Can you write about Noah and super short reader? I'm 4'11 🥺. Maybe he walks in on reader either climbing on the counter to reach something or standing on the counter looking for a snack. He starts keeping step stools in every room.

She wears his shirts like a dress with fishnets and doc martens on the regular.

Maybe they do the tiktok trend of 'showing my dog places they've never seen' but it's you being lifted by him to see above the fridge and other high places 😂

Ok, so a good while back I wrote about this exact same thought and someone made a drawing of Noah picking reader up so she can look over the fridge, but I can't find it for the life of me :((((( Anyways, I love this concept soo much!!!

Warnings: this is just fluff!

WC: 1.4k (a shortie, like the reader)

My requests are closed for now!

Noah has walked in on you climbing on things to reach somewhere or something way too many times. He's always made a mental note to keep a little step stool for you, to avoid the risks of you falling, but he actually never got around to it.

Deep down, he knows it's because he loves helping you. Loves thinking that you can rely on him to always do this one thing for you.

But, one day, he had to draw the line. You were cleaning his room, dusting the shelves and the frames he kept on the wall. The thing is, he hung them too high for you to reach, So, without thinking twice, you rolled his computer chair to where you needed it, and stepped on top of it.

You were humming some random tune under your breath, when you heard an alarmed voice behind you.

"Are you out of your mind?"

You got startled and felt the chair start to swivel and roll to the side, making you lose balance. Before you could fall to the floor, Noah was beside you, grabbing you by the hips and landing you on the ground safely.

"Oh my God! Why did you have to scare me?", you scolded him, giving him a little slap on the shoulder, trying to regain your composure after almost faceplanting on the floor.

"Why on earth would you stand on top of a rolling computer chair?", he questioned you, voice exasperated and eyes still wide from your almost accident.

"I was trying to clean the frames", you pointed to the various frames on the wall to get your point across.

"I saw that! But you need to be more careful. God knows what would've happened of I didn't catch you", he was still agitated, and that was agitating you.

"I would've been fine! I almost fell because YOU scared me!", you gestured with your hands, voice becoming a little louder.

Noah sighed out loud, rubbing his forehead with his fingers.

"Ok, maybe I shouldn't have startled you, but your idea was not the brightest", he tried to reason.

"I'm used to doing this. I've had to climb stuff my whole life to reach certain things", you turned around to resume your cleaning when Noah grabbed you by the hips.

"I'm sorry, ok? I don't mean to be a dick", he put both hands on your shoulder and started to massage them. "It's just that I worry about your well-being"

You relaxed into his touch, the tenseness leaving your body instantly.

"I know that. But the word is a very different place for someone who's 4'11''. You're 6'4'', things are way easier for you", you didn't mean to complain, but you did huff a little when you said this out of frustration.

"I know, I know", he pecked you on the lips. "I'm sorry, ok?", he looked you in the eyes, wanting you to know that he was being sincere.

"It's ok, I forgive you", you circled your arms around his middle and rested your cheek on his clothed chest. "I'm never standing on top of a rolling chair ever again".

"Not, you're not. Because I'm getting you a step stool instead", said and you whined.

"Noah, no. That's embarassing", you frowned at the ideia. You weren't a 12 year old anymore.

"What's more embarassing, a step stool, or going to the hospital, looking like a fool, because you fell from a chair?", he raised both of his eyebrows at you, as if to challenge you. You thought for a minute, but you knew he was right.

"Ok, you can get me a step stool. But it has to be foldable so I can hide it, and I won't step on it if people are watching", he smiled at your remarks, but actually impressed that you gave in so easily.

"I'll still grab things for you when I'm around", he put both hands on your back, rubbing them up and down.

"You better", you rested your head against him once again. "I'm tired of cleaning, you stressed me out. Let's go lay on the couch".

He laughed at your jab at him, but grabbed you by the hand, leading you out of the room, switching the light off and closing the door behind you.

"Let's go. I can grab you some snacks from the top shelf", you slapped him lightly on the back, as he expected, and his laugh only intensified. He couldn't see you you, but you were also sporting a big smile on your face.

"I want the Doritos"

Everything has been going well since you made your deal with Noah. The day after the almost accident, he went out and bought you the step stoll, and you've been biting your tongue to admit that it was actually a great decision.

One day, when you were laying on the couch, casually strolling on your phone, you heard Noah coming down the stairs. He was working on some songs on his computer - or that's you thought he was doing - and you usually left him alone for that.

He stood in front of you, and you looked at him over the top of your phone. He didn't say anything, but he had a smile on his face that you weren't sure if you liked. Locking you phone and dropping it on your lap, you asked:

"What?"

"I saw this trend on TikTok and I wanted to do it with you", he had an expression on his face that told you you might not like this.

"Noah, you don't even have TikTok"

"I have a TikTok", he said this a little lower, hoping you wouldn't hear it.

"You have a TikTok?"

"I do", he averted his gaze from you.

"Since when do you have a TikTok?", you asked. He was unbelivable.

"That's not important right now. Have you seen this trend where owners pick their dogs up to show them places they haven't seen before?"

"Yes, I have. It's adorable", you anwered and side-eyed him at the same time.

"I wanted to do it for you", he said and waited for your answer. You just looked at him with an unreadable expression.

"Are you comparing me to a dog?", you deadpanned, and saw his expression change immediately.

"No, baby, of course not. I just thought it would be cute"

"Yeah", you hummed, as if in thought". "It would actually be cute", you agreed.

"So you'll let me do it?", he asked, but was already opening his camera app on his phone.

"Yeah, I will, But we won't post it", you said, getting uo from the couch.

"What do you want to see first?", he asked.

"The top of the fridge", you walked to the kitchen and he followed after you. You positioned yourself and Noah propped the phone on the wall behind the fridge, the phone sitting on top of it.

"Ok, so I'll grab you by the hips and lift you up", he instructed and you nodded.

He tried picking you up the first time, but you started giggling, remembering the dog videos you watched. The movent threw him off and you landed back on your feet.

"What's so funny?", he asked, looking at you.

"I'm just remembering the dog videos. They look so confused, it's so funny", you giggled once more.

"Ok, I'll try it again", he picked you up once more and you were finally able to see on top of the fridge. When you saw it though, you let out a big gasp.

"What is it?", Noah asked you.

"Oh my God, Noah. It's so dusty up in here. I need to clean this right now", you exclaimed, running your finger over the top and seeing the trail it left behind.

"You gotta show me other places right now, because our house is dirty and I didn't even know it", you said and made your way to the bathroom. "C'mon, you gotta show me the top of the bathroom's upper cabinet"

Noah didn't even know what to say, he just followed after you, with a smile on his face at how absolutely adorable you were.

So the day went by like this, him showing you the top part of places and you insisting you clean them. But he didn't let you use the step stool this time, adamant on holding you, using the excuse that he didn't go to the gym, so this was him working on his biceps.

You were more than happy to feel the tight grip of his big hands around your waist.

We made it to states on a wild card placement, and the chances of that were like 2 percent! TWO, and we got it!!! I am very happy. I got 2 superior awards and 1 excellence award. However the downside is that it's in Detroit, but it's ok because my best friends are going to watch so yippeeee

OMG that's amazing, I'm so excited for you!!! Please keep me updated and tell me how it goes!

Three Hearts Anon

So if I'm understanding correctly, you can't go to therapy because of something your aunt did? I mean I don't know the whole situation but...I don't think you should sacrifice your mental health to protect her. Like...you're the kid in this situation, you know? You deserve to get help.

Also I promise you that everyone you love does not hate you. I have definitely felt like that before and I get how it feels all-consuming, but there are people who care aboutyou, I swear <3

________________

Angry Anon

Hello, Cas! Angry anon here lol

I want to say THANK YOU for taking the time to reply!! It helped me quite a bit to calm down.

I started writing fanfics for the first time and also made some art that people liked even tho they were pretty messy :D It helped me vent A LOT. I could even talk about stuff that could potentially trigger other people but in fanfics they're just there (like eating habits).

I feel guilty talking about stuff with friends. I think I weight them down and they already have their own problems to deal with, I hate being another one of those.

My situation still kinda sucks but for the first time in like two weeks they actually let me sleep for six hours three days in a row ayy, I think that's improvement (?)! I think one of the reasons I was so upset was them not letting me rest at all, it's different if someone stays up so late and wake up in the middle of the night and has to go places early morning because they just do but was kinda frustrating that I needed to do that because they didn't give me any other choice.

Anyway, I also tried the paper crumpling, didn't really work for me and there's no rage rooms nearby but I put googly eyes on my phone and that somehow worked?? Idk

I might vent here occasionally (you're free to ignore it if you feel like it) but yeah, thanks

Hi! I'm so proud of you for finding ways to cope! Writing and drawing are amazing ways, and though I've never tried putting googly eyes on my phone- if it works and it doesn;t hurt anyone I'm all for it! I'm also really glad you've gotten some sleep <3 Keep it up with the healthy coping!

Also yes, you are always allowed to vent here <3

Unnamed Anon

Hey cas

I'm not gonna use my anon name cause I feel kinda bad about this but.

Backstory- I think I might be bi? But I live in a very religious very homophobic community and I'm not interested in dating yet ( Honestly im super confused) so I'm not out. And I probably won't be. Which is. A whole other thing.

But. This girl (I'm a girl) I've had a crush on for the longest time. I think she's straight. Anyway I really like her. And like... romantically, platonically, however she'll have me, pathetic I know but she's amazing. I applied to the college she's going to just... because of her. Which no one knows. But anyway.

She was dating this guy. I never met him. I only knew in passing. And she apparently just broke up with him. And like, secretly I'm a little happy. Which I feel terrible about! But she's handling it okay, not heartbroken, and it means she has more time for me (it's not like she'd date me now, she's just not doing boyfriend stuff) So idk. I just feel confused and yucky.

Side note, it means she probably doesn't have a prom date? She'll probably get one cause she's super pretty and amazing and everything but like... idk. The delusion lives on.

Even if she wasn't straight and I was out, she's kinda out of my league. I think I'll never forget her tho.

Thanks for being you

Hi <3 I think it's absolutely okay and natural to feel confused about all this, especially with your upbringing. But please know that none of what you're feeling is wrong or bad- even the mixed feelings about your crush's breakup!

Honestly, I think we've all felt like that before- a bit happy (and a bit guilty for feeling happy) when something like this happens. It's not like you're celebrating over a tragedy like a death or a fire or anything like that. You're not even outwardly celebrating! If it was one of those things, then I might say you should feel guilty. But you're not, so please don't beat yourself up. If it makes you feel any better, once I asked a guy out like four hours after he broke up with his girlfriend bc I was so excited he was single...it happens.

You know, I'm quite glad that we're getting the fanon vs canon concerning Elu Thingol and the Sindar in general into focus a bit. When I first came to Tumblr, it felt to me as though I were just about the only one who cared about him (which of course was never the case, but I at least had no-one to talk to about my elf).

But there's a stale note to it- that it seems there must be more fighting, and hardened fronts, more never-ending discussions that always burn down to one thing- do we accept canon or not.

And really, I don't want to go down that road anymore. I really don't want to spend so much time quoting and explaining and re-reading to make sure I get my argumentation right only to have the other side say stuff like 'yeah, true, but I still get a different vibe so I'm gonna ignore canon and keep hating'

And while I really want to emphasise that there is nothing (!) whatsoever wrong with feeling a story, feeling characters and liking or disliking them (yes, happens to me, too. Canonically, Aredhel has done absolutely nothing wrong, and yet I really dislike her), basing actual character-bashing on these 'vibes' is a problem. Excluding people who defend their favourite characters with CANON from discussions. Making up yet more hateful fanon. Accusing people of certain political beliefs because they like the Sindar (and yeah, I did delete a lot of what I've written here. It just... this makes me so so is angry, but starting to insult people is not what I want for this post, so I deleted, and sat on my fingers until I was able to pick up civil tones again).

But I can't change it. I can't change what other people think, and who knows, maybe I'm no more right than they are. Maybe there is no right. Maybe we could accept that this fandom is vast enough for ALL OF US?

So dear fellow Sindar-stans, let's stop arguing and fill Tumblr instead with the content you want to see. Share your headcanons, write your fanfictions, draw and share your fan art.

Let's discuss it all, dive deep. Comment on the works you like, ask for things to be written. Yeah, I have an obsession with character death, I find grief and mourning an incredibly beautiful thing to write and read about, and as I kill off my favourite characters in general, Elu Thingol's death is my prime motive. (who would have guessed, ey? 🤣) And I'd love to read it from time to time, rather than always write it myself. But that is my very specific hyper fixation and understandably not everyone's cup of tea. But give me all those tender moments of love and friendship and loyalty. Give me the conversations between Elwë, Olwë and Elmo on the journey, give me Daeron's backstory, give me Mablung and Beleg standing unwavering behind their king. Give me drunk Elu and Melian and HER found family. Give me an insight into Nimloth's head. Give me loving reaper-like comics with Elurín and Eluréd and Námo Mandos. And hell, yes, all you talented artists out there, give me some spicy Elu and Melian, please? Give me an insight into all those tender moments. Give me the moment of their reunion, and please please please will anyone draw the moment that Elwë stumbled into Olwë's arms on legs that would not yet carry him (lol, ok, that's too specific. But I have that weird hc that Elves that are released from Mandos need some time to get accustomed to their body again, like a butterfly needs to dry after it emerges from its cocoon).

Ok, now I waffled enough, but will we try that, please? Spread some love instead of discord? That belongs to Bauglir after all.

hi! i hope its ok to send this as an ask instead of dming. i get shy about dms so i tend to default to asks. as ive said a few times here already, ive loved your beor/finrod series so much. i think yours is one of the best finrods i've ever read. im not sure if youre a fic reader too or primarily a writer, but i wondered whether youd read chthonions anastasis or the harrowing? you both write such a good and gentle finrod that i was curious if you knew each other or had similar inspiration? if you havent, i highly recommend it if you (obviously) like finrod! they are such beautiful and thought-provoking fics and ive really enjoyed how they explore the philosophical implications of all these things - which is another thing that made me think of you because thats something that really draws me to your fics too. you both dig into that in such perceptive and interesting ways. anyway, i read lost and found that they posted today and several things in that reminded me of your finrod (and yours of theirs) and i wanted to recommend it if you werent already familiar with their stuff. anyway im sorry if this is a weird ask to send! thanks so much for sharing your writing with all of us. its been a really bright spot in this yearr for me so far!

Hello! No, this wasn't weird to say, don't worry. (And please don't be shy about dms either if you prefer those!) I'm going to tag @chthonion in this reply because I don't want to talk about their fic without them being looped in - and also to be sure they see your compliments of their writing. :)

No, we don't know each other, so it isn't a gentle-Finrod-by-osmosis deal 😂 I read Anastasis a few months back and you're right - I really enjoyed the connection of Finrod, Frodo, and Celebrimbor's various traumas. It had never occurred to me to link those three characters together with their shared suffering and that was so fascinating to see that connection really delved into. (As a side note, I could honestly read an entire series that is just Finrod, Frodo, and Celebrimbor drinking together haha. That scene was delightful and really stuck with me.) I confess I have not done a good job keeping up with The Harrowing, but that's just because Silvergifting isn't really one of my primary draws ship-wise. I've heard really great things about it from a lot of people in the fandom!

Thanks so much for reccing their latest fic - that description looks really fascinating and has me very curious.

And thank you so much for all the kind things you've said in this - both about my own writing and about chthonion's. It's always such an encouragement as a writer to hear that what we've made has brought joy or fascination or a new facet of interpretation for those who read it. Honestly that's the dream! Thank you for saying all of that - it means a lot to hear it!

[bluegekk0]

he's just so round. it's very hard to describe the emotion his roundness evokes, it's just,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

little mud man.

the most cutest little baby killer.

aw, thank you for this. i appreciate it, i really do. though i would like to take this as an opportunity to rant a little bit about the last part, i hope you don't mind

the whole "child murderer" thing really irks me personally. and not because i want to pretend like the vessel thing didn't happen and pk is innocent, no. he still did that, their blood is still on his hands, it's a crucial part of his character that you just can't take away. it's more that i believe that label kinda misrepresents what actually happened. "murder" implies something premeditated, out ot of malice. and that's just doesn't fit him. his hand was forced by the infection, he wasn't killing vessels himself because he felt like it, hell, they weren't really meant to be living, feeling things by design. of course, that was a cruel misconception, and i personally see that as his fault. that he either lied to himself about it to make himself feel better, or let them all die knowing that they might actually be alive. it also connects to people saying that he would toss them into the abyss if they were impure and that's just... not what happened? i see this idea everywhere and it confuses me, cause even the game itself heavily implies that the vessels either died after hatching (from eggs which were already placed down in the abyss) or because they failed the climb and fell to their deaths

was what he did fucked up? absolutely, no doubt about that, he's not innocent and i will not act like he is, no matter how cute and pudgy and sad i make him in my au (which, btw, still revolves heavily around his guilt and self loathing about all the deaths he's responsible for, even if most content i draw of it is wholesome or silly). but if you're gonna call him out, i feel like it would help if it was more nuanced than just calling him a baby murderer with a buzzsaw obsession

and on a side note. it would also help greatly if people recognized that the white lady was just as responsible for the vessels and, by proxy, their deaths. i swear, the amount of "wl is so sweet and is such a good mom to the vessels" stuff i see, while wholesome, also kinda baffles me. cause i feel like people forget that she was equally responsible for that plan, and on top of that, doesn't even seem particularly emotionally attached to the vessels even when we meet her. like, come on, not even a "i'm sorry for leaving you and your siblings to die in the abyss"? anything? just "hey so your sibling kinda failed. go take their place ok thanks bye"? okay then. real sweet of you, mom

no shade towards wl or people who like that content, of course, i enjoy that stuff as well, i just feel it's a bit unfair to give pk all the shit and then turn around and spread wholesome mom wl content around, ya feel me? just... keep them both accountable. they're both guilty

nothing against you, the person who asked, btw. no bad feelings about your ask either, it's just something that's been on my mind for a long time and i guess this was a good opportunity to talk about it. hope you have a great day! and thanks for the ask

[headsplit2008]

at least so far for jamie's design (as ik it can change over the course of a project) theres a bit of wiggle room in drawing him 'technically on model'... b/c its a comic he doesnt have to be perfectly the same every panel/appearance which is interesting to note which of his traits remain consistent/recognisable (eyebags, big mouth, teeth..) and which don't (eye size, chin shape, angle of nose, placement of hair thingies, wether theres top or bottom teeth or tongue...). i was just thinking in terms of animation because if u animate a character u gotta keep those things consistent lol, at least in continuous shots. i noticed in The Jamie Gif(tm) that his hair thingy is only on one side despite him rocking to both sides

honestly this gif as a whole kinda breaks down on a consistency level when u look at it frame by frame (ie the shoulder pads changing size) (yes it makes me tempted to go over it and do like tiedown-cleanup-thingy but that just feels disrespectful cause its not by a long shot a bad animation) but that doesnt end up MATTERING becose the thing is in animation its more about the arcs and MOVEMENT that make something believable and alive which this gif is RLY good at !! in my courses rn theres a big focus on keeping things on model/consistent so im being OnModelPilled but honestly focusing too much on that can lead to stiffness which is something i end up seeing a lot... hm hm just interesting to think abt. ideally id want to be able to be good at bolth the arcs/movement AND keeping summat on model XD. but again part of animation is learning how and when it's 'appropriate' or like. heightens your anim. to break model (ie when to use squash and stretch and How) vs when its unnecessary/excessive (altho that can be a deliberate stylistic choice sometimes!)

anyways this just turned into a nerd ramble about animation but i really like this stuff ok. itd be coolio to see the TOLers animated someday even if i KNOW the whole POINT of the APPEAL of the comic is that it plays with comic conventions. i don't think you'd even be able to achieve the same playfulness w animation (i mean im sure u could but just oike. not with this exact premise) unless you really fucked around with like the sound aspect too, because the whole Thing about comics is that everything is visuals. the sound is visuals. thats literally Why santiago's thought-bubble-thing that's the whole BASIS for the comic works.

anyways whatever.

[undercover-monsterlover]

Hii omg i was so geeked when i saw ur page I hope its ok if I ask for a JJBA matchupp parts 4-6 a nsfw section wuld be awesum too THANK YOOOUUUUS!

My pronouns are He/She, I’d like to be paired with a guy and I’m 20 so an adult pleaazee.

Personality wise, I consider myself super easy to talk to.I can easily be pulled out of my shell and talk to you like you’re a good friend, even if we’re just meeting. I have a strong sense of humor, my humor consisting of banter and keeping a bit going. I like to consider myself cool and relaxed, but I have the tendency to geek out, I’m kind of too excitable… I’m a big shit talker, just a little judgmental. I lack empathy just a bit. I still try my best to console, but I either don’t really understand it or…… care. I’ll come to the situation with logic and a level head, but if I’m upset, then it’s almost the end of the world (I’m dramatic). 

As for preferences I can’t stand someone who can’t communicate. I’m incredibly patient, but it gets to a point. I don’t need someone funny or someone who makes jokes, them thinking I’M funny is enough. I also would need someone who’s touchy-feely, maybe not affection wise, but I'm very hands-on; playful smacks when I'm laughing, smacking them on tha butt, sorrryyy!

For hobbies and stuff, I love art. Drawing is my biggest hobby, and it has been for years and years…! I'm also really into listening to music (Rock, metal, melancholic stuff, soo awesum) I also luuv smoking, but I don’t do it alot, baking/cooking is nice toooo.

I lean towards being feminine, I.e longer hair with bangs and stuff. I’m really particular about my hair, not that I want it to look nice and clean, it needs to be purposefully messy. I love piercings, I have an eyebrow, septum, and navel. I don't really dress up.. Comfortability > Fashion.  I don’t really know what else to add for appearance, erm I have a birthmark on my hip that’s shaped kind of like a heart, so that’s cute.

Agaainn thank you SOOOOO MUCH sorry for talking ur ear off, luv u <3

Alright, I'd match you with...

Illuso

I'd say that things with Illuso start out on a bit of antagonistic note. Due to your cool exterior and slightly judgy outlook, he might think you're a bit of a prick at first, which will evolve into somewhat of a one-sided rivalry. HE'S supposed to be the nonchalant asshole around here, and your wit is overshadowing his blatant insults and trolling. Expect plenty of snark and vulgar comments, he's not one for subtlety. However, once he realizes you don't actually give a shit about his trash-talking, or have any opinion on him one way or another, his attitude quickly shifts into, "oh fuck, I need them carnally." At that point his insults would turn into back-handed compliments and negging, he's not great at romance, ok?

I think you would catch onto his affections for you pretty quickly, but instead of him just telling you, like you would expect a grown-man to do, he continues with these weird displays of backwards attentions. Your patience for this would wear thin at some point, wich would devolve into an argument, which would lead to you point-blank telling him to just come out and tell you what he wants. And he reluctantly does so. He's surprised when you rather quickly reciperocate though, he expected you to stay pissed off at him, but now that everything's out in the open your relationship is clearer. You're in looooovveeee😏😏😏.

Your relationship would involve a lot of teasing and messing with each other, his stupid pranks and your sharp comments, but nothing ever crosses the line into genuine cruelty anymore, and real arguments are very rare. Most of your bonding and relationship building would occured after you started dating. You two were a bit to busy with bullying eachother and pining before, but now you have that time to really get to know each other. It's not long before you both have a very deep, intimate understanding of eachother, which you usually don't even use as ammunition for messing with each other. How sweet. You become very close to eachother, but with everyone else you're both still a bit...unconcerned. Your seemingly low empathy makes it easier for you to accept his line of work, so no issues every really arise there, other than when he's show up drunk out of his mind after celebrating a successful hit with the boys. He also loves to brag to his teammates about being the only one in a stable relationship.

Illuso lives for your humour, and he laughs like an absolute psychopath at almost any funny comment. His jokes are more just blatant insults, but you both love shit-talking so much that it works out anyways. And he is brutal, he holds nothing back, he'll bring up people's families, appearence, sexuality, trauma, nothing is held sacred to this man. He's also great at picking up on a bit and keeping it going if you lead, and will double-down on it no matter what.

I'd say he's pretty interested in your art, he's never really had a creative streak himself, so it's cool to him, he doesn't have much constructive criticism or anything to contribute other then "looks cool" but you still appreciate it. However, if you ever draw him, he becomes an avid art enjoyer, he wants you to draw him in every pose😏. He also loves to just point out random shit and say "draw that" and expect you to do so without question. And when you don't feel like it or say no, he acts like you've just insulted him.

"Why not."

"I don't want to."

..."rude."

Illuso will eat anything you cook or bake like a man starving, you'll be lucky to get a second serving of any meal you make. He likes to joke about you being his housewife, until you threaten to never make anything for him ever again, which usually shuts him up. He usually shows affection through gift-giving and physical touch, he will blow all of his money from a job on you in one night if you want him to, whatever you want. He's also very hands-on as well, you smacking him on the butt, or him messing up your hair will always lead to play fighting, which he loves, and play fighting will often lead to...

NSFW

...him wrangling you into a position to fuck you. He loves to see your face, so any position where that can happen is ideal for him. He likes seeing the look in your eyes when you're just drowning in the pleasure of it all. Early on in the relationship, lovemaking is almost like a sexual power-struggle, as you both feel out the dynamics you like. I believe Illuso would prefer being more dominant, but either way he always likes it very rough, especially if you e been a touch too snarky for his tastes that day. (JK he loves that actually but any excuse to fuck you will be exploited.)

Pinning you down is always a turn on for him, though he does make an effort to at least keep you in a comfortable position when he does. But he loves pinning your wrists to the mattress, pushing your head into the pillow, fingers fish-hooking your mouth open, he just needs his hands to be one you in some way. He's not super into BDSM but a pair of handcuffs keeping you in place against the headboard is always nice, and a leash and collar, on you or him might come into play once in a while. He isn't too experimental, but you have tried out fucking to the beat of a metal song once or twice, and that was fun, though he prefers to just go at his own pace. Which is usually hard, fast, and deep. You don't typically go for more then a couple rounds, he puts all his energy and aggression into sex, so you're both usually pretty wiped out after a while.

He knows you aren't really a fan of dressing up, and in the typical day-to-day he doesn't care, but he loves nothing more than dolling you up in lingerie when you're at home, you'll eventually have more than you know what to do with. He also likes to just...watch you sometimes. He might ask you to masturbate or use a toy while he watches, more often than not he's not even touching himself, just enjoying the view. If you indulge this for him, he'll definitely make it up to you later though.

He's a bit into PDA and exhibition, partially because of the rush, partially because when the mood just him it doesn't matter where he is, he wants you now. If you're comfortable with it, he'd love to put on a little show, and if not, he'll just drag you to a semi-public bathroom or dark alleyway. It isn't rare for him to use his stand to pull you into an isolated mirror-realm either. He isn't great at aftercare at first, he's used to passionate hook-ups and one night stands that are over as soon as he comes, but he knows that since he gets rougher with you, he needs to be more attentive to you afterwards as well. It's not long before you both find a nice way to help each other relax afterwards.

do you think rome has ever made a mixtape songs for lukas when he gets bored?

Roman takings tips from those early 2000's Cosmo "How To Impress Your Man" lists. I actually see Lukas as the mixtape guru - he'd make Roman his own Spotify playlist.

Bored Roman would wander around the house and send Lukas multiple voice notes about the stuff he finds:

"What's this green stuff in your fridge? It looks gross. Eww... it tastes like grass. Why are you eating grass? There's nothing normal in your fridge by the way... even your bread is weird. What is Limpa? Ohh ok that actually tastes nice... Eww pickled fish. Your country is weird. I ate all your bread by the way."

"Your mom called so I told her you abandoned me to work... she's gonna send me baby Lukas pictures via email. I might put them on insta... I haven't decided yet... Oh my god you look like a baby giant... Your poor mom having to shove you out of her vagina. Ok you're actually kind of cute for a baby giant with your little knitted hat on... Aww baby Lukas at the zoo... ha, that giraffe must be related to you. All my baby pictures are with the nanny... or with Shiv looking like a bald egg. Thats depressing."

"We should go to that new Italian on the upper East side... I called and they said they'd do plain pasta for you... only if you want to though. You probably have boring work stuff to do or Tom will want to take you to show off. I can just go with Shiv and listen to her complain about how the baby ripped apart her vagina for the millionth time. Having a baby sounds gross but at least Lilly is cute... and small, not a baby giant like you were. I'll just take Lilly to the Italian. Babies can eat pasta, right?"

"Just so you know I've taken one of your sweaters cus I can't work out the heating system. Why are your arms so long? Like, how to you even operate them? Ohh this kinda cosy... you'll have to buy another one because I'm keeping this one. I'm in your closet by the way and it's giving serial killer. Nobody is that organised. Or neat. I bet if you decided to murder me this is where you'd hide my body. Or you'd stitch me up inside a bear carcass. Ohh cool... you have the shirt I wore when I first stayed over. You're such a dork. But in, like, a cool way and FUCK! Don't worry I'm not dead, I just tripped over one of your massive shoes. Is that how you came to the US? Via shoe-boat? You know, cus your Mister Viking and stuff... Ok, so I have a question... Are your stupidly big feet an indication of how big other stuff is? Cus it kind of feels that way when you cuddle me but... actually forget I asked that. I'm just gonna delete this..."

"You're asleep when I'm sending you this but I think you need to know how much you look like a dead body when you sleep. Here... I'm sending you photographic evidence... Why don't you make any noise? Like at all? You keep telling me I say a bunch of random shit in my sleep and... oh you moved. I'm gonna whisper from now on... Wait, what if you're actually dead? I'd get the blame and end up in fucking prison being molested by the guards. I can't go to prison so I'd have to dismember you in the bathroom or something. Also thank you for not being mean about the whole dick to shoe ratio... and for the drawing. Cus you know i've never really... well, anyway it makes it less scary even if you can't draw for shit. I'm just going to pet your hair for a bit cus I know you like that... Oh fuck I woke you up!"

[chiarrara]

Ok so I got more thoughts on the whole art school au:

Oh the Tokyo and the Kyoto schools are definitely rivals(which makes the whole shibuya art convention far more tense probably) . Which reminds me- Todo is also in textile/fashion and is either focused on making high quality gym clothes or on making pretty dresses (inspired by his one and only Takada)

I was really thinking on wether Gojo would be an artist in this au or not, since in all “no powers” au’s he’s in I just default him to a physics professor. But if he is then he absolutely just fucks around by incorporating physics into his art any way he can think of. Like very complex art installations or sculptures made to show off the weirdass stuff you can make by abusing the laws of physics. Geto on the other hand is into fine arts (mostly oil painting) but is obsessed with adding in philosophical or religious symbolism in his paintings. If Kenjaku was real in this universe then he’s probably the paint fumes Geto keeps huffing (that are most likely melting his brain as we speak)

Also just because this is an art school au doesn’t mean that Mahito doesn’t almost kill someone. Multiple times. I mean, it’s the viewers that should be more careful around the hanging sculptures, and yes he did make sure that the threads that attach them to the ceiling are secure! And him almost throwing a box cutter at someone was just a happy accident. (Side note I think his art would be focused heavily on body horror, the grotesque, or just generally being off-putting or gory. Something like Cao Hui’s “I Want To Play God”. Be warned for body horror tho when searching that up, but it is really cool)(another side note: Hanami would make beautiful ceramic flowers)

Since we mentioned throwing sharp objects at people and Nobara seems like the type to have chased boys with scissors in middle school, imagine how dangerous she would be now. Because not only does she have access to scissors to chase you with, she also has saws, lino cutters, hammers and many more very dangerous objects. Maybe don’t rile her up while she’s in the workshop. Or don’t rile her up at all.

Each year Maki welds herself a sword to see how much she’s improved

Megumi loves drawing and illustrating animals and most of his sketchbooks are so full that they’re all puffed up and can’t even close properly anymore. They look like they’ve been thru war. He also uses his art skills to shitpost a lot.

Since Yuuji is a movie nerd I think he’s love doing subtle merch based on the movies he likes

ahhhhhhh okay i was watching basketball so i couldn't give this my full attention but i was itching to reply all nighttttt

eeeek i love a rivalry. Also, I love Todo in textiles. I feel like he would make such simple but meticulously constructed clothes. Like the kind that you don't even know how good they are unless you actually know shit about clothes. Also, por que no los dos, he can make really pretty athletic wear for women. Tennis dresses and lounge wear and golf skirts, and body suits. Oooh and his dream could be to get a contract with Takada, or do a promotion with her. And he would tell her she's his muse and everything he's made had been inspired by her.... or that's his dream at least.

OH and he would judge guys by their taste in girls because it's literally their taste in fashion as well and he's passionate about the type of girl you design for....oh it all fits soooo well. I love him.

okay, so to ME i always see Gojo as more of a math guy, because his powers are actually more math based and conceptual than they are physics based. Like he's not actually fucking with the extant laws of the material universe so much as he is bringing math concepts into reality through magic-infused imagination. But i'm a math person, and fundamentally there's not enough of a difference if you're not a math and physics person and it is physics in a way like he's applying math concepts to physical space so it makes sense to make him a physics professor like everyone does because you use a lot of math in physics especially quantum physics dealing in higher dimensions which is basically what he's doing morphing spacetime and it's getting really in the weeds and particular to make the distinction between math and physics at that point but I am who I am...

So ANYWAY my point is, it would be really cool for him to do like, some kind of digital art, computer graphics type thing? and maybe he like designs a lot on a computer based on math concepts and things and then translates them into physical space in ways that completely fuck your mind. like somehow he recreates infinite fractals in physical space and you can't figure out why your mind is short circuiting to make this work but it does. Idk I think that would be really cool. And he would design mcescher like gallery spaces that you get turned around in and can't figure out how you got to where you are from where you were. like somehow you went downstairs and ended up a floor up. And no one can figure it out but he does it somehow.

Not kenjaku is the paint fumes geto is huffing TToTT im deaddd. okay so what if in school he did a whole series on moral responsibilities and the burden of responsibility on the leaders of society and then it started getting weird and he started spouting off a bunch of nonsensical stuff about the weak consuming and overtaking the strong and how he had to fight back and his art started to get very warped and a little horrific and then it turned out the paint thinner he used was getting recalled and there was a class action lawsuit cause it was causing hallucinations and lots of other health issues and once he switched he pretty much chilled out but it was a very formative experience for him. and also that was his masters thesis project or something lmao. wouldn't that be so silly haha goofy.

YES DISASTER CURSES AS PART OF THE AU!!! I love it. I never know how to incorporate them but this is soooo perfect and I love your idea for Mahito. that series you recommended as inspo for him is so sick and i think that makes so much sense as something he would make. I actually love what you were saying the other day about how Mahito is maybe questionable with how they're portrayed in canon with their presentation + their power set, but making that more into the actual ideas of self-embodiment of perfection. like, I get to create my own body because I am the soul and I form my body around myself. But it doesn't have to be any less violent or gory. like I can see his ideal project being like a fucked up body works, like preservation and essentially taxidermy? but breaking more boundaries to form artistic depictions of whatever ideal human form he wants. But he probably can't actually find a way to get away with that, so he has to settle.

I could see him setting up performance art where he get models and twists them into still doable but grotesque shapes, or simulates their bodies being morphed, or makes them intertwine to form one larger body in an unconventional shape. and i could see him also instructing them to wail in pain for the full exhibit run time. And I could see it being very disturbing to the patrons lol.

Also, "I want to play God" reminded me of some artwork i saw on here that i can't find anymore. it was like marble tile and walls and stuff that decomposed like flesh. it was super gory and super cool. I wish I knew the artist or anything to search...

How cool would it be for Hanami to combine ceramics and earthenware with literal living plants and have a literal live exhibit. The plants could grow through cracks and holes and stuff in the pots and bud and flower. or there could be ceramic flowers mixed in and you wouldn't always know which were ceramic or glass or artificial basically depending on the day you went because they're so true to life that if the plant is in the same stage of flowering you might not be able to pick them out.

Ooooh or better yet, what if she used live plants as part of the process in making her pieces and then fired them in the kiln burning the plants alive. as symbolism basically. it's almost an invisible performance art because part of the art is the process of destroying nature to get a product. And also what if she tried to gas her audience one time at an exhibit as a commentary on fossil fuels.

I think it'd be cool for Hanami and Jogo to work together on something, being both earth based. Also, what's Dagon up to? Something to do with cycles of life and death in the sea. What school are they all at?

Lmaoooo I can just picture Nobara flailing saws and power tools and hammers around when someone pisses her off just completely negating safety protocols. She has definitely considered (or threatened to) shove someone's face into a running band saw.

Do you think Maki would give daggers as gifts? I like to think she would. Even when it is totally not appreciated by the person she's gifting to. She would totally be one of those people who caries a hunting knife around for some reason and says it's totally normal. And she'd be great in a pinch, so who's correct?

I love Megumi being incredible at animal anatomy of basically any kind. And just knowing lots of shit about animals. He gets pissed off if you call a koala a bear and he can tell the difference between a crocodile and an alligator immediately. One time Yuuji asks him to draw a tiger or something for a design and he whips it up in 10 minutes flat. ooooh would megumi be a sick tattoo artist??

it would be so cool if Yuuji started off like making fan designs and selling them on redbubble or something OR BETTER doing cosplay. He could make some sick hoodies and streetwear stuff based on like star wars designs and other sci-fi and horror.

You got my imagination going. If any of this is like not vibing to you feel free to discard, i just had fun thinking about it.

Did we talk about what Yuuta is doing? or Nanami???? Omgomg also what if like, the students have to have a sort of academic advisor except they're more like a mentor situation??? so like Megumi's advisor would be gojo probably. but it could also be Geto if he's focusing more on the fine arts aspects...or Nanami if he's got more of a business & product focus. Idk it would be really cool to pair them up. Like depending on where the disaster curses are would they be with geto? Oh also, are the twins here?? so much to consider!

[Magi reread] Night 39: Incident

YOU LYING. LIAR. I LOVE YOU, BUT FUCK YOU

And he's so happy ;_; He doesn't know yet

Why the fuck you lyinnn, why you always lyiinnn

I mean, I can guess why, but also damn, I wonder how his life looked, like, in more detail than what we get

:)

UMMM OH MY GOD

Locked in the castle.

Also, I fucking can't. The way Ohtaka draws expressions. Like, Alibaba looks borderline traumatized, but look at Cassim. You literally can't tell what his feelings are. Is it fondness? Is it pity? Is he scheming? Insnae. You sense all three if not more.

AAAAAAAAAAA STOP FUCKING LYING

I don't even know for what I am in pain here, bro. Is it because of Cassim lying about his dead sister, or about the heartbreak Alibaba's about to exprience in a few months.

Also, the fact that Alibaba gets betrayed over and over again by the people he loves, ugh.

"Admiration". But is it admiration. What is this. I love how ambiguous Cassim's feelings are. Is iat admiration? Is it fondness? Alibaba didn't change at all? Is it disappointment? Does he think Alibaba's a moron? Tbh, in most cases my money is on "All of the above". It's an interesting thing abt Alibaba, or rather how certain people (like Cassim or Hakuryuu) feel about him. They love him and hate him at the same time, want him to stay by their side and get lost, they want him brought down to whatever they perceive their own level to be, at least, and they want him to remain untainted & keep shining so brightly. It's such a... mess. I really love it about these relationships. That being said, it genuinely sucks to be Alibaba there, because of all these mixed signals they give him all the time. That weird pedestal they put him on, and now they're mad about it. To paraphrase, he's not responsible for what they believe him to be, and yet they make him pay for it.

On a different note, I love the wording. "Cassim didn't have to hear that much, but Cassim didn't need to hear that much." Foreboding.

...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

OOF. Ok, but that's how I was reminded that there were other people there, so Alibaba probably became a laughingstock of that group, oof

ALADDIN'S. EXPRESSION.

BRO'S ABOUT TO START CRYING, OH MY GOD, HE FEELS SO MUCH

Wait, what else did he tell him?

Also, Alibaba's low self-esteem, and then Rashid doesn't fucking help by saying, yea, there's literally nobody else I can choose, so.

Like, bro.

Father of the year, smh

The fact that Alibaba only began seeing Rashid as more than a unreachable figure is after he'd admitted that he loved Anise. He actually says next page that it's only after that that he began recognizing him as his father.

So, Alibaba doesn't say no simply bc he didn't feel like being a king. He thinks it'd make a mess in the country. There's probably some self-esteem issues involved, too, but also he does make sense. He'd said that some people in the palace began talking to him and all, not that all of them were on his side. It could've lead to a civil war. It was, in fact, a pretty understandable concern.

Alos, ugh, the fact that he wants to revive the slums & get Cassim & everybody to help;;;

And then the king leaves stuff to him. He's, like, 14.

: ' )

Oh no : (

Also, now I'm thinking abt the Moon again. It feels, like, symbolical. Yeah, yeah, I'm very smart for this one. Jokes aside, though, as I've said, Aladdin's kinda Moon-coded, so the Moon, especially full, represents something positive - guidance, maybe fate. So the lack of the Moon likely means the opposite - going against fate, depravity.

Bro, that breaks me a little. He's so confused, but immediately assumes something positive. That Cassim came to see him. But of course he didn't.

Gdi, what a thing to stumble upon.

Choosing is hard. But, like, jokes aside, I can't blame him for hesitation. He's forced to choose between his brother and the greater good, how can he make it?

whack

Why tf is he so pretty tho.

bro

I am. In so much pain. God. And that contrast between the palace fire & all these horrifying silhouettes and Alibaba's precious memory of playing with Cassim and everybody. It just hurts.

[symeona]

🫶🩷Ok now I'm getting a bit embarrassed, but this is so sweet to have someone look at all those details that plague me for hours?? Thank you for noticing I kinda wanna cry

Uhm so, some more notes that give you an insight to my thought process and now the actual practice of color picking

Quinlan's tattoo is more of an orange-yellow and I added purple to Aayla's blue to slowly draw their palettes together. I have tendency to pair blue and green but I really wanted Aayla to start "approaching" Quin's palette in a "warm" way.

And here ok I was so HYPED when I turned those sections of her lekku more green, cause it creates a nice arc that frames her face and it compliments the color of her skin so it keeps you up there for a few seconds longer. And because people will hound artists for putting "cold" colors in the back and warm colors in the front. Because that's how the human eye works and the atmosphere on earth etc. but I'm like. THIS ISN'T EARTH! Why do I have to stick to the rules??? I don't wannaa! Back lekku are warmer cause I said so bye

The other thing is, I love a drawing series. Like the Ahsoka and Barriss ones I did a while back

The way these progress is there a little green in the first one. It's in the sky, somewhere far away. Then in the second one it's still far, but it's in the middle ground and the middle of the composition. And then Barriss appears. And suddenly their colors are flipped. Blue and Green are on Ahsoka's side of the drawing, Orange is with Barriss.

I don't know if that helps but think of what you're good at when you draw. Or what you find fun. Like I find characters fun, so I treat those backgrounds as characters. Barriss is on her way as a character but this affects the background too.

Keep trying stuff!! This is why drawing is fun, the learning process never ends 🔥

how do you figure out color schemes? it takes me so much time to just play around with things that MAY work, but your art is always so seamless and has really beautiful combos

Colors are such a weird topic in art because it's either as complicated as astrophysics or it's ✨vibes✨

But usually what I do is pick a color I want to stand out, make everything else around less saturated or far away from it in the color wheel or not as dark. Or all of the above fjfbf

Example 1, Aayla's blue is the only blue in this drawing. The only color that's close in "temperature" is Quinlan's green robe which is placed on the other side of the composition to bring some balance to the drawing. But also this green is still rather "warm". So the blue stands out no matter what

In this one it's Ahsoka's orange skin. Everything else is cold. Except her head pice which is less saturated. And I added red accents to really make the orange more vibrant

This one is even more obvious. The orange is the only warm color. Even the yellow is yellow-green so it's cold. And the purple you see in the background is warm but it's also mixed in her orange.

As to why I combine the rest of the colors with each other it's less of a system and more of me being a psycho and having what I call fun dhdhdh

Which is usually trying to use as many weird combinations of colors as humanly possible

Don't know if this made any sense, feel free to ask more questions!

[unluckyhoneybee]

An eye on you (Daniel Ricciardo)

Even though your son knows Daniel since he was born, he turns a bit protective over you when you start dating. Fluff.

Note: I love the StepDad trope, really. One of my favorites. Plus, Daniel and kids it's always a go. So...

Daniel was one of those childhood friends you never lose touch with. We had been together since we were 11 or 12 through ups and downs.

He was one of the first friends who came to visit when I gave birth, carrying a huge teddy bear on his arm and telling Michael how to carry the flowers.

He had been stunned when he met Elliot, but gave me a weird look when I told Michael to be his God father. But as Elliot grew up and his dad and I broke up, Daniel and I got closer. Super close, actually. Elliot was 5, almost 6, now and Daniel and I had been dating for months. Not officially yet, but a lot of stuff happened.

Elliot loved Daniel. He loved to do 'crazy' stuff with him. He loved to go Karting with him, to go to his farm, he was good friends with his niece and nephew and loved hikes with Michael and Daniel. So I wasn't worried.

"Hey, Elliot."

"Hey Mum. Look at this. It's Spider-Man" He showed me his drawing.

"Oh wow. It's amazing, honey."

I kissed his head and sat on a chair with him.

"I want to talk about something"

He looked at me.

"Daniel has invited us to his farm to spend the weekend. With his family"

He smiled. Elliot knew Daniel and I were more than friends now. He knew about all the times we had gone out and how special Daniel was for me.

"Will Isaac be there?"

"Um... I don't know, maybe. The thing is that..."

"Daniel is your boyfriend"

I looked at him surprised.

"Well. Yes. Kind of. But you are friends with him, right? You like him"

"I do, yes. He has cool cars and a pool. Will he take me to see the sheep?!"

I smiled.

"Of course he will. You know he loves spending time with you"

"Ok"

Elliot seemed happy when I drove to Daniel's farm. The driver was waiting for us with his parents. He had one of those hats and a huge smile. He loved Elliot so much and was super excited to have us here for the weekend. It was the first time we would go there as a family plan, not as a friends plan.

"Hey buddy!"

Daniel ran to him and helped him unbuckling his belts.

Even though Elliot always was excited around him, today he seemed more serious.

"How was the road?"

"Good" Elliot answered.

Daniel looked at me for a second and I gave him an "I don't know" look. Elliot had been a bit weird recently.

"Okay..."

Daniel greeted me with the biggest hug and a super fast peck on my lips. His parents and my son were there.

"It's everything alright?"

I kissed his cheek.

"I think he just needs some time"

Daniel kissed my forehead.

"I'm happy you are here. Michelle and the kids will come later"

"He already asked about them"

We walked to Elliot, who was standing there and looking shy at Dan's parents.

"Elliot, mate. Come here. I want you to meet my parents."

Elliot took Danny's hand and walked to him while I put our bags out of the car.

I looked at them and saw Grace hugging Elliot with a smile. It made me blush a bit. Daniel already treated Elliot as his. It was so nice to see his parents welcoming us so warmly.

"He is so cute, YN. He has grown so much. You mum always shows me pictures but look at him..."

"Thank you, Grace. He is a little man already." I said hugging her.

Joe and Daniel were already talking with Elliot about going around the farm.

Elliot turned a bit and looked at me.

"Elliot! You wanted to do something with Danny, right?"

"Oh really?" Daniel said with an exaggerated surprise.

"Can we go and see the sheep?"

"Of course we can. Just go with mum and get some comfy clothes. And then we can go."

Elliot nodded eagerly.

Daniel took him everywhere around the farm. When Isaac and Isabelle arrived, he played with my son and his niece and nephew.

Right after dinner, we were all around a little fire. I was cuddled against Daniel's side, seeking for his warmth and keeping an eye on the kids. The three of them were playing on one side, but Elliot was looking at Daniel and me once in a while.

One of those times, he caught Daniel kissing my lips and frowned. He wasn't used to this kind of gesture from Daniel. I feared that he may feel jealous of him, or felt as if I was forgetting about him because now I was dating someone. After all, Daniel was the only serious thing I had after breaking up with his dad.

Elliot stopped playing and looked at his hands for a couple of seconds. Then, he got up and walked in our direction. Standing right in front of us.

"Danny, can I talk to you for a second?"

What?

"Elliot, son. Are you okay?"

"Yes, mum. I just want to talk to Danny"

Daniel looked at me.

"Elliot, really. Is everything okay? Do you need something?" I touched his hair.

"No, mum. I'm good."

"Hey, if the little man wants to talk... You want to go somewhere more private?"

Elliot nodded.

You looked at Daniel. He was truly the best. There wasn't anyone in this world you would chose over him.

Both guys left.

"Danny loves him" Grace said.

"I know. Elliot adores him too. I'm really happy."

"Elliot was a bit shy today, right?" Michelle asked.

"Yes. I don't know, maybe it's because things are changing"

Minutes went by and they didn't come out of the house, so I excused myself and went inside. I was worried. Even though Elliot said he was okay, my mum's instinct made me worry.

I saw light in the living room, but when I heard Elliot's soft voice, I stopped. Half-hidden I knew I shouldn't be doing this, but Daniel and Elliot were sitting in front of each other and they seemed to be having a very serious conversation.

"My mum told me that if you have a girlfriend or a boyfriend you have to love them so so much and take a lot of care of them. And I heard my mum saying once that my dad didn't love her. So if you are going to be my mum's boyfriend and she is going to be your girlfriend you will have to take a lot of care of her. And love her so much because she is super nice and the coolest. And she always takes a lot of care of me and buy me chocolate when I'm sad. And she told me she loves you and that's why she wants to to be her boyfriend and live with us. So I will only let you be her boyfriend if you make a pinky promise to me. Okay? Promise you will take a lot of care of her and love her so so much"

I had tears on my eyes and had to cover my mouth so they wouldn't hear me sob.

"Wow, Elliot. I-I promise, buddy. I really do. Pinky promise. I will take a lot of care of her. Trust me." Daniel threaded his pinky with Elliot's and smiled. "I love her a lot. I have for a while."

"Not more than me"

"How I love your mum is different from how you love her" Daniel said gently.

"But you will take care a lot of care of her, right?"

"Of course I will, buddy."

Elliot nodded and reached his hand to Daniel.

"Okay, treat. But I will keep an eye on you"

I bit my lip smiling. I couldn't really describe how I was feeling.

"Give me a hug, mate" Daniel said.

They hugged hard.

"Are you going to be like my second dad?"

"Um. I don't know. I can be your step dad"

Yes Danny, there is nothing I'd love more.

"Yeah, you are cool. Will you show me how to ride those dirt bikes?"

"Your mum will kill me if I do"

"I will"

"Mum!" Elliot threw his hands to the air. "We were having a secret talk"

"Oh, sorry honey. I just arrived"

He frowned.

Daniel looked at him with a smile and then at me.

"Elliot, go outside with Isaac and Isabelle, okay?"

He nodded and ran past me. Daniel got up and walked to me. I smiled and took a deep breath. He hugged my waist and I circled his neck with my arms.

"Can I?" He whispered.

"Can you what?"

"Be his step dad"

I smiled and kissed him deeply.

"There is nothing I want more, Daniel"

"Really?"

I nodded and touched his nose with mine.

"I love you" He whispered. "And I love Elliot a lot"

He kissed me again.

"You heard him, right? Your son gave me the talk"

I laughed a bit.

"I'm lucky that I have you both" I said looking into his eyes.

"So I am. Step dad is better than godfather" He said smiling.

"Is that so?"

"I can get to do a bunch of adult things with the mum"

I rolled my eyes and hit the back of his head.

"Idiot"

"Privileged"

Later that night, still in front of the fire, Elliot got comfortable between our bodies, his head on Daniel's chest and my arms around the both of them.

"Mum?"

"Yes baby?"

"If Danny is my stepdad now... Can I have a baby brother?"

Daniel looked at me and I heard his mum gasp.

"Well... Do you want one?"

"I do"

Daniel bit his lip.

"We could arrange that, right?" He said looking at me.

"I think we can, yes"

S/o feels weird about sharing Blitzo with Stolas thinking they're getting between them or they would fight over him.

Okay! I'm not sure if your the same Anon who asked for this one

If your not, check this one out as it's pretty simalir to what your asking, If you are then hope you enjoyed it. I'm not sure if this ask is the clarification I asked for, or completely unrelated so I guess I'm doing another one to cover all my bases XP Time for for more Polycule stuff!

Blitz's S/O being afraid Stolas will get between them, or just concerned that they'll fight over him.

You kinda uneasily agree to the whole thing, it is still very much a yes, just you've never had a partner, who also has another aside from you, so your unsure how it will go.

You have nothing against Stolas tho, you know he and Blitz have had their up and downs before getting together, but the few times you see them interact it's clear Stolas makes Blitz happy, and you want him to be happy so you don't have a problem with the prince.

While Blitz would love to be able to hang out with the both of you together, your two different people with different schedules and avaliability so the times that's possible are few and far between, and that's on top of Blitz's own schedule.

He's generally the one to handle it all, but the somewhat rigidness of some times you spend with him are a bit awkward at first, you of course make the most of it, in whatever ways you want to at time, dates at places, at home etc.

During this adjustment phase you barely ever interact with Stolas, most times it's just you or him seeing the other as they drop off Blitz or something, but you do chat when it feels appropiate, neither of you want to outright ignore eachother, might as well make decent friends with him, might make fights you expect less common, on top of Stolas just being pleasant to be around.

Eventually a night comes up where your all available, and Blitz of course wants to make the most of it, your still not sure about spending it all together so essentially Blitz plans to split his time, first with Stolas and then finish off the night with you.

But then you hear your door being unlocked, a good hour before Blitz is supposed to come over, but that doesn't stop him from rushing up to you, spinning you around in a hug and then kissing you when you come to see who it is

You barely are able to ask what he's doing here early before he gives you a big kiss, though even after he's not who answers you.

Your attention draws to Stolas leaning against the door frame that's barely tall enough for him, the owl explaining he didn't want Blitz to get too tuckered out with him, and wanted to make sure the Imp boss would be able to properly attend to you.

Blitz notes they could have at least gone another round in the car, making you notice Blitz's shirt is only half buttoned, Stolas just responds that even his stamina isn't endless, blushing as he does so before bidding you two farewell and a goodnight.

Your a little stunned to respond to him before he leaves, and then Blitz picking you up and taking you to the couch for some fun~

You play video games :P On the side~

The next day while Blitz is at work, you can't help but keep thinking about Stolas forfeiting a good hour of his alone time with Blitz for your sake, so you call him and plan to meet at a cafe to talk about it.

When you ask Stolas just raises a brow, pulling on his collar a bit, apoligizing, expecting you to be ok with it. You awkwardly correct him, saying you appreciate it greatly, your just confused as to why he did that.

Stolas just responds, that he felt that it wouldn't be right if he let Blitz get all tired with him, and that he knew Blitz would end up feeling bad if the two of you wouldn't be able to enjoy your time together properly, and he simply wanted to avoid that for all your sakes.

Your silent for a bit, unsure how to respond, making him ask if everything's okay, you then just saying your surprised he's being so kind about the whole thing, admitting to thinking you two might fight over Blitz which Stolas awkwardly chuckles at.

"Well I just want him to be happy, and you clearly make him happy, so why wouldn't I be okay with it?."

Taking a bit to respond, just stating with a chuckle maybe you had nothing to worry about, both of you having a good laugh over it.

After that your a lot more secure in the whole thing, even making sure to tell Blitz to tell Stolas hi for you when he sees him, and you and Stolas become really good friends over it, after all, what better way to scheme how to fluster Blitz so much he can't speak?~:P

There you go, personally I've never seen Stolas as the jealous type, and I just think he wants Blitz to be happy, so I write him as such, a lot more fun to me personally XP

wait wtf happened 💀 I feel like I missed a shitstorm

To keep it short, sweet, & not ranty: Kaidan addon update - they massacred our boy /hj

Dialogue is p low-tier, very Yt Women Romance(tm) & draws away from his original set up, imho at least lol but in the end that isn't what bugs me.

What has me seeing red is the devs throwing a fit & pearl clutching because folks were asking if they're going to keep in/respect the asexual option the base mod has. (Because obviously that means they want to do away with all the romance/sexual options as does anyone with a single, mild criticism - amiright gamers /s)

Which idk bout y'all but that is not a good look lmao

EDIT: lmao one of the new devs is biphobic as well - don’t use the Kaidan add-on folks

EDIT 2: Screenshots of the whole fiasco regarding Kai’s asexual option have been provided (do note this is what’s left after some deletion) and will be added below the cut - Names of the discord members were censored for general precaution + I hope y’all are mature enough to realize not to bug the VA Dan about this. Again, this is not an excuse or reason to harass anyone, this is to inform others so they can form an opinion & hold accountability.

That being said, I will be posting my short personal opinion below, because lol i do have opinions - transcript has been added

[Image transcript:

"My thing is I'm fine with it if it's unlocked via other dialogue tbh because I 100% have characters that'd be down for it. But others would be like...no? So how do I vote for that XD"

"I like what she has done with the mod. It makes him more real and with faults. He is an harlequin romance novel character. I'm sorry, but I had to give in my two points there. He isn't excuse me Just don't where the amulet o mara don't wear it, don't get no reomance Um Okay"

"I mean for me even in the base Kaidan mod it got mized up after a while, I don't know if that was my game being bugged though. (I did think there was an odd flaw in that if you choose to wait the first time dialogue kind of got lost???)

"Okay now hold on, some people are asexual but not aromantic. They don't want sex but do want love and romance."

"Yeah exactly"

"As an asexual, I always choose the romance without the sexual stuff."

"this is where I exit the convo, have a nice night guys."

"Would it be possible to add a option where you can tell Kaidan what you're comfortable with and what you're not comfortable with?"

"Now in all fairness you need to consider [redacted] side too, Adding content may not always be in line with the original author's intent. This is [redacted]'s work, not Liv's. It's not necessarily fair to impose another person's will to limit her creativity and it's difficult when some do want that content. Yes what [redacted] said was insensitive but I think it was from frustration of a feature they wanted being cut not out of malice. It's not okay to dogpile and shout out her opinion. Let's take a deep breath."

"Do you want him to be a monk that is tranquil in dragon age terms?"

"No? I want him to be who he is already."

"They might mean don't ruin his protective nature."

"I think that would be a great shame (I'm tired and not expressing myself very well sorry)"

"Making him more sexual when not in a relationship would feel more bishop like and less like himself or how Live wanted him to be."

"You guys really don't want to hear what i am feeling right now, so i'll be a nice respectful [redacted] and just stay behind."

"exactly"

"OK EVERYONE. THATS ENOUGH. This is what's going to happen: [redacted] will remove ALL sexual related stuff. So everyone can drop it now. From now on will focus only on quests and the like"

"I think there is room for both. Kaidan can be more open to being more saucy if his lover mentioned they wanted it. He dated Ros for Divine's sake Dagon knows she asked for worse. But [redacted] isn't able to make everyon happy. You have to be understanding on both sides."

"we will make him a monk. with protective tendancies"

"TBF he was traumatised by Ros"

"sorry [redacted] I'll shut up"

"From now on, if anyone wants sexual material they will have to donate and get a bespoke from Dan like some other people have done."

"sorry if its a dumb question but when you said all the content did you mean everything in the whole mod itself or just a new patch? again, sorry if thats a stupid question."

"So, I'm getting confused now. Is there too much romance in the mod now as well? Sorry but I just feel frustrated at this point. Yeah sexy might be too much but romance as well?"

"I don't think anyone is saying there's too much romance? (though more friendship stuff would be lovely too!)"

"no [redacted] its perfect on your end its just some people having different opinions"

"how about she removes /all/ the sex shit period from her mod and just leave what is in the original mod for you guys?"

"Oh god no [redacted] the romance stuff is lovely!" (unable to read the rest of the message)

"Yeah there's a cold romance and the hot romance I believe."

"Please keep in mind this is [redacted]'s mod. I payed for all sex lines myself. she was being nice and sharing. But ok, we will take them back. The donations where used for regular comments and a large quest. We will not be able to please everyone. Lots of people have privately asked us for more romance and sex and that's why we took this route. Now because you guys those other people won't get anything. There. Now y'all are up to date. Better to just drop the subject and everyone have a good rest of the night."

"There are three"

"I am just confused at this point also, Is it just like, have two paths the more slow romantic and..."

"There usm byt /u haven;t been able to figure out how to go along the paths so far."

"I love the romance stuff!"

"Sure x"

"I'm going to be really blunt here, and I'm sorry if I sound like a jerk. But....people that have not donated really shouldn't be asking for anything. Plan and Simple. Suggestions are welcome by everyone of course. Telling [redacted] what to do with her mod? NO. I talk to Dan, not only professionally, we are friends. Guess what, what you hear is how he is. He IS Kaidan. We give him a script and he runs with it. He does whatever he wants. Adds cussing at will and even changes things. We just use whatever he gives you. Soooo if someone doesn't like Dan's stuff then by all means don't use the mod. I WILL NOT tell Dan what or what not to do. Anyways, sorry for being so blunt. Some of you needed to know this. Most of you are really nice people. Thanks."

"go on" ]

Now I don’t want to sound like a jerk here, but there’s a difference between being blunt & throwing a fit because people were (rightfully) upset at your response to a simple suggestion.

You’re right! It isn’t our mod, but if you’re going to take the mantle of taking other’s suggestions & criticisms - you gotta do so without this whole attitude lol. I don’t give a damn if you’re best friends with God - this is not acceptable behavior & if your first response to someone going “Hey is this thing from the base mod going to be respected/stay” is “OOOH SO YOU WANT NO SEX OR ROMANCE WHATSOEVER OOOOH YOU’RE PULLING OUR LEGS BOOHOO” then maybe - just maybe - being a mod dev ain’t for you. & I seriously recommend logging off for a bit & finding something else to do.

Spicy take but trust me when I say someone not being 100% interested in the same shit as you isn’t the end of the world. Both opinions can be discussed but it needs to be done so respectively & the devs failed in that.

[inkrabbit]

Ok ok how about m!reader that has a crush on the main bully trio accidentally letting them know he likes them? Like accidently saying "your lucky that I like you" or dropping his binder bumping into them and they pick up a scratched out unfinished love letter or something while helping pick the stuff up

Okay, while I'm afk grinding on a game. like last time, M!Reader in mind, but could be seen as GN!Reader

Jimmy

Chemistry with you is.... interesting, to say the least

He's seen you writing in your notebook, even when you guys don't have to take notes. That's fine. He assumes you're just trying out for the nerd clique and you want your grades up or something like that

So he thinks nothing of it when he asks to take your notebook to his room to copy down notes (let's be honest, he also wants homework answers) for other classes

And you think nothing of giving it to him because you forgot you didn't rip that little love note out of it when you were supposed to

It's too late when you barge into his room, because he's already halfway through the note of your half-assed, chicken scratched handwriting of thoughts of how you feel about him

Yes, he had laughed when you started trying to explain yourself

And yes, he does admit that he read it, because he already knows you know he did

But in the heat of your embarrassed ranting, you don't notice him toss your notebook down and stand up

He's a little forceful with the first kiss after telling you to shut up, but the next one is a little softer

Turns out, Jimmy actually likes you too. Especially that fiery little personality of yours

Pete

Oh boy, he wasn't ready for what he saw in your sketchbook

It's no secret Pete likes art class. Hell, he excels in it because he's able to keep to himself and draw whatever he sees or whatever he wants

And he's not ashamed of his art either, since he considers it one of the "cool" things about him. So he's not embarrassed to trade his sketchbook with you when Miss Phillips prompts it, saying she wants the students to "look inside each other's minds and get a grasp for their art style"

You know what Pete wasn't expecting? Sketches of himself in your book

Sure, you guys had done some portrait studies with partners, but he notices that some of these you've done unprovoked. And honestly, he's both flattered and amazed

He's never had someone actually think of him as interesting, so to have sketches of him done by someone else, without Miss Phillips asking, he's nearly fainting with disbelief

He'll apologize when you get on him for looking too much into your sketchbook, but he's also complimenting your work and saying how much potential you have to have a professional artist

Congratulations, he's now asking if he can also do sketches of you

You know, totally because he wants to work on his portrait studies as well and expand his art skills so he's not just sketching scenery

Definitely not because of anything else

Gary

He's still getting on your nerves, talking about how you're "such a good and obedient little side kick"

Just ignore him, he'll stop whenever he gets tired of hearing himself talk

But he's getting a little more out there with his requests

You don't know what he's doing, and really, you don't care. You just wish he would at least say "please" every once in a while

His strangest request (let's face it, it was a demand. he practically yelled at you) was for you to meet him in Old Bullworth Vale, right on the docks at 11 o'clock sharp. Why does he want to meet you after curfew begins? You don't know. You don't ask him questions because, whenever you do, he starts his little ranting and raving and honestly, you're done with that

You're also upset with his demands, so you tell him this is the last time you're doing something so incredibly stupid

And you might've mumbled under your breath it's only because you like him, but you're sure he didn't hear that. He was too far behind you and your back was turned to him

You were wrong

11 o'clock comes and Gary's already waiting at docks. Had been since 10:45 because he apparently "needed to go over some things in his head" before you showed up. Whatever

He starts going on about how nothing ever escapes his notice, and gives you a few examples with other students. You've tuned him out, honestly. He does this way too much for you to care anymore

But he says something that catches your attention: "You're lucky I like you enough to do this"

Oh no

He's nothing but smug smiles when you finally look at him, and he's waiting patiently, almost like he's daring you to deny it

But of course, he starts popping off again, saying how most people are worthless and he views most of them as tools. But then he starts talking about you again, saying how you've actually proved your worth to him

Turns out, Gary likes you too.... in his own way. He won't outright say it, but he does tell you he's impressed with how well you take directions and how much you listen. "You're different" are the exact words he uses

Apparently, Gary likes different, and you're lucky enough that he's looking for his own loyal right-hand
