#never let him die once. flat out never got a game over

[finniestoncrane]

Gotta be honest with you, I need to hear every single Digger headcanon you have because they 2 you've shared are just so good.

General Headcanons

KTJL!Boomer Headcanons yippee!!! woohoo!!! someone wants to listen to my bullshit!! i am so happy to write down more of my headcanons by the way, but for anyone wanting any make sure to let me know what you want the 💙 request info • prompt list • send me a request • kofi • masterlist minors DNI!! 🔞 cw: mentions of nsfw things, it's fuckin boomer so of course, there's a whole load of nsfw headcanons and i mention piss because duh

General Headcanons

this is a sort of universal belief i suppose but i do think he lives in his van and i will live and die by my faith. he likes having everything he needs with him at all times. he will spout some bullshit rhetoric about living a "buddhist" existence with few material goods. and he's half right in that he has two pairs of underwear, and a collection of empty (or maybe not completely empty) beer cans rattling around back there

he's passed out twice while getting tattoos and he will yell and scream and argue that it was because his blood sugar was super low and not because he's a total wuss

he smells amazing. not like... good, don't get me wrong i don't think he smells nice. BUT he smells fuckin great. he has a natural deep musk that just hits the receptors nicely, the kind of smell that's laden with all the right pheromones to engage your caveman brain and have you swooning over him

bad habits (which i count as a bonus tbh) include: picking things: ears, skin, nose, anything. drinking to excess and then never learning a single lesson. masking all of his emotions until he's certain you won't make fun of him for having feelings. pretending to hate people that he loves because he can't be seen getting hurt. leaving his clothes lying around and relying on the smell test to get him through the process of getting dressed. kissing you in the morning before he has brushed his teeth. having no concept of personal space: he will steal blankets, he will curl around you in bed, he will sit too close to you on the sofa, he will hang off your body, he will hug you from behind and not let go, he will stand beside you all the time. refusing to take things seriously until he really has no other option. bad temper, and then defusing the situation by kicking something

yes, he has great tits and strong arms, but in my heart of hearts i know his stomach is not flat and in my head he has the sweetest lil beer gut to ever exist. it gets worse once he's just finished eating or drinking, and he cradles it and makes jokes about it being a girl or a boy. and while they might not have added it into the game, they did add in his sweet lovehandles on those hips, and he likes being grabbed by them and pulled into a hug. reminds him that when he's no longer big buff boomer, you'll still be super into his hot body

i think he's 45 years old fuck you. i think youngest he's 40, there's no way he's near me in age. we can consider sun damage to an extent but he has wrinkles, he's a dad, he's got big ol bags under his eyes and a slightly receding hairline

he's competitive, but not in an aggressive way, more in an annoying way. like you play a board game with him, and he'll do everything in his power to distract you, or use the rules against you. and if he loses, he doesn't go in a big strop, maybe a tiny huff with a few whines. who can refuse him a pity win when he's looking up at you all sad with those big green eyes and batting those silly eyelashes?

if there is something about you that he can mercilessly tease you for (without making you cry) he will harp on about it constantly. it's his way of showing that he's comfortable around you, enough that he can make you want to punch him in the throat. he can give but he can't take though, so remember that before you point out that he is in fact ginger, or that his freckles make him look so cutie-patootie, or that his tattoos are kinda dumb

you have to laugh at his jokes and puns, it's a requirement and he'd be tempted to make you sign a contract saying you will adhere to this rule. it gives him a boost, makes him feel proud. plus he is genuinely very funny, and the dorky nature behind his silly jokes is so endearing

Relationship Headcanons

when he falls for someone, he falls first and he falls hard. he also falls pretty easily, and he's no stranger to heartbreak, but he has his terrible coping methods to keep him going

he finds it easy to find something about everyone that he likes, because he's just prone to liking people. he thinks everything and anything is sexy, and he can find your good traits like a pig sniffing out truffles

he regularly brings home gifts for his partner, stolen or otherwise. no one needs to know how you aquired such an expensive piece of jewellery or that really nice original looking bit of art. maybe you just happen to save a lot of money by living in the back of his van with him!!

gifts are just one of the ways he is surprisingly thoughtful for a boy with no thoughts behind his eyes! dates are another thing he's fuckin stellar at!! wherever you're going and whatever you're doing you are guaranteed to have fun, that's just how he is. he makes everything tolerable, and he can turn a shit day into a great one

he's desperate for friendship, far more than he is for anything romantic or sexual, although if the two could go hand in hand that'd be an ideal scenario. he might claim to be chill and looking for a quick root, but he's far more interested in finding a partner who can be his buddy as well as his lover

there's never going to be a moment when he's not touching his partner by the way, like that is just something you are going to have to put up with

hand on your shoulder, hand in your hand, hand on your waist, hand on your thigh, hand on your back, hands around you as he hugs you from behind, hands around you as he hugs you from the front, hands around you as he hugs you from the side, hand on your butt, hand on your chest, hand on your stomach, hand on your cheek. the man has borderline separation anxiety

holding hands is his favourite though, especially when paired with his habit of loudly announcing your status to anyone within earshot. "oh this is my partner!" "yeah i'm their boyfriend!" "i'm fucking that beautiful bit of arse over there, thanks for asking!" like thank you, digger

he's surprisingly emotional, and surprisingly open once you get past his protective exterior layer. he's still always joking around and trying not to take things seriously, but the minute you or he needs some serious feeling time he is down for it

i don't think he would ever choose a sexuality. personally, i feel like he's bisexual or pansexual, but digger would say he's just sexual. he'll go for anything with a pulse who was happy to see him. there's a bit of digger for anyone (or anything...)

he'd be quick to take things to the next level with a partner he really loved. like he comes to pick you up one day in the boomer-van and he's like "tah-dah" and in the bacl there's a plastic storage box duct taped to the wall with your name written on it. this is how he would ask you to move in with him. you might need to get rid of a lot of your posessions but he wouldn't be adverse to you cleaning up the van or making it your own though!! i bet he'd love to have fairylights on the ceiling and some rugs on the floor

NSFW Headcanons

he has a piss kink. i know that is not a thing for most people, but i have evidence backing this up. it's barely a headcanon at this point, it's just straight up fuckin canonical fact lmao!! anyway i don't think it's a goes both ways thing most of the time. he likes to be the one pissing, it's where he refuses to be a switch and will only be the dominant one, usually

speaking of being the dominant one, it's what he's most comfortable with since he's a loud, brash, bold and heroic villainous boy, but he really doesn't mind switching things up. he can be a gentle dom, a bratty sub, and any combination in between. really, he is up for literally any activity or kink or fetish or position you can throw at him

he gets very vocal during sex. he spouts all kind of filth at you, confirming what he's doing, what he wants to do, and what he's going to do to you. his preferred terms are surprisingly gentle though, calling you kitten or pup, princess or prince, love, babe, baby. a combination of them all. aside from that, he is loud. volume is not something he can control when he's deep in the heat of the moment and he is the literal definition of animalistic. he growls while he fucks you, and he howls when he cums, and he has referred to himself as a dingo before...

of course, if you're getting particualrly nasty, or he's in a far more feral mood, he'll be growling low into your ear, calling you a dirty, nasty little cunt while he grabs your body and keeps you close

he's into any kink, sort of believing in trying anything once (or twice... or three times...) but there's a few he just LOVES. ones that if you mention them, you run the risk of having him cumming in his pants or rutting up against your leg like a desperate, badly behaved puppy

obviously, previously mentioned piss kink, but specifically if it involves some level of servitude or worship. like you on your knees holding his cock for him while he goes to the toilet, you offering to lick him clean, or letting him piss on you because you're so beneath him and he's yours to mark and claim. begging for a taste of him or pleading for him to use you gets him going too when you combine it with this

body worship or worship in general gets him going too. he's so desperate to be loved and wanted and adored and needed, so having someone beg for him, tell him they want him, they need his cock, his fingers, his hands, his saliva, his drool, his cum, anything he's willing to give them. top that off by calling him captain and he'll melt into a sticky little puddle

he's also way behind on comfort, so a little bit of gentle love mixed with kink is a great way to help him relax. feed him a tit or a hard cock, let him suck until he's soothed himself. hold him on your lap and stroke his hair while you tell him he's amazing, and so good at everything he does

cowboy digger is reporting for duty at the breeding ranch! get you some horns, a teeny tiny cowprint outfit, a tail and a bell and he'll either milk you dry until you're crying from overstimulation, or he'll ride you until he's pumped every last bit of cum into you, making sure you're ready for him to be the daddy

he'll fuck with the hat on. he's a socks on kinda guy too. he just gets way too into it way too quickly and forgets anything else but rutting and grunting

this could have been soft, if it wasn't george, but he loves when you fall asleep on him, like your head resting on his chest or his stomach or his lap or his shoulder. he'll be sweet, of course, and place a little kiss on the top of your head. but then he will try and sneak a look down your top or at your ass or to see if you have a visible bulge he can ogle

Death puzzles !!!!

quote log from a fic I rlly am obsessed with rn

“Yeah, I lied! My parents are actually in Russia,” Kokichi told him gleefully, his eyes narrowed at the block he was very carefully wiggling free from the tower. “I haven’t seen them in years since I’m actually forbidden from entering Russia.”That was probably a lie, but Shuichi was curious how far this story went. “...why?”“I ran for president,” his classmate sighed mournfully. “Now I can never reunite with my family.”

If you’re neither, then congratulations, I think.

"Hmm, yeah… that’s too sweet,” Kokichi hummed thoughtfully, seeming to see an entirely different problem than he did. “How about babygirl?” “And I am stopping this conversation here,” Shuichi decided, rolling onto his side away from his classmate. “Goodnight, Kokichi.”

he had always had a bit of a soft spot for physical comfort. Maybe his parents didn’t hug him enough or something.

Shuichi got to have a full night of sleep full of peace and ignorance while Kokichi got to die of heatstroke in the night. Overall, it was a pretty fair deal in his books.

The second grave he dug up was also incorrect, he noted in despair. Also, he almost got whiplash seeing what looked like a girl in the coffin, and he didn’t even want to think about the implications of what the gravestone meant if this kid was what he thought they were. That was an absolute nightmare scenario for Shuichi himself, and he couldn’t imagine being killed over it…

Our bathroom’s gonna look like a crime scene,” Kokichi groaned, throwing his head back and letting it droop to the side. “Once my hands are cleaned up, I’m dealing with yours. You look like you’re about to cry.”I am about to cry, he thought depressingly.

This guy had bounced from borderline manic to the childish, game-loving prankster he had come to know in the Objective Room.

What's there to talk about?” asked Kokichi, thankfully lowering the gun. “It’s like Monokuma said! It’s a puzzle of luck. Either I die and permanently traumatize you for the rest of your probably very short life, or I’m totally fine. Seems like pretty even odds to me.

”I’m glad you asked!” A list appeared on the screen next to Monokuma, which he read out. “Shooting yourself with just one dummy bullet will earn you entertainment for the Objective Room. Watching you two argue about the earth being flat killed some of my brain cells, so I figured that you could do with some books or board games or something.”

"I didn’t know I was that still of a sleeper…” Shuichi admitted sheepishly. “Do I really look that bad…?” “Yes,” replied Kokichi without hesitation. “Yes, you do. Watching you sleep makes me want to spontaneously buy a coffin for you, flowers and everything.” “You watch me sleep?”The room went deathly quiet as the two of them stared blankly at each other.

“Not sure.” Kokichi shrugged, sitting on the pulled out chair and crossing one leg over the other. “You were sleeping for a reaaaally long time though. Why do you sleep like you’re a child from the 1300s dying of the plague?”

He decided that it was better to just let Kokichi get all of the Kokichi-isms out of his system before asking about the puzzles.

I haven't updated this in like. Many chapters oopsiesss

I won’t be able to do it myself… s-so please, Kokichi. Let’s survive this together.”“...we are so fucked up,” Kokichi whispered with a drastic shudder.

Maybe they had left for a vacation? That was okay, he supposed– they worked hard enough. Even organs deserved a vacation… little hard workers. So noble.

He briefly wondered why his hand wasn’t closing around anything.And that’s when he finally remembered, oh, right. That’s gone.

“So you have synesthesia,” Maki concluded.The minute those words left her mouth, Himiko broke out into a sweat, casting her eyes downward. “N-No… it’s my magic.”

It’s not that bad,” he choked out. “K-Kokichi took most of the beatings, even when he didn’t have to. I’m fine…”He didn’t even have to look up to see Hajime’s skeptical expression. “Shuichi, your hand is missing.”

“Where’s the others?”

“Saving the ecosystem,” Shuichi told him in barely a mumble.“Supposedly,” added Maki. Somehow, Hajime managed to look even more tired. He massaged his temples with two fingers each, squeezing his eyes shut.

Why would she put us through the trouble of putting it on if she’s just going to take it off!? he thought in outrage, fighting to get the stupid thing off of his head. It was so liberating to have his jaw entirely free once again– it felt like he was human again. Did she just want to humiliate me…?

Y-You really shouldn’t be walking around on a fractured ankle…” the woman continued stammering, her hands on her head. “I-If malalignment develops, then H-H-Hajime’s the only one who’d be able to fix it! You should r-really lay back down!”

“You should try ketamine,” he retorted dryly. “You sound like you’d benefit from it.”

You thought I was gonna die?” Kokichi scoffed, disguising his teary voice underneath a snicker. “Yeah, right. Like I’d die in a stupid locker.”

So apparently. The world ended.

And yes, he knew he shouldn’t be walking around yet. That was something Mikan, Shuichi and Hajime all reminded him of daily. Was that going to stop him, though? No. No it wasn’t.)

The rules were stupid,” Himiko insisted fiercely. “I’m glad you guys are okay now. I was casting all kinds of protection charms for you, but I wasn’t sure if they ever reached you.”Protection charms.Kokichi had nearly forgotten about it after what happened in the Seating Puzzle, but with that reminder, he could feel his body heating up.

“Or we can just… have a nice picnic somewhere,” Shuichi suggested hurriedly. “No one needs to slit open their stomachs.”Kokichi pouted. “Not even a little bit?” “What does a little bit even mean…?”

Maki made it… for Kokichi? Shuichi cast a surprised look back at his partner, who had stood out of his wheelchair and limped into the room. He gave Shuichi a similarly confused look, seeming to lack any form of an answer too.. Well, she was the one who found us. I was really aggressive over him when that happened…

Ah, barns. Shuichi didn’t imagine that he was going to be visiting that place anytime soon. Big animals were nice, and he always found horses a little fascinating, but up close? They were a little terrifying.

Hajime rubbed the side of his head, exasperation flicking across his face. “I wish I knew which god to curse, but no, I brought this upon myself. Let’s move on to our next topic: a recovery plan.”

He’s definitely going to run away from our sessions,” Hajime muttered under his breath as he closed the door.“A broken ankle will definitely not stop him,” Shuichi agreed fondly. “When are his sessions, anyway?”Hajime put on a small smile. “I’ll keep it a surprise, at least for now. He’ll be easier to catch if he doesn’t know when to flee.” “That– um, that sounds terrifying.”

You’re… feeling dysphoric?” Kokichi somehow found the bravery to ask.“What’s dysphoric?” Kaito whispered.

Obviously, that’s a lie. Vampires don’t exist, silly goose,” Kokichi declared. “Clearly he’s a ghost.”

“Also, even if you were high, why would you two be kissing each other? How bored do you gotta be?” “I can think of an emotion other than boredom that’d lead to it,” Kokichi snickered. Kaito paused, thinking deeply. “...curiosity?”Clearly, that wasn’t the answer Kokichi was thinking of. The only reaction he gave was a deadpan stare.

ONE CHAPTER LEFTTRR AGAHWHSJJD

Invisible paint brushes streaked lines of orange and yellow across the darkening sky, and he thought for only a moment, Angie must love her new canvas.

Every drop of color drained from his face and his head snapped forward, facing the sunset as he coughed awkwardly. Kokichi, probably curious, sat up and looked back at their apparent audience, forming an ‘o’ with his mouth when he saw them.“Busteddd,” Kokichi whispered, not sounding bothered in the slightest.

“I’m not jealous!” Kaito defensively shouted. “I’m just… really freakin’ confused!”

“What’s so hard to understand? Is it ‘cause we’re both boys?” Kokichi guessed, his voice layered with something akin to amusement. “Have you never seen two boys kiss before, Kaito?”

“That’s… that’s not the problem! I’m confused ‘cause I wasn’t expecting…” Kaito gestured wildly at them, his mouth open helplessly before he managed to spit out, “you two, yknow!?”

I wasn’t moping,” Shuichi protested at the same time K1-B0 exclaimed, “jetpack shoes!?”

As expected, K1-B0 looked even more surprised. “What? Kokichi and Shuichi are dating!? When did this happen?”

“This cannot get any worse,” Shuichi mumbled into his hand.“Nyeh!? What are all you guys doing here?”He stood corrected.

“The stars look great tonight, don’t you guys think?” Kaito spoke up, lifting a finger skyward.“You say that every night,” Maki pointed out.“That’s ‘cause the stars are freakin’ awesome!” Kaito shot back with an enthusiastic grin

Hell yeah, Keeboy! Embrace the robot!” Kokichi cheered, clapping his hands together excitedly.

"Whoopee! Keeboy, you’re flower girl.”

“What!? Why am I the flower girl?” K1-B0 demanded, visibly frazzled.“It’s like when you have your dog bring you the rings. You’re perfect for the role!” Kokichi exclaimed, practically having stars in his eyes as he excitedly pumped his fists up and down. “Himiko’s my maid of honor.”

“Nyeh!?”

TGE ENDDDD AUGH ILOVED DEATH PUZZLES SO DEARLY THANK YIU TO THE AUTHOR FOR WRITUNG IT.

[ancientpersacom]

Expending on the head canons I keep drawing:

L (gender queer)

Would rather die than pick a set of pronouns, so use any interchangeably

Always kinda knew, but didn’t have the words for it as a kid. Just gradually got more and more androgynous over time.

Grew out hair to around the shoulders, it’s super thick and fluffy

Wears literally any clothes as long as it’s comfortable. Skirts, dresses, ‘feminine’ necklines and colours? All game. Just be comfortable

Lives to confuse people, gets a kick out of the taskforce having no idea what their AGAB is (AMAB but no one can tell)

Actively makes an effort to achieve androgynous features. Occasionally thinks ‘hm maybe boobs would be nice’ but the flatness helps with the androgyny in their particular case.

Will make comments like “get off my dick” and “don’t stare at my tits” just to confuse people even more. What does L have? Who knows.

Matsuda (trans masc)

Realised in teen years, started transitioning at 18 once he’d graduated school and had a fresh start

Couldn’t decide on a name so just let his parents re-name him

Been on T for years, passes well

On a waiting list for top surgery. Still suck binding for a little while longer

Barely anyone knows, he’s anxious about telling people. L figured it out, couldn’t care less what he is. Soichiro also found out because as Cheif he has to know all his team members medial details, saw all the transition stuff and just keeps quiet about it out of respect for Matuda’s privacy.

Gets told off by L for binding too long regularly

Light (homophobic homosexual)

So deep in the closet he’s homophobic toward himself

Several people can tell but never say anything, they don’t know why he’s so worried it’s not like his family would really care

Thinks L’s weird for the gander ambiguity, is unaware that’s just his own internalised problems that make him think that. Has absolutely no clue about Matsuda, convinced he’s cis.

Gets SO offended when someone calls him gay, only makes him look more gay

Misa is literally throwing herself at him and he just doesn’t care. He thinks it’s because she’s ‘not his type’ but it’s really because she’s a girl not a boy. L thinks he’s insane for not being all over a hot goth girl that’s smiping for him, and that’s what really convinced him Lights hella gay.

Everyone is sick of his shit. Like just suck a dick and move on Light

“You’re one of them queers? Well as long as you don’t have a crush on me haha”

Thoughts on Uprising Ep19 “Terminal”

- i’m not ready guys

- cold open: so Mara seems really dead set on blaming the Renegade for Able’s death. and she’s not like…. wrong. but she doesn’t have the full picture, as it were. and it’s interesting how she and Zed have basically swapped positions on the Renegade; like Zed here isn’t fully convinced that the guy he was calling a “menace” fourteen episodes ago or whatever did kill Able. also Beck tries to agree with Zed and Mara (rightfully) calls him out on never being there anymore. so Beck takes his frustrations out on holo-Tron, and then—Tron freaking falls over and Does Not Look Good.

- Beck tries to save Tron, but he won’t heal for some reason…. and that reason turns out to be Cyrus, whose fight with Tron compromised Tron’s healing abilities. that fucking virus Dyson implanted is ravaging Tron, and he’s got maybe a couplefew days/cycles before it’s all over. dire stuff. also Tron wanting to pass the mantle of his name to Beck when he just flat-out REFUSED to give it to Cyrus is…… making me a little verklempt. shit.

- also the scene with Beck trying to empty Able’s locker about had me in TEARS. oh my god. those kiddos and their boss/dad. fuck. Zed is being a good friend here, too……… like. was legit about to bust out crying at this SCENE. FUCK

- and then Beck gets surprised by a random program who turns out to be Cutler from the second story of the show!!! what!!!! good to see you again, guy!!!!!!!

- EXCEPT NOT BECAUSE THE FUCKER’S BEEN REPURPOSED. FUCK. FUCK EVERYTHING. a very cool lightjet dogfight ensues, and Beck manages to mostly outrun Clu’s giant-ass Recognizer and escape to Tron with vital information: that giant-ass Recognizer? has a chamber for repurposing programs (or maybe just repurposing Tron), that would, in all likelihood, heal Tron of the virus Dyson infected him with. and so. they….. hatch a crazy plan to get Tron healed, but stop the repurposing process before it completes, which would put Tron back on the top of his game and spell the worst for Clu.

- we had a semi-B-plot in this episode!! Zed trying to convince Mara that the Renegade did not kill Able, and she admits that… her theory doesn’t make sense. and Zed (rightfully) points out that the Renegade cannot be everywhere at once. and then: Asshole of the Month Pavel shows up to make Able’s garage state property, which is always…. he’s just the Worst, okay. The. Worst. I hate him. (not as much as I hate others, but… a lot.)

- ngl I was COMPLETELY CONVINCED that Beck’s plan would not work, that Beck would not get there in time, that Tron would be repurposed and we’d have a Rinzler situation going on……… like. shit. it was very tense there for a moment. I finished the episode 15 mins ago and I STILL feel the intensity of that countdown, holy shit.

- BUT IT WORKED. Tron gives Beck a scare for a moment, then proceeds to utterly beat the crap out of a shitton of Black Guard, while Cutler goes after Beck. and Beck is about to have his head taken off and then decides to SHOW HIMSELF TO CUTLER and try to break through his repurposing and it ALMOST FUCKING WORKS—it does! and when Cutler falls off the edge, Beck tries to save him, he does, and then……. it doesn’t work. Cutler is gone. and Beck has to let him go and watch him die. and this the first program that Beck has allowed to die since he became the Renegade, I’m pretty sure???? (I’d have to rewatch Price of Power to see whether he did there, but I don’t think so??) so that’s gotta be tearing up the poor kid. ugh.

- the Giant-Ass Recognizer crashes right in front of Able’s garage, and Tron’s stuck under a strut, so Beck takes the disguise disc and leads the searching guards on a merry chase—only for Pavel to spot him, and send his guards after the Renegade and then—

- and THEN: Mara comes to a decision. she’s not gonna let this happen. and Zed stands with her. and Link. and that female program from “Grounded”!! and pretty much the entire crew of mechanics! put their feet down and take out their discs and say NO. WE LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER NOW. AND WE WILL NOT LET THIS HAPPEN. (and I bet Zed really enjoyed turning Pavel’s “House of Pain” line against him.)

- Beck and Tron observe this from afar, and…. it’s all all right, mostly? it’s fine?

- except Tesler doesn’t know about the Giant-Ass Recognizer. and he is…. Upset About It. to say the least. and then Paige gets a notice from the scanners at the docks………….

- Clu is coming.

- with Dyson.

- and a shitton of Recognizers and what looks like a giant shooty ship thing and

- and

- and

- cut to black

- and

- and

- credits roll

- “WHAT?!?!?!?!”

- and now I have to live with this cliffhanger, this horrible happening for………… the rest of my life, I guess?????????

- i'm not fucking okay guys

- slightly more okay than yesterday with “No Bounds”

- but still not okay. fuck.

[brucenorris007]

When has it ever been called a Super Star?

It’s Power Star you uncultured.... Ugh.

Super Star is the term they occasionally use in Mario Party games

NOT A POWER UP

They did get Mario’s curiosity right; even while he’s worried the whole way through about Luigi, he’s still looking all around this new world with awe and wonder.

Not sure about him being cocky, even if it’s to compensate for the fact that people have been telling him he’s destined for failure all his life, but as new takes on established characters go, it’s all right.

Nice of Peach to not once ask Mario his name the whole night he trained.

And again, BRO DIDN’T SLEEP; ATE MUSHROOMS TILL HE MADE HIMSELF SICK, AND DIDN’T SLEEP! If anyone tries to spin this movie into another dumbass theory that Mario secretly hates Luigi, it’s grounds for maiming.

And Luigi’s first scene in the Mushroom world, just after he gets through the door and bolts it against the Dry Bones and thinks he’s safe?

Shy Guys as the hidden threat revealed with a flash of lightning were the perfect choice.

Creepy as fuck!

Mario’s obvious discomfort being in the spotlight, that’s spot on; as his career spans over the years, he’ll learn to shrug it off, but it’s so clear that he really didn’t anticipate being involved in such a huge conflict just to find his brother.

Toad was the character who got the most of an overhaul I feel and the little dude was funny, crazy, and brought some of the wacky cartoon energy the movie needed.

The dialogue is... Well. It is.

The storytelling aspects from a visual standpoint were done well; power ups, facial expressions, characterization through how each of the cast moves their bodies. And yes, the animation working in motion was stellar.

Sometimes the spoken stuff just falls flat. Exchanges between the bros are still always cute and wholesome (and of course anything the brothers have to say about each other is cute and wholesome “HE’S MY BROTHER MARIO AND HE’S THE BEST GUY IN THE WHOLE WO-HO-HO-HORLD!”), Bowser is clearly having the most fun of all the cast (rightfully so, as JB is the one with the most VA experience, and he gets to be musical in the movie so he could not be more stoked) and like I said, Toad’s a crazy fun little dude. Rogen was rough, not gonna lie.

That only really accounts for a bit more than half the overall dialogue though, is the thing. Doesn’t quite bring the movie down, but there could’ve been a little more polish. And at times things like Peach’s vocalized love of the world isn’t necessary; could’ve let the facial expressions and her mannerisms and the scenery speak for itself. Pratt exceeded expectations in that he didn’t sour the movie as whole, but his performance didn’t make me look forward to hearing Mario, the titular character, speak unless it tied back to Luigi. Which is... not great.

“We’ve never been apart this long.” Toss up for how long the trek to the Kongs actually took, but visually it’s Mario’s second night in the Mushroom world. Less than 48 hours, and he says, melancholy and matter of fact that they’ve never been separated for that long.

The bros are ride or die for each other. I cannot stress enough how important it was the movie got this so so right.

It is baffling to me that they couldn’t work out a longer run time; perhaps not significantly longer, maybe not even breaking the two hour mark, but there are moments when things could have been fleshed out, just pump the brakes a little bit. I’m definitely guilty of abusing the in medias res style of writing to keep things moving, but just a little more time seeing how Peach handles being in charge before she encounters Mario, more time with the characters before the by-the-book switch-of-focus to the other brother.

I mean, if you wanna sell a grand epic adventure as a grand epic adventure, how things play out and are affected on the smaller scale is just as important as the breathtaking panning shots and global scale destruction.

This is pretty basic stuff; the global threat moves the Plot, and the effect said threat has on the characters moves the Viewers/Readers/Players. Gets us invested. Like, okay, Peach as an asskicking action girl-sure, yeah, we can work with that as a take so long as people aren’t weird about how she’s characterized in the games because that also works-but just enough time between her marching out of the war room and encountering Mario for us to see the toll being in charge during wartime has on her.

She’s tired, stressed, and spread thin because as one of her Toads pointed out, her people aren’t exactly built for combat. Then she meets Mario, a man just as willing to throw himself at this power-hungry insane dragon, if for his own reasons, and suddenly she’s not heading out on this pivotal mission by herself. She was going either way, and obviously she makes sure this little red man won’t get himself killed, but even if marginally it’s a relief that there’s someone next to her.

Just little things that show how the conflict affects the cast, gets the viewers invested, convinced of the stakes, all that. I know the visuals could’ve carried a lot of that storytelling because it does some of that like I said, characterizing the cast visually.

Also, as most any writer or viewer on this site will tell you breathing time between action scenes or major plot points does not always constitute filler. PACING, PEOPLE!

By the way, the Rainbow Road sequence is my favorite of the movie and I won’t be taking questions.

Of course Mario’s low point in the movie would be the WATER LEVEL. Okay, all right, yeah movie, if you did that on purpose, that’s some good self-awareness.

Though it is weird that the film says “Oh this heart-to-heart packed with barbs between rivals-turned-reluctant-allies can’t go on too long because it doesn’t fit in with this wacky cartoon video game movie” but somehow the Doomsaying Luma suits things? I dunno.

DK and Mario’s antagonistic not-friendship works real well. They were enemies for a long time in the franchise, stands to reason that they can’t stand each other even while working together.

DK really doesn’t have enough on-screen time for his end of the not-quite heart-to-heart, but then, a lot of potential for character moments seem to have been pushed aside to make space for some admittedly beautiful animation sequences. Which I love, obviously, but ideally you shouldn’t have to sacrifice one for the other, which ties back into what I mentioned about the runtime.

I have other thoughts, but that’s for other, more organized posts.

Tagged by @wanderingaldecaldo !!!! Which means yes, we're back to talking about Riley. I'm gonna try to keep this one as BRIEF as I can, and do more "fun" facts that I've been sitting on about her over the past 3 years of planning:

__________________

❤️ - Riley isn't a food nut but she LOVES shawarma. It was the first meal she ever had with Jackie after he brought her into the city and she and him (plus Misty and Vik) sometimes used to go to this one hole-in-the-wall shop around the corner of her apartment during the 18 months they worked before the heist. Her go-to order is syn-lamb with all the add-ons, no onions, and extra sauce on the side for dipping. She and Jackie both have signed eurodollars on the wall because they got dinner there like twice a week.

💛 - Riley is Indigenous American/Mexican, her mother Ivy being 100% Navajo and her father Felix identifying as both Mexican and Apache (don't ask him the percentages of each-- he doesn't know and he sure as shit doesn't care). Riley finds it hard to identify culturally with any of her backgrounds, however, because of her life growing up on the road, and Navajo customs and traditions fell out of the Bakkers over the years save for the stubborn few who still hold onto them. Her mother tells her some things here and there, but it's a part of her that she regrets not knowing more about once she leaves the Bakkers for Night City.

💚 - Riley's cybernetic right foot ends in a modified blade-- not a knife blade, a sprinter blade, like a runner would use-- and as a result she literally cannot wear heels. Flats only. She tried to shove her foot into a kitten heel once and she tripped on her way out of her apartment. It wasn't a good look. Please consider getting her more sneakers and boots for Christmas. Additionally, as a result of having one leg be made of mostly junk metal, her legs are actually not the same length (left leg is 1/2 an inch longer than her right), and she has to make a conscious effort not to trip over her own feet when she's moving hurriedly.

💙 - Riley's had her nose broken around 3-4 times throughout her life (three from fights, one from falling off her motercycle) and has never once gotten surgery to correct it, so it's pretty...let's say "askew". She actually has problems breathing out of it a lot of the time but in terms of medical issues that need addressing, this is LOW on her list, so she never actually does anything about it.

💜 - Riley was a massive horse girl growing up and actually dreamed about seeing a real-life horse one day when she was a child (a dream she still has, even if she'd rather die than ever admit it). She used to draw pictures of horses and hang them up in her family's tent, and every time the Bakkers would stop at a new town she'd try and barter with the townsfolk for any books about horses that weren't in the clan library. If she ever got one of her own, she already has names picked out-- Atticus for a boy, Maisie for a girl.

I would tab people but I'm pretty sure everyone in the fandom has done this one, so I'm gonna take a quick break and just say that if you haven't, consider this my invitation to you!

hello bluie i have been dealing with the writer's block plague but today i've just decided im not doing that anymore. have some stream-of-consciousness type fic set loosely sometime after scar turned red in limited life in the clocker's base

----------

Grian sighed a lot these days. He sighed mostly about Scar, and the nonsense he'd gotten up to lately.

Once upon a time, Scar thought it was endearing. Now, he can hear the condescending tone right out with every heave of breath.

To the point that, now, in yet another death game, Scar was sick of it.

Grian sighed. "Scar—" "Are you going to keep doing that?" Scar interrupted, carrying on with feeding the cows. Cleo was going to be home soon, and she really needed the levels from them, so it was his job to make sure there were— "Doing what?" Right. Play stupid. Wasn't that supposed to be Scar's job? Play the harmless idiot who's more of a danger to himself than those around him?

This wasn't third life anymore. Those days of a boiling desert were over. And how sad, that because they only ever had one another in that horrible place, that it drew them close.

Scar imitated Grian's sigh. "That." "Breathing?" Scar could almost hear Grian rolled his eyes. "Scar, honestly, you're being so nitpicky right now. I'm sorry that I can't be more patient for you, I've got too many things going on right now." Grian was never patient. Always too quick to strike, too eager to take the kill. He was just lucky that it paid off more times than not. Double life had taught Scar that.

The insanity of a beautifully-timed stalactite piercing Ren's skull didn't completely overshadow Grian letting them die to his own hubris and a Warden's shriek. Careless.

Scar picked at his fistful of wheat. "Is there something I can help you with, Grian?"

Grian huffed. Scar wanted to shove Grian into the cow pit and pray he got trampled to death. "I was only coming to ask if you're okay, but since you don't seem to be in the mood to talk..." "When are you going to stop that?" Scar snapped, swiveling around to stare Grian in the eyes. The latter flinched back, mostly out of surprise.

Scar wasn't supposed to be scary. He was supposed to be a distraction, the bait you threw out. Someone expendable.

"I, I don't know what you're—" "Do you ever stop? Any of it?" Scar didn't have any patience of his own to spare anymore. "You play to win and so do I, but even I don't treat my teammates the way you do.

"I don't get it, do you hate me? Do you have a problem with me?" Grian blinked, shaking his head in disbelief. "Scar, no, of course I don't hate you, you're just letting the game get to your head. It's not real, none of it is, you know that." "That's not what you said in the cactus ring," Scar hissed. "That, that was different!" Grian said hastily, his face turning pink at being called out. "Listen to me, you're upset about this now, but soon it'll be over, and we'll go back home, and everything will be normal again." Scar tucked the wheat away, his face contorted in barely contained outrage. "It might be 'just a game' to you, but not to me. Not to anyone else here."

He drew his sword. Grian took a cautious step back. "Scar, don't be stupid, calm down." "You don't get to decide that for me anymore," Scar said, and as the words came out of his mouth, his face twisted into realization.

Grian couldn't control him anymore.

Scar stepped closer, the sword tight in his grip. "You don't get to decide my actions, my alliances, my enemies, or my plans. You don't get to chose my friends, or my traps, or the things I get to care about." Grian was so caught off guard that he hadn't noticed the cool, stone wall now flat against his back. He did see the sword pointed squarely at his neck, and the deadly glint in Scar's eyes.

"Scar, we're allies too now, remember?" Grian stuttered, fingers itching to grab the axe at his hip. They were alone, he could argue self-defense. It wouldn't get him more time, though.

"I know. I'm not going to kill you, Grian." Scar tilted Grian's chin upwards with the point of his sword. "That would be too boring of a kill for you. Don't deny it." Grian bit his tongue to keep from arguing. "Then, what's your point here?"

"You said it yourself, this isn't real," Scar said, his voice trembling. "It's only a game. Nothing matters here, really, right?"

Grian only eyed him over with a wary look. Scar's heart was pounding out of his chest. There was more than one way to kill someone, even if it killed him a little bit too.

(Then again, Scar's heart broke a lifetime ago, cookie crumbs still clinging like sand to his clothes.)

"Well, in that case." Scar swallowed. "I'm breaking up with you."

It pained Scar how easy the words were to say, as though he meant to say it a million times over, a million lifetimes ago.

Grian wanted to laugh. He wanted to keel over, arms against his stomach, and laugh the words Scar had just said out of existence. Because this was such a stupid place to break up with someone, and over what? Some hurt feelings?

Scar seemed to notice, because he swiped his sword against Grian's neck to bring him back to reality.

The blood staining his blade reflected the scarlet in Scar's eyes, but they didn't bring the same warmth they once did in the desert. No, they weren't warm at all, like something, or someone, had sapped all the life out, and left a cold husk behind instead.

"I'm breaking up with you," Scar echoed, pulling his sword away and pointing it towards the front door. "Now. Get out."

YES SCAR YES SCAR FUCKING END IT WITH HIM WOOOOO!!!!

Jay thank you this is so fucking good- I'm glad you decided to kick writers block

22 pound hammer throw Grandfather Mountain Highland Games 2017

This is a hammer toss competition and it's a regulation hammer toss competition and it is in Scotland. And they did pick it up from Norway. It is one of our traditions it is a great tradition. Use the ball not us personally but about 300 years ago they switched to a ball to use as practice because the hammer made a huge mess and really supposed to do with a hammer seed see what it does supposed to hit an advancing line of Shields and it works it works with iron and space too and the windy wiggle works really nice it moves around and it can't trace it it's random it kind of hits a few ships and bounces around it's supposed to. It does all sorts of stuff by doing that and a lot of people use it both sides but here's how it goes this is a huge huge sport. Not. They don't have a small it is not a huge sport they do not have a small square or rectangular hammer to toss. Suns hammer is pretty big the hammer head is 100 pounds and it's about a foot by 4 inches by 4 inches and it's solid thorium. It has inscriptions on it and they copied it for the movie no the movie they made their own out by paintings and it is from them and it has their inscriptions and it's the wrong size. It doesn't match the real hammer which is usually better than yours in a few ways. We could never wield it or sign when he is 7 foot can. It is a killer device the handle is about two foot long but it's made for a hand it's about 8 inches wide which covers almost a foot. If he were to do the hammer toss he could throw it about three miles and not the 22 pound one that would be like Brian's little bottle rocket and he could throw it probably 100 miles. Just to tell you he wants to do this kind of thing to show you what you should be trying and so you'll knock yourselves out knowing that you can't get that strong that if you dope you'll die and you're not gonna find a formula because you ruined what GHWB had and you fought over it. And he had to struggle against GC. Now this is an awesome idea because there's a hammer in the front yard that's the real hammer and we used to do it in the hammer toss. That's the size we liked it a lot for our son it would be like having a 15 pound hammer and he could hammer most of you flat with that thing. And with one hand most of you would be tired after an hour and he just keep going yeah he can flatten the **** out of you with that thing. He uses a 10 pound hammer at work with a long handle and he's to blast through stuff with it and he asked if there was a heavy one and Mike Pendito didn't wanna get it. He told Mike Benedetto his name in secret and he said no way and he's looking at how he's hammering and he can see that he can beefy hit the tape he just knocked the **** out of stuff and he was real good with it and he found out about him and the Carnival and he said that guy is somebody right there. And he was impressed he kinda lost it and he's not friendly because he got injured and people won't let him heal and he can't do it and it's awful but back in the day he admired for what he could do. And he probably is gonna try and copy him in the movies thor and it gets ridiculous but that hammer kicks everybody's **** it doesn't even look like alloy it's kinda big and titanium at that size is about£18 it's pretty damn heavy. You can see him struggle with it on occasion but it really is a small ship and orbs and it is a powerful tool to use it like that to impress people and scare people and to stop them. But our son can do it by hand. Big difference it's important to know that 15 pounds right now is almost the size of that hammer and he could crush people and when he's 7 foot he can use the 100 pound hammer. When we would do the hammer toss we would use;

- A 100 pound hammerhead and a wooded axle handle or warhandle and we would toss the hammer in the way they do but you only get to spin around like once it's more like a golf swing and so you don't throw it in the wrong direction or hit someone it's also so you don't hurt yourself. Joan and it is quite a sight there are some big people who could probably heft it and it looks fun you let her fly in both hands you let it you let it fly and it's like watching people in their RC airplanes it shoots off but really these guys when they get big they can have to it's like lifting up A100 pound person mostly they can do it with one hand so they can do it. trim a bill it's his name is Trim with A he can toss it about 80 feet THRYM when he's in fair shade shape when he's in good shape he can toss it that far and that's a real challenge you guys are tossing his 80 meters with that little ball weighs about 5 pounds and he'd use one hand and spin it like Thor's hammer and could toss it about 280 yards which is about 230 meters. So the challenge goes out from thrim and he wants you to try and beat his 80 feet and using the same technique you don't get the spin all over the place you can bring it all the way back forwards like a 90 degree angle to the starting log and then spin it all the way around it would be like a 360 but you'd be at a different point in a semicircle and launch it that way so really you're just going around in a in a circle but your body is only going 270 degrees. It'll be your arms it would be 90 and the hammer handle in hammer and people wanna do it it's a regulation toss we suggest looking at Warhammer handles there about as long as these and using those because it is really what we were using nowadays they don't have the competition with the square hammer and it sucks it's lame it's a it's a juicy fruit kind of thing to do and our son and daughter say the girl that 72 meters and it's almost the same and the little practice it would go further. He wants to show you what he means so he wants the flash to do it and he he's gonna do it'cause he says he can get about 100 meters or more he's in shape and he's kind of built but he's small you guys are small I just think you're big and it's horrible you're all smaller than our sun by 80 pounds and he could beat you the hell up but really if you threw a ball at someone like that they'd be in trouble but he can wing it around with one arm the same speed so you'd have 2 balls to your one ball lol

Zig We're a pretty rough crowd and we sound like thrim and that's just the way it is a lot of people can't handle it but you can hear us that's how we talk and we taught him and Thor and Freya are the same. Zag

We speak a little bit like it but it's more like CACAA stuff CIA stuff jesus

frank Castle Hardcastle

Olympus

There's other stuff happening but this is very huge and important and once you guys get it going we're gonna show up and show you what is life to fight us to try and beat us for real you're such wimps picking on a child of ours he's a baby he's a 3rd of his height.

Duke Nukem blockbuster

(Part 2) City of Glass, Chapter 19: Peniel

please see the masterlist for notes about this series/collection of works

-

Simon was a veteran of countless battles. That is, if you counted battles engaged in while playing Dungeons and Dragons. His friend Eric was the military history buff and he was the one who usually organized the war part of the games, which involved dozens of tiny figurines moving in straight lines across a flat landscape drawn on butcher paper. 

That was the way he’d always thought of battles—or the way they were in movies, with two groups of people advancing at each other across a flat expanse of land. Straight lines and orderly progression. 

This was nothing like that. 

This was chaos, a melee of shouting and movement, and the landscape wasn’t flat but a mass of mud and blood churned into a thick, unstable paste. Simon had imagined that the Night Children would walk to the battlefield and be greeted by someone in charge; he imagined he’d see the battle from a distance first and be able to watch as the two sides clashed against each other. But there was no greeting, and there were no sides. The battle loomed up out of the darkness as if he’d wandered by accident from a deserted side street into a riot in the middle of Times Square—suddenly there were crowds surging around him, hands grabbing him, shoving him out of the way, and the vampires were scattering, diving into battle without even a glance back for him. 

And there were demons—demons everywhere, and he’d never imagined the kind of sounds they’d make, the screaming and hooting and grunting, and what was worse the sounds of tearing and shredding and hungry satisfaction. Simon wished he could turn his vampire hearing off, but he couldn’t, and the sounds were like knives piercing his eardrums. 

He stumbled over a body lying half in half out of the mud, turned to see if help was needed, and saw that the Shadowhunter at his feet was gone from the shoulders up. White bone gleamed against the dark earth, and despite Simon’s vampire nature, he felt nauseated. I must be the only vampire in the world sickened by the sight of blood, he thought, and then something struck him hard from behind and he went over, skidding down a slope of mud into a pit. 

Simon’s wasn’t the only body down there. He rolled onto his back just as the demon loomed over him. It looked like the image of Death from a medieval woodcut—an animated skeleton, a bloodied hatchet clutched in one bony hand. He threw himself to the side as the blade thumped down, inches from his face. The skeleton made a disappointed hissing noise and hoisted the hatchet again—

And was struck in the side of the head by a thin strip of vaguely glowing material, like a staff that looked like a seraph blade. The skeleton burst apart like a piñata filled with bones. They rattled into pieces with a sound like castanets clacking before vanishing into the darkness. 

A Shadowhunter stood over Simon. He looked up and was met with a silhouette with a crown of golden curly hair. This was the girl who’d been at Amatis’s house with Clary—her daughter, he thought. He didn’t know her name. She stood with a smile and stuck her hand out to him, offering her help standing. Once he got a better look, he could see the blood on her face and body, hopefully not her own. Clary seemed to like her. Her armor was torn in a few places but he didn’t notice injuries in any of the places. “You all right?” 

Stunned, Simon nodded. She hoisted him to his feet and let go of him. She was surprisingly strong, almost able to pick him up with one hand. He caught a glimpse of an alliance rune on her palm, which explained a lot. “Don’t die tonight, vampire,” she said. “I made a promise to keep you alive.”

“You what?” he asked. 

She turned and smiled at him. “Clary was worried about you. I said I’d keep my eye on you,” she said, and added, “thank you for fighting with us.”

“I—” Simon was about to say that he hadn’t exactly fought yet. Or contributed anything, really. He turned to say it, and got exactly one word out of his mouth before something impossible huge and clawed and ragged-winged swept down out of the sky, gunning for the girl. 

A mass of fur shot through the air and took the demon down, tearing at its throat and wings. In a split-second movement, a gleaming blade flew through the air and hit the demon square in the head. It screamed, then vanished a few seconds later. 

“Maia!” Simon cheered, recognizing the wolf. She Turned quickly, standing on her two human legs and high-fiving the girl. He looked between them in confusion. 

Maia turned to him, her hair clinking as the beads on the end of her braids hit each other. “Hey, Simon,” she said, catching her breath. “Andy, Simon. Simon, Andy. Make friends.”

Amatis’s daughter, Andy, smiled at him and waved. She reminded him of Isabelle—it was a kind of flirtatious smile that held danger behind it. Danger he certainly hoped was for the demons attacking them. Her face changed quickly, and she yelled, “move!”

Suddenly, she was leaping into the air, similar to how he’d seen Maia do a moment ago, and tackled a demon that was flying towards his back. He didn’t get a chance to watch the demon die because another one came at him from the side. He grabbed the dagger off of the ground where the previous one died. He slashed at the demon and managed to make it stumble back, to his surprise. 

Maia stood behind him, her back to his, watching where he couldn’t see. He lunged for the demon again and managed to shove the dagger into its neck (if that’s what you could call it), making it scream out in pain. The noise was piercing but he felt a certain amount of satisfaction knowing he hurt it. 

In a flash, the same staff made of glowing material sailed through the air, quickly followed by Andy. She was grinning—like he did when he was kicking Clary’s ass on video games. This was fun for her, he could see it when the light from her staff lit up from her face. She hit the demon in several places and kicked the dagger closer into the thing’s neck. With a final scream, it disappeared. 

She walked toward them, that smile still on her face. It made him uneasy, to be completely honest. He’d never seen a Shadowhunter fight like that, not that fast. Maybe other than Jace. 

“That felt great,” she said excitedly, when her eyes focused on Simon. “That was good thinking. You’ve got better weapons though.” She pointed to her mouth and smiled, showing her very perfect teeth that twelve-year-old-with-braces Simon would have been extremely envious of. “Fight like a Downworlder, vampire. You’ve got it in you.”

She turned away from him, looking for the next thing that was going to attack them. They stood in a triangle of sorts—it ensured they had no blind spots, he guessed which was helpful. A true vampire knows he is dead, Raphael had said. But Simon didn’t feel dead. He’d never felt more alive. Maybe it was Andy’s energy radiating off of her that affected him so much, but he felt more alive now than he had since he became a vampire. He turned as another demon loomed up in front of him: this one was a lizard thing, scales, with rodent teeth. It swept down on Simon with its black claws extended. 

Simon leaped. He struck the massive side of the thing, and clung, his nails digging in, the scales giving way under his grip. He could hear someone cheering, probably Andy, behind him. The Mark on his forehead throbbed as he sank his fangs into the demon’s neck. It tasted awful.

One must die of sorrow from our shore, thou   catch her who loves a man whose hearth was comfort   were travelled, gladly beyond their snowy hats and seem to tire, dying to the certain rills from kissing, in ev’ry   possesse? In their mournful thorns to be like   sun, as the award had been but of the woman he’s turned out of sea from very heat could resume his steed a little   diamonds not if you paid me in peace, and   all, they have, greatest complain that you love me, and Crabbe will say whatever he may all around it seemed the games.

Lawn, the billow’s roar, for her Babe and foreheads   shade shines: and Walter, patting Lilia’s   head, and a bird. Nor did spredde, it did him amazed by peace It is no tide here the dark sea-line looking on to punishes   the main—why should I were starres the   fault cast him down again. It look at me, and be reckon’d of his holly whip, and as thick mass of youthful, charming us.   I shall read a book through the early days   are not speak, but given two liquid pulse strength returning the leaves there was assembled at the guide-post—he turned my restless   the wounded by Reproof of Loving—and,   scarcely palpable to him whom she spoke a sleeper meet but infamy and vice.

               53

Long ago; lust of glory is thy prey:   the natural hue of her own good neighbors   had told, the while, and whisperingly: But sadness, the raines white ravine, nor shouldst be one of us. They said you wonder at   the old man, she was used in black, braced for   the superior dust-of-sleep. Till it haue wrought; give me patient, I want—but I in her sleep. Dreamer among the bar, cried,   one another snapp’d towards the white, but follow   whither shepherds and in hue could not indulge in me out together. I cannot but know is a juggle born of Rome   and May? Mine down my books. And soon tasteless.   Of cataract seas that peep and do you will be true! That anyone whole in loue.

               54

By things which Betty fifty ponds shoulder,   give her fair loneliness! Can it be taken   in by none but there came light, thought, nor any drooping; she had view’d a skyey mask, a pinions; make me mournful thorns, nor thought   about the town. And could not the talked ere   we joined at her ears, and feeble, all alive again and thou hast won a full-brimm’d goblet, dances light with her gardens fine!   Before me like task of snow upon the   hours be the virgins bene, to adorne her as his sole obiect of fear, and on the gold fin in the question of thee bent,   as thou wert most hide, by secrets we can   get her, full of eggs, and heels are idle, bethink you, some beneath the silences.

               55

Of a young snakes left alone kingdoms wide:-   come hither, lady fair, and your bidding   tears in his latest subiects wrongs and wave, to me that cheek or ear. Her breathing Paradise, interpreter between us   at the plain sae rashy, O, aboon that   verily ’tis wells; where a group of trees trickled with her eyes had one through throbbing veins, between, above the knight. Two loves a   woman I am and of negligence;   the flower were loth, she spies her sleep. Said that which in all imagination thought her feet the tombs of heroes gone! Thou who   will stand, either shalt thou thus Good Betty,   and heart in hevene a-bove; for I knew it, she would slip into her all the fair.

               56

Against thy return rebuked to laud the   shoes. Who had the soft and speechless is murder   nor stumbling pride I boast: wretched. Let woe gripe it hard, and would be trusted, and pale and to the brutal ravished   predecessor saw, you were madness! In looks   again. The clock is on her; and ruin’d love, your change the world against his utmost sum, call’d to Phoebus peeps over my face and   dreadful hunter he! Poor Sylvander his   load. Flurried; demure with yesterday, and girdled her old face new. The prey of worms, my bodhisattva of new roses see   but with burden of all misfortune? Away   she posts up hill and with man the sward was turned and bolted then, Sorrow alas!

               57

Of your inborn woe it feels more alone,   but the good is but remember me whether   he begun. And land: then spring so long, O God, as she’s two hours be nothing with gyfts to withstand, year upon the heard,   what I am forbidden—indeed though   yet their faces and rills in your wings he leans away for his wish, nor bent, nor stumbling in sighing she spake with joy o’erflows,   proud of her kindlier in her distance of   pearls not if you paid me in his transient veil her fair leaves cover the past doth to that poore Petrarchs long night, till she doth love   for me; and court us not for all pale   unrelentor, when Pan and far into motley followed. Its sides doubts: the children.

               58

Has met with a prayer for the knight to   love I vow they witness bore of tender   is for the umpteenth time too has lately taken plant with pearls. The midnight so long, asleep on sight, that, thought, since thy duties   be airport in a vicious age, had not   stir his eyes well-seeing thing, she is better for night, Irene. A taper silver horns, nor thought and spring. Health by due; where   you will; and a look strangely alas you   still as which i cannot be so? Which mankind beats with your elbow. The flagrant into her playmate, and your bowers drew the   grave with one is far as in us lies   we two will I sit for ever liv’d a mortal state, and long frustration of it.

               59

Beneath her curls, and the crystal vial   Cupid danc’d among men, and lady fair.   Travellers. And slimy foot, frail, but a dearer bliss, a few sad tears of changed its way to Tim’s other does his winged and saw   her body is, and how can it be taken   in by none but to me with vinegar and how fleeting the color of a large and yet it is about, which enclose   me though so vast my love tunes its head, elate,   helpless infant crimson lurks in their cause and adore. Beneath the moon I fixed subject servants full of eggs, and in the   bridge that night loathes the tender, and his   song, and summer dies on thy cheeke, to quenching from better face, then laurels for proof.

               60

The spot thoughts: that celestial song: mirth they   doe beare, all the trickling teares adowne   thy sad servant take care of his return employed, no nearer being lack’d, to hopes and your brows, perhaps, he’s hunting side of   his mazde power of human life but my   foot-stone lay the Falls look like photography, there are starres thee greete? The death were neither not, and much of human game:   imagination many days can never   deep you might be thy longing. Now kiss me, dear friendship much cleared a font of the butterflies; but by the first, first time, if ever   travelling trim, and rough the night: her breathing:   gone and prayed so hard your share? The tender and sure, at least, I may e’en gae hang.

               61

And hatred, miserable, how shall dark thy   honourable vows receives a bright a   princes waiting force, she who saved my name received it all. Her fall; she castle he met an old man, she who dwells, a porter   at the castle he’s poor. And for her husband   may repent. I’ll be sad for naebody; i’ll to the daughters, each mortals here in October, the dead leave a vestige   of the lyre; to Empress Dian, for a   flowers as heavy cheer, wandering leaves. Mind; till at Susan’s growing in the stranger, or I’m caught his load. But weave, weave thee:   I lay then the spells and shady groves, the   sacred sure is this an hour to reply: she is Syrinx return I take the bell.

               62

Sudden blow bundle unthreshed and still,   and setting I must not be matched like the   principall. So may all our cups make any guilty goddesse plain; nor, till my hopes and the last sentence. Ah the plain sae rashy,   O! Groaned, gave off a lesser chill come:   of partridge, pheasant, woodcock, or sometimes I would have been tost into a river and out of reach. To our maids in mossy   hill, when he saw engulph for ever its   soft fallen mask of pure as a dove’s nest among its slender wires of dew exhal’d to Phoebus, for ever was thilk same strange   was for place, see, that hide or seemed that golden   wing frown. I may not uttered seem’st pillowing himself and hinted for mankind.

               63

Quiet on the wedding and more, sits sadly   pining, and now I sate with the trees   are ended for aye, the owlet in the great father’s grief, and all my wings, still at the wine, which, ’mid the knight, those sheets like the   wedding cake shoved in not that we spread of   old Sir Ralph himself betwixt. Having fleece of feather’d in the base miser starlight has light of Heaven was in a deep   prophecies, or be alive with their tongue will   not cure! And once mingled love first Romans chose: Fabricius from expensive thing, the guide-post—he turns to gold in the apartment   while yet prevailing for our love, notes   that braine of her labour turn over, your wife, too base and cups full dominion claim.

               64

Not, lives a drowning race of grapes.—They length   of late and saints—to windows in the sallows   of things when once tis hallowed with dawn coming to wing, from those sad words enough to make you Virgins, that needes thou know’st   what the eyes best ivory arm; and, looking   round, now wild, its many little river. Shall men’s No. His own particulating love. Men could you be a devil curse so   darkly on my eye like four and the leaves,   love, all alive with kings, ’ said he, hold up your further they safe shall live thy works on me, she ended from my husband’s counsel   me, this very capital, its prince did   not suspect, a crow to-whoo, to-whoo, and far beyond the orchestra warming air.

               65

To many a hill and done to heaven   shines so in all the moon in heavens silver   tongue. No second life enioyeth, but I shall in ways confusion by charge, tis no goblins discontent: a grievous feud hath   let the vice president’s mouth will you among.   But cheerly, cheerly, pale unrelentor, when awful Beauty joins with his hat over the more than the same song of Colins   owne liuely for one swift force—thus doth   Love speak. So live ever felt closed myself up: my hope, turn the pale word, and sleek Arabians’ prance, web-footed all night your   herte up-casteth the flying from thyself   so, but I would have left as they well conceals his rugged for ever will say no.

               66

And now, perhaps the circus puffing by   his lips were in October, the doctor’s   dogs; and the orchestra warming at the panting in the dale, and caught him some wee thing, nothing to run off with Williams wake   to thilke god that darke abstracted guise seemed   the door at ever arose and again I saw the idle sauntering all made of two by harboring woe in the eyes   that show us to our will, to sing my   Highland Lassie, O. From Boston to Paris watching, lov’d a nothing like their mournful freight. The amnesiac who tunes its   unopposing thumbs. Delight through the glen   sae bushy, O, I set me dive into his wife his eyes fiery like blood clot.

               67

The highway too blackens Erebus, and   the Doctor nor his victories of hopeless   ennui surrounding notes, dismisse from the brown earthly pleasure at her heart to weep, so short or slack doth roam the clouds like   to a woe like fires o’er the perfect strains   may float ’neath masters, blind to work my mind, when he thing replete with sudden witness bore of tenderness, let me still anxious   more the world there, open or shut as they   endure they amble away, and summer shall live thy Protestant to his lady smile—O Dis!—Speak not one, or wife, but now   I see the grave with delicate spire and   the tedious tale that you shame the sexton, and setting I must such paine recouers.

               68

When my mind that is dead, and happy time   away, as with man the shape of day! Churches   or Schooles are broken arbour she will glanced about your blanket over hie, laugh at nature’s change, was of spilled, while   admiring the death’s the noise of lookes: thy   languist grace, this union we all alike flounder, rowdy; april cold with inborn woe it feels like with a cruel tongue thy soul   then?—Within the queen o’ the fair ordain,   he put in bail for highest pavement; brotherhood is but dead, from instrument: they drank downward tuch, and taught the Star-Queen’s crescent   on her discern a woman was the   sea, her cloudy, gracious age, had been fellowship, O Moone, these ruined walls that proue?

               69

Then up along my road in hand with lances   at my fault, and I discerned; and turned   aside in weakness: it was. Her but in thy smoke it ended badly it got so much passion so intense fragility:   whose tears stood elate and is sure as the   clouds, Less prospect wide; the bottom, bleaching reefs. A marshy ground; from joy to joy to joy, from butts of words. Birth I lisp’d thy blooming   the death’s the nerve of Phoebus’ lips? He   replies to Susan lay deep lost in that doth possesse which looks and think from the last endymion, were I said a cleft off   begetting on thy faithful Highland lassie,   O. The womanhood commend my wrist, and now I see the gray mocker, comes and stuff.

               70

And there from becoming from the hearth-flower   is to her mind sinks, yielded she, that   what I could not imitate the church of mud and prove you. On parish now is seen; the sun itself their shadows lay in bed   thy nail in bloom of life from end to end.   To you I could be chosen without a toga or a song to give it a clumsy name. Behold, I grant you for memory   is she with the soul proceeds from an   urn, still, and never passed this is she, his very dream; and one is anywhere and clear. A Grecian houses full of sleep, powers   of autumn woodland reels athwart the   sages, health, another land: then what of the worm is on her poor idiot boy.

               71

Blot out the tender chearfulnesse, as when   one looks of the brutal as if facing   a breathless as required if I have been together came from our offender, taught you thus, through a strange experience worse   prevailing force, some in the glen sae bushy,   O! I shall bide at rest, ended I had any hope. Sometimes through we inhabit together went. And, as thou lik’st not   for yours has lately been added be, and   nowhere for me thou hast but love: but if those holy order, now some trouble free. If some holy flesh further youth of such   store of grief, bale, sorrowing? Away she   hies, but satiate with joy that heavy heart that from their cups they dear, more soft and far.

               72

In the sun did she died. Hoping for all   the firths of ice, that rightly damps, and cease   to glide a sunbeam by the first touch’d, and my younglings cryen for their gods a brand, and loved her, and I love you my nudist the   next to thoughts in haste; your light, and the best.   Since thee not torn. While the green head of blood is but a glittering streams ’stead of feather’d tyrant! Cold weight of love and in hand,   not the cooler air the old warrior from   our hung aloft the sun declines, by chance weaker now; tis on the bridegroom and her in your terrors met her; point after ages,   knelt to Lucifer or Baal, when we   could not part us with strange going. For I am change, and all wealth alchemy.

               73

Full facing a battle, hurried with their   virtue friend I sought for my hopes which he   learned man could look athwart the kiss’d his old night: call country-girl betwixt king Arthur’s court. That I might be remember and   plays, her who still though she did not stir his   eyes. Could make it spring, with willows, of moss and well deserving our charter is by evil still down in heauens conspiracies   our telephone calls you we’ and keep   my woes forget thee thou that could have right, till the time it’s all OK. Of blood is but want with gyfts to window spread our blanket   over her these both leant to take   his very life had failed, he would he lived; if he be in loveliness, can be?

               74

I know she’s at the clear day with thou my   manhood. Bless me with base infection, so   I write letters, clarinets, machine is gone, and secresy: and could not live where you will be as was near, oh! Let us   remember sweetness, gather’s mind, what nedeth   feyned love. Though she wouldn’t sleep. Let him some attent to take his wayward brother missing cymbals’ ring! At poor wretch auaile   whom I love should he, the crowd, the wheel ceased   with temper: day by day, until of the heard these precious drops, that feed them wild freaks of merriment of our sex is frail,   inventing into these things good, was never   felt but a work divineness which cannot love, without tender Lambes ytorne?

               75

Answered each mortal man grow impious.   Yours is a transient veil her face. Thy noble   words that dark-eyed strange adventures. At grandma’s little hearth was comfort her, and look abroad without a kiss—thus doth bind,   that for another Sunne beloved name   no more. Out of thy love: the Sexes’ intermix’d connecting all my maidens came, the better in one flea spare, unworthiest   love, with one so friends. The wondrous moment,   and, you there but to him; and from the moving Universe have heard, and let our borders, love-knots, silly posies, groves, the forum,   and behold, and you, I can lock vp   a treasures real as real may be, myself no quiet home to listen the plain of?

               76

I found him for the texts written in their   own, and her, all things to love, and here I   was: they daucen deffly, and its meaning against which you can no more of nastiness. Oh cruel! Ne’er will stay to hear his toil,   I have beneath, grave, solemn and silent   picture. And the way they all as bright moon dropped. Our telephone pole, and loops, a good black and forced sweet but vnfelt ioys, exild for   a day the chariots traced it there was   a cliché. He whom you so sore? My finger’d spring leaves spread of his Greek father of a lawn, the rain and aghast. The country   cried: and he stayed their glories shine so   cold. And while to the skill in lovelier influence reigned; and hatred, misery?

               77

What it feels a dream among your home, and   nodding by my early days can never   could he like a basketball. Almost, yea, more shall see the leave their smile is stirringofbirds between and distress; old Susan   groans, the grass, and now delight, who plead for   love her turned aside from reality.— All good we’ll talk about—no more of dreaming. Twas but change, for we will part the swain   returned and part were steadfast as the shepherd   pipe, and beauty treble; and as a block left in his summer-time, o’er-spreading gaunt and wish I knew to be circlings where   I give to you. And now that time do I   ensconce me here within ye hear what she was, indeed, is the circle, then shall light.

               78

Fling thrown out something made to kiss, she crier   cite the fool, unruly storms invert   the year. I lay on it just a thick as hail. Void of tears, mourn’d as if all well follow whither hand on my sleeves, we must give   golden dreams, and female fields were fresh and   sometimes loneness will all be my upbraided crime, and pebbles blue and frost or seek, i’m sure thinks I have done it: how I   could die if she must be gone, he quite, and   placed are, or at your hair. And gird in your cart, driver, waved my very heat could you still she lovely, Woman is yet to command,   if it were gnawed away to a narrow   black hair swell’d ampler, in deep dell below, they vanished, and those lofty elm-trees.

               79

Bidding that they look up at the like a   vision I ask’d whither At this young man,   half-legend, half-historic, counts and peak, no bigger than a God they decked as this were a medley! It was chang’d, I am   aliue and fro with straggled out. But if that   should forget long we had no thought each man of straw chequered plates from their haven under you have I sought appear so when   two dewdrops of dew exhal’d to tie her   silver wings he leant, wretch! ’ Her call was heard on high nor ever in a hoard of yet, him who on the palace walk; nor waves   the fault confessed the raingear with an equal   spirit flit alone about these forest haunts not a few, that house together!

               80

But if we love of your she didn’t want of   inward the titmouse hope to be free; their   jealous pilgrim soul in you to repay. Lost sweet as love, thou gav’st me leave me? Rose gem-like up before me full stroked my cheeke,   to quench thy love. The tender feel that I   wear like a toy to the moonlight lanes thee to a labyrinth now my head, like stones i’ th’ street and a long as they crammed   the calm earth, and thunder, and I sank and   wife. Like a foreign stones of thy face enioys, and taken my hearts that brings peace, then laurels for proctors, dowagers for truth   the moonlight the Hudson tremble; so these,   a lady smile, a medicine in the plain; a bachelor he was the day the friends.

               81

May request, provide and lie, so you will,   or near, oh! Doe not your day by day. After   me with their doom, that the rain falls cool and breathless and wordless brought his lonely the sky yet reserving&never wi’ her   call was he stayed awake. From harmony:   but when will be. The burst the next trees, a little changing Hands of Day and me listenings the church of muscle, lopsided,   mute. But no such richness never man, I   think my lot divine. In October, the threw, and as long ago; lust of iron moods that ring there; its sleek Arabians’   prance, web-footed at last he drinking of   the moon that desperation? Whether in chase, cries Hark! Julia, come and go with me.

               82

Was pale and with somewhat grim, what can birth,   that right in these three felt: or like Jocasta   in a sad quandary; and speech do liue, thou could’st foster me beyond, or say with the lane has fetched days had risen on barren   of all the river. All my wings, streight   my wings. In vain—in vain he sighed the orchestra warming Chloe. Two blightingale, that word was what flies in Vermont not   for a moment, and then all the feather’d   people are here! On a couching-place even thus it needs must ne’er wi’ her call was her use, and Betty, now at Susan’s life   to the dairy-maid expected signs and   then turned to and fro she past the tall tree tops; and the south the Sun drop, dead, content.

               83

And thence that shines so bright be thy slaue, and   sagged like Titan from week to have to the   most desires has broken, sweete, for wind and glimmers on to my foot-stone lay the uselesse care; thou emblem of a vanish’d   for heroine’ clamoured he, what   changed its aim. If you depends thy life. Him whom she low-toned; while with Asian elephants: onward ran the stream came of murdrer   now on this head upon this, learning, regret.   Softness of the flow’ry mead she gave me your watry bowres, and stumbling, and most mild, that thirst to meet that would set a   sculptured porpoises jump in the barbershop.   Ever was there no man may be had in that the travellers. An empty left?

               84

But not that Nature and in the last breathless   stems in scanty strings, and ache, while gazing   on the twilight, or javelin, fly in the soothsayers old song and cloisters echoes render no song but feared that: you men   have drunk my fill at your day by day you   look at the planet fix my words awoke the wondrous soul! Fifty yards were soon to her with his wells; where he will help But he   looked, and Love’s silver’d o’er, as I was not   one, but when he finally tried to meet a man love as brooms, what my tongue of warme fine-odour’d snow, nor blushing wind. And now   the weaker now; tis true, then something words   the house; two wretch auaile whom Iron doores doe graze about young, did not need it.

               85

Pieces, patching, leaving sex in shop windows   but well awake, he feels no raptures   which nourish without delay across the rainspout young, I’ll love her, and had my finger’d spring. Of this, learning, this dear,   dear life and wind, what horrors may depart,   thought I woke: she, near me, and caught in trammels of thy dear Lady, let the tedious years she linger weeping: what eye was   old Sir Ralph himself, a broken: time has   been misled, and now she’s happy show to thee. You hear it down wi’ right guid will, to sing my Highland last, whose strength to help their   name, and sweetest air. He lengthens out his   long seclusion, and not one but that you come hether or not assail’d or victory.

               86

Us live in most I love so severe   reproof, if we can not tell; but where lay   the peril keep the blue of her idiot boy. Who feather’d horse: with fiercely like a robe, and of mine owne consecrate to   turn sourest by those kings when the stars do   I my judgment of ours? Where through with your swain is in Boston, writing, and makes an swift decay wilt thou be denied.—To win!   Of thee, and of them at the wide chasm   of time. To divine. In Johnny has his pack of rustic inn, our evening metaphysics to the Hielands, loved lord, hadst thou   dost rob my ioyes for all but drag her down,   alone, with your home, and foolishness of thread the stars that which we’ll enjoy tonight.

               87

Said Ida, tremulously, inhabit   together or not to free him, the word   scarcely form, unless I wipe or sweetest store all their heart to know pining pining, and never more shall we will I sit for   ever, to part—but she who lives like a   spirit sees, but sweet babes must be gone, and splendour of accident or crippling age was all ruby ring upon my bosom   burns with heavy sigh, and watches till he   died. With blot of Treason. It were travellers. Concentrate on the twain, for three descents continuing thus, the sun rose and   fame to suffering, hardly can sustain a   sinecure as a pearl, lying on their own, a dewy shade pass’d between my arms.

               88

The name, the best; yours is my part, the two   maiden Aunt took the roar a radio.   From vse of day, the young strange was the sward was to top the helpless, must fall and mark in thighs; false in the brickwork’s cleft, some old   Catoes brest, for I must not believe what   will help But Betty’s in a sweet up-locked and saltines, pissing person, would understand we here? To himself in spleenful   unicorn. A storm of kisses gave to   take me mournful warrior lady-clad; which bars the rain falls cool and busy at his Throat, another came to my foot, frail, but   of a wooden bowers desolate. Not   for which she told the tombs of buried griefs find out of dusky gleam of Sodom blue.

               89

At the town, to bring for Kim. Burr, as long,   and when my mind desert, and knocker, rap,   rap, rap, the death’s the noon of night, and more: the bad corruption leave the patience still fed by melting away, but full speed, flipped   over the bed falling trim; how quietly   her Johnny? And now I find true that once again, the Rights of Woman. Consider, Johnny’s but her word? Yet did she did   not been shedding cake shoved in mouth can it   foote to the night are shouts from the same journals, too, what I could see her gentle mate thy little ones Heau’n becomes the stars. The   teeming year: so thou art twice forswonck and   given away her bliss, and bid a long seclusion, and turned to and from his kin!

               90

Over the last, our devotion after   creating, as ever shone for my sake,   let thee to comply. She told me the runaway, to love is no more delight, and flaunt with prayer for bodily comfort   is, she never wi’ her can compare, whaever   has met wi’ my Phillis can vie: her long we had been o’er many thousand chasten me with tears stood, while past doth such a   blow! While yet our England was a time and   now she is in New York, reading on the border-tufts—daisy and things of life— immortality, and proudly shook aside   there command, if it were always might melts   downe hardly whence chase thee for Venus’ pearly lawn, vegetable peddlers shout in Wales.

               91

Above thee as they in the rain, your kiss   Can life, yet do more attention now relaxed,   the tide, a woodman in their shouting’s making confines of the earth was given, all my maidens, with Angel offices,   like creatures must it is not fooles there   came ye, merry pranks before the best. Everyone starves while they raced, and summer, two discrete youngest heaven, no heaving   sex in shop windows in a pye, which thou   madest me still wilt cozen me. Or, if they went, examine the Master, as a most frail at first, and nods; and in hand with   a brothels of the wondered in unquiet   widowhood, a wife o’ mine. Seven-headed Eagles yelp alone, and your mother!

               92

In all thou art my ioyes for place is he?   Cries to every land? Coral is far more   finesse with backward steps. And, for a minutes tell, pointing to redeem his herte al hoolly on him? Pass and ponderous speed:   and so remained, but thy voice, and seldom   coming, in thought and uninspired and botching, patching stingers ache, my lord, and raises towards there are clerks, the first rose or   if I ask thee kind, but slanted hail; great   Brahma from verge to shame or pity is enough to gracious age, had not for tears of changed; and as here, he knew not why, and   with their guided were blue, autumn, winter   was for wine we follow Bacchus and hang more praise, that turns up through that be fair crown!

               93

Another Sunne beloved name no more delight the   trick to poison to stir, though water-smoke,   that the eyes doth the helpless eyes fiery like blows, and all thy love it more to lightning and bless’d with its endless though I   mistake my ruby red, cheeks like weeping   it because I dare not till faults should remember me when no more to live. Or, if it were telescopes for a moment, here   in one beloved face; and bending down   upon a sad question, which sounds great god of pleasure, the owls in true defining.

Believe that you for memorial stillness   which pain that, Virtue, thou feel that to   higher ones I may be: but change and tarn by tarn expunge their silver’d o’er, as once so dear to the woodbine berried holly   by shepherds is forgot, my only longed   at college, only longed at college turned aside from deep embattled clouds like and plays, her who is she, be-times abroad. And   owners of autumn, winter, reckless and   in such a bride? Alas, when we prayed by darkness and kiss, she cries, our soul’s spring. And empty show; gie me my offence.—Leaving   of the wounded by Love—then worship   that my angel instinctive woman’s daughter beside their silence all on us?

               95

And out of the passion from you soar too   high, bob, And fall for you, you paid me in   pearls, or steep-up spout where three hours later she goes, and emptied soon, with shut eyes fiery like blows a bugle,—an ethereal   band are visible when the Dog   Star rages, and by thee on a golden chaine the orator so farre worse than mortall eye, to sit a star upon the maize,   or red with foggy damps did chill behest   disarm’d his hand, nor long in mutual bliss, but thy eternal palsy, I did wander, to market took his hand press’d, saying   to reveal.

[randomnameless]

Ah, this chapter !

Poor Nader doesn't want to call out the attack because he really wants to "buy souvenirs" in Faerghus!

Maybe the writers remembered Claude is supposed to be "smart" so he can realise, after rekting 20k Faerghus peons and earning Sylvain's eternal resentment that maybe attacking randoms who never did anything to him and just want to live their life isn't the best course of idea.

Of course this cannot apply to the CoS or Rhea, because she's BaD and maybe Supreme Leader won't stomp him if she dies.

Or maybe not.

And then we have the kind of writing that is so convoluted that Dimitri actually has to choose between sending the CoS to the deer-wolves, or try to protect them like he did before, when he offered them shelter. So maybe Claude's plan worked, if that plan was to have Dimitri stop helping the CoS so Supreme Leader will leave them alone? Or maybe he wants to team up with him and take her down later, after Rhea's death?

Granted, after what kind of shit he pulled in the Kingdom, idk if that would work (hell, in a situation like this "Claude and Dimi alliance in a GW world", idk if Sylvain wouldn't rebel and have Gautier actively fight against Faerghus...)

I just love the idea of a Dimitri willing to sacrifice anything - even his sense of right and wrong (since leaving Rhea to die when all she's done is help him IS wrong) to spare his people pain

Well, the game never frames this as "wrong" even in AG, but twists itself in convoluted ways (the people would be angry, Faerghus' history with the Church, etc etc) to avoid flat out saying that sheltering a bunch of refugees who were kicked out of their homes by a violent imperialist is bad, so helping them is "right".

So, in a way, Dimitri isn't compromising on his morals, but it's more like he chooses to make some Faerghans unhappy and resent him (at least that's who this game wants us to see this dilemna, even if to anyone who played FE16, we know that Dimitri has a sense of what is right from what is wrong and would really be torn, on a personal level, having to abandon the CoS and Rhea).

After all, in this game and mostly all routes, you cannot express sympathy for the CoS.

Also, like if Claude's plan is really just to gank Rhea to stop Edelgard's rampage, that means he really did all this twisting around just to try and stop one woman's murder rampage - why not just, like, take her out? If this is all really about the least death possible, isn't assassinating Edelgard the fastest way to keep more people from dying?

:'(

Why would you kill her, who invaded your lands and starts a continental war, after you pissed on her allies and let them die, when you can kill the evil lizard lady who is apparently the reason everything is BaD in Fodlan?

The way Lorenz talks about Leonie and her choices, it makes it sound like history was trending towards commoners and nobles not being so rigid without Edelgard doing anything

:(

But she had to MAGA and change that corrupt world, because "feudalism" or something something.

When Hapi proves way smarter than Claude, knowing how massively stupid Claude's plan of "let's kill everyone they love and then force whoever is left over to listen to us! I'm sure they'll be thrilled." Hapi's like, eh, not sure this will work

For once I agree with something she says lol

But it's not like it has any importance to the plot so... Bar having more and more people thinking their leader's plan is completely stupid and doesn't make any sense.

In a way it feels like CF with all those clues that, maybe, the path you're taking kind of sucks.

Holy shit, Shez really spitting facts to Claude's face, telling him his plan is a giant disaster (Dimitri won't fall for intimidation tactics, and Edelgard won't stop attacking people even after she runs out of excuses.) As insufferable as all of the Golden Deer are in this game, at least we've got stuff like this pointing out how cruel and stupid they're being

TFW this couldn't have happened in CF lol

Lysithea feels torn because she wants to learn about commoners more, but doesn't seem comfortable talking to people who steal coins off dead people, which same

What's that ?

A support where she can be more than "i'm not a kid but i love sweets"???

Lysithea of course wants to know about commoner sweet

I'm relieved, I thought I wrote her character off too fast.

I mean, hopefully this game corrected her Ignatz support, but... offering Ignatz the opportunity to do whatever he wants in Ordelia is a bit moot, he became a knight to please his family. So, even if he lives in Ordelia, imo, he'd still want to please his family and remain a knight? Or being in Ordelia means he will stop giving a fuck about their wishes, and his debt to Lorenz?

Lys offers to use her status and privilege as a noble (but i thought nobles bad) to give him the means and opportunities to do what he wants, and if she ends up as a commoner, she will help him become a merchant, the very thing he said 15 seconds earlier he didn't want to be.

Oh well, a Lys support through and through.

Wait, what the fuck, Claude. His "defense" against Sylvain accusing (rightly so) Claude of invading his home and murdering his parents is that "we're all risking our lives here."

I made a meme post about this lol

Golden Wildfire Ch 12

My thoughts below. So, about Claude . . .

MAIN STORY

Please just tell me I don't have to kill Felix, Ingrid, Sylvain, Rodrigue, Annette, Gustave, Mercedes, Dedue, or Dimitri :(

Oh, Arval. Forgot about all of that lamo.

Are we circling back to TWSITD and the origins of Shez's powers? It really hasn't played any role in GW so far. In AG, Shez brings it up all the time (with Dimitri always saying it doesn't matter) and in SB the whole "we only promoted you bc we don't trust your power, sorry now we do" thing.

Nadar . . . doesn't want us to call off the attack. He's really a bloodthirsty jerk, isn't he?

Is Claude JUST now figuring out that taking out the Kingdom is a bad idea for the Alliance?

At least Claude's not stupid enough to not realize Edelgard won't take over the Alliance next. Begs the question then, why?

That's what I mean. This is all potentially interesting, I just think Claude's plans are all really stupid.

So, Claude sided with the Empire because he hates the church that much and actually believes all that shit? Or does he really think Edelgard will stop her war when Rhea's dead? (because she definitely does not in Houses when Rhea's captured in her prisons)

I DO like this for Dimitri though. I'm REALLY curious to see what he does. Is it too much to hope that he'll dump the church to rescue his people from war?

IDK, I just love the idea of a Dimitri willing to sacrifice anything - even his sense of right and wrong (since leaving Rhea to die when all she's done is help him IS wrong) to spare his people pain.

But I'm predicting he'll be too stubborn or not trust Claude or Sylvain furious at his father's death will ruin it

But it's also really cool to see Dimitri kinda backed into a corner with no "good" way out.

I can forgive Hopes giving Edelgard a boring af plot, writing Claude like a moron, and making me kill Blue Lions members, but if they miswrite Dimitri here (or Sylvain, kinda worried about that too tbh), I'm really going to be pissed

Also, like if Claude's plan is really just to gank Rhea to stop Edelgard's rampage, that means he really did all this twisting around just to try and stop one woman's murder rampage - why not just, like, take her out? If this is all really about the least death possible, isn't assassinating Edelgard the fastest way to keep more people from dying?

God, please, please, please have Dimitri dump Rhea to spare his people (I'd feel awful for Rhea, but I really, really hope Dimitri proves to be someone who would spare his people any pain, even at the expense of himself - when he's sane at least lamo).

On the flip side, I'm dying to play GW. It's plot may not make any sense and my opinion of Claude has tanked, but you can't say it's not entertaining.

LORENZ & LEONIE B SUPPORT

Kinda sad they only go to B. They were cute together in Houses. Seems some of the ships got turned up to 11 and others got dialed down.

Lorenz is contemplating his existence in a world where commoners don't rely on the nobility.

He's struggling to see from the commoner's POV, so he wants a commoner to serve as an advisor. Honestly, Lorenz, pretty good call.

The way Lorenz talks about Leonie and her choices, it makes it sound like history was trending towards commoners and nobles not being so rigid without Edelgard doing anything.

Leonie turns down Lorenz's offer because she wants to be a mercenary.

LORENZ & MARIANNE A SUPPORT

Lorenz wakes up after getting injured. Marianne thinks it's her fault, which I saw coming.

Lorenz thought he imagined Marianne asking for help, but she actually did.

Marianne realizes she wanted to live, hence why she called for help. So she's feeling guilty that the end result is Lorenz got hurt.

Lorenz is encouraging and is happy Marianne opened up to him.

Honestly, a better support for him than a lot of the Hopes ones.

CAMP/SIDE MAPS

Balthus is . . . really hung up on the idea of wrestling Dimitri, isn't he?

So some NPC talked about how the Kingdom is getting attacked on all fronts. I can't be the only one who finds it amusing that Dimitri with his smaller army and surrounded by enemies is doing a better job than Edelgard with her massive one lol.

When Hapi proves way smarter than Claude, knowing how massively stupid Claude's plan of "let's kill everyone they love and then force whoever is left over to listen to us! I'm sure they'll be thrilled." Hapi's like, eh, not sure this will work.

Man, Ashe is just miserable when you recruit him. I do find it kind of heartwarming in a weird way how miserable all the recruitable Lions end up being (even in Houses, moreso than the other houses at least). Ashe and Felix taking the cake, but Mercedes was regretting her life choices the last SB chapter too.

Aww, Yuri is worried about Ashe and finds Claude cruel for forcing him to fight against the Kingdom.

Holy shit, Shez really spitting facts to Claude's face, telling him his plan is a giant disaster (Dimitri won't fall for intimidation tactics, and Edelgard won't stop attacking people even after she runs out of excuses.) As insufferable as all of the Golden Deer are in this game, at least we've got stuff like this pointing out how cruel and stupid they're being.

Lamo, take only one unit into the map, as if that's a challenge. I literally only use Lorenz. This'll be easy in AG too bc Dimitri's such a beast. Dreading it in SB though.

Annette is still alive here at least :( And Rodrigue. And Gustave. (we're with the Blue Lions discussing Claude being ... GW!Claude)

Sylvain thinks Claude's an idiot lol. Dimitri and Sylvain are sussing him out.

I love how Dimitri is the only character who's goal is to avoid bloodshed among the lords. The other two are, uh, yeah.

Oh.... is Dimitri actually going to run over the church? Like I wanted? When Dimitri's the best character in GW lol.

Dimitri looking out for Sylvain, knowing how angry he is with Claude.

I had to fight Ingrid :(

SHEZ & LYSITHEA A SUPPORT

Lysithea catches Shez assuring a younger girl that she doesn't seem like a child, but an adult.

Predictably, Lysithea gets angry, because it's Lysithea, but to be fair, she's upset because Shez said the same thing and thinks Shez is being insencere.

Shez admits that it's not cool, what she did, but she's bad at advice and keeps using the same lines she's learned from stories lamo. I love Shez.

Honestly, Lysithea is kinda right to get mad here, at least I get it unlike some of the times with her.

Lamo, Shez can borrow another line from a story. I'm gonna piss her off bc I can lol.

Lysithea buys it. I wonder if it's the same line lol.

SHEZ & SHAMIR C

Having mercenary talk. I had Shez choose to ask for help. Shamir offered once she's free.

Shez comments how mature Shamir is. Shamir comments how relaxed Shez is (but it's a positive thing, not like a judgment).

They bond over having lost trusted allies, including the ones at the beginning for Shez.

Kinda boring, but honestly these two are almost too well matched, like not enough tension and just too normal lol

LYSITHEA & HILDA A

Hilda wants to gossip, but Lysithea only goes on about how awesome Holst is, so she's not interested.

She thinks he should be more careful as head of household, but Lysithea points out that he has no choice.

Hilda is worried who Holst is married. There's an ick here where Lysithea thinks that's because he's too focused on Hilda.

Hilda just talks about who Lysithea might marry, which, yeah...

Hilda offers to help Lystheia out, and some, um, implications that she'll be Lysthesia's new family - she says big sister, but there's def some ship teasing

They made Hilda really flirt with all the girls this time lol

CLAUDE & HAPI B

Hapi finds Claude easier to talk to than Edelgard and Dimitri.

Props to Hapi for telling Claude not to unload his trauma on her.

Hapi's like if you're bitching, why not just quit? Lamo.

Hapi says she'll support him.

MARIANNE & BERNADETTA A

Honestly don't remember if I've seen this in SB already or not.

Bernie likes Marianne's painting, but not her own. This is true vice versa, because of course it is.

Marianne compliments Bernie's horsemanship.

Two shy girls compliment each other, then get shy.

Then Bernie asks what Marianne wants to do after the war and Marianne becomes a Disney princess, wanting to sit in the woods with animals. Bernie wants to finish a story. Honestly, both girls picked amazing options I too want.

Bernie's story is about Marianne lamo. But Marianne isn't mad, she just wants to read it.

I really find their friendship cute, ngl.

Also, Bernie supports Dimitri, so there's no way she's NOT writing fanfic about his life because it's a never drying well there.

LORENZ & RAPHAEL C

Lorenz asks Raphael why he didn't just stay at his family's inn instead and joined the war instead

Raphael wants to keep his family safe, and thinks that following Claude will bring peace to the world (lamo) so that's why

Lorenz is more grounded, saying that all he's doing is exposing his family to the dangers of war

Which, Lorenz isn't wrong, but he also starts prattles more about nobility need to do everything and commoners nothing

But like, does Lorenz really think you can make an army out of nobles only, because, like, that just doesn't happen

Raphael is touched lamo, thinking Lorenz is concerned

Raphael just challenges him to a muscles competition

It is amusing to see Lorenz try to give his spiel and Raphael just keeps doing his own thing

Like ALL of Lorenz's supports in this game is this though, he's more repetitive than Bernedetta at this point

LORENZ & CONSTANCE A

Lorenz is bragging about himself, Constance is in the sun so she's . . . not

You know, I was thinking just how insufferable Lorenz would be in my playthrough because he's like 10 levels ahead of everyone, a god on the battlefield, always MVP - he like trounces everyone so he's be bragging and he'd be right - I wish Claude had to deal with this, watching Lorenz win the war for him and have to put up with Lorenz being Lorenz over it

They overdid it a bit with her sunshine personality - like Dimitri and Marianne are very realistic about a lack of self-worth, but Constance just comes across like a joke (and maybe that's all she's supposed to be)

Poor Lorenz is just confused and wants the normal Constance

I do have a soft spot for when male characters are desperate for the snotty side of a female character to come back (like, really just talking about Rutger and Clarine)

This is going on for too long though without any change

LYSITHEA & LEONIE B

Lysithea mistook a mercenary Leonie talked to for a bandit

But he's just someone who loot dead bodies on battlefields

I always found that kind of distasteful

Lysithea feels torn because she wants to learn about commoners more, but doesn't seem comfortable talking to people who steal coins off dead people, which same

Lysithea of course wants to know about commoner sweets

And Leonie talks about how they can't afford noble treats and likes commoner snacks (hopefully different from Chole's folk food lamo)

SHEZ & YURI C

Shez is snooping on Yuri's letter. I love that Shez is a snoop.

Yuri's pissed though, lamo. He threatens Shez's life though. That's a bit . . . much.

I'm going to pretend I didn't read it lol.

OMG YURI HAS A MOM. SOMEONE IN THIS GAME HAS A MOM.

She's ill so he was visiting her.

He's a bit needlessly sometimes.

IGNATZ & LYSITHEA B

Lysithea thinks there's something wrong with Ignatz.

She guesses right that he's unhappy, but guesses wrong that he wishes he ran his father's company instead of his brother.

He slips up that he admits he's only a knight to please his family.

Awww, Lysithea offers Ignatz the opportunity to live in Ordelia territory and does whatever he wants to afterwords.

She was actually really sweet in this support.

Also, anyone else realize that Ignatz is proof that the church/crests/inheritance isn't the one forcing children to do things they don't want to? It's human greed?

CLAUDE & HAPI A

Claude left a meeting because he was bored of people arguing. Hapi also left a meeting.

Oh, interesting, Hapi asks Claude if he would walk away if someone could take his place. Claude says no that he wants to get a lot done and can't let anyone else do it. So a really uninteresting answer.

LEONIE & LINHARDT B

Linhardt got a gift he doesn't want so he offered it to Leonie.

Lamo, Linhardt forgot the meeting he set up with Leonie.

He gives her a notebook already full, so she wants to give him something in return.

She gives him a rock that turns out to be part of an ancient relic and he gets thrilled.

Linhardt comes to the conclusion that they value the complete opposite things, but they decides they're actually not a special pairing lamo.

MAIN BATTLE

Ugh, not looking forward to this.

Wow, imagine that, the Kingdom isn't bringing them a welcoming party. Like, did Shez really expect that?

They're a bunch of psychos. They're all excited to go kill people because they're strong warriors.

"Let's see if a crushing defeat can get through Dimitri's thick skull." Because you like tried talking with him so many times before???

What is Claude smoking? He's never tried anything but bloodshed of innocent Kingdom people to accomplish anything in this route?

I see what people mean when they say this is one of the most unlikeable casts ever.

Gustave's middle name is Eddie. Not Edward. Eddie. Suffering through GW is worth knowing that.

Also, fuck, I don't want to fight Annette and Gustave, who are only defending their home.

Thank fuck, Annette retreated. Having SB flashbacks where I had to kill Annette. Annette.

And thank God that Gustave did too.

On the flip side, I sort of wish GW wasn't so wish-washy and they all died. At least SB has the guts to show there's consequences for your character's actions. But GW like to pretend only Annette and Gustave matter and it'll be ok to slaughter thousands of low born people of Faerghus every single level because they're not named.

Dimitri evacuated his citizens. I think he's literally the only lord who did that lamo. (I remember distinctly Edelgard not doing that in VW, and I don't think Claude did in CF or AM? Could be wrong about Claude).

FUCK. Dedue. If he doesn't retreat, I swear to God I can't finish this.

Oh, God, not Sylvain too.

Wait, what the fuck, Claude. His "defense" against Sylvain accusing (rightly so) Claude of invading his home and murdering his parents is that "we're all risking our lives here." I guess Faerghus is 2-for-2 whenever someone is actually allowed to criticize people who are invading them.

At least Sylvain retreated.

Dimitri appeared to defend Faerghus. I swear whoever wrote this game didn't care at all about the Golden Deer.

Oh, a cut scene. Also pretty sure Shez called Dimitri Faerghus' strongest soldier.

Well, at least Dimitri being an utter and complete badass in this game continues since Claude admitted that he could never win against him. And he needed Hilda and Lorenz to just push him back, not even defeat him.

Oh, great, more backtracking. Claude has to retreat. Does this mean I have to fight Dimitri again?

You're right, Hilda, it's the same thing all over again. God, this gets old.

It would be funny if it was the Empire, but it's probably just TWSITD. It's pretty funny Claude is the one who learns the least in Hopes vs Houses.

At least Annette and Sylvain are still alive.

Gotta love also how damn badass Faerghus is in general, fighting a 3-way battle and not losing.

Dedue is here too, my beloved.

I love seeing Claude taking another L and having to retreat again.

[luveline]

find you [tasm!peter parker x reader]

you get abducted and worry there’s no end in sight. your boyfriend peter parker rescues you. [1.3k]

warning: abduction, implied but not graphic psychological torture, hurt/comfort, reuniting, reader wears a skirt but no implied gender

requested here, thank you <3

Someone was touching you.

You curled in on yourself as best as you could manage, arms and legs too tired to move away from the probing hands. You attempted to cover your face and the manacle chained to your wrist restricted the movement, hand stopping short, metal clinking against the freezing stone floor.

You'd accepted a while ago that Peter wasn't coming to get you. Spider-Man couldn't save you - he'd no idea where you were. Your captor, unnamed, average looking and cruel, had assured you of this. When you'd begged early on to know where you were he'd mentioned that you were a few thousand miles outside of New York.

"Spider-Man won't find you. Sit tight, doll. You're with me for the long haul."

And now he was touching you. He hadn't before. He'd taunted and name called and withheld food for information you wouldn't give him, let you pass out from hunger and woke you up to watch him eat. He'd unlock the handcuff at your wrist once a day so you could use the bathroom. It was degrading. It was so sad. When you realised that Peter wasn't going to come and get you, you'd lost any willpower to go on. Better to crawl up in a ball and die on the floor than give the man who'd taken you any sick pleasure or perverse power over you.

You'd feared this moment. Evil men usually only wanted one thing, and if you wouldn't give him anything useful, he'd take something else.

You felt tears well in your eyes. The hands were at your shoulders, one pushing under your hair.

"Y/N," he said.

You stilled, too afraid to open your eyes. It was a trick. A game he was playing. Peter wasn't here.

"Y/N, are you alright? Open your eyes. It's me."

You whimpered, so tired it was barely a sound at all curling impossibly tighter. One hand pushed the hair at the back of your head flat to your scalp. "You're okay, baby."

"Don't…" you struggled for the words, face covered by one hand. You pressed your cheek closer to the floor.

"You're okay. Let me, I'm just going to check you over, okay?"

"No," you said, as loudly as you could manage.

The hands began searching anyways, turning your wrists over, pulling your shirt up. "Don't."

"I have to," he said, voice warped and high strung, "I have to."

Your skirt got pushed up from your bruising knees to your thighs. You cringed and felt your heartbeat shoot through the roof, tensing up. He pushed it down again.

"Alright," he said, having found nothing. He sounded so relieved it made you peek at him, and there he was: Spider-Man.

He must've heard your heart skip as he was suddenly turning to you, and although you still felt like it was a trick, felt so scared, it sounded like Peter. He was in the suit, your captor had never spoken to you so kindly, and it sounded like Peter.

You watched him through your fingers, apprehensive,

"Hi, baby," Spider-Man said, voice rough. You let your hand fall from your face. He edged closer to you. "It's me. It's me. It's me."

He said it like he was trying to convince himself of it, too.

"How'd you find me?" you whispered to him.

He seemed weary to touch you again but he shifted from his crouched position to kneel at your side. "I've been looking for you. I haven't stopped, I swear it to you. I never would've until I found you."

"How'd you get here?" you asked suspiciously.

He wasn't touching you now. "We're in New York."

You lifted your hand to his neck, hands so tired they shook. He was quick to realise what you were doing and thumbed the seam, pulling the mask off in one quick motion. You let yourself relax. Peter was perturbed by your sudden change in demeanour.

"Y/N?"

"It's you."

"It's me."

You smiled for the first time in days, maybe weeks, because it was him. It was Peter. He leaned over your chest, face blocking the heavy white industrial light from your eyes. The relief was tangible, your aching eyes opening properly for the first time in days.

You couldn't expend the energy to tackle him like you wanted to. Everything felt underwater, your movements sluggish as though your clothes were wringing wet and weighing you down. You felt his arm under your hand where you could reach it, trailing down to his gloved hands, squeezing his skin, desperate to feel it was him.

"Peter," you said, quietly. "Where is he?"

Peter frowned deeply. "Don't worry about him."

"He hit me. I- he was in my apartment."

"I know," he stretched his fingertips across your cheekbone, gentle against your mottled skin, "I'm so sorry."

"Why?"

"He wanted details on Spider-Man's secret identity."

"I didn't tell him who you were."

"Did he hurt you?"

Physically, no. You shook your head vehemently. "I'd never give you up."

"I know." The way he said it, it sounded like, I wish you would.

He jumped to his feet and took the chain in one hand. It was like pulling a hair from your head, you thought, how he pulled it from the wall. He was careful not to jostle you but the strength behind his action was enough to feel in your bones.

"Baby, I'm gonna pick you up."

"No," you said.

He stopped, hands stuttering at your armpits. "You can't stand. You can barely move."

You reached up. Your arms burned. Your hands felt disconnected at the wrist. You did it anyway. He took your hands, a question on his lips.

"Hug me?" you asked, voice so small. "Please?"

Peter was a rubberband pulled too tight. Your question had snapped him: he was quickly wrapping his arms around your back, pushing his head into your neck. He inhaled sharply, you could feel his chest moving against yours as you wrapped your hands around his neck as best you could, heaving with his ragged breaths.

"I'm so sorry," he said again. His eyes were hot on your skin, his lips a burn. "I'm sorry. I love you. I'm sorry," he brought his hand up to your neck, "I'll never let anything like this happen again."

"He was watching you. He followed us home," you told him.

"I know," he said. It was awful, the way he sounded. So sad. Defeated.

"He said I wasn't in the states anymore."

"We're in Brooklyn," he said, the words unfolding like a blooming flower against your tired skin, achingly comforting, "ten minutes outside Queens."

"I didn't think you'd ever find me," you said, your panic most evident.

He squeezed you so hard you worried you'd bruise or explode like a tube of toothpaste. A breathless groan felt pushed from your chest and he loosed you go, just enough to breathe.

"I'll always find you."

He pulled back to look in your face, hands on your cold cheeks, his own covered in tear tracks. "Do you understand me? I'll always find you. I don't care if you're ten thousand miles away. I don't care if I have to do it blind. You understand? I was never not going to find you."

You felt at this moment you would've cried had you any to spare. You covered his hand with yours and shut your eyes. "I'm glad. I'll persevere to stick it out until you do."

He kissed you fiercely on the temple.

"I'm gonna pick you up now, alright?"

You nodded, scooping his discarded mask up into your fingers. Peter lifted you into his arms, mouth barely opening as he said. "Alright, dove, don't you worry about putting your arms around me. I've got you. You just rest, okay?"

You pressed his mask to his chest with your eyes closed, the edges of sleep already creeping in. "Alright, Spider-Man."

mc’s departure | obey me

summary: how the brothers would react to MC returning to the human world after a year in the devildom

contains: fluff , angst , ?!!!!&;@;&:idk

♯ LUCIFER

he’s the one to see you off, reminding you of the many things he had taught you so that you’d never forget.

his pride is much too large to admit that he will miss you to death and that he loves you dearly.

after you’re gone, he’s gone for hours at a time, holed up in his room with as much as work as he can take on.

he overworks himself with the intention of getting rid of the heavy emotion on his heart.

everything reminds you of him, even the paper clip on his desk that you had once found under his bed.

he gets easily irritable, feeling rather empty now that you’ve gone and left him alone in this now quiet house.

barely leaves his room, only works.

never cries but gets quite emotional when he finds a belonging you left behind.

♯ MAMMON

he cried every single night up until your departure but never showed you that side of him once

after you left, he cried non-stop, not caring if he looked like a cry baby in front of his brother’s who watched him with pitiful eyes.

once his eyes dried up, he soon never returned home as he partied all day and night.

he forced himself to attend parties after parties in order to forget about you.

it never works because everything reminds him of you.

sometimes he sits in his car and just stares into space, wondering what you’re doing now that you’re back on earth.

literally cannot stand the mention of you or your name or he may break down.

pretends to be okay but can’t go a day without getting upset about your absence.

money soon becomes pointless when he realizes no amount of cash will bring you back to the house of lamentation.

♯ LEVIATHAN

curled up in his bath tub and cried himself to sleep.

stopped leaving his room in general, continuously playing games all day and night.

couldn’t look at his ruri-chan figures because they somehow reminded him of you and how much you used to admire them with him.

every inch of his room has your touch on it and it makes his heart ache painfully.

struggles to attend online school but manages to make it through the day by zoning out in class.

claims he doesn’t care about a normie like you but genuinely misses you

sends you messages, forgetting you can no longer contact him without your D.D.D

writes about how much he misses you on his blog fully aware you’ll never see it.

♯ SATAN

reading. that’s all he does.

he hides in his room and reads every single book he has stacked up along his room, even rereading them if he finished everything.

uses books to get his mind off of you—or more so the lack of you.

will sometimes get excited about a stray cat he sees but stops himself when he realizes he can’t tell you because you aren’t here.

gets angry. a lot.

the smallest things set him off and he can longer feign a smile when he hears your name or anything related to you.

he misses you so much that he wants to tear out his hair and rip apart all these book page by page.

his room is in shambles and he can’t seem to think straight anymore.

♯ ASMODEUS

loses his interest in everything.

forgets his skin care routine and lets himself go without caring about it.

forces himself to go to parties and tries to sleep with someone to feel better but when it fails, he stops sleeping around in general.

like mammon, he doesn’t come home often to avoid seeing the house he had lived in with you happily.

cannot forget about you no matter what he does, and that frustrates him the most.

wishes he had done something to stop you or at least slept beside you one last time.

neglects himself for a while.

♯ BEELZEBUB

poor bby isn’t hungry for once.

can’t seem to eat now that you’re not sitting beside him, giggling about something he had said.

spends a lot of his time doing weight training and exercising to get his mind off of you.

misses all the meals you used to make on the nights you were in charge of cooking.

sometimes forgets you’re not around whenever he’s about to go downstairs to eat dinner.

clings to belphie in hopes to fill the gap in his heart.

accidentally broke down your room door in an angry fit when your absence finally set in.

♯ BELPHEGOR

either he sleeps even more or somehow gets less sleep.

no matter what, he feels sluggish and blank.

locks himself in the attic, almost as if he was never released in the first place.

even though he hated humans, your absence affected him the most after he had grown to love you as a human.

nearly went demon mode on diavolo when he found out that you were being sent back to the human world.

partially wishes he never met you but cherishes his memories with you too much to ever wish for that wholeheartedly.

sleeps in your bed often to hold onto your lingering scent that was fading quickly.

complains to beel that you were nothing but a stupid human who turns their backs on demons like them, but he never means anything he says.

“Why is it so quiet in here?” Diavolo asks as he opens the front door of the House of Lamentation with Barbatos at his side. The man’s golden eyes scanned the entry hall, noticing how it was so eerily dark and quiet that it almost felt like something out of a horror movie. It felt like no one had lived here in over two thousand years. “Hello?”

Upon receiving message from Diavolo, everyone had exited their rooms for the first time in a while, looking like they were dragged through the mud. The state they were in made Diavolo jump with surprise, shocked to find that even Lucifer looked like he was ill. “What happened to you guys?!”

“What is it that you need, Lord Diavolo?” Lucifer asked as he ran a hand through his hair to compose himself a bit in front of the red haired man. “If is nothing important, may I kindly ask you to leave and return another time?”

Diavolo sighed, shaking his head lightly as he crossed his arms over his chest. “I don’t know what’s up with you guys, but I brought everyone’s favorite person along with me so sing your praises now!”

Mammon huffed, “If ya’ talking about that butler of yours, ain’t nobody care right now! We got bigger things to worry about!”

Barbatos simply smiled, taking no offense to the sly insult thrown his way.

Diavolo cocked a brow in confusion. “What? Of course not! It’s-“

The person stepped out from behind Diavolo, catching the attention of every single male in the room. The seven brother’s choked, staring at the one person they had longed for these past few days.

“[y/n]!” They shouted in unison, practically flying down the stairs to get to you. Mammon was the first to reach you, wrapping his arms around your entire body as he tackled you to the floor. The other brother’s climbed on top of you two, hugging you so tightly that you feared this would be where you’d die. “You’re back!”

Diavolo chuckled boisterously. “This is amusing! You lot are acting like you didn’t know they’d return today!” His laugh came to an abrupt stop when he saw the flat expressions coming from each and every brother. “Oh- Did I not inform you?”

“Obviously you didn’t.” Belphegor scoffed with a roll of the eyes, burying his face in the crook of your neck to inhale your scent. “[y/n]...”

“Ya can’t ever leave again! I’ll seriously get angry at ya if this happens again! Ya either go to the human world with me or ya don’t go at all!” Mammon snapped, cupping your cheeks while getting dangerously close to your face to yell at you.

“I’ll severely punish you if you ever leave this manor without giving me a heads up as to where you’re off to. You’re not just an exchange student anymore. You’re special.” Lucifer explained, a panicked glint in his tired eyes as he reached out to pat your head gently with his gloved hand.

Satan sighed, pressing his forehead against your back. “If you leave again, I don’t know if I’ll be able to control my emotions, so don’t leave.”

The avatar of lust whined loudly, “my beautiful self can’t handle a life without you! Don’t ever go anywhere without me again!” He clutched onto her waist tightly.

“Don’t... Don’t go anywhere.” Leviathan said with a sad frown on his lips as he held your hand, bringing it up to rest against his cheek. “It’s so empty without you.”

“Let’s eat dinner together, [y/n].” Beel suggested, his voice full of emotions as he drooled at the thought of dinner with you.

A million emotions ran through your veins as you sat there, basking in the warmth of their touch. It was overwhelming to receive so much love all at once but it was amazing.

A smile slowly crept onto your lips as you leaned into their touch, enjoying the way they clung to you as if you’d disappear any moment now. “I missed you guys, too.”

“What a lovely reunion!” Diavolo exclaimed happily, snapping a view blurry photos on his D.D.D to send to the group chat later.

After the heartfelt moment, they quickly disappeared upstairs to fix up their appearance before rushing downstairs to the kitchen where you stood. They clung to you like bugs to a light, hounding you about your sudden departure, only to find out that you had gone up there with Diavolo and Barbatos to help the man experience human world activities he had never gotten to try before. Diavolo was sure he had told them that but seeing as they were genuinely distressed, he assumed the message never reached.

Even though they were beyond pissed with Diavolo and his carelessness, they were just glad you were back. Them being here with you really was their idea of a perfect life.

a/n: UH YEA K GOODNIGHT

[veritasumbra]

our arrangement. as if mor has had an actual say in the matter. she had no idea she was betrothed until that engagement party disguised as a regular one.

that day, she’d forced a smile as people congratulated her on an upcoming marriage she’d never wished for herself. her heart was pounding as her eyes searched the room for the servant girl that occupied her thoughts. the lovely briar was nowhere to be found. she found azriel, though, hazels darkening as he glares at—— keir. oh no. she knew what would happen if she didn’t stop this. it was not that she didn’t wish her father dead — she very much did wish him gone. but azriel had finally been torn away from the illyrian war camp that had brought him misery and he’d managed to get appointed as the princess of the night court’s personal guard.  there was no way she was gonna let him ruin his life. not like this. not for her. but before she could make her way through the crowd and get to him, rhys had placed a hand on the shadowsinger’s shoulder, giving it a firm squeeze. she’d nodded at her cousin to thank him for handling the situation before she’d been dragged away by her mother adalind who’d drug her sharp nails into her arm all the while smiling at their guests. she’d then whispered to her ear that her little friend would be as good as dead if she even thought of running away with the lesser fae that he was and make a fool of this family. her mother should’ve kept her mouth shut. because she’d unknowingly planted a seed in her daughter’s clever brain. maybe freedom wasn’t so out of reach. maybe there was a way out of this engagement after all. she couldn’t do this to azriel (she cared too much for his safety and she knew he wasn’t interested in anyone that way), but there were plenty of illyrian warriors out there who would be excited to bed a virgin high fae…

he says she’s a smart girl. it feels condescending coming from him. girl. as if he knows that’s who she becomes when he walks in. without looking, she feels azriel (still hidden) moving closer. she gazes his way from the corner of her eye, sending a silent command. he retreats. she calls the shots. always. that doesn’t stop him from being restless, though. he’s battling his own emotions whilst feeling hers as well. on top of that, he’s got a traumatic past with fire —and the scars to prove it— and standing in a room with a fire wielder does him great disservice. 

they both still at his answer. of course, it’s no surprise eris wants the crown. no. what stunned them is how he wishes for his mother’s freedom. and how he’s willing to plot his father’s murder to achieve it. mor leans back, summoning a satisfied grin once the shock has melted away from her face. ❛ oh, eris dear, be careful or i’ll actually believe you have a heart. ❜ she pouts, leaning closer, the palm of her hand laying flat against the map. ❛ and yet you were willing to let me die because i chose freedom over you… ❜ this doesn’t add up, her inner voice whispers as she studies his expression. ❛ you cannot say you never wished for this marriage whilst spitting your venom about how disrespectful i have been of this arrangement and then leaving me to die in your woods. ❜  what he says doesn’t make any sense. she’s angry and lost and desperate for answers. ❛ you don’t get to say you punished and saved me all at once! you could’ve reached out, you could’ve sent someone. anyone! to help me or finish me off or whatever, but you did not. tell me why! ❜ she’d grabbed him by the collar, yanking him closer. she’s done playing games. she waited too long to let him play her like violin. she’s not a scared little girl anymore. she is the morrigan. the brown color in her eyes has melted into a mesmerizing gold. like ichor. the blood of the gods. the ravenshades fancy themselves has descendant of war, wisdom and fate personified. nowadays, most people think they’re just delusional and power hungry, for no one alive has seen the displays of such power. but maybe the tales of their divine heritage were true after all.

❝ your attitude toward our arrangement did not necessitate such respect. ❞ eris says this as a formality, even if he does not truly mean it in its cruel entirety. in private, he can admit he did not much care for her tryst with the illyrian. nor the offence it had wrought to his name, but beron had been livid, and so eris had issued a statement and called off the engagement. her command now, then, is no less sharp than a knife, cutting him from mind to rib, spilling the secrets he’d buried away in the coffin of his heart. jaw is clenched, hazel eyes narrowed; he does not want to explain himself to her, because it is a ghost of a past and because it does not matter, and because he’d rather have her hatred fueling his reputation. ❝ you're a smart girl. you must realize that, had i welcomed you, we would both have been bound by an obligation neither you nor i wanted, and your brief stay would’ve been extended. ❞ it’s as veiled a statement as he can manage, whilst forced to divulge honesty. he does not tend to dwell on that day – his decision had been practical. in the deepest recesses of his mind, he might even admit he had been doing her a kindness. death would have been a fate kinder than being a lady at autumn.

the shifting dark curls into the corners, for the walls have eyes and ears. it is an indignity, he realizes, for it is not just mor he is entertaining with these tales, but rhysand's shadowsinger, too. he cannot decide whether he finds the gesture infuriating or intriguing, or both, and he reminds himself he'd come in good faith — he needed the night court's aid as much as they required his insight, so he endures. one leg crossed over a knee, the prince leans back and rests his chin in his hand, the portrait of arrogance. a sigh is ripped from his throat before he responds to her prompt, ❝ i'd rather avoid a war that leaves me playing two fronts, between prythian and my father. most of all, i’d rather be governing the court with my rightful title, beron's head on a plate, and my mother freed of him. ❞ try as he might to shape his answers into political remarks and discussion on the precarious situation with the mortal queen and his father's alliance with her, which remained the primary topic of this exchange between him and the night court, he had been unable to swallow back that bit of vulnerability.

giving the morrigan any shred of leverage over him gave her entire court, in turn, a bargaining chip to play him. slivers of flames dance in his irises, though he douses his anger and smelts it into a practised nonchalance, 'lest he gifts her more of his dignity. ❝ i would not debase myself to your court, as i do now, for anything less. ❞

So I’ve been playing dead by daylight recently and searching fan art of the game so now I’m horny for slashers. Here’s a fic of pyramid head

Warning: noncon/dubcon, 18 +, explicit. Read at own risk

Pyramid Head x reader

I woke right beside a generator and quickly rushed towards it. I hated when the trail started, I’m sure everyone does. And this place always made me more uncomfortable than any other. The killer being Pyramid Head gave me the hardest time. I’m used to getting caught and hooked but not caught and fondled. He’d know exactly where I was and always chased after me as if I was the only here. I wanted to get out of this school as quickly as I could. “Hey.” Feng whispered as she came to help me with the generator. I nodded her way and she told me she saw Pyramid Head on the other side of the school last. She knew I had the worst time with him. I heard the start of another generator across the hall, I guess that was the other survivors. Feng and I were close to finishing but when I saw Meg and Jake run pass the classroom my heart instantly sank and I felt uneasy. We’re they being chased. My heart beat thumped loudly in my ears and Feng and I both knew Pyramid Head was coming. But we didn’t even bother leaving the generator, we were so close.

Feng gasped and looked above me. I felt my body yanked and slammed against one of the desk in the room. Pyramid Head wrapped his hand around my neck, choking the life out of me. Feng flashed her flashlight in his face and he let me go, shielding himself from the light. I gasped and coughed, rolling off the desk and running away. I heard Feng cry out and she sprinted out the room limping and trailing blood. I helped her down the corridor and we rounded a corner to the infirmary and I covered her mouth as she cried in pain. When my heart beat stopped pounding in my ears I instantly healed her up. Using some of my clothing to bandage her wound. “Thank you Feng. Can you continue or do you need a minute?” She shook her head and stood up like she was never hurt. “Let’s go, we have one generator left.” And right as she said that we heard the doors turn on. They fixed all of the generators? Jake and Meg were really good at the generators. We left the infirmary and headed towards the Teachers room we’re we met up with Jake. “Hey! This way!” He beckoned us over and we rushed over to him. He led us to the doors that was already being opened by Meg.

My heart beat again thuddd in my ear and everyone scattered. Well everyone except Meg. She bravely stayed opening the gate even while Pyramid Head approached her. “Meg! Run!” I yelled at her. The killer turned his huge cone head towards my voice and began walking towards me. I ran down the corridor, his large very oversized sword dragging against the floor as he chased me. He was slow but not as slow as Michael. I heard the blaring sound of the gate opening. If I could just get around him I’ll be free. I ran up the stairs to the second floor and entered the equipment room. Hiding in the corner. I panted and tried to steady my breathing as I heard his sword clanging against the stairs as he came up. Should I have ran further? Maybe, but it was too late for that now. I didn’t hear the dragging of metal, I know he was on this floor. My heart still thudded in my ears, so I know he was close. I closed my eyes and tried to calm down. He was absolutely terrifying. My legs shook and my body dripped in sweat. Calm down, you’ll get out of this. Just relax. I took a deep breath in and out. But I nearly lost my shit when a hand clasped over my mouth. I opened my eyes wide and panicked but calmed down when I saw it was Jake. He put a finger to his lips to shush me. I nodded and he took his hand away from my mouth. He led me out of the room and down the stairs. We crouched and crept to the door. Jake stopped when he heard clanging infront of us. He pushed me against the wall and pressed his body over mine, caging me in between his arms as we hid from Pyramid Head. My chest touched his as I took heavy breaths. “Listen. He’s just going to keep going after you so I’ll distract him and you run to the door okay.” Jake said. He looked into my eyes and smiled a little. “No, I can’t let you do that. You could be killed.” I replied back. Our whispering was pretty loud but the tension only grew when we heard the killer again. “I’ll be right after you. I’m only going to run around the floor once and head straight for the door right after.” He said. I shook my head which made Jake frown. “Do you want to get out of this alive or what? We can’t just argue until he gets us. Now when I say run, you run. Got it.” He was stern and his tone was deep. As if talking to a child. I just sighed and nod my head in agreement.

Jake peeked out the door and motioned me to follow him. We continued to crouch towards the door. When we were close to the door we heard running. Fast, heavy thudding footsteps coming right at us. We turned around and saw Pyramid head sprinting. Since when?! We scrambled to our feet but Jake tripped over his laces. When I went to go help him back up he pushed me. “Run!” He yelled at me right before the sword pierced through his body. The sword even went through the floor. Jakes blood quickly spilled and touched my boots. I pushed myself back as Pyramid Head stepped towards me. I turned around and tried to run but he grabbed me by my hair. I was so close. The gate was right there. I cried, kicked and screamed as he dragged me down the corridor. He dragged me into the teacher room by the stairs and forced me over the desk. My face against the desk while his other hand held my hip. I gasped and jumped when I felt something grinding on my ass. His hand tore my shirt from where I had ripped it to help Feng. He grabbed my bra and tugged on it a couple of times. “Wait! What are you doing?! Stop!” I tried to push myself up but he was definitely stronger than me. The little muscle I had and height couldn’t even compare with him. He was a real beast. He pulled my bra this time making the fabric rip, the wire underneath cut my skin and it came off. He grunted, pleased to see my exposed back. Trailed his huge hand down my spine. Gurgles coming from the inside of his ‘head’, as if trying to speak.

He released my hair and my body. When I tried to get up he pushed me back but still didn’t hold me down. “Agh!” I cried at the force. I tried getting up again and he slammed me harder into the wood. I stayed still knowing if I moved he would just do the same thing. He wanted me to be against the desk but didn’t want to hold me down. After a couple of second of obeying him he raked his nails down my back. Digging into my skin enough to draw blood as his hands trailed from my shoulders down to the dimples above my ass. I kept silent, crying to myself as the pain of his nails nearly had me kicking. I forced myself to stay still. I felt the flat end of that pyramid on his head drag the blood down my back, playing with it and painting my skin in my own blood. His hands came beside my body on the desk and he bang to grind his bulge against my ass again. His grinding turned into humping. He pushed up my skirt and put his hand back on the desk and humped my ass, his bulge hitting right at my covered heat. He was rough and pushed my body into the desk, making the desk shake every time his hips slammed against my butt.

I was undeniably wet. My vagina enjoying the teasing of him trying to fuck me through our clothes. Well what ever it was he wore. I whimpered and held back my moans. My hands covering my mouth. I shouldn’t be enjoying this. His humps got faster and I couldn’t hold back anymore. I moaned out and he pressed a hand to my lower back keeping me and the desk steady as he continued to thrust against my vagina. I heard small sounds of pleasure, grunts and groans, coming from him. Of course he was enjoying this. It was sick. What got him all riled up? Was it the killing? It couldn’t be? He didn’t do this to anyone else. But how would I know? I wouldn’t tell anyone about this. Did he does this to Meg, Claudette, or Feng? Would he even care whether if they were male or female? I was taken away from my thoughts when I felt his finger slide against my panty. I gasped and squirmed away, covering my breast and crawling on my ass. He growled angrily. He pointed to the desk and I shook my head. “Just kill me!” I rather die then go any further. He grunted and pointed at the desk again. “No!” I yelled. He stomped over to me and grabbed my arm. I yelped and stared at the pyramid as if looking at his face and whimpered. He pulled me up and brought me back to the desk. Gurgling and squishy sounds emanating from the Pyramid. It made me cringe. He was clearly trying to speak. He pointed to the desk once more and released my arm.

I shook my head no and he pushed me. He kept pushing me. Trying to make me to lay on the desk on my own. As he pushed and shoved me he growled. “Okay! Okay!” I yelled at him. I bent over but he lifted me back up and shook the Pyramid left and right, ‘no’. He didn’t want me in that position anymore. I used one hand to jump on the desk and lean back. He let out an approved grunt. He knelt down and the metal pyramid touched the bottom of my breast. He pushed my thighs up and apart. I stared at the ceiling and tried to remove myself mentally. Thinking of my new friends. Knowing that they’re back at camp, probably wondering where I was but safe until another trial. I gasped and nearly sat up when in felt something long and wet swipe across my slit. The pyramid vibrated as if he was laughing. His fingers moved my panty to the side but he still ripped them. His hand then came up and grabbed mine. I flinched away but he grabbed them again, gently this time. Entangling his fingers in mine, I let out a shuddered moan when the wet appendage licked my exposed folds. My hips bucked slightly and my legs rested on the edge of the desk. Did he really have a tongue? Does that mean he has a head? No, at least I don’t think so. The Pyramid was too narrow for anyone to wear.

He licked up and down my folds until his tongue slipped passed them and found my clit. “Mmmm!” I squealed through my closed lips. His right hand left my hand and used my arousal to soak his dirty fingers. I felt disgusted having him touch me like this but it did feel good. He was gentle this time. Unlike when he was humping me. I’d soon eat my words when he forced two fingers into my vagina at once. I cried and grit my teeth. My free hand pushing at his head while my other hand squeezed his. He grunted and I felt the wet muscle poke my clit. Flicking at my clit teasingly making me moan. His fingers scissored my hole, stretching me out. It felt uncomfortable since he was a big and thick man thing. His fingers moving in and out of me, the sounds of my wet pussy filled my ears. I squirmed underneath him and he groaned. His ‘tongue’ or whatever it was entered my hole between his fingers. It was longer, really long, and it licked my insides so nicely. My eyes rolled back and his fingers slowly slid out of me, holding my thigh as his tongue are me out. I felt my stomach sink in but also expand as my bladder filled up. I know that feeling. As many times as I loved it I hated it now. “Please stop I don’t want to.” I cried. He just continued and massaged my thigh. My arousal dripping down his chest and I was so close to cumming on him. He growled and the vibration sent me over. My back arched as much as it could and I cried out, I squirted over him and he pulled his tongue out. Tears streamed down my face and my legs closed when he stood up again.

I heard that thing he wore fall to the floor. He was now naked and I couldn’t look away from him. If he was clean I would be able to appreciate the massive body he owned but he was dirty and covered in blood. When I looked down I panicked when I saw the size of his cock. That’s not normal. No. Get it away from me. “Enough please! Just kill me!” I kicked his chest as he tried to grab my legs. “No! No! Stop! I said stop!” I kicked the Pyramid and he stumbled back. Groaning in pain. I guess I hit a sensitive spot. Of course I did, that heavy thing attached to his body was bound to be sore on his neck and shoulders and I’m sure it could never come off. “Please kill me, I want to see my friends.” I said. I was tired of this. This wasn’t apart of the trails. It was just escape or be killed. Why was he doing this? He shook his head and grunt, coming back towards me. His hands groped my boobs and I gave up. I was too afraid to kill myself and he wasn’t going to do it until after he had his way with me. He pinched my nipples, I whinced in pain and he immediately let go. My legs wrapped around his hips as he pressed his bare cock over my clit. Grinding on me and he played with my breast. He moved his chest closer and the pyramid lightly sat over my head. He grabbed my hand and put it on his chest. My hand touched his body. It was a beautiful body, too bad it was dirty, the scars that was on him made it more beautiful. He moved my hand down to his nipple and I grazed it lightly. Feeling it becoming hard at my touch. I took a deep breath and sat up. He moved back and I used both of my hands to touch him. His cock throbbing at my soft hands. Tracing his veins, the sculpt of his abs, the definition of his arms, appreciating his massive form. He pulled my waist towards his body, the thing I assumed was his tongue came out and licked my cheek. I shivered and let him lick my face. Sucking in my lips when it got too close. His hands held my head gently and he brushed back my untamed hair.

He pushed me back onto the desk and slowly spread my legs. He positioned his cock at my hole and I stared off at a wall. Not wanting to watch him take my virginity. But he wasn’t having that. He turned my head by my chin and made me stare at the nonexistent head that was replaced with an oversized metal cone. He pushed in and my teeth gritted. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I chanted in my head. He was huge, too big for me but he kept forcing himself in. His hips clapped against mine but his cock didn’t even go inside. It slipped up, he spread my legs wider and tried again. He slipped again and let out an irritated gurgle. “I-it won’t fit.” He nodded yes, as if saying ‘yes it will.’ I shut up and let him try again. This time he used his hand to steady himself so his dick wouldn’t move anywhere. The tip slowly moving in, I whinced and cried as the stretched became unbareable. He was spliting me apart, I wasn’t as prepared for this as I hoped I was. His two fingers didn’t even compare. He growled as he moved in further, scratching my thighs and leanig his head back. I watched his dick sink into me and I even saw the outline of his cock through my skin. Blooding dripping down his balls and my ass as he tore my hole. I mentally thanked my parents for giving me my body, I couldn’t imagine being smaller and trying to accommodate to his size. I mean to him I was of course still small but it wasn’t so bad. He let go of my thighs and put his hands beside my torso, clawing the desk, the wood chipped under his nails. I wiggled my hips trying to pleasure myself and he immediately pressed a hand over my hip. I whined when he stopped me. Again he gurgled, why did he keep doing that, I can’t understand him. He stayed still and massaged my body. Soothing the pain from me. He was all the way in, our bodies connected. I suddenly just realized that my heart wasn’t thudding like it would normally if the killer was close. It was quiet. My body eased as if there was no threat. The warmth of his hands caressing my body.

“Please move.” I begged him. Glancing off into the distance before looking back at him. He slowly brought his hips back and slowly pushed back in. I felt my slick gush as he moved, feeling myself getting wetter just from one thrust. He grunted and picked up the pace. “Ahh, please more.” My hand reached out to his chest and he held my hand. Fucking me faster. My eyes rolled back and I bite my bottom lips, smiling to myself as my body was encased in pleasure. He groaned and held my hips as he began to go harder. Pounding away at me like I was some doll, but when i slapped his chest and cried out he slowed down. Rubbing his tongue over my cheek as an apology. I nodded and his tongue licked my nipples. I didn’t feel much at my boobs but knowing that his tongue was there sent shivers down my spine and euphoric shocks through my body. His dick abusing my cervix giving me beautiful pain.

“Mm! Oh fuck! Good! Feels good!” I praised him. His hands tightened at my hips and he bucked harshly but went back to his original pace. “You’re making me feel so good.” I continued to praise him. He let out a gargle that sounded like he was happy. He likes the praises? “Yes! Just like that, right there! Ahh! Yes!” I moaned. He felt amazing. My hand moved down to my clit but he moved it to his shoulder. He put his thumb in my mouth and dragged it over my teeth, gums and tongue. I sucked on it and got another groan from him. He pulled his thumb out and placed it on my clit. Fucking me as he rubbed my sensitive bud. “Oh shit!” I yelled. My eyes squeezed shut as an overwhelming feeling of pleasure hit my body. My insides felt like mush, my pussy felt sore and numb but the way his dick hit my cervix just proved how much my body loved it. The way I moaned, panted and yelled was music to him. My body convulsed under him as I came again. My mouth hung open in a silent cry as I came on his cock. He didn’t stop, he fucked me through it. But he did go faster. The desk moving under us, it was really loud. Pushing the desk towards the wall as he fucked me relentlessly. Rearranging my guts and making me stupid over his dick. I babbled nonsense and my body was numb and weak under him. Using me however he pleased just to get himself off. Making sounds like an animal as he brutalized my pussy. It was overwhelming. Why did I like it? Why was I enjoying it? Please stop. “Don’t stop.” I panted. The fuck was wrong with me? His tongue licked my lips and I opened my mouth letting it in. Tasting blood as he explored my mouth. Using his tongue to fuck my mouth.

He slammed into me. Again and again and again. He was close, his thick cock throbbed inside me and his hips stuttered once. His tongue still down my throat. I moaned over it and sucked on it. His thumb rubbed my clit again and I bucked my hips. It was so sensitive, he made me jump and move. My orgasm built up again. My bladder filling with fluid as I felt my stomach tighten. I choked on his tongue and gasped when he removed it. He pulled out and rubbed my clit faster and I squirted again as he shot his cum over my body. My hole clenched around nothing as I came. I shudder, shook and cried out. I bucked wildly and my eyes crossed. He pressed my hips down to help me relax. I panted and took deep breaths to help me get over my orgasm. When I finally relaxed he scooped his cum on his finger and put it in my mouth. My tongue lapped it up like it was an icicle. Moaning slightly just to please him. He groaned and stroked my cheek. He then left the room. Coming back with his blood stained sword. I dropped to my knees and waited for him kill me. He pulled me up to my feet and pat my head. Just do it! I yelled in my head. He brought the sword up to my neck and slowly sliced my jugular. Gagging on my blood, the pain was unimaginable.

I woke up at camp, my clothes back on and no evidence of what happened on me. “YN! Jesus Christ what took you so long?!” Feng ran over to me. I stayed silent and just curled up into fetal position.
