Spellmaster (Pathfinder Second Edition Archetype)

[art by Tim McBurnie on Artstation]
It’s time for another Pathfinder Society archetype, this one being associated with the School of Spells, which focuses on training members in the ways of magic, not just to help investigate magical relics and sites of ancient empires, but also to recognize the dangers and useful aspects of such ancient magics.
While not all spellmasters need necessarily the ability to cast proper spells, they at least should have some magical ability under their belt.
In a world of fantasy and magic, it only makes sense that an archaeological society focused on recovering the secrets of past civilizations to better the present would have magic specialists in their ranks, not only to better investigate, but also to fight off magical and mundane threats as well. Beyond that, there’s a lot of variety to be had here depending on the nature of their skillset, and the spellmasters themselves have some unique tricks of their own up their sleeves.
This archetype has no direct counterpart in 1st edition, but as we’ll see, it does offer some tricks that do remind me of some of the exploits used by the arcanist class back in the day.
The base dedication for this archetype, which requires a high enough mental attribute and the ability to cast at least focus spells, gives them a leg up on identifying magic items, and even let them switch up the minor magic they gain from tinkering with wayfinders, should they know how to do that.
Many learn how to take on a “familiar form”, that is to say, transform into a small creature commonly used as the familiars of some spellcasters, with the added ability to still make use of some of their lesser spells in this form.
Those that go out into the field often learn to recognize the runes of magical traps very quickly, as well as how to disable them if they re lucky, or avoid them if they are not.
Even with the general good intentions of the Pathfinder Society, they aren’t always welcome, so some learn to cast their spells more stealthily when necessary and things are on the verge of turning ugly.
Few things are more vexing to a caster that having a spell disrupted, especially in life or death situations. As such, if they have the time or focus, some spellmasters learn the art of recapturing the expended magical energies within seconds of it’s failure and reconstituting the spell to get it to go off anyway.
To protect themselves from hostile magic, spellmasters have developed a unique ward, allowing them to set up multiple abjuration runes around themselves that absorb and negate oncoming magical damage.
They also develop failsafes to help protect their magic from being disrupted, engaging them to stabilize a spell when needed.
Those of a more supportive aspect often learn how to shoulder the burden of concentrating on sustained spells for their allies, freeing them up to act in other ways.
Many learn how to better resist the power of a specific magical tradition they’ve had a lot of experience fighting against, be it arcane, divine, occult, or primal.
Perhaps one of their most impressive techniques lets them harness spells they resist exceptionally well, using their own energy to use that spell against their foe in kind, though normally only once, and it must be cast soon after or lost.
When in greater danger, more defensive spellmasters can channel defensive power to better resist spells they would normally fully succumb to. This has the added benefit of increasing the potency of their defensive wards for a short time.
By expending magic, they are especially good at countering the magic of foes, particularly when they have magic in their arsenal which matches or naturally counters said spells, for a bit of old-school counterspell action without being a wizard or necessarily a prepared caster.
Those skilled in melee combat can move and attack with the same action, freeing up time to cast spells or perform more other activities.
Those who truly master absorbing enemy magic can learn to cast the stolen spell more often, expending spontaneous slots or overwriting more prepared spells to do so, and choose to retain said magics for much longer.
This archetype is great for playing a more defensive casters, particularly those that want their spells to go off without any problem, but inhibit the casting of others or turn it against them. There is, however, potential for less magically-inclined classes to dabble as well though, gaining better protection against magic. However, only classes that have focus pools can get it, so fully nonmagical classes (and thaumaturge, unfortunately) can’t benefit from it. Don’t forget some of the utility options too. They can be fun.
Roleplaying and character-wise, this archetype is fun for those either wanting a tomb-delving specialist or some sort of master abjurer. (heck, I find more useful for depicting a defense-focused wizard than the focus spells granted by the abjurer wizard or the school of Ars Grammatica). However, it’s also useful for non-mages with just enough magic and a desire to resist and unmake hostile magic against them. So even if you’re not going the Pathfinder Society route in your setting, it is quite useful for tomb explorers, anti-mages, and more alike.
Lurking in his crumbling castle far beyond the edges of modern civilization, the nosferatu overlord King Kolgac rules over his forgotten kingdom, his monsters preying on those living near the edge. Now, young Owinn, a champion of the North Star, seeks to depose this last remnant of a dark era, and he is coming equipped not just with holy power, but training to resist and turn aside the magic of the undead sorcerer-king.
Though she doesn’t remember the full details and what notes would have been left behind are lost, Nahah is certain that her past life was as an enslaved crafter of magical traps for a great palace temple of a wicked emperor. Leveraging her half-remembered incarnation and her own skill, the samsaran is well-equipped to return to the palace and take back what she once guarded long ago, but she will need a team to aid her.
The monks of Tolthor Monastery spend their time perfecting various forms of magical defense which they blend into their martial arts, not to bypass the attacks of other defenders, but to defend the Monastery itself from attack. This is because the school is rumored to house a powerful magical artifact, which some even suggest is a deity’s sketchbook, filled with the potential to bring forth the god’s rejected ideas… or even forge new ones into reality.

There's someone in Party Finder right now looking for yolo UWU, and. While I respect the hustle. And I'm VERY tempted to jump in and let the winds blow where they may. I am WAY too afraid to just run that randomly right now on this evening.
#IT WOULD BE SO DOPE THOUGH#IMAGINE#I've watched a guide for it like. Twenty times.#But considering the length of the fight and the number of mechanics#I have retained approximately none of it#Though if it's in PF surely everyone would be inexperienced. Moreso than me.#Right?#Right...?#>_>#I want to do Ultimates....#I NEED to do Ultimates at some point#For the chievies :3#But I absolutely would NOT be able to get it in one night#And if I don't have a static#If I'm just playing with randoms#I don't know if I'll ever see them again#Or even another party for this at all#lmao

I hate the PF. It's the main thing that is putting a damper on me being able to get the stuff I want because if you haven't cleared something, they won't let you join the party. Like??? Then let us clear it then? I don't understand what is hard about that. It pisses me off. Extreme trials are locked behind a forced 8 person party of people you may or may not vibe with at all.
Getting the Shadowbringers mounts was easy but the Endwalker ones are probably going to be a no win situation since I can't even join a party to do any of them except for Zodiarks Fall which I still haven't got the mount for. People are not patient with the party and lose their shit if a few people end up dying on certain mechanics. In other words, they expect you to be a goddamn pro at literally everything in a trial that is designed to be challenging.
I understand that you have to be able to follow mechanics and have an understanding of them but SOME OF THEM ARE CONFUSING.
I wish I could just solo them like I solo Variant Dungeons. I can't stand the f*cking PF.
#thank you for coming to my ted talk#i hate the pf#thats why i havent felt like playing this game#like sorry we are not good enough of a damn player for you on a trial we never cleared i guess?#watching guides is well and good but without actually doing it i still dont understnd shit about it

joined a MINE Ballad Nidhogg's Rage, was real fun, learned a lot, made mistakes
mistakes:
during the early stage, i ran into the middle right after getting a puddle b/c i was just focused on getting out of the puddle and the PLD covered me so that Touchdown didn't take me tf out LOL
and then (while red chained) also tried to eat balls while on low health b/c i had just been rezzed, when i probably should have waited for my HP to go up. i was being too ambitious here, i was like "oh okay my hp is low but Second Wind should give me enough juice for this next bubble!" no. no it did not. it was funnier bc i think 3 things happened at once: i popped Second Wind, the healer healed me, and i touched the bubble. i guess the ffxiv server/Nidhogg just decided that "fuck you specifically! the heals can be applied after you eat the bubble :) oh wait no it can't cause you're ALREADY DEAD HA" LOL
IDK how i died right before being red chained. i think i happened to be in the way of the other burning chains, maybe?? (the ones that the tanks need to pick up) me and a few dps got insta wiped on something and i didnt catch it. maybe nidhogg slapped us idk
died a few times bc the (SUPPOSEDLY RANDOMLY-SELECTING) red pointy floaty markers haaaate me and wanted me to die specifically during the early phase, and chose me twice. during a few attempts :') I got better at mitigating death by using Second Wind right after the first floaty marker, and running into the healer bubble too before dipping back out and running back to the edge of the arena if the second marker got applied on me.
died bc i was focused on getting tf out of Nidhogg's way right before he ran across the arena, and OF COURSE THE DIRECTION I PICK TO RUN TO SAFETY is the wrong one, bc two people with red floaty markers are already hanging out around there :') tried to run away, had no time and i got seared right into the cold marble instead. big black mark in the shape of a Miqote doing the stereotypical 'crime scene dead man' silhouette.
but it was a chill group, great teacher, awesome healers etc. i wish there were more newbie-friendly MINE runs in PF (i'm probably just looking during the wrong times lmao)
#zwei writes#idk why this reads like a yelp review LMFAO idk i just really enjoyed it#ffxiv#anyway i've only been able to run it a handful of times but it's so fun. i really like how the first half is pretty similar to the normal#raid. made it easier to pick up at least for me. i also read thru a guide while waiting for PF and being able to recognize a good chunk#of the moves was super reassuring haha#handful is like. 3 times. over the span of like 3 years LOL so basically i've been a first timer each time xD

ALL MINE WITH SOLARZ



and her body shakes and you'll never know when her body aches but it ain't for you, oh no If I only knew the truth
⌗ SOLARZ — fem!reader, smut, oral, nipple play, face-sitting, dom!solarz, swearing, thigh riding, etc....
⌗ CUPID — pt2! pf bmw
the minute sophia smirked you knew something was up, she drove like nothing happened not a word uttered lara's hands still on your thighs as she smugly grinned to herself, sophia kept chuckling which sent you on edge — her knuckles white with how hard shes gripping the steering wheel, rather it felt like the tension was gonna make the car explode at any moment, you look out the window trying to calm your nerves you had just had the most mind blowing orgasm and now you're about to get wet again, at the thought of the two using you
what the fuck, you felt nasty that this aroused you, yet it did strangely it did, lara wasn't one to be possessive yet it was so out of the blue for her to be open to sharing at all
“y/n go to our room, you know what to do” lara mutters as the car parks outside her apartment, you gulp feeling the familiar heat building in your tummy, you nodded knowing the routine
1st strip, 2nd kneel, and finally wait — don't talk back and never, i mean never disobey lara, well maybe in this case both of them
you climb up to your room, stripping bare the cold air-conditioning hitting your warm skin making you shiver, you hear soft rustling downstairs and mumbling from both women — you wait feeling your nipples stand out of the freezing air, you felt a trickle of arousal fall between your thighs to the bedsheet below you
“good girl, lara you teach her well huh” sophia teases as she entered the room, “yet somehow you two thought fucking in live was a good idea” she hisses biting her lip out of fury — lara just rolls her eyes, approaching your side — she places her thumb on your lip tapping twice indicating that you should open it
you obey and take her digits into your lips, sucking languidly — she presses down on your tongue chuckling as you softly groan, “my princess, be good for sophia okay?” lara asks, “y-yes lara” you replied
sophia smirks sitting on the bed as she removes her jeans, she taps her left thigh twice, and you sit on it, your bare cunt making contact with her warm skin, you whimper — “fuck shes wet” sophia murmurs, as her hands fly to your waist guiding you softly to go back and forth on her thigh — “s-soph” you moan as you felt her go rougher
“lara sit on my face” sophia demands earning her a scoff, “sure” lara nods shedding off her sweatpants making sophia lay down, her hands off your waist you continue grinding feeling close — lara sits on the leaders face moaning softly as her clit hits the girl's nose, “shit” she cusses
lara looks at you and connects both your lips, her hands flying to your nipples twisting and tugging, making you whimper into her lips, “c-close” you bit her lip making her whimper too
sophia flexes her thighs making you feel like your high in the clouds, “hold for me baby” lara says gripping your waist as she struggles to sit still, “n-now!” lara whines as she cums on the leaders face you squirm and orgasm on her thighs mewling
“good girl” lara murmurs helping you lay down next to sophia, as she sits up, lara looks at the leader smiling, “no one gets left out right?” lara says
the desi girl kisses sophia her hands now on the leaders cunt, tracing circles, slowly pushing in then pulling out, “y/n c'mere” lara says, you nod sitting next to them two, sophia turns to you pulling you in for a kiss, her tongue pushes in exploring your mouth as she moans into you, soon enough she cums around laras fingers smiling contently

Download: SFS / Mega
Plenty of pantless shoes for AF and TF, most of them taken straight from Maxis clothes. All are low-poly. AF has fat & preg morphs, TF has fat morphs.
Everything is categorized as everyday. In most cases, the recolors can be standalone or repo'd to Maxis. See details and full swatches under the cut.
• All Maxis-repo'd recolors are compatible with texture-only default replacements of the clothes they're repo'd to (or default replacements that tweak the shoes at most without changing them entirely - if you're not sure it doesn't hurt to try, otherwise stick to the standalone recolors).
• Panties textures are by Maxis except otherwise specified. Panties TXMTs and TXTRs are in the mesh files (except for the flip-flops, which don't all share the same panties).
↳ Butterflies Flats taken from tfbodybutterfliesskirt. Polycount: 816. ↳ Housekeeper Flats taken from afbodyhousekeeper. Polycount: 812. For the repo'd version of the recolors, 1 is repo'd to afbodyhousekeeper_bluestripes, 2 is repo'd to afbodyhousekeeper_green.
↳ Comfy Sandals taken from afbodycomfy. Polycount: 912. ↳ Kasa Sneakers taken from afbottomkasa. Polycount: 728. Repo'd recolor is repo'd to afbottomkasa_black. ↳ Sweats Sneakers taken from afbodysweats. Polycount: 744. For repo'd recolors: 1 repo'd to afbodysweats_blacksprint, 2 is repo'd to ambodysweats_bluewalk, 3 is repo'd to ambodysweats_heatherjog. ↳ Cheerleader Sneakers taken from tfbodycheerleader. Polycount: 744. Repo'd recolor is repo'd to tfbodycheerleader_black.
↳ Food Judge Shoes taken from afbodyfoodjudge. Polycount: 792. Confide textures.
↳ Jacket High Collar Shoes taken from afbodyjackethighcollar. Polycount: 760. For repo'd recolors: 1 is repo'd to afbodyjackethighcollar_blue, 2 to afbodyjackethighcollar_pink, 3 to afbodyjackethighcollar_white. ↳ Nanny Sneakers taken from my fixed version of efbodynanny. Polycount: 744. I added the white recolor. Standalone only because the original outfit has tights that I couldn't get rid of through meshing.
↳ PF Short Ruffle Dress Heels taken from this edit of afbodyshortruffledress by @pforestsims. Polycount: 984. Recolor 4 uses PF's texture. Panties texture by Bruno. ↳ Skater Socks Sneakers taken from tmbodyskater. Polycount: 832. Boxers texture by Lunacress.
↳ Surfer Flip-Flops taken from tfbodysurfer. Polycount: 956. The panties can pass as bikini bottoms. ↳ Tour Guide Sneakers taken from afbodytourguide. Polycount: 860. I added the white recolor.
↳ Jumpsuit Boots taken from tfbodyjumpsuitboots (I added caps). Polycount: 870. ↳ Siluetta Heeled Sandals taken from these dresses by Siluetta. Polycount: 906. Panties texture by Bruno.
~
Hopefully I'll get around to converting everything for EF eventually but for now I'm tired of working on this. I don't even use pantless shoes in my game (which explains my failing motivation) but it's useful to have them prepped for future frankenmeshing.

Pathfinder Agent (Pathfinder Second Edition Archetype)

(art by Sucdeportocale on DeviantArt)
With how vast the Pathfinder setting is, it can sometimes be hard to remember that an important detail of it is the titular Pathfinder Society from which the system gets it’s name.
Focused on archeological and heroic motivations over desires for wealth, the society seeks to recover the secrets and relics of the past and make sure that the more dangerous entities and artifacts are dealt with properly and responsibly. They might not always succeed, but by and large their hearts are in the right place.
It only makes sense then that there would be training regimen to help the agents of the society survive and do well in the ancient wonders and ruins they seek and explore.
Indeed, this archetype is a nod and draws plenty of inspiration from the various Pathfinder prestige classes of the previous edition, such as chroniclers, field agents, delvers, and savants, with the majority of its focus being on the middle two of those. This makes sense given the role this modern archetype is meant to embody.
So let’s take a moment and look at what these agents have to offer, shall we?
The base dedication of the archetype improves the agent’s skills as they learn multiple things to help diversify their abilities, including bolstering their otherwise untrained skills. Additionally, they gain access to the signature wayfinders carried by all agents.
Tombs and ruins are often laden with traps, and many agents train to notice them even when performing other activities.
Said complexes are often very complicated, and some learn to keep careful track of their own movements in order to keep track of their sense of direction.
Teamwork keeps the whole expedition alive, and so many train to aid their allies so well that they gain some of the same benefits too, improving their own aim, defensive ability, or follow-up actions as a result.
Some also learn to reflexively look out for more broad environmental hazards, not just actively malicious traps.
This can also be trained to apply to hidden creatures as well, helping them notice ambushes before they happen.
They are also often trained in bestiary studies, to better know what they are up against when facing down various monsters.
Haunts too are not safe from their perceptive notice.
Thorough note-taking comes in handy, especially when facing certain types of monsters repeatedly, allowing them to notice or recall additional facts later.
Seeing an expert in action is a very useful skill to have in dangerous situations, and these explorers often learn to perfectly imitate the actions of a more skilled individual when performing the same task, such as where to step while moving over narrow ledges, and so on.
Some of the more mystical and curious among them tinker with their wayfinder, unlocking a bit of magic in the form of a cantrip of their choice and the ability to disguise their wayfinder as an unassuming accessory.
When danger is imminent, many reflexively act to warn others, getting them ready for the impending conflict.
Sometimes the work of acquiring a lost relic means making a quick replacement to fool casual inspection. Stealing an item from a treasure vault, tossing the fake somewhere where the bad guy will be fully occupied trying to get it, or simply handing it over to the bad guy to buy time to get the real way safely away. However, these fakes rarely stand up to close examination.
Many also learn not just the nature of many monsters but also their vital areas, letting them strike with the intent of bleeding said foes.
While any brute can force a door open, stronger pathfinder agents often learn to break open doors with precise application of force to just the right area.
Some learn to use their wayfinders to store a little extra magic, giving them an extra casting of one of their minor spells.
Honing their powers of recollection and information processing, some can recall information about multiple foes at once.
They can even recall information in the blink of an eye, which can mean life or death against certain foes.
There are many dangerous effects that can leave allies reeling and unable to act at their fullest when it’s needed most, so some learn to quickly refocus their allies to bring them back to their senses.
The more magical often learn to use the magic of their wayfinders to change their appearance and disguise the item itself as another badge of office.
Whether it’s an ancient text while monsters batter down the door, a bas relief threatening to crumble into the sea, or a similar situation, sometimes an archaeologist needs to memorize a lot of information quickly. So, some agents learn to hone their recollection to replicate the information later in a more portable medium.
When they realize they’re about to accidentally set off a trap, many Pathfinders have the wherewithal to warn their allies so that they can better avoid or resist the effects.
More battle-savvy members learn how to analyze their foes to pinpoint their greatest vulnerabilities and resistances.
Inevitably, most Pathfinders acquire a lot of different magical items, but the nature of magical investure means that one can normally only make use of so many at once. However, in an emergency, some of these agents can quickly swap out and re-invest a new item on the fly, giving them some more flexibility.
There are a lot of abilities to choose from here, so there’s something for everyone. Everything from improving knowledge checks against enemies to trap utility to some bonus magic and trickery. You definitely won’t be able to take it all, but if any of these abilities appeal to you and you want to play up your character’s connection to the society, this archetype may be for you. Be warned though, if you’re looking to view this archetype in it’s original written form, all of these abilities are split between three books, with two of them adding to the original. The drawbacks of adding to pre-existing content.
With such diverse abilities ranging from scholarly to practical, it’s clear that the Pathfinder Society actively encourages it’s members to pursue their own individual paths to mastery at their own pace and goal, which is pretty neat. Of course, you can use this archetype for any sort of adventuring or archaeological organization just fine with some tweaking.
After being refused access to the magistrate’s vault to reference a tablet within, the party is forced to use their talents to break in and study it directly. However, the party ends up encountering a group of ninja while on the heist. Are they guardians hired to protect the vault, or assassins with a mission of their own? There is little time to ponder such questions, as the fight threatens to alert the other guardians.
Normally content to explore alone, the android scholar Analysis-707 occassionally returns to civilization to recruit adventurers for larger expeditions. This time, however, he seems even more withdrawn than usual about what it is that he’s discovered and wants to explore, putting the rest of the crew on edge.
The mystery of what happened to the mighty angelic general Monvial has been lost to time, but it is said that the ruins of is last known location, the forgotten city of Gussk, may hold the answer… Those who dare to seek it discover the horrifying truth in a mural that reveals Monvial’s fall from grace and transformation into the entity Laivnom, a mighty Rhevanna and enemy to all celestials and goodness.

on the topic of ff14 - and this could just be me, having no friends who play and not really big on joining groups full of people i don't know either where i have to be good at socializing or the game to even justify being there. or plain bad luck but
are random encounters in this game with other people starting to lean more hostile as people stop playing for anyone else? i used to neeeever have this issue in random groups, everyone had always been so welcoming from the time i joined as a wow refuge! but the past year, a while after DT launched it feels like most of the time if someone talks in duty finder, it's to put other people down. like putting down sprouts for not knowing the precise time to use LB on their first run of a dungeon kind of mean. calling people names for not knowing the launcher throws an error during updates, or for thinking squenix could probably stand to update their server infrastructure (& god i agree tbh) etc etc.
i'm not really sure what to do about it because i'm generally a very asocial person and do not care to join a group of people i don't know that i'll mesh with at all, save maybe go back to wow and see if the culture is better there now. but my DF and general community experience has been so bad at this time that i've straight up stopped playing. it feels like the random pleasant encounters that kept me wanting to play with randoms just... stopped, in favor of people who want you to know everything and do it right all the time with little communication. it gets a bit better during the mog tomestone events when everyone is grinding raids but generally it feels like nobody talks anymore unless it's to complain about other people. doesn't matter if it's criticizing the game, asking questions about it, or literally just trying to exist in it. i don't understand what even happened, if it's really that so many people left or something to do with DT's boss design or what. it makes me sad.
I TOTALLY get where you're coming from. Dawntrail definitely has become a weird era for the community I feel like. A lot of stuff contributes to it. The game has a very large playerbase, there is a lot of dissatisfaction and discourse over narrative elements and game design, the fights are a lot more difficult now and so patience is tested so much sooner than normal. There's also just an increasing normalization of expectation that people playing the game are in the know about third party tools and sites and specific guides and PF etiquette that isn't enforced in the TOS and all that stuff.
For what it's worth it seems like an issue that mostly comes down to where you play and what content you're doing. Most of the toxicity I see is in like, endgame PF groups and whatnot. Early game dungeons and such still seem rather chill from what I've noticed. Could just be bad luck if you're running into that a lot outside of endgame. But in general I would hope that this is just a rough spell, I've seen the community be a lot better and I think if the game itself improves some key points of tension then people will maybe be less... grumpy? But I super don't blame you for not wanting to interface with it! We all have different tolerances and as the famous saying goes: if it sucks, hit da bricks.

The LIs at the airport
Mhin: You pass passport control 3 hours before boarding time. Will accompany you to these duty free stores to test out products you won't buy. Has prepared snacks in their carry ons so you only have to get drinks. Makes sure your miles count so you can get an upgrade on your way back. Has portable chargers for you when your phone dies. Checks your id's 1000x. Will let you have the window seat and set up the food for you if you were sleeping.
Leander: Wether you guys are late or early depends entirely on you tbh. Best person to be with in an overbooking scenario. His charm allows him to exploit the anger of your fellow passengers, which helps pressure the airline. Will somehow negotiate a first class upgrade and a stay in a 5 star hotel for your troubles. Oh, and enough miles to get a 2 way trip for free next time. In business. May or may not have fake passports, Visa and ID cards.
Kuras: Has the incredible talent pf arriving exactly on time everytime. You never have to pay extra for luggage weight but, you take exactly as much as you were allowed. Most seamless experience, nothing goes wrong while you're with him. Takes the emergency seat for his legs. One of those people who can actually read in a plane. Doesn't understand the complaits about airplane food.Gets you those expensive high socks that help with circulation (perks of dating a medical professional).
Ais: You leave home late but somehow arrive in the nick of time. He is not at all stressed about this. Person to go to to figure out what paperwork to bring your pet with you on the plane. Has the best tips to keep your pet calm during take-off and landing. Good at handling crying children on planes. Another airplane food enjoyer
Vere: Scared of flying. You catch him watching those plane crash documentaries all the way leading to the flight day. Insisted on getting only the seats with "higher survival rates" Is antsy the whole time, so he complains alot. Complains endlessly about kids crying. Faces the crying child, and the crying child erupts in laughter. The kids mother thanks him, which pisses him off. NEVER takes off his seatbelt. Will stop you if you try, even if it's for the toilet.
Elyon: The vacation was his idea. Proposed you use his jet for the trip. Will guide you through the whole process of private air travel. Cabin pressure messes up with his ear drums. Don't ask why the interior is so gaudy. Don't go opening any cabinets. Another user of fake IDs and passports.
Sen: Friend trip so you took the cheapest airline. Tried to fit everything into your small carry ons. Jokes about the plane crashing the entire time. Has movies downloaded to keep you both entertained. Makes a concerning amount of plane crash jokes.
#at the airport 3 hours before boarding time 🙏🏾#Mhin i would understand eachother perfectly#touchstarved game#mhin touchstarved#ais touchstarved#vere touchstarved#sen touchstarved#kuras touchstarved

Bow down, overdweller.
#One day I want to get into Savage raiding#It sounds sooooooooooo good#You don't even know#GOD it looks so fun#I just need 7 dedicated sprout moles- I mean friends#to form a static with me and promise to thug that shit out until we get it#And by get it I mean get the achievements for completing each tier 10 times#Because I need my chievies.#Oughhh#I watched the E4S guide and I'm tingly#I neeeeeed to run Savages you don't understand#Why don't people run these in pf anymore...? ;_;#Is all anyone cares about current content?#For shame.

Could I request Boothill, Argenti, and Jing yuan (as well as your faves if youd like to add more) with an s/o who has panic attacks or panic disorder(unprompted panic attacks)?
No worries if you arent comfortable with the topic
@dragon-anon

ʚɞ Synopsis : the hsr men helping you through your panic attacks.
Includes : Jing Yuan, Argenti, and Boothill.
Warnings : gn!reader, panic attacks, fluff fluff.
Notes : one time i had a panic attack and didn't know what to do, it was a bit scary. Ty for the request, to anyone reading this, my requests will be closed for now as i have upcoming fics for you all ♡
↳ ARGENTI.
The rain, how lovely it was. Watching the harsh droplets of rain fall down. Despite the force of the downpour, you remained completely dry, shielded from its touch. Argenti, ever protective, had ensured that not a single droplet came close to your skin, holding the umbrella gracefully to shield both of you, his side shoulder even dampening since you both won't fit underneath the protective shield of the umbrella.
The rain, normally a soothing and calming presence, now seemed to amplify your anxiety rather than soothe it. You felt the familiar weight of panic settling upon you, like a train smashing through the thoughts in your head. Your breathing grew labored and shallow, your chest constricting as if being squeezed. You tried to rationalize your feelings, wondering if you were just overthinking the situation, but deep down you knew it was a panic attack.
“My dear,” he repeated, because you seem not to hear him the first time, he took note of your labored breathing and the wild eyes. And immediately, he took your hand to find a place to sit together, finding a concreted side and wiping the dirty water with his hands or parts of his clothes, all so it could be a bit dry for you to sit on.
Once both seated, he spoke again, “i want you to follow the rise and fall of my chest, okay?” His voice was firm, yet soft and smooth like silk, he held both of your cold, clammy hands and placed them over his chest. You couldn't speak, like you were in a bit of shock, but you followed his instructions, feeling how his chest rose and fell, you copied the movements, your head falling a bit since the chest tightness wouldn't go.
Argenti continued to take slow, measured breaths, letting the rise and fall of his chest guide your own. He could see beads of sweat forming on your forehead, your body shaking under his touch.
“You’re doing great, darling,” he murmured, his hands gently massaging your back in an attempt to soothe you. “Just follow my lead, nice and slow. You’re doing well.”
"l-lovely weather." You try whispering as you look around to lighten the mold, the rain only intensifying in return. "Indeed, it is lovely." His gaze never leaving your face as he spoke, like he was referring to you rather than this predicament. He slowly moved one of his hands up to cup your cheek, gently thumbing away some of the water droplets that clung to your skin.
You manage to calm down in a short time, you give your knight a soft smile of appreciation, and he took your hand in return, pressing a gentle kiss on the palm pf your hand.
↳ BOOTHILL.
There were a lot of people, too many. You felt the place was suffocating you, like their gazes were all on you despite everyone minding their own business.
It felt like their eyes were eating you, judging your every move, your appearance, how you spoke even.
You were zoning out, parting your lips to breathe, your hands grabbing a fistful of the fabrics of your clothes on your sides. You forget that Boothill was even in front of you, and unaware of your internal strife, Boothill continued his bantering, blissfully ignorant of the panic attack about to unfold.
However, when he noticed your labored breathing and how you were grabbing at your sides so harshly, his expression shifted, concern etching across his rugged features. "Somethin's wrong," he stated, his gaze flickering with a mix of curiosity and worry, "Are you alright, darlin'?"
You swallow thickly, "It's crowded, i think, i don't want to be here, I can't breathe—"
He instinctively stepped closer, his presence creating a bubble of personal space that shielded you from other party-goers.
"Hey, hey, hey..." He whispered, his voice soothing. "Don't panic, darlin'. Just focus on me, yeah? Take a deep breath. Let the air fill up your lungs nice and slow." You try following his instructions, he even rubs at your back, his other hand blocking your view to see the others. It was just you and him.
Boothill continued his gentle reassurance, his voice a soothing constant in the midst of the anxiety. "That's right, darlin'. Keep taking slow breaths. There's no need to rush." He added, rubbing your back in steady, circular motions, "Feel my hand on your back. Just focus on that feeling. In... and out... In... and out..."
It's magical, how relaxed you felt, it makes you close your eyes, "Thank you."
"No thanks needed, darlin'," Boothill uttered out with a grin, "I reckon we can take it easy for a moment. Just focus on your breathing. We can stay like this for a while."
"But we're kind of in the middle of the crowd.." you try looking around again, but he stops you from doing so, "those other folks, they ain't worth your worry. Just focus on yourself, alright?"
↳ JING YUAN.
When Jing Yuan entered the room, he saw you curled up in the corner on your desk, one hand almost pulling at your hair. He noticed how there were paper cups falling off your desk, rolling on the ground with the remaining drops of dark brown liquid seep from it.
Ah, you must've had too much caffeine.
"Sweetheart, how many cups did you drink?" Was the first question that was shot towards you, and you look behind you like you were a caught-disturbed cat.
Four, five cups? you felt the anxiety even crawling at your back, whispering harsh things into your ear.
Your heartbeat only quickened, probably from the fear of messing up your work that you pulled an all nighter for.
He was behind you where you sat, and he gently grabbed your chin and tilted your head upwards to look at him. He examined your face for a moment before shaking his head, “You really need to take better care of yourself. Look at you. You look like a mess.” He lightly pinched your cheek, making you frown, but your lips quiver slightly.
You try to speak back, but the quickening of your heartbeat wouldn't stop, you slouch on your seat, one hand resting on your chest while you try making sense of this.
Why was your chest tightening? Why are you shaking? Why do you feel nauseous?
Realising the severity of the situation, he drops onto one knee infront of you, taking your hands into his, “your eyes are unfocused, breathe for me a bit, can you do that?” he talks you through every single second of it, watching the slightest changes of your breathing or the way you focus at his face, taking it all calmly for you, but he was serious about it.
"I'll help you finish your project," he offers, standing up from the ground, "you don't have to—"
"I want to." He insists, bringing both of his hands to grip the sides of your seat while leaning closer to you.
For god's sake, his face is too charming for your poor heart.
"And you're banned from taking any kinds of caffeine." He gives you a cat like smile, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead before walking past you to sort your papers out.

Thrust and Furious
{Ronin who forgot his lunch at home x Y/n}
A/n: this name was suggested by one if my friend’s friends and I honestly loved it, it was so funny I couldn’t not name my fanfiction like that. Also, this fanfiction is inspired by the oiled up ronin fic by nppokie0 so credits go to them and their beautiful writing <33 (and I will write that part 2 pf my other fic tomorrow and maybe there’s gonna be another fic planned so stay tuned!)
Tw’s: nsfw, handjob, bad writing, semi-public sex
•.* ☆ *.•
It’s been months since you started dating Ronin, and sometimes you go to visit him in the station he works in.
Today, was a bit special though. He forgot his lunch at home.
1 new message from goreboy
Y/n I forgot my lunch at home can you bring it to me? You have my keys so that won’t be too much of a issue.
Yeah sure I’ll be there in half a hour
Good. Thanks Darlin’, see you in 30..
With that, you start walking to Ronin’s apartment since you lived pretty close and then got to his place, you grabbed his lunchbox from the fridge and then started driving to his workplace. When you got there, you didn’t hesitate to walk to his office since that’s where he spends his time when he knows you’re gonna come to visit him soon. When you opened the door, you blushed a bit. He was sitting manspead on a office-like chair while looking at some new spare parts to buy on his job’s pc. He had his shirt dripping in oil and sweat laying on the desk. He didn’t notice you yet since he was very focused (and also kinda tired). After some seconds, you finally decide to tap on his shoulder.
“I.. brought you your lunch..”
You said, as you held it up for him while you tried not to look at his body too much.
“Thanks Darlin’”
He said, as he smirked. He grabbed your chin and kissed you on your cheek before he got the lunch from your hands and then put it away in some mini fridge, then he went back to sitting back in his chair, pulling you on his lap, with your back pressed against him and his face laid on your shoulder as he continued looking for parts. His free hand was around your waist and you felt like you could explode.
“What are you looking for?”
You asked, as you tried to not look too aroused..
“Nothing.. just some parts to put into a client’s car..”
He mumbled, as he slowly moved his hand on your thigh, he smirked a little as soon as he saw you blushing.
“You don’t mind, do you?”
He mumbled, as he slowly started tracing patterns dangerously close to your inner thighs.. as soon as you shook your head and gave him consent he moved his other hand on your waist and the other finally started rubbing your core from your panties. You let out a low moan but you quickly covered your mouth since you didn’t want Ronin’s co-workers to hear you two.. Ronin just chuckled at that and moved your panties to the side, stretching you out with two and then three fingers.. you were trying hard not to moan, you tried to grip into Ronin’s pants and cover your mouth but everything was so overwhelming in a good way.. got he did nothing on you and you already felt on the edge..
“You gotta stay silent, Darlin’, you don’t want my coworkers to hear us, do you?”
He teased, as he kept going until you ended up finishing.. worst oart is he wasn’t even done yet.. he licked his fingers clean before making you face him.. he kissed you on the lips this time, with one hand pulling you closer against your head and the other unzipping his pants. When he pulled away from the kiss, he carefully placed you on him.. you immediately higged him by the neck and buried your head on his shoulder trying not to moan too much.. he love all of this.. he loved how you took him so well and how tight you were.. he started to move a bit under you as you held him. His hands were on your waist as he guided you to move with him. It wasn’t your first time with him, but it sure was your first time doing it in his office.. all of this was just even more arousing to you.. you leaned in to kiss him again as you tried to move with him, both of your hips slowly going faster.. he was as desperate as you were.. you two moaned into the kiss.. it was pretty clear that you were both on the edge.. you ended uo finishing together, both of you exhausted.. you wanted more, but you knew it was probably time to wait for him at home for that.. you didn’t want him to get caught and fired..
“You were so good, Darling..”
He mumbled in your ear he was probably a bit wore out from how eager he was.. you were 100% going to stumble when you got up, but it was totally worth it..
“Can we continue at home?”
You mumbled into his ear, you were kinda tired, but you wanted, no, needed more even if you knew you had to wait. As soon as he nodded he kisses your forehead
“Mhhm.. but now you should go.. don’t want my coworkers find out the person in the calendar* is my partner..”
He teased as he continued peppering your face with kisses before actually letting you go. You kissed him goodbye before going back home, really happy with what you two did..
*: in italy, most mechanics have some calendars of some “ladies” ifykwim lmao
(Anorher) A/N: the calendar thing was inspired by my friend too since we had a small chat about that and I definitely had to put it in this fic because it fir just so perfectly HAHAHAHAHA
