Word Count: 1.1k words

Disclaimer/s: idk i was just geeked writing this. Hi Paige.

Vera’s Voice! IIIIII OKAAYYYY. IM GAY IM GAY IM GAY hello! im stressed. love u. Go Huskies. RAAAAHHGG , enjoy!!!! i was also just. Ysah. Alr just vote.

The bar was suffocating—too many bodies pressed together, the bass from the speakers rattling the floor, the air thick with alcohol and sweat. You had only come because your friends had begged you, promising a fun night out.

Yet now, as you stood alone and abandoned near the counter, nursing your half-melted cocktail, you wished you had just stayed home.

Especially because of him.

You felt the guy before you even saw him, the way his presence loomed too close, his cologne too strong.

"Hey," He drawled, sliding up beside you. His grin was lazy, the kind that came with one too many drinks and a false sense of confidence. "Haven't seen you around here before."

You barely glanced up, taking a small step away. "Yeah, I don't come here much."

"Shame," He said, leaning against the bar. "A girl like you? Bet you turn heads everywhere you go."

You internally cringed, fingers tightening around your glass. "No. Not really."

Like can he go away..

His chuckle was low, edged with something that made you uneasy. "C'mon, don't be shy. What’s your name?"

You shook your head, uninterested. "I don't think that matters."

His expression flickered, his eyes scanning over your outfit—a black off the shoulder top and a denim skirt that hugged your figure with knee high black leather boots that elongated your legs.

It wasn’t overly revealing one bit, it was classy, chic… casual… but the way he looked at you made you regret wearing it.

"Playing hard to get, hm?" He mused, taking a slow sip of his beer. "I like a challenge."

Your stomach churned. You glanced around, searching for your friends, but they were nowhere in sight.

"I’m not playing anything," You said flatly, shifting again, but he only closed the space.

"You here alone?" His tone was too casual.

You forced a smile, one that didn’t reach your eyes. "No. I'm with someone."

Which wasn’t necessary a lie!! You were waiting around for your friends.

But where the fuck were they.

His grin widened, as if you had just given him permission. "Lucky them."

Your pulse ticked up, discomfort settling in.

Then, his hand brushed against your wrist.

Not harsh, not aggressive, but enough to make you freeze.

"Let me buy you a drink," he said smoothly, tilting his head. "One drink, and if you’re still not interested, I’ll leave you alone."

You had a nearly empty drink. You held it up pointedly. "I’m good, thanks."

He scoffed, shaking his head. "Damn, you’re really making me work for it, huh?"

And of course, your patience finally snapped.

"Take the hint, dude," You said, louder this time, your voice sharper.

"I have a girlfriend."

A lie.

And before you could process what you were even doing..

You latched onto the nearest person passing by.

Her.

The tall blonde girl who had actually been eyeing you all night.

She had noticed you the second you walked in—how could she not? You looked effortlessly stunning, the dim lighting of the bar catching against your skin just right, your outfit screaming elegance.

This blonde in particular wasn’t usually the type to stare either, but something about you had captivated her.

So, when you suddenly turned to her, wide-eyed and desperate, she didn’t hesitate.

She knew what she needed to do.

"There you are—I’ve been looking for you," She murmured, slipping an arm around your waist, pulling your back flush against her with a protective demeanor.

Her voice was smooth, so effortlessly natural, like she had done this a million times before.

You barely had time to react—because damn, she smelled good. Something fresh, a little expensive, mixed with the faintest trace of whatever cologne she had on.

The guy stiffened. His eyes flickered between the two of you, like he was trying to process it. "Oh, I didn’t—"

"Yeah," She cut in smoothly. "I bet you didn’t."

You swallowed hard, your heart racing for a whole new reason.

The guy hesitated, looking like he wanted to argue, but she only tightened her grip on your waist, the hug from behind not leaving anytime soon.

"He bothering you, baby?," She asked, you felt her looking down at you.

“He is.” You nod without glancing back at her. Your hands clasped around hers where she held you.

The tall and blonde stranger glanced at the man who had been bothering you, a scoff escaping her lips. "Yeah, I’d take the hint if I were you.” A crooked grin on her lips as her grip around you tightened.

Something in her voice—calm, but firm—made the guy back down. He exhaled sharply, muttered something under his breath, and turned, disappearing into the crowd.

The second he was gone, your entire body sagged in relief.

"God," You muttered, your hands still clinging to her arms.

"You good?" She asked, turning you around so she could see your front. Her voice was lighter now, but her touch didn’t waver.

You finally got a better look at her, and—like.. wow.

Wow.

You had grabbed onto a stranger, yes, but somehow, you had picked the hottest one in the room.

She was dressed well—a white crop top that showed her midriff, paired underneath an unbuttoned black shirt and baggy realtree camo pants. A chain peeked over her undershirt, catching the light every time she moved and she had that easy confidence about her, like she knew exactly what she was doing.

And you were so in trouble.

"I—uh, yeah," You stammered, blinking rapidly.

She smirked, tilting her head. "So, do you always grab random women and claim them as your girlfriend, or am I just lucky?"

You flushed. "You were just the closest."

She hummed, unconvinced, her eyes slowly dragging over you, taking her time. "Lucky me, then."

Your stomach flipped.

You forced yourself to focus. "Sorry for, uh, grabbing you like that."

She shrugged, looking way too pleased. "No complaints here, really."

Her grip still hadn’t let go.

Your pulse spiked as you realized—her fingers were still resting against your waist, her thumb brushing over the fabric of your top absentmindedly.

The touch was barely there. But it was enough to make you insanely aware of her.

She smirked. "So, can I get my girlfriend a drink, then?"

Your stomach twisted again in the best possible way.

You bit your lip, fighting a smile.

"I guess it’s only fair." You shrugged. “And can I possibly get my girlfriend’s name?” You played along, the grin on your lips wider than ever.

“Paige.” She replied looking down at you.

And judging by the way her smirk deepened, she definitely knew what she was doing.

Yup, you were safe.

was thinking abt alessio’s tail again. the tail posts live rent free in my head atp pls. i love alessio’s tail <3 alessio is there too ig(jk i love him i swear) aneeways i rmb its been mentioned before that his tail is sensitive at the base and he would crumple if you licked his tail so like what if reader just started toying with alessio’s tail while tal was wrecking him(cough)

i need to see this bastard(affectionate) ruined and whimpering so badly lorddddd

🍒 𓂃 𝑶𝑹𝑫𝑬𝑹 𝑼𝑷 : rhubarb crumbles & key lime pie !! . . . corrupt gods ⊹ m. reader .

. ᘛ 𝑓𝑒𝑎𝑡​​​​​​​𝑢​​​​​​​𝑟​​​​​​​𝑖𝑛​​​​​​​𝑔﹕verse 164 ꮽ  zhào talisen & alessio agresta

 𐔌𖹭 ˖ ࣪  who's that ?⠀﹕a deceivingly charming deity of deceit and his master of magic husband

ּ  ֗ recepit ℘ ... you decide to tease poor alessio's sensitive tail while his husband fucks him ⊹ cw ٬٬ dom-ish reader? idk. ( anon you're so valid for that first comment lmaooo )

Your sorcerer lover has always been a being of great power. Great strength. Elegance unmatched. Cunning in both mind and tongue.

But oh — how beautiful he looked squeezing around his husband's dick. Struggling, as if he isn't used to be stretched out for centuries now. As if the man bouncing him on his lap was something he couldn't ever get used to.

And his voice -

"Pleasepleaseplease - ah - f-fucckk fuck please -"

Oh his voice. Alessio always found some way to spiral into the pathetic sight that he now is in Talisen's lap. Chest flushed into the other deity, back arched in a perfect slope as cruel hands clamp on his ass. Yank him back down into the cock he loves so much. The cock that rolls his eyes back and has his elongated tongue out drooling.

He's all for your viewing pleasure as you sit idly on the bed. Even with the violent jerks of the mattress. You barely notice. Not with the sight of Talisen's thick, punishing dick parting his walls and fucking load after load of cum into his tight little hole.

"Fucking whore," the other grunts. Claws bury into dark hair and yank the blabbering sorcerer away from his shoulder. "Can't even give our dearest some attention? Too busy squirting on my dick?"

Oh poor Alessio, he'll try to glance back at you. With teary cat eyes and drooling lips. You'll assure he has your forgiveness with a tender stroke. Your hand reaches out, flattens along the curve of his tail and then wraps around the base. Thumb stroking so tenderly.

"Awww, baby, it's okay." You croon. Dick throbbing in your pants as you lean over to kiss down his arching spine. A chuckle leaves you as you behold his throbbing tip. Your free hand circles around to cup his cock. Jerk him off while Talisen fucks him raw and rough.

"Is Talisen being too mean? Yeah? Oh you poor thing . . ."

"W-Wait - wait - waitfuuucckk I can't-"

His tail coils tight around your hand. Squirms all the same. You never relent. With lips to the back of his shoulders and your hands working on him so effortlessly. You cruelly push him through another orgasm. Your smile matches Talisen's rough chuckle as the man snaps his hips up, forcing Alessio to take all while he grinds and bucks into all those sweet spots you both know so well.

"Answer him, whore." Talisen snatches him by the jaw next. Turns his head so that your lips can meet your poor lover who tries to snatch his tail out of your teasing, overstimming hold.

He'll whimper into your lips. Whine. Beg. And all you'll do? Grin as you part with only saliva. Pump on the base of that poor little tail and watch as he crumbles all over again. Oh, what a beautiful sorcerer indeed.

ok so to ME girl!nico x girl!lando is interesting bc of lando’s record of pretending not having a “hero” (apart from valentino rossi), like supporting mclaren in 2007 but never saying specifically who (even tho as a brit it’s almost obvious who he was supporting).

Now if we turn that into girl!lando, who’s formative years watching f1 matched with girl!nico racing, then she must have at least look up to her a bit 🤏, even if she doesn’t like to admit for whatever reason like, “she slept with her teammate/rival and she’s conventionally pretty and she retired after winning”, she just doesn’t want to be associated with that and tries to be different. So she ignores her advice (leaving nico on seen when she tells her to be more self confident), because they are just “not alike”.

But the catch is that they are! Like her and max have been friends (with benefits) since forever and then 2024 rolls in and suddenly she’s sleeping with her rival #oops, and she remembers all the times she told herself that wouldn’t happen bc she is not nico and would never make the same mistake, but she’s different so she tries to make the relationship work while fighting the title, speaking positively about max, flying together, partying together and sleeping together. And sure for 2024 it works but in the future? She’s now leading the championship and doesn’t know how it will end or what will she choose if she has to pick between max and the championship. And that’s where she starts listening to nico and taking her advice

There’s more to it (like the whole self-doubt thing, the nico/williams lando/mclaren parallels) but it’s getting rlly long and i dont want to bore you so im gonna stop! Idk if this makes sense or if im just rambling but they are very dear to me

you're not boring me!!! I thought this was so interesting and fun. also something tragic about girl lando fucking max while he has a gf with a kid on the way like girl he's never gonna choose U over family you'll be a side piece forever STAND UP

I can totally see lando refusing to look up to nico cause she'd never fuck her rival or retire to have a family and then falling into similar patterns and trying to pretend it's different. at the same time fem nico would project so much of her and lewis' trauma on them and self project onto lando and try to micromanage her to win the wdc... for girl power ofc and totally not vicariously living through her. really delicious concept thank you so much for sharing and if you have more thoughts I'd love to know 🥺🥺🥺

"sounds nice... having a partner"

[mohntilyet]

Personal headcanon about the "you picked the wrong dellamorte" line, I don't think illario actually likes rook outside the context of them being someone close to lucanis. Like rook on their own isn't much to him, but when they meet it's yet another person talking about his cousin (why isn't he good enough for whatever job they're hiring for?) and on top of that they somehow bring him back from the dead (another whole can of worms for illario). Now he starts turning on the charm, but whether he's actually interested or this is just one more thing his cousin has that he doesn't and it gets under his skin, who knows. Either way, rook ignores illario, the guy who lives off his charm, and is instead interested in the guy who's never even dated before and thinks giving someone a knife is how to flirt. Infuriating

NO THANK YOU !! i am genuinely sorry if i have ever implied illario is into rook like i see some takes about it and unless it like ties into your rook's personal backstory i don't seriously think he's romantically jealous. at all. my enjoyment of that line stems from illario's pathological need to make it about himself and not see his strengths but what lucanis has, and therefore what he doesn't. he's annoyed enough to try and goad you in the middle of a fight about the 'wrong' dellamorte and completely blind to the fact that the venatori are at best, a stupid fucking alliance, and at worst, a cult that will devour the crows from the inside out and illario would have been the one to give them the keys. he sees lucanis make allies, needs his own, and instead of charming the other talons/houses as he should, he (probably spitefully) picks the venatori. or maybe he just thought it would be easier. ugh he makes me want to telekenetically throw him around

[sayakxmi]

Bro, don’t worry about it & don’t force yourself. If you’ve got time & energy, awesome, but if not I won’t be mad or anything.

And it’s cool, I know this can get tiring after some time, so I propose that after this answer we’re putting a close to this particular discussion (unless you really feel the need to add something, then by all means). There’s other shit to talk about independently, lol.

Side-note: did you know there's a keyboard shortcut to publishing a post? I've just found out XDDD

Agreed on the concepts & side characters. Really wish they got more attention.

I mean, I like time travel a lot, so the premise does it for me, but I 100% agree on the execution being far from great. All of this, really. I'm pretty sure I ranted about El Dorado in some author's notes, too. Or comment. Idk. I definitely ranted. [Yeah, the rant is here] Like, bro, they've been tormenting these kids for hell-if-i-know-how-long, then they have the audacity to ask them to cooperate, and GOUENJI AND KIDOU FUCKING SUPPORT THAT, but I think the final nail in the coffin for me was the fact that Shindou, of all fucking people, was doing his absolute damnest to make things work, where the people who did jack shit to deserve a guarter of this enormous act of benevolence and were the ones to acually benefit from his help - all they were doing was make things difficult for him. If I were Shindou, I would've just been like alright fuck you then (leaves the match like Fei).

And don't even get me started on the fact that Feida, for all the destruction, are infinitely more sympathetic than El Dorado could ever dream to be. Like, I'm sorry, your system is so oppressive it turned children into terrorists, and your answer to the problem is... mmm, let's erase them from existence. Yeah, sure, let's perpetuate the status quo that led you to this situation. And the fucking vaccine thing. Right, it's the SSC who are the problem, and not the system, of course. (sarcasm) Ugh.

Side note, yaeh, I think watching a dude die should've left a bigger impact, but the only person who kinda refers to it at some point is Tsurugi himself, who wasn't even there at the time.

(I think I enjoyed CS more in the past, but a side-effect of rewriting something is that you have to kinda recognize where the issues are, and that makes you all the more attentive to these, eh.)

Yeaah. I could believe it being one-sided for trust issues reasons, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Admittedly, I'm not sure if Fei's trust issues are something I wrote for him or were they in the actual show. As I've said, haven't finished the rewatch, but I had to reread my stuff to remember how I wrote it, so it's way more fresh in my memory.

YEAH. Also, man what a fantastic point to all of this. Because, really, Kinako did trust Asurei rather easily, what a mess. Tbf I can probably chalk it up, at least a bit, to her times being a bit... Well, wars don't break out overnight, no matter what it might seem in books or media. Especially considering many of the SSC we see seem... nice. Outside of the Feida business, that is. Giris and Meia are dumbasses in love, Fei is a nice kid, SARU is somebody who just wants everybody to get along. I can't imagine them just deciding one day Imma fuck up the world. Hell, we knows from Fei that he was abandoned for being an SSC. The system of the new world was one that marginalized and abused them, and it was the matter of time before somebody as ambitious and powerful as SARU would appear - assuming there were no others. Anyway, the point I'm making is that Kinako was living in very interesting times. The raising tensions, the shadow of a war, all that jazz. I can imagine that even if she didn't believe Asurei, the situation could've been so exhausting for a child that she was, that she would've gone for, if nothing else, to catch a break from it all. Bonus, I can absolutely see Kinako not being against SSC, which would've alienated her further.

ASDFGHJK, rip Wandaba. Imma be honest - I don't remember how I feel about canon Wandaba. I don't think I care all that much. I love him in SIYH, he's a standin adult when there's none, but in canon I just have no memory of the guy. He's there to point the gun at people and not be the coach like ever, I guess.

Also, for the record, this time I was not shamelessly self-promoting myself. Like, in this entire answer here. I'm mostly referring to SIYH because it influences my perception of things and characters, and I have a much better memory of it than canon. Basically, I might be biased, and I'm giving you a heads up that I might be biased XD

Yeaaaa. To be fair, I do think the time of the reveal is good BUT it required more build up to it, yknow? More hinting stuff. Fuck, have Fei be distrustful of adults, for example. Some occassional vague flashback/reference to something. Instead in CS it feels a little random.

Man, I didn't even rememberd that, lol. Torb could've been such a fucking interesting character if they tried - if not for himself, then for others. He's a kid that accidentally got yeeted into the past & raised by dinosaurs, and, like, he gets a chance to see his parents? He doesn't do it, and I'd say it could be a good representation for adopted kids - they don't have to see their birth parents if they don't want to, and Torb feels comfortable as Touchan's son - but I can't not feel bad for the parents, when it was stated to be an accident. They didn't want their child to randomly disappears. They probably mourned him. At the very least, I would've loved for Torb to give it more thought, especially given the theme of family in CS. Idk, could be interesting to have Kinako and Fei disagree for example - Kinako tries to encourage Torb to at least see them, while Fei's like if he doesn't want to, he doesn't, if they lost their kid, it's on them, should've been more careful. Maybe have Tsurugi get involved, too, since family is a huge theme for him as well, and CS is the arc he supposedly matures into the character he is in Galaxy, so that could connect it nicely. Hell, have KARIYA be invoved, as the token orphan of the group. Otonashi. Kidou. Fuck, Gouenji would work, too. FUCK maybe Torb's parents were scientists at El Dorado, an accident happened, and they pleaded with their supervisors for help, but were refused. BOOM now Torb could have motivation to join Raimon. Ok, I'm AU-ing here, so I'll stop.

I have a soft spot for the Omega Trio. Alpha being my fave, he's great. Also, consider this: Omega Trio as parallels to Gryphon Trio. It's more with my AU characterizations of them, but, eh, I wanted to share. Alpha-Tenma, Beta-Tsurugi and Gamma-Shindou. I won't elaborate cuz spoilers, except for Tsurugi & Beta - they're easy, cuz they're their respective trio's powerhouses.

Yeaa, so I rememberd it correctly. Nobody but Kariya noticing really feels like It happens for plot reasons, and not because it fits the characters. I mean, I do think it's awesome that Kariya does, but the fact that nobdoy else...

Boy oh boy oh boy oh boy, I am so writing that one down :eyes: Like I defeinitely had plans regarding Kirino and Shindou's relationship, but that convo is just perfect.

Same from me, good afternoon XD

still thinking about them. they're both wearing green sob

i love this scene so bad, kirino walks up to this nobleman with no fear, tells him like it is and when kinako sees it she jumps in to support him, letting him do the main talking and have his moment while she gets to taunt the guy (and use her upperclassman as a shield skshfhfkjs). her support of kirino during this arc was SO sweet. she liked jeanne too, she connected with her as well but she saw that as much as she wanted to miximax with her, it was not something she needed. but kirino did, so she selflessly decided to help him achieve that :( screaming crying throwing up

truly the duo of all time, if chrono stone bothered to give them more moments together

Don't mess with us dream smp fans we erase our own story and characters.

Like some of yall are really immature. Go watch peppa the pig atp.

TO ME, THAT’S CINEMA

[quietwingsinthesky]

i do love canon amy & rory but god, does some part of me wish they really had gone with the idea of the doctor picking up a child as a companion (and then later, that child’s best friend with a huge crush on her.) with the rest of the season really not changing at all, except now it’s amelia pond with an angel in her head killing her and lost alone in the woods. it’s little rory who dies and is forgotten and becomes a toy soldier. if this is going to be a fairy tale, then let it be one. children have never been safe in fairy tales.

[ivoryratdoggerythethird]

hot take (? maybe? i don't fully know what the general stance is on this) but i don't think chuuya would've left the mafia with dazai

not because their bond is shallow (sike, fyodor) but because i think chuuya found his grip in the mafia by the time the dark era rolls around. he entered the mafia because of dazai yeah but they both have lives outside of each other still. after everything that happens in fifteen, koyou being in the mafia, and also just chuuya's unwavering loyalty - which he swore to mori, however unfortunately but it's still the truth - i think he would've let dazai go alone.

but there's that other thing though; his bond with dazai. his very significant bond with dazai. that's why i think he would've let dazai go; as long as dazai isn't leaving because of something he did, or plotting to like, burn the mafia down, i don't think he would've been particularly bothered beyond the 'dealing with traitors' business but honestly lets be real if you're important enough in the mafia, being a traitor or threat or enemy means jackshit (tachihara, verlaine, chuuya, even dazai is literally invited back by mori lmao).

i can see chuuya just tsk-ing and waving him off like "you probably have an escape route planned so i'm not even gonna bother pursuing you, won't give you the satisfaction of dying quickly either, you do you bastard, imma go celebrate with wine now, don't die i'm still gonna kill you someday, see ya." or like. you know. some rough approximation of that.

i think if dazai actually told him, considering what i know of his character thus far, chuuya would've helped him leave or, at least, rolled his eyes and looked the other way and do essentially a scripted song and dance of hunting him down with everyone, including mori, knowing full well that a) dazai won't be found unless he doesn't want to be, and b) the only person remotely capable of finding him would just punch him in the face then let him go again

skk would probably just keep up their usual bickering nonsense via randomly breaking into each others places (i.e. dazai because he's now broke and chuuya exclusively breathes designer air) and even if they don't interact for long periods, they would easily slide back into their dynamics whenever they do, as it is in canon except they'd likely manage to be even more in-tune and annoying with each other.

(also the ADA would know about the mysterious rich redhead whose number is listed as "dazai's dog" to call up when dazai is up to his shenanigans so he can come over and kick discipline into him. guessing who the hell he is another one of their mysteries and they know it ties in with dazai's old job, just not how. ranpo cackles everytime he shows up. he and kunikida meet up for lunch to bitch about dazai.)

tl;dr, imo skk could've been skk for the missing four years with chuuya still being an executive and dazai stiill being a detective if only mister cyclops there chose communication over blowing a car up, because i do believe chuuya would've let everything play out the same as in canon except he and dazai wouldn't be cut off the whole time
