#i use to rent a lot of games there as a kid. sometimes good. sometimes bad.

[scaredybunny]

Overly affectionate daddies are more my flavour, but there is something insanely hot about strict and emotionally distant dads.

Like how some parents make their kids pay rent, well, you're too young to get a job, so you're going to help out your father in another way.

"As far as I'm concerned, as long as you live under my roof, I own you. You're in debt to me for every meal you've had. For now, you can pay that off by being a good boy and sucking my cock."

You're too scared of him to put up much of any resistance. So every day, sometimes multiple times a day, he tells you to kneel and open your mouth, and you obey. Most of the time, it's after he comes back from work, he's dead tired, and all he wants is to watch the game and unload into his son's mouth. This is your least-hated method of 'paying your debt'. He's usually not as active or aggressive, he doesn't often try to deepthoat you, or even really rutt into our face. Of course, this means you have to do more work, but that's not so bad, all things considered. He'll usually complement you afterward, "good boy" or "god, your lips are so soft." Once in a while, he'll even want to cuddle afterward. You know, theoretically, you should hate him touching you, but he's so rarely affectionate that when you curl up under his arm and lean on his chest, you can convince yourself you have a normal relationship.

However, sometimes your father wakes up horny, then you have so suck him off before school. This experience is usually a lot faster, but it is always more aggressive. You learn to not eat breakfast until you know if your dad wants to fuck your throat or not, as otherwise you will be cleaning that breakfast off the kitchen floor, and then both your dad and your mum are pissed at you. Oh, yeah, your mum is fine with this whole arrangement. She prefers your siblings and seems to enjoy having some more spare time now that your father is pumping your mouth full of cum instead of her's. So, about once a week, the breakfast table will be occupied by your mum, your younger and older siblings, all trying to ignore the gluck gluck gluck of your dad getting rid of his morning wood. This also often results in you missing the train to school, and your dad needing to drive you. He only volunteers to do this so he can get another round out of you in a nearby alley. "If you had sucked me off properly the first time, I would have came quick. Now you're making both of us late."

The worst is the weekend. Not restricted by fatigue or time, your dad gets creative. At first, he would just lie you on your stomach, face off the edge of your bed. He your hold your hands behind your back with one hand and spank your ass with the other. All while slowly thrusting into your throat. In recent months, he's gotten into bondage, costumes, and most alarming to you: reciprocation. The bondage is not too different from your usual sessions, not like you were going to fight him off anyway. The costumes a a bit humiliating, his favorite seems to be an adult woman's sexy easter bunny Halloween costume, it doesn't really fit. "You'll grow into it." Maybe partly, but the cups in the babydoll dress will remain empty. You had been on puberty blockers and testosterone for a few years; he knew this. He paid for it. Once you asked him if he wanted you to be a girl. All the feminine outfits, it's an understandable conclusion to come to. He slapped you and told you not to insult him like that. He was pretty riled up. After he had cum he said that he likes a skirt to flip up, pretty pink undies and garters. It didn't matter that a boy was wearing them. That was what "got him going". When you asked about the bunny costume, specifically, he said, "I like the ears." he was lying. You both knew that. Bunny had been your nickname when you were small, well, smaller. You don't really remember how it started, something about you jumping a lot after learning to walk. You had been suspecting this for a while, but for some reason, this is what confirmed it for you. You weren't just 'any port in a storm'. Some obedient but completely interchangeable hole for your dad to unload in. He wanted you specifically. Maybe for a long time.

Once he had you lying on your back, in the bunny costume. He fliped up the dress and spanked your pussy a few times, before noticing the wet patch on your pink undies. Humiliation burned in you as he laughed. "Looks like I'm not the only one enjoying this, you filthy little tart!" Then, to your horror, he started rubbing you. Rubbing and fingering and slapping your little boy pussy. Eventually, he was 69ing you. You had your first orgasm with your dad's cock stuffed in your mouth. The one benefit of the weekend was that your dad was more often affectionate afterwards. This was the only reason he answered your questions so candidly. Mostly, you just cuddled. Before you had this arrangement, you couldn't remember the last time your dad hugged you. Now he was holding you, stroking your hair, saying how good you were, "Such an obedient son." This is what stopped you from running away. You could endure the humiliation and filth. If your dad kept calling you "My good boy."

This was meant to be a short post lol. Guess inspiration struck lol.

Fairy tail headcannon a nobody wanted at all😊

- most of the dragon slayers+erza eat bugs regularly and it's gross AF to everyone

-Natsu because he grew up in the woods and they were like the number one abundant source of food, same for Wendy but she stopped for a while because Carla told her it was nasty (as soon as she joined the fairy tail guild she reverted so incredibly fast)

-gajeel pretends to thinks it's gross but secretly he really likes the taste he just doesn't wanna have that in common with natsu

- erza and Erik because in the evil slave tower where everyone was starving if you found a bug you ate it before anyone else could grab it from you.

- sting did not do that growing up but started when natsu told him it was good, he does not agree but does it anyway so natsu thinks he's cool

- rogue only tried it a couple times because frosch wanted to try it to be more like a frog and rogue is nothing if not supportive

- laxus grew up normal and thinks all of them are disgusting

- Lucy has the WORST financial skills. Legit they are awful. Everyone thinks she's always broke cuz of the tpd (team property damage) constantly making them lose their reward to repair bills but (while that is a factor) when Lucy sees smth cute that would look great in her apartment she just cannot help herself. Lucy will be so careful trying to save her money then she'll see a new set of stationary and goes "haha rent what rent"

- the hand me down game at fairy tail was fucking insane when they where kids. For levy and lisanna basically everything they owned had been passed down like 6 times already

- that red shirt natsu wore in the flashbacks? Before him it was erza's, and before her it was canas, and before her it was laxus.

- gray wears almost exclusively white jackets because jackets are expensive and if he loses them he would rather they be easy to spot so he can find them again rather then have to buy a new one

- sometimes people will invite erza places for the scary dog privilege when they dont want to be bothered by strangers. Erza has no idea thats the reason she just thought people really liked walking with her through rough parts of town in the middle of the night.

- Carla and lilly have insane beef, for no damn reason. Like both of them are fairly polite so neither will say it openly but every conversation between the two is the most passive aggressive petty insult battle you could imagine

- freed, levy, Lucy and later jellal have a book club where they all meet up and talk about whatever they're reading and play Scrabble and talk a lot of shit about their annoying ass friends.

- happy sometimes comes but he is under no circumstances allowed to bring natsu(he knows what he did)

- when erza met seigrain/jellal in the magic counsel she first tried to attack him, when that proved to be a bad idea she later started specifically destroying stuff under his jurisdiction to make sure he had to deal with as much paperwork as possible

- for her modelling, Mira used to use a very light spray of holy water to remove body hair because it burns it off💀

- wendy romeo and chelia are actually best friends like they are constantly hanging out together just to go do stuff

- erza and Erik hate each other for no reason at all. Like over that year that she worked with crime sorciere they where ALWAYS BEEFING. Every time they were near each other erza was thinking insults she knew he could hear and Erik was fighting for his life not to strangle her to death.

When erza became sclass she used to sit on the 5th step of the stairs because Mira wasn't allowed on those stairs yet and it really pissed her off. She was like, just barely out of reach, so Mira would stand at the bottom the stairs yelling death threats at her and erza would be like "whattt I'm not doing anything I don't even know what your talking about in literally just sitting what are you so mad about"

- when Warren invented cellphones, despite all of them looking like modern smartphones, freed somehow managed to get one that looked exactly like a Blackberry and refuses to get a different one

- Mira used to cut her siblings hair and because she didn't know any good haircuts yet her 2 options where 1- bald or 2- bowl cut. Hence lisannas horrifying cut as a child

*Slaps the table*

Calvin Fischoeder headcanons!

His full name is Calvin-Percival Robert Fischoeder Jr. when he was a kid some people called him Cal,Vinnie,or Perci.Or junior if it was by his parents or an elder family member(live laugh love Calvin with a double barrel name)

He's 64 years old(Felix I imagine is 59 or in his late 50s so he and Calvin aren't too far apart in age,I imagine them being a little under 4 years apart)

His father is a German immigrant(though he frequently traveled to Switzerland and Austria to live with family for some times before he moved to america.)He(as his the father) spoke german whilstt he still alive,he forced Calvin to learn.Calvin in his day to day life doesn't use German that much ,but when he wants to confused people,or when he gets angry or feels any other intense emotional,or just when he feels like it he speaks German.He's still fluent.

In Calvin's younger years before he went gray he was a ginger.He had a lighter shade though.Because of this He or Felix will joke about him having no soul(Grover also would've joked about it but Calvin and Felix would act like that's not funny around Grover and act like grover's insensitive just to mess with him)

He learned how to ice-skate to simply spite Felix.

When he was a kid he took ballet,tap,and piano.He was expected to do more than Felix since he's the eldest child.(Felix only took Ballet)

He has 7 younger siblings because just because(headcanons are fun)

His mother died when he was 16.Every year on her birthday he spends the whole day at her grave,and spends most of the day without his eyepatch on.He brings a cake and some flowers there,and pretends like he's speaking to her. On the day she died he also spends a lot of the day there,he doesn't spend as long there as her birthday since its more sad for him,he brings flowers and he also leaves a shot of her favorite spirit. He doesn't do any of his landlord duties or any of his jobs that day.

He definetly has an alchohol problem (this isn't really hc since this is really backed up in the show)

He was allowed to drink when he was a kid.(I think this is also implied in canon and it just seems really in character for him)

He's tried to grow facial hair several times but he cant ,its always been very pathetic facial hair.And at some point he just gave up.When Felix brings up that Calvin doesn't have any facial hair he says he just didn't want to grow any instead of the fact he cant grow facial hair

He started a fake religion in his late teens to associate with his father's businesses to try and get them registered as non profits so he and his father wouldn't need to pay taxes.(much like what the kids do in with aquatisicm.)

Throughout the majority of his childhood aside from the earlier years of his childhood he played baseball,he continued to play baseball until his mid to late 20s during in college years

He killed Baxter.

He had kids,he wasnt the best father nor was in very present in his daughters lives but he was there for the when they really needed them (he would've had his 2 daughters sometime after Shelby left him so I would imagine the latter years of his 20s or his early 30s.He would've had his kids with a partner he had at the time which I need to develop a bit more.)He also definitely played favorites with his kids like his dad did with him and felix.

Him and Felix eat dinner together every night.

He and Felix frequently has a movie night which alot of the time Felix ends up getting to pick it because Felix somehow always manages to win a game they play to decide who gets to picks(which Felix usually chooses to watch a musical,most of the time ,Rent.)

Game night with Calvin an Felix always ends up with one of them getting injured.(Inga is very annoyed with that)

He took part in raising Grover :3(he was not good at it)

His favorite color is actually red but the suit he usually wears belonged to his father

Calvin's favorite animals are squriells are pidgeons and he meant to get into pigeonry but just had never gotten around to it.his favorite pidgeons are Lahore pigeons.

He's a cat person

"A downpayment for your love" - Rafayel x Reader

Here you can keep up with this fanfic: Part 2

*** This is a fanfiction based on the Love and Deepspace mobile game. The original story has been altered according to what I had in mind regarding a love scenario with Rafayel. In this, the MC (aka you, the reader, hi there) did not grow up with Zayne. I will try to write it gender neutral, but it will have more feminine takes on you as the MC of my story. ***

You were always poor. Especially after the wanderer attack 14 years ago, when you lost your family. You were left to fend for yourself. Sure, people from the community that knew your parents tried to help you while growing up, but it was never for free. Everybody had to pull in their weight one way or another. You had to either take care of their kids or their houses, make yourself useful in a way.

You learned at a very young age that everything has a price in this world. Even as a young tween, you would often dream about what life would have been if the attack never took place. Maybe your parents would have been the ones working their asses off in order to provide for you, like the other parents in the community are doing for their offsprings.

Growing up, you would look at the families you worked for, wishing sometimes that it was you in their children's place. You were happy to be able to work for your future and collect money, but something deep inside always yearned for the comfort of a family and financial support. It didn't matter anymore, you learned to hide that deep inside, hoping that one day your kids will never have to feel what you have been through. You were putting in all this hardwork for your future family.

You worked through your teenage years. You were always booked, therefore you hadn't had much time to spare for a higher education, or any education at all. Working various jobs, you managed to rent yourself a small studio flat at the ripe age of 18. This way you stopped depending on your parents' friends, finally starting to live on your own and start preparing for your future family.

After working in a few bakeries and trading goods, you decided to focus on just caretaking jobs that would include cleaning and cooking for the elderly, sometimes babysitting. You found out that this was an area that suited you best. After all, you were a very caring person with a big heart. You were longing to fill the void, even if you had to do it by taking care of other people's needs. At least you were getting paid for that and hell, you needed all the money you could get.

"Hey, (Y/N)! How's business?" One of your childhood friends asked. You were taking care of their family's bakery shop for the weekend.

"Depends, mine or yours? I'd say good since I managed to snatch a few clients from your regulars." You said winking jokingly. "Not a lot of people came by today. Maybe tomorrow. I will make sure to stock the bread properly so it doesn't go stale until your dad comes back. I still don't know how to bake properly, so I will sell the stock you've left for this weekend." You smiled at your friend.

"Don't worry about it too much. You are doing us a huge favour by keeping the bakery open for us while we are away." Your friend smiled as they brought in another basket of freshly baked goods. "This should be enough until sunday."

You gave a small nod, cleaning the counter. You were happy to be helpful, even if you worked for free this time. They did provide a shelter for you while growing up, you want to pay them back in your own way.

"Haven't gotten many gigs lately?" Your friend asked as they wiped their hands on a rag.

"I got one new gig, in Linkon. There is an old lady needing a caretaker. I am going on a trial on monday, her granddaughter said she will pay me for that day." You explained eagerly. Indeed, on your terms you were finally breaking through. You made it all the way to Linkon City! Sure, it's a 3 hours train trip, but you were finally able to work in the city, were opportunities to find rich clients were endless.

"Isn't that too little for the 3 hours trip? Your rate is not gonna be able to cover the cost." Your friend hummed, not sure if you made the right choice.

You eyes gleamed with pride. "It's in Linkon, and the payment is 5 times my rate!" For you it was a lot, but for a normal Linkon citizen it was quite a small price. But then again, you were working in a very unfortunate village to begin with, you were not aware that you could win more than that for the services you gave out.

"No way! We barely make that in 3 days, yet you make it in one day?!" Your friend was stunned.

You smiled happily. You were now sure that you finally made it. You felt it in your bones, your luck was about to change!

----------

It was monday morning. You left your village at 4 in the morning to get to Linkon City at 7 o'clock sharp. You were supposed to get to the client's house around 10:30 in the morning, so you wanted to make sure that you will find your way in time. You were hired by a young woman around your age. She is starting her career as a Deepspace Hunter and her grandmother is growing weak, so she wants someone to be by her side while she is away during the day. You were on trial for the dsy and if everything went well, you could be coming in almost everyday. You were excited. You were wearing your church clothes, in hopes to make a good first impression. With the money you were gonna get for the first day, you could buy material to make at least 2 new dresses. Your village is extremely cheap, so for you, today's payment was like a lottery win.

You were walking around and gawking. Everything looked like a dream. You could not believe your eyes the contrast between Linkon City and your village. Your village looked like a nuclear waste field compared to this city. You were starting to feel like you were out of place, as your clothes were really old and sewn together to last longer.

Finally, you arrived at your client's house. It was 10 o'clock. Better to be early than late. You approached the door and gave it a knock.

"Ah, coming!" You heard a woman's voice. Judging by the youthfull tone, you thought this might be the granddaughter that hired you. "Hello, this is-..." The door opened to reveal a thin girl with brown hair. She looked at you with a smile as she presented herself. You quickly bowed your head, straightening the material of your clothes.

"H-Hello, this is (Y/N)! You hired me to care for your grandmother." You explained a bit nervous. As you stood up, the girl smiled at you warmly.

"Perfect, you are early!" She chuckled a bit. Her remark made you feel flustered, maybe you should've waited 30 more minutes. "Come in. It's good you came early, I got a call from the Hunters Association, I have to go in earlier than normal. You coming earlier gives me a chance to also meet you before entrusting you with grandma." She smiled.

Her words were reassuring, her voice and antics making you feel welcomed. You walked inside, shy, folliwing her around the house. She took you to the living room where an old lady was sat in a green armchair.

"Grandma, this is (Y/N). She is here to look after you while I'm away." The girl walked next to her grandma and leaned forward to talk to her, while taking hold of her hand gently. The old lady looked at you, squinting her eyes before putting on her glasses. She smiled once she was able to finally make out your face.

"Oh, hi, dear." The old lady smiled gently. "I am Josephine, it is nice to meet you. My, but your blouse reminds me of how my daughter used to dress when she was around your age." She said genuinely excited. It took you by surprise, and it made you feel a bit self conscious, but you smiled politely.

You sat and chat for half an hour, before Josephine's granddaughter had to leave. Things seemed to workout properly, so you were excited for the actual work to finally start. Once it was only you and Josephine you got in the 'zone', started cleaning up around the house, made food for Josephine and made sure to prepare dinner so her granddaughter had something for when she came home later at night.

You chatted with the old lady and helped her walk around the neighbourhood. You listened to her as she would tell you stories from her youth and sharing wisdom. Of course, you also answered her questions as she tried to find out more about you and your life.

"Poor little thing." Josephine cooed as you helped her sit down on her armchair. You perked your head up, puzzled. "My granddaughter lost her parents too after that unfortunate day, 14 years ago... I took care of her as if she was my own." The old lady went on, her voice warm and comforting. "Even though you went through all that, you managed to keep yourself a clean soul." She smiled at you as she place a hand over yours, keeping you in place, next to her side. "Never taint your heart, my dear, not even for money. I'm sure one day, God will answer to all your prayers." Her words warmed up your heart, almost bringing you to tears. You were glad to have met such a kind person.

"Thank you, Josephine. Hope he will take care of all of us." You muttered in return quietly, holding in big emotions.

After that day, you were called in regularily. You would go there almost everyday, always finishing by 4 in the afternoon, making it in time for taking care of your other clients back in the village.

One day, as you were getting ready to leave Josephine's house for the day, her granddaughter came earlier than usual.

"Hi, (Y/N)!" She greeted you. She walked in followed by a man with light brown hair in a gray suit. Before you could greet her back, she started talking to the man. "I will bring it right away, I didn't even realise he hid it in my bag!" She exclaimed rushing upstairs.

"Artists, always temperamental, always causing ruckus." The man said with a sigh, folding his arms in front of him. "I am deeply sorry to bother you about it, but he threw a tantrum over it not being in his studio anymore." The man pinched the bridge of his nose. "I can't be there 24/7, I have to go and take care of the business part, make sure he sells and promotes the right charities."

You listened closely. Everything the man spoke about sonded so strange to you. 'Business' and 'charities' were words thrown in your favourite shows by rich people. You were curious to find more, but you were in no position to ask. You tended to Josephine until her granddaughter was free so you could bid her good night before leaving.

"Here you go." Josephine's granddaughter came back downstairs. She was holding on to a big toy-like charm that looked like a puffer fish. "Why'd he hide it in my bag?" She asked, her brows furrowed in annoyance.

"If I knew how his brain was wired, I'd break it open and rewire it properly." The man answered, exasperated. "I'm so grateful, you have no idea. He is starting to get worse, throwing tantrums over tantrums. The studio is always a mess and he never seems to eat properly. The man has access to ordering anything his heart desires, yet he acts as if it's a mystery to pick up the damn phone!" The man boomed, letting out his frustration. He took a sharp breath in and rubbed his eyes with his palm. "Again, I'm really sorry to dump all this on you, but I'm starting to get to my wit's end. It's like he needs a babysitter. Even this 'bodyguard' charade, it's just him acting out. Why does he need so much attention? Why is he getting worse?"

"I'm sorry, Thomas. I see that you care about him, it's okay to feel frustrated. You shouldn't feel bad. Maybe you should get him an actual babysitter." Josephine's granddaughter laughed as she said the last sentence, patting the man gently on the shoulder. "At least for the weekend, so you can finally rest."

"There's no person in this world capable to put up with his insufferable temper." The man named Thomas groaned.

You were growing a bit impatient, as it was starting to be a little over 4 o'clock and you were about to lose the train back. "Excuse me, miss-..." You started awkwardly, trying to sound polite.

"Oh, (Y/N)!" The young woman said your name, almost as if she forgot you were there, and smiled as she shook her head. "Oh, my god!" She clasped a hand on Thomas's shoulder excited, then turned back to look at you. "(Y/N), do you have experience with toddlers?" She asked, hopeful. Thomas looked at her confused. "(Y/N) takes care of my grandmother, she is amazing!" She explained.

"Are you sure you want her to still work for you? Don't send her my way or you might lose her after she spends one hour with him." The man pinched the bridge of his nose again, groaning. "He is capable to ruin everything when he puts his mind to it." He sighed.

You were a bit shocked, the man seemed to have issues with his father. You figured it must be his old father on the verge of dementia, causing a lot of trouble. You were experienced with such cases, especially with the ones that act out like todlers.

"I have worked with dementia patients before." You answered smiling, hoping to snatch another job. From the sound of it, you could make a lot of money if the job went well, they sounded rich. At least this Thomas fellow looked rich.

Josephine's granddaughter and Thomas remained frozen for a moment. The young woman started laughing, while Thomas huffed amused and shook his head.

"Sounds perfect. Thomas, would you like to give it a try?" She chuckled as she nudged the man.

"I didn't think this day would come. I mean, I knew it might happen, but not so soon." He said, defeated. "Are you free this weekend?"

*** Hi hello, leaving a little note. I will write this as a multiple part story. Not sure if it will get anyone's attention, but in case you made it this far, hope you enjoyed this. Thank you for giving this a chance and I will try my best to not disappoint.

I'm not sure if anyone is OOC, maybe Josephine, but hey, in my version, roles are a bit reversed and Josephine and the game's MC are normal people, while YOU, my MC, are special ☆

Single Hearts Part 3- Play Dates That Turn To Real Dates

Summary - Sage and Jack have a play date for their kids, Charlotte and Melody, and during the play date, Jack asks Sage on an actual date.

As much as Jack and Sage wanted Charlotte and Melody’s play date to be that weekend, Sage had already made plans to go to Lexington, Kentucky for the weekend with Charlotte to visit family. Luckily, they were both free the next weekend, and Jack ended up renting out a nearby children’s arcade for a couple of hours.

Jack and Sage pulled into the arcade’s parking lot at the same time, helping their kids out of the car before Charlotte and Melody ran to hug each other. They had recess together at school and ever since they learned about their play date they had been best friends. Jack and Sage followed closely behind their daughters.

“Hey, how are you?” Jack asked as he approached Sage.

“I’m good, how are you?” Sage asked.

“I’m great, Melody has been talking non-stop about this play date,” Jack said and Sage laughed softly.

“So has Charlotte. Are we here early?” Sage asked, since the usually full parking lot was empty.

“No, I uh, I rented out the arcade for a few hours. Since I’m in the music industry, sometimes people recognize me, and I didn’t want you or Charlotte to have to deal with that. Melody and I are used to it, but it can be weird at first.”

“You didn’t have to do that, but thank you. Can I pay you back for half?” Sage asked and Jack immediately shook his head.

“No, don’t worry about it.”

“Daddy, can we go in now?” Melody asked, pulling on Jack’s arm.

“Yeah, let’s go,” Jack said as Melody and Charlotte cheered, running to the door. 

Once they were inside, Jack confirmed their reservation, getting both kids their bands. They let the kids run around, playing whatever games they wanted, as they sat on a nearby bench so they could supervise.

“So, if I remember right, you said you were from Nashville?” Jack asked and Sage nodded.

“Yeah, I grew up there, my parents moved to Lexington when I was 19, and I stayed behind but ended up moving to Lexington shortly after I had Charlotte, then a couple of years later I’m living here now.”

“You know, I can totally hear a slight Tennessee accent when you talk,” Jack said, and Sage laughed.

“That’s so funny that you pointed it out because everyone else says I’ve lost my accent over time.”

“It’s slight, but it’s there.”

“So, you say you’re in the music industry, what exactly do you do?” Sage asked, bringing the topic off of herself.

“Uh, I’m a rapper,” Jack said. He wasn’t planning on telling Sage exactly what he did until she got to know him better. “It’s not a big deal or anything though.”

“That’s so cool, though, what’s the thing you’re most proud of? Or like your biggest achievement?” Sage asked.

“Off of the top of my head? Probably my Grammy nominations.”

“Wait, that’s so exciting and a huge deal Jack. Don’t underestimate yourself like that.”

“I just don’t want to, I don’t know, sometimes it’s hard to meet people when you’re famous.”

“Yeah, I understand that, but you still don’t have to downplay yourself. You’re allowed to brag about your accomplishments.”

Melody and Charlotte came running over to where Jack and Sage were sitting.

“Mommy, come play with us!” Charlotte said, pulling on Sage’s arm.

“Yeah, Daddy, help us with the basketball game,” Melody said. Jack and Sage got up, following their daughters. Once they reached the game the girls wanted to play, Jack picked up Melody so she was tall enough to throw the ball into the hoop.

“Mommy, pick me up too!” Charlotte said and Sage picked her up. As soon as the game started counting down, the girls started throwing the basketballs. They both got one in.

“Mommy and Melody’s daddy’s turn!” Charlotte said.

“You can call me Jack,” Jack told Charlotte, and she nodded.

“Mommy and Jack’s turn,” Charlotte said. 

“Yeah!!” Melody agreed. Jack and Sage set their daughters down. 

“Just so you know, I’m a pretty good basketball player,” Jack said, teasingly.

“I haven’t played basketball since elementary school when we were forced to,” Sage said, both her and Jack laughing.

They started the game, both of their daughters cheering for them to win. Jack purposely missed a couple shots, letting Sage win. Charlotte cheered excitedly, celebrating with Sage, before the girls ran off to play another game.

“You let me win, didn’t you?” Sage asked Jack.

“I couldn’t let you lose in front of your daughter,” Jack said, pushing her shoulder jokingly. Sage leaned against the arcade machine.

“Yeah, or you’re not as good of a basketball player as you claim to be,” She teased.

“Okay, okay, now that’s going too far,” Jack joked.

“I’ll apologize when I see proof otherwise,” Sage joked.

“To be fair, I’m better at soccer, but I’ll prove it to you one day.”

“I’ll be waiting.”

“And I’ll be waiting for you to let me take you on a date. A proper date, without the kids.” Jack said, and Sage looked at him confused.

“Aren’t you and Penelope married, or dating, something?” Sage asked, and Jack laughed softly, shaking his head.

“No, we used to be married, but we got divorced about five years ago when Melody was two,” Jack explained.

“Oh, I just assumed since you two seem so, I don’t know the word, you just don’t seem divorced.”

“A lot of people think that at first, but nothing really happened between us, we just both realized we weren’t right for each other, I mean, it was awkward for a little while of course, but we’ve gotten over that now.”

“Well, in that case, I’ll go on a date with you.”

“How about tomorrow night? If Charlotte’s dad can’t watch her, or anyone else, since it's so last minute, Penelope offered to watch her, if you’re comfortable with that.”

“Yeah, if she’s okay with it, I think that would be best. Her dad’s not involved and all my family is in 

Lexington, I’m sure one of my friends would watch her, but Melody and her seem to be enjoying their time together, so I’m sure they’d love another play date.”

“Her dad isn’t in the picture at all? Sorry, that’s inappropriate of me to ask, forget I even said anything.”

“No, I don’t mind talking about it. Char’s dad and I broke up shortly after I found out I was pregnant, he had cheated on me. He stayed involved for most of my pregnancy, until maybe a month or so before I had her. He chose to not be involved since. I’ve given him several opportunities, I let him know when I was in labor, when she was born, everything, but I can’t force him to be involved. I still give him opportunities to this day to be involved, but he always chooses not to be, so I just don’t tell her about it.”

“I’m so sorry, I can’t even imagine doing that to someone and just living my life like my own child doesn’t exist.”

“I don’t get it either, but I can only do so much, and I guess it’s better that he’s not involved rather than being in and out so she doesn’t know about it.”

“Yeah, and I can already tell you are an amazing mom, neither you nor Charlotte need someone like him anyway.”

Before Sage could respond, Melody and Charlotte ran up to their parents.

“You ask.” Melody said to Charlotte.

“No, you. You’re older.” Charlotte argued and Melody sighed.

“Can we get ice cream?”

“Yeah, we can.” Jack agreed before looking over at you, you pulled out your phone to look at the time.

“Yeah, we have time to get ice cream,” Sage said, and the girls cheered.

“Want to go now? You can keep playing, but we only have about 10 more minutes here.”

“Now!” Both girls said excitedly. Jack and Sage nodded as Charlotte and Melody ran to the door. Jack held the door open for them and as Sage walked out the door, her hand brushed Jack’s, both of their hearts fluttering as they pretended not to notice.

[wulfums]

Hihi! Do you have any fan-episode ideas for Rick and Klaus? I love hearing about their dynamics and stuff :0

And also! What sort of relationship does Rick have with The Smiths, Roger, and Rogu?

(Megzscribbleznwordz, this is just my main ^^!)

I DOOOOOOOO

Ill start with his relationships so my ep summarys make more sense hehe also this is going to be long as hell just a heads up

Roger and Rick do NOT get along. For a while its just a genuine hatred of each other but as they get more used to each other and Roger realizes that no, Rick is not going to replace him as the familys Flamboyant Weird Creature, it becomes a more friendly rivalry that they both keep up because its funny and they're too committed to the bit now. Rick is involved with a few of Roger's personas, bcuz its the only way he can get into most craft stores. Rick is banned from some of them and especially Hobby Lobby </3 So he is one of Roger's personas ESA (Hes not happy about it but it works.)

Rick regularly babysits Rogu!! Rogu loves him he's like one of Rogu's fav family members. Rick is just really good with kids in general. Though when he babysits Rogu, he has to deal with Klaus constantly beefing with this 2 year old. Klaus also sometimes gets jealous if hes not the center of Rick's attention so that...doesn't help.

Rick finds Stan offputting and doesn't really get him. Stans just happy this guy actually pays rent! Overall they don't interact a lot, but because Rick knows everyone at the CIA sometimes he is involved with Stan plotlines that involve that.

Francine and Rick get along VERY well! They're friends for sure. Rick is also an honorary member of Mom's Club because he has babysat most of the younger kids in town at LEAST once. He regularly babysits Libby for Greg specifically. Francine does sometimes try to point out guys Rick should get with instead of Klaus because she truly does NOT understand why Rick likes him so much. She also gets wayyyy too nosy and intrusive and Rick and Klaus' personal lives.

Steve likes Rick! Rick doesn't know shit abt science or the intricacies of tech but will listen so Steve can just. Infodump. Rick also does refs for Steve and his friends DnD characters for their games too, for free. Out of everyone in the house Steve could consider a cool uncle, its Rick. Safe to safe to say its another reason Roger hates Rick. Rick is also the one who encourages Steve to finally confess to Snot before they start dating. Meanwhile everyone else is just like "Wait. They weren't dating already?". They also play video games together. The first time Steve learns that Rick isn't super trustworthy though is during Steve's birthday party when EVERYONE is together and having a smash tourney. Rick and Steve are the last two left. Rick and Klaus team up to cheat so Rick can win by causing a distraction that Steve could NOT ignore. Steve is so fucking mad. So he likes Rick but also knows he's just as unhinged as everyone else in this house- he's just much better at hiding it and tamping it down when needed.

Hayley and Jeff are the two family members besides Klaus that Rick is closest to! Especially since him and Jeff found out they're related. Him and Jeff are interesting bcuz they both have incredibly similar life stories. Both of them never really HAD a real family growing up (For different reasons. Rick was disowned when he started presenting as a man which was even less accepted back then! Reminder Rick is like in his mid to late 30's or even early 40's.) and only found actual love and acceptance when meeting their respective s/o and being accepted into the Smith family. So the two of them go out of their way to bond because its really important to both of them. Hayley genuinely loves this, and she has more respect for Klaus seeing how much he genuinely cares for Rick and goes out of his way to become better for him(Not for anyone else though. He still sucks.). She also doesn't see the family resemblance until Klaus is like "Oh no trust me, they're related. Rick would forget his damn head if it wasn't screwed on. But I don't mind- he's very appreciative when I help him out and its nice to be APPRECIATED for once."

AND NOW here's some ep ideas !!

Obviously the special ep where Rick and Klaus get married, which I have written out as a fic. That's a given.

An ep where Rick and Klaus are trying to produce a pilot for an adult animated reboot of Gernot and Strudel and the family is trying to help them but they both SUCK to work with, but it turns out its because theyre both so stressed about this. They keep getting rejected by studios, with a common complaint being that the studio wants some changes, including having Gernot and Strudel NOT be gay. Rick and Klaus based the writing of both of them on themselves and their lives so it SUCKS to be asked to change that. They also reveal the other characters have aspects of the other family members too. So the family, after asking them to BE LESS SHITTY while they're doing this, still helps them. It doesn't get picked up but they have a pilot now and that could go somewhere someday. Greg does a favor for Rick and airs it between new stories which everyone in the family treats as a premiere. Everyone's proud of themselves. Its especially a big deal for Rick because its the first and possibly only time he sees his work on TV like this.

Another more comedy focused ep is when Rick and Klaus go to the aquarium on a date and get mistaken for escaped animals (They think Rick is an otter.) and the aquarium gets locked down so the aquarists can get them back in their enclosures so Rick and Klaus have to escape, mission impossible style.

I also think Rick and Klaus going on double dates with Hayley and Jeff, or Stan and Francine would be common occurances before things go to shit in the ep.

There is also always Ricklaus moments on family vacation eps!

Theres also at least one ep where they have a big argument and break up. And Klaus is like "Well clearly I have to come up with a plan to get him back." and Hayley is like "You could just...talk to him." and Klaus ignores her.

Also in an ep thats a flash forward to a potential future, they have a daughter together! They still live at the Smith house because they figure if they outlive Stan and Francine, that means they just get the house for free and they don't have to pay for one.

Rick in general would have bit parts in most parts after he and Klaus' relationship gets more serious and he becomes accepted into the family too.

SORRY THATS. SO MUCH.

[iwannadrawsadcups]

hello! hope ur having a good timezone! :D

random question of the day: you got any sad/angsty cc!mugman hcs? (or js sad mugsy hcs in general ^^)

curious you made this ask right after i discarded an idea for an angsty mugman comic! so i'll just tell you about it (the list is at the end, if you don't wanna read all that lol)

My main hc (for both casino cups and in whatever au i got going on) is that he's got really bad anxiety, he had it ever since he was a little kid but really worsened after the events of the game. At this point he's having a bad time dealing with it, constantly having this feeling of "something horrible is about to happen, or maybe it already happened, or is happening right now", which mostly manifests as stomach pain and sometimes nausea.

(aside from the whole, studying ways to become immortal) To calm himself a bit he makes a few lists of things he need to do; pay rent, feed the daisy, clean, do laundry. But even then he feels he is forgetting something really important he needs to do, so the lists start to get more specific until every little task one could have in a day are writen down. Which can't be healthy, but does help to calm him at the moment.

I see it as him subconsciously trying to be ahead of any problem that could show up, you know? trying to never be caught off guard again (the deal with the devil, elder kettle's sickness, seeing his brother die time and time again), maybe if he does everything on time everything will be alright, things will never be that bad again.

It's not that he's always worried, it's not that he doesn't sometimes slacks off and doesn't do his chores, but sometimes his anxiety gets bad, and he goes back to that habit.

The comic i was making was going to be about that. Mugman working during rush hour and just being unable to shake off the feeling that he is forgetting something important, so he looks at the tables he's waiting and checks time and time again that he brought everything they asked for, he then goes over every chore he should do at home, everything he should fix now so it doesn't become a problem later.

But something is wrong and he doesn't know what, and suddenly everything is too much, the music is too loud and everyone is talking and those feelings mix up with the memories of his fight with the devil, and "oh god i died here", and he gets a bit dizzy, he's nauseous and his stomach hurts a lot, so he goes back to the kitchen so the clients don't see him like that.

Cuphead sees this and goes to check up on him. This has happened at home a few times already, so he does his somewhat usual routine of asking "You ok? No? You forgot something important? Don't be silly, everything is okay" and he stays with him for a few minutes patting his back (which is about as much physical contact Mugman can handle right now).

But Mugman can't really afford to do a "scene" at work, doesn't have the time to cry while there's a hundred of hungry people at the restaurant, so, reluctantly, he gets up again and keeps working.

Discarded the idea because it's too long, and because it just seems too pessimistic and i'm trying to avoid that because it makes me sad lol

aside from this whole rant, other hcs i have are

he saves as much as he can, not down to every single penny, but probably tries to always have at least a good 300 dollars saved up at any given time, just in case he or his brother need to go to the hospital or something (he can barely get to a hundred before he needs to spend it on something else)

chronic migraines because of his head injury (cuphead has chronic pain in his right arm too, fuck it, everyone gets chronic pain)

used to cry every time he got embarrassed as a kid, even now he feels tears build up when someone makes fun of him, but he's too old to cry for things like that so he tries to leave the conversation ASAP. He thinks he's childish for that

thinks his anxiety has to do with him being a coward, and that maybe if he became more powerful/brave he wouldn't feel like that (he would still feel just as bad, probably)

probably sucks at cooking tbh (tragedy)

[callofdudes]

what about 141 with reader who's very old-school. Listens to metal and rock, dresses like a rocker from the 80s, has cassette tapes and vinyls, doesn't use technology etc. I'm like that and everyone always makes fun of me. 😭

That's cool as shit. Also I'm sorry I kind of sidetracked and I wasn't really sure how to approach this... so if it's not what you wanted anon I'm very sorry.

Price 🥃

He thinks it's very cool. He doesn't meet a lot of recruits who aren't glued to their cellphones all the time. Of course while you couldn't get around not having one, you preferred not to use it. It was something he liked about you. Something that made you you.

Now... He would be lying if he said going into your room or your office makes him feel old as shit. Like really fucking old.

He pulls a vinyl record off your shelf and whistles in surprise. "Hey I used to have this..." And then it hits him. "Oh..." He's so bloody old.

He walks out of there with trauma. Every time he sees you walking around with a walkman or sees that Nokia you have displayed on your shelf he has a mid life crisis.

He likes the old songs you listen to, and hearing how you know the words to every 80's song really does bring him back to when his father would play it. Wasn't a huge memory, but it was something familiar in a way.

For your birthday he finds an old record player, yes, he was searching forever. But he found an old record player so now you could play the vinyls how they were intended.

And oh dear Lord the cassette tapes. He got PTSD from going to blockbuster and finding out no one had rewinded the tape before he rented it. Nightmares. Nightmares!! He picks one up and relays the horrors of going to blockbuster at eight at night, getting out near ten for your movie night and finding out you had to spend half an hour rewinding the bloody tape.

He had a lot to say about cassette tapes.

As far as your clothes go he doesn't really think about it much. He thinks some of them are impractical for training and such, along with questioning their durability. But whatever you want to wear he doesn't much care.

Sometimes Price hears the other recruits making fun of you. And he doesn't really understand it. It's nothing different from an older generation saying kids are stuck to their phones. What mattered was you liked it, and you were happy. Simple as that.

A good slap on the wrist from Captain Price gets them to shut up for a while.

He likes that you live how you want to despite the mean people around you.

Ghost 💀

Ghost never really had any technology even when it did start to come out late 80's early 90's. He does remember his brother eventually getting a phone and the old Gameboy he had at one point.

Yes. He is old enough. He had a walkman. The childhood memories he got from seeing that thing was horrendous. He remembered how after a while of trying to block out any noise with them, (which they weren't good for) his ears would start to hurt.

But it wasn't bad. He liked seeing the old vinyls and you seemed to know more than he did. Which wasn't a surprise really.

Your office reminded him of his father's in a way. The back shelf behind your chair stacked neatly with the rows of vinyls and their covers all so well taken care of. The record player from Price off in the corner whenever you wanted some music on just to relax.

They never watched many movies when he was younger, but he remembered when his brother would take his hand and guide him down the rows of shelves in the local blockbuster before their shared curfew so they could get some movies, and Tommy would usually try to sneak a more adult film in between the children's classics and things of that nature.

Your room also gives him PTSD. But only in the way of remember how awful it was. How the static on the tv would make the inside of his brain itch or how uncomfortable those walkman headphones were. Or remembering that space invaders game his brother would play when he was little. A lot of memories he didn't expect to have triggered.

But he thinks it's really cool. He recognizes bands that were really popular. Maybe you were a Rolling Stones kinda kid, maybe you were more into Metallica and such. Hell even Nirvana though it's more early 2000's.

(he might even steal one of your posters) shhh, you saw nothing!

You two jam out a lot. As a rock fan it would be only fair that the two of you were to listen to music together.

Loves your clothes. If they would ever fit him he'd steal them from you. But I don't think he'd so easily slip into them. Something he's sad about.

But if he ever hears anyone talking bad about you he's ready to give someone a good talk with the sharp end of his knuckles. Seriously, if they have the balls to talk shit about his sergeant, his friend, he's coming for them.

He won't let them tell you you're weird or other things because you're being who you want to be. Their just cowards.

Gaz 🧢

Now I think this one is tricky. Kyle was born roughly around when Walkmans started to become less popular so he never had any of the things Price or Simon did. However he did have an old cassette receiver where he used to watch old movies his grandma had bought or played some of the old games.

But your room. He loves your room. All the posters of old bands and records. The cassette player for your movies and stuff.

You also had a guitar that you occasionally played, he really liked that.

All the retro stuff like game figurines and what have you. All the cool clothes you have. If that really comfy AC/DC sweater you have goes missing. It's not a gremlin, just Gaz.

Also willing to just come to your room and jam out with your music. Also brings over some of his old games and convinces you to play them with him.

He thinks it is cool. You carry around a walkman and an old radio player for music and he enjoys them.

He is mostly interested in the bands you're into. He doesn't open up a whole lot but when he sees you playing these old songs he feels happy coming to you with CDs of jazz songs and older songs he likes to listen to. And it helps you two bond.

Let's be honest, he steals more of your old retro stuff from you than everyone else. Which is a surprise. He'll always leave you a little note telling you which tape set he stole or which thing he took from the dark reaches of your closet and how long he plans to have it be stolen for.

But you guys are besties like that. He wouldn't do it if he knew you wouldn't be even a little comfortable.

He's a property stealer just as much as Johnny is. That's the point. It just takes certain stuff for him to want to borrow it.

If he hears people bullying you, he's either squaring up right there. His gun does all the talking. He doesn't have to say anything, a good barrel in the face usually has them quieting down.

His second option is to cyber bully them to hell and back. So you're in good hands. Don't let those things get to your head or Gaz is gonna do some insane shit.

Soap 🧼

Doesn't know what half the shit in your room is. He's a baby, born just when that stuff started to fade from mainstream media and his pea sized brain couldn't register any of it.

A walkman? What the fuck is that?

Cassette tape?? Blockbuster?? What the actually fuck are you telling him. He's a smart little cookie but he's lost on this one. Like couldn't you just get a CD??

He isn't arrogant about it. But growing up in a traditional Scottish household he didn't have technology. He didn't have his first phone until 15, so he doesn't know what half these things are.

Hanging around Simon he knows the bands like AC/DC and Metallica, more 90's groups but he knows. He's seen a vinyl in his dad's room before but that's about it.

Loves your clothes. Absolutely loves them! He is dying to wear them, if they'll fit him that is... Maybe he'll buy something similar.

Is the guy who will buy a Nirvana shirt and know none of the songs just so he can match with you.

Again, a little property stealer. Snags a poster or two thinking you won't notice. A sweater or two during the fall. And if they don't fit him he's buying the exact same one off Amazon for 30$ don't test him.

He likes to learn about all the music you like. As the kid who was also raised in the outdoors. Sacrificing his life for little league football and Scouting in Scotland. He totally understands you not having the biggest hook over technology.

He doesn't really either.

The technology people of your group are surprisingly (not really) Ghost and Gaz. Give Johnny a few bombs and an open field and he's a happy camper. No technology required.

So he thinks it's awesome too. He definitely likes your style and always wants to know more. He wants to get into your hobbies and know all the knowledge he possibly can.

Tell. Him. Everything.

He's feral. If he hears any nonsense they better get ready to square up right there and then. He's tired of hearing people discredit others so a good punch without warning and those idiots are knocked out.

But he's also the prankster, so you give him a name and he will torture that recruit and their friends for a month with the insane stuff he can pull.

Price knows it's Soap, but without the recruits having concrete proof there is nothing to be done. And he thinks it's hilarious this time around.

[undertale-fic-librarby]

Do you have any recs for good underswap sans x reader fics? I looked through the blog and didn't see any recs, but please let me know if I missed them. Thank you so, so much!!

Howdy, thanks for asking! Here are some fics that might fit what you're looking for!

Broken (underswap) by H2O (Explicit, Incomplete)

You Fall Down into the Underswap Underground after the Barrier is broken, but why? Who are these strange skeletons, and why is everybody so nice?

Just Friends! by WhoaWickedSins (Explicit, Complete)

[Swap! Sans Smut Collection. Every chapter has a new little kink or two, listed under the chapter summary.] Blueberry wants to fuck, and he wants to fuck a lot. Little brother Papyrus is onto your diabolical scheme to seduce his brother. Can you keep up with Sans while trying to hide your relationship from Papyrus? Good luck, kid. You're gonna need it. Completed April 19, 2017!

Capturing The Blue Flag [DISCONTINUED] by atomiCherry (Mature, Incomplete)

You just had one year left to finish college and graduate with the course of your choice... Not until your aunt left you the responsibility of being a caretaker in her old Victorian house. With her promise of paying for your college funds the next year in exchange of having her property rented by at least two monsters, you had no choice but to oblige. You never cared about the monsters arriving at the surface nor had any strong opinions about it. But that perspective changed when two skeleton siblings showed up at your doorstep, holding a poorly drawn brochure to your face, a bag of G resting in your front porch... And when you realized how it was fun to tease and play little games with the older brother named Sans.

The Human Condition by Diamondflame33 (Teen And Up, Incomplete)

You're human enough you suppose, for a person with magic. You don't really bother about it under normal circumstances, so most people don't really wonder about it. Sometimes, it's so much a part of you you even forget it's there and just live your life normally. So when you end up using it on a complete stranger, and get pulled into more unusual circumstances than you're comfortable with, you figure perhaps that fate is tired of you ignoring it.

Don't Look So Blue by savontic (Mature, Incomplete)

We all know the drill. A human falls, they're coddled in the Ruins, and sent away to decide the fate of all monsters. More often than not, the human will risk their own safety for the chance to befriend their foes. Even if it means facing their own death. Oh, if only it was that easy this time, dear Reader. You see, you weren't the only one who fell. Your little brother came along for the tumble, and you'll be damned if you don't keep him safe.

[mal-likes-biscuits]

Hi, is there chance for continuing Archfall? Thank you for answer

I actually appreciate someone asking this question, because I keep meaning to address it. Then I re-write my answer ten times in my head and never get around to actually posting it.

Without further ado...

To long, didn't read answer (tldr): yes, there is absolutely a chance! I haven't stopped thinking about it, which is both good and honestly slightly clinical. I would like to finish it.

Longer version (that has been edited 11 times in my head now):

I've been experiencing mental burnout since before I even finished the previous series. The burnout has nothing to do with writing it (in fact, writing it was stress relieving) and mostly had to do with my previous job deciding my sanity was worth trading for profits. This was then worsened by pandemic stress, being a relatively new parent, and a mish-mash of negative and positive stressors.

My day job also involves writing, though the overlap isn't as bad as you might think. But it's still cognitive.

Plus, I used to do a lot of fic writing at work on my breaks, when I had a somewhat private work space; this was the only boon of my previous job. I got a new job, thankfully, for the rest of the issues. However, I currently have an open office space I share that also doubles as a walkthrough area. My co-worker is amazing, but I can't focus on fic if I'm worried someone is going to look over my shoulder during lunch and go "what are you writing".

I've never had luck writing at home because too many things distract me.

So, where's that leave me?

I hyperfixate on things, including hobbies, and in prior periods of cognitive burnout I've gone months, sometimes years, without writing anything. My brain will move to other hobbies while I recover. So far, I have:

learned a bunch about micro aquariums

picked up a house plant hobby (what can I say, we have winter 6+ months of the year and I like gardening)

started collecting rocks and minerals again (whoops that was expensive)

got really good at several video games that are pointedly not Diablo, because I just couldn't mesh with D4 for some reason

have read a few novels and also went down the SCP rabbit hole again, though I promise I haven't been writing and cheating on Archfall

I'm also a parent to a young-ish kid, which is awesome, but our entire house is neurodivergent and is in a chronic state of disorganized disaster worsened by the growing amount of School Parent Things we need to do. And I don't have time to just pack up my laptop to a coffee shop like I sometimes used to. It's a give and take thing, because I absolutely love many things about my life right now, but the situation of other things has certainly changed.

That's a really long way to say I want to write anything, especially Archfall. BADLY. It's just every time I start up writing anything, I burn out.

But I want you all to know that Mal and Farah and the rest of the cast live pretty much rent free in my head all the time, and as soon as the time is right (whenever that is) to finish writing the story, I will.

I hate not finishing projects, though it's certainly happened, and so far in my life I've been lucky to only drop interest in pretty niche hobbies and not stories themselves. I have brute forced prior writing projects through to completion when my brain has been ready, and I have too much fun stuff planned for the series to let it drop completely.

(Might be revisiting the complexity of the plot, but I think that was due anyway. I always over-plot to begin with.)

And please, if you do, don't feel bad about asking this question! Especially when I ask it to myself multiple times a week. :')

Getting to know your moots

Tagged by @tarakanpaintedpurple

•What's the origin of your blog's title?

Perianth because years, years ago, when I was a little school kid, we learned about the build of flowers. My teacher said something like:

'Instead of saying beautiful flower, we should say beautiful perianth'.

It was rent-free in my head until now. Plants somehow always were an important part of my OCs until... I remember? So Perianth.

Nixie because I found somewhere it's a nickname for Nicol.

So I'm Perianth-Nixie right now.

•Favorite fandoms

Of course, Destiny 2, Warframe, and... Helluva Boss. Sometimes I like to draw Transformers Animated.

•Favourite colours

Lime (Green), Aqua Blue, White and Black.

•Favourite game

Warframe is now in my top tier. I still like Destiny 2, but I feel burned out, and I don't like how the stuff going last time around Bungie and the gameplay. Expect this: I play a lot of The Sims 4 cuz I like building homes. Honorable and Important mention is Cult of The Lamb.

•Weirdest habit/trait

I talk a lot to myself when I'm alone. Usually, it's self-hate talk. Also, I talk a lot to my pet.

•Something you're good at

Idk. I thought it was drawing but I don't feel confident about this anymore.

•Least favorite subject

Math and Physical Education (P.E). I never was great at math and all I've met teachers of P.E. who always forced us to play 80-minute volleyball and team games. I hated it and hated it until now when I was reminded about it myself.

•What's your best character trait?

I'm sarcastic in a funny way. At lat I like it.

•If you could change any detail of your day right now, what would it be?

Maybe just sleep more, but it was impossible.

•If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?

Zdzisław Beksiński. Reasons. And my great-grandfather. I knew him, but he died when I was 4 years old.

•Recommend one of your favorite fanfics

None cuz I don't know anyone. I only read books.

...

I don't tag anyone.

🥬 - what are some beige flags your f/o has? so, not bad, but not nessecarily good either. just. "oh. you do This."

🫛 - how does your f/o feel about pet names or nicknames? do they like them? hate them? what are their favorites and least favorites to be called and to use?

🍆 - does your f/o have a favorite scent? why is it their favorite? do they have a least favorite scent?

🍅 - if your f/o could buy you any gift in the world, whether it exists or not, what would they buy you? or, if they could make you something, what would it be?

Sorry if this is too many lol

ask game!

🥬- i think once, when we were still in the hookup stage, i went to check out a poetry slam one night and saw jimmy there in the audience and while he didnt seem exactly impressed, he was focused really intently like he was genuinely engaged. which was Shocking like he does Not seem the type at all! and then we noticed each other and he pretended he didnt see me and left soon after. next time we meet he brushes it off saying that he goes sometimes and its all cringe and he could do way better, even though he’s never gotten up on stage once in his life. (later on in the relationship i accidentally come across a notebook filled with recent poetry and like. while i didnt read it aside from the one page that fell open rest assured not all of what’s in there was Good. anyways i try to subtly encourage him to write more and actually participate in the slam at least once but the risk of not being received well is too great for him. jim not everyone is as judgemental as you are.) so yeah: secretly enjoys slam poetry, secretly writes slam poetry, but is really judgemental despite not being the greatest poet or having the courage to actually go and share his own work at a slam.

🫛- answered here! :3

🍆- can i say ermmm my skin, even body odour like not stanky and dirty but just the smell after a day of existing as a mammal yk. i think he’s gonna find a lot of comfort in the smell of his partner no matter who it is. im really into that thing where if your immune system is really different and therefore compatible with your partner’s their sweat and pits smell really fucking good, like pheromones. i guess its kind of a musk kink? yeah. other favourite smells: a freshly lit cigarette, for obvious reasons. maybe the smell of baking, like cookies, curly’s mom liked to bake so more often than not there was something in the oven when he would go there as a kid, and it was one of the few places he ever felt safe. and he got to eat freshly baked homemade cookies which he couldnt even dream of at his own house. i think he also loves the smell of the perfume i wore the first time we met, leather and violet musk and clove cigarettes and waxy lipstick. least favourite smells: mildew, stale beer and booze vomit. not pleasant smells for anyone but he smelled far too much of them as a kid. also, the smell of the one shitty aftershave his dad used his whole life.

🍅- a house for us to live in. like partially for himself obviously and partially for me too, i think it would make his ego feel good to be the one to have provided that for me you know? take the stress of paying rent off my (and his) shoulders. not that it’s exactly feasible for him. tbh i think he’s not the greatest gift giver, he’s kind of fucking lost on that front. he’s not great at thinking about what other people want.

HEADCANONS FOR SILLY RADIO MAN GAME

Henry

- calls his mom “Ma”

- Is selectively mute and only talks to his mother or others when there is no possible way to avoid it. Hates talking.

- Likes slasher horror films

- the mamas boy to end all mama’s boys, would basically only listen to his mother and no one else

- Got into crazy fights as a child because he would not take shit from anyone and had attitude issues, especially if the slight was against his mom

- Had a reputation in school for being a weird violent kid who never talks.

- Has like no friends

- Looks extremely similar to his mother and almost nothing like his father (despite Marie saying otherwise)

- Middle name is George (was going to be Theodor like his dad but Marie thought it was kinda lame lol)

Marie

- middle name is(was?) Reagan (exorcist reference)

- She dealt with hardships in life (difficulty making rent, Henry getting sick, etc.) by going on tirades about how everything wrong with her life is because of the people in GC and they all deserved to die. Blamed all of her problems (more or less rightfully so) on the people who wronged her

- Loved Henry to the bone but was too mentally ill to see she was destroying him and any chance he had at a future

- Ever since Whistling Night ‘68, she got terrible nightmares that would wake her up constantly

- Quite tall

- Secretly jacked, poured all the spiteful energy she could muster into learning how to kick ass

George

- sometimes had emotional regulation issues and outbursts of intense rage for example, when he lost a game (never directed at anyone, always just within himself or taken out on objects like a ball or a tree) which was taken out of context and used as evidence that he was a violent delinquent.

- In reality was extremely gentle and sweet and wouldn’t hurt anyone.

- Was kind of introverted and would take a long time to open up to other kids so people in his classes didn’t really know him that well despite him being involved in a lot of extracurriculars. Kept to himself (or with Jason and Marie)

- Blonde

Ricky

- is a redhead (auburn?) and has freckles

Max

- is a golden retriever

- Is a good boy

Leslie

- Is Latina

Sara Martinez

- is also Latina (is this a headcanon if her name is literally Sara Martinez lol??)

The Stines

- Got married right out of high school (I swear we see a wedding invite in the game in the chuck puzzle and can’t recall for the life of me what year it says)

- Were high school sweethearts like George and Marie were

Eugene

- inherited his poor eyesight from his father

[reahasleftthechat]

my TBATB hc!

Sexualities:

Tristan: canonically gay

Leo: canonically Bi

Aziza: I headcanon her as Sapphic

Meryl: I headcanon her as a lesbian

Nelle: I headcanon her as a lesbian or Aro-Ace (I’m still deciding)

Dion: i say he’s either Queer or an ally

Anne: idk-

Other hc that are stuck in my mind:

Nelle: she’s a figure skater, she’s won some figure skating competitions. She’s an oracle so she can se the future; so she uses music to cope with it all, has cried multiple times because of a vision,if we’re adding gods she would worship into this: she most likely would worship Apollo, Probably a pjo reader, pjo cabin: Apollo.

Dion: (I don’t have much headcanon for him-) him and Nelle are childhood friends, knows damn well Aziza hates him because he took Meryl’s spot as Librarian.He most likely Vents to Nelle about Aziza because she pisses him off but he can’t tell Aziza that to piss her off,Goes to Nelle’s skating competitions as her brother, throws Plushies into the rink when she’s done with her program,still mad about Emil’s death but got over it soon.

Anne: had no idea of Aziza’s existence until Dion probably told her, watches Nelle’s skating competitions, took on the role as “parent” after Emil died, I think that’s all-

Meryl: Took up the job as Librarian because she likes to be around books, she is a nerd, Loves everything Ocean like, Was friends with Aziza because she knew that Aziza was a witch and could probably help her, eventually got attached to Aziza. (WHERE IS MERYL.)

Aziza: Has the shortest temper of all the coven,(+Dion, Anne and Nelle) once Leo got Aziza tied to one of those Leashes some parents use for their toddlers because she was about to get into a fight, Could easily win a fight, 100% has a bunch of gay stickers lying around just to bother Tristan and Leo, is their biggest shipper, Is annoyed at Tristan 90% of the time because of his relationship with Leo (because of the bond). Is a photographer, once got a camera for her birthday, has the most money out of the whole crew. Can control some of Tristan’s hounds, Lucky is her favourite tho, (even though Lucky was the reason she can’t use her right arm.) speaking about her right arm, she finally got a arm brace or smth (idk what it’s called forgive me.), she can say a couple words in Arabic, Has cried over dreams of her mom, says she doesn’t care about Tristan Raising them from the dead but Lelia in her dress haunts her. The only reason why she gave the sandman all the dreams of her mother was because she didn’t want to she her face again, Anything Caramel, this girl would die (not actually but you get it) if her drink isn’t caramel or Carmel themed when ordering Starbucks. (I have a lot of hc for her I’m sorry-)

Leo: Lucky is Always attached to him, has 1000 lollipops in his car, is very good with kids, has more pictures of Hazel and lucky then he can count on his phone, found a self portrait of him that Tristan drew, Listens to Odatari, had rented a car after this car crashed. Had tried to put stickers on his amber eye. It sometimes irritates him tho, Aziza sleeps over at his house every weekend, buys Tristan and Aziza Starbucks after every patrol night. Has rejoined the school soccer team and easily wins every game. At one point gave up on searching for his true love because Tristan filled that spot (even though Tristan already is his true love-)

Hazel: Has a pet in the summer court, is the favourite child, regularly sends Tristan messages with Lupa (usually telling him to say hi to Leo for her or tell Leo something) Is happy when she’s back at home, is best friends with Tristan, taught Tristan how to do a cartwheel, is flexible, most likely can touch silver and lie, I think that’s all.

Tristan: Is good at art and because of it he has drawn Leo over and over again in his sketchbooks, was Aziza’s first Muse victim when she’s practicing photography, is able to live with Aziza sleeping over at Leo’s house and they have all nighters cramming for tests or just having fun. Sometimes switches his order up when ordering from Starbucks, (tw: mention of ed for the next one) I believe 100% that Tristan has an ED. (Ok back to happier hc) was able to name almost all the hounds, can probably speak another language, Hazel taught him how to cartwheel and he is super flexible And I think that’s all.

extra!! Pjo cabins I think that they’d go in!!

Nelle: Apollo (it’s self explanatory)

Dion: Athena (bcs he works in the library and just in general.)

Anne: Hecate. (I think also self explanatory.)

Meryl: Poseidon. (She’s a selkie. That tracks ok-)

Aziza: Also Hecate, (still self explanatory.)

Leo: Idk- maybe Apollo? (He’s got a cheerful attitude ok-)

Hazel: Demeter? (I’m just thinking because she’s a fairy and all)

Tristan: Hades. (one word: Necromancy.)

I’ll be adding to these when I can.

OC interview

Thanks to @leahnardo-da-veggie here and @mysticstarlightduck here!

Rules: answer the following questions in the POV of an OC!

I need to work on Ash... So I'll do her... Wish me luck!

Are you named after anyone?

“Not that I know of.”

When was the last time you cried?

“I don't really cry often, actually. Though sometimes I get this intense sadness. I don't know if it's from me being an empath. But sometimes I'll have a telepathic dream, you could say.”

Do you have kids?

“Hahaha, no. I'm thirteen.”

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

“No, not a lot. I prefer to say what I mean.”

What’s the first thing you notice about people?

“Not entirely sure. Maybe approximate age or their outfit or something. I guess I'll pick up on some psychic vibe.”

What’s your eye colour?

“Green. I really like that part of me, actually.”

Scary movies or happy endings?

“Big fan of scary movies, actually. I find them really fun.”

Any special talents?

“I play the euphonium. I'm into robotics. I win most board games I play. Excerpt Mouse Trap. God, I hate that game. Also, our school rents archery equipment sometimes, and I was the best aim. I think I'm also getting pretty good at telepathy.”

Where were you born?

“I finally asked my mom directly. I was born in Alium. Sector 9.”

Do you have any pets?

“No. But I would love a dog.”

What sort of sports do you play?

“My ex-stepdad taught me and Hannah baseball. The annoying part was that I liked it. But after he left I haven't gone back to it. I'd rather work on my other hobbies, anyway. But who knows? Maybe one day I'll take it up again. Or archery.”

How tall are you?

“I just passed 5'3, which makes me the tallest in my family except Mary. Alium heights are strange.”

What was your favourite subject in school?

“I'm still in school, so my favorite subject is science. Especially when it's hands-on. We got to dissect a chicken's wing a bit ago. It was awesome. You could even see where the bullet hit the chicken because of the way the bone was broken!”

What is your dream job?

“... I don't really think about the future that often. I guess something hands-on. Maybe robotics related.”

Eh, I'm still so unsure about Ash. I have no idea why she's so hard for me.

Other Ash: OC in three, OC questionnaire, two truths and a lie

Other interviews: Wade, Jazlyn, Gwen, Lexi, Carla, Carmen, Maddie, Liam
