Yahallo~ I was wondering if you might write something for Crocodile x reader where reader is sweet and bubbly and affectionate. So, I've had a scenario in my head for awhile where reader is his wife and she goes to visit him at his casino one day just because he hasn't been home in a while and she misses him. Except she's never actually been to the casino before, much less introduced to most of his crew because she's Crocodile's happy little secret. So the bouncers don't let her in and reader decides to cause a commotion, which draws Crocodile out and I'm never actually sure what happens from there. Lol I'd like it to be mostly warm and fluffy, though. I love the idea of a big cold man being warm only for their lover.

I hope you have a lovely day. You're a beautiful honey bun. ♡〜٩(ㆁωㆁ)۶〜♡

pairing: crocodile x gn!reader

contents: established relationship, fluff, secret relationships, kind!reader, smitten!crocodile, crocodile calls you doll, kind of implied the reader tops him later which i personally think is very powerful of them

word count: 1.3k words

note: this is such a cute and funny idea <33 i took some liberties with this, there is no big scene at the door, just because the kind personality of the reader i was going for clashed with that a little bit. and i went a gender neutral route just because it's easier for me. i hope you still enjoy anyway! i absolutely love secret relationships and would love to do more with crocodile and this trope :3

Not once did you care that you were one of Crocodile’s best kept secrets. You understood why such precautions were necessary. Your husband was a powerful man with countless enemies, to have his one weakness known to all would be a terrible oversight on his part. Not only that, but it would also put you in a considerable amount of danger. You were soft, you weren’t ashamed of it. To remain kind in a cruel world took strength. In your opinion at least.

Sometimes, however, it took more strength than usual to remain understanding. This was one such occasion.

You had your own life outside of your husband, much to his dismay. It was half the reason he insisted on keeping your union under wraps. If Crocodile had it his way, you’d be by his side 24/7, or at the very least, surrounded by bodyguards everytime you left his line of sight. He was a cautious man by nature. One did not achieve the power he had by being reckless, especially not with those he loved.

That said, Crocodile hadn’t been home in days and you were starting to get worried. You knew his work was dangerous, keeping Alabasta safe from pirates was not what you’d call an ‘easy’ job. Instead of waiting around for him to return home on his own — inevitably to grump about the kisses you placed upon his facial scar, or the tender way you ran your fingers through his hair — you decided to seek him out. If there was one place where he would be, it would be at the casino.

Unfortunately for you, they wouldn’t let you in.

“Again, the casino is closed to all outside patrons for an event. I can’t let you in if your name isn’t on the list.” The doorman was starting to get frustrated with you stubbornness. You understood why, really you did. This was his job and you had been pestering him for the better part of thirty minutes. While you had patience, you were no saint. This whole situation was starting to get on your last nerve.

Pinching the bridge of your nose, you let out a sigh. “And I get that, but I’m looking for my husband. I know he’s in there, can’t you go get him for me and we can talk outside the venue?”

The doorman hummed, considering the option. Finally, he gave you the smallest of smiles, the first you had gotten from him the whole night. “That’s doable. What’s his name so I can send someone to fetch him?”

You chewed on your bottom lip. This wasn’t going to go well. How many people tried to sneak their way into events using your husband’s name? For all this man knew, you were another lovesick fan, trying to get a whiff of the hero of Alabasta’s cologne before you were escorted out by security.

Whatever. It wouldn’t hurt to try, you thought.

“Um. Crocodile?”

The doorman burst out laughing, head thrown back and tears spilling down his cheeks. “Listen, you’re a looker, but you’re not that good looking. Now scram, I have a job to do.”

With a deep breath, you tried again. “I’m serious, he’s my husband. Please let me in.”

“Yeah, and I’m the king. Don’t make me call security on you.”

If Crocodile found out that the doorman called security on you, the man’s job would be down the drain before he could say ‘sorry.’ You didn’t want that, even if in your current irritation, you’d feel quite a bit vindicated. It was people like him that kept your husband safe, even if he did so in a rather frustrating manner.

You shuffled your feet, blinking a few times at the man who laughed in your face. Okay, maybe you did want him fired, but you were better than that. Kinder than that.

There was a commotion coming from the casino. You peered behind the doorman to see your husband surrounded by a hoard of Alabastan citizens, all clamoring for his attention. Your heart swelled at the sight of him, relieved to find him safe and sound. As much as you wanted to give him a piece of your mind for worrying you so much, the doorman’s glare was starting to get to you. Now that you knew he was alive, you could wait a little bit longer for Crocodile to return home.

“Well, thank you for your time,” You said as politely as you could. Even then, the words came out forced between clenched teeth.

The doorman merely rolled his eyes in response. Right before you turned your back, you caught your husband’s gaze. Crocodile’s eyebrows shot up at the sight of you, surprise replacing his previous annoyance. Flashing him a small smile and a wave, you turned to make your way home. You barely made it a few steps before Crocodile’s hand was on your shoulder, his grip firm enough to hold you in place. The crowd that surrounded him was gone, off to find someone else to celebrate with — or pester, as Crocodile was prone to say.

“What are you doing here, doll?”

Whipping around, you slotted your hands on your hips and hit your husband with the worst glare you could muster. You tried not to be disappointed when all you were met with was a glimmer of amusement. “Looking for you. It’s been days since you’ve been home, I was starting to get worried.”

Crocodile shrugged and took an inhale of his cigar. “There was no need for you to come here, I was coming home tonight.”

“And how am I supposed to know that if you don’t tell me. I’m not a mind reader,” You shot back.

Crocodile sighed, a cloud of smoke accompanied the action. You really wished he would quit, but you weren’t naive enough to believe you could convince him. The doorman coughed a few times, drawing both you and your husband’s attention. He looked absolutely dumbfounded at the scene playing out in front of him. His mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water, and you had hoped he had enough wherewithal to keep himself hidden so as not to earn your husband’s ire. Evidently not.

“I am so sorry,” The doorman started, hands numbly raised in surrender.

Wow. This man was the biggest idiot you had ever met. Crocodile slowly turned in his direction, a single eyebrow raised.

“You’re sorry?” Your husband's expression split into a furious glower, and for the first time that night, you felt truly sorry for the doorman. “And what are you apologizing for? I better like the answer.”

Before the man could speak, you placed yourself between them. “He was just doing his job, love. No need to get all fussy. Why don’t you walk me home and we can talk more? I’ve missed you.”

Crocodile’s expression softened when you grabbed his arm and leaned into his side. With his flesh hand, he wrapped his arm around your shoulders, pulling you flush against him. Before you left, Crocodile reached around you and into his breast pocket. When he removed his hand, there was a wad of beri in it, a fatter stack than usual. He tossed it at the doorman’s feet.

“Forget what you saw here.” Crocodile narrowed his eyes, his hook glinting in the dull lamplight. “Or I’ll be seeing you again. Privately.”

“Don’t flirt with the poor man, he looks like he’s about to wet himself.”

Crocodile merely grumbled — affectionately, you knew that grumble anywhere — as he started in the direction of your shared home. “I don’t flirt and I don’t fuss, you know this, doll.”

“Bold of you to lie to my face when I’m still not sure if I’ve forgiven you yet.”

You had. It was hard to keep the grin off your face when Crocodile was warm against your side, the scent of him filling your nostrils until your head was fuzzy.

Oh, how you couldn’t wait to kiss him pliant in the comfort of your bed later tonight. For all of Crocodile’s power, you had him absolutely wrapped around your little finger.

[heartofstanding]

best idea ever starter kit.

dysentery: it (probably) killed them both, 7 years apart, so it's surest way to split this ship up and make it tragic and reunite them.

Biting. Henry V will bite.

omg they were tomb mates: probably not but there's a story that's Courtenay's body was actually found within Henry V's tomb. just two dudes sharing a tomb...

Oxford university: Courtenay was chancellor of Oxford and had a fairly... interesting career that included fleeing from Lollard students attacking his lodgings and being threatened by the Archbishop of Canterbury with excommunication by resisting his attempts to root heresy out (he also threatened to excommunicate the Archbishop of Canterbury in turn). He also started efforts to establish a library at Oxford that was assisted by Henry. Also, there's a story that Henry V studied at Oxford that's still perpetuated by Oxford but historians don't think that's true.

booty shorts. In Lenten purple with a Lenten message. Courtenay is a bishop, after all.

The hottie and the nottie. Richard Courtenay was reputedly pretty, Henry V was not.

Money problems. Henry V was pretty broke for most of his time as Prince of Wales, probably because his father was pretty broke as king. Things did not really improve when Henry was in charge of the finances but at least he had experience in living life on a shoe-string. Courtenay was the treasurer of Henry's household as king. Courtenay also had money problems. He died owing Henry money. He owed Oxford money for his room rent. He spent so much while on embassy in France (on vases! and planetary calculators!) that he had to borrow money to go home.

Herbert. Is a weird little dog on the tomb of William Courtenay, Archbishop of Canterbury and Courtenay's uncle and foster-father. He probably had nothing to do with Courtenay/Henry but we felt like he had to be involved. (n.b. I made up his name.)

Monster cans. Sadly, Henry and Courtenay died before they could discover coffee or energy drinks but I like to think in a modern AU, they would be the Eldritch beings whose coffee orders terrify baristas and would drink Monster and only Monster when they weren't terrifying baristas.

Out of a most tender love... here's the anonymous author of the Gesta Henrici Quinti on Courtenay's death and Henry's order for him to be buried in the shrine of Edward the Confessor.

The Prick of Conscience. A serious medieval religious text. Why are you laughing.

Ottery St Mary. Courtenay granted a manor to the church at Ottery St Mary so that they would celebrate a mass daily for his and Henry's good estate and for their souls after death. He granted this three months before he died. 🥺

astrology. Courtenay was into it (or used it as a cover for his spying on the French), Henry was suspicious of it.

Swans. Both of them were descended from the de Bohuns and both appear to have used the swan badge for themselves.

face hole. Henry took an arrow to the face (to the depth of 6 inches) at the Battle of Shrewsbury.

embracing in the fires of hell. so, yes, they were medieval Catholics which probably means they had a medieval Catholics understanding of sin. Still, at least when you're burning in the fires of hell, you're still cuddling your bestie <3

matching rings. On the left, the gold relic ring that was found in Courtenay's grave set with an oval ruby. On the right, a detail of Henry V's hands in the earliest known copy of his portrait in which he wears a gold ring set with an oval ring. Is it the same ring or did they just have matching rings? Who knows.

Tomb of Henry V. see above, re: tomb sharing. Courtenay is buried under the steps up to the chantry chapel so his grave is also in this picture.

Patron saints. It's a picture of St Sebastian (gay icon) and St George (Henry's patron saint). I like to think that Henry had a lot of thoughts about St Sebastian given the whole arrow to the face thing.

One of the most loving and the dearest of the king's friends. The author of the Gesta Henrici Quinti on Courtenay.

Tennis balls. The tennis ball incident, or something like it, probably did happen and given Courtenay was closely involved in Henry's embassies in France, he probably knew All About It.

Bad hair. Henry's got the bowl cut, Courtenay probably had the bowl cut with tonsure. I like to think Courtenay made it work but lbr who did.

Two idiots, one hole. It them ❤️

Matching t-shirts. Henry is the cheetah that's threatening to go crazy, Courtenay the dog that's keeping him from going crazy in captivity. You wouldn't separate them, would you?

[harrowharkwife]

mercymorn for the character game :>

aust!!!!!! hello!!!!

favorite thing about them: what's not to love. she's a bitch and a nag (affectionate, joking). she's the patron saint of women in stem. her best friend was a nun. she's terribly unpleasant. she's hysterical. she's so cunty. if you think about Anything about her for more than ten seconds you will just become so, so terribly sad. she would've loved fiona apple. she hated the sexy parties :(. she's responsible for the eighth house being Like That. she's the anatomist. patron saint of perpetuating the cycle. she refused to be a part of a plan that perpetuated reproductive injustice. she misses cristabel like a lung. she socked augustine in the jaw. she killed god.

least favorite thing about them: i mean, the complicity and active participation in imperialism. (she DOES get some points for actively scheming to kill john, in the end there, but that doesn't negate the harm done.) her treatment of harrow throughout HtN. i'd go on but i support women's wrongs <3

favorite line: her clenching her jaw so hard it sounded like ball bearings fed through an industrial grinder. "yuck!! pfaugh!!" "silly buggers" "it's a resurrection beast, honey!! next!! thank you!!" "you're on amphetamines and coke." "alecto! alecto! alecto!" the entire "critical mercymorn, unlovable mercymorn" monologue. ugh i love her so bad

brOTP: cristabel

OTP: cristabel, but also i've been mercymorn/wake-pilled as of late

nOTP: i mean. john jtdtdmdnttnsxrn. dios apate is Fascinating to think about but also i hate him for her rhdxntxjt. id say augustine but mercystine is a huge slay if you love toxic divorce which. i do. so,

random headcanon: was in love with cristabel and never did anything about it. singlehandedly reinvented the concept of faking orgasms, post-Resurrection.

unpopular opinion: loving her instead of giving her the "she's a bitch and a nag and i hate her" treatment, i guess?

song i associate with them: not about love by fiona apple, under the table by fiona apple

favorite picture of them: i am never not thinking about @franzias-cave 's "it is finished" mercymorn gif. horrifying. gorgeous. obsessed

thanks aust!!! i love her this was so fun

[soggypotatoes]

hey ed, it's Pigeon :)

my deepest condolences about the phone. I'm so sorry the world got the best of you in that moment. I'm still really proud of you for taking care of that phone for almost two years :) that's impressive :)

I'm here if you need to hear anything from me--just reply to this and I'll see it, I always do :)

some nice, comforting things you can do for yourself (these are all optional I swear, but sometimes it's nice to have a list on hand when we're not as good at remembering this stuff :) - make tea - wrap yourself in a blanket - breathe - look at the fool on your arm :) - count to your favorite number (what is your favorite number?)

I also wanted to say that the art you made about being the patron saint of desire paths--it spoke to me and it's so lovely, ed :) you have a creative spirit, clearly :)

~🐦

hi pigeon!! I love hearing from you 🥰

thank you.. when you say that it does sound like a long time, for me anyway! Ive been soso careful. it's just frustrating. but it ended up working out well and I have a much more secure phone and case now!

thank you so much for the list 😭😭😭 you're so lovely.. I genuinely just can't think of what I'm meant to do in the moment, but I'll look back at this list and try it out when I need it!! I have a lot of favourite numbers, but I really like 11. it's so defiant, like, no you can't divide me lol. it looks like two guys standing there guarding something or refusing to move. it's also a bit awkward, a bit unloved (nobody does things by 11s), and it's really easy to tell when something is divisible by it. I also really like anything divisible by 3 - 9 is such a good number cause it's 3x3 lol. things divisible by 9 are even better!!! do you have a favourite number?

and thank you!! it was a lovely thing to think about.. I think everyone should take time to think about things like that. do you know what you'd be the patron saint of? you don't have to answer, it's just nice to think about how people would invoke you and what for!

here's a pic of my kitten (mishap) on the balcony, ignore the suffering plant:

[trickstersaint]

listen okay so i first discovered you from your patron saint quiz on uquiz and i shit you not when i say you're one of the main reasons i'm a poet (such a pretentious thing to say but yk). you are SUCH a big inspiration. i relate so much to your work (organized religion yeehaw) BUT ANYWAY i wish you all the best and i hope you get it all figured out someday. much love <33

first of all what a way to be reminded that the patron saint uquiz was posted almost a full year ago. second of all i cannot vocalize how touched and appreciative i am of this. i think you should continue to be pretentious every moment of every day (only way to eventually clear your way through the pretention and hit at something real and true) and i am so so so honored that i could be part of the reason that you write your poetry. knowing that my work inspires + provides a point for you to relate to is more than i can ever hope for when i share my own poetry and i am sending so so so much love back to you <3 organized religion... what a beast. but at least being in the grips of its teeth has brought us all together :)) stop by and talk to me/share your poems anytime. someday we'll all kill god for sure ✊🖤

[buried-stars]

👀👀 rubbing my gay little hands together... 001 + bstars, 002 + shinjiham, 003 + franziska :3 ily

oh god oh fuck (under cut for length lol)

bstars

Favourite character: i love basically everyone but juyoung min i can never forget you

Least Favourite character: FUCK SEUNGYEON WE ALL HATE SEUNGYEON

5 Favourite ships (canon or non-canon): gyu-hyuk/do-yoon, inha/juyoung. that's it. unless you want to see me be really insane.

Character I find most attractive: juyoung

Character I would marry: ...see above

Character I would be best friends with: either inha or do-yoon

A random thought: hyesung definitely would wear heelies

An unpopular opinion: rash verdict is not a happy ending <3

My canon OTP: dont make me choose. gyuyoon & minnow are both basically canon

Non-canon OTP: seil/tae-yeon

Most badass character: inha and juyoung <3 they can girlboss without risking getting too close to the sun

Pairing I am not a fan of: any m/f pair or seil/hyesung

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): actually i don't think any of the characters apply here. like seungyeon sucks but she's supposed to

Favourite friendship: gyu & juyoung or do-yoon & inha. bestie squad

shinjiham

when or if I started shipping it: honestly it wasn't until i played p3p about a year ago where i decided to romance shinji on a whim and it changed my brain chemistry

my thoughts: when you're both doomed by the narrative but you're also desperate for human connection... choosing to love someone you know is on borrowed time... fighting for the sake of someone you may never see again... augh. augh. my heart.

What makes me happy about them: i like to think about them cooking together and minako sneaking scraps to koromaru when she thinks shinji's not looking

What makes me sad about them: what DOESN'T make me sad about them. how many ships do you get where they can BOTH die in the others arms.

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: look i don't CARE that kotone is her canon name she'll always be minako arisato to me

Things I look for in fanfic: ....i'll read anything once! that's the life i live!

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: i'm not into any other shinji pairs but minako "patron saint of bisexuality" could easily go for aigis, yukari, akihiko, mitsuru, saori, rio...

My happily ever after for them: *smiles through my tears* very funny

franziska

How I feel about this character: ive adored her forever and i think she's really funny. her "little brother" is 7 years older than her. that's hysterical. when you're both traumatized but one of you hasn't figured that out yet

All the people I ship romantically with this character: it's literally just adrian

My non-romantic OTP for this character: i mean von karma siblings forever and ever they make me bawl. otherwise i like to think of her as being trucy's doting aunt and it confuses the hell out of phoenix bc he's never seen her be nice before

My unpopular opinion about this character: idk aside from being a frnmy hater i dont think there's anything i outright dislike about most interpretations of her...? i mean i think she doesnt go quite as hard on the fool/whip thing as an adult but idk

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I WISH THEY'D LET HER OUT OF THE BASEMENT I MISS HER SO BAD also she deserved more specific dev. she was robbed.

My OTP: fradrian FOREVER <3

My OT3: n/a

[sparrowmoth]

I think you would be the patron saint of bringing new people into fandoms AND nontraditional fic formatting…like if I’m trying to make a fic formatted as letters, you’re who I should call :)

(yes I’ve read 1-Subject Notebook, College Ruled too many times but consider that it’s my favorite and no number is too many)

i'm........ ANON DAJSKGJKDG THIS IS SO NICE AND SWEET I'M?? sparrow.exe has crashed, attempting to reboot jdkasjgksdjkgds

please this makes me so happy, I'd love to be the patron saint of these things 🥰🥰💖💖 I just!! I'm still trying to reboot the Words part of my brain so if it takes me twenty minutes to respond to this.........

ahhhh absolutely do call me if you wanna write a fic formatted as letters, that would be so cool! I'm extremely passionate about avant-garde styles of writing and I would LOVE to see more experimental and unconventional fics. 1-Subject Notebook is one of my favourite things I've ever written and hearing that someone has been reading it multiple times over is like the best compliment I could ever get on it tbqh so thank you so much for sharing that because yeah 🥰🥰🥰

AND as for bringing new people into fandoms ajdkjaskgdjsk haha I don't know when this became a talent of mine but it's sure fun! 😉

I go by Byrd for short. I'm an intersex autistic trans man, I use it/he pronouns (unless it's funnier or gayer not to), I'm plural, and I'm over 18. I'm also an ex-mormon. Do not fucking proselytize any fucking religion at me. You will be blocked.

I mostly reblog about random shit, but sometimes I'll make original posts and/or respond with my take on a situation - those should be mostly tagged as #byrd chirps.

My exmo tag is #byrd is an exmo. Sometimes, my moot @twiggyfrogblog sends me birds, sometimes other people do too, so if you're looking for fantastic bird posts, the tags #byrd's birds and #ty twiggy! should take you there. Ask games are tagged #byrd's ask games. Transparent gifs are tagged as both #transparent gif and #transparent gifs.

I also have some new tags - #byrd's silly art, which is for my artwork (currently just me tracing photographs to try and wrap my head around concepts like shapes and shading), and #byrd's writing, which is how I tag any posts about my writing.

I am currently writing a fanfic - I've started to try and tag that as #stt and #byrd's silly little fanfic - once someone finds the fic on AO3, I'll put a link in here.

Some of my posts/reblogs contain triggering/heavy/nsfw topics. I do my best to tag these, but I'm not perfect. Let me know if I miss anything. I don't generally tag swearing, and I do use the word queer as a self-identifier unapologetically.

I have a few sideblogs - some of which are currently inactive. I won't link them here - see if you can find them!

I'm friends with Kea, a writer who distributes his work under a pseudonym, and I have his permission to post his writing. Here is my favorite of his, The Model and The Letter.

In addition, I really enjoy helping to name things like fictional characters and whatnot. I have a method that I use that creates original names with meaning - it's not foolproof, but I've come up with some great names through it.

If you need help naming someone/something, feel free to send in an ask at least giving me a few words you'd like associated with the thing - more information is better, though! There's no cost, either - it's a fun exercise in creativity on my end. These will be tagged as #byrd's name game.

SBI Fanfics of the Week (week 52)

A Bird In The Hand by SilverWing15

14/14

(is worth two in the bush)

“You’re so good,” Phil murmurs into his hair, “so bright and strong. Like a star, a little fallen star landed right on my doorstep.” He tucks his nose into Wilbur’s hair and whispers, like a secret, “my little wish come true.”

Wilbur trembles. He feels lost, adrift, and yet all too grounded. Everything is too real to be real. It has to be fake. The words, the gentle touches. All of that will end if--when?--Phil and Techno find Tommy.

He freezes. “Where’s Techno?”

Phil’s arms tighten around him, “he’s out looking for your brother.”

sea glass by n3so

2/3

Some instinctual part of Tommy, whether it came with the wings or the wars, tells him if he doesn't get help he will die. He knows it like he knows the sun rises and he knows he'll wake up drowning. It's a blur how this thought process leads him to Technoblade's cabin, especially considering the man hates him, but at least he won't die alone.

Or

Tommy gets wings in exile and nearly loses them too, so he flees from Logstedshire to Technoblade's cabin for help.

When it's strange to take a walk downstairs by justsummr

20/?

Phil couldn’t turn away, not when the chances of both of the boys being sent to a bad home was so high. He couldn’t look at this eleven year old boy, the one with the fiery blue eyes, and take him from his brother. How could he look at Wilbur who was sixteen and he did best in history and music and turn him down? He couldn’t send either of them away, let alone separate them.

They weren’t just two kids in the system anymore. They weren’t just names in the pile of thousands. Phil had seen them. He’d seen their faces, the homes they'd been too, the people they were. He’d seen them and he knew so much about them. It wasn't just an idea anymore, these boys were real.

or: phil adopts two brothers, wilbur and tommy. and maybe he bit off more than he could chew

2/?

Turning the 'Open' sign to 'Close', Tommy turned off all the lights, before going out and locking the door. He turned the knob just to be sure, before making his way to Techno’s car.

"You're finally done, I see," was the first thing he heard as he opened the door. Tommy huffed as he got in and slammed the door closed, putting the keys into the cup holder and buckling his seatbelt.

"Yeah, yeah, shut the fuck up, where are we eating tonight?" Techno, who had changed his hairstyle to a braid while waiting for Tommy, only gave him a side grin, as he stepped on the pedal and moved the gear, reversing the car.

"You'll see"

Well that isn't fucking ominous at all. Thank you, Technoblade.

Stubble by Lillian_nator

1/1

Tommy gets into a fight at school, and Wilbur's not having any of his shit.

Tommy bites back, he always does. "I'm not fuckin’ sorry."

Wilbur breathes heavily, "You never are.” Looking at Tommy, his frown deepens, the younger’s shoulders are up to his ears with how tense he is, arms crossed, looking outside of the window. He considers reaching out and laying a hand on Tommy’s back, rubbing out the sharp spikes of spine between his shoulders, hearing his little brother sigh in relief. He looks away.

He’s too tired for a fight tonight.

happy holidays by Cypherr

"I will add Phil to this call, Wilbur. Then he'll be all- all mushy and shit. You want to deal with a mushy Phil, huh? I'll do it."

"You don't have the balls," he hissed, narrowing his gaze at the decidedly smug looking blonde he unfortunately called his best friend and pseudo brother.

He’s sitting on the school steps waiting for the bus, and the first thing he thinks is man, I wish Wilbur were here.

Wilbur coos. “I miss you, too!”

“Just come back, Wilbur. It’s been so long!” Tommy gives up and whines.

“It’s been a couple of weeks, Tommy.”

He definitely looks beyond pathetic now, as he pouts. “Isn’t that long enough?”

Or: 5 times Tommy tried convincing his friends to come back to the U.K. and the 1 time it worked.

singing you to sleep by Drhair76

1/1

Half of him wishes that his soulmate could feel what he's feeling- all his pain and anger and hurt and insecurity at the thought of not being wanted.

or, Wilbur goes through his day without his soulmate's song - but at night, it's a different story.

of that which belongs to me by plantform

1/1

With a pout, Tommy whines, “But what if I want to hang out during that time?”

“We can hang out before and after, Tommy!” Wilbur bites his lip to, obviously, hold back laughter. “You’re being- dare I say it- clingy.”

“Shut up, shut up, shut up!” Tommy shrieks. He covers his ears—the effect entirely ruined by the fact his hands are on top of his headphones.

Or: Tommy thinks he's the only possessive one, Wilbur proves him wrong.

[doyelikehaggis]

i’m gay i’m mentally i’ll i’m hungover and i’m new in town this is gonna be such a chaotic ask

i’m on floss’s intro episode but really i’m more invested in the fact that faith and elektra really should’ve been a couple. dammit cbbc

i swear literally half these kids have queer energy?? i mean. liam and frank?? elektra and faith??? tyler? lily? and we’ve talked about johnny. they’re all just so wonderfully varying degrees of queer-coded and we just get more of them in later seasons too-

hey why do both tyler and ryan have episodes where one of the other boys gets a job at a cafe, so they go to the cafe, cause chaos and end up banned. that is an oddly specific similarity

once again thinking about how similar rick and ryan are, and specifically about how it makes so much sense that tyler and ryan were close, since tyler and rick knew each other since burnywood

‘a day in the past’ time!!! the best of the group trip episodes, except maybe that one beach one from like s4

oh my god floss is so tiny in her cute lil green dress???? also i get the feeling the events of this episode had,, an impact on her worldview

we stan feminist rachel in this household, she is an absolute icon??? she deserved better than being stuck working at that house

ahhh another episode of johnny being a dick and also wildly repressed- this kid needs therapy and it honestly kinda pisses me off that they took this gay-coded character with a ton of self-loathing and issues with anger and authority…. and had him join the army.

harry is just vibing wearing a straw hat and honestly? valid

i love how george is trying to correct mike on how to manage children,, he really should’ve seen the problems coming

you know… ryan and johnny really did have a lot in common huh. queer-coded boys who are regularly the villain of the episode, are manipulative and have anger issues, have younger sisters who they’re protective of but also controlling of, and ended up leaving by joining a government service, just after their shitty parent came back into their life-

mo! he was such a wasted character huh. he only got like. 3 episodes that actually explored his past at all, and he was around for like 4 seasons?

johnny calling tee “patron saint of lost causes” as if he isn’t the most annoying bitch at the dg at that point. like i love johnny but. come on

i feel like you could make a really difficult “who said this” quiz with just quotes from johnny and ryan

i’m gonna end this ask but uh. yeah no not gonna be the last ask of the day i’m so sorry

oh god, what a combination. let's go!

Floss' intro episode is a really good one for Faith and Elektra. if cbbc weren't capital 'c' cowards, they would have given them to us.

you're not even wrong, practically all of the kids have queer energy. there's so much potential in all of them!!

that... that IS a specific parallel. huh. very interesting. not that it really has anything to do with it, but it's fun that the parallel is between Tyler and Ryan, two characters who end up with a pretty close dynamic.

oh okay, you led on into that yourself! (you can tell I don't read ahead, I just reply paragraph by paragraph) it does make a lot of sense that Tyler and Ryan were so close when thinking about how similar Ryan and Rick can be at times. I really like the idea of Tyler just being drawn to Ryan initally because of that without really knowing why.

'a day in the past' is truly an iconic episode!

tiny Floss!! honestly, you're probably right.

I will forever adore Rachel, I imagine she probably quit after that day and moved on to a similar job but with a boss who was all for educating about feminism and women's rights and how the treatment that women (and servants in general) was unfair, and made sure that while the kids were playing the parts with some accuracy, that they were learning what was right and wrong at the same time.

whenever I think about Johnny joining the army, I just want to scream. he needed help, not a gun and a ton of more trauma. the kid lashed out at the smallest loss of control due to childhood abuse and they thought the best way to help him through that was... war? it doesn't make any sense. I like to live in an au where Johnny is talked out of joining by everyone. they get him a therapist to talk to instead, telling him that if, after a few sessions, he still thinks the army is what he wants, then they won't stop him. but as the therapist gets him to open up, he begins to see that the army isn't for him; he just wanted to feel in control of something, like he was actively fighting against something, stepping back into the role of protector because he wasn't sure he was good for anything if he wasn't doing that. he's just finished school so he enrolls at college instead, gets in and moves on-campus, where he takes an interest in business and social work for children. maybe he even meets a guy in his classes and they hit it off and he finally understands a part of himself that has been weighing on him for years. give me queer, happy Johnny who does not join the army but has a nice, peaceful life! he realizes he can protect kids like him and Tee, giving him that feeling he so craved, and making a difference to other care kids.

harry was precious with that straw hat. (I loved my one trip to a victorian school, dressing up in the outfits. I only despised the cane.)

yeah, that was a pretty telling sign. just because the guy has seen a few groups of school days for a couple hours a day, does not mean he actually knows the first thing about them. and he simply refused to listen to mike trying to explain that they all live together so they had to be more sensitive and make sure there was no upset, because they wouldn't be able to just go home and forget about it by the next day.

yes!! the Ryan and Johnny parallels are just wonderful. hmm. a gifset may be required for visual proof of this. I will work on this.

Mo was SUCH a wasted character, you're right. just as we're talking about queer-coded characters as well. Mo had some of the biggest queer energy around, specifically around Bailey. but yeah, it bothers me how little they did with him considering everything they had to work with? when he's up in the attic with Tee in his first episode, he says that he and his 'parents' lived in a shed. not only that, but he also said that his 'mum' didn't like him very much, and we saw he reacted with fear to the idea of Mike 'hosing him down' AND he put himself in the corner when he thought he had done something wrong. a lot of this feels implies at least some form of neglect at worse and active abuse at worst. but this was of course never mentioned again. all we got after was the revelation that his 'parents' were actually his grandparents who STOLE HIM from his parents because his grandad thought they were unable to look after him due to their cerebral palsy and from them leaving him alone in the house with the door open at the age of 18 months. there's just a lot to work with and yet? we get like three episodes focused on him then he's gone.

it's funny, Johnny calling Tee 'patron saint of lost causes' like he isn't the exact reason that she is that way. she's always protected him and stuck up for him when everyone else has deemed him unredeemable for the things he's done or said. he is the biggest 'lost cause' in her life and while she's gotten mad at him and tried to 'disown' him a couple of times, she's still been there for him in the end.

don't tempt me, I will absolutely make that quiz.

skdfhsk it's okay!! sorry I couldn't get to this ask (or the rest) sooner, but I'm happy to have so much to reply to now!

[just-another-dionysus-devotee]

You're the saint patron of being rad

Ahhh Ur the best !!!! <3

[backslashdelta]

bells my beloved <33 hope all is well!!! so thought of a lil idea and i thought you'd be the best person to ask obvs. but i have the vibe that noah would be a fob stan, so my question is what would his favourite album, songs, mvs.. etc be? what songs would he sing? puckurt fob duets? 👀 (also love the new theme!!)

Myle my beloved!! What a wonderful question!

You're so right he would absolutely be into FOB I am very very excited to answer this ahhhh

Okayokay so:

Favourite album would have to be Save Rock And Roll. It's the post-hiatus album and they came back and killed it and *saved rock and roll*. Every song is a banger and there's a whole cohesive music video series and it's really just his favourite album of theirs hands down.

Favourite songs is a bit trickier, but here's a list of some that I think he's particularly fond of, in order from newest to oldest:

The Last Of The Real Ones

Church

Irresistible

Novocaine

The Phoenix

The Mighty Fall

I Don't Care

27

This Ain't A Scene

Fame < Infamy

Get Busy Living

The Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes

For favourite music videos, I think he loves the SRAR series for sure. But aside from that, special mentions to:

Irresistible (the original one)

Centuries

I Don't Care

Thnks fr th Mmrs (he especially loves the monkeys)

Sixteen Candles

Also noteworthy, I think Joe would be his favourite member, followed by Andy, then Patrick and Pete are tied.

If he were going to do a FOB song as a solo in the show, I could see Grand Theft Autumn about Quinn when she's still lying about Finn being the baby. "You need him/I could be him/I could be an accident but I'm still trying/And that's more than I can say for him" is PEAK Noah Puckerman trying to step up and be a dad while he thinks Finn is being useless at supporting her. I could also totally see him singing I Don't Care when he's in one of his badboy/self-loathing fazes and wants to act like he doesn't give a shit about anyone or anything.

As for Puckurt duets, hmm... I could maybe see HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON'T. Oh or maybe Fourth of July? I could imagine them taking turns with the "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean any of it/I just got too lonely/In between being young and being right".

W A I T. Stop everything.

Alone Together.

Puck is "I don't know where you're going/But do you got room for one more troubled soul" and Kurt is "I don't know where I'm going/But I don't think I'm coming home". Puck is "Cut me off/I lost my track/It's not my fault/I'm a maniac/It's not funny anymore" and Kurt is "My heart is like a stallion/They love it more when it's broken/Do you wanna feel beautiful".

Yup, that's it, that's their song. Omg I'm obsessed. Gonna add it to my list of gifsets to make I think!

Okay I am going to stop here but this was SO much fun thank you SO much <3

[thatboxylady]

that Otp question list for Jetstorm/Thrust since you're writing that fanfic right now? :3

THANKS it causes me constant pain.

1. Who offers their jacket when the other is cold?

Neither one of them wears jackets. They’re robots. That having been said, if they’re in close proximity, Thrust will notch his engine into a higher gear to kick off some warmth. Jetstorm is built to lose heat as to not cook his internals at high speeds, so his heat sinks and vents can be a real hassle when night falls and the Maximals aren’t giving them the runaround. Having Thrust to act as a personal space-heater is appreciated. 

In humanverse AUs, Thaddeus will offer Jeffery his jacket if need be. Jeffery is almost always guaranteed to turn this down if he’s in earshot of someone else. “The leather clashes with my outfit, sweetheart.” He’ll take it in a heartbeat once they get on the bike, though.  2. Who giggles uncontrollably when the other playfully picks them up? Jetstorm, but it’s that maniac cackling he does throughout the show. Sort of like a rattlesnake’s rattling. The noise is a warning, biker boy. 3. Who compliments the other in front of everyone? Jetstorm does this and his tone makes you think he’s being sarcastic. He’s not. The Maximals and Megatron don’t have to know that, though.  Thrust knows better than to compliment Jetstorm out loud or in too obvious of a way, because the jet will absolutely not shut up about it. You might as well just give Narcissus a whole warehouse full of mirrors. “Who the frag is Narcissus?” “Don’t worry about it, Storm.” 4. Who is more likely to tell the other a pun and what is the other's reaction to the pun? Jetstorm edges Thrust out in this category just barely, because he’s Jetstorm. He lives to run his mouth. Thrust just rolls with the punches as they come and tries not to add fuel to the fire... but sometimes a sigh will get past him. It’s all the acknowledgement that Jetstorm needs to keep being as obnoxious as possible. Thrust uses puns so rarely that when they do stick, Jetstorm is too stunned to react. Other times, Jetstorm goes in for the kill. Thrust is quick to reverse out of harm’s way and make a run for it.   5. When one of them has a bad day, what does the other do to help cheer them up? When Thrust is upset, Jetstorm talks. Sometimes nonstop. Anyone watching (or unfortunately listening) from the outside would view this as counterproductive, but Thrust is... deeply appreciative. Really. The constant stream of thoughts from his friend makes for a good distraction. Jetstorm can be genuinely funny when he wants to be, too. When Jetstorm is upset, Thrust will offer up the idea that they can go out and destroy something. Jetstorm finds that leveling buildings is a great way to relieve stress. 6. If they got to pick what one another wears for a day, what would one another wear? They don’t wear clothes, they’re robots. Jetstorm probably tries to slap some silly bumper stickers on Thrust, though. Probably dumb sayings, but mostly wildly inappropriate. “Just for the day?” “No.” “Please?” “Absolutely not.” Thrust eventually settles for letting Jetstorm put a magnet on him. It says DO YOU FOLLOW PRIMUS THIS CLOSELY? All things considered, it could have been worse. The bike accepts this as a hollow victory. Humanverse Jeffery keeps trying to dress Thaddeus up to make him look more “gay friendly.” Thaddeus can appreciate that, but no, he is not going to wear fishnets to work. Not unless Jeffery wears something else other than rubber pants and thigh-high boots. Sweats and sneakers, maybe. They are an an impasse.  7. Who introduces their partner to their family first? How does it go? They are their own family! Everyone left Jetstorm and Thrust alone and they are very happy by themselves. Most of Thaddeus’ family still deadnames him so introducing them to Jeffery is not an option. Jeffery is not above taking a baseball bat to people he has just met. Megan has him on his payroll for a reason. Someone called him a slur once and he slashed their neck open with a busted beer bottle. 8. In a coffee shop AU, who would be the coffee shop employee and who would be the customer? Thaddeus is the very tired and apathetic employee. Jeffery won’t get coffee unless his favorite barista is there.  9. When they sit side by side, do they touch one another? For example, does one person has their arm around the other, do they sit holding hands, or linked arms, ECT. If Maximals are close by, they’ll put some distance between them. They both understand that it’s best not to... advertise. Especially while Blackarachnia is around. There’s some bad blood there. When they’re on their own, Thrust will bring themselves thisclose and maintain that distance with mechanical precision. He won’t initiate contact unless he knows he has explicit permission. Jetstorm can be touchy.  Jetstorm is the patron saint of Public Displays of Affection and is always grabbing (or otherwise jostling) Thrust around in some capacity when he’s in the mood for it. 10. What is a small thing that one another does to make their partner happy? Thrust is naturally very quiet. When he does start talking, it makes Jetstorm... almost unreasonably happy. Almost, because of course he’s not going to admit to that sentimental drivel. Contrary to popular belief, the jet doesn’t always like listening to the sound of his own voice. Thrust has a nice and smokey vocal codec. It’s nice to hear him put it to good use.  Watching Jetstorm thrash Maximals is always a nice little pick-me-up, Thrust thinks. 11. What would they do to celebrate their one year anniversary? Jetstorm is very loud about it and peppers Thrust in thinly concealed affection. Thrust endures.  12. When did they know that they loved each other, and when did they first tell each other that they loved one another? "We’re... friends?” “Why not?”  There’s never an actual admission between the two of them. It’s just... sort of presumed at a certain point and never discussed further. When an I love you is exchanged for the first time, they don’t make a big deal out of it. They already knew. 13. Who likes to give the other hugs from behind followed by a kiss? Jetstormmmm he’s the King of PDA. 14. Who would make a playlist for the other person? What would be featured on the playlist? Thrust is voiced by Jim Byrnes who is an actual blues singer, so. Thrust. Most definitely. It’s all blues and soft rock.  If Jetstorm did it’d be lots of Elton John. Also (unfortunately) Phil Collins. There’s a song called Bad Romance is in there somewhere. You know which one. 15. Who would bring their partner on a romantic date under the stars? Thrust would be more likely to do it because he knows Jetstorm likes open skies. Jetstorm would do it because he knows Thrust is affectionate like that. Urgh. Horrible. “This is exactly why the spider thought you were Silverbolt, you know.” “Please shut up, Storm. I am begging you.” “Why were you into her, anyways? Was it the tits?” “JETSTORM.” 

[pictureamoebae]

first of all, i just want to thank you for how helpful and resourceful you are in a lot of different areas, but especially when it comes to reshade. you're like the patron saint of reshade in the simblr community. anyway if/when you get back on your reshade spreadlist grind, would you consider possibly making a note of whether or not they're acceptable for gameplay? if not, no worries!

Hi! Thank you for the kind words

A lot of presets don’t note that kind of info, and I don’t go through and try them all myself (I simply don’t have the time) so I wouldn’t be able to with any kind of consistency. 

It’s also a tricky thing to work out, because it depends on different factors. Does suitable for gameplay mean in terms of performance or how it looks? And if it’s the former, performance isn’t going to be the same across the board for all players, but rather is dependent on their PC. Some people can play quite easily with a lot of heavier effects, but some can’t manage more than a bit of colour correction. And that’s before we get into how different versions of ReShade itself have different performance impacts (with the newer 4.x versions being the best of the lot).

So for the moment I won’t be adding in that information because a) the preset author doesn’t always state if they think it’s suitable for gameplay, and b) it’s not possible for me to judge, based on my own standards, what is or isn’t suitable for gameplay in the first place.
