[triaelf9]

Oh noooo they dropped him in a river oh noooo poor Alucard oh noooo hee hee XD

Castlevania Nocturne you are my favorite 💕❤️💕❤️💕

[finzphoenix]

Hi Finz!!!!!!! Still can't get over the fact we're mututals because your art is so good, ahhhhhh-

What's your reaction to the newest chapter of Batman: Echoes '89? (Or something like that) because I for one am FROTHING AT THE MOUTH!!!!! Why did they have to make everyone so hot....

Look at his smile, he's so precious 🥺🥺🥺🥺 (also, what's your reaction to this man being confirmed as this universe's Riddler?)

But let's also not forget the man himself, the Master of Fear.... he absolutely SLAYS with the gas mask, oh my God

I wasn't sure at first how to feel about him, but OH BOY do I love him now!!!

Apologies for the rambling, anyways: your thoughts on the designs and how things are going in the story so far?

Your thoughts are my thoughts exactly, dear! ^///^ Edward is the cutest and it's incredibly endearing how both of their smiles could light up an entire room! This story has been such a pleasant surprise. It's unique, gripping, stays true to the '89 vibe of the movie without being too silly, and Crane is down BAD for well-read men... I mean, what's not to love?

Regarding Scarecrow's design, like you, I had some trouble warming up to it, but the latest issue has finally won me over. Reaaally made me envy Bruce! 👀👀💦

A shadow falls over you and you feel the rain stop. You look up to see Music Man holding an umbrella over you, his usually bright grin looking oddly hesitant. “The rain can’t be good for you,” you mutter, your voice partially muffled by your hoodie sleeves. “Mmm…last I heard, it’s not amazing for humans either,” he says. He lowers himself down, his six legs curling so that his body hovers just an inch or two above the pavement, which was the closest he could get to actually “sitting” beside you. “Besides, I think I’m still mostly waterproof.” “You think? Mostly?” you repeat, your incredulousness not completely hiding your worry. “Mm-hm,” he says with a nod. He smirks, but not unkindly, adding, “Though…if you’re worried about it, the simple solution would be to come back inside,” he says, holding out his free hand towards you. You briefly consider ordering him back inside without you. You’re not even sure that would work, since Wyatt still technically owns him. You suddenly realize you don’t even want to know if you have that kind of power over Music Man. You don’t want to use that kind of power over him. And that, in turn, only leaves you once choice. The simple solution, as he said. Despite everything, there’s the barest hint of a smile on your face as you place your hand in his.

(Edit: Note that while I draw my sona as the reader in these pics, Cymbal Crash Bar is a Music Man x Reader fic, so Y/N does not actually have canon design. ^^)

[mechanichuntsman]

These are old lmao

[inthelittlewood]

I love the switch between LimLife!Martyn and SL!Martyn so much you don't understand how much it tickles my silly little lizard brain "Nope! We're done! It's doesn't matter if you're a Mean Gill, Bad boy, Neighbor, or a Clocker! You're all dead!"

to

"Pwetty pwease spare a heart for me?????? *Shy fingers* Pweeeaaaseeee! I need it! We can be fwiendsssss.... I've never had fwiends....... *Pleading eyes from a wet cat of a man*"

Wet cat has become my brand this season. I can't control it, I can only push through it. Can't wait to see the art of me with basically Scottish Fold ears and a glum expression xD

OKAY THIS JUST STUCK OUT TO ME

2 YEARS FOR THIS WHY IS HE SO PATHETIC

God I love him so much… 😂😂😂

RAINCODE Fan Meeting Report ②

From after the reading play to around the middle of the daytime program.

Previous Post: RAINCODE Fan Meeting Report ①

⚠️This is a looong post! Please read this only if you have the time.

⚠️Contains spoilers!

There is already a report article on famitsu.com, so it may be easier to understand while looking at the photos on there.

Note: I wrote some related topics together and sequentially, so this post is not exactly the same as the actual order of topics in the event.

------

A short introduction of the guests and some of my personal impressions of each of them:

After the reading play by Fukuhara and Suzushiro, the other guests appeared on stage one by one. Most people introduced themselves normally, but Kodaka's greeting was the only quirky one:

He is probably the only person who would say something like that out of the blue at a fan event 😅

------

After that, a segment titled "Inquiries to the World Detective Organization" began, in which messages from fans were read out.

Apparently a lot of messages were supposed to be read during this segment, but a question to the VAs about their memories of the recording session took longer than expected and ended up being almost entirely about this topic.

As for Yuma's voice recording, Yuma was often panicked, frightened, and dismayed, and Fukuhara was repeatedly asked to make such performances more exaggerated. So he used the voice of a certain boy character as a reference. Then the MC immediately asked:

Japanese people can easily recognize it, but there are probably many who don't, so I'll make it clear. He meant the protagonist of Doraemon (JA: Nobita / EN: Noby)! XD

Doraemon itself has no relation to Spike Chunsoft, but since the voice actress of Danganronpa's signature character Monokuma is the voice actress of Doraemon, it is interesting to note that the protagonist of RAIN CODE is a reference to the voice of Doraemon's protagonist.

I will mention this in my future post about the evening program, but as those who have played RAIN CODE know, when Yuma and Shinigami say goodbye at the end of the story, Shinigami makes an emergency exit appear, and the design of the door is actually very similar to a tool that Doraemon often uses! So the developers must really like Doraemon... 😅

------

As for Shinigami, Suzushiro said that she remembered how long the audition process was. There were more auditions than usual, but she was only given vague requirements and told to perform different patterns, so she said she had no idea what the right voice was, but she gave it her all anyway. The reason for this, according to Kodaka, is that he paid special attention to the type of voice. He wanted to avoid sounding completely annoying, because Shinigami has a lot of terrible things to say to Yuma. So he was looking for a voice that could say horrible things without annoying the player.

By the way, around this topic Kodaka joked, "Since RAIN CODE is a detective story, we made sure to check everyone's backgrounds during the auditions." To which Suzushiro replied, "So that's what those people in the back were!" Then "Don't worry. The results of the investigation showed that everyone was innocent." He continued to joke.

Suzushiro being examined during the audition (My own imagination.):

However, she said that she still struggled to find the right voice for Shinigami after she passed the audition. She said that she had originally planned to change her voice between the spirit form and the true form. She was instructed not to be too mascot-like when playing the spirit form, but when she tried to change the voice, she couldn't help but sound like a mascot, so she ended up speaking the same way as the true form.

She also said that Shinigami talks a lot throughout the game, so she was careful not to make it annoying for the players.

The voice recording for Yuma and Shinigami took a very long time, almost two years. During that time, they recorded almost every week. According to Fukuhara, one of the reasons it took so long was that, Yuma often had to scream or cry, so the recording took a lot of energy, and he was always unable to record the target number of words for that day, which was often carried over to the next time. Then the voices recorded at the end were different from the ones recorded at the beginning, so they re-recorded the lines recorded at the beginning.

------

As for Halara, Ishikawa said that the most important feature of Halara's voice was that she had to have a neutral voice, and that she sometimes received instructions during the recording such as, "Now you sounded a little masculine, so let's take it back a little," or "Speak a little cooler".

Kodaka said that Halara's first person pronoun was "boku" (*generally used by males in Japanese) and his/her appearance was masculine, so he adjusted the impression by adding Yui Ishikawa's graceful voice to give it a feminine impression and make it more neutral.

(This is just my personal opinion, but Halara's appearance doesn't look that masculine...🤔 But I am sure Kodaka said something like that. Well, I guess he means that he/she is masculine because he/she is tall?)

------

As for Desuhiko, KENN said that he had originally imagined a slightly higher voice, but was instructed to speak more naturally and closer to his natural voice. Other than that, there were not much many re-recordings.

------

Kodaka and Sakakibara were asked by the MC about the feedback and reactions they received after the release of RAIN CODE, but Kodaka said that he had not received much feedback. (He seemed a bit hesitant to answer when asked, so I personally speculated that he might have had negative feedback in mind and then denied that he hadn't received much...but that's really a personal guess, so it might just be that he feels he hasn't received that much feedback compared to Danganronpa).

When Sakakibara mentioned sales, Kodaka interupted in like this:

Well, maybe the above does not convey the nuance well. I think if I replace "Kodaka" with "Shinigami," it would make more sense:

haha 😂 Sakakibara was just talking about sales, but Kodaka seemed to be making fun of him, like, "See, producers are quick to want to talk about money!" (This itself is not an actual statement. But the statement in the image above, "It's all about money, after all. Producers are money hungry (結局は金なんですよ、金。プロデューサーは金の亡者だからね)," is true.)

Kodaka was obviously rude, but Sakakibara did not seem to care. (Perhaps Kodaka is usually like this 😅)

Then when the topic of sequels and future developments came up:

I don't think it was just because Kodaka pushed him, but Sakakibara told us that he would like to make a sequel or an anime :)

------

The next segment, "Collect Memory Shards of Master Detectives!", looked back at some scenes from the game.

The first scene that was discussed was the one where Halara kicks open a gate in chapter 1. This is the scene where Halara says it is open, even though he/she kicked it down him/herself. When Ishikawa said that she did not expect the scene to turn out like this when she recorded the audio, Kodaka said that the audio for that scene was actually recorded first and the video was made later. According to him, RAIN CODE has many scenes where the video was adjusted to match the audio in this way. I think this was from him talking about when they had a meeting for the promotion, he said that the scene where Halara kicks open the gate was well received when he showed it to people overseas. (Yeah, it's a funny scene for everyone XD)

------ The next scene was Yuma's disguise in chapter 2. Fukuhara was asked to comment on a message from a fan who said Yuma in disguise was so cute:

Fukuhara said that he had noticed that Yuma was rather originally cute, and then Kodaka said that he had actually initially worn more makeup to emphasize that it was a comedy scene. However, when Komatsuzaki checked the sprites on the actual machine, he said that it might be better to make Yuma just normally cute, and then he modified the sprites. Kodaka commented that he thinks that decision by Komatsuzaki worked.

------

The next scene was when Desuhiko was rejected by Shinigami at the end of the Mystery Labyrinth in chapter 2. In a message from a fan who wanted to know Desuhiko's success rate in picking up girls, and when the topic came up, Kodaka replied, "Zero. But he makes all kinds of excuses for himself, and in his mind they are not supposed to have happened." KENN said, "Uh, so he does mind control, right?" Kodaka agreed and said, "Yes, yes."

By the way, it was funny to hear Ishikawa say "It's cool" in a low voice, perhaps in response to the sound of the word "mind control" here. (To which KENN replied, "Is it cool?" 😂):

------

Then, the scene in chapter 5 where the fact that the meat buns were human flesh was revealed was discussed.

The VAs knew from the script that the meat buns sold in the Kanai Ward were made of human flesh, so they had mixed feelings when they saw the in-game tips about the meat buns.

As for Fukuhara, he somehow said that he had dared Yuma to eat meat buns many times, apologizing over and over again in his mind. (This part of the topic was rather fast-moving, so I did not understand the reason why he did so 😅)

According to Kodaka, in his mind, Yuma was never supposed to eat the meat buns. But before he knew it, Yuma was able to eat the meat buns in the game, and he thought, "Huh?...Oh well." lol

When asked by the MC when he first came up with the idea for the human meat buns, Kodaka replied that it had been there from the very beginning, and that he had recently sorted through his file and found the minutes of a meeting with the former producer in which it was noted that this idea might not be favorable for CERO (the rating system). But he apparently left it ambiguous and pushed it through 😅.

(For your information, the former producer he mentioned was probably Yoshinori Terasawa, the producer of the Danganronpa series. In an interview on dengekionline.com, Kodaka says that RAIN CODE was conceived with former producer Terasawa.)

------ After that, there was an advertisement about the event merchandise available at the venue. It was announced that those who bought the OST could participate in an autograph session with Kodaka. I have already posted a short manga about the autograph session in my previous post.

The VAs had left for the next reading, and only the MC, Kodaka, and Sakakibara were left on stage, and as I recall, the sequel was discussed again at that time. So MC asked Kodaka, "What can fans do to ensure a sequel for RAIN CODE?" Kodaka immediately answered, "Pay money! (課金だよ課金！)". 😂 I laughed a lot at his answer.

(It totally looked like this to me):

Every time he makes a statement like this, I am sure that he IS the person who wrote Monokuma's or Shinigami's lines. lol ------

This is finally half of the daytime program! XD I hope to be able to upload the rest of the daytime program in the next few days. (There's so much more to tell!) Thank you for reading! <3

[k-chips]

I have so many feelings about them.

This series destroyed me, ok? I’ve never been a big fan of Adventure Time, I liked it but I never watched all the eps or learned about the lore BUT I knew about Simon and Ice King so when I found out he was gonna be the mc I watched a 30 minutes video about the lore and started Fionna and Cake XD

This man is literally a wet cat, traumatized and tired old man. He has my whole heart.

[lazuli-starlight]

What are your favourite characters in TSAMS?

Sorry this took so long to answer Anon, my brain has been made of Soup lately. Warning, this is LONG. I either say nothing or I write essays there is no in-between with me.

Anyways

From the very first video TSAMS I have watched, there has always been One Character that my brain latched on to like a deranged wrinkly pink leech and has refused to let go of.

The absolute edgelord theatre kid supreme turned soggy wet dorito, Eclipse.

I’m being serious when I say he is one of my favourite antagonist characters of All Time in any I have ever consumed. Hang on, imma see if I can find the tumblr post I made about half a year ago where I gushed about how much I love his character and copy paste it under the readmore, lol:

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

Been thinking recently about how Eclipse is not only my favorite TSBS character, but perhaps one of my favorite villian characters of all time. He's just so much fun to put under a microscope.

He's done terrible things. He's an absolute Edgelord Theatre Kid Supreme. He's a pathetic sad, wet cat of a man. He will kill without remorse. He's a sarcastic ball of prickles. He's so very smart and also so very dense. He's so overly serious it warps around to being funny. He's a grumpy bear. He's an absolute jerk and cares despite how much he pretends he doesn't. He's a liar, yet somehow authentic in a way other people often are not. He hates people. He is lonely. He is utterly terrified of vulnerability. He yearns to be loved, and perhaps also yearns to love others in turn. His ego is huge. He has been humbled hugely.

I have never been so strongly affected by a character death than Eclipse calling himself pathetic in his final moments. It hurt, despite everything he was, everything he had done. I thought it was a fantastic end for him, a wonderful conclusion to his story. I was still overjoyed when he was brought back. And now he is learning and growing. Everything I had been sad he had been unable to let himself do before his end.

Because, while sometimes bad things happen to people who don't deserve it, it is also true that sometimes somebody who does not deserve a second, third, fourth chance gets it. And sometimes, somebody who you never would think would use it, finally starts the journey to turn their life around. And sticks with it. And, that's something that makes me happy.

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

In present day, he is a protagonist rather than an antagonist, but I still love his character. EAPS has fed me so much in regards to Eclipse’s character and allowed me to do more of one of my favourite things: Put Eclipses Psyche into a Petri Dish and Study it Under a Microscope. That And I admit to having weakness for the following tropes present in EAPS Eclipse: -Bad Guy is Not So Much Reformed But Rather Domesticated Like A Feral Cat -Bad/Mean Guy is Soft For A Specific Person/People -Villain/ Ex-Villain Adopts A Daughter -Ex-Bad Guy Uses Bad Guy Skills To Serve Good Guy Cause -Platonic Tsundere Cares Deeply For Friends and Family -Bad Guy/ Ex-Bad Guy With Friendless Background is Overprotective and Possessive of Their Loved Ones -Long-Term Redemption Stories Full of Character Growth and Character Exploration -Grouchy Person Suffering Played For Laughs -Snark

So yeah, even though EAPS Eclipse isn’t an antagonist any more he is *still* my favourite TSBS Character and I’m so grateful that EAPS is a Thing XD

(Also in the interest of honesty another reason I like Eclipse: I may be aroace but even I find the voice Davis gave him to be attractive. Sue Me.)

[moodymisty]

It seems like a lot of people here like space marines who are either kind himbos or big mean men who will degrade you. And I feel like I’m in the minority when I say that my favourite type of space marines are the deeply pathetic ones. Just absolutely pitiful men, wretched little dudes, if you turned the crying cat meme into an astartes. I need a poor little meow meow whos the posthuman representation of a soggy cardboard box. I want a man who’s gone through multiple levels of torment and will whimper when I gently touch him, but who’s also a living war machine that despite his piteous behaviour could still manhandle me with ease. If anyone knows about space marines who fit this description could you please inform me of them. I need more husbands.

That’s how my night lord Lev is. He’s a fucking nobody rank and file night lord whiny little bastard. He’s sopping wet and pathetic xD

I love this ask lmao

[starry-sophrosyne]

for @sopping-wet-cat-wizard you stinky bastard man- D:< /j /nsrs /ref :

(as per usual this shit got WAY too long on accident so here you go swizard, enjoy XD) (not but this fr got super long, lengthy ass shit under the cut below)

After you said this, I actually struggled to decide between which idea I liked more, bc I hadn't really thought about it too much but their dynamic was def one of the two that you had brought up-

HOWEVER, you know how I was talking about that "community" that Brent introduced Sophist too? That gave him the confidence that he could start a new life, even without a perfectly clean slate, and letting everything hang out because not all but some people would be willing to accept him despite his previous lies and hidden past? Vern is the main player in that-

I wanna say he works at the cafe (omg cafe au reference- /j) that Brent and Sophist frequented when they first started hanging out more casually, with Brent being on good terms with Vern having come to this cafe for so long. Vern is the first person to openly approach him with this pure kindness and the two become good friends, with Brent and Eevee continuing to come here after they break off their respective abusive/toxic relationships.

As for Nick, I'm still really torn. I like the idea of him being a close/the closest colleague of Brent's, working at the same company as him and also being the person to suggest Sophist to Brent.

In the company, he's known as a bit of a slacker, but is very charismatic and popular with everyone, esp the ladies, and he somehow always seems to have luck on his side regarding making business deals, known for his ability to smooth talk his way into lucrative deals that make him favorable to the company (and overwrite his idleness). Outside of work though, he is a frequent client to the "business" ran by Leo. He has hooked up with Sophist atleast once but said it wasn't his thing, and prefers girls over guys, although he doesnt care that much to be honest. He's also a lot nicer than most of the clients, who otherwise stereotypically demand that they get straight to business, and will get to know the workers a little bit. This is what led to his connection with Sophist, as they're good friends and he's one of the only people Sophist talks about his job to outside of the industry (Nick was fucking SHOCKED when he found out the "rich sheltered boy" Sophist was talking about was in fact, Brent, and not another one of his regular vip clients. He did NOT have high confidence in even Sophist to "woo" over Brent, neither did he believe that they had actually done nothing lustful until he asked Brent himself.)

Either this, or as I mentioned earlier, he's one of Sophist's coworkers, although I have less to work with because I don't know how he'd "get out" of the business too without it feeling like a repeated version of sophist's journey, literally start to end- I DO think it would be funnier conceptually though, and better for plot if I did want to make a part two to this au focusing around tcvern3's relationship and the conflict i.e Nick being similarly being trapped, albeit less than Sophist, in the escort business.

At the very least, I definitely see this version of Nick as somebody who's more carefree and lax about his clients, and has definitely pissed a few of them off enough (he's DEFINITELY laughed at someones dick size to the point that they left i don't even care you're never taking that hc away from me- /hj /silly) to receive "punishments" but honestly? Fuck does he care? He's been in the industry less than Sophist has, so he doesn't really know how bad it can really get, but Sophist takes care of his junior regardless. If anything, maybe he can get him out of this life, unlike himself, and while Nick does have some moments of insecurities, he's currently not popular enough to know just how debilitating it can be. In return, he helps Sophist get out a little more and enjoy his life when not with clients, as he's grown so dependant on them (explained in a drabble i have coming up). His client was probably also the one who recommended Brent to Sophist, courtesy of him.

With either version of Nick, I can imagine him pulling up to meet Sophist a few months after he's left the business, genuinely happy to see him all healed and comfortable, wearing casual clothing and a genuine smile.

"So.. It's Eevee now, right?" He asked with a smirk on his face, but there was pure and evident happiness for his friend in his eyes, and that was enough to make Sophist laugh.

"Yeah, it is." He chuckled, a genuine smile spreading across his face. It was nice to see a familiar face after the whole fiasco. He hoped Nick hadn't suffered Leo's wrath after he had left (as a client or a worker). While eyeing him up and down and making sure he was ok, Eevee heard the soft patter of footsteps against the ground behind him. He hadn't even managed to look over his shoulder when-

"Eeevee! It's so good to see you again! Oh, and you brought a friend? Hi!! Nice to meet you! My name is Carnig, but you can call me Vernias!" The man excitedly stuck out his hand, his personality as bright as his pink hair. There was a sparkle in his eyes and a sweet smile on his face that always made him pleasant to everyone else. Meanwhile?

"... Oh!- Uh- Nice to meet you too Vernias, uh.. yeah.."

Sophist had to hold back his giggle at the faint flush that had appeared on his friend's cheeks, clearly more than surprised by Vern's bright personality, not to say that it was a bad thing. He instead settled for giving Nick a comical wink, his smile morphing into a smirk as Nick gave him a dirty side eye, for just a second, before snapping back into his normal self (or as normal as he could find himself) and began to chat up Vern. In no time, he'd put his charismatic personality to use, making Vern let out a bubbly laugh that turned the tips of his ears warm at the sound.

Also/In fact, with either version of the au, I think Nick's struggle would parallel either Brent's or Sophist's respectively struggle in his relationship with Vern/plot conflict. I could imagine for Office-Nick, that he was also born with a rather well off/rich family who has been in good kahoots with Brent's family (actually yes, i now decree that in this version, they're family friends but not in a childhood friends kind of way bc Brent was prevented him from even playing with the son of a well off family as a child bc damn his parents-). They run their own business but have let Nick work with Brent's family's company due to it's success, their animosity as family friends, and their desire for him to get more experience in the working world. However, they meet up with him one day and tell him to quit his job, as seeing his success, they've decided he's finally ready to take over their own company. This would also result in his parents engaging him with somebody, aka Nicole (YOOO STARRY FINALLY REFS NICOLE /hj) who's family also well off/has a high status, for the sake of public image (and MORE company optimization babyyy-/srs /lh), leaving him distraught about his blooming relationship with Vern because he can't just leave. His parents have treated him well his whole life, nothing like Brent's parents (whose toxicity he finally understood to the fullest extent after the whole fiasco), and they haven't given him a reason to actively break everything off to go chase this- this cafe worker. It's painful to admit, but he doesn't have the heart nor the right to just do so just like Brent has. It drives him into this state of turmoil, maddening and insane.

I'm also so fucking tired that I can't conceptually think of Escort-Nick's struggle in detail rn (also bc of what i said and it being repetitive of sophist's struggle-) uhm yeah thats all i can give you lmao im so genuinely burnt out rn- /srs /gen

this got so fucking long bro even for my standards istg- ╥﹏╥

[crees-a]

About what you said about an Eclipse screenshot, I found these deep within my photos.

Eclipse, the wet and soggy, sad cat.

Yaaay thank you✨

Man I love that he is so dark the only thing you can see is two white dots

(Also very late answer once again, sorry XD)

[lizzychanstuffss]

Omg maybe Astarion somehow being able to see a reality where he ascended and the dark urge ruled with him

his reaction could be good or bad 🧐 maybe both

BARK BARK BARK you are my first dark urge request so I am excited to write this! Also since I enjoy the idea of some angst with this I am going to say this takes place post-game with a good durge and spawn Astarion :3

Astarion x Redeemed!durge!Tav GN

Spoilers for the entire game. Also, forgive me if the details aren't perfect, I am fairly aware of what happens but for my own sanity I haven't actually seen these endings XD

Requests are still open!

You couldn't sleep, no particular reason this time either, just no matter what you did, tiredness would not take you. Honestly, you considered just taking a walk and seeing if it would tire you out although you didn't want to leave Astarion alone without telling him where you were going. It was something you realized he preferred once you started living together after everything that's happened. It was cute.

So instead of taking a walk you just stared out the window from your shared bedroom of the house you had made your own. The sun was starting to rise already which means that your 'night' was just starting. Converting to a nocturnal schedule was something Astarion actually refused to let you do at first, but considering that if you didn't you would basically never spend any time together he eventually relented. Oddly enough it wasn't a hard switch either you actually preferred to be awake at night then the day. You figured this might have been an old habit from your past life.

Astarion had decided to turn in early for the night, the both of you had a rowdy night of mischief-making and partying and well people congratulating you for saving the entire city basically. It was frankly exhausting and you couldn't blame the vampire for needing an early night. He had been in a trance for a while at this point but when you turned to check on him you noticed his brow was furrowed.

It was such a small thing that almost anyone would miss it but not you, you had a keen eye for the microexpressions his face made when he was having complicated emotions. You didn't always understand what they meant or what was going on in his head but you knew something was off with the man. So you crawled back into bed and debated for a moment about waking him up but decided unless he seemed to be in a panic it was best not to wake him. So instead you just put a gentle hand on his arm and then one in his hair stroking it gently.

After a bit of that he seemed to relax again. Before you noticed his eyes half open gazing at you.

"Oh did I wake you?" you asked him.

"No...well yes but don't apologize....I'm glad you did" turning to face you better he gently took the hand that had been on his shoulder and placed it on his face. The gesture surprised you a little. It's not something you had thought he would do.

"Is something wrong, love?" words sincere, he doesn't speak, at least not until he gathers his thoughts a bit.

"I had a dream, no it was more like a vision." he starts "It was about us...but it wasn't 'us' if that makes sense?" he asked, staring at you with one of his classic wet and pathetic cat looks he was prone to making in moments of vulnerability.

"I think I understand like you saw a version of us from another reality?" He nodded in response to your attempt at describing what he saw. "And what was different about this version of us?"

"Well, I'm not sure what entirely to make of it...it was almost like we were the worst versions of ourselves....we seemed happy but also miserable..." His voice trailed off a bit but he continued speaking before you could say anything in response "You had claimed the Crown for Bhaal, but I was ruling by your side...and I think I went through with the ritual" he seemed confused and shocked by own words but also terrified.

"O-oh" was the only thing you could say in response. Suddenly his want for comfort made utter sense and you couldn't help but comply running your thumb across his cheek. He melted into the touch relaxing a bit more.

The two of you stayed like that more a while. The information was quite a shock to both of your systems, but the both of you were thinking about it just unsure of what to say about such a thing. Then you finally spoke up.

"What did you think of this version of us?"

He sat with your question for a bit.

"I'm...I'm not sure....I know I didn't like it, it felt wrong" He sighs, "What do you think about this version of us?" flipping your own question back on yourself, you take a moment to think about how to answer before speaking.

"Considering that Bhaal wanted me to take the crown for himself and rule the world I can assume he...owned me" as hard as it was to admit you fully knew what taking that crown for yourself meant as it would have never been something you choose on your own. "You said you had ascended in the vision as well?"

He nodded "It was awful, it was as though I was looking as someone possessing my body, there was no ‘me’ anymore just a husk of who I thought I was supposed to be..." tearing up a bit "I was exactly like Cazador" he choked out the words sounding disgusted with himself.

"Hey look at me, that's not you though, that's not either of us" you pressed your forehead to his.

"And it never will be, I won't let it be"

His arms wrapped around you pulling you into him, as he nuzzled his head into the crook of your neck finding comfort in it as you held him. A hand coming up to gently play with the curls in his hair as he lets himself calm down in your embrace, although you also felt his hand stroke up and down your back in a soothing motion you weren't sure if it was for you or for himself but it was a nice gesture either way.

The two of you stayed like that for a while.

Bam’s Catlike Tendencies HC’s!!

Bam Margera X Gn!Reader

Warnings: Suggestive content, piss

An: To be honest, this is more cannon than head cannon considering how much Bam generally acts like a cat on a regular basis XD Still, I find it incredibly endearing, so I just had to write this! I’ve seen a lot of posts recently about Bam’s cat boy coded tendencies, which really inspired this fic! Also, thanks to @camariesintrusivethoughts for helping me out on this fic!!

Short of leaving dead mice on your doorstep, Bam exhibits pretty much every cat behavior in the book

Given how much time you spend together due to the fact that you’re dating, you know this better than anyone

For example, pretty much all of his buddies know that he can meow pretty well, a skill he mostly used to playfully flirt with chicks at the bar before he met you,

But something people might not know is that this mf purrs when you play with his hair.

He is so at peace when he’s got his cheek laying against your chest, looking so unbelievably content as you rake your fingers through his dark curls

Can you really blame him for letting that relaxed, low rumble of a noise slip out?

You just giggled at your boyfriend’s adorable reaction while he tried to cover his ass,

“I didn’t- I mean…! Just- just shut up.”

This was only exacerbated when you started to notice how he’d curl up and get all comfy next to you under the guise of ‘spooning’ whenever you shared a bed

I mean, you’d believe that explanation with how Bam loved to nuzzle his face into the crook of your neck as he snuggled up close,

Much like how a cat might get close to its owner to stay warm at night.

On a significantly less cute note, when you were out at the bar, he had a passion for finding out the wildest places he could get away with pissing

Because of course.

You couldn’t count how many times you had save Bam’s ass from the fury of a man twice his size who was mad because your boyfriend emptied his bladder on his leg

With one arm around his torso, you had to walk him backwards away from the guy, “I’m really, really sorry sir- Bam, stop laughing! He’s just-“

It took everything in you to resist making a joke about him not being litter trained yet.

Speaking of your boyfriend getting drunk, Bam has a weird habit of sitting on people’s laps when he gets hammered

Usually yours, sometimes Ryan’s or Novak’s- chalk it up to poor impulse control.

That doesn’t mean he got to escape any teasing about it from his bros the morning after,

“What’re you, Y/N’s pet?”

We all know that Bam doesn’t care about being clean and, like a cat, doesn’t enjoy getting wet too much,

As evidenced by how you have to coax him into the shower (not that you mind being naked with him)

But all in all, you find these quirks of his quite endearing ;)

Barbaros Barrabam headcanons because I need them:

1. He doesn't hate humans-

→He doesn't actually hate humans despite it being his job of hunting them, he does find them interesting, how their minds work and what they do, he finds it entertaining enough

But he tries to not over do it because he is still gonna kill, capture and sell them

It's a bit like being an actual hunter yk, he's just killing them for his job, not out of spite

I think if he was in a really really good mood he might even exchange some words with the door man

2. On the Autism spectrum

→ self explanatory he's on the high functioning side tho

3. He has a fascination with humans

→ adding on to number 1, I think he has a odd hyper fixation on them xD he likes their concept as a species, he probably was reading their anatomy up to kill em but ended up getting derailed into culture ect and that's why he's so good at hiding, because he knows how to act the part

Probably has some misconceptions on em tho

4. He's stitch coded, from lilo and stitch

5. He's fuzzy got a think layer of fuzz to him, that only shows when he's puffed up angry like a cat or just had a bath and dried up

7. He has a tiny turtle tail that works like a dog tail, he probably tries to raise it out of instinct but realises his turtle tail ain't scaring anybody, he's probably untucked his shirt a couple of times to hide his tiny tail when he's excited, probably wags like a dog when he's happy

8. He has horns on his elbows and claws, and his horns everywhere get a tiny bit more bigger and jagged when he's pissed

9. Head over heels in love with lilitu, she likes him back <3

However anazareth doesn't get what lilitu sees in him, but he makes her happy and hasn't exactly done anything wrong so she can't do much except judge him. However they have bonded over sharing a love for tattoos and also he gives them a big discount on humans

10. Probably owns a human wet shop. Where you get fresh meat or humans whole and alive for whatever purpose you have in mind

(a wet shop is a shop where animals are kept alive, can be sold alive, or slaughtered after being bought to ensure freshness)

11. ABYSMAL CACTUS

12. Resting bitch face

→ He's not upset or angry he just has a resting bitch face by default

Thank you for tagging me in the WIP game! (and also fuck fuck fuck, why did you have to tag me, now I have to come face to face with the sorry state of my WIPs! >.<') While I consider the horrid situation of my own writing, please tell me about.... (shit, I want to ask about so many of these but I shall have to limit myself....) Lost Signal and Wet Places?

Hello hello!!

I tagged you cause it's fun to talk about wips! *looking at my own wips* yeah, sooo fun 😊😭

Embrace the state of your wips, let it flow over you (or you can just panic at it and keep on adding more, which is what i always do).

Lost Signal - it's an au where humanity has abandoned earth and settled on other, distant places because earth has become unliveable thanks to pollution + the sun becoming a red giant soonish (the science part is sketchy haha). And tony, who had once made a fortune through oil business in earth is reluctant to leave it cause it's the place where his husband died, but he and his son will be leaving soon in one of the last ships from earth. Kenta, who has been neglected throughout his life (tony blames him for the accident that killed off tony's husband aka kenta's other father), likes going to places like abandoned supermarkets cause they remind him of simpler times when his father was alive and earth was still nice to live in. and one day he stumbles across Kim and his gaggle of cats in a market and finds that maybe, earth is still liveable :)

it's a long story, but there's some tony killing and some kentakim happily ever after. If i manage to finish it, that is!

Wet places - another kentakim apocalypse au! I was doing through a phase in my writing XD

In this one, earth and human civilisation has become submerged in water after years of constant rain. Very green, much moist. The ppl who have managed to survive live all alone, in huts on high lands that are still above earth, with years of supply they have stockpiled. And kim is also living like that, hunting and foraging and surviving in his way, when he stumbles across an injured, unconscious man while out one day. And despite all his senses telling him no, he brings kenta back home and nurses him back to health!

It's supposed to be all cozy like sitting by the windowsill one rainy afternoon with a cup of tea and a cat on your lap ( ´ ω ` )

Wishing you luck with your own wip! maybe the real treasure is the wips we have along the way! XD
