Hot Boxing / Rainy Night - Ticci Toby

Summary: You and Toby are chilling in his car while masky and hoodie are out on a mission, You and Toby decide to get high to pass the time when things get a little heated

Warning: Smoking, Cussing, smut,

Words: 1.5k

The rain fell in sheets, It was like a curtain obscuring the view of the world outside the window. You watched the rain droplets come down the window seeing which one would get to the bottom first, As you shifted your view out towards the forest you watched the rain, mesmerized, as the rain was swirling almost like it was dancing by the strong gusts of wind.

"It's getting really bad out there huh"

The cold voice drew your attention away from outside to back in the car, you look towards where the voice came from, there you see Toby sitting in the drivers seat with his usual stern cold gaze he always had. You and Toby haven't gone on any mission or hung out in a long time, you two used to hang out all the time but then all of a sudden the fun just stopped and he became more distant.

"Yeah it is..I wonder how Masky and Hoodie are doing, I mean with all this rain it must be hard to be out in the forest"

"They will be fine they hav-have worked in way worse than some r-rain" he said looking out of the window with a bored expression, he then looks like he had just remembered something, and with that he then reaches in his pocket to bring out a joint and a lighter.

"Do you mi-mind if I smoke"

You looked at him with a confused expression, if it were Masky or hoodie they wouldn't even bat an eye at you much less ask if you minded if they smoked.

"No I don't really mind" You said as you watched him light his joint, he then takes a long inhale, and in a matter of a few seconds he does almost a sigh of relief, you watch as the smoke fills the car, a strong smell of marijuana in the air leaving you feeling nostalgic as the smell brings you back to when you were just a young teenager.

"Brings ya b-back doesn't it" he says with a light smile which you hadn't seen in ages "You know.. I miss hanging ou-out with you", You were stunned to hear him say that, "Really" not knowing if you heard him correctly. "Well i mean y-yeah you were super fun to ha-hang out with" he says as he motions the joint towards you to take.

You take it moving it in between your fingers watching the smoke and ash fall from the joint, you feel a little nervous before taking a hit considering you haven't smoked in almost three years. While you inhale Toby puts on music to fill the silent void throughout the car, with that you exhale with a few small coughs.

After a few more minutes of sharing the joint between you two and just relaxing to the music you both start feeling very high. You take another quick look outside still admiring the rain even if it is kind of hard to see from the fogged up windows from all the smoke. The mix of the smoke filled air with the calming sounds of the music and the rain has you feeling almost euphoric.

"How much longer do you think Masky and Hoodie will be gone?"

"Hmm, I imagine they will be g-gone for at least another hour and a half" he says looking at you with heavy eyes almost in a flirty manner "So do you have any id-ideas of what we can do t-to pass the time?" he said with an almost flirty tone.

"u-uh we could.." you tried to form a sentence as his demeanor changing from normal to now very flirty has gotten you all flustered.

Toby lets out a soft chuckle "I always thought you were so cute when you got flustered like this"

Before you could find the words to respond with you felt Toby's mouth hit yours with a desperate yet rough kiss. You couldn't help but just melt in Toby's touch with his warm tongue caressing your lips every now and then. The more the kissing went on the more sloppy and desperate the kisses were, you both were getting impatient leaving you guys gripping and pulling at each other's clothes.

You started to shift in your seat noticing the warmth that was developing in between your thighs, Toby must've noticed this and he started moving his hands down your body caressing your thighs and moving his hands in between your thighs in a teasing manner

Toby released his lips from yours with yet again another sly smile, "What's the matter already getting all hot and bothered?" he says in-between small kisses and small laughs. "Will you let me help you baby" he said in a teasing tone.

"Toby please" you say sounding more embarrassed than you anticipated

"Get in the back seat for me baby" he said as he makes his way to the backseat. Once you got in the back you started feeling an overwhelming feeling of nervousness, "You have nothing to worry about love trust me, just lay down for me okay" You lay down and the arousal you feel eventually outweighing the feeling or nervousness.

Toby made his way to your neck kissing and nipping at your neck leaving little love bites all over your neck, You wished this moment would last forever, the hazy atmosphere making this whole thing feel like some amazing dream. Once Toby felt he had done enough he moved back to look at all the hickeys and bruises he had made.

Toby had moved his way down your torso leaving sloppy kisses all over your body, he lifted up your shirt even more, leaving more kisses all over your chest "sit up a bit for me" he said while he took your shirt off and he slowly took your bra off like he was teasing himself more than he was you. After he took your bra off he instantly started nipping at your breasts, sucking on one of your nipples while he played with the other one with his hand.

Toby was starting to feel impatient, feeling how the bulge in his pants was getting harder and already leaking from excitement. Toby made his way down to your shorts and unzipped them like his life depended on it. He quickly pulled down your shorts throwing them aside, Your underwear basically covered from how wet you were. "Your so fu-fucking hot" he said practically drooling from the view of you, he didn't waste anymore time as he moved his head down while he moved your panties aside revealing your puffy and swollen lips from being unattended for so long.

He began abusing your cunt with his mouth and tongue, he began drawing circles around your clit with his tongue, he felt like he could lose himself in the way you taste. "Toby, oh g-god -- That fe-els so good" you felt like you were drowning, the amount of stimulation was almost unbarring that you felt like you couldn't even form a single sentence.

"you ta-taste so good baby"

You could feel you were close, trying to close your legs from all the stimulation but Toby had a strong grip on your thighs forcing them open so he could get the best angle and reactions he wanted.

You soon felt your orgasm wash over you "a-ah Toby g-god" Toby thought he would cum right then and there from just the noises you made and just how you said his name, it just made him so much more hornier he thought his dick would explode if he didn't cum soon.

As soon as you came down from the high from your orgasm you realized Toby still needed some assistance that's when you saw him sit up and start taking his belt off "I'm going to need you to trust me okay? just say if this is okay alright" he then lifted your arms up above your head using his belt to tie your arms together "is this okay " he asked "mhm" you slurred out still kind of out of it from your orgasm

You then heard him unzipping his pants then pulling his pants and boxers down, His dick basically twitching covered in precum from it being unattended for so long. He then lined himself up to you and before you were prepared he did one hard thrust inside you. N-nhh a-Ah Toby nhh.." His thrusts were slow at first but then became very sloppy and messy. "Mhh Your so t-tight and warm" His breaths becoming more heavier as the time went on.

You felt as if another orgasm was coming on which Toby knew considering how tightly you clenched around him "Oh my g-god your t-taking my dick so-so well baby" You both felt like you were close you cumming first clenching so tight around Toby couldn't help but cum, you both riding out your orgasms with one last thrust.

You both were panting like crazy Toby not pulling out until you both were ready "oh my God that was s-so go-good" You sat up feeling kind of dizzy and out of from just had coming down from your guys orgasms.

Toby helped you get cleaned up and help you get your clothes back on, after all that you both just decided to stay back there and lay down, you played with Toby's curly hair making him eventually fall asleep

You stare out the window once again, the rain has calmed down a bit which has left the outside a hazy foggy night.

Okay I know I said this would be out in a couple days but I got to excited I wrote it today, sorry if its not the best this is my first time writing smut or actually a story at all so if anybody has some ways I could make it better please tell me I feel like I got a little lazy at the end but hopefully you can still enjoy okay bye bye!!

[nymph-ette111]

What if Jeff, EJ, Toby, Masky, Hoodie, and Ben (separately) found Y/N silently crying? Would they help or try to calm down Y/N?

That's it, sorry if I chose too many creepypastas ❤

I hope you have a great day/night!!

(I love your writing style aaaaah! Luv ya >< )

Sorry if I sounded cringe ;)

WARNINGS; JEFF BEING AN ASSHOLE LIKE USUAL/TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS, MENTIONS OF A DECAPITATED BODY

AUTHOR'S NOTE; NO ONE HERE IS CRINGE!! and I love you too <3 was giggling and kicking my feet writing masky and hoodie's part LOL

TOBY;

-the first thought that comes to his mind is that somebody caused this.

-may be a bit rough when asking what's wrong, because like I mentioned before, he just jumps into the conclusion that it's someone else's fault.

-Toby is a little... impulsive when it comes to solving his problems, always going the aggressive route.

-basically what I'm trying to say is that he is willing to chop up someone's body if they did something bad enough to make you cry.

-he will pry the information out of you, whether you want to or not.

-he doesn't realize that this makes things worse for you :( let's be realistic, imagine crying to your boyfriend because someone bothered you just for him to leave and come back covered in blood holding the head from said person's decapitated body.

-he'll even try to hug you, not caring if he is covered head to toe in blood, not caring if the smell was overwhelming your senses. he'll get upset if you refuse his "affection" and "comfort". sometimes Toby's thinking is... hard to understand.

-99% chance you're going to throw up from the sight alone. what I'm trying to say here is Toby's attempt at making you feel better is nowhere near what it's supposed to be.

-but if that wasn't the case and your crying was because of something else like an insecurity, just the overall stress of your day, basically anything that doesn't involve another person he'd be less aggressive.

-wouldn't really know what to say so he'd just go for physical affection and hope that it works.

-now this part depends on you since not everyone likes physical touch when upset. if you don't mind it then he's going to hold you until you feel better. if you don't he'd respect your wishes but he won't leave, even if you ask him to.

-would kiss away your tears one hundred percent.

-i'd give him about... 7/10 less if he brings back a corpse with him but the physical affection is nice :)

JEFFREY:

-love how your relationship is hanging on by a thread.

-it's surviving off of hopes and prayers bro.

-Jeff believes that he should be the only one who can make you upset in any way shape or form. I'd say he doesn't take the idea of someone else making you feel bad very lightly.

-not even in a "oh, someone made my partner upset! not on my watch!" he's just offended because it feels like someone took his place or something.

-yeah did I mention he's toxic as fuck.

-i honestly don't know how he'd react... contrary to popular belief I don't think he'd go out of his way to kill somebody because they made his partner upset like Toby would. in Toby's case it's out of pure love obsession and the need to please you. in Jeff's case he'd probably kill for his own benefit which I mentioned before, someone taking his place.

-fuck it he'd probably kill the person just to torment you, he enjoys that shit.

-however if it's your own feelings regardless of what it is, he'd pretend to not care.

-i think I somewhat implied it in my "stretch marks" post that he doesn't know how to handle his partner's emotions. insecurities or not, big chance he won't do anything, probably throw an insult or two just to make you feel pathetic.

-damn I don't think any fluff post with Jeff would work.

-how can this motherfucker even be nice.

-and if you're asking, no he would never break up with you. you boost his ego a little too much and he doesn't want to lose that.

-he doesn't want to admit it but he's attached to you to a certain degree.

-i'd give it... why are you even reading this it's an obvious 0/10

EYELESS JACK;

-im torn between making EJ the feral demon he is or making him more... human.

-i think I lean towards the more human side when writing for Jack but that might change in the future. expect all of my headcanons to change since I'm still trying to figure this out. even for his personality.

-i should make a poll for that... ANYWAYS

-regardless of the reason, he'd react pretty much the same way.

-he's so sweet and comforting it's actually insane :(

-he's naturally awkward but the voice, the way he weighs and genuinely considers his words before speaking, trying to find the best way to make you feel better can make anyone instantly fold I'm TELLING YOU.

-bro sounds smart and is smart just the way he talks to you is enough to make you move on from whatever had happened.

-intelligent men are so

-head scratches after he's done giving you his advice and point of view of the situation.

-my husband<3

-tries to get you out of your room after that, or just include you in whatever so you wouldn't think about it again. like offering to invite you to the infirmary, there's always an extra seat for you there :)

-i might be biased but 9/10

BEN;

-i've said this before and I'll say it again, does not know how to comfort people. especially ones he cares about.

-he just... stands at the doorway (or floats, whatever you like)

-if it was another person he'd laugh at them right away, but considering you're his partner he'd fight the urge for your sake.

-actually he might laugh a bit but if he notices that you're clearly serious about what upset you he'd drop it.

-would download a virus on the other person's devices.

-he thinks it's funny.

-he genuinely tries to make you feel better tho, just doesn't know how :(

-if you're insecure about something then he'd react similarly to my "stretch marks" post and try to convince you that whatever it is about you, it's beautiful.

-might come off as corny tho.

-either way... I'd give him a 5/10 maybe even 6/10 if bullying kids on roblox cheers you up.

MASKY;

-regardless of the reason, he'll ask what's wrong but secretly hopes you don't want to talk about it.

-he is a teen tiny bit awkward.

-kind of like Toby, he goes for physical affection and hopes it's enough to take your mind off of it somehow.

-but the hugs this man gives...

-might as well stay there forever.

-just imagine him holding you tight to his chest, one hand rubbing your back while the other plays with your hair. a cig hanging loosely from between his lips UGH

-can you tell I'm listening to lana del rey while writing this.

-again he might not offer much in terms of... actually saying something to comfort you but his hugs are enough and if they aren't then girl what the fuck is wrong with you.

-i need him.

-i give 8/10

HOODIE;

-another one who relies on the physical affection only because he's a selective mute.

-unless you know sign language.

-unlike masky, instead of a hug you're sitting on this man's lap.

-his mask up to the bridge of his nose, scruff facial hair grown from years of not taking proper care of himself rubbing against your flush cheeks, strong arms holding you tightly against him.

-i genuinely cannot continue writing this so I'm ending it here because another word of describing this man will have me tweaking out 9/10

A Beach Day with Akatsuki

Summary: how would each of the Akatsuki members be in the cliche anime beach episode.

Warnings: mentions of deaths and alcoholic beverages. SFW.

Characters: Pein; Konan; Tobi; Zetsu; Itachi; Kisame; Deidara; Sasori; Hidan and Kakuzu (from Naruto).

•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸

Kisame

Kisame liked the idea from the beginning.

As soon as he gets to the beach he goes straight to the water.

Likes to surf.

And it's really good at it.

He doesn't wear sunscreen.

He spends practically all day in the water.

He just goes out to pull someone out to sea with him.

Or to buy some ice cream.

He randomly comes out of the water sometimes and brings a very nice shell or rock and gives it to someone.

He tries to pull Itachi out to sea with him just to provoke him.

Kisame would come out of the water in the afternoon to watch the sun go down.

While drinking something refreshing, like coconut water or a drink.

That man was so comfortable.

It upsets him to have to leave the beach.

The next day he is locked in his room, sunburnt.

He doesn't want to go out for  doesn't have to overhear Itachi saying "I told you" for refusing to apply sunscreen.

Still, he really liked his day at the beach and would do it all over again.

•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸

Kakuzu

He didn't want to come.

Like, beach is just a warm place with salt water and sand, what's fun about that? That's what he thinks.

He is really in a bad mood.

He can't even cool off in the sea because he can't swim due to his stitched up body.

He tries to relax sitting in the shade of the parasol while reading a book.

But any noise bothers him.

And a beach with Deidara, Hidan and Tobi is sure to be noisy.

He eventually decides to walk to the edge of the sea away from the group while checking his bingo book.

Was that or kill those three.

In the end, when he is well away from the group he manages to enjoy the beach a little.

He sits near some palm trees.

The waves gently lap at him feet in a relaxing manner.

And finally the silence that he loves so much.

He would only reappear in the group in the evening, when started to cool down.

He is not sad that he has to leave.

And he would never admit that he enjoyed the quiet moments he spent alone.

•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸

Tobi/Obito

Ever since he learned that him be going to the beach he has been extremely anxious.

He is wearing those bathing suits that cover the whole body, like surfers do.

But he doesn't surf.

Yes, he is wearing the mask even on the beach.

Doesn't stop at any moment.

He would go into the sea to jump the waves and end up falling as soon as they took their eyes off him.

Then he would get up as if nothing had happened.

He has been bothering Deidara since they arrived.

"Wow Deidara-senpai, I didn't know your abdomen was so defined" - would be just one of the comments he make to tease the blond.

Tobi is a good boy, so he put sunscreen on the parts that his suit doesn't cover.

Takes too much ice cream and ends up freezing his brain.

He would not want to leave the beach.

Would only do it when it was getting dark.

Definitely a happy child enjoying his day at the beach.

•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸

Hidan

For Akatsuki to be able to go to a beach it would have to be isolated.

And well, I'm saying this because Hidan was responsible for offering Jashin anyone who showed up bothering.

He's a narcissist and made a point of getting a swimsuit that didn't cover too much and value his ass.

At first, he avoids getting into the water because he doesn't want to get his hair wet.

But when he enters the sea it's scary to see how he spends hours underwater since he can't die by drowning.

Enjoys bothering Kakuzu... as usual.

He purposely wets Deidara's hair.

Hidan wasn't worried about sunscreen.

After all, he's immortal, what difference does it make?

What no one knows is that he ended up going through the fear of losing the pale shade he likes so much.

He has who brought the alcohol.

He keeps drinking and bothering others with silly pranks.

Leave the beach at the end of the sunset already drunk.

He found the day at the beach fun.

After all he didn't have to work and spent all day drinking and making fun of the members, why would he complain?

•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸

Zetsu

He likes sunbathe.

Obviously him don't wear sunscreen, because he don't need it.

Would avoid going into the sea because of the salt water.

White Zetsu wants to make a sand castle.

But doesn't work out too well because black Zetsu refuses.

He likes to drink a lot of water.

Zetsu purposely walks away from the group.

He likes to be alone and it is no surprise to anyone.

He finds the sound of the sea very relaxing.

White Zetsu wants to take the little shells he finds home.

Black Zetsu wants to eat the crabs he finds.

At some point he would end up sleeping.

Would only wake up when the sun started to set.

And then finally would return to the group to leave.

White Zetsu really enjoyed the day at the beach and think was relaxing.

Black Zetsu didn't think it was bad, but he wouldn't admit it and would say it was a waste of time.

•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸

Deidara

“Finally a rest day” - that's what he thought, until he saw how Tobi can be even more irritating on the beach.

The beach is a very inspiring place for an artist.

So Deidara is trying not to waste all his explosive clay on Tobi.

He wants to tan, not burn, so he put on sunscreen.

Deidara knows and likes to surf.

And he's annoyed that Kisame is better than him at this.

He was avoiding going into the sea until Hidan wet his hair.

His bathing suit is the prettiest.

This boy has style.

He would retreat at some point to make sand castles without being seen.

Prefer to eat slushies.

Would want to compete with Itachi on something.

And would say he cheated when he lost and walk away from the group.

Collect shells <3

He tries to sunbathe, but Deidara is the kind of person who can't sit still.

So it's useless.

The sunset is art for him, after all it is temporary.

Appears out of nowhere in the group when they are leaving.

At the end of the day he's sulking.

Because the day at the beach was not what he expected.

… But he liked it.

•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸

Itachi

To be honest, he doesn't really like the beach.

Like, he can't deny the place is beautiful, but what is he going to do here?

He ends up sitting in the shade of the parasol watching others have fun.

Most of the shells Kisame brings from the water are for him.

He obviously use  sunscreen.

And brought it, in case anyone forgot.

In fact, the bag with everything needed for a day at the beach is his.

He doesn't really like the idea of ​​going into the sea.

The most he'd do is get his feet wet because it's relaxing.

He's the one who bought Kisame's ice cream while he was getting out of the water.

He's not paying attention to Deidara's taunts.

And he made no effort to beat him.

He likes the sound of the sea.

Take the opportunity to rest for a while.

He ends up getting so relaxed and quiet you could swear he's sleeping sitting up.

Itachi finds the sunset a bit melancholy but beautiful.

Is eager to return to the group's hideout.

The next day he know that Kisame doesn't want to leave his room because he's sunburned.

He didn't think the day at the beach was all bad, but he would have preferred to go somewhere else.

•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸

Pein

Honestly, he only accepted all this because of Konan.

Doesn't like warm places, so the beach is not his favorite place.

He came just to make sure that nothing bad would happened.

He refers to Hidan, Deidara and Tobi in the same place for more than 5 minutes.

And he doesn't want anyone to bother Konan either.

Konan who reminded him to wear sunscreen.

Pain likes to eat watermelon when he is at the beach, is refreshing.

He won't go into the sea, don't even try.

Doesn't like ice cream very much.

He doesn't really like sweets in general, they make him thirsty.

He notices when someone moves away.

Being honest, he is just waiting for the day to end.

He understands why they think sunsets are beautiful, him thought too when he saw how Konan admired the sky.

Pein makes sure that everyone is present as they come back.

Tobi tests his patience by refusing to return "so soon".

He understands that a rest is necessary... But for him it was just a wasted day.

•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸

Konan

She was who gave the idea to go to the beach.

Konan likes to sunbathe, even though she's very pale.

Hoped that this day would be at least a little relaxing for Pain.

Konan would read a book in the shade while listening to the sound of the waves.

Likes to drink refreshing drinks, eat scratch cards, eat watermelon, etc.

She is enjoying the moment.

Would go into the sea to cool off a bit, but she would be quick.

Konan is very stylish, so her bikini makes her look radiant.

She really wants to play in the sand for a while.

But as we know she is shy, and ends up being embarrassed.

Didn't approve of the idea that Hidan could kill anyone who came along.

But her understand why Pein thinks it's necessary.

She loves the different shades that appear in the sky as the sun goes down.

Left the beach a little reluctantly.

She who manages to convince Tobi to leave.

Konan liked her day at the beach but wishes she had enjoyed it more.

Sasori

He wonders why he had to come along.

Like, there's nothing for him to enjoy on the beach.

Not that he can't go into the sea, but he's a puppet, the job he'd take to get the water out of his body.

Not to mention that salt water can wear out his body.

Definitely out of the question.

The only problem is that all that sand and hot sun just reminds him more and more of his old village.

He doesn't have a problem with the heat at all, he actually likes it.

He would try to distract himself by looking for pretty rocks.

Kisame would notice and bring some for him.

He'd be so focused on this that he wouldn't realize he'd ended up walking away from the group.

He ended up getting wet when he picked up a rock too close to the sea and a wave came to meet him.

He returns to the group grumpy after that.

Sasori lies down waiting for the sun to dry him and ends up sleeping.

Hidan and Deidara bury him in the sand.

He hasn't seen the sunset and is just grumpy wanting to go back to hiding.

But he is taking the rocks he found with him.

He doesn't want to repeat the experience.

Masterlist

[moriitis]

I've been reading your Toby headcanons lately and I absolutely LOVE them! I really enjoy the way you write and portray the characters, especially Toby. I was wondering, though—

How do you imagine Toby interacting with a witch reader? I'm thinking of the kind of witches from the 15th to 17th centuries—the ones associated with devil's marks, sabbats or covens, and those darker legends like smearing the blood of unbaptized babies on their backs or broomsticks to fly, and so on.

(Sorry for my English, it's not my first language and I'm kind of bad at it)

Toby Rogers x Witch!Reader. HCs.

I love this ask so much because one of my oc's is a witch from the 18th century and Toby's just fucking hilarious.

At first he would scoff at the idea.

Doesn't believe in that kinda shit.

Though he is 100% a believer in ghosts and all shit superstitious. Why wouldn't he be? He sees Lyra all the fucking time, that's gotta mean something right?

Though if you were to tell him, expect him to scoff in your face, making comments like -

"So, what, you got a stick shoved up your ass or something?"

When you mention 'witch', he just assumes you mean moon water or some shit. Those weird tiktok witches he sees all the time.

Though he does secretly own a deck of tarot cards.

Just, he didn't expect rituals. Or maybe he did, honestly, he doesn't even know what the fuck is going on anymore. His life has been a mess since the accident and he's seen some fucked up shit, some fucked up people, he wasn't going to question your 'abilities.'

Though, sadly, a small part of him somewhat hopes you could.. I don't know, bring back the dead, reverse damage, make him forget things.

And as much as he loves you, he can't help but use and abuse these powers you possess.

Because it makes him feel something he can't pin point. Not pride or a sense of belonging, just something that actually makes him feel alive.

Like everything almost makes sense for a second?

Admittedly, he's pretty bitter toward you for a moment. Bitter because of what you can do, jealously because he wants to be able to do something like this.

What is this? He actually doesn't know because half of him expects you to just conjure some shit up in thin air.

And expect him to ask for some dumb ass shit, like you have the power to do it or something.

He's all on it though when you mention needing blood.

Shit, you want blood? He'll get you fucking vials of the shit.

Though, he'll hesitate to ask why.

Maybe because deep down he has a fear you'll do something to him.

That you would hurt him.

And frankly, a part of him wants to kill you before you can do it to him first.

The mentions of broomsticks piques his curiosity though.

Broomsticks?

Really? Now you were just messing.

And now he just doesn't believe anything you're saying.

That is until you literally show him your broomstick.

And even then, he'll cautious glance between you and the broomstick.

As much as he wants to trust you, to trust this, he can't.

What do you mean this kind of shit is actually possible?

It doesn't make sense.

And he spirals.

He spirals into a fit of rage, an anger.

This was all your fault. Fucking witch, stupid hag.

God, why are witches so beautiful?

"It was y-yy.. you- you killed her, you killed Lyra."

He'd throw fingers, trying to push his grief and guilt onto someone else.

You could do this all along?

How were you supposed to know? You had met him after the accident?

It wasn't good enough and Toby's pissed.

He can't put it into words but he knows that he just can't look at you.

Because now nothing is making sense and he feels like everything is against him.

This shit just isn't real.

This kinda of shit just doesn't happen.

Can you write random ticci toby headcanons

heeeey, thx for checking out my blog!!! :D and of course! The headcanons are bit long because i love yapping about this silly guy TvT.

TW: self harm

pt 2

᭄᭡ Ticci toby General Headcanons ⊹₊

• German 🇩🇪. When he is pissed he will curse under his breath in german🧍‍♀️ no one in the mansion knows what the hell he’s saying. Has a slight accent too..!

•He’s super tall like standing between something like 5’6 or close to 6’2.. BUT HAS SUPER BAD POSTURE LIIIKE….

•Im sticking with his canon age so he’s around his mid 30’s by now .

• His favorite colors has to be green , orange, brown, red, yk warm colors.

• His hobbies consist of animal watching and petting random animals that he founds crossing path during missions or just simply hanging out around the slender forest far away from other creeps because he values his alone time.

• wood craving !!!

• speaking of wood craving oh my gosh he’s really good at it, sometimes he make his friends wooden animal figures and will leave them in their room’s as a presents :) he’s so sweet…

• listening to music from phones that he stolen from people he encounters ( if you know what i mean..)

• drawing animals he finds interesting :) I like the idea of him having a sketchbook dedicated for this specifically.

• Speaking of his hobbies , he preferable likes to do them alone because he gets overwhelmed easily ( I blame his father -) and considering his past and being teased frequently about his tics and so forth he close to non verbal. But if he does talk it close to really short responses.

Here’s angst headcanons ( it’s mostly about his past) . . . TW: self harm

• I am a very firm believer that the name “ ticci toby” was not a chosen name but rather a nickname from his bullies from school that tease him. he absolutely hates the name.

• When his family found out about his diagnoses of CIPA ( Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis) they had to take matters into their own hands, and they all made sure to the house is safe for him. Such putting tabs on their showers or bath tubs so he doesn’t burn himself alive or it’s so cold that it’s concerning, making sure the food he eating isn’t too hot or cold, yk stuff like that..

• With tourette’s , I have a feeling his parents put him through countless speech & physical therapy. None will work and his father would yell at him about something he can’t control.

• When he found out about his CIPA , he tries desperately to feel pain or even any kind of bodily sensations. Such as ( TW : SELF HARM) scratching himself until he bleed , hitting himself , stuff like that. Mainly because he confused as hell why he can’t feel anything. My guess is that he so frustrated about it he can’t wrap around his head that’s the way he is.

• Every night , he goes to bed fall asleep to thoughts about what his life would been like if he was not like this….

OOOK enough angst!! here’s the continuation of his general headcanons . . .

• Yk how he has a scar on his face. Well many people like to state that he doesn’t take care of it..blah ..blah.. hides it with a mask that he always wears. Personally I feel like he takes care of himself by adding cream on to it ( proscribed by eyeless jack himself :D) , slowly but surely the scar looks better than when he first got it, he wears the mask to protect it from getting infections. ^^

• has a sweet tooth!!! It’s not just about waffles y’all just sayin…

• Even though he preferable like to do missions alone. He will sometimes bring someone with him like tim, brian , kate ( basically the whole gang-) , or ej .

• Not only he has CIPA & tourette’s but I believe he has schizophrenia, PTSD , Bipolar disorder and amnesia. especially with his encounter of slenderman is it made far worse…

A/n: Oh my gosh this was so fun to make!! I’m sorry if sentences were typed a bit weird , wonky , or very wordy TvT. I just reread your ask and it said random but… i thought it said general. i’m.. so sorry 🥲I hope this is alright if not my inbox is always open for requests :,D

[crushedsweets]

I would like to ask if the creepypastas know what happened to each other? Like do Tim and Brian know what happened in Toby’s and Kate’s childhood/past? And if they do know how did they find out?

some do!! this kinda half-assed answers your question cuz i included all 16, so its kinda difficult to cover everyone neatly!

for kate... i dont think anyone but toby and MAYBE clocky/nina would know what happened to her. she doesnt want to talk about it at all, and toby would only find out by connecting the dots of random stuff shes said.

i think toby is pretty open about what happened to him. he'd be very quick to make jokes or casually be like "yea i got the shit bullied out of me". so people are familiar, HOWEVER i dont think a lot of them really understand how bad it was for him bc hes so casual with it. i think tim and brian probably caught toby losing him mind, having nightmares, screaming and he'd be like "you dont get it you dont fucking know the shit that happened to me" etc etc. with clocky or kate or EJ, he'd be SLIGHTLY more vulnerable. tell them about lyra and connie, but he's just uncomfortable with that stuff

tim wouldnt really want to talk about his childhood or everything he lost either. i think he'd only bring it up with toby in the event that toby needed comfort, or something to ground/relate to (i.e hospital visits, schizophrenia, loss) OR if someone implies tim has it better than them. then he's like WHAT the fuck do you think you know about me. otherwise he rather not.

brian is pretty similar. he just doesnt wanna talk about it. brushes things off pretty easily, tries to joke about it, or he says something like "it sucked but im here now. gotta keep pushing, why dwell". . .

clockwork keeps that shit to her chest. the most she'd bring up is like "yea i grew up poor, dad was a nutcase, i dont wanna talk about my brother" or implying other people have it easier than she did (which is true 90% of the time. she had it rough). i think only toby and nina would get a better idea of what really happened to her, but she just doesnt like to think about it. itd be a similar case where they catch her having a panic attack or nightmare and she chokes something out .

nina spills everything she doesnt really care. she likes to talk and share and spill her guts, so everyone is pretty familiar with all her ex boyfriends, workaholic parents, getting bullied, whatever. shes a bit more hesitant to bring up certain things that SHE'S done (cheating, cyberstalking, self harm, etc) but she'll happily share times she was a victim to others

EJ would share about his family very freely, and i think if someone asked, he'd tell them about jenny. so i guess it just depends on who cares to ask ? toby, clocky, maybe tim/brian would. jeff and ben might ask like "hey why are you ugly now" and he would not tell them . cuz he needs whoever he tells to ask genuinely and treat it seriously

similar to nina, jeff just yaps and yaps and goes off about how hard he had it (completely warping the story and lying half the time). so he'll just bring it up to brag or compare or compete or prove a point, but its never done very.. vulnerably?

ben doesnt talk about any of it. most of the group knows, because his case (yk, 13 yr old boy kidnapped and murdered amongst several other young teens..) got really big and everyone kinda talked about it without him. he doesnt want pity or to think about it. he'd only bring it up with sally, i think, cuz he feels a bit more seen by her

sally would only tell jane and clocky. i genuinely cant see a reason she'd ever bring it up to anyone else, and those two are the only ones she'd trust (and mary but marys not that big in my au)

jane tells people pretty openly, because she was a victim of jeffs stalking. she tries to make her story more...inspirational? because after all her pain and loss, she still went to law school and all of that. or if someone tries to diminish her pain, she'd be like 'watch your mouth.' i think she'd tell nina and liu. for nina, it'd be like "you dont even care do you? you still love that man after everything? how can you look me in the eye, knowing all he's done, and tell me you idolize him?" and for liu it would be more about like. closure maybe? part of her resents liu even though it was NOT his fault whatsoever and he's also a victim, but shes mature enough to try and navigate the trauma WITH him despire her pain

for liu its kinda similar, but nothing is inspirational. he would tell people because for him, its how he connects to people. connecting on trauma, even if its not the healthiest way. . . if someone asks, he tells them. its kinda sad the way he talks about jeff though. 'i just miss pushing my little brother on the swing'

dina screams and screams at everyone about "YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IVE LOST" because she was held in such a idolized position in her cult. she hates lazari and she blames everyone else because she thinks they have something to do with the devil(zalgo) and thats why god doesnt want her anymore.

lazari would cry to EJ about her nightmares of her mom, but i dont think she'd talk about it with others. it just makes her sad. maybe she'd tell jeff cuz he'd be asking and then He'd belike oh. jeez. ok. LOL. that sucks.

lulu doesnt really remember what happens to her, but everyone has an idea. she mumbles about hazing, how cold the water is, how she doesnt wanna drink again, how the sorority girls are so mean, she just wants to go back to her dorm, whatever. but its just because shes so lost in her mind

ann is more like ... sassy . brags about her redroom business and whatnot, complains about the man who killed her, gets all sultry about kate saving her from her big bad killer, whatever. but she doesnt talk about her family or how she was a femcel neet.

[deadqueerboys]

could you write how tommy, tubbo, and bbh would react to ftm!reader sending nudes while theyre (the boys or reader) is on a trip away from each other?

I can try.

No top surgery, but on T.

Tommyinnit, Tubbo, Badboyhalo x Ftm! Reader (separate)

NSFW UNDER THE CUT

Tommy

The first picture was innocent, only showing his eyes and his soft smile. He did it for Tom. He likes to see how his boyfriend is doing or when he's about to fall asleep. After that, M/n sent him a shirtless pic. His chest was just perfect to be cupped by Tommy's hands. His body used to be bigger. Instead, with the testosterone, he got smaller tits and a bigger clit. He smirks as soon as he sees the pic, posing in front of the mirror and grabbing his cock with his hand. He sends it, feeling aroused and horny. His mind was so focused on his boyfriend that he didn't even care if it would make things weirder.

He was hard and ready to fuck him, unfortunately, Tommy's travel would last one more week. He keeps touching himself, looking at that image of his own boyfriend half naked was driving him mad. His hands were getting tired, his eyes closed as he bites his lips. He was imagining his hand there, all wrapped around his cock. He could keep going like this, but he decided to be more aggressive. He send him another text. "One more pic, and I will try to come home earlier." He teases, his hand barely touching the keyboard. He was too into the pleasure.

In response, M/n sends him another one. At this time rubbing his cunt. Tommy's smile returns to his face, giggling and stroking himself harder. His hand is going faster while the other one grabs his hair. He thrusts his hips up, acting as if he was being touched by him. He's happy, way more excited to come back home. He wants to be with him, rolling his eyes as he cums on his hands. His seed all over his hand while he uses his own body. He closes his eyes, finally resting his head on his pillow. His body is so tired, he hopes his friends don't come to his room at night, he will need a lot of time to get over those pictures.

Tubbo

Toby likes to tease, he sent one first. Just a picture after the work-out, his arm is huge there. He smiles as he gets a video back, M/n's naked body on top of one of the toys he chose for him. His pussy commanding the toy like if it was Tubbo's cock, going up and down while he buries his face on his hand. He wants to be quiet, but he misses him way too much. His cock gets hard as soon as he watches the video. He goes straight to the bathroom, locking the door and opening the video again. His hand grabbing his dick, stroking himself at the saw of his boyfriend riding the dildo.

He takes some time in the bathroom, the gym was empty, at least that was a good point. He was too hard to ignore his urge, his dick twitching on his hand while he touches himself. The video was on loop at the point, no sound on, even with him needing to hear him crying and calling his name. Tubbo wasn't good at hiding his feelings, it was all too much. He takes a video of him using his hand as a flashlight. He spits on his cock while masturbating, showing him clearly how good he feels with himself.

Bad

He doesn't like the idea of being far from him, but he agrees on sending things for each other. His body is desperate for affection, and since they are too far.. it's hard to choose what to do. Bad uses his body as a play-toy, sending pictures of his happy trail with only his underwear on. He gets one too, M/n showing his small dick from using T. His clit is getting bigger, and it makes him more sensitive. The picture got Bad on his knees, hiding his face on the pillow while he thought of his body. His hips rolling against the bed, grinding his crotch against the mattress. He doesn't want to touch his cock with his hand, he promised M/n he wouldn't touch himself, but he didn't say anything about forcing himself in the bed.

Bad brings his phone close to his mouth, moaning while he fucks himself on the blankets. He records it, sending the video for his boyfriend. His audio sounded more desperate than what he really was. But he wouldn't complain, it was good. And he knew it would get M/n more horny than what he already was. He kept going, using his hips as the biggest way of getting relief. His body twitching, his cock feeling harder when he notices that he already sent the video.

Creepypastas and small things they would do for you when you depressed!

➥ Jeff the Killer, Homicidal Liu, Eyeless Jack, Masky, Ben Drowned, "Ticci" Toby Hi, please dont be scared to get help if you feel like you need it - obvious thing but your feelings valid and you matter so much! And my DMs are always open! >:)

.•┈••✦ 🖤 ✦••┈•.

☆ Jeff the Killer

Okay, Jeff isn't the best when it comes to comforting people, even if he really cares about them. He feels lost and has no idea what to do, but seeing you all miserable makes his heart break. Thats why I think he would do small acts of service. Don't expect a lot from him - he loves you, but he really is so awkward.. Thats why he brings you meals (he can't cook for shit), open the window in your room and let some air to it, he even clean around! Jeff also loves to spoil you! He know that he isn't the most affectionate, so he gives you a lot of small gifts! Maybe nice looking rocks, flowers, jewlery stolen from his victims....all romantic! Also things that reminds you of him! The one based on your personality, likes and stuf!! And dont even try to say that you dont deserve all that.. because deep down you mean everything to Jeff! Come on, there is a reason why he keept you alive, huh?

☆ Homicidal Liu

Absolute sweetheart when it comes to comforting you! You had a rough, long day? Even worse than normally? He is right here with you, doing his best. You just wanna seat in silence? Too tired to talk? Liu will be here. No sign of judgement on his face, just his typical soft and full of compasion smile. If you feel okay with him touching you, he would hold your hand or offer you a hug. No worries, you can stay in his soft embrace as long as you need it - its just you both agaist the world. He just want to make sure that you know he is here for you. Liu would talk about all things you are worried, trying to find solution if its possible, but he is also not too pushy when it comes to that. And no matter how you feel now, or if you will yell and cry, pushing him away - he is always here to got your back.

☆ Eyeless Jack

Jack is just another person with this comforting aura. At the end of hard day, you can't help but want cuddle to him and sob into his arms..And Jack is a great listener, always wanting to make you feel that your suffer is visible and heard! Thats why he is the best person to come vent to, or maybe just stay in his presence if you are too tired to talk! He doesn't talk too much, but he can if you want. Always ready to say something to cheer you up, and he doesn't make this stupid comments like "you dont look depressed" or "yeah same lol"! You are his everything and if you need a bit of help? Thats what relationship is all about, he doesnt mind at all! Just cuddle to him, tell him every thought of yours while he caress your head and gently rock back and forth!

☆ Masky

If Masky really does care about you (no worries, he does) he will be great when it comes to taking care about your body. Depression suck and we all know that well. Sometimes it takes away all of your energy and motivation, and its harder to take care of yourself. Thats why you have him! Masky would look after you a lot! He would check if you had eaten - you haven't? He will make you anything to eat, even for you to take small bite becasue you dont have appetite! Have problem with keeping yourself clean? Would help you shower or just clan with wet tissues, brush your teeth and wash your hair. And if your room gets too messy? Has no problem with helping you or just cleaning it by himself. He also keeps an eye on your sleep schedule! Masky doesn't judge - he knows how hard you already have it, and he just want to help. And needing help doesn't make you weak!

☆ Ben Drowned

Listen, Ben is such a dummy and cutie..he would try to make you laugh so bad..! He isnt doing it in this insistent, annoying way - he just do everything he can to make you smile! Cracking more jokes than usually, doing silly faces or you two could watch some silly video with cats/dogs...doesnt matter, he just try so much! He is also good person to stay in home with. He totally gets if you dont feel like socializing and going out, he already made you both a place so you could either play with him or just watch him play. Doesnt matter if you wanna talk, or if small-talk makes you annoyed and you just prefer to seat in silence. Big cuddle bug, so if that makes you feel better then he couldnt ask for more! Ben literally wants to make you feel even slightly better, but he also understand what you are going through and will always be by your side!

☆ "Ticci" Toby

As I said many many times, Toby is curious one - always ready to explore and do some fun stuff. And that makes him the perfect guy to make your days a bit brighter! Toby wants to be here for you, trying his best to get you out of bed and try new hobbies with you. When you are depressed its so easy to get into a routine, and just suffer from sadness and bad thoughts, laying in bed all day and starring at ceiling! And Toby doesn't want that silly! So no matter what is it- baking, cocking, some sport or artsy stuff - he loves that! But no worries, if you dont have that much energy, he will gladly stay with you in home, cuddling and watching movies. Its hard to be bored around him, he has some calming aura around. He understands that he won't make your deprresion dissapear, but Toby wants to make your days even a bit better.

My headcanons for creepy pastas

I needed to make this for a quotev quiz. It only has Jeff, Toby, Ben, EJ, Masky and Hoodie, because those are the results of the quiz, but I do have some of the other creepy pastas. If you want to see them ask and I'll post them.

Tw: mention of r@pe

Jeff-

-Blue eyes, shoulder lengths black hair, extremely pale, in my version he does have eyelids, because if he didn’t he’d be blind by now, he re-cuts his smile every time it starts healing. 

-Before the accident he was really emo

-I’m sure you can imagine

-Did not kill Liu, only attempted to, he was very close with his brother

-He’s very insane, but will sometimes have short spells of sanity, in which he’ll deeply regret what he did to his brother, but no one else, if they’ve never done anything for him, he doesn’t care about them

-His parents weren’t the nicest, they weren’t very loving, and if he or Liu did something wrong they’d get beaten, locked in their room or denied meals. His mother was manipulative and would gaslight them, Jeff especially, their father would go along with anything she said

-Most of the time violent, bloodthirsty and sadistic, you can imagine

-With you he’s different, more calculating, he can’t stand your innocence and purity, and he wants to ruin it

-He learned how to mess with people’s minds from how his mother treated him, he’ll be nice and sweet, and give you kisses and be all gentle, then he’ll punish you for some random thing

-He does love you, in his own twisted way, but he doesn’t really care how you feel, as long as you’re completely dependent on him

-He generally dislikes being touches, but if you give him a kiss, or hold his hand or something he’ll be pleased

Toby-

-Hazel eyes, pale, but sickly pale, he doesn’t go out in the day a lot, messy brown hair, he still chews his fingers, so they’re almost always bandaged

-Has dark sense of humour, can be pretty obnoxious when he’s annoyed

-He likes nature, especially forests, he’ll often spend the night alone outside

-He doesn’t want to kill anyone innocent, but he obeys Slenderman because he saved him, but he has no problem with killing people he doesn’t like

-Unstable

-He loves you more than anything, he’ll do anything to make sure you aren’t hurt, even if it means tying you up and keeping you away from the world

-Brings you small gifts, like pinecones and pretty rocks

-He’ll never physically hurt you on purpose, he doesn’t want to be like his father, it hurts him when he sees you in pain

-Very touch starved, if you give him physical affection. And only you, mind, he’ll be so happy

-He wants to have kids with you

Ben-

-His real form, blond hair, red eyes, but not bleeding, Link outfit, the form he likes to be in, blond hair, blue/green eyes, normal clothes

-Definitely bi

-Crush on Link

-He has mostly the mind of an adult, even though his true form is a 12 year old, he likes to manifest in the form of a 16-19 year old, depending on who he’s with

-LOVES video games, all, not just Legend of Zelda

-Weeb, I don’t know, I can just see it

-He’s manipulative, and will use blackmail and threats to control you

-He will make sure you’re always in the exact state he wants

-He’ll punish you by electrocuting you, appearing in your house and tying you up, then doing things to you, and similar, if you do anything that displeases him

-Horny most of the time, he want you to touch him a lot

-If he’s in a good mood, he’ll get you to play video games with him, and punish you if you’re too bad

EJ-

-Brown hair, fluffy, REALLY tall, like 7’2, claws on his hands, he barely takes off his mask and will only do it if he’s eating or biting you or similar, he looks pretty much human under it, escort his tongues, his teeth are sharp and his skin is almost grey

-He’s angry

-At himself, at everything really, he thinks what happened to him was so UNFAIR

-He doesn’t want to love anyone

-He hates himself, thinks he’s hideous and demonic

-Will hurt you and scare you and try and make you break because he feels like it

-Won’t feel bad

-Really possessive though

-Will probably r@pe you at some point

Masky-

-Looks like he does in Marble Hornets

-Introverted, sarcastic, depressed, you know what I mean

-Hates himself

-Hates The Operator with passion, but is forced to obey him

-Doesn’t want to kill anyone

-He really does care about you, and feels bad whenever you’re upset

-Does small things for you, hoping you’ll notice 

-Plans to one day reveal himself to you, whether he’s allowed or not

-Seriously not a dick, people who makes him like that anger me

-Addicted to cigarettes

-Smokes weed

-Awful sleep schedule

-Tolerates Hoodie, but isn’t as close with him as he was before

-Kills any guys you’re friends with who aren’t related to you (sorry)

[seireitonin]

So yk how Ticci Toby canonly dies?? I’ve tried looking everywhere but I can’t find anything on how he actually died. Like what was the cause of his death?? I really like toby and his character and I just really need to know this😭😭 I was hoping you would know but if you don’t that’s okay!!

Here’s an explanation from kastoway. I’m not typing all that lol. Kastoway in 2021/22 called ticciwork “embarrassing” on his instagram stories. (His words NOT mine) so I’m gonna go with ticciwork and clockwork killing Toby as not canon anymore??? So when I refer to Toby dying I’m talking about this post from kastoways DA. Also gonna include the post of Kastoway himself calling ticciwork “embarrassing” and “leaves a bad taste in his mouth” under the cut so no one thinks I’m being a hater/ making it up. (AGIAN NOT MY WORDS ALL HIS!) Only bringing it up bc some ppl say clockwork kills Toby and that’s how he dies but since both creators hate ticciwork now and don’t consider it canon anymore, I’m gonna go with Kastoways original idea of him living and dying in the mental institution and say that’s what was supposed to happen. (I’m aware of what clockworks creator said in 2018 but I’m going off newer info from 2021/22 bc ppl can change their minds/ change as ppl and that’s obviously what happened with both of them. So yeah personally I’m going off this info. No hate to Ticciwork tho and it sucks that both of the creators hate it now since they don’t look at what they made fondly:((() But as I said before, the og ticci Toby story was supposed to be 1 out of a series of stories about Ticci Toby. The one we all know being the the beginning and Kastoway wanted to write more, going into his life as a proxy through the years that eventually ends with Toby dying I assume. But sadly that didn’t happen so I’m going off what his original idea was for this age chart/ old art of Toby dying for how hes supposed to die. So yeah pick your favorite lol. There’s technically options. But I personally like the og idea of Toby eventually just completely loosing it after years and years and just getting caught. So that’s the closest we have to a canon answer.

[soars22]

It was the best solution they had, at the time.

They hadn’t taken this new “Hostile Faction” seriously at first. How could they? All of the factions were hostile-just look at what had happened with Pangi and the honey. What was a few new bloodthirsty faces to The Realm, really? What harm could a bunch of pirates do?

They should have listened.

It’s been months now of nonstop attacks, of homes and crops ruthlessly and systematically put to the torch, of all their people living in fear. It’s been months and they’re all at their breaking point. They meet up one night, slipping through the darkness to gather in the damp caves beneath the town. It’s the only really neutral place left, since the tavern was destroyed.

“We have to do something,” Bad mutters, pacing over the slippery stones. “Yeah, no shit, dumbass, that’s why everyone’s here,” Foolish snaps back. “And will you stop clopping everywhere with your hooves, you sound like a fucking pony, just clip-clop, clip-clop-“

“Language! I don’t see you offering any suggestions, oh ‘Great King.’”

“Ok, listen, pal, just because we have more people-why, why do I have to come up with something, huh? Why does it have to be me? Why can’t you do it?”

“But, Foolish, you said you had a plan, remember? You told me you were going to give yourself up as a hostage and let yourself be tortured to save us all!”

“What?!?” Foolish shrieks, his voice echoing painfully in the cave. “Oh, fuck that, if anyone’s getting tortured it’s going to be you—“

“Shut UP!” Tubbo snaps, eyes flashing dangerously. “Both of you just fucking stop, this isn’t getting us anywhere. We came here to make a plan, not watch you two flirt with one another!”

“Flirting?!?”

“We are NOT flirting—“

“Oh my GOD, I don’t CARE,” Toby groans, throwing himself to the ground dramatically and flinging an arm across his face. “If I wanted to watch an old married couple, I’d go spend time with Fit and Pac.” Predictably, Foolish and Bad both squawk indignantly at this. Tubbo isn’t listening to them, though; he’s just had a brilliant idea.

“Fit and Pac,” he breathes, sitting up. “Holy shit. My liege!”

“Hmm? Yes, what is it, my humble subject?”

“My liege, how would you feel about having a wife?”

_____________________________________________

“I still don’t understand why I have to wear a dress,” Bad grumbles. “Foolish isn’t wearing a dress.”

“Foolish is voluntarily wearing assless and crotchless lingerie under his armor,” Hannah says soothingly. “Besides, you kick ass in those heels.”

“Language,” Bad mutters morosely. “That’s not the point and you know it.”

“Well, think of it this way,” Pac says brightly. “At least this way you know for sure the curtains matched the drapes, right?” Bad sputters and Hannah cackles and all three of them try to ignore why they’re here in the first place, and what it’s all for. That’s a tomorrow problem, after all.

_____________________________________________

It works-barely. That’s what matters in the end. Bad works tirelessly with the Kingdom of Fools’ smith and archmage, bringing them the resources they need to craft better armor and stronger weapons and tools. Foolish commands his extra troops with chaotic yet undeniable efficiency while Pangi and Pac are a force unto themselves (for years to come, the seas would shiver with the threat of the dreaded “passa tudo”). Tubbo’s crowd pulls their weight as well, of course, with Philza to act as spy, and Tubbo’s concoctions saving more than one life in the rough battles ahead.

But they would have failed if not for the forced proximity a royal union brings. It’s not without its faults or flaws-the argument over last names alone lasted a full week and ended with five missing villages, an exploded mountain top, and a decision to turn their last names into a palindrome) but there is one thing that no one can deny:

It truly was the best decision they had.

chat can u infodump abt phinjeet im intreuged <- hasnt watched pnf but probably should

* UR GIVING ME A FREE PASS TO TALK ABOUT THOZE FREAKZ TOBY ?!??!! I OWE U MY LIFE (sorry this took a while to answer i need time to gather and properly express my thoughtz GAH (also excuze the poor quality of my screenshotz im on a budget))

* this iznt going to be coherent but HERE WE GO

* so a big part of what compelz me about their dynamic iz the fact that theyre essentially on the same level/wavelength , while ofc phineas iz more adventurous and baljeet iz more anxious , theyre equally intelligent (NEEEERRRRDDZZ) and can speak the same nerdy language and truly listen to each other (smth i cant alwayz say for their more popular pairingz with other characterz WGAT WHO SAID THAT WHO SAID THAT)

* i lov when theyre in sync !!!!! i lov when they get each other !!!!!!!! they sincerely care about each otherz interestz becauze they hav Shared interestz !!!!!!!!!!!!

* they hav a shared interest in sci-fi , theyre both big fanz of an in-universe show called space adventure n therez an episode where they go to a sci-fi convention in space adventure cozplay , tho baljeet iz shown to hav a more Persistent interest in it . in candace against the universe he repeatedly triez to uze thingz that happen in space adventure az solutionz to the gangz space related problemz , even against hiz own better judgement and understanding of science , somtimez veering into just straight up infodumping territory . this pretty much alwayz endz poorly lol , ig hyperfixation beatz logic . mood

* (HEZ LITERALLY ME)

* at the end phineas makez hiz own space adventure suggestion , and thatz the only one that actually workz out . SAD !

* they also both lov math n science specifically ! phineas channelz hiz passion into crazy projectz and inventionz while baljeet moreso lovez math itself , and therez an episode where phineas iz shown uploading blueprintz to hiz n ferbz website so baljeet can check the math , which he doez very quickly and then sendz over the updated verzion , and although we only see this once it impliez to me that this iz a regular occurrence to the point where theyve got it down like a routine I JUST THINK THATZ CUTE !!!!! lookit theze nerdz <3333

* i see them az stabilizing forcez to each other , when baljeet iz freaking the hell out about smth phineas can help him look on the brighter side n realize itz not that big of a deal , or assure him thingz will work out . when phineas iz bouncing off the wallz and not thinking very far ahead baljeet can bring him back down to earth and challenge hiz leadership in a way the otherz dont often do , or correct hiz mistakez if need be

* and becauze of the way phin needz jeet to check over hiz math , and the way he misspellz time machine az tie machine in “its about time” , i like to hc phineas like . iznt necessarily Bad at spelling or typing , but iz very prone to making obvious mistakez in hiz haste , so itz great that he haz a nerd friend whoz happy to review hiz work n catch thoze for him YAY

* a similar phin hc i hav iz that , cuz of how hard he hyperfocusez on building stuff , hez constantly getting bruizez n scrapez that he doeznt even notice cuz hez too In The Zone . he could be leaving a trail of blood and would hav no idea LOL till someone pullz him aside to point it out (just adhd thingz <3 hez literally me) . everyone else startz carrying bandaidz for hiz sake . baljeet uzez blue onez , which iz why i pretty much alwayz try to draw phin (at least younger phin) with a blue bandaid on hiz hand . im makin it gay , it symbolizez jeet being there for him when hez hurt ..... hand holding ........... hehehehehehe

* i also somtimez draw jeet with a yellow bandaid on hiz noze for similarly gay reazonz . muahahaha

* at the start of "cranius maximus" baljeet freakz out becauze he feelz like hez getting dumber the more he hangz out with phineas and ferb since he iznt studying 24/7 anymore , even tho id argue the experience he gainz through their adventurez iz just az valuable , but i think itz a fun point since itz kinda noticeable how much more actively baljeet seemz to engage in the backyard gangz activitiez az the show goez on

* it most likely waznt an intentional Story Decizion for jeet to start changing hiz mind about the importance of hiz studiez after s1 , but i wouldve liked if it waz actually treated az like . a change , an arc of sortz . like at the start of the summer hez super focused on school and not interested in pnfz projectz , but az he keepz incidentally landing in their orbit n finding thingz they hav in common he gradually becomez part of the gang

* that half-made-up early summer baljeet probably wouldve been completely content sitting around n studying for hiz summer school classez all day , but here he iz coming to phineas and ferb with hiz “boring” activity , not even directly Asking them to make it more fun , just hoping and trusting that they Will . smth about that getz me idk . he likez playing with spinning topz , but now maybe smth about hiz change in routine haz made them a bit dull , and he trustz that pnf will figure out smth more exciting (and dangerous lol) to make of them . also just . how much they clearly like each other and enjoy being in each otherz company THATZ CUUUUUTE

* and OFC phinjeet wouldnt be phinjeet without "the baljeatles" (I ALWAYZ WRITE IT AZ PHINJEATLEZ IM COOKED) , one of my favorite episodez , in which pnf try to teach baljeet how to rock tm since hez accidentally signed up for a rock n roll camp n iz terrified of getting a bad grade . SUCH A GOOD EPISODE which so many of my phinjeet hcz hinge on , becauze THEY WERE IN LLIKE ?!?!?!?!?!? A PUNK ROCK BAND TOGETHER ?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?! EMOZ ?!?!?!?!?!?!?! /J

* THERE WAZ NO REAZON TO PUT UR ARM AROUND HIM LIKE THAT DAWG I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE . i hc it waz at this very concert that phineas had a gay awakening LOOOL . for the entire episode up till the concert jeet haz been very anxious and uncertain becauze he just doeznt know how to Rock , he doeznt Want to stick it to the man , he doeznt want to break the rulez , but now suddenly he walkz out on stage az a completely different , angry and confident person . i can just vividly picture phin freezing up and forgetting hez suppozed to be doing backup vocalz n stuff n ferb haz to like nudge him and remind him hez on stage . dumbass

* and despite all their wholesomeness theyre not above picking on each other (lightheartedly), which iz also extremely important . somtimez itz one-sided since jeet tendz to be the more petty n snarky one , but yk

* i think therez just . so many little thingz like that that make them such a compelling dynamic to me , n not even necessarily in a ship way , theyre just cute wholesome friendz who like each other !!!! and i think theyre both aro anyway , alloz could never understand phinjeet . thatz a qpr🫵 .

* theyre two nerdz who like sci-fi and space and math . they are sun and moon coded . they are puppy and kitty coded . they are a team that cannot be beaten ("they were also referring to ferb there-" this aint about him/silly) they respect each other and help each other whenever they can . phineas haz a little device that receivez holographic messagez from baljeet whenever he needz help (in One episode but SHH SHHHH) . after candace getz abducted by alienz in candace against the universe baljeet iz the first person they turn to n hez immediately like “i assume you will need me to build another portal” like he just Knowz . and hez fully on board , no questionz asked

* theyre also super autistic !!!!!!! they both hav episodez where they freak out over a change of planz (in "bubble boys" baljeet triez to take phineas' advice to "seize the day" very literally , by planning out every single second of hiz day and then freakz out when hiz schedule iz disrupted . in "bully bromance breakup" jeet forbidz the use of technology az the gang climb a mountain and phin lozez hiz mind , desperately suggesting ideaz for inventionz n gadgetz to the point where he stopz climbing n iz being pulled along by everyone else while curled up into a ball) , they both hav som trouble understanding tone and social cuez , they both infodump and stim , etc

* imagine: they are stargazing together and infodumping to each other about space . they are huddled up on a couch watching a space adventure marathon and eating popcorn , talking to each other for hourz . phin iz hovering over jeetz shoulder az jeet checkz hiz math on a blueprint . they are doing each otherz emo ass make-up and singing together . they are talking about beez and spiderz . they are dyeing each otherz hair . they are drinking cappuccinoz . they are bickering lovingly .

* now lemme yap rq about the aro thing cuz im aro and itz super important to me:

* phineas iz the one whoz more obviously aro coded , most notably cuz of how he never pickz up on any of izabellaz advancez and remainz completely clueless about her feelingz for him , but smth specific that getz me iz the way he talkz about romance in “that sinking feeling” . baljeet freakz out about hiz childhood friend being Pretty now , he wordz it weird like “now she is … a girl !!!” but hez like ten and itz 2009 dw about it

* the point iz , phineas iz like “oh i think what girls really like is romance , we learned all about it in this movie we watched !” . the movie waz titanic , and phineas doeznt think of romance az a feeling or an experience , but az an arbitrary list of itemz from a movie . he thinkz classical muzic , roze petalz , a cruize ship . the ship startz FUCKING SINKING and everyonez panicking and hez like “wow ! is this romance or what !” little guy haz NOOOO idea what the hell romance iz and hez trying hiz best but LOL .

* meanwhile baljeet strikez me az an aro who (in contrast to phineas) iz hyperaware of the amatonormative society around him and feelz obligated to try and fit into it and be “Normal” . he feelz a lot of aesthetic attraction , and partly cuz of PHINEAS’ confuzion about romance , he equatez it to romantic attraction

* he haz like four “love interestz” if u wanna call them that , but theyre mostly pretty shallow or underdeveloped relationship-wize , which i interpret az jeet having Chozen to hav crushez on thoze ppl , misinterpreting platonic and aesthetic attraction , looking at a person like a checklist of dezirable traitz , or just being eazily influenced and pushed into romantic relationshipz becauze of everything else combined with hiz desperation to be “normal”

* how i see their relationship developing iz later in their teenz they get together thinking itz romantic , baljeet finally feelz “fixed” and phineas feelz like he finally Getz It , but the way the ppl around them perceive their relationship , the way they themselvez only want it to be like “super close friends who kiss sometimes” , and the expectationz that are put on them to do/be More etc , make them question whether their feelingz are genuine . then somwhere down the line they (separately) realize theyre aro and that their feelingz for each other are actually queerplatonic and kind of both loze their mindz over it (im projecting my own aro experience here , when i first realized i waz aro i had a sorta-gf n i waz terrified that i wouldnt be able to lov her the “right” way or that i waz leading her on , so thatz also what i imagine going through their headz) . till they try to confess this to each other n realize there waz nothing to worry about cuz they were actually already on the same page n then theyre happy silly qppz forever the end

* az much az i like to make shit up n torture theze two to make them more fucked up than they should be , theyre really just . sweet and inoffensive . theyre buddiez . theyre palz . theyre a team . theyre everything to me and they make me phyzically ill somtimez

* herez som drawingz ! az a gift <3

* this iz certainly not ALL i can say about phinjeet , BUT IM SO TIRED AND THIS POST CANT GO ON FOREVER . so thatz it for neow peace and love <3333

PLL 2x18 Review - As Per Anon Request

18 episodes into a 25 episode season. We used to be a proper society.

"Can you guys back up just a little bit?" LOL why is Caleb SO abrasive.

So

Did the writers do that thing where they were like, WE'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT PUTTING THEM TOGETHER SINCE SEASON 2. Did they retcon and say that he's always kinda been interested in her but he was with Hanna/loved Hanna so he let it go?

They're such teenagers. Hanna's calling and they're all ignoring it. It's not a little suspicious that NONE of you are answering your phones?

of COURSE Emily is the one who drops something and gives them all away. But really, Aria, yelling her name?

This fourteen year old child had multiple fake IDs because she's an assassin.

Aria's earrings never fail to piss me off.

Over Toby? Girl, I guess. I don't know. He can't emote.

"I feel like I'm the reason we're lying to Hanna. Did I push us into doing this?" "No, of course not." Yes she did, Aria, stop lying to her.

"I thought you said your mom was warming to the idea of us being a couple" you are a fucking adult, Ezra.

Spencer wearing Toby's undershirt ... you don't have enough of a story for all of that.

OK Kate's family seems to be wealthy, like they're meant to be old money wealthy or something. Why would she be going to their high school. Then again, Spencer going to that high school is also like ... why.

Nah, all of you are trash for that. The minute that Hanna said that A told her to call off Caleb, they should've been like OK my bad. Considering that A nearly killed Toby like five minutes ago.

Lmao, does anyone tell Spencer to chill the fuck out.

"It's the THIRD degree" lmao Spencer.

If this was a better show, Aria would realize that she should be with Holden and Ezra would go to prison.

Lmao Maia being irritated with Emily's mother is understandable but showing up just to be a dick is pointless. Just don't go to dinner. Unless A told her to do that.

"I was SO worried about Kate backstabbing me, this whole time I didn't realize that YOU WERE HOLDING A KNIFE" if there is anything I can say about this show, they're teenagers.

Although again, it's oddly non-dramatic despite the drama. This show is fascinating.

He's.

a serial killer.

Here Caleb goes, about to make everything worse.

Oh my goddddd what is the point of YOU BETRAYED ME if it all gets resolved in an episode.

1. This wig is amazing

2. Am I really meant to believe that these hairdressers really think that these children are not children? Because it just looks like adults indulging young teenagers by treating them like adults.

Your hair looks great. So many lies this episode.

It just keeps getting worse

WHY would they DO this?

AND SHE SHAKES HER HAIR AND IT DOESN'T EVEN MOVE. OMG. This show is a masterpiece.

I was wondering when the show was going to bring Lolita into this. Honestly.

Why would everyone be staring and snickering at Hanna? They would be staring and snickering at Kate.

EACON4

This is not farewell. This is only see you someday. Somewhen...

What a weekend. So many friends, so much laughter, so many hugs. All of the love.

It started as one of these weekend ought to start, with a canceled train. The train from Hollandse Rading to Utrecht would not depart, so I had to wake up my partner, who was so sweet to bring me to Utrecht. This did enable me to get a train earlier to Rotterdam, leaving me ample time to figure out what platform the train to Paris would depart from and to get @sihtricfedaraaahvicius some breakfast.

We sat in separate compartments for the journey to Paris, though. I talked to a very friendly family who was going to Disney and their daughter made me a few drawings, which was so super adorable.

At Charles De Gaule we met @sihtricsafin and my Scottish friend Beka, who said she'd spotted Arnas at Glasgow airport and likely been with him on the same plane. Beka and I headed to our hotel and checked in. She had a room on her own and I shared one with one of my very best friends, Mary.

Around four I got ready and @lucile-frenchfornerds braided my hair. She and I headed out to the con hotel to gather out con tickets and wait for the cocktail party to start.

We met and hung out with our other friends while we waited and around 18.30 the party commenced.

The atmosphere was so different from last year. The lights were not dimmed and there was no anticipation build up. We just got in and then Eliza and the lads came in, without much fanfare.

I was at a table with Dominika, Rike, Abi and @lucile-frenchfornerds.

I have already forgotten which order we got them in, but Arnas was third. He looked... scruffy. Not at all what I expected, haha. He did ask me how many books I'd written since we last saw each other and did a toast making all of us look him in the eye. That was not as hard as I expected it to be, but his eyes made me melt all the same.

Eliza was fabulous as ever, giving all of us a hug and telling us all we looked good. She is everyone's hypewoman. She spoke a bit about her baby and my god, she looks gorgeous for seven months post partum.

Jacob took it upon himself to get us all drinks. He even roped his handler into helping him carry and it was so precious, but it did mean we had lesser time with him. And that while he is the cutest bean in the entire cast.

Toby, once he'd asked us where we all are from (everyone did this except Jacob, Mark, Arnas and Eliza and it annoyed the shit out of me) started talking about this Irish band and he just filled his entire time with it and that definitely got me started on the wrong foot with this man.

Timmy started about escape rooms and we all went like 'yeah nope' and he said he hates them too and then he sort of starter Dominika about a horror movie about escape rooms.

I am not quite sure what Cavan talked about, but he called us the best table and we all got a hug, so he is okay in my book.

Mark asked us how we were and I almost wanted to comment on the beef-bod + bare-face situation, but I did not. @lucile-frenchfornerds and I both said we had some bad times, but obviously the time was too short for him to unpack that, so he talked abt footie with Rike instead.

Jeppe brung us chocolates. He was so proud of himself, which was adorable. But it was milk chocolate, which always makes my mouth so dry and my drunk had already magically evaporated. Jeppe noticed my expression right away, like a fucking shark and was all disappointed I did not like it. I liked it, I just het a dry mouth, geez!!!

Magnus was fucking fabulous right of the bat. Maybe it was the fact that we are both ginger, or the way that black jumper clung to his chest, but holy fuck, he made me feel a lil weak. He shook out hands and I can't really remember what he talked about, bc all I could focus on was how charming he was. I defo fell in love with him a little.

Micki went for a hug too and that started him on the correct foot. I have no idea what the heck he talked about, it was nothing special. Probably just the regular old where are you from and do you do. I was also a bit too distracted by how FUCK GOOD he looked.

Our table was left sort of alone, while a lot of other tables still had their actor and everything got slightly messy and weird before we got to rotate about for the group picture. It was all around a bit of a messy thing.

Saturday was straight up hectic, but very fulfilling. It was so lovely to see these lovely people (again) and to get so many hugs.

First up was of course Arnas. He looked a lot less scruffy that day. He was perfectly lovely and the picture turned out wonderful too. Nothing special happened. During the selfie he did not quite manage handling my phone, but besides that, he was just lovely. Very very lovely.

The OP with Cavan and Timothy were very staright forward, just a hi, a hug and getting out of there.

Jacob was straightforward too, but the photo with his came out quite bad, so I was allowed to go for a reshoot later that day, thankfully.

James and Eliza were fabulous. They both first hugged me and I was just so happy to see the both of them again.

The only unique pose I did was with Toby. I just had to make use of him wearing that scarf. I was like 'can I fix your scarf as though I am your mom' and he was like 'oh yes, please do' and he made the face and then went like 'I hope you don't mind I looked like a petulant teenager'.

Needless to say I loved it.

During the autographs I definitely got some hugs in and I had a wee chat with James about how life is treating me.

No one managed to keep the christmas card envelope shut and James and Toby were both very happy with the poem I wrote them. Toby defo got competitive about the hug rating, so I got an amazingly sweet hug from him. Everyone also loved the home made cookies and my friend Natalie said they were my calling card.

Arnas reacted well to my tattoo, giving a loud laugh and the next day he said he loved my tats.

Sunday was an invaritable sausage fest. All these handsome men, OH MY!

I had the group op first and it was so brief, omg. I suggested a group hug and OMG I got wrangeled! I couldn't even pick where I stood, I just got squished between Magnus and Mark. The picture is sweet, though.

Then I had my duo and I just went 'pola pt 2' and I was not disappointed. I swear to the Gods I gained three sons that weekend, one in the Toby solo and the other two in the Marnas Duo. They are my mischivous little boys.

I took lovely pictures with Jeppe, Eys, Magnus and Mickie. Straight forward hugs, but very lovely. People keep telling me Mickie and I look like siblings and of course the picture between Magnus and I has so much ginger!!!

With Mark I decided to spruse it up and go all Peggy Carter on him, because the man served BEEF.

The autographs were definitely more high key on sunday. Especially the hug rating got the gents spirited. The only one I did not go to was Eys, but @sihtricfedaraaahvicius went in my stead. Mary did hand over a cookie and the xmas card and pointed me out to Eys, who made it clear he loved the cookie.

Mickie, Jeppe and Magnus understood the asignment with the hug rating! Especially Jeppe. He just held on!!! I think the hug lasted a minute and he is so warm and so cuddly and I love him. Magnus also gathered me up and gave me all his warmth, which stole a piece of my soul, for sure. Micki was shaking a little when we hugged, due to a caffeine overload, or so he told me.

Jeppe adored my poem and thanked me for giving him a piece of me.

The way back I rode with Natalie and Daphne and we went for KFC and had so much fun. I really adore the friendships I made with them and all the other girls there.

I hope I can manage to see all these lovely people again someday soon.

Not a farewell, but also not a see you at EACON5...

[rottenraccoons]

Not sure if this has already been asked yet, but how did the team come up with the four love interests in the first place? I feel like the hardest part of developing a character is figuring out how to start. All four feel so wonderfully complex, and are not very "trope-y," which is what I struggle with the most. Thanks!

Aw, thank you! I love answering stuff like this, so I decided to go through my process on Keir and rambled a bit. I'll put my answer under a readmore for brevity.

For us, we started building Obscura with the idea that we wanted to do something dark and mature, and began with developing a setting. Once we picked and started building out the marketplace under the mountain, we could start asking ourselves "why would anyone go to this place?" and work from there. (Vesper's fractum anima is one answer to this question that we really liked for the MC.)

"Thief" feels like a pretty natural role for a marketplace, and Tobi made it clear that she wanted to develop a very dark character, so I thought a more heroic Robin Hood-type character would be a nice contrast. My original concept of Keir was for a thief who burns for justice in a deeply unjust setting; think shounen-anime hero and you're in the right neighbourhood. Pretty tropey, and I say that with love! Proto-Keir would be a delight to write in a different story.

But the rest of the team didn't think that type of character really suited the dark tone we wanted to work with, and they were right. So we took the trope and twisted it. Yes, he's a good man who burns for justice in an unjust world; and he is extremely burned out. And that twist on the formula unlocked Keir for me and the rest of the team. Burned-out Keir could be exhausted and sarcastic and even cynical about the world, bitter about the state of the marketplace and very protective of Mouse Hole as a place he can improve.

This isn't to say that "burned-out activist Robin Hood" is an original characterisation that's never been done before; TV Tropes has a whole page on the Knight in Sour Armor, which deals with similar characters. But it was the foundation we could build on as a team to make a character that felt strong enough to be a romantic interest.

I've mentioned this before, but one of the inspirations I draw from when I write about the marketplace is the awful Web3/crypto environment, a topic I enjoy reading about mostly for the schadenfreude and ended up learning about as a consequence. For Keir, I use concepts like activist burnout and compassion fatigue, things I learned about much more intimately in 2020 (you can guess why). Taking these real life ideas and bringing them into my writing is my favourite way to add depth and texture to characters and settings. If you're looking to do the same, try looking outside fiction and see what things interest you, then bring them back to your fiction.

Not to say that tropey characters are a bad thing! I could write a whole other essay on the utility of character tropes, especially in the world of romance games. Tropes can be a great place to start constructing characters to ensure that they all have their own appeal, and they're just fun to experience as a reader, especially when it's one of your faves. There's no shame in being a bit tropey, if it suits the story you want to tell!

(And if you're looking for a bit of extra ~secret sauce~: give your characters two things they want super badly, but getting one thing will compromise the other. Safety and love are a classic pair; safety often means staying closed off from other people to avoid being hurt, love requires opening up to others. Then let them struggle with those competing wants.)
