“Why am I a fucking dragon?!” Wyvern. Technically he was a wyvern, what with the wings-as-arms and all. “Shut up, Simmons,” he mumbled.

THIS FIC has been rent free in my brain and I realized upon my reread today,, i have the power to draw So,,, dragon(wyvern) Grif fuck yes

THEORY TIME THEORY TIME

ok. so. first of all FYODOR FCKIN DOSTOEVSKY I LIKE U AND ALL BUT???? REMAIN DEAD??? U JESUS FR??

ANYWAYS ignoring that

so bc i adore skk to hell and back obviously im gonna explore their dynamic first

what kills me is how familiar they are with each other. they arent insulting each other in every sentence, which is still alright. and what struck me the most is how much dazai seems to trust chuuya. more so than anyone.

so far we know that dazai isn't exactly the most open person around. his entire cheerful joking persona is a facade, a fake. what you see is usually only what he wants to show you. his real emotions? ive only seen them very rarely, if at all. now look at these

the way chuuya says what he does implies that he is already used to this habit of dazai's, which is only possible if dazai did this in his mafia days, AND even then, he was open and willing enough to let chuuya see it and know that dazai was anxious. which means that even before mersault, before dazai left the mafia, he and chuuya atleast were that close that the usually closed-off, know-everything demon prodigy could show his worry to his partner, multiple times.

i think that over here, dazai really isnt hiding his emotions. you can see the shock and worry on his face and in his eyes clearly as he puts the pieces together. not only that, hes also laying out parts of his plan to chuuya, in addition to his theories. which he rarely does unless im wrong about that (its possible). he isnt worried about chuuya using his emotions and weaknesses against him, because he trusts him enough, although i think the trust between them was already shown when both of them fake-killed each other.

its easy to see the panic in his eyes, and personally i feel that this is him showing a bit of weakness, which is perfectly alright. the thing is that again, hes letting chuuya see this. I very much doubt that he would have let down his facade enough to show this to absolutely anyone else.

also the poor guy literally looks so stressed out here give him a goddamn break asagiri

aaaaand now chuuya.

now what strikes me is that even in the last chapter/s, chuuya has multiple times tried to reassure dazai that fyodor is indeed dead to try and calm down dazai's worries. this can also be him also wanting a damn break but anyways.

and these panels. while many ppl are agreeing that hes just sitting there being a pretty boy while dazai tows through helicopter debris (and i agree), and definitely chuuyas sadistic streak when it comes to dazai is showing itself clearly, its often been seen in both the official arts and animanga that whenever working together, chuuya always covers dazai's blind spots.

think about it. dazai has his back turned towards everything. if someone launched a surprise attack on him at this moment, the chances of him dodging, finding out abt it in time is pretty low. chuuya is directly behind dazai. i got this idea from another post i saw, but what if this is also chuuya covering for dazai yet again? protecting him?

anyways thats it folks maybe ill make another post on jesus- i meant fyodor soon

Hiiiiiiiii<33. I just read the Yandere Chamber headcanons and I REALLY liked them. Can I request Yandere Chamber NSFW headcanons this time?

Absolutely. Im glad you liked them. NSFW Below the cut per usual.

NSFW Yandere Chamber HCs

More intimately Chamber is still ever the gentleman however this is kind of where the mask slips. Whats unsaid is said. You know exactly how he thinks of you.

Mumbles of how you're all his are lost to your skin as he kisses every bit of it. He is praising himself for winning you just as much as he is praising you for simply being you.

One of his favorite things is to have you naked and in his lap wearing one of the elaborate chains or harnesses he's gotten you. Delicate chains of gold wrapping around your body but not constricting unless he pulls on the leash hidden in it all. You look like a gods lover or perhaps a really nice statue. He fiddles with the chains as he works, watches tv, etc giving you just enough friction to keep you on edge all while he is off in his own world.

Speaking of naked, he enjoys you being nude or mostly nude far too much. He encourages you to embrace your body and dress as minimally as you wish, even providing options for you so you have anything you don't like showing covered. Of course this is a sight for his eyes only and there are numerous robes around the house incase he needs you to cover up. The windows are tinted so the world cannot see you but you can see it but he does have curtains and blinds that remain open or shut at your request. Your body, and you, are one of his greatest treasures so he does all he can to maintain your comfort so he will have access to it when he desires it .

The first time he is able to indulge in you he takes his time to memorize every detail. You're bashful at how he looks at you and how slow he wants to take you, maybe some bit of insecurity sneaking in. He savors each time after just as he did the first though he never views you as just a sexual object to satisfy his needs. He craves you but he also respects you. You're his treasure, his most valuable possession, he would do nothing to diminish the bond that he has built. As such he always asks, never forces, you for anything even close to sex. Even as you sit on his lap, bare as the day you were born, he is asking if its already to rub your legs and ghost over your most sensitive points. It may be weird to say but the consent from you does more to turn him on than you exposing yourself as to him it just is another show of you giving yourself to him which is the only thing he wants.

Chamber is also the man who takes you for a boudoir shoot. If you don't know what that is it is provocative photos taken artistically as to tease the viewer and is often used as gifts for lovers or to boost self confidence. He brings various props for you to pose around or with, lingerie, jewelry, you look like one of the most extravagant renaissance paintings when he's done with you. Several photos are taken which he makes sure there are absolutely no doubles of, they are for his and his double if you're into that viewing and no one elses. He has well known contacts tweak the pictures to hide anything he wouldn't want being accidentally seen (mainly intimate areas) then has them framed and placed in his office and study. One of the more artistic photos he hires a painter to replicate and has it hung above the mantle.

moving to actual sex, Chamber takes you as often as you'd allow. If you ask it of him, regardless as to what hes doing, he will happily accept. There are view places in his home that you havent been bent over having your brains fucked out of you. During his time at Valorant he memorized the blind spots of cameras and would fuck you where ever when ever possible. Though quick sex is difficult with all his theatrics he is more than happy to fuck you senseless then move about his day.

Something Chamber does prefer is cuming inside of you. If you don't favor it, and in the beginning, he would use condoms of course but then it moves from coming in you to on you. Filling you up pleases him, the image of his cum spilling out giving him enough drive to fuck you again and again until you're sore. If you can be on birth control then he pushes for it until life calms down and he thinks he's ready for the chance of a little one around, he is still working on stuff after all. If you aren't for kids at all then he would entirely fund any operation needed to avoid that be that on you or himself. What ever lets him cum inside you makes him happy.

Something he'd push for, to the point he'd make you think it was your own thought, is getting his makers mark tattooed small some where. The places he'd favor it being are the back of your neck, between your breasts, or above your intimate area (though not a full womb tattoo). Its his little way of fully sealing that you're he is. No matter where you are, what you're doing, who you're with you will always have his mark on you. If allowed he may even use the same nano tech in his own tattoos, telling you its a safety measure when its actually a tracker. The reason he'd ask for permission is that the tech has draw backs, ones he knows well, but the emblem is small enough it shouldn't endanger you.

He will find quick moments to fuck you before going to events, missions, times where it wouldn't be ideal to go to the bathroom or shower, and will cum in you before either sending you off or joining you to the event. He sits silently as you squirm, looking at you with that knowing smile. Its not as if you can tell someone, not that you would even if you could. What drives him to do this is the fact no one else can. You are his to fill, his to mark, his to fuck until you cant remember your own name.

A little way he works more control in is near always fucking you until the point of breaking. Your legs can barely move when he's done with you, your face wet with tears of pleasure. When he can he binds you so theres difficult to hide marks. At times he bites, hard, leaving you marked for days. On one such occasion he would bite too hard, enough blood was draw, leaving a nasty scar that he tended to but made sure scared. Of course this one he makes sure you can hide in day to day life but anything that shows skin immediately tells others you are owned.

When you're bound, after he's asked of course, he uses you as he wishes. Carrying you about effortlessly as he fucks you like his own personal sex toy. In these moments the only place you belong is on his cock or his face. If he wants you in his mouth he holds you there, pleasuring you until hes sated before putting you right back where you belong and filling you. Exhaustion becomes normal. How ever long it takes you to recover he is always there caring for you and meeting your every need. If you let him he would fuck you lightly and gently during this time, keeping you in this sex drunk state for as long as he can.

The toys he allows are always ways that leave you in a state of edge. Chaining you with gold chains and having you sit on a vibrator while he works, your squirming for just on the edge of his vision. A plug placed in you after he fucks you and fills you while a vibrator is strapped to your most sensitive areas

Bonus for people that like seeing double: If you enjoy his mirror as much as you enjoy him then you are in for a time. Everything one does and enjoys the other does as well save for a few kinks here and there. For days at a time, only broken up by a nap and food, you are passed between the two and fucked and marked to oblivion. They are both possessive, both madly in love with you, both awful at sharing with anyone but each other. One fucks you senseless while the other fucks your face. At times they both enter you and fuck you while mumbling praises and passing your mouth back and forth between theirs. While one goes down on you the other holds you against him, stimulating you with his hand while holding you as if you would slip away, mouth devouring yours while his mirrors devours else where. Sometimes your nights start with one and suddenly there is two. Sometimes your chamber is on a business trip when you feel his mirror slip into your shower, bed, room etc in the middle of the night, fondling you before fucking you.

ranking rain code lets plays on how much i enjoy/would recommend them

hi did you know i am incredibly autistic about this game and have watched, in full, several lets plays of it? and im still going? haha yeah im normal. anyway here goes... all lets plays ive watched from best to worst:

#1 Highest recommendation: JustOneGamr. ESPECIALLY for people who are going in blind. im so serious. it's the best way to experience as much of the game as possible without playing it yourself. They go through all of the content, side quests, gumshoe gabs, profiles, DLC, and even most of the flavor text. it's also a no commentary run, which i personally see as a massive boon because they aren't influencing your opinions of the game

#2: Pixel Partners. they've got real good vibes and they actually do the side quests. it's also fun to listen to their theories and see their reactions. they're one of the few who dont spend their time complaining and give more valid constructive criticisms than others. they also have the funniest reaction to the chapter 5 reveal

#3: JohnAwesome. his humor sometimes isn't particularly for me but boy is his lets play enjoyable. also has lots of positive vibes and is generally pretty entertaining. i dont remember if he does side quests but im pretty sure he does. he will easily make chapter 4 even more gut wrenching thanks to a very specific kind of incompetence on his part, which in hindsight is really funny

#4: NyanCave. they're pretty fun and also have great vibes! i like their chemistry a lot. they have some pretty good theories and good jokes, but they will spend a lot of time on responding to chat donations. this is fine like get that bag kings but if you're impatient like me it might get annoying after a while lol. it's especially bad in chapter 5, where the tension dies because of their waifu fight donations

#5: NicoB. I was never really a NicoB fan because he's a bit too loud and high energy for me, but his rain code lets play is still pretty good! he seems to have fun playing the game and even has a few good jokes. i think he does the side quests which is a plus but i could be misremembering. i still quote "and now back to yuma crackhead" to this day so there's that

#6: Faz Faz. This another no commentary run but for people who are in a rush. they go through the game as quickly as possible. frankly, i think these kinds of lets plays are not as good as the ones that go through the sidequests, but hey, it's there if you just want the main plot and gumshoe gabs

#7: Save Data. I don't recommend this one to people experiencing rain code for the first time because they will talk over the cutscenes and dialogue and that will get annoying. they also complain quite a bit about the same things over and over which can also get tiresome (im sorry guys i do Not care about graphics as much as you do). however, they're really funny and it's good for a second or third experience of the game. "this city..." is a highly prevalent vocal stim for me thanks to them. they will shit on on the game often though, so if you really love rain code and dont want to hear that, then avoid this one lol. but you do get to see my art at the end of their vids! that's pretty cool!

#8: Rat Attack. i straight up don't recommend this one. it's easily the worst one i've seen and that's sad because i really love their pngtuber avatars. they're not finished with the game yet and that's probably because they spend so much time ranting and yapping about everything else, or just concocting the most baffling theories known to man and spending wayyy too much time on them. you will also hear a lot of unfunny halara gender jokes sorry. sometimes they are funny in other ways but it's honestly not worth it unless you're like me and keep watching out of obsession for the game.

that's all the ones ive watched in full (so far)! here's a couple others i haven't seen in full but have seen small parts of:

Weeby Newz - she's got some fun reactions from what ive seen and is pretty funny too. i have only really watched her play chapters 4 and 5 though, so i cant give a full opinion. i dont care for yakou fathero as a concept though and she seems pretty heavy on that, but if you like that you may enjoy her let's play. i may go back and finish it soon!

CurtStreamy - genuinely very funny from what ive seen though in chapter 5 his whole crew has a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of makoto's character, which can be a little irritating. either way, most of it is great but his live chat sucks. i still need to watch the rest in full to form a full opinion

CrystAAHHL - ohhh she did Not like this game lmao. she is a based makoto enjoyer though. i only watched the highlight reel though i think watching her full streams would just make me tired. i personally dont like watching lets plays if the person playing isnt having any fun

JazzyGuns - unfinished but she is really funny and has good vibes. if you can cope with her probably never finishing the game then go for it

khee chu - im still in the process of watching this one in full but it's fun so far. i will say CHECK OUT KHEE'S MERCH AND SHINIGAMI X JUNKO ART!!! THE ART IS RLY CUTE!!!!

and that's everything! there's other lesser known ones out there but im just one guy i cant watch em all despite how determined i am to do so </3 above all else i want people to get the game but like, yknow, some folks dont got $60 to spend on a game lol. anyway have fun and happy watching!

Loki Laufeyson x Reader

Wordcount 2k

Loki has been acting suspicious and it wasn't just today but its been like this for a few years now no one really thought anything of it until today, today was the day they figured this out

For the longest time loki had been acting far from the normal it started and all the avengers noticed but never really bothered to think more of it. It started a few years ago  after a mission he had disappeared after the battle and appeared just as if he had no be gone for hours now and ever since that day it had kept on happening.

If he was ever needed in the tower he wouldn't go running off since he knows his needed but he would constantly look at his phone if a message ever popped up. Which surprised everyone since when did he get a phone. But thor the never suspecting and trusting brother he is thought loki was finally acclimating to his new life on midgard but not everyone was convinced. 

Loki when not needed in the tower would disappear for days and would magically appear back if he was needed on a mission which was great but it was still a mystery where he went until today.

On this day particularly tony had an idea that he decided  he'd enact today.

Tony walking to the living room where everyone else was relaxing 

Tony: today is the day 

He shouted, everyone not looking surprised by this but looking at him curious

Natasha: and what is today gonna be 

Clint: oh id love to hear this 

Tony: as you all know loki go for days on end without coming back to the tower unless needed and we all turned a blind eye until today

He paused for dramatic effect 

Tony: UNTIL TODAY MY FELLOW TEAM

Steve: why are you talking like that 

Tony: come on let me have my fun we're finally gonna know where reindeer games goes during his off time haven't you all ever been a little bit curious where he goes off to. 

Thor: i do wonder where my dear brother goes

Bruce: even if we wanted to know how are you gonna do it 

Tony gives a shit eating grin like evil master mind 

Tony: im glad you asked my friends, i have created a tracking device, everhard to plant on your brother by the way thor but very hard to detect by any type of magic or technology ( pretend like i know what im talking about and this devices is possible please hahaha ) 

Everyone look at him shocked

Steve: there is no way you made something like that and stuck it on loki nonetheless 

Tony: but ho ho my friend i did 

As he says that he pulls out his phone with loki's location 

Tony: so who wants to go on a field trip

Reader POV

You were in you house with your daughter Asta cooking, she wanted to help you make apple pie so you decided you'd let her help since watching her do so was so adorable.

Y/N: okay sweetie lemme show you how to do it and i'll let you do it next okay 

Asta: okay mummy 

You showed her how to carefully cut the apples using her own little knife

Y/N: are you okay to dry it you self now 

With confidence she nodded her head and started to cut the apples, while you were do that you decided to roll out the pie do to make the pie crust once done you decide to see how your daughter was doing and with a proud smile you saw she had cut all the apples perfectly 

Y/N: you did heart sweetie now what were gonna do is grab a bowl and put them in her okay 

You go to grab a bowl and put it in front of her to put the apples in 

Y/N: now we add cinnamon and brown sugar can you put that in for me 

Asta: Yes i can 

So she does so with great enthusiasm and without having to be told she started to mix everything together 

Y/N: look at you already getting ahead of mummy 

Asta started to giggle feel so proud of herself

Asta: now what do we do mummy 

You grab the already made pie crust and put it in front of asta 

Y/N: now we put the mixed and and we’ll baking it in the oven 

Asta then started pouring everything into the pie, but just as she was finished she look at the apple pie and thought something was missing 

Asta: mummy doesn't the pie need a top 

Just as she said that you realise you forgot that and were about to put it in with out one 

Y/N: your absolutely right baby thank you for reminding mummy 

Asta proud of helping her mum remember an important step puffs out her chest 

Asta: your welcome mummy 

You then help asta of the bench so she can watch you put the oven and once in she stare as the pie she help made wanting to watch the pie baking 

Y/N: sweetie is gonna be awhile till the pie bakes why do we set up the table for dinner and wait for daddy 

Hearing that her dad would be coming home tonight she runs to the cupboard to grab the plates and put them on the table then coming back and opening the drawer to grab the cutlery 

Just as she was finishing up making the table the doorbell rings, and hearing it makes you smile he was home again 

Asta: daddy home 

She sprints to the door and flings it open and on que loki was already squatting down ready to receive his daughters embrace 

Loki: Hello my little witchlit im home , how are you?, ive missed you so much 

He then starters to smother her cute cheeks in kisses causing asta to giggle uncontrolby

Asta: daddy stop that tickles

He then stops for a moment then gives her one finally big long kiss on the cheek and puts her down, as this was all happening you were looking at them with so much love from the dining room 

Once loki puts asta down he makes his way to you, cupping your face with both his hands

Loki: how have you been my love

Y/N: im been okay my love ive just missed you so much 

Tiptoes to meet his height you give him a long awaited kiss

Astra:can i give daddy a kiss too 

You break the kiss and go to pick up your little girl 

Y/N; of course you can sweetie 

Once carrying her you face her towards loki and she leans in and kissed loki on the cheek

Asta: we really missed you daddy 

Loki: and i have missed you both

Y/N: you must be tired why dont we all sit down for dinner, i made apple pie for deseret 

Lokis eyes light up in delight 

Loki: my favourtie darling you really didnt have to 

Y/N: it was no effort at all since i had help 

Loki looked at your surprised making he way to the dining table and taking a seat

Loki: and who he-

Before he could finish his sentence asta told him who

Asta: i did daddy 

Loki: you did?. Well now i know it will taste eve better 

Small time skip

As you were enjoying dessert and catching up with loki thers is  knock at the door, who could that be as yuo were about to get up loki stops you 

Loki: i got it my love you sit and eat 

Y/N; thank you my love 

Loki Pov 

Who could this be at this hour, i open the door im an greeted with a surprise it was the whole of the avengers infront of my door step

Loki: what are you all doing her 

Tony: what are you doing here?

Natasha: do you live here?

Steve: how long have you been living her?

As they were asking all these question i can hear Y/N getting up from her seating and making her way to the door 

Y/N: whos at the door my love 

I gave out a long sigh even though Y/N has known that i was part of the avengers i didnt want them to find out about her and luckily she was understanding of my reasoning of wanting to protect our family but also keep them away from these annoying bunch

She had shown interest and meeting them and i promised her i would but this was too soon and unplanned 

Y/N: ohh

She said in a surprised tone 

Loki: seems like we have some surprise visitors

Everyone look at Y/N with surprise and shock, everyone was silet for a moment but in tony fashion he decided to be the one to ask 

Tony: who that 

He point at Y/N, i gesture for Y/N to answer her self since i knew she wanted to do it herself, seeing her smile proudly she answers

Y/N: Im his wife 

Everyone eyes go wide in shock 

Everyone: you married

Reader POV 

You laughed at all their surprised face you always wanted to know what theyed all look like once they found out and it was just as good as you thought it would 

Y/N: Yes we are 

And on que you both show your rings 

Clint decided to speak

Clint: i've never seen you wear that ring before 

Loki chuckled and showed them that he put a glamour on the ring to make it look like he wasn't wearing one since he never wanted to take it off. You had told him you could for work but he wanted to it was the symbol of your love until your daughter was born and she become the greatest symbol of your love and as if on que she decided to pop her head to see what was taking us so long

She was shy either, walking up to the door and seeing her favourte super heros

Astra: Oh my gosh mummy, daddy it’s the avengers 

Everyones eyes widen in shock again

Everyone: daddy 

Thor: your married and have a daughter brother why didn’t you tell us 

Loki then gave them a guilty look knowing this was gonna be a long talk you decided to suher everyone in and to take a seat in the living room. As they were all talking you decided to put your daughter to sleep which was very hard since her heroes were all doesn stairs but you were stern and made sure she slept

Once asleep  you walk back downstairs to see everyone still talking

Clint: i know you did  this to protect them but we would have kept them safe too

Thor; indeed brother we would have 

Loki gave out a long sigh and you'd decided to walk to his taking his hand in yours fo support 

Loki : I know you would but we just wanted to to be just us for a while before they were exposed to this kind of life you know plus i know clint is in the same situation but they live somewhere farther but i just couldn't live that far from them. I know i have magic but if there were anything to happen to it i wanna be close just in case 

You decided to add in youe piece next

Y/N: he was just trying to protect us please dont be too cross with him 

Everyone look at one another and decided that it was not something worth being mad at 

Steve: your right. If i was in your shoes loki i would do the same 

Loki looked up at everyone happy that no one was disappointed ta him he was worried that he had lost their trust but knowing that it was for a good cause they understood 

Tony: so now that out of the way lets get to the good stuff… how did you two even meet 

You smiled at the memory of meeting loki it was as if fated intended it to happen 

Y/N: why dont we tell you over some apple pie we have some left over from dinner

[pettyprocrastination]

Hi!! How are you?

I would also love to hear/read more about Tess x Joel x reader!! ❤️❤️

im great!! I hope you are doing well too darling <3

___________

For the longest time, you think Tess and Joel are married. It's an honest mistake, really. Seeing the way they work together like a well-oiled machine and have done so for years leads you to think there's more to their relationship.

Which there is. But neither of them will admit it.

Tess is easier to talk to. Not to say she isn't scary as well because christ, you know the things she's capable of and make sure to never short her on a trade or a cut of the profits, but its different. She speaks. Even as she's looking over the haul from your last run to make sure you aren't skimping her out, she talks to you. Little jokes injected into every few sentences while looking over stock, the occasional remark in awe of "you were able to find this?" that filled you with pride each time in that raspy voice that kept you up at night.

Joel is silent.

He sits in the room and watches. Rarely uttering a word unless its to shoot down an idea for your next run because "FEDRA is getting antsy, unless you want to be on the execution list tomorrow I suggest you wait a few days." or to raise his nose at the oddities you've collected.

Like a proper guard dog, he watches and waits for a command.

The first time you speak to him alone, without Tess, is when it happens.

You had just told him that you were planning another run for tomorrow after making connections with another smuggler who wanted to meet. But the location was at least a two days walk from the QZ.

"You can't possibly be that stupid."

"Excuse me?"

His eyes narrow and he leans in. On instinct you shrink back and curse at yourself for doing so.

"You plan on meetin' somebody you've never worked with before and never seen in person, alone because of what? Blind trust?"

"Because of profit."

He snorts. "Yeah well somethin' tells me 'mutual profit' isn't what he has in mind. The answer is no." Your face grows hot under his criticism, his patronizing fucking voice and that stupid southern accent to the point where you grab at his shoulder when he turns away from you.

"I wasn't asking for permission, man. I was telling you. Just make sure that your wife knows I'm-"

There.

His head snaps back as if you had slapped him, staring at you with in shock before his eyes narrow into slits.

"What did you just say?"

His voice rumbles a low, warning timbre that makes your hands begins to shake despite your intentions of looking strong.

"I said-" the room suddenly feels smaller. Corners all too tight and the door too far for your liking because its hitting you know that youre alone with him and just how many times Tess has sent this man out to break some bones on her accord without a second word of it.

"I said." Your throat tightens and you force the words out. "I said to tell your wife-"

"She isn't my wife."

Oh.

"Oh!"

Joel shakes his head. His face scrunches up and shoulders pull in, you realize then that he isn't angry.

He's uncomfortable.

"Oh, I uh. Didn't know." The floorboards groan beneath you as you shift your weight from one foot to the other. "I just assumed that-"

"Well we aren't, alright?" He holds out a hand to stop your further explanation but it does nothing to hide the red tint creeping up his neck and ears. "She's just my-"

His voice fails him as he struggles to find the words to properly explain just what Tess is to him and him to her. The silence becomes all too consuming as he makes a vague gesture in the air. Flitting his fingers and waving his hand up and down in a way that perfectly encapsulates just how fucking complicated it is.

"I understand."

The situation has gone from terrifying to awkward so fast you could have laughed as you now try to soothe the nerves of the same man you worried was ten seconds away from snapping your wrist like a twig. "It's none of my business, really. Just-" You turn on your heel and cringe.

You'd rather him just break your wrist, honestly.

"Let Tess know when I'm leaving for the run, okay?"

"Push it back a week and we'll join you."

Your hands freezes, hovering over the doorknob and you look over your shoulder. Joel stands behind you, face in his hands.

"I'm sorry?"

He takes a deep breathe and looks at you with tired eyes. "If you can contact your man and get him to push the meeting by a week, Tess and I will go with you, alright? You need to have somebody there with you in case something happens."

He takes a step forward, broad shoulders boxing you in and he leans over and opens the door for you.

"Besides, you're the only one in the QZ who specializes in weird shit." Joel pulls back sighs. "Tess wants to keep the connection."

You don't bother hiding your smile from him.

"I prefer the term oddities." "Yeah? Well, I prefer the term headaches. Now fuck off so I can go talk to her."

Joel watches your form dash down the hall and disappear from his sight. He pinches the bridge of his nose and groans. His thoughts wander to you, then Tess.

Then you and Tess.

"Fuckin' moron."

[fantasticallyfruity4]

Of all the stranger things boys Billy is the one who would have the hardest time with his scars.

For Eddie, his scars are fucking metal as hell. He thinks they’re so cool. He got into a fight with literal bats out of hell and lived to tell the tale. He’s proud as hell of those things, good luck getting that man to wear a real shirt. Crop top/cut off king from now on.

Steve… Steve’s indifferent to his physical scars. His emotional and mental scars are more taxing, not to be a bummer. But like he rlly doesn’t have much time to contemplate the bat bites on his ribs. It’s not something he worry’s about. he used to be so vain. now, he's very at peace with his body. its just a vessel, and frankly its been very good to him. he's survived demo dogs and bats and Russians. he's very thankful to his body, so he goes pretty easy on it when it comes to vanity and ego. (part of why he's so chill about his chest hair now).

But Billy…

Billy has pretty low fucking self esteem. It’s all an act with him, and he knows he fakes it well, but that's all it is. The machismo, the peacocking. He’s someone who sees a lot of- if not all of his own value in being attractive to other people. in being a good fuck. Not worth much more. the one thing he's good at is sweet talking people and getting in their pants. being hot, pretty. but now, now he's not those things (even if Steve and Eddie swear he's beautiful but he so much more than his appearance). he has these big scars on his chest like he had the worlds most botched autopsy. (‘real attractive’ he grumbles most days getting dressed, a sarcasm to his tone that Steve and Eddie beg to differ with. he wears a shirt alot more these days. long gone in the confident, save man in the low cut button downs. those days are behind him, he is far more covered up these days. Steve hates the billy rarely showers with both or either of them now, and Eddie hates the way billy shifts in his sleep desperately trying to get comfortable when he knows billy just can't sleep in a shirt, but refuses to be shirtless and have his scars perceived unless he absolutely must. when the shirt dint come off the first few times they were intimate after everything, neither man said a thing. and when it happens again from time to time, they don't either.)  sometimes the scars hurt too. they burn and get tight and pull and get sensitive to fabrics and the creams and bandages only do so much. and he's got a really fucked up head from that thing coming out of him, too. he's a little hard of hearing (he needs closed captions, “like im someones fucking grandpa” and sometimes he needs things repeated to him 2, 3 times, or he needs them even written out which he hates), and his head acts up sometimes. headaches that just don't quit and leave him throwing up and in bed all day (its called a migraine, honey. my mom gets them, they're a bitch. its okay, were gonna close these blinds and have us a nice lazy day”) he hates it all. he feels weak, like a little bitch, like a nutcase. 

the boys try so hard to protect him, to take care of him, to help. but even that In itself makes him fucking mad. he hates that this is his life, and that this is how he has to be.

they kiss his cheeks and shoulders and promise they love every inch of him, including and especially the mementos of his bravery, and he kinda likes how that sounds. he has a long far way to go to his old level of confidence, but with these two beside him its very possible. sometimes when you build something back up its better the second time around than the first anyway.

Part 5 of shell shocked.

Okay, with my alternative idea for this series, I'm debating on either incorporating the ideas into this work or eventually into my novel on Wattpad "Blind Stitch" so long as it works.

BUT, I have a ways to go in both this series and in my novel before I have to worry about coming to that decision. So, here is FINALLY part 5! This one is gonna be a little shorter.

____

The wind still whipped around terribly. Nolan made the decision for them to stay close to the entrance of the office building. It wasn’t safe enough for them to walk back to his house, nor was it a good idea to bring Lou into the crowd of dolls in the mental state he was in. Nolan rested on his knees, Lou still in his arms, and did what he could to calm him down. The building trembled violently and Nolan worried that the infrastructure would collapse on them.

The Uglies stayed quiet. Ox, Wage, and LuckyBat sat on the far side of the hallway, backs against the wall and silent since Nolan rushed in to grab Lou. Mandy kneeled beside Nolan, firmly rubbing down Lou’s gloved-again hands, starting at the fingertips and moving down in some hope of consoling him. Moxy stayed with them on the opposite side of the hallway. There was already a division forming amongst them. Babo and UglyDog paced around the middle of the hall, not sure which side they would subconsciously side with by sitting with them.

“There won’t any other option,” Ox mumbled, eye still trained on the floor. The wind that buffeted against the double doors nearly drowned out his words.

“There were plenty of other options besides subjecting him to mental warfare,” Nolan shot back, passive-aggressively.

“You make it sound worse than it was—”

“Solitary confinement. Does that work better for you? Might as well put him in a straight jacket and toss him in a padded cell.”

Wage finally stood as her anger rose. “Maybe we should! Nothin’ else has worked so far and I don’t see you comin’ up with any ideas! Maybe we oughtta just keep ‘im from blowin’ out the whole Institute!”

Nolan grit his teeth, misinterpreting the heat growing on his skin to be from his own anger. “You can’t possibly be sadistic enough to try that.”

“Unless you’ve got a better idea–”

“Stop talking,” Lou growled. His eyes were squeezed shut. That electricity was building up again, not only from his own emotions but from the arguing going back and forth. He put a hand to his temple where a headache was forming. The shaking started to cease and the wind quieted down now that he couldn’t focus on anything other than the headache. "If all you're going to do is argue, then get out."

Nolan was surprised when Lou forced himself off of the brunette's lap, albeit shakily, but he forced himself to stand. Ox stood up as well. "And leave you alone? Yeah, right, that ain't happenin'."

"Really? Cause you didn't have a problem with it when you shoved me into that room by myself."

Ox cowered slightly, but he was still defensive. "Alright, that ain't been my smartest choice today, but we can try--"

"No," Lou's breathing was labored, his eyes seeing dots from the migraine. "I'm done with these...these experiments. I'm sick of it."

Ox was silent for a moment, watching Lou carefully. "I ain't takin' you to the recycle."

Lou laughed dryly. "Don't worry, I can walk myself there, thanks."

Now the bunny was growing frustrated. "You're a coward, ya know that?" Lou bristled at that, looking at Ox with a mixture of surprise and fury. "The Lou I knew didn't give up no matter what he faced."

The blond towered over the bunny, but Ox didn't cower back. "A lot changes in...what, 7 years?" Lou bared his teeth, glaring down. "Don't think you know me, because you don't. Not anymore."

"Uh, guys?" The dolls turned to see Babo at the front door, peering through the glass window beside it. "We have a slight problem." He pinched his fingers in the air with a nervous look.

Wage grumbled and walked toward the door. "Compared to Sparky over there, anything is a slight problem." She peered through the window, eyes widening when she saw the fleet of robots outside at the bottom of the steps leading to the mansion. "Oh..."

Ox opened the door and stepped out first, Moxy following behind him. The others stayed inside, for no other reason than to ensure that Lou didn't get out of control again. Ox didn't go down the stairs, though. After seeing these things torture his former best friend, he wanted to be on higher ground. "What's all this about?"

They all looked the same, but one of them spoke up. "Mr Everett has sent for Prototype Model 12. Prototype is declared defective and in need of repair."

"Uh huh." Ox didn't believe that garbage for a second. "What kinda repair?"

"Compliance is necessary for the functioning of the Institute. Any hindrance will be eliminated promptly."

That...sounded threatening.

"I ain't gonna hand 'im over to ya, if that's what you expect me to do." Ox stood his ground. Lou could talk about change all he wanted to, but gosh darn it, that was still his best friend.

Moxy wrung her hands together nervously, whispering. "Ox...maybe we should just let them take care of Lou."

Ox stared down the robots, thinking, before shaking his head slowly. "Somethin' tells me that everyone will be a lot safer if he stays out of their hands. Especially if his Creator gets a hold of 'im."

The robot lifted its arm, pointing it towards Ox, transfiguring it to make its hand vanish, leaving a gaping tunnel. "You have twenty seconds to bring out the Prototype Model 12."

Ox stared at the barrel-like arm. "Yeah? And if I don't?"

"Hindrance will be eliminated."

Moxy gulped, hiding behind Ox as he formulated a plan. "Alright, fine, relax. We'll bring 'im out." Ox gently guided Moxy by the shoulders and led her back inside. He kept an eye on the robots as he closed the front door. "Alright, ya'll, new plan." Ox turned to face his friends… “Where’s Lou?”

Nolan jerked a thumb behind him. “He’s right–” No one. 

Wage pulled at her ears in frustration. “Where’d he go!? I thought you were watching him!?” She pointed at Nolan.

The brunette held up his hands defensively, eyes wide. “I swear he was right behind me a second ago!”

Banging erupted against the door and Ox instinctively slammed his back against it as the knob started turning. “Alright, new plan number 2: run.”

The gang wasted no time in bolting it down the hall. The front door broke down and the robots flooded in, scanning the area before chasing them down the hall. Moxy looked at Ox who was running beside her. “What was plan number 1?”

Ox’s ears were flapping behind him in almost a humorous way if it wasn’t for the metal deaths chasing them. “Also run, but with Lou.” 

They shot through the back door of the mansion, skidding around the corner of the building to do a loop around back to the front. If they could get to the main square, maybe they could at least run through the portal. But they didn’t stand a chance of outrunning something that didn’t have lungs. Other dolls in the Institute took notice of the fleet of robots chasing the gang and exchanged concerned glances with each other. Ox flailed his arms, screaming at them. “Everyone get inside! Hide!”

For dolls who no longer had to practice proper training in how to hide, it was a difficult order to follow, in their defense. They ended up panicking and running into each other before running towards the center of the Institute where Ox and his friends were going. 

The group skid to a halt as the other dolls had nowhere else to go. “The portal is closed!” One of the dolls panicked. 

The robots formed a line in front of the crowd of dolls, armed and ready to fire. Babo rummaged through his pockets for anything that could be useful, but all he found that could be of any use was a slingshot. 

Wage snatched it from his hand. “Gimme that!” She picked up a rock and aimed it at the tin cans. The rock didn’t have enough momentum and thudded unceremoniously against one of their heads. She tossed the slingshot at them and glared at Babo. “Don’t you have anything useful in those pockets!?”

“Everything has a time and place! It’s not my fault this is the wrong time and wrong place for it!”

The robots closed in. One of the robots’ arms began to make a high-pitched whirring noise and it shot out an explosive from its arm. Ox closed his eye. 

It froze mid-air.

Ox slowly opened his eye and dolls began to murmur in the dead silence of the Institute. The robots’ eyes blinked red in confusion. 

The lights in the Institute began to flicker. Electricity sparked around the outside of the explosive from where it levitated. Mandy watched the darkened clouds above spark with lightning, flashing shades of blue. “Lou…”

The gang stepped back as the crowd parted, dolls backing up quickly in fear as Lou walked through them, illuminated eyes trained on the robots. His hands sparked, blue light glowing up his arms like veins. The explosive began to creak under some sort of weight until it landed on the ground, bent and dented. Lou walked past the dolls, stopping just shy of the outskirts of the crowd. 

One of the robots’ eyes blinked red. “Prototype Model 12. Stand down.”

“Or what?” Lou growled back. 

It set its sights on the blond, arm ready to fire. “Or elimination.” 

Lou stared at the robot, lowering his gaze to its arm. “I choose elimination.”

Electricity traveled down his hands, through his feet, and shot out like vines on the ground. The robots had barely any time to react before they were engulfed by it. Their eyes glitched between blue and red, bodies jerking in every direction until they collapsed on the ground. Smoke rose from their bodies and the glowing orbs of their eyes dimmed to gray. 

[the-s1lly-corner]

Hı! İ was laying on my bed then i suddenly think about your TADC headcanons.

İ was wondering how would they react to a smug, sarcastic but ask if they ok or not, doesn't leave them behind when they in danger (probably because grove some empathy for them..) and usually miding his/her own buisness and does not afraid to pick a fight.

Reader said "go f*** yourself b*** face" to Jax one time when Jax was messing with reader

Reader even tried to fix Gangle's mask and tell her that "stop feeling sorry for yourself ! you need to stand up for yourself sometimes " how would gangle react if reader said that to her

(not good at english sorry)

Gangle, Ragatha, Pomni w/ rude!reader who gives advice

already did a request yesterday thats very similar so im just going to link it here and do the other characters in this post i think im going to answer this request and one more and go eat something :3 i always tend to forget to eat something after waking up until a few hours later </3

POMNI:

intimidated by you, but generally stays out of your way. mix of your attitude and because shes trying to find an exit... listens to your advice, though, especially if it has something to do with the circus and how it works and how to hold out for longer.. kind of grits her teeth anytime you say something a little mean though, because she doesnt want to risk possibly losing you as a helpful source of info.. which.. unfortunately leads to her likely turning a blind eye if you're going off on someone else (usually jax) which... well if its jax its probably deserved, but the air does get tense and uncomfortable and thats not really doing anyone any favors, you know?

RAGATHA:

doesnt like your general attitude when speaking to others.. but since this is ragatha, shes still going to be polite to you and wont talk about you behind her back. though, while she still tries to include you in activities and IHAs, i dont think shes going to go out of her way to hang out with you one on one after the first few times.. she doesnt hate you, just doesnt enjoy how you speak to others sometimes.. does give you a pass if what you're saying is deserved, though.. as much as she doesnt like your general attitude around the others she cant deny that you can give some solid advice; albeit blunt and within the same manner you normally speak.. tries to push you to be gentler with things because then people would be more likely to take in the advice you're giving which probably blows up in her face about how you cant be soft with everyone

GANGLE:

i think if the reader said what was said in the ask to gangle i think she would be kind of taken aback. i mean personally i dont think she feels sorry for herself, shes struggling because shes being constantly harassed and knocked down by those around her + i like to think that the mask is like a metaphor for her trying to cope because its either that or abstract. i think it would make her feel worse, honestly, since shes trying the best she can given the circumstances. like do i think she needs to be "coddled" in order to grow a spine? no, but do i think the readers approach is the best? also no, gotta find a balance you know? gangle is too soft to snap back, though, unfortunately.. .so unless you're saying these things to her constantly shes not going to stand up for herself.. but is wearing her down worth it in the long run?

-------- RE. scars & burns | where , what , effects \ kaeya hc

taps the mic. hello ? is this thing on ? okay so im gonna run down the scars that this bad boy has ( pats his head ) because this boy has 'em. first we come to the obvious: the right side of his body , namely his right eye. these , of course , were obtained during the fight That Night with diluc which burned a massive portion of his right side which covers most of his right arm, torso, the back of his neck and snaking around to the small of his back. with the swipe of diluc's greatsword flame flicking up and pretty much into the right eye the only reason he was able to retain the thing was due to barbara's healing. while the eye was saved , he's functionally blind out of it , only able to see really blurry shapes and thus personally counts it as a loss ( believes it would have been better to have had it removed ). in saying this he does the work to keep himself from being blindsided , focusing to keep his left side angled toward most people he talks to or hears coming as he thankfully retains hearing on his right side -- even just slightly below the amount he can hear out his right. with his right arm having been the one to instinctively shield himself , it sustained the most nerve damage and the fact he can use it at all now is nothing short of a miracle. pain is hard to feel in the arm however , thus one could possibly find him bleeding from a wound and act as if nothing is wrong because he barely feels it at all unless the pain is immense enough where it feels like its burning ( ie. extreme heat and cold ; fires / blizzard ) and he'll slink off somewhere to deal with it alone. following this , his smiles are somewhat lower on the right side due to the pinching of the burn scaring on that side and oftentimes would rather not deal with the pain that day , however he can and will bare through it if he's masking a little too hard. buddy is in pain. a lot. either phantom or legitimate ; especially in winter when he cannot control the temperature and its just constant. winter months he'll be a bit more bite-y but he'll do best to keep it under wraps ( or drunk ) and a mask in the forefront to appear as perfect as the calvery captain should. other scars include surface nicks from sword usage from training or actual combat , some frostbitten bits and bobs and abyssal corruption up his right arm . . though its mostly his fingertips / his hand for now.

Thank you for responding to my tags! It was unexpected but very informative lol

no worries! <3 unfortunately my hyperfixation from 2015 to 2020 was youtube so i have a bit of knowledge on the platform (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠) currently their focus lies with adblockers (lmao i know, recent as of october 2023) and even if you doxx someone your channel is VERY unlikely to be deleted or even so much as restricted (i really want to be proven wrong here!!!!!!!!) so most YouTubers, unless they're hardcore breaking rules and are not conventionally attractive/not earning mrbeast money are fine! even with one strike a channel survives, even with three it's possible to reverse decisions.

it just sucks that even on youtube the trend of censoring words is becoming more and more normal (this is to a different scale than adpocolypse 1.0 where crude language would be looked down on by the ad gods and thus youtube would demonitize you) when language is not something that should be censored. we're in a media literacy crisis (piss on the poor!, book bannings etc) and instead of fighting it head-on people are turning a blind eye and coming up with idiotic words like smeggsy, oũssy, mürd3r etc. im genuinely concerned for the coming generation(s) of languages and media literacy but oh well <3 of course a huge part of it is that shorts (the main video format being pushed to compete with shittoks and reels. fun fact, creators are being paid INSANE amounts to post shorts. when you would earn 1 dollar/euro/pound per 1000 views ((not accurate estimates but the same ratio)) from a 10 minute video in 2018, you are now earning 10 CENTS per 1000 views on a 10 minute video → compared to shorts where you earn 1 dollar/euro/pound per 100 views ((not accurate estimates but the same ratio))) are crossposted to 3 to 4 different social media sites, 2 of which censor SO heavily you can barely utter a full sentence before you get a community guideline strike

it's an amalgamation of unfortunate circumstances and perpetuated by a selfish generation that does not yet grasp the full concept of their actions, nor understand the massive consequences this will have, they do not yet have the critical thinking skills to actually change their behaviour in any meaningful way. combine that with parents who put their kid in front of an ipad but dont want them to see anything "bad", companies trying to milk and exploit every last drop before regulations will become way tighter and certain political groups wanting more control over the general public... yeah you get one big fucking mess

[thechaoticreader]

I have to rant about Tender Is The Flesh!!

Last year I read Tender is The Flesh by Augustina Bazterrica and I haven't seen many people agree with me so if Booktok has been yelling at you to read it and you're tired of the vague positive reviews, this is for you!

*Disclaimer: this is all my opinion/feelings, if you loved this book I'm glad and if a negative review of a book you love will be upsetting please protect your peace and ignore me <3*

General Thoughts & Why I Hate It

Im going to start out by saying I am a vegetarian and used to be strictly vegan! The book is very heavy handed about its eating meat=bad beliefs which I found exhausting. At many times throughout the story I found myself shouting "OH MY GOD I GET IT!!! MEAT IS MURDER. JUST TELL ME THE STORY" into the void. It makes very weird parallels that I don't agree with and there was next to no room for nuanced discussion. It felt like the author was holding my hand and explaining absolutely everything, not letting me infer anything, which I personally don't enjoy. I will say its possible that because it is a translated novel that the above issues only apply to the English translation and that its a fault of the translator rather than Augustina.

Another issue I have is that to me none of the characters actually felt like fleshed out people, rather just objects things happen to/around. The main characters motivations make no sense (especially in the second half), where he doesn't even feel like a person, you don't really get to know him and then what little you do gets completely contradicted in the second half of the book. The main character at the beginning is almost unrecognizable from himself by the end. I can't even call it character development because it feels like he sees one shitty thing than a switch flips and he's completely different. Through the whole time reading, I did not feel any type of way towards any character, I didn't care about any of them which made it hard to care about the novel. When I first finished it I felt no type of way but the longer I've had to sit with it, the more I'm growing to dislike it. The worst part is that it could have been so good, with some more nuance and character development it would have been a very interesting story!

There is also a graphic sexual assault scene which I wish I had known about going in. As a surviver of S/A I try to stay away from novels with it unless I've had time to prepare and be in a good headspace to consume it. So a completely RANDOM S/A scene that doesn't matter to the plot really caught me off guard and almost immediately ruined the book. I'm fine with assault scenes if and only IF it is important to the plot/character development. My problem is when its thrown in to demonstrate a character being shitty or for shock value, which I feel is the reason it was included in Tender Is The Flesh; if you removed the whole chapter it would make absolutely no difference and THATS where I have the problem.

My Problem with BookTok & Advertising

First, booktokers and book tubers saying that its best to go into blind and not giving a trigger warning for S/A. I think its generally irresponsible to not give trigger warnings and to encourage people to go in knowing nothing, its so easy to say "hey this book has _" so that survivors aren't further harmed. This is a general criticism that I'll probably do another post going into further.

Second, people call it a horror novel when its really not, its a dystopian and while not a huge issue, it just sets up expectations that it doesn't live up to! It felt a lot more akin to books like the Handmaids Tale than those in the horror genre. So if you want a horror novel, probably don't pick this up but if you want a kinda disturbing, dark dystopian then maybe this will be your book! Accuracy in genre is important because there are tons of people who love one genres and hate other, like myself who eat, sleeps and breaths horror but has never found a proper dystopian that I even kinda enjoyed. Or, people who love romance and don't care about fantasy may like a romantacy but hate a fantasy with a small romance side plot.

Anyway those are my feelings, I hope it helps someone decide if they want to read it or not! Once again, if you disagree thats totally okay! If you loved the book, I'm so happy for you! My problems with it shouldn't detract from hour enjoyment of it!

[blookmallow]

so i went after benny. walking through caesar's camp was a thoroughly unpleasant experience, i do not care for a single one of them but i didnt want to start shit since i knew there was no way i could fight them all off and i figured if they're gonna be stupid enough to invite me in im gonna take advantage and steal as much information as i can (which... unless im forgetting something i dont think i ever actually got to do anything with any of the info i found?? maybe there's more if you progress further in the ncr plotline than i did i guess)

this is how i feel about legionnaires 💖

god. they have children in here. i truly hate to think what a generation who grew up like this would be like. i dont even know what the solution is here. how to you even approach something like this

i dont know how i was supposed to feel about finding benny like this. it didn't feel vindicating or satisfying to me at all. it just felt kind of pathetic. i know this man tried to kill me multiple times but i just had no desire for revenge. i honestly wanted to let him go but i tried a few times and he just kept getting dead immediately so i went to like. research if its Possible to get him out alive and it seems like even if you're REALLY determined nothing really happens and he just kind of vanishes from the game anyway. seems like he was Supposed to die here one way or another. i decided the machete duel was the most in line with my character - if i cant choose mercy (whether he deserves it or not, doesn't matter) im at least going to make it fair

fighting him with a knife and nothing else felt very. barbaric somehow. i did not like how it made me feel. but i like that it made me feel that, if that makes any sense. i dont know if it was supposed to feel like a victory or revenge but it just kind of felt like "what are we doing here, what is any of this for, why are we fighting like animals" and i feel like that goes... pretty well with the overall vibe/message of this game. war never changes and nobody ever wins, eye for an eye leaves everyone blind, etc, etc

i dont know, something about this whole section felt real heavy to me. i think my courier has some pretty serious trauma over it. i didn't go back to talk to caesar after the fight or anything. i just left. i just wanted to get away from them all

im headcanoning that the legion gave my courier benny's stuff as a like "to the victor go the spoils" type deal since, like, i wasn't just gonna leave it there but it wouldn't really make sense for her to go out of her way to go grab his suit lmao

anyway she kept them but doesn't use them for anything. she has no desire to Display them like trophies but felt the need to keep them anyway. i think probably she still uses his lighter. claims its just useful and she doesn't care where it came from but i think it means Something to her. reminder of the past. i dont know

ANYWAY. that's. that on that

i dont think that counts as a bed

i really dont understand the brotherhood of steel, like, they kinda weird me out and i dont get what their whole deal is but they haven't really done anything ive observed that was like... blatantly Evil or anything. i ultimately chose to just leave them alone bc i dont want them as my enemy and i just didn't see any good reason to kill them all. mr house told me to kill them. the ncr told me to kill them. yes man kinda went oooookay! terrible idea, but you're the boss! when i said i didn't want to. i dont understand what they're trying to do but i don't see why mass murder is necessary here either

i love super mutants though. i love this guy

i love this guy as well. i also feel like i probably shouldn't have supported the great khans, i know they're drug dealers who frequently work with fiends and raiders but like. when i tried to negotiate peacefully they were willing to work with me and i convinced them not to support the legion so i feel like that's a win. i dont know i really just went into most conflict situations in this game from a "how can i resolve this problem with the least amount of unnecessary violence possible" standpoint and was repeatedly quite impressed with the number of times i had that option. new vegas really gives you a lot of different ways to deal with a situation before you have to pull a gun on someone. i have connections all over the mojave, i have a lot of science/medical skill points and can usually find a way to pass a skill check one way or another, you really don't have to kill people all that often if you're willing to pull some strings

i pretty much only directly oppose/kill on sight if it's legion or fiends. both of which have a history of Known Rapists. legion has slaves. fiends mutilate people and leave their bodies hanging outside their camps. i feel like im justified there

i found some aliens??? wake up america

i really appreciate whoever felt the need to update this old sign

people making use of whatever busted up remains of civilization they can find is one of my favorite parts about fallout games i still love the novac thing

the textures on this entire section of ground broke. thanks bethesda

and this. as well

and that robot over there which was awkwardly scooting backwards for a good 30 seconds before it finally got back on track

what is happening here

this was a weird wasteland perk thing but i dont understand it in the slightest

[littlehoneybri]

i saw your little blind date matchups open so i wanted to give it a try! 😆 i'll request a genshin male for this if possible! i'll like this one to be romantic, and im not a minor! I'd like an adult character.

personality wise, im a huge extrovert (ENFP) i tend to make friends everywhere i go with little to no effort at all. it comes naturally to me lol. im very energetic and extremely talkative, especially when the topic pertains to something im interested in! its really hard to get me to stop talking most of the time. i love making people happy, a little too much tbh so i can be considered a little bit of a people pleaser. im usually pretty quiet when it comes to speaking my mind so i don't make people upset even if im not wrong in the way i feel. though, on the other hand, i have trouble 'reading the room' more often than not so i tend to joke and stuff when it's not really the time. more often than not someone has to reel me in & tell me when to be serious or not since it's difficult for me to tell. despite all of that, there are rare times where my social battery can run extremely low, and those times i pretty much slink away and sit im silence because i just want to chill out for a bit.

my hobbies consist of drawingg, dancing (gymnastics & ice skating), and writing. i like the cold,, anything pink, history, and math. i very much dislike annoying people, people who cut me off while im talking/people who don't listen.. BUGS,, yeah lol

lol this got kinda long, sorry!!! but i hope you have fun with your blind date matchupss, im sure u have a bunch coming in!!

Hello Hello lovely anon. Thank you for the request - doing these blind dates has been quite enjoyable! I hope you like this!

The wheel of fate has turned, and your blind date is...

~The One and Oni: Arataki Itto~

While he may not admit it, Itto is beyond nervous about his date with you. He spent many hours thinking about how to make the best first impression that he could

Of course, he landed on a miniature Onikabuto battle tournament on the outskirts of Hanamizaka; the perfect opportunity for him to show off his epic skills and impress his date!

Itto is happy to meet someone who can match his energy, and you two could "talk each others' ears off" about your interests

When Itto shows you the little guy he found for the tournament, he realizes his mistake. Upon seeing your discomfort or nervousness, he would profusely apologize...but also work to try and show you that the Onikabuto isn't so bad

You distance yourself a little from the beetle, but try to put on a brave face - he went through so much effort to plan this, and has been a fun ball of energy. People pleasing definitely coming into effect here

The two of you exchange banter; he loves your jokes! Itto does his best to make you laugh and ensure you have a good time

Itto may not be the best about giving you some space if/when you need it. He might have a little difficulty understanding how you're feeling, so unless you're able to communicate it directly, he might try to bounce around and pull you along with him

Itto wins the tournament and excitedly picks you up, professing that while he may be the best ever at beetle battles, your support and willingness to hang in there with him got through to even the little bug and gave it extra stength

While I don't think Itto is necessarily a bad match for you, I do think there would be a lot of differences between the two of you which could lead to some serious conflict. Your people pleasing might go over his head. This, combined with his energy, may lead to a rapid drop in your own social battery. I do think he would make every effort he could to ensure that you're comfortable, but I think he would also have difficuty bringing his energy down - especially if you don't make it clearly known. You two do seem to have similar energies and while it may not be the best romantic match, you could have a lot of fun with one another.

I'd give this approximately a 64%. The relationship could work with a good amount of effort and open communication, but it may not be the most seamless. I do believe there are other characters who could be a better match and provide more balance for you!

My muse(s): Jewel Stone

Do I know your muse(s):  yes | no | a little | tell me about your muse

Bee's knees asdfing I have no words ;o; I'm glad that you enjoy Jewel's headcanons and that you like her! I enjoy getting to learn more about Mari too. Your headcanons with her really humanize her and make her feel like a real person that's imperfect, but likeable and approachable. She's a well rounded OC! I try to be reserved about coming into people's IMs unless I have a plot idea or something relevant to ask, but noted! I love to learn about other people's muses so by all means that invitation goes both ways! c:

Setting: our verse | my verse | your verse | modern | alternate universe | other

Bleachverse is def the easiest for me to work with, but our girls don't have to be limited to that! I'm 100% open to other verses and AUs, even if it's not currently on my verses page. As long as it's a world we're both comfortable with and can make a plot out of I'll v likely be game for it.

Pre-established relationships? yes | no | depends on the relationship

Possible relationships: friends | classmate | co-worker | roommate | family, real or adopted | dating or blind date | married | friends with benefits | unrequited love | lending a hand | teacher - student | rivals | allies | partner-in-crime | enemies | protecter - guarded | business partners | spy - infiltrated | manipulator - manipulated | star-crossed | first meeting | other 

Jewel doesn't like to put herself on a pedestal, even with her position as a lieutenant. She's in it to 'try' to help her division, but it's mostly for the freedom it affords her (which isn't nearly enough and it Bothers her but that's just scratching the surface with her discontent in her division lmao.) Mariko being subtle about her admiration would be the best approach tbh because it wouldn't be in Jewel's face or make her feel awkward (she would be like 'that's okay give it time you'll be disappointed in me eventually' asfas). Jewel would appreciate Mari's level headed coolness and be drawn to her ambition and work ethic. And I think on a subtler level she'd be drawn to Mari's inferiority disguised as superiority complex too -- because her best friend (an OC of mine, named Airi of all thINGS) is the SAME WAY.

I’m in the mood for: fluff | angst | horror | romance | humor | crime | hurt / comfort | action | supernatural | slice of life | crack | dark threads | light threads | any genre | multi-para | shorter para | one-line | any length | plotted threads | unplotted threads | other

I'm generally open for just about anything, even just yelling about our muses and throwing out plot bunnies to play around with, or even like. Coming up with aesthetics and moodboards for verses. I like the thread we have going too! I'm always open to more~

Send me ✔ and I will bold my preferences for your muse! // @icybreaths

My muse(s): Mariko 'Mari' Hagihara

Do I know your muse(s):  yes | no | a little | tell me about your muse

This is the part where I'm shameless and admit I love reading your headcanons and finding out more about Jewel because I am weak and think she is the bee's knees. I do love it when people come into my IMs and scream about muses with me though so if you ever wanna!

Setting: our verse | my verse | your verse | modern | alternate universe | other

Bleach verse works best for them both I think as that's Jewel's main verse and one of Mari's like 87 AUs.

Pre-established relationships? yes | no | depends on the relationship

I just remember your post saying Jewel's been a Shinigami for a good few hundred years and Mari's relatively new to the role, having done it for about sixty or so years, so I can see her looking up to Jewel in her own way. They both have a zanpakuto that people probably don't initially respect (albeit for different reasons, but I can see Mari having an admiration for Jewel that she doesn't say out loud but is kind of obvious to anyone who knows her. She's just a cool lady.

I am very much a go with the flow but also scream about things in IMs kind of girly because I am a loser. I really enjoy the little thread we have going at the moment!

hi yes, welcome to a list of thoughts/things im adding to the Giggle Glow AU-

the glow can also be activated by purring

Wukong purrs in his sleep (only when he’s really comfortable though)

the others find out about this during a sleepover (which they were having because some of them weren’t sleeping well)

initially they don’t tell him but when he does find out he gets embarrassed over it and just. opts not to sleep. which of course leads to-

sleep deprived Wukong. the worst possible thing one could have on their ship

as a side note Macaque can also purr in his sleep it’s just harder for that to happen due to. yeah.

im adding my headcanon of Macaque being easily freaked out by scary movies/stories to this AU

Wukong starts telling scary stories in places where he knows Macaque can overhear them as revenge for the amount of times the other makes him laugh using inside jokes

someone makes a joke and Wukong goes “that. wasn’t even a good joke, like who would find that pun funny?” and leaves the room, closing the door behind him, and whoever made the joke feels disappointed

that is, until Macaque casually flicks the lights in the room off and they can see the flickering glow from under the doorway, proving that Wukong is secretly laughing because he did find the joke funny

IM ADDING THE WHOLE “MACAQUE’S EARS CHANGE COLOR WITH HIS EMOTIONS” AND “MACAQUE’S SHADOW REVEALS HOW HE’S FEELING” THINGS INTO HERE AND YALL CANNOT STOP ME

Mei makes a video thats a bunch of clips of Wukong laughing set to the beat of Mr. Blue Sky. Wukong hates said video so Mei makes it her ringtone for when he calls/texts her

she also makes a video using Macaque’s laugh, but she sets that one to the beat of Hard Knock Life

Red Son....should’ve already known about Wukong’s giggle glow before everyone else, but he. genuinely thought his father was joking/being figurative when he said the Monkey King’s laugh could “light up a room”

Spider Queen knows about Wukong’s giggle glow because he just. would not stop making jokes and laughing at them while he was captured. (....tbh most of it was him trying to cover up his nervous laughter, which was mainly what was causing the glow. DBK picked up on that, but chose to not say anything about it)

yes of course absolutely we are adding the “Wukong is shapeshifting to make himself taller” thing into this. yes this does end up eventually being revealed in a ridiculous way

(what if..........his shapeshifted height fluctuated with his emotions....so he’d get smaller when shy/flustered and also sad but we’re not focusing on that .........ha ha jk......unless-)

he doesn’t stop shapeshifting though, and in fact starts making himself even taller than before.

(Wukong holds an item just barely out of Pigsy’s reach. Pigsy sighs, and then mutters something, and suddenly Wukong is back down to his normal height, stuttering, and Pigsy is easily removing whatever he wanted out of Wukong’s grasp)

like i’ve said before everyone does buy sunglasses so that Wukong doesn’t, y’know, accidentally blind them. what i haven’t said is that MK personalizes said sunglasses by painting cool designs on the sides

the way the fact that Macaque will also glow if he laughs at the same time as Wukong or MK gets revealed is. comedy movie night. Macaque tried so hard to remain stoic (his shadow was losing it when the others actually looked) but he so completely failed

Macaque 🤝 Wukong: getting flustered over the nicknames the others call them due to the Giggle Glow

(MK doesn’t really care about any nicknames he receives, he loves them for the most part. there might be one or two exceptions)

Red Son gets an honorary membership to the “people who glow” group since yes, im giving him the firefly freckles-

they have to make a special camera in order to take pictures of Wukong while he’s laughing because otherwise the pictures just. end up not being so good due to the Bright Light

there is a photo album. both Wukong and Macaque are actively trying to destroy it.

they are not gonna succeed any time soon.
