The Meet-Cute - Kid's Story - 1

Word Count: 3591

Tags For The Whole Story: Fem!Reader; Angry!Kid; Hurt!Kid; Sexual Tension; Teasing; Flirting; Mature Audiences (I'll always tag the NSFW chapters); Modern Day AU; Heavy Angst With Happy Ending; Banter; Miscommunication; Dealing With Trauma; Living With Trauma; PTSD; Overprotective!Shanks; BestFriend!Killer; Feelings Realisation; Denial of Feelings; Uncorresponded Feelings; Survivor's Guilt; Self-Loathing; Mentions of Death; Alcohol Abuse; Hurt; Violence; Discovering of Emotional Vulnerability;

Special Warning: English is not my first language, I apologise for any possible spelling or grammar mistakes.

Special Warning 2: I advise reading the introductory chapters first, as they give a sense of the story, introduce characters and locations and, this chapter starts off immediately after the Sanji chapter. Your first interaction with Kid is in those chapters! If you don't want to read the other characters, I recommend reading, at least, Kid's Chapter since it's the first interaction!

Summary: After moving away from the hustle and bustle of Grand Line City to help your father around the property following a horse-riding accident - and in the hopes of healing your broken heart after your asshole ex-fiancé cheated - you settle into the country calmness of the Calm Belt. Then there's Kid, the gruff, hot-headed mechanic, who gets under your skin in more ways than one. The chemistry between you is undeniable and you can't keep your hands to yourselves. Until he starts to push you away. Each time you think he's let you in, he just shoves you further, it's such a maddening, dizzying push and pull that you don't know how much more your heart can take before it crumbles.

Notes: Okay, ready for this crazy ride? I think this story will be the longest of the bunch, so far. But it's one I'm dying to share. As per usual, I hope to post one chapter per week (I'm sorry in advance if that goal isn't met). And, as per usual again, please enjoy the first angst-free chapters before the proverbial 💩 hits the fan!

Here's a Spotify Playlist I created for this story if you want to check it out!

Masterlist

You knew your car was unreliable, your dad told you so, and you had witnessed it firsthand, but damn it, why did the thing have to die on you when you were alone in the middle of nowhere? 

After lunch with the girls, you decided to drive your piece-of-crap car to the beach to unwind a little. Your conversation with Sanji had brought up memories of Ichiji, your ex-fiancé, that you had not wanted to revisit. The beach seemed like the perfect place to relax.

And it was. 

Until it was time for you to leave, when the stupid car suddenly sputtered, coughed, and began spewing fumes through the hood. 

“Stupid piece of shit,” you mutter under your breath while kicking the front tire. Opening the hood makes you grimace as you’re assaulted by smoke, which promptly spurs a coughing fit. With a heavy sigh and a slight sag of your shoulders, you resign yourself to your fate, leaning against the car and watching the sun dip lower on the horizon as you fish out your phone. 

There’s no use calling Shanks. Your dad said he and Beckman were watching the game, which means that both men are probably well into their beers, and you don’t want your dad to risk his life by driving the truck tipsy, so you do a quick internet search for a mechanic in town. 

There’s only one: ‘The Damned Punk Garage’

“What the hell…?” What kind of name for a mechanic’s shop is that? With an exasperated breath, you rely on the four-star rating and ignore the comments about the owner being a hothead, praying for someone reliable and not someone who’ll take advantage of you - this is a small town with practically zero crime rate, after all - and dial the number.

“‘Sup?” Really? The voice is rough and gruff on the other end, but somewhat familiar, though you can’t quite place it.

“Erm… hi? My car broke down near the beach, I’m stranded. Is there any way you can come and fix it, or tow it, or something?” You roll your eyes and smack your forehead. Why does it sound like you’re asking for a favour? You’re going to pay for the service, dumbass.

“Aye, send me yer location.” 

Wait… this accent is more than familiar.

“Kid?”

“Yeah, it’s me. Who’d ye expect?” he sighs on the other side of the line like he has something better to do, and you hear the clinking of tools over some loud rock music.

“I dunno! I’ve been away for years, smarty pants, how would I know that you own the only garage in town? I’m Shanks’ daughter.” You tell him your name with another exasperated roll of your eyes.

“Sparkles?” Suddenly, his voice sounds lighter, a hint of mischief in his tone, which pulls a light smirk from your lips as well. “I’ll be damned. Ye need me already? Missed me that much?” He chuckles, and so do you.

“Guess I do. Up to the task, big man? Or are you all talk and no action?”

He barks a laugh on the other end of the line, and you hear the roaring of an engine in the background. “I’m always up to the task, City Girl. But I’ll let ye find that out yerself.” He pulls away from the phone as his words sound further away. “Hey, Kill. Ready up the tow, we got a job to do.” 

Kill?

Then his voice sounds closer again. “Send me yer location, then, we’ll be right there to fix yer shitty car in time for supper.”

-*- 

It doesn’t take long before you hear the sound of a motorcycle approaching in the distance. You barely take notice because Kid talked about a tow truck, so it must be someone who came to the beach just in time to catch the sunset. 

But when the red-and-black Harley comes to a full stop next to you, you turn, brow raised. It is Kid. He drops the kickstand, steadying the bike as he dismounts in a move that’s way sexier than it should be, before removing his helmet, a huge grin already plastered on his lips. 

You can’t stop a smile from curving your lips at the sight of him. His cocky attitude rubbing off on you in all the right ways. 

“Ye did miss me.” Tilting his head to the side while running his fingers through his unkempt hair, he gives you a once-over, his brow raising in appreciation, and you bite your lower lip at the attention. “Lookin’ good there, Sparkles.”

You pull away from the car and cross your arms, fighting a shiver since the weather has turned nippy now that the sun has just set. “You’re quite conceited, aren’t you?”

Kid places his helmet on the handlebar of the bike and removes his leather jacket, not missing the way your eyes linger on his exposed biceps because he’s only wearing a greased-up grey tank top. You raise your brow as you notice that this time he has a metal prosthetic arm on - he didn’t have it when you met him at the farm. “Maybe. But yer still oglin’ me, so I think I have a right to be.” His grin deepens. 

You feel your cheeks burn as you clear your throat and look away, choosing to point at the car’s open hood instead. “Shitty car’s dead. Can you fix it or not?”

Kid stares at you with that impossibly cocky grin for a few more moments before reaching under his bike seat and grabbing a tool belt. 

“‘Course I can fix it, City Girl. It’s what I do.” Then he drapes his jacket over your shoulders, not even stopping to acknowledge the gesture. “Hold this, will ya?” he says nonchalantly, but you’re pretty sure he did it because he saw you shiver. 

After a few moments of fidgeting with the engine, curses spewing from his lips like a second language, he grunts. “Shit’s really dead. I need parts. Gonna take it to the shop and finish up there, okay?”

You tilt your head to the side, your arms hugging your body, though now that you’ve slipped on his jacket you feel warmer. In more ways than one, because it smells so much like him that you swear you’re becoming intoxicated.

“Weren’t you going to bring the tow?”

As if on cue, you hear a truck approach and stop next to you. A tall man with a blonde mane descends from the steps, the lower half of his face is hidden behind a skull-patterned black-and-white bandana, his eyes shadowed behind bangs. 

“Hey, Killer,” Kid says. “Meet Sparkles,” he adds while pointing at you with his thumb. “Sparkles, this is Killer, he works with me.”

You frown. “Nice to meet you, Killer. That’s not my name, though.” 

“Sorry, it’s City Girl,” Kid adds with a shit-eating grin before you can even say your name.

“It’s not!” You stamp your foot, much like an exasperated child, and Kid grins, rolling his wrench between two fingers while leaning against your car. Then you turn back to Killer and introduce yourself properly. 

“Nice to meet you too,” he answers. “I’m sorry if my friend has no manners, I don’t condone his behaviour at all.” Kid grumbles something at him, and Killer’s eyes wrinkle as he turns back to his friend, almost as if he’s grinning behind his mask. “I get what you meant the other day, man, I can see why you were so smitten.”

Your eyes widen as your mouth opens in shock. Kid leans away from the car, his hands balling into fists as he bares his teeth at Killer. “What the fuck, man?”

Killer raises his hands in mock defense, and his shoulders shake as if he’s containing a laugh. “Just stating facts, brother.”

Does this mean that Kid talked to him about you? You feel your cheeks flush with heat. You have to admit that there’s definitely an attraction between you two. Clearly, the banter and flirting come easily, the question is, is this a door you want to open? So soon after your breakup? Or is this exactly the time to open it and see what’s on the other side? Even if it’s just a fun ride?

“Shut up, asshole, and haul this piece of junk out of here. Needs new spark plugs, I’ll take care of it in the shop.” Kid’s still grumbling, his eyes not even meeting yours after the revelation, which clearly means that it’s true. 

Killer raises one of his brows, his head tilting like he’s suspicious. “Plugs? But we have–”

“In the shop, ‘k?” Kid nearly snarls, and Killer shuts up with a slight, barely audible chuckle. Then he starts to prepare the tow, readying the cable to latch it onto your car. 

You sigh, looking at your car, the banter and fun forgotten for a moment. “Well, crap.” You grab your phone, already thinking about calling Nami or Robin to come rescue you when Kid speaks. 

“Need a ride, Sparkles?” Your eyes leave your phone to look at your car, then at the tow, then back at Kid with a puzzled expression. Yes, maybe you can ride the tow truck back to the shop, it would certainly be closer to home. “Nuh-uh. There.” He uses two fingers to press against your cheek and move your head so you’re staring at his motorcycle, and your breath hitches. “Aye. That one.”

Biting your lower lip to try and suppress a grin, you nod softly. Riding on the back of a motorcycle with Kid? Hell yeah. Shit. Maybe you’ll be opening that door way sooner than you expected. “Sure.” You answer, not sure if you managed to hide your excitement, maybe not even caring if you didn’t. 

“Kill–”

“Yeah, yeah, meet you at the shop, got it.” You can almost perceive the amusement behind Killer’s words, even though you can’t see his lips to confirm if he’s smiling or not. 

You take your purse and keys from the car, handing the latter to Killer, and then approach the bike, looking at it both in awe and slight fear. Kid, never letting his smirk falter, grabs the helmet and hands it to you. “Ye can keep the jacket on, it gets cold.”

You nod and slip on the helmet. Your fingers search the underside for the straps, but as you struggle, Kid tuts and reaches, meaning to strap it on for you in a gesture that’s way more intimate than it should be. You look at him through the opening in the visor and his eyes dart to yours twice - as he fumbles with the strap - before he snaps it shut with a grunt. “Stop yer starin’.”

“I wasn’t!” You counter with a muffled voice.

“Ye were! Makin’ me fumble with this piece of shit while I– fuck. Got it!”

“Smooth, man,” Killer says as he passes both of you, moving to pull the car in with the winch.

“Shut the fuck up!” Kid grumbles and sits on the bike. “Come on, place yer foot on the peg and hop on.”

You do as he tells you, and once you're seated, you hesitate. Where should you put your hands? Around him? That's the obvious choice, but is it too intimate? 

Kid turns his face to look at you over his shoulder and reaches for your hands. “Grab on, I ain't gonna bite ye.” Though his cheeky grin tells you differently, and now you're glad the helmet is covering your flushing cheeks. He places your hands over his stomach and tells you to interlock your fingers and hold on tight. “Hang on, Sparkles, I drive fast.”

You barely have time to reply when he starts revving the engine. The powerful bike trembles and roars beneath you, and you instantly clench your thighs against Kid for support, holding your arms around him tighter. 

He barks a smug laugh, removes the kickstand, and starts to drive. The wind blows, rushing through you at an incredible speed, the bike roars and Kid drives it like he owns the road, like he has complete control of the machine beneath him and the winding asphalt beneath the wheels. 

It makes your breath hitch and your stomach tighten up. Astonishingly, not from the speed, but from the fact that this cockiness, this assuredness of his, is infuriating. 

And frankly, hot as hell. 

The road stretches ahead without any curves, and he tests both the bike and you by picking up speed. Gritting your teeth, you hug him tighter, feeling the heat radiate through his body - even though the wind is quite chilling. You swear you feel his shoulders shake with laughter.

As you reach town limits, he slows down, one hand loses its grip on the handlebar, and pats your thigh two times. “Ye alright, there, City Girl? Too much adrenaline for ye?”

You can’t see his face, but you know by his tone that he’s grinning. Smug asshole. “Fine!” You yell back, gritting your teeth again to ground yourself. By the time he pulls up at the farmhouse, you exhale a breath you didn’t even realise you were holding back. 

“Got ye home safe, Sparkles.” Kid grins, and you struggle to remove the helmet until he helps you. His fingers linger on your jaw for a fraction of a second longer than they should, and the skin he touches burns. 

“Geez, Kid. You drive like a freaking maniac.” You get off the bike on unsteady feet, and he chuckles as you have to use his arms for support. 

“Maniac? It’s called skill, sweetheart!” 

You scoff, fingers threading through your hair to fix it as a lazy grin curves your lips. “It’s called being reckless, that’s what it is.”

“Oi, yer home safe! Stop complainin’.” He gets into your space, leaning his head down to look right into your eyes, and damn it, his eyes are intense. “Ye liked it.”

The faintest of blushes spreads through your cheeks as you turn and walk one step back to regain some distance from him. “I won’t stroke your ego, it’s already large enough as it is.” Kid snorts, and you know he’s about to pull a dirty joke, so you remove his jacket from your shoulders and extend it to him. “Here. Thanks for letting me borrow it.”

Kid takes one look at the jacket, crosses his arms, and leans against the bike, tilting his head slightly. “Keep it. Looks good on ye.”

“It’s huge,” you say and immediately purse your lips.

“I know.” Kid grins, and you chuckle, curling your fingers around the fabric, you nudge it towards him.

“Take it, Kid, thank you.”

Kid sighs, extending his hand towards the jacket, but when he grabs the collar, he pulls, making you stumble and crash right into his solid chest. Instinctively, his other hand comes up to steady you, wrapped securely around your waist. “Tell ye what, Sparkles,” his hot breath fans your eyelids as you raise your head to meet his gaze, and his scent engulfs you - grease, gasoline, and metal. “Wear it a little longer, and when it smells like ye…” Kid lets out a low grunt, his eyes dropping to your lips for a fraction of a second. “Give it back.”

Shit.

Fuck.

This is dangerous territory right here. Since you’ve met Kid - cocky, smug, reckless, loud, infuriating - you’ve been walking on thin ice. Everything about him screams ‘bad decision,’ but he also feels right for what you need at the moment. Even when you thought that what you needed was peace and quiet - here comes the loudest man you’ve ever met to prove you wrong. 

Kid lets go of the jacket and removes his hand from your waist, almost as if he, too, is weighing the pros and cons of letting this attraction run its course. Because you can’t deny it: you’re attracted to Kid like a moth to a flame. And, from the looks of it, it’s reciprocated. 

Ignoring the cold feeling his lack of touch leaves in your body, you clear your throat and put the jacket back over your shoulders, trying to suppress a shiver that has nothing to do with the cold, from shaking you. 

“Okay. Thanks. Erm… my car?” Steering the conversation to safer topics seems like the most sensible thing to do. 

Kid clears his throat too, his flesh hand rubbing the back of his neck. “It’ll be fixed by tomorrow mornin’, swing by whenever.” You nod and turn again, your stomach churning at the thought of him leaving, and you sigh. “Might even give ya a discount, City Girl.”

You turn your head back, lips curving into an easy grin. “Yeah?”

“Nah. A man’s gotta take home the bacon.” You let out a chuckle as he gets back on his bike, revving the engine loud just to piss you off. “Don’t think too hard about me.” He winks, and you bite your lower lip, trying to suppress a grin. 

“Think about your cocky ass? In your dreams, Kid.”

Kid places the helmet on his head, hiding the cheeky grin before replying to you. “Sparkles, ye are the star of my dreams.” Then, he slams the visor down, gunning the engine of the bike as it roars to life. The front tire barely budges, but he turns the back of the bike in a sharp turn, letting it slide effortlessly against the gravel as he faces the road. 

Then he speeds off, leaving you staring at the dust he left behind with slightly parted lips. 

Bad decisions. Oh, for sure.

You enter the house, shaking your head, your body still hot from Kid’s touch, your head still light from infinite possibilities. But before you even hang your purse, Shanks appears, coming from the living room with a bit of a sway to his steps. 

“Hey, Bug!” he exclaims. “Was that a bike?” Your father points at the door.

You nod with another heavy sigh. “Stupid car broke down on me, had to call Kid to try and fix it. Killer took it to the garage, but it needs parts, so I’ll pick it up tomorrow.” Shanks seems to sober up quickly. His brow raises as if you haven’t answered his question, so you continue. “Kid brought me home on his bike, so yes, that was a bike.”

Shanks purses his lips, his gaze now lingering on the oversized jacket you’re wearing - a leather jacket that’s clearly not yours because Shanks doubts you have something with the logo of Kid’s garage slapped on the back.

But he doesn’t say anything. 

And neither do you.

-*-

Shanks is already sipping his coffee when you come down for breakfast, still yawning. You had some trouble falling asleep because sleep just wouldn’t come. Every time you closed your eyes, you got a whiff of his scent - that seemed to have clung to your very being - and your mind took you to places where you didn’t want it to.

Even though some of those fantasies were quite interesting.

“Morning, Dad,” you mutter as you fill up your own cup of coffee. “Want some eggs? Toast? Fruit?”

Your father raises his eyebrow at your dishevelled state but keeps his comments to himself. “Toast sounds good, Bug, thank you.”

You nod, yawn again, find two slices of bread for your father, a bagel for you, and stick them in the toaster. 

“Trouble sleeping?” Shanks takes butter and some jam from the fridge, placing them on the table alongside some strawberries and grapes. 

“Yeah, I guess. Something kept me up.” Not looking at your father is the right choice because you can already feel your cheeks heating up. Shanks hums, and you think that might be the end of it because he starts talking about the game and how his team ‘completely sucked’ and how he’s not sure why he’s still a fan.

It’s not until both your plates are cleaned that he finally says the words he has been mulling over. “See, honey, I feel like I need to say something.” He huffs in exasperation as he starts clearing the plates, clearly uncomfortable with the conversation. 

“Be careful dealing with Kid, okay?”

What?

“Dealing with Kid?”

“Yeah, I mean… You just met him, and he already gave you his jacket?” Shanks scratches the back of his head, avoiding eye contact. 

“Because it was cold.”

“Sure, but the bike ride–”

“I needed a ride, I knew you wouldn’t be in a fit state to drive, and before I bothered my friends, he volunteered. Dad, I don’t get where this is going.”

Shanks sighs and mutters something unintelligible under his breath. “Right, you’re right. It’s just, you don’t know him very well, and he’s… well, he’s a good man but… well… he’s dangerous.”

Raising a brow, you continue cleaning up the table, still deciding whether you should ask him to elaborate or just let it go. 

He elaborates. 

“He’s an angry man who deals with situations with his fists rather than his brain. I just want you safe, Bug.”

“Dad, as you said, I just met him. He’s fixing my car. That’s it.” But is it, though? “You don’t have to worry, okay? Thanks for the heads-up, though, now come on. Let's feed the animals before I go pick up my car.”

He nods and follows you outside, clearly not meaning to add anything else. But you can’t shake the feeling that his words were very ominous and that you should be careful around Kid.

Pairing: Arthur Morgan x Female Reader

Author's Note: For some reason I LOVE imagining High Honor Arthur so confused, awkward, and utterly obsessed with women - especially after your last rendesvouz with him *wink wink.* If you haven't read the first part, I highly encourage you to read it as I have it tagged above (I apoligize for the ugly link, I'm still trying to figure out Tumbr.) I've had the first part of this written for sometime now, but for the past few weeks I've been going back and forth between several other Arthur fan fictions I've been wanting to write, and I finally got around to finishing this one. So all in all, enjoy!

PS: My 2019 Macbook air decided to stop spell checking for me, so please give me a break on any errors present.

Summary: It's your turn.

Warning: MDNI, graphic sexual contact, oral sex

-

It was no secret that Arthur liked to wander.

And for the past several days he had been wandering over New Hanover doing absolutely nothing but trying to shake the thought of you.

Shot a rabbit once or twice, caught a couple fish near Owanjila, bought a treasure map off of a so called “adventurer.” But nothing seemed to cure him from the incessant memory that was you with his cock down your throat.

Now, as Arthur kicked pebbles down the Dakota River, a budding erection forming in his work jeans, he couldn’t help but to feel guilty. Arthur was no saint, and Hell would have to freeze over before he called himself one, but he knew the difference between right and wrong.

The cowboy knew you weren’t some cheap pair of legs he had bought at the saloon. He didn’t pay for your company, everything you did was out of your own free will. And perhaps that’s why he felt so guilty. Because when you stared at him, with that god awful grin plastered on your face, he didn’t take your hand and throw you on the cot with him.

He didn’t return the favor.

And now that’s all he dreamt of.

Your sweet juices pouring down his stubble as your delicate hands roamed through his hair. His tongue dancing against your sweet cunt as he looked up at your disheveled face. Your legs tightening around his neck in such pleasure that you were forced to moan into a pillow to silence yourself.

The thought itself turned him mad.

The cowboy let out an exuberant huff, realizing what he had to do. Whistling for his Turkoman, he jumps on the back of his mare, riding swiftly to Horseshoe Overlook as the sun falls below the horizon.

-

“Good to see you Arthur,” Hosea chimes as the gunslinger enters back into camp, slinging his saddle across the hitching post with a loud thump.

But the outlaw ignores his mentor.

Like a man on a mission, Arthur's sharp eyes scan the camp until they land on you standing by the fire, a half-drunk beer in hand. His stomach tightens as he watches Sean tell a joke, the small crowd, including you, erupting into a deafening roar of laughter.

Without another thought, the cowboy stalks towards the crowded campfire, placing himself silently beside you, doing his best to remain unnoticed. With a shaky exhale, he drags his calloused pinky across the side of your hand inconspicously, desperate to divert your attention from ostentatious irishman.

Like rain on a cool summer day, Arthur's heart pitter-patters inside his chest when your eyes widen in realization, meeting his with a dumbfounded gaze. His stomach nearly dropping as your lips gently part, just as they had for him in privacy all those days ago.

“Mr. Morgan,” you whisper in acknowledgment, a knowing grin tugging at your lips.

As your sultry gaze met his, Arthur had gone mute.

What was he supposed to say?

As if his vocal chords had been ripped out as a form of torture, the best he could choke out was, "I....You....Sorry."

Your brows furrow in confusion, tilting your head as if you were trying to decipher his mess of words.

Arthur attempts again, only for another string of nonsensical babble to spill from his lips. Frustrated, he lets out a curse under his breath before grabbing your hand and pulling you away from the drunken commotion without another word.

"Arthur?" You're able to drawl, awkwardly stumbling behind the cowboy as he swiftly drags you across camp, his hand fiercely attached to yours like a predator to prey. "Arthur!" You innocently laugh as he pulls you into the closed quarters of your private abode. "What'r doin'?"

The cowboy rapidly pulls down the flap of your canvas tent, turning to you with a scowl etched on his face. He grabs both your hands into his own, and opens his mouth in any attempt to just speak his mind. But once again, he is only able to choke out a string of meaningless rabble. In frustration, he drops your hands and quickly rubs his temples before falling onto his knees in front of you, not breaking your gaze.

And with a clear, desperate message, he hoarsely breaths, "Let me." Just as you had done days before.

Arthur's cock hardens as you look down at him, biting your lip out of seduction and bobbing your head up and down with a definite yes. He lets out an exhale of relief, quickly standing back up and instantly crashing his lips into yours without a second thought.

It was if God himself had given Arthur the ability to speak again as between kisses he is able to muster, "you've driven me mad." His hands reach up to cup the backs up your thighs, easily lifting you off the ground and setting you in your cot so your legs easily hang off the side. As if he were a godly man, he falls onto his knees in front of you with every ounce of prowess running through his veins.

You prop yourself up on your forearms, watching the man make slow work of the laces on your boots, refusing to loose eye contact as he slips your shoes off and neatly places them under your cot. "You've turned me into dog, woman," he confesses, shaking his head in utter fascination.

You push yourself to a sitting position, "Oh, Arthur," you yearn, knowing that for days, months, years, that this moment is what you had dreamt off.

You cup his chin in your hands as he stares deep into your soul, making work of your socks as he stares back at you, completely in awe of the beautiful creature in front him. He grabs your right leg, his calloused finger pulling them to his lips where he lands several soft kisses. Only stopping to inhale your sweet scent; worshipping you as if you were an ancient goddess.

You shudder as you fall onto your forearms, your head tilting down as you watch the cowboy hike your skirt onto your hips and place tender kisses upwards towards your thigh. His right hand, tensly gripping your left leg outward as you tilt your head up in pleasure

His stubble gently pokes at the sensitive skin of your inner thigh, taking his right hand and slowly pulling down your bloomers, tossing them into the corner of your tent without care. His hands find their way to your thighs, cocking your legs outward to him as if you were his to feast on.

Dumbfounded, the cowboy remains silent for several moments, admiring you bare cunt as if it were a prized painting hanging in The Louvre. "S'beautiful," he whispers.

Before letting himself touch you, he looks up at you one final time for that permission he so desperately wishes you to grant him. His eyes widen like the grand canyon, so intrigued and hypnotized by your body that he would do anything at your command.

You bite your lip seductively with a small grin, taking that as his permission to rub his lips up your thighs one more time before dragging his tongue up your seam.

His delicate, crystal orbs refuse to break eye contact as his lips connect with that bundle of nerves he knows every woman enjoys, simultaneously hauling both your legs up onto his broad shoulders.

With another hitched breath, your chin tilts upwards to the top of the tent out of gratification, slowly exhaling as his mouth works you. "Look at me," the gunslinger commands against the warmth of your cunt, his tongue rocking back and forth in steady beat.

You swallow and peer back down, his eyes already glued to yours as he observes every hitched breath and moan leave your lips, still pleasurably feasting your core.

Arthur couldn't help but to feel like the luckiest man alive as he tastes you, your sweet juices melting down his stubble as his cock twitches below his jeans. Your hands find his chestnut locks, gripping his shoulder length hair into your palms, gently pulling at the strands every which way. You fingers twist through his mane, just as he had fantasized days priors.

But Arthur was a greedy man; he wanted more.

He lifts your legs off of his shoulders, taking your right thigh into his left hand and pushing it outward on the cot. With his tongue still deligating your bundle of nerves, he thrusts his right index finger into your core almost without warning, causing you to loudly exhale.

But that wasn't enough.

He enters his middle finger, curling his two digits upwards as he gently hits that sweet spot of yours.

You were helpless at that point.

You let out a loud, pleasurable moan as his fingers rocked back and forth, his tongue violently massaging you, his blue eyes glued to your blush ladden face.

Arthur can't help but to smile into the warmth of your cunt, knowing that he was doing a good job at every loud moan that escaped your mouth.

"Gotta keep quiete girl," he's able to assemble, quickly grabbing the small pillow off the head of your cot and placing it over your mouth, barely missing a beat of his tongue.

You hold the pillow to your mouth, hiding the sweet sounds of Arthur's accomplishments as he continues to work at you.

Second by second you can feel yourself heading towards your finish, his tongue licking back and forth as if it was dancing to a steady beat, his fingers pushing in and out of you as if his life depended on it.

Almost without warning, your hips jut upward at his mouth like a feral animal in heat as even the pillow you hold barely hides the loud, wreckless moans of your finish. The feeling of your rapidly beating heart, pumps below your belt as sweat perperates down your forehead.

Arthur's tongue doesn't leave your cunt until both your legs are cocked open lifelessly to him, your breath finally evening out as you sprawl across the cot, utterly spent.

The cowboy stands up, proudly surverying his work. Taking his sleeve and wiping off your juices from his chin, the sweet taste of you still echoing on his taste buds. His cock rock hard behind the thin fabric of his jeans.

But just as you did to him days prior, he smiles at you and turns to the flap of your tent without antoher word.

"Wait," you call out.

The cowboy turns around, his brows raising in intrigue.

And you say the words he couldn't.

"Stay."

🌿✨ Fluff Week: March 29 - April 4! ✨🌿

Hello people!!! So the poll on here has ended a bit ago and we have a winner!!!

The dates are SET! We’re officially counting down to Fluff Week, and I could not be more excited to finally share this with you! A full seven days of softness, warmth, and all the gentle, heart-melting moments we adore. Whether it’s quiet comfort, playful teasing, found family tenderness, or romance so sweet it makes your heart ache (in a good way)—this is a space for joy, kindness, and pure love in fandom.

🌸 When?

March 29 - April 4 — Mark your calendars, grab your fluffiest blankets, and prepare for a week of serotonin-filled content!

💛 What to Expect?

A whole week dedicated to fluff in all its forms—fanfiction, art, playlists, moodboards, headcanons, and more! The goal is to create a space that feels safe, inclusive, and free of toxicity, where we can all celebrate the characters and relationships that bring us comfort. Expect cozy tropes, ridiculous domestic shenanigans, soft reunions, longing gazes across candlelight, and so much hand-holding.

And yes, cuddling for warmth is always encouraged.

🏹 How to Participate?

Post your fluffy creations during the event dates and tag them with #FluffWeek2025 and many hashtags that will be revealed in due time!

If you're posting on AO3, a dedicated Fluff Week collection will be available soon!

Prompts? Themes? Stay tuned! We’ll be rolling out a few optional ones for inspiration.

A Note on Ships, Respect, and Event Rules:

This event is open to ALL pairings and characters across Lord of the Rings, The Rings of Power, The Silmarillion, and beyond. Whether you sail with Elves, stand firm with Dwarves, or find comfort in the Shire, all are welcome—as long as the content is purely fluff and aligns with the event’s themes.

That said, respect is non-negotiable.

💛 No Ship-Bashing or Fandom Drama – This event is about fluff, not discourse. Everyone is here to celebrate what they love, not tear down what they don’t. 💛 No Canon-Toxic Interpretations – Ships must be portrayed in a way that aligns with the spirit of fluff. That means no glorification of toxic, manipulative, abusive, or non-consensual dynamics. 💛 Respectful Haladriel Participation – We recognize that not all Haladriel (Galadriel/Halbrand or Galadriel/Annatar) shippers are part of the toxicity that has hurt many in this fandom. Because of this, Haladriel works are allowed—but must follow fluff guidelines. 💛 No Real-Person Harassment – This event is about fictional stories, not actors, showrunners, or other fans. Let’s keep it that way. 💛 Proper Tagging & Content Warnings – Please tag your works appropriately, especially for ships that may be sensitive topics. This helps everyone curate their own experience and engage only with what makes them comfortable. 💛 Fluff Comes First! – While emotional depth is welcome, the core of every piece should be soft, warm, and heartening. Angst-heavy works or dark hurt/comfort that don’t fit the event’s theme won’t be included.

🚨 Failure to abide by these rules will result in your work being removed from the AO3 collection and disassociated from the event. This is about joy and creativity, not fandom hostility.

A Step Forward: Healing, Fandom, and Building Something Better

I want to be honest for a moment—like so many of you, I’ve seen firsthand just how much toxicity can drain the joy from fandom spaces. The discourse, the harassment, the way it pushed so many people out of places that were meant to be for creativity and love—it left real scars.

But here’s the thing: we’re still here.

And Fluff Week is a step toward reclaiming that joy. It’s about choosing to focus on what we love, on what makes us happy, and on creating something warm and safe together. This isn’t about pretending the past didn’t happen, or ignoring the harm many of us went through. It’s about choosing to move forward, on our terms, with clear boundaries and a commitment to making fandom better.

If you’ve ever felt pushed out, if you’ve been made to feel like your ship isn’t valid enough, if you’ve been hesitant to share your work because of past experiences—please know you belong here. This event is for you. 💛

And if you choose not to engage with certain ships or content? That’s okay. You are 100% supported in curating your own fandom experience in a way that feels safe and comfortable for you.

At the end of the day, this event is about celebrating love, care, and the beautiful connections between characters. Let’s build something warm, inclusive, and full of light together.

Stay tuned for more updates, prompts, and inspiration! If you have questions, suggestions, or just want to yell about your favorite fluffy headcanons, drop them in the replies! 💖🌿✨

Hello I am a big fan of your work But I have a request (if request are even open then u can ignore it) how would the HLC characters react to MC being able to transform into a Hungarian Horntail dragon? (Btw have a great day or night and drink water please)

A/N: Blog rules and request updates are put on the pinned post at the top of the blog! If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a DM :3

HLC REACT TO MC TURNING INTO A HUNGARIAN HORNTAIL

MC still doesn't know the limits of ancient magic, but apparently, it includes being able to transform oneself into a powerful magical beast of their choice for a time. Today, the beast of choice was the ferocious Hungarian Horntail dragon. Admittedly, MC was just showing off.

They show their closest friends and mentor the full transformation and even a fireblast demonstration. Then they sit pretty to soak in the praise. They know they look cool.

SEBASTIAN SALLOW: His jaw was already on the ground when MC transformed, but it somehow got lower when he witnessed the 40ft jet of fire rise from MC's maw. Such POWER. He wants to see MC decimate a dark wizard outpost. Set fire to EVERYTHING!

OMINIS GAUNT: He can feel the rumble of the earth beneath him with every step MC takes. The heat of the flames makes him turn away. Just the low rumble from MC's throat sends shivers down his spine. This is the closest he EVER wants to get to the real thing. Even though he knows it's MC, it's a scary experience.

ANNE SALLOW: She's more collected than her brother, but still as excited over MC's ability to burn everything in their path. Just thinking about what MC could do with a single breath makes her giddy. She's as much a firebug as Sebastian, she's just better at keeping her head.

IMELDA REYES: She is a simple woman with simple interests. See dragon, must race. Fly MC! Show her what you're really made of! Bet she could fly circles around them. Bet they can catch her? Prove it!

NATSAI ONAI: She'll beat Poppy to the punch about asking for rides. The spines make it challenging but she'll figure something out. She grabs MC by the nostrils and gets in their face. "Let me ride you! ...wait, that sounded-... You know what I mean!"

GARRETH WEASLEY: He NEEDS to hear them roar. Dragons are so strong that they don't even need to use fire. A roar from a fully grown dragon at close range can shatter eardrums. You feel the shockwave of sound go through your body. His ears ring for a bit even though he covered them.

LEANDER PREWETT: He's feeling so inadequate as a wizard. He can barely balance on a broom right and MC can transfigure themself into a mother loving DRAGON. No fair...

AMIT THAKKAR: He's dying to know how this works. This is magic that's either never been seen or never recorded, because he's never even heard of anyone capable of this without being some sort of rare animagus. MC needs to be studied, and he's the one to do it. Next to the stars themselves, MC is the universe's greatest mystery.

EVERETT CLOPTON: Dragons scare the ever living shit out of him. They're big, powerful and sometimes go after broom flyers when hungry. Hell admire MC from a distance. Like, way back behind the stoney hill, distant. Please don't come closer, he will cry.

POPPY SWEETING: She's absolutely ECSTATIC! She can examine a powerful dragon up close that isn't trying to eat her. It's a dream come true! She does circles around MC, taking in every detail. She takes out a small, leather bound book and a piece of charcoal and sketches every part MC lets her study. When MC puts their snoot right up against her, she actually squeals a little with excitement. She gets to TOUCH a live dragon. She's on cloud nine and never wants to come down.

ELEAZAR FIG: When MC tells him this is something they could do thanks to ancient magic, the only thing he can think is: "Miriam would have loved to see this." He's so proud. MC is capable of way more than he ever thought. He only hopes to live long enough to witness the rest of the wizarding world realize the same.

Before you read below just so you know we have potential spoilers ahead so please, if you don’t want any spoilers just ignore this post and look somewhere else. If you do though, feel free to read along and ask away once you’ve finished reading! Enjoy!

For more descriptiveness of the theories below here’s the link to the trailer to get the ideas flowing. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq9kn2MD-0A&pp=ygUOdGhlIGJhZCBndXlzIDI%3D

When it comes to waiting, it’s really hard to not be impatient. We still have a long way to go and I believe we’re already 55% done with the whole wait for the movie to be ready in theaters. In my personal opinion this may be a good time to explain my thoughts and details of the movie trailer we got back in November.

The trailer and concepts were good, but I felt like they released the trailer way too early, they should have kept that trailer hidden a bit longer until either late march or mid April. And like the first trailer for the first movie they did give out many story spoilers which easily pieces together some of the the events in my mind of what I thought it was going to be about.

So about the trailer here. The second movie trailer had Mr. Wolf pull off a heist with his team in Egypt based off of the pyramids in the distance, and The Bad Guys successfully pulled it off by getting their new stolen car through the city without being caught. They were a bit messy but as a bad guy, you want to create so much chaos to stop anyone from catching you. They were living the dream as the greatest villains and thieves of all time until 5 years later when they were living a hard life on the opposite side of the law.

After turning good they seem to have a poor shabby broken down van as transportation, (their old car’s end result is explained in Little Lies and Alibis) Wolf explains how they have gone good after serving their time in prison for one year based on good behavior as they struggle to find solace in their new lives. Given their history they haven’t gotten much luck finding jobs for themselves to earn a living.

Next we see a new group of villains known as there Bad Girls lead by Kitty Kat, a snow leopard who in my opinion is really cool and hot based on her build. (I know I might be getting a little too much into that) the rest of the team consists of Pigtail, a wild boar who looks like some kind of engineer, and Doom, a raven who is very small given a bird’s natural size who made an interesting joke on Piranha. Calling him a Mango with Teeth. Clever. Anyway, the three ladies captured the bad guys somehow and are being held hostage in a warehouse of some sorts. Saying that they are students and fans of the Bad Guys work, and that they need assistance with “a job” and their services are required since they are desperate to finding one. The mission seems what appears to be stealing an actual rocket ship. But what for?Wolf first assured Kitty that they are good but unfortunately she venomously said to him that no wasn’t an answer for this job.

So later we cut to see them driving away in a food truck from an army of luchador fighters as Piranha asks if they’re bad again. Earlier we see Chief Luggins become what appears to be a commissioner of some sorts due to the fact of the new jacket she’s wearing and perhaps a promotion of getting the bad guys near the end of the first movie. Meanwhile back to the chase scene we see the back of the food van open up revealing Shark and Piranha wearing what looked like Chicken themed wrestler outfits without the face masks as they were counter attacking the luchadors with ketchup and mustard. The question is why are they running away from the luchadors and why in a food truck? Well we’ll get to that later on.

So back to the trailer, now we see an earlier shot of the wrestling match where the luchadors were from but we see Shark and Piranha fully outfitted in the Chicken wrestler outfits as Shark throws Piranha at another wrestler wearing black and a cape who is also masked. With Wolf also saying V.O. We just have to do this one last job. Ok so so far the wrestling thing is something but what else is there?

Now we get to a shot of the top of the rocket still docked to a loading platform where three figures are running towards the rocket, but we also see Diane Foxington, a fan favorite running towards them and even smacking Kitty in the face with a briefcase. Obviously there is some kind of vendetta going on here but later we see the rocket launching as well as Tiffany Fluffit, a news reporter from the first film reporting live at the scene where a helicopter is in pursuit of it as it heads towards the rising rocket. Then we see the bad guys on the rocket running towards the Space shuttle and jump off the booster section trying to reach it.

There were two more scenes with Shark impersonating someone named Marco who is heading a Wedding reception as well as talking with an odd Italian Accent. Then finally the trailer ends with an interesting scene of Doom in a different outfit looking like a hippy seducing Snake. Even calling her his girlfriend. The rest of the group are at odds with this but then get grossed out when the two lovebirds make out in the van. Then the trailer ends there.

Now here’s the thing. Obviously no one has seen this new movie yet except for the people behind the scenes. What I’m going to do is try to answer as many clues and hints from this trailer to see if we have an answer to figuring out what we would expect to see in the new movie. First we know that the original movie was based off of the books 1-4 and this one is going to be based off of books 5-10. There are so many details to go off of here but here’s what we know so far: the rocket ship, the bad girls, Diane returning, and the bad guys heading for space for this one last job.

Obviously the fifth book has the intro of the girls group with the three bad girls on the team with different designs but we also see here is Diane in there as well who was named Ellen in the books and Pigtail named Hogwild. There’s also a fifth member of the group. A Tasmanian devil named Rhonda who’s code name is Shortfuse. In my opinion, my theory is that from the first movie I don’t think Diane’s story is complete and they did it on purpose to set some character development here in this one. The story she told to wolf in the car of her changing her ways didn’t seem right because when it comes to world class heists no one alone can pull this off so it is possible that Diane was never a solo artist and that those three other women were part of her group together along with the fifth member. That fifth member may be the result of why they disbanded in the first place or how something went wrong during the heist and that she had to abandon it.

This in my thought made me think that this is what would have made Diane a lot better. She was part of this team instead of doing everything by herself. The Bad Guys themselves did their heists together in perfect sync. Though they had a few slip ups they still did grand in their planning. Diane from the first movie I felt like was a Narcissist in her wording when she insulted the bad guys which gave me the idea she has done this type of thing before. Not just her piercing in her eyebrow gave away a certain badness of her and her showoff moves as the Crimson Paw, she was a bit reckless as well. She thought she was better than anyone else and thought she didn’t need her team to do anything else but her wag didn’t happen. No one saw it.

The wag was the term used when someone feels really good. The bad guys had it, wolf of course felt it first, even Marmalade the main antagonist had it too later on, so why didn’t she do it? This I knew was something off. She wanted her other persona to be good but later I felt like maybe there’s a chance of change. This will be tested with her own words if her friends were really her friends, they would understand. Just like she said to wolf.

Now for the Bad Girls themselves, I feel like they are doing this to perhaps go to space to find another meteorite like the last movie presented because they want to be special thieves. This is my own thought here but reasoning needs to happen first. So if you take a closer look at Kitty Kat’s right eye, we can see a green ring around the pupil. Something that most of us thought was an animation error but was supposed to appear there. Something tells me that will get further explained in the story.

There’s also the part where Luggins was saying something about keeping an eye on the bad guys which happened outside the wrestling ring. I think the moment where Piranha asked if the bad guys were bad again will tell us that the bad girls were doing these acts of crimes not only to frame the original team but to draw them out into the open for easy capture.

Now the wrestling scene. I think that we’re going to see a bit more of Pigtail than you realize. The body build of the chicken duo’s opponent looks more like a pig due to the hair style poking out of the mask, the nose and tusks, and the feet there. Seeing Pigtail do wrestling would be an awesome thing to see. Should there be chemistry between her and one of the bad guys? Well we’ll see for sure.

Also I bet Snake and Doom will have their moment both before and after the wrestling moment in the movie and they will have their make out session but another part of when the Bad Guys actually get kidnapped by the Bad Girls as part of a ruse for their “recruitment”.

Now the Rocket launch sequence what was interesting here is that Diane appeared above the bad girls before the rocket launched. We can tell because there was no eruption happening beneath the rocket. Later we see a helicopter heading towards the rocket as it just launched. My bet is that the bad guys are trying to stop the girls as they backed off from the mission as they try to get to the rocket and stop it. Why? Did the bad girls get on the rocket? Is Diane trapped in there with them or is something else going on? Well another thing to notice is that Webs, aka Miss Tarantula, the fifth member of the Bad Guys, is not running up the rocket like the rest of the team as we see only four members running up. She wasn’t sitting on Shark as we see them running and leaping off but what happens next is up to you guys. One last thing to note. I will talk about Diane and Wolf’s relationship later on in another post but I will say something here. The wedding scene. This might actually be happening for two someone’s or maybe something rare. It could happen to Wolf and Diane as their romance will finally blossom. Maybe Snake and Doom’s relationship happens for real after development, or maybe a few other members will fall in love with the other members of the Bad Girls team. Who’s to say? There are other rumors about Marmalade returning and I bet he will actually turn out to be an alien revealed in the books. But hey this is just a theory, a film theory!

Hope you guys liked what you’ve read here and get a clearer idea of what we could see in the movie, I will be making another post related to this real soon as I have some other pressing matters to attend to.

I know I didn’t have any pictures for this to make this more descriptive and a lot easier to explain but I do have the link for the trailer at the top. Be sure to watch it in case you missed it.

[wormchamp72]

hiii!! im a new jeff the killer fan :p how do you recommend i enjoy the character of jeff appropriately? xD

First of all, you need 2 know that NO ONE. And I mean no one. Can tell you how 2 truly enjoy Jeff the Killer. Every person is unique... it is wrong 2 assume that 1 man's pleasure is every man's pleasure. Each person must form their own unique relationship with scintillating character that is Jeff the Killer (though 2 some, he is more than a character).

HOWEVER.

I, Wormchamp72, do have my... opinions.

While no one can dictate how you enjoy Jeff the Killer, there are certainly some ways that are better than others. Some ways, I shudder to think of...

So if you want 2 know how to enjoy Jeff appropriately, you have come 2 the right place.

DO NOT "cutesify" him. Ugh....what a thought. You may be shocked 2 hear me say this...after all, who would do such a thing 2 Jeff? The answer may be far worse than you thought...all too often I am scrolling my beloved "dash" and find nothing but UWU YAOI (2 be clear I do support yaoi it is art too and I support the gay rights movement nothing but love 2 my gay supporteers u are loved and seen by The Worm) BOY BL CUTE XOXO UWUWUWUWUWU OWO I WANT TO KISS JEFF THE KILLER HOT STEAMY MAKEOUT SESH JEFF X TOBI TICCIJEFF EROTIC NSFT. UGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (2 be clear no hate is meant)

Need I say why that is porblematic? I could go on.....send asks if u want me 2 go on or actually i will make my own post about it ugghhhh I am seething just thinking about it I saw art of jeff and Ticci Tobi without SHIRTS uggggh now I understand if it is for a tastefull piece of art such as a rendition of Michaelangelo's David where jeff the Killer is the one pointing and Ticcie Tobi is the other guy (sorry I dont jnow bibnle lore I grew up in an aethiest household) but THIS HAD S3XUAL IMPLICATIONS shown by there blushing UGGGGHHHH I almost thought of BLOCKING THE TAG OF JEFF BUT I LOVE IT 22222 MUCH 2 BLOCK GET OFF OF HERE IF U POST NSFT JEFF ART (Not safe 4 tumbler)

Do not fetishize his pain and suffering. Now, one may take a brief look at my blog (does not apply 2 followers (love)) and think that I am part of the problem in romanticizing Jeff's suffering. However, if you read more than a couple of my posts, you will see that I truly understand Jeff's pain and am not romanticizing it. I simply relate 2 it on an emotional level that others cannot truly understand. Thus it is perfectly alright when I do it but when others try to romanticize his pain it comes off as disingenuous. If you want me 2 judge if you are allowed to relate 2 Jeff the Killer like I can, send me an ask and I will tell you if you can.

Do not make fun of him. I have seen all too many posts calling him "dumb" or a "loser." Grrrrr....How do you Not Understand that YUOU are PART OF THE PROBLEM when u do that????? That is the readon Jeff has BURNS AND CUT HIS MOUTH OPEN YOU 3FFOING #@$%^T!@$%^&*(*&^%$%^&*I(O*&^%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE HE 3FFING BULLIES WHO DO U HTHINK U ARE BEING A CREEPYPASTA FAN AYUJ U ARE NOT A REAL FAN IF YOU DON THESE THINGS U ARE THE BULLIES NBHJJNN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do not ignore Jeff's burn scars. They are a crucial part of his character. There are many interpretations, but whatever you do, do not ignore them in favor of making him more "attractive." It is alright 2 find Jeff a little attractive, but if you have 2 take away his scars 2 do so...take a long look at yourself and rethink your values.

Other than that feel free 2 enjoy Jeff the Killer however you please. Lots of Love,

Why are you arcane fans trying to redeem viserys bc you like Harry Lloyd 😭 are we just going to ignore he abused Dany her whole life

Hi Anon, well I can not speak for anyone else, so I will tell you my opinion.

I am assuming that you are referring to this post, please feel free to correct me if I am wrong

Personally Harry Lloyd playing both Viserys and Viktor has nothing to do with my most recent post, but now that you mention it, I can see why it seems that way

Yes Viktor is my fave Arcane character, but in reality I made that post because I am finishing reading Fire & Blood and The Tales Of Dunk And Egg and the Targaryen in general are living rent-free in my mind

I personally don't want to redeem Viserys. He is a mess of a guy and I love him for it. I tend to love characters who are unapologetically evil and the narrative embraces that fact. What I mean with this is, for example, in both ASOIAF and GOT the narrative tells you Viserys is a piece of shit, and you know that, and Viserys knows that, and Daenerys knows that. Meanwhile I do not like HOTD Viserys because he is not a good person, yet the narrative always treats him as a saint . So that is why Dany's brother gets to be 'The Cooler Viserys' in my eyes

In general, I just enjoy villainous characters who do things because they can, they want to, and because why not? Viserys is not the only one, there are other characters who are some of my all-time fave who are like that like Makima from Chainsaw Man, Johan from Monster, Tom Riddle from Harry Potter, Eren from SNK, Sukuna from jjk, or Silco himself from Arcane. Just manipulative messy bitches, and Viserys does not even look that evil compared to some from this list LMAO.

So yeah, I like Viserys, but I do not want to redeem him at all. I like him being an spoiled toxic dude who comes from a family of colonizers who practice incest, magic, and use their dragons to kill small-folk because they see themselves as 'Closer to Gods than men' , so yeah

Ah, and yes, I love Harry Lloyd and have always had since I watched GOT S1. He did a brilliant job portraying both Viserys and Viktor!

A Proper Introduction

This has been up for a while, so allow me to actually shorten this a bit now XD-

Hi! If you don't know me, please just address me as Ducky! Some of the things you'll quickly find out if you stick around on my little piece of the internet (I call it the duck pond-) is that I cosplay, do art (I went to college for animation, but I do tend to draw very slowly at times, lol-) and write. I also stream every Friday, or at least try to. I do have things that do get in the way of my regular posting schedules, so I do apologize if I go weeks on end without streaming or posting gameplay-

For the most part, I do tend to do a lot of art for One Piece. HOWEVER, there are certain fandoms that I will occasionally make art for... unless I'm just posting vent art of some kind. Which is rare, but I do every now and then. (Also, you will catch me making and posting art of my oc x cc shippings because...why not? FREE WILL EXISTS FOR A REASON, SHUSH-) Uhhh...other things to know for fun because why not? :D -I go by she/her -I'm 22, but VERY awkward with talking to everyone -I'm a Gemini! -INFJ with a 9w1 enneagram :3 -I am ALWAYS looking for peeps to do art/cosplay collabs with! So don't be afraid to reach out at anytime to ask to do one! ^v^ -The anxiety levels are over 9,000 (Hence the reason it might feel like I'm ignoring you or most people in general. I just have a hard time with talking to people, but I'm trying to work on it!) -HUGE card and coin collector. I mostly collect One Piece cards, but...have you seen Bisai's art for the different sets? Their art is so pretty!! >w< So, I actually collect to appreciate the art, lol (And am currently looking to try and find someone that could help me learn how to play the game-) -Favorite voice actor is Ian Sinclair. (He does a lot of cool roles :3) -Top five One Piece Characters (In no real order): Thatch, Corazon, Heat, Killer, and Fukaboshi (The rest of Whitebeard's crew is right behind them, lol-) -Oddly enough, I've come to realize that most of my favorite characters over all of the anime and games I'm in are ENFJs, and I don't know how it keeps happening XD Uhhhh...Oh, right! Things to know about my ocs: -Regarding any of my ocs, you are ABSOLUTELY allowed to make fan art for them! I just ask that you tag me in it so that I can reblog it (You better believe I'm going to treat my page like a fridge, AND IT'S BIG ENOUGH TO DISPLAY ALL OF IT!) -All of my current ocs that have completed wikis are posted up on my Wattpad account, so you can go view all of the information on them there. But please do be warned, when I typed their info up in their original documents, a lot of them stretched to about 42 pages? Something like that? So do be warned that you'll be reading for a long while, lol. -My current oc x cc pairings are for One piece only atm. (I'm currently working out a Mouthwashing oc because that game has me in such a bad chokehold currently, it's not even funny XD) Those pairings are: Thatch and Bernice, Heat and Lee, and Rakuyo and Pandora (Tonta is also there, but he's Pandora's son, so...yeah-) -My ask box can be for any of my ocs, or even drawing suggestions. I'm open to anything! :3

And finally...fandoms I'm in! -Hetalia (...this show has had me in a death grip since 2010, shush-) -Creepypasta -Demon Slayer (We can be friends or enemies depending on your views of Gyomei >:3) -Jojo's Bizarre Adventure -Alice in the Country of Hearts (I FEEL LIKE THE VILLAGE CRAZY LADY BEING THE ONLY ONE THAT STILL LOVES THIS FANDOM, PLEASE, IT'S SO GOOD, BLOW IT UP-) -Villainous (And I have to clarify: Cartoon Network Villainous, Not Disney Villainous-) -Tokyo Debunkers -Hazbin Hotel (I have loved the concept since the pilot episode released, though I don't really talk about it that much. Apparently the fandom has a bad rep? Dunno how, I guess I just haven't dipped my toes into the fandom that far yet-) -Obey Me! That's not my Neighbor -The Arcana: Visual Novel -Fnaf: Security Breach -Naruto -My Hero Academia (Again, another fandom that has a bad rep, but I personally just don't mingle with others. AND BEFORE YOU ASK, no, I don't really like a lot of the popular characters. Shoji is actually my favorite out of the whole fandom (What? I like a lot of the roles that Ian Sinclair voices, ok!) -Fire Force (ANOTHER UNDERRATED FANDOM!!) -Mouthwashing (HAVE YOU SEEN THE CHARACTER DESIGN LORE FOR THIS GAME?! And with you peeps knowing me, I'm a HUIGE sucker when it comes to intricate details for character designing!! (I think my oc wikis and their 50 paged documents speak for themselves on that, lol-)) Please be patient, I'm currently working on a chapter directory for Appraise Love since the chapters are really spread out in comparison to a lot of my projects- (Updated as of 2/27/25)

[cringefaecompilation]

I know it wasn't the focus of your misogyny post so if I'm overstepping please ignore me, but it also really makes me mad when people "conveniently forget" that Ashton is nonbinary, especially when it justifies their shitty opinions (ie he's One Of The Boys™ so he's always correct and can do no wrong thanks to his male-based intellect unlike the awful evil women or he's an Evil Manipulative Man™ who's going out of his way to use his male-ness to harm these poor innocent helpless women because he said/did anything negative towards them). Like please y'all, they're not a man PLEASE they said their pronouns IN THE FIRST EPISODE PLEASE. Feel free to like/dislike Ashton all you want cause that's perfectly fair, but for the love of god don't be transphobic (especially to be sexist) when you do it??? Is that too much to ask??? Idk if I'm making sense/getting upset at nothing because I've seen a lot of people dismiss this as being silly or getting mad at nothing, but idk as a masc enby a lot of discussions around Ashton feel so gross? Idk though, once again ignore if I'm overstepping or anything

you are not being silly and you are not getting mad at nothing or overstepping. it's a huge problem.

i've seen way more of the former where he is misgendered as a cis male as a positive trait, so i'll be talking more about that. will be reposting my tags about this trend in fandom because i've already said my piece on it.

ashton is "schrodinger's man" to these people when they're bored with ignoring/erasing orym's respect and care towards the women in his life. they're nonbinary and trans when they're being directly defended against fans who only like the women, and they're a cis male who is a victim of violent misandry when complaining about previous drama or shipping laudmo/ore (willing to give the benefit of the doubt that maybe some of that blending is them including cis male actor taliesin jaffe but then again). the idea that shardgate was Feminism Going Too Far is an actual statement that i've seen going around the fandom, and it's gotten worse now with swordgate.

didja know there are people insisting laudna should have been abandoned by the hells or fearne should have gotten "harsher punishment" when her dad nearly killed her because both women did something selfish/impulsive and ashton was yelled at and punished for doing something selfish/impulsive? the They Only Were Upset With Ashton Because He Is A Man argument is so fucking dumb. bro almost nuked himself without telling anybody else and was the only one not forcing the shard down fearne's throat, of course they'd come to blows. and you wanna know why they didn't scream at fearne or laudna? BECAUSE THEY LEARNED TO NOT DO THAT. THEY HAD A THERAPY SESSION SPECIFICALLY TO AVOID DOING THAT SHIT AGAIN

and it really does make it obnoxious because i like him and orym's dynamic but it's so fucking frustrating seeing people make them into bell's hells leaders and Voices Of Reason just so they can say "orym is always correct because dead husband and imogen is a salty selfish bitch" or "ashton is always correct because tough love & street smarts and imogen is just a salty selfish bitch" that it immediately sets off red flags for me if someone says those guys are their favorite bh characters. and it sucks because i love orym and ashton too!

obligatory "both sides though" mention: yes. there are im/odna shippers that fantasize about "punishing" or murdering ashton. they do that to dorian and orym too. i am aware of them and i have seen them. i have 90% of them blocked lmao

and i have also talked about this before but the amount of people i've seen insisting callowm/oore is a bad homophobic cishet ship that erases fearne's pansexuality is BIZARRE. this argument was used to prop up fearn/iture which makes no fucking sense to me since chetney is, as far as we know, cisgender. we might not know ashton's sexuality proper but it's safe to assume they aren't heterosexual as they've flirted with people of many genders. also there was this genuine debate if as/hrym was a homophobic ship because orym only dates men... and. well. i don't think it'd be the same as shipping keyleth with orym, let's put it that way lol

[emeritus-fuckers]

Hi, feel free to ignore. I don’t know why this is making me panic so much but I’m a writer and I write Sodo being called Sodo instead of Dewdrop, some ghost fans seem to be getting a little mad that he’s not being called Dewdrop and I was wondering why you decided to call him Sodo?

Im unfortunately a chronic people pleaser and this is kind of tearing me apart part, I’m so very confused.

(I admire you very much by the way rat for sticking to your own beliefs and Hc’s and not going against your beliefs to please one person you don’t even know through a screen)

hi!

i believe the reason people get pissy about sodo being called sodo and not dewdrop (bleh) is because the man behind the mask is called the sodomizer and even has a tattoo of the word on his stomach, which leads people to apparently lose their minds because "it's disrespectful" to him by "blurring the line between him and the character" which is just nonsense, honestly.

sodo started out as a bassist, which would make him a water ghoul, so he was named dewdrop because compared to the rest of the band at the time, he was relatively small.

however, he is now the main guitarist. a fire ghoul. i do not see how a fire ghoul would be called dewdrop.

it's even more silly when you realize that papa called sodo that (well, sodomizer, which sodo is a short form of) multiple times. hell, at my own ritual, we were yelling out sodo.

the people behind the ghouls masks are very much aware of what we call them. at least some of them (sodo, aether and phantom definitely) are and they have no problem with being called that. sodo reacts to being called sodo.

fun fact, there was also a discourse about how apparently he's uncomfortable with dewdrop, but from what i've read, it wasn't from him, it was just misinformation which spreads in the fandom at a ridiculously fast pace.

for me personally, there are a few reasons i chose sodo over dewdrop.

one, it's a fucking fire ghoul. i'm not calling a fire ghoul dewdrop.

two, i view switching elements as something similar to being trans. partially because i'm trans myself. calling him dewdrop feels to me like deadnaming him.

three, it's a bit similar to mary goore's pronouns for me. while mary can be a he/they or a they/them, calling mary goore a "he" makes me uncomfortable. calling sodo dewdrop also makes me uncomfortable.

and lastly, i just don't like the name, in all honesty.

in the end, i believe that what he's called will depend on your own opinions and maybe when you joined the fandom, but calling sodo anything other than sodo feels wrong to me, so i'm sticking with that. i do accept asks where he's called dewdrop, but i always call him sodo either way.

if people are getting mad at you for this and making you panic, inform them that this is your choice as a writer and they are free to leave whenever they fucking please. it's your art. as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, you should be free to do anything you please with it. and calling a character a different name isn't gonna hurt anyone, trust me.

the people getting pissed at you probably have nothing better to do with their time. if i can skip a post with sodo being called dewdrop and ignore a post with mary being called a "he", they can ignore your posts/fics if they don't like a name or a headcanon. and if they don't and they seek out drama over something so petty, their opinions aren't worth caring about.

i used to be a chronic people pleaser, too, back when i wrote fanfiction on wattpad. and let me tell you, it made me feel terrible. i was pushing out chapters and publishing pieces i didn't like because people liked them. i was genuinely convinced my work was bad because it made me feel bad to write it.

eventually i decided to let go, completely switched out a fanfic in a way that people hated but also made me much happier. it's your writing and your decisions. other people don't get to dictate that. i'm sticking with my own headcanons because it's my blog. i made this blog. i am the main writer. if you disagree with a headcanon, you can move past my blog and go read someone else's fanfiction.

the best piece of advice that i can offer you, anon, is to remember that you're one of the people you're supposed to please. and the only one that truly matters in the end. if you ever wanna talk about those things, send me an ask on my main and i'll dm you (non-mutuals can't dm me for personal reasons) so we can talk more.

people suck. have fun writing.

Thanks for your reply to this ask of mine : https://www.tumblr.com/frostfires-blog/768942492027682816/hello-tgcf-lover-i-found-you-from-your-post-of-4?source=share

I have sent the MXTX Ask Game, sorry if the questions is a bit much. 😅

No, I don't think you're hypocritical. I totally get it and can relate to you. It's hard to suddenly love m/m ships from something that we love since young age, when what we love mostly are m/f ships from that series, right?

See, I watched anime since childhood and my first anime were One Piece and Detective Conan. Guess the most famous m/m ship from One Piece? ZoSan (Zoro/Sanji) and fyi that ship have inspired real life BL mangaka with that ship's dynamics (including one of my fav BL mangaka). From Conan, it's Kid/Shinichi (for me now, this series have too many het romance, I mean everybody end up with somebody?)

One of my moots asked, how come I don't ship them. And my answer is, sorry those series are my childhood's beloved series. At that time, I still love m/f ships only and don't read any BL/GL media or even ship any same sex characters. So, I just can't see them romantically.

Then as I grew up, I began to love more the dynamics of same sex characters (especially between male ones) compared to het ones.

For your top 3 favorite anime/manga : Naruto, Gintama, & Attack on Titan, I started them because of my friends who love their otps. So, I knew a few people who wrote fanfics and drew fanarts for those ships. They asked me to start those series and asked who are my fav ships. I did and I do have favorite otps from those series.

From Naruto : NaruSasu (one of my fav non-canon ship until now, my friend's no 1 otp), MinaKushi (yes, somehow I love this ship even when they're m/f bcs they're so good together), and HashiMada (old man yaoi, enough said).

From Gintama : GinHiji (love their dynamic, you can't imagine how many doujins they had, also my other friend's no 1 otp), I love Kagura so much, but I don't really ship her with anyone (sorry)

From AoT : Please don't hate me, especially now that I know you love Levi. My fav ship is Levi/Eren (love their dynamic, potential for fics and one of my friend's otp).

See, in BL a few of my fav tropes are age gap and height difference, and we have them both!

Sorry for this long ask. Feel free to ignore them. I hope you don't mind with me (BL lover & multishipper of m/m ships) as one of your fan/ follower. I really do learn a lot from your blog and I love when you wrote something that you're passionate with.

I know I've said I love non-canon m/m ships, but I do love BL media, too, with their canon ships. So, thanks for listed 4 canon m/m ones in your fav ships (HuaLian, WangXian, SasaMiya, MafuYama), it means a lot to me....

P.s. Akatsuki no Yona is also one of my all time fav series ever! So excited that you love them, too.... Oh from this series, I ship Jae Ha/Kija (sorry for this random ship)

Anime/manga recs!

- Haikyuu (amazing story, great characters, mostly male characters, some of the most awesome male duos ever)

- SK8 The Infinity (short and amazing story, great characters, mostly male characters, you must have at least 1 fav ship after finished this 12 episodes)

- Buddy Daddies (2 hitmen/ 2 room mates/ 2 guys have to take care of little girl, one of my all time fav series ever)

- Bungou Stray Dogs (guys with super power + mafia, mostly male characters, amazing story)

- Death Note (best tragedy ever, great story, can't help but love this doom ship)

- Moriarty the Patriot (one or the best Holmes adaptation ever, amazing cast, love the plot, mostly male characters)

- Idolish7 (great songs, amazing story, for me Idolish7 >>> Oshi no Ko, primarily male characters)

Sorry if you have knew these series and don't like them. Also, sorry again because mostly I love series with primarily male characters (that's where m/m shippers got their fuel)...

No problem! Hi once again! Thanks for your continued support. I posted my answers to the MXTX Ask Game yesterday. Sorry, it took so long; I've been dealing with a lot. I also wanted to apologise for it being so long—I rambled too much again. I hope that my answers met your expectations. Since every MXTX work is exceptional in its own way, it's difficult to compare them. I totally get where there's no unanimous standout in the fandom and everyone has their own favourite.

Yeah, I totally agree. As sad as it is, I'll never be able to ship M/M ships from the shows I watched in my childhood before I became conscious of BL/GL shipping. Thankfully, not many anime fit under that umbrella because most of my formative years were spent obsessing over Naruto and not giving any other anime a chance—embarrassing, I know. For me, Naruto, Bleach, Angel Beats, Charlotte, Ouran High School Host Club, Made In Abyss, and Attack on Titan fall into that bracket. It was actually BNHA that made me start shipping BL pairings. While I don't ship BL/GL ships in those aforementioned series, I can see value in some of the well-founded ones and know if I had started them today, then I would most likely have shipped those pairings wholeheartedly. P.S. I love MinaKushi too. They deserve more screentime! I started Gintama in late 2019/early 2020 as was in my BL phase at the time. So I do like GinHiji, I just slightly prefer the dynamics of GinTsu and GinTaka. I read a lot of GinHiji doujins too lol (they make up pretty much 90% of Gintama doujins available, lmao)... I totally get why people wouldn't ship Kagura with anyone; as for most of the series, she's still young and uninterested in romance. I'm just a fan of the enemies to lovers/rivals to lovers/friends to lovers trope. So I ship her with Sougo since I like their synergy. Though I don't condone people using OkiKagu to sexualise her character pre-time skip.

The great thing about Gintama is that it's quite self-aware; so, they throw bones to practically every group of shippers while they simultaneously avoid verifying anything. So the fandom is much more inclusive than any other shounen fandom. Levi and Eren are my favourite AoT characters, and I used to have a friend who was very into Levi/Eren so I get it. I almost had a phase myself since at first I wasn't a fan of EreMika. However, around late season 3, my best friend had gotten me sold on EreMika and they've really grown on me. I'd like to think that I've matured enough to be amicable about ships. So I wouldn't hate someone who had a different opinion from me so long as they didn't harass me about it. There have been times when my best friend and I have disagreed about ships, but it hasn't come in between our friendship.

Thanks once again for all of the asks you've sent. I'm glad you've been enjoying my posts, and I hope you continue to enjoy them. Admittedly, the content of my blog will gradually shift since Naruto, Gintama, and Attack on Titan are over—so there isn't much content to post about... I'm not artistically talented—so I can't contribute with fanart and animatics—therefore I rely on reposting, editing, and analysing canon content. I'll continue to do my best, though—especially in new fandoms that have currently captivated me. Wow, another Akatsuki no Yona fan! They need to give us season 2—I swear the manga is so good! I don't think Kija x Jaeha is that random. I could see it... I just honestly never put much thought into shipping other than Hak x Yona since I had a long-standing premonition the dragons would die somehow.

As for your recs, I've actually seen many of them lol... So I'll do a quick run-through of my thoughts and ships in each:

➜ Haikyuu is actually my 3rd favourite sports anime. I used to post about it and read a lot of fics back when season 4 was airing. I went to see the movie in cinemas last year too. While I like most of the fan-favourite pairs—KageHina, BokuAka, and KenHina were featured in a Valentine's Day Ship Post I made 3 years ago.

➜ I'm fond of SK8 The Infinity as well and am excited for the upcoming OVA. I ship both RenGa and MatchBlossom! (P.S. Matchblossom is such a good shipname.) The SK8 dub is one of the only anime dubs I like—it's so unhinged.

➜ I watched Buddy Daddies back when it aired. At first, I thought it was a simpler ripoff of SpyxFamily, but it really grew into its own thing towards the end—and I grew to like it more and more. I quite like how concise yet open-ended its ending was. Not everything needs to drag on, you know...

➜ I've seen BSD too... Though I have quite complex, contradicting feelings about it. While the powers and setting are cool, it's one of the only series that has ever consistently confused me. Like, what is the actual plot of the series? What are the characters trying to achieve? Its lack of consistency both intrigues and frustrates me. I feel like my lack of knowledge of classical literature doesn't help either. Since I'm not fond of the art stystyle, Idly don't fangirl over anyone from BSD. Ironically, my favourite ship/duo from the series would probably be Shin Soukoku.

➜ I've only seen half of Death Note. Sadly, my first introduction to the series was that awful live-action movie... So I didn't bother watching the anime for several years...When I finally did start the anime, it was decently good—but I stopped midway since an AoT fic I'd read years before came rushing back to me and had spoilt most of the upcoming plot points for me. So all the tension and stakes were ruined for me.

➜ Moriarty The Patriot is one of my favourite anime series. I really liked that it delved into deep topics like classism, morality, and social justice. Sherliam is one of my favourite BL ships. Hopefully, they'll continue the anime series someday. I don't think I've ever done any posts on the series... But I will if I ever think of something appropriate.

➜ A year or 2 ago, after finishing the Given manga, I was motivated to start a couple of music-centric anime... I typically try out a few episodes of 3-4 shows and then choose between them. I know I ended up going with Kono Oto Tomare and Uta No Prince-sama. So I think the one I ended up not going with might have been Idolish...Or no scratch that I think it might have been Ensemble Stars... I'd have to go watch episode 1 again and see. So I'll have to get back to you on this.

Thanks for all the recommendations though. Sorry, I've seen most of them already. If you were looking for recommendations yourself, then I'd recommend the following (based on what you've said and recommended):

⦁ Link Click/Shiguang Dailiren really toes the line between canon and non-canon well with its main duo—in part due to China's censorship laws. I don't want to spoil anything since it's very suspenseful, but the show falls into the mystery, drama, and time-travel genres. It's available in three languages, and the latest season has introduced even more intriguing characters. (P.S. The music in this show is absolutely amazing.)

⦁ Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions is something I'd recommend to all Moriarty The Patriot fans since its MC is a descendant of both the Holmes and Moriarty bloodlines. It's more episodic and lighter in tone than MTP but no less intriguing.

⦁ Tsurune is sports anime centred around Kyudo—a traditional Japanese form of archery. Just like with Haikyuu and Sk8, it focuses on a lot of M/M duos and rivalries. Its animation is stunning, and the themes it touches on are insightful.

⦁ Owari No Seraph/Seraph of the End is a shounen anime that heavily centres around the ambiguous bond between its two leads—Yuu and Mika. There is an array of other complex relationship dynamics between its other characters as well. Its post-apocalyptic setting, music, and action sequences are somewhat reminiscent of Attack on Titan's earlier seasons, given that both series were animated by Wit Studio.

⦁ Windbreaker is a shounen anime centred around a group of delinquents at an all-boys school that have banded together to protect their town and its people from nearby thugs. Its characters and their interactions with one another are really endearing. While the fights aren't as flashy as other battle shounen, the series covers various significant themes and has significant character depth. The character design and character interactions are my favourite part of the series.

Anyways, thanks once again for reading through all my ramblings...

I know it said five fics, but since everything I write concerning trans characters and being trans is kind of very personal and important to me, I'll have to add another of those fics (and feel free to check out the trans fics that I have not listed here)

Questions Of Identity Fandom: The Magnus Archives Pairing: JonMartin (Teaholding) Rating: T Words: 4,496 Why is this a fave: the trans (again, yes). again, projecting and me being angry at ignorant people. supportive partner and friends (do we spot a theme yet?) Other Stuff Worth Mentioning: trans Martin Blackwood, gender dysphoria, comfort, pre-T Martin

I'll have to add another note (sorry): I haven't done so for my earlier work, but my more recent fics all have content warnings about what kind of dysphoria is discussed. If dysphoria in fics is triggering to you, feel free to check the content warnings and take care of yourself <3

Last thing (I promise): feel free to ask me anything about these fics or any other stuff I write and post. I also love recommendations, if you feel like I might enjoy something you've seen or read :D

**Guidelines**

• Submissions be writing, graphic art, even a FMV (fan made video) but it must tell a story, please use the #WOLpromptaday hashtag to connect your work. Links can be placed on Twitter, AO3, Tumblr or our Discord server.

We love to see how you have used our prompts and how they helped your story. Linking helps us to know which topics to use in the future.

Please reference the prompt in either your title or in the work description so that we know which one you are referring to.

• We fully encourage you to keep an ongoing thread about your WOLs story. Be it on Tumbler, AO3, LiveJournal, or any other place you’re comfortable sharing your stories.

• NSFW must be marked as such. Themes with a sexual or otherwise “spicy” nature need to be labeled. As do works that entire excessive graphic violence. We’ve seen your WOLqotd, we know how much you like to traumatize your squishy OCs, otherwise you wouldn’t be here. While we understand the basis of Final Fantasy XIV and how it includes “some” graphic content. We also acknowledge that sometimes there can be “too much”. We recognize that there was a villain personality that preferred violence for the sake of violence. We ask that if you have a subject in your work that might cause others to revisit past trauma that you please label your work for the appropriate themes.

- Sexual Themes, and/or Torture are just a few examples.

• Readers please keep in mind that this is the artists head cannon, as Yoshi-p has said may times “there are endless possibilities and endless stories, everyone has their own version of their story”. Please don’t forget that sometimes writers ignore or rewrite cannon; this is encouraged by the devs!

• Be kind with your comments. If you don’t like the head cannon we invite you to write down your own version. If someone “got the lore wrong’ please keep in mind they may have changed it or had to ‘wing it” when they couldn’t find a proper source. Give it a chance, we know the FFXIV devs change lore often.

• You cannot submit past works. Entires have to be new products. Reworks are allowed but submissions need to be mostly new content. The purpose of the prompts is to expand on your WOL/Ds Lore.

• Participants may send in prompt ideas to the admins via a direct message via Tumblr, Twitter, AO3, or Discord.

• Dialogue prompts should have the prompt worked into the piece somehow. Whether by actual lines said or by inner thoughts. This helps readers understand why that prompt is important to the scene.

Recommendations

Whatever the hell else! I'm not picky! You're not limited to this list!

When sending asks, please keep the following in mind:

It may take a little while for me to reply, especially if I'm tired or busy.

I am allowed to ignore, delete, or report any ask for any reason. I do not need to explain it to you.

I don't mind personal questions, but if they are too private I will simply ignore them.

If the answer to a question regarding one of my WIPs is spoilery, I will either not post the spoilers or mark it as such, depending on the severity. Such questions are still allowed.

If you have 18+ or more adult oriented questions about my WIPs then go ham, idc. I'll answer them ::) Just note that they will be tagged as such.

There is no limit to how many asks you can send me. Please, I'm actually begging for people to be interested and talk to me ::*(

I have some banned fandoms that include but are not limited to: Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, Harry Potter, and The Chosen. I also do not tolerate any exclusive fans.

Please don't send donation requests. I have my own financial crisis going on, and it's not like I'm famous or anything. 😔

Hello everyone.

A little introduction before we begin~

My name is Eon, a true Scorpio(I love astrology 🙃) I am 26, passionate fan of AIs and Robots and altogether a really mellow person. I dont like drama and if I should come across a callout post or something similar, I will simply ignore it. Most of the time it's simply not worth the effort to read.

I am not here for this kind of stuff and don't need to be told which whom to interact with or not. You do you and if I am not okay with what you are doing or acting, I will simply ignore you. End of story.

Also... English is not my first language, I am originally from Austria so please excuse any grammatical errors from my side :p

I write occasionally and draw as well. I am a digital artist and use Medibang Paint Pro because it's easy and brings excellent results :) I just started to learn how to program as well so I look forward to meet other people who already have more experience in it than me. What else... Oh yeah, i am also in a couple Fandoms right now which include:

One-piece

Marathon(The Bungie Game)I Love Durandal with all my ♥️. He's my special blorbo 😶

The Murderbot Diaries

Pokémon

Ihnmaims

Hannibal

Colossus: The Forbin project

Etc.

Favorite Characters: Arlong(Onepiece), Durandal(Marathon), Freeza(DBZ), AM, Hal 9000, Tau, Colossus and Guardian.

This is not my first time on Tumblr, I was here a couple years ago already but kind of lost interest. Now since I am currently on vacation I decided to make a new account to start fresh so to speak.

I look forward meeting new people on here so feel free to jump in my chat or inbox. :)
