#while keeping long-time gamers happy at the same time

[pianokantzart]

How likely do you think it is that Mario and Luigi Brothership has any sort of direct reference to the movie, and how would you feel if they actually did that?

I wouldn't bank on a direct reference, but I know that Nintendo and Illumination worked pretty close together on the film, with Shigeru Miyamoto himself acting as co-producer. Given the huge success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, I'm thinking Nintendo is taking measures to very subtly make the games and the film reflect each other.

What happened with the cover of Princess Peach Showtime comes to mind:

Say what you will about the design change in and of itself, but you can't deny that whatever happened there was influenced by the movie.

I think something similar (but much more subtle) might have happened here:

It's easy to see how that pose might have been based on that shot from the film, but it's also nothing so drastic that people who are only familiar with the games are going to feel out of the loop. Or perhaps it's just a coincidence. Who knows, really.

If there does end up being a direct reference to the movie in "Mario and Luigi: Brothership"? I'd be thrilled. The Super Mario Bros. Movie is the thing that got me hyperfixated in the first place, so I'm always going to be on board with references to it.

Authentic Story of the Shining Force - Saint Fencer Max - Chapter 4

Translation notes:

This is the last boob joke. We're free at last.

Here's the retranslation of every scene with the Spring of Recollection in the game. Overall, her speech here is fairly close to what she says in Waral in-game, with a few details from her final appearance sprinkled in, like her care for Cain. It does misses a few nuances though, like the Legacy being more than just Dark Dragon.

I don't think I've ever seen art of the Spring, but notably, she gets a portrait in the GBA version, and it looks a lot like the manga design, with the slightly wavy hair and especially the blank eyes.

Obviously, the manga rushes through the plot since it's short, thus a lot of places are skipped. I didn't even feel like pointing them out before. However I will point out Waral not being here this time, because Waral happens to not be in the beta map either, and it has very contradicting lore between the ASCII guide and the World Book, meaning it might have not been well developed. Besides, Chapter 5 is very weirdly structured. You get two ship battles that are basically the same, you get to Waral by accident, you advance the plot by going to Ring Reef for no reason and everyone telling you it's off-limits while letting you waltz in anyway, and hardly anything happens in the shrine besides you hearing about the Manual, which is not even a big deal because you get to Rudo by accident later (two ship accidents!! why repeat this plot point!!) and would go to Dragonia anyway to help Bleu. Basically, I obviously can't prove it, but it wouldn't surprise me if the ocean shrine was initially thought off as only a plot scene, and the battles/town added much later for gameplay reasons.

Perhaps worth mentioning, the GBA version also makes a point to mention that Max got lost in the shrine alone, and everyone was worried about him, which does remind me a lot of the ship scene here.

uh oh. i hit image limit for the first time and i don't wanna remove either of these pics. more notes on a reblog later.

_____

Aemond was her best friend. Admittedly, she first met his sister, Helaena. She invited her to their house one day for tea between their classes and that's when she found out that her brother passionately played the same online game as she did.

Walking down the corridor from the bathroom to Helaena's room she passed through the living room, while he was sitting comfortably on the couch, the green controller in his hand, completely focused on the TV screen. He was playing against one of the bosses with whom she had a problem for a long time.

She watched him play silently, not wanting to distract him. His character was twenty levels higher than hers, and she thought with amusement that he either had to play it all day or buy special extras.

"Fuck!" He cursed under his breath, one of the team members instead of hitting the monster hit his character, depriving him of several health points. "Fucking imbecile."

She couldn't help but giggle lightly at his words and he shuddered, noticing her at last, not knowing whether to look at the screen or at her. She walked over to him, holding up her hands.

"Keep going, play, I want to watch how you do it. I can't beat this boss." She said softly, sitting next to him on the couch, pulling her legs up to her buttocks.

She heard him swallow hard as if the sudden presence of a complete stranger had petrified him, but he kept playing.

She saw, watching his character's actions in the game that he was very experienced, while she was attacking the monster at the wrong time, too fast and thought that as soon as she got home she would try to defeat him again. After he was done she clapped her hands a few times, wanting to show him that she thought that he was playing very well.

"Congratulations! I've been struggling with this huge dragon for two weeks. At least now I know what I was doing wrong!” She said genuinely happy, saw him looking at her out of the corner of his eye, all tense, his jaw clenched, his eye looking at her uneasily.

She thought that she might be straining their hospitality and his comfort zone a bit, so she got up from the couch, smiling warmly at him.

"Good luck." She said lightly and turned to leave, but his low, cold, pleasant voice stopped her.

"If you tell me your nickname, I will help you pass this level." He said indifferently.

He wasn't looking at her, he was just switching to character equip mode, apparently preparing for another mission for which he needed different equipment. She smiled at his words and did as he asked.

She thought that it would be a one-time favor, but on private time Aemond offered to help her if she needed the support of a stronger character in the game again. In fact such help was always welcome, so she used his support very often.

Her character was an archer and his was a warrior, so all they needed was a healer. Criston, his friend, would usually come to help and they would go through fights with her that she couldn't win alone.

At some point they formed a good team, because she quickly caught up with them with so many wins. She started taking part in all new missions with them on a regular basis, even though that they could take someone with a higher level than her.

In addition to playing together, she and Aemond would often chat with each other after battles. Aemond advised her on what she could do to strengthen her character and at first they only talked about the game, then other things like movies, pop culture, books.

She loved these conversations, considered him a very intelligent and well-read man. He studied history at the National University, but she knew that he was ashamed of spending so much time in a fictional world.

am_666: I know that some might say it's a waste of time, that I could do so many other things, but it just relaxes me. Interpersonal and social contacts usually overwhelm me.

sunshine: Hehe, come on, you don't have to explain yourself to anyone! Some like to watch TV series, some like to draw, some like to play. I like it a lot myself, don't worry.

am_666: I noticed. Tomorrow me and Criston are playing at my place. Will you join us? I have a third controller.

She felt a pleasant warmth at his question and she shifted happily in her seat, a wide smile on her face as she texted him on her laptop.

sunshine: I'd love to! Sounds great!

The next day she actually came to him and she could finally meet Criston in person. She brought some snacks with her which they tossed into a bowl and then they played together until late, annoying his mother who wanted to watch some TV series.

From then on, Aemond often invited her over even when Criston couldn't come, he showed her his room, old board games from his childhood, posters and records of the bands he listened to.

He didn't talk much, but he seemed more and more relaxed in her company. She told herself that they were just friends, but she was getting worse and worse at pretending that she didn't feel this warm sensation between her thighs every time their shoulders touched on the couch.

One day, when he was home alone, he invited her to play with him. He asked if she would like to drink a beer and saw that he also bought flavored beers, which she knew that he didn't drink. She blushed at the thought that he had bought them especially for her and nodded.

They sat side by side as Aemond launched the game on the big screen, taking a loud gulp from his bottle. It was a hot summer day, so she was wearing nothing but shorts and a Lord of the Rings crop top. At first they just talked about the game, cursing, because the boss was really hard and kept respawning when they didn't have a chance to replenish their health points.

After the third defeat, they both sighed heavily, leaning back against the backrest. She sighed softly, her head buzzing pleasantly from the low-alcohol liquor that she'd just finished drinking. She didn't know what came over her, but drawn by some unfamiliar, warm feeling, she laid her head on his shoulder, tired.

"I don't think we'll make it. We have to wait for Criston." She said softly, feeling the pleasant scent of his perfume, the warmth of his body. She felt his whole body stiffen. He swallowed hard, looking ahead, taking another gulp from his second beer.

He only grunted in response, which was clearly meant as an acknowledgment. He often answered her only with grunts, but she thought with amusement that now he simply couldn't get the words out.

A strong shiver went through her as he gently placed his free hand on her thigh, his thumb stroking her skin slowly. She inhaled sharply, pressing her face against his neck.

"Do you want me to take my hand away?" He asked in a low, hesitant voice. She placed her hand on his bare forearm, running her fingers up and down, noticing that goosebumps had formed where she touched him.

"No." She whispered softly, feeling more wonderful than ever, her heart pounding like crazy.

She closed her eyes and buried her face into his neck as she felt his cheek rest against the top of her head, his hand massaging her down to her knee and up, to the fabric of her shorts. They sat side by side in silence for a few minutes, shivering slightly with excitement.

She smiled slightly and ran her nose down his neck, placing a light, innocent kiss on it. She felt him draw in a quick breath, his hand stopping and squeezing the skin of her thigh lightly. She heard him open his mouth, trying to calm himself.

She moaned softly as he turned suddenly, and after a moment his lips, swollen and hot, dug into hers, massaging and sucking her, his large hand grabbing her cheek, not letting her pull away. They began to caress each other's lips, clenching their hands in each other's hair, breaking away again and again with a wet, dirty click of saliva.

Both of them were breathing fast as she rose suddenly and straddled him, falling into his lap. He stared at her with disbelief and desire as she leaned over him and kissed him again, her pink, soft, fleshy tongue slid into his mouth, causing him to moan loudly in her throat.

They kissed, the tips of their tongues touching once in a while, his hands in the meantime timidly moved to her buttocks, slipping under the material of her shorts, tightening on her soft skin. She purred in delight at his caress, feeling his pulsating manhood beneath her, starting to rub against him.

He broke away from her, panting with her, involuntarily responding to her movements with his hips, filled with lust to the limit. He looked at her with slightly parted lips, swollen from kisses, as if he couldn't believe what was happening. He looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"I.. − God − you're so fucking cute −" He mumbled.

She smiled sweetly at his words, taking one of his hands in hers, lifting it up, tucking it under her shirt and pressing it against her soft, firm breast. He moaned low at the sensation, a strong shiver ran through him, she felt his cock completely hard. She had never wanted to do this so much with any man before.

"You too, you know that?" She whispered softly, her cheeks red with desire and embarrassment at how direct she was. She couldn't help herself. His shyness intrigued her even more. Involuntarily, her hands went down to the button of his pants, starting to undo it.

"Would you like to do it with me?" She asked quietly, timidly, lowering her lashes submissively, breathing unevenly with him, rubbing against him constantly, feeling that she was all wet. She heard him swallow loudly, terrified, his lips pressed into a thin line.

"− I − yes, of course I do − I just − fuck −" He mumbled, watching as she with a light, confident movement got to his boxers, exposing his throbbing, engorged manhood to her. She pursed her lips, blushing at the sight. They both gasped loudly as he watched her lift herself up a bit and pull her shorts down, leaving her naked from the waist down.

"I also really, really want it." She admitted softly, straddling him again, his hands tightening around her waist as he felt her wet womanhood begin to rub against his cock, lubricating it all over. He swallowed loudly.

"Do you − you know −" He asked in a slightly trembling voice, but she dug into his lips, kissing him greedily, rising slightly. He moaned helplessly as she gently took his cock in her hand and guided his tip towards her throbbing, hot entrance.

"I'm on birth control pills. It's okay." She whispered reassuringly. He exhaled loudly, panting helplessly with her, letting her do what she wanted with him.

She lowered herself a little against him, sliding him slightly inside her, and mewled sweetly, feeling how big he was. Aemond threw his head back, his fingers tightening on her soft hips. He opened his mouth, defeated.

"− Are you sure about that? − I mean − oh, fuck −" He moaned low as she lowered herself all the way, filling her hot insides with his throbbing cock, completely forgetting what he wanted to ask.

She placed her hands on his shoulders, rising and falling on top of him with a loud, wet, perverted slap that sent shivers down his spine. He thought that it was more wonderful than all the porn movies he had seen in his entire life.

"− Jesus Christ − you're so fucking tight − it barely fits −" He mumbled, closing his eyelid, completely drifting off into a world of his own pleasure.

She moaned sweetly at his words, throwing her head back, feeling his hands tighten on her hips, responding slowly to her every move with a thrust that sent her spasm of pleasure. She fall and rose faster and faster at such an angle that each time his cock rubbed her against her place of greatest pleasure. They panted together, staring at each other dumbfounded.

"− you're so wonderfully big − ah, this isn't the last time we do this, right? − Will you fuck me once in a while? −" She asked sweetly, almost innocently, and he moaned helplessly at her words, his whole body quivering, his hips quickened, their bodies slamming against each other loudly.

"− yeah, oh, fuck − I'll fuck your whenever you want, I swear − fuck, baby −" He panted, throwing his head back, an artery in his neck throbbing hard, his heart pounding like crazy. She began to fall on him faster and faster, his thrusts stronger, imposing a more intense pace that hardened her nipples.

"− yes, yes yes − God, Aemond, that's right, fuck me like that −" She sobbed, feeling her fulfillment coming closer, that just a few more thrusts and she would come. She heard his low, guttural groan at her words, his movements increasingly sloppy and chaotic, loud, both panting like animals.

"− such a sweet girl − fuck, I'm about to cum in you − can I? −" He mumbled, sweat dripping from his forehead, neither of them controlling their movements anymore, seeking only their own fulfillment. She tightened her hands on the material of the T-shirt on his shoulders, feeling that she couldn't hold it any longer.

" − yes, God, please, do it − oh fuck, Aemond! −" She moaned loudly and squeezed her eyes shut, throwing her head back, sobbing softly, dazed by the powerful, wonderful orgasm that surged through her body. She heard him groan in surprise, his body starting to tremble.

"− oh, yeah, baby − that's right, squeeze me like that − fuck! −" He panted, pressing his lips together, coming hard inside her, exhaling as if he felt an indescribable, miraculous relief. His hot semen spilled all over her, filling her whole.

She fell on top of him, cuddling up to him, her face pressed against her neck, her body trembling all over. He embraced her immediately, cradling her into him, pressing his nose to her hair, panting with her.

"I adore you." He whispered softly, his voice trembling all over. She smiled at his words, happy and fulfilled.

"I adore you too." She said softly, snuggling into him tighter, her lungs filled with the wonderful scent of his sweat and perfume. She could feel his heart pounding hard, his already soft cock throbbing once in a while inside her.

"Are you comfortable, sitting like this?" He asked, his voice still slightly trembling, lingeringly kissing her temple, pressing his forehead against hers, his hand caressing her back tenderly.

She nodded, and he just grunted softly as he kissed her again, this time on the cheek. They were silent for a moment, enjoying each other's closeness, slowly calming their breathing. She heard him clear his throat softly as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated.

"I − It was my first time, you know?" He whispered, embarrassed and ashamed, obviously trusting that she wouldn't laugh at him or judge him. She felt his body tense as he waited for her reaction.

She rose quickly, looking at him, taking his cheeks in her hands, worried.

"Why didn't you tell me? − I − oh gosh − we could take it slower, let you enjoy it more − I'm sorry −" She said, afraid that she might hurt him, spoil his first, such an important experience by focusing only on herself. He shook his head quickly, swallowing hard.

"No, I… − God, that was wonderful." He mumbled low, pressing his lips together as he looked at her. She pressed her forehead against his, squeezing her eyes shut.

"Next time we'll do it slower, okay? We won't rush it." She whispered and he grunted in satisfaction, slipping his large hand into her hair, pressing her face closer to him until her lips pressed against his, connecting in a sticky, hot kiss. He pulled away from her, his thumb brushing over her swollen, lower lip.

"Okay."

SFV Luke boyfriend headcanons (sfw + nsfw)

A/N: i was cleaning out my notes app and happened to find this. this was probably written sometime before sf6 came out, but i still agree with everything my past self wrote here tbh

TW: fem reader, very self indulgent hehehe, luke is submissive and inexperienced, experienced reader, oral (f)

sfw

V luke is young , naïve and just absolutely adorable overall

he would be such a cute boyfriend , but shy at the same time

he mostly likely has no experience with relationships, let alone girls in general, so bear with him please

he’s almost like an average teenage boy. messy and ignorant at times

with his father passing away so early in his life, he probably still enjoys letting his inner child out considering he was forced to mature quickly

v luke is just an absolute geek !

he collects comic books and plays tons of video games

luke also enjoys showing off his interests to you a ton

days off for the both of you would consist of you and him on his bed looking through his collection of comic books as he gives an in depth explanation of what it is

he’ll stop every once in a while to see if you’re even able to keep up or not

whether you do or don’t keep up, he won’t mind

he’s just happy that there’s somebody he can talk to about his interests

as for video games, he’s probably amazing at them

even if you’re not a gamer, he’d be more than welcome to show you thee basics of all his favourite games in hopes that you may like them

even if you don’t end up playing video games that much, he’d be more than happy if you sat with him while he played

similar to the comic books, he’d go in depth with the lore and gameplay of his favourite video game while you're around

you’d probably just giggle at him once he starts rambling

that’s when he stops and blushes most of the time

"heh… sorry about that, i was rambling, wasn’t i?"

just make sure to reassure him that you were only giggling over how adorable he is and he’ll turn completely red

he also loves to cuddle you at any moment he gets

either of you could be the big spoon , he won’t mind

he just loves being around you !

nsfw

this poor boy is a virgin, that’s for sure. as mentioned before, he’s very inexperienced. he’ll be very nervous , so try to ease him a little bit

it’s also quite clear he’d be more on the submissive side

one kiss and he’d be red as a tomato

you’d most likely have to initiate these sort of things

the first time you guys go at it, you take it slow and try to make it enjoyable for him

you’d kiss him all over, rub his crotch through his pants/boxers (which would drive him crazy). stroke his hair and tell him how good he is

for his first time , you would settle on riding him

he probably wouldn’t know what to do while just laying there, but it would be painfully obvious that he wanted to touch you

"don’t be shy, baby. you can touch me wherever you’d like” you continue to bounce on his cock slowly while making direct eye contact. luke would slowly move his (shaking) hands to rest on your waist as you’re still riding him

once luke gets his hands on you, he would start wandering around more to your breasts and such

no matter the size, he’s just in love with groping your boobs

unfortunately he doesn’t last too long (especially on his first time) and will embarrassingly say it's your fault for being "too hot"

however , after a few times , you introduce him to more things

let’s just say that teaching him how to eat you out was the best decision ever. luke still wants to make you feel good too , so he’ll feast on you down there until you confirm and tell him you’re satisfied

he’s definitely the type of guy to get pussy drunk after one sample

at first it started off as an experiment to see how comfortable he was with giving oral , but then it became something he enjoyed quite a lot

you’d find it so cute every time he ate you out. his cheeks and the tip of his ears are flushed pink while he’s between your legs

he’d be lightly panting over your pussy with his mouth open every once in a while

you’d stroke his hair and look straight at him , admiring how adorable he was as you’d pet him/stroke his hair

he would look up at you with puppy eyes and his lips still parted , showing a glimpse of his braces

don’t forget to praise the boy too ! he absolutely loves being called a ‘good boy’

calling him a good boy while he eats you out sets him off immediately

or just any dirty talk at all riles him up

oh lord … pls protect this boy <333

[thewritingmagician2022]

Helloooo can I request the brother reaction to mc cracking their bones when stretching? I do it quite often because I sit down for ages but it helps relieve tension so much.

I love your writing style as well! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Thank you so much for the compliment and the request - they both mean a lot to me!

I want to apologize because I know this isn't my best work for sure; I'm currently sick and I also hate joints cracking lmao but I hope you still enjoy.

Lucifer: Lucifer is like me where he’s going to cringe, just a little, and his eye may twitch. The sound of you cracking is so jarring and inelegant, especially to a demon who doesn’t have that problem. I can see it being one of those “ugh, do you have to make that sound?” kind of things for him and he’ll side eye you if you do it in public. You can definitely use this knowledge to intentionally annoy him if you want to. 

Mammon: Mammon hates it. The first time you did it, he thought you broke a bone and was subsequently in tears about how you managed to do that to yourself. Why are humans so breakable?! Once he realizes it doesn’t hurt you, he calms down a bit but he definitely still gets the ick out of sheer worry each time it happens in front of him.  However, he does delight in how much it bugs Lucifer and wishes he could crack his own knuckles to do the same. 

Levi: like Mammon, Levi was absolutely shook at first that you’d somehow busted your knuckles playing video games with him (that’s the first time he heard it was after a long gaming session) and all he could think about was how he didn’t know you were such a hardcore gamer being able to keep playing after that. Once he learns the truth, he basically ignores it. He lowkey wishes he could crack like that too because he’s always tense/tight from spending so much time sitting and you make it sound so relieving.

Satan: Satan finds it fascinating; he likes learning about all the little quirks of being human. He researches about the effects cracking joints can have and exactly why it happens. I imagine that he would ignore it for the most part once he’s used to it. He does like the idea of being able to crack his knuckles, especially in that threatening way they have in movies and books, so when you guys are arguing with people he may gesture to you to do it. It might not be as scary coming from a human but it’s still plenty intimidating to watch a human crack their knuckles and have Satan pop out at the cue. 

Asmo: Typically it’s an ick for Asmo. It just doesn’t sound cute, you know? You sound old and rickety and vulnerable, like all humans do. He'll mostly ignore it though he does scold you if you do intentionally. He’s that person who would believe the urban legend about it causing arthritis and will regularly remind you to be careful so you don’t end up broken or with messed up looking joints. 

Beel: Beel has a panic moment, like Mammon. He’s worried that you’ve injured yourself in some way and is immediately all over you, asking if you’re okay and what happened. It takes a while to explain to him that it’s just air trapped between joints and that clearing it out actually helps you feel better. After that, Beel is always happy to ask if you need help cracking. He’s nervous to go too hard and hurt you but he’s the kind of person who will pick you up to help your back crack. 

Belphie: Honestly, I imagine Belphie’s got a little bit of PTSD that flares up when he hears the cracking. It reminds him of when he murdered you and heard/felt all of your bones cracking. It’s really unfortunate and the first time it happens, he runs off and avoids you for a solid day or two because he can’t look at you without hearing the sound. He’ll look up ways to help your joints so it doesn’t happen as often and you have to be careful not to purposefully do it in front of him, even if you try to assure him that this is totally different and safe.

TELL ME ABOUT THE TALENTSWAP AU NOW!!!

OKAY, I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE FINALLY ASKED ME ABOUT THIS.

So, this Talentswap AU, it's like the average killing game

*Oh no, Celestia (the protag) got kidnapped and forced in a killing game with 15 other students. She finds Kiyo (the support), and they have to escape, waaaah*

To be honest, what inspired me to make this are Danganronpa V3 (I like how they have features like Scrum Debates, Argument Aranments, and Mass Panic Debates), and the Danganronpa: Another series

So, yeah, everyone's talents are swapped. If you click on the "Danganronpa: A Dice of Despair" tag, you can see everyone's designs and talents. So, what I mainly want to talk about are the characters, their talents, and their personalities, backstories, etc.

There will be a LOT of yapping below, so keep reading if you wanna

‼️‼️TRIGGER WARNING FOR MAJOR SPOILERS IN DANGANRONPA, DARK IMPLICATIONS, AND PERSONAL/SENSITIVE TOPICS‼️‼️

Celestia Ludenberg - Ultimate Lucky Student: So, in this AU, Celestia is the protagonist. She has a mix of her and Makoto's personalities. She can be cold and a douche at times, but she does care about everyone. Here, she has a mix of good luck and bad luck, but they both work at the same time... Somehow? Her real name is still Taeko Yasuhiro, and she made up her fake name to hide who she really is since her family has very dark secrets that could easily crumple her reputation if spilled. Hence why she also doesn't believe that she's really the Ultimate Lucky Student.

Korekiyo Shinguji - Ultimate Swordsman: Here, Kiyo is the support/deuteragonist. Celestia runs into him after escaping into the gym. In this AU, he's aloof, smart, but also starts showing kindness after a while. In Chapter One, he's the one to snap Celestia back to reality after she has her initial panic. He can come off as a bit hostile, but that's because growing up, he didn't have many friends as he spent most of his time training since his family are mostly famous warriors.

Sayaka Maizono - Ultimate Gambler: In this AU, she's more of an anti-hero then an antagonist. She's pretty rude and demanding, and she uses Kiibo to her advantage since he's the Ultimate Butler, and growing up, she had many butlers and maids to her aid whenever she needed them. Eventually, in Chapter Two, Sayaka starts to see that Celestia isn't a bad person, and starts to open up to her. Sayaka's cruel and sadistic personality stems from her childhood where her mother was killed by being burned, and her father basically abandoned her, so Celestia's really the only person she likes. Also, she ALWAYS wins every gambling match (Always? ALWAYS.) As well, she's a bit narcissistic, and thinks she's above everyone.

Byakuya Togami - Ultimate Gamer: Here, Byakuya is more of like an AI (like Chiaki), because his father wanted an heir, and none of his kids were "fit for it". So, Mr. Togami got a friend to create Byakuya. Though, Byakuya was never interested in the Togami Corporation, and took an interest in video games instead. He's a bit insensitive, but does mean well. He doesn't express much emotion, but is protective of the people he cares about, and he has a deep sense of justice. He knows his father doesn't love him, but as long as he has video games, he'll be happy.

Chiaki Nanami - Ultimate Pop Sensation: In this AU, Chiaki is a human. She's a lot more energetic then her game counterpart, and is like who she was in Danganronpa 3. Ever since she was a little girl, Chiaki had dreamed of being a famous star, despite her parents' wishes. She loves to write songs and sing with her group, even though after Chiaki gets trapped in the killing game, her girl group gets killed by the Ultimate Despair, which sends Chiaki into despair, though she masks it well. She'll write a song for everyone in the place, and she'll sing it as loud as she can. She's a great friend to have, like a golden retriever!

Gundham Tanaka - Ultimate Traditional Dancer: So, growing up, Gundham's home life was pretty bad. His family was VERY strict on what he ate, what he wore, and what he said. His house was near a street, and every afternoon, he would sneak there and feed all the tabby cats, making him gain their trust, and making him feel a sense of comfort. He's kind of an asshole in the AU, since he had a bad home life, and it left a huge mark on how he viewed people. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to warm up to anyone, as he's secretly scared they'll just use him, so he closes himself off, and he only trusts the tabby cats.

Hajime Hinata - Ultimate Inventor: Hajime's mother was rarely in the picture, causing him to develop a very close relationship with his father. When his father got ill and passed when Hajime was ten, he found all his father's unfinished inventions. Determined to finish them, Hajime worked for hours, nights even, to make his father proud. Hajime gets his vulgarity and bluntness from the highschool he was at before Hope's Peak Academy, since the crude and rudeness was basically the norm at where he was. Also, yes, Hajime is Izuru in this AU, though I'm still trying to figure out how to write that.

Mahiru Koizumi - Ultimate Astronaut: She's the Antagonist of the AU, so I probably should have placed her up way higher, but I'm too tired to change it. So, Mahiru's mother was an astronaut, and Mahiru has always been intrigued by space. In the village she lived at, she would tell the younger kids stories about space and amazing astronauts, forming a close bond with them. Unfortunately, a few months before Hope's Peak, Mahiru's village was burned down, leaving Mahiru homeless. When she saw the advertisement for Hope's Peak, she took it in a heartbeat. She's kind, a little naive, and protective to make sure she can keep everyone as safe as she can.

Mikan Tsumiki - Ultimate Pianist: School was a very tough time for Mikan, as she was always the targeting of bullying, though she felt safe in her music class. After a very traumatic event, Mikan basically clung to her piano, playing it every day, as many times as she could. She's shy, but also very determined and kind, and she's quite skilled at the other instruments other then piano! Which she personally finds to be very cool!

Nagito Komaeda - Ultimate Anthropologist: Nagito's house was very close to a library, so every day, after school, he would stop by the library and find a book. The ones about culture and evolution were the ones that intrigued him the most. He spent most of his childhood in the hospital, so the library was like a safe space for him. He's also aloof, but somewhat disturbing and also mature. He has to keep a close eye on Hajime, so he's basically Hajime's babysitter (lol).

Sonia Nevermind - Ultimate Detective: Sonia was always very smart, even as a young child, so she didn't have very many friends as she got frustrated by people who weren't as smart. One day, the detectives brought her in to see if she could help them with a case, and she solved it, pretty quickly. She can solve cases quicker then the average detective can. She's pretty quiet most of the time, but she also has a strong sense of justice, is no-nonsense and quick, and she really doesn't have as much empathy as she probably should.

Kaede Akamatsu - Ultimate Princess: So, Kaede is the princess of Japan, so she also has to follow strict and unfair rules. She often but heads with her parents since she wants to actually be her own person and not follow their rules. Her parents had arranged a marriage for her, and when she found out about this, she quickly signed up for Hope's Peak to escape this. She's kind, charming, curious, and always willing to learn. She may not give the best advice, but she tries her best!

Shuichi Saihara - Ultimate Artist: Shuichi here seems like your average Joe. He doesn't really talk highly of himself, and he just does art as a hobby, so he wasn't really expecting it to become his actual talent, lol. Despite all of this, he's fairly nice and pretty chill, but can also be pretty morbid due to the fact he was born and raised in an unusual church. No, he isn't religious. Also, he loves art, but he doesn't draw eyes when he draws people, as he finds it difficult to do (this will come in handy later).

Kirumi Tojo - Ultimate Magician: Growing up, Kirumi always loved magic. She was a street magician for a while before being allowed to enter a school that allowed her to embrace her interests. She's kind, energetic, and kooky since she had been seen as a "weird kid" by most people growing up. Despite this, she's incredibly loyal to those around her, and she can be scarily serious when she needs to.

Kiibo (Idabashi) - Ultimate Butler: So, in this AU, Kiibo is also human, so I will refer to him as Kiibo Idabashi. He always loved helping people, despite what they asked him to do. His father, Professor Idabashi, spent a lot of time on robotic engineers, so that led Kiibo to wander off... a LOT. He always enjoys to serve people, and he enjoys Celestia's company. He doesn't like Sayaka much though, as she uses him. There are also times where he feels empty, like a robot. Though, he's hardworking, devoted, and can take on even the hardest of tasks.

Rantaro Amami - Ultimate Photographer: Rantaro still has twelve sisters in this AU, and they always loved for him to take pictures of them, to where they would even ask him daily to take pictures of scenery they liked and outfits they liked. Rantaro found himself enjoying photography, even in the darkest of times. At first, he's bossy and a bit stubborn, but he eventually learns to trust his classmates and even befriends most of them. After that, he's kind, still a little stubborn and bossy, but more willing to hear others out. Also, him and Korekiyo become quite close very quickly!

I'm SO sorry that I talked more about the characters and their backstories then their roles!! I'll make a relationship chart of them in a post eventually. Also, this took a long while and isn't my usual content, so my bad! Also, if you read all of this, thank you 💕

[elleloquently]

i can’t explain how much i love your posts i-😭😭😭 they make me feel so safe and loved🥹

if u take requests, can i kindly request some headcanons with videogamer!ellie x reader!gf ?

thank u sm beauty!!💕💕💕💕💕

| a/n : i am so happy to hear that, that is so sweet!!! i'm so sorry this took so long, i'm rly behind on requests ): as a reader tho i adore this idea. modern au bc yay modern technology!

gamer!ellie with a reader!gf :

-having different interests definitely didn't keep either of you from spending time together. you would just do separate activities, together.

-if ellie was gaming you would always take the opportunity to read, and if you wanted to read then ellie would play something. you sorta correlated times that way someone wasn't feeling left out if you wanted to actively spend time together (ellie wouldn't want to see your pout when you saw her gaming while you were missing her lmao)

-if there was a game ellie was really into at the moment, she would def be guilty of surprising you with a book from your to read list so she could spend more time than usual playing ,,

-you are privy to her ways but you would certainly never complain about getting a new book !

-ellie always listens while you sit with your legs over her lap, ranting and raving about whichever book you're reading at the time.

-if you burn through books quickly she might get the side plots or characters mixed up, interrupting your rambles with a follow up question about a character that was definitely from like, three books ago.

"ellieeee," you would pretend to whine, though the look of interest crossed with confusion on her face made it difficult to stifle a giggle. "that was my last book, this one is different now."

"oh! right! but he did turn out to be bad, right?"

"yes. okay, anyway..."

-sometimes she gets distracted and loses or has to pause for awhile because she just likes . watching you. it's sweet, the way you look so peaceful with a book in your hands.

-ellie thinks it's funny when you mimic the facial expressions that you're reading about. rushes for her phone sometimes bc the faces you make while reading crack her tf up. you get so flustered when she shows you later but she absolutely adores the photos.

-especially if you're making an expression in regards to what is happening in the story. you're so quiet and ellie looks over to check on you, only to be met with your bewildered expression or a deep set frown. she'll pipe up and ask what's happening, grinning when you snap your book closed.

"oh my god," you start, leaning forward to clue her in.

-sometimes you find yourself rereading paragraphs over and over, finding it difficult to focus as your eyes wander to ellie instead.

-the look of concentration on her face... muttering and swearing under her breath... her hands.

!!!!!!!

-tugging ellie's hand in a book aisle at the store, pacing around the shelves with mumbles of "i promise i'm just looking, not buying any today"

-(ellie carries your books when you leave the store)

-displaying the same patience while she's browsing games, debating and comparing. you make sure to pay extra attention cause you love surprising her for special occasions.

-you try some of her games occasionally after much convincing on ellie's end. she's such a backseat gamer though and it ends with you either getting a lil grumpy or laughing too hard to take it seriously.

-she tries to find some low stakes, silly games so the two of you can play together. if there's a book you're really crazy about, you'll pass it on to ellie and she'll read it so you can have someone to discuss it with <3

Jumping out of bed and throwing on a random pair of sweatpants scattered on her floor in what y/n referred to as her “stress pile” of clothes, she ran down the hallway to the front door to check who she had kept waiting for over ten minutes. 

Much to her surprise it wasn’t one of her obnoxious friends waking her and her overnight guest up so early, but a shady one. Joshua. 

“Y/n? I know you’re here, I asked the front door man if he had seen you leave yet this morning? Hello?” 

And with a couple more knocks pounding in her brain, she swung the door open to reveal a smiling old friend holding a bouquet of wild flowers and a box of pastries. 

“Sorry. Hangover. Why are you here?” 

“Tomorrow is your birthday?” 

“Right. But, it's also 7:30 in the morning?” 

“I thought I’d come by today so I didn’t disrupt whatever plans you have tomorrow with Seokmin and Jun. That’s okay?” 

“Yeah.” 

“So.. Can I come in? Or do you not want to have a chocolate croissant?” 

“I do, but coffee! I’m out of coffee. Can we go get some? I can’t possibly have a pastry without it, silly.” 

“Yeah, of course. Mind if I use the bathroom?” 

“Why don’t you just use the-” 

In all of her attempts at protesting Joshua walking through her apartment and finding the boy hidden in the guest room, he still managed to somehow find a way in. Just like he was doing to her heart. She knew she shouldn’t even entertain the idea of spending a day with him and pretend that she has no idea the amount of blackmail he had a hand in, but a part of her couldn’t help it. 

In all her daze of thinking of the moral repercussions of his and her own actions. She didn’t even notice him slipping back by her side. As she rapidly texted the man she unnoticeably had hidden in the room down the hall it was his time to sneak out like a secret to be kept. 

“Ready?” 

“Uh, yeah. Let’s go.” 

“So, how was Wonwoo’s event?” 

“Well for starters I had no idea that gamers drank so hard, I felt like I was back in freshman year of college trying to keep up with drunk Soonyoung and you at those dumb ass Dream Boy parties you used to take me to.” 

“That hard, huh?” 

“Yeah, I haven’t drank like that in so long. It’s fun once and a while I guess.” 

Walking into the white walled coffee shop with Joshua felt like some sort of omen, but y/n couldn’t decide if it was a good one or a bad one just yet. 

If Joshua was honest about his play in the game with Mimi, maybe someday down the road she could forgive him and patch up their friendship one last time. But, the more he waited to say anything, the more he lied and kept his secret the less she even believed he’d own up to his actions. 

“What would you like?”

“Just a drip coffee please, large, no sugar or milk.” 

“Okay, I’ll pay.” 

“Wow. Thank you so much.” 

Sensing y/n’s sarcasm, he smiled and turned towards the register placing their matching order and grabbing the cups as he handed her the steaming cup of fresh coffee and made their way back to her apartment. 

Waiting to cross the street her front door opened, walking out was Minghao dressed in his same outfit from the night before, catching y/n’s eyes, as she quickly turned Joshua around to look at a dog passing by so Minghao could make his quick exit without any suspicion. 

When she was sure he made his exit and got out of the line of sight, with Joshua by her side they headed back up to her apartment, announcing she needed to go use the restroom fast and search the bedroom that once belonged to another untrustworthy friend. 

Under her laptop sitting on the desk, a small note was placed with just the corner of the purple sticky note sticking to the side. 

‘Swan, by midnight tonight you’ll be one year older. I hope another trip around the sun brings you peace of mind and the happiness you truly deserve. See you tomorrow, MH.” 

Placing the note under the cover of her laptop, she smiled to herself and decided now was the time to confront an elephant in the room. 

She walked back up to Joshua sitting on her couch, the plate of chocolate croissants placed on the glass coffee table, two cups of coffee on either side. 

“You okay?” 

“Yeah. Can I talk to you about something?” 

“Of course.” 

“I need you to listen to me, like really listen and don’t deflect. I need you to tell me how you got my journal to Mimi.” 

“I didn-”

“You did. I know it was you who took it, I just want to know why?” 

“Just listen. I didn’t take it to give it to Mimi. I actually took it before she even got back in touch with me. And I didn’t just stumble upon it on my own time. Minnie showed me it, she wanted me to know how much I hurt you and how you felt about me because you never told me. You kept all those cards so close to your chest, I felt like I had to read more. So, the night of Mingyu’s bar opening, I had Mimi over at my house after, we were just catching up, talking, nothing too serious, she had just moved back and needed somewhere to stay for the night. She was the one who found your journal and took it and concocted the entire plan.” 

“Why?” 

“Why what?” 

“I guess why didn’t you just tell me all of this at the beginning?” 

“I was just going to bring you your diary back and ask you out, I had feelings for you too. I still do. I eventually was going to tell you everything. But, it just got so complicated and the day I came over and saw Minghao here, I got so pissed off at you for trusting him after he hurt me, I figured he’d hurt you too.” 

“But he didn’t. You did.” 

“I know. I should’ve just told you the truth from the beginning, but I was scared to lose you.” 

“You already had lost me. How am I supposed to even believe a word you’re telling me right now?” 

“Because, I have proof. The only reason I even still talk to Mimi is to make sure she doesn’t go too far.” 

“Why did you fight with Minghao then?” 

“He pisses me off. Simple as that. I knew he had helped Mimi. I knew he was being deceitful to you as well, but so was I. It was just a matter of who owned up to it first.” 

“Alright. What else do you know?” 

“I know that Minnie is helping Mimi. They’ve been in contact with each other for quite some time, even before Mimi moved back. I can’t tell you why only because I genuinely have no clue. But, I have a feeling she's trying to hide something about herself and not exposing you.” 

“And Mingyu?” 

“No. He has nothing to do with it.” 

“Okay.” 

“Can I ask you something?” 

“Mhm, sure.” 

“Do you think we can ever get past this? Even if we just stay friends or see each other once and a while?” 

“If what you’re telling me is a hundred percent true, then I think we can. But, if I find out you’re lying to me, I will never speak to you again.” 

“I can show you the texts. Between me and Mimi, Minnie, Minghao. Anyone involved.” 

“Who sent me the bouquet? You right?” 

“Yeah. It was just a warning to be careful about the people around you.” 

“Okay. Well. Thanks for telling me, I guess.” 

“There’s something else.” 

“Uh, alright?” 

“Tonight. There’s a party at Mingyu’s bar that Minnie was throwing for your birthday. I came over here initially to invite you. They told me only you’re invited. No Seokmin, Jun, or anyone else.” 

“Why?” 

“They wanted me to take you as a surprise.” 

“My party is supposed to be tomorrow night?” 

“Yeah.” 

“So they have something planned for me and I feel like it’s safe to say it’s not good.” 

“I don’t know what it is, but it’s safe to assume that yeah.” 

“Okay, if you want to make it up to me. You’ll help me sneak Minghao and the dorks into the back of his restaurant.” 

“Yes.” 

“Call Jeonghan, tell him everything. Get him to cause a distraction so they can come inside. Text Minnie and ask if it’s okay you invite Seokmin to come with you and I. It's believable I wouldn’t go anywhere on my own without him and I’ll handle the rest.” 

“Are you going to tell me what the rest is?” 

“Yes, eventually.” 

“Okay, let’s hurry, we have about three hours until I’m supposed to bring you.” 

“What’s the dress code?” 

“Formal. It's some sort of mask party.” 

“Fuck.” 

“So you’re still friends with Hao?” 

“Yes, idiot. I heard you jiggle the doorknob this morning. Come on.”

Whatever the Fuck Benrey is: Chapter Five: Roomies

Chapter One

Previous Chapter

~

How powerful Benrey was had always fluctuated based off where he was and if he had enough power to imbue objects that could draw in more power for him – like the passports on Xen – but he’d always been consistently stronger in the Black Mesa facility. More so in certain parts of it but always even just entering should’ve given him a buff. Which was part of why he never made much of an effort towards resisting the people sent to bring him back. This time though the inside of the facility felt the exact same as the outside which had felt only slightly different from Tuefort.

That made sense though, didn’t it? He’d been the most powerful he’d ever been while in Xen. All connections to which were now closed and thus there was less Xen air or whatever floating around the facility to feed him. Maybe the scientists had used Xen energy to make him. Educated speculation but that and knowing he for sure had some kind of connection to Xen should be enough make Gordon happy, right?

He almost marched forward to share this discovery about himself right away. But he’d paused upon stepping off the elevator while the others continued forward, they hadn’t noticed he’d stopped yet. If he was going to sneak off to see how much of his gamer pad was still intact, now was the time to do it. It wasn’t part of the living area which made up most of the start of the facility and was what the Science Team were here to investigate, but it was still thankfully relatively close to the entrance. If one was willing and able to phase through a section of the ground to cut a big turn anyway which Benrey was. Phasing through thick sections always sucked because he couldn’t see but he’d long since imbued his Game Boy with some of his energy, allowing him to sense it and thus find the room with ease once close enough.

Except, while the entrance should’ve been close enough, he couldn’t sense it. Even upon walking further in and towards the rear wall, there was nothing. Something to do with his defeat in Xen when the passports had been blown up or had it been destroyed too? Or maybe his connection to it had been broken upon entering Xen. Well he’d made the trip through the ground enough times that he should still be able to do it. So, trusting the Science Team to keep Gordon safe – much of the danger seemed to be done anyway – Benrey headed off in that direction.

~

It took longer than it should’ve but he did eventually find what was left of his gamer pad. Which wasn’t much. Parts of the facility were less underground than others or full on above ground, making them more vulnerable to bombings which the US Military had employed in their attempts to wipe Black Mesa off the map. Just his luck, that the part of the facility he’d found a decent sized hidy-hole for his gamer pad was one such area.

Phasing through the rubble, Benrey did his best to look at everything, trying to find anything salvageable. None of it was though. All his stuff was destroyed. He couldn’t even blame Gordon or anyone else action could be taken against because it was the military that did it. If he had as much power as he had on Xen he could maybe do something but… even then probably not. What a massive fucking bummer.

Benrey shifted up to sit atop the rubble and mope. He stayed there like that until it got boring. At which point he started making his way back towards the Science Team, still moping though because it sucked and wasn’t fair. What kind of assholes destroyed a guy’s gamer pad like that? All in a failed attempt to stop an alien invasion too. An alien invasion that the scientists had stopped no thanks to the military trying to kill them too for knowing about it or whatever. The US military sucked.

By the time he made his way back to the Black Mesa’s living area, he was feeling a bit better. He’d been resigned to possibly not being able to come back to check anyway which would’ve meant he had no stuff also. Knowing it wasn’t just inaccessible but completely destroyed was still more aggravating though. Especially since he couldn’t do anything about it.

Once in the living area it didn’t take Benrey long to find the Science Team. They’d set up a in one of the areas meant to be a park, complete with now dying trees and grass. There were still bodies about here as well as the area as a whole but less than other areas of the facility. True to their mission, they’d found survivors. Whether Darnold was among them, Benrey didn’t get close enough to tell. Not because he was worried about possibly being recognized but because he was still moping about his lost gamer pad and thus wasn’t in the mood to talk to people right now.

Tommy eventually noticed him though and started approaching. He could’ve left before he got to Benrey’s bench but… it was Tommy, he was allowed. “You, uh… find your stuff?” he asked as sat next to Benrey. “That’s what we assumed you were doing anyway. Gordon was worried but I told him it was okay… probably anyway.”

“Yep, found my stuff but it got bombed so it’s all busted now. Sucks real hard. Got nothing left.” Not even his camera because he’d lost it on Xen after dying and reforming. Whatever was left of the backup in his gamer pad, he hadn’t been able to identify as such.

“Oh… um, sorry. We were pretty successful though. We found some survivors, including Administrator Breen. He’s uh… the big guy at Black Mesa, the boss.”

“I lived here my whole life, dude. I know who Breen is.” Benrey had even met him a few times. “He’s lame.”

“Oh, uh… I guess that makes sense, huh? We never talked about work stuff before though so I wasn’t sure if you knew him. But uh… anyway, because of that, we’re getting paid triple overtime for the whole week. Gordon negotiated it with help from Bubby.”

“Bubby’s getting paid too then?” Wasn’t he in the same boat as Benrey in terms of being a science experiment?

“Yep. He uh… he started refusing to work a while ago apparently until they made him a bank account and started paying him. So he’s been an employee for a some time, meaning um, he gets paid too. We could uh… try to do the same for you. Gordon said not to mention you to anyone in case they wanna try to contain you again. He said the same for Bubby too though but then Bubby got bored of hiding and came out anyway. He threatened to set anyone on fire who tried to put him back in his tube. No one wanted to test him.”

Benrey would’ve assumed Gordon would’ve wanted to unload him onto someone as soon as possible. The fact that he’d specifically said to keep Benrey a secret instead was even more surprising. What was Benrey supposed to do with that revelation? … Maybe nothing because he could go over there and demand to be included in that payout. It had to at least be enough to get a PS3 and a couple games, right? But… what if they weren’t as willing to let him get away with it as they had Bubby? What if the rest of the Science Team weren’t willing to go so far as to back him up in such a move? Tommy would but the rest of them, probably not. If it could be said he was back on their good side at all, it was barely. So it might not be worth trying.

Not that he was scared of revealing himself and thus risk losing his newfound freedom. It was just, without the buff he normally got in the facility and with his gamer pad gone, it would be more boring in here than out there. And the whole confrontation would be annoying. He didn’t want to put up with it.

He tore his gaze off the group in the distance and returned it to Tommy, sitting next to him and smiling. “Nah, I uh… don’t need their money. You have any luck with your stuff?”

“Oh, uh, yeah. The area’s surprisingly not too damaged. All my Beyblades are intact and most of my OSHA manuals too. … A few of them got gooed by… by a zombie or something. Gordon made me throw those away but he promised to buy me new ones as soon as he can.”

Benrey was maybe a little jealous but Tommy and everyone else having all their stuff busted too would’ve been a bummer.

“Um… sorry again about your stuff. I should probably go back over there before they start to miss me. I’ll uh… be quiet about you, quieter than a mouse in a house but I’ll try to let the rest of the Science Team know you made it back safely. In the meantime you might wanna… disguise yourself a bit, just in case anyone else notices you and that you’re not um… you know, human.” With that, Tommy stood and started back for the group.

With a sigh, Benrey shifted not just his hand this time but all his visible skin to match Gordon’s. Having a non-human skin colour was more fun but it did more easily mark him. He changed his eyes and teeth too, making them as close to human as he could. Anyone who took a really close look at him would likely still tell that something was off but not many people bothered looking that closely. Trying to hide as a human was lame and boring but sometimes there was good cause to.

***

The temptation to tattle on Benrey became much stronger with Tommy’s whispered news of his return. Doing so was literally one of the reasons Gordon had started thinking about making this trip. A glance over revealed that he was indeed settled in on one of the out of the way benches. Chances were most, if not all of the scientists in charge of him were dead so tattling on him would perhaps get little more than a ‘not my problem’. Even Breen, as head of Black Mesa couldn’t be intimately involved in every experiment and thus might not know a whole lot about Benrey and thus might not care much. But most of the survivors were scientists and thus not being familiar with Benrey but knowing he wasn’t human might make them even more interested in getting him back into Black Mesa custody. And if Gordon told them they should contain Benrey, they’d probably listen.

If they’d come here even just yesterday, Gordon would’ve tattled immediately. Benrey was dangerous and annoying, containing him again would surely be best for everyone. But… Benrey had spent his whole life as Black Mesa’s science experiment, was possibly even made in the lab. That wasn’t right.

And, on a more personal level, Benrey had played video games with Gordon yesterday. Woke him from a nightmare before offering to give him his hand. Even if it would grow back and not hurt him much, that was still a fairly big offer, right? Then he’d sat and watched Gordon play games for the rest of the night, keeping him company, before apparently letting him sleep on his shoulder on the ride down here. To top it all off, even with the betrayal and fight at the end, Benrey had traveled with the group for a lot of their journey through Black Mesa. They’d been through a lot together.

With those thoughts swirling through his head, Gordon of course eventually made his way over to Benrey. “Hey,” he said in way of greeting upon reaching him.

“Yo.” Benrey looked up at Gordon from where he’d lain down on the bench, his head resting at an awkward angle on the metal handrail. Just seeing it made Gordon’s neck twinge in sympathy because how was that not painfully uncomfortable? He’d also changed his appearance to something more human, probably wise. What were the limits of his shape shifting? Would it be rude to ask? Now, when they were trying to keep what he was secret, probably wasn’t a good time to regardless.

“Tommy told me you couldn’t recover any of your stuff.”

“It got bombed. Fucking assholes.”

“Yeah, fuck the US military, they suck.” Such had always been the case but after this, dislike for them was now personal. “But, uh… in addition to getting paid a bunch for the last like week, if I stay with the company, I’m bound to get a massive promotion and raise. Which means I should have enough money to maybe get a...”

“A Play Station 3?” Benrey interrupted, sitting up. “You’ll buy me a PS3?”

“More like I’ll buy myself a Play Station and let you play on it.” Meaning Gordon was basically committing to keeping Benrey around. That was better than letting him run wild and do who knows what harm to society. The only other way to stop that would be to work with the other scientists to contain him again and that… was also not an option. Somehow the temptation to tattle had died upon coming over and talking to him. “You gotta agree to behave though, no more killing people or… or birds or anything else alive, got it?”

“Yeah, yeah, gotta play by your dumb rules ‘cause I’m broke and have no authority. But you really wanna keep working for Black Mesa? I mean, this place sucks pretty bad now, right?”

“Well, I don’t wanna work in this facility anymore. And I don’t want anything to do with aliens or anything that would require me to wear a HEV suit again. But normal science stuff in a normal lab, I’d be down for that. I’m only twenty-seven so I’m not ready to retire yet.” And not working would give him too much time to think. He couldn’t pretend the resonance cascade and its fallout hadn’t happened but he could avoid thinking about it so much he ended up descending into a panic spiral.

“Guess that makes sense. But you letting me play your Play Station means we’re gonna stay roomies even when you move outta the hotel?”

“Yep.” The polite thing to do would be to add, ‘if you’re okay with that,’ but keeping Benrey from causing chaos was apparently solely his responsibility now – the rest of the Science Team might help but that was questionable thanks to their own potential to cause chaos that he would also have to try to prevent – so remaining ‘roomies’ was non-negotiable. It’d be like having a dangerous animal, such as a chimp or a grizzly bear, as a pet, so maybe not the smartest idea he’d ever had. But as long as Benrey continued to be easily occupied by video games, it would probably be fine.

“Awesome.” And he was apparently pleased with the arrangement, increasing the chances that it would indeed turn out fine.

Now that things were settled and they seemed to be getting along better and Benrey knew Gordon’s lost hand wasn’t a funny joke, it maybe wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. Heck, given that Benrey was an alien, creature hitherto unknown to humans, or a lab grown monster, it might even be fun. No longer being in a life or death scenario brought with it the return of Gordon’s general scientific curiosity and Benrey had certainly proven himself to be very interesting from a scientific point of view. Being able to study him – ethically, no poking or prodding, mostly just observing – was a good opportunity. And even if Benrey wasn’t the best and could be actively annoying at times, he could at least distract from worse things. So staying roomies was probably the best possible scenario.

Chapter Six

[specksizedgoddess]

Finally, FINALLY I'm writing again- Bit of context: this one is kind of a personal fantasy of mine- VERY self indulgent :3

This one is a bit shorter, just an introduction to the characters-

THIS STORY CONTAINS: Disgusting NEET girls, a tiny girl who is FAR too eager to serve, lesbians

"Are you gonna stare all day, or what?"

The tiny girl's focus was broken, trying to stammer out and apology as her owner glanced down, baggy eyes narrowing in on her tiny frame. Sitting awkwardly against an empty energy drink can, the little woman barely measured up to an inch tall- probably less, to be honest. She had been so focused on her game she didn't even notice the little slut staring at her with that same dumb, awe-struck expression.

"S- sorry goddess!"

The gamer took a sharp breath inward- god, it felt good... when she had first found the little lesbian, she had jokingly mentioned how she was like a god to her... the past week had been a blur of praise and worship, and she had to admit... being called goddess felt good.

The tiny girl's breath caught a little as she bit her lip... god, she adored her owner. She adored her goddess... in reality, her "deity" was a disgusting, barely functioning NEET who spent more time in her gaming chair then anywhere else... her room was BLANKETED in her scent, a cocktail of sweat, musk, gas and rancid smells that had built up... and somehow, every little breath made her heart race. God, she was so lucky...

"You're hopeless, you know that?"

The words caused a small moan to escape the tiny lady's lips, her captor simply rolling her eyes at the noise.

"T- thank you goddess!"

The larger woman's chest felt tight... she would never admit it, but this was her dream... she spent so many nights getting off, touching herself, whimpering at the thought of being worshipped, of breaking and using tiny pets- funny, she never imagined it would actually happen.

"Fuck, you're cute... tell me, dork, is there anything you WOULDN'T do for your goddess?"

The tiny woman shook her head eagerly.

"N- no! I'm yours... I would let you do anything to me.... if it makes my owner happy, I'll do it..."

Truth be told... she had her own motivation. All her little fantasies come true... She had been watching her goddess for a while... touching herself, imagining herself "helping" as a plaything... smeared against her grimy, disgusting cock... shoved up her rancid, twitching pucker.... placed on the seat of her chair during long gaming sessions... every inch of her was perfect, from her feet up to her unwashed, ragged hair... she had spent so much time just watching and staring... even she knew she was a bit of a pervert, her nights spent touching herself to the thought of being between those supple cheeks, experiencing EVERY part of her... little thing didn't shy away from and aspect of her owner...

"Keep staring, dweeb. It's cute."

No need to tell her twice. Her eyes had been fixed on her owner for a while, and she wasn't planning on stopping anytime soon. She knew the woman wasn't actually a deity, but at her smaller size, it was hard to view her as anything but a goddess... it was hard to remember her actual name- now that she was thinking about it... it was hard to remember her own name...

She didn't mind. All she knew was she was a pet, and that she was lucky enough to serve goddess <33

[to-thelakes]

We keep saying Luke is a simp for reader (he is) but it's the other way around as well. Reader loves baking things for Luke and making him lunches for office days. They also make sure he gets enough hydration and even packs cute notes in his bag for motivation

i was just about to go to sleep but OH. MY. GOD. YES THEY ABSOLUTELY WOULD

like baking his favourite cookies?? YES! speaking to his mami and finding out what his favourite foods were as a kid and cooking them, YEAH they'd do that for him.

literally reader would simp just as hard if not HARDER for luke, they would do literally anything to keep him happy, it's insane, and i love the idea of them making him lunches for when he goes to the office, he makes them a lot of the time but if they know that he's tired, they'll make his favourite or a comfort food and they'll give him some freshly baked cookies (and one for garcia to) which quickly devolves in them baking for the entire team bc their cookies are the best (i see u jj, going after the cookies)

but if he is the one that makes his lunch, that doesn't mean his partner won't sneak a note in so that he can giggle and smile over it while he's at the office. it's usually just something short and sweet, an i love you or you look cute today but sometimes it's a little longer and when she knows he's been having a rough week she writes a longer note talking about how much she loves him and telling him that they're gonna go do something together whenever he has his next free weekend

like the reader has endless patience with his job and they adore him so so so much, would literally do anything to make him smile and if he's had a really long day in the office, he comes back to find that they invited themselves over, already took roxy for a walk for him and gave her dinner bc luke was back late and then they are cooking while roxy watches them and he's just so in love

and the reader would just do little things, gift him a new book that he's been wanting, check when the release of games he wants to play are so she can make sure he can play them on the day of release and not have to worry about anything else, sometimes they'll even do research on the games to make sure that they know everything and if they're over while luke is playing and he is stuck on a level, they'll watch a couple of playthroughs in secret and then give subtle hints to get him through the level

like he is a gamer bro but he's the big soft cuddly gamer bro and he will play his games but if you text him that you've had a bad day or need to cry, he will drop everything and come to you. you would do the same for him

it's such a soft cute relationship and ugh, okay, i really need to go sleep now but the thoughts of mr luke alvez are constant especially in my ill-state, i cannot escape him, i want him to give me soup and take care of me and scare the doctors into listening to me xx

[yunhobug]

All about you

I honestly don’t know what to call this, I just wanted to write little blurbs based off the seasons greeting themes.

Ateez x Gn reader

Also HAPPY ATINY DAY🤧 (a day late)

genre: fluff

w: mentions of food (yeosang), mentions of weed/smoking (wooyoung)

Catch!Seonghwa

Seonghwa had always been THAT boy. He was good looking and sociable, the boy always seemed to be surrounded by a large group of friends. He had outstanding grades and good relations with his professors. He had a reputation to uphold, there was always a rumor going around about him and some other girl. That wasn’t the Seonghwa you knew, not the one you came home to everyday. Not your Seonghwa. You knew him differently, the Seonghwa that collected lego figurines, the Seonghwa that called his mom once a week, the Seonghwa that likes to wear dorky matching pajamas to sleep, and use face masks together. While yes Seonghwa was a catch, only you had managed to capture his heart and he planned to keep it that way for awhile.

Nerd!Hongjoong

Hongjoong had sworn to the gods to make sure he had a good partner for the final project and he felt utterly dejected when the two of you were paired together. Sure you were nice and probably one of the most attractive people he had ever seen but you seemed a little airy. Your head always focused on other thoughts it seemed. He had to try and put you back on track multiple times. Though as weeks went on he soon understood you. You always had such creative ideas, ways to make your project stand out from others. You had expressed wanting to do more than just a plain powerpoint. You weren’t dumb, you were actually incredibly smart. While yes biology was super boring in your eyes you knew a ton about it, even more than Hongjoong himself. Overtime Hongjoong had grown incredibly fond of you and your crazy brain, and he only hoped you felt them same. Though from the looks you gave him, he could probably guess pretty well.

Skater boy!Yunho

You were Yunho’s new neighbor. You seemed quite shy and didn’t seem to leave your apartment much, but Yunho was smitten. In the times you had talked he could never get a grip on your mind for long. He didn’t know your hobbies, likes, or food preferences, until recently. Yunho liked to skate at night the most, the streets were empty and the summer air cooled his skin. That’s when he would watch for you. You almost always had your curtains pulled back and Yunho could gaze into your window to see what you were really like. You liked to dance around your room, you had a large never ending stack of books, and a cat that liked to sit in the window. Yunho fell in love with this you, the real you. Though you may not show it to him for a long time he still got a glimpse and it made his chest flutter.

Part Timer!Yeosang

Yeosang knew your face but never your name. You came into his store late in the evening probably once a week. Sometimes with friends sometimes alone, but you always made sure to get some strawberry ice cream. He assumed it was your favorite. You always smiled so warmly at him, thanking him, even though he was just doing his job. You never failed to tell him to have a good night and to get home safe. It made his chest warm, the way you put so much care into your words even though he was a stranger. Tonight when you came in, Yeosang noticed you were alone. You waved towards him and made your way to the back coolers. Within a couple minutes you came up to his register, placing a tub strawberry ice cream on the counter along with two candy bars. He checked you out and you paid, walking away from the counter when Yeosang had realized you had left one of the candy bars.

“Hey, you forgot this!” He called out, watching you perk up at his words.

“Keep it!” Then you left.

Gamer boy!San

San tended to not pay attention to the time when playing games, you often woke up in bed alone at 2 in the morning due to this. This had happened again tonight, waking up to cold sheets. You got out of bed, swaying slightly due to tiredness as you made your way into the next room. San was sat at his desk, a pair of cat ear headphones rested on his head, they were a gift from you for his birthday. You had expected San to be playing league or something of the sort but you were surprised to see the Sims on his screen. You walked over to him wrapping your arms around his neck from behind, making him jump in surprise.

“Can you please come to bed? It’s late Sannie.” You pouted down at him. He looked up, smiling softly at your tired features.

“Yeah sorry baby, I got distracted making us in the game. See, that’s you, me, and byeol. I even made our apartment!”

Quarterback!Mingi

You had always liked to watch Mingi play, there was something so captivating about him, even though you never really cared about the sport before meeting him. Mingi loved when you came to his games. He loved being able to share a passion of his with you. Letting you into his world was a privilege you got to experience. Tonight was no exception. You were seated in the stands, right next to his parents, bundled up in a big coat to keep warm. His coat actually. Mingi’s favorite part about you coming to his games happened after the team had won. He got to see you yelling his name, jumping up and down with excitement, and the largest smile on your face. You truly were his good luck charm.

Cool kid!Wooyoung

You wouldn’t consider Wooyoung a friend. An acquaintance was probably more accurate. You had mutual friends sure but the two of you didn’t talk much outside of school. Wooyoung used to sneak up to the roof, trying to skip his classes and up there he found you. You went up there to smoke and clear your head. Wooyoung started to join you every 6th period. You two would sit, listen to music, talk about your struggles, and get high. Your conversations tended to get a bit deep, though neither of you realized. You didn’t realize that Wooyoung knew your entire life story, he knew the details about the fights you had with your shitty boyfriend. He knew how much you loved your dog, and how much your younger brother meant to you. So maybe you didn’t consider Wooyoung a friend just yet, but he definitely considered you one.

Best friend!Jongho

Jongho wasn’t sure when he started seeing you as more than a friend. Maybe it was when you showed up to his singing performance with a big sign to show your support, or maybe it was when you guys went to the zoo and took hundreds of pictures. But if he was to guess it was when you came over to his house for his moms birthday. Not for him but for his mom. He never wanted for his feelings to develop like this, it happened out of his control. One day you were his annoying best friend and the next you were the most attractive person he’s ever seen. Jongho kept his feeling to himself for months, not wanting to change the dynamic you had but as soon as you mentioned how that one guy from math class had asked you to dinner he couldn’t keep it to himself any longer.

“Please don’t go out with him, go with me instead, but not as a friend as a date.”

[ash-arts-a-thing]

So, I followed the scent of angst and ended up finding ur trollshock au, LOVIN IT so far!

Had to look up what bioshock was and its context and characters since I’m not a gamer, but I am still a bit confused bout the whole situation. U don’t have to, but do u think u could give a brief rundown of what’s going on?

Thank you!!! I’m glad you’re liking it!! I hope to do more for it soon!!

Where do I start? I haven’t gotten a comeplete timeline from begining to end, so some things aren’t difinitive, but I can give you run downs on a couple things.

Sorry this got kinda long, I’ll put it under a read more, if you have any more questions please don’t hesitate to ask!

John Dory and his parents were invited to move to Rapture for their scientific knowledge, which works for them because morally their parents are extremely bankrupt so they can get away with anything down there. JD was aiming to get into the music industry, he’s a great song writer (not naming them though) and he’s ace with a guitar, but their parents managed to talk him out of it. They claimed his entertainment skills would be put to better use by demonstrating plasmids and tonics, of course back then they weren’t comepletely aware of the side effects excessive and heavy use could do to somebody both physically and mentally.

So for a while JD was the face and name of plasmid use, his favourites being Enrage and Incinerate. The first side effects he had were horrible migraines so he uses a pair of tinted goggles to try to avoid bright lights, and around this time he’d been told they would be having another baby soon. JD, excited at the thought of being a big brother, recorded a few songs for them via audio diary and one in particular being written specifically for his sibling.

Not long after Bruce was hatched the effects of constantly destroying and rewriting his dna finally caught up to him and they quickly pulled JD from any sort of spotlight and practically erased his existance, claiming that he had to be sent back to the surface for business reasons. In reality they signed him off to the new Protector Program, Bruce was signed to the Little Sister (Brother) Program. Any male subject they tried to use for the LSP hasn’t worked, but they managed to make it work ask long as Bruce was paired JD and ONLY JD.

Unfortunately the slug they planted into Bruce had the side effect to make him age incredibly fast and while they saw it as a benefit at first, since the rest of the children in the Program were 5-6 years old, but by the end of year 3 he had the looks and mental capacity of a 30 year old. He was not happy to say the least, since he’d been put through multiple experiments to try to slow the process before he reached his ‘30s’.

They went through the same thing with the rest of the brothers, slowly perfecting the aging problem with each one before getting it right with Branch. Each brother also still has their slug in their bodies, leaving them with the residual effects they caused when they were LB, but they don’t know how long they’ll last since Clay and Floyd don’t get Adam unlike Bruce.

B, C, and F, are desperately trying to get to Branch without hurting JD or causing his body to shut down from Branch being taken from him. Floyd quickly became reckless in his attempts and constantly takes mortal damage. Bruce is trying to keep Clay and Floyd safe even forbidding them from using Plasmids and Tonics so they don’t destroy their bodies or minds. Clay is constantly torn between his two brothers, wanting them to just be a family, but knowing trying to seperate Branch and John Dory safely will most likely be impossible.

John Dory still has some part of him left, doing little things to keep his personality like the way he’s still a showmen when he uses plasmids, he’ll hum along to any of the songs he’s written if they’re played through a diary. When he hums you can hear the barest undertone of his regular voice mixed with the guttural voice of the Big Daddy’s, it’s very comforting actually. So he’s aware, but sometimes he isn’t.

Viva and Poppy were also put through the PP and LSP, Viva forcefully put through rapid aging to fit the role of a Big Sister and Poppy put through the conditioning. Viva is fully aware of everything happening around the city and does her best to keep Poppy as safe as possible. Viva and JD have a steady protector relationship due to the friendship through Poppy and Branch.

Viva also ocassionally tries to keep the other brothers informed of what’s happening around the city when she isn’t watching the kids. Her and Clay are very close, being friends before they’re conditioning and experiments took over their lives comepltely and eventually forming a romantic relationship. Viva, at first, is not happy with the way Bruce conducts things, thinking that he just wants to kill JD and be done with it until she see how he reacts to one of his brothers old recordings.

Thier goal is to make it out of Rapture, together, as a family. There are three endings, haven’t decided which would be canon, but I’m running off the ideas from B2.

The Good Ending: everybody makes it out alive and in one piece, John Dory is able to get the same treatment as Sigma in the canon games, getting freed from the conditioning and his suit so he can live a… ‘normal’ life with his family. They probably all get a big house together and help take care of Poppy and Branch as they attend school and shit and Bruce gets some help for the mental state he’d be in after the genetic issues.

The Neutral Ending: John Dory dies in order to save his brothers and the sisters. Viva would extract JD’s Adam and distribute it amongst his brothers so they’d all have a piece of him, kinda like a shoulder angel type of deal. It’s unknown if they’d all stay together.

The Bad Ending: John Dory and Bruce both die, the conditioning would end up being too much for JD to fight against and comepletely lose who he’d use to be, causing him to lash out at the rest of them. Bruce at this time would also feel his sanity slipping, using what consciousness he has left to protect them all from JD, leading them both to their deaths. When the rest finally make it to the surface they all break off, Floyd taking Branch, Clay going solo, and Viva taking Poppy with her.

[beemers-hell]

Oh wow. So, are Raina finds out cure, or she struggles with seizures even for now?

Also, i love her lore. It's pretty sad and angsty, but at least she get that enderman powers- love how you pointed that being fearless is a difficulty.

ANYWAY! what are her Favorite places in nevada to be? Or maybe some if Nevada had same things our earth got?

How good she is with kids? It seems to be really interesting since she mostly didn't have adults to care or survive.

Ok so:

1) She hasn't really tried figuring out a cure for her epilepsy or anything, she's just resigned to managing it as best she can with medication n' shit. She's essentially "stress tested" herself plenty of times in order to figure out how much teleporting she can handle before an episode is triggered, or just what triggers it in general outside of her powers, and she's found that being on anticonvulsants helps in letting her teleport more without triggering an episode, as well as just not having any during normal life stuff period lol. So she makes do with whatever she's able to scavenge! Making sure she's stocked on anticonvulsants is a top priority for both her and her work colleagues!

2) Thank you so much!! I'm very happy with her story as is lol. I think its important to highlight how fearlessness isn't necessarily a good trait to have, especially in an apocalyptic setting such as Nevada. This girl gets THIS close to getting killed half the time as a result of her fearlessness resulting in recklessness!

3) Usually her favorite places out in the wasteland are just rundown, abandoned malls or arcades, she likes visiting places she can somewhat remember vibing in as a child, and seeing what's become of them. Plus, she's a technical wizard, and is usually able to figure out how to get arcade cabinets back up and running if left around them for long enough. The gamer in her never left, despite the horrors lol

4) She's wonderful with kids! Though she doesn't really come across them all that often, considering no one really like...has time to settle down and focus their efforts on anything but survival lol. However, she has run into a couple lost kids and teens over the years, and she's always been an absolute riot with them. She's naturally got that big sister type of energy/operating mode, and is usually able to keep them in high spirits while also trying to find a safe place for them to go. Cause like, as much as she's fond of them, she knows keeping a kid around in Nevada is much more of a liability than it is helpful!

[maks-punchout-hyperfixtion]

Happy 4th of july folks! We get some firework punch out headcanons + oc's!!!

Still the wii. Sorry super punch out fans i promise i got some headcanons for you all soonish

Is used to the noise (being from a Popular city can do that) and loves the colors, a simple man.

Von Kaiser

Has to wear earphones during them, to loud for him.

Probably actually hates them in general to be honest.
