#i hc that David King feels the same way

[sharkssharpteeth]

Can I please get some nsfw HCs for Caesar from Fallout New Vegas? It's near impossible to find any content for him 😭😭😭

Of course! I was delighted to do the research and such for this, but please heed the warnings, it’s a bit of a rough one 💀

⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ Caesar NSFW Headcanons ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆

“We have cities of our own, but nothing compared to Vegas. Finally, my Legion will have its Rome.”

Content Warnings: Explicit Sexual Content, Mentions Of Dub/Non-Con, Sexism, Slavery, Homophobia, Murder

A/N: So, this is mostly based on his mannerisms as an individual because he decided to retcon some parts of Ancient Roman history that were actually pretty major, such as no homosexuality (found in his Wikipedia article), but I also did some looking into some things during that time period that would have relevance.

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

🏛️ Sexuality - He is completely and unequivocally against homosexuality, to the point that it is punishable by death within the Legion. As such, he solely has sex with females, even though he sees them as being on the same level as slaves.

🏛️ Threesome? - No, polygamy is treated in the same way that homosexuality is within the organization - only excluding the instances where it pleases him. Even with this exception, he doesn’t enjoy having multiple partners at once as it has gotten awkward in the past and causes more issues than pleasure.

🏛️ 24/7 - There is at least one of his chosen, a concubines, who is at his beck and call. While he doesn’t experience arousal as much now and finds it harder to get and maintain an erection (as a result of the tumor), he still will call upon one of his women to visit him in his bed chamber on occasion to keep his cock warm in her mouth.

🏛️ Playing Hard To Get? - He’s a narcissist dictator, so unless his partner has proven to be a willing participant, he isn’t keen on them resisting. He would rather them be pliable beneath him and welcome his use, though sometimes, a resisting partner only serves to rile him up further. If his partner resists on a day where he isn’t feeling merciful, they will be handed off to his Legate to deal with as he sees fit. Due to the Roman structure of his empire, women will not be thrown into the colosseum and instead are generally raped by the Legate and/or taken out before the others and publicly executed.

🏛️ Selfish Lover - When he does have intercourse with another person, it’s all about his pleasure. Once he gets what he wants out of it, his partner is sent away to clean up and get back to work

🏛️ Roman King David - Since Rome was strictly monogamous (unless you were an elite), he will send lower ranking soldiers out into the field knowing they won’t make it back if he finds their wife to be attractive.

🏛️ Prude - He hates nudity unless it’s that of the women he has claimed as his concubines. It is shamed to be bare in public and punishable by the colosseum or execution depending on who is making the offense.

🏛️ “Standards” - He refuses to have sex with anyone who is a slave and is only interested in sharing such intimacy with women who are citizens of the Legion, along with that, they must be in their twenties at the oldest.

🏛️ Humiliation - He loves humiliating his partners and exercising his power and dominance over them. A few of the things he will make his partners endure are animal play (being treated like an animal and being forced to act as such), making them endure him ejaculating, spitting, or urinating on them (generally on their face, but sometimes their chest), verbal abuse (making fun of their appearances and calling them degrading names), making them ask for permission to cum and generally denying them the privilege all together, disciplining them (including spanking, flogging, restraining them, etc.), objectification (treating them like they’re nothing more than an object for his pleasure), and forcing them to wash his feet (generally he has female slaves wash his feet, but this acts as a punishment for insubordinate concubines who haven’t yet made a major offense)

🏛️ Pain Play - As mentioned above, he enjoys spanking and flogging his partners, but he generally aims for more bony parts of the body when doing it for punishment since it will hurt more and leave more intense impressions in their skin. He also enjoys pulling his partner’s hair and roughing them up. In the past, he would regularly pin his partners down by exerting enough pressure on their shoulders to drive their fronts into the mattress and restrict airflow due to the pressure against their ribs. That doesn’t occur nearly as much now, but it’s a nice way to break the new girls in.

🏛️ Body Worship - He’s obviously not going to worship his partners due to how inferior they are to him and them being nothing more than a vessel for his pleasure and amusement, but he enjoys having his own body worshiped like the god he is. It earns his girls extra brownie points when they put the effort into it, but only when he’s in the mood to allow them the time to do so.

🏛️ Breeding Kink - Even though he’s infertile, he still sometimes gets the idea in head to fill his partner up with his cum and get them pregnant with his heirs. When he isn’t in this mindset, it’s still nice to see his seed dripping out of his partner after he’s finished with them.

🏛️ Choking - He enjoys choking his partners, but not in the way you may initially think. While he does derive pleasure from wrapping his hands around one’s throat and squeezing, he usually doesn’t stop until they stop twitching if it gets to that point. Instead, he enjoys it when his partners gag and choke on his cock

🏛️ Riding - Why should he put effort into getting his pleasure? He erected the Legion with his own two hands, and given his physical state now, it’s better for everyone when his partner rides him. They get more pleasure than he’d be willing to give them and he gets to kick back and relax while someone else does all the work.

🏛️ Voyeurism - Given his thoughts and feelings on women and his infertility, he would much rather watch two women have sex and pleasure himself to the sight. Since women are unable to penetrate one another and aren’t as high on the food chain as men, this is the only homosexuality that is exempted, though it’s only allowed when he’s watching.

🏛️ Aftercare - He cares about his chosen concubines’ well-being, but only to a certain degree. He would never help them clean up himself, but he entrusts their care to other female citizens. They are to be cleaned, clothed, fed, watered, and allowed to rest before returning to their other duties.

Poly!Cruella De Vil and James Nolan/Prince James x Reader || Headcanons

Plot: These two together totally skeeve me out but I just find them as a concept so amusing!! And I'm glad they found eachother XD So, poly relationship HC's are a must.

Warnings: These two are complete freaks. So there are nsfw themes throughout. Kinks include heavy Mommy Kink, James is her bestubbled 'Golden Boy', Pet Play mentions, domestic kinkiness (the way you all act is not just sexual at this point, it's just your dynamic), etc. Also obnoxiously cutesy nicknames like 'Jamesy-poo' XDD That's definitely a warning! And feelings, which sneak up on you (: By the time you realise, its too late XD

This was a blast XD

<3 <3 <3

Alright so Cruella is definitely!! in total control here. She's the Boss. The Dom. The Asmodeus to yours' and James' Fizz, to you Helluva Boss fans.

The Mommy of your little 'family', basically.

Then James is her 'Golden Boy'/naughty boy, and you are their sweet, sweet pet. So like, James is a little bit higher up in the procession of power then you, but not by much.

Often its her directing the two of you equally, but occasionally she'll ask James what he thinks they should do with you, or leave you two to 'play on your own'- and she makes it clear that Jamesy-Wamesy is in charge, while she's away.

"Sweetheart stay with darling Jamesey-poo, mommy has some work to do." - Cruella, whenever she has to go do some Evilness.

When you're cold its really a toss-up; Cruella may actually give you some furs to wear (This version of her really likes the idea of branding you~ ) or you might get James' jacket. His prince jacket! Ahh <3

Cruella may have you dressing like James eventually. She thinks its cute if her two playthings have a uniform.

If you'll remember, James left his old flame Jack to die at the top of the beanstalk, totally heartless- but let me tell you, Cruella has that man so whipped he wouldn't even think about doing that to her unless there was a HUGE pay out. You, he may consider abandoning. But one nasty look from her and he'll save your sweet ass like the prince he was groomed to be. He does love you (As much as he and Cruella can love at least), its just that (In the words of his Wiki Page) he's inherited 'King Georges lack of empathy and ruthless personality'.

You and Cruella watching James fight with David-

You: Oh god, which one's James?? Cruella: The ruggedly handsome one. You: I- which one!? Who's winning?? Oh, ow! Who just got punched in the jaw?? Who's the one bleeding? Cruella: Oh, you tell me! They look exactly the same, darling! You: *deadpanned at her*

You and James have an odd relationship where you kinda argue a lot, when you're not being their obedient 'pet'. You're very snarky with each other and it makes Mommy Cruella roll her eyes- but she loves it. She loves being the 'favourite'.

Cruella, to David: Jimmy has always resented you for being the one that those horrible parents of yours kept... You: ... ehhh, I don't think he's that deep actually. I think he's just sore he had the best sword lessons in the enchanted forest and still got killed by a Behemoth. Cruella: Darling- You: ... and also David got a castle. And people like him. and I don't know how identical they are under the clothes but I bet his dick is bigger, too, honestly. Cruella: 🙄 Darling... You: aM I wRoNg???? Cruella: *Sigh, turning back to David who's very understandably uncomfortable* My darlings are such a pain sometimes... anyway Sheriff Stubbles, where were we?

... You and James fight over Cruella often. Who gets to make her drinks, who gets to kiss her first, who gets to go down on her (You've been known to actually trip that asshole off the bed before and he has dragged you to the end of the bed and tied you to the bedpost before. All the while Cruella just sits there all pleased with herself~~ Maybe acting annoyed a little, but acting badly XD), etc.

That doesn't mean you two aren't very fond of each other, though. Its mostly fun, and foreplay (;

Cruella and James are both allowed to have 'fun' with other people (Whether that be actually going out and sleeping with others or just that- 'fun'. Like when Cruella pretended she though David was James and when James pretended to be David to kiss Snow), but let me be clear- you are not.

Cruella: Darling you're like our faithful Rottweiler, aren't you?? You would never hurt us like that. You could never be pleased by anyone else but us. Hm?

James: Yeah, and no one else would put up with you, either *eyeroll*

They don't actually do it very often though, mess around with others. They're both quite content with this relationship right here! Not that either of them would admit it.

<3 <3 <3

dex dizznee headcanons

★ mars thoughts — alternate title is dex (marlees version) <3

★ warnings — theres like. a mention of the maze runner so spoilers for the death cure (book/movie 3)!!

★ m. list || kotlc m.list || navigation

okay so

he is actually the funniest and most sarcastic person ever

he can’t go five minutes without making fun of something or someone (affectionately) or saying something that makes the whole room burst out laughing

HE IS DATING KEEFE!! KEEFEX IS REAL

actually no scratch that he’s simultaneously dating both jensi and keefe it’s polyamory <3

also btw he has a super great music taste (the banner for these hcs <3)

like mainly he listens to old songs sophie showed him, mainly sad ones

his favourite artists are frank sinatra, brenda lee, nat king cole, elvis presley, elton john, ABBA, david bowie, joan jett, TLC, october country, madonna, weezer….

but he also likes some newer artists!! like taylor swift, lana del rey, clairo, mac demarco and stuff like that :))

he shamelessly lovingly bullies people for this music tastes, telling them “your homework is to listen to some real music. get inspired.” (THE BANNER) and hands them a list of artists he listens to that he basically just carries around for the purpose of that

btw he’s the kotlc equivalent of irish. i dare you to tell me otherwise.

he gets it from keslers side of the family, and he owns a kilt but will never ever EVER wear it because according to him “it’s a disgrace to humanity”

his accent always makes people laugh, like because all of his friends have either no accent or different accents it doesn’t really come out with them, but sometimes it’ll poke through and people will laugh

or they’ll ask him to read some insane sentence in his accent and he’ll do it because he loves it when people laugh cause he did/said something funny

also this guy is PETTY and JEALOUS and has slight ANGER ISSUES that he picked up from fitz

real quick: separate hc that dex picks up stuff from his friends without realizing it

he once went and rewrote a whole essay just to prove a point to fitz

and he once filled keefes shoes with rice because he talked to sophie for 6 minutes and dex for 3

and he once got pissed than his shoes were muddier than usual

i love flawed dex

k moving on

remember when i said he’s always making fun of people affectionately?? yeah i have more to add about that

like he’s still very funny and known for his loving bullying, but he knows exactly what and what not to say and when or when not to say it

he genuinely cares about the people around him, and when they need to. uh. idk talk to someone?? he’s there and knows exactly what to say and waits for an opportunity to say something mean, but in a way that it’s clearly a joke and will cheer the person up a bit

now, if he made the person upset, he immediately feels terrible and tries to make it right cause he’s able to admit when he made a mistake

if someone else made that person upset, they better pray he never finds their ass because they will be in tears by the time he’s done making fun of them

he’s rlly good at pinpointing who likes who, who doesn’t like who, and can also easily tell who likes him and he considers this his superpower

one time he gripped biana on the shoulders and said “biana. you like sophie.” and then did the same to sophie later

also this mf is BLIND. he refuses to wear glasses because he doesn’t like the way he looks with them

but he wears contacts

and he will never tell anyone this.

he can’t cook for shit, but he CAN bake!! because it has fractions and he’s good at math

he kinda just makes cupcakes and brownies because their keefes and jensi’s favourites

he has been known to blast the mamma mia soundtrack and/or evermore at 2am

his favourites are dorothea and SOS

oh btw i know if said the dizznees have hooked noses before, and i stand by it.

doesn’t matter what you say, the dizznees with the exclusion of kesler and inclusion of edaline, have hooked noses

and he is not! insecure about it! he likes his nose because according to him, he can, “smell everyone’s bullshit from a mile away”

he doesn’t read a lot, but when he does it’s hard to get him to stop

most of them are human books sophie has on her bedside table

he likes murder mysteries and dystopian novels <33

specifically the maze runner and a good girls guide to murder

he sent sophie a 8 page long double sided paragraph about how angry he was when (MAZE RUNNER SPOILERS) newt died

and another one that was even longer about how much he loves ravi singh

his room is almost always messy

he doesnt have the patience (or enough ability to care enough) to clean it

tbh dex seems like one of them mfs who kisses peoples cheeks as a greeting/goodbye.

like he’ll lean in and just mwah <3 and then he says bye/hi like it’s nothing

he’s very big on platonic kisses

ALSO HES SUPER CLOSE WITH HIS MOM

can be classified as a mommas boy

if dex knows something, juline knows it too and cue the judgemental stares

oh btw he’s either 5’5 at the tallest or 5’9 at the shortest

all the dizzneses are just rlly fuckin tall. not including kesler. tall juline is love tall juline is life.

in my head, and because shannon canonically said at one point that dex was tall, and he’s tall in the official art, he’s a little shorter than fitz

but like only by a little

fitz is 5’11 and 1 cm

dex is 5’10 and 3 cms

yes fitz holds a ruler over his head when they argue

he also adores flowers

sometimes he’ll grab one of his siblings or parents or maybe even one of his friends and they just go on a walk somewhere he can collect a shit ton of flowers

he makes bouquets for his friends and says something mean as he hands it to them

idc what you say he has curly hair he gets from kesler

one time he fucked up while he was messing with something and it had purple streaks for a week

he actually didn’t look that bad but he never lets anyone bring that week up

i always pictured him with light blue eyes but. listen imagine him with dark eyes

when he gets excited you can see them light up and become all sparkly and glittery

that works for both light and dark eyes but shhhh

a huge lover of the 60s-70s era

mainly the early 70s

oh and he sleeps with 8 million stuffed animals thanks for coming to my ted talk

[rainbowdelicsunshine]

Whatever aU first comes to mind upon reading this for the 5 hcs game! :DD

As you probably predicted, I'm choosing to talk about my OceanBerry AU (aka my Chucky AU/Retelling of the Chucky TL)!

1. You remember the three human friends that Chucky is buddies with that I've talked about in this post long ago?

Well I FINALLY have found some live action faceclaims for them!! (Please don't take the IRL ages of these actors into account since I only need them to demonstrate appearance)

Here they are!

(Left to Right)

Don Rivers: Bruce Willis (as David Dunn in Glass)

Zach Galifianakis: Jerry Hickens (as Ethan Chase in Due Date) (and w only a bushy mustache)

Blake Anderson: Bob Berkeley (as Blake in Workaholics)

2. I have also found live action faceclaims for Glen's boyfriend Kahuna and Glenda's girlfriend Natalie (OCs of mine) as well!

And same as the first time, real ages of the actors does not factor in choosing them as a faceclaim, only appearance is!

(Left to Right)

Kahuna Mahelona: Jason Scott Lee (as Mowgli in Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book (1994) (add on hair/bangs that covers his eyes + slightly more muscular)

Natalie Winchester: Kim Director (as Kim Diamond in Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2) (have hair dye at the ends of her hair instead of being streaks in her hair)

3. Chucky and Eddie are in the midst of attempting to reconcile and reestablish their adoptive brotherhood (since before the Big Incident in 1988, Chucky and Eddie regarded each other as brothers)

They still have a LOT of sour feelings on each other's ends for their own respective reasons (Chucky for being abandoned when he needed his little brother the most and Eddie for literally being blown tf up)

Eddie is still much more resentful than Chucky since Chucky started to feel more thankful towards Eddie as time went on with having his family, Eddie tends to be a lot more snappier and grumpier around Chucky but is still able to tolerate him and even sometimes have a good bonding moment like they used to

Chucky on the other hand just acts like how an asshole big brother would to their little brother, just messing with them in stupid ways like how they used to do as kids/young adults

4. If anyone ever wanted to know what John/Dr. Death does in his free time/where he lives in the Ray house, he basically just keeps to himself in the attic of the house studying and practicing his magic and spirituality

He does come down to other parts of the house on occasion and regularly interacts with the Rays (but talks to and hangs out with Eddie the most), since he acts as the family's advisor/guide the kids and Chucky tend to go to him in the attic a lot since he tends to have knowledge they need

The state of Chucky and John's friendship is still... Icy but is much better than it was before!

I also HC that they were childhood friends as well, thus that being how Chucky found him to teach him Magic and Soul Bending/Shifting (what I'm calling the spell/s where Chucky would transfer souls and such) and Soulmancy (what I'm replacing the Voodoo with cuz yall know why)

If you are unfamiliar with John Bishop and his role in OceanBerry, here is this post!

His Appearance/Info

5. The Rays do, in fact, have a dog that acts as a family companion and guard dog that keeps the house and the kids safe (in Chucky's words) that they all got as a puppy when the youngest (my Chiffany fankid Buddy) was around 9 years old

The dog is a 4 year old medium sized but very muscular German Shepherd/Pitbull Mix that's dubly named King Ghidorah, very vicious, strong and protective of his property and family when need be, but is most of the time a giant sweetheart that likes to think he's a lapdog

Fun fact: King Ghidorah was given to The Rays by Chucky's friend Jerry when he had found the pup in a box of "free puppies" that was stationed in front of the Walmart that's in Hackensack and decided that a puppy from that box would've made a GREAT birthday gift for Buddy

Ofc, since Buddy was a 9 year old, he LOVED it! King Ghidorah is now closest/bonds the most with Buddy, Chucky, and June/Junior all in that order (though Ghidorah loves EVERYONE)!

-----------------------------------------------------

HOLY SHIT THIS TOOK FOREVER MY GOD!!!!!!

I am soso sorry that this took SO LONG for me to post this, it took a lotta time to come up with all this info for you, let alone type it all out lol!

I hope that the wait was well worth it and that you let me in on your feedback on this my dear lovely friend!

I hope that you enjoy reading all this and have a fantastic evening!!

[konnorhasapen]

I doubt anyone is interested, but idc so here-

Headcanons I have for my Darlin' oc Kenneth Maria Rose Mackery :)

[gendered listener ahead | he/him]

Kenny owns 4 motorcycles and is also one of those people who names his bikes, but feels a little embarrassed that he does. The only people who know his bikes all have names are Sam, Asher, Baabe, and Angel.

The first bike was one he fixed. It was a pretty simple dirt bike that he built back from shambles and it ran like a rancid pre-chewed Burger King hamburger that was spat out on an Arizona sidewalk and set on fire. He decided to name it 'David' out of spite. (He hasn't given it away to a scrapper because even though it's a shitshow that nearly got him killed first time he tested it, it was still his first shot at sort of making something.)

His next bike was bought and was an '82 Harley FXB Sturgis he named 'Missy'.

Then a Cafe Racer he named 'Betty'

The fourth, final, and honestly his favorite given that it's the one he rides way more often than the others, was a bike he made himself. Undecided between an American Bobber and a Cruiser, he chose to combine certain components of both models and created a Frankenstein he named 'Rodney'.

Kenny was/is a street racer (and was/is in a crew)

(First of all, I know it's Darlin's parents back up in WA, but I'm going to kindly ignore that piece of information and stick with my hc of it being Darlin's aunt and uncle because I've grown far too attached to Chrita and Miles Shern, okay?? Just let me have this- let me keep them :(

With that outta the way- Kenny picked up street racing when he went back to Washington to stay with Miles and Chrita. Since he didn't drive nor own a car of his own, he wound up stealing borrowing his uncle's old Firebird (that Miles himself used to race with) and taking it down to a meet-up.

Couple weeks into racing, he was approached by two other racers, Cassandra Deets—a Freelancer—and Kevin Grant, who invited him to a party with them and some friends. It was there he met Bryan, Manny, Ian, Jackie and Scott, Garrett, and Dakota Keerey. The party included a sort of "initiation" for Kenny to join their crew called Dominus, and he passed. They all became very good friends and yes, these are the same people from the Knifecup story. (Knifecup idea came post Dominus idea.) A fairly long while after Kenny joined Dominus, Miles found out about the Firebird and majorly scolded him for driving it because it's so discreetly busted that it's become a deathtrap. Kenny told him it was just until he could afford his own car. Getting an idea, he and Chrita decided to get one for him as a birthday present.

Yes, Kenny's first car was a Dodge Demon—that he still owns—and I could not give a rat's ass that it may give him a case of Special Snowflake Syndrome, it's sick as hell and I'm keeping it.

I'm making this a part one bc this is already long af💀

[themiserablesmilingkiller]

What is the one thing people assume about you that you wish was true?

Most people think the Trapper is mentally slow because of his large size and lack of speaking. He wishes this was true. He really wishes he was not quick-witted or clever because life seems so much happier for simpler people (just look at the Demogorgon or any of the Legion); and because of his inability to really speak. Sometimes he has things he wants to say, but physically cannot and it's very frustrating.

[red-doll-face]

I just found your blog and I LOVE IT.

If I might ask: What’s your saddest dbd headcanons (killers or survivors)

Call me crazy, but I must know! ❤️

Ohh this one was a good one but it hurt me so badddd, ahhh. I’m glad to share , I have some bad dbd brain rot lmaooo I didn’t do every character so I hope these are ok 🥺 these are a bit long too

Sad Dead by Daylight Hcs

Claudette Morel:

Claudette is one of the criers. Probably cries while getting mori’d and can't help the tears during the really bad matches. Her pain tolerance isn’t very high, hence the willingness to waste time healing herself if it means she can stop being in so much pain.

Meg Thomas:

Spends time alone thinking about her past life. Her mother is a subject that makes her really frustrated. People mentioning their moms makes her a little standoffish. Wishes she had a chance to say goodbye in some way.

Ace Visconti:

Ace doesn't have much family to even miss him. He wonders if they noticed he’s gone or hasn’t come back. Maybe they think he hit big bucks and left them behind. Ace is stuck really. Even if he were to go back, he’d be dead or working off his debt.

Feng Min:

Gets super mad when she loses, it makes her so angry that she doesn’t control the trials. She blames other people for her losses but actually is very critical of herself. Casts the blame on others so she doesn't have to face her own mistakes.

David King:

All of his perks are about putting his ass on the line for his teammates yet everyone seems to think he’s selfish and a dumb brute. David doesn't know what to do to be more approachable; genuinely wants to be seen as a friend.

Laurie Strode:

Laurie never got the chance to mourn her friends. She thought she won. Finding out she’ll never truly escape Michael or be able to forget him makes her so mad. When she gets Michael in trials she makes sure the glass in her pocket is extra jagged and serrated.

Jane Romero:

Jane only wanted recognition and acknowledgement. Everything she's worked so hard for feels like a waste for her now. She should have spent more time on herself or with her father. Jane feels like she has no purpose anymore besides running and screaming for the enjoyment of the entity.

Yui Kimura:

Yui can’t stand the Clown or the Stealth Killers. Reminds her of bad memories. When she loses against killers like ghostface, she is especially angry.Her fighting spirit can’t help her actually get back at them.

Zarina Kassir:

Spent so much time fighting inequality only to spend the rest of her life where the odds are never in favor of the survivors. Where the oppressed are destined to lose. Each one of the people is subjugated, both killer and survivor and there's nothing she can do to free them.

Cheryl Mason:

She's been through literal hell and back just to end up in a weird recurring nightmare. At least Silent Hill had an escape. She's killed a god and somehow someone her size with a boxcutter can kill her? Huh.

Élodie Rakoto:

Feels guilty over the loss of her parents and feels extremely disillusioned by this realm. It's so much more boring than she thought it would be. All of her searching and traveling was not worth this shithole.

Steve Harrington:

Steve, though 18, is very much still a kid. Steve is naive about certain things and his optimism gets chipped away at a lot. Wasn’t too enthusiastic at having to care or look after Dustin and his friends but misses having people to protect.

Jeff Johannson:

Someone who definitely ends up taking hooks for people and ends up dying. Has a reputation among the killers as a survivor who is easy to leverage during the endgame because he will try for that save.

Kate Denson:

Feels very lucky to even have her guitar. The other survivors didn't get to bring many things with them. Makes her feel a little bad when she Often feels too worn out and exhausted by the trials to play it.

Quentin Smith:

Unfortunately stuck in pseudo-hell with his abuser. Gets really anxious against Freddy. Leans on his fellow survivors. Will sometimes accidentally bring Freddy to others in an attempt to get Freddy the hell away for him.

Evan ‘The Trapper’ Macmillan:

Actually has tried on numerous occasions to remove the metal rods and shrapnel embedded in his skin. It hurts like hell and just when he thinks he’s got it, he loses grip. These attempts never work.

Philip ‘The Wraith’ Ojomo:

When he’s alone, Philip will try and talk to himself. His vocal cords are warped, his voice a scratchy growl and garbled gurgle. He remembers what he used to sound like but he tries talking less and less.

Max ‘The Hillbilly’ Thompson Jr.:

Besides being named after someone who locked him away for most of his life? Max has to rest a lot between trials. The constant movement puts strain on him and causes him dull pain. His back causes him a lot of grief. The Entity is barely merciful.

Michael ‘The Shape’ Myers:

Meant to be forgotten by everyone who ever knew of him and he knows it. Loomis, after deciding that Michael couldn't be ‘fixed’ just hoped that the system would swallow him. If it weren't for the entity, Michael knows he'd either be dead or caught and back with Loomis.

Bubba ‘The Cannibal’ Sawyer:

Used to be one of the nicer killers to go against and might have been sweet to certain survivors who deserved kindness. But the Entity punished him for it. Bubba isn't very nice anymore. Probably a little meaner to avoid being in trouble again.

Amanda ‘The Pig’ Young:

Another one down to give second chances, much like the second chance she saw in John Kramer. Doesn’t do this a lot however, therefore escaping the ire of the Entity. She’s spent a lifetime hurting others emotionally and physically. Now, she’ll spend an eternity.

Rin ‘The Spirit’ Yamaoka:

The pain and anguish is so heavy but time is no cure in a place where time is nonexistent. No happiness to replace her rage. Especially in a place where her anger is a weapon for a greater power. Also has tried to pull the glass out of her skin and press her limbs back together. Can’t stand to see herself in the mirror.

Adiris ‘The Plague’:

Her body is always on the precipice of falling apart. Her skin rots; her flesh aches and feels like it will tear away at any moment. She is immortalized yet so close to death. Her body hurts so much but she has a purpose to serve. (makes me even sadder bc jannneeeee my mainnnnn😔)

Kazan ‘The Oni’ Yamaoka:

Misses his son. Never got to see him grow up, considering he;s already met his descendant. Proud from a distance because that's all he can be. The beginning of something so angry that it passes down his family line.

Caleb ‘The Deathslinger’ Quinn

During his life, was under the control of people who made him work for their gain who used him. The Entity emphasizes the killers as a position of power but Caleb does much of the same here. Works and works. Never for himself.

Pyramid Head ‘The Executioner’:

His existence has always included pain. He’s not quite sure what it’s like without it. He’s made several efforts to take the pyramid off. It pulls painfully at his neck. Makes awful groaning noises and roars.

Ji-Woon ‘The Trickster’ Hak:

Has never been much more than entertainment for other people since he was a child. Never expected to be much more. To the point that now, if he doesn't feel impressive in some way, he feels incomplete. The entity is his way to really indulge his ‘true artistry’.

Yun-Jin Lee:

A bit selfish when it comes to surviving. A few people around the campfire dont like her for that reason. Some of the meaner people will even leave her behind because they remember all of the times Yun-Jin might have done something similar.

Thanks for reading!!! I’m sorry I don’t post often but I have Shit ton of hw and I recently started a new project sooo ya know 💖💖💖

[if-fortunate]

hi! i absolutely ADORE your fivan fics so much! Like if i can pick my canon, im picking your fic and your whole universe i reread all the time. i was wondering if you had any hcs about their relationship during the war or life after the war (where they finally get to be happy) since we weren’t able to see them together as much in that way?

thank you in advance ✨✨✨

Hello! Thank you so much, this makes me squeal with glee and clap my hands together, I am *so* glad you like my headcanon universe. Yes, I definitely do, so, loosely:

After the war, Ivan becomes Ravka's spymaster - it's difficult for him to be in the field as much, and whilst his disability absolutely doesn't stop him from fighting he's also just so tired of it? So this way he goes into the field where necessary, but really acts as the central node of intelligence and supports King Nikolai and his council.

Fedyor takes over the practical running of the Little Palace - obviously David, Genya, and Zoya are in charge, but they need someone to make sure that the place functions when they're off doing other things. The biggest change that Fedyor makes is that the school for the kids becomes an actual school, not a military training academy. There is no expectation of joining the military when you graduate. There is a track for those who want to, but the school is a lot more wide ranging than when he and Ivan went through it - they want Grisha to have livelihoods other than those which make people fear them.

They also set up regional schools for those people who don't want their children to go all the way to Os Alta, because why should Grisha children be taken from their families if they don't want to be?

The children adore Ivan, especially because he always takes them very seriously, and is firm but fair. He teaches class at the end of the week. After a few weeks of this, Fedyor sneakily organised the kitchen staff to bring a picnic down to the lake for after it - and it's quickly become a Little Palace tradition.

Fedyor insists that the memorial in the courtyard of the Little Palace is for Grisha who fought on both sides. Sometimes he'll get caught in front of it, reading the names to himself. By the time he's an old man, he's got every single name memorised.

When the nightmares get very bad, they always go down to the kitchens and make cocoa and sit in the big arched window looking out onto the courtyard. Sometimes the others join them - Zoya, Genya, and David. Once or twice, even Nikolai appears (which gave everyone a heart attack the first time he did it, and which he has been unbearably smug about ever since).

Ivan wasn't expecting to be asked to visit Keramzin with the others, but he's secretly pleased when Zoya puts her foot down and drags him along the first time. He hangs back and doesn't really say much, but later, he and Mal end up drinking outside on the terrace, looking out at the silent countryside, keeping each other company, and swapping war stories - because sometimes, the only way to deal with a past as jagged as theirs is to talk about it.

After the war, Fedyor goes looking for Ivan's family - not that it matters, now, but he knows Ivan wants to know what has happened to them even if he'll never say anything. Ivan's parents have died, years ago, but Ivan's youngest sister is still there - and she and her wife have three sons, the youngest of whom is Grisha. He comes to the Little Palace to train, and ends up becoming a famous Materialki sculptor.

Eventually, when they are too old to really work any more they move to a small cottage in the grounds of the Little Palace - they could go anywhere really, Ivan teases Fedyor about his old desire for a bakery, but the Little Palace is in their bones now and they know they'll never settle anywhere else. They watch Ravka at peace. They become the de facto grandfathers of the Little Palace - always there to talk to those who've come after them, to feed them cake, to hold their babies, to offer advice.

Fedyor dies three years before Ivan does, and Ivan does his best to keep Fedyor's legacy alive. Sometimes, people will catch him sitting on the steps to his cottage and talking to himself - the younger ones ask who he's talking to, but he never answers.

They are buried together by the lake, under the same headstone. No-one knows who starts the tradition of new graduates of the Little Palace going to say goodbye to them, but it picks up in the years after Ivan dies and carries on, steady. After a century or so, the names wear away - and as times change, the traditions change too - it's less of a goodbye and more of a lucky rock that new students and leaving students touch on either end of their time in the Little Palace. Only those who go looking for Ivan and Fedyor's stories find them, as they are the kind of people that history leaves behind.

It doesn't matter; neither of them need to be remembered. Because in the end they found peace, and that is the most important thing of all.

Wow, ok, this turned into a bit of a story on its own, Anon, but I hope this answers your question! Please feel free to add your own, I always love to hear other people's ideas.

Slashers W/ a Punk S/O

T/W- q*eer is used a few times- in a positive, self affirming kind of way. But I can add other trigger warnings if needed. :)

A/n- Literally no one asked for this, but I wanted to make more HCs like the soft pastel one...so I just went wild and made them. 

I included a little bit of punk culture into this as well, because it’s not just about the fashion, but since there’s such a vast variety within punk culture I mostly stuck with my experiences in the community, and some bits and pieces from documentaries(mostly live footage from “The Decline of Western Civilization”).

Characters: Billy/Stu, The Lost Boys, Norman Bates, Michael Myers

Will make one(s) for Brahms, Amanda, Helen or Daniel if asked

Billy Loomis + Stu Macher

so early 90s, the Riot Grrrl movement emerges

bands like Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Heavens to Betsy or Sleater-Kinney

it’s a very female-powered oriented movement, but I notice that a lot of minorities tend to be drawn to this music and community (LGBT folks, people of color, etc).

both boys, and yourself, being outside of the norm and all (polyamorous relationship, gay/bi) are sort of drawn to it!

and sure there’s a lot of really great queercore/homocore bands, and there’s probably a good LGBT+ punk scene out there somewhere, but in a little town like Woodsboro? Hell no. Sticking with this fem punk movement, while again mostly a space for women in music- it’s the most accepted the three of you have felt outside of you’re relationship. 

you’ve always been pretty into the music, stuff like Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, or the short-lived Germs- but it wasn’t until you stumbled upon Riot Grrrl that you really got into it. 

the music, making zines about local-ish political issues(probably not so much Woodsboro stuff, more Cali in general and neighboring towns) and a few ones with queer themes and hand-drawn illustrations of your partners, and DIYing all your clothes

since you’re so experienced with DIYing your clothes and sewing on patches, you’ve helped repair the Ghostface costumes on numerous occasions. they kind of adore this(Stu is the only one that will- and does, frequently- admit that)

Let’s face it, the three of you do everything together- but you especially enjoy when Stu tags along for thrift dates. 

he’s the more fashionable one, and he makes the whole experience more enjoyable- cracking jokes and just being his all-around goofy self.

Woodsboro is a very little town, so they don’t have much...but they do have a few small stores- usually you’ll make a whole day/date out of it though. driving to the next town or so over, since they have more stores and a better selection, and spending hours looking for cheap, old t-shirts, belts, clothes with funky patterns. heading out for pizza after.

Billy’s more likely to get into the music and everything with you(he’s kinda,, angsty, no offense to him)- will definitely go to shows with you.

just- imagine Billy in ripped jeans. and he’d have like one or two patches sewn on to it- one of them is your all time favorite band, and the other is a band that he found on his own time, and actually really enjoyed.

Stu is dragged along with you guys, you can’t just leave him at home- he’s gonna feel left out and sad. :(

He’s mostly there to keep y’all company- he really likes the energy of the shows though!

the two of them are such a chaotic duo though, so much so that you have definitely been kicked out or banned from a few venues. all for varying reasons. good grief these men can not be tamed.

The Lost Boys

as we all know, these vampires are total punks. so they’re gonna appreciate having a s/o who’s also into that whole scene.

How you meet:

you’re a baby punk, and it’s your first show ever, and you look so nervous. you’re dressed up in pretty plain clothes, a single homemade patch for your favorite band barely hanging to your jacket side(you were mid-way sewing it, when you realized you were gonna be late if you didn’t leave asap).

it’s a few local bands, ones you’d never really heard of really. you look anxious. but when they start playing? you look so unapologetically yourself, you’re so in the moment dancing- it’s completely mesmerizing to the boys. the music isn’t even that good, but you seem to be having the time of your life.

they greet you after the show, and you’re a tiny bit flustered- cause gosh, heck, they saw you. dancing. so embarrassing. 

David is the one that introduces himself and the group, and initiates conversation. Dwayne’s a pretty quiet guy, so he just listens to what you have to say. 

Marko’s pretty excited about you, and initiates in some small conversation, he may have complimented your little patch(Marko- patch jacket KING, complimenting your jacket?? more likely than you’d think) 

and oh, oh- Paul is out there being a total chatty-cathy, and is absolutely bombarding you with questions. like, okay, Paul is pretty talkative, but the other vamps are a little worried that he’s scared you off. and you had seemed so cool :(

you end up pretty engaged in your convo with Paul though, even if all the attention is overwhelming. He ends up snagging a date for the five of you the following week.

once you start hanging out/dating:

y’all just hit it off so well those first few days. they all love how sweet & shy you are- but also how much of a badass punk babe you are.

Marko helps make your patch jacket(collecting ones for bands you enjoy, how to make your own, sewing them on, etc). you probably could have done it w/out his help, but my gosh- you weren’t going to pass up this opportunity. Marko gets really soft around you sometimes, since he doesn’t really do this activity with anyone else, it’s saved for you. 🥺🥺

Dwayne likes listening to you talking about the local scene(outside of the shows you go to- mostly about stuff he can’t attend, protests and meetings during the daylight.)

all of them(especially David) are very protective of you. I mean, generally. but also when you go to shows. they let you do whatever the heck you’re gonna do, but the mere second that someone even thinks about starting shit w/ you?? well, y’know. those vampire instincts kick in.

the four of them obviously share a lot of similar tastes in music- but they all have different favorite bands, & fave parts of the community. which, they can’t even fully participate in,, but it’s okay.

they, individually, introduce their favorite bands to you. and they get it in their head that oh, they said they liked it. they must like it as much as I do. and awkwardly coming out to the four of them, as they argue about your favorite band, “Well, actually- this *insert band they’ve never heard of or barely listen to* is my favorite.” and their just kinda like, oh, okay. please tell us more about them. 

so it’s sorta like,, you’ve been learning all this cool knowledge from them, now you get to share cool knowledge with them.

idk. I think it’s cute. 💕

Norman Bates

so first off- let’s just pretend Psycho was in at least the 70s/80s for a moment. because realistically- the punk subculture didn’t really exist back then.

baby boy is absolutely fascinated by the way you dress (mother is less thrilled though)

imagine your jacket is getting a bit weathered, and needs some repairs- so he helps you to sew edges closed, and make sure the patches aren’t on too loose, etc

he enjoys hearing your stories of all the past shows you’ve gone to. you always get so excited about them, and he finds that so endearing. But he pretty much leaves the actual punk scene to you because of these stories.

he was already worried from the stories, and made sure you were well prepared for any trouble every time you left for a show.

but one time, you were able to get him to join you. never again though. he was so nervous!

the music was too loud! and he could hardly understand what they were saying- it was so confusing!

you stayed with him most of the night, standing near the back, holding his hand. he’d gently bob his head to the music occasionally. 

but you accidentally found yourself swept into the crowd, but you looked so blissed-out in the moment, that he figured it would be okay for you to dance* over there for a little bit...right?  

*Norman is still unsure if you’d even call that dancing.

Thankfully, nothing bad happened in the mosh pit.

you gotta give him lots of attention and reassurance afterwards though- you almost scared Norman half to death D:

He’s happy enough helping you out and listening to you though- and that’s okay for you, too. you still love each other lots, even if this particular interest doesn’t overlap.

Michael Myers

he thinks you’re outfits are pretty interesting. 

he’s a little worried at first, when you start experimenting with putting things like safety pins in your ears. cause like- that’s not supposed to be in your ear, Y/n, what the fuck

if you make zines at all, Michael really enjoys watching you make the illustrations for them(not that he’ll admit to it though), and helps to find newspaper and magazine clippings to incorporate into the spreads.

you always show michael the final booklet before distributing it

he doesn’t talk a lot, so he doesn’t ask questions- but he often does the little head tilt once you give it to him. since he’s not very privy to current events, and a lot of your zines are political, you spend a lot of time explaining them in depth.

he has no use for any of this knowledge, but he listens on, intently.

Important note:

dear god do not bring this man to concerts and local shows with you.

it is a nightmare, to say the least

Michael is sort of,, emotionless sometimes, doesn’t really care for people at all, and if he does? definitely not in the same way most people do. 

so imagine combining that part of michael, the fact that he’s also a giant stabby man, with super loud, energetic- almost aggressive- sounding music and a bunch of strangers that aren’t respecting any personal boundaries. 

you need to keep him at the back of the venue- lest your local scene may go missing.

Dating Luke Alvez HC’s

word count: 1.3k

warnings: some are a little risqué but nothing major

a/n: here’s some headcanons for luke! might do some nsfw ones, and for spencer and Hotch but I have to finish some requests first

—

love love LOVES music

michael jackson, david bowie, queen, biggie smalls, etc.

oh what I would I do to see him sing ‘hypnotize’ (I know he drinks his Respecting Women Juice but he always emphasizes on “bulletproof glass tints if I want some ass” with a laugh ‘cause it reminds him of an ‘inside joke’ you two share aka the time you two fucked in one of the bureau’s SUVs during a boring stakeout but that’s a story for another time)

ALSO SPANISH MUSIC DUH

our puerto rican + cuban king loves daddy yankee, calle 13, nicky jam, bad bunny, marc anthony, juanes, hombres G!!!

does Not Care if you can’t speak/understand Spanish, he’s got you dancing with him either way

GOING CRAZY TO ‘gasolina’ AND ‘yo perreo sola’ AND ‘safaera’

this mere idea of dancing to reggaeton with luke,,, im lightheaded

all you feel is his hands’ tight grip on your hips and the feeling of your ass pressing against him has him groaning and im gonna pass out if I keep thinking about it

not even gonna talk about dancing with him to cumbia bc y’all would never hear the end of it

anyways you got him airpods for christmas because you were sick of hearing him complain about always having to detangle his wires; he wears them almost 24/7 and likes that he can share one with you and not have to worry about the wires

he has playlists for EVERYTHING

big cuddle monster

luke is naturally a Big Spoon, have you SEEN HIS ARMS AND BODY? so Wide and perfecting for holding you

loves to hold you in his sleep, you’re like an anchor for him when he gets nightmares from cases

the bau team has several pictures of you two asleep on the jet; some of your head on luke’s chest with one of his arms around you and others with your limbs so tangled together that they can’t tell where luke ends and you begin

prefers Real Cuddles at home though because both of you are handsy and innocent cuddles have turned into sex more times than you can count

but sometimes after a bad case he just wants to be held with your fingers running through his hair. you’re in bed and he tightly wraps his arms around your waist, resting his upper body on yours with his head on your chest or face buried in your neck.

He’s a very protective man

and not like in an overbearing way

it’s just that you both have seen and know firsthand how sick and dangerous the world can be sometimes and he never wants it to touch you

almost always has a hand on you; whether it’s holding hands, or an arm over your shoulders, or a hand on your waist, or—

alternatively, your hands always wind up in his back pocket or holding onto his GIANT biceps

usually in lines he stands behind you with his arms wrapped around you and resting his chin on the top of your head, or you’re next to him and holding his arm with your head resting on his shoulder

sometimes you go on runs together with Roxy

and sometimes you go run by yourself, and Luke always suggests taking Roxy with you

not because he thinks you’re incapable of taking care of yourself without him but he doesn’t want to take the risk of something happening to you when he’s not there

also because “she could go for a run, burn some of that energy, right, Roxy?”

ALSO EXTRA PROTECTIVE IN THE FIELD!!!!

He knows the danger is part of the job but he just hates the idea of something happening to you

He will try to talk you out of something too dangerous but won’t tell you that you can’t go (even though he REALLY WANTS TO) because as much as he loves and cares for you, he knows you’re a great agent and are capable of taking care of yourself out in the field

I suppose it also depends on the case and the unsub? ‘cause like if you fit the unsub’s victimology then he’s more,,,cautious about it

Luke always tries to put himself in between you and the potential danger, which is funny because you try to do the same thing

[insert that meme/comic of the two people bending to protect each other]

does a mix of the ‘get behind me’ and ‘mom arm reflex for an abrupt stop’ so he can protect you from anything ahead and you have his back with a view of anything behind you guys

literally will take a bullet for you if it comes to it and he knows without a doubt that you would do the same

BACK TO ROXY!!! that adorable german shepard

HIS ENTIRE CAMERA ROLL IS JUST YOU, HIM, AND ROXY

but mostly you and Roxy

with the occasional bau team pics

but when Luke first introduced you to her the first time you came over to his house

it went...ok?

roxy—like luke—has seen Some Serious Shit

even being a friendly dog, I think it’d be natural for her to be cautious with new people

so when her daddy is bringing the same woman home she is like oH??

she was a little shy and kept her distance, staying close to luke the first few times you went over

eventually she got used to you coming around more often, sitting closer to you and letting you pet her more

you swear luke’s eyes were glossy the first time Roxy curled up next to you and laid her head on your lap

“no, (Y/N), I’m not about to cry it’s just that I have…dust...in my eyes…”

he’s melting on the inside though because you’re both his Best Girls Who He Loves Very Much!!!!!

he also trusts you enough to watch Roxy if he’s away and loves that Roxy trusts you too

sometimes he stays at the BAU later and comes home to you asleep on the couch with Roxy right by your side, or you’re in bed with Roxy right by the entrance of the room

either way it makes him Soft™️ that Roxy is also just as protective of you

“what’s up, baby? you taking care of mommy for me, being a good guard dog for (y/n)?”

with both of you working at the BAU, you are literally the Hottest Couple Most Sleep Deprived Couple

you sleep at the hotels when you’re on a case but let’s be real: sometimes the case is too fresh in your mind to let you sleep, same goes for Luke

you guys find that just talking about it helps

sex works too, but there’s only two moods after: I’m so tired now thank you and I love you, goodnight OR I now have more energy than I did when we got in bed can we please go another round

NAP DATES ARE SO FREQUENT

like you will just go over to cuddle him and sleep

you stay over a lot more than luke stays at your place and it’s mostly because taking Roxy back and forth gets difficult, especially if your place is like less equipped for pets

ANYWAYS

as sleep deprived as you two are, you can’t sleep in late

You’re both used to waking up early and at ungodly times because of work, plus Luke takes Roxy outside in the mornings to potty so you usually get up to make him coffee

so your bodies aren’t exactly programmed to want to sleep in, but there are rare times when you’ll sleep in till like 11am (Luke has potty pads in place for Roxy just in case)

but since you guys tend to wake up early on your days off, you spend the mornings in bed and just nap throughout the day

finally, having lots of pet names for each other!!!!!

his for you include but are not limited to:

mamas

baby

sweet thang

mi amor

pretty lady

princesa

yours for him include but are not limited to:

babe

big guy

sweet cheeks

papacito

cariño

papi chulo (he ALWAYS blushes with this one but he tries to cover it up with a smirk)

[tiptapricot]

hello king may I bother you for sum michael hcs

that is all

Oh hell yeah it’s mr bimbo time

He doesn’t have a great sense of who he is as a person

I think he’s a classic romantic and really really wants to fall in love, but he finds it hard to connect with people on an emotional level

He’s an introvert that everyone thinks is an extrovert

He knows how to play guitar. He’s not great at it, but he’s pretty decent

He has an ok singing voice too, in a kind of rough and airy kind of way. He used to sing Sammy to sleep when he was younger

Brief mentions of drinking and drug use under cut

He’s been a straight C and D student throughout school, even though he always tries hard, and though he wants to go to college, he knows that’s probably not an option since his chances of getting a scholarship are basically zero

He wants to do something with his life but there’s nothing he wants to do

He basically just expects to go into the workforce or go to trade school or something, since those seem like his only options

I get the vibe that Lucy was already sort of a single mom when she was still married to Sam and Micahel’s dad, in that their dad was busy with work or just generally out of the house a lot, so when Lucy was working it usually fell to Michael to be the adult

He sort of grew up faster than was probably healthy because of that, since he always tried to help out around the house and support his parents and Sammy

He got his first job when he was 14 mowing his neighbors’ lawn regularly, and picked up odd jobs whenever he could after. He worked at a movie theater for awhile, as well as a retail store and the local county fair. He usually didn’t tell Lucy about these, since she already had a lot on her plate

He bought his bike when he was seventeen

He learned how to fix it on his own so he wouldn’t have to pay extra for someone else to do it, and likes the busy work of tweaking and adjusting things

He gets good at it too, and has fixed friends’ and acquaintances’ bikes before for extra cash. This is really the only thing he thinks he might want to do as a career, but at the same time he enjoys it more as a hobby

He likes to take rides when he needs to think or calm down, usually at night where he can pull off somewhere remote and not be bothered for awhile

He doesn’t get cold easily

The one person who’s always guaranteed to make him smile/put him in a better mood is Sam, and he can never really get or stay seriously angry at him for that long

The first inklings of his sexuality crisis surfaced in early high school when he was briefly on the football team. He left pretty quick though and has never really gotten into sports since, though he does work out in his spare time

He’s never really had a solid/close friends group until he meets TLB, and they’re also what really bring him to the realization that he’s bi

If he could he’d just live with his family and ride around and live life, but that’s not really an option if he doesn’t want to be a financial burden

He showers twice a week at most, mostly because he forgets

He and Sammy have movie nights every Friday where Michael picks up some cheap snacks from the store and they settle on the couch and Sam shows him whatever new thing he’s interested in

One of them always falls asleep before it’s over (usually Sam, in which case Michael will carry him up to bed)

He likes red vines and hates twizzlers

He has really rough hands, lots of callouses, and he usually keeps his nails pretty short

He’s always kind of gone with the flow and expectations of people around him, so he went to parties in high school and got wasted and dated girls here and there and shit, but it never felt right, like he never really felt like he was enjoying it like everyone else was

He has really bad bed head

He has kind of shit taste in alcohol and more often than not just gets some cheap beer from the store if he wants a drink

He’s also a lightweight, but he knows it

He’s basically a tired, broke, young adult who loves his family and is having a bunch of personal issues on the side

He’s not great at talking about his feelings

One time, while hanging out with TLB, he’s a little buzzed and they’re hanging out around a beach fire, and he laughs at something Marko says and just... realizes he’s never felt this at ease before

David is his first guy kiss

He’s very protective of Sam and has stood up to other kids that pick on him multiple times

He firmly believes in the five second rule and will also eat food he finds on the floor if it “looks fine”

He’s dairy intolerant but both doesn’t know and doesn’t care

His favorite color is blue

He doesn’t cry when he comes out to Sam, but does when he comes out to Lucy, and he doesn’t know why

He gives really good hugs and really likes being hugged

Even though he’s kind of tall he prefers being the little spoon

As far as physical affection goes, he loves gentle kisses, they just make him melt

He’s really out of touch with pop culture and doesn’t get half the references Sam talks about. He’s picked up a few things just from being around him so much, but he’s not really into any media on his own

No matter how old he gets, he still lets Lucy kiss him on the cheek when he leaves the house in the mornings

Once Upon A Time Rewatch: 6x12 Murder Most Foul

Oh! This is a Charming centric, I think? Awesome!

Aww! Baby David and James!!

So James was named before he was adopted. Interesting that George and his wife chose to keep that name.

I wonder which twin is older. I think I’ve said this before. I hc that David is younger by a few minutes.

Omg Ruth pointed a knife at Rumple for trying to take one of her sons. 

That really must be an impossible decision. 

Rumple gave him the coin! 

I forgot they went by heads or tails. I thought David was just Ruth’s favourite.

Uggggh! That’s so horrible! It hurts!

Creepy ghost is creepy!

Archie! I miss seeing Archie more. I wonder if he has any trauma from when Killian kidnapped him. And now he’s his therapist!

Snowing miss each other so much!

David is going through the motions today! 

Neighbouring king? I always thought Ruth and David lived in King George’s kingdom. Do you think that if King George knew about David as well, he would have adopted him too, by force if he had to, in order to keep the secret? I think he would have. If someone saw another boy looking exactly like the prince, then they may have said something. Though, would it have to be a secret? Were they allowed to have adopted heirs in their realm? I mean, Regina would have made Henry heir to her throne and then she is not Queen due to line of succession even though she was born a princess. Couldn’t King George change the law if he wanted? It may have been an issue if the secret was the reason he wanted to kill David’s father. Oh, in England it’s been illegal for centuries apparently. That is beyond stupid! What are you gonna do if the next in line to the throne is asexual or gay and wants to adopt or just wants to only adopt? Not that I’m a fan of the concept of royalty in the real world but that’s straight up discrimination! Laws may be different in the EF though. I just can’t remember why George wanted to kill David’s dad. 

Awww look at little David!!

Omg he’s adorable!!

David, honey, you need to get some sleep. I know you miss Snow, but you probably haven’t slept in ages! 

Maybe David is seeing things that aren’t there. I always start seeing things that aren’t there when I haven’t slept, especially spiders. I f***ing hate spiders. 

Talking to a dead significant other’s alternative self must be so weird. Are they trying to court over stories of the original Robin? *whispers* That’s kinda weird.

Zelena, what the hell? That’s not even his child. Calm down, girl. 

I mean, I guess she is biologically his child. When an identical twin is an uncle, do they have dna matches as if they were the biological father also? I’ve probably asked this before. And then when it comes to alternate versions of the same person, don’t they share 100 per cent the same DNA? So biologically Robin Jr. may be Wish Robin’s child. The same goes for Original Hook and Alice and Wish Hook and Hope, I suppose. I wonder if the Hooks would act like uncles to the kids that aren’t technically theirs. 

Zelena, that was so random.

That’s not even the Nottingham you know, Robin! 

Was this what original Robin meant about having a dark past, or something. Was he like this before?

I wanna see Emma and Henry’s canoeing trip!! If there are any edits of this, please point me to them! 

Wait, there’s another curse Emma wants to break? I can’t remember there being one. What happened this time? Oh! Her parents’ sleeping curse! I thought there was another dark curse I’d missed. That could have very well been the case.

“I’d do anything to see my boy and tell him I’m sorry.” You can see Rumple felt that because it’s exactly what he wants to do. He doesn’t even need a hair from his head, he’s just trying to keep his image up. Really he’s helping him for free because he knows what that pain is like. Yep, he threw it away!

Rumple: “Someday, may we all be reunited with our sons.”

You go canoeing Emma! You guys have fun!

Why didn’t Regina give those hearts back once she decided to turn over a new leaf? I know she said she took so many she lost track but if everyone who’s heart was taken came forward, they might be able to figure it out through trial and error.

She really was hoping to get with this Robin so that they could be part of each other's fresh starts. But wouldn’t that feel like a betrayal to the other Robin? It’s kinda like replacing him with a copy. 

Oh snap! They kissed! Regina, don’t do this, girl. It’s too weird.

He’s stolen something, hasn’t he.

Pleasure island makes me feel so uneasy. I used to be terrified of Disney’s Pinocchio. Pleasure island is just creepy in that movie.

I hate the fact that they put Pinocchio in the flashback of this episode so much. If we’re to assume this puppet is physically 6 or 7 then he’s probably older than David! He must have remained physically a 6 or 7 year old puppet for at least 20 years. I liked him being closer to Emma’s age. Why did they retcon this? And this Pinocchio has so much more attitude than the young Pinocchio we’ve seen in previous episodes.

I love James’ Prince outfit! It’s so cool! Omg! I’ve just realised it’s the same outfit the prince wears in the Snow White Disney movie!! How have I not realised this before?!

James doesn’t want to kill things! George completely manipulated him. He had a good heart and why would George do this to his frightened son?? And he’s only 6! So cruel!

Nope. That doesn’t make sense. No way August took the pages about Pinocchio out of the book. Henry had already read the whole book by then. The whole idea was that August added the story of Pinocchio to help Emma figure things out or something. Henry said the Pinocchio story wasn’t there before when he got his book back. 

David, no!

I feel so sad for James. He’s just a kid. Leave him alone! Let him run through the forest and sing to birds, as Disney princes should. George basically got James killed. Just be a decent father, George and don’t be so cruel to your own freaking son. Jeez! I bet he was a horrible, controlling husband too. He is so controlling! 

Random thought but I kinda ship James with Zelena. They both had terrible fathers. Zelena had two! I wonder if she ever met her other dad. Would she have pulled a Tom Riddle and killed him? 

David’s dad stood his ground. He was told of James’ father’s abuse and tried to protect James, even knowing he would pay dearly. And then afterwards no one was left to protect James. Maybe his mother did before she died and maybe that’s when George began trying to force him to become a knight. I like to think his mother was loving to him until she died when he was young like Zelena’s was. They got a taste of unconditional love in their early years and then it was torn away from them and replaced with control and/or contempt.

This guy has just told James he is his biological father, George acknowledges this and then tells them to kill him in front of Janes?! How freaking heartless!

Look how angry David was when he thought he’d found the man who killed his father. Then when he realises it was Killian he’s like “it’s all cool bruh. We chilling at Granny’s tonight?” Let. The. Charmings. Express. Their. Anger. And. Pain. It’s like Regina and Killian are Gods to them who can do know wrong, require instant forgiveness and nothing must be spoken against them. As for other villains, good freaking luck! And if your one of the Charmings or considered a hero from the start, if you so much as look at someone the wrong way you are the worst most evil villain in existence. Like Eva. Due to her deeds, which I agree weren’t nice, Regina considered her the villain as compared to freaking Cora. What??! She was the bully in that situation, yes, but how can you compare her misdeeds to Cora’s?!

David, bby!! I’m sorry! I love you! 

Oh Lord, I’m crying!

I want to hug David so badly!

David says he doesn’t know if he has a way to repay Killian, Killian says he may have an idea and then asks for David’s blessing. Like, “Yeah you can repay me! Repay me with your daughter’s hand in marriage, suckkker!!”

Hey! I’ve kissed many photographs of my dog! And if you believe hard enough, they will walk through the photo into your living room and frighten the sh*t out of you!

Called it! He did steal something.

Interesting choice for August to give Killian the pages with him killing David’s dad. He should have given them straight to David. Maybe that’s what Wish Pinocchio meant when he said that Emma put her faith in him and that he hopes she never does that again. I love August but maybe Blue imbued him with some of her shadiness when she turned him into a real boy.

And Killian was naughty to look at those pages. Or maybe that moment wasn’t part of those pages. Maybe Killian just recognise the face of the man he ruthlessly killed!

The thing is, why would Killian care if he saw him kill the King’s men? He’s spent years rebelling against royalty. I’m sure he’s known by now. 

Killian must be taking one of his trips from Neverland ordered by Pan at this point.

The heartlessness! He hears the man has a family and a child, he believed him and then kills him horribly afterwards. This has got to be one of the evilest things Killian ever did. And it’s Emma’s grandfather!!

Even one of his crewmates is look looking at him like “Wtf.” It makes me so angry. Don’t get me wrong, I actually think it was a great twist, but I hate how it was handled. I hate that David, who was so hurt by this didn’t get to express his anger at Killian towards him or at all. That’s just not realistic. I guess he was following how Snow forgave Regina for killing her father. But even that took many years, not freaking minutes!

At least tell Emma.

Is that ring getting smaller the more I look at it or am I high on my meds? 

[highdwightofmylife]

dwight, jeff, jake, and david hcs for an s/o who’s really shy and quiet at first but is loud and excitable when you get to know them? (kind of like the life of the party type?)

friend i would die for all of them of coursei wasn’t entirely sure which david you want so i just went for king??? sorry for assuming!!

Dwight Fairfield

- You’re shy. He’s shy. At the beginning, it was very quiet whenever you two sat next to each other at the campfire. The others joked that you were made for each other. Perhaps you were.- It’s very awkward, can’t lie. He goes to say something, but you’ve decided to try at the same time, and you both let your voices cut out in embarrassment. “So–” “Hey–” Silence. - The longer you hang out with him and the others, you get more vocal and outgoing. He liked you before, but this newfound confidence? He thinks it’s goddamn perfect. He could watch you and your excitable ways for hours and wish that he had the confidence to join you. Your laugh is contagious and it gives him a little boost. - He feels like he doesn’t deserve someone as absolutely awesome and perfect as you. Please try to convince this baby otherwise, he’s very soft. - You shouted once in a trial because you were excited and he had to physically put his hand over your mouth and remind you that there was a killer on the loose. But that only developed into sheepish giggles and then your laugh made him laugh and then before you know it, the killer was watching you two from the distance and he was really confused. Prepare to run for your lives, you dumb sappy kids. Love you. 

Jeff Johanson 

- Thought your shy demeanour was real sweet. He’s not a loud man himself, but he’s confident enough to take the lead. Low-key felt a need to look out for you. Big man does a protecc- If anyone talks over you, he’ll take the time to ask you what you wanted and bring it up to the group. He doesn’t want you to feel like you’re being ignored, but he also doesn’t want to push you out of your comfort zone too fast! You just tell this man exactly what you’re feeling and he’ll make sure that everything is sorted!- He’s less protective when you come out of your shell more, because he knows you can fend for yourself now. He’s super happy when you make your points known and he adores hearing your voice. He loves seeing you able to let loose and have the confidence to do the things you couldn’t do before.- I say less protective, but he still gonna take good care of you. He’s by your side no matter how you feel on any given day.- Sometimes shushes you late and night and tells you to leave some of the excited babbles for tomorrow. He might love your voice but he also doesn’t want you tucker yourself out, and the faster you shut up, the faster he gets to let you curl up beside him. - It’s funny because there you are, bouncing off the walls, while he just chills and tells you how cute you are.

Jake Park

- He’s a lone wolf by nature, and yet he’s always stuck to your shy side like glue?? He says he wants time alone and yet he follows you everywhere. Make up your mind, Jake. He’s just worried, and he wants to help build up your confidence as it could mean life or death in a trial. You need to be sure of yourself if you want to survive. - He’s very patient with you. He won’t force you out of your comfort zone immediately, but he was give you gentle pushes in the right direction. - Once you’re more confident, he’s quite happy to watch you mingle with the others. He often doesn’t join in unless you drag him over, but he’s willing to go -- but only for you. He prefers to just watch you be social than, y’know, actually be social himself.- Sometimes you’re a little too noisy for his tastes, in which case he might physically drag you down and just goddamn squish you into a hug. They seem a little passive-aggressive, but you still love them. And he loves you! Just let the man chill sometimes.

David King

- King of pep talks. He’s gonna blast you with the strongest, most inspiring pep talks you’ve ever seen in your life. Prepare to watch him strutting around the camp like a football coach and feeding your ego as much as he can. “WHO’S GONNA DO THE THING? YOU ARE! BECAUSE YOU CAN! AND I’M ROOTIN’ FOR YA!” - Sometimes forgets that you’re not too comfortable in situations yet and will pull you into social things. He’s not being mean! He just wants to include you and show you off to everyone! Please be patient with the man, he’s trying his best.- When you start getting more comfortable, he’s overjoyed. Totally thinks that his pep talks did all the work. He’s so goddamn proud of you! The two of you are the life of the party now.- His favourite thing is play fighting with you. Rolling around on the dirt and pretending to punch each other to all hell. The laughter you make when you do that with him is music to his ears and he absolutely adores this side of you.

fc: riz ahmed (listen,,,), matt ryan

hc: he lets people lie to him too often. he lets them say "i'll be okay, i know what i'm getting into," lets them love him even when he knows he shouldn't. he wants to love & be loved so badly that he always tricks himself into thinking that maybe this time it'll be different, maybe this time it'll end okay. it never does.

[darejpg]

« ooc info — oak, 18, east, any pronouns » though they strongly resemble benjamin wadsworth, you’re not going to see darren “dare” title in hollywood. instead, they go to highview u, where he/they studies piano performance. the twenty-one year old is a demiboy and has a reputation among their friends as being empathetic and reckless, but there’s no choice but to keep them around. impulsive stick and pokes, smoke from a bonfire in the distance, and tear stained cheeks always remind me of them, but i might just be going stir crazy.

hey, squad !! i’m oak and i’m so heckin’ excited to be here! as you can see, i’m 18, use any pronouns, and from east. not the est. the east. i wholeheartedly put that on my app and i ain’t fixing it. anyways here’s some deets about dare. you can also find his pinterest board here. yeehonk. let’s get it.

i’m going to sparknotes this as much as possible, but if you have any questions feel free to hmu

also a general alcohol tw

dare was born and raised in detroit to a loving mother and a father he couldn’t have hated more. truly, the dad wasn’t ready for fatherhood and took it out on his own kid. the hatred started early and was reciprocated, more from his father’s side than his own. neither dare or his mom really stood up to old pops for being a dick and sort of lived with it. 

(parental death tw) the thing is, dare’s mom died soon after he turned thirteen of a heart attack and the remaining title’s weren’t the same. his dad turned into an entire... monster and dare quickly took the mantle of an edgy emo boy. he had no idea how to deal with such a loss and a father who blamed him for his mother’s death. after a year of wallowing and taking his father’s shit, darren decided enough was enough and ran to live with his aunt who lived about twenty minutes away from highview u. his dad was like “aight see ya” and completely forgot about dare and adopted a brand new perfect son who was also french. smh. 

truthfully, dare never got over his whole edgy phase and was salty about his father for ages (and still is!). his aunt was very lax in “parenting” (if you can even say she did that) and at most would just pick up dare from the police station after he set fire to a pile of trash at the junkyard. until he was sixteen, dare went buckwild, okay? he was committing crimes left and right, partying until dawn, and then doing it all over again the next week. he was decent though. and still kept up with school. his dad said that he expected dare to drop out a few too many times and he truly stayed in school just for spite. the one thing his aunt did to help him though was teach him how to play the piano. it was something his mom truly loved and dare always wanted to learn, but his dad always said he couldn’t. turns out he was a natural and here he is attending highview u on scholarship because there’s no way he could get in otherwise.

personality wise, he’s a dick, usually. to the public, he’s a menace. at the police station, he’s hated. he’s god a lethal tongue and doesn’t really give a shit about people’s feelings. total asshole, you get it, right? but here’s the catch: i really... think that when dealing with this group of friends, dare is just a whole new person. he has an entirely separate personality that’s much kinder and more understanding than the one he puts on to the general public. dare really loves this group more than anyone and considers them his family. he understands them, is usually open about his past issues, and would die for them in a heartbeat. also, he’s unusually emotional around them. catch him having a breakdown in the hot tub at least four times over this vacation!

some more hcs as if this isn’t long enough i’m sorry: dare is bi and identifies as a demiboy! he usually uses he/him pronouns but will use they/them too. his favorite crime is arson. he usually won’t get in a fight because he can’t risk damage to his hands, but will deck someone if truly needed. loves loves loves frank ocean and the nbhd. he’ll impulsively give himself stick and pokes and is a master at it. cries in every movie. has drunk dmed david dobrik at least 14 times asking if he can join the squad. whiskey king.

wanted plots!

he has a competition with sabrina to kiss every person in the group so... if you want to kiss him playing spin the bottle or in the hot tub or something... hmu

maybe there’s one person he really can’t get along with in the group

they didn’t get off on the right foot and they blossomed into friends later on

his roommate(s) on the trip!!!

an ex ohhhh he’s a serial kisser

childhood friends? 

his roommate back at school

drinking buds

they cry in the hot tub together

the one friend he’s especially close to and goes to when he’s in his feelings

[ckyking]

the world forgetting, the world forgot

finally done with this timetravel!hc which grew so fucking long omg. so, yeah, new ot3 + nyxnoct. enjoy!

guess who is going to a special kind of hell for this? me! and guess who doesn’t give a fuck? still me!

now that’s out of the way, let’s get on with it

the astrals like their cycle

if the first king of light fails? allow the bloodline to grow in power

a king is born, dies, goes to the crystal

rinse and repeat, until the expected spike in power comes

but what if this went even further?

it always seemed strange to me that regis gave noctis what would have become his royal arm, the culmination of all he did as a ruler of lucis

aren’t they supposed to be forged in the heat of battle? a weapon stolen and made greater still? a weapon born from its wielder’s being?

no, noctis’ royal arm is and has always been the sword of the father, not that it bore that name at the time

all that he is and he would be compressed in one blade, the one that would ultimately take his life

and the engine blade? regis’ weapon

(in other worlds, this is not true, and regis gave him the engine blade as a birthday present, for his son who would never get to make his own path)

this is how it happens

when noctis dies for the first time, the crystal refuses to let him go

the king of light is born at dusk and dies at dawn, so it is written

but for him to die, he must be born first

this is a given

so, when he dies, the crystal takes him back into himself, and whisks him away to a time where his shadow lingers over everyone he ever touched

the soul of eos does not care for linearity, it exists at every point in time where the planet is still alive, and it would not be denied

he reappears around forty years in the past, in the tempering grounds, unaware of anything but his name

gilgamesh, for all that he is ruthless, still recognizes a member of the line he had sworn himself to

the line that he himself belonged to, once upon a time, before forsaking his name to protect his brother, and become his shield

he is the one that takes the last king in, that heals him and takes care of him, helped by the lucian souls who dwell in their resting place

noctis is cut off from the crystal’s power, because he is not a king in that world. he is just a man, adrift in time

elemancy, inherited from his mother’s side, still runs in his veins, but it is the only magic he has access to now

and the blade he wields is the one responsible for the scar on his chest

as well as the two daggers that had followed him in death, like their owner would have

noctis spends a lot of time in the tempering grounds in the beginning as he slowly regains his strength and adapts to the hole the crystal left inside of him

not that he knows what the dull pain inside of him is

training with gilgamesh, talking with the souls, healing

the past is not that different from the future in that moment

after a while, gilgamesh pronounces him as healthy as he will ever get, and tells him that it is not yet his time to dwell in the tempering grounds

that the lake would accept him, someday, but not at the moment

but still, so he may always find his way back, gilgamesh gives him one of the banners adorning the caves, which he ties around the handles of all three of his blades

he starts exploring after that, getting back in touch with the world he was kept away from for his own good

jobs as hunter, mercenary, always on the move, never settling

one of the people he likes to spend time with is kimya, who feels both familiar and grounded in a way that doesn’t leave his head aching

he feels like he knows her, but it’s not as urgent a feeling as when he tries to pierce the veil obscuring his memories

it’s during one of those hunts that he meets clarus for the first time

the future king’s shield usually get out of the city for training purposes, to test his strength against stronger opponents than he would find in insomnia and to see his friends amongst the hunters

it’s not unusual for him to go to hunters’ bars to share glasses and stories afterwards

that’s when he starts noticing a lone hunter, always in black, with simple and functional clothes, but the sigils and subtle ornaments betray them as being of lucian make, even if older than what he is used to seeing

the crystal earrings which glinted in the light, the old jewelry around his neck, the designs engraved in his sword’s hilt

all of it betrayed his lucian heritage

no one seems to know who he is, he just appeared one day and starting taking all of the higher bounties and coming back none the worse for wear

and he is always alone, no matter that more than one hunter offered to accompany him

but what struck him the most was how similar he looked to aulea

the features, the eyes, even the unconscious little movements when confronted with either cold or heat were the same

and this is what pushes him to seat at his table the next time he sees him

noctis is surprised to be approached so boldly

people are always either completely at ease around him, like kimya or little dave, or put ill at ease by something...out of place around him

clarus is neither, and he is curious in spite of himself

something in the back of his mind hums in recognition

it’s almost too easy to fall back into half-remembered banter as the shield asks him about his latest hunt, the one everybody had been buzzing about

because who goes to hunt a family of malboros on their own?

but there is a reason why noctis doesn’t like to stay around people for too long

warm and mellowed by alcohol, it’s easy to forget the splitting headaches that incapacitate him at the least opportune of times

the only sign of pain this time around is a brief furrowing of his eyebrows before his face smoothed out

and clarus is amazed by how much he looked like regis in that moment

regis, whose face could clear of laughter in less than a second when faced with a member of the council

but he has no time to dwell on it, because his drinking partner gets up and starts gathering his gear

“i will see you around?” he says uncertainly, looking back with cloudy blue eyes

“you will.” clarus has an inkling about who this mysterious hunter may be, and he is not about to let go before confirming it. “i’m clarus.”

“noctis. just...noctis.”

and he is gone

they don’t see each other for quite a while after this

because noctis’ head won’t stop hurting

the memories are almost there, and whatever is holding them back is raging

half-blind from pain, he makes his way back to gilgamesh by letting his feet take him back, based the feel of the elemental deposits he encountered on his way

he doesn’t know how he is not killed before arriving, really

elemancy is his saving grace, close-combat so out of his reach it’s laughable

noctis finds his way to the havens simply by feel, feeling for the runes humming with blessed magic, eyes closed to try and lessen the pressure behind them

they grant him just enough peace for him to doze off fitfully, images flitting behind his eyes

when he finally, finally gets back, he almost cries in relief

death would be better than this

the first thing he feels is gilgamesh’s gauntleted hand on the side of his face

“what have you done to yourself now, lost one?”

noctis turns his face into his hand, cold metal a balm to his burning skin

the blademaster leads him gently to the lake at the center of his domain, and makes him drink

while inwardly cursing the astrals and the crystal for the way they chose to play things out

noctis finally falls asleep, and gilgamesh takes him to the island, letting him rest on the altar at its center while it takes effect

once again burying his memories and healing him

this time, he lets it go deeper, granting him a part of his power

the ritual was only ever meant for his own warriors, but exceptions are to be made sometimes

(the tempering grounds and everything associated with them were forgotten for a reason after all, and that reason is the water)

the recovery takes longer this time, noctis’ exhausted body and mind falling deeper into slumber to recover

when he wakes up, it is to the warriors’ concerned voices and gilgamesh leaning against the slab of stone he was asleep on

“whatever you did almost killed you, lost one. do not attempt such a thing again.”

noctis takes a moment before answering

“they were almost back. i don’t know if i want them to.”

a solemn silence fills the grounds

the memories are safely back behind their wall now, but the lost king vows to stay away from others even more than before after this

he doesn’t want to go through this again

the barrier is stronger now, and the headaches are gone by the time he goes back to the surface world, away from the tangle of dimensions that make up the caves he calls home

his resolve does not last as long as he had wished

as soon as he gets back to an outpost to take another hunt, he is asked by no less than 3 people how he was doing, if he was alright, what had happened…

mostly the people he interacted the most with, like ezma’s husband, david, who liked to move from outpost to make sure everything was alright or the tipsters who had gotten to know him through their usual “bartender witchcraft”, as david would put it

he is a bit overwhelmed but touched by the concern

the concern quickly melts away when he learns that the hunt he had been keeping an eye, for a pair of behemoth causing havoc in duscae, was taken, and by clarus nonetheless

from what he had gleaned before his retreat to taelpar crag, the man usually took his time to do recon on the bigger targets, which noctis hopes is true as he heads to the last place they were reported at

“get back!”

clarus’ body moves before the words register to his mind, the tone, cutting and commanding, leaving no room for disobedience

he jumps out of the monster’s way just in time to avoid the lightning storm aimed at the spot he was standing in just a second before

glancing back, he is startled to see noctis and not regis as he had first expected

and even more by the unsettling violet illuminating his eyes, so unlike aulea’s deeper blue

but he is sure of one thing now : noctis truly is a leonis

the elemancy is confirmation enough

the way he fights? definitely hammers the point home

the dodges, edged in red and gold compared to the traditional lucian blue; water and air being drawn to him as he fought, replenishing his reserves like he had seen aulea do countless times; the same precision and deadliness at the base of cor’s style; the way he focused his aura into the edges of his sword

and the sword in and of itself. he had only seen the likes of it in king mors and regis’ armiger. the lines, the carving, the runes. a sword worthy of the royal line

the shield understands why this man could go head head to head with monsters even hunter groups hesitated to face by himself and win

the first behemoth goes down without a hitch in a combination of lightning and fire, igniting the very air around it in glorious red and blue

the second one is more difficult, and flees in the face of the hunter’s power with only a scar left to prove that it survived his sword

when they are dealt with, noctis rounds on clarus

“what the hell were you thinking!?”

he is pissed off, and it shows

nobody is stupid or reckless enough to go after a mated pair on their own

even he was planning on asking for david’s or ezma’s help for that one

clarus is not cowed in the least by his wrathful stare, but he does seem to grow more uncomfortable by the second

which is how he figures out that he is injured

noctis’ bedside manners are not the best

he brusquely tells him to strip off so he can deal with the wound, and nearly starts tapping his feet in impatience when he is not listened to immediately

the shield does, reluctantly, not willing to try his luck with the clearly angry hunter, moreso that he used all of his recovery items during the fight

(a lifetime knowing aulea leonis will do that to you)

there is a pretty consequent clawmark on his back from where he got caught by surprise

drawing clean water from the nearby swamp, noctis starts cleaning the wound and encouraging the edges closed. lightning to stimulate healing, fire to clean, and he is set

the older man can damn nearly hear gilgamesh talking about a warrior’s pride and why it should be taken seriously, and it does not help his temper

the vague grumblings about pride makes the amicitia chuckle in spite of himself, which just puts noctis in a worse mood

when he is done, clarus catches him by the arm and thanks him

tells him that he owes him a debt, and that he could call on him whenever he wanted

the older hunter visibly restrains himself from refusing, and abruptly deflates after actually hearing gilgamesh

it’s good enough for clarus

for now

because he is damn well making sure to either bring regis/aulea to this unknown leonis, or to make him come to them

though he is not going to try his luck now, with how put out noctis looks

their second meeting is quite the exciting one

after getting back to insomnia, clarus seeks regis out to tell him about the interesting man he met, who fights and acts like a leonis

which prompts the crown prince to dig into the archive behind his father and the council’s back

aulea and cor were born to their father’s second wife, the first one having died 5 years before in the infiltration of one of niflheim’s biggest bases

she was a soldier in the king’s army known for her ability to modify magitek on the fly and transform it into devastating bombs when mixed with the king’s magic, explaining why she was given this mission

they did not find anything confirming her death, and she was pronounced killed in action

their father found out later while shifting through her personal effects that she had been 3 months pregnant at the time

it would not be out of the realm of possibility for her to have survived, explaining noctis’ existence

perhaps this was another one of niflheim’s schemes. how could they be sure?

regis is sceptical, but willing to hear clarus out and meet this supposed leonis

aulea, being aulea, learns of this and tells them she is coming along, no matter what they say

no way is she letting them deal with something concerning her family without her

so, it’s a group of three that leaves insomnia

meanwhile, noctis is still exploring eos, still doing hunts, but stays closer to human settlements because of the encroaching MTs

david doesn’t stop teasing him about that, because his friend finally connecting with someone else? unthinkable!

“so you like them younger, huh?”

“shut up dave”

“now you’ve just gone and dashed my dreams to pieces”

“i swear to the fucking six i will feed you to that coeurl.”

“hey now, let’s not get hasty, what would dave and ezma say?”

“she would agree with me. and dave would never find out how much of an idiot you truly are, i’m saving you some trouble.”

“wow, that’s cold.”

“oh hell, look what you’ve done, it’s coming our way now! you owe me so many drinks after this.”

the three lucians get to the outpost in the aftermath of this hunt, noctis laughing and poking fun at david, ezma judging both of them from where she is teaching dave proper weapon maintenance

aulea marches straight to him, because she wants to know

“aulea leonis, thanks for saving that knucklehead back there. he is an idiot and needs constant supervision, like that other one” she says as she jerks a thumb at her companions

there are definitely no indignant sounds in answer to that

noctis is bemused, but shakes the hand she thrust in front of his face

a quicksilver smirk unnoticed by everyone but her oldest friends crosses her face

because she got him exactly where she wanted him

a lot of things can lie, but not magic

and the way he instinctively starts drawing on the reserves she purposely left open is the sign she was waiting for

their timing couldn't have been better

when exhausted, a leonis tries to fill their their reservoirs of magic from everything around them, be it elements, deposits, or other wielders themselves

it cuts off as quick as it started, but noctis’ startled eyes meet hers, and he knows

“hello, brother. i wonder where you have been all those years.

regis and clarus are appalled by aulea’s lack of tact

noctis is not...shocked, per say. something inside of him knows it’s not the truth, which he tries to tell her

she is not having any of it

“you are a leonis, magic doesn't lie”

“even it it was so, that doesn't make me your brother”

“it does. only three of us were born with the gift in the last hundred years : my father, my brother and me. you can't be anything but blood.”

(the leonis’ blood is one that strengthens overtime, privileging a few members over the others to focus itself)

noctis shakes his head silently and goes back to healing david, trailing sparks of lightning on his skin as he forces the wound closed

“i don't have anything for you to settle your debt yet, clarus, if that’s what you are here for.”

the dismissal is clear

aulea prepares to argue more, but she is stopped by clarus’ hand on her shoulder

the hair, the face, the eyes, noctis and aulea are so similar, it’s eerie, is what regis thinks as he takes over

he is still wary, but there is something about the hunter that calls to him

the practiced detached look is evident to him, for having seen it many times in the mirror, but he forges on

“you could come back with us. family may be waiting for you at the end of it.”

“i have everything i need right here, thank you.”

“is there anything i can do to change your mind?”

“no.”

noctis thinks that everything is said and done at this point

oh, how wrong he is

he inherited his stubbornness from somewhere after all

“very well then. we’ll just have to convince you.”

and then they rent a motel room

noctis cannot believe this is his life

david is silent beneath his hands

“you sure you don’t want to see what this is about? not everyday you get an invite to insomnia’s upper echelon.”

“not interested.”

a smirk curls his lips after that, but just as he opens his mouth–

“ouch! what did you shock me for!?”

“whatever you were about to say, i don’t want to hear it.”

cue mock wrestling match

noctis may have the height advantage, but david is mean to make up for it

ezma wonders how she got saddled with this idiot sometimes

dave is alternatively cheering for his dad and noctis

really, what regis meant by convincing was “we’re going to accompany you on your hunts because this is apparently how you bond with people”

noctis is unimpressed, but lets them tag along

they are a pretty impressive bunch, really

lightning quick aulea with her rapier, magic at the tips of her fingers, as quick to laugh as she is to frown

cunning regis who refuses to give up no matter what, who moves in the air like he moves on earth

stoic clarus, unmovable as a rock, always ready to meet a challenge head on, and to pull the other two back when necessary

noctis hates to admit it, but they are growing on him

it’s the little moments, like regis holding them back for a second when he comes up with a new plan

clarus yelling at aulea when she nearly hit him with a spell and the sheepish shrug she gives him in return

regis and clarus watching noctis care for his sword, or the play of firelight on his earrings, the flex of his back as he trains with aulea, the glint of his jewelry at his hands and throat

laughing together over drinks as regis gets progressively more drunk and handsy around clarus

subtle around each other, those two are not, especially so far away from the city, and from its citizens’ constant judgement

aulea looks on in exasperated fondness and shares commiserating glances with noctis, who is looking on in amusement at regis’ uncharacteristic behaviour and his shield’s attempts at appearing unaffected

watching clarus unceremoniously carrying regis back totheir motel room is what makes noctis laugh around them for the first time, jacket thrown over his shoulder and hair tied back to deal with the heat

clarus and regis stop bantering for a bit, and it is when they think maybe

it’s a slow process, their trust, interrupted at times by aulea’s insistent questioning or noctis’ faraway gaze, his fingers lingering on either his sword’s sharp edge or the holstered blades at his thighs

their stay vary from a day to a week, the time they can spare until they are missed back in the city

after a while, weskham starts joining them, the butler both amused and worried by his friends’ constant absence

they click immediately, much to the three’s annoyance

weskham is too damn charming for anyone’s good, and not even noct is immune

telling him stories about aulea and regis’ shenanigans when they were younger, including the time regis inadvertently warped on top of a building and aulea climbed after him to get him down

kings mors didn’t stop laughing for 10 minutes straight when he found them

regis wants to hide his face in his hands, but he refrains from it. still does not help the blush when noct catches his eyes and his smile widens

this is not how he want to be noctis to see him dammit

from the corner of his eyes, he notices clarus hiding his smirk behind his class and kicks him in the chin

because they are ridiculous

but really, what actually manages to get him back to insomnia is cor, who learned about him from his sister and decided to see for himself after making sure that his sister is still in insomnia

cue tiny cor challenging noctis to a fight when he finds him

noctis is even less impressed than by his three usual tag-alongs and just freezes genji in its scabbard

“proof enough for you?”

cor is spluttering and really want to kill someone, preferably noctis

which does not happen because the hunter is not letting a child go back to insomnia by himself

the youngest leonis is offended but stops protesting when he gets a look scarily similar to aulea

he really doesn’t want to listen to him but as they journey back to the city, noctis starts teaching him little tricks which he starts using in spite of himself, like how to increase the amount of energy he can absorb from deposits, or how to maximize his aura and increase his strikes

pointedly showing that yes, he has magic, and to stop and listen for a second

because grumpy noct is grumpy and needs a nap

they make a stop by hammerhead to rest for the night before heading on to the crown city; cid takes one look at cor’s disgruntled face and noctis’ amused one and wants to go back to his cars

he settles for whacking cor on the head once and tells him how aulea was ready to search the countryside by herself to find him, which cor looks vaguely guilty for

and then he turns to the hunter, looks at him for a second and shakes his head

“so you’re the one the two idiots have been singing the praises of for months?”

“cid, i take it?”

“yeah, that’s me”

this is the beginning of beautiful friendship full of grumpiness and complaints

it’s great

cid tells noct to come on in and to take “the brat” with him while he’s at it

they end up sharing a meal together, which mainly consists of cid and noctis taking turns needling cor who tries (and fails) to stay stoic

cor and his self-assigned minder leave for insomnia the next day

cid is just wondering what kind of trouble regis and clarus got themselves into, because oh boy is noctis completely their type; it’s unnerving

he is too old to deal with this

the smallest leonis may or may not have hidden behind behind noctis at aulea’s unnervingly calm, “please open the gates, before i break them down for you.” when they arrived at the entrance of the crown city

that one was followed by a decidedly not calm death threat aimed at her brother

regis, clarus and her are waiting just behind the gates as they open slowly, still in their formal clothes from the council they hastily escaped once they got cid’s message

noctis enters insomnia, and never really leaves

no way are they letting him go now that he is finally there

and noctis is reluctant in the beginning, but damn if he didn’t get attached to them

so he stays, rejects aulea’s offer of an apartment, because she is the head of the family after her father’s death

she stopped trying to convince him about being her elder brother, because she saw how uncomfortable it made him, but he’s still added to the family register

noctis ends up renting an apartment in what would become the galahdian immigrant district in the future with the money he accumulated from hunts

they don’t even ask him about becoming a crownsguard, it wouldn’t fit him

he gets dragged to the citadel on most days when he is in the city, because they know he would either try to lose himself in the city or go back outside the if left to his own devices

sword and elemancy training with cor, because he got attached

wandering the gardens with regis as he vents about the council or expresses his worry about niflheim

getting conned into trying weskham’s new recipes

going out for drinks with clarus

aulea dragging him for an excursion in the city because “you’re too gloom for your own good”

generally making sure that he does not end up like cid

which noctis bitches about to the man in question. he is not sympathetic at all to his plight and mostly laughs at him

regis and clarus stare when they see him in casual clothes, because noctis looks that much wilder when compared to the other lucians. his hair pulled back from his face, the small galahdian braids at his temple used to keep everything in place, the piercings and accessories that caught and held people’s attention as they enjoyed the city’s night life, the small knives he kept hidden on his person just in case. just, noctis

(noctis does not remember who taught him those twists in the first place, only calloused hands gently running through his hair, arm wrapped around a bare calf, hand following the lines of a tattoo. a soft memory he keeps alive by rebraiding his hair in this fashion, letting his fingers work as he closes his eyes)

their first kiss happens in the green lands surrounding the city, the three of them sitting by one of the small ponds hidden amongst the trees

noctis is warm and comfortable between them, leaning against clarus’ shoulders and looking up at the sky, pointing out constellations to them

regis makes the first step, touching him on the back to catch his attention before leaning in for a kiss

the panic that springs in him is more distant than usual, because he wants this. he doesn’t see why anyone would want him, who had nothing except three blades and a name, but oh how he wants

then, it’s clarus’ turn, turning noctis’ face and catching it in his hands before kissing him, slow and careful, unlike regis’ surer nips and teases

the leonis lets go, stops thinking and enjoys the moment

a lot happens during those war torn years, but mostly they are happy

niflheim can still be held in check by the old wall, leaving them free to travel, even more so with regis grown and able to protect himself

he wouldn’t have accepted staying caged in the city, which is a caelum if anyone has ever heard of one

mors sees noctis in action while he is training with aulea, clarus and regis, red and gold haze surrounding his sword as he danced around the prince’s warp strikes, blades seemingly jumping to his hand as he countered aulea’s magic with his own and singing as they cut through the air to intercept clarus’ strikes

which is how he ends up accompanying the king to the front lines as he fights to reach the lucii statues maintain the wall protecting lucis from niflheim

mors “the tower” lucis caelum, a beast of a man whose favoured weapon is a bow, shooting down soldiers and daemons by the dozens from afar

(the bow of the tower : this weapon belonged to the king who held strong against an invasion, sacrificing lands to save the kingdom's heart)

noctis finally letting aulea and cor call him their older brother

“what will you do if i disappear one day? i won’t always be there to help.” noctis asks during one of their training trip outside of the city, to get cor more experience, which everyone else invite themselves to

cor just frowns at him in reproach

“don’t be ridiculous, i will always find you”

noctis grins and drags him closer, messing his hair up and knocking his beret askew

“what would i do without my tenacious little brother, huh?”

cor tries to push him away half-heartedly, badly hiding a smile while aulea is laughing, arm wound around noctis’ waist

weskham chooses that time to take a picture, and it’s the one cor will keep for years

the leonis family, smiling together

getting taken on fishing trips by regis and clarus, using the opportunity to visit david, ezma and little dave, as well kimya when they go to malmalam thicket for some of wesky’s ingredients

aulea throwing him to the sharks by making him her escort during most of the official functions she attends, because she is enabler and likes making her friends suffer

jealousy and wandering hands in dark corners of a ballroom may or may not happen when noctis in a suit makes his first appearance

helping him out of it is just as good, in regis and clarus’ opinion

but all things must end one day

noctis knows it, because the wall holding back his memories starts to break down, and he hears the lucian souls’ whispers more clearly than before, one of them tugging at his heartstrings with how familiar they (he) sound

when cor expresses the desire to pass the trial, noctis and clarus accompany him

if he is a little more frantic, a little more tender during the last night he shares with his lovers, well, it’s his secret to bear

trying to engrave the sight in his mind, knowing he would never see it again

cor and noctis walk parallel to each other across the dimensions, cor going through the trials led before him and noctis walking to his resting place

as the youngest leonis and gilgamesh battle, noctis finds himself back at the place he first appeared in, on the altar in the middle of the lake

pulling out his sword, the sword of the father he remembers now, he unwinds the prayer banner that kept it tied to him from the hilt and leaning, his forehead one last time on its cold metal, says his goodbye

the sword of the last, the sword of the lover, the sword of the father

two blades meeting in the middle and crossing paths in the stream of time

in insomnia, regis’ armiger appears around him, thirteen blades circling him

when cor takes gilgamesh’s arm, noctis slips back into slumber, to await his time

the waters swallow him, and with him disappears all memories of noctis leonis, events slowly warping at the edge to erase his presence

there is a reason why a leonis’ eyes are blue

the owner of the voice he had heard so many time appears to him as he sinks into the, and the last king of lucis remembers

a roguish smile and pale blue eyes, tattoos he had traced so many times

“welcome back, little king”

and he sleeps

when the king of light sacrifices himself to bring dawn back, noctis, no longer a caelum, not truly, awakens, and gilgamesh greets him

“without the crystal my brother gave his life for, without the ring that adorned your hand, you are mine more than his, lost one; my own”

gilgamesh, founder of the leonis line, the first king’s brother, and his shield

the one who willingly lost his name to better protect his brother, and eos’ future

a family history mired in loss, eyes forever reflecting the blue waters of the tempering grounds; to remember, and to forget

“even if everything you know disappears, even if you are left adrift in time, you will always find a place here”

across eos, events shift back into place, and memories break through the pane of glass they had been hidden behind; in leide, in duscae, in altissia

cor is waiting for him as he emerges from the welcome darkness of the caves

“i told you i would always find you.”

noctis smiles a little at this, both happy and sad. because the life he had left was no more, all the people he had known dead and gone

(a father, a lover, which one came first, which one came last)

to be continued
