#it better not be more than $100 cause you can easily get a backbone for $100 and it does the same thing

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

I had a fun time experiencing the Sony direct through your posts! I think I should go watch it for myself, but what would you say the top reveals are?

Yay I'm glad you liked it. XD I guess I shoulda posted more (I wasn't sure if I was gonna annoy ppl not warning them abt my posts before hand fksdfaj;)

But yeah it was fun, it's like 99% trailers so it's def a fun watch (esp since you can easily skip the trailers you don't care for).

Hmmmmm I think for the general public it's probs Metal Gear, Spiderman, and.........hmmmmm RE4 VR? Assassins' creed? FF16? Or maybe it was GhostRunner 2.....Probs GR2 cause it's new (the other RE/AC/FF we all knew were coming out...same with Spiderman 2 but you know kfldsjafkl)

I liked everything that was shown. I guess I'm most excited for AC (I'm a slut for AC jkfldsajf maybe it's trash but it's my trash!), Talos Principle 2 (mama's eating good today!), Alan Wake 2, and.....hmmmm Phantom Blade O looks neat!

I didn't talk about PBO but then entire time I'm like "JFDSKLAJFKLA IS THAT GHOST OF TSUSHIMA 2??? NO MAYBE IT'S THAT NIOH 3 GAME!! PLEASE BE NIOH 3!! TT0TT OR MAYBE IT'S SEKIRO 2???" God I hope I get Nioh 3 soon TT0TT But that's Sony only so u_u unless they break tradition for the xbox thing it looks like I still gotta wait.......

Neva caught my eye (I love the artstyle and I love wolves/doggos with antlers....may or may not have played with that idea myself kfjdlsa)

Fairgame looked like if Watch Dogs and Cyberpunk had a baby so I'm fairly interested.

But yeah I liked all the game shown and would be willing to play them all kldjsaflka XD

haikyuu boys that ━━

━━ would absolutely, definitely, 100% get nauseous, dizzy, possibly might faint, while their s/o is in labor. one peak and they’re doubling over the hospital bed, inhaling deeply and exhaling sharply, steeling themselves. some are surprising, some are expected. all are stupid.

iwaizumi hajime; he just cannot. he cannot fathom what is happening. there is no way you’re going through that and surviving. no wonder you’re screaming in pain. of course you’re screaming in pain. he takes one look at what’s going on and just immediately takes a step back, eyebrows raised and hand pressed to his chest like “my god.” he’s an 8/10 though because he is incredibly supportive and those arms are great to grab onto. will not complain for a second (is strangely way too quiet), but he’s worryingly pale. maybe he’s quiet cause if he speaks he’ll throw up. 

miya atsumu; he’s this close to screaming. or crying. possibly both. he can’t tell if he’s scared in general or scared for you or if he’s hurting seeing you hurting. in fact, no one can tell. he just looks like he’s watching an alien abduction happen right before his eyes. like a 6/10 because he probably does actually faint. it’s almost as if he’s the one in labor. and he’s the annoying kind of supportive that makes you want to smack him like shut the fuck up i’m pushing a whole child out of me right now. but his reactions are extremely endearing and hilarious to watch back because he most definitely insisted on filming. 

akaashi keiji; the silent struggler. really doesn’t wanna make it obvious at all. like he really, really, really doesn’t want you knowing that he’s uncomfortable in any way, but he’s like, sweating from how nauseous he is. a big part of it is hating seeing you in pain; he cringes every time you so much as groan or pant. 7/10 because he’s incredibly supportive but his hands are way too clammy :/ like fr get a grip keiji. again, supportive, but his voice is shaky so it’s like, really ineffective. he cries when he sees his baby and it automatically makes him an 11/10.

sakusa kiyoomi; absolute coward. pussy. it’s not about hygiene, he’s just genuinely mortified. keeps asking you’re okay like,,, what do you think, sir? he keeps looking even though every time he does it doesn’t get any better? question mark? you can see him visibly gulping cause he’s in so much shock. like a 5/10 because he forgets to hold your hand. just stands there. eyes wide and mouth parted like a dumb fish. chokes back on his sobs when he hears his baby’s cries and it’s adorable how he brings his hand up to silence himself so maybe he’s a 7/10.

goshiki tsutomu; please he probably has a panic attack mid labor. definitely screams with you and all the nurses and the doctor are like ???? holds your hand tighter than you’re holding his. apologizes the whole time. the whole time. like the doctor asked him if he wants to see what’s happening, which idk why they would consider that a smart idea, and he just wailed like, “baby i’m so sorry, i’m so sorry, can we just adopt?” a 3/10. he’s so cute but. bring someone else if you don’t want to rip your hair out and his. 

kageyama tobio; he absolutely tries to pretend that he’s okay but he just gets really, really quiet once you start delivering and his lips are chapped and his pupils are blown and his face is so pale. he looks like he just got off of a really bad rollercoaster. he’s not even holding your hand you’re just hanging onto an unmoving, lifeless limb. maybe 6/10, cause he could be better in the supportive department but, at least he was quietly panicking. he does have a mini panic attack once his baby is in his arms though. like just starts hyperventilating. it’s okay though! it’s actually kind of cute <3

lev haiba; actually faints. not probably. he actually faints. like all 6′5 of him just drops onto the floor by your bed and you’re like ,,, damn, guess i’m doing this alone then. he wakes up and the first thing he sees is your baby crowning and he just faints again pls. someone has to be there with you, just like to help him to you. he cannot stand straight at all, he’s leaning on the bed the whole time. 5/10 because it genuinely makes you laugh it kind of makes the pain bearable. they have to get a chair in case he just falls back cause he’s just so dizzy pls.

━━ would be so fucking annoying. who the hell let them in this room? why did you agree to this? how are you going to raise a child with them? regrets. so many regrets. 

tanaka ryūnosuke; he’s like annoyingly scared. shut up and calm down for a minute i’m trying to birth your child here. swears so much like “holy shit holy shit that’s a big baby.” like pls you’re trying to push it out of you and he has the audacity to say shit like that? treats it like it’s some sort of volleyball match like he cheers whenever the doctor praises you. maybe a 5/10 cause he’s just annoying, but it’s motivating in a way. accepts any insult you throw at him too, like he’s so on board with it. “yes, i’m absolutely a piece of shit— what do you mean you’re not getting anywhere near my dick babe wait.”

bokuto kōtarō; listen :( you don’t want to think he’s annoying but he lowkey is. he’s trying his hardest to make this an easier experience for you but you just need him to be a little quieter. like this hurts bo, calm down please. you want to match his energy but it’s literally physically impossible. he’s an 8/10 though because you doubt it’d have been possible to go through it without him. bokuto’s incredibly ripped too so he lets you hang onto him and he holds you tightly too, like grips your hands and legs so strong that it’s v physically supportive too. 

kozume kenma; he’s so. quiet. like say something kozume. say anything. he’s just wincing and cringing. 4/10 cause where’s the emotion. lets you hold his hand, like wow you should be honored. insults you back if you insult him???? like what’s that about???? when he sees his baby he does like, sharply intake a breath or whatever cause he doesn’t want to cry but he’s really struggling not to, which is kind of cute you guess. films the whole thing and does like a peace sign with a very nonchalant face but he has a filter on and the filter scans your face too except you’re like screaming. actually a 3/10. 

sugawara kōshi; he’s incredibly supportive yes, but mans will be laughing at you. laughing. at you. probably films you and is like properly giggling and laughing boisterously. is so unfazed by anything and everything he sees. he would so easily be a 10/10 but he becomes a -1/10 just cause he’s an ass. definitely like is breathless and is so mind-blown when he sees his baby. just in awe and in shock that he laughs like, “we made that holy crap.” good to have in the delivery room because he does make the atmosphere easier and more lighthearted, but,,, at what cost? your sanity’s. 

suna rintarō; the amount of times you wanted to punch him you cannot count on your ten fingers. makes some sex joke about how you’re so stretched out. you literally want to deck him. films the birthing process and makes you watch the video when you’re not even done delivering the baby? cause he’s insane i guess? justifies it as “this is a reminder of how strong you are,” like shut up with your bullshit. it’s kinda smart tho cause you can pull this on your kid later but still. he’s so fucking annoying. if you hold his hand too hard he’ll be like “it can’t be that bad stop being such a baby,” and the baby is delivered like an hour early out of spite. a 6/10 tho cause somehow you love him and decided to have a baby with him. 

ushijima wakatoshi; pt.2 to say fucking something??? he’s mostly quiet cause he doesn’t really know what to say, and cause he’s never seen you in this much pain and it’s kind of shocking him. he’s not scared though, cause it’s like, a natural process of human life and the life cycle and all that stuff, he’s just like. taking time to process it. lets you hold his hand though. also if you wanna like give up halfway through he’s annoyingly angry with you like “no. you can’t just give up halfway. stop being a coward.” like why don’t you give it a try toshi??? a 5/10. could do better. 

terushima yuuji; so hyperactive that it’s infuriating. doesn’t even hold your hand, he just stands back and observes and like cheers. literally will jump every time you push, like what the fuck, my love? makes really weird comments like “what does it feel like? does it feel like you’re pooping?” like???? it feels like i’m being torn in half yu :D a 4/10 only cause when you ask if you can slap him he wholeheartedly agrees and the doctor cannot hold their laugh back. also definitely plays like the chika dance and makes the nurses do it with him. probably films a tiktok too. you’re going to kill him after. 

oikawa tōru; he’s trying so hard to be supportive and your backbone but he’s just so jittery and nervous. he’s not going to faint or get nauseous, but he literally cannot stay still. he’s so anxious it’s making you anxious. his hands are shaking when they grip yours, but honestly, completely unbiased of course, an 8/10, cause it really is so endearing. like he’s breathlessly and exasperatingly praising you and you can tell he’s near tears just gasping back sobs so ,,, maybe he’s not that annoying. but he is. he is annoying. a little. 

━━ would be the best of the best. perfectly supportive. a lovely anchor. not too quiet, not too chatty. is so soft and gentle with you. you fall in love with them all over again. 

miya osamu; definitely a 10/10. husband material. he has a cloth that’s just patting away at your sweat. kisses your hand and knuckles. soothingly rubs at your thighs. tells you you’re doing great, that it’ll all be worth it. kisses your forehead. grins at you halfway through when you need that extra motivation. literally all the nurses and the doctor are swooning over him. he’s very nervous deep down but he won’t show it, not for a moment, for your sake. 10/10. can’t stress this enough. 

kita shinsuke; another king! so soft with you when you feel like giving up. just speaks to you in hushed tones like, “you’ve come this far, lovely. you can’t back out now. think of all the happy moments we’ll get to share just a few hours from now.” and you’re like “alright i’m sold.” completely unfazed by anything he sees. okay maybe a little fazed but he just kisses your forehead after sneaking a peak and tells you you’re doing wonderfully. 100000/10. imagine him as the father of your children???? like literally who else would you want????

aran ojiro; wow another inarizaki i sense a trend. except atsumu he’s a pussy. cheers you on quietly, holds onto your legs, breathes with you, smooths your hair back, literally just an angel. if you take a small break he just spends it quietly talking with you to get your mind off the pain. his knuckles are just caressing your jaw and cheek softly till you’ve calmed down. 10/10 obviously. he’s just the right amount of loud supportive and quiet supportive. kisses you full on the mouth when he first hears his baby’s cries and can’t stop thanking you. literally wtf he’s so cute.

kuroo tetsurō; he’s actually surprisingly very serious when you’re delivering the baby. he’s cracking jokes and all before to try and get you less nervous but it’s actually because he’s freaking out. he’s mostly quiet, just holding onto your hand as tightly as you’re gripping his. he holds his breath every time you push. keeps whispering i love you and pressing kisses to your temple. a 9/10 cause he’s so quiet it’s a little scary but he cannot hold back his tears when he sees his baby. kisses you all over your face after. 

satori tendō; very emotional. like so emotional. he’s teary eyed the whole time, just thanking you even if you hadn’t given birth yet. it makes the nurses cry too cause it’s so lovely to see him get so visibly affected by this. he’s just whispering thank you’s and i promise not to let you down ever and i promise to love you forever and you’re pretty sure he’s speaking to the baby you’re birthing at this point. 9/10 cause he made you cry :( no but really he’s a 10/10. super loving, keeps asking you if you’re okay, if you need water, need to hold his hand, anything. angel, fr. 

matsukawa issei; relatively surprising as well because you expected him to be more than just annoying, but he’s just. in awe. he’s so amazed by how much you’re going through, and he just stores it in the back of his brain. literally thanks you for the next 50 years to come. laughs endearingly with you to lighten the mood. 9/10. a point is deducted because he jokingly said that now you’ll be able to take his dick really easily. a nurse choked in shock pls. gets real close after to whisper i love you so that only you can hear. he’s just a dream <3

━━ would not let you move an inch after giving birth. all the work is on them for the next 5 years. 

all of them. not a single one is left out in this one. they’re annoying but ,,, they all love very strongly <3

end note; listen idk what this is. i had a vision where iwaizumi could not handle his s/o giving birth and the thought was actually so sweet to me, just the nurses laughing at him and he’s just breathing deeply to try and not throw up and then. this happened. anyways. this helped put me in a better mood so i hope it does/did for anyone else too! 

[matiastm]

hi ho, i’m ac. she/her, gmt+1 and 23. i bring you my son matias. he’s an onion, lots of layers. i love him tho, i basically just use him for every rp lmao so if you’ve seen him around ??? well

❛ ✶ ( CODY CHRISTIAN , CIS MALE , HE/HIM ) . who the hell is blasting BAD INTENTIONS by ALEXANDER OSCAR at one in the morning ? nevermind , that’s just MATIAS BORGES from 1106 . apparently , they are a TWENTY-THREE year old SOCCER PLAYER from  PROVINCETOWN , MASSACHUSETTS , and they’ve been living at the complex for 1 YEAR . i heard they can be a bit JUDGMENTAL , but they make up for it by being so CHARISMATIC — which makes sense , considering that they are a ARIES ! when i think of them , i imagine GYM BAG THROWN RIGHT AT THE DOOR, DOG TOYS LAYING AROUND TO TRIP OVER & A BLACK AND WHITE ASSORTMENT OF SNEAKERS . and of course , don’t forget to follow them at ( @MATIASBORGES ) ! ooc . ac , 23 , gmt+1 , she/her .

first of all, here’s his pinterest !

BACKGROUND:

okay so, matias grew up in provincetown,massachusetts, i know wtf. it was very idyllic, and both his parents were quite happy with the outdoors, with a love for sailing and soccer, and his mom loved gardening, which they had plenty opportunity to do there.

his dad is like aby rosen, real estate tycoon and entrepreneur, owns a lot of prestigious buildings around the world. his mom is a retired supermodel and is basically like chrissy teigen at this point, socialite making cookbooks and fucking dishing out life advice on twitter and what not.

he has a younger sister, whomst he’d 100% throw hands for. even if all she does is probably roast his ass, it is what he deserves. she’s way smarter than him but then again, it’s not that hard.

so although he did live in provincetown and there were plenty fancy private schools in boston and what not, his parents had a designated fancy private/boarding school in new york. so he moved to new york for high school.

matias was always an immense soccer talent and all he dreamed of while growing up was to one day play for the big european teams, like barcelona, manchester, bayern munchen and what not. i wouldn’t say soccer was/is his life, but like it kinda is. it takes up a lot of his time and thoughts. if he’s not playing soccer he’s probably out for a run or in the gym.

so he graduated with a degree in sports management from ucla, cause if his career as a soccer player falls through. especially since he’s had injuries before and knows that certain injuries are career ending and he wants to do something within the sport even when he can’t plau. his dad has always lowkey wanted for him to take over the company but has also never outright not supported matias’ soccer dreams.

currently he’s playing soccer for the new york red bulls, which is a pretty sick deal and he’s just out here vibing to be honest.

PERSONALITY:

so matias is like a walking contradiction. on the outside he’s very grumpy and gives off a very snobby vibe, like he’s too good for you and like talking to you is a waste of time.

i’d say he’s an introverted mind stuck in an extroverted body. he like can’t help but socialize and talk to everyone but it’s not that he really wants to, in reality he’d rather just be left alone or with the few select he doesn’t mind having around. but has this energy that makes people think the opposite and also quite often is found smiling or cracking jokes lol. is rarely ever serious.

generally dislikes people, like immediately he’ll find something to dislike about someone, maybe he’ll be forced to realize it’s bullshit or maybe he’ll find even more to dislike, but he approaches anyone and anything with some level of dislike.

most of the negative shit stems from high school and realizing how shitty people actually are? like don’t get me wrong, he was like the golden boy and he loves attention pls, but high school was definitely where he started to like realize how fake all these rich people are, and like developed this facade to play along with them. definitely changed a lot in high school, least on the outside.

he’s very much a mama’s boy. full of energy and curiosity. honestly, quite caring when it comes down to it, even if he doesn’t actually give a shit, he will try and cheer up a stranger and make sure someone is okay, even if he miserably fails, he will try. very observational??? will notice even the slightest change in people, not always he acts on it or acts the right way on it tho, but yeah.

honestly, probably falls in love like five time a day and then the next day he’s over it. but when he falls he falls, like flat on his face.

he’s very straight forward, also very good at covering insults and shit up with jokes. if he doesn’t like you though, you’ll know, he wont try to hide that.

he’s mostly down to earth though, appreciates a good party and hanging with the boys getting some beer. enjoys giving out shitty advice, don’t ever listen to him he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, talks just because he can.

is honestly pretty flirty but it’s rarely on purpose, if he actually likes you he probably doesn’t know what to say and he’ll easily just wrap around your finger. boi where’s your backbone...

HEADCANONS/TIDBITS:

doesn’t have any sense of time, if you wanna invite him to something, do invite him an hour early and he might make it on time, that is unless he got a better offer.

soccer wise he’s centre midfielder.

although his family is pretty known in the socialite and business world matias has managed to stay out of the news except for one time when he was vacaying in the hamptons with some friends and they accidentally sped across fragile dunes and the protected nesting area of the piping plover, on ATV’s. it is basically the most powerful resident in the hamptons and it’s a bird. anyway he was taken to court but since they hadn’t found evidence of the bird on their ATV’s they weren’t charged with anything.

drives an audi rs7 sportsback in red because he’s just such an audi driver like….do i even have to explain?? such an audi driver.

very important! he has a son, called thor, he’s a one year old belgian malinois and he’s everything. the apple of his eye. definitely spends more time on his dog than any actual person. click here for thor.

in this universe he’s taller than cody actually is, ‘cause he’s a midget, so you know, here he’s a nice height akgha. like 6ft or something

WANTED CONNECTIONS:

ex(es) honestly give me all of it, the boy is stupit so that alone is enough of a reason to break it off. nah but honestly, it could’ve been one that stung a bit ‘cause if he really does invest in someone he’s actually not a terrible boyfriend. but yeah some relationships that didn’t end well, or some that did perhaps, idk. i’m here for it all.

hook-ups, because that’s fun and we all gotta hoe it out sometimes.

some sort of friends to lovers??? will they wont they???

his sisteeeer *eyes*

teammates?

rivals? enemies? just a general dislike i imagine, matias can be rather hard to work with and be around because he’s annoying tbh so yeah.

i’m gonna add a tag for wanted connections at one point fo sure.

             I FEEL LIKE i just ran away from home and then realized i’m five and, unfortunately, cannot survive without my parents. LMDFLKDFGM i missed u all and had to return… we hate to see it. anyway! whew. i figured i’d post a refreshed lil intro for cohen to make sure i hit on some key changes before i hop back into the game! the most important / group-related part is right at the top, so if u read nothing else, read that! ily all and i’m excited to jump back in like i never left. i’ll be sliding in dms and makin’ starters asap, so if u wanna make some connection changes my door’s always open! x

✮     ∷     ╰  𝖈𝖔𝖍𝖊𝖓 𝖘𝖊𝖌𝖚𝖗𝖆 : 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 .

cohen currently lives in a glorified, raggedy frat-esque house ( he is NOT a fratboy but he might as well be huh ) of his own right off campus, about a five minute drive / ten minute walk from the stadium ( it’s about four bedrooms large with three bathrooms, all on one floor. think david dobrik’s house–click here to see–except much uglier and CHEAP MVDFLG ). 

he’s fiscally very protective of his savings. he’s been working since he was 12 with his dad, and never ever spent his money, despite some repetitive near-misses where his parents tried ( and failed, bc cohen’s slick ) to steal money from him. basically he now pays for his share of the house using the money he saves/has always saved working for factories, farms, & fixing people’s junk cars. 

his only current roommate is foster, meaning he has two spare rooms he’s not really doing anything with. beer pong table’s outside, the kitchen is the alcohol hot spot, there’s a pool table instead of a dining room table, u know how it goes. 

regardless, he throws open invite house parties literally every weekend. they take place every friday night up until the sun rises on sunday morning–whether he’s around the house for all of five seconds or all night doesn’t matter, because they’re always a-go. 

you’re all 100% free to use his house entirely at your leisure for character fun / development / a place for ur thread to take place / etc! you don’t even need to get my okay beforehand! just do it! think of it as a known dillon fact that cohen’s having a house party every weekend NFKDFNDFKJG. 

no matter who you are, whether cohen likes you or not, he will not care if you show up with some randos or familiar faces and party it out. he’s socially bored 24/7 and full of apathy and alcohol at all times so mans probably will be plastered drunk out doing donuts in the parking lot and fighting someone he doesn’t have beef with anyway. ur muse probably won’t even see him there. LMKGDFLG if you’ve ever seen burlesque? literally him showing up to his OWN house for a visit / to get plastered and then wander off during the weekend party is…. real. so yeah! use his house like it’s ur own. just be out by sunday afternoon bc he likes to pretend none of it ever happened as soon as he wakes up and has to be sober for school. x KMVFBLFG love u all.

full name.    cohen anthony segura.

aka.    co, jet.

character inspiration.    adam parrish ( the raven cycle ), vince howard & tim riggins lovechild ( if y’all watched fnl…. let’s cry together ), a much more problematic  &  asshole-ish david dobrik ( the vlog squad ), nathan scott ( oth ), steven hyde ( that ‘70s show ), emily prentiss & aaron hotchner lovechild ( criminal minds ), & noel miller ( tmg ).

pronouns.    he / him.

orientation.    openly bisexual.

this has never presented as too large of an issue for cohen, despite living in dillon. he isn’t afraid of being talked about, and has a history of making sure people know he can hold his own if anyone has anything to say about his personal life.

university major.    architecture  &  architectural technology.

after living in a trailer for the duration of his life, the idea that he would be invested in architecture is astounding. however, here he is. his passion for home creation stemmed from growing up and envisioning a real home to live in. his parents are both into self-taught carpentry, and his dad was shoving tools and measuring tape into his hands from the time he was young in an effort to instill in him a firm “get it done yourself” mindset. he spends his time studying structure  &  building planning, and secretly has a journal full of dream house mark-ups.

positive & negative traits.    ( if u’ve already read this do not read it again i promise u nothing here changed LSMFLD )

hardworking–he works himself to the bone and is entirely unapologetic about it. you’ll rarely catch him slipping, but if he does, he’s the first to get ear-splittingly angry with himself over it. he’s way too hard on himself & he knows it, but he’ll never admit it. 

he nitpicks at the flaws of others in an effort to feel superior, and always acts unaffected when he’s called out for bringing the team down when he’s not taking care of himself ( cue vince howard from fnl or nathan scott from oth scenes where they’re bragging about how good they are on the field even though he’s apt to get himself hurt because of how desperate he is for some kind of validation–cohen had a huge issue with restricting and abusing stimulants / testing steroids throughout high school and college in an attempt to boost his football persona. he was always incredibly fast and beat literal ODDS to maintain his wide receiver position, but especially thanks to his small build he’s used to being underestimated / downplayed, which puts a really heavy weight on his shoulders. today, he’s eating healthily, he’s off drugs, and he’s taking care of himself better than he ever has before, but it’s still incredibly hard and he still reaches out for ways to overcompensate, which is where alcohol usually comes into play ). 

transparent–sure, he can turn into a stressed out & irritable jerk within a fraction of a second, but at least he’s upfront about when he switches lanes. LDFGLMKFG

he’s incredibly focused, which means he’s never going to linger in uncertainty for too long before he admits that he’s just not down to be around you / to be there / to talk / etc. he’s no bullshitter by any means. he’d rather hurt your feelings and keep his environment stable and tactile than stick around and put his easily shaken emotions at risk just to make you comfy. 

he’s also accountable. he knows when he’s causing shit to fuck up & hit the fan, and he’s always quick to right wrongs when things are on him. ofc he’s bred from a family full of blame-givers, so he unhealthily picked up a bad habit of being really good at sounding like he’s apologizing sincerely when he’s really just trying to end a fight because he’s annoyed. LDCLDKMFDFG. 

he’s blunt, temperamental, & incredibly selfish when it comes to his own lifelines / vices, but wholeheartedly selfless when it comes to doing anything to protect or lift up the people he loves.

mental diagnoses.    anorexia nervosa ( in recovery ), alcoholism ( ongoing ), an addiction to various stimulants ( in recovery ), & frequent past attempts at steroid use.

physical diagnoses.    n / a.

phobias.    has an irrational fear of accidentally burning down his house. will get immensely stressed–to the point where he’s absolutely annoying and intolerable to put up with / be around–if someone’s cooking or baking “irresponsibly.” will probably yell at you and hover-cook until you let him take over so he can make sure nothing goes wrong. LMSDFKLFG

scars.   an appendix scar on his lower left side.

drug use.    frequently.

alcohol use.    frequently.

diet.    very decently rounded. he loves to cook, despite being self-taught. growing up the way he did, he settles for making simple dishes very well. he’s not the type to go all out for dinner. he meal preps like it’s his job. he usually just settles with some kind of pan-friend chicken and pasta dish at home.

birth place.    dillon, texas.

parents.    "jude" judith & anthony segura. 

two lower class parents with deep-rooted anger issues. they currently live in the same trailer park together, in separate trailers, and fight with each other constantly. they claim they’re divorced, and are seeing other people, but they’ve never actually filed for anything, since anthony segura thinks it’s just a ploy for judith to take “half [his] shit.” cohen visits them often, and acts as a middle ground child who hates but loves both of them equally. his dad enjoys / tolerates his son’s presence more than his mother does, but only marginally. his mother’s much less concerned with the fact that she has children, since, in her mind, her relationship issues are the most important things in her life. cohen spent many nights as a kid with his drugged up mom in his lap while she cried about not being loved by anyone. his dad, even though he’s rough with cohen, at least spends time with him every now and again. as a kid, his dad was handing him beers to drink and tools to learn to use to prove he was a man ( despite being a ten y/o child bfkjgk oh well! ). regardless, today cohen lives on his own but is still the financial backbone for his parents–since his mom is unemployed and his dad is a seasonal construction worker–and has been since he was fifteen. they ask him for money every chance they get, and cohen never says no.

siblings.    a younger sister ( by two years ). loves her to death. would protect her with his life.

pets.    he’s notorious for letting a certain set of strays run amuck in his house. he feeds the neighborhood cat, is a-okay with people bringing their animals to his parties, etc. but he’s too scared of permanence and obsessed with independence to ever follow through with getting his own animal.

education.    current senior at dillon university. 

he has always been a decent student. he got into architectural honors college his sophomore year of college. however, he’s still not by any means incredibly intelligent. he’s decent grade-wise, but only because he tries really hard and puts in the effort it takes to keep up in a field like architecture. he’s also a chronic cheater, but c’est la vie! lmfgdflkg he spends the vast majority of his time either studying or practicing, and gets very irritable very quick doing either activity because he doesn’t know how to manage stress, so he drinks in the evenings in an attempt to make up for his tense demeanor, but he’s an angry drunk so… whomst are we really kidding here.

Since we're in topic, do you have some advices for writers? Where do you begin when you write original stories and characters? The plot, the concept, the description of characters?

spewell considering that you’re talking to ‘oh hey I have the original idea that might work but I’ve been figuring it out for a whole year and a half’ take them with the necessary skepticism but since I did come up with some decent ocs in fic apparently my advice is probably not entirely shitty lol so with the premise that writing is Not A Science and other than reading a lot no advice is 100% foulproof especially if it doesn’t work for you...

I’d start with the concept, ie: what do you want your story to be about or what message do you want it to be about or what do you want to do with it. do you want to scare people? do you want to make people happy with quality entertainment but without writing a Serious Novel? do you want to write a sad thing to make a point? like, you need to know where you’re going with it in general;

when you have your concept, whichever it is - for one, without going in-depth let’s just say that my original novel concept that I’ve been trying to figure out for good is ‘blade runner meets high fidelity’ (don’t worry IT MAKES SENSE) -, you need to work at once both on main setting and protagonist. I mean, idk let’s just discuss a thing I wanted to write last year when I was thinking of sending original writing to this scifi anthology and then never managed because time and drama and real life happened and I couldn’t commit to it;

so, the theme of that anthology was ‘alternate peace’ ie write a short story where a situation that in history ended up in a fight/war/bloodbath is solved peacefully and write the alternate universe coming from it. so: I had to come up with the idea first because otherwise I wouldn’t have known where to start, then the worldbuilding, then the characters - ngl I think that if you have the worldbuild the characters come a lot easier but that’s me. so: I was like ‘what if I wrote something where the ludlow massacre never happens?’ (the ludlow massacre was tldr a strike in colorado which ended up with the strikers being mass killed by the national guard and in turned caused enough scandal to get unions/unionized labor a lot of traction in the US at least until maccarthysm.) then I didn’t, but in order I went like:a) if what happened is that it had repercussions on the history of unionized work in the US, if I did it so that the workers accepted a plea or smth and the rockfellers won without no one dying, those repercussions would Not Have Happened, nor it’d have created all the left-leaning literature/politics/thinking that came out of it, john reed wouldn’t have written about it etc, so I had elaborated an entire situation post-wwii where unions had all died long before, people were pretty much without any single social lifesaver and could get fired at will and it was basically dystopian hell with mccarthy being president or smth;b) at that point I was like, who do I put in this, and at that point I didn’t manage to go much forward but I had a feeling I should have some young person who was born after the not-massacre who had no idea of what went on talking to an older one that had actually been there and wished they hadn’t taken the deal;c) young dude would have been more or less cynical/not really much of a politics person, old dude would have been old school leftist who still wishes there could have been a better world and wishes the new generation would put two and two together and talk to their elders;d) young dude wouldn’t have known how to read/write because he wouldn’t have needed it for factory work, old dude would have etc;at that point I could have probably gone and gave them families (or not), or a friend (or not), and my general idea was having them discuss politics for the main part of the story, then old guy dies or smth like that and young guy actually gets the message and idk I basically wanted you to read it and feel like I felt when I listened to the ghost of tom joad, that was the general idea;that said, the characters were the last part i came up with because I needed the worldbuilding to know what character I wanted in it, which is why I’d say worldbuld first if you’re writing that kinda thing ie scifi, alternate history etc;

now, obv. if you’re writing the coffee shop au just in novel format or if you’re writing something lighter where the setting doesn’t matter, you need good characters first. I mean, if you write the coffee shop setting just to have a good love story you might want people to pick yours and not the umpteenth version of it with the same dynamic (same with the YAs with the sixteen year-old girl who thinks she’s ugly falling for the hot dude with abs and a bad attitude), so in that case I’d go for the characters. for one, if I had to write a YA, I’d make it with a girl who is actually ugly and has hobbies other than just reading and maybe plays in the school band or has some peculiar post-school job or idk can repair cars but is not good at everything she does and the guy would be moderately hot though not THE SPIT COPY OF DAMON SALVATORE JUST WITH GREEN EYES, he wouldn’t have a license and he wouldn’t think that it’s sexy to tell your girlfriend that you own her, and while I’m nowhere near interested in writing YAs, that would differentiate it from 99,9% of the YAs around from what I see, and so at that point I’d make sure I got the main two down and then I’d work on the friends and family and make them less stereotypical as possible so my YA is different from everyone else’s YA, and if any of them is a supernatural creature they suck at it and hate having supernatural magic and the likes. I mean, you want your characters to have a personality, but if you have a good worldbuilding behind them it might come after, if you don’t gaf about the worldbuilding and just want the standard setting work on the characters and try to give them depth before you plan anything else;

figure out where do you want your story to go before writing it - ie: the only reason I haven’t written the original yet is that idk what kind of spin I want the ending to have and I’m not 100% convinced so I’m not doing it yet, but if you don’t have the backbone of it planned then you’re going to lose steam or the plot will fuck you over (in my experience). like, try to have at least clear what happens in the main arc so that you know how to get from beginning to ending without needing to figure shit out as you go along, then you start, and if you change your mind while you do go with it, but try to start it knowing where you’re headed because it makes it easier imvho;

if you go for complicated shit like time travel figure that shit out before you start writing it including every possible repercussion because you’ll hate yourself if you don’t;

don’t try to re-do what others did obviously. I mean, if I wanted to write rep for non standard attractive cishet women I would not try to re-write brienne of tarth just changing the hair color. I would try to take the same tropes he’s using, change the setting and go with it, but it shows if you read a book and your character is the exact same as your favorite writer’s. like, if you read ian tregillis’s milkweed tryptich it’s going to be obvious that one of the main characters is the same tropes as jaime but that guy has enough personality differences and an enough different background and circumstances of upbringing that while you can see it has the same basics (generally nice guy forced to do horrid things who wants to redeem himself, live without his overbearing sister who wants to control him and has a generally straight moral compass), you don’t think ‘oh ian tregillis who is grrm’s friend has copied from him and put jaime lannister in a wwii alternate history trilogy’. like, we all have our tropes and our favorite writers and it’s good to take inspiration and homage them, but try to give your spin on those tropes you’re using, because otherwise it’ll just look lazy;

do whatever the fuck you want with your plot. don’t think about what others would want to read - it’s your story and you should tell it the way you want to. then please listen to criticism and find people who’ll provide it for you without tearing down your work but telling you what works and what doesn’t, but like... if you want to touch some themes or write characters from a different background or whatever do it;

also, do your research. I mean, I could have written the ludlow massacre story because:a) I read all of john reed’s articles pertaining to that specific happening and those articles include interviews with the people who were there, a description of who they were, an extremely detailed reconstruction of the facts and so on;b) there’s folk songs, two novels and one opera on ludlow not including history books, so it’s not only easily readable upon, but you also can see the impact it had in media/the american culture.so, even if I’m not american, having read all of that, I could have probably gone for it and done a decent job, find someone with a history degree to veto it and go for it. but like, again, unless you’re writing the coffee shop au or the ya or the kind of novel that does not require an established setting or you are making the entire worldbuilding up from scratch with no influences from the real world, you can’t not do at least some basic research. and when reading something, it does show if the author has at least done basic research or if they’re winging it. then they might be good enough that you don’t care they’re winging it, but still, research XD because research also gives you a lot more ideas that you might not have taken previously into account and might save you a plot detail or so;

I also would advice not to write what you know - because that’s easy and it doesn’t let you go out of your comfort zone and at some point what you know will finish -, but: write something you know. as in, my blade runner + high fidelity au should be scifi and touch stuff idk shit about, but since it’s a high fidelity au half of it is supposed to be set in a (pseudo) record shop and the protagonist miiiiiight have a thing or a hundred for springsteen. now: who has spent half of her life in record shops and is into bruce? yes, me. now, the character in question has zero in common with yours truly except for that, but let me tell you that if there is one thing I know how to write that you can’t convince me I couldn’t write is someone into springsteen who hangs around record shops. I know my people and I know why someone would be into springsteen. like, when making up characters and you want to make them relatable or you want to relate to them more, give them one thing you can relate to even if it’s dumb - idk you like strawberries? that character also likes strawberries and so on - because that will get you closer to them and your reader will feel it. it’s a thing I do with fanfic all the time - like if I have to try and write someone IC I try to relate to one thing they have if I can, because that makes the characters more relatable and it’s easier. ie when I was like ‘how do I crack the jaime pov’ the answer was ‘ALL THE BAD SELF-DEPRECATING HUMOR YOU DO ALL THE TIME GO DOWN ON IT’ bc that’s what I relate to jaime for and so on. idk that is a thing that’s always helped me when coming up with any character so I guess it might be useful advice? *shrug*

(obv: if you’re writing a 100% bad guy that you don’t empathize with then you don’t have to, I mean grrm did say he had to take a shower after writing chapters from A Certain POV because it’s horrible being in their head so like.... you can feel disgust at what you’re writing esp. if it’s the POV of a terrible person, but That Character resonated with people and felt relatable to some of them because to them they had... RELATABLE moments/humane moments too so if you’re writing bad guys but try to not make them cardboard cuts/TOO HORRIBLE it will make them stronger as *bad guys*. mvho.)

but mostly: read a lot of stuff, try to put your spin on things and don’t gaf about what people think until you finished it. then you can worry about concrit xD

Orange Whip!

Who wants an Orange Whip?

Orange Whip? 

Orange Whip? 

Three Orange Whips!

The world misses you, John Candy.

And by that, I mean: The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon!

A world divided. 

A queendom without an heir. 

An ancient enemy awakens.

An orange with an impossibly soft rind.

Ok, so I added that last one. Only, the oranges in the world of The Priory of the Orange Tree seem to have these easy-to-chew-through rinds. Like, characters just take a bite right out of them, no problem. I mean, I can imagine doing that with a clementine, but with an orange? Like, an actual, gigantic and delicious navel orange? Not sure if I could do it. I mean, orange rind is not only tough, it’s really not that tasty. It’s all bitter and weird. You’ve got to candy orange peel before you eat it. Or, you know, just peel your orange and use the rind for zest like a regular person. Don’t get flavedo stuck in your teeth.

None of that really had anything to do with Samantha Shannon’s book. Sorry. I just really like oranges. And citrus fruit in general.

So,  The Priory of the Orange Tree!

At well over 800 pages, the book is a figurative doorstop.  And, if you’re in a pinch, a literal one, too.

I kid, I have an actual doorstop. Don’t use a book for a doorstop.

Anyway, if you’re not big into long reads, and you’re perfect novel is roughly 250-300 pages long, uh...you might have a hard time here. But if you’re willing to give it a go, there’s something oh-so-satisfying about a self-contained, one-volume fantasy epic. There’s a beginning, a middle, and an end. There’s no Game of Thrones-esque situation where you’re endlessly waiting for the next book which may or may not be over 1000 pages. The whole story is there, in one big volume, no waiting for sequels. I didn’t realize just how sequel-fatigued I’ve been until I sat down and made my way through this book. No mentally steeling myself for a cliffhanger followed by a two-year-wait. I haven’t felt this way about an epic fantasy novel since Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. Who knew you can have an entire world confined to one volume! Hurray!

As a slow reader, it took me forever to make it through Priory (uh...like three weeks...) but holy crap was it worth it. It’s difficult to describe the plot, because, well, 800+ pages, four main POV characters spread throughout the world...the plot goes tons of different directions before coming together in the end. But the novel takes place in a world inspired by medieval Europe, Asia and Africa. Shannon’s East, like Japan until the 1850s when Commodore Perry waltzed in, guns blazing, is closed off to the nations of the West, mainly out of fear of the draconic plague, aka the “red sickness.” Foreigners are not welcome in the East and that’s the way it’s been for a good long while, to the point where there’s a huge gap in the understanding of Western dragons (similar to Western European portrayals of dragons, i.e. winged firebreathing murderous hellbeasts) and the dragons of the East (wingless, more serpent-like, think Haku from Spirited Away). 

In the East, dragons are revered and considered gods. In the West, well, winged murderous firebreathing hellbeasts. The worst of these firebreathing hellbeasts is a massive dragon known as the Nameless One, who wreaked havoc a thousand years ago, before being wounded and left dormant under the sea. The way in which the Nameless One was bound up in the Abyss is the basis for an entire religion in the Western nation of Inys, and the backbone of the monarchy - Queen Sabran IX of Inys is said to be the direct descendant of the knight who defeated and bound the Nameless One, and so long as Sabran produces a daughter, Inys will be protected from the Nameless One. So Sabran needs to get married and have a kid, like, immediately.

Sounds great, but what do you do when it starts looking like that might not be true? What if Sabran’s existence has nothing to do with the return of the Nameless One? How do you keep the Nameless One at bay then?

That’s the main plot of Priory of the Orange Tree put very, very briefly. The story is told from four different perspectives, so...let’s meet our POV characters!

Tané: a young orphan from Seiiki who has spent her life training in hopes of becoming a dragon rider in the High Sea Guard. It is her actions that spark the events of the rest of the book.

Niclays Roos: an alchemist in exile in the East. He was banished from the West by Queen Sabran IX after failing to produce an elixir of life. He now lives in the teeny tiny Western trading post of Orisima in Seiiki.

Eadaz du Zala uq-Nara aka Ead Duryan: A Southern mage and initiate of the Priory of the Orange Tree currently embedded in the court of Queen Sabran IX, posing as a lady-in-waiting. Her mission is to protect Sabran, but she must keep her true identity hidden, as magic is super-duper forbidden in Inys.

Arteloth “Loth” Beck: A close friend of Queen Sabran IX and a member of Inys’s (Inys’?) nobility. He and his best friend Kit are forcibly exiled from court after Loth’s closeness to Sabran is viewed as an impediment to her marriage prospects. 

The novel itself begins with Tané, hanging out on a beach in the East when, gasp! A foreigner shows up. By all rights, Tané should just kill him and be done with it, but, fearing that a dead foreigner might put a damper on her chances at being a dragon rider, what with all the questions and plague checks she’d have to go through, she decides to hide the foreigner instead. She recruits a friend to smuggle the foreigner over to Orisima, the only Western trading post in the East, to the home of one Niclays Roos, an embittered doctor/alchemist who once worked for Sabran. The foreigner, a kid from Inys called Triam Sulyard, has some crazy notions: East and West should unite because the Nameless One is coming back, whether or not Queen Sabran has a kid. Niclays, of course, is far more concerned with being caught with an unauthorized foreigner in his house.

Meanwhile, over in Inys, Ead Duryan witnesses first hand the pressure Queen Sabran is under from all sides to get married and pump out a daughter ASAP because she’s, gasp, 28 and still hasn’t had that kid yet. Ead is in a precarious position at Court as she’s a foreigner and a (supposed) convert to Inys’s religion, which worships the knight who bound the Nameless One. And she’s secretly a mage and Inys is super backward about that sort of thing. Ead just wants to stick to her mission - protect Sabran - and then hightail it back to the Priory of the Orange Tree. Only some chance encounters with Sabran herself lead to Ead being promoted into the Queen’s household, and next thing she knows, she and Sabran are forming a connection that’s causing Ead to question her loyalty to the Priory.

Meanwhile, Sabran’s childhood friend, Loth, has been banished because men and women can’t be friends without people starting to imply things. Loth and Sabran’s relationship is 100% platonic, but no one cares, least of all the Queen’s spymaster, who rounds Loth up in the middle of the night and ships him off to the nation of Yscalin, which has, very recently, turned to the dark side and began worshiping the Nameless One. It’s one of those “diplomatic missions” that is almost guaranteed to end in death.

And while all this is happening, both Tané and Niclays experience the blow back of letting a foreigner into the closed East.

Also, I should mention: yeah, the Nameless One is totally starting to wake up again. In fact, his buddies are starting to go around and wreak havoc. Better have that kid quick, Sabran!

So that is the basic plot of The Priory of the Orange Tree, in a nutshell. I really, really, really do not do it justice, but to do the plot some actual justice takes an 800 page novel. Priory is nothing less than epic. In one book, Shannon manages to create an entire world, complete with over a thousand years of history, various conflicting religions, generations upon generations of royalty, dozens of nations, and a sea full of pirates. Pirates! There is pirate action in this book! Are you not convinced? I mean, there’s dragons - and not just one sort of dragon, either. Also, did I mention the whole book has a very, very strong feminist bent to it? How much more convincing do you need? If you like dragons, if you like epics, if you can make it through 800 pages, then you need to read Priory of the Orange Tree.

Funny thing is, I was over 700 pages into the book when I realized that I’d mixed up East and West. See, right-left confusion is something that legit happens to people and definitely doesn’t mean that they’re dumb or anything - it happens more often in the left-handed and women, both of which I happen to be. I’m really good at reading maps, but when it comes to actually being in place and telling one direction from the other...uh...it doesn’t often end well. I’ve had people tell me to turn left and, without thinking, I turned right, thinking that I was definitely turning left. Yeah, it’s a thing. So, throughout Priory, which is divided into chapters characterized by East, West and South, South I was able to get pretty easily. South is easy. But I was roughly 80% into this book when I realized that I’d inverted the whole map of the book’s world - I’d pegged Inys in the East, and Seikii in the West. The whole time I was envisioning people heading East, I actually had them heading West. Derp. Derp. Derp. 

It also doesn’t help that advanced copies don’t come with finished artwork, so I’ll have to wait til the book is actually out to see if there’s an actual map of the world of Priory. Having a map makes things much easier. I can refer back to a map to confirm which direction is which. 

Fun fact: most of the time I can really only tell East from West based on whether or not I can see Mt. Hood. For me, it’s always been Mt. Hood = East, the Coast = West. One of the perks to living on the West Coast. I’ve had a hell of a time establishing East from West (and North from South) when I’ve traveled to places that don’t have a Mt. Hood to keep myself anchored, direction-wise. Sometimes I just had to pick a place and determine the directions. 

How is it that Samantha Shannon is a year younger than me and has already written a series and an 800+ page fantasy epic? Meanwhile, I’m a year older than her, have finished no story I’ve actually started and have generally failed at everything I’ve ever attempted. Well, I did make some pretty good overnight oats. But it’s really hard to fail at making anything that contains both Nutella and peanut butter. 

Bah, I says. Bah. 

I need an Orange Whip.

Mmm...I should go get myself an orange.

Anyhoo! Priory of the Orange Tree. It’s good. You should read it.

RECOMMENDED FOR: Fans of one-volume feminist epic fantasies featuring more than one type of dragon. Also, there’s pirates!

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR: Anyone with no time or attention span. Or who dislike feminist fantasy for some reason.

RATING: 4.5/5 (half a point off for being 800 pages, also for some George R.R. Martin-esque descriptions of food which were not the best thing to read while recovering from a severe bout of food poisoning).

WARNING: Knife play and blood involved!

Title: Punishment

Word Count: 7578

11:39pm. Noctis and Prompto were fast asleep in the other room and Ignis was, as usual, still awake in the front room watching television. He rather enjoyed indulging himself in nature documentaries, more often than not he had been able to drift off to sleep easily whilst listening to them. It was a positively exceptional method in helping the vexed advisor get his much needed rest.

The emerald-eyed man was just about to migrate from the world of the conscious when his phone’s screen lit up and a familiar tune emitted from it. “Hmph... what could this be?” He emerged from the comfortable position he had assumed on the sofa and he sauntered over towards the device, grasping it with his slender, gloved fingers and lit up the screen. The text that had appeared made Ignis’ heart plummet. Ignis… I need your help… I’m hurt bad. I’m outside. It was from Gladio. “Oh Gods…” The brunette immediately shot over to the room where Noctis and Prompto were slumbering to check on them. Once satisfied that they weren’t going anywhere anytime soon he darted over to the room’s entrance, exit, made sure the door was securely locked and made haste for the hotel exit. “Damnit, Gladio, you had better still be alive by the time I get there…”

The large man slipped his phone back into his trouser pocket with a smirk only to wince with pain as he situated himself against a light pole outside of the hotel where he stood. "Hnn...hurts like hell..." He grunted as his arm whined against his slow movements. He got hurt, worse than he intended though he had no one to blame but himself considering he had done it for all the right reasons; at least that notion sounded good within his mind. He wasn't entirely sure how others would take the excuse, especially with the nice sized gash that now graced his forehead. He left without rhyme or reason some days ago, the questioning looks of his companions burning into his back, namely those un-amused green orbs he found himself so fond of silently cursing him for abandoning his opinion on his personal affairs. "Heh...like I could tell you." although it pained him to bite his tongue on the matter, he'd be putting up a front if he said he didn't find solace in the scoldings he received on occasion.

Gladio's eyes lay closed momentarily, that is until his thoughts were interrupted by a door adjacent from him clattering closed. The sound of hastened footsteps across the pavement met his ears before his ember eyes fell upon the slightly twisted face of Ignis coming straight at him. He quickly conjured the prize of his endeavours, the Genji Blade from Gilgamesh himself, in hopes of it cutting him some slack. "Welp, time to face the music."

"By the Six, he's worse than I thought..." Ignis' mind turned into a whirlwind of thoughts as he approached Gladio, gripping his arm to keep him steady. "And what in daemon hell have you been up to to get you in such a way? By the looks of it you're lucky you're not dead, come." The emerald-eyed man wrapped the large man's arm around his neck and carried him behind the hotel into a grass patch.

"Tsh you really think I'm goin' down that easy? I'm offended, Iggy." The man's boisterous laugh rings out into the night as he tries his best not to lean fully on the advisor. "Seriously, I had my own business to take care of. All that matters is I'm back, right? Come on, I snagged a new toy," holding up the sword, he glances at the man's profile noticing his jaw set in a hard line then sighs. He knew he wasn't exactly on his good side but he was serious. Even if he had been hurt through the entire ordeal, he vowed to return regardless. The brunette fell silent for a moment as he was lowered down into the grass, "sorry..."

"Now is not the time for jokes, Gladio. You are gravely injured and I fear there is no elixir in the world that will fully heal the damage done." Ignis could feel his throat beginning to choke him, but God’s be damned if he was going to let this brute-headed man see him like that. "...But aren't you lucky I'm going to try." 

The 'toy' Gladio bore was one of the first things that Ignis had noticed when he first saw him, after his injuries. He had heard of the legend of the Blademaster before from his time studying in the many libraries in the Citadel but never had he thought he would see the man who defeated him, much less it being Gladio.  "Your 'toy' as you called it is certainly impressive, but you have much more important things to worry about right now...rest your head on the ground and relax..." The strategist lowered his voice as he spoke in an effort to relax the burly man, pulling a potion from his pocket.

"Guess I hit the jackpot," the man chuckled as he did what he was told, his muscles protesting as he leaned back onto the slightly moist grass. He kept his good arm folded under his head. Once comfortable, his eyes fell to the sword then shut completely. "To be honest, I think you worry too damn much," he sighed knowing it was in the man’s nature. The shield wasn't one to ever feel guilty for his actions, but today was different. This man was different. Today the guilt was starting to rise like mercury in the bit of his stomach. 

The clang of a potion bottle being revealed caused him to open his eyes again. He watched as slender leather covered fingers moved about his arm and torso examining the extent of damage that had been done. His amber gaze travelled up the advisor’s arms, chest, and shoulders before resting at his face, a look of intense concentration shown through the spectacles that rested on the man’s slim nose. He involuntarily bit his lip.

"I worry just the right amount I've come to believe. You, however, don't worry enough." The emerald-eyed man was getting tired of Gladio being reckless. But he also saw himself in him somewhat; always throwing himself in harm’s way to protect the ones he loves. Ignis believed this was why he wasn't more angry at the large man for staring death in the face and somehow coming out alive, albeit barely. "I'm going to administer this elixir to you for now and then you are going to come with me and rest in the confines of the hotel. You will not be permitted to move until you are fit to do so, are we clear?" He spoke with a firm but caring tone, he meant what he said about the elixir, but the advisor had other plans for Gladio for this moment...

The larger man rolled his eyes so hard he thought he'd seen the inside of his head. "Whatever. I'm not one of those two you baby on the daily; I'm fine." His voice came out more tired than he expected. Maybe he really wasn't? He signed heavily in slight defeat. Just as Ignis, he was groomed not to relish in the pleasure of care brought on by the hands of another. That it was his duty to put others, namely Noctis, before himself. It's the reason why he threw himself in harm’s way to begin with. Therefore all this 'self care is important' or 'your recklessness will be the death of you' nonsense wasn't sticking. Gladio swallowed his slightly rising temper and pride to patiently wait to be treated knowing full well he wouldn't be let alone by an ever persistent Ignis.

The ever patient strategist was quickly approaching the end of his tether with this man now. He withdrew his hands from him and pinched the bridge of his nose and inhaled, prolonging it to flaunt his frustration."You seem very adamant on pushing my patience with you more than usual, so I will give you two scenarios. Scenario one: I will do as I have told you and help you and you won't have to suffer anymore. Scenario two: you continue to be a pride-ridden ass and I will abandon you where you lie and return to the hotel without you. Your choice.” Ignis had snapped, he was no longer prepared to put up with him as much as it would pain him to leave him behind.

The brunette raised both brows seeing his always stoic friend come slightly undone at the mercy of irritation. It amused him and much to Ignis' dismay, pushed his sudden idea to see just how far he could prod at his nerves. "Well would ya look at that. Ignis actually does have a backbone when it comes to making folks do what he wants. Shit I never thought I'd see the day. I tell you what. I'll bend and listen to you for now, but why not aim that same animosity towards our spoiled Prince instead of toward someone who CAN actually handle himself?" He was sitting up now, his head sideways, amber eyes burning into green ones once more. Gladio had a lot of pent up frustrations since the trip started. Not only at others, but himself.

"I will not indulge in your war of words, I warned you." Ignis rose to his feet, turned around and started walking back to the hotel entrance, not looking back. A part of him couldn't believe he was so adamant on pushing him away but the better part of him refused to give in.

"Pfftt, of course you won't. You would't know how to 'indulge' if the opportunity bit you in the ass. You're SOFT." His voice was loud enough so the advisor could hear. Gladio pushed himself off the ground with his good arm before following not far behind before they reached the hotel door. He knew he was treading in dangerous waters but he was curious and he was on a roll.

The emerald-eyed man stopped in his tracks at the over-confident man's word. "Say that again." He knew he was going to. He was quickly devising his assault on the other man before the words left him. He stood upright, arms at his side and his fingers flexed every couple of moments.

"Oh you heard me." He stood directly behind the man, burning a hole in the back of his head. Today was the day he vowed to break that shell Ignis always escaped to. Come hell or high water, he was going to find out what he was holding back. "You're...SOFT." He let the words slip once more with a deeper more menacing tone aim closely to the man's ear.

Ignis quickly spun around, laid his fingers on Gladio's chest and pushed him with all of his might directly down onto the ground. He straddled the man, conjured a dagger and lit it up with fire, holding it close enough to the large man's skin so that it would burn but not too much. "That is the LAST time you dare to attack me with empty insults! You are NOT the only one with burdens to bare, Gladiolus!" He daren't say more as he wanted the large man to mull that over in his clouded mind.

The advisor held his position over the shield for a prolonged period. He wanted the searing heat of the fire combined with his own injuries and his poisonous thoughts to linger for a while longer. In the meantime he gritted his teeth visibly and stared into the amber eyes of the man beneath him.

And there it was. That dormant beast that lay deep within the tactician had been awoken and was out for blood. Gladio sucked in a staggered breath as his heart rate jumped into overdrive within his chest upon connecting with the ground, his arm whining in protest as it went slightly limp against the pavement beside him. He reared his head back inch by inch as the blazing blade before him burned with an intensity that dared him to make a move. Ignis had him on the ropes but he wasn't done.He never broke eye contact with man's seething glare before a breathy chuckle fell from his lips. "Heh ha! I knew you had it in you. But how far can you go, eh Iggy? You don't have the balls to hurt me!" His words were taunting. Gladio continued to stare up at the man through squinted eyes. He watched as his his jaw flexed under the tight tension of his anger. How the small vein in his neck pulsated as he breathed deep. How the flames from his dagger being so close to it's target set his eyes ablaze…

The amber-eyed man had sparked another fire in Ignis' heart that wasn't about to be smothered easily. His dagger inched closer and closer to his neck after he spoke, taunting Ignis to punish him. He made sure the blade was pushed up against the throat of the man beneath him hard enough so that every time he breathed it sliced him that bit more. "Don't test me, Gladio. It would be very unwise, especially given your current condition." He mocked the man, he wasn't about to let him talk down to him in such a manner and get away with it. Every action comes with a price to be paid, and Gladio had a hefty debt accumulating…

"Why? So you can do nothing else about it?" He spat back. Gladio sucked in a staggered breath as the blade bore deeper into his skin. The flames had nearly subsided but they left the blade warm, increasing the ease at which it could cut. He gripped his subduer by the thighs with both hands instinctively to try and cease his movements as a line of blood trickled down his throat. However, something was off. He wasn't completely feeling the normalcy that is 'fight or flight'. Instead, the crazed look in Ignis' eye alongside the continuing twinge of pain at his throat and the thought of impending danger caused heat to pool harshly within his groin earning Ignis an involuntary grunt from the man beneath him.

Ignis had gasped ever so slightly at the tension that had appeared on his thighs and he closed his eyes briefly. He opened them again once he felt the growing tension between their groins and stared the burly man down, trying to adjust to the feeling. "Gladio...why do I suddenly sense some growing 'tension' between us?" The strategist lowered his blade to the large man's chest and drove it into his skin gently, piercing it just enough to elicit a breathy moan from him. "If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be enjoying teetering on the edge of life and death..."

Gladio gasped, his eyes shutting tight as his hands clung tighter to the advisor’s thighs. The mix of pleasure and pain he was currently feeling had his mind reeling. Opening his eyes again, his amber orbs were now half lidded and hazed over with the a hellish desire he was certain only one person could put out. To test his theory, he bucked his hips upward causing him to grind teasingly against the man, another grunt emitting from his lips. "Mmmph there's no sensing it. I can damn well 'see' it from here." The brunette smirked, his eyes dropping slowly to the growing bulges between the two of them. "And If I'M not mistaken, you're eating up this chance to make me your bitch," his gaze shifted back up to the man, noting the small bead of sweat that trickled down his temple.

"Well, who wouldn't pounce upon the chance to make you such a thing?" Ignis inched his tender lips closer and closer to Gladio's ear, gliding up his neck ensuring his hot breath waved across it. "Considering you've been such a handful, you deserve to be punished." The advisor conjured his other dagger and gently ran the flat side of the blade over Gladio's cheek, releasing a short but meaningful moan into his ear.

The shield shivered. He knew he wanted to push the man over the edge but this was on a whole other level. Feeling mentally inebriated at the closeness of the advisor currently invading his very being, he was anxious for more. He wanted the man to turn him inside out. If it meant the beast that Iggy kept within would come out more often, he was more than willing to throw himself over his knee. "You punishing me? Hmm," he grunted and bit his lip, "that'd be a real treat." He smirked and ground up against the man again. His large hands gripping his thighs tighter. "I don't think you have it in you."

Ignis once again let out a moan, except this one was longer, louder. "Mmph, would it now? I'm not sure you could contain yourself." The emerald-eyed man shifted the position of his dagger so the blade was slightly digging into his cheek. "You don't? Well, we'll have to see about that, won't we?" The hand that was previously conjuring the fire-ridden dagger was now grasping at Gladio's nipple, twisting it hard.

"Fuck!" The assault on his sensitive nub causes him to groan in ecstasy while leaning a little further against the blade pressed to his cheek. The slight stinging sensation as it cuts his rugged flesh sends jolts of excitement straight to his groin; evidence of which beginning to push harder against Ignis' underside. "Mmm fucking show me how soft you say you aren't," his voice hung in the air with an urgency unlike any other. Gladio, with a new wave of appreciation taking over, couldn't believe how painstaking hard it was to lie there like a caged feral animal. The idea of what the advisor would be like if he was to come undone had crossed his mind a few times in the past but the opportunity never presented itself. That is until today. Today the bespectacled man had him on sensory overload and he planned to submerge his very being into every moment of it.

Ignis let out a breathy chuckle which faded into a moan at Gladio's words. He flicked his wrist so that the dagger would slice the other man's cheek harshly. "Mm, if you insist using such language I shall have to punish you further..." The dagger he was now holding was traced down to the burly man's toned chest, via a trip down his neck. He made sure the man beneath him could feel his blade and how easy it would be for him to end him right there and then. He would never do such a thing, but he wanted him to be completely at his mercy.  "Oh, Gladio, we seem to be mistaken." He whispers as he traces his lips down the other's neck and litters it with gentle kisses between his words, soon ending up at his chest, head next to his blade. "I'm going to show you what it's like to be at the mercy of the man you have tried so eagerly to break." He exhales a moan before latching his teeth around Gladio's nipple, digging the dagger ever so slightly into his other breast, just enough to break the skin.

The advisor’s words earn him a satisfied grunt in response as he arches his back against the man's mouth and blade. With the two feelings coinciding, the tight hold his leather pants had on his member caused him to ache with release. Admittedly so, Gladio was a slut for pain. Purposely getting hurt in battle wasn't exactly something new to his escapades but he'd never utter a word of it to his companions. The dance between life and death always gave him an adrenaline rush unlike any other; this time being no different. The shield’s amber eyes watched at the dagger worked against his skin; a few beads of blood pooling at its tip. His gaze travelled to the chiselled face beside it; his jaw flexing as his warm tongue played with his hardened nub.

Ignis danced his tongue around the hardened nipple, slowly and carefully dragging the dagger down his rough skin, inching closer and closer to the large gash across his chest that had been there when Ignis had first found him. The ever growing bulge pressing against the advisor's stomach invited a grin to appear on his tender lips and he ground up against it, wanting to tease the shield more and more until he was teetering on the edge of breaking. The emerald-eyed man started to reach for the large man's groin, tracing his slender leather-covered fingers down his hardened abs.

The thin trail of blood created by the blade had his sweat saturated skin set ablaze. Gladio's pulse quickened at the feel of leather clad fingers slipping down his abs dangerously close to the aching beast below. His arm quickly shot up to rake his hand through the advisor’s hair only to tighten his grip. He pulled the man away from his chest for a moment to take in the sight of pink dusted cheeks beneath glasses before leaning up to crash his lips upon his. The shields wet appendage slid across Ignis' bottom lip before shoving its way inside to explore every inch of his beautiful mouth. With a breathy grunt he broke the kiss only for a moment. "You and this damn teasing is gonna drive me fucking insane," he smirked and peered back at the man; amber eyes resembling fire in the dim light.

A wicked smile appeared upon the advisor's face as his eyes shut briefly to indulge in the taste of Gladio's mouth. He opened his eyes again and gave him a look that was riddled with lust before gripping the other man's tented groin roughly. "Mmm, there you go again. I'm afraid you have just prolonged your punishment," he whispers, letting out a quiet, breathy chuckle as his lips trace down his toned body, his tongue gliding ever so slightly over them. Ignis keeps tensing his hand, applying then releasing pressure to tease the large man further.

Gladio unintentionally bucked his hips against the man's hand, his member pulsating within it's leather confines. The heat pooling within his stomach was reaching sub nuclear magnitudes causing his breath to hitch with the combination of the advisor’s tongue against his waiting skin. He was 10 seconds away from shoving the man face to his desired place, however, he was enjoying being at his full mercy.

Ignis' lips finally fell over the tent within Gladio's pants and he began breathing heavily over it, licking his lips and looking up at the puddle of a man below him with a wicked grin. His gaze returned to the other man's groin and he began sucking his member through his pants, moaning deliberately to send vibrations rattling through the large man.

"Six...ughh," the larger man's hands shot up to cover his face as a wave of pleasure snaked its way up his legs and throughout the rest of his body. He ground against the advisor’s lips, cursing the thin barrier between his lips and his sensitive muscle. He moaned into the warm night, the humidity keeping his skin beneath his tank top moist with sweat, heightening the scent of his arousal. How had he found himself in this situation? Oh yeah, because he had a big fucking mouth and liked to play dangerously. I have absolutely no regrets. The thought made the corner of his lips curl into a smile. Removing his hands from his face, his eyes dropped to the man below, admiring how the gentle breeze danced through his sandy hair. His eyes closed to slits before quickly reaching down and gripping his locks. "If you're going to suck it, quit playing games," the burly man smirked before letting his hair go once more.

The advisor grinned at the large man's frustrated words. "Now now, Gladio. I did tell you your language was going to get you punished but you refused to listen..." Ignis' lips were now replaced with his hand, roughly palming the large man's member through his leather pants. "...But I believe it's time for your punishment to really begin." Ignis made short work of relieving Gladio of his pants and underwear to just above his knees. He straddled the man and leaned down into his chest, crashing his tender lips against the shield's. He grasped his throbbing member and began jerking him slowly whilst his free hand reached again for the potion in his pocket. He trailed his kisses down the other's neck as he cracked the potion open and held it over the large man's chest, letting it drip ever so slightly onto his wounds. "You are going to be slipping between pain and pleasure. Just as your pain is being overwhelmed by immense pleasure I'm going to drag you straight back into that feeling you crave so much. I'm going to drive you insane." 

The man's words alone had him yearning for more. As the cool liquid dripped over his open wounds, he shivered. The shield felt his teeth grind instinctively followed by a drawn out breath as the advisor’s hand made contact with his cock. He knew the man was skilled at many things, however, bringing him to mentally to his knees was one skill he gravely overlooked and he was relishing the intoxicating experience. "Shit, do your worst. I ain't gonna cry. You can believe that, Iggy." His voice was thick with lust. Those amber eyes never breaking their gaze from the green ones above that seemed to bore into his soul.

"Oh, I intend to and we shall soon see about that..." Ignis let go of Gladio's cock and he started to suck on his nipple as he got to work unzipping his pants so that his own cock could slip through. "Open your legs. Now." A few more drips of the potion seeped into his wounds and just as Ignis noticed that they were beginning to heal he stopped and bit down hard on the nub in his mouth. He teased Gladio's entrance with the tip of his length, waiting for him to do as he was told.

Holding back a whine from the sudden lack of touch against his length and the final spine tingly chill of the potion within his wounds, Gladio gave a thunderous grunt in response to the man's musings against his hardened nipple. Obeying orders like that of a helpless dog, his legs bent and widened to give the advisor better leeway to his waiting hole. It wasn't like the shield hadn't experimented with this sort of thing in the past but upon feeling the head of Ignis' waiting member, the situation pressed even further to the front of his mind as an imminent reality. Beads of fresh sweat pricked at the surface of his skin as he prepared himself.

"Hmph, good boy." Ignis spat on his hand and rubbed it on his member as a form of lubricant. As soon as he was done, without warning, he thrust into Gladio roughly, using his hips as handles to help him in. The advisor let out a loud grunt as he nestled his face into the large man's neck, biting on it. "O-oh Gods you're tight." He conjured one of his daggers again in one hand and gripped Gladio's throat with the other. He started thrusting in and out of the man slowly as the dagger came up to just under his jaw. "Now, don't you think you could have minded your language? This is just a taste of what would happen if you were to continue..." he trailed the flat side of the dagger along his jawline.

Gladiolus Amicitia. The sworn shield to the King, always a stone wall of a man, found his barriers crumbling at the hands of the advisor above him. Having his more precious area invaded by such a lewd act of dominance caused his loins to burn with a desire of the highest calibre. The overbearing wave of pleasure and pain he was feeling had his mind doing somersaults; his words lost in translation albeit the short gasps that managed to slip between his parted lips. "I-ignis!" The man’s name rolled off his tongue in such a manner of desperation that it almost startled him as to how deep he had plummeted into the recesses of the abyss that housed the essence and flagrant 'physical need' for one, Ignis Scientia. "I-I want to taste it ALL."

Ignis chuckled to himself deviously. "All of what, exactly?" His thrusts came to an abrupt halt, "tell me EXACTLY what you want, Gladio, and leave no detail unspoken." The dagger's razor sharp edge was now grazing the large man's neck, slowly running down it towards his clavicle. The advisor held the dagger steadily over the man's collar bones as he took his free hand to his mouth, gripping the tip of glove in between his teeth and pulling it off slowly, closing his eyes and moaning quietly to add to the shield's frustrations. Once it is removed he leans down to Gladio and kisses him passionately.

Between the heated kiss shared by the two, heavy, ragged breaths fall from the man’s lips as the advisor’s movements cease. He was practically on the verge of insanity caused by the underwhelming feeling of Ignis being inside of him. "I-I want you. ALL of you. I want you to break me and bring me to my knees. Fuck me with every bit of power you've been holding back all these years. I know that little shit in there pisses you off sometimes." He gripped the man’s thighs under his legs, forcing Ignis forward and penetrate his puckered, abused cavern deeper. "USE ME to let it all go!"

There they were. The words Ignis had been craving to hear for years. He sighed heavily, biting into the large man's neck. "You... do not know... how long I've been waiting to... hear that." His words were split by kisses to the shield's rough neck. Those words spurred Ignis on. He continued his thrusts into Gladio after a long while of pausing inside him. He was relentless, nearing a feeling of somewhat desperation for the both of them to climax together, to share an even higher level of intimacy. Thrust after thrust Ignis grunted, occasionally moaning the large man's name until the he was pushed over the edge, spilling his seed deep within his lover.

Gladio gasps at the sudden rush of liquid warmth filling him up. The sheer abundance of pleasure bombarding his body had his glazed ember eyes rolling to the back of his head. "Fucking SIX!" Although his cock had received very little stimulation, the force of desire had him flying down the primrose path at the speed of light completely hands free, finally earning him his release; all evidence of which was now plastered between his exposed stomach and Ignis' disheveled leopard shirt. The shield lay spent beneath him, coming down from the high that once had him on cloud nine. His eyes fluttered gently before opening fully to focus on the sweat matted face above him. He ran his fingers through his own tousled locks before giving a drawn out sigh. "Shit, if being hurt means I get THIS type of treatment, I may have to lose a limb next time." The burly man chuckled playfully, noting that his fresh wounds had started to sting much to his demise.

"I wouldn't advise that. There's nothing I can do to help you with a missing limb." The advisor chuckles too, enjoying lying on the large man for a few more moments. He lifts himself shortly after and notices Gladio's face start to twist in slight pain at his wounds. "Now, I believe it's time I actually heal you rather than make you worse. My... apologies." He rolls his emerald eyes to look to Gladio's wounds, pulling out the elixir from his pocket. Guilt was beginning to seep into him as he looked at all of the extra cuts he 'gifted' him.

His amber eyes softened before nodding. Pulling up and re-adjusting his pants, Gladio lay still as Ignis went to work on his wounds. "For the record, I have no regrets." He grinned before shutting his eyes, relaxing under his gentle touch. "I saw a side of you that I didn't think I'd ever see. But do me a favor..." Gladio flinched slightly at the mild pain of a cut on his lower stomach. "Promise me you'll stop holding that shit in. I know you're the one of us that attempts to keep a 'cool head' but dude, that shit's gonna get someone murdered." He chuckled before falling silent for a few moments. "In all seriousness though Iggy...let me be your lightning rod from time to time...I can take it." His eyes stayed glued to the furrowed brow above his specs before reaching up to lightly touch his cheek, adding a little pressure to make Ignis look him in the face. "Promise me."

"I... promise," the advisor wasn't used to this, feeling guilty for pleasuring someone, even if it meant that he caused them pain in the process. "I... am... so-" Ignis' words are choked from him by tears falling down his cheeks, he couldn't hold them back any longer. He quickly looked away from Gladio in an attempt to hide his tears, the last thing he wanted to do was appear as weak to such a man, especially after maintaining such a 'cool head' for so long.

Gladio moved to his knees in front of his friend, now lover, pulling him into a tight embrace. "You better not apologise. You've done not a damn thing wrong." He knew how desperate he tried to hold in every ounce of anger or sadness, even happiness depending on the situation. He also knew how difficult it was the maintain such a stoic demeanour when you're expected the keep someone else level headed. He understood him completely. There was a method to the man’s madness; a reason for pushing him to his limits. He needed him to let go and let it all out before it consumed him alive. "I won't let you bear all of this crap on your own, Ignis. Let go for once and let me help you, you hear me?" Feeling a light shudder from the man in his arms, he held him tighter, his nose buried against the crook of his neck.

Ignis does not utter a word but continues to let the tears stream down his face. He caresses the cheek of the shield, sighing ever so lightly. "I have gone so long without showing anyone any kind of emotion like this... and to finally let it all out... I... thank you, Gladio." Ignis lifts a hand to his face while the other reaches around the shield's shoulder, holding him close. "I'm trying to let you in but... it's so difficult. I apologise for my current state."

The man's fingers snaked protectively to the back of Ignis' head. The advisor was strong. Any and everyone could see the fire in his eyes when he stepped up to do his job, but even the strongest of buildings had those more softer points that were protected by barriers. Gladio vowed to protect that. He pulled away momentarily, resting his forehead against his.

"No need to thank me. Ya know I've always been here, Iggy." He leaned up to plant a gentle kiss on the advisor’s lips before grinning. Finally he stood, helping the man to his feet. Gladio reluctantly scratched the back of his head as he stared at the front of Ignis'... 'painted' shirt. "Not sure how you plan to explain that one," he chuckles, motioning towards the masterpiece with his chin.

"And where are you going? Your wounds are not healed..." Ignis refused to let Gladio return in such a state. "As for my shirt, those two are fast asleep so they won't see a thing." He smiled gently at the burly man, using his final elixir to help mend his wounds. After some time, just holding the shield in the meantime, Ignis noticed that the wounds that he had caused him had healed almost completely and his mind was ever so slightly set at ease. "I may have been able to heal you of my... actions, but still no luck for the ones you bore when you were on your own..." Ignis looked sad, bothered by the fact he couldn't fully heal his lover.

Gladio looked himself over, noting the fresh wounds had just about disappeared. He simply shrugged at the mention of his previous injuries. "My fault. Don't give me that look. You did what you could right?" He patted the man on the back with his good arm. "Also I don't exactly plan on sleeping out here tonight believe it or not. As much as I love crashing under the stars, there's a bed in there with my name on it." He grinned and winked at the man, "thanks for the help, sexy."

"Hmph, you're welcome, my love." He gave his lover a small smile, still lost in his own thoughts. "We have plenty of room back at the hotel... You can take the vacant bed, I will resume my position on the couch... You need to rest." The tears down the advisor's face had slowed to almost a halt, but as he started walking away there was a small stream of them again. Gods, please stop this, Ignis he thought to himself, embarrassed at his invulnerability.

With a smirk, the larger man followed suit until they found themselves inside the hotel. "You really think I'm letting you sleep on the couch? I'm huge, but I ain't that huge. Bunk with me." The man grinned before reaching a gentle finger up to catch a tear on his cheek, "no more of that, Iggy." He rested his hand on the small of Ignis' back ushering him forward to lead him to their chosen room. His feelings for the advisor at this point were completely undeniable. The idea sent a few butterflies through his stomach.

"If you insist," Ignis raised a hand to adjust his glasses on his nose with his index finger. He took a deep breath, eyes closed, and then exhaled, slowly opening them again. "We should make haste, it is nearing morning and those two will be stirring in a couple of hours. We won't get much rest... but it will be worth it to see you pleased and healed." The advisor rested his hand on Gladio's chest, gave him a quick peck to his lips and then turned to open the door to the room. "This way, quietly." He signalled the large man to the room where Ignis would have been sleeping alone, slowly taking off his jacket and glasses.

Gladio stepped lightly past the other boys door, imagining Prompto sprawled out on one side of the bed while Noct lay in a burrito of blankets on the other. The idea made him chuckle. Although being away allowed him to think a bit more clearly, it was nice being back in the presence of his companions. Quickly he followed the man into their designated room, shutting the door lightly behind him. "Hmm, I don't know about you but I'm gonna hit the shower. Been a few days annnd I'm fucking ripe." Gladio’s laughter erupted throughout the room before he stepped over to Ignis, placing a deep, drawn out kiss on his unexpecting lips. "Mmph get ready for bed, I'll be quick." He winked before turning on his heels to the bathroom.

Ignis relished the kiss as if it was their first. "Understood. I will be waiting..." He bit his lip as he watched the large man head for the bathroom, shutting the door behind him. The advisor took this moment to sit on the edge of the bed furthest away from the bathroom door and mull over in his head exactly what had taken place tonight. We have done so much... And I cherish it. He smiled wickedly at the thoughts of their actions. The slender man made haste in taking off the rest of his clothing and folding them neatly on a chair in the corner. He slipped into bed and withdrew a book from the drawer that he had been reading for the past few nights. With an arm behind his head propping him up, he temporarily lost himself in the pages.

With the door closed behind him, Gladio quickly stripped, careful to avoid any still healing wounds that dotted his bruised body. He let the water run as hot as he could take, the mirror quickly fogging over with the rising steam. Finally, a hot fucking shower. The man's body ached and protested as he moved under the shower head; it only taking a few moments for his muscles to adjust and loosen. He hung his head low beneath the spray as it soaked his hair and tanned skin, remnants of dirt and dried blood starting to pool at his calloused feet. With an arm resting at the back of the shower, the shield quickly sunk into deep thought, the events of the past few days swirling around his conscious. He had come out triumphant in his endeavors and couldn't be more proud. Not only did he conquer the Blademaster himself but... he managed to capture the heart of a man he held dear. A man he didn't know he needed to desperately until now. You're on a roll big man. He chuckled to himself, the more intimate of events causing him to shiver. After a few more moments of relaxing, Gladio lathered and rinsed himself off before stepping out of the shower. He caught his reflection in the mirror letting his eyes roam over his bulging muscles as he flexed for a moment before opening the door to the bathroom and leaning against the frame. "I was afraid you had fallen asleep," he peered at the advisor from across the room, a small grin playing at his lips.

"And leave you high and dry? Not a chance. I have more stamina than you seem to think, Gladio." The advisor chuckled, he was so in love with this man and it took the previous events of the evening for him to finally break and show it. "I wanted to fall asleep in your arms, and you in mine. Nothing would make me happier." Ignis smiled lovingly at the large man, his heart beginning to race thinking about it. He couldn't help but wonder if other events would unfold before that stage and he certainly wasn't about to object if they did…

Gladio smiled at the advisor’s words. There was no doubt his feelings for him had grown larger than the skies of Eos and with that he vowed to preserve it. Before continuing, he perked a brow. "Stamina you say? Well damn, I may have to test that theory." The shield pushed off of his place against the wall, his eyes remaining on the man before him as he padded toward the bed that cradled the object of his adoration. The towel once snug around toned hips now lay waste behind him. He stood at Ignis' covered feet, drinking in his presence before ascending onto the bed, crawling upward like that of a feral beast hunting its prey. His still damp hair lay at his shoulders aside from a few strands that fell to his face. As he moved, the dim light danced along his flexing muscles, beads of sweat starting to glisten against his skin like tiny beacons calling out for Ignis' touch.

The emerald-eyed man chuckled and it didn't take long for it to cross-fade into a moan as he felt the large man crawling up him. He lay still, eyes locked onto Gladio's with a sly smirk on his face. "You're going to test me once again? Albeit I'm not opposed to it this time, but you nearly lost your head earlier on..." Ignis gave the large man a wink as his free hand trailed up his side ever so lightly, grazing his fingers along his thigh and up to his ass. "At your own peril," the advisor was deliberately being sarcastic, trying to get a rise out of the man above him.

Gladio smirked, "hmmm what can I say...?" He pulled down the blankets letting it sit dangerously low atop Ignis' slender hips. He dipped down to gently trail his tongue from his navel, over his abs and between the crease of his pecs before stopping to lave at his jawline. "...I like to live dangerously." He smiled before crashing his lips to the man below him, the intensity increasing as their mouths danced together. He pulled away breathlessly and chuckled. "I really hope you didn't plan on waking up early tomorrow," the shield leaned to his ear, "because it's about to be a looong night..."

Higher Daily Fiber Intake, Less Risk for Disease

Doctors have a lot to say about how people can avoid catastrophic health events like strokes and heart attacks, but scientists in New Zealand recently perused thousands of studies spanning more than 40 years and identified a nutrient that can be a genuine game-changer in the alleviation and prevention of many diseases: fiber.

Researchers from the University of Otago conducted their review to verify why fiber has such a stellar reputation in helping to maintain overall health. They scrutinized 185 observational studies, which involved 135 million person-years and 58 clinical trials, comprising 4,635 adult participants.

Results of the study, published in The Lancet, revealed that people who make a habit of eating high amounts of dietary fiber are 15 to 30 percent less likely to die prematurely from any cause compared to people who include the least amounts of fiber.1

The researchers also disclosed that eating foods containing lots of fiber is directly correlated to a 16 to 24 percent lower incidence of stroke, Type 2 diabetes and heart disease, as well as colorectal cancer.

According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the authors noted that the impact could translate to 13 fewer deaths and six fewer cases of coronary heart disease per 1,000 participants, and that eating plenty of high-fiber foods is also linked to decreased weight and optimized cholesterol levels.2

The Lancet study wasn’t the first to show how important fiber consumption is. A 2014 study published by the American Journal of Epidemiology showed much the same thing: that a 10 percent reduced risk for all-cause mortality was observed for every 10 grams of fiber participants added to their overall fiber intake.3

A Call for Nutrition Guidelines to Emphasize Fiber Intake

The scientists in New Zealand used only healthy participants so their findings couldn’t be applied to people with existing chronic diseases. Jim Mann, a professor at the university and corresponding study author, noted several significant findings in regard to increased fiber consumption and the reduced risk of disease and death. According to Mann:

“The health benefits of fiber are supported by over 100 years of research into its chemistry, physical properties, physiology and effects on metabolism. Fiber-rich whole foods that require chewing and retain much of their structure in the gut increase satiety and help weight control and can favorably influence lipid and glucose levels.

The breakdown of fiber in the large bowel by the resident bacteria has additional wide-ranging effects including protection from colorectal cancer.”4

Besides looking at the causes of premature deaths from certain cancers, the researchers focused specifically on cancers associated with obesity, such as endometrial, esophageal, breast and prostate cancers, the study stated.

In recommending a healthy amount of fiber to consume, the authors noted that for every 8 grams of increased fiber intake per day, the study subjects showed a 5 to 27 percent decrease in incidences of Type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer. Protection against stroke and breast cancer also increased.

So how much fiber is recommended to optimize your health? According to the study, consuming 25 to 29 grams every day is merely adequate; their data indicated that higher intakes would be more protective, and therefore advised. Further, diets stressing a low glycemic index and low glycemic load, besides allowing added sugars, were shown to provide limited protection against Type 2 diabetes and stroke.

Mann emphasized that findings from the study point to a dire need for a change in nutrition guidelines to focus on an overall increase of fiber intake, not just because it’s “good for you,” but because it’s shown to literally change the dynamics of disease.

One thing to note is the mention that bacteria in your gut impacts so much of your overall health, not to mention your ability to maintain a healthy weight and fight off disease. It’s no secret that I believe gut bacteria to be a huge key to health, and maintaining a good balance of bacteria to ensure a healthy microbiome is crucial to many aspects of health, particularly for those fighting cancer.

Brush Up on Your Fiber Knowledge, as Well as Your Intake

There are two different types of fiber, and both are important. Soluble fiber easily dissolves in water and becomes gel-like in your system, acting as a sponge in some respects, as it moves into every crevice of your colon and helps to slow your digestion while also slowing the rate at which other nutrients are digested. The positive effects of soluble fiber come from actions that it both fosters and prevents.

Insoluble fiber, which does not dissolve, stays basically intact as it moves through your colon. Besides being completely devoid of calories, it helps prevent constipation because it “gathers” the byproducts and fluids you don’t want; it forms the waste that will eventually — and optimally — leave your body in the form of waste.

According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics,5 25 grams of fiber per day is sufficient for women, while 38 grams is recommended for men. However, in my opinion, this is one case where more really is better: My recommendation for daily fiber intake is 25 to 50 grams per 1,000 calories consumed.

How Fiber Works, Which Kinds Are Best and What to Avoid

Offering a synopsis of how fiber works in your body, Mann noted that when you eat fiber-rich foods that require extra chewing, and which also retain their basic structure in your gut, it can accomplish several goals. It satisfies food cravings and contributes to weight control, while positively impacting your lipid and glucose levels.

As bacteria break down fiber in your large intestine, they impart a number of additional benefits, not the least of which is protection from colorectal cancer. There are a number of ways to increase your fiber intake.

According to Mann’s team, “Foods rich in fiber include whole grains, vegetables, fruit and pulses, such as peas, beans, lentils and chickpeas.”6 Vegetables and fruits are whole foods that should be the backbone of your diet, but there are issues with both grain, including whole grain, and beans, such as those listed.

Yes, lentils are an example of a highly nutritious legume as they contain high amounts of folate, protein, manganese, iron, thiamin and phosphorus. But beans, lentils and chickpeas are also examples of foods that contain lectins that bind to carbohydrates and attach to cells that allow them to wreak havoc as part of the plant’s self-defense mechanism against pests, and have the potential to harm humans.

Steven Gundry, the doctor and author who in recent years has called widespread attention to the problems you can experience when you eat foods with lectins, notes that lectins can trigger uncomfortable physical symptoms similar to those caused by gluten, although in both cases, it depends on your system, and everyone’s system is different.

In addition, beans are high in net carbs, and therefore best avoided due to their toxic or allergenic effects. And that brings us to wheat, which also contains lectins.7 In fact, wheat and other seeds of the grass family, including soy, soy products, peanuts and some nightshade foods such as potatoes, bell peppers, eggplant and tomatoes, are among foods that contain the highest amounts of lectins.

One of the reasons wheat ends up being toxic is that it’s attracted to glucosamine, a monosaccharide found in your joints.8 (You may know that glucosamine, a compound your body produces, is a common supplement many people take to alleviate joint pain, although how glucosamine works should be researched by individuals before beginning a regimen.)9

Anyone with autoimmune conditions such as arthritis, heart disease, obesity, diabetes or thyroid dysfunction, among others, is advised to be careful when eating foods containing lectins. You should at least curtail your intake of lectin-containing foods, Gundry advises.10

Cooking them correctly — read: thoroughly, such as with a pressure cooker, and with lots of water to help rid them of the toxicity — is important to avoid what can result in painful symptoms.

Fortunately, it’s easy to get plenty of fiber in your diet without focusing on grains. Healthy foods with high amounts of fiber include green peas, artichoke, baked sweet potato with the peel intact, spinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and many other vegetables.

Additional foods that are also excellent in providing fiber include pears, raspberries, stewed prunes, dried figs or dates (eaten in moderation due to high sugar content), pumpkin, almonds, apples with the skin intact, bananas (also eaten in moderation) and oranges. Organic psyllium seed husk (nonorganic psyllium is typically loaded with pesticides) is another excellent way to optimize your fiber intake.

Benefits From Fiber Are Innumerable, Long-Lasting and Crucial for Health

When food gets “stuck” in your colon and refuses to leave, it causes a number of issues, not the least of which is pain. Eating a high-fiber diet has been shown to help prevent and alleviate leaky gut, suffered by as much as 80 percent of the population in the U.S.11 It starts in your small intestine and involves toxins caused by undigested foods, leading to allergies and worse.

Fortunately, few risks are associated with a high intake of fiber, although the featured study noted that people who have low iron or mineral levels who consume fiber in the form of bread, pasta and/or processed foods may further deplete their iron stores. In addition, “the study mainly relates to naturally-occurring fiber rich foods rather than synthetic and extracted fiber, such as powders, that can be added to foods.”12

Researchers from the University of Otago conducted their review to verify why fiber has such a stellar reputation in helping to maintain overall health. They scrutinized 185 observational studies, which involved 135 million person-years and 58 clinical trials, comprising 4,635 adult participants.

Results of the study, published in The Lancet, revealed that people who make a habit of eating high amounts of dietary fiber are 15 to 30 percent less likely to die prematurely from any cause compared to people who include the least amounts of fiber.1

The researchers also disclosed that eating foods containing lots of fiber is directly correlated to a 16 to 24 percent lower incidence of stroke, Type 2 diabetes and heart disease, as well as colorectal cancer.

According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the authors noted that the impact could translate to 13 fewer deaths and six fewer cases of coronary heart disease per 1,000 participants, and that eating plenty of high-fiber foods is also linked to decreased weight and optimized cholesterol levels.2

The Lancet study wasn't the first to show how important fiber consumption is. A 2014 study published by the American Journal of Epidemiology showed much the same thing: that a 10 percent reduced risk for all-cause mortality was observed for every 10 grams of fiber participants added to their overall fiber intake.3

A Call for Nutrition Guidelines to Emphasize Fiber Intake

The scientists in New Zealand used only healthy participants so their findings couldn't be applied to people with existing chronic diseases. Jim Mann, a professor at the university and corresponding study author, noted several significant findings in regard to increased fiber consumption and the reduced risk of disease and death. According to Mann:

"The health benefits of fiber are supported by over 100 years of research into its chemistry, physical properties, physiology and effects on metabolism. Fiber-rich whole foods that require chewing and retain much of their structure in the gut increase satiety and help weight control and can favorably influence lipid and glucose levels.

The breakdown of fiber in the large bowel by the resident bacteria has additional wide-ranging effects including protection from colorectal cancer."4

Besides looking at the causes of premature deaths from certain cancers, the researchers focused specifically on cancers associated with obesity, such as endometrial, esophageal, breast and prostate cancers, the study stated.

In recommending a healthy amount of fiber to consume, the authors noted that for every 8 grams of increased fiber intake per day, the study subjects showed a 5 to 27 percent decrease in incidences of Type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer. Protection against stroke and breast cancer also increased.

So how much fiber is recommended to optimize your health? According to the study, consuming 25 to 29 grams every day is merely adequate; their data indicated that higher intakes would be more protective, and therefore advised. Further, diets stressing a low glycemic index and low glycemic load, besides allowing added sugars, were shown to provide limited protection against Type 2 diabetes and stroke.

Mann emphasized that findings from the study point to a dire need for a change in nutrition guidelines to focus on an overall increase of fiber intake, not just because it's "good for you," but because it's shown to literally change the dynamics of disease.

One thing to note is the mention that bacteria in your gut impacts so much of your overall health, not to mention your ability to maintain a healthy weight and fight off disease. It's no secret that I believe gut bacteria to be a huge key to health, and maintaining a good balance of bacteria to ensure a healthy microbiome is crucial to many aspects of health, particularly for those fighting cancer.

Brush Up on Your Fiber Knowledge, as Well as Your Intake

There are two different types of fiber, and both are important. Soluble fiber easily dissolves in water and becomes gel-like in your system, acting as a sponge in some respects, as it moves into every crevice of your colon and helps to slow your digestion while also slowing the rate at which other nutrients are digested. The positive effects of soluble fiber come from actions that it both fosters and prevents.

Insoluble fiber, which does not dissolve, stays basically intact as it moves through your colon. Besides being completely devoid of calories, it helps prevent constipation because it "gathers" the byproducts and fluids you don't want; it forms the waste that will eventually — and optimally — leave your body in the form of waste.

According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics,5 25 grams of fiber per day is sufficient for women, while 38 grams is recommended for men. However, in my opinion, this is one case where more really is better: My recommendation for daily fiber intake is 25 to 50 grams per 1,000 calories consumed.

How Fiber Works, Which Kinds Are Best and What to Avoid

Offering a synopsis of how fiber works in your body, Mann noted that when you eat fiber-rich foods that require extra chewing, and which also retain their basic structure in your gut, it can accomplish several goals. It satisfies food cravings and contributes to weight control, while positively impacting your lipid and glucose levels.

As bacteria break down fiber in your large intestine, they impart a number of additional benefits, not the least of which is protection from colorectal cancer. There are a number of ways to increase your fiber intake.

According to Mann's team, "Foods rich in fiber include whole grains, vegetables, fruit and pulses, such as peas, beans, lentils and chickpeas."6 Vegetables and fruits are whole foods that should be the backbone of your diet, but there are issues with both grain, including whole grain, and beans, such as those listed.

Yes, lentils are an example of a highly nutritious legume as they contain high amounts of folate, protein, manganese, iron, thiamin and phosphorus. But beans, lentils and chickpeas are also examples of foods that contain lectins that bind to carbohydrates and attach to cells that allow them to wreak havoc as part of the plant's self-defense mechanism against pests, and have the potential to harm humans.

Steven Gundry, the doctor and author who in recent years has called widespread attention to the problems you can experience when you eat foods with lectins, notes that lectins can trigger uncomfortable physical symptoms similar to those caused by gluten, although in both cases, it depends on your system, and everyone's system is different.

In addition, beans are high in net carbs, and therefore best avoided due to their toxic or allergenic effects. And that brings us to wheat, which also contains lectins.7 In fact, wheat and other seeds of the grass family, including soy, soy products, peanuts and some nightshade foods such as potatoes, bell peppers, eggplant and tomatoes, are among foods that contain the highest amounts of lectins.

One of the reasons wheat ends up being toxic is that it's attracted to glucosamine, a monosaccharide found in your joints.8 (You may know that glucosamine, a compound your body produces, is a common supplement many people take to alleviate joint pain, although how glucosamine works should be researched by individuals before beginning a regimen.)9

Anyone with autoimmune conditions such as arthritis, heart disease, obesity, diabetes or thyroid dysfunction, among others, is advised to be careful when eating foods containing lectins. You should at least curtail your intake of lectin-containing foods, Gundry advises.10

Cooking them correctly — read: thoroughly, such as with a pressure cooker, and with lots of water to help rid them of the toxicity — is important to avoid what can result in painful symptoms.

Fortunately, it's easy to get plenty of fiber in your diet without focusing on grains. Healthy foods with high amounts of fiber include green peas, artichoke, baked sweet potato with the peel intact, spinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and many other vegetables.

Additional foods that are also excellent in providing fiber include pears, raspberries, stewed prunes, dried figs or dates (eaten in moderation due to high sugar content), pumpkin, almonds, apples with the skin intact, bananas (also eaten in moderation) and oranges. Organic psyllium seed husk (nonorganic psyllium is typically loaded with pesticides) is another excellent way to optimize your fiber intake.

Benefits From Fiber Are Innumerable, Long-Lasting and Crucial for Health

When food gets "stuck" in your colon and refuses to leave, it causes a number of issues, not the least of which is pain. Eating a high-fiber diet has been shown to help prevent and alleviate leaky gut, suffered by as much as 80 percent of the population in the U.S.11 It starts in your small intestine and involves toxins caused by undigested foods, leading to allergies and worse.

Fortunately, few risks are associated with a high intake of fiber, although the featured study noted that people who have low iron or mineral levels who consume fiber in the form of bread, pasta and/or processed foods may further deplete their iron stores. In addition, "the study mainly relates to naturally-occurring fiber rich foods rather than synthetic and extracted fiber, such as powders, that can be added to foods."12
