Weekend Update 02/25/2024

Nerdie! You saw it right! He won! *hugs tightly*

Yes he did! 🥰 We're all so happy for him! Finally!

We're also buzzing about how he looks like he's on the cover of a romance novel. Maybe on a ranch, maybe in the 1800's. It's a pretty versatile look. He likes his deep V's....

As we all should. Also, I'm taking notes on that. *scribbles*

Anything new besides, well clearly pirate adventures?

Pirates have scurvy and Pedro is well nourished so none of that. Other ideas for his characters. Ezra and Pero might have scurvy though. I did manage to write some this week. It's been busy. 👀 Ugh...real life stuff. Nothing major. Just needs to be done.

Nerdie's fics:

Guiding Light (Ezra one shot - I was chatting with @lady-bess and had the idea for this. I always have Ezra in some crime. 😎)

Lunch is happening right? (Part two of my summer romance Javi G fic. Not sure how many parts.)

He told me his name (Din Djarin x plus size female reader) I wrote it after reading a new Din fic by @ramblers-lets-get-ramblin (will be listed below. I'd still call it moody because despite writing, I still have trouble with my vocabulary. 🤣 It is pretty though. I'm working on a follow-up since people asked 👀)

Can't win carino (Javi G one shot - for @i-own-loki because she gave me the idea and the moodboard so I ran with it.)

The Man Next Door (Jake Lockley one shot for @megamindsecretlair because she kinda asked, more like I asked her what she wanted in it. She asked for action and smut. I might try more action in fics later.)

Get a room you two and BONE (Part two of my Tim Rockford comedy series which now has romance? I binged too much B99, watched a bit of Castle and a few episodes of Kojak with my mom. The insanity will only increase with part three but maybe there might be some growth between Tim and Doc? Or a hippo.)

Nerdie I thought you said you were busy....that's six fics...

I was and some of them I had been working on for a while. I also had some insomnia (that lead to parts two and three of the Tim Rockford fic). Anyway, on to the main event! 😘

Nerdie's fic recommendations! or things I read this week. 😄

14 x kisses by @trulybetty (Jack Daniels x reader) Part of her 29 days of valentines for February.

Sorgan Girls Are Easy - Solo Din Djarin by @ramblers-lets-get-ramblin (the fic that inspired my Din - her Din has 100% more smut)

Half of you - chapter 3 by @foxilayde (Santiago Garcia x fem. reader) Slow burn series - love it and trying to read it slowly to savor it.

Falling for you by @toomanystoriessolittletime (Javi Pena x fem reader) A bittersweet read that had me wonder what was next but I was hopeful.

Sunday Naps by @javierpena-inatacvest (Frankie Morales x fem reader) More proof that cuddling with Frankie leads to wonderful things.

Poe Dameron falling in love with his shy best friend (GN reader) by @i-belong-to-the-stars What one hopes for if you're shy and you're in love with those curls...er Poe. 🫣

Mystery Strain by @rebel-held (Dieter Bravo x GN reader) All kinks are valid and who doesn't love Dieter with a belly? 😘

Bulletproof by @laurfilijames (Jax Teller x fem reader) She wrote poetic porn with feelings. I was overcome, titllated and confused.

A girl walks into a bookshop by @oonajaeadira (Ezra x fem reader) Soft Ezra with a bookshop, yes please! 😄

Beneath the mask by @saradika (Din Djarin x fem reader) A medieval knight Din...so where does one pick up the velvet dress?

Loneliness by @sirowsky (Pero Tovar x GN reader) Pondering Pero in your local Park? Highly recommended for Valentine's Day.

15 x cashmere by @trulybetty (Joel Miller x GN reader) What thread count was it that encouraged Joel to hop in bed in such a state? For my personal file. 👀

He sees you by @maggiemayhemnj (Joel Miller x reader) This writer will tell you she just loves words. I would argue that the words love her in a unique way that makes you see the things. 💜

16 x dance by @trulybetty (Tim Rockford x reader) I pictured him dancing with the reader in his trench coat. @secretelephanttattoo (El) is to the holsters as I am to the trench coat. 🤣 In my mind.

Quiet Moments Collection by @secretelephanttattoo (various Pedro characters x reader) It’s the small instances that you think don’t matter, that are the most meaningful.

Plus One by @always-andromeda (Frankie Morales x fem reader) Always a fan of two idiots in love, even with their spat.

A Strange Fate by @youandmeand5bucks (Silva x fem reader) Two people who came together because of life circumtances. Are they really satisfied?

A Beskar Valentine by @firstofficerwiggles (Din Djarin x female reader) Awesome username, it makes me giggle. Din will be ten steps ahead and still fifteen behind when it comes to matters of the heart. My guy is an overthinking champion.

Seven by @lokischocolatefountain (Javier Pena x reader) A simple discussion about children leads Javier to a drastic solution.

To be Explored Later by @legendary-pink-dot (Frankie Morales x fem reader x Santiago Garcia) aka Ms. Curls if ya nasty! 😘 Somehow I missed the gem of a sandwich. How the reader was able to think about anything is beyond me.

Red Light Glow by @missredherring (Lucian Flores x fem reader) This man has me and @rhoorl keeping track of his silk shirt and gold chain. We would accept his call. The guilt would go away too quickly if we felt it at all. 😌

Incarnadine by @iamskyereads (Pero Tovar x fem reader) This Pero has me swoon with his care toward the reader, his love of baths (I just want him to soak and relax - he's been earning coin!), and his word choice. This is another person that words appear to favor. 💜

Not like I fangirled over these writers this week or anything 👀

What on the docket for this week Nerdie?

Part three of the Javi G summer romance

Maybe...Roc & Doc part three I don't like sitting on finished parts but then I whine about having no motivation for the next part. 👀 I make no sense.

March is toward the end of the week so my March Spring Prompts will start! I scheduled the first six days I think. I got anxious about getting behind (which isn't the point of doing them but anxiety doesn't care) and did some in advance. I like how they're coming along and that they're short. Unlike this update. 🤣 They won't have summaries, but will have warnings, tags and notes.

And because I hear series and I think "I should start another one!" I decided to write an Ezra series. How did I happen upon our favorites prospector/scoundrel/reluctant father figure? I've been reading works by @morallyinept @maggiemayhemnj and @magpiepills

Ezra intimidated me because of his language, but actually, I think I'd get along with him because he puts on a persona with a great deal of performance. It's the audience's job to figure out if you're serious or not. Or at least that's how I approached him. 🤨 This could go badly. I stuck him on the bayou with an air boat and I want him to cook gumbo. *full delusional achievement unlocked*

Special shout-outs to @connectioneverywhere and @soft-girl-musings for sending me lovely asks this week.

Also to @inept-the-magnificent who called Tim Rockford her sidepiece and I am still very tickled. 🤣

This update was long 🤗 Hehe

Love Nerdie ❤️

[smokersbaby]

Fourth submitted request for the July Event, enjoy! 💕 SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN (CLICK HERE TO SEE THE MAIN POST)

Request text: Hi Bea! How are you? It's my first time sending you an ask ❤️ I'm so glad you have your request open for this month. If I may join, I'd love to request Ace with a female reader NSFW with prompt #3 (telling dirty fantasy). For the kinks, maybe body worship and praise kink. For the details, Ace and the reader are best friends and they do it in car (on the backseat) at night while the rain is pouring heavily adbdjahsks 😭😭 thank you so much and have a nice day! ��� Written for: @downforsanji Character: Ace Reader: female reader  Prompts:  NSFW: #3 - telling you a dirty fantasy + praising kink + body worshipping TW prompt #3 NSFW: oral sex (receiving), penetrative sex, praising Total word count: +1,1k  Author's note: Thank you so much for giving me this idea to write for, it was my first time writing a fanfic with Ace and I was so involved in the dynamics of it that I finished this in a few hours! I hope you enjoy it! (I'm fine btw, thank you for asking!) 💕 -Every reblog is highly appreciated!-

The rain was coming down hard, making the roads slick and hazardous. As Ace was driving cautiously, you were sitting in the passenger seat looking out of the car's window as the rumbling thunders were striking in the dark sky at night.

The two of you had known each other for years, just friends at the beginning and slowly becoming besties. Ace was the kind of guy who loved joking around with you and being flirty, but since you knew it was his way of being friendly, you never paid attention to his behaviour, so you never suspected that he may have a crush on you.

But tonight felt different. Maybe it was the late hour or the way the rain seemed to add a bit of magic to the world outside. Whatever it was, a spark seemed to ignite between the two of you, and Ace felt the urge to say something, anything, that would break the tension he felt between you two.

Ace stopped the car aside on an isolated country street, the rain wasn't giving any sign of stopping soon.

"You know," he began, his voice low, almost afraid of being heard over the sound of the heavy drops on the car's roof, "I've always wondered what your lips taste like." You chuckled hearing that from him, just as it was another flirty joke of his, but as soon as you turned towards him, you saw his dark eyes fixed on you, not a hint of playfulness in them.

As you realized that he was being serious, you felt your heart leap into your throat as you looked over at Ace. There was no denying the attraction that buzzed between you, the way the air seemed to crackle with electricity. But what about your friendship? What if that kiss would have ruined everything? "You may lose your best friend" a little voice echoed in your head, trying to find a way to deny what you were feeling for him.

"Fuck it" you whispered to yourself, driving out the rational side of you and leaning closer to him pressing your lips onto his. His lips were so warm, almost burning. Was that because he was the fire himself or because he waited so long for that kiss that he couldn't take it anymore and burning from desire?

His hands went immediately to your waist, pulling you closer as his mouth devoured yours, he felt like a starved man craving your lips. As he was wrapping your body, you felt the handbrake and other car accessories between your bodies and realized that the backseats were probably more comfortable than the front ones.

In less than a minute you were laying down in his backseat with Ace's body above yours, his lips not leaving yours for even a single second. "They are soft Y/N… just as I imagined" he whispered as Ace trailed kisses down your jaw and on your neck, making you feel butterflies in your stomach for the warm feeling against that sensitive part of you.

As the rain continued to pour, his hands started roaming your body hesitantly, making sure you were okay with him touching you. The way your body reacted to his touch through soft moans made Ace realize that you were eager to feel his touch on your skin. "Y/N, you know… I always had this little fantasy of mine, I want to try it with you.".

Ace worked his way down your stomach reaching the end of your dress and lifting it revealing your black laced panties. He started kissing your tummy slowly going down your inner tights, biting them softly but enough to let soft bite marks on both of them. Ace's hands wouldn't stop caressing them, as if he was obsessed with that part of your body.

"I want to know what you taste like, Y/N" Ace murmured as his face was so close to your already drenched panties, pulling them away to expose yourself to his touch. Ace didn't waste any time and went straight to the point, his tongue lapping your cunt to savour you and then lingering on your clit, making you whimper at every movement of his lips against your pussy.

"God, you taste so good Y/N, I can't get enough of you," Ace said as he was still eating you up, his tongue whirling around your sensitive spot and going down to lap your cunt to not neglect a single spot of your needy pussy. The rumble of the thunders outside the car and the heavy drops falling hard on the roof of it made Ace dive deeper into your cunt with his tongue, to make you moan louder so that he could hear your voice over the sounds of the rain and thunders.

Your fingers slid through Ace's hair as he continued his work of art making you a total mess, his hands still on your tights to keep them spread for him and gripping them as if he was obsessed with that part of your body. "Your body drives me crazy Y/N" Ace murmured lifting his head from your pussy, leaving it with a needy feeling of taking him inside and clenching around nothing as if you were starving for him.

You didn't need to tell him though, even if you were in almost total darkness, Ace could feel your heavy breath and your body asking for more. His boxers were pulled down by him immediately after, crawling over you in the little space of his backseats. Ace's kisses were needy and intense, his tongue entangling with yours before pulling away and looking down at you to meet your gaze.

"What are you doing to me? I can't resist you" he said just before stretching your throbbing pussy with his hard and veiny cock, making you whine his name as he buried himself deep inside of you. The way your cunt started to clench around his shaft due to the feeling of fullness he was giving you, made Ace groan more than he was already doing, praising words slipping out of his mouth.

"You feel incredible Y/N, please let's not just be best friends, I want you to be mine…". His thrusts were becoming faster and deeper, your hands holding onto his back to feel him pressed against you as Ace was fucking you so deliciously in the backseats of his car during that stormy night.

No way you could return as just best friends from that night on.

GMMTV 2024 PART 2 - BINGO

For the upcoming event on April 23rd (which I'm not going to be able to watch live 😭😭😭)

I was quite pleased with part 1 🌈🥰 And let's be real, I've got no time to make another bingo card for part 2 so here's what's left of my first card!

Thanks again to @icouldhyperfixatehim for creating this awesome bingo card.

Things I’m fairly sure we’re getting:

Firstkhao series (pretty much confirmed)

Mark fucking Pakin KISSING (it looks like we're getting MarkOhm??)

(And that's it since I've had no time to snoop on social media recently and anyway I looove to be surprised)

And yes I'm aware we're not getting a Fluke Pusit main role since my man moved on from GMMTV since then (to get himself his own main role: bravo!!)

Things I would really like to see:

P'Jojo said somewhere that he’d like to do a domestic cutesy BL, please give the man what he wants. As a general rule, GMMTV should just let Jojo do whatever Jojo wants to do, period.

P’Aof once said in a interview that he would like to work with actors he hasn’t work with yet and that among gmmtv he hadn’t had the chance to work with Gun (or Krist) soooooooooo this could be the year is what I’m saying.

PLEASE give me something by the BMF production team (P'Waa Waasuthep, who also directed The Gifted) because Be My Favorite is definitely one of my favorite series, it was perfect.

Another more politically oriented drama (à la The Eclipse, Not Me)

Since remakes are in right now, you know what I would love a Thai take on? Color Rush! I really liked this KBL, it had SUCH an interesting premise but… *sigh* it was way too short to be impactful imo (the vibe of the show though omg). (P'Nuchy? P'Golf?)

More trans characters with great supporting roles/strong storylines, more non-binary characters

More QUEER ELDERS!! Different generations of queer interacting (ex: the gay uncles in My Ride the series, they were EVERYTHING)

Already completed in Part 1 :

EARTHMIX: Ossan's Love TH

ADULT LIFE BL (post uni): The Trainee, Peaceful Property, Ossan's Love TH, Wandee Goodday, hell I'll put Pluto in it too!

GEMINIFOURTH: My Love Mix-Up!

OFFGUN and TAYNEW: separately but whatever it counts (and anyway it was a wishful dream)

NEO SERIOUS ROLE: Am I splitting hair? Who's knows? But it does not look like he's playing a clown in My Golden Blood, gimme baseball bat!Neo

1 GL NEW SHIP: Pluto (plus several side couples!!)

MAGICAL REALISM BL: My Golden Blood's more supernatural but saaaaaaaaame

NEW WTF SHIP: JossGawin +  NamtanFilm

GAWIN CASKEY MAIN ROLE: My Golden Blood

WINNYSATANG + AOUBOOM + ENSEMBLE BL CAST: We Are the series

[m34gs]

You asked me earlier and now I want to aks you! What are your top five favourite scenes (main plot, event, etc) from Twisted Wonderland?

Hi friend! Thank you so much for this ask, I'm happy to share my answers as well 🥰💜 Sorry I took so long, I was waiting for my day off and then I had to think about it quite a bit because there's some really really good scenes that I love in a lot of the game! But I think I have it narrowed down! (for the sake of simplicity, I did NOT include vignettes, and I haven't played all that is available for Book 7 yet so I didn't include it either)

Let's count it down!!!

5: Book 6, when Crewel is helping manage the infirmary after STYX attacks the campus. For obvious reasons, you know. (And for those who don't know, it's because I'm crushing on Crewel real hard and I find a man taking care of others, especially when he's taking care of kids, incredibly hot)

4: Book 3, when Jade and Floyd go to comfort Azul after his overblot. I just love those three so much. Book 3 is my second-favourite (current fave being book 6 because IDIA MY SON) and their friendship just makes my heart melt so much. Also, one of the major scenes that cemented me shipping Jade and Azul together, because of the level of concern that seemed to come across from Jade in that scene. I just loved it.

3: Glorious Masquerade event, when Idia confronts Rollo Flamme. Ugh, it hurt my heart so much. And I could feel Idia reliving his own pain while he was talking to Rollo. I just about started crying. It was so emotional. Also, I just adored that entire event because, as you know friend, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of my absolute favourite Disney films. The art and the music are amazing. I really think this event did justice to both the animation and the soundtrack of the original film. I truly loved it so much.

2: Book 4, when Yuu and Grim fall into the Octavinelle dorm while running from Scarabia. Listen, I absolutely *love* when a character goes to someone they helped in the past, desperate and scared, and that person reacts like "who scared you :) I just wanna *talk*". And that is *exactly* what happened in that scene. You cannot convince me otherwise. It was so beautiful. I was giggling so much.

Honourable mentions: Book 5 Malleus reveal for Yuu (and the reveal to the other cast of Yuu's nickname for him); Book 6 Rook, Epel, and Yuu finding the Island of Woe and confusing the shit out of Idia; Book 3 finding out Yuu and Grim stayed up all night to scream outside Leona's door until he caved in and agreed to help them; Book 3 reveal of the twins' eel forms; Phantom Bride event Idia getting fucking kidnapped; Book 6 Rook and Vil revealing how they met and sounding exactly like a married couple telling their children how they fell in love; Wish Upon a Star event Idia showing up because he wants Ortho to be happy.

1: And the number one spot goes to: BOOK 6 IDIA'S OVERBLOT. Ok, I know, this scene isn't happy. And his overblot extends for more than just a scene, it's a pretty significant chunk of the story in Book 6, but still. If it isn't fucking cathartic. I live for that shit. I could feel his heartache. I find I identify a lot with Idia's desire to protect and care for his younger brother. Finding out what happened to him, and finding out where his brother was tugged at my heart so much. Seeing him basically descend into madness for the sake of his brother? Relatable. 10/10 I would do the same for either of my siblings. If they were trapped in basically hell and wanted to unleash destruction on the world? Who am I to say no??? So I get it. Plus, I really enjoy the overblot designs. I think they're so pretty, and I love Idia's. Also, I just love the imagery of him opening Tartarus. Of him falling into it. This is my personal bias but I think the inky overblot style looks the best on his colour palette 💜

Hope my answers satisfied your curiousity, my friend!

[unioncolours]

Hello my friend 🥰

For writing asks, I’d like to request 4, 19, 26, 28, and 35 ❤️

Thank you for joining the

[Yet Another] 'Questions for Fic Writers'

game 🥰

4. How do you channel characters' voices and personalities?

This comes actually very natural to me, it is hard to explain. I think it relies a lot on extrovertism vs introvertism, and social dominance vs social submission in the way the character speaks. I am aware that I make the conscious choice of toning down canon ways of speaking, like for example the use of "troublesome" for Shikamaru (and Shikadai), because it feels in my context weird. So yeah, I use their personalities in context and I assume it works.I have recieved critique on Shikadai, where people have said I make him too aggressive, but in the contexts of those scenes he isn't "too aggressive/OOC" and I stand by my choices to make Suna pop out in him more than the anime shows 😤

19. What's the most unusual or unique setting you've used?

HAHA, everyone who has read my historical aus (When I am Gorgeous and no one cries for unknown soldiers) knows those settings are pretty unusual, especially for the WWII one. When scouting the library of WWII aus on AO3 before and while writing that fic, it was evident the most common setting was set in either London during the blitz or somewhere in Germany (often civil settlements), and not in a random swamp in the north east of Europe. When I am Gorgeous is set on a specific island which exists for real outside the coast of Finland, so that is pretty specific.

In other AU news, welp, the Witcher AU will be "unique" I suppose, especially since it will be based on the game and not the Netflix series.

Canonverse is a common setting, but I guess the Majsasaurus-made island of Budo Tochi from Labyrinth of Confusion was specific and nice 😋

26. How do you approach plot twists or surprises in your fics?

They come to be in dreams. Haha, not really, but they almost exist there from the beginning, as the beginning point of plotting. In To dance above the Stars, the main character-driven plot point (Inojin) was the first thing I decided about the entire story, the rest came as I tried to justify *why* said plot point would happen.

And about the cliffhangers which turn into surprises, oh man, they just come just as natural as breathing. I just know when to place cliffhangers 😂 I begin to be enough experienced for it to just unfold.

28. What's the most ambitious or challenging fic you've ever written?

In ANY OTHER TIMELINE the WWII fic would not have been as challenging at it turned out to be, but because of real political events and wars and actual real scares it was insanely difficult to stay sane while finishing off the fic, due to which countries were represented in the fic.

I would say Labyrinth of Confusion was challenging too, given how so many different plot points had to unfold realistically and believably and all puzzle pieces make sense. The fic was also 92k long so it was a lot of work.

To dance above the Stars was also challenging given the themes represented, but I prepared well so in the moment I wasn't seeing it as challenging.

35. What do you enjoy most about being a fic writer?

Man, just being able to write for fun. I love writing and am good at it. I've recieved so much love and met so many awesome people that it makes it all so enjoyable 💖

[saulwexler]

saul gone aired almost a year ago so maybe that's why i can't stop thinking about the whole thing rn. it all stems from the fact that i genuinely miss a show i can't even bring myself to watch anymore. but anyway. my mind keeps coming back to one element in particular: the handling of mcwexler's mental health. 6b tries and tries to show you how jimmy's self-destructive behaviors have taken a toll on him, but then nothing seems to matter anymore when he hears kim's confessed and then he proceeds to do it as well – in what seems to me like a classic "love saves you 🥰" narrative more suited for other kind of media imho. and as for kim, i know she starts to volunteer in the law again or whatever, i know she goes to cheryl, i know she isn't wearing those loser clothes in the last scene, still, i wish she could've gotten more of her journey – she was one of the main characters... until she wasn't anymore, and you were left to try and solve the puzzle of who is this person and how she's going to fight those demons that haunted her way before the howard tragedy. for a show who made me fall in love with these people's minds and how fucked up they were, the lack of closure or even perhaps realism and depth in the finale in regards to their traumas still makes me so sad

False it’s been 900 years since Saul Gone aired. It actually feels like grief since I don’t typically get that emotionally invested in shows and I don’t see it happening again. I can’t go back and I can’t go forward. just sitting in a corner i haunt 😩

my mind keeps coming back to one element in particular: the handling of mcwexler's mental health.

mental health in bcs lives in my head rent-free and I can barely articulate it. He was able pull out of his mental breakdown using the saul mask one more time, but it wasn’t really addressed 🤷🏻‍♀️ like, Jimmy has intense baggage, criminality-addiction-metaphors plus textbook mental health issues. He clearly has a good heart and is genuinely trying to dig himself out of a hole, but traumatic events keep piling up, and he lost the only people he could turn to for support (and these relationships were unhealthy to begin with). In a show that deals more with realism in the justice system, life in prison thematically works as jimmys ending! - it’s storage space for the mentally ill, addicted, and lonely. cynical and dark? sure!

nothing seems to matter anymore when he hears kim's confessed and then he proceeds to do it as well – seems to me like a classic "love saves you 🥰" narrative more suited for other kind of media imho.

This goes back to my theory theres a reason so many people seemed to think jimmy’s confession must have saved kim from her own punishment. The knowing glance before the the bait and switch confession feels like it should free her because that’s the type of cliche we are used to *in other kinds of media*. If life in prison doesn’t help her and love doesn’t redeem him, we are left with that more cynical dark ending (which doesn’t not work!) But the lighthearted tone from his sorkin-esque speech to the bus chant minimizes just how bleak his ending really is. It feels glib in a way no other character ending was.

The change of heart after he hear’s about Kim’s confession also denies him the same character growth. Kim is still his moral compass. If she told him to confess about lalo when the ada offered the deal (and i suspect when she was leaving him) i think he would have. but at least he became a man worthy of looking kim wexler in the eye! No longer a dog in kim’s presence now that he regained his humanity! humanity he lost from… trauma 🫠

There is “up to interpretation” and there is confusing. i chose confusing since gould and co have more recently doubled down on their *official* version (that jimmy wont get out early, probably wont see kim again). i would like a sane reason why they felt the need to backtrack on this instead of leaving us in peace.

as for kim, i know she starts to volunteer in the law again or whatever, i know she goes to cheryl, i know she isn't wearing those loser clothes in the last scene, still, i wish she could've gotten more of her journey – she was one of the main characters... until she wasn't anymore, and you were left to try and solve the puzzle of who is this person and how she's going to fight those demons that haunted her way before the howard tragedy.

it's frustrating the way kim was such an afterthough in 6b after being one of the most nuanced female character’s i’d ever seen. She just… wasn’t there, and when she was there she didn’t talk. i love rhea, she deserves all of the awards, but iif people think her best performance was sobbing on a bus I will riot. LET HER SPEAK!

We went from “i had to time of my life with you” to her telling some rando “when i knew him, he was [good]” like who is this person!!! We were so used to the slow organic character development there was definitly shock value in how she was post-time jump. trauma and guilt impact people, plus it’s been 6 years, and us obsessive freaks can take a stab at connecting these gaps! but honeslty i could do the same thing if instead of girloser floridakim, she became a train jumping hobo or a wall street trophy wife or an alcoholic working at piggly wiggly or whatever. She has become the blank puzzle.

for a show who made me fall in love with these people's minds and how fucked up they were, the lack of closure or even perhaps realism and depth in the finale in regards to their traumas still makes me so sad

it's still so frustrating that this show treated these characters with such nuance and depth, only to end things in. black and white. my theory with bob’s cantankery is its exactly like that. he keeps saying how miserable playing jimmy was, as such a lonely sad character… he suffered for his art and for what? for people to think he had a simple ending? Misery forever:)

[mikia87]

I finally started Steam Prison. This game is AMAZING! I think it has become my favorite otome game💖 (or at least equal to Olympia Soirée).

It has everything I like in a video game : a fantastic story, a complex political and social situation of the world, action, romance, a lot of emotions, great characters, a strong main female character, good music and art, etc.👌 This game is literally like a RPG : there are fights (without the gameplay), a deep story, political issues and the characters even go into prison and sewers (like many RPGs)!

I seriously love this game!❤️ I can't wait to continue and know what will happen.😊

But I’m surprised and sad that there is no anime of this game.😔

A few days ago I finished Eltcreed’s route. I really love him & his story!❤️ He’s awesome, he’s hot, funny & so dramatic.😄 And his music is great!🎵

3 words to describe Eltcreed : Kisses, sex and pasta.😆👌

I just finished Ines’ story. I love this character, he's so cute!🥰 It’s interesting to see the story from this point of view. And I knew it was him that she had already met.😌

Also I'm glad to see that Fin has a better ending in Ines' good ending.😁

Ulrik’s route is done. His story gets interesting at the end. But I’m not really a fan of this character. He acts like a kid & it’s so annoying…😑

The best parts of his story are when Eltcreed is there.😆 Big bro Elt is always there for him.😙 (He’s amazing & so funny! Man, I love him.)

I finished Adage’s route. His story is really good, but creepy… He has one of the most disgusting scenes/bad endings in the game.😰

And Adage is fine. I’m not a big fan of his personality, but he’s ok.. I love the🦎scenes.😆

Yune's route is done! The events before the Flood & seeing the story from that perspective were good.😄

But I didn’t like his “love” story. “I want you to k*ll me, if not I’ll k*ll you. Oh, my heart hurts when I think of you. If we fall in love, maybe I'll die. Let's do that."🤦🏻‍♀️

I finished Fin's story. It was perfect!💖👌(But too short.) He deserves all the happiness.🥺

I don't understand why he didn't have a route in the 1st version of the game. After 5 min of playing, I knew I wanted him.❤️

He’s Cyrus' soulmate, her other half who completes her perfectly.🥰 Fin x Cyrus is👌! It’s the most natural & perfect couple of this game.

I’ve done the Grand Ending yesterday. It was really good with all the changes needed to improve society.👌 Most villains finally get the fate they deserve, but I'm surprised Sachsen has a "good" ending.🤨

However I think this route lacks romance, but I'm glad all the guys know that Fin loves Cyrus and tell him to make a move!😁 Now that love is no longer a crime, Fin is popular and receives lots of marriage proposals, but he only wants Cyrus. I like to imagine he’ll tell her one day & they’ll finally be together…🥰

i just finished the story of pokemon scarlet.... bro that last chapter is no joke........ i’m in shambles....

it feels very conflicting though because on one hand i don’t think a pokemon game has made me feel this way since black/white and that is saying a LOT, black was one of my first pokemon games that i played during summer break as a 14 year old and it changed my life. altered the trajectory of my life if you will.

with previous more “recent” titles like sun/moon, oras, sword/shield, of course i got caught up in them and enjoyed them, but i didn’t get super emotionally attached to any characters. lillie is an exception but in comparison to what b/w made me feel, s/m was only like, 60% the way there, and sw/sh would be like 20% (as fun as the game was, it was over fast and i didn’t feel like i was savoring it as much). also i don’t knock on sw/sh for its length, as short as it is, pokemon chiefly is a kids’ video game and usually the bulk of the hours you put in is for completing the dex lol. but yeah, the writing in sw/sh didn’t feel that memorable nor did it have much emotional impact on me.

spoilers for scarvio below

with scarlet, aside from nemona (lol, but i do like her), the subplots for the rivals really tugged at my heartstrings... i didn’t really care for team star when i started their missions, after all i don’t care about getting LP or extra TMs when my team is already good, but as i continued with it i was like... ah... bonds of friendship is the true power... *tear running down my face*.

AND THEN ARVEN. HOO BOY.

i cannot believe game freak has managed to make me feel for a boy what i did for n. this is saying so much if you know me and how insane i can be about n. game freak said here is a boy you will react to in a way that parallels how you reacted to n a full 10 years ago. both the 🥰 and 😭 emotions. THE ABANDONMENT ISSUES... AND THEN HE’S DEDICATING HIMSELF TO HELPING HIS DOG RECOVER?????!!! i was specifically targeted...

i also lost my childhood dog at the beginning of 2022, who in a way mirrors what mabosstiff is to arven for me... my dog was the only one in the house i could feel understood and loved by while i dealt with childhood trauma. so you know of course that would do me in emotionally T_T

there is also the whole gap moe and kinda grumpy but sincere senpai but he’s relying on you thing that makes me *clenches fist* but that’s besides the point

i was already enjoying myself taking my time with the gyms, team star, titans, exploring everywhere to get pokeballs/items, trying to complete the pokedex, shiny hunting and what not, so the final chapter really took me by surprise since i didn’t fully know what to expect...? i already liked the main cast but i didn’t feel a deep connection to all of them as a group because the subplots are all standalone/focused on each individual character. i did see all my friends sobbing over the last chapter (censored for spoilers obv) but man... they were right... i was surprised by how in-depth the section was. i’d say if you don’t explore too much (which is what i did on foot regrettably, takes 10x longer) the chapter is maybe 3ish hours long? which isn’t super long, but the dialogue sprinkled in really fleshes out the characters and establishes a bond between them that feels incredibly real and believable, even in the context of just a pokemon game. that’s what really took me by surprise.

i’m gonna be honest for the majority of the chapter my mouth was just open and i was like

and that’s even WITH seeing vague spoilers/hints and some screenshots out of context. so i had some vague idea about what was going on but i was STILL surprised by the turn of events and how ... like... everything fit together in a very believable way. and another thing, with most pokemon games all stakes depend on you as the player for whatever plot there is (stopping team aqua/magma, saving the world, stopping some capitalist dude, etc.) but the stakes in scarvio felt so much higher. obviously you know you’re going to save the day etc. but in the midst of it i was like 😳 hello???? bruh?

i joked to a friend last week about this being game freak’s answer to botw (he hasn’t played scarvio) but i’m ngl this takes it beyond what botw did for me... botw’s magic lies in the beauty of its world and fucking around, and maybe some of the npcs (like, yeah, i did get very into the bits of lore and link characterization of it, i won’t downplay that) but i feel like the plot and characters in scarvio are just so... polished? of course the games are different and have different purposes. but it managed to make me experience a hint of the youthful wonder and hope i felt as a 14 year old playing emerald and b/w all day and night long during summer vacation again... it’s that essence that really stands out. IT’S THE FOUND FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE ESSENCE OF YOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINDING YOUR TREASURE/WHAT YOU CHERISH MOST IN LIFE AND HOLDING ON TO THAT AS YOU FACE THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but all this just makes me incredibly sad because you know this game was rushed to hell to meet a deadline. and that’s disrespectful to the amount of love and thought put into this game’s worldbuilding, characters, and story. they deserved the time needed to ship the game in its best form, not the buggy state it’s in. all the fantastic aspects of the game are marred by bugs, glitches, and the fact that the switch is constantly struggling to run the game--my game crashed at least two times, and i feel like that’s lower than others’ experiences (luckily i didn’t lose any significant progress both times, but the fear of the game crashing did hang over me anytime i ran around or even talked to the pokemon center person 😭). even the credits lagged for me and i was like ... this doesn’t ruin the immersion but i’m smiling wryly to myself rn.

i 100% don’t regret buying and playing the game but i do wish i’d been able to buy and play the game in better circumstances... i was vehemently in the “i refuse to buy it right now in the state it’s in and contribute to the message to the pokemon company that this speed of putting out subpar quality games for faster buck is ok” but i caved because i saw my friend playing it (she caved because her boyfriend got it). 😔

anyways expect arven fanart eventually lol

[swanimagines]

Hey :) I wanted to send something for the spamming event ^-^ first tho: I totally understand you asking for feedback, but I'd prefer to reblog on my fanfic blog, not this one. but in the reblog I'll make it clear I was the requester ;)

So... I was thinking since you write for queen's gambit and like Benny watts... A oneshot or headcanon for a reader who also is really good at chess, but doesn't like tournaments and even though she's friends (and secretly totally in love with Benny who sort of feels the same) with Benny, refuses to play him. Until one day he convinces her to play against him and she wins (even though he was really trying to beat her) and he's really impressed.

If this is too detailed, feel free to strip it down to a level you feel comfortable with!

Fandom: The Queen's Gambit

Summary: Y/N is friends and secretly in love with Benny Watts, the former USA champion in chess, but knows that she probably doesn’t have any chances for him. Benny gets to know about Y/N’s chess playing skills by accident, and that spices things up a bit.

Pairing: Benny Watts x fem!reader

Characters: Benny Watts, Y/N (female, she/her), Beth Harmon (mentioned)

A/N: I still can't look at him without laughing- I'm sorry but that moustache is horrible.

Alsoooo I'm so excited to finally publish this since you're an awesome writer yourself and and and!! These three requests you sent during my spamming event are all awesome ideas and I can't wait to get my hands on the next 2! So I hope you like this 🥰 And yeah ofc, I understand you want to keep fanfics apart from your "regular" blog, and that's what side blogs are for! To post/reblog stuff that doesn't fit to your main blog. As long as you do reblog or at least reply as the requester, it's all good and I won't scowl at you next time around 😂 But with you, I already know you'll reblog/give feedback and don't just like. There has been an awful amount of people who only like their requested fics and I'm always frustrated when that happens. But well, I won't do their request next time then unless they show their appreciation.

Warnings: the title sounds like a horror movie, and still trying to learn to write for everyone again

Word count: 1.3k

LET'S PLAY

The air at the tournament hall was full of tension as two players were competing against each other - one was the former USA champion, and the other was a promising new chess player around. They weren't really competing about anything serious, the newbie was just curious to see if Benny Watts was really so skilled as they claimed he was.

You were sitting near their table, biting into your knuckles as you watched them play. Benny winning should have been obvious, but this newbie was way smarter than anyone thought he would be. The guy had some skill after all. But eventually, he made a major mistake which made Benny an opportunity to force his Queen to move back from checkmate range, putting her under threat again soon afterwards.

The young man groaned when it happened, staring angrily at Benny who looked over at him and smirked. "Looks like I won."

The gathering around the table started to walk away from the scene, some telling the newbie that he's got a promising career in front of him, but he just shrugged them all off, marching away from the scene.

You walked up to Benny, raising your eyebrows at the newbie. "Sore loser, that one." you mumbled under your breath before glancing at Benny curiously. "Did he really struggle his way so far along the game?"

Benny chuckled. "To be honest, I let him think so. You saw how he reacted to losing after thinking he would win, imagine how it would have been if I had taken the first chance when he made his first mistake?"

"He probably would have lashed out even worse." you agreed and sighed as Benny stood up from his chair.

"Care to join me for a drink?" he asked, adjusting his coat and you smiled as you nodded happily.

It was always nice to spend time with Benny, he had been your friend since you had been little kids, and occasionally you joined him as he traveled around USA or Canada attending chess tournaments. It was nice sitting with him for hours in his car, listening to radio and talking about everything, staying in motels to sleep.

There was one problem though. You were neck deep in love with Benny, and spending so much time with him didn't exactly help it. It was intoxicating and you always felt like walking on clouds when he looked at you. And when you slept, you couldn't help but dream how it would be if one day, he would pull you aside after he won a tournament and just... tell you that he had loved you ever since he met you and that he would like you to ask to be his girlfriend.

You knew that would never happen, he probably saw you as a sister or something, but still, you kept those thoughts alive in your head because they made you happy. Sometimes you thought you saw something flash in his eyes when he looked at you - could he possibly see your feelings? Could he have fallen for you too? But you always shook the wishful thinking away, reminding yourself that it happening was highly unlikely.

Growing up with him had taught you a thing or two in chess too, but you never wanted to play against him despite his many attempts to convince you. Maybe you were scared of being humiliated by him, him laughing at you, others laughing at you for losing, or just fearing he'd wordlessly be disappointed on how bad you are in playing against him. You knew he would never humiliate you or laugh at you and would glare badly at anyone who would, but your brains always liked to bully you with that imagery. Or maybe there was a chance of you winning, and your face would be all over newspapers for being unknown, never competed in tournaments and defeating a former USA champion.

"An unknown girl defeated the former USA champion Benny Watts", it didn't sound very tempting either.

You left the tournament after another couple of hours, and maybe you were feeling crazy today, when you and Benny had settled down in another motel a few hours earlier than you had originally planned, and Benny had asked you if you would want to try and play.

"We played last time when we were kids, and I've seen you play with everyone else. I know you're scared of having an audience, but there are no spectators here, curtains are drawn, you have nothing to be afraid of." he said, and you sighed.

"Okay. One time, but you won't laugh when I lose this one," you agreed, giving into his request as you sat down at the small table, watching as Benny spread the board out.

Benny frowned at your words. "I wouldn't laugh at you. What are you talking about?"

"I just... never mind. Let's just play." you mumbled, your cheeks heating up from embarrassment as Benny looked at you. "I can take the black side."

"Fine with me." he nodded, placing his white pawns on the board. You set up yours, and leaned back, looking at the chess clock. "Ready?"

"Yes." You muttered and Benny made the first move, moving one of his knights. You looked around the board for a moment, before moving your own pawn.

---

It hadn't even been half an hour before you had trapped him in a stalemate situation, forcing him to concede defeat to you, his queen falling over.

"Wait, really?" you frowned and then looked at him, your frown disappearing as you sighed. "You made yourself lose on purpose so I wouldn't feel bad, didn't you?"

He raised his eyebrows, shaking his head and chuckling. "No, I didn't. I went easy on you at first, but then actually played my hardest when you had tricked me to give up my rook."

Your frown returned, staring at the board. "Did I actually win? I thought you're gonna pull out some trick again."

Benny shook his head slowly, leaning forward with a smile. "You won. And I gotta say, I'm impressed."

You sat there in silence for a moment more, before he cleared his throat. "I'll buy you dinner, alright? We didn't get to eat today after that little sandwich at the reception today."

You grinned at him, nodding happily as he stood up from his seat, reaching out and offering his arm to you as you got off your chair. You took it, hooking your arm through his, feeling like a couple for a moment, and the old lady at the reception desk praising your "young love" definitely made your cheeks burn even hotter, and when you glanced at Benny, you saw he was slightly red too.

So the rest of the night went by your dreams about dating Benny someday intesifying as you ate and Benny told you that he always enjoys spending time with you and is grateful that you joined him in tournaments, briefly laying his hand on top of yours on the table.

Maybe one day, one day soon, you would actually be real couple. This day felt like it somehow made you closer, and all because you finally agreed to play one game of chess against him. It had been a silly fear of feeling humiliated, being laughed at and people knowing what you did not have talent in, which would never happen even if you had lost within three moves.

Night fell slowly, briefly dyeing the sky orange and yellow, and then stars began to peek out in the clear blackness above. And for you, that was the most beautiful night in a long while.

[thekindwolf99]

Okay so I just finished watching the season 4 final of the Marvelous Mrs Maisel so spoilers ahead for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet 😊

So I am emotionally wrecked after this, like completely stunned and I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing.

First thing is more of an aside so yeah um Midge performing for Jackie Kennedy terrific really brilliant. It was a very funny bit. However, my only criticism is this - she is told not to do any jokes about sex, Midge agreed not to do it. Okay yes fair the ladies asked for her to do it and she couldn’t have known about JFK’s affair, but she still shouldn’t have done it. Maybe it was decision to include it due to dramatic irony, the audience knows that Midge is going to screw this up by talking about her afternoon with the park guy in-front of Jackie but hey. Yeah that wasn’t a good bit.

Another aside Moishe’s heart attack and the impact that it had on the other characters was amazing and very well played and it gave another level to Moishe & Abe’s friendship

Right on to my first main part,

OMG, LENNY GROVELLING TO MIDGE AT THE CLUB, LIKE I WAS CLOSE TO TEARS I WAS JUST LIKE MIDGE FORGIVE THE MAN, LOOK AT HIM & BEFORE THEY CAN PROPERLY DISCUSS IT, THERE IS THE CHAOS OF THE RAID AND LENNY SHOUTING FOR MIDGE AND TRYING TO ESCAPE. 

So that was a rush and thrilling and he called her honey, and they were very sweet with each other 😊

Then we move on to the main event 🥰 every shippers dream since season 1 and thank good for this site, because I had anxiety over deciding whether to watch this or not and this place set me straight. It was teasing and lovely but serious at the same time: they didn’t want to push it and risk it falling apart and losing each other. Honestly I’ve never been so happy 😇

However then it starts to go down hill - Midge discovering Lenny’s bag and her suspicious look (there obviously is a historical context to that). Then there is the refusal of the gig that Lenny, dear sweet Lenny set up her and she just rejects it! To be honest Suzie has a right to be angry with midge over this and I completely agree with it, you don’t reject things like that.

Then the final the most heartbreaking moment of all - Lenny seeing midge after the show, obviously at first he’s ecstatic to see her. However it quickly changes, they are on stage and he is telling Midge that she needs to change, really soon otherwise she’s going to break his heart 😭💔💔.

I had really hoped that they had the fight at Carnegie Hall then they make up, but nope 😫

As a side note LUKE KIRBY BETTER RECEIVE LIKE AN EMMY FOR HIS PERFORMANCE IT WAS OUTSTANDING 🥰

Anyway, yes we got our sought after OTP moment between our favourite people however, I am very, very worried after the fight and the last scene with Midge standing outside that theatre at Gordon Ford. Was the moment between them just fan service and now after their fight our hopes for them being together as a couple are now over?

What does this mean for season 5? When will we get to see it? Is there enough fan fiction and YouTube videos and edits to help get us through this pain? I sure hope so 😭

Please feel free to comment and share what you guys thought 🥰

[greymouse42]

For the FE3H question list:)

4,5,6,9,14,15,38,40,41

If that's too many you don't haveta do them all just the ones that interest you the most.

Thank you for all the questions!! I had a lot of fun! 🥰 Answers are beneath the readmore!

4. ✨ Which route did you play through first in FE3H?

Golden Deer!! Fear the Deer!! (FE3H was the first fire emblem I really got into, fandom-wise, since Shadow Dragon)

5. ✨ Which route did you play through last?

Azure Moon orz

I still technically haven't played that one, I've just watched my partner play it... But Azure Gleam in 3Hopes was my favorite route, so I kinda wanna go back and play AM on my own now...

6. ✨ Which route is your favorite?

Toss-up between GD, which I am sentimental about and I think has the best standalone no-additional-context-needed story, and SS, which lets me side with the cool dragon people and I thought was a really fun/interesting narrative foil to BE (also... Seteth fulfilling the role of lord retainer... I am a simple person)

9. ✨ What is your favorite scene in the game (can be in the main story or a support convo)?

It's not very interesting but Chapter 6 and Chapter 9 were my favorites. I didn't know enough to expect that Jeralt's days were numbered so when he died, and when we got to see this unemotional/silent protagonist actually grieving him, I just got really invested.

Also, re: chapter 6, Seteth is A Wreck and I like that in a man. I also really like the white dragon scarf event and I like that the events in that chapter only become more insidious the more context you have.

14. ✨ If you’ve posted your own fanart or fanfic, post a link to the piece you are most proud of.

Oddly, it's this one!! (Setleth Rhondos Coast retelling, with some added emotions) I just think it holds up really well!!

15. ✨ If you are an artist or writer, are you currently working on any new FE3H content (art or fanfic)?  If so, will you share a sneak preview?

I've had horrible writer's block lately... 🥺👉👈 But I do have this silly idea that just boils down to "Rhea knows Seteth is sleeping with someone and is giving him shit for it" that I come back to whenever I want to laugh. Here's a snippet:

I just love Rhea when she's allowed to be a little obnoxious...

38. ✨ Who is your favorite teatime companion?

Seteth... obviously. 😅 I just like how multifaceted he and Rhea turn out to be, and his teatime lines are just really... sweet. I also unironically love inviting Hubert to tea heheh, he's so dramatic I love him.

40. ✨ What character do you always recruit, no matter which route you are playing and why?

Seteth is an auto-recruit sooo... Lorenz and Ferdinand!! Look, I KNOW Lorenz is a disaster but I love his character development no matter what route he's on, and I like making him a dark knight. Ferdinand I recruit mostly to be a good influence on Lorenz, and also because I think he's such a strong personality that he adds narrative interest no matter what route you're doing (he's either throwing everything he has into helping the Empire or he's throwing everything he has into opposing it, and I think both sides are interesting).

41. ✨ What is a favorite character headcanon (can be one you came up with or one you liked / adopted from someone else)?

With regards to the extra lore we got in Hopes, I like the idea that all the Nabateans' hair used to be lighter/blonder when they were in close proximity to the Goddess. I would kill for more art/writing 👏 exploring 👏 that!

I also headcanon a religious schism between Rhea & Seteth where she is of the belief that the Goddess isn't dead and could possibly return at any moment, and he (at least up until the events of the game) thinks that the Goddess is definitely dead and gone. It's subtle, but it adds some extra interest for me.

I ALSO really like that one crack theory I've seen floating around that Kronya and Ferdinand are somehow related. What this means for the story, I have no idea, I just think it's neat :)

homeland ~ Rayleigh x gn!reader

I just hope you will enjoy it😞

The turkey got burned.

The turkey got burned.

You look at it, horrified. What have you done, oh no?

It is late afternoon, and you are preparing a surprise party for Christmas Eve. You want to make everything perfect and fancy, for not only it is such a holy night, but also the night when you first met the love of your life – Rayleigh. However, now you aren't sure if you could make it on time, and that is all thanks to the burning turkey. You must have set the wrong timer, a trivial mistake you never made; perhaps works and deadlines had drained you and messed things up. Tears are burning in the eyes as you throw yourself into the nearby chair, burying your face in the palm of your hand. What are you going to do now? What is Rayleigh going to say?

Thinking about Rayleigh, the memory floods back to you all of a sudden. Outside, the sun slowly disappears under the horizon, and darkness begins to pour in from the window, coloring the kitchen in the pale black of a winter eventide.

The night that two of you met is also a messed-up night like this...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a snow-free night, a little unusual compared to other Christmas Eve. Nonetheless, you wished it could have snowed a little bit, so you could feel like the main character in the novel, running away from your problems at nightfall, with snowflakes falling on you, dried away the tears streaming down your face. But of course, life was never going the way you want, you thought bitterly to yourself as you sat on the bench in the park, staring blankly at the gray night sky above. The moonlight shone dimly through the foliage, and from afar, you could hear people cheering and celebrating Christmas. As if you were the only one left in the world at that moment, left alone in your sorrow and dismal. The idea made you shiver a bit.

Lots of things had happened. Mostly family stuff. Because apparently, the one who was closest to you was also the one who hurt you the most. Your family thought they were thinking for your sake, yet never put themselves in your shoes and ended up breaking your very heart under the name of love. That was why Christmas Eve had never been a comfortable event for you, even though you did love them lots. You did! But this year, being overwhelmed by the sadness within your heart (it kept growing bigger and bigger), you chose to run away. No one would ever find you here; you knew that. However, there was something in you that still wanted to be found.

To be seen, and to be listened to.

"Oooooooh, whatcha have here. A lost lamb, huhhhhh?" A slurred voice came from the right made you jolt. You turned around to two fat and drunken men staggering toward you, vulgar smiles drew on their faces, and through those murky looks, you knew right away that they didn't mean any good intention.

"Easy man, don't yer see they are lonely now yer jerk. Don't scare 'em. We gotta be gentleeee!" another man giggled at his friend. His watch drifted over your body lustfully.

You stood right up in defense.

"Get lost!" You hissed, eyeing them with a stern and warning gaze.

The two men seemed pissed off with your behavior. Their faces turned red, which - you noted - just made them uglier and more hateable, and they changed their tone immediately.

"Look at 'em, Allen. We're tryin' to be nice, and look how they treat us." The first guy snorted; fury danced in his bleary eyes.

"I know, Bob. We have to punish them and teach them manners," Allen replied his friend, and both of them approached you menacingly.

Panicking, you could feel the heart pound like crazy in your chest, and cold sweat started to perspire on your palms. You tried to shout but desperately realized how shaky your voice was.

"S-stay back! Or I'll yell. My b-boyfriend is coming, and he will kill both of you. Stay back!"

"Yer little liar," Bob smirked, reaching his hand out to grab yours, making you scream in pain and disgust, "Yer know no one will come for yer."

His words were like a sharp knife stabbing your open wound. For a moment, you thought you were going to collapse and give in when suddenly, a cold yet reliable voice spoke up from behind you.

"What do you think you are doing to my lover, cruds?"

You turned around, and for a split second, your heart calmed, knowing that you would be safe now, seeing a man standing still in the dim moonlight. You didn't know who he was, but somehow you felt like crying, and your soul sobbed as if it had found something long lost.

The new man appeared to be middle-aged, with silver hair flowing over his shoulders and slight wrinkles in his tanned skin. He had a long scar over his right eye, but you didn't find that scary; on the contrary, it just made him more unusually attractive.

"Who are yer?" Allen shouted angrily, thinking how everything was going well before getting interrupted by a stranger.

"Haven't I had stated it already?" The man said sarcastically, "They are my lover. Now get your filthy hand off of them before I get angry."

Allen and Bob couldn't explain the sudden shiver running through their spine when they heard the man's voice, and Bod unconsciously let go of you as his hand started to tremble nonstop. You took no time rushing toward the silver-haired man and dissembling yourself behind him, clutching his silver robe as if it was a lifebuoy.

"Fuck!" The two men were filled with rage. They wanted to catch you back, but the stranger's gaze somehow pinned them in place, making them unable to move. Cold sweat began to trickle down their backs, and they got goosebumps at the invisible pressure in front of them.

"Leave now." The silver-haired man pressed each word softly, but to them, it was like thunder. Scared, they turned and ran for their lives.

You watched in awe as those bad guys ran far away. They stood no chance before this man, even though he hadn't even done anything. It must be the strange aura around him, an intimidated and dangerous feeling that could scare anyone out. However, you felt absolutely at peace next to him, which was strange because you just met him not long ago.

"Thank you." You said shyly, releasing your hand from his robe as if you had only realized how close you two were just now.

"It's my pleasure." The man smiled gently at you, making your heart skip a beat or two. You could feel the heat start rising on your cheeks, so you had to look down to hide the blush, pretending like you just found your shoes very entertaining.

"You shouldn't be outside this late." Your savior continued, "Don't you have any Christmas party to join? People are celebrating out there. I must have passed a dozen feasts and parties on my way here."

Your heart sank again, finally remembered how you were here in the first place. You pursed your lips, trying hard not to cry because somehow, that soft voice of his had made the wall around your heart melt. He was just a stranger - you reminded yourself.

The man seemed to realize the blue in your expression. Hesitating for a heartbeat, he gently pated your head as if he was comforting a sulky child.

"I'm sorry," He whispered, "You don't have to say if you don't want to. But it is dangerous staying out at this hour. I can walk you home if you want."

And that was when you broke down. Maybe his little gesture finally had pulled the last barrier in your soul, or maybe, the fact he was a stranger made it easier to open up. Tears started streaming down your face like never-ending waterfalls.

"I-I don't want to go home. A-and I don't have any p-party to join because my friends have forgotten me. I-I have no place to go."

The silver-haired took aback by your sudden emotion, but it was just for a second. He knew what to do right away, pulling you into a kind hug and patting your head gently.

"There, there."

He has the smell of the earth, and fresh breezes at the sea, you thought when you quietly took in his scent, resting your head against the chest of a stranger at night out of nowhere. And mixed with that scent was the faint smell of boozes, which made you a bit dizzy, as if you had drunken in it. His arms around your shoulder felt warm as ever; you've never felt this warmness for a long time.

The two of you stood like that as time passed. You didn't know how long it was. You just kept crying, crying as if something had unlocked inside of you. You cried away all the sadness, all the anger that accumulated in your heart, while the man just stayed silently hugging you, gently brushing your hair, or rubbing your back every time you hiccup from sobbing too much. Oh, how gentle, how peaceful. You finally feel like you've been heard and seen. Like you have been found.

After a while, you finally could stop yourself from bawling your eyes out. Clumsily, you pulled away from his embrace; your eyes were red from crying too much, and you were pretty sure that you looked like a mess right now.

"I'm s-sorry." You stammered, trying not to look him in the eyes.

"It's all good." He said, didn't mind at all, even though you could see a large patch of his robe was soaked in water, which made you even more embarrassed.

There was a moment of silence before the man suddenly spoke up, and you were too surprised to say anything.

"You said you don't have anywhere to go. Why not come to my place tonight? I can't promise a big party, but I do have some good stuff."

Your eyes widened, and your jaw dropped. Normally, you would never agree with that kind of invitation, especially from a stranger who you had just met for not long. But tonight was Christmas Eve, the night of magic and hope. Therefore, you found yourself replied.

"What kind of good stuff?"

A small grin appeared on his face.

"Booze and bread. How does that sound?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You chuckle to yourself as you recall the memory. Booze and bread? Seriously? That's not a typical combination you would expect for a Christmas party! However, you still agreed to come to his place that night and had ended up living here ever since. Rayleigh has turned from a stranger to a good friend. Then, to a lover, and now, to your whole world. Oh, Christmas Eve really is a magical night, isn't it? Everything good happens on this holy night.

Or not, you think, looking back at your burning turkey, sighing dramatically. Remembering the past soothes your heart a bit (in other words, the thought of Rayleigh calms you down), and now you are calm enough to think of another backup option for tonight. But you don't have the chance to do anything as now Rayleigh's voice is already coming from the front door. Hurry, you run out of the kitchen to stop him in the hallway.

"The dinner is not ready yet!" You say quickly, and Rayleigh raises an eyebrow slightly at your haste.

He still hasn't changed a bit since that night, even though years have passed. Just like fine wine, this man just gets better with age.

"What happened, y/n?" His voice is still as gentle as ever and still gives you those butterflies just like day one.

"I-I burn the turkey." You admit, face burning red, "I'm sorry, I mess things up."

To your surprise, Rayleigh just let out a small "oh" with a mysterious smile.

"W-what? You don't get...mad? We have nothing to eat tonight."

Rayleigh hums, grabbing your hand and pulling you close to a warm embrace.

"It's alright, darling. Luckily, I have bought something on my way back home."

"Oh?"

"Yes. It's our traditional meal for Christmas. Can you guess what it is?"

You burst into laughter, and Rayleigh takes in how beautiful and sparkling it is.

"Don't you mean booze and bread?" You ask, still tittering.

"You like it?" He grins.

You sigh, ah, yes, it's such a silly option for Christmas; however, you still love it unconditionally. Just as much you love the man in front, even the silliest thing seems romantic with him.

"Yes. I like it. Thank you." You whisper, cupping his face to pull him into a kiss. And the moment your lips meet each other, you realize that, no, there's something that has changed.

It is his redolence. Now, Rayleigh's scent is just like...family, and when you two kiss, it makes you feel at peace, and at home. He is your homeland. When you are with him, you know you'll never be alone again.

"Welcome home, baby. I love you."

"I'm busy love" Smoker mumbled seeing you seeking his attention, his sight not leaving the report he was reading sitting at his office's desk in the marine base. It was such a tiresome day because of all the paperwork he had to take care of and new bounties on some kind of vapid pirates he believed they didn't even deserve a bounty on their head.

It wasn't his intention to be rude to you, but today he didn't have time for his partner at all, so busy that he didn't even kiss you yet that day. How much time would have taken him for a little smooching?

A loud sigh escaped your mouth seeing him not going to dedicate you a minute of his time, your eyes rolled back in a bit of disappointment, but your face almost instantly frowned looking at your man swamped with work. He needed a pause for sure but he wasn't going to let himself have one until he finished taking care of the papers.

You stood there sitting in front of the desk, refusing to leave his side and waiting patiently for him to finish all the work, even though he encouraged you to go home and wait for him there. It was getting late, 8 p.m., and Smoker's head was still down on the reports, you lost count of how many cigars he smoked that afternoon because of how stressed he was (more than the usual amount he smokes, and it's a lot).

At last, Smoker stood up from his chair and stretched his arms, the look on his face was clearly showing his exhaustion, staying in the office wasn't his favourite part of that job as a Vice Admiral for sure. He saw you sitting down with your forehead on his desk, your eyes closed resting a bit while waiting but not sleeping at all.

He passed by without saying a word seeing you there waiting for him. Not only he felt tired, but also a bit of a failure for not giving you even a little bit of attention that day, while, on the contrary, you stayed there with him just to keep him company during his shift. He didn't dare to come to you for a kiss (even if he needed it so badly) just because he was thinking all those things inside his head.

As he was going to the bathroom letting you rest on his desk, he felt your hand grabbing the sleeve of his jacket to stop him. He turned around to face you and saw you, unexpectedly, smiling. You weren't mad at him at all, knowing how excruciating his work might be at times, keeping him company even without saying a word and staying in the same room as his, made you feel relaxed thanks to his presence.

You stood up from that uncomfortable woody chair and walked toward him. "Come here…" a little whisper escaped your lips before taking off his cigars still hanging from his mouth. You stood on your tip toes and leaned to kiss him on his lips, the height gap of yours still too big for you to kiss him without Smoker leaning down to you.

Smoker smiled subtly, that cute way of yours to kiss him made him giggle inside every single time and he wasn't tired of it even if it was just a simple kiss. He lifted your chin a bit and, leaning down to you, placed his lips on yours in a tender kiss, you could feel a smile forming on his face as his mouth met yours.

Smoker's arms wrapped around your waist pulling you closer and making you feel his body against yours after all those hours of waiting, not giving a sign of letting you go soon. "Smoker… next time don't make me wait this much for a simple kiss, okay?" you asked smiling after breaking the kiss.

"Don't worry love, I'm not planning to leave your lips soon tonight".

It was a hot summer evening, and the temperature becoming slowly higher late in the season didn't let you wear anything but panties and a light t-shirt while walking around the house. Since you moved in together, you and Smoker were accustomed to seeing each other only in underwear, especially now that July was progressively getting warmer.

You were laying on your stomach on the king-size bed reading one of those spicy books you loved so much, swinging your feet a bit as the smuttiest part hit, making your stomach flutter in excitement. Smoker walked into the room and saw you busy with your special reading, a grin forming on his lips noticing what you were reading, spotting how turned on you felt by your body language.

"May I?" he asked, and, without waiting for your response, he stole the book from your hands and started reading the paragraph you were currently on. "Hey!" you exclaimed a bit blushing at the thought of him peeking at what you were reading. The grin on his face became bigger as he finished the last section of that page, he slowly put the book on the nightstand and leaned closer to your ear whispering, his deep voice was sweet as honey and sent shivers deep down your spine.

"I bet you want me to try those naughty kinks of your book on you, don't you?". He knew you so well, Smoker didn't need an answer to his question, he could read your body so well, looking at your thighs starting to rub together to get some friction as the excitement built inside of you.

"I'll take that as a yes..." he bit your neck leaving sweet bite marks on it, his hands sliding under your panties and grabbing your butt as he was almost laying on top of you. In a matter of seconds, those panties were on the floor. Smoker started massaging your thighs, understanding how you felt the urge of rubbing them together, his hands squeezing your soft flesh making him go hard almost instantly.

God, he loved those thighs of yours, the way he could caress them and split apart to spread you for him before thrusting deep inside your wet cunt. The way you mewled at his touch on that soft part of yours, knowing well how it would end every time he caressed you there.

As you were laying on your stomach having him above you, Smoker started rubbing your tights with his already hard cock, his tip teasing your entrance as he was still kneading that favourite part of yours and spreading your tights to give himself space to thrust inside of you.

Smoker leaned a bit down, his chest touching your back as his lips were near your ear. "Love… I want to fill you up…" he whispered. "As always" you said chuckling, but he laughed hearing you answer that way. "No, I want more… I want to breed you… I want to fill your pussy with my cum and give you my babies…" you could feel his hot breath against the side of your neck, your heart pounding hard and fast in your chest at his words.

The idea of him getting you pregnant came into your mind a lot of times before this but you never dared to tell him. But now he was the one asking you that and just the mere thought of him coming deep inside of you to give you his babies made your heart shamble. His voice sounded so desperate that it was clear to you that he had a breeding kink dormant inside of him that he had hidden until now.

Your thighs rubbed against one against the other again. "Please my love… breed me". Hearing those words of yours, Smoker lost his rationality completely, his thick cock stretched your cunt so sweetly that you couldn't contain those moans of yours he loved so much. His thrusts were deep and slow yet so intense to make your mind and body feel dizzy and lost in pleasure.

That night he didn't let you leave the bed, he kept you pinned against the mattress face down as he pumped himself inside of you fulfilling his and yours desires. How sweet were the words he reserved for you during that moment, praising and telling you how good you were at letting him breed you. His chest was pressed against your back, thrusting until his release filled you up to the brim, sweaty bodies merging into one in that moment of pure bliss.

He did not pull out after cumming, keeping his seed inside your cunt and not having any intention to let it spill out. "You make my life worth living. I'm so happy that you want to have my babies" he whispered as you two lay there, knowing that there would have been lots of other love-making sessions after that one to be sure he'll get you pregnant.

Character: Shinsou x reader

Status: Not Proofread

Reader: fem // likes cherry pie // nothing else specified

Type: Oneshot // Fluff

Warnings: none, it’s literally just pure fluff. Maybe ooc Shinsou….and bad writing.

A/n: 1. I’ve never even tried cherry pie 😳🙈 and 2. Ikik, I have other requests (that I am completing I promise you all) but Shinsou and my fav Owl City lyric?!?! Too tempting to put away!

You sat on the sofa of your and Shinsou’s shared apartment and admired the sunrise. It was even more beautiful through the large window that looked out upon the huge cityscape. The pink, yellow, and light blue colors coming into the room and making it brighter and more friendly.

It was a Saturday morning that you intended to cherish. You and Shinsou had pulled an all nighter last night and it was quite fun. You two watched movies, played uno, scrolled through TikTok. The best part though, was seeing the sunrise after it was all over. Well, more specifically getting to see the sunrise with him.

It was early December, so the air was chilly outdoors, but inside your apartment is was cozy and warm. The smell of freshly baked cherry pie filled the air and you felt your stomach grumble. You set the thick fuzzy blanket you had been using aside and got up, heading to the kitchen.

Anytime you and Shinsou pulled all nighters you two always made a cherry pie. It was a little tradition the two of you shared. Even though most of the work was done by him, you still helped by measuring out ingredients here and there and keeping track of the time.

You walked into the kitchen, the strong smell of freshly baked goods hitting you. You saw Shinsou, taking off his oven mitts, the pie on the counter that you assumed had just been taken out of the oven.

“It smells really good. I wonder who could’ve made such a wonderful pie?” You teased, walking over to stand beside him.

“Hm, I don’t know. If I remember right…it was me and another important person.” He said, a fake sense of questioning in his voice.

“Someone else? I wonder who that could be.” You replied, fake astonishment filling your voice

“From what I remember, it was my girlfriend who helped me.” He said, sounding as if he had just had an aha moment.

“Oh really. Your girlfriend?” You questioned.

“Yup. She’s definitely a unique soul.” He admitted, smiling to himself

“Why do you say that?” You asked. You where curious to hear what he was going to say about you.

“Well, for a whole 15 minutes she had smeared cherry on her cheek and didn’t even realize it.” He said, reminding you of just a few hours ago when that had happened and he had laughed at you and you where so confused as to why until he told you.

“She sounds like a one of a kind.” You agreed.

“It was cute though, because she looked all embarrassed afterwards.” He continued telling the story.

“Cute you say?” You question, a smirk forming on your face.

“She (nearly) gave me a heart attack, just because she looked so adorable.” He laughed lightly, looking at you with his purple eyes.

“Oh, so my adorableness nearly sent you to the emergency room.” You teased, breaking the line of conversation you two had.

“Your still a complete idiot, but yes, yes you did.” He replied to your comment

“So, are we gonna eat this pie, or just stand here all day?” You asked, going over to the silverware drawer to pull out two forks.

“I’d say we eat it and watch the sunrise on the couch.” He proposed

“That sounds lovely.” You agree

So, you two took the dish that had the pie in it over to the sofa and sat down. You grabbed the fuzzy blanket you had previously thrown aside and curled up next to him. Held the tray as you took your fork and scooped a piece of pie out to eat. He did the same, and you two set there in silence for a minute just enjoying the wonderful baked good.

“Toshi?” You asked

“Yes dear.” He said, a moth full of pie

“We should do this more often.” You propose

“I completely agree.” He said, leaning over to give you a kiss on the cheek.

You are so loved! <3

Have a wonderful day/night!
