i read die free or die a failure.

spoilers ahead !!! these are my thoughts and i'm a yapper.

THINGS I LIKED (in no particular order)

andrew. (i feel like i really enjoyed his characterisation even tho it wasn't accurate. like it still felt sort of like him just like he was more vocal??? more expressive??? idk like his real personality was all there. i feel like he didn't really do anything that canon andrew wouldn't do, he just did it more openly. i love the way he handled neil and i love his smartass comments he genuinely made me laugh. and yeah protective andrew is near and dear to my heart)

kevin-neil dynamic (i would include jean in this but i hate to say it i feel like jean didn't quite fit in the narrative. like he was just there. but he didn't have a LOT of personality. it's fine tho we have tsc and that's enough for me. anyway. i loved kevin and neil's sibling dynamic it was SO funny i think they deserve to have more silly brotherhood moments in canon. i also liked how the author rlly deepened their relationship and there were a lot of layers to their bond)

SETH (i'll say it till the day i die seth deserved better. i feel like dfodaf perfectly illustrates how seth could've been if he had been allowed more time and a redemption arc. maybe it was a little rushed but i LOVED the way he became like a protective older brother to neil and actually learned about his mistakes and was willing to own up to them. GOD he had so much potential)

martyr!neil (IDK I KNOW IT'S TOXIC IT WAS JUST REALLY REALLY WELL DONE. it's not completely in line w canon neil's personality tbh but i feel like the author just got one of neil's key personality traits (a penchant for self-sacrifice and getting into near death situations) and just exaggerated for narrative purposes. which i can respect. and i just genuinely think neil is the bestest boy and this is probably very similar to what he could've been like if he had grown up in the nest)

andreil build up (i say build up bc that's the part i loved most abt their relationship in this fic. like it just felt very right for them to be together romantically after everything they went thru in this fic together. and i feel like andreil is a difficult ship to rewrite and make good bc of how well nora developed the intimacy and trust between them but this fic did it right. like the amount of trust they had in each other rlly warmed my heart!!! and i'm honestly a bit of a traditionalist and i like to stick to the canon but i think within the context of this fic their relationship was developed perfectly and paced perfectly. it just felt like the final piece in the puzzle slipped into place when they actually officially got together. like it just made sense. bc they already had that pre-existing foundation of trust and consent and they already knew each other really well. and their banter!!! it was so well written and funny. they had GREAT chemistry. they cooked w this one)

THINGS I KINDA DIDN'T LIKE (no hate!!! i'm just a natural hater and these r just some criticisms)

neil. (SORRYYYY i just can't stand when they mischaracterise my boy!!!! i feel like it kind of is a personal preference but reading this fic didn't really feel like i was reading neil. i think in the first half it was fine and i wasn't bothered by it too much but by the second half it kind of took me out of the narrative. like the neil i know and love isn't this vocal or this open about like...anything. like i just felt like neil in this fic was just very like out there and a lot louder and more...talkative??? than neil in canon. and i think it bothered me a lot bc one of the things i love most abt neil is his quiet (until he's not) personality. like he's really chill and just isn't as like vocal as he was in this fic. again it's probably just me, but i just feel like the neil characterisation in this fic didn't feel quite right to me)

the dialogue (not all of it but a lot of it i remember being like oh ok. like it felt a little too...like blunt??? like the dialogue felt kind of jarring bc i feel like real ppl wouldn't speak like that. a lot of the conversations felt kind of awkward (this isn't me imposing my own like preferences onto this fic even within the narrative it didn't feel right) and i feel like a lot of what aftg does right in terms of writing is showing not telling the characters' thoughts and feelings whether thru actions or expressions. but in this fic it kind of felt like the characters were all just saying exactly what they were thinking and feeling and experiencing at all times and it kinda took me out of the story)

ok that's it. the things i liked outnumbered the things i disliked but the things i disliked were some pretty big things. STILL. i digress. i think writing such a long and complicated fic abt such a well-loved piece of writing is such a skill and i think the author did great even if there were things i personally didn't love about it. go read it PLEASE so i can discuss this w ppl. CHECK TW!!! there are a lot and this fic is very dark and very heavy and difficult to read at times. anyway. props to the author i had a great time.

pokemon partner headcanons for as much of the nfb cast as i can justify giving pokemon to. loosely inspired by this post by @chrswlls. and by 'inspired' i mean i was thinking abt a pokemon crossover in my own time and then i saw the post and then i said "oh well now i have to make my own post about it"

[MILD SPOILERS FOR DAY 296 AND BEYOND]

JEREMY has a male zigzagoon named Scout. Despite being his partner for a long time, Scout's never been much of a battler, so he's never evolved. His extra inquisitive nature and eye for sleuthing has made him the perfect partner for a flourishing news anchor, and Jeremy doubts he would have ever uncovered the Hamilton-Mann scandal if it wasn't for the help of his pokemon partner. Generally, he has a rather lax demeanor when he isn't snooping around for secrets, and tends to be as scruffy and personable as his trainer is.

JENNY has a female minccino named Gingersnap- or just Ginger for short. She first adopted her to have some company in her empty home after the death of her late partner. She was supposed to be a pokemon exclusively for home, but it turns out she's just as helpful at home as she is at Channel 1. Ginger is always astute, keeping an eye out for anything (or anyone) in need of tidying in between ad breaks and cutaways. She has a very sweet temperament, though normally won't leave her perch on Jenny's shoulder.

MEGAN has a female sneasel named Opal, who she took in a while after she gained notoriety as Channel 1's culture correspondent. If she's being honest, a part of her thought it would help bolster her popularity- maybe increase her chance at rising through the ranks of her career… Jeremy and Scout always made quite a pair, after all… Perhaps there was a method somewhere in there she could exploit. She doesn't really know if it worked or not, but she ended up growing quite attached to the sly little devil as time went on. It's unclear who's personality rubbed off on the other's first, but Opal acts quite like her trainer, able to switch from professional and demure to dangerously sharp at a moment's notice.

PATRICK has a male watchog he never gave a name to. Much like Scout is to Jeremy, Watchog is an astute observer that greatly helps Patrick out when he's on the field- be it during a Sportsboard game, or a more serious news related outing. The two of them end up bickering quite a bit, but when they really hone in on what they're focusing on, they can get some pretty significant work done. Watchog did his fair share of sleuthing on the Hamilton-Mann case as well- although Patrick tends to take the majority of the credit for it.

FRANCIS has a bidoof named Flapjack. Or, at least, he was named Flapjack... But after she was forced to assimilate Patrick's position after his disappearance, her pokemon partner had to do the same in Watchog's sudden absence. After a while, the two of them fall into the swing of things, but Flapjack was never really meant to be a work pokemon, let alone for the news of all things... He never really grows out of his sense of camera shyness the same way Patrick inevitably does.

ROBYN has a male midday lycanroc named Cadburry- or just Caddy, for short. Technically, he was the family dog, but out of all of her siblings, Caddy had the closest bond with her. He was her partner ever since he was a little rockruff- helping her to sniff out stories good enough to earn her position at the Swinstead Middle School Enquirer. He doesn't do as much sniffing now that he's older, but he's a great conversation starter, and a big help in luring in potential bystanders for public opinion interviews.

BOSEMAN has a female mabosstiff named Brutus. He didn't check to see what her gender was before he named her, and by the time he figured it out she wouldn't respond to anything else. She's a scruffy family pokemon he doesn't often bring with him to work. He needed something that wouldn't be too dangerous to leave at home- and especially something that wouldn't trample his daughter when he wasn't looking... She never hurt a hair on Petunia's head, though. The two of them are practically inseparable.

JULIA has a female bewear named Sherbert. They've known each other since Julia was a little girl, although she didn't evolve until a little while after she became Prime Minister. If you were to ask her, she would claim that a bewear is a perfect way to represent Advance's values; loving like a mother, powerful like a bear. For the most part, Sherbert upholds those values, and is rather docile and well behaved in public... Although those who don't trust Advance question whether or not there's any darker potential to owning such a powerful pokemon.

PETER currently has a male timburr named Chipper. He took him on a little after he started Just the Job, and the charismatic creature quickly became a mainstay on the show. He wasn't quite as vocal as Chizzel was, though, it was rather obvious he was more popular than him. He was always handy with a tool, a drink, or a bark of caution when sensitive equipment was getting too close to the edge of the table... And he always put Peter's tools in the exact spots he liked them best in.

... Peter used to have a different pokemon, though. A gorgeous mudsdale named Axel- raised it from a humble mudbray when he was younger. When he went to war, it came with him. Someway or another, it didn't survive the slaughter in Konislava... Peter doesn't like to talk about what exactly happened on that expedition- let alone the specifics regarding Axel. Some people think the toxic gas did him in. Others assumed he was simply shot amidst the chaos. Sometimes, rumors go around that he and Ivan ate the pokemon to escape starvation in that abandoned cellar. He really doesn't take kindly to those sorts of rumors...

ALAN has a natu named Pandora- though he doesn't have enough knowledge about birds to know whether its male or female. Generally, he has an extreme distrust of any and all psychic pokemon ("they're a psionic instrument wielded by the government to invade our minds"). Pandora, however, is his singular exception to this rule... How is he supposed to protect his mind from psychic assaults without a psychic pokemon? It's a give and take.

During routes where Jeremy dies during the Heatwave broadcast, it stays a natu for its entire life. However, when encountering Jeremy post his initial escape from Betterment, the raw potential he has to alter the course of the future is enough to force it to evolve into a xatu. Jeremy doesn't know enough about pokemon to know what that means but he has a feeling its. bad.

DAVE 'had' a rotom that went by many names. "Bastard", mainly. Sometimes "Bugger Off" and "Cut That Out". And when I say 'had', I mean it just sort of started haunting the equipment in the broadcast room one day, and he never cared enough to catch the thing or shoo it away. It's a completely wild rotom, just a particularly passive one (he likes to claim he 'tamed' it with pizza and crisps). This also means that after Alex takes his job, the rotom becomes 'theirs', in a strange sense. Although it definitely prefers Dave to Alex. Sometimes it'll cause havoc in the broadcast room if it thinks they aren't doing a good enough job editing- swapping cameras on its own accord and so on.

Rereading the prince!neteyam au and I saw that him and maid! Y/n are childhood friends right? Idk there's something so lovely abt them exploring their sexuality together like they're really each other's first wow

Yesssss I love it too! The hopeless romantic in me absolutely loves the idea that they were each other's first and only.

I went off a little so I'm sorry about the long post lol It's been a while since I talked about the Royalty AU and I got excited

To be honest, I haven't given it much thought yet about how it might have started. I don't think she would have always been his maid. Maybe she started as a general cleaner or part of the kitchen staff? I don't know any terms lol. I'll have to do some research when I actually tackle writing this. But I imagine they they probably initially bond because of their loneliness.

Neteyam has his siblings and maybe a few other friends who are children of some other higher ups in the kingdom, but he's going to be the future king one day and I think that can be a really lonely existence even if you have siblings or friends around you. The pressure is a lot, even as a child, and even though I would never want to make Jake and Neytiri the "bad" parents who are focused on duty and tradition more than their children's needs and growth - I do think that type of responsibility would weigh heavily on Neteyam regardless and they would treat him differently than his siblings even if they don't intend to, which might cause that rift of loneliness.

For her, I think its more about literally being lonely. I don't think there's many kids her age who are actively working where she is and obviously the kids who are her age are off limits (a.k.a the Sully kids). So maybe she's just by herself, forced to stay close to whoever is acting as her guardian and working like an adult but dying for a connection with someone her own age.

So maybe its a "she falls first but he falls harder" type thing. Not love yet obviously. They're still just kids when they meet. But "she falls first" in the sense that she sees him first. She knows who he is, everyone knows who the crowned prince is, and she watches him from the shadows, even when he's just walking by himself or with his siblings. And she wants to talk to him, wants to get to know him, and she's drawn to who he seems to be as a person even more than any of the other kids. But she can't, it's not her place.

And then maybe its a busy day or one of the maids is too sick and she's sent either with her guardian or by herself to bring Neteyam some treats when he calls down for them. He sees her and is immediately intrigued by her and now he's constantly searching for her, eyes searching the shadows when he used to never look there before.

I think eventually they would start sneaking out. Taking walks together through the courtyard at night and talking about anything and everything. Maybe if they're feeling extra goofy, they play tag or have races just to get out any extra energy. And of course there's guards all over the place but they adore their prince and know he's always so well behaved and doesn't get into trouble so they don't snitch on him (at least not yet) and let him have his friendship.

And then it would eventually transition to them getting older, developing crushes, maybe a "lets practice kissing so we can learn together" type thing. He's engaged to the Princess after all - so maybe its so he can learn for her but we all know its really just so he can kiss Maid lol. And then, well... you know how hormones go.

I think one of the most beautiful things I can see with this couple is going to be the absolute trust they have with one another. They're completely from different worlds and they shouldn't fit at all, but somehow they fit so well. Like two pieces of the same puzzle. And I think them exploring their sexuality together and experiencing everything for the first time with one another is such an important part of that. I think they're soulmates. They would do absolutely anything for each other and they're gonna have to go through some shit to get their happy ending, but they're going to do what they have to do to get it.

jasonnie lives in my head rent free now 😔 /pos. i was also wondering abt your thoughts on autistic donnie? as an autistic person i love me some good rep so im constantly brain thoughts on how jase would handle donnies meltdowns or overstimulation. the idea of them having parallel play time with each other owns my whole heart ❤ but yeah just curious on what you guys think of it. love the fics btw! I've read all of it so far and i really like them 🤠

Hello, Fox here! Sorry it took so long to answer this ask! I've been busy as hell, LMAO. But, hey! I'm glad you could join the bandwagon of Jasonnie enjoyers and enablers! There are a lot more of us than I realized, haha! Also, thank you for enjoying our fics! Even though we're not on the Jasonnie fixation as of late, it's always really fun to hear everyone else enjoying these dorks!

As for your question: Personally, I adore the Autistic!Donnie Headcanon and write him autistic in all my stories, intentional or not! Parallel play is definitely something they both just clicked on without having to say a word throughout the entirety of their relationship.

In our fics, Jason grew up in a household that disregarded his existence in nearly every sense of the word. So, after they get along and spend most of their time together? Jason enjoys it when they're doing their own things, sharing space since it's so similar to what he's used to while also being everything he's never given freely. Jason's used to blending into the background and not disturbing those around him. But with Donnie, he actually gets to share the space, to co-exist with him without fear that he's being too much or doing too little. There's no need to overanalyze and second-guess things.

Donnie's family has definitely existed in spaces together, especially when Donnie is working. But there's a significant difference between your siblings trying to help out, asking what you're doing, and getting you to build something for them, and when a kid simply blends into the space like nothing has changed. It's not like his family is constantly obnoxious, but brothers can sometimes be like that. Plus, Jason's smart, he shares the same level of knowledge with Donnie even if it isn't in the same subjects or skills, but he still blends in with Donnie's world instead of sticking out against it like his family does, if that makes sense?

It's like a mix of comforts and mutual unsaid understandings between them. They know how this shared space goes, and they both enjoy how the other exists naturally, so it's like a safe little bubble that they can get wrapped up in sometimes.

I would probably have more Jason and Autistic!Donnie Headcanons to share, but honestly, most of my Autistic!Donnie Headcanons are for my other fic series, and I have yet to think about these boys through that lens in a hot minute! (Any Autistic!Donnie-related Jasonnie ideas that are floating in my head are from the amazing people on the Jasonnie Discord Server and not my own.)

But a scene I think about a lot is Donnie and Jason cooking together. The two of them bond over their Asian Cultures, sharing their foods with each other, especially modified ones, to ensure the taste and texture doesn't disturb or overstimulate Donnie.

Also! Jason knowing his meltdown routine after a year of them being together is definitely something that delights me to no end. Knowing that when you're in that place and know you have someone you can trust to know exactly what you need and always try and follow that for you no matter how worried or hurt they may be in that moment? Because your health comes first, and they understand that? That everything that may have happened before can always be dealt with later? Fucking masterful; it means everything to me.

I do have to apologize, dear anon, for the more vague Headcanons, though? As I said before, it's been a moment since I truly obsessed over these two, but I hope I answered your question? If you have more, I'm more than happy to ramble about them and talk about them! <3

#fox speaks #rottmnt #rottmnt jason #it's unfair rottmnt #rise jason #rottmnt it's unfair #jasonnie #rise donnie #rottmnt donnie #it's unfair #ask #ask response #thanks for the ask!#autistic donnie #autistic donatello

alright, I am a weak-willed man, so here are some ian/aleksei ideas because I’ve been thinking about them far more than I should be

- they are both massive nerds. ian specifically takes a lot of interest in engineering and has a bunch of experience taking things apart and putting them back together to figure out how they work, but not much working with the actual precise tech kind of stuff, so when he sees all of aleksei’s fancy computer and tech stuff, he’s absolutely over the moon.

- aleksei really enjoys teaching him about some of the finer ins and outs of everything and watching him get the hang of it. i think it’s definitely one of the biggest things they bond over at first.

- I think aleksei would very slowly and gradually fall for Ian. he’s intrigued by him at first but it takes a while for it to develop into romantic feelings, and even longer for him to realize that that’s what it is. Ian on the other hand, while slow at first, doesn’t take much time getting a massive crush on aleksei. He gets a angry with himself about it and every time he thinks about it, will get really flustered and frustrated over it

- ian heard about all the tricks Lovushka pulled during the world tournament and is so excited to potentially have found another partner in crime, only to be immensely disappointed when he finds out that aleksei isn’t really all that into it. although he does get along surprisingly well with lera on that note. I think they would make fun of each other and banter a lot but they don’t actually dislike each other, and only tell aleksei that when the other isn’t around

- I honestly don’t know how the other garcias would feel about aleksei. I like to think they would have an overprotective sibling thing with anyone that anyone of them takes interest in but besides that, I dunno. I think it would be funny if they didn’t like him solely on vibes alone but ended up being kinda ok with him after seeing that Ian genuinely liked him.

- Ian likes to steal aleksei’s glasses to tease him but only upon putting them on does he realize that he actually needs glasses himself. he does not get glasses for a very long time however. instead, if he needs to read something while he’s with aleksei, he’ll just grab them straight off of aleksei’s face for a bit and then give them back without saying anything. aleksei has given up trying to stop this

- Ian likes messing with aleksei’s hair a lot. this will sometimes startle aleksei though because Ian will just straight up grab his entire head without warning

- ian could pick aleksei up like a sack of potatoes if he really wanted to and I find that fun. I think he would enjoy just picking him up and tossing him around at random times.

- lera makes fun of aleksei’s taste in partners and only doubles down on this for ian. she’s absolutely astounded how he managed to fall for someone who’s simultaneously a nerd while still being incredibly dumb.

- yk I think it’d be funny if aleksei didn’t legitimately know how to flirt with people. he has enough natural charm to him that he can get by but besides just bonding by shared interest, he has no idea how romance works. Ian I don’t think would notice this at first but he starts to pick up on it over time and teases aleksei a little bit about it. he does find it kinda cute though

- thinking abt these two staying together through shogun steel is really funny to me. i like to think that when the garcias were first setting up dna and everything, Ian would call aleksei and talk about the progress they were making, but it never fully occurred to aleksei what they were doing. he kinda just thought they were setting up some cool tech stuff or smth

- my personal hc is that while obviously Argo and merci-doji did a lot of the main work, Ian also helped design a lot of the dna beys and I think it’d be fun if he sent ideas to aleksei to see if he had any input on it

- aleksei doesn’t realize what all actually happened until like, he talks with Madoka one time (because I think they’d still catch up from time to time in the future) and she mentions it and aleksei just has a “wait it THAT what Ian was doing with the designs he was talking about?” moment and Madoka is just absolutely dumbfounded

- “how did you not realize that you were helping them with their evil organization???”

“I dont know! I thought it was just a fun side project or something!”

#axel’s silly little thoughts #aleksei beyblade #ian garcia #how did i get here #this is so stupid why do I like these two so much hsjsjsjsjs #this was also just partially an excuse to talk about my ian headcanons in general #I have a lot of garcias headcanons I’ve been meaning to share

more of punk!steve bc i adore him

steve first runs into the Party at the arcade (where he works part time because he wants to make his own money as a ‘fuck you’ to his parents and cuz it’s a chill job) and he becomes their favorite worker and they become his favorite customers. one day steve takes a smoke break in the parking lot and sees some kids bullying the Party and his older brother instincts kick in.

he walks up behind the party like “well well what do we have here?” and the Party is like “steve!! :D” and steve in his leather jacket and ripped jeans and combat boots glares down the bullies and they scamper off. from then on steve tells the kids to go to him if someone is bothering them and it becomes town-wide knowledge not to mess with byers wheeler henderson & sinclair. he basically becomes their personal Scary Dog.

the parents end up wanting to meet this young man who kept bullies away from their kids (and they’ve heard all sorts of rumors about him and he dresses like That so they’re suspicious) and steve’s like “yeah sounds great!” and immediately charms all of them because he’s a sweetheart and does genuinely care about and want to protect their kids. from then on he’s the go-to babysitter / ride to school / campaign host. steve pretends to be annoyed but he loves it and treats them all like they’re his younger siblings (especially lucas and dustin)

joyce and steve bond especially and they have coffee dates every sunday and just talk (joyce tries to get steve to come to her when he needs help or just someone to listen). at first everyone who sees them is super confused because what is paranoid mother Joyce Byers doing with the high school bad boy Steve Harrington?? but after a couple months it just becomes commonplace and people will even stop by to say hi

i also think jonathan and steve would end up being best friends in like freshman year and steve would get jancy together in s1 (steve and nancy don’t date). he’s never a third wheel though they have a great “this is my boyfriend and our best friend steve” type relationship. (plus jonathan never takes the creepy pics and the whole fight never happens so they’re all chill).

steve and robin are fellow outcasts so they’re chill. then steve beats up some guys who harassed her and they become actual friends and steve lets robin come over whenever her parents are being shitty. steve lowkey converts her into a punk and they basically do illegal shit and have a bunch of fun.

btw steve is a fully realized biromantic demisexual (or just queer whatv lol) and he has an extremely accurate gaydar which is partially why stobin become friends. anyways i’m mentioning this becauseee

steve meets will byers and Immediately Knows and pretty much comes out to him and tells him it’s okay and he becomes wills Gay Mentor (imo jonathan can either be straight or queer and just not really informed abt gay shit so steve would be the mentor in his place bc they’re basically brothers anyway (joyce absolutely tries to adopt steve multiple times)).

steve meets max at the arcade before any of the Party befriend her and she immediately becomes another of his favorite customers (the ranking is dustin, will & lucas & max, mike). she thinks he’s super cool and basically projects onto him as an older brother figure and he’s happy to play the part. he notices the way billy treats max and threatens him that if he ever treats her like that again he will kill him and hopper will help him hide the body. things are pretty peaceful for max after that. additionally neil hargrove gets arrested for domestic and child abuse and billy takes his car and leaves without a word. max’s mom still drinks so steve kinda unofficially adopts her, she has her own room in his house and ends up staying there most days. he ends up actually adopting her later but they’re still more of an older brother & younger sister dynamic than father & daughter

steve doesn’t interact with eddie until s4 but they know of each other and are on neutral terms until the byers move to cali and eddie starts DMing for dustin lucas mike erica and max (who steve managed to convince to play). they’re wary of each other at first but eddie realizes steve is actually a huge softie and steve realizes eddie is just a cute dork who reads LOTR and plays D&D.

steve isn’t on any sports teams or anything but he works out on his own, goes for jogs every morning with jonathan and nancy especially after the demogorgon and demodog shit. basically he’s fit and good at fighting (due to more experience with it) and nancy taught him how to shoot so he can do that too. most of his scars are from demo-creatures instead of fistfights, though he has a few of those too (not from jonathan or billy tho).

i had talked abt this on my twt a few weeks back but lately ive rly been thinking abt the potential to read ennis as aromantic and like. yeah idk i just think its a really intriguing reading into the character

like i personally see both ennis and jack as homosexual for a variety of reasons, mostly bc a. that was the frame of reference that annie proulx was writing under when she had the idea for brokeback mountain (i.e. what would life be like for a ranch hand who was gay?) and b. the book that was given to both heath and jake to prepare for their roles was a compilation of memoirs written by real gay midwestern farmers

BUT. all that aside, i think that an aspec/arospec reading of ennis' character is one of the interesting ways in which we can use the visibility of previously "lesser known" queer identities to analyze this story under a modern lens

cause like, ive mentioned this before but i kinda went insane for awhile and so for the first half of this year i went deep in on brokeback mountain. like, i read every article and listened to every movie podcast about this story that i could get my hands on, and a common debate surrounding the story (so much so that theres a whole section on its wikipedia page dedicated to it) is the debate around whether jack and ennis are gay men or bisexual men

and like...sure, okay, theres definitely valid readings in both of them. I just think that, since our understandings of romantic and sexual attraction and our vocabulary to describe these different experiences has expanded in the 17 years since the movie's release and the 25 years since the short story's initial publishing, we can take a look at these charas under new lenses with which to analyze them with

i think you can make a very valid argument that ennis is a gray-area aromantic who falls in love with the one person in his life who hes able to open up, relate to, and create a super close bond with, especially if you consider ennis' extreme loneliness throughout his entire life. it only really hit me the other day, when i was rly thinking deep about this, how hard it must have been for someone in his circumstances to meet people and make friends around his age, considering the fact that he dropped out of high school as a freshman in order to work to support him and his siblings after his parents died.

couple that w this sort of stoic, distant personality type that the hard, rough, small town american west sort of breeds into men from a young age, and like. i dunno, it makes perfect sense to me that an aromantic ennis would fall in love with the one person who hes forced to spend an extended amount of time with, who he later finds out has also grown up a poor, drop-out ranch hand with a hard home life. especially since jack also made an early effort to get to know ennis, i just think it was all the prime circumstances for him to end up falling in love.

i also think it tracks w both heath and jake's mentality when approaching these characters? cause in interviews they gave at the time, they both kinda maintained this belief that ennis anc jack were both "straight" men who just so happened to fall in love w another man

and like. setting aside the fact that that was a VERY 2005 thing to say, lol, i think the idea of someone like ennis by chance falling in love w a man still tracks if you read him as arospec. like it still comes w all the trials and tribulations of him being invested in this homosexual love affair, as well as all the internal tension he must be feeling (i.e. why am i in love with him? shouldnt i be feeling this way about Alma? what is wrong with me?). like thats very much a universal queer struggle that you can read into his character regardless of what sexual orientation you see him as

anyways tl;dr the conversations around the sexuality of the characters in brokeback mountain is rly fascinating and i think that we can look back with our expanded knowledge of sexuality and see these characters in a lot of interesting ways

#long ass post lmao #either way annie p herself described this story as a sort of litmus test that everyone will read their own things into it #and those things will reveal more about the person analyzing the story than anything else #like i said i maintain the belief that jack and ennis are both gay men. theyrs both homoromantic and homosexual in my eyes #but again i just think its cool to read different things into characters written in a time period w not as nuanced of an understanding of #sexuality stuff as we have now #still brokeback posting #brokeback mountain

Howdy! Your demon 3rd form Luci is AMAZING and Hot! How tall is he? Can his tail do the peacock fan thing? What happens to the undercarriage? Does he have a mating dance?

How do you feel about mate markings, and hoe demons are territorial with their boo

Lastly, where do you think the bros place their pact marks on mc and thensves?

Sorry. I hope this makes sense. I'm really high and I saw your Oct 1 post and I can't not ask bc now i. Abt stop thinking about jt.

Goodnight,! I lovr your blog

Hehehe I’m happy to hear you like Luci’s design and I hope you have a good/night, too!!

Luci’s a very pretty boy and I love talking about his demon form. He can be anywhere from 6’6’’ to 7’10’’ depending on his form or how he’s feeling that day. His tail can do the classic peacock fan, but he never does it on purpose. It usually rattles and fans out without his consent whenever he feels a strong emotion, and he absolutely hates it. It’s practically the only part of himself that he can’t control fully, and it makes his emotions surprisingly easy to read. He doesn’t actually have a mating dance of any sort, but he is fond of inviting his partner to actually dance together! Slow dancing with them quickly becomes one of his favorite pastimes.

I think mating marks and some demonic possessiveness is,, uh,, very hot hhh, but I plan to make a full headcanon post about it, so I won’t add anything more here!

Now, on to pact marks! (Spoilers I suppose for up to lesson 20 and specifically lesson 16)

On themselves, they’d let MC pick the location, the fact that their partner chose it makes any location special. If they don’t have a preference, though, the mark would end up being in the same place that their mark is on MCs body.

Lucifer prefers placing his mark somewhere bold and exposed, staking his claim on his partner and making sure any demons that pass by will be able to see it, and know to keep their distance. Being the last to make a pact with them, he has to work around his brother’s marks, but his first choice would be across their chest, the top resting at the hollow of their throat, and reaching down to the middle of their chest. Any place that is rarely covered up is acceptable in his eyes, too, if their chest is already taken, like on their neck, on the back of their hand, or even somewhere tastefully on their face, as long as he can be sure it’ll be visible.

Mammon is the first one to make a pact with them, giving him practically unlimited options in terms of placement, but he knows from the start where he wants to place it: right on their neck. As much as he complained about the pact, at first, he wants everyone who looks at them to see that they're his human. He could be convinced to shift it to their hands, but he’s very stubborn about it. He wants his mark to be a loud and clear statement of their bond, as well as an added bit of protection. Not many demons would mess with someone so clearly marked by a demon lord, after all.

As much as Leviathan wants everyone to see his mark and know that they’re his human, too, he feels much more comfortable placing his mark somewhere slightly more hidden. He doesn’t feel the need to flaunt his power quite as much as some of his brothers, and the mark itself is enough for him, not needing it to be obnoxiously noticeable. His first choice is somewhere like the inside of their wrist, or perhaps somewhere on their lower leg, like their calf or ankle. That way, while it won’t be visible in their school uniform, he’ll still see his mark now and again in quieter moments, while spending time and relaxing together.

At first, Satan considers placing his mark somewhere where it would be visible, difficult to hide, purely out of wanting to get a rise out of his siblings, but he changes his mind when the time comes to actually pick a spot. He feels that it would do their bond more justice to mark them somewhere more private, making it feel more personal to him. He picks a spot along their hip or upper thigh, a place that’s rarely exposed, but he knows it’s there, and that’s what matters. Plus, he often finds himself placing his hand there when sitting together, an almost unconscious gesture, but he enjoys feeling the energy of his mark on their skin when does it.

Asmodeus humors the idea of placing his pact mark somewhere rather naughty, and ends up picking a suggestive spot at first, right above their pelvis or on their inner thigh. It’s not something he put a lot of thought into, considering he agreed to the pact out of curiosity, wanting to see just how powerful they could become as a sorcerer. It’s only afterwards that he starts to understand how he feels about them, and requests to shift his mark. He wants to place it in the hollow at the bottom of their ribs, a delicate spot close to their heart. They’ve already left a figurative mark on his heart, so he wants to leave one on theirs as well.

Beelzebub doesn’t put a whole lot of thought into his pact mark placement. He values the pact itself greatly, the bond he shares with them being important to him, but he doesn’t need a mark to show that. The mark ends up manifesting somewhere based on what part of his own body he happened to be thinking about at the time, most likely on their stomach, upper back, or bicep, due to him feeling hungry and sore from working out more often than not. Either way, he doesn’t mind the location, and he isn’t bothered that it’s not easily visible. If he really felt the need to leave a noticeable mark on them, he’s perfectly capable of leaving a hard to miss, yet temporary, mark with his teeth.

Belphegor spends a lot of time thinking about where to place his pact mark. A pact wasn’t something he thought he’d ever want, so he’d never considered it before, until now. It’s an important decision for him, though, with it not only being his first pact, but also the first step into a fresh start together. His pact is an apology of sorts, and a promise to never hurt them again, so he chooses to place his mark on the back of their neck, or somewhere along their spine, placing a physical promise of safety in the same area that he had once used to kill them. He hopes they can make that connection themselves and understand what it means to him, because he’d never be able to get all that out verbally.

#obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me lucifer #obey me mammon #obey me leviathan #obey me satan #obey me asmodeus #obey me beelzebub #obey me belphegor #demon form #obey me headcanons #also!! i saw ur second ask too!#ill answer that soon as well #hope u still enjoy this even if ur not high anymore loll

may i ask you to elaborate on tua season 2?

hell yeah dude

for an easy answer @deer-time's tua salt tag is a really good starting place (though they've moved most tua-related stuff to their sideblog @salty-coffee)

but if you don't want to go through that basically, in no particular order:

it felt they were just shoving in scenes for the music and the soundtrack just wasn't as memorable as season one

the time skip ensured that we missed out on most of their development. i have a lot of beef with the time skip

i cannot stress enough how much the handler should've died in season one lol

WHY WOULD NONE OF THEM KNOW WHERE KLAUS WAS HE WAS LITERALLY A CULT LEADER

luther, at the very least, should've seen vanya's ads in the newspaper. diego allison and klaus i can understand because one was in an asylum (i have my beef with that don't worry lol), the other wouldn't read white newspapers, and the third was traveling

vanya's amnesia plot felt like it was just there to smooth her over? she got no meaningful interactions with the siblings because she didn't know them and the conflict they set up at the end of season one ('we need to fix her') never went anywhere. we love wlw representation but was vanya really ready for romance after all the shit that went down? she needs time to process and grow not forget everything and latch onto the first woman that takes her in. we got no exploration of her trauma. also why can she just automatically control her powers now? no trauma recovery narrative for vanya i guess. she spends the entire season as essentially a side character with no real agency in the plot? also where did the new powers come from hello

speaking of the romance literally none of it was executed well. why did raymond assume his WIFE was a government plant before at least hearing her out? vissy was written so shallowly it's not even funny. liego happened way too quickly and diego forgot about eudora too fast. klave was okay i guess lol idc abt them

why did diego and lila face no racism? why were they in an integrated asylum in the south? why did they actually show diego being helped genuinely instead of them just making his situation worse? i don't think therapy was that genuinely developed. diego felt like a completely different character

why would luther, known goody-two-shoes, work for the mob? also why would he not ask jack ruby to look up his siblings' names for him before? he went back to the alley so he at least had the thought that they landed in the same spot at different times right. also he was way too dumbed down and made into comic relief for the benefit of the luther haters

klaus was literally made irrelevant? he had nothing to do, his relapse was treated as a JOKE, his addiction wasn't explored, and he was basically just comic relief like luther

allison's plotline felt it was just there to get her out of the way, she totally forgot about claire, her trauma was ignored for the second season in a row, etc. she wasn't even mad at vanya like this woman slit your throat and incinerated your daughter i don't CARE that you treated her badly i think that's a pretty good basis for some friction? (screw the amnesia plot obviously)

five and ben were left pretty intact specifically because ben's personality isn't there and five didn't get a time skip

why did they forget that drugs suppress powers when vanya was with the fbi

very sexy of tua to introduce the concept of an evil corporation that's essentially the root of all their problems in season one and then redeem it but just giving it new management? and have five of all people look into the faces of herb and DOT, WHO LEFT HIM IN THE APOCALYPSE AND DIDN'T PUSH FOR HIM TO GET EXTRACTED, and say 'yeah guys totally! :)'

also he should've eaten carmichael i don't make the rules

NONE OF THE SIBLING BONDING FELT REAL BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET TO SEE THEIR DEVELOPMENT. NOTHING VANYA DID FELT REAL BECAUSE OF THE AMNESIA

the swedes were legitimately not necessary. screw the swedes all my homies hate the swedes. why did they stay all the way until the finale

where did the five+allison jfk plot go that was so good

why did lila automatically know how to control their powers

elliott wasn't necessary either they should've just made their home base hazel and agnes's house with no unnecessary fridging please. that's where they could've gotten a briefcase too

the atmosphere felt completely different? season one was dark and slow and had the vibes of a gothic horror, almost? it was watching a train wreck in action, seeing all these plot threads inevitably combine for one hell of a finale. there was nothing like that in season two. aside from the obvious atmosphere change, it didn't feel like there was any direction to where the story was going? the only two highlights of the finale i care about are diego deflecting the bullets and five rewinding time. that's IT. and compared to season one's finale, it's utterly disappointing

idk it just felt like a popcorn flick/marvel movie and those are fine! those have their place! but the entire draw of tua was the darker themes and focus on childhood trauma/abuse, and they just completely failed to follow up. those have their place, and it was not here

all in all the writing just felt weaker

there's more in the 'tua salt' and 'tua s2 salt' tags

anyway tua is a ten-episode-long miniseries

#tua #tua salt #tua s2 salt #luther hargreeves #diego hargreeves #allison hargreeves #klaus hargreeves #five hargreeves #number five #ben hargreeves #vanya hargreeves #sissy cooper #raymond chestnut #lila pitts #hazel #agnes #the handler #the swedes

TWST FAMILY HCS PT2) Savanaclaw and Octavinelle

Feel free to tack on your own Hc’s too!!! I love reading what other people think and how their view of the characters and of Twisted Wonderland in general change from person to person!!!

Savanaclaw:

Leona:

-Farena: We already know Leona describes his brother as being carefree and relaxed, but deep under that I think he’s a deeply intelligent man (how can you run a kingdom and be stupid?). He tries his best to make time in his schedule for his wife and child, and even try to get bonding tike with his younger brother (which never works out well). He tries to teach Cheka as much as he can, often giving him little life lessons while they play games. He’s a very kind and straightforward man, often being blunt when he doesn’t mean to. He stands a little taller than Leona, with Orange hair similar to Chekas. He keeps his hair tied out of his face as much as he can.

-Sister-in-law Kingscholar: A strong and confident woman, not afraid to speak her mind when she wants to. She’s blunt and she’d let you know about it. She’s also very kind in her own way, often dragging Leona off and trying to have serious talks with him, which he appreciates but doesn’t show. She adores Cheka and often spoils him without meaning to, and will spoil Leona too (but indirectly in a way similar to Ace’s father’s). Also very intelligent and good at reading people. I think she stands a little shorter than Leona, but she holds herself higher, and he slouches, so it looks as if they’re the same height. She has long yellow hair (again, similar to the ends of Cheka’s) that she often ties back as well.

-Cheka: We already know him, so heres a few Hcs!: He sometimes asks his mother to do his hair the same way as Leona’s, and tries to do everything like him (such as standing like him, trying to deepen his voice to sound like him, throwing sand at various objects in the castle yelling “King’s Roar!!”)

Ruggie:

-Grandma Bucchi: As he said himself, a stern and prideful woman. I think she’d be on the stricter side, having to teach Ruggie how to survive rather than him having to face those hard truths alone. She likely stands a lot shorter, likely 5’0 (sorry to anyone whos that height), than most other beastwomen. She’s a lot physically stronger than she looks, often still trying to pick Ruggie up at his age. She tries to spoil him when she can, trying to make him relax after working and taking over the household chores (which he declines, still cleaning up when she’s not looking- which earns him a smack to the head with a broom). She’s also a prankster, quietly jumping out from corners and scaring Ruggie or one of the other children. I think she feels a lot of regret over seeing Ruggie grow up so fast in the environment that he had, but she’s the proudest grandma ever. Whenever he sends pictures back she boasts to everyone at home (“See that! That’s my grandson’s school! See that there! He plays magift and is one of the best on the team! Look there! He’s got those nice ceremony robes!”), and even boasts about him with what little baby pictures they have (“See him walking at such a young age? Isn’t he so strong?”) Will never stop talking about her grandson, ever.

-Neighborhood kids: I think they’re like little siblings to Ruggie, so I’m adding them. They try to tale over what Ruggie did when he was at home, helping people fix up their houses or entertaining the baby hyenas when their mothers have other things to do. They also leave gifts to Ruggie when he comes back, between little dolls they made, bracelets they thought he’d like, charms, or pretty rocks and leaves. He keeps all of the gifts, no matter how small.

-His mom (bc the poor woman deserves a spot)(Poor meaning unfortunate)(The more i think abt it, both. It means both. Bad time?): I think she looked a lot like him, but with brighter blue eyes than his. She was definitely a prankster at heart, leaving clever traps behind for any poor soul to get stuck in. She was a very hardworker much like her son, taking on any task she could find to help out her mother. I think she’d try to leave as much behind for Ruggie as she could, which would include little notes and scribbles about how she was feeling throughout her pregnancy and how excited she was for him. Ruggie also kept all of those safe and sound, in a small box he keeps in the corner of his room.

(Can you guess who my fav chara is?)

Jack:

-Grandma & Grandpa Howl: A very loving couple, who always make time out of their schedule for their grandchildren, whether it be for school events, emergencies, or if any one of them want to come by and talk. They met when Grandpa Howl got lost and wandered by Grandma Howl’s family’s cabin (which happens to be the one they, and the rest of the family, still live in to this day) and he spent the night. I think they fell in love at first sight :’)

-Mama Howl: A very soft and loving beastwoman who is willing to sacrifice anything for her children. She is often strict, and sometimes a chatterbox, but she always reminds her children to stay safe and that she loves them. She always pats their head or cheek when she walks by, even if she has to reach a little to plant a kiss on Jack’s forehead. I think her hair would be a little darker grey, and she’d definitely be a little more muscular and taller, reaching six ft one when standing straight up. She’d have the same yellow eyes as Jack, and her hair would be cropped shorter due to her still moving around a lot.

-Papa Howl: Very similar to Jack personality and appearance wise. He stands an inch or two shorter than Jack, but is still very muscular due to working around the house and in the woods (chopping wood for the campfire, dragging around tools, carrying three wolf pups at a time in his younger days (only one now wants to be carried, which hurts the poor man’s heart a bit)

-Baby brother Howl: Huffy and a little moody, but a hard worker even if he complains while doing it most of the time. That’s often with his parents, but when he does something with Jack he doesn’t complain a bit. He’s very attached to his older brother, looking up to him for his strength and strong morals. He often compares him to superheroes and star athletes in his mind, but sometimes it slips out, resulting in one very embarrassed wolf boy and another very flattered wolf boy, ignore their wagging tails, it means nothing. I think he stands pretty tall for a preteen, around 5’7-5’8 and growing taller by the day. Same hair and eye color as Jack. Acts like he doesn’t like to play games with his younger sister but will never turn down a game of tag.

-Baby sister Howl: An absolute sweetheart. She just wants the best for her family and will do whatever she can to make what they want happen. Jack is hungry? Good thing she made her special dessert (it’s a poptart with whipped cream messily piled on top with sprinkles and literal sugar cubed wedged in it, but don’t tell her you don’t like it, please she’d actually bawl). Her other older brother is tired? She can get him extra blankets! Mama needs help cleaning? She can mop (she really just throws water on the floor and praises herself for a job well done). Papa need to cut wood? She can- no, she can’t. Please don’t give her an axe. She’ll cheer him from the sidelines with a song she made up just for him instead! She has their mother’s grey hair and father’s dark brown eyes, and loves to do her hair like the princesses she sees on Tv! (Yes, Jack will wear a too-small dress and Tiara if his sister wants to play princess. No, he will not let anyone take pictures.)

Octavinelle:

Tweels:

-Mama Leech: At first glance, a very kind woman with soft eyes. Willing to open her arms to anyone who might need help. Then, a terrifying grin similar to Floyd’s as that poor unfortunate soul realizes the trap they’d been thrown in. She’s very kind and patient towards both her boys and husband, as well as their friends (even of she is on guard near their friends, throwing a few hollow threats to see if it’d scare them away)(She doesn’t like to share her babies). She dotes on the tweels as much as possible, indulging im whatever curiosity they may have. Floyd wants to know what going through riptide is like? They leave tomorrow to find one. Jade wants to know more about life on land? She’ll find as many books as possible and ask (threaten) people for their land belongings. She knows when too far is too far though, and is very skilled at reeling the boys back in if they get to that point. Will always call them her little guppies, no matter how big they get. I think she’d have a teal bob on top, with the underside of her hair being black (which makes her hair look color changing when she swims). Im her human form shes only a few inches shorter than her boys, ranging around the same as Jack’s mother.

-Papa Leech: The definition of old Hollywood New York mob boss. Strict and blunt about his interests and problems, and not afraid to cause any problems if provoked. When the tweels were younger and they’d wrestle and bite at him, he’d throw them off him easily, telling them they need to work to beat him, even if he was impressed by their teamwork at first. Will die to protect his family, and was likely put in that position many times in the past due to his uh… business. He values his wife and children more than anything, and has done everything in his power in the past to protect them from harm. When they went to NRC at first, he felt defeated and almost wanted to beg them to stay safe with him (not that his pride would allow it).(Both the tweels can see through his facade easily)

Azul:

-Grandma ‘grotto: A very stern and prim octomermaid. What she says goes in the Ashengrotto house, and she often catches herself making unnecessary comments. She does apologize. Also a very loving grandmother towards Azul, often babying him whenever possible (doing the classic “you’re not eating enough here take some more” grandma move)(She will smooch his face whenever possible when there are no business clients nearby). Tries to boost his confidence since she knew about what was happening to him (Chances are she went through the same thing- being an octomer as well) and dod her best to protect him and make him happy. She taught him how to write with his tentacles and encouraged him to do his best in everything he does.

-Mama ‘grotto: Another businesslady in the front absolute softie in the back situation. Adores her son and is incredibly proud of how far he’s come.I think she looks identical to Azul, but more heavyset and, of course, female. She coddled Azul as much as possible, which worked out well with baby Azul’s clingy nature. She had no shame in walking around with the little guy stuck to her (unless he smacked a tentacle to her face when she was working on her restaurant), and made sure everyone knew what a good boy he was. She would show pictures to everyone (similar to Ruggie’s grandma), but respects his wishes in wanting to hide pictures of his past. She still shows anyone who asks pictures of him at NRC (compliments to the twins, who send her updates when her son is busy), and will tell everyone how smart he is and how much he’s grown.

-Step-Papa grotto: A very professional man in every aspect of his life, which stretches to his relationship with his stepson. When he learns about the contracts and Azuls UM, he’s over the moon with how happy he is. He swam around with a little more pep than usual, flicking his tail and flaring out his fins the more and more Azul told him. He helps him reword and format his contracts to his advantage, and is always willing to talk with him about Mostro Lounge or (on rare occasion) some memories before Step papa Ashengrotto met Mama Ashengrotto (which always make him happy that Azul trusts him enough). I think he’d be a pretty generic looking Mer, with an average looking tail and such

p.s.: my requests and tag lists are open!

link to my full m.list

xoxo ray

To say that you were proud of him was an understatement. You absolutely adored him , maybe more than a best friend should. You had known him since high school, being an outcast as much as he was. The two of you bonded over your differences, bonded as if you were siblings. He only saw you as a sister, yay. You hated that. You fell in love with him the first time he sat down with you at lunch. You tried to avoid it, but you fell fucking hard, face first into the pavement. Sebastian was a captivating man, and he fucking knew it too, introverted bastard.

Girl after girl after girl. He had game, you had to hand it to him, and he mostly crafted it himself. Did he ask you for advice when it came to girls? Absolutely, you were the closest person to him besides his mom. When he started acting, you went with him. Splitting the apartment with him, running lines for auditions, being the helpful sister that he thought you were. You remembered when he was auditioning for Fifty Shades of Grey. You thought you were going to melt into the floor when he fucking looked at you like that.

Now, here you were sitting on the couch of your shared apartment, downing glasses of wine, alone because he was out celebrating the release of his new movie. You were so proud of him, so, so proud. You were curled underneath a fluffy blanket, rewatching Criminal Minds episodes. Really you were just trying to get your mind off of Seb. Your phone buzzed on the coffee table, making you lean forward with a groan to pick it up. Not coming home alone ;)

You dropped your phone to the couch, of fucking course he isn’t coming home alone. You texted him back quickly, okay, i’ll clear out. Every bone in your body was telling you to stay and interrupt his plans, but you just couldn’t do it. You picked up your blanket, trudging to your room and tossing it on the bed. Scrolling through your contacts on your phone you found the one you were looking for. You balanced your phone in between your shoulder and ear as you listened to the rings.

“Hello?” Chris’s velvet voice rang through your speakers.

“Hey, Chris. Can I come stay with you tonight? Seb is bringing someone home and I don’t really want to be subjected to that torture.” Chris’s sigh was heavy and disappointed.

“Again?” You let out a short laugh at his comment.

“You know how he is after a movie. I just can’t be here while that’s happening.” Chris agreed as you packed a duffel. The ride over to Chris’s house was tricky. You had been dealing with Seb’s more playboy ways for years now, but this was just harder for some reason. Chris opened the door after you knocked twice. Your shoulders were slumped over, duffel bag weighing you down physically. Chris opened his arms wide, waiting for you to initiate the hug he knew you needed.

“I’m sorry, Y/N.” Chris led you to his couch, dumping your duffel next to his dining table. His arms wrapped around your shoulders as you both sank down on the cushions. “Why don’t you just tell him you love him, Y/N?” You scoffed loudly at Chris’s comment.

“As if! You kidding, Chris? He only sees me as his sister. I’m not willing to go through losing him just because I have these fucking feelings.” Your voice was cracking, not wanting your sobs to escape.

“You never know, Y/N. He might surprise you.” Chris backed away from you, leaving to get a glass of water for you.

“I love Seb, but that man is so clueless. There’s absolutely no way that the love he has for me is anything other than platonic.”

******************

The door pushed inwards at the turn of the knob. Sebastian’s lips hadn’t left the girls before him, his hands roaming her torso, gripping lightly. He listened to her little moans, smiling into her mouth. He pushed her against the now closed door, hips holding her in place. Her hands traveled to his hair, pulling harshly causing a groan of pleasure to leak into her mouth.

He leaned down, gripping the back of her thighs, waiting for her to jump. He wrapped her legs around his waist. He brought his hands to her ass, kneading the flesh there. Sebastian dumped his phone and keys off on the bartop before he brought this woman into his room, plopping her on the bed. He caught his upper half with his arms, lips still locked with hers. She ground her pussy into the bulge in his jeans.

“Mmm, Sebastian.” The woman beneath him moaned in his ear. “Are you gonna fuck me good?” She leaned forward, gripping her hands at the nape of Sebastian’s neck. Her hands drifted to Sebastian’s cheeks, jerking his head to the side, biting down on his earlobe. Sebastian brought his head out of her reach, ducking lower to land sloppy kisses on her exposed chest. The woman below him moaned again, tangling her fingers in his dark tresses. Sebastian allowed his hands to roam her lower half, slowly pushing the fabric of her dress over her hips, his lips never leaving her skin. The woman pulled harshly on his hair, causing a short groan to leave his lips.

“Mhm, Y/N, baby.” The air shifted. The woman beneath him hesitated for a second. She pulled on his hair again, yanking him up to face her.

“I’m Tracy, baby.” Sebastian’s cheeks heated, but not from the actions he was committing. He decided to ignore Tracy’s comment.

“Well then Tracy, can I take this off of you?” He plucked at the fabric covering her breasts, eyes darting up to look at her through his lashes. A move that he knew would get him what he wanted.

“Oh, god. Yes. Please, yes.” Sebastian backed away, just long enough to shed the dress from Tracy’s body. He didn’t stop to admire the woman under him, that wasn’t what he was here for. Instead, Sebastian dove back in. Sliding down her body, stopping at her waistline, her pussy covered by a hot pink thong. How original, he thought. He slipped a finger in the fabric above her lower lips.

“Can I?” He smirked as the woman stuttered out a yes. Sebastian wasted no time, pushing the thin strip to the side to begin his mission. He focused on the woman’s clit, sucking harshly, then backing off, continuing this cycle until she was begging him for more. Sebastian felt a sharp sting on the crown of his head then a dull ache as the woman used her leverage to bring him closer.

“Please, Sebastian!” Sebastian moaned at her tugs, vibrating against her exposed clit. The woman threw her head back at the feeling. Sebastian smirked into her vagina, softly thrusting two fingers inside her. “Oh my god, Sebby baby, please!” Sebastian’s brows furrowed slightly, not sure how he felt hearing this woman call him your nickname for him. He ignored the knot growing in the pit of his stomach.

“You okay with this?” Sebastian’s lips were latched onto her neck, mumbling into her skin. The woman’s throat fluttered with a groan, she pulled his head back to look in his eyes.

“My name is Tracy, I want you to use it, baby.” She kissed him harshly, “And yes, fuck me now Sebby baby.” He grimaced on the inside, not letting the emotion show on his face as he removed his clothes. The woman’s hands came up to his waistband after she took off her dress. Sebastian stepped out of his pants as the woman’s hands landed on his underwear band. She looked up at him through her lashes, a smirk painting her features underneath the obvious layers of makeup. He once again ignored that nagging feeling once again. Instead, Sebastian’s head fell back as the woman’s lips wrapped around his hardened cock. His head dipped backwards before pulling her back up by her hair.

“If you do that, I’m not going to last.” He tossed her backwards, his left hand gripping his shaft preparing to guide it into the woman’s ready and wet pussy.

“Oh! Yes! Sebby baby! Fuck me hard!” She yelled as Sebastian pushed into her fully. He drowned out her moans, feeling that feeling in his stomach grow yet again. He knew it wasn’t from pleasure, but he couldn’t quite place the actual feeling. Eventually, Sebastian felt his pelvis rest against the woman beneath him. His head dropped, chin resting on his chest.

“Oh, god. Y/N.” The words just slipped out. The woman under him was apparently oblivious to what he said. Unfortunately, he figured out what the feeling was as he was balls deep in this random woman. His dick softened, his body disgusted by his actions, not letting him partake in the action he wanted to. The woman under him scoffed.

“Did you just--?” Sebastian pulled out, backing away from her. He cupped his now flaccid penis, grabbing a pair of sweatpants out of his dresser.

“Yeah, I did. Look you’ve gotta go. It’s not you, I’m just hung up on another girl, I guess.” The naked woman on his bed held a baffled facial expression.

“You’re fucking with me, right?” Sebastian tilted his head at the woman occupying his bed, biting his bottom lip.

“Trust me.” He scrunched his nose at the situation. “Normally, I would fuck you so hard that you wouldn’t be able to walk right tomorrow, but I’ve got some shit to work through.” Her jaw dropped in disbelief. She pushed herself off the bed, walking seductively towards him. Sebastian crossed his arms over his still bare chest as his eyes ran over her naked form.

“I can help you work through it, Sebby baby.” Sebastian’s brows raised as he side stepped her advances. He leaned down, picking up her discarded dress from the floor, holding out the crumpled fabric to her. The woman clenched her jaw, eye slightly twitching. She huffed as she took the dress from him, pulling it over her head. She was still huffing as she walked to her shoes, slipping them onto her feet. The woman rolled her shoulders, squaring herself before facing Sebastian again. She approached him again, walking her fingers up his still bare chest.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to help with your little problem?” Her eyes flicked down to his groin, brows raised. Sebastian walked past her, opening the door.

“You need to leave, Tanya.” The woman stomped her foot like a child.

“It’s Tracy.” She stormed past him, on her way out the door. Tracy stopped once more before leaving, holding her phone up. “I’ll call you later, Sebby baby.” She winked at him as Sebastian slammed the door closed. Sebastian turned to the now empty apartment that he shared with his best friend, the only girl he’s ever really wanted in his life besides his mom. He dropped his head into his hands, groaning at how clueless he’s been.

“Fuck me, man.” He walked off to his room, stripping the bed of the sheets and comforter. He threw them in the wash before retreating to take a shower to wash off the remnants of Tracy.

*******

Meanwhile, you were curled up on Chris’s sofa, drowning your sorrows in alcohol. Not the most healthy, but you were also not really caring about being healthy at the moment. You stroked Dodger’s head as he laid next to you on the couch. He came back into the room and groaned at the sight before him.

“Oh my god. Where the hell did you find that?” He snatched the bottle from your hand, putting it out of your reach. “You’ve gotta get up, sweetheart.” You swatted at him. Your hand felt heavy as you let it flop back onto the couch without resistance.

“What’s it matter?” You glared at the ceiling as Chris sat on the coffee table in front of you. “I just want to forget Seb right now, Chris.” You let your head drift to the side to face him, still petting Dodger. “It just so happens that I want to let good ol’ Jackie help me through it.” You held your hand back out to him, opening and closing your fist. “So gimme, Christopher.” You weren’t drunk, Chris could tell that much. He could also tell that you were hurting way too much to know when to stop drinking, so he wasn’t going to provide you with anything that could hurt you in the long run.

“You don’t want to forget Sebastian, Y/N.” He leaned down, locking eyes with you. “You love him, remember?” You groaned, flopping back against the couch, disturbing the peaceful dog beside you.

“Ugh! Yes, I know that, Christopher!” You sat up quickly, hands resting on the cushions on either side of your legs. “I also know that Sebastian has absolutely no romantic feelings for me!” You stood suddenly, walking to Chris’s kitchen, grabbing a water bottle from his fridge. You took a swig of the refreshing liquid, deciding something on a whim. You stalked back over to your stuff on Chris’s dining table, rifling through your possessions for your phone. You held the object in your hands, dialing Sebastian’s number before Chris realized what you were doing. The phone was already up to your ear when Chris figured out what your plan was.

“Sebastian!” You spoke into the speaker to the man’s voicemail box because he couldn’t be bothered to stop his most recent hook-up to talk to you. “We really need to talk! I’m heading home now, so if you’ve got a bimbo there, get her out.” Chris started towards you. Your eyes widened as you continued talking into the speaker. “I don’t want to walk in on you fucking some chick because we’ve got some real important shit to talk about.” You ran away from Chris, shouting now. “Actually, I’ll just say it now. I don’t like you anymore! I don’t! I’m tired of waiting for you to feel the same way, so I’m giving up!” Chris stopped in his tracks, disbelieving as he listened to what you were saying. “Also, I’m moving out. I can’t do it anymore Sebby.” Your eyes filled with tears, as you finished talking. You ended the call and locked eyes with Chris.

“What did you just do?”

“I can’t take it anymore, Chris. It hurts too much.” Your eyes were glassy with unshed tears and they would stay that way. You’ve spent too many nights crying to Chris about your unrequited love for Sebastian Stan. “I deserve better.”

“But you’re in love with the man!” You shrugged your shoulders as you shoved your stuff back into your duffel. “If you go through with this, you’re really going to lose him.” You hesitated, gulping harshly at his comment. You shook your head.

“That’s a risk that I’m going to have to take.” You turned to face Chris fully. “Chris, I can’t do this anymore. Every time I get those texts that he isn’t coming home alone, everytime he asks me for advice about a date, everytime that he invites me to his premieres. I. Can’t. Do. It. Anymore.” Chris tilted his head at you, understanding what you mean. He opened his arms for you like he did when you first got there. “I can go to a hotel if you don’t want me here, that’s fine.” You spoke into his neck as he held you.

“Surely you aren’t serious.” He pushed you back by your shoulders. “You’re welcome here for as long as you want. Long as you walk Dodger sometimes.” Dodger let out a bark at the mention of his name, making you and Chris laugh. You offered him a watery smile.

“Thank you Chris. I don’t know what I’d do without you.” You wrapped your arms around his waist, burying your face into his chest.

************

Sebastian had just finished remaking his bed when he realized he lost his phone in the process. His newly cleaned sheets were calling for him to join them and he longed to. What he really wanted though was to wake up to you in those newly cleaned sheets. He looked around his room, picking up his jeans from earlier, checking the pockets for his jeans. His mind was scattered with all these new emotions, so he wasn’t thinking straight.

He was unsuccessful in his search of his room, so he traveled to the living room. He spotted his phone on the countertop of your shared apartment. As he picked up his phone, he thought of all the times you sat on the counter, watching him make dinner for the two of you. A small smirk crossed his features as he remembered the one time you attempted to make brownies, almost burning down the apartment building in the process. He shook his head, glancing down at the phone in his hand. The screen lit up with a new notification from you, well, new being from two hours ago. He opened the voicemail, bringing the phone to his ear.

“Sebastian!” He smiled when you said his name. “We really need to talk! I’m heading home now, so if you’ve got a bimbo there, get her out. I don’t want to walk in on you fucking some chick because we’ve got some real important shit to talk about.” He winced at your comment, guilt bubbling in his chest. He could hear Chris shouting at you in the background of your message, making him smile at your naturally funny nature. “Actually, I’ll just say it now. I don’t like you anymore!” Sebastian’s stomach dropped as he continued listening. “I don’t! I’m tired of waiting for you to feel the same way, so I’m giving up!” He listened as you inhaled sharply, he could hear the sobs you were withholding as you ended the call. Oh my god, no. His head snapped to the door as he heard a key turn in the lock.

“Y/N?” Instead of seeing your face, he saw Chris. Sebastian walked to him quickly. “Where’s Y/N?” It was a question, but he wasn’t really asking. He needed Chris to tell him.

“What does it matter to you?” Chris was immediately on the defense for you.

“Chris, come on man.” Sebastain was begging at this point. “You know how I feel about her.” Chris cocked a brow at Sebastian, settling his hands on his hips.

“Then why all the women, Seb?” He pointed to the door, “She is suffering because you can’t man up and admit that you fucking love her.” Chris walked into Sebastian’s space, backing him up. “Why should I tell you anything, Sebastian? After what you did to her?”

“Because I love her!”

“You love me?” Your voice sounded unusually small coming from the threshold of the apartment. You walked to stand slightly behind Chris, wanting a physical barrier between the two of you. Sebastian’s shoulders sagged as he took in your wrecked form.

“Yes, Y/N. I love you.” Your eyes flicked from Sebastian’s to Chris.

“You can go Chris. Sebastian and I have a lot to talk about.” Chris turned to you, hand on your forearm.

“Are you sure? You can stay at mine if you want to.” You smiled at him, hugging him quickly. A slight feeling of jealousy flared in Sebastian’s chest, which he knew he had no right to be feeling. You seemed to be whispering something in Chris’s ear, enough to reassure him that you were okay. You stayed quiet as the door shut behind Chris. Your eyes hadn’t left the spot that Chris had been standing in.

“Please say something, Y/N.” Sebastian pleaded. You shrugged, finally bringing your gaze to his. Sebastian’s heart clenched as he stared at your glossed over eyes.

“What is there to say, Sebastian?” Sebastian went to respond when you cut him off. “No, you know what, I’ll tell you what there’s to say. You love me. Too fucking late. You love me after bringing in girl after girl after girl. You love me but you asked me for help on your nightly excursions.” You stepped towards him, backing him into the counter.

“You love me but you have no shame in texting me that you’re not coming home alone. You love me but you have the audacity to think I’m deep enough in sleep to bring a girl here while I’m home.” You backed away quickly, leaning your weight against the back of the couch. “What the fuck is that Seb?” You threw your hands up, “I told you over the phone that I was done. I was serious.”

“Y/N. Please, hear me out!” Sebastian started, but you weren’t having it.

“No! I’m in love with you! You don’t have to say anything. I know you only have platonic love for me which is fine! I’m in love with you, Sebastian Stan. I just needed to say that to be able to move forward.” Sebastian’s brows furrowed at your last statement, he pushed off the counter, starting toward you.

“You needed to say that to be able to move forward?” He stopped in front of you, making you straighten up and rise to your full height. Even though you weren’t as tall as Sebastian, you refused to be too much smaller than him. “What do you mean by that?” You scoffed at him.

“You know what it means, Seb.” You swallowed a fresh batch of tears. “It means that I love you, but I can’t do this anymore. It hurts too much, so I need to move on.” Sebastian’s eyes roamed your face.

“What if I don’t want you to move on?” Your brows furrowed. “What if I have more than platonic love for you?” He dipped his head closer to yours. “What if I’m in love with you too?”

“That’s a really cruel joke, Sebastian.” You pushed on his chest, but he didn’t move.

“Good thing it isn’t a joke, Y/N.” His lips met yours in a feverish kiss. You gasped as he moved his lips with yours, allowing him the opportunity to slip his tongue in your mouth. You let yourself enjoy the moment for only a few seconds before breaking it off, wiping your mouth in disgust.

“Ew, Sebastian. I know for a fact that you had one of your bimbos up here earlier. If you think I’m kissing you after that bitch then you’re fucking delusional.” You were able to shove him away from you in his shocked state. You went immediately to your bathroom, ignoring the mass of a man following you. You started brushing your teeth vigorously, glaring at him as your toothpaste foamed from your scrubbing.

“Would you believe me if I told you I didn’t even fuck her?” Sebastian leaned against the doorframe of your bathroom. You laughed as you rinsed out your mouth.

“No, I wouldn’t.” Sebastian brought his hand up to clutch his heart as if your comment physically hurt him. You walked past him to your dresser pulling out a pair of spandex and a random shirt. Sebastian placed himself on your bed, leaning against the headboard as you went back into the bathroom to change. When you came back out, Sebastian’s heart dropped. You were wearing one of his shirts that he’s been looking for.

“Wow.” His eyes ran over your body in his clothes. A blush spread over your cheeks, as you wring your hands into the hem of the shirt. You shuffled to the other side of the bed, not sure what to say to him. You pulled back the covers on your usual side of the bed, crawling in and getting comfortable. You shifted your body to face Sebastian who was sitting under the covers now too.

“Look, Seb. I’ve loved you since we were kids, but you’ve really hurt me with all the women that you’ve just proudly pranced in front of me.” You laid down, settling your head on your pillow. “So it’s definitely going to take time for me to trust you.”

“I’m willing to do whatever it takes, Y/N. I really do love you.” Sebastian said as he leaned over, placing a kiss on your forehead. He went to leave, but stopped when your hand gripped his wrist.

“Now that I’ve confessed my love for you, do you want to help me cross something off of my bucket list?” His brows raised as he waited for you to continue. “Will you sleep here tonight?” Sebastian smiled big, what he wanted was going to happen too.

“Of course, Y/N.” He snuggled in close to you, wrapping his arms around your waist, pulling you to his body. He pushed his face into your hair, inhaling your shampoo. “Mmm, I’ve wanted this for a long time, Y/N.” You smiled at his action.

“I’ve wanted this too. I just wish one of us would’ve said something sooner.” You placed a soft kiss on the junction of his shoulder and neck, letting your eyes drift closed.

“Me too, Y/N. I’m not letting you go anytime soon though.” He felt you smile into his skin at his statement as he also slipped into a happy slumber.

tell me abt the characters PEASE their relationships seem so interesting

this ask is old too but oh m GOD. i’m gonna talk about the relationships actualy but there’s so many relationships in this game like SOO many i’m not gonna do all of them here but i’m gonna do some i like. hold on tight and bear with me because i’m autistic and i know how to use it. i’m not doing them all but anyone can send another ask if they wan tto know more ^_^

also this ask made me REALLY happy i just want you to know HEHEE. 💖💖💖💖💖i love talking about my blorbos sosososoo much so this made me giggle and kick my feet while typing u know

okay. okay. i don’t even know where to start so i’ll get the ones im not too invested in out of the way. crypto and caustic HATE EACHOTHER. they are both going under fake identities and they both know it. but ALSO. crypto and caustic are stepbrothers. caustic is the biological son of mystik, an old woman who adopted crypto when he was younger. however crypto and caustic never met (i don’t think) when they were young so they didn’t actually Know this for a very long time until SOMEONEEE (me. pathfinder) literally just Guessed that since their mothers went by similar names that they were the same person. and then i just said bye and FUCKING LEFTTTTT. it was really funny they were both like. …………… see below:

ok next is uhh bloodhound and fuse. fuse joined the games and after a hard journey for the two of them bloodhound became fond of him. he comforted them throughout their journey trying to find themself and blaming themself for their home’s loss and destruction. the voice actors and like half the community ship them really hard so that’s cute i guess. idk if i’d call that canon though but they definitely are SUPER cute when they talk to one another

fuse and maggie OH BOY. OH BOY they were like Besties since they were little little kids. pretty much siblings. almost their WHOLE story is explained with this sfto though if you wanna watch that instead of me explaining. but yeah they hate each other now because fuse Left her and the already diminishing planet of Salvo to fend for themselves, basically selling them off to the syndicate. so yeah fuse is kind of a dick so maggie is furious with him (rightfully)

awwww rampart and mirage awww. they’re so cute. what started off as a bickering friendship between the two blossomed into soemthing mirage could Only define as a sibling bond, reminding him of his brothers (which he had lost). they’re siblings they’re found family and they’re so funny together their relationship makes me cry a little bit in a funny way and a sad way i love them. see below:

crypto and mirage HAHAAAAAA they have this like really gay frienemy thing going on it’s so funny. crypto called him old man and mirage called him kid when they first met even though crypto is literally older than him (there was speculation that he’s like… 28 or soemthing though but idk if that’s true or not) but yeah they’re silly

mirage and pathfinder YAYYYYYYY me and my bestie!!!! it started off as me just being like. annoying to him but then he started to like me and tolerate me and then we became besties. short and sweet but i (canonically and in-game) call him my best boyfriend so. you could say it’s a little Bit Gay but that’s up to you 😋 he loves me even if i’m a little bit silly (this is the same dynamic with wraith but she isn’t as mean to me HEHE) here’s a thing he wrote me after giving me a ton of flowers to cheer me up YAYY:

wattson and caustic ohhh boy. this one’s confusing. father-daughter like bond at first, caustic really admired her work in the science field and she appreciated his admiration. then that bond formed but caustic tried some shady shit in broken ghost because wattson started becoming besties with crypto and wattson REALLY didn’t like that so they like… weren’t friends anymore? and he did some more shady shit and she like electrocuted him and i guess that worked because now he’s like a sad puppy when he talks to her. so yeah idk what happened HAHAH.

last but not least me (pathfinder) and ash. yayyyy. i don’t liek talking about this one because i don’t like the way i was written here but i’ll give you the gist. i foudn her in the dumpster after she was put together and like. saved her i guess because she got rebuilt after. and then she moved in with me and i had a little girlcrush on her for a while (it was one of those “you’re a girl and you’re my friend, so you’re my girlfriend!” things) but she wasn’t interested (the way they wrote me was a little creepy :((( ) and she left. but she joined the games a couple seasons later and i apparently still haven’t let it go because i still. yeah. but yeah after she left i was depressed for like an entire season until my best friend mirage cheered me up ^_^ yay

#viper zach and talbot don’t look at the second paragraph‼️trigger #OKAYYY i might just do another one if u send another ask asking for it because if i did them all at once we’d be here for hours so YEA #ap*x l*gends #ily ily i love talking about my guys sooo much AHHHHG.
