🔞AMP EATING OUT HC'S

What the AMP boys are like giving head Feat: Duke Dennis, Kai Cenat, Agent00, JiDion, Fanum

Duke Dennis -This mf is so fuckin hot it's crazyy -Presses a myriad of kisses all over your inner thigh, even leaves a hickey there just so that only he can see it, cuz he's a possessive mf -Even starts with pressing a kiss on your core, wetting his lips which he j licks off before getting in there -And he's like, 6'2 so i know DAMN WELL he's got some sexy long fingers that he's gonna be scissoring in your pussy whilst he wraps his lips 'round your clit n sucks on that -Double stimulation of your g-spot and clit has you cumming haaard -And I j get the feeling that Duke's the type that's gonna ask whether you wanna do another round after that- maybe with his cock in your hole instead, this time

Kai Cenat -I just don't think he's much of a giver 💀 -I feel like he'd rather use fingers than go down on a girlie and eat it up -Atl he's... tried before? -Sorry but I just can't imagine he'd be good at it 😭 Like he'd be narrating to himself what he's doing just to like... Affirm to himself that he's doing it right -But this is the type of guy to get the left flap confused with the clitoris -Wondering why you're not moaning or really saying nothing... Eventually just had to say "You know what, maybe this isn't for you" -sorry to the Kai girlies but I just don't think Kai's got the good head game in him 😞

Fanum -This mf loves eating, and eating you out is no exception ong fr 🙏 -I feel like he'd be so easily turned on an picks up on signals sooo easy, so best believe that after a whole night out of teasing he wouldn't be playing around -Soon as you two get a moment alone he's not even wasting a second of time to take of your clothes or nun -Pulls up your skirt, pushes your panties to the side - the one time you wore a pair of tights he ripped through them like nothing, making you gasp and hiss his name - he just hushed you with promises of ill buy you a new pair don't you worry sweetheart- -And he's a messy mf when he's going down -Lapping that shit up like a DAWG, has you cursing n squeezing his head HARD between your thighs -Honestly it's crazy how good this guy is at giving head and he's a cocky bastard because he knows it too

JiDion -I think his song Thick Chicks affirms what typ'a girl he's into -And facesitting, he's a big fan of that -He likes a girlie sitting on his face, grinding down and riding his tongue -Clamps his arms around your thighs to your your pussy flush against his mouth 

Agent -Sooo this guy could not SHUT UP about eating ass, and squid pussy during that AMP x Beta Squad vid -And I think his enthusiasm has me convinced that he is genuinely into all that... not eating squid pussy, eating ass i mean -Has you on all fours, hand pressing your upper back down so that your face and tiddies are pressed into the bed, ass arched on up  -He's got one hand 'round your thigh, rubbing up n down, occasionally his thumb curling over and pressing to your clit, drawing circles on your clit and making you arch back into his touch -and he's going between licking your pussy and eating you out there, and spreading your cheeks n eating ass -I feel like he'd have experience too, yk, like he'd be good as hell with his tongue

drunk in love | park jongseong

featuring: enhypen's hyung line + sunoo

synopsis: you always thought those drinking game cards were bullshit, until your crush gets too drunk and his secret eventually gets to you.

pairing: jay x female reader

genre: smut, a tinge of fluff

word count: 2005

warnings: alcohol consumption, unprotected sex (wrap it before you tap it), fingering, slight voyeurism at the end (?)

“Take a shot if…”

Sunghoon slowly pulls out the card from the stack with his fingers, painfully slow that it builds up a strange tension in the atmosphere. Jake has his hand out, getting ready to take a shot glass full of gin if ever the description in the card would fit him. Heeseung begins to create a drumroll sound with his hands on the floor, making Sunoo slightly jump in surprise beside him. Jay, meanwhile, gives Sunghoon an anticipating look as his hand instinctively squeezes your thigh.

Anyone from afar can tell that all of you were being edged.

All of you have had a couple of shots, Jake the most. The house is a mess and so are your spinning heads. Jay, being the little devil that he is, chose to play a drinking game despite all of you being already tipsy. Cards Against Humanity would’ve been better, you thought.

Sunghoon finally lifts up the card and proceeds to read it. “Take a shot if you want to get railed or rail someone…?”

“Oh, fuck it.”

“What the fuck?”

“What kind of a question is that?”

“Boo! Pick another one!”

A string of boos and profanities fill the whole living room as Sunghoon himself grumbles at the question. Seriously, the game creators could’ve done a little bit better. Sunoo was inexperienced and didn’t want any at this point in time, he just finished high school. Heeseung, Jake, and Sunghoon are too busy with university to even get a girlfriend.

However, silence fills the room as a loud exhale is heard from one person—Jay.

Right. He was the only person who didn’t have too much on his plate. He bottoms up the small shot painfully, making him grimace at the sting of the alcohol in his mouth. you all could tell that he had too much, judging by his unusual antics. Where did the prim and proper Park Jongseong go just now? Just earlier, he was talking about business and science with the boys, but now he’s laughing like a moron…

“Are you fuckers seriously lying to yourselves? Hah! I doubt you wouldn’t want a taste of a pretty cunt… don’t lie to me.”

… with his eyes directed to you.

What is he on about? You raise your brows, clearly confused about why he is staring devilishly at you. He just chuckles, finding your reaction cute. The rest of the squad stares as well, watching the buildup of sexual tension slowly unfold in front of them. Everybody knows how much you have been pining for Jay and him.

Little did the two of you know that the boys have slowly escaped in their respective rooms, leaving the space to only you and Jay who are still in a hot staring contest.

“Y/N,” he slurs, eyes not leaving yours. “You look particularly hot tonight.”

“Jongseong,” you reply, stroking strands of his hair back to the top of his head. “Is that a way for me to compliment you back?”

He snorts. “Definitely not. I don't force compliments out of people.”

You chuckle, leaning forward until your lips are dangerously close to his. His senses heighten as the alcohol kicks in; he can smell your perfume better now. He chuckles, too, and the mixed smell of alcohol and mint fills your nostrils. Fuck. you wouldn’t be able to keep your cool if he keeps this up.

“You were saying?” he whispers, looking lustfully at your lips.

“You wanna rail someone.” you reply as you feel his hand go up and down your arm. “Am I your only choice, then?”

“You are.”

Jay suddenly scoops you up by the ass, pulling you into his lap and making you squeal. He wonders if he could get more of those out of you, because that sound may or may not have caused his cock to slightly twitch.

“But I'm not bringing you to bed just because of that.” he continues, slowly bunching up your skirt around your hips. “Have I told you that you’ve been living rent-free in my mind lately?”

You squint, not knowing whether to believe what just came out of his mouth. He's drunk. There’s no way he would spew random shit on the get go, right? He senses this and buries his head in the crook of your neck, just where he can kiss and mark it up later on.

“Cat got your tongue, Y/N?” he teases, voice dropping a few tones as his hands travel up your waist. You tense up in his hold, and he smirks on your neck. “Your subconscious is telling me something.”

“And that is?” you respond despite knowing he was joking.

“She wants to get fucked so bad,” he gives your neck an experimental lick to which you gasp audibly to. “and it’s not because of the alcohol. It's because she’s been staring at me all night… isn’t it?”

“Jay.” you sigh as his hand travels upward to your inner thigh. “This is not how I wanted to confess to you, you know?”

“Mm-hmm, keep talking, little girl.” he mumbles, drawing little circles along your soft skin. It felt pillowy against his rough finger pads, which he loved so much.

“You're drunk.”

“What about it?”

“The guys have left us here… alone.”

“Isn't that supposed to be a good thing?” he tugs the crotch of your panties down and prods on your clit experimentally. You whimper softly.

Here you are, sitting on the lap of the Park Jongseong you have been crushing on for quite a while, with his fingers on your sex. He’s smirking to himself, thinking about how you’ve touched yourself to the mere thought of him. To say he hasn’t jerked himself off of the thought of you stripping for him would be a total lie. That would be unfair of him, wouldn’t it?

“Don't you get it, Park? I want to—ah!” you suddenly cry out as two of his fingers effortlessly slide in your pussy. They feel thick and boney inside of you and are already teasing you. God, how would you be able to take his cock if you’re already going haywire because of his fingers, then?

“You want to do what?”

“Confess to you in a more proper setting and situation?” you ask, sounding like a desperate whine as he starts pumping his fingers slowly into you. “Fuck, Jay, I wanted to dress up for that special day.”

“Isn't your fit appealing enough, sweetheart?” he coos, looking at you from head to toe. You wore your work skirt and a graphic tee that was big enough to be a dress. “I'd just rip off whatever expensive shit you want to buy. Would you want that?”

If it were you, I'd love that a lot. “No, Jay.” you shake your head, legs clenching around his arm as he continues to toy you with his fingers. He doesn’t forget to rub your clit, teasingly slow that makes you see stars.

“Spread your legs for me, please?” he nibbles on the lobe of your ear, and you oblige. “Good girl.”

He pulls his fingers out of you, and you whine at the loss of contact. He then lays you flat against the fur carpet and crawls on top of you, licking his fingers and tasting your wetness on his tongue. A part of you wanted him to just fuck you senseless, but the way he was undressing you with his eyes made you want to stare at him for longer until you were dripping wet again.

“What now?”

His domineering tone makes you feel so little under him that you could only respond to him with a whine.

“I’ll take that as a yes."

The next few minutes are a bit hazy for both you and him as the gin starts to kick in. He messily captures your lips in a kiss, tongues clashing together in a fight no one would win. The sting of alcohol on his tongue heightens your senses, and the taste of strawberries on yours elicits a low grunt from him. He hooks your legs around his hips, rubbing his clothed cock against your clit before completely taking his bottoms off.

“You on the pill?”

You nod. That was all he needed to line himself up against your cunt and enter you slowly until he had filled you up to the hilt. You instinctively bite on his shoulder to suppress whatever noise was to come out of your mouth, taking note of the fact that you two weren’t alone in this house.

“Come on, princess.” he coaxes, taking your head in his hands as he rubs his nose against yours. “Are you still trying to stay silent when you’ve been whining on my fingers now? Does that make sense?”

“Fuck, Jongseong!” you gasp as you feel his balls slap against your ass cheeks while he catches you off-guard with slow, sharp thrusts. He knew how to kept you going. “You feel so fucking good…”

“I know, baby.” he whispers, feeling you clench involuntarily around his cock. Sober Jongseong would never assert something that easily. “I know how good it feels.”

He proceeds to kiss you fervently and mindlessly as his hands grope your ass from under. You desperately cling onto the fabric of his shirt for stability as he is going berserk above you. Eventually, you stop caring about how loud you were moaning and just let your long-time crush do the work for you. These were one of your fantasies waiting to be fulfilled, anyway.

Your vision blurs, your eyes roll to the back of your head as Jay picks up his pace and rams into you, letting the alcohol take over his body. His hand finds its way to your clothed breast, squeezing it against his fingers and feeling for your nipple under your shirt. He tugs onto it, your whines get louder and more wanton and it drives him closer to his high.

“Mmm, are you cumming, baby?”

“Yes, fuck… I'm so close… want you to cum in me.” you beg. Heck, even making out words was hard under his ministrations.

With loud grunts, he spurts out his seed inside you, triggering your own orgasm. An array of moans and grunts fill the living room as you ride out your high, and the mixed smell of perfume, sweat, and sex fill your noses. To your surprise, he passes out above you, completely sandwiching you between his weight and the floor.

“Let's do this again, Y/N, baby…” he mutters against your chest, words slurred and almost incomprehensible. “This is so much better than the formal confession shit you were planning.”

“Jay.” you roll your eyes, hand finding his hair and gently stroking it with your fingers. “I still want it—”

“Shh.” he throws a hand above your mouth, feeling like a slap on your face though it was unintentional. “You talk so much for a little girl.”

“I’m not little!”

“Don't lie, Y/N. I can pick you up on one arm… throw you around and…”

“And?” you raise your brows, anticipating his answer. “What's next, Park?”

“And I'll wrestle you and…”

And he’s suddenly snoring. You snort. He's right. maybe this can wait until the next morning…

… or until he’s fucking you again.

“Oh, fuck. Harder, Jay, please!” you scream against the mattress as Jay pistons into you from behind. It was either you staring at the mirror or him pinning you down and letting him take over.

“This is so much better without the alcohol, don’t you think?” he suggests, landing a harsh slap on your ass. “Answer me, babe.”

“Damn, right, it is.” you whine out. “Did you lock the door, by the way?”

He slows down and whips his head to the fully opened doorway. Sunghoon stands meters away from it.

“Get the fuck out!” Jay screams, covering your bodies with the blanket.

“Lock the door next time, you moron!” Sunghoon screams back, slamming the door shut.

Well, that was embarrassing.

a/n: this is one of my old fics (from heeyunkist) that i was luckily able to retrieve! this is for all my jay hoes and non-jay hoes alike who enjoy the concept of him drunk and hot af. also this is clearly not inspired by queen beyoncé’s song of the same title /j

Why Ken Shiraishi is Still Written OK (aka why Vivid BAD SQUAD will never surpass RAD WEEKEND, and why that's a good thing)

An essay I wrote in someone's Twitter DMs as we discussed their belief that Ken's writing has been becoming out of character ever since On Your Feet, and my attempt to present a counter-argument that turned into an analysis of VBS stories up to this point.

1,089 words, warnings for swearing, spoilers, and the fact that this is barely formatted like an essay at all but was just a ramble I thought I gave some good points in and wanted to share.

So bro is openly going against the things that made rw what it was ("ok Toya make all the songs" <- that is not what happened with radder)" and I doubt bro would be full on ignoring it (nor clpl full on ignoring it seeing as they have all of the group's full stories planned from the beginning) and I personally theorize that it's to emphasize the four's strengths as well as to make them come face to face with their weaknesses to grow stronger (I think concerto is the most obvious case of this). Nagi's goal with rw wasn't to make something to be surpassed, it was to pass radder's dream to the next generation to reach the heights they couldn't (i.e. worldwide popularity) and I very much feel like the vbs story has enough backing them going in that direction (Toya's wl chapter, what I've seen of radder flashbacks, even Ken's whole reason for opening weekend garage).

For context, the preceding conversation was about how Ken has been going against a lot of his initial things (Running weekend garage to help the next generation, helping them not work as hard, etc), how he knew Taiga was gonna tell vbs the truth of RAD WEEKEND and that he should first but he didn't, and then how he's been overworking the kids and going against the team effort rw was by radder

Again, clpl kinda suck at writing vbs sometimes but dammit they ain't bad at foreshadowing, they teased Nagi stuff for a year or two before lutf and stuff after all. Plus they've never had a sudden decline with a character, it took two years for Mafuyu's mom to fully be revealed as bad, and even with Taiga that was a solid year. (Now what they do do a lot of are sudden "redemption arcs", sure the Otori brothers' was decent but all the times they've tired to have Shinodad or Toya's dad grow as people has been so bad like bro some people are just shit).

Plus vbs' story has been slower than most of the other units until this current arc (hell they took the longest to end their first arc), slow building blocks to surpassing RAD WEEKEND. So for this current arc to have them saying "our next event will surpass them" so suddenly just doesn't add up. It has to be a red herring. And again, Taiga's been this game's only true betrayal arc, others have been characters going from neutral to bad (Mafumom, one-off characters) or ones meant to be bad that eventually become allies to their respective groups (Arata, Iori, Otori brothers). Taiga going from an explicit ally to an enemy is an outlier, and I've noticed that they usually won't repeat plots and stuff in this game (well outside of Smile of a Dreamer and Our Happy Ending but I think that was on purpose).

I highly doubt that vbs' ending will involve them surpassing RAD WEEKEND, they're probably the only group who's initial goal hadn't changed over time (L/n "I wanna be with my friends again" -> "We wanna be pros that touch others with music". WxS "Let's save this stage" -> "let's travel the world to make our dreams come true" n25 "i need to save mafuyu" -> "she's seemingly saved but shits still tucked"). Even MMJ's which has seemed to always be "Let's be idols and give hope to others" has had steps to go through, it wasn't instantly "Let's perform in the dome" it was "Let's be idols" -> "let's do a live show" -> "let's do a solo show" -> "let's perform in the dome". VBS hasn't been like that, it's always been "let's surpass RAD WEEKEND" and never been anything but that, so their progression has just been them saying "this'll get us closer to surpassing RAD WEEKEND" with little to actually show for it.

It's a lofty, impossible task, and I think Ken and Taiga know that, but they view it in different ways. Taiga sees it as "you'll never live up to it give up stop trying" while Ken's is "you'll never live up to it but that doesn't change that you're still talented performers". Even though how characters always compare each other to radder (An and Taiga seeing Nagi in Kohane, Taiga seeing Ken in Akito) , they're not radder, they'll never be them, and I feel like that's what the story wants to have them and the audience eventually realize. That's what Nagi wanted, right? To have the next generation do what she and the rest of radder couldn't, to keep singing and to be known around the world. They've already contrasted how both Taiga and Ken have attempted to keep Nagi's wishes alive before (i.e. the whole "Don't tell An until she's ready" thing), and Ken handled this better than Taiga but both weren't the best at it, and vbs had to find the strength themselves to keep going. Taiga did it in a brutal and dream-crushing way, while Ken's was gentler and more honest but came too late, and I feel that they wouldn't get rid of that contrast with Nagi's other dream. Taiga ran off and became famous overseas, but never fully processed his grief. Ken is encouraging the next generation, but still isn't doing it perfectly.

So I feel that Ken's plan is to show vbs *their* strengths. The ones only they have. Not in the context of reaching radder's level, but in reaching their own, and truly fulfilling Nagi's wish. He's not doing it perfectly, he's overworking them severely, but I highly doubt that this is purposeful. Again, I just don't think they'd make the dilf have a villain arc.

But nothing anyone has done in response to vbs's dream has been perfect. Even from the main story with akitoya and Kotarou sabotaging Kohane, to Arata in sbd, to Taiga to Arata in bfby, and then lutf is obvious. It's a messy tale of unprocessed grief and unfiltered dreams, things that can lead to both triumph and tragedy. But I truly can't see any malice in Ken's actions, or even Taiga's to an extent. While there obviously was some there, to him I assume it was to protect the legacy of his sister and to not tarnish her swansong.

I don't fully know where I was going with this but all in all I think Ken has good intentions albeit with unintentional extreme expectations, VBS was never meant to surpass RAD WEEKEND, and the vbs story's messy pacing lately is purposeful

I love pecharunt soo much..could u do headcanons for a poison type trainer caring for Pecharunt and Pecharunt loving his new trainer? (Reader gives Pecharunt a new loving home!) 🥺 Maybe some thoughts on the Paldea squad still not trusting Pecharunt (maybe sum jealous Arven bc reader is paying more attention to the pokemon instead of him.?)

Obviously, Pecharunt tried to stay closed-off after what happened between him and his original caretakers.

His quest to satisfy their ever-growing wishes soon led to tragedy..and he didn't wanna suffer through that again.

So after waking up he turns the whole town of Mossui against you and your friends, not wanting to let anyone in.

But in his eyes you seemed determined to make him feel as miserable as possible..especially as you sent Okidogi, Fezandpiti, and/or Munkidori against him after defeating Nemona.

The betrayal stung, seeing his former friends who died to protect him from Ogerpon now siding with humans and attacking him.

After being caught and lifting the town's "curse", he feels humbled, hiding away in his shell even as you introduce him to the rest of your team:

One made of poison types.

Although most of them looked scary and seemed difficult to care for, you learned how to tend to their needs without getting yourself hurt by their toxins, and that made your bonds with them grow stronger by the day.

You hoped to achieve something similar with Pecharunt, knowing it'll be a challenge but willing to try.

He was reclusive around your party members, but not you.

In fact, he quickly grew to love having you as his trainer, yet he was convinced that making mochi was the only way to secure that connection with you--and that if he couldn't win every battle, you'd think he was weak and abandon him.

But you knew that 8x weakness of his would be a problem, and even with an impressive defense..losses were inevitable, and you'd have to calm him down whenever he throws a fit over losing or if you refuse to send him into a fight you knew he won't win.

You eventually learn his story (and why the Loyal Three meant so much to him) through some old texts Kieran's grandparents lent you, and after reading them you just give him a hug and say "I'm sorry."

That's all you said.

It was so simple, yet enough to make Pecharunt cry and realize you would unconditionally love him and give him a permanent home. No mochi necessary. He had nothing to fear.

Of course, though, even after you share all of this and his growth with your Paldean friends, they still warn you to be careful around him.

Arven was more upset about being forced to do a stupid dance than being forced to battle you, still giving the mythical 'mon the cold shoulder every time he sees you two hanging around.

"You embarrassed me in front of my best friend..don't think I'll forget that." He always remarks while Mabosstiff gives him the side eye(tm).

You, however, know he's just getting jealous of you giving more attention to some Pokémon (like a certain legendary dragon) than him and tease him about it.

Of course, Pecharunt is still up to his mischievous ways: he'll mess around with Arven by snuggling up to you, sneaking mochi into his sandwiches, and just being a little shit in general.

Are you fully aware of this? Yes.

Will you stop it? Probably not. It's amusing.

Doon

Task Force 141 X GN!Reader

A/N: Another dedication, this one is for @itzclouding who got me inspired by this post to write this little something about getting influenced by Soap's accent and dialect.

Disclaimer: This is mostly taken from observation by the media I'm consuming. Please, educate me if I'm pragmatically off. I'm not sure how to categorise this one, maybe for non-English native speaker!Reader? For non-British!Reader? Non-Scottish!Reader?

The stages of a human being learning languages started by the listening phase followed by the speaking phase. It seemed that spending quite some time with three English men and one Scottish man got you into those phases unconsciously.

Firstly, of course, you were listening to what they were saying and how they said it. You started stressing a part of a word differently, adapting to whoever you spent the last few days with. Then, you started picking up some slang they were using in the different ways they were saying them.

When you started using them in your own way of pronunciation, they did not actually notice it. It was as if the slang had been part of your vocabulary this whole time. 

Things started to get apparent over time. Like the first time you spent a week on a mission with Soap and you returned a different person.

After that mission, the squad members were gathering for a catch up. All of you were about to have a movie night in a meeting room.

“We’re short on food,” Price realised.

“I’ll fetch it doon at the mess,” you volunteered, not realising that you sounded almost identical to Soap.

The whole group turned to you. Soap had gotten used to it and he still looked entertained. Ghost raised an eyebrow under his mask. Gaz let out a scoff of amusement. Price tilted his head a little.

“Doon at the mess?”Soap asked, a smug smile on his face.

“Where else am I getting food, mate?” you replied before making your way to the door.

“Haste ye back,” Soap yelled.

“Aye,” you replied.

As it turned out, your obliviousness was even funnier to them.

“I swear to God, Soap, if you influence them any further, I will kick you in the throat,” Ghost warned.

“I never did,” Soap insisted. “They just picked it up like that time with you.”

“With me?” Ghost repeated, offended.

“Oh, I remember that,” Gaz nodded. “It’s like hearing a more chatty version of you, LT.”

“I can’t believe back then, of anyone, they have to pick up your accent, Simon,” Price said. “You’re already incomprehensible half of the time, having two of you isn’t an improvement.”

“Incomprehensible? You’re talking about yourself,” Ghost replied. “The thing is, we don’t need to suffer dealing with two of Soap.”

“You mean to say, ‘Thank you, Soap, for leading our good friend to a better path’,” Soap said.

“Fuck off,” Ghost scoffed.

“What? Everyone always wants more of me,” Soap said.

Eventually you returned with another bag of snacks, some canned drinks, and a bowl of something the cook could spare. The bowl was immediately snatched by Soap and Gaz exhaled in disappointment.

“You just brought one bowl of that?” Gaz asked.

“I didnae ken you wanted it,” you answered.

Everyone turned to you again. There was a pause before Gaz chuckled whilst the other—save for Ghost—grinned in amusement.

“What now?” Price asked.

“Shite—I mean, shai—shit!” you struggled to respond, realising what just happened before exhaling. “I didn’t know you wanted it.”

Price patted you on the shoulder, still very much amused.

“Oh, come on, you didn’t make fun of Soap after Las Almas and he’s way worse,” you pointed out. “Also that one time Gaz spent too much time with Farah and can’t stop calling people habibi.”

There was a pause.

“So, where do you wanna sit doon?” Ghost asked.

“Fucking bollocks,” you muttered under your breath.

Duke Thomas hcs

- he has literally no idea what he wants to do when hes older, part of him wants to be a social worker like his mum, or a paleontologist, or a film director, but he kinda flips between possible careers every month or so. (rn its poet)

- he goes to see local bands all the time, around one a week, most of the time with the other we are robin kids (or the robin-squad as they’ve been lovingly nicknamed), Riko, Izzy, Dax and Dre. And he always tries to make Dax���s bands shows when ever they get gigs

- hes actually in a poly relationship with the rest of the robin-squad. It started with Duke and Izzy then Riko joined and Dax and Dre who were already in a relationship joining once Dre had stopped being emotionally constipated

- Duke, Steph and Babs have been banned from being on trivia teams together because they always win by a landslide.

- Dax has always been weird about Duke being fostered by Bruce and avoids going to the manor at all costs, Duke knows why but hes not going to mention it until Dax feels comfortable.

- of all his partners he had the worst relationship with Dre, after the constant fighting while in the we are robin movement together they tried to avoid each other and at least be civil while in their relationship. Eventually their other partners caught on and started trying to get them together. It took a while but one day Duke came over with a rocky dvd and said ‘you like boxing, I like films, d’ya wanna just see if we can go the whole movie without fighting??’.

- The next day all of their partners phone wallpapers were changed to a photo of Duke leaning against Dre's shoulder, both asleep with the rocky credits playing in the background.

- Duke has a list in his notes app labeled ‘shit list’ number one is Izzy's brother, two is joker, three gnomon and for a brief period of time number four was Dick but they have since made up (via a pokemon cards game)

- Cass was the first person Duke introduced his partners to in the family. shes probably the person hes closest too of all the bats and the first one he considered family.

- after a really annoying case or a busy week Duke and Cass will meet on the tallest building in Gotham and just sit together, talking, watching the sunset, sharing the blackmail on their siblings, or just hanging out on a tall building with some pastries (Duke usually gets a danish while Cass gets a chocolate croissant)

Kinda inspired by the Spellman kids asks but..

What if the Sully kids weren't the only kids who bonded to Spider? I imagine most of the kids in the Omaticaya played together, at least within their age groups, and eventually the Sully kids just....brought Spider along.

Some parents wouldn't like it, similar to Neytiri, while others didn't mind. Not all of them knew exactly who Spider's parents were, and some that do know, don't care.

Either way, it ends with a good chunk of young Omaticaya befriending Spider, and bonding with him. They see him as one of their own, regardless of him being human or the dislike and disapproval of their parents and elders.

They are not happy when Spider is kidnapped, and their unhappiness turns to anger when the Clan refuses to rescue him.

So they do it themselves.

Or try to, at least.

This becomes a problem for the recoms. Now they aren't being attacked, only because the kids don't wanna risk Spider getting injured or worse if a fight happens, but they are being hounded by a group of fucking teenagers.

The adults might have failed Spider but the kids he was raised with? They won't.

If getting him back means bullying a bunch of recoms, they will.

And frankly, I think the kids would be quite proud of themselves when they return, not only with Spider, but with a group of confused recoms as well.

Who would've guessed that it only took a group of rogue Omaticaya teenagers to completely ruin the RDA's recom plans.

quaritch and the squad are given a group of kids by eywa, and are left to attempt parenting, cause when you have upwards of a dozen kids refusing to leave until they get their friend back, they need some direction, as they start trying to figure out what the hell they're supposed to do.

they don't last long, the kids are really good at getting under their skin, and within a few weeks they've broken the recoms down; showing them life as eywa wills it, telling stories of before and after the war, pushing all of the emotional buttons. then they connect the recoms to eywa (they're quite convincing, considering their more then a dozen strong) and that's the last straw.

when they bring the recoms back to the village, with spider, to make uturu, the recoms are so confused, emotionally a mess, and they owe their lives to the kids.

the omatikaya just got a whole squad of military weapons full of inside info on the RDA, its the turning point of the war.

Im reading the comics, I've gotten though s1 and s2, and will eventually get to talking about them (I've already cropped all the parts from s1 I wanna talk about) and Riven has a very specific characterization, and I really love it

Let me talk about what makes up his v character

Fuck you, there is a mission

This is the first thing you'll notice. Comics Riven is probably the first to remind everyone that, yes, this is a mission, not a chance to hang out with the girls, stay on target

He also is notably always trying to get anything related to RF done as quickly and well as possible

Like literally anytime he shows up in the comics during a mission he avoids any sidetracks as hard as he can to focus solely on the mission

He will bitch at the others to get their heads in the game and get their asses in gear and it's really funny

Riven gets into this whole huge fight bc he thought someone was shit talking RF

The Shab Stone comic is p good but it goes against Riven's very strong "prioritize the mission at all costs vibes". Riven would not go rouge, he knows he can't pull off his idea with only one~two people. Bitching the entire time and being soo salty and passive aggressive at Helia it makes everyone uncomfortable? Yes. I can definitely see him fucking needling Helia hard. I can't see him running off tho

Like, Riven is the only guy who hasn't let a mission gone sideways bc he wants to hang out with one of the Winx up until this point. My favorite dialogue from him is when Musa is aggressively shooting her shot and Riven is like "hmm I think this might be a lizard type monster"

He simply would not break rank, he'd be a fucking major asshole and attempt to bully Helia into listening to him. But not intentionally endanger the mission

That's something only s1 show Riven would do in his fucking dumbassary, s1 comics Riven is too busy drinking his respect RF juice

Like yes Riven is a dumbass and an asshole, and I would understand and respect this conflict if it was s1 show Riven, but s2 comics Riven would die before doing something that harmed a mission. Please let him be awful in character consist ways

He is always extremely serious looking around Musa in s1 except for the first time he had a proper conversation with her

Riven talks to Musa, calls her beautiful, like literally that's what he says, Musa somehow interprets this as him mocking her (which fuels my hc that Riven just had a voice that sounds mocking and sarcastic which causes him so many problems) and from this on in the s1 comics he maintains a serious ass face when looking at her

Throughout the comics it's reassured that yes, Riven does have feelings for Musa. No clue how that works with him dating Darcy but no one ever accused these comics of being canon

My favorite interpretation of this is that Riven, after completely wiping out with Musa the first time, put all his focus into trying to impress her and it still didn't work but it didn't work in a funny way

In my translation he calls the Winx girlies

Nothing to add that just made me very happy

He is a MASSIVE introvert

Comics Riven will avoid large groups of people like it's his fucking job. He will go to a party and sit on the sidelines because he fucking hates people

He's always on the fringes. He's outside during the dance, sitting on the beach when everyone is chatting in a cafe, he literally runs off to where ever he's least likely to be bothered and doesn't come back

There's a magic spell that makes people argue in one comics and Riven is never shown to argue with others because he straight up doesn't speak. Yes, that could be because the writers didn't want to write about him, but literally every other boy except Helia got in on it. Riven literally took a vow of silence so he wouldn't get mixed up in that shit, amazing

He doesn't even give his opinion on the mission most of the time, or anything. He stands far away from his squad and is kinda vibes in the background. The strongest "people....no thank you" energy. The only person he visibility likes being around is Musa and he gives her small smiles and holds her but is still pretty fucking quiet when it just them and if there's a mission usually talks about the state of that

He is so bad at talking to people I love him

He's everything I wish s3 Riven was

This is literally ideal s2 on Riven. Someone tried to piss him off by saying Musa was with some guy and Riven was like "Literally where does it say that this is any of our business"

This is full s2 Riven setting up a date for Musa with someone else energy and I am absolutely living for it

He's in his lane, focused, flourishing. Completely disgusted with the idea of parties and hiding out back on a rock somewhere enjoying solitude

Hello Ridia-san!

For some reason I wanna see what will happen if Saru gets hit by a Pregnancy Cravings strain.

Like he just starts demanding the alphabet boys to get him water but he wants the water specifically from Homra.

Then sometimes he's gonna wake the whole Scepter 4 in the middle of the night just because he wants some dino nuggies.

Or like he will ask Domyoji to climb a mango tree just because he wants one 😭

And if it's okay I wanna see the reaction of Scepter 4 and Homra but that's all (⁠´⁠∩⁠｡⁠•⁠ ⁠ᵕ⁠ ⁠•⁠｡⁠∩⁠`⁠)

Imagine this pre-S1 too and now the S4 boys have to go on an elaborate undercover mission in order to procure Homra’s tap water for Fushimi-san. Like say Fushimi gets hit by a Strain and no one knows what the power is, he claims he’s fine and everyone needs to stop bothering him and get back to work. The squad are concerned and become even more concerned when they’re on the way back to headquarters and Doumyouji decides to grab a sushi snack to eat because he’s hungry. Doumyouji notices Fushimi staring at him and says it’s just a snack he’ll eat it real quick and Fushimi won’t even have to smell it he swears, thinking he’s in trouble. Fushimi keeps staring though and finally just reaches out and takes a piece of sushi. Everyone is staring and Fushimi’s like what, Akiyama slowly says that they thought Fushimi didn’t like sushi. Fushimi grumbles that he doesn’t…it’s just he’s really hungry and he wants sushi. 

Shortly after this Munakata uncovers that this was in fact the False Pregnancy Strain, who gives their victims symptoms of pregnancy. Doumyouji is like wait so Fushimi-san is going to have a baby and Fushimi glares at him, Munakata chuckles and says unfortunately not (everyone else: “….unfortunately?”), instead it seems that Fushimi has been hit with pregnancy cravings. Fushimi denies it, even as he snacks on a piece of broccoli because what he wants more than anything in the world at the moment is greens, greens, nothing but greens. Everyone’s like okay it’s either the pregnancy cravings Strain or an imposter has taken his place to infiltrate S4 (Fushimi throws a knife at Doumyouji for suggesting the latter and Doumyoui’s like good news guys it’s the pregnancy cravings).

So now the squad has to take care of Fushimi for a few days to help out with his cravings so he’ll have a healthy baby (“I’m not pregnant you idiots”). Kamo is initially pleased to put his skills to use, like if Fushimi wants grilled mackerel for breakfast grilled mackerel he will have. The issue is when the cravings get more specific, imagine Kamo making Fushimi fried chicken and having it rejected so now he has to go to the convenience store at 3am to buy frozen chicken nuggets in the shape of dinosaurs and heat them up in the microwave. Doumyouji ends up having to climb a tree and steal persimmons while on a mission because Fushimi is very hungry for one right now, S4 will work things out with the tree owner later.

At some point Fushimi complains he’s thirsty and he doesn’t want cola or coffee, he wants water. But not S4 water, it doesn’t taste right. He eventually admits that what he’s really craving is Homra’s water. The S4 guys exchange looks like we can’t get that and Fushimi grumbles it’s fine, he isn’t thirsty anyway, but he clearly looks parched and unhappy and the squad are like okay I guess we have to infiltrate Bar Homra and steal their water. Akiyama and Benzai decide to take charge of this mission, with Akiyama going undercover by wearing street clothes and parting his hair on the other side (Doumyouji tells everyone not to look in the demon eye). He goes into the bar and orders a drink and some food, playing it all smooth. At the right moment he pretends to choke and Kusanagi gets him a glass of water. That’s when Benzai and Hidaka cause a distraction outside, which catches everyone’s attention and gets Kusanagi to move away from the counter. At just that moment Akiyama grabs his water glass, leaves payment on the counter and makes a dash out the door before anyone can see him.

Yata happens to be coming back from skateboarding and imagine he spots someone running out of Kusanagi’s bar, he’s immediately suspicious and follows. He’s even more worried when he sees Akiyama meet back up with Benzai and Hidaka, who are in their uniforms. Akiyama hands off the important glass to Hidaka, Yata’s like what are those asshole Blues doing, did they steal something from the bar and they’re taking it back to their King in a glass. Of course no way is Yata letting them get away with this and he comes bursting out of hiding all give me that. Akiyama and Benzai tell Hidaka to forget about them, just get away while he can and take that with you. Yata’s really sure it must be something important now but he’s blocked by Akiyama and Benzai. Eventually he manages to give them the slip and decides to go to S4, thinking maybe he can cut Hidaka off at the pass. When he gets there though imagine Enomoto is at the door, Hidaka breathlessly hands him the glass and says he ‘got Fushimi-san’s water for him.’ Yata’s like wait what and imagine him climbing over the fence to see Fushimi sitting outside on a bench, taking the glass from Enomoto and drinking it. That’s when someone asks if it helped Fushimi’s ‘pregnancy craving’ and Yata promptly falls off the wall.

replies @elenorasweet @umhuhwellthen about this post...

Those are both really nice things!!

i also feel like the characters that SR added next to Usagi, Gen, Kitsune and Chizu, to build more on the family element of the show, were all really interesting. I'm a super slow writer myself but it would be cool to see more of that family element, and those other characters from other fans in general. I feel like this is a constant with SRTUC fans I've seen online who mention the other characters at least once haha x3

@umhuhwellthen those neko ninja designs are cool to see so I'm looking forward to the draw the squads you wanna make for them!

The Neko Ninja crew are ones I also have theories about, but I feel like people will start to write more about thme eventually, so in future fanworks, I would maybe like to just have some extra scenes at the farm, or the Neo Edo crew resting their legs a bit after a tough fight and seeing Auntie, Hana and the other kids again. almost like a vacation even :D

Something else I would also like to explore is how to write Gen and Toshiko, because I thought their sibling dynamic of "elder hypochondriac brother with abandonment issues* who became a bounty hunter" and "younger sister who ran away to the circus and other odd jobs" is interesting for me as an older sibling myself.

*lol that is just what I read into it, but the way his story is framed, with him staying with the Shiba Inu doctors after his family was run out of town, the way he felt emotional after Tetsujin and Chizu gave him a prosthetic horn, sorta makes it feel like it would fit...

I would also maybe like to see more of the Neo Edo crews? Or maybe just more of the 3 crews we see in the show, besides the neko ninja. Like the Mogura have a whole town underground and the Bat Squadron seems to have some sort of recent history with the city, with how they don't have a fleet but their leader is called an admiral... an admiral of what? That's something I'm trying to expand on in "Neo Edo Idol" x3

I'd heard in an interview that the show's crew also had other gangs designed so that seems something fun to tackle with the aesthetic the show has established and how different the three crew's shown are :3

Simon Riley x Mykie (OC) {fem!character}

I wanted to introduce my OC on my Tumblr, this is the character I identify with so I apologize if this isn't one you can really insert yourself into. I plan to write some of those too. But I thought I'd write this cute lil one-shot. I do plan to write some smut eventually too hehe. There is also Spanish in this and if I messed up please tell me! I don't speak Spanish so I did my best.

SWF (mentions of nudity and drinking) Everyone is of age for all activities mentioned in the story!

“Two whole months off. Can you believe it, Soap?” Mykie nudged her team mate in the shoulder. 

Soap chuckled. “It is exciting, how many pubs do you think we can hit up this time?”

“At least ten, like, minimum.” Mykie chuckled. Both of them were full blooded Scots, drinking together was how they bonded. The rest of the group would tag along but they secretly went just to make sure Soap and Mykie didn’t kill themselves on their bender. Ghost was mainly, if not only there to make sure nothing happened to his squad mates. 

—---

“Dos cervezas, un pez. What does that even mean?” Soap asked as he read the sign that hung above the door to the bar they found. 

“I have no clue but I think ‘pez’ is fish…” Mykie trailed off. 

“Significa dos cervezas un pez- It means, Two Beers, one fish.” Alejandro informed the two puzzled Scots. 

“Fuck kind of names is that?” Soap questioned as he pushed the doors open. Alejandro shrugged his shoulders. He usually joined in on their benders for two reasons, he loves to drink, and he had to be their translator most of the time. The two Scots knew some Spanish, but not enough to order good drinks. 

“Una ronda de tequila, hermano.” Alejandro waved to one of the bartenders. They nodded their head and soon a tray of tequila shots were placed in front of the group. 

Soap and Mykie didn’t hesitate to grab a shot each. They clinked the glasses together, tapped the bottoms on the table and shot them back quickly. 

Mykie let out a satisfied sigh, “C’mon Ghost, take a shot. Pretty please?” 

“No. Can’t keep watch if I’m drunk.” 

“Are you saying you're a lightweight?” Mykie teased. 

“Quite the opposite.” 

“I don’t believe you. I bet you can’t even take a shot of some basic tequila without winsing.” Mykie pushed further.

Ghost let out a long sigh as he pulled the chin of his black baklava up, just enough to reveal his lips. He gripped the shot in his hand, tapped it on the table and downed it in quick succession. “Easy.”

Mykie giggled as she grabbed another shot, tapping the bottom and throwing it back just the same as the last. 

After a few more rounds, Soap was starting to slur his words just a little. Mykie was turning a bright shade of pink, Gaz was passed out with his head on the table. Price had even joined them but he ordered himself a glass of sipping whiskey along with Ghost who did the same. Alejandro was in the same state as Soap, the two were giggling and cracking dumb jokes. 

“Ghoooossttt, do shots with meeee.” Mykie pleaded as she scooted her stool closer to Ghost. She always made a point to push his buttons, even more so when she was drunk.

Ghost rolled his eyes, “How many shots have you had, Mini?” He couldn’t fully fight the small smile that tugged at his lips under the mask. 

“I lost count…” Mykie giggled even more.

“I think they both did about 7 shots. You know they can both do more before they are black out.” Price sighed. 

“I wanna do more, I’m fiiiine.” Mykie groaned as she laid her head on the table. 

“I think you’ve had enough. I’m going to take her to the barracks, can you handle the others or should I come back?” Ghost asked as he stood from his stool. Price shook his head and did a little ‘shoo’ hand gesture. Rudy was with them too and had also opted for sipping whiskey.

“We’ve got it, take care of her.” Rudy chimed in. 

Ghost nodded his head as he hooked Mykie’s arm over his neck. Mykie let out some more giggles and incoherent whispers as she swung her body to face Ghost’s, she threw her other arm around his neck. He was much taller compared to her, causing her to hang from his neck. Ghost quickly scooped her up bridal style as he carried her off to one of the two jeeps they drove. 

“In ya go.” Ghost said as he sat Mykie down in the passenger seat. He buckled her in while swatting her hands off his mask. She was always super touchy with Ghost when she was intoxicated. Before he could pull himself out of the passenger side, Mykie gripped his dog tags that were poking out of his jacket. She gave them a slight tug, pulling him towards her face. 

“I want to see your lips again.” Mykie looked up at him through glossy eyes. 

“Let go, Mini. We need to get you back home.” Ghost let out a breathy chuckle. He had to pry her small fingers off his necklace before closing the passenger door. He climbed into the driver's seat and took off down the tight streets of La Almas. 

Back at the base, Ghost lugged Mykie out of the car and up the steps to the base. He tossed her down onto one of the couches in the common room and threw himself into an armchair that sat cross from the couch.

“Ghost…you know…you smell good.” Mykie slurred out as she cuddled up onto the couch. She gripped on of the decorative pillows and hugged it tightly.

"Thank you?" Ghost was finding it harder and harder to fight the smirks that tugged at his lips. He pulled the skull mask and black baklava off of his head. He shook his head as he pushed his hands through his hair, ruffling it back up.

"Ghost." Mykie was making grabby hands towards his location, her eyes where half closed.

"We should get you to bed. What do you say to a quick shower?" Ghost asked as he pulled himself back up off the armchair. He lifted her up bridal style once more and carried her to her own room.

Ghost set her down on the toilet lid which was across from the shower. He shifted his body to turn the small shower on, he ran the water over his ungloved hand, waiting for it to reach the right temperature.

"Arms up." Ghost ordered. Mykie lifted her arms up lazily. Her head hung between her shoulders. Ghost gripped the hem up her shirt and pulled up and over her head and arms. He gently tugged her belt off, her shoes, socks and pants came soon after.

"Oh jeez it's cold." Mykie let out a small shizzer, the cold slowly stealing her drunk state away.

"The shower is hot, come here." Ghost gripped Mykies hands and pulled her up and into his body. She hugged him sloppily as he undid her bra and tossed it to the floor with the rest of her clothes. Mykie hooked her own fingers into her panties and pushed them down.

"Off..." Mykie mumbled as she tugged at Ghost's shirt. "Please...shower with me..." She grumbled as she continued to press her now naked body into him.

Ghost sighed. "Get in first, I'll join you."

Mykie giggled softly as she was turned and pushed lightly into the running water. The showers all had small built in shelves for sitting, and she didn't hesitate to sit down on it.

Mykie watched as Ghost pulled his jacket and shirt off. He undid his belt and dropped his pants and boxers to the floor after unlacing his boots. He climbed into the shower after her.

"Come here." Ghost directed as he tugged Mykie up by her hands. Her hands were tiny compared to his. Her dainty fingers interlaced with his large ones. She pressed her body against his as she took a big, deep breath in.

Mykie sighed, "I could stand like this for hours."

"Me too." Ghost smiled against the top of her head.

"Simon?"

"Hm?"

"I know the words aren't exactly ones we say much...but I love you." Mykie mumbled against his bare chest.

"I know, Mykie. I know."

[courtneyinreallife]

you were bored so -

any headcannons for duncney/kb5 in highschool aus? im kinda a sucker for both of those guys sooo ;p

*All based on a high school au story that I've neglected to write but always think about*

Duncney

Duncan and Courtney have a flirtation going on, but neither is willing to make the first move in becoming official.

For Duncan, it's because he doesn't believe he should be in a serious relationship. I mean, he's a teenager! He should be living young and wild and free!

For Courtney, it's because she thinks Duncan doesn't actually like her. He just likes teasing her.

Literally, Duncan can tell Courtney that he's only into her, but she'll never believe him.

Bridgette so badly wants to blurt out to Courtney that all Duncan will talk about is Courtney, but Geoff will stop her every time because Duncan will kill them for even suggesting he has a soft side.

One day, Duncan finally asks Bridgette, Geoff, and DJ for help on what to do.

They tease him for a good hour about being soft, but eventually, Bridgette tells him to just man up and ask Courtney out.

And Duncan... doesn't ask her out! Wuss.

Apparently, Duncan can't ask her out in person or through text. No, he must do a big gesture. Like... idk... ASKING COURTNEY TO PROM WITH FIREWORKS???

Bridgette decides that she doesn't want to know. Geoff and DJ are busy pumping him up. Geoff has a firework guy and everything.

It's a disaster.

Like... Felony disaster.

Courtney literally has to beg her prosecutor mom not to press charges (which she only does because she's got her eyes set on taking down a corrupt politician).

Courtney picks him up from jail and lectures him on how dangerous fireworks are and how could he be so dumb.

Duncan just smiles in return.

When Courtney's finally done, that's when Duncan asks, "So, wanna go to prom?"

KB5

Bridgette and Geoff always make out around the group.

It gets to the point where Courtney suggests that they should make rules that the group has to follow while sitting at their lunch table.

DJ and Duncan just laugh at her.

About ten minutes later, Bridgette and Geoff join them.

Sure enough, they start making out, which makes DJ and Duncan gag.

"And you laughed when I said we should make rules for the table."

Every Friday, Geoff holds a party at his home.

One day, he decides to save money and DJ the party himself.

...The rest of the group found shelter from the noise in the basement.

"He's not that bad." "He's not that good either."

Every now and then, Geoff and Duncan will ditch a class or two.

If DJ is in one of those classes, Geoff will feel guilty and invite DJ to come along with them.

DJ is always happy to be invited but always, always rats them out without fail.

"She started asking questions-" "DJ, Ms. Barrett is 85 years old, half your size, and can't hear!"

Bridgette joined cheerleading with Courtney figuring it would mean more time with her quarterback boyfriend, Geoff.

What she hadn't expected was that it would become a full-fledged war between Courtney and Heather on who would become the head cheerleader.

During that time, Courtney barely hung out with the group. Instead, she spent her time planning on how to beat Heather.

However, in the end, Heather displayed Courtney to be a dictator.

The whole squad turned on Courtney after that.

Courtney couldn't stand being hated and started calling in sick from school (which never happens).

When Bridgette told the guys what was up, she swore she saw a glint in Duncan's eyes.

The next day, Heather came to school with a wig. Or at least, Bridgette realized it was a wig when she clumsily fell down on top of Heather and saw that her hair came flying off.

Courtney came to school after realizing the tide had shifted and Heather was once again considered the meanest girl in school.

Duncan scoffed saying that he was just getting used to not being nagged all the time for breaking a rule (but Bridgette saw the blush).

Joey tries her best to get used to Raccoon City, but it seems trouble - both old and new - seems to try and get her.

Series Masterlist | AO3 link

Let me know if you want to be tagged when the next chapter releases!

Chapter 3: When The Past Comes To Haunt You

The red plastic basket of fries felt hot to the touch when Kevin handed it over to her. Joey immediately put it in her lap as she dipped a fry into the small bowl of ketchup while Kevin jumped back into the driver's seat.

"So, what do you think of Raccoon City so far?" he asked before taking a big bite from his hamburger.

Joey hummed. "I'm not sure yet," she confessed, "I've lived in Montana all my life, so this is different."

"Good different or bad different?"

"I haven't decided yet," she chuckled, "How much do I owe you?"

Kevin waved his hand, "My treat, to welcome you."

"Damn, really trying your best to make me love this city, huh?" she laughed, and he snorted, "Can't blame a man for trying, can you?"

Joey missed her friends from Great Falls – and her colleagues. But, most of all, she missed Danny. He wasn't just her partner against crime. He was her friend. She could count on him, and he could count on her. Simple as that. No one could ever replace Danny. Not even Kevin.

But that didn't mean Kevin was a lousy partner. If anything, he was great. So far, they'd only worked together for three days – if you can even count Joey's first day, which ended poorly.

She should've expected that Chief Irons wouldn't be any nicer at the end of the day, but Joey felt like she had to report what happened at the motel. At first, she wanted to inform S.T.A.R.S., but the office was locked when she tried to enter. Thus, she decided to take her chances with Irons, no matter how much he seemed to dislike her already.

And as she predicted, Chief Irons wasn't exactly happy to see her. Even less so when she told him about the situation at the motel. He went from claiming she was making up a story to insinuating she imagined the whole thing due to sleep deprivation.

So, if there was a chance Irons didn't completely hate her guts by then, he sure did now. The feeling was mutual.

Unlike Irons, though, the rest of her co-workers were nice. Just in case, Rita had already given her phone number (although Joey was convinced it was mainly because Rita was glad to have more women on the force), and Marvin was a tough yet kind boss. Kevin was a great partner who seemed to make it his duty to ensure Joey felt at home in Raccoon City, and she'd be lying if she said it wasn't working.

Once they finished their lunch, Kevin drove them back to the precinct, ending their relatively calm patrol. Life in Raccoon City (so far) was peaceful. Alarmingly peaceful. Tens of thousands of missing person posters littered the city streets, but when Joey asked Kevin about them, he made it clear that Irons forbade them from looking into it. Allegedly, they were all dead ends that couldn't be tracked, or they were flukes, or… Irons apparently had a lot of reasons.

"So the West Squad is going out for drinks after work today," Kevin announced as he parked the car, "Wanna join?"

"On a work night?" Joey snorted, to which he shrugged, "We don't get drunk. Just… hang out and make sure no one's hangover the next day."

"Sure," she eventually decided, "I'd love to."

Yeah, she was lucky with colleagues like them.

The police station was as calm as ever. The officer on front desk duty had made himself comfortable in the black leather office chair by kicking his feet up on the desk. Kevin put his finger over his mouth, a cheeky grin on his face, before sneaking over to the desk. Then, after making sure the officer was still sound asleep, he started banging on the desk, chanting, 'Wes, wake up!'

Poor Wes was startled awake, nearly tipping over his chair. "Jesus Christ," Wes gasped, resting his head in his hands from the shock.

Kevin laughed, "Sleeping on the job?"

"Fuck you," Wes cursed, which was then followed by a chuckle.

"Sometimes I wonder why we're even here to begin with," Kevin sighed, "Look at this place. It's empty!"

His friend sighed, "Pft, you wish. Eric and Elliott were called for a dead body just a few moments ago. From what I've heard, this time, it was cold-blooded murder – none of that Spencer Mansion bullshit."

Joey had heard of the Spencer Mansion before – at least, some things. The Spencer Mansion was a large home built in the Raccoon Forest. While there were different accounts of who lived there, one thing was known: the Trevor family was last seen visiting the mansion before they went missing. She may have also caught a rumour or two about how the mansion is used as a front to hide sinister experiments. Joey wished she could brush it off as a dumb conspiracy theory, but after what happened to Danny, she couldn't help but believe it just a little bit.

"And they sent Eric? He can barely figure out how to put his shoes on in the morning, let alone solve a murder," Kevin rolled his eyes.

Joey probably would've scolded him back in Montana, but it seemed Kevin's attitude had started to rub off on her.

"Yeah, well, he's the only detective around," Wes frowned, "That's right, Emmett quit."

"Wait, what? Since when?" Joey asked. She hadn't really known Emmett well because he was part of the East Squad, but she'd run into him a few times, and he seemed to love his job. Not only that, but he was a great detective – the type who'd see details no one else sees. So while she didn't really know him, she understood he wouldn't just quit out of nowhere.

Wes shrugged, "Just heard the news this morning. So, Eric's all we got."

"As if we don't have enough cold cases already," Kevin grumbled, walking past Joey to return to the West Office. Before Joey followed, she eyed the computer behind Wes. It was mainly used to check cases whenever someone came by to ask questions, but with the Sunshine Motel still in the back of her head, she wondered if she could find something.

"Hey, mind if I look something up real quick?" she asked, nodding towards the computer.

He followed her gaze and shrugged, "Go ahead, just don't tell Irons I slept on the job, alright?"

She chuckled, "You got a deal."

Joey walked around the massive desk and unlocked the computer. She opened the search engine and began typing in the motel's name, followed by the city's name. Once the results loaded, Joey clicked on the first link that caught her eye.

'MOTEL BURNS DOWN: Fifteen dead, twelve injured'

She looked back behind her to make sure no one was watching her. Sure, she trusted Wes, but she preferred not to take risks. Once the coast was clear, she clicked on the link.

The site slowly loaded, and Joey could feel herself grow more nervous with every second.

'RACCOON CITY, Illinois – Early Tuesday morning, a fire broke out at the Sunshine Motel, just outside of Raccoon City. Fire officials claim faulty wiring in a desk fan is to blame. So far, there have been 15 casualties, and twelve people are still in the hospital. The motel's owner, Courtney Golden, was amongst the 15 casualties.'

Tuesday morning, Joey realized, not even a full day after she informed Irons. Something was up. Maybe she knew that already, but she was forced to confront it this time.

The door slammed open, and, in a panic, Joey closed the browser. A man with gaunt grey eyes and thin, light blond hair ran to the front desk, leaving the main entrance wide open behind him.

"I-I received a call- did you find her?" he asked, breathless.

Wes stood up from his chair, leaning closer to the man, "Sir, calm down and tell me who you're talking about."

Joey had to give credit where credit was due – Wes knew how to handle stressful people. When he wasn't sleeping, at least.

"Clarissa, Clarissa Myer," the man said, "I got a call th-that she's been found. Is she alright? Where is she?"

Wes stayed quiet for a while.

"Joey," he finally said, "Would you mind taking Mr Myer to Officer Hamilton in the East office?"

Joey muttered a quiet 'of course' and began to lead Mr Myer to the East Office. That was another big difference from working in a smaller Sheriff's office. She was used to knowing everything about every case. Now, though, she was told to do things and couldn't even know why. Case in point: she had no clue why this Mr Myer was so important.

"I don't get it," the man stammered, "I just want to see my daughter? Why isn't she in the hospital?"

"Sir, I promise you, Officer Hamilton will answer your questions," Joey replied, smiling despite the awkwardness. Luckily, it seemed to calm the man down enough until Joey introduced him to Tyler Hamilton. When she returned to the main hall, she immediately made her way over to Wes.

"Who was that?" she asked, and he leaned closer to whisper: "Clarissa Myer? The girl he mentioned? It was her body that was found this morning. She's his daughter."

Joey gasped, and he nodded, "Yeah, hope he has some info 'cause he's a suspect right now."

"In that case," she murmured, "I hope they find her murderer soon. Anyway, I should get back to work. Bye, Wes."

She left rather quickly, but Mr Myer's distraught face still haunted her. She knew she should've expected the city would bring more gruesome cases – the most she'd seen so far was a family murder that ended in a murder-suicide. It shocked the entire town at the time.

But Raccoon City had seemingly seen its fair share of murders and worse crimes. Joey knew she had to be prepared for that. But what she didn't know was why these cases were treated like this. Something fishy was going on, and Joey wanted to get to the bottom of it. She had to find a way to do it without Irons finding out because she felt he wouldn't appreciate her snooping around. 

When work was done, and Joey changed back into her regular outfit, Kevin waited for her in the parking lot. He waved at her from his car.

"Where are you taking me?" she asked as she jumped into the passenger seat.

He started the car and said: "Bar Black Jack, it's only a few blocks away."

He was right. After barely a five-minute drive, he parked the car on the side of the road. Joey recognized the street because her apartment building was only a short walk away. Part of her was relieved. She could probably walk home later. In between the many buildings stood one establishment, marked with a neon sign that said 'Bar Black Jack' 

The bar itself was small, but it felt cosy. There were only a handful of tables and a single booth next to the kitchen where Rita, George and Marvin were waiting. Once they noticed Joey and Kevin, they waved them over.

"There you are!" smiled Rita, "About time."

"Yeah, yeah," Kevin rolled his eyes, "You guys ordered yet?"

Marvin shook his head, "No, we were waiting for you. First rounds on me, though. What do you want?"

"Ah, you know me," Kevin replied, "Just a beer for me."

"Got it," he said before turning to Joey, "You?"

Joey took a quick glance at the laminated menu and decided: "Just a Coke. Hold on, I'll help carry the drinks."

Rita snorted, "At least pretend you're not kissing ass!"

"Haha, fuck you," laughed Joey as she followed Marvin to the bar.

Joey slowly got used to Raccoon City. Work wasn't as good as she expected, but her colleagues sure were. For the first time since arriving in the city, she stopped thinking about Montana. About Danny. But she'd always remember why she came here in the first place: to find out what really happened to Danny.

It was about eleven PM when they called it quits – at least Joey did.

"It's been fun, but I should head home," she yawned, putting on her jacket. Kevin immediately stood up as well, "I'll take you home."

"Oh, you don't have to," Joey shook her head, "I live a few minutes away. It's fine."

"No, no," Kevin insisted, "It's late and dark outside. I'm just making sure you get home safe."

Finally, she relented and let him lead her outside.

Right outside the bar was a bulletin board with more missing person posters. Joey had grown accustomed to ignoring them, but one poster partially covered by others caught her attention.

'HAVE YOU SEEN ME?: STEPHEN MCDANIEL'

Familiar eyes stared back at her. Stephen was, in fact, an old co-worker of hers. He was the Chief Deputy Sheriff of Great Falls, but he quit shortly after his wife passed away. No one had ever seen him since.

"Joey?" Kevin called out, joining her side, "Oh, him. His daughter would come to the R.P.D. once a day to report him as missing, but Irons always shut her down. She stopped coming a while ago."

Joey took a step closer and brushed another poster aside. Next to Stephen McDaniel was a woman in the same picture, smiling brightly as she hugged him. Joey recognized her too. It was her best friend in high school before she left for Helena.

Evelyn McDaniel.

Lauren's 2023 Writing Plan

Alright so given that I'm (hopefully) finally done with school, it's time to focus on my writing a little bit more, and that means putting more care into running this blog, as well as working on some longer term porjects that I may or may not eventually share on here too (but are far than ready to be released to the world as of right now). This is why I've decided to give little previews of the things I've been working on lately and that I wanna eventually post on here. I believe this will be a way for me to motivate myself and keep track of what I achieve, and who knows, it might help lure some potential readers in (please please please leave comments and reblog my stuff if I've successfully lured you in and you like what you read, it means so much). Anyway, without further ado, here's what you can expect for me this year:

NCT FRAT AU I think we all agree that NCT are the frat boys of the kpop industry, however the idea of writing about it was sparked by @smileysuh's frat au (find it here). This series is going to be written with OCs, simply because I have ideas for everyone to be kinda linked, and it's going to be too confusing if I don't give names to the boys' s/o. Here's the ideas I have so far:

Taeyong - Shy and nervous Taeyong who's absolutely whipped for one of the techs who is working on the dance squad's show

Johnny - When he meets someone who's as witty as he is, Johnny makes it his mission to find a way to fluster them

Yuta - Sweet barista Yuta takes care of someone he barely knows at a frat party (sounds lame but it won't be)

Doyoung - Theatre kid Doyoung falls in love with the person playing his love interest in the theatre club's production

Ten - Fuckboy Ten had someone in his bed after a frat party and didn't do anything? You're kidding, right?

Jaehyun - There's no way the football player will end up with his childhood best friend who also happens to be a cheerleader, right? Like come on, that's too cliché... right?

Lucas - Gets jealous when he sees his fwb all over someone else after they've been ghosting him for a while (definitely gonna be 18+)

Mark - Music major Mark goes on a blind date set by Haechan that goes a lot better than he would've expected (this is going to be cheesy I'm warning you)

Xiaojun - Art student Xiaojun helps one of the other art majors to derive from the classical rules and free their creativity, no matter what other artists might say (this is kinda based on Nevertheless but also not at all)

Jeno - When cold boy Jeno is seen smiling and chatting with someone outside of his frat friends, rumors start spreading about a potential new couple (for my besties to lovers enthusiasts)

Haechan - Gets offended when his friend pretends to be annoyed by him when in public when in reality they're just as hyper as he is (I don't know how else to explain it you'll have to trust me on this)

ATEEZ Somehow I don't have that many plans for my ult group, however I do get new ideas almost every single time they post something so be ready for that I guess. As for now though:

Deadly Class AU: I only published one part, but I have a few more things to say about that au, especially since Halazia Seonghwa has the exact energy I imagined for the Deadly Class Seonghwa I wrote about. I have a few things already written, but they need a bit more work before they're published. I can however say that Yeosang and Hongjoong will also be part of that au.

I have a vague idea for a Rich Boy series with Ateez, and I'm thinking of maybe writing one shots based on songs for this series? I wouldn't be making OCs this time but they're kind of all gonna be in the same universe. Also the songs I have so far are Fools by Troye Sivan, Black Eye by Vernon and maybe Shout Out by Enhypen, but the concept might change, I'm not sure

The whole 30 minutes album preview live or whatever that was did give me ideas for an au that would take place within the Ateez lore, but given that one of my long term project is already (very) loosely based on their lore, I'm not sure if I'm gonna go through with it. Maybe I'll just write a Yeosang one shot relating to the live's sorta hidden pov

SEVENTEEN As a fairly new Carat, I do know I wanna write about them (especially Vernon and Seungcheol as of right now) but I don't feel like I know them well enough yet to write about them if that makes sense? So what I'm trying to say I guess is keep your eyes peeled for that, but I don't know when it will actually happen. I do however have something written that include Jeonghan and Seungcheol, though it's not about them.

And finally, I have a few ideas that I'm going to keep quiet for now, but they include a mix of idols, and also a Stoner line that my bestie and I made for each group we stan, so keep an eye out for those!

I really hope I'll be able to keep up with writing this year, but please keep in mind that I also have a full time job that is sometimes quite demanding energy wise, so I might not be as disciplined as I wanna be. Also, if any of these inspire you or if you have other ideas for the groups I've mentionned or other groups, let me know! (fair warning that I most likely Will Not write for anyone born after 2001 though) Also, keep in mind that some of these are going to be 18+, and most of them are going to contain strong language or mature topics, so do not interact if it isn't your cup of tea. I try to make sure that everything I post contains the proper warnings, so don't come at me if you read something you shouldn't/don't wanna be reading

Here's to a good 2023!

3 Least Favorite Companions

Edit: It would sure be nice if I had remembered to put a title on this, wouldn't it?????

Fun fact, Tumblr died in the middle of making this post the first time, but maybe I'll just keep my blabbering shorter for it this time.

Anyway, I started because I naturally was trying to mentally put together who my 3 least favorite companions are because I love seeing asks go around the community and, long story short, I realized I could populate that list, technically, exclusively with Trooper companions and, yes, I realize that's possibly my Unpopularest Opinion. If we count Vik as a freebie though, I can squeeze in one from one of the other classes, though it's sort of like a revolving door case at that point where we get into I just find them mildly annoying or their contributions are lacking to the team or whatever. So that still leaves me with my three strongest opinions are Trooper companions - which also probably explains why it's probably my least favorite class to try to go through and why it's such a slog to get my second one done, rip.

SO. I also decided after all that that I might as well finish what I started and just get the list over with, so, here you go, relatively unprompted, Dot's least favorite SWTOR companions. 4, technically, because I'm going to cheat and count Vik as a freebie and still explain why.

Freebie!! Tanno Vik

Needs no introduction. This man has no business being in Havoc Squad. There's no satisfying way to rebuke his bullshit and get him consequences for his actions once Garza and the story strong-arm him onto your team even though you and literally everyone else on the squad at that point does not like it. I would almost have paid for them to give me Fuse back. In a story rife with betrayals, the fact that we can't excuse the one former Havoc member and have to replace him with actual bastard Vik and turn around and rescue the seemingly wrongfully convicted Dagger Wings is just a left-right-left punch series across the face.

And then this is where I apologize because the next one is probably my unpopularest take, but I'm gonna rip the band-aid off here.

Aric Jorgan

I wanna lead with I, as an outside person, completely understand why he feels the way he does. I get it. And I also agree that what happened to him on Ord Mantell was absolute bullshit that doesn't make sense to me, either. But he also is a stiff, snarky man for the majority of the Trooper story so, on the whole, it's not an enjoyable time. That all said, I don't hesitate to help him with the Deadeyes and we should absolutely nail that SIS bastard!! I agree! I also know eventually he admits, hey, maybe I was wrong about you, and that's nice, but spending so long in opposition does give me, like, active feelings of annoyance rather than passive 'meh' like some other companions, so that's how we ended up here.

I've also never been able to make him my Commanding Officer because the sense of entitlement. Yes, he was already a lieutenant. Yes, it was wrong he was demoted. But very rarely does actually giving people power when they openly claim 'it's obvious' like that actually do favors for anyone. No, Jorgan doesn't strike me as that kind of person, but it still rubs me the wrong way.

But also blue-eyed customization Jorgan is pretty, so I'll still give him that. It's a really nice set of blues. Idk if any of this would be improved by playing a F!Trooper, but I can't unhear my Shepherd (blows a kiss to the sky for her) and I don't enjoy the Trooper storyline enough to play it like... Mass Effect but Star War when I could just as easily go play Mass Effect, so the two I've played have been males. And idk if I'd want to try a romance path starting with such... you know. The start of the Trooper story where you two don't get along at all.

M1-4X

I know I said I could fill this with Trooper companions. It still feels a little cheap to do so. But Forex makes me almost... actually uncomfortable. Similar to Vik's problem in that there's no strong way to disagree with his missions in a way that I'd like, so it ends up being easier to just ride along. But his brand of patriotism reminds me terrifyingly of some American military level shit and coming from a small town with little opportunity, that exact brand of almost blindly patriotic 'the enemy is completely evil and we are completely righteous' just. Mmmm. I'll pass. I'll pass so hard.

Guss Tuno

I actually could probably just cap this list with the Trooper ones because now we're in like meh, take it or leave it territory, but if I've gotta choose, atm I'm gonna say Guss. With a (dis?)honorable mention to Broonmark, who only doesn't make the list because my more off-the-rails DS Sith Warriors can enjoy his bloodthirstiness, I guess. Close call though.

Guss is not necessarily bad. There were times when it was a bit amusing. But the one Smuggler I've finished did spend most of her time rolling her eyes through their conversations because she's a Smuggler, not a babysitter, and I really don't think she was convinced about his use on the crew. And his Alliance Alert is still him just kinda floundering about haphazardly, so ehhh.
