#Cupid Cuddlebug

[jestin-like-a-fool]

Just now realizing that I never actually posted this bc I got distracted towards the end of the year with other things! (´。＿。｀) SOOOOOOO, you all now get to see my smiling critters oc :)

Cupid is the younger step-brother of Bobby Bearhug! Their parents having gotten married when they were younger, Bobby and Cupid are very close. Cupid is likely one of the only critters that can match the lovable bear in sheer strength.

From schoolyard crushes that only want him to do their homework for them to blind dates only looking for a fling and even a few long-term relationships that go sour, Cupid can't seem to hold down anyone for himself but his natural charisma allows him to snag chances at love for others effortlessly. His sister's relationship with Hoppy Hopscotch being a product of his wingman prowess.

"Cupid!" Rushing to his side, emily gives her old friend a nice hug. "Oouhhh its been too long!!" And you bet shes squeezing him. "You have been busy, huh?"

UNPROMPTED // ALWAYS ACCEPTING

" Emily ! "

Arms gladly welcomed the younger angel close, wrapping around her smaller frame in a tight embrace as the two of them spun around mid - air . Even as they came to a stop he seemed reluctant to release her, bright smile on the blond's face.

" I've been just a little busy , but never too busy for you - you know that ! How've you been ? "

The Real Steel Battle Couple being Soft

I love these two so much; they are so underrated. They had less then 10 minutes together in G1 but every second of it was great.

COMMISSIONS OPEN

Random Headcanons:

The two met when the some of the younger members of Cybertron Intelligence went out for drinks, being introduced by their mutual acquaintance, Longarm, who promptly left afterwords, saying he had a “matter of grave importance” to discuss with Highbrow (Because Shockwave playing cupid and arranging a "meetcute" for them to keep Chromia distracted so he can turnaround and offline Highbrow Prime is honestly the funniest thing to me)

Ironhide fell first, instantly smitten with the well-spoken but sharp-tongued fem who has no tolerance for other’s shitty behavior, but Chromia fell harder, endeared by his polite “southern charm” and his readiness to lend a servo or an audial

Despite only officially courting eachother for a few centuries, they are engaged and living together. It’s all very scandalous

Neither particularly care

Ironhide is a cuddlebug and will take any chance to hold Chromia he can get

Chromia pretends to hate it while very clearly thriving on the physical affection

Extremely professional with one another until they are off the clock as a rule of thumb, though there are some notable exceptions

They were caught one time being intimate at the work place where they really shouldn’t have been, but Blurr owed Chromia a favor (and genuinely liked her as one of his few competent coworkers) so he let it slide

while Ironhide has a dozen and one pet names for her (sweetspark, Bluebell, Baby Blue,Chromy, Mia-my-love (said as one word), etc), Chromia calls him exclusively by his full name or Heidi when they are alone

Dating Geraldus

A/n: Don't look at me like that. I tried working on requests but he's infiltrated my mind, running around day and night!!!! He's a cutie and I love him lol, might do spiced headcannons later who knows. I could probably write some more but these are the many thoughts that have been rummaging through my head.

Requested: no lol

Pairing: Harper (Soon-to-be Watcher) Geraldus x gn!Reader

Word Count: 1.7+k

Warnings: Lots of fluff, brief mentions of marriage and having children (no birth mentioned but wonders about similar traits the parents and children share, I want to make it clear I am NOT excluding adoption nor other ways of starting a family!!!), brief food mentions as well, existential dread related to trauma and heavy disassociation towards the end. Reader = Tav, Tav = Reader

You accompany him to his ceremony where he’s named a Watcher! He offers an arm to escort you like a gentleman, and you not-so-secretly get a feel of the upper strength he’s been keeping private. You practically hang off of his elbow the entire evening and he wouldn’t have it any other way. 

Him being fiercely protective of you. Not crossing your boundaries, but keeping an eye open for any signs of danger when you’re around. He knows more than well that you’re capable of taking down enemies on your own but he wants to be someone you can lean on; someone you can look to being your shield against the evils of the world. It’s more than Geraldus wanting to be useful but more of him wanting to keep you safe and protected.

A plethora of nicknames for you. There’s the familiar use of “love” and “dear” with an occasional “my” before the term, but every now and then he calls you his “moonbeam” since you guide his way through the dark. 

You receive plenty of letters when he’s sent away for work. Long and detailed confessions of how he misses your warmth and how he can’t wait to return by your side. He writes dreamy imaginations of how you both would spend time at the current location he’s stuck in. Geraldus even tries his hand at poetry, each line about you.

Send him letters back! He has a growing collection of each note you’ve sent him, the majority are kept close to his nightstand but your most recent ones stay in his pockets while on duty. He likes to reread them in his spare time; memorizing each curve of every stroke of ink in your handwriting. He will also memorize specific phrases or terms of endearment you’ve written.

Meeting his mom! She instantly loves you for what you mean to her son, but makes an effort to get to know you personally as well. She adores when you lend a helping hand around the farm or assist her in making desserts! Geraldus is usually standing still; struck with Cupid’s arrow as he watches you and his mother get along. His heart melts in the beautiful domestic bliss of the moment!

Geraldus makes a daily effort to tell you how much you mean to him, one way or another. He tends to accidentally repeat sentences he’s already said to remind you that the words will always remain truthful. He also likes figuring out which vocabulary can make you shy, with a darted gaze and heated cheeks. He thinks it’s cute when you’re nervous given your reputation as the grand savior of Baldur’s Gate.

Being with you has him realize how much of a touchy cuddlebug he is deep down. Holding your hand, resting his head on your head/shoulder, and keeping a hold around your waist or bicep quickly become some of his favorite activities. Adores to hold you from behind when you are both standing and likes to be held against your chest when laying down in bed. It’s as if he can finally breathe; decompress and embrace the safety of purely you. He doesn’t mean to, but he does smell you when your bodies are intertwined. Your scent is very soothing to him. Very grabby in his sleep as well, he subconsciously wants to keep you close no matter when.

He’s so nervous under your stare; he can’t help feeling flustered. You’re looking at him, every detail about himself is completely bare and out in the open for you to judge. Along with a soft expression filled with adornment from you is, more likely than not, aimed at his direction. It doesn’t help that you can read him like a book. Further in your relationship he grows more confident and sure of himself. 

You can find him tripping over his words early in your relationship, particularly in moments where he’s trying to impress you. A few words of reassurance helps him immensely. 

He loves feeling your fingers between his raven locks. You usually brush his hair in the morning and at night, sometimes giving his scalp a comforting scratch. This is the quickest way to have him asleep in your lap. He snores slightly but is easy to wake if it’s time to get up. 

Geraldus frequently has nightmares. Not only from the incident where you both met but also from the other horrors he’s seen during his work as a Watcher. He despises waking you up in the middle of the night since he hates being bothersome. However, he’ll still selfishly indulge in your comfort after nudging you to consciousness if he can’t handle his fears himself. Pull him close, his pointed ear against the thump of your heartbeat is precisely what he needs as both consolement and a lullaby. 

Every time he thinks of his future, he pictures you. He wants to be yours for the rest of his life and is definitely considering proposing after a couple years of being your significant other. If you have previously expressed wanting children someday, Geraldus could spend hours imagining how amazing parents the two of you would be. It’s almost as if he’s conjuring them into reality with how much he’s thinking. Maybe your daughter will have your nose, maybe your son will have his hair…

His kisses leave you feeling special. He first kisses you with only lip, shaking slightly as he feels blessed by the Gods themselves to have this opportunity with both hands on each side of your face. As the kiss progresses he’ll clumsily add some tongue, but leave you to take control. He likes it when you do. 

With leaving some room for imagination, he really enjoys following your orders. He appreciates a kind tone when telling him to do something more than barking out instructions, but he’s a good boy and will do what’s needed nonetheless. He also appreciates rewards for his good behavior.

His laugh is so loud now that he’s found it again, largely in thanks to you.

Geraldus will always catch you if you were to throw yourself at him, maybe not lift you off the ground but certainly collide his toned body with yours. He might stumble depending on the day and sometimes he’ll even fall over but he'll use his figure to soften the blow. Hold him against yourself nevertheless! Squeeze him tightly when he walks through the door after not seeing him for a while because of his duties! It makes him feel treasured and wanted. 

The Watcher isn’t necessarily a bad cook, but simple is a better word to describe his meals. He has primarily made food for only himself after leaving his mother’s care, but was mainly helping with the side dishes in his youth instead of the main course. Since you’ve lightened his life, he tries to improve as a chef! From experimenting dishes to asking his mother about certain recipes, he’ll be trying his best to make a “Marry Me” meal that’ll make you proud! 

Since Geraldus is gone for duty every now and then, he likes to return with special dates planned. It’s one of the many ways he likes to thank you for your patience and for choosing to stay by his side. Sometimes the dates are fancy, but more often than not they’re inexpensive and personal. Involving your favorites across multiple categories and sweet moments the two of you have previously shared. 

On dates in general, he tends to keep quiet and let you do the talking. He loves to hear about your dreams, aspirations, thoughts, opinions, and how your day went. Listening to how a scenario played out, even if he was there/involved, from your point of view is a joy to him. Yes, you’ll have to be the “He asked for no pickles!” in this relationship but it’s worth it and more. However, if you ask him a question he’s sure to respond. If it’s about a particular topic he may rant a tangent and then promptly apologize. Ask him about his work, he has so much gossip stored that's ready to be shared.

Geraldus does have thoughts about how lucky he is to be yours, and how it almost doesn’t feel real to him. Sometimes, he wonders if he met his end all the way back on that horrible night, and your time together has only been a vision. Or, maybe it’s what was in store for him after his life all along. He also speculates if he's currently going through his passing, and instead of flashing through the memories of his life he’s instead creating new and beautiful ones with you by his side and being named a Watcher. You’ll have to regularly ground him and bring himself back from the deceiving space his trauma has created in his mind. You’re here, He’s here, you two are here together, all of his memories are real, and you are both alive in this very moment. Learning a few breathing practices and taking the time to inhale and exhale with him is something he couldn’t live without. 

On the other side of that coin, he also has moments - very brief moments - where he wonders if you’re a doppelganger. That the real you, who he never had a chance with to begin with, is gone and in your place is this face-stealing creature that has seen him at his realest, weakest, and most vulnerable self. He is quick to brush those thoughts away. If you were a doppelganger, then surely, you would’ve ended him already; you’ve had every chance to do so. On his worst days, he thinks of the latter that wraps around into his “Is this even real?” moments. Ground and breathe with him still, but giving him some extra support through therapy will be beneficial for him for years to come. He still needs a good cry on occasions, hold him close and rub his back while he gets everything off of his chest and starts the day anew. 

He’s all yours; every fiber of his being is under your mercy and you continue to prove that you sweetly care for him. For that, he loves you. He loves you with the gentle thrum of his heart, with every moment shared between you two, with each arrow he aims, and with all of the years that pass.

To you my heart I must resign, O choose me for your Valentine!

(x)

It's that time of the year again when one can post the first (surviving) Valentine's Day's missive in North America, sent by a certain John Graves Simcoe to Sarah "Sally" Townsend on 14 February 1779.

Simcoe, who adorned his poem with two bleeding hearts bearing the initials "J.G.S" and "S.T." pinned together by Cupid's arrow, clearly was in love with her, though, as the poem itself acknowledges, he was aware of the fact that a relationship between them would be difficult; the Townsends, who grudgingly quartered Simcoe, were sympathetic to the rebel cause, to the point the assumption persists that Sarah may have been an informant for her brother Robert Townsend, also known under his intelligence alias Samuel Culper, giving him information on the British she received by cultivating Simcoe's trust.

One such tale goes as far as to name Sarah as the informant who made the capture of John André possible. In the wake of André's execution in Tappan, she supposedly confessed her actions to Simcoe, feeling remorseful that she had helped bring about the death of his close friend. Simcoe, deeply hurt she had betrayed his trust and genuine intentions, is said to have lost interest in her romantically, but still kept her secret.

Of course, the story seems rather a bit over the top; what is known about Sarah is that she was a favourite with British officers stationed in the area, and that she kept Simcoe's poem until her death in 1842. She never married, which caused romantic speculation that Simcoe may have been the love of her life after all. Realistically, I think the sentimental value Sarah clearly felt Simcoe's poem had does not necessarily have romantic connotations; she may have decided to keep it because she felt flattered someone sat down to write a piece of poetry about her, and realistically speaking, how often in one's life does one receive an original, hand-written love poem?

But Sarah would not remain the only lady to treasure a poem written by Simcoe; his wife Elizabeth, an as far as I can tell not infrequent protagonist of his poetry, pinned one she clearly particularly treasured to the pages of her Canadian diary/manuscript which he wrote for her to commemorate their 12th wedding anniversary. If he ever wrote her any Valentine's Day-poetry, I can't tell, but he didn't need any specific occasion to compose some lines about making "my Eliza with true passion burn"- a lot saucier than the comparatively tame poem, which even invokes the virgin goddess Artemis by the epithet "Delia", written to Sarah Townsend (and, of course, he also features the most romantic of all things in the world, urns, as @copper-haired-cuddlebug in particular will be aware of):

Fairest Maid, where all is fair, Beauty’s pride and Nature’s care; To you my heart I must resign, O choose me for your Valentine! Love, Mighty God! Thou know’st full well, Where all thy Mother’s graces dwell, Where they inhabit and combine To fix thy power with spells divine; Thou know’st what powerful magick lies Within the round of Sarah’s eyes, Or darted thence like lightning fires, And Heaven’s own joys around inspires; Thou know’st my heart will always prove The shrine of pure unchanging love! Say; awful God! Since to thy throne Two ways that lead are only known— Here gay Variety presides, And many a youthful circle guides Through paths where lilies, roses sweet, Bloom and decay beneath their feet; Here constancy with sober mien Regardless of the flowery Scene With Myrtle crowned that never fades, In silence seeks the Cypress Shades, Or fixed near Contemplation’s cell, Chief with the Muses loves to dwell, Leads those who inward feel and burn And often clasp the abandon’d urn,– Say, awful God! Did’st thou not prove My heart was formed for Constant love? Thou saw’st me once on every plain To Delia pour the artless strain— Thou wept’sd her death and bad’st me change My happier days no more to range O’er hill, o’er dale, in sweet Employ, Of singing Delia, Nature’s joy; Thou bad’st me change the pastoral scene Forget my Crook; with haughty mien To raise the iron Spear of War, Victim of Grief and deep Despair: Say, must I all my joys forego And still maintain this outward show? Say, shall this breast that’s pained to feel Be ever clad in horrid steel? Nor swell with other joys than those Of conquest o’er unworthy foes? Shall no fair maid with equal fire Awake the flames of soft desire: My bosom born, for transport, burn And raise my thoughts from Delia’s urn? “Fond Youth,” the God of Love replies, “Your answer take from Sarah’s eyes.”

10:17 pm. | lee felix

outcome from my rampage on dota pubs 🥺💓🏹 i dont know a lot about lol having played like thrice so i beg if i made some inaccuracies and as you can tell im more of a dota person >_<

GODLIKE!

DOUBLE KILL!

TRIPLE KILL!

ULTRA KILL!

RAMPAGE!

"oh, damn," you mumble, glancing over the stream of messages your teammates were flooding.

"jesus, bub," felix chides, sitting up from the bed. "give your enemies a break. which hero are you using?" he comes closer to where you were sat onㅡhis gaming chairㅡand sits on a stool next to you. the stool for was whenever one of you decides to spectate a match from either one of you.

"earthshaker," you simply reply. felix cocks his head to the side and giggled.

"i don't know who that is, but judging from the name, you made the earth shake and kill them all?" honestly, you were always amazed at how your boyfriend was so smart when it comes to games like these. but then again, the name already gave it away.

"mhm," you hum, clicking away from the clash to save yourself. "i can't get any good kills on LoL, but i sure do get some sick stats on DOTA." felix laughs.

his mind flashed a memory of your first meetings together: from when the two of you met in a computer café and debated about which moba game was better than the two. things happened (mainly resident cupid han jisung, hwang hyunjin and hesitant cupid kim seungmin) and somehow the two of you were already two years strong.

"do you ever get a rampage on LoL? a penta-kill?" you boast, a smirk curling on your lips. felix rolled his eyes but smiled.

"sometimes, but atleast i don't get swayed by seasonal items and pay a kidney's worth of aesthetics," he counters.

"okay, mr. i cried and bought every k/da skins," you sneer. felix laughs.

"that was a necessity, y/n. k/da is a necessity," he points out. you nod with a sigh, trying to keep your focus on the game. it's not helping when felix transforms into a cuddlebug again, clinging onto your left arm.

"do you want to play with me later? i can use my laptop," you suggest, eyes flickering from the minimap and to your character, and then glanced at felix who was watching intently at the screen.

"hmm. . .if you win this match," he challenges. you raise your brow.

"it's 52-34," you point out. felix nods.

"yeah, but notice that you and the other team only have your base towers left. it's a matter of who gets to destroy them first, and not who gets the most kill. you are all already stacked, so don't get too cocky with the number of your kills."

"curse you and your analytical brain," you mumble, and felix laughs. he cuddles closer to you.

"it's okay. i'll cuddle with you if you lose," he consoles.

"don't give me fake optimism so i can cuddle with you!"
