P5R Random Thoughts #3: Annoyance, Anger, and Conviction

Or, just a couple more random thoughts about Joker.

I actually do enjoy that Joker seems to sometimes get genuinely frustrated with his friends' antics - I don't know if it reads that way to anyone else, but a combination of his dialogue options and character model body language definitely reads that way to me.

He's gotten mildly annoyed with Ryuji's loudness on several occasions - often having dialogue choices that are essentially some variant of "keep your voice down!" Much as Joker feels what I suspect is quite a lot of gratitude for Ryuji's unflinching support and passion (he was his first friend in Tokyo, after all - no deal, just friendship), his dialogue options also become a lot more passive aggressive during early Kaneshiro arc - and small wonder, because Ryuji's eager carelessness actually did get them caught; thankfully by Makoto, and not law enforcement. Of course, he still cares a lot about Ryuji; I think he's just a little frustrated right now.

He's usually pretty chill with Morgana bossing him around - for what reason, I honestly couldn't tell you, but he does pretty much anything that not-cat recommends. However, when Morgana spontaneously invites Yusuke to stay with Joker without asking him, Joker kind of "!!" and looks at him. It's then followed up with everyone deciding to invite themselves to Joker's place, again, without asking him and Morgana encouraging it. The scene ends with Joker straight up elbowing/jostling Morgana in the bag after everyone's left for Leblanc. Pfft.

He tells Yusuke to hurry it up in Mementos when he gets too in the zone... and much as you can't rush an artist, they do near immediately get jumped by Shadows after that, so, you know, he does have a point.

Even with Ann, Joker frequently sweatdrops at her kind of out-there ideas of how to strengthen her heart. While I wouldn't call it annoyance, per se, there is at least one scene I can think of where two of the options straight up shut her down, and the last is basically a sarcastic "good luck with that", which Ann proceeds to take at face value as encouragement, leading to Joker sweatdropping once again. Lol.

So many of these are basically the equivalent of Joker going >:( at his friends and them typically completely not noticing which is funny as heck.

Also, because I'm the kind of person who loves to read into things, I think it can tell us a little more about Joker. What actually frustrates him here?

Drawing attention to the group in the real world - something he actively tries to avoid, at first, because of consequences for him, and then, because it puts the thieves at risk

Getting himself and the group into unnecessary trouble - so we've got two instances of Joker being mindful of potential consequences

People getting invited over without being asked first - this one's a little ambiguous as to why. Could be a simple courtesy thing, could be related to Joker's earlier obvious discomfort with people getting in his personal space without permission, could be that he likes his privacy. Personally, I suspect he's actually somewhat embarrassed and a little concerned about what his friends' reactions will be to where he's staying - I do have some reasons for this interpretation but ultimately, no matter what reason you ascribe, he's definitely not initially happy about this spontaneous invitation by Morgana.

I think we can even condense the first two and say that Joker seems to be a little more focused on outcomes and consequences than much of the rest of his group, who (before Makoto joins) very much people who act in the immediate moment. He's not quite on par with Morgana's brand of pragmatism, but he does seem to always be at least thinking ahead.

There are a few exceptions, however.

Joker's actual anger is something he is evidently not good at hiding. He has an excellent poker face, but his eyes and, apparently, the way he speaks give it away entirely. To hide his anger, he outright has to not say anything and obscure his face. That actually does not seem like someone who is especially good at hiding strong emotions, even if he can school the rest of himself.

Ann, of all people, has to make excuses for his obvious disdain towards a cop. Every single dialogue option is some flavour of snippy comment. His character model continues to stare directly at said cop, even after Ann interrupts.

He is not thinking about consequences here. Joker fucking hates cops, and he is either very bad at hiding it - or he has no desire to. A very similar thing happened with Kamoshida too. He has nothing but disdain for abusers with power and authority over those they hurt. He also outright doesn't trust the justice system at all after seeing how it failed him and so many others ("They do more than the cops" <-hello. on live tv no less.).

And this leads to something else that's actually a fairly interesting facet to his character that I'm curious to see if it'll get acknowledged in some way.

For the most part, despite the Metaverse confidence and flashiness (which I feel isn't a great metric anyways - all the thieves are like that), Joker responds to most compliments and successes by either complimenting the whole team in turn, or brushing it off as luck or not a huge deal. This is likely in part a cultural thing, but when it comes to genuine appreciation being shown, he does seem to have some semblance of humility about it all - which is why it's almost hilariously shocking how pushy he can be about helping others.

He chases after Ann because she's upset, even though initially she told him not to. He corners some of the students getting exploited by Kaneshiro and won't leave until they tell him the details, even resorting to playing into the rumours about him so that they'll talk. He overhears his confidants in some kind of trouble on several occasions and near immediately asks them about it, and then continues to bring it up if they don't elaborate. It's notable that these instances are some of the few things he decides to do himself, without Morgana's explicit encouragement. I suspect a lot of this is because he has so little faith in anyone else to do the right thing - he has no trust in the justice system, and most adults don't seem to care. But Joker cares, and he will listen to what happened, and he will do something about it, and he will help, and he does so by refusing to let up - he does not wait for someone to ask for help necessarily, he just kind of goes and does it. It's not like I can't see the rationale here, but it's also, kind of, a little bit... presumptuous, in a way.

Again, it's a fascinating contrast with his typical (at least apparent) humility, and his kind of wishy-washy dialogue from early game - Joker has always been firm about this.

The official forming of the Phantom Thieves at the buffet is a scene that really caught my eye for this. Again, much as Joker has the same level of anger as his friends, his answers are still largely "probably"s and "maybe"s. He "hadn't even considered" continuing to act as Phantom Thieves. But interestingly, there is one dialogue option that is stated with none of the usual hesitancy or vagueness - "I want to help people". <- It's the crux of his awakening. This is Joker's true conviction. And he's willing to do anything, be whoever he needs to be, to see this through. He wants to help. He can't bring himself to look away.

Asserting the Phantom Thieves' brand of justice is a conviction that arises later on through proof of the effectiveness of changing hearts, and as a natural extension of his growing familiarity and confidence in their methods. Joker nearly always needs a little push to get started, but once he gets going, he's kind of relentless. He doesn't seem to be truly all that angry with either Makoto or Akechi for their questioning of the thieves' justice (barring his initial reaction), but he does, again, get annoyed at the assumption that the thieves are somehow a threat to people who aren't inflicting harm onto others - Joker says the thieves only target "criminals", implying that even though others may see them as criminals themselves, Joker does not agree. And when Makoto winds up joining them, there appears to be no residual hard feelings from him - she's like them, and she's come around.

It's likely too soon for me to state with any certainty, but I do think that's what Joker is hoping for - that people will come around if he gives them undeniable proof that they help instead of harm. Every character has at least some "selfish" motive to being a Phantom Thief, in addition to the shared goal of providing courage for those left abandoned by society. Ryuji wants positive instead of negative attention for once, Morgana wants his memories, Ann wants to alleviate her feelings of guilt surrounding Shiho, Yusuke aims to understand the human heart, and Makoto wants to feel useful and needed. What about Joker?

He started off this story just trying to help. No one believed him. He was punished for "hurting" someone and there was nothing he could say or do that would convince anyone otherwise. It was his word against society's. And when the Phantom Thieves' motives are brought up, it's the same questions: aren't they going to hurt people? Aren't they dangerous and untrustworthy? And this frustrates Joker in a similar way to the rumours surrounding his own arrest, but now - now he has proof. Proof that they helped, proof that this works. It's undeniable, to him, that real good is coming of this. And so now he has a leg to stand on; he can actually argue his point by saying "the Phantom Thieves aren't like that; look at the people they're helping, and how the people who should've done something can't do half the good they do". It's no longer his word against the rest of the world. He's counting on people being unable to deny what they are forced to witness.

In a way, Joker now has grounds not just to plead the Phantom Thieves' justice... but also his own innocence and good intentions. His defense of their justice is also, I believe, a defense of his own ego, to an extent.

You Have Bad Luck (Team Free Will x Male Reader)

A/N: This idea entered my head and I wanted to get it out soon so hopefully this is close enough to the theme of Halloween lol. Enjoy!

-

DEAN

Dean is constantly bouncing between finding it funny and being worried about your well-being. Whenever you end up tripping or walking into a door he can't help but find it a little funny. However, if the fall looks particularly bad he will refrain from laughing at the moment and check up on you. Dean has basically forbidden you from going on hunts with them since he is not willing to risk your bad luck affecting you at the wrong time. If you do want to help them out Dean will let you do some research for them but that is about as far as he will go.

SAM

Sam tends to have more worry when it comes to you and your bad luck. He will tend to pay more attention to you when you are around him to make sure you don't get too hurt. Sam will also keep you away from being on the front lines of a hunt but is more willing to let you help with the research. He also finds your bad luck kind of interesting and will usually give you good luck charms that he finds to see how they affect your natural bad luck. Sam does his best to counteract your bad luck by catching you before you fall or giving you a sturdy phone case to prevent your phone from cracking.

CASTIEL

Cas is very confused by the bad luck that follows you around. At first, Cas wouldn't exactly know how often it affects you but as time goes on he would start to get a feeling for how it operates and would act accordingly. Whenever you end up injured he will heal you with his grace and make sure that you are okay. Cas is more willing to take you along with him on hunts since he knows he can heal you if you end up injured. However, there will still be times when Cas thinks it would be best for you to hang back and help with the research.

CROWLEY

Crowley found your bad luck to be very interesting. When he first learned about it he joked about your ancestor pissing a witch off as a reason for it. Crowley has no qualms about making a quip or two whenever you trip on a rock or when you forget your wallet at home. He will make sure that you are not too hurt though he will never do so in an obvious way. Crowley tends to no bring you with him to meetings and stuff with one of the reasons being that your bad luck could cause unnecessary distractions to him and his work. His favorite nickname for you is "Black Cat" for obvious reasons.

[alexwilltellyouthings]

I came to terms with the fact I am actively anti cat king/edwin and I have to talk about it I'm sorry

Like, you ship whatever you want fr!! I just have a lot of thoughts about this

The Cat King is a very interesting character. Really, I like him and I find him consistent in his actions. That is precisely why I don't see what he feels for Edwin as anything close to being in love, and I don't think he even means to be.

He cares, sure, and he's kinda obsessed with getting his prey (affectionately), but that's it. He wouldn't go too far for Edwin and he doesn't. "I'll be waiting for him when he gets out of hell" while someone else is getting him out of hell. Also, knowing that Esther is going to literally torture Edwin forever and not risking his lives to give a warning — which of course, why would he? He just got killed for trying to help, he's not about to do it again. And I don't think it's wrong of him! Because you don't risk your life for a crush!!

(well, except if you're Monty. He actually was about to risk his life for Edwin, trying to get him out of the forest. Just putting this out there)

So I mean, I get the appeal. The sexual tension, the power balance. Man, I actually love how that changes during the season and how Edwin has the upper hand in the end and knows it. It's a very nice dynamic that they have and I get having fun exploring it.

But I was flabbergasted to see people wishing it was endgame, wow. Not trying to be shady, I genuinely did not EXPECT THAT from so many people.

And I wasn't even going to talk about the problematic parts of their relationship (the coersion, the mind tricks, etc), because I've had my share of problematic ships, this is pretty tamed in comparison, lol. But I think it's important that people understand that it's problematic, and then if they decide to keep shipping it anyway, that's cool.

There's a final major point, which everyone already knows, but I'm gonna say it: you can't fall in love with someone like Charles and expect anyone else to beat that. No one will.

[pagodazz]

talk 2 me about..... vinnie and habit dynamic....... when they r chilling or something............... what do you think they get up to when theres nothing more important to be doing

hi I have LITERALLY been waiting for this question my entire life..thank you so much...

here is my playlist of them... I got almost 2000 songs in there so! could listen to this for weeks LMAO (it has exactly 1888 songs. so we're getting close! I also add ur guy's uggestions too!! if they're not already in there lol)

I'm gonna talk about some different scenarios that I feel like would happen between the two of them and idk if I can say some are chill but for them?? yeah it's chill LMAO... tw for domestic violence btw bc they can't have chill without a little violence

some specific songs:

---------------

I think that they are definitely willing to share a bed, I mean especially after the apartment and everything, Vinnie would be ALOT more clingy without even thinking he is. He probably finds himself sleeping in habit's bed while Habit is gone, desperate for any kind of attention and when he opens his eyes, the fan is on, and he feels a warmth next to him and he looks over and there's habit. He's not looking at Vinnie or anything, he's too engrossed in the video game he's playing on the TV across from the bed. He's got the volume down just so he doesn't wake Vinnie. although habit would just say he didn't feel like turning up the volume because he refuses to admit he does anything for Vinnie.

Vinnie would definitely get embarrassed that habit is just there but Habit would honestly be thrilled over it. It just shows that his plan of getting Vinnie to rely on him is working. He'd even offer another controller to Vinnie if he wants to play and Vinnie would say no and he'd just lay there in silence watching habit's face as plays the game (most likely BioShock I feel), and they're cats are asleep at the end of the bed and Vinnie can't believe that he's actually found somewhere that he can exist without having to worry that he's gonna cause someone's death.

they both like their silence but they both hate feeling alone so I think them sharing a space with each other makes a lot of sense. They can't stand being out of each other's sight.

And I don't think that Vinnie would think of Evan either, sometimes he likes habit more than he's ever liked Evan and he hates to admit that to himself.

------------

Vinnie definitely finds himself daydreaming about what him and habit are gonna do. He's so left out of Habit's plans he's probably making up the craziest scenarios and he'll even talk about them with habit and he'll just talk about how excited he is to one day do something super important with habit. He'll convince himself that Habit has only the best planned for him and that Habit cares for him so deeply that he gets physically violent because of all the love he has for him. it's twisted but so is Vinnie. He doesn't want normal, I mean he does, but not when he could be with someone as powerful as habit. And you just KNOW Vinnie is praising habit often when he's not being a smartass.

----------------

Say that just got done being in a massive fight. And by massive I definitely mean physical. Vinnie most likely brought up something about leaving habit or asked to go outside which pissed Habit off to the point of getting violent. Habit doesn't want Vinnie to even THINK about leaving him. he doesn't want Vinnie to believe that's an option, he wants Vinnie to stay with him no matter what, he can't risk losing him to anything or anyone, even himself sometimes, which is probably why he leaves the house often.

Habit wouldn't just slap Vinnie or anything he would grab him by the hair and drag him down the stairs while telling him all the awful things that would happen to him if he left the apartment, and Vinnie's kicking his feet and trying to fight back but he can't even bring himself to hurt habit in anyway so all he can do is try to pull away. Habit would tell him that slenderman would be there in an instant to rip him apart and ruin his life yet again if he stepped out those doors. or worse there would be monsters he's never even heard of before. Habit would tell him if he leaves Vinnie is just gonna kill more innocent people indirectly while tossing him against the door and telling him to just leave them if he's so sure he wants to leave so bad. Habit would be walking back up the stairs leaving Vinnie there, most likely with a black eye and bloody nose, he wouldn't look back because he knows he doesn't have to. Because Vinnie is already crawling back up the stairs saying he's so sorry, he's telling Habit that he never should've thought like that, he should've never brought it up to habit. He should've kept his mouth shut, can habit please forgive him? can he let him stay?

And of course he can stay. That's when habit changes, not really though. Habit would help Vinnie to his feet and he'd be shushing him telling him that he forgives Vinnie for his behavior. He would get all, "You know I'd never do this if you didn't deserve it." and "I'm only doing this to protect you, you wouldn't be able to survive out there alone. It's not safe for you." and he'd be so pleased about the fact Vinnie is just nodding along and even saying thank you. Habit would take him to the bathroom and he would go out of his way to be overly affectionate and caring with Vinnie now which obviously send Vinnies mind in circles. Vinnie just got done being dragged the stairs and now habit is cleaning his face, honestly he'd even wash Vinnie's hair if it would get him to rely on him more.

After Habit would make Vinnie dinner and they'd sit on the couch instead of at the dinner table and Habit would throw his arm around Vinnie and pass him the remote and tell him to pick whatever he wants and Vinnie would lean into it. Why wouldn't he? he's so desperate for affection, for any attention and there Habit is, giving it to him. He'd say he's sorry for earlier again, since Vinnie feels guilty for upsetting Habit and Habit would put his hand on Vinnie's face pushing his thumb against the bruise on vinnie's face a little and then moving his hand to vinnie's hair messing with it, all while saying, "It's okay, champ! we all make mistakes!" while just hours before this, habit had his hand in Vinnie's hair dragging him down the stairs. It wouldn't make Vinnie panic, infact it'd probably make him push aside everything that has happened and he'd be so grateful that habit is letting him stay.

--------------

They're definitely just all around way more affectionate with each other than they are violent. Habit would kiss (like those over dramatic sloppy ones that are disgusting. like you just hate it HELP. does this make sense. it's not even that romantic or anything habit just doesbit to be funny) all over vinnie's face just to see Vinnie get all flustered and wipe his face off because he thinks it's adorable. Habit can't be human, but he found someone who actually makes him feel like he is. Vinnie doesn't treat Habit like he's something he should fear, Vinnie truly sees habit as a partner and not a just a pawn to his next step and all habit has ever truly wanted is to be wanted. To not be alone. He wants company with him as he commits chaos.

Habit could come home after a rough week of annoying victims that barely satisfied him and he'll throw himself onto the couch into vinnie's waiting arms to complain about everything and anything and Vinnie would sit there and be on his side (with some light teasing), and habit just can't believe it. He's got something of his own for once. Vinnie chose HIM. Habit doesn't know how to be normal and he could never be normal and he would never be able to have a healthy relationship but I'd say his relationship with Vinnie is most likely the healthiest one he's EVER had. I mean canonically habit has never even broken any of Vinnie's bones.

He probably tells Vinnie that this is his favorite iteration of Vinnie too. He'd say shit like, "Y'know the old you's probably would've never let me get this close." and Vinnie would feel,,, almost special?? he would say shit like "Well it's a good thing I'm not them anymore, right? I like what we got going on." and habit would think about it for days.

---------

I'd say that they've definitely just found some sort of peace and comfort with each other. Even though they have screaming matches and habit will get physical and even sometimes Vinnie will get physical back, (he is literally the definition of reactive abuse) and after they'll just sit on the couch together while habit holds a bag of peas against vinnie's fresh black eye and Vinnie would say he doesn't need to be babied and habit would tell him to stop being a baby then. they definitely watch a ton of movies and shows and Vinnie has to BEG for habit to let him watch what he wants to watch. habit will always say Vinnie picks the worst shit but every single time Vinnie turns something on habit is engrossed and obsessed with it. He'll even stand in front of the TV with his hands on his hips like a dad would and he'd ask questions 24/7 which Vinnie wouldn't mind answering because he loves to yap.

they both talk SO much they won't be able to shut up and they genuinely do get along on ALOT of stuff. Habit literally picked Vinnie because he has a good sense of humor. So you KNOW they're laughing over the worst shit known to man. Especially later on in the series where Vinnies been deeply effected by habit. I'm always so obsessed w how you can see habit's influence on Vinnie when he kills Evan. Like that's habits hard work paying off guys. he'd be so fucking proud.

------

SO YEAH I HOPE THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED LMAAOOOO. I always have so much to say and It's so unbelievably difficult for me NOT to torture Vinnie just a LITTLE bit

[rileys-battlecats]

If you haven’t already answered this yet, can I ask why MicaClan chose the territory they currently live in? It seems like an interesting decision to choose such a different area to try to survive in. Although the more lush area probably means less droughts and higher elevation could possibly mean less flood risks, avoiding the two major issues that caused them to move in the first place. They still have to relearn everything though in such a different area. Or was there less thought behind it and it was more just get to higher ground to avoid the water and then they got tired of traveling and decided to stop once they were sufficiently high up?

Also can I ask what kind of border threats they faced when establishing their new territory? Were there other groups of cats? Was it mostly predators and dangerous animals? Did dogs or twolegs pose a challenge to their borders?

Sorry I kinda have a lot of questions haha I just really like your story and characters and settings and everything and wanna know all I can about them and get a deeper knowledge of everything

I AM SO HAPPY TO RECEIVE THIS QUESTION

You're right that there were material aspects as to why they chose to settle where they did; the mountain seemed like a good place to avoid any more catastrophic floods with the high elevation, the spring-fed stream that runs through the territory also seemed like a guarantee against any future droughts, and the area had plenty of prey to feed the clan. But the real deciding factor was the soil!

The idea was basically that they found a place where the very ground seemed to be blessed by Starclan. I've written about this on the blog before, but it was wayyy way back and I haven't mentioned it again since then HAHA, but I based Micaclan's territory on a place I used to hike every now and again. The area used to be the location of a mica mine, and the ground there still sparkles with all the tiny shards of minerals in the ground (which is actually why they're called Micaclan; I gave them the name before I'd fully decided on the clan not being from the area originally lol). So they basically were like "if this isn't a sign from Starclan then I don't know what is" and set up camp! It ended up being the right choice in the end, because they found the Moonmirror in the abandoned mine on their territory, which gave them much needed access to Starclan (even if they can't use it outside of emergencies).

For border threats, I imagine them dealing with all sorts of things, especially in the beginning when they were just establishing their borders. I think of micaclan's territory being far enough from human civilization that they don't have to worry about construction or cars or anything, but close enough that they have a human hiking trail acting as one of their borders, or at least having a hiking trail close enough that they have to deal with the occasional stray dog or human. In addition to this, predators like black bears or coyotes would make trouble for the clan, and maybe a mountain lion drifted through the territory at one point (which would have been a harrowing time indeed).

As for rogues or other groups of cats, I think they might've brought that trouble with them! It's hard to conceal a big group of cats traveling in search of a new territory, and I think they drew some unwanted attention on their way up to the mountain. Maybe other groups noted them, and decided to let the strangers do the hard work of staking out a good territory before swooping in to take their place? I don't think there were any other cats living where Micaclan ends up, so they wouldn't be contesting land with any other resident cats. Those that threatened their new borders were usually looking to try to take their place. Basically they were like "so the weirdos you pegged as 'death within the month' 5 moons ago are actually now thriving and looking well-fed and healthy living on the mountain? I guess it can't be THAT dangerous, why don't we live up there instead? they can find somewhere else again, they're obviously good at finding nice territories."

the general gossip on micaclan as a group through the years basically goes like this: I heard there was a big group (a clan?) passing through looking to set up a new territory, hope they don't settle here -> apparently that big clan that passed through a few moons back is living further up the mountain? wonder how long it'll be before they're eaten by bears -> there's a big group of cats living further up the mountain, maybe the mountain makes for a good territory after all... -> there's a weird cat cult up the mountain and if you step on their turf they will Kick Your Ass

How have I made bunny and Clyde so freaking adoreable in my brain 😭 I don't care how violent they'd be to protect their babies because I love them and I get it... please do headcannons on their family life I'd kill for this family. I won't give you more kids cuz I don't wanna overload on the children lol but if you wanna add more and need ideas just drop a post and I'll be straight on it... I love this almost as much as I love the normal horny crazy shenanigans

I mean same. This morning I was like, nah they wouldn't really have kids and now I'm like *slams desk* give them all the kids!!!

And babe you can send me messages about whatever you want at any time 🩷

Ok lemme think....

I was imagining some older kids too like 15-17 year olds who are a bit less impressionable that the little ones but they still absolutely love being with Bunny and Bucky.

I love the idea that any time they mention a special interest or hobby they find all the kit they need to pursue it in their room the next day.

I think the only real rule there is in the house is to look after each other. You and Bucky want to make your kids happy and keep them safe, anything else can be sorted out with cash (or secret violence lol).

🩷

I imagine the day starts with a good breakfast and a reminder of all the stuff that has to be done that day.

I feel Bucky sits reading a paper and sipping on a coffee, greeting his various kids, asking them about their homework, checking to make sure there aren't any issues. Baby bunny will often sit with him, sipping on a glass of water like it's vodka, reading the comic section that he put aside for her (screaming) as she tucks into her cereal.

Bunny is in full chaos mode, fussing over everyone, doing hair and making sure teeth are brushed. One of the teenage girls comes downstairs in an emotional panic because the boy she's seeing hasn't texted her all morning.

Both you and Bucky frown because boys but you also take her to one side and craft the perfect message and explain how to make him suffer all day for his foolishness.

Both you and Bucky keep his name stored away in your head for later, just in case.

Bucky is semi-retired at this point so when all the kids are at school the days are spent with you, which is just divine. I could say more but you should know them well enough by now to know what happens when they are alone 😉

🩷

Evenings are filled with nice little routines that are only visible if you really look for them. But for kids who need structure it means the world.

Dinner is eaten together. You try and cook in the early days and it's kind of a disaster so Bucky suggests you hire a cook who can cater for the needs of everyone without any fuss. It feels a little like failure but when Little Rabbit scoffs down a broccoli based dish without complaint, you decide it's a good idea.

Unless the kids have an after school club you will all cuddle up and watch TV or movies together. Because Thumper is a scaredy cat you end up watching a lot of competition shows because they are low risk and suitable for everyone.

The older kids might hang out in their room, but they kinda enjoy the chaos of sitting with you guys and the little ones watching crap on tv.

You get the update on the boy from school (he came crawling back immediately), Bucky discusses sports with the eldest and the little ones are discussing which Disney princess would be the best at beating up Superman.

You feel very happy in these moments

🩷

Little Rabbit insists on two bedtime stories, one from each of you. Thumper needs you to tell him happy things before bed, with 10 kisses and Bucky tells him that no one will ever get to him because he's the toughest guy on the planet. He also plugs in a night light so he doesn't get scared.

You give Baby Bunny a kiss and a cuddle goodnight and wait by the door as she and Bucky discuss her plans for world domination until she falls asleep mid-sentence.

The teenagers insist they don't need to be tucked in, but they pretend that they are accepting kisses and cuddles from you for your benefit. You don't care, as long as they go to bed knowing they are loved.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Ask about the kitty au: How does Vox react to everything when he's back to normal?

Like Val and Velvette just handing him off, his loss of 50%of his contracts and nearly disappearing?

If this is too many questions you could pick just one to answer lol I just love this au so much.

Also you're awesome and I love how you draw all the hazbin characters! 💕

Vox is nothing if not adaptable. He takes a while to properly bounce back - honestly anyone would, but he's not one to let it show.

From the perspective of Hell at large, Vox simply got tired of his recent business venture and is back to running things as smoothly as he always has.

To Alastor, Vox is an incredible nuisance now that he's 'back to normal', the soul contracts are too valuable to cast away, but being pledged to protect an enemy - even with a contract that denotes that enemy's status as nothing more than a common domestic animal - is a risky matter.

To the Vees, Vox has forgiven and forgotten. He claims he would have done the same if one of them was in his situation. There would have been no reason to keep such a hindrance as an out of control cat in the tower. Valentino in particular is a big fan of a few of the remnants of cathood that remained stuck on after Vox's return to his original form (being a critter for so long, and being so close to fading completely caused some physical aspects of the cursed form to remain 'stuck' after the reversion process). Vox purrs now, and that's absolutely delightful.

Vox, at his core, isn't quite night and day from his various carefully arranged fronts. But it's certainly day and dusk. There's something horrifically existential about what he went through. Such things are a risk of his status, but being aware of the risk does not make him immune to the consequences. The mental scars suck. The physical reminders of his mistake are even worse. To Vox, though, nothing hits him quite as hard as the needling awareness that he kind of misses the simple, lazy life he experienced for that fleeting period of full cathood. It was a little cathartic (if a little boring) knowing that he wouldn't need to worry about anything beyond whether Alastor was going to offer treats or not.

Little physical of what he looks like after being brought back. The tail remained (he is not a fan of this) he still has dark 'sock' patterns on his extremities and red dots where his paw pads would be. He's got a few stripes as well, and there's still a little V on his forehead

My Hear Me Out Takes for hb:l

I feel like with the recent fics, it shows that y/n chooses to breakup with Rafe because SHE HAS TO. Ward cutting off Rafe through financial support. I wouldn't even be shock if he would completely cut Rafe off's in his life just to see how long will Rafe crawl back to him and tell him "I'm sorry, dad. You're right, I shouldn't have choose her." type of apology because he is petty af, and wants to prove something.

Y/n must've breakup with Rafe to save him from his falling relationship with his father, she was being realistic, Rafe and her couldn't support each other financially without Rafe sacrificing his athletic career and she couldn't live with that kind of idea. Her not only unintentionally ruining Rafe and Ward's relationship she is on the verge of ruining his academic and athletic career. So she had to choose, and she choose to save everyone. Even if it will cause pain to her and Rafe. She needs to be smart, because she know Rafe would choose her and would sacrifice everything he has just to make their situation work and she can't risked it.

I know for sure that she kept the baby and the babies name is starts with "E" because of her playlist "e's favourite" w/ a cat picture a sign thay this playlist contains songs that is appropriate for babies or toddler. And maybe, just maybe, Grant is involve. Cause why is he introduce and was not given a chance to go in depth introduction in early chapters right?? He might helped y/n and her kid to settle, because I also remember, y/n hunting for big apartment outside campus with the help of Grant. Maybe Grant is somewhat related to her? Maybe, cousin? Or just simply a good friend of hers.

I feel like y/n's parents was adamant and mad at first regarding on her revelation and her keeping the baby but still ended up with them supporting her and maybe, just maybe, helped her take care of the baby.

She must've hide the truth from Rafe and Ward about keeping the baby, because she knows that the pregnancy and the relationship with Rafe was seen as a distraction to Ward's eyesight. So she needed to save both her future husband and unborn child away from his unhinged granpa, lol.

Y/n feels like a type of person that would definitely sacrifice something so just she could save her love ones, even if it meant hurting herself. She is selfless, explaining why she choose not to talk bad or avoid talking about her past relationship with Rafe, to avoid unintentional drama and misunderstanding that could lead to her and Rafe's image in their uni.

Her vibe every chapters, screams like a soft classy girl that wears vanilla scented perfume and has a soft but strong minded personality. When she choose to be a softie she cwn and when she chooses to punched someone's face she can. SHE IS INDEED A ✨ MOTHER✨ .

TW: MISCARRIAGE

I don't want to think this way and this route is the possible worst case scenario, but here it is.

There is also a chance Ward tried to k— the baby. Maybe doing sneaky shits to lead y/n having miscarriage:( (pls don't or imma burn him alive)

Y/n can also have miscarriage because of the stress, them struggling to figure it all out and how to live day-by-day without depending on their parents and her not telling them yet about the truth.

I'm still on side of her keeping the baby but hiding it away from those people who don't need to know about the truth.

Anw, How's your day been? I hope you're doing well, Zya. I hope you're having proper rest and sleep!!

Your SMAU are to die for, knowing you have more up to sleeves, we can't wait to read them. Imma start putting alot of seat belts on from the upcoming roller coaster rides for your future works. You're doing great! You know how tp SERVE.

i couldn't seem to answer this ask on my phone, so i had to go on my laptop for this, but i love ur hear-me-outs. it makes logical sense and i love u can follow a line of thought about reader's intent and reasoning. especially with the piling evidence from the recent chapters <3

and i absolutely adore how much u guys are picking up the hints this time around!! it's makes me so proud, like yesss i raised a bunch of detectives. and i answered it before but grant is her cousin. originally, he was going to have a bigger role in the series (and in making rafe jealous) but with the flow and the trajectory of the plot, i realized i don't have time and because it feels regressive to go back to petty arguments such as jealousy.

and i love ur characterization of reader! i see her as serena from love island usa; that's the type of personality i was going for. she's soft, but not a pushover, she's kind and selfless, but she's also a bundle of joy and sweet! she's firm on who she is, what she is, and she stands her ground (sometimes leading to violence) in a way that is necessary. but overall, she opts not to unless it's the last choice. i love love that her personality shines through enough for u to pick it up!!

to answer ur final question: thank you! i've been doing good. i slept for 3hrs (went to sleep at 1 and woke up at 4) but i haven't been able to go back to sleep, so now i'm just here. i think i'm about to post, but i gotta fix out the dialogues.

and to ur compliment: thank you! i'm so happy you've stuck around this along, and how ur so invested u have these mapped-out theories to go! it makes me so happy to know my fics have such a profound impact that people spend time to analyze and come up with conspiracies! thank you for being here, ily <3

[sreppub]

im a different anon but YEAAS AHYES that reasoning for the RR au is so REAL!!! i recently described it to a friend that i think reverse robins bruce matures in a different way because he cannot Run Away from being a father by calling damian his ward. and that half of why I like it is bc i think rr!dick would have a bruce that was 100% ready to be a father to him. the bruce canon (or fanon like u said lmao) dick deserved to grow up w

it's all in good fun and i play with relationship dynamics like barbie dolls :)

I have a very long stream of consciousness headcanon about batdad below. Read at your own risk lol

my batdad constants, reverse robins or not: first kid has so much freedom. bruce isn't much of a parent, he vaguely knows kids should go to school and eat vegetables and it's probably fine to sit in the passenger seat if he has his seatbelt on, right? (bruce hasn't had his parents since he was 9, and while alfred loves him, alfred himself was not ready for parenthood and also straddles the house staff/nanny/father lines and so basically he and bruce love each other but They Are A Little Weird.)

The first kid teaches Bruce a lot, but Bruce is pretty easily convinced to an extra hour of patrol or an unreasonable purchase. (dont get me started on the money. dont tell me bruce is normal with money before the kids start putting things in perspective for him.) (Dick thinks Bruce's rich-guy-ness is funny, but mostly doesn't care. when something costs more than $100 jason is mortally offended.)

It takes a few years, but eventually alfred's pointed commentary on bruce's parenting skills (communication not great in this mcmansion) cause bruce to read those parenting books (+ mommy blogs depending on which kid) and by the second kid he is ON IT. this kid is gonna get SO dad-ed. in RR, that's duke :)

By the last kid, he's a goddamn helicopter, but also has a bunch of kids to like... delegate lol. once you lose a couple kids and go through trauma after trauma you start thinking maybe, RR dick should not be allowed on the streets until 16 at least.

RR dick is waaaaaay more spoiled too, because the others baby him and he EATS IT UP. I think Jason especially would be a total mother hen if he'd met recently traumatized baby dick while he himself was still baby.

So about Dick vs Damian, I think firstborn dick has an idea of what big families and parents are supposed to do (if slightly different due to cultural differences and. Circus.) and has no qualms correcting Bruce about What Kids Are Supposed To Do and Kale is Gross Bruce I Want Funnel Cake.

Damian did not have anything like a regular childhood lol. And I think he would go along with a lot of what Bruce does because for all he knows, this is How To Be A Wayne And Be Good So His Father Doesn't Send Him Back and also bruce promised he wouldn't make damian kill any cats so frankly this rules. bring on the kale.

because kids are resilient and I love them, damian may be a Little Bit Of A Brat and then goes through some big brother trials but comes out all right. is he a little miffed when bruce comes home with some rando? Yes. Is he a little snobby because he grew up a little assassin prince and bruce's privilege did little to dissuade that? Yes. But also he's had some empathy training in his years of living in non-assassin world and he CARES goddamnit.

(but lets not forget communication sucks in this mcmansion so it takes a minute)

[selya711-twiste]

what pose refer- OH

#if you know the pose reference i'm so sorry

poor poor anon. aware of the horrors. although if fellow had this much power since the start he wouldn't be doing all this nonsense huh

bonus giddy:

other meta about Playful Land that I've decided to hide in this post (minor CSM spoilers discussed underneath):

I got into Chainsaw Man during the time this blog was in a coma! if that wasn't obvious already ^-^

Fellow and Guidel growing up in poverty reminded me a lot of Denji and Pochita, and I listen to CSM ost often these days I'm only drawing Fellow as Makima for funnies because they both manipulate others without them knowing, and absolutely nothing else. he's too boyfailure for that.

"The country mouse gets to to live in safety, but doesn't get to eat delicious food like they have in the city. The Town mouse gets to eat delicious food, but runs a higher risk of being killed by humans or cats."

I've also been thinking of this line with them lately, either they live honestly and barely make anything when society rejects them as it is, or work at Playful Land despite its horrid conditions if it means their survival

in which I also headcanon that Fellow's drive in doing this in the first place is his envy, and to fulfill a sense of revenge towards people who get to live normal lives but fell for a "free ticket" the same way Pleasure Island also existed as a metaphor to punish people for giving in to hedonistic desires. So that's why he put up with it for so long especially under his greedy bosses

Not a lot of people talk about how as much as Fellow cares about Guidel, he still roped in a child into this job alongside him and exposing him to this sort of stuff, so I was hoping it'd be discussed more when analyzing their bond together and not just fellow's backstory (or whatever crumbs canon gave us), and that's what I had in mind when writing this

theres nothing wrong with finding guidel cute and silly! hes a cute little guy who is very much loved by his older brother, his... very irresponsible brother. but I think that's why I can still come to love Fellow and how raising and protecting Guidel could've played a bigger part in his change at the ending when he stops everything to start a school instead

I was really hoping that Stage in Playful Land would also give us Ortho-Guidel parallels the same way with Idia-Rollo and how they dealt with their grief in Glorious Masquerade, but this time with "little brothers" and their attachment to their "older brothers" but their autonomy outside of them being brought into question

Anyway, I was wondering how the Playful Land operations would impact Guidel, so I was thinking Fellow probably bullshitted some reasons so it isn't merely just guidel following his brother but also being in on it (that, and middle schoolers are built different.)

This worked until the NRC students brought up something sensitive to them, which was school, and it takes the veil off Guidel's eyes and ears for a second about what they're doing and what sort of lives he and fellow could've had seeing the nrc students have so much fun

Sorry this was all over the place LOL. If you've read this far, the contents in my blog may begin to take a darker turn if I post more about them, so I'm really sorry if you followed me for Rollo fluff... but it's also almost my christmas break, so :DDD

i can still see everyones requests in my inbox, by the way. sorry again.

[i-promise-i-am-not-on-drugs]

Alright, rewatching episode 05×02 of stranger things, let's go!

I'm going to write what I thought/saw in each scenes, so it's probably going to be long.

1) Joyce

Wow, that house is really looking ominous as hell.

2) Will and Mike

Okay first of all THE FAMOUS WILL VOICE OMGJDKKKDKFKSKSJJCJXISKWJXJJWH!!! TuT💕

Sorry.

Anyway, I really like that Mike is trying to help Will by giving him some sort of reason as to why all this is happening.

Also,

Will, stuttering: You really think so?

Mike, softly: Yeah. Yeah, I really do.

This is just so sweet.

3) Hopper

Damn, I forgot about that.

This underground place is so full of toxic spores, I'm surprised he even walked this far!

Also, he was kinda dumb about it. I mean, these spores are pretty huge, I wouldn't go in there without covering my mouth and nose honestly.

Rip Hopper, I know you'll survive that but I feel for you man 🫡

4) Nancy and Jonathan

"you want a single. (side eye) Or a double." LMAO--

Anyway.

(The hand/scar thing is so adorable I love them. )

Damn, amazing communication skills guys. 🙂

5) Mike, Will and Joyce

Love how Mike is staying next to Will, even if he knows that it's probably dangerous. :)

Also,

Will: I think he's in trouble. I think he's going to die.

Woah, that's actually pretty cool. Also creepy, but still pretty cool. :D

6) Hopper

Guess Will has someone to relate with now. (Puking weird and disgustingly slimly Upside Down stuff)

Nice, he finally though about protecting his mouth and nose.

A cigarette really? ._.

I mean, at least he left something.

7) The Sinclairs

(I love Erica she's so sassy)

Miss and Mr Sinclair are such cool parents! :)

They're my favorite adult couple if I'm being honest.

I love how Lucas asked his dad what he does when his mom's angry, it really shows that he has a big crush on Max. And it's pretty cute too! :3

(The Sinclair mens really are a perfect example of "my girl is mad at me I hope I die" lol)

8) the Handersons

Oh noo, Mewsyyyyy..!! :(

Dustin, you smart manipulative little shit. (This is both so sad and so funny help)

That plan to catch Dart was actually really smart!! Amazing job Dustin!! :)

Also, "I'm sorry. You ate my cat." that made me laugh for like two minutes straight lol--

9) Eleven

That random man in the truck was so nice, I hope he'll succeed in whatever he's doing in his life.

Alright, go find your mom El. I don't remember how that went, but hopefully not too bad.

ELEVEN MY GIRL YOU CAN'T JUST USE YOUR POWERS TO ENTER SOMEONE'S HOUSE DEAR---

Alright, that went.... Alright I guess... Hhh...

10) Nancy, Jonathan and Murray

Murray is such an interesting character, I really liked this part.

Also, completely destroying his evidences was such a Nancy thing to do lol--

11) Max and Lucas

(Hell yeah, fuck Billy. Anyway.)

Alright, I really love lumax, and I know that it wouldn't have happened if this scene didn't, but I still think it was a bad decision to tell Max what happened.

I know she "accepted the risk", but she wasn't taking it seriously and that was pretty dumb (but completely understandable) of her.

Now, let's go Lucas. Put your future girlfriend in the secret!

12) Will, Mike, Joyce, and Bob

Wow, Bob is actually really, really smart. I forgot about that too.

(Also, I really love how Mike and Will are always next to each other. That's cute. ^^)

13) Hopper

Okay, first of all, ew.

And then, good job Jim!! You found an exit! :D

14) Dustin (+Erica)

I mean, at least the cat got a proper grave.

Ooohhhh,, right. He cleaned the blood. Must be slightly traumatic.

Like I said before, I love Erica and her sassy attitude, but right now it's not playing for her side. Not cool Erica.

15) Eleven and Becky (+Mama) (forgot her name)

I really love how understanding Becky is there. She's trying to stay calm and find aweser, without pushing El to get them. It's nice.

And I forgot that her mom also had some kind of powers, that's pretty cool!

16) Will, Mike, Joyce, and Bob

He's really, really smart. That's cool.

Poor dude must be so confused thought--

17) Dustin and Steve at the Wheeler's

Damn, two hours is fucking long--

Anyway.

Ted is pretty fucking useless, you're right Dustin. I like how it's really clear that Dustin has no respect at all for Ted, I mean he's swearing without even thinking twice about it! Really shows how passive Ted is in everyone's lives.

Steve coming to give Nancy flowers and "apologize"... My boy stop lying to yourself, you know this relationship is already fucked.

Anyway.

It's funny how Dustin orders him around and he doesn't even blinks lol

18) Hopper

Yep, the spores are getting to him again.

And the vines, apparently. Rest in pieces my dude. (Sorry)

19) Lucas and Max (+Billy)

I mean, of course she's not going to immediately believe you, who would! I mean, at least she has some doubts.

Alright, fuck Billy again, in a non sexy way, can't wait to see him die. (/hj)

20) Nancy, Jonathan, and Murray

Murray thinking with alcohol and music is so funny to me.

Also, he's so right about the counter thing.

Anyway.

That scene is so badass. ✨

21) The Lab

Welp, that's weird as fuck.

22) Eleven, Becky, and Mama

Well, that for sure was intense. Also made me really uneasy, but it was pretty interesting.

Guess we know why "rainbows" now.

Also, tinny eight (I forgot the name she chose), if it is actually her, is so adorable. :)

23) Will, Mike, Joyce, Bob, Hopper, and Hawkins Lab

Poor Bob is confused as hell.

The way Joyce is immediately clinging to Hopper to make sure he's okay makes me kinda sad for Bob, but I guess we know why.

(Also, Jim almost forgetting his hat and going back to take it was so funny to me lol)

Alright now, Will.

Nothing much to say here, but HOLY HELL WHAT THE FUCK MY POOR BOY IS HAVING A SEIZURE!!!! DO SOMETHING PEOPLE??

— End note

Welp, that episode was something! I'll watch the next one in a bit.

[mikuchan]

BG3 Marriage Rankings

Mikuchan version. Would it end in love or hurt (or would it even get off the ground)? main girls and guys + cherrypicked side characters

1: Alfira. at the risk of being self-pandering, I REALLY think we would work. I would write my stories, she would write her music. I'd work at a Baldur's Gate printing press or something and support her music career. We'd hype each other up. We could adopt a cat.

2: Gale...I was a Gale Hater for a long time but I'm eating my words lately. He is very cool and we'd work well together. And to be real, "eloquent man who's very skilled, into deep lore, is also a good cook" describes both Gale and my irl husband. I do think I would struggle with the Mystra thing but I have enough past issues of my own to relate + hopefully mutually get over it.

3: Aylin. Again, "strong cool confident person who loves deeply" is just my irl spouse. I thrive under constant touch and reassurance lol and I appreciate loud people. On the flip side I think I would temper some of her brashness. I did rank her below Alfira/Gale because I'd be insecure about the immortality/mortality thing.

4: Karlach...we both feel deeply, but also both optimistic enough to haul each other out of the darker parts. Small issues like I think she's way more extroverted while I'm happiest at home, but we could make it work.

5: Wyll. We'd just be sweet together. I could learn how to dance. I feel like he'd enjoy going to yard sales with me.

6: Lakrissa. I love her but we wouldn't have crazy chemistry, if I'm being honest -- her quiet would set me on edge, my waffling would probably annoy her, etc. I think we'd be better as friends. That said, I think we're both determined enough that we could work together in like, an arranged marriage or fake-dating type situation.

7: Dammon. I haven't really dug into Dammon beyond basic game interactions, but he's sweet and I like his muscles his work ethic

8: Isobel. I ranked her middle because probably no obvious problems? but no deep chemistry here either. I like Isobel a lot. I hated her at first because I thought she looked a little like myself and I'm a betta fish with a mirror, but I'm over that now.

9: Shadowheart. I love her but we'd have terrible communication, we'd both go passive aggressive cattiness instead of bringing up our issues. BUT if we could get over that, I think we'd do well.

10: Minthara. I think we have the same problem of 'dislike' being our initial impulse re: new people (or situations, or things) (#born2hate) but if we were in a forced proximity situation like the bg3 quest, I think we would both get over it. Like Shadowheart, I think we'd either be at each other's throats and end in divorce or learn to work together and be one of those rude judgy couples.

11: Rolan. I waffled on him because on the one hand, I think we'd do very well at pushing each other to greater heights, supporting one another, but I also know we wouldn't totally gel. He's more committed than I am, but I'm more quick to be indignant and would get annoyed at his passivity under Loroakan. We'd be better as workplace frenemies slash cheerleaders.

12: Jaheira... she would not want me and my parent issues... she would probably appreciate my old lady hobbies but also I'd say 'pog' and she'd dump me

13: Mizora. I ranked her lower because it would absolutely end in divorce and possibly death (my death) but yes would 100%. I see a hot evil woman with horns and red hair all my self respect and moral quandaries fly out the window. I would sign that sugar baby contract. good time not a long time and all that.

14: Halsin. we'd be great on some coffee dates, but I'm too monogamous for his free love + not into literal bears.

15: Minsc. I would mumble something half-articulated, then get annoyed when he doesn't read my mind and know what I mean by it. I like Boo though.

16: Lae'zel. Low in this list through no fault of either party, but she would be unimpressed by me and I'd be intimidated & annoyed by her.

17: Raphael. similar to Mizora but lower because I like Mizora more, and I don't like Harleep.

18: Orin. I would try sooo hard. I would take her to Costco, I'd take her to a smash room, I'd introduce her to slam poetry. I'd buy her flowers and bones etc. I would give her so much love and support BUT I pass out at the Red Cross giving blood safely and cleanly with four kind nurses hovering over me and my weird blood. I would NOT survive a Bhaal ritual or even the minorest of knifeplay. She'd eatme alive.

19: Astarion. between first playthrough to now, Astarion and Gale flipped in my rankings. I wish him all the best but not for me.

20: Gortash, no shade to his lovers but I hate this guy.

[wingsofescape]

I was tagged by the lovely @littlewitchbee thank you dear 💕

are you named after anyone? YES! Buckle up kids it's a long one– so, without trying to doxx myself my first name is actually two names. My parents had settled on one after months of back and forth, but lo and behold, three weeks before I was born my aunt A ended up in a terrible accident and we almost lost her. Luckily she pulled through and I was born a few weeks later, on her 27th birthday. So they added her name to mine and made her my godmother.

when was the last time you cried? yesterday lol I'm having a bad BPD episode

do you have kids? Nope and I'm very on the fence about having them considering how pregnant people and mothers are treated by society and how it impacts earnings and puts you at risk of domestic violence. That being said, sometimes I look at my boyfriend and my uterus whispers indecent things like "but wouldn't it be nice to have his babies"...

do you use sarcasm a lot? Me? Use sarcasm? Never in a million years I could not–

(it's basically my fifth language)

what sports do you play? Pole dancing! I love it despite the bruises I constantly get from training.

what's the first thing you notice about people? eyes and smile (and if it's someone I could be attracted to, ass)

what's your eye color? 💙

scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings earned through a shit-ton of angst

any special talents? I can touch the tip of my nose with my tongue?

also embarrassing my boyfriend with my dirty jokes

where were you born? Copenhagen baby, in one of Denmark's historical heatwaves

what are your hobbies? Writing, pole dancing, psychology, burlesque, acting, daydreaming about blorbo from my shows and collecting fairy lights

do you have pets? not atm but I've had a cat, a dog, mice, a bunny, and turtles. But my landlady has a cat (who's currently asleep on my lap) and I consider him my pet too.

how tall are you? 5'10"

favorite subject in school? English or drama

dream job? I'd love to be paid to frolick, really. I do not dream of labour. But I'd love to be a writer/actor/pole dancing/burlesque dancer/psychology researcher hybrid. is it obvious I have ADHD

Tagging @darkpersonapeace @woahpip @stellucis @aerialworms @asthmaticbee @mildly-nerdy @alighted-willow @wickedcriminal @snugslikesfma @honorthysalad and whomever I'm forgetting who usually tags me in these things!

[hellcatinnc]

Day 16 - Natsume Asahina - Brothers Conflict

This man isn't per say my favorite character in Brothers Conflict but I do feel like he has the most to offer and the most sincere loving man who could even be a good husbando and father. These are my reasons why.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He Loves Cats

You just can't not find a man irresistible when he loves his kitties and takes good care of them. If you purr for him he will pet you too. He even named his furbabies after his twin brothers how sweet is that. This is a guy who will use pet names for his partner and gush about you to his cats(yes I said that right lol). Even though he is a bit of a introvert until he warms up to you but once your in his heart you really are the center of his world.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Way He Looks At You

When he looks at you he will make you feel things you never thought you could. Whether it be bedroom eyes and all you can do is want to rip his clothes off. Or you can feel all the love in his heart with the sincerity in his eyes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He Loves Holding You & Kisses

He is the man that likes to pull you close and feel your breath on his face as he builds up the excitement before crashing his lips into yours with so much passion he will leave you breathless. Holding you in his arms even when he isn't kissing you is also a thing he loves with your soft body to his.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He Is Grateful

No matter what you he is grateful for all you are and what you give him. He loves when you make him breakfast and when you pamper him with a game night just you and him. Yes he is a gamer and that makes him even more grateful he has a kickass gamer wife. He will tell you often how grateful he is to you and all you do.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

His Sexiness

This man runs in the mornings before starting his day with a hot shower. He likes to walk out in just a towel to tease you. He is up for a morning time tryst if you are and who wouldn't want to be up against this rock hard body. He has alot of stamina even after all the running. After your fun he will grab you and pull you in the shower with him this time helping you cool things down together after heating things back up.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loves To Give Gifts

He isn't always the best at gift giving but that doesn't matter he still likes to show you with his actions of how much he wants to pamper and spoil you. He is a typical husbando here he tries to pay attention to what his lover likes but sometimes he falls short, but he won't stop trying to spoil you with things you want and need.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He Will Always Comfort You

He is there to listen to your problems and a shoulder to cry on. He will even stand in the rain if he needs to just so your safe and sound. Which means he would put his health at risk to make sure you are not alone and have the comfort you need from him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He's Loyal To Family

He loves his family and is a good brother he does look out for them as a big brother even though he isn't the oldest. He is this way with his partner as well once she becomes the world to him he is more loyal than he is to his family which means he puts you on a pedestal to keep you protected, loved, and honored.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He Expresses His Feelings

He may be quiet at times and as a introvert that is to be understandable but when he gets to his breaking point there is no way this mans mouth will stay shut if he doesn't pull you in to kiss you then he will bluntly tell you he is in love with you. Thats not a simple I love you no he makes sure you know he is head over heels for you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He Needs You

Even though he has a good job and a nice place of his own. Even though he seems happy with just him and his cats. He needs you and in time it took him to see that more than ever. He loves coming to you to talk and hold you for you but it also is for him deep down.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He Likes To Pamper You

He likes to spoil you even more whether its a road trip in the car or a nice dinner together he is always thinking ahead. He will even take you on vacations to make you happy and make you feel pampered. He goes the extra mile to make sure it is all of what you want.

Something that I have always been curious is the fact that mile doesn't like or isn't a touchy person yet from the beginning he was fine with apos affection like compared to now apo was a cat giving him hugs, head butting his shoulder when shy, putting his feet on his legs and mile just let it happen. I wonder if it's because they had to play a couple he let himself get use to apos affection so its easier doing intimate scenes or he just genuinely felt comfortable around apo probably both lol.

nasdlkfjlas;kfjd as I was just very publicly discussing with @ohyesididnotjustdothat, Mile initiated the excessive levels amounts of physical contact by shoving his tongue down Apo's throat in the first audition 😂😂😂 Mile really said: "if I only get one shot at this, Imma take it"

But it seems like a good time for us to re-enjoy some of their old intimacy workshop footage 💖

As I said in my meta about their chemistry, the trust they have between them was fought for and earned together. Many actor pairings can have an intense level of chemistry (well, this intense is rare still), but what they worked on is the trust element for how they fit together in the physical aspect of their work. Even if that is sometimes trusting your partner when they do something a little unexpected within a scene *cough* "footsie" *cough*

As for their tendency to be extra toochy tooch tooch within the context of their personal relationship and why... well. I wouldn't analyze that too much. Physical contact is comforting, and humans really need physical contact. Actually one of the greatest risks for seniors in western societies is how often they don't get enough physical contact.

If you enjoy it, just enjoy them being cute. :)

also please enjoy this cute edit @soft-husbands of them holding hands today.

What do you think of Athena's fear(s)? Is it really that she's afraid they won't have things to talk about? And do you think it plays into why she doesn't want a promotion or even retirement?

To be honest, I think on some level I understand Athena, I always have this fear that even with close friends when we meet if we don't share work or a degree process we won't have anything to talk about.

And I get it she's a cop, her spirit itself is restless, she can't relax, she's always looking for the worst case scenario, it is understandable.

But she went to see Frank and she didn't really talk about it, she also refuses to talk about it with Bobby and makes him feel alienated and on some weird footing where he's chasing her and she's avoiding him.

There is also the fact that this should have been a fear at the beginning, why now? And why not bring that up before going on the cruise.

I understand her, but I hate that she's hurting Bobby, leaving him to talk to the AA group on the ship about his problems.

I mean, the setting was hilarious, but also in a way heartbreaking, because he felt alone on a ship full of people on a holiday with his wife.

He just wanted them to be together without the fear of imminent death, I don't think that's a lot to ask.

I have a lot of thoughts, but it all boils down to one bottom line, nothing is without risk, so you need to take the quiet moments where you can get them, otherwise you end up doing a cat and mouse chase on a vacation, only for it to be taken by shooters the next moment.

About Athena retiring, people like Athena don't retire, they get retired either by force or by death.

My Grandfather, bless him, has been officially retired for a long time, and he still comes to work every day. Some people don't know how to enjoy life after the big work race, they need it for their health, for their sanity.

Bobby, like me, is planning his retirement, the fun, travel around the world, and move to Toscana and paint for the Golden Years stage (might just be me lol).

For Athena, that may as well be a death sentence, because she wouldn't know what to do with the peace and relaxation even if it kicked her in the behind.

So lots of talks and therapy are to be made here, let's hope they both survive this cruise long enough to get there. 🙏
