drunk cuddly darling + sober yan

vs

sober darling + drunk yan

do yans have any preference on either scenario or is it just no bueno either way

im just gonna simplify this ask down a bit. m!yanderes + f!yanderes x cuddly drunk gn darling 🫶 (no poly/non humans for the sake of my sanity)

⛪️ ;; abe is not the type to drink, never has been and never will be, even if you pressure him to drink more, so while he doesn’t exactly approve of you getting drunk either, he just cant bring himself to be mad at you. not when you’re being so sweet to him! he’s happy that you’re content to just be held by him until you fall asleep rather than get into any trouble that he’s not prepared to deal with. be ready to wake up to a scolding by him though, you could get sick if you go overboard! even if he kind of likes it when you do.

[cw dubcon] 🖥️ ;; god bless any darling who gets drunk around gene because if he can tell you’re inebriated he’s either trying to fuck you or is equally as hammered (if not more). so when you get drunk and start getting all touchy with him he sees it as an invitation to take things further. you wanted the attention, you can’t get mad at how he chooses to give it! it isn’t his fault, you just make really cute faces when you’re wasted. he’ll give you a little apology gift for your sore insides when you’re up the next day — one most likely made up of painkillers and your favorite takeout.

🪶;; it irritates sterling to no end that you got drunk. don’t you know you have an image to uphold? he’s prattling on and on about how he’s sick of your disgraceful behavior and how unbecoming it is for you to waste your time fucking up your brain, until your arms are around him and you’re snuggling up against him. then his words are all caught in his throat and hes tripping through his sentences, half heartedly trying to reprimand you still, but he eventually settles down and (begrudgingly) holds you until you’re asleep. he’ll swear to himself its only this one time; if you remember the next day and try to tease him about it he literally wont talk to you for a week.

💪 ;; valentina had already planned to simply cuddle you till you went to sleep, so the fact that you initiated it makes her elated. she likes how it feels when you squirm in her arms, too out of it to be able to do anything but what she wants. it’s like she’s handling a living doll! she carries you around like one, too, going about her day with one hand and holding you you with the other. yes, it makes doing things way more difficult and yes, the arm she carried you with will be sore for days, but it’s well worth it to her.

[cw dubcon, again] 👑 ;; althea ordered you to go to bed the moment you stumbled into her presence in your inebriated state. when you instead clung to her and insisted on cozying up instead, while it annoyed her, she took it upon herself to make sure you got to bed and couldn’t get into any trouble. but you insisted on her staying with you! and the way you tangled her body up with yours and dragged your hands across her form in a move that couldn’t have been entirely innocent (to her, at least), allie couldn’t help but help herself to your body. you practically owed it to her, anyway; and the way you whimpered and sighed for her proved that you didn’t seem to mind too much anyway.

🥩 ;; rhodes doesn’t particularly care for drunks, they’re used to them being loud and obnoxious. so they’re not exactly happy when they find you after having a bit too much to drink. they’e expecting a tedious night of making sure you don’t hurt yourself or others, so it’s a pleasant surprise when you seek them out for comfort instead. they still would prefer you being sober so you’d be able to better appreciated them taking the day off to be with you, but they’re satisfied with the time you spend with them regardless.

Wait a second, is that Rosie or Lunova booping the snoot?

It's her (barely) little brother Lunova~ ^w^

ALSO trolley problem answers for spinder & anyone else who you think has a creative solution 👀

from this ask game

Spinder gets the point of this thought exercise but if they're going to ask such a contrived question, he's going to give a contrived answer. Which means he would learn a lot about trolleys and how easy it is to derail them (I am far from an expert but I think it would depend on the landscape. I suspect a trolley with a cable grip, like in San Francisco, is harder to derail if the cable grip is active, but idk). He's got a whole plan for derailing, or otherwise mechanically disrupting the trolley (if it stops pulling power does it stop moving? how fast can he get on the roof?). Aside from his absolute pettiness he also can't help but imagine the fallout from having vehicularly manslaughtered one or more people and he doesn't think he could deal with that.

Christina "now you're thinking with warpals" Larousse would just warp the trolley. Ideally this would happen after she already was not in the trolley, but if she has to die with it, so be it. In general, if sacrificing herself would save everyone else, she'd probably do it. But if there are other people in the trolley, as in some versions of the problem, because she's not going to sacrifice them to warp. Hypothetically she could just warp away the split in the track, thereby derailing the trolley and saving everyone. But that's a much smaller target than a trolley and harder to hit when she's moving. If she had to actually abide by the rules of the exercise she would kill the one person. Unless that one person was her father. Then she'd be so paralyzed about it that she'd do nothing and the five people would die. Which is still a lot less people than she indirectly enabled Althea to kill, but that's cold comfort.

Althea would let the five be killed without hesitation if there was a single person among them that had ever pissed her off. She doesn't really care either way, but it would feel better to get a little revenge. However, she would also switch away from a track Christina is tied to, an absolutely frigid comfort for Christina.

Vic, among others, has pointed out that if you do nothing, you're not responsible for what happens. Which is a tenuous position, but he would like it to be true. But he'd also rather kill one person than five, so make of that what you will.

Celia and Allison are still wondering what kind of Gotham-ass trolley line this is, like, first of all, how did these people get tied to the tracks? Is this some kind of a trick? Are the five people all robots and the one person a human? There's just not enough information here.

Dez would be extremely dismayed by the idea that the five people could be robots. But if they were, they have backups, right? Right? Syndy is already holding him back from steering away from the five probably-robots, because she considers herself an expert on how humans die, actually, so they can't run over the human. If the robots turn out to be humans, they are both scarred for life and also the first androids to go to jail, probably. They develop a weird game of chicken where they keep saying they're going to delete the memories but come up with reasons not to. Doing this only deals them more psychic damage.

"You just gotta kill the one person," Avis says, with total conviction and complete boredom. "That's how these puzzles work. You gotta do a shitty thing, so you have to do the least shitty version of the thing." It's a toss up if she'd automatically run over the five if she was considering whether or not to run over Sid as the one person, though.

Vil-Senpai, can I ask for your help? I heard you know your way in making clothes (I could be mistaken, my apologies if so) and I was wondering if you could help me with a new uniform skirt. The previous one is ruined because of the Overblot incidents ^^'

-Althea (oc) (she uses terms like 'senpai' 'sama' and 'sensei' regularly in her speech, it's not to be weird I promise :>)

Ah? Hm, I see... Yes, I could do that. Do you have a particular style or pattern you're interested in?

[oyasumillie]

I vaguely recall Althea had issues with the Power Primate. Can you elaborate on it iirc?

Props to you for remembering! I really appreciate it, people remembering my OCs ♡( ◡‿◡ )

And yeah! Althea masters the powers within her gem, which is a trait all gem monkeys have but she is the most skilled and powerful of them.

But as pupil of the Veron Mystics, she had to be able to learn and use the power primate like a master, but she struggled to. She studied and practiced and, while she could use it, she didn’t learn it like she should have as the leader of the gem team.

That caused her so much anxiety, and that only worsened the problem. She always felt like she was failing her team.

[spooksier]

is osgood a youngest sibling i just know she is

no 😔😔 he's got two younger siblings and three older ones....middle sibling sickness

[drmslastmorning]

Her parents telling her that "if Sam gets close to You scream, fight and ask for help and make the people around You aware where You are" she had the cSam danger talk

Basically. Csam is danger talk. Don't be alone with Sam. Don't let Sam touch you. Don't follow Sam. If he has a camera fucking break it. Always make sure to tell techno or dream.

[sleepy-stitches]

if althea could learn one spell that isn’t available to her at present, which spell would it be?

im gonna be real with you chief i dont remember what spells she has. oh wow she has revivify i didnt realise. its been so long.

this is really hard. because the truth is, i dont think she WANTS any more spells. shes not a magic girlie she's just uhm. well you know. actually give that girl feather fall i think she'd love feather fall

[claryxjackson]

random oc question: what song would althea sing for karaoke?

this immediately made me think about the episode where Brennan sings girls just wanna have fun

and really i do think that's something they'd do together at least once, cause they definitely did it as kids

but i think her solo karaoke song would be wannabe by the spice girls

[devourable]

Requests are not being accepted, but I'm crazy about the evil princess and she hardly gets asked, I love her. I would like to see more of Althea and her fiancé (I don't know if you're making him masculine, if not it can just be gn) who isn't really committed to this whole "getting married and living together forever" thing that interests other people

sinceramente - W.V. 💖

allie is super slept on so i appreciate this ask 🫶 for future reference i exclusively write gn nondescript readers unless im commissioned to write ones with specific traits so people of all identities can still enjoy :p

👑 ;; althea x reader with commitment issues

· thats funny, you really think you have a choice in the matter?

· althea’s always dreamed of having a big flashy wedding between the two of you. something extravagant to show the world just how much you loved each other. she’s not giving you the chance or the right to take that away from her.

· if you start expressing some hesitance to marry her when she starts putting serious thought into it, she straight up ignores you. you can tell her to her face that you don’t think it’s a good idea and she’ll ask you what color dress you think she should wear. she’ll be well aware of your lack of desire to get hitched and she won’t even slightly care.

· she loves you, and you know it. she’s done so, so much for you. why can’t you just do this for her? it’s not like anything will change, you’ll just have to be loyal to her and do as she says and kiss her and love her and treat her like she’s your world. what’s so difficult about that?

· if she even suspects you won’t show up, she’ll have guards watch you 24/7 in the days leading up to the big event. don’t even think about trying to turn her down at the altar, either, she’s more than happy to remind you who’s in charge in front of everyone. you’re not getting out of this, and that’s the end of it.

· althea doesn’t care about how you feel if it doesn’t align with her interests. she loves you (in her own twisted way) and she doesn’t care if you don’t feel the same. she’ll be everything to you, whether if you want her to be or not.

,,Headmage Crowley! I wish to request my pa- I mean my twin sister to enroll too due to some troublesome circumstances. She's very much fine with hiding her gender if that's a problem and she likes girls. It's a bit complicated but I can explain."

-Althea (oc. intro for both)

"Well usually we only accept those that have an enrollment letter... but I have been gracious enough in the past to make exception! I don't see why she would need to hide her gender, but if that what she would like to do, then I suppose she can? The staff and I will need to know what pronouns we should address her with due to this. I would like to hear more about these "troublesome circumstances" so I may make a more informed decision on whether I let her join our fine institution or not.

"I'd like to meet her too when we discuss this if possible! Let me know when would be the best time for us to meet. As for the liking girls part... I'm not sure what that has to do with anything? Night Raven College is a school, not a... what would you kids call it? An otome? It would be improper for staff to help set up any students on any dates."

[darknesslioness]

Hey, I just wanted to ask, do you have any voice claims for your nutcracker characters? I just wanted to know because I love them so much :3

I do, actually! I considered it a lot years ago and made a list of possible voice actors for every character I had planned at the time (with example performances where I thought I best heard my characters in pitch and intonation because we all know great voice actors can have a great range of voices). I won't list all my characters since I've never mentioned most of them outside of a Discord server, but I can mention the big four here.

Note: This is subject to change at any time, but this is what I have from the last time I binged voices. Enjoy. :)

Daemon Thuringia- Troy Baker (Tailon - Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Joel - The Last of Us, Greed - FMA:B, Booker Dewitt - Bioshock Infinite) & John Hopkins (Marius - Ryse: Son of Rome) (I could never decide which one I liked more, so if I could combine Troy and John's voice performances into one, that would probably be it)

Althea Voronina - Laura Bailey (Ioreth - Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Serena - Skyrim, Lucina - Fire Emblem: Awakening) (As you may have noticed, Althea has a voice performance alongside Daemon's in Middle Earth, so if you want to closest thing to an audible conversation between them, watch the opening of that game.)

Althea Voronina (elder) - Pam Hyatt (Frieda - Silverwing, Kaede - Inuyasha) (For Althea in her 80s. Wanted a wizened voice, but a strong one. Probably one of the most likely to change however.)

Draven Thuringia - Travis Willingham (Roy Mustang - FMA:B, Isaac Frost - Fight Night Champion, Spartan Paul DeMarco - Halo 4, Zavok - Sonic: Lost World, Reggie Rowe - Infamous: Second Son) (Yes, I find this very ironic and a bit weird since Laura Bailey is married to Travis, but is what it is. He's got the tone and depth I want here.)

Guinevere Cawthrone - AAAAAANNnnnddd I once had a possible voice for her, but I fell out with it after a while. Sometime after that, I decided that there would be a reason for that..... ;)
