exists

i want to be elegant, i want to be classy, but the gay in me wont let me, the pretty colors, the layers, the fancy, And then the corvid, the rat and the cat fight to collect every little shiny, dead, crunchy thing, every broken nail polish, every coin, and earring, and skull and bones,. I want to look put together, to look like every other person, but the fae in me wants to dance,to sing, to jump and climb and sit on the floor, and indulge in every little affection i can get and receive. I want to be simple, minimal, and yet the possibilities, the subcultures, the colors are so many to explore to be forced to be simple. Gosh how can they see all those and not shake and want and grab with their hands, how could they hate and hate and hate. Look at them, LOOK LOOK LOOK, its human, its beautiful and its so wonderful

❝  i don’t like the way they keep staring at you.   ❞ //Maxim

@nvrcmplt

JEALOUS, FIERCLY PROTECTIVE & TERRITORIAL PROMPTS (always accepting)

He licked his finger while he was finishing that large cup of ice cream he had ordered for dessert. He liked to go out with Maxim, doing normal things like normal people would do, pretending they weren’t mass killers, hackers, body cleaners, or money laundry people. Yet, he wasn’t really sure why Maxim seemed so upset; he didn’t have pranked him with a vegetarian meal like last time, but he was far less happier than when they had started to dine together. For Gambit, it was a sign; times of drama and despair were coming ahead. He dropped his spoon inside the glass cup and stiffened. 

“You’re breaking up with me.” He said with a dramatic tone, eyeing Maxim with a profound sadness. “You have barely touched your pavlova, and it’s been ten minutes, you’re muted. Bony, I know something is wrong!” Gambit felt his heart squeezed within his chest, all those negative emotions like a dozen knives cutting his flesh and bones. “I knew I should have done something with the Vicente contract. I wish I had worked better, but I couldn’t find those bank accounts in time and…” Gambit caved in and grabbed Maxim’s fingers, until the Russian would dare to look at him again. 

“I can be a better man, so please, could you give me a chance? I can make it better. I can find more corpses for your experiences… Please?” But instead of hearing something that he had anticipated during his entire monologue, Maxim eventually intertwined their knuckles and explained what was bothering him. A group of people were staring at them, probably amused by the clashing aesthetics and their strange appearances. Plus, they had been nothing but lovey-dovey during the entire dinner, and it seemed it had been an amusing show for a few immature people. 

Gambit felt a wave of reassuring feelings crossing his entire body, while he oozed with comfort. He clenched his hand harder. “We can kill them.” He wasn’t thinking straight, but from the sudden rush of paranoia and fear that he had experienced, and the potential loss of his boyfriend, he was clearly in another kind of mood. “We set a trap in the parking lot, we take one them to teach them a lesson and then you can have fun with the body. I loved it so much when you cut out those lungs from that man’s back the other day. It was poetic.” He sighed in relief and brought Maxim’s hand to his mouth. 

“I want to pay cash for this dinner. And if you're not in the mood for some old-fashioned hunting, then we can perhaps pomp up those figures on your bank account, and then…” He paused and rubbed his cheek against his palm. “I want to have sex with you.”

A teeny very short non canon tidbit of them hooking up based on the above stuff, mostly just them making out

CW: sexual content

Maxim had pinned VR-LA to his office door as they kissed, their bodies pressed together enough to let him feel VR-LA's rapid heartbeat against his chest. He trailed his hands down VR-LA's sides, finding the edge of his sweater, dipping his hands beneath to feel the bare skin there. VR-LA let out a slightly stuttery breath at the feeling of his slightly cold hands, face flushing further than it already had.

Maxim dipped his head down slightly to kiss VR-LA's neck, each one quick and light, VR-LA's head tilting back for him. Maxim slid his hands back down, out from under his sweater and over his hips, down to his thighs, gently squeezing them. VR-LA's hands were over his chest, fidgeting with the highest button for a moment before actually undoing it.

Maxim tried not to chuckle at the nervous fidgetting or the way VR-LA's gaze swept over him with a heat normally not reserved for him. Maxim pressed another kiss to VR-LA's lips, interrupting his attempts at undressing Maxim for just a moment longer. He wanted to savor VR-LA's lips for just a moment longer.

Crime Maxim and his fantasies

CW: sexual content, brief mention of blood

Maxim's mind wasn't on his work today as he stared down at his desk, pen poised in his so as to appear he was merely reading intensely and about to write. His mind was instead on VR-LA, on the sight he had accidentally glimpsed after another of his underlings had mistakenly gotten blood on him that morning. VR-LA had gone to change, to get the shirt disposed of for safety, and Maxim had accidentally stepped into his office at the time.

VR-LA was quick to forgive, especially since Maxim saw so little. However, Maxim doubted VR-LA would be as forgiving of the thoughts currently fogging his mind. The thoughts of tracing his hands up and down his sides, of peppering his stomach his kisses and feeling his fluttering breath. VR-LA often wore older clothes, ones too tight due to gaining some weight as his was able to get more of what he needed, which left very little to the imagination.

Maxim imagined holding VR-LA's thighs, seeing how VR-LA's face flushed as he was made to straddle Maxim. He imagined VR-LA laying naked in his bed, head against his pillow, hands held above his head gently. VR-LA deserved the best, it only made sense to try to give him the best experience too.

Maxim's door was knocked on, and so he shook his head and started writing. "Who is it?" He called.

hello and welcome to the Rollo Torment Nexus, designed to impart the absolute worst academic experience to everyone's favorite deranged church boy.

rationale:

1. Rollo has to be surrounded. There is no easy way out short of vaulting over the desk, and we all know he's not gonna do that while class is in session.

2. Floyd "Malicious Noncompliance" Leech has to be sitting directly next to Rollo. This should be self-explanatory. Whether he's actively doing something annoying or just taking notes in sloppy handwriting while wrinkling tf out of his notebook pages, his presence will be enough to test Rollo's patience.

3. Someone Floyd loves to annoy and/or talk to needs to be sitting on Rollo's other side. I've chosen Ace for this example, but Jade, Kalim, Grim, and Lilia would also work. Jamil would also be a good choice, as he would likely find a way to redirect Floyd's attention onto Rollo.

Riddle and Azul also have potential, but there's a solid chance they would take their lessons too seriously & ignore Floyd to the point he stops trying to get their attention. This would result in him being less annoying to Rollo, which is antithetical to the point of the Rollo Torment Nexus.

4. Malleus, naturally, has to be present. Though having him sit directly next to Rollo would be funny enough on its own, having him sit behind Rollo is the advanced play here. After all, if Malleus is within view, Rollo can keep an eye on him, thus keeping his own paranoia at bay. If Malleus is looming ominously behind (& above) him, Rollo has no way of staying watchful without blatantly ignoring the lesson/letting Malleus know he's wary. This would vex Rollo to no end, AND Malleus would find it funny.

5. Now, I know what you're thinking. Why Ruggie? Why not Idia or Azul, since Rollo would be more cautious of them?

Like Jamil & everyone else present for the Glorious Masquerade misadventure, Ruggie doesn't like Rollo. He's also one of the wilier students at NRC, meaning he wouldn't think twice about getting a little revenge at no cost to him.

Ruggie and Floyd are chill, but not overly involved with each other; further, Ruggie's physical presence in the classroom isn't particularly unusual, unlike how Idia's would be. Both of these points minimize the chance of Floyd abandoning his "talk across Rollo" endeavors to chat with Ruggie instead, meaning Floyd will spend longer maximally annoying Rollo.

Ruggie and Malleus get along pretty well! Even with Malleus' lack of Normal Person Social Skills™, it wouldn't be hard for the two of them to strike up a conversation – which would result in Rollo having to hear and be acutely aware of Malleus' presence behind him the whole time.

Ruggie would 100% start talking quietly to Malleus, just loud enough for Rollo to kinda-sorta hear, JUST to get on Rollo's nerves. Like–

Ruggie: "Hey, Malleus, how're you doing today?" Malleus: "I'm doing well. Why do you ask?" Ruggie: "No reason, really. Just, y'know...it'd be funny if Rollo thought we were plotting something right behind him." Malleus: "Oh that's brilliant. Let us continue, then."

i love how you break down rpgs and i really wanna try some indie ones, but i really like crunchy mechanics i can sink my teeth into and find that a lot of the popular ones tend to be very rules light (thats not a bad thing! its just not my thing). do you know of some crunchier ones?

It depends on what kind of crunch you're looking for. Indie games tend not to be maximally crunchy in every sphere of activity the rules choose to address in the same way that big names like Dungeons & Dragons or GURPS are because they don't have the ability to throw large teams at the task of designing and writing them, so the rules-heavy ones are typically heavy in one particular area.

For example, Sarah Newton's transhuman space opera game Mindjammer is a Fate Core derivative, so its conflict resolution is fairly light, but it has one of the most baroque character creation systems I have ever seen in a published game – and I'm including shit like HERO 6th Edition when I make that assessment. Everything from a baseline human to a sapient starship to an entire planetary culture can be represented as a character with a character sheet, and you can at least hypothetically play as any of those things.

Conversely, Erika Chappell's flying-ace drama Flying Circus is an Apocalypse Engine game, and outside of aerial combat it plays roughly as you'd expect, with a handful of lightweight player-facing moves and a whole four stats to remember, but then you get into an aerial dogfight and your combat tracker sheet looks like this:

So it's really a question where you need to be very particular about what you mean by "crunchy"!
