#i mean i suppose he'd do it if his partner asked but... he wouldn't enjoy it i think

[oldfriendsseniortwittersanctuary]

Obviously people can do whatever they want in their fanfic forever, but whenever I see wyllstarion or any Wyll pairing where he is a dom like... no... i don't buy it. He is like the stereotypical psychological profile of a sub (extremely controlled in public at all times). I don't care about topping or bottoming, and I'm not saying the characters Wyll is paired with are doms, just that Wyll ain't.

hi jade! if you wouldn’t mind, could i please request something and hotch with a partner who’s a little emotionally closed off? like who’s kind of blunt and off putting but around him they’re a little gentler than usual, if that makes sense? thank you!

thanks for requesting ♡

“I don't think so,” you're saying, little inflection nor emotion in your words, “I don't suppose it's very appropriate. I'm going to go now.” 

Hotch hears stammering and then your footsteps, unhurried up the steps and across the landing to his office. You knock on his ajar door and wait for him to say, “Come in,” before crossing the threshold. 

“Can you peer review this for me, please?” you ask. 

Hotch puts his pen in the holder to look at you. He doesn't mind saying to himself that you're his sweetheart (quite enjoys it, actually) and that you look nice today, as you always do, though there's nothing in particular about you that would make it so. You're cute at a baseline. He'd tell you if you weren't at work. 

He honestly still considers it. “Of course,” he says, putting out his hand. You pass the folder. 

Peer review is supposed to be done by your peers, and you're past the freshness that requires them so often, but if Hotch hadn't spent as long as he did reviewing your case input, you wouldn't be as close as you are. He doesn't mind checking it over. You stand in front of his desk and set about neatening up the small mess he's made without comment. 

“What's not very appropriate?” he asks finally. 

“What do you mean?” you ask, turning the handle of his coffee mug toward him. 

He pauses to write a comment in the margin of your work. You smile as he looks up, a small, apprehensive thing. 

“A minute ago, you told someone something was inappropriate.” 

“Peter asked me on a date.” 

Hotch feels his eyebrows rise of their own accord. “Right.” 

“He wanted to go see a concert together. Like, a rock band. He's someone's dream guy, I'm sure.” 

He laughs at the accidental slight. You don't react, straightening a pen in the holder and stepping back, satisfied at a job well done. “It's not inappropriate for him to ask you on a date,” Hotch says.

He's not mad, not scolding, just making conversation. He could talk to you for hours uninterrupted, but you aren't talkative unless he prompts you. 

“It's not appropriate because I'm already taken.” 

“He doesn't know that.” 

“I never said he did…” You glance at his door. There's no one coming up the stairs. “Can I come around?” 

“Mm.” He holds out his arm, quickly finishing his assessment of your work. You round the desk and step into his touch. 

“Should I have been nicer?” 

“You were perfectly civil. No need for nice.” You start to relax. Your tight shoulders drop and your hand brushes his thigh as you lean in. “You okay?” 

“I'm okay, Aaron. Today has felt very long,” you say, near murmuring. You turn your face toward his and close your eyes. 

He pulls you in snugly to his side, giving you a moment to breathe. Outside the office, a cacophony of chatter and ringing phones sounds, but here, there's little more than the quiet huff of your breath and the brush of his thumb rubbing a small circle into your blazer. 

“How are you today?” you ask, still quiet. 

“I'm okay. Thinking about buying tickets to a rock concert.” 

Your lips touch briefly to his shoulder. He can feel the heat of it on his skin, a memory rather than the real thing. 

“Do you want to come over tonight?” he asks. 

You're stopped from answering by the approach of footsteps up the stairs. You pull away and turn your gaze to his desk as Hotch picks up your folder and passes it back to you. It's completely natural, no hint of intimacy as Emily knocks the door as you'd done. 

She smiles at you both. “Hi. I'm having trouble with my payslip again and human resources won't fix it until you approve the ticket.” 

Hotch frowns. “That's not ideal.” What he means to say is, that's ridiculous. 

You thank him for the peer review and excuse yourself. Emily touches your hand as you go, asking, “You want to get lunch with me?”

“No, you like the wrong places. You can have half of my sandwich.” Hotch knows you like being her friend, and he can't help laughing at your answer. 

“The wrong places?” Emily mouths. 

He can only shrug. “They're specific.”

“That's one word for it.”

Do you have an hcs for Claude with an angel partner??

I ABSOLUTELY DO!!!!!

claude faustus x angel! s/o

-------------

🕷️honestly, i know claude's a demon and everything, but i can't see him hating angels really. like how demons and grim reapers are supposed to hate each other, claude seemed kinda indifferent when grell pulled up after alois (:c) died. he's just indifferent

🕷️however, once you two actually started seeing each other more often, he would come to like your company

🕷️once he realized he felt some twinge of "love" around you though, he would start to ignore you and/or be kinda mean to you

🕷️regardless of how he feels about angels, he does NOT think they can be companions with demons; that eradicates the entire point of angels and demons, they are opposites!

🕷️i can imagine he would say something really hurtful to purposely push you away and it would work, you wouldn't come around anymore because claude made it crystal clear you weren't needed or wanted

🕷️he would wonder about you after some time, because you had become part of his daily routine, and since you weren't around anymore, there were no jokes to laugh at, no playful glances, and a lot of time to himself

🕷️he WOULD realize that this is what the humans would call "missing somebody" (wtf??? bros confused)

🕷️claude would then begin searching for you, after putting alois to bed. he'd prolly find you by a river or something, skipping rocks or picking flowers

🕷️would call out to you, and when you see him (depending on if you choose to ignore him or not) you would stand up and make some dirty look at him and ask what he wants, or saying you were just leaving the spot you were in; he can have it all to himself

🕷️claude's unfortunately a bit too prideful to admit a mistake, so he won't outright apologize

🕷️he WILL, however, tell you that he did enjoy your time spent together, and that he may slightly regret tossing you out

🕷️he would wait for sum type of response from you, hoping you would come back to him

-onto the real hcs now!!!!-

🕷️claude wouldn't say it to your face, but he thinks you're so beautiful. like claude picked up a painting hobby and his tiny little paint room at the estate is just canvases littered with you all over them

🕷️he does think of you very fondly, and very highly as well

🕷️he would go around the garden at the estate, picking flowers for you and placing them on your wings if you aren't looking

🕷️did i mention, he thinks you're a real stunner? i know i said this before, but like. i gotta emphasize, you are quite literally the point definition of beauty to him, he's never seen a creature so....nice to look at

🕷️he will show you love through his actions, never daring to say 'i love you' out loud, especially to an angel

🕷️little poems he scribbled down, placing them around your shared space, those doily things he was making in the garden to wear on your wings, he would make flower crowns for you. claude really just likes showing love through small actions

🕷️(he thinks love is kinda cringe but he DOES love you, just doesn't wanna say it)

Hiii! Always glad to see new dbd blogs!!

May i request Wraith, Nurse, Joey and Susie with a big tryhard s/o, who's pretty much throwing the game the moment they know it's them? Like they are a pain in the ass for every other killer, but for those they r just going around giving free hits n' hooks, never finishing gens, following the killer around and so on.

Feel free to skip this one if u don't feel comfortable writing it and good luck!! I'll be looking forward for all of your future posts :D

so glad to see you too! i hope i don't disappoint with my posts <33

Philip Ojomo / The Wraith:

Philip is always confused about it, to be honest. He knows you do it because you love him — that, he'd never be confused about. It's the fact that you let him kill you every time…Ultimately, though, he supposes that he prefers that over someone else killing you. He needs to protect you, and if this is the way he has to do it, then he'll accept it.

He does enjoy the help, though, like when you block exits for others when he uncloaks behind all of you. He likes sending you to be with the other survivors for just that reason. And to make sure you don't accidentally blow his cover.

Or he'll use you to draw out the others by either leaving you down or putting you on a hook. He cloaks and stays nearby to wait for your signal. That, and he prefers being close to you to watch out for you.

He will insist on you staying behind him when he's chasing everyone else around, to make sure you don't get in his way. Both so he doesn't hurt you when you don't expect it, and to ensure precision against everyone else.

He's always especially protective of you around other killers. He knows your antics must make you a popular target for the more aggressive of them. He's always looking out for you.

Sally Smithson / The Nurse:

Sally wishes you wouldn't offer yourself up for sacrificing, at least not so easily. She loves you and prefers not to hurt you. But she will, if you want it. She appreciates that you're willing to do anything to help her get ahead.

She will ask that you stay out of the way while she works, she rathers you stay out of danger until it's necessary. She saves you for last.

She does enjoy seeing you take a break from other trials with her, more free to run around and do what you like. She finds it sweet that you trust her so much.

She feels a bit bad when she blinks away from you on accident, and always looks back to check on you. She always does her best not to leave you too far behind, she doesn't like making you catch up with her.

It does make her feel quite special knowing you give all the other killers a hard time, and only give wins to her. She's not used to so much devotion from somebody. Loyalty. It means so much to her, honestly.

Joey / The Legion:

Joey loves it, because it gives him so many opportunities to show off, both to you and to other survivors, by getting you in on the trick he wants to pull off. He is delighted having a partner who'll just hand trials to him, it fuels his ego.

He will specifically tell you to give everyone else a hard time, knowing you’re already doing that and would just do it anyway. He just likes to encourage you. Plus, he kind of likes seeing all the other killers’ blood boil over how much of an ass you are. It makes him proud.

He kinda likes having a groupie that follows him around and helps him with kills. It brings him back to his brief days in Ormond before being taken into the fog: where he felt like he was on top of the world for killing someone, taking matters into his own hands.

He’ll use you to screw with the other survivors, try to earn their trust by seeming like he doesn’t have a favorite, downing and hooking you in front of them, only to viciously betray that little bit of trust he’d taken just minutes later.

It does amuse him when you try to be a pain before you realize it’s him in your trial. When you smack into and taunt the mysterious killer, you'll hear him chuckle a bit. He gives you a headstart before running after you, still laughing a little.

Susie Lavoie / The Legion:

Susie honestly finds it adorable that you'll do anything to give her a win but give every other killer such a hard time, it makes her feel special and she loves that. It sends her into a very huggy giggle fit when she sees you being such a pain in the ass for everyone else.

She probably uses it to tease other killers. "Well, if you weren't so mean, maybe you'd catch a break!" — things like that. She knows it's not true, she just hopes it frustrates them even more.

Like Joey, she really enjoys showing off in front of you by mindgaming other survivors, catching them off guard, mori'ing them. Anything she thinks you'll be impressed by during a trial, she'll do it and will always be looking over at you and waving.

She'll often ask you to go scout out where the other survivors are in a trial and sell them out to her, because she knows she can count on you to help her.

She always thanks you for taking hits very sweetly, and will thank you with a kiss when she throws you onto a hook. If there are other survivors alive, she'll hang around for a little while to make sure nobody comes to save you. And to chat.

The request

Fyodor

Please if you don't feel comfortable with nsfw/nsft content do not read this

Bsd masterlist

Enjoy!

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

After sex he is usually exhausted so don't expect any aftercare.

He will hold you to sleep if you ask nicely though, after all who could refuse you?

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

His: he doesn't think which body part of his is his favourite really.

Yours: your hips are hypnotising for him and your face, the faces you make whenever you're close but he won't let you finish is what drives him to do what he does.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

He's also someone who would prefer to cum inside of you.

If you are opposed to the idea when will cum all over that pretty face of yours.

You could also swallow it.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

He doesn't have any.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

I don't believe he slept with anyone before you, he doesn't have much time (and energy) to sleep around.

He does know a lot 'bout sex though don't get me wrong he just never slept with anyone.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

He is dominant he just prefers to do it from below.

So it's usually you riding him but he's kinda like dominating it that makes sense.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

He's always serious even during sex.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

He doesn't shave cuz again, it's a waste of his time, but he might trim it from time to time.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

It depends on his mood really, sometimes he's more intimate than others but over all he isn't the intimate type.

He doesn't really know how to be romantic and he doesn't care to learn.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

He doesn't have a high sex drive and he's pretty busy so he won't jack off as he is busy working away.

His mind does wonder places from time to time but he tries not to give into temptation.

If he does jack off then that means he couldn't focus and longer or he wanted you to walk in on him.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

He's into bdsm no questions asked.

He's sadistic, he's into knife play.

He isn't an experimental kind so don't think you'll be trying out new kinks everytime you two sleep together.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

The bedroom. He can't really risk being seen doing it with his partner so he'd rather just stick to his room.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

There aren't many things that turn him on.

Maybe if you kneel infront of him with glossy eyes or tears down your cheeks.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

No extra party.

Its only you and him, no one else.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

He prefers receiving.

He just adores the sight of you choking on his cock while his hand is entangled in your hair.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

He doesn't go too fast but he makes it up in roughness.

His weak and feeble body has a harder time going fast in bed but it doesn't mean he can't be rough.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

He isn't opposed to them, he doesn't always has the time to properly sleep with you and quickies are the only option or the two of you are in a hurry but can't wait till the thing is over so what else are you supposed to do?

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Well yeah, the knives and stuff.

He wouldn't put any of you in real danger so don't worry you won't die!

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

1-2 rounds, if he's got enough energy than up to to three.

He works all day and has no time to eat or get proper exercise so what do you expect.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

He doesn't have any and doesn't plan on using any.

Maybe if you get some he'll use them on you to get you close but never quite right where you'd want to be.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

He's a big tease, he doesn't really like being teased and practically despises it but yk everyone's a hypocrite one way or another.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

He's quiet but he encourages you to be voice your pleasure.

You will get the odd moans here and there but mostly they're low and he would moan in your ear.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

He's into foreplay, idk if I should add that to the kink part but it's too late.

He doesn't say this verbally but laying with you in bed after sex is one of his favourite parts of his day.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

I still don't feel comfortable describing dick.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

He has a low sex drive and his mind is usually wondering places so he doesn't have time for sex drive.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

He tries to fall asleep after you but he gets really tired after sex so he's out cold for a while.

He always looks so peaceful in his sleep.

[bunitivity]

I need to talk about zosopp so badly, long wall of text incoming!!! Sorryyy <:3

They are my comfort pairing and tbh goals

I need to tell you about Usopp being very clingy and touchy and gosh they hold hands so much but really most of the time it's so that Zoro doesn't get lost and it's pretty comforting for the sniper.

I need to tell u about it's (mostly) one sided awkwardness and how despite being so touch starved Usopp freaks out about kissing and touching and gets really shy he starts blabbering nonsense and it feels like he'll never get used to how small his hand feels in Zoro's and how much tougher the older's skin is and how it looks a lot oaler compared to his own tone and---!!!

And Zoro's not one to get shy about the touching. He doesn't really see anything special about it (why of course just because it's not a big deal for him he still respects Usopp's boundaries) but whenever he feels they haven't interacted in a while outside if simple tasks, small battles or insignificant misadventures he will start thinking about how he could show affection to his partner and remind him that he loves him because of course Usopp needs to hear it a lot (even if Zoro believes word's don't do much, they seem to have a big impact on his boyfriend, so he'll keep doing it.) So he ends up with flowers. Usopp likes flowers, right? He has a whole freaking garden (or not much of a garden, but still, a seperate flowerbed) of plants. Even though they're not very flowery, he'd still like flowers, right? When they dock on an island, it couldn't hurt to get him a few daisies, as pretty as him. 2 is too little. 3...sounds practical, but still...Definitely not 4. 6 should do...Well, no, maybe 8? Urgh, even 10 still feel like a small amount.

Every flower Zoro ever tried to bring to Usopp died in the ugliest way possible. The petals would fall and leaves would break and if he ever had to carry it for longer than a minute or so it would get all wrinkly and crumpled no matter how gently he tried to hold it. He must be cursed! But once Usopp had found a forgotten by Zoro flower in his pocket and found it too beautiful to throw away, even in that condition. So he put it in his sketchbook as a decoration. Though he didn't know ut was supposed to be a gift to him (a failed gift) he still enjoyed it. And he kept sometimes finding other flowers in Zoro's pockets for a while and took them for himself too, finally realizing that, perhaps, they were meant for him in the first place. Which sounded really romantic and funny to him: Zoro bringing him flowers. Though later, Usopp would talk to him about how it's better to buy plants in pots, since they live longer, suffer less and look much more beautiful and bring more happiness, when they're in a healthier environment. Zoro nodded, Usopp knows better.

ARGHHH how I'm so crazy about zosopp angst. Usopp constantly using Zoro as his role model, trying to be brave and strong like him, which often leaves him overthinking. He's very used to being more excited, creative, carefree. He wouldn't want to limit himself to Zoro's level of self-expression. He doesn't think he needs to necessarily, but he's awfully insecure about being interesting to Zoro.

Which, if you ask the swordsman, is a really stupid reason to worry about because Usopp is his silly little guy and that's fucking awesome!!! Because Zoro has a small thing (which I ,personally, suffer from as well) when he doesn't really show much positive emotion. What I mean is, of course he smiles when he gets excited or if he sees or hears something funny, and of course he CAN smile just because, but his neutral face is just very very grumpy, as if he's always serious and responsible (which of course he's not, he only seems reasonable when it's just him and his captain) and really it makes things so complicated sometimes, because he doesn't intend on ruining the mood and making a conversation awkward during the small time him and his boyfriend have on their so called "dates" but Usopp still does feel pressured looking at him sometimes and it makes Zoro really cringe at his lack of control over his face, but really, he'd rather look a little grumpy than make a face straight out of a horror movie ( me too man)

And then there's Usopp comforting Zoro on how he's not upset at all, and how he loves him a lot and it's just them getting used to eachother being so close. Because you never know, even if you've been friends for so long, there's still something that might come up later, and that's okay, as long as you try to make it work. Usopp genuinely loves Zoro: the way he talks, what he says, what he does. And in the end, he will do his best to return this love, so that they both can feel at peace.

And then there's Zoro comforting Usopp about how he is fine as he is. And that he LOVES, absolutely ADORES him. That he loves his jokes and the way he talks, that he doesn't mind listening, because he prefers listening, that Usopp genuinely makes him laugh and that he wouldn't want to change that for the world. He genuinely loves *him* and that's okay to be yourself, because Zoro needs him as he is. And because Zoro believes in him. So Zoro makes sure Usopp always believes in himself, honestly believes. Zoro remembers, because Usopp made a promise to him. And he wouldn't be a real warrior if he broke it, wouldn't he?

Ah zosopp my beloved! I really feel you about the zosopp angst usopp would be constantly comparing himself to zoro even though they have completely different strengths and fighting styles. Usopps skills don’t really require big muscles the same way zoros who often have to go toe to toe with powerful opponents who rely on brute strength. The fact that usopp is always forced into close combat despite being a long distance fighter is the reason why he often comes off as weak. The two times he gets to shine(ennies lobby/dressrosa) are when he gets to do exactly what he’s meant to do and both times he exceeds expectations. Something that I’m sure zoro will very bluntly reminds him about lol.

I really love the idea of zoro bringing usopp flowers that’s so cute and him randomly just finding flowers in his pants (and zoros pockets lmao) makes me🥺 so I had to draw it

Fears of a Wishmaster

Just wanted to take a moment to examine everything from Prismo's perspective. This has clearly been a lot for him too, so he should have a moment to reflect.

Enjoy y'all! I think next chapter will either be Luna meeting the Organizer (and Orbo, unfortunately), or Scarab not understanding how babies work and being upset about it.

Word Count: 2,400

There were a couple of benefits of being an incorporeal dream. Prismo didn't need to bother himself with the upkeep of mortality. He didn't need to drink or eat, although he could indulge if he wanted. He wasn't bound by what was "physically" possible, meaning he wasn't bound by dimension or size or gravity.

He also didn't need to sleep.

How ironic would it be for a dream to sleep?

Most of the time, Prismo didn't care for sleep. He couldn't really justify it, not when a wish maker could come in at any moment and interrupt it.

But... well, there were sometimes, especially in the midst of his grief fueled depression, that sleep seemed like the perfect gift of the universe.

Prismo wasn't sure where his feelings on the topic landed tonight. He was exhausted. Emotionally and mentally exhausted.

But he couldn't sleep.

Not as he curled around his little family. Him staying awake was the only thing that convinced his self-destructive partner, the one still bound by mortal needs, to finally sleep. And Glob knows when the last time Scarab slept was.

Scarab was at least soundly sleep, pressing his body against Prismo like a warming rock.

A soft coo drew his attention to the little bundle in his arms. He gave a wobbly smile as he leaned down to press a soft kiss to the little face that was also sound asleep. Asleep, but with their tiny secondary hands firmly wrapped around Scarab's finger.

Tonight had been rough. But Luna made it worth it.

But oh, dear Glob, had tonight been rough.

Actually, this entire process had been rough.

It just started as Scarab feeling under the weather. It was strange, he admitted that, but that was understandable. Sure, it was an odd illness that made the beetle much more hostile than he had been in decades, made him very clingy to Prismo, and made him go strangely limp whenever the Wishmaster touched his belly. But, he had decided Scarab was just a clingy, grumpy patient. He understood that. He knew what to do, what to think, when something felt under the weather.

Prismo didn't know what to think when Life first told them what was going on. That there was an egg in Scarab's core, that Prismo was a dad, that he had no idea what to do or expect.

It frightened him, above all.

Children were not something Prismo considered in the cards for himself. His only exposure to the tiny things were in dire circumstances of kids inheriting adult responsibilities, or watching from afar on the TV Wall.

He'd have loved to know kids personally. He almost hoped Jake would bring his pups over when he told him. But turns out pups grow up a bit too fast.

Well... guess you get what you ask for.

He hadn't realized he froze until Scarab began to sob, Life trying and failing to reassure him. He heard his lovely partner call himself defective, a bad carrier for only having one egg, like he had already failed, and that just wouldn't do.

The beetle was terrified, that much was obvious. He hadn't seen Scarab break down like this in a long, long time.

So, Prismo did what he did back then. Put on the brave face.

He tried so hard to not spiral. His mind was going a million miles a second, trying to piece together something cohesive.

What did this mean, for the both of them?

What would the pantheon do, considering the last divine child nearly destroyed the death worlds and end the cycle of life?

What was he supposed to do to keep this little egg safe? What did babies need? Was this kid going to be human? Bug? A dream? Some weird mix of it all?

He wasn't prepared for this. He wasn't ready, not for any of this.

He needed to think, he desperately wanted to just stop and process and compartmentalize any of this news.

Scarab had at least stopped sobbing, now quietly curled up against the Wishmaster's chest. Prismo placed a delicate hand on the Auditor's belly, petting it softly. There was an egg in there, somewhere. His baby. Their baby.

Prismo made sure to remind himself of that whenever Scarab vanished for hours into the basement. He had been doing that a lot more recently, ever since they found out. He was mumbling something about finding the "perfect spot," whatever that meant.

The Wishmaster had the good sense to research and ply Life with tea and questions whenever she had a moment to visit. Although, how much of it was helpful to their specific situation was questionable at best. He wasn't sure how much warming rocks or shedding spot were important to their circumstances, but Life seemed insistent on them.

All it really did was leave him more confused than when he started, especially when Scarab seemed to have found his spot. He started digging a massive hole into the Time Room wall, surrounded by what seemed to be the aborted start of many such similar holes.

"A brood burrow" Scarab had called it.

Prismo wasn't stupid, but maybe he should've asked a few more questions before the egg finally arrived. Before it was sealed in said hole.

The Wishmaster panicked. This wasn't right, this couldn't be right. Babies needed to be held, needed to be touched, they needed to be kept safe, why was Scarab sealing them in a dark hole?

And that's when he was woefully reminded of the fundamental biological differences between the two of them.

"I wouldn't be doing this if there wasn't a good reason, dear. Grubs are... sensitive, Prismo."

Scarab sat himself down in front of the now weakened by reassembled piece of the wall, sword in hand.

"B-B-But... But, that's a baby, Scarab! You put our baby in a dark hole!"

"With enough food and water to get them through this first stage."

"Babies can't eat solid food!"

"Grubs can, Prismo. My dear, I need you to listen to me."

Prismo was fretting. He wanted to dig the egg out, demand Scarab find another way. But the beetle's look was serious. So he listened.

"I know this might not... make sense to you. But grubs have very different needs than mammalian young. This was how I was handled during grub hood, this is how everyone on my planet made it through grub hood."

"B-But... But why? Why would you just... Just trust a hole to be enough?! Babies are fragile!"

"Yes, they are. But a grub is fragile in ways a baby is not. Grubs are sturdy, at least with structure. They hatch able to chew, crawl, and support their own bodies."

"Then why put them in a hole? I thought your species loved touch!"

"We do. But grubs are different, Prismo. Grubs have very fragile senses. Strong bodies, but a weak constitution. Almost any strong sensation can cause them to stress, which makes their little organs fail."

Scarab chittered nervously as he took Prismo's hand.

"I want nothing more than to hold them right now. I'm terrified they won't make it out of that hole, Prismo. I'm right with you in wanting to hold them and keep them safe more... directly. But that's the safest place for them right now. Too much light, too much noise, too much touch, all of it could hurt them. Disturbing them right now, even with the best intentions, could kill them."

Prismo let the words sink in. He swallowed thickly, looking between the wall and Scarab.

"...There's a reason we usually carry a clutch. Grubs... it's a roll of the dice if they emerge."

And so, Prismo was left to stew.

Maybe Scarab meant to reassure him about the necessity of the hole. But, all it did was make his mind spiral with worst case scenarios. If... If it takes that little to make a grub... fail to emerge, then, what are their chances?

Scarab didn't even seem reassured by his own speech. Every time Prismo came to the basement, there was Scarab. Standing guard, in the same spot. Glob, he looked so tired.

Prismo couldn't take care of their little one, not yet at least. But... well, he could at least take care of Scarab.

It became a way to cope: finding a way to get Scarab to sleep. It got harder every time, the beetle getting more and more anxious every time he realized he let himself rest.

But he still had mortal upkeep. He needed to sleep. And Prismo was more than happy to take the torch to let his partner perform that upkeep.

It gave him more time to think.

He leaned his head against the wall, trying to listen for any sign of life in there. Maybe he heard a small scuttling, or maybe some rustling, but nothing concrete. Nothing reassuring.

Glob, what he wouldn't do for some reassurance. To be allowed a peek inside, just to see if they're okay.

But Scarab would never forgive him if he did. He knew, deep in his core, that Scarab would never forgive him if he ever found out.

So, he waited.

Day after anxious day, he waited for something to change. Something to happen.

And boy something did.

When he heard Scarab chirping, much more tense and frantic than he's used to, he knew something was wrong. Deeply wrong.

That moment was a whirlwind of emotions. His baby is emerging! But it's apparently too early and probably won't make it...

But then Prismo listen.

The chirps he was hearing, the ones responding to Scarab's trills and words, they didn't sound like that of something dying. They were frightened, definitely needed reassurance, but they weren't dying. They were loud, steady, confident even.

But there was no way of knowing. Not without waiting.

He had seen a little hand burst through the wall, with little yellow claws. He heard the chittering and squealing of such a tiny body. He watched in awe as this tiny thing dug itself out, and caught them before they tumbled to the floor.

Oh, they were gorgeous. So little, fluffy, alive. They were alive, firmly. Prismo wanted to weep, but he needed to get his two favorite bugs to settle down first.

He quickly wrapped them up in a blanket, chuckling a little at how quickly they fell asleep. He couldn't imagine how exhausting the journey they just had must've been. He looked idly in the whole as he soothed them, seeing the broken open pupa shell at the back of the hole. Such a little fighter already...

Prismo heard a terrible warble from Scarab, who had squeezed his eyes shut and was on the verge of tears.

Had he not seen...?

Oh no, he must think...

"Scarab...?"

The beetle shook his hear, a tear slipping past his shut lids. Oh, his poor Lovebug...

"Scarab? Open your eyes." Please, please come see this beautiful little treasure.

"...Is it over...?"

Prismo's heart broke. The resignation in his voice was too much... He was prepared to accept the end...

"N-No, Lovebug. Look."

And oh, did Scarab look.

Prismo could see the thoughts wandering across his face, from despair to confusion to overwhelming joy and relief. He was quick to examine the little thing, chirping softly, taking one of their tiny hands into his own.

And then he collapsed, sobbing in relief as he slid down against the wall. Oh, his sweet Lovebug... Prismo was at his side in an instant, pressing sweet kisses all along his neck and cheek.

Scarab held their little one with such tenderness, he wouldn't have guessed it wasn't natural. The two bugs chirped and trilled at each other, Scarab nuzzling close and brushing his antennas against theirs.

That brought them to where they were now. In the ambient glow of the Dream Lilies, under the cool shade of the strange clouds, the all rested in the Time Room. Prismo silently closed the main entrances. No wishmakers. Not today.

No, today, he would curl around his beautiful little family. He had finally gotten Scarab to sleep, now that their Luna was among them. He wrapped all of them into a blanket nest, perfect for his partner to burrow into, which he happily did.

A tiny chirp interrupted Prismo's reflection, turning his attention to the little face smiling up at him. Seems they couldn't quite decide if they were awake or asleep yet.

Prismo could relate.

"Hey, sweet star" he cooed, leaning down to give them a peck on the forehead. Luna chirped happily in response, tickling Prismo's nose slightly as they brushed their antenna against his face. "It's nice to finally get to see you. You were in a whole for a few months. Isn't that crazy?"

They blinked owlishly at him, reaching up to pat his chin and giggle.

"Yeah, that is pretty crazy. But look at you, you busted yourself out of baby jail. Never seen a baby who could do that. Must be some kind of super baby."

Luna tilted their head at him, apparently listening. He wondered how much they actually understood.

"You gave your dads quite the scare, you know. You weren't supposed to come out for a while. Why'd you do that, hmm? You can't even walk yet and you're already making trouble."

They gave a tiny trill in defense.

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

He chuckled at their one-sided conversation, giving their cheek a little nuzzle with his nose.

"You know... I'm... I'm scared, man. I've been trying to not show it, 'cause Scarab was about to pull his own shell off from stress but... man, you've scared me every step of the way. I'm not even sure I'm not still scared, even with you right here. I'm not sure what I'm doing. Scarab isn't either. But... well, we're trying. Whatever might happen, you're worth it. Remember that Papa and Dad love you, so much."

Luna was looking at him with wide, curious eyes. Prismo thought he could see all the thoughts circling around in their mind, so many thoughts for such a young thing. He hoped they understood.

He placed one more kiss on their forehead. Hopefully that would be enough.

"You should sleep, sweet star. You've had a long day. I'll be right here. Your Dad's right there next to you, you're holding his hand. Sleep."

At least they didn't pick up on Scarab's self-destructive stubbornness, and softly nestled back into Prismo's chest. The Wishmaster sighed, letting the warmth of everything wash over him.

He was scared. He knew he probably would be for a while.

But, for now, he could rest. He might not need sleep, but he will rest.

He could rest, now that his baby was safe in his arms.

hello, I hope your day finds you well. I really like your halsin content and I like the insight and understanding you provide this character even through the less-than-stellar writing/pacing of the character in the game. I have a thought and was wondering if you could address if you feel this is a valid characterization headcanon or something fully off field: Even from the little Larian has given us about Halsin and his past with sexual trauma it does seem that Halsin has poor self-awareness when it comes to his role in it. In that, I mean, he knows he can have sex and enjoy it tremendously but what happens if he stops enjoying it? If his partner is having fun but he isn't, would he ask them to stop or use a safe word or would he try to 'get through it' for the pleasure of their partner? We have the example of the bear, but that's a little different. If it's someone he is in love/romantic with, would he speak up, do you think? How much does Halsin value his own consent and his own boundaries, do you think? I have my theories but I'd like to hear yours, if you have any. (I apologize for the novel of a question and also, feel free not to answer. you are a busy person :) )

Hello friend! I have a huge load off my shoulders now that two of my four final assignments are done, that's for sure :) Thank you so much for this ask and your nice comments!

So, this is an interesting question, and it's hard to answer because Halsin is just so complex, and sexual trauma itself is complex. He lets the player get away with so much awful stuff- even staying with them if they threaten to sell him back into sexual slavery. That's not just a forgiving nature or goodwill stopping him from asserting himself. But what is it? Does he think it was a joke, or that the stern comment was enough since his captors are dead? Was Halsin's lack of self-assertiveness with loved ones deliberate, the result of rushed writing, or an attempt to write him as "chill" while not realizing the implications of this combined with him lamenting how people think he can't be hurt? He lets the player toy with his heart if partnered, the player repeatedly saying they want to break up only to change their mind- Halsin gets increasingly upset each time, yet never leaves, never tells the player there won't be a next time... it's worrying and confusing.

That said, I think Halsin's sense of sexual boundaries is good enough that he wouldn't let it get to that point. He might or might not stop if he wasn't enjoying it, but if he was in distress, I think he'd speak up. It's not just the bear that makes me think of it; if you later suggest at the love dryad that his greatest regret was turning down the she-bear, he replies, "rejecting unwanted advances is no failure, even if it earned me some scars."

There's also his party banter to Ascended Astarion. "To give oneself wholly, and to have a lover totally in your thrall...? A harmless game, until it becomes real. I worry for the two of you, Astarion. For your sake, I hope some of it is just a fantasy, deep in your heart."

So this shows that Halsin does understand the risks of kink well, and is very firm that there is no problem in rejecting unwelcome advances- in asserting one's boundaries.

That said, he has a very big and gentle heart, and I do think there are circumstances in which he'd be very vulnerable to being manipulated. However, those would require certain deliberate actions on behalf of that person; I don't think it's his default state. (I suppose he might also be prone to this in situations where his trauma was triggered and such, but again, I don't think that's his default.) I think Halsin knows he has as much of a right to boundaries and to have his consent respected as everyone else- he is just bad at defending himself when it comes to hurtful words and actions.

That's just my take on it, though; everyone will have their own opinion, and don't let this tell you not to interpret it that way. If you were, IDK, wanting to write a fic or something, don't let this stop you! There are many ways to make it work, I think.

how would you describe william’s aesthetic?

before freddy’s, what were his interests as a kid (besides rabbits and robots obviously /silly)

did anyone find out he was trans without his knowledge? how did it impact his influence on others? maybe the kids’ perception of their father??

what are the ways does he stim? is he like a rabbit in terms of his mannerisms?

how likely is it that i could yap with him about rabbits? /silly

what kind of music does he like (do you have a playlist,,)?

what nicknames does he have for his kids (direct to each one && referring to them all)?

uhm umm … blinks . that’s all i got in me :3c

uhmmm good question! i've recieved one like this before actually and the answer was kind of uhhh i dont know. i know about four different aesthetics and none of them are particularly similar to what william has going on. and it also depends if you mean clothes-wise or… decor-wise? whatever 'deeply repressed homosexual father who used to be a theatre kid' looks like

i suppose drawing and reading! he loved sci-fi books in particular, which eventually end up being the reason why the sister location Looks Like That. and he likes drawing but never particularly becomes a professional at it, even into adulthood.

next questions got long so readmore

i think william tried to present himself as a boy in school but most kids caught onto the fact he was trans, adding another thing onto the pile of reasons to bully him for. perhaps its the reason why he had a violent outburst, leading to his parents also finding out he's trans through the school informing them. through college, most people aren't aware he's trans because he plays it off so well. even the people he's sleeping with (he insists the lights be off, and usually both him and his partner are drunk). i kinda imagine it like that one dude who had like multiple wives and they all didn't realize he was trans (i forgor his name :[…(NEVERMIND I FOUND IT IT WAS BILLY TIPTON)). as for his kids it seems likely they might find out. lizzie might have been too young to remember william being pregnant with evan and evan wouldn't have ever seen him as such, so most likely only michael knows. and he was probably taught that it was a normal, unremarkable thing that he should not bother to tell anyone about. another notable case would be medical staff with william giving birth + the springlock injury. i think clara and henry were very set on keeping things quiet there and ensured it didn't get out. actually sorry i went off the rails a bit i just realized this says wqithout his knowledge Ermmm just ignore the stuff he'd know about

YES. he does have rabbit mannerisms. i think he thumps his foot sometimes, jumps around a bit/binkies, i suppose sprawling out counts (motherfucker takes up the whole couch/desk just because he wants to be annoying). and as for stimminggg this one also counts for rabbit mannerisms but he likes chewing things i think. taps his fingers. used to do hand flapping but he essentially forced himself to stop doing it.

very likely. he loves rabbits and could talk about them for hours. and he would be quite excited for someone to share that passion i think! its not hard to prompt him into infodumping about them

i do Not have a playlist mostly because i have very few songs that are that old. however i do think he enjoys classic rock music. and i mentioned a few artists i think he might like before but id have to look for that ask. i think if it has a guitar he likes it

michael: mikey, mike elizabeth: lizzie, liz evan: doesn't really have a nickname all of them: i think he'd call them his baby bunnies in a joking manner. but also somewhat seriously. yaknow?

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK ^_^ this was very fun to answer yippee!!!!

Touch starved HiMERU with a partner whose love language is physical touch thoughts?

(Did you mean me lol) Oh maaaaaan, he deserves that. Everything about it, even the initial awkwardness involved. Because let's face it, the emotionally repressed  guy ever does not know how to deal with that. I mainly see him as an acts of service kinda guy, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't be on board with physical touch - after some difficulties. And believe me, in due time, he is so on board with it. I don't think he'd get super flustered (at least not outwardly) by his partner being touchy, but he has no idea how to react the first few times. He just bluescreens for a second. However, as this keeps happening, there's the creeping thought that this is surprisingly comfortable… rather nice, really. It is just incredibly foreign to him. The only memories of anything similar from so long ago, vague at best. Good memories though, if a bit bittersweet… In any case, it takes him a while, but the realisation that he really craves the physical affection dawns on him eventually. And if his partner's someone to just casually be touching him at random times throughout the day, I think he'd really enjoy the reminder that they're there. It's not something he takes for granted. As for receiving… I'm still thinking about his hair. But that's because I'm convinced he'd genuinely love his partner just running their fingers through it. Even if he isn't a hamster and the comparison would get him to blush and deny anything of the sort, please keep petting his head… Maybe a backrub? Guy's so tense, he really needs any help he can get to relax… Also, please consider what I would call the ultimate crossover between physical touch and acts of service: washing your partner's hair. He's not picky about who washes who's (even better when it's a mutual thing though) but he needs to be a little careful not to drown in the tub from how quickly the gesture makes him melt when on the receiving end… However, I do think he'd be incredibly awkward about initiating. Isn't he supposed to be smooth? Yeah well, not when about to make contact with his partner. He tries though. He really does, which is endearing all in itself. Maybe he doesn't ask outright, but they can see it on his face how he gauges their reaction when his thanks to them is accompanied by a tentative head pat. Or randomly reaching for his partner's hand while watching a movie like a nervous teenager on their first date. So please don't mind that his hugs start out a little stiff and that he doesn't know where to put his hands when cuddling, readjusting time and again. He'll get the hang of it eventually. (Ironically, I think he'd be far less awkward about it in a sexual context. There's so much going on in the heat of the moment and not as much time to overthink.) And once he does? His partner should be prepared to become a headrest. Be stopped in their tracks for a sneaky squeeze. Using their hands? Think again. Occupied by a certain blue haired guy with pronouns. Actually, other than very important after-work cuddling sessions, I can see him being into holding his partner's hands especially. Can be casual or really intimate. Absolutely no PDA though. He's more than willing to indulge them to their heart's content, but please wait until at home. He just can't afford any scandals. (And maybe he's also just a little shy and gets embarrassed by the teasing it would surely entail.) But in private? Once he's used to it? You will rarely see anyone enjoy the attention so much. He's on his partner the minute he's through the door and his shoes are off. They're on the couch? Their lap looks comfy. As does being used as a pillow by them. After all, they're very warm… I think he would really like the contrast to his rather stressful job. Now he is home! Peace! Quiet! And cuddles! It's easy just being with his partner, simply touching. No specific goal in mind other than to feel. I think he'd marvel at the fact that he somehow ended up in the position to do this. So casually as well. Whenever he wants, basically. It's not something he'd ever want to miss again.

jealousy hcs for 4town⭐️?

pls and thank uu

Gen ;; Kinda-Angst-if-You-Squint-Hard-Enough+ Fluff - Headcanons

Warnings ;; Jealousy (it's insanely mild lmao)

Proofread + Edited ;; falalala

Auth. Note ;; Only took me like 12 decades to finish this.. my bad.

As I said in my A-Z headcanons for each member I don't think they get jealous easily as they trust their partner but emotions happen sometimes yk

For each of these the context is they just came back from a world tour without you and want to spend time catching up,, hcs will differ from here

Enjoy !! <3

Aaron T - Koala Mode Activated

Ordinarily T doesn't feel jealous

His biggest competitor for your attention would probably be the internet, or cute animals, or cute animals on the internet, so he's never felt that threatened

Every now and again though ??

Something just makes his hair stand on end

T doesn't like feeling jealous in any capacity

So how does he deal with it ??

By literally smothering himself in your love

No actually though

You though he was clingy before ??

Mans is a whole ass koala from here on out

You are the tree

This is your life now

Welcome and get used to it

T had only recently gotten back from the band's biggest tour yet

Amazing experience, 10/10 he assures you, but what he really wants now is to relax with you until you both become a part of the furniture

It's a little bit hard to do that when you're at a friends house and he's at home

T's happy that you're having a good time but not now when you're supposed to be relaxing in your pajamas, watching shitty horror movies with him

Does he feel like a bit of an asshole ?? Yeah.. but he misses you..

And well,, he'd hoped you'd missed him too..

So when you text him asking him to come pick you up ?? Mans is breaking that speed limit like its a god damn challenge

Ain't no such worry as tickets when hugs are on the line,, yknow ??

The moment, and I meant the moment, T sees you ??

Octopus

Immediately

You know those mukbang videos with the live squid (poor babies TT^TT) ??

They're actually doing and impression of T,, not the other way around

The more you know..

So whether its slight, harmless jealously or T's genuinely upset ??

Octopus

Ain't no way anyone can even try it on you if T's wrapped around you like a second skin..

Jesse - Height Has Its Advantages

Look man,, Jesse's tall as shit there ain't no way he doesn't use that fully to his advantage

Like,, you're just living life, getting flirted with like the mega chad you are or whateva

Suddenly there's this huge shadow over your shoulder and your conversation partner has suddenly decided to take up running..

Weird..

If you look over to Jesse he'll start with the innocent whistling act whilst refusing to look at you

Look man,, when you have legs long enough that people confuse them for stilts why tf wouldn't you use them for intimidation purposes ??

I mean,, it's just friendly flirting

At least to you it is,, and Jesse knows that

Hey,, he partakes in a fair bit of it himself so that not the issue

No,, it's the other person taking it seriously

And Jesse isn't about to scrap some rando behind some building

But he will become the very essence of the standing man emoji

That's his only line of defence

Kinda pathetic ngl because if the subject of intimidation is ready to throw hands.. well.. Jesse's fucked

But most of the time, if not all, the height scares those serious flirters away

Mans is literally giving spooky stilts lmaoo

Like spooky spoon but spooky stilts.. don't think anyone will get that but I think it's funny lmao

Anyways but like he'll literally watch you watch the flirter run away with their tail between their legs and then just give the silliest "Are you feeling wooed ??" type look

Dumbass

Aaron Z - It's Home Time

Z's a simple man

He's also a tired,, he just got back from a tour..

There's just literally no need to play mental gymnastics

The quickest way to get from point A to point B is a straight ass line so why tf would he go in a circle,, ya feel ??

Talking around things is tiring and ends in arguments that lead nowhere

What's the point,, yknow ??

If Z's not feeling it,, he's gonna tell you

You guys are out on a low-key date type thing

And since Z feels too jetlagged to function, you've organised it just to his tastes

A small tea shop where you two can just talk and relax

It's literally perfect

If only the waiter would stop staring you down like a carnival prize they really want to win

Yeah,, Z isn't a fan of that look

He especially isn't a fan of when the waiter takes it upon himself to hand you their number alongside your drink

Mans has seen good customer service..

This shit ain't it..

So Z taps the table to get your attentions and simply asks to leave

Simple

Once you agree,, Z goes up to pay and you both skedaddle on out of there

But not before Z sneaks in a small, teeny tiny complaint about the work ethic of some the staff

After all, he'd never want such a fine establishment to gain a reputation

It's all for the good of the company

And if Z sticks his tongue at them as you both leave, well there's certainly no evidence

Robaire - Smiling on the Outside, Plotting a Murder On the Inside

The definition of unsubtle, yknow ??

Like,, Robaire will just flirt with you until the cause of his jealousy just disappears

Pet names,, light touches,, complete eye contact with you to the point of ignoring everyone and everything else

That's the strategy

And if that ain't working ??

Prepare to be wooed,, he's coming in hot,, okay ??

You thought he was flirting before ?? Man is flirting aggressively now lmao

No,, literally prepare yourself, you're not ready

Robaire isn't playing games,, he will proceed to make out with you right here, right now if that is what it comes to

Ro just wanted some down time with you after touring for however long

And he refuses to let your unbearably clingy friend ruin your time together

He will, however, ruin their time with you

Hey man,, he's the partner,, he has right of way lmao

Ro's simply not vibing with the way your friend is clutching onto your arm

Almost as if they've been away on a world tour for lord knows how many months

Huh...

Funny that..

So I mean,, if you don't mind getting attacked with affection Ro's definitely your guy lmao

Mans thinks he's slick too..

Comes over and just aggressively flirts with you, all the while he's sending death glares at his nemesis

Please be advised that Ro is currently going through Google maps in his mind to figure out the perfect place to hide the body

He's so silly goofy like that

Tae Young - Aggressively Passive

Tae is the type of make fun of stereotypically jealous people and mock them then immediately get all sulky the moment their partner interacts with someone else

It's a glorious thing to witness every single time

Truly

Literally Tae will laugh at some dude trying to intimidate other guys but will turn the puppy eyes on you as soon as your attention is elsewhere

And to the stealer of your attention ??

Only the pettiest of exchanges are deserved

Tae will go out of his way to make them uncomfortable around him

He will put on the sweetest, most upbeat persona and proceed to shit on and backhand compliment this poor person with the biggest smile on his face

You'd feel bad if it wasn't kinda funny to witness lmao

And it is !!

It's really funny to just watch people get overwhelmed with the mixed signals that are Tae

Yknow ??

Like,, the sweet persona is so good that people believe that he's being super nice until they actually listen to the words falling from his lips

AND THIS CAN TAKE SO LONG

People have had full ass conversations, finished them and only realised laying in bed at home that Tae was fucking with them

IT'S SO GOOD

Definitely feels super proud of himself after every encounter

Like,, fuck yeah he just showed them who's boss

He did not, in fact, show them who's boss - they think he's the sweetest thing since apple strudel

Oh well, at least they're not stealing you away anymore 🤷‍♀️

break down parado!

Give me a character to break down ask meme.

How I feel about this character Where do I start? He means so much to me! He makes my heart dance! It feels like it's been a long time since I've been so obesessed with a character and in a way he's made me feel alive again. Thanks to him (well, Ex-Aid as a whole) I've felt more creative and I feel very grateful to him (and by extension his actor). I'm just so glad he exists and I wish I'd known about him sooner. Thinking about/seeing him makes me automatically feel a lot happier. I just love him soso much. And when I say I love him I mean, I'd kiss him. I think about those forehead freckles of his and how I want to push his hair back and kiss them frequently. I think about him in ways that is rare for me to think about. He's so cute, but he also has those intense moments when he was still a villain. I did so enjoy how he could be smiling one moment, then his expression just... Drops. But I love it when he smiles the most. He has an adorable smile. I also have a little bit of gender envy towards him?

^Me upon thinking about having gender envy over Parad. (I'd also love it if I had his mid-season fluffy hair).

^Me upon realising that I might actually just have gender envy towards Shouma Kai, not just Parad. (I refer to him as Parad just cause I don't expect my friends to have his actor's name memorised lol). It actually happened again the other week when I saw a selfie of him looking so cute. I suppose it makes sense it wouldn't just be a Parad thing since they share a face lol. Anyway back to the precious Bugster boy...

All the people I ship romantically with this character Emu - Their hearts are connected and are basically soulmates. I can't not ship them, they're pretty much one of my favourite types of ship dynamic. Sento - This might be my own bias because I really like Sento. I think about the Build and Ex-Aid crossover movie a lot and the two of them interacting.

I think he could have grown fond of Sento if given more time and I wish they'd had some interaction before they had to part ways. In my mind their relationship might be similar to Sento and Banjou's. (Although Parad does have brains as well as brawn so of course there'd be differences). Sento would tease Parad, but they'd have their sweet moments. Parad might also feel a bit competitive with Sento at times, maybe challenge him to puzzle games? Graphite - The two of them have a special bond and were together a long time. Part of me leans more towards them being closer to fuck buddies than partners since Parad's obsessed with Emu and Graphite may have complex feelings for Hiiro, at least in my mind he does. So they end up together because they can't be with the people they really want to be with. (Although Graphite is of course in denial about finding Hiiro attractive). Kiriya - I ship this more as a polyship with Emu. It's clear that Kiriya is very special to Emu and Emu's feelings are Parad's feelings too. So whos to say Parad can't have a lil crush on Kiriya too? He understands Kiriya is very special to Emu and it feels like he'd be the one person Parad wouldn't get jealous of Emu being with. Plus Kiriya is a chill guy and if anyone is going to accept that Parad comes as a package deal with Emu, it's him. Banjou - This one is again shipped more as part of a polyship, this time with Emu and Sento (aka Mighty Match). Parad is definitely getting him into fighting games. I also like to think they might spar for fun and they can get rough with each other. I don't mind him with Kuroto, I've read some fics of the two of them, but I wouldn't call any relationship I ship involving Kuroto 'romantic'. I think of, if anything happened between them, it was more an early/pre-series thing. Parad and Poppy could be cute, I think I'd lean towards it more as a poly with Emu. But I prefer them more platonically.

My non-romantic OTP for this character Poppy - Parad, Poppy and Graphite are the Bugster besties trio. I like thinking of Poppy as the one Parad would go to for advice as she's the only other Bugster living among humans. (Who wasn't born human anyway). Nico - They are gaming rivals and have the potential to become good friends too. Outside of gaming I can see them challenging each other to dumb things or pulling pranks since they can be a bit childish. (Even if they both did mature a bit at the end of Ex-Aid, there is nothing to say they can't have their childish moments still and they probably bring it out of each other).

My unpopular opinion about this character Not sure if it's an unpopular opinion but I really like his outfit! It combines a lot of things I like giving OCs, especially ones based on myself. So I guess you could say he wears a combination of things I'd like to wear in an outfit? Ahahaha. Although I wouldn't combine them all myself, I feel like it somehow works.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon. More interaction between him and Nico being friends/gaming rivals. Even if it was just some scene of the other characters talking in CR while Parad and Nico are huddled together fighting each other on a console game. (Then they probably are accused of not paying attention to what was being discussed, but actually they were lol) Also more interaction between him and Kiriya would have been nice since they are the two most important people to Emu. Really just, more Parad being there as part of the team after joining up with Emu. I'd also just love it if he reappeared in a special or crossover or something. Well, not just him as an Ex-Aid cast reunion would be nice. Ahahaha. But I feel like it would be unlikely since they'd probably need a reason for him to appear and his actor is probably a bit busy being on stage. He seems quite popular in the musical world of Japan so it might be also expensive to have him come back? Idk, I can hope.

“I think I deserve a kiss for this.” + Willex, plz and thank you?

Please pay NO attention to how late this is... But enjoy!

Willie goes over the plan again in his head. His dads will be here around 9, they'll do a little apartment tour, pour coffee, and eat brunch. They'll probably end up chatting for a while after as well. It will be fine. It's just his dads after all.

His super rich dads. Coming to their tiny 2-bedroom apartment. Which they just moved into a week ago.

Plus it's the first place Willie has ever had with a partner, which adds a whole new level of pressure. Sure, he and Alex have been together for years, and had been friends for ages before that, but still! This whole brunch thing has to go well!

Speaking of which, where is Alex? Willie has been up since 4, cleaning, but Alex hasn't appeared from his room, where the couple crashed last night. It's almost 7:30, and Alex is supposed to make the food. Willie is perfectly fine admitting they're a disaster in the kitchen. But that does mean they're reliant on Alex for this... and if he's not even awake yet....

Willie pokes his head into Alex's room just as the drummer's alarm goes off. The peppy chords of some Dirty Candy song from a few years ago echo through the room along with Alex's groan. He mumbles something unintelligible and reaches a blind hand out to smack at his phone screen. Willie allows themselves thirty seconds to enjoy the soft, rumpled, unkempt sight that is his boyfriend first thing in the morning.

Alex has never been a morning person, obviously. He's usually a bit of a grump until he's had a few minutes to take his retainer out and get a drink. Woe to anyone who dares argue with him before he's had at least a partial cup of coffee. He's always running into corners and furniture because his eyes aren't open all the way.

Alex is a mess in the mornings. Willie loves that they get to be the one to see that Alex every day.

However, they're on a time crunch today.

"Hey Babe, you up?" Willie calls.

"No," Alex grumbles, pulling the duvet up to his chin.

Willie chuckles, then glances down at his watch. "Sorry, but I need your kitchen skills," they point out, walking over to the bed and tugging gently on the edge of the blanket.

"Too bad," Alex mumbles. "Too many boxes yesterday...."

Willie winces sympathetically. It's true that Alex had spent most of yesterday finishing up the unpacking of their stuff. Willie had helped as much as he could, but he'd had a double shift at work so they'd been gone most of the day. But they still have people coming over so...

"Baby, please?" Willie requests.

Alex groans again and sits up, just like Willie knew he would. "You play dirty, Covington, no pet names this early," he informs them. The glare that accompanies the statement doesn't hold any real anger though.

"I love you," Willie responds, giving him a hand up. Then they're headed back to the living room. The kitchen is already clean, but the couches need to be straightened and the TV isn't actually plugged in yet and the bathroom could probably use another once over...

"What am I making again?" Alex asks as he enters the main room a few minutes later.

"Eggs, french toast, fruit, coffee," Willie rattles off.

"I deserve a kiss for this," Alex mutters as he flips on the coffee machine.

Willie laughs and pecks him on the cheek as he passes, heading for the paper towels to wipe down the bathroom counter. But before he makes it out of the kitchen, Alex catches them by the forearm.

"Are you okay?" Alex asks, eyes still heavy with sleep.

"Of course," Willie responds, surprised. Why wouldn't they be? They just want this to be perfect.

"How long have you been up?" Alex inquires, not letting go of his arm.

"Since like 4:30 or something," Willie answers. "Not that long. I gotta go clean the bathroom."

Alex still doesn't let go. Why isn't he letting go? "Willie, you're freaking me out," Alex says softly. "This is just your dads, right?"

"Yeah but I want it to be perfect for them," Willie says. "I gotta be perfect, this is a big deal."

Willie catches his own words a beat after Alex does. "Oh," they sigh, deflating a bit.

"Yeah," Alex agrees, finally letting go of Willie's arm to pull him into a hug. "It's okay, you're okay. Caleb became your dad when you were, what, 7? And Trevor and Caleb got engaged when you were 11? They've both stuck with you for all of that time. They love you. It's okay if it's not perfect."

Willie forces himself to just lean on his boyfriend and listen to his low, sleepy words. Right. Brunch doesn't have to be perfect. Willie doesn't have to be perfect.

"Sorry," they mumble after a minute.

"You have nothing to apologize for," Alex promises. "It happens. That kind of stuff is hard to train yourself out of. Believe me, I get it."

Willie chuckles and reaches up to wrap their arms around Alex's neck. "Thank you," he murmurs before pressing a light kiss to Alex's mouth. "For all of this."

"I love you," Alex responds simply before reconnecting their mouths.

Willie knows Alex can hear their I love you too loud and clear as they kiss in their new, shared kitchen. It might as well be written on the walls already. It's the truth that got them here after all.

Brunch is far from perfect. But it's great regardless(even if the food is a bit late).

For Étoile/Astarion please:

🍰 What is 'their song'? Officially or unofficially.

🩷 What is the sweetest thing they've done for one another?

🤎 How do they comfort each other?

💋 What is their favorite place to kiss their partner? Do either enjoy 'leaving a mark'?

For Étoile/Halsin please:

🩷 What is the sweetest thing they've done for one another?

🤎 How do they comfort each other?

♪(^∇^*) Thank you for the ask!

Étoile and Astarion

🍰 I'm not sure what officially and unofficially might mean in this context.

A song from their playlist which I wouldn't give them awareness of even in modern fic is Hot Tea by half-alive. Sharing a lyric video because the official video of the song is weird and I am not a fan of the interpretative dance in it fdhtdfghgdf :

A song I'd be willing to give them awareness of in a modern setting is Wicked Game by Chris Isaak which I'm inspired to take off of Neil's Astarion playlist. It has very strong vibes of one of the last songs played at an event where people are inebriated and tired, swaying slowly; or could just be something that Astarion turns off on a radio for being a little too on the nose; or fits the mood of an intimate scene like the love scene in Dirty Dancing to me. Anyway:

🩷 <- I can copy and paste this but I can't see this emoji, whatever it is.

I suppose it depends on your definition of sweet, because I imagine I could think up some gifts and surprises, recollections and whatever else. Instead, I'll pick pivotal moments of "sweetness," which I think if I remember right I told some various friends on discord but aren't exactly me repeating myself here.

Raphael's pronouncement of victory is something I hope to one day explore in fic for Étoile. Initially I'd speculated that it could have happened even the very same night as the long rest after the netherbrain, with Astarion's last scene before the credits. But now there's the epilogue and to honour something like it, that means it's at least six months later — I'll probably place it nearer 2 years post-canon, with Raphael's intended return 10 years post-canon.

Étoile's anxiety loses some of it's bite this way, but to re-iterate. They (are and) feel so responsible, and they feel that as a result of this that they are and will be so alone in having to sound out a solution and / or battle plan to face Raphael. They expect that if a solution can be found that this time stopping the person who wields the Crown will demand their life. They won't be able to picture the vampire spawn's recent, precarious alliance, living situation, lifestyle, can handle both their and Astarion's sudden departure. They imagine themself hindered in travel and resources trying to come up with an answer, and Astarion being unable to follow, whether across the Material Plane or at least into Baator, where they don't even know if there's a night-day cycle or whether the fires that burn are ones that a vampire could stand in the presence of. If it's hard for them to admit to all this other shame, it's easy for them to be vulnerable in conversation with Astarion about how they wanted this life with him, with his their people, and how after a few hundred years if it hadn't come up that they would have asked if he'd wanted to turn them, which is as much as a commitment as either of them could make.

Anyway, it's sweet of Astarion to hold back an "I told you so" for more than a week, to reassure Étoile that their people will be fine with the pair of them coming and going because they will have to be, among any other number of reassurances he makes. It is sweet of him to recognize that he could take this as a cue to step away from "an adventurer's" problems (with all the problems of community, politics, lifestyle and "inheritance" that he has had to deal with since the end of the Gate's last disaster) and away from all semblance of "commitment" that had been so alien and chafing and frightful and difficult in this relationship; and instead decide that even this impossible challenge and all the other problems were perhaps just as rewarding (if not moreso) than the domestic rewards — never as an elf nor as a vampire had he ever wanted an unremarkable life.

For Étoile's moment of sweetness, I may have spoken before about how I have dialogue for a "mirror scene" blocked out. I waffle on whether it'll get written not just because I have so many wips, but also because I worry Everyone who writes Astarion has written a mirror scene and so I worry I bring little new to the table. Even so, my mirror scene has Astarion's final moment of "Just tell me I'm beautiful and we can call it a day" result in anger. Astarion whining, exasperated, "It doesn't feel good. Why doesn't it feel good? Is it because I asked?" And this resulting in an extra conversation in the shadow-cursed lands before the hug scene, where part of my blocked dialogue includes the following; they are laying spooned together:

Astarion: [after a breath] When you called me beautiful … it was the first time in two hundred years that it wasn't said by a victim or someone … looking to take advantage. Whose words meant nothing and were … an expectation. Part of a process. An undignified one. It was the first time in two hundred years the word wasn't Cazador's. To call me beautiful while I was flayed open, or bleeding from the mouth, or— [he tenses, not quite ready to cry. Étoile squeezes and slowly takes his hand] Étoile: Your body is your own. [They bring his fingers to their lips for a kiss, Astarion chooses to follow the movement to face them] My words are mine. I don't want to make you feel like that. Astarion: I know. Étoile: [Releases Astarion's hand to put their hand on his chest] I'm glad you know. I want to say these things anyway. [Astarion strokes back some of their hair] I want you to hear them.

And how this scene would fucking fly to the forefront of Étoile's mind in addition to their moments of sexual intimacy during the hug scene. They would have the knee-jerk reaction of those moments having been all lies, of themself and their body being revolting to Astarion for an unknown how-long, until it's more obvious to them that Astarion's point is that these moments weren't as repulsive as they should've been, and far more sincere than he could have stomached without coming forward. It is these moments of communication and respect which endear Astarion to Étoile and earn his shaky trust.

Also shout out to Astarion for being "sweet" enough to travel across four countries with Étoile for them to see their home (and their mother?) one last time with living eyes before vampirism. (Even knowing this was going to be difficult as all hell if Aranea's still living on her mountain.)

🤎 While this is kind of answered in the last emoji, I feel like this is extremely conditional. Étoile needing to be comforted in grief is not the same as them needing to be comforted after being slighted publicly. Astarion needing to be comforted because of the oppressive weight of days of earth overhead in the Underdark is not the same as needing to be comforted because one of his siblings (Violet) trying to kill one another (Yousen). Sometimes it's an embrace and conversation, sometimes it's threatening to eviscerate one's enemies (sometimes it's following through). A lot of the time for them it's space and an invitation of their presence, whether that's a cup of tea or distraction like paperwork / letters / a reminder of life outside of what ails them.

💋 Étoile far prefers to be marked than doing the marking, but that doesn't mean their lovers don't end up with the occasional fading signs of intimacy. Their own most obvious such marks are more permanent even before vampirism anyway, and all from Astarion; scars of bites, technically sources of feeding but also signs of play, on the right side of their neck, on their left breast up close to their breast plate / center of their chest, on the inside of their left thigh. Indicative of Astarion enjoying where he can, or could once pre-vampirism, feel the pulse under their skin loudest. Other such bites didn't scar, and others still were not for feeding and healed even more swiftly. Étoile would say their favorite place to kiss Astarion is his mouth, both for the pleasure of his lips and the danger of his teeth; if needing to select somewhere "more interesting" then in public they'd say at the center of his brow, and in private they'd still flush in embarrassment about how they think it's somehow rude to choose his ass.

Étoile and Halsin

🩷 The sweetest thing Halsin does for Étoile (and Astarion), besides keep them in his heart, is construct an underground shelter (the first of many) in his Moonrise Village to alleviate the burden of the far more numerous population in their care, even by a few bodies, even temporarily.

I repeat myself a lot, but I think Étoile's sweetest gesture to Halsin is near the end of his long life, counselling on what an unlife could be, offering to turn him either within the laws and context of their vampire community or secretly otherwise, with reassurance that they would happily accept him into their home if all beasts and men turned from him as a decree from his Oakfather for the abberation of vampirism, and the sentiment "if I meet you in hell then it's not hell."

Prior to that I think a visit from Étoile (and Astarion) to Halsin's Moonrise Village: an appointment kept despite how others in the Village might be absent on their own adventures or lost to time, would be the sweetest thing in Halsin's biased opinion. Six days travel (twelve both ways) just to see him? Not for healing, nor counsel, nor to take on more people or projects of druidic magic or infrastructure. Not a plight of adventure, not a disappointment for it being just him. Just a visit, to share his company and whatever that entails; when they could have just stayed home, rescheduled until others returned and the visit felt of greater worth.

🤎 I stand by comfort being highly conditional, but I do think Halsin is far more susceptible to words of comfort. Étoile talks to Halsin in the context of faith, while theirs is for Auril and his is for Silvanus. It helps. Étoile is comforted by how earnest Halsin is; he was very critical when they first met, and remains just as free with his criticisms when people lose his respect. There are oceans of time between the moments of Halsin's impatience with Étoile, and there were times where he was more forgiving than he should've been because scenarios were simply beyond his ability to distinguish the kindest path (like with the Crown and Raphael). But even so, Étoile is reassured when Halsin offers comfort or advice, trusting that he would still be straightforward if their grief or embarrassment or frustration was otherwise unworthy of them.

[aetheternity]

Just thought of something… what if Venti with reader who doesn’t believe in Barbatos. They’re together but Venti hasn’t told reader his identity yet and their opinions on Barbatos are “I just don’t buy into that church of favonius nonsense. No one’s even claimed to have seen him in a millennia. The anemo archon doesn’t exist/ has long since abandoned Mondstadt if he ever did.”

Like, how would Venti take finding that out? Would he be devastated beyond belief that his love thinks this way of him and potentially do something reckless to prove them wrong? Or would he find it interesting or amusing the way Zhongli takes a liking to skeptics like Keqing?

And this relationship is serious, so obviously he’s got to tell them at some point. Would he reveal himself immediately because he can’t bare his love having the wrong impression of him any longer, and he wants them to love all of him which can’t be the case if he’s keeping a secret like that. Or would he wait a bit and try to subtly change their mind, or at least make them more open minded from behind the scenes before revealing himself.

Either way, I know Venti would want reader to see his whole identity so they can love all parts of him, and no matter what way Venti goes about revealing himself, reader will accept him because if their boyfriend whom they love more than anything is Barbatos than they love him as Barbatos as well.

-🌕

Oh hey 🌕 I was starting to think you weren't coming back its been a while.

Ok so when I read this ask I was thinking about this fic I read one time. (Don't even ask me the name I definitely don't remember) where reader didn't know Venti was Barbatos but Reader was like a super self confident person who was always talking about how they could fight a God and then Venti is just sitting there giggling when his partner brings up how they could beat the shit out of Barbatos easy.

He's all, "He wouldn't know what hit em, babe. 🥰"

But I feel like Venti would be a little confused, maybe a bit sad if his partner just flat out doesn't believe in Barbatos. I mean he's probably dealt with nonbelievers before but one of those nonbelievers being his partner hurts a lot more than he'd imagined.

He'd probably ask his partner little questions like, "Do you genuinely believe Barbatos is the kind of God who'd completely leave his people."

Like Reader explains in complete detail what kind of God Barbatos seems like from a personal view point and Venti just listens to his partner sort of vent before saying, "I actually like to believe in Barbatos. His stories are so interesting like have you heard about the one where Barbatos ruined a prized tablecloth during a meeting of all the archons? There was red wine all over the place!"

"See it's stuff like that, what kind of God do you know would do something like that?"

And Venti just kind of shrugs, "Maybe it's more likely than you think."

I'd like to imagine his s/o is like talking to Diluc and Diluc thinks Venti's partner is already privy to the knowledge that said lover is a god. So like a random patron says thank the anemo archon or something and in a huff reader is all like sure whatever and Diluc says some shit like,

"Wow, Venti's been putting you through the ringer lately hasn't he. Not that it's any of my business though."

And Reader's all, "What do you mean? Me and Venti are fine."

And Diluc goes, "Well you didn't seem to enjoy hearing him mentioned just now so I assumed a bit." He looks away for a second to set a clean glass down and when he looks back up Reader is like 😳

The second Reader finds Venti and sees him softly sat beneath the Windrise tree it's like all that anger starts to cease. Reader stomps up and Venti's eyes stop on his troubled lover's face.

He stands and turns to look at his partner, "What's the matter, you look out of breath.."

The conversation was supposed to be simple. Reader had thought about what to say all the way there but the actual words came out differently, "How could you lie to me?"

Venti's more than a little taken aback. He side steps and blinks trying to piece together exactly what Reader thinks he hasn't been honest about. "Lie to you? What do you think I lied to you about?"

"You're Barbatos."

And finally his secret is on the table. He honestly wants to chuckle just kind of clear the weird atmosphere but he just sort of scratches behind his head. "Oh.. that.."

"How could Diluc know but I didn't?" Reader continues

"Love.." He takes your hand hoping you don't snatch it away and he feels a warmth in his chest when you don't. "I wasn't quite sure how to tell you. I had a dilemma on my hands you had your own preconceived notions and you should be allowed to question what others believe in. Had you known you might've immediately begun to love Barbatos simply because he's a part of your lover. Which I don't think is fair to either of us." He cups reader's chin to force their eyes to meet. His smile is gentle, reassuring and loving. "But you're my most important person ever.. so I'll tell you everything about Barbatos now that the cat is officially out of the bag."

"You just let me insult you.." Reader sighs into Venti's shirt. "I want to know everything! Tell me everything I want to love Barbatos the way I love Venti."

Which Moriarty brother do you think would enjoy being pegged the most? 🤭

Oh this is an INTERESTING question for me.

Do not click "read more" unless you are over 18.

Pegging is specifically supposed to be "with a strap" right? So .. hmm

Alright I will get to your question but first some thoughts

Albert The only person I think Albert would allow to attempt this would be Bonde. His dislike of the fangirly flirtatious way that strange women treat him will probably prevent him from meeting anyone different that he'd trust with this sort of thing. But I think he'd like it just fine.

Louis I see as wanting control over things and having to trust his partner quite a bit to relinquish that control. There are very few people that I think he trusts enough to allow them to have the kind of control that topping him would require. None of the people I can think of are women. BUT I read Louis as bi so he could meet someone and build that relationship. It would just take a LOT of words to get there. Even Bonde as it stands doesn't read to me as having a close enough relationship with Louis to top him as canon sits ... The list is like. William and maybe Albert. But I see no reason he wouldn't like it. I just think he's the least likely to ever try it. But Louis in Poison Paradise did turn out to really enjoy gender fuckery. At least, drag. Not that those are at all equivalent, just ... if he finds inherent sexiness in some gender non-conforming thing, it leaves an opening for this. I also have the most sexuality headcanons for Louis because he's my favorite Barbie doll right now, and that's what I do with my dolls 😂.

William I have the least thoughts about here. He's real focused on the Lord of Crime stuff, and then his atoning/whatever is going on canonically with Sherlock. But if we just assume either some openness in the sherliam, or that they are actually just friends, I see no reason he'd be opposed to this or would not like it. I also don't really see him seeking it out. Like Albert, maybe if he had a thing with Bonde at some point? There is that like, Moriarty Family Polycule that I had been envisioning (this was named in my head before I heard the word "morigang" but also I mean it with enough incestuous vibes that I don't see a reason to change my language). So something with Bonde is not out of the question for him or his past. I guess the only other thing I'd have to say here -- if trans!William, then I think he'd like being the one doing the pegging.

Ok so TLDR: I see no reason any of them would not enjoy the act of pegging just fine. I see issues with some of them encountering a situation where it becomes relevant and so if you just asked them the question only one might know the answer, but assuming all had tried it I don't have a lead for which one "likes it the most."

Do you have thoughts, anon? What argument would you make?
