#and he's nailing sometimes always never which is a bonus

[astaroth1357]

So. As something of a connoisseur of depictions of the 7 Deadly Sins in media, I was just mulling over FMAB and thought, “I don’t know if anyone as crossed this over with OM before, but that would actually be kinda fire though.”

Like, imagine each of the brothers with the destructive powers of their respective Homunculi.

~♡♡♡~

Lucifer coming off as the most normal at first, until MC catches how his shadow bends and curves to avoid harsh light. They swear they sometimes hear him chuckling in the dark corners of the House, but they never actually find him anything there when they check. Red eyes reveal themselves in unlit rooms and follow them through the halls, all the while they keep wondering how he always seems to know where they are whenever he's away…

Mammon hardening his skin to be tougher than diamond, then using it to reinforce his claws and smoothly cut a perfect circle into glass display case. Him letting himself get punched when things don’t matter, but instantly hardening his cheek to break the assailant's hand whenever he starts getting serious. Or literally using his body to protect MC from harm as their first man and loyal shield.

Leviathan having a MASSIVE aquatic beast form that he shoves into a normal sized body, making him feel even more distant to others. Using transformations to regularly make himself look like his favorite anime characters/idols since he can’t stand the thought of looking at his true form. Yet, he still has that conservation of mass going, so he can simultaneously look like a 12 year-old girl and kick a car down the street like a soccerball.

Satan using his gifted sight to become an absolute force of nature. Not just a mere brute, but a sophisticated and effective killing machine with the wit and reflexes to mow down entire armies before breaking a sweat. Never blinded by fury, but harnessing his rage behind every inescapable strike. Him silently vowing that any threat to MC or his family will barely get to finish a thought before he's cut them down with precision and grace.

Asmodeus mostly using his extending nails for glorious manicures, but not being afraid to pierce the heart or lungs of anyone he doesn’t much like. He hears an incubus talking shit from a few tables down and stabs a hole through the jerk's skull while never looking away from his milkshake. His fights with Mammon getting 1000 times more destructive as his razor sharp claws bounce off his brother's skin and dig into the walls and furniture. The only thing he hates about them are how long it takes to scrub the blood off his nails afterwards.

*silently contemplates the possibility of Beel ripping himself in half to reveal a nightmarish second “stomach” capable of sucking anything into a blood-filled pocket dimension of which there is no light, hope, or escape* … Okay, moving on.

And of course, for those unaware FMAB Sloth could run at like the speed of sound which was threatening because he was also a behemoth. However, Belphie probably weights 125 pounds when wet, so… I admittedly get a giggle at the idea of him giving Lucifer a speed-of-light drop kick from across the House. That is probably all he would use it for, too. Him just getting those horns out and going into ramming speed… What a menace

Bonus: Wonder what kind of alchemist Solomon would be? 🤔

Taking A Bath With Them (Part 2)

GN!Reader/TWST Third Year Boys (Cater, Idia, Lilia, Malleus, Rook, Trey, Vil)

Part 1 (Second Years) // Part 2 (This one!) // Part 3 (First Years) // Part 4 (Coming Soon!) Bonus Chapter (Coming Soon!)

Words: 3K

Tags: Reader's body not described, bathing together but no description of nudity or lewd behavior so you can imagine y'all are wearing swimsuits if you want, fluff fluff fluff handsy cute fluff

Want more TWST? Here’s my masterlist!

Cater Diamond

If you got an ad for it on MagiCam, Cater owns it! His shelves are full of the newest and shiniest self-care products, and Cater follows the routines of the stars to a T! Currently, he is very invested in Vil's skincare line, but he likes you enough to share it. Rest assured that the second you see a sold-out glitter mask, Cater will have it on deck.

While Cater owns a million products he also never has the attention span to use all of them, which is great for you if you wanna snag something and steal it away to your bathroom, he doesn't mind. He's got everything in every color anyway, not to mention some of the free products he gets from people hoping for a shoutout on MagiCam. This also means that there are a million tee shirts of random brands up for grabs too, so if you and Cater wear close to the same size of anything, you can share.

When you two do get time to take a bath together, expect that it will be long and come with a whole spa day attached. Cater is a pretty handsy bathing partner, and while sometimes it is flirty and smooth, other times he is ticking you within an inch of your life. If you're a naturally ticklish person, he might not even be doing this on purpose. The sweet boy may offer to help wash and pumice your feet and ends up getting kicked in the throat. 'It was funny' he croaks through his poor crushed windpipe. Maybe he'll have to tie you down next time. He keeps that thought to himself though.

It's not easy to make time for it, but being able to do each other's hair, paint your nails (you choose the colors for each other, of course), and mess around with all sorts of gizmos and gadgets makes you feel like a little kid at a sleepover. Speaking of sleepovers, since this is a whole-day affair, expect to be having one. I hope you brought pajamas! (Or you could always steal one of those shirts).

Once you are both pampered and put together, expect a long cuddle sesh in your cuddly-soft bathrobes while scrolling through your phones and pausing to give each other a smooch or show off an 'omg have you seen this?' kind of post.

Idia Shroud

While not one to take baths in general (showers are more efficient, right?) Idia is always interested in learning more about you and what you like, so he will put up with whatever you suggest. Idia usually pulls his hair up and back out of his face when bathing, which is great for you since it allows you to appreciate his exquisite bone structure for once. If you want to style his hair, this is the time he will let you do it. You're a bit partial to how his gorgeous blue locks look in a braid or a messy bun but never expect anything other than a ponytail if Idia is the one in charge of choosing.

While Idia certainly has plenty of waterproof electronics and he would play video games in the bath if you're interested, he will settle for listening to you talk as you wash him down as well. It's hard not to be a little mad that the little introvert has a decent amount of muscle definition, but if you try to ask Idia why that is, he will be too flustered to answer.  

If Idia is the one tasked with washing you, it is a little too easy to see his thought process as he tries to do a speed-scrub-100% run of your poor body. His eyes are a bit manic when this happens, and it unsettles you how quickly he goes from a blushing little darling to a back-scrubbing demon. Idia is just nervous though, and he has a habit of falling into familiar patterns when he's stressed. As long as you humor him and just gently tell him that he's allowed to slow down, he will usually realize how over the top he is on his own.

The other option is that you can challenge him to a competition (fastest to wash their hair, fastest to shave, etc) and he will have a blast. Playing to his competitive nature doesn't work in every circumstance, but when it's you he does feel like he has something to prove. Regardless of who 'wins' you will both be laughing and trash-talking with the best of them.

Leona Kingscholar

As you might have guessed, this guy loves a good soak. Leona is one for relaxing things, lavender bath salts, soothing lotions, and getting a little too pruny from overstaying in the water. That isn't to say that you're going to have an easy time getting him in the bath though, as much as he likes them when he is in one.

Washing his hair is a bit depressing as this man has the softest and most gorgeous chestnut hair in the entire world and yet there are actual sticks and leaves stuck in it due to his outdoor naps. You want to shake him, you would kill for your hair to be like his! Despite that, he looks refined and sultry no matter what you do. Regardless, seeing his hair wet and the rest of his gorgeous self sparkling with water like dewdrops on a rose in the early morning is almost sinfully indulgent.

Leona is another one who will probably mess with you with his tail, smacking you without warning on the butt to make you yelp in surprise and then having a smirk on his face for the next hour that never goes away. Despite all of the struggle and sassiness that you have to deal with, getting Leona to be loving is the one thing you will never need to coax out of him. He will actively be complaining about how long the bath is taking while pulling you to his chest for a cuddle. All of Leona's bath products are spicy and warm, and it's hard to keep your eyes open when every bone in your body wants you to just give in to a watery little nap.

If you do happen to fall asleep, surprisingly Leona will be the one to wake up first. It happens so consistently that you wonder if he's been faking it. Leona will pull your tired self out of the bath, towel you off and take you to lounge the rest of the day away in his bed. As much as he complains, seeing your sweet sleeping face makes his day, even if he does have to be a little conniving to make it happen.

Lilia Vanrouge

If you've never dyed hair before you are going to learn! Lilia loves to change his highlights on the reg and while he could get it done somewhere, isn't it just more punk rock to DIY it sometimes? If you're interested in doing your hair in unnatural colors too, Lilia would be thrilled to dye it for you! He will also use magic to change it back if you hate it, but when you ask him if he could have just been dying both of your hair with magic the whole time he will just chuckle mischievously and make a getaway. What a scamp that old man is.

As for the actual bathing, you will also have a hard time getting this man relaxed enough to chill out with you, as he is quite the chatterbox if you manage to get him into the tub. He has more than once floated above said tub playfully challenging you to ‘come and get (him)'. To the surprise of no one, he would float just barely out of your reach and cackle. 

Another game that he seems to like to play you have internally named ‘back in my day’, where he tells you a frankly ridiculous story about the past and you try to decide if he is fucking with you or not. Every time you have called bullshit on him though, he comes to you later with undeniable proof that said event happened, so maybe he is messing with you less than you thought.

Lilia bathes rather simply, he soaks in the water leisurely for a bit, cleans himself off, and gets out. There is very little fuss about the process, though he is happy to go along with anything you bring for him. Fun bath products are something he enjoys, but just not on the top of his ‘weird things to collect’ list, that’s what his bedroom is for, not his bathroom.

If you ask Lilia to help you bathe, he will do so with gentle care, taking his time to enjoy every little goosebump on your flesh and count the moles, freckles, or any other distinctive markings you have. It sometimes feels like he’s drawing constellations on your back, thinking of what your body could be saying to him based on the imagined patterns. Said body means a whole lot to him, of course, but your mind is what matters. He gets a bit misty-eyed thinking about it. He’s so lucky, a loving family and the opportunity to love and be loved by someone as once-in-a-lifetime as you are? How truly wonderful.

Malleus Draconia

First things first, Malleus will insist on doing everything himself. He enjoys you trying to take the initiative and help him bathe, and he will certainly allow you, but the second you try to do anything for yourself Malleus will immediately take over. You wouldn’t want to deprive him of the chance of showing his devotion by taking care of you, would you dearest? You only have so much time together, after all. He is very persuasive in this regard, and as soon as you agree you swear that you might go blind from how dazzling his smile is. 

Malleus is also one for complimenting you while also telling you what he is doing. ‘I am going to wash your hair now, my dove.’ he will say, gently massaging your scalp with his fingers and scratching the skin delicately with his nails. Nicknames are another thing that is incredibly charming about Malleus’ speech because while there are certainly normal ones in the mix, you have also heard more outdated terms spill from his lips.

One particularly memorable instance was Malleus calling you ‘dollface’, but you would never tell him that his terms of endearment were out of date, they were far too charming. 

Seeing Malleus with his hair wet and pushed back is another treat, and seeing the way that his markings crown his head makes you remember just how ethereal his beauty is. You thought that the Briar Valley might be onto something when they thought Malleus worthy of worship.

When you’re done bathing, Malleus will dry both of you with a snap of his fingers, laughing any time that his doing so causes you to jump in surprise. It’s just hard to get used to magic when you don’t have any, you know? Malleus had matching robes made for the two of you, and he will coax you to sit in his lap while he reads a book, stoking your back as you fight the urge to comfortably doze in his embrace. 

Malleus will pause every so often to give you a soft kiss on the hair, forehead, cheek, lips, or whatever is closest to him at that moment. It’s his way of making sure that you know he is always thinking of you, even when he’s busy.

Rook Hunt

Good luck trying to catch him long enough to find out. Rook loves taking a bath, and he especially loves seeing you bathe with him, but there is a certain amount of nervousness he has at being exposed with no weapons, so it can take some convincing at times to get him to relax with you. Once he is in the bath, you will never get that fountain of endearments to turn off, even if they start getting weird and less than flattering. ‘Oh ma cherie, you are just like a wounded animal taking its last breath!’, you ask Rook to elaborate, he ignores this request. 

Rook seems to enjoy the post-bath routine rather than the bath itself, taking great joy in blowdrying both of your hair and styling them so they look just right. Rook also is a purveyor of fancy foreign lotions, and he will happily bathe you in moisturizer at a moment’s notice. 

For the times that Rook is willing to settle down and relax with you, he will almost cry in appreciation if you offer him a massage or any other sort of skinship. While Rook does his utmost to care for himself with the highest ideal of beauty, he deeply craves physical contact and the kind of pampering that only someone you love can provide. He’s surprisingly obedient when this happens, happily moving into different shapes and positions to allow you to better soothe his aching muscles. He will offer you an amazing sensual experience in return, which is very difficult to turn down, given how insistent he is.

Rook feels most at ease once you are both done and back in the comfort of his room. He has dreams of the day that you both might live in the same space, his possessions mixing with yours into the perfect blend of a home that suits you both. Being with you in the dorms would have to do for now, but his heart does skip a beat if you leave something in his room ‘for later', because it’s one baby step closer to being in the shared space that he daydreams of while aiming his bow for the kill. 

What a lovely day it will be when he can wake up to your face each morning, kissing you awake with sleepy giggles and a soft embrace.

Trey Clover

Being the practical one that he is, if you want to use anything other than shampoo and soap in the bath you are going to have to provide it yourself. Seeing the way that Trey’s eyes soften when you condition his hair for the first time, or the smile on his lips when you rub lotion into his chapped knuckles is worth the effort though. 

He tends to chide you a bit, noting that you’re not taking as good of care of your nails as you should and lecturing you on the best ways to clean your body to not strip it of its natural oils. It sounds like he is admonishing you, but it comes from a place of love and care, I promise. While he knows the ideal ways to maintain your hygiene, it is also obvious that this man exists to pamper others rather than himself. 

Trey will volunteer to do anything you ask of him, but when you opt to do things for him he is in absolute heaven. Feeling your touch on his body makes it difficult to still his heartbeat, no matter how long you both have been together, but that is just another reason he loves you, every day feels just as wonderful as the first. Trey melts under your gaze, your touch, and seeing his eyes without his glasses is breathtaking, even if it comes at the cost of him sometimes knocking every product into the tub in search of the soap.  

Vil Schoenheit

I hope you are prepared, it’s gonna be a while. Vil has the most extensive list of body care and routines, they fluctuate every third Thursday and fourth Tuesday and he has a spreadsheet to keep track of it all as well. 

This is an exaggeration, but not by much. However, Vil is not a hoarder. He will quiz you about your hair and skin and assign customized routines for you to follow. If you don’t follow it, he can tell. If you do follow it, he will glow with pride, lauding himself for his accomplishment. You did all the work of actually doing the routine, but it was his accomplishment. Obviously.

In the bath itself he puppets you around like you had strings attached to your limbs, barking orders to lift one arm, then another, move your leg, don’t move a hair he will be right back! You listened to him, but you were shaking in discomfort by minute three. Upon returning and seeing the earnest effort that you made, Vil did cut you some slack and kiss you on the cheek and tell you that you did a good job. That softness did dissolve rather quickly as he snapped back into a beauty drill instructor, but you appreciated the affection nevertheless. 

Once your multi-hour prep is done, you do get a little time to soak together and hold Vil for a fleeting moment of decadent romance. He cuts it short so that neither of you can get pruny, which is sad but he is probably right. There is a post-bath routine as well, and you are nervous to walk on the tile with how slippery your feet are from all the unpronounceable beauty treatments they have been subjected to.

After both of you are done (Vil does not let you touch him, but he does allow you to hand him products, much like a kid handing their parents a wrench in the garage) you are allowed to relax. It is time to wear your embroidered silk robes and lay back with face masks and spa music filtering through Vil’s room. You finally start seeing the tidbits of affection as he holds your hand, kisses your hair, and thanks you for spending all of this time with him. 

He treasures you, and he wants you to know that, though he can sometimes be oddly bashful about saying so. Vil will smooth the hair from your face, a look of unmistakable fondness on his face, and plant a perfect kiss on your perfectly exfoliated and moisturized lips. If bliss did exist, this was a part of it, surely.

What did you all think? Should I do the first years to round it out or are y'all happy? Let me know, send me prompts, drool over fictional men with me, beg for smut or whatever!

Love you reader!

ੈ♡ DATING MATT HC’S!! ⋆｡˚

summary- Matt dating fem reader

warnings- none I don’t think

✩DATES I feel like dates for Matt consist of food and literally doing anything together 😭 (very simple guy) you guys could be sitting at the kitchen counter or in his car eating Taco Bell and laughing from scrolling through TikTok and bro will go home thinking you guys just had the most romantic date ever. It’s honestly super cute because he never gets bored of you and just being there with you makes him feel happy. (Cue nothing by Bruno mars☝🏽)

✩COMPLIMENTS bro is the rizzler idc what you or yo mamma says. He knows exactly what has you kicking and giggling and what makes you bust out laughing. Especially when guys come up to you and say something corny, he can tell how hard your trying to keep in your laugh to not hurt the poor guys feelings which makes him want to laugh even more. It’s honestly adorable when he compliments you because it’s literally out of nowhere. Which is why it makes your heart flutter every time because how genuine it is. “Wait when did you get your nails done? They look so good baby let me see” and he takes your hand SHOOT ME NOW OMG

✩LOVE LANGUAGE is 100% quality time. He’s always trying to invite you places and when you simply cannot show up he feels like you most literally never want to speak to him again. You’ve never felt so terrible. You always make it up to him tho which makes him feel a tiny bit better. Most of the time tho he understands but still tries to throw in a slight joke cause why not. “You’re not coming? Well just say you want to break up damn.” You never find it funny😭. He’s always trying to get you into every vlog and car video. He just wants to be in your presence 24/7 and you don’t mind not one bit. Unless you do then you’re literally lying but wtv. He also feels like he needs you to be there in case he really needs you. If he’s getting jumped by his brothers and losing an argument he’s 100% sure he’s correct about (the horror and betrayal on his face when you tell him he’s wrong) or if he’s scared to do something on his own and needs you to help or simply do it for him. He’s just so boyfriend ugh I can’t do it.

✩KISSING omfg I’ve been waiting for this moment. FOREHEAD AND SHOULDER KISSES BRO. You can tell this has been on my mind for a while. He’s just so sweet with it too he’ll just grab you face and plant a cute ass kiss on your forehead ughhhhhhh I hate this man. Or if he’s comforting you and your face is in his neck and he’s rubbing your back and he places kisses on your shoulder. Bonus points if you’re sitting on his lap.

✩ANNOYING THINGS HE DOES I feel like he can be your favorite person and your worst enemy at the same time. He definitely just randomly jabs you in the side with his finger. Bro idk if this has ever happened to you guys but that shit doesn’t fucking tickle it HURTS SO BAD. And he’ll just keep doing it whenever for whatever. At the most random times too like it’ll be dead silent and he just jabs you in the ribs with the straightest face while your body just gives the most dramatic reaction. He doesn’t care how much you hate it actually he’ll keep on😭. It makes you laugh most of the time and you’ll complain but sometimes your just not in the mood and you get so annoyed and give the most attitude cause what is he doing..he looks at you with furrowed brows “what is wrong with you??” And start just attacking you and jabbing you everywhere possible and you are hurting. You’re trying to yell and be mad but it turns into laughing and now you’re just stuck like that. Sorry

That’s it I’m going to bed but Matt is tloml just needed this to be cleared🫶🏽

relationship hcs ; undertaker

requested by ; mod / self indulgent

fandom(s) ; black butler

fandom masterlist(s) ; hub | specific

character(s) ; undertaker

outline ; “dating headcanons for undertaker”

warning(s) ; none, just fluff!

undertaker has been witness to many many deaths over his unimaginably long (after)life — some by his hand and others of those he loved deeply — which makes him incredibly protective over you to the extent that he’s hesitant to even let you out of his sight for a moment and any injury or illness, no matter how faint, will lead to him fretting over you and confining you to the home to be doted on as you recover

this also extends to his willingness to kill anyone in his way if it meant keeping you safe — this goes doubly if the person in question happens to be a nonhuman threat (such as another reaper or even a demon, like sebastian) but he’s also not above personally taking the lives of any humans that threaten your well-being in anyway (or, if his time would be better spent by your side, setting his followers on them in his stead)

he’s incredibly affectionate with you and isn’t above engaging with pda for any reason, or no reason at all if the mood simply strikes him — stroking/braiding your hair, caressing your face, nuzzling against your cheek, kissing your hands and arms, pecking your lips, dancing with you around the funeral parlour, etc. — his customers either find it amusing or hate it, but he doesn’t much care either way

he’ll often ask you to help him paint his nails or braid his hair when he’s feeling tired — it’s a good opportunity to just talk and gossip amongst yourselves and sometimes, if you let him, undertaker will return the favour by helping you with your self care routine and doing your hair shortly after you’ve finished with him

when it comes to pet names he tends to lean towards things like ‘dearie’, ‘darling’ and ‘pet’ — but he’s also been known to just call you your first name when he’s otherwise very preoccupied (such as with his work with the bizarre dolls, and especially the resurrected ciel)

he loves making you laugh and being made to laugh by you, so mutual humour and being able to joke around with each other is a strong pillar of your relationship — it’s probably how you fell in love in the first place as you were effortlessly able to make him laugh when you met

oftentimes he will forgo sleep when you’re resting in his arms, just watching you as you dream to make sure that you live through the night — terrified of losing you as he’s lost so many others in the past (though he always feigns a restful sleep when you wake up as to not worry you)

thinks it’s adorable when you ‘steal’ his clothes and will laugh if you try and mimic his demeanour and voice — bonus points if you do all of that with his coat and hat on because he will be rolling with laughter by the end of your performance

he’s quick to jealousy but he’s also excellent at hiding it from you — taking full advantage of his cheerful and non threatening (if odd) persona to tease and mock the offending party, subtly humiliating them until they’re too embarrassed to stay (but if that fails he’ll make some excuse to get you out of the room before dropping his playful act and actually threatening them, which never fails to have the other person fleeing with their tail between their legs)

[kimmiessimmies]

📩 Simblr question of the day: Choose as many sims/ocs as you'd like for this question, What's something INCREDIBLY obscure and/or out-of-pocket about your sim/oc? Something that nobody (fellow sims and/or your followers and mutuals) knows 👀 (This could be things about their social skills, physicality and/or birth defects, or it could be something they vaguely remember, a dream they had that actually predicted the future, etc etc... whatever you come up with)

( p.p.s freely share this SQOTD around, anon or not, and use the # SQOTD ~ 💛 )

Thank you, Anon (who I sneakily suspect to be @eljeebee forwarding the SQOTD Anon 😉) and @nocturnalazure for the same ask (on the same day 😊). ❤️

Here's a list of very random facts about my student bunch and two bonus characters. Some things may be known to some already, but I think most can be considered obscure. It is, of course, an essay. Because I'm simply never a woman of few words, especially when it comes to blabbing about my characters. 😊

James wrote his first original song at age 8. It was titled "Parent-Free World", and sometimes he still hums it absentmindedly. He bites his nails when he's nervous and the only place he "self-services" is in the shower because that's the least messy.

Sarah has been considering breast reduction surgery because she has back pain often. She and James developed "twin language" as toddlers and still remember and use some words.

Daniel secretly hoped he would have siblings, but it wasn't on the cards. This made him closer to James and Sarah, though. He's on the verge of failing university. Not because he's not smart enough but because the lectures bore him. His learning style is more visual and kinesthetic, and the University caters more towards auditory learners.

Jill sometimes remembers smidges of a past she can't really place and is convinced these are memories from a previous life. She knows all the songs from High School Musical by heart, but she doesn't tell a soul about this because she's embarrassed.

Seth is extremely intelligent and is a member of Mensa. He doesn't want to be cocky, so he hardly mentions it. He avidly plays D&D online, and his character, a sorcerer, is named Zeno Morningsteam.

Sadie is a wonderful singer and has a great musical ear, but it bothers her that she doesn't know how to play an instrument. She has a tiny birthmark somewhere on her body shaped like a heart (when seen up close). Her parents' marriage is going through stormy weather, but they hide this from their children (for now).

Rachel does yoga every day. She secretly liked it when Sadie spent every night with James because, as much as she loves Sadie, sharing her personal space with someone every night is very demanding for her. She's written seven chapters to a fantasy story, but this is a well-kept secret. If she tells someone about it, they may want to read it! 😱

Finn has a nut allergy. This was discovered when he was three years old and had to be rushed to hospital after sneaking a taste of Nutella. After his hospitalisation, "know what you eat" became a huge topic in the Richardson household, and this is actually what inspired Jill to want to become a chef. Since lots of food contains traces of nuts, Finn is very careful what he eats and always checks the packaging.

***Bonus characters (since they're fresh on everyone's mind)***

Joshua actually hasn't sworn off religion like his sister Martha has. He still has faith but is finding his own way. His crush on Joel is slowly fading, but he's happy about this. He hopes to find love soon but knows this is difficult in a small town. He ordered a free information booklet from The Rainbow Alliance entitled "Boys." which very openly and very detailed (in drawings) explains anything and everything boys who like boys need to know. It left him extremely flustered, but it's also his favourite thing to read now. 🤫

Morgan named Jonah after the love of her life, Jonas, who died in a car crash many years ago. Morgan has a subscription to OMGYES. Aside from writing, she has another creative passion: playing the violin. She's very good at it too. She's not looking for a relationship right now, life is too busy as it is.

sfw alphabet

fyodor d. x reader

prompting guide -- SFW Alphabet with Fyodor Dostoevsky as your loving boyfriend. His way of affection is not for the weak hearted, but you accept anything to stick with him...

involves -- mentions of religion (fyodor is called and sees himself as a god in a small few of letters), violence/harm (reader receives from fyodor giving) (children are also mentioned once //they receive it) and skin/nail biting (fyodor does). it’s not a surprise if it’s fyodor!

new A/N -- help some hcs are way too ooc. you’ve been warned

A — for affectionate. How affectionate are they? How do they show affection? There aren’t a lot of ways to get Fyodor to be very affectionate, and it’s to be expected because of his demeanor. His personality alone was enough to tell you that he’s the exact boyfriend who can survive without being clingy. If anything were to settle—it’ll always be you becoming the clingy kitty. Hm… or is rat a better call? But Fyodor can’t insult you with such a term; not at all. It… makes him feel things that he shouldn’t be. Too good for him, can’t use that.

Even though he’s no kind to hold your hand in public, given that he prefers the relationship closeted to push off any harm from you, he will hold you dearly in private spaces; namely the bedroom. No other eyes on you, just his as your hands stay occupied with his. No other party either, only you and him. That is the setting he prefers if he’s ever wanting to give out affection. If he’s too comfortable with the way you have your body nicely plopped on his lap, he’ll be too lazy to carry you outside his office. Whenever he works and you’re sat near him, he’ll occasionally take a hand of his to move—finally receiving a break from endless typing and programming to hold your hand, which seems to always be warmer than his. Rubbing his thumb on your palm, it was one of the gentle ways of affection he commonly does because he’s so busy to do more.

But just because he’s busy doesn’t mean he won’t give his little dearest any affection of their desperate desire. He loves to hold you, just not so often—so you try to keep your clinginess to a level. Bonus points if you’re not that clingy either. But whenever you can’t handle it anymore, you’d be softly whining or tapping his shoulders, politely asking for attention or affection. Of course, he always has the choice to give in nicely and treat you well, but it doesn’t fit Fyodor right—does it? Majority of the time, he’ll stare with a teasing desire and tell you to beg some more, so badly that it sometimes ends up in you on your knees with those pleading eyes. Who is he to resist your worst?

B — for best friend. What would they be as a best friend? How would the friendship start? You see him as a best friend? ..So what? The word ‘best’ does not flatter him enough, and mainly; he probably wouldn’t have felt the same right away. Fyodor does not let his emotions get the best of him—and he certainly does not let the art of friendship ruin him too. But it seems you’ve managed to shake up that hard shell. At least, you thought you did, but in reality, he most likely let you for reasons you’ll never be able to code out. His behavior towards you stays the same, the similar attention he gives to his co-workers, Gogol and Sigma, but with just a bit of more patience because of how peculiar you seem to him. You're still a friend after all, so what's there to give you that he doesn't to his other friends?

You two definitely met by planned events, ideally his. If you were just a normal being with no ability, you could've met him at a church or somewhere public ‘by chance’. Don’t be too upset that fate didn’t bring you two across, Fyodor Dostoevsky isn't the kind to effort talks to new people for no reason, does he? But be a bit thankful; realize that Fyodor never would’ve ‘utilized’ you if fate didn’t introduce you to him in the first place. If you were a gifted, however, chances are both of you instead met during a critical time of his plans. Either his enemy, or his co-worker. However, you most likely would’ve been on his rougher side as Fyodor had once almost given you the taste of death- but he finds the spark in you too good to waste. It's not that he follows you like a stalker before you guys 'met'—rather he once hears about your unique ability, immediately coming to his head as he smirked at the thought of the things he could do, so he took time to prepare a scenario your smarts wouldn't be able to realize until he admits it.

And instead of discarding the relationship, he’d grown to find you very entertaining. He lets you and him start a friendship that’d drive with twists and turns, some far shocking and foul to make you rethink your choices of why you stayed as his friend. But by full idiocy, no matter how smart you were—you seem to not have a single power in you to pull him away, so you decided to let yourself follow his tail for a bit longer. He, by all means, realizes your thoughts before you decided on—perhaps the worse or best choice ever, but he lets you stay anyway, with no questions of offense asked. He knows who he is, so why should he be insulted?

C - for cuddles. Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle? Fyodor doesn't let himself be all touchy with you for a while, but when given the opportunity, cuddling is definitely one of the main activities you both do. Mostly too exhausted to humor you with talk, he'll grab you in his arms much how you hold your arms to his, letting you both share an embrace that would feel cold at first, but share upon the heat soon enough and turn more comfortable. You most likely aren't the kind to want endless chatting as well, given that you like Fyodor—so you don't mind his soft silence as you two cuddle.

As to whether he likes the cuddles or not… Well, you know how he ideally prefers to give his affection through other acts than physical touch. Especially if the physical act is big, like cuddling. A very vulnerable position to be in, mhm. But if you want it, then he’ll not mind to give you one. Depends on how long you’d want it, of course. It’s best if you ask cuddles whenever he’s free—which in most cases, he barely really is. So your cuddle sessions take so long once happening, yet Fyodor understands. And as long as you two were safe enough to, he’ll let you stay for as long as you need.

Again, you guys don't cuddle so often, but a good opportunity to is during in bed. He still is human after all, despite the names people call him. Once he finally has time to get into bed with you, he'll most likely cuddle you to sleep, needing you near and protected by him, otherwise it'd be hard to sleep with the idea of your body anywhere but on his grasp. It boils his mind dissatisfaction, and there are times he's gotten a little annoyed in secret whenever you didn't feel like cuddling before bed. But that just means he loves you... and that’s not being possessive, right?

D — for domestic. Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning? Fyodor unfortunately isn't the type to want to ‘settle down’ or live a domestic life with you. The Russian deals with too many things already, and the least he wants on his list is to have you in great danger for being with him 24/7. He isn’t against the idea of being with you, that is not a lie- but he has to bring himself to distance just a bit whenever things get too much. Don’t forget who Dostoevsky is, after all.

The farthest you two can commit is staying in the same apartment for a while, or you hanging around his office as he works. In regards to cleaning and cooking… Well, Fyodor can do both. After all, he had a long, long taste of life before he continued to live it with you. He’s not a big enthusiast at these two traits, thinking every being on Earth must know how to handle cooking and cleaning. If he has the time, he’ll cook for you, but majority of the time, you do it for him. If both of you are too exhausted, you two go out to eat at a fancy restaurant of his or your choice.

Well, the possibilities of events that can come out of cooking is out the way, but what about cleaning? Fyodor still knows how to clean well—leaving his office clean, as well as his home. If you could leave the countless of wires as an exception, his office; which where he is most of the time, is pretty empty. There’s light, just never turned on because there’s already such a purplish glow from the screens. Papers are neatly stacked, only a mess on the table and only on the table, never falling to the side one bit. And he’s seen more than a dozen papers to be irritated at one, so mainly, it’s not so hard for him to tidy up after himself. But if he’s tired, he’ll unfortunately have tendencies where he doesn’t care to clean up. He leaves the papers scattered, wires a mess and as his chair creaks a bit, his eyes would be near from closing for good but you try to keep him awake. You tell him to go to his bedroom and rest for now, so that you’ll clean the office for him. And whenever you do… you don’t ask about the files contents. Never ever ask about the files contents.

E — for ending. If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it? Such an easy question for a man like Fyodor Dostoevsky. For times unnumbered, he’s left dozens of people enough to care about another one like you. At least, that’s what you’d assume, right? But actually, Fyodor is a man of patience, so not a lot can be the reason of heartbreak unless you break up with him first. The average reason men create for breakups aren’t things he sympathizes with. Even if you argue with him countless of times, both of you end up in making things out. But there are still a few possible scenarios that’ll force him to initiate, including his work and his beliefs.

An extremely dangerous task would be given to him. Too dangerous that, even if you were as smart as the Russian—there’d be no good benefit coming out of it if he lets you stay. And if it were for his beliefs, he’d take no moment to hesitate to discuss this with you. Not even one second. But much to your pain, you argue with him after Fyodor tries to politely bring up that he wants to end it; and he lets you. He lets you cry your frustration out at him, and even if you were always a silent crier—this took it off the hook. You vent out how you always trusted him, just to initiate a break up? How heartless. And he didn’t give you an explanation either, only making your heart crack deeper. You tried to protest along the way, trying to create reasons to keep the relationship. Or a fix—a solution—anything, for Gods sake. But Fyodor’s choice always wins in the end.

Admitting defeat in the worst way possible, you had yourself basically running away from his home as your salty tears never left your already stained cheeks as you hiccup each sob. Heartless, so heartless, you kept repeating in your head. Fyodor’s way of delivering such a horrible topic made you see him so heartless—he didn’t seem to care one bit about you. Did he ever, in the first place? Your heart was only cracking into pieces the longer you lingered about it. Meanwhile, the Russian was still by his door, watching you flee away with footsteps of your shoes printing along his pathway. Your silhouette was becoming harder to see, gradually disappearing from his view. Fyodor sighed in annoyance, feeling a very uncomfortable twist abusing his heart as he put on his hat quickly, draping that same black coat over his shoulders before he ran; following your steps.

And as expected, you weren’t home yet. You were sat behind a tree in a familiar park—body leaning against the wood as you hugged your knees, unable to return home with the knowledge that his scent was still probably all around your home. You weren’t even looking around, instead you were sobbing with your wrists on your eyes, trying to stop the tears from crashing down as you had to accept his decision. The worlds decision. God’s decision. But before any time could tell, you register a faint shuffling of fabric meet your ears, causing your head to look up and see an awfully familiar sight. Your eyes widen, Fyodor giving you no chance to speak as two of his fingers press your forehead—in a way unfamiliar and uncomfortable. You try to make understanding of it, only to see his eyes narrow with tears near to escape. Fyodor was crying, and it only made your body freeze. He was crying for the first time in your life. Why was he crying? He’s the one who broke up with you. If anything—the only thing he should be crying for is that he’s sorry. But not even a second passes your confusion as you felt a mind-wrecking stab sharply twist your head, unable to hear your own scream as you coughed out a familiar shade of red, realizing your death.

"There will be no need for you to cry now—moya lyubov’."

F — for fiance(e). How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married? Great question. But to be frank, Fyodor most likely would dislike the idea of any other commitment over than becoming your boyfriend, and you becoming his significant other. Again, the world is a place of rigid sights, and Fyodor is one of the few people who is able to live through it all, likely to escape out in any situation most humanity wouldn’t. So it’s natural he thinks a bit different from others, even if it’s for marriage.

Again, no romantic idea that involves his significant other would make him dislike it, but he just thinks marriage isn’t a good option for you and him right now. A lot of things are going on his plate, and he’s sure you have a lot of things as well. Marriage isn’t something that should be rushed, instead—he thinks you two need to spend more time before such commitment is handled. And honestly? You probably didn’t ask about this in the first place, since you expected this answer beforehand. But when somebody like Gogol teased the question; but with also pure curiosity of Fyodor’s reply, the Russian only shook his head, confirming your thoughts which just a shake.

His answer wasn’t something that gave you the right to be upset. He was right, after all. He just wanted some more time of lesser responsibility than he already has and wants to know you far better before he lets your finger wrap around an expensive ring. Which was fine for you, too, after all, God listens to his prayers, right?

G — for gentle. How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally? No no, never expect gentleness coming from Fyodor too often. It’s not to say it never happens, he actually can be gentle if he’s in a good mood—which is like heaven sent to you. But commonly, he’s still pretty calm and careful, it’s just not great to refer it as “gentle”, because it’s not quite like that. It’s… harder to explain. He’s a great surprise, you unable to expect what kind of treatment he’ll give you—if it’s going to be careful or rough.

(Physically,) Fyodor never really hurts you unless the situation calls for it. Perhaps, he’d hurt you a bit in means of punishing you for doing something bad. The punishing doesn’t take longer than even thirty minutes as you’d be quick to be whining and crying, begging him that you’ll be nicer from now on and listen to him. Your whines and cries were like songs to his ears—nearly just as good as the noises a cello can produce—but he wasn’t going to abuse you that far. He might like violence, but he likes you too. Besides punishing you, there’s not really any other reason for him to hurt you like that. So he’s very careful with you, almost gentle, but not quite. His movements are just slow, not enough to be stated as gentle however. He’s never really used to treating anyone gentle, but he tries for you.

(Emotionally), Fyodor never really treats you with only gentleness. Mind the word “only”. He still wants to treat you right, of course, in his own way, so he tries to keep his words and expressions to a limit when dealing with you emotionally. It’s expected that he’ll be a little mean and be constantly reality checking you, but he knows when you really can’t take it anymore. His gentleness seems to always be joined with some shape or taste of another emotion—mostly annoyance or unsympathetic of your emotions—but you know that he still has the gentleness to take part. If he didn’t, then he’d be insulting and calling you names instead of cooing softly in your ear and reminding you of the harsh reality you must face.

H — for hugs. Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like? As stated in letter A and C, he doesn’t really search for hugs like he can’t live without it. Seeing you is enough to satisfy him. But that doesn’t mean he won’t hug you, of course. He likes it when you need his arms around you, pulling yourself close to him as you cared no less of his cold temperature just to have him touching you. It was one of the many things he found so fun about you. It’s not so common to see a human hug a God with the touch of death, after all.

Fyodor doesn’t hug you often, just the right amount that’ll leave you and him content. And his hands on yours was a small little make-up-for-it anyway, so it’s fine. Usually, it’s you who initiates the hug, politely asking if you can hug him—to which he smiles to and accepts, slightly spreading his arms out as you smile at the invite, hugging him tightly. They don’t last long, but definitely enough to keep his scent on yours as you finally let the day continue without asking for another. Because by the end of the day, you’ll feel his hands snake around your hips to hug you from behind, kissing your ears and is just glad to have his things done for now, able to spend tonight with you.

His hugs—oh wow, his hugs. They aren’t warm, that’s for sure. Because of his anemia, his temperature is cold and almost like ice if you wanted to be dramatic, and you’ve gotten to accept it, despite how bad him having anemia can be. You try to tell him about the things he could do to, like take vitamins, but he ends up not doing them anyway. Even if you’re the one who reminds and gently puts them in his mouth, later on, you’ll just be surprised to see them in a trashcan. Because he never swallowed them in the first place. It was sad, honestly, but you can’t force a man, can’t you? It did feel bad that you liked the coldness of his temperature, knowing it wasn’t fine—but you couldn’t help it. He felt so good, balancing the heat of your body with his cold touch as your own heat travels to him, allowing him to warm up whenever you two hug. It felt like a guilty pleasure that you liked his brumal hugs, but to move on; you did like how his fingers carefully slide around your body as you hugged. It was cute, and you liked his gesture a lot.

I — for ‘I love you’. How fast do they say the l-word? Not that quick, that’s for sure. If physical touch was something he’d never so often do, then the next thing to that is words of affirmation. He can lend you words of assurance, encouragement, and many other things you’ll need—but affirmation is something kind of wonky for him. His word always laces up to something sinister, even if he isn’t amidst a fight to play the sarcastic antagonist; which is one of the few reasons why he just doesn’t prefer to show his love through words. Funny, he doesn’t like expressing his love in both words or actions.

Of course, he knows you’ll feel sad without it too, so he tries to speak it up from time to time. Especially during times he notices you upset and lonely, still sat in front of him in his large bedroom as you had your legs on his bed, hugging them while you gazed at his cello mindlessly. He was playing it so skillfully—so well that it made you think that it was just you, Fyodor and the cello in the room with nothing else. Sometimes, when he catches your mindless stare on his cello (or rather his fingers, it’s obvious anyway.), he’d smile with it having a very near twitch to smirk as he softly calls your name out, speaking clearly in between you jumping back to reality to surprise you some more with an, "I love you."

J — for jealousy. How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous? Fyodor isn’t the type to only act according to his jealousy, thankfully. He’s way too smart for such lunacy. He trusts—or rather, he knows not a single human can steal you from him. You had your heart’s priority to him, your vulnerability being taken advantage of as he wraps a lock around your heart, keeping the key near his own heart. Or maybe his heart was the key. Who knew? No person has succeeded anyway. Besides, he knew your acts never intended jealousy to skew out from him. You were too sweet for that.

But there are times… oh, there are those times. He’ll catch you trying to make him jealous once, and from then on—would always notice it every time you try. It was so cute to see and register, Fyodor holding back a smirk as he sees your very short glimpses at him, checking if he had a look of jealousy on his face as he kept a blank stare while you talk to another person. Gogol nor Sigma were enough to try and pull a trigger, knowing that the two wouldn’t really deal with that. Gogol, maybe, but Fyodor is already aware of the clowns fun nature, so a few flirts coming from him sent to you never bothered Fyodor (unless it bothered you, to which, the demon will gladly have a talk with the clown later.). And if you flirted back with Gogol, Fyodor doesn’t seem to be fazed, perhaps thinking it was just silly talk you to engaged. So you had to pick another guinea pig—one that Fyodor had no care to be all ‘friends’ with.

He didn’t care about your attempts, to say it rudely. Because later on, your soft cries and complains will only fill his ears as he keeps your body pressed against his—in a way that hurts just a bit more than his acts right now. He tsk’ed at your attempts of pushing him away, digging his nails deeper into your skin that’ll purchase a squeak of pain coming from you. You were against another wall—most likely a wall from his home as he kept your head lifted up to look at him, embarrassed flushing against your cheeks as your chest rose up and down from the fear. Your smooth body was so cute being peppered with red bruises, no color shifting purple as he of course still wants you well. Even if that was the color of his eyes, he’d rather see red on your body instead. Uncharacteristically enough, it’d be more annoying to see permanent scars on your body too, knowing they’re caused by him. He only likes those that last for a couple while, letting you both remind each other that he’s more than capable enough to bruise you, and mark you like a property until your mind is too embarrassed and goes along with it. But right now, he kind of wished he could contradict that statement, even if he can’t in means to still keep you breathing. Those dark amethyst eyes were staring at you with such anger in them, his lips slightly parted as he tried to breath out all the pent up jealousy. He hadn’t said a sentence, most words coming out in small little groups as he only kept hurting your body inch by inch. Meanwhile, your tears stained your puffy cheeks as he kissed your lip softly, squeezing you tight as you whimpered at the pain with eyes fluttering shut. Maybe making him jealous… isn’t such a good idea, after all.

K — for kisses. What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed? Such a pretty question. Much, much like his kisses. Fyodor’s kisses are like a sent from God himself—so intoxicating despite how dry his lips can be sometimes due to the lesser effort of self-care he ends up doing. But with you now, you always put chapstick on his lips whenever given the opportunity to disturb him, because the feeling of his lips on yours? Goodness, it drives you wild.

Soft pecks on your cheek was one of the other things he did to assure you he still loves you. Probably second in place to his hands on yours—he’ll do it daily while talking about what’s on his mind. Or while listening to you, too. He just finds your cheeks too cute to be ignored, even if he isn’t staring at them. But besides your cheeks, he’ll kiss you anywhere. From your neck, to your hand—goodness. Your hands… they drove him crazy, much like how his kisses drove you crazy too. Each finger, each delicate little finger, he’d kiss with such soft pace, like your hands were self knitted by God. Maybe your cheeks did have some competition, huh?

As to where Fyodor likes being kissed… well, he doesn’t really care. A kiss from you is a kiss from you—loving each second your lips press onto his skin to mark a soft faint of color on it, depends if you wear lip products. If you didn’t, the expression would stay on his thoughts as if it marked them too. He knows every inch of his body that you’ve kissed, able to smile at the thought. So really, it doesn’t matter. He’ll accept your kiss either way, right? …But on second thought, maybe there is an exception. He never mentions it, like ever, but he likes it when you kiss his fingers too. He finds your lips so soft yet so intoxicating, able to send him feeling like fire was rushing through him as your toxic kisses take over. It allowed him to sigh from the feeling, so pleased with how you treated his hands with a side you don’t really show often. He always bites the skin of his thumbs as his habit, so he’s always been too uncomfortable staring at the mess he makes. But whenever you play, he just can’t help but stare at you—seeing your loving gaze on his fingers as you kiss them so sweetly, either unconsciously or intentionally. It was one of the very few ways to combat his habit.

L — for little ones. How are they around children? Surprisingly, you’ve never seen him hurt a child before. Fyodor was a patient guy, always replacing any anger with a kind smile in case the kid was causing something to anger him. Of course, you were beside him too, pressing your hand on his arm in attempts to calm him down. He had no means to harm children for nothing, especially those so innocent and pure. He liked those full of want for freedom, too. So cute.

But contradicting the things just said… he’s definitely still capable enough to hurt, and even kill children. He’s killed teenagers, he’s killed young adults, adults, probably even elderly, for damns sake. So children shouldn’t be out of the equation, in fact—maybe it was the first on the list as well. He loved the twisted look on children’s faces before got hurt by him—especially when they die in the end. Saving kids from sin and consequences for them to soon experience… he even thinks they should be thankful he gave them a free ride to salvation instead,

Besides that, he still has self-control. He won’t just go killing kids for no reason, there always has to be a reason. A reason so deep in it that’ll cause him to stain blood in his hands. But if no sin is left unpunished? Fyodor is a quiet and collected guy around children, a lot idolizing his calm demeanor with a playful, albeit fake, smirk. So don’t worry about him killing any future children you two might have.

M — for morning. How are mornings spent with them? Pretty decent, actually. Don’t get it mistaken—it’s not everyday you sleep with Fyodor to also see the man beside the bed the next day. When these days occur, he also leaves the bed earlier than you, not 'cause he wants to, he just needs to, you know? He does a lot of things in the morning too, so he wants them quickly done before or right about after you wake up, so he can spend a bit of time checking up on you before you both actually start to prepare for the day.

But there are also times where he stays in bed a bit longer to stare at you, as uncharacteristic it may be. He can’t help it, however, seeing your hair a pretty mess as you had your eyelashes shut, supporting your sleepy eyes as you quietly snored. You were still drifting in your sleep quite heavily. You must’ve been tired. Fyodor understands, however. Still cuddling your body, he pulls you closer, resting his hand on your chest while he kisses your head once before listening to your heartbeat. Just a few more minutes, as they say.

If it was both of you that woke up together, soft giggles from you would be the first gift of the day to Fyodor’s ears as he returned the gesture with a soft smile, asking you if you want anything first things first. Shaking your head no, you ask if he’s busy before following it up with a “can I please touch your hair?”, making him laugh quietly. You really can’t resist, can’t you? But he can’t resist your cute face either. Nodding, he pulls you close, to which you happily accept as a yes. He reminds, “just for a few minutes, milaya” to which you just chuckle to, humming an okay while you toy your hands around his soft hair.

N — for night. How are nights spent with them? Not that far away from mornings. He won’t really sleep first until you do, though. No matter how sleepy he can be, it all seems to fade away once he finds you unable to sleep first. Is something bothering his sweet milaya, he wonders? No worries, he still has some energy to engage a conversation in regards to his lovers thoughts. Need a hug? Sure. Cuddle to bed? Even better. He’ll do quite a lot to help you fall asleep, even if it makes him more exhausted.

To put a contradicting spin, back then; he actually was able to handle sleeping without caring about you unable to sleep. After all, you also didn’t share this fact before that often. He notices it, but doesn’t talk about it, mainly because you also don’t.

But nowadays, he doesn’t want to sleep without seeing your eyes shut first. It usually gets a simple fix with him peppering you more kisses, or him humming you a tune, but if it’s all at worse—best choice is to give you a sleeping pill. Heart warming at his concern, you try all of these with him. The first two possibilities of attempt commonly work, the sleeping pill being out of the equation as it’s quick to let you sleep. Sleeping in his arms, Fyodor holds back a smile as he shuts his own eyes, finally gifted with that well-needed rest.

O — for open. When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly? Fyodor doesn’t like talking about himself a lot. No, really—he does like to talk about his interests and abilities, philosophies and beliefs in this life, yes, but his personal life is too… he’s too ‘bothered’ for him to remember it all. But it doesn’t mean that he will never. After all, getting to know your lover is also important in a relationship. He does say a few things about himself here and very rarely there, but if all were to put on a scale—he probably knows more about you. Half of it…? Found out by his own ways.

When you once asked if he could talk more about himself, you were pretty quick to be replied with his other beliefs in life. As well as his hobbies—skills, the way he knows how to play cello and violin—you could only stop him by snapping your fingers worriedly as you shook your head, explaining to him that you meant personal things. Fyodor smiled, as if he knew all along what you meant as he sighed quietly, taking your hand in his as he pulls you to his lap again, pausing from his quiet staring at the beautiful view you two were watching. He’s got a better view to watch now, anyway.

"My, had I not foreseen such curiosity," He spoke with such benevolence, "You will know more about me as I delicately take my time with you, my dear." the smile softening as he twirls his teaspoon that was sitting elegantly on his cup of tea. You fluster a bit, but nonetheless nod as you apologize for asking such a question. He politely accepts your apology, thankfully. So to put it short—no, Fyodor does not say everything all at once. He is a man that will wait a while to reveal things slowly.

P — for patience. How easily angered are they? Only easy if he knows you intend to make him angry. But if it is by means you don’t want to, he has a big stock of patience to handle with you. Fyodor loves you a lot, so his patience for you is much more than the amount he gives to others. Way more than the others.

Whenever you want to make him angry for whatever gormless reason you may have, Fyodor will immediately notice this like blinking an eye as your behavior changes a bit once committing to the ‘mission’. He might not know why right away, but he definitely is capable of knowing when if the time falls for it. After all, it’s so fun for his eyes to see your expressions hold back the proud smiles of seeing him faking the look of being angry, thinking your plan was going well. But it’ll all only make his eyes flicker with light, lips into a messed up smirk once he sees your surprised face that he knew all along, already wondering how he’ll treat you later. Accept your apology, or punish you? Oh, only scenario can tell.

But for times when you don’t actually know he gets angry at whatever you’re doing, he’ll occasionally be very, very patient with you during so. Carefully taking your hands from behind, he shakes his head slightly as his coat tickles your shoulders. His voice is much less rougher, more quieter on the side as he tries to explain you onto stopping whatever was making him angry. And if it was words that you spilled, well, it was harder to control his patience if that was so, but he’ll most likely just continue the topic till you’re satisfied or push the topic away with another. Fyodor isn’t easy to get angry if his patience is on his side, is all.

Q — for quizzes. How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything? This is Fyodor Dostoevsky you’re dating, don’t forget. This is the man who once memorized fifty-two poker cards just by the faint differences of their scratches in just a matter of hours. Wont that alone prove to you just how much he can remember about you?

From your preferred scent of cologne, to what position you like to sit in—god, even to something absurd as what blinking pattern you have that changes in regards to your emotions? He knows it all. From what sounds you don’t like hearing, how you’d describe your interests in every detail, he loves you too much to let your voice come out the other ear. He knows a lot about you. Maybe even everything if you want to sugarcoat it.

Sometimes, you don’t even have to remind him what you like. There are very often instances where you’d be at your favorite restaurant, sat opposite from him as you watched the busy road surge with cars and motorcycles, the twinkling stars catching your gaze while you had your eyes focused, distracted from ordering. Fyodor, who was reading the menu, was quick to be interrupted by a waitress who inquired orders. Fyodor turns to stare at you, holding back a smile before he looks back up to the waitress, quick to tell her your favorite dish. Even with your specifications if you had any. You could only hear the waitress comment, "I see they order this often, sir." your eyes blinking as your head moves to see them, seeing Fyodor’s small smile directed at you before your cheeks flush. Oh..

R — for remember. What is their favorite moment in your relationship? Definitely the first time you two met. The mix of emotions you had in your face after seeing the demon always makes his lips escape a very faint smirk, eyes only shutting at the remembrance of it. You were so cute back then, and you still are. Maybe even cuter than ever. From the way your fingers twitched when you first met him, giving him a behavior he’s never tasted in so long, oh, he just wants to squeeze you again remembering that moment. You were like an angel who ceased to fought with the demon back then—only to be now captured by his sinful touch. Your touch wasn’t as innocent either, so whats there to be called unfair? He just won a contend that ‘you caused’, that’s all.

But if you want a specific moment during the romantic relationship, then it’d for sure be the times you wear his accessories. His coat, his hat. Simple acts like that made him feel like you were connected to him in some way, almost able to smell the very, very subtle scent of your cologne on his coat whenever he wears it again. You always ask permission to wear it, of course, which only end up printing more cute time for him to remember.

Speaking of which… he does like to think about another specific moment you two had. And it’s also involved with his accessories as you once were sat on the ground, his coat on your shoulders with your hands squeezing his hat, tears wetting your puffy face as your body touched against a wall. It’d been days—no, weeks since you last saw Fyodor. He left without a say, leaving you in the apartment you two usually share when you or him miss the others company. But unbeknownst to you, he was already in the room, eyes slightly widened as he saw you crying so pathetically on the ground, clenching his hat from how badly you missed him. It took a good second or two to make him smile at the sight, quick to kneel down to finally give you attention after a long while of also missing you. Of needing you again. As the sight of your cute face stained with tears, trembling hands clenched on his hat linger in his mind everyday, he smirks at the satisfaction of knowing how well his plan worked.

S — for security. How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected? Fyodor knows you can handle yourself, so there’s no need for him to be too protective of you. But if all comes to an issue, just know things get messy if he’s the one who needs to protect you. Either by words or physically, depending on who or what’s harming you. Only he can harm you, that’s what he believes in.

Don’t expect him to argue with somebody by taking the initiative of fighting with them physically, though. His body is weak to handle punches, especially if the opponent is more stronger than he is. But not to worry… he does have an ability that comes in aid. If the other party pulls the triggers of his that much, then yeah, expect a bloody ending. But if not, he’ll win the lead with logical words to insult their dumb brains. He finds it better like that, only having his hands on yours as he makes the other side feel like they’ve been spit on the face with a collected smirk on his lips.

Regarding to if he likes to be protected… no. He can handle himself very well, so he won’t need your protection. He might tell you to use that strength for your own self-defense, insisting you he won’t need it, but he finds your concern and justice of fighting for him cute. But to put short, no, he doesn’t want you to protect him alone. Rather, he wants you to protect yourself so that you also protect him in a way beneficial for both.

T — for try. How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks? Fyodor actually puts a lot of effort into all examples above. What other way can he do such other than this? If he doesn’t want to show his love to you by words or actions, gifts is the last resort he typically goes to. As the famous joke goes, ‘he’d give a whole country to you as a gift’. The joke even goes stretching to ‘the whole world’. And.. well, if Fyodor truly wanted to, he could do both. But he doesn’t see you right to rule the world. Country, maybe, after all—humans are easy to replace. If you ended up having them wiped out, no worries, own the whole land to yourself then. After all, you’re so greedy that you stay with a guy like Fyodor to satisfy your needs, right?

You’d most likely see the effort in gifts and anniversaries much more than the rest, especially gifts. You love how classy and elegant he can be, but also is able to stick to whatever you like as he gifts you so many things each month, all being as good as the others. They’re all so expensive you, you start to worry for his financial state. Sometimes, you tell him not to worry about gifts as long as he was with you everyday, but he can’t seem to comprehend your concern as you still receive gifts every month. And don’t get started with anniversaries. Anniversaries… each one feels like you experiencing excitement for the first time ever. Thrill, romantic thrill. It’s like you feel all these cheesy and bubbly things for the first time in one night, even if you do pretty much every day.

You keep his efforts on shelves and closets, it having its own room in your home. Locked by a door only you and Fyodor have access to, it was filled with so much luxurious and beautiful things—most are outfits and accessories for you to wear each anniversary, date, or even just for every day needs. He finds you so effortlessly pretty wearing his stuff on you, another way of letting himself know that you were his, and he was near to smile at such fact. It’s fine, you thought you were his as well.

U — for ugly. What would be some bad habits of theirs? No questions asked, his habit of biting his skin and nails is the major habit you don’t like. It makes you feel so bad, seeing him biting over and over again after telling you that he wouldn’t anymore. You know he doesn’t mean to disappoint or break what he said to you, but it just makes your heart worry with what can happen if he keeps up this habit.

You could only try to help him fight his habit by constantly looking at his hands or holding them, but that isn’t much of a permanent solution as he still has places where he needs to go without you, as well as he needs both his hands to work. You try to remind him about his habit before he leaves, to which he tells you that he’ll try to find a way to keep it minimum. And, while he is capable of limiting it whenever you remind him before leaving, he still ends up doing so.

You understand it’s extremely hard to control it, even for a formidable guy like Fyodor. So you just try to soothe him down after, asking him if he needs anything as you refrain from touching his hands for a good while, knowing that if you put too much friction the second he just processed fresh bites on his skin to be bleeding would hurt a lot. Instead, you try to play with his hair instead—if he allows you to, of course. Besides his sign of dermatophagia, that’s all you really don’t like. At least, that’s what your mind focuses onto.

V — for vanity. How concerned are they with their looks? Fyodor still cares about his appearance the same way everyone does as well. It might be hard to believe it with his hair appearing too ruffled and messy, but he does brush it everyday. It’s just the way it is, and he doesn’t really care to do anything about it. His outfit is presentable enough, so he doesn’t do any change about that either. There will be days where he also wears more than just the same coat with purple and white tints of clothing—appearing in outfits that elegantly twirl with his shape.

And as to who picks the outfits? Besides him, he also lets you choose sometimes. He wants to know your opinion as well, possibly learn even more about you than he already has. You understand he likes his coat and hat to give up, so you pick outfits that compliment these accessories well—and you usually end up with a nodding Fyodor, agreeing with your choices with a faint smile. With anniversaries and dates as an exception, you two never really go outside together to prevent unwanted attention; so it’s always a happy blessing in your eyes whenever he tells you to get dressed so he can softly take your hand in his to bring you to his car and drive to the stores he always goes to.

Given such, he doesn’t have that many options in his closet. But granted, it’s a lot to keep him entertained with many outfit combinations. You knew he didn’t want to spend much effort on appearance when he already had a lot of picks to satisfy it anyway, so you didn’t pester him with it. And it didn’t really matter that much to the both of you—since you knew you’d still love him no matter what he wore.

W — for whole. Would they feel incomplete without you? Fyodor Dostoevsky isn’t the type to feel incomplete without anybody. In fact, he’s pretty much incomplete in the first place. Because in the end, the only way to feel complete is when salvation is met.

If he spends a large chunk of his time without your presence, then that’s fine. He can handle himself just as much, knowing that you’re waiting for him as he waits for his time to come back to yours. Most cases, his leaves are planned, so he takes his time to spent a bit of extra time with you before he leaves. It makes you miss him more while it makes him content to the missing feeling more. It’s a bit unfair, but you get all the sorry kisses and cuddles after, so it’s okay.

But if he were to lose you, hm. It’d be hard to say, since it’s evident that his mind already has the plan of your death—and the only option for you is to die by his touch, with nothing else interfering than that. The thought of your lifeless body in his arms by the cause that wasn’t even his yet makes his blood boil, eyes shifting to an uncomfortable narrow as red seems to overtake his mind. Yet you know what’s worse than the thought? The thought of hearing another threaten that you were dead, without Fyodor seeing the dead body in person. The thought- no, the mention alone—it made his mind twitch, as if that was even possible. It made his hands twitch, eyebrows—even as far as his eyes as he carefully studied the idea with murder in his mind. It’s scary how his own thoughts can backfire on him, his ears registering a familiar sob as he soon snaps back to reality; seeing you a trembling sort on the floor. A few bruises on your delicate skin as blood and cuts were a mess on his clenched fists. The room was at its disorder—glasses and marble surfaces stained with the blood of his and yours on Fyodor’s hands. He could only curse under his breath at the sight.

So guess, what do you think he’d do?

X — for xtra. A random headcanon for them. Shortest of all since this isn’t a given prompt, but it’d be cute to think that Fyodor would be very delighted whenever he sees you try to study the cello. Well, with not his signature cello, obviously—but perhaps his others that he barely uses, or even one you bought just to practice; which would creep up bonus points.

If you knew how to play the cello beforehand, that’s great. He’d love that fact just as much, inviting you for cello duets with songs you knew he loved to play, with such a faint but much more loving smile on his face. If you wanted your cello skills to shine more, don’t worry—he’ll play the violin instead.

Meanwhile, if you didn’t know how to, he’d watch you from the other side, an entertained smile on his face as you either struggle or having the most curious expression on your own as you study the cello within your own pace. Granted, if you fail a bit—the noises that come out of the cello will make him irritated, but it’s not your fault for him to get all angry for. So he’s patient with it, leaving you shy as he keeps watching you for each lesson you try.

Y — for yuck. What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner? He wouldn’t like those who are overly competitive, unfortunately. But that’s only a small portion of his dislikes, so if you were a bit competitive—it’d be fine. As long as you knew how to control yourself, he might even tag along with some. He just doesn’t find a good outcome out of competitiveness. Correct, some surprising and fun reactions or surprises of secrecy might come out from the boiling emotions, but he finds it too much of an energy sucker and he hates the look of people when they stubbornly can’t accept defeat in the way he doesn’t enjoy seeing them react like.

And to put things more frank, he doesn’t like competitive people because he has lesser control of them. Competitiveness is an act of a persons desire to surpass others, so it’d need Fyodor to take much more lengths and more energy to twist these determined minds into a despairing mess just because these individuals didn’t take defeat right away. They fight back much more than the average, and Fyodor doesn’t like that. It just bothers him so much—to feel less than a God towards these… moronic people. If he didn’t know better, he would’ve killed them all just because they were competitive.

However, it is mentioned that if you were competitive but knew how to kept a limit, then he doesn’t really have a complaint. Set aside personality traits, one thing that he’ll fail to ignore is when one has beliefs that contradict his own. He doesn’t care if somebody doesn’t have specific beliefs or have beliefs that don’t connect to what he believes in as long as it doesn’t clash with his, but if Fyodor meets a person who actively hates what he bets on, it’ll make him frustrated to the bone.

Z — for zzz. What is a sleep habits of theirs? Fyodor doesn’t technically have a sleeping habit, however he does sleeps when he’s extremely spent. If he’s only a tad bit tired, he doesn’t care. He needs his exhaustion to reach a certain point before he takes a break, taking a nap or sleeping the whole night in. Now, don’t take letter N the wrong way—Fyodor can still sleep without you, he just can’t sleep together with you when he doesn’t see you sleep first.

But set aside such, whenever he’s left to be sleeping by himself, he’ll have a… weird gesture where he would use his coat instead of a blanket to wrap himself up as he sleeps. It mostly happens during naps, but there have been times where he sleeps with just his coat as a blanket too. It’s not that great hygiene wise, since if he went outside any point of the day he decides to sleep with it as a blanket at night—it’d be lingering a smell uncomfortable to have in your bed, and on him in general.

So whenever you catch him asleep like that, you contemplate for a bit if you should wake him up or not to take off his coat. You couldn’t do it sneakily either—he’s not that much of a deep sleeper, so any move given and he’ll come at you, near to kill you with his ability before he fails to realize it was you. The thought of such makes your shoulders shake as you shook your head, not liking the thought. Majority of the time, you’ll just drape a blanket on him carefully, or actually wake him up—but in a way that won’t have you touching him. Perhaps by softly calling his name or shaking an object that’ll purchase a loud noise. But there are also times where you just let him sleep as is, knowing he’s too tired to deal with you right now, and that’s okay. So long as he rests.

yeiii requests open ^^/, amh if it's not a bother, I wanted headcanons for jamil, rook and vil with their mc fem who is very overprotective and affectionate with her little sister (who is rlly cute :'3) even on several occasions they find them playing together to the manicure or beauty salon like they pretend to be ladies who tell each other gossip and everything xd , it's all thanks <33

Word Count: 1066

Warnings: None!

Author Note: I was a little confused as to how to write this, but I tried my best! I hope I conveyed what you had wanted anon :)

Prompt: Reader has a younger sister who they're affectionate and overprotective of.

┊ ➶ ｡˚ 　　°

Requests are Open [Here]! Please read the rules first!!

Jamil just gets it. Having a younger sister of his own he understands the overprotective nature that can come with the older sibling package.

What he doesn’t understand is how affectionate you are towards your younger sister. He himself has never been like that with Najma, so it was foreign for him. But something about it was really sweet and he couldn’t help but smile when you talked about her.

“What did you and your sister do today?” he asks.

“Oh we did so much! I took her out to a nail salon to get our nails done. She’s been asking me to go and I couldn’t help but give in.” 

“Did you have fun?” 

“Of course! We pretended to be gossipping like in the movies, but in reality we were just talking about a movie we saw a bit ago.” you laugh, recalling the memories.

Jamil had thought it was cute that you loved your younger sister so much. There were plenty of instances where he caught you two playing around and left you two be. Though he’d be a liar if he said he didn’t want to possibly join in. It wasn’t that he wanted to join in because of the activity, but just to spend time with you. He loves you and loves your sister, but sometimes he can’t help but feel a little jealous that she seems to be getting more attention than him. It was petty he knows, but as long as you two could spend time together, he didn’t mind if your sister tagged along.

“Are you going to be with your sister today?” he asks cooly.

“Yeah, it’s our spa day today!” you exclaimed.

“Do you mind if I come along? I can bring some snacks.”

“What!? Really!? Of course you can come along!” 

“Alright, I’ll start preparing the snacks. Let me know when it starts.”

“Will do.”

Rook is someone who’s completely unphased. He actually finds it absolutely beautiful that you love your sibling as much as you do. Not to mention how hard you fight to protect her. It’s beaute! (as he would say, or rather exclaim).

Whenever he hears about your escapades with your sister he eagerly asks to come along to the next one. To which you oblige and you three always end up having the best time.

“I hear you’re going out, may I accompany you two?” he eagerly asks.

“Well I don’t see why not.” you shrug.

“Yay! One more person to gossip with!” your younger sister giggles.

“Aw you’re just so cute. Like a petit lapin in the springtime for the first time.” 

While your sister finds Rook a little bit odd, she still likes him and finds him funny and expressive so she loves having him around.

Rook was always delighted to accompany you and your sister. As you two were to him. Anytime spent with you was enough for him. It was only a bonus that your sister was there too. 

While two makes company and three makes a crowd, he’d disagree with that full heartedly. Three make just as much company as two would without it being a crowd. He loves playing around with you and your sister as there’s so much beauty within sibling love.

However there are instances where it’s just you and your sister. To which you obviously don’t mind. So you watch movies together or just play around like utter fools. Little do you know a certain hunter was carefully watching over you two from the trees.

“Ah, what a beautiful sibling relationship. One can only help but wish they had what you two have.” he says under his breath, a dreamy sigh escaping his lips.

Vil finds your overprotectiveness cute. Even though he’s never had a sibling of his own, he can easily understand your willingness to protect your younger sister. Heck, if he had a younger sibling he’d most likely act the exact same.

In a way, because he lacks siblings of his own he somewhat seems to take your sister under his wing and sometimes spoil and dote on her. To which you don’t particularly mind, you’re quite relieved that they get along. 

If you lack any clothing knowledge? Make-up knowledge? He’s got it all. Whenever you two are going to play dress up or go to some sort of salon, she always asks if Vil can be there. You truly have no reason to say no, hence if he’s not booked up from his job, he’ll join you guys without a second thought.

“Are we going to go out today?” Your younger sister will ask.

“Well of course, you said you wanted to go to the clothing store for some new clothes.” 

“WAIT!” Her sudden burst of energy startles you.

“What is it?” 

“Can Vil come along! He knows so much about clothes and I really want him to help me.” 

“I could ask, but I can’t guarantee anything. He’s very busy, you know.” You sigh, taking out your phone.

You shoot him a quick text. You knew that it was slightly sudden as you and your sister were just about to leave, but only a minute passes by and he responds.

“Oh! He said he’ll be here in a few minutes!” You smile at your sister.

She squeals in response, jumping around in utter glee. 

“You’re so cute you know!” You exclaim, putting your arms around her, pulling her into a semi-tight hug. “God I could just eat you up, nom nom nom!”

“Stop that!” she laughs, jokingly trying to push you away. 

You two stay like that for a little while longer as you wait for him. While you were in the middle of a play fight, you heard the doorbell ring. When you had tried to get up from your position from smothering your sister (with your love), she grabbed your hand and followed you to the door.

From the outside of the door, Vil could hear you two messing around. A small smile graces his usually stern face and a low laugh climbs its way out of his throat.

“They’re so cute.” he whispers, just as you open the door.

“Are you ready?” You ask him, a giant smile on your face.

“Only if you two are.” 

“ALWAYS!” Your sister responds happily, running towards him.

“I’m glad, let’s get going.” He said, taking her hand in his.

Breaks down invisible door

Looks at you with firey eyes

Laughs

Hey hey hey looks like we both like Whace, eh? Care to share a few headcanons? I'll throw in a bonus! I'll reblog and add mine hehehe :3

Also BOOP

BOOP!!

Anyways, yeah! I do like Whace! Not only because the ship name is fun and silly, but also because I think the way Whit and Ace bounce off each other is a very entertaining concept. On with the headcanons!

-It took the two of them forever to get together, since Whit, what with his ever-present trouble with love, was too scared to try and confess his feelings. And Ace was also too scared, since he’s scared of everything but especially showing vulnerability like that. Eventually, Whit managed to tell Ace about his feelings, but Ace wasn’t sure if he was joking or not and so Whit had to try and clarify. Overall it was awkward but worth it when they finally got together.

-Whit loves PDA but Ace is very easily embarrassed by it. So they meet in the middle by doing secret PDA, like holding hands under the table where no one can see (Arei has made it her mission to catch them whenever they do stuff like that and tease them for it)(Ace gets mad and Whit gets disappointed because Ace will immediately stop doing whatever affectionate thing he was doing).

-Whit really likes doing Ace’s nails. Ace, comforted by the fact that he wears gloves most of the time so no one will actually see his nails, lets Whit do whatever crazy designs he wants. He’d never admit it but he really likes them.

-Similarly, Whit likes to try and do makeup on Ace. Ace can do eyeliner, so he’ll do that on Whit, but Whit likes to go all out. He’s always sad when Ace washes it off.

-They help each other with dying their hair. Whit’s is slightly more complicated, since he dyes his hair blonde and pink, but Ace tries his best. Whit has to help teach him how to properly just dye the edges the first time.

-Whit likes playing with Ace’s hair in general. Ace is a little cagey when it comes to letting people touch his hair but he doesn’t mind as much when it’s Whit.

-Whit finds much entertainment in teasing Ace just to see him all flustered. Whether that be with compliments, physical affection, or the occasional dirty joke (He likes to use atrociously bad pick-up lines sometimes, too, just to see Ace’s reaction).

-I’m not one to talk about nsfw too much…But Whit tops. ;)

-Hehe time for a very self-indulgent one. Whit found out Ace likes to read romance novels and would not let it go. Now they have a book club with just the two of them as members.

-Ace tends to get embarrassed when expressing his feelings for Whit through words, so sometimes he’ll buy him gifts instead, just small little things to show he cares. Whit keeps them all in a box to cherish forever.

-Whit has decided that Ace is his new favorite bed. He likes to sleep on Ace’s lap and chest, which confuses Ace, but he doesn’t really mind. Even on the off chance he does, he usually doesn’t have the heart to make Whit get off of him.

-Whit likes to tease Ace about how he’s one inch taller, calling Ace cute and petite and generally being a menace by pretending they have this huge height difference.

-Ace, being quite strong thanks to working out a lot, can carry Whit around. He usually does this when he’s fed up with Whit teasing him and wants to turn the tables on him. Sometimes it works, other times Whit just giggles and calls himself a captured princess.

-Whit loves to text 🩷 emojis at Ace all the time. An excessive amount, honestly. Ace will sometimes text him back <3.

-Ace will get really mad when someone is mean to Whit, unsurprisingly, but also unsurprisingly doesn’t do too much besides scold the person and swear at them. If someone’s mean to Ace, Whit won’t immediately do anything. But he‘ll get really quiet, making a 🙂 face, and on the inside you can tell he’s plotting their death.

-At every opportunity, Whit will take whatever pen/marker is lying around during class and doodle a heart on Ace’s arm. He thinks it’s cute. Ace glares at him whenever he does it, but puts in a noticeable amount of effort not to wash it off when he takes a shower.

———

Hmm, I think that’s all for now. Maybe I’ll add more if I think of any I forgot or if I think of any new ones. This list turned into a lot more than a few headcanons but I regret nothing.

full on link on pic About why Arl was remembered by Mag ___ 1p Magellan: Memorable prisoners. Yes, there was one… Arlong… 2р Magellan: He was unusual… In every sense… I began to stare at him even before we got to know each other better… Arlong: Damn humans… They dared to drench me… Everything is wet now… Magellan: What's he like… beautiful… Where am I going?! Does he have two?! How dare he? 3р Magellan: He endured torture with fortitude, and sometimes even kidded Arlong: Is that all? Jinbe fucked me up even more... Magellan: He had such a cold and determined look that it seems as if he would stop at nothing. Magellan: He managed to steal everything that wasn't nailed to the floor. Guard 1: Have you seen the keys? Guard 2: Yes, there were somewhere here Arlong: Shahaha! Where they were, they haven't been there for a long time. Magellan: One of the strangest things that aroused my interest in him from time to time was that he wasn't afraid of me at all. Arlong: Shahaha! You can give me a full taste of your venom! 4р Magellan: It's even strange, because he's always looking for benefits…. Arlong: Wow, the boss himself wants to make a deal with me… What do I get, huh? Magellan: And later it turned out that his language is talented not only in chatter... 5p Magellan: He was also the only one who was released from Impel-down… And he managed to crash there again… Both: You again?! Arlong: And don't tell me you didn't miss me. Magellan: Impel-down will turn into a madhouse again! ___ note - It is not known exactly which prison Arlong was put in, it is not disclosed in the original, but they could have taken him to Impel Down. Which is quite ironic in his case. ___ Bonus pic Actually As soon as they were alone^ Arlong: I thought I'd never see you again! Magellan: Why did you mess up so much? I would be free now… Both: I didn't think I could get so attached to someone… That he would be missed… And that he would remember me… After all, 8 years have passed…

BSD Genderswap universe hc for the Port Mafia

- The organisations are really tight Knitted; the PM goes to rave once a year in order to relax. Here’s how it usually goes:

Chuuya would force Akutagawa to dress up for the party.

Their outfits:

- Akutagawa would wear a blank singlet, black frilly skirt, tights and B&W stripped detached sleeves. (imagine misa from death note) She feels utterly embarassed and cold most of the time

- Chuuya probably wears a skimpy top that’s self tied. She has a ton of faith on the top that it wouldn’t fall off. I imagine her with a large cowboy hat and her hair is let down (I think she has long hair down to her butt but in her normal PM outfit, her hair is styled in front of her chest like male Chuuya and it somehow looks shorter)

- Kōyō wore a black turtle neck and black pants. Classic man. He doesn’t party but he watches over the younger ones

- Higuchi wears a red ripped sleeveless crop top, black ripped jeans and tons of metal chains/accessories. He has a black lip and earrings. He still wears his normal sunglasses on his head and his fringe is pulled back

- Gin wears a black T shirt and ripped blue jeans. Super casual. (At the end of the night, a drunk Higuchi would be clinging onto Gin and tearing off his shirt sleeves and shouting at him to take risks)

- Tachihara wears a tight sleeveless crop top and baggy jeans. She also has glow in the dark bracelets for some reasons. Her hair is in those bubble ponytails but they would come undone by the end of the night. Tachihara, Gin and Higuchi did each other nails. Tachihara has green nails, Gin has blue nails and a higuchi has red nails.

The 6 of them would attend a festival with a myriad of stalls then party and drink all night. They would end their night with a dance party where they rent a studio with a dance machine. Chuuya and Higuchi were monsters on the dancefloor. Rumour has it, that the duo who holds the dance high score were two VERY well known mafia women (ahem fem skk) and ever since Dazai left, Chuuya has never been able to find an adequate partner. Higuchi was the best choice.

Every member will get the spotlight at least once to show off their moves and pick a song:

Deli by Ice Spice (he drunkenly chose this and went with it) : Higuchi can somehow breakdance and spin on his head

Sexy Naughty Bitchy Me by Tata Young : Chuuya twirls in the air like a helicopter and bends her body like a straw. Bonus, she dances so sensually that Kōyō had to pry her off the dance floor before she starts stripping

I’m sexy and I know it (Tachihara found the song funny) : Tachihara just screams instead of dancing properly because she’s drunk

Some random upbeat song : Gin does some simple subtle swaying and moves

Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson : Akutagawa cannot dance. She usually escapes this portion but this year, she HAS to do a dance and she felt like breaking down as all eyes were on her. But then, she remembered that she learnt something from that stupid weretiger.

Yes, that idiotic selfish weretiger taught her something.

The art of shuffling.

Atsushi cannot dance but she’s a pretty good shuffler and the shuffler bug infected Akutagawa. She was naturally amazing at shuffling which shocked all of them

They would pass out for the rest of the morning until Mori finds them and wakes them up. Sometimes before Chuuya passes out, she’ll drunk dial Dazai to buy her Starbucks in the morning. Dazai always remembers her order.

Dazai did join the PM rave parties. In fact, she was the lone high scorer for any individual dances. As an executive and one of—if not is—the most revered woman in the mafia, she has loads of niche skills to impress her targets. One of it, was her dancing. She can learn the rhythm and dance of any tune in one siting and her hand leg coordination is skilful.

The next morning, all of them showed up with black sunglasses and mismatched socks.

Lmk if y’all want me to draw their rave outfits hehe🤫

Imagine being la squadra's child

You were found by Risotto at the age of six. Being on the street without anyone, looking scared and miserable. That's why he took you to his team's base.

At first you were expected to be allowed to live with them while they searched for your family. Yes, but something went wrong and they got too attached to you. And the first time you called one of them "dad". Oh boy.. Of course they decided to keep you as their child.

Risotto always made sure you were okay physically and mentally. He didn't even noticed how he became overprotective of you. You were his smol and cute child, how could he not? Now that you have become a teenager, this feeling hasn't disappeared. He always makes sure that you have eaten and slept well.

And if he's on mission and can't make sure of it himself, there's Prosciutto for that. He never expected to take care of a child, so he treats this whole situation very strictly and responsibly. You know this kind of parents who remember everything about their children from their interests to their favourite blanket? Yeah, that's Prosciutto. In general, he is very responsible for your upbringing, wanting to raise an educated person. You even have evenings where you discuss literature together. Of course, he's sometimes annoyed by questions like "would you love me if I turned into a bug?", but he won't complain. Speaking of literature and education..

Melone is your tutor in all possible subjects. Now you know biology especially well, congrats. Sometimes Ghiaccio can help you with physics or math. These two are a lot of fun to spend time with. If you want philosophical conversations in the kitchen at night, these are your people. Just try not to make Ghiaccio angry, you'll wake everyone else up. But usually you just drink tea with the question "what is life".

Pesci is like your older bro (which makes him very happy). Sometimes you go fishing together, it's your special bonding time. If you like coffee, then you always drink his portion of it so that Prosciutto does not see.

Formaggio and Illuso... how could you forget your funny dads. Do you want to learn how to drive? Go ahead, we'll go with you, just make sure not to kill us all. Did Prosciutto stops you from eating sweets at night? Who is Prosciutto? I hear this name for the first time, here's your favourite one kid. Ah yes, they refers you as "kid". They started calling you that when you first met, and it continues to this day. Bonus points for Illuso making your hair.

Sorbet and Gelato are like your besties. You gossip about everything and if I say everything it means EVERYTHING. Sorbet paints your nails while you and Gelato laughing about some actor's haircut. They spoil you rotten. You're their baby, why shouldn't them? They'll buy you anything you point your finger at. Sometimes they can tease you, but you actually don't mind as they'll never say something offensive to you.

You can't be more grateful for your family. They all love you dearly and they will always see you as their child.

Woah, that was a lot. I hope you guys like it! I'm doing requests so go ahead✨(I can write on any jjba part or character)

▴ — @puxrlunae ;; Sheik & Amaron. [ TOGETHER ]:     when the receiver awakens, they discover that the sender has been sleeping next to them, arms wrapped around one another for warmth, comfort, protection ( or something more… )

   The overnights can be quite rough. Not the actual act of staying awake the entire night, he can do that perfectly fine he did it during Link’s entire journey. No, it was the act of trying to sleep when he finally went home. Amaron and Kasus were always so busy, having slept together all night long, and Sheik dragged himself upstairs to the empty, cold bed that was now twice the size it was before. Too big and too empty. He won’t ask them to sleep with him, not when they just got up, so he sighs and settles his mind for the idea of trying to sleep alone. 

   It so rarely works. 

   Sheik likes to sleep in Amaron or Kasus tunics because they are bigger, baggier and more comfortable. It also meant he didn’t have to have anything on underneath them, which was more or less an added bonus. He’s never been so comfortable sleeping naked, not when he was home alone, but having Amaron and now Kasus around–he finds a lot of his anxiety with sleeping was much more eased. So now, he usually just sleeps with a tunic, one of theirs, and nothing on underneath. 

   He still sleeps against the wall. He can’t not. He needs to see the door, needs to have a weapon within reach, needs to have a way to protect them. Once he’s asleep–they can move him around pretty much anywhere, but to get there he needs to see the door. Which is how he gets into the bed, wrapped in a green tunic and his back against the wall. Despite being exhausted it still takes him a while to actually fall asleep, to get to the point where he’s so exhausted that even his mind can’t keep him awake. And then sleep finally claims him.

   Honestly, he couldn’t have been asleep for more than an hour before Sheik suddenly felt a spark of pleasure racing along his spine. It’s weird, he hasn’t had a sex dream since he was a teenager. Yet,  despite that thought, he can’t deny the feeling that rushes through his body all the way to his cock or the way that it twitches beneath the tunic he was wearing. It feels like there’s hands along him, dragging up against his chest, raking nails along his nipples that have them hardening and his body arching into the touch. 

   He can feel lips that dance across the back of his skin, his neck and shoulders, the hot sensation of a tongue that drags across the exposed skin after. He feels himself shiver, feels the moan that falls from his lips and then the bulge that presses against him from behind. At this point his breathing is ragged and heavy, his chest heaving as his erection leaks precum beneath the tunic he had on. 

   His mind is awake now and Sheik blinks his gaze open slowly, staring at the wall which means he had been flipped over. He doesn’t panic, not when he can tell who exactly was pressing into him from behind. Sheik turns his head slightly to look over his shoulder at his husband. 

   “When you said you would try and join me in bed sometimes, dear heart, this is not what I had in mind.” He wasn’t complaining either. “But if you’re going to start something you better finish it.”

 🏳️‍⚧️, 🏳️‍🌈, 😶, 🎶,👗 about kirino, kousaka yukie, taiga kishibe or hikaru? Feel free to choose between them

why decide on one if i can just do it all? (i did them all) for the ask game…

1. kirino ranmaru (again)

🏳️‍🌈 - a sexuality headcanon… i'm rly torn between bisexual kirino and lesbian kirino. Like!! I can't choose!!!! but also i think she's aroflux 🏳️‍⚧️ - a gender headcanon… genderfluid transfem ^^^ ( bonus: he uses she/he pronouns! ) 🎶 - a headcanon about music… canonically has such a nice singing voice so i like to think he memorizes a few songs he likes when he's bored. he also loves having karaoke nights with his friends! i think kirino would listen to a few western artists in order to better his english skills—i'm thinking an artist like paramore! (i just like the thought of her singing ain't it fun or hard times) also she Definitely listens to teniwoha. i mean. Transgender Anthem? Right There! 👗 - a headcanon about their clothes… her wardrobe would mostly be filled with pants and dresses that were gifted to her by her relatives (we love a supportive family!), and sometimes she even wear skirts more than she wears pants !!!!! but at first, he felt insecure about wearing dresses and skirts, even after he came out to his teammates. thanks to a bit of encouragement from said teammates (albeit done… strangely?), she eventually got more comfortable with wearing skirts in public!! 😶 - a random headcanon… the egg cracked when akane asked him if he wanted his nails painted. he was a bit conflicted at first, but eventually accepted her request. the result was amazing, and she's been asking akane to do her nails since then! (also want to mention this one so bad) he's good at drawing, and decided he'd draw a few people from his team out of boredom. ended up drawing almost half his team and his closer friends from outside raimon (ahem ahem taiyou kishibe kurosaki hinano. all of which are headcanons but i don't care)

2. kousaka yukie

🏳️‍🌈 - a sexuality headcanon… i think kousaka's a lesbian! 🏳️‍⚧️ - a gender headcanon… i never thought about that. but also i don't think they're cis. maybe nonbinary just cuz the colors kind of match the genei jersey LOL ( bonus: they use they/she prns! ) 🎶 - a headcanon about music… my girl stans liana flores and dodie (+ reol and oster project). i won't explain anything else 👗 - a headcanon about their clothes… her casual style would definitely be something like this because i said so! 😶 - a random headcanon… they're in two clubs—the track club and the photography club (i like to think genei's photography club doesn't exactly always host long meetings since they're only active during special events, and their track club practices almost daily, and their free days are holidays, sundays, and exam terms)! this would also contribute to my headcanon that she's a fast runner (which i stole from this fic), to the point she's been asked multiple times if she wanted to join the soccer club. she declined the invitation the first few times, but she joined the club as one of the team's managers after one of them left, and eventually grew attached enough to start playing for the team!!! wowww!!!!!!

3. kishibe taiga

🏳️‍🌈 - a sexuality headcanon… i think he's either gay or bisexual. also aroace 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🏳️‍⚧️ - a gender headcanon… genderfluid transneu 🧑‍🚒🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ( bonus: she uses she/he/they pronouns! ) 🎶 - a headcanon about music… trust me when i say she'd have a beautiful singing voice. Please just imagine it also, i like to think he'd do the same thing kirino does—maybe as a friendship bonding thing—though his personal favorite western artist is leo! aside from that, i think he'd enjoy listening to leo/need (projecting) and tuyu (more projecting) 👗 - a headcanon about their clothes… i usually imagine them wearing baggy or loose clothes, and that they prioritize comfort over style (they still look after their style, though) and while it doesn't happen often, a few people have seen kishibe wearing skirts before, and they were initially shocked, but who's to say she doesn't rock in them? 😶 - a random headcanon… kishibe has really nice handwriting! many people love complimenting it, which causes him to be embarrassed but grateful, because he likes his own handwriting too!!! kishibe also owns a journal to write about most of their daily experiences and vent out their bottled up feelings. one time, he thought about using the same journal to write down strategies and training methods for his team, but figured it would be too cluttered, so he went to the nearest store to find a notebook. he isn't picky about most things, so he took the first notebook that he saw, and then subconsciously took another one that caught his eye. he realized this and hesitated a bit, but ended up buying both anyway. now she owned two new notebooks—one for strategies, and, well… she had no idea what to do with the other one. she figured she would just keep it empty in case she needed a new notebook, and then she found this rusty old notebook that was lying around in her closet. it was filled with what she'd call "really badly written original stories that have little to no plot." and then she got an idea. what if i revised these stories on that notebook? so now she's the writer friend of kidokawa seishuu (as if she wasn't in the first place)!

4. kageyama hikaru

🏳️‍🌈 - a sexuality headcanon… i raise to you: aroace hikaru. 🏳️‍⚧️ - a gender headcanon… agender(fluid)! triple a battery! ( bonus: she uses any prns! ) 🎶 - a headcanon about music… he's the biggest more more jump and ichinose lupo fan out there! real not clickbait! also, i'm pretty sure he would play the guitar if he didn't join raimon (which is canon already, unless i'm wrong about the instrument he'd play), right? i want to disregard that. in their free time, they pick up their guitar or their ukelele or something and starts strumming it to a few familiar tunes they learned a week ago or two. someone (who i like to think is kariya) ends up walking into them dropping an epic riff in the middle of a song, and then said person just stands there to listen to them playing the guitar until the song ends. post-performance: hikaru realizes she's attracted quite the big audience (raimon), and becomes embarrassed when she hears the clapping and loud cheering. but she's grateful. because she has amazing friends. 👗 - a headcanon about their clothes… he likes layering his clothing! not too much, though, or it's gonna get way too hot for him. he would defo wear something like this! 😶 - a random headcanon… they definitely have this large collection of penguin merch, especially plushies!! they get most of them from kidou and sakuma :3

okay, that's it. i had a lot of fun writing this, so send me more for the ask game, if you want!

✨ Bean's Top Five Song Discoveries of 2023 ✨

yes i realize it is already well into january 2024 but here, enjoy the songs i found this year that define my 2023. if you're new here, hi i used to make obsessive music posts but now dont have time to make full ones so take this instead: your very own unique insight to my 2023!

this post is dedicated to @disco-tea for somehow being invested in all my music adventures and obsessions, bestie ily 🥺💕

STOP (Lollapalooza Version) by j-hope (Eng. translation // Performance w/ Eng. sub)

im totally cheating already by choosing this when i first listened to jitb in 2022. but honestly? i dont care. i saw hobipalooza for the first time in 2023 and this version was only officially released then so here it is now!

to be frank, watching the performance was a completely different experience to me compared to listening to the studio release. while the original recording sounded conversational, it felt like something was exploding out of him during this performance. he needed to get things off his chest and yet still barely stops himself in his tracks from spiralling. and the juxtaposition !! placing it right after Equal Sign, where he is preaching kindness and understanding and unity and even goes so far to say "it costs you nothing to be kind" ?? and then the sudden immediate whiplash into STOP where he is actively holding himself back because its not true! being kind is hard!!! but he wants to be understanding and practice what he preaches but even he fails and gets "contaminated by the viruses" sometimes. its hard, its real, its raw. and ugh !! this song !!!

Bonus: the moment I always start to lose my mind

its the way the alternate title to this song is "there are no bad people in the world," a belief he holds deep to his core. and yet only a few breaths later, he confesses that the reality of the world makes him question if people are even human anymore. 😩 like wtf-

but also. its so true. and relatable. sometimes i cant even look at the news anymore bc its so hard to be a hopeful and positive and good person when you are bombarded with only hate and tragedy. i have never seen that feeling captured so perfectly in a song. jung hoseok you king.

tldr i think about this song, its performance juxtaposition, and what it means way too often. eternally sad that the youtube video with eng subs playing those songs back to back got taken down, i rewatched it so much it haunts me. may we never ever forget hobipalooza bc jung hoseok made Choices !!

Don't Wanna Cry by Seventeen (Eng. translation // Performance w/ Eng. sub in captions)

the real ones remember how j-hope took over my life that second half of 2022 and how much i fought tooth and nail the entire way... so yeah lol seventeen took over the second half of 2023 and this is the song that got me out of that denial.

the thing is. i had kept hearing about this song and this choreography and how iconic it was, which is why i avoided it for so long. but as we all know, no matter how much i joke, i am and always will be a dancer. dancing will always be in my blood. so it is very on brand that a good dancer has been what gets me into kpop groups 100% of the time (2 out of 2 groups stanned bc i fell for the main dancer 🫣). and as a choreographer, good choreo will always have an unreasonable chokehold on me. and yet, Don't Wanna Cry has the audacity to exist ?? featuring performance unit leader hoshi with his most masterful choreography for this heartbreaking song ?? come onnn, i had no chance.

i cant say anything about this choreo that hasnt been said before but like seriously, watch this practice video and tell me this choreo isnt one of the most in-sync yet emotionally effective pieces of art you've ever seen. You don't even need the translations to understand the emotions behind it. But when I first saw the lyrics with the choreography, I swear I got chills. Ironically, once DK sang out this line:

my eyes got blurry. because thats the whole point of the song isn't it? thats the whole reason why they dont want to cry. because they realize their time together is limited, their heart is breaking but each second in their presence is so beautiful and precious, how dare tears get in the way of fully appreciating this time together. its beautiful and heartbreaking and then the timing of falling to their knees right after for a chorus just adds into the hopelessness.

And I know everyone talks about the bridge but like- the bridge.

Lying to yourself that everything is OK only to fall on your knees again begging "come back, come back, come back". The rawness in this choreo. The almost uncontrollable chest pops in this vulnerable, open position because these words are coming from their heart.

Also Hoshi still to this day calls this one of his favorite svt choreos. He doesn't brag much about his choreo nowadays but the interviews I could find of him proudly relaying the story behind the iconic "streetlight" choreo just 🥺🥺 me too buddy. choreo can be beautiful sometimes and he did so good with this one. 🥺🥺🥺 choreographer hoshi, king of my heart, thank you for making me fall in love with this song 🥺🙌

I'm Just Another Person Oh God by Daisy the Great (lyrics)

Ah, yes. the Daisy the Great phase. I could have picked the whole All You Need is Time album honestly bc the storyline it has in my head is so fucked up I can't handle it. But in the end, it was a toss up between including this one or Aluminum in this list bc those were the ones I had on loop. for. reasons. 🫣

Gosh, what to say about this song. other than admitting, wow was I going through something for this one. Haven't we all felt this way sometimes though? Wanting something so bad and it not working out and then stepping back like. "wait am i being greedy and selfish with this?" and the answer is no! like actually im just being entirely super normal with this. just like everyone else! only i am also filled with some bonus woe! like ?!??!?! wasnt that the biggest 2023 mood? idk it was for me lmao.

There is something to be said with this album though, that is particularly apparent in this song. It's that kind of cynical wistfulness of wanting something you had in the past. Passion? Naivete? Whatever it is. It's gone now bc of life, the passage of time, and you're being like so super brave and normal about it (clenched fist, arthur meme style). Everything is painted with a bit of regret and "why am i always like this", all wrapped up in a funky floaty song that is almost uncomfortably easy to listen and vibe to bc of how concerning those lyrics can be when you really listen. but hey ✌️ it really do be like that sometimes i guess. shoutout to them for the insane 20yearold something vibes bc daisy the great? they get it ahaha.

Snow on Tha Bluff by J. Cole (lyrics)

Lol surprise.

if you ever want to know how i find music, a lot of my favorite songs are usually found by chance. a random deep dive fueled by curiosity or hyperfixation and every so often, my spotify will give me a gem. this particular discovery was bc for a variety of reasons, i decided to listen to a playlist of j.cole's music and was bopping along appropriately until this one came up and. i had to replay it multiple times.

its very understated. and raw. stream-of-consciousness.

i dont even know but i listened to this one a lot. even as i write this now, its been months since i listened to it but when i was making this list, i knew i had to include this one bc of how much ive thought about it.

there's something about understated vulnerability that always gets me in. nothing about this is showy nor does it really seem to have a point other than him needing to get this off his chest. yet there's such a poignant art to it. the instance he speaks about is v specific but the sentiment is still relatable and somehow resonated with me a lot.

idk i just think this song is so beautiful in its simplicity, which is something i think i should try to emulate more considering i said a whole lot of nothing in this section so i think ill stop this one here.

I Don't Understand But I Luv U by Seventeen (Eng. Lyrics)

if i had to pick a song that defined my december, it would be this one. hands down, no contest. i think i listened to this nonstop the last two weeks of the year. and:

... yeah.

im realizing as i write this post that i spent a lot of this past year just thinking about music and life. seventeen's songs actually tend to be a bit of a slow burn on me so i had known and even heard this song a few times earlier this year but really it only hit me last month. yet despite listening to it nonstop, i cannot recite to you the actual english translation of the song. bc ultimately the translation doesnt matter. what i love about this song is already there in the title.

"I don't understand but I love you"

after all, isnt that love in its truest essense? love is accepting you may never truly understand everything about a person but choosing to love them anyway. love transcends all language and all understanding. its a choice and an action and this is the song that always reminds me of that when love gets hard.

idk what this all says about my 2023 but love is hard. family is hard. but in a way, i think that's what makes it all so beautiful. just as beautiful as this song. i can and will (and have!) listened to this song on repeat bc the ✨vibes✨ i think it might even have been the first song i listened to in 2024. that guitar riff is so sick and sensual. the ad libs are so cute - the little zoom! at 0:46 and smoke smoke! at 2:02, i sing along to it every time 🫣.

also hearing the girlies lose their minds when watching this performance on the big screen during their simulcast concert was so funny but endearing. i'd never but those girls sure love thirst traps skakakka

the story behind this song too just 🥺 hoshi getting absolutely blown by a fan's comment "i dont understand but i love you," repeating it, saying they could use it as part of their lyrics and then a few months later, this song comes out. you can literally see his eyes light up im just 🥺 so endeared. and the way its a Performance Unit song, a unit that is made of 50% foreign members, and that several pre-debut clips show members struggling with language barriers. idk this song is all so soft, it means so much to me and clearly means so much to them. and there we go, its all in the title for me ✨

-

✨ if you made it all the way here, wow and thanks! here's to even more good music in 2024 ✨

[blubushie]

TF2 questions for ya:

Favorite ships if any?

How well do you think you'd get along with the various mercs? Not how much you like em as characters cause I know I very much enjoy Soldier as a character but I could not last 5 minutes in a room with him before we started arguing and it would probably end poorly for me.

I love canon so SoldierZhanna is my only "real" OTP but I basically consider HeavyMedic canon at this point and I enjoy that ship and their chemistry a lot. I also very much enjoy ScoutPauling because Scout's so cringefail but I also want him to be happy and get the girl of his dreams because I'm a sucker for romance and happy endings, and I think he'd be great for helping her relax and have some freedom aside of work. I also enjoy SniperScout because "never shuts up" and "never talks (much)" is a fun dynamic to me.

Favourite crackship is AdminSniper because they're married IRL and I don't think shagging your boss is very professional so it's funny to me. Be professional (except when you're shagging your boss).

How well do you think you'd get on with the mercs?

I kinda covered this here? I'm going to copy-paste some of that but also add more because reasons.

Scout: His incessant yabbering would probably get on my nerves at points but it'd also mean I'd always have someone to talk to. We could discuss baseball and shit. His idiocy is endearing to me and I would constantly take the piss out of him in subtle little ways that he probably wouldn't even notice. Probably easily impressed too. I could skip a rock and he'd sing my praises and I appreciate a little ego stroking (and I'd laugh my arse off when he goes "Pssh, I can do that to" and the rock immediately sinks). Honestly I'm just a sucker for rays of sunshine. I enjoy peoplewatching so I'd love to take him camping and sit down in a folding chair with a beer and watching him try to figure out how to pitch the tent (and then be surprised when he finds out I don't usually even use a tent).

Soldier: Reminds me of my dad. I'd like to get in his head and talk about the military and shit (not that he ever actually was in it, but still). Would take him off-roading but end up dumping him like an unwanted dog when he breaks my Hula Girl.

Pyro: Scares me. Would still do a tea party with him and let him dress me up in a skirt or paint my nails even but only if he promises not to chop my hand off or start a bushfire. Would kill to be a badass and light a dart off his flamethrower. Also would just enjoy reading to him as long as he doesn't tell me to slow down.

Demoman: So many stories. Would love to share a bottle of single malt Scotch with him. I need him to rate my mixology skills (of which there are none. I can make a screwdriver and that's it, but I try). Would love to discuss chemistry with him and have him show me how to make [redacted by the ATF]. I don't know much about Scotland so I've love to discuss legends and cryptids native to our homelands. I can cover two countries!

Heavy: Would like to discuss Russian literature with him. Gives me "alcohol and heavy machinery weapons don't mix" vibes so I probably wouldn't be able to drink with him, but I'd love to discuss books and philosophy and hang shit on communists and go shooting with him. Bonus points if he lets me shoot literally any of his miniguns.

Engineer: He makes me wish I was taller so I could tease him about it. Bonus points if we're just the same height because that's even funnier. "I'm short but I've been told I'm Spiritually Tall, therefore I'm taller than you." Also if he wouldn't mind a little extra work I'd let him have a butcher's at Matilda to find out why her engine makes that ticking noise sometimes when I got over a hundred. I'm not very smart with machinery (my greatest achievement is making a battery out of a lemon) but I'd love to hear him explain it to me even though I wouldn't understand a goddamn bit of it.

Medic: Bloody hell you have no idea how much I wish I was mates with him. Look at my blog and is it any wonder? Oh, to be his assistant for just one day. I've got steady hands! We can discuss bush medicine and natural toxins and all kinds of weird drugs and a million other things. Would let him scar me. I want him to literally rearrange my guts and chat with him all the while because I'd be awake and watching and asking dumb questions like "Is that my appendix?" despite knowing fully well that it's on the other side behind my liver and not my stomach just to hear him correct me. I want him to praise me on the condition of my heart and liver and then backhand me about the condition of my lungs despite me not inhaling. I should've listening to my parents and gone to medical school.

Sniper: ...Aheh. The bush is lonely and bushmen have a tendency to stick together (when we aren't at each other's throats threatening to kill each other territory). I want to make him brekkie with something I hunted (or fished) and we could talk firearms and snares and wildlife and Australia and stars and whatever else. I want to do shrooms and DMT with him. I want to hear the story of every scar he has, I want to exchange stories of our time in the bush and Outback, I want to ride horses with him and have him be my muster mate for just one ride. I want to hear about the world and all the places I've never been from the eyes of someone who gets it like I do. He is the only person I would ever allow to shoot my rifle.

Spy: French, incredibly obnoxious, but I'd still like to be mates with him. I'd love to hear his stories of espionage and women and jobs gone wrong and jobs gone right. I want to sit in his smoking room in a silk smoking robe and enjoy the finer side of life for a while. I want to smoke a $6000 Cuban cigar and taste its flavour on my tongue and chase it with a sip of Scotch that's so rich I'll dream about it for years to come and cost more money than I'll ever see in my lifetime. I want to indulge and discuss tobacco and fine liquor and antique revolvers. Only bloke I'd ever dress up for and I'd put up with him taking my measurements for a suit.

Glee Musical Retrospective: You Can't Always Get What You Want (Sectionals)

Sung by: New Directions Original Artist(s): The Rolling Stones

Oh where to begin with this...

Story Analysis

You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find You get what you need

There's a set up for this song earlier in the episode -- where Will is talking Finn into returning to New Directions, and tells him that he can't always get what he wants. Which inspires Finn to pick this song for their big sectionals number.

Thematically - the song works for the story, and works for the whole concept of Glee. In life - you can't always get what you want (hence the general popularity of the song). But sometimes you do get what you need out of your circumstances.

Finn doesn't get the girl - but at least he still gets to be a leader and have those who rely on him (and bonus not having to be a teenage dad).

The glee club doesn't get to rise to the top of the hs hierarchy but, they at least get a family in which they can safely be themselves.

Even Will doesn't get a working marriage - but at least he finds that love still exists.

The song is very on point for the message the show is trying to create. The world sucks - but at least you can find people who are like you enough to make it worthwhile. Glee has never been a subtle show - and this song hits the nail on the thematic head a bit hard.

And I went down to the demonstration To get my fair share of abuse (Singing, we're) Gonna vent our frustration (If we don't we're gonna blow) A 50-amp fuse

Understandably - they don't sing any of the verses that are more related to drugs and drug culture. By the do include the one about civil rights. While it's not a one-to-one comparison, it makes sense that the ND would sing about standing up for being different -- getting shoved down because of those differences and singing about how they want to be them anyway.

Technical Analysis

So, fun fact - apparently Dijon Talton, Harry Shum Jr., Heather Morris, and Naya Rivera helped with the choreography for this number - I wonder if the scripted line about Matt, Mike, Brittany and Santana doing the choreography was a nod to this.

That said - the dancing here is a bit rough and loose. It's intentional (and I'm just completely sidestepping away from the conversation that it's in anyway believable that the ND could pull this off hours before) but it does feel more like the kids bopping around the stage haphazardly than any cohesive dance number.

The cast sounds fine, even if it's a lot of the same arrangement of group numbers we've heard consistently throughout the Front 13. Finn and Rachel lead the group, with Mercedes coming in at the end with that big note. The back up vocals are blocky - and while yes, in the style of a show choir, feels (as usual) too big to be just twelve voices. It's a fine number - but maybe it's me personally - it's one rock number that I don't know if works in its translation to show choir number.

Just a couple of minor things -

The cast is hilariously over the top happy in this number. I can't tell if they're breaking or laying it on too thick.

I can't with the audience standing up as if it were a rock concert. I'm already beyond having to suspend my disbelief for this illogical plot, the audience just breaks my brain a little.

I should mention the ending bit - the hands raised as a call back to DSB.

vs. The Studio Recording : It's becoming apparent to me just how much other sound mixing they do for the episode performances - such as adding audience cheering, atmospheric sounds, etc. Also - there's about another minute of added song. But instead of including the other verses - there's a strange turn in the song that feels very Glee-ish, and less Rolling Stones. It was kind of unexpected since most of these songs have been diligent copies of the original. I wonder if there was a note that the original lyrics were a little too risque but they wanted a longer version of the song?

vs. The Original Version : There are a lot of different 'original' versions of this song - including the one on the album that features a choir - which Glee does mimic in its own performance. I linked one that has a really young Mick Jagger in it, though, cause I thought it was kind of fascinating. Of course - the other thing that picking one of these classic rock songs is a nod to Don't Stop Believin' - the song that set the tone for the series. Glee, of course, does a very much watered down version of it, and unlike how Glee's DSB feels inspired and magical, I think this one feels a little more Kidz Bop-ish.

Anyway - I did a whole deep dive into the original inspiration for the song, and what the verses mean (the chorus is, perhaps, pretty self explanatory). I couldn't find one single account - even Mick Jagger has conflicting thoughts on it. But a lot of it revolves around dealing with culture at the times -- and a lot of it drug culture. As I said above, it doesn't surprise me that almost all of these references are cut from the Glee version - which I have to wonder if it was a note from the network, or a choice that Glee itself made.
