all these lines are from my specialest boygirl Tane - my Knight Commander OC! these are from different scenes across all acts of the game, in chronological order: (spoiler-free)

“Stop stealing my kills!”

“Have you considered that I’m the better hunter between us two?”

“I’ve got your back, and you’ve got mine. Just like always.”

“I am having fun.”

“You want me to execute her, is that it?”

“Stay with me, and I’ll be safe.”

“We should’ve taken his curtains and made you a fancy robe out of it.”

“Seelah, please. I’d rather you make time for a friend than the illustrious Knight Commander of the Fifth Crusade.”

“I’d like to see you tickle a demon to death.”

“I think I’m too young for your chief.”

“Not a single day goes by that I don’t think about them. I wonder where they are now. How they’re doing.”

“Don’t— Don’t worry about me. We need to free them.”

“They want a spectacle, and that’s what I’ll give them.”

“If all else fails, I’m the backup plan.”

“You know, it’s really sexy when you talk about your ex while we’re in bed.”

So my plan after finishing Wyneer's current build + his Survivor and Fool of April skins was to make his Guest of Honour skin, since it's fairly simple to add and skinning Wyneer's masks is a lot of work!

However, upon posing people with the question "On a scale from one to ten, how disappointed would you be if Wyneer's next skin was Guest of Honour?" I recieved responses such as: "If you did that, I would cry" which isn't really what I asked but OK.

So. If you had to pick one. Would you prefer to see his Triumphant or Moonbound skin added to his mod in the far future?

(PLEASE BE AWARE THAT HOW WELL THE SKINS TRANSLATE TO THE REAL GAME IS SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS)

Rambling under the cut.

You might be wondering why I'm even asking. Well, designing 10+ masks for each skin is a gigantic pain in the ass. It takes a lot of time before I even start making sprites, so I don't want to waste my time.

Here's some questions you're probably wondering.

Are the skins going to look exactly like this in the game?

ABSOLUTELY NOT but I will try my best to make them 1:1. Moonbound will look the closest to his portrait art.

Will the one I don't vote for never get added?

Never say never but please be nice to me.

Which one will be easier on you?

Probably Moonbound.

Which one has the coolest extra features?

Probably Triumphant, but I'm not going to tell you what they are.

Are you still planning to add a secondary skin to these skins? I saw one for Triumphant Jet Black Mask before!

It's planned. Moonbound's paired mask is Radiant Face. Triumphant's paired mask is Jet Black Mask (and Ink Black Mask, if/when that mask gets added).

...Well why the hell would I vote for Moonbound then?

Triumphant Wyneer doesn't wear masks. He wears headbands/crowns instead. Moonbound Wyneer wears masks, so his masks have unique "lunar" designs. Isn't that nifty?

A surprising yet heartwarming amount of people don't like the skins where Wyneer has his mask off (which is also kind of fucked up to think about now that I'm writing that down).

bc he looks cool???? tf u mean

I wanna see the mask designs for one skin, but I'd rather pick the other. Will I see what the one I don't vote for would have looked like? :(

I'd like to draw them someday.

I'm one of the few people who has played with/as Wyneer. If his Triumphant skin removes his mask, then [question about how this will effect particular parts of his mod]?

it is probably a secret. do trust that i've though about it and resigned myself to this hell anyway

I don't like either of these skins and prefer a different skin from his ArtFight ref sheet...

That is not a question.

honestly love anything you write but bottom! alexia is the best love it

Alexia Putellas| With all the time in the world|

___________________________________

I'm definitely more of a tits gal but there's just something about how good Alexia's ass looks in the kit shorts I start foaming at the mouth every time I see her.

Part two of Wrong place, wrong time

TW: degradation, ass play, strap on use, overstimulation

___________________________________________

You always keep your promises, Alexia knows this. That's why she can't keep herself from squirming in her seat, she can't wait to go home and see just how you'll make good on your promise. She's already wet just from thinking about it.

You try not to smirk when you notice her constant squirming. You loved when Alexia got in this mood. You decide to tease her by calmy placing your hand on her thigh. Alexia sucks in a harsh breath and closes her eyes. That's not the kind of reaction that you were hoping for so you slowly trail your hand onwards in her inner thigh and squeeze.

Alexia whines and bites her lip, her legs instinctively closing and trapping your hand in place. You smirk when Alexia softly pleads for you when your hands tease her clothed slit. Suddenly you pull your hand away and Alexia looks at you with tears of frustration in her eyes. You don't pay her any mind as you continue driving. From the corner of your eyes you see Alexia moving one of her hands to rub her cunt through the layers of fabric.

"Move. Your. Hand."

Alexia gasps and you don't know if it's because of your assertive tone or how her hand grazed her clit. Alexia knows you only use that tone when you plan on being rough.

"I won't say it again Alexia."

She moves her hand away as if she's been burned and grips the seat tightly. By the time you're pulling in the drive way Alexia is panting like she's just played a full 90 minute match. You chucke at her eagerness and the way she almost run out of the car to open the front door.

You entered the house slowly, not bothering to keep up with Alexia's eagerness. You walked up the stairs to the bedroom and you were immediately pulled to the bed by Alexia. She was already naked, her nipples perked and her pussy soaked when she climbed on top of you.

"You're going from bad to worse today baby." You slowly start trailing your hands up her body while you talk, relishing in the way she shivers when the tips of your fingers graze her ribs.

"First you drag me away to fuck you in a crouded stadium and then" you pull on a tight nipple and Alexia yelps in surprise "we almost get caught."

She tries to grind down on you to get some friction but you grip her waist and keep her steady where she is. "And now you're not even waiting for my orders, jumping on me like a fucking slut."

Alexia is looking down at her thighs with flushed cheeks. You slap her ass hard making the captain jolt and moan loudly. Alexia finally looks at you with unshead tears glossing her eyes as you roughly play with the soft fless of her ass. She starts rubbing her thighs together desperate for any kind of friction.

When one of your hands drops a little lower and lightly teases the tight ring of her asshole Alexia whines and drops her weight forward. You kept moving your hands careful not to give her what she wants just yet, instead you focus on her sweet pants and moans echoing right next to your ear.

"Y/N..."

You grin when you hear Alexia call for you desperately but you didn't change the way your hands moved. You kept kneeding away at her plump ass and you moved your head so you can suck bruises on her neck. Alexia was dripping wet and pathetically pleading you to touch her but you were busy trying to mark every inch of her beautiful taned skin.

"I'm sorry. Y/N, I'm sorry, I-I promise I won't do it again. Please just fuck me!"

You hummed low in your throat and moved closer to her ear. You bite her ear lobe and she whimpers making you slyly smirk.

"You want to get fucked, is that right you whore?"

Alexia sobbed at your words and nodded quickly.

"Please! I want your mouth, your fingers, anything!"

Suddenly you lifted her off you and pushed her down on the bed. Alexia watched with hungry eyes as you moved to your closet to grab your favourite strap on. She resisted the urge to touch herself while she watched you put the harness on. You confidently walked to the bed and Alexia gulped, looking up to meet your hard stare.

"Turn around, ass up."

Alexia does as you told her, as quickly as humanly possible. You take in a sharp breath when she raises her ass and you finally see her dripping pussy, her hole clenching around nothing and her clit throbbing. You drag the fake cock along her slit, gathering as much of her juices as you can before playfully bumping her clit with the head of the strap on. Alexia's knees almost give out at the sudden contact and you chuckle quietly at her pathetic state. Without wasting any more time you push the head against her hole and watch as Alexia greedily sucks you in deeper. The captain drops her head on the mattress as she tries fo muffle her loud cries of pleasure.

You thread a hand through her hair and pull back roughly against the blonde locks raising Alexia's head.

"Don't try to be quiet, we both know that's a lost cause, you're too much of a slut to keep your mouth shut."

Alexia whimpers at your words. You decide you've waited enough so in one rough thrust you push the sntire length inside her. Alexia moans loudly, her back arching and pushing her ass further into your hips. You didn't give Alexia any time to recover before you started pounding roughly into her, your hand gripping her waist so hard it will certainly bruise. Alexia is crying out every time you hit her sweet spot her thighs shaking and hands gripping the sheets tightly. Your hand leaves her hair and spanks her ass and Alexia's knees give out from the blinding pleasure. You grip her thighs and use them as leverage to fuck Alexia into the mattress.

"Fuck, I'm close!"

You grin widely and bring your hand under Alexia's body to rub at her clit and the captain screams in pleasure. Soon her thighs shake violently and Alexia is left panting on the bed but you don't stop the brutal pace you've set up. Alexia whines softly and tries to move further up the bed to avoid the overwhelming pleasure but she fails because your strong hand is still holding her in place.

"What, I thought you wanted to get fucked."

Alexia whimpers and shakes her head as a second orgasm approaches.

"S' too much. Y/N... please I can't."

Instead of paying Alexia any mind you put one of your legs up on the bed and use the new position to fuck into her with more strength. One of your hands comes down on her ass again and soon Alexia is shaking from the blinding pleasure.

"Oh so now you can't, huh? A few minutes ago you were willing to let the whole team fuck you."

Alexia whines at the reminder of just how much she wanted you to fuck her but she doesn't have time to dwell on it because she's coming a second time and she sees white.

When Alexia opens her eyes she's lying next to you on the bed all fresh and clean while you're rubbing soft circles on her back. Alexia goes to move but she's so sore she winced in pain. You smile and place a soft kiss on her head.

"I always keep my promises don't I, love?"

Dream On. . .

Narancia is 19 here.Minors DNI. Fem!Reader. English isn't my first language

Also, first time writing hcs, so sorry if it sucks ass

Narancia Ghirga x Fem!Reader

Just a few little hcs for the reader pegging Narancia

Introducing pegging to him is something you'll need to do slowly

Certainly, he loves you wholeheartedly, but it's important to keep in mind that his childhood experiences have left him with trust issues

So, to experience this, Narancia has to trust you quite a bit

Getting back to the topic, you had already had sex, but you wanted to bring your intimacy to another level, and in the best way, giving him pleasure<3

Besides, he's not a serious guy during sex, quite the opposite, pretty damn goofy

Is also open to trying new things

So now, you were both in bed, one of your hands were fisting his cock, while two of your fingers of your other hand went inside his ass

Those fingers will be looking for his prostate. When you touch it, his adorable high-pitched moans will echo through the room<3

Nara isn't a very patient guy, so he might want you to start now, but on the other hand… it turns out that he's also a little nervous about this, since he's never experienced that before

But the way your fingers prepared his ass made him sure he wanted to do this, with nothing but his everything, his love, you♡

Once you proceeded, your dominant hand again grabbed his dick, and you pushed your dildo into his hole, which was covered in lube, and begging to be filled

His moans and groans are simply irresistible, eagerly beckoning for your attention and begging to be satisfied to the fullest with your strap

As you lean closer to him, you push your body against his, your delicate hands grasping onto his member and eagerly stroking it. As you continue to shower his neck and jaw with affectionate kisses and love marks, your movements become more rapid

Please praise him! He loves nothing but to be praised, my poor baby<3 Just tell him he's a very good boy, ok? :((

If you were wondering what pace he likes, I have to tell you that you better do it hard and fast

From his facial expression, you guessed that he was close, so you bent down a little, and took his cock into your mouth, which reached the deepest part of your throat. That drove him crazy, and increased the volume of his moans. He didn't care if everyone heard how much he loved you

After enduring enough, he releases his essence into your mouth. You tasted his exquisite nectar, as your dildo abandoned his ass. He complains about feeling empty, causing a giggle to leave your lips. He was just so cute

You lavish him with even more attention, leaving behind tender kisses and rubbing his taned skin with orange-scented oil, causing him to practically purr in delight <3. After cuddling with you, for a while, with his head on your chest, he quickly falls into a deep sleep with a wide, silly grin on his face

But girl, plot twist, he's a switch, and the next morning you'll be the one screaming under him~

Thank you sorry to bother have a nice day

No apologies needed!! I am very happy to write for you and those are both excellent prompts! For this first one I have Elbert's, Al's is in the works right now, so I hope you enjoy!

Solace

Elbert Greetia x f!Reader Prompt: On the Beach at Sunset Genre: Smut | Explicit Content | NSFW | MDNI (with a hint of angst) CW: *mention of death*, biting, oral (f receiving), semi-public sex, creampie WC: 2.7k A/N: a part of @xxsycamore's Sexy Ikemen Summer CCC

Something about the mission last night seems to have really bothered Elbert. You’d been off working with William and Harrison on a reconnaissance job, while Elbert was working with Roger and Alfons. When he had returned later on in the night, Elbert’s face was twisted in a deep frown and he said nothing, only pulling you into his arms and holding you tightly throughout the rest of the night.

When you awoke the next morning, you noticed that there was still worry creasing his sleeping brows and his breathing was becoming rapid and stuttered. Suddenly his eyes flew open, deep sapphire pools brimming with tears as he looks around franticly. When his eyes land on you he chokes out a sigh and pulls you tighter against him, burying his face against your hair and deeply inhaling your scent. Unsure what to do, you run your hands over his back and whispering soothing words until his body stops trembling.

Elbert pulls back to look at you and his lips quiver slightly.

“Elbert, will you tell me what’s wrong?” You whisper, searching his eyes for any hint of what’s bothering him.

He merely shakes his head, closing his eyes and sighing deeply. His forehead rests against yours and you think to yourself of ways to try and ease his sadness.

Before long, there’s an insistent knocking at the door followed by Alfons’ rushed explanation that they really must be going as they have several matters to attend to today. Ruefully, Elbert releases you from his arms, his eyes never leaving you for more than a few seconds as he dresses and prepares to leave.

“Elbert,” you say as his hand grips the doorknob. His sorrowful eyes are still dulled with unspoken emotion and you feel your heart twist. You’ll need to do something about that… such a miserable state of mind doesn’t suit your beautiful lover.

You realize after a beat that he is still awaiting your words, standing patiently with his hand never moving from the door. Blushing you hurriedly finish your idea.

“Would you be open to going out together this evening? I’d like to spend some time alone with you.”

Elbert’s eyes drop and you nervously chew your lip, perhaps the problem was something out in London that reminded him of his past trauma…

“Okay,” He finally says, his low, quiet voice like music to your ears.

You smile brightly at him and see the corner of his mouth curl into a small smile as well.

“I’ll have everything ready to go, so don’t you worry about a thing! Just be ready to spend time together when you get back,” you instruct, beaming at him as your heart begins to flutter with anticipation.

It takes a little while for you to come up with the right idea of something the two of you can do together, but still having some privacy should things become heated between you. It had been a few days since the last time you’d made love and your mind has been endlessly searching for ways to indicate that you wanted more without coming across as too pushy.

In the end, you decide a nice picnic out at the secluded beach that had become a sanctuary for the pair of you, so it only seems fitting to go there to spend one on one time together.

Just as you put the finishing touches on your basket of goods, you sneak out to the waiting carriage, leaving a note for Elbert to join you at your secret spot when he returns. By the time you’ve managed to set everything up, the sun has begun its descent and you wait anxiously for your lover to arrive.

The breeze billowing over the ocean carries cool droplets against your face as you take a seat on the large blanket you’ve laid out on the sand. You let your eyes drift closed as you listen to the sound of the waves and the contrasting heat of the sun and cool of the breeze against your skin.

In the midst of your relaxation, you hear the tell-tale crunch of sand beneath your feet and you’re on your feet in an instant, rushing over to Elbert whose eyes have gone wide with surprise at your sudden approach.

“I’m so glad to see you!” You shout, leaping into his arms and hugging him tightly as you hear him chuckle ever so softly by your ear.

“I’m glad to see you as well,” he replies, returning the hug.

“I made us a picnic!” You declare, remembering the assortment of food you’d gathered and set on the blanket. You grab Elbert’s hand and tug him over to the awaiting setup, grinning when he sits down and promptly pulls you into his lap.

“El… We ought to eat, don’t you think?” You giggle. Your laughter is cut off when you feel his lips against the back of your neck.

“I don’t want to eat anything but you,” he murmurs, planting a searing kiss against your skin. Instantly, you feel excitement pooling in your belly at the intimate gesture. You’d been craving his touch for a while and to be granted it now seems surreal.

The sky has taken on hues of orange and pink as the sun nearly completes it’s fall past the horizon.

“But I made your favorite kind of salad,” you protest, body tingling in response to his kisses. His breath ghosts over your neck and you shudder.

“I appreciate that. But as I said, I am only hungry for you right now.” Elbert’s words are quiet and husky and you can’t hold back a yelp of pain as his teeth sink into the flesh of your shoulder. The pain is sharp, but brief as you feel Elbert’s mouth move away almost instantly, glancing over your shoulder you can see his crystalline eyes appraising his work.

“Is that enough…” he muses, bringing one long, slender finger up to trace over the indents he’s left behind. After a moment he sighs and shakes his head. “It is not enough… I… I need more…”

His eyes move up to meet yours and you’re startled at the desperate heat that’s bloomed within his irises. The heat pooling in your belly seems to threaten to burst into flames under his searing gaze and you slide yourself off of his lap and turn to face him.

Before you’ve fully positioned yourself, his hands are buried in your hair and his lips come crashing over yours. There’s something so frantic and desperate about the way his lips work over yours, about how his tongue traces every inch of your mouth, as though he’s burning it all into his memory before it vanishes forever.

As much as you don’t want to, you push Elbert back just a bit and notice how his lips begin to quiver again and his eyes are beginning to well with tears.

“Elbert, what happened?” you murmur, cupping his cheeks with your hands and brushing his bangs back from where they’d fallen across his eyes.

He clenches his eyes shut and lets out a shaky breath.

“Last night. When we entered the trafficking warehouse… They’d killed all of the women and children they’d been holding and… there was a woman…” Elbert’s eyes flash open and his eyes express what his words cannot.

There was a woman who reminded him of me… You think to yourself, understanding washing over you as his earlier actions make much more sense. Instead of replying with words, you bring your lips to meet his, kissing him gently but firmly. This isn’t a kiss of passion, it’s a kiss of reassurance. You hold his head in place as you continue to kiss him, his tense shoulders finally beginning to drop as he melts into your embrace.

When you tentatively swipe your tongue over the seam of his lips, he seems all too eager to allow you entry, his mouth dropping open readily and a quiet moan rumbling from his throat as you trace your tongue over his.

The sound reminds you of just how aroused you had been just moments ago and you move yourself forward, straddling his lap as you deepen the kiss.

This change of positions may have been precisely what Elbert had been waiting for. As if signaled, his countenance changes quickly from a man grieving what may come to pass, to that of a man starved for touch. His hands roam over your body, his teeth catch your lower lip as he lets out a soft growl.

He pulls away from the kiss, tugging your blouse free from the skirt you’d worn, lifting it to expose your midriff before pushing you onto your back. You lay in front of him, the heat in your belly now fully ignited as you watch the way his eyes trail greedily over your exposed skin.

“You are so beautiful,” he whispers, leaning his face down just over your navel. When his tongue darts out and begins creating a wet path around your midsection your skin erupts into goosebumps, the setting sun no longer providing the warmth to combat the cool breeze.

“Elbert…” you whine, carding your fingers through his hair and gasping as he looks up at you through his impossibly long lashes.

The colors decorating his porcelain skin from the sunset seem to have painted him in such warmth and softness that you find yourself unable to look away from him. His gaze holds yours for a moment, his tongue still pressed firmly against your skin.

“Remove your clothing for me, please.” He murmurs, letting his eyes flutter closed, his beautiful lashes fanning over his cheeks slightly as he drops his mouth to your belly and sucks a dark mark just above your hip.

Still enraptured by his spell, you are unable to reply, but your hands do as you were told, slipping each button from its hold until your blouse falls open, exposing your undergarments which you pull away as well.

As you tug the clothing from your top half, Elbert’s hands join his mouth in exploration, each palm gliding up and down your newly exposed skin. As his hands brush over your waiting breasts, you arch into their warmth, drawing a moan from the man still suckling at the skin of your abdomen and leaving blooms of deep red and purple in his wake.

You squeeze your thighs together, chewing your lower lip to try and quiet yourself as his mouth catches the waist of your skirt and tugs it down just slightly. You’re so focused on trying to keep quiet that it takes you a moment to register that Elbert had sat back on his knees and is looking at you with a mildly confused look.

“You do not need to hold your voice back. We are alone here and I would like very much to hear you.”

You let out a heavy breath followed by a surprised squeal as Elbert yanks your skirt and underwear free in quick succession. You hardly have time to adjust before his face is buried between your legs, his mouth now massaging your slick entrance and causing you to gasp out his name.

The bridge of his nose brushes your clit as his tongue delves into your wetness, sending a jolt of electricity through you and forcing a cry of delight to spill from your lips as you buck up into him. The inferno blazing inside you demands more, and you curl your hands into his silky blonde hair, twisting your fingers around the locks as he groans against you. The sensation of his vocalizations sends another tremor through your body and your head falls back; mind growing hazy around the edges as his mouth continues to pleasure you.

“E-Elbert! Ngh… I… I need… Elbert I need you!” You cry out rocking your hips against his face until the pressure vanishes and a cry of desperation leaves your lips.

You raise your head, breath ragged and heavy, when you notice that he’s already stripped himself of his trousers, his erection bulging against his underwear as he removes the rest of his clothing. He grins softly at you, taking his time to finish undressing when he notices that you’re watching.

You stare breathlessly at him as his alabaster skin shimmers in the ever-fading sunlight. The beauty of this man never ceases to amaze you, and even now you’re stunned as his muscles move under his skin as his underwear is slowly removed.

Your voice cracks at the sight of his erection standing tall before you. It seems so unfair that even his cock would be so breathtakingly beautiful but you can’t help but stare in admiration and need as his hand begins to slowly move up and down his shaft.

“Please!” you hiss, rubbing your legs together in an attempt to find some relief from the overwhelming arousal flooding your veins.

Elbert lowers himself, pushing your knees apart with his own and settling between your legs. He lets out a sigh of pleasure as he slicks his tip against your folds, coating himself in your nectar before aligning himself with your entrance.

The world goes white around you as the bliss of his cock finally stretching you, filling you so perfectly, envelops your senses. You only begin to regain some semblance of the world around you when you hear his own groan of your name. He’s still, letting himself bask in your warmth for a moment before you notice his eyes flash open with the greedy desire that you’d grown so fond of.

“So beautiful.” He whispers, rocking his hips and letting his arms fall to either side of your shoulders. Each time he thrusts, his cock kisses deeper and deeper within your walls and brings sparks of ecstasy over your vision.

His movements begin to grow faster as his own need takes control.

“So beautiful. That is why you are mine. You are mine, only mine,” He chants in time with his thrusts, his body now glistening with a light sheen of sweat from his exertion and you turn your head just enough to reach his bicep where you latch your lips around his skin and suck deeply.

You hear him take a sharp breath at the contact, his pace becoming more and more harried as you trace your tongue over his salty skin and moan his name. Soon you feel the telltale sign of your impending climax and you throw your arms around his neck, pulling his body fully against yours and locking your legs around his hips. Your mouths meet in a blistering kiss as you feel your body reach its peak. Your mouth falls open as he slams into you again, voice choked with euphoria as you shatter around his cock. Your orgasm only intensifies as you hear Elbert’s breathing hitch and come out as a low groan of your name as he joins you in your state of bliss, his cock throbbing within your walls as you clench around him, drawing out both of your climaxes until all that either of you knows is the pleasure of each other’s body.

When your mind finally clears, you find yourself pulled close against Elbert, the sun now fully set and the stars blinking above you. Elbert’s eyes are closed and his face looks so peaceful and serene, the moonlight making him seem almost ethereal.

You lean your head forward and kiss his lips softly. He stirs a bit, one eye cracking open as you pull back and smile softly at him.

“Thank you,” he whispers, reaching a hand to cradle the side of your face.

You make a quiet confused hum and watch his lips curl slightly.

“Thank you for reassuring me that I still have you with me. I truly did need to spend time with you, and you planned an excellent outing.”

You nuzzle against his hand closing your eyes for a moment and savoring his warmth as you both bask in the afterglow of your lovemaking. You know that you’ll have to go back to the castle soon enough, but for right now, you fully intend to keep your Elbert to yourself.

ooooohhh ummm . kissing your lover in a moment of sheer joy for tane & lann .......... AND/OR (<- ignoring you sorry) ... biting your lover's lip amidst a kiss. for jae & isolde ? <3

it's tane/lann time <3 (lanne? tann? lantan?) (kiss prompts)

---

Tane used to think home is wherever she is, for a self-proclaimed hunter who never stayed in one place, never settled, always ready to run far, far away.

And then Irmangaleth takes her away into the depths of the arena, the Nahyndrian collar sapping away the last vestiges of her energy. Alone and isolated, just like she wanted ever since she stepped foot in the Abyss. The Nexus had provided no such opportunity with its cramped space and the Herald looming over her, disallowing damage (self-inflicted or not), and she misliked the way everyone fussed over her like she was some fragile little thing. Alone, in the bowels of Battlebliss, the collar feels like freedom.

She grits her teeth, staunchly refusing Zeklex’s offer of help. The seeds of freedom planted in the Fleshmarkets reminds her she has untapped strength, sourced from chaos and rage, from resentment that has taken root the moment she accepted the Knight Commander’s mantle on her shoulders. It wasn’t easy, facing off the reigning champion in the arena, and alone, she barely emerges victorious, not unscathed, yet secretly thankful for her sparring sessions with him aboveground. She misses it, truth be told.

In the few hours apart—six hours, twelve minutes, and thirty seconds, but who’s counting?—she misses a lot of things, she realises. Seelah’s forced guffaw at a sardonic joke, Daeran’s withering sneer in response (oh, but she knows of the warmth underneath), Woljif joining in with his ever-comedic timing, Arueshalae’s soft giggle (she genuinely thinks it’s funny), and, and, and,

Lann’s steady hand, his sharp wit, his dexterous and nimble arms—arms she runs towards like a loosed arrow, arms now wrapped around her, lifting her up as she collapses into him, her muscles bruised and fatigued. Later she might blame it on her adrenaline, that post-battle euphoria, heart hammering against ribs, but for now, she kisses him, unthinking and clumsy and probably ill-mannered (oh, Desna, everyone is staring at them, aren’t they?), melting into the steadfast bulwark of his body.

Nothing like she ever imagined: the way he kisses her back, breathing her in, the taste of reptilian scales and human skin, claws grasping at her nape, fingers digging in his biceps: a lifetime’s worth of yearning decanted from lungs to lungs. She emerges with a short gasp and buries herself in the crook of his neck. Maybe she’ll regret this later, the stray thought wanders, and the desire to flee rises, prickling beneath her skin, but she shrugs it off.

For the first time in a long time, she’s certain she won’t run away.

Our Dining Table Ep 5 Stray Thoughts

Last week, we learned that Yutaka was adopted into a bourgeois family that always made him feel excluded. His new brother was actively hostile to him, and continues to be so even today. Tane sensed Yutaka's feelings and tensed with him. Minoru knew something was wrong, but was unable to gently or directly help Yutaka.

However, we did get to see Yutaka and Minoru have an impromptu lunch date alone, and confirmed that Minoru is still smitten with Yutaka. Also, we finally made curry! Of course the dad got none.

This is currently my favorite show.

Ah, now we're going to focus on Minoru's childhood pains. They are not letting up.

Aw, Yutaka is pulling away and Minoru doesn't know how to hold on to him.

I am going to complain every week about the weird movement ghosting until it changes.

I really wish Minoru had sent that text.

Love how we see the dad eating with them in the intro but never in the show.

Minoru's gay confusion that a girl showed up at the restaurant looking for him was priceless.

I don't know about Nao. She says she wants to help with the family burden, but then looked instantly annoyed with Tane. Clearly she sees him as an obstacle to her romance.

Ohata is still sitting at the Hashimoto, Kayoko, and Fujisaki table of besties.

Oh, Tane. Kids aren't dumb. He can feel the sadness, and it's so endearing that he reached for a recipe their mom made for them. He may be 5, but he knows that food is love.

I love that they give Tane tasks appropriate for him with food prep.

I do want to make ramen fried rice now.

Oh, Minoru. I'm so sorry for what you've suffered, and I hope you can find something resembling a partner and companion in Yutaka. You deserve someone who can love you and your family.

I like how they soften the image whenever Minoru reminisces about his mom.

Oh, the lovely dad spoiled the moment. I want them to talk about their troubles so badly!

Hey, the magic did work. Yutaka is out of his funk. The ramen did multiply their happiness.

Don't you tease me about progress at Christmas, Our Dining Table, if you're not going to deliver! I will go watch Kinou Nani Tabeta if you let me down!

Charisma House - Superhuman Sharehouse Story “Charisma” - #106 one day

Please read alongside listening to the drama track on Youtube.

Let me know if I missed something!

TL note:

おしるこ (oshiruko) is a traditional Japanese dessert made out of azuki beans, served with mochi.

透明感 (toumeikan) means transparency, but can also be used to mean fair skin.

ふたば通りのたね庵 (futaba-dori no tane-an) is the taiyaki store “tane-an” on the street “futaba-dori”. Futaba means seed leaves/sprout, and tane means seed of a planet. There’s probably some kind of leafy word reference here, I think…? But I am not going to risk it, so it’s mostly kept as is.

Iori: Fumiya-san, what do you want to eat for dinner tonight?

Fumiya: Oshiruko

Iori: I’m asking for dinner.

Fumiya: ….It’s cold so won’t hotpot just do?

Iori: Hotpot again~? Need more burden~ Also Saru-chan and Ohse-san don’t eat much veggies

(Iori picking up the shopping bags)

Fumiya: Iori, gimme one

Iori: I���m fine

(Iori noticing something)

Iori: Hm? Ah, aaaah!!!!

Fumiya: What’s up

Iori: Look at that, Valentines! It’s almost that time of the year!

Iori: Close call, almost forgot. Am I still in that hot spring mood? Get it together you slave

Iori: Fumiya-san, what kind of chocolate do you want this year?

Iori: Hm? Huh? Fumiya-san?

Shop clerk: How long do you intend to carry it with you?

Fumiya: I-I-I-I-I’ll eat it immediately

Shop clerk: Do you need a bag with it?

Fumiya: I don’t need to please just give it like that. How much does it cost. Please hurry I’m being chased by a dangerous man

Shop clerk: Eh?

(Iori appearing behind Fumiya)

Iori: Fumiya-san?

Fumiya: Ah! I told you! He’s here! You were too slow!

Iori: He Doesn’t Need The Chocolate

Shop clerk: Hieh!

Iori: ‘Kay we’re leaving

(Fumiya being pulled away)

Fumiya: Aaah! My choco! Choco!!!! Myyyy~!!!!

Terra: …Ghost-kun, I wonder what kind of clothes fit you

Ohse: Um, you really don’t need to do this. A piece of shit doesn’t need any clothes.

Terra: Amahiko

Amahiko: Yes

Terra: What’s your opinion on this

(Amahiko snaps his fingers)

Amahiko: Perfect, it’s intriguing

Terra: Right? Then I’ll go try it on

Amahiko: …Eh? Terra-san!?

Terra: ? 

Amahiko: We’re picking out clothes for Ohse-san today… 

Terra: Aaah! Crap! I ended up picking clothes for Terra-kun! Be selfless!

Amahiko: Terra-san, I’d say this piece piqued my interest.

Terra: Hm? Oh-hoh

Amahiko: A pinch of sexiness for Ohse-san’s pale complexion. 

Terra: Eh? Why are you like, picking out clothes for Ghost-kun

Amahiko: Eh!?

Terra: Pick out clothes for Terra-kun! What are you doing Amahiko! Get a grip!

Amahiko: No, we’re picking out clothes for Ohse-san today….

Terra: Aaah! Crap! I ended up picking clothes for Terra-kun again!!

Terra: Be selfless! SELFLEEEES!!

Ohse: Let’s just go home already

Ohse: The guilt of using up both of your precious time is making me want to die.

Terra: It’s okay, we’ll definitely find some good clothes. So stick with us a little longer, okay

Ohse: ….

Terra: Alrighty~ Let’s get searching~

(Terra’s voice from inside the store)

Terra: It fits me? Thank you. Though I’d say anything is perfect on me, ehehe, also like---

Ohse & Amahiko: …..

Amahiko: There’s a good person in him, somewhere.

Ohse: I’m aware by now. 

(Sound of the cashier)

Terra: Sorry for the wait~! I bought like, soooo much~! Hm? Huh?

Terra: Ghost-kun, what are you doing here out of all places?

Ohse & Amahiko: ……..

(Both of them breathe in deeply)

Ohse & Amahiko: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!?

Iori: Hm~? Ah!

Fumiya: ?

Amahiko: Oh? Spotted two sexy people.

Terra: Eh? Aaah

(They all come together)

Fumiya: Wanna go somewhere else?

Terra: Good question

Iori: Ohse-san, you okay?

Ohse: …Yeah

Amahiko: Tora-san

(Torahime coming at them in a hurry) 

Torahime: Eh? Ah, y-y-y-yes

Amahiko: Any place you would like to go to?

Torahime: Eeeh? No… ah… 

Terra: Anywhere’s fine

Iori: Your wish, sir?

Torahime: Um… um… everyone-…

Bunch of dudes: HAAAAH!? The fuck’s wrong with you! Hey! We don’t fucking know you

Fumiya: Hm? What’s all that noise?

The four of them: Hm?

(PIIIIIIIIIIIII)

Terra & Iori: Rikai-kun!?

Ohse & Amahiko: Rikai-san!?

Rikai: You just littered, did you not. Please pick it up and throw it away at a designated place.

Rikai: Before society tosses the piece of trash that you are out on the streets.

Man 1: Shuddup man!

Man 2: Why do you care!

(The five of them try to stop Rikai)

Man 1: Get that head outta your ass! You piece of shit!

(The five of them apologizing)

(PIIIIIIIIIIII)

The five of them: !? 

Rikai: This area is a no-smoking zone, you imbecile.

Rikai: Or are you so naive you thought you could get away with it because it’s an electronic cigarette? 

Rikai: You wheedling child! Thinking cigarettes will make you mature! When bastards like you still suck on your thumb!!!!!

(The five of them try to stop Rikai)

(PIIIIIIIIIII)

The five of them: !? 

(Rikai slapping the hood of a car)

Rikai: Stop zone! It’s a stopping zone, stop! And you did not stop here!

Rikai: Discard your license if you do not listen to the rules! 

(The five of them try to stop Rikai)

Rikai: Why did no one inform me!? How the streets are full of felons!

Rikai: They’d rather walk with their heads in the clouds! Rikai-oniisan cannot believe this!

(They pick up Rikai and run away)

Rikai: Time has come for me to take my exit it seems. I do not understand, how unbelievable

Rikai: SOMEONE TELL MEEE----!!

(Sarukawa getting the shit beaten out of him)

(Sarukawa coming beaten and battered)

Amahiko: Sarukawa-kun, what happened to you

Iori: Ah! Again!? Geez~

Fumiya: What’s wrong?

Terra: A fight again?

Sarukawa: S’fine, don’t touch me!

Sarukawa: Aah! All of you just shut yer damn mouths! Don’t bother me! Leave me alone!

The four of them: ….

(Sarukawa leaving)

Fumiya: Kei, we got taiyaki

Sarukawa: What’cha say? Taiyaki?

Terra: C’mon, you heard it loud and clear

Amahiko: Let’s eat them together, Sarukawa-kun

Sarukawa: I ain’t gonna eat! As if I fuckin’ need any taiyaki!

The four of them: ….

Sarukawa: Where’s the taiyaki from

Terra: You do want to eat it, see?

Amahiko: Tane-an’s down on Futaba street.

Sarukawa: That one!? That one store that always got them crazy lines!?

Sarukawa: Their speciality is anko! Made with authentic black beans all the way from Hokkaido!

Sarukawa: But the owners from Okinawa!

Terra: You really know your stuff, so you wanna eat it, no!?

Sarukawa: Hell no!

Terra: Just be honest for once!

(Terra and Sarukawa jostling as Iori, Amahiko and Fumiya worry and try to stop them)

Iori: Tora-san!

Torahime: Hweh?

Iori: What are you spacing out for! Come stop them too!

Torahime: Ah, y-y-y-y-yes!

Torahime: Let’s all get along! Right, right let’s all calm down!

(Rikai leaving taiyaki infront of Sarukawa’s door)

Rikai: ….. Saru, I’ll leave some here, okay?

Iori: Eat it before it gets too chewy, you hear me?

Rikai: Good grief

Iori: ….

The two of them: …Hehe… fufufu

Iori: Ah, It’s Ohse-san

Rikai: Ohse-kun, let’s go eat some taiyaki

(Ohse passing them by)

Rikai: Hm? Ohse-kun?

(Ohse going to the entry way)

Iori: Wait, Ohse-san?

Rikai: Ohse-kun

Iori: Where are you going? Hey

(Ohse leaving the house)

Rikai: Ohse-kun? What’s the idea

Iori: Ohse-san, hold it

(Ohse getting into the water)

Rikai: WAAAAAAAAAH!

Iori: EEEEEEEEEH!?

(The two of them chase Ohse into the river to bring him out)

Iori & Rikai: WHY! WHYYY! WAAIT WAIT WAIT WHY OHSE-SAN HOLD IT

(They all end up on the riverbank)

Rikai: ….! What are you doing!

Ohse: Please let me die. This piece of shit messed up yet again.

Iori: Eeeeh!? Messed up what!?

(Ohse getting into the water)

Iori & Rikai: WAAAAAAAAAAH!

(The two of them fetch Ohse out)

Iori & Rikai: YOU CAN’T YOU CAN’T WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS WHYYY GET OVER HEREEE

(They all end up on the riverbank)

Ohse: Please let me drown myself

Iori: PLEASE DON’T DROWN YOURSELF!!

Rikai: Just what in the world happened

Ohse: Terra-san and Amahiko-san graced me with their precious free time

Ohse: And they all I did was soil it with my murky attitude…

Rikai: ….No, I’m sure you’re overthinking it

Iori: It’s these two, remember? There’s a chance they forgot already

Rikai: As you say

Ohse: Really? So then it’s okay, yes

Iori & Rikai: Yep! All good!

Fumiya: Mh, come in

Rikai: Fumiya-san, here, all the books you requested.

Rikai: They’re mainly about resource problems, and there’s essays with the data too. 

Fumiya: Thanks

Rikai: What are you reading at the moment?

(Fumiya shows the book)

Rikai: Energy… so that’s the topic you’re delving yourself into.

Rikai: What’s with the sudden interest?

Fumiya: … 

Fumiya: Ah, my moped

Rikai: Eh?

Fumiya: Y’see, gasoline prices have been on the rise lately, so it made me start paying attention to it

Rikai: Aaah, that. At any rate, it is indeed a big subject that humanity is struggling with

Rikai: I do believe it’s wonderful to show interest in something like this. 

(Rikai leaves)

Fumiya: Rikai

Rikai: ?

Fumiya: …Nah, nevermind

Rikai: It’s almost time for dinner. Please come downstairs when you can.

[waitmyturtles]

I’m going to save Our Skyy 2 x The Eclipse for my watching tonight in my time zone as I’m absorbing all the chatter about the second episode (sometimes there’s a benefit to living on the far side of the international date line -- I get to take more time to process after an episode is released if I need that time before diving in).

Instead, I prioritized Our Dining Table, episode 5, and as usual, I’m so glad I did, because it continues to be the sweetest, most perfect show.

Yutaka and Minoru continue to be so sweet (I’M NOT FORGETTING ABOUT KING TANE-KUN HERE). I loved Minoru’s frustration when Ueda-san interrupted Minoru and Yutaka’s late-night conversation. But I just wanted to note one really sweet and quiet moment that moved me -- when Tane-kun spilled the juice on Yutaka after eating the ramen fried rice.

Yutaka handled the moment so kindly, wiping Tane-kun and taking Tane-kun to help change his clothes.

One thing I’m loving about the show is that very, very slowly, we continue to see Yutaka getting closer to Tane-kun and helping to take care of him. 

I love this, especially as juxtaposed with Minoru’s college classmate telling Minoru that he needs to get back to his own life. (@troubled-mind, do you know if this was in the original manga? I can’t remember this small bit, but I could just be forgetting.)

I get to be a mom in a dyad in watching this, and I think I wrote previously -- raising kids is absolutely NO. JOKE. THE EXHAUSTION. I am semi-permanently exhausted. The inability to have a full conversation, your meals getting interrupted, your sleep getting interrupted, handling emergencies, cleaning vom, making decisions every minute -- it’s wearying. Your whole body is sacrificed, from mind to skin. We do it because we love our kids, BUT IT’S WORK.

No wonder Minoru quit school -- it’s a huge weight to bear. (Single parents, STAND UP -- much respect.)

So the classmate telling Minoru to get back to his own life -- for Minoru, I get that that’s totally unrealistic.

But Yutaka is there now. In these little moments, he’s there, and he helps. Surely, Minoru is attracted to Yutaka. But Yutaka, separately, IS JUST THERE. And that “there” is so beautiful.

When Yutaka took Tane-kun to change his clothes, I sensed Minoru’s relief, even while Minoru apologized. I’ll do a deep mom extrapolation to say -- that “I’m sorry” might not just be about the spill. It might be about apologizing for the energy that Yutaka will expend in handling Tane-kun in those moments. It gives Minoru the tiniest of breaks -- and that, besides just being there, is something that I bet Minoru is so grateful for, and reflects on the kindness and generosity that Yutaka demonstrates that is so like Minoru’s mom. That compassion that’s been missing from Minoru’s life, that that classmate doesn’t represent, that Ueda-san might be missing a touch from his own personality (at least for now -- we’ll see later in the series). 

This is one of the most quietly compassionate shows I’ve ever watched, and I just can’t get enough of it. If I were Minoru, I’d be on my knee with a ring. But in their world, things don’t move as quickly, and I’m so grateful for it. 

(I said this, and I’ll say it again: this show is highlighting, more than the manga, the physical and emotional aspects of the brunt of parenting in a way that I truly appreciate, and I bet mom fujoshis in Japan are just swooning at it, like me.)

sorry if this has been asked before but 10 of your top blorbos you need to protect at all cost?

No worries! I think I've done it a long time ago so it's nice to do it again after I've had ventured thru new fandoms :) Rather I'll rank them into my blorbos to protect and blorbos who will kick my as$ if I try to protect them.

Will protect at all cost:

1. Ichikura Hayate - will forever be my favorite son that I coddle and spoil rotten. I'll keep his purity and innocence forever not to be stained by this rotten world. I'll fight Mima for him, I will win because Mima hates fighting, but Hayate will still choose Mima over me *sob*

2. Rihito Hiyakawa - my eldest son is canonically 4 yrs older than me lmao. Mikado has done great job taking care of him. Basically he's doing job nobody else could do. But still Hiyakawa's mental health needs protection. I'll refer him to some of great shrinks I know personally.

3. Handa Seishuu and Naru - these two come in one pack and nobody can ever separate them! They already protect each other plenty enough so all I need to do is to let Hiro do all the work while I'm watching happily on the sideline.

4. Lee Shihyeon (Ishida Kenji) - my 3rd son 😭 I'll sneak into the jail and korosu his mom while she sleeps for what he did to this angel. I give full authority to Kang Youngwoo to be his hubby so he'd be the one protecting him from now on.

5. Poco - my youngest kid. At the end of the series, he says goodbye to Papa Souta. That's because this little cutie babe is now living happily with me.

6. Ueda Tane - I lured him out from Yutaka using the biggest bomb onigiri and tako-san wiener. Now he's playing and living with Poco and Gakuto.

7. Yuzuki Gakuto - I mean have you seen this little bean??! He's the most well-behaved and mature out of everyone in this list.

Will kick my as$ if i try to protect them:

1. Fujiwara Shuu - what can this commoner do to protect a prince like him?? Minato already takes good care of him so I'm jobless. I've been planning to submit job application as Toujou-san's apprentice but by the time I become a butler at the Fujiwara residence, Shuu already leaves home.

2.Choso - obviously he doesn't take lightly to be coddled cz "I'm the oldest of ten brothers" yadda yadda "I need to be strong for my little brothers" yadda yadda "I don't need protection, I will protect my little brothers with my life" yadda yadda.

3. Jiang Cheng - I mean obviously this tsundere purple kitten will scratch me if I so much as to approach him. Since I'm neither Jin Ling nor Lan Xichen then I'm not qualified to baby him. But I secretly baby him from afar.
