Listen, I literally typed out the all caps normally and I was like “this does not convey my emotions well enough because I’ve been doing this after a lot of glass chapters and this is worse” so giant text and caps it is. But I am genuinely bouncing with excitement. More random thoughts while I’m here:
Tomys is fine after falling and it’s heavily implied that he bumped into Wilbur right before the edge which broke his fall.
When these boys get found, they are going to be covered in dried blood and it’s going to look so much worse than it is because it’s not theirs.
Someone is going to be very upset after this contract.
I’m already trying to calculate the odds of you giving Wilbur a permanent limp after this.
When the guards started dropping I was like “Right Bee has been reading Game of Thrones” I have never read game of thrones, but it feels like it would be writing like that, I go whiplash, in a good way.
Also, trying to have the competition killed feels like a very ruthless idea. Seems more in Niki’s style given the war room, but Q is the one to warn Wilbur and the one who heard about the fact that he was going from someone else (aka Schlatt, which is why I think he’s behind this, maybe he’s just as ruthless as Niki), but it does feel like something that was either done behind Q’s back or something that was decided before they knew Wilbur would be there.
There’s also something to be said about Niki’s ruthlessness vs. This particular idea vs. How she was acting off around Wilbur but all of this is speculation and I will get to that when I actually analyse with lines.
What else… oh yeah, the foreshadowing! Or more like Wilbur using his dagger to cut the pears! I saw and I was like, she’s letting us know he has a dagger, we need this info for later when he needs it. It had me stressed. At least he didn’t have to stab anyone.
Oh and both these boys are traumatised now are they.
-🌲
while that carriage tumble was pretty chaotic and both wilbur and tommy were flying everywhere, tommy did fall into wilbur at one point and it probably is part of what broke his fall
literally just half their bodies are covered in that carriage driver's blood rn
...yknow if he had access to a doctor this is technically a medieval era so uh, healing that broken leg is gonna be ROUGH
I'll say my writing style isn't very similar to George RR Martins but having read GoT definitely has helped with the action sequences a bit (I'd say my writing style for rose so far has been most influenced by The Priory of the Orange Tree though and also She Who Became the Sun)
hm... so many possible suspects when it comes to who hired the bandits...
LOL I love that you picked up on that. I was like shit I need to mention wilbur has a dagger at some point how do I do that. oh yeah they're eating fruit-
oh theres gonna be so much trauma from this incident

okay honestly if i had to guess. I think tubbo will take off longer than literally just a day and I do think it’ll be several weeks if not a month or even longer before he streams on main but I do think he’ll do an alt stream within a week of the subbathon ending. bc as much as this subbathon has become a part of our lives and routines bc it’s been actual months it’s a part of his too and I think once the novelty of oh my god I have my life back goes away I genuinely do think he’ll miss streaming like I could totally see him doing a DJ alt stream for instance cause that isn’t as fun to do on your own without chat spamming emotes yknow. And I’m sure he’ll still be playing games with friends and some of those friends will be live sometime. I don’t think he could disappear from the internet for longer than like a week tops even if he wanted to cause his lives and routines and hobbies are so intertwined with streaming that genuinely an long break might make him feel worse not better. And cause like if he’s feeling pressure or whatever his alt chat is Very well cultivated at this point it’s 1k very chill people yknow. Sorry if this was a little parasocial it’s just me theorizing and just from the perspective of stopping anything cold turkey, whether stopping is a good thing or a bad thing, never works and all like we’ll miss him and I think he’ll miss us too
Honestly that’s my thoughts as well. He might go a bit longer if piso is there but that depends ENTIRELY on when the subathon ends. If it ends at the 90 day cap then he will only have a couple week before a sad last stream where he’s “bored without piso” but I think if it ends before that cap then piso Can keep him occupied enough to not stream.
I think we have to realize that Tubbo spent the majority of his formative years in developing individuality and independence live streaming to hundreds of thousands of people. He also used it as a form of escapism from the stress of streaming and the problems that come from it. Streaming is literally part of his mentality at this point and I think it’s too ingrained in his psyche for him to leave long term. He has to pretend that there’s a camera on him constantly or he gets paranoid that people are watching him. He looks in the mirror and sees a stream preview. The time he spends on the alt is related to his mental health (his words!).
He has a lot of great plans and aspirations, and I think he wants to be able to go a while without feeling the pressure to stream, but I don’t think he actually can. His life revolves around it and he quite literally depends on it in more ways then one.
#also never apologize for being parasocial bc have you seen my blog?#I could write a whole post about his guilt to chat and how chat directly inflicted that guilt and need to work from the start#and how that contributes to his need to stream as well#but that’s a lot and idk if we are ready for that psychoanalyzing tonight lmao#tubbo#tubathon#anon asks

Idk if you're still doing the lore thing, but if you are: The Blood Of My Enemy Stains My Hands Now?
I am ALWAYS still doing lore for fics. Sorry this took like two weeks to answer, anon.
LORE FOR THE BLOOD OF MY ENEMY STAINS MY HANDS NOW <-- link to story
this was written as a request for Tamuril2, who asked for something with Loki and Fury after I wrote My Kids Will Call Me Fury , where Fury collected the Avengers as his kids. They wanted something with Loki and Fury specifically, so when I added the additional scene at the end of MKWCMF, I also decided to just...write this.
I didn't have a plan. I didn't even really have an end goal in mind.
I remember starting to write it and just being like "yknow what, fine" and just letting it go wherever. I wrote the entire thing in like seven hours. I am a meticulous planner for multi-chapters. For one-shots I kinda just let the story take itself.
Fair warning, I haven't read this story in probably 2 years. No, I think i listened to it at work recently? honestly i have no idea.
lol. Fury is such an a-hole.
---
it was not ear blood. It was the fact that Loki was crying. The ear blood just sort of sealed the deal.
---
PTSD from being tortured by Thanos ^^^
---
"Flesh around a long, ragged gorge (a stab, not clean) is blackened and the veins around it are turning a purplish-blue."
.....
galaxy.
that's kind of too funny to go and edit out honestly. Sometimes I find grammar errors that I can't stand but this is just. This is comedy gold.
reason 1134325235 I should have a beta, but don't. (I edit vigorously but that only catches 92% of everything)
---
"Fury can see evidence of previous scars there, white and not as faint as he's expecting for someone over a millennia old."
^^^
from torture with thanos
---
yeah, i think the injury has changed like at least two times that I've noticed. If you can't tell, I literally had no idea what I was going with, lol.
---
ha. Everyone kept making jokes about how Thanos would be defeated by Cap Marvel alone without any effort on her part whatsoever before Endgame came out and I found it really annoying. This is 1000% a "look, carol can't solve everything" point.
---
"He jolts a little and his face twitches with something that looks close to a grimace. Fury leans against the side of the car a little, and stares at him."
^^ hypervigilance, a common symptom of ptsd
---
""Believe me, Director, the things that are after me would horrify you."
Fury blinks. "That is not reassuring."
"It wasn't meant to be."
Of course not. Brat."
I love them, your honor.
---
"And, well, he attempted to smuggle me out the next day. We didn't make it far. Odin commissioned Thor banned from Asgard for the next two years and I to the snake pits beneath the palace."
THEY JUST HAVE SNAKE PITS BENEATH THE PALACE AND NO ONE BRINGS THAT UP AGAIN? WHAT IS THIS????????? AMERICA EXPLAIN!
----
"There is no way that Fury is sending him back. None on this planet, none on any other. If capital punishment must be met, it should be clean. Fury has never been big on torture as recompense for a crime."
I know there are a lot of mcu fics out there where Fury 100% engages in torture and believes it's an effective means of retrieving information or enacting punishment, but I personally don't see Fury doing that. To be clear, I think those fics are fun and very enjoyable, but I don't think that Natasha, Clint, or Tony would trust Tony to the extent they do if Fury was willing to do a ton of physical/mental harm to someone.
---
"Stop scowling, S.H.I.E.L.D. can always use the assets. You work for us and we'll give you a roof over your head and keep you from Asgard, and whatever else it is that's hunting you.""
WAIT I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT THIS IS THE FIC I WROTE WHERE LOKI BECOMES FURY'S C.I./AGENT
I LOVE THIS FIC
---
Between yet another villain attack and Tony breaking into S.H.I.E.L.D. again, Fury nearly forgets all about it.
TONY
I need the context behind this and yet I have none XD
---
Despite the fact that his leathers were destroyed and Fury banned him from using magic save truly dire circumstances, he still manages to seem well dressed. Fury's not even certain where the long suit coat came from. He doesn't wear ties from what Fury's seen unless the circumstance permits it.
^^
more ptsd from torture. ties are a little too close to strangulation for him.
---
If Fury hadn't been looking for it he would have missed the slight widening of Loki's eyes and the relief slip into his stance.
^^
I always got the impression that Odin spent a great deal of time yelling at Thor and Loki for doing things wrong. I don't imagine Loki's delivered reports to his father that went over smoothly.
---
"So, you're keeping him?" Coulson questions and Fury nearly jumps in surprise at the voice, turning to look back at the agent currently seated in a chair in his office, the folder that he's compiled on Loki in hand.
I LOVE THIS FIC SO MUCH! WHY IS COULSON HERE? I DON"T KNOW, BUT IT'S GREAT HE BROKE INTO FURY'S OFFICE AND FURY ISN'T EVEN ANNOYED, JUST RESIGNED. like it happens all the time. (Oh, hill asked him to look into it. okay. makes sense. still glorious)
Also loving that Coulson is literally chill with the guy who stabbed him working with them. Like. Bro. You're a SAINT.
---
He hasn't mentioned it to his higher-ups and plans to keep it that way.
The more they can make it seem like Loki vanished off the face of the Earth the better.
Less things to shove off his tail.
^^
Fury's desperate self explanations for everything are fantastic. Literally he's doing this so the "big bad thing" after Loki doesn't pick up the fact that he didn't die on the street corner.
---
"Fury's rising desire to punch Odin and any other Asgardian (save Thor) in the face kicks up a notch."
^^
yeah if this is not clear from earlier, Fury and Thor are good terms. They've talked a bit about Loki, which is how Fury knew that Loki would make a good agent to begin with.
---
It both strings and numbs him to realize that Loki trusts him enough not to sneak something into the food. Loki stays the rest of the night on the couch, his face twitching with discomfort, but the trust that he presents Fury with is humbling.
^^
This is. Bro. Loki is so untrusting. like deeply at his core. the fact that he did this with fury just really makes me realize how much Loki trusts him. He showed up at Fury's house when he was having an anxiety attack to ask for help. He didn't think Fury would turn him away. He didn't even bother to pick through the food because he trusts fury. Like. whoa.
---
He comes to with an aching back, a sore throat unequal to any other, and the sound of quiet voices talking around him. His mind refuses to really process any of the words their speaking beyond frazzled bits of mumbles, but he recognizes the voices enough that he doesn't panic.
AND FURY TRUSTS THE AVENGERS + LOKI
---
"Thank you." Fury interrupts.
Loki's jaw hangs a little and he stares at him, "What?"
"Thank you." Fury repeats.
Loki's eyebrows look in danger of disappearing into his hairline. "I…?"
Curse you, Odin, and all you other Asgardian idiots.
^^^
Loki saved everyone's lives on Jotunheim and not one (1) person thanked him for keeping them alive. I don't get the impression he gets thanked that often.
---
"Sure, he was shot, but it isn't the worst thing that's ever happened to him before.
He's a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. S.H.I.E.L.D. director.
He has other things to do."
THIS MAN I SWEAR
--
"Loki belongs to Asgard—!"
"And I've elected to ignore that."
^^
probably a better summary of this fic, lol.

i once again got to thinking and yknow about the illinois discovering the cap in the cryo pod and all that? yeah imagine he leaves the ship after raiding it of any leftover goods and just as he leaves hes like "oh FUCK WASNT THAT Y/N-"
(that is if we imagine all the egos remember past timelines and are aware they do happen, and have also met y/n before iswm)
and immediatly after that theres a universe reboot (i hc they happen when the cap has truly died, in this case, frozen to death) and it lands everyone in the old friends au. i imagine illinois being VERY apologetic to the cap about abandoning them, even if they did look like some messed up ice mummy and would have probably died soon either way
could explain why my man lives inside a tent on y/ns property. human guard dog so noone can break in /j (and yancy is the small chihuahua demon dog thats also a guard dog exept he lives IN the house, not outside it. double protection!)
idk i was never the biggest fan of illinois but this is a cute idea.
For a guy who doesn't get attached to people he sure does get attached to us quick
I hc Cap thought they were hallucinating/dreaming when he opened the door, hence reaching out just to confirm if he was real or not. But when they see how truly sorry he is after the reboot they're like "oh shit you were there???"
They forgive him tho, knowing they messed up that timeline really bad with the whole crew rebellion and knew the universe was kinda doomed anyway.
But they get a second chance and so does Illinos :)
Imagine if Yancy finds out about this tho, he's gonna beat his ass

OKAY SO I GOT TO SEE SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK ANDRE DE SHIELDS KING LEAR YESTERDAY AND IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING SO HERE’S A POST ABOUT THAT
first off here’s the shitty picture i took of the set! the entire thing was set in “a north african nation” (words theirs; in quotes because i don’t want to seem like they named a real one and i just didn’t bother to remember askdfhdskhfds) & the entire cast was people of color! i am staring at this picture thinking about how blurry it is but trust me that it was SO fucking cool... it was visibly gorgeous but also visibly crumbling which. like. foams at the mouth about the symbolism yknow
ALSO the winged thing is the throne! during intermission (which was after 3.6), some crew members took the wings off and laid them down at the back of the set like the whole thing had come apart, and when edmund entered in 5.1 he had a moment of staring out at the audience with his foot up on the top wing
the entire production went hard on drums; there was a note in the program about how the director wanted to center the african setting & also the rhythm; the trumpet herald at the end was replaced by drumming, and during the storm scenes, the drums represented the thunder! (complete with flashing lights for lightning; it was cool as fuck)
& now i’m gonna describe my beat-by-beat staging notes that i scribbled down from where i was sitting in the grass. no attempts to make this coherent bc the show was so fucking good and i just feel insane <3
edmund came out in literal jade-colored glasses which felt like a WONDERFUL character bit
everyone in this cast was so well cast btw and not to be a lesbian but like. the lear sisters. 😳
they cut the cordelia asides in 1.1, which made it slightly harder to get a read on her but also made it slightly more startling when she said “nothing, my lord” (goneril and regan both got up to take a literal microphone from lear, while cordelia didn’t take it when he held it out and literally turned away to face the audience instead)
there were three little stools laid out for each sister to sit on & lear was so infuriated by what cordelia said that he started throwing them around (not at her but close)
and lear never looked particularly Legitimately Threatening (he looked very small, actually; idk how tall andre de shields is lmfao but he definitely looked like an old man), but cordelia flinched near-instinctively when he threw the stools, like this wasn’t the first time
WHEN LEAR LEFT NEAR THE END OF 1.1 GONERIL GOT UP AND SAT IN THE THRONE WHERE HE’D BEEN SITTING AND STAYED THERE WHILE SEEING CORDELIA OFF
she was also the only lear sister in a pantsuit 😳
on that note they were color-coded! goneril was dressed all in purple, regan was orange, and cordelia was pink; all of their households followed this (eg cornwall was orange, oswald was purple), but when cordelia came back in act four, it was in soldiers’ clothes without any pink on her
andre de shields lear was fucking incredible and is anyone surprised about that like he was so good
he did SO much yelling. man has some lungs on him. not even yelling words all the time but a lot of just flat-out yelling (which was alternately funny and distressing depending on the moment)
like in 1.4 he stumbled back in to deliver “50 of my followers at a clap?” heralded by his own flat-out scream which made everyone laugh a little. grandpappy off the shits
EDGAR CAME IN ON A SKATEBOARD WITH HEADPHONES ON AND WHEN HE STOPPED AND LIFTED UP HIS SKATEBOARD SHAKESPEARE’S FACE WAS ON THE BOTTOM
this edgar was so fucking perfect btw like. everything about him. i think he was my favorite part of the show
lear and his knights busted in playing loud music, waving guns, and drinking from beer cans (white claw? idk what it was i’m a weenie). lear was wearing the brightest orange shirt ive ever seen. kent received entry to the group by busting some sick moves to the music despite being an oldass man
the fool was SO fucking funny he interacted w the audience constantly and the entire time (even during the storm scene) he was lugging around a suitcase and a little folding stool
after “have more than thou showest” the audience started clapping and he looked at us and said “not yet”
and then proceeded to deliver the sweet and bitter fool speech as a full-on rap with the audience clapping the beats in after each line
at the end of which he said to us “good job! give yourselves a hand. the king’s mad at y’all now though” and then he turned around and lear had his gun aimed at him and AUDIBLY clicked the safety off and there was a tense second where the fool had to talk him down
GONERIL SLAPPED LEAR AFTER THE BARRENNESS CURSE
1.5 hurt because the fool was VERY clearly trying his best to cheer lear up, like, he kept glancing around for ideas and trying to joke while lear sat pathetically on his folding stool
the stage was outdoors (duh) and there were ramps on either side for the actors to come on and off into the crowd, and when edgar ran off, he sprinted down the ramp, then turned, sprinted BACK, hugged edmund HARD, and then ran off again and around the back of the stage
this was after edmund FULLY punched him in the face on “pardon me” :(
at the end of 2.1 edmund was the last one to file off stage and he turned and gave the audience the cheekiest shrug
edgar tripped and ate shit while he was absolutely tearing around the side of the stage for 2.3 and idk if it was on purpose but it felt in character AKHSDFKHDSSFH
he delivered “poor turlygod! poor tom!” like he was acting, and then looked up and went “that’s something” kind of like he’d just realized
the fool delivered his merlin speech like he was making it up on the fucking spot. “and then the realm of albion...” [PAUSE.] “will come... to great... con-fu-si-on” emphasizing the non-rhyme. same with the non-rhyme of “see’t” / “fee-eet.” then he looked at us and said, “i didn’t write it. ask the author” and scrambled offstage
in 3.3 gloucester hugged edmund! ...and edmund picked his pocket for his key
“nay, he reserved some white flowers in the crook of his elbow, half a pair of pants, and a nasty ratty baseball cap, else we’d all been shamed” (im filling in the wording i forgot but that’s near verbatim and i cackled out loud)
(he was, indeed, wearing nothing but some white flowers, a ragged pair of pants, and a nasty ratty baseball cap. and a lot of dirt/paint)
when gloucester entered during the hovel scene edgar was skittering across the floor and looked up and the whole set paused as they made EXTENDED eye contact and it hurt INTENSELY
and then edgar snatched gloucester’s flashlight and hurried to the opposite end of the stage to focus entirely and intently on warming his hands over it like a fire and he did not look in gloucester’s direction at all but he got VERY still when gloucester mentioned him
i made an AUDIBLE noise when lear stabbed the fool. like. i knew it was a possible staging but it happened so fast and so viciously that it caught me totally off guard
and edgar got the “i’ll go to bed at noon” line :(
genuinely it is hard to emphasize how perfect this edgar was. how do i kin a character but just one specific version of that character that i saw one time
(intermission happened here!)
while interrogating gloucester, cornwall was very deliberately putting on medical gloves and then he picked up a power drill and my friend and i in the audience looked at each other exactly like the fucking monkey puppet image
however. only one eye went out with the power drill. because regan took the other one out WITH HER NAILS in a fit of rage when her husband was injured. full on stuck her hand into his eye socket
goneril and edmund kissed for a LONG long moment in 4.2. long enough that oswald coughed pointedly. which did not stop or affect them
gloucester tried to pay edgar and edgar immediately turned around and chucked the payment off stage
gloucester used a cane the whole show and he dropped it off the “cliff” before he fell, and edgar swooped down and silently caught it and held it for a moment before he let it clatter to the floor
at this point he was also wearing leggings and like. three mismatched layers of flannels and jackets
lear came out in act four in a tropical dress, white face/chest paint, and a flower/fruit hat
he threw money into the crowd multiple times during his speech, including one point where he specifically leaned over the edge of the stage, motioned at the closest audience member, said, “come here,” and then threw money at them
he also mooned the guards who came to get him
and nearly hugged someone in the crowd while the guards tried to drag his half-tranquilized body away
oswald was so fucking funny for the entire play. so funny. in 1.4 he came in with goneril and pointed at lear with the air of a small child tattling to the teacher; when kent attacked him he fell on the ground whimpering; he came in to kill gloucester a moment before lear left and ducked back into the wings FAST before creeping out again
when the guards brought lear and cordelia in, someone set out the fool’s little folding chair, and cordelia ended up sitting on it during lear’s speech :( felt very my-poor-fool-is-hanged y’know
curan from 2.1 was the captain in 5.1! so he & edmund already had a bit of a relationship established
REGAN THREW HER WINE IN GONERIL’S FACE WHILE THEY FOUGHT OVER EDMUND
edgar and edmund dueled with two swords each
AND WHEN HE WAS INJURED AND ALBANY CALLED THEM BOTH OUT. GONERIL TOOK EDMUND’S SWORD AND WENT AT ALBANY WITH IT AND NEARLY GOT HIM BEFORE RUNNING OFFSTAGE
they cut “yet edmund is beloved” which is always a cardinal sin HOWEVER when he got the news about regan and goneril edmund stabbed himself which. pain and suffering!
much like albany himself, i literally forgot about lear and cordelia because i was so enthralled by gloucester brothers duel like. i was so caught up in the agony of edgar killing edmund that i forgot the other fucking bomb that had to drop and it was like getting bricked in the face
my last note literally reads “cannot believe i forgot abt the other bomb to drop jesus christ i hate this shit ass bitch ass play it really just fucking ends like that huh fuck off”
it was the first time i’ve ever seen live shakespearean theater and it literally could not have been better and i am terminally insane now.

memorable
hi I’m back, I wanted to write remus’ first game just because yknow, but would just like to point out that I have no idea about ice hockey at all
characters belong to the wonderful @lumosinlove
if you have any, please send requests or just come for a chat in the asks :) xx
The locker room was loud, it always was, but to Remus, everything was different. Sirius had always told him he was part of the team, but until this moment he always felt slightly out of place. It wasn’t that the boys were cold towards him, far from it. Each of them made sure to include him where they could, but being their pt meant he had had to take a step back every now and again.
He doesn’t have to anymore.
“Pots for the love of fucking god stop harassing my boyfriend and get your kit on.”
From the moment he’d entered the locker room, James hadn’t left his side, either commentating every move he made, asking whether he was superstitious yet or just chirping him for any little thing.
“Why, jealous cap?” he wiggled his eyebrows, letting out an incredibly manly squeal as Sirius’ gloves hit him square in the chest. Remus just laughed, used to watching from he sidelines, the feeling of being involved foreign, but not unwelcome.
Remus continued changing, aware of the noise surrounding him but the buzz of adrenaline blocked out the majority. A hand appeared on his shoulder and he turned, a soft smile appearing as he met Sirius’ eyes.
“Hey.”
“Hi.”
“Are you nervous?” Sirius’ eyes scanned his face, looking for any signs of discomfort.
“A little, but I'm more excited. I didn’t think I’d ever get to be here,” he admitted, finding that the usual stab of pain he feels in his heart when he thinks about the accident had faded to a dull ache.
Sirius leaned down quickly, connecting their lips in a soft kiss and bringing his hand to cup Remus’ cheek.
“Yes get it cap and rookie!”
“Talker, call me rookie again and I’ll get Tremz to ring his sister and see if she's really at her apartment.”
“That’s cold Loops, cold,” Thomas mock glared, before breaking into a grin.
“You ready?” Sirius tapped his side, regaining his attention.
“As I’ll ever be.”
~
“Now that’s rookie Remus Lupin on first line with captain Sirius Black and James Potter. Now I don’t know about you Lee, but I’m wondering how he’ll fit in with their dynamic, as Black and Potter are well known for their almost psychic like play.”
“I did wonder that Frank. There have been some tweets circulating claiming favouritism is the reason for Lupins position on the team, but I’ve had the pleasure of seeing some of his old tapes and if he’s even as half as good as he was, then we are in for a right treat.”
They took their positions, Sirius center, Remus on the right, Pots on the left, Olli and Timmers in defence, Kasey in goal. They were playing Ravenclaw tonight, first game of the season. Remus’ first game for the NHL. He knew Jules and his parents were in the crowd, Jules in his jersey.
He watched the puck drop, watched Sirius steal it before the opposition even had a chance. He shot ahead, calling for the puck before receiving it, increasing his speed as he did. He dodged the defensemen, and raced towards the goal.
Should I pull the fake or save it?
He opted for a slap shot instead, hearing the goal horn blare not even a second later. He was surrounded suddenly, Sirius planting a quick kiss on his cheek, James knocking on his helmet, Olli and Timmers pulling him into a crushing hug. He could get used to this.
His goal set the pace for the game. They won 7-2, Remus scored one more, Logan got a hat trick, and James and Sirius each got one. The atmosphere of the rink was electric.
~
“Re! Re you scored! It was so cool, they didn’t expect it, all of a sudden you were there and you were so fast and it was like a blur an-” Jules rambled as he sprinted into the locker room, barreling into Remus at top speed.
“Still got it hey?” he grinned, wrapping his arms around the excited ten year old.
His mum wiped her eyes, clearing the tears that had began to form. Remus pulled her into the hug too, willing himself not to get emotional. They pulled apart as the rest of the families entered, and Sirius walked over.
“Oi Jules, where’s your Black jersey? Thought I was your favourite,” He teased, pulling the young boy into a loose headlock.
Julian laughed, scrambling to get away, before pulling up his Lupin jersey to reveal his Black one underneath. Remus wished he had his phone to take a picture, just to savour the look on Sirius’ face.
“I couldn’t pick one of you, I mean obviously Re is my brother so he has to be my favourite,” Jules started, “but you’re my favourite too.”
“Don’t tell Remus, but you’re my favourite Lupin.”
Julians smile could’ve lit up the room, and it stayed plastered on his face even as his mum pulled him out of the room to allow them to change.
“You were amazing out there mon loup, I didn’t think it was possible but I think you just became ten times hotter.”
Remus swatted at him, but a blush coated his cheeks all the same. He pulled Sirius down for a quick kiss, still on a high from the adrenaline.
If this was a dream, he wished to never wake up.

Barista’s Adventures in Wonderland
Chapter 2: An Elf, a Manor, and a Catman
The Barista is still trying to find a way out of this strange dream, but they meet even stranger people on the way
Word Count: 3,789
Pt 1
Whooooo chapter 2, I stopped at like 2000 and was like yknow what lets keep going ;u;. Enjoy, gender neutral Barista as always
The dirt crunches under my feet as I follow down the path. Thank god I bought nice shoes for work otherwise I would be covered in blisters by now. As I continue down I spot something in the brush of trees. I get closer and realize it’s a door inlaid into a rock wall. The bushes surrounding it unfortunately are all white giving it an ominous look.
"Go through the creepy door? Or continue in this creepy forest in a strange place?" I ask out loud. Weighing my options I grab the key Felix handed me earlier and put it in the lock. Wincing for a second in fear that this door too will scream at me. But nothing happens and the key turns to unlock the door for me. I walk in and close the door behind me and stop to observe the room I've entered. A yellow couch and a desk sit in the center. There's a large bookcase that extends across the walls and reaches the ceilings, but despite its massive size, there are still piles of books stacked everywhere. Some reaching half my height. In the corner, I spot a kitchenette.
"Man this guy likes to read," I mumble to myself. "What was he asking for again his relic? And Glass-" I stop mid-sentence. Patting the pockets of my apron I pull out the book and glasses I picked up earlier and held them in front of me.
"Right I had them all this time… This is awkward," I mutter and place the items on the desk. "Maybe I can wait here and when he comes looking for me I can ask for a way out of wherever here is," I speculate. My stomach rumbles and I place my hand on it in an attempt to console complaints. My eyes travel to the kitchenette I saw earlier.
"I mean maybe a snack couldn't hurt, he did ask me for a favor," Approaching the cabinets I open them only to find, a small wine bottle that says drink me.
"Oh you've got to be kidding me," I grab the bottle to inspect it, opening the lid I take a whiff, sure enough, coffee. Just like the bottle from before. Running a hand over my face I let out a frustrated groan.
"This is the weirdest dream I've ever had!" I look back at the small bottle still open and still in my hand.
"That’s right… a dream," I ponder for a second and then. "Fuck it," I upturn the bottle and empty its contents into my mouth swallowing it like a cheap tequila shot. The flavor of lattes and espresso fills my taste buds and then it's gone. I put the bottle down and inspect my hands, trying to determine if I have grown or shrunk this time. Nothing.
"Well, I guess that wasn’t so-" I stop when my head smacks something hard above me. Letting out a slew of curses I crouch and cradle my poor crown.
"Ow ok, I guess I grew," Still crouching I look around the room, in my rapid growth it seems I had knocked over a few of the many stacks of books. I adjust so I'm sitting on my bottom and try to gauge my situation.
"Ok well I definitely cannot fit through the door," I say as I see my shoe is now much larger than said door. As I shuffle uncomfortably I hear voices approach.
"Well I don't know where he went I asked him to fetch my things but he has yet to return," a familiar voice grows closer, muffled behind the door.
"But the Duke-" an unfamiliar voice.
"Yes! I am aware the Duke is still expecting me but I cannot leave without my glasses or my relic, I will only be a moment," I let out a small gasp when I realize it's Felix. The door suddenly is pushed open but is stopped by the heel of my shoe.
"Oof! What in the heavens," Felix sounds annoyed and confused. I move my foot so he can open the door properly. He pushes the door open and lets out a gasp when he sees me.
"Hi Felix as you can see I'm kind of in a sticky situation," I attempt a joke.
"The giant!" he yells. Felix lifts a fist and green fire emits from his palm when he opens his hand.
"Oh! No thanks," I say and I quickly kick the door closed careful not to break it. I hear shouting and banging on the other side of the door as I use my foot to keep it closed, trying to find some way out. I grab the couch, which might as well be the size of a Barbie's in comparison to my large size, and place it in front of the door.
"I am ordering you to apprehend this giant!"
"Sorry sir you're not Miss Anka you can't order me to do anything," an exhaustive groan escapes Felix.
"Must I do everything myself?" he grumbles. I crawl over to the desk and start to search the drawers hoping I can find anything to shrink me or even to defend myself. I am not in the mood to be burned by green fire. I finally open the bottom drawer and I find a familiar item. A desert case with flan inside labeled "eat me". Without making any second guesses I upturn the case and drop the flan into my hand, throwing it into my mouth and praying I shrink to a decent size. Squinting my eyes closed I wait and wait, the desert case seeming to grow larger in my hand. When I open my eyes it's bigger than before, not comically so but much too large to appear normal. I stand and realize I'm about as high as the desk.
"Ok toddler size is better but still not great," I sigh. The sound of the door cracking startles me and I run to hide behind the desk. I hear the sound of the couch creaking against the wood floor as it is suddenly pushed a few feet back. I hold my breath and peek around the desk. In walks Felix and a man dressed as what I am assuming a knight.
"Where is it?" Felix mutters under his breath. He lets out a yelp when he notices a pile of books, all open and laying on top of each other. When Felix's back is turned as he attempts to right his collection I make a run for the door.
-
I run and run until my legs ache, not even bothering to keep track of where I am going, I stop to catch my breath, doubling over in a heaving mess. After catching my breath I decide to look at my surroundings, I am caught off guard when I realize I am not surrounded by trees but in fact large mushrooms. I look up and inspect the telltale gills many mushrooms have on their underside, backing up I try to take in the scope of just how large this mushroom is.
"Oh my god," I whisper. I suddenly hear the shuffle of fabric on top of the mushroom and a person peers over the edge. The first thing I notice about this person is that they have pointed ears. I try not to stare but I'm so amazed that I forget to speak.
"Well, who might you be hm?" They lean into their palm looking at me with a sort of annoyance crossed with curiosity.
"Oh um, I-I am uh," I'm still a little shocked and the person seems to take note. They let out a sigh.
"Never seen an elf before have you?" They ask. I decide to refrain from speaking and give a slow nod, flushing with embarrassment.
"I would be surprised if you did, you don't seem to be from around here, in all honesty, you look lost and a little naïve," Suddenly they disappear and toss a rope ladder over the side. "Come, join me," They say. I observe the ladder with a sort of hesitance, giving it a slight tug to be sure it won't fall whilst I climb. Deeming the ladder worthy of my ascension I climb up and onto the mushroom cap. Once I am at the top the person I met is sitting, long draping clothes cover their body. Multiple glass jars of different sizes and shapes surround them. In close proximity, I realize just how tall they are, although I am now the size of a child they still appear to be at least 6 feet in height. Once I settle down next to them, they tilt a glass container in my direction.
"Uhm what is that?" I ask.
"Lotion," they say. I mumble thanks and take some in my hand. It smells of lavender.
"Thank you uh-" I hesitate.
"Saaros," they respond. "So what are you doing here? You appear to be a traveler although that get up is not very travel friendly," I look down at my apron and sweater letting out a laugh.
"Oh yea uh, no I'm just lost and looking for a way out," Saaros eyes me, a smirk forming on their lips.
"Oh? And perhaps it isn't because you are looking for love?" they question. A small undignified escapes me as I feel my face warm.
"N-no, I'm lost and I just need to find a way out, I've only met a few people here and besides it's not like I'm- I'm looking for a man named Felix. He has a red waistcoat and messy looking hair, a-and I think he does magic?" I trail off thinking about Felix. I guess he wasn't bad-looking but he mistook me for someone else and then got scared of me as well. What a strange man Felix is. Saaros leans towards me, their smirk never leaving.
"No! I am not looking for love," I avoid eye contact, hoping to see something that will drag me out of this awkward situation. Saaros lets out a hum.
"Very well then, I however must get going," they stand and start to gather the bottles surrounding them and placing the items into a bag.
"But wait, I'm still lost!" I plead. Without another look at me, Saaros begins to climb down the step ladder they tossed down earlier. I lean over the edge and watch as Saaros descends.
"Could you at least tell me how to get back to my normal size? I'm not usually this small," I call out. Saaros looks up at me, an annoyed expression plastered on their face. They sigh.
"Very well," With one arm holding themselves on the ladder they point with the other. "The right side will allow you to shrink, while the left will allow you to grow, simple enough?" They ask. I give a small nod. They then point their hand in the opposite direction from where I came.
"If you go that direction you may find Blackthorn Hall, there you may find your dear Felix," I flush at their use of "dear" but elected to ignore it.
"Thank you," a small smile forms on my lips. Saaros gives me a nod and continues down the ladder, eventually reaching the floor, and disappearing into the forest. Turning back around I look at the mushroom I am sitting upon.
"Right to shrink left to grow," I mumble to myself. I grab a tiny piece of the left side and take a bite. Suddenly I grow much larger, way too large. My legs now dangling over the side of the mushroom cap.
"Too much," I yelp. I take a bit of the right side, even smaller than the last and I shrink down once again, I look at my surroundings trying to gauge if I am at least my normal height. Deeming myself as being back to normal I ascend down the ladder as well, heading the direction Saaros pointed me to.
-
I follow the path Saaros gave me and once I round a bend I stumble across a creepy-looking manor. It's not that it is unkempt or dirty, it's actually rather beautiful, but something about the particular building is giving off an unsettling aura. I let out a slow long sigh and approach its doors. Once I approach the front I find I am not alone. I see a very very large woman standing in front of the door. The door opens slightly, barely giving me a view of who is on the other side. The woman and whoever is on the other side of the door exchange a few words. I can make out the woman's name is Orion, and that the letter she hands him is an invitation meant for the Duke by the Queen, to attend a dinner. The man thanks Orion and then closes the door. Her posture remains stiff and upright, almost military-like, and as she turns around she spots me.
"Oh uh, hello, is the Duke in there?" I ask. Orion's expression remains inscrutable as she looks down at me from atop the steps. She gives me a slow nod and then sits on the stairs.
"Are you waiting for him?" I question, slowly ascending towards the door.
"I am but a messenger, and the next time a letter is sent I will send it again, it's all I do," She responds.
"Oh um, ok," I respond. Ok, that was strange and kind of cryptic. "Well I'm just gonna-" I point towards the door, but Orion's eyes still look forward into the distance. I let out a small nod and walk up to the door, and then I lightly rap on it.
"He won't answer," Orion suddenly speaks up, never bothering to look at me. Just before I can respond I hear the sound of broken glass and yelling. I open the door and a glass bowl suddenly flies out and narrowly misses Orion's head, who doesn’t react.
"What the hell," I mutter. I run inside to see what the commotion is, not even bothering to second guess myself. The door closes behind me and I am suddenly shrouded in darkness.
"Hello?" I call out, my nerves slowly start to build as I attempt to see through the darkness. Walking forward I hit a wall. Running my hands on it I hear a sound to my right. I look over and once my eyes adjust to the darkness I realize I see the outline of light poking out from under a door. Feeling along the walls, I approach the door until my hand finds a doorknob. I turn it slowly, allowing the door to open, squinting my eyes as the light that comes through blinds me.
When I finally open my eyes I can see the room in front of me. A green dining room with a long table with only two people sitting in it. On the left side is a hearth, a woman with long pale blonde hair slaves over a pot mixing its contents. The two at the table however catch my eye the most. They sit across from each other on the short end of the table, whispering and glaring at the other across from them. The man on the right has long dark hair that is greying, his heavy black and green robes compliment the room perfectly, almost as though this may be his house. The woman on the left has dark leather pants and a white shirt with mesh sleeves showing off her plethora of tattoos. I can't help but think they look familiar. The food in front of them consists of soup and wine, a strange dinner choice. My attention moves back to the woman at the cooking pot. No one has seemed to have noticed me yet. Are those… cat ears? On her head? My face twists with confusion. But something moving in the corner catches my eye. A man with a long purple coat and dark pants perches on a windowsill, high up. I realize he is not wearing a shirt and he too has cat ears. His ears are white to match his long braided hair, and the thing that caught my attention was his equally as whitetail. He catches sight of me and gives me a toothy smile, then winking.
"Why does that man have cat ears and a tail," I catch myself thinking out loud.
"He's an Ilpheta of course," I quickly turn my head and realize the man at the table has taken notice of me. An almost sinister smirk creeps onto his lips.
"Well, I didn't know cat boys existed," I attempt a joke, feeling awkward that I've been caught in this man's home.
"You don't seem to know very much do you?" The man says it's more of a statement than a question. Feeling insulted I clench my fists. He's technically correct, I really don't know anything about this place but I don’t need him telling me that.
"Now now Escell, no need to insult our guest," the woman says, peeking a glance at me.
"I hardly remember inviting them Scylla," He responds. Suddenly the sound of broken glass catches me off guard. The cook, who I have confirmed now definitely has a tail and ears, is throwing plate wear at the catman on the windowsill. However, he doesn’t respond when they make contact with him. He just continues to pick at something in his teeth while the woman furiously chucks items at him.
"Be careful you're going to hurt someone!" I shout. The sound of the chair creaking across wood startles me and I see the woman Scylla begins to approach me.
'Well you out to be careful lost one," she says, a flirty trill dances across her lips. Scylla stops at the end of the table and picks up a glass of wine, then holding it out to me. Her smile never leaves her lips. I begin to reach for the glass but I stop midway when the cat man speaks up.
"It's poisoned yknow," he says without looking at me.
"What?" Scylla then grabs my wrist and pulls me towards her.
"Just a sip dear, it couldn't hurt," She begins tilting the glass towards my mouth as I struggle to getaway.
"No!" I shout, suddenly a bright flash of light emits from my hand, knocking me backward and onto the floor. I slowly sit up groaning, I open my eyes and I see that Scylla is nowhere to be found, just a bottle of wine, upon further inspection I realize no one else is here. Escell, the catman, and the woman at the hearth are all gone. I slowly rise and pick up the wine bottle. Inspecting its label my breath hitches when all it reads is "Scylla".
"Oh um…" I mutter, I then place the wine bottle on the table and run back out of the manor.
Once my eyes adjust from the darkened halls to the bright sun outside I close the door behind me letting out a sigh. I notice Orion is no longer sitting in her spot atop the steps. I do however see the catman that was inside earlier. He flashes me another smile which takes me aback slightly.
"Um hello," I give a small wave. The catman approaches me, leaning against the wall.
"Well hello to you," I can't help but glance down at his form, his abdomen poking out from his long purple coat. My eyes snap back up to his and I don't miss the smirk he gives me.
"I'm uh, looking for a way out of here, if you know," don’t stare at his abs don’t stare at his abs don’t-
"Well, I could tell you but, not for free," I wince a little.
"I don’t have a lot of money, and I don't even know your name," I explain.
"It's Sage and besides, I'm cheap," he finishes that off with a wink, causing me to flush.
"L-look I just need to be pointed in the right direction, isn't someone free to go wherever they like?" I ask, hoping he takes the bait. Sage ponders for a moment, looking to the side as his tail lashes about behind him.
"Alright," he lifts a gloved finger and points behind me. "If you go down that way you'll find the Holy Knight, she'll be able to help you out, you'll also be able to find the not-so-holy Engineer, both are beautiful in my opinion though, I won't judge you for having a hard time picking between the two," Sage's smile never falters as he speaks.
"I am not looking for love, just a way out," I speak.
"Well, you must be if you've come here,"
"I am not!" My voice pitches a little and my cheeks grow warm. Sage ponders for a second, tapping a finger on his chin.
"You agree a monster is a monster yes?"
"I suppose so," I say, confused by where he is going with this.
"Then you best avoid them, they'll only drag you down, if you can avoid love you can avoid the monsters" Sage takes a slight step back, clasping his hands together in front of him. I look at him with confusion.
"I don't think you're a monster," I say. I may have just met this strange catman, but something about him tells me I can trust him, in some way.
"You should," he says, almost inaudible for me to hear. "U-uh anyways, are you going to the dinner?" Sage asks, dodging the subject he started. I decide to drop it for now.
"Dinner?" I ask. Sage nods, I then recall the conversation Orion had earlier, the Queen is hosting a dinner. "I guess I am a little hungry,"
"You seem like the type to get around," Sage begins to walk down the steps of the manor and I rush to catch up with him.
"W-wait there's something I don't understand," I say. Sage slows down to my pace but continues to walk towards the forest I came from. "What happened to that girl that approached me? Scylla?"
"She's a spirit now," Sage says, still looking forwards.
"What? What do you mean by that?" I turn around to look at the house once more, my head filling with even more confusion.
"Sage-" I turn around to speak with him but he's gone. I turn around looking for any signs of the cat man dressed in purple, but I see nothing. Letting out a groan I turn towards the direction he pointed me to.
"I guess it's time to pay this Holy Knight a visit," I say to myself.

every single question with rory if you would
oh my god-
okay this is a long post I'm so sorry:
1. What’s your oc’s most irrational fear? Is there a specific reason this fear came about?
He's very afraid of going too far.. specifically when in a relationship with someone. His dad was not the best with consent and he saw how much it hurt his mom.. Rory is very careful about consent and if his partner looks even the slightest bit uncomfortable he would feel,, so bad.
2. Is your oc picky about food? What kinds of foods do they like and dislike? What do they consider a comfort or “safe” food?
He's baby he's very picky. He hates seafood. he doesn't like fish. uhhh,, he enjoys chocolate and fruity (hard)candy! also: pasta
3. What does your oc’s voice sound like? (Or, if you have one, what’s their voice claim?) Can they sing, whistle, or roll their rs? Do they have any speech impediments or notable dialects/accents?
He can sing a little, he cant do anything fancy but he has pretty good control. he can whistle really loudly and he uses it to annoy people [cough] amanda [cough]. he cant roll his rs but he will try his hardest. he sounds like alucard from Castlevania and I'm not sorry for that.
4. Is your oc good at keeping secrets?
He's pretty average at it. He tries his best but he's just as prone to slip-ups as the rest of us.
5. What kind of clothes is your oc most comfortable wearing?
He likes something comfortable when he's just hanging out in the castle. but when he has something important to do he likes to dress up a little fancy. he likes capes a lot!!
6. What kind of clothes is your oc least comfortable wearing?
probably like.. something super revealing.. he's still king and the thought of being caught out in something 'indecent' stresses him out a little. he still has a reputation to uphold.
7. What song reminds you of this oc? Does this match up with the type of music your oc likes to listen to?
World's Smallest Violin- AJR def reminds me of Rory. I think Rory would probably listen to similar music too.
8. What’s it like inside your OC's mind? (Literally, or metaphorically.)
Rory has a few worries but overall he's quite good at not letting himself get overwhelmed by things. he's genuinely full of love and it takes a lot out of him to keep all of it inside.
9. What are your oc’s goals for the future? Relationship-wise, career-wise, or other?
he kinda wants to get married. other than that he's fine with the way things are. he's definitely more of a 'in the moment' thinker. he thinks about the future when its important but he prefers to keep his mind in the present.
10. Who’s the first person your oc goes to to talk about something that made them happy? Sad? Angry?
amanda is his #1 go to. he knows that she wont judge him for anything and he's just gone to her for everything since he was a tiny little man. next would be his romantic partner and sean.
11. Does your oc have any interests/hobbies that they hide from everyone? Why do they hide these interests?
he loves collecting things!!! his favorite things to collect are probably bottle caps and coins!! he kind of only hides this because it doesn't ever come up in conversation. if you gave him a cool coin or bottle cap he would love you forever.
12. How does your oc handle talking to somebody they can’t stand? What if it’s a situation where they’re forced to work with this person?
he tries to be civil. but if they continue to piss him off then he'll become really snappy. if he's forced to work with them then he'll probably manage. he'll hate every minute of it, but he knows he has to do it.
13. What’s your oc’s dream home like?
probably something cozy. he likes the castle but it seems like so much space and a lot of it goes unused. it sounds a little silly but he kinda likes the idea of a small house in a nice neighborhood, a place he can know by heart yknow.
14. If your oc spent one day free from any consequences or recognition for their actions, how would they act?
He would probably run away lmao. not forever though, he loves his people and he would rather die than leave them with his father as their only ruler. at the moment he just has no vacation time and a day he can have just for himself would be too good for him to pass up.
15. What’s your oc’s morning routine like?
he wouldn't get up early if amanda didn't wake him up every morning. but usually around 7 or 8 he's out of bed and brushing his teeth. he has a skincare routine that i wont go into because. no. but he usually takes a while to get ready in the morning.
16. What’s your oc’s nighttime routine like?
he takes the LONGEST showers.. he likes to wait until his hair completely dries before going to bed.. so.. he usually goes to be a while after his shower :,,)
17. If your oc had a social media page, what would it be like? What would they post about? How much personal information would they feel comfortable posting on it? How often would they update it?
when he first sets up an account he would probably post about anything and everything he's interested in, after a while he would calm down a bit. he would be almost fully open about who he is online. he's well known anyway, and he has nothing to hide.
18. How does your oc see themself? How does this compare to the way other ocs see them?
He sees himself as a leader (and he is). most people would agree that he gives off 'powerful man' vibes, but the people that he's closest to know that he's just a sweetie.. he's so caring and ready to help anyone that needs it.
19. How would an enemy describe this oc?
they would probably think that he's childish. Rory is very protective of things that have been put under his protection, and he takes any loss very hard. however: Rory is good at what he does and he's always trying his best, so that might leave his enemy more than a little annoyed.
20. What’s a superpower or magical ability that this oc would hate having?
He would hate anything that involved touch.. he likes to be touchy with the people he loves so not being able to do that would upset him a lot.
21. What’s a fact you haven’t shared about this oc?
please.. this man is afraid of monkeys..
22. What’s your oc’s dream job? Is this similar to what they’re doing now? Do they believe they could ever achieve this dream?
he cant really see himself doing anything else. he was raised knowing that he was going to rule a country and he never really thought of doing something else.
23. Who would this oc consider their family? What is their relationship with these people?
his mom maybe. he hates his dad. amanda and sean are def people he considers his family. he grew up with Amanda and she's always helped him with everything. sean has been helping him out since he was fifteen and yknow. they talk about boy stuff. (also basil in that one specific au with squills mafia ocs)
24. What is one thing that, no matter who it’s coming from, would anger your oc?
Please please please, do not compare him to anyone else. he hates being compared to other people, even if its supposed to be a compliment. he spent so long being compared to his dad please just let him be his own person.
25. How does your oc handle sadness?
he doesn't get sad all that often (he usually gets angry as opposed to just.. sad..) but when he is sad he kind of.. tries to ignore it..
26. How does your oc handle anger?
he hates to admit it but he has some trouble controlling his anger... he's good at controlling his other emotions but just.. when he's angry he tends to let go of everything else and its very destructive.
27. How does your oc handle fear?
he's definitely one to ignore fear. He has a very dominant personality and his first instinct is to protect, so he finds himself ignoring his own feelings more often than not.
28. What’s your favorite thing about this oc?
he's so fun,, i love him because he just,,,, he's such a sweetie,,
29. What’s your least favorite thing about this oc?
He's probably one of my most inconsistent ocs.. his personality is somewhat unpredictable and he seems like he's always growing.. and thats a good thing but by god if it isn't hard to keep track of.
30. Tell a random fact about this oc!
he fucking loves dinosaurs.

Spock NSFW Headcanons
these were requested by @jxrdqn, who you should go check out because i like their hair color i can tell they're pretty cool. also, forgive me if these suck, i'm lowkey out of practice. they're also kindof short, although i may add more later down the line
N S F W :
- it's me, back at it again with that self-projecting-onto-characters-i-share-1(one)-similarity-with shit and spock is the PERFECT candidate for these cause i got a lot to say bitch
- SO, to start, mans isn't very experienced because sex is literally mind melding for vulcans. when you've gotta pick someone to like literally share your brain with, you're not just gonna go handing it out to people, yknow? so beforehand he's going to sit you down and have a conversation with you and explain vulcan anatomy and all that stuff
- he's always been kind of reserved, and so he doesn't seem to be hellbent of doin the nasty. in fact, he's probably not the one to bring it up first anyway
- that said Pon Farr hits him like a fuckin bus
- seriously, he's normally so reserved and poised, but when Pon Farr comes around he literally calls in sick and stays in bed all day because he can't get a hold of himself
- he's fidgety, restless even, and he finds himself sweating a little. he might avoid you completely if you haven't ever done anything like that with him before, but when you're next to him? lord save his soul
- it's not that hard to tell that's he's struggling to keep himself off of you, and he even gets a little snappy. touching him just makes it worse, and if the circumstances are right he would very much like it if you- ehem -alleviated him of his condition
- since he doesn't have too much experience under his belt he's probably a little bit ignorant on the topic of kinks. at first he denies he has any, says that it's not really necessary and that they're pointless, but when you convince him to try some things out? oh boy
- the only issue is getting him to admit them.
- in fact, he's so self conscious that he denies himself the satisfaction of initiating anything when he's feeling A Particular Way or just missing that feeling in general. he feels gross for desiring more than he has and it makes him think that's he's selfish for not being content
- but telling him that he's worth a lot to you makes him feel irrationally more self conscious due to his immediate assumption of pity from you. and so the best way, obviously, is to show him how much he means to you
- like yes, kiss him all over and nip at his ears he loves that shit and while you're at it cradle his face in your hands while you're riding him he will be this 👌 close to loosing his shit the whole time
- he's actually not that hard to turn on because he's VERY sensitive around his ears and neck. like, hypersensitive. kissing at his neck while you're in public makes his face and ears go all green and it's no wonder his nickname is “greenbean”
- but the thing is that he's never been big on pda, since it's seen as indecent in his culture. hand-holding is even considered indecent since it's like a whole casual makeout sesh so it's probably gonna take him a bit to do anything like that
- that a he's got more nerves in his hands due to vulcan physiology and so they're very sensitive as well
- so i have a lot of headcanons about vulcan erogenous zones but like to skim it down here's my chart that rates the levels of sensitivity for vulcans:
(red is instant-boner zone, orange is “u tryna get a little frisky” zone, and yellow is “maybe if imagination and/or pon farr is involved but otherwise whatever” zone)
- now notice how the ears, neck, eyelids, hands, abdominal sections, thighs, and pectorals are the most sensitive. vulcans usually wear a lot of clothing that is modest, and more often than not you can see that the neck is covered. its very sensitive and so since it was once practical it's more fashionable with that blast to the past thing with slightly tribal roots
- but sweet jesus is he sensitive in those areas, even without the whole protection from fighting thing
- he will take it to his grave before he admits that he likes a little bit of marking and roughness. that sort of stuff is looked down upon on vulcan, and so he's generally shameful of it. but if you bite this dude while he's railing you against the bed board he might just nut right then and there
- likes scratching too, and likes to have the pain from them the next day as a reminder
- he's not the type to be very loud during the whole thing but when he's getting particularly desperate for that high you're chasing he's definitely going to growl a little and then deny it literally two seconds afterwards
- he can be surprisingly rough, but only with your consent. the thing he wants the least is hurting you without your permission because he views it as a sign of betraying your trust and that can and will fuck him up. like he said already self conscious but having you hate him because he accidentally hurt you? scares the shit out of him
- he does like the idea of resistance as well but he's afraid he won't get the message and take it too far and he'll ruin everything so he just,,,avoids it
- it's one of a the few things he leaves unresolved to resonate, but if you're into that he will be a little more encouraged to approach you about it
- bdsm might not be his thing at first, but he finds himself becoming accustomed to it quickly, merely stating how he can see why people like it rather than saying he does directly
- oral also may not be his thing but after having some experience with it he's more inclined to give rather than receive just because he's that kinda dude. he wants to focus on pleasuring you since really he views you as the ultimate pripority here, even taking your experience above his and doing his best to please you (which i'm sure is more than enough, he's a quick learner)
- on the topic of pleasure specifically, i'd say that he's a switch but mostly a top considering he likes to feel like he's got a hold of something. that, and he likes to put you above him in that aspect so expect him to literally make sure you hit your climax like 5 time starts before settling down
- during his climax his eyes might screw shut and he'll clench his teeth, but that's pretty much it. he might also groan a little but like i said he doesn't really make a lot of noise besides the occasional growl
- he's around 7 inches in length and a pretty good girl of 6.9 inches exactly all around. probably curves towards his abdomen when erect, only vulcans have retractable dicks so when its out its curvin. it also turns a very interesting shade of fleshy green, and the two veins that run down to bottom pulse whenever youre touching him. pretty clean cut and all-around is very embarrassed at any point in time that he's being stared at when hes completely exposed
- nOW for my favorite part, mischellaneous headcanons ;
had no idea what the bdsm meant and lowkey was pretty sure it was a food before being further informed that it was in fact not a food
he blushes a whole lot, and he gets all quiet when he's feeling particularly pent up or turned on
most likely pansexual, since some alien species don't have a set binary or have multiple definitions for orientations, so it's easier just to say that you like pretty people rather than getting into the specifics
i would assume that he has no pubic hair because of vulcans not really growing much hair in general, so you won't have an issue navigating down there
probably thinks that seeing you mad is hot and he literally has no fucking idea why
like seriously if you're fucking livid and like fighting someone at the same time he may just want you to use any remaining rage on him in the bedroom no cap
- to spock, sex is something that requires trust and thought beforehand, and it might take him a while to adjust to some things because of those ideals that have been imposed on him since childhood. it's up to you to help him explore and figure it all out, and in the end it's worth it, promise
- he loves you, and while he doesn't think of sex as everything, he certainly loves that you trust him enough to do so with him of all people

Not So Scary Mary
You wake up from a nightmare in Mary’s apartment. He’s unexpectedly helpful as you try to fall back asleep.
Mary Goore/gender neutral reader, nightmares, Freshly Washed Mary
T for language
You bolt awake.
The dream tumbles after you, the heat of it dissipating but lingering in the clamminess of your skin, the way your heart pounds. You search for anything – details about the dream, anything to grasp onto, to laugh at – you always laugh at your nightmares after they happen, or at least try to – but this one just lingers, vibrant red and sicking to your skin like sand in all the wrong places.
It's not your bed, and not your apartment, so when you spring awake, you can't reach to the same places you do normally, can't reach beside your bed for the old dog plush you got for your sixth birthday, with its flopsy ears worn down over the years and the nose almost gone. You can't take one of the old-man hard candies from your nightstand and suck it against your teeth until you feel its warm flavor all the way down your throat, some sort of normalcy in the face of terror.
You can, in this place, reach for Mary Goore.
Who is already awake.
He's already half-up, blearily wiping his eyes with the heel of his hand. You feel bad – the man barely sleeps as it is, and yet here you are waking him up with something like this-
You forget how pretty he is with all the makeup wiped off.
He looks up at you, hazel eyes almost silver in the darkness, face thin and sharp, lips full and parted. Despite your rude awakening, his expression's clear, face neutral and maybe even a little concerned.
“S-sorry,” you stutter, the heat of the dream clinging to you like spiderwebs, “Just a nightmare-”
“Hey,” he says, resting his long hand on your shoulder, “S'okay. You want some water?”
“Y-yeah.”
He dips over to his side of the bed and hands you a still mostly-full water bottle, crinkled along its edges. He pulls his knees up as you drink, resting his head on one, just watching you drink down some of the cool water. The night's chilled it a bit, and it eases some of the nightmare heat inside you.
You cap it again when you feel you've had enough and try to hand it back, but he just shakes his head, holding up a hand. You put it back on your side.
“You wanna talk about it?” he offers, reaching out and smoothing a hand over your lower back.
You do.
You do- but...
But what would there be to say? You can't even remember the dream – you could talk about how you sometimes just have these nightmares but it strikes you that Mary might think you're being a little bitch about it-
On the other hand, Mary is surprisingly good about this kind of thing. He always has been.
“I just... have nightmares. Sometimes.”
“Yeah?” he murmurs, still stroking your lower back, “Anything about?”
“N...no. I don't think so, anyway. It's just... red when I wake up.”
“Red?”
“The color of your eyelids when it's sunny out.”
“Hm,” he hums, reaching his arm around your waist and leaning his head against you. His hair is clean – you washed it yourself – and it's fluffy where it brushes against you, all soft and wiry. “S' a tough one. Are you scared after 'em?”
You swallow.
You don't want to tell him that his mattress is the only thing that feels safe right now, that you had shivered putting down the water bottle, like it was a raft in a great tumultuous sea, as though his hastily thrown-on sheets were going to keep you safe. That even the moonlight outside twists into something horrid, the lamp you've tripped on six hundred times, the display from the old cassette-clock he convinces you still works becoming something else entirely. You don't want to tell him how long it takes you to feel normal back home, how his apartment – no matter how familiar by daylight – is scaring you.
He doesn't say anything when you fall silent. Instead, he just wraps his arms around you and pulls you back down into the sheets, guiding your head down against his chest, your nose against his ribs and your browbone against his collarbone.
“Shh,” he hushes, so softly, “It's okay.”
“Mare-”
“Shh. I've got you. It's okay. Nothing's gonna get you while I'm here.”
...Oh.
How long have you been wanting to hear that?
To not only be soothed but protected. You don't doubt for a second if anything actually tried to hurt you that Mary would launch at it, ready to fight it off or even kill it.
You sag into his hold, worming your arms around his slim waist, pressing your face more fully into his chest. He's warm, and unexpectedly soft despite how bony he is, and he hushes you quietly, stroking your nape slowly.
“You're...” you mumble, “Surprisingly good at this.”
“Eh, yknow.”
“No, really- you're... good at calming people down. And- you're nice.”
Mary laughs. “Well, my reputation gets outta hand sometimes. People don't believe I can be this feral and nasty and still be nice.”
You try to look up at him, face clean, hair fluffy. You knew he was sweet – you wouldn't be dating him or cuddled into his chest in his apartment if you thought otherwise, but-
No. You see it, here in the dark. The warmth of Mary. The little patient smile.
“You like being nice?”
Mary purses his lips, looking up at the window. “Well, who doesn't?”
“A lot of people think you don't.”
“Do you think that?” he asks, burying his fingers in your hair.
“No,” you say, “You love being nice. But-”
“But...”
“...oh. No, I get it now. The feralness is the niceness. It's-”
The desire to protect, to include, to be warm and to laugh – the violence and the trashiness and all that was that. A reflection, a complement to the kindness and the warmth and his barking laughter.
Mary smiles. His eyes glimmer slightly.
“Hmm,” he hums.
You tuck your head into his chest again, suddenly way too shy at that warm expression. It was usually a smile he smiled at you when he thought you weren't looking, but you'd never caught the full brunt of it, not from two inches away, and not with his arms around you and his legs tangled with yours.
“But yeah, I think you'll be okay.” He murmurs. “I had a lot of nightmares at one point too.”
He pulls you a bit closer, cocooning you against him. “Yeah?”
“Mmhm. Got out of a shitty life, but all of it chased me. Drank a lot to try and keep all of it away but it didn't really work. Anything I didn't deal with during the day, I dealt with at night.”
You breathe for a moment. You never know whether to ask more or not, when he talks about times before anyone here knew him, before he popped into the city covered in blood and screaming.
You choose to say nothing this time. If he tells you, he'll tell you.
“They'll fade. I make a mean cup of chamomile, though, if you can't get back to sleep.”
“Chamomile? You?”
“Yeh.”
He doesn't elaborate further, although you want to press it a bit.
But you figure you're wired as it is, and the proof's in the... tea, so you nod.
He helps you up, slowly – reaches over the side of his bed for a discarded hoodie which he drapes around your shoulders. It sits a little weird there, but it's comfortable, a nice protection against the chill of the night.
The two of you move into the kitchen, past his second-ish-hand couch. He has a stool obviously pilfered from some bar against his counter, and he perches you there as he goes puttering about.
You breathe deeply.
His house- well, his apartment- smells like him. Something old, something like dark hair warmed by the sun, the smell of smoke, this faint peppery thing. You never thought you'd get used to it – at its worst it's boldly organic, almost gross – but like this, settling around you and into your clothing and skin, it's pleasant.
Mary sets the kettle going – you didn't expect him to have one, and it's tiny, but it's enough for two cups of tea. He pulls down two mugs – one that looks like it's real china, a delicate porcelain thing, and the other a sturdy, obviously corporate mug for a bank.
You aren't sure which confuses you more.
“You worked in a bank?”
“Mhm,” he hums, spooning a bit of honey into it, “Kept the building running.”
“Don't you have an arrest record?”
“Didn't then. Helped pay for my first move.”
“Huh.”
He takes down a canister – it's beautiful, covered in intricate, sparkling cloth, a little thing. He pulls off the lid, and a second lid, and smells the contents. “Still fresh.”
He puts the leaves into two small steepers – both shaped like flowers – and covers them over with the freshly boiled water.
He leans back against the counter, humming quietly. You can't pick out the tune, but it's something kind of familiar. Most people knew his growl, but he had a perfectly nice voice when he sang.
He comes over to you, taking your hands in his and swaying your hands back and forth, humming softly. It's kind of weird – like he's playing with a puppet or trying to get you to dance – but you laugh anyway, bouncing your hands along with whatever he's singing, placid-faced and jaunty in his little galley kitchen.
“You're cute,” you tell him, and he sticks out his chin, frowning deeply while still playing with your hands.
“Am not.”
“Are too.”
“Nuh-uh.”
“Yuh-huh.”
“Imma kick your ass.”
“Try me,” you grin up at him, “You're the one singing love songs and dancing with me in your kitchen.”
He flushes, pouting slightly. “Whatever. Can't even hold my sweetheart's hands without someone accusing me of being cute?”
“You really calling me your sweetheart and trying to convince me you're not cute?”
“Shush.”
“Really though,” you say when he lets your hands go, settling your feet up on one of the bars on the stool, “You're such a contradiction sometimes.”
“Con-tro-dik-tee-on? Whazzat?”
“Don't play dumb,” you smirk, “You aren't stupid no matter how much you pretend. You read those academic texts like they're gonna disappear every time your friends bring them over.”
He purses his lips. “Hey, I'm a high-school dropout, you can't be mean to me.”
“What was the title of the last one? A Critique of Foucauldian Governmentality?”
“I'm frankly surprised you remembered that, but yes, and it was a very good article I will have you know.”
“You seemed super into it.”
“I am a slut for Foucault, so.”
You giggle.
He hands you the bank mug, scooping out the steeper with his fingers. He takes up the fine porcelain cup, and even though it's a bit of a contrast – its delicate, blush-pink glaze and gilt handle matching the still-slight flush on his cheeks and the warmth of his eyes in the quiet light of the kitchen – it's not a mismatch. Mary was like that, you think, just a collection of things that didn't seem to go together but felt natural when they were united.
You bump your ankle against his knee, and he shuffles over to you, standing in between your knees. You sip the tea as he does, commenting, “But I like it.”
“Like what?”
“That you're contradictory. Sweet and violent. Depraved but also-” you reach up with your free hand to stroke his jaw, chuckling when he sags into the touch like an eager street cat, “Surprisingly innocent.”
“You want me to show you that depravity?” he growls, grinning and fixing you with a stare that turns your guts to mush.
“Another time, maybe.”
The stare breaks and his expression melts into a little smile. “Aw, okay.”
“I mean, not that I don't want to fuck in your kitchen at 2:54am, and I don't think you're working tomorrow, but...” You shift, sipping more of the tea, “Still feeling kind of fragile.”
“S'okay, you don't gotta qualify why you're not up for it. All I need's the 'no'.”
He dips his head and rests his forehead against yours, closing his eyes and continuing to hum, the pretty, petal-like cup held close in his hands. You think you might want to lean up, to kiss his plush lips, but you don't. It's too late, and the chamomile is working, and your shoulders are slumping. You'd probably fall asleep kissing him.
Maybe another time for that, though. That sounds really nice.
He notices. Of course he does. And without complaint, he sets your cups on the counter and picks you up, cradling you against his shoulder. You feel like a kid again, passed out in the car, the same comfort of being brought inside and tucked in.
He sets you down again on the mattress, huffing a breath when he loses his grip on you. He gently pries the covers out from under you, settling them over your shoulders, batting away your hands when you try to help.
He climbs under the covers too, tugging his pillow closer and shimmying up alongside you, tucking his ankle against yours. You're drifting now, the chamomile and the quiet of his apartment and that familiar scent of him all lulling you back to sleep, but you still feel it when he gently kisses your forehead, smooths his fingers along your scalp, and murmurs, “No more bad dreams, now.”

@starttheanarchy from X
A rumbling high pitched cry of a living creature, the soft hum of a laser heating up. Before the spiderant can fully leave the ground in its attempt to launch itself at the red head, a quick shot from the head of DT turns it into ash. Moments later the large floating torso of a robot moves its way over to where the rest of the spiderants are and begins clearing the area with ease. "To be fair DT is a floating robot, I should get props for him being able to lift anything over a tonne at all." Is all she can say as she watches her creation be used not exactly for what she had originally intended.
A noise of agreement left her as she nodded her head, this was a mess that she was playing catch up on. Every step revealed a new and sometimes old issues or problems, and untold horrors that would explain some of the residents insanity.
"Oh so what am I suppose to not fight back and die? Self-defense is a thing." She keeps her lips tight on the actual number of people, she knows it is higher then she ever wanted.
Another reason to the countless hours she was stuck away while the others rested. But that is a mental spiral that no one has seen yet even herself, and Gaige wasn't going to break that record.
"Do you realize that it doesn't matter who, I would still be here. I would cause just as much chaos even if it was Maliwan or Torgue, the company doesn't matter, it is the enormity of the actions that are taking place that I have a grievance against. So once I am done with this, I got a whole check list to work through."
A small tsk as her eyes roll once more, she could already feel the odd ache from rolling them too often. But to want the title of tyrant why trying to claim being a hero? And he was calling her a hypocrite, the gall. But then there is silence after her offer. It is enough to get her to move forwards, the area now clear of deadly wildlife, and to sit down on top one of the ridges. And she could hear him begin in her ear, truly starting fro the beginning.
Her hand goes to her vault buckle, slipping it off and clicking it open to show a hidden system of her own design. A small holoscreen flickered to life above it and she began to take notes, to be able to keep her questions to herself and not interrupt. But before she could really take much, she had to slowly turn her eyes back to that giant floating H as he began to talk about the first real blood shed the station ever saw. No one deserved that kind of fate, let alone those who can't even fight back. And she could understand why loaders were used for what they are, even if there had been enough time to design something new.
Through out the whole story she let out the occasional hum or tsk in reaction, but also to let the man on the other side of the echo understand she was still listening.
A mechanic on Concordia? Something to ask others later on, there couldn't be many considering the lack of them on Pandora. As well as to ask on the reason why for the initial no considering at that point the vault hunters as far as she was aware had no issues with Hyperion, let alone Jack.
And she was torn on the laser because she could understand the pain of such handwork just ripped away. And she had a vague idea on how challenging it was with the laser that rested inside DT's head. But at the same time, she would never want anyone to have a laser of that magnitude considering if it could do that to a bandit settlement. Well it would only be a few tweaks away from being able to glass planets.
She paused in her notes when he mentioned seeing everything, it was hard to believe but there was something in his voice that made her believe he certainly saw something he shouldn't have. Gaige was going to have to go back onto that one on a different day since she could tell that right now was a horrible time to do so. And even as he talked about what Lilith did and the reason why he wore a mask, she could head just how this was not the cocky Jack from earlier.
This was a person who was done but still going. Something that it seemed being near Pandora did to people.
"Well I would say quit your day job regardless and stop all this without anymore murder. But we both know we are too far in to be willing to stop." A small click as she closed the cover on the buckle to once more hide away her person little holounit that stored information that she kept only for herself. The notes saved for review for another day. "I do have questions, but you sound..... Rough. Would you rather a topic change? Or just end this call? I do have things to do, and I'm sure you have plenty of ill placed paper work to finish."
Although it was given reluctantly, Jack agreed. It was impressive that she'd learned how to do those kinds of things at her age.
"Yeah, whatever. I'll give you that one. You also get props for making it look so ugly, just thought it was a bold move. Yknow? You know."
... What? He couldn't be totally nice.
"Sure. Self defense. Like when you stroll into someone else's town, someone shoots at you so you obliterate the entire population! That kinda self defense? Cause that's the kind that we've both partaken in, right?"
A small chuckle slipped past Jack's lips, and though he let the fact that she ignored his question slide, he kept the thought tucked away for later.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say, kid. Must be nice not to have a personal reason for doing all this." Had he said too much? "I mean, you must feel great getting all tucked up in your bed at night, snuggled up with your teddy bear, thinking about what a productive day you've had, while I've got widows and widowers moping about 'cause the vault hunters murdered their significant others while they were trying to do their jobs. Hope you rest easy, champ."
Sometimes Jack really did consider quitting. Leaving Hyperion for good. Taking Angel, maybe Nisha if she would, go back to Tantalus and live a quiet life.
Hah. A quiet life. In this universe? What a joke.
"Mhm. Too many eggs in one basket, right?" he sighed, shaking his head and letting his pen drop back onto the desk, satisfied that he'd done enough work to subdue his poor PA for now, "Don't even think I'd remember what I did before this whole fiasco if I tried."
Wait, wait, wait...
What?
She was actually... asking him? Not-...
Jack swallowed hard, "I- Uh... I don't..." he shook his head, brows furrowing deeper and he continued, "I don't really know what you'd have questions about, but... To Hell with it, shoot. Ask whatever the Hell you want, but keep in mind I will be drinking."
He leaned down, reaching into his coat pocket and pulling out a small metal flask, flipping the cap up and taking a long drink. Exhaling sharply, he turned back to the echo.
"Alright. Go for it."
#i hope this was okay !! im sorry the length is so different too :)#it could've been paradise // borderlands 2

GIVE US THE NEW WARRIORS HEADCANONS UR REDESIGNS ARE AMAZINGJAKMAKWJDKSL💖💖💖
aaaa omG thank you!! :’D I’m actually strangely attached to these characters so I’ll try to do my best to explain the design choices I made and everything
ok so here we go.
SCREENTIME
* first off
* Not an entirely bad name??
* I would prefer Worm tho as a reference to the Morris Worm
* And I did make his design a little more wormy. Kinda Doc Ock-ish.
* So his tragic backstory... Well. Long long ago... when he was just a little kid... his dad fucked his mom.
* Jkjkjkjk. But it would be better than fucking “internet gas.”
* To take this in a darker route, I think it would be cool if his grandad had been experimenting with creating cyborgs and turned his dad into one. And then turned Screentime into one. So Screentime escaped sort of half-finished and is just trying to help others who might mirror his situation of abuse.
* I like to think his first superhero story was he was just like fucking buying bulk ramen and then hears a dude harassing a girl in the next aisle over and is like. huh. word. guess I can intimidate this guy by threatening to take his fucking social security and make it public knowledge.
* Bc he can hook up to the internet and updates his database frequently so he can just Mr. Robot people.
* He’s probably like 18 or 19. Never was schooled and college is kinda pointless when you have the whole internet in your brain.
* So he’s just living in a rundown apartment. Payin bills by doing odd jobs and doin bitcoin stocks.
* On the battlefield, he’d definitely be a mind games kind of guy, but he’d also use his worm limbs for dexterity and could probably discharge bursts of electricity at the cost of losing some information in his database.
* Also it’s probably really hard to tell, but Screentime is my favorite out of the original designs.
TRAILBLAZER
* again! Not a bad name at all!
* Made me think of fire though... and hiking... so
* We really don’t have much information on these characters so they were kinda fun to play around w and I think she was my favorite in terms of concepts.
* Also what the fuck are those red things on her head am I just fucking dumb???
* They look like devil horns. So I’m gonna run with it.
* Ok so she got a backpack from a god.
* Well that god was a god of Hell and also her godfather. Her actual father was another god of Hell. And idk how gods really work in the Marvel universe?? But I think there’s probably at least some high-ranking demons of Hell. I think Hell exists??? If I remember Doctor Strange correctly? (Maybe not Doctor Strange... bro everything is so hard to keep up with)
* Anyway, her dad was killed by some hero traveling through Hell at some point probably. And so she’s been preparing since to go avenge him.
* Then she gets to earth and is kinda like... well, avenging can wait.
* And the reason she can’t just get anything she wants out of the backpacks is because the backpacks are alive. But over time as she gains their trust, they start to become more and more useful. So, like magikarp to gyarados.
* her outfit was so fucking hard to redesign. like,,, I still don’t like it. The backpacks and stuff yes. Everything else no. But it’s better than the Neon Nightmare.
* Her powerset shouldn’t be limited to just her backpacks though. I saw a lot of people complain about that. Bc anyone could steal them from her and use them?
* So I think she should have superhuman strength. Also, her backpacks should only respond to her command. It’d be cute if they were also kinda cheeky about it. Bc yeah she’s a spoiled little brat. But she’s their spoiled little brat so they’re not opening up for anybody but her.
* She’s defo the youngest of the group
* Even if she is an immortal demon kid lol
S
bro I can’t even say it
I’m renaming them Shuriken. Effective immediately.
SHURIKEN
* So Shuriken is non-binary. Which I think is really cool! They’re not the first non-binary character that Marvel has,, bc Loki exists,, but while they’re not a good step forward... they’re a step forward nonetheless and I kinda commend them for at least trying.
* But goddamnit why did they have to go and name them S
* Sn
* please don’t make me say it
* So Shuriken has ice powers that are sort of threatening to take them over. Like if Iceman couldn’t control his powers ig. Their powers sort of came to them mysteriously in the middle of them already having a gender crisis and high school is happening and all that blah and now they’re just like,,, so ,, “superheroing seems to be a good venture right now. Maybe I’ll find myself in heroics and forget about everything else”
* And most of the heroic ideal is on their brother, ,,,, uh,,,, Quarterback,,, who idolizes the “classic” heroes like Cap, Iron Man, and Thor.
* Shuriken prefers reading news stories about Night Slasher and Punisher, Jessica Jones, and just generally, the other edgier heroes.
* But because their brother idolizes heroics so much, it makes it sort of a surprise when Shuriken takes up their mantle before Quarterback realizes anything is going on.
* And how does the ice stuff affect them? They’re sort of on the fence about finding a cure and whatnot. Most people speculate its like later-in-life mutation, but Shuriken isn’t satisfied with this answer.
*they sometimes chop off the spiky ice parts for convenience(they have no feeling in the frozen over parts of their body)
*(I’m toying with the idea of them having a crush on Ms. Marvel ngl)
QUARTERBACK
* not much to say about him? Other than goddamn that neon was terrible.
* Also I’ve seen jocks wear pink, so some youtube dudes complaining about that can fuck off. Maybe not that bright of a shade?
* But I figure with a defensive character, you would definitely want a bulkier frame. At least Power Man levels of a bulky frame? Like I’m not talking Hulk or Thing. Just.. yknow. At least a good Cap size dude.
* Also a blockier costume would make sense. Since he’s supposed to be. Uh. Safe. For people to like,, crowd behind. Like a safe
* Like a safe sp
* Like a
* safespace.
* I also like to think he was sort of a stereotypical jock and then here comes his little sibling (by like,, 7 minutes) who’s finally just like “yo fuck the gender spectrum” and so he finally opens up to his own interests that he’s been burying
* Like the color coral
* Which is definitely not pink my dudiest of dudes ;)
* He’s definitely more
* CHILL
* than Shuriken about the whole ice taking over his body thing. Like, at the end of the day, he’s still a jock even if he did turn out to be a mutant. Like , the world didn’t just end because he’s got some cool ice powers
* Also only being able to create a shield if it’s for others?? What a fucking joke man come on
* He can create platforms of ice and just mainly uses the ice as shields.
B-NEGATIVE
* OK THIS IS MY SON
* not the original he kinda just looked like he took one look at Welcome to the Black Parade and said “I can do that outfit. But crappier.”
* Listen,,,, I constructed a son
* It’s like that thing from that movie
* I was like
* “We can rebuild him...”
* is that fucking robocop
* At any rate, yeah yeah, Morbius stuff is still withstanding
* What if
* And hear me out
* His parents were sort of antivax sort of anti-mutant sort of folk. They get into some sort of car accident when he’s kinda young. He gets a blood transfusion against his parent’s wishes and in the end also gets adopted by this weirdass doctor who probably has some nefarious purpose, considering he used Morbius’ blood in the first place.
* This would explain how he could survive having vampirism since a doctor would probably have easier access to donated blood and stuff.
* Should the blood be going to people who actually need a transfusion? yes, however, this doctor is clearly ,, off his fucking rocker and corrupt as hell,, and what is his purpose?? The world may never know
* I don’t think B-Negative cares about anything. Like he just seems like that kind of character? Totally and inherently aloof and selfish because he’s just been fed blood on a silver spoon his whole life?
* Just does not care
* He does care about music though. Specifically rock(alternative, punk, hard, etc) and the history of it.
* me personally I really like Pink Floyd and I’m not going to,, shove my beliefs onto a character but
* I’m going to shove my beliefs onto a character and say his favorite song of all time is probably Welcome to the Machine
* And he probably will not shut up about how righteous of a song it is and how pertinent the message is
* Bc I think it fits,,, a lot of things about the stuff I’ve wrote with the backstories of these characters
* and yes
* he can perfectly mimic Great Gig in the Sky. the man!! has pipes!!!
* I also think it would be cool if he’s the oldest of them? Like, younger than 21 but he’s out of high school. Just trying to get a bachelors in music history at fuckin uh. NYU probably.
* he unironically likes twilight

frame me up on your wall
prompt fill for the rnm kink meme! prompt is here. rated E.
and here it is on ao3
Contains: emotional sex, Alex taking Michael apart with ruthless care, yknow, just normal everyday stuff around here
It’s never been a thing, really, that Michael stays hard after they’ve finished, could come again and again long after Alex has been exhausted and spent. Alex satisfies him, always, and that’s that. Sometimes Alex will order him to jack himself off one more time after they’ve come together and watch, tongue against his bottom lip, heat in his eyes. It isn’t a thing until Alex wants it to be, until he takes matters into his own hands.
It starts…
Well. It doesn’t start at any one place at any one time, so much as it builds from fumbles in the dark to aching, sweat-slicked arching together, to Alex moving and flexing his stomach, his hips, head tipped back as he rides Michael, using him for his own pleasure—but it’s that last time that Michael first sees the spark of it in Alex’s eye for what it is, when Alex comes, grinning and shuddering with his eyes fluttering shut, the working of his body pulling Michael along with him before he’s finished riding out the aftershocks. He tips over on his side to curl up into Michael’s chest, one hand scritching through his chest hair, the other drifting down to wrap gently around Michael where he’s still rock hard. Michael twitches away a bit on instinct at the oversensitivity, and Alex lets out a pleased little hum.
Michael’s laugh is breathy, and he turns his head to kiss the top of Alex’s and mutter into his hair, “I know a plotting noise when I hear one. How afraid should I be right now?”
Alex just laughs along with him and lifts his head up for a real kiss, and that’s how Michael knows the answer is very.
A few days pass—teasing days, days where Alex will rile him up with little touches, lingering, open-mouth kisses, then leave him wanting, whimpering and rolling his head against Alex’s shoulder.
“Why are you doing this,” he whines, headbutting him lightly.
“Just want to collect the best possible data,” Alex replies cheerfully, tugging his hair to force his head back and away, making him moan at the deep sting. “Call it scientific curiosity. You’re into that kind of thing, right?”
“You’re into cruel and unusual punishment.”
“Drama queen.”
By the third day of this, it takes nothing, nothing at all, to get Michael hard and aching, so it’s a profound, sweet relief when Alex slips straight into bed and climbs on top of him, letting Michael bear his whole body weight to kiss him.
And he kisses him. Pinned to the bed, Alex’s hand firm on his jaw, thumb on his vulnerable throat, Michael is possessed and owned and gasping for air he doesn’t really need, because everything he needs is Alex, and what Alex is ready to give him.
He can’t help himself, already hard, from hooking his leg around Alex’s waist, slipping down so his calf rests against the curve of Alex’s ass, rubbing himself against his hip and ready to come in his pants like a teenager. Alex laughs and bites his bottom lip, letting him go at it all sloppy and eager for pleasure, no matter what Alex has in store for him tonight.
“Go ahead, if you’re so eager to get started,” Alex says. He grips Michael’s ass firmly, grinding their bodies together, taking control of Michael’s clumsy rhythm. Given permission, Michael bucks and comes, but it’s not enough, not nearly, and he shudders in Alex’s arms at the twitching, ultra-sensitive aftershocks zipping across his nerves.
“Fuck,” he breathes, nosing against the hollow right behind Alex’s ear and inhaling as he tries to recover. Alex massages the back of his neck, giving him this moment, until he grabs the soft curls at the base of his skull and tugs him away again.
“Undress.”
Alex rolls off him, and Michael scrambles to obey, shucking off his pants; he’s barely kicked them off his ankles when Alex’s hands are on him again, pulling him into position, and he tries to stay as still and good as he can, wherever Alex puts him. He lets out a h-hah—when Alex wraps a hand loosely around the base of his cock, nudging his legs wide apart to lay between them.
“How long will it take before you beg me, I wonder. For relief, for mercy—either one, really.”
His grin is so beautiful, so fierce, Michael gulps and clenches his hands at his sides, not having permission to reach down and run his fingers through that soft, dark hair. Adrenaline spikes in his blood at the look in those eyes, and he cries out, helpless, when Alex ducks to lap at a streak of come left from before.
“I want to hear you beg,” he says, licking his lips, those dark, dark eyes locking onto Michael’s again, pinning him in place like a mouse cornered by a cat.
“Alex,” he replies, voice all cracked open and pleading already, and maybe he isn’t begging yet, not really, but he’ll do anything, be anything, Alex wants.
“That’s a good start.”
He takes the head of Michael’s cock into his mouth, just the tip, and rests it there on his tongue, so soft and wet and hot and Michael cries out but doesn’t, doesn’t thrust up into it. He’s so sensitive that every tiny fluctuation of Alex’s tongue sends him twisting and shuddering, and—
Alex sinks down, and he can’t help himself, can’t help but rock up into it, not thrusting but curling around that point of unbearable pleasure, knees rucking up to frame Alex’s head, toes curling helplessly in the air when Alex sucks hard, the pressure making him clench up, every muscle he has.
Then Alex is gone, leaving him cold and pulling the first “Please—” from his lips, already, because Alex told him to beg, and he wants, wants to be good for him.
“Just cleaning you up,” Alex teases, sitting up and gently easing Michael’s legs back down to the bed.
“Alex, please.”
“Hm. Well, since you asked so nicely.”
And then his mouth is back all liquid and hot and Michael lets out a cracked moan to the ceiling, back arching while his hips stay still on the bed right where Alex holds him. His second orgasm comes so fast on the heels of the first, still so, so sensitive, urged on by the expert working of Alex’s tongue on his shaft, the seal of his lips, the soft perfection of his mouth. Alex lets him come right down his throat, pulls off wiping his mouth and swallowing one more time, smug satisfaction in every line of his rubbed-red smile.
He crawls up Michael’s body to kiss him, grab a fistful of curls and direct him just the way he likes, and Michael holds himself all limp to follow orders. He tastes himself on top of Alex, and it makes him shudder under every single touch.
Then Alex is pulling away, kneeling up to fetch the bottle of lube on the bed beside them. The loss of his attention, even for a second, is a cold shock that has Michael reaching out for him until he comes back, hitches Michael’s thighs around his hips.
“Don’t worry, Michael,” Alex croons, “I’m still going to fuck you.” Cool and steady, his fingers pet across Michael’s hole, and Michael arches his hips up, not sure if he’s going toward or away from that teasing touch, and Alex laughs and keeps petting him, never actually sinking a finger inside.
“As soon as you’ve come one more time, then I’ll fuck you. Nice and slow when there’s nothing in your head except for me, my cock inside you, just this side of hurting. Does that sound good?”
All he’s capable of vocalizing is a strangled, whimpering sound, a desperate affirmation, an arch of his back to give Alex all the openness and space he needs to finish taking him apart. And Alex croons wordlessly in return, rewarding him by leaning over and laying sweet kisses across his back and shoulders. His finger sinks inside, and Michael shakes, clenches around it on reflex, grits his teeth on a loud, shuddery moan.
“You’re so hot. Gonna feel so good around me, hm? You always do.”
“H—hhhh—ahh, ‘lex—”
“That’s it. I want to hear you say my name, Michael.” He adds another finger, scissors them apart, stretching Michael’s hole.
“Alex!”
“Good boy.”
Tears bead on Michael’s lashes; he swallows down the lump in his throat and breathes out a shuddery gasp. The sound of a cap behind him—and Michael thinks Alex is adding more lube, hitches his hips up in anticipation, but then it’s Alex’s other hand walking wet fingers up the line of his spine, and Michael breathes in the electric chemical smell of acetone, and he’s already moaning by the time Alex’s fingers get to his mouth. The taste hits his tongue and burns all the way down his throat the way good whiskey does, and Michael takes Alex’s long, lovely fingers down to the knuckle, trying to stuff them in his throat, to take Alex any and every way he can get. He sucks them dry of acetone, until Alex pulls them away and brings them back coated in liquid again, and Michael swallows and swallows.
“That’s it,” Alex purrs. Then his fingers are gone, and Michael tries to breathe better so he doesn’t pass out, works his jaw from the missing of something to stretch it, that extra shade of fullness he can’t help but crave.
The next sound actually is more lube, and a third finger slides inside Michael’s ass, even though he’s so loose and pliant already.
“Please,” he moans.
“One more, Michael. You’re going to give me one more, because you’re good, so good for me—”
God, and then Alex is slicking up his cock, and then he’s working his way inside, and Michael should be spent, it should hurt and sting too bad for him to even get hard again, but he is, again, still, throbbing and aching as Alex strokes him until he bottoms out, and the pain feels so, so good.
Michael’s hands scrabble against the bed, desperate for something to hold onto, fisting the sheets until they spring free of the corners of the mattress, fisting in his own hair and pulling hard, biting his own palm to muffle the pathetic sounds, the grunts and mewls driven out of his throat with every thrust. It hurts, ripe and raw, it’s too, too much, lets and arms so weak he can’t get any leverage.
Everything he is is Alex’s, and Alex takes him. Takes him down and takes him apart. His face is wet with tears, a line of drool at the corner of his open mouth as he surrenders to it, fills his mouth with please, please, please, Alex, please.
“What do you want, Michael? What do you need?”
“F-fuck—” He gasps out as Alex eases into him, lets him fill his lungs up with air, digging pressure against his prostate and making his cock twitch, because he’s close again, somehow, knowing it’s gonna hurt just makes it better, raises goosebumps on every inch of his skin
“Yeah. You can’t even say it, can you? But I know. I know what you need.”
“Always, Alex—Alex—ahh, fuck!”
Alex takes his rhythm back, harder and faster, and wraps his hand around Michael’s cock to bring him along too. And he does have mercy, keeping his touch light but firm, not so much friction Michael tries to squirm away on instinct, but just enough to help him over that edge again, again, again, as many times as Alex wants—
And then Alex comes inside him with a long, sweet moan of his own, Michael’s answering whine high and thin, and Alex, he pulls away even though Michael tries to arch up, tighten up, to keep him in, not ready to be without the fullness and weight of him inside, anchoring him in his body.
Alex hushes him, soothes him by sliding two fingers back inside, not enough but enough to keep him from crying out again. His knuckle nudges Michael’s prostate again, at the same time his hand clenches down and works him more firmly, and that’s it, another orgasm is pulled out of him burning and bruised and sweet like a good, sore muscle, and his toes curl up, and his head goes back, and his eyes roll up in his head, and he loses a little time there, for just a second, to the wordless, pleased, proud rumble of Alex’s voice as he comes in to kiss him, steal the quick and fluttering breath from his lips.
“Oh, Michael,” he says against his mouth. “God, you’re incredible, you did everything I asked, you’re so, so good—"
And Michael believes him, and he floats there for a while, feeling as loose and giving as warm taffy, moving only with Alex’s gentle hands as he cleans them and the bed, not even flinching when he touches him where it’s sore and used and raw. The trickle of water on his skin is cool and sweet, and the world swims behind Michael’s half-closed eyes until the washcloth goes away and takes Alex with it, then the bed dips again and Alex is back, sliding his arm beneath Michael’s heavy head, pulling him into his body.
“Look at you,” Alex murmurs, his thumb smoothing over Michael’s eyebrow and down to rest against his cheek. And Michael smiles to dimple just beneath that touch.
“’M a mess.”
“You’re perfect.”
And there’s a raw tenderness in his voice that makes Michael stir, open his eyes, and look up into his face.
“I’ve had everything of you, and it still isn’t enough,” Alex says, in almost a whisper.
“Doesn’t have to be. Anything you want, it’s yours.”
“I could have you like this every day for the rest of our lives, and I think I’d still want more. It scares me, wanting anything that much.”
His hand skims down Michael’s side, warm against skin that’s cooled off the exertion flush, and Michael lowers his own hand to cover it, press it against his bare stomach.
“I’m yours,” he says, all metaphors deserted in the wake of the peaceful haze Alex has left inside his mind.
Alex bends to kiss his forehead, tugs him so much closer like he’s trying to fuse them together, and Michael closes his eyes, slips a leg between Alex’s thighs, and lets the feeling of their bodies so close carry him away.
#malex#my fic#sorry i didnt get to the sex toys part of the prompt anon pls forgive#enjoy everybody!
