Random captive TDL au lore dump and some behind the scenes stuff since you asked so nicely :]
Dark in captivity
victim did use dark as a way to train and get the mercs and him used to the box
victim and agent (i would probably explore their dynamic in this au also, mitsi would haunt this narrative because yes)
some behind the scenes things
additional art
#alan becker#animator vs animation#ava#ava tdl#ava victim#captive tdl au#long tag warning#dark is going to have some dog/caged animal symbolism and machine symbolism#TDL is very much a problem captive also very annoying one at that#you can blame the high security one him since his constant escapes helped rocket corp to tighten their security#victim is definitely insane and he will do some incredibly messed up stuff in this au#the machinery on agent is supposed to look like it is slowly consuming him like some kind of infestation#agent has some issues as well and will be an enabler for victim#victim and agent's relationship will get some attention in this au but the main plot will still revolve around chosen and dark#chosen and dark's relationship is a lot more complex so i won't bother to summarise it all since i don't really want to spoil it#TSC will receive a bit of attention since he is still very much tied to the plot of ava#tsc does have a split personality like an alter ego that takes over when he is in danger#i dont think i would really touch on the colour gang since i think it would make the story too messy#i do have most of the story already planned out#it is just the part leading to the ending#every weapon and tech in rocket corp was tested on TDL#in a way he did help with the destruction of chosen by helping rocket corp to improve their tech by being their test subject#fulfilling his code in its own twisted way#btw the additional cage in his containment area is to temporarily hold him during the box maintainence or upgrades#it is also the same type of cage that TSC is kept in currently#the box prototype that TDL is in would probably have a different name like 'the cage'#the bars of the cage is electrically charged and it also resembles a dog cage (dog symbolism)#there won't be too much about dark during his captivity since it will be more about how it impacted the relationship between him and chosen#i would probably start posting more random lore bits every now and then between comics#i hope i stop getting side tracked when working on this au

STAR TREK: VOYAGER // S4E17 Retrospect I fancied myself a psychologist, a ship's councillor, but I wasn't prepared for the complexities that come with such a responsibility.

[TUVOKTOBER: Day 17] Little Things Grown with Care.
#I drew this based heavily on illustrations by seiichi hayashi! They all have a pretty calming dreamy feel#I also had to reference Tuvok's room which was HARD#You catch a glimpse of it in 'Alter Ego' though.#he has so many candles and candle holders and ornate looking trinkets#I like it...it feels grandparent-cozy if that makes sense? Like it'd smell of incense and be a little too warm#and then there's also - of course- the plants <3 mostly flowers#I like the thought of Tuvok's loungewear being a bit fancy and silky#but when someone knocks at the door he quickly pulls on a robe or gown to go over it for modesty's sake#I wonder what he does in the privacy of his quarters...we really on see him meditating or reading#I wonder if he ever watches a movie and eats whatever he'd consider a snack while lounging on the couch#I wonder if he hums while cleaning#Tuvoktober#Tuvok#st voyager#st voyager art

it's the day before my birthday, and my girlfriend surprised me with an outing to a local bird aviary/botanic gardens in the mountains!!!
this was an absolute delight for me, known bird enjoyer, and i got to have many cute and phenomenal birds perched on my head (which i loved and plushie magolor 'tolerated', on account of it being my birthday). i even got to see a nicobar pigeon, which i had never seen in person before!
they also surprised me with an early birthday present to use at the incredible mountain-top picnic spread my gf planned (đđ) of this extraordinarily cute kirby themed liquid-glitter cup!!
and of course, in true starflung fashion i injured myself twice
once, not three minutes into the outing when my umbrella (which i only require because i'm allergic to both the sun and sunscreen) bit me, and my gf had to run to reception to get me a bandaid. later, when i just totally fkn stacked it on some loose gravel on a slope and i got the umbrella back by slamming it into the ground, along with my knees and one palm. but not the other palm, which was holding plushie magolor, who touched neither gravel nor dirt and never will while i still breathe!
#i am so accident prone and also stupidly fragile in every way. but i'm fine and i found both of these incidents hilarious!#i feel it is important that everybody know that my mum (who has dementia but recognises plushie magolor) asked âis that magolorâ when-#she saw meta knight on the cup. i said âno that's meta knightâ and she replied âoh i should have known. he's not as cute as magolor.â#and magolor's ego grew THREE TIMES that day let me tell you#the cup is also extremely important as a gift actually. i recently accidentally smashed a childhood glitter cup i've had my whole life#i adored it to bits; comfort item; it had toucans on it. i was quite devastated when it broke#but it's been impossible to replace (despite my gf's best efforts) and we knew no substitute would really hit the same.#but THIS is similar enough yet different enough and so *perfect* in its own right that it really... fills the spot.#my gf is phenomenal at gifts and surprises. truly she is unfathomable. i am so spoiled đ„ș#7inch plushie magolor return to dreamland#he does have other bows btw!! he's been dressing up for halloween and christmas and such but this is his Party Bow!#starflungs personal tag

bibo giving himself the joys c section scar makes me feel so crazyyyyy like transition wouldnt have saved him cuz he'd never even try it he just does this type of shit instead
#another thing too is like#aside from the fight with ocelot in snake eatsr being the most 'they are figuratively symbolically and thematically having sex right now'+#fight scene ive EVER played in a video game#like ocelot is openly getting gender euphoria from it and part of his whole deal is he does gender like a drag king#and in light of part of johns issues with the joy being that he does not have ego boundaries with her and on some level wants to be her#like oh my god.#i was saying this to wayland but if ocelot only had more of a mommy kink bosselot probably wouldve been a bit happier together#mgs#mgs text

I just wanted to say as someone who has stumbled across your blog and has read your Wednesday wips and posts about anything topgun related that your thought process and consideration of mav and ice, specifically their political beliefs and relationships with their own identities, is honestly so impressive and cool. You have brought such realism and life to these characters which is just so refreshing to see. idk i just wanted to express how cool and awesome i think that is
Because of the thought into these characters does it make it difficult to like them or understand them if you have differing opinions from them? for me personally i feel like if i were to ever actually have a convo with ice or mav regarding identity politics i would actually start to lose my mind (like how one feels when your dad or fun uncle talks for too long at thanksgiving dinner). If it does make them difficult to like, does that make it difficult for you to write them sometimes?
oh yeah! i think, my ice i really empathize with & really love & really could get along with, once he grows out of the sexism of his teens & twenties, but my maverick drives me crazy. someone sent in an ask a while ago that was like âWHY is cyclone simpson your one true love??â And itâs because i too would absolutely hate maverick & hate working with him lol. people who are overly cocky & un-self-aware & a bit self-centered make me CRAZY. (narrator voice: compacflt is a hypocrite as all these things also apply to compacflt.)
Politically⊠Itâs difficult to say. no one really wants to hear the intricacies of one personâs political journey, which is why i wonât give you mine, but suffice to sayâsince the start of the russian invasion of Ukraine, and my semi-concerted effort to learn more about the political landscape of modern warfare, my own personal beliefs have shifted a whole bunch. definitely aided in that shift by my top gun fic project that specifically aims to understand the conservative straight-passing male mindset as it relates to military matters⊠there are many end goals to a project like mine, but one end product is a filter you can take away and hold up in front of your eyes and see the world through it. When writing from the eyes of a conservative straight (passing) white man, your priorities totally shift. I had to write from the perspective of someone who doesnât care about identity politics. Because they donât! A core tenet of conservatism is very proudly not caring about that stuff, and being very annoyed when people (usually left-of-centers) make that stuff very visible and want you to care about it! âDonât shove it in my face,â etc., etc. Donât force me to care about this taboo, private thing I really donât care about. It violates my freedoms, or whatever, to be forced to careâor even bear witness toâstuff that i donât care about. Etc. And then, to be nominally a part of that community that you really, really donât care about, and then to be told that you have to care about it because of your publicity⊠people asking you to be proud of something that has had a negative connotation for much of your entire life⊠thatâs not a transformation that happens easily.
Jesus, I could write an essay about this. I have, several times by now in responses to asks over my blog. But there is so much that I could talk about. I think⊠I really worry that some of my writing falls into the first of the below categories:

I really try not to romanticize conservatism in my writingâI tried to show that ice and mavâs happiness is the price they pay for their conservatism. Theyâre actively choosing to be unhappyâbut because they prioritize their honor over everything, due to EXTERNAL PRESSURES they cannot control, and which I think are often ignored in the fandom space for one reason or another. The fact of the matter is, in 99% of IPs, characters prioritize something other than their sexualities. Itâs never Maverickâs personal identity that is at stake in either Top Gun or Top Gun: Maverick, because he has built himself so impermeably masculine that there are no grounds upon which to question his personal identity. He just isnât thinking about it. Heâs thinking about how to get into Charlieâs pants, how to win the Top Gun trophy, how to uphold his promise to Goose, et cetera. If heâs fucking guys on the side, itâs because he wants to and because hes maverick and he does what he wants without thinking about itâthatâs the whole point of his character, from a story-construction standpoint. Thatâs his archetype. Heâs a renegade maverick superstar who is both thoughtlessly brilliant and thoughtlessly dangerous. Heâs thoughtless. His priorities are to survive and to look cool doing it, and thatâs it. He is a savant in the Naval Air Force, where honor is your lifeblood, who feels he has been dishonored by his own family name, and who willingly joined the conservative post-Vietnam Navy right when/after Ronald Reagan was elected President, and who wears cowboy boots and who disrespects women to their faces, and who is eager to get into altercations with Soviet-Chinese-DPRK-X-second-world-country-coded-but-EXPLICITLY-Soviet-manufactured-Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-28s(-F-5s-painted-black)⊠Iâm sorry. In my opinion, the conservatism is baked into him as a character. I find it extremely difficult to separate him from his conservatism, because in some ways his patriotic conservatism is his raison dâetre. IMO if you take that away from him, he ceases to exist.
Same thing with Ice and his unwillingness to openly rebel or go against the grain. That is his whole reason to exist in the story at all. I know that Iâm saying this in a fandom space where the whole point is to change characters & put them in different situations (fanfic) but⊠in kind of a perverse self aware way, as in I know I sound ridiculous and pretentious, i guess i donât really understand an impulse to change the core tenets of a character irreparably in fanworks. We are shown that ice always goes by the books in TG. Then we are shown that he achieves the fruits of that labor (four stars) in TGM. So he is rewarded for never rebelling, whereas Maverick, who always rebels (but NEVER in a way that challenges his personal identity), has stagnated in the ranks at full-bird O-6. And thatâs Iceâs character. Thatâs what heâs there for in the storyâheâs a tool to show us the value system of rank and prestige you earn by following the rules of the Navy. Why take that away from him? Thatâs his priority! Canonically, thatâs his priority and reason for existence! And historically the way to achieve that priority is through conservatism.
And you ask me if itâs hard to like my ice and mav. Yes, but thatâs not my choice. The movie already did that for me. They are not, Iâm sorry, likable people. I am not a straight white conservative male writing about straight white conservative men to validate my own beliefsâIâm a queer AFAB person of color writing about straight white conservative men because I want to understand the limits of their conservatism. What they do and do not care about, and what it takes to make them care. And from what we are shown in TG⊠ice and mav would not care about ME. At all. And they would not want to be forced to care about me. Iceâs casual careless dismissiveness⊠âthe plaque for the alternates is down in the ladiesâ roomâŠâ mav following Charlie into the bathroom⊠turning the key in the ignition and driving away while pretending not to hear her⊠âwhat?? i canât hear you! đâ ⊠they do not care. They have no desire to care.
Again. Maybe I subscribe to a very very old-school and labored and pretentious ideology when it comes to writing⊠I know a lot of people write just to have fun. I do not. I wish i could, but I donât. And when youâre not writing to have fun, you donât have to like the characters youâre writing about. Theyâre nothing more than tools at your disposal to get your point across more effectively. No, I donât like them! Of course not! My ice is cruel and cowardly and careless and hypocritical and subservient and weak, and my mav is demanding and dangerous and dismissive and oblivious and so, so, so unbelievably bitter.
And thatâs what my story needed, to get my point across. So, shrug. My point was my priority. I donât care too much about the characters themselves.
Re: icemav & identity politics. Part of hopefully selling this story is the attempt at empathy for the conservative male, to bring this discussion back to the top. Why write fiction at all if youâre not going to write about people different from you, and why write about people different from you if you donât want to understand them? So⊠part of trying to understand them was to understand and have empathy for this shift in priorities. Conservative guys do not want to care about labels, or sexual orientations, or, God forbid, discussion of their gender identities. I can kind of see Ice tolerating it by the end⊠but, there are limits. Again, itâs supposed to be private. I think heâd chafe against getting labeled gayâhe wouldnât want to be called the first gay compacflt, or SECNAV, etc. He canât say, âi slept with like a hundred fifty women before I even MET the ONLY man ive ever slept with,â because thatâs like intensely private personal information!! No one deserves that information, but people still want to call him gay, even though in his head he really is not!!!! Againâfrom the conservative perspective, itâs a public imposition of left-wing, overly sexualized, too-neat labels and politics onto an area of life that has typically been kept private and respectableâI donât agree with the conservatism, but I can at least empathize with it. Pre-Maverickâs death (pre-coming to terms with it), it wouldâve been shameful & embarrassing to him; but even after coming to terms with it, itâs still not something he âtakes prideâ in. I think he thinks of it like thisâmost people arenât proud of being straight. Like, itâs weird if you are. Same thing with being proud of being white, etc. Why be excessively proud of things you have no control over? Why not take pride in your ACTIONSâfor instance, his career that he has actively sacrificed so much of his pride for? I can really empathize with that thought. I donât necessarily agree, but I get it, especially in his professional circumstances, where he has so much to be professionally proud of, and yet people keep wanting him to publicly care about this private part of him he has no control over and canât change.
Maverick though. I think heâd be actively hostile about talking about it in public. He Does Not Care. he does not want to care. Itâs all an insult. They call him the first openly gay Ace cause heâs married to another manâ âokay, but, like, Iâm not. Stop calling me that. Neither of us are. Oh my god we have slept with so many women. Stop calling us that.â Ok then what do you want us, the press corps, to call you? First openly bisexual Ace? âNo thatâs worse!! Thatâs a word some teenager made up and doesnât mean anything!! Iâm sixty years old stop asking me to talk about this stuff im too old.â What do you have to say to LGBT kids who want to go into the navy? âđđ thereâs a place for you etc etc. Letâs go back to talking about all the planes I shot down.â Maverick does what he wants without thinking about it. Thatâs the core tenet of his character. Very conservative. Donât ask him to care too much.

Idk. No I donât like them. But I understand them, if that makes sense. Like their conservative anti-label logic does make emotional sense to me. So thatâs part of what I took away from this project, for better or worse⊠probably worse: I understand why conservatives donât like the modern over-publicity of sexuality. They donât care and they donât want to care. And because they are small-C conservative, my ice and mav still donât care lol. So, yeah. It doesnât make them hard to write, because thats why I wanted to write them in the first place.
#what does it say about me that i put myself in their shoes & understand their position#i donât agree with it but I understand it#the annoyance and the bad optics and the over labeling of hard-to-label sexuality#being a gay republican has got to be the seventh circle of hell#note my ice and mav are not republicans#but also note my story would not change even one bit if they were#i donât LIKE gay republicans because theyïżœïżœïżœre republicans. but i can empathize with them cause thatâs gotta fucking blow.#normie median biden voter ice#now I think if a kid came up to maverick at an airshow and was likeâŠ#sir im trans and I think I want to go into the navy to fly & youâre my heroâŠ#heâd freak out like âomg that means so much to me actually thanks!! it might be difficult for u i wonât lie but we need more people who#can overcome adversityâŠomg let me set you up with this admiral i know⊠yes yes yesâŠâ#he doesnât like the conceptual discussions but he likes the people if that makes sense#& he really likes people massaging his ego#i find them incredibly annoying. but thatâs what character development is for. if u start out liking ur characters ur doing smth wrong#& if they werenât incredibly annoying then i wouldnât have a story to write.#pete maverick mitchell#tom iceman kazansky#icemav#top gun#top gun maverick#asks#edts notes#**obvious disclaimer this is just my interpretation!!!**

i have many asks but first. i am diongisu trash. give me. your dion-raised-as-a-child-actor meeting gisu. she has a crush on him, is he more charming and suave? Does he like her, or is he surrounded by starlets and more arrogant?
"You know that guy's probably secretly a stuck-up jerk, right?" Morris comments, as Gisu slips the poster into her bag.
"Don't care, he's hot." Gisu shrugs. "And I'm only meeting him long enough to get an autograph, it's not gonna change my life or anything." She's attempting to be nonchalant, but if the quirk of Morris' eyebrows are any indication, then the tweenage girl inside her currently squealing and kicking her feet in excitement is as obvious as the sun in the sky.
Well, whatever. Gisu doesn't need Morris' approval. She does kind of need Hollis' approval, but since it's a junior psychonaut mission and thus mostly just surveilance of a spot for the sake of familiarizing themselves with long-term stakeouts, there's plenty of free time to levboard down to the meet and greet and get in line. So she goes, and gets in line, and waits as it slowly moves forwards to her goal.
Dionysus Carlisle's perfectly cordial with fans, winning smile plastered on his face as he signs the poster and writes a snappy little comment for her, putting a star over the i's and turning the o's into a hearts.
Standing so close to himâwow, he's tallâand his pretty face with clear skin and square jaw and piercing blue eyes all framed by dark curls that are so unfairly pretty on himâit makes Gisu feel like she's going to explode. She'd brushed her hair on the way here, her clothes are clean and she knows her acne's barely there right now, but there's still a massive difference between her in a casual outfit and Dionysus dolled up by a whole team of cosmetologists. It's enough to make a girl feel small under the excitement rattling around her ribcage.
Gisu had accidentally used the back of the poster as scrap paper for math homework a couple months back, and as she's carefully rolling up the poster to hold it more safely Dionysus notices and comments,
"Long division, huh? Guess you must be pretty smart."
His thoughts are opaque, unreadable behind his smile. Not that Gisu's in any state to try reading his mind anyway, her breath lodging in her throat and her feet briefly leaving the ground as she stares at Dionysusâ
"Next!" And then Gisu's gently moved along by security to make room for the next girl, autograph book clasped in slender, delicate hands perfectly washed and free of scars or scuffs, polished and perfectly round nails painted bubblegum pink. The momentum of the line keeps Gisu moving, heart pounding in her chest and thoughts chasing their own tails as she wanders blindly towards the bus stop.
That was... wow.
Gisu shakes her head. Her feet are firmly planted on the groundâshe slips her levboard off her back and gets on, pushing off with little effort. Carefully, she tucks the poster into her bagâit'll fit neatly between her All-Paul and Marie Curie posters once she gets back to her dorm.
That's still three days away, thoughâshe's still got that mission to complete.
#ask zaz#brain-bumbler#psychonauts#gisu nariman#dion aquato#concept#zaz writes#uh okay so to ACTUALLY answer your question: dion does have an ego but it's a) entirely (& precariously) based on how good he is at his job#and b) not part of his ''meeting eager fans'' persona#like. he's still a bit cocky even with fans but he's also been trained to be as nice to them as possible (and it's mostly genuine!)#also as for whether dion likes her. he does not YET. give it a day and an accidental involvement in a not-for-juniors-anymore mission#and THEN he'll be crushing#but until then gisu's just kind of interesting by dint of letting some of her gremlinness shine through (likeâ sayâ marks on her hands)

the heist!mark brainrot is consuming meâŠ, just imagine mark n the viewer meeting for the first time as little kids to shoplift candy or smth together â„ïčâ„
the (brain)rot consumes!! I can relate
my dear anon... LISTEN. I am a big advocate for childhood friends captaineer, it's one of my favourite headcanons, but a childhood friends AU for the heist partners? that's something I hadn't considered until now. and it's adorable. I had to write something for it asap because I was INSPIRED. I hope you enjoyđ thanks for sparking the idea!
Heist!Mark x reader (not explicitly romantic at all it's more about the friendship in this one) | Words: 1,317
You are in the kitchen of your shared home base, unloading the groceries your heist partner has just bought, when you pick up a bag of sour candies, smiling quietly to yourself. He's always been a fan of them.
Turning the packet in your hands, an old memory drifts to the surface of your mind:
You don't remember exactly how long ago it was, but you couldn't have been much older than maybe ten.
Your father was busy working, and had reluctantly sent you to the store with a small list after you insisted you could handle it on your own.
You slipped the folded piece of paper out of your school bag and scanned the list of items. At the bottom was a note that read, âRemember to stay hydrated, kiddo! :)â
You walked around the supermarket collecting the few things on your list and placed them in your trolley. On your way to the checkout, you passed through the candy aisle and slowed to eye the products on display.
âAren't you going to get anything?â
Your head perked up, shocked at the sudden voice addressing you.
There was a boy next to you with dark hair, looking at you inquisitively. He seemed to be about your age. He might have even been slightly shorter than you.
You must have been standing here for longer than you realised if it had prompted him to ask you about it.
You shook your head.
âWhy not?â
âOh, um. My dad only gave me enough money for what we need,â you said timidly, showing him the list.
âOhh, that's too bad.â Then, a small yet undeniably mischievous smile appeared on his face. He glanced discreetly up and down the aisle. âYou know you can just â â and he took one of the small packets of candy off the shelf and slipped it swiftly into his pocket.
Your eyes went wide, stunned. Both from the fact that he was suggesting you steal, and at the speed and subtly with which he'd enacted the crime, as if he'd done it dozens of times before, if not more.
âWhat are you doing?â you spoke in a harsh whisper.
âIt's no big deal,â he said in a lower voice than before, but one that still felt entirely too loud. He slipped another bag into his pocket.
You did not want to associate with this boy any longer.
You pushed your trolley away and towards the checkout, handing your items to the cashier.
You were unhappy to find the boy waiting for you when you exited the store, shopping bag in your hand.
âWhat do you want?â you asked, a little standoffishly, frowning at him.
âThere's no need to be rude,â he said with a small pout. âY'know, I think I might have seen you at school a few times.â
To your dismay, he followed along as you started walking home. When you pressed him, he simply said, âHey, I'm not following you! I live down this way too, I promise!â
As the two of you walked, he chatted annoyingly by your side. What was more annoying was that you found you didn't mind his presence. You were a quiet kid and you didn't have many friends. Having someone to walk home with you was kind of a nice change of pace.
Just as you thought this, though, you immediately chided yourself mentally. You and him were not friends. You weren't going to be friends. This boy was a criminal and he wasn't even sorry about it.
You frowned in thought.
Oh no, what if he got caught? What if you went to juvenile jail for being an accomplice to theft? What would Dad say? What would Mom say? What ifââ
âHey, are you listening to me? You haven't responded to anything I'm saying.â
You simply sighed as he pulled you out of your thoughts.
âAre you still mad about the candy? I told you it's not a big deal.â
You stopped as you realised you were approaching your front door. The journey seemed to have gone a little faster than usual.
âReally?â you finally replied in an exasperated tone. âThat was no big deal for you? That was stealing. Stealing is wrong.â You couldn't believe you had to spell it out to him.
âThey won't notice a couple tiny bags of candy are gone. My mom says big companies that own supermarkets are greedy. They make loads of money anyway and don't pay enough taxes.â
âDoes your mom know you're a thief?â
âW- well, no, but-â
âThatâs what I thought.â
He looked a little disheartened.
âPlease don't tell anyone. I'm sorry if I upset you,â he said quietly, looking down.
You hadn't really expected an apology from someone like him. You sighed again.
âI won't tell, but don't expect me to just go along with it. And don't act like we're best buds all of a sudden. We don't know each other. You don't even know my name!â
âWell, what's your name?â
You gave him a slightly surprised look before telling him your name, albeit hesitantly.
âLook, I have to get going nowâŠâ
You fumbled with the shopping bag as you reached into your coat pocket, feeling for the house key, when you suddenly felt something that wasn't there before. It made a crinkling sound beneath your touch.
âYou didn't.â You pulled the candy out of your pocket. âWhen did youâ?â
The boy grinned at you.
âI thought you could have one of mine.â
âI don't want your stolen candy!â
âJudging by how you looked at it earlier, I think you do. And besides, stolen treats taste better!â he called out, already walking away.
âWh- SHH!â You hoped none of your neighbours had heard.
âI'm Mark by the way! See ya, buddy!â
You stood outside the front door, dumbfounded.
Finally you let yourself in. Your dad wouldn't be home yet for a while.
You put the shopping away and sat down at your kitchen table, staring at the stolen goods in front of you.
You could try to put it back but⊠that would be more suspicious.
You figured, the deed had been done. There was nothing you could do now, so you may as well make the most of it.
You tore the edge of the packet and popped one of the candies in your mouth, savouring the sweet and sour combination on your tongue.
Maybe Mark was right. It did taste extra good. But maybe it was just because you'd been craving it.
What a weird kid.
âStealing is wrong, huhâŠ?â you mumble under your breath. You look down at the candy in your hands. It's not the same brand as the one from back then, but you imagine it tastes more or less the same, from what you remember.
Present day Mark is the one to pull you out of your musings.
âHey, what's with that face you're making? I know that look, buddy. Are you contemplating your life choices??â
You chuckle softly.
âJust⊠got reminded of something. I suppose I got lost in nostalgia for a moment.â
âOh yeah? Penny for your thoughts?â
You turn and smile at him.
âThis just made me think of an annoying little boy stealing candy from a supermarket. And his reluctant acquaintance who ended up getting dragged into his antics for the foreseeable future.â
It takes a second for it to click.
âOhhhhh.â You watch as realisation turns to him smiling fondly at the memories, which turns to him snapping his attention to you with a fake-offended look.
You laugh at his expression.
âWait, hey! Annoying?!â

âExcuse you, I was a wonderful, sweet and positively charming child.â
Your laughter rings out in the kitchen, full of mirth, and he shakes his head at you with a familiar lopsided grin, and you are so grateful for the cheeky little boy who approached you that day.

I have. So much power. Esp w the ability to use any portrait I want for any class. Which maybe was always the case? But the funniest example here is Bruno. The Medic. That armor in his portrait? Just for show. He's only allowed to wear extremely tearable fabric. As the gods intended. It's part of his curse, you see,
Also Moe voice "Yo who the fuck invited your undead dad to the function??????"
#dandelion guild chronicles#now w these bits of lore. book ??? and a half seems to take place after book 3 but before book 6#i think. it's book 6. i can't bring myself to finish it i'm still so upset about bruno đđđđđ#also the portrait i used for veronica def matches her young design more.#i'm completely unserious about this btw LMFAOOOO i'm just goofing around. STILL it's SO FUN#BEING ABLE TO COLOR PICK. AND LUCKING OUT SO MUCH W THE SPECIFIC CLASSES/PORTRAITS IN THIS ONE#UNLIMITED POWER...........#somewhat. limited power. bc even though i lucked out w the hero/sovereign classes specifically#i really don't know if i could make a convincing triandra much less peony....... SAD.#the voices are SUCH a fun feature too. i did have a lot of trouble picking one for takumi though...#haughty was the closest. in voice range/candence/energy. it does match his ego/tendency to show off#for. reasons unrelated to any inferiority complex he may or may not have ofc.#also resolute could have fit gustav too... but i can't do that to alfonse. i can't do him that fucking dirty.#it would just be. disrespectful.#gustav is only here bc the portrait fits SO well. except for the muscle mass. lost a bit of it being a corpse for too long i guess.#fire emblem#etrian odyssey#fe takumi#fe bruno#alear#fe celine#edelgard#fe gustav#(derogatory)

Theres nothing more self indulgent than writting a fanfic for your AU except for making artwork for it months later
#sink scene dont be so reckless is like#he knows he fucked up big#part of steven's character is pulled from his XY and Journeys PokeAni personality#he has a bit of an ego but that failed raid broke him way more than he expected#he still does have bits of his stubbronness but it is burried deep down under all that trauma and self doubt

The Paladin's eyes lit up with that almost fanatical glow typical of whenever she was incensed about something. Upon hearing "Cania" Raphael almost choked on the wine he was drinking.
Raphael and his [very delulu] situationship partner Raksha. Quick sketch for the first part of my BG3 prequel.
I rewrote some of my lore so that they actually knew each other since a while - they met at her Lord's court. She's a vicious Paladin who outright enjoys slaying Hellspawns - but doesn't know he's a Cambion.
Things go south when her Lord charges Raksha and her platoon to take on Mephistopheles' domain, Cania.
And yes, she's RHYMING because she too is a dramatic theatre kid.
#baldur's gate 3#bg3#Azarel the Hell-touched#but before she changed name lol#Raphael#the situationship in question is that she's a ââââchaste knightââââ#but sees nothing against teasing him to oblivion#she has her own contradictions that make her attractive to him#let me play a bit with the concept of Raphael being victim of his human feelings ;3#mind you she *does* have the skill to match her massive ego#but she's still not enough to face Meph like he CRUSHES her platoon without effort lol

iâm at work rn but having deep deep thoughts about sebastian vettelâs self esteem
#when you have so much success so young you need to make sure your ego does not get too big#and yet when you go through tough times in your career you need some ego to battle through#i think he really wants to make sure he keeps himself grounded#and yet at the same time i donât think he KNOWS that the way he talks about f1 legends is how we talk about him!!!!!!!!!#he seems very happy right now (if a bit nostalgic today) but at the same time i wanna be like SEB YOU ARE SO LOVED#seb

letting gojo fuck you raw might have been a mistake, especially now that he wants kids..â
(part 1 here)
yesâit felt good. heavenly, even. feeling him fill you up without a contraceptive barrier between you might overlap an ego death on the life-altering-experiences venn diagram.
but now your boyfriend throws a tantrum whenever you tell him to wrap it. he pouts and whines and stamps his fucking feet like a child at your child-preventative measures. heâs too tall to act like a toddlerâif you didnât secretly enjoy the pining youâd hit him upside the back of his head and tell him to stop sulking.
âweâre too young to be parents,â youâd tell him as he rubs his uncovered cock through your folds, from your entrance up to your sensitive clit and back down.
his counter? âthe earlier we start, the longer we have to try for more.â
âmaybe youre forgetting the whole âjujutsu sorcerer, could-die-at-any-moment' thing?â
âare you forgetting that iâm the strongest? plus, i think iâd look hot saving the world wearing a baby carrier⊠not that i would endanger our kid like that. bad point, ask me a new one.â
âwe arenât playing trivia.â
âcmon,â a tap of the head of his cock to your clit. âhumour me.â
âalright, children are fucking expensive.â
âbabe, youâre not seriousâyou do know iâm filthy rich, right? capitalism fears me. iâm like that rich disney duck with the top hat andââ
you point a finger in his face. âput a goddamn condom on or youâre banned from sex for a month, scrooge.â
and he blinks, pretends to be offended at how responsible you are, and then falls into an easy smile because sex with you is more than enough for him. when he sinks into you, condom-covered or not, he falls a little bit more in love each time.
but it is not the same and you know it.
the weight of him on top of you is the same. as is the snapping thrusts of his hips into yours and the gentle circles he traces over your clit and the way he moans your name once heâs sheathed fully inside of you. itâs the same.
but itâs not the same as taking him raw. itâs not the bulge of his veins against your velvet walls. nor is it the beading precum at his tip dripping inside of you, or the filthy fucking drawling moans he lets out when he fills you to the brim.
âyouâre so beautiful,â he's moaning like he's in heat. completely enthralled with every aspect of your being, satoru groans and moans and snaps forward into you like he's trying to breed you regardless.
and you're so full, stretched to your limits with his cock pulsing inside of you, but you don't feel satiated like you could. you've tasted it once, the feel of his cum spilling into you, the knowledge of what it could do to you. to him. he would look good as a dad. god, him holding a baby in his arms...
"pull out."
gojo stops immediately at your words, blinking the lust from his eyes in an immediate shock change of expression. he's looking you over, making sure you're not in any pain, before pulling out of you completely with no questions asked. he's always been good like thatâsure, he'll whine about wearing latex but he'd never push you past your spoken limits.
"you wanna stop?" he asks gently, already reaching for a washcloth to wipe you down with. his eyes watch you carefully, obsessed with your interest and comfort: you have to stop yourself from laughing at his panic. "we can watch some TV or go to bed or i could make youâ"
his words die in his mouth when you reach down to his still-hard cock and slowly pull the condom that covers it from the top. it slides from his length with a little resistance before finally pulling over the head and snapping back at your hand with a subtle sting.
"fuck me," you meet his eyes.
"what? you saidâ"
"satoru. fuck me. breed me, even. how many other ways do i have to put it? i want you to fuck a baby into me."
he blinks again. no witty comment, no awful smirk or joke about being a dilf. you've gone and rendered satoru speechless. when he does finally move his lips, it's not to dirty talk you like expected.
"we aren't married."
you can't help but laugh. "what?"
"i'm going to marry you first, and then you are going to make me a dad. i have it all planned out, babe, we can't have drunk honeymoon sex if you're pregnant. though you would look fucking beautiful on a beach somewhere with a baby bump. god now i'm conflicted."
"you have it planned?"
the thought of satoru planning this out hits you, him thinking about a future with you, a ring on your finger, embracing the stress of parenthood together so well that when the kids move out and you're old and grey, you abhor having a silent home.
"so are you going to propose or not?" you look at him.
again, he blinks. "right now?"
"why not? do you have a ring?"
satoru looks at you, smiles, and slips off the bedâstill nakedâto reach into the bedside drawer. a small black box sits in his top drawer, ironically under a pile of condoms. he holds it in his hand and returns to you with a kiss to your knee, and then one to your inner thigh, and another just above your clit. he works his way up your stomach, of course stopping to bite at your nipples when he reaches your chest, and then presses himself fully against you once his lips find yours.
when he pulls away, you're met with the sight of a ring you had pointed out to him months ago. had he really been planning this long? "i knew i was going to marry you on our first date," he says, but then counters, "actually, that's a lie. it was when i tasted that sweet pussy of yours for the first time, but that's not as romantic."
you smile, bracing yourself for a long-winded speech when satoru suddenly pushes the tip of his now-uncovered cock inside of you. you gasp, and he swallows it with a kiss before taking your hand in his and slipping the ring down your finger with a breathy; "will you marry me?"
"yes," of course, is your answer. which warrants a sudden deep thrust from your now-fiancé as he bottoms out inside of you.
"yeah?" he nips at your neck. "you'll marry me? gonna make me a dad too, huh? gonna fill you up, baby, gonna breed you out andâ"
"i thought you saidâ"
"changed my mind. now, lift your legs up: you're not leaving this bed until i've knocked you up, pretty."

A self-portrait? That's so funny
you have to understand he IS pretty funny. That's a huge thing about him.
That's my blorbo <333
#he does have a bit of an ego. he wouldn't be called 'Pride' otherwise.#tho he's more humble than people give him credit for#the duality of 'it's complicated'#he calls HIMSELF Pride but that's also because he sees the worst part of himself#he's a bit of both#he's not a monster. he's not a saint either. he's a man trying his best.#and he cares about history and recording it so it's no wonder he records himself like that#but yeah he's pretty funny#just like he painted the ascention of the Inquisitor surrounded by wolves#'ahah amazing creative directive Solas! why do everyone think i work for Fen'Harel?'#meanwhile the guy who couldn't help putting in his fursona in the Inquisition history: who knows#ichareply#ichafantalks da#ichablogging dai#anonymous
