Sun: I'm testing how obedient you are

Me: Sure. Which item of clothing should I remove first

Sun:

Sun:

Me: unzips

LAKSLKAKLSKALALAKLAKS HELPP THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT HAHA. i like to imagine sun does not know the consequences of his actions in testing obedience. so as soon as that first clothing item goes off its a battle to keep himself completely neutral ;)

I saw the message about the Ribbon Seal Y/N and just wanted to propose this; since Ribbon Seals are carnivorous but relatively small (only like 5 to 6 feet long) imagine being a fiesty seal reader growling and baring your teeth in an attempt to intimidate Orca!Eclipse but it just. totally backfires. Those teeth are so small and cute, just like the furry seal body; Eclipse is getting cuteness aggression. The more posturing you do the more he's smitten with this tiny-but-mighty sweetheart to be. I made a skull/size between the species for comparison!

Oh my gosh!!!!

Just to clarify, Eclipse is not 1 to 1 in size to a real orca. He's large, yes, but relative to the reader! But Y/N still being only 5-6 feet in length as a siren with a ribbon seal tail compared to siren Eclipse is *chef's kiss* perfection!

Oh, he would swoon and fawn over how adorable you are! How can he not snatch you up and give you a great big squeeze? Your little teeth are very pointy and very pretty! You're just the cutest thing he's ever seen, not paying too much mind to your angry defiance and how much (though how sweetly) you growl hehe

[trashcatmonster]

Also if you want to maybe do a request, maybe sans pov for the first date fic from ao3? Or the next date after their initial one! You decide :)

well! since you asked so nicely!

title: a big appetite

summary: “Hey! Sorry to bother you, but I’ve got this friend…”

ao3 link: here!

fic text under cut!

Sans wasn’t really sure what to expect when that human had approached him, shit eating grin taking up their entire face and making him shuffle nervously. He had thought that maybe they’d stopped him to make fun of him or something, pull his leg because he’d been standing around in a mall he’d never been too looking lost.

That was definitely not the case, and San can’t help the giddy flipping in his soul as he watches the tiny human approaching him. You’re friend must have told you what to look out for, because you’re staring at him with wide eyes not at all hesitant about approaching him.

Your face is red, though, and your eyes haven’t reduced from the saucers they turned into once you caught sight of him. Stars, you’re cuter than he expected.

“Hi!” you force out, shoving your stiff arm in his direction as your name leaves your mouth in an equally as tense squeak. His eye drops to your hand as you clear your throat, and when he took your hand to shake, your palm was entirely engulfed in his own fingers.

Soft…

“sans. …haven't ordered yet, wasn't sure if you'd like finger food,” he says, wiggling his fingers once you've freed your hand from his.

You actually laugh, and Sans can’t help but beam because you’re cute and you have a sense of humor? He’s gonna have to thank your friend for setting this up.

Now that you’re sitting across from him, Sans lets himself stare. You’re so small, he could probably carry you in one arm. And your hair looks soft, your face an adorable shade of red that only adds to your appeal.

You’re quiet, and you’re not meeting his eye, but he doesn’t think it’s for any monsterphobic reasons because nothing about your body language reads as afraid to him.

“Sorry for the wait!” the waiter says, making you jolt, “Have you guys figured out what you want or do you just wanna start with drinks?”

Sans hasn’t taken his eye light off you, so when you start fanning your face he is absolutely delighted because holy shit, he’s only ever seen monsters older than the war do that, and here you are. Fuck, you’re cute.

“Um… just a water for me, thank you,” you tell the waiter, hand falling to your lap with a sheepish look. He’s disappointed he can’t watch you fan your face, but that expression is almost worth the trade out.

“Perfect, one water and…” the waiter trails off, and Sans gets the sense of eyes on him. It takes him a second before he forces himself to look away from you to give the waiter his attention.

“water for me, too.”

The waiter nods, slipping their pad and pen into their apron and walking off. Sans is happy to look at you again.

Somehow, your face almost looks a deeper red than before. You seem to impulsively lift your hand to fan your face again. You force it to the table, and the embarrassed look you give him makes his grin grow just that little bit more.

You sit there, actually looking him in the eye for much longer than you had managed at that start of this date. It sends a thrill down his spine.

And then your standing suddenly, and Sans jerks back in his seat feeling his smile drop a little in surprise. Is something wrong?

“Um! Sorry!” is all you say, face still beet red, and then you’re leaving why are you leaving?

Not wanting to lose out on the treat he can tell you’re going to be, Sans follows you out. He sees you rounding the restaurant, and his magic flares as he steps forward.

The shortcut takes him by surprise, and he stumbles forward, unintentionally trapping you against the wall.

Well… Wasn’t on purpose, but you can’t keep running from him at least. You’re staring at him bug eyed, and with the hope that you didn’t notice his trip, Sans smirks down at you. Fuck, you’re small.

“where do you think you’re goin’?” he asks, and now that you’re both standing Sans can’t help but sweep his gaze over you.

You’re frozen in front of him, and the cute outfit you’re wearing suits you so well… Your mouth is hanging open, and Sans gets the feeling you’re taken off guard by his unsubtle attempt at getting a full look at you.

The thought makes him laugh, and impulse has him leaning forward, wondering if you’d let him close your mouth for you. Thoughts on if your lips are just as soft as they look bouncing around his damaged skull.

You jolt at his movement, eyes darting to his teeth before settling back on his eye light and he reminds himself that he’s only just met you and a kiss on the first date probably isn’t very polite.

“stars, you’re so jumpy,” he teases, pulling back and hoping you’re not upset about just how close he’d been to kissing you right then.

The look in your eye makes his grin widen, and he can’t resist teasing you just a bit more. Get that pretty red decorating your face again.

“i could just eat you up,” he purrs, grin wide and soul thrumming in his chest. The blush he was hoping for spreads down your neck, but you shove your face in your hands and start sliding down to the sidewalk at his feet making noises he’s pretty sure aren’t meant to be words.

He stares at you on the ground, surprised but insanely pleased with your reaction, and then he snorts. Backing a way, Sans squats so he can get a clear look of your face when you meet his eye light again, smile softer to give you a bit of a break.

“you alright?” he asks, huffing a laugh when you’re first response is to hide in your hands again and let out a whine and more unintelligible sounds. That’s fine, he’s patient enough to let you figure yourself out.

Sans raises an eye ridge when, after a minute, you start taking deep, measured breaths without looking up at him. It’s not something he would’ve expected to be cute, but the exaggerated way your body moves fills him with the desire to pick you up and… he’s not really sure. But his hands itch and it’s all he can do not to follow through.

“I’m… okay.” you start, words slow and hands slowly lowering to your lap. “You’re just! A very attractive skeleton! And I’m struggling very hard to cope with that!”

He’s… stars you’re fucking adorable, how is he supposed to keep his hands off you?

You’re calming yourself down, and Sans grins wide as he watches you.

“…heh.”

Without really thinking through the action, Sans reaches out and pushes your head up with his fingers under your chin. Your skin is soft, and if he wanted to he could cover your whole face with his palm.

Your breathing hitches at the contact, and Sans can’t help but agree, with the little sparks it’s sending down his phalanges.

“don’t think i’ve ever seen someone this bent outta shape over me in a positive way, it’s pretty cute,” he says, snickering at the flush that makes an encore appearance across your cheeks.

His thumb finds its way to your lips, and Sans finds himself thinking about kissing you again. It’s so tempting, especially with the way you’re staring at him, eyes anticipating. He winks, letting his thumb drag your lower lip away from your teeth so he can see the way it pops back into place just slightly reddened by the pressure he’d put there.

No kissing, it’s impolite. Paps would lecture him forever and Sans needs to be able to have a second date with you.

“wanna come back inside? bet if you keep that breathin’ trick up we could even have a conversation.”

You make a sound, your nose scrunching up at his words and he doesn’t even think you realize you’re doing it but he is obsessed with the action. What can he do to see it again? Stars, how is one person this fucking cute?

Sans stands when you nod, that giddy feeling that’s been present since he first saw your red face swelling pleasantly in his soul.

“Um—“ you start, looking up at him when you realize he’s standing now and your expression looks… embarrassed?

“’sup?” he prompts when you don’t continue, offering a hand to you in case you need help standing. You accept the help, and his hand buzzes where your skin makes contact with him.

“What… What is your name?”

He stops, staring at you and struggling not to laugh as he connects the question with the flustered state you’d been in the entire time.

Holy shit, you’re already the best. Sans really needs to get your friend flowers for setting this up, no way he would’ve met anyone near as cute as you are.

“didn’t catch it the first time?” he asks, when he feels like he can trust himself not to laugh at you when he opens his mouth.

You get a look, the same one you’d made when he’d called you jumpy, and what comes out of your mouth catches him so off guard. But it’s so perfect.

“You vastly overestimate my ability to think when someone as big as you is directly in front of me!”

The last of your sentence is rushed out in a flustered squeak, and Sans is reminded of just how small you are. The top of your head barely reaching past the top of his stomach.

“you like ‘em big, huh?”

You look like you want the Earth to swallow you up, and Sans just continues to grin at you.

“I mean— That’s not! I didn’t…” you splutter, arms crossing over your chest defensively.

“Sans,” he interrupts you, shoving his hands in his pockets in an effort to keep himself from following that desire to kiss you. You don’t respond, but he hears your footsteps falling in line behind him as he heads back towards the restaurant doors.

The image of your red face is all the encouragement he needs to poke you one more time, turning towards you and speaking just before he shoves the door open with his shoulder.

“and don’t worry, i like ‘em tiny.”

Worth it.

Jason Grace being super built but also down horrendous is SUCH a good visual. Dude is out here looking like this

but yet also covered your in lipstick kisses

VERBALLY AND AUDIBLY CHORTLING AT THE ACCURACY. GIGGLING. CACKLING LIKE A DISNEY HYENA. this is exactly what Jason looks like down to the harness and I will take no criticism. he's so built and tall and fucking buff and you don't really notice until he meets your mortal friends and they're like "this is the guy you had literally begging you to sit on his face three days ago?????? this guy????? he was the one crying at how good you fucked him and saying thank you when he came????? and thank you when you came?????? this guy???????" yes yes he is. it's not until you kiss him and they watch his gaze literally melt as he follows you around like a loyal lovestruck puppy for the rest of the day that it starts to make sense.

Bill doesn't know who's on the other end, but it doesn't matter; he's going to get what he wants even if it takes another billion years.

[krantex]

I have never drawn a merman in my life, but here’s Bruce from @floriianthefool ‘s wonderful “like the soft beating of a heart in a still chest (fit into me like a missing rib)” on AO3!! I was inspired by @poppywine ‘s ask and gorgeous designs, it really got my creative juices flowing!

Don’t mind the wack anatomy (human and fish), I did this in like 3 hours lol. I love the way Floriian describes Bruce, I don’t think I quite did the picture of him in my head justice, but hopefully I conveyed how pretty he is!

Anyways, go check out the fic, it’s incredible and I’m always excited when I see there’s a new chapter up!! Can’t wait for Reader to get a little fish kiss from his fishy fish lips (if you get that reference I love you).

@poppywine submitted: Little man… found in New York City, New York!

A child!! Tis a carpet beetle larva :)

[laylanatorseventeen]

OK, so exactly noone asked for this but I have been reading a LOT of bioshock fanfiction lately and I think there are some real gems on ao3 that I’d like to bring attention to. So here they are, mixed with some more obviously popular ones---

Bioshock fic recs GO!!!!

ONE SHOTS--

--Found Is Lost and Lost Is Found by thewickedkat-- “What if there had been a Little Sister who hadn’t wanted to be rescued?” REALLY GOOD, but heed the trigger warnings in the tags!!!

--results, not causes by cheloniidae “Diane doesn’t need a pretty face to fight in the war.”

--they shake the mountains when they dance by coricomile-- “Around her, the splicers scream.”

--Just Put (Me) To Work by rataplani-- “A tribute to the nameless protagonists of the Protector Trials.”

--Chasing Shadows by cloudeme--  “ She is the first Big Sister, and will probably be the last. She knows she's different, but she doesn't care. She does her job... and hates.”

MULTICHAPTER--

-hey mister, don’t I know you? by presidenthomewrecker -- COMPLETE-- the one where Anna Culpepper runs Fort Frolic when you come through!!! a really great story that I really enjoyed. this author in general is worth checking out, they’ve written more than one awesome fic!!

-The Closing of Watchful Eyes by FOzziliZ3d-- COMPLETE--  “In which Mark Meltzer is saved by Subject Delta in Dionysus Park.”

-lay her i’ th’ earth by poppywine-- COMPLETE-- “ And I can teach thee, coz, to shame the devil—By telling the truth. Tell truth and shame the devil.”  Jasmine Jolene haunts Ryan’s bitch ass and it’s wonderful. 

-Watch Over Me by cakeisatruth-- COMPLETE-- “ Little Sisters can be cured in a matter of seconds, but it takes far longer for one to overcome everything she's been brainwashed to believe.” A really good fic from the perspective of a recovering Little Sister!! I especially love this fic. 

-Bei Mir Bist Du Sheon by poppywine-- WIP--  “ Brigid Tenenbaum has put the worst of Rapture behind her. That's the good news. The bad news is that a part of it is now standing on her porch.” As stated, this fic is still in progress, but the writing is wonderful, and I’m really excited to see where it goes!!

-With Friends Like These.... by gummysharksupremacy --WIP--- this one is actually about remorseful!Bad End Jack which I found intriguing from the start!! Basically he wakes up after the events of the game and is trying to make his way out of Rapture. Has some Infinite/BAS elements but I havent played either of those and it didn’t hinder my enjoyment of the fic. Honestly can be enjoyed as a standalone and is a really awesome fic!!

-Atonement for Bygone Sins by foorocks10-- WIP-- “Delta wakes in the ashes of failure. In the ashes of Rapture.Babylon has fallen. And yet Sophia Lamb seeks to build something greater and more terrible from Rapture's ashes.” I actually just discovered this one the other day!! 

-Here Comes the Sun by Riddle_of_the_sphinx --WIP-- “There are others I must help before this city drowns..... or, basically Delta decides that he’s going to save as many people as he can so they can see the sun.” This fic actually had me laughing out loud, Delta has such a sassy inner commentary. I’m excited to see where this one goes, as well!!

-There Is No Rapture by necroticboop-- WIP-- this fic is basically a fleshing out of Brigid Tenenbaum’s whole backstory and it is SOOOO GOOD omg. If you like Brigid please read this story and give the author some feedback because it is SO. GOOD.

-Underwater Eden by jadrea-- WIP-- “It is much to his surprise that Augustus Sinclair finds he's alive.” This one’s got MAPS and stuff like those really good fantasy books from middle school. Promising, I must say, LOL. 

-The Prodigal Son by malice-and-macarons-- WIP--”Atlas wakes up.Death, he thinks, would have been kinder.” I think this one is actually pretty popular amongst the Bioshock fanbase (small as it may be) but just in case you havent seen it, here it is!! 

Final note: I know we all love the instant gratification of already completed fic, and don’t like waiting for updates (I know, me too!) but I encourage anyone looking for something to read to give the WIP’s a try, and leave nice comments for the authors if you enjoyed the story! It’s hard to write when you feel like noone cares. If you want content, you have to validate the content creators!! 

All the fics on this list are awesome, and thanks to all the creators for producing and sharing these stories!!

[msmargarita]

made @poppywine's playlist on spotify 📻

I might be making one for the next fic lol

(thank you poppy for the inspiration)

[lunarmoves]

it’s more of a pussy-out look

LMFAOOOOOO god the flippers are taking me out sfsjdfsf. and the tshirt design?? PLEASEEE the neon pink im dead LOL. yeah he wants u so bad. look at that face, he is so desperate for attention. something something "fine i'll do it myself."

[naffeclipse]

Honestly I had a hunch the sizes weren't a 1:1 comparison but also its VERY funny to imagine Seal Reader in Orca Eclipses' grasp like that one gif of Jake Gyllenhaal holding a ferret

You are his meow meow. His squeaky stress toy

I freaking love this mental image ALSDFJASLF

Sorry, you're in his grasp now, you just gotta endure until he's ready to let you go (chances aren't so good.)

[trashcatmonster]

POV you’re the Pie in Sans’ fridge

SKLDJFG FOR REAL!!

You had baked a pie for him. Said he was sweet as pie when you presented it to him.

Sans hadn't taken a slice out of it on the date, he told you he wanted to save it for when bugs weren't at risk of having a bite at the time, but he mostly just...

When Sans takes that first bite out of the slice on his plate, he's overwhelmed with the excitement and care you'd had when you were baking. And his reasons for trying it at home to save at least a little face suddenly feel so much more justified.

He'd seen the way you looked at him when magic had flushed his skull. If Sans had let himself indulge in your intent right in front of you, you'd know how tightly you have him wrapped around your little finger already.

Sans sighs, taking another bite and slouching against the table. Even now, relishing in your shy affection, he can feel his cheeks warm with the magic pooled in them. Stars, how did he get this lucky? He's gonna have to introduce you to Papyrus soon...

Not yet, though. He's gonna keep you to himself just a little longer.

Though honestly I thought his name was literally the same as his initials. As in, his full name is Jay Ahr Scheimpough. It would be so funny to see the reveal 😭

THATS WHAT I WANT!! I WANT HIS FIRST NAME TO JUST BE FUCKING JAY — I need it I want it
