choso heaved a heavy, tired sigh, letting his weight fall backward into his pillows- big, fluffy, and covered in black satin pillowcases. he let out a content, grateful, and utterly exhausted moan, followed by a big yawn. he stretched his arms up toward the ceiling, then let them fall limp on either side of his body, putting him in a comfortable sort of spread-eagle position.
choso simply lay there for a while, fifteen minutes passing where he didn't think at all. he simply lay there, existing. then a thought crossed his exhaustion-clouded mind.
he'll be home soon.
i can tell him.
choso grinned excitedly, rolling over onto his side and staring over at the bedroom door. after a (really) long moment he blushed a color similar to the youtube logo, a grin spreading onto his face. he rolled over onto his back, smiling happily, then he took four seconds for his lungs to inhale a deep breath. he held it in for four seconds, then let it out, taking about six seconds to completely exhale all the carbon dioxide. he closed his eyes, finally letting himself fall asleep- he slipped gently into a light, soft slumber.
but that one thought… "i can tell him…"
that thought lingered in the front of choso's mind, a feeling similar to the effects of a happy pill befalling his body- but without the inconvenient side effects.
----------
you lingered on the doorstep of your shared apartment for a moment, yawning loudly before quickly unlocking the door to the apartment, stepping swiftly inside and closing the door behind you. you slipped quietly into the bedroom- quietly as you could, of course, because you knew for a fact that your roommate was asleep on the bed. you wouldn't have even had to look to know- he was snoring the same way you used to.
you dropped your bag onto the desk next to the book shelf, entering the en-suite bathroom.
you bent over the sink, groaning quietly into your shirt before pulling it over your head and tossing it into the hamper outside the bathroom door. you then went straight back to the sink, turning on the hot water. you filled up your cupped hands with hot water, tossing it upward and splashing it on your face. you turned and walked a couple feet and bent over the shower, shakng your head like a cat who fell into the tub. you turned again ad went to leave the bathroom, but as you reached the doorway into the bedroom your hand froze over the bathroom light switch, your face turned bright red, and your eyes widened, your heart starting to race.
choso was naked in bed, and he hadn't even pulled the covers up over himself.
well.. he had his black boxer shorts on… but nothing else.
he was otherwise completely naked, sprawled out comfortably on the bed you and he shared, in a cute sort of spread-eagle position.
choso's body was illuminated in pale white moonlight, his thickly muscled body shining in the light of the full supermoon.
you tried your very best not to look, you really did- but your efforts were futile.
"like whatcha see, bunny?"
your heart stopped for a second.
"you look absolutely delectable with that blush on your face, m/n. it makes me wanna take you for myself."
"i-um-" you started to say something to try to defend yourself, but the part of you that knew he wouldn't bully you over it shut you up real quick.
choso grinned, sitting up on his elbows and looking right at you, making direct eye contact with you.
your face turned an even more violent shade of red, now exceeding the vibrance of a japanese shrine.
choso giggled, sitting up completely in bed he stared fondly at you for a moment, then got up rather quickly and without very much warning. he made a casual, slowish beeline for you, grabbing you by the waist and pulling you flush against his chest. his hands slid up your sides, shoulders and neck, then he cupped your face in his big, warm hands, forcing you to look at him. he waited a moment, letting you catch your breath- then he stole it from you lasciviously, bending down and stealing your lips in a hot, passionate, heart-skipping kiss.
"i love you, m/n." he said simply into your lips, picking you up by your waist and pressing you against the wall, making you wrap your legs around his waist reflexively. your arms went upward entirely non-reflexively and of their own accord, wrapping around his neck and pulling him closer to you, deepening the kiss deliciously.
choso growled possessively into your mouth, purposely making you moan. he used this opportunity to slip his tongue into your mouth, squeezing your thighs with both hands before one hand went up and tangled into your hair. he yanked softly on the hair on the back of your head, right near the baby hairs, making you moan loudly into his mouth.
choso did let you breathe- eventually. before that, he spent a few seconds kissing you roughly and heatedly one more time before dropping you carefully back onto your feet and holding you avariciously against the wall with both hands on your waist. he touched his forehead to the top of your forehead right next to your hairline- he was that much taller than you- and looked into your eyes, trying to control his own breathing and heartbeat as he waited for you to say it back.
he knew you felt the same way, after all. he was a hundred and fifty-four years old, he had learned over a century ago how to read people's emotions toward him.
your chest heaved as you tried to control your breath, which had become sort of ragged and heavy as you looked up into choso's eyes, trying to find the strength to speak.
you grinned, putting your hands on his head and letting your fingers tangle into his thick, pretty black hair. you pulled him down and pressed your lips against his again, whimpering needily into the kiss in response to another low, possessive, heated growl that ripped from the bottom of choso's chest.
you let your heart slow down to its normal speed, then took another moment for your own emotions before you responded, smiling and pulling choso almost impossibly closer.
"i love you too, choso.." you pretty much whispered, blushing furiously as you tried really hard not to panic in response to the words that had just come out of your mouth.
choso grinned, hugging you tightly and picking you up again. he carried you effortlessly backward to the bed, dropping you carefully onto the black satin bedsheets.
"ugh, you're so god damned hot, cho…"
"cho?" choso repeated teasingly, "is that the first time you've called me that, m/n? or is your mouth moving faster than your heart and head?"
you blushed, pouting and looking away furiously. "no…" you spat, trying to keep up the facade, "i'm jus'- i thought it was cute. so i decided to call you cho."
choso's grin widened and he giggled, kissing you roughly before growling quietly against your lips, "say that again, i liked it." his voice was low, deep and husky, telling you that he had been in a pretty deep sleep before you had come home. the sound of his voice sent a shiver of heat and anticipation down your spine, blood rushing downward in your body.
"you're so hot, cho…" you whined into his lips, moaning whoreishly into his mouth when he used the opportunity to slip his tongue into your mouth again, his hand wrapping around your throat and squeezing ever so lightly.
"you're mine now, m/n." he hissed into your lips, wrapping his arms around your waist and hugging you tightly.
you grinned, hugging him just as tightly. "and you're mine."
"i can settle with that, kitten…" he purred into your ear, grinning when he felt your face heat up.
you grinned, blushing. "kitten? is that the first time you've called me that, choso? or is your mouth moving faster than your heart and head?"
choso chuckled, grinning widely as you mirrored his earlier cheeky comment. he slapped your cheek lightly, licking your neck.
"no, i've called you that before… i just so happen to own a diary, and no, kitten, you're not allowed to read it."
you snorted, kicking choso's cheek. "pff, i'm good. i'd rather find out the things you dream about doing to me in real time."choso's grin widened to the point where it kind of hurt, but he didn't care. he finally had you all to himself…
and he was never going to let go of you.
"mine."
you grin, growling as you pull him down into another kiss- but this one is hotter, more rough. choso growls too, his hands sliding down your waist and squeezing your ass and thighs, making you moan into his mouth. he seized the opportunity once again, shoving his tongue into your mouth as he started to grind his hips against yours.
you pulled back involuntarily, letting your head fall back into the pillows as you groaned, starting to grind your own hips up into his. he growled warningly, holding your hips down with one hand, the other tangling into your hair and yanking it just roughly enough to make you moan loudly. the sound faded into another of its kind as choso latched onto your throat with his mouth, biting down just barely hard enough to lure a bit of blood from your veins. he groaned into your neck, dragging his tongue across the wound and relishing in the sweet, yet metallic taste.
"f-ch-choso..." you whined in a high-pitched voice, your back arching up involuntarily, your body pressing up against his.
"yeah, bunny?"
"i-i need you, p-please..." you whimpered, wrapping your arms around his waist and hugging him a little tighter than you intended. choso grinned, grabbing your face with both hands and forcing you to look at him.
"that's exactly what i wanted to hear, doll." he purred in a low voice. his grin widened and he dragged his tongue across your throat again, latching onto the side of your neck right underneath the right end of your jawline. he sucked on your neck hungrily, letting himself drown in the pretty whines and moans that fell from your mouth. his chest swelled with pride as he heard his name come out a few times; clearly no one else had ever been able to reduce you to such a mess as he had without even taking his or your pants off...
choso wondered what you'd look like when he finally did.
"choso, c'mooon..." you whined needfully, burying your face in his neck and pulling him closer. choso's hand slid down your chest and abs, letting his nails scrape softly against your skin and grinning when you moaned quietly in response to the feeling.
"take your pants off, bunny," he whispers quietly, sitting up and grinning again when you whined in response to the loss of contact. you sit up, kicking your jeans off quickly before pulling choso into another kiss. choso growls into your mouth, his body shaking a little in response to your hands sliding down his waist and squeezing his thighs.
"your hands feel so good, baby..." he whispered into your mouth, kissing you back in the rough, heated, passionate pace that you had set. he sneakily slips a hand into the waistband of your boxer shorts, letting his fingers play around affectionately (more possessively than anything else) with the skin of your hips.
"want me to fuck you, m/n?" choso whispered into your ear, "yeah? want me to fill you up with my cock? fuck you till you can't breathe enough to moan my name?"
a sound came out of your mouth somewhere between a moan and a groan, your voice dripping with need that was more than evident to your bright, empathic roommate.
"god yes, choso, please, fuck me, i need it so bad-" you whined, hugging choso even tighter. he grinned, growling predatorily as his hands raked down your body for what had to be the billionth time that night. his fingers hooked into the waistband of your boxers again and he pulled them down to your thighs, leaning down and purring into your ear.
"take them off, doll."
you grinned, pushing him off and kicking off your boxers, exposing yourself completely to him.
"finally..." choso groans, using his body to shove you down onto the bed, and now was the moment you noticed that choso had removed his own boxers, probably a while ago. he grabs you by the chin, his grip gentle but firm as he turns your head back upward to look at him.
"like whatcha see, bunny?" he repeats, grinning. before you can respond, he leans down and quickly grabs you up in another kiss. you nod furiously, and choso grabs you by your waist and lets his weight fall on top of you, then rolls over so that you're on top of him.
"ride me, then," he growls, "if you last long enough i'll give you exactly that... i'll fuck you till you can't breathe."
as he speaks, his hand slides up your body and he slips two fingers into your mouth. you take them gladly, sucking on them happily for about thirty seconds before choso pulls them out. both of you grin as you see the string of saliva that connected your lips with his fingers. he rolled you over again and sat up between your legs. he grabbed your hips and pulled you toward his hips, wrapping your thighs around his waist.
choso grinned, leaning down and dragging his tongue up your stomach, pressing a soft kiss to your lips. his body heated up in response to the whoreish moan that came out of your mouth when he slowly, carefully slid his two fingers into you. he bent down and kissed you again- this time, it was more soft and comforting than the other times your lips had connected with his that night.
"does that feel good, bunny?" he purred into your ear, twisting his wrist a little with his finger still inside you. he waited till you nodded vigorously, then pressed another finger inside you. you moaned quietly as he moved his fingers skillfully inside you, making your thighs trying to close up. but because they were still wrapped around choso, all you ended up doing was squeezing his waist and making him growl again.
as a result of your mind steadily becoming more fogged with pleasure, you giggled. choso's eyebrow went up, and he grinned again. you giggled again, making grabby hands at him. now it was his turn to giggle; he leaned into your embrace, letting you pull him down into another kiss.
"i really need you to stop teasing me," you said with a cute, aggressive pout that nearly broke choso's heart. he chuckled, carefully pulling his fingers out of you and quickly replacing the emptiness with the tip of his cock. he touched his forehead to yours, using one hand to pull you gently up by the back of your neck into a kiss as he slowly, carefully pushed his length into your tight hole.
"f-fuck..." you and choso moaned in unison. your eyes rolled back into your head for a moment as you tried your best to process the feeling of being so full- filled to the brim with the man you'd been so madly, hopelessly in love with for so long.
choso growled like a hungry animal as he bottomed out inside you. unable to hide from the urge to mess you up, he pressed his hand into your stomach as he started to move. you barely managed to contain yourself as this tiny, simple action sent you careening up into cloud nine, moaning loudly several times in a row- choso's name was sprinkled into the mix.
"f-nnngh, fuck, choso, fuck that feels so good..." you moaned.
"yeah, i know, bunny," he growled, applying more pressure as he started to move faster, putting a bit more force into his thrusts. he kept on like this for a couple of minutes, adding more speed and strength in small increments until, without any warning for poor little you, he hit your prostate. now, this would have felt damn good, yes, but choso was laying on top of you at a very precise angle, and when he hit your prostate, he hit it at an angle that drove every nerve in your body up the wall, dragging a sound out of your throat that could have been accused of being a scream, and the accuser would be correct.
choso only grinned evilly when he heard that sound come out of your mouth. his hand snaked up your body, relieving the pressure and making you whine in protest- but the sound quickly turned into a strangled moan as choso wrapped his hand around your throat and squeezed.
you whined, squirming impatiently underneath choso's weight as your body started to burn with the immeasurable craving for more... more. you needed more. and you barely managed to voice this through the hazy white fog of pleasure clouding your brain cells.
"ch-choso- more-nngh, more, please..." you whimpered, hugging choso tightly with both your arms and legs, using your body to urge him to give in to your request. and to your luck, choso grinned, wrapping his arms around you and squeezing tightly as he started to move more quickly, abusing your prostate just the way you'd asked him to. the coil in your gut... it was starting to melt, it was so hot.
it burned, it made every nerve ending in your body flare up. it made your whole body feel alive, and this was not a feeling you had felt before-
and you weren't a virgin.
choso hit your prostate particularly hard at one point and your eyes rolled up into your skull, a feral groan tearing its way out of the back of your throat. your whole body shook as your long-awaited release hit you head-on, choso's name falling from your love-swollen lips like a mantra. choso didn't hold out much longer than you; the feeling of your body pulling him in like a black hole didn't help very much. he squeezed you with all the remaining strength in his arms, burying his face in your neck and biting down possessively as he filled you to the brim.
choso collapsed completely into your body, letting the warmth of your arms surround and comfort him as he came down from the high. his hand slid up your body, touching the side of your neck and caressing the [s/c] perfectly love-bruised skin with his thumb. you smiled weakly, doing your best to focus on the feeling, using it to ground yourself back in reality and come down from your own high.
"that was…" choso started, trailing off.
"i don't even know how to label it…" you whispered.
"i don't think there's even a word for it." choso realized after spending a couple seconds trying to get his brain to think. "i do know one thing, though… i love you, m/n. i want you all to myself, forever. is that alright with you, bunny?"
you grinned, burrowing your nose into his neck and nodding furiously.
"yeah, that's better than alright."
"then y'know what that makes you, my pretty little slut?" choso said, moving his head up a little and looking into your eyes.
"what?" you challenged, your grin widening. choso leaned down and pressed his lips to yours in a kiss that was impossibly strong and heated after what you and he had just done.
"mine."

Tumblr media
It's well after midnight. Joel is normally awake and on call at this hour. In fact, he’s on call right now, but he couldn't tell you where his phone is. You’re asleep under his arm, and he’s not tired enough to drift off. He shuts his eyes and thinks about what he wants to do to you. 
Cockslut like you has gotta have toys lyin’ around. Prolly can’t go 12 hours without gettin’ your gash stuffed. 
He cautiously lifts his arm off your back, slides out of bed, and tiptoes over to the window to get a little more moonlight in there. Then, he goes to your nightstand. You sigh in your sleep. 
He opens the drawer and rolls his eyes in disappointment when there’s only one satin bag. Just a vibrator. Then he sees the corner of a dark, suede box sticking out from under your bed. Jackpot. You’re sleeping face down, and your arm is dangling off the bed, fingers nearly grazing the corner of the box. He manages to pull it out from under the bed without disturbing you. There’s another one behind it, too. 
He sits on his knees and opens the box. Oh yeah. You’ve got all sorts of dildos, dongs, rabbits, there’s like six cocks in this box. There’s lube, a strap, suction cups. So many possibilities, he can’t think straight. God damn. 
He picks up the biggest dick. He wraps his hand around it. Aren’t these things supposed to be bigger than real ones? Especially for a size queen like you. You must be using more than one at a time. He imagines you smashing two of them together and sitting on them, letting out a slutty moan as you sink down. 
He’s hard as a rock. Your phone lights up on the nightstand, and he looks at it. It’s 2:33 and there’s a pop-up notification. It has a flame logo with the text,  “Darren and 18 others are waiting for your response.” What the fuck is this? 
He unplugs the phone and tries to open the notification, but it’s locked. He eyes your hand, still dangling off the bed, and carefully presses the screen against your thumb to unlock it. He has some trouble finding the notification again. He’ll figure it out, but first he’s got to do something about this brick in his boxers. 
You’re snoring lightly now, covered by only a light sheet. You’re out cold. Probably out whoring every night this week, and now you’re finally catching up on sleep. 
His stomach growls.  
He sits up on his knees, facing your bed. You’re still on your stomach, and the knee closest to him is bent. Practically spread eagle, no surprise there. He pinches the sheet and slowly pulls it down until everything above your knees is exposed. 
His balls twitch at the sight of your glistening wound. God damn, look at you leaking. 
There’s a trail of cum and two dark spots on the sheet under you. Wonder how many loads you’ve got on this bed. Mattress must look worse than his. His cock bounces and rubs it with his wrist. He growls, looking at your snatch. 
Yeah he’s gonna ruin you in the morning, or as soon as he’s done figuring out what kind of whoring you’re up to. He didn’t imagine the professional kind. You seemed more like an amateur. 
But you’ve got 18 dicks waiting for you in this thing. He looks at your phone. 
Joel opens the camera app and carefully lines up a shot between your legs. Then he takes a picture. SHIT, it flashes. 
You whine in your sleep but don’t wake up. He looks at the picture. It’s a good shot, really good. He turns the flash off. 
You probably won’t even wake up if he touches you. So used to having hands and dicks and tongues all around this sloppy cunt. He stands up and makes an upside-down v-shape with his fingers and uses them to spread you even wider. You twitch and a little drop of cum rolls out, making him moan softly. He takes another picture. 
-
He goes out to your living room carrying a bottle of lube and your phone. There’s a massive tent bobbing in his tight boxers. He settles in on the sofa and takes out his cock and balls. His stomach growls again and he lazily rubs his belly. Guess mama was right, he should’ve ate more. 
He lubes up his dick, then looks at the picture on your phone. Your app offers to auto-correct the last one, and he can see much better after saying yes. 
Good lord. 
He has half a mind to fuck you right now, but instead he wraps his hand around his cock. 
He strokes himself, imagining those toys stuffing your slutty hole. What a sloppy mess you’d be, all fucked out and stretched from taking as many dicks as you could. He looks at the first picture, with the flash: an HD photo of the aftermath of his cock. You’re really something else. He’s never seen anyone take a dick like you. He switches between the pictures and groans at the sight of you spread wide open by his fingers. His hand makes you look smaller than you are. He could probably park his truck in there. 
Fuck. 
He strokes himself faster. 
Another notification with a flame pops up. You have a new match! 
Still jerking himself, he follows the notification and it opens your app.
“Alright, sex kitten,” he mutters under his breath. 
A message badge at the bottom of the screen shows you have 21 new. God damn, you love cock. He fucks his fist, hips slightly flexing. “Ohh,” he moans and closes his eyes thinking about you browsing for dick, vag drooling. But none of them can stuff you and stretch you the way he does. He pulls his shirt up and sighs as he cums into his fist and on his belly. 
He wipes his hand off on his shirt, leaving the cum smeared there, then wipes it again on his boxers before lying down on the sofa and using your phone with both hands. 
It's this easy? He knew you were this easy. Let's see what these other guys are packing. 
Joel opens a message from Marcus. Marcus says, “Hey, I saw you like coffee. Wanna grab a cup at the Bean Bar this week?” Joel clicks on the guy’s profile. He’s into traveling and books. No dick pics, not even an outline. What a fuckin’ loser. Joel deletes the match and returns to your list of guys. He sees a thumbnail of a guy with lips parted and his shoulders are bare. He opens that one. 
Benny. “Damn look at you,” Benny said. “Wanna get at this?” There’s a picture of him grabbing a bulge in his gym shorts. He’s got a green dot by his name. 
Joel thinks to himself, then types to Benny, “Yeah I love cock,” and sends it with a woosh.
He goes to look at Benny’s profile, and he’s a boxer. Most of his pics are shirtless. Lots of pics with slutty sweatpants. He looks like a dumbass, but at least he's smart enough to know what you’re looking for. The question is, does he have it. 
Benny replies. “Fuck yeah, got plenty for ya.”
“Hm,” Joel doubts to himself, then types, “Show me.” 
Benny replies, “Damn, most chicks don’t want the full monty.” 
Joel squints in frustration. Is Benny dense? 
“I SAID I LOVE COCK,” Joel replies on your behalf. 
“Lmao I like it. I show you mine, you show me yours 😉,” Benny responds. 
“No problem,” Joel sends.
Before he does anything else, Joel thinks to text himself those two pics. Mama’s right, he’s smart. He’s got her wits. His stomach growls again.

You wake up in the middle of the night and hear something. As you blink awake, a flickering blue light is coming from down the hall. You put on a long t-shirt and rub your eyes on your way to the living room. You begin to faintly hear the shamwow infomercial as the silhouette of Joel Miller’s hair comes into view.  He’s sitting on your sofa watching tv. He bends forward and puts something on your coffee table.  Then, as he settles back into the sofa, he does an exaggerated yawn and stretches his arms over the back of the couch. You look at the clock. It’s 3:45 AM. 
You pad into the living room and observe him manspreading on the couch.
“Hey sleepyhead,” he yawns as you sit down next to him on the sofa, taking in the scene. He’s in boxers and a navy shirt that’s ridden up exposing a couple of inches of belly. There are darker blotches on the shirt. 
“What are you doing out here?” you ask, voice hoarse with sleep. A better question would be, why are you still in my house?
“Couldn’t sleep. Got hungry. Want some casserole?” He sighs with the effort as he bends forward to get the Tupperware and fork for you. 
“Where’d that come from?” you ask. 
“Mama made it. Spaghetti casserole. Really good, you should try it.” He practically shoves it into your face. 
You pick up the fork and take a bite. 
“Mmm,” you hum in genuine enjoyment. “Wow, this is good.” 
“Yeah,” he agrees with brightened eyes. “Ya know, you could come for dinner sometime. She’d love to have ya.” He mentions it casually, but there’s a glimmer of hope behind his eyes. 
You know better than to laugh in his face, but you don’t exactly accept the invitation either. “Really?” you ask. 
“Yeah,” Joel nods as you take another bite. “More where that came from.”  You contemplate as you chew and he cradles his balls through his boxers. You finish your bite and put the casserole and fork down. He finishes a beer. 
“Sure,” you nod, then get up to go back to bed. 
“Where ya goin’?” He asks.
“Gotta work in a few hours.”
His face darkens, but he stays where he is.
“This whorefire app’s pretty cool,” Joel calls after you. What is he talking about? 
You turn around and he’s standing up. He stretches with his arms wide, and his boxers are low enough to show his pubic hair and whiter skin, giving you a little rush of arousal. Your eyes pan over his body and you don’t even notice the phone in his hand. He tosses it onto the sofa. 
He takes slow steps and you stand still. Soon he’s in arm’s reach and lowers his voice. “Get over here, kitten.”
He walks into you, then reaches around to grab your ass. He slides a palm down over your crack until his middle finger meets your slick. 
“Mmm,” he growls.”I’ll tuck ya in.” 
He smacks your ass with a low,“Ooh!” then walks into your bedroom. 
Tumblr media
You’re throbbing at the thought of having him again, but you find yourself muttering, “Said I had to sleep,” as you get back in bed. You slip your feet under the sheets. 
He doesn’t waste any time before getting on top of you. “Spread’em, sweetheart.” He knees your legs apart and shoves his hand between your legs. He locks eyes with you as he rubs your most sensitive place. “Fuck,” he growls, then sits up on his knees. He holds the thick shape of his cock through his boxers and with his other hand, nudges your entrance, then easily slips a finger inside. When he adds a second, you whimper. 
“I’m comin’,” he grumbles to your needy cunt. He pulls his boxers down and clumsily takes them off before settling back between your legs with his heavy cock looming, making you gush. He braces a hand on the bed, to the side of your hips. You’re ready, so ready for it. Your body is making space for him. You feel yourself opening up. But he gives you his fingers again. He slides in one, then two with ease, stacked vertically. It’s not enough, especially without any attention to your front. 
“Look at this messy mouth, droolin’ all over, swallowin’ whatever I give it.”  He adds a third finger, also stacked vertically. He thrusts them a few times, gazing at you in a trance, then rotates his hand palm up, with three thick fingers spreading you wide. He leans forward so his palm covers your clit, thank god, as he fucks you with three fingers. 
He lowers his voice and reveals, “I know ya don’t gotta work. Found your paystub in your car, whoops.” He spreads his fingers and inhales a deep, hungry breath as his fingers continue filling you. “‘S’okay. Just be good for me.” 
“I’m always good,” you breathe, hips lifting into his hand. 
He chuckles darkly. “Always good. Almost cut my dick off one time,” he reminds you. 
“You tried to kill me–ohhh,” He curls his fingers and digs his palm down on your front. 
His face darkens, and his fingers pause all the way inside you. “Sweetheart, if I tried, ya wouldn’t be here.” 
He shoots you a glare that makes the back of your neck go cold with sweat as his fingers slide out. 
He shoves his cock in with a grunt that turns into a sigh as his girth spreads you open. With his eyes still dark, he withdraws half his length, then slams into you hard, “Mmmnngh,”  with his jaw clenched. He releases his breath and sighs vocally, fully sheathed in your warmth. 
His hips begin to move. “Gonna take this when I say, how I say,” he breathes, then grits his teeth as he slams into you again. 
It’s like having a soda can between your legs, and your body welcomes it. 
“Fuck you're tight. ‘Specially compared to earlier.” 
Joel looks down where your bodies are joined and watches his big dick disappear between your legs. “Take it like a fuckin’ pro.” He buries his length in your dripping hole, you're getting wetter by the minute. “Fuck, you’re wet.” He slams into you hard and you brace your hand on the headboard. 
“Fuck,” you whisper and raise your knees, spreading your legs wider. 
“Good kitten,” he says. 
He rails into you one more time and bottoms out. He reaches over to the other side of the bed near the headboard, and slides his hand under a pillow, retrieving a dong. 
He holds it by the base and wobbles it in the air. 
His cock slides out of you, arousal dripping everywhere onto the sheet. 
He holds the dong up to his hard cock. “Think you’ve graduated.” 
He begins to line the toy up with your entrance.
“Supposed to use lube with that,” you protest. 
“Sweetheart,” he laughs, then grumbles, “You should see the mess between your legs.” He wets his lips as he stares at your cunt. Arousal rolls down his cock, over his huge sack.  “Still drippin’ off me, damn.” 
He cups his balls and grunts “Mmm,” before returning to the task. 
He lightly taps your pussy a few times, listening to the wet smacking sound. “You’re good,” he chuckles. He wipes off his hand on the head of the dong.
His brows furrow. He uses his thumb and finger to spread you wide, then begins to push the toy into you. “Nothin’ this greedy pussy can’t do.” It doesn’t feel nearly as good as he does. 
He thrusts the dong in and out of you a few times then pauses with it mostly withdrawn. He presses the toy against one of your walls, and slides in one finger, then two alongside the toy. 
You spread your legs wide so he can get even closer. He lines up his stiff cock flat against the side of the dildo and uses his fingers to help wedge the tip of his cock in. The stretch burns until he pushes a little more and you swallow nearly his whole tip. 
He pushes a bit more and you groan. 
“You can do it, baby.” He thumbs your clit, helping you open up more. His tan tummy swells with his flexing abs and he begins to push again. He presses his hips forward and his cock slides all the way into you along with the dong. 
“God damn,” he breathes. “Wish you could see this—unngggh,” He pulls back, holding the toy steady, watching your pussy cling to him, the thin membrane stretched wide, begging him back. “Fuck, you can take a cock.” 
Your insides swell with arousal. It's an incredibly full feeling, but it also makes you throb how he loves to watch you take as much as you can, and he's always got more to give, somehow. 
“Shoulda used the strap,” he mumbles. 
He thrusts and pushes the toy another time, then says “Fuck it.”
He slides out of you, and your cunt feels cold on the outside and inside. 
“Oh, fuck,” Joel murmurs and strokes himself. “Baby you're gapin’.” He wedges three fingers together and slides them face up into you with such ease it makes your face burn. “Well,” he chuckles. “Damn.” He slides them almost all the way out and adds his pinky. Again they slide in you without much resistance after taking two cocks side by side. 
“God damn, sweetheart,” Joel marvels. He slides the four wide digits as far in as they’ll go, then starts fucking you with his hand, thumb on your clit. Your body feels hollow with butterflies and all you can do is moan. 
He clamps his hand down to grind the heel of his palm on your clit with four fingers all the way inside you and you groan, so close to the edge. Clit pounding.
“Come on, baby. Squeeze me and I'll give ya one more.” 
You’d thought about it so many times since that once. The thought of his fist trips you right over the edge, the blood that was swelling your core exploding outward as waves of pleasure consume you. 
“Attagirl,” he mutters with your pelvis lifting into his hand. “Fuck, that's hot.” He watches you clench around his hand, more arousal gathering on his fingers . 
The tip of his cock is leaking now, but his attention is all on you. As you come down from your high, he says, “relax for me,” which you already are. He spits on his thumb, then slides his fingers out just enough to wedge his thumb in. 
Your skin is hot from your climax. He begins to push in. “Fuck,” he mutters as he slides his hand in. “Only see this in porn,” he mumbles, sliding his hand in and out gently.  The thought of him jacking off watching someone get fisted makes you twitch. “You’d be a star ya know.” Your skin gets hotter at the comment. His hand flexes inside you, then he slides it back out toward your entrance. His hand comes out, literally dripping. 
He eyes your gaping cunt and says, “you should see this.” 
He thumbs your clit with his dryer hand as he runs the knuckles of his wet fist through your folds. Then begins to nudge your stretched out hole. You widen your hips even more and he begins to nudge inside, wiggling his fist gently as your greedy cunt consumes it. It gets easier as he pushes deeper. “Oh, God,” he pants, wrist deep inside you. “Fuck, I gotta be back in there.” 
He slides his fist out, braces a hand on the bed, and shoves himself into you all at once. It’s not a stretch at all. Your body is barely starting to gather itself back together, loosely hugging his cock. 
He asks, “Want more, huh?”
You nod, face burning. 
“This fat cock ain't doin’ it?” He fucks you loose and sloppy. “Ever seen a fatter one?” You shake your head no, and it's true. “Fattest cock ya’ever seen can't fill ya up.” 
“Not now,” you mutter and grab the toy. You wrap your lips around it, tasting yourself as you wet it with slobber. 
“Cause I ruined ya,” Joel nods. “Wrecked this greedy gash. Ohh baby, look at ya suck that cock.”
You take the toy out of your mouth with a pop and reach down to line the head up with his cock. 
He pauses. “God DAMN,” he says as you push it in alongside him. He pushes his hips forward, filling you up. 
You sigh as you're once again full. 
“Fuck, that feels better,” he breathes, moving his hips to pump in and out of you to the same rhythm of your hand. “Ohh, fuck I'm gonna–” 
“Hold on,” you tell him. 
He’s struggling not to come. Sweating, panting, looking at your stuffed cunt, then your body, your blissed out face, then the ceiling as he fucks you while you fuck yourself, too. 
Soon, he bottoms out with a groan and pulses inside. 
“I dunno how ya do it,” he marvels. “Tight as hell, then she’s gapin’, beggin’ for more.”
When he slides out of you, you’re grateful he holds you as your body fills the void. He spoons you but stays up on one elbow so he’s hovering, looking at you in the moonlight. He brushes your burning cheek with his thumb and smiles. He nudges your chin to face him and he kisses you good night, again. You fall asleep spooning.

Your engagement is what makes this AU fun to write. I would love to hear your thots, what lore you want, etc. that's what makes Tumblr my platform of choice, too. If you're shy, anons are back on for now.
If you're not caught up on night walks, consider giving it a shot - Night Walks (latest - beach walks).
If you want more of a character, engage. It's fun for all. Don't use AI, which makes writing less fun.
IDK when or what I will post next.

Inspired by this, what about eddie x strong reader, the type thats like tomboy/ kinda alittle built and eddie loves it because she man handles him and tosses him around in bed and theyre both always covered in bruises
Sweet submissive boy. Eddie Munson x female reader. Smut. Blurb.
(I went feral with this one, I’m also really fucking ill so if this isn’t up to usual standards I’m sorry!!)
You first found out Eddie was submissive by accident, your fingers intertwined in his curls as he was thrusting into you, the sound of his balls slapping against your ass echoed throughout the room with a soft background noise of the pair of you groaning into each other’s lips. As Eddie’s love grew rougher, you had to hold onto something so you gripped onto his hair and tugged. The moan that came out of him was something you’d only heard in dirty movies, you looked up at him, almost starstruck. “What was that?” You tease, smirking up at his flushed cheeks. He offers you a nervous smile and resumes your journey to orgasm.
The second time he made that noise was when you were wrestling. It was only a silly moment, you honestly thought he was playing with you when he moaned. He’s sat on your legs, peering down at you with a “what you gonna do about it” look in his widened eyes. With a giggle, you reach up and clasp your palm around his throat, squeezing the sides of his neck with gentle pressure. His eyes practically roll to the back of his head and you’re dizzy with dominance. You have him literally in the palm of your hand.
Eddie refuses to communicate about it though, you’d finally found the thing that makes your confident and theatrical boyfriend into a puddle of embarrassment. You didn’t know why he was so shy about it, it was adorable. It’s not like you don’t jump at the chance to take control either, it turned you on to see his pupils widen. He couldn’t hide how aroused it made him. To not be in control, to feel small, to feel pain.
After a girls trip out, you arrive home with several shopping bags. Eddie, eagle-eyed, spots the logo of the local sex store. Your girl friends insisted you’d go into the shop, you’d not put up a fight, curious to see what you could take home for yourself and Eddie. You pulled out a pair of handcuffs from the bag, dangling them on your index finger as they swung from side to side, putting Eddie into a hypnotised like state as he stared at them. His signature flush on his cheeks as usual, he takes his gaze off of the cuffs and up to you. Nodding enthusiastically. You squeal in excitement, grabbing his hand and rushing him into the bedroom with a beaming smile spread across your face.
The cuffs fit comfortably behind the headboard, you place them behind the metal bar and fasten Eddie’s wrists in. He looks a picture, staring up at you with his big doe eyes, non verbally asking you what you have in store for him. “Oh I’m gonna have so much fun with you Eds..” you tease, smirking down at him as you trace your fingers across his bare chest. “Ah-ah-ah” he pleads, writhing underneath your nails, “tickles!” He stammers, you smile in return. Letting up your accidental torment. “Sorry baby, I wanna make this good for you. I know you like this. Like it a little rough don’t you Munson?” You breathe out, adamant in your words. He nods his head helplessly, with a pretty pout plastered on his lips.
You palm his erection, the tent shape growing in his boxers was hard to miss. He pants, pulling at his restraints at the first brush of your fingers against his underwear clad cock. Your index finger circles around the head of his dick teasingly, his tongue slips out of his mouth and he whines for your lips on his. You grant him his wish, lifting his head onto the palm of your hand and yanking at his hair, pulling him into your lips for a passionate kiss as your tongues fight for power. Your tongue over takes his easily, Eddie’s left a moaning mess underneath you. A bead of precum dribbles from his cock, soaking through his boxers. You eye it and giggle.
“Desperate boy, so desperate for mommy aren’t you?” Eddie’s face lights up, and you immediately know you’re correct. “Mommy’s” he mouths, too shy to speak the words. “That’s right baby. Now mommy’s gonna make you feel real good.” You pull his underwear down to his ankles, sliding them off him. You grip your fist around his cock and Eddie tries to thrust up into it. Your fingers ghost around his sensitive happy trail as he fucks your hand, your nails teasing around his waist sending him into overstimulation. You lick a stripe up from his sack, up his shaft and swirl your tongue over his slit. “Mommy” he whines, “you’re close aren’t you baby?” You observe.
“Please please, please..” Eddie whines, his voice hoarse from begging. He’s desperate to cum, tilting on the edge of orgasm. His cock throbbing in your fist as you jerk him tightly. “Cum for mommy.” You tease, your lips lifting up into a smile. He throws his head back, his brown curls littered over the pillow as his cock leaks out his pearlescent cream. It shoots out of him in warm ropes, spilling onto your hand and up onto his tummy, soaking the hair of his happy trail.
“I knew you were mommy’s little bitch.” You coo, moving the hair from his face and uncuffing his wrists. Pulling the exhausted boy’s face into your breasts to rest. “Did so well for me Teddy. Proud of you.” His face nestles into your skin, and he mumbles sweet nothings under his breath until he floats back down from subspace to reality.

You can view this as one long image on my DeviantArt.
I have returned from The War (my recent Stardew Valley addiction) just in time for Sonic Day. May I present to you: this thing. I had the idea that it would be funny to make little "infographics" for my needlessly convoluted role swap AU, with the addition of Blaze being the punchline of each one. Naturally I then sunk way too much effort into it. And then I didn't post it for over six months. Whoops.
If you aren't familiar, this is a summary of my old Sonic Unleashed roleswap fic, Sonic Leashed. You can read it on Archive of Our Own (my personal recommendation), Fanfiction.net, or DeviantArt. It has two completed sequels (or a sequel and a sidequel, rather), and I've nearly finished drafting the third. The writing quality increases with each installment and Sonic Unleashed fics are a dime a dozen, so if you'd rather skip right to the Colors rewrite you can consider this your primer. maybe. I'm not the boss of you. bye.

From the Inquisitor to the Baptist: The Evolution of John Seed
Tumblr media
From the early stages of the development of a video game to the day it gets released, its gameplay, story, and characters usually go through many modifications. Far Cry 5 is no exception to this rule, and thanks to promotional images, trailers, interviews, official side material, and even deleted content still available in the game’s files, we can get a glimpse of what Hope County and its residents used to be like. John Seed, in particular, seems to have undergone quite a few alterations, both physical and moral.
In these posts, I will be listing and discussing all the changes I noticed in John and explaining why the man who used to be known as “The Inquisitor” isn’t identical to “The Baptist” we met in Far Cry 5.
All the sources and references indicated by the superscript numbers will be given in the last post.
Part 1: Physical appearance, clothes, and tattoos (concept art, promotional content, and side material)
What seems to be the earliest portrait of the Seed family is a piece of concept art that Lead Graphic Production Artist Nick Arnett shared on Instagram¹:
Tumblr media
As you can see, many things look different from what we are used to, from the Eden’s Gate cross (behind Joseph’s head) and logo (on the pulpit, with an eagle) to the Seed siblings’ outfits. The man on the right seems to be John, and he’s sporting a two-tone blue shirt that resembles the one he will end up wearing in the game, but he doesn’t have a vest. Instead of a belt, he has suspenders, and his pants and shoes look darker and more formal than his usual jeans and boots. He already has a beard and, while his hair is slicked back, as it is in the game, it’s a little longer. He doesn’t have any visible tattoos, but if you look closely, you’ll notice that he does have something on his hand: blood, running from his knuckles.
In May 2017, nine months before Far Cry 5 came out, the game was officially announced and a few promotional pictures were released, notably these two²:
Tumblr media
But before that, we can see what John looked like at an even earlier stage of the game’s development, during the making of those two aforementioned pictures, thanks to early sketches and visuals shared by AmCo Studio³ and Fire Without Smoke⁴:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
John’s iconic vest and sunglasses have appeared, and while his shirt became white, it’s now partially unbuttoned and the sleeves are rolled up, which is how he wears it in the game. As for his hair, it’s shorter than it was in the first family portrait and looks more similar to his final design. We still don’t see any tattoos on his arms, but he has a watch.
In the final version of what I would call the “Last-Supper-like” images, John looks even more like himself, but there are still a few differences:
Tumblr media
Although they are not strictly identical to the ones he has in the game, he’s wearing sunglasses with blue lenses on his head. His shirt became blue again, his vest is striped, and he now has his “EG” (Eden’s Gate) earring and belt buckle, grey jeans, and bunker key around his neck. He’s also wearing a coat, but while, at first glance, it looks like the one we all know, the pattern isn’t the same; instead of planes, there are “EG” symbols on it. The buttons, however, are already golden and decorated with scales.
Tumblr media
In the pictures, especially the first one, the siblings are associated with symbols: a crown for Joseph (on his jacket and napkin), a sword for Jacob (on his music box), a pair of scales for John (on his coat’s buttons and in the bread/cake), and intoxicating Bliss flowers for Faith, a reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Conquest, War, Famine, and Death, respectively, who. In John’s case, the scales could also be a nod to the fact he’s a lawyer. Indeed, scales are commonly used to symbolize justice.
This time, he finally has tattoos, and while some of them are the ones he will have in Far Cry 5, others are different. He already has small symbols on his fingers: an eye, a tongue, a hand with a drop of blood on it, a heart, a foot, a keyhole, and waves. The meaning of these symbols used to be a mystery to me, but it turns out they were inspired by Bible verses, specifically Proverbs 6:16-19⁵:
There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
The flames on his right wrist will be in the game as well, but here, they are smaller. This tattoo seems to have been taken directly from this illustration:
Tumblr media
It’s from a French (Breton, to be precise) collection of “Taolennoù Ar Mission” (literally “mission paintings” in Breton) by François-Marie Balanant, who was a priest, and it depicts a human soul being afflicted by the seven deadly sins⁶. “Taolennoù” were created in Brittany in the sixteenth century by the Catholic clergy in an effort to make religion more accessible to the faithful, some of whom were illiterate, with the help of drawings.
This particular image can be found on the Wikipedia page dedicated to the seven deadly sins⁷, which seems to have been the primary source of information and inspiration for several of John’s tattoos.
Clearly, the angelic figure with the dove, on his right hand, also directly comes from the drawing (upper left corner). This tattoo will later be redesigned and decorate the inner face of his left forearm.
As explained on Wikipedia, there used to be eight mortal sins, and their Latin names were:
Gula (Gluttony)
Luxuria (Lust)
Avaritia (Greed)
Tristitia (Sorrow)
Ira (Wrath)
Acedia (Sloth)
Vanagloria (Vainglory)
Superbia (Pride)
Tristitia and Acedia would later be combined, as well as Vanagloria and Superbia.
In the two promotional pictures, John has seven of these sins (except Acedia) tattooed on his left hand, as he does in Far Cry 5.
John also has letters on his fingers, but while, in the game, they spell “E-D-E-N” and “G-A-T-E”, here, we see G, G, S, E, W, P, and L, most likely the first letter of each deadly sin in English.
Tumblr media
On his chest, instead of a scar and the mutilated word “SLOTH”, he has a tattoo. We see two crossed rifles, the number seven in tally marks (probably yet another reference to the deadly sins), what seems to be the words “Bros & Sis” above the design, and what probably is “Til Death” under it. It looks like an infantry tattoo, very similar to the example included below (center) by tattoo artist Garrett Tankersley, known as tat2garrett on Instagram⁸:
Tumblr media
Finally, in one of the images, John is holding a tattoo machine. In the other, he’s holding a revolver. In the game, however, this weapon is nowhere to be seen.
Even though he will never use it in Far Cry 5, John was represented by this gun again on one of the game’s old official websites⁹:
Tumblr media
At the time, as you can see, his title was also “The Inquisitor” instead of “The Baptist”.
On the PlayAsia blog, on a page dedicated to Far Cry 5, short information sheets about a few of the game’s characters were posted¹⁰. They look official, but since I have only ever seen them on this website, which was not created by Ubisoft, their origin and therefore the accuracy of the information they give are uncertain.
Tumblr media
While most of what the picture says is either true (blue eyes, brown hair) or plausible (his height), John mathematically can’t be only 32 years old because he was already working as a lawyer about ten years before the events of the game, which is set in 2018. According to my research, it takes 7 years after graduating high school to become a licensed lawyer in the United States. In 2008, John couldn’t be younger than 18+7=25 years old, so it’s impossible for him to have been born after 1983. He could have skipped grades, but since this is never mentioned anywhere, I assume he didn’t and that he’s in fact older than 32 in Far Cry 5.
It’s possible, however, that he really was supposed to be 32 years old when the picture was made but that his backstory (and consequently his age) was then modified.
In the novel Far Cry Absolution, a few details are given about John’s appearance. For example, on page 6:
He was ten years older than [Mary May] and near six foot with brown hair and a beard that covered the lower half of his face.
Mary May is 29 (almost 30) in the novel, which makes John approximately 39 or 40 years old in the book. This age is more plausible, I think.
Then, on page 31:
John Seed, the younger brother of The Father, slighter in build, but cut from the same cloth. Both bearded and tattooed, and both with those all-seeing eyes that seemed to search through the dark with a kind of nocturnal prowess.
This isn’t the only time in the novel that John’s gaze is described as intense. The word “predatory” is even used on page 145.
Interestingly, and despite the fact it’s absent from Far Cry 5, the gun seen in his hand in one of the promotional pictures is mentioned in Absolution as well. It’s described as “a large revolver” on page 31 and as a “big magnum revolver” on page 57. He also uses a rifle “with a wood stock and bolt-action lever” (page 48) at one point, but this weapon isn’t in the game either.
Overall, aside from this detail, his physical description in the book is rather consistent with what we see in the game. And in this official picture posted in January 2018 to promote the book¹¹, he apparently looks the same as he does in Far Cry 5.
Tumblr media
In the live-action short film Inside Eden’s Gate¹², Joseph is the only member of the Seed family who is played by the actor who also plays him in Far Cry 5, Greg Bryk. In the game, while John is played by Seamus Dever, in the movie, it’s another actor named Rob Evors who was cast in the role. His voice and face obviously don’t sound and look exactly like John’s, so these differences are not significant.
Tumblr media
His outfit, however, has gone through several changes. I don’t know if the design was deliberately altered or if the clothes Rob Evors has in the film simply are the closest real-life equivalent to the ones John is wearing in the promotional pictures that the movie’s costume designers could get their hands on. Like in the development sketches for the “Last-Supper-like” images, his shirt is light-colored (but still blue, apparently) and he’s wearing his sunglasses normally, not on his head. They don’t seem to have blue lenses, but again, maybe the team could only find “regular” sunglasses. He has his Eden’s Gage belt buckle and earring, but instead of being grey, his coat, vest, pants, and shoes are brown/beige. The coat is decorated with “EG” logos, exactly like the one John is wearing in the promotional pictures, but lighter in color.
As for his tattoos, they are identical to the “old” ones we’ve seen so far, but two more are visible: the pair of scales on the side of his thumb and the snake (from the Taolennoù Ar Mission again, but uncoiled), which represents Envy, around his left wrist. These two new tattoos will be part of John’s final design in the game.
Tumblr media
There’s another one between the snake and his watch, but it’s simply one of Rob Evors’¹³.
In the film, John’s tattoos were actually hand-painted¹⁴. Here’s a better look a them, from Makeup Artist Casey Lynn Stuckey’s Instagram account:
Tumblr media
His sleeves are never rolled up in Inside Eden’s Gate, but it’s most likely because that would have meant covering up the actor’s actual tattoos and possibly painting more, so I suppose they thought it was more convenient to just hide them.
The last notable change regarding John’s appearance in the short film is that, for the first and seemingly only time, he’s wearing a shoulder holster, but his gun is not the revolver we’ve seen for far. Instead, it looks like a semi-automatic pistol, maybe a 1911. Since, in Inside Eden’s Gate, Joseph also has this type of gun and not the revolver he carries in Far Cry 5 (albeit rarely, and he never uses it), it’s possible that, once again, the team couldn’t find the right weapons for the movie and used the available props.
Tumblr media
In the live-action TV spot “Anything Can Happen, Everything Will”¹⁵, John is this time played by model and actor Jon Oswald, who jokingly described the character as “the asshole in the Gucci trench coat” when he shared the video on his Instagram account¹⁶.
Tumblr media
John’s outfit looks identical to Rob Evors’ in Inside Eden’s Gate (except the shoes and the holster, it seems), so it’s likely that they just reused the same clothes. Like in the film, John’s sunglasses (which are not blue) aren’t on his head; he’s wearing them. His hair is a bit different, but it’s probably simply because Jon Oswald’s hairstyle looked close enough to John’s and they thought it didn’t need to be modified, so I don’t think this “change” is significant.
Thanks to the pictures that Mackenzie Lawrén Johnson (better known as Kenz Lawrén), who plays Faith Seed in the short film and the TV spot, posted on Instagram¹⁷, we can have a better look at him and his tattoos.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They haven’t changed much compared to the previous ones, but we can now see a goat (a symbol for Lust, also directly from the Taolennoù Ar Mission) next to the snake on his left arm. In the game, the goat will disappear from his hand, be redesigned, and end up on his right forearm. We see two other tattoos in the picture, but they simply are Jon Oswald’s¹⁸.
Tumblr media
In the image below, drawn by Anthony Winn, who made storyboards for the TV spot¹⁹, the character on the far right (who is not Joseph), wearing a vest and sunglasses, and standing next to a woman who is probably Faith, appears to be an early version of John. This time, he’s holding a rifle, different from the one described in Absolution, and not a handgun. For once, his sister is armed as well.
Tumblr media
In The Book of Joseph²⁰, John, as a child, is described as “the best looking, the least odd” of the Seed brothers, which is why the narrator, Joseph himself, believes he was adopted first after they were sent to an orphanage. When they meet again as adults, Joseph says his younger brother is “strikingly handsome, elegant”, wears “tailored suits” and very expensive shoes, has gleaming hair, shiny teeth, and manicured hands. He also writes that, as John Duncan (the name of his adoptive parents), “physically, he was society’s very model of success”. Psychologically, however, it was another story… but this will be discussed later. Although the John Seed we meet in the game isn’t exactly the same person as John Duncan was anymore, he’s still “elegant” and seems to take care of his appearance. Joseph doesn’t mention tattoos, but it’s likely that John got them later, after the Project was created.
An official guide for Far Cry 5, by Prima Games, was released alongside it. In the book, which was written in 2017, we get to see what John looked like when the game was still in development.
Tumblr media
This design is very close to the final one, but for some reason, his sunglasses, bunker key, earring, and tattoos are all (temporarily) gone. However, the “SLOTH” scar has now appeared on his chest instead of the tattoo he previously had, even though it’s a bit closer to his collarbone than it will be in the game. His outfit and facial features look slightly different, but this is also true for many other characters in the guide.
On IGN’s YouTube channel, a video titled “Far Cry 5: Why John Seed Is Your Charmingly Deadly Enemy” was uploaded in February 2018²¹. In it, we get a glimpse of an early version of the “You have been Marked” TV broadcast²², and although the setting looks different, John’s appearance is very close to his final one.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
By the way, if you look at the noticeboard behind the TV, you’ll see that the Testicle Festival was supposed to take place in 2017 instead of 2018. When this early in-game footage was recorded, Far Cry 5 was probably still scheduled to come out in September 2017 (which is what the first rumors said and could also explain why all the calendars in the game suggest we are in September).
In the thumbnail of the YouTube video, John looks exactly like himself:
Tumblr media
He does too in the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” artwork²³, this promotional screenshot²⁴, and this poster²⁵:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And in a trailer posted by Ubisoft three weeks before the release of Far Cry 5, a “character spotlight”²⁶, John has his final design as well. The only difference is that, although the game was about to come out, they still called him “The Inquisitor” instead of “The Baptist”.
Tumblr media
Then, on March 27, 2018, Far Cry 5 was released.
To be continued…

"Masked" Teaser
Tumblr media
Here's a taste of what's to come. You're welcome. Let me know if you want tagged
18+ below the cut
TAGS: @poisongirl616 @lma1986 @thefallennightmare @foliosgirl @xxkittenkissesxx @concreteemo @reyadawn
You arched your back toward him, bringing your sex closer to his partially hard length, hoping he'd get the message. And he did. Forcing his knee between your legs to spread them, Folio shifted around beneath the sheets until you felt what you had been craving. Folio grabbed your leg and hooked around his waist and with a few slow pumps to his shaft, he entered you, lowering his head at the way your tight walls slid over his fully hard cock. Quietly, you whimpered, nails digging into his biceps as he slowly and sweetly fucked you. 
“God, I love fucking morning sex with you, sweetheart. It feels so fucking good,” Folio moaned, burying his face in your neck. 
You bit back a few moans, already a panting mess for him, wrapping your arms tightly around his neck when he completely fell into you. Gathering you up into his arms, he quickly flipped until you were on top of him, naked body fully exposed to his eyes, hands, and mouth. It didn’t take long for his calloused drummer's hands to find your tits. He palmed them, closing his fingers entirely around them as you sank all the way down onto his erection and began to slowly ride him. At this angle, you could feel the hard tip of Folio’s cock, buried so deeply inside you, hitting your back wall that you couldn’t hold in the strangled noises anymore.
“Holy shit you sound beautiful, baby.” 
You placed your hands flat on each wing of the eagle painted on his chest, grinding yourself hard against him. You were so wet that the only other sound besides the hot, heavy breathing of you and Nick was the slapping of your pussy against his groin. Nick helped you ride him with his hands gripping your hips to pull you back and forth against him. 
“Fast, baby, please, I need you to fuck me fast and hard,” he begged, sitting up by tucking his arms underneath yours and holding onto your shoulders. He buried his face in your tits using his mouth and tongue to suck and lick them at his disposal, teasing your nipples by nipping the ends of their hardened peeks with his teeth before circling them with his tongue. You cried out in ecstasy, grasping the back of his head to keep him there. Your arousal was at full peak and you were ready to climax and spill your cum all over Folio’s cock. 
“Nick, baby,” you whined, releasing your hold on his head. ‘Fuuuck… I’m about to cum, Nicky.” 
“Uh-uh, not on my dick,” he growled, suddenly pulling you off him and lifting you higher up over him. 
“Fuck my face, baby and let me make you cum in my mouth.”
Folio’s demand had the fire in your abdomen growing rapidly. Your legs shook, trembling from the way your body against his. 
___________________________________________________________
Noah:
“Look at her. She's so fucking gorgeous sitting there with her head back and mouth opened, waiting for our cum.” 
I stroked her face, humming in approval when she leaned into my touch. The sight of her on her knees before us, wearing nothing but her bra and panties with her hands tied behind her back was a sight to behold; one that I'd been dying to see since the day I first met her. 
“Who’s going first?” Folio asked.
 I turned to him, feeling like I was staring into a mirror. The black ski mask covered most of his face. Only  his eyes and mouth were visible, with a little bit of skin showing around each. Our band's white logo, symbols of death, peace, and mind, stood out among all of the black like a scarlet letter, baring the images of sexual perversion and degradation, in her mind, no doubt. 
“Why don't you go first? Show me how good her mouth can fuck.” 
Folio nodded, undoing the button of his black jeans. 
I shifted my gaze back to her, staring directly into her dark orbs that were wantonly awakened. The small smile, trapped in the corners of her intoxicating mouth, made the flutter in the pit of my stomach reach my cock. It twitched, throbbing with such an ache for release that I was quickly losing all composure. Her eyes dropped, following my hand as I palmed my erection hidden beneath my black stage pants. The way she stared, narrowing those beautiful eyes and clenching her jaw, made the fire slowly burning through my veins ignite into a hot blaze. I wanted my turn with her. I wanted to feel her fuck me with her mouth until she was gagging and spitting as I gripped her by the hair to keep her in place. But I needed to watch first. Watch her fuck her lover, who happened to be like a brother to me, and make him cum either in her mouth or all over breasts and thighs. Either way, it would be my turn after that, one of the very many I was free to have with her just for tonight.

November 13, 2023 (released) -
Jk performed on Audacy Live (and did an amazing job!). Eagle eyes noted that, once again, a V briefly appears on the wall of his set. There’s been at least three instances of a “V” showing up during Jk’s “Golden” promos, to the point I don’t think it's a coincidence and want to archive this (though, as usual, please decide as you like).
The first instance was the custom wall that contains Jk’s tattoos + things he likes that were described by him as being “meaningful things.”
Tumblr media
This photo was released as part of the concept photos for “Golden: Substance.” K media noted the following about the concept photo, “The final set of concept photos, titled “SUBSTANCE,” arrived Saturday and features the BTS member posing against a graffiti backdrop with numbers and words that are special to him, such as 0613 (BTS’ anniversary date), ’97 (his birth year) and the logo for BTS ARMY.”
A notable “V” in gold is included in the backdrop. As noted previously, I don’t typically like to analyze tattoos, but a lot have consistently said over the years that the inverted A in Jk’s ARMY tattoo is a V, which was confirmed in this backdrop (+ it’s in a golden color, like the album name). (Side note: I adore that he’s now able to more freely and comfortably show off his tattoos).

Random musing but I found it interesting Jk looks in the direction of the “V” once he passes it, as if he wants to draw attention to it.

Also interesting to note is the letter “J” that also appears in the Audacy Live performance, which is better seen when the image is brightened up.
Tumblr media
Just like there’s a J near the V in his concept photo!

Hard-light Heartline
(2024-02-20) MSPFA | Eagle Time
(Check below the break for some important information!)
Tumblr media
you are a RIGHTEOUS ROOMIE. you're chillin. in your ROOM. things are pretty good! no problems here.
Tumblr media
This week's been great! You spent it eating takeout and messing with your GUITARS. It's what you do every week, but that's never bothered you before. It's been a good night. What day of the week is it again? Oh right, it's the day where you're expecting a PACKAGE! That's definitely something that's happening now that wasn't happening last week.
---------------------
Well, hello there! It's Waterworks' 14th anniversary, and I was thinking it might finally be time to try something just a little bit different.
Eagle-Time came back (as https://eagle-time.org, so update your bookmarks if you haven't deleted them yet); I'll be watching for suggestions both there, here, on MSPFA, and generally wherever my eyes happen to be. Additionally, I will need to update the information on all three sites and ensure they link together properly. I'm not going to post full updates here on tumblr, but I will post a link to MSPFA and Eagle Time just like before. I also need to take the time to design a logo/thumbnail, and figure out an issue with my webhost that's preventing images from loading 100% of the time. I suppose some cobwebs have built up.
With all that out of the way, there are a few key points.
This isn't Waterworks. I don't intend for this adventure to be comparable in size or scope to Waterworks. I've been yearning to just sit back and tell a story, so that's what I'm going to do.
There will be no Flash animations and gif output will be limited. As much as I love Flash, fighting with the pressure to turn every cool idea into an epic animation has taken its toll on me. I'm going to nip this in the bud and say that there will be no Flash animations at all. There will be gifs, but they will be toned down to keep stress at a manageable level - The adventure will run locked at 18fps, and I will not use any colour gradients. There's some cool stuff you can still do at 18fps. If you're disheartened about the lack of full animations with sound, I'd like to direct you to a musician named Nstryder. I'm a fan of his music and have listened to a lot of it while scoping out the adventure. His music has been an excellent inspiration and I'll try to call some of it out when I hit relevant points in the adventure.
Regular updates will be attempted, but not guaranteed. The adventure itself will also have a set lifetime, whether or not it ends up finished. This one's hard for me. Life has happened. As much as I would like to update every day, it simply isn't possible. But I'm still going to try. I've set a weekly quota for myself to meet (but I'm keeping it to myself for now). If I can't make a day, I will communicate the delay on tumblr as soon as I am able. Additionally - I don't want this adventure to stretch out way past its prime. I've got a tentative end-date in mind for when to shut things off (regardless of the adventure's status), but I'm not willing to commit to it just yet. I'm gonna see how these next few weeks go and build some confidence before settling on a particular date.
I think that's it for now. I've gotta go fix that network error. I'll try to shape up everything else as the week progresses.
Welcome back.

discussed all this with another outlast pal but we've been thinking a. bradley avellanos (as she was finally revealed in the villains trailer) may have the first name alice, since she serves as the quintessential alice archetype of mkultra in the trials as a guide to the reagents. she is the first character we are introduced to in our first trial.
easterman may be a secret fourth prime asset himself and unaware of his position, the "man" archetype in the tetramorph the prime assets form. gooseberry the eagle, coyle the lion, and whitehorn the bull. (futterman being a goose, lion iconography in the courthouse, whitehorn's oil company quite literally having a bull as the logo.) although he believes he is controlling the experiment, as illustrated in the documents, he is clearly under the surveillance and influence of avellanos and wernicke, further proven in the trailer by their partnered observation of the sinyala facility.
avellanos has also established herself as a force reagents are intended to trust while easterman is their tormenter. they are driven to protect her from legal repercussions, evidenced in the courthouse trial. easterman may think he is creating his own army under murkoff's nose, but they are being conditioned to serve her.
taken a step further, avellanos and easterman mirror the mother/father dichotomy that gooseberry and coyle themselves portray. easterman clearly seems to favor coyle's enthusiasm while gooseberry rails against her conditioning and expresses anger; this could be a precursor to knoth's cult deriving from the patriarchal order of coyle as opposed to the matriarchal chaos of val and her disciples, who serve as the spiritual successor of gooseberry.
we've also discussed the bonkers idea that perhaps avellanos also shares a connection with joanne and alison marion as their respective mother and grandmother. she may have been affected by her proximity to the engine, their blood disease derived from the original sinyala experiments and monitored over generations by murkoff.
perhaps she's still alive by the time of outlast 3 and helen grant is her protegee, instructed to keep eyes on the marion family through her right hand agent pauline, since pauline explains in the comics that paul was always her target since the inception of their partnership.
i think this would be an incredibly clever way to affirm simon's claim that alice is directly connected to sinyala. if she is truly a descendant of avellanos, changed by the morphogenic engine, perhaps the reagent network may be under alice marion's control after all. this may set her up to be the spider eyed lamb the testament feared.

Tumblr media
choso heaved a heavy, tired sigh, letting his weight fall backward into his pillows- big, fluffy, and covered in black satin pillowcases. he let out a content, grateful, and utterly exhausted moan, followed by a big yawn. he stretched his arms up toward the ceiling, then let them fall limp on either side of his body, putting him in a comfortable sort of spread-eagle position.
choso simply lay there for a while, fifteen minutes passing where he didn't think at all. he simply lay there, existing. then a thought crossed his exhaustion-clouded mind.
he'll be home soon.
i can tell him.
choso grinned excitedly, rolling over onto his side and staring over at the bedroom door. after a (really) long moment he blushed a color similar to the youtube logo, a grin spreading onto his face. he rolled over onto his back, smiling happily, then he took four seconds for his lungs to inhale a deep breath. he held it in for four seconds, then let it out, taking about six seconds to completely exhale all the carbon dioxide. he closed his eyes, finally letting himself fall asleep- he slipped gently into a light, soft slumber.
but that one thought… "i can tell him…"
that thought lingered in the front of choso's mind, a feeling similar to the effects of a happy pill befalling his body- but without the inconvenient side effects.
----------
you lingered on the doorstep of your shared apartment for a moment, yawning loudly before quickly unlocking the door to the apartment, stepping swiftly inside and closing the door behind you. you slipped quietly into the bedroom- quietly as you could, of course, because you knew for a fact that your roommate was asleep on the bed. you wouldn't have even had to look to know- he was snoring the same way you used to.
you dropped your bag onto the desk next to the book shelf, entering the en-suite bathroom.
you bent over the sink, groaning quietly into your shirt before pulling it over your head and tossing it into the hamper outside the bathroom door. you then went straight back to the sink, turning on the hot water. you filled up your cupped hands with hot water, tossing it upward and splashing it on your face. you turned and walked a couple feet and bent over the shower, shakng your head like a cat who fell into the tub. you turned again ad went to leave the bathroom, but as you reached the doorway into the bedroom your hand froze over the bathroom light switch, your face turned bright red, and your eyes widened, your heart starting to race.
choso was naked in bed, and he hadn't even pulled the covers up over himself.
well.. he had his black boxer shorts on… but nothing else.
he was otherwise completely naked, sprawled out comfortably on the bed you and he shared, in a cute sort of spread-eagle position.
choso's body was illuminated in pale white moonlight, his thickly muscled body shining in the light of the full supermoon.
you tried your very best not to look, you really did- but your efforts were futile.
"like whatcha see, bunny?"
your heart stopped for a second.
"you look absolutely delectable with that blush on your face, m/n. it makes me wanna take you for myself."
"i-um-" you started to say something to try to defend yourself, but the part of you that knew he wouldn't bully you over it shut you up real quick.
choso grinned, sitting up on his elbows and looking right at you, making direct eye contact with you.
your face turned an even more violent shade of red, now exceeding the vibrance of a japanese shrine.
choso giggled, sitting up completely in bed he stared fondly at you for a moment, then got up rather quickly and without very much warning. he made a casual, slowish beeline for you, grabbing you by the waist and pulling you flush against his chest. his hands slid up your sides, shoulders and neck, then he cupped your face in his big, warm hands, forcing you to look at him. he waited a moment, letting you catch your breath- then he stole it from you lasciviously, bending down and stealing your lips in a hot, passionate, heart-skipping kiss.
"i love you, m/n." he said simply into your lips, picking you up by your waist and pressing you against the wall, making you wrap your legs around his waist reflexively. your arms went upward entirely non-reflexively and of their own accord, wrapping around his neck and pulling him closer to you, deepening the kiss deliciously.
choso growled possessively into your mouth, purposely making you moan. he used this opportunity to slip his tongue into your mouth, squeezing your thighs with both hands before one hand went up and tangled into your hair. he yanked softly on the hair on the back of your head, right near the baby hairs, making you moan loudly into his mouth.
choso did let you breathe- eventually. before that, he spent a few seconds kissing you roughly and heatedly one more time before dropping you carefully back onto your feet and holding you avariciously against the wall with both hands on your waist. he touched his forehead to the top of your forehead right next to your hairline- he was that much taller than you- and looked into your eyes, trying to control his own breathing and heartbeat as he waited for you to say it back.
he knew you felt the same way, after all. he was a hundred and fifty-four years old, he had learned over a century ago how to read people's emotions toward him.
your chest heaved as you tried to control your breath, which had become sort of ragged and heavy as you looked up into choso's eyes, trying to find the strength to speak.
you grinned, putting your hands on his head and letting your fingers tangle into his thick, pretty black hair. you pulled him down and pressed your lips against his again, whimpering needily into the kiss in response to another low, possessive, heated growl that ripped from the bottom of choso's chest.
you let your heart slow down to its normal speed, then took another moment for your own emotions before you responded, smiling and pulling choso almost impossibly closer.
"i love you too, choso.." you pretty much whispered, blushing furiously as you tried really hard not to panic in response to the words that had just come out of your mouth.
choso grinned, hugging you tightly and picking you up again. he carried you effortlessly backward to the bed, dropping you carefully onto the black satin bedsheets.
"ugh, you're so god damned hot, cho…"
"cho?" choso repeated teasingly, "is that the first time you've called me that, m/n? or is your mouth moving faster than your heart and head?"
you blushed, pouting and looking away furiously. "no…" you spat, trying to keep up the facade, "i'm jus'- i thought it was cute. so i decided to call you cho."
choso's grin widened and he giggled, kissing you roughly before growling quietly against your lips, "say that again, i liked it." his voice was low, deep and husky, telling you that he had been in a pretty deep sleep before you had come home. the sound of his voice sent a shiver of heat and anticipation down your spine, blood rushing downward in your body.
"you're so hot, cho…" you whined into his lips, moaning whoreishly into his mouth when he used the opportunity to slip his tongue into your mouth again, his hand wrapping around your throat and squeezing ever so lightly.
"you're mine now, m/n." he hissed into your lips, wrapping his arms around your waist and hugging you tightly.
you grinned, hugging him just as tightly. "and you're mine."
"i can settle with that, kitten…" he purred into your ear, grinning when he felt your face heat up.
you grinned, blushing. "kitten? is that the first time you've called me that, choso? or is your mouth moving faster than your heart and head?"
choso chuckled, grinning widely as you mirrored his earlier cheeky comment. he slapped your cheek lightly, licking your neck.
"no, i've called you that before… i just so happen to own a diary, and no, kitten, you're not allowed to read it."
you snorted, kicking choso's cheek. "pff, i'm good. i'd rather find out the things you dream about doing to me in real time."choso's grin widened to the point where it kind of hurt, but he didn't care. he finally had you all to himself…
and he was never going to let go of you.
"mine."

FINDING YOU Chapter 11
Tumblr media
Summary: You're in a relationship with Steve Rogers, but his best friend just always seems to be around!
Word Count: 5k
Warnings: massive physical trauma, hospitals
MASTERLIST
CHAPTER 11
You knocked on his apartment door. "Bucky?" you called through the crack, not wanting to disturb his neighbors.
Bucky never invited you over. He had moved out of your building very soon after Peggy's arrival and ever since you'd become friends, you had tried very hard to gain access into his abode. But Bucky had thwarted your every mention of coming over and you were very curious about where he lived. There was always the option of showing up uninvited, but you knew that it would be a violation of his trust. Bucky had been an incredible friend to you but he had some clear boundaries and you were definitely going to respect them.
It felt as though things had changed between you recently, particularly since the dream you’d had. It was as though you were noticing things about your friend for the first time; the way this eyes crinkled when he had a genuine smile plastered across his face, the way he tilted his head slightly to one side when he was really concentrating on what someone was saying, the two vertical lines what graced his brow when he was confused, which happened quite a lot, Bucky was struggling with twenty first century society.
You found yourself wanting to spend more and more time with him, a day that went by without an interaction with him felt like an incomplete day. So when he'd asked you to come over and help him out, you had said yes without hesitation. 
The door swung open as you leaned against it trying to listen for movement inside. You almost fell over with the unexpected lack of resistance. Why was the door open? Was there someone inside?
“Buck?” you called out cautiously.
The apartment was oddly sparse, almost like no one had truly moved in. There was one chair next to a small dining table and an armchair.
“Bucky? Are you here?” you spoke again, not shouting.
His enhanced hearing meant that he would hear you anywhere in the tiny living space he called home. You could tell there wasn’t much more than the area you could see. A fleeting question entered your mind: had he been robbed? Unlikely was the answer, the television remained untouched, in fact there was a small layer of dust across the top of it. You felt less worried about an intruder at this point, but it would be best to scope out the rest of the space, just in case. Was it a justification for you to snoop around? Probably not, but it was better to be safe than sorry. You crept across the room to the bedroom and pushed the door ajar.
“Bucky? If you’re in there, you’d better not be doing anything that I don’t want to see.”
Why did you say that? What a ridiculous thing to say!
You were saved any embarrassment, the room was empty except for boxes of clothes. Was he moving? The situation was very confusing and you were starting to worry about Bucky’s absence. It seemed unlike him to leave his door open, even though there wasn’t much of value in the apartment for someone to take.
Just as you were about to leave the bedroom, a smaller box caught your eye. It was partially open and there were S.H.I.E.L.D. files inside. You would recognize that eagle logo anywhere. Why did Bucky have S.H.I.E.L.D. files in his apartment? It was almost as though your body was acting on autopilot, you reached out and picked up the top file. Working for the peacekeeping and spy agency for so many years, it had become second nature for you to seek information, and in that moment it didn’t even occur to you that your actions were grossly invading your friend’s privacy.
The file wasn’t very thick as you opened the cover. In the front were a few photographs of Bucky and Steve, they were both laughing and looked relaxed, it made you smile. You could tell it was before Bucky had been taken by HYDRA and you’d wished that you could make Bucky smile that way again. There was an army ID and a photo of Bucky which was probably taken when he had first been drafted, he looked so young and carefree. You flipped over a few pages which were all in Russian until you came across another photograph, this one was a full page image of the Winter Soldier encased in a metal cryostasis chamber. You could see Bucky’s face, through a small piece of glass, his long hair flat on either side of his face. He looked surprisingly peaceful as he slept, something you knew he didn’t get much of since his escape.
Just as you were wondering if he had made any progress with his nightmares when you heard a disgruntled throat clearing. You looked up and realized Bucky was standing over you watching you. As soon as you saw his face, you knew you’d not only breached his privacy but his trust as well.
“Buck,” you gasped. “I’m-”
He didn’t give you a chance to apologize, he turned on his heels and left the apartment.
“Shit!” you shouted, more at yourself than at anyone in particular. You scrambled to get off the floor and chase after your friend. 
You wrenched open the door, but Bucky had all but disappeared. Venturing down the hall you glanced at the closed doors of the apartments along the hall, there was no way Bucky would have taken refuge behind any of them, he must have made his way out of the building. You scurried down the stairs, your heart pounding, not from the exertion, but the image of Bucky’s face filled with disappointment and betrayal burned on your retinas.
Bursting through the front door of the building you looked around wildly, searching for any sign of your best friend. But Bucky hadn’t been called a master marksman and assassin for no reason, HYDRA may have manipulated his mind, but his skill was definitely his own. If Bucky didn’t want to be found, you didn’t stand a chance of locating him. You had no idea what to do except to stand helplessly outside the apartment building hating yourself for your inquisitiveness.
For a second you cursed your stupidity, then pulled out your phone to call him. The dial tone is the only sound that greeted your ears until you got a standard voicemail message.
“Bucky,” you started talking rather tearfully. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to snoop through your things. It was wrong. Please call me back. Please, Buck. I’m sorry.”
You hung up dismally, knowing that he wouldn’t be calling you back. That just wasn’t who Bucky was. As you stood there feeling sorry for yourself, your phone started ringing. Your eyes widened.
“Bucky?” you answered without reading the screen.
“Ace, it’s Steve.”
“Oh, hi,” Disappointment was evident in your voice.
“I know you weren’t expecting me, but we need your help." Steve sounded stressed. "There is a bomb threat at S.H.I.E.L.D. office building by LaGuardia airport. We need everyone's help evacuating. Bucky's already on his way."
"Text me the location. I'm on my way."
Tumblr media
“Bucky!” you screamed. “Bucky!”
You ran across the rubble screaming out your best friend's name. Your voice cracked as you became more and more desperate. The concrete remains of the S.H.I.E.L.D. office crumbled under your feet and you froze, lost in a trance, immobilized by anxiety and fear. Steve's hands on your shoulders brought you back to reality. One you didn't want to face. Lines of worry were etched across Steve's face, his concern matching your own.
Panic was starting to bubble up inside you as the implications of the scene in front of you started to sink in. How could everyone just stand there? Someone had to help him!
With that thought, you tried to push away Steve's arms. The grip his hands had on you was tighter than expected, almost painfully so and you only started to notice it.
"Steve!" You pushed at this chest. "Get off me!"
Ignoring the anguish on his features, you turned towards the large chunks of debris and began lifting the wreckage away from the center. You started with your fingers until the concrete started getting too heavy for you, the sharp edges ripping your palms. A little blood wasn't going to stop you. You used your powers to attack the heavier pieces, brick by brick. It wasn't until you were struggling with what looked like a whole ceiling that you noticed that you had help. Steve was beside you, his arms shaking with the force he was using to lift. One coordinated exertion and together you were able to shift the weight, but it took a lot of energy and you sank down to the floor, tears streaming down your face.
“Get up.” Steve’s voice was quiet but firm. He crouched down in front of you and held out his hand. “Come on.”
Your knees wobbled, but Steve was right by your side, supporting you. “Thanks.” You dropped his hand as soon as you knew that your legs wouldn’t give way, resuming your excavation.
Hours had passed and you were feeling more and more desolate at the prospect of finding Bucky alive. Steve worked beside you in silence. Neither of you voiced how you felt, clinging to a modicum of hope that your friend was still alive.
As you worked you couldn’t stop thinking about Bucky; everything he had been through and how hard he had worked to escape from this traumatic past. He had been your rock after things had ended with Steve and you had never considered how much you relied on him over the last year until now. You hadn’t once stopped to thank him for his unwavering support, for putting up with your irrational behavior or your fits of melancholy. And what was worse, how he had looked at you before he left.
Why had he spent all those months tolerating you?
Particularly since he had never shown any signs of wanting any form of relationship with you before. He had given you a taste of an amazing friendship and now he was going to take that all from you.
How did he expect you to do this without him?
You already missed him; his warmth, his dependability, his staunch loyalty, his ocean blue eyes and the way they glimmered when he smiled at you. In that moment, you’d have given anything to have him smile at you one more time.
“Please,” you begged. Your teeth gritted, you muttered repeatedly under your breath. “Please Bucky. Please be alive. I need you. Please.”
You didn’t care that Steve could hear you. You didn’t care that you had blood leaking from the gashes on your knees. You didn’t care about the dust that smeared your face. All you cared about was finding Bucky.
“Quiet!” Steve’s voice penetrated your rumination.
Your eyes snapped up towards him and he held up his hand, listening with his head cocked to one side. You did the same, but the silence was deafening. Had his super soldier hearing picked up something yours hadn’t?
“Steve!” you hissed at him impatiently.
Steve dropped to his knees, focusing on a small area of rubble. You didn’t hesitate in helping him. Just when you thought you had made some progress, the ground beneath you started shaking and the two of you froze like a hare caught in headlights.
“Can you tell what’s underneath?” he asked.
“I’ll try.” 
Cautiously you used your powers to feel around under your feet, probing the gaps gently, searching for signs of weakness in the ground. You reached out longing to get some sign of his presence, even if it was the cold metal of his vibranium arm. Instead all you could detect was a void.
“There’s some kind of air pocket under this. I can’t tell if he-” you stopped, breath shuddering as you struggled to keep control.
“OK, we just need to get underneath without this collapsing into it. There has to be another way.”
You watched as Steve lithely leapt from one pile of debris to the next, barely dislodging a stone. You weren’t sure if you admired his ability to stay calm and focused or despised his detachment to the urgency of the situation. You knew he cared deeply for Bucky but you just couldn’t understand how he was able to stop the anxiety from making him implode.
“Ace!”
You followed his beckoning hand, not quite as surefooted, but you were careful not to cause too much disruption. Working with Steve felt natural, you had always been in sync when it came to the physical. It felt as though you were one mind, acting seamlessly to achieve your shared goal.
A small flash of gold caught your eye.
“Steve, over there!”
You were ready to rush across, but a large hand wrapped around your arm stopped you.
“We need to be careful, or this whole thing will come down and kill us all.”
You pulled out your phone, turning on the light.
“Bucky!”
He was there, barely ten feet in front of you, sprawled out, pinned under a large steel beam. This time Steve called out his name again, and amidst the eerie quiet, you caught a small sound.
"Stebe?"
Both of you forgot caution at that moment and stumbled forwards towards your friend.
"Bucky?" You dropped to your knees, ignoring the rocky floor and the stinging in your legs.
"Hey," Bucky's eyes were open, and he gave you one of his half smiles before it turned into a grimace. 
You reached over and took his right hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. “We’re going to get you out of this dump. Ok?”
“Roger that.”
His face was covered in blood. There was a large cut in his temple and you were pretty sure his nose was broken. But as messy and frightened as all the blood looked, your main concern was the metal trapping his leg and torso. You bit your lip to stop it from quivering as waves of concern threatened to drag you under.
“You alright?” Bucky asked. “You don’t look so good.”
You laughed which came out as half a sob. “You’re one to talk.”
“How does it look?”
“It’s going to be fine.” You smiled weakly. LIES! It was written all over your face. He had been under the bar for at least four hours now and his leg was definitely broken. He had probably already started suffering from crush syndrome and lifting the bar would mean that the toxins would start flooding through his system. The other option would be to amputate his leg. The thought flashed through your mind and you dismissed it almost immediately, you wouldn’t be the one responsible for Bucky losing another limb. 
“I can lift this off. Can you pull him out?” Steve asked.
“Hang on a minute.”
“We need a base board, it will be easier to carry him so his leg doesn’t move too much. Will you go and get one from the bus?”
“Yeah.”
“Steve-” you stopped him as he started walking away. “Make sure they’re ready to go?”
He nodded and disappeared. And you turned back to Bucky.
“Buck, you still with me?”
“Always.” His voice seemed weaker, less coherent. He didn’t open his eyes.
“Bucky, come on. I'm sorry for what happened. Please Buck, open your eyes.”
“Glad you came.” His words were slurred.
“Buck. Bucky!”
Your heart was pounding so hard that you didn’t hear Steve’s return. Everything that happened next was you acting on autopilot. Steve was able to lift the bar long enough for you to drag Bucky from under it. Together you grabbed one end of the board each and hotfooted it out of the pit, not caring about the fact that everything was crumbling around you. Bucky was hustled into the back of an ambulance within minutes and you were squashed in the back with Steve by your side.
Tumblr media
The next moments, hours, days were all a blur in your memory. You barely registered Steve leading you into a treatment room at the hospital, having your wounds cleaned and dressed. It was days before Bucky was stable enough for surgery and sitting outside the ICU felt like an eternity of torture. It was your fault he had been in there in the first place. You were responsible for all of this. If you'd been there together, you could have helped him.
No one could convince you to leave, you didn’t care that you were covered in grime, the only clear areas on your face were the line where your tears had flowed. To your surprise, Steve hadn’t left your side. You suspected that he needed your support as much as you needed his. Bucky didn’t have many friends and the only other person who visited during that time was Sam.
Peggy had tried several times to get Steve to leave and clean himself up, but her attempts had been unsuccessful. May hadn’t bothered trying, mostly showing up to drop off food and disgusted looks. She did however bring in toiletries and a change of clothes, which meant you and Steve could wash yourselves without leaving the hospital. A few days of gnawing worry and sleepless nights and Bucky’s labs had started showing an improvement and he was moved out of the ICU. But he still hadn’t regained consciousness.
You fell asleep at his bedside, your arm slung over the back of your chair, a bit of saliva hanging from the corner of your mouth. A loud snore escaped your mouth and you woke up with a start, feeling embarrassed as you noticed Steve smothering a smile.
“Shut up, Rogers.” You glanced at Bucky, hoping for a response from him. There was nothing.
“Hey, it’s nothing I haven’t heard before,” he smirked.
You scowled at him.
“Why don’t you go home and take a nap.”
“I’m fine.” You had no desire to leave.
“Maybe you can go home and take a shower.” May said from behind you. “I’m not sure Barnes will appreciate the smell in this room.”
“Fine,” you conceded after a few moments of silence. “I’ll go and shower.”
“At home,” May glared at you pointedly.
You hated that May knew you well enough that you wanted to sneak into the doctor’s locker room to use their showers. 
“You’d better call me if something happens,” you frowned at Steve.
He nodded and you left, albeit reluctantly, with May who agreed to drive you.
Tumblr media
Steve settled back in his chair, picking up his small sketch pad and turned his attention back on the doodle he had started on. 
“Steve?” Bucky’s eyes were open and he was searching the room.
“Hey pal.” Steve’s face lit up with a smile and pulled his chair closer to Bucky. “How’re you feeling?”
“Like a building fell on me.”
Steve chuckled. “Glad you have you back with us. You gave us quite a scare.”
“Us?” Bucky asked hopefully, his eyes scanning the room again looking for signs of your presence.
“May ordered her to go home and shower.”
“I was wondering about the smell.”
They smiled at each other briefly.
“Is she ok?” Bucky asked tentatively.
“Yeah. Worried about you.”
“Not enough to be here,” Bucky muttered sullenly. It was under his breath, but Steve caught the gist.
“Don’t do that.”
“Do what?”
“Act like you’re not worth people’s concern. You are Buck. Ace cares about you too.”
Bucky scoffed. “Even if she did, it’s not my place...” he trailed off, hoping Steve didn’t catch on to what he had meant.
“What? What does that even mean? Bucky, I can see how much you care about her. Everyone can! Don't miss your chance to do something about it.” Steve sighed heavily. After a few moments of silence, he said, “I regret how things ended with her.”
“Do you still love her?”
Steve was silent, but Bucky knew the answer. How could he not?
“I made my choice,” Steve sighed again.
Bucky wanted to reach out and comfort this friend, but Steve was on his left and his arm had been removed.
“It doesn’t matter, she doesn’t feel the same way.”
“Ace cares about you, and I think she’s just realized how much. Give her some time.”
Bucky looked skeptical but acquiesced. “And you’d be ok with this?”
Steve shrugged. “I want you both to be happy.”
The two men settled into a comfortable silence, Steve resuming his sketching and Bucky closed his eyes trying to ignore the pain he was feeling and pushing away the small spark of hope that Steve had ignited in him.
Tumblr media
You’d spent under ten minutes in the shower, washing your hair but neglecting to use a conditioner. It was a decision you’d later regret, but you could live with the inconvenience. Being away from Bucky wasn’t something you’d be able to deal with if something happened while you were away. 
The blinds to his room were partially drawn and a feeling of dread flooded your senses. You cautiously opened the door and everything looked exactly how you’d left it. Your heart rate dropped a few notches. Steve looked up and smiled, glancing over at Bucky who hadn't opened his eyes again.
You walked over and gently placed your hand on his foot, smoothing the blanket around it with your other hand. 
“Nothing changed while I was gone?” you asked dismally.
You eventually looked up at Steve, who raised an eyebrow at you before tilting his head in Bucky’s direction. You followed his nod and made eye contact with Bucky. A soft smile spread across his face, barely hidden by the facial hair which had grown over the last few days.
Your lip trembled slightly, as you clamped down on it with your teeth, trying to stop from bursting into tears.
“Hey Ace.” Bucky’s voice was quiet, still weak from his blood loss. Any normal human wouldn’t have survived what Bucky had been through.
“Bucky,” your voice was barely a whisper. You fought the urge to throw yourself at him in a hug. He had several broken ribs, and despite his rapid metabolism and super soldier healing abilities, it would be far from comfortable for him.
Bucky turned his hand over on the bed, extending his fingers towards you. Nervously you placed your fingers over his and closed your palm over them. He curled his fingers into his palm, pulling you closer towards him and stroking the back of your hand with his thumb.
You wanted nothing more than to hold him close, but you felt paralyzed. Was it nerves? Was it fear? You felt like a coward. You loved Bucky. You knew that now. But the fear of rejection, of unrequited feelings kept you at arms length. Until…
“Come here,” Bucky pulled you into an embrace.
You let yourself be guided by him. Gently you put one arm around his waist and rested your head on his right shoulder. You were facing away from him to avoid putting pressure on his chest, there was still a chest drain in his left side where the rib fracture had punctured his lung. It felt perfect, tucked into him, cradling his arm to your chest. Finally the tears started to fall, you wept into his shoulder. Bucky held you tightly with his right arm, giving you the chance to let your feelings out. Bucky was a man of few words, but he more than made up for it through the depth of his emotions.
When your tears finally dried up, you sat up, perched on the edge of the bed. You cradled his hand in yours, too ashamed to look at him. 
"I'm sorry I'm such a mess."
"You're beautiful." It was a statement of fact as far as Bucky was concerned.
It would have been the perfect moment for you to have kissed him, confess your feelings. Instead you sat on his bed in silence, his hand still tightly in your grasp. You never wanted to let him go but the words you wanted to say wouldn’t leave your lips.
“Can you do something for me?” Bucky finally worked up the courage to break the silence.
“Yeah,” you cleared your throat and sniffed. “Sure, what do you need?”
“Do you know where they kept my arm?”
“Oh yeah, I locked it in the cupboard. So no one tried to steal it.” You hopped off the bed. “Let me get it.”
You had wrapped his arm in a scarf so that there wouldn’t be any damage to it. It was a laughable sentiment because vibranium was one of the strongest metals known to mankind, it was very unlikely that putting it in a hospital cupboard would leave a scratch. But you knew what it meant to Bucky. It had been a gift from the Wakandans, one he saw as a new beginning. He had lived with the guilt of the actions of the Winter Soldier for so long. He had spent months living alone in Wakanda where he had finally been able to rid himself of his Hydra puppeteers and break the cycle of vengeance.
“We had to take it off because you needed an MRI.” You suddenly felt uncomfortable, you hadn’t asked permission to remove his limb. “Steve knew what to do. I hope it’s ok?”
“I understand.” He nodded almost imperceptibly, the blue of his eyes felt like they pierced your soul.
You gently laid the prosthetic on his lap.
“Might need some help with all these tubes.” He indicated to the IV in the back of his right hand and the chest tube in the left side of his thorax. “Please?”
The way he smiled at you when he said please, it made you feel weak at the knees. How had you never noticed his smile before? You’d spent so much time together. You hated that you’d suddenly lost your senses.
“I’m going to lift the bed slightly.”
He nodded.
You approached his left side warily and untied the strings on his hospital gown. Your mouth had gone dry and your palms seemed to be sweating profusely. Why were your hands shaking? Had he noticed the tremble in your fingertips as they pulled back the cotton gown to the edge of his shoulder? 
Your wide eyes roamed over the network of scars, every line you saw felt like a tiny stab through your heart. He had never talked to you about what he had suffered, what he still endured. Should you have asked? He was diligent about seeing his psychiatrist, but then was court mandated therapy really helpful? Tears threatened to fall from your eyes, but this wasn’t about you. In that moment, you would have done anything to take away the pain he felt.
Suddenly you became aware of Bucky’s eyes on you. You’d paused for too long, stared for too long. He was searching your features for signs of disgust and repulsion, everything he saw when he looked in the mirror.
“Does it hurt?”
You grimaced as soon as the words left your mouth. What an idiotic question? Why was this situation making you uncomfortable? It’s not as though you hadn’t been alone with Bucky before. It’s not as though you hadn’t seen him shirtless either. Why was it different now? You normally excelled at having difficult conversations, then why was this so hard for you now?
“No.” He almost sounded sad that it wasn’t painful. He would rather face the physical pain than the current psychological torment he endured. “I think it’s the serum. I don’t feel anything.”
“May I?” You asked if you could continue to lower the gown.
He nodded.
You exposed his shoulder girdle, taking in the Wakandan technology which replaced his normal anatomy. The round plate covered the area where his arm had once been, there were six equally spaced diamonds with a central series of golden rings.
“Wow, it's beautiful.” You were in awe of the technology and how perfectly it seemed to look on the man in front of you. Instinctively you reached out to touch him. “Sorry, I-” you pulled your hand back before making contact.
“It's OK.”
“How do I-?” you asked how to fit the arm.
“Bring it closer.”
You complied. As the distance between the two pieces lessened, the diamonds expanded in a stunning purple glow. The central concentric series of golden rings expanded into a conical shape, the perfect fit for the vibranium prosthetic you held in your hands. It slid into place with ease and the arm came to life in a concertina effect.
“Cool.”
“I just need to recalibrate it.”
“The spinning thing?”
“Yes, the spinning thing.”
He would have to sit up for that. You scurried around to the other side of the bed. Hesitantly, you wrapped your arms around his upper back. Bucky’s right arm hooked over your opposite shoulder as you pulled him towards you until your noses were almost touching. His eyes were locked onto yours and time felt like it was standing still. You could feel his breath on your lips. You could see the dancing black flecks amongst an infinite ocean of blue. Your heart was racing. Just a small tilt of your head, that’s all you needed, he was waiting for an invitation. You willed yourself to move.
A loud klaxon sounded from outside the room and the spell was broken. Bucky turned to his left and rotated the arm on its axis, resetting its functions perfectly. You guided him back onto the bed, releasing him from your embrace.
“Thanks,” he said gruffly, a hint of disappointment in his voice. “I think I need to get some rest.”
“Oh, of course.” You felt confused. Almost rejected. Was he dismissing you? “I can go-”
“No.” Bucky replied before you had even finished.
That one word was all the hope you needed.
"You should sleep. I'll be right here."

Stray Gods: The Role-Playing Musical
If I asked you to close your eyes and picture something that you have lived through, what do you picture?
Chances are, you are picturing a single moment in time, and feeling all the emotion that runs through it and connects it. Maybe it makes you smile or cry. But it's a single moment, crystalised in a wonderfully imperfect brain.
Life isn't about the great stories and sagas. Sure, that's what historians write down, but that's not what the life of a person is about. It's about falling in love, it's about a cup of coffee in the morning and a conversation with a friend, it's about crying in the rain, and it's about a moment of song and dance. Life is about the little moments, the things that you remember.
Stray Gods: The Role-Playing Musical is an epic, but it's also very much not. Stray Gods is about small choices and moments that add up. So, in this post, I'm going to be looking at some of those moments that I liked, and that some of y'all liked, and doing some analysis of what they say about the story as a whole.
Let me explain.
SPOILERS AHEAD
Tumblr media
Stray Gods is a video game. That's really important to the themes and emotions. Video games are often collaborative endeavours, the game itself often just serves to facilitate moments with the group. A perfect example of this is Ludohistory's streams with the crew from Overly Sarcastic Productions (Link).
I have played the game a few times over, with family members and friends, and on my own, and it's a lot less fun playing solo. Not that the game isn't fun to play on my own, but it felt like it was designed to be multiplayer.
Tumblr media
The other benefit of the medium is Stray Gods' calling card. The story is interactive. You make choices and interacts with people within the game. When you convince people to give love a chance, that's your choices leading to an outcome.
One of the best examples of this happens twice. Once halfway through the first song, and then again later on in the story. You get to choose your primary character trait from Charming, Kickass, or Clever. And I think these three are interesting, because their names are misleading. Charming doesn't make you more charismatic, and clever doesn't make you more intelligent.
Instead, I read them as relating to the different driving forces. Emotion, empathy, and logic. I tried to map these on to Ethos, Pathos, and Logos, but it's not quite accurate. Pathos is emotion, Logos is logic, but Ethos is credibility, which isn't the same, but it's a neat idea. In any case, a kickass character is more likely to make rash, emotion driven choices and a clever character is more likely to step back and think, and that is reflected in the choices made available later.
Tumblr media
@rosespark2 gave a different, more fascinating read of the concept (source).
I personally think that [the second choice of personality trait] is supposed to act in a way as Grace developing in the story. An example I could think of being maybe Charming Grace gaining Kickass trait later as her being a more open and compassionate person but seeing the injustices in the system become more glaringly obvious it starts to frustrate her and make her more aggressive.
I genuinely hadn't considered this, but it's fascinating to me. Specifically, because of how these choices influence the story. Your primary character trait lets you make slightly different choices, it affects the little moments later on down the line. For example, Clever lets you ask more questions or make different observations. Case and point, in Aphrodite's party, Grace gets asked if she knows the purpose of this event, and the clever choice is the exact opposite of another option.
Tumblr media
You can say it's to forget, but if you're clever, you can say it is to remember. This gave me a chuckle the first time around, but on a second playthrough, it reminded me of something.
One of my favourite songs is Hotel California by the Eagles and part of the second verse goes like this:
"How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember. Some dance to forget."
A party can be for remembrance and for its antithesis at the same time. Because that's what this event is for, it's for keeping the good times and replacing the bad ones with new moments. It's a time to reminisce. And a clever Grace could work that tiny little detail out, and it could change your perspective on the entire story, a small moment having a big impact.
Tumblr media
But as Rosespark pointed out, you get two choices of character trait, and they can act as character development. And the way that the story uses these choices works with this take. Because instead of your second choice superseding or supplanting your original, it adds to it. Because character development can mean losing parts of yourself, but it can also mean developing. Maybe you are clever and kickass, and that lets you make both clever and kickass choices.
This retroactively makes the Grace from the first half of the story feel incomplete, and that's exactly who this character is, she is young, and lost at sea, trying to find a way forwards. This is a character who needs to decide who to be, and that doesn't happen all at once, it happens gradually, in the smaller moments.
Tumblr media
When you play a TTRPG (be it Pathfinder, or DnD, or Raccoon Sky Pirates), you usually play as a single character. And one of the fun things about those games is finding out in real time, who your character is, and it's influenced not just by your choices, but by those of your friends, and the rolls of your dice.
And characters are made in the little moments, because you cannot look at the wider story. I remember two separate occasions where characters went in completely opposite directions. One champion I made to seek out power wherever she could find it ended up being the redeemer of the group, and one alchemist I made to seek revenge ended up being a father figure. And those two characters came about not through looking at how the plot would play out, but by small decisions in the moment of play.
Stray Gods works a lot like that, and that's for one key reason. TTRPGs are reflections of life, in a way. They are spontaneous, and that's what Stray Gods seeks to achieve. It is possible to play the game with the intent of being specifically charming, but what happens when you get given a choice with no charming options. Most notably, do you side with Persephone or Apollo in Old Wounds? Character comes about in the small moments and the little choices that lead to a large outcome.

This all works for little choices within the game and within its music. The neat little instrumental association of the choices (Electric guitar for Kickass, harp for Charming, bass clarinet for Clever) is a cool choice that associates the choices with distinct moods that can really help to back up the choice as being charming or clever or whatever. And the repetition of this means that you end up associating those instruments with their choices. So, when a character other than grace starts singing with these instruments backing them up, you associate them with that character trait.
For example, Orpheus is the owner of the single coolest looking guitar ever made, and in The Throne, is preceded by this instrument. So, you immediately associate him with strong emotions, just through the music. When you finally meet him, he isn't particularly rash in action, but you are wary of him because of your intuition brought on by the guitar.

Another example of a small musical choice affecting the story is in Cast A Spell and was pointed out by @adragoncat (link):
[Asterion] might be singing a harmony, and when [Hecate] accepts his proposal, she starts singing a melody to compliment it.
It's a tiny choice in the grand scheme of things, within the entire musical, the Asterion and Hecate love story has no plot bearing. But I have gone into detail on the thematic significance in a different post.
But what I think Adraconcat is pointing out is that the music signifies the connection between the two characters. Asterion's singing is less than immaculate, and that is the point, but when Hecate joins in, she doesn't make his singing obsolete, but she adds to it. The two complement each other. Not only is Asterion's song more bearable with her addition, but his singing itself becomes a harmony as the voices intermingle and complement each other into something infinitely better than the opening fumbles.
Things don't have to be plot relevant to be remembered. You remember Cast A Spell because of the emotion you invest in the relationship, and if you don't invest, you don't remember. And there's nothing wrong with that. Memories are unique to the person. My favourite moment in the entire musical is a small line by Eros in The Ritual:
"My arrows are rusty, forget the bow"
The arrows rusted because they were metal, but forget the bow because it was wood and rotted away. (That may be obvious, but I thought it was cool). That bow, mythologically speaking, is what makes people fall in love. It gets used on Jason and Media, and it gets used on Psyche and Eros himself. Probably a mythological interpretation of the flightlines and unpredictability of love, it was a purpose for Eros, and this single line conveys a loss of purpose as time has shifted, and the song attributes that to the pain of Aphrodite.
This is especially powerful because Grace's entire journey is finding her own purpose, and she can empathise with that. If you get invested in Grace's story, there's a high likelihood you will empathise with this as well.
Tumblr media
But the line that sums up the themes the most comes in The Trial:
"Give it time you'll find even an island drifts. You don't notice 'cause it only moves in teeny, tiny shifts."
Stray Gods is about the small moments, because Stray Gods is about choices. You make decisions, you accept the consequences. But sometimes you get so caught up in the small things and you don't understand or see what they all lead to.
You are defined by your choices, for better or worse. And sometimes you look back on yourself and don't recognise who you were or who you have become. And it's important to do so, because the moments keep coming. Even now, there is the choice to change for the better, even when all is lost, you can make a choice. And that choice will be remembered as a tiny moment that might just change your life.

Final Thoughts
This musical is phenomenal and my greatest respect to Austin Wintory for the music, David Gaider for the writing, and everyone else involved.
This is game niche, and that is a strength. It's a Greek mythology, murder mystery, musical, coming of age story, video game. But it zeroes in on its heart, that being the small moments and choices that make a life.
This game made me laugh and cry and sing along. It made me dance, and brought about some fantastic memories, and that's the best praise I can offer it.
Thank you to all those who have read my posts and fed my ego. I put out a request for y'all's opinions on this and while I admittedly overestimated how many responses to that call I would get, it was fun seeing what y'all thought and working that into the final analysis. I am eternally grateful to those who offered their thoughts. I might do it again for other series of analysis that I do.
But this isn't it for my analysis of musicals. In the new year, I plan to take a look at Wicked, so stick around if that interests you.

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6
____________________________
You stayed in the apartment a few days more, both not knowing what to do next and... hoping he might still come back. After some days though, your mind finally rolled around to accepting this loss, even if your heart did not. 
You tugged Bucky’s jacket tighter around your shoulders, taking in his scent as it embraced you with warmer memories. You had just finished putting the dishes away when you heard a heavy knock on the apartment door.
Your heart skipped as you looked toward the sound, “Bucky..?” you whispered, your words full of hope as you quickly padded towards the door. Your hand excitedly reached out for the handle when you paused, ‘But… Bucky wouldn’t have to knock,’ you thought to yourself. 
Another heavy-handed knock rattled the door, much more impatient this time. You pulled your hand to your chest and backed away with soft steps- This wasn’t Bucky…. Your stomach dropped like a stone in the ocean as a terrible feeling washed over you. 
Multiple voices spoke from beyond the door, ‘three of them… no-six?’ it was hard to get an accurate reading with your heartbeat rushing in your years. With no answer to sate them, the people outside grew quiet for a moment.
Your breath caught in your throat, forcing you into a shaken silence. Your whole body was rigid with a fear your brain didn't understand, but the rest of your body did. You were a prey animal hiding in its den, playing a game with the predators outside called ‘Are you still there?’.
Your conscious mind told you to back away from the door, that maybe you could escape from the balcony. Your bare feet stepped backward carefully, your eyes never straying the door until…
Clang.
Your mug falls onto the hard surface of the table as you back into it- it didn’t break, but it didn’t matter. That single noise was almost deafening in the absolute silence of the room and your eyes squeezed shut in anticipation of the predators outside. 
A few brief seconds passed before your door was rammed in, wood splintering into the room, and four men dressed in all-black military fatigues filed in. They held their guns at the ready and you suspected there was only more of the same standing outside. A patch saying ‘STRIKE’ with a blocky-looking eagle adorned each person's arms, but you couldn’t recognize the logo. 
“Where the fuck is Barnes? Where is he?” the leader of them shouted at you as you got down on your knees. He pulled his tactical mask off, but you still didn’t recognize him from anywhere. “I said, WHERE IS HE?!” He pressed once more, raising his gun until you were staring right down the barrel.
“I DON’T KNOW..!!” you yelled back as tears streamed down your cheeks and your hands raised up. This was the second time in your life, only months apart, that you were being held at gunpoint and the fear was becoming overwhelming.
 “I don’t know! Honest! He- He left days ago!” you said as you wiped your eyes and watched the other men in tactical uniforms search every inch and corner of the apartment before finally seeing that Bucky wasn't here and giving the word to stand down. 
A shaky breath left you as the guns lowered, taking some of the anxiety and giving you a little resolve in return. You weren’t out of the woods yet- not by a mile- but at least you weren't staring down the wrong end of a gun.
“Hey, Commander?” one of the men said, “take a look at this.” Ice ran through your veins as the soldier held up a series of photo booth pictures, all images of Bucky laughing and kissing your cheek as you made funny faces at the camera. As much as it hurt to see the memories of your shared past, you knew that men like this would use anything to get what they want. 
“Well, well, well… It seems our dear Winter Soldier has developed a soft spot.” said the leader, looking over the small line of photos, “I think we can use this… SHIELD won't like us coming back empty-handed anyways.” he said and dropped the photos without care. Your hand shot out to grab them as they fluttered to the ground, but the weight of his boot quickly intercepted you as he stepped down on your fingers with a sickening crack. 
“Ah..!” You winced, retreating your hand back to your chest.
The Commander only held a smug look on his face as he snorted in vicious laughter, “get her into transport. And don’t make me wait.”
The hair stood up on the back of your neck as he turned to leave. The three soldiers left had already put their guns away and now pulled out zip ties and a dark bag instead. 
You felt your breath quicken as you slowly got to your feet, looking at the figures that surrounded you. You may be outnumbered and you may not be as strong as them, but damn it- you weren’t about to go out without a fight. 
----
Reticence haunted the building as Bucky made his way up the stairwell and back to the apartment you shared. No radio playing music or people chatting in the walkways, even the apartment was silent as he took the final step into your hall. No song, nor heartbeat sounded from the little room, so he had to assume you finally left. But why did it make his chest hurt so much to think about; after all- this is what he wanted isn’t it?
Isn’t it..?
A frown pulled at his lips as he came to the door, kneeling down to get a better look at the large circular indent at its center. “Someone forced their way in…” He mumbled to himself, fear and worry steadily rising in his chest. As he opened the door his worst fears were confirmed. 
The apartment was completely trashed, plates smashed in the kitchen, books and papers thrown about, even- 
Blood. 
Blood spattered here and there around the room, not big enough for a gunshot, but maybe for a vicious hit. At least he knew you hadn’t gone down without a fight. 
‘Dried. It has to be days old,’ he thought silently, something dark and ferocious stirring in him as he looked further at the scene. His breath quickened as his shoulders began to hunch as he paced about the living space, a deadly determination he only knew as the Winter Soldier began to fill him once again. 
Crunch.
He paused, glancing down as he moved his foot away from the sound's origins, finding the shattered radio underneath. Kneeling to pick up its broken body another object caught his eye. Drops of blood ran over the hand-sized column of photos, covering your smiling face and blotting out his shining sun. 
His jaw clenched as his teeth ground against themselves, a quiet rage coursing through every muscle, as he began pulling on his old gear.
He didn’t know why he kept it around- he swore he would never wear it again, never let himself slip back into that mindset. But desperate times called for desperate measures. He tucked the line of photographs into his jacket, right over his heart where it belonged. 
He picked up his hidden stash of weapons from all over the apartment, filling his bag for a new sort of mission. He didn’t come back expecting to go to war- but he had no problem doing so. As he picked up his bag to once again leave a torn-off black and white patch jumped out at him. A blocky depiction of an eagle stared back at him with the word ‘STRIKE’ arching overhead. 
He had seen this logo before, back when Hydra had still been controlling him. He pulled his mask on as he dropped the patch without care- he’d need the rest of his senses dulled if he was going to have the focus to find you.
His heavy footsteps chased out the quiet of the building, causing neighbors to peek out of their doors in frightened curiosity. But he didn’t pay them any mind as he headed out with both rage and direction.  
It was time to visit SHIELD.
