Road trip! Reader is Passenger Princess (due to them giving their man a heart attack everytime they drive 😊)

i am Still Suffering on my road trip. god save me. i wrote this in my notes app while stuck in traffic for three hours. the formatting and spelling are in the hands of Our Merciful Lord (tumblr)

price

refuses to let anyone else drive unless he’s on the verge of passing out

(probably the only one you can trust to drive tbh)

does the dad thing where he’ll stick out his hand to get some of your snacks

hates stopping for any reason, wants to get to the destination as quickly as possible

when he does get forced to take a break, he’s very upset about it

backseat driver, stresses everyone out

(gaz is tempted to tape his mouth shut)

claims he “isn’t tired” and “can keep going” but is the first one to pass out when you stop at a hotel

gaz

passenger princess

if you try to get him to drive he’ll pretend to be sleepy

in charge of the music

(not because everyone likes his music but because he fought soap for the right)

hogs the phone charger

calls shotgun and will fistfight anyone he tries to take it from him

(he’ll let you have it if you want but he’ll be pouty about it)

ghost

another passenger princess (because no one trusts his driving)

the single time he’s allowed to drive, he nearly causes an accident ten minutes in

weakest bladder known to man

forces you to stop every hour

passes out after the first hour of driving

soap wakes him up when his snoring gets too loud and it causes another bout of smacking each other

takes photos of anything cool he spots on the road

(they all come out blurry but it’s the thought that counts)

soap

the only other one that price trusts to drive

decent driver, just has road rage at times

begs gaz to let him change the music (gaz always says no)

points out the scenery constantly

“look, there’s cows!”

collects souvenirs from every gas station you stop at

plays road trip games (i spy, slug bug/punch buggy/whatever you call it)

he and ghost get in trouble when it devolves into them just hitting each other

has a stash of snacks and drinks that he’ll share if you ask nicely

is awake and yapping the entire drive

(gaz actually does tape his mouth shut)

alejandro

the exact opposite of price

likes to take his time and relax

will somehow turn a 10 hour drive into 15 hours

wants to stop at every roadside attraction he sees

you have to keep reminding him that you have somewhere to be or he’ll get lost on a side quest

souvenir guy, buys magnets and keychains

has cds that he likes to listen to

very chill but you might get stressed if you’re on a deadline

is insistent on being the driver but gets traumatized when he runs over a squirrel

“ale, it wasn’t your fault. it was dark, you couldn’t see-“

“I’M A MURDERER”

rudy

probably the best person to plan a road trip with

isn’t a maniac like price but isn’t as laidback as alejandro

likes to listen to random radio stations as he drives

is really bad about speeding

regularly goes at least 15-20 over the speed limit but is lucky enough to never get pulled over

uses road trips as an excuse to only eat junk food then regrets it when his stomach starts hurting

needs a day or two to recover afterwards because his back hurts from sitting for so long

graves

scarily organized

has an itinerary and follows it to the letter

wouldn’t let you drive even if you begged

if he gets tired he’ll just get one of the shadows to take over

honestly, most of the trip consists of the shadows entertaining you with their antics while graves drives

one of them gets left behind at a gas station and you have to drive back half an hour to pick him up. graves is pissed

makarov

do NOT try to take this man on a road trip

if you mention it, he’ll have plane tickets booked before you can even blink

cannot handle long drives, the most he can manage is an hour before he starts getting annoyed

keegan

the most stressful but also the most entertaining

demands control of the music but plays the weirdest shit

not the best driver but not the worst

he won’t crash at least and he’ll only get pulled over a few times

says the most out of pocket shit to get a reaction from you

“how long do you think i can drive with my eyes closed?”

“KEEGAN NO-“

keegan has been banished to the passenger’s seat.

nikolai

another guy who is good at road trips

great driver, you can sleep the whole ride and he won’t gaf

it’s kind of terrifying. you’ll wake up from another nap to find him staring dead-eyed at the road as he drives

secretly shoplifts something from every place you stop at

doesn’t admit it until you accidentally find his stash hidden in one of the bags

“solnishko, you must understand. i need it.”

“you do not need a keychain of a frog with a cowboy hat, nik!”

nikolai is now wanted for theft in every US state (and several countries)

Messages from the Stars (IDEA DUMP)

A/N: I don’t know anything about horoscopes, so I’m not sure if those count as horoscopes..….just got the idea after listening to Messages from the Stars by The Rah Band

....

Senku, a man of science, logic, and a space fanatic, absolutely despises horoscopes. He does not hide his disdain for them when Yuzuriha and Taiju suddenly become fixated on reading each other’s horoscopes, including his own.

When Taiju and Yuzuriha attempt to read Senku’s horoscope from a buggy app, Senku’s daily horoscope is anything but ordinary. Taiju’s and Yuzuriha’s are vague and general, but Senku’s is oddly specific, bizarre, or cryptic. And with every horoscope, Senku manages to bump into you—a stranger who happens to have a star in their being and a knack for bringing to fruition his horoscope.

-You will discover gravity-

Senku prefers to be indoors, but when he decides to rest under a tree, you fall from a branch before him—dressed in a red sweater with an apple on the front.

-Prepare to make a wish on a shooting star-

With earbuds in his ears, lost in his intellectual thoughts, Senku doesn’t hear your desperate shouts to ‘Move out of the way!’ when the brakes on your bike stop working, ultimately crashing into Senku. And of course, you were wearing a sweater with a shooting star on the front.

“Just a coincidence. No evidence to support a causal or correlational relationship with horoscopes and what the hell just happened.”

In a poorly controlled experiment, Senku will attempt to disprove Taiju and Yuzuriha’s theory that the sketchy app can tell his future. In theory, it should be a relatively easy experiment, one that requires the observation that something should occur because of the predicted hypothesis.

With Senku’s lack of luck, this experiment becomes difficult to conduct, as the first horoscope implies he needs to assess his emotions.

-Leave logic and reasoning behind. Love is in the air!

You don’t have to pay for that fancy worldbuilding program

As mentioned in this post about writing with executive dysfunction, if one of your reasons to keep procrastinating on starting your book is not being able to afford something like World Anvil or Campfire, I’m here to tell you those programs are a luxury, not a necessity: Enter Google Suite (not sponsored but gosh I wish).

MS Office offers more processing power and more fine-tuning, but Office is expensive and only autosaves to OneDrive, and I have a perfectly healthy grudge against OneDrive for failing to sync and losing 19k words of a WIP that I never got back.

Google’s sync has never failed me, and the Google apps (at least for iPhone) aren’t nearly as buggy and clunky as Microsoft’s. So today I’m outlining the system I used for my upcoming fantasy novel with all the helpful pictures and diagrams. Maybe this won’t work for you, maybe you have something else, and that’s okay! I refuse to pay for what I can get legally for free and sometimes Google’s simplicity is to its benefit.

The biggest downside is that you have to manually input and update your data, but as someone who loves organizing and made all these willingly and for fun, I don’t mind.

So. Let’s start with Google Sheets.

The Character Cheat Sheet:

I organized it this way for several reasons:

I can easily see which characters belong to which factions and how many I have named and have to keep up with for each faction

All names are in alphabetical order so when I have to come up with a new name, I can look at my list and pick a letter or a string of sounds I haven’t used as often (and then ignore it and start 8 names with A).

The strikethrough feature lets me keep track of which characters I kill off (yes, I changed it, so this remains spoiler-free)

It’s an easy place to go instead of scrolling up and down an entire manuscript for names I’ve forgotten, with every named character, however minor their role, all in one spot

Also on this page are spare names I’ll see randomly in other media (commercials, movie end credits, etc) and can add easily from my phone before I forget

Also on this page are my summary, my elevator pitch, and important character beats I could otherwise easily mess up, it helps stay consistent

*I also have on here not pictured an age timeline for all my vampires so I keep track of who’s older than who and how well I’ve staggered their ages relative to important events, but it’s made in Photoshop and too much of a pain to censor and add here

On other tabs, I keep track of location names, deities, made-up vocabulary and definitions, and my chapter word count.

The Word Count Guide:

*3/30 Edit to update this chart to its full glory. Column 3 is a cumulative count. Most of what I write breaks 100k and it's fun watching the word count rise until it boils over.

This is the most frustrating to update manually, especially if you don’t have separate docs for each chapter, but it really helps me stay consistent with chapter lengths and the formula for calculating the average and rising totals is super basic.

Not that all your chapters have to be uniform, but if you care about that, this little chart is a fantastic visualizer.

If you have multiple narrators, and this book does, you can also keep track of how many POVs each narrator has, and how spread out they are. I didn’t do that for this book since it’s not an ensemble team and matters less, but I did for my sci-fi WIP, pictured below.

As I was writing that one, I had “scripted” the chapters before going back and writing out all the glorious narrative, and updated the symbols from “scripted” to “finished” accordingly.

I also have a pie chart that I had to make manually on a convoluted iPhone app to color coordinate specifically the way I wanted to easily tell who narrates the most out of the cast, and who needs more representation.

—

Google Docs

Can’t show you much here unfortunately but I’d like to take an aside to talk about my “scene bits” docs.

It’s what it says on the tin, an entire doc all labeled with different heading styles with blurbs for each scene I want to include at some point in the book so I can hop around easily. Whether they make it into the manuscript or not, all practice is good practice and I like to keep old ideas because they might be useful in unsuspecting ways later.

Separate from that, I keep most of my deleted scenes and scene chunks for, again, possible use later in a “deleted scenes” doc, all labeled accordingly.

When I designed my alien language for the sci-fi series, I created a Word doc dictionary and my own "translation" matrix, for easy look-up or word generation whenever I needed it (do y'all want a breakdown for creating foreign languages? It's so fun).

Normally, as with my sci-fi series, I have an entire doc filled with character sheets and important details, I just… didn’t do that for this book. But the point is—you can still make those for free on any word processing software, you don’t need fancy gadgets.

—

I hope this helps anyone struggling! It doesn’t have to be fancy. It doesn’t have to be expensive. Everything I made here, minus the aforementioned timeline and pie chart, was done with basic excel skills and the paint bucket tool. I imagine this can be applicable to games, comics, what have you, it knows no bounds!

Now you have one less excuse to sit down and start writing.

How They Met You

Crocodile the famous jewelry CEO who had tons of beautiful jewelry stores but also some shady businesses away from the public eye. Crocodile maintains a perfect image for his jewelry business. But it was getting to the point that a famous jewelry business and a shady side business is becoming hard to maintain which was leading to Crocodile’s perfect image having some cracks, so that’s when Crocodile took Mihawk’s suggestion and tried to hire a personal assistant but it wasn’t only for his jewelry business but also for the darker side of business, so he wasn’t just looking for someone who was hardworking but someone who could stomach and remain calm when witnessing death and bloodshed. Crocodile had people lined up outside his office for this job. He already sent ten people away. His reason was they looked too fragile or had a snitch energy to them. Crocodile was bored by some of them or annoyed by some of them. “ Can you handle cigar smoke? “ He asked. “ How good are you at caring for Crocodiles? “ He asked. “ You aren’t squamish are you? “ He would ask. Crocodile was at the end of his ropes. None of the people who were applying for the position blew him away or looked right, he was about to give up and just find an AI app to be his PA. But when you were the last one to walk into Crocodile’s office and take a seat, it seemed your energy made Crocodile sit up, but at the sametime energy wasn’t going to make Crocodile think he found the right assistant. When Crocodile told you to tell him about yourself, you spoke clearly without hesitation or stumbling over your words, you didn’t give meaningless stories or brag about achievements. You told him your strengths and weaknesses. And he was impressed that you did indeed have knowledge and proper care on crocodile’s.

When Crocodile discussed the darker part of his business, you were unfazed and simply told him that as long as he paid you and promised what was provided as a PA then you would be by his side. “ Say if we got arrested and the police told you that if you air out all my dirty laundry they would let you walk free, would you do it? “ He asked, sitting up in his seat, his golden fingers from his prosthetic hand tapped against the desk. “ It’s both our laundry, I’m here for a job and when I do get the job my laundry is bound to get mixed up with your laundry so matter what we have to wash each others’ laundry to avoid getting it aired out to the public eye. “ You stared at him with fierce determination. This wasn’t a if you get the job, no you knew that this job was going to be yours. Crocodile barked with laughter as he grabbed a cigar from his top desk drawer and lit it. The sweet smell of tobacco fills the air as Crocodile takes a gentle drag, the smoke swirling around him as he exhales. He takes a moment to savor the flavor along with your response, the embers of the cigar glowing as he brings it to his lips again and takes another puff. “ You got the job welcome aboard, you start tomorrow. “ Crocodile extended his hand for you to shake. “ I’ll be here on time, thank you. I look forward to working with you. “ You smiled. Crocodile began discussing both sides of the business with you, and what it meant to be his personal assistant. When you left, Crocodile sat back replaying the memories of your guys' discussion and how you carried yourself - He was glad that he took Mihawk’s suggestion.

Meeting Again

You were here on time like you told Crocodile he introduced you to his team and gave you a tour around the building. After the tour ended he showed you to your desk. “ Feel free to decorate it however you want plants, pictures of family, or whatever nicknacks you to place. “ Crocodile leaned against the desk as he watched you get settled in. It seemed like you already began placing your nicknacks and comforts to your desk area. Gave you his schedule along with a company keycard before walking away, wanting you to get set up in peace before he gave you some work. Weeks rolled by and Crocodile was becoming more and more impressed with how hard working you were. And kept his public image clean and made the public see him as the clean and fashionable businessman. Whenever there was a mess you would clean it up, you even managed to let Crocodile beware of certain rats in the business to which Crocodile took care of those planning to betray him. Day by day and week by week, Crocodile was finding himself becoming closer towards you, but whenever he tried to flirt with you, you would brush him aside or pretend that you weren’t listening. You didn’t let anything distract you from work, especially your boss. Crocodile would sometimes leave little gifts on your desk, telling you it’s a thank you for how hard you’ve been working. Some of your co-workers noticed the special treatment you were getting from Crocodile. Which leads them to making certain comments about you and saying how you only got this job because of your looks, but you didn’t let those comments bother you. You were here to do a job not to listen to idle gossip, but a part of you couldn’t deny a part of you did enjoy the special treatment from Crocodile. It was better than your last job and how shitty your job was along with the pay.

Crocodile continued trying to pursue even you asking on a date, like always you would ignore him or pretend you didn’t hear him, but while washing Crocodile’s pet Crocodile named Nile, he asked you on a date. “ Come on, I’ll take you to the finest restaurant and pay for everything. If you don’t have an outfit, I’ll buy you one. I'll make this a night you’ll never forget. “ Crocodile watched as you washed Nile before looking at him. “ Sure, I’ll go on a date with you but don’t expect anything else, this is just a date. “ You said as you kissed Nile on the head, the little Nile had become your little baby. “ You won’t regret this day, I can promise you that I’ll pick you up at 8pm tomorrow. “ Crocodile walked away leaving you to Nile. You looked at the pet crocodile and smiled. “ Your daddy will have to do a lot to impress me. “ You kissed Nile on the head before walking away to feed him.

The Date

Crocodile spent hours in front of the mirror fixing himself up making sure that he looked presentable from head to toe. He even had to call Robin to make sure that he looked, even asking for advice. Robin found this date laughable thinking Crocodile might screw it up but regardless she did help him and told him what not to do. Robin already knew you from your time working with Crocodile and still didn’t understand why you agreed to go on a date with Crocodile, but she wanted to see how this would go. Once Crocodile was positive that he looked good for the date tonight. He didn’t want to be late he grabbed a small black box off his nightstand a gift he planned to give on the date, he left his home to go pick you up, Crocodile went all out for this date so he hoped in the car that you would appreciate every aspect of this date, when you left your home and locked the door behind you. As you approached Crocodile’s car he thought you looked. He thought you looked stunning, absolutely gorgeous. Dressed up for a special night out. How ravishing he mumbled softly as you were about to open the door. “ Now hold on. “ Crocodile said as he unbuckled his seat belt and quickly got out of the car and walked over, opening the door for you. “ My mama taught me manners, she always told me if you take someone out on a date they shouldn’t have to lift a finger. This isn’t work for tonight. I'm your personal assistant. “ Crocodile said with a grin.

Now Robin warned you about Crocodile’s track record with “dating” but it seemed like Crocodile was trying to make a new record, a clean one. You got into the car and put on your seat belt once Crocodile was back in the driver seat, he saw how you admired his car. “ Tomorrow I’ll let you drive it, you can drive us to work. “ Crocodile drove down the road he couldn’t lie, a part of him was nervous, Crocodile knew it himself that he didn’t have the greatest track record when dating, a lot of his exes would consider him distant, cruel, money hungry, and self-centered. Even Robin had called him out on his behaviour but he would brush it off since he believed he was unstoppable but for tonight and the near future he was hoping things would work out with you.

When arriving at the restaurant Crocodile helped you out of the car and offered his arm for you to hold, the two of you entered the restaurant. You noticed it was empty for a popular fancy restaurant. You thought this place would be packed like a can of sardines. Crocodile could see your confusion and chuckled. “ I rented out the place for us. If you got the money, it’s best you use it for things like this. The place is ours for the entire night. We can eat anywhere we want and you my dear can order anything you want off the menu. “ Crocodile lead you upstairs to the restaurant. The outside had a beautiful view of the One Piece City, the lights and stars, Crocodile pulled out your seat and once you sat, he pushed you up a bit before taking his seat. On queue the waiter came up with menus and introduced himself as music played in the back. You and Crocodile ordered your drinks and meal after that the two of you chatted waiting for your meal, after eating and drinking. Crocodile got up and asked you to dance. When you agreed the two of you got up to slow dance, he pulled you close, his hands rested on your back.He smelled earthy and warm spices, a woodsy note like patchouli and cinnamon. When the date ended Crocodile drove you home and thanked you for an amazing night, he walked you to your door but before he left he gave you the small black box. “ Goodnight {Reader}. “ Crocodile said, kissing your hand as he left, leaving the rest of your night to you.

What’s It Like Dating Him

Crocodile didn’t like the fact of his partner working for him so respectfully and of course you agreed, you stepped down from being his personal assistant. Crocodile wanted to take care of you so he moved you in with him and would spoil you with gifts, trips, and vacations. Crocodile would try to balance work and his relationship with you, so whenever he saw that work was getting too much. He would call for a vacation far away from One Piece City to be with you, most vacations were on his private island. Just you, him, and Nile. Crocodile didn’t let anyone talk bad about you, but he also didn’t let anyone sweet talk you. When a new agent joined the business, this agent thought he could get away with flirting with you despite knowing the rule. He thought he was smarter than the Crocodile, but when Crocodile noticed this he thought it was time to let this agent go. So one day when Crocodile called this agent into his office and told you to leave, you got up from the couch where you were reading from and left, the agent watching as you left a sick smile on his face. When the door closed you could already hear the screams and wails of pain the blood-curdling screams, an agent heading towards Crocodile’s office stopped in her tracks with her partner and said nope as they quickly turned around and left. 

Once the screaming stopped you took that as a sign and walked back into the office as you saw Crocodile removing his bloody golden hook and put back on his golden prosthetic hand on, you didn’t care for the dead agent as you stepped over his dead body and walked over to Crocodile, you leaned down to kiss his cheek. He quickly grabbed your waist and pulled you into his lap. “ Sometimes these idiots make me want to keep you at home, since some of them believe they can have what I already have despite the warning. “ Crocodile rested his head against your chest sighing as you ran your fingers through his hair knowing your touch calmed him down. You whisper sweet nothings into his ear letting him listen to your heart beat, once he was calm down you helped him dispose of the agent’s dead body. Crocodile kept his word, he never hurt you or made you doubt his love for him, everyday he continued to show his love for you, Robin was surprised by this but also proud of him.

Can you do one where reader and him are best friends and he walks in on her changing and they both get really flustered? from his pov?

Delicate point of view

A/N: THANK YOU FOR THIS REQUEST!!! So sorry for not getting back to it!! My apps been buggy and hasn’t been showing me any submissions but it’s starting to work again!! I hope you didn’t have to wait too long for this… thank you for the support my loves. I adore each and every one of you!!

This as requested will be in Harry’s POV but I’ll be using ‘him’ I can just write easier that way instead of using ‘I’ and of course adding in ‘you/y/n’ whenever applicable. I hope that’s okay my love. Thank you again for the request!!

Pairings: Harry x insecure! Reader (decided it could make it more cute!!) exact weight/ body not specified to be all inclusive for different insecurities!!

©️ please do not copy or translate my work.

-

Harry had, had a busy day at the recording studio. He was a busy man with a busy schedule and sometimes it was impossible to spend time with those he loved however he had found some time to finally spend some time to relax with you— his best friend. You had been his friend for a long time, since childhood practically. You had both seen each other grow. He had seen you on your best days and worst days and had seen you grow into a mature beautiful woman. He always adored you, seeing you as the most gorgeous person ever but he never made any advances upon you. Not because he didn’t want to but because he didn’t know how you felt, you sometimes seemed like you wanted him but then at other points you seemed to not want him…. Whether that be due to insecurity or fear of something certain he couldn’t of been sure but gods did he wish he could be with you sometimes. You were both intimate people whom adored one another but nothing ever pushed you guys over the edge of dipping your toes into the depths of love.

He slowly pushed your front door open, he had sent you a message letting you know he was coming to yours for a bit and you were in the shower but your phone had been left on the messages so it indicated you had seen it so Harry walked into the home, quietly shutting the door behind him. He then began walking upstairs wandering into your room gently pushing the door open “y/n I’m here and—“ “HARRY!!” His words were cut off by your voice as you stood there wide eyed dressed in just your underwear and bra. “ohhhh… shit.” He cussed as you both stared at each other wide eyed, his eyes trailed up and down your body a flush of red covering his face his green eyes wide as he admired you thoroughly, he could’ve looked at you all day- admiring all the curves on your body. The tone of your skin… the way your skin looked so soft and delectable… it made his heart race. You genuinely looked perfect to him. His eyes continued scanning up and down your body, unable to look away. Harry had always been the perfect match for you, you were insecure and desperately needed someone to uplift you. Sometimes your weight and body in general scared you and Harry didn’t hesitate to- as your best friend- assure you that weight didn’t matter. Assure you that a real man or a real mature human being would love you as you were… but still right now you were scared shitless. What if he thought you were ugly? you were just unable to speak in general too shocked and rather horrified that your handsome best friend was here staring at you practically nude. Your mouth opened and closed over and over again like a fish, unable to get your words out until eventually— “Harry cover your eyes!!!” Came from your lips and Harry quickly threw a hand over his eyes his ring covered fingers covering his eyes “Jesus Christ y/n..” he chuckled shaking his head “don’t peak!! I swear to god harry,” his cheeks were flushed bright red and he only laughed keeping his eyes covered, “don’t laugh Harry oh my god!! How embarrassing. Oh my god my best friend just saw me nude!” He continued chuckling at your rambling and just for your comfort to make you more comfortable he turned around.

His hands rested on his hips as he stared at the door listening to you rummage around clearly trying to get dressed “I don’t know why you’re freaking out so much, y/n.” He spoke. “Because YOU Harry fucking styles!! My BEST FRIEND!! Saw me…. Nude! Saw my body!” He could see your shadow moving slightly proving your hands were moving about as you practically freaked out more. He laughed still bright red “not completely nude…” “Harry! Not the point!” His dimples appeared as he grinned.

He heard you groan slightly as you nearly tripped up from putting on your jeans so quickly, your hands trembling your face flushed and your eyes watering fearfully. Harry was genuinely the kindest human being ever but still it terrified you for him to see you like this. “You okay?” He asked and you nodded, before eventually remembering he couldn’t see you and murmuring a quiet “yeah.”

You pulled on your T-shirt as finally you were fully dressed again and Harry turned around looking at you with a small smile before his smile disappeared “hey… what’s the matter?” His brows furrowed concerned and he walked towards you only for you to step backwards “y/n… hey.” He reached out grabbing onto your trembling hands holding onto your hands securely before he brought your hands up to his lips pressing soft kisses to your hands “what’s wrong. You look like you’re about to cry,” he pointed out concerned for you watching as you tried to shy away but he gently cupped your cheek in his hand. He knew the look on your face, he wasn’t stupid, he saw the insecurity the way the fear and sadness flashed before your eyes and he exhaled softly “let me guess… you’re afraid I think you’re ugly?” His words hurt your heart and you looked at him, your lower lip trembling slightly giving him the answer he needed. Sure you were both only best friends but he was always so tender with you. “Darling… don’t be silly. You’re beautiful inside and out… and seeing you without clothes on…. You’re just more gorgeous.” He spoke with a reassuring smile. “Really?” And he nodded his head “of course really. Cant you see my face..?” He chuckled out and you took time to finally examine his face cheeks bright red, eyes glistening, and a wide smile on his face his dimples very apparent. “Oh…” you trailed off softly and he smiled before holding your face in his hands stroking his thumbs against your cheeks lovingly “you’re so so beautiful… the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.”

Soon in a rather intimate way Harry leaned in to press soft kisses against your forehead, before trailing the kisses down your cheeks, across your nose, to your other cheek and down to your chin gently avoiding your lips “every part of you. Your nose…. Your cheeks… your lips.. your eyes… your body. All of you is… perfection.” He always knew how you were insecure, how you tried to fit in how perfect you tried to be how the pressure of society was nowadays to have a “perfect” body and perfect face. “Do you really think I’m beautiful? Perfect?” You asked with teary eyes and he nodded his head slowly “of course.” He continued stroking his thumbs against your cheeks softly “I’ve told you before and I’ll tell you again… whatever you weigh. Whatever anybody weighs… to the right person… it doesn’t matter. It shouldn’t matter. But there’ll always be judgemental people out there… but no matter what my love… you’re beautiful…. Fuck what anyone else thinks. You’re my best friend and I think you’re perfect. I know you’re perfect.”

You smiled staring into his eyes watching as he began getting closer and closer until his lips were brushing against yours in a subtle kiss, as if making sure it was okay with you, but you didn’t respond— too shocked, but at you not pulling back, he took that as a yes and leaned in kissing you more deeply pressing his lips hard against yours but the tenderness remained, his hand caressing against your cheek, before eventually he pulled back after a singular kiss to look into your eyes “and… also…” his thumb brushed against your cheek “butterflies can’t see their wings, but they’re beautiful without knowing it.” His lips curved into a small smile as your smile slowly grew and you leaned in kissing him realising just how perfect you both were for each other… the butterflies within your stomach swirled desperately. Oh how you loved him and oh how he loved you.

Probably going to be doing one for each Shanks, Zoro, Sanji, Mihawk, and apparently Buggy too who seems to have become a mainstay now.

I'm having trouble continuing my current WIPs, usually if I can crank out a oneshot or two I can focus and get back to it.

Sanji first.

Sanji knew full well he was a hopeless romantic. He had always known it. While his desire to work in the kitchens at Baratie had always been the greatest source of bitterness between him and Zeff, the second greatest probably stemmed from the older chef berating him for flirting with customers, no matter how respectful he was about it. He really couldn't help it—women were the gods' greatest gift to creation, and they deserved to be treated as such.

The hiring of a new garde manger had been another source of hostility, however briefly; Zeff had said he would consider Sanji for the position, and then tore it right out from under him, like always. He even had the nerve to roll his eyes and say, "You'll get over it." The rest of the staff stayed out of it, and kept a fair distance during prep hours that day, as it wasn't uncommon for such a row between the head chef and Sanji to devolve into physical violence.

But when the kitchen doors came open and you entered at a minute past eight that morning, he had frozen—and rather unbecomingly so, with his mouth hanging open, holding a sauté pan in the air, primed and ready to sling it right at Zeff's head.

He barely registered Zeff's snort of laughter at his reaction, or the gruff old chef's taunting apology for "the idiot waiter's behavior." Sanji's heart had simply ceased when your eyes met his, however briefly, as you glanced between him and Zeff in clear alarm at the scene you had just walked in on.

For once, Zeff was right—Sanji was already over it.

You had your work cut out for you, starting your two week stage that particular day—there was a party of more than twenty world government snobs expected at one that afternoon, which meant cold apps and hors d'oeuvres needed to be in no short supply. Sanji kept his eye on you throughout the entire shift, any time he was in the kitchen. Your station was right next to the break table in the corner, and oh, he could have watched you work all day, your graceful and precise movements as you piped filling into two trays full of deviled eggs, the deft motion of your wrist in cutting the chives to perfectly even half-inch lengths, carefully adding a few to each with your tweezers, ever so delicately topping each egg with a few salmon roe and a turn of your pepper mill.

Sanji stamped out his cigarette in the ashtray, and crossed the short distance to your station before you could call order up to retrieve the trays.

"Absolutely stunning," he commented with a small sigh.

You met his eyes briefly as you set to cleaning your station and checking your next order. "Just following the recipe."

"Well...." he chuckled lightly, leaning across the counter. "I wasn't only referring to the food, chef."

Your eyes locked with his a moment longer, before you rolled them and went back to work—but there was the slightest hint of a blush on your cheeks as he lifted the second tray, a hint of a smile curving your soft lips, and Sanji didn't fail to miss it.

Your stage was two weeks, before you would either be hired in fully or told to take a walk, but you melded so seamlessly with the rest of the staff that Sanji had no doubt you were on track to becoming a permanent fixture at Baratie—and god, he hoped he was right.

He was genuinely drawn to you—not only your talent in the busy kitchen, your ability to keep a level head and your spirits high under the high stress of the lunch and dinner rushes, but everything. The subtle and teasing way you returned his flirting. The late nights cooking with you, experimenting with new recipes after shift, or just chatting by the bar while you shared a drink and a smoke or two. Well before a week was out, he wanted to just grab you by the waist and kiss you like his life depended on it.

But he was nothing if not a gentleman, and for all the time he had been blessed to spend with you, there was still something distant about you. You skirted around any personal topics—your family, friends, your home before you came to Baratie, all of it was a mystery. Sanji didn't push it. He did prod at it occasionally out of sheer curiosity, how you had come to be so accomplished a chef at only a year younger than him, but he didn't push. He couldn't stomach the thought of pushing you away if he tried too hard to get you to open up.

Your eighth day at Baratie, just after the end of dinner rush, Sanji watched Chef Zeff hand you an envelope as you stood over the dish pit, your chef coat slung over your shoulder. He spoke to you quietly as you opened it and scanned over the letter inside. Something shifted in your eyes for a moment, so quickly that it was difficult to tell what it was.

Then you stuck the letter in your apron pocket and shook your head. Your mouth formed the words, "It's fine," as you went right back to scrubbing a plate.

Zeff gave you a nod, a light pat on the shoulder and a sigh as he passed.

And it was all Sanji could think about for the next hour as he squared away the dining area. He did so quickly, perhaps a bit less thoroughly than he should have, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that flicker in your eyes, a flicker of something. Whatever news had come to you in that envelope had been nothing good.

You were the last person left in the sprawling kitchen by the time Sanji returned, still making your way slowly through the stacks of dishes, a task that was normally split between a few of the kitchen and dining staff.

Yet you were still there, clearly taking your time, meticulously cleaning each dish that passed through your hands. Drying each one thoroughly before placing them lightly in their designated areas, your breathing slow and controlled, your eyes focused and yet somehow miles away at the same time.

Sanji plucked the ash tray from the break table and crossed the kitchen, lighting up a smoke and grabbing a dish towel before he reached you. You proved just how thoroughly you had spaced out when he set the ashtray down—you let out a small cry of alarm and dropped the plate you were holding.

Sanji managed to stoop down and catch it just before it could hit the floor and shatter. Your eyes locked with his for a moment, and there was that flicker again—pain, sadness, so much that it made his chest ache. Then, in the blink of an eye, you were back to washing dishes.

"Don't sneak up on me," you chided, elbowing him playfully as he leaned back against the counter, drying the plate. "You know how Zeff gets about anyone breaking dishes."

"That's entirely unfair, I wasn't even sneaking." He knew he had to be careful—had to play it safe, act like everything was normal. He couldn't outright ask you what was wrong without you either changing the subject or outright storming off. "Now, had I been sneaking..."

Ge set the plate down, and you were already rolling your eyes as he circled behind you, resting a hand lightly at your waist.

"I'd have come up behind you...maybe...put an arm around you..."

Your lips pursed, clearly fighting to keep a straight face as his hand slipped from your waist, across your stomach, his arm curled around you to pull you gently back against his chest. He tucked a strand of hair behind your ear, tilting his head to lean in close over your shoulder.

"Said something like, 'How about we leave these dishes for someone else and go have a drink or two, beautiful?'"

You tilted your head to meet his eyes, shaking your head a little. "I'm sure you would have," you said, giggling a little as you patted him on the cheek. Your lips lingered barely an inch from his, and for a few impossibly long seconds Sanji briefly forgot why he had approached you in the first place.

Then you reached over your shoulder and held a bowl out to him.

"Sooner we get done, sooner we can go have a couple," you said, smiling sweetly.

"Oh, fine," he sighed, taking the bowl. "But I'm going to sulk about it the whole time."

You giggled a little more when he pressed a brief kiss to your cheek, shoving at him lightly. "I wouldn't expect anything less," you laughed as he resumed leaning back against the counter beside you.

He kept his eyes on you, wondering if you thought you were hiding it well. You were far too quiet, too tense as the laughter faded from your breath and you went back to work. Your shoulders were squared, your chest rising and falling under your apron in slow, even, carefully controlled breaths, your eyes growing distant again.

Distant, sad, almost hopeless, on the verge of breaking and desperately trying to hide it.

And Sanji couldn't stand another second of it.

He plung the towel over his shoulder and placed a hand lightly on your shoulder—and before he could do more than open his mouth, you spoke up, your voice low and quiet.

"I'm...going to have to leave for a few days."

"What?" His eyes widened, his cigarette falling from the corner of his mouth in alarm. He quickly stooped down to pick it back up. "Wh—why?" he blurted out.

You swallowed, keeping your eyes on the plate in your hands, not washing it anymore but just staring at it.

"I...I have to handle funeral and burial arrangements for my father." Your voice was still quiet, still so carefully controlled, and his heart sunk right into the pit of his stomach at the slight tremor in your hands. "He...didn't have any other family so I have to...I have to go home for a few days."

That was it. The letter Zeff had handed you. Your mouth forming the words "I'm fine," when he no doubt offered to let you take the rest of the evening off. Over an hour you had stood there washing dishes, alone with nothing but your own thoughts for company, one little push from falling apart.

Sanji took one last puff from his cigarette before putting it out, before gingerly pulling the plate from your hands and setting it aside, before taking a step closer and pulling you just as gingerly into his arms. He felt as well as heard your breath hitch and stutter the slightest bit.

"I'm...so sorry, sweetheart," he said quietly, lowering his forehead over the crown of your hair, cradling your head at his shoulder. You still kept your breathing mostly level, but kept your head down, your hands shaking the slightest bit as they gripped lightly at the front of his shirt. "Was...he ill?"

You nodded shortly. "Dementia." Swallowed. "Early onset. Started around five years ago. I...we had a restaurant in Loguetown. Just a little bistro. Things...got bad a couple years ago. I couldn't keep up running a business and take care of him. He'd go down into the restaurant and try to cook, end up cutting himself or starting a fire. I had to close it and find something else. He...told me a while back that the head chef at Baratie was an old friend, so I..." Your voice cracked a little as you went on. "I had to leave him with a live-in nurse. When I left h—he didn't—he was so far gone he didn't even know who I—"

He pulled his arm a bit tighter around your waist as your sentence cut off in a small sob, his fingers curling in your hair near the nape of your neck. You had been dealing with all of this, alone, this entire week—for five years prior to that, trying to run an entire restaurant on your own and juggle it with taking care of your only family.

He was speechless—couldn't do anything for some time except lean back against the counter and hold you against him, stroke your hair and press a kiss to the top of your head while you clung to him and cried quietly.

He gladly would have held you all night, if that was what you needed—but you drew away after a few minutes, rubbing your palm into your eyes and turning to sit on the floor against the counter, glaring up at the ceiling.

"I never even really got to say bye," you said, giving a small scoff as you ran a hand back through your hair, your head falling back against the counter. Sanji took a seat beside you, and you exhaled a slow, shaking sigh as he wrapped an arm around your shoulders. "Not in any way he'd know. He just looked right at me and asked who I was."

"I'm sure he knows now. And that he'd be proud." You leaned your temple into his shoulder, swallowing, your eyes drifting shut. It didn't matter if you believed it right now—he still wanted to make sure you heard it. "You're...kind, beautiful, talented. To be honest, I could hardly take my eyes off you your first day."

"I know." You laughed quietly at that, your voice still choked from your tears. "You weren't exactly discreet about it."

"Never said I was trying to be."

You glanced up at him at that, and nudged your elbow lightly at his ribs...but you smiled as you shook your head, and that was all that mattered to him. Making you smile, genuinely smile, not just putting it on to mask the pain.

You rolled your eyes a little and closed them again. "I planned on making a point of not getting close to anyone here." You sighed slowly. "You made that impossible, of course."

"You're welcome."

"Would you stop?" you said, both of you laughing a little. A little more of your tension seemed to slip away as he pulled you closer. You shifted so your knees were bent to the side, resting over his leg, your temple at his shoulder. "I wasn't sure if I'd stay here after...." You bit your lip. "If I'd go back home and try to re-open the restaurant. But..." You shook your head. "I like it here. It's like having a family. I never really had that since it was just me and my dad." You drew in a deep breath. "I...still have to go back for a few days and handle his arrangements, but...I want to stay here. There's really nothing for me there now, anyway."

There it was. Without saying it outright...you were staying because of him. Sanji could have floated right off in that moment on a cloud of pure elation. There was nothing official between the two of you yet, but he had grown quickly to adore you. To savor every moment of time you gave him, every second of your flirtatious banter and your late night talks after the kitchen closed, and that only increased with everything he learned about you. Even if you had decided to leave, he couldn't say for sure that he wouldn't have just followed you right out the door like a lost puppy.

Even a few days was too long.

He laid his forehead over the crown of your hair, pressing a brief, chaste kiss to your temple.

"Let me come with you." He heard your breath catch in surprise, felt you freeze as he shook his head. "This isn't something you should have to do alone."

You were quiet, still as stone for several long seconds. He didn't regret the offer, wouldn't ever regret it. The worst you could do was say no, leave for a few days and come back.

You drew in a slow, deep breath after a moment.

"Are you sure Zeff would let you?" you said quietly.

Sanji laughed a little. "He's a cranky old bastard but he isn't heartless," he said, his thumb brushing against the nape of your neck in slow, small circles. "He'll probably tell me not to let the door hit me in the ass on the way out and leave it at that."

Your little giggle made his heart soar.

"You...really don't have to," you said softly, but you couldn't hide the hope in your voice. And that alone was enough to make him sigh softly, hearing hope after seeing the lost, hopeless look in your eyes as you stood over the dish pit minutes earlier.

"I want to," he said gently. "Besides...." He dug into his pocket, pulling out his cigarettes, and held the pack out. "Why in hell..." You took one when he offered it, and he tapped one out as well before tossing the pack up onto the counter behind both of you. "...would I want to stay here waiting tables and arguing with our most esteemed chef..." He leaned in close enough to light both his and your smoke together, taking a long drag and blowing the smoke away out the corner of his mouth, "when I could be spending a few days doting on the single most beautiful woman in the world?"

You gave a small snort of laughter, shaking your head before meeting his eyes again. "You never switch off, do you?"

"Never," he affirmed, grinning.

Sanji leaned back into the counter, resting his arm across his knee, staring up toward the ceiling as a thought struck him—an idea, moreso, one that he couldn't resist acting on.

"What," he said slowly, glancing down at you as you pressed the cigarette to your lips, "would you say was your old man's best dish?"

"Risotto," you said instantly. You smiled a little, turning your head to blow a cloud of smoke away. "His mushroom risotto was our most popular item, he could have made it in his sleep. Shallots, chardonnay, portobello, white truffle, little pinch of nutmeg and thyme to bring out the earthiness, it was...."

"Perfect." He smiled when you glanced uo at him. "Let's make it."

"Wh—*now*?" Your brow furrowed as he shrugged a shoulder. "But—" You nodded back at the counter, up toward the sink behind you. "I have to—the dishes—"

"Will still be there in an hour," he finished for you, and you pursed your lips. "Come on..." he said, lowering his head to rest his forehead against yours, lowering his voice to a light, teasing tone. "Say yes."

"I..." You sighed after a moment, shaking your head. "You are impossible." He lifted his eyebrows, waiting, as you returned his smile. "Fine, yes."

"Perfect," he said once more. He plucked your cigarette from your hand and stood, dropping it as well as his own into the ash tray before offering you both of his hands. You took them and he pulled you to your feet, your fingers lacing together with his.

And, without any warning or hesitation, you pulled yourself up onto your tiptoes and pressed your lips lightly to his.

And, oh, he could have melted into a puddle right there in front of the sink.

Your lips were even softer than they looked, and Sanji knew in an instant that he was going to be hopelessly addicted to them. A slow sigh left him as he tilted his head slightly, returning the slow, sweet kiss, his hands leaving yours to wrap lightly around your waist and draw you in a little closer, a little deeper. Yours came to rest just as lightly at his abdomen for a moment, before you looped your arms around his neck and sank right into him.

He was smiling when your lips parted, his forehead resting against yours as you bit your bottom lip. He curled an arm around your back and lifted his other hand, brushing your hair behind your ear as his eyes remained glued to yours.

"So..." He brushed his thumb across your cheek. "Would you call me an idiot if I said I think I'm falling for you?"

You chuckled softly. "Being that we barely met a week ago...yes." And you smiled, leaning in closer. "But I guess then I'd have to call myself an idiot, too."

And you pressed your lips to his again.

Literally anyone who hates book piracy should really take a moment to sit down in their room, stare at their bookshelf, and count how many books they've ever bought second-hand, or how many books they read each year from the library.

If you're against people reading books for free, you need to sit down and consider all of the ways you, personally, have read a book that didn't 'Explicitly support the author by buying a brand new individual copy from a authorized platform that pays royalties"

Like, literally.

Sit down and think about it.

What, functionally, is the difference between a book that you downloaded, and a book you bought or acquired Used?

How about a used book you got from your friend, or family?

A yardsale?

How about the Free bin outside a book shop or a library?

How about from A Little Free Library?

How about the books you borrow from the library and return so another hundred individuals can read that same book?

If a publisher gives hundreds of thousands of copies of their ebooks for free in one year, how can you then turn around and disparage those who got *their* free copies from another source a year later when that promotion ended?

If you legitimately think that book piracy robs authors, then by all rights you should also think that libraries and used bookstores should be illegal. You can't have it both ways. Either you can acknowledge that poor people who can't afford to buy brand new books exist, and that they still deserve to be able to read and have access to books, or you think that anybody who doesn't go out of their way to buy brand new copies of every single release directly from a publisher are somehow stealing from authors???

Almost every book I've ever owned has been a used copy from yard sales, flea markets, eBay, better World books, etc.

Now that I am an adult with disposable income, if I have a favored author that I discovered from those $1 used paperbacks, guess what! I will usually preorder their newest book if I can afford to do so-- but that is not a luxury everyone has, especially in 2025 and beyond!

And guess what? Even if I am going out of my way to preorder a new physical book from my favorite author for $20-$30 .... I still need a DRM free ebook to actually read it so I can increase the text size and contrast to avoid getting a massive headache from the small font sizes, or risk that prescious physical copy getting ruined if I want to be able to read anywhere away from home , or having to lug around an 800+ page hardcover with me if I want to read literally anywhere other than my home, which I still have to squint down at the page to do so.

"Just buy the Kindle edition!" -- what, so Amazon can literally change what version of the book I have at any time, or revoke the licence because 'buying' a kindle book isn't actually owning it?? So I can't read the books I 'own' on an older device that doesn't support the official Kindle app, like the 14 year old Ipad I spent almost 6 hours to get it back into a usable state by rolling back the "latest ios update" that Apple put out to slow it to a snails pace and make it a buggy peice of shit??

There's a reason my favorite publishers are the ones who sell phyiscal copies and DRM free ebooks in bundles !

Surprisingly, pirates avidly buy books,” the survey shares. 14.4% of respondents admitted to engaging in book piracy. They are younger than the average survey population and more of them are men and people of color, but the most unifying trait they have is that book pirates are avid readers — and they buy more books than the average respondent: “Compared to the general survey population, a higher percentage of book pirates during COVID are buying more ebooks (38.7%), audiobooks (27.1%) and print books (33.7%).” They’re also much more likely than general survey respondents to buy books in multiple formats: 41.5% do! During the pandemic, book pirates also increased their purchasing of newspaper and magazine subscriptions. They also are more likely to be library power users. 77.2% own a library card, and they borrow more than the average survey population, including ebooks (30.1%), audiobooks (31.6%), and print books (28.5%). Book pirates often use the library for discovering books that they go on to purchase: “58.4% of pirates bought a book at the bookstore that they first discovered at a library. 54.3% of pirates bought a book online that they first found in a library (compared to 35.9% of the general survey population).” Many turn to pirating books when they aren’t available at the library, especially Gen Z respondents. Book pirates are almost twice as likely to read or download free books for marketing promotions, and they’re also more likely to post a book review on social media (59.9%) and more than twice as likely to read fan fiction (27.4% do, as compared to 12.2% of the general survey population). This suggests that book pirates are some of the most passionate readers online, actively promoting titles and fandoms. This isn’t the first survey to suggest that piracy isn’t a simple case of lost sales. In fact, a €360,000 ($430,000) study by the European Union in 2013 found that outside of new blockbuster movie releases, there was “no robust statistical evidence of displacement of sales by online piracy,” including across books, video games, and movies. In fact, they found it might even help video game sales.

Gee, it's almost as though every single study ever done on media piracy proves over and over again that people who care enough about a piece of media to pirate it are also the ones who spend the most money on that media??

Quite literally since time in memorial this is been proven over and over and over again.

There is a reason bands release their music for free on YouTube.

There is a reason many new authors post themselves reading their works for free as audiobooks on YouTube.

There's a reason publishers will give away thousands of free ebooks in advance of a new publication in a series.

Because they know, for a fact, That people will discover their work because it is free, or otherwise they would never have purchased an unknown.

Anyways.

TL;DR: Free access to ebooks does not mean people "won't buy books" , it will just mean people who can't afford to buy books *will be able to read books*, and even publishers know this and will give away an entire series for free to get people to read the newest release.

The exact same way as borrowing a book from the library or a friend or a community little free library doesn't directly support an author monetarily for each reader, but *does* get them exponentially more people reading their book, who are much more likely to go on and buy them when they release, and buy their own copies.

@shepardstales I am taking notes for this, too. End goal but very good to be prepared.

Did learn the basic agreed rules of these games. Have pieces, backgrounds, and music that match the vibe and current setting of the game. Sound effects and music should also match the game’s vibe and setting but shouldn’t distract from the gameplay. Instead it needs to be designed to encourage the player to keep going.

The learning curve should be progressively harder, but not impossible. I saw one post that said introduce a new mechanic every twenty levels, and another that said introduce a new mechanic every fifty. But they both agreed in the beginning of the game you introduce a new mechanic every level as a tutorial type, then every three then every five-ten until around level 30.

also said that play testing is absolutely key. Because if a match 3 game is buggy you’ve basically destroyed your entire game by one unbeatable level and who wants to play. So we can design and then play the levels, or have people play through each batch of levels in beta testing.

Recommended if there’s story to it to segment each important story piece to a specific area of the story-which we knew, but it helps keep the workload organized. 30 levels for one area, fifteen for another, that sort of thing.

Reading these tips and articles has definitely been helpful for me and how I’m thinking about approaching it 😁

[hurlingdown]

im so glad people are enjoying my thirsts! they're very random thoughts. sometimes, i just type these out while i'm eating lunch with some friends (who do not know anything about this, of course).

anyways, i feel like we should utilize the smaller variants to get them in one big orgy. a mini buggy, crocodile, and mihawk glaring each other down while fingering and pegging each other. you'll be doing your work while they're at a side of the desk, trying to find satisfaction with each other.

or maybe nami, robin, and vivi all at your palm, choosing their fingers to warm and fuck themselves into. would they take turns with one finger or watch each other get split apart by your fingers?

what about shanks and buggy bickering about who'll go first on your fingers because you're so big, your fingers could be too much to them. what about garp and sengoku having a chill hookup session at your desk, ignoring you so much it makes you pout. would you pick them apart to use them like dolls or let them use your fingers to you bidding?

what about doffy commanding what you should do with your fingers to him, despite his meager size? spear him open and pierce him belly-deep, put your tip in his hole to fill him with cum. you would worry about his body but his strings still turn you into his little puppet.

what about luffy, sanji, and zoro fisting each other? they can't take your finger too quickly, they need a little help with each other! and maybe you'd get the best of the best. squirt, piss, sweat mixing together to create the most perverted soup.

i'd love to put out a bowl of warm water and watch rosinante bathe in it. tease him a little and poke his sides. guide him on washing his body and sneak in a swipe at his cunt while he's scrubbing his chest. eat him out after he's done bathing to wash him in your spit.

thats all, i hope you have a good day!

- oath anon

damn you’re brave… i could never. i can’t even open the app when people are around. you never know whether the first thing you see is a butt naked man with a ten foot cock (that happened once in public) or an absolutely depraved fic about a fictional character getting destroyed by a butt naked man with a ten foot cock

either way both scenarios are just as bad

this is a “what if gulliver’s travels had been a porno” type of prompt and i fucking love it

i’ve never written about orgies or group sex before and it sounds suuuper fun to write!! i really like the cross guild one you wrote, all three of them putting up with each other and having a pleasure party, trying so hard to entice you while you’re working your ass off for whatever reason is just the funniest kind of debauchery. 

doffy stringing reader into fingering him is a sign from the universe that i should get my shit together and write something for him. god he’d have such a pretty pussy 

about the monster trio though!! it reminds me: i’ve been thinking about writing watersports/omorashi for some time now but i’m not sure what the extent of bizarreness you guys would be okay withh... do let me know in my inbox!! no piss drinking though 🙂‍↕️

prodding and teasing corazon’s cunt to make him flush and squirm while he’s bathing fuck yess

goddamn you always send the perfect thirsts. have a great day as well!!

The stream is focused on Donnie showing off his Bo Staff skills, he was tempted to bring out his Tech Bo, but stuck to just turning on an AR overlay that simulates the features of his Tech Bo.

His model is in loose purple pants, a black tank top, his mask tails have studs in Ace colors and a couple space charms, he has on combat boots with purple laces. His tail when seen has a few bands on it that keep shifting colors with the LEDs in the room.

Donnie was taking a break to talk to chat and answer questions as they come in, while Shelldon and River move some stuff for a demonstration Donnie had planned later in the stream.

"Hmm, I see some of you are asking if we Dungeons & Dragons, well many an attempt has been made to play, but like many have faced... Scheduling is D&Ds greatest Boss. So we haven't been able to play. Traditionally Speaking of course!" Donnie with a flourish walks close to the camera with his phone out, "Behold! A custom D&D messenger App!"

The screen of his phone shows a Title Screen that reads 'D&D Chat App. BETA PHASE Vers. 4.10.18.1' with a cycling set of simplified drawings of different class types on smartphones. Donnie taps on the screen and after a few seconds goes to a menu that reads out select session with each 'File' having a start date, a class and level. And a couple have a 'New Message' notification on them.

"This is a game that as you can see is in BETA, it simplifies D&D down, and we do actions over texts, like the online version, but it's condensed to be more basic, and we don't all need to have the app open to play." Donnie says this as he opens a file with new messages, it's apparently one called 'Purple Reptile Club' and it's alerting him to take his turn. "To the others helping with the testing, the big up and downside to this is, that the next actions can take Seconds or Days to complete because it all depends on the others in the game to actually check in and make their move. But this is why it's still more in closed BETA."

He reads over chat as some questions are flying by, taking a drink while looking at what they're saying.

Donnie catches one question to answer, "Yes, I am aware that it loses alot of the story telling elements this way, but you do what you can to accommodate the needs of the Party. Plus if we get a bit lost it's not to hard to Back Read. Though there is a feature to summarize the story so far, but it's still a bit buggy, Red used it the other day, and it gave him the summary for a different game being played be the tech team." Donnie puts his phone down, and goes back to were he was standing originally.

"Now, let's put that talk to the side, and I can show you some newer moves that I learned from my dear Papa." Donnie then uses his Bo to pick up a bucket by the handle on each end. Before calling out to his Robot children to start tossing something.

The next few minutes are filled with Donnie maneuvering the staff with buckets around to catch all the items being thrown at him. With accompanying sounds of the items hitting the inside of the buckets.

The audience was amazed watching him then toss the buckets into the air, and catcha them right before they hit the ground.

All while holding an air of confidence, and a slight smirk on his face.

Some screenshots are taken, and practically traded around on the Discord, and the Fan Forums.

Masterpost

I don't know if this app idea is an actual thing, but I wanted to come up with why my turtles haven't mentioned D&D if at all. Because they really don't have much free time to actually play, and the App idea sounded like it would work or make sense.

Then just say it's a closed BETA thing. Or something.

06/12 update: posting this earlier than the new year because im gonna be rushed off my feet with work so i aint got time for gamin til late janurary :']

doing these is always fun and i know its mainly for myself fghj not sure many people even read these posts when i make em, but theyre fun to look back on!! in 2 parts cause i gamed too hard again smh smh

total games: 30

21/01 - Spider-Man 2 - 7/10

peter and miles return for double the spidey shit and double the big bads. why does anyone even live in this city anymore?? this sure was an insomniac spiderman game!!! like dont get me wrong, none of these games are Bad, theyre kinda middle of the road imo, but theyre still fun so ya cant fault em for that!! my main gripes with this game, as has been with the other 2, is just the overall story and dialogue being kinda boring. also, some of the side missions/collectibles stuff can be a bit of a pain BUT as i said, the combat is still very fun... tho mostly unchanged aside from some new abilities n gadgets

08/02 - Cozy Grove - 8/10

you are a spirit scout who has washed ashore of what seems to be a deserted island. except OOPS wait its not deserted, its haunted, and its YOUR job to help out the wayward souls stuck here into the afterlife if youre looking for a console version of animal crossing this is ur best bet imo!! tons of collectibles to find over the seasons, a bunch of decorations to spruce up the island, and a surprisingly rich story for each character u meet. this game covers some pretty heavy topics for how bright and cozy it looks, it was a pleasant surprise. my main gripes are how repetitive the quests are and how buggy it is; the game freezes a LOT and u have to restart the whole app multiple times just to get going some days. other than that, very fun and relaxing :]

22/02 - Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery - 10/10

you are frog detective, worlds number 2 best detective!! head off on 3 exciting cases and solve the Ultimate mystery - IS there a hat that can fit on frog detectives weird shaped head?? only time will tell im being dead serious about the 10/10 btw. this game is a collection of all 3 games in the series and theyre all super short, but super fun and cute and Funny. like genuinely. i love the low poly art style so much, i think the jokes are great, just the overall vibes are Brilliant, rly cant rec this enough :']

22/02 - Fran Bow - 8/10

fran bow follows the story of a young girl struggling with strange visions and evil entities i mean fran bow is a pretty iconic point n click horror game, idk what else to say abt it that hasnt been said already!! the art style is obviously a highlight, and the writing is iffy in some cases but surprisingly emotional a lot of the time for how messed up the visuals can get. theres a Lot of back and forth which can get a bit tedious, but the puzzles are pretty fun and overall its just a decent game imo

01/03 - Little Misfortune - 6/10

a young girl called misfortune goes on an adventure to find Eternal Happiness after a strange voice begins speaking to her inside her head the spiritual sequel to fran bow!! the vibes are similar for sure but something about this one didnt grab me the same as its predecessor. the character of misfortune can oscillate frequently between cute and annoying for me, as could the voice acting, but theres clearly a lot of heart in this one still :] the world didnt feel As fleshed out as fran bows but still a decent game

07/03 - Castle on the Coast - 7/10

you are a giraffe named george, washed ashore on an island with a castle (on the coast, if you can believe it). after meeting the residents, you gotta platform and collect ur way to the very top to help resolve some bad blood pretty cute n short platformer!! controls are kinda floaty/slippy and its very clearly meant for a younger audience, but its still pretty fun :] low poly art style is always a plus for me and i do always love a good platformer

09/03 - Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel - 9/10

the card game as you know and love it, now digital! i mean. its yugioh fghj if ur a new player its a great way to learn the basics and begin crafting some decks of ur own, if ur a returning player its a fun way to experiment with some new deck ideas and just play, and if u dont wanna play against other people online u can always just take it to a private match and duel there with ur friends :] the ui is sleek, yugioh itself is a fun game. honestly the only bad thing is the other players but u cant do much about that fghjk

15/03 - Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolutions - 6/10

a single player yugioh game where you can duel through iconic scenes from the og anime and beyond kind of the unrefined, solo play version of master duel. its not as good imo, and master duel brought a lot of quality of life upgrades from this one, but if ur after a decent single player yugioh game this ones ur bag :'] this version has 6 different animes to chose from and u can play thru all of them, build ur own decks, etc etc. theres also an online mode but its pretty dead and if u wanna duel real people u might as well just use master duel

19/03 - Chasing Static - 5/10

having just buried his father, chris pulls over to a late night cafe after getting lost in the welsh countryside. while exploring the area, he finds a mysterious bunker and a voice over the radio pretty 'meh' horror game but i rly like the ps1 style graphics, always a plus for me. the actual plot and gameplay is fine, nothing too special, and its Extremely short, but not much else to say :']

20/03 - Steven Universe: Unleash the Light - 8/10

more gems are determined to disturb the peace of era 3 and its once again up to steven and the crystal gems to stop them another steven universe rpg!! apparently this is the 3rd in the trilogy, but the first one was never ported to ps so ive only ever played this one and 2 fghj BUT honestly?? these are rly good rpgs; the art style is gorgeous, the gameplay is fun, obviously the characters are cute too. its just a blast :] the Big Gripe is that its glitchy as hell fghjk you can get stuck in certain areas and be unable to move unless u exit the game, but i still highly recommend for su and rpg fans alike

28/03 - The Addams Family: Mansion Mayhem - 3/10

when a seedy businessman shows up on their doorstep looking to buy and demolish their house, the addams family have to scour the place of artefacts to prove their homes importance .....i mean. its. fine. its ur standard 3d platformer fare, nothing to write home about really. its one of those overpriced ip games that dont take long to beat at All. i only got it for the meme and cause it was on sale and like i say, not bad, but its just kinda meh. the "story" is boring and feels not very addams-y but at this point thats par for the fkn course for anything with their names on it fghj

31/03 - First Class Trouble - 1/10

its a shitty among us clone, and thats all i have to say about this mess this thing has been on my backlog for 2 years and i NEVER. thought id every finish it because its Literally just among us but not fun. all the trophies are online only and specific as Fuck. the only reason i did it is cause i unlocked One (1) trophy when it was free on ps plus with my mates and it was bugging the fuck outta me. so yuh. dont play fghj. p sure the servers are gonna die soon too

07/04 - Burnout Paradise: Remastered - 7/10

burnout paradise has you getting behind the wheel in one of the best racing/stunting/crashing games in the world. try not to wreck your car Too bad MAN. this bad boys been on my backlog for 3 years, holy shit. i bought it because i was nostalgic and i remember playing the original with my brother all the time, so it was defo an experience to go back :'] while it is a very fun game as a whole, it gets repetitive pretty quickly, even with all the new cars you unlock, and some of the online trophies can be a pain to get (2 specifically involving full lobbies) BUT cant deny its an entertaining time

27/04 - LEGO DC Super-Villains - 7/10

the justice league have gone missing and a new band of "heroes" have swept in to take their place. our titualar super villains arent too pleased about this standard lego game fare :'] if i had to pick, im certainly more of a dc fan simply for harley, and lego games are always fun collectathon type deals, so this wasnt half bad!! lego games humour is always a lil hit or miss, but these things are always aimed at younger audiences anyway so eh what can ya do

04/05 - Overwatch 2 - 5/10

one of the most famous fps shooter games out there, do i rly need to explain overwatch to you?? no your eyes do NOT deceive you, i did in fact 100% overwatch 2. not Completely on my own merit, i had the help of a boosting group, but still!!!! twas a journey :'] i never played overwatch in its heyday so i cant speak to how it Used to be, but from what ive played now its just... not rly for me. i like the characters a bunch, and the world/story building is interesting, but thats not rly the focus of the game itself tho i wish it was

07/05 - Control - 9/10

jesse faden inadvertently becomes the new director of the federal bureau of control aftering finding the previous one dead seemingly from a self inflicted gunshot. overtaken by entities called the Hiss, jesse fights to reclaim the Oldest House, while also searching for her long lost brother WHEW!! love this one holy SHIT. big big BIG scp vibes, the way this game handles its horror and aesthetic is brilliant and exactly my cup of tea. tbh i found the actual gameplay the least interesting part fghj i would've spent the whole time going around collecting files and reports just to read them if i could :'] that being said, combat and traversal feel Awesome, every new ability is so fun to use. great stuff!!

10/05 - Carrion - 9/10

you are an unholy, fleshy, offal abomination, free from ur confines within a secret underground facility. time to escape. and kill everyone on the way out :] honestly ive been wanting to play this for ages so im glad i finally could! just as fun as i expected, visually amazing i Love the pixel art style paired with this rly disgusting Thing ur controlling dfghj its incredibly satisfying to just grab people up and start ripping them to shreds. u unlock new abilities as u progress and encounter stronger enemies as u go, but the feeling of being some unstoppable force never rly goes away (positive). p short game, but very fun!!

13/05 - Coffee Talk 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly - 7/10

coffee talk 2 takes place a while after the first game, introducing a couple of new faces and reconnecting with old ones this games just p pleasant to play :'] like the first one, its a kind of a barrista/visual novel type deal where people come in and u make them drinks/listen to their stories/etc etc. the musics lovely, the arts p nice, but like the first one i feel like its all a bit surface level. i never Really feel like i connect with any of these characters, even the returning ones, but its still a pretty game and theres not much else to say about it fghj

18/05 - A Way Out - 5/10

two guys, brought together by a mutual goal, escape prison and begin a journey to exact revenge on the man who ruined their lives tbh i didnt actually finish this game since the plat pops Wayyy before the end and i already knew how it ended so... yeah fghj i only played this for a platinum bingo event im doing rn and needed a co-op game to do so here we are :'] that being said, its an interesting story with interesting mechanics!! defo fun to play with a friend if ur looking for a short impactful story to get thru together

23/05 - NORCO - 10/10

kay, finally coming home after her mother passes away from cancer, learns that she had been doing some investigating in the nearby swamps and begins trying to figure out what she was looking for a sci-fi southern gothic point-n-click game that BLEWWW me away dude. holy shit this story is so SO good, i loved every second of it. its such an interesting setting with worldbuilding to match, gorgeous art, haunting soundtrack AUGH cannot recommend this one enough

01/06 - Heavy Rain - 2/10

the origami killer kidnaps ethan mars' remaining son and he must go on a set of trials to get him back. and other stuff happens too i guess. bad. its just bad dfgh. lets try to start with a positive tho; the actual concept is pretty cool and the mystery/crime stuff is alright, but the writing and characters are fkn boring and annoying and gross. i hated ethan as a main character, i thought he was so annoying, the plot twist makes no sense, and all the female characters are so clearly written by a man who hates women. yuck.

01/07 - Pesterquest - 10/10

you're a lean, mean, friend making machine and the ceasless call of platonic relations beckons you even now!!! time to befriend some regular degular teens (and aliens) okay so HUGE preface on this game you kinda.... Have to have read homestuck to understand literally any of it. im a homestuck fan, and ive never read the epiloges or the "sequel" and even I was lost on some points, but REGARDLESS i fkn loved this so much. its just ur run-of-the-mill visual novel, but i genuinly had such a fun time revisiting these characters and seeing them again that i dont even care dfghj and great art too!!

04/07 - Hiveswap Friendsim - 7/10

you have just crash landed on a strange alien planet. your bones are broken, you're lost and alone, you're hungry and thirsty. only one thing can save you now... FRIENDSHIP!!!! so i think i was supposed to play this one before pesterquest dfghj but i got too excited to see characters i already knew again :'] ANYWAY this game acts as a little introduction to some characters you can meet in the ill-fated homestuck point and click adventure game, hiveswap. while i didnt find this one as engaging as pesterquest, it was still an interesting insight into alternian life!! which im all about. i doubt it ever will, but i wonder if they'll ever port hiveswap to console... a man can dream

09/07 - Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy - 5/10

apollo justice, an up-and-coming defence attorney, begins his journey at the wright anything agency so i wanna start with a good thing off the bat because my opinion of this collection kinda plummeted towards the end. i rly like the 3d models, i think they capture the same level of character that the og 2d ones did and add new dimensions to everyone. everything else tho... hh idk man, i just rly didnt vibe with these at all, which sucks. i feel like it was just ret con after ret con after character assassination. big L tbh

23/07 - Grotto - 8/10

in the middle of the woods, in the heart of a mountain, lives a soothsayer. a startamer. using the constellations, you must provide the people who visit you with answers to their most pressing questions the art style of this game kinda drew me in, and the story ended up surprising me with how dark and interesting it is!! you end up making a lot of descisions that seem to have no good options, or giving people an answer that they end up misinterpreting for the worse due to ur limited options. for playing such a limited perspective, you get such a clear, vivid picture of whats happening outside your little cave. really interesting stuff

27/07 - Broken Age - 8/10

vella and shay are two teenagers with seemingly totally unrelated lives. they long for change, for freedom, and to do that they must break the traditions forced onto them from birth a point-n-click adventure with a surprisingly star studded cast!! and i didnt even know this was made by the same people who made psychonauts until i started it up :'] which means the art and humour were brilliant! honestly super fun, engaging characters and fun puzzles, and the way these two finally converge was honestly so brilliantly done, i did Not expect it at all

31/07 - Horizon Zero Dawn - 9/10

aloy grew up an outcast her whole life and its only when her past comes knocking does she finally begin to get some answers to her life long questions. also theres a bunch of huge killer robots :] this ones been on my backlog for so damn long, im so happy i finally got around to finishing it!! the combat in this is so addicting, i played it for like a week straight going for all the side quests n upgrades n such. the story was fkn brilliant, i feel like it balanced the the sci-fi elements really well with all the more fantasy stuff, and theres even some horror aspects that i really enjoyed!! im docking a point for glinthawks tho. FUCK glinthawks.

06/08 - Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective - 8/10

a man wakes up in a junkyard about to watch a woman get shot by an assassin. he has to help her but theres only one problem: hes dead. using his new ghostly powers, "sissel" must discover the truth behind his death and the strange events taking place tonight, before he disappears forever a game that id been super excited to play for how much it was hyped up by literally everyone i mentioned it to :'] the mechanics are simple but super satisfying, very rube goldberg machine, and the story is a tantalising mystery that unfolds at a great pace with plot twists and reveals happening at just the right moments to keep you engaged

10/08 - Cat Quest 3 - 9/10

the third installment of the cat quest rpg games takes on the open ocean, as our main lil cat buddy and their ghostly guide search the purribean for the north star treasure!! listen, i fkn Loveeeee the cat quest games and i recommend them to anyone who will listen and i mean that from the bottom of my heart. this one continues the trend of fun combat, an excessive amount of cat puns, and a surprisingly in-depth story that carried over from previous games. my big gripe is that this game is short as hell and it feels like even outside the story, there isnt as much to do as there is in the past games. still incredibly fun :]

27/11 - Bioshock: Remastered - 7/10

after your plane crashes in the middle of the ocean, you wind up in an underwater city called rapture where things seem to have gone completely tits up the gamer is back after 3 months with a game almost 4 years in the making on my backlog :'] not sure if this'll be the last game i have the time to complete this year but hopefully i got time for one more at least!! so theres a reason it took me so long to finish this one, its just cause it never rly clicked with me :[ which sucks cause its a rly cool premise with a ooky spooky atmosphere which is totally my vibe. ive been adamant i wouldnt play the rest (mainly because i thought the remasters would have the online trophies but, to my surprise, they dont) so time will tell if i keep on goin with this series

[taemcains]

I have a lot to say so idk where to start. So…..

I havent played the update but AN3 is pretty interesting. I like Raina as a MC and your chosen path can influence her worldview. She isnt like Mei or Lou or Lane, but she's tough and resilient. She might not be the smartest but she is relatable and considerate. I only romance the male lis, so I cant say much for the female lis. Want a morally ambiguous, borderline red flag li? Go for Xander. Prefer someone who is gallant yet stoic? Zane is the guy. You want a golden retriever bf? Choose Max (no not the MB one). What about the Chancellor (the guy with a mask if you ever checked the profile pic), you may ask? He's the villain dilf li. Might be unusual for RC but definitely VERY common in League of Dreamers, since the writer, Anton A., is a former LOD writer.

But, honestly, I'm not too familiar w his books because older LOD books have horrible translation. Some of his works I've read were Blooming Garden, Silence of The Sea (haven't finished both and SotS isn't fully translated yet and will never get complete english translation soooo….🤷‍♀️), and Dark Hunter (this one is from other app but cant remember the name). Anton tends to lore dump…LIKE A LOT, but you can trust him when it comes to romance. Also, he is unforgiving with his endings (think Jester but worse) so be careful!! AN3 might be meh lore wise, but the romance is pretty good so far.

Maybe you can try LOD, though they don't have diamond rush yet and diamond mining can be a pain. It doesn't help the app is buggy af and they have issues w Google so Android users cant purchase stuff via play store. Their current popular book is In Darkness Embrace. It's like Dune mixed with roman tragedy. It doesn't rely too much on the scifi, so if you care more about romance and drama, it could be a nice intro to the app. If you like gothic romance, try Vampyrus Novus but the translation is rough. Would recommend Law of The Beast if you want psychological horror.

due to certain circumstances, i've become interested in this book lately haha. i played ep1 for the diamonds before and i was overwhelmed by the lore so i gave up on it, but now that i have an incentive i'm reading a lot more mindfully and absorbing information. it's only been half an episode so far but i really like raina. she strikes a good balance between realistic enough for us to emmpathize and relate with her, while having some intentional traits to help push the story forward, as every mc should.

i already know who i'm romancing HAHA i'm curious to see how their relationship is going to develop. the essays will be written when i get to each scene in my playthrough <3

i haven't met adriana yet but i'm interested in her route too and might start a slot for her if i like her enough. none of the other lis are my type but i'd like to know what's going on with them.

'you can trust him when it comes to romance' roses literally started blooming in front of my eyelids btw. this has me so excited for the upcoming updates (and to catch up with what's already out). i pray none of the routes/lis are watered down and a disappointment like cainlane or other 'red flag' li ships (ironically) amen.

also the endings 😳 interesting... i hope it wrecks me 🙏

everything i've heard of lod so far is just that the lis are off the rails lmfaooo and a lovely friend has advocated for ide (the outfits are stunning though i'm not attracted to any lis on first sight). it's not my usual rodeo and i don't have the time to delve into another vn rn, but i'll keep it in mind!!

can't wait for dr to play an3 and the missing 🤍 now that i'm finally able to be absorbed into the world it's one of the few books i'm actually excited about

ps it's been half an episode as i said but the outfit thing is irking me so bad. can i not receive a normal, non-backhanded compliment in these trying times

[rebelfell]

missed connections ???? i need to know.

Lolol that’s my emotional support WCIL-verse fic.

It’s what my lil Halloween blurb transmogrified into (because I’m not-so-secretly obsessed with @superblysubpar and her Eddie in that story in particular). It may never actually see the light of day, but the idea is it’s all these times Eddie and his girl just *barely* missed each other between when they met on Halloween and re-met at the end of the story.

Very Serendipity vibes.

I do kinda love the chaos of this passage —

Ass.

That was all you saw as you pushed open the door to the bathroom. Pale, taught, round ass—framed by the hem of a black t-shirt and the top of blue checkered boxers under dark jeans that had been pulled down to the middle of equally pale thighs.

It clenched as its owner thrust into a girl who was propped up on the edge of the countertop, her legs slung around his narrow waist, high heels digging into his long, lean back.

A surprised yelp burst out of your mouth and you slapped your hand over it a second too late to stop the sound. The guy wasn’t even phased, clearly too wrapped up in what he was doing, but the eyes of the girl getting railed on the sink wrenched open and snapped to you looking like she was ready to breathe fire.

You were already gone, though.

Cheeks burning hot and eyes wide and buggy, you let the door to the bathroom bang closed behind you as you hurried back through the crowd to Shay.

“Okay,” you laughed when you found her. “I just saw two people fucking in the bathroom. If that doesn’t say time to go home, I don’t know what does.”

“Whoa, for real?” Shay’s eyes danced as she stretched up on her toes, trying to see over the crowd. “Think they want a third?”

“I don’t know, kinda sounded like he wasn’t gonna last much longer,” you smirked, face warming again as you tried not to think too much about the deep, guttural moans you’d heard coming out of that guy and the way the sound had made your insides bubble.

Shay settled back on her heels and shrugged. “Well, you can’t go,” she whined, her eyes going as big and round as she could make them to give you her award-winning pout.

“Come on!” you whined back. “I’ve been up all year!”

Your friend’s eyes crinkled from the effort of not laughing at your joke until she finally failed.

“Fine!” she exclaimed, throwing in a dramatic sigh for effect. “I guess I should be glad I got you out at all even if you’re abandoning me.”

“I’m pretty sure you’re in good hands,” you teased, giving her a playful nudge.

The two of you shot an appraising glance down to the other end of the bar where the guy she’d been talking to on Tinder was waiting to buy another round.

He was handsome—nice and tall with dark skin and a strong chin. And he’d turned out to be pretty sweet despite his slightly intimidating stature. You could see it in the nervous way his hand shook when he introduced himself to Shay for the first time not on the app, voice quaking as he gave you his name and wished you a happy new year even though it was still hours off.

“You know, you could be in good hands too,” Shay told you in a sing-song. “Jeff said a friend from his band is supposed to be coming by. ”

You arched your brow at her. “I’ve seen enough people coming tonight, thanks.”

Shay snorted at that and threw her arms open, her smile going lopsided in that blissfully tipsy way it always did. You entered her arms and she squeezed you tight against her.

“Happy New Year, babe,” she whispered in your ear, tucking her face snugly against you.

“Happy New Year.”

I love dumb nicknames. Especially if they come from inside jokes and I love dumb inside jokes, especially if they’ve gone on so long they’ve kind of lost meaning.

So of course I have the boys give each other dumb nicknames in the modern AU. I also gave them surnames and some will have middle names cause I said so They all have nicknames that the others give them. I don’t have all of them yet but I had to get these figured out because they cropped up in a drabble and I couldn’t keep them straight after it hit a certain word count. So this is what I got -

Hyrule’s nicknames:

Twilight calls him DoDo, because he calls him (Twi) DiDi. They think it’s funny.

Wild calls him Maps, from an inside joke between the two of them (they get lost even WITH maps).

Sky calls him Dori.

Legend calls him Cam, which is short for Camera boy.

Legend’s nicknames:

Wild calls him Post, like Postman but claims man doesn’t suit him so shortens it.

Hyrule calls him Gogo, because he never stops going (moving, talking, etc).

Twi and Sky call him Bunny due to an inside joke that all three refuse to explain.

Wild’s nicknames:

Legend, Sky, and Twi all call him some combo of Wild and something else.

Hyrule calls him Waze, cause it’s a maps app and it plays into their dumb joke.

Sky’s nicknames:

Twi calls him Noxie.

Legend and Hyrule call him Sky.

Wild calls him Myr and claims it’s short for Murder (it’s obviously not).

Twilight’s nicknames:

Sky calls him Evie.

Hyrule calls him DiDi.

Legend calls him crybaby and, more often, Seals (“cause he was blubbering like one” all the time).

Wild calls him Buggy, cause of a dumb joke about shopping carts.

[rorywritesjunk]

I guess the tumblr app crashed and wanted me to shut up because I wrote out headcanons for The Wives and hit post and... it didn't post. I mean, it did crash while I was writing it but the thing was saved as a draft and let me restore it, so I did.

Cool. Maybe it will randomly show up?

It's fine. Working on The Wives request. Hoping to get that finished and posted this weekend!

The idea tho of Buggy having three wives (my 3 OCs for him lol) is great because they love him but also will take each other's side in an argument. Buggy is outnumbered. These ladies are married to each other as much as they are to him. They love him so much but he's also an idiot sometimes so he gets to sleep alone in one of their rooms and they'll share the big bed. He loves them but will also pout the next morning about having to sleep alone in on a cold, hard mattress. Woe is Buggy.
