#i am a very picky guy when it comes to food

[time-woods]

isnt it so strange how something can be so so so different yet at the sum of its parts its still the same? hard concept to grasp,,

full ver plus before i rendered!! (iv been rendering a bit different as of late and its basically just me not doing anything else in between the sketch and render)) (this is based off of PartyCoffins tumblr post! i needa go to bed so i shall find the link to it tomorrow)

For those who're following Flynn's health problems… update is below the cut. Not a great one, sadly.

We went back to the vets on Fri 31st Jan. Flynn had been on his new medicine - telmisartan - for 2 weeks. He's taking it in an effort to reduce the "leakiness" of his remaining kidney. I'd collected a sample for urinalysis a couple of days prior & we got blood taken on the day. Vet spoke to me Sat morning.

I'll start with the positives. Flynn's weight is still good. Actually, at any other time, I'd say he was actively too chubby but I've been intentionally stuffing his face with as much kidney-safe food as he'll eat & it's good he's heavy & good he's managed to gain a bit. As for blood work - Flynn's blood count is good, he isn't anaemic (a worry), electrolytes are normal.

However.

Urinalysis… unfortunately, Flynn's protein loss in his pee is sky high & still maxing out their machine. I wasn't shocked by this result, as telmisartan can take a bit of time to fully work & have an effect… & Flynn's only on a 1/2 dose for his weight. Still, I was obviously hoping for better news. I wish we could at least tell if we're heading in the right direction or not.

Blood work. Urgh. Sadly Flynn's now in Stage 2 of Chronic Kidney Disease. Technically, Stage 2 CKD is considered relatively "mild" & often manageable for a considerable length of time. The worry though, is that Flynn's kidney function seems to be deteriorating pretty fast. From what I've read, this isn't uncommon in dogs who've had high protein levels in their urine, plus, again: Flynn is down 1 kidney… Also, we're already doing what we can to support his kidney, & currently it doesn't seem to be helping much, if at all. Vet's previously said he fears Flynn's kidney has just sort of... reached the limit of what it can cope with.

For now, we're keeping Flynn on a 1/2 dose of telmisartan. Yes, we could increase it but telmisartan can cause side-effects (we're seeing some), including even kidney damage (tbh, I am worried it may be harming not helping… but then again, Flynn has seemed better able to keep weight on since taking meds so, who knows). Vet & I are concerned a full dose could be too much for Flynn to tolerate. We'll monitor, may increase the dose… may take him off it entirely. We are going to add a phosphate binder to his food, which can help maintain kidney function. Flynn's been on a renal diet for 18+ months. Some dogs with his symptoms are put on immunosuppressants, but my vet hasn't brought it up as an option & tbh, I'd be concerned about potential side-effects, although I may look into it more.

As for Flynn… eh, he's OK, for now… mostly, I think? He's sweet & wanting gentle pats, so I don't think he's hugely sore, or distressed. He's feeling sick at times (picky about food) but not sure if it's telmisartan or kidney disease. He's definitely tired & quiet & wanting to be home, warm. That's fine. We get out once or twice a day for a short walk, & he still seems interested in things. I've pulled old Barney's buggy out & started encouraging Flynn to hop in, for if/when he's at a point of wanting to go out but not walk far at all. Obviously, I am still very much trying to hold onto hope we can get him stabilised & keep him happy for some time to come but gosh it's hard & I am struggling to be overly optimistic. I guess all we can do is take each day as it comes.

Sorry for the long read, partly this is for me... I find it helps writing stuff down. Hug your dogs, guys & please think good thoughts for Flynnie.

Howdy! I don't know if you're still taking headcannon ideas (if not feel free to ignore this) BUT if you are could you do some headcannons of the outsiders boys with a partner that's a really picky eater?

picky eaters unite!! i am still taking requests, so thank you for sending one in!

tw/cw: discussions about food, food insecurity gender neutral reader

The Gang with a Picky Eater Headcanons

Darry:

My initial reaction was to say that I think a picky eater would bother him but then I thought about it and that doesn’t make any sense. He’s literally the oldest of 3 brothers, one of which canonically eats eggs with grape jelly and washes it down with chocolate milk. Strange relationships with certain foods or a picky eater isn’t going to phase him one bit.

All that to say that Darry doesn’t mind and is probably one of the most accommodating out of the group when it comes to helping you find meals that you like. He makes sure to have a few items/snacks in the fridge for you and scolds any of the guys if they think about eating them. That’s for his partner, not his little brothers. 

Has and will smack anyone upside the head if they make comments about you being a picky eater. He doesn’t want it to bother you and keeps an eye out to make sure the teasing doesn’t get too out of hand. 

In the book Darry is constantly making sure his brothers are eating enough and now that you two are dating that behavior extends to you. 

Sodapop:

This is the boy who eats eggs with grape jelly, he has no room to talk about picky eaters when he eats the way he does! Not that he would anyway. He doesn’t mind that you’re a picky eater and will gladly make sure that you find something that you like to eat when you two are together. 

He’s really good at remembering what you do and don’t like and I chalk that up to him being such a romantic and caring individual. I don’t subscribe to the idea that Sodapop is dumb even if that’s what he claims, because not doing well in school doesn’t mean you’re not smart. He has a good memory when he wants to apply it and you’re worth it to him. 

Might tease you a bit about certain foods you like over others but it’s always gentle teasing and you have plenty of ammunition to use against him regarding his own eating habits. The difference between his teasing and others picking on you is that it’s very obvious that he finds everything about you endearing and that includes you being a picky eater. 

Also keeps snacks in the fridge for you ^_^ But he does eat them so the chances of them being in stock when you visit is 50/50

Two Bit:

Okay he will tease you about being a picky eater, I’m sorry. It’s just in his nature to poke fun at other people’s quirks. But unlike Dallas (we’ll get to him in a moment) he’ll stop if he finds out it bothers you or if you’re not in the mood for it. 

He will eat anything that he can get his hands on so he doesn’t understand being picky about food. He’s basically Kirby and would inhale a car if it tasted good. 

Definitely eats off your plate regardless if it’s something you want or not. The King of getting rid of the side dishes you don’t want so that you don’t feel embarrassed about leaving it there (is that just something I worry about?). 

He does worry about you getting enough to eat. He may be a loud mouth with a lot to say but Two Bit Matthews is very caring and he loves his partner. 

He’s also an older brother so I wouldn’t be surprised if he has snacks in his car that he pulls out for you to have if he feels you haven’t eaten enough. DEFINITELY swipes stuff from the store too. What can I say, he’s a romantic in his own way

Dally: 

Dally, Dally, Dally…..look friends….Dallas Winston is an ass to everyone and that includes you. I know we all love him but I can’t erase the fact that he’s mean! Now I can see him being softer, more gentle with his partner but that doesn’t make you immune to his teasing and snark and I’m assuming that if you’re dating him that you’re either patient enough to work with him on that or you can dish it back at him

He teases you relentlessly about being picky because he can’t fathom turning down any food ever. This stems from the obvious fact that Dally has experienced food insecurity. There’s never a guaranteed meal once in his life. Until he started hanging out with the Curtis Gang. He eats every meal as if it’s his last. He simply can’t wrap his head around you not eating food put in front of you. 

Similarly to Two Bit, Dallas will eat off your plate at any time. But unlike Two Bit it’s not necessarily out of a desire to help you out. He’s just hungry and doesn’t like to waste food.

Over time he starts to understand that you’re not being picky just for the sake of being picky. That it’s actually something that you struggle with and (if you’re like me) wish you could change. Knowing this probably curbs some of the teasing or slight resentment on his end. 

When he takes you out for food he makes sure to find a place that he knows you like. On the rare occasions you can’t find something you prefer, he’ll help scavenge together enough from other meals that result in something that will fill you up. 

He still gives you a hard time, but at least you can see a good natured glint in his eyes about it

[ushouldwatchhaikyuu]

your self shipping post looked sooo cute so i thought i would send you an ask!!

— pronouns : she/her

— personality : energetic, loud, and sociable! i love being with my friends, but because of how extroverted i am i get lonely very easily. i’m actually pretty shy around people that i’ve never met before, but once ive been enabled i’ll start yapping like no tomorrow.

— likes : photography, reading, note-taking, and cheesy puns

— dislikes : bugs, asparagus, and tall shelves (i am short)

— crush: kuroo :))

— tropes / scenarios : tall x short (he is 188cm and i’m like 147cm) // teasing x being teased (i’m that type of person to get flustered really easily. i also react….very physically if i ever get flustered. like- i’ll punch and kick. but i try not to punch and kick too hard) // picky eater x human garbage disposal (i’m a little picky) // nerdy loser x nerdy loser (he likes science … and i like bad puns. it’s a match made in heaven)

Tetsurou Kuroo x Flustered!Reader headcanons

hii! sorry this took a bit, thank u for ur patience. hope u like these!! u two would be so cute 😭

warnings: none!

credits: gif ; dividers

when you two first met, he LOVED to tease you and joke around with you, especially bc of how shy you were about it at first. you thought he was this cool edgy guy jokingly flirting with you, and he thought you were cute and shy.

however, as you two got closer, you realized he's actually a loser and he realized you're actually quite extroverted. so, the teasing continued but it turned into something closer to two friends joking around, rather than him trying to flirt with some random cute girl

that doesn't mean you don't get flustered when he calls you petnames or compliments you (and it certainly doesn't mean he likes seeing you blush any less)

most of his flirting comes in the form of jokes that turn more obvious as time goes on.

it starts with him joking that he likes to eat with you because you give him your leftovers, or complimenting you because he says its funny how worked up you get. then, it was him just saying you two should go on a date and act like its your anniversary to see if the restaurant gives you any free food, or saying he wonders if kissing you would make you blush even more

eventually, of course, he blurts out how much you like him and tries to cover it up with a joke– which, of course, you've known him for too long to believe it

your go-to dates are studying together– you're both the perfect balance between being losers who want to actually study and being dumbasses who like joking around.

you also often go out to eat together; he knows all your food preferences and usually tries to pick places that have food you'll like, but he's clearly glad to eat anything you don't. he also cooks you stuff sometimes, and it's cool to be able to just eat it without even asking what it is because you know he'll only make you stuff he knows you like.

you're disgustingly cute when you go out to eat together. you feed each other in restaurants and share street food while walking, hands intertwined and silly cute smiles on both your faces

if anything, being your boyfriend just makes him enjoy making you flustered all that much more. he's actually a bit shy when it comes to romantic affection in public, but he kisses you all over and flirts with you openly because he loves to see you blush and smile when he does.

I wanted to make a longer post on the specific symptoms of C-ptsd, OCD and autism traits that I feel iceland would have, so here that post is

If anyone wonders why these three, these are ones I have myself, and feel they do make historical sense for him(except ASD, but thats a personal headcanon). There are many different ways these disorders show up in people; i am no expert. But these are based on my own experiences ˆ𐃷ˆ

Ocd:

-Iceland experiences compulsions and obsessions, most often in the form of religious intrusive thoughts, and compulsions such as needing to do a quick prayer in the belief something bad will happen if he doesnt

-Norway and Denmark have grown quite used to Ice's need to check if doors are locked multiple times

-he most frequently has intrusive thoughts about people leaving him, and needing to do compulsions that seem completely unrelated

C-ptsd:

-Ice can sleep like a rock most nights, but in bad nights he will struggle to fall asleep, often stressed out of his mind for no apparent reason, this will manifest in one of two ways: lashing out or becoming fully distressed.

-most often this is triggered by a persistent feeling of loneliness, he can manage on his own but will become noticeably more stressed, more agitated and a lack of self care: he spends most of his time with norway or Denmark for this reason

-he is generally distrustful of other people, which is how his anxiety manifests itself. Which he can struggle with because he does enjoy being around others, this distrustfulness makes it difficult for him to trust others

Autism spectrum disorder:

Probably the least.. heavy in terms of trauma. He is quite blunt when need be, and is incapable of fully reading a room.

-I have mentioned passively that I headcanon him to have a "blunted affect" which means his emotional output is blunted, he struggles with showing emotions through his facial expressions, he could be very happy or content and still have a monotonous facial expression

-he has a strict routine and specific foods that he likes, but is in general a very sensory seeking person. He enjoys going outside and doing outdoorsy stuff like certain sports or hikes. However he does not like a lot of noise or being surrounded by people

-does not make eye contact when speaking or he makes too much eye contact, there's no in between.

-when frustrated or overwhelmed he also has a tendency to get agitated rather than sad or upset. He will come off as snappy, impatient or irritated when he is overwhelmed(or behind on schedule) which the nordics are used to

-I like to think that iceland is very fond of learning about fish or talking about fishing, as he's been doing it for a very long time he knows a lot about it.

-a bit of a picky eater to be honest, this guy likes fish, sheep and vegetables, anything else is stuff he has to force himself to try

you will baby him a bit because he is the king and he needs to be protected <3

he gets blushy when you do and act like he doesnt like it, but we all know he does <3

Hiii! Could I get some matchmaking for Hayden Christensen’s characters, I’m 5’6 with black hair that fades into red in a wolf cut with brown eyes. I’m a biology and psychology major, cheerleader, and I’m always considered the mom friend. I tend to try to light up the room and be there for others but I don’t have sort of qualms about speaking up for myself or handling conflict. I tend to speak my mind and be very blunt, rational, and logical. I’m known for having high standards, being picky, and enjoying the finger things in life.

Although I can come off as bossy, mean, I get really sensitive and I tend to be a crybaby sometimes. I love fashion, painting, sculpting, writing, but I also love more hobbies like math, science, and I’m constantly striving to learn. I tend to be the mediator and voice of reason with a lot of patience but I’m the worst when I’m angry apparently. I have a dad sense of humor that can be corny but at least I make myself laugh.

i have a lot of friends but I find it difficult to open up sometimes. I love horror movies even though I get easily scared and I studied ancient history for a long time so it’s something I’m passionate about. Thank you so much! 🩷

your match is ... sam monroe !!

♡ your hair is what drew sam to you

♡ sam thought he was the only "emo" kid but when he saw your dyed black and red hair in the cafeteria he was so exited (secretly ofc)

♡ he had been wanting to talk to you for weeks and when he saw you and his freind alyssa sitting together he took his chance

♡ he was leaning on the tree by alyssa's table in his usual spot with his headphones on and his eyed closed and maybe he didn't have music playing so he could eavesdrop 🤷‍♀️

♡ "hey y/n can you come over to my house after cheer practice to help me study for our next test?" "of course"

♡ so you were hot, emo, a cheerleader and smart ... this was sam's dream

♡ the next day he took his chance and came up with a plan

♡ at the beginning of biology he would compliment your hair, then he would sit in front of you, then at the end of class he would ask you to come over and help him with the subject matter

♡ and thats how sam monroe got himself stuck cleaning his room, retaping posters to the wall, shoving all his dirty clothes in the closet and opening a window to air out that weird smell

♡ when the doorbell rang it was a race of time and gravity for sam to get to the door before his dad ... he lost.

♡ sam had never had a girl over besides alyssa but she didn't really count so it was safe to say his dad was thrilled

♡ every time his dad tried to ask you a question sam cut him off 😭

♡ sam was extremely awkward at first but after a few of your jokes he transitioned from robot to human and you guys had a lot of fun for learning biology

♡ before you left you got sam's number and set up another time to hang out

♡ you guys started hanging out a lot more often ... sam's plan was working !

♡ after a few weeks you told sam you liked him and his brain short circuited (back to robot boy)

♡ yay you're dating now !!

♡ you always helped sam chill out whether josh was messing with him, his step-dad was judging him or his real dad was pissing him off

♡ sam always thought of you as sensitive and calm until the first time he saw you angry

♡ there was nothing to be really mad about except this morning you ran out of concealer, you stubbed your toe on the way to second period, you ran out of lunch money, failed a test in your favorite class and you got your period

♡ everything added up and at the end of the day sam found you crying in his car, he drove you home and listened to you yell and rant for an hour then cry for another

♡ he held you and ran his fingers through your hair (something you do to him when he's upset), ordered you favorite food, put on your favorite horror movie and decided he never wanted to see you angry again

a glimpse into your relationship ...

a/n: yeah i am an alyssa hater and make it so they never dated 😼 anyways hope you liked it merry christmas !! 🎄

[nerogurl]

Hey! I saw your page n i was genuinely sooo geeked i love f&h and have lowk been wishing someone had matchups open for them. Thank you SOO much in advance!

 

I’m 20 years old so anyone that age or older would be awesomeee. My pronouns are He/She and I’m into guys, if possible could I get a character from both games? If not, do whatever you feel likee!!

Personality wise, I consider myself chill and super easy to talk to. I can easily be pulled out of my shell and talk to you like you’re a good friend, even if we’re just meeting. I have a strong sense of humor, my humor consists of banter and keeping a bit going, I also like jabs and I think that making whoever I’m joking around with look like an asshole is funny.  I’m a big shit talker too. I lack empathy just a bit. I still try my best to console, but I either don’t really understand it or…… care. I’ll come to the situation with logic and a level head, but if I’m upset, then it’s almost the end of the world (I’m dramatic and sensitive even if I don’t seem like it outwardly).  I’m usually really laid back but I have my moments of being weird or awkward, it usually manifests in awkward tics like obsessively adjusting my glasses or touching the bridge of my nose while I’m talking or after. I’m incredibly opinionated and I like to be outspoken on what I believe.

For likes and dislikes uhmm… I like stuff like cats, piercings… Ironically enough I don’t really like sweets despite working at a bakery, I definitely favor savory food. I don’t like people who lack manners and I hate embarrassing situations- I get second hand embarrassment soo bad like I have to leave the room if something embarrassing is happening, despite this ironically weird and embarrassing to embarrass people around me is sooo funny to me, I just like fucking with people.

I’m not picky with partners, I’d say the biggest thing I want from a partner is someone who can communicate. I’m patient for the most part but if you can’t just talk to me I’m gonna like blow a gasket.  I also would need someone who’s touchy-feely, maybe not affection wise, but I'm very hands-on; smacking them whenever I'm laughing too hard or if I’m shocked, smacking them on tha butt, sorrryyy! I would say my love language isn’t exactly physical affection as I don’t really care for stuff like hugs but I’m just a touchy person… I would consider my love language to be gift giving however, I love giving and receiving, I also love words of affirmation but I admittedly am quick to embarrass when it comes to ANY type of affection

For hobbies and stuff, I love art. Drawing is my biggest hobby, and it has been for years and years…! I'm also really into listening to music, mainly rock and metal. I also luuv smoking (not cigarettes eww), but I don’t do it alot, baking/cooking is nice toooo. I really like napping too- it’s probably not an actual hobby I guess… to me it’s a damn sport I sleep with a fucking sleeping mask bro……… a little embarrassing but hay..

I lean towards being feminine, I.e longer hair with bangs and stuff. I’m really particular about my hair, not that I want it to look nice and clean, it needs to be purposefully messy. I love piercings, I have an eyebrow, septum, and navel. I don't really dress up.. Comfortability > Fashion.

Again, thank you SOOO MUUCH have an awesome day/night <3

Right in time before 2025, here's a New Years gift from me to you!

First up, we have Enki. I think it's an important distinction to make that you mentioned that you wait *after* you've starting the relationship, that you get touchy and like to tease people. When Enki has low mind in the party, Rag teases him concerning his Dark Priest status over that he would so easily give into the darkness. Instead of anger, for the first and only time in-game we see Enki genuinely amused.

Touching Enki without permission is a good way to get a Hurting to the face. His unfamiliarity with intimacy is what can spell his undoing, found to have become an abominal marriage in hard mode. But just like how he accepts the teasing from someone he's formed a bond with, he cops your handsy touch with the same attitude of a bickering old married couple; grumbling over how insufferable you are as he squeezes you back. 

He wouldn't want someone too involved, as he would assume that he was being used for his magic. Much like how he does in the game, he becomes enraged if you try to talk to him too many times. Your initial laidback attitude helps establish a bond through close proximity, while your charisma works on slowly breaching the gap, building the rappour required to lure him out of his All-mer conservative expression and biting Gro-goroth defensiveness, to release his more vulnerable Sylvian side.

The only way you can recruit Enki is if you have a Eclipse Talisman to exchange for his services. He could just kill you or exchange something for the amulet, but he creates a scenario that involves him joining the party. Out of touch with his emotions, his headspace parallel's your apathetic nature. You two share a similar way of managing conflict and resolving issues that would help you understand each other better when being vulnerable.  

Enki could relate to your career dynamic of not liking pastries but working as a baker. I imagine in a modern world he would find himself dealing with similar assumptions, having to deal with people that think because he reads that he must like fiction. If in response to talking about the occult someone asks him if he likes Harry Potter one more time it is going to trigger an unbridled homicidal rage the likes of which no one has ever seen before.

Second, we have O'ssa! O'ssa is the only canonical prankster of the cast, with him pretending to be a Dark Priest at the confessional. Once you start the teasing or play a jest, you immediately see the gears turning in his head. You would be screwing with the 'priest' by confessing to strange behaviour ('I like to drink milk after its become raw to feel the chunky texture in my mouth') to bizarre fetishes ('All-mer wants us to eat his body. Is it a sin to enjoy it too much? I mean, if you think about it, God wants to devour *our* bodies, so when I confess it's a bit like you're .... *uncomfortable prolonged eye contact through the eye-slot*..... devouring my flesh.') 'Again..... really weird.... but not a sin.' But being very easy to wind up makes it very easy to set you up in revenge. He's going to have a lot of fun concocting the most unhinged form of repentance, to make you dread the potential confrontation waiting for you, walking out of that confessional.

Humour is a form of communication, that as a social species, people naturally want that connection reciprocated. If you decide to attack him after he leaves the confessional, he replies 'I didn't realise it was this big of an insult.' Even if the exchange is just in passing, his feelings are hurt by you rejecting this connection so violently. His first instinct despite closing himself off emotionally, is to not put up a front, but to be earnest in communicating how he feels. O'ssa is good at maintaining a level head during emotionally charged conflicts. Especially valuable for aiding in deescalation and baring through the storm, he'd be capable of the reasonable discussion that you desire in a partner.

This emotional security crosses over into his love language. He shares the same attitudes as you to intimacy. He doesn't need reassurance that he's loved with platitudes like a kiss good morning or hug goodnight. However, he notes when at a discovered Slyvian circle, that he's disappointed that that's the extent of all the town has to offer, he shares your comfort for being physical where it counts. The type that wants show that they love you, gift giving fits his eccentric personality perfectly. Throw pillows, silk lien, incense, so you can relax together in luxury. 

You can draw him as a gift! Drawing is one the most admirable artistic skills you could have, in O'ssa's eyes. In the slums, he explains that he believes that there is no point in feeling sorry for the people, as they are responsible for their own lives unless you actually want to do something about it. Like dragging oneself out of hell, drawing is a skill driven by personal determination, that no privilege could teach you like practise. He respects the effort behind the craft. 

Despite what first impressions might imply, that he dislikes modern comforts, such as his distain for modern literature, this only applies to the Western society that he sees as interwoven with the All-mer faith he despises. All-mer philosophy is heavily tied to our real world counterpart, Catholicism, denouncing indulgence as sin. Meanwhile, Sylvia and Gro-goroth have no such issues. The trick is not do so in excess so you don't lose your mind, if you can recall the coin events for each cult in the first game. Sleep as much as you like. While you're napping in the afternoon, he'll gently sit nearby as to not disturb you and meditate. You can relax and he can keep an eye, so you don't lose the day to your beauty sleep. 

Tdlr; O'ssa & Enki are your matches. Overall, I think that O'ssa is your best match.

okay y’all real question for the betta fish tumblr community. i’ve had my little guy Dante for over a year and i just left him with my family for a couple days while i was out of town, and according to my mother and sibling, Dante has an “attitude” every time i go somewhere and leave him with my family for a few days. apparently he’ll be picky with his food and not immediately come up to eat like he usually does with me, and he won’t even come up to the glass of his tank when my mom would go to feed him. for a second i thought something might be wrong, but no, i went to feed him and did our silly little routine where i talk to him to get him to come over. he got really excited and ate immediately, and it was adorable.

so i guess my question is like: does this happen to anyone else? because i find it very interesting and am curious

Defying Certain Death Part 20

Dual posted to my DeviantArt account, a non-sexual G/T vore story featuring adults along the lines of the lion and the thorn fable. There will be tons of hurt/comfort aspects, lots of safe vore. That is the primary focus in this.

Barrett is an adult giant standing 85ft tall and Hope is an adult human at 5ft 6. Barrett does not eat children at any point. 

Warnings: Fighting; Fatal Mention; Characters in Distress

Future and Previous: While this part has no fatalities, future parts include fatal vore and violence. Barrett, the giant, is not a good guy, so will be doing some occasional bad things.

Since what happened with the thieves, Barrett did not like being away from camp for long. He didn’t like the idea of Hope being vulnerable or at risk, but taking care of her during her illness hadn’t let him hunt as frequently as usual. He didn’t want to leave her alone, but she also clearly didn’t like seeing when he ate humans, and he suspected she would react similarly to seeing him eat any other sort of small folk. But he needed food, and going hungry longer than usual meant he couldn’t afford to be picky. Which unfortunately meant leaving Hope at camp and hoping the smell of a syor living there would scare off most things. At least today had been a good hunt. A nice moose was caught, not a common find, and large enough to be rather filling. He paused on his walk back and his ears flicked as he heard an unfamiliar male voice. And he dropped his catch and charged forward. He flicked up the tertiary eyelid organ to see past the trees…something larger than Hope was at their camp. His feet moved with instinct before thoughts even formed. 

Another predator was in camp. Another predator was with his Hope.

“MINE!”

-----Earlier....-----

Hope was rather startled when a large naga, standing probably about 25 ft tall or a tad shorter, came through the trees. He had long curly hair that was so intensely black it was as if dipped in ink, but there were streaks of gray despite no other outward signs of great age.. From his vibrant blue coloration, and his thick build, he wasn't one of the native varieties. She wondered if his kind, like native nagas, had the potential to be dangerous predators. He very well could be, but if he was, he wasn't hunting her, instead he smiled warmly, “Hello there! I think I got a bit lost. Can you tell me where I am?”

Still, she was a bit wary. This could be a trick. And yet… How long had it been since she’d talked to someone? “I haven’t seen nagas your size in this area before. Too close to a syor settlement for them to thrive.”

The naga paused, considering, “Then I must be very far off track... May I sit here?” he asked as he gestured near where she sat on the shore of the lake.

 Hope nodded, “I don’t mind... but you may not want to stay long. There’s a syor in the area, and I doubt he would react well to you.”

The naga nodded in return, then curled up in a seated position near her before reassuring her and introducing himself, “That’s alright. I’m quite confident I can handle myself. I’ve studied quite a bit of magic. I’m Taevis by the way.”

The potential overconfidence didn't do much to assuage Hope’s concerns. But they had just started talking and it was going so well, and Barrett was probably still hunting decently far away. “I’m Hope. You say you studied magic but didn’t mention the college... Did you study somewhere else? Like I heard there’s places of study on the far continent... I hope you are right about being able to defend yourself from a syor. He will come back for me... so far doesn’t seem to intend to eat me, but that could probably change at any time... but he definitely isn’t going to let me run off. He left me here while he went to hunt, you can see the tent he uses right over there. If you want, I have a pretty good idea of the direction of the nearest syorian town. They can help you get your bearings there.”

Taevis listened attentively to her, frowning a bit at her ramblings. “If you want me to leave that badly, I can head off... but I was enjoying your company. I’ve been wandering lost for a while now.”

Hope’s eyes widened as she realized her rudeness and she shook her head vigorously, “Oh I definitely love the company. Since that syor has decided to... I don’t know... keep me? I haven’t had much chance to speak to people. Mostly just him, and that’s mostly me hoping every day that he doesn’t change his mind about keeping me alive. I just worry about your safety is all. If you are that confident you can defend yourself, I really do love having someone to talk to. I’ve missed it.”

Taevis’ face flushed slightly, “I don’t intend to scare, but I’m pretty confident I’m one of the most dangerous things around! I’d be far more worried about being lost than about the syor. But even if I’m dangerous, I’m not going to hurt you. I’m really glad to have run into someone so helpful to a stranger!”

 “I like to help people... but my desire to help others has gotten me in trouble a few times,” Hope chuckled nervously, “Like the fact these days I rarely get to see or talk to anyone. Last time he found a traveler, he just ate them. Can’t exactly have a conversation if the person immediately becomes food... And it’s not like I can have much conversation with the syor... I’m still not sure how long he’s going to keep me around before I end up like that traveler.” Hope shrugged and took a deep breath , “But nothing I can do about it, so at the very least I can be kind to the first person I’ve had a proper conversation with in... I’m not even sure how long anymore. Two months? Three?”

Taevis considered her words then smiled down at Hope, “You could always come with me. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t go around eating travelers, at least. I have no real idea where I’m going at the moment, but it sounds better than staying here!”

Hope sighed even deeper and tried to laugh but it came out wrong, “That’s very kind of you, but I guarantee the syor won’t let me go. But until he comes back, if you want, I have plenty of food. He’s been taking everything the travelers carry, and the amount of food... it’ll go bad before I could ever eat it all. It’s in that cart over there. As for directions... following the lake shore that way will lead to a river. There’s a town just upstream,” she pointed in the direction of the town. 

This new revelation surprised Taevis, “He eats travelers and makes you use their stuff? That’s kind of fucked up! And it seems a proper comb hasn’t been in those supplies. How about I help you with your hair a bit, since you’ve helped me with my problem of being lost?”and he pulled a human sized comb from one of the pouches at his waist.

Now it was Hope’s turn to be surprised, and she nodded hesitantly. She tensed up when he put his hands around her to pick her up and set her on his coils, if he was hunting her she was now in his clutches. At least she knew Barrett would avenge her. Then her fear melted away as the comb went through her hair.  The strong but delicate hands held her secure and though the comb pulled a bit, it felt nice rather than painful. She didn't even flinch when he took out a knife to cut the dead ends. How long had it been since someone had been gentle with her?

Hope was so relaxed she didn't hear Taevis ask her about her life before ending up in her current situation. He had to repeat the question. Now she genuinely smiled, not a shred of discomfort left, “I had a beautiful farm... I actually came out this way to get some new...”

“MINE!”

The roar came as Barrett charged out of the trees.

The naga hissed and slithered back rapidly and held himself tall, knife in one hand, and with the other… Well he tried to put Hope behind him, to protect the vulnerable human. But she ran out and stood between the two monsters. 

Hope was determined to defuse the situation without bloodshed, and she knew Barrett’s first instinct would be to grab her, though she was worried that Taevis would attack as she was lifted up by the syor. Thankfully he didn’t. And more thankfully, Barrett, who was running on pure possessive instinct, didn't crack any ribs snatching her up. 

With Hope in hand Barrett’s eyes looked down upon the naga, taking its smaller size and making quick judgments as to how dangerous it may be. His predator calculations worked quickly to give him an answer. “Looks like I don’t need to hunt anymore…”

A deeper hiss, almost a growl, came from the naga, “Listen, syor. I did not come seeking a fight, but it will not go well if you press the issue.” 

Barrett growled lower, “You were messing with something that belongs to me. I know you could smell I have been here a while and she is mine. Besides, I still need a meal.”

“I recommend hunting elsewhere,” Taevis warned, eyes flashing.

Barrett smirked, confident as he extended his claws, “But I just found something large enough I won’t have to hunt for a few days… Why would I walk away from such a substantial meal?”

The naga exhaled a cloud of frosty mist, intending the elemental magic to be sufficient warning and make it clear to this syor that physical size won’t win this fight. A miscalculation on his part, the syor charged forward and slashed with his claws. The unexpected stupidity caught Taevis off guard and he felt pain as the claws made contact. Then the lightning Taevis had been preparing struck Barrett’s arm, making the syor jerk back as his skin burned and muscles seized with electricity and pain. 

Barrett hesitated to charge again, his predator brain re-calculating. While a large meal was good, getting Hope away from this other predator was top priority. It was time to leave, or convince the naga to leave. Cursing from the pain of the attack he spat at the naga, “What the fuck… nagas don’t do that… Just… get out of here. I’ll just eat the human.”

Taevis let out a very un-naga-like growl, “I was afraid you’d say that,” and lunged forward with another bolt of electricity. At the same time Barrett pulled a dagger from his waist, snarling. 

Barrett charged again, slashing the dagger at the naga’s face and cutting him across the cheek. This time he knew he lacked the element of surprise, and making contact with the knife wasn't his true goal. As Taevis moved away Barrett anticipated the direction and kicked at the naga’s serpent body, punting it into the lake. It landed with a satisfying splash and Barrett allowed himself a self congratulatory purr. Until the surface of the lake bulged, a hill as large as himself made of water rose up, and broke. 

Instead of a naga emerging from the water, a horned humanoid that was, to Barrett's acute dismay, well over a head taller than he was. Horns curved back on the head, bluish silver scales visible on the cheeks under the gash from the dagger. Decorative metal decorated the horns as well as earrings and even gold cuffs on the draconic wings spreading behind him. A long reptilian tail, adorned with those silver scales and fins on the end lashed back and forth creating waves taller than Hope in the water. True vicious talons on the hands made Barrett suddenly aware of his own less substantial retractable claws. A demidragon. Offspring or descended from true dragons, and no less dangerous than the full blooded sort.

The demidragon stepped out of the lake, clawed feet furrowing the damp ground, and Barrett struggled to not show apprehension as Taevis spread his wings to further emphasize his superior size. Barrett was determined to deny Taevis the satisfaction and showing any fear. And Barrett was afraid… but Hope was his and only his, so he tightened his grip on his blade, and held Hope to his chest. “Just leave! I won’t let you take her!” Focusing on his own abilities, Barrett decided to demonstrate the magic syor did have. He flung the dagger, using his natural magic to shoot it towards Taevis’ wing joint. But the demidragon, with an agonizingly casual motion, blocked it with an arm.

With his focus split between his dagger and his Hope, even his quick reflexes failed as Taevis quickly turned his thick tail, sweeping Barrett’s feet out from under him, followed by a horrible loud THUMP and CRACK as Barrett landed on his back. “Don’t you fucking touch Hope! I’ll cut your throat!” His voice broke with fear instead of aggression as he tried the knife again, flinging it wildly at Taevis. 

Having announced the second attack, Taevis was easily able to grab the dagger from mid-air. He ignored the blood dripping from his palm and electricity crackled through his hand, heating the knife white hot and deforming it in the shape of his grip.

Taevis let it drop as he stepped forward, placed a heavy clawed foot on Barrett's chest, knelt down, and got his talons around the wrist which held Hope. Barrett’s eyes narrowed and he growled, “I’ll bite your throat out! I won’t let you take her!” 

Taevis ignored him and spoke words that Barrett did not recognize, summoning gleaming magic that wrapped rapidly around the syor. Once the syor was thoroughly immobilized, Taevis growled, “You want to eat her. I’m not going to let that happen.” He pressed his talons into the soft underflesh of Barrett's wrist and with his other hand pried open Barretts fist. It wasn't that hard, the syor was not crushing the human; not that surprising since they like them alive and squirming after all. 

Barrett snarled at the demidragon, “Like I would actually eat the woman who saved my life!” 

That piqued Taevis’ interest and against his better judgment he let the syor continue to breathe and speak. 

“But saying that makes other syor back off so I thought it would work with other predators!” 

Taevis studied the syor’s expression, thinking. He wasn’t from this region, but had heard from travelers that syor were unusually honest, unless deceit was needed for extreme situations. Keeping a human was not an extreme situation.. Protecting kin, mates, and other giants that were close might qualify and thus force abnormally honest creature to lie… But he did not have enough experience with the species to be sure. 

“Hmm… Do not try to get loose from your bindings.” He moved to open his own hand that had taken Hope from the syor, holding her on upturned palm to try to make her feel less restrained, “Hope, is what he saying true? He threatened to rip my throat out… which was… unexpected.” He could see Hope was nervous with his larger size, so he further adjusted his hold and she relaxed a bit more. 

It still took a moment for her to find her voice, “I… did save his life. That’s what I meant by helping others ending badly… I was about to tell you before he showed up… and… he has said he’ll eat me to another syor who tried to grab me once… but I’ve never been sure if saving his life was enough that he wouldn’t change his mind about keeping me alive…” 

Barrett was surprised by the last part of what Hope said, “I was half starved after you spent weeks freeing me from that rockslide and I didn’t kill you then! Why would I kill you now when I’m not half starved to death?”

In an attempt to reassure Hope, Taevis cupped his hand slightly to provide a cage of talons between her and the syor. His eyes flashed as he glared at Barrett, “I was speaking to the young woman. I am not going to trust you until she corroborates your claims… Besides, can‘t hardly blame her with your kind’s reputation.”

To Taevis’ surprise, Hope peeked over his hand to look at Barrett, “Your kind is notorious for having no regard for human life, and the way you have been hunting travelers makes it clear that hasn’t changed!” her harsh expression turned to surprise as she heard her own torrent of words. She sighed, sitting down on Taevis’s palm as she considered what else her new… friend? captor? wanted to know, “I… I don’t know. I’ve been stuck with him this long and… I just don’t know. He acts sorta nice, for a syor I guess… but also won’t let me leave… It didn't exactly help matters when he tortured and ate my father right in front of me…”

Barrett’s ears twitched at the mention of her father, “I do not regret eating your father. When I brought him back because he smelled like you, the look of pure fear on your face at the sight of him made it clear what I had to do.”

“Should I give you two some privacy?” Taevis narrowed his eyes, “Or perhaps it is my having her safe from you that allows such a discussion…” His tone softened a bit, “If so can at least get more comfortable…?”

Barrett let out a deep hissing sigh, “Hope barely says a word to me these days. The last time she has said this much was when I was trapped under those rocks. I do not like these restraints and I do not like you touching what’s mine… But Hope is actually talking to me for once.”

Hope looked down briefly as she thought about the situation, then at the hand around her, then up at Taevis before looking back down, “Well… a demidragon is strong enough that if you did lose your temper, you couldn’t hurt me…” She turned her eyes to meet Taevis’s, “Please don’t leave me alone with him…” 

Taevis nodded, “Well then, Hope… if you are confident enough in my protection, would you mind if I released his restraints before I lose feeling in my knees? I won’t leave, and I won’t set you down until you are ready.” Hope took some time to consider and nodded. Taevis gestured and released the magic restraining Barrett however hee tensed in preparation as Barrett sat up.“I recommend sitting near the lake, the cool water will ease the electrical burns.”

Barrett hesitated, his instincts to care for his wounds at war with his aversion to moving even a few steps further away from Hope. Finally the pain won and he knelt by the water to soak his wrist.

 Hope expressed a bit of surprise, “You burned Barrett?”she glanced back at his tail again. 

Taevis only glanced briefly at hope, keeping focused on Barrett, “So that’s his name? And yes. While my tail may have the fins of the oceanic dragons, I’m a mix of silver and oceanic..” -

Hope nodded as she thought over that explanation, “That explains the lightning. I’ve met silver dragons and demidragons before. Even had some visit my farm on occasion.” 

Taevis smiled slightly, “I heard some of my kind live around this continent, but I actually traveled here from quite far away, This is my first encounter with one of his kind” meaning syor, “I’d heard stories of these ‘evil giants that treat smaller races as food’. I thought it might be an exaggeration, but he has proven me wrong.” He turned to look at Barrett with a slight glare, “I now suspect you could tell I wasn’t threatening her and you were using ‘protection’ as an excuse to make a meal of me before you knew what I am. With that kind of behavior, I don’t blame her for fearing a change of heart!”

Barrett gave a snort, “You aren’t her. She’s special. She spent weeks saving my life, so I intend to protect her. You were a potential meal. Good meat ain’t always easy to find.”

Taevis thought for a moment as he calmed, “While I understand protecting those you care about, and getting a nice treat as a bonus… that doesn’t seem to be what you were actually doing. It is curious that you would act as if it was…I heard syor aren’t big on deception, and the only one you would be deceiving is Hope… meaning.”

Taevis waited to see if Barrett would continue and when he didn’t, “Meaning… you do care about not upsetting her enough to go against your normal straightforward nature.”

Barrett grumbled under his breath a bit. Clearly unhappy with the implication he was being dishonest in some way, but also not outright denying it. It was true that syor tended to be true to their word and not all that inclined to lie. Occasionally lying to give false hope to humans they caught, that he had done. But that’s not what Taevis was talking about. Protecting a human’s feelings was simply not done. “Still not happy about you touching Hope…”

Hope frowned, “I don’t see what the big deal is, he’s been very kind and friendly.”

Taevis rolled his eyes, “and Yet at you do seem happy that she is more open to talking. But perhaps you will be in a more amicable mood after having some food.”

Barrett gave a slight snort, “Well the bull moose I killed before I saw you is enough for me and Hope.”

This, for reasons Barrett couldn’t understand but Taevis could, angered Hope, “Wait, you were successful at hunting, but you still tried to eat a naga?” 

Barrett shrugged, “Bull moose is a meal for one day, naga is a meal for several.” 

Taevis glanced around the campsite, “I don’t see anything for you to prepare the moose… Where is your cooking fire?” 

Barrett rolled his eyes, “Why would I waste time cooking it? The only reason I didn’t eat it immediately was to see if Hope wanted some.”

Taevis pinched his nose, “You are saying that all these piles of supplies and you don’t even prepare proper meals for yourself? No wonder you are so scrawny and hungry.” He surveyed the piles, “Hope will never use the supplies before they go bad, so why not combine the moose with some veggies that are about to go bad and make something that will last both of us a couple days?”

Barrett was rather confused at the suggestion, “Mix the meat… with something else? You mean like the syorian do? I’m not a wimpy syorian. I don’t do that. I hunt like any proper syor.”

The look of astonishment on Taevis’ face made Barrett uncomfortable, and Taevis’ response didn’t help “You.. aren’t familiar with cooking…” he said with concern before grinning with all his teeth. A mouth full of vicious fangs. “Well I happen to be a very good cook. It will keep it from going bad and be much more filling.”

Hope piped up, “There’s a ton of metal cookware in the carts! If we combine all the metal we have we can make a great pan to cook with! Oh I would love to share some recipes! I wonder if they would turn out as good when done at such a large size…”

Barrett was taken aback by Hope’s boldness and excitement about the prospect of cooking yet he was still hesitant. He wasn’t sure if he should be offended or not, “You want me to do what syorians do with food…”

Taevis arched a brow as he looked at Barrett again, “Like demidragons do. Like many scaly dragons do. You aren’t saying your kind are better than dragons, are you?” he flashed his teeth again. 

Barrett frowned and looked away, not sure how to respond. Taevis stood. “I’m going to go find that dead moose. You keep soaking that hand. Hope seems to want to stay by me at the moment, but we will remain close, I can smell it is just beyond those trees.”

Barrett gave a slight snarl, “I don’t like you having my Hope… But she…” his words faltered so instead he growled, “Try to steal her and demidragon or not I will hunt you down.”

With a shrug of his wings Taevis turned to walk back into the woods, and hoped to have a private conversation with Hope before their return to the clearing, assuming the syor stayed by the lake to soak the burn.

Hi dippy!!! I know I’m late but congrats on 1k! The celebration idea is pretty epic. I’ve never seen someone do something like this before on here. Would ya mind if I got a fortune telling?? I’m not sure how to go about this so I’m just gonna turn off my brain and ramble. I’m sorry if this becomes too long 😅

I’m 4’10” (stumpy asf ik) and petite but curvy in “all the right places” as I’m told often. I’m black and an #audhdgirly (autism and adhd) so I am pretty awkward, shy, blunt/straightforward, energetic, and very quiet. That quiet shit goes out the window the moment i get to talking about one of my special interests tho (I could ramble on for hours without realizing it which can sometimes be embarrassing). Sarcasm goes straight over my head (bc of the ‘tism). I am always doing something to stimulate myself but I’m clumsy and often find random marks on me that make others concerned. I scare my loved ones often because when I’m overstimulated I tend to go nonverbal and find small, quiet places to be in alone and also bc I tend to go mia or wander around while lost in my head. (There has been too many instances in my life where a full on search party has been sent out to look for me when I’m literally just like under my bed, or in my closet, or something.) I have sensory issues like no fucking other and I’m incredibly creative for no reason at all. I enjoy spending time with my loved ones even if it’s being with them while they do something they like while I do my own things, or just sitting in silence with them (especially if I’m overstimulated) but I also cherish my alone time. I love physical touch (unless I’m overstimulated). I’m a cuddle bug (especially bc im cold all the time. like seriously it’s a problem). I am also very emotional and have meltdowns pretty routinely when upset. I do struggle to showcase my emotions physically (bc of the ‘tism) so most people don’t realize I’m upset until I start crying.

I LOVE food but I am a picky eater (bc of the ‘tism). My style is pretty cohesive. It’s a lot of soft sweaters, flowy skirts and dresses, tights, cardigans, mary janes, and bows in soft or deep colors like browns, tans, dark greens, dark blues, dark purples, whites, blacks, and pastels. I love books and film! I read and watch a lot of fantasy, horror, sci-fi, and mysteries. I’m really into history and love writing stories anywhere I can (I carry a journal and pen with me everywhere). I love autumn and winter so much. I love collecting things. I’m OBSESSED with music. I will listen to anything as long as I can vibe to it (from classical to heavy metal). I also play a few instruments including the violin, piano, and guitar. I really love museums, art galleries, fashion, sewing, crochet, and gardens(!). I love nature and animals so much and could wander in a garden for hours just looking at flowers, trees, other plants, and bugs and animals, and nature! I also enjoy making my loved ones things that they can use practically in their day to day life. I’m quiet but observant so I am usually able to make things that are personal to that specific person but benefit them in some way.

thank u for your congrats and i’m so glad u like the celebration!! come, come, and we shall gaze into this crystal ball of mine 🔮

oh… the one i see… are he and his friend gay? no no, wait, false alarm. ahem, moving forward — i see king in the north, robb stark. robb stark would love your curves, and tease you relentlessly about the height difference. he’d purposefully putting things on higher shelves so you need him to come get them (i hate him). robb loves sarcasm, but makes a big effort not to use it around you so he doesn’t confuse you, and would explain any sarcasm/anythign you’re confused about. he’s sooo caring about your clumsiness, always patching you up and catching you whenever you trip (you don’t know how he does it, he’s just suave like that you suppose). and robb loves quality time with u!! you guys doing your own things (as you said), but also knows when & respects when you need alone time. and robb lives for physical touch, he’s such a cuddle bug too’!!! and the garden part awh. robb taking you to highgarden once the war is over so you guys can stroll the gardens for as long as you like, as his thank you to you for sticking beside him all that time <3

[flickersprout]

hello would you be willing to say your million opinions about the mystery twins?

WHY YES

I am unwell about these people thank you so much for asking /gen (long post incoming)

I'm a little more familiar with Cellbit's character than Bagi's, so probably have more headcanons about him. I am actively trying to get more unhinged about Bagi because she is so cool and everyone should tell me their Bagi headcanons

Bagi headcanons/opinions:

She should be transfem. as a treat. her being transfem lets me make the twins identical, and anything that makes it more obvious how related they are makes them funnier

Her being transfem also adds fun layers to her relationship with Tina, as Tina is a demon pretending to be human. All I'm saying is you could do some fun parallels and contrasts about presentation and the self

Also if you make her and Jaiden and Baghera all transfem, you get the fun fed-sisters-plus transfem solidarity that exists only in my head

She can only barely cook. She never learned as a kid and then got fucking frozen, and she's tried to learn as an adult but it's not going well

When she thinks about raising Empanada, she gets kinda caught between wanting to pass on the pacifist, live-and-let-live mentality that she pretends to have and the more defensive/aggressive ideas she actually has. She does like the idea of pacifism and doesn't want Empanada to grow up bitter, but... peace isn't what's kept her safe and alive

Empanada's first death resolved a lot of those conflicts. A kinder world isn't coming, so she has to raise a fighter

Her "pretending to be an ethical vegetarian" thing is hilarious to me. girl you aren't pretending to be a vegetarian you just are one. you can lie about your reasons but girl. you don't eat meat

Cellbit headcanons/opinions:

He can't cook even a little bit. Federation pet -> child soldier -> jail-> struggling adult? yeah he never fucking learned to cook

Relatedly I think he's a picky eater but has weird tastes. Like i think he eats instant microwave/just add water foods raw and likes it because he learned to eat it like that at some point, but can't stand a lot of "real food" because he just never got used to it (this is partly based on me lsjkhd)

He owns a butterfly knife and he's good with it. He picked it up as a hobby after Fuga when he was in therapy because he needed something to fill his time and it was a socially acceptable way to carry a knife. He can do all kinds of tricks now

Just pre-purgatory (and probably still now tbh) sometimes the butterfly knife suddenly reminds him too much of a real knife or triggers some kind of intrusive thought that scares him. His reaction to this is to just let go of the knife midair. He's very lucky no one's gotten hurt yet

He 100% remembers more of his childhood with Bagi than he admits. He pretends he doesn't because even acknowledging that he was a child once undermines his image of himself as a monster (upsetting, unhealthy self-image, sure, but one that's kept him safe. monsters aren't afraid of anything. monsters can't be hurt. children, though?)

As much as I understand and will read about autistic!Cellbit headcanons, I don't agree (i am autistic, for the record). He's actually really good with social cues, like scary good, and obviously has really strong theory of mind. Like I get where people are coming from but we need to defend an allistic guy's right to just be a fucking freak (/lh /nm)

I want to call Cellbit and Baghera "hunters" instead of "chainsaw killers." again I get where people are coming from. it's funny and I'll use it. however hunters would go so hard. same genre as codebreakers and bloodhounds. do you see my vision

[jrueships]

tag yourself as some of my favorite players except if you can tag yourself, you may need help . Ignore the pronouns lol

Jaboobi

doesn't know how to hold a proper conversation if it doesn't involve at least one special interest

picky eater

do NOT interrupt when in the middle of doing one out of the many favorite monotonous tasks, WILL kill you

still has to hold mommy's hand when nervous

kills people who call sports 'sportsball'

actually really nice when not pissed off 24/7

' i don't have anger issues and to show how i don't have anger issues, i am going to roll this Giant Boulder over a Small Village.'

adopts random things/people when he doesn't know what to do with his life

Gay Bear

Says eep

Finds the lack of an amygdala extremely attractive

Considered a vip at furcon

Voted best babysitter in hometown, should be a school teacher if the economic state of the world wasn't corrupt

Repeats jokes that fail until someone pity laughs, will frantically look around to find anyone who might find it funny

Unironically exclaims 'it's so preppy in here!!!'

Should wear a shirt that says 'warning, will leap into your arms when frightened and WILL expect the catch to be bridal style on the whim'

Nba youngboy

I love that you adore Makoto! (At that's how i see it for the way you write him, i like it!!) Do you have any headcanons about him? Who do you like and don't like to shipping him with? What don't you like about "fanon" Makoto? (Wow… It's been a lot of questions, sorry haha)

No problem! Oh boy, I hope I can express this coherently. Let's see...

I'm honestly pretty into a lot of interpretations and characterizations for Makoto, lol.

I often say that the main dichotomy I have for characters I like is whether they're the kind of character I like to throw yanderes at or the kind of character I like to characterize in a yandere light. (There's overlap, but usually those in the latter group aren't in the former group. I don't, for example, tend to find it especially compelling or interesting for characters to be yandere for Nagito or Izuru. It can be; I'm just not immediately drawn that way. But clearly, I love making folks yandere for Makoto.)

That said, I think there's another dichotomy in play, which is: Characters I love in a cheese pizza way and characters I love in a soul food way.

Cheese pizza: If it has all the basic ingredients, I'll probably like it. If it is cheese, tomato sauce, and bread, I'll probably like it. If I don't like it, they probably didn't give me a reasonable proportion of tomato sauce.

Soul food: I have such specific expectations and turnoffs that I pretty much never get it from a restaurant. I will only eat it from people I know and trust.

Makoto is cheese pizza for me. I don't think I've ever been mad about how someone wrote him. I've been bewildered a few times, but I'm usually game to see where stuff goes. (Angie is a soul food character, in that I am so picky with her, lol.)

The main characterization stuff people tend to disagree on are:

Is he a pushover? Where one extreme is straight-up "can't stand his ground socially" and the other extreme is "Actually, he's everyone's no-nonsense dad." I can enjoy both, depending on how they're approached. I place him more in the zone of, "He stands his ground, but his standards for when and how he has to do that are bizarre to most people." He's flexible. I find it important to have the protagonists feel distinct from each other, so if I feel like he's dipping into Hajime territory or Shuichi territory or Kaede territory or even Komaru territory, that's when I feel it's important to get creative.

Is he naive? Honestly, I feel like that one can just be left to Rule of Funny. He's naive when it's inconvenient and funny, and he's savvy when it's inconvenient and funny. I will say there's a way that this question can devolve into just making him unintelligent or socially inept, which is demonstrably untrue, so I guess anything before that point is fair game. He does have a very let's-say-"modest" self-image, and he does get canonically played by Sayaka. I would say the same aspect of him that allowed him to get played by Sayaka is also the part of him that, when showed the photo of the whole class together, went to ask around to see if anyone could explain it instead of jumping to conclusions that everyone else was the mastermind (like the others did). It's an important part of him. But he's not stupid.

Is he the literal Jesus/Aslan/Messiah figure of the story? I would say textually not really, but I do like to read fics where he is. It's a guilty pleasure and a fun dynamic to play with. I definitely try to keep him A Person in my fics, but the alternative is kinda fun. Sometimes I want him to be just a guy doing his best, and sometimes I do like him to be an almost unearthly Big Good.

What about his temper? Some people just kind of don't deal with that side of him (which, fair enough; it doesn't come out too often, anyway) and some people like him aggro. I think I sprinkle the salt sparingly. I do like the idea that his anger is as much a part of his hope as his kindness.

Would he kill someone? I'll just leave this here. TL;DR, I find the idea of him having major hangups over this more interesting than a straightforward yes or no.

And from there it's often a matter of his personal morality, ethics, ideology, etc. I'm a bit pickier about that stuff, but I don't think I've seen anyone take him in a direction I actually found immoral, so it hasn't come up.

(Except, I guess, Mastermind AUs and the like, but those are deliberately out of character, so it's fine.)

As for shipping, I don't think I'm against any ships for him, but I do definitely find some less interesting than others.

Obviously, I ship Komaegi, Kamuegi, Hinaegi, Naegami, Naegiri, and the polyship versions of all of those.

I ship him with Sayaka, Junko, Mukuro and all of the Chishimondo polycule.

I ship (or can ship) him with pretty much everyone in his class.

That said, I think he and Celeste are more interesting as friends. I see him having a crush on Sakura more than the other way around. I like the idea of him and Hina having a physical relationship post-killing-game, but I like the idea of that being entirely platonic. (She's blowing off steam. I like the survivors just having very few boundaries with each other. Let them wander into each other's rooms and stuff!) I just kind of don't know how to approach a ship with him and Hifumi.

I think Chiaki is the only SDR2 girl who I've shipped with him romantically. (The boys are another story. Besides the obvious Hajime and Nagito, I've dabbled in Naezuryu, I think Impostor has potential, and I do like the idea of there being strange sexual tension between him and Teruteru.) Oh, and I like the idea of some subset of the world's population shipping him with Sonia.

I don't particularly ship him with any V3 characters except Shuichi and Kokichi, but that comes with the major asterisk that is, if I spend long enough developing the idea, I can probably start to ship it. I at least half-ship him with Kaede from just one post thinking about it.

And I don't find any Makoto ships (that I can think of) more or even equally compelling when placed in an AU where he's the mastermind. I just don't personally find Mastermind Makoto all that interesting to ship. It just kind of becomes a Junko ship at that point, and Junko ships can be fun, but I can't think of a single Junko ship that I don't like more with someone else. (Junko/Mikan? For toxicity, I'd rather put Mikan with Hiyoko, and for fluff I'd rather put Mikan with Akane.)

That said, if Mastermind Makoto is made different enough from Junko, the ships could be interesting for him, too.

hehe hii ty for the asks i'm so gonna type too elaborate answers to these 😝🙏😘

5. red. or green. (or black.)

6. i listen to all kind of bullshit, depends on my mood. i enjoy house/club music as background music. David Bowie was my top artist in 2022 & 2023 and i like 60s-70s-80s pop & rock. indie is nice! but i also like cunty shit like ayesha erotica or madonna or drag queen music (rupaul was in my top artists of 2024 and i AM ashamed). OH and recently a lot of berlin rave-pop (Ski Aggu, Ikkimel, Filow, Tiefbasskommando...)

12. cats!!!

20. this is HARD! i think i come across more confident and mean than i am, so like, the extent of my self-consciousness. and for a more fun answer: my family is from eastern (ex-sowjet) germany and the family history is just downright crazy.

27. My Year of Rest and Relaxation is really good! And Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo by Christiane F. (english: Zoo Station) is a german cult classic i've been obsessed with for years, it's got a famous 80s movie featuring Bowie. But it's VERY dark.

30. Bones and All. Harry Potter 3. The King (2019). Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel (aka czech-german cinderella, it's a classic and extremely cunty & queer coded). Princess Mononoke. (there are other films i love but these are like my comfort films)

34. too many to chose from ong. um. i once choked on a chewig gum in front of like 40 really cool queer kids i looked up to and it was so bad i fell to the floor and almost fucking died on that gum.. also like.. drunk public making out at parties with questionable people. completely unprompted mental breakdown at a party, lying on the floor sobbing for no reason. i dated a guy i didn't like but who liked me and tried to make it work but it didn't and in the end he turned out gay lmao. there's more but my brain locked it away rn.

44. i'm not picky i think but boring so probably like spaghetti carbonara or smth. ice cream. lahmacun

ask game

[butchreg]

hi! so, i really don’t want to sound mean or passive aggressive or anything like that, but i had this little problem. basically, when i sent in some hcs my device was being very glitchy and i wasn’t sure it got sent through originally. and i didn’t want to rush you or anything like that if you did happen to get it, i’ve just been a little unsure if it fully went through. if it did, please don’t respond to this! and especially, DO NOT RUSH! take your time please, this is just me worrying and spiraling if my crappy phone allowed me to send this through 😭

i feel lee is always worried. like he tries to pretend he isn’t, he doesn’t care, he’s just a nonchalant older brother of sorts, and then all of a sudden maren accidentally scratches herself and dad mode is activated. or just the second he sees even a quiver of the lip, or any form of tears, that cool guy persona is gone and he’s desperate to make her feel better

maren can’t sit still, like at all. she is always tapping something, or flapping her hand a little, or swinging her legs. nothing too disruptive, she’s just a lil jittery

shes not the most cuddly baby in the whole wide world, but when they’re taking a particularly long truck drive, she’ll try to curl up on top of him. and then he’ll consider pulling over to get her back in her seat and buckle her in, and give her some sort of toy to keep her busy or even his phone if we’re talking in a modern world au, but her heads in his lap and she’s about to fall asleep, so he’ll let it slide for now (he’ll forget about it until it happens again)

also kayla love love LOVES maren, so much. she’s always yelling at lee to come back to kentucky so she can see her favorite sister in law and her favorite baby at the same time

a picky eater. she can eat other things, but she has specific comfort foods that she will eat whenever she’s little. normally cheerios, strawberries, milk, yogurt, and pancakes. lee can normally bribe cucumbers and baby carrots out of her, but it has to be with ranch

like i’ve said, a bit of a messy eater over here, so bottles or sippies are a must

maren’s actually a very cheerful little. she will sometimes be a little pouty, but nothing more than that

marens not very fussy, but sometimes she has bad days. normally it’s just days where nothing feels right, the texture on her clothes are off, and her skin just doesn’t feel like it fits over her bones (this is normally her way of interpreting the need to feed in her little space, lee knows this but will try his best to make her feel better without resorting to that)

lee tries his best to help her maintain her pretty curls. he knows about curl maintenance for the most part, and has learned from maren about what he doesn’t know as much

so that’s why maren loves bath time, it’s so relaxing whenever she feels lee softly massaging the soap into her head while she quietly plays with her toys, an occasional kiss on her cheek or head

maren hates anything that reminds her of her father. older her sort of understands why he left, little her doesn’t. she thinks he just packed up and went off one day because he just didn’t like her anymore. some of the only times she isn’t nonverbal is when she’s crying to lee and asking why her dad doesn’t like her anymore. breaks his heart every time, but he’s always able to calm her down with kisses and assurances that wasn’t the reason at all

maren just has plant and nature themed toys. her favorite is froggy, obviously, but her daisy rattle is a close second. whenever she’s in the car and actually buckled in, lee always gives her that rattle to stay occupied

okay done for now -🤍
