SPLATOON MEGA CRACKPOT THEORY: AGENT 8 NEVER EXISTED BEFORE OCTO EXPANSION AND TARTAR IS THEIR MOTHER
No, seriously. I was just looking at a picture of Octo Expansion's character select.
Tumblr media
Eight is floating around, naked, in a vat of sanitized ink. The ink conveniently obscures their little octopus genitals, but why are they floating in a vat of sanitized ink?
(For best results, listen to Who Am I? from Final Fantasy VII while reading this post https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfRNQleP2bw)
We know from the level Belly Phase that being submerged in sanitized ink, like any other foreign liquid, splats an Octoling to death by inundating and bursting their body.
We know from the level Fake Plastic Station and many levels after it that a regular Octoling being newly sanitized only involves the use of an IV drip, not submerging the whole body in ink.
I therefore deduce that Eight must be floating in sanitized ink because they're about to be printed, born from it.
What other evidence do I have? Well, it's the mem cakes.
The mem cakes you win for completing tests in Octo Expansion are apparently Agent 8's memories.
Agent 8; however, was supposedly in the Octarian Army before joining Kamabo Co.
The Octarian Army are trapped underground. That's why they steal Zapfish in the first place. Agent 8 has never visited the surface world, yet they have memories of the Inkopolis shopkeepers anyway.
Tumblr media
This means at least some of Agent 8's memories are not their own. In turn, "Agent 8" is the composite of multiple minds in one body.
The only way to reconcile Agent 8 having memories of the Octarian Army and the surface world is that Agent 8's narrative of having had a single, consistent life is false and they are an amalgamate.
There were Octolings at one point with these memories separately, they got blended into their raw ink form and fused into Eight.
Also, recall that Seita Inoue interview from 2018. He says Agent 8 is designed to be "around 14" physically. The Octoling soldiers have to be at least 14 years old to assume their adult/human forms.
Agent 8, meanwhile remembers watching Agent 3 fight DJ Octavio two years ago.
If Inoue is not simply mistaken, Agent 8 would have been 12 years old then (a wiggly, goopy, Paul-ish octopus), and they would not be a functional soldier, and thus have no reason to be on Octavio's UFO.
Tumblr media
Note this Sunken Scroll, where Marina and some other Octarians are watching Three and Octavio's fighting concert. All of the spectators are soldiers, whether Octolings or single tentacles.
I must conclude, then, that Eight's defining memory of Three that inspired them. their "Inner Agent 3", is somebody else's memory; the memory of a soldier who did watch Agent 3 before at some point between Splatoon 1 and 2, collecting the thangs and blending themselves into goo.
I can only assume that Tartar literally created Agent 8, as the "supreme DNA", the sum of all its blending experiments, the sum of all knowledge, the blueprint for a new world devoid of individuality and thus devoid of conflict.
Tumblr media
This is why Tartar is shocked that #10,008 would escape the blender after willingly entering it. Tartar printed out #10,008 specifically for the purpose of solving tests, finding thangs, blending themselves up, inviting more people to blend themselves up until everyone in the world is part of Tartar's sentient mint toothpaste clusterfuck.
As Tartar gave birth to Agent 8, this makes Tartar Agent 8's mother.
The Telephone only attempts to destroy civilisation as we know it in response to Eight escaping - there's no indication that its NILS Statue gambit would occur had Eight not escaped. Probably, it was playing the long game, waiting for people to blend themselves into an amalgam until everyone is soup, but then when its perfect, respectable amalgam, its child, developed of a sense of self and escaped, it decided "screw the world of individuality actually".
If you've played BioShock 2, think of Tartar as a Sofia Lamb figure, and specimen #10,008 as an Eleanor, a People's Daughter, the sum of all past knowledge in one unholy vessel.
I believe this is why the character is only referred to as "Eight" - even after they retrieve their memories, they still don't remember their name, even to Pearl and Marina, their closest friends. Why? It's because they never had a name. They're the composite of anywhere up to ten thousand minds in one body.
Tumblr media
In talking of the consciousness of "multiple Octolings mixed together" in this Dev Diary, Marina almost gets the memo. She still asks "could sanitization have also caused Agent 8's memory loss?", she is still under the impression that Agent 8 "lost their memory", rather than coming to my conclusion that Agent 8 was an artificially-constructed being in the first place.
JUST ONE MORE THING...
Tumblr media
Kamabo Co. still carries out tests. Commander Tartar is now powerless to destroy Inkopolis or merge everyone's minds into goo or whatever, but the company is very much still active as of Splatoon 3.
In this White Day 2020 artwork,
Tumblr media
Agents 8 and 3 are playing with C.Q. Cumber.
Recall that Splatoon takes place in real time, and that all of its promotional artwork is diegetic and therefore canon unless proven otherwise.
This artwork is from 2020, and it portrays Agent 3 (who never participated in Kamabo Co.'s tests) in the Deepsea Metro, playing with C.Q. Cumber, who still wears a Kamabo Co. hat, suggesting that he still works for Kamabo Co. as of 2020 (three years after Octo Expansion).
My other proof for this claim is the presence of Kamabo Co. advertisments outside the Deepsea Metro entrance in Inkopolis Square in Splatoon 3, as of Inkopolis Square's addition to the game in 2024.
The metro entrance is blocked off by Marigold and the Tableturf Battle corner, yet the paper advertisements are still there on the ground.
You might suggest that the advertisements are the same ones that were there in Splatoon 2, but paper left on the ground outside doesn't last seven years.
The Deepsea Metro itself is, as we see in Octo Expansion and in the maps of Lemuria Hub, a regular subway system where people commute to work, as well as the site of a weird octopus-Aperture Science facility.
The advertisements, are specifically for Kamabo Co., not for the Deepsea Metro itself.
The fact that Agent 8 willingly returns to the Deepsea Metro in the White Day 2020 artwork suggests that they have some kind of emotional attachment to it, like Marina does to the Octarian domes.
This would make sense if, rather than just a place where Eight was held captive and forced to solve tests for a few hours then escape, the Deepsea Metro was Eight's actual birthplace.
I hope, if nothing else, this post made you think.
On a slightly related note, I got 83% marks on my course assignment about the deep sea and its organisms, including those that gather around hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, and whale falls.

How did you manage to handle not one, but FOUR separate accounts in fl? I recently made the account for my HD little guy but having to do the tutorial again just seems miserable
there's... weirdly several answers to that question, actually??
a HUGE part of it is due to the way FL is structured. the 10-minute action timer is a core part of the game on a fundamental level, and the fact that i can very easily run out of stuff to do on one character and thus have an excuse to quickly and easily swap to another is just... convenient? satisfying? i'm not entirely sure how to explain it. the fact that i can make progress even while i am fundamentally simultaneously Not Making Progress is like pure dopamine for my freak insane awful little brain. there's just something really pleasing about spending all of my actions pursuing The Goal Of The Day™ on one account before casually swapping to another and doing the same without feeling like i'm wasting time or acting to the first account's explicit detriment. the downtime helps! the recharge time helps! the structure really really works!!
i'm technically only actively playing three, maybe two accounts minimum. the only reason the fourth (the one that'll be my future BaL playthrough) currently exists at all is so i can get his earlygame completely out of the way now and not have to waste time running through it all later, when what i actually want to do is play the ambition i've made myself wait a full year to play. and also getting free goodies as seasonal stuff happens,, something something surprise tools to help us later. the only two accounts i'd say i'm really "actively playing" at the moment are caeru and lark- and of the two, lark takes the most priority, since his ambition is the one i'm currently pursuing in earnest. for a couple months now- despite being My Main FL Character- the scoundrel has actually been pretty inactive on a gameplay front outside of the occasional progression in TLC and discordance content. purely by virtue of having Very little left to do outside of Very long-term grinds and vanities. they're in their "now what?" "now you can start playing the game" era. they've graduated to previous protagonist background cameo in a sequel anime series. they're like the yin FLPC equivalent of red at the top of mount silver. they're Literally just vibing rn. i only keep posting about them regardless because i'm insane and i will never ever ever ever ever let that bat go. but yeah, big TLDR, outside of doing the bare minimum to keep making waves/notability up every week, i'm not actually spending that much time on accounts i'm not currently actively interested in playing. and that accounts for way more gaming spoons than you might think.
i have a virtually lifelong history of playing MMOs, especially and specifically world of warcraft. i was born in the endless grind for useless video game pixel vanities and/or bragging rights. molded by it. you all have merely adapted to doing the same piece of content a pointlessly excessive amount of times for literally no reason besides whimsy and folly. me? i've done my time. i've served my sentence. i've spent weeks doing the original burning crusade netherwing dailies. i've devoted days to running praetorium over and over and over again, back-to-back, nonstop, long before square enix cut it in half and made it NOT take at minimum an hour and a half per run. i've perfected my silverwastes + auric basin goldfarming strategies. i've (almost) crafted dragonwrath tarecgosa's rest. i've killed the sha of anger so many times its dying scream of agony is embedded into the very fabric of my being. ""only"" doing making your name content four times over? that is nothing to me. it means nothing to me. it is so infinitesimal i can do the persuasive seduction quests in my sleep. it's not a matter of handling misery, or having the capacity, or even sighing as i remember the brass embassy raid segment of the watchful questline seriously i don't know why i keep forgetting that exists or what even is my problem with it i just am so consistently mildly inconvenienced by it and its highly specific resource requirements and it is the worst thing ever. maybe i'm just so used to the scoundrel's near-infinite money and troves of disposable items that i've completely forgotten what being poor is like. despite having done that step 3 fucking times now. ahem. anyway. i have transcended the feeble mortal bindings of my resistant-to-grinding flesh and ascended to a higher plane of enlightenment, they may call me insane but they will be the ones left laughing when they see what that "insanity" has wrought, i've usurped them, i've usurped them all-
hacks and coughs and awkwardly clears my throat. i mean. uh. um. Ahem.
the empress' court artistry + tales of the university nerfs helped too.
#and yes#before you ask#i have forgotten which account has which items/has done which content many a time#i think the most painful incident was forgetting to keep up the scoundrel's making waves while i was still playing nemesis with caeru#given that im trying to build it up to 12 and reset their specialization... that was uniquely painful#then again they have like 40 BDR so it wasnt actually that inconveniencing lmao#fallen london#ask#long post#sorry for the infodump + sudden villain monologue.#all jokes and personal accounts aside i totally get the apprehension abt doing that stuff again#it's not for everyone. not by a long shot.#im only doing this because im genuinely invested and in love with this silly little browser game#and way back when i started i made a (only half metaphorical) solemn oath to experience all of its ''main stories''#and truly see everything it has to offer#(bc i like. physically cant do hyperfixations by halves. i need to consume Everything abt the thing or i'll explode)#(and even then i'll probably explode anyway. it's either completely drop it or go All In until it stops taking up so much space in my brain#(and. given the track record. that is not happening with FL for a while yet)#but like. that isnt actually normal behavior. just. just to clarify.#from what ive seen a VAST majority of people do not go out of their way to play literally every ambition#and that is so valid. it is so overwhelming. you have to juggle so much.#you have to play the earlygame So Many Goddamn Times.#(as i said. served my time. did my sentence. i am my scars. etc etc)#the best advice i can give as someone who's so completely desensitized to that repetition it doesnt even phase me anymore?#the same advice i can stress to all FL players. legitimately just take ur time with it. play when you want to.#dont when you dont.#sometimes you have to grit your teeth and bear things. and when it comes to alts you Will have to grit your teeth and bear it all again#but the beauty of this being a game that one plays for fun is that unlike. say. crushing deadlines or annoying coworkers in real life#you are completely within your power to decide when where and if you want to grit and bear it all#..wow this is ADVANCED yin rambling holy shit. i actually reached the tag limit. i think this ask should be put on some kind of list

the music for the colgera battle is quite delightful (wow i just need to say i like it. goodness) its a shame i couldnt really properly hear it while actually playing on account of having to sit right next to a loud ac but listening to it fully the other day was nice. took me a few weeks but i can appreciate it now - and listen ... im a simple guy, the rito village theme being incorporated into a section of it is just wow :-( ....... big leitmotif fan. walking into zoras domain is going to kill me
#music is the only thing important to me actually.#when i played botw i spent a lot of time dilly dallying as one could say. basically just splorin. and riding my horse around in literal#circles#it took me years to do more than 2 of the divine beasts ... LOL.#anyway. in botw i always did mipha first but as of late noted to myself that when i replay botw sometime in the future im going to head for#vah medoh first .... revalis gale is my best friend#i sort of took that over to totk and after a few days i was like okay im going to rito village im curious#i think im going to have very fond memories of that in the future. i really enjoyed doing all of that :-)#i want to say - totk very much so has had the ability to give me new ''wow'' moments that i had in botw#and gosh .... thinking about how ive played these two games at very different points in my life ... ahhh#in my totk playing i have been very much spacing out the main objective stuff. i did get around to rito village somewhat quickly#like perhaps a few days after i got the game (finished the tutorial area on the first night and just went to towns and explored yadada#for a few days after that#and then i did gerudo town a little while after that#so far i have not ventured to goron city or zoras domain. ive explored a little bit in each of those regions but have not yet gone and#committed. although goron city is next#ohh i did a labyrinth the other day. wicked fucked up man they put half this shit in the sky also randomly The hands were there#scary. no more elaboration#back to music. i learned to play miphas melody on piano a few years back#i really need to get back to piano ... learning to duet kass' theme with my sibling but ive been slacking on my half#hyrule warriors age of calamity was insane purely for hearing a version of miphas theme but for battle#like duude. are you hearing this? dude........#just remembered sidon. dont even get me started .......... sniffle#so crazy when there is music

❥HOW WE LOVE IV
pairing: various x reader (ambessa, sevika, viktor)
rating: giving/receiving love languages headcanons
a/n: hi everyone, so sorry this took forever!! my mental health hasn't been in the best shape lately but i wanted to get this out for you all asap, so here it is!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
SEVIKA
giving:
sevika is quite literally a softie under all the walls that Zaun has caused her to build up around herself
i think she'd give her lover acts of service the most with a side of words of affirmation, but let me cook
we see in the show that her doing things for people (especially silco) is like second nature to her, so i think that would be the more outward and first way she'd express her love
it doesn't really matter what the task is either, you don't even really need to ask her to do it either, she just does it.
she usually keeps a very watchful eye over you, often not letting you out her sight if she doesn't have to
she makes it a point to remember what you need at certain points, remembering every scenario in which you showed how you feel to her and making sure she responds accordingly
after her walls slowly let down with how much time she spent around you, she'd let out small instances of the soft nature she holds inside her
she's a sucker for making sure you know exactly what she thinks of you, especially when she knows you need it
she makes sure she lets you know that she cares for you deeply, even going so far as to tell you why she cares for you and what she loves most about you
i think it would take her a while to fully open up to her lover, but once she does, she's sure that it'll be only you that she ever does it to.
receiving:
sevika is so used to doing things for other people, she rarely does anything for herself or has anyone doing things for her
with how she reacted when jinx made her an arm, i think she rarely has ever had someone do something significant for her, or even just something in general
i think she'd really appreciate it if you did things for her, but i don't think she'd know how to react at first
she's well aware of doing things simply because someone asks you to do it, but if you did something for her that she didn't even ask for? she's already seeing you in a different light than before
it could be something as simple as bringing her a lighter when she misplaced her own, or even using your own to light whatever she's smoking and she would silently appreciate it a lot more than she thought she would
i think quality time would be a big one for her, especially since half of her time was spent doing favors for silco or handling whatever dirty business he needed handled
it doesn't have to necessarily be romantic either, although, i don't think she'd be opposed to that either
it could really be just sitting together in the last drop while she's actually on "break" playing card games or just having a drink together, just being around you makes her day better
i can see physical touch being something she likes as well, although i don't really see her doing much of pda, only because she'd rather not have you possibly be endangered because she has her hands all over you
Tumblr media
VIKTOR
giving:
i feel like viktor would give his partner a lot of praise, even on things considered "minuscule"
think about it, to him, an accomplishment IS an accomplishment, no matter how small it may seem
now, do i think he'd be massive about it? no. but i DO think he'd let you know whether through his words (or actions) that he does recognize every accomplishment
words of affirmation doesn't just have to do with accomplishments for him, i think he'd give subtle compliments as well
now, there are two ways i can see him going about this. one, he GENUINELY gives subtle compliments and doesn't entirely gauge your response in the moment. or..he does compliment you on purpose to see your reaction, only doing it subtly to dodge any accusations of doing it on purpose (he totally finds it hilarious)
viktor just screams observant to me, not JUST observant but he somehow notices every little detail in my mind
new haircut? he's the first to say something. new perfume or cologne? he mentions it as soon as you step into the room, you don't even have to BE next to him.
receiving:
i think viktor is a simple man receiving wise, but him loving acts of service and words of affirmation
side note, to any artists who draw viktor drinking coffee straight from the coffee pot, i LOVE you
no, but seriously, i could see him adoring when you bring him food or water/coffee whenever he's holed up in his lab
i think it brings him a sense of comfort knowing you'll care for him even when he's basically drowning in his work (and his own genius)
even if it's a bit strange to him in the beginning, he warms up to it once he realizes how much better he feels both mentally and physically once he actually eats/drinks whatever you bring him
i personally think that words of affirmation is what makes him fall for you especially, but just hear me out for a sec
no doubt viktor had to do a LOT to climb his way to his position, i think someone acknowledging his intelligence beyond the seemingly obligatory compliments would be more impactful to him
i think it would make him feel good no matter if you were someone who were an inventor like him or not, just the fact that you were putting in enough effort for him makes him happy
slightly off topic, i feel like he would love someone who can quip back at his sarcasm, especially if they try to equally match him or even exceed his energy
just making light jokes with him even for five minutes would somehow energize him for the rest of the day in my mind, no idea why
Tumblr media
AMBESSA
giving:
ambessa is a proud woman, one who doesn't keep anyone who she doesn't want around her in her presence
i think ambessa would shower her lover in gifts, but not just any gifts, spoils of war.
as her lover, you'd certainly reflect the part outwardly, that was something she'd make sure of
i could see her giving you relatively anything you ask for, even if she had to fight to get it. (i.e.: garments, jewelry, etc.)
despite this though, ambessa does use gift giving as a means to satiate you in the beginning of your relationship, at least, until she fully trusts you
her gifts (sometimes) are a way for her to show her love during the long periods of time where she may not see you, and other times, well, it's a way she tries to express her emotions
she actually loves what quality time she can get with you, her favorite things to do are any type of spa treatments or just having you sit with her while she tells you stories of her countless battles
something i think she'd do is have your wrist in her hand, trailing your fingertips across her scars as she tells you the story of how she proudly earned them
i don't think she'd exaggerate much about her stories though, maybe in cases where she isn't proud of how it ended out/how she got the scars
occasionally possessive though, she loves it when people admire you by her side but HATES it when the admiring goes too far
receiving:
as for receiving, i think she'd like quality time and acts of service the most
ambessa doesn't seem like the person to keep anyone around who doesn't benefit her in some way, (we see where mel gets it from) so i could see the relationship sprouting from you doing any type of favors for her
regardless of whatever kind of favors they may be, i think i'd come to a point where she realizes she actually wants you around and not what you do for her
however, this doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate what you do for her while you are together, not at all
when she loves, she loves HARD, and this is especially for acts of service in particular
she'd appreciate every little thing you did, especially if you did it without her having to ask you to do it. in her mind, it means so much more when you do it on your own accord
i don't think it would really matter what you do, just the fact that you'd love her enough to do something to alleviate her when she's constantly on guard
physical touch, though, i feel like she'd love it in certain situations especially
ambessa was relatively untouchable in battle, and even then, not many people could say that she allowed them to touch her intimately besides casual hookups
i think she'd like non-sexual touches especially, in her mind, i could see her as considering them much more intimate than just a simple touch
i think she loves being held, especially after not seeing you for a while? it makes her feel like ambessa and not the wolf of noxus

Could you write a bailey's sister! Make out with benj nielsen?
°⋆。right in front of you
​🇧​​🇪​​🇳​​🇯​ ​🇳​​🇮​​🇪​​🇱​​🇸​​🇪​​🇳​
Tumblr media
✦ synopsis: in which benj realizes the right girl has been right in front of him all along
⟡ content warnings: none just fluff!
✦ word count: 1223
✮⋆ a/n: sorry this took me so long ive been busy w school 😭😭 also idk if this is what u had in mind. If not, feel free to drop another request w more details!! ⋆✮
p.2
Tumblr media
You hate your sister for a lot of things: the fact that she doesn't let you wear her make-up, or her clothes, the fact that she's embarrassed to be seen with you, the fact that she still calls you her "baby sister" even though you're 15 now and only a year younger than her anyway, the fact that Benj has been in love with her for years even though she has this weird push and pull thing with him where she treats him like shit but then acts like she likes him when she doesn't actually give two shots about her him and just like the attention all the while you've always been right there.
One thing you don't hate about her, though, is the fact that she drops you off at the Nielsens' when she picks Alyssa up to hang out because it comes with a perk—you get to spend the day with Benj.
You've been best friends your entire lives because while your sisters were casting you off to the side, you were hanging out with each other.
And still, the idiot has heart eyes for the one sister who doesn't look his way, when all you've ever done is see him.
Your sister is a stupid jerk, you're sure of it, a damn toxic bitch, too—pulling the sweetest boy you've ever known along for the flattery then tossing him away when she's bored, or finds someone else, or simply when they're at school because she's embarrassed to be seen around Freshmen when she's literally just a Sophmore.
Sisterly love and all that—but that doesn't mean you have to like her.
It's getting to you now, like it always does, and it's bubbling up, up, up, 'till it just comes out—
Saturday afternoon. Rainy. Cold. You're laying on Benj's bed, staring at the ceiling, legs draped over the edge. You're wearing one of his sweaters. You listen to the sound of the rain tapping against the window, the glass cold to the touch.
He's sitting next to you, so close you can feel his body heat, and the mattress dips under your head whenever he bounces his thigh. He has his lower lip between his teeth, muttering little swears. Hands grip the controller, eyes trained on the shooter game displayed on the T.V. in front of him.
He groans and mutters a soft "Fuck." as he loses, tipping back a little.
You just can't take it. You really, really can't—
"Hey, Benj?"
He pulls one side of his head seat away from his ear. "Hmm?" he hums, looking down at you.
"Why do you like my sister?"
His face flushes—not because you're not supposed to know. He knows you know; he told you himself. You still remember the day: 4th grade, when he'd started chasing frogs. His face was red from running around when he met you under the slide at recess. Bailey and Alyssa were on the seesaw. He'd leaned over and said, "I like someone." You got excited because you thought it might be you. And then he said it was your sister. Your relationship with her has been strained ever since.
No, he just didn't expect it. You can tell because he's choking on air when normally he loves talking about Bailey.
He coughs one more time to clear his throat. "What?" he asks, strained.
You sit up to be eye-level with him and play with the sleeves of his hoodie you're wearing. It even smells like him—shampoo and lotion and vanilla.
"Bailey. Why do you like her? She's a bitch."
"Oh, come on," he says, and there's an amused glint in his eyes. He knows you and your sister don't get along. He and Alyssa don't get along very well, either. "I know o don't have the best relationship with my own sister, either, but don't you think you're being a little mean?"
"Benj, seriously." You're sounding upset now.
He was going to start a new game—but he stops short hearing your curt tone. He puts his controller down and hooks his headset around his neck. "Y/N, what's going on?"
You take a shaky intake of breath, feeling tears start to prick at your eyes—and your jaw start to set the more you think about your sister. "How do you like Bailey? She doesn't even like you. Hell, she's embarrassed by you!" you exclaim, throwing your hands around.
His face furrows with confusion, then intense with a flicker of pain. He slumos back. "You're being mean," he says softly, defeated. You hate seeing him defeated. He's too nice to look defeated.
You chew on the inside of your cheek hard to fight off how queasy you feel. "I'm not trying to be mean, Benj. I just don't think you should waste your time on her." When I'm right here.
When I actually appreciate you.
When I actually love you.
Even with that sad, puppy dog face, he still has a little awestruck glow in his eyes. "Because she just . . ." He sighs dreamily. "She's great, you know? She's pretty, and funny, and—"
You've taken this for years now. You can't. Not today.
You kiss him.
It's mindless, really. Your body leans forward of it's own accord, driven by the way you yearn for him.
His eyes widen and he just freezes, holding his hands up like he's scared to move. When it ends, and you look at him like you're a little shocked by your own actions, it hits him: he's fucking in love with you.
Sure, there's always been that Baily infatuation—but that was always the chase of the unattainable thing. It's easier to want someone you know you'll never have a chance with because then when you're rejected you don't have to confront the forever-hungry fear that maybe you're unlovable. It was never real.
But you? Oh, you . . .
You've always been real.
"Benj—" you go to say when he grabs you by the elbow and pull you into a bruising kiss. There's no hesitation this time, no freezing up. You flow right into it, melt under him as he shuffles, hand on the small of your back as he guides you to lay down. Your lips move against his like they have a mind of their own. The kiss is messy and unexperienced and it doesn't matter because it's good and it's Benj.
God, nothing has ever felt so natural.
You fist his shirt and pull his body against yours. He's half against you, holding himself up with his forearm next to your head, that hand absentmindedly playing with your hair, the other hand grabbing your waist and shifting you in time with his shifts under him and all you can think is hands, hands, hands.
Benj's hands.
Hot hands.
Hand placement.
That hand slipping under your (his) sweater to hold your bare skin.
He lets out a little desperate sound before pulling away, panting and eyes glazed over. You're panting too, loosening your grip on his shirt to press your hands flat on his chest.
Benj blinks, wets his lips. "I really have been wasting my time with Bailey," he quips breathlessly.

He has to get used to it. He's used to being in the basement alone, surrounded by silence for most of the days as he's working on another art piece. He likes the peace, away from the screams of tourists or arguments with Bo or the confusing chatter from Lester. So when you try to make conversation with him....he's not ignoring you, he just kind of...doesn't know what to think. You speak softly, but your voice is so deep it kind of throws him off his game for those first couple of weeks of being with you.
He wants you to talk more. Eventually, he can't get enough of you and your voice. He'll often sit you down near his desk while he's working on something and just listen to you talk about whatever. Ever so often he'll turn to you and nod to show that he is listening to you so that you don't stop. On the odd day that you are doing something that stops you from being able to sit with him downstairs, he'll find himself restless and unable to create anything worthwhile.
Easily flustered. You say literally anything that has a hint of a flirty undertone and this man is bright red under his mask, fumbling with his hands as he tries to sign back to you. If you whisper something in his ear, flirty or not, he's going to have a heart attack. You have a lot of fun teasing him. He likes it, too! (But he's too embarrassed to admit it)
Bo Sinclair
Tumblr media
He tries to deepen his voice around you. It's obvious that he's a bit intimidated by how deep your voice is, but he'll call you an insecure pussy if you try to talk to him about it. He has to be the most intimidating/sexy guy in the room, y/n. Ambrose isn't big enough for the two of you!
He'll pretend to hate your voice, but really he finds it attractive. He'll still tease/bully you to no end about your voice, but once you've started dating he'll slow down the insults considerably (but not entirely). Hopefully your not insecure about it, because he certainly will use anything he can to keep you complacent/with him. "You think you can find anyone else that'll want you with that voice? I'm the best you'll ever hope to have, sweetheart."
He gets PTSD whenever you yell. Whether your joking or actually mad at him, your voice lowers even more when you yell and then suddenly he's a little boy again getting screamed at by his sonofabitch daddy. A switch will flip and he'll go into a rage, cursing you and anyone else out and pushing you out of the way to be alone with his cars. Give him a few hours to himself. Eventually he'll come back to you like it never happened, and if you really loved him, you'd play along.
He gets insanely jealous when tourists comment on your voice. He keeps a cool front, but inside he's already thinking about how the wax will look on their skin. You're voice is attractive, yes, but they aren't allowed to think about his boyfriend, period. If you want the tourists to not die in an extra painful manner, you'd best stay in the house where no one can see hear you.
Lester Sinclair
Tumblr media
"Woah! You alright, mister?" He thinks you're sick the first time you meet, and when you explain that that's just how your voice is he'll bombard you with semi-invasive questions. "Did ya' always sound like that? Does it hurt to talk like that?" He literally will grill you in the truck the entire time to Ambrose, ignoring anybody else you might've been with. Lester doesn't do social cues very well, so hopefully you don't take any offense to his questions. At least he's being genuine?
Loves it when you sing. He ain't good at it, but anytime he hears you singing he'll join you, belting out the worst fucking singing you've ever heard in your life. He thinks you'd make a great singer, y/n! You could be a duo! Jonesy could make it a trio! This guy is a riot, y/n.
Gets a little insecure around tourists. As you both escort the newest batch of victims to town, the girl in the back seat just will not shut the hell up about how sexy she thinks your voice is. He tries to laugh it off, but he can't help but think about all the better people you could be with. "I know I ain't no catch, y/n..." You have to reassure him at night about how amazing he is and how much you love him. And if that doesn't work, just remind him that he's the only person who gets to hear your voice in bed and you've got him smiling from ear to ear again.
Jonesy barked at you when she first heard you talk. She's never heard someone so baritone before! Of course, now whenever she hears your voice, it's all tail wags and kisses! Lester loves when the three of you get to finally turn in for the night, cuddled up into a little pile of love.

hmmm. things i genuinely enjoyed about veilguard:
- cinematics and graphics are obviously gorgeous. i love watching the hair move it's hypnotizing.
- literally the first time ive ever played a dragon age game where i had the difficulty above casual because i didnt fucking hate the combat this time
- on that note Thank You for bringing back secondary long range weapon rogues
- bellara is literally the best and most down to earth representation of a character with adhd i've ever seen. john epler deserved a reward for that i think i've never seen a character with adhd before where i genuinely related to them on a deeper level i adore how emotional regulation and memory impairment and disorganization and CREATIVITY are actually shown in her depiction it's literally so perfect i need to kiss her on the lips
- on that note oh my god. east asian characters. finally.
- i just love neve idk
- unique dwarf interactivity oh my god fucking finally thank you for this i've been starving for so fucking long bro
- davrin is in my top 5 dragon age characters just in general. grey warden ✅ dalish hunter except the writers finally remembered "hunter" doesn't literally mean a food hunter its just how the dalish refer to their non-magic combatants ✅ griffon plotline finally resolved ✅ best romance in the game ✅ hrghgbgh breasts ✅
- personal issues with the modernization of their story aside i genuinely adored taash's gender discovery and the dinner scene with their mother was actually one of my favorite character moments of the game
- mythals voice actress just scratched a brain itch for me idk i just love how she talks
- the climax of harding's quest genuinely went hard as fuck holy shit
- siege of weisshaupt is and will forever be top 5 dragon age missions of all time
- on that note i was actually really pleasantly surprised by the depictions of the grey wardens. i feel like recent installments have been leaning so hard on the "brutal pragmatists" depiction of the wardens that it became easy to forget that at their core they're still. like. heroes. i did appreciate the game going out of its way to show BOTH their good sides and dark sides.
- emmrich's quest is a guilty pleasure i love how campy it is. hezenkoss' little finger gun was so fun
- the dream sequences with solas were definitely highlights of the game. despite common criticisms i think i actually liked how solas' portrayal leaned more towards his shady side. the way inquisition is more of his "wisdom" side while veilguard is more of "his pride" side was a nice experience

imagine you and art studying together, and he was too distracted with his games to actually do the homework so he teases you and acts all innocent when he’s really trying to get those homework awnsers out of you…
(sorry i’m not best at explaining i hope this made sense)
YUPPPPP
since he earned a scholarship from playing tennis, it's hard for art to focus on academics, when it's not really what he's in school for!
he tries hard in the first semester of his freshman year.. but then he kind of gives up and coasts on his successful career as a college tennis player. finally his coach makes him get a tutor; you.
art needs the most help in math, because he has such a hard time paying attention. the first time you meet, he seems like the classic jock, not pressured like anyone else to actually try hard at school. for the first few tutoring sessions art just sits there on his phone, humming in response whenever you answer a problem on his homework, or teasing you about being such a "nerd". you roll your eyes, pretty much fed up with doing his homework every day while he just sits and plays stupid games on his phone. you decide to finally say something.
"you know i don't have to do this for you, right? it's frustrating when im literally doing your work for you and you never even do as much as say thank you." art looks up from his phone, initially having a look of surprise on his face, but quickly covering it up with a pout. "im really, really sorry.. its just.. ive been so tired after tennis, and i have so much practice that i barely sleep.." he almost has a whine in his voice, "im really sorry.. it's just.. i don't even think i can do all the stuff that you do, you're so smart.." he looks up at you with those baby blue eyes and you can't help but feel sorry for him. "art.. you're smart, for real. if you just applied yourself to the work you'd be as good as i am in no time.." he nods slowly, putting down his phone. "i guess you're right.. let me make it up to you though, can i buy you dinner or something?" art looks at you earnestly, eyes searching yours for any hints of you giving in. you sigh, "okay.. sure, only if you promise to actually do your work once and a while." art nods happily and crosses his fingers behind his back, "oh of course i will"
you both get up and leave, art satisfied that you're now under his little spell <3

Hi! Can I make a request of THH girls with a ultimate prodigy girlfriend reader that have passion for learning new things (and learns anything at the first try)?
Thank you for reading my request :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
thh!danganronpa girls x fem!girlfriend!reader ⇁
request? yes setup: thh girls with an ultimate prodigy girlfriend ! genre < fluff, typical junko things, cheesy nicknames nd shit, tiny spoilers in kyoko's part
note: thank you sm for the request! sorry if its a bit ooc it has been a while since ive played the games and i tried my best to do what u wanted so hopefully i got it right <3 also this is just a middle post im still working on dream about me dw
below the cut!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
SAYAKA MAIZONO !
⃗ would be super impressed. initially maybe a little intimidated wondering how she could be perfect for someone like you
⃗ after the initial stage of shock, she would be quite intrigued and would never pass up an opportunity to hear you talk about it! literally the best listener. so used to being admired herself but now she's admiring you (she honestly already did even before she found out)
⃗ definitely the type of girlfriend to brag about you to others. like 'that's right. that's my girlfriend right there.' while smiling.
⃗ would always ask you to help her write her lyrics or just generally in her performances because of how much she admires and trusts you.
⃗ you would be writing something for her and she would just be looking at you with the MOST love drunk eyes ever
⃗ "you learned that instrument just by.. watching me.. once!? ..you're insane!" (lovingly)
⃗ always trying to be the best version of herself so she can be worthy of being your partner
❝ "how do you come up with these lyrics so fast?" sayaka asks, her eyes lighting up as she looks at you like you just pulled magic out of thin air. "and not just that... they sound amazing. you never fail to surprise me, you know that?" you glance up from the notebook, a small smile tugging at your lips as you meet her gaze. there's something about the way she says it—like she's genuinely in awe—that makes your chest feel a little warmer. "i guess it's easy when i'm writing for someone who inspires me," you say, closing the notebook gently. you lean in, just a little, your voice softer now. "anything for you." ❞
Tumblr media
CELESTIA LUDENBERG !
⃗ similar to sayaka, she is also extremely intrigued. admires you shamelessly.
⃗ finds it absolutely adorable how you're always so eager to learn something new. you never pass up an opportunity for something new and she loves it.
⃗ loves how smart you are. celestia's always trying to test you or challenge you because she loves to see you in action (and also maybe the face you make when you're concentrating that makes her heartbeat increase) and see just how smart you are.
⃗ finds your intelligence so hot. like she's like downnnn bad.
⃗ also loves to brag about you just not too openly. kind of like you're are her biggest trophy in the most loving way.
⃗ challenges you to poker and gets absolutely destroyed by you. ends with her trying her best to act unaffected (you're the only person she would allow to beat her. also because she secretly enjoys it)
⃗ her favorite thing to do, despite it being just a little bit cheesy, is to flirt with you in puzzles or riddles. knows that you would solve it in seconds and loves to watch you solve it only to find it be a stupid pickup line by her. you truly have got her stupid in love.
❝ rain patters softly outside as you sit across from celestia, the two of you tucked away in her candlelit room. she slides a folded note across the tea table, eyes twinkling. “a little something to keep you entertained, a mind excercise, if you may.” she says, voice smooth.
you open it and read: “i am always near you, though i cannot be touched. i grow louder the closer you get, and quiet when you’re away. what am i? ”
you look up, smiling. “your heart?” celeste’s expression softens — just for a moment. “correct,” she murmurs. “and just so you know, it's getting louder now too.” you laugh gently. “god you're so cheesy!” she lifts her teacup with a smirk. “only because i know you’ll always solve them.” ❞
Tumblr media
SAKURA OGAMI !
⃗ when she first finds out, she has like.. genuine respect. like so much respect for you cause that's amazing??
⃗ after all, she values discipline and dedication so it doesn't take much for you to impress her.
⃗ would act like you're asking her too many questions in the beginning but would love when you ask her about martial arts. loves your curiosity. like a lot.
⃗ whenever she's teaching you something and you grasp it so easily in one try? practically awe struck. it's a sight for sure to just see her looking at you so amazed and quickly collecting herself when you ask her about it.
⃗ also loves to listen to you talk. not too verbal but is willing to spend the rest of her life just listening to you talk. loves your voice and also loves just watching the passion in your eyes and in your voice when you talk.
⃗ you can do the same thing everyday and you would still never fail to amaze her every. single. time.
⃗ you keep eachother grounded. in an ironic way, you are kind of sakura's person to look up to (even though technically.. you look up to her... yk.. with the height difference lol)
❝ you flip through a book you found as you sit in the garden, waiting for sakura to come back. that's when you see her approaching you from the corner of your eye. “you are always learning,” she said softly, kneeling beside you.
you grinned. “you always say strength needs refinement. soo.. i refine my brain.” you say and watch as sakura gives you the smallest, warmest smile—one only you ever got to see. “then let me help you refine your body,” she offered, reaching out a hand to pull you up gently. “mind and strength, together—they are unstoppable.” you took her hand, standing easily with her help, repeating her words. “unbreakable and unstoppable,” you echoed, lacing your fingers with hers. ❞
Tumblr media
KYOKO KIRIGIRI !
⃗ literal power couple. like you both are made for each other. ultimate detective and ultimate prodigy together? match made in heaven.
⃗ loves how analytical you can be, sometimes even more than her which means she always appreciate your help. often asks for it herself too.
⃗ you often try to predict plot twists or make deductions before she can even say them herself which she finds quite endearing.
⃗ always ends up admiring you instead of focusing on the case when you're with her, catching herself staring at you with the corners of her lips curving up just a little. mentally slaps herself for it and tries to not work around you sometimes due to the fact she always gets distracted by you in the best way. (ends up calling you there anyways cause you are her motivation in a way)
⃗ you both test each other and keep each other in check, growing together.
⃗ whenever she gives you premises of a case and you immediately understand without her having to tell you once again? she just fell harder in love.
⃗ her favorite thing is to have you lay your head in her lap while you're reading a book. just loves watching the subtle reactions on your face as she plays with your hair or clothes.
⃗ also loves it the other way around. your lap is her favorite pillow no questions asked.
❝ kyoko walked into the room, her eyes softening as they land on you as you stand there, going through the case files she had left. “you’ve been here for hours,” she said, voice low and even.
you glanced up, smirk widening. “these are fascinating. especially the second one—there was a clue in the handwriting. you missed it.” she raised an eyebrow, approaching. “did i?”
you turned the file toward her, tapping a line. “see? the slant. it's different from the rest. someone forged this entry.” kyoko stared at it for a moment, then smiled—just a flicker of it, subtle and rare. “you're always three steps ahead.”
���maybe,” you said, leaning back. “or maybe.. we just make a good team.”
she looked at you, nodding as the corners of her lips curled upwards. "we do, don't we?" ❞
Tumblr media
AOI ASAHINA !
⃗ often finds herself extremely lost or confused when you speak. but one thing that's always there is the admiration in her eyes.
⃗ you're some otherwordly person for her. like you are literally her idol. you both are eachother's idols. she can never wrap her head around how you can be this smart. like how is it possible!?
⃗ even if she finds herself confused when you talk about what you recently learned, she will always tries her best to understand a bit and listen to you, eager to learn from you.
⃗ similarly, LOVES to brag about you. like the number one person who brags about you. if she could, she would wear a nametag around her neck that read 'y/n's girlfriend' or 'my girlfriend is y/n' because of how insanely lucky she feels that someone as great as you loves her!? she isn't dumb, not at all, but compared to you!? she feels like she must have saved a city in her previous life.
⃗ "uh.. i'll ask my girlfriend and let you know. she would know!" "you don't know?? pfft, my girlfriend would know!" "shut up my girlfriend is smarter than you." "you should ask my girlfriend! she knows everything."
⃗ almost views it as a competition. "my girlfriend is better than you."
⃗ the people around her get sick of how much she brags about you and how you are somehow always brought up in the conversation, even if it's unrelated. but it's okay, you love her to death too.
⃗ still kicks her legs in happiness when she reminisces about that one time you both had a pastry in a bakery that she loved so much because then you went home and mastered the recipe and made it for her just by trying it once! still wonders how you did that.
⃗ when you learn her swimming workouts easily? she is of course, amazed but also frustrated how you learn something she struggled to learn so easily!?
⃗ acts like she's annoyed but truly she just falls deeper in love every time you do.
⃗ "if you weren't so cute, i would be mad you're better than me."
⃗ it makes her heartbeat 10x faster when you call her brilliant or compliment her because of course, you're her girlfriend and she blue screens with any compliment from you but also coming from the ultimate prodigy you are?! she wants your compliments engraved in her mind.
❝ “okay, okay—how the heck are you doing that already?!” aoi stared at you, wide-eyed and water-dripping, as you popped up from the pool with a smug little smile. just an hour ago, she’d offered to teach you how to do a perfect flip turn, and now here you were—executing it like an olympic swimmer.
you floated over, grinning. “I watched you do it. muscle memory, observation, physics of motion... you know the drill.” she narrowed her eyes, crossing her arms as she treaded water. “you’re some kind of swim sorcerer, that’s what you are.”
you laughed. “or maybe you’re just a really good teacher.” her cheeks flushed just a bit at what you said, and she splashed water at you to hide it. “flattery won’t save you. i barely teached you! you like.. watched me once!"
you smirked as you watched her jump into the water, cheeks flushed just a little. "okay! rematch. race. five laps, 'kay?” aoi said as she swam to you. ❞
Tumblr media
TOKO FUKAWA !
⃗ knowing toko, she was intimidated at first. even being convinced you would find her writing silly or juvenile. and due to her troublesome childhood, she would be quite wary and suspicious of you too, never really opening up.
⃗ but when you read her novels and give genuine, thoughtful feedback? oh, she’s hooked. it becomes a habit where she always asks you to proofread her novels before she takes the next step, trusting you more than herself even if she would never admit it.
⃗ also loves your confidence. she isn't too confident herself but when she sees you? and how smart you are? she feels confident too. you help her grow.
⃗ and her genocide jack side? yeah you aren't catching a second of calm.
⃗ insanely down bad. like celestia, your intelligence is so hot to toko.
⃗ genocide jack is obsessed with how smart you are. even obsessed is an understatement.
⃗ “ugh, a sexy brainiac? how am I supposed to compete with that level of hot???”
⃗ loves watching you in your element, especially when you geek out over something.
⃗ probably even gave you some stupid nickname like ultimate sexy smartass or something. you mentally slap yourself.
⃗ toko feels almost comforted by you. she finds herself being able to rely on you for anything because you always kind of knew the answer to everything. makes her feel assured in a way.
❝ "hey toko!" you chime in as you pull a seat next to her, sitting down and watching her scribble onto pages in her book. "wha—! don't just.. appear like that! you surprised me!" you watch as toko looks up, her pen almost flying out of her hand.
"oops, sorry! didn't mean to interrupt the next award winning novel." you say as you grin, watching toko's reaction. "you read it!?" she replies and you mentally prepare yourself for a lecture when she instead pauses before speaking again.
"..did you like it?" toko asks, looking at you expectedly.
you nodded, sliding one of her earlier pages across the table. "it’s brilliant. your imagery? the way you build tension? it’s like watching lightning gather in the clouds before a storm. you write like a genius.”
she blinked at you. once. twice. her skin flushing red from your words. how do you make her heartbeat increase like that.. so easily!? "..are you flirting with me?"
"is it working?" you say smiling. "y/n! i was trying to concentrate here you know—!" toko says, her tone annoyed but the soft smile that she was fighting didn't go unnoticed by you. ❞
Tumblr media
JUNKO ENOSHIMA !
⃗ obsessed with you. like insanely obsessed with you.
⃗ at first, she thinks it's such a boringg ultimate. pfft, ultimate prodigy? what even is that?
⃗ but then, when she watches you in action? watches you immediately master something in one try? she's gone for.
⃗ you're like one of the few people who can keep up with her stupid tactics and mind games. hell even counter them. and that drives her insane in the best way possible.
⃗ "and that's wh- junko? are you even listening to me!?" "you're so hot." "what the fuck!?"
⃗ thirsts over you 24/7. never knew she would find someone being intelligent this hot but here she is. never misses an opportunity to make a restraining order worthy comment about you.
⃗ jokes aside, she loves just how insane you are in that way. in brainrotted words, you match her freak immaculately.
⃗ also makes it her goal to test you and tease you whenever she can but she's never surprised when you beat her. she knew you would beat her. she has so much confidence in you it's insane.
⃗ even makes it her goal to find the most insane and twisted puzzles, knowing you would immediately solve it making her so excited.
⃗ does not care at all when you do something better than she can or beat her. hell, she wants you to beat her because she loves it. that's junko for you.
⃗ after you both started dating, she practically abandoned wikipedia or any help books. afterall, she has her own guide now. her hot guide who is her girlfriend.
⃗ literally calls you her hot wikipedia. no shame. zero shame.
⃗ "babeeee, i need your help with something!" "..again!?"
⃗ sometimes (most times) she would already understand something but would still ask you just because she loves watching you help her. freak. (cough)
❝ “i’ve thrown everything at you. despair speeches, manipulation, mind games,” she said, stretching the words out like taffy. “and you just sit there. all calm and genius-y and smug.” junko says, dragging out her words again as she leans back on the couch, acting annoyed. you smirk, laughing at her poor attempts and also her attempts to act like she's annoyed.
she groaned and flopped onto her back. “ugh. disgusting. i hate you. i wanna ruin you. i wanna kiss you.” you tilted your head. “in that order?”
she sat up sharply, pointing a perfectly manicured finger at you. “that right there! that’s what i mean! you don’t flinch. you don’t blush. you don’t even stutter.”
"technically, i am blushing. i'm just good at hiding it, unlike you." you say as you smirk, watching junko roll her eyes as she grinned too.
"anyways.. i meant what i said." "meant what?"
"i still wanna do what i said earlier, you know?" junko smirks as you throw a pillow at her. junko enoshima is going to be the death of you. and likewise you, her. ❞

Toya as your husband!
Writing style: hc's
Tumblr media
Before the ceremony!!
– Listen. He was so nervous about the wedding. He was scared of messing up. He'll need a lot of support and assurance that he will do fine... he wants everything to be perfect.
– He wanted a simple and casual ceremony, without extravagant decorations or place, only with the people you two are close with.
– Although, if you want a bigger ceremony with more people and with more extravagance, you two would find a bridge between the 2 ideas! He'll always listen to your opinions and comments <3
– He'll try to find the prettiest and best suit to the marriage. He will keep asking your opinion about them, because most importantly, you're his wife/husband <3
– If you need to, he will help you to find the prettiest dress/suit to yourself, always complimenting you and how you look, or how pretty you're in the vestment
– Bonus for a male reader!! He will try to find matching suits to both of you, suits that you two will love unconditionally. He would keep hugging you from behind and watching you two on the mirror, kissing your cheek~
In the ceremony!!
– He was SO. NERVOUS.
– When I mean he was nervous. He was. Nervous.
– The only two times in his life he was genuinely nervous was at RAD BLAST and now at your wedding.
– He wants everything to be perfect, every word, every speech. And it will be, because your husband is Toya.
– Before asking the words such as "I do", he made the most cheesy and loving speech he could ever. He practised it multiple times before the wedding. He didn't even need a paper to remember what to say. He took both of your hands and spoke with pure sincerity and love. Because you were his life, his everything, and wouldn't change you for nothing.
– He literally cried. After you both agreed to spend the rest of your lives beside each other, he held you close and cried.
– When the ceremonialist said "you can kiss the wife/husband", he took a strand of hair from your face and rubbed your cheek gently, kissing you in the lips with pure and innocent love.
– If you prefer, the same would happen, but you would do the same to Toya.
After the ceremony!!
– He still had to get used to the term "huband/wife", he couldn't believe he was that lucky to have you as his.
– You two change tasks. One day he makes breakfast (and it's really delicious), the other you do. When one washes the dishes, the other dries them. You were a team, and you always helped each other with house tasks.
– He will daily reassure you he loves you. At good mornings, good nights, before going to sleep, when waking up... every chance he gets, he spells these 3 affectionate words <3
– He will from times to times get you flowers or your favourite sweets. He doesn't need a celebrative date to show you how much he loves you, and he will never stop it!!
– He would NOT be ashamed of saying you're his husband/wife. He will always make sure to show people you're his, and if someone is staring at you, he will give them a death stare.
– Whenever you're struggling with work, he will be there to help you if you need and comfort you.
– He will want to have small sleepover nights with you to remember the times you two were best friends or used to date. He will play games with you, watch movies, shows, and he will always have an arm wrapped around you, even if he just puts a hand on your thigh, he wants to feel you're there.
– He's literally the perfect husband. Even though he struggles to show his feelings, he says or puts out every feeling he has for you. Making him spit some stuff out of nowhere, such as "you look pretty today" or "your eyes are beautiful, you know?"
– The best company to be around. Knows how to cook, bake, clean, do house tasks, and is the sweetest and most caring husband ever.
# Bonus!! If you're ever in pain, he will massage the place you're hurting. If you're a girl or a trans-boy, he will always spoil you in your period, give you a warm gel bag to your cramps, always give you medicine for pain, and buy your desires!
We all say in unison: Toya's the best boy ever!!!

is it too early to love you? - final part (7)
Tumblr media
(moodboard made by moi)
part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7
summary: reader and spencer meet in the afternoon like they’d promised to play chess and get coffee. everything is prefect and comfortable, even as reader gets brave enough to do something she felt sorry for not doing sooner. 
a/n: gang… i don’t wanna end this one… but idk what i should do past this part😭😭😭 but if yall want more just request smth cuz im obsessed with how this turned out🤓 ALSO ty for all the love you’re given this series, ive had a blast writing this (literally destroyed my sleep schedule i made because i go back to school in like four days or some bullshit) and it’s rlly awesome being a writer that makes fun little things that ppl end up loving!!!! so big ty to all of yall who’ve been reading 
————————————————————————
was this too much?
i stared at myself in the mirror as i adjusted the collar of my sweater with my fingers. 
i’m just going to see my best friend, so why am i dressing like this is a date? and why am i so nervous. 
it’s a good nervous. the kind that had an entire rabble of butterflies fluttering around my stomach.
it wasn’t fancy, just a casual outfit that he’d definitely never seen me in before. i would wear this on a date though. on an occasion like this one.
i stepped away from my reflection. it was 11:30 and it wouldn’t take me longer than ten minutes to get to the coffee shop but i got my shoes on anyway. it doesn’t hurt to be early. 
i left my apartment in a giddy rush. my feet were louder on the stairs than usual due to my quick pace. 
one of my neighbors who was walking inside gave me an amused smile. “what’re you getting up to today?” she asked. 
i directed my eyes towards her. “i’m going to see a friend.” my lips were pinned in a smile. 
she grinned widely. “is it that boy who’s always coming over? the handsome tall one with brown hair?” 
“maybe.” i nodded. 
she gave me a knowing look. “oh honey, are you sure he’s just a friend?”
i tried to hide the flush over my cheeks. “i’m sure.” 
“okay.” she nodded slowly like she wasn’t convinced. “i’ll know when he’s more than that.” 
i rolled my eyes and left the building, deciding to walk instead of drive. maybe it’ll help my energy levels. 
 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
i was cold by the time i got to the coffee shop. the autumn air was motionless apart from when cars would drive past me on the street, and the chill bit at my face and hands, even though i had them hidden in the sleeves of my sweater. it was bearable though. 
“welcome in!” 
the cheerful voice of a barista behind the counter mingled with the bell above the door and the chatter of customers placed across the establishment. it was warm inside and it smelled like coffee, for obvious reasons. 
“hey.” a familiar voice sounded behind me. i turned around to look at spencer while he closed the shop door behind himself. 
“hi.” i smiled. 
“have you been here long?” he wondered. 
i shook my head and freed my hands from my sleeves. “no. i got here a minute or two ago…” spencer’s hand on my face had me trailing off. his fingers moved some of my hair away from my eyes.
“did you walk?” his brows were pinched together, more so as i nodded. “it’s cold out.” 
i smiled. he’s too sweet. “i’m okay. it’s not that bad.” i promised him through the tone of my voice and the look i gave him through my lashes. 
he smiled softly with a nod. “good.” 
“we still have a chess game to go play, so you better not let the temperature get to you.” my hand reached out to gently clamp around his wrist so i could pull him after me into the short line so we could get our coffees and then walk to the park. 
“can i try yours?” i asked while walking down the sidewalk, outside again. i gestured to his coffee by tapping the side of it with my index finger. our arms brushed as we walked. 
spencer hummed a ‘yes’ as he handed off his cup to me. 
i excitedly took his cup and sipped from it, cautiously because i’ve heard morgan say that it would put him in a coma if he had more than a sip of it after mixing up an order. this happened years ago but morgan still talks about it.
he was right because when the drink hit my tongue i closed my eyes, pulling a face at how sweet it was. “jesus!”
spencer’s sweet laughter swirled inside my head. he gently took his cup back. “too sweet?” 
i nodded quickly. “yeah. how do you drink that everyday?” i sipped my own coffee to try and get rid of the sugar that still lingered on my tongue. 
when we kissed he tasted like that.
he shrugged. “i don’t know, I’m just used to it i guess.”
our arms brushed again because i can’t walk in a straight line but he didn’t seem to mind. “what did you get?” he quizzed. 
i read the barista’s handwriting on the side of the cup. it was what i got whenever i went to a coffee shop but i still liked to get my answer right. “a half dark half white chocolate mocha with caramel. i got a double shot of espresso today so… we’ll see how that plays out.” my eyes trailed up to his face while we stopped at the crosswalk across from the park. he glanced down at me, eyes all content. his pupils were blown wide which made it hard to see the brown of his eyes. 
“don’t get a caffeine rush on me.” spencer told me. “i might not be able to handle you.” 
i scoffed with a squint of my eyes. “please, you’re able to handle me no matter what.” 
he agreed with me. 
while we were stepping away from the safety of the sidewalk i mindlessly grabbed spencer’s hand. it was just a habit i’ve always had. an instinct to reach out and hold onto whoever i was with while crossing the street. 
when we reached the other side i quickly released his hand. i met his eyes with my own. “sorry. force of habit.” i smiled shyly. 
spencer smiled back. “it’s okay.” 
he found an empty table to play chess at, which was the only one that wasn’t occupied. i never knew people favored playing chess in a park so much until now.
i sat down on a stone chair on one side of the board while spencer sat across from me, pulling a box of chess pieces out of his bag. i watched him slide the white colored pieces over to me. “do you just carry those around all the time?” i wondered while placing all the pieces in the correct places. 
“yeah.” he nodded. 
i smiled. “you have a marry poppins bag.” 
“i love marry poppins.” spencer hummed. 
i laughed quietly in endearment. he’s really pretty today. 
“okay,” i put my hands flush against one another and rubbed them together. “prepare to loose.” i slid one piece forward.
spencer shook his head. “in your dreams.” he moved a piece. 
i watched him and processed a few things i could do before moving. 
we went back and forth in silence for a few minutes before i looked up at him. he was looking at the board with furrowed brows. “when did you learn to play?” 
spencer moved a piece before answering. “when i was a kid. me and my mom would play a lot.” he focused on my lips for a moment before shifting to my eyes. he smiled almost timidly. 
i stole one of his pieces with my next move. it was held between my fingers beside my face. “gotcha.” i whispered. 
he took a piece of mine and mirrored me. “you were saying?”
i frowned. “you’re mean.” i moved again.
“this is all part of the game.” he laughed as we kept playing. 
i rested my head in my hand and stared at the pieces in thought. i moved another piece over the board before taking a quick sip of coffee. 
the park was nice today. there were a lot of people walking or sitting or playing chess like us. it was comfortable. i don’t know why i haven’t come here as much. 
spencer’s hair fell over his face when a light breeze blew through the park and i wanted to reach out and brush it out of his eyes. 
i don’t remember moving my arms to do so, but i leaned across the small table and did so anyway. spencer didn’t take his eyes off of mine, not while i was moving his hair with my fingertips on his skin, and not when his hand mirroring mine took the one in his hair in his own. he intertwined our fingers and i thought i was dreaming as he moved so our elbows were propping our joined hands over the board. 
he nonchalantly went back to the game, taking one of my pieces. “your move.” he squeezed my hand to snap me out of my trance the physical contact put me in. 
i nodded, pursing my lips. “right.” i felt like there was more attention on me and it made my focus dwindle. i still moved a piece that spencer took after a few moves, but he smoothed his thumb over the small extent of my hand he could touch. 
i smiled suddenly as i took a piece of his. “while i was leaving my building my neighbor asked me where i was going. when i told her i was seeing a friend she asked ‘the handsome tall one with brown hair’ and i thought that was such an accurate description of you.” i sipped more of my coffee. being outside had cooled it down significantly. 
spencer squeezed my hand that i was convinced he wasn’t ever going to let go. i met his eyes. “you think i’m…” he trailed off momentarily while he moved another piece. “tall?” he asked, that stupid but addicting smile slipped onto his lips. 
i scoffed, mouth open in an amused smile. “yes, yes i do.” i nodded with a laugh. “all 6’1 of you.” 
spencer’s eyes were so soft on mine. they were just full of adoration and endearment. i didn’t have a problem with getting lost in them. i’d get more lost just in his company every day. 
“you’re so beautiful…” his voice was so quiet i wouldn’t have caught what he’d said if i wasn’t looking at him. i read his lips in slow motion. 
“thank you.” 
we played the rest of the game in silence and secret glances. spencer won which didn’t surprise me. he told me i was good though, and that must mean i’m really good if its coming from him. 
spencer let go of my hand so that we could put the pieces away. my hand got cold immediately. i worked quickly to group the colors of pieces and slide them over to him. 
when we left the table, people immediately occupied it. i laughed slightly. 
“is there this many people here often?” i asked, my hand brushing his as we walked. 
he slowly interlaced our fingers again, being casual with it. “this isn’t the busiest it’s been.” he replied. i nodded, looking down at our joined hands. 
my feet stopped moving across the sidewalk and spencer stopped with me. “you okay?” 
i looked up at him, searching his eyes for what he must have searched mine for when he’d first kissed me. 
i wanted to kiss him. 
i can’t deny that anymore. 
so in the middle of the park in the afternoon i did just that. i stood on my toes and kissed him. my chest pressed against his and i swear i could feel his quickened heartbeat while our lips gently pressed together. 
spencer dropped my hand to cradle my face, meaning i couldn’t pull away so soon. and i was just fine with that. 
i slid my hand around his waist to his back. my palms pressed flat into him, making a soft hum pass from him to me. 
when we did pull away for breath, spencer whispered, “it’s not too early to love me.” his forehead pressed against mine. 
i smiled. “you heard me that night?”
“yeah.” he nodded subtly. “and i’ve played it over and over again in my head.” 
i smiled, tilting my head to kiss him once. “it sounds like you love me.” i ran my hands down his back. 
“i do.” he whispered. “i really do.” 
my head rested on his chest as i hugged him closer. his arms wrapped around me in an instant. “i’m sorry i made you wait for me.” i muttered. 
“i’d wait for you no matter what.” spencer replied, kissing the top of my head. 
i smiled in content, breathing in his scent that was like a muscle relaxant. everyone and everything around me and him just faded away. 
until both of us got a phone call. 
i frowned and dug into my pocket to answer the same time as spencer. 
“hello?” 
“hello my lovely, we have a case and need you here ASAP.” penelope’s cheerful voice filled my ear. i sighed and looked up at spencer as he gave me the same look. 
i nodded. “okay. we’ll start heading over.” 
“who’s ‘we’?” penelope asked. 
“me and spencer.” i replied, not really caring if she freaks out because it’s worth it for him. 
she squealed over the line. spencer had already hung up and was waiting for me. “that’s so adorable. okay, get here quick, hotch is looking at me impatiently.”
“okay. see you soon.” 
“bye!”
i shoved my phone back into my pocket. “there goes the weekend.” i took spencer’s hand as we walked to where his car was parked. 
“i’m glad we got to do this.” he told me. i smiled, running my thumb against his hand. 
“me too.” i agreed. 
spencer stopped in the middle of the sidewalk to kiss me once. i giggled with my eyes closed. “what was that for?” i wondered. 
“just to make sure this is real.” he replied. 
i stood on my toes to kiss him again. “it is.” 
he kissed me one more time, which resulted in some guy telling us to ‘get a room’ to which i started laughing, head leaned back. 
spencer started dragging me to his car with that, we were in the safety of it when he kissed me one last time. 
“the team is waiting.” i reminded him. 
his eyes went wide. “i forgot.” he chuckled softly. 
 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
when we made it to the roundtable room morgan whistled at us. “about time.” 
i smiled awkwardly and sat down, spencer following right beside me. “sorry. my car wouldn’t start.” i lied. 
“ah yes, so you repaid pretty boy with a kiss?” 
i whipped my head towards spencer and noticed a mark from the tinted chapstick i was wearing on his lips. i discretely used my fingers to wipe away any color that escaped my lips. “that’s not from me that’s from… a random girl on the street.” i avoided everyone’s eyes while attempting not to smile. “she thought he was handsome.” 
the whole team exchanged a series of unconvinced looks. hotch was the first to speak. “start the brief garcia.” 
with that she got started, talking about the new case full of gruesome details that i only heard half of. i was too distracted by the way spencer grabbed my hand under the table and squeezed it to assure we were okay. 
the team definitely didn’t believe any of what i’d just said but it didn’t really matter. neither of us cared. 
it definitely wasn’t too early to love him.

Tumblr media
looking at the switch 2 ui. filled with dread its same-y, but i do wanna make a post about the changes cuz there are some!
first off, the icons are more rounded. i LOVE this change, almost makes them feel like wii channels if i lie to myself
theres a bar with the lower little icons which is nice looking! also, selected icons now have a blue / purple / pink ring around them!
but also.. the news icon is gone???
Tumblr media
from the switch 1 ui. the little news where u could read about recent nintendo updates. it was slow at actually updating. maybe its been replaced by nintendo today (WHICH I MUCH PREFER) but if thats the case i hope they put nintendo today on the switch 2
the brand new icons.. are intriguing to me
the eshop is now red instead of orange
to the left and right of the joycon, we have the new digital game card feature + what ive seen people say is the game share feature like ds download play
but finally... between the chat and eshop buttons, theres a green paper icon
this is so intriguing to me because my mind immediately jumps to just
Tumblr media
COULD U IMAGINE IF WE GOT TO SEE NIKKI AGAIN ID LITERALLY CRY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (and give us nintendo badge arcade 2 while ur at it!!!!)
realistically i think at best itll just be a notes feature for writing notes about a game, but still!! huh
but the fact the news icon is gone has me curious if thisll be some sorta replacement?
whatever it is, its New and nintendo hasnt told us about it yet so i am really really really curious and hope nintendo today tells us soon

ive fuckingggg HAD IT . i am going to talk about gegg qsmp because idk why but charlie slimecicle made one of the best representations of age regression ive seen in media and i am NOT joking.
so i dont rlly post alot about the qsmp on my blog, thus i wouldn't be surprised if this post goes unnoticed or ignored by a vast majority of my friends & followers. for those of you who ARE reading this with no prior experience with the QSMP lemme just quickly summarize some much needed background knowledge.
(Quackity Voice) The QSMP Is The Worlds First Multi-lingual Minecraft Server; it hosts a wide variety of twitch streamers who speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. the beginning plotline of the server (which is where Gegg came into existence) follows the various players as they are grouped into pairs to care for a dragon egg. The main ones that will be talked about today are Tilin, Quackity's egg, and Juanaflippa, Slimecicle & ElMariana's egg. The eggs are, of course, played by anonymous admins, who have given these eggs their own unique personalitys despite only communicating through signs and emotes. The players have quickly imprinted on their respective eggs, as expected, and have gone on to view these eggs as their own children. The rules were simple - each egg had two lives and two lives ONLY. each day the eggs have tasks for the streamers to complete ON STREAM or else the egg could die of starvation & neglect (points at Trump, Maximus & DanTDM's egg).
i will be referring to Slimecicles character in the QSMP as Charlie or Slime for better coherency. from now on i will be referring to the characters, not the streamers.
Slimecicle and Mariana were not the best parents to Juanaflippa, but it was clear that they truly and deeply cared for their daughter. They supported her transition and, especially in Slimes case, did everything they could to make sure their daughter was safe. Juanaflippa had lost her second life due to an accident, which caused Slime to loose his shit and go on a murderous rampage to try and get the literal Minecraft Jesus Christ of Nazareth to come back and revive his daughter (she came back after a court case. long story.)
Basically Juanaflippa was loved, and she loved her parents back- but there was someone else she cared for the most in the whole wide world
Tilin, who Slime offered to take care of once her father had to log off game. There was another accident, and Tilin was caught in the crossfire between Charlie and a few mobs at night. She was on her second life, meaning that Charlie had officially ended his daughters best friend right infront of her eyes. Distraught and ashamed, Charlie ran off into self-isolation and left Juanaflippa in the care of Mariana and their friend Roier. During his "Eggxile" while he was trying to find a way to bring back Tilin, Charlie learnt that Mariana killed Juanaflippa AGAIN. Instead of going on another tirade Charlie just lost it.
He's now carrying the deaths of two children on his mind, isolating himself from what little friends he had on the main island. During his initial stay on the island there were only English and Spanish players, but when the French and Brazilian players arrived he still spent a majority of his time in isolation. Charlie wasn't apart of a good chunk of the main island lore for a long, long time, and pretty soon it began to feel like he was completely, and utterly, alone. He attended a wedding and a few parties, but it was visible how outcasted he was from all the new events and connections. He had regular breakdowns and pretty soon began to believe that Juanaflippa wasn't dead, she was just... somewhere else. He was gonna get her back. He did it once, he'll do it again. Fuck, he couldn't even bring himself to attend her own funeral, and even when he was allowed one final goodbye with his dead daughter Charlie still refused to accept the fact that Juanaflippa was never gonna come back home. He built a campfire on the beach of his Eggxile house with three chairs- one for him, one for his wife (who hadn't logged on in months), and one for Flippa.
TL;DR q!slime is going the fuck through it.
Later on Quackity decided to get Charlie in on a plan to try and steal from other peoples houses. They both lost their families, so it seemed only fair to Quackity that they ruin other people's lives as well. Basically Charlie had to pretend to be Quackity's NEW egg so that he can get close with the other eggs and fuck shit up.
Charlie liked it. Charlie... REALLY liked it, actually. His egg name was Gegg, and without knowing it he began to age regress.
Im calling Gegg a form of Age Regression because not only is Charlie mentally AND physically becoming a child, but through Gegg Charlie is allowed the freedom to escape his grief and explore what it means to be a "child" who was loved unconditionally. On the last Gegg stream Slime referred to the little goopy guy as something that lives inside of him. Gegg takes over him and he just looses himself in the act. He's not just playing a character called Gegg, he IS Gegg.
In the very first stream as Gegg he expressed his desire to learn what having a family was like- a common reason most people have for regressing. When "regressed" to this state Charlie/Gegg is constantly acting as a young child and actually enjoys it! He LOVED being Gegg! Even if it got too far in the end, Gegg was allowed to be open about his wants & emotions. Charlie was pushed back into the lives of the other players and fully reconnected with several people again for the first time since his self-imposed isolation. He gained new friends, too, once Gegg was introduced to the Brazilian and French players.
In turn the players never made any effort to expose Charlie's regression. while at the beginning there was some distrust & confusion over Charlie's sudden egg act it never went farther then a few subtle jokes at Geggs "true" identity (commenting on his backflips, which is something Charlie was known for). Aside from Wilbur, everybody treated Gegg as any other egg-child. He was cared for, his tasks would be completed on occasion, and the French+Brazilian players ESPECIALLY loved him! They supported Charlie's regression since at this point they began to realize how much shit he has been through since the deaths of Tilin and Flippa. Not only that, but the eggs as well played along with Gegg's coping mechanism; Leonarda (FoolishGamers + Vegetta777's egg) was one of the first to try and adopt Gegg as their own baby, while Chayanne (Philza+MissaSinfonia's egg) & Tallulah (Wilbur Soot's egg) acted as his "Geggsiblings" (even though Tallulah sorta got a bit rude to him during their second encounter, im guessing due to a new admin who wasn't around during Tallulah & Gegg's first interaction),
Infact, one of the best scenes of the Gegg Arc was during an interaction between Gegg & Bobby. Bobby was Roier & JaidenAnimation's egg, and he was also close to Juanaflippa & Tilin. The two kids talked through signs, where Bobby confessed that he held a grudge against Slime for what he did. Gegg said that he had every right to be upset, the poor boy had lost two of his closest friends after all. But then Bobby did something that shocked Charlie- he forgave him. he told Gegg to tell that "green guy" that he shouldn't be hard on himself anymore, both of them needed to move on already. Not only was Bobby a child, but he was one of the main eggs Quackity wanted Gegg to kill off first. Bobby was the reason why Gegg existed, the reason why Charlie was given the chance to heal from his trauma, and now he is telling Charlie to his face that its ok to forgive himself for the deaths of Tilin and Flippa.
Bobby knows who Gegg is, everybody does, which is why they treat Gegg with the same amount of love that every other egg gets.
Age Regression has frequently been misunderstood, and very rarely does it get the proper representation that it deserves. It is a very "taboo" form of coping, which is unfortunate due to how common it actually is. Most people feel uncomfortable with the image of grown adults acting as toddlers in diapers, and lump it together with the whole Age Play/DDLG ordeal- yet they fail to take into account what age regressors are ACTUALLY like. while it is something that just about anyone can do, the type of regression I will be talking about stems from people who seek refuge from traumatic events usually in their childhood. It can be voluntary or involuntary, and is a way for people to explore & reevaluate what it means to be a child. it is just that- a trauma response, one that im sure many of you participate in but are too scared to discuss it due to the stigma around it. Children who have experienced abuse regress, Teenagers who struggle with mental health regress, Adults with severe PTSD regress, and yet it is such a misunderstood part of the healing process that is practically unaccounted for in media. There is little to nothing on age regression representation that delivers it in a respectful, honest manner, due to this stigma, which only serves to push it further into the shadows of mental health discourse.
So to see age regression be used on a fucking minecraft server of all places in such a healthy light is so refreshing to see. While ironic at first, Charlie showcased age regression as something that shouldn't be shunned. It actively aided him through a dark period in his life and showed that he deserves a second chance. After Gegg canonically "died" Charlie returned to the island for his birthday and was finally ready to move on from Flippa & Tilins death (and then, yakno, the whole Codeflippa Arc happened)
TL;DR #2 Charlie Slimecicle's Character In The QSMP Age Regresses As A Way To Cope From The Deaths Of Two Eggs & Oh My God It Was Actually Really Fucking Emotional
