#then sub to that to get invited to ANOTHER discord

Bruh, I really need a nice sweater mod for Yrys.

I appreciate the objectification of mens and giving them the three strands of fabric and calling it a sweater... But I need a comfy sweater ; a ;

[madlori]

there are a lot of headcanons about tommy becoming resentful of the time buck spends with eddie, but give me the reverse. give me eddie resentful of the time buck spends with tommy.

eddie's alone and sad with chris gone. both buck and tommy, together and individually, try to do things with him and be there for him but sometimes they actually do want to be alone together, and eddie just...can't seem to stop getting in the way. he invites himself along to stuff. he asks if he can come hang out when they're having a night at home together. he takes up their free evenings with obsessively making plans so he can avoid being alone in his house and they're just starting to get worn down.

eventually buck has to sit him down and say, eddie, my man, my dude, you're family to me, i care about you so much, so does tommy, but for the love of all that's holy please understand that sometimes i need to be alone with my boyfriend.

and eddie is embarrassed that he's been so clingy but also low-key hates that they have this relationship with each other that doesn't include him. he's happy that buck's found the love he always yearned for and deserved, but he can't stop feeling hurt and left out and there's just no way to make it better.

so what does he do? does he stay resentful and let it fester until it becomes anger and it ruins his friendship with buck?

maybe at one point he would have done that. but this time...this time he recognizes the path he's on and decides to take action to not let that happen. buck is too important to him. he has to find a way to occupy himself without relying soley on buck.

so he joins a boxing gym that nobody else goes to and starts working out there. he makes a friend who's also dealing with loneliness.

he starts volunteering on off-shift mornings at a botanical garden and finds that digging in the dirt and getting sweaty and dirty is very therapeutic. after a few weeks, some of the other volunteers invite him to come to brunch after their shift.

he discovers the LAFD Discord and that it has a whole bunch of sub-groups where first responders from all over the city get together for activities. he joins the golf group. he joins the cooking group. he goes on an axe-throwing outing.

he makes other friends.

there are no other friends like Buck. there will never be another friend like Buck. but there are people he can spend time with now, and give Buck a break so he can spend time with Tommy and also just have time to himself.

buck still brings dinner over once a week. he takes eddie on hikes. he and tommy fly him to san diego for the day and they go to the beach. but eddie also goes golfing with the LAFD Discord club. He goes to Station 133, which has the nicest kitchen in the LAFD, for the cooking club and learns some new recipes.

He has brunch with Chim and Maddie. He and Hen take Mara and Denny to mini-golf. He helps Bobby do DIY work on their new home to bring the kitchen up to his standards.

He learns to live without Chris. He learns to have support that doesn't entirely revolve around Buck. He watches Buck and Tommy get more and more serious, but now he's not resentful or scared - he's only happy, to see his best friend so happy. When they move in together, the three of them spend the first night Buck lives with Tommy eating pizza, drinking beer and watching baseball on TV.

And the first time Buck and Tommy ask him to come on a hike with them, and he has to decline because he has other plans, he's relieved, because they still want him around. They still want to be his friend. He hasn't worn them down.

He will always need Buck, he will alway love him. But he knew it wasn't fair to make Buck his entire support system...so he built a bigger one, and it's big enough to support them all.

When Chris facetimes him, he notices that his dad is looking less despondent. he has things to talk about, like the botanical garden and Bobby and Athena's new house and the firepit he's helping Buck build in Tommy's backyard. He's more open and honest. He doesn't sound so desperate. So Chris says he wants to come home, and when he does, Eddie's just happy he's back. Not desperate, not resentful or angry. And he has these new friends.

One of those new friends is another volunteer at the botanical gardens. she's a trauma nurse and does gardening to help her cope. eddie suggests she might like to try boxing as exercise, and she loves it. she is invited to a firefam BBQ at Buck and Tommy's house, and chris can't help but notice that she looks at his dad like he's really something -- and he's looking back the same way.

and if Chris had been worried that his time away would have hurt his dad, or made him sadder -- which he definitely didn't worry about, totally didn't, never at all -- he's not worried about that anymore.

An extreme warning for everyone in the Creepypasta community, especially the Creeps Comic sub-community

This is a post 6 years too late, but I've finally gained the courage to speak up. Trigger Warning for: Pedophillia, child grooming, suicide and beastiality There are two manipulative pedophiles in the creepypasta community that go by the name Kori [Konpeito-Starfox on tumblr, korgifemboi on discord] and Michael [kitsuneaniki on discord] who have: Dated a minor, have been sexual in the presence of minors, exposed minors to hardcore pornography and have drawn pornography FOR minors. When I was 15 back in 2018, I was invited to a creepypasta discord after I was found because of my Old LJ ask blog. I remember Kori and Michael [Trixi at the time] were 21 and 24-25 and were 'tame' at first, but they slowly became more and more sexual as months went by. A few raunchy jokes turned into full on porn posting. They talked about sexual situations with Creeps characters with two 16 year olds and a 17 year old. I felt uncomfortable with it, but I couldn't get why. This next part may be worded poorly, as it's extremely emotionally hard on me to bring up the memories, but I'll try my best and will be the most coherent I can make it. As a dumbass 15 year old, I didn't get the difference between being gay and being sexual due to the homophobic town and family I've grown up around I had never been told otherwise, so I thought it was fine, that lgbt people in their 20's being highly sexual around and directly to lgbt teenagers was fine! Everyone was happy! And me bringing up the uncomfortableness was just me brining everyone down! But then Kori and Michael made porn for a 16 year old's oc having sex with their sonas. And something in me finally shouted "Something is wrong." I didn't know how to word it, but I approached my family [good!] and said "My friends are being a little too gay, what should I say?" [bad!!!] and so I was told "tell them to stop that." And so, in I said "can you stop being gay?" in an attempt to say "hey stop being sexual" [I know, I know, point and laugh at 15 year old me for being confused] and obviously got kicked out for that. There was shit said by them that made me want to commit suicide [thought I must stress they never directly told me to kms] And then got death and rape threats that MIGHT have been from them on my old LJ ask blog after that, but that's a side note. In the same year, the 16 year old who was given porn of their oc, [who I will refer to as Victim 1 and censored in black] started dating Kori and Michael. Note: Victim's 1's birthday is in October and this screenshot is from September

It is of note that Kori and Michael are extremely manipulative and hav convinced Victim 1, that it's better to lie to me and tried to say they were 17 when they started dating, despite me knowing their age and not correcting another [I will refer to as Victim 2 and censored in red] mentioned it in a conversation. There are two other victims who I will also censor the names of.

Below is a continuation of this conversation to show that Kori and Michael have convinced Victim 1 that them showing porn to minors is okay.

I also showed Victim 1 that what Kori and Michael did is VERY ILLEGAL, let alone immoral, but was brushed off. Granted, I should have showed him more but I was rushing to the hospital because of my heart issues and was not thinking straight due to the stress.

Michael has also been proven to quite literally speak for Victim 1 as well. [The sibling comment was because they thought Victim 2's [trans] sister was Victim 2 referring to me]

This is the end of the post, and I hope this is enough to show how much of a threat Kori and Michael are to minors, but I physically cannot show the mountain pile of trauma without putting myself in a medical emergency. There is far more receipts of Kori and Michael's emotional manipulation, but again, if this post went on for too much longer I could end up in the hospital because of them and I don't want it to be a fourth time. If you or someone you know are friends with Kori and Michael, please distance yourself from these pedophiles and show your friend this post. If I could, I would personally report them to the police, however they are in America and I am in Australia with no knowledge of how to report across-seas. If you can, please report them to the proper authorities, although I do not know if they can get into legal trouble for what they did to us years ago, it will stop any on-going child grooming. Please note, I will not be mentioning this or replying to anyone specifically IN MY INBOX until AFTER I recover from making this post. Do not send me anon messages if you're going to tell me something private, instead, message me. If you have a public issue with this post, say it with your chest and off anon. Before this hell is through, I have three more screenshots to share. One of Victim 2 being shown drawn Beastiality while they were still a minor [I have been informed Victim 2 was still 16], one of Kori [with a pfp of LJ having sex with Will in a server full of minors] mocking me while I was still 16 and against them being sexual [and mocking me for my LJ design and having a non-sexual lizard hyperfix], and a miscellaneous message of Michael admitting he likes dog genitalia and mocking me for not liking porn but being fine with gore. WHILE I WAS STILL A MINOR. I will put them under the cut as two of them are censored but still visual images of nsfw. IF YOU ARE A MINOR, DO NOT CONTINUE THE POST AND PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE.

The King’s Chambers Recs - November 2022

Hello, We are back again with another monthly rec list of some of our favourite fanworks recommended by some of our members! All of the recs are top/dom!Arthur with bottom/sub!Merlin unless stated otherwise. Fic

Touchy-Feely  (requires AO3 account) | dante_s_hell | Explicit | 3,549w Summary: Merlin gets a little too touchy-feely when drunk. Written for a merlin_writers prompt. Prompt can be found at the end of the story. Haunted Ride | Sage_Owl | Explicit | 1,499w Summary: Merlin can see ghosts.

He and Arthur get stuck inside an elevator.

Both of these things are true, but only one of them is relevant. 

Imprint | Fr333bird | Explicit | 2,126w Summary: Arthur is in the military and is home on leave. They only have one precious night together.

Merlin wanted to feel Arthur inside him again. He wanted to be able to feel him tomorrow, the day after… for as long as he could once Arthur was gone. He needed Arthur’s imprint on his skin, the ache of Arthur’s cock in his arse.

Hope of the Immortal | ArtemisPendragon | Teen and Up | 20,028w Summary: After centuries of waiting for Arthur’s return, and the ancient king showing no sign of resurrecting anytime soon, Merlin decides to turn himself into a stone statue and wait out the remaining years in a semi-conscious state. He places a charm upon himself, making it so that he will change back once Arthur returns and finds him. A plaque on the statue’s plinth reads as much: “Whoever holds dominion over this soul of stone / Need only touch it to turn it to flesh and bone.” It becomes something of a must-try in the city, and despite thousands of people interacting with the statue every year, no one succeeds in turning him back into a human. That is, until one day…  (First kiss, no sex)

The Dance Floor Tilts Around Us | orphan_account | Explicit | 922w Summary: At the annual Samhain masquerade, Merlin and the dragon prince gravitate towards each other as if linked by invisible strings…

Office romance? | lizlybear | Explicit | 2600w Summary: Merlin wears lingerie to work and Arthur loves it.

Evermore; Still Never Enough | LillaW | Explicit | 3,058w Summary: He’ll live countless lives and find Arthur in every one of them and lose him all over again. But this will always, always be what he lives for…

Leashed | riventhorn | Explicit | 3,058w Summary: Written for the kinkme_merlin prompt: In the fashion described regarding the treatment of Damane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damane) in The Wheel of Time, rather than killing all sorcerers, Uther has select few "leashed" and enslaved to the service of his armies. Merlin is leashed and Arthur is his master.

Art

[Fanart] Collared Merlin | whimsycatcher | Mature | Digital Art Summary: Yes, it’s that recurrent AU where Merlin is enslaved by Uther and used as a prized weapon against his own kind… Arthur decides, fuck that, and then by the end of it all they both decide, let’s fuck. This plot, I like it! I also just really wanted to reference a shot of him from The Laughing King because FRECKLES! ;)  (Mature fanart)

My kingdom for your graces | sfintii | Gen | Digital Art Summary: My kingdom for your graces. (Gen fanart) If you enjoyed these recs and want to see more, or talk about top Arthur/bottom Merlin, we would love to welcome you in our discord server. If you’re interested and of age 18 or older, please message us and we will send you an invitation. Also, feel free to send us a message to let us know your fave top Arthur/bottom Merlin fanworks! 💕

Rakdos Decaying Vermin drafted by me, Oct 23, 2023 (2-1)

Mike's Pauper Cube (list). 3 packs of 15, 8 drafters.

This was my first time drafting a cube in paper that wasn't one of mine!

Mike was incredibly generous to invite me, GL, CC, and DR into his home to draft a full pod of his brand new Pauper Cube (he also has a Vintage Cube). This was a good old situation of meeting someone on a Discord (because I was looking for a store we could play in one time) and meeting them in person sight unseen and hoping for the best, and it went great!

Like I expected, value seems to be the way to go in this list. I drafted an aggressive black red deck with a ton of cheap interaction that curved into some token creation and death triggers sub-themes.

My match loss was to the 3-0 Boros Blink deck, that just had so many big game cards that were generating tokens and drawing, with extra ETBs of Ephemerate and friends, there was no way to keep up. The matchup honestly felt unwinnable.

Running against the trend towards value, my favourite cards in this deck were Hissing Iguanar (red Blood Artist at home), Witty Roastmaster, and Voracious Vermin. All three played nicely with my ways to make tokens when you don't care if they live or die. What can I say? I'm a sucker for explicit synergies.

It was fun seeing that the enters tapped mana base really didn't feel punishing, and with 6 mountains, 6 swamps, 4 duals, and a Terramorphic Expanse (literally realizing right now that I think I was running 41 cards?), my mana was never awkward

The deck would've popped off with another, better sacrifice outlet. Looking at the list, that would've been either Phyrexian Ghoul or Bogardan Dragonheart, but there are other, less premium options as well—I just didn't prioritize them properly.

It was a blast to play (cube rules), and played really really well for a first draft—nothing stood out as unbalanced or broken (okay, I mean, Monarch and Initiative, but I think you know what you're getting into when you include those).

[HUGE CAVEAT ALERT: I am not sure of Mike's design goals, so this is just me providing feedback as a player, acknowledging that I have pretty specific tastes that are not universal, and that the following may not align with his goals... but I also think cube designers mostly love feedback about their cubes, right?] I think it would be interesting to see this list move more in the direction of "small game" cards (Andy Mangold has brainwashed me). That is, there are a LOT of cards that draw more cards or create tokens, and boards get pretty big, pretty fast. 2-for-1's are a huge part of Pauper, but if more of those 2-for-1's made the board (and/or hands) smaller instead of bigger, I think games would be a little more dynamic instead of the strong tendency towards big boards. I don't think there are specific cards that were culprits, it's just the overall density that creates that momentum.

Thank you so, so much to Mike for his hospitality, and to the rest of the drafters we met tonight for being so welcoming and chill. Hope to play with you again soon! Thanks for the games!

✜ private show ✜ felix x fem!reader 2.2k words kinks and warnings: sub!felix, dom!reader, camboy!felix, video call sex, dirty talk, mutual masturbation, vaginal fingering, praise kink, some actual fluff in here wow, both reader and felix are harboring some feelings.

part two of live feed.

It’s been two months since you received the invitation from SubbySunshine. 

The melodic tone of an incoming call on Discord plays through your headset, quickly pulling your attention away from Buzzfeed’s latest and greatest listicle. The subject matter was practically already forgotten as you jumped onto the call. 

“Hey there, Sunshine,” you greet, sitting up a little straighter against your pillows as both of your bodies come into view on the screen. 

He lets out a breath, then laughs. It’s deeper than the one he presents on his cam shows, and it sends butterflies to your stomach before you can even think twice about it.

“Hey. I told you that you don’t have to call me that anymore,” he says, reaching up to scratch his throat. “We know each other’s names now.”

His name’s Felix, you’d learned. It suits him.

Names were one thing, but faces? You hadn’t seen one another. You’ve spent hours upon hours talking to him by this point - exchanging Discord usernames to message one another, to voice chat, and then to, finally, video call one another. But for all the talking you’ve done, neither of you have shown your faces. 

But finally, today’s the day, you’d both decided that morning. After two months, you both agreed a mutual trust had been built. You had actually waited for him to suggest it; after all, he stood to lose the most if you chose to leak his name and his face to his other loyal viewers. It was practically a stalker situation in the making. 

“How was your day?” he asks. 

You’re both positioned with your faces still out of view of your webcams. Old habits die hard, you guess, even if they’re only a couple of months old. Not that you’re complaining, really - you love his body. He’s small, but toned, and even the sight of him relaxing in bed in a baggy t-shirt and grey sweats has your mind racing over what you know is underneath. 

Despite the distraction, you manage to answer him. Your day was whatever, you tell him, but at least it’s over, and the weekend has arrived. Felix listens attentively, asking questions as you tell him about something that happened at work. And, of course, you happily do the same as he tells you about his own day, sharing a story about going to the mall with his best friend, some guy named Chan who you’ve learned he’s extremely close with.

So maybe you were in over your head a little with the guy you just thought would be someone fun to swap nudes, maybe have some naughty video calls with. No big deal, you told yourself, it’s just a harmless crush - one you’re pretty sure he reciprocates.

“So,” he says, his voice trailing off as he draws the word out. 

Though he can’t see your face, you immediately look up at the monitor through your lashes. “So?” you repeat.

Felix laughs. “Do you wanna do it?” he asks. 

Your eyes widen. “Damn, Felix, you usually kind of work your way into it before we start getting off. So blunt tonight,” you say, genuinely thinking that’s what he’s asking. Not that you really mind.

He lets out a defensive noise, whining your name. “I meant showing our faces!” he says, the pout obvious in his voice. You can tell he’s a little embarrassed. “You know I don’t - I don’t ask like that, initiate like that.” 

You can’t help but snicker at your own confusion and his slight mortification. It did seem out of character for him to simply ask to “do it.” While you’ve found that some things he does during his streams are for show, his desire to please certainly wasn’t one of them, and that’s usually where he starts when the two of you have fun.

He’s a good boy, and he loves when you tell him so.

“Guess my mind is in the gutter today,” you joke, shaking your head. “Sorry, Felix. But, yeah, I want to. Do you? Still want to, I mean.” 

He’s silent for a few moments before he clears his throat. “Yeah, I do,” he says. “I really do.”

“Let’s do it, then. On the count of three,” you say. “One… two… three.”

Felix is a breathtaking man. He’s got soft features: high cheekbones, perfectly shaped lips, a cute nose. But his jawline is sharp, forming a nice contrast. Freckles line his cheeks and the area next to his brown eyes. With shaggy blonde hair, he paints a picture of being the innocent boy-next-door; you vaguely recall him mentioning in his shows that everyone who knew him thought he was just that. 

“Holy shit,” he marvels, eyes sparkling. “You’re stunning. Look at you.” 

You’re used to being the one who praises, not the one receiving the praise. Managing to shove that down for just a few seconds, you thank him before turning it back onto him. “Have you looked in a mirror, though?” you tease. “You’re so handsome, Felix. Such a pretty boy.”

He averts his eyes for a few seconds before looking back at the camera. “I’m glad you think so,” he says.

“Why’s that?” you pry. 

Felix looks to the side again, but one corner of his lips has ticked upwards ever so slightly. “Do you remember that first night when, um, I requested a private chat with you?” he asks. 

Not the specifics, you admit, but you remember enough. He couldn’t blame you, though; you had been caught so off guard by his request that your brain had nearly turned to mush. 

His arms cross in his lap as he shyly laughs. “When I asked, um, for everyone to tell me what they’d do to me if I was with them, you said you wanted to -,” he pauses, lowering his voice slightly before continuing. “You said you wanted to sit on my face while you played with my cock.”

You heard him perfectly fine, but you’re not going to let him get away with being bashful. “Sorry, Baby. I didn’t hear you,” you coo. “Could you run that by me again?”

Felix knows you heard him, but he grits his teeth and speaks up again, louder this time. “You said you’d sit on my face while you played with my cock,” he repeats.

That sounds like something you’d say, you figure. Still something you wanted to do with him, too. “I suppose I did,” you say, shrugging your shoulders lightly. “And I bet you’d like every second of it, too, wouldn’t you, Lixie?” 

He doesn’t answer the question directly, but his response tells you all that you need to know. “If you were with me, I could show you,” he says. His tone is enough to have you ready and willing to buy a train ticket to wherever in the country he might be; you still didn’t know.

You’re close to asking when you notice how he’s palming himself through his sweats. Before you can call him out on it, he keeps talking. 

“You drive me crazy, you know that?” he says, groaning. “Can’t get you off my mind. You’re all I can think about lately, all the fucking time, but especially when my hand’s wrapped around my dick.” 

His words go straight to your core. You’ll over-analyze them later, you tell yourself. “Yeah? Why don’t you go ahead and show me what you do when you think of me, Angel? Tell me what goes through that pretty little head of yours. I’ll give you a little reward if you do,” you say, batting your eyelashes at him.

Felix doesn’t need to be told twice. His sweats and underwear are down in a flash, revealing his toned thighs and half-hard erection. After spitting in his hand, he wastes no time fulfilling your request. “Ever since we met, been wishing this was you,” he says, stroking himself and getting harder by the second. “During my shows, at night when I’m in bed thinking about you, your body. How good I’d be making you feel if you were with me.” 

A giver through and through. 

“Oh?” you ask, playing coy. “What do you wish it was, Baby? You want me choking on your cock, edging you until you can’t take it anymore? Or maybe you want to be buried deep in my cunt while I clench around you?” 

He moans as he teases the head of his cock. “I’ll take whatever you wanna give me,” he says, looking up at the camera to lock eyes with you. “But if you were - shit - generous enough to let me choose, I wanna be inside you so badly, see how good your pussy feels.” 

“Such a good boy,” you say, removing your headphones before unplugging them from your laptop completely and tossing them to the side. His moans sound even better coming through your speakers. You pull your blouse over your head, revealing a lack of bra underneath. 

He only moans louder. “You’re so beautiful, fuck. Just wanna suck your tits while you use me to get yourself off, Baby,” he says, stroking faster.

You don’t bother to take your skirt off, more thankful than ever for the ease of access to your throbbing heat. Spreading your legs in full view of the camera, you hike the hem up so that Felix can see everything you want to show him. You want him to see how soaked your panties are from watching the show he’s giving you, from thinking about his cock filling you up. As your left hand plays with your nipples, rolling them between your forefinger and thumb, your right hand traces circles on your clit through the thin fabric covering it. 

“I’d use you just like you want me to, Lixie,” you say, dropping your other hand and only stopping to pull your underwear down your legs. When they’re gone, you slip a finger inside yourself. It’s just enough to tease yourself, not nearly enough to satisfy you, and you quickly add another. “Wish these fingers were yours, wish this was your dick getting me off. I know you’d make me feel so fucking good, fill me up until I’m leaking.”

Your dirty talk seems to do him in. His head is thrown back, his grip gets a bit tighter, and the only thing he’s able to moan is your name. You think you hear him start to say more, but it’s interrupted by shots of white as he cums, his heavy breathing filling the room after.

But he doesn’t take a breather for long.

“Look how hard you made me cum,” he says, watching you intently as you finger yourself. “Can’t wait until I get to return the favor. Wanna worship every fucking inch of your body, make you cum on my fingers, my tongue, my cock. Wanna make you feel as good as you make me, wanna be a good boy for you and only for you. No one else.”

He knows what you like to hear, and with the curl of your fingers and a moan of his name, you reach your high, your muscles tensing as you feel yourself contract around the digits inside of you. 

“Fuck, Felix,” you say, laughing as you attempt to breathe normally. “Oh my god.”

He laughs with you, reaching up and running his fingers through his hair. “You good to clean up then meet back here?” he asks.

It’s become a bit of a ritual. In your own strange form of aftercare, the two of you go clean up after finishing, then get back together to decompress. As you stand in front of your bathroom mirror after wiping off and changing clothes, you pull out your phone, deciding getting a pizza delivered would be the perfect end to the day. 

When you climb back on your bed, Felix is already back in front of his camera. The sparkle in his eyes is still there as he looks at you. “Everything okay? Took longer than usual,” he says absent-mindedly, but you don’t miss it.

“Didn’t know you were keeping track of time,” you joke, ignoring the heat you feel rushing to your cheeks.

Felix doesn’t respond. He only smiles and changes the subject. “You should grab some food after that. You said you missed lunch because of work, right?” he asks. “Maybe we can, I dunno, watch a movie on Netflix or something.”

“Beat you to it!” you say, holding up your phone. “I ordered delivery from my favorite spot, but a movie sounds good, sure.”

“Might do delivery, too. What’s your favorite spot, then?” he asks, now scrolling through his own phone. “I’m thinking of ordering pizza from this place called Gino’s.”

Your eyes widen momentarily. “Gino’s? In Yongsan?” you ask.

Felix looks up from his phone, nodding slowly. “Yeah. My apartment’s not far from there,” he says. “Is - is yours?”

He lives nearby. You’re not surprised he lives in Seoul, all things considered, but knowing he lives in the same district has your heart ready to beat out of your chest. 

“No. I mean, yeah, it’s just around the - I don’t live far from there. At all,” you manage to say, finally.

It’s silent for a few minutes as you both take in what this means. A whole new realm of possibilities has opened up right before the two of you, and as the realization seeps in, the urge to see him, to touch him, to feel him only grows. 

But Felix speaks up before you can, breaking the tension.

“I have to see you.”

Final part coming soon.

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN

It's almost the THIRD ANNIVERSARY of Promare's release, and the staff are pulling out all the stops yet another year in a row!

On May 24, starting at 6:30 PM JST (that's 5:30 AM EST, sorry USians), the staff will kickoff completely free streaming events on youtube, including interviews + a showing of the movie itself.

6:30-7 PM - opening talk

7-8:52 PM - Main movie viewing

8:52-10:30 - post-show talk with the main movie staff

All of the above will be streaming on X-FLAG's anime channel here.

The movie is unlikely to be streamed with subs, as there's no indication it will, so I'm gonna be hosting a watch party myself on the streaming server for those interested in watching along so you can liveblog to your heart's content.

We'll be watching the SUPER-CUT, which is a recut version of the movie (using subs by September Subs) that includes the Galo and Lio shorts in their appropriate places chronologically, streamlined to be more easily understood.

This means that we'll start our stream at 6:40:26 PM Japan Time (5:40:26 AM EST) (yes down to the second lol) to ensure we sync up with the main stream once it starts going. By 7:04:12, we should all be on the same page!

Drop a message if you plan to join but don't have an invite to the discord server and GET HYPED!!

Sorry if this has been asked before, but are there any panels/comics that reflect/point to Matt's taste in music? I feel like there's maybe one or two, but I don't remember what they'd be... And if you find any, or don't, do you also have any personal headcanons regarding the matter? What do you think he likes listening to? If you're up to answering any of this, that is. I know it's maybe an odd question. Thank you so much if you're able to, and even if you aren't! I love your blog and have an awesome day :D

    Hi! It's not an odd question at all, and it's something I really enjoy thinking about and haven't discussed in a while. Matt's taste in music is an aspect of his character that I'd love to see explored more, since it is compelling from both a character/personality angle and a sensory one (much like his food preferences, another woefully under-explored topic). However, it has been touched upon. Notably, we have evidence from multiple runs that Matt is a jazz fan.

[ID: Panels showing Matt Murdock and Glori O’Breen walking arm-in-arm through Chinatown during the day. Matt is in a blue suit and tie, Glori is in a long green coat.]

Glori: "I won't mention a word of it when I take you to a certain pub where they're playin' the real Irish music Wednesday night."

Matt: "If that's an invitation...thanks, but sorry. Not tonight. But tomorrow night I'll take you to a jazz club in the Village. Dave Samuels is performing--"

Glori: "Ah, Matthew, an' aren't we star-crossed! For 'tis I who're busy then!"

Matt: "Okay. I won't feel rejected if you won't."

    He and Maya Lopez also go to a jazz club during their day-long first date in Daredevil vol. 2 #11. I love that this is such a consistent detail (having examples from three different volumes is pretty unusual for such a minor piece of trivia), and it makes a lot of sense. The complexities of jazz would likely appeal to him on an intellectual level and, of course, a sensory one.

    There is a question I've always had about Matt's food preferences: Would he like foods with complex flavors, because he would be able to appreciate the nuances, or would he find them overwhelming and prefer bland foods? And I feel like this same question can be applied to his taste in music: For someone who can perceive beyond the range of normal human hearing, would the sub-sonics and harmonics of complex chords turn them into discordant mush for Matt? Or would they just sound extra cool to him, making simpler, more straightforward music styles boring? I don't have an answer, obviously, but it's a thought exercise that I enjoy because it's always fun to try to get into Matt's head. With this many creative teams implying the latter, I'm happy to accept it, and I love the idea of Matt being a jazz fan. Jazz is bold and spontaneous, just like him.

    Another of my favorite music preference details is this funny moment from the DD/Black Widow era, in which Matt tells some members of San Francisco high society that he's a fan of The Who (I think that he, like Natasha, is having fun at the expense of their snootiness here, but I'm sure he does genuinely like The Who. He also seems to like the Police):

[ID: Panels showing Matt Murdock and Natasha Romanov in a room full of fancily-dressed people. Matt is in a black suit and tie, Natasha is dressed all in blue with big yellow ruffles down the front of her shirt. She is talking with a group of women and Matt is talking with a group of men.]

Men: "...So we left the yacht for the opera! Great stuff, opera! Do you like it, Matt-boy? Yes, what is your favorite?"

Matt: "My fav--? Oh! Uh, 'Tommy,' I guess...by The Who. It's...a rock opera. Very, eh, avant-garde."

Man: "Humph. Hippie music, if you ask me!"

Woman: "So you live alone-- with two men?"

Natasha: "On separate floors, deary. Does that scandalize you-- or just make you jealous?"

As far as dislikes go, Matt doesn't seem to like disco...though Foggy does.

[ID: A panel showing Matt and Foggy standing together. Behind them is a darkened area and the silhouettes of a crowd of dancing people. Foggy is in a brown collared shirt and green pants. Matt is minus his dark glasses, and is wearing a very stylish bright yellow jacket.] 

Matt (caption): "We step inside and it's like walking into an explosion of sound! The music! So much bass-- throwing my senses out of whack-- And worst of all-- it's disco night."

Foggy (singing): "...I'm here to do... whatever I can... be it early mornin'..."

Matt: "Foggy."

Foggy: "Sorry."

Daredevil vol. 1 #374 by Joe Kelly, Jonathan Barron, Ariel Olivetti, Pier Britto, and Ed Lazarelli

    This may be a topic for a whole other post, but I also wanted to say a little about Matt making his own music, because we have examples of that as well.

[ID: A panel with a background of yellowed, stained sheet music. Over top of this is a smaller panel of a hand on piano keys, and swirling past this is a musical staff filled with cartoon images from Matt’s past: boxing gloves, his father, young Matt being bullied, and barrels of toxic waste.]

Matt (caption): "The truth is I hardly read a note of sheet music. I always play by ear. For me, music is the closest thing to seeing. I don't mean knowing where you're going, I mean seeing, the way you'd look at a painting. Every chord has color-- the way memory has a scent. C major smells like an old pair of boxing gloves. D major and D minor are left and right jabs. They are the color of my father's face when he would get mad. E major is coppery-- the aftertaste of a bloody lip."

Daredevil vol. 2 #9 by David Mack, Joe Quesada, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Richard Isanove

    There are a lot of great music details in this story arc, and this scene is one of my favorites because it explores the idea that the experience of listening to/playing music is intensely personal for Matt. You don't need super-hearing to associate specific chords with different emotions-- everyone does that-- but I love how this scene builds on that by drawing connections to Matt's other sense memories and the emotions attached to them. It suggests a visceral, intense experience of music that extends beyond just normal enjoyment. Matt is transported into his past when he plays the piano. (If you take this scene literally, it also could suggest that Matt has some degree of synesthesia, which is also fascinating).

[ID: Panels showing Matt and Foggy in a subway station. Foggy is wearing an olive-green business suit, Matt is wearing a red shirt and blue pants. He hands his white cane to Foggy while holding out some money to an old man who was playing the violin. Several bystanders are looking on.]

Matt: "Sounds like one hell of an instrument. Is it for rent?"

Violinist: "For that kinda money, I'll lend you my feet."

Foggy: "Can you play?"

[ID: Matt puts the violin under his chin and rests the bow on the strings.]

Matt: "Dunno. Let's find out."

Daredevil vol. 3 #1 by Mark Waid, Marcos Martín, Muntsa Vicente, and Joe Caramagna

    This scene is wild and I love it. It's quite long, so I didn't want to stick the whole thing in here, but if anyone hasn't read the issue (What are you doing?! Read it! Now! Go! I'll wait), Matt teaches himself to play the violin within a matter of minutes. The mini-story that this excerpt is from features Matt showing off his hypersenses as he and Foggy travel around Manhattan. Its practical purpose is to introduce new readers to Matt's power-set; in-universe, Matt is doing this to prolong the trip and distract himself, because the destination is the cemetery where his father is buried. I don't think Matt makes a regular habit of playing every instrument he sees-- he's clearly stalling for time here. But he does seem to enjoy it! In any case, I wanted to point this out because it tells us some pretty major things about Matt's abilities. To be clear: this is superhuman. No one learns to play an instrument with any amount of skill this quickly. If they were learning the violin and had extensive viola experience, maybe. (I don't think Matt has viola experience. At least, not 616 Matt.) I'm also going to say that this requires a bit of suspension of disbelief, just like Matt swinging around Spider-Man-style without super-strength does.

    With that said, here's what we know: stringed instruments require some coordination. One hand is doing one thing, the other is doing another. Matt is extremely coordinated-- not a problem. The tuning on stringed instruments is delicate. Your fingers need to land in exactly the right spot on the strings, with the right kind of pressure. There's also bow pressure and placement to take into account: putting just enough force and motion on the bow to get the right tone, and shifting the angle just enough to switch cleanly between strings (this is extra tricky on a violin, where the strings are very close together). This is a neat instance in which Matt would be applying both his enhanced hearing and sensitive touch to the situation. Armed with his super-sensitive fingers and proprioception, he is apparently able to figure out the pressure and bow placement issues. Tuning, though? This is solid evidence of Matt having excellent relative pitch. (Personally, I like to think he has perfect pitch as well, though I don't have direct evidence for it.) If anyone is unfamiliar with the distinction, perfect pitch is being able to sing a specific note (say, A#) without any reference point. Relative pitch is hearing A# and then being able to find other notes based on an understanding of the intervals between them. Matt's super-fast violin mastery suggests that he could play a note and then figure out where his other fingers needed to go in order to play the other notes he wanted. If you're playing an instrument you're not used to, especially a stringed instrument, in which the tuning is so tricky, it takes a while to get the hang of this at all, never mind making it sound good. But Matt, hypersensory badass that he is, just casually does it on a subway platform while waiting for the train.

[ID: The same scene. Matt finishes playing with a flourish, with the notes shown swirling around his head, as a train pulls into the station. The bystanders clap. Foggy looks stunned.]

    ...In any case, my point is that according to this scene, Matt's powers have rendered him superhumanly musical, and I love it. Join a jazz band, Matt.

Streamer!Scaramouche [2]

thanks for all the support in the first part! i wrote a second part where scaramouche plays genshin + the reader comes in (i tried to make it as gender neutral as possible, so let me know if there’s something off!). you’re a close friend of scaramouche and also a voice actor!

i had been planning this since i wrote the first part, but because i was busy and uninspired i couldn’t finish it. but here it is and it’s actually pretty long (over 5k words...)! i hope you guys will like this!! obviously he’s a little nicer than he is in game but,,, for the sake of the plot + it being a modern au, it had to be done sjnfdskjf

He was selected to play the beta for genshin because of his popularity and tbh he really wanted to play it

The game hadn’t really caught his eye all that much when he first heard about it but he saw how everyone online went crazy over it (plus other streamers who also were selected to play it in early access kept talking about it) and he became more curious to know what it would be like and if it’d live to everyone’s expectations

However he couldn’t really play it until it was officially released because he had a very busy schedule, and when he saw other streams of people playing it he was,,, lowkey jealous because it did look fun

When it was finally released and the game finished downloading and installing, he went live right away

And since so many people were looking forward to seeing him play plus the game was getting so popular so fast, that stream of when he first played hit his biggest milestone of live viewers ever

ANYWAYS skip forward to further into the game

when it comes to the gacha,,,

we’ve established that this boy is loaded. he won’t hesitate to throw some big amounts of money at the game to get every single character and weapon he wants and get their constellations to the max

i feel like he’d make little bets (and it works as a way to thank the chat for the support) like “if i get (insert newest character) in the first 50 pulls, i will gift 50 subs”

he’d be SOOOOOOO LUCKY it’d make everyone who doesn’t play think that it must be very easy to get the 5 stars or that the drop rate must be very high,,,

so in the end he’d have to gift the subs and it’d be funny to see the chat go absolutely crazy because everyone is commenting at the same time trying to see if they got lucky too and got the sub

but the chat goes so fast that they can’t even see their own comment after they send it sNDJGDJSK 

he’d end up turning subs mode on for a while because it goes crazy

and that’s when he’d see people going “I GOT THE SUB-” all excited and he can’t help but chuckle and congratulate them for being one of the lucky ones

probably another game he can use to play with some subs once in a while! they could play co-op and when he’s a very high level he’d go to the worlds of some of his subs with lower level to help them with whatever they need

SO, LITTLE SKIP HERE

this is where i want the reader to slide into the picture

you’d be a voice actor, and also you have been a friend of his for a very long time

he met you even before he started streaming and you were always so supportive of him, as he was of every and each of your dreams

in fact, he would have invited you over more than once to stream with him

people don’t say anything bc they’re afraid of scaramouche banning them (it’s happened before) + they understand it can be disrespectful... but…

some people lowkey ship you two a little bit,,,,,, you didn’t hear it from me. scaramouche don’t ban me----

so one day he’s making another livestream playing genshin (sponsored by mihoyo to promote the newest update and event) and they’re going to release a new character 

AND he has told everyone that you are the voice actor of the new character, who will be introduced in the event and is also getting their own banner

so everyone is very curious of what they’ll be like, if scaramouche will try to get them (obviously he will, he has every single character…. the amount of money he has put into the game…. just thinking of it gives me the heebie-jeebies) 

could he even,,, main them,,,,

spoiler: he won’t because he’ll stay honest till the end (and no hard feelings) but there are other characters that he has built up to the max just like them and still work better with the way he plays but he’ll still find a chance to use them often

he didn’t know anything of what the character you voiced would be like because you wanted to keep it a surprise and he knew his audience would enjoy seeing his first reactions

I think the character you voice in the game would have the role that Scaramouche has in the actual game, and their design would be fairly similar (maybe similar color palette) to the design fans made for him as a genshin character (the one i mentioned that he uses for popup notifs of subscriptions and all!)

needless to say he’d absolutely love their personality and the charisma you showed in their lines

of course when he finally gets them he shows everything about them including all their voice lines and he compliments y/n’s voice acting… that was the first time people suspected that....

mayhaps… scaramouche….

has feelings for you....

it’s in the soft gaze in his eyes,,, the gentle smile on his lips,,, his soft voice when saying “I think this one is my favorite line of theirs”

and just how BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL his laugh sounds when someone comments he should invite you and ask you to do that voiceline live for him and everyone else

he’d jokingly reach for his phone and be like “should i call them? i could” 

(but he wouldn’t because he doesn’t want to disturb you, you may be busy, considering you still hadn’t replied to the messages he sent to you before he started the stream a few hours ago)

if anyone dares be mean to you saying you got the chance to voice act for genshin just bc of scaramouche

or implies that he did something to get you there he’ll get quite mad even tho he won’t speak up about it (he might if enough people say it) 

people can see something shift in his gaze,,,, and he bans them permanently right away

it’d be kinda funny when he does those “reading unban requests” streams and he goes past immediately rejecting people who said those kind of stuff, not even reading the apologies JSNKJFNDSJKGNSDK

some people say he’s too strict about it but literally his stream his rules. people who don’t like him should just not watch him

and people who like him should NOT speak badly about you or doubt your talent and effort, which is what brought you that opportunity in the first place

one day he’d be streaming playing the game, he had been using your character and gathering materials to get their last ascension

and at one point he’d grab his phone and look at the screen for a second before putting it back down and saying he had planned something else for tonight besides playing genshin for a while

then, the doorbell would ring (before he could even close the game-) and it’d be heard from his setup room so people in the chat heard it and they’re all like???

it’s definitely not takeout because scaramouche never orders takeout when he’s on his own, he usually cooks for himself and just orders it when he’s with friends and they all feel like eating something different

actually, offtopic, but i have a feeling he’d be very responsible when it comes to food and like he’d cook himself proper meals all perfectly balanced and all- he could afford having someone cook for him but his house = his privacy and personal space so he’d rather do it himself

it’s like, past 10pm, so no way it would be a package or mail at that time

and then he says “we have a visitor tonight”

and then the chat goes crazy saying “CHILDE” “HARBINGERS” but mostly “Y/N!??!?/PLEASE LET IT BE Y/N”

AND IT WAS YOU!!!!

and omg you brought takeout--------

it had been a while since they had seen you in scaramouche’s stream and you didn’t have your own channel (even though there were many people who encouraged you to open one)

SO everyone was very excited

i feel like scaramouche wouldn’t be the biggest fan of eating on camera so you guys would put the food away so that you can eat it later on your own without an audience

and you two would just spend a while talking to the chat, watching videos

AND reviewing fanart and fanmade content together!! it’d be so cute especially fanarts of the two of you together, little animatics or comics of funny clips or memes from his streams of you two,,,

someone made a little felt plushie of the genshin character you voiced and the way you COOED because it was SO cute

only those who were truly paying attention were able to notice the soft smile on scaramouche’s lips and the way he looked at you as you gushed over how cute the little plushie is and how talented the person who made it is!!

also you’d tell him you saw signora make a stream where she talked to some of her fans on discord individually to give them advice on their life/problems (nothing too serious) and it was very funny and you wanted to do that with him someday

and he’s like “that… could be a huge mess. people could say some crazy stuff” and you’re like “NO but i talked to her about it and she said she got her mods to talk to them first and approve them before they moved them up to the channel where she was to talk to her”

and he’s like “still…….. what if people lie and then when they get to talk to us they say something-”

and you’re like “BOY!!!! DO YOU NOT TRUST YOUR FANS *GASP*” and everyone in the chat is also going “GASP” “HE DOESN’T TRUST US…” “IS THIS YOUR IDOL…..?” “SAY SORRY” (all good fun, obviously he’d love to talk to everyone if he could make sure there won’t be anything disrespectful said)

SO!!!!! you two say you’ll plan to do something like that soon and everyone is very excited, they can already tell it’ll be both super cute and hilarious

before he ends the stream, you two watch some videos together

some are about some upcoming videogames and he talks about them and what he knows and explaining things to you... he is.. so knowledgeable…

the way you look at him as he goes into a little rant about it… cinematic parallels with the way he looked at you before

ONCE AGAIN, people aren’t blind. they notice. but they keep it to themselves bc scary scara (the way i had to resist overusing this one joke with his name-)

so the stream ends and you two walk out of the setup room to go to his living room and eat the takeout you brought while watching something on tv

he apologises because the food is cold now, but you brush it off saying it’s ok, you had missed being on his streams and you two can just heat up the food again

he doesn’t look at you in the eyes as he mutters that you know you can join his streams whenever, and instead just says it as he makes his way to the kitchen to heat the food

you join him in the kitchen soon after and tell him you also bought something for dessert and put it in the fridge already before

and honestly he didn’t know how much he wanted to eat that dessert until it was in his fridge, so he can’t stop himself from sighing and saying “god, i love you”

there’s silence for a second, right as the microwave beeps as it finished heating the food

it feels eternal to him, but you immediately started laughing and said jokingly “of course you do! you’re welcome!” 

he’s happy you took it as a joke because that’s not how he planned to confess (he didn’t plan to confess anytime soon in the first place) but at the same time ?? he’s lowkey offended inside because? you took it as a joke?? is it so unrealistic that you wouldn’t even think that he meant it romantically?

it’s at that moment that he realises that if he didn’t want to confess before, now he does.

he wouldn’t want anyone to know about how he let that slip because he’s sure no one in you two’s friend group even knows he likes you

but you,,, actually,,,,, were actually caught off guard too because scaramouche wasn’t precisely one for words of affection and he showed his care for everyone with his actions

in fact, you had never heard him say those words before but well- it was kinda nice- if only he meant it as you feel it- but he couldn’t, right? who’d confess their feelings so casually while looking at a dessert in the fridge with desire-------

that night, it gets pretty late and to be honest he’s a little too tired to drive you home as he usually would, so he asks if you’d like to sleep over

it wouldn’t be your first time doing so, not even the first time you stayed unplanned, and he had a couple guest rooms that you could use so you accepted

also, staying for longer meant you could keep watching some more of that series with him without worrying about it getting late

or,,,

“actually” you said in a low voice, almost a whisper, since it was getting late and you two had been in complete silence while watching the series “i lowkey still wanted to stream some more”

he scoffs but then lets out a short chuckle, replying in the same volume

“it’s past 2am, who’s going to watch me stream now?”

“i would” have mercy for his poor heart- “but i’d be the streamer too this time so it doesn’t count” 

“what even would we do”

“can we play that co-op game you played with childe? it was so much fun” 

had you not brought it up, he wouldn’t have offered that ever because? if he had recently played it with childe he didn’t want to stream it again and make it feel repetitive for his audience 

(jokes on him because when genshin came out they put up with it being the only thing he streamed for over a week. they’d rewatch any game if it’s you two playing it)

but to be honest, he didn’t really want to stream anymore that day and just wanted to be with you, just you and no one else

he got up from the couch and walked towards the hallway, making you look up to him in confusion for a second, but then started getting excited knowing this meant he was going to let you play it with him

“i don’t really feel like streaming anymore today, but we can still play it. let’s go”

the next day, you two wake up around the same time and make breakfast together

scaramouche i feel is not very talkative in the mornings 

in fact, i feel like he’s just not the most talkative in general. he’s more the type to listen, but it’s different during his streams because he’s doing what he loves and talking about what he loves

and when it comes to you and he talks more it’s because he’s talking to who he loves----

before you’re going to leave and you’re standing at the door about to say goodbye to him, he suddenly speaks up before you can

“do you want to go somewhere tomorrow?”

you raise your eyebrows in curiosity from the sudden request, but then smile at him and nod

“yeah sure! what do you have in min-”

“it’s a date” he said, interrupting you, which was weird enough of him (since he would never interrupt you), but his words were even weirder-

“h-huh?” you felt the heat rising to your cheeks, and scaramouche just repeated his words

on the outside, he looked so casual and just, confident- bUT INSIDE he was actually panicking a little bit 

but just a little bit.

After a moment, you smiled at him again, this time somewhat more shily but also excited for your date!

“I look forward to it”

Just with that, you two knew you had made the first step

You weren’t just friends anymore

You two had hung out on your own many times before, in fact and as it was mentioned before, you two had even slept over at his house or yours many times before

but it had all always been purely platonic, and you guys had never even questioned that aspect of it even after realising you had romantic feelings for each other

he’d spend the rest of the day thinking of what you could do the next day, as if he hadn’t been brainstorming for ideas all night either

i feel like he hasn’t gone in many (if not any--) dates before

solely because he has never been interested in romance plus he had never liked someone or at least, not as much as he liked you

and even when he found out he felt something for you, he just always told himself he was okay with how things were, because he’d never experienced anything beyond friendship and didn’t feel the need to try and maybe ruin the friendship

SO he didn’t have many ideas of what a good date could be

he definitely didn’t want a cliché corny date, but he really didn’t have any idea of what was good enough for a date

(and if for future dates you want something he’d consider a “”cliché corny date”” he’d do it for you and actually enjoy it)

the last thing he wanted was to have to ask you what you could do for your date

1- because he didn’t want to show you any side of him that didn’t look like he always has everything under control and he’s always composed (as if you wouldn’t want to see every side of him, even his most vulnerable sides- you’d have to work on that with him when you two become official)

2- he… kind of wanted to surprise you…..

but it really got to the point where he really didn’t know what you’d like the most (or what he’d like the most too) and what he wanted most over anything else is to not disappoint you in you two’s first date

SO he finally texted you asking if there was anything special you wanted to do (and therefore indirectly admitting he……….. just really wanted to ask you out. so much he did it without thinking of what he’d do if you said yes--)

you didn’t seem to mind, and in fact you were happy he asked for your opinion 

overall, scaramouche was very independent so he wasn’t one to ask others for advice, opinions or anything, much less for help regarding anything

“how long has it been since we last went to the arcade? we could go there! i heard from childe that they added new games!”

and he’s like !?!?!?? THAT…. is…….. the perfect idea

“that actually sounds perfect” he admitted, and the message brought a big smile to your face 

“just don’t get mad at me when you lose at all of them” he sent right after, teasing you, and you couldn’t help but let out a laugh out loud

“the last time i won in your favorite game” you reminded him, and even after he read your message, he took a little bit to reply

(he needed a second to put the pieces of his pride together SJNFKJDS)

“don’t get used to it, it won’t happen again”

“we will see about that” the more you two joked like this, the more excited you got thinking about tomorrow

scaramouche was sure now that it’d be a great first date that you’d both remember forever

the next day, it was almost the time for the date and scaramouche was going to pick you up at your house

i feel like scaramouche would be very fashionable and even in his style he doesn’t try to hide that he’s loaded…

not that he cares about buying cheap clothes, literally he’d say if he likes it and it’s good (aka it’s not cheap because it’s made of something that won’t make it last longer than 3 weeks) he’ll get it

but it just so happens that many times… the clothes he likes most are from famous brands…

AND THIS DAY!!!!!! he’s putting together one of his favorite outfits because it’s a special day

it almost hurts me just how nonchalant he’d look on the outside, making it a little hard to know exactly just how much this date meant to him (because as i said he’s not one to be very vocal about his feelings or even his thoughts)

BUT i trust that you… since you know him well…. can see past all that and you know that this is not just anything casual to him. this is special.

STILL!!!! he’d try his best to not let the blush rise to his cheeks and show, as well as to not let his voice shake when he complimented that you looked very good

ANYWAYS i think i think Scaramouche wouldn’t be one for big pda

the most he’d do where anyone can see is hold your hand or put his arm around your waist

WHICH IS WHY he’d try to be all smooth (and he would manage) reaching for your hand and lacing his fingers with yours

he wouldn’t make eye contact because then he’s sure it’ll show on his face that he’s getting somewhat flustered, but he’d still ask if you’re okay with it, to which you said yes

the area where the arcade was is always somewhat crowded so when you two were getting there, scaramouche would tighten the grip on your hand a little bit to make sure you wouldn’t let go and you’d be pulled apart by people trying to walk past however they can

you know that if you two got serious about your relationship, he would want to be the first person to share the news with his fans

BUT since he was so popular now, you two lived in a pretty big city and now were at a popular area (+ scaramouche wouldn’t be the type to try and hide his identity because he’s never had people make a fuss when they recognise him)

you were a little worried someone would see you two and maybe take a picture and post it online and it’d go viral before he can admit it himself

because of that, you end up throwing back to him the question he had asked when he held your hand 

“are you sure this is okay?”

your question confused him because he didn’t know what you mean, so he finally looked you in the eyes and waited for you to explain further

“it’s just- what if somebody sees us and recognises you?”

he looked away from you and back at where he was going, taking a few seconds to answer before he just shrugged

“i don’t care”

you softly let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding as you waited for him to say something, and almost missed the way he whispered

“as long as it doesn’t affect you”

for someone who seemed and actually tried to seem to self-sufficient, who appreciated his friends but was also okay on his own because he was absolutely comfortable with himself, he was actually…

more selfless than people would ever know, especially when it came to you

you two would have SO much fun in the arcade, trying every single game many times

this time though, scaramouche won in his favorite game so he lived up to his words

you two won so many tickets you literally didn’t even know what to do with them once you got the couple prizes you were interested in

you bumped into a couple fans of his, so you talked for a while

once again, you were met with suggestions of opening your own streaming channel, and even scaramouche said “i’ve told them that many times too, but they always say they think their streams won’t be fun enough”

and the fans are like “NO!! literally everyone thinks you’re super nice and fun!! of course you don’t have to if you don’t want to, but we’d love it!!”

one of the fans (exaggerating a little as a joke) said “i’ll be your number 1 fan i swear” and the three of you laughed, except scaramouche who just scoffed and smirked 

“i am ALREADY their number one fan. but good try” <- scaramouche in his head. say it outloud u coward.

but at the same time it was a joke scaramouche chill pretty much everyone knows you’re their number one fan……. even though you think you’re so smooth………. they just don’t say anything 

they were very nice and fun to talk to and you knew scaramouche and you didn’t really want anything else from the prizes, so you offered you two’s tickets to them

“we don’t really need these anymore so maybe you’ll have more use for them!!”

they got SO excited, the way their eyes lit up :( scaramouche is convinced you’re an angel but he’s also very happy to see how joyful his fans got because those were more than enough for the prize they really wanted-

so after that cute little interaction and having used up your energy for competition, you two leave and think of buying some ice cream or a milkshake or something to end the date nicely and to enjoy while you walk back home

the arcade was not exactly very close to where you two lived (it was far from your house, but even farther from his-) so he asked if you were okay with walking back or if you two should get an uber or something, to which you said you were okay

walking back with him meant!! a little more time you could spend with him

and he was happy you said that because he was feeling the same way and still didn’t want the day to end

we’ll see more about the kind of things he likes and dislikes if he’s released as a playing character BUT FOR NOW i really get this vibe that he’d LOVE boba tea

i even think he’d?? enjoy tea in general??? classy boy…

SO you two would end up going to get some boba 

it was very touching how, when reading the flavors they had that day, he suddenly and casually went “oh, they have your favorite” and you looked at the one he was pointing at and !!! indeed it was your favorite!!!!!!!

he remembers this kind of details very well

you take the chance to talk some more as you’re walking home

scaramouche asks about your job with voice acting and you tell him that you actually have been recording some new lines for your genshin character lately because in the next update there’ll be an event involving them

he’s looking forward to it but he teases you a little asking if it’s okay for you to spoil him with such information

but it’s okay because it’s not like he’d tell anyone, especially knowing it could get you in trouble

when he drops you off at your house, he has a hard time saying goodbye

literally you’re standing at your door and he’s in front of you, a couple steps away, looking away from you

you don’t say goodbye either, mainly because you know scaramouche is working the courage to say something, and you can also sort of guess what he wants to say

you think of saying it first, but then think that it would make scaramouche proud to be honest about his feelings and confess first

“i’ve liked you for a long time”

you can’t help the smile that makes its way onto your face, unconsciously reaching a hand up to slightly cover it

“i feel the same way” you replied to him in a soft voice

he took a deep breath and exhaled it softly, finally lifting up his gaze and making eye contact with you

it was already dark outside, so you couldn’t appreciate the faint rosy blush on his cheeks well

“can i kiss you?”

your eyes widened for a second, not expecting him to ask and if anything, thinking he’d just step forward and do it

so you were a little embarrassed and caught off-guard to reply properly, so you just nodded and put your hand down as he took the last couple steps and his face was right in front of yours

he’d cup your cheek in one of his hands, feeling the warmth of your skin

you closed your eyes, and he looked at you for a second longer before he finally leaned in and closed the short distance that separated your lips

at that moment you both knew that you had been missing on so much more when you two just settled and were content with your friendship

but!! that was about to change now, so it was all worth it

after that, scaramouche would make clear that this would be the first day of your relationship!! and even if he didn’t say it with words, you could just feel his happiness!!

so!! after that, because of work you two got a little busy the next couple months so dates weren’t very frequent 

or at least, they weren’t dates like the one you first had

but still whenever you two were free he’d go over to your house, or you’d come over to his to play, stream together, or literally just spend time together doing anything

he wouldn’t let people know you two had started dating straight away (if anything, only his other streamer friends -aka you two’s friends in common- knew)

but the day he said it, he wanted you to be there

SO one day you two were streaming and you were currently reacting to one fanart of you two together

so he looked at you and you made eye contact and it was like you two spoke with your eyes like

“do we tell them now”

“let’s tell them.”

so scaramouche would clear his throat and without closing the fanart, he’d say he has something he wanted to announce

everyone was excited thinking it’d be some new project, maybe involving you

maybe some merch??? and the fanarts had reminded him of it???????

BUT THEN he straightforwardly said

“y/n and i are dating”

and everyone goes aBSOLUTELY CRAZY

amidst the chaos, you two catch a comment saying “will you unban the people who shipped you two” and you laugh

and you look at each other like “did you read that one?” “yeah”

and scaramouche is like “yeah, i guess i will have to unban some people”

and when some get unbanned they’re like “fREEDOM!!!!”

and jokingly they’re all like “APOLOGISE!!!!!!!! SAY SORRY!!!” so he just laughs and you join them being like “!!! apologise!!! you banned them for it and!! look at you now!!”

so he ends up trying to hold in another laugh as he mutters a halfassed ‘sorry’ and everyone starts commenting claps and hearts and celebrating that he apologised. now justice has been made.

the rest of that stream suddenly feels livelier and brighter!! you two are laughing a lot and so is everyone in the chat!! 

and also the new genshin event would’ve already just been released that same day so you can talk about some of your experiences with recording or what you thought of it

and scaramouche would let you play it yourself!! (he still hadn’t played it) and it was also the first time you played genshin live!! you’d show people the characters you have and everything and tell them some anecdotes

people would be SHOCKED because you!? don’t have the character you voiced!? D:

and you’re like “yeah… i pulled for them and used up all my primogems and… didn’t get them”

and your banner is back because of the event, so scaramouche won’t let this slide!!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL GET YOUR CHARACTER.

your luck is terrible compared to his so at one point you’ll literally feel bad for how much he’s spending for you to get it

but he doesn’t mind at all and everyone is having fun so!!

and once you finally get them you’re sO HAPPY and everyone in the chat is celebrating

and you think it’s over but scaramouche is like ???? what are you doing?? open the wish page again. you’re going to get them c6.

and you’re like oh my gOD PLEASE NO DON’T SPEND MORE MONEY ON ME FOR THIS

but he won’t listen and he’ll do it

so!!! he’ll always do his best to be the best boyfriend he can be for you!! so you better give him your heart!!!!

writeblr stuff I made up/participate in

kinda for my own personal reference, but for you, too.

stuff I made up!

any lines tag - post any lines from your wip that you like regardless of context just because you can, because you want to

into touch thursday - posting fluffy/affectionate/cuddly content OR being affectionate with other people in the community because we aren't just mutuals, we're friends

writeblr clubs - literally just any kind of club you can think of. the OC protection squad gang (protecting each others' ocs one HEY! at a time), searching circle (find the word obsessives club), alliteration agency (find the word alliteration club), theo club (you have a character named theo), no plot only cuddles (kinda self-explanatory), bird friends (you have a bird in your url) etc. I made up a bunch but you can make up a bunch too!

my heaps and heaps of ask games which you can find HERE

shared traits tag - wherein you talk about which traits/habits/values you share with each of your characters

wip intro format - originally conceptualized as a tag, now just available for you to use and I'm not kidding when I say that you can tag me when you use it (less for credit and more for you to have another person to look at it)

ten minute edits - which inevitably end up being longer than ten minutes because I get carried away but you send me your wip title and three colors and I make a "quick" edit for you. people have really loved what I've made so my very amateur skills must be pleasing, I guess. you can ask for one any time, not just when I'm like "I'm in the mood"

writing prompts! lists which you can find HERE - I don't know how to stop making them, so I guess I won't. stop.

oh, I have a discord server. I've been exceptionally quiet and will continue to be until I get off semi-hiatus, but I love having unhinged conversations about writing related or unrelated topics at all hours of the day/night. so dm me for an invite or if you just want to be friends on there.

writeblr stuff I participate in! theoretically

tag games of all sorts! writing related or get to know me or picrew or moodboard stuff

ask games of all sorts! I like Fluffy Fridays and Storyteller Saturdays the best of the themed days but I rarely do them because legit I forget or I'm busy with work. but if you send me an ask on any day I am contractually obligated to send one back to you.

(camp) nano, usually. even if I'm doing a cheater's version, I like to do it and post my spoils or casualties for the world to see and laugh at. this past april was great. I got Dreamy, Ren-rill-ren and Klove to read my depraved ramblings for a whole month.

the community at large. I like meeting new people and including them in tags or sending them asks or whatever.

a sub-genre of that is my habit of giving people nicknames. I sometimes just give them out, sometimes ask, based on our interactions thus far. if you want a nickname, interact with me and one shall not be far behind.

I suck at participating in events, even flash fiction friday, which I love. but if you invite me to something I will absolutely consider it.

I can't think of anything else right now. do you wanna be friends? I am open to that. I have boundaries like anybody else but I very open to friendship, so pop into my askbox at any time or tag me in something so we can get that going.

okay bye.

Helloooo! My name is Evie and I'm the person behind this blog. I am 27 years old and live in the USA, in the EST timezone. This blog is PRIVATE & MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE, meaning I will only write with you if we follow one another! This blog is for Walter De Ville of the invitation.

small note: I do not follow first! A few exceptions will be made but for the most part I want to write with those who want to write with me. Don't be alarmed if I pop into your ims after we become mutuals !

rules under the cut

001. Hiya, my name is Evie, I’m 27 and live in the EST timezone. I use she/her pronouns. If we’re mutuals feel free to add me on discord at numb little bug#0055. Independent, private, and mutually exclusive Multimuse. I am in no way affiliated with any actress/actor or any media represented on this page. I do own all the headcanons / divergences on this page however.

002.  I will tag triggers as trigger tw, if I post something that is triggering to you and it is not tagged, please message me nicely and ask for it to be tagged. Nsfw / graphic content can ( and most likely will ) be present on this blog. Violence, explicit language, blood and sexual themes. everything will be tagged accordingly.

003.  This blog is oc friendly, but please do not just assume my muse knows yours unless it would make sense for them to do so or it has been plotted beforehand.. All I ask is that you have a bio/bullet points up so I can get a feel for your muse and decide if we’d mesh together or not.

004.  The only issue I have is with sup/sub, as it hurts my eyes straining to read such small text. Aesthetic does not matter to me, if I can see us roleplaying I don’t mind if you don’t format at all. Length of replies don’t matter as long as you give me something to work with but please do not give me a one liner if I write one or two paragraphs. Please for the love of god cut your posts as well.

005.  I prefer my writing partners to be at least 18, but I prefer 21+! I will not follow blogs that are under 18. I am a slow replier, I try to work with a queue to keep things going while I can’t seem to find the time to write. Please do not rush me for replies.

006.  My ask is open to mutuals only. I prefer memes to starter calls, so more likely than not the easiest way to roleplay with me is send a meme and we can go from there. So if you're thinking of sending the meme, do it.when it comes to ship-related memes, and you’re worried I'll be upset if you send it because we’ve never interacted ( or never discussed a ship ), please send it! I don't see this as forced shipping. I see it as an opportunity to test a dynamic. the only way to know if there’s chemistry is to take it for a spin.

007. icon border is by jesssources and the psd is by mazzalou on deviantart.

008. I do not follow first! Few exceptions will be made but for the most part I want to write with those who follow me! So don’t be afraid to yell at me and tell me you wanna plot or write once we’re mutuals!

could u do fake dating headcanons where they slowly fall for u w atsumu, kenma & oikawa,, gn pronounces are fine :)

haikyuu boys slowly falling for you (fake dating edition) (gn!reader)

feat: atsumu, kenma, oikawa

warnings: fake dating, abuse of cliche tropes and commas and question marks, timeskip setting because im anything but creative, swearing

requests are open!

a/n: thank you for requesting this!! i hope you like it :D

atsumu

* you’ve been friends with him ever since high school and you watched his career grow

* youre both equally proud of each other n your friendship is built on mutual respect, trust and love

* you basically live in his apartment, with how much time you spend over there

* he would complain 24/7 about not having anyone to go to events with

* at one point you wanted to strangle him for never shutting up about it so you propose you go with him from time to time

* atsumu: “yeah, that was a setup”

* he KNOWS you’re drop dead gorgeous and everyone will be jealous of him that you’re with him (and you also look very good in formalwear, which he very much enjoys)

* and you get to have free food and drinks and also wear immaculate expensive clothes

* so,, you became his regular date for sponsorship events and stuff

* and you never really outright said you were just friends?? so you’re used to the media portraying you two as lovers but your close circle is aware that your relationship is platonic

* everything was going great until one of his sponsor company’s heir started hitting on you

* atsumu saw you flirting with the person and his mind went blank

* he,, he didn’t understand why he wanted to commit multiple crimes on the spot

* bokuto conveniently showed up next to atsumu at that moment

“hey, atsumu? why is your date flirting with them?” bokuto asked, suddenly appearing next to atsumu, which startled the latter out of his thoughts.

a better question would be why atsumu saw red at the thought of you getting friendly with anyone but him that night. he tried his best to keep his composure, but it was hard when you rested a hand on the heir’s shoulder, leaning your head back while laughing.

“atsumu, are you not going to answer me? your lover is-“

“my what?” atsumu asked, attention now completely off you.

“your lover? is that a term you don’t like? i could say partner... significant other... or anything you want, really,” bokuto answered, apologizing.

“you- you think me and (y/n) are together?”

“aren’t you? what, with the way you look at each other i was convinced you two were like... high school sweethearts or something, who hate pda,” bokuto explained, while atsumu’s eyes trailed back to you.

“you think... you think they’d wan’ me?”

“are you blind, buddy?”

you must have sensed their gazes, because as soon as those words left bokuto’s mouth, your eyes snapped towards atsumu and bokuto. the latter started waving with a cheerful smile while the former just stood, entranced by you and your presence. atsumu noticed traces of confusion appearing on your face, and watched as you excused yourself from the conversation you were previously interested in.

“‘tsumu, are you alright?” you questioned, approaching the pair. bokuto grinned and left, which made you even more confused.

“yeah, i’m fi- fine. hey, uh, (y/n), say... do you- why did you offer to come to these events as my date?” atsumu asked, eyes dead set on yours. you cracked a confused smile. you seemed to be capable of nothing but confusion at the moment.

“because you’re my best friend and i hated to see you so down because of your loneliness at these gatherings,” you replied, holding his gaze. “why didn’t you oppose it?”

his eyes studied you and when he saw nothing but sincerity, he let out a loud sigh. this was all very new and confusing to him. it’s like bokuto calling you atsumu’s lover set off a bomb inside his head that instead of causing a mess, made everything fall into place; why his gaze seemed to linger on you more often than before, why he was so eager to choose your outfits for these events, why he went to parties he didn’t even have to attend, why he got so jealous and angry when he saw you with the cute heir.

“holy shit,” he breathed and ran his hands through his hair, letting out a nervous chuckle and lowering his gaze to the ground. “holy shit.”

“you look like you’ve been enlightened, and i love that for you, but ‘tsumu, i’m still very confused.”

“i’m in love with you,” he said in disbelief, and quickly snapped his eyes back to your face when he realized he said it out loud. “i- i mean- i’m not in love with you, no way in hell, you’re- you’re my best friend, you- you smack my head whenever i say somethin’ inappropriate, you keep me from underminin’ myself, you always lift my spirits and for fuck’s sake, please, stop lookin’ at me like that because i will be getting hopeful and if you’re just joking, i will never hear the end of it and-“

you finally hd enough of his rambling and cut him off with a kiss. at first he froze, but seconds later he melted into your embrace, hands sneaking around your waist, pulling you closer.

when your lips separated, atsumu gasping for air after his word vomit and the long kiss you shared, you spoke up. “miya atsumu, you’re a real dumbass, you know that?”

his breath hitched and you kept quiet for a second to let him suffer a bit.

“but you’re my dumbass. i love you, you absolute piece of work.”

atsumu honest to god giggled and leaned in for another kiss, which you gave him without hesitation.

somewhere in the room, bokuto was collecting the money sakusa promised to give him if he got you two to kiss.

kenma

* kenma and you are both twitch streamers with similar content so you knew of each other but weren’t properly introduced

* until one of your mutual friends invited you both to stream among us with them

* you obv accepted

* so during the 3 hr stream, you and kenma were imposters together a lot and had the biggest, most twisted imp plays

* a friendly competition broke out at one point, too, trying to see who exposed the most impostors between the two of you

* your fans ate your dynamic up

* from then on, you two interacted more and started to appear in each others’ streams

* kenma even invited you to his minecraft smp

* you became besties basically

* SO

* all fun and games

* and then a huge sponsorship opportunity rolled in

* and the people at the company assumed you were dating

* uh oh

* you couldnt just tell them they have it wrong bc the whole thing depended on your relationship

* so

* big brain kenma suggest you two start to “date”

* you were against deceiving your followers but kenma assured you you could have a public breakup and tell everyone you were better off as friends

* so you reluctantly agreed

* it was only for two months anyways, what could go wrong?

* both of you, on week 3, in separate discord calls: uh oh, im in l*ve

* you both tried to cope (read: repress everything) but the realization on both of your parts threw your dynamic off a bit and fans have noticed

* so you had to do something abt it

* so kenma suggested you try your hand at a minecraft challenge together

* it was all fun and games until it wasnt

* you somehow ended up flirting back and forth ????

* chat was goin crazy, even in sub only mode

* both of you: ha ha im in danger

* when the stream ended, you stayed on call, because that was a routine you stuck to no matter what

“so... how are you doing?” you asked kenma, trying to clear the awkwardness from the air.

“good.”

maybe you should have taken kenma’s refusal to talk about anything into account when initiating conversation.

kenma, on the other end of the call was anxiously playing with his fingers, trying to figure out if his chat was right, and you were indeed flirting with him. and him with you. god.

“hey, y/n,” kenma said after a while, “were you flirting with me?”

his bluntness startled you and you had to mute yourself for a few seconds while you collected yourself.

“is there a correct answer?” you asked hesitantly.

“yes.”

“oh... uhm, maybe? it wasn’t intentional. or maybe it was, subconsciously, i don’t know,” you admitted quietly.

“good. it was intentional on my part, i think,” and okay, that was not the reply you expected to hear.

“really?”

“yeah, i- i like you i guess,” he said, sounding more confident by the minute. “do you like me too?”

“i- yeah. i do. i like you, kenma,” you replied, sighing a breath of relief. it felt good to admit it aloud to him.

“do you- would you maybe want to come over?” he asked sheepishly, which made absolutely no sense because he sounded so confident a second ago. “we could play mario kart?”

you let the beaming smile you were holding back take over your face. “i’ll be there in 10, kenma.”

“i’ll be waiting for you.”

oikawa

* on god mans hated your guts

* like,, okay, you were iwa’s close friend but you were so annoyingly honest all the time

* it drove him mad

* what also drove him mad is the fact that you loved to tease him

* no matter what the circumstance, whether he was in japan or in argentina, you always found a way to make him blush

* okay so maybe hate is a strong word, because he kind of thought you were pretty, but in a platonic way

* dumbass

* iwa always give both of you shit for not liking each other

* so you came up with a big brain idea

* you: ”oikawa! we should date!”

* oikawa: “what”

* after you explained the concept of fake dating to him and its benefits (which included a staged dramatic breakup, giving you both a reason to hate each other without iwa complaining)

* he was totally down

* iwa, when he first saw you holding hands: “i knew it”

* SO!! thus began weeks of pretending to be in love with each other for the sake of iwa

* which turned from pretending to not pretending real quick for your liking

* falling in love with oikawa was not a plan of yours

* (falling in love with you wasn’t his, either)

* with iwa’s constant nagging of “i knew it, you both were head over heels for each other from the moment you met”, the time for the breakup came quicker than expected (maybe you both had enough. so what.)

* you agreed to do it in front of iwa so he could see it happen

* you chose a mcdonalds parking lot, because then you could storm off and iwa would follow you to make sure you were ok and oikawa could go home and sleep

* maybe winging it was not the best idea

“babe,” you said with venom, “haven’t i told you a thousand times that i do not want to hear about your exes? seriously, it’s like the only thing you talk about,” you complained, as your fake-boyfriend took a sip from his drink.

“well, babe,” his tone matching yours, “i would shut up about them if took the hint sometimes. maybe i don’t like going to the movies as much as you seem to, it’s boring,” he rolled his eyes, subtly glancing at iwa, who looked very uncomfortable third wheeling your argument. good

“jerk. i don’t even want to go to the movies that much, asshole,” you spat, crushing your empty cup in your hand.

“oh, you want to go to the movies plenty. face it, (y/n), you’re boring. no wonder you didn’t have a boyfriend before me,” he replied and his words, even though you knew were fake, still hit hard and you couldn’t help the tears gathering in your eyes.

“okay, then, thanks for these wonderful past few weeks, so glad you decided to take pity on me.” you tried to keep acting, encouraging yourself with the fact that if oikwa meant what he said, you wouldn’t have to talk to him if iwaizumi finally saw you two break up.

you expected a lot of things, but genuineness in oikawa’s eyes was not one of them.

“(y/n), i’m sorry, i didn’t mean it like that,” oikawa pleaded, clearly forgetting about your mutual goal.

with a mumbled whatever, you started walking home, letting the sunset wash over your face. when you knew you were out of sight, you sat down on a bench and just started crying.

you don’t know how much time passed, but you heard a voice behind you speak up.

“hey (y/n).”

“what the fuck do you want, oikawa? to rub in the fact that my first boyfriend was just faking it so his best friend would get off his back? leave me alone, jerk,” you said, trying to wipe your tears away.

“i- i didn’t mean it like that, please, believe me,” he replied, taking a seat next to you. you scooted away from him. he sighed.

“why would i believe you? why do you want to make up, anyways? this fight was pretty real, no way iwaizumi didn’t believe it,” you sniffed.

“because maybe... maybe i was very happy about the fact that i could be your boyfriend, even if it was fake. maybe i’m in love with you,” he said softly, leaning towards you.

“please, stop playing games. it’s over,” you replied, trying very hard to ignore the raw emotion in his voice as he spoke.

“i really am, (y/n). i wasn’t at first, i admit it, but now i am. i love you, please, believe me,” he begged and you finally made eye contact with him. eyes were mirrors of the soul, after all.

you studied his face for a few minutes, looking for anything that could indicate he was trying to pull a shit prank on you, but you found nothing.

“asshole. maybe i’m in love with you too, what would you do if i said that?” you asked, wiping your nose with your sleeves.

“kiss you.”

“do it, then, i guess. but you’re still not completely forgiven.”

“what do i have to do to earn your forgiveness, (y/n)?” he asked and you sent him a mischievous smile.

“take the blame for this whole fiasco with iwaizumi.” he froze at your words and visibly gulped, but nodded nonetheless.

“okay, i will. can i kiss you now?”

you rolled your eyes. “yeah.”

and he did.

001. Hiya, my name is Evie, I’m 27 and live in the EST timezone. I use she/her pronouns. If we’re mutuals feel free to add me on discord at numb little bug#0055. Independent, private, and mutually exclusive Multimuse. I am in no way affiliated with any actress/actor or any media represented on this page. I do own all the headcanons / divergences on this page however.

002.  I will tag triggers as trigger tw, if I post something that is triggering to you and it is not tagged, please message me nicely and ask for it to be tagged. Nsfw / graphic content can ( and most likely will ) be present on this blog. Violence, explicit language, blood and sexual themes. everything will be tagged accordingly.

003.  This blog is oc friendly, but please do not just assume my muse knows yours unless it would make sense for them to do so or it has been plotted beforehand.. All I ask is that you have a bio/bullet points up so I can get a feel for your muse and decide if we’d mesh together or not.

004.  The only issue I have is with sup/sub, as it hurts my eyes straining to read such small text. Aesthetic does not matter to me, if I can see us roleplaying I don’t mind if you don’t format at all. Length of replies don’t matter as long as you give me something to work with but please do not give me a one liner if I write one or two paragraphs. Please for the love of god cut your posts as well.

005.  I prefer my writing partners to be at least 18, but I prefer 21+! I will not follow blogs that are under 18. I am a slow replier, I try to work with a queue to keep things going while I can’t seem to find the time to write. Please do not rush me for replies.

006.  My ask is open to mutuals only. I prefer memes to starter calls, so more likely than not the easiest way to roleplay with me is send a meme and we can go from there. So if you're thinking of sending the meme, do it.when it comes to ship-related memes, and you’re worried I'll be upset if you send it because we’ve never interacted ( or never discussed a ship ), please send it! I don't see this as forced shipping. I see it as an opportunity to test a dynamic. the only way to know if there’s chemistry is to take it for a spin.

007. credits go here.

008. I do not follow first! Few exceptions will be made but for the most part I want to write with those who follow me! So don’t be afraid to yell at me and tell me you wanna plot or write once we’re mutuals!

Looking for a RP Partner for WinterBaron RP

I'm a piece of trash and I'm craving some RP where an experienced Dom Zemo shows inexperienced, masochistic Bucky the true ways of BDSM. Bonus drama because Zemo is Bucky's professor included. Replies do not need to be this long (I got carried away), and I'm happy to change/add AUs etc, but I wrote already a prompt to give you an idea of my writing style etc.

Feel free to get in touch here - though I usually RP on Discord or email! ViolencioRP#5741 & violenciorp@gmail.com

Thanks!

Helmut Zemo was a Baron. From all the things he needed to do in his life, working wasn't really one of them. And yet - he enjoyed teaching. He enjoyed research even more, but when he had the choice to go to a big Research University in one of the big cities or to pick a small Liberal Arts College somewhere in the middle of nowhere, he chose the later, certain to reach and to inspire more young minds.

However, even if Helmut Zemo was a professor by choice and by choice alone, there was one thing he certainly had in common with all other professors at his university: He had a life outside of it. Hobbies. Interests. 

Unlike the other professors, his main interest laid in a specific kind of lifestyle. Two, three times a week he drove to The Hydra - a club known to like it a little bit... rougher. Loud music, the occasional cage dancers, a spanking bench where frat boys would pay someone to get their birthday age patted onto their bum with a paddle. Far more interesting though was the upstairs, where the real fun happened - only available to the few select private members and their guests.

Because of the frat boys, all being possibly his students, Zemo always ensured to wear a mask. pulling his coat up high before he disappeared into the safety of upstairs. Through the one way glass, he'd occasionally watch the scenes downstairs unfold, and once or twice he might have asked someone to invite someone up for him. But mostly, he just enjoyed his time upstairs, making use of the private Subs here when he so desired.

And truly, he thought it could stay that way forever. That was, until one day he caught a glimpse of James Barnes and his crew, apparently here to celebrate some occasion. He might have not thought about it much, but Barnes made quite a show to get spanked on his naked arse on the spank benches, and he did mar rather beautifully...

Not that Zemo even remembered that the next time he was teaching the boy in his Eastern European Philosophy class.

But then... James Barnes became somewhat of a regular. Without his crew, he returned the following weekend. And the week after. And... It was fun to watch, seeing the boy discover himself. It was fun, until it wasn't - until Zemo watched him interact with the wrong kinds of doms, watched him learn how to press the wrong kinds of buttons, pushing people into lashing out by being a brat instead of clearly communicating. Instead of being safe, sane, consensual, James Barnes apparently only was interested in getting slapped around and taking it rough.

Which was a pity, truly, because Subs this masochistic were rare, but this wasn't Zemo's problem. He shouldn't get involved - even if it wasn't his student, those were the kinds of experiences people should rather learn on their own.

Well. Until... Zemo had truly only wanted to go out into the back alley to take a fresh breath of air (and have a smoke). Instead of his usual peace and quiet (or some overeager couple engaging in fellatio), though, he heard the whimpering of one person - and the grunting of another. Which, truly, would not even be that concerning, if Zemo also didn't hear the whimpering voice constantly insisting for the other to stop.

Truly, Zemo was not surprised that when he circled the trashcans and stepped further into the alley, he found Brock Rumlow, trying to force his cock into the mouth of some crying boy, clearly already decently roughed up. Maybe if Zemo would have taken a closer look he would have seen some blood - or recognised the kid, but he had little patience for anything involving Brock Rumlow. 

With a trained hand to the man's throat, he pulled him away and whirled him around, his army training still coming in handy. "Leave.", he insisted calmly - and clearly, there was a bit of a backstory between the two. Rumlow cursed and spat, but tucked his cock away. "You fucking sissy, Zemo!", he yelled as he marched off, knowing this was not a fight worth picking. Not even for some cute twink.

Zemo sighed and shook his head, as he turned around to check on the boy the other man had left behind. "What a brute, really, makes a terrible name for all of u--", he started to say, but froze as he finally took a closer look of who he had just saved.

Fuck.
