sleepy , hungry baby

papa!lou for a fic swap with @lottiesboy!! i had a lot of fun writing this!! boyre!reader.

“hey, baba’s done, little man. It’s time to go beddy bye.” you’re cradled in lou’s lap, fingers weakly curled around the bottle. despite lou’s words, you suckle at it again—tears welling when nothing comes. your teeth now nip into the soft plastic, trying to coax something out.

“no, hon. there’s no more baba. it’s time for your nap.” but you don’t want a nap. you want baba and then to play with papa. the thought of laying down without papa makes you want to cry.

when lou pulls the bottle from your mouth, expression worried at the way you were gnawing, your cries escape. loud little hiccups sound, your hands grasping at his shirt. your legs kick, but you can’t do much since you’re still in his lap. heavy, salty tears stream down your cheeks.

lou’s quick to coo and wipe them away, murmuring softly as you cry. “it’s okay, baby. one more baba, and then nap time. papa’ll nap with you.”

lou can see when you process the promises, your cries slowing into sad little sniffles. he nods, seeking your agreement. when you nod back, he hoists you on his hip, bouncing you as he prepares your second bottle.

“little man’s hungry, hm? two babas.” he pokes your stomach to make you giggle, the sound still wet from your tantrum. the bottle is warm in your hands, lou gently guiding the bottom to help you drink.

as the bottle empties, your eyes start to droop. it settles warm in your tummy, and drinking while being rocked on papa’s hip is the perfect way to send you right to dreamland.

lou seems to realize that, gently taking the bottle and setting it aside. remembering his promise, he takes you to bed and wiggles into your small race car bed, long limbs scrunched comically. however crunched, it’s the perfect position for him to hold you.

“sweet dreams, baby.” is the last thing you hear before you’re out like a light.

just a few javieran horse headcanons because i like them a normal amount

branwen

- tall AND fat. kieran makes sure he’s always fed (maybe even accidentally a teensy bit overfed. just because kieran can’t help but indulge him when he butts him with his head or nuzzles at his pockets when he knows there’s treats in there. but never too much because ‘obesity is a problem, even in animals !’). probably about 17hh, taller than average for a kentucky saddler but nothing too big. especially since kieran himself is quite tall

- VERY well-tempered, both naturally, as well as because kieran has literally made him bulletproof. bagged him, blanketed him, stood, jumped, backflipped onto and off of him. this kindly gentleman of a horse only spooks when he wants to be bratty specifically.

- i think he’s about 6 or so, came from the stables kieran worked at after being orphaned, he was just a colt when kieran was just a kid. kieran learned how to birth foals quickly, and branwen happened to be one of them. with the way that they fell in love with each other and the way that branwen whinnied and pranced up to the fence when kieran came back to buy him after the army didn’t work out, you’d think that horse was born just for him.

- his favourite treats, in order, are rutabaga (kieran’s secret for branwen’s glossy coat. also why he’s kinda fat.), boiled potatoes mixed into his oats, apples, and fresh greens. he’s simultaneously incredibly easy to please because of the simplicity of the latter parts of his favourites list and also very needy and complicated because kieran so loves to make his pony happy with his absolute favourite treats, so he tries his very best to get branwen’s eccentric tastes pleased once falling into the VDL’s.

- i always say “a horse’s favourite thing to do is hurt itself”, and i think this statement holds relatively true for branwen as well, though there’s a 25% chance that he’s actually hurt, a 50% chance that he’s only mildly injured or spooked and he’s playing it up to get kieran to dote on him, and a 25% chance that he will protect kieran with his life when they’re in a dire situation (see: snake on the ground or gunfire nearby. or even god forbid a spare tumbleweed find it’s way rolling nearby.) despite kieran’s last wish being his horse getting injured. branwen thinks that he’s gotta be The Man and protect his dad sometimes. it does not help in any situation ever whatsoever.

- branwen is the PERFECT companion for a trail riding date. he’s settled, calm, has a great gait, and as a gelding, truly is not worried about other horses being “faster” than him, so he never gets rowdy nor has any problems when partner riders/horses crowd him. kieran is allowed to ask for as many kisses as he pleases because branwen will never jump when javier’s gold-tipped boots poke him in the side and boaz irritatedly flicks his flank with his tail. truly a goated wingman. also never complains about long rides, and enjoys being out of camp with his rider for as much as physically possible for both of them, so he’s never barnsour in either direction.

boaz

- as an american paint, he’s naturally short and stocky. saddle ends up being a bit loose, though, as javier isn’t as dedicated to keeping him perfectly fed or groomed. he loves him, sure, but horses are somewhat of tools to him, so he kinda does slightly more than bare minimum to keep him kempt and healthy. around 14.5hh, slightly shorter than average and quite dense with muscle

- temperamentally a bit volatile. this horse has just as much drama as his rider, if not a little more. doesn’t like something ? ridden too long ? that stick looks too much like a snake ? hasn’t spent enough time with kieran that day ? he will snort and grunt and bunny hop if javi isn’t on him, and shudder hard enough the saddle shakes underneath him if he is. boaz likes to please his rider, but he also demands pleasure himself, and has no issue with “accidentally” placing a hoof on his owners nice, intentionally clean boots, and subsequently slowly leaning more and more of his weight onto it when he doesn’t immediately get what he wants. bratty pony. generally, he keeps javier safe, though, when it comes down to it.

- around 5 years old. after dutch found javier trying to steal chickens the first time they met, he soon took him back to that ranch and their first take as gang leader and member was a 1 year old grey paint colt for javi to train and subsequently ride. until he was rideable, javier rode a morgan that was formerly hosea’s, named carolina, while he lead boaz everywhere behind him.

- favourite treats, in order, are corn cobs (especially dried), prickly pear fruit AND cactus, sugar cubes, and sliced apples. will force javier to share his maiz with him. javier has always sliced his apples up since he was a colt, not only because javi simply finds comfort in toying with his knife, but also because boaz will not eat them otherwise. javi will also cut all of the spines off of the cactus before letting boaz eat them.

- in terms of injury, boaz is the most dramatic tank on the planet. this horse could arthur morgan-style run face first into a tree and then fall off a cliff and walk it off. but not before he gimps and limps and whines and teeth grinds his way into javier leading him instead of riding him for the next mile or two. once kieran started taking care of him, there is also a 25% chance of boaz faking a terribly painful injury just to get kieran to dote on him.

- kinda the worst wingman ever LMFAO easily annoyed, easily aroused, easily offended, and as a stallion, HAS to walk in front of the “herd” (his rider’s boyfriend and his horse). pins his ears back, smashes into personal space, flicks branwen with his tail (and preferably kieran, if he can reach him) even sometimes will nip at branwen if the latter tries to calmly make this date a date and not a life or death race (whoever loses, their dad is gay) and walk side-by-side to aid their riders’ hand holdings. will make executive decisions via stopping or veering off for fresh green grass beside the trail, will at points actively attempt to shudder javier out of his saddle (has succeeded once when javi was distracted by a story being excitedly told by kieran), and will also spook and take off running so fast javier thinks it must have broken his neck from the velocity. generally makes trail rides a living hell, but kieran finds it charming, and it makes for some cute shoujo-style “omg … *reaches out to help you up after your horse bucks you off because he saw a log that looked nothing at all and everything like a cougar and pink and white soft bubbles surround me* are you okay ? here, let me help.” moments. maybe some day boaz will be allowed off of the national american terrorist list written by javier “rizzless rider” escuella

ok im tired and that’s all i can think of please enjoy and feel free to contribute 👍 i love them so bad im gona cry

My sweet husband, @nonbinary-octopus helped me do some technical work and cleaning up my podfic spreadsheet. They’re genius with spreadsheets.

Check out my current to-podfic list!

I actually don’t know what determines the order of these 🤔 I’ll be recording them in a different order than this.

I recommend reading any of these Very Much!

I also have a list of authors who have given me blanket permission, and I intend to go through their archives and mine for favorites once my todo list is a bit shorter.

muahaha so at the end after thistle gets attacked by the winged lion. his desires got eaten right? including his desire to resist any bad thing that someone else wants to do to him. Idk you could probably write something really cruel and sexy about that.

ALSO im so glad we share a source now <3 i was actually thinking itd be so cute if our s/is interacted!! if that’s possible. i dont know what kiera’s situation is (like who is she what is she doing down here how did she meet thistle) but cath is just a normal adventurer hanging out in the dungeon sometimes?

- @minkymeatshop

Ah, the Winged Lion incident... I’ve been thinking about that for quite some time, actually.

But I have to disappoint you – I don’t think I would take advantage of Thistle’s loss of desires. To say that Kiera wasn't happy about Thistle's current condition would be a major understatement.

That is to say, there’s still plenty of suffering potential for this pair post-canon.

But first, I think I should talk a bit about Kiera separately. Good news: if your s/i is an adventurer, then they can surely meet.

To make it brief, Kiera is a 302 year old half-elf mercenary who decided to fight depression by getting addicted to adrenaline. She stands out thanks to her strategic talents, use of magic, and most likely illegally acquired regeneration abilities.

Kiera descended into the dungeon when it first opened, hired by the local authorities to explore it and to hunt down the Lunatic Magician, but it’s been years since anyone last saw her on the surface.

Technically, she also used to have a party – there was an entire team of distinguished warriors and scientists hired alongside her, but her companions long since abandoned her. Kiera doesn't mind it – despite how boisterous and eccentric she is, she has always been a loner.

Anyways, she’s a bit intense, but friendly. She wouldn’t mind hanging out, but probably not for long – she’s doesn’t like taking companions as they just slow her down. From the information you have given, I think Kiera would like Cath, mostly because she would find her interesting. However, she might try to provoke her to a battle... I think it would be fun to imagine how they would interact, but I really need to know more about your s/i first.

Now, when it comes to Kiera's relationship with Thistle, I must say that she never hated him. Her reasons to antagonize him and try to kill him are a bit more complicated. Also there were multiple stages to their relationship, their attitude and approach towards each other changing with time.

No matter how much she didn't want this to happen, by the time of the manga timeline, Thistle is Kiera's only friend, her favourite enemy, and the person she loves the most.

So to answer the question of "why did she try to kill him?" Well, at first she was just doing her job. But in later years she was only half serious. On one hand, she used "I'm trying to kill you" as an excuse to just start a fight because that's her way of entertainment. On the other hand, she was seriously trying to force herself to kill him to sever this unfortunate attachment, to protect her freedom and her peace of mind.

Everything else she did – hurting him, pushing his buttons, or just teasing him – was done because she finds Thistle's personality fascinating and she wanted to study his reactions. And he's oh so reactive. Fun thing about Thistle is how honest he is – he's bad at hiding his emotions, and he doesn't hold back when expressing his opinion.

So when Winged Lion ate all his desires... There's no point in doing that anymore. She sees no point in hurting him when he won't fight back or avenge himself, or even react at all. And honestly, she's scared of doing something wrong that could only worsen his condition. Because she wants her tiny menace to society back, and she will do everything in her power to bring him out of this state.

I can say that there’s still a lot of possibilities for suffering, since from now on things will be… difficult (well, things were already difficult before, but in a different way). Now, to name a few...

First of all, Kiera was also traumatized by Thistle being eaten. Thistle she fell in love with is expressive, powerful and driven. He's got a strong personality and a bitchy attitude. So seeing him so apathetic and passive was disturbing.

Imagine seeing your only friend being reduced to an empty shell. He's breathing, his eyes are open, he's probably even conscious, but he's completely unmoving and unresponsive. I think that when Kiera first saw him in such state she was close to a hysteric, trying desperately to wake him up. Made even scarier by the fact that no one at that moment knew what exactly Winged Lion did to him.

To think about it, if Kiera got really desperate, she could try doing something drastic to try and force some kind of reaction out of Thistle, hoping that maybe some violence might shake him out of his catatonia. But it is likely that she would just make things worse for them both.

Also! Since being devoured by the demon strongly parallels sexual assault and includes violation of the body, Kiera would have to be very careful with any future intimacy because it is possible that the wrong action might trigger him. Made even worse by the fact that Thistle lost his desire to resist so she will have to be super vigilant to read his reactions and know when to stop... And now I want to write a fanfic when something does go terribly wrong like that. Make it a smut that just turns into psychology halfway through.

But that kind of scenario will most likely happen at least 20 years into the future, when he's conscious and functional enough to gain an interest in sexual intimacy.

(Similar to what I said earlier, I'm not into dub-con or non-con, because I'm not interested in sexual activities if my partner doesn't show equal enthusiasm.)

There's also some misery reserved specially for Thistle: post-canon Kiera stayed in Melini, refusing to leave his side, yet she obviously misses the battlefield and is bored staying in one place. I imagine that realizing that now he finally has a person who loves him and will not leave him, but at the same time being stuck here because of him makes her miserable... Yeah, there's definitely quite a lot of guilt and maybe even self-hate here. Especially considering how Thistle always seemed to hold the happiness of his loved ones as the highest priority (even thought with time he stopped understanding what makes them happy)...

Anyways, here's a cute picture of Kiera made in picrew because I'm too depressed to draw:

I bring forth more WIP because I'm aparently incapable of finishing shit Bonus alternate version:

[strawberryblondebutch]

Btw I am once again asking — Jess Campbell do you fw failed hardcore guitarists

[mintmentos]

I’ve finished knitting my jumper!!! All that’s left to do is seam it I’m so excited!!!

[antiquepearlss]

i have a very basic question but im very curious what others think js bcuz like idk...(btw this ask is so long and rambley I APOLOGIZE...)

what do u think the characters from tts wear to sleep, like sleep wear, like who wears the lace and satin night gowns, who wears a stained t-shirt and a disgusting pair of pants, who wears their birthday suit, who doesnt even wear pjs who js lays in bed and just sleeps in their day wear

its a question thats been itching my brain bcuz i think raps would wear night gowns(she does in the show) but like you never see anyone elses sleep wear so😭

this is so stupid i apologize but my gf has had just about enough of my rambles about this...(she hasnt but we always end up joking about eugene in lingerie so please...)

okay im running away bye bye now(also im sorry if youve already like talked abt this and i never saw it or did and forgot so!!😇)

Don’t apologize I love rambles. I’m a yapper so I thrive on being with other yappers. Also I thrive on these types of mundane/domestic headcanons so-

Rapunzel wears pretty nightgowns and sleep sets. Nothing ostentatious or expensive but nice classy pajamas that are very comfortable and make her feel cute. She probably indulges in silk and pure cotton because comfort and being cozy is the most importantly thing to her. They’re all paint stained.

Eugene wears expensive silks and satin. High-End luxurious nightwear. You know Cary Grant’s robe from Bringing Up Baby? Yeah he has that.

Lance, Varian, and Kiera all just wear whatever. As long as it’s comfy. Catalina probably has cute nightgowns, probably hand-me-downs from Raps. I headcanon Kiera and Catalina both wear Lance’s old shirts as nightgowns and same with Varian and Quirin’s old shirts. Varian totally falls asleep in his own clothes all the time. He only ever wore Quirin’s old clothes as pajamas, so when he moved to the castle and slept in his white button up and slacks-Rapunzel took pity on him and gave him her blue nightgown. He rocks it.

I adore Eugene in lingerie it’s actually a tad bit unhealthy put that man in a silk nightie and garters.

[daughterofsarenrae]

Ohhhhh my god

[dollarstoreartsupplies]

I’ve never drawn hermie before and I don’t think it went well but I needed to spread my message to the people that Hermie was actually not in that episode because he was too Kiera Knightly soccer girl hot and was overcome with the need to put on his own one hermie production of the soccer girl classic play The Wolves and is mostly just upset that normal didn’t come watch

but u know alas poor Herm....

[kieraelieson]

I haven’t mentioned on Tumblr in a hot second that I’m still podficcing @tulipscomeinallsortsofcolors ‘s series Laoft! (The main storyline at least)

I’ve made it to posting the 12th chapter, which is just past the halfway point!
