#pyromaniac in love with the explosives guy

[guacanator]

im. drawing something mewhahahahah

[el-jarado]

I feel like they'd probably be too big a distraction from the Piltover vs Zaun (with a side of Noxus thrown in) thing, but I do think it'd be fun if Arcane got to include more Yordles in Season 2.

Ziggs! A cheerful, fuzzy little pyromaniac that bonds with Jinx over a shared love of explosions even though Ziggs is significantly less down with killing people. Someone for Jinx to talk to, and despite everything Ziggs genuinely likes Jinx and wants her to be OK, which is part of why Jinx is certain he's a figment of her imagination. Also Heimerdinger's his mentor and they had a falling out, so who knows, someone for Jace to bond with?

Mainly, though, I would just enjoy Teemo teaming up with Vi and Caitlyn, in particular because canonically there's lots of children's book and games with his likeness in Piltover and Zaun. Him showing up one day, eager to lend Piltover's Finest a helping fuzzy hand, is basically discovering, in order:

Pikachu is real

Pikachu wants to help you with your family drama/civil war

Pikachu did some shit in Poke-Vietnam and has a higher body count than any of the people fighting this war, including the guys from the country whose national sport is war crimes.

Would it detract from the wonderful, dark story they're telling? Yes. Do I still want to see Vi processing that the fuzzy little mascot from the games she played as a kid maintains his blithe, sunny optimism Jinx can be saved because he's killed way more people than she has while Caitlyn tries to ignore the mounting evidence the main character of her early reader books is the missing link in the poison mushroom smuggling case she's been building for years? Also yes. Lemme see our girls try to wrap their heads around Ranger Rick Who Is Also Rambo.

[stoutguts]

My own personal Hybrid AU??? (Also, Omegaverse). Chock full of my own personal headcanons and ideas. Unorganized/kind of rambling, really just trying to put all my thoughts to paper.

PART 2

(wish I could include everything I wrote in one post, but I yapped too much—)

Price is the only human in the 1-4-1, and an alpha. Not only their captain and team leader, but their handler. And, oh boy, are they a handful.

Johnny can be about as stubborn as a bull, and is often insubordinate. Too damn smart for his own good, and loves to question his superiors and authority. He especially loves to challenge Price, as he's the only other alpha on the team. He’s always so antsy and hyper. Eager to kick some ass and to get out in the field,—sometimes too eager. Ends up compromising them occasionally due to his impatience. Most definitely performs better when the mission doesn’t involve waiting around or when there’s a team effort involved. Though that’s not to say he’s bad by any means with stealth or solo missions, it’s just not his specialty/not his favorite thing. He’s a great shot, like Ghost, and after all, his personality completely fits the whole demolitions expert thing. He’s just the type of guy who loves action and explosions and is a borderline pyromaniac,—what can he say. Can never sit still, always working out or getting his body moving somehow. He’ll often run wild/run laps around base in his doggy form to blow off steam or to help tucker himself out. Both the German Shepherd and Border Collie in him are strong, being super athletic and active, and his natural instinct to herd cattle and livestock is too. Having grown up on a farm, he had an outlet for this instinct, but since joining the military he no longer has one. So, this ends up translating into him obsessively pacing back and forth, like an animal with zoochosis. Or constantly following members of his task force (or sometimes random people/recruits) around like a lost puppy. Sticking to people like glue eventually gets to be irritating or a problem, and the incessant pacing tends to make others anxious and uneasy. Thankfully though, him and Simon own acres of land, and live together on a farm in the Scottish countryside (just like his childhood home). So when they’re on leave Soap gets to herd to his heart’s content, and get that pent up energy out. He’s not one to be too easily provoked, but you’d better watch out if you piss him off. He can be one nasty and aggressive son of a bitch if he wants to be, or if it calls for it. He’s almost equal in his reputation to Ghost for being one hard bastard and being scary. He may be a goofball and likes to play around, happy-go-lucky,—but you’d be mistaken if you think he isn’t capable of a much more serious attitude and approach. Though his nature does leans more towards being kind, respectful, and compassionate. The 1-4-1 often thinks of him as a golden retriever. He’s certainly intimidating, his canine form is about twice the typical size of his breed, or a normal dog for that matter. An expert fighter, specializing in hand-to-hand (or hand-to-paw) combat. A very sensitive and downright phenomenal sense of hearing, probably has the best hearing in the 1-4-1 in fact. (Which may surprising considering he works in demolitions, but he’s not stupid enough to not wear ear protection of some kind). His deep, ferocious sounding growl and loud bark certainly makes him even more frightening too. He’d also die before he’d let someone even lay a finger on the people he cares about most. Fiercely loyal, and protective as all get out.

TBC—other parts are going up right after this—

I wonder what it says about me that I absolutely love mad bombers as a character concept. And that I love to kitbash them. I just love a nut job with too many explosives, it's like how GW in general loves pyromaniacs.

Parts-wise he has a heap of sources asides from the obvious Hearthkyn bits. His head and his satchel are off an Orlock quadbike (with some liquid greenstuff burns). The detonator and one of his toolkits are from the Genestealer Cult Saboteur and his other toolkit and extra grenades are from the Iron head Squat sprue. There was a LOT of careful cutting for both his left hand and the detonator, lemme tell ya.

He also ended up with a different base body than the regular guy, at first thus was for the pose but I later realised this also kind of implies he blew his legs off at some point. Maybe when he got burned so bad? Maybe those were all 3 separate explosions? He does seem to be currently threatening to blow himself and anyone else in the room up, which in the 42nd millennium might actually encourage his enemies but such is life in the grimdark future.

OCtober 2024 day 2: new OC

World! Meet Blaze! Varia Assassin, explosive expert and local pyromaniac!

This guy is completely fucked in the head, totally bonkers. He's obessed with fire to the point where all safety meassures get thrown out of the window. If there's fire, he simply must touch it! No way around it, that's the rules, folks! His sun flames are the only reason why he hasn't been turned to ashes yet, his healing factor is off the charts, his only saving grace. Most of his stupid stunts only leave him with a burn scar as a souvenir, he's one lucky son of a bitch (not really his sun flames just get a lot of practice).

The idea for a pyromaniac OC has been stuck in my head for a while now but I actually decided on making one shortly after I released chapter 16 of the Guide. So yes, for anyone familiar with the story: He's the fucker that hugged people while on fire. He just wanted to spread the love :) Why are people running away? He doesn't mean any harm :)

However his proper design only came to me on *checks discord* 20th September, I roughly sketched him out during my holiday. I only shared a shitty photo of my tablet screen on my server though because no WiFi in that hut OTL

Anyways I have no clue if he's going to be plot relevant for the sequel but if there are any question about this nutjob, my inbox is always open 🫡

[stuckstucktrolls]

!! !! !! ♥

I'm.... not currently planning to make any new characters whole cloth. I have a bunch of ocs that I'm remaking for new stuff that I plan to put on the blog, so I guess that kinda works.

Two that I've had a super long time, Solaith and Maringa, are actually my first "real" OCs. They were part of a species that were the vampire equivalents for a story/comic I wanted to write, except aside from needing blood to survive, they didn't have much in common with vampires. Or at least Maringa was. They were half siblings and Solaith was half human. There was a whole thing about Maringa being kind of an unexpected chosen one, and Solaith was raised in a human family and became a paladin and them reuniting as adults later. Middle/high school story ideas, right? But they were also the first OCs I roleplayed as with other people, both in person and online. Solaith was also my first time really getting to try out being a guy even just character wise so, I can kinda thank him for eventually realizing I'm not a woman!

I'm probably shoving them into the space fantasy universe, not sure if they're going to be from a species that are vaguely vampire-y (energy drainers maybe?) or just making them one of the other species I've already figured out and just keep the basics of their personalities.

A newer character that I still kinda want to rework anyway is Merrosvon. He is already part of the space fantasy universe, but I feel like I need to push his character more than I have already? Like make it a little more extreme, give him a more interesting backstory. (Maybe it's already interesting? But I feel it needs MOAR.) Plus I need to flush out his connections and stuff so that I have a better idea where he fits in the bigger story. But at his base, he grew up in a kinda crappy family, started work young, left that the first chance he could with his first real friend who was in a similar situation, and they both worked their way to owning their own ship with their own crew. They take shady jobs and really only care about their crew and Keeping A Reputation with outsiders.

For a character I have now, Lyssav is the original poor little meow meow on the blog. He's a punk. He's a pyromaniac and explosives enthusiast. He might carry cat scratch fever but it doesn't affect him. He's hard of hearing and loves swing dancing. He was in a rails with pails relationship. His lusus is named Anfo. He looks like a lil guy but he's almost 7 feet tall. Like Nya, y'know?

[digi-dest-stories]

i got my take for the digi partners for each of the tf2 mercs:

soldier: kamemon (evoline: poyomon - bukamon - kamemon - gwappamon - shawjamon - jumbo gamemon);

heavy: bearmon and/or gulimon (evolines: bearmon: punimon - tsunomon - bearmon - grizzlymon - monzaemon - shin monzaemon; gulimon: jyarimon - gigimon - guilmon - growlmon - wargrowlmon - gallantmon/megidramon);

medic: ((both his partners have "maniac" tendencies like him)) biyomon (female) and/or sorcermon (male) (evolines: biyomon: puwamon - pinamon - biyomon -saberdramon - crowmon - varodurumon; sorcermon: pichimon - pagumon (white with blue eyes) - gomamon - sorcermon - baalmon/wisemon - beelzemon/belphemon/seraphimon);

sniper: loogamon ((his loyal hunting and spycheck "doggy")) (evoline: fusamon - bowmon - loogamon - loogarmon - soloogarmon - fenrilloogamon);

engineer: kotemon and/or fanbeemon (evoline: kotemon: metal koromon - kapurimon - kotemon - gladimon - knightmon - leopardmon; fanbeemon: pupumon - puromon - fanbeemon - waspmon - cannonbeemon - tigerwaspmon);

demoman: mushroomon ((he also loves explosions, but when he is in his mega form he also has drunk tendencies when with his tamer)) (evoline: yuramon - budmon - mushroomon - cherrymon - puppetmon);

pyro: flame wizardmon ((he has pyromaniac tendencies too, and sometimes if he is seen in pyro vision not only him but also the other mercs partners would look like cute fully harmless tamagothi creatures versions of themselves)) (evoline: mokumon - demi meramon - impmon - wizardmon/wizardmon x antibody/flame wizardmon - mistymon/baalmon x - dynasmon/gallantmon x/beelzemon x)

spy: mikemon ((his "kitty" who is also his precious "princess")) (evoline: yukimi botamon - nyaromon (with a tortoiseshell tabby like coloration) - mikemon - bastemon - lilithmon/magnadramon);

scout: terriermon and/or angoramon (evolines: terriermon: zerimon - gummymon - terriermon - gargomon - rapidmon/rapidmon (armor) - mega gargomon/black mega gargomon; angoramon: pyonmon - bosamon - angoramon - symbare angoramon - lamortmon - diarbbitmon);

ms. pauling: lunamon and/or lopmon ((like scout with ms. pauling, his respective partners also are in love with them (terriermon with lunamon and angoramon with lopmon)) (evolines: lunamon: pafumon - moonmon - lunamon - lekismon - crescemon - dianamon; lopmon: conomon - kokomon - lopmon - turuiemon/wendigomon/prariemon - antylamon (good) - cherubimon (good/virtue)/cherubimon (evil/vice)

how would be like the scenario of them first meeting their partners after a bunch mysterious looking eggs were left abandoned on RED base?

Oooooo those are all some interesting picks!

Gonna be honest with you - I'd imagine they'd try to eat it at first. Soldier would at least, maybe roping Demo (probably drunk) into helping him

No one stops them either. The worst they'll do is set the kitchen on fire and make a bunch of mess with the eggs. That's not too crazy

How very wrong they were

The eggs - All at once, as Soldier was prepared to crack them - hatched and there was just a bunch of Baby Digimon everywhere

The mercenaries are all trying to catch these giggly and slippery little guys, maybe shooting at them along the way. It's very chaotic, paired with a lot of yelling and maybe comedically girlish screams

The only ones who are dealing with this calmly are probably Spy, Engineer, and Pyro. Spy and Engineer are mostly calm because the little guys aren't really hurting anyone, just being annoying by causing chaos. Pyro is calm because they like the Digimon a lot

No one knows what Digimon are because there's no media about it (googled to check if they would have come out when TF2 is set - They did not)

Pauling is contacted eventually to help. When she gets there, she is promptly jumped by all the babies, who use her as a shield to hide from the Mercs

Some are hanging out with Pyro instead, using their presence as a shield

Eventually, all of them are caught and things are settled. It's very difficult to keep it settled, but yeah. More help on the battlefield :D

[daftdrac]

LMFAO NO ITS FINE .. I was just surprised to see you reblog it cause you're like.. MCYT stuff .. you probably know the BASIC basic cod shit cause tiktok simps (relatable) but. UH ghost is BIG scary fucker. 6'2" tall man. Intimidating. No one knows his identity. Spoopy sniper man. Soap is comic relief, he's Scottish and his accent is the butt of MANY jokes. He's loud and playful and flirty. Also he has a mohawk thing so like. Yeah. He's very clearly intended to be the comic relief character in mw (at least in the reboot, I don't know much about the og 2009 mw yet). But he's a demolitions expert. Personally I see him as a fucking crazy ass pyromaniac bitch (low-key projecting because I'm not allowed near explosives or fire,,,) cause like... some of his voice lines in the actual story/campaign thing idk sound a little TOO excited to be a grown ass man blowing shit up or watching another grown ass man kill someone (okay so there's a few soap dialogue lines I remember vaguely but I don't remember if they're canon of fanfic, MORE THAN LIKELY fanfic, but it was soap making a boner joke after watching ghost ambush some guy and slit his throat. Like WHAT) 😭 so yes I see him as a FREAKY BITCH. He's actually freaking crazy in my head. That man is FERAL I SWEAR to GOD.

LOOK. AT. HIM.

He's silly your honor (mentally ill)

Also Gaz is there he's my favorite

I think most of the budget went to making him look pretty actually I love him

SHYT THE FUCK UP OKAY I SAW YOU REBLOGGED THE SCARY SOAP POST THAT I REBLOGGED ... ARE YOU A FUCKING COD FAN CAUSE ILL GO FUCKING FERAL JAHRBSIAUEBKCI.

Uhhhhh

I don't know anything about COD, but if you want to tell me about it, I'll listen!

[overwatchfics]

uh hi! i just found your account, do you write for junkrat? if u do, can i get some general headcanons for him please? ^^

Junkrat Domestic HC's

He's a super rowdy guy, but has more sense than people give him credit for

makes life super exciting, if you're into bombs like he is he goes FERAL

Slime bombs? Check. Glitter bombs? Check

Do you guys have Nerf gun wars? ABSOLUTELY

When he's calm, he adores cuddles

You're both on his couch and his radioactively heated body is pressed up against yours on a sleepy Thursday afternoon

Idk who remembers the show "Destroy Build Destroy", but he'd love to make some popcorn and plop down and watch some with you

This man is a pyromaniac, loves to set stuff on fire and occasionally has a massive bonfire in his backyard

Very social guy, though not many friends. When he does these bonfires, he'll invite Mako, and Hammond

Hammond only goes for the food tbh

Jamison is a pro at BBQ he just knows how to get that explosive flavor

Mako brings the meat, God knows Jamison doesn't have the heart or the stomach to butcher meat like Mako does

When it grows dark, Jamison loves to play with fireworks, he makes all sorts of little contraptions that release difference colors and shapes into the air, and he'll make sure you can see it

Expect on new year's he'll have a massive show for just the two of you.

Jamison is mostly a giggly kisser and likes to draw laughs out of you.

Butterfly kisses, Eskimo kisses, neck kisses, anything that will get a laugh out of you

OH GOD, HE'S THAT ONE PERSON WE ALL FEAR WHO BLOWS RASPBERRIES

If he's being romantic, he goes more quiet than usual, and he'll kiss you till he can't breathe

his love language is quality time

So, spending time doing stuff together is really his go to for someone like him

A/N: He was fun and a little hard to write. Thank you!

[whatisthismandoinghere]

My sincerest apologies for skipping the last couple of nights but I'm back with another late night hogan's heroes analysis

Tonight we tackle "Everyone Has a Brother-in-Law"

I almost forgot about this episode and it used to be one of my favorites!! So I had a lot of fun 😂😂

There were so many good Carter moments you guys

I love whenever Carter makes explosion noises 😂😂 our little pyromaniac

"They can't do this to me!" Yeah you can't just cancel Carter’s explosions, how dare you

And then there's this gem

Absolutely living for sassy Hogan

Absolutely living for sassy Newkirk too, look at those eye rolls

My my we were awful violent today

Exhibit a

Hogan and Newkirk are both at that very special age where they only have one thing on their minds: homicide of course

Exhibit b

Why does Carter look so pleased with that idea?? Look at his face at the end 😂😂

Exhibit c

I'm with Lebeau on this one

Exhibit d

Newkirk did NOT ask for an opinion

Exhibit e

LeBeau was ready to bite someone's head off 😂😂 first he was barking at Hogan then he turned his wrath on Schultz. He is literally the definition of "is tiny, will fight you"

[vgilantee]

psssssh

it’s not even just that johnny’s the explosives expert on the team. he just gives minor pyromaniac vibes. and i say that as someone who loves setting shit on fire!!

i think gaz is also so so clever about it too. just looks like a normal guy. “oh why do you have a non-mutant on the team with guns and knives?” but he’s out here hitting every mark every time with just a tilt of his head or flick of his fingers. subtle but deadly.

price being able to become armoured is just a fun bonus. he can punch a hole through a concrete wall like it’s nothing. his strength alone is terrifying. but add the fact that he can get shot and yeah it hits and he bleeds but unless you hit something vital you can still see the bullet only an inch into his skin. i think maybe i might make it so his plating is thickest on his back… we’ll see

simon can also make static even without the clouds in full, so sometimes he has a light fog falling from his fingertips while sparks flick between them. the fog almost looks like black sand in those moments

i have so many ideas for the reader and her powers in action. i mean i’ve already told you about the type of prison she has to be in (add in the fact that she has to be awake to maintain temperature…).

it’s fun to play with what they can and can’t do because obv everyone has limitations and those are the most fun

do we… do we wanna hear my thoughts about mutant141? like xmen/marvel comics mutants.

[secondbeatsongs]

I'm a little late, but I have to share this story, because whenever I think of Nicholas Cage now, I laugh. I had a roommate who wasn't necessarily fond of him, and there was one picture (you know the one with his mouth wide open and a crazy grin on his face) that she just really hated. Apparently, you can get wrapping paper printed. So one of my other roommates got it printed or found wrapping paper with that face all over it. She of course bought it. We had to do something with it.

oh, my god. xD I love everything about that! it’s like a really advanced game of Where’s Waldo, and it’s a great idea for a prank!

and I'm assuming you mean this image, right?

well. I also have some fun stories about this picture of Nicolas Cage

story one:

when I went to that Magnetic Fields concert in November, the band played "I'm Sorry I Love You", and were super energetic, just really going for it! but as the song started to wind down, Claudia (one of the band members) dove behind the piano and then jumped back up, proudly holding up a printout of that same Nicolas Cage picture.

the crowd erupted with laughter, and the other band members turned to give her a “????” look, but she just shrugged. after the song was over, the rest of the band questioned her, and said she had no idea how it got behind the piano, but she saw it back there while she was dancing around with her tambourine, and thought it would be a fun moment. which it was!

story two:

it was New Year's Eve a few years back, maybe '15 or '16. I went out to the mountains with some friends to party and hang out for a few days, to ring in the new year with style. 

I didn't know most of the people there, but one guy I recognized because he was the son of my 6th grade science teacher, Mrs. C.

I brought a costco-sized multi-pack of matches and a bunch of stuff to light on fire, because that's what you do for New Year's Eve - but Mrs. C's kid had a better idea:

explosives.

(apparently it pays to be the kid of a science teacher-slash-ex-NASA-employee)

a group of us got together and made a plan. we met outside at a concrete slab that used to be a cabin, and I sacrificed most of my matches for the purpose of creating something that I now know is called Armstrong's Mixture.

(obligatory: do not try this at home, kids!)

anyway I'm not gonna go into details, but we prepared the ingredients and then carefully spread them on top of the only piece of scrap paper we could find - a printout of Nicolas Cage's face. then our resident pyromaniac cut the mixture like cocaine using his mom's CVS ExtraCare card, and folded it into a neat little packet.

he picked up a big rock, held it a few feet over the packet, and said, "When I say so...run."

"Okay. 3...2...1...scatter!"

we started running just as he let go of the rock, which hit the packet, and set off the explosive.

it was loud. it echoed off the buildings and out into the woods, and it completely obliterated Nicolas Cage's face.

after a minute we all ran back to see how our pyromaniac buddy fared, and he was sitting there grinning like a maniac. "I'm fine, don't worry," he said. "I've had tinnitus since I was a kid anyway."

probably one of the best ways I’ve ever spent New Year’s Eve.

so yeah, those are my two Nicolas Cage’s Face stories! thanks for coming to my ted talk

[cacoetheswriting]

if we made it - spencer reid

Pairing: Spencer Reid x fem!Reader Warnings: blood/gore, mentions of injuries etc., explosion, (usual cm stuff tbh), other than that just fluff Word Count: 1.5k Request By: anonymous: “can you do a spencer reid x fic where one or the other gets severely hurt??”

-

The sound of wailing sirens in the distance caused you to slowly open your eyes. Agonising pain coursed through your aching body. The damage you sustained in the explosion was quite severe. Left arm was definitely broken, a deep laceration spread across your torso oozing blood, blood also gushed down your forehead and cheeks. Your right hand moved to your face in a desperate attempt to identify the wound but the sudden movement only caused you to wince in misery.  

“Sp-pencer...” You managed to croak. “Spencer.” Gently you tilted your head from side to side analysing your surroundings. It was hard to see through all the heavy smoke, not to mention the throbbing sting from your head wound. You called out his name again a little louder but there was no response. 

Carefully you managed to sit up. That’s when you spotted the young doctor; laying motionless about ten feet away from you. “Spencer. No, no.” Panic overcame you. Despite the ache of your injuries you tried to stand. From experience you knew you were losing too much blood yet you ignored your better judgement and limped your way towards him.

“Spencer.” His name rolled off your tongue once again as a mere whisper. There were now tears in your eyes. You sat beside him, your whole body shaking. He didn't seem to have any major visible injuries apart from a few cuts and bruises here and there yet he was still unconscious. 

“Help! HELP!” The screams were tiring you out.

You fumbled through the pockets of his FBI jacket in search of his phone, since yours was in the car when it exploded, whispering ‘It’s gonna be okay Spencer’ over and over again. Luckily the device seemed to be working just fine and you managed to dial for help before dizziness completely overcame you and everything went black.

ABOUT SIX HOURS AGO

“So let me get this straight.” Emily stated curiously. “We’re now thinking this was arson? That we’re dealing with an arsonist?” She glanced between the team and sighed. “Couldn't this guy still be a pyromaniac like we profiled?” She enquired further.

It was Spencer who spoke next. “Pyromania is an impulse control disorder characterised by the pathological setting of fires. Interestingly enough most acts of arson are not committed by pyromaniacs.” “Of course they’re not.” Emily muttered under her breath and leaned back in her chair. This made Rossi snicker under his nose. 

Spencer continued: “A person with pyromania doesn't set fires for gain, ideological reasons, to express anger or for vengeance.” “By that definition they certainly don’t set fires to cover up another criminal act which we’ve now learned is what happened in this instance.” JJ chimed in. Spencer nodded.

“We have to relook at the whole profile.” Hotch stated. He proceeded to divide the team and assigning them various tasks. As usual you were paired with Spencer - not that was ever a reason to complain. 

As the rest of the BAU members scattered, Spencer got to his feet and walked up to the bulletin board. He turned back around to look at you. “Are you okay? I know arson cases are hard on you.” You tilted your head up to meet his gaze and smiled softly. “I’m okay Spencer.” He nodded and turned his attention to the map, your eyes still glued to the back of his head.

The rest of the afternoon flew by in a blink of an eye. Before you realised the sun outside had set and the sky now glistened with a million little stars. A small yawn escaped your mouth, The faint moan caught Spencer’s ear and he turned his attention from the map to you. “Coffee?” He raised an eyebrow. “Bed.” You replied with a soft giggle. Spencer smiled and looked at his watch. “Well we have been up for almost eighteen hours.” 

You looked back at the scattered papers on the table in front of you. It was no use to continue this tired. “On second thought, coffee does sound good.” You got up from the table and headed for the door. “Would you like one?” “Please, with creamer and suga-” “Sugar, I remember.” Spencer smiled and watched you walk out of conference room. 

The young doctor followed you with his gaze. He couldn't help but notice how incredible you looked lately. If he was being honest you were always beautiful, but lately it was as of he paid attention to it more. He did not realise until now how when you smiled your whole face lit up, how your eyes glistened. How your hair perfectly fell around your face complimenting your jawline. 

Maybe one of these days he'd have the courage to ask you for coffee outside of work, on a date. “One of these days.”, he thought to himself and looked back at the map. 

You waltzed back in shortly with two coffees in hand. “I’m just off the phone with Hotch.” You began whilst handing Spencer his drink. “Everyone is heading back to the hotel, we’re gonna pick up tomorrow morning.” “Would you like to go too?” He enquired. “If the hot chocolate instead of coffee in your cup isn't clue enough.” You joked, hoping he'd laugh. He did. 

Spencer got behind the wheel, like he always did with you. He waited for you to get settled in before starting the car. Click. “Did you hear that?” “No.” You looked around for the source of the noise and decided it was just your mind playing tricks. 

About ten minutes into the drive back to the hotel - click. “Okay you must have heard it this time?” You furrowed your eyebrows confused. Click. Click. That’s when you knew what was coming. 

You locked eyes with the young doctor. Panic. 

Before either of you could react there was an enormous explosion. A rift of orange flame engulfed the vehicle. Windows shattered. Smoke and fire rushed in. You blacked out. 

The ringing in your ears brought you back to reality. White. All you could see was white. You blinked a couple of times; until the hospital room came into a clear view. Someone grabbed your hand.

“You’re awake.” The voice you knew all too well. “Spencer...” His name rolled off your tongue with such ease it made your heart skip a beat. “Spencer you’re okay.” Your hands travelled to his face, surprisingly he did not flinch. Instead he shifted in his spot closer to you. 

“How? How are you sitting here right now? You were unconscious and yo-ou were-n’t-t breathing and-d-” There were now tears in your eyes. Your chin began to tremble. 

Spencer squeezed your hand tighter. “The doctors checked me out and I’m all good, just some bruises.” He reassured, his voice soothing. He wiped the tears from your cheeks with his thumb. 

There was a brief moment of silence in which the two of you simply looked into each others eyes. The young doctor cleared his throat. You bit your bottom lip, your heart now in your throat. 

“You should rest.” Spencer consoled. “I’ll be right outside in the waiting room getting some work done.” “You can work from here.” You said almost too quickly. “I mean-” “I’ll stay.” A smile spread on your face from cheek to cheek. It made Spencer smile. 

The young doctor watched as you leaned back in your pillow. His mind was racing at this point and he couldn't pinpoint one thought, which was something he didn't experience often. What he did know however was that the two of you were lucky to be alive. “It was a gas explosion.” You wanted to interrupt but he continued. “As gas explodes, it produces a powerful shockwave that surges away from the ignition point. This blast, and the heat radiated from the combusting gas, are extremely dangerous.” 

“I’m not sure where you're going with this Spencer.” “In most gas explosions, the heat of the blast is hard to escape, because it radiates in all directions.” He took a deep breath. “We survived and it doesn't make sense to me.” “Spencer, not everything in the world has to make sense.” “This should.” 

You wish you knew what to say - you usually did. Instead you reached for the folder on your lap and began going through the file. Work. Work always helped him. He of course knew what you were doing and in that moment it brought everything into perspective.

“Y/N?” “Yes?” “Would you like to have coffee sometime?” “We have coffee all the time at work.” You joked. “Well then would you like to have coffee sometime outside of work. I would like to take you on a date.” Your eyes darted from the papers in your lap. “A date?” “A date.” 

There was nothing to think about. No hesitation. “I would love to have coffee with you sometime Spencer.” The young doctor beamed at you. “Only took us almost dying for you to ask me.” You teased. “Better be some really good coffee.” “The best coffee you’ve ever had.” Spencer replied. Gently, he lifted your hand to his lips and kissed it softly.

hello may I know some things about your OC Clay? what kind of story is he from? what setting does he live in??? any family members or significant other or besties??? what's his personality like?

aaaaaa absolutely!!

he's my character in Fallout New Vegas! he was shot in the head (twice) trying to make a courier delivery, but thankfully was dragged out of the shallow grave they dumped him in by a robot who pulled him all the way to the town doc who managed to patch him up.

Clay's fairing pretty well, all things considered, but it's left his memory incredibly foggy-- he only remembers that his name is Clay, nothing else, and that his job is making deliveries, but that's about it. He's a pretty quiet guy to begin with, but the head injury jacked up how easily words come to him as well, but he's just kinda. rolling with that update. He used to have longer hair (like put-in-a-pony-tail-long) but it all got buzzed during the emergency "someone tried to put two bullets in your head" surgery, and he just keeps it short now.

(art by @ollierachnid :])

He's a pretty big dude, built like someone you'd expect to be a bouncer or bodyguard, and pretty darn good at throwing punches, but he's a really gentle and kind guy. He tries to avoid the fighting options, but it's nearly always impossible skdjfhskdjhf

A bonus of his "big and quiet" demeanor is a lot of people just kinda write him off or ignore him, which means they openly talk about important things around him, or underestimate what he can do. He doesn't mind this, especially since he almost always benefits from it

Uhhhh what else Big into creating his own explosives, might be a bit of a pyromaniac, is a good hunter and loves and cares for animals a lot and always loves having pets around and admiring wild critters, is fluent in Spanish and English, very bad at cards but plays them anyway and carries a set with him, likes to press flowers while he's traveling in his things

He's friends with a lot of the NPCs or companions in game, esp Arcade, Raul, and Sunny Smiles, + he's inherited the cyborg dog Rex from The Kings :]

Since he doesn't really have much to go on after waking up in the doctor's office, he decides to track down the package that got stolen from him and deliver it like he was supposed to, because its his job, and what else is he gonna do? The guy that ‘killed’ him, Benny, has a huge shock when Clay casually strolls up to him in the casino in Vegas

Oh and Clay's full name is Cassius Clay Vasquez, and he used to go by Cash, but he doesn't really remember that, so Clay he is :]

So from what has kinda been confirmed in canon

006 is the intel guy, 032 is the tech guy, 005 is the assassin, 016 is the sharpshooter, and 018 is probably the torture specialist.

I love your headcanon that 018 is their explosives guy though lmao. I personally think that 018 and 008 are the clean-up guys and they just pile all the bodies of those that they killed before setting it on fire 'cause 018 is a little bit of a pyromaniac. Just a little.

I've been thinking for a while... are the numbers split by specializations?

In chapter 96, Ijin says that 005 is specialized specifically in assassinations and then he mentioned kidnapping and blackmail. So I've been thinking that certain numbers, because of their abilities, attitudes, or even their preferences specialize in certain things.

Let's take 004 and 006 for example. 004, while I believe he's fully capable of these things, doesn't specialize in info gathering or blackmail of any sort. I don't think he'd enjoy it and he's very temperamental. He even says at one point that he likes risking it instead of playing it safe and efficient the way Ijin did. He kinda seems like a loose canon. So like 005, who while incredibly intelligent is still reckless and gets angry very easily, I'm going to lump him in the area of assassination, specifically using closer combat like hand-to-hand, knives, and pistols. 006 on the other hand, is very well-suited for info-gathering and maybe even infiltration given all that we've seen from him in canon.

I'd like to say that Ijin and 002 are relatively on similar grounds and are very well-rounded in nearly everything which is why they're given the numbers they have and are regarded as the overall leaders.

So basically I think the numbers are split based on what they specialize in, whether that be intelligence, assassination, kidnapping, infiltration, maybe even robbery lol? What do you think?
