“Down the hall then turn right at the hooker” JUST POPPING IN YOUR ASK WITH THIS

Doug really has to go to the bathroom, but he can’t just let that go. 

“I’m not going to take your directions until you use people’s names, Mr. Shaw.” (There were also way too many scantily-clad women on Krakoa to even be sure who Shaw was being sexist about.)

kinda thinking about turning this into a multimuse and adding illyana.... lol.......

murderousillusions​:

“Yeah, when you look at some people who are running the show, I guess it doesn’t matter who you were or what you did before you got here.” Admittedly, history isn’t easy to forget, even with the element of resurrection and in this case, it helped that she and Doug did not have any. But Regan didn’t want to scare off her makeshift ‘date’ by being too philosophical. 

Nonchalantly, she hooked her arm into his, leaving her empty champagne glass on the nearby tray to follow him out. In a way, she could also assume that he was out of her league, albeit on a moral level. The Gala’s music and chatter dulled down slightly as they headed outside. She had to admit, the breath of fresh air along with the starry sky did make her feel a bit more at ease, as cheesy as it sounds. 

“Trust me, if you were bothering me, I’d be the first to let you know. I appreciate the gesture. You’d think that I’d do a better job at covering that up, but in my defense, I wasn’t on my A-Game or using my powers. Language is kind of your shtick, isn’t it?” Her own slight intoxication made Regan a little more tame and manageable, usually, she wouldn’t bother with small-talk, or show the bit of interest that she did, but Doug had gone through the effort to check up on her and offer some distraction, so she could hardly retaliate with snark and attitude. 

“Yeah, it’s not really that you weren’t hiding it well. I could tell you were trying to keep it under wraps, too. It’s just... kind of my thing.” Doug shrugs and extricates himself from her arm to give her space now that they’re outside. He smiles, though. “My power’s my power. I can at least use it to help somebody out.”

She was so pretty, Doug was a little bit afraid to look at her. He was worried he’d stare. Her pale blonde hair gleamed in the moonlight, like spun gold. That was like something he’d put in the Krakoan poetry he’d been writing. He wasn’t a very good poet, though, so it was something he should probably keep to himself.

“It’s pretty incredible, though, isn’t it?” He gestured around them. “You and me, just standing here in the island air, just talking. You’re not trying to kill me or use me as a hostage or anything! Uh, fingers crossed you won’t change your mind.”

The music was playing faintly from inside. The sea breeze blew in from the beach, sending a shiver down Doug’s spine. She probably thought he was naive, but he liked the hope, of the X-Men’s lamest X-Baby and Lady Mastermind standing side by side.

“But that’s why this place is so great. We're all on the same side now.”

[dougfromxmen]

“It’s not my fault I got stuck with such a wimp power—it’s a peach, I can yell “don’t shoot” in any language there is, big fat hairy deal!”

Endless Favourite Marvel Characters: Doug Ramsey

@murderousillusions continued from here

Doug broke out into a grin and covered his face. He hadn't actually expected her to react so positively. He had definitely thought she was out of his league. "Hey, I'm totally of sane mind to choose my company. This is Krakoa. You're a mutant, I'm a mutant—here, that's all I need to know."

He didn't know all the details of what her crimes were, either. The X-Men had so many enemies, and he'd been wrapped up with other stuff, like having just come back to life. He offered his arm to lead her outside. He ducked his head shyly and took a drink from his champagne glass.

"I mean, I don't know you super well or anything, so I don't want to bother you," he said. "Honestly, you just looked kinda upset, like you needed a distraction. I could read your body language a mile off."

[dougfromxmen]

“If you don’t know CPR, just give them a good fling about.“

Okay, Doug couldn't just accept that one.

"No, uh, wait, that's... Uh, as someone who was tossed around a little while he was dying of gunshot wounds and remembers how much that sucked, I cannot stress how much you shouldn't fling about people in medical emergencies."

[dougfromxmen]

"Just a one-time thing with a guy in a parking lot, you know."

"Uh-huh. Like the guy outside the business hotel in Tokyo. I remember."

Doug was pretty sure Shaw had gotten distracted talking about his one night stands now. Doug, meanwhile, was scrolling Twitter, which meant he'd been on the internet longer than was strictly a good idea. He scrolled and bounced his knee. Roberto was demanding on Discord that Doug teach Shaw about what a moneymaker Instagram motivational accounts could be. (Doug was pretty sure Roberto just wanted thirst traps because he thought Shaw looked kind of like Magnum, P.I.)

[dougfromxmen]

"If you trust in yourself… and believe in your dreams…and follow your star… you’ll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy."

Doug was sitting at the Council table so he could look at his phone without Shaw noticing. He figured eventually he'd stop talking if Doug let him run out of steam. Doug choked down a laugh at something Illyana sent in the group chat and coughed to cover it.

"Right, and that's how you became so rich and powerful, because all your dreams were crushed early and it made you stronger and wiser. I've been paying attention."

[dougfromxmen]

"Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. "

"Uh, thanks, Mr. Shaw." Doug gave him a weak smie. "That's really motivating."

Doug had not asked, but he was pretty sure this was Shaw's way of being nice. Maybe he was trying to take Doug under his wing, in his own weird way. And, hey, it was better than being bullied. Probably.

"I think I saw the quote once on one of those alpha male Instagrams. You're actually really popular in those circles. I see people arguing about you all the time on Reddit."

[dougfromxmen]

"There’s only one bad word: Taxes. If any other word is good enough for sailors, it’s good enough for you." (OMG HELLO WELCOME BACK!)

"Mr. Shaw, are you trying to convince me to drop an F-bomb becuse you're making some kind of statement about censorship you really deeply believe in, or because for frankly condescending reasons you think it will be funny?"

Doug sighed. "And you don't have to answer that. I can read it from your body language. I know."

He hesitated. His voice lowered slightly--not on purpose. "...Uh, bitch."

[dougfromxmen]

God I have to follow all my mutuals on an obscure Marvel character to actually send in ship memes, all my other muses are too asexual to ever just flirt with anyone lmao

[dougfromxmen]

@abrushwithdeath continued from here

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry." Doug covered his rapidly heating face in his hands, too embarrassed to look at her. She'd patted him like a dog. "I-I was just walking past, and I caught a whiff of your perfume, and..."

He wished could melt into a puddle right then and there. He couldn't bear to peek out of his hands. He'd be able to read every ounce of her body language. It was just too much.

"I can't believe I said that out loud. I swear I respect you for your accomplishments and not just because you're really pretty."

[dougfromxmen]

Parker can only scoff, “I heard about you. The freak who understands languages. What kind of lame ass bitch power is that? You’re barely worth being called a mutant.”

Doug scrunched up his nose. Oh, like he's never heard that one before. Still kind of stung, though. Why did everybody think he needed to be reminded that he was lame?

"Yeah? It's cool that you've heard of me." He smiles to himself, a little bit proud of himself for his comeback. "Since I have no idea who you are."
