#I'm going to put him in a blender (affectionate)

[boilingrain]

Being able to eat mid-battle in Genshin is funny to me for the same reasons as doing that same thing in other games. Just like...

Childe: *Yelling about the Gnosis*

Me, shoving shrimp curry down my throat at speeds and amounts that would make the gods weep:

[thevoicefromanotherworld]

"DON'T CRY, BABY"

I JUST WROTE ONE OF THE CUTEST FICS WITH BUCKY I'VE EVER WRITTEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE

I hope you like it! 💙

The first time he saw you, Bucky thought you were a mirage, since it was impossible for him that someone as perfect as you existed.

You were always kind to others, offering to help whenever you could, and when someone felt depressed and weak, you were the one who cheered them up and gave them the strength to keep going.

You had arrived at Avengers Tower a few weeks ago, but that didn't stop the super soldier from noticing you more than usual.

You couldn't say you hadn't noticed him too. Since your arrival, the quiet man with the mysterious aura and metallic arm had caught your attention.

You didn't know anything about him, only that he was the captain's best friend, so at first you were shocked to see that one of his arms was made entirely of metal.

As the weeks passed, you got used to it and realized you had nothing to fear.

Steve explained his story and the reason why one of his arms was metallic, and you automatically empathized with him and his story.

You didn't have a metal arm, but several scientists had experimented on you until you had the "abilities" you currently possessed.

You knew perfectly well what it was like to feel used and discarded, like a broken toy that no longer served the purpose for which it was made in the first place.

"You should talk to him," Steve commented one day while talking to you, gesturing to where his friend was leaning against the tower railing.

"I don't think that's a good idea," you murmured timidly. "I don't think he'll like me"

"That's impossible," Rogers smiled. "You're the kindest person I know," he encouraged you. "I'm sure he'll like you." He shrugged. "He might be a little cold at first, but once you break through that barrier, there's a man worth getting to know."

"Since when did you become so poetic?" —you asked, laughing. He tilted his head toward you, mimicking your gesture-

“Sam recommended I read Shakespeare,” he laughed. “I think it's affected me more than it should have.” He nodded toward his friend. “Go on, everything will be okay.”

“Promise?” you asked nervously. He nodded reassuringly.

“I promise,” he smiled as he affectionately ruffled your hair. “Go on, go.”

You took a few deep breaths and walked over to him. You slowly stood beside him, causing him to turn his head to look at you.

You were wearing a black short-sleeved t-shirt and worn jeans. Bucky thought he'd never seen anyone look so handsome in such basic clothes.

“Hi,” you greeted.

“Hi,” he answered, looking at you. “Something wrong?”

"No, it's just…" you swallowed hard. "Steve told me to talk to you."

"Of course he did," the dark-haired man laughed. "About something in particular?"

"No, just…talking."

"Okay."

"Okay."

You were silent for a few moments before you broke the silence.

"Steve told me your story," you began cautiously. "I wanted to tell you that I completely understand everything you've been through, and… if you want… you can talk to me whenever you need to"

He gave a grateful smile, leaning against the railing with his metal arm, the one you couldn't stop staring at.

"Thanks, Y/N," he whispered. It was the first time he'd called you by your name. "I don't mean to be inconsiderate or anything, but how could you possibly know what I went through?"

"Because I…" you swallowed hard before continuing. It was always hard to talk about that—because they put my brain in the blender too

Bucky's eyes widened in surprise.

Until now, no one had been found who had gone through what he had, and the fact that it was you filled him with rage, as he wanted to personally take it upon himself to kill everyone who had ever laid a hand on you.

He waited patiently for you to continue your story. After a few seconds, you did.

"My mother had a rare disease," you continued. "They said it was incurable. From the day she was diagnosed, I did everything I could to find a cure, an antidote, something that could save her life." You paused. "Until some doctors contacted me." They said I was special and that they knew what my mother was going through, and they wanted to run some tests on me because they thought they could find the cure for her illness in me," you took a deep breath, "so I agreed. They ran several tests on me, some so painful that I can still feel it today," you confessed. "In the end, they didn't find a cure. It was all a lie. All they wanted was a guinea pig to test all their macabre research on a single subject, me," you whispered. "After that, my mother died three months after the diagnosis, just as the doctor had predicted."

Bucky was so shocked he didn't know what to say next. He would never have imagined that someone like you had gone through such a painful situation.

"What happened to the doctors?" he asked softly.

"They won't ruin anyone else's life again," you growled, and that was enough answer for the super soldier.

"I'm so sorry for everything you had to go through, doll," he murmured. Your eyes filled with tears as all the memories of those years came flooding back, making Bucky's heart slam in his chest. "Oh baby, don't cry," he whispered, opening his arms. "Come here."

He took you in his arms, and you rested your head against his chest, breathing in the scent of leather and metal that oozed from the pores of his skin.

You felt him massage your hair in a constant motion up and down your back, slowly calming you.

-Shhh, calm down, I'm here, - he reminded you, placing his other arm on your waist to bring you closer to him. - I'm here, - he repeated in your ear. - No one will ever hurt you again.

-Thank you, - you murmured, your voice broken by tears before slowly separating from him. - I'm sorry… I didn't mean to get like that… it's just that…

-It's okay, doll, I got you - he whispered, hugging you again. - Always

[qrevo]

i can't believe they sent this guy to prison. he was just being a bit silly!! he was just being himself!! he was just! sparkling on!! istg pathetic men can't do anything these days anymore. because of woke 🙄🙄

oohg. aoogh. woaagh

[aventurinnnnie]

If I can't write this fucking chapter I'm going to dissect Sunday Honkai Star Rail

I'm going to put him in a blender (NOT AFFECTIONATE I HATE THAT MOTHERFUCKER, and want to make out with him but we can ignore that part)

WHY IS WRITING SO HARD, my guess is that it's because Ratio is not in this part my sweet darling wife

[starberry-cupcake]

I have made the most 2008 goth forum-like banner I could create to put my liveblogging posts of tlt under because those are the vibes I find appropriate and it gives me nostalgia. If this was 2008 blogspot, you'd be hearing something like HIM's Wings of a Butterfly, or something like that, please picture that.

previously, in gideon the ninth:

this happened

were we are now:

I forced myself to stop reading for the day so I could update a sensible amount and not a thesis length post nobody will read

it wasn't easy to force myself to stop reading

you know how it is

so, turns out that protozoa was dead all along (ish)

people here die and live and kinda live-die and die-live, you know

dulcinea del toboso soraya montenegro septimus was hiding that fact

she has also not mentioned exactly how he died (she said an accident??? harrow said he was stabbed?? what, he fell on a sword heart first????)

I am still not done with her

I still don't trust her

she's gonna die and I'm gonna still think she's scheming

ANYWAY

gideon DID suspect harrow

she had a bit of a crisis over it in front of palmolive's salad

palmolive reacts by taking off and putting on his glasses 25 times

and harrow had my exact thought process of "she's gonna go to dulcinea instead of me if she finds out"

I am very unnerved at how much my thought process and harrow's have aligned so far

very concerned for my mental state

ANYWAY (vol. 2)

palmolive says what I said, that it's not harrowcita's style to kill so sloppily

gideon tells palmolive her past trauma and how all the kids in the ninth except her and harrowbeth died and how she blames herself because harrow kinda had the childhood of asuka langley soryuu in evangelion but worse

palmolive does this

camilla, the moon to my stars, the woman of the year, my qp wife, brings in harrow with a handcuff

so, let me set the scene

there's a guy's head in a box, gideon has told palmolive her life story, and in comes camilla with harrow on a kid harness like she's a scary parent at disneyland

this is a sitcom

anyway, they all go to dulcinea's lair and have a talk with the group

I still kinda stan yandere twin ianthe (sp??), I'm not gonna lie you folks

she's ooky kooky spooky in a fun way

like, deranged (affectionate)

so, as usual, nobody agrees on anything and everyone fights and dulcinea coughs up a hairball

now, harrow and gideon go to the pool

which is salty now, much like gideon

my first thought was "gideon can't swim, she's gonna drown like sonic!!"

but they could stand in the pool apparently so it's fine

I mean, physically it's fine, EMOTIONALLY not so much

it's time to come clean, share trauma and also maybe flirt in the pool, if that's what's going on here

I think it's what's going on

it's hard to tell with them, but there's tension, proximity and hugs and stuff

basically, if I understand correctly, the ninth put all the kids in an infomercial blender and harrowbean was powered into life

but gideon is baby hercules and survived

which explains why she was turned into a blood sprinkler and the next day she was doing push ups like a maniac

I mean, it explains why she could physically do that, not why she thought that's the safe thing to do

so the ninth was like ?????? and feared gideon

and proceded to treat her like konoha treated naruto uzumaki

no adult person in the ninth was making sound decisions, it's what I'm getting at

case in point: ortus and his mom were blown to bits

also, very important

if I understood right, there's a frozen girl in the ninth's fridge tomb

a frozen girl like dr victor fries's wife nora in batman, or hyoga's mom in saint seiya, or han solo

ice cube frozen girl with a sword and chains and the vibe of this specific barbie doll from the haunted beauty collection

it's like if snow white was the apocalypse

you're gonna hate all my references by the end of this

I'm so sorry

there's a threat in a girl, in the ice, in the tomb, in the ninth house, that's the gist of it

and harrow has existential trauma because pretty much every person below the age of 18 died for her to live, so she wants to make it count

and gideon is hercules who comes from elsewhere and has the genes of a demigod or a kryptonian

but all of that doesn't matter, what matters is that harrow says the most metal phrase ever and goes: "I am a war crime"

?????? HELLO?????

and here's the thing (I have told you this @lady-harrowhark ), this is the book @ me every time I discover some truth and I look at my ebook's progress bar

if you're not completely annoyed, I'll be back tomorrow with more reactions to reveals

[shadowknightapologist]

weird question but !!! what kinds of torture are used on our silliest little shadow knights in your rewrite?? does it differentiate based on who it is?

i want to put them in a blender (affectionate)

if he had access to one, gene would prolly wanna put most of them in a blender too

WARNINGS FOR: discussions of torture, drugging, violence. it's dark </3

i feel like i'll end up doing actual research on why and how torture was used historically, and maybe what prompts what methods, but here's something off the top of my head:

physical torture is used to 1) aid the turning process (since the body must be destroyed and rebuilt somehow, and sometimes parts of the body form weaker than they're supposed to, so you have to break them off and try again) and 2) maintain control (because most people don't like being hurt and try to avoid it).

physical tortures include: dehydration/starvation, beatings, breaking bones, severing limbs, burning/branding, disfigurement/maiming.

emotional/psychological torture is used to destroy the knight's ability to rationalize against and reject shad's will. shad doesn't want them fully broken because emotional shadow knights actually serve better than numb ones. the idea is that after the torture/brainwashing takes place, the knight will believe shad cares about them/did it to help them achieve some greater purpose. in the case of knights like laurance, the other intent is to make them too broken to function outside of the nether.

emotional/psychological tortures include: sensory deprivation/overstimulation, sleep deprivation, forced drugging to cause visual and auditory hallucinations, gaslighting, verbal abuse, forced cannibalism.

out of our cast, gene has done the most torturing (since he's largely in charge of the turning process for levelled knights). sasha created potions/drugs that could be used but didn't participate in it herself. both have, of course, been tortured though.

zenix has tortured people and so has laurance (to a lesser extent) after beginning his rebellion. laurance allowed it/did it only to knights loyal to shad when he was trying to get answers, but he still did it. amethyst, vylad, and vincent haven't tortured anyone.

torturing greatly depends on the individual being tortured. sasha doesn't care about being beaten but reacts severely to burning/branding. vylad is the opposite. laurance could handle a surprising amount but being drugged and sensory deprivation was especially harmful to him.

the only type of torture i'm never going to touch is the sexual kind because it just makes me sick 😭😭 i don't think anyone's gonna be upset about that (/silly) but i thought i'd clarify.

[purplemonkeypuppet]

watched italian restaurant elsbeth (s2e14 i think)

wild seeing elsbeth & co in the first like few seconds of the episode

of course elsbeth is gonna reopen some decades old case

love elsbeth not even being supposed to be there and she's just like "kaya! kaya!" and the cops are like oh that's elsbeth let her in

THE CONVERSATION WITH CONNOR AND WAGNER ABOUT KAYA JWHDKEIWGDGJ

connor advocating for kaya! wagner being a sentimental fuck (affectionate)! me realizing why kaya hasn't been promoted yet!

also connor and wagner really balance each other out well as captain and lieutenant damn

no way we're getting fleming lore. don't you make me care about buzz fleming

give me donnelly

anyways where were we. uh i don't have all that much to say about the whole mafia thing but i enjoyed it

no way roy is starting a true crime podcast

i'd break up with him too

that's a joke i love roy he's great and i'm happy he and elsbeth get along so well

it continues to be hilarious that elsbeth and judge guy are married irl

also wagner being cool enough to be able to pull off "you've made a powerful enemy, elsbeth" all dramatic like i love him

wait weren't goldie and pupetta part of the same mafia family? did she fuck her cousin? or am i just getting confused

cause i got confused about that part

oh also why did crawford want to block investigation into the moresco case anyways? just to annoy elsbeth?

how obvious is it that i'm here for the characters way more than the murder plots

like i'm not into procedurals or anything i was captivated specifically by elsbeth being not exactly like me but so much closer than any other character in anything ever

like she's brightly colored and excessively friendly and carries around way too much stuff AND she's smart and capable and mature?

for those of you who like ace attorney i've said before that i would not be any one aa character i'm more like if you put edgeworth kay and gumshoe in a blender and that's also elsbeth

i haven't watched the good wife and i don't particularly want to

i know i was just talking about how much i love elsbeth but if there's no kaya and wagner then what's the point

anyways this episode

i hope teddy and roy stay together :(

and i love how connor knows that kaya and elsbeth work really well together but also knows that they shouldn't hold kaya back

she deserves to be a detective already! she's a freaking legend!

although like. are they actually gonna go through with that? this season?

i don't think this is what they're gonna do but it'd be funny as fuck if they made rivers be her new sidekick

wait or maybe roy? that'd be kinda wild

last but not least i'm a bit afraid to ask but uh. kayabeth shippers how are y'all doing?

[shitpostingkats]

Okay okay okay, since you are at the start of season 2. I need to ask something rq.

What do you think about Soulburner and Flame so far? Soulburner is my favorite personally from the entirety from Vrains, but I also love Flame. So I am very curious to hear what you think about them so far!! SORRY I AM JUST EXCITED GO HEAR PEOPLE'S OPINIONS OF STUFF I LIKE-

Excitement is always welcome in this house, bestie.

I'm having a BLAST with Soulburner, in exactly the way you sometimes look at characters that seems almost suspiciously tailor made to your character tastes. What do you MEAN he's a happy love filled shonen boy with fire and explosions???? AND he's an awkward socially blunt weirdo by day???? Who leaked the file of Spk's Favorite Character Types and decided to throw that into a blender????

LOOK AT THIS SCARF.

How much in-game currency do you think he paid for an animated accessory with a custom particle trail? I'm obsessed.

He's got such a good dynamic with Yusaku, both capable of laser focusing on the task at hand, but Theo does it in such a different font. The only bad thing I can say about him is that I am not capable of following the rapid fire flow of information that is Salamangreats, and my word association brain finds it very weird that the archetype has yet to show me a single salamander monster. What do you MEAN this isn't an archetype based on lizards???

(Literally my only complaint. I understand that it's silly but I really like lizards okay. Kagetokage was peak and I miss him every day. But I am coming around to salads.)

Flame is such a delight as well. Instead of the passionate idiot that you'd normally associate with Fire (Soulburner has that base covered), we've got this cool and collected british dude who you think has it put together until he opens his mouth and you realize he's a little bit insane actually. I just met a certain little green fella and am slowly coming to realize that all the ignis are just Like This. And it's GREAT. And totally makes sense for the weird road to personhood these lil guys had, but mostly I just love that they're all unhinged and slightly wrong in the head. Icons, the lot of them.

But most importantly, the thing that absolutely endears Flame and Soulburner to me is their dynamic together. Friend shaped cheerful shonen boy who just wants friends but also lights himself on fire on the reg, and his six inch tall little weirdguy whose snippy and sarcastic but gives friendship speeches to his human buddy because he openly shows that he would burn down the whole world for this guy. Just like Ai and Yusaku, they've got this ever-so-slightly-unhealthy trauma bond going on. (Which is great. Again, praise be to the writing that this show makes such a complicated dynamic come across even while not directly addressing it, just in little day-to-day conversations and incidental remarks.) But unlike the other two, they're also so openly affectionate and casually ride-or-die. They laugh at each others jokes! They gas up each others bits and have honest conversations! They're freaking besties and it's so funny when they're standing next to Mx. Yusaku "I have never learned what a normal healthy social interaction is in my life" Fujiki and Mr. A "I grew up on the internet and have a weird understanding of social norms so I just make jokes and think that constitutes a friendship" i.

I knew I'd love them when Theo sat down and tried to explain human social rituals to Flame through their shared special interest, I knew I ADORED them when Soulburner asked "Why are you acting like we're going to lose?" and Flame replied "For dramaaa~"

[liauditore]

Thought I might say hello and make some small talk, seeing that I'm camping on your trafficshipping tag and all.

Well hi! Lovely place you've got here. Fantastic art, GREAT vibes, very nice. I'm specially enjoying your character rambling; your takes on them are super interesting and they tickle my brain 👀

May I send Divorce Fource/Quartet and Majorwood for the shipping bingo? Divorce Fource were a right mess (affectionate <3) and a perfect one at that, but I can't help but wonder how the recipe would have turned out if the soul ties were Cleo-Pearl, Martyn-Scott.

Also there is so much potential in Limlife Majorwood for eroguro if you're nasty. Which I am. Time cannibalism, respawning mechanics, birthday time... blender go brrrr 👀

!!!!!!!

y'all are really enabling my habit of long ass posts huh 😭😭

OK SO first off thankyou so much?? thats so sweet?????? 😭😭 i really don't think my character ramblings are anything special, but i like reading other ppls insane takes so i thought i'd provide others with the same 👍

not to get too into it but i feel like a series like life smp is best enjoyed with your own crazy delulu takes (similar to touhou if anyone heres familiar w/ that fandom). and it makes me kinda sad to see ppl arguing abt whats 'canon' or 'correct' cus that's no fun lol

ANYWAY yeah uh im glad u like the vibes!! :J

TREEBARK

this one first cus chronology. I honestly don't know if there's anything I can say here that hasn't been said before? But yeah they're. tasty. something about martyn waiting the entirety of third life to betray ren and never getting the chance and now longing to have him back. lots of regret but regret. for what. yknow. and ren always looking out for martyn even from a distance. and then martyn losing that connection in limlife.

yeah i can see why people ship lmao

uhh i don't really know what else to write here so have some of my insane ramblings copy+pasted from my shipping doc 👍

Martyn fancies himself a schemer, someone who's not afraid to play the game the way it's intended. If that means earning a powerful ally's trust only to shatter it then he was going to do it. Only, Martyn's bark is worse than his bite, and every night he spends in lying awake in those soft, warm sheets that Ren had laid out just for him (freshly washed too, he might add. Smelled like sunshine) he wonders if he can do it. He can, of course. (he can't. he won't. he's too soft. soft and useless.) He'd cut his head off already. (he wants to vomit) (this is why no one needs you. wants you. loves you) Who cares about other people anyway? He is the only one who really matters. (the thought of being alone makes him want to cry) Ren, on the other hand, is a capable leader. The definition of loyal and dependable, if not a bit dramatic. He struggles with self-worth, being good enough, useful enough, powerful enough. But to others, he's the opposite, caring and protective of any who would ask for his aid. After all, every citizen deserves to live in safety and comfort, and providing that is what a good King would do. ~ Martyn's not as sneaky as he thinks he is. Ren knows. Ren sees the signs. It's a death game for a reason. But he doesn't let Martyn know. He doesn't even hold it against him. He doesn't see the bloodthirst anymore, only the broken pieces lying underneath. ~ or the King's Hand, it was the thrill of feeling Useful, Powerful, Feared (loved). He was going to miss it after he betrayed him, the high of bloodlust, the smell in the air as he charged into battle. (the way his hands held him so gently) For the King himself, deep down he knew it was never to be. He had met a monster, but he hoped his efforts calmed the storm ever so slightly. On some days, he pretends to forget about the death game entirely and imagines the speech he'd give to retire his Hand. "You don't have to fight anymore," he'd say, "I'll take care of you from now on, I promise. So put the sword down, okay?" But in the end, it was all a fantasy, wasn't it?

^ yes this is so cheesy but so are they.

Cry with me again Smile with me again Scream with me again Sing with me again Dance with me again Talk to me again…

"Lower One's Eyes" (Oktavia translyrics)

MAJORWOOD

I think.. I talk too much abt scott seeing as that's who everyone points out when it comes to my headcanons 😭😭 but uh i swear everyone else is just as messed up. and martyn is like. just as bad if not worse (if that wasn't made clear from my ramblings before)

anyway uh say it with me rebound 👏 relationship 👏

i think they're both.. very numb to it all once limlife rolls around. they're just tired and have this mutual understanding and both think they're horrible people. martyn just wants to play the game. scott doesn't even know what he wants anymore.

but ofc, they're both still human and want love and comfort, so they try to seek that from one another. even if it's fake. even if it doesn't matter in the end.

Baby, though I've closed my eyes I know who you pretend I am I know who you pretend I am

Washing Machine Heart (Mitski)

We’re the Delusioned Victim Cash-in Union Praise to the “love” that will bring salvation!  Two fools singing to a shallow melody Restart, reflation, teleportation Time and again we’re stuck in rotation Circles inside a love without any ending

MKDR (SirHamnet Lyrics)

Scott uses Martyn as a replacement for Jimmy and Martyn uses Scott as a replacement for Ren. they know they dislike eachother (see: all of double life) and that only one of them will make it out alive. but they can't get that love and comfort from anyone else now.

also uhhh eroguro my beloved...... im assuming this is getting brought up cus of my mentions of loving eroguro in the past. and yes to all of that very much i agree. but i do have kind of.. a limit to what i do w/ these characters specifically because of the fandom/ccs (at least publicly). if i ever do decide to share the nastier stuff in my head or go into detail on gore and whatnot i'd probs make a sideblog and tuck it away and maybe block scott and martyn for always somehow showing up on my posts lmao

[dailyaoyagi]

I'm going to put him in a blender /affectionate

[voldsoys]

same anon who asked about serial killer tyler! oh my GOD hes so fucked up. issues georg i need to put him in a blender /affectionate

also i cannot overstate how much i love that fic!! you did such an amazing job blurring the line between if everything was real or not, the escalation of both tyler and josh’s feelings is SO good and the ENDING. god. i cannot stop thinking about it. your writing style is also amazing!! really poetic and floaty, almost? which totally adds to the vibes/themes of the fic

i was so inspired by your fic i ended up making ocs based on the “trapped in a basement/mutual Stockholm syndrome” idea. and theyre pretty different from what youve written , but it really was the kick for me to go “what if i made something fucked up”

uh. yeah. i liked it a lot asgadfafacgs-

aw thank you so much! i really appreciate that 🥰 my writing has ALWAYS been on the line between prose/loose poetry, i tend to drabble which i think doesn't help haha.

i've been wanting to write more of him, but i really don't think there's any more to the story that needs to be added. i do have a few other story ideas that are similar enough that i think they'd appease the masses though haha.

and i'm glad you liked the ending! i stewed on it for WEEKS. literally, i could not for the life of me tie it up, it was keeping me awake at night.

there is nothing more in this world that i love more than encouraging people to embrace their inner freaks!! make the messed up ocs!! fuck em up, babe!!!

[mickmundy]

Catching up with Thou Giveth Fever and aughh, dear author you're killing me over here (affectionate)

All this tooth rotting fluff and pinning making me role on the floor- OH WHAT'S THIS?

ANGST COMING IN WITH A STEEL CHAIR-

IM DEAD!! IM DYING !!! And this is only the beginning of the angst!!!!! this series carved out my heart and placed it in a blender and the next chapter you post is gonna blend it in the highest setting istg aaaaaa <3 <3 <3

idk if its too late but i read the author's note for one of the chap's asking what scene we liked and thought "oh theyre realllyyyyyy in love" and honestly the scene where Sniper and Medic were baking a pie in the lab/operating room(?)

It was So. Augh. I can't put it into words akdhqkdbn. How they shared stories about baking pies. How Sniper was flustered but also accepting Medic's flirts. The whole story of Sniper and his repression being equated with his experience as a kid and his dad calling him greedy for wanting pie???? Medic wanting to kiss is SO BADLY but restraining himself bc he doesn't want to make Sniper uncomfortable. But then Medic inciting the chase with the flour??? And Sniper feeling genuinely comfortable and letting himself have this fun??? AUGHHH TABLE SLAMMING this scene made me smile like a goofy, hyperactive child in a candy-store

Just??? The way you make these scenes so natural are Too Good <3 I'm seriously looking forward to the consequences of the failed uber (Medic may have pushed a littleeee too much this time uh oooh and Sniper is sooo gonna beat himself up over being this unprofessional on the battlefield)

I hope your day is going well wherever you are! Thank you for posting this series, its *chef's kiss* I eagerly look forward for what you have in store to torture our hearts as well as Sniper and Medic's <3

OH MY GOD HI HELLO I AM SO SORRY FOR THIS INCREDIBLY DELAYED RESPONSE!!! ;__; PLEASE FORGIVE ME.... but EEEEE i am SO happy you've been enjoying my series my friend, i hope you've liked how tachycardia ended!! ^w^ i am so eager to begin posting the next one.. don't worry, they are going to be in Torture Town for some time yet! HEHHE >:)

AND THANK YOU SO MUCH ;;; it really means a lot to me when people let me know that they like how i write the mercs; i want them to feel Believable and Human and i think with characters that have such a like. "legacy" like the mercs, it's something that makes me really nervous to do!! but i've been having the time of my life prying them out of their Fanon Cages and carving out my own interpretations of them... :') and i'm so overjoyed that readers like you enjoy! ^_^ <33333

i'm actually overjoyed that malus seems to be the most warmly-received of my fics in the series, it makes me really happy that people sympathized and resonated with their baking scene... <3 it was definitely one that i was nervous about sharing!! ;_; we've seen a lot of what's going on in sniper's head, but medic's has been kept Intentionally Ambiguous... until this friday! >:) HUHUHUHU....

thank you again SO very much my friend, your feedback means the ABSOLUTE WORLD to me and i am SO SORRY i haven't replied sooner!!! ;-; i hope you continue to read my stories, you are welcome in my inbox anytime and always!! ^u^ <33333 ILYYYYY

"UNTIL THE END, DOLL"

I WROTE ANOTHER FIC WITH BUCKY

I hope you like it! 🖤☝😊

"I don't think that's a good idea, doll," Bucky said when you sat down next to him on the bed.

The two of you had been dating since before Hydra put his brain in the blender.

That time was very hard for you, since he asked Steve several times to lock him in the raft, afraid that someone would say those damn words again and he'd lose control again.

He didn't want those words to define him, but every damn time he even remembered them, he felt his blood boil, and that wasn't a good sign.

During that time, the only way you could see him was through a glass that was eight inches thick.

You didn't talk much; he would ask you about your day, and you would respond with a brief nod.

You didn't ask him about his because you knew full well that all he could do being locked in that place was rack his brains until he was nearly insane.

When the book was destroyed, Bucky felt a certain relief.

Even though he hadn't heard those words in a long time, he was afraid someone would say them again as a joke in front of him to see if he would "trigger."

That fear was what you saw in those moments reflected in his deep blue eyes.

"Look at me, Buck," you whispered affectionately. He stared at you.

"I'm here, baby. I'm not going anywhere, you know that, right?"

"Yes," he gave a sad smile. "I… I don't know if I can do it, y/n."

After everything that happened with Hydra and the use of those words, Bucky was afraid to touch you.

He was terrified by the idea of ​​his hand squeezing your neck too tightly, or being so dominant that he hurt you.

He would never forgive himself if that happened.

He couldn't live with himself if he caused you that kind of pain.

"I know you can, baby," you murmured. "You're the strongest person I've ever known, and we'll get through this together, like we do everything." You smiled. "Do you trust me?"

"With my life," he replied without thinking twice.

"I know you're not going to hurt me, Buck." You got straight to the point. "The man who did those things is no more," you decreed. "The Winter Soldier is a thing of the past." You traced the curve of his cheek with your fingers. "Now you're just Bucky."

"Doll," he whispered, looking at you with devotion. "You have no idea what those words mean to me."

"Yes, I know, that's why I'm saying them." You smiled, and he mimicked your gesture. "I love you, Barnes. I'm with you until the end."

"I know, baby," he murmured, placing a loving kiss on your lips. "Until the end."

Oh, I assure you @xcziel, I had a draft just sitting there waiting for me to have time to do these two justice. I see that many, many excellent gifs have been brought to the table, so how about a little essay instead?

Greetings, fellow mortals who have not yet been inducted into the immortal (no, really) mysteries of HeiHua. Allow to explain.

Which I'm going to start by backtracking a little bit.

Imagine that you are an author who has a tomb-raiding adventure series where one of the protagonists is a mysterious, gorgeous, silent, deadly, near-perfect example of the overpowered all-in-black immortal martial-arts-master loner who lurks in the shadows.

Now give that guy a bargain-bin knockoff whose all-in-black style got stuck circa 1975, licks the blood off his knives, and looks like the physical manifestation of the phrase "Hold my beer". He's an immortal who probably has "YOLO" tattooed somewhere on his body. He's going blind. He plays the violin. He wears a mullet. He has medical training. He does massage. He would sell you and himself to the devil for one cornchip, and not even an especially fresh one. He's the most loyal backup you could have as long as you can pay his price.

That's Hei Xiazi.

Okay, now assume that one of the other main characters in this same series is a semi-sheltered mob heir who was Assigned-Protagonist-At-Birth. He's naive but determined, facing ancient secrets and puzzles at all turns but defeating them with his own ingenuity, gets knocked down but gets back up swinging.

Now put on Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better as a little light background music and give this guy a cousin. Mob heir? Pffft, he's been head of his own mob family since he was a child. Ancient secrets? Good thing he's been trained in martial arts (special contortionist version) from an early age. Gets back up swinging? That would imply that he got knocked down in the first place, which would be gauche. He's nicknamed Xiao Hua (little flower) partly because he's so beautiful. He wears all pink in an attempt to be less intimidating but has just succeeded in making everyone scared of pink.

That's Xie Yuchen.

Oh, and the black-clad ruthless killer has a capybara field that WILL adopt any potential godchildren in the vicinity.

Oh, and the mob boss sings opera.

(You're welcome.)

Now take this wrong-side-of-the-tracks money-loving mercenary, pulse him in a blender with this wealthy, designer-clad mob boss, and pour them into a story that shows their relationship across almost two decades.

If, as a child, you watched The Aristocats and thought "This would be better if these cats were gay Chinese tombraiders and also completely unhinged", congratulations, your day has come.

Oh, wait. Do you like your ships with a little more substance? No worries! Imagine if you spun one of those "What is your relationship style" tests and got Gift of the Maji. Imagine that one of you is old and immortal, and the other one is so very young, then less young, then less. Imagine that one of you is tired to your very core, and the other one is a tempered flame of brilliant determination. Imagine if, by giving the person you love the thing they want the most, at the same time you would also be destroying the very thing they love.

Yep, Heihua. It's fun times!

Come on, join us. It won't hurt. We have:

Battle couples (affectionate)!

Battle couples (deragatory)!

Dumbasses!

Whatever the hell this is!

"Which of you is the card and which one is the reader?"

Murder walks

Chen Chuhe's tits

And a self-contained 1.5-hour movie of two men fighting everything but the urge to stare into each other's eyes. And, depending on your region, it's free on Youtube.

Join us! You have nothing to regret but your life choices. Exactly like them.

Do you ship it?

[bluecoolr]

Best part about dms is I get to make you write Nathan as a character, ooo~

Anyway I'm formally requesting an info dump on Nathan please n thankies because I need him for... ya know. Sin.

Don't wanna be ooc for my silly goofy ideas

For you, Plant? Of course.

(Hope you feel better soon catboy 😚 am platonically smooching you)

Nathan Aaron Todd

Info Dump

Fair warning, there's hardly any structure to this. I literally dumped it all.

From Nathan meaning "God has given"/"gift of God" and Aaron meaning "mountain of strength". In the Bible, Aaron was the brother of Moses and helped make a false god for the people to worship. 👀

Two years younger than Darrell, born on the coldest day of January in the Todd farmhouse

He's very close with Susannah and Darrell. Although, he doesn't like how pushy Sussy (she hates that name) gets.

He and Darrell are inseparable and are each other's best friends.

Growing up, they shared a room. At first, they shared a bed. Most nights they lost sleep over talking about the most mundane things. They would pretend to be asleep when their mother or father came to check on them.

In a house like theirs, you learned to memorize footsteps.

When they got too big to share (Nathan tended to hog the bed and their parents didn't approve of spooning), they were given separate beds. When Darrell went through puberty, he was moved to his own room and his bed was given to Judah.

Nathan hated being separated and hated being saddled with Judah. Judah was too nosy, too loud, and demanding. He sucked up too much to their parents.

He loves the outdoors. Tends to go around barefoot. Has a green thumb.

Granted, he's always a tad bit dirty.

Pastor Todd and his wife had a tendency to spot a child's talent and build their future around it: Nathan's was farmwork.

He was taught how to farm, to raise crops, to tend livestock, hunt, track, trap, and - most importantly - butcher.

Has no qualms about ending a life. Butchering gives him a rush, a high.

He's not squeamish at all about blood. In fact, he likes to have it on his hands; likes to know he's taken the life force of something.

Pretty decent singer. He, Darrell, and Susannah sang together for church. He sings softly while he works.

Would have loved to draw, but found he's better with woodwork. He made silly little toys for himself and other kids. His favorite was a little wooden rifle.

He's the most cheerful out of the Todd children. He's quick with a joke and is very affectionate.

Basically if you put pre-war Tristan from Legends of the Fall, Hareton Earnshaw from Wuthering Heights, and Thomas Hewitt from Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning in a blender, you'd get Nathan.

Charming, overworked, loyal to his family, and ruthless

You know that quote "Suffering can be religious if you do it right."? That's his schtick.

Speaking of kids, he loves them. The town kids see him as the cool older brother they always wanted.

He and Darrell look extremely alike. You'd mistake them for twins if it weren't for the difference in hair and eye color; Nathan's eyes are a cold blue (sometimes described like a shark's) (I suppose they mean that in the emotionless predatory haze sort of way but they could also be saying Nathan looks like he's dumb as bricks.)

I mean if that ain't Nathan after a night of drinking idk what that is.

Would have followed Darrell to the ends of the earth.

Never felt like he was second to him or overshadowed - well until Nex came around.

Man's strong as an ox. His physique betrays him.

Notorious fornicator

Women love him, cattle fear him, the men want him dead.

Darrell never punishes him however. Like I said you can't get away with anything in Zak unless you're Nathan.

Like Darrell he will fuck when the opportunity arises.

Might have caught feelings for a certain someone ehem ehem

I want to make more content of him, he's just ridiculously interesting.

I can't think of anything else rn but that's what I got for this country fool. Give me follow up questions and I'd gladly oblige 😌😌

Party in Jinlintai!!! Part 1.

Emperor of peacock spirits, and the peacock spirit Dianxia enters!!!

Xue yang: oh no not another diva.

Su she: there's no such thing as a diva diet.

Mo xuanyu: Xuan gege once made a diva diet. It composes of salads, fruits that were only grown in his imperial orchid. Green tea and lemon water.

Vegan fish.

Yao: I did it once, and it did wonders for my skin. Zish is such a genius. If he wasn't an emperor, he would be a dietician or a beauty influencer.

Mo xuanyu: I would too, Yao gege.

Yao: of course!!

Xue yang: you two would be beauty blenders.

Su she: you're always flawless!

Xue yang: this Xuan Huangdi is such a diva.

Zixuan: *enters with Jinling*

Yao: Zishie! A-ling!

Zixuan: *hugs* foxy!

How are you?!

Yao: ah contented for the while.

Zixuan: aww.

Let me serve you some tea, foxy.

Yao: mn.

Jinling: xiao shushu, your place is so nice! Better than Jinlintai by far.

Yao: *pinches cheeks* aw thank you, A-Ling.

A-Ling. I bought some beautiful gifts for you, since I knew that you were coming. *claps twice*

Attendants: *holding gifts* Rulan Dianxia, we'll put it in your caravan for you.

Yao: heyy. Call him Ling Dianxia. He doesn't like the name Rulan.

Yes Huangdi.

Jinling: I love your gifts, Xiao shushu! Thank you very much!

Huaisang: *sweeping* this San ge keep pampering everyone. Hmpf!

Jinling: wow! Xiao shushu! Is that a crossbow?!!

Yao: triple crossbow.

Jinling: you're the best!!

And what's in this pouch?

Yao: just a small allowance of $250,000

Jinling: awww.

Zixuan: how amazing.

See, your Xiao shushu loves you a lot.

Yao: mhm.

Mo xuanyu: A-Ling. I got you some new clothes!

Jinling: aw thank you so much, xiao ershu.

Mo xuanyu: no problem darling.

Zixuan: Yaoyao, anything new?

Yao: a collection of Jade ornaments! See

Zixuan: aww, they're beautiful.

You're the cutest thing, Yaoyao. *grabs hands affectionately*

Huaisang: the most annoying thing too.

Zixuan: would you mind. I'm talking to foxy.

Huaisang: *glaring*

Zixuan: can you sweep somewhere else?

Huaisang: *sighs* yes Huangdi.

Jinling: how is Nie qianbe working for you now?

Yao: sometimes I really don't know, lol.

But he gets the job done, sometimes.

Zixuan: he looks lovely like this.

Xue yang: *plucks some of Zixuan's peacock feathers*

Zixuan: ouch! Xue yang!

Yao: Chengmei.

Mo xuanyu: *gasps*

Xue yang: *plucks*

Su she: oh no.

Zixuan: my feathers are off limits!

Yao: behave Chengmei. You'll hurt him.

Xue yang: Jiggy I was bored. And I wanted to get some work for Huaisang

Su she: team dimple supervises huaisang, so that he doesn't stress out Huangdi.

Zixuan: awww.

Huaisang: when do I stress out San ge?!!

Zixuan and Yao: you always do.

Su she: 24/7

Mo xuanyu: 365.

Zixuan: Huaisang, there's a divine peacock feather mess on the floor.

Huaisang: divine?

Zixuan: because I'm Huangdi.

Use a golden platter and rest it over there. It's not any other peacock feather.

Huaisang: why should I do that?! Can't you see I'm sweeping.

Zixuan: I can arrest you.

Huaisang: right away huangdi.

Zixuan: handle them with care.

Rusong: *entering* Ling gege!

Jinling: Rusong! *highfives*

Rusong: where have you been, gege.

Jinling: night hunting, and then I'm in Yunmeng with Jiujiu.

Rusong: ohh. Here I have been busy being Dianxia.

Jinling: so you juggle it like me?

Rusong: yup, cultivation and being the hulijing Dianxia.

Yao: how cute.

Zixuan: they get along so well.

Yao: yess! and they're the most handsome Dianxias in the Jianghu. Why don't they go on a vacation.

Rusong: sounds great, A-Die!

Jinling: I was thinking of having a party in Jinlintai.

Rusong: yas we should!!

Jinling: I'll tell Sizhui and Ouyang Zizhen about it.

Rusong: ok. Then what about Jingyi.

Jinling: this annoying boy. Anyways I'll invite him.

A-Die, is Jinlintai under good maintenance?

Zixuan: always darling.

Jinling: would gramps scare my friends?

Zixuan: no. Well I hope not.

Yao: if he does anything to my A-Song and A-ling, I'll slice him with my guqin strings, as if he's soft cheese.

*smile* just saying.

Rusong: we're invincible.

Jinling: lol yes we are.

Zixuan: carry your personal bodyguards.

Jinling: A-Dieeeee, I don't need them. And fairy is there to protect me!

Zixuan: *cups face* A-ling. You're my little Dianxia. You must be safe.

Jinling: ok A-Die.

Yao: *strokes head* my Song'er. You have Rong, or team dimple. Which one?

Rusong: I'll go with Rong. Sorry, team dimple might get drunk and tell everyone about the time they snatched you away from Shizun.

Yao: *laughing*

*glares at team dimple*

A-Yu, A-yang, A-Shan.

Trio: Jiggy?

Xue yang: it's called the art of simping. Ouyang Zizhen will get it.

Mo xuanyu and Su she: we're sorry. And yes, we're disappointed in ourselves for being better than Lan lips.

Yao: oh my.

Rusong: they get more random, Ling gege.

Jinling: lol.

Rusong: now, shall we get going?

Jinling: yea. Bye xiao shushu and A-Die!

Rusong: bye team D. I love you a lot!

And bye A-Die, you know I love you too!

Yao: aww. *kisses* I love you too.

~~

Lanling 📍.

Jinling: does he still hate you? I heard that he worked at your place.

Rusong: yup. But A-Die will deal with guangshan if he does anything.

Jinling: and I'll protect you too, Song'er!

Rusong: thank you.

But Ling gege, where does he sleep? I don't really know though.

Jinling: in the basement. But then he would sleep with Nainai only if she's in a good mood, which is a 50% chance.

At least A-Die and xiao shushu run Jinlintai.

Rusong: *laughing*

Jinlintai ~~

Jin servants: *bowing and greeting* greetings Wangzis.

The Huangdis told us that you're coming. So we prepared your rooms.

Jinling: thanks. We're having a party with a few friends so.

Right Dianxia.

Rusong: So great that you got the message from the two Huangdis. And nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too hulijing Dianxia.

Jgs: *peeps out* what is A-Ling and that unruly hulijing doing here!

Jgs: *faking* heyyy guys. So nice to meet you. Song'er!!!!

Rong: keep your distance away from Dianxia.

Jgs: but I didn't do anything!

Rusong: hey guangshan.

Jgs: A-ling, you came to have a party here with your friends. That's nice. This place is yours! I say we throw out the greedy hulijing and take charge.

Jinling: *grabs Rusong's arm* there's no way I'm getting rid of Song'er! You old man!

Jgs: why do you like him so much!

Jinling: because he's my cousin, gramps!

Jgs: I see, a new generation of Zixuan and Zixun.

Or even worst, those two emperors. *shivers in disgust*

Jinling: and don't come near my friends.

Jgs: *rolls eyes and walks away*

~~

*suddenly someone playfully attacked Jinling from the back*

Jingyi: YOUNG MISTRESS JIN!!!!

Jinling: *startled* Jingyi, let go of me!!

Jingyi: but I want to hug you!!!

Jinling: you call this a hug? You're wrestling me!

Jingyi: why are you fussing?!! Be grateful, princess Jinnnnnn.

Jinling: don't call me that.

Ouyang Zizhen: yas!!! RD and LD in da house!!

(T/N: RD- Rusong Dianxia. LD- Ling Dianxia.)

Sizhui: Rusong! Long time no see. How are you?

Rusong: I'm doing good.

Sizhui: and how are your duties going?

Rusong: smoothly, for now. I really have a passion for looking after fellow hulijings.

Sizhui: that's so sweet.

Jingyi: Rusong, your cousin bit me.

Rusong: Ling gege. Hahaha, I'm so sorry Jingyi.

Jinling: no need to apologize to him. *pouts*

Ouyang Zizhen: Rusong, you're Wangzi, right. So did you get any mistresses yet?

Jinling: don't ask him that! Gross!

Rusong: no Zizhen, I don't have a girlfriend yet.

I want to focus on my career first.

Ouyang zizhen: what career?

Jingyi: You don't have to work a day in your life.

At least Jinling is sort of a cultivator.

Jinling: Rude!

And of course we have careers.

Song'er focuses more on being a Wangzi while I focus on cultivation.

Rusong: mhm.

See, we make a team in helping the Jianghu.

And hulijings have their own cultivation sect. The Hu sect.

Sizhui: awww.

Ouyang Zizhen: I hope you two find girlfriends soon.

Jingyi: do you even help the Jianghu, Jinling.

Jinling: shut up.

Jingyi: Jinling, I'm starving!!!

Jinling: help yourself Jingyi.

There's some food on the table.

Jingyi: buffet style, I like! You do care about me!

Jinling: *rolls eyes*

Ouyang Zizhen: look, RD. You have dimples. Use that as a weapon to the ladies

Jinling: leave him alone.

Rusong: *laughing* I hear you.

Ouyang Zizhen: and you're already a prince. Who doesn't want to marry a prince.

Jinling. What did your Xiao shushu do with his dimples? The guy has the strongest cultivators dropping to their knees and asking to be stepped on.

Jinling: ugh, you have a point. Everyone is head over heels for xiao shushu. *rolls eyes*

Jingyi: *eating* would you like me (platonically) if I had dimples, Jinling????

Jinling: I'll punch them every time I see them.

Jingyi: lol.

Sizhui: Jinling, you shouldn't beat him up. Dimples or not.

Jinling: but he's annoying.

Rusong: *having some noodles and strips of meat.*

Rong: do you need anything, Dianxia?

Rusong: no, I'm fine for now. Thanks.

Ouyang Zizhen: man, I want an attendant too.

What do you think?!

Sizhui: I could never. I'll he too flustered.

Jinling: they're alright. No big deal, cuz I grew up with them.

Jingyi: can my attendant cook? That's all he need to do.

Jinling: that's a personal chef, Jingyi!

Jingyi: ohhhhhh. Yea, I need a personal chef.

Rusong: do you want to borrow one of mine?

Jingyi: omg yes RD! You're the best!

~~~

Some minutes later.....

Everyone started drinking liquor and partying.

Ouyang Zizhen: what's the most scarring/weirdest thing you have ever seen! Go!

Rusong: Team dimple trying to seduce A-Die by dancing.

Jingyi: no way!!

Rusong: they were also wearing thin robes.

Ouyang Zizhen: omg. I saw a fierce corpse with an arm on top of his head.

But for some weird reason, he was in my bathroom.

Jinling: what????

Ouyang Zizhen: drunk and cultivator should be together.

Jinling: I once saw Jiujiu's hairy back.

When I was 4, I thought that he would have purple hair on his back, but it turned out to be fake.

Rusong: oh my!

Ouyang Zizhen: that's a wicked back.

Can we braid it?

Jinling: stop being gross.

Sizhui: you thought that it would be purple?!

Jingyi: ewww.

Jinling: I keep hearing him being called a purple grape. So I thought so.

Then one other scarring incident is when I walked in on A-Die and A-niang.

A-Die was on a golden table top with a peach in his mouth. And A-niang was blushing and walking towards him.

Rusong: I didn't know uncle Zish had it in him.

Jinling: does your A-Die do that?

Rusong: nah, he's too busy being simped on to do that. But he might do that for Shizun and uncle Jue.

Jingyi: Peacock got some rizz.

Ouyang Zizhen: Jinling, did you see them make out???

Sizhui: I saw Wangxian doing everyday on a roof. But don't worry, *sigh* it was a secluded place.

Jinling: they're mad. That's why Jiujiu hates them.

Jingyi: Hanguang Jun is the best. I want to do papapa on a roof some day.

Rusong: ahahaha.

Jinling: disgusting.

Rusong: oh so Hanguang Jun is your role model?

Jingyi: heck yea. Everything he does us immaculate. Down to his papapa. I can just imagine him grabbing Wei wuxian in a chokehold and feeding him d~~

Sizhui: *rams a piece of meat in Jingyi's mouth*

Ouyang Zizhen: oh not again.

Jingyi: *chewing* Sizhui!

Anyways it tastes good. Can I have some more.

Sizhui: keep the chicken thigh.

Jingyi: RD, is that wannabe Hanguang Jun still working for Lianfang zun?

Rusong: uncle Su? Yes. And he's not a wannabe Hanguang Jun. He has his own skills!

Jingyi: yea, what he learnt from Hanguang Jun.

Rusong: does Hanguang Jun know how to teleport?

Sizhui: whenever Wei qianbe calls him lol.

Rusong: uncle Su is the best, and i love him. Thank you very much.

Jingyi: lame!!!!

Hanguang Jun is IMMACULATE!

Rusong: not your Hanguang Jun almost  immaculately cutting off my A-Die's arm. 

How dare he.

Ouyang Zizhen: things are heating up!!!!

Jinling: Rusong does have  a sharp tongue. So don't mess with him.

Rusong: I didn't only get the dimples from A-Die.

Jingyi: *pouts*

Jinling: now behave, Jingyi. *rolls eyes*

Or you'll be banned from food.

Jingyi: but I'll die!!!

Sizhui: I try not to judge anyone, Rusong. Your uncle Su is awesome.

Ouyang: who are we talking about?

Sizhui: Su she.

Ouyang Zizhen: *confused* sorry, I'm not a Lan. So I don't know your Lan politics.

(Jingyi and Rusong are of course friends, but they just have different views)

Jingyi: well would you excuse me. I have to check up on my hotpot that I'm cooking in one of your indoor Jacuzzis.

Jinling: my WHAT?! Jingyi!

Rusong: why Jingyi? Why?

Jingyi: oh come on. What else should you use a jacuzzi for!

Jinling: this will be so hard to clean.

Rusong: we have guangshan, remember?

Jinling: oh right.
