for the peter sutherland girlies đ
people had always judged him. it came with having a father who was branded a traitor. he didnât even care when people talked about him, but now the conspiracy nuts were targeting you. a completely innocent person, all because you had chosen to associate with him. he didnât understand it, didnât think he ever would. and to make it worse, you wouldnât even let him defend you.
if you were being honest you didnât really mind the rumors. at least, not the ones about you. the things people said about you bore no comparison to the horrible lies they spread about peter simply because of who his father was.
âwhy wonât you let me defend you?â peter asks one night when theyâre in bed, some random show on the history channel playing in the background.
you sigh. âpuppy, the things those people say about me are even close to as bad as the things people say about you.â shifting in bed slightly closer to him and taking his hand in yours. âbesides, as stupid as it is, you have to keep your head down a little. if not for yourself then at least for me. youâve worked so hard to get where you are and i donât want some idiots on a the internet to ruin that.â
peter squeezes your hand and remains calm even though a fire was brewing inside when he thought of the things those people said about you. âyou see the things they say about you, right?â
a moment passes. âyes.â
âthe things they say about you arenât just nothing. i can barely make it reading through a couple without wanting to punch someone. not that i go looking for them or anything, itâs just frustrating. at least the people talking about me have a story to run with about the son of a traitor. you havenât done anything wrong. how do you deal with it? that kind of hate, specifically?â
you mute the tv now, being able to tell this was going to be a longer conversation than you anticipated. âyou mean the misogyny?â
peter nods.
âi donât know if what i do is dealing with it, really. none of the things they say are true. about you or me. i know who i am and i know who you are, too. of course it hurts that lies are being spread about me just because of who i love, and it hurts that there are people out there with so much hate in their heart that they feel the need to take it out on me. and on you. but theyâre wrong. thatâs enough for me.â
a couple seconds pass before you speak again, âiâll still defend you from stupid trolls online though.â
âso you can do it but i canât?â he smiles.
you love his smile and wished it was a permanent fixture on his face. âpretty much, bub. i know you donât like talking about it too much but, you deserve it.â
âand you donât?â
narrowing your eyes at him, you tell him, âthatâs not what iâm saying, you dork. im saying you deserve to have someone looking out for you. i already have someone to look out for me no matter what. youâve been doing it since we met.â
peters eyes havenât moved from yours, and theyâre full of love for you. âitâs weird.â
you tilt your head. âwhat is?â
âhaving someone look out for me. i havenât had someone do that for me in a while. even when i was with zoe.â he meant it. you were always supportive of him and it never wavered, even when he told you who his father was. when he needed someone to lean on, he always knew youâd be there with open arms.
you smiled softly, your hand reaching up to touch his face. âi kinda figured. itâs not that i donât want or appreciate your support, i promise. you give so much to me without even thinking about it and i wanted and still want to do the same for you. youâre a good man, peter. the best man iâve ever known. it kills me knowing what youâve been through and that no one even bothered to support you afterwards.â
a couple minutes pass, his eyes closed and your palm resting on his cheek. peter savors this moment of peace and unconditional love that he hasnât known in a long time. soon his left hand was moving towards yours, gently grabbing it and giving it a short kiss. âi love you. you know that, right?â
âi do.â you lean forward to kiss his forehead, feeling the tension leave his body from just your touch. âyou know i love you too, right? i know you sometimes have a hard time accepting it because itâs not what youâre used to, but i love you with everything iâve got. nothingâll ever change that and i mean it. youâre kinda stuck with me.â
peter lets out a small chuckle, bringing you close to press a chaste kiss onto your lips. âi know. i may not always understand it, but i know.â

I've always found Alexander Saburov interesting, especially P1 Rubin's take on him where he tells how Alexander in incognito saved people from burning house and went unrecognized for the deed (nor flaunted it). Wonderful and easy to miss characterization.
YES saburov's fucked up sense of performing duty by putting himself at risk... my favorite... have had thoughts brewing in response to this that aren't quite cooked enough yet but it's very much a gendered standard that he holds himself to IMO, of idealized masculinity as a responsibility. as an active role and as the way things must be done. making the choices that he thinks need to be made regardless of how bad they are for him. pairing beautifully with katerina's self-destructive attempts to conform to the extremely feminine-gendered role of mistress, pairing wonderfully with the two of them's catastrophic attempt to conform to the heteropatriarchal nuclear family archetype by adopting the changeling :^) and especially how this is a function of how saburov relates to his Job, a role that's been passed down in his family and Actually Is critical to the function of the Town, inescapably so as long as the system of rulers exists
#it Is a little funny to me that p1 showed this family structure being flawed so extensively (with all three rulers!) and now p2 is a You#Must Get A Wife And Kids Then Everything Will Be Fine simulator (...more or less w/ all three rulers but mostly re: the player).#alexander saburov#asks#anonymous#also stream ee's song Big Climb. I have no idea how it wasn't previously on my ee exclusive saburovs playlist but it's very them#further: I do think gender is a factor in saburov's vitriol towards peter/the architects (in this view of masculinity as self-discipline#/moderation. They Don't Do It Like That) and I think that's a fun field to explore in several directions. and to contrast with rubin who ha#a similar outlook about his own gender ('perfect valor' etc.) but is an outcast and out of the spotlight in a gay coded way; whereas#alexander and his wife are under the utmost scrutiny wrt being held to Gendered Positions in the town AND are bound by duty and history to#uphold its traditions. like. saburov has no escape that could result in a healthier relationship with gender#and if you're a wise-minded saburovs t4t enjoyer... well... The Layers Only Deepen#pathologic

checked out of current spider man rn so I've been making predictions for asm 54 since the preview came out and it's like. It's great how we've ignored decades of characterisation for shitty movie synergy, bad retcons and nonsensical out of character writing for everyone involved. Kinda appatheic to it at this point.
#and antisemitism lol#peter has very strong Jewish coding they should not be doing any 'peter becomes the goblin' plot#ans this is the least important part but from the preview. this feels far too similar to two different#older. sort of 'goblin peter' stories but worse. especially with the body hopping like oh someone read tom defalcos spider girl didn't they#also the ableism. i cant put it into words but its felt like. very ableist to me.#im also 90% sure how this arc will end and if it does wnd that way it'll be a stupid way to kill off a character#puzzling posts

One of the most important parts of this film is the design of each individual character. Due to the sheer number of characters introduced in this film, the way each character is presented visually provides development and world building that would otherwise be glossed over for the sake of time. By incorporating the Sex Pistols font, lace code (blue meaning killed a cop), bold colors, and other symbols representative of the 70s English Punk scene into Hobie's character design, a backstory is given to an otherwise enigmatic character. Including watercolor-style backgrounds that changed along with the mood of the scene Into Gwen's world, emotions could be conveyed without the use of dialogue which contributed to the complexity of the character. Interestingly, Miguel's design was very discordant. While his suit was futuristic, electronic to the point of glitching out and staticing when Miles overloaded it with energy, his face noticeably still had its sketch lines, giving him rough and unfinished feel. I believe this is a stylistic choice that plays into the ongoing theme that Miguel is not quite where he is supposed to be, as seen in Peters joke about how he is the only unfunny Spiderman or the fact that he's seemingly using synthesized venom to act as Spiderman. Ultimately the best design character was the Spot. I am astonished that the writers and directors of this movie developed a villain that was only in a handful of TV show episodes and comics, never being taken seriously, into a genuinely frightening character with a serious vendetta. Much of this is done through the development that the Spot's design has throughout the movie. As the characters style shifts from that of Miles' own Earth to 2D schizophrenic crayon drawing, it demonstrates that the character has developed from the typical bad-guy-of-the-week to a serious threat, without having to take too much time actually focusing on the character. The character jarringly pops out against the otherwise bright and three-dimensional animations in the rest of the film. I am excited to see the 2D version in action in the third film.
iâm so incredibly unwell about this movie this is actually insane.

Watching interviews from the olden days and finding gold.
Finding out that Hugh Jackman having to "be the alarm clock" for James Mcavoy and Micheal Fassbender because of how hung over they were is simply hilarious.
Also finding out that James slammed them into a Lexus (only doing 12 miles an hour) got thrown 10 feet, immediately got up and looked back to see Micheal (who was once on the back of the golf cart) now sitting upright in the drivers seat after smacking his head on the seat and got a gash scar on his leg from it- Only to start "maniacally laughing" and literally RAN AWAY once blamed, Is also so young cherik coded.
These crack heads definitely were getting into some nonsense trouble.
Micheal saying he thought the scene from the strip club with charles and angel "I thought we looked like the two old men from the muppets"
Micheal calling the x men "Charlie- boy's kids". Perfection.
Also the way James looks at him when ever Micheal just bursts out into song is so pure. The "wow this idiot... thats my idiot." Glitter in his eye.
James finding out that Micheal isn't american by driving up to him on a vespa, and screaming at him in his normal voice is so funny.
"Fuck you erik-"
"His names derik."
"How long has he name been derik?"
"Since the begining- you just keep calling him that."
Even the bloopers of Hank and Charles are such a vibe.
"Hold your breath but make it look like you aren't holding your breath" Man these leather suits gave them so many problems fr.
"I already said im not a man. I cant jump this damn wall!" I think storm says as the director goes right up to hugh and is like "Litsen when I say so youre gonna jump this wall" and hughs like idk about that mate. "Ill be talking to you through the big microphone that everyone hates" says the director. "Were gonna take the batteries out if it" says someone else.
Hughs stunt double: *screams*
Hugh: Let it go sis
Hughs stunt double: *dies*
Something about how the directors talk to hugh and how hugh speaks directly to multiple set members makes me feel like half the cuts they had to make was because of him joking and being a silly theater kid LMAO
Everyone randomly dancing all the time, including old magneto.
James too. The blooper of him violently killing a bug on the chess set in the plane scene is so "insane charles" iconic.
Also poor Evan peters. He kept slipping everywhere. And theres so many shots where hes just standing there in charater getting absolutely soaked while charles and Logan do some ridiculous shit lol. Him at panels is so awkward too. Describe your character " hes a little weird uhhhh hes fast. Hes quick. He talks fast he runs fast..... uhhh its like at the atm waiting for the bastard infront of you to move out the way" "I wish my dad magneto could try these đ" "thats my dad"
Evan also wishes they would have done the scene in apocalypse where he tells him hes his son and all the metal in the room drops. Im someone has written this already but that sounds great.
"THATS MY SON, QUICKSILVER!" Shouts Micheal multiple times. "My boy!" "Its in the genes darling." "I had him when I was very young đ"

Tamagotchi - Ficlet ft. Rarity, Twilight, Fluttershy
PROMPT: Fluttershy asks Twilight to bring back her Tamagotchi pet after it accidentally dies
-----
When Fluttershy barged into Golden Oaks, reduced to tears, Twilight Sparkle feared the worst. Somepony had upset her sensitive friend, or a book she'd lent her had been accidentally too sad, or worse, one of Fluttershy's animals had died.
Which they had. Sort of. Kind of.
"Please, Twilight," Fluttershy sniffed, dabbing at her puffy eyes with a tissue. "Please, t-there must be something you can do! I've only had Sorbet for a week, and I promise I've taken good care of him, and--"
Twilight pursed her lips, hesitantly looking over the small purple electronic Tamagotchi. "One minute, let me see what I can do." She turned away from Fluttershy, fiddling with it for a moment before determining that, unfortunately, the battery was likely faulty.
"Well?" Fluttershy pressed. "Did you find out what's wrong?"
"I... I think so, yes," Twilight replied, still looking over the device. "The battery is shot. It's an easy fix, and I even have spares to give you, but... Well. The internal memory of these things usually rely on the battery, so--" She turned around to look at Fluttershy, her sentence petering out at the hopeful expression on her friend's face.
"So?" Fluttershy asked, her ears alert. "So you can bring Sorbet back?!"
Twilight smiled. Awkwardly.
"Ha ha. Well. Er."
Fluttershy's ears fell. Tears bordered her eyes anew. "....Twilight?"
"Yes!" Twilight lied, because she couldn't bring herself to tell Fluttershy that Sorbet was gone.âHeâll be there, just like always!â
âReally?!â Fluttershy gasped.
âYes! Yep. Yes.â Twilight immediately levitated the Tamagotchi over to a bookcase. âThough, I, uh, need to keep him overnight just to make sure heâll be okay. Alright?â At Fluttershyâs effusive nodding, Twilight apparated a notebook and pen. âAnd, uh, why donât you, er, write down all the information you remember about him? Just so I can make sure the coding didnât change.â
âOf course!â Fluttershy grabbed the notebook and immediately got to work. âOh, thank you, Twilight!â
----
It was about three in the morning when Twilight Sparkle finally decided it was time to pass the torch. With bleary, tired eyes, she blinked at the details Fluttershyâd written, and then looked at the creature sheâd been painstakingly grinding for hours. It had taken her about sixty-eight reboots to get a creature with the same shape, color, nature, gender, and preferences as the original Sorbet, and sheâd only just gotten to the halfway point of matching its experience levels to the originalâs.Â
Thank Celestia for the book sheâd read on using magic to hack devices. There was no other way sheâd been able to bypass the time-locked events otherwise.Â
To the sound of a big yawn, she walked towards the bed, tiredly rubbing the snoring blanketed lump on the couch.Â
âRarity, itâs your turn.â
âSssssnore.â
Twilight rolled her eyes. âRarity.â
âSSSSSNOOOOORE.â
âCome on! Up! Why did you send Fluttershy to get my help if you donât like my solution?â Twilight chided, far too tired for shenanigans. âAnd stop that, we both know you donât snore!â
âSSSSNOOOOââ The blanket came off, and a weary Rarity glared at her friend. âFine, fine!â She magically snatched the Tamagotchi and frowned at it. âThis is ridiculous, Twilight! Itâs just a game! Sorbet isnât even real!â
Twilight arched an eyebrow. âOh? Do you want to tell Fluttershy that?â
Rarity looked away. â...No.â
âThatâs what I thought. So, go!â She collapsed onto the couch and covered herself with blanket. âLevel twenty-three. Six gifts pending. The complete sunflower outfit.â
âBut the minigame is so difficult, and we already have the hat! Isnât that enouââ
âComplete. Sunflower. Outfit.â
âButâ!â
âSNOOOOORE!!!!â
----
âOh, Twilight!â Fluttershy exclaimed the very next day, her eyes now filled with happy tears as she pressed button on her little device. âHeâs fine! Iâm so relieved!â She brought the device to her face and nuzzled it. âOh, Sorbet, Iâm so happy!â
âAnd everything is as you remember?â Twilight asked, the bags under her eyes matching the ones of Rarity, who was napping on the couch. âNot that it would be different, obviously! Because itâs the same Sorbet as always.â
âHeâs just like always,â Fluttershy reassured her, allowing Twilight to finally relax. Or, well, until Fluttershy frowned, peering at her electronic friend. âOh, thatâs strange.â
âStrange?â Twilight asked, alert. âWhat is?â
Fluttershy blinked. âOh. Itâs just⊠His favorite fruit was oranges, but now itâs apples?â
âHe changed his mind,â Rarity said, immediately, without even missing a beat or even turning around on the couch to look.Â
Fluttershy looked at her friends, surprised. âHe changed his minâ?â
âYep!â Twilight interrupted. âYep. They do that. Yep.â
âBut he really loved orangââ
âDarling!â Rarity continued. âConsidering your crush on dear Applejack, itâs only natural heâd switch to apples, yes? Yes,â she interrupted, poor Fluttershyâs cheeks turning thirty different shades of red. âProblem solvââ
Twilight blinked at Fluttershy. âYou have a crush on Applejack?â
âRarity!â a flustered Fluttershy gasped in return.
âSSSSSNOOOOOOOOREâŠ.â

'We buy ugly houses' is code for 'we steal vulnerable peoples' homes'
Tonight (May 11) at 7PM, Iâm in CALGARY for Wordfest, with my novel Red Team Blues; Iâll be hosted by Peter Hemminger at the Memorial Park Library, 2nd Floor.
Home ownership is the American dream: not only do you get a place to live, free from the high-handed dictates of a landlord, but you also get an asset that appreciates, building intergenerational wealth while you sleepâââliterally.
If youâd like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, hereâs a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/11/ugly-houses-ugly-truth/#homevestor
Of course, you canât have it both ways. If your house is an asset you use to cover falling wages, rising health care costs, spiraling college tuition and paper-thin support for eldercare, then it canât be a place you live. Itâs gonna be an asset you sellâââor at the very least, borrow so heavily against that you are in constant risk of losing it.
This is the contradiction at the heart of the American dream: when America turned its back on organized labor as an engine for creating prosperity and embraced property speculation, it set itself on the road to serfdomâââa world where the roof over your head is also your piggy bank, destined to be smashed open to cover the rising costs that an organized labor movement would have fought:
https://gen.medium.com/the-rents-too-damned-high-520f958d5ec5
Today, weâre hit the end of the road for the post-war (unevenly, racially segregated) shared prosperity that made it seem, briefly, that everyone could get rich by owning a house, living in it, then selling it to everybody else. Now that the game is ending, the winners are cashing in their chips:
https://doctorow.medium.com/the-end-of-the-road-to-serfdom-bfad6f3b35a9
The big con of home ownership is proceeding smartly on schedulee. First, you let the mark win a little, so they go all in on the scam. Then you take it all back. Obamaâs tolerance of bank sleze after the Great Financial Crisis kicked off the modern era of corporations and grifters stealing Americansâ out from under them, forging deeds in robosigning mills:
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/us-breaks-down-93-bln-robo-signing-settlement-2013-02-28
The thefts never stopped. Today on Propublica, by Anjeanette Damon, Byard Duncan and Mollie Simon bring a horrifying, brilliantly reported account of the rampant, bottomless scams of Homevestors, AKA We Buy Ugly Houses, AKA âthe #1 homebuyer in the USAâ:
https://www.propublica.org/article/ugly-truth-behind-we-buy-ugly-houses
Homevestorsâââan army of the hedge fund Bayview Asset Managementâââclaims a public mission: to bail out homeowners sitting on unsellable houses with all-cash deals. The companyâs franchiseesâââ1,150 of them in 48 statesâââthen sprinkle pixie dust and secret sauce on these âugly housesâ and sell them at a profit.
But Propublicaâs investigationâââwhich relied on whistleblowers, company veterans, court records and interviews with victimsâââtells a very different story. The Homevestor they discovered is a predator that steals houses out from under elderly people, disabled people, people struggling with mental illness and other vulnerable people. Itâs a company whose agents have a powerful, well-polished playbook that stops family members from halting the transfers the companyâs high-pressure salespeople set in motion.
Propublica reveals homeowners with advanced dementia who signed their shaky signatures to transfers that same their homes sold out from under them for a fraction of their market value. They show how Homevestor targets neighborhoods struck by hurricanes, or whose owners are recently divorced, or sick. One whistleblower tells of how the company uses the surveillance advertising industry to locate elderly people whoâve broken a hip: âa 60-day countdown to deathâââand, possibly, a deal.â The companyâs mobile ads are geofenced to target people near hospitals and rehab hospitals, in hopes of finding desperate sellers who need to liquidate homes so that Medicaid will cover their medical expenses.
The sales pitches are relentless. One of Homevestorâs targets was a Texas woman whose father had recently been murdered. As she grieved, they blanketed her in pitches to sell her fatherâs house until âchecking her mail became a traumatic experience.â
Real-estate brokers are bound by strict regulations, but not house flippers like Homevestors. Likewise, salespeople who pitch other high-ticket items, from securities to plane ticketsâââare required to offer buyers a cooling-off period during which they can reconsider their purchases. By contrast, Homevestorsâ franchisees are well-versed in âmuddying the titleâ to houses after the contract is signed, filing paperwork that makes it all but impossible for sellers to withdraw from the sale.
This produces a litany of ghastly horror-stories: homeowners who end up living in their trucks after they were pressured into a lowball sales; sellers who end up dying in hospital beds haunted by the trick that cost them their homes. One woman who struggled with hoarding was tricked into selling her house by false claims that the city would evict her because of her hoarding. A widow was tricked into signing away the deed to her late husbandâs house by the lie that she could do so despite not being on the deed. One seller was tricked into signing a document he believed to be a home equity loan application, only to discover he had sold his house at a huge discount on its market value. An Arizona woman was tricked into selling her dead motherâs house through the lie that the house would have to be torn down and the lot redeveloped; the Homevestor franchisee then flipped the house for 5,500% of the sale-price.
The company vigorously denies these claims. They say that most people who do business with Homevestors are happy with the outcome; in support of this claim, they cite internal surveys of their own customers that produce a 96% approval rating.
When confronted with the specifics, the company blamed rogue franchisees. But Propublica obtained training materials and other internal documents that show that the problem is widespread and endemic to Homevestorsâ business. Propublica discovered that at least eight franchisees who engaged in conduct the company said it âdidnât tolerateâ had been awarded prizes by the company for their business acumen.
Franchisees are on the hook for massive recurring fees and face constant pressure from corporate auditors to close sales. To make those sales, franchisees turn to Homevanaâs training materials, which are rife with predatory tactics. One document counsels franchisees that âpain is always a form of motivation.â What kind of pain? Lost jobs, looming foreclosure or a child in need of surgery.
A former franchisee explained how this is put into practice in the field: he encountered a seller who needed to sell quickly so he could join his dying mother who had just entered a hospice 1,400 miles away. The seller didnât want to sell the house; they wanted to âget to Colorado to see their dying mother.â
These same training materials warn franchisees that they must not deal with sellers who are âsubject to a guardianship or has a mental capacity that is diminished to the point that the person does not understand the value of the property,â but Propublicaâs investigation discovered âa pattern of disregardâ for this rule. For example, there was the 2020 incident in which a 78-year-old Atlanta man sold his house to a Homevestors franchisee for half its sale price. The seller was later shown to be âunable to write a sentence or name the year, season, date or month.â
The company tried to pin the blame for all this on bad eggs among its franchisees. But Propublica found that some of the companyâs most egregious offenders were celebrated and tolerated before and after they were convicted of felonies related to their conduct on behalf of the company. For example, Hi-Land Properties is a five-time winner of Homevestorsâ National Franchise of the Year prize. The owner was praised by the CEO as âloyal, hardworking franchisee who has well represented our national brand, best practices and values.â
This same franchisee had âfiled two dozen breach of contract lawsuits since 2016 and clouded titles on more than 300 properties by recording notices of a sales contract.â Hi-Land âsued an elderly man so incapacitated by illness he couldnât leave his house.â
Another franchisee, Patriot Holdings, uses the courts aggressively to stop families of vulnerable people from canceling deals their relatives signed. Patriot Holdingsâ co-owner, Cory Evans, eventually pleaded guilty to to two felonies, attempted grand theft of real property. He had to drop his lawsuits against buyers, and make restitution.
According to Homevestorsâ internal policies, Patriotâs franchise should have been canceled. But Homevestors allowed Patriot to stay in business after Cory Evans took his name off the business, leaving his brothers and other partners to run it. Nominally, Cory Evans was out of the picture, but well after that date, internal Homevestors included Evans in an award it gave to Patriot, commemorating its sales (Homevestors claims this was an error).
Propublicaâs reporters sought comment from Homevestors and its franchisees about this story. The company hired âa former FBI spokesperson who specializes in âcrisis and special situationsâ and âreputation managementâ and funnelled future questions through him.â
Internally, company leadership scrambled to control the news. The company convened a webinar in April with all 1,150 franchisees to lay out its strategy. Company CEO David Hicks explained the companyâs plan to âburyâ the Propublica article with ââstrategic ad buys on social and web pagesâ and âSEO content to minimize visibility.ââ
https://www.propublica.org/article/homevestors-aims-to-bury-propublica-reporting
Franchisees were warned not to click links to the story because they âmight improve its internet search ranking.â
Even as the company sought to âburyâ the story and stonewalled Propublica, they cleaned house, instituting new procedures and taking action against franchisees identified in Propublicaâs article. âClouding titlesâ is now prohibited. Suing sellers for breach of contract is âdiscouraged.â Deals with seniors âshould always involve family, attorneys or other guardians.â
During the webinar, franchisees âpushed back on the changes, claiming they could hurt business.â
If youâve had experience with hard-sell house-flippers, Propublica wants to know: âIf youâve had experience with a company or buyer promising fast cash for homes, our reporting team wants to hear about it.â

idk if u listen to taylor swift but her song mastermind (which is kinda like maneuvering things around to get together with someone) would be so cool to read with TASM! Peter !! Maybe the reader realizes Peter is Spiderman after recognizing his voice and then tries her hardest to become Peterâs friend in school and kinda puts all the pieces together herself (+ the line âto assess the equation of youâ is so peter coded) also I feel like smart reader deserves more rep đ like no way she wouldnât recognize his cocky ass voice
Again this is just like. Me spilling out my random thoughts đ€ -đ (sorry for spam)
Hi lovely! I didn't stick to this very faithfully, but it did inspire an idea that I'd be remiss not to give you credit for! It's established relationship, where reader has figured out Peter is Spiderman (I agree she's not dumb and that needs to be regonized). Thank you <33
cw: a whiff of harassment (more of an attempt really, but if that will upset you please don't read)
tasm!Spiderman x fem!reader ⥠1.3k words
Itâs hard to feel totally vulnerable walking around the city at night when you know youâre never really by yourself. Peter thinks heâs so stealthy, but he canât always avoid casting shadows on the street ahead of you; you were bound to catch onto his well-intentioned stalking eventually. Youâre not totally sure why he doesnât just walk you home as himself (youâre coming from his apartment, itâs not like it would have been so difficult to ask), but your boyfriend seems to prefer stepping into his alter-ego when he thinks thereâs any possibility for danger.Â
It turns out this time, he was right.
Itâs not that you donât see the man walking in the opposite direction of you (youâd have to be blind to miss the slow, performative up-down he gives you) or notice his mouth moving in your periphery, but youâre city-trained; you keep your eyes ahead, hoping heâll see that youâve got your earbuds in and leave you alone when he doesnât get the attention he wants.Â
The man passes you, and youâre thinking youâre in the clear when thereâs a forceful tug on your elbow. You very nearly pitch forward in your haste to get away from the unwelcome touch, but then the hand is wrenched away, and you turn to find the man stuck to a newspaper dispenser with one wrist covered in a familiar white filmy substance. A second later, and his other hand is webbed to the car behind him.Â
You pull out your earbuds just as Spiderman lands in front of you, the tilt of his head indicating that heâs looking you over for damage.Â
âHey, what the fuck!â The man sputters. âI was just trying to pay the bitch a complimentââ
âAlright, thanks for that, pal.â Spiderman webs his mouth shut, and your harasser continues his muffled protests. âMaybe we just have different styles, but most of my compliments donât start with unsolicited commentary on a strangerâs boobs.âÂ
You curl your lip, and the man looks like a dog on its leash the way heâs tugging against his restraints. Your rescuer webs his feet in place, stopping their scraping against the sidewalk.
âYou know,â he says, turning to you, and heâs not even trying to disguise his voice, âyou should really have at least one earbud out if youâre walking by yourself at night. Thatâs just the first entry in the Pretty Girl Guidebook.âÂ
You grin at him. âI think the first entry in the Pretty Girl Guidebook would really advocate more for playing damsel in distress to lure charming heroes your way. Walk me home, handsome?âÂ
You start back on your way, and he follows you like itâs all he knows how to do. Heâs quiet, and though you canât see his expression behind the mask, you wonder if youâve actually startled Spiderman into silence. If he expects you to be bashful and awestruck, heâs got another thing coming; youâre typically a bit shy around new people, but Peter isnât new people.Â
âYeah?â he asks after a second, and you wonder if youâd be able to detect the slight pitchiness to his voice if you didnât know it so well. âSo was that the plan all along? Get yourself attacked to get yourself rescued?âÂ
âNo.â You shrug, casting a disdainful glance back toward the man whoâd grabbed you. âI donât go out looking for trouble, but I know that if it finds me,â you say, looking up into the mask with a simpering smile, âIâve got Brooklynâs friendly neighborhood hero to protect me.âÂ
You think he actually gulps. âIâm flattered you think so highly of me, sweetheart, but you really should take some precautionary measures too.âÂ
âWell, I suppose I couldâve asked my boyfriend to walk home with me,â you muse, âbut he seemed like he was eager to have me gone. Better things to do, apparently.â
âWhat?â Itâs a squawk, and then Peter clears his throat from behind the mask. âIâm sure if your boyfriendâs a sensible guyâwhich, I mean, anyone who managed to snag a girl like you must not be totally airheadedâIâm sure he didnât mean to rush you off.âÂ
âI donât know.â You frown, looking off in front of you contemplatively. âHeâs book smart for sure, but he can be kind of dense sometimes.â You can feel your companionâs hesitation like a prickle at your side, his uncertainty of how to go about this conversation with you, and it catches him offguard when you stop to look up at him with coy, wide eyes. âDo you think youâre a sensible guy?â
His voice is strangled. âMe?â
âMhm,â you hum, slowly moving into his space.Â
âIâI like to think so, sure.âÂ
Itâs all you can do not to giggle at how easily his cocky persona has come undone. Youâre having too much fun to even feel bad about the torment youâre inflicting upon your boyfriend. âMaybe I should be with you, then,â you say.Â
He actually takes a step back. âButâbutâuh, listen, youâre really pretty, but didnât you say you had a boyfriend?âÂ
âYeah,â you say softly, batting your eyelashes up at him, âwhat about him?â
Youâve got your hands on his shoulders, lips so close to his face you can feel the warmth of his breath through the mask, and you actually think heâs going to do it. Heâs going to let you kiss him. You shove playfully at his chest, unable to contain your laughter anymore.
âPete, câmon,â you say, careful to keep your voice low. âYou must think Iâm an idiot. You really thought I wouldnât recognize you?â Â
Thereâs a few moments of wordless sputtering which you canât really hold against him, and then Peterâs whisking you into an alley, pulling his mask off.Â
âSorry for fucking with you,â you say while heâs still getting his bearings. He runs a hand through his hair, eyes wide. âIt was just so easy to flirt back. You made it too much fun for me.âÂ
âJesus, babe.â Peter fists a hand in his hair, already fluffy from being handled so much. âWhen did you figure it out?âÂ
âI mean, before today, but not very long ago,â you admit. âI knew something was up for a lot longer, but I didnât put it together until you helped me with that mugger a few weeks ago.â You quirk a playful eyebrow. âYou should at least try to distort your voice if youâre going to be Spiderman around people who know you in real life, you know.âÂ
âNever had to with Flash,â he mutters. âWhy didnât you say anything to me?â
You turn a bit more sheepish, unsure if you should feel guiltier about keeping your realization from him. To be fair, though, heâd kept a whole crime-fighting secret identity from you. âIs there ever a right time?â you ask him with a little shrug. âI guess I eventually wanted you to tell me on your own. I get why you didnât, but itâs not like youâre exactly choosing to trust me here.âÂ
âI do,â Peter says immediately. He takes your shoulder in hand, like he needs to keep you steady to make sure youâre hearing him. âI do trust you, honey. It was never about trust.â He passes a hand over his face, shock melding into something more like dread. âIt just, it could be dangerous for you, if youâre ever seen with me and it's obvious you know who I am, or something. I didnât want to drag you into anything. There areâŠnot everyone thinks of me as the friendly neighborhood hero you do.âÂ
He gives you a little smile, and you return it, stroking his jaw in an attempt at comfort. âI know,â you say softly.Â
âWeâre going to have to be careful.âÂ
âI know. Pete?âÂ
âYeah?â
âIf weâre being careful, you should probably put your mask back on.âÂ

hey! here's the rip of all of dialtown's text!
hiiiii it's finally here! i cleaned it up! every line of dialogue in the game ripped out (over 300k words, it's a chunky game!) and laid out in plain text for your easy reference. includes both the basegame and roger dlc!
HOW THIS WORKS:
there's a couple versions of the 000 ALL THE TEXT IN THE GAME CLEAN file. this is the entire game in one file, for easy crtl+f'ing. it's also the cleanest version, without any code/font specification/color specification present. this file is included in both .txt and .docx versions. i don't recommend opening this file with google docs, the length makes it sad. it works just fine for me opening in MS word and notepad for searching up dialogue. this is what it looks like!
there is also the 000 RAW ALL THE TEXT IN THE GAME file. this is the un-cleaned-up version, as the text ripper spit it back out at me. it has no paragraph breaks. it looks like this.
lastly is all the rest of the files in the drive, ALL THE INDIVIDUAL MAP FILES. in these, dialogue is split up by each individual map (generally, every scene is its own map). these are ordered and named according to the ingame data. these also include code bits- font changes, text colors, pauses in speaking, text size, and so on. it looks like this!
enjoy! i hope you find it useful. (and tysm to dogman for permission to post this!)
HOW TO READ THESE:
so, there's a couple quirks with these. firstly, nested choices don't really display in a very comprehensible format: they're more just in order. so, for example, this exchange:
what i've highlighted here first are gingi's 3 dialogue options. you can see each option denoted by a -. so like:
Gingi: -"Option 1." -"Option 2." -"Option 3."
the corresponding start of peter's dialogue is highlighted in the same color. in cases like this, you mostly have to use context to figure out what's responding to what.
you'll also see repeated lines when someone uses a gendered term to refer to gingi- all versions of the line (for whether you're playing as a man/woman/neither) will be in a row, like so.
one kink i wasn't able to iron out is the narrator's dialogue in the all-the-text-in-the-game file. while the paragraph breaks in the individual map files make it clear (because the narrator's the only one with no name and font tags), the all-the-text file just has narrator's dialogue immediately follow whoever spoke previously, almost always gingi. use context clues, or check up on the individual map file
all-the-text:
individual map:
use context clues, or check up on the individual map file to be absolutely sure. if you want to know which map file you're at, scroll up til you get to something that looks like this:
so, you can see that this convo with madame mediocre happens in map 31, "randmug". this one!
you may also notice the blank space or \n[#] where gingi's pronouns would go. that's just a byproduct of the pronoun system. imagine whichever gingi-noun you wish
laaastly, a little guide to the individual map files' code bits, or at least the most common ones:
\fn changes font. usually present at the start of someone's dialogue
\. indicates a 1/4 second pause in dialogue
\c[#] changes the font color
\{ and \} text within these brackets is bigger
\m[Name] a shorthand macro used for a few characters to call their font and color.
\fi makes text italic. most of the text in the game is in italics, so a lot of dialogue starts with this.
i think that's all the notes i've got..let me know if i've missed anything egregious. have fun!

The clock was ticking by very slowly today. Too slow. I kept eyeballing it as I anxiously waited for the seconds to pass by, silently wishing it would go by faster. It was just another day at the cozy bookshop I had opened a little over 2 years ago. The smell of vintage, used, and new books blended together in harmony with the mix of my lavender essence I had at the front. A few customers roamed amongst the shelves, skimming their fingers along the edges and quiet voices humming in the air. It was a slow day, by any means, but it was even slower as I waited impatiently for the clock to start my wonderful date night. I tapped against the book I was reading and watched as the seconds clock ticked by. Is it getting slower? I should have the mechanic check it out. But thatâs so expensive, I can just do i-
âAre you okay there, sugarplum?â The customer asked, interrupting my thoughts.
I shook a little, but smiled nonetheless. âYes, Mrs. Johnson. Iâm just a little distracted today.â I replied, scanning her books.Â
âWhatâs got your mind warped, sugar?â She asks, taking out her wallet.
âWell,â I started, bagging her order and tapping on the screen. âI have a date tonight.â
âOooo, is it that attractive, serious, brunette man? Heâs been looking at you with sparkles in his eyes.â She said.
I nodded, cheekily smiling. âYes, we had gone out on a few dates over the past 4 months and I really like him.â
She chuckled. âThatâs good, sugarplum. Have fun tonight, and be safe.â She warned, pointing an accusatory finger at me as she grabbed her bag and walked out. I giggled and waved at her. âI will, goodnight Mrs. Johnson!âÂ
I looked back at the clock and not even 5 minutes went by, the hour hand remaining on the 5. I sighed and pulled out my book again, attempting to continue my reading as the remaining customers wandered and filed out. Purchasing or window shopping.Â
One by one, chapter by chapter, it soon became 6:30 and I was able to close for the night. I counted out the change and the register and placed them in the safe, putting in the code to ensure its safety. It was then I heard the bell go off in the store. I got up quickly and reached for the bat behind the door. âWeâre closed!â I shouted into the store, my hand twisting the bat nervously. I stepped out and closed the door to the office, placing the bat in both my hands. Stupid! You shouldâve just hid and called the police! I scolded myself. I walked out slowly, crouching slightly in case the intruder could see me.Â
âItâs just me.â I suddenly heard from my right side. I swung the bat towards my intruder before hearing a yelp. âAaron?â
âYeah, Iâm sorry. I know we agreed on 7:30, but I was off earlier than expected and came over immediately.â He explained as I turned on the lights, revealing him in his work attire and holding a bouquet of tulips. Pink tulips. Aaron had fallen and was now laying in between the back reading chairs. He held out the tulips for me to take. I breathed the sweet scent of them and sighed, smiling sweetly at him before holding a hand down to him. He took it and I pulled him up. He stood up quickly and so close to me, I could feel his breath on my nose. I smiled and looked up into his eyes. âHi.â I whispered.
âHi.â He whispered back. He smiled and I stole a glance at his lips. He noticed and glanced at mine. Slowly, he leaned in, closing most of the gap between us until his were brushing mine, teasing mine. I decided to minimize the distance and close the gap, kissing him fully. The kiss was soft and sweet, slow enough to stop the world. I closed my eyes, heaven taking over my senses. I let go of his hand and reached to cup his jaw and his grazed my other hand that held the roses. The kiss stole our breath away as weâd break apart for a few seconds and return to the kisses. Heaven blessed this world as we continued to kiss each other in the back reading area of the store.Â
Soon his hands caressed my waist as he gently pushed me back. I opened my eyes and pouted teasingly. âDonât you have to get dressed?â Aaron asked.
I giggled lightly. âYouâre right, I do. Give me 20 minutes. You can come up if youâd like. My place is just above the store if you wanna wash up and wait.â
He nodded and followed me upstairs. I led him into the living room, nodding my head as I told him to sit. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a clear vase for the flowers. I felt a presence behind me as he grabbed the vase with one hand. âI got this, itâs okay. Go get ready, donât worry, weâre still early.â I smiled and kissed his cheek before briskly walking towards my bedroom.Â
***
We were walking towards the restaurant doors, hand in hand, smiling at each other. Aaron had a reservation at 8 for the place. I was decked out in a white dress with white shoes, opposite of his dark suit and red tie. Aaron told the hostess his name and she then led us to our table. Aaron had let go of my hand briefly to pull out my chair. âAnd they say chivalry is dead.â I teased as I sat down, pulling my chair in slightly.Â
âWell honey, I keep the chivalry's heart pumping.â He smiled before sitting down in his seat, pulling out his menu as I pulled out mine.
We spent hours there, just talking, laughing, and smiling overall. My heart fluttered at every little thing Aaron had done. From asking the waiter for a refill for my water to asking me little questions about my shop. Whether it be the workload, the stock of books, or even the customer shenanigans, I understood that he cared. I also discussed my past life, parts I never really discussed with anyone else, how I never kept in contact with my parents because their dreams for me were different from mine, how my fiance died in a car crash, how hard it was to start up another small business bookshop, etc. We also discussed some of his old cases. They were brutal, not brutal enough for nightmares, but enough to scare me a little. He had told me about his late ex-wife, Haley, and his son Jack, who was with the babysitter tonight. He spoke highly of her, mentioning how though they divorced, she had always understood his job and odd hours. He stated how she had aggressive opinions against it, but it was understandable given the circumstances and the effects on the relationship. I reached out for his hand and grasped it softly, hoping to comfort him. He explained that his job is what got her killed, how a serial killer named George Foyet had shot and killed Haley. He also talked about Jack and how tough it was to raise him with his job and how much help Jessica, Haleyâs sister, had helped out when watching Jack when Aaron had a case. I nodded in understanding, allowing him to continue his stories throughout the night.Â
Later that night, he walked me home. He held an arm around my waist as we slowly walked the path to my home. I adorned his black trench jacket and his tie was loosened. We shared whispers of little things that had happened today, swapping little stories with each other as the wind brushed around us.Â
Once we reached the front door of the store, we stopped. I looked at him and turned to fully face him. âYou can say no, but do you wanna head up with me?â I asked hesitantly with hopeful eyes.Â
He eyed upstairs before closing his eyes, groaning quietly. âI would love to, honey. But I forgot that the babysitter doesnât do nights.â
I nodded, slightly disappointed. âItâs alright. I understand. Besides, we had that other time a few weeks ago.â
He chuckled before pulling me in close, kissing my forehead. âIâm really sorry, sweetheart. I promise, Iâll make it up to you next week. Iâll push Jack to have a sleepover or something.â He looked into my eyes, guilt glossing over the surface. âIâll think of something, I swear.â
I smiled before leaning more into him. âI know you will, Hotchner. You always do.â I kissed him. And then I kissed him again. And then I leaned in for another kiss, brushing his lips with mine. He laughed lightly at the trick and held my jaw in his hands before leaning in and kissing me slowly, closing his eyes. I closed mine as I grabbed his torso and pulled him closer to me.
We eventually let go and breathed in the fresh air. âGood night, darling.â Aaron whispered, letting go.
âGood night, Captain.â I replied, unlocking and opening the door. Once I entered, I immediately went upstairs before realizing that I still had his jacket. I placed it on the coat rack and took a picture of it, sending it to Aaron. You forget something? I texted him.Â
He replied, Keep it, save it for our next date.
I smiled before replying, Ok ;). My heart buzzed as I thought of all the possibilities of our next date. I was so excited. I think I like him a little more than I thought.Â
***
The next date never came. In fact, there were only a few texts exchanged before Aaron completely ghosted me. A 44 year old man with PTSD and a 11 year old son ghosted me. I scoff at the fact less than I cry over the fact. I thought we were going somewhere with this. I thought we were lovers at that point. I guess I was wrong. I was still managing my bookshop, as usual. From 9 am to 8 pm, customers came and went, buying books, selling books, etc. The pandemic made it hard for the store to survive. I reopened the store as soon as it was allowed, following all the regulations and rules in hopes that I could sell more books and keep the store on its feet. However, during the pandemic, my late grandmother had caught COVID and had died, leaving me an inheritance that kept the store alive and thriving. That and the coffee bar I had installed along with the 9 am to 6 pm barista, who gets paid separately and pays rent on the space.
The tulips from my last date with Aaron sit on the desk, wilted and dried out. I kept them there out of hope, no matter how many times my friends had told me to get rid of them and no matter how many dates I went on, no one could compare to Aaron. Itâs silly and stupid, that after 8 years of him disappearing, I still had hope he would come back for his jacket. But he didnât. And so the tulips were one of the good memories I had with Aaron.Â
Sighing, I looked at the clock and saw that it had not moved since noon. I checked the time on my computer and saw that time had sufficiently passed. It was 6:52 and I knew I had to get ready to close. Looking around, I saw the only person left was Mrs. Johnson in the back reading area. I smiled before getting up and tapping her shoulder lightly. âMrs. Johnson, itâs almost closing time. Would you like me to ring you up?â
âOh, yes please, sugarplum. Just the one, please.â She replied, holding out one book, Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan as I helped her up.
âGood book?â I ask, walking up to the register and ringing her up.
âOh, itâs great! Reminds me of my husband, Richard, and I,â She smiled fondly. âFalling back in love after thinking we fell out of it.â
âThatâs sweet, Mrs. Johnson. Iâll have to check it out myself.â I smiled back.
She nodded, glancing at the flowers. âDonât lose hope, dear.â
I solemnly smiled. âGood night, Mrs. Johnson.â
She nodded in reply and walked out of the store. I followed behind her and started to pull in the outside coffee tables and chairs, wiping them down as I brought them in. I locked the door, making sure the door didnât budge. I wiped down all the shelves and the register area, placing the cleaning items under the desk. I glanced up and saw the clock. Snapping my fingers, I pulled out a drawer in the register desk and grabbed a couple batteries along with a screwdriver. I grabbed a ladder and opened it out. Stepping up the ladder, I grabbed the clock off the screw in the wall. I stepped back down the ladder when I heard a knock at the door. Stopping my movements, I placed the clock down on a nearby shelf before walking out into the main area. Looking through the glass, my breath stopped. His back was turned to me, but I knew it was him. Aaron Hotchner.
He was holding white tulips and anxiously looking around. I walked closer to the door, my eyes trained on him and his stature. He turned around and our eyes met. Slowly, I walked over to the door. My hands shook as I slowly pressed the handle bar of the door. I pushed the door open and looked back up at him. His eyes stared back into mine. He looked different. More rugged features on his face. He had grown out his beard and was more fit in. He was wearing much more casual wear, no suits. He was wearing an open blue button down with a white shirt and jeans, sneaker clad. I slowly reached a hand up to his face before cupping his cheek. He leaned in a little to my hand. I gasped quietly before caressing more of his face. His eyes were glazed with tears, reflecting mine. âYouâre really here.â I confirmed, tears slowly falling from my eyes.Â
âYes. And Iâm so sorry.â He replied, sincerity in his voice.
I shook my head. âShut up.â I grabbed both sides of his face and pulled him in for a kiss. I closed my eyes as he reciprocated immediately. He wrapped his arms around my waist, careful for the flowers. This gave me the opportunity to pull him closer to me, wrapping my hands around his neck. His beard tickled my chin and tears flavored the kiss. I pulled away with my head still against his, a quiet sob wracking my throat. âYouâre really here.â I said again, more breathily than the first time. My eyes were still closed because I feared that if I opened them, he would be gone again. âIâm really here.â He confirmed, as if he had heard my thoughts. I laughed lightly before opening my eyes. He was already looking at me, quiet tears flowing down his face. I kissed him again, much softer than the first time.Â
I kicked out my foot and pushed the door more open while pulling him inside by his neck. As I pulled him inside, the kisses got more desperate as we swerved towards my cash desk. Aaron placed his hands on either side of the desk, placing the flowers down on the counter. I pulled him closer, molding our bodies as close as possible, grinding against his clothed dick. His hands gripped the desk counter, knuckles turning white at my movement. He groaned into my mouth, which sent shivers down my back. He pulled away first, both of us gasping for breath. âWait.â He said and I paused, opening my eyes and looking at his. âAre you sure you wanna do this?â
I placed my hand against his mouth. âAaron, Iâm positive. Youâre alive and I hate you for that and I want to understand why. But right now, I need you to fuck me like you promised. I need to know youâre still here and you wonât leave again.â
He shook his head, eyes running crazy. He removed my hand and placed a kiss on the back of it. âIâm not going anywhere. I promise.â
âAnd Jack?â
He chuckled, reminiscence in his eyes. âJack is almost 19 years old and in college. Iâm pretty sure weâre fine.â
âOkay, just double checking.â I confirmed. He tapped my hips. I immediately understood and jumped, him catching me. I placed a hand around his shoulder and patted his chest with the other. âWhy donât we take this to my room.â I said.
âAbsolutely.â He replied. He then walked as quickly as possible towards the office door, opening and closing it while still holding me. He walked us up the stairs and put me down once we reached the living room. I grabbed his face and pulled him towards mine, heavy breaths mingling with one another. I pulled him in for another hot kiss before my hands moved to push the button down off âIs this okay?â
âYes.â He replied, desperately, allowing the garment to fall onto the ground. He fiddled with the hem of my own shirt, teasing my skin. âIs this okay?â He asked, raising a brow.
âGod, yes.â I replied, lifting my arms. He removed the shirt and pulled me into him by my hips. His lips sought mine out and I followed the suit, kissing him deeper. I kicked off my shoes and he did his. I pulled him by his neck into my bedroom, the door pushing open with our force. I let go of his lips and gasped for air, falling back into my queen bed. I pushed myself all the way up to my pillows, curling my finger to tease him towards me, smiling cheekily. He followed me up, lips kissing up my skin from my jean clad hips. My hands sought his hair as I basked in the heat of his lips. He reached my bra and pulled it down enough to reveal my nipples. They hardened at the cold air and at his movements. He kissed each one teasingly. I watched him with bated breath. His eyes bore back into mine as he proceeded to take my right nipple in his mouth, sucking sweetly and swirling his tongue. I moaned at the contact, grabbing his hair. He continued his mantra of sensuality, taking moments between suckling and swirling his tongue. His right hand twisted and flicked my other nipple. The movements alone had me moaning at the contact and pulling him closer into me. He switched to the opposite side, making sure to give the second nipple just as much attention as the first. I let out another moan at the switch, leaning my head back and shutting my eyes. He continued this mantra as much as he did the first one until both nipples were perked and red from the attention. His trail of kisses reached my neck as he sucked bruising kisses on my neck. His lips reached mine and he pressed deep, hot kisses on my lips. He teased his tongue, prodding at my lips and I opened my mouth. His tongue and taste invaded my senses, he tasted of cinnamon vanilla as I explored more, fighting him for dominance. He won, as usual, taking over all my senses, smell, taste, touch, you name it, he owned it.Â
His fingers tapped the waistband of my jeans. He let go of my swollen lips with a gasp. âIs this okay?â
âPlease.â I whispered.
âHuh? I didnât hear that darling. You need to speak up for me, darling girl.â Aaron teased
âPlease, Aaron.â I pleaded louder, lifting my hips to meet his.Â
He chuckled. âSo impatient.â He kissed my jaw. âSo needy.â He kissed my neck, trailing his kisses back down until they reached my belt. His fingers fiddled with the buckle, opening the belt. His fingers unbuttoned my pants and he pulled the zipper down, easily pulling the pants down. I lifted my hips off the bed to give him more access to pull the jeans off. After he pulled my pants off, I reached around my back and unclasped my bra, throwing it off to the side. Aaron positioned himself right in front of my entrance, licking his lips as if he were starved. He looked up at my eyes from his position. âMay I?â He asked gently against my pussy, ever the gentleman.Â
I nodded. âYes, please, Aaron.â I pleaded.Â
He obeyed, chuckling slightly. He pulled down my panties and groaned when he saw how wet I had gotten. He looked completely enamored with my pussy, watching how it glistened and clenched, waiting for him. I felt him breathing at the entrance and felt my walls clench around nothing. I made a small noise from my throat. âPlease sir, I need you.â
Aaronâs eyes lit up and he smirked. âDonât worry, pretty girl. I got you.â His tongue reached out and licked a big stripe against my pussy. I gasped at the sudden contact but lifted my hips nonetheless. He wrapped his (big, beefy) arms around my thighs and grounded my body against my bed. He pulled my lower half towards his mouth, licking his way into my entrance. I moaned and gasped at the feeling, allowing him in. His tongue licked stripes on and inside my pussy, varying in patterns and paces. He moved one hand from my thigh and prodded one finger inside. I felt it slide in and moaned at the contact, leaning my head back and shutting my eyes. His finger pumped in and out in a slow rhythm as he licked stripes up and down my labia.Â
After a few more pumps, Aaron added another finger inside my entrance. He moved his tongue up from its position and swirled it around my clit. I gasped at the sudden change and grabbed his hair, pulling slightly. He groaned a little and it sent vibrations up my body, letting moans fall out my mouth like a river. His mouth switched from swirling to sucking my clit. His fingers pumped in and out of my pussy. One of my hands was down grabbing his hair, pulling him closer to my pussy. My other hand was under my pillow, grasping the sheets of it and twisting. He sped up his fingers, pumping them in and out of me faster. I gasped at the change and moaned. His tongue swirled my clit until his thumb replaced it, circling it slowly. His fingers sped up as well as his thumb and it made me gasp, my thighs threatening to close in. âOh shit, Aaron.â I moaned out.
âThatâs it, darling. Say my name.â He replied, continuing his movements at the same pace. âAaron, Aaron, Aaron.â I repeated, like a chorus, my moans and gasps making up the verse. His fingers were quickly working me up, closer and closer. âOh my god, Aaron. Donât stop.â I gasped out. He started leaving kisses over my thighs, stopping every few kisses to suck hickies into my thighs. âPlease, donât -fuck, donât stop!â I pleaded, moving both hands to grip his hair, pulling slightly. The overwhelming pleasure of everything, his thumb, his fingers, his kisses, it all hit me as that knot twisted tighter in my stomach. âOh fuck, Iâm about to cum!â I let out, gasping and moaning, unable to stop myself. His fingers kept the pace but went harder and harder, making me gasp even more than before. âOh fuck Aaron, Iâm about to-â I was cut off when the knot broke in my stomach and I came with a moan. Aaron reached his head down, licking up every droplet like a man starved. His fingers continued to slowly fuck me through my orgasm, drawing it out until the first load was gone. I moved both of my hands to my forehead, catching my breath.
After he had finished, he brought himself back up to my face. âBreathe, darling. Itâs okay.â He said. He kissed me softly on my cheeks and nose. I brushed my fingers through his hair and brought it to the back of his neck. I pulled him back to my lips and kissed him desperately. I moved my other hand down his chest and fiddled with the hem of his white shirt. He immediately understood, sitting up and taking it off. I moved my hands to his belt buckle and tried to get it off. He grabbed my hands and placed them above my head. âI know that youâre impatient, baby, but I gave you what you want-â
âPlease Aaron, I want more.â I reply, lifting my hips to grind towards his.Â
âFirst of all, itâs sir. Second of all, itâs going to be sir for the rest of tonight, or youâre not gonna cum. If you want anything, you ask. Are we clear?â He responded in a demanding tone.
âYes, counselor.â I tested, smile spreading, testing him. He turned his head to the side curiously, smiling curving in his features. He chuckled, âIâll allow it.â
Slowly, he let go of my wrists and sat back on his knees. I pulled my elbows up, positioning myself towards him. He unclasped his belt and pulled down his pants, leaving him in his white boxer briefs. I sat up and slowly reached for his cock, feeling out how hard he was. Aaron wrapped a hand around my wrist and pulled it away slowly. âNo, not tonight,â He laid me back down and I wriggled to get more comfortable. He grabbed the spare pillow from beside me and tapped my hips. I obeyed and raised them. âTonightâs all about you, my darling.â Aaron put the pillow under my hips and stripped himself of his boxer briefs. His dick was leaking with precum, the red tip begging for attention. I stared with my mouth agape. He was 6.5 inches and I knew I was in trouble. I had forgotten how big he was, 8 years time will do that to a person. He reached behind and pulled a condom from his pants pocket. He opened the package, pinched the tip of the rubber and rolled it down his cock. He looked at my face and caught me staring. Aaron chuckled and it caught my attention, changing my line of sight to look at his eyes. âHave you not been taken care of, baby? Iâm sorry, Iâm here now.â He said, teasing my pussy with his tip. I gasped at the contact, looking down at him holding his cock and where our bodies met. He hissed slightly. âGod, youâre so wet.â
âPlease sir.â I pleaded.
âPlease what?â
âPlease stop teasing.â I whined, slowly reaching a hand down to his dick. I reached down and gathered some slick from my pussy and rubbed it on Aaronâs dick, pumping it a couple times. He hissed again before fully grabbing his dick and slowly entered my pussy. I gasped at the stretch, not used to it like I was and closed my eyes, concentrating on relaxing. He leaned down and kissed my neck softly. âJust let me know honey. When you want me to move.â He whispered.Â
Once he fully entered me, I moaned at the contact, taking time to adjust. Eventually, I whispered a small yes and Aaron started to thrust back and forth into me. I moaned at the contact as he groaned. Slowly he thrusted in and out of my pussy, taking one of my hands on his and placing it above my head. I moaned out at his thrusts as they hit my pussy deep and hard. Aaron grunted as he thrusted, the sexy sound spilling from his lips as he kissed my neck. I took my free hand and wrapped it around his neck and down his back, softly clawing at it as he moved. âFaster.â I whispered.
âWhat was that?â He asked in a teasing tone, hitting harder, causing me to yelp in surprise.Â
âPlease sir, faster.â I gasped out. He obeyed, moving his hips faster and harder, hitting that sweet spot. A high pitched moan left my lips as I clawed his back, my legs wrapped around his waist. He suckled more hickies into my skin, moving his hips faster. âOh god, sir.â I called out, gasping at the pace of his thrusts. âYeah? How do you feel, honey?â He teased.Â
âSo. Fucking. Good.â I replied in a gaspy, whiny tone. He moved my hand to his hair and moved his lips down towards my boobs, suckling more hickies down the trail. He latched his mouth around one of my nipples. His hips moved faster, the veins of his dick rutting pleasure through my walls. His tip continued to hit my spongy sweet spot, causing me to silently scream. My hand tightened on his hair, not pushing or pulling him anywhere, just tightening which caused him to groan. My other hand dug my nails into his shoulder blade, scratching and grabbing onto anything to ground me in my heavenly state. Serieses of âoh fuckâ spilled out of my lips like a chorus. Our sweaty bodies are moving with the shaking of the bed.
I decided to open my eyes and look down at Aaron. His eyes were focused on my boobs before he looked up into my eyes, switching nipples. The multitude of sensations were overwhelming, but not enough to get me where I needed to be. That knot in my stomach was so close to breaking. I leaned my head back and squeezed my eyes shut, mouth forming an âoâ. âHarder, please sir.â I called out, scratching his head. He obeyed, snapping his hips into me, fast and hard, causing me to gasp and throw my head to the side. I continued my series of âfucksâ and moans as he continued to fuck me into oblivion. I squeezed around his cock, getting closer and closer. He got the message, reaching a hand down and swirled his thumb around my clit. âI know baby, youâre so close.â
âGod, yes.â I replied, gasping at the contact, arching my back some more.Â
âI am too, come on baby.â He groaned out. My moans staggered with his thrusts. His fingers. His mouth. His voice. His words. His dick. It all hit me as the knot tightened even more. âOh fuck, sir, Iâm about t- oh god.â I cried out, rutting my hips to match his pace.Â
âThatâs it honey, let go, I got you.â He said and I did. I let go and came at that. He grunted and came as well, the condom filling up inside me.Â
We both took deep breaths and I whined as he pulled out of me. We were both breathing heavily and Aaron got up from the bed. He walked towards the bathroom and threw away the condom. He closed the door and I heard the sound of him using the restroom. I reached a hand out, vision blurry and searching for him. I needed his touch. My fingers twitched for him, gasping his name out. He came back out with a damp towel and a cup of water. He handed me the cup of water and went down to my legs and pussy, gently wiping away the juices and cum from the sheets and my body. I sat up after he was finished and drank the water greedily as he removed the pillow from under my back. He used the remnants of the damp towel to wipe down my sweaty body. He threw the towel in the laundry basket before getting up again. I grabbed his wrist quickly and looked up at him with pleading eyes. âPlease donât leave again.â I pleaded, tears forming in my eyes. He leaned down and kissed my forehead, firmly with his hand on the back of my head. I closed my eyes at the contact and the tears fell down my face. I felt him pull his lips back and wipe the tears from my face. I opened my eyes and looked at him. âIâm not going anywhere. Iâm staying right here with you.â He confirmed.Â
Aaron walked around the bed to the other side and got under the covers, motioning me to join him. I got under the covers and wrapped my arms around his torso, leaning my head on his chest. He placed his chin on the top of my head as I drifted off to sleep.
***
I woke up to my alarm and an empty bed. Blearily, I got up and grabbed a shirt off the floor and pulled on the panties, too. Aaron! I thought to myself, waking me up quickly. Putting on my slippers quickly, I headed out into the common area. Hope had faded as I didnât see him. Panicking, I quickly thought if it was a dream and reached for the counter. Tears pricked my eyes as the lonely presence loomed over me. That was until I heard a muffled clank and a quiet âshit!â from downstairs. I gasped before turning towards the stairs.
I headed down them and opened the door to find Aaron on the ladder, positioning the clock on the nail in the wall. As if he sensed my presence, he turned towards me and smiled. âGood morning, I got us breakfast and coffee. Made it the way you like it.â He said, climbing down the ladder. I saw the food and drinks at the register desk as well as the white tulips in a vase with water, right next to the dried tulips. I walked towards the desk and Aaron appeared behind me. He kissed my cheek. He licked his lips before concern crossed his features, turning me to face him. âAre you okay?â He asked.Â
I smiled and nodded. âI am now.â
He smiled back and hugged me tightly, swaying slightly as we drank in each other's presence.

asking anakin to pin you to the wall or choke you using the force đ„”
mei i would BEG him on my hands and knees
so this covers inappropriate uses of the force that go far beyond choking because i have far too many thoughts on the concept and couldn't stop myself there, oops!
obvious cw for choking/restraint, don't read if it will bother you.
this post is 18+, minors dni.
well we definitely know he doesn't have an aversion to force-choking !! he's very tactile, and he most likely already has asked, or you've asked him, to choke you during sex. he loves it. he loves feeling the rush of your blood under his hand, he loves feeling your life sitting completely bare beneath his fingers like that, his hand against your skin. with his flesh hand, which soaks up the heat of your neck as he slowly wraps his fingers around you, squeezing until he can feel your heart thumping wildly through your pulse and smothering his skin into your warmth. with his prosthetic hand, which is chilly and unrelenting without its leather glove, and darkly sexy with it. It doesn't matter which hand he uses, he gets remarkably turned on by the way that you lean into it, the way that you bare your neck- your life for him to use like a plaything.
you'd watched him crumple a can of booze with the Force the other day; something cheap he'd wasted his credits on for the thrill of it. his gloved hand had formed the shape of the can, then squeezed inward gracefully, and the metal had crumpled formlessly into a mangled wreck that Anakin had slipped through a rather narrow trash compactor opening. He'd only done it to avoid getting caught with the liquor, but your throat stings when you think about the way that his black glove had tightened slowly, deliberately, mercilessly around nothingness as the can crumpled.
you have to ask him.
you had meant to have a discussion with him about it, a structured, clear conversation about whether he was comfortable with it, not only the act but the blatant disrespect of the code by a rather improper use of the Force. but he'd gotten handsy after returning from a day of sparring, and when his hand reaches for your throat, hips pumping steadily against your own and driving his cock into you forcefully with each thrust, you reach up to stop it.
You clutch at his hand and pull it away from your neck, eyes pleading as he stares worriedly down at you. He lets you deter him from your neck, thrusts petering out into a slow rhythm when you whine after he stops them altogether.
"What's wrong?" He asks bluntly, because anakin has never beaten around the bush, "Why can't I choke you?"
"I want you to," You clear your suddenly dry throat, ready to explain but yanking his hand back down when he tries resuming his original endeavor, "Wait- Anakin, I want you to use the Force!"
that stops him. your core aches and begs for him to resume his steady thrusting, but he's sheathed himself completely in your cunt, so you're stuffed to the brim while he contemplates your words. You feel bad for putting him on the spot, but his eyes darken a shade as some of the light leaves them, and his brow twitches.
"What?"
"I want you to choke me with the Force," You repeat, craning your neck down to kiss at the black leather pads of his gloved fingers, "Please, Anakin, I- I just want- just like you do normally, but with the Force. I know it's- improper, and- and disrespectful to the Force, but-"
All of a sudden, your lungs freeze in their pursuit of oxygen, and words fail you. Your chest is still, no air entering or escaping, and Anakin's fingers twitch slightly where he loosens his disembodied grip on your windpipe just enough for you to take in a proper breath.
"I am the Force," He speaks through gritted teeth, and his words flood your core with heat just as much as the relentless grip on your throat does, "Holding back would be disrespectful." He leans over you, his hand maintaining both pressure and distance as he fits his body around it. He remains fully immersed in your cunt, his dick stuffed inside of you as you clench around him desperately, and his breath is hot on your face as he towers above you.
"Not telling me what you want, would be disrespectful." He lectures, eyes only growing darker as you feel your lungs burning in your chest. You gasp for air, only able to drag in a miniscule amount as he continues closing his fingers around your windpipe, "I never feel closer to the Force than when I am inside of you. I am the Force, we are the Force, and hiding anything that would strengthen that force would be disrespectful."
You take in another rattling breath, but his fingers cut you off completely, sending a bolt of overwhelming pleasure to your core as the leather of his glove creaks slightly with the twitch of his fingers.
"Understand?" He asks, and you nod vigorously.
"Speak." He commands, loosening his grip so that you can gush, 'Yes! Yes, Anakin, I understand!"
"Good." He seals off your airway once more, that delicious burning feeling transferring straight from your chest to your cunt, your thighs trembling slightly as you feel his cock twitch inside of you.
the two of you share intense orgasms that night, both now enamored by this concept. it's a complete power trip for anakin, the fact that he doesn't even have to touch you to have your life in his hands? his hand doesn't need to contact your skin for it to get you hot and bothered, he can turn you on from a mile away.
this might be a problem for you, though. because anakin is nothing if not creative and inventive, which means that you feel invisible fingers gently nudging themselves against your cunt one day. you're at home, anakin's reading through a report while you're curled up watching something, but you startle at the touch nonetheless, eyes peeled for whatever had touched you.
you notice anakin's hand poised with two fingers outstretched, that dark glint in his eyes once more as he leans back in his chair. he nudges his fingers forwards again, and you feel that prodding at your core, an embarrassingly intense gush of raw lust aching below your stomach.
"Anakin..." You warn, but you're not sure if the apprehension is leveled at him, or yourself. warning him to be careful, warning yourself to maintain composure, neither work.
He strokes his fingers slightly back and forth, rubbing down the length of your slit, then ending at your clit. it's such a familiar sensation but unnervingly new at the same time, and you can't withhold your gasp as he pushes ever so slightly to breach the tension of your lips. with a twitch of his finger he rubs against your clit and though you're woefully underlubricated, all he has to do is continue running those tantalizingly invisible fingers over your core and soon enough you're clenching around emptiness that's quickly filled with his nonexistent fingers.
it's a strange sensation, but anakin's eyes are glued predatorily to the way that your cunt widens and narrows with every pump of his fingers, and his hand twitches in mid-air as he brings you towards your climax. he's mesmerized, he's never been able to see such an unobstructed view of your convulsing cunt before, and you'll be lucky to escape from his relentless fingers before you're nearly passed out in exhaustion from cumming so many times in a row. he studies you, gets down on his knees in front of the couch to peer transfixed into your cunt as he finger-fucks you with a hand that isn't there. he's now addicted to force-fucking you, so expect it to happen at rather inopportune times.
another favorite tactic of his is to force your mouth open with just a wave of his hand. he loves to see you choking yourself on his cock but you've both discovered there's something deeply sexy about being restrained, and instead of just kneeling above your face and throat-fucking you, he decides to take your mouth with the Force. he holds it ajar, the perfect circumference for his cock, and fucks your mouth, using that invisible appendage to keep your lips parted as you gag and sob on him. your hands fly up to grab at his hips but you're not trying to push him off, no, you're yanking him forwards, dragging him down, begging him to stuff his leaking, twitching cock even further down your throat. even when he cums down your throat and releases his hold on your mouth you leave it hanging open, panting with the effort of simply breathing, and trying to wrap your head around just how fucking hot what he just did was.
if/when you ask him to pin you to the wall, he's so fucking cocky about it. these insufferable smirks as he pushes you up against it, pinning your limbs in place and leaning in to talk with his nose brushed against yours.
'Yeah? You want me to hold you down, baby? You want me to take whatever I want from you, don't you?'
you nod, the only part of your body still at your free will being your head, and it bumps against the wall in your vigor but you don't care. all you care about is letting him take control of you, is being splayed out on the wall like a trophy for him, and letting him do whatever he pleases.
'Good,' he leans in to kiss you, hot and wet and careless and sloppy, 'Good, angel. Maker, I'm obsessed with you. You're so good, so pretty-" as he trails his hand across your still torso, his thumb dipping between your legs to nudge fondly over your clit, 'you're mine.'

Exactly, Anon. Exactly. This is why the Ivy League Universities being turned into Hamasnik terrorist bases is so horrifying. Especially with Jew-hating students attacking Jewish students and professors on campus, with the Universities' sanction. The Universities could shut these Jew-hate riots down. The fact that they don't shows that they want them to continue. They're trying to chase away the Jewish students and professors from these schools. That's always the first step. That's what the Nazis did first, too.
This article is taken from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum website. I highly recommend that everyone read the whole article. But even if you read the first paragraph, you'll see the parallels to what is happening on Ivy League campuses today:
.
After Adolf Hitler was appointed German Chancellor in January 1933, the new Nazi government began an effort to completely reorder public and private life in Germany.Â
The Nazi regime quickly targeted German universitiesâamong the most elite in the world at the timeâfor restructuring according to Nazi principles. While the Nazi Ministry of Education initiated reforms, local Nazi organizations and student activists worked to bring Nazi ideals to German campuses. These forces, along with increasing antisemitism under Nazi rule, transformed everyday life at German universities. Throughout this period, students, faculty, and staff made individual decisions that both upheld and opposed Nazi ideology.
With the passage of the "Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service" in 1933, most Jewish professors in Germany were dismissed from their positions. Others, such as Professor Eugen Mittwoch, were able to keep their posts temporarily only due to the political value of their research. After purging Jewish and "politically undesirable" faculty, the regime then targeted the student body with the "Law Against Overcrowding in Schools and Universities." As German authorities continued to "Aryanize" German universities, Jews increasingly lost the opportunity to teach or study. Many non-Jewish Germans sought to benefit from their persecution.Â
The daily business of university life continued in the wake of these new policies, but political concerns increasingly influenced the way professors and students worked and studied. The practice of denunciation, as demonstrated by the "Request for the Investigation of Professor Hans Peters," illustrates the danger posed to both students and faculty if they failed to follow new ideological norms. Those willing to voice support for the new regimeâwhether out of enthusiasm or practicalityâoften received promotions or other rewards. Meanwhile, many others quietly accepted the new policies and passively benefited from the persecution of their Jewish peers. Very few, such as the small student group in Munich known as the White Rose, took any significant action to resist the Nazi dictatorship.
The Nazi government and its supporters manipulated several aspects of the country's traditional university system to turn German higher education into a crucial source of support for the new regime. For example, the German student population had been largely male long before the Nazi rise to power, and German campuses were dominated by fraternities. Those organizations maintained traditional military discipline and dress codes, and their alumni groups exercised significant political power both before and after 1933. Fraternitiesâoften working with the Student Council and Nazi Student Leagueâserved as a powerful and violent force for implementing Nazi principles at universities, often going beyond the party platform in their radicalism. A Report on the Camaraderie House for Female Students of Göttingen shows how Nazi student groups used the format of traditional student organizations to train both men and women to become the next generation of Nazi leaders.
Although the regime could rely on many committed student activists, the Third Reich also sought the support of German professors to lend legitimacy to their policies. Because German universities were state institutions, professors' academic careers became vulnerable to the whims and wishes of the Nazi state. While only a small minority of professors had been Nazi Party members before 1933, several prominent professors quickly voiced their support for the Third Reich. In the new German university, political loyalty was valued over academic ability in the assessment of students and in the selection and promotion of professors. Authorities infused university classrooms with Nazi ideologyâas shown in the document, "Foundation of the Advanced School of the German Reich". But prioritizing politics over academics affected the quality of German higher education.Â
Nevertheless, professorsâeven enthusiastic supporters of the new regimeâoften spoke out against some aspects of Nazi policy. The case of Eduard Kohlrausch shows how his opposition to student-led book burnings caused his removal from the university administration. Dissent against individual policies, however, did not give rise to any concerted resistance movements. German universities as a whole formed a solid base of support for the Nazi regime, contributing valuable knowledge to the development of technology for the war effort as well as logistical support for the Holocaust.
The Nazification of universities overwhelmed the daily lives of students with new requirements, including mandatory lectures, physical exercises, labor duties, and political assemblies. Many students resented those requirements, even if they supported the Nazi Party. In Heidelberg, for example, where the daily life of students was dominated by political instruction and mandatory physical training, large numbers of students withdrew from the university in search of other educational opportunities. As illustrated in the "Memo Regarding Maria-Elisabeth Koch," students also showed varying degrees of enthusiasm for the labor service that was often required of them in territories occupied by Nazi Germany.
The Nazi government's project of remaking German universities was broadly successful, but it produced unintended consequences. The quality of education suffered significantly as classes were regularly cancelled for political assemblies and students' schedules became filled with ideological and paramilitary training. Moreover, purging Jewish faculty deprived German universities of valuable expertise. Within a few years, many observers in Germany and abroad became deeply skeptical about the quality of German higher education in the Third Reich. Propaganda efforts such as the Carl Schurz tour for American professors and studentsâdocumented with a slickly produced videoâdid not prevent protest. The 550th-anniversary celebration of Heidelberg University met with opposition in Europe, even while prominent American universities such as Harvard accepted invitations.
With the defeat of the Third Reich in 1945, Allied forces occupying Germany began a long-term effort to remove the influence of Nazi ideology in German society. Many German academics who made significant contributions to the Nazi war effort fled to the United States, where they lived comfortable lives and their expertise was highly valued by American universities and the US military. In postwar Germany, many faculty and students who had benefited from the Nazis' discriminatory policies without being especially vocal or enthusiastic supporters of the regime sought to cast their dissent or their silence as forms of political resistance to obscure their own complicity. Although many Germans denied having supported the Nazi regime, antisemitism persisted in postwar Germany. The case of Hermann Budzislawski shows the difficulties encountered by the relatively few German Jews who decided to return to Germany after World War II.
Sources in this collection document the choices facing students and faculty pursuing their everyday lives in the shadow of Nazism and the Holocaust. Over the course of this period, as antisemitic discrimination escalated to mass murder, the higher education system proved to be a source of supportârather than oppositionâto the party's project of remaking German society.

That language SAGAU but the Reader can only communicate writing on paper.
Either the Reader is mute and they (characters) don't know/understand sign language or they somehow lost their voices on their transmigration to Teyvat and can only write now. But the characters are left trying to decipher what the Reader wrote.
Examples:
Kaeya: "I may say, that was very unexpected your grace. One such as yourself should be more aware of who you are."
Reader: "wat, y u sayin dat?"
Ă
Gorou: "Oh, your grace! Careful now. I am most certain that you stepped on something unsightly right now. Let me clean your feet, your grace."

This kinda falls into that post I made abt texting lingo, abt us being nigh incomprehensible when using texting lang. (its basically a code lol)
but i think itâs always neat to see nonverbal rep so here we are (also i think imma go ahead and say it is both selectively mute but also enforced by video game laws!)
u know a good explanation would be for this is actually abt how we technically are only allowed to freely communicate when weâre in chats,
so I could see that still being the only way we can commnicate in Teyvat (look am i little excited abt taking âvideo game worldâ a little too literally in every genshin AU ever- maybe.)
tbh i could see so many allogenes having to either learn to make room for you in convos and u also having to get wayyy more expressive in body language/facial expressions
tbh i think itd be pretty easy to get ur meaning, like in a battle or smth fast-paced where u couldnt write, like how Tinker Bell can?
if u dont know what i mean just search âtinkerbell scenes peter panâ on youtube and u can see ppl just having a full conversation with no words with her, which i think would deffo happen with ppl like Kaeya, Lisa, Lumine, Venti, Heizou, Ayato, Yae Miko, Thoma, Beidou and Itto surprisingly i could see it (ppl in the distance just think theyre all talking to themselves sometimes when ur not as visible hehe)
OMG they get u nice gifts for writing all the time, like the newest compact pens from Fontaine, the finest small, medium, and large notebooks from Inazuma,
like a little compact pocketbook so u can easily fit it in pockets!
u know Im absolutely sure you could literally start the texting appreviation trend in Tevyat like this-
like just so itâs easier to communicate with you, a lot of people are willing to adapt/take on abbreviations like âttyl, gtg, wth, lol, lmaoâ even stuff like âetcâ
lol u start a whole trend in the writing letters business, hehe silly medieval Teyvat is silly and medieval
yknow I think the quieter vision users would definitely find you to be peaceful to be around and easy to understand just with writing (also deffo most likely to adore the soft moments together of just ur pen scribbling and the sounds of nature or a cafe or something around them),
tbh i also think these ppl would be motivated to talk to you alone, or get you away to just talk the two of you for all the reasons above, like Xiao, Aether, Kazuha, Ayaka, Chongyun, Zhongli, Diluc, Sayu, Ei, Sucrose, Eula, Ganyu, Ningguang, Tighnari, Alhaitham omg he might literally be able to take his headphones off around u bc youd be in such quiet spaces all the time, and bc u dont talk he doesnât have to worry abt u getting loud either lmao
âŠand then ofc, thereâs the bitches that try and guess what ur writing ahead of timeeee đ
bein all like, âUh⊠you.. would like.. to go to⊠a restaurant⊠to get some- OH OH I got this one this time! Some pita pockets! âŠOh. A drink. Right. Sorry, again.â
definitely Itto, Cyno, Heizou, Xingqiu, Fischl, Amber, Collei, Dehya, Wanderer, Childe, Venti, Keqing (she just used to being fast ok), Kaveh lmao

i was thinking of the marauders (unexpected i know) & thought "wow peter is sooo boy scout coded" & then realised THEY ALL ARE like hear me out on this
peter: the "noooo i dont wanna wake uuup i dont care if its raininnnng lemme sleeeep", incredibly good with maps ("oh i know this place like the palm of my hand" tho they are in the middle of nowhere), "guys i brought macadamia nuts for snacks :)" (he's the only one who likes them), entered the group later than the others but is very committed
remus: cares a lot about the environment ("EH DO YOU KNOW WHAT A BLOODY TRASH BIN IS?"), "are you gonna eat that? thanks mate", obsessed with wood carving & knives for some reason, always injured but always keeps going ("i am as capable as anyone" but he's trying to hike a mountain with a sprained ankle), starts talking about botanics as if it were band names ("ooooh i fucking love camomile!"), grumpy because "i still don't get why they won't let me have my fucking morning coffee" but also the kind to stop & take breath while very philosophically saying "guys look at the view", crazy about morse code & trail markings
sirius: acts like he doesn't care but shows up early to every reunion, "can i organise this? i love telling children what to do" (kids absolutely love him), sneaks in his phone & cigarettes to camp because if he doesn't smoke he can't sleep (remus smokes with him), is incredibly good at tying knots, has creative ideas and writes the most deep & heartbreaking things but never shares with the rest of the group, his scarf/necker is full of pins & likes to make bracelets with threads or grass, cares a lot about social issues and i mean A LOT
james: has a heart of gold, helps people on the street out of spite ("we're still scouts even when we're not at camp"), "okay guys we HAVE to win this, we are going to be THE BEST TEAM to play capture the flag EVER" (he's mad about capture the flag i am very serious about this), takes a picture with every animal he sees, "wdym it's cold? it's 50°, that's like, a lot", also loves walking & hiking, & always offers to help cooking or organising activities, always the first to start singing while they're walking & then everyone else joins in
#now i want to write a muggle au like this jxbcjdjkw#but like IT FITS THEM SO WELL#i could be projecting but i honestly dont think so#marauders era#the marauders#moony wormtail padfoot and prongs#remus lupin#peter pettigrew#sirius black#james potter#wolfstar#(cause i mean yeah they'd be âthatâ coulpe)#im so gonna write this#anyway#scout#boy scouts#losver fangirls#losver is a huge nerd#losver infodumps u without ur consent
