[ofrevolvtions]

( Rocket Raccoon/Kingsley Ben-Adir, 34, demiman, they/them/he/him ) — Look who it is! If you take a look at our database, you’ll find that IN-22571 / BANDIT is a MECHANIC that works in SECTOR 7. According to the file, they’re a mutant with the power of RACCOON PHYSIOLOGY and TECHNOPATHY. That must be why they’re ADVENTUROUS and SELFISH. If you ask me, they remind me of burnt matchsticks, breaking curfew, the hum of an engine idling. They are affiliated with the MONTELL SYNDICATE

HISTORY

From birth, Bandit was on their own. It was hard enough to raise a normal child in this lifetime, let alone one with such an unexpected and unique mutation. He was abandoned by his parents early on and learned to fend for himself in any way that he could - and whatever he couldn't get for himself the proper way he stole or cheated his way into getting.

He earned his nickname early on not only for the 'mask like' raccoon features of his physiology but the fact that he was adept at stealing and slight of hand.

At some point getting thrown into the penitentiary actually started to become a relief. Sure, he has to serve his time, but at least he doesn't have to fend for himself as much.

During one such stint Bandit became acquainted with Fins, another lost soul living in the penitentiary with a mutation that was very much difficult to miss. They quickly bonded with one another and Bandit almost immediately felt a protectiveness over the big guy - perhaps the first and only other person they have come to care about in any significant manner.

QUESTIONNAIRE:

how do they feel about living in sol city? have they always lived there or did they travel from another settlement?

Bandit doesn't know any different, having lived in Sol City all his life, but he likes it alright. Having spent more than their fair share of time in the penitentiary than deserved (at least as far as they like to believe, though their name hasn't come only from their raccoon physiology but also their tenancy to have sticky fingers and be drawn to anything shiny), they don't know that Sol City likes them all that much. But that's a different story.

do they trust the council’s leadership? why or why not?

They don't have much of an opinion on the council and their leadership style. In most cases they choose to do what they wish, whether or not it contradicts the council's preferences. They've been caught breaking the rules on more than one occasion, so the council does put a bad taste in his mouth - but every place needs some sort of leader in the end, so he supposes it's a necessary evil. Probably.

if they chose their sector and profession, why did they make that choice? if they didn’t, why not? were they happy with their assignment or not?

Being put into sector 7 as a mechanic wasn't exactly their choice, but they don't mind it so much. It's a type of work they're good at and actually can sometimes even enjoy.

what’s one object that they always keep on their person?

A multi-tool pocket knife. You never know when you're gunna need it.

what is your character’s ability (or abilities)?

Raccoon physiology and technopathy

are they gen i or gen ii?

Gen II

what can your character do? what are their strengths?

Through use of technopathy, Bandit is able to more or less 'communicate' with machines, being able to perceive, receive, transmit, and interface with technological objects. He has an innate ability to manipulate all kinds of technology without having the express knowledge to know how to.

Given their small size they are also particularly adept at getting themselves out of tight quarters and predicaments.

what can’t they do? what are their weaknesses?

Due to their raccoon physiology, they are definitely vulnerable given their size and strength against a typical opponent. Not that they ever let that stop them from getting into altercations.

is there anything else you’d like to specify about them?

The THIEF's song (La Cançó del Lladre)

Manuel Cabral y Aguado Bejarano. Escena de una venta. 1855. | Eugenio Lucas Velázquez. Bandoleros. circa 1860. | Manuel Barrón y Carrillo. Emboscada a unos bandoleros en la cueva del Gato. 1869. [x]

"La Cançó del Lladre is a popular 18th century Catalan melody, from a tradition known as Canciones de Bandoleros: bandit songs. The bandoleros at that time were people who challenged the established social, political, and economic order, engaging in banditry in an era when divisions between social classes were very pronounced. They stole from the upper classes sometimes to give to the poor, and sometimes simply to protest against the system, which precluded social mobility and did not allow people to escape poverty and labour exploitation.

This song's lyrics are told in the first person by a thief who is sentenced to death after a lifetime of robbery and crime. Through each stanza he recounts his misdeeds, every robbery he committed, and despite everything, this song is in a major key. And in a way it is joyful. With the lyrics starting from the thief's childhood, it broadcasts that despite all he went through, he lived his life fully and he was happy. The chorus, which says "Adéu, clavell morenet, Adéu, estrella del dia", meaning "Goodbye, dark-coloured carnation, goodbye, star of the day", is a kind of farewell to life, and to that energy that made him feel alive."

— Paola Hermosín

The Thief's Song

(translation from lyricstranslate.com)

When I was a little boy I was boastful and presumptuous; White espadrilles on my feet And a handkerchief in my pocket.

Goodbye, golden carnation! Goodbye, day star!

And now that I am all grown up, I have chosen an evil path! I have started to rob people: (This is) my daily job.

Goodbye, golden carnation! Goodbye, day star!

I robbed a merchant Who was returning from the town fair; I stole all of his money And the sample he was carrying.

Goodbye, golden carnation! Goodbye, day star!

Once I had enough money I have kidnapped a young maiden: I have taken her with lies, Promising that I'd marry her!

Goodbye, golden carnation! Goodbye, day star!

The law has imprisoned me And it has dragged me to a dark jail. The law has imprisoned me And it shall make me pay with my life!

Goodbye, golden carnation! Goodbye, day star!

Original Catalan lyrics after the cut:

La Cançó del Lladre

Quan jo n'era petitet festejava i presumia, espardenya blanca al peu i mocador a la falsia.

Adéu, clavell morenet! Adéu, estrella del dia!

I ara, que ne sóc grandet, m'he posat a mala vida! En sóc posat, a robar: ofici de cada dia.

Adéu, clavell morenet! Adéu, estrella del dia!

Vaig trobar un traginer qui venia de la fira: li prenguí tots els diners i la mostra que duïa.

Adéu, clavell morenet! Adéu, estrella del dia!

Quan he tingut prou diners, n'hi he robat també una nina: l'he robada amb falsedat, dient que m'hi casaria!

Adéu, clavell morenet! Adéu, estrella del dia!

La justícia m'ha pres i a presó fosca em duïa. La justícia m'ha pres i em farà pagar amb la vida!

Adéu, clavell morenet! Adéu, estrella del dia!

honestly its still so funny seeing folks go "b-b-but that character is a murderer!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱" and theyre talking about fire emblem

[anarchic-miscellany]

Irony free, my favourite character introduction in recent memory is of the bandit Vasquez in "The Magnificent Seven" remake: Sitting in wait near a dark cabin, with a pair of corpses he made, he lassos the first person to come in (showing how alert he was and he'd already seen them coming) and has the upper hand, then we get that fabulous, ice cold Denzel performance where he tells him that if he carries a gun that means he intends to use it, so Vasquez doesn't shoot him, he's willing to talk to the guy. He's a bit horny and rapey towards our heroine Emma Cullen, in the lasso, but willing to talk, willing to listen, and you don't quite know if he's lying or not when he says that the Texas Ranger he shot "Had it coming". It makes you wonder if he killed these guys in the cabin, or if they too had it coming, and we get my absolute favourite exchange: Vasquez: "And after our business is done, what then?" Chisolm: "There'll still be a lot of men after you." Vasquez: "A comforting thought." Chisolm: "It is: I won't be one of them."

What a baller exchange. It's so good I paraphrased it for my own terrible screenplay.

Just a sleazy bandit with a heart of brass, who over the course of the film just is himself. I liked that he lived, it was a nice twist.

Four grown ass adults just watched like 10 Bluey episodes in a row and all forgot about the baby who was quietly playing and only paying attention when the intro song was on. Incredible.

[evocaker]

Talking about my original character Lupita, as I promised.

Lupita is an adult Hige Hige bandit, older than my character Nero, that works in direct combat and with stealing. She is not the best at fighting, is not experienced with survival knowledge and will often avoid these subjects in missions.

To compensate for her lack of skills in those areas, Lupita has a special place in her group: excellent handling of explosives, practically of all types. Her skills include the deactivation of the explosives, improvisation of bombs (not with the same potencial as a Bomber’s bomb, but still useful to keep enemies away) and also the ability to fight bombers with ease, meaning she can both attack and defend.

Lupita is transgender and practically got forced to work as a bandit because…do I have to explain why? That’s what higes were made for. Despite the obstacles in her carrier as a bandit, she still manages to enjoy her awful job.

Her personality is kinda confusing to describe. She fakes a personality when talking to unknown “people” and often acts dumb and a bit egocentric in order to make their expectations low, to use this as an advantage in possible future combat or betrayal. Lupita hates bombers for an unknown reason, and always volunteer to fight them. She is very cuddly toward whose she likes (Nero being her best friend) and often bring those some gifts when she gets the opportunity.

Lupita met Nero in a random mission, when they were younger. I will still elaborate on this part, but they have a strong relationship and almost never separate from each other.

Here are some facts about her:

- she doesn’t know much about makeup or styling, Nero helps her dress up.

- the “melons” on her chest aren’t actually breasts, those are deactivated rubber bombs, Lupita thinks that they look neat on her. Due to the bombs being soft and rubbery, and her body having the generic robot texture, the bombs stick on her chest very well.

- A thing that she fantasizes about with frequency is her managing to break a Bomber’s face (specifically the generic Bomberman face, with that tv-screen effect), no idea why she does so but it’s something she desires to do.

That’s just a little idea, I’ll probably scrap this when getting out of my Hige Hige phase :p

My New Intro for Mid 2023!

[dashcon-two]

Her Highness Has Arrived

Another very special guest.

Hi all,

We are so, SO excited to share this special guest announcement. If you’ve watched Strange Aeons’DashCon: An Extensive Oral History video—if you haven’t, how did you end up here?—then you know her already.

Introducing, Lochlan O’Neil!

Lochlan, or Nessie as she goes by online, is DashCon’s original creator. The mythical fifteen-year-old that started it all. DashCon expanded out from under her beyond her wildest dreams (and nightmares), but we are so excited to show her what our team can do in her stead.

Also referred to as ‘The Ballpit Queen’, Lochlan came up with the original idea for having a ball pit at the con after watching a YouTube video where strangers befriend one another in an outdoor ball pit. Obviously, the final product was not supposed to be Like That (sorry). Nowadays, she channels her energy into raccoon biology, studying human-raccoon interaction and the conservation of the critically endangered Cozumel raccoon.

Apparently Toronto is the racoon diabetes capital of the world?? As such, Lochlan is absolutely giddy to visit. This explains a lot about the attacks on our green bins.

You can find her @lochnessofficial on TikTok and @racoonmilf on Tumblr.

Wait - do YOU want to learn about raccoon biology?

Calling all rabiosexuals: Lochlan is hosting her very own panel at DashCon 2! Enter the trash panda extravaganza at her panel, Rabid, AND Loving! Intro to All Things Racoon. Despite their bandit-like appearance, raccoons are truly wonderful creatures, and we have so much to learn from them!

We wanted to bring a live raccoon to the facilities to participate, but there are these annoying things called “laws” we have to follow. Truly a shame.

A Note On DashProm

For the unaware, the original DashCon held a massive dance party on the first night of the con, themed around prom. We can confirm that DashCon 2 will be having a dance party! However, the theme will be very different... and you can probably guess it; we’ve given you the clues in this post :) Theme confirmation will be coming next week!

Volunteer Applications: Still Open!

Would you like to be involved with DashCon 2? Are you a local who didn’t manage to snag tickets? Do you want to keep vigil over the ball pit? Volunteering is the best way to get involved with the in-person DashCon 2 convention! You can apply now through this form, or learn more on our website!

All regular volunteers will be assigned to at least one 4-hour shift between 7 AM and 11:30 PM on July 5th, 2025. This shift includes one 15-minute break, which will be taken at the Volunteer and their Team Leader’s discretion. Volunteers must work for at least 4 hours to receive a ticket for the convention.

FAQs!

"Now, what exactly is 'The Marvelous Mechanical Harlequin' AU?"

Well I'm glad you asked! The Marvelous Mechanical Harlequin, or "Harlequin AU" for short, is a grimdark sci-fantasy story about "Puppets", whom are soul-infused robots, trying to regain their lost humanity in a broken world.

It follows Pomni, a short-tempered Combat Harlequin, as she explores the city of Circuits with the aid of Caine, The Puppetmaster.

However, as the story progresses, Pomni not only realizes that there's more to the grand scheme of things as she explores more and more, she also uncovers The Puppetmaster's story, and what secrets he may be hiding.

"How do the boss fights go down in the story?"

Action-packed, fast paced, involves a lot of dying on Pomni's part.

Even though this is inspired by a Souls-like, the boss fights go down more so like a mixture between Cuphead, Shadow of the Colossus, and God of War (2018/Raganarok). Mostly God of War.

"Are there going to be canon ships in this AU?"

Yes! The AU is very Showtime (Caine x Pomni) centric, and some of the story aspects of the AU are heavily surrounded on that. There is a bit of Jesterdoll (Pomni x Ragatha) in it, too.

Aside from these canon ships, all is fair game. The Puppets don't have ages seeing as to how they are robots (and were already adults prior to their conversion), so the possibilities are endless.

"Can I make fanarts/fanfics/make original content for your AU?"

Why, of course you can! In fact, I would REALLY love to see it, as long as it complies with my personal boundaries below. So don't be afraid to tag this blog, or @iamespecter in your posts if you want me to see it!

"What are the boundaries of the AU?"

Go wild! The AU's rating is pretty mature, if it wasn't obvious already for it's grimdark genre.

However... I would like to ask that if you would like to make something dark even for my standards for this AU (i.e non-con or dark kinks), all I ask is that you don't show it to me. I personally do not like it, and do not vibe with it.

"What are your thoughts about NSFW surrounding the AU?"

Suggestive content and NSFW is allowed! I am an adult, and I personally enjoy them. (I think I'll make a blog for the more... spicy things.)

Even I make suggestive content for this AU.

HOWEVER! Please tag it properly with "cw suggestive", "tw suggestive", "tw nsft" and various other tags for people who do not wish to see them, or are minors. I can't keep track of everything try as I might, so it'll be up to you to be a decent person, which I know you will be.

"I don't like showtime, but I find your AU interesting. Will that be a problem?"

For you, it might be. The story leans heavily around Pomni and Caine's relationship as a whole, and I'm sorry. I'm just really soft about them.

"Will this be anything like the original TADC?"

Yesss...? And no...? It takes a lot of creative liberty and inspirations from various medias.

⚠️ This masterpost is still under construction! Please excuse the technical difficulties. ⚠️

In the meantime, I hope you had a fun read nonetheless! Things will get updated overtime. - Ziku/IAmESpecter

[scielson]

can we talk about the intro quest where henry and hans are basically as good as naked, completely defenseless? henry survives that crazy fall, hits his head, is hallucinating, it’s pitch black, they are being followed by bandits who want them dead, they don’t know the area at all, and hans has to carry his wounded 'friend'. like, imagine how utterly scary that must’ve been. i mean, henry is scared, he’s reliving his trauma of what happened in skalitz. he is blabbering nonsense like "they are here" and stuff like "they’ll get us." imagine how utterly scary that must’ve been for hans because he didn’t exactly know what was going on. he basically carried henry through the woods until they spotted bozhena’s hut. worse, right as hans thought they were safe, one of the bandits found them and attacked them. yet, bro fought like hell and got that mfer.

hans really went through all that and still managed to fight off that bandit. dude had no clue what was going on, was carrying his barely conscious friend through a pitch black forest while being hunted, and still came out on top. absolute legend.

[lovelettersfromluna]

Here are a few Love Island!Ellie head canons because god…with how this season is going so far? I need it.

an: This is truly written from a place of fun! This isn’t to be taken seriously AT ALL! This is a funny little Drabble I whipped up in line twenty minutes because I thought it would be funny after my post I made a day or two ago. This isn’t for anyone and is 100% geared to a very specific audience 😭 also if any of you are watching this season of Love Island USA, can we please chat about it in the comments??? What are your thoughts???? Anyways, enjoy!! 🤍

• First of all…queer Love Island??

• I know there’s a queer Ultimatum but…the chaos of Love Island is just something I need to see with a house full of women instead

• Let’s start things off by talking about you

• Your intro is most definitely the one that catches everyone’s attention out of all the other girls. You have a personality that hasn’t exactly been seen in the seasons prior to yours and something about you just feels fresh you know?

• Your intro song is After Hours by Kehlani don’t fight me on this

• I really like how this season started with the girls arriving at night rather than in the middle of the day? Makes an easier transition I feel, so it’s the same for this too I’d say

• You aren’t the first to arrive, so you and the other girls (who you are losing your mind over they’re all so gorgeous and you’re already mentally taking note of who you want to pull for a chat later) when the last few singles arrive.

• They save the best for last of course

• Ellie’s intro 100% paints her out to be the bad girl of the season. Like come on, those tattoos? That fucking face?? The icing on the cake is that her intro song is Bandit by Don Toliver

• When she’s making her rounds of introducing herself to everyone, her eyes on yours immediately.

• Because she knew there would be hot girls in the villa, but Jesus fucking Christ???

• Now, contrary to what you might think, you and Ellie aren’t actually coupled up that night.

• Because you’re here to explore connections! And as much as Ellie literally takes your breath away with that fucking look in her eyes when she first spots you, there are other girls here that you like too.

• And you can also tell Ellie’s type from a mile away, and you’d rather steer clear of that before making any permanent reservations and making yourself look like an idiot for millions of people all over the world to see (we see what Leah is going through with Rob ��� let’s avoid that shall we?)

• Ellie though, is relentless.

• Because in her mind, she sees things completely differently.

• Why the hell would she waste her time talking to other random girls whenever you’re right here! Sleeping two or three beds across from her with some idiot instead of her.

• She’s shameless with it honestly.

• She’s always pulling you to chat with her, long fingers lingering on the supple skin of your thigh as you two are sat in the big swing or on the bean bags.

• “why didn’t you wanna couple up with me out first night?” She hums out softly, her head resting on one of the brightly colored pillows as she pulls your legs into her lap (while the girl you’re couple with and the girl she’s coupled with are literally across the villa)

• You giggle softly because she’s wasting no time in trying to get you comfy enough with her to choose her for the next re-coupling and it’s making your head spin.

• In all honesty? You didn’t choose her because you knew the moment you coupled up with Ellie, you’d be spoiled for everyone else.

• And shit hits the fan basically overnight here in the villa, so you’d rather not put all your eggs in one basket on the first fucking night (you refuse to have your family watch you be an idiot at home)

• She groans when you explain that to her, pressing her forehead to your shoulder as her teeth nip at your skin, which makes you nudge her playfully because she is getting way too close and the girl you’re coupled up with is shooting daggers with her eyes at the both of you.

• It also is not helping that Ellie is wearing the cutest black triangle bikini top with a pair of shorts and it’s just…god…her body is fucking insane.

• Later that night it’s the same, you’re upstairs doing your makeup with some of the others girls, having a bit of a recap of everything while spilling a bit of tea and gossip on what you’ve all gathered throughout the day.

• The topic of you and Ellie is top of the list on what the girls ask you about the moment you settle down in your chair to start getting ready for the night, and it makes you smile shyly as you try to find the words to say.

• Especially since the girl thats coupled up with Ellie could walk in at any moment….

• “Yeah uh…I dunno….I really like her but I feel like I need to also explore connections, you know?” You explain, your words a bit muffled as you apply your lip liner onto your lips.

• “With the way she looks at you? Exploring connections won’t be that easy” one of the girls hums out, causing the others and yourself to erupt in a fit of laughter.

• Ellie is quick to snatch you away once again when you and the other girls come downstairs to meet with their couples, barely giving the girl you’re actually coupled up with the time to give you a proper hug and kiss after you’ve all cheered to your second night there.

• I’d like to think that Ellie really values her privacy in the villa, and even though it’s damn near impossible to actually get away from all eyes and ears, she tries her best any way.

• Her hands are interlocked with yours, your heels clanking against the wood of the stairs as she pulls you up to Soul Ties (YUUUPPPP IYKYK)

• She’s staring deeply into your eyes as she brings her cup to her lips, taking a sip of her wine before she settles back against the mountain of pillows behind you, her hands toying with the frilly fabric of your dress.

• “You know I wouldn’t wanna be with anyone else in here but you…right?” She hums out softly, fingers dancing along the exposed skin of your thighs.

• And you can’t help but bite back a laugh, because this seems soooo illogical to you! Like it’s only been two days at this point?

• Ellie groans when you try to explain this to her. “Yeah but it’s different…I’m with you all the time…it isn’t like things on the outside” she pouts out, clearly annoyed with the fact that you’re still keeping walls up with her.

• It makes you sigh softly, because at this point you know you’re only holding yourself back from possibly having the strongest connection in the entire villa, but you want to play the game right! You want to explore the connections that have been placed before you without any regrets.

• But then Ellie’s eyes are going low, and you can see her leaning in closer, her legs interlocking with yours as her hand comes up to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear, and you already know what’s coming.

• Her lips are so soft, and she’s probably the best kisser you’ve ever had. It’s slow and sensual and the champagne in your system already has you buzzing a bit, a soft moan leaving your mouth as your hands go down to tug on her shirt slightly, her tongue working against yours.

• it’s easy in that moment to forget that you and her aren’t mic-ed up and there aren’t about a hundred different hidden cameras pointing at the both of you catching every angle of your face, because it just feels that good.

• But you’re quick to break the kiss once you remember that everything is being recorded, and you’re still in a fucking couple

• And even though you’re honest with the girl you’ve coupled up with about the kiss, and you explain to her that you’re still opened to getting to know her, in true Love Island fashion, your time with Ellie doesn’t stop.

• It goes on that way until the next re-coupling, and obviously your choice is saved for last because the anticipation of it all has been growing and your storyline seems to be the one that the viewers at home have been the most eager to watch.

• Of course, you choose Ellie.

• Not only because you feel the best when you’re with her, but also because leading people on just feels icky, and you don’t want anyone to perceive you as that sort of person.

• Ellie is over the moon of course, her hands wrapping around your waist and pulling you in close the second she’s sat next to you around the fire pit.

• And even though you’re sharing a room with like twelve other people, you get the best sleep you’d gotten in months when you’re sleeping next to Ellie.

• not before a kiss or two is shared before you sleep though 😌

• And that’s how things go for a while! You and Ellie are viewed as the most solid couple for quite some time, the camera always catching you and her lounged out by the pool talking about your families, or her bringing you breakfast in the morning when you’re getting ready with the others girls.

• “Yeah…my dad would love you. I bet you he knew I’d go for you the second he saw you” she hums out as you two are cuddled up on the swing, which makes you giggle softly. (Joel 100% struggles watching his daughter make out with someone else’s daughter every night but he does see how much Ellie likes you)

• Ellie frowns deeply as her eyes scan the fridge and the pantry of the out door kitchen as she’s outside with some of the other girls. “All they have are fuckin’ avocados and eggs?” She huffs out in annoyance before she settles on whipping you up some avocado toast and filling up your water bottle.

• She’s awkward when she brings it up, shy smile on her face as she peeks into the makeup room, eyes scanning the space for you. Her expression instantly brightens when she spots you pulling your hair up into a pony tail, making her way to you to press a kiss to your head before setting your breakfast down in front of you.

• “Didn’t know if you were hungry…so…yeah…” she mumbles out softly, which makes you giggle softly before thanking her and pressing a kiss to her cheek.

• The viewers at home and your fellow islanders quickly mark you and Ellie as the “married couple” of the villa.

• HOWEVER

• What’s Love Island without a couple of bombshells?

• You can’t stay too comfortable in a place like Love Island, especially when you hear that familiar ping coming from someone’s phone.

• It’s yours, and it happens when you’re out by the pool with a few other girls, trying your best to give advice with the relationship issues that they’re having.

• “I’ve been keeping an eye on you from the outside…but now it’s my turn. Meet me out by the beach for a surprise. And wear something pretty…..

Xoxo Abby”

• The girls you’re sitting with erupt in squeals and giggles, grabbing you and shaking you as you sit there in awe, your mouth hanging open as you stare down at the phone, reading the message over and over again.

• Ellie is on the other side of the villa looking as if she’s ready to kill someone, because who the fuck is Abby?

• You obviously have no choice but to go, and while you’re upstairs getting dressed with the other girls you feel a bit excited? Nervous? It was your first time outside of the villa in almost two weeks and it was for a date with a fucking bombshell??

• Once you’re finished getting dressed, you make your way downstairs to talk to Ellie, because you know you have to.

• Wrapping your arms around her waist and pulling her close makes you feel bad, because it’s easy to forget that the producers are obviously trying to test your relationship with Ellie and see which one of you will break first.

• But that doesn’t make it feel any better.

• “I’ll miss you…I’m sure it’ll be fine…she probably just wants to shake things up here” you assure Ellie with a soft kiss to her cheek.

• She frowns softly as she nods, pulling you close to her chest before she sighs, her feelings clearly in shambles as she stares into your eyes.

• “Yeah…have fun…” she mumbles out softly before she presses a soft kiss to your lips, letting it linger for a moment before letting you go.

• You desperately hope that this girl is a raging asshole who you’ll hate the moment you see her.

• But would she even be a bombshell if she wasn’t perfect?

• Abby looks like a fucking goddess sitting on the beach waiting for you. You aren’t sure you’ve ever seen muscles like hers before, and something in you wants her to show you if they’re just for show or not.

• WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU ARE SPOKEN FOR

• Abby hits all the marks. She makes you feel comfortable, she makes you laugh, and she manages to make your cheeks and ears warm up every time she sends another flirty compliment your way.

• “So…I see you’ve been coupled up with Ellie…how’s that been?” She asks you gently, the gentle ocean breeze blowing through her pretty blond hair, making your head fucking spin.

• You’re honest with her. You tell her that you and Ellie have been very solid since the moment you’ve coupled up. You explain to her that you didn’t choose her in the beginning for the sole purpose of knowing just how attached you’d get to her when you were actually coupled up with her.

• “Yeah um…I think I’m falling for her actually” you mumble out shyly as you stare down into the bottom of your glass, watching as the bubbles of the champagne rise to the surface only to fizzle out shortly after.

• Abby hums softly as she nods at your words, taking a sip of her drink before she speaks. “She seems cool…but it’s early days, yeah? Still exploring a bit?” Abby asks hopefully.

•When you look up and lock eyes with her, you feel the air leave your lungs, because god she is so fucking pretty. Her pink lips are tugged between her teeth, and it makes you have to swallow back a whimper.

• And like an idiot that is charmed by the beauty of this actual goddess, you fucking nod.

• She chuckles softly before she nods with you. “That’s good to hear baby…” she hums softly before she leans in and kisses you.

• Would she be a bombshell if she didn’t kiss you on the first date???

• Back at the villa, Ellie is losing her shit.

• Because everyone is asking her if she thinks you’ll fold, and if she thinks this is a test to your relationship that you’ll pass, and it’s making her want to fucking throw up.

• And now she’s starting to feel the heat of this fucking show, because none of this would’ve been a problem if she had met you on the outside.

• She’s in the middle of pacing when you and Abby come back to the villa later that night, the sound of the group of friends you’d made squealing once they spot you and Abby coming in through the balcony.

• Hand in hand.

• That’s right, Abby brings you back into the villa, with her fingers interlocked with yours.

• Ellie wants to throw herself into the fucking ocean at that point.

• Her confessionals are filled with her groaning and bitching about how she could never compete with Abby, and how her muscles are probably fake anyways, anything to discredit the girls goddess fucking physique.

• you obviously pull Ellie for a chat once the others pull Abby to get to know her, because even though she chose you for the date, the others want to get to know her the moment they see her.

• But even as you talk to Ellie and try to console her feelings, it really all boils down to you and which one you feel the most connected to.

• So? Who would you choose?
