Hello!
Found you through my gorgeous friend @maylilithreign, who I adore enormously!
It's so lovely of you to open up your asks!
I just read your head canons about the bachelors. Our good doctor Harvey is my man.
I have a couple of asks.
Firstly, what are the bachelors favourite positions?
Secondly, the bachelors are in the mood for a little action. What are they going to do to seduce their significant other?
Thank you so much! <3
Bachelors Favorite Positions and Seduction Techniques
18+ 🌱 MDNI 🌱 NSFW
You 🤝 me
Loving Libby
Gonna try and mesh these together because I want it all in the same post lol okay here we go 😈 NSFW under the cut!
Tumblr media
Harvey-
💚 When Harvey’s in the mood, I imagine he doesn’t just ask outright
💚 He’s gotta feel out the vibe first. Make sure you’ve had a good day, that you’re not tired or otherwise turned off because he’s considerate like that
💚Kind of a doctorly approach you know? Your feelings > his needs
💚 Once he’s ascertained that you’re good, he’ll start with a little shoulder massage or a foot rub. Something to get his hands on you and make you feel good, but definitely not platonic sort of touches.
💚 Kisses your calf or your neck and asks if you want him. Lord help !!!!
💚 As for position? Well since he’s the horny one he gets to have his favorite :3
💚 Missonary king. He likes how versatile it is, and that it’s comfortable for you, and he gets eye contact.
💚 win win win. He stays winning in this position
💚 Loves to use the eye contact to his advantage. Mr Soft Dom
💚 :3
Elliott-
❤️ Elliott isn’t often desperate horny
❤️ He gets worked up a lot and is almost always dtf, but rarely is he climbing the walls
❤️ So when he is losing it…well
❤️ The MOMENT you get home he’s covering your body with his, pressing you to the door and licking into your mouth
❤️ Voices his need in the spaces where he’s supposed to breathe
❤️ As for his favorite position? It’s literally right there
❤️ Your back to the door or the floor of the entryway or the couch if you two can stumble in
❤️ So it’s whatever is beneficial to that. Your legs around his waist or you bent over the nearest surface, etc
❤️ Place over position
❤️ Passion passion passion
Alex-
🤎 The shyest of the lovers I think
🤎 He just wants to be nice and sweet and he doesn’t know exactly how to ask for sex or initiate unless the mood is right
🤎 He’d probably try to ignore the horny away, but that doesn’t work LOL
🤎 One kiss and he’s panting and rocking against you like the needy guy he is
🤎 You have to ask him if he’s horny, and he’ll give you a shy kinda grin, his cheeks red but his eyes excited because he’s gonna get to fuck lol
🤎 Cowgirl king. Save a horse, ride Alex (I should be put down)
🤎 Loves seeing you on top, but it only
takes a little before he wants to show off by fucking hard from underneath. Core strength icon
🤎 Either of you can set the pace this way, and he loves that
🤎 Hon ment for Missionary because I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again Alex is a ROMANTIC AT HEART!!!!!
Shane-
💙 Now Shane. I’m thinking he might show off a bit to try and seduce you
💙 Pick you up, throw you over his shoulder, something that puts those farm muscles to work 😍
💙 Tease! Tease! He’s teasing!
💙 Probably flirty/compliments too
💙 I totally see him once he’s comfortable in a relationship falling back on all his old high school gridball pickups
💙 I’m sorry I just think man’s got game once he sobers up
💙 So it’s easy to tell because he’s trying to Impress
💙 DOGGY!!!
💙 I know this isn’t a particularly fresh take, but he’s sooooo hitting it from the back. It’s just the truth
💙 Loves it because it’s so hot to him to watch your face buried in the covers as you slur out moans for him
💙 Probably switches a few times throughout though
💙 He loves to manhandle you what can I say
💙 Mating press hon ment
Sam-
🩷 He’s so easy and also horny all the fucking time
🩷 Dudes libido is off the charts first and foremost. So jot that down
🩷 So when he wants to fuck he typically will press his body all up against yours
🩷 Presses up on your back while you’re cooking, grabs your hips, pulls you into his lap
🩷 Big on physical touch, this guy
🩷 As for position? Hehe
🩷 His favorite is whatever you tell him to do. Doesn’t have any preference because oh man! He’s getting to hit! Sweet!
🩷 Does have an affection towards cowgirl because it’s the easiest position for someone else to dominate him in
🩷 Being so serious he’s suuuuuch a sub he wants to be controlled hardcore
🩷 So if his pleasure is completely contingent on what you give him? Well
🩷 😏
Sebastian-
🖤 Another shy boy !!
🖤 But also the most likely to out and out ask for what he wants
🖤 So a lot of the time he ends up just blurting it out
🖤 You’ll be watching TV together or something, reading, whatever
🖤 And out of nowehere he’ll ask if he can give you oral
🖤 King oral fixation wants his mouth on you now!!
🖤 And what are you supposed to do? Say no??
🖤 That’s his favorite, though I’m not sure it’s a sex position
🖤 Man just really loves giving head, okay?
🖤 If you’re in bed he’s probably jumping the covers, but he also might sneak a hand down there while he’s enjoying his meal because he is LOVING! IT!
🖤 Finishes in his boxers when you finish in his mouth, so it counts

Yarn Cat is a lot of fun! I'm on Forest 8 so far and enjoying as new mechanics get added.
With games like this I always wonder how people come up with the puzzles. How do you plan them out?
I'm glad you're having fun, and thank you for saying so, hearing that people are enjoying it makes all the anxiety and debugging worthwhile!
I think the most important thing for any part of game design is thoughtful analysis, of games you play and your own development prototypes. I think at its most boiled down, a videogame gives information to a player and asks them to respond, then telling them if they responded 'correctly' or not, and repeat. So whenever I'm playing any game, I ask what messages is the game giving, what do I think is being asked of me as a player, and how well does succeeding at the gameplay feel like it meshes with what was being asked of me? How well achieves that is a matter of opinion, but consciously amassing those opinions gives a developer a point of view for making decisions about their own games. Then you just have to be honest with yourself how that's going when you have a prototype...
I could go on a big tangent here about the huge success of portal and the ensuing ideology of puzzle design that I actively attempted to avoid when making yarn cat, but that's not really what you asked about lol, so
For the yarn cat puzzles, I usually tackled them from one of two directions. The first is having a specific solution in mind; having spent weeks getting the mechanics from nebulous idea to solid code and testing lots of edge cases, I knew there were a bunch of interesting ways to, for example, loop around fairies in non-obvious ways. So I would put the fairies into an empty level in a way that strongly encouraged the desired solution, and then build other elements around to make it more visually interesting and also a little obfuscated - it's not fun as a puzzle if you can see the exact solution as soon as you drop in, so I try to add elements that will make the player reconsider the actions and options available once they've tried the obvious thing.
Secondly, as the entirety of the game takes place on single screens with no scrolling, I also wanted the puzzles to be aesthetically pleasing. You might notice many levels have symmetrical or repeating sections, and for many puzzles this is where I'd start, making the outline of a pretty scene and then see what maneuverability options there are for the player once dropping puzzle elements in. I notice a lot of sokoban / tile grid puzzle games don't really pay any mind to the aesthetics of a level so long as the puzzle is devious, so I put extra focus here to make sure they looked nice as well as being a good puzzle.
Either way I approached it, there was a lot of iteration for every single level, testing and tweaking and redesigning, trying as many possibly solutions as possible so it's neither too simple or insanely complex, verifying it can be done extra bonus yellow heart style... really just iterating until it feels 'right' to my point of view on what a puzzle should be; and then sometimes having my tester come up with a completely different solution I hadn't even considered!
It's a pretty fun process, and honestly, I would love for more people to try their hand at making solve-a-puzzle puzzle games, because I am a huge fan of them and it's an under-served genre these days or speedrunning precision platformers and portal-esques.

hii so im a newer joellie ish shipper. (imma be fr im a joel self shipper that man is MINE) (kidding) (or am i)
anyway, i really have enjoyed the first two chapters of good intentions and literally everything else you’ve posted! you’ve got a real knack for writing. im glad i got past my previous anxieties about proshipping being an indicator of my own morality because otherwise i never would’ve found your writing, which is just delectable.
(this is getting long im sorry 💀)
i saw your post about the religious boarding school au and mmm m m m mmmmmm. okay so i went to one of those actually. (not a religious one, but a boarding school, and i grew up going to catholic school so consider the two meshed) and man the idea is already making me excited to see what you may whip up…
depending on the sort of religious trauma ellie would be imbued with/your vision, consider: joel, doing inspections of the dorms only to find ellies vibrator out (which she left out intentionally!!!). him being the kind little poser priest he is and letting her keep it on the condition she get off in front of him. . . Just thinking. you know. as one does.
First off, welcome aboard!!! 🫡 How silly is it that I have the opposite shipping problem? Every time I've attempted to read Joel/Reader or Joel/OC, I just can't. That is 100% Ellie's man to me, she owns his fine ass and she will fight you for him. (And win, sorry not sorry)
Secondly, I wish I could give you a hug because, believe it or not, I too struggled with tying pro-shipping to my own morality. I'd never had an issue with reading darker themes/DDDE or other people writing it, but at first the idea of writing it myself made me oddly anxious(more so than usual, which trust me is A LOT). In fact, I only started writing Joellie to "get the bad thoughts out". Lol I am sooo glad I got the fuck over it and now relish in rolling around in the sin bin and writing character-driven underage filth to my heart's content. 😌❤️
Thirdly, HOW DARE YOU PUT SUCH AN AMAZING SCENE IN MY HEAD!!! Kidding, kidding. My brain has been spinning out with ideas for the Catholic school au, and I already have a title in mind and the first chapter mapped out in my head, and this suggestion is just adding fuel to the out of control fire. If only I had the time right now to ACTUALLY write it 😪 Don't worry, I'll get there eventually...I just need to ruminate on a story for an unreasonable amount of time before writing it and even MORE time building myself up to posting it. But rest assured that when I do and this scene makes it in, I'll be dedicating the idea to you, brilliant anon 🖤🖤🖤
(also thank you for all the kind words about my writing, you're too sweet and I'm trying to get better at accepting compliments)

Hi im the one who asked about cc requests sorry i kinda disappeared i had to cosplay as an adult and go to work, anyway first of all thank you for considering requests! Secondly i was thinking of an extension to the preserved skeletal hands in the lich set and make a version for the lower jaw- midriff aka lower spine - calves and foot? Im not sure how doable any of these are so i put down all the suggestions i have maybe one works if you are interested in making them at all! I'd be so happy if the lower jaw one worked omg! Thank youuu!
Hey, no worries so did I lol.
All of your ideas are good, I understand it's an exciting concept but let's take a moment to understand how it works:
Something like this can ONLY be achieved by replacing the entire top, bottom or full body mesh of your sim. Which means it has to be either a top, pants or whole outfit. It replaces the entire body part that you see being transparent with the skeleton inside it. It's not possible to hide body parts without a mesh replacement.
If I were to make it for the legs, your sim wouldn't be able to wear pants or shoes at all. With a top like the lich top, it's manageable cuz you have accessory tops to pair it with. But with pants you can't really do that. It can't be done for the face either, as far as I know. Though I admit that'd be really cool.
The only one that's doable & functional is the midriff one you mentioned, which I've thought of as well but for the ribcage maybe with a heart floating inside it or something like that. Though tbh I don't know how well it would work with the jungle adventure skeleton mesh I used, the ribs are solid without gaps so not too sure.
Anyway! I do love your ideas, but it's very limited unfortunately

Hey! I saw your hs post regarding Muir’s writing. I’ve never read hs but I’ve been interested for a while and I don’t know how to find it or start or where. Would you be able to help?
great question!
Homestuck is a multimedia webcomic, originally available on www.mspaintadventures.com -- now simply known as www.Homestuck.com -- however, it made ample use of shockwave Flash which has been basically retired since 2020 -- to experience Homestuck as close to how it was intended as possible, the preferred & author recommended solution is downloading a digital copy of the Unofficial Homestuck Collection. to use this you'll need a computer/laptop and around 5gb of free space (USB stick is fine too!)
Secondly, here's a fair warning for you: Homestuck can be pretty hard for those who are photosensitive or experience issues with high contrast colors/imagery etc. Also, whilst cartoonish, silly & mundane at first, it eventually features a number of unsettling scenes & unsavory jokes, so content warning for occasionally bigoted humor/language, and eventual blood/gore/violence/substance abuse/more of other similar stuff you'd expect to read in a darker story for adults like Homestuck :)
Thirdly: It might be hard to mesh with some of the jokes or wordbuilding at first, it really throws you right in and expects you to understand all these new mechanics & just understand the differences between the world of Homestuck & our own innately -- but don't panic, everything will fit into place. take light notes if you feel inclined to, and focus especially on the character interactions; the conversations between friends on the internet. this is the real blood of the story.
Fourthly: Good luck!!!!!!!! You've passed every test by earnestly reaching it this far on curiosity alone!!! That means you are uniquely positioned to be ready to read & understand this story comparatively to most new audience members. I believe in you >:3

Day Eight (Part 2) Continuing the State Machine, Animations and other miscellaneous tasks
First of all, I moved the sprite of the Danger Zone back by a small amount, so now the player character appears infront of it.
Tumblr media
Secondly, I have managed to make it so all movement is disabled upon death. Whether this is the best, or if I should just disable all inputs instead is still up for debate. I think disabling movement is better though as, if you die midair above a gap, you'll just fall down while dying.
In other news, I have added animations to all of my world objects so now they are all completed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
However, while adding animations to my items, I did end up accidentally making the hitbox for the win condition a good seven times larger than it was meant to be.
Tumblr media
Though all it took was one small change in the scale, and it was fixed.
Tumblr media
In truth, although I say all of my world objects are completed, I have completely missed out on the bounce pad to the point that I haven't even made a sprite for it yet, and it is still using a basic mesh I made on day one. Though if I did give it a proper sprite, it probably wouldn't need to be animated besides maybe an arrow pointing down that could bounce up and down by a pixel or so.
Additionally, I have added a health counter! It's nothing big, but it's there.
Tumblr media
The red being the HP and the blue being the Score.
Also, FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY, I have fixed the issue with the score not resetting upon death. In actuality, I simply forgot to add a few things to the Event Graph, but now it works properly.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm so glad I finally got this sorted. Of course, after this, I checked if the HP count reset properly as well, and it does.
Once I sorted these out, I made it more clear what you were looking at.
Tumblr media
And this is all it is.
Tumblr media
I had to make the strings print after the actual integers, otherwise they would be showing up below the numbers, and it wouldn't look as good.
I am noticing one small issue though. The triangle Danger Zone's collision box is defined by a square. Obviously, this means there's quite a bit of room in which you will clearly not touch anything, yet still take damage.
While I figure that out, in other news, I tweaked the walking animation slightly. There were two frames in which the player character was completely still rather than the one at the start. I removed the end frame in order to make the movement seem faster, and it has certainly helped.
The Danger Zone has now been fixed, with there being two boxes making up its collision now, rather than just one.
Tumblr media
While I realise that there is a tiny gap in collision between the top and bottom box, the player's collision is too large to fit through that tiny gap. Additionally, I have checked, and if one box has dealt damage, the other box won't unless the player has fully left both collision areas and re-enters by triggering the other box instead.
This is how my map plays at the minute.
I understand that it is very boring, and some sections are quite long with other parts needing to be tweaked, but I am happy with it for now.
I'm thinking maybe I shorten the first level, and make the level in the video a Level 2 or something.
About 20 minutes later and I have now shrunk the first level partially, mostly to stop it from getting boring.
Tumblr media
And I have now edited it even more. In order to make the right half of the map less monotanous to go through each time, there is a hidden shortcut underneath one of the gaps.
Tumblr media
I should mention, as of right now, there is a bounce pad that you may notice is placed right at the start of the map which immediately takes you to level 2. This is for testing purposes only and won't be part of the proper release.
If not, level 1 would be very short and you would only get 1 point before level 2. (It is impossible to get the coin at the bottom of the screenshot and the bounce pad into level 2 within the same run.)
Tumblr media
Anyways, the final thing I did today was coloring some portions of the map so it doesn't always look the same.
There's no real indication as to what colors mean what, I just chunked them into sections so that level 1 isn't identical most of the time.

I don't get "just stay in a hotel instead" kind of people.
Either the senders or the goers.
You don't want me and my family to hang out with you and your family as much as possible in these few short days we'll have together?
First of all, Why don't you like us?!
we are lovely, fun, quirky, good cooks with a spotless house.
Secondly hospitality is enriching. Sometimes it's kind of a grind. But it's worth it. For a day or two at least. It enriches the visit a hundredfold. And does far more to deepen relationships and create new ones with shared presence, little stories in common, and talking nonsense and deep shit far more easily than online.
Sometimes you'll argue and fight too. But you'll have time to make up. While you talk about the kids and the weather and whatever while you play games, get expert local tours with your loved ones, and just spend hours hanging out on your phones like the kids do.
But we don't want to be a burden...
You're not. Get in here.
Ok, get in here, but let's be realistic. We might not hit things off real well. If we have major feelings of frustration from tight quarters, lack of privacy, interpersonal interactions, etc, we can reevaluate. Some guests are more like fish than others (often no fault on anyone. Just some people don't mesh well.)
So come and expect us to pick you up from the airport, bring you home, & have hot food coming up while we help you get settled into your bed bug-free bedroom. I want you to stay here and just try to get along for 2 or 3 nights before we start talking about hotels.
After a day or two we can both decide whether or not we should keep our money and our time together or get more space.
Sometimes the space is needed to save the relationship. There are some families that just don't mesh. Good families. They function well enough in their own little ecosystem. But when they mix with our ecosystem, there is just too much frustration.
Sometimes you also just want the space for the privacy, personal space, and time away from each other. And sometimes a few family members will sleep over to hang out and talk at length, maybe sleepover.
We love you and my family are tough. Show us what you got.
Don't worry about the kids. We don't care bout cussing or kids just being kids. Let them play, just respect the surroundings and my shit. You got only the barest of obligations with me beyond be civil and keep the kids from breaking shit or hurting anybody. Let them be themselves. Just encourage them to be their better selves while you protect my shit and my people from your people. That's my whole expectation. I even do the dishes while you chat with Rebeca.
Because you need a sit down talk with Mom. And unload your trauma on us. Over Michelin Star food served on a sturdy simple wooden table. While your children have the time of their lives as they play with (whether they want to or not) and/or be traumatized by our dark star daughter while joking around with my absurdly wise son.
And I need to reconnect with my friend.
It's mostly so me and my friend can connect. It out usually turns out delightful for everyone else. Usually everyone else gets along swimmingly, but even if we don't, we make the best of it because getting to know each other is important we need networks of support. And these little clusters of networks are all we got in Capitalism.
So you are default expected to stay with us if you are visiting our area. If you know us, you have a home here.

Random astro observations 🌸 #15
I'm not a professional astrologer so please don't take this personally
Tumblr media
Capricorn Mercuries are always prepaired for EVERYTHING. Every. Single. Thing. They have plan B for plan A and plan C for plan B. Why? Because of their unconditional sense of responsibility and reliability.
The position of the Sun can be interpreted based on it's position in the different hemispheres of the chart. Keep in mind this is very brief and general explanation.
~ Sun in the left hemisphere (around the Ascendant) is considered to be really beneficial for leader position in life. Also the person can be self-centered or even egoistic if more planets are present on the left side of the chart. The lesson here is to learn to be more open to people and the environment.
~ Sun in the bottom hemisphere (around Imum coeli) indicates later succes in life or accomplishing the higher manifestation of the soul after the 40th birthday. When talking about a woman with Sun in this position it's very likely that she'll be forced to wait for succes and form a family and home on her own first. People with shadowed Sun (Sun in the bottom of the chart) have a high chance of developing extrasensory perception in some part of their life whether they like it or not. When I say shadowed Sun I mean the fact that when a planet is positioned in the bottom of the chart, it gets "in the dark" and it's kept there until the second part of life.
~ Sun in the right hemisphere (around the Descendant) belongs to the selfless individuals. They depend on their surroundings more compared to others. This can be double-edged sword, because they will have a lot of friends and social contacts, but they also may get tired from absorbing all this energy and lose themselves in the social environment. These people are also the people helpers, they'll never reject providing help to others, but they need to learn how to help themselves first.
~ Sun in the top hemisphere (around Medium coeli) is favorable placement, because it's double the brightess for the Sun (The Sun shines bright and the top of the chart makes it shine even brighter). People with this Sun will get successful early in life with the help of good aspects, but overall my experience tells me that most of the times Sun on the top will devop earlier and faster even without any major aspects or conjunctions. Now, there's a situation where the opposite effect may occur, namely the inert Sun. I've seen it two times in the chart of older people, who haven't accomplished anything major in life and just lived day-to-day without big ambition and energy, which is typical for this position. The explanation for this, in my opinion, is harshly aspected Sun or the "extreme brightness effect", because nothing too much of something is good. Double the power of something may be self-destructive.
As you may know, Mars got into the sign of Scorpio around the end of October and the beginning of November (I can't remember the exact date). So the effect of Mars on my body and health was definitely present. Firstly, you may get horny more often than normal (I know it sounds cliché but it's true) and secondly, inflammation processes may start to happen, especially in the reproductive system and the lungs, so be aware. Also something weird, but I need to share it with you guys, avoid getting mad during this transit (although it's natural to experience angry bursts during Mars in Scorpio), because it'll be more emotional than normal and you may start to "angry cry" during arguments.
With Venus Saturn aspects, there's almost 100% chance that the person will struggle to find a partner because of the unimaginable criteria, standards or expectations they may have for others. Another important thing about the aspects is that there needs to be a line between love life and monetary needs, because people tend to mesh these two things together. For men this means that they expect women to be attracted to their money, so they start to think they need to make a lot of money and only then women will like them. Women on the other hand tend to search for partners who can provide financially and that's their number one priority. In both cases the lesson is that finances should not be the most prominent factor in the romantic relationship.

What is it about Silver that you like?
Various reasons!🍀
Starting with the very first thing I saw about him, I think his design is very neat. He manages to mesh in well with the rest of the cast, while still having something futuristic and different on his person that makes him stand out between them too. Plus, I really like how there is an external showcase of the fact he's got powers, namely through the cyan lines on his gloves. I don't know, I just think it looks cool!
Secondly, psychic powers! I love psychic powers (I think also in a way because of Silver), and I’m very fond of just how skilled Silver is with his. He’s a powerhouse through and through, and I furthermore like how the reason he is not a villain with them is purely because of his heart of gold. He solely uses his abilities for (what he considers) good, never for selfish reasons, which I find very inspiring.
And that brings me to Silver's personality: in my opinion, it is something a bit different from the other heroes in the Sonic franchise. Silver is incredibly powerful, headstrong, driven and loves fighting, which matches some of his friends like Knuckles and even Sonic himself. However, it is counteracted by the fact Silver can be naive, self-sacrificial to a fault, and, importantly, have moments of self-doubt and uncertainty about how to best continue. Furthermore, he can reflect on these and draw decisions from them. For me, it is a refreshing angle that makes him just somewhat different from the others! It nicely showcases that he's got a tendency to put everything solely on his own shoulders without fully knowing what he is getting himself into, but also that doing so is not a good idea. The Sonic franchise is strongly focused on the power of friendship, and for me that comes into play for Silver as well, for example with Espio in Sonic Rivals 2. Silver can take his desire to do good too far, basically, but he's gained a network of friends around him to help bear the burden. And what I furthermore like is how incredibly dedicated and hopeful Silver is regarding his goals. I think many people would have fallen into hopelessness sooner or later when living in a situation like him, but despite that he keeps going every time and never gives up. And on top of that, I just like how he can be dead-set on a goal but immediately move over to a different goal the moment he is presented with that; to me, it shows that he cannot leave anyone in need to fend for himself. Lastly, even though he is naive, he is far from dumb. In Rivals he correctly deduces Eggman Nega would never let his camera out of his sight, and thus 'Eggman' might not be who he seems, for example. I think such perceptiveness is a good balance for his more naive and self-sacrificial tendencies.
Overall, all the above makes him a very inspiring and interesting character to me, and that is why I like him so much! <3

My condolences to all sumireko fans for what I’m about to say
Day 1: Sumireko Usami
This is the only character I actively dislike in all of touhou. The first issue with sumireko is her personality. I get the fact that she’s supposed to be a cringy teen, but she honestly is way too overdone in that aspect. It could have been something we could have related to easily, where she’s kinda like how you were as a teen, but instead it feels very forced and not very natural as a character. She basically feels like if you took an anime phase teen and cranked it up to 11, instead of a more normal teen with a healthy amount of eclectic nerdiness, which I think could work better and accomplish what I think would make her more tolerable.
Secondly, her specific character interactions feel very fake. First things first, most of the characters she interacted with are the incident resolvers, yukari, and mokou. Each of these interactions besides yukari boil down to the gensokyo native treating sumireko as a basic friend, and nothing much deeper. Like, there’s no hesitancy to a human from the outside world essentially invading gensokyo, even though it’s treated as serious in every other case. Sumireko feels like a weird self insert, getting along with anybody she really meets and not having any clashes despite the entire nature of her character being a dangerous thing to gensokyo. I do like her bits with yukari though as yukari actually does treat her with caution, which is how mainly reimu should have responded to her presence.
Finally, some things I like about her. Sumireko has an excellent design, and honestly fits her type of character really well despite my dislike towards her type of character. She also has a good theme.
Overall, sumireko ends up feeling like a self insert fantasy character to me, not really meshing at all with other characters naturally and honestly holding herself back with how her character is. I feels as though she missed the mark of what a character of her nature could have been, which would be someone regarded with heavy caution to those higher up, but treated like a human to anyone not, which is why her interactions with mokou are probably second best because they make more sense character wise. I wish I could find a way to like her, but she just has so many flaws that I can’t find myself really saying much positive about her.

He’s just very busy, and public appearances are important to keep up, so one of the ways he keeps up with you happens to be exactly what you have trouble accepting. Large bouquets sent to the House of Lamentation when you’re there, a word sent out to any of his staff out where you may be to make your life easier however possible (Mammon tries to tag along with you all the time, hoping to hear the magic words: “His highness has graciously waived the fee for all exchange students’ purchases today!”) - and he’s not even there to see the way your smile looks a little more like a grimace, or the way you stare uncomfortably at the little gift.
He seems to love that you are so willing to try and help him out - even if there isn’t much you can do, since he handles a lot of sensitive documents and information. But, considering he’s so lonely, when it comes to reciprocating he sort of follows your lead?
He knows, on a surface level, how to be in a relationship, but considering you’re a human AND he doesn’t have a lot of interpersonal relationships for practice...he sort of follows your lead, and hopes your way of giving love is the same as your way of receiving.
You’ll have to bring it up to him, which is a nerve-wracking experience on its own, eased only by the fact that you know Diavolo has done his best to make sure you KNOW you can bring up any issues you have. He is very good at opening his ears to you and helping you problem solve, and when dealing with the things he cares about (yes, YOU) he is very direct about problem solving.
The moment you stand before him, Diavolo notices the way you fidget with your hands and almost refuse to look at him directly. He immediately stops what he’s doing, putting everything down and turning in his seat. If he’s at his desk, he gestures for you to come to his side and asks you directly - “What’s wrong?”
It seems terrible to directly accuse the prince of wanting to manipulate you, so instead you ask, “What did you want in exchange for those gifts?” And for a moment, he does not know what you are talking about. First of all, WHICH gifts, there’s so many, and secondly did he come across as wanting something in return other than your happiness?
No matter what he was doing before, he will set aside all of the time he needs to at least start to communicate to you that he has no ulterior motives with his gifts to you. If you’d like him to stop with such blatant displays of affection, he will, but it’s more important to him that you know he is only trying to communicate how he feels when he cannot do it directly.
Tumblr media
Barbatos
This is a relationship where you might have to bring it up before you even start dating. Either that or he WILL get a hint before then. He’s a butler! Not only is he normally serving other people, he is a master at standing in the back and watching people. He notices the way you awkwardly hold your tea cup after he gives it to you, or decline anything that he offers you when given the chance. It just comes up by nature of who he is.
Before he is interested in pursuing a relationship, he simply brushes it off as the unfamiliarity of having someone wait on you. Perhaps you’re particularly independent, or you just never really are in a situation where someone waits on you like he does. Either way, it isn’t really much of his business.
But...it is very obvious in a relationship. He just...defaults to helping others. Sure, he knows how to separate work and his personal life (though, to be fair, there is not much of a “personal life” there with how much time work takes up, so maybe that needs to be revisited. some day...) but even with that separation he enjoys providing solutions for people and helping out. It brings him joy to help make your life a little easier if he can help, and it’s something he’s good at.
Still, he doesn’t want to make you uncomfortable, and he definitely doesn’t want to make you think that he’s treating you the way he treats people as a job. If he wanted to, he could most likely peer into different timelines or even into your past, try to figure out what’s bothering you...but he knows better than to creep into places you haven’t explicitly told him you want him. Besides, communication is important, and this seems a prime opportunity to put that to use.
So he asks you one day when you visit him at the castle, after he notices your hesitation to respond to him when he offers to help you with something you were complaining about. “Why does it make you uncomfortable when I offer my assistance to you?”
You freeze for a moment. “Wouldn’t you be able to find that out on your own?” “Would you like me to?” “...no, not really.”
He isn’t one to press you for information, or to ask a thousand times if you know he’d never use any of his attempts to make your life in the Devildom easier against you. Barbatos will listen to what you have to say intently and do his best to mesh to what you think you’re most comfortable with. He does intend to help you accept help as much as he can, but it’ll be so subtle you’ll hardly even notice. With the little amount of time he already gets with you, he’s already practiced in making the most of it - what’s one more little task to the greatest butler in all the realms?
Tumblr media
Solomon
See, this is a relationship that doesn’t necessarily depend on the whole “acts of kindness” thing. (Like, it does to the same degree any relationship does, but considering I think you’d both be pretty independent people and the helping each other aspect normally comes from things you’re doing together anyway. If that makes sense.)
Still, he does notice how...surprised you look when he surprises you with a flashy spell he learned, or when he hears you complaining about your course load or Lucifer’s expectations for you. You decline every single offer he gives you to help, and you never look as happy as he hopes you will when he shows you his spells. (Depending on what stage you are at in the relationship, how is he supposed to impress you if you never want him to do things for you !!!)
However, he is accustomed to holding information close to his chest, and he isn’t always the best at asking about people’s emotions. So, even though sometimes you jump at the opportunity to help him collect ingredients for potions or find one book in massive libraries or craft things for enchantments and spells but you REFUSE to let him help you study for a class he could pass without even listening to one of the lectures, he silently suffers and hopes you’ll breach the subject on your own.
Which you do. Kinda. He’s trying to convince you to let him help you with paying back the debts of one of Mammon’s schemes he dragged you into - figuring two bodies on the job will get it done faster and, in turn, he can have more time with you later - but he makes the mistake of rationalizing it with, “Well, since you help me out so much, maybe I could-”
“Don’t! Don’t...say that. We don’t owe each other anything.” You give him a tight smile that’s OBVIOUSLY fake. “I help you because I want to.”
“And I want to help you. Why won’t you let me? What’s up?”
The conversation is...uncomfortable. Solomon isn’t the best at handling vulnerability. But he doesn’t judge you for a second, and he gets the fear that you have in the back of your mind. Especially since people keep telling you not to trust him and that he’s shady...this relationship is pretty dependent on a thorough trust between the two of you. But he doesn’t mind proving himself a little more, so long as you’ll be gracious enough to give him a chance.
Tumblr media
Simeon
Simeon is really good at vibing out somebody’s boundaries and comforts. Call it angelic intuition, but he also has a feeling about you that makes a little too much sense when he notices how you shy away from any offers of assistance.
A little thinking, and suddenly the way you stretch yourself thing to help the brothers at any moment makes a lot of sense too. (And, of course, he is pleased to know everyone considers everyone to be family. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t two main causes!)
Angels naturally want to ease the strife of the humans they come across, and even though Simeon knows that it might make you uncomfortable, he finds himself unknowingly putting you in awkward positions with how often he reaches out to make your life easier.
Bringing you homework that you missed, being your escort when the brothers are busy, buying you lunch just because - he’s a bit of a sweetheart and it’s in his blood to do these things, and he only remembers how it hurts you when you uncomfortably shift before taking the only option he’s given you - accept what you don’t want.
He sits you down one day, letting you know it’s bound to be a healing conversation between the two of you. Fortunately, he has a knack for making you feel comfortable and safe, so he has a slightly easier time getting you to pen up to him.
The moment you even hint at him having ulterior motives, you feel stupid. Even when he assures you that it’s alright, saying it out in the open feels...wrong. That doesn’t shake the feeling or ease your fears, but it does make addressing things a bit easier.
Simeon has no problem helping to draft a plan for re-affirming your trust in genuine love and kindness. He also inserts himself directly into the plans - what, you thought he wouldn’t? Simeon will remind you what it feels like to be cared for with no expectation of return. don’t get him wrong though, he’ll take a lil kiss or something if u want...
Tumblr media
Luke
You can’t say no to him. Unfortunately, he bakes a LOT and he is all too eager to be your personal guard dog guardian angel.
When you do decide to let him know why you look so uncomfortable when he tries to do something for you (giving him an abridged version, of course) - and he, in all his energy, does not seem to get the hint to STOP ASKING - you can see him literally just chill out. One minute he’s vibrating with pure energy and the next he’s just. Still.
He half wants to get indignant on you, but he knows that’s not a good response. Instead he just sort of stands there, watching you for a minute, until he blurts out with zero grace - “What would I even have to do that for??”
He realizes it’s a terrible response the moment it comes out of his mouth, but you seem to be okay with it if your awkward chuckle is anything to go with. Luke starts pouting just a little bit, more upset with himself that he’s completely failing at handling this situation. “I’m just nice to you because you’re nice and you deserve it. There’s nothing else to it.”
He’s a sweet boy, and he doesn’t wanna lose his favorite taste-tester. He’s got the spirit.

Hey! can i order headcanons for Gentaro, Jyushi and Hifumi going to the cinema to see a scary movie with their S/Oc please? Have a good night, love your blog <3
(sorry for any error, i'm using google translator)
Ah man, I can not for the life of me watch a scary movie. They terrify me too much haha. But this was very cute to write! Thank you sm for the request anon, and I hope you enjoy 💕 (and dw, there weren't any errors!)
𝗚𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗼, 𝗛𝗶𝗳𝘂𝗺𝗶, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗝𝘆𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘀/𝗼
Tumblr media
-pairings: gentaro yumeno x gn!reader, hifumi izanami x gn!reader, jyushi aimono x gn!reader
-genre: fluff
Tumblr media
Gentaro
he wasn’t one to really be frightened by a horror movie as it was nothing more than a story to him, so he found a much deeper appreciation for the storytelling
if a horror movie managed to give him chills or goosebumps (which wasn’t often as of late), then gentaro considered it a success. it must’ve been a rather good watch if he wasn’t able to predict what would happen next or if it managed to catch him off-guard
he adored a good and rather chilling horror movie as much as the next person; unfortunately, however, gentaro found the majority of the more recent horror movies to be nothing but, well, terrible, so it wasn’t his favorite genre
the cheap jump scares or ominous music had no effect on him, and the shallow plot and terrible writing was borderline offensive in his mind. gentaro, more than anyone else, loved a fantastical story with a good plot and stellar writing, and the more recent horror movies were far from that
so when you suggest that the two of you go to the theaters in order to watch the latest horror movie that caught your eye, gentaro is a bit hesitant at first and isn’t expecting much from it
but seeing how you looked quite excited at the prospect of seeing a movie together with him, gentaro agreed to it. this should, at the very least, be fun considering that you’d be with him
when the movie starts, gentaro is watching with an uninterested gaze, already able to tell where this would go, if it was a cliché one or not. and if it was the former, well, he practically zoned out during the movie or tried to rewrite the scenes to make it more interesting
(gentaro never could focus on anything for too long if it wasn’t something he liked)
if you easily got scared by horror movies or if this movie in particular was making you quite frightened, gentaro would catch on to that and discreetly hold your hand in attempt to comfort you throughout, perhaps even throw a funny comment here and there about the terrible quality of it in hopes that’d help (and it lowkey did)
after the movie, you’d be talking about what you thought of the movie, saying how the jump scares took you by surprise and how it took forever to calm your racing heart. when you turn and ask gentaro for his input, he simply shrugs and says that it definitely could’ve better
i feel like he could go off on a whole tangent on how the writing was a bit bland, the characters too two-dimensional, how the horror aspect was clearly lacking. honestly, you’re impressed that he could pick up on all that, though you couldn’t help but tell yourself that it was to be expected
gentaro hated nothing more than a bad story, especially one where it was clear there was absolutely no effort put into it; and as an author himself, it felt somewhat of a personal attack
he never really did talk much, so you’d be surprised if he does start to criticize each aspect of it. though if you were left feeling slightly shaken up by the movie, then it’d help ease you up really. it was sort of a reminder that it wasn’t real
even then, if you had trouble sleeping later that night, gentaro would have no problem reassuring you that he was there and perhaps even tell a story or two of his own
Hifumi
i like to think that he isn’t one that gets scared by horror movies at first glance, instead finding them to be sorta exciting. the jump scares, however cheap, were always thrilling and got his heart racing, in a good way he liked to think
but as night falls, hifumi surely gets a tiny bit frightened as he recalled the events of the movie from a few hours ago. all of a sudden, his slightly open bedroom door and the stillness of the night was just too eerie
still though, horror movies were a guilty pleasure for him, even if they did terrify him a bit afterwards. they were simply too much fun. so when you brought up the idea of going to see a horror movie, hifumi jumped at the prospect of it
he was rather excited, more so at the fact that you guys were going out on a date, and hifumi even suggests the two of you watch it at night in order to heighten the atmosphere and leave more of an impact (a suggestion he may come soon to regret)
hifumi is, well, rather emotive; so throughout the movie, if there was anything that took him by surprise, you could easily tell from the way he slightly jumped or the small, quiet yelps of his that he couldn’t hold back
even then, however, it doesn’t seem to faze him all that much; rather, he seems a bit excited? as if the racing feeling of his heart was way too thrilling
for some reason, i could see hifumi being the type to comment on things during the movie as well, such as mentioning how that particular jump scare took him by surprise or how this scene was giving him goosebumps
it’s not that he’s talkative, but instead, he simply liked to point things out to you
if at any point you were ever starting to feel terrified during the movie, he’d be able to tell and hold your hand for reassurance, maybe even ask with a worried glance whether you wanted to step out or not. hifumi understood that horror movies weren’t for everyone and could make some feel uncomfortable (he’s literally the sweetest, i live by that)
you’d have to reassure him many times that you were fine
regardless of whether or not the movie was bad, hifumi would enjoy it either way. for one, having the experience of watching it on the big screen with you was really what made it special. secondly, it was fun either way
as you guys walk out of the theater, hifumi is talking on and on about the movie and how scary it was, even if it wasn’t that frightening. as aforementioned, he’s quite emotive, so hifumi basically describes how he was feeling throughout the entirety of the movie
and if you admit that you also felt somewhat scared from it, he’d totally agree but then go on to tell you how none of it was real either way, so it was more exciting than anything
despite that, you may find him to be somewhat more antsy at the tiniest noises or find him holding you just a bit tighter when you guys go to bed later that night
Jyushi
needless to say, he and horror movies did not mesh well together, if, at all. just the concept or synopsis of said movies were enough to send a chill down his spine as jyushi couldn’t help but imagine the endless gruesome scenarios that could take place
and at night, well, jyushi could barely sleep without some sort of comfort such as amanda or you since the only thing on his mind was the movie and a multitude intrusive thoughts, not able to help but imagine what’d happen if he or you was ever thrust upon such a scenario (no matter how unrealistic it was)
so jyushi is veryyy reluctant at first to accept your offer to go watch a horror movie at the cinema, especially if it was playing at night. he could barely get through them in the midst of the day; how’d he even fare at night when he could barely see a thing?
but when he saw just how excited you seemed to be about it, especially since you were going to see the long awaited horror movie with your boyfriend, jyushi sorta gave in
besides, he told himself over and over again that it was simply another obstacle for him to grow stronger, a part of his training in a way. it did help ease him somewhat
still though, when you guys finally do go to the cinema, jyushi makes sure that he has amanda with him as well, knowing that he’d need it by the end
when the movie starts, jyushi is pretty much trembling slightly, terrified at what could happen, so you’d have to hold his hand and give him a reassuring smile, telling him that if it was too much, then you guys could leave
this does comfort him, however, and jyushi decides to tough it out and watch it through (honestly, even if you were scared by the movie, jyushi was more so than you)
all throughout the movie, jyushi does have a hard time directly staring at the screen, always shielding his eyes with his hands or closing them each time there was a jump scare of sorts
he was also quite emotive, so each time jyushi saw something frightening, he’d let out a small yelp of sorts, maybe even jump a bit if it really did take him by surprise. it was just a bit too much for him
holds your hand through it all, for good measure, and has amanda close by at all times
at the end of the movie, when you guys walk out of the theater, jyushi is more than thrilled that it’s finally over with, though he did have to admit that it was somewhat fun
when you ask him what he thought about it, despite the fact that jyushi’s emotions are as clear as day given how pale he looked, he’d break out into his v-kei persona and try to put up a front and say that it wasn’t scary in the slightest, if only to impress you, and save for his trembling voice
of course, you can easily see through it, though you may decide to let him have it and tease him by saying how brave he was, much braver than you who got frightened by it (and he certainly grows flustered by this)
afterwards, as the two of you are going to bed, jyushi cuddles you immensely, holding you close and tight given how the movie left him quite shaken up. he may even leave the hallway light on as to provide ample light to ward off the darkness a bit
you might even stroke his hair or give him a little forehead kiss to help calm him, which certainly does do its job. honestly, being wrapped up in each other’s embrace did help ease both of your fears

Okay but vamp!harry x reader where the reader goes for a late night walk alone because she’s feeling anxious (Harry tries to insist on coming with but she says no) but soon he can sense somethings wrong and goes to look for her and finds her in a dangerous situation! I need protective vampire Harry 🥺
Disclaimer: Reader with ADHD, Vampire!H x fem!reader, cock warming.
Harry's been doing humanly things. Moreso trying for his little human whom he doesn't want to dissapoint when she's making ećlairs or pop tarts for him and all he knows is to eat them despite of being a helping hand. His fingers are magical —--- they relax her in the most livid way while he's feeding from her. Honestly, it's all she wants. Her making sweets for him and him pleasuring her in the most bizarre way.
But. Sometimes she get's emotionally exhausted that the physical activities looks like breaking a mountain for her and all she does is snuggle under the snoozy layers of her childhood blankets cuddling her cat to calm her down.
Now her tranquility is Harry.
It's one of those days. She's been feeling like a failure. An utter dimwit for not getting what's happening in her sociology class, why her neighbours are always grumpy with her and why she isn't able to study anything. It's depressing her.
Harry never left her side. She's like a honey gooed all over him not even letting him bring the pizzas he ordered for them, "Don't!" She squeaks in a weak voice catching his wrists and he sits back cupping the nape of her neck looking straight in her eyes to assure her with his whole existence, "'ey baby . . my sweet girl 'm not goin' anywhere. Delivery boy's been waiting outside -- just a mo', yeah?" He sponges a gentle kiss at her temple stroking her cheek to calm her down.
They've rented a VR receiver and alot of silver movies watching them while eating pizza. She giggles and Harry smiles goofily when he had to hit the receiver twice to make it work, "c'mon you should know how all of this work old man." He strides towards her pulling her up with armpits into his embrace and tickling hard.
"Old man huh!? Ol' ma —" He pretends to eat her whole and she squeals between her laughs, "'m sorry you're my man!" Huffs smugly giving her a breather and pecks her not twice but thrice. If he could kiss her all day. He would. She's his human. It surprises him sometimes when he's alone with his thoughts. He loves her to fucking bits and pieces.
When she's like this everyone and everything feels outta her reach. As if they're miles away from her and she's standing in barren cold. In the amidst of sappy movie she shrinks closer to him stuffing her face into his ribs wounding her leg around his abdomen and he makes her feel warm wrapping his arms around her to push her up on his thigh. Snapping his gaze down at her when the lil sniffs of her reached his ears, "What's wrong kitten . . . hurts to see ya like this baby. Love you so much." He never fails to promise that he loves her to core.
"'M jus . . . thinking tha –-- that when I'll die you'll be still here 'n . . . 'n y'would get so lonely." She hiccups without a break, "Dunno. Can't stop crying 'm sorry." She gives out an ugly sob into his chest. It's breaking his already feeble heart. God he could scream the affection to the moon he have for this girl. In such a tragic moment all she is thinking is about him.
He cups squishes both her cheeks with his calloused palms telling her to breath with slow gestures then when she's way better speaks in his softest voice, "My baby listen to me hmm? We're never thinking of future don't wan'ye to wreck ye'r beautiful brain for stupid deaths --- secondly too bad miss Y/N 'm gonna cling to ye like leech of your nightmares." He wipes her tears away ever so caringly and gives her eskimo kisses while she giggles snorting at the end when Harry brought his big goldfish orbs in the middle to make her laugh.
"'M glad to have you." She whispers smudging her wet lips softly against his's into a heart melting blood warming kiss and Harry shushes her when she whines clutching the hem of his sweater, "bite me? She asks politely rather than being batty as for she was being within past days rilling him upto extreme to get her neck and skin sprinkled with hickeys that turns into bites.
"Don't wanna hurt ye', lovie." He pushes her hair away peering down at her with pleading worried eyes, "you wouldn't. promise." He nods flushing her against his chest positioning her head into the crook of his neck. Making her hug him like a koala bear.
Rubs her back. Pats her hair. Sways her along him rather than the seductive warnings he used to give her. He's afraid. She's too fragile at the moment. He'd never forgive himself if something will happen to her, "'m gonna bite. Stop me if ye' don't want it o' hurts." He runs his palms at her sides making her all squirmy.
He pushes her fangs ever so gently to her sweet spot. If she's made of glass making her moan and tight her grip around him warming up his cock in his trousers. It's not always about you dumber. He scolds himself. Suckling lightly and pulling back in a pinch of moment. It's the first time he has almost pretended to drink from her. She's all sleepy in his hold. He carries her to bed and when tries to untangle himself so he could turn the telly off she whines not letting him.
Despite of these much blankets she's still feeling cold. From inside. It feels empty and she isn't liking it at all. Writhes and squirms causing Harry to ask, "ye okay there lovie'?" When she shakes her head with glassy eyes and a pout he understands.
"Cold." Is all she had to say and he's guessing the next, "in ye'r tummy?" When she bobs her head confirming he sighs softly pulling the elastic of his trousers down to free his dick getting rid of the item woving his calves with her, thighs between thighs and places a firm hand on her back moving his thumb into circles non-stop.
"Oh me lil dovlin' c'mere . . want me cock to warm ye up baby? 'S okay s' okay darlin'." He murmurs against her lips tugging at his foreskin hissing when the head of his thick cock gets pushed between their bellys due to approximty. Precome oozes from his strokes and he takes her panties off swiping his crown over her hole to lubricate her. Wounds his arm around the nape of her neck to lap at her mouth swallowing her whines and cries while sliding inside her compact walls twisting his stomach awfully, "shhh. shhh baby love. I got ya. Gonna take care of ye ---- try to sleep. I'll be waiting fo' ye in the morning." Once, situating himself deep and snug inside her. He keeps on embracing her like a little baby.
Next morning though she woke up happy. Harry made her brekkie. Special smiley pancakes with heart shaped eyes from the little strawberry toppings. He really took advantage of his time while she was snoring her ass off. A peach smoothie and cashewnuts. Fed Meowsie. Gave her his morning lovin'. They had the meal together.
He helped her learn some of her course. Then in afternoon made lunch together egg fried rice and stirred vegetables Y/N went to give some of it to their neighbours. Lady Nat asked her if she's okay cause she has stopped stomping in her flat and it made her feel good, weirdly.
//
Maybe it's seasonal sadness that she couldn't get out of it. Harry's in the kitchen cleaning up shelves when he hears the rustle of carpet. He peeks from the wall to find her pooling into a big hoodie and slipping into her shoes. He frowns throwing the rag away to walk towards her immediately, "where ye' goin' lovie? Ye' okay what happened?" He runs his hands over her shoulders to her hair making her meet his eyes.
She nods squeezing his wrists, "don't worry just wanna . . . take a walk — clear my head." Hearing this he quickly moves to wear his jacket.
"'M goin' with you." He declares and she knows if that'll happen she wouldn't be able to, "No. Alone." She fumbles with the strings of her hoodie. He sighs not fond of the idea brows knighting together thumbing at her jaw with concern screaming in his eyes.
"Can I mark you then?" He asks knowing what hides in the shadows of outside; creatures evil than his entire existence. He doesn't want to make her feel like she owes him explanations for her each and every movement but gosh does it scare him to his bones. She's the only person who could make him weak into knees and a mesh of puddle at the thought of even the thorn pricking her, "okie." She cranes her neck and it still amuses him she's exactly how she was when he first met her. That gentle rose under the moon meant for Harry to care and water with love.
After adorning her with a crimson mark and little peck he tugs her closer hooking his nose to her hair taking a good sniff of her cocoa scent, "keep your phone in ye' hand and don't walk through the cherry street." There's nothing there but stray dogs that she's afraid of. It's better he advises her.
"Ai. Ai captain!" She salutes him stomping her feet and he chuckles kissing her cheek wet-ly, "Go before I change me mind."
//
He wanted it not to creep it to his mind but it's not helping AT ALL. He's been restless and it's been fifteen minutes since she has left. He's sitting sunk into sofa with Meowsie snuggled under his chin while he shakes his knees, cracks his knuckles, combs his hair and groans into his palms. In short throwing tantrum like a toddler missing her already and constantly worrying about her. Something doesn't feel right at all. That gut wrenching horror of losing her biting him alive.
He mutters a fuck it going to look for her and bring her back home. He was right. He has always been. Good at instincts. For fuck's sake. He's a vampire!
Y/N was walking along the path which's the lead way to a park when a dark vibe gloomed over her head. The next she knows is she's being pinned to a wall with demonic eyes snatching at her soul: it takes her breath away outta horror.
"No wonder why Harry kisses the earth you walk on." He chuckles darkly accent an old Scottish and she gulps eyes stinging with tears, "I would to . . if I get to drink such sweet ripe blood." Her eyes widens when his fangs pokes out from his gums glistening under the lamp light.
She tries to kick him in balls to get rid of his painful grip when an angry growl echoes towards them loudly and the person who had her trapped wooshes from her sight in a bolt to ground making her shriek.
"She's not a fuckin' feeder stay the fuck away from her!!" Harry grits spitting venom. Choking the person under him, "tol' ya she's my girl and I'll shred everyone alive if they'll even breath in her direction." She has never seen him this furious. Tone harsh and snappy she never heard coming from him it makes her cry.
He had warned his fellows when the news of him spread that he has bonded to human. But well they've thick skulls.
The man under him just smirks pushing him away and coughing into his elbow standing up. "Whatever thought sharing is caring, Styles." Harry glares him resentfully. Fisting a punch at his side but stables himself when a dainty hand wraps around his fingers clutching tight.
He turns ducking down to her level cupping her cheeks and tries to examine her for any kind of injury, "ye' okay? Did he hurt you? Tell me and — " she rubs her nose with the sleeve of her hoodie shaking her head vigorously.
"No. 'M fine sorry should've listened to you." He puffs out a breath of guilt letting his forehead fall against her's, "don't be sorry -- it's none of ye'r fault baby."
"Glad you're safe." He whispers hugging her with the sway of bodies, "I love you." She tells him honestly tip-toeing to kiss him and it unfortunately reaches his silky jaw only.
"And all the things you do for me." He grins down at her. He lives on praises. The cheeky bastard.
"How about eatin' ice-cream while taking swings in the park?" He intertwines their hands warmly kissing her knuckles and she quips excitedly, "sounds great!"

Firefly’s Glow - Part 1/?
For @janetm74 and @tsarinatorment and because I am desperate to post something to get my groove going again.
 📦 trapped in a box requested by Janetm74 / How about ⏳ - time’s running out and 📦 - trapped in a box with some Scott&Gordon? – requested by Tsarinatorment
A/N: Author’s Note - Okay, first I hope it’s ok that I combined these asks. Second, I know this is strange. End notes included to explain. Also, I have and by extension Gordon has a potty mouth. I promise I edited most of them out.

Less than a minute.
Gordon could work miracles in less than a minute. In 51.2 seconds, he went from Gordon Tracy, son of the late Jefferson Tracy, to Gordon Tracy, Olympic Gold Medalist representing the United States of America. He’d let the muscular pull, push, recovery rhythm of the butterfly stroke propel him past world records.
But of course he never really had to think about how to move through water.
Focus.
He had shackles to pick.
“You’re running out of time, Gordon Tracy.”
Damn it all.
Now the Hood was just being rude. It was Virgil’s face and voice that taunted him– though it really wasn’t his voice because Virgil could never speak to Gordon with a tone so laced with malice. Ire, sure. Hatred and malevolence, no way in hell.
Gordon would tear the Hood apart for stealing his brother’s voice, starting with a solid right hook in his snickering mug once he got out this.
Arms crossed, the Hood had a timer in one hand and an unrecognizable gun in the other. Though Gordon knew guns, he couldn’t recognize this one from the quick glance he’d spared. He’d had no time to look.
35 seconds.
He could do this. In that amount of time he’d saved an electrified Thunderbird 2 from a free fall by redocking his pod in the plummeting behemoth and connecting their computer systems to regain control. He hadn’t needed time to think, just react – his brother’s life was dependent on Thunderbird 2’s survival.
His brother whose voice was stolen by a madman.
“My, my, didn’t my niece teach you better than that?”
Leave Kayo out of this, you stupid, greedy, motherf - His survival thus far had been a little bit Kayo, a little bit Parker, and a whole lot of Brains. Parker for the lock picking knowledge, Kayo for the speed and survival tactics, Brains for the lock pick built into the bottom of his boots.
And sure, maybe a little bit of his own survival training helped.
A minute to remove the shackles in exchange for freedom. 60 seconds. Gordon could save lives in 60 seconds. He can, and will, save his own.
15 seconds left.
“Tick tock.”
His hands fumbled with the small pick between his fingers and the awkward angle of a lock he couldn’t even see, only feel.

The shackles came free and fell to the ground with a clatter. Gordon panted, his heart pounding in his chest.
“Very good. Perhaps, you have some worth to me after all.”
“But-”
“Oh, I was never going to let you go, Gordon Tracy. But thank you for the…” Virgil-that’s-not-really-Virgil waved a hand towards Gordon’s shoes. “Demonstration.”
Rage welled up inside him.
It was Virgil’s face, sure, but Gordon had punched Virgil before. Hell, Virgil had punched him before. And the man in front of him wasn’t really Virgil anyway. So, Gordon launched himself at the Hood, preparing to attack.
In his anger, he’d forgotten about the gun. He wouldn’t have entered a gunfight with his fists if he remembered. Taking out your opponent 101.  His WASP superior officers would have been sorely disappointed in him.
Sans his standard yellow baldric (because the Hood had taken that from him too), Gordon gasped at the sudden impact that hit his chest. Even though the projectile’s force wasn’t enough to drive him back, the gun, intended for mid-range, packed a hell of a punch, and there was a terrifying moment when Gordon looked down at his body and expected to see blood. Instead, the dart protruding from his left pectoral carried a blue liquid, an injection of something. He didn’t know what, and somehow, that thought was even less comforting.
The swift lethargy that flowed through his muscles slowed him as the drug hit.
Gordon crumpled to the dirty cement floor as Virgil cackled in his ear, and all went black.
*****
Gordon’s love of the sea came first from the fact that the sea was so different from the plains of Kansas, secondly that it was a part of the Earth itself he loved so much. and thirdly – and most importantly– because the first time he stepped into the rushing waves of the ocean it had been like finally learning to breathe.
Gordon had learned to appreciate all of Earth’s life at a young age. He was never a rescue scout like Scott, as there was a bit too much focus on badgework for his tastes, but his youth was spent making mud pies, watching bird’s nests, and observing caterpillar chrysalises all the same.
The summer Gordon was six, Scotty had taken him out to the barn late at night and showed him how to make a lantern of fireflies. Their adventure pack (really Scott’s school bag, repurposed) held a flashlight, mason jars, a couple pieces of mesh to put overtop the glass, and two bug nets.  
No brothers were allowed – this was for him and Scotty only.
He’d abandoned the bug net for his hands pretty quickly, and within a few minutes, he’d managed to catch five or so for his lightning bug lantern. Of course, Scott had managed to catch more because he was older and also because he’d shared this memory with all his brothers and this was only Gordon’s first time.
It had been so pretty, the fireflies dancing in the mason jar, their lights slowly dimming and brightening in a mellow cadence that soothed his soul. But then, he realized their little bodies, which were used to flying around in the expanse of the sky, were suddenly confined to the glass container of the jar. And he saw not beauty but pain.  
It was a lovely, bittersweet memory he kept close to his heart because it represented a key moment of his youth: first growing up with Scott as an older brother and also the first time he’d felt a creature’s cry reach him. It was the same wail he felt when he read about oil spills off the coast of Alaska and illegal fishing nets that should not still be in use, and, god, the absolute trash humanity left in the oceans for poor sea turtles to choke over.
Scott hadn’t understood where the tears came from suddenly, but Gordon remembered his brother kneeling in front of him so their eyesight was level, and he recalled him asking what happened and what Gordon needed, completely uncaring that his jeans were getting dirty in the fertilized soil.  And the best thing about Scott was that he was the type of older brother that didn’t laugh or ignore him when Gordon said “they want out” through blubbering tears. He just helped Gordon release their fireflies back into the night, and instead they spent their evening counting their happy flickering until the numbers lulled Gordon to sleep.
The memory faded; the fireflies behind his eyes converged to a fragment on the other side of his lids, and a piercing white struck his brain with each blink as he awoke.
His feet were cold. The Hood had stolen his boots. Of freaking course. His next realization was that the rest of him was not as cold as his feet. In fact, that light coming in through the window was making his face and neck feel quite flushed.
It was the light that told him he was somewhere new. Previously the Hood had kept him locked in the darkness in his cell.
He groaned, shifting to sit up and look around his new abode, which was compact and with no angles to define the walls. But it was all glass, and so the window he thought was present was actually the room itself. And the floor he realized, feeling the material against the pads of his feet as he stood, was also glass.
His investigation was short lived, and Gordon hissed as the attempt to put weight on his left foot shot a laser of pain up through his ankle.
God, the Hood must have really thrown him in here, he thought.
He looked up.
No, not thrown. Dropped.
The ceiling of the room was not a ceiling at all, but the top of a bottle where the glass curved inward and then continued upward.
It was not quite what he imagined…. being the test subject of a madman. Maybe a tube or a cage or the cell where he was before would make sense, but a human-sized glass bottle?  He felt like one of the fireflies he was just dreaming of, and of course, the Hood had to steal that memory too, in addition to his baldric, his boots, and his brother’s face.
As Gordon squinted to peer past the glass, the light that had been penetrating his new home suddenly darkened with a singular brown eye filling the expanse of the vessel, disorienting the shape so that the pupil was huge and the iris round, and the rest was…well, still huge just not as much so.
Fire raced through his ankle as he backed up two steps, stumbling into the back of the bottle.
“Gordon?” The eye said in a deep rumble.
The hell? He knew that voice.
“Fuse?”
“Shit, man, you’re tiny.”
His instinct was to look at his hands, but of course, they were the same from his perspective, though perhaps a bit grimier than they were before he was captured, tossed in a cell, and then forced to pick his way out of his shackles for no reason other than the Hood’s demented sense of pleasure.
The eye was then replaced with Fuse’s hand as he picked up the bottle to clasp it by the neck and pull it off of what was clearly a high shelf, with Gordon still inside.
Everything was not okay.
He was not okay.
It was never a human-sized bottle, and as his world shifted with Fuse raising the glass, Gordon realized he was lucky if he was half a foot tall.
END PART 1
End note:  In effort to think outside the box for in a box my brain went straight to pocket!Gordon, so I went angsty Arrietty/the Borrowers vibes. There’s a more literal box planned later, I promise, and more Scott as requested. But for now, hope this helps do the job. Also don’t skip over the first part, POCKET!GORDON. 😊

Note
Ok, I have a couple of things.
Firstly, my YB I named Sam my first run because he just looks like a Sam to me. I can't find myself attracted to TK from YBG at all because they remind me of my cousin a little too much.
Secondly, how would YB react to me coming out in a pair of black briefs and a crop-top mesh hoodie (as pictured below with nothing under it - not even a chest binder) super sleepy and sitting in his lap while he's in the middle of filming a review for his job?
Tumblr media
He would be tempted to just start touching your chest—but he’ll be a good boy and keep his hands to himself as he works on his video review
Expect him to bounce you on his lap though. He doesn’t mean to—he’s just trying to distract himself from your chest by moving his leg causing you to just be bouncing as well
