Size doesn’t intimidate either of them~❤️

'Working spells, my ass.' What the Calling boy had done didn't have a word to describe it, something like this should be beyond mere magenwork, but the mage would have known if it was magic. In Idris's hands, the mage's shield had tangled with the dragon's flames, somehow, he had carved channels into Cay's own spell, and they were eating up the fragments of wasted magic being burned by the dragon. The dragon's fire had been turned into a source of fuel to strengthen the shield. 'He doesn't look it but....' Cay thought, as he felt his own spell bowing to the work of another, 'He's dangerous.' Then, looking at the gleeful smile on his face, Cay realized, ‘He doesn’t even know it.’

Shaking the rust off with writing fluffy headcanons. This is a very self-indulgent piece for me as I’m a rather touchy person who will hug and cling onto my close friends. -Shopkeep

Heartslabyul With A Super Affectionate MC

“Prefect, I was just looking for you.” “Oh, hey! What do ya need, sweetheart?”

Never had Riddle gone bug-eyed and slack-jawed so fast. His cheeks immediately go red, rivaling the freshly painted roses the freshmen had just finished. He tries to find his words, failing for a good five seconds before he barks out, “Wha-what did you just call me…!?”

“Sweetheart?” “Yes, that!” You tilt your head. “I call everyone pet names, do you not like it?” “O-of course I don’t like it! I’m not some little child to coo over!”

You feel a little disheartened, but you understand where Riddle is coming from. You agree to stop calling him pet names, but the Dorm Leader feels a bit guilty seeing you look a little bummed.

Riddle wouldn’t lie to himself that he felt annoying knots form in the pit of his stomach when you’re openly affectionate with others, but immediately get a bit formal when he steps into the room.

It gets to the point where when the two of you are alone, he sighs, and admits, “I apologize for the way I yelled at you that one time… I actually don’t mind it when you, ahem, call me pet names… Only in private though!”

Physical affection is something Riddle has to work the nerve for. When you asked to merely lean against his shoulder in private, he said yes, but it was so uncomfortable by how stiff the poor guy was.

But in due time, he’ll ease into it, truly enjoying the contact. Especially when you two hug. You can feel him nuzzle against you when you embrace and you do the same, burying yourself in his clothes as you cling to one another.

“Could you pass me that jar of sugar, Prefect?” “Oh yeah, honey, I gotchu.”

Trey would perk up at the little name and a small smirk curls on his lips. He’d playfully reply back, “Thank you, sweetie~” just to see your reaction. Be it flustered or pleasantly surprised, it would amuse him greatly.

Seeing the positive reaction to the pet names, you would edge into more bold moves where you gently bump your forehead against his shoulder or ask to lay your head in his lap.

Naturally, he would still poke a little fun at you, saying you remind him of his baby siblings. But he doesn’t stop you though! He even goes as far as to pat your head as you lean against him. You’d either lay your hand on top of his, grasping it gently or taking it to admire it.

Definitely one of the big candidates to cling onto his arm if you feel like you need security walking anywhere or need physical contact.

“Heya, Prefect~!” “Hiya, Cay-bb!!!”

Takes to your affections like a duck to water. Is more than happy to envelope you in his arms, swing you around if he could, and is all smiles.

Doesn’t bat an eye if you wordlessly lean against his shoulder and clutch on his shirt or you press your face against his stomach as you lay in his lap. He either has an arm around your shoulders or lays a hand on your side, thumb idly tapping a beat stuck in his head while he scrolls through his phone.

Sometimes he lets you stare at his scrolling if you’re cuddling up against him. You both chuckle at any funny posts or you make some side comments of any of his posts.

You get to see a glimpse of his more observant side. Like: “I really like the lighting in this one.” “You think so? I felt like I could have gone for something more eye-catching.” “Nah dude, it looks pretty as hell.”

Another candidate to cling onto his arm if you need security. Will even allow you to interlock fingers as you hold hands.

“Oi, Prefect, come sit with us over here!” “Ahh, thank you so much. You’re an absolute doll~”

Nearly chokes without fail every time that you grace him with a pet name. He sheepishly tries to brush it off like it’s nothing, but his blush and flustered expression say otherwise.

Another boy that turns into a plank of wood at sudden physical affection. He doesn’t stop it though as he will awkwardly return the affection. Please be patient with him as he adjusts.

The affection is more natural though during times where he feels a little downhearted. Be it after flunking a test or he’s just feeling generally homesick. He’ll rest his chin on your shoulder and slump against you. He just wants to be held and feel a comforting hand rub at the back of his head.

“It’s gonna be okay, Deuce… You’re gonna be fine babe…” He buries his face in your shoulder and can only give a little, “Mmm…” in response.

“Yo, Prefect, wanna swing by Sam’s to get some snacks? Heard a deal is happening today.” “Would absolutely love to do that with ya, babe.”

Immediately clocks the pet name and his signature smirk dances across his features. Will tease instantly, asking if you have feelings for him or not. How you respond is all up to you.

Either way, it won’t stop the fact that you two are like glue to each other. You’re very much the obnoxious two that are constantly having some sort of physical contact with one another, unless someone physically gets in between you two.

You are each other’s respite during busy days. You take turns hiding your faces against each other, tuning out the world, and only focusing on each other’s warmth and scent. Ace particularly likes to keep his hand on your back almost in a protective manner if anyone tries to come over and bother you two.

Nap and cuddle homies. It’s so easy for the both of you to immediately relax and fall asleep in each other’s arms. Ace likes to curl up into a ball sometimes with you just so close to him, smothered right up against his chest.

[sauriansolutions]

Based on a conversation I was having with @askbloatedbellyblog re: Cater belly kink!

For background, we'd been discussing how Cater canonically dislikes sweets, and I introduced my headcanon that he secretly gorges on savory snacks when in private.

Self indulgent silliness below the rm~

Extremely "😳" thought: 

Imagine... 

Cater has just wolfed down a huge order of loaded nachos, and is basking in the afterglow of his clandestine feast, when Riddle calls an impromptu meeting. 

Cater scrambles to clean all the tortilla crumbs and queso off his uniform and his face. Then he realizes... he's eaten so much, he can barely get his pants buckled. 

Struggling frantically, Cater stuffs himself into his clothes anyway, praying to the Great Seven that his Housewarden won't notice anything's off. 

He arrives, and... ugh, it's as he dreaded. 

Cater tries--he really tries!--to stand stiffly, still, at attention like all the others. Meanwhile, Riddle goes on and on about homework completion rates or whatever.

But. Cater's clothes are too tight. Especially his waistband. He starts shifting from foot to foot, completely stuffed full of nachos, and starting to really regret it. He feels so bloated, greasy, uncomfortable. 

Just when Cater feels like he can't stand it anymore, somebody accidentally bumps into him and he lets out this ridiculously loud mega-burp, right when Riddle's back is turned. 

Riddle whips around, face scarlet in affront. "Who did that?!" he demands to know.

Silence. 

Riddle sniffs the air, then begins to positively grind his teeth in anger. 

"And why, pray tell, does it suddenly smell like jalapenos and chili peppers in here?!"

Cater breaks out in cold sweat. On one hand... that belch just alleviated so much pressure. Yes. He really needed that! Miraculously, his pants feel like they fit now! 

On the other hand, Riddle is going to find him out, and then probably remove his head from hia body, and not even in the metaphorical sense! 

Riddle marches up and down the aisle while all stand in line at attention, drill-sergeant style, giving each "soldier" a suspicious look, and a once-over with narrowed eyes. 

Cater is about to have a panic attack right there and then, when.

Unexpectedly, Trey steps forward with a hand raised and an embarrassed smirk. 

"Sorry Riddle, that was me."

"Trey??" Riddle and several others--Cater included--gasp.

"Ahh, yeah," Trey laughs and sheepishly rubs his stomach. "See, I've been experimenting with some sweet-and-spicy recipes lately. And, uhh, the results have been a little, volatile."

Riddle draws himself up, glares at his vice prefect, then snaps, 

"Well, alright... I suppose I can excuse your indiscretion just this once! But, no more of this 'experimenting' within the Heartslabyul walls without my explicit say-so, understand?"

"Of course, Housewarden," Trey replies with a slight bow, as a few others chuckle in relief now that the tension is dispersed.

After the meeting is over, Cater runs to Trey, feeling near-collapse with gratitude. 

"Trey-Trey, omg, you're the man!" Cater grips his friend by the shoulders and shakes him, a little insistent. "Why'd you cover for me like that, though?"

Trey just gives his classic cockeyed smirk, and starts laughing quietly. 

"Cay-kun, did you realize you have queso on your chin?"

To Cater's mortification, Trey uses his handkerchief to wipe his face. 

"Hey, it's ok," Trey assures his friend in an undertone. "You're allowed to like whatever kind of food you like. Please don't feel like you need to subsist on cherry pies and sweet tea, just because you're in Heartslabyul."

"Ughh, duuude," Cater laughs, trying to play off the genuine gratitude he feels but doesn't quite know what to do with. "I know you're right, but... Housewarden Rosehearts is kind of a handful, isn't he? How do you deal with him so easily?"

At this, Trey's smug grin becomes "knowing," and, wry, he shakes his head. 

"Let's just say... I've known Riddle for quite a long time now. And in that time, I've learned the best ways to keep him appeased."

"Like how?" Cater asks. 

"Well, for example..." Trey leans in, like he's divulging a deep secret. "After today, I'm going to have to make sure I have plenty of chili-cornbread and jalapeno-honey muffins for him to sample."

"In fact, if you happen to have the time, would you care to drop by the Heartslabyul kitchen and perhaps help me bake some?"

Self indulgent CAI RP inspired shitty art

[frankenbuggee]

I'm sorry I'm like this but: does DnDevious still have a son? Or is he free of offspring? If he still has a son, is he ever mentioned by him or other party members? ...is son present? (Tysm!)

Never apologise for being like this! I love it.

Ah you mean Artemy? Hmm I hadn’t thought much about it in the cai chats he’s not mentioned oops but I’d say Artemy is still around but just isn’t following Devious around. More independent in DnD as he would be a full devil like Devious. Devious is a rather proud Dad so I’m sure he’s mentioned Artemy without much prompting for sure xD

I had also been playing with the concept of Devious and the elf woman (Alexandra) having a child but that’s more self indulgent entertainment I think 💀

How do each of your OCs react to/feel about themselves gaining weight? Who tries to deny it and who loves it?

Hohooo, here’s a fun ask~

I could go into more depth here but since this is an all-OCs ask I’ll try to keep things short-

Junwei: Delighted. Growing larger has made Junwei more comfortable in her body that she’s ever been. They feel great, they look great, what’s not to love?

Addison: When they notice, Addison would probably give a very nonplused “Oh…huh.” and then file that away in the back of their mind to figure out their feelings on later (they like it hehehe).

City: As a naturally very inquisitive person, City would likely take this as an opportunity for some self exploration with a heaping helping of indulgence.

Cai: Already covered in this post. Xe would deny it, but only to get attention.

Beltran: Does not own a scale, which is his excuse for why it takes him so damn long to notice that he’s putting on weight. Beltran looks in the mirror and thinks ‘pretty sure I was always this fat’.

Farisha: On her own, Farisha might be a little slow to realise that she’s put on weight. However with Edith as her partner, the teasing (which Farisha loves) is pretty instantaneous.

Edith: Not overly bothered about her own size, but again, Farisha is her partner, and using her weight to Farisha flustered never gets old.

Emile: For Emile, this is a disaster that could ruin his public image! It takes awhile for him to actually consider how he feels about gaining weight, but when he does, he realises he likes it quite a bit.

Hello!

TBH I considered posting this fic here but I truly can’t be bothered to figure out how to put all the links and everything so I’ll just post the whole fic once it’s finished on AO3. In the meantime, I have literally So Much to say about this fic because it’s been rotting my brain for weeks now, and there’s only so much I can fit in the author’s notes, so here we are!

DON’T READ PAST HERE IF YOU DON’T WANT SPOILERS

Second interlude:

This chapter is sooo self indulgent. Like with Cai Yiben's interlude, I wanted to give one to Wei Ying too, but for purely selfish reasons. Wei Wuxian is one of my favorite characters of all time ever, and it was hard writing him as a secondary character this time around so I needed to give him his own pov, no matter how short.

I wanted to make Wei Ying's relationship with Jiang Yanli reminiscent of canon but definitely different. That part where she tries to play "Xianxian is three" but Wei Ying deflects is supposed to be bittersweet; on one hand, it is sad that she's losing that part of him that she always held dear, but on the other he no longer needs that from her, which is good. Wei Ying in this time had the space and safety to be a child, to know he was safe and had caregivers he could rely on. Of course, that is going to change him.

And with Jiang Yanli now his definitive mother, not just a martial-sister-mother-substitute like she was in canon. She was shijie for a reason, and that's because she filled too many roles in his life to be summed up in one word, thus shijie adopted a very specific meaning for the two of them. In this world, she is his mother--that's it. They don't have to navigate the discrepancies of class or social expectations or gender roles. Their relationship thus becomes easier yet harder, simple yet complicated. But more importantly, it becomes socially acceptable for them to act and be close.

I'm weak for Wei Ying being loved, sue me. At the end, when Wei Ying is so sure and confident he's loved... that killed me when I wrote it. I just stared at the computer screen for a moment and willed myself not to cry lmaoooo

[pkmnomegaverse]

Can’t recall if I’ve ever said this here (I maybe have, I feel like I’ve at least implied it???) but my bs explanation for Cay as a concept that totally fits into the world of Pokemon, what are you talking about guys, is that he’s kind of loosely a form of Deoxys. Or rather a similar entity to whatever Deoxys is.

My reasoning was essentially if there can be a Pokemon that’s a mutated space virus that came in on a meteorite and (presumably) adapted it’s form to be like a Pokemon because that’s the type of world it landed on, could that concept not be used in other ways. I interpreted it as whatever Deoxys is, it’s a type of creature that adapts to be similar to the dominant species of a planet (it is a weird combo of a Pokemon with a “human-shaped” body). Sort of an assimilate/disguise strategy.

But whatever Cay is was still in a kind of dormant state when it was inserted into Valen, so when it “awakened,” it more assimilated with its host vs becoming its own entity with a physical form or even just fully taking over its host (but that’s why it can presumably fully take over Valen if it really wanted to). This whole scenario could have easily gone horribly for Valen and even the Cipher scientists were kind of just winging it. Could have become some kind of body horror monster movie on the operating table. But perhaps the Cipher scientists had done enough tests at this point they assumed this wasn’t likely going to be the outcome and had safeguards in place. Body mods (in my headcanon at least) are a big thing Cipher dabbles in, even very extreme kinds of modifications. It’s why so many of the major Cipher villains in the games are off looking and appear to have odd abilities.

Like always I’m just running on vibes and going the self indulgent route vs “does this actually make sense from a lore/worldbuilding standpoint,” but yes, Cay kinda sorta being a type of Deoxys is my explanation for why he totally fits into a Pokemon setting.

TURN   OFFS   :   talking over her, fatshaming her, mean comments, cheaters,

LOVE   LANGUAGE   :  acts of service (giving) , quality time (giving/receiving), gift giving (reveiving).

RELATIONSHIP   TENDENCIES   :   unreliable. she falls in and out love like breathing. she has had too many relationships to count. she loves love. she loves like a star burning out, passionately and all encompassing until like a flash shes onto her next crush. she is easily bored and needs a lot of excitement to maintain a relationship’s spark. commitment scares her as well - if she in a relationship and her partner expresses moving forward in a way that she doesnt feel ready for she’ll clam up and more often than not that feeling leads to her ending the relationship sooner rather than later.

𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬.
