#i really like casanova btw

[princeloww]

Sorry, two minutes, back on Casanova (2005) --

The scene where Casanova, in Paris, watches an execution with other noble people is such a powerful scene to me. The building disgust and disturbance on his face as he watches what happens, and as he watches the delight of the people around him. The scene really expertly portrays that disturbance. I feel disturbed watching it, and I can't even see any of the execution. The subtle tension, turned not-so-subtle not-so-slowly, is so poignant and impactful. The disturbed look on Casanova's face as he sees his own son's delight.

The slow motion of him sending Giac Junior away, shielding him from the sight. And then we are shown the grins and joy of the people around him once more. He is isolated in this feeling. He is the only one disturbed, and that fact is disturbing enough on its own.

It almost feels like the natural predecessor to the Naples scene. The disgust on Casanova's face as he watches his son and his daughter feel each other up, egged on by everyone around them. He is the only one who is disturbed. Even Bellino, someone he once knew so intimately, has been so altered by this high society that she isn't phased.

This is the baby step to that. Giacomo Junior was born into this life, while his father wasn't. Giacomo Junior is disconnected from his father -- he is part of a different society. He hasn't faked his way there. He's just following along, and growing up around these people. He is the product of both neglect and a fucked-up, corrupted society that takes pleasure over morals.

He is what people view his father as. He is what his father will always be remembered as. A playboy, with no moral compass, and a greed for pleasure. Casanova, in Naples, is disgusted by the sight of what he has become, in the eyes of history.

Casanova doesn't really belong among these people. He has faked his way in. He is deeply disturbed. They are not.

I will take no questions or criticism to this take as i have never had a constructive thought in my life (/j)

SWEETHEART

tease her

but not too much

she might kick you out of her castle☠️

she’s kind of a tsundere???

but she also kind of likes it when you tease her

it made her heart goes fuzzy wuzzy inside

when the first time that happened, she thought she was sick

so she goes to a doctor (that doctor is a sprout mole)

and the doctor said she’s dying..

she panics and starts crying on your arms

you asked her why she’s crying, and is completely dumbfounded when she told you the whole deal

like what i’ve said

she sometimes felt her heart beating so fast when you use nicknames

and she got ‘diagnosed’ by a sprout mole that she’ll die

which got you kicking out the sprout mole who dare to call your beloved like that

the other sprout moles has been quiet after that

a/n: this was honestly really fun, i’ll try to make more of these.

[simpforchuchu]

Can I please request dating HCs for Nakagoshi or Nakaoka, The baby faction leaders don't get enough love imo.

Ooki Nakagoshi | General Dating Hcs

a/n: Hello! I really love our baby faction too 😭 God nobody writes for them and idk why 😭 They are amazing and the cutest ones 🤗 Soo thank you for this request 🌸 Hope you like it ❤️🌸

Sorry for the grammer or spelling mistakes.English is not my main language so...

Thank you and love you 🥰

Warnings: none

* At first we saw him as a very ambitious, wild and dangerous character. But his reaction when he found out that his friend was involved in stabbing Kiyoshi actually showed us that he's a pretty cool character.

* Someone who doesn't like dirty fighting and injustice, who wants to fight like a man

* Nakagoshi is an ambitious but mature character who is imperturbable, not afraid of fights.

* I especially think how much he has matured and his character has developed over time.

* -of course he is still our baby faction leader -

* He is handsome and has a very pretty face.

* He's good with girls, but he doesn't hang out with them like a playboy.

* I don't think he is overly flirty, someone who likes someone and then tries to get their attention

* Quite loyal to his friends

* In the last fight, we can see how much he cared for them and was a kind hearted person when he himself was injured to save Nakaoka and the others.

* He can fulminate quickly but doesn't act rashly

* He learned a lot from fights and experiences, so he is not naive anymore

* I don't think he would like someone too childish or too serious. I think someone calmer and cute would be his type

* A strong personality will impress him

* You don't have to be physically strong, he loves when you ask him to help you open the jars

* Or when you can't reach the top shelf, it makes him happy to get the plates there for you.

* I don't think it will be very difficult for him with a sensitive and emotional person. Nakagoshi gives me a very emotional vibe. Not a crybaby but someone who can get upset easily

* He's okay with you being crybaby btw, he's trying his best to hold you in his arms and calm you down.

* We know he has a unique style. Hip-hop style gives him a different vibe

* He likes to share his bandanas with you and admires you when you braid your hair and put them on.

* He finds your small body in his big cardigans very cute - those cardigans are too big for him too -

* He'll probably confess himself first and ask you out but if you do first, it's fine. I think he might be a little shy and be pretty cute

* Although he looks like a real Casanova from the outside, I think he is trying not to break anyone's heart

* A true gentleman

* Someone to open doors for you and hold your hand as you descend the stairs

* Although he believes that you truly love him, sometimes he thinks that he cannot show you enough love and wants you to remember it by buying gifts at such times.

* Someone he can be himself with is very precious to him. Even if it's not your style, he finds it sweet that you listen to his favorite music and try to understand it.

* I don't think he can cook. That's why he often comes to the balcony of your house to watch movies or have a picnic, taking food from outside.

* I think he's someone who gets cold easily, so he likes to put your hand in his cardigan pocket and hold your hand.

* I can imagine he likes sweets more. He always has little candies for you in his pocket - for himself too of course -

* It's very important to him that you love his friends, he sees them as his family and wants you to be happy with them too

* Most of the time he is very afraid of hurting you unintentionally or that someone will hurt you because of him.

* He often thinks about it by hugging you tightly

* He is surprisingly knowledgeable about your period and tries to remember everything he reads.

* I don't think he's very good at taking care of you when you're sick, but he's definitely trying. And he definitely ends up getting sick himself…

* He is reluctant to talk about his problems, so you have to push him. Because he's afraid to bother you

* He’s not afraid to cry next to you

* He lies to you when he fights, he doesn't want you to worry or be scared because of him

* But when that lie was exposed, when he saw how upset you were, he gave up.

* He can make mistakes but he's just a boy trying not to upset you

🔪 Ezra: A few different songs, most notably... We'll never have sex by Leith Ross, Let you break my heart again by Laufey & Philharmonia or Habits by Genevieve Stokes.

💐 Keith: Can't Help Falling in Love

🎮 Tenebris: Trust by 7 Seconds

🖥️ Virgil: Rises the Moon, it’s a comfort song of mine, my mum sings this to me and my younger siblings when we were little, by then whenever my mother is busy, I sing the song to my siblings. And Hopefully, I can sing it to my beloved, as a way to help them if they need comfort.

🎤 Adam: *fidgeting because he's written one song in particular that he'd love for MC to hear but is worried that MC will wind up hating it*

🔥 Harper: Ugh… Raisins

💐 Keith: Rabbit meat.

🎮 Tenebris: Anything with bugs.

🖥️ Virgil: Anything fish related, I do not like fish, but if someone ever served me, I would just suck it up and eat.

🎤 Adam: *doing 5 stages of disgusted face known to humankind* Anything from Saffrons freezer. (Interviewer: Time to raid Saffron's freezer hehehe)

🐕 Henry: I can’t bring myself to eat cauliflower. It's so bland!

Interviewer: *proceed to eat Mac & Cheese to spite Nova* I dont trust people who hates Mac & Cheese.

Question No 5: This would be a little bit of personal, so you have a choice not to answer this okay? Whats your most treasured possession?

❤️ Casanova: Mi vida’s house key, of course! it’s a little mangled bc i keep chewing on it though.

🕊️ Krow: Oh... w-well... t-this pendant is... p-precious but... well... I-I actually don't have m-many possessions. S-so... everything I have has m-meaning. (Interviewer: I can be your possession Krow)

🔪 Ezra: Eliana gave me a tie she made back in elementary school. Neither of our dads are in the picture so she gave it to me instead. I still wear it to work sometimes. (Interviewer: *starts crying bc this answer is so precious*)

💐 Keith: A bonsai tree I got from my father and I had for 7 years.

🎮 Tenebris: My guitar.

🖥️ Virgil: My necklace, it’s a gift from my dad.

🎤 Adam: You (MC). But if we're talking about an item...*he tugs on his earring*

🐕 Henry: A picture / polaroid of me + Buttercup as kids! (though, I do have more updated ones too…)

Interviewer: I am suprised no one answered MC's nose hair or whatever. Hmm.. Im not fully convinced but I will trust you on this one.

Question No 6: Nosy ask, whats your phone wallpaper right now?

❤️ Casanova: a photo of mi vida in the middle of taking their meds!

🕊️ Krow: D-Dove let us t-take a selfie! I-it's so cute aaaa--

🔪 Ezra: I managed to snap a photo of Sugar and Ellie cuddled up on the couch after a movie night once. I've never before felt so much love swelling in my chest. It almost hurt.

🔥 Harper: *proudly present his phone* 1st is my lockscreen and 2nd is my Homescreen. I took it myself..

💐 Keith: A pair of white lilies (Why is this the most normal answer on this whole interview?)

🎮 Tenebris: We share the same phone, so a pair of white lillies also.

🖥️ Virgil: Pixel art of my beloved Galaxy and my puppy Scott, aren’t they so cute in pixel form? (Interviewer: Scotty baby *coos at the phone* )

🎤 Adam: My home screen is of YOU (MC). My lock screen is of a stray kitten I found on my way to the studio that Ethans younger brother ended up taking in. (Interviewer: Do you have any other pics of the kitten? *cat lady vibes intensifies*)

🐕 Henry: A picture of Buttercup sleeping! How’d I get it? (Note: Its in a modern Au bc mobile phone with camera is not yet invented on Henry's time)

Interviewer: MC supremacy yass! If only some surgeon named Ketamine Yetrovzski use my photo as his wallpaper *coughs* (Ketamine shouting "NO" can be heard in the background but still here supporting the interviewer, this fuckin tsundere)

Question No 7: If you could appear in any popular movie/anime/book, which one would you choose?

❤️ Casanova: hmm, i would say the hp lovecraft series! hate the guy but i’m a major monster fucker

🕊️ Krow: Umm... I... I-I wanna be in a Jane A-Austen book. As a p-protagonist. N-no matter what... t-they marry happily in t-the end.

🔪 Ezra: Well... I guess... I'm not sure. I've never really thought about it. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I can't imagine my life without Eliana and I don't want to be anywhere without my sugarcube.

🔥 Harper: Ah.. thats a hard one.. If I get powers n shit and I’m not just a normal person maybe Jujutsu Kaisen?... Tbh I play more games than I do watch or read anything haha..

💐 Keith: Sherlock Holmes, because solving murder cases looks like fun. So does creating the perfect murder. *a sudden smoke appear near Keith for dramatic effect*

🎮 Tenebris: Inuyasha. I really want a Kagome. (Interviewer putting their Kagome costume)

🖥️ Virgil: Hmmmm that’s a tough one… Haha I couldn’t think of anything right now.

🎤 Adam: Death note, the anime. I think I could do a lot better with that notebook than light Yagami did. (Hermit, the creator, rolls their eyes behind the scenes and Adam glaring daggers to Hermit)

🐕 Henry: The Princess Bride! That movie is practically about me + Buttercup.

Interviewer: Im with Harper on this one. JJK so I cant prevent Nanami and Nobara Shibuya Arc huhuhu.

Question No 8 : What are some habits you have? Any strange ones?

❤️ Casanova: I tend to scratch at my braces when i’m trying to focus, often i’d end up chewing on my fingers.

🕊️ Krow: Uhh.... I... bite my h-hands... a lot. It's... a comfort t-thing. S-sometimes my forearms too. I-I guess I also make the same expression a-as to what I'm d-drawing.

🔪 Ezra: When eating food like burgers or sandwiches I eat around the edge and then eat the center last. Um... I also tend to rub things with my fingertips when I don't know what to do with my hands. I'm almost always touching my nails absent-mindedly.

🔥 Harper: I have a habit of scratching my fingertips, especially when I’m nervous… Its kinda a bad habit, sometimes I scratch em a little raw.

💐 Keith: Buttoning and unbuttoning my shirt sleeve when Im bored or nervous.

🎮 Tenebris: Leaving my things all over the bed

🖥️ Virgil: Hmmmm, whenever I play a video game that has levels right? And I messed up one thing, I restart the level. Don’t know why, I just like to go through the levels smoothly. It’s pretty frustrating if you ask me ahaha

🎤 Adam: I don't have any strange habits. I'm just a normal guy. (Someone shouts LIAR and its not Hermit, i swear. Or maybe?)

🐕 Henry: Hmmm…I have really bad sleeping habits if I’m being honest! I’m lucky if I can get 3 hours of sleep at night. As for strange ones, nope, I’m perfectly normal! (now the interviewer is also shouting LIAR)

Interviewer: That was the biggest lie Ive ever heard in my entire life Henry. *headache incoming* No one is normal here. Im not even normal smh.

Question No 9: This question was submitted by Gavin Hyeon of Camp Willlow Peak. Its time to test your flirting skill, give me one pick up line that you will probably use when flirting with MC. Gavin said he is watching you right now.

❤️ Casanova: if you were a heart i’d eat you out!

🕊️ Krow: N-no wonder i-it's overcast t-today. All t-the colors are in y-your eyes.

🔪 Ezra: Sometimes I wonder what good deed I did to deserve such a perfect soul like you to enter my life.

🔥 Harper: Pickup lines really aren’t my thing… Gavin did write down this one for me once though… Lets see it’s here somewhere…” *digs through his pockets and pulls out a piece of scrap paper* “Here it is… ‘Hey baby… You got any Italian in you?.. No?... Do you want some?’ …… I don’t get it 😐 *Gavin cheering in the background*

💐 Keith: Im really not a fan of pickup lines, but okay, "You're sweet enough to give me diabetes".

🎮 Tenebris: Tie your shoelaces, I don't want you falling for someone else!" (Legend says that until now, Tenebris is still waiting for MC to wear shoelaces and for them to be untied.)

🖥️ Virgil: Hmmm let me go grab my telescope, so I can admire the beautiful star.

🎤 Adam: *combusts into one giant human blush* (Hermit doing a voice over: He can only flirt on the fly. If he has to think his actions through he'll get self conscious and overheat from overthinking it)

🐕 Henry: If I could rearrange the alphabet, I’d put ‘U’ and ‘I’ together!

Interviewer: *currently helping Gavin to write his will of testament before he becomes Gavin Flavored Toasted Marshmallow, recipe by Harper*

Question No 10: This would be the last question, and I want to thank you again for giving me a chance to interview you. Before we end this, do you have anything you want to say to the people reading this?

❤️ Casanova: if you ever need fresh organs without having to do it yourself contact valentine’s anatomy distribution! we have a wide selection available, and if you’re a fellow yandere homie you get a discount!

🕊️ Krow: Uhh, well? I-I guess... t-thank you for... f-finding me interesting.

🔪 Ezra: Not particularly. I'm not sure why Lilith arranged the interview but I don't mind answering questions. I should probably head back into work soon though... Oh, I will say this. Thank you for coming into my life Sugar, I didn't think I could love someone like I love you.

🔥 Harper: .. Unshrimp your fucking backs, love you~

💐 Keith: Um, hello. I hope my answers weren't too boring.

🎮 Tenebris: No? I don't know 'em.

🖥️ Virgil: Hello everyone, I hope all of you have a wonderful day, afternoon, or night, make sure to take care of yourselves or else I will if you don’t mind hehe~

🎤 Adam: Is...YOU (MC) reading this? Because if you are, I hope to see you again really soon~

🐕 Henry: You guys are kinda weird for wanting an interview! I’m not quite sure what else to say though!

Interviewer: And that would be all. Thank you to our lovely guests for joining us today. And here is the bribe. List of all 2d characters MC currently simping for. Do what you want with that info.

Interviewer: Hi Hi guys! Again, CC here. Thank you again for entertaining this interview. To end this, may we ask for a few advices you can give for those aspiring artist out there or those who want to create their own vn.

NOVA belongs to @cannibalsweetheart : if you’re starting a project don’t feel unmotivated if you don’t get a lot of traction in the first few weeks, building a platform takes time, but soon enough you’ll gain an audience! (Demo link here)

Krow belongs to @thekrows-nest : While I don't have immediate plans for a VN (despite folks begging for it), for artist stuff, keep experimenting and trying out things. Don't be afraid to go to friends for advice. (:

Ezra belongs to @restartheartvn : lshdfksdfhj okay for my answer! My advice? Don't make something for other people. Make what YOU want to see. Make something that YOU are interested in. If you like... make something that you don't love and enjoy making people can tell. It doesn't come off as genuine and you'll burn out that way. Don't think about numbers or anything like that. Make stuff because it makes you happy. I make Restart Heart because I love my little passion project. I love it so much I get my nails done to match my game and spend most of the day thinking about it. I would still be making Restart Heart if no one played. Make something that you would want to make even if no one saw. Even if you were the only person in the world who loves it, make it because it brings you happiness. Sorry if that's cheesy or like super standard but it's genuine. (Demo link here)

Harper belongs to @campwillowpeak : Hmmm, other than the good ol’ practice practice practice?…Try and remember to have fun yeah? Don’t focus on numbers, yeah everyone wants more eyes on their work, thats normal, but if you focus only on how big you are you’re gonna burn out and get discouraged, stuff like that takes time, consistency, and a little bit of luck. In the meantime just have fun and make friends! Besides, people can tell if you’re trying to force it, an audience’ll more often stay if they can tell you’re legitimately having fun! And never just look at where you are now… Look at how far you’ve come from too!~

Keith & Tenebris belongs to @dualityvn : Make sure you set realistic goals for yourself. Taking on too many tasks and planning a project that is bigger than what you can currently manage can be your downfall. Stay positive and always create the things you yourself love! (Demo link here)

Virgil belongs to @wouldyoustayvn : Take your time! There’s no need to rush to make the game quickly! Make sure to take breaks!))

Adam belongs to @unknownhermit : Please get a good chair. It'll help in the long run when you're often crouched over your desk for hours on end. Don't be like me who hovers over my desk like a hermit crab shell.😅 Second thing is to just have fun creating and don't worry about what others think! I used to obsessively worry if my work was good enough and wound up never releasing it because I got self conscious. It wasn't until YOU and HIM that I actually had fun with what I was doing and I think that translated into my work. Create to create for yourself. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks because it's important to create what you love and are passionate about. And I'm sure a lot of us would love to see what sorts of things you'll come up with. 💙 (Demo link here)

Henry belongs to @homecomingvn : Ahh, I’m a really bad person to ask for advice if I’m being honest! I guess all I can really say is that no matter how silly you think your idea is, there will be an audience for it! It can be scary to put yourself out there, but honestly, this community is so incredibly supportive + I’ve met some amazing people here! Also, I’d recommend keeping various docs about your project! It’s nice to have it all in one (or 3 + a google slides in my case) place so you can have a clear idea about your wip + its characters. And lastly, be prepared for people to be horny! ^^ (okay, you dont have to call me out >…< will still send horny ask bc someone needs to 😙)

Just a little self indulgent ramblings. I dont know if anyone already know about this game, but one of my moots recommended this, its DONT LOOK VN and I tell you, its so good. The story premise, the creepy atmosphere and the voice acting are all on point. They have on going Kickstarter and they only have 8 days left to reach the goal. This is my way of helping since im unable to pledge bc the banks here in the country im currently residing are shitty and they keep declining, so please if you have means to support, please do. Lets help them to reach their goals.

Here is the link of the demo also and their socials:

DO IT FOR CHESTER!!

[galahadenough]

I admittedly went into the series not expecting much. It’s a superhero show. It’ll be fun! But somehow fucking DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is hitting almost every itch I have for queer representation that I don’t see enough, or any, of elsewhere.

First off, it’s a fun show. It’s hilarious. It doesn’t take itself too seriously in a way that lets it be fun, but clearly the writers take the the show seriously because of the inside jokes that don’t break the mood if you don’t get it and because of how well they treat their characters.

But I’m here to talk about the queer rep. BTW, spoilers ahead (I say while having one more season to go…)

I suppose that I’ve been taught to not expect much, especially from action or superhero genres where every hint of a gay character is treated like an amazing first that people are suppose to be grateful for. But I really wasn’t expecting this.

First remarkable thing is the sheer quantity. You want a queer character? How about 7? How about they be main characters? How about they be emphatically queer while being queer has nothing to do with that character’s plot??

But the best thing for me is how they show queerness.

I have always felt that, as much progress as we have made, the goal for media should be that Indiana Jones (or Bond, or anyone) can be queer in an unquestionable way. It shouldn’t need a big explanation or be a shock. My personal goal would be that any generic action hero can unexpectedly turn out to be queer because it could easily go any direction. And Indiana Jones casually gets the guy. Or whatever. And that’s what Sara Lance does.

Sara Lance is ~arguably~ the main character. Hard to have a main character with that big of a cast, but she counts enough to make my point. The main character is bi. Visibly and emphatically and gleefully bi. And the show makes damn sure this fact never gets forgotten, but it is not a part of her backstory. It just is, without reasons or explanations.

She spends a lot of the show Casanova-ing her way across history, seducing women right and left in such a traditional male-adventure-hero type role that had me so happy. She took on such a traditional role that women have never had and did it is such a matter of fact way. Her confidence was never questioned. Her competence was never questioned. Her sexuality was never questioned. She didn’t even need to “come out”, she just existed like it was normal.

And this same character is the one who has had the longest, healthiest, most stable relationship in the show. I don’t know what happens in the last season, but it honestly wouldn’t even feel like “burying the gays” if Ava died at this point. It wouldn’t feel like a punishment for being queer because it was so openly celebrated for so much of the show.

Now that I’ve got Sara out of the way (because I love her too much to write this without her), it’s time to get to Mick Rory. Because Mick is fucking fantastic.

Mick is even more shocking than Sara when it comes to queer rep because he represents so much of the less visible representation. He is so visibly male and tough and abrasive. He comes across as questionably literate and is known for being the brawn and pyromaniac of the group.

This isn’t the sort of character that is known for getting any queer representation, then he stops drinking just long enough to pop off one of the best, most impassioned speeches about being “othered” that I’ve ever heard, and probably the only time I’ve every heard the phrase used outside of niche online communities.

He turns out to be a writer… of space opera sci-fi romance novels. A prolific, published author who adores his army of female fans, which is more respect towards a female audience than most shows seem to have. An author who, when he finally revealed who he was, preferred that his fans continue to call him Rebecca when talking to him. This isn’t quite trans representation, but it is incredibly satisfying and normalizing. Someone who looks and acts like him being comfortable being called Rebecca combined with the fact that he didn’t even get a strange look over the choice.

He has been referred to as a “skirt chaser” but rarely shows interest in anyone. Honestly feels like decent rep for aromantic and/or monsterfucker (which is one of those categories that I feel belongs under the queer umbrella).

And I just love how queerness permeates the show. There is never a shocked “wait.. you’re gay!!”. There are no token gays that are quickly forgotten and there are also no queer characters whose plot point is being gay. It just exists naturally and normally and it feels fucking fantastic.

I could probably polish this up a bit, but it’s really gotten away from me. I really love this show, and I just needed to get this out!

Mr. Casanova/Queen Rosette

So I may have made a bio for this fella earlier BUT here is some extra info: He's the owner of a casino/hotel that is adults only (bcs this guy really do not like kids alos children make him uncomfortable). Also that hotel/casino is in a city where he's pretty much in charge of called Rosenblake which is on the same planet as the one Chris is living in. There actually has been a few instances of him actually pacifying his original victims AS LONG they work for him.

Also when in Drag, he has his hair down & he wears a mask to hide the fact he has a beard. (Also he has a obsession with drink fruity & alcoholic drinks, not beer though bcs beer is tasty.

Btw this is for a DT I'm having with a frend (which means imma have to take a break from drawing Ryan for awhile)

[tadpal]

btw i don't even hate the fanny being actually interested in henry crawford i actually think that's really interesting especially considering fanny is like. a month away from talking herself into love henry before the whole maria debacle my issue is that it's NOT FANNY that they've written going through that it's their snarky writer oc who they've given my beloved fannys name and story!! and that's not interesting to me all!! ten million billionth snarky brunette caught in a love triangle between nice boy-same-door and bad boy INSTEAD of girl going through an incredibly fraught i can fix him arc toward this horrible wandering wannabe casanova while dealing with her family expectations and the knowledge that her marriage to henry could save marias reputation and keep her close to edmund and literally doing everything to see the things she can love him im and then maybe she succeeds!! maybe really almost she chooses to love him and feels all that love and they can share that kiss on the beach or whatever like im SO PRO the double love triangles edmund fanny henry + fanny edmund mary but FANNY HAS TO BE FANNY

what fester saw (part 2)

aka "Fester is tired of watching Ketamine do the grown-up equivalent of pulling your crush's hair and running away 'cause you can't tell them you like them”

part 1 /// part 3

Warnings: swearing, brief mentions of violence. Reader/MC mentioned is gender-neutral. POV is a tarantula btw so suspension of disbelief is required. This is meant to be a bit fun and silly. This was originally a series of doodles I drew that I converted to fic form. lol Word count: 1360ish

Original source content is NSFW/18+/MINORS DNI.

Author’s note: Fester, Ketamine, and Casanova belong to @cannibalsweetheart.

It had been nearly three weeks since Fester first heard his human speak MC’s name, and he knew with one-hundred percent certainty this was his human’s true mate.

Fester knew it, even if his human didn’t. And right now, his human was blowing it.

He didn’t have much opportunity to study human courtship in the past, but Fester watched his human pace around their domicile while calling MC scathing names with a venomous tone on the talking device. Was he putting MC through some sort of test of endurance by treating them horribly? He did that once already this week!

‘They must be stronger than they sound if they’ve managed to survive his courtship this long,’ Fester thought as he watched his human pick out clothes for work. 

“Don’t waste your fucking time trying to buy me shit for breakfast,” his human said. “Yesterday you bought me coffee. I don’t even drink that shit and if I did - black, really?” He scoffed.

“That’s what Cas told me to pick up for you,” came MC’s wavering voice through the talking device speaker.

“Because that’s what Valentine likes to drink, idiot.” His human slipped his shirt over his head. “He barged into my office lookin’ for it. Bastard ducked when I tried to throw the fucking cup in his face.” He slicked his hair back with his hands once, twice, then gave up. He picked up his pants next. Fester heard the soft zip, the metal accents of the belt clinking as he pulled it through the loops.

“Well this conversation has guaranteed I’ll never make that mistake again, so if you just wanna tell me - hey, are you like, getting dressed or something?” The voice questioned with a squeak.

His human chuckled and Fester’s eyes widened at the sight of a grin - a feral smile full of teeth - that made his human look dangerously attractive. Too bad his mate couldn’t see it. “Not that it’s any of your fucking business but why, d’you wanna watch?”

Another squeak crackled over the speaker. “Oh, no, I’m fine. I’m sure you have it all under control. It’s not like you need my help or - you know what, I’m gonna go. Um, send me a text if you want me to pick up something for you? Okayseeyousoonbye-“ and they were gone with a click.

His human slipped the talking device into his pocket. Fester heard him mutter something about a 'fucking doll face' before disappearing from the room to finish his before-work routine.

Fester dug into his burrow and started to think about MC. His human’s mouth formed crooked smiles when he talked to them. When he self-mated at nighttime, Fester had heard his human choke out their name. Even though he spoke harsh words and mean names directed at them, his voice had gentled into liquid smoke rather than the usual biting edge that cut like barbed wire.

Despite his human doing literally everything wrong, according to Fester, MC persisted and accepted his advances. They were resilient, like his human was. Therefore, MC had his approval. His human needed help to finally claim this mate for his own, and by the time Fester drifted off to sleep, he knew what he had to do.

—

Fester shifted with impatience on his human’s chest and wondered if this is how he was going to die. For the last hour, he laid with his human on the bed. His human was tapping messages to MC on the talking device with a light flush dusting his cheeks. His chest heaved with puffs of suppressed laughter, his eyes crinkled at the corners when his mouth twisted in amusement. He didn’t even notice Fester skittering around on his stomach to avoid getting knocked off him. His human showed a subtle softness when he was alone in their domicile, but Fester had never seen him relaxed like this. He was shirtless and slowly melting into the mound of pillows and bedding beneath him. Usually when he spoke to other humans on the phone, he paced the room while spewing curses in more than one language.

Fester didn’t know a lot about wooing human mates, but this type of drawn-out seduction was testing his patience. MC might get bored if he kept teasing them like this. While he eavesdropped on all those conversations, Fester had scurried about inside his enclosure, chittering excitedly and nearly flailing his legs to try and get his human’s attention. ‘That is your mate! Finally, I am so proud. Why are you taking so long to bring them home to greet me? Wait, stop, why are you trying to make them cry again with those mean words?!’

Fester was caught off-guard when his human suddenly jerked like he’d been stung by something. “Fucking hell,” his human groaned. He dropped the talking device beside him then started to sit up. He cupped Fester in his hands and placed him near the foot of the bed. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he stood up and headed for the door. “I need a fucking cigarette.”

Once he heard the balcony door swoosh closed, Fester flew across the bed and pounced on the talking device left near the pillows. His human’s silent conversation with MC was still displayed on the screen. Fester was very intelligent for his kind, but his limited knowledge of human language would make a formal declaration of courtship impossible in the few minutes he had available. He swiped the screen awkwardly with his long legs and suddenly it filled with cartoon human faces. He recalled some of the expressions his human made while talking to MC, and he began tapping away.

—-

Ketamine tensed when he returned to his bedroom. He had a strange sense of being watched that made him feel uneasy. He scanned the room knowing no one was there but he couldn’t shake that feeling. He moved towards his bed and noticed Fester was sitting near his phone. He reached for it, but stilled his hand.

He looked closely at Fester. Fester, who was looking back at him with a manic gleam in all of his wide, beady eyes, whose body puffed up like he was gloating after subduing prey much bigger than himself. Ketamine snorted. "Dunno what your problem is, buddy."

The phone started buzzing on the bed and he answered when he saw who was calling. “What the fuck d’you want?”

“I was a bit - well, confused by your last message? And you didn’t respond, so…”

Ketamine frowned, unaware that Fester had slowly crept across the bed and was crawling along the floor in the direction of his enclosure. “I have no idea what you’re talkin’ about, Heart Disease.”

“I guess you should check your phone then. If you want to talk about it, call me back, okay?” Click.

Ketamine tapped the screen and saw some very confused messages about whether there was something wrong, or maybe he was texting the wrong person. He scrolled up higher and amongst the gibberish his phone had sent, he saw —

“THE FUCK IS THIS?!” he yelled. He nearly dropped the phone, whether in embarrassment or surprise, he couldn’t say. No wonder they were confused, he’d never do something so fucking cringey, but then who…? 

He scanned the covers and realized his busybody pet was nowhere to be seen. He stalked over to Fester’s enclosure where he’d escaped to and leaned down.  His pet was sitting on his favourite mound of damp moss, eating pieces of a mealworm with all the fucking grace of a satisfied cat.

Ketamine stared at Fester.

That little shit stared right back.

Ketamine tapped the screen a couple times and listened to the dial tone. After two rings, they picked up.

“Ket?” That fucking voice always said his name with nervous anticipation. Before tonight he could only guess what they wanted from him, but maybe —

He noticed his reflection in the glass of Fester’s enclosure. Despite the death glare he had been shooting at his pet, the side of his mouth was ticked up in a smirk.

For fuck’s sake.

“Hey Dollface, how do you feel about spiders?”

P.S. MC sarcastically called Ketamine 'Sir' during their convo which is why he needed a break. >.> And I imagine the emoji spam Fester sent looked something like this:

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

13 is funny right bc like. okay shes both tesla And byron. shes bumbling little awkward cuteboy inventor And uh "a man proud, moody, cynical, with defiance on his brow, and misery in his heart, a scorner of his kind, implacable in revenge, yet capable of deep and strong affection". that.

and heres the thing i wonder bc these are both like, archetypes girls like, right? it's like when i was 14 going if i were a companion i simply wouldnt fall in love with the doctor rip to rose but im different and then being 22 going oh no im not different, right? like these are,, the Types. this is why people went so fucking insane bonkers over 10 right? hes also both. obviously because hes the same character and also he looks the part. 12 also is the same guy but he doesnt look the part. he looks like,,, well idk like a sorta wannabe punk anarchist i guess

im being meandering bc im not sure what im trying to say but i have a Wonder bc like. basically i wonder if 13 does the same thing as 10 does. i mean like as a character not like their literal Actions i mean their Effect on their Audiences does it come from the same Thing

bc wait heres another thing that goes in here right bc like 10 was based on david tennant doing casanova right? i havent seen it, i have it downloaded but like, it's sort of in the name you can kinda see where,,,, it all comes from. and then 13 was based on adult life skills anna right? now i HAVE watched that and it's EXTREMELY 13 but is it a byronic hero no it is not. it is nonetheless extremely appealing to me in a fangirl big embarrassing crush kinda way. like in a 14 yo fangirling over david tennant kinda way. im assuming. like technically it's definitely a 25 yo fangirling over 13 kinda way but how different is that really

and thats actually i think exactly what im wondering. how different IS that really. is the thing that appeals abt 13 is that what people feel abt their wet men? im watching that video essay abt snapewives again btw maybe good context to have. bc theres this thing abt the wet men people like right? like, theres this aspect of wanting to like, save them? like youve got a wet sad prettyboy and you can cheer him up. or youve got a wet sad meanyboy and he only likes you. right? theres thoroughness & nuance im missing but thats what i understand. with my head bc with my heart ive never been close. unless 13 counts bc then im very close but im very much wondering if she counts and if she doesnt then why not

IS 13 a byronic hero in how we ('we' here defined as people who have a gay little crush on her) relate to her or is she NOT bc she doesnt look the part? like 12

another question: if 13 is not a byronic hero is that because she doesnt look the part or bc of other factors. are the other factors there BECAUSE she doesnt look the part? if thats the case i'd expect it to work the same with 12. does it? (i mean like, people's biases abt age and gender subconsciously affecting either/both which traits we highlight/notice in them?)

if 13 is NOT a byronic hero, ARE there women byronic heroes i could use to compare here? (kinda expecting like an woman in gideon the ninth series here which i still havent finished)

[itsays]

my gmmtv 2023 review

the interest - now why are we giving pretty privilege boy roles out of his range. AGAIN. be so serious rn. you know who would’ve slayed this role? apo. might watch though ngl lol

beauty newbie - i was like totally sold on it until win came on screen lol it is funny though that he is playing eunwoo’s role... you know... the pretty privilege boys together

our skyy 2 - it’s giving kpop boy group and that’s not a compliment. also there is no way these couples are popular? earthmix ohmnanon and firstkaoh sure i believe you but the rest? somebody call nugupromoter. no offense to joong. 

midnight museum - finally real fucking television. finally gun being cast with a fellow ACTOR. i win. like im so excited ARE YOU DUMB!!!!

the jungle - this doesnt have subs PISSING ME OFF. they need to stop trying to sell us krist as a casanova be so serious rn. the male cast is mostly but not entirely bad... while the female cast is excellent i fear so yes i think i will watch this...

dangerous romance - i dont know what that trailer was supposed to be lol i’ll wait for it to come out to decide ... it doesnt look... good? um... but i guess

faceless love - i do not like dew. sorry to him but in association to bw i do not like him. i was surprised to see peach here? let out a scream when i saw kao. my baby kao being paired up with the enemy i could cry.... you know im watching this be so fucking serious. i see this is based off a jdrama... that i didnt like lol but whatever

only friends - this looks soooooooooo messy. drama of the year idk

loneliness society - there’s A LOT of remakes this year... i kinda wanna watch this but i also kinda dont wanna watch anything with joss in it so idk

last twilight - YOU WILL NEVER BE LAST TWILIGHT IN PHUKER YOU WILL NEVER BE TEH AND OH-AEW YOU WILL NEVER BE BKPP GIVE UP. this sounds like a really interesting concept gmmtv does not have the range for.... but... i might give one or two episodes a chance because again. interesting concept.

wednesday club - the absolute happiness i got when i saw jane here bro she didnt post ANYTHING about this i thought she had no projects i was losing it... MESSY MESSY MESSY YOU KNOW I WILL BE TUNING IN BE SO FUCKING SERIOUS RN ANOTHER CONTENDER FOR DRAMA OF THE YEAR excited for ohm jane and joon together SLAY!

cooking crush - give this ship up to god i BEG gun is way too good for this when will he get something on his level. i would watch for gun honestly. but it doesnt even look GOOD

phro thoe khue rak raek - this does not have an english name. does that mean it’s a lakorn? i dont really like those... i also dont like that prim (it girl btw) is being paired with dew and this is not my vendetta against him i SWEAR it’s because he looks so much older than her even though i googled it and it’s 4 years but idk she’s still a kid

23.5 - well im obviously watching this be so serious rn lol they really threw some bl there out of nowhere i was so confused like alskfjaksjfalk CAN WE LEAVE WOMEN ALONE? PLEASE? anyways this looks so cute uwu 

hidden agenda - i REALLY like joong and i wish all of the projects gmmtv give him didnt SUCK like lmao i am so upset give him something good i beg of you. and if you must use him as fanservice at least AT THE VERY LEAST give him a partner that is up to his caliber. couldnt they just pair joong with jamie IDK! remember my post where i said men get everything handed to them with lead roles for their debut and girls have to work in the background for years to be promoted to support actresses?

double savage - terrible name but i saw ohm with a gun so slay. i didnt understand this trailer at all to be honest but i think i might watch? looks very different from what they usually do so that’s interesting

find yourself - you had me at older woman younger man i fear alskfjakjfa ONE OF MY FAVORITE TROPES AND GUILTY PLEASURES... IF YOU WILL and honestly i was upset because to me it looked like the male lead was 25 and the female lead was like 30 so i was like BOO TOMATO TOMATO they arent even committing but then i googled them and turns out he’s 26 and she’s 42 WOAH that’s a lot. well anyways i most likely will watch this. ok so the characters... 23 and 38... oh that’s bad. just turn off your brains girlies

a boss and a babe - it doesnt look BAD but it doesnt look... good....

enigma - i was REALLY into this until i saw win.... that man does not have the range for this.... also.... is that like... a teacher student relationship.... um.......... i HOPE im the one misunderstanding because that would ruin an otherwise really promising drama?

two videos are hidden and i dont know what they are?... one is definitely cherry magic but what’s the other one and why arent they there? anyways i gotta SAYYYYY i am very curious to see that trailer alskfjaskfjakl

overall thoughts:

i think (at least from this trailers) gmmtv dramas are starting to look better visually which is crazy. but i wonder if they simply used this level of quality because it’s just like. trailers and not the real thing. i hope not because it looks a lot better like this

i dont know if im in the wrong here but i am growing progressively angrier and honestly resentful of bls. the way they are favored the way we get quantity over quality the way they overshadow everything the way they inevitably result in women being thrown to the back and neglected. im starting to think a mass extinction needs to happen. boycotting it isnt enough i need them gone.

you gotta give it to them, they DID stray away from what they usually do in terms of genres and stories...

gmmtv is actually fun when you ignore the bl and focus on the rest i always say this!

i dont think i saw gawin ONCE.... 

no way they’re promoting gawin and krist as a couple😭

i didnt see kapook :( like... she got no projects but i know she was there meaning she’s back to background character :(((

i couldnt help but notice milklove outdid literally half of the bl couples in interactions on twitter and i smile.

honestly. after comparing this year’s review to the last two I HAVE TO SAY. this is MILES better than anything they’ve done before...

i swear to god gmmtv had so many female rookies and i say NONE of them other than prim? although she’s barely even a rookie atp... but the other girls where are they? i swear to god there were at least 5..... nowhere to be seen here

i feel like they are giving prim main girl treatment and that is very pleasing to me bc she is a STAR easily the best actress gmmtv has currently (from the younger side at least)

oh and i forgot. what a wasted opportunity not to have tor and kao together. en fin la hipotenusa.

[baltears]

why is every canon final fantasy ship so insufferable

[talesofsonicasura]

Sun Wukongs I know and personal nicknames

Something I thought of writing down and will update. Go from most known to least known.

Hero Is Back- Dāsheng

A name that he's commonly called throughout the English Sub of the movie and for the videogame. Quite simple plus more easy for me to remember. Has a small stubby tail that he prefers to keep hidden.

Lego Monkie Kid- Diva

He gives me pure diva vibes. Exaggerate some situations like running out of peach chips or is too lax at a serious problem such as MK's magic mishaps. Makeup game is on point alongside some outfits.

Saiyuki Journey West- Hermit

Wise and mischievous type that only travels for important business or visit loved ones living far away. Otherwise he gives advice, assist, and tell tales to his kingdom.

Journey To The West 1996- Teacher

Most likely to get out of a problem without much issue due to 'Out of the Box Thinking'. (Man literally acted like a marriage councilor for Demon Bull King/Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan.) Happily teach others if they are willing to listen to his rules and is quick to help those struggling with something. A little extra but means well. Tail acts a bit wonky making it unable to hold stuff for long.

Stephen Chow movies Sun Wukong- Feral

The type to stir trouble in two ways. Extravagant or stealthy manipulation, anything explosive and embarrassing are the most used. Will bite someone's ankles if they call him short. Has a stubby tail so he keeps up his human glamor as he rather not have someone notice.

Adventures From China Monkey King- Trick

Pulls small pranks or tends to trick people. Would definitely start a prank way for shits and giggles. If someone does manage to prank him, he takes it in stride. Not really a sore loser.

Digimon's Gokuwmon- Silverback

Second biggest Sun Wukong iteration. A bit reclusive fighting fanatic. Very bitter from having the tightening circlet placed to his head after being born. Takes time to trust others but is fiercely loyal once a bond is established. Nickname being given from his silver fur coat.

Monkey King Reborn- Flame

Hotheaded and fiery temper to match. Will throw hands with someone that pisses him off so you got to hold him back. Mischievous shit who is quick to get annoyed upon being caught in whatever shenanigan he's currently up to.

Nezha Reborn Sun Wukong- Gamble

Will bet on almost everything and likes to take a dangerous or insane route for any situation. Most likely find him at a casino that ends up going bankrupt since he's an expert card shark. Has a short tail and doesn't really care if someone sees it.

Unruly Heroes Sun Wukong- Wild

The type of person to be chilling on someone's rooftop or sleeping in trees. Probably jump into animal exhibits at the zoo or jailbreak all the simians. Will steal food from people like a wild monkey.

Smite Sun Wukong- Warrior

Fighting fanatic. Most likely host a small tournament or issue a friendly challenge. When not in a fighting mood, found enjoying good food and fine wine. Great drinking buddy, martial arts teacher from hell.

Aura Star Online- Acrobat

Has a hard time keeping still and will be a bit extra whether traveling and in a fight. Most likely to free climb any tall structure to even performing flips across the terrain. Will sneak into any performance just to steal the show. Has a short stubby tail that he prefers to keep hidden but doesn't have much of a reaction if someone sees it.

Tower of Saviors- Casanova

Suave smooth talker capable of seducing many. A huge wine lover that tends to shift between young, old, handsome or beast like appearance. Very committed to a solid relationship. Is very polite to advances if they didn't know he's in a relationship and understand that he's taken. Shift into a more monstrous form to chase off any that don't get the hint and keep pressing.

(Aura Star Online Sun Wukong btw)

[dawndelion-winery]

ive returned! again, congrats on 500, ive been following for a while, and i love love your prince series lmao. anyways, im coming back to pick grapes with kaeya! btw, for both asks, i use he/him, so if you're ok with leaning towards a moreasc gn! reader, that would be great :] mayhap will come back for a last round??

--spades.

Aww, tyvm<3 I wasn't really sure anyone actually liked the series all that much.

Dearest friend,

I've been thinking, you don't seem to take me very seriously when I say you're special to me. I know I've quite the casanova's reputation, but surely you can trust the words of a friend? I'm almost hurt to think you don't have as much faith in me as I do you, you know? And that's only the tip of the iceberg. Friend? Even after all this time? We even grew up together and trained side by side. Do you truly not see me as anything more? If you don't mind, I'd like to give us a shot.

Your friend,

Kaeya

[chapter two; chapter three]

A/N: i'm just feeding my jegulus obsession alright? this was my best friend's idea btw. i love her mind.

☆.｡.:* - *:.｡.☆

The greenhouse was the last place James Potter wanted to be in today. Not because he hates it, no. He actually quite enjoys herbology class, it is interesting. He admits that only when Lily is around though. But today, it was raining knives out and it took a ten-minute walk from where James was to reach the greenhouse. He still had Quidditch practice for Merlin's sake, why was he even going there? It's not like anyone forced him to! 

As much as Remus would throw in his face that he had a hero complex going on, he'd settle for believing he was simply a good person. James couldn't bear to see someone crying and not approach to try to even out the situation. Maybe bring a smile to the person's face.  

Who wouldn't slip a smile whenever James Potter was around? He was completely sunshine in a human being's body.  

He has a heart of gold as Lupin would describe. It can fit more than you can imagine in there. All the goodness in the world is probably shoved up in his chest.  

That is why James was running after Regulus Black, getting drenched in the pouring rain as the Black boy reached the greenhouse and stormed in.  

Regulus didn't realize James was behind him until his voice spoke up.  

“Regulus,” James called out, causing the raven-haired boy to turn around startled. Regulus surprised expression quickly morphed into a cold glare.  

“What.”  

What indeed. What were you doing there, James? 

“Why'd you run off?” James gulped down his nervousness, trying to sound more sure of himself. He never knew why but whenever Regulus was around his confidence would drop minus seventy percent. It was concerning.  

“Why did you run after me?” Regulus snapped, plucking out a lily flower from one of the vases.  

“It's bloody storming outside. You could've slipped!”  

Cold gray eyes stared at James' hazel ones as if it could burn into his soul. “So?” Regulus frowned, plucking out another lily. James winced. He doesn't know why. “Is that why you came after me? To prevent me from slipping and making a fool out of myself? It's not like I've been doing exactly that for a year now.” The last part was a mere whisper. But James heard it. There were only two people inside the greenhouse. The glass caused a bit of an echo through the storm outside. Regulus' voice sounded scarier than it actually was.  

“You're not a fool,” James' said, forehead creasing in thought. He wanted to figure out why Regulus would storm out like that. But the truth was right on his face. He had been just too damn thick to not see it sooner. Much like he did not realize Sirius feelings for Remus during all the longing looks and jealous glares he'd send every person that would remotely touch their Moony. Yes, James Potter was a bit oblivious in the romance department. As good as he was in Quidditch, he was just as bad at realising stuff right in front of him. Maybe it was the Potter bad-eyesight gene. He should've realized the redness around Regulus Black's cheeks every time he was having a study section with Remus Lupin was not from cold but from blushing.  

Regulus was blushing because of Remus.  

James' mind was a whirlwind of past encounters. He guessed his Moony friend really was the Casanova of Griffyndor, wasn't he?  

“We can't really help who we fancy, Reg—” Sending an exasperated look in James' direction, Regulus turned away with a groan right after.  

“Do not psychoanalyze me, Potter—” 

“Psychic what?” That was the longest and most difficult word James has heard all of his life. Blacks and their damn pureblood etiquette. “Look, I'm just trying to help you.”  

“Who said I needed your help?” Regulus snapped again, walking towards James as if he was going to strike him. “You come here in all your glory of saviour and then what? You don't even know what is going on!” 

“Because you won't let me, Regulus!” 

Silence overthrows their shouting match into soft tones.  

“Why won't you let me?” James asked helplessly. He has tried to approach Regulus before. But it was to no use; he just wouldn't budge. Hell, even Peter was someone Regulus could hold a five-second conversation with. Why not James? What's wrong with James? 

When Regulus turned his back on him, James sighed frustrated.  

“You're stupid, you know? If you think he would notice anything and confess first, then you're just nuts, that's what you are.” James didn't let Regulus talk, so the raven-haired Black simply pressed his lips together. “Remus values friendship more than anything. So much that when he knew he fancied Sirius, what do you think he did? Huh? He shrank that into his chest as if it could disappear. But that's not what it does. It breaks you. It swallows you. Until you can't breathe anymore.”  

The youngest Black stood quiet, staring at James. There was a curious glint in his gray eyes.  

“With Sirius, it was the same thing. And I still think he fell first. Perhaps, I didn't realize it before. But since the first moment Padfoot put his eyes on Moony... Something happened. His eyes were more alive whenever Remus was around. Whenever Remus is around. That hasn't changed.” James meets Regulus' sharp gaze. “That isn't going to change. So, you have to move on. I'm not saying this as Sirius' best friend, I'm saying this as your friend, which I'm trying to be here. They love each other, there is no space for anyone else. At least not now. Please, Reg. You deserve better than someone that isn't fully there for you, alright?”  

And it was the truth: Regulus had yet to see James until that moment. Until those words spurted out of his lips. Kind and pure words of concern over him. No one had ever said something like that—so caring—to Regulus.  

“Why?”  

James tilted his head. He looks exactly like a lost puppy, thought Regulus and he mentally scoffed.  

“Why what, Reg?” 

Reg.  

It was different from 'Reggie', which was what Remus would call him.  

Why was he even delaying on this? 

“Why would you say that I deserve better?” Regulus stood in front of James, scrutinizing him with his eyes. James took a sharp intake of breath, feet retracting to get some space on their own. “We barely know each other.”  

“And whose fault is that?” James found himself blurting out, shakily with their proximity.  

“As far as I know you're not very fond of Slytherins, Potter...” 

“Bullshit!”  

Regulus' eyebrow twitched slightly, “Really?”  

James scoffed, taking a step back cautiously. “Might be true that I don't like some of your... friends,” Regulus scowled at him, “But I never argued with you, did I? I even tried once... You just never gave me a chance.” A chance to what? Become friends? With Regulus Black? Is that what you wanted, James? 

How exactly would that work? 

“You have your chance now,” Regulus said lowly, studying James with something he couldn't figure out. Slightly terrifying. James never knew what Regulus was thinking. He looked a lot like Sirius but acted completely different.  

James' breath hitched when Regulus touched his tie, adjusting it as if it was nothing.  

“What then, James?” James? He- he never called me James... “What are you gonna do so we can be friends?” Their breathing was mixing together and James simply couldn't move. His limps were glued and Regulus was smirking.  

When the expected rejection didn't arrive, Regulus crashed his lips on Potter's.  

Of anything James could think at that moment, the only thought that echoed in his mind was how could someone act so cold yet their lips be so warm and soft? 

James didn't realize the movements his body made in response to the kiss, but his hand gripped the back of Regulus' neck as if his life depended on it. Their lips weren't in sync at first because James had no idea what was happening. Until his brain shortcuts and every limb in his body moved on its own.  

Regulus' ego might have burst at that, but he would never ever in a million centuries admit that out loud.  

Why in Merlin's name am I kissing James Potter? His mind yelled. He promptly ignored it.  

A loud noise of crashing made both break apart startled. That was the minute James' brain turned back on.  

“What...” James begins, breath failing slightly. Regulus took his breath away. Literally. “I--” 

“It stopped raining,” Regulus commented, studying the sky through the glassed windows of the greenhouse — it wasn't completely sunny but the heavy thunderstorm had stopped. It was possible to walk back without getting drenched now. “Safe for you to go now, Potter. Your made-of-sugar-body won't be destroyed.”  

“Where do you think you're going?” James grabbed his forearm, making Regulus tense. “What was that?”  

“That was the weather coming alive again. Are you familiar with rain, James? The act of condensed water that forms clouds and then droplets—”  

“Reg!” James stomped. Stomped his foot on the ground. And Regulus couldn't keep the laugh roaming inside him. James turned red in frustration. “You just- just-did that!”  

Regulus sighed, “You need me to explain what a kiss is too? I thought your Lily flower taught you that...” 

Oh.  

Oh.  

Lily.  

He had a date with Lily this weekend and he had kissed Regulus Black! 

No. Regulus had kissed him. Definitely not the other way around.  

“It is hurting your brain to think hard, Potter?” 

“If you don't shut up—” 

“Unless you'd like me to shut you up, again...”  

James huffed, “You're just using me to make yourself feel better, Black! Remus doesn't reciprocate your feelings so by snogging your brother's best friend— what does that accomplish, exactly?” James snapped, narrowing Regulus down as he stepped closer. The youngest Black tensed. “Making Sirius be slightly mad at me or even farther from you?”  

Regulus would give Potter five points for considerating this through. He hadn't thought James was possible to have a single cruel bone in his body, but this had been just...  

No. Potter would not get to you. Do you hear yourself? You're better than this. Regulus subconscious grumbled.  

“Try explain to him why you kissed me back then,” Regulus smirked, looking him up-down. By the way James clenched his jaw he knew he had the upper hand again. “And why, deep down, you'd like to do it again.” The last part was a whisper; one that would hunt James Potter's dreams for the rest of the semester.  

Regulus walked out of the greenhouse with his ego trumping but a still broken heart. It was better than nothing, right?  

He had lost something that night, but perhaps it wasn't so bad. He had gained another even if he didn't realize it at that moment.

And so I finished my SVSSS reread

(except for some extras)

One of the things I love so much is that the last chapter of the story proper is entitled “The Story Begins” and that the last words of the last chapter are:

Or, in other words, the story that circulated among the people of the world has already come to an end. But, the story between you and me has only just begun.

Because it really is the beginning of the story proper, isn’t it? Of the relationship between SQQ and Binghe, of living unfettered by or unbeholden to the original narrative, of Binghe’s insecurity slowly healing and even of the two of them working on sexual compatibility. I love that this is the end of the novel but the beginning of their relationship and continuation of their change and growth - they have left the narrative but they are not in stasis and their relationship and they themselves will continue to change and grow.

A sidestep of sorts but I love that they have bad sex. Let me explain - so often in novels, virgin protagonists with no experience might as well be Casanova reborn but I find it so realistic that SQQ is clueless and Binghe is terrible but they are both actually working on it and trying to find things that work and learning together and the results are not spectacular (yet) but better (and side note, I love that Binghe is totally willing to be top or bottom, he genuinely doesn’t care, that’s rare in danmei) and the whole very realistic point that sex like relationships in general is something that is not necessarily effortless and needs to be worked on but if you have love and openness and desire to make the other person happy, you will eventually get there. It’s a very real touch in a highly fantastical novel. Supposed Sex God Binghe is terrible at sex (hopefully only at first) but SQQ prefers his Binghe to the OG Binghe who is not because he loves “our Binghe,” weepy terribleness in bed and all. (Side note, I find OG Binghe yet another of the “tragic backstory created a monster and nothing got fixed” instances in this novel and I love the sense of discomfort that introduces. MXTX’s sheer refusal to tie everything with a bow is wonderful. I have no idea if she meant to ditch the extras halfway or not btw, but that itself actually ends up adding the feeling of a real world progressing and into which you only get a peek.)

To get back a little, I think it is so significant that the novel ends when SQQ openly picks Binghe in front of his sect - he leaves the sect to go with Binghe (yes, one can say he picked him in chapter 80 also, but it was a save the world situation and with no witnesses.) Because the thing that almost ended the world, the thing that drove Binghe literally insane was the (not unjustified) belief that nobody ever put him first, nobody ever chose him, and he believed that SQQ would never pick him over the sect, that SQQ would abandon him. When he says “I hate myself for being useless. I hate myself for not being able to get anybody to stay. Never...has anyone been willing to choose me” and:

“Pitiful?” Luo Binghe murmured, “Correct, I’m pitiful. Even if Shizun is only pitying me, that’s fine. Shizun, can’t you stay by my side just once?”

Tears rolled down his cheeks.

Luo Binghe gritted his teeth, his eyes scarlet. “Shizun, you always let go of me time and time again.

“Every time, every time, anyone, anything! They can all become your reason for abandoning me, and sometimes you don’t even need a reason! It’s like this every single time!”

The novel proper ends not just when SQQ demonstrates to Binghe he’s wrong but when Binghe genuinely believes it. And it is so wonderful to me that the climax, the necessary event that completes the narrative is not saving the world or defeating the big boss (in fact, there isn’t really a big boss) but protagonist realizing he’s loved and put first and finding the security he sought all his life. It is emotional fulfillment, not world domination. It is escaping the confines of narrative and seeking what a real person seeks - happiness. “Book” Binghe, being a character, can power through terrible backstory because its only purpose is to show how BAMF he is to rise from his unfortunate beginnings to the demon ruler of the world. Our Binghe, a real person, is damaged by his terrible past, is affected and hurt by it, and those wounds will inform what he’s like for the rest of his life - because he’s a real person with real reactions. And so his happy ending is starting on the process of healing those wounds of abandonment through knowing he’s unshakably loved and put first. He (and SQQ) get a happy ending but it’s very much NOT a “and then they lived happily ever after” because this never works like this for real people - that is a static frozen in amber happy ending and this whole long novel is dedicated to demonstrating that these are real people and real people are not confined to simplified narrative, to tropes, or to being “complete” and never changing - the happy ending is “and their story continues, with them changing and growing and adjusting to each other and healing slowly and dealing with things” because this is how a full, loving happy life is.  

This has turned into a very verbose love letter and I am sorry but I really really love this novel.

Don't know if you still answer headcanons, but I'm interested what you think would be the mercs' ideal partner. Love your art btw!

Hey there, thank you so much! Sure, I'm always down to answering headcanons. :D

Scout: Well, we know that he's into girls that are way out of his league like Ms. Pauling. But what he probably needs is someone who boosts his ego and takes him seriously, who gives him confidence in his abilities but takes none of his shit the same time.

Soldier: Zhanna's just as insane, dumb and violent as him and she doesn't judge or berate him for his odd behaviour. He really found his soulmate in her. <3

(Pyro: Since Pyro is mentally a child and delusional, I highly doubt he's interested or even capable of imagining an ideal romantic partner. The thought of that makes me quite uncomfortable in fact.)

Demo: He needs someone who gives him emotional stability and wants to be around him and spend as much time with him as possible. It would be great if his partner could help him to get over his alcohol-dependency and abandonment issues. A kind, warm-hearted and patient soul.

Heavy: It seems he is always looking for someone to protect. He wants to be needed. A small, petite partner (bonus: with red hair and/or a good cook) who activates his protective instinct would be perfect for him.

Engie: A lively, kind person who enjoys both the simple things in life (like a barbecue party, a sing-along or a relaxing afternoon in the sun) as well as heated academic discussions and new inventions. Someone who he can talk shop with on equal terms. It would be very hard for him to find someone like that unfortunately. :(

Medic: Honestly, I just can't imagine him being interested in romance at all. There is SCIENCE to do after all. (Yeah, yeah, I know one of Demo's voicelines implies Medic may have (had) a wife, but still.)

Sniper: He likes his lone-wolf lifestyle too much to settle down with anyone. If he had a partner they'd have to give him as much space as possible. Independence and freedom are the most important things to him.

Spy: In his youth he was quite the Casanova with a lot of intense, yet short-lived affairs. Now that he's older, he may be willing to engage in a long-term relationship with a worthy lady that he can regale with fancy dinners, fancy shows, fancy dances, fancy everything. Money is of no concern. He wants her to feel like a queen and the most important person in the world.
