Oscar and 8

8) shielding the other one with their body

“Fuck, Osc, we’re in the wrong place.”

You’re looking intently at your Google Maps, trying to puzzle through Italian street names as the taxi speeds off. It’s raining, pouring even. You’re wedged under a shop awning in your fancy dress, and you’re wondering why there’s no one there with an umbrella to usher you into a restaurant that you’re clearly not standing in front of right now.

“What?” Oscar replies, something like panic lacing his voice, “Shit.”

He looks around for the taxi, attempts to flag it down as it turns the corner away from you. Is, obviously, unsuccessful.

“It’s up there,” you say, pointing up the street where you can just make out a maître d’ with a truly massive umbrella, “We’re not far.”

Oscar groans, looking at the stretch of sidewalk. It’s half-shielded by awnings, but there are open sections where rain buckets down. You know he’s regretting forgetting the free umbrella the hotel gave you guys the other day. You’re regretting forgetting that umbrella.

He sighs, “We gotta leg it.”

“Yeah,” you agree forlornly, already mourning the loss of the hairdo that you spent so long on, and your perfect makeup, “We do.”

You and Oscar reach for each other at the same time— he grips your hand tightly and you run out into the rain together. Honestly, it’s not as bad as it had looked. Your hair is holding up under the hand you’ve got hovering above it. Your dress is getting wet, but it’ll dry in the warmth of the restaurant. It’s fine.

You’re about to breathe a sigh of relief as the two of you come up on the restaurant. The maître d’ holding the umbrella and beckoning you forward.

Then Oscar is biting out a curse, and even though you’re safely under cover right now he’s grabbing you and tucking you behind his lanky body. You’re confused, you grab his shoulder and turn him around to ask him what’s going on. You frown, he’s facing you and then suddenly a car is whizzing down the cobblestone road and it’s kicking up a spray of water that goes splat right onto Oscar’s back. You catch some of it, but not nearly as much as you would if Oscar hadn’t shielded you.

He cringes, cheeks screwing up in embarrassment or disgust. You’re looking at him with wide eyes. He’s wet, utterly soaked through. Or at least his back half is. You can see his nice button up shirt sticking to his shoulders even from here.

“Um,” you say for lack of anything else.

“You look too pretty,” he says by way of explanation, shrugging like it’s nothing, “Had to sacrifice myself.”

You snort, then laugh. He laughs too, and the you’re just standing there a few metres from the restaurant giggling like school children.

When the laughter subsides you hum, leaning forward to kiss him on the corner of his mouth, “My hero.”

Hey there

Im actually gonna talk about your other series

I'm super curious for the yandere Batfam dynamic was they find our reader is a vampire, I kinda like the idea of reversing the typical vampire creepiness and instead of us, is the Batfam that really enjoy feeling the reader drinking their blood and each one figure out a way to convince reader.

For example let's say Cassandra manages to figure out which days your instincts are at the strongest so those days she always makes sure it's her turn to stay in the manor to keep guard and make sure you don't escape while the others are doing vigilante stuff

context.

oooooh vampire! reader ask!!! mild spoilers for future fic, gotham by night.

i'm honestly so excited to see where this story will go. this reader will not only have to deal with batfam issues, but also being introduced to a completely new world of vampires and deal with sire issues on top of daddy issues. she's having a great time (not)!

but tbh, i don't think reader would drink the batfam's blood. she would find the idea of feeding on her family extremely gross, and unnecessary, since there's other methods out there. it could be a last-resort thing, if she was starving and close to frenzy, but even then that would be something she would hate to do, as there is a risk of killing them accidentally.

and one of the main conflicts in this fic is yandere! platonic! batfam just not understanding (obviously, since they've never been exposed to it) the richness and intricacies of vampire culture, practices and social dynamics, leading to them to mishandle reader and her new condition as a vampire pretty badly. not only that, but batfam essentially kidnapping reader from her sire (who had also kidanpped her btw) messes up her self-discovery process as a vampire. oh, and a possible masquerade breach! disastrous.

but i can see the batfamily starving reader on purpose, to get her to drink their blood, saying it's safer for her to get used to drinking from her family so she doesn't feel tempted to attack innocent civilians. and she's yelling that that's not how any of this works, but they won't listen. yup, that's diabolical.

you see, this concept pretty much follows v*mpire t*e m*squ*rad* mechanics. and according to established lore, we have a variety of predator types: one of them being bagger, referring to vampires who prefer to consume blood through blood bags instead of live human bodies. this would be convenient for both reader and batfam, but mostly batfam since they could just arrange reader an endless supply of blood bags with ease.

we also have consensualists, who do not feed against their victim's free will (the lines of consent and free will might still be murky, lest they straight up admit they're a vampire looking for blood and won't you please spare some) and sirens, who seduce their victims! i'm not entirely sure which predator type vampire! reader will be, but i'm leaning heavily towards bagger, meaning she doesn't have a preference for biting necks. but who knows?

to be fair, it's a big adjusment for batfam. you were being weird before you got kidnapped (and embraced), and it takes a while and reader almost going into frenzy (aka vampiric reaction to situations of extreme stress, like starvation) for them to find out, holy shit, she's a fucking vampire now! that's what happened! and they can't just... let you go. the situation is complicated. the person who turned you is still out there, and you're unpredictable, and this wouldn't have happened if they just paid more attention to you! so let them keep you safe (captive) and provided for.

ALTERNATIVELY, deviating a bit from the original concept where reader is taken by her sire and then taken by the batfam straight back into captivity, we could have reader being so neglected and ignored in the family that they just don't notice she's been turned, and she gets time to go through a complete change in personality and confidence, and involve herself with the social and political webs of vampire society that wants to establish itself in gotham. it's not drastically different direction for this concept to go, because either way reader will be thrown in the world of darkness (ha), except here the kidnapping happens after she comes contact into it and in the paragraph above it happens before.

reader escapes them either way, cause she's a vampire ofc, and the batfam didn't have enough time and info to prepare and keep reader sufficiently trapped. they'll keep an eye on her, though.

either way, there's room for yandere madness, dark content, neglectful batfamily drama, sociopolitical vampire drama, vampire! reader being cunty, and all that in both ideas, which aren't that different, really.. i'm not sure! sorry for rambling. it's still a work in progress but i'm very excited for it.

Now I am wondering how it would be if it was sun a moon human crashing and finding yn

Sun and moon would have crash landed together, and being that moon is more mechanically inclined he’d probably get everything built, while sun does the majority of exploring. Eventually sun would drag moon out and of course the one time they go out.

BIEG FISH. Sun would be all over that, new friend, bestie really. And reader would probably eventually come poke their head into sun and moons base, watch moon work and talk. They’d come around to each other eventually.

As for eclipse, I figure they would meet later.

[justaboot]

so odd question, but if della were ahuman, what would her hair color be?

purple, red, brown, orange, blond? etc?

Okay so because they’re Cartoons™️ I like keeping the white BUT I know in my heart that the twins got the McDuck Ginger™️ (they didn’t get the green eyes tho and Della’s still so pissed)

Zhongli for the Genshin ask game please!

Genshin Character Ask game: Zhongli <3

There are entire several page long essays about the cultural inspirations of his character, stories, design, everything. Imo, he is Genshin's favorite in terms of level of cultural inspiration and pride to this day. You can read about a lot of them here!

One of these is his left thumb ring, which is called a 韘 / Shè in ancient China, and 扳指 / Bān Zhǐ now, implying he can shoot arrows with his left hand!

The English translation did not do justice for a number of translations in his 2nd Story Quest, which you can read about here!

Most notably, Azdaha (aka Re Tuo in Chinese), wrote a whole poem about just how amazing Morax is, and that the title of the question "No Mere Stone" is also inspired by a Chinese poem: "我心匪石 不可转也, 我心匪席 不可卷也"

Hi, I’ve read your Reprogrammed AU story a few months ago, and it was such an AMAZING read. I’m very excited to see how it continues in Decoded 😁

Though I had to ask, if it’s ok with you, on what inspired you to make this?

Aw thank you so much!

The main inspiration for Reprogrammed was actually an episode of Wild Kratts! Specifically S2 E3: Creature Power Challenge.

It's the episode where Zach hacks into the creature power suits in order to force them to change into whatever animal he wants.

The episode is still silly goofy as always, but it really stood out to me in terms of plot potential! They resolve the issue pretty quickly and without consequences, but it just seemed like one of those situations that could have quickly spiraled into something deeper.

Obviously it's a kids show and they cant really explore those scenarios, but that's why fanfiction exists.

It was just interesting to see hints of angst and drama you would find within a more mature series

[twisting-in-wonderland]

if there was an autobiography based on any of the twst characters lives, which one would you be the most interested in hearing?

I'm torn between two--

but in the end. DEFINITELY Rook's--

He'd write so much irrelevant detail, and in the end you'd know so much, yet so little about his life,,

plus- hear me out-

there's 70 parts in total

(second place was Lilia, since that guy's been through a LOT ( i mainly want to hear about the places he's been to and the food he's had tbh--- (if lilia did try and release his autobiography, it'd probably be a multi-part too- most people would think it was a fantasy story instead of an actual autobiography though lol--))

tied third was crowley and Grim as a joke, because 99% of it would be exaggerated and full of lies, i would read either one's to make fun of it-)

transcript under read more-- (since my hand writing is rough sry--)

image 1 :

Rook - 'Roi du poison! I have finished my Autobiography!'

image 2:

Vil - 'It's very well written, Rook.'

Rook - 'Oh! Bon! I am over-joyed to hear that! So you like it, Roi du poison?'

Vil - 'Of course.'

Rook - 'Bien! I shall fetch part two for you both!'

(on the side-

Epel - 'Why are there two pages describing us...?'

Image 3:

Vil and Epel - '...Part two?'

Hello! I loved your Gojo vampire fanfic, so much that in the end I asked myself a question, I wanted to know, what would have happened if the reader had rejected Satoru? I would like to know what reaction he would have had if the reader had rejected his marriage request, and I would also like to know what he would have done if she had rejected him when she found out that he is a vampire, please. Of course, only if you want to do it. Thanks for write this story.

Oooooo!! bestie, I love this ask hehe <3

First of all, thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so glad you liked the fic! I'm gonna put a break here so that you can read the rest of my thoughts below! (dark/nsfw/yandere below the cut):

As for how vamp!gojo would react... i don't see it ending very well for reader. In this fic i viewed him as pretty much a yandere. If reader had refused to marry him, I don't think she would have stayed free very long. I think he def would have just scooped her up in the night and whisked her away. I think he would have just kept her locked up in his castle, visiting her everyday until he won her over.

If she had refused him when she figured out he was a vampire... I think he would have gotten angry, which would be extra terrifying because I think he's usually very gentle and careful with her. I can see him forcing his bite on her because he knows it will put her in a sort of euphoric state that would make her more pliable and more receptive to his desires.

In short, he is absolutely and totally obsessed with reader and I can't see a universe in which he doesn't have her, whether it's willingly or by force. However, I also think he has a sort of alluring quality that is a result of him being a vampire and also just his personality. Because of that, I don't think many humans are capable of resisting, including reader. I see her eventually falling for him, even if she fights it tooth and nail.

What do you think are Roy's top 3 comics?

Oooh good question!

'Best' is a very subjective category, and it could mean a lot of different things based on how you define it. Best as in "most significant"? Then it'd be Green Lantern (1960) #86 (Snowbirds part 2), New Titans #21, and (unfortunately) Rise of Arsenal #1, because they're arguably most important for a new reader to understand the key parts of Roy's story.

But if you just mean the three that I think are the best, then:

3) The Arsenal Special. I just really like this comic. I love the first person perspective at the beginning of it

And the way it highlights Roy's own fears about not being a good enough father for Lian. I also really just love the whole action hero vibe to it, as someone who grew up on a lot of 90s action movies it's just really fun to read! And it's definitely the comic I always turn to for "yes, THIS is why he's called Arsenal". I mean look at him!

Also his whole monologue is just 10/10. I don't have room to post all of it here but I posted it on this reblog to a post by one-bat-day. It's just a really fun comic and I like it a lot!

2) Titans (1999) #16. Funnily enough, while Grant's relationship with Roy is absolutely my favourite part of Titans '99, my favourite single-issue doesn't include him. I just really like this issue because there's so much good stuff in it, from Roy's monologue about his feelings towards his mother-

To him punching Dick (as he should king) and calling out the double standards between how he's treated and how Dick's treated by the other Titans.

It also has some really great moments between Roy and Garth, them finally actually talking to each other and reaching an understanding. Look at those guys!

1) Green Arrow (2001) #32. This has to be my all-time favourite comic hands down. Granted that's not entirely down to Roy (Connor Hawke love of my life), but it's just! It's the brothers issue! It has everything you could ever need! Roy giving a non-subtle queer acceptance speech decades before Connor came out as ace-

Roy actually getting to bully someone else's driving instead of having his own driving bullied-

There's actual communication! Look at how healthy these brothers are! Roy explains that he was only looking out for Connor, Connor explains why he wanted the robber to actually put the gun down himself, and Roy apologises!

Look at them!! They're brothers!!

Roy Harper and Connor Hawke, the brothers ever. This is just such a cute and fun comic and I'm so glad I have a physical copy because sometimes I just need to reread it again and again and everything will be okay.

homie and s/o playing the no touching game and obvs homelander loses 🥹🥹💕💕

Homelander's eyes are narrowed. "So... what would I win?" You can't help but laugh at his suspicion over such an innocuous little game. "You win the game," you say again, though it's not helping his comprehension any, so you elaborate. "It's just a game! You play it for the sake of playing it, and whoever wins, wins."

"Why would I want to win the game of not touching you?" He asks, clearly unimpressed by the thought. You sigh, though it's out of amusement more than exasperation. "You don't have to play. Go ahead," you say, holding your hand out to him. "I'm happy to win." Homelander recoils from you. "No."

You grin, dropping your hand. "Okay. Game on."

For the rest of the day, the two of you dance around one another like the other is radioactive, while also trying to trick contact. You try to ambush him a couple of times, try to fool him into bumping into you from around the corner, but between his super hearing and ability to literally see through walls, you're quickly humbled.

Similarly, Homelander does his best to beat you at your own game. He pads silently behind you, waits for you to back into him. He very nearly gets you when he utters a grave, "Oh, fuck." at his phone.

"What's wrong?" You ask, leaning over to look. You only just stop yourself from putting an assuring hand on his arm. You yank your hand back, and realize he has a video ready to play on his phone. "Rick Astley? Really?" You say, rolling your eyes with a smile as you turn away. "I regret teaching you internet culture."

"Almost had you."

"Keep dreaming!"

As the day progresses, however, you notice less and less humor in his attempts. In fact, on the last one, you see a tightness in his jaw that makes you realize he may actually be getting sincerely upset.

Time to end things. The next time he makes his move, you decide you'll fall for it. It'll have to be convincing, of course, but you're confident you can make enough of a show to-

You're mid thought when two powerful arms wrap around your middle, pulling you back with enough force to make you yelp. You feel him nuzzle in at the crook of your neck, inhaling deeply. His grip flexes on you, makes you feel like one of those stress relief balls. You put your hands on his arms, rubbing gently as you give a breathless little laugh. "You okay?"

"Stupid game," he grumbles, nudging your ear with his nose.

"That's a shame, I was about to let you win. I missed you."

"You did?" He asks, voice still low, still a touch grouchy, but with an unmistakable note of earnest hope.

"Yes," you assure him, biting back another small laugh. You twist around in his grip when he allows for it, and slip your arms around his neck. "Did you miss me?"

He kisses you, swift and firm. You make a noise against him that only encourages him deeper, has him clutching the back of your neck in one hand while the other snakes around your waist, holding you close.

"Stupid question, too," he murmurs, words warm against your lips. You grin, kissing him again.

"I'll take that as a yes."

[donutdrawsthings]

Can I just say I absolutely love your fan OC Doctor and Master.

With that your master reminds me of the guy from the red flags animated music video thing. You know the "I tried to get the waiters attention by blinking in morse code" that guy. I don't know, but the song also reminds me of your Doctor and Master. The Master is probably the scary girl from it though. Lol

BWAHAHAHAHA OMG that's such a big compliment tbh! I love Buttons! (the character's name) I do feel the roles would be reversed if they were on a date yeah, but the thought of the Doctor weirding out the master was so funny to me I had to draw it LMAOOO

[inkbitten]

Hello!! Can I please ask for a sinclair x reader? Where sinclair is too awkward and afraid to confess to them during their breaks in between missions? Thank you if you write this!

SINCLAIR IS TOO NERVOUS TO CONFESS TO YOU!

i hope this is okay heheh.. i made the reader more outgoing and straightforward to contrast him. i hope that's alright! 🫶

you've always gotten along with sinclair. he finds you more approachable than most of the other sinners, and you engage in pleasant between missions. you finish his sentences when his speech dissolves into stammers, and you stick up for him when he is teased for his reluctance to slaughter.

when he speaks with you on the bus, it feels as though nobody else is there. he does not hear ryōshu's acronyms, nor does he hear don quixote's cries for justice.

his favorite moments, however, are when you join him on watching the bus at night. when moonlight streams through the windows, illuminating your face.. he subconsciously inches just a little closer, your knees brushing together.

"..sinclair?"

underneath your sudden utterance, the poor blond scrambles back with a burst of sputtering apologies. if he were any louder in his flustered panic, you're sure the light sleeper rodya would have awoken from her slumber.

"hey..! hey. it's okay." you assure, waving your hands as if to dismiss his anxieties. "i didn't mind you being close."

"y— you.. didn't?" he timidly asks, still unsure if he should return to his prior position sat beside you.

"no, i didn't," you assure, taking the initiative to move closer to him. "i like being close to you, you know."

sinclair feels his shoulders tense as your frame leans into his side. he swallows thickly, desperately wishing that he does not mistake the look in your eyes for anything other than fondness.

"i— i.." shit, he doesn't know what else to say. his heartbeat drums in his chest at such an intensity that he swears his sternum will begin to crackle and break apart.

"—like me?" you finish for him, lips curling into a cheeky smile.

oh, there you go finishing his sentences again. sinclair finds himself turning red in the face, eyes widening. how long have you known of his love for you? have you just been keeping quiet about it like him, and just waiting for your late—night conversations?

"don't worry, sinclair. i like you, too."

[torchflies]

Okay, so i was thinking about your identical quintuplets idea of 5 Mavs roaming the earth. And my thought is Viper has 5 bottles of whiskey and each one is labeled with each boy's name. He drinks out of each one when that specific son is causing problems...Mav's has had to be replaced 3 times already, 4 by the time Top Gun ends

YES YES YES 😂 Poor Viper knows no peace with his five extra sons.

He can yell at them in his sleep too, and will conk out at his desk mumbling to himself.

Kiff, take a shower!

Lynds, stop thwacking your brothers upside the head when they do dumb shit; you killing whatever brain cells they’ve got left is not helping the situation!

No, Teddy — you cannot skip class to go get high in someone’s Jeep!

Mal and Pete, hands to yourself! I swear to God I will turn this jet around!

Jester just tucks him with a nearby jacket, and wings a prayer for the poor man’s sanity.🫡

[abyssal-ilk]

Hiii, hope you're doing well. How do you think Vivienne would be as an aunt to the child/children of an Inquisitor who's her best friend? I just like the idea of her being that rich aunt that pops up randomly bearing gifts 😂

to be honest, i'm kind of mixed on this idea! im always very iffy on vivienne being any sort of aunt/big sister/motherly figure (the da fandom has not spared vivienne from the mammy stereotype whatsoever, and i think i've seen too much of it not to be biased), but i could potentially see vivienne filling in some sort of mentor role if the inquisitor has any children with magic. if for no other reason than the other options are solas and dorian, and vivienne would sooner smack both of them on the back of the head than let them mentor a child- especially a child of the inquisitor, who already has countless eyes on them. an apostate with no past or a tevinter mage? absolutely not. besides, vivienne already has experience with the circle apprentices; she probably would think she's best suited.

or, more generally, i could see vivienne stepping up for any child of the inquisitor purely to get them accustomed to being in the spotlight. vivienne has been part of the game since she was young; who better to teach someone how to survive orlesian politics than her? i can see vivienne giving gifts of fine clothes, jewelry, and even expensive schooling just to ensure they're as equipped as they can be to be in the public eye. enchanted jewelry, trinkets, or other items are also a big possibility. vivienne isn't going to let the inquisitor walk around not knowing how to maneuver in their new-found spotlight, nor will she let their children.

so maybe not a rich aunt dumping expensive gifts on the inquisitor's kid(s), but more a distant but proud mentor ensuring that they have every opportunity and resource that they need to thrive. and if that means getting those kids in with her own seamstress and personally ensuring that they have the best offered education and materials? then she's gonna do it!
