Easedropping

Nick opened the door to the train's empty cabin and settled himself into the seat. He had a brief moment where he allowed himself to hope that he'd get the cabin to himself for the journey, but one look out the window at the packed platform dispelled that notion as soon as it appeared.

The mag-lift train would set off shortly and after an evening's travel would be on the opposite side of the planet along with thousands of others.

The cabin could comfortably house four passengers, but that was for four of the alien passengers, the big ones. With Nick being a human, he'd actually have ample room for himself as humans were not the largest species out here. The man could have stretched out of the padded seat that he was in and never touched the walls.

With a wince, he removed one of translators from his ear and placed it onto the table in front of himself. Nick's ear was aching, he must have put it in at a weird angle or something. Leaving it out would rest his lobe and he'd just put it back in as and when.

That's when the cabin door slid open to reveal a black and white furred taurian with a thick gold ring through the end of her muzzle, her horns barely fit in the doorway.

"Ey! We got three spaces in 'ere!" The bull-like taurian called back down the corridor outside the cabin.

"Hey can we- oh, you ain't going to understand me." The taurian started before trailing off while glancing at the unused translator on the table. Nick could understand her however as his second translator in his other ear was working perfectly fine, albeit hidden from her view. The taurian was joined by her compatriots moments later.

A black furred felinoid and a similarly black furred ursidain's face appeared on either side of the taurian's shoulders, all of them curious as to their friend's find.

"Jackpot!" Bellowed the ursidain gleefully and shoved past the hesitating taurian, who was sent stumbling into the cabin. The giant she-bear sat heavily on the same bench as Nick causing him to be bodily lifted off the cushion briefly as the ursidain displaced. He landed and found himself sliding towards the Ursidain as she warped the bench with her far greater mass. When he touched against the side of her thigh, it gave easily, her black fur rolling against him. It was warm to the touch and was not missed by her either. Thankfully, she didn't make the wrong assumption and pointedly ignored him.

Re-seating himself, Nick watched as the Felinoid with pitch black fur that rippled with a glossy sheen, settled herself opposite the human with the table between them and finally, the taurian, with a shrug, settled into the remaining seat before closing the door behind her.

"I hope you don't mind us sharing." The felinoid mentioned lightly, but the ursidain broke in with a chuckle.

"Ah, he can't understand ya, even some of your words are even out of his hearing range without that thing in." The bear-like alien explained to the cat-like alien.

Nick did consider correcting them, but instead simply remained quiet. If they asked him a direct question, he'd respond. Otherwise, he'd settle himself into a long session of people watching while pretending to look out the window. He didn't miss the fact that the felinoid had 'accidently' started resting her foot against his leg after crossing her legs.

"Aw look at him. By The Feast, I love humans." Rumbled the ursidain's voice from above and to his side.

"Got to admit, there's something about them I like too." Replied the taurian, nodding in Nick's peripheral vision.

The felinoid made an 'mmm' noise as she continued to stare at the human. Nick tried to avoid letting on he could see out of the corner of his eye how she was completely focused on him. He kept his face completely still.

"It's how small they are for me. Actually, a bunch of folk I know of feel the same. Humans just look cute and small. They need protecting!" Claimed the black mountain to his left, she was quite animated, her thick arms, as wide as Nick's torso swept through the air with ease as she spoke.

"Naah! They're sexy!" Countered the taurian as a retort. "Look at him! Dressed all provocatively. No horns and no headband to cover it?! Goddess." He felt another set of eyes staring at him now.

Nick was almost certain the side of his head was about to start smoking under the intensity of their combined focus.

"And! They're really weird." Nick briefly frowned at the taurian's claim, but smoothed his features with, quite frankly, incredible skill, he if did say so himself. "They're all the opposite way round. Their males act like females! And, and! I heard! They like sex and what we look like, just as strongly as we feel it." Claimed the bull excitedly.

Ah, Nick understood now. Taurians had a gender-norm flip when compared to humans. The males and females were satisfied with their stereotypical roles but found humans to be quite fascinating as a human of their opposite gender, suddenly, (stereotypically) enjoyed the same things they did. The males had a maze of protocols and rules surrounding them, whereas the females had the libido of a high school jock.

It had been described by a fellow human who had spent time in taurian space that the female taurians often acted like, quote, 'lads lads lads' and were quite oblivious to what was 'proper' when interacting with the males of their race as the males were far more 'prim and proper'.

"Mm, I honestly don't mind. Apparently, humans like us anyway. Did you know they worshipped us?" The felinoid stated, finally breaking off her stare to glance at the other two occupants of the cabin.

"What?!" "Rubbish!" Came the two replies.

"Oh it's quite true. Even in their ancient times, they had entire murals built to give homage to our visage." Said the Panther-esk feline, as she brushed the curve of her claws against her fur and inspected them closely.

"Even to the point of its destruction, on Sol-3 they kept and loved feral versions of ourself right up until the end" Cats?! This one believed that cats counted as worship towards the felinoid race? Well it come cases... honestly... he could see how they could take the wrong message away.

Nick didn't enjoy hearing about Earth, it was still a bit raw for him, but he couldn't ask them to stop now. But he needn't have worried, the panther continued, pressing on.

"What I find fun, is that most humans believe most felinoids they meet are female."

Nick resisted the urge to raise his eyebrows. It was true, he'd never seen a male felinoid before, the ship full of them that turned up at his station was entirely female... right?

"They don't realise that our genders are just very similar to one another. A surprise for a human to learn if they hadn't asked beforehand!" The panther chuckled. "Apparently the adventurous ones can be quite shocked."

"Haha, yeah like they... wait.. you're female right?" Asked the ursidain.

"No, I'm male? By the seven truths; you're joking right?"

The pregnant silence was tortuous as Nick resist the urge to burst out laughing. He had to bite his tongue hard enough until he was sure it would bleed.

"My god you're as bad as they are!" Accused the felinoid with an outstretched finger.

The cabin fell into silence again. After a few minutes, the panther spoke once more.

"I'd let this one believe whatever he wanted. I've spent the last ten minutes trying to press my leg against his so I can feel his warmth..." She, Nick correct himself, He was speaking to the window now, but the felinoid was still addressing his companions.

"If he'd let me curl up next to him, I'd do whatever it took. Tucking and all."

The taurian chuckled.

"Some of them are quite open. We're going to be all sleeping in here... maybe you can try and say you're freezing? Ham it up, do a bit of a shiver?" The scheming black and white alien suggested, hatching a scheme.

The panther alien scratched at his chin as he considered.

"As long as I'm my demure self, he might be for it."

"I'll just say we all spoon together! I wanna' hug him and squeeze 'im." Declared the black bear. "I'll just make out we're all cold!"

The taurian looked frustrated.

"Two points. One, he'll be lost to your tits and two, what about me?! I want a turn! I'm fine not spooning, that's not my thing, but it means I'm left out!" She crossed her arms over her muscled chest and glared at the door in a huff. With a glance, Nick felt she was inches away from kicking the door in a huff. Nick noted the other two were looking at each other and having a conversation with their eyebrows in silence.

It wrapped up with the felinoid nudging his head towards the door.

"Well.. what if we 'go for food'? It'll give you an hour or two to work him over?" Suggested the ursidain, 'subtly' tilting her head.

"How? Just drop to my knees and suggest he lower his pants? Make kissy faces? His translator is out! Oh yeah; that'll work." The taurian huffed, rolling her eyes.

"Do you want the chance or not?" Demanded the felinoid.

A moment ticked by.

"Yes."

A few moments more and the ursidain's knee was slapped by the felinoid as he got up and moved out of the cabin, gracefully moving despite the rocking of the moving train. The black furred mountain was less graceful, wobbling and stomping when her balance was found wanting.

The door closed and Nick was left alone with the black and white cow, who idly toyed with the ring the glittered in the setting sunlight.

The man looked round 'idly' and as naturally as he could. When he had her attention, Nick gave a tight lipped, but hopefully warm smile to her.

Nick had to admit she was attractive, he probably wouldn't have said no if she had approached him, but he wasn't sure how to react to such a candid conversation.

"Say.. you-.. ah.. you still don't understand me." She started then stopped, the wind visibly taken out of her sails and looking outright dejected.

"And why wouldn't I?" Asked Nick with a ghost of a smirk on his face.

The human worried for a moment whether he'd given her a heart attack as he refitted the spare translator into his ear.

"You.. did.. I mean, we... err.." The large and imposing lady spluttered.

It was adorable.

"Don't worry, it's different to hear things with no filter, but I wasn't insulted... not really." He tried to assure her, folding away the table now it was unneeded.

"So... about why I stayed behind...?" She asked, with a hopeful tone that was painfully obvious. These female Taurians really were like oblivious young men, full of nerves and hormones with no idea how to use what they had.

"Well we've only got just over an hour and a half... how do these beds unfold?" Nick asked carefully, thankfully for her, so was he.

Thirst but feel free to elaborate

I want to fuck nagi so bad. He's so cute, and lazy. He's such a pillow princess. Imagine fucking him while he's playing his game and telling him to focus on it. He's trying to not moan, especially if he were kind of gamer who'd use voice chats, so he'd have to hold his voice back but he can't so his moans would keep on slipping.

This could be for hiori too :) I love both very much

(nsfw) MUTE IT :: Seishiro Nagi x femdom!Reader

anon, dear lovely sexy anon, I use to see fics and feel my skin crawl at the gamer!boy fics and the weird greasy boys domming reader and never understood the allure until now...I JUST WANTED TO PEG A GAMER BOY YOU'VE AWAKEN SOMETHING IN ME ANON ♡ - askbox open cw: fem!Reader, dom!Reader, established relationship, toxic gamer trope (not Nagi) exhibition, sex toys, pegging, anal, sexual themes, unedited word count: 2.4k character(s): Nagi Seishiro

DNI :: minors, blank blogs + m!Reader blogs

One sigh into his mic had Nagi mumbling his words the second he off handedly mentioned you were home, "Yeah no, she got home from work earlier than expected is all."

"Boo!"

"What about guys only game night?!"

"You gonna quit early then you fucking simp?"

"Watch Seishiro is gonna log out because he's too busy sucking his girls dick like a wimp."

The onslaught of shitty responses came after Nagi hadn't even made a big deal about you coming home. No intention of fighting them over it because all he needed was the body count to do something in his game. He'd do it alone if it was a solo players job. On his belly lounging in bed, Nagi looked away from his screen when you came and sat behind him on his thighs.

"Want me to mute it?" He asked haphzardly.

You could make out the garbage talking on the other end of his mic. But knew immediately it wasn't anyone to concern yourself with. Instead stretching out your arms until you cupped the underside of Nagi's ass. Teasing touch of your thumbs dipped down between his thighs and closer to his sensitive areas. Leaving you to only smile when you jiggled his ass in his grey sweats, "Mute it, only if you don't want them to hear you baby."

Drawn out of his lips was a low moan Nagi didn't entirely hide. Twisting the mic away from his mouth a little bit was all he did. Half lidded eyes shutting entirely now when he wiggled his hips under you and stuck his butt up a little more in the air. Unable to use his words. But using a few pathetic groaning noises to indicate he wanted you to touch him more.

If he didn't care those losers heard, then why should you?

Catching your fingers in his waistband, Nagi lifted his hips up just enough to let you pull down his sweats in one good. How wonderful his ass did look in them couldn't compare to the real thing. Squeezing and groping his ass with your weight pinning his legs down. Nagi squirmed and moaned little by little under your attention. Hips going from sedentary and lazy; to wiggling and pushing up against your in wordless demands of more. Even though his underwear he couldn't help it.

Leaning down, yanking down his shirt a little just to press your lips at the base of his neck above his shoulder blades, Nagi's full body shudder made him drop the game controller and bury his face in the bedding under him. Noise correctly muffled from the mic now as Nagi's headphones hung around his neck instead. Questions and demands of what the hell was was doing and to get his ass back to the game could be heard.

"Bunch of losers...can't even do the game without you." Your lips curling into a smile still pressed against the pale part of skin you kissed, "Lets take a little more of your time, shall we?"

No back talk Nagi laid limp with his face in the bed when you worked his underwear down around his thighs. Framing his bubble butt in your hands as soon as you could. Squeezing and groping it as he moaned into the bedding. Writhing under your attention as his cock grew and remained pinned between his body and the bedding. All the relief he got was from your hands on his ass and whatever he could manage rutting his hips into the bed under him.

Just as his mind grew hazy and he was getting into a rhythm of rocking his hips into the bedding, your touch was gone. Distraught but with an utterly unreadable façade Nagi drug his face out of the bedding to look why you stopped. Pouting in the meantime when your hands were no longer on him at all. Instead fishing out something in the bedside drawer next to your shared bed.

"Don't look at me like that." You didn't waste a breath berating him with that kicked puppy dog look in his eyes when you sat back up with a bottle in your hands. Holding it between your thumb and forefinger just to swing the little container in front of him, Nagi immediately recognized what you drug up, "I told you to mute it. No going back now."

No going back indeed. Fisting the sheets under him while he could only think to bite down on a wad of bedding under his face. Nagi wiggled his hips when the icy hot sensation of lube dripped down his crack. Lubing him up a little excessively but he wasn't about to complain when you drew your finger up and down, spreading it as you went and teasing his entrance.

The threat to mute his gaming mic was very real. Now missing the opportunity at all Nagi let out a toe curling moan the second your finger slipped up to it's second knuckle in him. Every muscle in his body tensing then releasing with the wave of pleasure. Fists still balled up with bed in them. Nagi was found wiggling back on your finger demanding more like a true greedy princess before you even had a chance to move.

"Want more." Nagi murmured when you swished your finger around his insides, "Want more now."

"It slipped in so easily no wonder you want more." Drawing your finger up his crack to lather it in lube, you had absolutely no problem shoving another finger inside his twitching walls along with the first. Nagi's spine dipping in. Hips pushing back and his cock leaking onto the bed beneath him. He looked so endearingly breedable laid out on his stomach like this, "You know..." You used your free hand to draw a feathery light touch between his shoulder blades. Right away feeling him tighten around you and forcing you to push your fingers into him slower just to make them fit, "A shame all they can do is hear you...But they're all still so loud." You made note of the commentary still pouring through the headphones that drowned out Nagi's meager moans, "Maybe you need to be a little louder."

Groaning in protest volume wasn't in his arsenal. Only wanting to drown in pleasure of your fingers mixing up his insides while he still had his headset on. Nagi protested when you drew your fingers out of him. Whining with his cheek plastered into the bed under him that he didn't care what they heard all he wanted was to cum. You noted his concerns and hushed him up quickly when Nagi caught a glimpse of what he saw you drag out finally.

"Mmm." You lubed up the bulbous end of your side of the toy. Some silicone now slimy with lube before you pulled your shorts to the side. Slipping in your end of the strapless toy with ease. Adjusting very quickly when you flicked on the vibrations. Ripples of sensation making your walls clench around the toy as you thrusted it in and out of yourself a few times for good measure. Nagi engrossed in seeing you fuck yourself with the shorter end of the strapless dildo before getting it just right. Leaving the much longer end pointing out to him as you returned to dousing it in lube above his peachy little ass, "Don't worry. I'll make sure you cum and shut those lame fucks up at the same time."

Nagi had no desire or time to question your methods. Press of the toy head against his slipper entrance and soon your silicone cock was disappearing inside him.

"Seishiro are you still there?"

"Told you guys he'd give up when his bitch got home."

"Dumbass left his account on he's so whipped."

Sinking your cock down to the base in him. Nagi's noises bubbling up even louder than with your fingers. His back dipped in while his hips pushed up into your pelvis. Ass shaking and begging for more of the length you couldn't give him after taking it all. Nagi's head set had been dropped right next to his head. The perfect place for you to reach over him, pressing your strap deeper into his guts and snagging the loud gaming tool for yourself.

"This thing still on?" You knew it was but still spoke exceptionally clearly into the mic. Quick to hear everyone clam up when they stumbled onto the fact you may have heard their shit commentary, "Ahem-" You cleared your throat after you got their attention. Dragging your hand down your baby's back and smiling down at Nagi who wiggled his ass against you utterly unaware of what you were doing now, "Sorry your little free ticket for easy game play is busy right now. His bitch of a girlfriend got home and well...guess he's a little busy."

Putting the headphones right back on Nagi's mop of white hair. You twisted the mic back towards his mouth and grabbed fistfuls of his hips immediately. Driving your strap into him as deep as you could just as he had been whining about. A loud whimpering moan drug from his lips and sent right into the mic. Nagi didn't care if he'd be heard by the lot of gamers he'd befriended. Not when your tip threatened to slip right out of him before you fucked it right back into him.

Waiting for exactly this. Nagi's ass in the air while you slammed your hips into him from behind. Hefting up the giant soccer player so he was face down in the bed with your hands grabbing his hips to hold them in place for you. The slap of skin as you fucked Nagi still wearing the gaming headphones was only drown out by the loud lewd noises he was spewing right into the mic previously covered up by some blankets.

"No way your doing that! Faker!"

"Dude are you fucking on stream?!"

"You heard her she's fucking Seishiro oh my god he's getting pegged!"

Their comments were flooding not only the headphones adoring the top of Nagi's head. But also the little chat channel in the corner of his screen. All of them madly typing in hysterics as you continued to fuck their golden gamer boy in real time.

Not able to grab a fistful of his hair like you would any other time. You settled on using Nagi's hips to pull him back onto your strap with the weight of him behind it. Driving your tip into his deepest parts and stirring growing and louder moans right out of the man. Clumps of white hair sticking to his face as he grew even redder in the face each passing moment. Nagi's ass and thighs jiggling off your hips with each thrust. Threatening to pull out completely each time. Just to slam it back into him and enjoying the little wiggle of Nagi's ass when your toy abused the sweetest spot right against his prostate.

With a flick of your finger the vibrations were set up to the highest setting. Making Nagi even louder and the chat in his game loose their collective minds as they all really figured out their number one gamer was getting pegged for them all to hear. His cock untouched and bouncing from the thrusts. Smacking his thighs or his stomach with his sensitive bulbous cock head. Leaving a gooey trail of precum that never seemed to end. His back dipped in and Nagi spread his legs wider with the inevitable orgasm tightening in his stomach. Still with just the vibrating end inside you. Making your walls clench and flutter with pleasure each time you slammed into him. You couldn't help but quicken your pace and tighten your grip on his hips just to hold him in place when you struck the golden spot on your end.

"Shit- Baby, god-" You felt the tightening in your stomach grow when Nagi lowered himself just enough on your strap that it pushed up against your sweet spot, "Fuck- I'm going to cum fucking you- Shit I really am-"

"Fuck I wanna cum-" Nagi whined into the microphone now damp with his spit from being mashed into the bed while you fucked him. Slack jawed, panting and matching your thrusts so you hit as deep in him as possible. Nagi didn't even realize what you had said about cumming yourself. Only focused on the wave of pleasure growing and growing until there was just nothing else he could do.

Letting out the loudest moan yet Nagi twisted his fists into the bedding he had a death grip on just as his orgasm overtook his senses entirely. Hip shaking, cock twitching orgasm drowning the six four man in toe curling pleasure as you fucked him right through it all. Not quite a spurt but the first thickest wad of cum drooling off his tip when he clenched around your toy. Milky and white in contrast to the precum from before. His cum oozed out of him with each abusing stroke of your tip against his prostate.

Leaving Nagi a moaning mumbling mess with the microphone against his lips as you dug your fingertips into his hips and pushed your thrusts right into your own tummy twisting pleasure. High vibed humming of the vibrator that helped Nagi cum as hard as he did. Now doing it's job as your walls clenched around the thicker end inside you. Hips giving way to an erratic rut just to ride out your own orgasm. Enjoying the high even more as you pushed into him with each wave of pleasure. Milking the idea that you were really cumming in your lazy gamer boyfriend to the max until you finally had to let out the breath you were holding. Cunt fluttering around the toy inside you. And Nagi passed out with his face in the bed and ass still up in the air with you buried inside him. You suddenly remembered the headphones crooked on his head. No surprise not hearing any vulgar comments now. Just the muffled noises of prudes doing what prudes did best on the other end of it.

Plucking the headphones off Nagi's head, a little labored breathing as your walls still ached around the side buried between your legs. You laughed into the mic itself, "Next time you wanna talk shit, mute it so this bitch doesn't ruin your little game. Now, if you'll excuse him-" You reached down and curled your fingers around Nagi's cock with your strap pressing deep inside him all over again and your finger hovering over the off switch of the gaming headphones, "Your free gaming prodigy won't be playing with you again. He's too busy getting fucked by the bitch that interrupts your guy time."

[the-s1lly-corner]

OOO what about a Dark Fey reader like Maleficent? that was being hunted down by a dangerous group of cryptid hunters, and had a broken wing n wounded by iron bullets but kept running.

And the Creeps found them took em in. and since ferfolk cannot lie,.. caught them off guard with a question on how they felt about that creep 😉

I expect to see Slenderman!👁👁 and another ig👍plz

idk I rarely see Supernatural like readers, it's a little disappointing imo. I love powerful self-inserts ok?

Slenderman with a Fey!S/o

UWAAAA I'm sorry for taking so long to get to this !! I've kinda been sucked up in a bunch of irl stuff !! (Nothing serious, just me working on things)!!

Admittedly I have never watched maleficent; so I'll solely be going off the info given in this ask I hope that's alright ☝️😔 and I apologize in advance if it's no good 😭💔

As you specifically brought up slenderman, he's gonna be our star today!! I was originally going to do the full list of characters but my brain js

A raisin

Also also!! I totally get what you mean ab the shortage of supernatural readers!!! Not just in the creepypasta fandom; but really any fandom! Let the insert have powers, let them be super strong, ect ect !!

You'd stumble into him after trying to hide and take shelter in his woods

Normally, he'd take down any trespassers after stalking them for a bit; but he was just too curious about you to make that the case

I dont know, I always think of slenderman to carry that kind of curiosity about the world and other creatures; I feel like that makes him more interesting than the fandoms standard "stern and oddly fatherly" take... also I just live the idea of curious cryptids!!

Moving on

He'd help patch you up with the resources in the forest; I've seen mixed opinions on whether or not slenderman has weird healing powers but personally; I think he has regen abilities that can only be applied to himself! Unrelated to the ask I know, but a quick little fun aside and little bonding point for him and s/o if they have the same deal going on

As for shelter? I'm personally still on the fence on if I wanna make the manor thing a part of my personal universe and hc that I write for these silly lads; but rn I've settled for a version of it! Not as grand or tidy as the old fandom hyped it up to be; it's a lil smaller and kinda... run down

Still livable, though, and you're more than welcome inside if you need somewhere to stay

Granted, I'm not entirely sure how the topic of romance would be brought up with him, but let's say he picks up on some behavior from you that makes him start putting together a picture

Bro has zero rizz I'm sorry

Regardless, he eventually asks the question; and as the rules go, you're kinda forced to tell him how you feel

I think regardless of if he reciprocates or expected your answer, he'd be surprised

I mean how many people are out here flirting with a forest monster, to their face

I think it could work, honestly! The relationship I mean!! I wish i had more hcs since this is such a fun idea, but I genuinely dont know much about fairy stuff and all the lore regarding them

But onto some more side hcs/little ideas to make up for the lack of stuff !!

If you need comfort, about the whole being hunted thing, slenderman is a good listener; and he understands what it's like, bro probably has to deal with people trying to get a look at him all the time. He gets it

Want revenge on them? Well if the hunters followed you into the woods they probably wont last long anyways; despite the whole curiosity thing he can be... rather territorial

Day to day life with slenderman is interesting as is, but with a fellow non-human companion? Shenanigans will likely ensue

What kind? Cant say, due to my lack of knowledge 😔☝️

Too injured to move around on your own? If you need to go somewhere slenderman will either fetch it for you, or just carry you to where you gotta go

Also he totally wont make it habit; even before the romantic relationship is fully formed

It just activates his neurons 😔

i feel inclined to add on to that ask abt movies (cuz i love watching movies).

Trunks to me speaks to me as a person who at one point expected the stuff he watches to change him a little. To help him think in a different perspective and challenge his preconceptions or. SOMETHING. hes the kind of guy to try to watch movies like 2001 space odyssey but by the end of it, just looks up the ending explained. he has to try to get anything out of it. I don't think he liked trainspotting. I don't think he knew what to make of The Shining. Trunks would almost certainly try to not get bored at the beginning of Pulp Fiction (the bulk of that movie is talking). But he'll still go see movies in theaters or watch whatever he's got laying around in the house though.

He thinks he's watching movies to gain something but tbh ? Trunks has been watching movies all his life, and it might just feel rly weird to suddenly. not to. If that makes grammatical sense. I think it just gets too quiet in his house. His mom's always working on something in her lab, vegeta's always in his training room, etc etc. so he puts em on to chill. Even if he doesn't really get them sometimes. Bulma seems like the type to do the same thing while she works, maybe he gets it from her.

That's probably why watching movies with goten is so interesting though. He can really get to the core of what it's trying to say, engage with the story and themes on a meaningful level and come up with his OWN well constructed analysis with an infectious enthusiasm reminiscent of the way Gohan talks about entomology.

And Goten, country bumpkin that he is, probably hasn't even seen more than MAX 30 movies in his life (ever) besides whatever soaps his mom leaves on. he's glad trunks invites him over to watch this stuff. At the end of analyzing whatever film they saw I think he'd be like Waow. That was so cool Trunks thank you for showing me this :-) can I borrow this dvd and never give it back and Trunks will be like yeah man thats cool I'm glad you liked it so much. I have a bunch more laying around it's whatever. (He found a lot of these movies in this "guest" room he's never really been inside of. It still has a lot of stuff from before he was born.)

I think that's so interesting.. that Trunks is familiar with the elements present in film but because it's familiar, it's harder to parse how or why these elements are meshed together to make the whole. he's just "watching" them without really thinking about anything and as such, doesn't gain anything.

But because Goten isn't accustomed to watching movies all the time, he can look with unclouded eyes. Not just watching, but observing and taking all of it in.

Its the difference between hearing and listening if that makes sense.

(One last tidbit which isn't super important. I mentioned earlier a guest room. It was yamcha's. When he moved out, he didn't really take a lot of things with him, choosing to leave some of his clothes and most of his movies behind. Bulma probably told him that he could just leave his stuff there in case he ever wanted to visit. The only movie he bothered to take with him was Caddyshack. For some reason. Why)

peace 🌷

I mean this as a kindly reminder and I'm saying this to everyone: you can always make your own post / reblog the post in question in order to add on to it. You can get your name out there. Look alive... It's showtime. I mean I will always faithfully post asks (I cannot guarantee in a timely manner) but never forget your options there.

(For instance perhaps posting your own words on your own post stands to grant them more respect, rather than forcing them through the filter of somebody else's input in order to be posted - as is the reality of sending asks. I can tell when someone really cares, and I appreciate that, and I try to be faithful to that, but I also like to babble. Maybe some posts ought to be stand-alone?)

(Gotta raise my glass to this though becasue i found out today [I would have found out a week ago if I had bothered to check my email] that I may or may not be helping my school start a film club so TBH i gotta appreciate this ..... and I gotta respect the grinde.... It's funny thouhg because you know I actually hate watching movies. When the time comes I ought to come back to you and the other user for recommendations. Well anyway back to the ask)

OK Well this is some real shit you just said. I fully agree. It coheres with what was already said although with some extra sensitivity ...

Reposting this segment for a TL;DR becasue I thought it was an elegant conclusion:

Trunks is familiar with the elements present in film but because it's familiar, it's harder to parse how or why these elements are meshed together to make the whole. he's just "watching" them without really thinking about anything and as such, doesn't gain anything. But because Goten isn't accustomed to watching movies all the time, he can look with unclouded eyes.

I mean really it all comes down to Trunks being a Modern CityBoy; he's used to background noise, he's used to mindless entertainment. Goten doesn't have things in his life that are meant to be taken for granted, though, so that just makes him overall more attentive and appreciative.

That's the greater discussion here ... A veiled call for action for us all to try to look with fresh eyes upon our own lives ....

Really, If Trunks isn't taking to the creative storytelling aspect of it, he should at least take a shining to the technological artistry. Maybe he doesn't care why or when, but he does know HOW they do what they do. That'd be swagg. But then he'd have to do research on something that isn't Minecraft related. Sighhhh

BTW Thanjk you for addsing that Caddyshack bit in there for me. Mondo appreciated <3

Ok so.... This is a weird ask lol. But if you don't mind can you share a mini update of both sides of the law? Like?? Do you think Beth still is in law? Is Rio still in crime?? Are they still together 😭? Like where do you see all the ch in the future? Also I love this fic so much seriously one of my favs ever thk you so much for writing it 💗💖💗💖💗💖💗💖

Anon, thank you, this made my day - I'm so psyched you liked it and thank youuuu for letting me know!

And no, I never mind asks (the serotonin of seeing that little envelope with a dot on it lol) so let's gooooooooo:

I have thought about this in the context of a "sequel" of sorts and been trying (and largely failing lol) to see if I could continue the story and fill in blanks without using the two main POVs. Everyone BUT the "both sides" in other words. The "future" in that "sequel" though only goes out a couple years plus will likely never get completed plus it's easier to write in bullet points just answering your questions and ya girl prioritizes laziness and the easiest way out at all times so:

Yes, Beth would still be in the law, although the form of her career would change over the years. I see her craving the Law Firm life for awhile - having her own cases, telling people she is "Elizabeth Boland, ESQUIRE" (lol, nerd), feeling like she has a seat at the table with other experienced litigators she respects like Gretchen/Katz, learning the system and being part of all the "culture" (bar stuff, meeting judges, etc.), and most importantly making money. She's been a stay-at-home mom for a decade+, and while that is hard work, now she's surrounded by adults (albeit adults of the worst kind, aka lawyers) and she wants to prove that she's the smartest and most competent to all them too (less "prove" and more "make them acknowledge").

The Law Firm life would lose its appeal after a few years though. Katz would retire to Florida and she'd have the whole firm to herself but once she'd hired a bunch of new associates, got the whole thing running as Managing Partner, got a few "Best Detroit Mid-Size Firm" awards, etc., she'd be looking for other challenges. She's like Rio in that she wants to be in charge (thinks she is in charge at all times lol) but her need for power and control manifests a little differently imo - Beth wants it in a societally approved external way - wants everyone looking to say "Well, objectively, you just can't get better than that. We, as a Society, approve."

That's a judge or a politician. "Your Honor...." "Senator...." "Councilwoman..." - Rio would die laughing at wanting to be called any of those out loud, even as he'd brutally shut down any lack of respect towards him from anyone on either side of the law. Power to Rio doesn't need to be chronicled in the Wayne County Bar Association Newsletter before that makes it real, it just is. But this would be the Beth Dream imo. EVERYONE having to say ("Say it! SAY! IT!") her title, out loud and to her face.

So she'd maneuver herself into kissing ass and doing grunt bar/alumni work for the name recognition the first few years in practice until she was recommended for substitute judge positions, then springboard a few years after that into running for judge/political office.

In contrast, he'd stay with crime, yes of course. The problem with going 100% clean is that in the Legit World there is always going to be someone else Society makes your boss, and that rubs against his soul. Even the best lawyer with the highest hourly rate or most high-profile clients can get screwed by a shitty judge (see, e.g., the current United States Supreme Court). So staying clean/legit means working within the System mostly and that is just too limiting. Plus he likes the action, the rush, just likes it.

So he'd keep his criminal empire, but continue to morph and evolve to stay on top and one step ahead. He'd keep the legit stuff too as a cover and to interlace/enhance and because he likes the irony and fuck-you-ism of having his legit biz stuff be an entry into a prissy white country club that he only wants to be a part of to say a silent you-can't-keep-me-out and to get into fights with Gretchen on the tennis court.

YES THEY WOULD BE TOGETHER. And they'd stay together, whatever/wherever the road. The years apart would be like a bit of an unhealed wound they would never talk about but would always be lurking. A reminder of the alternative, a cautionary tale of what it could be like to choose pride/wanting to be right/being afraid of what others think over compromise. Nothing is as bad as that.

Which is not to say they wouldn't butt heads and battle on the regular though, both because it's a type of foreplay they both crave and because both of them deep to their core think they are right at all times and also the one in charge over the other. She'd try to get him to bankroll certain "community" type bullshit that he'd find deeply lame or try to strongarm him into going along with her wacky biz ideas. He'd try to steer her into how she should be running her firm (shots....FIRED, she would literally black out from rage) or taking on certain type of cases best for her "image."

(I was trying to play with this as the new conflict in their relationship - b/c hell no with cheating etc. - in the "sequel." Basically reimagining/reworking the Season 2 Crackhouse Goons Encounter. That Beth gets a felony drug court-appointed client who fails to appear for his court date. She's all gungho because she wants to kiss the butt of the judge who appointed her and show she is the Super Best Number One Court-Appointed Counsel Ever in Detroit. So she tracks the random junkie down to the Crackhouse, then actually goes in looking for him, Annie in tow, then has to bluff her way out like in canon. Rio is NOT pleased to find this out and tries to "order" her (lol, mistake) not to take on cases like that. This causes Big Fight that Gretchen is a reluctant bystander to and wants to kill herself watching how stupid and stubborn they are.)

Of the rest of the characters - do you mean like Gretchen/Gardner/Courtney? Or Dean/Ruby/Annie? Or just Rio/Beth and this is already too long (it is, I know). I'll just do a couple of law ones:

Gretchen - Stays at her Firm til the day she dies. Would never give up litigating or crim defense for judgeship or anything else. Sees it as her way to protect her family (literal family in Rio/Beth and figurative family as in their business and all its people), and is forever annoyed that Rio sees her sensible "I need to work within the Law as much as possible if I'm going to do us the most Good [and by that I mean, Bad]" as too cautious. Becomes a mentor of sort to Beth in her first few years of practice and then later deep friends/sister-in-law but neither of them ever fully see it, Beth because she views herself as having Ruby/Annie as Friends/Sisters Only in Life, Gretchen because she's always thought of herself as a woman who only gets along with men and not other women.

Gardner - tries to fit into the same big law shoes his father wore for 5 years or so. Ends up getting dumped by law school boyfriend/love of his life who's frustrated Gardner won't stop trying to squish himself into the Warrington Success mold his father wants him to fill (and not be gay, obvi). Comes to his senses 10 years or so after graduation and leaves private practice, becomes a law professor instead so he can read and think in quiet and work with shiny new students. Reconnects with Beth/Rio when he invites Beth to his wedding (new guy he loves a lot, even if he still thinks about Joel on occasion) on a whim and she replies with a Plus One and a note that Rio says to tell you "he's looking forward to it, G."

I'm so sorry for this stream of consciousness, Anon, I've had 5 cups of coffee this morning. Hopefully this is what you were asking and THANK YOU again!

Ok so my thoughts s4e1

I'll admit that I was thrown for a loop at the bug "revelation" since I always laughed at the secret marriage theory. That being said, if you take Carlos as a character into context, it makes sense why he did what he did. He'd come out to his parents relatively recently and we already know their reaction wounded him deeply. Add on the fact that Carlos would likely have been working towards his career as a cop and we know that Gabriel thought he was too "soft" for that. It's not surprising that he decided that marrying a woman was the right answer. I do believe that it was wrong of him to not tell TK about it but again, given that communication is something we know Carlos really struggles with, it's not surprising. He may have been afraid of losing TK. And it's also possible that with everything he and TK have gone through in their relationship and the fact that neither Michelle nor Iris were even around, he just didn't think about it. I don't think it's fair at all to just condemn Carlos and tbh I'm betting that the "queerbaiting" accusations isn't even about Carlos so much as it is about a bunch of straight girls upset that the queer couple that they fetishize has thrown a woman into the mix. Let's not forget that this fandom has actually been called out over this sort of thing by the writers themselves which is something I have never seen before.

As far as TK goes...this guy is actually an angel ISTG. I love him so much and I am so proud of him. He would be well within his rights to be extremely angry not even necessarily about the marriage but the fact that Carlos kept it a secret this whole time. Instead he quickly processes what he's been told (seriously Ronen's facial expressions are so incredible) and reassures Carlos that everything is OK. He even asks if Iris is OK. TK has no reason to be concerned about Iris and I actually wouldn't hold it against him if he did instinctively dislike her due to everything. But bc this is TK we're talking about (the same guy who was worried about the kid that shot him even as he lay in a hospital bed with a bullet wound), his gut instinct is to ask after the wellbeing of a woman he doesn't even know.

Here's the thing, most of us who live past the age of 18 have things in our past that we're not proud of. We know TK does and it's something he struggles with. Its hardly surprising that Carlos would as well. Ok yes, this is one hell of a bombshell and it's weird to me that this is what the show decided to go with but it's only been one episode and there's a lot more to come. We know that at the end of the day, TK and Carlos will emerge from this stronger than ever. And as I said just recently in a post, Gabriel and Andrea's behavior has caused Carlos a lot of pain and they do bear at least some blame for Carlos making such a crazy decision to begin with. I hope that this arc allows for Carlos to confront his parents and for them to actually acknowledge the way they've treated him. I also hope that TK (even though he's being so amazingly supportive) is allowed to feel his own feelings bc he still has every right to be upset. I also don't like the idea of Iris interrogating TK being used for laughs. Bc really? Iris is like the last person in the world allowed to judge or question TK on anything.

Anyway, it's only been one episode and I'm already exhausted 🙃.

[princeoftennis-scenarios]

Ahhh welcome back! Glad you guys ressurected~

May I ask for a match up? I'm 5'1, she/they, avid gamer and is coming back to taekwondo in hopes of being more active in tournaments! I'm the eldest sister of three; I'm the cool, weird, and funny sister that they look up to ;o; On the outside on I'm a friendly and bubbly person, but I'm actually an introvert that needs time to myself to recharge. In a romantic capacity I'm a chronic overthinker (never been in a relationship) and have trouble with self-esteem, thinking that no one could like me like that (working on it though!). I'm a hard worker, sometimes too hardworking (historically I was a part of a lot of clubs; anime, student council, cheerleading), so I'm often napping when I can. And I love my doggos (I got 3); free dog therapy!

Thank you! To paraphrase Mushu, we live! :D

As for your match, I have to go with Chotaro!

Confessing would be lots of blushing and stuttering, but it would be absolutely adorable. He would take you to a picnic in the park and that's where he'd finally say he likes you, asking for you to be his partner. Instead of a whole bouquet, you'd get a smaller potted plant because he'd want for you to have a constant reminder of him rather than flowers that die eventually.

He'd love your bubbly side and I can see him coming out of his shell with you. But, he would give you all the space you need to recuperate. He would love if you spend time with him in the same room, each doing something on your own while still being together. Simply sharing time and space would be enough for him and he'd know once you want cuddles, you'd come over and demand them.

Regarding your insecurities and overthinking, he'd be really good at reassuring and supporting you. He'd spoil you with compliments and kisses. He's the type to answer 'Would you still like me if I was a worm?' with 'Of course, I'd make sure you have plenty of dirt to eat.' No question or insecurity of yours would be silly for him and he'd make sure you feel loved and cherished.

He wouldn't like you overexerting yourself and would make sure to take care of you on the days you have a lot of commitments. Any time you'd nap, he'd stroke your hair and whisper sweet nothings to you. And he'd be there to support you on tournaments, likely wearing a shirt with your name and waving from the bleachers. It wouldn't be unusual if he were to bring his friends, some of the louder ones to cheer for you. Best of all, despite not knowing anything about taekwondo, he'd learn all the rules and ask you bunch of questions in order to understand it better. As it is a contact sport, he would be worried about you getting hurt and would come by or text you after every match, asking if you are doing well.

Your other matches: Kawamura, Kaidoh

megumi x lovestruck!reader headcanons

you and megumi both met during the sister exchange. you were another first year, and you had been revealed when yuuji was proven not dead. it took your orientation as a first year longer than the rest of the students because you still had preparations to go, so you couldn't meet megumi, nobara, or itadori the same time they all did.

once you had locked eyes with him after introductions, he swore he could have seen hearts shape your pupils.

"megumi my love, you're just so cute!

"please [name], we are in a middle of a fight."

you followed him around most places like a lost puppy clingy onto its familiar owner.

he found you very aggravating at first, an absolute bimbo in his mind, and having you around was like a suicide mission.

he learned to get used to it by learning different ways to sneak past you so you wouldn't be able to find him so easily.

"hey hunny, how do you like your eggs? scrambled or sunny side up?"

"never call me that."

"i take it you like them sunny side up my dear~"

he would never admit to accepting your sweet out of pocket gifts you'd leave at his dorm room every morning, each one having a different meaning.

megumi would probably soften up around you when you both had been set off on a mission to disregard a specific curse that had been a little difficult, and he would have never expected you to put your life on the line just for him to get an extra breath.

he would definitely get a little worried and would discipline you in the midst of it all, "why would you do that you idiot?!" or a bunch of "you should've never done that, look at you now!"

"i don't want your pretty face to get ruined, gumi...."

yeah. he's definitely warmed up to you at this point after seeing how broken you looked when you risked your life.

would let you cling onto his arm in public, ignoring the weird stares he'd get from his elders and the other students.

everyone was definitely aware of how in awe you were with the guy. even though you treated everyone as equally, megumi was very much more special than the rest.

would definitely tie your shoes in the middle of the sidewalk if he spots it unlaced. "my gumi bear, you're just the cutest aren't you?!" prepare for a blushy mess.

if it was a rare free day that the students were given every once in a while, you'd do the same routine of following him around or making him food and gifts. you definitely made it obvious of how lovestruck you were with him.

his favorite thing so far that you've done for him is probably the self portrait you tried so hard to work on with the two of you ending up looking like scribbles in the drawing. it was the thought that counts.

definitely wears your favorite scrunchie whenever you need him to hold onto it for you. no questions should be asked, it's quite obvious who it belongs to. doesn't care to show it off in front of the others.

whenever nobara, who was usually your shopping buddy wasn't around, you definitely relied on megumi. even if his answers were short and half assed as he didn't pay much attention to what you were trying on, you still found yourself gushing over him each and every time.

"how about this dress, gumi?"

"sure."

"should i buy this lipgloss, my love?"

"if you want."

your clinginess would just grow the more he accepted and came to terms with your personality. as much as he did mind, he tried his hardest to become comfortable with your love language between the unspoken pact the both of you had together.

would definitely be your study buddy. definitely not much of a help since you'd be too busy staring at him instead of your homework.

this definitely would irk his soul. he get's you're in love and everything, but for the love of god you needed to get your head out of the game for once and prioritize other things than just him.

if he had confronted you about it, you'd harshly take it in. you would've hidden it well though with the way he continued to work, expecting you to as well.

when he catches you studying by yourself in your dorm room that had been wide open, he'd become confused.

"oi, we were supposed to study together. are you starting without me?"

"o-oh, gumi bear.... i figured you were right with the whole 'are you too dumb to actually think about school instead of me for once' thing, so i decided to just study on my own.....

why the hell did he have to be such a douchebag to you?

would definitely feel the guilt creep up on him once you turn your head away quickly. he definitely wasn't used to your cold shoulder after becoming so comfortable with the way you were attached to him.

megumi would have his own way of apologizing to you. feeding you bits of his food, checking up on you while you were studying, and bringing you medicine whenever you felt like you had a headache from all the stress. you caught on right away and went back to your normal self once you found out he was basically trying to win you back.

text messages between you and him would be very onesided lol

y/n: i miss you so much gumi bear!!! come back to me please im begging!!!! i cant handle this much longer please i need u here with me now!!!!!

megumi: i am literally about to shower

y/n: do u think u can buy me pads pls im running out and nobara or maki have none and i'm badically suffeirbt i cant dveb type please gumi PLEASE

megumi: okay

y/n: hey my love i hope u have a wondefful day jsuy knwo THAT IM ALWAYS cheering u on!! 🥰🥰💞💓🥰💞💓💗💖💝💞💝💗💝💖

megumi: thanks

expect alot of teasing from gojo

it's not like you care about it, you're too much in your own little world to realize what people have to say about you two

if anything it's mainly megumi who becomes a blushing mess whenever someone mentions it.

but he doesn't mind because as long as he knows that you know he won't leave you then he's not letting go of his lovestruck sweetheart

[michu-writes]

OKAY HEAR ME OUT!!!

post covid kyle, wendy, and tolkien taking reader to meet their parents for the first time in the retirement home

A/N: Didn't know if you wanted this plotanic or romantic, so I made it romantic JSHDHSJ. I hope you enjoy bestieeee

Kyle Broflovski

He'd probably be a bit embarrassed for taking you to meet them, I mean he has seen pretty crazy shit his parents have done when he was a kid... But maybe it won't be that bad? He'd warn you for the smallest things like "Oh and ignore them if they're being overly nice and stuff to you, they're always like that. Also they might ask you a bunch of weird questions because that's how they are- If you don't wanna meet them anymore them anymore then we can just go back." Give him a kiss and tell him it'll be fine, then he won't care so much.

His parents are really welcoming to you, and yes what Kyle says may be true though. They'd ask you stuff like "When did you start dating? You haven't tried anything funny on our Kyle right? Are your guys planning on getting married? Have you done 'it' yet?" Mostly Sheila LMAO

It's super cute though, but Kyle would be really red the whole time.

Wendy Testaburger

Wendy's parents are kinda the same as Kyle's, but less weird questions. They're very sweet and supporting to your relationship. Wendy was a bit excited for you to meet her parents, and they were very happy to see that she found someone as loving as you. She's stop her parents from going a little overboard with the questions and stuff though, but you'd still have a fun time. Her parents absolutely loves you.

"Welcome to the Testaburger family, dear (y/n)."

I suggest bringing them gifts too while visiting, because they'd love you even more and be convinced that you're an angel.

Tolkien Black

Okay, his parents are probably the best here. They're so chill and loving. Tolkien really had no worries about you meeting his parents, so it was all good. You would literally melt the moment you met his parents, they were so loving and nice. If they had the chance to leave the retirement home, they would definitely buy you a gift before coming here. They'd treat you like you were their own kid as well. At first, they'd be sorta still protective of Tolkien, but shortly grew very soft towards you.

When they asked how you two met, Tolkien would make the story dramatic af but every part of his saying was true, it was still super cute. Would probably visit his parents like at least once a week or something.

[starsistertarot]

Hello! Do you have any imayoshi nsfw headcanons? it's okay if you don't want to reply to this question!

I believe the real question here is, anon... How many NSFW headcanons do I have for this piece of shit??? 👀

A lot. A whole fucking bunch of them actually-

Warning: Nothing graphic (cus lol that shit makes me awkward as hell)

These headcanons are probably not traditional shit you'd get if you asked ANYONE ELSE LMAO

(I don't know why I see him the way I do, but fuckings bear with me okay)

----

Initiation phase:

Imayoshi is usually the one to initiate it, but it is more like a game to him.

You see, he started his game 2 hours ago, slowly making you want him 🤌

He'd be very discreet. Strategically placed touches mixed with small kisses that grows bigger and more passionate by the hour.

First he'd start with a small touch to your arm, maybe a hand on your thigh. Continues to kiss your forehead, continues to kiss you as you smile-

He's trying to influence you to start doing the same. Slowly mimic him, slowly start kissing him without him doing it first.

Basically ... "influencing" you.

And you might think, is it really necessary for him to do so? No- He just requires mental stimulation. Life is a game, might as well make it interesting.

After all, where is the fun in straight up asking or just start up a makeout session out of nowhere?

General Normal Headcanons:

Second biggest dom in KnB... I won't change my mind on this one 🤌 (Akashi babe, you get to keep your crown)

Professional brat tamer

He is always on top dear. He doesn't switch.

oh the way he would pin you down by the wrists *slurp* (I have issues okay)

He would be one spicy bastard- Genuinely feel like he's open to try anything unless he finds it really weird?

His words would be extremely creative yet degrading... Time bomb style. (Meaning you won't understand what he means until like 2 minutes later)

He loves seeing you realise what he meant when the ship to react has already sailed 🥲

He genuinely enjoys taking his time, no matter how frustrating it might be for you

To be honest your frustration adds to his fun, so he's having a win-win moment.

He is not opposed to quickies but he doesn't necessarily enjoy them as much. How is he supposed to slowly rile you up for 2 hours without your knowledge if you'd want to get it over with?!

And this whole process is still a game to him my dear, but this time it's... for your own benefit 👀

And lots and lots of cuddles and kisses afterwards with smol wandering hands. (Because I said so)

The weird random ones;

He would call you weird nicknames that somehow gets worse over time as you keep doing the naughty with him.

"What was that, little chicken nugget? Want me to stop?"

And he does it because he knows its weird okay- Like why would you think Imayoshi of all people would go for common nicknames?

This man is a menace. No matter the time or day or during late night activities- He will always grab the opportunity to mess with your head.

He would be extremely amused if you could pull through his random shit during such intimate times though- Like what normal person would do that?

Rewards you with a gold star sticker he sticks to your forehead if you managed to entertain him

And by entertain him, I mean sticking with the random shit he pulls out of his ass

But could also be that other kind of entertainment too

You never know with him

[yourlocalshinguji]

Hello! May I get some hcs of Hajime, Kirumi and Kokichi with a s/o who is the Ultimate Paranormal Investigator? Not only that, but they're also obsessed with things such as urban legends and any horror related stuff. I hope this ain't too weird-

Hajime, Kirumi and Kokichi with the Ultimate Paranormal Investigator S/O

Too weird? I have like 10 books about urban legends, paranormal investigations, yokais, creepy experiences and stories and for some reason a book about a guy who found his way in life by joining a satanic cult. I couldn't read the last one with a straight face even though the book mentioned a lot of dark stuff. (It was a novel btw, not a real thing-)

Since I don't want that knowledge of mine to go to waste there's a mention of one of the creepy places I read about in one of my books. Chances are you've never heard of it because it's in my country (aka Spain).

Thank you for your request, this was very fun to write!

The reader is g/n.

—Mod Korekiyo.

—Hajime isn't the biggest fan or believer of ghosts stories, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like your talent. He thinks it's amazing that it is one of your passions and loves the way you smile or the sparkle in your eyes when you talk to him about it.

—That doesn't mean he believes you're going to, well... haunt real ghosts or something similar. His view on paranormal investigators are very stereotyped and he just doesn't get it.

—He'd gladly go with you to a place you have to investigate if you ask him. Maybe he can learn more about your techniques, the tools you use, what and how exactly you investigate... That's the kind of stuff he's interested in.

—He acts as if he isn't scared at first because he really isn't, but after spending 5 minutes inside a dark, scary looking building and hearing a sound after him he can't help but jump into your arms by pure instinct.

—"Babe... that was a bird."

—"Ah, a bird! O-of course, I already knew that. I just, em, wanted to see if you'd catch me if something happened to me."

—"Of course I would??"

—After a while he finally gets used to the atmosphere and is able to be as calm as usual.

—He asks you lots of questions out of pure curiosity, but at the same time tries not to be too annoying since he doesn't want to mess up with your work.

—Going with you definitely ends up being a good experience for both of you, even though Hajime is still a bit skeptical about the existence of paranormal stuff.

—He does like to hear the horror stories and urban legends you tell him, though. Not because of the legends themselves, but because he can't help but smile when he sees how excited you are when you talk about your favourite stories.

—Hear me out: horror movie night.

—It ends up in both of you watching a bunch of horror movies of your choice and cuddling under a blanket.

—Hajime likes to be the big spoon but he won't complain if you hold him. No. Not at all.

—Hold him.

—Like Hajime, she doesn't really believes in paranormal stuff, but she won't make any comments about it unless you directly ask her.

—"Well, I... suppose I must express my skepticism regarding ghosts and related legends."

—Kirumi still enjoys it when you tell her about what you have done, your experiences and what you have found during your investigations. There's just something so charming about the way you tell those stories, the way you do your job, that puts a small smile in her face.

—Your tools and equipment are always organized. Always. Sometimes you wonder how she's able to do it without you noticing it.

—She'd also suggest to go with you more than once in case you need her help for something, and honestly? You just want your girlfriend to go with you, that's it.

—She's not the kind of person who asks questions, but if you start to talk or explain something, she'll carefully listen and nod as you speak.

—By the way, Kirumi doesn't get scared at all.

—"Ah!"

—"Kiri? What's wrong?"

—"This place is so dirty. I'm sorry if I scared you."

—She says it in the most genuine way possible.

—To your surprise, she remembers every single detail about the legends and stories you tell her.

—"Someday I'd like to go to that place I told you about the other day. Being able to investigate there would be amazing..."

–"Ah, you mean that popular haunted house? The legends are quite frightening, I have to admit. Messages on the walls, missing people, bodies found near the building, torture rooms, rumors about satanic rituals... And its history as a hospital and a prison during a war doesn't make it any better. You have quite the taste for these things, dear."

—"Did you... really remember all of that?"

—"Hm? Of course I did. Maybe we can go someday, but you'll have to be careful."

—She will barely watch any horror movies with you because she prefers to clean or attend other duties.

—She will, however, read some of your horror books to you if that helps you sleep. You had your doubts at first, but Kirumi's voice is always calm and relaxing when she reads, it doesn't matter what exactly she's reading. She made you fall asleep more than once before.

—"Nee-heehee, Y/n, do you really haunt ghosts? That sounds fun, make sure to take me with ya the next time, okay?"

—You don't ask Kokichi to go with you. Kokichi doesn't ask you to go with you. He just goes whenever he feels like it.

—He's probably the most excited one about your talent. Visiting haunted places is something he didn't know he'd enjoy. Sure, there's the boring part where you have to take care of your equipment, use it correctly and wait hours and hours to catch something interesting, but he just skips that and explores the place as he pleases.

—"Kokichi, don't go there! I need to make sure this place is sta... Oh, whatever."

—He's already gone before you could finish talking.

—Sometimes, you could swear you finally got something interesting, evidence of a presence being in there. Turns out that presence is Kokichi messing around because he got bored.

—"Got ya! Did I scare you, Y/n?"

—"Doing my job with you is really hard, you know."

—"Aw, does that mean I didn't? How bad."

—After going with you for a few times, he'd really want to try some of the rituals or paranormal games you talk about sometimes, just for fun. You don't refuse, but you're still worried. Not because of the rituals, but because of your boyfriend.

—Kokichi knows lots of urban legends and horror stories as well, and shares them with you most of the time knowing that you'll gladly listen to them. Sure, he does change the details sometimes, but it's just to make them more interesting.

—Seeing you so excited is something he didn't know he liked that much. He teases you sometimes, saying that you look like a little kid and enjoying the annoyed look on your face.

—"Aw, babe! Look at you, you're speaking like a child! Calm down, I won't understand you if you keep talking so fast, you know."

—Let him be, Kokichi is just... Kokichi.

YOU MAKE ME FEEL SPECIAL!

SYNOPSIS: niko as your boyfriend

CHARACTERS INCLUDED: niko ikki aka my boyfriend hello

WARNINGS: swearing, pretend all the boys go to the same school and they're all friends for plot, normalize not writing serious boys as someone that practically hates their s/o and never opens up to them god bless, also no such thing as ooc since we dunno shit ab him so everything i say is law. SUPER LONG LOL, it's like 2k+ words 😭

A/N: i love my boyfriend and i'm v happy about all the attention he's getting (even if he will prob will b subbed out 👎) this was fun to write bc i think he would b very soft as bf and also i hate the notion that stoic and serious = boring and detached in a relationship. also first post w the new user yayyyy rip yoichisagis an end of an era for realsies.

FOR: fox anon my beloved this one is for u😩

it takes a while for you two to get together, just because niko wants to think things through and be sure he’s making the right decision, as well as him being naturally apprehensive about this whole dating thing.

when you do eventually start going out, keep in mind you're probably his first real anything, so-

niko needs to take it slow for the first month or so because he needs time to adjust and get used to being in a relationship.

when he gets comfortable around you, niko starts to talk a lot more.

niko starts to talk about his interests more-soccer, stem stuff (idc i'll die by my hc that he's a stem boy), etc. and niko's really happy that you're genuinely interested in what he has to say :)

and as your relationship progresses, niko becomes more inclined to share his inner thoughts.

“this song is so bad, i hate it and how it's everywhere,” like, babe that sucks, but what do you want me to do, take it off the radio myself? 😭

you find out that niko’s kind of a hater LOL, but it’s okay, because it means he can be himself around you <3 and the mini debates you have with each other are fun.

he’s someone you can take shopping with you if you need a solid second opinion.

“ikki, is this cute?” you niko as you adjust the shirt you tried on in the fitting room mirror.

“no.” he’s so straight up LOL. “the blue one from earlier was better.”

“this one?”

“yeah, that one. you look really pretty in it.”

ngl though, niko’s not much of a mall person. he'd just follow you around like a little puppy LOL, but he doesn't mind too much because it's for you.

communication is important to niko!!!!! he wants someone that he can have real conversation about the things that matter to him, so he rly makes an effort to have that kind of connection with you.

niko's naturally funny but he isn't aware that he is lol.

but when he does try, i feel like his humor comes in the form of sarcasm and dry wit. likes poking fun at you here and there with a lighthearted jab.

"you're so weird, y/n," is the most common one.

niko’s naturally closed off emotionally (male aquarius 😒) but i, personally, think he’d really try and push himself to be more open with you, especially if you expressed for him to do so </3

he'd be really appreciative of someone patient and understanding of the fact that he doesn't open up easily, though.

but eventually, you become the person closest to him- niko confides in you a lot, which he’s grateful for because he usually holds everything in.

not one for pda or other lovey-dovey things in public, other than the occasional holding of hands but behind closed doors, niko’s so soft around you, it’s like he’s a completely different person.

also, i feel like niko’s real handsy with you, i get the vibe he’s super touch starved 😭

although it does take him a while to get used to physical affection, once he has, niko cannot get enough. he’s always touching you when he has no real reason to.

(and because you're his first relationship, i feel like it’s just natural that niko’s going to be kind of clingy towards you.)

“you okay, ikki?” you ask as niko suddenly wraps his arms around your waist from behind, resting his chin on your shoulder.

“mhm,” he mumbles. “just wanna be close to you.”

niko likes when you sit on his lap when he’s on his computer. you can have your arms wrapped around his neck, your head resting in the crook of his neck, or you could just be on your phone or whatever, it doesn’t matter, niko just likes you near him.

you guys don’t really talk to each other when you do this, aside from niko occasionally checking up on you and asking if you need anything from him.

but other than that, you guys just enjoy each other's touch in silence. it’s one of his favorite things to do with you.

however, if you start kissing him in the middle of whatever he’s doing and keep it up for long enough, niko will drop everything to make out with you right then and there (also one of his favorite things to do with you).

speaking of kissing- you kiss niko first.

niko would try to plan your guys first kiss out because he wants everything to be perfect.

but, he ends up taking forever to execute it because he keeps overthinking and you can only wait so long before kissing him, so you take matters into your own hands.

his kisses are sloppy and juvenile at the beginning, but he’s smart and learns quickly what you do and don’t like.

likes being kissed on his jaw and forehead the most :')

if the team ever happens to see niko kissing you, they're gonna be so annoying 😭

"yooo niko's making big moves ‼️" "my son's growing up on me!😩" "good job *pats on the back*" and niko is red all over as he drags you away from them, muttering about how childish and annoying they are 😭.

but, they're all very supportive of you guys, even if they're embarrassing as hell 🙄.

they even give niko relationship advice- which luckily, he doesn’t follow (most of the time), because, let’s be honest, if you're getting unsolicited dating tips from a bunch of teenage boys, it’s probably bad 😭.

you’re the only person niko shows his forehead to. just know that having the opportunity to see it means that niko trusts you more than anyone else :’)

repay his trust by kissing his forehead lovingly and showering him with compliments whenever you can !!!!!!!!!!

“y/n, why’re you so embarrassing,” niko says under his breath, blushing as you hold his face and litter soft kisses on his forehead, rambling about how cute he is.

always looks for you in the bleachers when he has a game and you’re always the first person he talks to after.

and the fact that you make an effort to come as often as you can means sooo much to him. definitely considers you to be his biggest fan.

real classy with nicknames- uses “my love/love,” and “darling,” the most.

his favorite petname from you is "pretty boy." gives him butterflies each time he hears it.

the first time you call him that, he's confused, but after you explain that being called pretty is basically the highest compliment a boy can receive, he gets all soft on you.

only uses instagram to like and comment on your pictures and that's it 😭.

comments stuff like “you're so pretty” and "beautiful," without any emojis because niko refuses to use them LOL.

remembers the compliments you give him! they help with his self esteem and i feel like he values your opinion a lot.

so, tell him all about how cute and smart and talented and hot and funny he is and how much you love him and he'll replay it in his head 24/7.

i think he prefers to be the big spoon, unless he's sad- then he really wants you to hold him.

niko gives me homebody vibes, so expect relaxed dates, but still nice, yk?

what i mean is niko's not gonna take you out to get gas station food and call it a day 😭 he's classier than that and he always puts in effort towards dates.

he always plans them ahead of time and takes into consideration what he thinks you'd enjoy. and he insists on paying 🤗.

but, niko always does something special for days like your birthday or an anniversary, like go somewhere fancy if you wanted to or buy a nice gift you've been eyeing for a while.

helps you with your schoolwork, 100%. most of the time niko tutors you because he wants you to actually learn the material, but if you're feeling lazy and just wanna get it over with, niko will just give you the answers.

this is a big deal because i love him and all but, niko gives me the vibe he's super stingy with his work 😭.

"this is the last time i'm going to just give you the answers, y/n." niko sighs out. "you have to start doing your homework by yourself."

niko's said that dozen of times but he's still giving you the answers free of charge. can you guys say #whipped 🤣?

LOL speaking of school, if you ever text him during class, i highly doubt that niko would entertain you 😭😭 (it's out of love, though)

y/n 💗: hiii baby imy 🥰

pretty boy: do your work, y/n.

y/n 💗: ALL I DID WAS SAY HI

pretty boy: pay attention.

y/n 💗: fine ur so lame 👎

pretty boy: whatever you say. i miss you too, by the way.

he likes to moves your hair out your face because he wants to see your pretty face better.

which is why you have to do the same with him 🥰!!!!!! makes him blush like crazy.

gets soooo soft when you post him or even take pictures of you and him together :') just the thought of you wanting to show him off makes him soooo happy.

he won't entertain you if you make a tiktok, though LOL. he's very stubborn in his belief that it's stupid.

just stands in the background with his arms crossed if you try to make him do a dance or something 😭 (he does think you look cute, though).

niko has such nice eyelashes but i doubt he's aware of it 'cause he's, y'know, a boy 🙄.

"my eyelashes are ... cute?" he questions. niko wasn't even aware that such a trivial thing like his eyelashes could be considered cute.

"yes, oh my god," you gush. "they're so long and nice, i wish mine were like that," you groan, examining yours through the camera of your phone.

"you're so weird, y/n," he says, a blush staining his cheeks. "your eyelashes are nicer," he mumbles as he kisses your forehead.

he's one of those people that prefers to be alone, but you're the exception. you know?

niko likes to keep to himself most of the time, but that whole thing doesn't apply to you, because he'd choose to be with you over being alone anytime :')

[dystopiandilfs]

Dream's discord podcast. Basically him answering questions for 2.5 hours. This will sort of be in order but I fucked up my notes so it might not be in order completely. (From 13th May 2021)

For reference the photos at the end are: A prototype of fidget spinner merch as loads of people asked, a reference photo of his favourite merch and a photo he sent of his hair to prove he wasn't a brunette.

•He said his teeth are mostly straight but he's thought about getting Invisalign. He's never had braces. He has a tiny gap in the left side of his mouth and his canines are longer and sharper (vampire arc). He's never had teeth surgery so has his wisdom teeth still.

•He thinks pineapple on pizza is good.

•He likes seafood like lobster and crab. He had crab made in an air fryer last night. He like peas. He thinks quesadillas are good and likes most food.

•He hates Coffee and most drinks

•The Dream Shorts team is Ken who is his personal reminder (Ken's main job is to spam him with texts so he doesn't forget things as he's got a habit of reading texts and not replying) and also comes up with a list of sets for Dream shorts. The builder is a friend and munchymc builder "his talent gets wasted on Dream's shorts but we pay him so"

•His editors are currently Dizzy, Firesale and Mjcr. Willz doesn't edit for him anymore

•The mask animation isn't done but Mask should be released May 21st. He wants to release them together as "the whole song is a double meaning and the whole nuance will be lost without the animation" but no matter if the animation is done the song is getting released on the 21st.

•He and Sapnap eat together often.

•He and Sapnap prefer medium rare Steak

•He wants a home gym it's something he's willing to splurge on. They currently have a weight rack but they haven't even set it up.

•"Eat the rich? Shut up shut up" - Dream

•Talked about money basically saying "Most people don't understand how money works I don't have millions in my bank account it's in assets like merch, land and warehousing for that stuff" (He's not in his landlord arc)

•He's been debating Pride Merch because of Rainbow Capitalism. He doesn't want it too be seen as a money maker and if he does most proceeds would go to charity. He's currently super busy merch wise with Sapnap joining and George in the middle of joining. He did say "Only if the LGBTQ+ community in this community wants it" He thinks he's going to at least change the merch website to a pride one. Sapnap wants to make pride merch including a rainbow flame on his.

•He wants to create a charity that's centered around helping LGBTQ+ one day because he thinks that there's a lack of them. He mentioned that creating a charity was expensive and took a lot and was a complicated process including a board of directors but he wants to do it someday.

•He wanted to buy a bunch of houses in Florida which was a service to house mostly LGBTQ+ youth and people stuck in abusive households for free to get them out of bad home environments. But he didn't because he didn't want people thinking he was profiting of of abuse victims and LGBTQ+ community.

•He said he's terrible with time management and replying to people which is why Ken helps him (and also helps George and Sapnap). He mentioned how Sam messaged multiple times and Dream just forgot to answer but felt bad "I feel like people think I hate them..... Cause I'd be mad if people did that to me"

•He tries to reply to a few texts a day (community number). He also can't do birthday messages everyday because you can only reply at certain times so it's not abusing the system so if you get one it's special. He said he does try but it's got a weird time gap.

•Him and the manhunt winner are trying to come up with a good time to film

•He wants to stream this MCC on twitch and says his team is good.

•He talks about why he's not partnered with Twitch. Basically Twitch has a lock rate (in which you make money) and you legally can't stream on YouTube. So legally if Tommy wanted to stream on YouTube he couldn't. Someone then mentioned how Bad is a twitch partner but still streams on YouTube "Bad streams on YouTube but he has for a while and I don't think that he cares" - Dream

•He likes to reply to every donation he gets on stream and feels bad when he doesn't so he'll turn them off when he streams and wants a platform deal where he can be payed to stream (not twitch). If he gets a streaming partnership he will stream a couple of times a week. He looked in to Facebook but they don't have an alias system meaning you can see everyone's actual Facebook account and personal info, he doesn't like seeing real names on Facebook so it would require a lot of altering if he was to stream there so he's thinking it's probably going to be YouTube.

•He was asked about if his demographic was what he expected and he said he went in with no expectations, he didn't even know what stans were, wasn't really on social media so he wasn't aware of the fan culture. "You guys are a handful sometimes but it's worth it"

•He also mentioned how he and the DreamSMP changed the twitch audience demographic. It used to be male dominated in both streamers and audience and now it's almost split which is unheard on.

•He has 5 fidget spinners in his house. Two in his bedroom. Two in his office. One in the living room.

•He likes his Minecraft skin as he thinks the arm is cook and you never see the rest of his skin really. He says it's unique and different and "me". Dream: You can't even tell half the skins apart on MC.

•He's not lost the motivation to stream. Most of the times if he wants to stream he gets George or Sapnap to do it and he just turns up. It's more beneficial to them as they have donos and subs on. (Don't we fucking know it "can you say hi to")

•He has listened to Lovejoy. Says the ep was great and they're very talented and awesome. Doesn't know what his favourite song is but probably would pick One Day because the chorus slaps.

•RIP to acoustic Roadtrip. He said instead of acoustic Roadtrip we get Mask so no losses today for Dream stans.

•"With Roadtrip I went to Parker and I said Hey I have a story I want to tell through music. I have no experience with that can you help me" He said sure. He crafted the music and melodies and how things are formed where it's catchy. I have less comfort singing that. I love the song and it's my song, it's very representative of me and I'm sure I could sing it but it's a song I'd be kinds of scared to sing live, with Mask I basically did everything. I sat there the entire time and maybe an hour out if the 100 I wasn't in the call. Dream came up with the lyrics and main melody for Mask (First one he's ever come up with) "That was just notes in my fucking voice memos"

•The clip we heard of Mask was a prechorus not the actual chorus. He thinks he'd be more comfortable to do a mask acoustic and it's more melodic than Roadtrip. The chorus also has a lot of instruments similar to Roadtrip. Mask starts of slow and guitar with minimal reverb and is more raw.

• He doesn't want music to be his main thing. It's something fun to do and he's passionate about it as it's a way to express emotions. He wants to release mask then go from there. He wants to release at least one more song but has nothing on his mind currently. His two ideas were Roadtrip and Mask.

•He wouldn't quit his job to become a pizza delivery man.

•His favourite features on himself are eyes or freckles and he also confirmed that he does have eyebrows.

•He was told that Parkour warrior would be bought back some time in the near future and he got excited for it. "Even if I don't win, which I will, it'll be fun"

•Went on about his MCC team but I'm not going to put that in as we should be getting them today. He did say he wasn't on Pink but he did sound confused. (For reference he's always in Pink as it's the last team announced and keeps the hype up by announcing the biggest streamer last)

•Said he and his mum had the Mr Beast burger. He recommends because he likes the avacado. He mentioned how Mr Beast uses "Ghost Kitchens" which is basically where he gives restaurants permission to cook his food so it's restaurant quality food.

•His favourite piece of merch is the circle smile. (The pool photo on Instagram). He said the quality was bad (he worked with a different company and didn't have his own company) and it was elasticy feeling and he's planning on re-releasing it again but with good quality.

•He's started to send merch out in custom packaging. So his bags have the smile and will mostly be green. Sapnap's has the flame and is either black or white. He's also trying to make it so every order has the sticker packs for both him and Sapnap.

•He loves the coins as it's cheaper than a hoodie but still celebrates the milestones and will last a long time. He mentioned how the old coins are getting removed off the site and how if you have any of the coins your special because only a few thousand get made. He's kept around 100 of each coin that he wants to give away in person.

•He wanted to have a cool store where you could access computers that give you access to the DreamSMP in spectator mode. But it's too costly and would require too much time and isn't safe fight now. He doesn't think it'd be worth it financially.

•Most of the hoodie are black instead of multiple colours because of limited supply and covid. Getting the colours are harder because if the pandemic which hopefully won't be an issue soon.

•He wants to do a short meetup tour with Sapnap and George with a few locations in the US (and if others nearby want to join like Quackity or Karl they can). He also wants to visit Australia, UK, Canada, Mexico and Philippines and do something like that there but definitely at least visit with George and Sapnap.

•He's never been to the Philippines but his mum has. He wants to set up a place in the Philippines where he can ship merch in bulk and it would help to reduce shipping. However it would probably be big milestone merch.

•He's not got the vaccine yet but will get it when he needs to. He doesn't leave the house so he doesn't see the point.

•He's the ideas man. George's footcam video was Dream's idea. The T-shirt video was Dream's idea. Most if not all of the Dream Team's videos are Dream's ideas.

•Said he's got a similar/the same hair colour as Froy (Dream buddy at this point the only difference between you and Froy is that one of you is dating Richard Madden /lh)

Pedro Pascal and Lena Headey

Head to head interview

Hunger Magazine, Issue 6. Released December 28, 2014. Photoshoot October 15, 2013.

Thirteen million. That's the number of people, on average, who tuned into each episode of the third season of Game of Thrones. Among them was Chilean actor Pedro Pascal, who was as enthralled by the sex and slaughter as the rest of us. But little did he know that within a few months he'd be pitching up on the shores of Belfast to join the cast as Oberyn Martell, affectionately known as the Red Viper. Sound ominous? It is. The Red Viper is GoTs newest anti-hero, “sexy and charming but driven by hate”. Sounds like he'll be right at home.

Pedro, on the other hand, though he looks good on paper, wasn't the obvious choice for the role. Expecting a big name to ride into King’s Landing, the show's fans took to forums to express their concerns as soon as the news broke. So is he worried? Like hell he is. “The fans had the part cast in their minds already. They knew who they wanted and it certainly was not me. But I'm not stupid, | presumed that people were going to say ‘who the fuck is this guy’. Since I anticipated the reaction it didn't throw me off.”

“There are so many different ways to go into battle with yourself when you're trying to get a job. I felt a certain amount of pressure because I wanted to make everyone happy. The fan base is so specific and, as a fan myself, I understand the relationship that they have with the show. The Red Viper is the best part I've ever played, and in season four shocks come at the most unexpected times. You might think you know, but you have no idea,” he explains.

Looks like the Red Viper could be in line to fill a Walter-White-sized-hole in television, but to test the theory we pit Pascal against Lena Headey, aka the Queen. Because if you can come away from Cersei unscathed, you can handle anything.

LH: So, Pedro, you come into Game of Thrones in season four, playing a pretty major character. Does that fill you with joy or dread?

PP: I'd say it fills me with joy because it’s a really fucking fun part. He’s a badass. He comes up against a lot of the main characters in the show. I'm very aware of the show. I watch it like a fan.

LH: Were you a fan before you arrived in Belfast?

PP: Yeah, I was a proper fan. I was caught up in the drama of it before I even auditioned for the part. I was already up to speed.

LH: I remember meeting you and thinking, “he fucking loves the show’.

PP: I kissed your ass.

LH: Well, it worked. We're friends now.

PP: I was like a tourist visiting the set, and yet I had to act with you and be in a scene with the characters that I had such a specific association with already.

LH: So you’re saying it’s boring?

PP: No, it wasn’t boring at all. It was extremely, relentlessly surreal.

LH: And who were your favourite characters up until that point?

PP: Not you.

LH: I realise that!

PP: There are too many characters to have a favourite, but I was fascinated by the Lannisters because they're so frightening. They scared me and then you would come in and pull sympathy from your audience somehow, and I found that rather fascinating. The Northerners were so easy to like or get behind, but it was quite something to see people sympathise with a Lannister, after you made people see things from their perspective.

LH: Speaking of being slightly ambiguous as a character, you come in as a major player and a very well-loved character in the eyes of people who read the books, and he’s somewhat of an anti-hero. Did you base him on anyone?

PP: What does an anti-hero mean exactly?

LH: It means he doesn't wear deodorant, doesn't it? [Laughs]. Someone you shouldn't champion, but you do, like Walter White in Breaking Bad.

PP: No, | didn’t really base him on anyone.

LH: Did you take anything from classic movies that you thought you could use and spin to your advantage playing the Red Viper?

PP: God, that’s a good question. I probably did subconsciously. Now I feel under the spotlight because I need to think of somebody, and I have so many in my mind! I think that’s something that is happening a lot in TV today: the anti-heroes are central to these television shows, and people are really getting behind them, even though they're not necessarily the most moral characters. So I'd say that ‘ve become more familiar with the character who's obviously very flawed but gets you on their side — you have complicated feelings about them. But I think I saw the story too much from this character's perspective to perceive any flaws.

LH: He has some.

PP: I know, from the outside. But I don't see any of them. What are his flaws?

LH: His flaws? He's a dirty bastard!

PP: Why is he a dirty bastard? He likes to fucking fight, for sure.

LH: Back to you as an actor. You've done it for a long time and, as we all know, the path is not always golden, and sometimes you think, “fuck it” and you want to leave it and do something else. Have there been moments where you wanted to give up?

PP: Yes, there have been moments where I came very close to giving up. But I never had anything to fall back on. I think you can understand that.

LH: Because were stupid?

PP: We're stupid.

LH: I can't even make pizza!

PP: We don’t have any other skills.

LH: None at all!

PP: And that’s the odd conundrum. You get to a point where you think, “This isn’t going to happen. This isn’t sustainable. I'm too exhausted, and it can't be good for me.” There were moments where I truly did try to formulate an idea of what I'd do. I thought I'd go back to school, start pre-med again and go to medical school or something like that.

LH: But that didn't happen, you just thought about it?

PP: Yes, I'd have thoughts, but it was still fantasy really. But at the time it felt like a practical life plan. Do you know what I mean?

LH: Yeah of course, you need to pay the fucking rent.

PP: Exactly. You just try to escape from the chaos of what you're feeling by trying to create order in your life. Order seems like a solution to save you from the pain of acting!

LH: It's a mental pain. Who was the first person you called when you got the role?

PP: My sister.

LH: Does she watch the show?

PP: Yes, she does.

LH: Pedro Pascal... or Pablo as I called you when I had too much wine, which was deeply insulting.

PP: Even family members have done that to me! Do I look more like a Pablo? Because it happens with about ninety-five percent of the people I meet.

LH: No, I think I’m just an ignorant drunk person.

PP: No, you were an ignorant drunk person that night is what you're saying.

LH: And now I’m educated.

PP: [Whispers] But | want you to call me Pablo.

LH: Ok, Pablo! When you first arrived on set in Northern Ireland, what was your feeling showing up to a bunch of British actors? Did it feel different to doing an American project?

PP: Yes, but I loved it. It wasn’t intimidating. I found it surreal because I’d watched and loved the show. I hadn't had the opportunity to work on something that I was really familiar with before, so it was overwhelming. But it was far more delightful than intimidating. Also you guys were really cool. Everyone was friendly.

LH: Oh, that’s just fake.

PP: Well, you guys were good at it!

LH: We know Game of Thrones is very popular obviously. Do you have any thoughts, or fears, about what this is going to bring you in terms of exposure?

PP: I have hope.

LH: Oh, God. I don’t mean to shatter that, but give it up.

PP: I don’t know really. It’s all been filmed, and now I'm back to my normal routine, so I haven't really thought about it. I remember when we finished filming and we were on our way to the airport, you asked me, “How does it feel you're all done?” and I couldn't really answer.

LH: You were quite emotional that day.

PP: I was very emotional because I’d had such an amazing time doing the part. Also just being there immersed in the experience... You described it to me best. You told me how I'd be feeling.

LH: We don't know your character's backstory when you enter the show, and you have some rather brutal scenes. Anyone who has read the books will know what I’m talking about.

PP: My character comes in, he stirs a bunch of shit up, and then he makes this fucking enormous exit. Now can | ask you a question?

LH: What is it? I’m not going to sleep with you. Give it up.

PP: Oh, come on! This has gone to shit and it’s your fault, so good luck to whoever has to edit it! But anyway, sometimes I'd hang out with the cast members and we'd go to dinner and they would get stopped constantly. There was no denying who they played because they were so recognisable, but you got away with it because you have this beautiful blonde wig on in the show, and in real life you are...

LH: Grey?

PP: {Laughs] No! You have beautiful chestnut hair! Is it liberating to not be recognised the way some of the other cast members are?

LH: Yes, it is liberating.

PP: Liberating being able to walk down an alley in Dubrovnik without being stopped?

LH: Yes, except sometimes | get recognised in the weirdest places. A woman was emptying my bag at Heathrow Airport's security gates and just went, “Are you the Queen?” while rummaging through my underwear. It was so fucking weird.

PP: It seems they're more respectful to you?

LH: Because they're frightened. Wait until they meet the Viper.

PP: Well, that covers it.

LH: I think we're going to get our own show out of this, you know

Bucky

It’s a little like whiplash, one minute Bucky is in Steve’s arms, pressed against the elevator wall, getting his mind blown by Steve’s giant hands on his bare skin and his giant dick rutting into Bucky’s, hips rocking into Bucky’s, and the next minute there’s a crash and Steve is gripping Bucky tight and shielding him with his body.

Bucky could be mistaken, he is a little hungover, but it looks like Iron Man has just landed on the roof of their elevator. Presumably to save them from the terror of being trapped at the very high height between the first and second floor.

Except Iron Man - Tony Stark, even Bucky knows who Tony Stark is - is looking at them both with a very pleased expression and seems to be leering in at them through the service cover.

'Well well well,' Stark says, shaking his head, 'I leave you alone for five minutes.'

Bucky may be having a hullicinatory episode.

‘Tony, I mean,’ Steve looks down at Bucky, at the pink ‘groom’ t-shirt and the ring on his finger - down at his own much smaller, matching blue ‘Elvis said we do!’ t-shirt - and then back up at the superhero peering in at them. He steps back and carefully lowers Bucky to a standing position, but keeps one giant hand on his waist. ‘I guess this is actually exactly what it looks like.’

‘Oh I know,’ Stark says, boosting himself up by his rockets (wowowow, Bucky is four feet from the most advanced piece of mechanical engineering in the United States right now) and hovering through the hole and into the elevator, ‘it’s all over twitter, genius.’

‘Oh shit,’ Bucky says, ripping the phone he had put on silent (because fucking Darcy would not stop texting him) and sees way too many missed calls from his sister. One from his mother.

The texts from Darcy are still rolling in.

‘Twitter? You flew all the way here because a bunch of people twittered about this?’ Steve’s voice had dropped to a tone that Bucky doesn’t recognise but oh, he likes it.

‘Tweeted,’ Stark says, shaking his head.

Steve narrows his eyes, and the sweet open face that Bucky has been staring at all morning suddenly morphs into something much more menacing.

If Bucky hadn’t just come in his pants he'd be in trouble - as it is he can feel his heart rate picking up again at the effortless authority Steve is exuding. Okay fuck, now that’s he’s thinking about it, his dick is perking up and no, no, no. This is not the time.

Please do not let this situation get any more weird than it already is.

‘Tony, what are you doing here?’

Iron Man - looming huge in his suit in the tiny elevator - takes a small step back from Steve, and doesn’t seem confident when he answers, ‘Rescuing you?’

‘From what?’ Steve asks, ice cold.

‘From being stuck in a broken elevator?’

‘Bullshit,’ Steve says, less cold, more heat this time.

‘Uh, okay, look, full disclosure, I flew here in the quinjet to make sure that Thor hadn’t addled your brain with his god juice and left you to get yourself vegas married to a gold digger,’ he looks over at Bucky, whom Steve tightens his grip on, moving his body further between Stark and Bucky with zero subtlety, ‘seems like I maybe underestimated how literally you would take my advice to do something crazy.’

Steve is shaking his head in a sharp, hard, definitive no.

Bucky is letting him do all the talking, having a… not a great memory of what had gone down the night before (flashes of images, feelings, sounds. An overwhelming sense of comfort and happiness. Contentment… but no real basis from which those emotions have stemmed) and also this is Tony Stark, Iron Man… and Bucky isn't really sure what to do with that.

Just staying out of it seems like the wisest course.

Steve, in lieu of using his words, chooses to reach past Bucky and depress the emergency button.

‘Woah, hey!’ Stark says, grabbing at the wall as the elevator starts to move.

‘Don’t you have something rich and important you should be doing, Tony.’

‘Okay, I’m getting the impression that you’re not that happy to see me.’

‘Gee, you have some real keen observational skills,’ Steve snaps.

‘Look-’

‘With all due respect, Mister Stark-’ Bucky starts.

‘Mister Stark was my father kid,’;

‘Mister Iron Man,’ Bucky says, heavy on the sarcasm, ‘This has nothing to do with you.’

‘Listen Kid,’

‘Bucky,’ Steve corrects him.

‘Bucky?’

Bucky doesn’t bother to nod, he lets Steve’s glare do his talking.

‘That’s a name?’ Stark’s lip is raised in a grimace.

‘It’s a great name,’ Steve has his shoulders squared and his Jaw lifted and he looks suddenly one hundred percent a man not to be questioned.

Bucky can’t help the smile spreading across his face. Doesn’t even want to.

‘Steve, you can’t be serious about this.’

The elevator comes to a stop on their floor and Steve’s grip on Bucky loosens as the doors open.

‘Excuse us, Tony.’

‘Steven Grant Rogers you are trending. There’s photos of you in this ridiculous T-Shirt all over the internet. We need to do damage control!’

‘What’s wrong with his T-shirt?’ Bucky asks, hands on his hips as he lets Steve lead him out of the elevator with a gently hand on his lower back. ‘Are you being self righteous about Elvis, or about the fact that Steve married a guy?’

‘Hey now,’ Stark says from the elevator, ‘I’m mad that he didn’t know you yesterday and today you’ve got matching rings on your fingers.’

‘And?’

‘And that's… Not normal!’

Both Steve and Bucky turn around at Stark’s words.

‘When, Tony, in your entire life, have you ever aspired to be normal?’ Steve asks, standing to Bucky’s right and crossing his lovely arms over his very large chest.

Tony Stark has his mouth halfway open, his eyebrows pinching into a ‘v’ over his narrowed eyes, standing in the doorway of the elevator as the doors move in and out like a concertina at the obstruction.

‘Am I a grown man, Tony?’ Steve asks.

Stark rolls his eyes at the question.

‘Have I ever once interrupted you or questioned your life choices in the middle of a romantic interlude.’

‘Interlude? Steve, come on.’

‘Have. I. Ever?’

‘Okay, no-’

Bucky’s phone rings for the thousandth time - his mother again - and, as fascinating as it is to watch Tony Stark get his ass handed to him by a man that might really actually be Bucky’s husband - his husband - they probably do need to take a step into reality for a second.

‘Steve?’ he says, interrupting the argument and drawing both sets of eyes his way, ‘I think maybe we need to, maybe have a quick chat and ah… make some decisions?’

Steve’s face freezes, then smoothes out to as close an approximation to expressionless as Bucky has seen it all morning.

It looks wrong. It looks… like a mask.

Steve nods his head slowly, his shoulders creeping up before he forces them back down, taking a deep breath.

Stark starts talking before Steve can say a word, ‘I think that’s wise, Kid, I have some questions-’

‘Not you,’ Bucky says, shaking his head at Stark, ‘If we need you, we’ll call you, Mister Iron Man.’

Stark lifts a finger to point it at Bucky, his suit suddenly receding like magic and shrinking into a cuff on his wrist, ‘Listen-’

‘Give us some time please, Tony.’

Stark looks between Steve and Bucky and back again. He narrows his eyes at Steve and then nods once. ‘Okay. You have ten minutes.’

Steve glares at Stark again but doesn't protest. He turns away and leads Bucky the few steps back to his room and opens the door for him.

‘Should we… did you want to sit? Or…?’

‘We can sit,’ Bucky says, sinking down into the couch in the lounge area of the suite.

‘Are you… can I…’ Steve looks so lost as he takes a seat next to Bucky, mirroring Bucky’s slight angle, their knees facing towards each other.

‘I want to ask you something,’ Bucky says, palms on his thighs, swallowing awkwardly. Wishing he had a clean pair of pants to change into.

Steve just nods, his mask slipping further and further away as his face pales and he shrinks into himself.

‘How much of this is real?’

Steve’s face cracks, he winces, something like pain, and it cuts into Bucky. Slices at him. He doesn't know this man - at least… he doesn’t remember why he knows him, or how he knows him, but the pain on Steve’s face reaches in and pulls at something in Bucky and it hurts.

‘For me?’ Steve asks.

Bucky isn’t sure that’s what he was asking, but he nods, because he wants to know the answer regardless.

‘All of it,’ Steve whispers.

Bucky has to take a deep breath. Has to steal himself.

‘I want… I want it to be real for me too.’

Steve’s eyes snap up to Bucky’s.

‘I mean, it feels real.’ Bucky twists at the ring in his finger. Feels the texture of the metal, solid against his skin.

Real.

‘It feels like… not a mistake,’ Bucky says.

He’s trying and maybe failing to explain this right. But whatever he’s doing, it might be working, because Steve is staring at him, not breathing, not moving, but there’s colour back in his cheeks, and he starts leaning slowly closer and closer as Bucky continues.

‘I woke up and thought, you know, maybe I’d just gotten lucky enough to spend a night with the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen in my life... and then,’ Bucky looks back down at his ring, ‘and then I saw this, and I thought… fuck. I thought I’d won the lottery maybe, or somehow dreamt my fantasies into reality. And you…’ Bucky looks back up at Steve and his eyes… His eyes are so cool and blue and limitless. Everything Bucky ever needed or wanted is reflected there back at him. ‘You feel like home to me.’

‘You feel like home to me too, Buck.’

‘And you… you want to stay married to me?’

Steve nods.

‘Even if it turns out I’m a complete disaster?’

‘Especially then’ Steve says, a smile spreading across his face, reaching his eyes, crinkling them at the corners.

‘No, I’m serious, I’m awful.’

Steve shakes his head and Bucky nods, emphatic.

‘No, listen, I’m a mess. My refrigerator is full of cheap beer and canned cheese, and one jar of twenty year old mayo.’

Steve is laughing but Bucky won’t have it, he needs Steve to understand the total dumpster fire that he has unwittingly attached himself to.

‘No, Steve, my bed is so covered in bike parts right now I’m sleeping on the floor.’

‘I sleep on the floor every night, Bucky.’ Steve has reached out and stopped Bucky’s hands flying through the air, is holding them, bringing them to rest against their knees between them.

‘You do?’

‘I do,’ Steve says, fond and sad all at once, ‘first time I’ve slept in a long time was here with you last night.’ He looks over at the rumpled sheets on the bed, the bed where Bucky and Steve woke up wrapped around each other.

It hits Bucky that, if they’re married, are they supposed to move in together? Where would they even live?

‘I live above my shop, Steve,’ Bucky says, panic making his voice squeak.

‘It’s not a problem, Bucky, we don’t have to work everything out all at once.’

‘But I… It’s like two rooms and a toilet.’

‘My apartment is just an empty space Shield gave me to live in because I had nowhere else to go.’

Bucky’s body is moving before his brain even realises. ‘Baby, no,’ he says, pulling one of his hands free and reaching up to cup Steve’s cheek, ‘your apartment is a shitty walk up over a bike mechanic with no space and the kitchen from hell.’ He runs his thumb over Steve’s perfect cheekbone. ‘We just need to move your stuff in.’

‘I’m a terrible cook anyway,’ Steve says, huffing a laugh.

‘See?’ Bucky says with an exaggerated sigh, leaning his head in to rest against Steve’s forehead, ‘it’s meant to be.’

‘I know you’re joking, but I honestly believe that.’

‘Who says I’m joking?’ Bucky smiles as Steve laughs. ‘So what do we need to do to get all this finalised? I’m gonna need to call my mother back at some stage.’

That snaps Steve into action, he sits up straight and pulls Bucky with him, so that Bucky is almost sitting in his lap.

‘We need to get the paperwork off Mavis, we need to get our stuff, and then I guess we need to figure out whether the license is even legal outside of the state of Nevada.’

‘Well,’ Bucky says, moving himself fully into Steve’s lap and swinging a leg over to straddle him, ‘I can think of one way to make it legal.’

‘You don’t have time for that!’ Stark yells from outside the door.

‘Goddamn it Tony!’ Steve yells back.

Bucky is laughing, he can’t help it. And Steve is laughing with him. Bucky’s head falls onto Steve’s shoulder and Steve rests his palm against the nape of Bucky’s neck. Safe and familiar and blanketing him in warmth. It feels like the kind of comfort that Bucky has spent his whole life searching for.

‘We better go.’

Bucky nods his head as much as the limited space will allow. They both pull away slowly, reluctantly. But they’re smiling now. The air around them is full of promise.

Happiness.

Even Tony Stark and his ugly tracksuit and his disapproving glare can’t dampen it.

‘Where now?’

‘To the chapel,’ Steve says, pulling Bucky along by the hand and smiling ridiculously wide.

‘To file for annulment?’

‘No Tony.’

‘To pick up the wedding album,’ Bucky says with a laugh. He’s not even sure where the thought came from, but it’s vivid, a hot pink vinyl album cover, Bucky can see it. It has to be a memory.

Steve is looking back at him and smiling, somehow, impossibly wider.

‘Jesus Christ on a cracker,’ Stark says, rolling his eyes, feet shuffling to keep up with them.

They all ride down the elevator together, Steve and Bucky practically glued at the hip and Stark shaking his head at them the entire way.

It’s objectively hilarious. Bucky is holding back his laughter, but the smirk is surely stuck fast to his face.

They make it to the Casino floor, wind their way through the mostly empty gaming rooms and dance floors to a familiar set of swinging doors under a garish ‘Wedding Chapel’ sign, where a strangely familiar man is leaning against the wall only to jump up and shout as he sees them approach.

'Cap!'

'Scott,' Steve replies, much more subdued.

'Hey, Bucky,' he says, looking Bucky's way, then doing a double take as he spots Tony Stark. 'Hey! Iron Man!'

'Who is this?' Stark asks, turning to Steve, 'Steven, who is this?'

'Hey, I'm Scott,' Scott says, reaching out a hand for Stark to shake, then pulling back with a shrug when Stark makes no move to accept it.

'Scott was our best man, Tony,' Steve says, smug and smiling.

Scott looks a little like he might faint at the title, but he pulls it together, nodding along like an excited puppy.

'Oh, Bucky, I sent you the video like you asked. And then I saw all the internet stuff this morning and I thought, well I just thought, you know… did you guys need anything? A getaway van? I don't know. I know a guy, you know?'

'We're okay,' Steve says, calm and relaxed in the face of Scott's exuberance. But Bucky’s too busy checking his phone to hear anymore.

A video.

Of the wedding.

He finds the text from Scott (whose contact info he must have entered as ‘Scott - Cap?’ last night). Opens the video file and watches it like a starving man staring through the windows of a restaurant as the images load and it starts to play.

He can feel Stark leaning over his shoulder but he doesn't care.

It's there. In colour.

Steve and Bucky, at the altar. Elvis between them, Scott filming from the side, a woman Bucky recognises - Mavis, his brain helpfully supplies - beautiful blonde beehive and rockabilly skirt and everyone is smiling. Laughing.

And Bucky remembers.

He remembers standing there next to Steve. Remembers reading his vows from a tiny scrap of pink paper, remembers Steve saying Bucky was his fate, sliding the ring onto his finger.

Bucky looks down at it now, touches it reverently. 'For we are but two halves,' he says, remembering the inscription, the way it had felt so perfect. He looks back up at Steve, who is watching Bucky, waiting for something, eyes shining. 'Together whole.'

And Steve crashes into him, clutches at Bucky, pulling him close and pressing their lips together.

'You remember,' he says between kisses, running his nose against Bucky’s nose, cupping his face in his hands, 'You remember.'

And Bucky just clutches him back. Kisses him back. Just as desperate, just as joyful. 'I remember everything, Steve-Steve Rogers.' He presses his hands against Steve’s chest. Against the beat of his heart. The most beautiful part of him. 'We danced together. We've been dancing together from the very beginning.'

'Always,' Steve says. Oblivious to their audience, to Scott's squeals and Stark's scoffs.

To the crowd gathering around them.

'Forever.' Bucky whispers it. Barely a word. But he knows Steve can hear it. Knows it will thrill him.

Means it, as crazy as that seems.

They both do.

And they have the rest of their lives to make it the truth.
