graphic design is my passion i say through tears with my head buried in my hands
#there is something incredibly wrong with me deep within my soul#every time iâm like oh i just need to make a quick sample thing it doesnât even have to look nice#well instead i end up staying up until 5:30 am with a new folder full of vector images and fonts#smashes my head against a wall#i donât even have a genuine interest in design anymore#itâs just residual from my -dark past-#i cannot be trusted with photoshop basically#someone delete it off my computer NOW#(ill just end up teaching myself gimp instead sigh)#(and iâll hate it the whole time)#snow.txt

Heylo my maggotsies... I'm sorry to do this but I have a thing that I really, really need to do (thank you Ash for helping me realise that) but I'm terrified to. so well. I'm going to make one of the posts (Neil reblogged me a couple of days ago so I feel pretty safe making one now since he only lurks by once in two weeks so this is as good a time as it gets to make a post and not expect many notes, yes I'm an overthinker and I'm actually scared of this getting notes).
Sigh. Here goes.
...I'm scared of even typing it.
Nope okay I can do this let's go.
If this post gets 1k notes, I'll look up jobs in design and film making that don't need a college degree.
2k notes, I'll sign up for an Alliance Francaise course so I can have another language on my CV, and I'll find a course that teaches me how to use design software.
5k, I'll look up distance learning alternatives, because just talking about physical college yesterday made me spend the whole morning and afternoon today in and out of nightmares screaming. Fuck.
10k, I'll tell my mum that I can't do the offline college. She's been talking to me about it, but I've been dodging because I'm not well-off and I really need to be earning and idk how to do that without college and I feel so guilty.
15k, I'll officially back out from the college (does that count as dropping out, if it hasn't begun? maybe half. i am a college and a half dropout, my 11th grade self would hate me and my 10th grade self would refuse to believe it).
I don't know what I'll do then. I don't know how to live as trans here in India, I don't know how to earn enough to be able to help my family, I don't know what I'm good at and I'm so fucking terrified. But. I spoke to @random-doctor-on-the-internet last night (I love you Ash you're such a fucking amazing human) and they made me realise that well maybe landing in a hospital with steroids to relieve an allergy attack because of exam stress isn't normal and so.
Well. Here I am. I know I can't do it, but I'm scared to risk everything, it's just not something people do here, dropping out. But also (TW s**cide statistics mentioned below the cut)... And so I've just. Got to do it, got to save myself and say no to college (cue say no to school, kids joke). Somehow be brave enough. And yeah.
To quote a financial express article: "In an alarming situation, a total of 7,62,648 suicides were reported in India between 2018 to 2022, Of this student suicides account for 7.6% at 59,239". Maybe if more people did say fuck you to the system here, that wouldn't be the case. That number could have been 59,240 (aside from everyone who wasn't counted and hushed up), that could have been me, and I don't want to put myself in that situation again. You know? Yeah.

Not sure if this counts, considering the entire point of an AU is to diverge from canon, and Joker doesn't have much about him that is canon regardless, but I'm doing it anyway-
Aaron's eyes have a slight dark-blue tint to them, and while he still has them, he stops wearing his glasses after taking on Kamoshida, since in his eyes the whole point of even wearing them was to seem more approachable. But since his record got leaked, he doesn't see the point in keeping them on. (It's also a subtle Spidey reference, since Peter also stops wearing glasses soon after he gets his powers)
He's also a big fan of SEGA and DC comics (western media in general honestly), and I bring it up because he's almost always wearing a T-shirt featuring one of those characters under his hoodie or blazer, though usually either Batman or Sonic (who fun-fact are who he based his heroic persona on. Batman was only briefly, doing a gravely tone and talking all serious, but he stopped doing that after accidentally scaring a kid he was trying to save. So now he's much more lighthearted and quippy)
There's some other stuff I could list for his costume and how it emotes and can subtly change itself in different situations, but I think I'll save that for its own post whenever I get around to making that costume design sheet-
Aside from that, the only other physical-ish change is for Arsène, who's wings are replaced with spider-legs to better fit with Aaron.
Though, he probably also needs a design sheet, as I'd like to change him up a bit more-
(ooc: i'll probably rb this in the morning but i was curious, does anyone have any physical headcanons for their muse(s) that differ from canon?
for example for my sumire she has her earrings ofc, and her hair is a little on the desaturated purple-r side than a deep red!
it's also not super obvious but sumire's eyes are a little sharper, while in canon her eyes are round & kasumi's are the sharper ones it's backwards for me :3 (gotta draw kasumi so u can see for REAL...) my hc is that when she wears her glasses she looks sharper than without, the opposite of akira who wears his glasses to soften his appearance!!!!
anyway heh LMK BC IM CURIOUS and also (ahem) if its ok to draw ur headcanons when i draw ur muse. THANK U HEHEHE OK GOODNIGHT FOR REAL)
#ooc - out of costume;#headcanons#you're more than welcome to draw these if you want but please don't feel obligated to#especially drawing him in costume or anything like that! God no#his design is so inconsistent because I've kinda been teaching myself to draw while doing them so the references are all over the place#MAN i need to make that design sheet

All In A Dayâs Work

Lewis Hamilton x BLACK!FEM!Reader
WARNINGS:This Headcanon Is NastyâŚI Mean Disgusting. Mean!Lewis(No seriously..heâs an asshole till like⌠the end lmfao), Mentor/Boss!Lewis, Dark!Lewis, Protege!Reader, Insults, Almost A Yandere!Lewis Undertone(I canât help myself), Lewis Being A Perv, Cockwarming Orally, Spit, Power Imbalance, Dumbification(Kinda?), Pet Names (Baby, Doll, Princess, Slut), Age Gap Unspecified(21+), Public Sex (Kinda), Stalking (Mild), Dirty talk, Gagging, Brief Mention Of Anal, Reader Is Kinda Naive, Probs More Idk.
SUMMARY: They say never meet your idols..
âŽâŽâŽâŽ
Mentor/Boss!lewis, who quite literally hated you.
He hated your work. He hated the way you worked. He hated your ideas. He hated the way you dressed too. How could you be in the fashion industry dressing like that, and who the hell did you think you were?
You, who looked up to him. You studied his style and cadence, he was your inspiration that kept you intrigued with art and fashion. There wasnât a piece you have made that you didnât imagine him praising you for, clapping from an audience of fellow famous designers as you win an award for pieces you made all by yourself. You dreamed so, so big.
Once a confident art school student who recently graduated turned a quiet, delicate thing in his presence. You needed to be that way. If you made yourself smaller, maybe he wouldnât seek to bother you like he did daily.
It wasnât just your liking for him and his work that made it hard to be around him, he made it his mission to make everything 10x more insufferable.
You didnât even know why he hired you, really. There were rumors that he purposely never hired fans, stating that their inspiration from him would blind them from using their own creativity, and you made it very obvious in your interview that you were nothing short of star struck. But, the job was yours on the spot, approved and stamped by Lewis himself.
Your excitement coursed through your veins, hungry for the ideas and tips heâd give you along the way.
Sadly, you were paid just about what dust was worth. As soon as you began working It seemed you were just there to be his punching bag, something he could take his anger out on when someone, or you, most likely you, pissed him off.
Boss!Lewis, who purposely overworked you, making you type up drafts for his articles just as he came up with it in real time. You wanted desperately to make him proud, so you listened to each syllable of each word, each well calculated, evil, full of venom sentence that could end someoneâs career that poured into your ears. You pay attention closely as you type, because he himself remembered everything he said, and if anything was out of place or missing from his rant, then heâd be more than pissed.
âThis is all you heard? Have your ears somehow popped off your head and walked out of the building?âŚYou wasted my time, and yours. Get outâ
Heâd say as he shoved the papers back into your hands, still warm from the printer. Did he even give time to actually check if they were right?
Your palms turned white with how hard you clutched the papers in your hands as you walked out, heels stabbing the marble floor with every step you took. He enjoyed seeing your display of emotion whenever he corrected you. This would toughen you up. Maybe even teach you to do things right next time.
Your ears felt hot with both embarrassment and frustration nearly every time he spoke to you. You thought working for your hero would be fun and empowering, but day by day you were proved wrong. How could someone so humble and kind on screen be so cruel to such a sweet girl like you? You were only trying..
Still, you tried harder to gain his respect by working more than you ever had, sewing till your fingers bled, drawing up new designs for him to see that you were getting better, bringing him sweet treats when you could to get even the smallest of thank yous, but again, he wasnât too fond of your work, or you.
And god forbid you propose the possibility that maybe he was the one that was wrong, he made the mistake and you just made the mistake of following his every word and direction.
Leaning over his desk, you present to him the digital catalog for this year's spring, items of different kinds of clothing littering your computer screen as you click each one individually until he tells you to move on.
âStopâ Lewis points to a picture to halt your scrolling, your heart skipping a beat as you think, âFuckâŚnow what?â
He tsks.
âThis suit is from last summer. I specifically told you last year seasons go into an archive, these are not average pieces people can just buyâ
You squint, your eyes glazing the screen. âBut I didnât hear- You didnât say that at allâ
âAre you calling me a liar?â
He turned to you in his office chair and closed your laptop down, his head tilted in question. You couldnât even look straight into his eyes to answer, it was like you saw all the souls he captured day to day screaming for mercy inside of them.
Before you could even fully get a word out he was already giving you your second warning that day.
âI suggest you watch the way you speak to meâ
You did so, limiting your criticism to none. You desperately needed to keep this job, the clout, and the money from it. You knew your ideas were good, you just needed Lewis to see that. You needed a little boost, and Lewis was well aware that you couldnât afford to lose anything you gained this year, seeing as it took you an entire one to find a company like this to take you seriously, having the honor to work as close as you do with one of Europeâs top designers. One day you hoped to be one just like him.
The company had many young workers, some directly hired by Lewis himself just like you, many with the same plans as you to become some big designer or director in the city. Some are not as hardworking as you, so you wondered why Lewis wasted time bullying you instead.
You complain to your coworkers often, thinking youâve found some kind of friend, but are quickly corrected when you find out someoneâs been snitching about what youâve been saying about your boss around the office..
Lewis towered over you as you sat in a chair facing his desk, hands fiddling in your lap with your head hanging low in shame. This wasnât the first time youâve been embarrassed in this very office, and it definitely wouldnât be the last.
âIf you spent half as much time actually doing what I tell you to do instead of wasting your energy bad mouthing me around the building, maybe you wouldnât have to be a fucking assistant anymoreâ He chuckled as he flipped through a catalog of unreleased designs while pacing the floor in front of you. The tapping of his shoes synced with the hard thump of your heart, every âclackâ leading a loud âlub-dubâ that you swore everyone in the room could hear.
Stopping in his tracks, he sighs and shakes his head, neat braids that framed his face swaying with the movement. He often faked his pity, you learned that early on. He cared none if you were struggling for whatever reason, in his head you either pull yourself up by your bootstraps or sit and suffer.
âIf you canât take the little shit I give you, then how do you expect to get anywhere in life, princess? Pretty faces can only get you so far, especially when you piss off important people before you even become somebodyâ
You keep your head down, careful to not make the mistake of shrugging at his question like the first time he had ever asked you anything you didnât know the answer to.
âWow..And youâre firedâ
You look up from your sweating hands, your heart skipping beats when you realize he was talking to the woman behind you.
âWhat? Me? But-â Her stuttering clearly didnât help her case as she tried to find the right excuses to keep her position as head director, which would eventually become vacant regardless. Lewis spared her a glare, but it was more of a warning for her to suck it up. He hated seeing people cry.
âNo one likes a snitchâ
You exited that room that day with a thankfulness not even gospel could pull from you. You kept your job and your spot next to him. Dignity and pride was in question, but at least you werenât jobless.
The next week, you focused more on yourself. You wore your own designs, hoping to catch some kind of compliments, and you did! Just not from Lewis. It was already known that Lewis hated your style, but you could at least say it wasnât as bad as his last assistant, whom he told you dressed like, and I quote, he âwalked into the closet every morning with his eyes closed and his hands tied behind his back with only his mouth as an option to pick up the items to wearâ...
You tried your best to dress to his liking and incorporate his style into your designs while also keeping your signatures. You spent your nights reading magazines he did interviews for to pick up on what he was feeling was in this year, but it wasnât easy when he was so picky.
âIs that rose gold?â
âWhere?.. On my watch?â
Lewis stayed silent, his eyes scanning you fully before he spoke again.
âNo, on the floorâ He said with sarcasm plaguing his voice, making you raise a brow.
âTake the jewelry off. It looks tarnishedâ
He nearly swooped you up just then to get something that actually matched your skin tone, but thatâd be him just stealing company time for something more..personal.
Boss!Lewis, who soon got tired of your poor attempts at outfits and began to dress you in things he thought were good looking, giving you a box of expensive new outfits at the end of the work day, each labeled for which days youâd wear them. He even invited you over to his for a few ârequiredâ trials. Yâknow, just to see how good the tailoring was.
And you were ecstatic about it. You, in YOUR idols house, getting adorned in expensive clothing you only dreamed about. It made up for everything he said to you that week to make you upset.
He took you into his very own study and told you what colors look best on you in each season of the year, gave you advice on what jewelry made you glow and the places you should put them depending on the cut of your clothes, he measured your waist, arms, legs, bust, everything, and told you what would go with your body type. Though you wished he could turn the heat up as he did so, you were starting to get a little cold in just your bra and underwear..
âLook at thatâŚit fits you so much better than what youâre usually inâ
Heâd turn you to a mirror as you tried to lower the mini skirt you wore, attempting to cover more than just the cup of your ass. You could nearly feel a breeze every time he passed you by to get a look from different positions.
Apparently his favorite was from the back.
âYou wonât be wearing anything I didnât put you in from now on. Think of it like a work uniform, since you dress like the world outside is blind. Now, gimme a spin, dollâ
Your new look caught the attention of other designers. Some loved the bold look, seeing it as a statement, like how fashion should be these days. They applaud you for testing out the boundaries and limits of a workplace. How professional could you be with your skirt riding up? Others were confused on why your style did an entire 180, and why they could see the valley of your breasts now.
Your answer was simple. Evolution is how the world stays afloat. If you donât change in time and willingly, the world around you will force you to before youâre ready. Lewis told you that.
Boss!Lewis, who wished he did this so much sooner. His very own life size Barbie he could dress up and down any way he wanted. It was just an extra perk to being able to say anything to you and you still coming into work the next day.
You were beautiful before, he never denied that, all his insults were technically on your intelligence. Nonetheless, he believed he outdid himself with this idea, he could truly see your potential now. Everything you put on brought out your features so much more, it was almost dramatic, and you were starting to truly live up to the nickname he gave you. Now he wanted to know if you were just as flexible as any other doll..
Boss!Lewis, who couldn't get enough of looking at you. It was never an innocent attraction, it was never about wanting to help a protege, this was all for him and him only, the fashion industry be damned. He didnât care about introducing you to a world of anything as soon as he got half of your clothes off.
The amount of times he was imagining fucking you in front of everybody should have been illegal. He even debated fucking you in his study when he invited you over, watching you drool dumbly with a tiny dress hanging halfway off of your waist. Your very own icon using you for what you were worth. He was already imagining things before, but the daydreams were starting to prohibit him from his duties of CEO.
He had to do something. Fucking his hand in the privacy of his office wasnât gonna suffice forever.
Boss!Lewis, who went to bed at night thinking of you. Thinking of the ways he could bend you, how many times he could make you cum in one round. When he was with you he pondered on what kind of panties you were wearing. Were they black? Pink, maybe? Did they have a cute little bow on the front like they did when he dressed you? Were they lace and see through? So see through that he could bend you over his desk and spread your ass with his hands to see the pink peeking from behind your brown lips. God, he wanted you so fucking bad from the start.
Boss!Lewis, who started to become irrational. Wondering where you went after work, if you had anyone else to see. God knows what Lewis would do to him, or get done to him. He even followed you sometimes when he couldnât take the wondering, you were absolutely oblivious to the Ferrari behind you at every stop.
Boss!Lewis, who didnât need to see where your house was, you worked for him, so of course he had your address, but he needed to see what routes you took. How long would it take you to get there after he snuck into your bottom floor apartment and stole a pair of your underwear after snooping through your things, carefully placing them back where they belonged before snapping a picture or two. Money took him a long way as he bribed the security with a few bills to ensure he wouldnât speak a word of his visit. Of course the dumb fuck agreed.
You notice your underwear going missing, but you pass it off as just misplacing them in all the other clothes that were being delivered from Lewis.
You also noticed how close Lewis was becoming, but that just made you giddy. Someone you still adored as an artist finally warming up to you.. And as a boss, he had to watch you for reasons, right?
From the time you got to work and clocked in from the time you left, he was watching from his office, glass windows so clear that you could see the condensation from his breath on it as he looked down upon his workers. When you left, his curtains were immediately pulled close.
âHeâs just being a bossâ âHeâs always like that, right?â âDonât think too much, this is your dream, Youâll ruin your chances with himâ Your friends would say when you confided in them about the constant watching, but they didnât understand that he wasnât watching everyone, he was watching you. You werenât sure you understood that he was just watching you either.
Time passed and now he didnât just watch. He visibly followed. He touched. Brushing a singular finger up your bare arm as you worked aside him, the silver ring on his finger sent shivers straight up your spine and electricity to your core. That jump started a second heartbeat that wouldnât settle till you walked away from him.
Boss!Lewis, who was unashamed, barely hiding the lingering stares or brushing.
âSir?â
Youâd dare to speak as he pressed himself up against your ass. It wasnât firm, but just enough for you to feel him. Your hands were unable to move to continue writing up a list of fabrics he needed for later that week. You became aware of everything around you. The ticking of the clock on the wall was loud, the cold wood of his desk pressing on your forearms as you wrote was noticeable.
âKeep goingâ
He nudged with a hand on your hip as you let out a shaky breath. It was hard to work like this, you could barely believe it was happening where it was, with whom it was.
He thought you sucked at your job before, you could be no better now with him breathing down your neck, grabbing at your curves and using the excuse of just trying to feel the fabric of your clothes.
âSilk?â He asked, his hand growing dangerously close up your thighs from the rim of your dress.
Your breathing hitched, your hand hesitantly swiping his off of your thigh before you nod, trying to distract yourself from the intense staring by grabbing the nearest needle and thread, pretending to touch up a bralette in front of you that was basically already done.
Lewis smiles.
Boss!Lewis, who hadnât gotten any better with distractions since testing his limits with you for months now. Watching you squirm, anticipating what was next was so much more satisfying than designing these days. But you? You had no room to slack.
Heâd call you in his office just to watch you work, then complain about not getting enough done.
Just under your breath, youâd make smart comments to release yourself from some of the stress of the day, unable to hear his complaining for hours without a word for yourself like you used to. You didnât say it to his face exactly, but heâd be near, his cursing prompting you to speak. You werenât the girl you were a few months ago, the less he criticized you, the more you expressed yourself outwardly. You knew him, and he was all talk for the most part, you felt you deserved to say at least one thing even if only you knew what was said.
âMaybe if you did your job instead of looking up my skirt all day, damn pervâŚâ
He heard you. He heard everything, remember?
âPerv?â
Perv? No, No, No. Lewis couldnât let that slide. He wasnât the one that was being weird, it was you. Sure, he made you dress a certain way, but it was your fault you looked like that. He was not. a fucking. pervert..Fuck.
Boss!Lewis, who made use of your mouth that had started to get smarter and bolder towards him the longer you worked for him. He kept you on your knees, under his desk with his dick stuffed in your mouth. Your jaw ached, and every time you made it known, heâd shove you down further, more spit trailing down your chin. He didnât care if anyone knocked, or walked in. To them, it was none of their business, too scared to even mention the red bottoms slightly sticking from underneath the desk or the abrupt choking sound theyâd hear in the middle of their conversation.
It just made Lewis even harder that they knew something was up. But no one was bold enough to speak up about it, scared theyâd get blackballed from the industry they so desperately wanted to be in. If Lewis said they werenât to be worked with everâŚthey wonât be.
After he allowed you to stand, your makeup had already smudged off, kisses trailing down his abs and a red print of your lips stained around the base of his dick so perfectly, that he took a picture of it when he went home that night and sent it to you straight from his own business number, his unbuttoned work shirt, abs and tattoos in shot and all.
You gasp when you opened it, your phone flying from your hand to the carpeted floor. You hadnât even recovered from the events, and here he was reminding you that it definitely did happen.
âThis would be a great new tattoo, yeah? XX.
-Sir. Lâ
Boss!Lewis, who finally got the excuse he needed to do whatever he wanted to you. Why didnât he just start spanking you from the beginning? Would have been easier than yelling at you, you probably would have let him so easily. All he had to tell you was it was a crucial part of discipline, of becoming your true artistic self. You would have been putty.
Boss!Lewis, who wanted to leave your panties soaked with his cum leaking out of you almost every late work night. So he did. You wouldnât work overtime if you didnât want that, obviously.
With every step you felt your lips glide together, making the mess so much worse. Your coworker asks why youâre walking weird the next morning, you say you sprained your ankle in your heels, but youâre fine. If they knew it was really all because your boss was creampie-ing you at nearly 2 in the morning, youâd be shamed out of the building. Climbing the ladder by sleeping with the CEO? How whorish of you.
Unfortunately, your little sessions with your beloved mentor werenât making your days easier. How could you work properly with your panties soaked with your own arousal? Sloppy work made you upset, but so did unresolved cravings.
Boss!Lewis, who made you ride him while writing up notes as a punishment now. There was no excuse for mistakes. You had all the time you needed to double check.
âSpread your legs. Good girl. Keep goingâ
You complained with a whine and spread your legs further across his while continuing to bounce on him. Your thighs were burning like you had just done three sets of squats back to back, you were sweating, and the seat below you two was no dryer. Your handwriting was fucked, you couldnât read a word back to yourself, but if you stopped, you didnât know what heâd do next.
He caressed your back softly as you work your hips down on him, the clap of your ass against his pelvis bringing a smile to his face.
âOh, babyâŚyou better hope I can understand whateverâs on that paperâ
Boss!Lewis, who gave you new strict rules on not talking to any male workers. It didnât matter if they spoke to you first, you walked right by without a word, your eyes glancing upwards and spotting a familiar dark figure watching from your bossâs office.
You now had to cover up more, afraid anyone would see the hickeys that would magically appear on your neck whenever youâd leave Lewisâs office.
If the turtlenecks wasnât a telling sign of what was going on, the sound of your voice coming out of the room sure would have been.
He began gagging you with your own thong, shoving it into your mouth as he slipped his fingers inside of you, his rings and tattoos coated with a thin layer of your cum. He licked up your neck, flicking his tongue over the darkening bruises as his fingers slid in knuckles deep.
âBe a good little slut and cum for me, okay? Can you do that for me, baby?â
You squealed into the cotton fabric in your mouth and threw your head back, your bangs falling out of your face as his fingers simultaneously pressed against your spot until your pussy was squirting like a fountain, wetting his rolled up sleeve.
That happened twice more. Eventually, he couldnât shut you up with just a gag, but his fingers down your throat made the perfect replacement.
âYou got the new designs all wet. I suggest you restart on these as soon as you get home, okay?â
12 hours wasnât nearly enough time for you to get those sketches done, but you did it anyway, thanks to coffee and binge worthy shows.
You did so good, this was just another excuse for him to be able to finish inside you again, a hand wrapped around your throat to keep you still in the small office chair as he sung your praises about how much you were growing under his teachings.
Heâd caress your face sweetly before sliding his thumb into your mouth, watching you suck on command. He loved the way you did as you were told without question.
âMy pretty baby. You take it so wellâ
So proud you didnât even need prepping from his fingers this time, your pussy greedily swallowed his dick and allowed him to fuck the way he wanted to. Feverishly. Every touch from him so fucking needy that he could just bite you. Your ass would be next, the size of him deliciously stretching you out with the help of your own slick and his spit as lubricant.
Maybe this little exchange was making you better as an artist. It seemed so. The insults were coming less and less, your designs were getting accepted more and more.
Boss!Lewis, who took you out to celebrate your growth, gifting you a ring with a tiny L carved on the inside of it and red bottom shoes that would stun the office. He treated you with the utmost respect with the paparazzi watching, making sure the image was nothing more than him going out to eat with one of his protĂŠgĂŠs innocently tagging along. Then, he took you back to his place and fucked you like a slut.
Your mouth was left open so wide you were convinced it would eventually lock in place like that. He didnât even let you make it to the bed, the floor and your arched back was all he needed to get as deep as he wanted inside of you. You could scream all you wanted there. You were sure his maids got the hint to stay away from the foyer by now.
After he finished using you how he wanted, stuffing you full with his cum until he was perfectly satisfied, heâd kiss you on your forehead as if nothing had happened and youâd thank him. For tonight, and all your opportunities.
âI think someone deserves a promotion nowâ
Finally, you were where you needed to be.
âŽâŽâŽâŽ
đâ I really hope yall liked this cause I cannot get Boss!Lewis off of my fucking mind đ I need him so bad yall like I literally had to FORCE myself to stop writing more smut in this đđđđ

LaDS Men x Blind/Visually-Impaired!MC Headcanons
A/N: Not my usual style of writing, but Iâm a blind/ADHD girlie myself and was inspired by lovely posts like this one sharing HCs about the LIs interacting with disabled/neurodivergent!MC. I tried to account for a variety of experiences myself and other blind friends have had, but blindness is a spectrum, so please take my preferences and interpretations with a grain of salt :)
cw: fluff, soft LADS boys, brief mentions of ableism
đŚâ⏠Sylus đŚââŹ

Modifies them all to an excessive degree to have, like, infrared mode in addition to contrast filters to reduce eye-strain
always scouring online for new cane tips, gps and self-driving cars to increase your mobility and independence
if you have a guide dog, thatâs his new bestie. Also picks up on the training super fast
teaches you how to fight with accessible techniques, helping you drill the sensation of the correct movements into your muscle memory
you find yourself able to relax around him because heâs so considerate without making you feel like a burden
loves reading to you, whether it be poems, stories, random posts online. He knows you love his voice
anyone trying to deny you an opportunity or entry into a store/restaurant will catch those hands, or the full might of Onychinus
⨠Xavier â¨
buys you the softest blankets/pajamas/scarves because he knows the textures you prefer
really good about using tactile labels around the house and buying products you could easily recognize by touch
uses his Evol to adjust lighting or to teleport you out of overwhelming situations
Low-key jealous of your service animal but his gratitude for their hard work wins out
went through training blindfolded to better understand your needs
consciously and habitually covers your blind spots in battle without being prideful about it or discounting your skill
always stands on the side nearest the road when youâre walking together and points out stairs, curbs and steep inclines
gently reminds you not to apologize for advocating for your needs
đ Caleb đ
grew up with you so he understands this whole song and dance. He deeply gets the nuances of what you need without asking
can sense it if youâre tired of explaining yourself to a new person and will swoop in to do it for you
enthusiastic about taking you anywhere you need to go, brags about being your chauffeur
overprotective as hell but he does his best not to infantilize you. He just really cares
smoothly points out or guides you around obstacles and rough terrain
offers to read any restaurant menu that has bad contrast or is far away, highlighting items he knows you like
you video call him anytime you misplace something and he has a knack for knowing where you left it
jokes that he is your guide dog
extra-passionate about disability rights and unfair wages
very considerate of your needs when planning dates or outings, but will run new activities by you and never assume you canât do something
đ Rafayel đ
tries hard to make his exhibits and pieces inclusiveâ loves experimenting with tactile elements in his art and arranges for braille and large-print signs at every event
personally narrates the audio explanations in the gallery/ museum tours for your benefit
makes you custom cane charms, labels, helps decorate the cases for your technology to make using it more fun

will body-block any bikes or people coming at you from an unseen location
goes full Karen in your defense if someone is rude about your needs or refusing accommodations
âwatch where youâre going.â âUm, sheâs blind??? Feel bad now?â
his blind jokes are pure artâhe was wary of offending you at first, but now heâll participate in banter with you and make you laugh your ass off without being mean-spirited or degrading (unless youâre into that)
âď¸ Zayne âď¸
the king of sided-guide, will navigate you calmly and seamlessly through any crowd or tough situation
when someone pulls a stunt like âoh, youâre blind? How many fingers am I holding up?â Zayne will give them the blankest stare and then launch into a dry medical explanation of your condition to make them feel awkward
has extensive knowledge of your medical records/schedule and will remind you of or accompany you to appointments
you catch him reading ophthalmology books in his spare time and have to beg him not to get yet another specialization
the first to notice when your eyes are strained or youâve got a headache. Ready with a cold compress or painkillers

đMy first Laicille fanart I didđ

đother doodles inspired by a Winx meme and the movie Red that I love + my Marscylla design while I wait for the animated one!




đopen for my reaction to the succubus as a first time reader (as accurate as possible)
I want to specify that when reading this I still wasn't completely full on their ship, I thought they were cutez together, expecially for the nightmare arc and Marci teaching Laios healing magic, but I was still unsure.


So when these panels come up I just think 'Marci is being nosy as always' and 'he really probably just thought of a monster', which isn't untrue but ykđ¤ˇââď¸
I was totally expecting a 'Laios moment' explanation for the bite lol
Though I also thought it was extra-cute that he let his succubus kiss him on the cheeky like- HOW CUTE IS THAT? AWWW


THENâď¸
THEN THESE FREAKING PAGES COME UPâď¸âźď¸
I swear I was reading laying in my bed but I felt the urge to sit up straight and reread like 10 times 'cause I couldn't believe my eyes!
And I was shocked that what I thought was a cute kiss on the cheeck was a freaking lick and a legit bite- There was absolutely ZERO need for it to be on the face at all and yet succubus went for the face bzxjjssj TWICE.
There are so many more reasons why I think this screams undeniably LAICILLE! but there are definitely more accurate analysis on tumblr so I leave the job to those.
I love these pages so much that when I finished the whole manga I printed them and pasted them on my walls.
I love these pages so much that I referenced the lick panel in one of the illustrations I submitted for the Laimar fanthology. (you'll see it when it's time uwu)

After that, I must admit I wasn't concentrated much on the lore with Winged Lion and stuff, so I was just laughing at the funny scenes happening right after:
Laios taking the bite with his face all skrunched up and red from embarrassment and Lion calling him an idiot for that.
He asking for wyvern breakfast even if he han no idea what's going on yet. If it's monster food, you never miss the chance, right?đĽ´
The freaking đł face he does when dream!Marcille greets him good morning. "Oh shit that's my bestie pouting her lips...the bestie that was sexily biting me few moments ago...oh man, oh lord! Act normal! ACT NORMAL!!"
I just find it funny, the image of perfecly logical Laios trying to figure out why the hell his succubus had Marcille's face or even, why not, put aside the whole thing to never be discussed again out of fear of his own blooming feelings or the party's judgement, expecially after what happened with the previous party mage, Asivia.
But fear not, after taking a pause and recollecting myself I continued reading and absorbing the lore like god intendedđđ
In the end, this all scene made me realize that Laios definitely could see her that way and made me start considering the ship more seriously. And since then Marcille also showed up to be warmer to Laios and they often found comfort in each other's help and presence. At that point I myself was fully in love with them<3
Thanks for stopping by and reading my reaction, hopefully you had fun!

Why aren't comics more common in TTRPGs?

(This is about game design and presentation) In school one of the things I discovered is that I have trouble absorbing info from a big text book. And most TTRPGs are presented as text books. Once I understand the basic information in the book (chemistry textbook or RPG sourcebook or whatever) I can deal with the book on my own terms. I can dive into individual parts and learn, and slowly absorb the book as a whole. But I need help to get there. I need an access port. Sometimes this comes in the form of someone explaining the book to me. Explaining the rules of the game or the outline of an essay. This is great, and gives me a way in so I can absorb and master the book myself. But I don't always have someone in my life who can do that. Interestingly, I don't have this problem with novels at all. Narrative feels easier to access, at least for me.
In school I also discovered Scot McCloud's Understanding Comics. This is a pretty fantastic book which I'd recommend to everyone. It helped me understand how I process information. More importantly, it helped me understand the different people process information in different ways. I hadn't realized that at age 16, although I was starting to suspect it. Before I started making comics or games I used to be a teacher. As a teacher I could see that some of my kids were struggling with the information I was giving them, in the same way I had struggled in school. I started using comics in class to help reach these students. I'd draw little comics on my handouts or on the whiteboard to explain what we were learning. The goal wasn't to provide an entire lesson in comics form. I'm not Scott McCloud! Instead, I was trying to find an access point for my students. An on ramp. A port of entry to the ideas and material we were covering so they could engage and eventually absorb the information. It worked so well. It worked like magic. Why don't we do this more in TTRPGs? I used comics in my early games, Panty Explosion Perfect and Ocean. These were narrative comics, not rules comics, but the goal was to provide both an example of what play looked like (from a narrative standpoint) and a point of access for players who weren't sure what the game was or how to engage with it. My thought was that if you understood what the game was supposed to look like it would be easier to approach the rules. (A short comic from Ocean. The book has a bunch of these)

When my brother Nick and I started working on The Magical Land of Yeld I knew I wanted to use comics more directly as a teaching tool. Especially because part of our target audience was new and younger players who might look at a big text book (Yeld is a giant 400 page hardcover) and just bounce right off it. Like I did in school and like I often do with big games. So I needed to teach with examples and illustrations, and especially comics.

The first comics you'll encounter in the Yeld book are narrative, and designed to get you into the ideas and themes of the game. But in the first few pages we also start sprinkling in rules comics. These are presented along side the rules text. They don't replace that text, which is important. The text explains the rules in greater detail, and includes information that just couldn't be added in a single page comic. Instead, the comic is intended to be a point of access to the rules text. A player can read the comic, understand the basic concept, and feel comfortable engaging with the text. That's the goal, to make players comfortable and to make the rules text accessible.

We use comics to teach basic game mechanics, but we also use them to explain specific player facing systems. Sometimes these are things that really do need a comic to explain them, but sometimes we use comics as lures to draw player attention to mechanics that we're afraid they might otherwise not engage with. For example, in playtesting we found that when characters died during a fight the player would just sit there for the rest of the fight and not engage. It turned out, since you don't do anything in D&D once you die (except slowly die more), most players assume that's how all games work! So they hadn't even noticed that in Yeld you become a Ghost and get to ghost around and do fun Ghost stuff! I decided to create a comic that not just explained this but drew attention to it and showed why it was a fun (and important) part of the game!

Structure of play isn't always obvious to players, especially if they're new to TTRPGs or have only played D&D. You pick up habits from the games you play the most, and since most gamers play nothing but D&D there is a tendency to assume EVERYTHING works like D&D. Yeld doesn't, so we decided to take nothing for granted and make comics that very specifically show what a session of play looks like. In this example, it may not look a lot different from D&D, but the adventure is specifically divided into 5 parts. The comic illustrates these parts in a way that is easy to understand. The accompanying game text explains each part in more detail and illustrates how they are important to play. The comic serves as a ramp that gets players to the info they need.

Not all of our comics are player facing. Yeld has a rotating GM (which is awesome, btw), and this means every player gets a chance in the Game Master roll. Which means every player needs to understand how this roll works. Comics like this one, which explain how to build monsters to use in your game, help make the process easy to understand. Again, its about building a point of entry for players. A player might say "I don't want to GM, it sounds to complicated!" But its not. You just need to make it easy for them. Make the mechanics and responsibilities easy to understand. Show why they're fun! In Yeld, its important that each player takes on the GM role from time to time, since we're building a story together. Making it look fun is important! Comics help with that. What's more fun than comics?

Narrative comics are important too. At least for Yeld. I don't think every game benefits from them (although I always love seeing them). Narrative comics show players what the game is supposed to look like. What the characters do and say. What environments they visit. Narrative comics set a tone. Narrative comics let new players understand what a game is about immediately! We can hand a Yeld book to a new player or customer and they know what's up in seconds, just by reading a short single page comic. That's a powerful tool. So why don't more games use comics? Part of it is that game creators are usually not comic creators. There's not a lot of crossover. That always surprises me, but both disciplines take a lot of work. Who has time for both? Even when you have game designers that are comic creators, they often don't include comics in the games (Lancer???). I don't think this means game designers don't recognize the value of comics. I've had this conversation with so many game designers, and they usually agree that comics are useful tools. But if you don't know how to make comics, making comics for your game can be daunting. What rules should you focus on? How do you present that information in comic form? How many comics should you make? How do you hire someone to make comics, anyway? Hiring artists is expansive, btw. You know that, of course. Hiring an artist to make a set of comics for your game could cost you thousands of dollars (or more), depending on what you want. Of course, you can try to make your own comics. And you should! Really! A poorly drawn comic is not necessarily a bad comic. The point is to get your information across to your reader. to provide a point of access. You don't need great art for that (although great art can help attract people to your game). Stick figure work just fine. Here's an example, the layout for the Tea Dragon card game. Another artist took this layout and redrew it in their own style. But my goal here was to be simple and concise with my explanation of the rules. To make the game accessible.


There's a few more pages of this, but you get the idea. The purpose is to explain, and make the player comfortable with learning more. The art matters to the extent that it serves this goal. In fact, flashy or complicated art can get in the way! You'll notice in that most of the Yeld rules comics I posted above the art is pretty simple, with solid color backgrounds. You want to make your comics as easy to read as possible, and that includes avoiding clutter, overpacked word balloons and messy layout. Readers are easily distracted. It doesn't take much for them to set down a book at all. A complicated phrase or hard to read font can often be enough. And once they set a book down they may not every pick it up again. That's more true for a big text book than it is for a comics, but its still true for a comic. So our goal is to make our comic the easiest, smoothest point of access it can possibly be. So easy and smooth that the reader can slide right into the rules text without noticing! Here's my general process for creating a rules comic. This is from my friend Brian's game Scofflaws. I start by taking the basic mechanics that need to be illustrated and breaking them down into panels. The goal is to make each panel readable and not overwhelm the player. At this point I'm just doing a rough sketch. It may not eve=n be readable, but that's fine!

Next, I refine the text and art. I decide on the exact language I'll use, and I finalize where characters and other elements will be placed. As you can see, the actual layout didn't change much here. Sometimes it changes a lot!

Finally, I create the finished art. Honestly, the previous step was just fine. It explanans the rules I wanted to explain. But this last step allows me to add in some narrative flavor. The first panel contains a complicated background in order to present the game's setting. The characters look like the kind of characters you'll play in the game. This isn't nessacary for presenting rules, but it helps present the game as a whole. You want players to engage with every part of your game. The last thing you want them doing is picking up your dungeon crawling game and going "Oh, this would be great for playing Star Wars!"

(I probably shouldn't have chose than shade of red for the background. It makes the text a bit hard to read!) So again, why aren't we seeing more comics in games? Its not as if they don't exist at all, and I'm personally always excited to see them. I recently opened the Final Fantasy RPG box set and was so happy to find the rules were accompanied by cute comics. And there's lot of other examples (maybe you can post some in the comments). But I think comics are a clearly underused tool in game design and presentation. And as a comic person, let me tell you that you're leaving a valuable tool on the table if you're not considering using comics. Are they right for every game? Maaaybe not? But I think MANY MANY MANY games could benefit form them. Are they expensive? They can be. Are they hard to make? They can be. Are there people you can go to for advice? Hey, my door is open.

neurons (roman godfrey x reader)
WARNINGS: 18+, mentions of sex, foul language, author knows nothing about neurons lol
summary: Roman Godfrey is most certainly not the best study partner to have the night before an important test. what a shocker (not).
word count: 1,106
a/n: kingkat is BACK!! exams are fucking killing me, so when that is over, you best believe I will be back to my usual uploading schedule!! however, I scrapped this together for y'all (and also for myself because pls I need a Roman to get me through this study period). also, WARNING, I don't know anything about chemistry and neurons, I just had to think about anything other than my test rn which is in 6 hours... ENJOY<33 (also the gif is from @godfreysteel if I remember correctly, pls kick my ass if I'm wrong ouf)
"A neuron is an excitable cell that fires electric signals called action potentials across a neural network in the nervous system. They are located in the brain and..."Â Roman peeked up from the chemistry book with a rather offended look streaking across his face; "You're not listening to me, are you?"
Realizing I was being spoken to, I raised my head from the bed, flaunting a nervous smile. Honestly, I had nearly dozed off. "I am, I am! I swear, I was just!--"
"Listening with your eyes closed?"
Fuck. With a groan, I buried my face in the duvet I was lying on. "Look, Ro, I really appreciate your help, but I'm not going to learn this the night before the test... We should just give up,"
I knew that Roman Godfrey wasn't known for being the best at school-- however, he was the only person in my contacts who was available at midnight, and I was having the biggest case of brain fog known to man. Nothing was sticking. Seven hours and forty-six minutes until I was supposed to be seated in the auditorium at school, taking the dreaded midterm exam in chemistry, this was my only option. This test was supposed to be notoriously hard, so of course I hadn't bothered looking at it before now. Of course.Â
Huffing, Roman spun around in my chair, looking both bored and frustrated. "I'm so glad I took this test last year," he muttered, just like every other senior did when this test had been mentioned over the past few weeks. "I'm aware that I can't help you with much, 'cause you didn't exactly call the designated nerd or something. But now that you've dragged my ass all across town to not sleep with me, you could at least listen?" He moved the chair closer to the bed, leaning over to poke my head. "Think of it like you're listening to an audio book, okay? My voice is nice, after all. Deep and warm, like--"
"Honey?" I chimed in, raising myself to look at him.Â
Roman blinked. He looked at me like I was the biggest idiot in the world before he plainly answered; "No. Pussy,"Â
That was it. Having my fuck-friend teach me chemistry certainly didn't make me the brightest girl in the state. This was a bad idea; I groaned, rolling my eyes as I shifted on the bed, sitting up. "Keep going, then," I said, doing my best not to yawn. "A neuron is an... excited cell?"
Smirking, Roman shook his head-- I wondered whether this made him feel smart. He had taken this test last year and passed it, after all. It wasn't looking like I would be passing it, so did that make Roman Godfrey smarter than me...?
That was a mortifying thought.
"The neuron is an excitable cell, whatever the fuck that means," Roman pointed to the paragraph in the book. "Let me continue, maybe it'll make sense to you if I keep going?" He kicked back in the chair again, leaning his legs on my bed before he lowered his voice, getting into a rather caricatured character of a narrator; "They are located in the brain and spinal cord and help to receive and conduct impulses. Neurons communicate with other cells via synapses, which are specialized connections that commonly use minute amounts of chemical--"
I yawned. Loudly. I couldn't take it anymore.
Roman's eyes shot up from the book, wider than ever. I held my breath, ready to be told off once more for not focusing properly, yet the next words that left his lips were ones of charming amusement; "I see that this isn't making you very... excitable,"Â
I let out a relieved sigh. "I give up. Could we just fuck instead? That thought makes me excitable,"
Slamming the book shut, Roman grinned. "You never disappoint," he murmured. Getting up from the chair, he motioned for me to lay down again; he didn't waste any time making his way between my legs, pressing soft kisses to my thighs. His words were interrupted with every kiss; "If you don't pass the test-- I'll pay someone to-- tweak your scores. Don't-- worry about it."
My breath hitched as I smiled up at the ceiling. "Why didn't you say that-- fuck, earlier?" I squirmed beneath Roman as he pushed the soft pillows of his lips to my clothed sex, humming. Every kiss, every touch, felt electrocuting; I wondered whether the neurons in my body had anything to do with these bodily reactions. Did they? I had no idea, and I realized I wasn't going to know at the end of the night either.Â
"Because," Roman said, a hint of a laugh in his voice as he kissed his way up my body, listening to my nervous giggles of pleasure. "I like feeling-- helpful. No one has ever-- asked me to--" His kisses were getting wetter, more eager; "--revise anything-- with them."
My hands went to his hair, tugging at the tips of his soft, brown locks. "Makes sense," Of course. Who in their right mind would call Roman Godfrey to help them practice for a test? I knew that the only thing on his mind was pussy and... pussy. Along with all the other things about the female body that made him excitable, certainly.Â
Roman pressed teasing kisses to my neck, wrapping his arms around my tired body. "Are you gonna call me the next time you have a test?" he purred.
"Um... Depends,"
"On what?"
"On whether I'm planning on taking it seriously," I gave Roman's hair another tug, hoping he'd kiss me properly soon. "If it's a life or death thing, you're probably not gonna get involved. However, if it's another chemistry test..."Â
Hovering above me now, Roman nudged my nose with his as he smiled against my lips. "I see where you're going with this, I'll take it. But let me redeem myself, okay?"
"Uh... how?" An impossible task.
"I'll teach you the one thing I actually remember," he breathed. Judging by how quickly his smile turned into a smirk, I could almost foresee the next thing coming from his mouth; "The neurons are connected to the nervous system, so they're responsible for making you feel this."Â
Roman's lips pressed against mine for the briefest moment-- it was so gentle, so tentative, that for a second, I thought I had simply imagined it. This wasn't usually how he kissed me. This was different. This was gentle, sincere. My breath felt stuck in my chest as my fist in his hair faltered, feeling as though my body was on fire.Â
Fucking neurons, giving me hope that I could both pass the test and have Roman Godfrey for myself.Â
(thank u to Wikipedia LMAOOO I would go on and refer to the article like I've been taught but I'm SALTY so no<3 mwah)

Eijiro teaches you how to use his headpiece.
1.2k words
âYou guys are all wrong,â Minoru declared. âYaoyorozu has the best hero costume.â
âCan you not be a perv just once Mineta!â Mina yelled, bonking him on the head.
You all had been discussing who had the best hero costume in the common room of the dorms before Minoru interrupted with his own opinions.
You rolled your eyes ignoring him and moving on, âKirishima, I think your costume is pretty cool,â
âWhat really?!â The redhead perked up on the couch.
âNo way! How is that any less of a pervy answer than Mineta?! Come on, what about me? My jacket is pretty cool!â Denki said eager for attention.
Mina ignored Denkiâs desperate cry for praise and turned to you, âIt is kind of an interesting choice since Kirishimaâs costume is basically just pants,â Mina giggled.
Your cheeks flushed at your friendâs words, âNo no! Iâm not trying to be a creep or anything!â You backtracked.
âItâs ok donât worry! I uh- didnât think thatâ Eijiro said blushing alongside you.
âI was thinking about your headpiece when I answered, you designed it yourself?? It looks so cool!â You spoke trying to redeem yourself.
âNah- donât lie. You just like watching him run around without a shirt,â Denki huffed.
âLeave them alone man!â Eijiro said shoving Denki off the couch. âYeah, I designed it myself,â he spoke turning his attention back to you. A prideful smile on his face from your praise.
âThatâs really impressive!â You smiled. âHow does it work?? Is it hard to get on?â
âThe thing breaks every time heâs in a fight! Itâs not that impressiveâŚâ Denki mumbled to himself on the floor.
Eijiro ignored him and answered, âIt just latches on- itâs pretty simple. I can go grab it and show you.â He offered.
âOh-ok!â You blushed, as he sprang off the couch to head up to his dorm.
âWait!â Mina called. âWhy donât you just go upstairs with Kirishima? Then he doesnât have to make so many trips up and down the elevator,â Mina suggested with a sly smile.
âAre you kidding me?!â Denki exclaimed, but Mina covered his mouth.
âGo you two!â Mina encouraged, shooing at you both with her free hand.
âI uh-,â you hesitated on the couch.
âItâs ok with me,â Eijiro spoke but quickly added- âI mean as long as youâre comfortable with it!â
âI am, as long as you donât mind me in your room,â you answered.
âGo go go, weâll be here. Right, Kaminari?â Mina said aggressively to him. Denki giving up just nodded and rolled his eyes at Mina.
âAlright letâs go,â Eijiro waved at you to follow him, with ab apprehensive smile.
Once you both were out of earshot Mina let out a laugh. âMan, they need so much help,â she declared.
âMaybe but- you donât have to be pushing them together,â Denki complained.
âOh, get over it. They have been crushing on each other for a long time now.â She answered.
The elevator ride up to Eijiroâs room was long and filled with awkward conversation.
âCould I get in trouble for being here?â You asked nervously.
âNah I doubt it- besides Iâm just showing you how my headpiece works right? I suppose that could be useful to know in the future if weâre ever teamed up together,â Eijiro justified.
âYeah, youâre right,â you agreed nodding happily.
You both made your way to his dorm door. You briefly remembered what his dorm looked like when your class held the dorm competition- but when Eijiro opened the door it was more intense than you remembered. The bright red curtains brought a whimsical sense to the room, and the posters covering the walls illuminated the room with his personality.
âOh wow,â you exclaimed following him inside.
âI know I know- I already heard it from Hagakure. Itâs not a very appealing room,â Eijiro said sadly.
âNo! I love it!â You sang.
âWhat really?! Thanks,â he said smiling and blushing as he looked around for his hero costume. âAll right, here it is!â he said, pulling his headpiece out.
Eijiro sat on his bed, and you nervously followed his lead sitting next to him.
âItâs easy I just put it on like this-,â he said placing it on, âthen lock into place on the side.â The headpiece made a snapping sound as he locked it in.
âOh, I guess that is really easy,â you laughed nervously feeling silly for asking how it worked now. âCan I see it?â
âYeah, sure!â He answered and took off the headpiece, handing it to you.
It was heavier than you expected and cold to the touch. "Wow, this doesn't bother you?"
"Nope! Keeps me protected from getting hit in my weak spots," He answered.
"Can I try?" You asked.
Eijiro nodded and chuckled in amusement thinking it was cute you wanted to try on a part of his costume, but when you moved closer and placed your hands around his head he froze. He hadn't realized you meant you wanted to put it on for him.
Eijiro felt his breath catch in his throat as you were just inches away from him carefully placing his headpiece on.
You secured the metal piece around his face before catching sight of him staring intently at you. His gaze made your hands start to shake as you went to snap the headpiece in place. His vermillion eyes sparkled as he looked at you with a bashful smile.
The warmth of your hands on either side of him was intoxicating and he felt how could get lost there when suddenly, "Ow!" he yelped.
Your shaking hands had caused you to pinch the side of his face as you snapped the headpiece together.
"OH MY GOD, I'M SO SORRY!" you exclaimed springing up off the bed.
"It's ok!" Eijiro said, reaching his hand out to reassure you.
You wanted to believe him, but you saw a drop of blood drip down to his cheek. Â
"NO, YOU'RE BLEEDING!" You yelled, horrified with yourself. You booked it to his bathroom to find some first aid supplies. Eijiro followed behind you- blushing at you rummaging through his stuff in a panic.
"It's ok promise- but let me help you!" He offered.
"Oh man, you're right! First, I hurt you then I rummage through your stuff without asking! I'm the worst!" You proclaimed, dropping your head into your hands.
"No no! Really, it's not a big deal!' Eijiro said attempting to calm you as he brought out a band-aid.
"Here let me help you please!' You begged.
Eijiro smiled sweetly and handed you the band-aid and a cloth, then took his head headpiece off so you could inspect the injury.
Your eyes misted at the sight, "I'm so sorry- that looks like it hurt." You sniffed and dabbed at the injury gently with a cloth to clean off the blood. You moved closer to tend to him, and Eijiro once again felt lost in your close presence.
He smiled down at you, cheeks tinting as your hands grazed his cheek to place on the band-aid. "Believe me- I'm not even thinking about that right now," he said voice low and sultry.
You caught his gaze and blushed at realizing how close you had come to him in your panic. A blush dusted your own cheeks as you tilted your head and asked, "What are you thinking about then?"

A MOMENT DESIRED
â wanderer x gn!reader
SYNOPSIS: He doesnât need a heart to feel. Puppet or human. A heart or withoutâit does not matter anymore.
Kunikuzushi was designed to serve a divine purpose.
Kabukimono searched for curiosity and acceptance.
Scaramouche existed to fulfill that which he lacked.
While Wanderer was created to embrace humanity.
To walk beside them. A fresh startâwhether he had a heart or not. Because despite it all, his mother discarded him for his emotionsâsorrow and laughterâwhich proved to be a weakness, but perhaps, itâs finally time he acknowledges that craving for the impossible is a waste of time.
So he learns to live.
Rather, Nahida makes him learn, quite literally.
Instead of performing mass destruction, he stands in the House of Daena, scanning through the thousands of books they harbor. He skims through the pages, coughing once in a while from the dust that had settled on the shelves.
A once renowned Fatui Harbinger has now turned into a Vahumana Scholar.
How ridiculous, he thinks.
âI have your tea,â A familiar voice declared through the hushed voices in the room. You approach him with two drinks in hand, âI donât understand why you like bitter things.â
âThe more bitter the better,â he replies calmly, tracing the book spines, and skimming through its contents. Too immersed to engage in a conversation, but he indulges.
âMy arms are tired, hurry upâ
He pulls out a decrepit book before grabbing his tea from your hand, âYou complain too much.â
âItâs piping hot. I donât understand how you donât notice the temperature.â
He shrugs and leads both of you to a nearby table. On it, mechanical items, cloth and a sewing kit scatter around, clearly tinkered with, âWhat is this?â
âIâm making a toy,â you respond.
He raises a brow, expecting you to explain further but you donât. You take a seat across from him.
âKshahrewar scholars,â He whispered while shaking his head.
You pass him the sewing kit, âWeâre making toys.â
âWhat. Why?â
âLess questions, more doing.â
At times like this, you remind him of Nahida. Constantly ordering him around. Yet he follows like an obedient dog.
This time not out of obligation as a âprisoner,â but because he wants to.
With you, he doesnât need to give his actions reason.
Itâs a foreign concept.
But heâll learn. Heâs best at adapting.
âLet me teach you,â You say after watching him struggle to put the thread on the pin.
âIâm not made for this.â He says.
âClearly.â
Your hands brush, he doesnât understand why his face flush, or why he craves your touchâa moment too quick, a moment desired. But he observes how your concentrated face contorts into various expressionsâhow your eyes twinkle with passion, how your lips fall into a steady line, how your hands skillfully follow a rhythm as you teach him the ways of knitting.
Admiration flows through his body.
Yes. Admiration. That is the word.
You mustâve noticed his stare, because you match his gaze. Itâs too soft. Too intimate. Too close. He looks at your lips then back at your eyes.
Admiration. He reasons.
But the urge to cup your face and kisâ
No.
He coughs, âSorry.â
You continue.
In no time, he gets the hang of it. Hours go by, but it didnât feel like it. Your presence alone makes time a fickle matter.
Finally, he finishes the small doll.
Both of you admire his workâa short boy with white clothes, dark black hair, paired with a waistband and a teardrop beside its eyes.
In some way, it resembles him. A version of him derived from misery.
âYou shouldâve joined Kshahrewar. You have the talent for it,â you say truthfully.
âIâd rather not work myself to death for a penny.â
You gasp, âThat stereotype is old. Is reusing the same content natural for you Vahumana folks? Does creativity not flow through your class?â
He scoffs at your words, but finds no offense in your statement. Heâs fond of your annoyed face, how you ramble into oblivion. Something about hearing your voice makes his none-existent heart flutter.
This. Heâs not used to.
âWho is that by the way?â You point at the doll.
âA puppet.â
âA puppet? Donât they need strings?â
âNo. Itâs not tied down. Itâs free.â
â
You donât see him the next day.
But you do see another doll lying on your usual tableâone that resembles you followed by a note underneath, âThe puppet found itself a companion. I hope you donât mind.â
You certainly donât mind.
