#he might headbutt tho so

[robindoesthings]

My hand slipped. Turned Grian into a satyr deer.

[sshcomic]

We all know know that Shinjiro is going to face some repercussions of his behaviour soon; my bet is on Tanjiro’s headbutt, but Akaza is definitely going give a good punch

we'll see haha! kyojuro is also there, which means he might be able to get between the two parties involved before it get physical 😂

also ngl ive been reading some kokushin fic recently, so i've been idly considering it 😂😂 but idk. im not even really focusing on other ships besides renkaza in this. still tho, cuz im curious:

[kirbyystar]

fluff Inosuke - headcanon

character: Inosuke Hashibira

a/n: my kyojuro blog did so well (thank you for those who reblogged and liked <3) I decide to keep this going! I will be doing Inosuke in this blog, either Giyu or Tanjiro.

NOTE: my work will always purely be fluff. I will not write 18+ work as of now.

where do i start..

for one, he clearly has his own way of love. its clearly different and not what you might experienced with anyone else. but, his love is definitely one of a kind. Of course it took a while to grasp the idea you guys were together- his feelings were always there, he just didn't know how to cope with it. He likes to come back from missions with flowers for you <3 most of the time the flowers are crushed from being in his pocket. but its the thought that counts! he genuinely cares for you. in fact, your name is the only name he can verbally pronounce right! it took a while but he made it his goal to remember it! you understand he might be a bit.. naïve or silly most of the time but you're always there to help him understand, almost as if your guide. part of why hes so fond and attracted to you. you're so intelligent, he loves it.

his favorite thing about you is your personality

he loves how smart, bright, cheerful you are. especially when your his #1 cheerleader lol

inosuke loves your scent, you constantly remind him if he wants to cuddle or physical contact.. he gotta shower😭 hes always out of missions and now he comes back ready to shower to soon jump on you

many many things improved of him since being with you, in a good way ofc!

he loves to physically fight with you

most of the time, he wins. but when YOU win, he immediately demands a rematch

inosuke has his way of complimenting you

he doesn't usually use nicknames bc he somewhat manages to pronounce it wrong

"my paby" 😭 took you both at least 4 times to say "baby"

he loves LOVESS when you give him nicknames, especially if you praise him

praising him makes him feel like the king of the world

not really a kisser or a hugger, moments like these are rare

although he immediately folds and is basically at your feet when your in his presence. he just cant control himself

so, its clear to say, inosuke is in love with you. he won't ever admit being in love unless he truly felt. he's the type to be very honest and wouldn't want you to get hurt. he does his best with you because he wants you to be happy. he never wants you to leave him. separation is prolly the scariest thing for him. although its almost as if he has commitment issues, ONLY BECAUSE he worries a lot if he isn't good enough. (which ofc hes more than enough, hes everything) but inosuke is very open about the thought. just for reassurance from him. part of the reason why hes so scared to leave you is because how you guys met lol

both of you had a separate mission however, you just happen to cross path with inosuke. this made him headbutt you because silly inosuke thought you were trying to interfere with his mission </3 it was quite a moment though, he kept declaring he'll kill the demon before you can and you just stood there like... what LMAO its ok tho cuz after a lot of communication mainly from you, inosuke finally understand you, and it was almost as if it was fate, you guys kept crossing each others path, soon enough, you guys were doing missions together. it didnt bother either of you considering how many times you guys often seen each other.

hes not afraid to stand by you in public, holding hands only makes him more flustered ofc

but hes def the "man of the relationship"

wont let you hold any of your things when shopping

keeps notes you write for him so he can always read them <3

(you help him so much and hes truly thankful)

bluntly compliments you-

"y/n, you're so beautiful today."

he always got that smirk on his face when he knows he got you flustered lol

always backfires tho every time you say a comeback (as u should)

you guys be having the most random convos

Honestly, in the end, hes truly all you got and will do anything to protect you. Your happiness makes him happy, and thats all he needs.

Hi, could you maybe write some fem reader x Scout with crying and heavy degradation? My brain goes to the reader's team losing a match and Scout rubbing it in, only to be hit back at and Not taking that well. The competitive need for control results in a good beating in addition to the noncon side of his reaction.

HELLOOOO i know who this is ilyyyyyy <3 <3 anything for u. i shoulda made this a fic tho. TAKE HEED!! scout does a quick snuffing of ur flame at the end. hope ur okay with my long winded yammering! -`✮´-

tw for : beatings/injury/gore, rape, insults, and then snuff + implied necrophilia

✮ the fuck did you expect, getting bitchy and attempting to bruise a Scout's ego?

✮ when the runner came up to you during a shit match, bruised and sore, you already knew this wasn't gonna be a fun experience. the way he wore himself, his shoulders straight, baseball held tight in a white knuckle grip. worst of all, he wore this shit-eating grin that made your hands go numb with the effort to not rip at it like an animal.

✮ backed into a corner with no teammates, you didn't feel very confident in being able to slip away.

✮ he laughed at your stressed form, making you grit your teeth. his laughter was so. fucking loud. Scout was full aware of the upper hand he had, and the fact his team was winning, he held himself like hound who stood over deceased prey

✮ " what the hell do we have here, huh? quite a bit away from your teammates, aren't we, miss? " he grinned at you, baring his teeth in a cocky and aggressive manner, " dont'cha have some people to be helpin'? you losers aren't doing much good today! "

✮ previously hunched, you stood and matched his pose. he snarled gleefully down at you, sliding his bat from his shoulder. you snarled back, less gleeful.

✮ THUNK.

✮ one quick, easy kick, and Scout yelped like an injured dog. having his feet swept out from under him, his grin twisted up at you like he was scandalized. unfortunately that wasn't going to much more than just piss him off from embarrassment, not even someone with as little durability as a Scout would be down like the dead by a simple swipe to the shins.

✮ it was more out of spite than anything. you knew full well your own stamina and ability was worn down, might as well be unreasonable until he brings that bat down on your skull and you respawn.

✮ odd enough, he cast his bat to the side and tore you down to hit the ground similarly to him. the only difference being that you quickly get disoriented by the drop of your head against the hard ground.

✮ " don't really know what you expected, doin' some dumbass petty shit like that. " he roughly stabbed his knee directly into your stomach, leaning over you, making air shoot out of your lungs painfully in a grunt.

✮ you leered, and attempted to headbutt him, missing by a mile.

✮ " you're just doin' this to piss me off! you're not gonna fuckin' win. you and your whole team know this, you full well know this! what, did you give yourself brain damage on the way down here? did'ja? " grabbing your hair, he slammed your head back into the ground to emphasize his point. he dug his stupid boney knee into your abdomen even harder, if only to make you squirm from the pressure.

✮ " i can give you some if you didn't! " he would snark, and grab the fistful of your hair tighter so he could repeatedly slam the back of your head as hard as he could against the cold ground.

✮ despite your flails, he kept you pinned with his knee, and kept you disoriented with the repeated head trauma. all ragged breaths, he was doing this out of pure cruelty. truthfully he didn't come over with the intent on killing you immediately, he just wanted pure amusement.

✮ literally the only reason you are doing jack shit is because he's probably actively giving you a concussion. you feel like your brain is wobbling and bruised, you couldn't properly focus your eyes-

✮ pulling your pounding head to face him, you moaned low, and shakily out of pain.

✮ the noise made his eye twitch, and he paused. gears turned, and turned.

✮ " why do you sound like a whore when you're close to death? " he leaned his face close to yours, " is it cuz i'm mashing your brains in? awh, am I smashing you good? damn, you even kind of look cumbrained when you're this dizzy. "

✮ a fist slammed full force against your jaw. you felt it wetly snap out of its socket, the muscles pulling painfully as they no doubt ripped under the quickly marbling skin.

✮ the same fist slammed against your nose. whipping your head back, red spray quickly shot out of your nose and all over your face. it was embarrassing how easily your nose cracked under the force.

✮ between the TBI, the knee on your soft stomach, your bruised arms, and your sore legs, you were less than prime for fighting back against someone who had looked like they were freshly healed.

✮ Scout seemed to put these pieces together pretty quick. it was funny to see you flail though, you were like a fish.

✮ it wasn't long until he grew bored of watching the blood pool out of your nose. you weakly clawed him, trying to dig your nails as deep as you could get them. another fluid joined the blood on your face- tears. wrapping his hand around your throat, he felt his breath hitch.

✮ the man looked a little TOO decisive at that moment. the fuck was he-?

✮ his hands pressed on your windpipe, ripping at your already weak lungs, the clawing desperation for oxygen very quickly took over. it could've been funny how little your lung capacity was as of the moment, if he weren't a little distracted. you lifted your hands, trying to rip at his hands to get him to undo them. more tears flooded your expression. the color blue quickly joined. The enemy above you laughed shakily, his face turning an opposing red.

✮ " god, holy shit. you're crying just from this? " his voice was quieter, " just from this? i don't feel bad for you, then! could you be any more pathetic, you fuckin' loser? i'll show you something you can cry about, babe. "

✮ the suddenness of the pet name was weird, it promised something horrible.

✮ it made due on that promise immediately, impatiently. it wasn't long until you felt a breeze against your thighs. and then your chest. coughing from the sudden ability to breathe, you couldn't focus.

✮ Scout hunched over you, eyes running up and down your bruised body for too long. your shirt had been untucked, and pulled up to expose your chest. more worringly, your pants also were discarded. adrenaline pumping through you again, he quickly noticed, pulling out his pistol.

✮ " this is just the price you pay for being a sore loser, c'mon. " he sounded too unfocused to put serious effort into being pissed anymore. he moved quickly, and you ended up with a bullet through your foot. " don't wanna be a sore loser, do ya? " he was mumbling.

✮ your underwear had disappeared as soon as you came back from the blinding white pain.

✮ you felt his thin fingers slide through your slit, spreading you open briefly. you heard him wolf whistle, leaning back from his position to check you out. you felt nauseated from pain.

✮ " wow, wet, all for me? " he sounded genuinely surprised, but his tone was edged by mockery. he bit his lip, glancing around, and then leaned back over you. you spat something through your broken jaw, but most of your words failed to be uttered. he let out a barking laugh at your sputtering. both you and he knew it was the adrenaline, not actual arousal. didn't matter to him.

✮ you felt him shifting, eyes blurring as your head pounded from the hits, and now from the tears fighting their way out of you. slurring your words, you pushed him to stop, he had no right, fervently declaring that he should just kill you. there was no need to go farther.

✮ he just rolled his eyes, " i don't see anything tellin' me i don't need to do it though. good enough for me. your fault for being a petty bitch and then sobbing like that. " he had removed his own pants, and undergarments.

✮ you didn't stop shifting and clawing at the floor, blinking your eyes against shock and tears. you couldn't feel much more than pathetic with how you lacked the ability to properly fight him, and by the way the creep was almost immediately taking advantage of you when you were low on health, he probably full heartedly agreed. you couldn't see yourself living this down.

✮ of course he was hard already. you tried to push yourself away, hissing and abusing your already injured foot. his eyebrow twitched and he pulled you back under him easily. Scout was getting sick of you and he was getting sick of the fighting quick, as proved by the half hearted hit to your crooked jaw and the tense silence.

✮ the guy wasted NO time getting in between your thighs, and yanking them open. a shrieking noise left you, painful and tired. you let out a low whine, lurching forward and sitting up out of pure adrenaline, but it was quickly corrected by a swift push back onto your back. this did not make you immediately stop resisting, until he slammed his hands against your windpipe again, and rutted against your cunt.

✮ Scout stayed like that for a while, crushing your throat. " i win. i'm the winner. i win. i fuckin' win. " he spat at you. you looked away. he let go to force you to look at him. " look at me, yo- look at me. i'm above you. i am leagues above you."

✮ his tone is demanding. everything about him is too demanding.

✮ a few adjustments later, and he was rutting inside of you like you were nothing but a fleshlight. hips flexed in an uncomfortable position, he rawed the inside of your cunt.

✮ " say it. say it, say it, say it. say i'm leagues above you. tell me i've won and stop fightin' and i might stop. " he was just getting a power high at this point, eyes bright from pure joy.

✮ the match must've ended by now, did nobody bother to look for you? there probably was no other way out of this, was there?

✮ he stared down at you expectantly, hips still slamming into your own. the way he held your gaze made you want to throw up.

✮ you felt in your gut he wasn't honest. but yet... fighting was getting you literally nowhere.

✮ through your bruised throat and your shifting jaw, you gave in easily, pathetically. agreement slipped out of you like gasping breaths. you should've given up as soon as you were cornered.

✮ yeah, he didn't stop right off the bat.

✮ what did you expect? the guy was busy internally gloating.

✮ bile ate at your weak throat.

✮ the feeling of him fucking you make you feel even more ill than the creaking of your jaw. he didn't look at you anymore, eyes shut, eyebrows furrowed. he didn't bother considering you anything more than a means to an end now. he was the winner. he was the winner.

✮ completely flushed, he looked disgustingly self satisfied.

✮ it didn't take long for him to finally cum, though. as he bucked into you as deep as he could go, he let out a loud laugh, and sucked in sharply, clawing your hips. his entire face was pink with arousal.

✮ you grimaced at him, doing anything to look away. a small whimper choked you alongside the tears.

✮ not but a few moments later, cold metal pressed against your throat. he let out a shivery huff, and grit his teeth.

✮ one more shit eating expression later, " say hi to your team for me, freak! lets hope they don't get all nosy about where you were, huh? HAH! "

✮ he wasted no time after that.

✮ i can neither confirm nor deny if he even stopped like he said after the bullet ripped open ur throat </3

[navree]

I feel like Daemon would've been far more palatable if they had devoted more time to highlighting his (alleged) good traits. The show made him so unnecessarily chaotic in s1, that it's difficult to feel anything other than disgust or annoyance, which is not what I think grrm intended.

I think I mentioned this in another ask last year, but the thing about Daemon is anything that could make him interesting is either something added in post-hoc (like talking about how he wanted Viserys romantically/sexually) or up to Matt's acting choices (like Daemon's tendency to do the headbutt of love when he's feeling affectionate). There's very little of Daemon as he was written, as a character, that isn't just super annoying, and anything that could make him interesting (to me at least) like his courtship with Laena, his complex feelings about gender and romance as it relates to his feelings for Viserys, those rare moments from the show where he's trying to be supportive of Rhaenyra as an adult would be to a child in need, sexual mores as it relates to sexuality and how an attraction to men might be seen as more taboo than incest due to his Targaryen nature and Westerosi society, are barely there or outright not there at all.

I think someone in that writing room really hated Matt Smith, cuz Daemon has been written not only have all the worst qualities of his book counterpart, like his predilection for teen girls and his bad personality and that time he hired goons to cut off a six year old's head and terrorize a toddler and threaten to rape a little girl, but they added stuff too, like killing Vaemond without compunction while he was defenseless, murdering Rhea and getting away with it even tho she never did anything to him, being an ass to his daughters by Laena, and straight up throttling Rhaenyra because he was pitching a fit.

[sleepdeprivedsimp234]

WTTT cryptid/animal hcs cuz I'm bored. Also these might make absolutely ZERO sense whatsoever, but thats fine.

================================

New York:

Ive decided that his cryptid/animal form is a blue jay/cat hybrid. Why? Idk tbh. We as a fandom have decided that he is a cat in human form, and the blue-jay is apparently one of the most common birds in NY (and theyre pretty as hell-). I dont really have a good reason lmao. He has the wings of a blue jay (along with some feathers around his back/neck/torso) and cat ears and tail (tho his tail has feathers on it that spread out to look like a blue jay's tailfeathers.) and claws. Also his eyes are gold and his pupils are slits :3. His claws come out of the base of his fingernails, almost like Wolverine's. His speed and agility is increased quite a bit, he can climb even better, amd hear things that he wouldn't normally be able to hear.

Louisiana:

The little voices in my head have all come together and decided that he's a gator/wolf hybrid. Wolf cuz ✨Rougarou✨ and gator cuz why tf not. He has wolf ears and tail, and gator scales on his back/neck/forearms, as well as a bit of his torso. His eyes are a bright yellow and he has slit pupils like an alligator. His teeth can very from being all sharp, or just his canines. His strength, speed, stamina, swimming and hearing/smell abilities all are increased.

Texas:

I just do what the little voices in my head tell me to. He's a deer/northern mockingbird hybrid (cuz deer are the most widespread large mammal in Texas and his state bird is the northern mockingbird). He has antlers and deer hooves and tail, as well as mockingbird wings. His hearing, speed, and jumping abilities are all increased. He's also very alert and gets scared very easily (easier than usual, and he hates it). He definitely headbutts Alaska and California and others that he's able to (some of the taller states).

Massachusetts:

To be completely honest, I haven't though too much, but I'm thinking maybe a raccoon or a chickadee. Raccoon cuz hehe funny, and chickadee cuz the black-capped chickadee is his state bird. This might be one I have to think about more tbh.

Gov:

He's an eagle, no questions asked. I mean- for God's sake he's the closest thing we have to full personification of America, so yes. He has large eagle wings and bright yellow eyes with slit pupils. His legs from the knee down can either be like eagle's legs/talons, or they can be normal, and he has talons instead of fingernails. He has feathers along his neck/back and a long the sides of his face. His speed and strength are both increased.

Alaska:

Again, the little voices are telling me that he's a polar bear/moose hybrid. Pretty much most of him is par bear, as in he has white fur on most of him, he has the claws, and white bear ears and tail and the tips of his hair are white. The moose part of him is literally just a pair of moose antlers. And his strength is heavily increased (not that that was necessary-). He has 100% headbutted Texas back and sent him for a trip.

California:

He is ✨grizzly bear✨. It just makes sense. He has the bear ears, tail, and claws. And fur along his back, torso, neck, forearms, and legs. Also he's like 10x stronger (again, not necessary :') he's already buff enough) and has definitely thrown Texas a few times.

Nevada:

Big horned sheep. He has ram horns, the legs of a ram, and a tail. And he definitely headbutts people. For funsies.

Colorado:

Basically the same as Nevada. Also he gets the munchies cuz he's high 24/7 and eats literally anything. Chair? Munch. Plastic? Munch. Rock? M u n c h.

Florida:

That's not even a question lmao. He's an alligator. He has the yellow eyes and slit pupils, alligator scales on his arms/back/legs/neck. And he's a lot stronger and can swim faster.

New Jersey:

He is a demon/devil hybrid, no questions asked. He has elf-like ears, devil horns/tail/wings, bright red eyes, sharp teeth, and black patches all over his body.

Rhode Island:

Hehe. He's a raccoon cuz i said so. And nobody is changing my damn mind. He has the floofy tail and ears and claws and teeth. He is angy short raccoon :3

================================

[areyoudoingthis]

I've been trying to figure out why I had such an easy time accepting izzy's rehabilitation in these past two episodes, when I was still so very upset about it after the first three. and I think it was (duh, of course) due to the lovely job ofmd did portraying the journey from where the characters were (a terrible place, most of them) to where they're going (healing, safety, community), even tho it they have only half an hour per episode and a bunch of them to follow around.

they showed us they all essentially went through similar things: the discomfort of not fitting right back in with your loved ones (the headbutt, ed's anger, the crew scrubbing at the nonexistent blood stains, izzy hobbling around), the distress of not knowing who you are or where you fit now (wearing a scratchy sack and a bell, ending up in an armed standoff with your friends, drinking and yelling at an inanimate mythical animal, not feeling like you're captain on your own ship), and then the coming together with your loved ones to engage in some deep, soul cleansing healing (making a leg for izzy, laughing with the mops, inventing new food, crying at the note and accepting the role as ship's figurehead, whittling a small shark as a gift for someone going through a hard time, proposing to your boyfriend, fishing with fang and apologizing honestly and without hesitation, sacrificing something you love for the wellbeing of your crazy, superstitious family and being embraced and respected by them.)

it didn't matter what they'd been through or the ways in which they hurt each other, because they all missed the good old days on stede's revenge, and they all wanted to get to a better, happier place as soon as possible, apologies welcome but not required (the one "required" apology was entirely ridiculous and played off as a joke for that very reason, because you can't demand apologies, you work on fixing your relationships at the pace the people involved can, you can't set timelines and deadlines for it.) and for once instead of standing out like a sore thumb, izzy got swept into the environment of kindness and healing that reigns on stede's ship, and it felt natural.

it also definitely has to do with the fact that they very smartly kept him and ed apart while all of this was happening, proving that they understand that some situations are heavier and dealing with them can't be rushed. if they'd had izzy apologize to ed straight away it wouldn't have worked, just like ed wasn't ready to hear I love you from stede and throwing him overboard didn't fix lucius, I think it wouldn't have helped and it might have made things worse. I do still think ed would benefit from hearing izzy acknowledge that he fucked up, to reinforce what he told himself via mr latch "it's not your fault you're broken. you didn't break you. just trying to do your job, weren't you?", as he's departing from the blackbeard persona and figuring out who he wants to be now that's he's allowed to have softness again. I think it would also be interesting to see how that acknowledgment impacts izzy's own growth away from his obsession with being blackbeard's right hand man, and where they land after that, if anywhere (I'm still not sure that relationship can be rebuilt, but sometimes an apology isn't about that, it's about moving on in a healthier direction.)

[snowshinobi]

Kyojuro survives by digging up the things people are worried about/ashamed of/scared by and talking about them openly. Like. It's so natural for him to tell his brother how proud he is of him no matter what the guy decides to do with his life. Affectionate speeches just roll out of this guy, as does his blunt agreement that Nezuko should be killed. Thank god he changes his tune on this. A change that he reveals that in another direct, emotional speech!

Kyo is consistently open and awkward and unabashed about it. He might not actually realize some of the stuff he just SAYS is stuff other ppl would be way way too embarrassed to blurt out like that. RIP to neurotypicals but Kyo is built different.

I cannot stress enough that Senjuro is a burier. Sen buries the things he's worried about/ashamed of/scared by because that's safe. Cover your weaknesses. Keep your cards close to your chest. This boy walks on eggshells everywhere he goes. He's always waiting for the other shoe to drop. He feels like an imposter in this powerful family, this huge house, this endlessly loving bond with a big brother he can't believe he's lucky enough to have. Sen looks at his life and wonders what he's done to deserve it. He can't make the math add up. That terrifies him. So he puts his head down and he works as hard as he can to earn the love and reputation and career he's on course to receive.

In Senjuro's mind, he's always playing catch-up. He can't afford to have one more thing wrong with him. So every point of further weakness must be discarded. Cut it off from himself and shove it in the dirt.

That's what makes Kyo such an excellent friend for Sen. Yeah they're birth siblings, but that doesn't guarantee they'll get along. Their personalities happen to contrast just right. Kyojuro refuses to let Sen bury his guilt and shame. Kyojuro brushes the dirt aside and says "oh, this is what you thought you had to hide? There's nothing wrong with this at all. It's part of you. I love you. And anyone worth your time and care will see and love all of you too."

Tanjiro's open compassion for the demons he slays puts him, in my mind, close to Kyo on the burier-digger scale. Tanjiro is a lot more aware of social conventions, tho; he mirrors Kyojuro's shouting and lack of eye contact in their first encounter on the Mugen train. But yeah, Tanjiro will say the scary/stressful/embarrassing thing if he knows the comfort it will bring outweighs the awkwardness of bending social norms:

"If anyone speaks badly about you," Tanjiro promises Senjuro,"I'll headbutt them." This is right after Tanjiro headbutted Sen and Kyo's dad bc he spoke badly of Kyojuro. Wildly inappropriate things to do and say, but worth it to Tanjiro (and I agree with him). Senjuro is stunned. All he can say is "you shouldn't do that."

Tanjiro is the friend Senjuro needed after Kyojuro died. It would've been even better to let Sen have both of them, but Tanjiro alone will do. He'll care for Senjuro in a way Senjuro cannot care for himself. Tanjiro will brush aside the dirt and process what he sees. He'll wait for the right time to bring it up. And then he'll tell Sen "hey, I get why this scares you. It scares me too. I love you, and I'm not going anywhere."

Big Hugs!

So the person who requested the cooking thing, I'm sorry but that is kicking my ass rn, it'll be up soon but one of the characters I chose for it is really tripping me up rn

But! Here's the list of characters I think are physically affectionate! Why? Because I'm a cuddly little guy and I like to think of other cuddly little guys.

Characters: Bennett, Diluc, Diona, Gorou, Heizou, Klee, Qiqi, Razor, Thoma, and Venti!

Warnings: Physical touch/contact, playful violence, mentions of kinks(Heizou's part)

Not edited! Sorry

Diluc probably has the longest part, I'm sorry, he's the love of my life.

You're joking if you don't think Bennett greets people with a hug!

Bennett-

Bennett is just... Like that. Y'know? He thinks it's the best way to greet someone you know! And it's not only people he knows very well. If you know Bennett, you're going to be hugged!

I think he also would cuddle in to sleep at night on adventures. If his team would allow it, of course! It's just, the way he feels safest. And if you try to escape in the morning, Bennett makes the saddest little noise, but doesn't hold onto you. He's just a cuddly little fella.

I'm a little hesitant to write romance stuff for the kids in this age range, just because it's a little weird to try and imagine them in that way? But I know that there are definitely kids his age who are like "Bennett <3" so, I will? No one be creepy about this tho, I'll find you.

Bennett seems like the kind to always hold his partner's hand. Like all the time. It makes him feel safe :)

He also slings an arm around their shoulder sometimes. Oh, and tickle fights are frequent. He is immensely ticklish, and he finds it fun!

Diluc-

I have very strong opinions on Diluc. One of the hills I will die on is that fact the Diluc ABSOLUTELY play fights with his friends. Not that he has many.

Diluc is the kind to be walking next to you, decide he's bored, and shove you to the side without saying a word. You'd better shove him back! The fight will go on for as long as possible.

If you're a similar size to him, just straight up wrestling is common. Anyone who grew up with siblings knows why. It's the easiest way to entertain yourselves! But if you're smaller than him, he's not likely to try and wrestle with you. Just like... You're too small, what if he actually hurt you? But if you come at him, that all goes out the window.

Oh, and if you're short? Hello new armrest. On your shoulder, or if you're tiny like I am, on your head is Diluc's favorite place to lay his arms.

Yup, it's affectionate headbutting time. If you're not quite tall enough for him to comfortably headbutt your chest, then it's right in the side of the face.

If you're taller than him(first of all, what the fuck, shrink) Diluc can, and will, headbutt you.

Of course none of this happens in public. The public can never know how genuinely playful Diluc can be. He would rather die than let everyone know.

If you're dating? Cuddlebug. Please let him hold you. Especially if you're considerably smaller than him. Just letting him hold you close, trusting him enough to let him hold you close? It means the world to Diluc.

In his sleep, he reaches out for you, and if he grabs you, you'll never escape. Strong lad wants his partner safely in his arms.

If you have long, thick, hair like this man does, you know that sometimes... It's just too much work to brush it out properly.

Please, please, please brush this man's hair for him. He'll melt. Just absolutely melt.

Oh also, if you're short, or really tall, Diluc will just scoop you up. Just grab you. No reason, just to grab you.

Babey!!! No romance, she's babey!!!!! I'll hurt you if you make this weird!!!!!

Diona-

Diona might not admit it, but a good scratch behind the ears is sometimes just what she needs.

She's proud, but also cat, so...

Your desk? Her seat. Your stack of important paperwork? Her pillow.

Will sit on your lap and watch you do work. Or that's what you think she's doing, until suddenly her head lulls back, and her back hits your torso because she's fallen asleep.

Any dangle-y bits on your outfit are her favorite. She's not likely to bat at them, just grab and hold.

Gorou-

Now, Gorou also occasionally craves some good scratchies. But he's an adult(I think???), and that's very unprofessional. So don't touch his ears or his tail!

Generally, don't touch someone without permission but like-

Anyway, Gorou gives you a little punch on the shoulder when he greets you, and if you're really close with him, he gives you a hug! One of those really aggressive ones with the loud pats on the back.

Gorou always stands close enough that your shoulders are touching. He just enjoys being close to people.

If you're dating, you have free reign to play with his ears and tail. Even in front of people! He loves you that much.

In fact, please rub his ears, you are very good at that, and it is very pleasant.

Nuzzles. Gorous nuzzles you all the time. He just likes doing it. He can't explain it really. He nuzzles your neck, and you can hear his tail going crazy. The simplest joy Gorou can find in life.

Not actually very cuddly in his sleep, usually, but when he's tired? You couldn't peel him off if you tried. Evenings and mornings are a little more difficult, because you have to go about all your routines with a clingy Gorou wrapped around you.

Heizou-

It may surprise you, but I think this guy is a massive creep. I don't like him. But, I have seen his fans, they scare me, and endear me at the same time. So this is for you guys.

Seriously tho, this guy freaks me out. I was planning on using him, but even I can't look past what he's said.

Walking with friends? Heizou has his arm around their shoulders the whole time. It honestly looks like he's leading you somewhere, even when you're the one leading him.

Playful shoves, like Diluc. But he's smaller, and slightly more feral, so expect things to get really out of hand really quickly.

Knows all of your ticklish spots. Does he use that to his advantage? Sometimes. He's not ticklish himself, though.

If you're dating, he'll offer an arm to you when you walk anywhere. If you don't want to hold his arm, hold his hand. Heizou really likes to be held onto.

The leash he wears? It's for you <3

But no, seriously, you can hold that rope in public. In fact, you're the only one who's allowed to. Heizou hides the fact that it's straight up a leash most of the time. If you want, it can stay partially around his arm if you don't want to look like one of those weird domination kink couples. If you do, Heizou's fine with that.

If he's doing some sort of paperwork or other thing that requires he sit, Heizou wants you there too.

He's also really cuddly when he's tired. But he generally likes to be touched at all times. Do that thing where you hang onto his arm/chest? Heizou might actually swoon. Especially if it's at some sort of gathering or social event.

"We can sit at my desk, or I can grab a clipboard and come sit with you here. Which do you choose?"

Ah, the illusion of choice. Either way you end up on his lap.

Klee-

Klee! Loves! Hugs!

Klee greets her favorite people with a big smile and hug. When someone takes her somewhere, she holds their hand and drags them around excitedly. And her friends know she loves to nap on them.

Ruffle her hair, it makes her feel like she's doing good.

Qiqi-

Qiqi may prefer not to be warm, but Qiqi likes to be held. Qiqi will sit on your lap and watch you do whatever it is you're doing. Qiqi is happy to sit like this for far longer than you are.

Qiqi also likes to ride on your shoulders. She spreads her arms out and pretends to be a bird.

Razor-

"Hey, Razor! How have yo-"

And then he jumped on top of you without a second thought.

Razor knows... Not very much about human body language. But when the wolves are happy to see each other, the jump on each other. Razor is just showing that he's happy to see you!

Razor also sniffs things. He remembers your scent, and if you change something about it with perfume or lotion... Well he might not be pleased by that. He'll make his displeasure known with the few words he knows, and by rubbing all over you.

Razor also play fights with anyone he wants to play with. He has a certain level of maturity about him, but he's still a kid who likes to play around. Please play with Razor. It makes him easier to work with around bedtime.

If you're... Dating him... Well you'll never get him off of you.

Teach him to hold hands? Welp, learn to live your life with one hand, or face The Eyes™. He will probably want to hang onto your arm all the time. Let him!!! You monster!!!!

Sleeps on you. Not next to you. On top of you. But, he's very warm, at least?

The guy!!!!! Thoma loves to be loved. Hugs for close friends, holding hands with close friends. Close friends can sit on his lap for all he cares. Just! Touch! Him!

Thoma-

Except, don't tickle him. First of all, he's ticklish in all the wrong places, places that close friends probably shouldn't have their hands anywhere near anyway. Second of all, he's very ticklish, lightly brush a spot and he's d e a d.

Thoma likes to be given headpats.

If you brush dust off him, he smiles. If you poke him in the side, he smiles! You can't go wrong!!!!

If you're dating? Hand holding, hold his arm, sit in his lap all the time. Never sit anywhere else ever again. Please?

I am begging you, greet him by walking up behind him and wrapping your arms around his waist. Hold him there and feel all the tension release from his body and he leans back into your touch.

Run your fingers through his hair, Thoma melts every time. And while you're at it, kiss him on the top of his head.

Sleeping next to him? No, you wake up on top of him. Every night, without fail, he manages to pull you there. You're his new weighted blanket.

Slings an arm around your neck and makes you dance along with him! Venti is very fun to be around.

Venti-

Walk shoulder-to-shoulder with him! He may even place a hand on the small of your back to guide you.

Doesn't play fight or shove, but tickles. So. Much. Tickling.

If you're dating, Venti wants to be in your lap all day long.

Carry him on your shoulders if you can! And of course, get up early and do his hair for him. Venti will sniffle all morning about how sweet you are. He may even write another few songs about you!

Sleeping next to Venti, expect his face in your chest all night. That's the best place to sleep, after all. Oh! And he likes to lay his head on your lap, too!

[jamjuice04]

Did anyone ask for TFP Wheeljack tk hcs? No? Too bad, here they are!

Ler:

-Downright evil, but the playful kind

-Jackie is down to roughhouse with his buddies at any time, and that includes tickling

-He thinks it’s funny he can overpower bots like Bulkhead without even hurting ‘em

-If there is a tickle fight going on he will join in immediately but there’s a 50/50 chance on if he’ll help his friends or gang up on them

-Generally his style of wrecking people is half tickling half wrestling, so it tends to get pretty rough

-He will absolutely put someone in a chokehold and then attack their sides so that it’s harder to fight him off and easier for him to hold on

-Will resort to all kinds of tricks to trap someone or to get away

-He usually doesn’t get too carried away because he just wants it to be fun for both parties, but that does not mean he isn’t mean as hell

-His favorite victims are either a) his buddies that he can yank around playfully or b) people who are fun to tease like Ratchet

-Pet names

-He is a master at teasing. He will point out if his lee is blushing or flustered, if they make a funny noise, or if he’s found a bad spot or if they like it

-Loves making a game out of it. Sometimes that means chasing people down, or seeing how loud he can make them shriek

-He’ll also do “experiments” where he pretends to very seriously be doing it for science and keeps shooting the lee shit eating grins every 2 seconds

-He’ll tickle people under the chin just for the teasy aspect

-With someone like Miko, he tries to be a lot more gentle. He’s still mean tho, seeing as he can overpower her with one hand

-He’ll walk by someone and casually poke them, and then act innocent when they jump or yelp

-Super affectionate guy. He’s fond of ticklish bear hugs, nuzzling, anything playful

-He will bite. He thinks it’s funny because it makes most people scream

-He tickles Bulkhead and Miko most of the time, but he’s gotten just about everyone on Team Prime. The only one he hasn’t attacked yet is Optimus. He also likes poking Ratchet cuz it makes him mad

-Jackie just might be the most notorious tickle monster on the team

Lee:

-He has a very loud, boisterous laugh

-Especially if there’s some play fighting involves, he enjoys being tickled quite a bit

-Kinda sees it as an endurance challenge or something

-He will wrestle whoever’s tickling him. Most of the time he won’t even try to get away, he’ll just fight

-Will headbutt ler

-He’s not really ashamed of being ticklish. He’s badass and he knows it

-But he will get flustered if someone starts pointing out just how ticklish he is

-Jackie bucks like a horse. He will not stay still

-If he even gets a little bit of the upper hand he will turn the tables

-In fact he’s stubborn enough to tickle whoever’s attacking him while laughing his head off

-His palms are a little ticklish, but really only enough to make him shiver

-His sides/ribs are stupid ticklish. His laughter gets a bit more frantic there, and he’ll really start to struggle

-He does try to keep from laughing, but usually gets too caught up in goofing around to hold it back

-His underarms are moderately ticklish, as are the backs of his knees

-He likes affectionate gestures like ticklish kisses or nibbles or raspberries but will never admit it. He also can’t take them

-He’ll call it out if he’s had enough. He can be pretty stubborn, but he knows his limits

-Doesn’t tire easily, depending on how bad he’s being gotten. If anything it winds him up so he can go for another round of revenge after

-Prefers rough tickles. They’re just fun to him, and he can fight back easier (or at least feel like it)

-Soft tickles fluster him more because they make him giggly and melt, depending on who and where he’s being tickled. He’s got a tough reputation to uphold

-Jackie has varied views on teasing. If whoever’s teasing him is joking and playfully insulting him he will throw as many insults he can think of back. If he’s being scolded, his response is basically “I do what I want”. If it’s softer or more complimentary, he has no idea what to do with that. So he usually just falls back on talking back that gets him into even more trouble

-He will always get revenge. Heck, he’ll even get revenge for his other Wrecker buddies. It’s usually spontaneous and in the moment, though. He doesn’t have the patience to wait it out

-Bulkhead has gotten him the most out of everyone, and Miko’s gotten him a few times too. As for the other Autobots, they’ve really only gotten a chance to attack during the rare tickle fights in the base. Ratchet has absolutely wrecked his ass for doing something dumb though. Multiple times

[hibiscuslynx]

sorry for aiming my hybridification beam at personified states i wont do it again i will

colorado - rocky mountain bighorn sheep nevada - desert bighorn sheep texas - texas longhorn california - california grizzly bear new york - squirrel  alaska - polar bear

explanations below the cut !

sooo many fucking thoughts abt this au but i’ll preface with: to figure out what animals i either went with state’s state animal/mammal, an animal that matched their vibes, or an animal that i just think would be cool w them

i also don’t have alll the states down yet but im workin on it !

for colorado and nevada i just looked at their state animals and was like ohh yeah this is good and then i drew em together . i think they’re friends and they’ve had friendly headbutt sessions, probably while one was high and the other drunk 

texas was an obvious choice tbh. also since his horns are rlly fucking big, he gets stuck on doorways frequently lmao loser (gov took that into account when he had the statehouse built tho). also florida tried to do pull-ups w his horns once and got flung into a wall

i know new york squirrel might be a little !? but i didn’t want to make him a beaver (sorry) and the only other thought i had was a rat (i wasnt doing that either) but a friend suggested squirrel so. squirrel :] sometimes a state will fall asleep on his tail and he’s always pissed abt it but he never wakes them up. unless its like new jersey or mass in which case he punches them in the face

was tempted to go w moose for alaska because goddamn those antlers would’ve been sick but… polar bear… :] also bc alaska/california polar bear/grizzly bear duo ,, it fits my little best friends hc/au(??) !! alaska’s ears r hidden under his hat because he’s just really really attached to the hat

california’s just a california grizzly bear (state animal) ! he pulls back his beanie just far enough so his ears can just be out comfortably, also he can def pack a punch (texas can attest to that)

[xamaxenta]

the note I added to a plot document for arc 6, featuring feral bastard sabo who cannot articulate his feels and slightly suicidal marco:

Interlude chapter during the period where they’re figuring shit out: Sabo, extremely pissed at Marco about Marco’s self-sacrificial and self-martyring shit, makes a comment about how “normally when I have a problem as stubborn as you, I’m able to just beat it’s face in until it stops moving but I don’t even get that satisfaction with you!” “You could if you weren’t a coward.” which results in a fight where an enraged Sabo bashes Marco’s skull in with a pipe. Stunned and terrified of himself, Sabo watches Marco’s head burst into flames before he gets up and “feel better now?” “No, you fucking asshole, I feel worse actually!” and they end up hugging it out. Ace, watching from the window, just shakes his head. Followed up by all three cuddling sabo in the middle in bed and Marco apologizing for making Sabo do that, and sabo trying to express that marco didn’t make him do shit. It goes nowhere until ace tells them to just shut up they’ll sort it out in the morning. Might result in a second fight where sabo shoots marco through the eye (because I love the look of marco’s flaming eye) (instead of blood and viscera, it’s just flames and feathers, marco’s awakened fruit refusing to submit to death, marco staggered back briefly by the impact then leaning forward again with his burning eye and the back of his head erupting in flames and feathers. Marco blinks away the fire). Sabo breaks down, sobbing about Marco being too forgiving, how he shouldn’t tolerate this kind of treatment from someone he loves, etc. Marco hugs him through it and tells sabo it’s okay and to talk to ace. Later, ace explains that sabo loving marco too doesn’t diminish what they have together (and, in fact, probably just expands it because why wouldn’t they share everything anyway? Marco’s down for it, even if they have to beat some sense into him first about giving up his place for sabo instead of just letting sabo in the same way he’s let ace in)

This makes me WUWUEUE so hard like youre right this deranged feral sabo is thee best and i really cant wait to see how you will write him bc this is super emotional and everyone’s realllyyy keyed up

I loooove how Sabo would react like hair trigger almost and instantly regret what he’s done, feel sick to his stomach as Marco revives, easily imagining him with a sickly complexion and a pinched expression like why would you fucking say shit like that

And Sabo gets to be in the middle!!! To feel Ace and Marco like , talk about the most complicated emotional sandwich, i enjoy the concept of Marco and sabo facing each other and bickering in circles and Ace headbutts Sabo from behind like fucks sake shut the fuck up both of you please and they do bc Ace needs rest 🥹

Sabo for that second fight essentially unwillingly? Using marco as an emotional punching bag is SO GOURMET as is the always fantastic flaming eye aesthetic Marco often gets depicted with its sexy even tho the content and reason for this flaming eye isnt so sexy hah

And that last bit where where

Giving up his space place by Aces side so Sabo can take it is legit thee delicacy that is MAS its not about Marco letting Sabo take his place its about letting him in its not about favourites or replacements or replacing people Ace cares about or people Sabo or Marco care about its about opening up the love they share aaaa AA

[silverstream2]

More Baul and Modeus headcanons

-They're both pretty physically affectionate with one another, especially for demons. Partly due to Sparda’s influence (*insert "cuddle bug" pun here*), and partly because of how they were raised. They were meant to fight as a pair, equals but also opposites. Sometimes they bicker and fight, or even go their own ways, but its easy for them to click once they get back together. Unless something major happens, some major disagreement, like what happened with who gets Sparda's power, and all that.

Might just headcanon them being physically affectionate as a normal demon thing, for them? At least for their type of demon, anyway. It's about scent marking and sharing body warmth, that kind of thing. Which probably translates to "cuddle your tiny, squishy human friend and wrap them in your coat to keep them Warm" whenever it gets cold out, especially if the human is a child. Baul is probably the one most likely to do this, tbh- Modeus probably knows more about Personal Space by now, but Baul is just like. Running more on instincts? "Must keep Friend Warm, must protect Friend from harm, must make sure Friend smells like me/my group". "Must protect the younger members of the group, must keep them Warm, must make sure they are Fed and Safe". Constantly carries around snacks and hand sanitizer (the harsh smell makes his nose burn, but keeping the human young clean is Important) and tissues, especially during the colder seasons.

That, and Baul's main reference to "what level of physical affection is acceptable" is way out of date, and also based on humans that were his comrades in arms- which tends to be a high stress thing, where you're more okay with physical affection than you might otherwise be, because its comforting. Like, Baul still does the whole "affectionate headbutt" thing that soldiers do, largely because you can't really hug someone while they're wearing armor and a helmet, but you CAN knock your helmets together to show affection. Which is sweet, but also not really a thing normal humans do in society anymore (with a few exceptions).

-I doubt Dante would be down for cuddling with the guy that tried to kill him and take his soul, but maybe??? Idk. Maybe after they beat the shit out of one another a couple of times, and Baul helps with the whole Sid thing, and maybe the whole Order thing, too, Idk. I headcanon that Dante has his own "cuddle bug" demon instincts, just not with Modeus and Baul. Definitely with Nero, tho, and Abbie and Trish.

-The lads are hairy, in their human forms. Their demon forms are covered in fur, it looks like, in canon (or at least as canon as the DMC anime can be considered), so I'm gonna headcanon that whatever part of the Underworld they're from is probably cold, or has cold seasons. This also means they've got thick body hair, in their humans forms. I'm playing with the idea of them growing winter coats, tbh, and that maybe translating over into them growing more hair/body and facial hair when it gets cold? Like. Modeus' hair gets so long and thick he just straight up braids it and uses it as a scarf (Baul: "Somebody is going to strangle you with that one day, brother, and I am going to laugh when that happens."), and Baul's hair grows out so much it looks like a lion's mane (Modeus: "You look like a dandelion."). Baul would probably grow facial hair, Modeus I don't think could stand it. Might change that last bit later on, Idk.

It might make more sense for Baul to be adapted to a winter environment, and Modeus to be adapted for a forest one? Just because Baul has white fur and hair and Modeus has brown hair and fur. Maybe wherever they were born/lived in the Underworld was between an ice plane and a demonic jungle (like the kind we see Echidna create/live in)? Might go some ways to explaining why a pair of twins would have such different fur coloring.

They also like to cuddle and stay indoors, preferably wrapped in a blanket or in bed, or at least in warm clothing, when it gets cold out. All their demon instincts tell them to stay somewhere safe in their territory/den, warm, with as much food as they can gather.

Also because they're both inhuman, and old as balls, so their ideas of what's socially acceptable for public displays of affection, especially for men, are kinda skewed and/or out of date. Modeus is probably more versed in it than Baul is, just because Modeus has been in the Human Realm more/longer than Baul has, but tbh, I'm still not sure how much either of them would care about following society's rules. Toxic masculinity is bullshit, and all that.

-(For the AU where they both live past Episode 10 of the anime) They both kinda adopt/bond with Patty, in their own ways. Modeus we already saw in the anime, but Baul I think would be fond of her, too. "She's all vinegar. And frills. I like her. Tough little kid."

Baul's still always nervous around kids, especially little kids. They're just so small! And fragile! And he doesn't really know what to do with them. He's gotten better at it, to be fair, after 2,000 years, especially with Modeus' and Dante's help, but they still make him nervous. He's always worried he'll make a mistake around them and hurt them, or scare them, or make them cry. (That and demon parents- those that don't just abandon or eat their young- tend to be ferociously protective of their young, so Baul's always halfway expecting that from human parents.)

With Patty, all of that kinda translates into Baul awkwardly trying to protect her- which mostly means she has him wrapped around her finger. Dante and Modeus calling her out on it and giving Baul advice helps her not go mad with power.

Tbh, I think Baul would help Sid with summoning Abigail, if Sid threatened Patty or Nina (Patty's mom) first. It'd help that Baul also is like, 90% confident that Dante could defeat Abigail, or Sid, if Sid absorbed Abigail's powers. Because if Dante could defeat Mundus, could make himself and even his brother Modeus look like weaklings, then something like Abigail, and especially someone as weak as SID, wouldn't be a problem for him.

-Baul's love language is acts of service and physical affection. For physical affection, this mostly manifests in gentle, loving headbutts, hugs (he's a big guy, so he'll just pick you up or hunch himself over you, engulfing you in his arms and squeezing you in a hug), cuddling (platonic or otherwise), head pats or combing his fingers through your hair (please do likewise to him, he loves that shit- its a sort of demon preening thing), and hand holding. Also sparring and helping you stretch. Even if he's stronger than you, he's still proud of you for training and trying to improve. Especially if you do it scared. (That's one of the things he likes about Abbie- she's terrified of demons, including him, and she still stands up to him/them and fights anyway. Its like a sort of verbal Defeat Means Friendship kind of thing.)

Acts of service can be basic stuff, doing chores or running errands for you, but mostly it manifests as him offering to kill demons/people for you. Like, that person made you cry? They were abusive assholes to you? Would you like them maimed or dead? No? How about biting? Is he allowed to bite them for you? Would that make you feel better? What do you need?

(This also means that Baul kinda wants to punch Vergil, once they get to the whole Qliphoth thing, because Vergil makes/made his friend Abbie sad. Baul and Modeus both want to slap Vergil for what he did to Temen-ni-gru, since putting that seal in place cost Gwen her life and had such a negative effect on Sparda- that was the first time they'd seen him cry and be depressed- not to mention what it cost humanity, and how hard the humans had to work to get their world to the point it is now. But that's a more distant thing- the difference between seeing an alive friend cry over a broken heart, and somebody stomping on your old friend's grave.)

He's not very good at like. Emotional stuff. Like TALKING about his emotions or offering comforting words. Even using sign language, he still fumbles. Mostly he just tries to hug you better. But he does try. Modeus is better at comforting words, so Baul will go ask him for advice, and try and learn how to be better at it.

Like. He tends to get pretty emotionally attached/devoted to people... not exactly easily, but fairly quickly.

-I'm not sure if Baul and Abbie could be friends, tbh. It depends on how much Baul is willing to let go of his whole "kill Dante to get Sparda's power" thing. If Baul did let it go, tho, then I could see them being friends after the whole thing with Patty and Sid. Modeus and Baul probably spent that whole mission trying to get Patty and Nina out of the burning building and protecting them from demons- and since Baul was needed for the ritual, he probably had more time to interact with Patty, too. Like I said, he'd go along with Sid, but he'd try to make sure Patty was okay, too. Try to keep her calm, reassure her that everything will be alright, all that.

[solomons-poison]

my mc is EVIL. the moment he got pulled into the devildom its was immediate plots on how to one up this oddly handsome kidnapper. admitted he understood he wasnt actually a kidnapper by week 2 but still plays that card when putting a bucket of water on top of lucis cracked door. i think lulus conflicted on him... on one hand luci likes the rebels (mamon...) but on the other hand he Really dosent love him poking him when bored.

also the moment he got assigned to mams to be babysat you better BELIEVE he was trying to sneak off. wouldnt be surprised if my mc wasnt allowed to walk around without one of those toddler leash backpacks. Probably has bitten mams more than once and told mams that he has rabies... probably friends regardless tho mams just as chaotic.

i dont think him and levi really even meet. realistically levis holed up and my MCs not the type to start convos with Kidnappers people who dont start convos, and by time he figures he can chill its wayyy too awkward to try and be buddy buddy. missed connection via social awkwardness. Probably at least nod at eachother in the hallways though.

satan.. ok hes my fave so i want to say dating and bffs forever. being unbias is hard so i wont be <3 both are aloof and outside of causing problems, quiet. so between the terrorizing of luci and being able to sit in the same room four hours doing their own things without speaking and calling it bonding, they get along pretty well. Also my MC was raised with cats so he unintentionally does the slow blinky and headbutts . you know itd kill him. fostering kittens together saying its good looking for the exchange program but "secretly" just wanting to coo over kittens

azzy... it can go one of two ways. theyre either IN LOVE with eachother or REALLY want eachother dead. both are flamboyant. both can and will rock heels. both probably will kill a man in the name of love. makeup nails ect... they all share same interests even if only in passing, any hobby they share. now we know azzy loves himself, but it could wayyy easily be seen as trying to steal eachothers things and getting mad jealous over it. literal catfight. hard to say.

beel.. distant but still closer than levi. my MC isnt really a food person, nor a working out person. HOWEVER he does appreciate someone he can sit quietly next to. Also my mc would love to buy him snacks. always fun to pick up snacks when you rember someone likes that snack. might go on a jog with him once or twice and then 10 mins in act like hes dying just to be carried by the hunk tho.

belphie. ok . look assuming theres a proper redemption for the murder thing. like not just jumping from i hate you to i love you. theyd probably get along... both youngest... both EVIL... and again mc loves a good quiet time with someone. might get annoyed at all his sleeping,,, my mc isnt that energetic no, but still wants to like. do things. theres only so many times you can handle nap dates. also the "im the youngest baby me" rivalry would be something to behold.

i could do dateables too but we will be here All day.

anyways this is all to say in NB he's immediately abandoning the babysitting job to go do whatever he wants. once again luci has to bring out the toddler leash. also hes just an actual demon j with the soul of an angel. fills the role of mechivious non violent demon perfectly hence why no one ever stopped to ask if this dude that fell out of a hole in the middle of a tour is really a demon.

Your MC is a creature of chaos and I highly respect that LOL

Imagining him possibly biting Mammon is so funny, being absolutely feral, and the toddler leash, I love it so much

I think my favorite thing in the original Obey Me was finding out that (if it's true, I never ended up redoing my choices to see a difference), you would gain more intimacy points with Lucifer for choosing rebellious responses, versus obedient or neutral responses?? That was so funny to me. So you mentioning that Luci is conflicted on how to feel about your MC totally tracks. Like he doesn't really want some goody two shoes, but also he has his hands full with his brothers already, does there have to be another troublesome person to deal with?

My MC was also raised with cats and is a cat person, so I totally get the bonding with Satan very well. I love the idea of terrorizing Lucifer together with Satan haha

I love all of these and your reasonings, thank you for sharing ❤️

Pokemon Scarlet Liveblog!!! Part 3

Listen. I had a very good reason to delay this. The best reason even (you know who you are <3)

where were we? oh right, we were lost.

i have no memory of this place

aaaaaa there's a crab following me

battles an artist who can't finish a sentence

!!! GIMMIGHOUL hello my new pal Boxly. It's up on top of this tower, which seems to just be a lookout tower.... I can see Artzon from here, and also Light Pollution. And also a really giant butte? can't wait to go up there! Oh, neat, you can fly to the watchtowers once you've been to them.

oooh i see where the titan klawf is now, hello down there

small blue...that's not a rookidee. What are you? What are you??? Get back here! Nymble? bug i think...cricket but it almost looks like a like. fidget spinner. oh goddammit poison point, killed it.

Found another, finally, while wandering. If they wanted me to accomplish anything they shouldn't have given me an open worl. Anyway I still think Nymble looks like a fidget spinner folded up so her name is Fidget. !!! Look, a Growlithe! get over here Fai Do!

i wonder what's with these ruined buildings? don't like how they seem to be where i find Drowzee.

AAAA WHAT'S THAT PINK THING Tinkatink? You're gonna be Pebbles.

I think the signs pointing to Artazon are starting to get desperate about my adamant exploration. They keep yelling at me like I'm not deliberately going the opposite direction of what they say.

New Headcanon: enough kids got hopelessly lost in these cliffs that they just put signs goddamn everywhere.

lmao the signs like "okay if you're down here you MUST be lost"

AAAAA CRAB LANDED ON ME

sorta hate that i can only jump while riding koraidon

"Caught 63 battled 81" damn, my dex is at a phenomenal start

well now. I have 45 minutes until i need to get ready for work, and I'm right about at the crabby paddy. jfc these fuckin Klawf have this like....creepyass moan of an activation noise, they're at the intersection of no thoughts head empty and nightmare fuel.

now wait i tick i SAW the big klawf on this wall earlier, where is ti? ....oooh, i found him. exploring, tho--

well, that was easy. I could go down the long way....but it's more IC for Fani to just leap off the cliff after it. Whee!

Awww Arven uses a Shellder! And I am massively overleveled.

Heyyyy, Teach is evolving! Clodsire??? Oh, it's fully evolved now, I can grab something else from my box.

Also, looking for more Herba Mistica! In a caaave. Oh, it's just more cutscene. This one's sweet. That's the flavor associated with speed...

ARVEN IS GONNA FEED ME. He makes kung fu movie noises while he cooks, what the fuck. Aaaaa this is so cute.

Arven why do you hate koraidon

oh....i don't get to eat sandwich. gotta feed it to Koraidon... just goes hungry ig

aww Arven sharing OH I GET TO DASH NOW NEAT

and now it is later! I am still lost! I think i jumped off one too many cliffs,,,,,,

let's just. fly back to the watchtower.

for those wondering: no, my sense of where i am is also this bad in reality i just almost never leave the neighborhood i've lived in my entire life

ohhh this cliff looks out on a team star base....damn they're big

back on track! keep forgetting to heal up,,,

finished an accidental battle and immediately slid down a cliff.... Fani is battered and bruised.

Finally on the Artazon outskirts! And I found...twin mice? Tandemaus. How....do you name a Pokemon that is two Pokemon??? fuck it. You're Beep & Boop now.

Okay I think I'm done dicking around, time to actually enter town. NOPE there's more Pokemon to catch here! Tish the Shuppet, Nimbus the Drifloon, and FINALLY found a Squawkabilly to name Elvis.

Okay NOW i'm in town, oh look the same food shops I found in Mesagoza.

Man I get nothing for reaching the center of the maze??? you'd think there'd be a little prize, like a person saying congrats and giving me a pokeball or something.

"what a nice breeze" this little girl says, in the middle of a thunderstorm....

wait does Koraidon already have surfing capabilities, just in case i fall in some water?

love this giantass playground, would be better with interactible elements!

man i miss unique gym designs why do they all need to look the same on the outside...anyway, time to beat up Hubert von Vestra. Can't believe they made his shiny colors green. Well. After I rip up his garden or whatever.

....no time limit or anything, this will be a cakewalk. oh, this one flees- oh, it wants to FIGHT. bitch I have a Shroodle. damn the maze one isn't even at the center and three more were right at start, what a wimpy test.

just noticed there's a Surrendering Sunflora on top of the Pokemon Center....

OH MY GOD WHAT A FUCKING EDGELORD oh jesus fuck that smile is terrifying don't do that. especially while soggy.

What is that at his hip anyway is that a garden hoseoh Nebula you right this music is incredible

Brassius is so fucking intense. Fani is a little....scared.
