Tkdb characters comforting you after finding you having a mental breakdown

‎‧₊˚✿Masterlist✿˚₊��

♦ I've been writing a bullet-point HC style a lot recently so I decided to switch it up ^^ Reader and the character are written as friends, but can be read as dating (or more ;))... [Apologies for the differences in length, but some scenarios just came out that way U.U]♦

Characters: Alan, Sho, Haru, Haku, Jiro, Professor Dante, + a bonus secret character :D

    ⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆

Alan quietly enters your room to see you angrily pacing back and forth, dodging some flying object by mere inches you angrily threw without a care for where it would hit and land.

"Hey, everything okay?"

You head snaps in his direction. Angry stare ready to scorch your intruder not softening even after realizing it was just Alan. Normally you might be able to snap out of your on edge state, but not right now.

"Everything okay? You wanna know what's not okay? I'll tell you... Every. Fucking. Thing!" you spit into his face, getting so up close you can smell the sweat mixed with motor oil that seems to follow Alan everywhere.

If it were any other Vagastrom student, they'd be already thrown across the room, but in your case, Alan is even too stunned to consider that an option. This is the first time Alan sees you ready to set stuff ablaze with your sight alone. He's sure that if your stigma were related to fire, the whole dorm would be on fire.

"Hey now..." Alan finally says something after a few seconds of returning your intense eye-contact.

You don't answer and instead turn on your heel and kick something out of your way as you stomp to sit on your bed.

Only now does Alan have the chance to look around. The walls are dented more than they were before, there's pages torn from a notebook scattered all over the floor and all your stuff is a complete mess, indicating that your rampage has been going on for a quite long time.

A shaky breath coming from your slumped form draws his attention back to you. Are... Are you crying?

Alan is still unmoved from his position at the door. A weird feeling washes over him as he sees you bury your head in your hands and slide them up into your hair to pull on it. Your torso folds forward to dangle between your spread legs as you start to let out breathy sobs.

He's unsure of what to do. He's never been one to deal with emotions, let alone help someone else deal with them. A slight panic starts to take over him.

Then, as if his body moved on its own, Alan finds himself crossing the mess of a floor, stepping over anything scattered there, to sit next to you on your bed.

"Hey..." he tries to say as softly and compassionate as he's able to, but you either don't hear him or pay any attention to him.

"Hey." Alan says again, this time louder and tries to bring you back to reality by running his palm down your back.

You finally seem to snap out of the worst and your torso slightly rises for you to look at Alan from the side of your tear-filled eye.

"Hey, c'mon..." it comes out as another attempt from Alan to comfort you, but in reality he's begging for you to stop. Your crying makes something inside him feel bad, almost painful and he's begging you to stop crying so the unpleasant feeling goes away.

And you wish you could stop, but the tears just keep on coming and there's no stopping. You just shake your head and look back down on the floor, but you do try to control your sobs and reduce them to mere hiccups.

"I... S-something bothering you?" Alan is unsure how to talk to you without making your situation worse again. To him, it feels like most things he'd try to say will end up being the wrong choice.

Thankfully, you fully rise back up with a sigh and look at Alan with now fully red and puffy eyes, heavy with exhaustion.

"I'm just so fed up and tired with everything..." your voice is shaky and coarse like you've spent the better part of the past our angrily half screaming to yourself (which you did and Leo, being Leo, overheard it and sent Alan to investigate).

"Hey, I'm here... You can talk... or... not..." Alan trails off. In talking about feelings he's even more helpless than at consoling someone. So he just awkwardly puts his hand around you and pulls his closer to him so your sides are touching.

  ⋆˚✿˖°

"Hey Y/N, I got my R&R approved. You wanna go for a dri- huh?" Sho walks into your room without knocking, like he usually does, but immediately stops in his tracks once he doesn't see you any of your usual activities you'd normally do at this time. His eyes scan the room until they land on your curled up form in a corner of your room, whimpering.

"Woah... Y/N, you with me here?" he quickly makes his way towards you and falls to his knees right in front of you. From the state you're in, he's unable to tell what is actually wrong and the only way he can find out what, is by you telling him.

Your head pick up to reveal an empty stare, void of any spark of emotion, and Sho immediately understands.

"Hey now..." he pries your hands off your legs from clutching them close to your chest. His strong hands spread your legs apart to pull you into his lap and hold you against his chest, cradling you.

Reluctantly, you hands wrap around Sho's back, returning his close embrace as you hide your face in his neck. The smell of cologne and the food from his truck hits your nose and comforts you to some degree.

As his own hands roam over your back, Sho hums softly and nuzzles his head against yours. Originally, he wanted to go visit some new bike parts place since he finally managed to get approval to leave Darkwick, but now he's more than anything interested in making sure you're okay.

In his head he's already coming up with a list of stuff that you might wanna do to make you feel better from what he remembers you told him you liked. Thankfully Leo's R&R was approved too, so he won't barge in on the two of you. Sho or you wouldn't hear the end of it.

Everything is loud. So loud. Too loud!

The sound of animals in their pens. Ren watching some movie or playing one of his games and complaining about Haru. Someone's footsteps outside your door in the common room. The banging of pots and pans in the kitchen. And the there's that damn scratching of something against a piece of wood!

That sound is about to drive you crazy in your frantic, borderline panic attack state. There's a slight pounding in your head and your breath is quick as you pace around your room like and animal in a tiny cage.

Oh great... Now the footsteps are getting louder. Just what you need...

"What is it Peekaboo? Hm?... Oh!" you can hear Haru's voice from the other side of your door shortly followed by brisk knocks on your door.

"Kinda busy..." your response comes out as a low growl, similar to some of the anomalies in Jabberwock's care.

"Ah... But Y/N, Peekaboo is worried. He says you've been walking around like that for a while now. Don't your feet hurt?" with your eyes trained on the door now, you can see the handle move as Haru tries to open the door. Luckily you locked it while your hands were still able to not shake as much as they do right now.

You ignore Haru's worried question and growl to yourself instead. He's always so cheery, it annoys you to no end right now.

Your door flies open and stops you dead in your tracks. Of course, you should've known that locks won't stop Haru.

A flock of anomalous animals flood into your room through the now open door with Haru standing in them.

"Y/N!"he exclaims in dismay upon seeing the state you're in. All the animals are around you. Some are jumping up at you and some are biting your ankles as a sign of affection, all trying to cheer you up, able to feel the mood you're in.

"Boo..." Peekaboo silently chirps in, echoing Haru's tone of voice. If you were able to look closer, you'd be able to notice he's got tears in his eyes.

"Y/N! Are you okay?" as Haru approaches you, the animals around you scatter away from you, giving him more space to assess your state.

"I- I'on... S'-s'just... Guess... I j-just..." you struggle to formulate your thoughts. They're racing too fast to be able to catch just one of them.

"Hey, hey, hey, slow down Y/N. Just breathe..." Haru guides you to sit down of the ground and takes a deep breath with you.

"Focus on me and breathe, okay?" his voice is gentle, very different from his usual demeanor while trying to advertise capybus tours.

As Haru talks you down from your frantic state and helps you breathe your way through, the animals come and join you, some trying to calm you in their own way and some resorting to just taking a nap around you.

You've been working on your project for so long and now you're just going to ruin it with your tears. Great. Just another thing to make your mood worse. This project has been taking so much out of you, you don't even want to finish it.

"Mental health check!" Haku hums, peaking into your room. You've told him about your project and how much it's driving you insane, so he's been checking in on you the whole time.

After seeing you openly sobbing above your project you'd worked so hard on already, he's quick to slip into your room and move it away from you so you don't ruin it any further.

Before you're even aware of his presence over your tears, Haku is already picking you up and carrying you to your bed. After getting on it himself, he positions you in his lap, facing away from your desk, which would remind you of that mess that's been ruining your life for the past month or so.

"Aw, come on now... You're doing a great job. I'm really excited for it to be done and I know it'll be amazing just like everything else you've done." Haku tries to calm you down as one of his hands strokes your cheek.

"B-but i-it's not w-working... I-it sh-should, but isn't..." you sob and your upper body threatens to collapse onto Haku from the strength of them.

"Hey... Hey..." Haku brings his other hand to pick up your face and look at him, "It will work, you just need to take a break."

"N-no, it w-won't... I-i've bee working on it fo-for so long and it just won't... I'll just ha-have to cancel the-"

"No, please don't do that... I'll help you. We're all so looking for you to get it out there..." Haku tries to wipe the tears off your cheeks, but another ones are soon flowing down again.

You shake your head and start trying to turn around to look at you project again. Haku stops you and meekly smiles at you.

"Let me tell tell you what... We go out, have some ice-cream, hang out and maybe watch something in my room and then tomorrow I'll have a look at it and see what we can do... Okay?"

"Y/N, hello?" a tired voice calls out to you.

You don't have to turn around to be able to tell it's Jiro.

"Y/N, you were supposed to come in today for a checkup so Yuri sent me for you."

You're still unmoving, just laying on your bed, on your cover and staring at the blank wall in front of you.

"Y/N?" Jiro approaches your bed and touches your arm.

You're still dressed in your dorm uniform despite it being a good few hours since your classes ended and you were allowed to change.

Jiro's gloved hand sneaks up to your neck, his two fingers searching around for a pulse point.

"What are you doing?" you say with a flat voice, almost like you're not fully present, but you sadly are.

"Making sure you're alive. Your catatonia and lack of response worried me."

You don't even answer and only hum in acknowledgement.

Jiro sighs and sits on your bed, inspecting your state.

Despite being a medical student, his studies sometimes included a psychological aspects. Based on them, Jiro was able to determine that your state must've been caused by some severe distress, forcing your brain to shut down and fully detach from reality in order to cope.

Sadly, no treatment came to his mind, so Jiro just kicks off his shoes and lies down behind you and throws his arm around your waist.

Hopefully his closeness can make you feel better. If not, he'll have to call Yuri, but now he wants to try and be there for you alone.

Dante could swear he turned all the lights off in his private library, but apparently one of them was still on. It was always such a pain when he had to go back somewhere because of his disability.

With a sigh he opens the heavy door to find you surrounded by some of his books. You're frantically reading the contents of one of them and scribbling something on a paper next to it.

"Ah, Y/N. Isn't it rather late to be researching?"

Dante's sudden presence startles you and as you quickly move to face him, you accidentally knock over the book you were reading.

"Dante, sorry, you've startled me." you sheepishly admit, trying to hide how anxious you are.

"Tell me, what could possibly be so important at this hour, dear?" Dante is faster than you and pushes himself forward to pick up the fallen book.

You take a deep breath to seem like you have it all together, but you can't, "I couldn't sleep. My mind's just filled with all these horrible what-ifs and I couldn't stop them so I thought that maybe if I knew what to do, it would help."

"And what are these what-ifs about, Y/N?" Dante's expression softens.

"I don't know... Everything."

Dante sighs and starts pushing his wheelchair towards the sofa in the middle of the room, "Although I do believe that problems should be faced head on, perhaps you'd prefer if I read your favorite book to you as a distraction?"

"Tough day?" a smooth voice interrupts your thoughts as you absentmindedly pet one of the mail cats, staring off into a space.

"Yeah..."

"Now what could worry a pretty little head like yours?" the owner of the voice comes closer and sits down next to you on the bench.

Your eyes are glossed over with tears so the stranger next to you only looks like a dark-grey smudge.

"Do you know what helps me, while I'm feeling down?... There's this kid, Rui, and he has all of these amazing drinks that taste like alcohol but aren't..."

"I-i know..."

"Hey, maybe if you're down, we could go together right now since my shift's ended."

"Nah thanks..."

"Oh, it's Elias, sweetheart."

What is your single best piece of writing advice?

Ouch, starting 2024 out swinging there 😂

My best writing advice that is actually my own is:

Only Story

This is the phrase I keep saying to my writer friend to the point where I may get a tattoo of it some day, and the one that guides me home when I get lost.

Only Story is a way to focus my ADHD ass on what is important and keep writing.

Only Story means focus on storytelling. To me, at least, the narrative is the core. Humans are natural storytellers, it’s how we communicate. Style, language, writing skill and so on are important, but secondary. Don’t worry too much about it. Just tell your story and the rest will follow. You will get better at telling stories over time, and then you can eventually trust fall into it.

Only Story helps me pull back from obsessing over or endlessly adding irrelevant details. Strip away anything that doesn’t serve the story. This doesn’t mean that you can never add things unless they advance the plot or develop a character, but it helps to reduce clutter. By all means, add that superfluous side plot if you want to, but make it a conscious decision. 

Only Story is how I get back to writing whenever I start second-guessing myself and worry too much about whether I'm good enough, whether I can even call myself a writer, whether anyone will ever care. It helps me reaffirm my purpose - to tell the story. I don't write to get followers or likes, although feedback is always hugely appreciated, but I write because I have stories to tell.

Only Story also reminds me to keep writing, because that is the only way I'll become a better writer. Every time I write a story, I get better at writing a story. The story may not be perfect, but it will be a story. And so will the next one.

Go write it.

You said single, but I am all about handing out bonus content so you get this as well; Dan Harmon's take on writer's block from an AMA on Reddit.

My best advice about writer's block is: the reason you're having a hard time writing is because of a conflict between the GOAL of writing well and the FEAR of writing badly. By default, our instinct is to conquer the fear, but our feelings are much, much, less within our control than the goals we set, and since it's the conflict BETWEEN the two forces blocking you, if you simply change your goal from "writing well" to "writing badly," you will be a veritable fucking fountain of material, because guess what, man, we don't like to admit it, because we're raised to think lack of confidence is synonymous with paralysis, but, let's just be honest with ourselves and each other: we can only hope to be good writers. We can only ever hope and wish that will ever happen, that's a bird in the bush. The one in the hand is: we suck. We are terrified we suck, and that terror is oppressive and pervasive because we can VERY WELL see the possibility that we suck. We are well acquainted with it. We know how we suck like the backs of our shitty, untalented hands. We could write a fucking book on how bad a book would be if we just wrote one instead of sitting at a desk scratching our dumb heads trying to figure out how, by some miracle, the next thing we type is going to be brilliant. It isn't going to be brilliant. You stink. Prove it. It will go faster. And then, after you write something incredibly shitty in about six hours, it's no problem making it better in passes, because in addition to being absolutely untalented, you are also a mean, petty CRITIC. You know how you suck and you know how everything sucks and when you see something that sucks, you know exactly how to fix it, because you're an asshole. So that is my advice about getting unblocked. Switch from team "I will one day write something good" to team "I have no choice but to write a piece of shit" and then take off your "bad writer" hat and replace it with a "petty critic" hat and go to town on that poor hack's draft and that's your second draft. Fifteen drafts later, or whenever someone paying you starts yelling at you, who knows, maybe the piece of shit will be good enough or maybe everyone in the world will turn out to be so hopelessly stupid that they think bad things are good and in any case, you get to spend so much less time at a keyboard[...] Happy hunting and pecking!

After the first week of February I decided I would only read sequels. I made true on that for a few books until my library app fucked me over and didn't download Simon Snow 3 which I intended to start reading during my break at work (where I have no internet). I was so mad! 8D I was sulking afterwards and started a different book once I got home and the resolution was broken. Instead the theme of the month can easily be "I have never read so many books with adult characters in a row."

Das Verbotene Kapitel / The Lost Plot (The Invisible Library 8) (Genevieve Cogman): I honestly wasn't too invested in this. I was like for the first two days, but the writing style of this series always takes so long to read for me. I used to like it, but right now I just lack the patience. Also, it's the eighth volume. High time for it to end, really. Halfway through I switched to the audiobook to listen to while gaming and well. I'm not good at listening while doing other things. Maybe I'll pick the book up again in a few years to give the second half a proper read. I was content though with what I heard of the end.

The High King's Golden Tongue (Tales of the High Court 1) (Megan Derr): I said "I need more fantasy buhu *sad face*". And then I looked at my TBR and realised that out of 50 books only 3 have absolutely no magic, ghosts, different worlds or planets or whatsoever. Uhm. Well. Errr ... That didn't stop me from going through this recommendation list for queer fantasy books. uAu" Found this book. Sounded alright. Read the preview pages. Sounded alright. Looked it up in the library, uhuh available immediately! Borrowed it. Read it for the remainder of the day and a few hours of the night. uAu~ I can safely say I had fun reading this book. It's not fantasy with magic and creatures, just old kingdoms full of queer people. The worldbuilding is good, with all the different regions and languages being a major plot point. I liked the adventure, the characters (Sarrica's and Lesto's friendship is great), the pining. Good times!

The Pirate of Fathoms Deep (Tales of the High Court 2) (Megan Derr): The follow-up to Golden Tongue! I was unsure at first if I wanted to read the sequels (there are of 5 volumes in the series at the moment), but vol 2 is about Lesto who was my favourite character in vol 1, so no choice. It's like that 5.5 chapter of a boys love manga though. In the 5 chapters of the main story everything is tame until the bonus 5.5 chapter where they can finally do things. In High Court 1, there's exactly one smut scene. In vol 2, there's a million. And the book is only half the size! D: There is a small adventure going on and given the setting it makes sense that it progresses the way it does, but the 3 books afterwards are full length again, so why is it only this one character who gets the short one? u_u He's happy in the end, so all is well, but I would have liked a little more. I guess I have to continue reading the next volumes in the hopes to get a few glimpses. u3u

Husband Material (Forever Material in the German edtion) (Alexis Hall): After two books with middle-aged man and their (amourous) adventures, we slowly inch back to the younger generation. From end-thirties to mid-twenties! Books written by adults for adults, you know. Adult problems. Brrrr. At least, it's funny. Silly even. Was the first one this silly? I think, Oliver and Luc did well sorting through their various issues. I enjoy Luc’s narrative voice. And I loved the ending! xD It must be such a sore point for many people but I was like HELL YEAH!!!

Out of Nowhere (In the Middle of Somewhere 2) (Roan Parrish): I already read the first and third volume of this series, so reading volume 2 was inevitable even though Colin was not the most likeable character in vol 1. And well, he has issues let me tell you. Daniel of vol 1 was a mess but he managed to get a new start and build something for himself in that place. Will of vol 3 may not have the healthiest lifestyle but he was not unhappy with the direction of his life before meeting Leo. Whereas Colin is absolutely miserable and has no idea what to do about it. It was intruiging to read how he and Rafe managed. You know, there's this thing about this kind of books where the characters meet exactly the kind of person they need to survive and to thrive. Even with all the shit going on in this particular one, it's still comforting. xD

Wayward Son (Simon Snow 2) (Rainbow Rowell): The gang is 20, so it doesn't break the streak! I had fun reading this. Curiously, I liked it better than volume 1. Not quite sure why. (Maybe because of Suffering Boys.) Volume 1 was interesting in the way it felt like the 8th season of a series you haven't seen any episodes of before. Now this is the rare look at what happens to the heroes after the series ends and I'm here for it. I also found it remarkable how Baz was described as that utmost evil and ruthless being at first and turns out now he is the most loving and patient boyfriend of all times. xD

Pictures of You (Tina Winter): German author here. It's very basic in the theme and kind of predictable. But in a comforting way. Sometimes it's nice to know where everything will go so you can just lean back and enjoy the ride. The characters were pretty good and the setting was well illustrated. I mentioned last month that my visualisation abilites are not very good but I had no problem seeing the photos the protagonist takes which was pretty neet! I also very much appreciated how all the important conflicts actually happen and are resolved! That’s not a given. xD

Ring of Solomon (Aden Polydoros): I like Mr Polydoros' other books and I appreciate very much how all his books are different from each other. This one is contempory middle grade with a touch of magic. It was pretty okay, but I think it could have been a little bit deeper, a little more ambitious or challenging or complicated. Just more. Yes, it's middle grade but kids are always smarter than adults give them credit for, right? I feel, if you really want them to adore a book you have to give them something challenging that is a little bigger than themselves so that they can grow into it.

Reforged (Seth Haddon): Another gay king+knight story that made me realise I very much have a weakness for this kind of setting. xD Which is so weird because when I look through YA books and see a heroine who is a queen or princess fighting for her kingdom I immediately click away ... Well. This was a solid book. Not quite as joyful as A Taste of Gold and Iron or The High King's Golden Tongue but still solid (also it's a debut). The author clearly put thought and love into his main characters and probably the worldbuilding. Sometimes it was just written in a way that confused me at first, because the actual thing was named late. There's that other paladin guy who works alongside our hero. When he's introduced, it's written "They never got along." and then 90 pages later: "Now that XX was dead, he was his closest friend" And I was like "What?! I thought you hate each other? Did I read wrong? Let me leaf back real quick!" I mean, there is the possibility that among all those people he doesn't get along with this one is still the best but ... that's kinda sad. 8D So, there's small things like that. But the overall story and intrigue was well done I think.

Keeper of the Lost Cities 2: Exile (Shannon Messenger): I stayed at my parents's place for a few days to take care of the cats and thus my commute to work was twice as long as usual, so this came in from the library at just the right time. I listened to the audiobook though, so it was still a struggle for the first 8 hours. I'm so bad with audiobooks. 8D But the beginning was also very slow. It picked up speed around the halfway point, I'd say and also Keefe is my favourite character so I appreciated hearing more of him. I still find it a little odd how some of the characters' attitude towards Sophie is. Guys, she's only thirteen and didn't know about her powers for the longest time! How do you expect her to be perfect at everything and solve everything this very second? Geez. I'll probably continue with the 3rd volume at some point but I should really think about reading it instead of listening. :'D

On to the next month! As of writing this I already have read the best book of March, I swear. xD I’m possibly still high enough to even make a fanart happen.

[pantherxdrawz]

May I offer you some of my Ace Attorney Poly ship hcs?

*Dumps Langwrightworth headcanons at your feet*

…………… -They’re all trans. That’s it that’s the thing. They’re all gayass Trans men. (Also I get to make the “Hey I payed a lot of money to wear my shirt like this!” Joke with Lang)

-Edgeworth is DemiAroAce and Gay, Phoenix is Bi, Lang is Omni and they’re all Poly

-Lang is usually the one to carry his partners around, Edgeworth could carry Phoenix, Phoenix could just kind of carry Edgeworth (his lower body strength was way better than his upper) and there’s no way ether of them where gonna try to lift Langs nearly 6ft ass, even though Edgeworth had no excuse being nearly the same height

But Lang? Lang can carry them both at the same time, just throws them both over his shoulders like potato sacks. Edgworth hates the carrying style, meanwhile Phoenix makes windows noises. Although sometimes he surprisingly and seemingly randomly switches it to Bridal style, yes carrying them both like that.

(This is just if I’m not using my Robot Edgeworth headcanon, if I was then Edgeworths would change to being able to also easily lift Phoenix or Lang, or them both at once, robot arms.)

-Yes they all spoon together sometimes, it’s usually, Lang is the big spoon, Phoenix is the little spoon, Edgeworth is the teaspoon (little spoon of the little spoon) yes they specifically say he’s the “teaspoon”

But sometimes the order changes, like Phoenix is now the big spoon and Lang is the “littlelittle” spoon, or Edgeworth is big spoon, etc.

-Phoenix would probably be the first to propose, unless Edgeworth beats him to it, Phoenix would propose by just straight up asking, hell, maybe even in the middle of watching TV,

Meanwhile Edgeworth would make sure to set up a nice perfect date, like a custom consort playing only their favorite songs, or a romantic fireworks show,

Point is he would have E V E R Y T H I N G pre-planned for it,

Basically Phoenix and Edgeworth would be propose racing meanwhile Lang is just there, watching his boyfriends race over proposing and just sits out of the race, finding it amusing.

-For how they all got together,

It started with Edgeworth unintentionally falling for Phoenix and trying to hide it, which he succeeded at for quite a while, but you can’t hide the gay forever Edgy. Meanwhile Phoenix had been in love with Edgeworth since childhood, after the trial event, but he didn’t do anything at the time because he didn’t realize at the time, actually he didn’t realize he was still in love until a while after seeing Edgworth again in the flesh, (even though he was literally still experiencing crush symptoms since college???)

Phoenix and Edgeworth got together first, during Phoenix’s Disbarment, Then bam the investigations events happen

and Edgeworth ends up accidentally falling for Lang right near the end of the second investigation games events, and vice versa.

After that Phoenix and Edgeworth talked it over (Phoenix had to fucking LieDetector him out of it-) and agreed to have an open relationship where they could date whoever outside of it just tell the other first so now Lang and Edgeworth where also dating

But eventually Lang met Phoenix and they eventually ended up falling for each other as well- So now those two where dating and now everyone’s dating each other-

oops it’s a poly now-

Also bonus for an OT4 version with Godot joining the poly I’m putting under a cut:

Yes I uh, also ship Langwrightworthdot/Langwrightworthmando I find it cute

which is probably unheard of by the fandom, I mean the only ot4 version I’ve seen so far is Gumshoe as the fourth partner-

But eh my ot4 edition of an ot3 my rules, I aM THE SOLO CHEF IN THIS KITCHEN

Also I’m mainly referring to him as “Diego” and not “Godot” here because calling him that is not just a post coma thing he actually goes back to being called that in events before arrest in canon

anYWAYS

-Godot/Diego is also under the trans umbrella in my hcs, like he’s a gender-fluid menace that is a pronoun thief, no not even your neos are safe.

He’s also Pan, as long as you aren’t an evil bitch xe’d date ya, and they’re not exactly poly, but she isn’t against the idea ether

-Godot/Diego would join the poly a while after he’s been released from jail, because after that he would have lost his grudge with Wright and would have maybe considered becoming friends, which they did

The WrightDot/Wrightmando in this poly would be enemies to friends to lovers, well, more like, Robocop visor guy with a random grunge against a random blue guy he throws coffee at to friends to lovers

-Diego would just be dating Phoenix at first, not the rest of the poly, yes they all know they all know, he just chose to just date Phoenix

and guess what, their first date is a coffee date.

-But eventually Diego would drop just dating Phoenix and said “fuck it I’m dating the whole poly.” Well then,

MOVE LANG YOUR NOT THE TALLEST IN THE POLY ANYMORE- (I checked the official heights, Phoenix is 5’9, Edgeworth is 5’10 Lang is 5’11 and Diego is 6’1)

-Now with the partner carrying this time around, Phoenix can just barely get Diego off the ground, this is exactly what he feared would happen if he attempted to lift Lang- Edgworth does a better job than Phoenix does at carrying him, but he still doesn’t do it very well, meanwhile Lang can also easily carry him, just like Phoenix and Edgeworth,

Lang can also still carry all of his partners at once but he now struggles a bit, just because it’s the weight of another fully grown ass man being added on to the combined weight of two, but he refuses to show said struggle and carry’s on

Meanwhile Diego can also lift all of his partners easily, No not fucking all at once- He’s not that crazy or confident in his strength to attempt that- But he can easily carry Phoenix, Edgeworth and Lang separately

(This is, again, just how it’d be if we’re not using my robot Edgeworth headcanon, if we were Edgeworth could just go “scoop.” *lifts all of his partners at once with his robot arms*)

-Yes at this point they’ve all dealt with the “I hate to break it to you-“ misunderstanding they all responded and explained differently, but the funniest one out of them all is that Diego, instead of explaining, does This:

Person: Um, Mr. Armando, I hate to break it to you but, your boyfriend? Phoenix? He’s cheating on you with Agent La-

Lang: *So happens to be walking into the room*

Diego, with Zero hesitation: *Proceeds to grab Lang by the collar while staring at the person dead in the eyes and proceeds to start making out with him*

Person:

Person: …w hat-

-Oh hey new proposal race- Damnit- This time Everyone’s in the race-

Edgeworth is back at it with the “must have perfect date planned to propose” while also attempting to do it before Phoenix asks it randomly while watching TV or somth- Lang is also planning on proposing, but not in a casual or traditional set, he wanted to ask while under the stars and moonlight (but no full moon cause werewolf hc- I don’t think that’s gonna go well) and Diego was gonna propose to the other three in another coffee date

-Yeah. Yeah at this point Trucy has not one not two but four dads. And they’re all gonna beat you up alongside Apollo if anything where to happen to her and it was your fault it happened.

-Also one more hc that’s not 1000% related to the ship but it is some shenanigan that happened at least once or twice,

If there’s ever a power outage, or the four are all together in a dark area, Instead of using the flashlights on their devices they go “Hey let’s use our boyfriend as a flashlight! *proceeds to grab Diego and aim him like a flashlight*”

so for context on this, by the time they’re all in a four person poly Diego would switch from the Robocop looking mask he had as Godot to red sunglasses which are actually a new technology that are glasses for blind people

…glasses fix all vision problems at this point ig-

and said glasses also glow in the dark, but they glow brighter then the visor did to the point when in a dark area he might as well be wearing two flashlights over his eyes

Works to scare criminals in the dark away though

🚩 🚩 🚩 { just curious }

Oh shit you are trying to put me on a soap box, aight hear me out. 1. AESTHETICS DONT MEAN SHIT IF YOU CANNOT WRITE. It makes me so SICK to see how the roleplay community is about how pretty you make your blog look but you cant even use your and you're correctly my g. Not shitting on anyone for using grammar incorrectly, it happens to the best of us but if I cannot comprehend a word you say in your response, decorating should be the last thing you worry about. Reading a book takes just as much time as decorating the blog, maybe pick up one.

2. NOT HAVING MOBILE FRIENDLY LINKS ANYWHERE IS CHILDISH. Me personally, I came to tumblr during a time where I had to do a mini scavenger hunt to find rules, information, etc on a blog bc pinned comments and linking in bios didnt exist. That was 3ish years ago and it sucked navigating as a mobile user back then because we werent as recognized as desktop. Its a new era and not alot of people have access to computers, dont be an ass and inconvenience others bc you cant be bothered to pin and link something. AND AN ADDITIONAL POINT. You cannot get upset with those who ask to see your rules or other pages on your blog bc you dont have it easily accessible. This is ESPECIALLY important if you are mutuals only, send the stuff and dont be an ass about it.

3. ON THE TOPIC OF MUTUALS ONLY, IF YOU ONLY ROLEPLAY WITHIN THE FANDOM OR WITH 5 PEOPLE, YOU CANNOT COMPLAIN ABOUT OTHERS BEING VERSTILE. Now dont get me wrong, new fandoms use mutual only systems as a form of protection, Im not talking about them. Im saying for example, marvel muses who only roleplay within the marvel fandom (like only roleplaying with avenger muses and no one else) and dont venture out! Thats boring and shows you cant switch up your style or go outside of your comfort zone for writing. I get it, some fandoms are more niche than others, require more knowledge than others, once again not talking about them. I mean popular fandom canon muses who do not interact with ocs, other side characters, and keep a small circle of roleplay buddies then complain about the lack of interactions or lack of new people coming to the blog. Most people can tell right away that their blog wont mesh well with yours since you only roleplay with the same 5 people! Babe, it turns us off.

4. and a bonus bc why not. IF YOU ARE MUTUALS ONLY HAVE THAT SOMEWHERE EASILY ACCESSIBLE/EASY TO SEE. I know to read rules as its basic etiquette when it comes to rping but most people do not have it big and bolded that they are mutuals only. Im one of those people who need to see it as soon as I go onto a blog. Respectfully if you have it as a rule, dont wait until I click on your caard, put it on the 20th rule, or put it in a really obscure spot. Put it in your bio! Even if you are selective seriously!

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

2, 14, 23, 25? <3

2. Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project

oh honestly im mostly looking forward to being done with writing rn hfjhjg ive been doing nothing but thasmissy for 2 months straight at this point and i need to finish like 2 more scenes. so i suppose the technobabble im doing in one of those scenes bc it's really fun to find words to put in it. even though it takes forever. and then i wanna take a little break. ive still got a series of like weird sex fics somewhere on the backburner i might go do that (it's like, 13/tardis, yaz getting off to gallifreyan anatomy textbooks, yaz with the hologram in 13x5, and another one i cant remember rn, oh yeah something with the robot master and shalka doctor, but i cant write them so idk. i think it would be fun to write robot sex though)

14. At what point in writing do you come up with a title?

either when i hit post and ao3 tells me i forgot the title (bad titles). or else it just ✨Comes To Me✨ at some point during writing (better titles). not the question but these are my favourite titles: kerblam it!, wondering about the perspective of the person who confuses interbellum with no man’s land, auto-tromperie à deux, or: the double-slit experiment, and the thasmissy one which will be called playing doctor <3

23. What’s the story idea you’ve had in your head for the longest?

s12 fic where yaz gets basically seduced by the master because the master is willing to give her answers the doctor wont. she finds the doctor's phone and they start texting. they both find something in each other that the doctor is unable to give them. the doctor when she finds out is So Mad. shes like hes dangerous!!!!1! but theres this possessive undertone you know? ive had scenes of that on my computer since like summer 2020. it's never gonna get finished but thats okay because i think most of what i thought was interesting about that fic i incorporated into thasmissy in some way. also i think it ended by yaz getting killed by a cyberman and the doctor beating the master to death for it so fkjghjkghgfjh too sad to finish tbh. it wasnt even the master's fault it was both their faults she was angry at herself so she killed him. and then sat with him until he regenerated. while yaz i think, stood there as a cyberman. anyway! fucked up! not my style

25. What part of writing is the most fun?

when im writing some weird gross visceral time stuff and looking in thesauruses and going on etymology dives and finding fun connections between words that i can use to make more subtext. and making up new ways to use words and sentences so i can make them hold more connections. increase the meaning/word ratio you know? thats the most fun

okay bonus found that fic. i had 2000 words. heres how it starts:

It starts with dying.

An endless dark. Without direction or sound or exit. Where air isn’t air and she doesn’t know how she’s still breathing. Where she can’t be alive because she can’t feel her heart beating.

“Okay, PC Khan. Nothing to worry about.”

It starts with dying.

It doesn’t end with it.

The Doctor pulls her out.

Its warm in australia. The heat crowds around her when she steps out of the glass cage, lapping at her hands, her face, curious, tentative, playful.

A Soft grip on her arms guides her to a chair, to reality, to being alive.

Someone presses a cup of tea into her hands. Large brown concerned eyes ask her if she's hurt.

She later learns his name is o. She later learns it isnt.

and this is how it ends:

His eyes switch to her as soon as he realises what this result of their actions is. Eyes big and hungry, apprehensive on the edges, mouth twitching but never reching a grin. Both stock still her eyes are still on the cyberman. One breath. Two breaths.

His eyes widen slightly when her attention shifts to him. Eyes dark and pushed too far like the chasm beyond the cliff. When she steps forward theres no delay in his step back.

Silence as the only witness of the last two children of gallifrey. The physical sounds of a body breaking and abody being broken.

Sound of breath and fists and one scream when she breaks his arm.

When she stumbles off of him, sitting where she lands, stopping moving further rather than sitting, silence still her only witness, he hasnt moved in a while, hasnt made a sound in a while. She watches until he starts glowing. Then she gets up and and without looking back walks away.

She finds the cyberman who was yasmin khan and says with a voice that is the oppoiste of what her hands just did, tender and regretful and soft, "yaz" because they were friends. And because no other words she will ever string together will be enough to make okay what she did to her. But the words press to her lips anyway. sorry doesnt change what she did. Sorry would be an insult.

"Your family will know"

Im sorry

"You wont be forgotten"

Im sorry

"You deserved better than you got"

Than i did to you. Im sorry

"Thank you yaz."

Im sorry

"Goodbye"

Im sorry

"And im sorry"

She zaps her sonic and the cyberman falls.

TheLreads, Vigilantes ch 105, Replies Part 1

1) “So, last time Pop’s ghost came back to annoy Koichi, and then McBee McSnapped. That’s all you need to know for us to get started with Chapter 105: Pest”-Nomura is being pestered by Koichi’s existence, Koichi is being pestered by Pop’s ghost preventing him from ending Nomura’s existence.

2) “Hi my Name is McEbony McDarness McNumber Six, and I have long ebony black hair (that’s how I got part of my name) with a cool scar running down my face and cool and mysterious eyes like a dark and mysterious hero and a lot of people tell me I look like O'Clock (AN: if you don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!).”-I do believe this is a motherfucking Jojo reference. I also believe that Nomura is not pulling the posing off quite as well as he thinks he is. Bonus: it’s referencing part 2 of the saga, whose Jojo was noted for out-thinking his opponent’s moves, and now, Nomura finds himself facing an opponent whom his own lightning-quick thinking speed can’t outwit, because he doesn’t think before acting.

3) “So… Where are the other heroes? Why haven’t them run in there to assess the situation while others heroes care for the entrances?

…

Wait…

Wait a second- You better not be planning to bring All might here!”- Maybe the other heroes are on strike? Honestly, with the sheer number of them mobilised over in MHA to achieve a similar effect prior to the PLF raid, their absence here is pretty jarring….but at least All Might’s on the case!....in other prefectures.

4) “you’re on thin ice furuhashi, better thread carefully…

Also that’s certainly a bleak reflection of real world and internet in general: Here’s some ungodly horrifying tragedy, and now, watch this puppy sneeze on another puppy.”- I mean, they don’t know there’s a tragedy impending in the darkness, just that there’s been a massive civil disturbance in there. There’d be a lot more attention drawn if there was proof of blood around, but so far, that part of operation Anonymous is proceeding smoothly.

5) “OH THANK GOD

ALSO, HA HA FUCK YOU FURHASHI, THIS BAIT AND SWITCH WAS SPECIFICALLY TARGETED AT ME I KNOW”- There shall be no interruptions in this fated showdown! Honestly, the fact the protagonist and villain are lower-tier fighters does come with an interesting aspect to both needing to avoid the attention of powerful, top-tier fighters in their world when they have their conflicts, which is something that doesn’t apply to Izuku, what with the sheer power his opponents have (gestures vaguely to kamino ward and Jaku)

6) “And there goes a flying koichi- Don’t worry he does that, it’s enrichment being thrown around like that”- Markedly in one piece for a guy who’s supposed to have just eaten a point-blank explosion, huh?

7) “Got that one out of your system? Because you certainly didn’t managed to hurt koichi that much I must say. Even with your speed you can’t get a good hit in I suppose”- You’re more correct that you know. Nomura can out-speed Koichi’s thinking process, but with that defensive ability of his and his subconscious instinct for danger, if Koichi’s body can react quickly enough, that speed edge doesn’t matter.

8) “Oh wait, you got three punches in? And koichi is still in a single, solid piece?

My man, your power really sucks”- Or like, Koichi’s true potential is really awesome.

9) “Pfffttt- Yeah, sure. My guy, you couldn’t even kill that cop at blank range, and he didn’t even had a speed quirk, Koichi was barely scratched by that”- He’s more hurt from the fall backwards because he's unused to getting hit that hard. Note how Koichi landed better the next time Nomura threw another exploding haymaker; he’s already adapting to his enemy’s fighting style to better nullify it. 10) “Oh wait, those guys are affected by Midnight’s quirk? I thought that since they don’t have a speed quirk like McBee that AfO would at least remove the respiratory system, because honestly it’s not like they are using it anyway, but alas”- I’m not honestly sue if they are affected, or if Midnight merely thinks they are because they’re not responding anymore, Nomura’s signals being interrupted by his duel with Koichi. 11) “YES! THEY WERE FOUND!

Now McBee, can you actually fucking kill someone please? Someone with a name that is, because killing nameless extras doesn’t count”- Sometimes I can’t tell who’s more bloodthirsty for violence in this story, you or Nomura.

12) “Dammit koichi couldn’t you waited like, two more minutes? McBee’s track record is looking pretty bad, he literally can’t kill a single person”- It’s not even for a lack of trying, which just makes it all the more sadder.

13) “Gonna be honest, it doesn’t even look like the exploding punches did that much damage, it looks more like he got hurt when he ate shit face first on the floor.

Honestly McBee, I’m getting McDone with your McBullshit, can you actually do something right please?”- He’s doing his best! It’s just, y’know, his best sucks.

14) “oh, going plus ultra there? That’s cute, you really think that’s gonna save you from Koichi”- Nomura is for once too slow; Koichi’s already going Plus Ultra to defeat his attacks, even without really knowing how he’s pulling that off.

15) “Yeah McBee, I don’t want to say anything, but Koichi literally trained himself to be able to stop punches from a guy that was way tougher than you are. I’d mention his name, but unfortunately he still hasn’t come back from the convenience store.”- The punching training coming in clutch to deflect/nullify Nomura’s own deadly-force attacks is a great callback to what training Koichi did receive from Knuckle. That said, it’s a shame that Koichi’s so reedy, because he’s simply not got enough muscle mass on him to fully block the force of the explosion, getting blown backwards from it every time. If he had even minor super-strength like Izuku’s Full Cowling 5% he could go on the offensive more, but as it is he needs to pull back to avoid injury. 16) “Nice, Koichi is using his quirk to intercept the punches in mid-air, like I imagined him to do. Really nice, that’s basically the same principle of using those training gloves when sparring against Knuckles a few years ago.”- This means that Koichi could have pulled this move out at any point against the other villains who always tried to hit/attack him, allowing him to better contend against them physically. He could have been like one of those kung-fu masters who dodge or deflect attacks with minimal movement, deflecting force rather than receiving it. In terms of defensive skills, Koichi’s already a master, but his lack of offense – or rather, intent to harm – is a serious handicap in allowing him to win solo. (Vigilantes ch 100)

17) “Don’t Aizawa, there’s no need to pull him back, he’s resistant to explosions, he ate his cereals that morning.”- I’m not even certain if his unscathed appearance here is because of Aizawa’s quick reaction, or his own faster defensive power being used in the heat of the moment. (Vigilantes ch 104)

18) “No way that hit connected, I bet Koichi managed to turn around and use his shot to deflect the hit.

Hopefully.I’ll blame Pop regardless.”- Oh it connected….it just wasn’t strong enough to actually overcome Koichi’s greatest power, the ability to take a beating and get back up! @thelreads

Doom WADs’ Roulette (2008): Urban Brawl

Here I was, a stupid chubby bastard pretending to narrate like “Max Payne” in a world that looks like Frank Miller’s “Sin City”, sitting on my overpriced gamer chair, thinking if I need one or two playthroughs of “Urban Brawl” for my review...

...

That’s all of the narration you're gonna get.

G3: Action Doom 2: Urban Brawl

Main author(s): Stephen Browning (Scuba Steve)

Release date: September 8th, 2008 (original version/database upload)/September 8th, 2021 (Reloaded version)

Version(s) played: Remaster

Required port compatibility: (G)ZDoom

Levels: 10

Urban Brawl is a prequel to the 2004’s Action Doom, where instead of a first-person Contra homage, it’s a first-person Double Dragon homage. And if you read the intro... Yes... It’s going to be another one of those unorthodox reviews I made... without any screenshots.

scare chord

Changing the subject, let’s talk about this WAD.

The making of Urban Brawl began months after the release of its predecessor. However, instead of taking a route of Action Doom with promotional stuff, contest events, etc. it was created under the nose of the Doom community, and revealed the same day it was released. It can be downloaded like any other WAD (although this is more like a ZDoom-based game than a typical Doom WAD), but in the past, you could buy the special edition for 10 bucks until May 20th, 2010. Aside from having a CD case, the special edition also included the survival mode (with zombies FYI).

The plot of this game (mostly written by Darknation and voice acted by Mike Lightner in cutscenes) takes place a decade before the events of the original Action Doom. You are still playing as the same guy but as a drunk, single father ex-cop (who has PTSD due to an event that he describes as Saigon). One day you return to your home to find out that your child has been kidnapped. I don’t think I have to explain to you what happens next.

Now, before we start, let me tell you that I thought I would play the original version from 2008 since I downloaded the game from the archives thinking it was that version. Turns out it’s a remaster from 2021 which is more compatible with modern source ports and PCs, adds additional moves, and tweaks the visuals among other things.

So, fuck it; sticking with this version; I’m not interested in scouring the Internet for the original version of this game. And besides that, I can immediately scratch remaster from my bonus WADs list.

Now, without wasting any more time, let’s find out if this game is better than its predecessor.

Urban Brawl has a completely different style compared to Action Doom. Gone are the Doom sprites sprinkled with some Contra-looking stuff in between; now everything looks like a comic book. Not gonna lie, I kind of like the direction this game went to. It’s pretty colorful without counting the cutscenes (which are black and white), and most of the sprites look distinct for the lack of better words.

Music was also rather enjoyable to listen to. It was created by Ralph Vickers (Ralphis) who would later co-create Double Impact in 2011. My favorite track might be Pump’d from MAP04.

As I mentioned earlier, this game is more or less an homage to beat 'em-up games. You go around beating people up until you are allowed to go further. No switch hunting, no finding keys, no shitty hitscanners; you just ravage the leaving shit out of your neighborhood to find your kidnapped child. You don’t really need anything deeper than that.

...

Okay, there is some deepness to this game.

In the case of more noticeable additions to this game, there are multiple endings. It mostly comes down to what will you do after defeating the first boss, but there are other factors as well.

No-context spoiler for the good ending ==> wreck the car.

There is also a score system that feels pretty useless aside from the casino section in the main bad guy’s skyscraper where you can use the points on slot machines.

Now this might be a small problem, but I wish the subtitles in cutscenes could be synchronized better with spoken dialogue.

Now changing the subject, Urban Brawl can be kind of challenging on the normal skill level, especially at the beginning when you don’t exactly know what to do and how to utilize your attacks but after a while, you will be uppercutting fools who will go right unto your fist; but that ain’t mean the game will suddenly become easy, okay?

Your fighting skills include regular and strong punches, the aforementioned uppercut (dual pressing alt fire), grabbing and throwing the enemies, and ground pound that takes part of your health, along with being able to carry one melee, ranged, and special weapon.

When it comes to enemies, the roster includes a huge amount of baldies, black guys with shivs (yellow ones can throw it), fatasses, prostitute-looking twats, guards in suits (most of them have a gun), and, people’s favorites, Goth babes (chuckling).

And as for the weapon roster, when it comes to more unique stuff, there is a bottle of whiskey that functions as a liquid armor before using it or someone’s head, and we even have a taser that stunlocks probably almost every enemy that is mid-tier at most. Also, the melee weapons have limited durability, so try saving these for tougher bastards.

Fellas, I’m going to be honest with you – while Urban Brawl isn’t entirely my cup of tea because it’s kind of awkward to fight in it, I think it might be better than Action Doom, both as a standalone game and as a successor to it. I might give it another shot in the future. After all, it’s just a blind playthrough. I will probably find it better next time.

And as for the next WAD to check out, it’s Eternal Doom Fo-

...

E-Eternal Do-

...

Eternal...

Eternal...

Eternal...

The truth was a burning green crack through my brain. Memories of beautiful locations ruined by the switch-hunting puzzles only the biggest 90s adventure games nutjob would’ve come out with. Demons teleporting behind you after they spot you making you waste your precious ammunition. Questioning why many people enjoy this MegaWAD despite how terrible its cons are. I was about to play the sequel to “Eternal Doom” from 1997. Funny as hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.

my apologies if you’ve done this before but how about the boys with a gentle dom fem reader? i love em so much and wanna take good care of em yknow? love ur blog btw! keep up the great work!! ❤️

This is so sweet and I love this idea! Sorry this took 84 years holy shit. I just have had a mental writing roadblock on this concept for while and I finally got over it!

TW: NSFW, Gentle Femdom.

Poly!Ghostface! x GentleDom!Fem!Reader:

Stu would be the first to embrace that side of you for sure. He's the ultimate switch, so subbing for you is no problem.

In addition to that, he would love the contrast between you and Billy's domming styles. Billy's hard dom and your soft dom make for two very different but welcome experiences.

Billy, on the other hand, would take a bit longer to be okay with it.

His need for control in his life, and his women issues, has him reluctant to accept a female dom in his life (or a male one for that matter, but I digress)

But Billy secretly craves it. I mentioned it a few times before, but Billy secretly has a huge kink for femdom. Though he hasn't even thought of the possibility that it'd be in a gentle context.

And that's where he finds his acceptance: in the fact you dom gently and lovingly. He loves feeling worshipped and taken care of, and the fact it feels less like him being dommed and more like him being nurtured drives him wild.

Whenever you give him the most gentle and sweetly worded "No~", holy shit. Game over. That's so hot to him for some reason.

If you and Billy tag team Stu? I don't think he'd survive. Billy would get all rough and controlling and mean, while you give orders in the sweetest way, giving praise, and taking good care of him. And when you two bicker about punishment but then agree that maybe he deserves both your punishments? Nut.

Billy loves when you pepper kisses on his chest while holding him down, telling him what a good boy he's being. Especially if you're riding him.

Stu has a huge thing for you massaging his hips or thighs as you peg him.

They both absolutely DIE whenever you tie their hands up and give them a tit-job. Watching your soft breasts wrap around their cocks, moving up and down while telling them how much they deserve it, while at the same time restricting their arm movement? Dead. Gone. Deceased.

It'll take muuuuuch longer for Billy to be okay being pegged in a relationship. It takes a lot of trust to get to that point, so dont expect it for awhile.

As a matter of fact, Billy subbing in general is rare, so most of your dom efforts will be spent on Stu.

When you and Billy dom together though, magic happens. In a surprising twist, you two get along really well in a dom setting. The banter comes easy, your ideas bounce of each other well, and it's overall a super fun and exciting experience. Although you do butt heads sometimes, but that's just natural with two doms.

Stu does have a need to dom sometimes too, so you'll definitely need to sub for him sometimes. Bonus points if you keep up the gentle act! Super bonus points if you suddenly act bratty!

Please for the love of god wear garters and stocking when you dom. Billy has a huge thing for lingerie on his partners, female or male. And Stu just thinks it's sexy.

Speaking of lingerie, if you make Stu wear it you'll turn him into a quivering mess. He gets off on the slight humiliation of it, but he still feels hot in it, but also boys shouldn't wear lingerie right? And all those thoughts clash in his brain. You'll make it short circuit in the most delicious way. And Billy seeing Stu in lingerie will drive him feral. He'll mount the blond faster than you can say "good boy~"

Ride them. Watching you rock up and down on their cocks, tits bouncing, and a gentle, yet blissed out expression on your face as you praise them and tell them how good you wanna take care of them? Rubbing your hands up and down their chests as you work while they get to sit back and relax and listen to your instructions? Godly.

Hi! Sure you can, I hope you like it (it’s not the best but oh well). Mwah.

Warning; pure smut Headcanons. oh and this isnt checked for spelling.

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Shes prettty sweet, definitly helps you out of any bounds or restraints if they were used during sex, she likes to play with your hair (or style it). She would possibly read you a chapter of your favourite book or tell you the latest gossip. She will most definitely run you a bath (and that would probably lead to another round), and she would even wash your hair or draw little shapes on your shoulder blade.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Her favourite body part on herself if her shoulders, she’s always been a bit insecure about them (since they are a bit bigger) but once she began playing quidditch she really started to like them.

Her favourite body part on you is probably just your entire body, she enjoys running her hands almost every wear and gripping the flesh (bonus points if you have doughy and bigger potions, eg hips, thighs, stomach).

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

She loves pussy eating for this very reason of getting to watch and taste you, it’s basically her favourite activity and she’s always fantasizing about it.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Her first time was with Mary in fifth year, it wasn’t even supposed to go that far. They began kissing just to try and you know the rest. There weren't any romantic feelings between them and they agreed to never talk about it again. But she sometimes really wishes it would become a regular thing.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

She’s pretty experienced with her own body, so she uses her own knowledge and applies it to you. She asked quite a lot the first few times, what you liked and didn’t. But now she’s an expert at pleasing you.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Most likely when you’re on top, especially because she gets to lay back and watch you (which is her favourite thing to do). She loves to hold your hips, guiding your pace and smiling if you get frustrated.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

It depends, she definitely makes more teasing comments but they aren’t really funny (well atleast not to you). Sometimes though, something just happens (either “embarrassing” like a sound or movement) and you both just kinda burst out laughing. Your first times together was more light hearted, but as you go on it get more serious.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

She is pretty well groomed, she trims it more often than goes completely bare, for friction reasons. She just prefers to be well kept, but she doesn’t care if you are or not.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

She’s very caring sometimes, even if she’s teasing. She’s always shushing you gently with a grin, and she loves to stroke your hair when you’re just about to cum. She doesn’t really realize how intimate she is.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

She loves it, obviously she enjoys sexual moments with you but she also likes time to herself and loves exploring new things (like toys). She doesn’t do it as often when you both get together, but she still does it occasionally.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

She has many, but she doesn’t always do them at the same time. She likes to branch out and try new things. Definitely dom and sub roles is a huge part (she’s a switch, but probably prefers dom). She loves hair pulling and spanking, along with dress up ( she fucking loves lacy lingerie sets or when you wear her clothes).

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Her dorm, though she prefers in the shower or bath. She really likes those quick fucks in a closet, or in the locker rooms.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Short skirts or whenever you give her fuck eyes, she loves it when people look completely vulnerable sexually. She especially get motivated whenever she teases you and you go bright red (or at least flustered, like mumbled stuttering).

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

She won’t do anal, she’s never really been a fan of it (except for spanking, she loves that shit). But she will never do anal play, it actually sorta freaks her out.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

She prefers if she’s given it, especially when she gets to sit on your face and sorta just completely suffocates you. She doesn’t mind going on you, she enjoys it, but she much rather be the one receiving it.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

She’s a mix of all, it depends on her mood. She typically can go fast and sensual, even though she likes to take her time. It’s an odd combination, but that’s what works for her. Can you imagine fast and rough

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Absolutely, she loves ‘before games’ quickies in the dorms or changing rooms. Or between class fucks, she will take it anytime she gets.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? Do they take risks? etc.)

She is really risky and will most definitely do it anytime and anywhere, but she prefers places she used too. She is constantly wanting to try new toys or new positions. Her middle name is experiment, of course she would only do things that aren’t crossing your boundaries.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

It depends, she can get bored of the same stuff so it depends if you guys have time to explore new things. She can go a good few, like 4, since she is athletic and has good stamina, but she definitely needs a break in between.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

She owns many variations from dildos to vibrators. She uses them quite a lot, since it’s easier. She’ll use them on herself and you, but of course she will wash them and properly take care of them. She’s quite skillful with and without them, so whether you both use them or not, you’re definitely having the time of your life.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

She’s always a tease, whether it's leading her hand up your thigh in class, wearing short skirts or no bra, whispering dirty things, it happens on a daily basis. She gives you yearning looks during class, smirking. It’s 50% sex and 50% taunts and teases.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

She’s not that loud, she swears more often than actually groaning. She sometimes does those small whimpers if you’re leading (which only happens in a blue moon), but she isn’t actually quiet; she talks to you.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

She would definitely want Lily or Mary to join, or she would love to go to one of this girls sleepover party’s and it ends up being a sex-a-thon orgy. She isn’t into men, so if ahy threesome’s where to go down it would be with girls.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

She has perky breasts, they're small but she likes them and her confidence makes you like them as well. Her strap is around 7 inches, but it’s more girthy.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Pretty high, she can go any time and where. She’s always thinking about sex but she is never actually horny most times, when she is horny she can go for hours on end.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

She actually has a very high stamina due to quidditch, so she has built up a tolerance to stay awake after a ‘workout’. There for, she can stay up for hours after sex and will probably spend her time taking care of you.

Magnolia Blues--Chapter 2: Butterflies and Strawberries

Esmeralda ‘Jo’ Jones is new in town, but has already been building big dreams for herself. Eddie Munson knows that the path in his life leads him to just west of 'Nowhere Fast’ as he’s no stranger to the circumstances and how they don’t always work out for some people. When Jo and Eddie meet, it seems like a spark that may or may not catch. But the slowest loves are the ones that mean and hurt the worst.

Black OC X Eddie Munson.

NOTE: All canonical deaths still stand. The gore is NOT described as the main focus in the romance.

Chapter 1--Meetings | Chapter 2– Butterflies and Strawberries | Chapter 3–The Vortex Meets a Magnolia | Chapter 4–Action Vs. Reaction | Chapter 5–Sights Ahead: When Clouds Meet The Ground | Chapter 6–Psychic: Damage and Healing (Final Part)

Bonus: Deleted Scenes (Fluff, fluff, and more full)

The hallways, a place where Jo admittedly knows she will stand out no matter what, is somewhat of a solace after History. The pointed introduction is not her style but at least here, sinking into the flow of bodies, Jo knows that she won’t have to call attention to her newness. And as the weeks progress, Jo keeps herself in the hallways for as long as she can. 

Her locker releases with a light click and she lifts to get the door open. It’s been one to stick the colder the mornings get. More than once she’s chipped her nail polish or had to run to the nurse’s office for a quick bandage because she scraped her knuckle on the damned contraption. With a huff, Jo gets the metal to give and she swings open the door. 

“Please tell me your ‘rents have loosened their grip,” Eddie says sliding up next to Jo while she works on switching out her binders for the day. 

“What are you on about Eddie?”

“My band. We’re practicing and we need an unbiased but clearly obvious willing skeptic to weigh in on this song.”

“And I am such skeptic?” Jo asks. 

“Look, we can work on whatever homework your parents are going to check over when you get back. But this is one of the free days before Dungeons and Dragons and it’s important. So are you in or are you out?”

“You mean check your answers in algebra for every riff you nail?”

Eddie’s smile lifts his cheeks and he follows the moment of softness with a scoff. “I’m surprised a pop princess such as yourself even knows the term riff. And it’s shred. You shred a riff.”

“Whatever it is, sure I guess I can help. Just give me the address before lunch. I have to leave early today for a doctor’s appointment.”

“You okay?”

“Fit as a fiddle,” Jo returns, slamming the door closed in order to avoid the lock not catching. 

“Fiddles don’t go to the doctor if they’re fit,” Eddie counters in a whisper. 

Jo watches the way Eddie glances down to the ground and his fingers twist his rings around. It’s not that she wants to say it's worry on his face. But there’s something about the concern in Eddie’s face that breaks through the usual sarcastic veneer he holds in front of himself. It spurs a softness in Jo and she lets the truth spill over her tongue with ease. “I need a physical to try out for track and field. I was supposed to do it before the school year started but there was something screwy with the insurance. Got sorted finally and now I’m going.”

Eddie nods, head raising slowly at the news. “Ew. An athlete--who even are you?” 

Jo laughs at the jab. “Someone that can run literal laps around you. Besides, what if I landed in the Olympics? Wouldn’t you feel just silly for such a statement?”

“Prove it to me then, Bambi.” Eddie juts his chin out, crouching almost like getting ready at the start line. 

Jo laughs, turning from Eddie. “You’d barely get the chance to eat my smoke, Munson.” Just as the sentence leaves her mouth the bell rings and Eddie pops his head up, an action to flick the hair out of his face but he watches Jo striding down towards their first class today, History. 

“Oh, don’t give me a challenge,” Eddie whispers to himself before straightening up and catching up to Jo. 

_____________

Eddie knows it’s useless. When the thwack comes to the back of his head, he knows only one person would even dare consider it. But he still spins to the offender only to find Jo slapping her tray down onto the cafeteria table. The not quite fully considerable piles of peas served at the lunch splash over the edge of the container at the action. Jo settles to his left, lifting the slice of pizza up before she’s fully seated. 

“As I was saying,” Eddie continues, spinning back to the group. “Next week--let’s be prepared. Alright boys, let’s be fucking prepared.”

The rest of the table nods, poking around at their trays but not quite fully settling in to eat any of the school’s lunch. “I’m still reeling,” Dustin grins. 

Jo listens to the group recounting their latest adventure. She listens to the play-by-play of the barely dodged spells, the wounds endured. She’d never played, but she still grins listening to the group in excitement. Eddie, satisfied at the sound of the excited murmurs of the group, turns to Jo. “One of these days you’re going to regret that.”

“You’ve said that every day for the last eight months damn near and I haven’t yet. And by the way, we got a C+ on the report.” They’d been paired together on a book report to present their novel from both the protagonist and antagonist perspective and then give a dramatic retelling. A project that would have easily been aced by both of them. Given Eddie’s background as the DM for the Hellfire Club he was no stranger to piecing together a juicy tale. Jo actually read the book for what it’s worth and combined it felt like a project that couldn’t fail. But life gets in the way. With his uncle gone most of the time, it was up to Eddie to fend for himself in most ways and the time he did have to not sink into the pit of worry and despair he was filling with Dungeons and Dragons, and the band. His only two escapes in the world that didn’t have him guzzling to the bottom of a beer bottle. He hated resorting to those moments. 

A flash of worry crosses Eddie’s face. “That-that doesn’t fuck up your grade does it?”

Jo cracks into the paper carton of milk. “I’d have to literally not turn anything in to be worried. We’re good.”

“I’d say you couldn’t have done it without me, but,” Eddie punctuates the sentence with a shrug. 

“It was busy work before spring break and we both know it. It’s whatever.” Jo returns her attention back to the food on her tray. 

“For such an athlete, you eat like garbage,” Eddie teases. “And right before invitational too? Coach Sanders won’t be happy.”

Jo narrows her gaze at Eddie. “You shut your whore mouth, Eddie.”

“Or what? You’re going to make me shut it?”

“That would just make your day wouldn’t it?”

Eddie shrugs. “We’ll never know until we try.”

“But then oh what would come of the latest wizards, bards, clerics, and barbarians in Basements and Lizards?”

“Dungeons and Dragons--you’re not even using alliteration. You can’t disrespect the game and not even use clever alliteration.”

Jo picks up a pea and tosses it in Eddie’s face. “You’re the clever one, but that’s going to get you in trouble one of these days.”

“Maybe I’m hoping it will,” Eddie starts before looking out over the cafeteria. In the bottom of his peripheral vision, Eddie catches the top of his lunch box. Beneath the pretzels and the half a sandwich, he knows what sits in the tin. Would it bother Jo? At the end of the day, it was keeping him afloat. The only truth to the matter is that Eddie did what felt necessary. It doesn’t matter if it’s accepted--it was always necessary. 

Eddie hears the conversations all around him. Mike and Dustin talking about Mike’s upcoming trip over spring break to California. Jo is laughing at something. He can hear from behind him someone talking about all the moves to be made in chess. There’s the obnoxious thump of someone with a basketball. There’s the clattering of trays as they slide down over the tables. 

The bell rings and everyone begins to collect their stuff and Eddie sees it, but he stays in his seat. When Jo’s almost about to pass him, Eddie reaches for her wrist, the metal of her bracelets is warmth from wear. “You can afford to skip your next class right?” Eddie asks. 

Jo laughs. “I skip once with you and now we’re making it a pattern? I’ve got a chemistry exam on Friday. I don’t want to miss the review.”

“What’s your grade in Chemistry right now?”

“An A,” Jo answers. 

“You can afford to miss the review.” Eddie stands, grabbing his lunch box and then leading both of them to the tray return. 

“Eddie. I can meet you after practice for a bit in the classroom that you hold Dungeons and Dragons in if you want.”

His grip doesn’t loosen, but he does move from holding her wrist to pressing his palm into hers. “Jo, live a little. Today’s Wednesday. Your test is Friday. That’s two days for you to review. Teacher’s are barely doing anything the rest of this week or next week due to the break in two weeks. You have invitational that you’ve worked your ass off to over qualify for. A little bit of rest. That’s all I’m asking.”

They fall in line with the rest of the students leaving the cafeteria. Jo sighs, hitching her bag up onto her shoulder. She did feel confident about the test and most of the next week would be labs, presentations, and barely worthy material. It wouldn’t hurt. 

“I’m going to take that silence for a very hesitant yes, Bambi,” Eddie teases as he veers off to the left of the wave. He nods in the direction of the art and music hall. “What do you say?”

“Where are we going?” Jo asks. 

“Is that a yes?”

“It’s a yes. Now, c’mon. Before we get caught.” Eddie spins on his heel and continues guiding them through the hallways. “Tell me, where does Jo come from? Is it for Flo-Jo?”

The sound of the name makes Jo peer up, the skin between her brows pulling together and she can feel it tightening her face. “You know about her?”

“I do my reading,” Eddie counters. “I mean, you made the track team and you’re blowing everyone out of the water. You don’t give anyone time to eat your dust. I’m just curious about the name. When you got paraded around at the end of your last meet, and you showed me the certificate said ‘Esmeralda’.”

“Too bad they didn’t print Bambi, huh?”

Eddie lets a light tuft of laughter escape his chest. He never thought he’d even admit when he called Jo Bambi a few months back that he wanted it to stick. He halfway expected Jo to correct him then, or more accurately tell him to fuck off. But now it seems she’s taken a liking to it. He likes having that name for her, that's just his. No one else dares to use it. 

“My middle name is Joselyn.”

“Esmeralda Joselyn Jones. Phew, how did all of that fit on the birth certificate?”

“Just barely,” Jo returns quietly. They cut through the art and music hallway to the gymnasium and just off to the side are another set of doors that lead out the back side of the school. They’re careful as they cross from paved pathways to the wooded areas. A few feet in is the bench and table hidden just enough in the trees that they’re covered but still close enough to make it back to the building as the classes switch. 

Jo only really realizes that she’s been holding hands with Eddie until she slips her bag down off her shoulder. She takes in the sight of Eddie’s fingers threaded through hers. She’s not sure how she missed it. But now that she's cognizant of it, she likes the weight, the way he holds tightly but is not quite crossing the line into a full on squeeze. Jo places her bag onto the table and then moves to sit next to the bag on top. Her action causes their hands to separate. It’s a slow unravel and then Jo’s hoisting herself up on the table and Eddie’s in front of her. If he takes one step, their denim cladded jeans would touch. 

“So Jo? It’s a shortened version of your middle and last names?” Eddie asks. He maintains the twelve inches between them. 

“Yep. But I think it’s cool now that Flo Jo’s on the scene. Like I could carry a piece of her if I keep at this.”

“You’re insane on that field,” Eddie starts. “First of all, I’m shocked that you invited me to a meet, but I am glad to see you race. It only feels right after you came to support Corroded Coffin to bring our audience up to 5 drunks and one sober. But I mean it. You’re like a ghost. One second you’re there at the start and the next you’re done, crossing the finish line.”

Jo shrugs, though her cheeks do warm at the praise. “I’m not that fast.”

“Could’ve fooled me. What’s your goal with track and field? You’ve joked about the Olympics, I think you could make it.”

“I want running to take me as far as it can. I’ve been doing this since I could walk. I mean why not let it take me further. It’s like you and music.”

Eddie scoffs and then takes a half step back. “Me and music--it’s not the same.”

Jo balks at the comment leaning forward as Eddie continues a small shuffle backwards. “Eddie, you’re brilliant on the guitar. I mean, the best I’ve ever seen.” 

“Jo, you and track can actually go somewhere. You’ve got recruiters coming to Hawkins. I mean fucking Hawkins, Indiana where we’ve got dying downtowns and malls that burn down. My band and I play at The Hideout. We’re just, like, babies. It’s not the same. I know we have to start somewhere. But like, you’ve already got the momentum.”

 Jo jumps from the table and takes Eddie by his elbow to spin him around. When he’s facing her, she reaches up to take a light hold of his chin. “Just because you’re not where you want to be now doesn’t mean you won’t get there. Corroded Coffin absolutely shreds and will go places.”

“You have to say that.”

“I don’t have to say shit. And I never say things I don’t mean.”

The brush of her fingers makes Eddie’s spine tingle just a little. “You mean that?”

“What did I just say?”

It’s here, with them toe to toe that Eddie takes in the depth to her brown eyes. It’s obvious it’s always been a dark cool brown that’s swallowed her irises. But Eddie’s never really had a moment to appreciate them like this until now. He likes the game of hunting her pupil from the rich brown. He likes watching the blink and the sweep of her lashes hiding and unveiling her eyes. He travels the sight down over her nose, noticing the moles decorated across her cheeks and then down to her lips. And there, when he watches the gloss of her lips sparkle, he forgets his smart comment in return. Would she let him? 

“You’re going to have to repeat that,” Eddie whispers. “Because I’m totally distracted right now.”

“Distracted, is that so? By what?” Jo whispers in return. Her hands have slipped down down the sides of his jacket, and threading behind his back to hold Eddie close. 

Eddie’s gentle when he taps a finger right next to Jo’s lips. “By the thought of kissing you.”

“I think you should.”

“Should?”

“Yeah, I think you should kiss me.” It comes out with a rush of confidence. But the second the sentence leaves Jo mouth she’s grateful for the mints she always keeps in her bag for the after lunch classes and slightly worried that Eddie’s going to think she’s being way too forward. Would it scare him off?

“As you wish,” Eddie returns before closing the distance between them. The gloss is tacky. It’s clear that Jo snuck a mint sometime between the pizza slice and now. But the softness of her lips sets Eddie’s gut on fire. He cups her cheek with one hand and the other tightens around her waist. 

Jo’s not that much shorter than Eddie, only about three inches or so. But she still stretches up into the kiss and her head feels like it’s spinning. But she likes it. She wants nothing more than to stay suspended in the feeling of almost falling, of almost tipping over, of almost cross eyed vision. The kiss ends slowly. Jo pulls back first but Eddie chases down one and then two more kisses before he pulls back as well.  

“It’s going to suck if I wake up and this is all just a dream. I mean, a good dream, finally for once. But I’m going to be pissed,” Eddie offers, dropping his forehead to Jo’s. 

“Good thing it’s not just a dream.”  Jo laughs just a little when they separate a little. She reaches up to try and clear the gloss left on his lips. 

“No, no, leave. It’s going to make my lips soft and it smells,” Eddie rolls his lips up to nose, “is it strawberry?”

Jo nods, her grin lifting up her cheeks. “Yes, it’s strawberry. It came in this set that Erica and I split.”

“Erica?”

“Lucas’ younger sister.”

“Wait--you hang out with Sinclair and his sister?”

“News flash, Eddie, the handful of Black people do have to stick together in this town.”

“I didn’t-no, not like that. I’m just shocked, that’s all.” Eddie takes another sniff of the lip gloss and that causes both of them to explode into deep laughter. “Stop. It smells really good.”

“I’ll get you some of your own then,” Jo offers. “How does that sound?”

“Sounds like a deal, Jo. Sounds like a good deal.”

HOW THEY WOULD PLAY ANIMAL CROSSING + WITH THEIR S/O

characters: kenma, atsumu, akaashi

warnings: a bit of swearing :p

post note: so it’s been 6 years since i played ac :( so i just recalled the things that ac features usually had, pls tell me if i mentioned something wrong ! and reblogs are highly appreciated!

KENMA KOZUME

you can’t tell me that kozume doesn’t daily grind? he probably would spend all day just catching fishes and foils around his island

he wouldn’t pay too much attention decorating his island though, he will just put everything in one place so he can see that it’s there ??

he usually completes his task but tend to get bored so he’s just free styling whenever he’s playing

actually likes tom nook, even though he’s almost broke from paying his debts

his island can look neat at some point because you would encourage him to put a little bit more design to it.

doesn’t care about the design of his villager’s house but he’ll still talk to them because it’s part of the game after all.

his character always goes for a comfortable look, like sweaters and sweats ‘cause he thinks it’s nice to have a miniature character of him.

you once gave him a custom design sweater and trust me, he never took it off <3

has a little corner of his island to drop off bells for you to receive whenever you drop by his island.

one time he dropped 20k bells and you cried for hours

eventually, kuroo would try to steal the bells and kenma threatened him that he’ll block the shit out of him ( and he did lmao )

he absolutely LOVES it when you update him about the new tiny details you placed on your island, he thinks it adorable <3

because kozume usually likes to play animal crossing at night, both of you would stay up late to do such things

this always leads to midnight walks across either your town or his, nonetheless he finds it pretty relaxing when you play with him while he tries to keep up to your enthusiasm over the game

ATSUMU MIYA

this mf is annoying as hell, he prolly doesn’t know how the game works

“ angel! why’d they talk like that? am i on the wrong settings or — “

he can’t even catch fish ...

spends all his bells to the able sisters to get new fancy clothing and he tried making a design for himself but it didn’t turned out as great :/

so focused at talking to his villagers, it’s like how he’s talking to real life people ??

he’ll show off any kind of rare and expensive stuff that he got and maybe even shove his switch to your face

his island would look kinda messy at first but it gets better once you actually explore more, that’s because he likes to kinda surprise you and see your reaction at first 🙄

he always prepares a red carpet for you to walk on whenever you visit to feel how special you are even in games, however he removes it INSTANTLY if osamu and suna comes to tease him about it.

i can see his island theme having the color palette of yellow, beige and white, maybe a tad bit of maroon as well.

LOOOVES hyping you up !! when he sees you wearing a new hat, clothing or having new decors around your island, he’ll always have the best reactions to appreciate your work !

picnic dates are a thing with him !! he picked a nice spot to place the picnic decors to watch the sunset, it even has trees and flowers surrounding it for you to enjoy. ( i’m sobbing )

exchanging gifts and letters were always a thing ever since atsumu learned how to write postcards. it also happens once a week so prepare yourself for some fun stuff <3

he’ll sometimes write sweet messages but often it’s just bad jokes that still makes you laugh at some point.

AKAASHI KEIJI

let’s hear it from the best animal crossing player of all time !!!

plays animal crossing like a pro, and can manage to pay his debt while designing his island better than you ( JUST SAYING 😳 )

he likes taking his time while playing it, he doesn’t usually use time travel unless he really needs to.

his favorite part about playing it is how the music changes as the time passes, it really relaxes him after a day of work + bonus relaxing points if he plays with you !

his island’s color palette would include different shades of brown, beige, white, gray and maybe a bit of baby blue

his island looks so neat and organize! he’ll definitely have those nicely designed coffee shop with a library next to it ( it makes you want to quit tbh )

lowkey excited whenever he sees a balloon with a present floating in air or whenever he sees a bottle w/ a letter on the beach

he literally just appreciates every single thing and detail in the game

MUSEUM. DATES. ARE. HIS. THING !!!

he often lets you visit his museum to look how far he’s gone by collection his fishes, butterflies and fossils.

and he’s highkey proud of it

always takes couple pictures near the aquarium and the !!! butterfly house !!! while doing cute poses and he’ll eventually make it his lock screen ( it’s too cute for him )

he would make a waterfall area that’s actually nicely built and he also placed it with his pastel colored flowers.

he also prepared a diner set that’s close to the waterfall so it would look so ethereal at night because of how romantic and peaceful it looks :(

he gives so much effort when designing areas and making clothes for you in particular.

and he would always invite you whenever he’ll have meteor showers because it’s a moment where you both wish on shooting stars with the most heavenly scenery <//3

[grayintogreen]

It’s been a day at work and the only thing my brain has been consumed with are Thoughts of This Fucking Arc and Lucien, so here we go again.

One of the things that fascinates me is that I’m almost CERTAIN that Lucien and Molly have the same base stat block (barring Nonagon advantages which definitely bulk him up) because Lucien’s charisma operates on the same level of Molly’s- it’s not as high as he wishes/thinks it was and no matter how much charm he oozes, it always comes out insincere and a little too showy , and if I use that as a base, it’s pretty easy to assume the rest probably taps out at around the same. Except in one regard.

I think Wisdom and Intelligence are switched.

First of all, we KNOW Lucien has high intelligence for a number of reasons. He’s almost unbearably articulate. He can read in a language Molly definitely couldn’t since Molly was barely literate in COMMON. And, of course, there’s his speed in the astral sea + the fact that he’s successfully set Intuit Charges MULTIPLE times, which means he has to have a stacked Int (some of this is likely because being the Nonagon gave him a bonus to it, since it’s the most useful stat in Cognouza).

But knowing all of this, we also know that he has actively FAILED two survival checks (which rely on wisdom). He also very clearly can’t read people worth a shit (likely because he lives in his own ass). Molly, on the other hand, was good at reading people.

Now this is fascinating to me, because this is probably a nature vs nurture thing again- the Claret Orders kinda have the same vibe as the Cobalt Soul in that they are fucking nerds who can kill you, and Molly was surrounded by barely literate circus folk who prefer to read people, rather than books, since that’s where the money is. 

Lucien seems to have based everything on being smart and charming and that’s why his charm comes off as way more culty and self-important than Molly’s, even when it’s the same exact style of charm. Lucien isn’t trying to sell you on what YOU want- he’s trying to sell you on what HE wants by talking super pretty and fancy and dramatically to the point where you’re like well shit this guy knows what he’s all about, even if he does have a kind of a Vibe.

Molly, on the other hand, bases his charm on what people WANT to hear, which can be just as ineffective when people suspect they’re being pandered at, but is ultimately way more considerate. It isn’t about what Molly wants, even if he is getting SOMETHING out of the transaction. It’s about what will make the other person happy if he manages to con them. The con is a con, but it’s partially benevolent in its style, whereas Lucien is just collecting points to his ego.

Once again, I am telling you that the Molly and Lucien Argument is as simple and as complicated as this- the base is the same. It’s how they used what they have and why and how that changed the kind of people they are that makes them so different.

And now I’ve watched episode 3 of Walker because of reasons. (You guys asked, that’s reasons.) #1

My review of episode 1 got a lot of positive feedback and a lot of you asked me to cover more episodes! But my review of episode 2 didn’t get much feedback at all. Possibly because episode 2 was boring and you can only make so many funny jokes about the glowy wife before it gets stale, so I get it, it’s fine. It was boring for me too. Hopefully this gets funnier! I actually have high expectations for this episode, since apparently it introduces NotDean. You know, the childhood friend who Walker loves like a brother and is the Han Solo to Walker’s Luke Skywalker. Like, what. Stop comparing Jared Padalecki characters to Like Skywalker 2021 challenge. *insert you keep using that word...*

Anyway, in case you missed it - here are all my reviews of Walker episodes, in chronological order.

EDIT: *screeching* GUYS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS. YOU CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS. Read to the end, don’t stop at the padalacting. I’m begging you asdfghjkl

Alright. Let’s start this. Actually I have a thought before we start. You know, I was thinking that episode 3 of Supernatural is when Dean gets genuinely introduced as a person. Sera Gamble and Raelle Tucker were the first to give Dean the personality that stuck and developed into the character that we love. Dead In The Water is, not coincidetally, the episode that sold Supernatural to me. The first couple of episodes were weirdly compelling, without which I wouldn’t have continued watching, but you must understand that I’d never watched horror before. It really wasn’t my genre. I was just watching on the assumption that it would get better at some point, and if it didn’t I’d stop. But Dead In The Water got me. Because that’s when we’re really shown Dean for the first time. The rest is history and now we’re here.

So I wonder what will happen in episode 3 of Walker. Is it going to magically pull a Dean out of the hat and get me?

Let’s start. The Texan countryside. The yellow, glowy light tells us this is a flashback. Closeups of Jared and Gen. He is somewhat concerned. He’s at the wheel of a car, still on the street - a red Mustang. Unlike the red Mustang of the horseman War, it is a convertible. Fun fact: a Mustang was Kripke’s original idea for the Winchesters’ car, but then switched to the Impala for body-in-the-trunk reasons. I am the 😬 emoji.

Actually guys I need to show you a couple Jared faces. I think they’re supposed to be purposely comedic faces, but honestly this is just how he acts normally. I promise I am not coming in this with a bias towards Jared’s acting. I just observe, with my eyes. He was actually good in many Supernatural episodes.

I just can’t see Cordell Walker. I’m just seeing Jared and Gen Padalecki delivering what is a somewhat padalecki acting in front of my eyes and I swear I had to close the video in the middle of this scene and start over because of a sudden attack of second-hand embarrassment.

Let’s continue

Basically, Walker is trying to drive the Mustang, but he is not good at it and the car stops after two meters. He feels exactly how I feel when I watch Walker.

“Damn it!” Jared exclaims, jaredly. I think that this scene is supposed to be set Many Years Ago, because Walker is wearing a backwards cap and Emily has her hair styled like Bad Janet but straighter, which actually says a lot about this show somehow.

God, I wish I could gif the entire scene to show you guys the padalacting. I mean, I could, but ain’t nobody got time for that. Have a bit of the scene.

For some reason she puts this thing on the dashboard, because he “puts your mind at ease”.

He makes more Jared faces, which we’ll skip because I don’t want to spend 7 hours on this.

Wait look at this shot of the car (with some bonus Jared face).

Why does this look filmed by your dad with a videocamera on Christmas afternoon after you received a toy car as a present? I suddenly have a newfound admiration for the directors who did Impala shots on Supernatural because it would seem car shots are not that easy to make. Maybe this is why Supernatural always filmed at night with a black car.

Guys I am telling you, if you need to watch one scene of Walker in your life, watch this scene. It’s so embarrassing. I almost decided to gif the moment of the car going and commenting “nyoom” but the Impala does not deserve this.

Anyway.

Listen, if I have to see thing thing over and over, you have to see it too.

He’s brought the damn thing onto a new cop truck while on a stakeout with Ramirez, who is just as happy about it as any normal person would.

I think they’re outside a strip club, judging from the posters outside.

He keeps quoting lines from the scene with his wife, which is sort of weird since Ramirez is not his love interest. Yet. Oh no. Don’t. Don’t do that. Don’t even thinking of doing that. Ramirez has a perfectly fine boyfriend.

Walker says that since they’re sitting there just waiting for the suspect’s movements or whatever, they should use that time to get to know each other, like “favorite movies, the teams you root for, middle names”.

Ramirez is me.

He’s like ~let’s bond~ and Ramirez goes immediately for the jugular and asks how Stella (his daughter) is doing. “Wow” he says. He says he and Stella are “in a good place, I think”. You’re not and we’re definitely not. This is the bad place.

Basically, they’re trying to live in a bubble of ignoring her upcoming court date for the marijuana thing. Ramirez says that the easy route is not a good idea. He’s like, are you speaking from experience? Basically they keep implying Ramirez also has a ~bad girl past, which I can absolutely live without.

Aaand now we see the inside of the strip club. The suspect is there, a lady with a Latinoamerican name, apparently bisexual because she’s surrounded by a woman and a man in underwear, the woman is touching her, it leaves no doubt about it. 😬 Enter the stripper on stage, who captures the lady’s attention.

The stripper is a man. Dressed as a slutty cowboy. There’s glitter.

Yeah, you read it right.

Oh no. No I absolutely change my mind. If you have to watch one scene of Walter, it must be the slutty glitter cowboy stripper.

There’s. There’s a. There’s a slutty glitter cowboy stripper.

The CW could do slutty glitter cowboy strippers and Dean Winchester is not there?!

I repeat, they killed Dean Winchester and then did slutty glitter cowboy strippers in Walker?!

This is a travesty. This is an outrage.

Crime. Pure crime.

Listen, I’m not optimizing these gifs, take these super quick gifs, I can’t possibly spend my night optimizing glitter cowboy stripper gifs. But you need to see.

What’s the target demographic of this show? Texan housewives? The gays? Are they trying to test all the waters and see what happens? Is Walker going to become about gay people and Jared’s character a secondary character in his own show?

Wait

*sweats* Are they really trying to replicate Supernatural in everything after all?

The bisexual lighting is there and all.

The guy in skimpy underwear is distracting. I can’t believe yesterday I saw a Jared interview where he said he couldn’t watch Supernatural with his kids because of all the violence but Walker is a show you can watch with kids. I mean, aside from this scene, Walker is definitely more kid-friendly than Supernatural for obvious reasons. But hey, since Supernatural already was non-kid-friendly, they could have at least put more dudes in skimpy underwear.

You know what, I think they’re just aiming for Texan housewives.

“You’re hotter than Austin asphalt” suspect lady tells the stripper. You know. Something normal people say.

(If Texan people actually speak like this, do NOT tell me.)

Guys, we’re only four minutes in. It’s midnight. I will continue tomorrow...

*screams into the void* These have been the four wildest minutes of my life.
