#that means it actually does not matter even a little bit which you choose

[jorenilee]

Was thinking about that anon's ask and how a scenario 2 could happen (bc I like thinking about convoluted scenarios like they’re in an actual game) and the best thing I can think of (if it were ti be done, of course) is like, a Lanino Elnina kind of situation?

Like, the one whose attacks you preffer will get with Roulx. On a game perspective, it'd be kinda like a hint of how things can go down. Like the chapter is setting the rules (haha get it, bc Roulxs is pronounced like rules? Anyway-)

Maybe each of them have different minigames (so you can choose 3 to be really good at/get S rank minimum) and depending on whose you choose more frequently, since the trio will interact far more with said character, it will define who will get cleaved.

But like.... Switched?

Okay, I'll use an example bc I think I made it confusing:

So, let's say the player prefers Spamton's minigames for whatever reason. That will make the trio spend alot more time with him- having more dialogue, getting more clues, etc. He hears how Susie thinks the whole "darkners are meant to serve lightners" thing is bs. Maybe even clues in that Ralsei knows something about the prophecy, whatever. What matters is that, whatever it was, it made Spamton just a bit less paranoid.

Because, hey, the lightners seem pretty chill. Does he trust them? Hell no. He definitely doesn't reveal all (heck, not even MOST) of his cards, but knowing that these 3 are willing to help them out makes him a bit less scared. A bit calmer

....Which makes him careless and gets Tenna cleaved.

If you recruited enough TV citizens, Tenna survives. If not, the tv is dead.

And Tenna: well, he adores being the center of attention! He's missed the spotlight, the lightners looking at him. Maybe he's not **AS** desperate as in canon, bc he's not COMPLETELY alone, but that doesn't mean his longing for the spotlight is gone.

Maybe Tenna gets so happy that he's getting this much attention from the lightners that it's far easier to make him want to close the fountain. He doesn't need the Knight anymore, right? The lightners already love him, after all!!

Spamton is a paranoid rat- so this sudden switch in gears would definitely get his attention. Makes him more vigilant.

Since he's been basically been doing the anxiety equivalent of a warm-up, when he sees that Tenna is gonna be attacked, he's ready for it.

He pushes Tenna out of the way and gets cleaved.

If you have enough recruits from Cyber City, he survives.

**

Something else I've been thinking is that your choices in minigames will decide whose battle you'll get?

So, for example, if you played more with Spamton, you'd find Tenna.

Which would contribute to Spamton being less paranoid/careful, because hey, Kris has a blade and the fight turned out fine! Crisis averted yippee!!

Also, I think that if you have little/no recruits from either world (like in the weird route), regardless of who gets cleaved, it will be implied that the other either died looking for them/trying to get them help or disappeared.

Dunno if that makes sense lmao

Oh I basically have nothing to add because this is peak. This is?? Probably the best best way to do that. I guess the only "problem" is that it would get you more attached to the character that evidently Doesn't die at the end of the chapter, but there's the rest of the chapter outside of the minigames to do that.

And I also like that we could go even harder on the ch3 divorces by the choices of minigames even driving a wedge between spamton and tenna (since they would both be egotistical over whose game is preferred)

Also also it fits nicely into deltarune's narrative about choices mattering. Maybe the prophecy can't be circumvented yet, and no matter what, a lord of screens will be cleaved. But your choices determine who, and your choices determine their happiness afterwards.

[desire-demon-wish]

And while we’re talking about it: that’s the stupidest decision I’ve ever been forced to make. Are you actually joking? Minrathous couldn’t stop a blighted dragon?? We didn’t even do anything special in Treviso! It’s not like the dagger played any role in it! Nor did any other special abilities! All I did was hit it! There was literally no reason for the other one to be the death of Minrathous!!!!!!!! This is so dumb!!!!

[cupcakeinat0r]

Still thinking of Dadbod!Miguel to this day…

“I wonder what she’s up to right now. I hope she’s having fun.”

Your voice rings against the tiles of a shared bathroom, the lights of the grand mirror bleeding into the dark bedroom adjacent to it. The only other light illuminating the space was the tv, which was for nothing because no one was watching; it was merely background noise.

“Probably running and yapping circles around them, keeping everyone up, as per usual.” You hear the rich timbre of your boyfriend from the bed. You lean back from the sink to search his expression, a knowing smile accompanied by a raised brow, framed by bifocals hanging low on his nose. Everything about your partner exuded strength, except in his vision. Poor thing could never quite make out the words of his books without them.

You and Miguel knew how energetic Gabby was. It explained her unbelievably crazy stamina showcased in her soccer games, scoring goals for her team. And as if it wasn’t uncontainable enough, Miguel insisted on always getting her ice cream afterwards, failing to turn down her precious little pleads for a sweet treat. Even though you’d give him the look, you could never deny her either. You were both push overs.

“Sounds like someone I know.” You mirror his expression, the tease in your tone registered by him.

“Hey, I’ll gladly admit to being the reason for keeping you up at night.” The gravel of his words and his dashing smile makes you retreat back to the mirror. You apply the last step of your nightly routine while smiling like an idiot. You could always play cheeky with Mig, but nine times out of ten, he’d match your energy or double it, so inevitably, you’d always lose that contest. But you didn’t mind it. You loved that Miguel was always turned on, even by the smallest of things. He was always hungry for you.

Taking your bashful giggle as a sign of his victory, he returns to his book, one that looks too small for his hands.

He speaks whilst eyes are glued to the page, “But I’m sure she’s having fun, mamita. She’s always adored her cousins. And her uncle, for that matter.”

“Gabriel is pretty good with her.” You say with a smile as you leave the bathroom.

“Yeah, maybe too good. Starting to think you and him are the favorite.” He sets the book and his glasses onto the nightstand to draw his attention all on you: the most gorgeous thing he’s ever seen, even bare faced and in pjs.

With curled lips and folded arms, you look down at him. Like a child waiting for his teddy bear, his arms spread out for you to fall into, like he does every night when he waits for you to finally come out the bathroom.

“Babyyy, not true,” you can’t help but look all over your man, the bed frame only just fitting him; The figure of a man who maybe lets his daughter choose dessert over sliced fruit too much, but that’s more than okay. More to cling onto at night.

You climb into bed, the sheets feeling nice and warm, but nothing compared to the beautiful blend of cushion and hardness your boyfriend has somehow mastered.

“Mamita… Gabby is crazy about you. She wouldn’t stop asking for you after the first time you went to her game with me.”

“I know Gabby loves me, but it doesn’t mean she loves you any less.”

“Oh, I know, I know…” you both shuffle in bed as you find a comfortable position for the night, tangled bodies exchanging equal parts of coolness and warmth. Miguel flinches and lets out a small ‘ay’ when your frozen-solid feet touch his legs, to which you softly apologize immediately, adding a kiss.

“But she really is in love with you. She’s actually, uh…”

He looks down at the minuscule space between you two, looking to finish his sentence,

“… been wanting to call you ‘mom’ for a bit now.”

You smile widely at the admission, “wait what?!” Your quiet disbelief makes Miguel smile, too.

“Yeah,” his voice softens. “She’s just been nervous to say so, but she’s told me.” His fingers trace shapes on your outer thigh, his gentle gaze spilling with adoration.

He lets out a short huff, “What can I say, it’s hard not to fall completely head over heels with you. I don’t blame her.” As if you couldn’t get any closer to him, he presses you against him even more. The air of his words hits your nose and lips slightly, the lowness and slight sleepiness in his voice stirring your core.

You don’t know what to say other than, “I just love you so much, Mig.” You shake your head faintly side to side. A million stars shine in your eyes, your smile ear to ear in this moment. “And to think I got you and Gabriella as a package deal. I literally won the lottery. Seeing how you are with Gabby? That’s what got me sold.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“…So it wasn’t the five star restaurants or the gifts or the trips-?” You fall into a fit of soft laughter with him.

“Baby, please, you know that wasn’t it!” You kick him under the sheets. For the entirety of your relationship, you always reminded him that the material things never mattered. You were huge on making sure he never felt taken advantage of, even though he took great pleasure in taking care of you.

“Nah, beba, I’m just messing with you. I know you’re not like that, c’mon now.” His hand messages your shoulder.

“But seriously… you’re such a good dad. I hope you know how good you’ve done with Gabby, even by yourself.”

“I try. Thank you, mama.” He humbly whispers before planting a hard kiss to your forehead, inhaling your scent.

“And thank you for treating her like your own. You treat her so good. Watching you two… I dunno, it’s like my fuel. So thank you for accepting her. And for accepting me.” Your foreheads touch now.

“I know talking to someone whose got kids isn’t always ideal-“

“What?” You scoff.

“Are you kidding? The second you told me you had Gabby, I wanted to give you another one.”

And the look Miguel gives you is all too familiar.

“Oh yeah?” His eyes look you up and down. He mumbles, “You never told me that.”

“Well, it’s true, I did… I thought it was so sweet the way you spoke about her that first dinner. And when I came over for the first time? Seeing you with her?” Your eyes widened,

“Jesus, I’m surprised I didn’t let you stay the night and-“

“And what?” Miguel cuts you off, his own breath growing short.

“Nooo, I shouldn’t say.” I feign a shameful look, your eyes darting away and failing to stifle a smile.

“Nonono,” Miguel gets on top of you, forcing you to look up at him, “Don’t stop talking now.” He starts to laugh when you do, the both of you breaking out once again that night.

“Alright, you wanna know the first thing I thought after that dinner? Our five-hour-long dinner?”

You furrow your brows, “Oh God, what?”

“I thought…” he lowers himself down, racking through and locking his fingers into your hair, cradling your head, “that she’s the one.”

Your bottom lip pouts at the declaration. “Aw baby, really?”

“Yeah…” he pauses for a moment, a guilty expression painted on his face,

“and that I also wanted to stay over and do unspeakable things to you.”

Your head falls back into the pillow and you let out a shocked laugh, cupping your mouth.

“Don’t laugh, it had been a while for me. I was deprived.” He tries his best to stay serious, but your contagious laughter is impossible to not gush over.

“Well,” you catch my breath, “not anymore.” You bite your lip, “We live under one roof now. One bed.” Your hands trail up and down his hairy chest.

He grunts, his face falling to the crook of your neck, “Gracias a dios.” He softly murmurs into your skin, “‘cuz I dunno how much longer I could’ve taken having to say bye to you at the end of every night.”

“Me either,” your sigh out.

“Baby…” you continue,

“Yes, mamita?” Your neck muffles his words.

“Guess what?”

“Hm?”

“Gabby isn’t home.” You remind him in a whisper.

Miguel lifts his head, your words clocking into his mind.

Oh, right…

“Then what the hell are we doing? C’mere.”

He sits up on the bed, placing your legs on other side of his waist. with the most wolfish smirk you’ve ever seen, marking the beginning of a very,

Very,

Very long night.

[vorestarr]

i love when Astarion is mean, and i mean like genuinely mean, saying shitty things and lashing out specifically to hurt someone or push them away. i think it really says so much about him and about the specific situations when he feels the need to lash out. i love seeing it with Durge/Tav, but i'm playing a Karlach origin to romance him right now and he's so mean during his first romance scene when he can't even kiss Karlach.

after playing it, i went to look at the parsed dialogue for that scene because i wanted to see if there were any dev notes, and oh boy are there dev notes. walk with me here while i go through them all. (i didn't add alt text to the images below, but i did transcribe the lines i'm referencing in the images below, so all the important information is in the text of the post itself.)

it's the typical Astarion scene, but after his "i've been waiting to taste you" line, he diverges with: "Although your condition means tasting you could be a risky proposition. You're quite the forbidden fruit, aren't you?"

the player (as Karlach) has a few choices in reply at that point, but as long as they pick one that progresses the scene (i.e., not the one where you reject him last minute), he goes down the same dialogue tree. this tree starts with:

Astarion: All denied to us because of what Zariel did to you. [devnote: subtext, thinking about Cazador]

so right off the bat he's upset because Karlach's situation is reminding him of his own with Cazador.

but then his next line is:

Astarion: I - you know, I have no idea what to do with you now. [devnote: Astarion's mask as the flippant libertine is cracking a bit here. He's frustrated but vulnerable here. Because he can't physically seduce or touch Karlach, his usual means of interacting with a person is punctured. He's faced with the reality that he might not know how to handle a situation where he can't bite or seduce his way to the finish line.]

wow. that's a lot in that dev note.

at this point, the player has the option of a few responses, but two options to continue the encounter. the choices to continue it are: "You don't have to 'do' anything. We can just be." or "After the life you've led, I'm not surprised."

if you choose the first option, Astarion is frustrated but less mean. he says:

Astarion: 'Just be' what, exactly? Frustrated? Bored? What do we do, if not... that?

if you choose the second option, he's a little meaner. understandably so, since the player just poked at his painful past:

Astarion: You think you know the life I've led? The experiences I've had? You've no idea the stories I could tell, sweet Karlach. But you - you're just -

then, both the paths converge to the same final statement, which is mean no matter what Karlach has said to this point:

Astarion: Urgh! Why is this so difficult? I'd have already bedded you twice if you were normal.

importantly, there are dev notes for all of his lines here, but the notes are all the same:

devnote: Masking defensiveness with offensiveness. In truth he really does want what Karlach is offering (to just hang out without having sex) but now that it's within grasp he's floundering.

again, at this point the player has two choices to continue the encounter, and one to end it. i'll go down each continue path separately, since they can diverge quite a bit.

path 1

the first choice is to say: "Twice in this short space of time? Doesn't sound very satisfying."

he gets mad. and mean.

Astarion: Karlach! You know what I mean. [devnote: Frustrated] Astarion: Or maybe you don't. Astarion: There may be an inferno in you, Karlach, but at the end of the day you've been frigid for a decade, isn't that right? [devnote: Being mean-spirited in an attempt to drive Karlach away, even though he doesn't actually want to do that.]

the player again has two response options to continue the encounter, and one to end it.

the first choice to continue the encounter is: "You want to try that again? Without being a jackass, maybe?"

in response he says:

Astarion: This is impossible - you're impossible! [devnote: Masking defensiveness with offensiveness. In truth he really does want what Karlach is offering (to just hang out without having sex) but now that it's within grasp he's floundering.]

(at this point, the path diverts to merge with the dialogue tree from the previous branch where Astarion complains about Karlach not being normal. so we'll pause here, and continue down that dialogue tree with the path 2 header below.)

the second choice to continue the encounter after Astarion says that Karlach has been frigid for a decade is to say: "What's really going on here, Astarion? Suddenly you're so vicious."

he replies:

Astarion: Suddenly? Darling, you haven't been paying attention. [devnote: Seething and mean.] Astarion: Listen, it's just - ... I'm sorry, all right? Is that what you want?

again, at this point, he diverts to the same shared dialogue tree as the other response option. that merges with path 2, so we'll continue there:

path 2

to go BACK to the previous branch we went down, where Astarion said he would have bedded Karlach twice already if she was just normal, the other response option for the player is: "I am normal. 'Fucked up' is the height of normalcy."

instead of being mean, Astarion immediately apologizes:

Astarion: Oh no - don't you tar me with your 'normal' brush. My demons keep me extraordinary. [devnote: Karlach has punctured Astarion's bad mood with a joke.]

and then he apologizes, like he does in the other paths, saying he doesn't know what to do without being able to touch her.

Astarion: I - ...I'm sorry, Karlach. It's just, not being able to touch you - having to slow down, it's... I'm just not used to it. [devnote: subtext here is on the slowing down. That IS what he wants. But it's hard for him to see that clearly.]

Astarion: So, can you -... I don't know. Help? Show me what to do? [devnote: First breakthrough. He's asking for help knowing what to do when you can't jump into bed with someone.]

again, at this point, the player has two options to continue the encounter or one to end it.

for the first response to continue, the player can say: "We can just talk. As long as we want. Then we can sleep. Near, but not too near."

Astarion responds to this one pretty positively. he's still a little mean, but it's in his fond teasing way, and not his biting, cruel way:

Astarion: Karlach, champion of the Hells, wants to talk and then fall asleep? [devnote: Incredulous] My dear, you're much more boring than I gave you credit for. [devnote: Teasing] All right, Karlach. Let's try it your way. [devnote: Gently. He's feeling vulnerable, but sees that this might be a chance to feel safe.]

the second response option from the player is: "I don't know either. This is all just as new for me as it is for you."

he doesn't respond quite as well to this one, and goes back to being mean:

Astarion: Well. To quote you: 'Fuck.' Astarion: Why don't we put ourselves out of this misery and just sleep? If I can at least look at you, I won't have wasted my whole evening. [devnote: Peak of Astarion sexy toxicity.]

then, the scene fades to black and it transitions to the morning-after scene with Astarion, where the player first sees his scars.

i also think as a whole, this scene is just so representative of Astarion's early-game state of mind. he's following a comfortable script with all his interactions, but when he's confronted with something new, he flounders.

especially when it comes to sex, which is a touchy subject for him, his first reaction to any vulnerability is to lash out and hurt people. in this scene:

if Karlach brings up his past experiences, he lashes out. ("You think you know the life I've led?")

he blames Karlach for the situation because that's easier than addressing that he doesn't know what to do without his script. ("if you were normal")

if Karlach jokes about him ("Doesn't sound very satisfying") he lashes out even further, calling her frigid and impossible and then even doubling down if she calls him out ("you haven't been paying attention").

but if Karlach jokes about HERSELF ("'Fucked up' is the height of normalcy"), it snaps him out of his toxic bullshit and he's able to take a step back and apologize to her.

then regardless, he's also able to recognize that this is an opportunity to get what he wants without having sex, and recognize that he wants that too.

and then to me, Astarion being mean in that last response choice ("I don't know either") makes perfect sense, given the context of his other lashing out earlier in the conversation. even if the player didn't make those previous choices where he lashed out at them, he can still get mean and toxic on this choice.

crucially, with this choice, he's taken that step of hopeful vulnerability where he recognizes that maybe he does want to just spend time with Karlach without having sex, but he doesn't know how to do it. he asks for help.

if the player says they don't know how to do that either, he immediately puts those defensive walls back up. he doesn't want to flounder around, he wants an answer. he wants to know that it's actually possible to have a positive experience with someone without the script he's always used. the player saying they don't have that answer just pisses him off.

wow okay this post got really long, but i really vibed with the dev notes for this scene, and i think you can see exactly these toxic behaviors from Astarion in other scenes and in romances with other characters as well, but it's just so so clear with the Karlach scene and the dev notes just really highlight that.

[aninipanin1]

Bachira may not like Lavinho trying to get with their manager, but which of the Blue Lock boys might actually try to get their manager with their coach? Do they support their coach or is it more like, “I don’t exactly like that our coach like our manager, but I would rather it be our coach than a different one.” And of course Anri is trying to get manager-chan with Ego, so his mood is better lol

I will just make a list of a few of them about this instead of a scenario if that's fine!

IS SUPPORTIVE/THE WINGMEN FOR THEIR MASTER COACHES:

ISAGI - Gets a little too competitive about this. Since he is a huge Noel Noa glazer, he is, of course, supportive of him and wants him to win your heart. Would ask for you to come to their stratum for advice just so that you and Noa can interact with each other. He may have been pissed with what he found out in the PXG match about Noa's intentions, but he knows that his master is trusted when it comes to other matters, so he is more than okay if you two do end up together. Lowkey, just want to make you happy, and if it means having a boyfriend who would cherish and love you. Sweet boy thinks that growing old alone is so sad and he doesn't want that to happen to you, so he is all in.

OLIVER - Listen. He loves the drama. He likes seeing Snuffy inwardly pissed off when he sees any of the master's come to you in the days of the matches or in the live cameras. Will spur Snuffy too to make him as jealous as possible by recounting to him moments between you and said other master's. Did Lavinho compliment you that day? Whispers to Snuffy about it. Did Noel Noa call for you in his office and you were there for quite a bit? Head straight for Snuffy. Thinks he is slick with women so he tries to give him advice. He also doesn't mind his coach possibly being with you since he is one if not the most responsible and emotionally available man of the four, so he wants his coach to win.

OTOYA - Loves the drama pt. 2. He is fine with Lavinho being with you, mainly because he can see how down bad his coach is and he feels a bit of pity. Thinks he is slick with women so he tries to give him advice pt. 2 (even though Lavinho doesnt really need it). He is also a gossiper when it comes to this, talking with Chigiri and Oliver for the newest gossip about the so-called reverse harem.

SPECIAL MENTIONS:

• ANRI (ships you and Ego)

• LOKI (because he just wants you to pick one of either the coaches or the World 5 because all of them always contact him for any news about you, because you treat him like you treat the Blue Lockers, and he is so damn tired.)

• KARASU (finds it all amusing)

DON'T REALLY CARE/DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF THE SITUATION:

BAROU - He legit couldn't care less. Your and his coach's love life is personal so why would he intrude? Well, as long as Snuffy or any of the masters don't make you cry, he's fine. He has sisters, so he's definitely protective of women as a whole, it doesn't help at all that he views you as some sort of elder sister he made in the facility, and so I bet you, he'd be the first one to beat up any of the masters, especially the one you may choose, if they ever break your heart.

CHIGIRI - Same as Barou, although he's a little bit more on the gossipy side. Listen, he's one of Blue Lock's gossip girl, convince me not. He does it with sass too. Prone to sassing Prince when it comes to him talking about you. It's nothing harmful just a bit of spazz like: "I don't think Y/n-san likes men that are this or that," whenever Chris Prince is doing or saying something questionable which will, of course, stop the master striker from doing anything. But, overall, he doesn't really care, finds it amusing, yes, but he doesn't go out of his way to spite or support any of the coaches, he's just the 3rd party watcher and listener.

NAGI - When does this boy ever care about anything? Like legit. But, of course, he does care for you one way or another, so he tries to be there for you when you are a little confused as to why the coaches were starting to act weirder and weirder around you. But, he gives like...bad advices. Like really bad, which fits his personality. He tries, okay? He's just not emotionally gifted, so forgive this cutie patootie. He's also very oblivious, like you are. I mean, you two probably share the same braincell when it comes to the matters of the heart. But, if he does find out the real reason, then he still won't care. Your life is your life anyways.

KURONA AND YUKIMIYA - They mostly just watch and react, yet theg don't actively seek information/gossip about you and the masters. Sure, they feel quite amused at what they see or even hear, but they don't have any deep care about this. Doesn't mean they don't care about you, but they just believe your life is your life and you can do whatever you want, especially since you're an adult already, and a trusted one at that. But, they won't reject any gossips they may hear or shared to them, nope.

SPECIAL MENTIONS:

• Most of Bastard Munchen and PXG (GAGAMARU, KIYORA, RAICHI, KAISER, NESS etc...)

AGAINST IT/THE PROTECTIVE BROTHERS LMAO:

BACHIRA - Numero uno hater of Lavinho along with the other masters and even the World 5. Nope. He heard SOOO many celebrity gossips about how men who have fame are infamous for being quite the playboy, even heard some said gossips on the coaches and the world 5 themselves. He read it all, Adam Blake and his ever-changing girlfriend every 2 weeks? Nope. That old ass article about Marc Snuffy's previous life in his prime? Skip, once a playboy always a playboy. Lavinho, who he sees everyday and see how he is quite the lady's man? HELL NO! He'll only hurt your feelings. Bachira is a mama's boy, so he's quite protective over women as a whole, but especially those he consider important to him. And you were the maternal figure that stepped in for all of them ever since Blue Lock started and he doesn't have his mom, so of course, he cares for you and doesn't want you to get hurt.

RIN - Listen, his master is innocent and not involved, yes. But does that lessen his dislike of those lukewarm men who hits on you when they are literally around? Hell no. Whenever a match is between the other team and you watched personally (you always do), they get too close and touchy-feely with you and he hates it. Who the hell wants to die? See, even if he tries to make it out that he hates his brother fully and unconditionally, deep down, in the roots of that hatred is a broken-hearted Rin, who felt so betrayed about Sae changing and misses having an older brother to be with. But, you somehow started to heal that hole, being the elder sibling that he needed in this insanity of a facility. So, you bet he's ready to ward off those men who don't deserve you.

REO - He hates it. He has been around famous celebrities and rich businessmen all his life. He knows how they can really be behind closed doors when it came to their romantic relationships. Short to say, it's not good. And he doesn't want anything to happen to you. Always gets in the way of the coaches, especially Prince when he tries to talk to you. He's quite brainy and slick with it too, using his smarts to give the most believable excuses for you to leave the conversation with any of the men, and he would be giving thay mischievous smirk everytime it works. Due to this, the coaches hate this chameleon menace. How is he so good at lying and hiding his true intentions? He's truly a damn chameleon.

HIORI - He's not as pronounced about his dislike like the others. But if he was asked, then he would immediately say no. He trusts you, wishes you were his guardian except of his own parents because he can see that you love and care for him, not just because of what he can do. He doesn't trust others easily now due to this, and well, that applies to those men who are after you. He doesn't want the only person he has such a deep connection with to be heartbroken and betrayed, just like how he found out he was just being used by his parents. He knows youre the adult here and that you can handle yourself, but even if youre the adult and he's the minor, he is still so scared for you and doesn't want you hurt just because of a stupid man:(

SPECIAL MENTIONS:

• SHIDOU (he vibes with you so well and he actually listens to you, so he becomes a bit weird and violent when it comes to you)

• CHARLES (he likes you alot. And he likes you even more since Shidou does! This little imp is not afraid of biting ankles if you need it!)

• NIKO (tries to gaslight himself that the coaches don't like you, but he fails. At the surface he acts nonchalant, but deep down, he doesn't like it, thinks all the masters and world 5 are huge icks.)

“what the fuck do you two think youre doing?”

shit, you think, you didnt notice the balcony door had been slid open until you heard the voice of one of your brothers. you start to pull away from suna’s lips which earns you a small whine from his end, his grip tightens around you and honestly its quite cute the way he is trying so hard to savour the moment. “come back later, we’re kinda busy.” the boy mutters before trying to move your face away from the distraction so that he can kiss you once more.

“suna you get your hands off of her right now, i dont give a fuck that its your birthday.” osamu pipes up, he looks furious and a little bit disgusted, if it hadnt been for the situation youre in right now you would think its kind of funny.

“samu lay off him, it was a mutual agreement, im just as guilty as he is ok?” that does not seem to help the boys understand, if anything they seem even more angry with you both.

“what the fuck do you mean it was a mutual agreement? are you two hooking up or something? yn he just turned 18 a few hours ago are you forgetting that?” atsumu says, he is rambling on with every excuse he can think of as to why this is “so wrong”, from the corner of your eye you can see suna trying so very hard to hide the grin that is creeping its way onto his face, his hands still all over you despite the fact that you arent alone anymore.

“listen, it was his birthday wish ok? i swear it didn’t mean anything,” sunas grip begins to loosen ever so slightly, “i just though it would get him off my back and get him over his little crush on me.” suna’s facial expression shifts but you choose to ignore it, you have bigger problems to deal with at the moment.

“no this is not ok, how would you feel if me or samu kissed one of your friends because it was their birthday wish?”

“that’s different, why would my friends want to kiss either of you?”

“excuse me? ill have you know that many women want to kiss me! and dont think youre getting off the hook either suna, ill make sure you never-“ you dont even want to hear the threat that is about to come out of his mouth, you just want to get out of this shitty situation.

“boys please, just give us five minutes to talk and then we will be back inside ok? i promise.” your efforts to plead with your brothers finally work.

“…fine,” atsumu mumbles, “but this better be a one time thing. im not gonna deal with you two being all lovey dovey around me.” and with that he lightly tugs on osamu’s sleeve, signalling him to walk back inside and continue the party. he closes the balcony door but not before bringing two fingers up to his eyes and then pointing them at the two of you. its a warning.

you turn back to suna and notice the sad look on his face - he looks kinda cute like this, “so, what do-“.

“did you really mean what you just said to them?” the poor boy looks heartbroken, after waiting three years to finally have a chance with the girl he loves wants the moment is ruined like that? “did you actually just do that so i would leave you alone?” his hands fully leave your body now and he takes a step back to put some distance between you two.

“well i mean sort of yeah… ive never looked at you in any way other than my brothers best friend if im going to be honest, i dont know if thats because of the age difference or what but ive never thought we could be anything.” the look of hurt is prominent on his face no matter how hard he tries to hide it, normally playful banter would have been thrown back and forth between the two of you but rintarou just stays silent, an indication that youve fucked up.

“listen suna i dont know what you want me to say, i wasnt really thinking when i said that to atsumu it just came out. i am 4 years older than you and many people would not approve of us if i decided to give you a chance.”

“who cares? i could treat you so right if you would just let me. i have waited entirely too long for this moment, all im asking for is one date.”

“you said that about the kiss too, one thing is never enough with you is it? you always need more.” a playful smile creeps onto your face which is outshined by the one on sunas, he knows that your smile means that you agree to go on a date with him.

“i really hope you arent fucking with me right now, that would be so cruel, especially on my birthday.”

“oh give the birthday excuse a rest now will you? you dont need to keep on at me you have already got what you want.”

“mhm i absolutely have,” he walks closer and once again wraps his arms around you, placing a hand under your jawbone to make you look up at him, “and i couldnt be happier.” he states as he pulls you in for a passionate kiss once more <3

Hi this is a positivity post regarding alterhuman diet dysphoria versus actual biology

(unless you already know these things)

To herbivore nonhumans who don't want to/can't do a vegan or vegetarian diet but feel dysphoric about being able to digest meat:

Herbivorous animals are not unable to digest meat.

Animal matter is actually easier for a body to process than plant matter, and herbivorous species need very complex digestive systems in order to support their lifestyles. This is why cows have four stomachs; why horses practically go into critical system failure if they get even a little bit sick. Animals that live mostly by grazing actually still do need nutrients that carnivores and omnivores get through their natural diets, which is why farming supply stores sell salt licks for animals. In the wild herbivores will quite often find ways to sneak some meat into their diets by eating bugs or small vertebrates, if you didn't already know about the fun fact of deer eating baby birds. "Obligate herbivore" meaning an animal that can ONLY physically digest plants is not a real ecological term the way "obligate carnivore" meaning animal that can ONLY physically digest meat is, though you might see it in other usages (i.e., referring to an animal that relies on a plant-based diet for all of its nutrients).

If a wild deer was given access to human society, they would probably not opt for veganism for connection with their true species; they would more likely appreciate having a way to get sodium so easily. This isn't to shame anyone who does choose a vegan/vegetarian diet for species euphoria reasons, but more to reassure folks who can't, you aren't less of an herbivore.

To carnivore nonhumans who feel dysphoric that their body can't digest raw meat like wild carnivores can:

It can!

The reason you don't want to be eating raw meat like a wolf or stoat or monitor lizard is because you will get sick or you will contract a parasite, which might sound like just a different reason to feel disconnected from your species, but here's the main two things:

1. The actuality is that wild wolves and stoats and monitor lizards DO get sick and contract parasites. This is often how wolves and stoats and monitor lizards die in the wild and why ones in captivity, being fed parasite-free meat and having illnesses treated, live longer. There are raw meats you can eat safely, you just have to know where they're sourced from and that they're guaranteed not to have risks! That's why sushi is a thing, and why people say you can technically eat raw cut (not ground) beef but not pork or chicken. Cooked meat is also often tastier and easier for the body to process (cit.: Grug et al. 780,000 BCE) so that's why humans have loved their medium-well steak since they came up with it. And 2. wild predators are "able to eat raw meat" mostly because they killed it, so it's fresh and hasn't been sitting around able to pick up bacteria, the way raw meat you get at a grocery store would have. This is why a lot of prey animals have a "play dead" defense mechanism: most predators do not want to eat something that's already dead, because it might get them sick.

If a wild owl was given access to human society, they would probably not desire only the rawest of meats for connection with their true species; they would more likely appreciate having access to food that had all the pathogens cleaned and/or scorched out of it.

“I’m sorry! It won’t happen again!” 

You’re not sure anymore what you were doing. How low did you have to fall to be on your knees, begging not to get fired? “Yeah, yeah. Alright, get up,” your boss sighs, looking at the clock on the wall. “There’s a group of college kids in room four. Lea is there alone now, so go join her. Don’t be late again, though,” she warns you, and you immediately nod, promising it won’t happen ever again. 

You swallow hard as you close the door behind yourself, closing your eyes. No matter how filthy the job is, you need the money to pay for your studies. You can’t get fired. Not now when you finally learned the trick of how to get bigger tips. 

Whenever you were failing a subject in high school, you used to joke about becoming a stripper or finding a rich husband so you could drop out, but you never actually thought those thoughts would come to be your reality. Sure, you never dropped out and now do this just so you can stay in school, but it feels bizarre. 

You fix your top, making sure it still does its job and holds your breasts in place while showing enough skin. Your outfit is ridiculous, revealing more than you would want, but it does what it should. 

You take a deep breath before opening the door of room four, putting on a smile as you walk towards your coworker, who is currently dancing around the pole placed in the middle of the table with all five of the guys in the room having their eyes glued to her body. 

“Mind me joining you?” You speak softly, tracing your fingers along your coworker’s ass, slowly moving down to her thighs. “Oh, wow,” one of the guys breathes out, and it makes you roll your eyes. You just hope they don’t notice it. You glance their way, your eyes immediately widening when you notice the little too-familiar group of boys. Shit. 

How unlucky do you have to be? You made sure to choose a strip club in a town far enough so it would be impossible to meet any of the people you see every day in classes, so why on Earth is Choi Beomgyu sitting in room four with his friends? And what the fuck is he doing in a place like this in the first place? 

“Angel, are you okay?” Lea asks you quietly, making sure to use your club nickname so she wouldn’t give out your personal information. But it’s too late for that because you know damn well Beomgyu knows who you are. “I know them,” you admit, mentally slapping yourself to get professional again. “It’s fine, though,” you say, stepping back and turning to face them. “Do you think we can switch?” You try to be as quiet as possible when you speak to her, but Beomgyu seems to catch your words as he pulls out his wallet. “How much for a lap dance?” He wonders. Lea opens her mouth to answer, but before she can do so, he already has some money out, asking if it’s enough. That’s more than enough, you gasp, and Beomgyu scoffs when he sees your jaw practically on the floor. 

Lae takes a step back from the pole, about to get down from the table and do as he asked for, but he stops her. “Not from you,” he shakes his head. “But from her,” he points directly at you, making the guy–that you recognize as Choi Yeonjun–beside him laugh. “I definitely won’t mind a lap dance from you,” Yeonjun smirks towards your coworker. She sends you an apologetic smile before making her way to the redhead, leaving you to take up on Beomgyu’s request. 

You grit your teeth, walking to him. “Hi,” Beomgyu smiles, spreading his legs apart and leaning back so his back touches the couch. “They can call another girl here, right? Wouldn’t want to keep them all alone while I have my fun.” You frown, letting him know you’re not looking forward to this. “You can have your fun, and then I’ll move on to someone else,” you smile back at him, but your smile is as forced as it can be. “Don’t think so,” he proclaims, pulling you onto his lap. “What do you mean?” 

“I’m keeping you all to myself tonight.” 

He’s weird. Choi Beomgyu is a weirdo. For the first time since you got to know him, he isn’t showing off or trying to get a better grade than you, but he is still as annoying as ever. You glance to your side where Lea is, watching her do her job on Yeonjun’s lap while his three friends watch them, Huening almost fisting himself through his pants. “You want me to do the same?” He nods, grabbing the money he took out of his wallet before and sticking them between your boobs with a smirk. “That’s what I’m paying you for.” 

If your boss saw you, you are sure you would get fired on the spot. You keep trying to keep your distance, unable to look as sexy as you usually do when you know who your client is. You try to step back and think of it as finished, but Beomgyu holds your wrist, giving you a warning look before he pulls you back onto his lap, making you sit down. “I want a proper one. I’m not settling for this shy version you just did.” You gulp down, trying to find an excuse for yourself. “I can’t–” Your name leaves his lips, and you close your mouth. “I wanna see you do it properly.” 

You sigh, positioning yourself again. You take a deep breath and close your eyes, doing your best to forget that Choi Beomgyu is under you as you start your dance. This time, just like they taught you to. 

And that’s how you got yourself into the situation you are in now. You’re not sure how it all happened, honestly. You were just doing your job, a silly little lap dance, so how did that turn into rubbing your closed pussy on his boner? 

“Wait,” Beomgyu’s breath shakes as he looks around to see if his friends weren’t watching. He sighs when he sees them too busy with the pole dancer and another one of your coworkers that joined after Soobin’s request. “For what? Hm? Weren’t you the one humping the air seconds ago? Asking me to sit down and feel you?” You tease him, your hands on his shoulders. The material of your panties is thin, so there is no surprise your dripping cunt leaves stains on his pants, too. He doesn’t seem to care though, thrusting his hips up. 

He wouldn’t have ever thought he’d get himself into this situation. Being dragged to a strip club by his friends was one thing—but finding you there? Oh, was he in heaven? The look on your face when you noticed him, the way you refused even getting closer to him—all that was making his pants tighter already. He couldn’t let his chance go to waste, could he? His long-term crush in front of him, able to give him a lap dance, what better thing was there? So he took his chance, but he didn’t expect you to get his dick hard so easily. He didn’t think you’d get him so worked up or that you’d actually do as he pleases when he asked you to sit on him so he could feel you. 

The feeling of your wet panties on him, with your already-short skirt rolled up, and your boobs practically shoved in his face, he just couldn’t help himself and hump against you. He needed you. In every and any way he could get. 

“Can I touch you?” He whines as you grind on him again. You nod, not caring anymore what could happen after tonight with the two of you. You moan out when Beomgyu squeezes your breast in his hands, leaning closer to you so he can lick your nipple through your top. Your fingers wander on his chest, pushing him back against the couch as your movements get faster. You know you shouldn’t be doing this with a client of yours, especially with so many people around, but you can’t help it, knowing this is the only chance you’ll ever get to do anything like this with him. 

His hands move down to your waist, controlling your movements as he makes you grind on his lap, trying to stimulatingly thrust his hips against you. “Shit,” he groans out, his pace slowing down as he feels his dick twitch in his pants. He’s close, too damn close. But he can’t stop. He needs to feel you on him more. “Beom?” You speak up softly, but at that moment, his hands fall from your waist to his side, his head thrown back. You move back, glancing down at your bodies, and scoff. Choi Beomgyu just came in his pants because of you. 

That sounds like something you should write in your diary. 

“Do you work tomorrow?” He asks, trying to recollect himself as he brushes his hair off his face to see better. “No,” you shake your head, taking a moment to breathe. You don’t want to get up from him. “Do you know where I live?” You frown. “No?” 

“Can I come to your house then?” The puppy eyes he gives you make you even more confused. “Why?” 

“I’ll pay you. Just let me do this again naked,” he pleases, looking around the room. “With less people around.” 

Your eyes widen, trying to make sense of what he is saying. You don’t understand him, but you nod either way. You want to know where this goes.

Randomly got this idea from all the stuff I see from tiktok. yearning. So I hope you enjoy my yapping!

Yearning With SBG Main Six

Ashlyn:

Subtle "favoritism" in the group: As we know Ashlyn tends to even with the group just not as much now avoids people and any form of physical contact if the amount of times she looked like she wanted to send Aiden through a wall for touching her is anything to go based on. Her yearning would be her not avoiding said person and choosing to be with them in quiet moments. She wouldn't talk or attempt any form of conversation, but she would sit slightly closer to them then she would with the others and she tole4ates simple physical touch from them.

Protection through actions, not words: as stated by red Ashlyn is more then willing to stand up for herself if necessary and this willingness to protect herself also turns into her very quickly and willingly standing up for who she's yearning for. She doesn't ask if they need her help or anything instead she'd put herself in between them and the threat. Or if she finds out about a problem there experiencing she'd take care of it without telling or asking them.

A hint of softening of her normal demeanor: Ashlyn's default emotion and description is cold and deadpan stuff like that. Though her yearning causes her to be unusually soft around that person. It's not very noticeable, but it's there. Through the way her eyes linger a little to long, when her brows furrow in concern rather then annoyance. Ashlyn would even be less mean wanting to make them happy so she's less blunt and actually sugar coats stuff a bit.

Remembering small details about them, but never bringing it up: Ashlyns very observant and one of her tell tale yearning signs is when she observes them a lot, remembering every detail she can. She never tells them she remembered these tiny details or ever bring them up, but if they pay attention to certain actions she does they'd find out pretty quick how much she pays attention. Like how she just so happens to have something they like such as a favorite snack or drink.

Aiden:

Constantly giving gifts including ill-fitting ones: Aiden honestly doesn't really care about money cause he's rich rich this means if he sees a something cool/flashy that reminds him of you or himself he will buy it for you. It doesn't matter whether or not you'd like it or even want it he can and will buy it for you. Think like a gigantic spider man hello kitty plushie because well one why not and two he's spider man. Or like something extremely spicy when you can't handle heat. He wants to be someone you think about a lot.

Boldly inviting himself into someone's personal space/activities: As shown multiple times Aiden and personal boundaries/space for the most part do not mix. This means Aiden would not hesitate to invite himself to join you when you clearly want to be alone or enjoy some quiet. He also 101% shows up unannounced at your house or somewhere you told him you'd be. His reasoning if questioned would be "I was bored, so I want to annoy you!" or "figured you could use my irresistible very charming company!" And no he doesn't care whether or not you wanted him there.

Attempting to show loyalty through reckless, unnecessary acts: Aiden is Aiden so he's gonna be hella reckless for literally no reason. If he decides that your having a small issue with someone or are in slight trouble he can and will very impulsively may I add jump in on your defense in a very dumb way. This includes him doing stuff like doing some dumb risky stunt to prove that he's devoted to you or he'd confronting someone he suspected of being mean to you the rudest way he can. He does this stuff in hopes that it'll catch your attention or even make you admire him.

Tells a lot of personal stories and thinks you should share just as much: As we all know Aiden talks quite literally just to talk. Him yearning involves him wanting you to feel comfortable enough with him to tell him everything which means he's gonna tell you everything so you know he trusts you in hopes you start to subconsciously trust him. And when I say he tells you everything he tells you everything; personal stories, adventures, random thoughts he gets. He'll also ask you a bunch of personal questions and if you decide to answer he's actually quiet and waits for you to finish talking before he shares a story or asks another question.

Ben:

Obsessively texting/writing long unsent messages/letters: As we know Ben doesn't speak so it's kind of hard for him to express his emotions so to make up for this he'd spend hours crafting long detailed texts/journal entries about/for you. He does this to make up for all the feelings he can't verbally tell you and when I say he spends hours on them he spends HOURS on them. He fixs them, deletes them if he thinks there bad, and then rewrites them. Though you'd rarely probably never even be sent/given any of the messages or letters.

Quietly supporting them in group decisions: Ben usually just goes with whatever Aidens pick is, but when your involved it's different. Whenever the group is having any kind of discussion that involves a decision or everyone is trying to come up with a solution Ben makes sure that your opinion and ideas are heard. If you happen to hesitate to speak up or if everyone else is talking Ben would use text to speech and if that doesn't work he's more then willing to shut everyone up by hitting something. He then proceeds to make everyone focus on you so you could give your opinion or idea.

Becoming a silent presences like a shadow: Ben wouldn’t want to bother you by constantly attempting to hang out with you instead he’d almost become your shadow. Always just by coincidence be there whenever you need him. He also tends to just quietly follow you around not talking or messing with you just close enough for you to know that he’s there and listening to you. He’d just always there when you need him.

Remembering small details about them: Bens quiet very quiet he’s an observer and picks up on tiny details and facts about you; favorite drink, a random issue your having, or something you talked about needing to get. He’d silently and most of the time without you knowing acquire said item for you or even take care of your problems if he knows how. Ben doesn’t mind if you don’t know that it’s him he’d take satisfaction in knowing your happy and content now that the issue is solved.

Logan:

Obsessively replaying past social interactions between you two: As confirmed by Red Logan has social anxiety so he probably already replays past social interactions he’s had with people, but with you it’s 10x’s worse. He replays yours and his interactions multiple times picking every moment he could have said something wrong, ignored, or misstepped. This causes him to remember a lot about you and he can’t help, but want your interactions with him to go perfect.

Clinging onto small acts of kindness: If you show Logan even the tiniest action of kindness he clings into it. It is on his mind a lot and he'd try to subtly pay you back. He does this because he wants you to be kind to him and come to him for things since he always does something nice in return. He also will remember any compliment or shared moments between you two taking it as a lot more significant then it actually was. And no matter how small the act of kindness was he always seems to turn a bright red.

Subtly hovering and trying to help: Logan would constantly try to be around you when he knows your doing things like school work. He doesn't ask for your attention or anything, but if need be he offers help. For Logan it doesn't matter whether or not it's something you'd actually need help with he'll ask to help or he'd always make himself available for tasks in hope that out of everyone in the group you ask him for help. He'd offer to do things like; carry something, grab something, or just correct a mini mistake you made.

Writing detailed plans for hypothetical social scenarios: As we know Logans not really good with social interactions and well yeah Taylor helps him, but he still panics when it comes to you. He wants you to not see him as a awkward person. He writes out entire conversation he could possibly have with you and every response you could possibly have. Even if he might not use the drafts or even remember what he should say he still does it because it makes him feel slightly less awkward,

Taylor:

Excessive doting and praise: when your the person of Taylor’s affection she would suffocate you in compliments even for small actions. Such as just styling your hair slightly for the day she would go “you did a good a good job on your hair today!” Or “you’re really good at everything aren’t you?” This isn’t Taylor just being her normal sweet self. This is Taylor wanting to be a person you associate with positive feeling so you’d want to stay close to her because of the good vibes and encouragement she gives.

Subtly engineering situations to spend time together: Taylor loves being around you any chance she gets and when she can’t think of a way to ask you to hangout without it sounding weird she’d make up stuff like ‘needing help’ with something you happen to be at or ‘accidentally’ showing up somewhere she knows you’ll be or she’d just so happen to need to go the same way as you. Just to subtly manipulate the situation so she can spend more time with you.

Constant checking in and offering help: Taylor would constantly monitor you always making sure your okay. She’d constantly ask “are you okay?” Or “do you need anything?” Doesn’t matter if it’s obvious that your happy and having a good day. She just needs to constantly check in with you and if she even suspects that your lying about being fine she’d go around and ask anyone including teachers to see how your day went.

Expressing intense worry for minor issues: If you show the slightest hint of discomfort or get a small injury Taylor reacts with exaggerated worry/concern. She'd fret openly not trying to hide it for a moment. She does this in hope that you'll form an emotional bond with her to the point you'd start subconsciously going to her when you feel bad knowing she'll take care of you.

Tyler:

"Accidental" acts of service: Tyler's not the type especially in the beginning of the webtoon to openly offer help yo people. Though if he found out someone he liked was having difficulty with something, he would do small things for them. He just so happen to find an item they lost or he just so happen to deal with a minor problem for said person. He does this all while acting like he just so happen to be there and how he didn't know you were struggling or having issues with that thing/person. You did manage to catch him in the act of helping you though just grumbling to himself about how you don't care about yourself enough.

Sarcastic warning that is just concern: as we know Tyler more often then not has a tough boy attitude and can be very mean so when you attempt to do something stupid or risky Tyler would hit you with some sarcastic or exaggerated warnings/remarks. He'd say stuff like "yeah don't come crying to me when that blows up in your face" or "wow.. that's soooo smart... best idea ever.." His tone is always annoyed and snarky, but he always watches you very carefully to make sure if it does go wrong he can help you quickly. He's basically just saying be careful in a Tyler way.

Hyper vigilant protection that can come off as controlling behavior: Tyler will be very protective such as constantly watching over you to the point where he can come off as being overbearing and over protective. This is his way of ensuring your safety because he's horrified of you getting hurt in any way. Tyler would snap at someone for being mean to you and scowl at anyone he deems a threat to your safety. If you ever ask him he'll just claim he was 'annoyed' by the situation.

Tolerating their presence: For someone like like Tyler just allowing someone in his space without attempting to push them away is a very deep sign of affection. Tyler will complain about your habits and make snide remarks, but he wouldn't push you away. He always values your presence, but he wouldn't actually tell you that.

The best part of being his own camp counsellor is that he can wake up whenever the fuck he likes.

Nico’s a fan.

Because, however, his dumb ass made friends with the camp’s head medic, he doesn’t get to sleep in as often as he would like. He is instead often woken up before the clock strikes nine, which is a tragedy and one of the forty thousand reasons he is going to be present on Will’s judgement day. (The scales tip any which way on a regular basis, but as of last week, Will is going to hell. Unfortunate. Nico’ll still visit him, though. Bring him one half of a twizzler or something.) So when he wakes up, one lovely morning, mouth tasting like something rotted in it and sun well past halfway across the sky, he is capital-C Concerned.

What a horrible tragedy that is. Finally, for the first time in months, he was able to sleep in. And his first thought is not gratitude. Solace may indeed have to die — Nico was not this way before he started planting his annoying ass front and centre in Nico’s life. He’s quite fairly certain he used to be frightening and badass. Now Will orders him to drink milk for the sake of his calcium and he does. Gods.

“Morning,” he hedges, approaching the archery range, feeling marginally more alive than twenty minutes prior.

Kayla raises an amused eyebrow. “Dude, it’s, like, two.”

“Well fuck you, then.”

She smirks. “Aw, did baby not get his Sunshine fix of the day? Is that why he’s so grumpy?”

It really sucks that Will is so fond of his siblings. Nico wonders if Will would still like him if he knew how many times he daydreams of transporting Kayla onto the moon per day.

“As soon as I figure out which god would appreciate you as a sacrifice, you’re gone.”

“Yeah, right,” she snorts, turning away and lining up an arrow. She lets it fly, watching as it shaves a splinter off a hunk of wood fifty feet away. “You couldn’t get close enough to kick my ass before I’d skewer you, di Angelo.”

Remembering the warning arrow Kayla had shot through his shoulder last week, he wisely chooses not to press the matter any further. The power visibly goes to her head. Fuck.

“Just — tell me where Will is.”

“Why?” She strings another arrow. The grin on her face is a level of shit-eating that Nico has only before seen on a Stoll. She should spend less time around Julia, or else the camp is in for some serious trouble. “What are your intentions with my dear brother?”

Nico, on principle, refuses to answer that question. Kayla shrugs, finishing her shot and then turning around to stick her tongue out at him.

“No answer, no location! Find him yourself, loverboy. And remember that I am always watching.”

Stomping away, and ignoring the smile twitching at his lips — she is so annoying, truly, gods above he owes Bianca a thousand apologies for ever opening his mouth — he heads towards the infirmary. There are only six locations Will is at any given time, after all, except when he disappears for several hours randomly but Nico doesn’t know how to bring that up yet. As he approaches the infirmary, though, he hears it absolutely blasting with music, like genuinely shaking the ground a little bit, and knows exactly where to find him.

As he approaches the door, wincing at the door, he finds it closed. Odd — Will likes a breeze when he works. Even odder is the hastily-written sign pasted onto it:

ANNUAL CLEAN OUT DAY. IF YOU NEED ME, TOUGH SHIT. IF YOU NEED A BANDAID, TOUGH SHIT. IF YOU’RE BLEEDING OUT, CALL AN AMBULANCE AND PRAY. I AM BUSY.

(‘Busy’ is underlined three times.)

In smaller print, under the all-caps monstrosity, is:

Unless you’re Nico, in which case disregard the previous sentiment. No, Cecil, this does NOT mean you.

The note is written again in Ancient Greek, Latin, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Mandarin, Italian, Polish, Korean, Morse Code, and another ten languages Nico can’t even name. Actually, wait — the top left is Klingon. And middle right note does not appear to be language, showing instead a poorly drawn stick figure in armour being shoved into a cannon and shot into the sun by another poorly drawn stick figure in a lab coat. Nico loves a man who’s multi-talented, indeed.

Hesitantly, Nico cracks open the door. He is immediately assaulted by a solid wall of sound, and then nearly bowled over by the enigma himself, William ‘I Can Restructure A Human Brain But Cannot Tie My Shoelaces’ Solace. He catches himself at the last second, and then barely manages to catch Will, grabbing him around the waist just before his head hits the floor.

“Nico!” he shouts over the music, smiling brightly. “Hi! You’re here!”

“I’m here.” He can physically feel his voice cracking, but luckily the music drowns it out. Hopefully. “Uh, what’re you doing?”

“Cleaning!” Will straightens up, although he stays within the circle of Nico’s arms. Nico tries real hard to keep his gaze firmly planted on his face and not on the hands he still has in his hips. “I do it once a year, kick everybody out and deep clean the place. Helps keep it fresh and minimize the bloodstains on the floor.”

“Ah. And the music…”

“It’s fun!” Will shouts. He gasps when the CD player skips and a new song comes on, heavy base and funky synths blasting so hard the window panes shake. “Oh my gods! I love this one!” He turns his bright grin at Nico full force, absolutely no holdbacks on the dimples or freckles, gods help him, and bows cheekily. “Can I have this dance, good sir?”

“It’s Britney Spears’ Outrageous,” Nico protests weakly.

“Yeah!”

…Very, very weakly.

“…Okay.”

Will whoops, grabbing his hands and spinning him around. Nico yelps, nearly tripping over a cot, but when he looks back up Will has his eyes closed and is shimmying not unlike a worm on a fish hook, and it’s so ridiculous that he can’t help but laugh. Will pries one eye open, grinning widely, and shimmies harder.

“You’re such a dweeb!”

“Join me in the dweebiness! Free yourself!”

Nico rolls his eyes fondly, squeezing Will’s hand, and lets himself get ridiculous. He’ll deny it if anyone asks, but it’s fun.

…And not just because Will is next to him, smile brighter than any star, dancing like a massive dork, hand clasped in his.

I’d Still Choose You

Warnings: idol! Jake, fem! Reader, short little Drabble, fluff central, I was listening to work by Rihanna and got an idea

In which Jake swears he’s seeing double…

Everyday was a good day for Jake as long as he got to see you. It didn’t matter where or how, as long as it was you. What Jake loved most is that you never forced him to be anyone else with you. You didn’t make him interact with you or push him to be social and he appreciated that. Especially when he worked long days as an idol and just needed to hold you to be content.

You loved how involved Jake was. He knew your family and made sure to interact with them as much as he could. From sending gifts to your mom to even emailing a concert ticket to your young cousin who was in love with Jungwon. It always made you smile to see Jake be so integrated with the people you hoped he would call his in-laws one day.

This day wasn’t particularly hard, but not easy either. Jake was tired and just needed to see you. So he was so surprised to walk in and see “you” eating ramen in your apartment. Especially the original buldak when you only liked the carbonara.

“Y/N?” He said out loud.

You seemed to have headphones on. That wasn’t abnormal as you loved music but something felt… off. Like the uncanny valley impact.

“Who are you?” Jake shouted.

That made you turn around and oh no. No way. Absolutely not. There was something seriously off about you. Jake was beyond confused. Your face looked the same and the quirks were similar but something was not quite right. His heart didn’t get that same feeling. His brain didn’t zing the way it usually does.

“Um… hi Jake.” “You” said slightly confused.

And then from the corner of Jake’s eye he saw you, like actually you, come out of your bedroom. That’s when his neurons reacted. His heart skipped and his brain did the thing. And a little extra because you wore his shirt with a random pair of shorts. Yeah, that’s how it’s supposed to go.

So then who the fuck was this?

“Hi Jakey!” You greeted.

Jake looked between the two and he second guessed himself. That’s when he took out his phone and immediately went to call somebody.

“Who’re you calling?” You asked.

“Sunghoon.” He answered. “Need to make sure he didn’t give me weed gummies or any other drug.”

You chuckled and looked at the person at your island. “Jake I told you my twin was gonna be here.”

That’s when Jake looked up with wide eyes. “Huh? You said you had a sister not a twin!” He shouted.

You and your twin laughed. He had seen kid photos of you and yeah your sister looked identical but most kids do. But now to know you were twins? Well everything fell into place.

“Jakey, sweetie, I thought it was obvious! We have the same birthday and everything! You think the Gabby I text in my phone every year is just some random friend of mine?” You asked genuinely confused.

Jake shook his head in disbelief. “I mean I thought maybe Irish twins or a coincidence, some shit like that.”

Gabby stood up and smiled at Jake. “Well hi Jakey! I’ve been abroad for the past few years hence why we’ve never met but I’m glad we did now! I know so much about you from my sister.”

Jake shook her hand still a bit shaken from the experience.

“Honestly sis he’s a good one! He noticed that I wasn’t you right away.” Gabby commented.

That made you turn to Jake in shock. “Huh? How? We still confuse our parents!”

Jake shrugged and walked over to you. He finally gave you a proper hug and forehead kiss.

“Every time I see you my heart and brain do this thing. But when I saw her sitting and eating the ramen you don’t like? And my body stayed perfectly neutral, baby of course that wasn’t you! I know you.” He explained.

You giggled and glanced at Gabby who had sat back down to finish her food. “So even with my twin you’d still choose me?”

Jake rolled his eyes and kissed you sweetly. “That’s not even a question. I love your family and your twin seems great, I’d love to get to know her more. But no one will ever be you. No one can make me feel like you do.”

Gabby chuckled hearing his words. If the boy could decipher who’s who without even hearing them speak? Yeah Gabby approved. He was good enough for you.

pairing: percy jackson x daughter of zeus!reader warning(s): little bit of swearing an: hi! ty for requesting <3 im literally not even funny but i hope u enjoy thissss! also theres a lotta taylor in this one 🤭

BIG REPUTATION BIG REPUTATION OHHH YOU AND ME WE GOT BIG REPUTATIONS AHHH

it doesnt matter if youre a social butterfly or antisocial, everybody knew you and percy before you even started dating

so best believe when you actually got together, everybody ( literally ) cheered

but your flirting era had to be on of the most painful things to watch

seriously doesnt matter if you got game or not, percy is literally oblivious and a LOSERRRRR

im so sorry but somebody had to say it

bro had THE BIGGEST crush on you and whenever he'd try to like compliment you itd usually sound a little weird

tell me why he'd probably say something like

"i like your outfit today! that shirt for sure looks better with those jeans than it did with the shorts you wore 2 weeks ago :)"

lil creep

cue silena crying in the corner because she made a bet with beckendorf and it is NOT looking good for her right now

WE NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE.

you guys are iconic

like well-known power couple

I'D be scared to train with you guys cause like what do you MEAN i gotta go against the best swordsmen at camp and the daughter of the king of the gods??

no thank you, i choose life ♡

when people are asked to think of a couple, they immediately think of you guys

everybody loves you guys for real

if you ever broke up ( which you wont, percy would probably just say "no" ) itd probably leave everybody super torn

ITD BE LIKE IN GILMORE GIRLS WHEN LORELAI AND LUKE BROKE UP AND THE WHOLE TOWN LIKE TOOK SIDES

if you havent watched gilmore girls, that basically sums the situation up. lorelai is literally like the town's sweetheart and luke is the owner of the most popular diner in their small town ♡ very cutesy

so sorry for the spoiler

SALLY LOVESSS YOU

she's literally so sweet and treats you as if you were her own child

she'd definitely bake cookies when you first meet and if you liked them, you best believe you are being sent back to camp with a baggie full of cookies

cant love you as much as percy does though !!

youre literally his queen

( sorry i say literally a lot )

he treats you like royaltyyyyy

always opening doors for you, walks you everywhere, follows the sidewalk rule, everything ♡

when its raining, he picks you up bridal style and takes you wherever you need to go, so you dont get your shoes wet ♡♡

yall literally live in the rain tho

neither of you leave your cabin with an umbrella, the rain just gives you life

AND I DONT KNOW WHY BUT WITH YOU ID DANCE IN A STORM IN MY BEST DRESS FEARLESS

one time, you went out for a fancy dinner, got dressed up all nice very fancy very fancy

BUT you BOTH forgot to check the weather

and it ended up POURING rain by the time you got out of the restaurant

and i kid you not

percy just grabs you by the hand, leads you out into the rain, and begins to dance with you.

no coverage, no music, no fucks given. just him and his girl.

he treasures that moment forever and ever

all the gods looked down at you from olympus and melted

neither of you care if you're disrespecting your fathers, you spend almost every night together ♡

percy is absolutely a big cuddler

literally just adores the feeling of you close to him

oh lord save him his drug is his baby he'll be using for the rest of his life

falling asleep together is so easy, you just melt into each other's touch

waking up is what's harder

neither of you want to leave the bed, and neither of you want the other person to leave the bed either.

percy's the typa guy to just have a sweet little conversation with you before he gets up for the day

you always get a good morning ( and a good night! ), then percy asks you what's on your schedule for the day ( as if he hasn't memorized it by now ), and what you wanted for breakfast that morning

he simply cannot get up without it

he's also the type of guy to just whisper sweet nothings into your ear if he wakes up before you ♡

he just goes on a little ramble about how pretty you look when your sleeping, even though you are sleeping while he's 'talking' to you

sorry where was i?

ZEUS.

the bastrard HATES percy and percy HATES the bastard

theyve literally been beefing since he was 12 years old

so best believe when zeus found out his daughter was dating this son of poseidon??? oo he was PISSEDDD.

poseidon is literally so chill with you. like he just cares that percy is happy. seriously doesn't care about who your dad is. if anything, he already sees you as family

zeus holds back everything in him to not kill percy on the spot every time you make out

he doesn't do it because he knows you'd probably walk to the underworld to get him back and hades would go feral if he got another orpheus & eurydice

percy gives zero fucks. he flips off the sky every time he walks outside

percy is so sweet and caring and kind and shows your father such respect like hes literally an angel 😇😇

i wouldn't say that he starts like actually respecting him, but he tries not to offend him as often as usual, just for you ♡

in the scenario that you'd have to make a trip to olympus, percy and zeus put on their big boy pants and try to tolerate each other

hera dont like you or percy bro she's literally just there

its okay though, you both despise her for kidnapping percy and wiping his memory ♡♡♡

JASON AND THALIA HOWEVER

thalia would definitely be the dramatic dad that zeus cant be (in person, at least)

whenever she and the hunters stay at camp she ( jokingly ) tells percy

"jackson, i want her home by NINE PEE EM. no later. i expect you won't be drinking, and you will be TAKING CARE OF HER. in the instance that i hear you DONT, i think you'll be taking a second trip across the river styx, you hear me?"

in like an sergeant voice and everything

percy plays along with it and salutes her going "yes ma'am!"

jason thinks you are so cute together

since you were at camp when the whole switcheroo thing happened, jason knew you first, and you were instantly best buddies

you told him about percy, and once he met him, he was happy to find out he was exactly like you described him

jason and thalia are ur #1 supporters ♡

in summary, alexa play that should be me

[august-anon]

look i love a good truth spell/truth serum fic, esp in the batfam fandom because none of these assholes know how to communicate with each other at ALL kjdsfhkjdfh

but think of all the possibilities of a truth spell/serum mixed with tickling/teasing like

is the spell/serum one that forces truth as a compulsion? where you cant help but blurt out the truth and resisting is futile/painful and you have no choice?

is the spell/serum one where you can choose not to answer, but if you speak at all anything that comes out will be the truth and you cant physically lie?

but no matter what mixing that with tickling is the best sdkjfhsdf like, they cant even protest without meaning it (and you know i hc literally all characters ever to enjoy being tickled, so, lol)

and maybe its even to the point where you cant hide/mask reactions because that is, in a way, lying -- omg. so many possibilities

(rest of the more detailed hcs under the cut because this got long, but who is even surprised because this is Me we're talking about KJSDFHJDH)

bruce getting hit and alfred performing an injury check once he gets back to the cave and he accidentally hits some ticklish spots and bruce cant hide it like usual because of the spell/serum and he's like "hey!" and wants to tell alfred to stop it or cut it out or something, but he cant, because that would be a lie because he's still that little boy that always wanted to play tickle monster with Thomas and Martha (and sometimes Alfred, once the grief became manageable, in rare times Alfred dropped the propriety) and he still thinks its fun. and alfred can tell and just smiles indulgently, sneaking some more in here and there under the guise of the injury check

dick getting hit and he already knows his siblings are going to be hounding him with questions because theyre little shits like that, and he complains about it during the batmobile ride home (which Bruce actually went with him on because dick was real out of it for a bit there and Bruce had been pretty worried). bruce isnt gonna ask him questions, at least not until he can be fully monitored, but he hums here and there to respond, and dick is of course fluent in Batman Grunt Language so theyre able to have a full conversation and you cant tell me dick is not adhd so theyre jumping topics like crazy but bruce has learned to follow his train of thought by now. and somehow tickling gets touched upon, maybe a childhood memory or smth, and dick tries to say something about it being so annoying or smth like that but he chokes on the words because he cant lie and whoops, bruce definitely knew that when dick was a kid (he wasnt shy about it, he was an attention seeking kid) but definitely didnt know it continued once he grew up. he definitely makes it clear that he's putting that one in his back pocket, and dick whines about how its embarassing, but when asked if he wants bruce to forget it, he cant lie and say yes because he does miss the affection of a tickle-attack from his father figure

jason who gets hit and keeps snapping at everyone to stop asking him questions because of course theyre asking embarrassing shit, who wouldn't. and dick is the most annoying of all like "do you REALLY hate it when i hug you??" and he's got the compulsion type so he tries to bite his tongue for a bit but eventually cant take it anymore and spits out a rage-filled "no" and dick gasps and starts grinning like the cat that caught the canary and starts going through all the types of affection he can think of "do you actually hate when i kiss your forehead?" "do you actually hate when i spam you with tiktoks?" "do you actually hate when i force you to come to movie nights?" "do you actually hate when i get you to cuddle?" and of course the answer to all of these is no, Jason doesnt actually hate it, but goddammit he's got a reputation to keep and he cant have his siblings all thinking he's gone soft (luckily alfred had kicked out everyone but dick by now, because dick was SUPPOSED to be monitoring jason's symptoms, but instead he was being Obnoxious) and then he gets to the worst one of "do you actually hate when i tickle you?" and jason doesnt know if its more or less incriminating that he tries to hold back his answer for as long as he does, but eventually he has to give in to the "no" trying to escape from his body. and dick has never looked so smug or evil and jason knows he's never living this down. especially not when dick gets into questions like "do you like it when i tease you?" or "why do you like it when i tickle you?" Jason swears, the second this wears off, Dick is gonna regret ever being born

tim gets hit and he's got the kind where he doesnt even realize fully he's speaking the truth. he's super chatty, cant stop talking, just keeps dropping more information. almost like he's high actually, but not quite, he's still mostly aware he just. cant really stop talking much and doesnt care to lol, but all of it has to be the truth. and so his family guides the conversation further away from the angstier stuff and more towards silly or non-important stuff. like, what game has he been playing recently, his favorite foods, what he thinks of this or that movie.... the movie part, of course, gets them talking about movie nights in general, and tim talks about how much he loves it when they do a blanket fort night because everyone gets to be all cozy in a pile together and even after all these years he's still a little touch/affection starved (yes i know thats extremely fanon characterization but leave me alone KDFKDF), and he talks about how much he loves it when dick or bruce will give him back tickles and hair pets/head scratches if he manages to cuddle up to one of them during movie night. and because tim is in word vomit mode, he just keeps going, and he talks about how fun he finds tickling in general and how he wished it happened more because it shuts his brain off and he likes the playful affection and spending time with his siblings and/or father figure. everyone makes Extreme note of this, and tim is mortified once its worn off, but he cant really complain when he gets more cuddles, tickle attacks, AND prime back tickles/hair pets/back scratches every movie night from then on, even Jason joining in sometimes

damian gets hit and its a mix of these, he's not exactly high and its not exactly a compulsion he can resist, but he's just spouting the truth when asked and its clear he finds it annoying and is already exhausted. he's still a little wobbly so dick helps him out of the batmobile and into the medbay and up onto a cot, and in getting him on the cot he hits a few ticklish places and damian cant quite hold back his reactions while under the affects of the spell/serum and he flinches and giggles a little. and dick smiles because his baby brother is so cute, but does apologize because he really wasnt meaning too that time and he knows damian is dealing with the spell/serum right now. and damian mutters out a little "dont really mind" as he settles on the cot, and then flushes right up to his ears. and dick resists the urge to coo or laugh fondly because he knows that would not be taken well right now, but he does do his stupid bright grin. and damian is like "i dont suppose we can forget this interaction" and dick is like "not on your life, baby bat. but dont wory, youre safe for now" but damian knows as soon as the spell/serum has worn off and he's gotten some rest, his ticklishness is fair game

[lordtardigrade]

I’m actually obsessed with john getting a conservatorship over you because you want a divorce, like I will be thinking about this for the rest of my life, but so curious about what he does if you stopped talking to him or sorta just gave up

Anyways it’s absolutely incredible and very haunting 🫶

I’m so glad you like it!! And as far as how he’d react to being given the silent treatment? I think he’d be very careful to give not give you a reaction at all- especially if he thinks you’re doing it as a way to rebel against or annoy him.

I feel like in general, John can (key word: can, he definitely isn’t always) be a pretty patient guy. From the moment he’d been granted that emergency conservatorship over you, he knew there’d be some bumps in the road to getting you to accept it.

When you first start with it, he pretty quickly realizes what’s going on, but he never outright addresses it. The very most you’ll get is a pointed look and a sternly phrased “I know what you’re doing, love.”

But beyond that? It’s a relatively harmless form of rebellion, so he’ll indulge you. He’d much rather you work out your defiance by pouting and glaring than trying to run away.

But while he may tolerate it as a behavior, he’s also going to be doing his best to show that he doesn’t much care whether you’re talking to him or not.

Part of that is even if aren’t responding, he doesn’t let that doesn’t stop him from having conversations with you. He’ll pretty much just talk at you, regardless of how hard you try and make a show of ignoring him.

He’ll tell you about his day, ask you little questions he knows you won’t answer, and he’ll often find himself narrating whatever task he’s doing to you. He can always find something to comment on, regardless of how mundane the situation is. Anything to keep up communication between you two- and anything to show you that just because you’re not talking to him doesn’t mean he’ll leave you alone.

He wants to make sure that you find no benefits in refusing to talk to him, and him continuing to talk to you even if you won’t respond is a part of that.

He’ll let you have your time to pout and mope around, yes, but he’s also going to be very careful not to encourage it- he wants his wife to find her voice again, after all.

Another thing he’ll do is ask questions, giving you options- usually one he knows you’ll hate and another he knows you’d rather choose. He always knows which option you would prefer, but he asks anyways, knowing you won’t answer…. Then using that as an excuse to go with the choice he knows you’ll won’t like.

Usually it’s small things- like what should he make for dinner, whether you want a shower or a bath, or what you want to wear to bed- but occasionally, it’s things he really knows will get under your skin. Really, he’s just trying to taunt you into speaking to him again.

He may pretend not to see/understand any attempts at nonverbal communication you make too. For example, if he asks you something and you nod your head yes or no, he’s only going to acknowledge that if it was the answer he wanted. If it wasn’t, then he’ll just treat it like you didn’t respond at all… which usually means doing whatever he wants- so it doesn’t really matter either way.

However, if your silence seems to be more of a genuine reaction to your situation- like as in you’re dissociating- he may be a bit more lenient. He’ll probably go easy on you and let you use some forms of nonverbal communication, so long as he doesn’t think you’re doing it solely to rebel against him. But in general, he still will be trying to get you speaking again, even if your silence is something you can’t really help.

Pick a Bird: Your Next Romantic Getaway 💞🦢

*･ﾟ✧Masterlist | *･ﾟ✧Ko-Fi

Hey y'all, welcome back to a new pick a card reading. This reading is all about a possible rendezvous you and your special date or partner will have during the most pleasant time of year. Why Pokémon? I am strongly tempted to do a series of nostalgia themed pick a card readings, from different games and series, and similar looking birds showed up in my 3D card deck, so why not start with the classic trio?

[*this future person refers to someone romantically special and significant in your life. This PAC is for anyone single or in a relationship, and also LGBT+ friendly.]

Pick which legendary bird Pokémon calls to you. You can also view the 3D bird cards below to choose your pile:

Pile 1 - Articuno / Blue Bird ❄ Pile 2 - Zapdos / Yellow Bird ⚡ Pile 3 - Moltres / Red Bird 🔥

Pile 1 - Articuno ❄

3 of Swords, Queen of Cups, Knight of Swords, XII Hanged Man; 14 - Grace, Desert - Vision Quest, 30. Mimicry, Patterns - be your own witness, Forget-me-not - Rememberance

With your cards, I see your next romantic outing will feel sentimental and quaint. This pile is more focused on the depth of the connection that's made right away, so I'm seeing a date that is quiet and laid back. From the 3 of Swords, it looks like you haven't been crazy about the last few dates you were on, or of missed opportunities in the past. Your cards are saying to leave the previous experiences aside, since your date may actually relate to some of what you've gone through. You may also feel rather jaded about the dating scene in general, but this date will be like a breath of fresh air for you. Try going into this encounter with a forgiving, clean slate mindset, and they may be easier to approach and vise versa. I'm getting that there may be some awkward silences at the start, but to persist as it's merely a surface level freeze. Your next date may be a little on the shy side, perhaps just like you, and may just need some encouragement. If you're both shy, parallel play may be something you choose to do together to start. No matter what you choose to do, this date will be one to remember for years to come.

Your date is a sensitive soul with the Queen of Cups, yet erudite with the Knight of Swords. They possess a poetic mind yet are always down for a rousing trivia game. They enjoy being intellectually stimulated by the great books yet can't help themselves but fall into Youtube rabbit holes. A dumpster truck may roll by yet they see a song to compose in it. They have a bit of refinement in them, even if they prefer wearing plain clothing. But the scientific brain doesn't take away from their inner romantic heart, it just adds to their complexity. This person is very thoughtful and polite, I'm even seeing them bringing you a small wrapped gift on the first date! Moreover, they want to know what's going on in your world, so don't be surprised if they poke around with a few questions as they're eager to get to know you better. This person will likely let you be the one to decide where to go, as they appear to be fine with just hanging out and doing their own thing.

For date ideas, I'm seeing a lot of cafés in this pile, so it may start out as small and casual. Lunch or dinner may also likely be involved. Whether you go somewhere humble or sophisticated, it's also where you will feel more free to express yourself from the heart. The place does not seem to be as important in this pile as much as the nature of the conversations you will have. I'm getting My Dinner With Andre here, so when I say long conversations, I mean looong. You will find a reason to talk to them for potentially hours, so hopefully this café will stay open late for you two! If you are spiritual, they may be inclined to discuss those topics with you in depth. Otherwise, I'm seeing a lot of nostalgia here, and they'll likely be the same age as you, so you'll get to reminisce the good old days with them. You could talk about the same things over and over and neither of you will get bored. You may even find it within you to confess things to them that you normally wouldn't feel comfortable exchanging until after you've seen each other a few times. They just have a way of making you feel comfortable enough to open up more.

If you're feeling more active, you and your date may decide to do some sightseeing, especially if there are interesting monuments or statues that would make for breaking the ice with them. You two may stroll through flower gardens, picking up ice cream along the way, enjoying peaceful sunsets next to them before gazing up at the stars. I sense education is a strong theme here, so your date may actually take place at school or in a library, where you share a study session or extracurricular together, taking time out of practice to spend moments with each other. You may be drawn to art galleries or museums where you can quietly observe with your date. With Mimicry, I see your date could have very similar interests to yours, so creating a fun activity centered around that will gradually bring you two closer. They will bring out more cerebral and curious nature in you, and your conversations could spark new understanding and ways of perceiving things. They'll leave a strong emotional impression on you, and you them, that will stick long after the date is over. Something about the way they softly speak, especially to you, that leaves you begging for a little more. Cheers, pile 1!

Pile 2 - Zapdos ⚡

XIII Death, VII Chariot, 3 of Pentacles, XX Judgement; 26 - Joy, Mountain - Strength, 44. Scavenge, Insight - bright ideas are coming, Jonquil - Power

Okay, so this group is all about the great outdoors. I can't see your next romantic getaway being cooped up inside. I'm seeing a real getaway here, an emphasis on travel. New sights, new sounds. You want a date that isn't just good, it's transformative, where you feel different coming back home than you did when you left. That's a pretty tall order, but your date is adventurous enough to try. I feel like there's something you might have put on your bucket list to do someday, for example, and should your date find out what it is, they'll be very tempted to do it with you. Always wanted to visit a historic landmark or theme park but never had a reason to go before? They'll want to go through all the excitement with you, even if they've been at that very place a million times. If they're from another culture, they'll enjoy sharing their cuisine and expanding your taste palate. Seeing you light up with bliss will make them enjoy it like it's brand new, too.

This person is likely super energetic and a little intense, so don't expect them to sit still with a meal for too long. Eventually, they'll get itchy to find the next thing to tackle. Even if they seem distracted, they are 100% on board with having you there next to them for the ride. It's just that I'm picking up so much hyperactivity with your date in particular, so make sure you two find ways to stay preoccupied the whole date. The positive side of having the Chariot here is that they'll want to get you out there in the world without straying too far out of your comfort zone. They're ever shifting in moods but also emotionally aware of how important personal boundaries are. It's all about gentle encouragement here; this person will help you get out of your shell in a way that doesn't feel so overwhelming, so you feel safe enough to explore different things to do with them. They may seem a bit standoffish at first glance, but will quickly prove their nonjudgmental, compassionate voice. They will go at your pace and be patient with you as well as others (being nice to waiters is a green flag).

Enjoying nature seems to be the first choice when it comes to this pile, although for many reasons I don't really recommend hiking in the back woods as a first date option. A small local mini golf course may be a better option for nature lovers. I would suggest finding a place close by where you can enjoy scenic views in public, like a tourist stop where they have those lookout binoculars (not actually sure what those are called lol). Boardwalk piers are a sound choice as they offer food, ocean views, and fun in one place. I'm also picking up something about a scavenger hunt here, though it may be in the form of going out shopping for strange antiques. (An adult scavenger hunt sounds fun, ngl ;_;) You may also feel inclined to scavenge through haunted or abandoned places within reason. There is a desire to check out unusual places, like streets in town with unique graffiti displays or playing a murder mystery game. A few of you may be horror fans who want to get thrills through watching a movie or trying out an escape room.

Music is also showing up here, with the girl's harp in Joy and the angel's trumpet in Judgement. I'm getting that some of you would enjoy attending a music festival or rock show, maybe even at an underground venue. If you and your date both play music, your next getaway may involve sharing a deeper bond through composing and playing together. You may inspire each other creatively through this collaboration. This is somebody who could definitely get you into a band or genre you would have never tried before were it not for their influence. They may also talk you into singing karaoke or taking dance classes with them. If this isn't music it could be some other kind of art, but I'm getting that you'll feel the urge to create something with them, like spending a day at a local paintbar. If you're up for it, go for it! They'll bring out a more bold and confident side of you who isn't afraid to take a little chance to express their artistic voice, and they'll fall for whatever you show them. Even with all this noise and activity, there will still be plenty of spaces of silence for creating a peaceful connection with them. Rock on, pile 2!

Pile 3 - Moltres 🔥

10 of Cups, VIII Strength, XXI World, 5 of Swords; 6 - Freedom, Dreamtime - Creation, 3. Anticipation, Higher Ground - rise above the noise, Geranium - Virility

Your next lovely outing will be invigorating and filled with excitement. I'm seeing city lights and hearing laughter. With 5 of Swords, your romantic outing may start as a friend group but dwindle down over the night, creating a shared space for you and your date to connect. The two of you will eventually slip away from the pack and find your own fun thing to do together, even if that means having one drive the other home. A single humble little drive or intimate conversation by the bus stop could prove more titillating than having multiple dinner dates on the schedule. Some of you may choose to wander through the expanse of the cityscape, meandering through unseen parks and finding unique hole-in-the-wall boutiques in places you thought you knew. Your date will be drawn to your spontaneity and wanderlust, or they will find a way to bring those qualities out in you. On the spot, the two of you will find ideas for where to go next, and not one minute of the night will get dull.

What I like about this date is their openness toward you; with the Strength card, they are gonna be down for whatever you feel like doing and enjoy it as if it were their plans all along. Feeding pigeons at a business park? Sure! they'll say. Trying on random clothes they'd never wear in a million years? They'll do it if it means they can do it with you. They know these moments of serendipity open a new dimension of wonder and merriment as it does yours. Perhaps you've wanted to date someone who expands your horizons and lets your curiosity run wild. A movie and dinner isn't bad per se, but it's the random sequences in between that form stronger memories. You don't want to see what they look like dressed and planned for the occasion, but when they're at their most improvisational. A date filled with pleasant surprises and random moments of joy will bring healing when dating as a whole begins to feel scripted and rehearsed. Happiness doesn't wait for a happily ever after when it can come today, and your date will know that too.

I'm getting a lot of hints for theater in the Anticipation card, next to Dreamtime. A good date idea may start as a theater show. Theater offers more variety and chances of interaction with the audience. Take them to see Rocky Horror, make sure to bring toast. A concert may be equally as engaging for the two of you, especially one that has you two dancing and screaming the whole time. You may also look into outdoor theater, as the Freedom card suggests with its lush grassy fields. There may be some adrenaline seeking here, so you may go indoor rock climbing or go-kart racing. Axe throwing sounds scary, but it's easier than it looks and a lot of fun. If you're looking for a random place to go and they ask you for suggestions, try the park. You and your date may travel to a city for a day trip and then just decide to go to a park after visiting something else and discover an incredible monument or festivity out of nowhere. It may end up being the best part of the day. So you never know what you may find while walking about in the evening.

For other date suggestions, I'm seeing house parties and nightclubs, where you come with friends initially. Some of your friends may not be too crazy about you leaving them behind for a date, so make sure boundaries are established with your friends before going out so you're all on the same page. They may not be mad at you, just checking in on you to see you're okay and safe. Finally, sport games may be another area of interest for you and your next date, especially if you bring mitts with the intent on catching any stray baseballs. You two would be the kind of date that would make silly faces up on the screen at the games if you were featured, or at least your date dreams of it! If you're on the beach and you see a volleyball net, challenge them to a game as they would love to see your competitive side! Of all piles, this is the only one where I see unplanned and on-the-spot trips and activities being arranged. If this feels outside of your comfort zone, you may feel called to choose a different pile, but it could also be that your future date will bring out this carefree and spontaneous character in you. Stay safe and have lots of fun, pile 3!

40Angst to fluff~ :you flinch during an argument ❤️‍🩹

Let's go with the girls. I think this would fit and be most affected by the flinch. Soo~ Arei nageishi, Maki harukawa, and Tenko chabashira with a Male S/O.

I was gonna choose either junko or Mukuro, but Tenko is more interesting since with a Male S/O, it's a genuine worry given how she gets with other guys. Also, I'm hoping that with the prompt, the M. S/O has a history of either being mistreated by an S/O or their family.

Arei, maki and tenko reacting to you flinching during an argument

Arei nageishi

Arguments with arei are unfortunate, pretty frequent, obviously she doesn't hate you, and wouldn't do things that purposefully make you angry but her personality is just the type that gets angry easily and can make even small disagreements escalate into arguments

However, despite how much she yells and gets angry at you during these arguments, one thing she will never do is raise her hands on you. Not only does she not actually mean most of the stuff she says when she's arguing but she also thinks that's just despicable, she may not be a good person but she's not a monster

So when she saw you flinch, she could not let that go. She refused to leave you alone until you told her everything that was going on, she was a bit aggressive but it was because she was genuinely concerned about you

Whenever you told her everything, she was a mix of emotions, mainly anger, both at your family but also a little bit at you because you didn't tell her earlier. Her own sisters did some very similar to her, so she felt she could relate to you, and you could help each other cope with the trauma, but now that she knows she's going to be there for you

"Are you an idiot? Do you seriously think I'd ever hurt you? I love you and I'm not like those assholes like our families, I actually care about you.....a lot. So don't ever think I'd do something like that OK?"

Maki harukawa

Ever since Maki revealed her true ultimate to you, you felt kinda intimidated by her, you knew she loved you and would never hurt you, it still felt kinda uncomfortable and scary living with someone who has killed people before and could kill you

So maki tried her best to make you feel safe around her, constantly saying she how much she cared about you and that she'd never do anything to harm you and most importantly never raise her voice in arguments, she didn't want to give you the impression she was more upset than she actually was

However, one time during a particularly nasty argument, she started to yell and to make matters worse, tried to touch you which caused you to flinch. When she saw you flinch her eyes widened and she forgot whatever reason why she was angry, she needed to hear the reason why you flinched

When you explained what happened to you, she was mortified. She immediately apologized for raising her voice and causing you to flinch, but even after you told her it wasn't her fault, the guilt still didn't disappear, she reassured you again that she was never going to hurt you and that she will help you heal from what happened, you were her precious boyfriend after all

"Listen y/n I know I may appear.....distant at times but just know that I love you and will never ever in my life do anything to hurt you, I would much rather die than harm you....so please just know that I will stay with you and help you with whatever happened, I'm here for you"

Tenko chabashira

You have seen how aggressive tenko can be with men, and you have also seen beat the absolute crap out them for some basic misunderstanding or because they "gave her a bad vibe" so it's no surprise that even if she tried to convince you she'd never do that to you and that you were different from other guys you still felt a bit scared of her

During arguments, tenko tends to be very loud. She's just very passionate about what she believes is right, and so she doesn't really like losing fights but will admit when she's wrong even if embarrassed. But when she saw you flinch her attitude completely.

She will never hit you, hitting the man she loves is not only the least honorable thing she could ever do, the thought itself makes her sick, you're one of the very few great guys in this world why would she ever consider hurting you?

She genuinely thought about beating up whatever men in your family hurt you. She loves you and absolutely hates the fact that someone else hurt someone as perfect as you, but now she's here for you and is never let anyone hurt you again

"I get it now, you though I was like your family, but you're wrong.....u-uh I mean I'd never hurt you like them, I bet most of them were degenerate males, they're nothing like you, you're sweet and kind and perfect and I will protect you from everyone and everything, if someone hurts you again just call me and I'll kick their ass"
