So I rewrote the Battle of the Five Armies for my Everyone Lives AU because yes I’m still in denial and no you can’t stop me

• Everything up to Fíli getting captured is the same

• Fíli is caught by Azog and held out over the cliff. Kíli is below in the nook. While Azog is giving his speech, Kíli shoots him from below in the wrist, causing him to let go of Fíli. Fíli falls to the ground, onto Kíli, breaking his fall, who drags him into the nook and hides him as he tends to his brother’s wounds. Fíli regains his strength after a short moment and, despite Kíli’s better judgement, Fíli gets up, and races back to the top, calling for Kíli to follow.

• The two brothers fight countless orcs as they climb the stairs of Ravenhill, searching for Thorin. Once they come upon the plateau of ice, they find Bilbo weeping over Thorin as they speak.

• Kíli shuts down, thinking it is too late, but Fíli remembers something crucial. Back in Lake-town, he had pocketed a pouch of Kingsfoil in case his brother’s wounds hadn’t truly healed. With it was a messily-written note of Tauriel’s incantation written out phonetically.

• “I will not let you go, uncle. Not today. It is not your time. We will have a great feast tonight and will walk within the halls of Erebor among our kin. I cannot walk there without you.” - Fíli to Thorin as he kneels down opposite Bilbo, preparing the Kingsfoil. He rips open Thorin’s shirt, revealing the weeping wound before pressing the mixture into it. Thorin lets out a roar of pain but Kíli snaps to attention and runs to hold him down to stop his thrashing. Bilbo grabs Thorin’s hand with both of his, pressing his forehead against the bloodied knuckles, whispering pleas for him to hold on.

• The Kingsfoil incantation only partially works due to Fíli being a novice in elven spells, however it buys them time for Gandalf to get there and finish the spell properly.

• Thorin is taken to the medical hut where he regains his strength for the next week despite his refusal and insistence that he is fine. Bilbo eventually gets through to him and Thorin gives in, allowing the healers to aide him.

• Thorin does not remember what happened when he had succumbed to the dragon sickness, it is only when Bilbo flinches at a sudden movement of his when he is getting frustrated that Bilbo realises Thorin does not remember. Bilbo reluctantly tells him the truth when Thorin demands to know what he did wrong.

• Thorin never forgives himself for his actions, even going so far as to denying his birthright and banishing himself from Erebor. He gives the crown to Fíli who does not accept it, choosing to go with him for Thorin is more important to Fíli than ruling. Kíli never wanted the crown and so the brothers appoint Dain as the rightful king for they would not have prevailed without him.

• Thorin and Bilbo part ways, Bilbo returning to Bag End unsure if he will ever see Thorin again because despite what happened, he never blamed Thorin for it was the fault of the dragon sickness and not his own mind.

• After about a year, Bilbo hears a knock at his door. He is greeted with a very nervous Thorin, quite a juxtaposition from his usual stoic nature. Bilbo doesn’t believe his eyes, convinced that he is dreaming. Thorin cannot help but whisper, “Bilbo…” before engulfing the hobbit in a hug.

• Thorin rambles on a whole poetic speech about how he does not deserve redemption for his actions and he simply came to apologise. Bilbo takes Thorin’s face in his hands, pulling him down to eye level.

• “Stop it. Just stop it, you giant oaf. I forgive you. You never let me speak my mind after the battle. I never blamed you, Thorin. I never have and I never will. It was that bloody dragon, not you. I stand by my word when I say that I am glad that I have shared in your perils. You are more than any Baggins deserves.”

Are my parents and I the assholes for insinuating that my aunt and uncle's dog should be put down?

I (21F) hate one of my aunt and uncle's current dogs. They rescue old racing dogs and have done for like 15 years now. Their first two dogs I loved. First one was a bitch in both senses of the word, but she was funny and well behaved when it was important. Second one was a true gentle giant and a lovely boy. The second pair they've adopted though are a nightmare.

Alice, the current bitch they have, has suffered some form of trauma in her past. There are three years missing from her medical history and she's got some scars, so we'll never know exactly what happened but something did. She's a very nervous dog. She can be a sweetie, and they were making progress with her until they got the new one. Alice, however, does what more dominant dogs around her do, which has become a problem.

Enter Blue. Blue is genuinely dangerous. Blue snaps with no previous warning and tries to kill things. My family all know about dogs, this isn't us misreading his body language, he is giving no warning then going for the throat. He's taken a particular dislike to mum (who is usually a bit of a dog whisperer) and has got her in the hand a few times. Blue also tries to kill any dog who doesn't share his breed. We were in a restaurant, sitting outside, Blue saw a Beagle and before any of us could do anything he'd pulled my uncle backwards off of his chair and dragged him towards this poor dog. My uncle is a big man, 6" and not thin, so you can imagine the strength it took for Blue to drag him like a doll (the Beagle and owner got away DW).

I've disliked Blue for a while, but what made me actually hate him was that, when my aunt and uncle came to see us just after our own elderly dog had passed, Blue walked into our sitting room and pissed on the carpet. He's house trained and has never done this before. I think he was doing it territorially because he could smell that our dog was dead. I've never wanted to kick an animal before, but I did then and had to excuse myself before I caused a scene.

Cut to yesterday. We were in the pub having a family meal. Blue is muzzled now in public after the last restaurant incident. There was a family sitting across the room from us with a very little girl, 3 or 4 years old I'd say. She was looking at Alice and trying to get her attention from across the room. As her mum got up to take her to the toilet, the girl pointed at our table and asked to see the dogs. Her mum asked us if it was okay. My aunt agreed. The little girl came over. Alice immediately hid under the table.

My aunt was like "ooh sorry, she's shy, why don't you say hello to Blue".

Blues head pops up. The mum sees he's wearing a muzzle and tries to pull her daughter away from him but the kid was too quick and went to pat him on the head. He was super chill with it, pressed into her palm like he wanted harder pets, then with no warning growl, no tensed up body language, nothing, just lunges for the kid.

Obviously she's terrified. The mum is terrified and pulls her away. My uncle grabs hold of Blue's leash and my aunt is ineffectually going "oh no blue bad boy" over and over. My parents jumped up to help the mum and the little girl. I grabbed Alice so she couldn't start copying Blue. We all got kicked out of the pub.

We were standing on the street outside when my parents and I started laying into my aunt about how irresponsible that was. She is like "he'll never become accustomed to humans if he's locked away". Dad shouted that he doesn't get to maul someone to learn that lesson. She scoffed and said he had the muzzle. I said it takes one piece of brittle plastic before he gets put down. My aunt told us all to fuck off and stormed off in the opposite direction. My uncle took Alice from me and followed her.

My aunt made a passive aggressive series of Facebook posts about how all dogs deserve care, and how everyone lashes out when exposed to trauma, then blocked mum (only Facebook user in our house).

I don't think we're the assholes, but I know I'm very biased, because I genuinely hate that dog and would be quite happy to hear it had moved on, whether that be to a different home or the afterlife, I'm not picky.

So awta?

What are these acronyms?

[aroaceleovaldez]

Any headcannons about Will Solace? he's an underrated bby (I think?) and I personally hc that he used to be a very moody kid but then decided to turn off all of his negaive emotions (most of the time)

oh i have SO many Will Solace headcanons built up from writing him on Deadangelos so much. Below the cut cause this is very long (and tumblr started glitching about the list format so manual it is):

- His roles at CHB are basically "Every possible medical personnel Ever™." He's camp medic, physician, surgeon, pediatrician, pharmacist, psychiatrist, therapist, dentist, optometrist, veterinarian, etc etc etc. Technically Chiron is also All Of That, but ever since Will joined camp most of the responsibility falls to him (at least in part because campers generally feel a bit more comfortable dealing with somebody their own age versus an immortal centaur), and Chiron just mentors him on it (unless they're running low on hands, in which case Chiron does pitch in, and sometimes the other Apollo kids help staff the infirmary if Will needs. In the past though it was usually just Chiron and whichever camper he pulled in that week to do first aid training with. Mr. D only really handles therapy stuff if Will isn't able to for one reason or another. Will gets very individualized training and has has own schedule separate from the rest of his cabin to account for all of that. Chiron basically personally took Will in under his wing as his apprentice and a not insignificant portion of Will's personal training is gross anatomy lessons with Chiron in the camp morgue. Will does not question where Chiron procures the cadavers for that. He probably should. They aren't campers. They are sometimes demigods, but not always. Most of the rest of camp doesn't even know there's a morgue, let alone that Will does gross anatomy dissection. It's not technically a camp "secret," Will isn't secret about it at all, but most campers treat it like it is and like to use it to try and spook new campers. The ones who find out about the gross anatomy portion and that there is exactly zero information about how Chiron is procuring cadavers are Mildly Concerned.

- Photokinesis and plague powers Will are both extremely fun. I love making him a son of Apollo Smintheus specifically and giving him pet rats and/or the ability to talk to rats and mice. He thinks they're soooo cute and is definitely the type to brag about how intelligent rats are. I also like to think he maybe had a pet snake at one point, like a big ol' boa. Will with a sunglow boa or something? yes? (I also just in general love the idea of Will's house back in Texas being a cute little ranch cause Naomi is rich and also a cowgirl and Will having a ton of different animals over the years. He probably originally wanted to be a veterinarian before he settled more on medic.)

- I just generally love playing with Will (not-so) subtly being the exact opposite of what people would expect from an Apollo kid. Initially he looks like the gold standard for an Apollo kid - sunny, friendly, chill, medic/healer, interest in science/arts/fandom, etc etc. Then you speak to him for more than 20 minutes and find out he loves snakes and rats and guts and gore and is fascinated by disease and mold. He takes gross anatomy classes taught by Chiron. One of his favorite hobbies is just dissecting stuff. He's into vulture culture. His idea of a perfect date is holding hands over a cadaver he is actively cutting into and passing the other person cool stuff he's fishing out. Also he's very vocal about thinking monsters are hot and the combo of all of that is exactly why he's into Nico. Everybody else thinks Nico's inherently cursed or something? Will doesn't mind being cursed - in fact he wants to be cursed, for science. He's swooning over the idea of Nico sacrificing him for some dark ritual in the middle of the night. He daydreams about Nico being a vampire that's gonna romantically kill him. The rest of camp is waiting for the day Will does something stupid and gets himself killed like, flirting with a monster (or the Hades kid) or something. Nico just generally doesn't know how to feel about the whole situation but is? (hesitantly) flattered?? that somebody is enthusiastic about him while recognizing and appreciating his Underworld aspects. Will is out-weirding him, somehow, and Nico never knew this was a thing that could happen.

- Related to that - I have a whole headcanon about "Bad Omen" demigods, which are basically the other main CHB cabin's versions of Hephaestus kids with fire powers being bad luck. For Apollo kids their "bad luck omen" super rare power is a plague-powers kid, and Will showed up during the Titan War, just a couple months before the Battle for Manhattan when nearly all his cabin died. He is very acutely aware of this superstition and fully believes he is a bad luck charm for the cabin and feels SUUUUPER guilty about it and so hides his plague powers. It's not that he feels bad about his plague powers specifically - he thinks plague stuff is really fascinating and his powers are cool and can be used for healing too! - he's just really concerned about how others will view him. (Very strong parallel dynamics between how Will views his plague powers vs the stigma around them & how Nico views his Underworld powers vs the stigma around them. They are handshake emoji).

- TTC implies that Apollo kids are more often than not summer-only campers, and I think it's fun to have Will's backstory being: He may or may not have "accidentally" caused a plague/pest outbreak at his old school early into the year and between that school having to shut down for a couple of months because of that and his mom maybe going on tour, they decided it was time for him to move to CHB and go there year-round. Except he goes from Texas to New York in the middle of winter and he's a son of Apollo, so he gets there and it's like sleet and slush and all cold and he's the only Apollo kid at camp and he hates it so bad. He eventually gets used to it but it is awkward when all his siblings come back in the spring/summer to find they have a new youngest sibling who's just been chilling all by himself for a couple of months. But then Austin and Kayla join so at least he's not the newest/youngest Apollo kid. (But then nearly all of Cabin 7 immediately dies in TLO and Will's right back to being in a mostly empty cabin and being in charge.)

- He definitely puts on an approachable/friendly, or at the very least calm, face 99% of the time, partially because it's expected of him and it's also maybe a little bit masking (it's a lot masking) cause he knows he can be a bit much. He is 100% the type of guy who feels like he has to solve all his problems himself and can't let anybody else know he has problems, and also that he has to help everybody else with their problems because that's his job, right? So he's constantly stressing himself out to the point of breakdown. He also half lives in the infirmary (which he totally has his own little office in) and he'll just shut himself in and spend like, a couple of days straight in there and probably not sleep. He's a workaholic just as bad as Nico and a total hypocrite about it/about overexerting one's self but he's working on it. Nico's too much of a take-no-shit kind of guy (and also him and Will are way too similar) so usually when Will nags Nico about that kind of thing it turns into Will looking in a mirror or Nico turning it back around on him and Will going "ah shit i need to take my own advice >:T"

- He's best friends with Drew Tanaka and he lets out his bitchy side when he's hanging out with her. they are bitching friends. they love to bitch. It's a great venting environment for him cause he knows Drew loves to hear him complain and talk shit so he can just let out all his pent-up frustrations and she'll just enthusiastically eat it all up. The two of them will gossip endlessly. Drew is mildly concerned about Will's romantic tastes though (again: monsters. cryptids. the Addams family. evils from the shadows. the guy from The Shape Of Water. Nico) and keeps trying to talk him out of flirting with things that might kill him. He does not listen to her.

- His only normal crush is Paolo but everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop about how Will could possibly be weird about this one (there's an ongoing camp bet with different theories). He also dated Drew for like, all of a week but they both decided they totally hated it and preferred to stay just besties (bonus points: That was what Drew considered as her passing the whole Aphrodite-kids-breaking-hearts thing. literally neither of them cared).

- I know his full name is William but it's really funny if he lies about that and his full name is actually Wilhelm, named after the scream.

- ...He is a Swiftie. He's been a Swiftie since he was younger back with like, OG-era country music Taylor Swift and he's just stuck with it.

- Trans!Will is fun and I love it lots. Drew helping him with transition stuff is also very near and dear to me.

- His crush on Nico originates from them meeting for the first time during the Battle for Manhattan. Nico's attempt at flirting with Percy misfired and hit Will instead lmao. Nico parts the Titan Army in cool thematic armor and with three gods in tow, says a dramatic one-liner, and then is super badass in battle and Will is head-over-heels for him immediately. He then proceeds to spend the next year obsessing over Nico and being tormented by Nico never being at camp and never being able to talk with him. Ergo why when Nico shows up in BoO, Will is immediately like "HOLD MY HANDS. THREE DAYS IN THE INFIRMARY. HANG OUT WITH ME PLEASEEEE-" (and that's why Will was under the assumption that Nico was actively avoiding people rather than being ostracized, cause he had heart-eyes tunnel vision). Him in BoO though really is just seeing his crush and losing all his cool.

- For some reason he is just an absolute magnet for chthonic demigods. Nico, Lou Ellen, Cecil (who i hc is a chthonic Hermes kid), etc etc. He thinks Underworld stuff is super cool though (again, see: Will being super into spooky/gory stuff/etc). Also all the ex-Titan army kids decided they were his personal body guards immediately after the war cause he was nice to them.

- He is a HUUUUGE nerd. Specifically a sci-fi and disney nerd. They're his hyperfixations (/special interests if you lean more autistic!Will) <3 His favorite franchises are Star Wars and Avatar (the blue one). He loves conceptual alien biology/ecology and could go on about it endlessly. He will also very enthusiastically infodump about Disney history (both the art/animation side and theme parks side) and other sci-fi series. Ask him about Doctor Who (you will be there for several hours).

- Will being a micro-celebrity cause of his mom is very fun to me. He's been on talk shows and stuff before cause people love how snarky this country star's kid is. He has an extremely popular Instagram and Austin uses him as clickbait in his Youtube videos extremely often (including forcing him to guest-star or do like react content and stuff) (Will is more than happy to indulge him though cause he finds it funny).

- I also love the idea that Will and Piper have actually known each other since they were little, from Tristan and Naomi meeting at some point and realizing they had kids the same age and encouraging them to be pen-pals. Once social media becomes more of a like, Proper Thing™ they become mutuals on Instagram but just use it to periodically send each other silly memes (Piper's instagram is private and basically all she uses it for is dm'ing people). It takes them a solid week of being at CHB together to realize "WAIT, YOU'RE THAT [PIPER/WILL]?!" One of their hobbies is going into the city and seeing if people will recognize them/if paparazzi will see them and making games out of it (who can ruin the most photos, what types of fake gossip can we get them trying to circulate, etc etc).

- I am a firm believer that Will is an extremely loud out-and-proud type of guy and has been for awhile (again see: him being a micro-celebrity) and he spearheads or runs a lot of pride stuff at CHB ever since he joined. If there is a pride parade/event at CHB he helps organize it. If there's a GSA club at CHB he is the head of it. He keeps pamphlets in the infirmary of queer educational material and guides to different identities and stuff and is very passionate about making people feel welcomed and comfortable. Because of this, when he found out Nico was from the 1930s and severely not up-to-date on terminology and stuff, he considered getting Nico up-to-date his greatest challenge yet. It was a personal quest for him. There was also definitely at least a week before that where Will thought Nico might be homophobic or something and was going "I CAN FIX HIM" before Nico managed to explain that no, he's... very supportive (muffled coughing coming from closet), he's just also extremely behind and doesn't know what any of those words mean, thanks. Will set up the most extensive queer crash course possible for him and poor Nico was just going "slow down please,,,," the entire time. Will gets him up mostly up to speed eventually. I just love Will being that type of guy who will start explaining misc queer history with citations at the drop of a hat. It is probably another hyperfixation of his.

- Will and Annabeth both consider Chiron an adoptive father-figure and joke about being siblings and which of them is the favorite child, cause they both know they're definitely Chiron's favorite campers. They both get him father's day cards/gifts.

Juno in "Pet Shelter"

My Writing Masterpost

Juno Collection Masterpost

Warnings: lightly BBU adjacent 

“And that’s about it,” finished Jack, leading the new volunteer back to the front desk. “Any questions?”

Daniel shrugged. “It seems simple enough. Feed the pets, give out meds, play time is two hours a day,” he rattled off.

Jack smiled. “Just about, yeah. Although some pets have dietary restrictions, so be careful with that. It’s all in their charts.”

“Right. Oh, do employees get to adopt from the shelter? Just curious.”

“Yup! There’s a waiting period of six months, though. In fact, I'll have officially adopted a kitty tomorrow. I’m really excited.” Jack beamed, proud.

“Kitty?”

“Oh,” waved off Jack, “it’s a term we use to describe personalities. ‘Kitties’ are shyer, quiet, more independent. ‘Pups’ are more energetic, playful, outgoing. You know the type.”

“Makes sense,” said Daniel. “I guess I’m more of a dog person, but, like, real dogs.”

“Fair,” nodded Jack. “Most people don’t want human pets, hence their rarity. I think there’s only one store in the county, and we’re the only shelter. Hey, since we have a couple hours, you want to meet my kitty?”

Jack pulled out a set of keys from the front desk drawer. “I’m thinking of calling him Juno. He’s really great, and I already love him.”

“Sure, why not?”

The two men turned back down the hall, passed the ‘employee only�� doors. 

“So how come Juno didn’t get adopted yet? I hear pets get adopted really quickly here.”

“Well… he’s got some medical stuff a lot of people don’t want to deal with.”

“Like what?”

Jack swung the keys around his finger.

“For one thing, he’s trans.”

Daniel shot him a look. 

“I know, I know,” Jack said, “but the reality is, that turns a lot of people off, in a manner of speaking. I don’t think it should matter, but it does. And although lots of pets like having sex, Juno has a severe aversion to anyone or anything near his vulva that isn’t himself and his menstrual cup.”

They reached another door at the end of the hall, and Jack flipped through the keys trying to find the right one.

“Usually that isn’t an issue; most people don’t care. Unfortunately, Juno also has an expensive diet. It’s either buy the pricey pet food, or cook for him. I don’t mind the cooking- I like cooking- but the combination of everything makes him pretty unlucky in the adoption department.”

Jack fit a key into the lock of a second door, which opened into a smaller hall with fewer stalls. 

An acidic smell hit them as soon as the door opened.

“Shit,” muttered Jack.

“That can’t be good,” agreed Daniel.

Jack jogged through the hall, and came to stop at a stall. A whine sounded from the poor pet inside.

“Hey, buddy,” cooed Jack, crouching down.

Daniel peered over his shoulder.

A pet was curled up in a far corner, stale vomit in a puddle on the opposite side. 

The pet had dark brown hair, and his eyes were screwed shut. He looked feverish, and he was trembling. His breathing was quick and shallow, and he had top surgery scars on his chest.

Daniel glanced at the sign on the wall.

Juno, it read. Owner: Pending.

“Did somebody give you the wrong food, honey?” Jack asked quietly as he unlocked the stall.

Juno whined again.

“Okay buddy, don’t worry.” Jack pulled out his phone and snapped a picture of the stall, pet and vomit and all. “I’ll take good care of you, I promise.”

Jack approached the shivering pet. “Take a look in his food bowl, would you?” he called over his shoulder.

Daniel looked inside. “It’s halfway empty.”

“Fuck,” muttered Jack. The pet whimpered. “Not you, sweetheart. You’re doing so good; making sure you didn’t get messy. There’s a good boy. You didn’t eat it all cause you figured it out, yeah? Such a smart kitty.” Jack pet the boy’s hair, and Juno leaned into his hand.

“Can you sit up for me?”

Jack helped the pet lean against the wall, his face tacky with tear tracks. “I know your tummy hurts, sweetheart, but just stay right there, okay?”

Jack pulled away and turned to Daniel. “Dump out the food in the trash,” he ordered. “Get a new bowl from storage, and fill it with the gluten-free bag. Make sure it’s a new bowl, or he’ll get sick again.”

“What about the water? Won’t that be contaminated?”

“Go ahead and take that to the sink. I’ll take care of getting him some liquid,” Jack said. “I need to brush his teeth anyway.”

They left the stall. “Not going to lock it?”

“He’s not going anywhere,” Jack said with a grim face. “He can’t move much when he has a reaction.”

Jack pulled out his phone, dialing a number as he went to the med cabinet.

He opened the cabinet, looking for the stock paste he kept on hand and the shelter-supplied disposable toothbrushes as the phone rang.

“Hello?”

“Hey boss, it’s Jack. One of the pets got fed an allergen again. Sent you some photos.”

“Dammit. Which one?”

Jack found the brushes. They were on the wrong shelf.

“Guess.”

His boss sighed. “And you’re sure it’s Ethan doing it?”

Jack switched his phone to the other shoulder as he filled a bottle with hot water.

“He hates me,” he complained, scooping a tablespoon of the stock paste into the bottle. “And he really wanted Juno. He was on food duty earlier. He’s trying to sabotage the adoption. You know, make him sick so he has to do a round of isolation.”

His boss sighed. “I’ll check the tapes.”

“Thanks. See you tomorrow.”

Jack shook the bottle until it was a dark brown and the paste had dissolved.

“Hey, Juno,” he said quietly, pulling open the door. “I’m back.”

Juno looked up at him with teary blue eyes. Poor thing.

“I got you a toothbrush, and that soup you like.” Jack set the bottle off the side, kneeling in front of him.

Juno opened his mouth, still weak and miserable, and Jack scrubbed the stomach acid off his teeth.

“You get to come home with me tomorrow,” he said, cupping the back of Juno’s head for support. “Won’t that be nice?”

Juno made an ‘mhm’ as soon as Jack was finished. 

Jack picked up the bottle. “Do you think you can hold it for me?”

Juno didn’t look very sure.

“Alright, that’s fine.” Jack unscrewed the cap, and held the soup to Juno’s mouth.

Juno took a couple of sips, and turned his head away. His stomach probably couldn’t handle much more.

“That’s okay. You're doing great.” He brushed Juno’s sweaty bangs away from his forehead. He wanted to give him a bath, get all that sweat off, but Juno probably wouldn’t appreciate that right now. “You wanna go to sleep?” 

The pet nodded, clearly exhausted. He must have been vomiting for hours.

Jack helped him lay down on his cot as Daniel came back.

“What's that?” he nodded towards the bottle.

“Stock,” Jack explained. “The salt and fluid is good for nausea and he needs the calories.”

Jack stroked Juno’s hair.

“He’ll be okay, right?”

“Yeah. He just needs to rest.”

___________________

Jack stirred the fried rice in the pan. It smelled great, and it was a new recipe. His aunt had recommended it, and she had Celiac disease just like Juno. 

Honestly, it wasn’t that hard to switch everything over to be gluten free. And it was worth it to keep his pet healthy.

Juno pressed himself against Jack’s back, his arms wrapping around Jack’s waist. He laid his head on Jack’s shoulder.

“Hey, bud. Ready to eat?”

“Mhm.”

Jack spooned two portions into bowls, and sat on the couch to eat.

Juno ate from his bowl with gusto, and Jack smiled as he watched. His kitty had put on a lot more weight, and the doctor was really pleased with his progress. 

Juno finished before he did, and got up onto the couch, shoving his head onto Jack’s lap.

Jack absent-mindedly carded a hand through his hair. It was so soft and wavy now that he had proper conditioner. 

He focused on the nape of Juno’s neck, just where he liked it, and Juno nuzzled into his thigh.

If Juno could purr like real cats, Jack knew he would.

He looked so much better: well-rested, well-fed, and with a handsome leather collar.

Adopting him was the best decision Jack had ever made.

[tf2yall]

who do the mercs have the best friendship with? why are they friends? etc

Here you are! Apparently the tl:dr of this is that Demo is everyone's best friend (as he should be lol)

Scout

Scout doesn't get on well with a lot of his team. He thinks most of them are boring old farts, besides Demo and Pyro. (Sniper is technically the closest to him in age, but he's an honorary old fart)

Demo gets "cool" status in Scout’s mind because he doesn't mind engaging in whatever nonsense Scout wants to get up to. He also has a lot of cool stories about Scotland and magic and weird mythological creatures and Scout could listen to him for hours.

If he's not hanging out with Demo, he's probably with Pyro. They draw together, watch TV, and read comics. It's also not uncommon to find Scout and Pyro huddled together, burning shit.

Scout also has a kind of brotherly bond with Sniper. They both go out of their way to be annoying little shits to each other (Scout will tease Sniper about looking like he's 40, Sniper will put giant spiders in his room, etc). They are close tho and are kinda ride or die about each other, despite the fact that they're constantly on each other's nerves

Soldier

Soldier gets along best with Demo. Specifically the other team's Demo. For some reason same team Soldier-Demo pairs never work out. They find each other boring?? Despite the fact that they're essentially carbon copies of each other?? Oh well...

Their mutual love of explosions and 'boys will be boys' vibes help them gel really well! They have a tendency to be really fucking stupid together but hey respawn exists and they're having fun so just let 'em be.

Because they're on opposite teams, their relationship is a bit different than the other friendships. When they're on the battlefield, the match is essential just one big friendly competition. They're always trying to one-up each other with new gear or who can wear the most ridiculous hat to work contests. They hang out a lot outside of work too, going fishing, to gun shows, alcohol tastings, and whatever else they happen to find fun at the moment.

On his own team, Soldier gets on best with Pyro. They're one of the few who has the patience to put up with him for long and he's made it his mission to instruct Pyro in the ways of a true American soldier! This usually means lighting things on fire and using Spy as target practice.

Pyro

Pyro is okay with pretty much everyone. They like Scout and Soldier's high energy. Demo shares their love of fire/explosives. Heavy can match their level of enjoyment at being on the front line destroying everything. Engineer and Medic like to ramble to them while they're working. And Spy lets them hang out in his smoking room when they're overstimulated or tired. He does get cranky if Pyro burns stuff tho

Sniper is absolutely deathly terrified of Pyro. Pyro knows this and thinks it's hilarious. They will go out of their way to freak Sniper out just cause they think it's funny. They have been yelled at (multiple times) for chasing poor Sniper up a tree with a flamethrower.

Pyro likes everyone but they're closest with Scout and Engineer. Scout occasionally brings them shit to burn just for fun. Medic and Engineer keep confiscating Pyro's lighters. Spy is an absolute nuisance tho and is absolutely thrilled to supply Pyro with more. Usually on the condition that Pyro will stare ominously at Sniper while flicking them on and off

Pyro likes to spend time with their friends, but only in small doses. They'll spend an hour or two with someone before going to hang out with someone else or just leaving to be alone for a while.

Demo

Demo is everyone's best friend/drinking buddy/confidante. He's just genuinely one of those guys that gets on with everyone and whom everyone likes.

He does spend a lot of time with Scout and he definitely views himself as kind of a mentor to him. He is, however, never going to trust Scout with any kind of explosive or flammable substance. Bad things happen when Scout has flammable things.

People seem to forget that Demo's smart? Like, you need to know a lot about chemical reactions to not blow yourself up. Spends a lot of time with Engie and Medic, bouncing ideas off each other. That being said, he is considerably less "mad scientist" than the other two and is more likely to dip when they start getting REALLY weirdly into it (ex: cutting engie's arm off for shits and giggles)

Likes to just drink and vibe with Sniper too. He's one of the few people Sniper actually likes

Heavy

Heavy and Medic get along great. I feel like that's a really obvious answer lol but its true. (Altho they may or may not be more than friends) They share a love of classical literature and old music, although Medic tends to get a little heated when they discuss the themes of their reading. Not uncommon for the bonesaw to come out.

Heavy is mostly a loner and is very introverted. He does have times where he enjoys loud noises and destruction and doing things as part of a team, but he always knows when he's pushing too far and he needs to step away. A lot of his energy is spent on the battlefield so he tends to pass most of his free time alone. (I seem to have given Heavy my autism oops)

Besides Medic, Heavy is closest with Spy. It's nice to talk to someone in his native language and Spy also shares his interests in things like chess and poetry.

Probably finds the louder members of his team (Scout, Soldier) too much sometimes and tries not to spend a lot of time with them if he's already stressed. Altho it's not like he hates them. If he's in a certain mood he will totally 100% blow up buildings with Soldier

Engineer

Close to all the members of his team in wildly differing ways. Some of them, like Sniper, he has a very chill workplace relationship with. Others he has a more familial relationship to

Has a tendency to keep an eye on Scout, sometimes unconsciously. Will notice if something's up with him and give him someone to talk to. Scout does eventually come to look up to him as a kind of fatherly figure. Spy has mixed feelings about this.

A very private, yet still sociable man. His teammates only really know superficial details about him. He's very easy to talk to and has definitely acquired enough blackmail to put the whole team out of business. It's a good thing he just straight up doesn't care.

The closest thing he has to a friend on the team is Medic. If you can call getting drunk and sawing off your arm on a whim fun friendship bonding behavior

Medic

Medic is friends with anyone who even vaguely humors him. You want to talk?? With him??? About medical things??? Congratulations, you're never ever getting rid of him.

Most people tend to find him off-putting and creepy and he pretends like it doesn't bother him, but it really kinda does. He spent a large portion of life not having any friends so he tends to get very very excited and into his friendships. Loves his job partly because he gets to ignore all known laws (like he's definitely committing war crimes lets be real here) but also because he finally found people who get him.

He vibes best with Heavy because Medic really needs someone to be a good listener to him. However, he also needs them to be smart or he'll get frustrated with them and just stop talking to them. He likes having someone to debate with and experiment on with

Second best is Engie because hey fellow mad scientist!! Look, Medic just wants someone he can talk to about the things that he loves. And what he loves happens to be crimes against humanity

Spy

This is going to sound really REALLY weird but like: it's Soldier. Now hear me out here. Spy has a hard time trusting people and believing that they're not up to something, so the perso he's automatically going to trust the most is the guy that's shit at lying and is too stupid to be hiding anything.

Like many members of the team, he's a loner and prefers to spend time by himself. Does like to spend time with Heavy tho. Fine wine and overly fancy conversation is a must. Spy likes to be a snob, what else can i say

He is not immune to Demo's powers of being everyone's best friend. Demo is Spy's go-to person to bitch to when the other team members are getting on his nerves.

Spy pretends like he's above childish pranks and petty revenge but he's not. He's really really not. Demo knows this. Demo encourages this. Demo is part of the reason why all of Scout’s socks mysteriously turned pink.

Sniper

Doesn't get on with Medic, Pyro, or Spy for various reasons. Has occasionally been known to have a coffee with Engie but the two don't really have a lot in common. Neither do him and Soldier.

Likes hanging out with Heavy a bit more than his other team members. They both have a shared love of hunting and guns, although that is where their similarities end.

Probably vibes best with Demo. Demo's chill enough to make Sniper relax and they have a similar sense of humor, so even if their hobbies don't match up sometimes, they still enjoy talking to each other. They like to sit outside and swap stories about their adventures, Demo's with weird mythical creatures, and Sniper's time in the outback.

It's a shame that he's terrified of Pyro because they really would get along :( They both love to display their friendship with parallel play and they both think weird bugs are really cool

[gaymerasmus]

hi!!! saw your request open!!! can I get medic and heavy with an s/o that has albinism and scars? sorry if it's so specific 👉👈

No worries! Thank you and I hope you like it :)

Heavy

Upon meeting you, he honestly didn't even realize it until you brought it up. Nothing bad he just isn't observant sometimes <3

He's super supportive though! Loves reassuring you if you ever feel insecure about your scars and skin. Despite being so reserved, he'll often take any chance he has to show you how beautiful he thinks you are

Don't expect any PDA or public anything for that matter, but in private he's constantly tracing your scars and admiring your complexion.

This guy just loves so hard all he wants to do is dote and admire <3

If you tell him you don't want that kind of attention he also has no problem giving you space. Be it silently reading next to you, leaving the base to give you room, or anything in-between really, he's very conscious of how comfortable you are most of the time.

If your scars cause you pain get ready for Even More Doting from this secret mama bear.

When you're willing to be more intimate, he'll rub lotion onto your shoulders and back. He quietly worships any piece of skin you choose to expose to him, so he's completely content with taking care of you while that happens.

Even when you're not comfortable with touch, he'll leave out things for you to use on your skin and encourages you to use them.

Tbh I think with him coming from the opposite of a desert in the middle of hot-as-balls Mexico or whatever he prefers staying indoors. Some may even say he's a bit of a homebody, but that doesn't stop him from having fun with you.

Loves doing "rainy day" activities with you when the sun is too much to deal with. Board games, arts and crafts, reading, movies; all things he absolutely adores. Especially when he gets to do them with you around <3.

Medic

Unlike Heavy, he notices basically right away. I mean. He's like a doctor and stuff so it's kind of What He Looks For All The Time.

However, he doesn't ever mention it until you do. It didn't seem to be killing you, so he doesn't really see the point in bringing it up.

He's also not as doting as his dear companion, but if you need help with anything he makes sure to be available.

It's not like he doesn't care, he's just a Very Busy Man and honestly kind of forgets about it sometimes.

And when he's not exactly available (typically around the same time he's elbow deep in his colleagues) he's always willing to direct you to whatever you need, or just support you with words.

Completely Drowns you in compliments and flirts, btw. He doesn't even check to see if people are around before he does it either. Just completely shameless line after line, anything to make you blush.

Obviously he leaves no question when it comes to the subject of taking care of your scars. When his hands are clean they're always on your body somewhere. He also loves tracing your scars, which usually accompanies the compliments he peppers your ears with.

He actively encourages you to show him every scar you have, and often rewards your boldness with gentle kisses to each one.

If you're comfortable with that, of course. If not he's just as happy watching them from afar while you go about your day.

Loves when you spend your day in his lab!! It's always nice to have company that isn't feathered, and he'll often end up explaining his experiments to you while you do your thing.

He keeps a drawer on his desk free for snacks so you don't have to leave to eat :)

He's secretly so clingy just don't tell him it's obvious <3

They are so :)). I think Medic acts like how Heavy would act if he had a little less shame, but they both love and support you. Medic has more fun with it since he's had more experience with these things and will probably poke fun at you if you don't kill him for it. I hope you liked this, I tried to keep the HC's related to the prompt but I trial off sometimes lol. Thank you again!!

Relationship Chart (Karada x Lola)

First to confess: Karada. Luis suggested to Karada that he confess first if he really wanted Lola to know how he feels.

First to apologize: Karada. Karada can be pretty stubborn and brainless, but when it comes to Lola, he'd quickly apologize after an argument cause he doesn't want her mad at him.

Most popular/charismatic: Lola. Though both of them are popular when it comes to the opposite sex, Lola's a lot more charming than Karada.

Best caregiver: Lola. Though Karada's pretty good when it comes to his health, if he got sick, he wouldn't know what to do. So, it falls on Lola to provide him with medical aid.

Does the cooking: Lola. Karada doesn't know how to work an oven or a stove to save his life. He usually eats out at Luis's restaurant or orders take-out. For an actual homecooked meal, you'll have to look to Lola.

Does the housework: Karada. Surprisingly, for a guy that doesn't know how to cook, Karada is pretty handy with a broom and a dustpan. Unlike his teammates, he's had to clean up his own messes for a long time since he lives alone without any hired help.

Speaks the most: Lola. Karada's profession doesn't exactly involve him opening his mouth to speak. And even if it did, Lola has him beat multiple times over.

The overprotective one: Karada. Though he can get a bit ridiculous with making sure his love is okay, Karada truly does wish to keep Lola safe. This is a trait he's had all his life, ever since he became friends with Luis in high school.

Designated driver: Lola. Karada has a car and a license, but he doesn't really drive unless he's going somewhere far. Any other time, he'd much rather jog/walk. Lola has plenty of driving experience, so she's the driver between the two.

Has good penmanship: Lola. Karada has the worst handwriting out of all the members of JST. This is kind of shocking considering he's used to giving out autographs. But still, Lola's handwriting is far better. Karada can't even write in cursive.

More relationship experience: Both. The both of them had numerous relationships, most of them one-night stands.

Subtle to changes: Karada. For a guy with not a lot of sense, Karada, surprisingly, notices a lot of things about people that others may miss. This is especially true with Lola, and he'd be the first to notice if something was going on with her.

The one who proposes: Neither. Truthfully, Karada would be the one to most likely propose, but if he and Lola did get married, what about their lives would change? They'd still be doing the exact same thing they've been doing since they got together. He'd marry her if she asked, but if not, he wouldn't ruin a good thing by proposing it.

[juniperhillpatient]

Best Azutara corruption arc idea? Just whatever you can come up with of off the top of your head, I guess, I've been thinking about deranged fictional characters a lot lately.

Ooh this is fun because usually I write like…. The opposite where Katara helps Azula become a better person 😂

Okay but you’re right deranged fictional characters ARE so valid.

I don’t want to do the obvious “oh if Azula was mistreated like in the comics Katara would feel for her & maybe this could lead to resentment toward Zuko & the gaang” thing because I’m sure it’s been done or at least talked about & it’s stale & requires taking the comics into consideration which - blegh.

So within canon let’s go post show ‘cause during the course of the show, neither Katara or Azula is budging on their worldview & goals.

But what if post war Azula is actually given the chance to heal, & becomes an advisor to Zuko?

Time passes, Katara marries Aang. Azula learns the error of her past imperialistic views & recognizes the need for change. However, it’s hard for Azula to accept Zuko as Firelord when she disagrees with many of his decisions & thinks she could do better. Katara is growing increasingly unhappy in her marriage with Aang - not because of any fault of Aang’s, they just got together young & Katara yearns to live her own life outside being the avatar’s wife. More importantly, Katara is an idealist & an action taker. As someone who used to be like that - intense about every cause & certain I could change the world - it burns you out fast in the real world which moves slowly & is filled with unfair systems. In the avatar world, it’s no different. Sure, things are better but Katara is frustrated with slow change & part of her unfairly starts to resent Zuko for not doing more.

This could go one of two ways, you can decide which you like more. I’m just brainstorming I’m never going to write this.

1. Azula manipulates Katara into helping her more & more to go behind Zuko’s back for various reasons - to make things happen, politically. Azula still has fairly different views than Katara politically but she’s easily able to lie & bend the truth & make Katara trust her. Maybe she specifically does a few things behind Zuko’s back to push ordinances Katara cares about. Maybe in this version Azula only ever pretended to learn the error of her ways & is still loyal to the old ways. She manipulates Katara & also they begin to have secret rendezvous. Katara feels bad for cheating on Aang but something about the passion between her & Azula is irresistible.

Version 2. Azula loses her sense of self without imperialism because she knows the old ways were wrong but she ALSO doesn’t like following Zuko & Aang. Katara has become more & more restless & is growing to feel increasing anarchist leanings. In this version, Katara corrupts a lost Azula & they become rebels together.

So, that’s what I have for canon verse!

Now, alternate universes? The possibilities are endless. NBC Hannibal AU with Azula as Hannibal & Katara as Will is something I know I’ve discussed with someone & I still freaking love that idea.

Or - I don’t want to spoil this amazing book if you haven’t read it but - Hunting Annabelle AU with Azula as Sean & Katara as Annabelle would be amazing. If you’re unfamiliar- stop reading if you don’t want spoilers - Sean has a manipulative mother who convinced him he has schizophrenia & puts him on medication to control him (Ozai). He does have violent tendencies & did kill a girl once but it’s not due to mental illness he’s just like that. Annabelle is a beautiful girl who Sean meets & falls for. She quickly goes missing & Sean is blamed. As it turns out, Annabelle faked her own disappearance & is playing mind games with Sean. Long story short Annabelle actually hunts killers & kills them. This could be Katara, maybe getting revenge for Kya. In the end, after a lot of fucked up mind games & almost killing each other, Sean & Annabelle go off to be in love & hunt killers & predators together. It’s a great book & I could 100% see an Azutara au.

Okay - last one. I think you said you don’t do gore so you probably haven’t seen Hostel 2. But Katara as Beth, the badass girl on vacation with her friends who just happens to be super rich & successful but doesn’t make a big deal. If you’re not familiar, the Hostel series premise is is that an elite organization of the filthy rich known as the Blood Hounds bid on tourists in Europe & have them kidnapped & taken to a facility where the rich person who “buys” them can do anything to them & kills them in the end. Axelle is a high up person in this elite organization & she helps lure the victims. She woos & flirts with Beth & makes Beth believe they have something only to lure Beth into being tortured. Axelle could be Azula. Beth eventually turns the tables & reveals herself to be filthy rich. She purchases the man torturing her & kills him, then leaves. Now, the movie ends with Beth finding Axelle & beheading her but it doesn’t have to go that way. In the AU, maybe due to their brief time as friends, Katara feels uncertain & hesitates before killing Azula. This is where things could get interesting & divert from the movie, but I’m not sure how.

Alright that is all I have for now thank you for the fun ask 🫡

[midisdying]

Ok. Hear me out!

ME3 Sleep deprived MShepard shenanigans and very brief Mshenko.

I had this idea for a long time now and I need to let it out. I haven't written anything in a while so you will have to excuse me poor writing skills...

I just wanted some fluff ok?!

AND IF THERE ISN'T NONE I'LL MAKE IT MYSELF!

also Happy late N7 day ppl!

_________________________________

It wasn't unusual to see Commander Shepard hanging around random areas of the Normandy. Talking to his crew or just doing paper work.

When asked why he wouldn't make use of his personal quarters he'd say it helped him stay focused and awake. The only thing he'd skip over was the amount of time he'd actually stay awake for. Like the time while still working for Cerberus, Shepard had stayed awake for three days in a row (against the very sound medical advice of Dr. Chakwas) before the Normandy's first touchdown on Tuachanka.

Nevertheless, Shepard knew his limit and upon reaching it he would head back to his quarters for a few hours of rest before repeating the cycle.

So to say that finding their CO passed out at one of the mess hall tables was a bit of a surprise to some of the lower rank crew members of the Normandy would be an understatement.

"He's been out for a while now, hasn't he?" Garuss asked, joining the little circle of some of the oldest members of the Normandy crew that had gathered around the table occupied by Shepard's slumped body. Others either actively avoiding or sending curious glances towards the group.

"I guess even that abomination couldn't keep him up at this point. Swear I saw him adding three tablespoons of coffee into that thing last night.” Kaidan said while taking a long, disgusted look at the cup standing not too far from Shepard's face.

"Good thing then that he has all those cybernetics, otherwise his heart might’ve stopped. Again." Joker mentioned sitting at the opposite side of the table.

"Should we do anything? Like wake him up? I can't imagine that this is the most comfortable sleeping position for humans.” Tali spoke up, turning her head towards Liara who just came up behind her.

"I suppose we could, but we could also get some markers, or if we're feeling especially mean-"

"Not if we don't want to get a biotic throw to the face as soon as he wakes up, we don't." Kaidan swiftly interrupted whatever Joker was about to suggest.

"Yeah, you'd know something about that, right? Cause you know, you almost shot him."

"You're never going to let that go, are you?" Kaidan looked back at Joker who was mildly amused by the major's irritation.

"Can we backtrack a bit? Why markers? What would we even do with them?" Garrus spoke up before the two could start anything else.

"I assume that Jeff and Major Alenko are talking about a form of a popular hazing prank done by humans in which the sleeping person, in most cases, has their face drawn on or covered with various usually viscous substances. Like toothpaste, soap, whipped cream, or glue.” Explained EDI.

There was a moment of silence where the non-human crew looked at eachother and then at the two awake humans in the room. Liara first broke the quiet atmosphere.

"That seems… incredibly childish."

"Yeah, it does." Garrus agreed then added "SO, where do we keep the markers?"

The asari turned her gaze towards the former C-Sec officer with a disappointed expression. "You can't be serious about this.”

"Come on, Liara, it'll boost morale." Garrus said trying to jokingly convince the asari into joining the mischief.

"Can we draw something nice, though?" asked Tali.

"You can draw whatever you want, Tali" Joker answered slowly standing up from the table.

"You're really going to let them do this, EDI?" Kaiden asked, making his voice a bit louder, even though he knew he didn't really need to.

"I am taking this as an opportunity to expand my knowledge on organic humor."

"Just no dicks, alright?" He said mainly looking at Joker in mild defeat.

For now Joker staggered over to the medbay to ask Dr. Chakwas about the markers, Tali and Garuss disappeared to ask about them in the crew’s quarters, and Liara went back to her room in search of something. Kaiden was left alone in the mess hall with his sleeping boyfriend.

He brought himself to sit in a chair closer to Shepard, looking over his relaxed form. It was a rare sight these days. Understandably, with what felt like the entire galaxy pushing down on the commanders shoulders. He slowly reached out to delicately caress Shapars cheek, to which he unconsciously leaned into the touch. Kaiden slightly startled that he accidentally woke up his lover retreated his hand but even after a minute of stillnes Shepard hasn't shifted. The only noticeable movement was his chest slightly rising and falling with every breath.

The major sat back for a moment taking in the sight before him then stood up taking the cup, containing the now cold, disgusting beverage, to dispose of it. He may love this man, but he definitely doesn't approve of his taste in coffee.

Three hours later Shepard woke up to a glass of water and a ration bar with a note from Kaidan, a blanket he saw laying on Liaras bed during one of their often talks, as well as a surprising amount of doodles on his face in blue, red, and black marker.

Xiao: Fainting HCS

FUCK. I FORGOT TO POST THIS EARLIER. AHHHH. I HAVE WORK IN LIKE 2 MINUTES SO I’LL BE BACK TO REPLY TO EVERYONE. 

Hey anon! So sorry it took me forever to finish writing this but good luck if you’re planning on pulling Xiao. I really wanted to finish writing this fic as an offering to the gacha gods that c1 xiao wants to bless me (even tho that’s not gonna happen). But good luck to everyone rolling today^^.

Disclaimer: I have not watch anything about Xiao because my hype can only take so much. This was written before 1.3. So if I get anything wrong or I’m missing something. That’s why.

---

Can I just say how far Xiao has come in my writing since the first part of the semi series? Sniff, feel like we’re making character development for a character that’s not even out yet. I can’t wait for mihoyo to take my HCS and rip them apart.

Xiao: Fainting HCS

Instant panic mode engaged. If you’ve ever doubted his adepti power of swiftness you’re about to be mistaken. He’s noticed that you seem a bit out of it but brushed it off as you being tired from your recent journey. If there was anything bothering you, you would tell him. But as he turned around to greet you back, it seems like time is slowing down for him. He sees how your eyes glazed over and become unfocused. The muscles in your body snap and you drop to the ground. He can feel his blood run cold as past memories that have been waiting to jump at him suddenly claw at him but he doesn’t even register them. He’s already running towards you.

He’s already caught you in his arms before you can even meet the wooden floor. His brain is racing as he quickly checks your pulse to make sure you didn’t suffer from a heart attack or a curse. He makes a quick search over your body to check for any injuries, he can already feel the red hot iron of anger fill his system at the thought of someone trying to take advantage of you or threaten you. He’s usually logical in these types of situations, even the death of Rex Lapis didn’t shock him this much, but he’s been battling his conflicting feelings ever since he met you. But now that he’s finally accepted you and himself, he wouldn’t know what to do if anything happened to you. His mind flashes to Guizhong before he shakes away the thought.

It doesn’t occur to him that you might be sick as he tries to shake you awake. Whatever teachings Guizhong and Morax have taught him fly out the window as he holds you so close to his chest, he’s pretty sure his grip on you is bruising. He knew mortal souls weren’t as strong as adepti and staying around one might cause sickness or even worse- death. Was this his fault? He can feel the drop in his stomach as he tries to reign in his emotions and powers, not here.

Verr almost screams when Xiao breaks the wooden ceilings and lands in front of her. She’s scared that there was a monster outbreak or something was wrong with Xiao before she notices your passed out form in his arms. As much as she likes to joke around and thinks your relationship with Xiao is cute, she knows that if anything came to seriously harm you she wouldn’t able to calm Xiao before he goes on a rampage. You mean so much to him and he hasn’t opened his heart to anyone except you.

She can tell he’s nearly past his breaking point as he looks at her with dilated eyes as he asks, no commands, her to help you. It’s such whiplash to her. Xiao’s always been polite and reserved that she almost forgets he used to be a demon slaying Yaksha, but this isn’t the time for her to worry about that. She quickly leads him to the backroom since there’s no way Xiao wouldn’t bite any hand that comes near you. Bless Verr’s heart since this isn’t the first time she’s had to handle Xiao’s outbreaks that she manages to save face and contact a doctor that was staying at the inn to look at you. She does feel a bit bad for the doctor who looks like he’s about to piss himself in fear as Xiao growls and watches the doctors every move with piercing yellow eyes.

Xiao is still wary when the doctor and Verr try to calm him down and examine you more closely, always flinching back whenever their hands get too close to you, letting out a dangerous hiss whenever there’s the slightest twitch of discomfort in your face when the doctor feels your heated forehead. As soon as the doctor concludes that you’ve been sick for the past few days and your body just needs to heal itself and recharge, the tension on Xiao’s shoulder loosens and the suffocating aura that’s been filling the room slowly filters out. Verr can’t help but sigh in relief but can’t bring herself to scold Xiao for breaking the inns roof as she watches him look over your form with worried eyes as he softly nudges your cheek. He’s still holding you but his grip has loosen slightly as he rests his forehead against yours. He breathes a sigh of relief as he rubs small circles in your hand. Xiao’s never been the most affectionate or shown to be the most caring but you’ve seriously scared him. She quietly leaves him be and closes the door as she begins to prepare to fix the damages.

Xiao never leaves your side as he waits for you to wake up. He can’t help but berate himself for not confronting you. The doctor said you would be fine but he can’t but imagine your body falling in a more violent scene. He quickly shakes those thoughts away as he paces around the room, sits besides you, then goes back to pacing. Usually he would go on a walk or beat his aggression out but he doesn’t want to leave you alone should you awake early.

Xiao doesn’t ramble about his day while you’re asleep, instead he just observes your features and the small movements you make to remind him that you’re okay. How your chest moves up and down as you breath or how your eyes sometimes scrunch in sleep. You’ve made him almost trip when you did it the first time since he thought you were waking up. He can’t help but think back to his fellow Yaksha’s and what they would say if they saw the way he was acting now.

Since his panic attack has mostly subsided he’s found himself growing more curious. He’s still worried about you but he’s managed to reason with himself that you’re okay, just sick which he’s going to scold you a bit for when you awake, so he softly brushes his fingers across your face. Before snatching his hand away in embarrassment. What the hell is he doing? Guizhong would slap him sideways if she saw him now. He huffs at himself as he deflates a little and rests his head on the bed beside your head. He’s patient. He will wait when your ready to wake up.

When you suddenly gain consciousness, it feels as if the entire world is weighing you down. You slowly blink open your eyes to see a worried Xiao hovering over you, his hands awkwardly in the air since he’s not sure if it’s okay to touch you.

“How are you feeling?” Xiao asks as his eyes dart all over the place before resting on your face. You’re still a bit out of it but you can tell he must have been really worried. You try to give him a small smile but with how scuffy you feel you can bet it’s not a pretty picture.

“Like I got slammed with one of Zhongli’s meteors,” you tried to laughed before coughing as Xiao quickly pressed a cup of water to your lips. Slowly letting you drink and calm down. 

“If you have time to make jokes then you’re alright” Xiao sighs before his features change slightly. His eyes glaze over in concern as a small frown appears. He really does look like a kicked kitten as he slumps over as the stress finally lifts as he feels your hand softly run through his hair.

“Sorry,” you say, he must have been so stressed out while you were passed out for him to look so exhausted. He simply nudges into your hand before turning his face to kiss your palm,

“There’s no need for apologies. I’m...just glad you’re okay,” Xiao mumbles before he’s back to pressing his head into your stomach. You can’t help but smile delicately as you reach over and bring Xiao up with you until he’s lying over you as you hug him gently. There’s a bit of shuffling before you’re able to spoon him as he let’s himself relax after the two day panic attack he just went through.

---

When you’ve fully recovered Xiao seems to hover around you a bit more. Well not a bit, a lot more, but no one has the heart to tell him that. It’s actually kind of adorable seeing the aloof and reserved adepti seem to follow you around like a loss duckling. Making sure you’re okay and you’re not overworking yourself. He still keeps his tough demeanor but you seriously gave him a big scare.

When Zhongli and Childe come over for their weekly visits of tea, they were aware that Xiao had locked himself in a room to watch over you and anyone that even stepped near the door would be skewered with a spear - and Verr would make them pay for the damages (Zhongli) and whatever consequences Xiao saw fit (Childe) - but they are happy to see you’re okay. You all fall back into your usual rhythm of conversation or Childe trying to get a rise out of Xiao while you and Zhongli talk about how lovely the weather’s been.

Zhongli let’s you in on some details that Xiao or Verr never mentioned while Childe and Xiao are fighting about who knows what. How Xiao wouldn’t leave your side or that he resembled a kicked kitten as he nudged your hand when he thought no one was looking. He offers you some medicine herbs to help with exhaustion and to take care of yourself. Likewise, to give Xiao some pain medication on his behalf. You’re one of the few good things in Xiao’s life and he doesn’t want anything bad happening to you.

---

Hmm. I didn’t mean to but I totally believe in the dad zhongli train and I think Zhongli basically just gave you his blessing? Maybe I’m thinking too hard on this haha.

Maybe this is better? Trying to figure out writing styles are hard. Either way, I’m never gonna end up kicking my paragraph HCS habit haha. If you couldn’t tell, I really like feral protective but lowkey vulnerable types (coughrazorcough). Xiao is so OOC at this point I don’t even know how to fix it. Please come home Xiao. 

(Edit: FUCK YEAH HE CAME HOME WITH DILUC. WE 90ED THIS BITCH AND IM ABOUT TO MAX HIS TALENTS. ILL SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL (since people have been asking) WHEN I GET BACK FROM WORK)

— literally bleeding :’) —

Synopsis: s/o when they’re on their period (or literally bleeding :>)

Warnings: mentions of blood (kinda?), and not proofread

Game/ fandom: twisted wonderland

Characters: jade, Leona, trey, vil, and Lilia

Pronouns for reader: gender neutral/ not mentioned

A/n: I am in pain :)

— jade —

Jade is no fool, he’ll know when your period is coming before you do.

Y/n: “jade… why are you giving me pads?”

Jade: “because your period is coming within the next 5 days :)”

Y/n: “how do you know that??????”

Jade: “I have it marked down on my calendar of course :)”

On his hikes he finds many many herbs, and some can even help you a bit! He didn’t really pick them because they weren’t mushrooms so he didn’t have much of an interest in them, nor a reason to collect them, but now he does :D

Having an especially bad day? Ok come to the mostro lounge, he’s almost done with his shift! There’ll even be tea waiting for you at your usual seat!

Jade doesn’t really mind your mood swings, and knows you don’t really mean anything your saying either. He’s lived with Floyd for his whole life, he knows how easily moods can shift, and how to handle it.

Not a very cuddly person but if you want, he’ll have all his attention on you. He wants to make sure you’re feeling alright, and he’ll do anything to make sure of it.

— Leona —

He’s on the very thin line of “refuses to even touch a pad/ tampon” and “doesn’t care”. He’s mostly just lazy… which we already knew.

Don’t ask him to pick up anything for you on his way back from class. Doesn’t matter if it’s something like pads/ tampons, or he’ll even just food that you’re craving, he’ll force ruggie to do it. Which means you’ll get a strange text from ruggie saying “what kinda pad do you need???“ and you confused as hell.

Probably very respectful, of like your space and everything. Some people can be clingy when on their periods while others just want to be left alone, and Leona understands that. If your extra touchy on your period then cool, Leona will cuddle you forever then, if you’re the opposite, Leona may be a bit pissy about it but he respects your space. Even if it does mean he can’t sleep as well at night without you.

He can be kind of a jerk with your mood swings but most of the time he just ends up walking away. If he does end up being a jerk, he’ll say something kind of out of line, that makes you walk away. He’ll apologize later, knowing neither of you meant anything you said.

The type to not care of you bleed really heavy and onto the bedsheets, or some kind of blanket, or piece of furniture. He probably even tells you not to he embarrassed by it, and that he’ll take care of it. (In reality someone else is gonna take care of it but you don’t have to know that)

Your cramps honestly give him an excuse to skip class I’m not gonna lie.

Y/n: “Leona you should be in class I’m literally fine I took some pain medication”

Leona: “what’s that you still have cramps? Dang guess I gotta skip 3rd period. It’s so hard being a good boyfriend.”

— trey —

The best. The absolute best. He is just… <3

Makes you pretty much anything you’re craving, gets you stuff from the store like more pads/ tampons, and he knows exactly what to get. Just, amazing <3

He’s educated too. His mom taught him right (probably) >:). But he definitely has at least a baseline amount of knowledge on a period, and what happens during a period.

Doenst care about your mood swings, just tries to get you to calm down if it gets really bad. He’ll he there for you, or he’ll give you your space. Whichever you prefer.

I honestly can see him being the guy who just takes one look at you and is like “ah yes I know exactly what they want.” Like???? Literal mind reader. (If you ask him about it he just responds like “oh because the wind picked up, and totally not because of the look on your face.”)

Trey: “you want to cuddle huh?”

Y/n: “how did you know-“

Trey: “oh cause it’s Tuesday.”

Y/n: “?????”

— vil —

Great… In his own way. Like he’ll tell you to rest, and take care of yourself, and yeah he’s got his own stuff ti do during the day so he’ll go do that. But when he comes back… judgement

Vil: “you look like you’re gonna pass out and die what’s wrong with you???”

Y/n: “I’m bleeding, and in immeasurable pain right now… I honestly feel like I’m gonna die.”

Vil: “wow that sucks.”

Very loving though :D. Just minor judgement. Gives you a ton of kisses though, and makes sure you just relax, have plenty of water, eat plenty (and healthy), and just overall take care of yourself. That is very important to vil :)

Will do any skin care routine for you if you’re too tired. Just brings you over to his bathroom, sits you on the counter, and does your skincare routine. Even if you’re dying from the inside out, you should at least maintain your skincare routine like c’mon now.

I feel like he’d try to keep things more lighthearted than usual. Like vil isn’t much of a guy to just joke around, like he knows when the time and place is appropriate. So, I feel as a way to… just make you laugh a bit, and take your mind off of things, he’d just make jokes (more so than usual) while you’re cuddling and watching a show. Commenting on the poor acting, or poorly written character, in a way that makes you smile a bit.

— Lilia —

Lilia isn’t stupid, he knows what to do. Does that necessarily mean he does it well? Mmmmm… no.

Kind of like vil I do that Lilia would try to lighten the mood and take your mind off of things a bit, with comedy. Wants you to feel comfortable, even if you literally don’t feel comfortable in your own body right now <3

Lilia: “I have survived wars… but nothing compares to this.”

Y/n: “I’m just on my period…?”

Tried to cook for you and is banned permanently from the kitchen because of it. Hey it’s not his fault you were craving something! (But it is his fault the dorm almost burned down.)

Very much is going to stay by your side, and be with you the whole time. He just wants to be there for you, and the only way this won’t happen is if you literally push him away cause you just wanna be left alone. He gets it yeah, but he’s gonna be a bit hurt :’)

Gets your pads/ tampons, but gets the wrong size/ brand/ whatever, and so your just there with the pads meant for a light flow, when it’s the day that you have the heaviest flow :’)

Masterlist - Series Masterlist (Resistance Jedi)

“Y/n?” Nima asks, finding you hiding in the corner of her medic section. She pulled curtains to give the area as much privacy as possible before turning to you again.

You looked like a mess. Your hair is tangled, eyes bloodshot, and skin pale. Your knees are pulled to your chest and your anxiously biting your nails.

Cautiously, Nima sits in the open space beside you. She doesn’t say anything at first but she does gently pull you hands from your mouth to keep you from hurting yourself. You let out an uneven breath before tiredly laying your head on her shoulder.

“What’s going on?” She asks, letting you seek whatever comfort you need from her. You sniffle.

“I made a mistake,” You whisper. “Fuck,” You curse screwing your eyes shut. “I fucked everything up,” Nima stay quiet for a few more minutes to try and figure out what you’re talking about. Nothing comes to mind.

“You don’t do anything without thinking it through,” Nima says and you scoff.

“I guess there’s a first time for everything then,” You grumble. “I really fucked up, Nima,” You tell her.

“You’re gonna have to tell me what’s going on if you want me to try and help,” Nima says softly. You breathe in deeply and take your head off her shoulder laying it on the wall behind you.

“Poe and I went out for a drink last night,” You mutter. Nima slowly nods. 

Ever since you decided to let Poe become a friend going out for drinks became a normal ordeal. Usually it was you, Poe and Nima with maybe a few of your squad members or Poe’s squad joining you. Last night, however, it was just you and Poe. It was nice. It was really nice... A little too nice.

The two of you joked, teased and even flirted. Flirting was easy for the two of you, especially once you loosened up around him. Everything was easy with Poe which never failed to surprise you. You were so used to fighting and struggling and pushing people away but being with Poe is as natural as breathing.

You couldn’t explain it. You were the serious Commander, he liked to goof off. You wanted to be promoted rank, all he wanted was Black Squad. You spent an obscene amount of time working and he spent every downtime relaxing as much as he could. He saw the light of the galaxy and all you saw was another mission, another war, another fight. You had similarities but other than that you were opposites.

“Dance with me,” Poe said completely out of the blue. It had taken you so off guard that you laughed. Just like every time you laughed he smiled. “Come on, I’m being serious. Come dance with me,”

“You want me to dance with you?” You ask him and he nods. Before you can think more about it he stands up and your eyes follow him. You don’t resist when he grabs you hand and pulls you from your seat.

“You know, not everything has to have a plan,” Poe says, spinning you around and pulling you into his arms. “It’s good to be spontaneous,” He tells you.

“I’ve never been much of a spontaneous person,” You tell him. He guides one of your hands to his shoulder while keeping the other one gently trapped in his. You step closer as he wraps his arm around your waist.

“Really? Coulda fooled me,” Poe teases sarcastically. You roll your eyes at him letting your head fall on his shoulder. “You’re much more pleasant when you’re relaxed,” He mutters. You purposely step on his foot causing him to chuckle.

“I’m pleasant all the time,” You grumble. He hums picking up the pace of the sway the two of you had set in. You tried to reign in your grin as you lifted your head to look at him but once you saw that stupid smile on his face you couldn’t help but to match it. “Let’s get another drink Fly Boy,” You say stepping from his embrace. You keep a hold of his hand and lead him to the bar.

When you reach the bar you lean against it expecting Poe to come up beside you but instead he presses himself into your back resting his hands on either side of you. You ignore the blush you feel coming to your cheeks as you order a couple of drinks before deciding to start on some shots.

“We ended up drinking a lot,” You tell Nima, holding your head in your hands. “I don’t remember everything,” You whisper but that’s a lie. You may have gotten shitfaced drunk but you didn’t black out and you didn’t have gaps in your memory.

You and Poe transitioned from drinking at the bar to dancing on the floor. Thankfully you weren’t the only ones dancing. As the night droned on you did a little less dancing and a little more stumbling which lead to the two of you clinging to each other.

One minute the two of you are laughing at nothing in particular and the next everything settles down. The song changes and the both of you stop swaying. You barely notice his hand grazing across your cheek in it’s journey to wrap around the back of your neck.

He doesn’t force you closer but you don’t resist when his hand applies steady pressure. Your eyes flutter closed a second before your lips meet his. Your hands fist his shirt as the world around you fades into nothing.

You vaguely remember the kiss getting a little too steamy for public. Once your lips touched it was just like a damn broke and the desperation was setting in. Neither of you felt close enough to the other. You were both loosing yourself and therefore forgetting where exactly you were.

“Get a room!” Snap yells from somewhere in the room. Neither of you wanted to pull away and you didn’t for a couple of minutes.

When your lips parted they barely moved a centimeter. You were still clutching his shirt and he continued to hold you close. When you looked into each other’s eyes, despite the haziness from the alcohol, you both were surprised by and aware of the turn of events.

“Wanna get out of here?” You ask. Poe’s eyebrows shot up. The look on his face was adorably innocent. You lifted one of your hands to his cheek. “Let’s get out of here,” You whisper and he nods.

Now, you will admit the journey from the bar to your private quarters was a bit of a blur. You knew neither of you were discrete and soon the whole compound would be buzzing with rumors. You were surprised Nima hadn’t heard one of them yet.

Every couple of steps from point A to point B were interrupted by one of you pushing the other against the nearest sturdy thing, whether that be a wall or even a fighter jet, and kissing the life out of the other.

The instant the door closed leaving you both in complete privacy the clothes began disappearing. A shirt here and some socks there. When you reached for his pants his hands stopped yours.

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” He asks, panting slightly. “I mean the drinking and then the kissing and you’re just now getting comfortable with me-”

“Shh,” You whisper, cupping his cheeks. “I want this,” You tell him.

“You want this now but what about tomorrow?” He asks. You smirk, pulling his head closer to yours.

“Well, that’s tomorrow’s problem,”

Well, tomorrow’s today and now it’s a problem. It shouldn’t have been a problem but your panicking made it one. When you woke up you awoke to Poe’s bare chest. Your head was pounding and you struggled to remember how the events of the night lead to Poe being naked in your bed. But the longer you thought on it the more you remembered. You’re one night of being spontaneous lead you to sleeping with Poe Dameron.

You weren’t ready to face how you were feeling and you certainly weren’t ready to talk about it with Poe. You didn’t bother cleaning yourself up. You threw on some clothes and tried to make it to Nima. Only when you were almost to her bunk your mother walked into your path. Horrified, you quickly changed course before she could see you. Then you ended up in the medical wing and you hid where Nima normally worked knowing she’d come to you.

While you waited all you could think about was what had happened. The touches, the smiles, and that mind blowing kiss which just lead to even crazier sex. You couldn’t stop thinking about everything and before you knew it you were crying.

You hated yourself. You hated how conflicted you felt. You loved what had happened and you wanted it to happen again. Only you fucked things up. You ran because you weren’t brave enough to stay and figure out if things we’re gonna turn out for the better instead of worse like you had thought. You knew letting Poe become your friend would be dangerous but now he was becoming more and it was scaring you.

“He’s in my bed right now,” You mutter. “Butt ass naked,”

Nima’s jaw drops. Literally.

“It’s about damn time,” Nima laughed. You shoot her a glare. “What? You cannot tell me you didn’t see this coming?” She gives you a look. “You two had sexual tension since the moment Leia introduced you two,” She smirks. “Only question is what are you doing here instead of laying in bed with Mr. Hotshot?” She asks.

“I ran away,” You said sighing dramatically. “I’m such a bitch,”

“Of course you are,” Nima says without hesitation. “It’s why we’re friends,” She says, nudging you. You give her a small smile. “But running away is a dick move,” She clarifies causing you both to laugh. “Do me a favor and don’t over think this one thing,” She says. “Poe is crazy about you… Hell, he’s gotta be to put up with you ass. You running off isn’t gonna scare him away if you let him know you’re still interested. Just tell him you had a moment and now you’re good. If you want this then let yourself have it. Let yourself have one happy thing in this galaxy that has nothing to do with the resistance or the war,” She begs.

“You really think I didn’t scare him away?” You ask vulnerably.

“Babes, if you didn’t scare him away when you lost your shit on him when he tried to go over your head in that training session a few month ago, he ain’t going nowhere,” She says. “Cause you were scary and he hardly batted an eye. Honey, ya’ll were made for each other if you ask me. You’re three parts controlled psycho and he’s one part rebellious cinnamon roll,” You laughed with her.

“He’s gonna have his hands full with me, isn’t he?” You ask and she scoffs.

“He might need to grow an extra one,” She teases and you grin.

“Oh, maker,” You groan. Nima glances at you. “I have to apologize,” You complain and she laughs.

“Yeah, I’m gonna need you to let me know how that goes,” She laughs.

“Hey, you know Poe isn’t the one good thing to happen to me, right?” You ask, looking at her. “I’d be a lot worse off without you,” She smiles and bumps her shoulder into yours.

“You’re not so bad yourself,” She says, winking at you before standing up. “Come on, I have to get to work and so do you,” She holds her hand out. You sigh and reluctantly take it. “Oh, Maker,”

“What?” You ask.

“You’re gonna have to walk through base looking freshly fucked,” She says. You cringe as you remember the state your in.

“As if the rumors aren’t already starting,” You grumble.

“Good luck,” She pats your back.

The walk back to your quarters was horrible. Everyone was staring and whispering but you kept your head down and kept walking. When you entered your room you froze.

“I thought you’d be gone,” You stupidly muttered. He scoffs and goes back to tying his shoes. “I-I didn’t mean it like that,” You added, closing the door behind you.

“I’ll be out of your hair in a second,” He says, keeping his gaze lowered.

“I don’t want that,” You say quickly. “I-I don’t want you to go,”

“Well, then what the fuck do you want?” He asks, his head snapping to you. “Last night you’re saying you want this and I wake up and see you gone. So, I’m a little unclear on what you actually want,” He states. You sigh sitting on the bed beside him.

“You scare me,” You tell him. “My heads been fucked up for years but when I’m with you I feel like the person I used to be and I liked them” You say, looking at her. “They was nice and full of hope and wonder. They was eager to learn and make all the friends in the world. This person, who I am without you…. They’re cold and secluded,”

“They’re not so bad,” Poe says. “I happen to like all of your personalities,” He teases. You grin looking down at your hands. “I don’t want to start anything with you if every time we advance you run away,” You glance at him. “I need to know you want this. You actually want this,”

“I do,” You nod. “I won’t run, I promise,” You whisper. He slowly nods. “I can’t promise I’m going to make this easy but I won’t run,”

“I don’t want easy, I just want you,” Poe whispers, leaning closer to you.

“You have me,” You whisper back. You lean closer wanting a kiss but he pulls back. You look at him confused.

“Did you seriously walk around looking like that?” He asks, his lips slowly pulling back into a smirk.

“Three parts crazy,” You whisper to him.

“And I want all of it,” He reassures you. “But you’re gonna have to attempt to run a brush through that hair before I can be seen with you. I have a reputation-“ You shut him up with a kiss. He grins pulling you onto the bed.

Whats up, can I have some slashers with a trans (ftm) s/o? Love your work! 😩

Slashers x Trans!Male!Reader | Headcanons

Thanks for the request and compliment, Anon! :) I really hope you enjoy these Headcanons! It's kind of funny, 'cause I started writing on them for myself two days ago, so this request was a delight! <3 Anyway, I hope you enjoy these and the Slashers I chose for them (I first wanted to write for all of the ones I write for, but I could only think of enough for these four, sorry - might do a follow-up with the others eventually, though)!

notes; Trans!Male!Reader (FtM); Mentions of Medical Transition; Mentions of Sex; Mentions of Periods; Gender Dysphoria; Reassurance; Emotional Hurt/Comfort; Body Worship.

Characters: Asa Emory/The Collector; Bubba Sawyer/Leatherface; Jesse Cromeans/Chromeskull; Lester Sinclair.

Asa Emory/The Collector

Has zero problems with it – why should he? You’re his favourite for a reason and this changes nothing (if anything, it only makes you more interesting to him), and he really doesn’t discriminate after all!

If you choose to medically transition and haven’t been able to do so yet, he’ll help you out any way he can – HRT? He’ll get the Testosterone and administer it for you. Top Surgery? He doesn’t want to fuck it up, so he instead gets you the best surgeon to perform it on you. Any additional medical procedures? Sure, he’ll be right here for you and make sure you get it all

Whenever you may get your period, he comforts you as best as he can, holding you close, giving you pain killers and heat pads for the cramps, assuring you that bleeding doesn’t make you less of a man at all

In case you desire to be sexually active with him, he makes sure you’re okay throughout – he doesn’t want to cause you to feel dysphoric, so he listens to whatever you have to say about what you prefer, what is good for you, what helps you enjoy it better, etc.

Really, despite his usual lack of empathy and ability to provide good comfort, he does his absolute best to accommodate you anyway – you’re precious to him and if he wants you to feel pain, he has to be the one inflicting it on you – not your own body and mind

Additionally he is surprisingly good at reassuring you whenever your dysphoria might kick your butt big time in general – if you let him, he’ll roam his hands over your body lovingly, almost mesmerised, and he’ll talk you through what he thinks of you and how much of a man you are, even if you may not be able to see it yourself all the time

Bubba Sawyer/Leatherface

Actually, Bubba understands you very well, since he is rather gender non-conforming anyway – to him, none of these things matter; and he especially doesn’t care what you may have been born as and what kind of genitals you have

He loves and supports you so much – he does everything in his power to make you feel comfortable and like the absolute king that you are to him

Whenever you doubt yourself, he tries his best to string the words together – no matter which way – to tell you that you are a real man and you’re so wonderful and he couldn’t be happier to have you as his boyfriend

Since he does sometimes get curious about sex, but is very unsure about it as is, he doesn’t even know how to bring it up to you – so if you do desire it, he is more than happy to let you take the lead and also show him how you can both make sure that you’re comfortable and not overly dysphoric during the act

If you get your period, he doesn’t really know what’s happening or how to provide for you at first, since he’s only ever lived with cis men at that point – but he grasps on quickly, when you instruct him thoroughly

That also means that he’s superb at comforting you whenever your bloody time is hitting you especially hard, he’ll hold you close in his strong arms and cuddle you and tells you just how wonderful of a man you are and how much he loves you

Jesse Cromeans/Chromeskull

This man is so supportive and loving, you’re in very good hands when you open up about it – he might not understand it entirely, sure, but he never questions your perception of it all

He is so proud of you for your transition (whatever that may look like for you, personally) and he is right there for you at every step of the way

Any expenses for it are covered by him, because he doesn’t want you to worry about the money at all, he just wants you to be happy – and he does have a lot of excess money, so he may well use it for something good for a change

If you ever need reassurance, because you may doubt yourself, get anxious, are having a very bad dysphoria day, or you have your period, he is making it his mission to assure you of what a great man you are – you’re gorgeous, you’re handsome, you’re manly and nothing could ever make him doubt that and neither should you

He types all these things into his phone so much faster than he does in general and it tells you just how deeply he believes in what he’s writing then

If you desire to have sex with him, you’re going to have a thorough conversation with him first, because he wants to be absolutely certain that you’re comfortable and that he knows exactly what’s okay and good for you and what isn’t – and really, it works out brilliantly

He basically worships your body whenever he can and sex is something he’ll definitely use to make sure every millimetre of your body has been appreciated by his eyes, lips, tongue and hands – you definitely can’t argue the fact that it does make you feel so much more secure in your identity

Lester Sinclair

“He’s a little confused, but he’s got the spirit”describes his whole experience with it to a T

At first he really doesn’t understand it very well and he might think you’re saying that you’re transitioning the opposite way, because to him you are a fully fledged man – but he realises his mistake eventually, of course

Just like the others, he is your No. 1 Supporter – he’d do anything for you as it is and he takes every chance he gets to show you just how serious he is about it

He loves you so much and nothing could ever change that; he keeps reassuring you if you need it and he always sneaks kisses and love confessions into it all

If you get your period – that’s definitely where he slips up again; he is confused and when he tries to get you sanitary protection for it, he just buys one box of everything he sees for it – it’s super endearing and you know he only meant well, and so an excess of supplies really isn’t anything bad

A similar scenario would also occur at the subject of sex, though – he asks you to lead and just tell him what to do, what’s okay, etc., but he is still somewhat confused when you take off your pants – sure, he understood by then that you were born with female anatomy, but he somehow forgot that over time anyway

Arcana Characters (Main 6) x MC

A/N: this one is for @staticvirtues! Just to make this clear, I am in no way a medical professional, and I have 0 experience dealing with hypochondria. I did some research, but I know that misinformation can be easily spread through the internet, so please don’t take any of these seriously. Also, if anything I say is blatantly wrong, please let me know so I can change is asap. This is a serious condition, and I don’t want to spread false information. Requests are open, and please let me know if there are any spelling or grammar mistakes!

❤️Julian❤️

As a doctor, he’s probably the most prepared to help you with your condition

He understands what hypochondria is before he meets you, so he picks up on the signs of it before you even tell him

He’s super understanding about it, and makes sure to never invalidate your feelings and anxieties

While he knows that professionally examining anything that you’re worried about every single time your worried is probably a bad choice, he’s also a softy and a pushover who will usually cave in and check anyway

If it’s not something that’s causing you major anxiety, though, he will try to refuse, even though he knows it can upset you

He genuinely isn’t trying to invalidate you; he just knows, from a medical perspective, that the chances of developing the issues you are worried you may have are incredibly low

If you’re someone who’s anxiety lessens with logic, he’d be more than happy to provide you with an abundance of facts to ease your find

He’s memorized dozens of statistics proving just how tiny the chances of developing a serious condition are

Not to mention, he’s quick to help you find medication to help you keep the anxieties lowered (and even if the first medication doesn’t work, he’ll keep trying to find you the right one that doesn’t have any negative side effects for as long as it takes)

He sometimes struggles to find a balance between helping you as a doctor, and helping you as your partner, but he’s trying his best to help you and show that he loves you unconditionally

🧡Portia🧡

Has absolutely no clue what hypochondria is, or how to help, so she’ll probably ask Julian

She doesn’t like doing anything that upsets you, but she also knows that enabling your anxieties is a good choice, so she usually tries to distract you

And by distract you, I mean the ultimate distractions, during which you will be so preoccupied by what’s happening that you won’t have a single brain cell to spare

If her distractions don’t work though, and your anxiety is too high to calm down, she’ll take you to Julian, who will check to make sure you’re alright

She’ll also help you find the right medication to help you out

Eventually, if you start going to Julian too often, she’ll have him give her a list of reassuring facts or statistics that she can pull out to reference

She also likes to point out that you’re magic, so being ill in any way is probably against some magic law, so you’ll probably never get sick because of that

Does she know anything about magic or its laws? No. Will that stop her from making up a bunch of universal rules to help you? No.

She doesn’t really know what she’s doing, and she often feels guilty because of that, but she’s trying her best every day to help you feel okay

💛Lucio💛

Also had no idea what hypochondria was before meeting you, but that was because he’s pretty much the opposite

He’s pretty much convinced that he’s immortal and nothing can harm him (despite literally dying of the plague before), and is also therefore convinced that the same logic applies to you

Will assure you that diseases are illegal in the palace, so you have nothing to worry about (no, he’s not dumb enough to actually believe that, but he likes the way it makes you laugh and seem a bit more relaxed)

Attempts to put more safety and cleanliness laws into affect to ensure you feel safer no matter where you are in Vesuvia

He’s the most likely to cave to your desires to see a doctor whenever you don’t feel well

Actually assigns you a personal doctor to help you whenever you need

He’s not a big fan of addressing the root of the problem, but he figures if it’s super easy to address the symptoms, then it should be fine

Your life in the palace is a comfortable one, and Lucio is dedicated to removing any triggers

Whenever you attend a social event, he makes sure all guests in attendance have a list of topics to avoid so they don’t accidentally trigger you

💚Muriel💚

While he doesn’t really understand your anxieties, he’s willing to help you manage them

He knows what it’s like to feel constantly uncomfortable and panicky— albeit around people— and he’s upset that you feel the same way about factors outside your control

Tries to learn some spells and makes some charms to provide health and protect against ailment

Makes sure you have a couple on hand at all times

He doesn’t really know that much about medicine and general health from a logical perspective, so if you really think you need to see a doctor, he will absolutely take you to one

But first he’ll always look for a more reasonable explanation for why you’re feeling a certain way

Like if you have any pains, he’ll ask if you tripped or bumped into something the other day, and if the answer is yes, then he’ll state that that’s the cause in a tone that leaves no room for any other possibilities

💙Asra💙

He’s known about your hypochondria for a long time, so reasonably he should know how to deal with it

However, after the plague, he’s a bit paranoid

Luckily, you don’t have to constantly visit a doctor, because he’s spent quite a lot of time learning how to make various potions and spells to heal and protect

The entire shop is covered in charms and runes that ward against any potential threats to your well-being

Furthermore, the connection you two share will often help him to recognize when something’s genuinely wrong

If it’s something you’re irrationally worrying about, he’s quick to tell you it’s not real, and seeing as he has a legitimate means of knowing, it’s easy to believe him

But if something is even slightly off, you won’t even have a chance to worry, because he’s using his magic to fix you up immediately

He’ll also regularly provide potions to help you with your anxiety if you don’t want, or can’t have, regular medication

Whatever makes you most comfortable; he’ll find a way to help you in the way you like best

💜Nadia💜

Finally, someone who actually knew what hypochondria was before you met her

She had had a phase in her earlier life wherein she learned everything she could about mental health, and psychology in general, as she found it to be an interesting and useful topic, so while her knowledge may be a bit outdated, it’s in abundance

She doesn’t want to restrict your access to a doctor in any way, but she also wants to lower your dependence on the validation of others to lower your anxieties

She compromises with the agreement that initially you will be able to see a doctor once a week at any time, and, eventually, the period of time will become larger as you become more comfortable

She makes sure you’re on a type of medication that you’re comfortable with, and asks that you tell her if you have any problems with it at any time

She also ensures the staff have a list of potential triggers to avoid when around you

The palace is incredibly safe and clean as is, but she makes sure to double down on any more ambiguous sections

If you have more general anxieties about how you’re living your day-to-day life with how it’ll affect you in the long-run, Nadia will find you a variety of professionals who will work with you until you’re comfortable with how you’re living your life without cutting out the more enjoyable parts
