hiii ^^ I would like some headcanons for riddle, malleus, vil and rook with a fem mc that accidentally ends up making them laugh (because what she says or does is very random xd maybe an example would be like jennifer lawrence sjjs she is very funny ) well that's all, thanks and take care <3
Riddle, Malleus, Vil, and Rook with an S/O who can make them laugh with the most random things
A/N: Hello to you too Anon! I know this has been in my inbox for gods knows how long- But thank you still for sending this in! I hope this is to your liking!

Fem!Reader
Riddle Rosehearts
Riddle is a bit difficult to get a good genuine laugh out of, at least in my opinion.
Like sure you have a small chuckle when he finds something amusing, but i feel like it'd be a bit of a challenge to get a good genuine laugh out of.
Then you came in, saying the strangest things at the most unrelated times!
And Ace and Deuce find this absolutely hilarious
You'll say the most out of pocket shit with the straightest face and somehow half the people around you start to laugh some others breaking out in giggles
Ace and Deuce have definitely talked about this 'talent' of yours, at least in their words.
You had said some of these strange comments around Riddle and he found them strange a bit endearing as well
I'd think the time you got a good laugh out of him was when you had come with him to take care of some of the hedgehogs
The two of you were sitting in the grass some of the hedgehogs were playing while a few had decided that climbing on the two of you was a good way to pass the time
One had wandered up onto your head and almost fell off but luckily you were able to save the little guy before he fully hit the ground
After Riddle worriedly checked the little guy over you while looking over his shoulder at the small animal said:
"Well at least we know this one has no self preservation"
Unwillingly, or maybe subconsciously, a small laugh makes it's way through Riddles chest to his lips.
Well, now maybe he saw what those two were blabbering on about
Your little comments were always appreciated with Riddle
Even if they didn't cause him to laugh they did brighten his mood at least somewhat
"Yes, this one does tend to be a bit of a handful. Reminds me of a certain rose I know"
He teased before you two fell back into the pattern of caring for the small animals
More chuckles and comments to come no doubt
Malleus Draconia
At first Malleus didn't understand why the rest of Diasomnia found your remarks so comical
Yes his child of man did tend to bring a certain warmth where ever she walked
But he didn't see this as an excuse for the amount of laughter you cause people around you
Most of the remarks you make will fly over his head
I'm sorry but he seems like the kind of guy to not get the joke until you explain it to him-
Now the Thorn Prince does share a few chuckles with those around him when he finds something amusing, similar to Riddle
But it's even more difficult to get a laugh out of him considering he doesn't get a lot of the play on words type of jokes
but something abrupt and slightly out of context?
I feel like that would get some sort of laugh out of him
One day you were talking with Malleus about some of the things you did in your old world
The topic of amusement parks came up and you started listing the rides you used to go on as a child
Roller coasters, bumper cars, lazy rides where you could relax, until you blanked on the name of a ride
It was frustrating considering it was probably something simple and you would remember it after their conversation, but you wanted to keep the ball rolling
Malleus mean while was partly enjoying seeing how frustrated you got over a simple word
You really were a strange thing weren't you Child of man?
"I'm sorry Mal- I know what I'm thinking of! It's on the tip of my tongue- It's like one of those horse tornado things!"
Horse.. tornado..?
Now that got Malleus attention
he understood the other rides you described, favoring the lazy rides
but what ever this horse tornado was... it sounded.. strange, yet curious at the same time
"CAROUSELS!! FUCKING CAROUSELS, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE CALLED!"
Malleus let out a small puff of air before he started chuckling under his breath
You truly were a strange one weren't you child of man, just like the world you came from
Malleus pressed a kiss to your forehead letting out one more chuckle before speaking
"Truly fascinating, maybe one day you could bring me to one of these 'horse tornados' you have me interested"
Sure jokes your fly over his head, but he would tease you some what for your small skips in memory
Vil Schoenheit
Now Vil, having acted in a lot of movies, (If I'm correct) Would have probably had a few good laughs in that line of work
Weather that be on set or behind the cameras
But he doesn't often let out a good laugh in public, it's not really part of the proper image he'd want to put out there
As for behind closed doors or with close friends he's definitely willing to have a laugh
And who better to bring a smile to his face than his lovely sweet potato?
Though one good moment always stuck out to him that caused him to have one of the most genuine laughs in awhile
The two of you were getting ready to go out to a fancy restaurant, courtesy of Vil of course, hair, makeup, shoes things like that
While Vil was sitting at his vanity working on his eyes when you came out of the bathroom in a stunning dress hand picked by Vil
It brought out all your best features while still being enough coverage to where it wasn't uncomfortable to wear into a public area
The two of you made idle conversation as you sat on a near by chair to slip on a matching set of heels for the dress
As you stood up in the heels to work on your own makeup you lost your balance thanks to the new height the heels provided
Although Vil was quick to catch you making sure you came no where near the floor he still was concerned
"Oh sweet potato are you alright? What happened?"
Yes looking back on it the question seemed dumb but he was concerned
but you just let out a giggle while regaining your balance before saying:
"Well I'm not sure what happened, but I remember wanting to yell 'fuck' as my last words before I embarrassed myself"
Vil took a moment while looking at you
then a chuckle escaped his lips which soon turned into the two of you sharing a small laugh
Now Vil doesn't know why he laughs at your antics, in hindsight they're just normal phrases
But maybe it's the delivery?
Or the way you smile at him?
What ever it may be it always causes a smile to grace his lips or a chuckle to be drawn from him
Sure Vil maybe all about preserving beauty and making sure he looks flawless
But if he happens to get a few smile lines because of your antics, he will never hold it against you
"Well my darling, I'm glad to hear you're alright. It would be a shame if you or your lovely dress got roughed up before we left. Now come, you still want to do your makeup don't you? Allow me to help"
Rook Hunt
Now Rook has plenty of laughs in his life
Weather that be from stalking some poor soul or a genuine laugh among friends
Rook out of the four is probably the easiest to get a laugh from
He's a joyful guy wanting to see all nature and the world has to offer! Can you blame him?
Then enters you who some how can't help but leave Rook giggling when ever you do something!
You put your tie on wrong? Oh silly Trickster aren't you just the sweetest thing!
Then comes your words which to Rook is a whole new ball park
Rook tends to hold onto every word meant for him, weather that be written or spoken out loud
His darling Tricksters words are so elegant and so sweet how could he not treasure everyone!
What really gets him chuckling and laughing is the moments when your words aren't as sweet and graceful
Cut to one day when you and Rook were in the fields often used for flying class
Rook had a desire to teach you archery so he happened to drag you along with a quiver and bow to some targets set by his hand
After the first few moments of Rook teaching you how to properly hold and aim the bow and making sure your arm guard was secure (He wouldn't want his darling trickster to get rope burn!) He let you shoot
All was going well as you hit targets in an... acceptable way
But all that seemed to end when a large gust of wind sent your best shot yet off course and into the ground
And just as Rook was about to offer some encouragement to keep going and try once more
some colorful language came from you to say the least
"Wind!? Really!?! Could you not wait two fucking minuets!! Nooooo! You just had to thro my best shot off course you-!"
Now don't get Rook wrong he hold the sweet words you two share close to his heart
But there was just something about you yelling at the wind of all things that caused him to start laughing
As he laid on the grass of the field eyes closed as he laughed
Oh? It seems your colorful language is directed towards him now? Even better!
"Trickster- reine de mon coeur! Please I believe- I believe you have shared plenty enough words with the wind today!"
A/N: This is actually the first time I've taken a good look at the name of Malleus' dorm. Dia = Dragon. Somnia = Sleep
Diasomnia = Dragon of sleep
just a ting i found silly :)

puppy love
inspired by that one scene in skip and loafer where mitsumi pets shima's hair;; not my best but its cute jskfdh
kim seungmin x reader
genre: fluff, non-idol au
you have been staring at seungmin the entire day. not because of anything bad, itâs just that there's this one thing that has been bothering you lately. propping your fist against your chin, you let out a burdened sigh.
ever since he had dyed his hair this captivating caramel color at the start of senior year, which was only a few weeks ago, you canât seem to get your eyes off him.Â
the change was refreshing, like seeing him in a completely different light. it had suited him so well, the blondish gold complemented his features like it was supposed to be like that from the start.
whenever you would place your curious gaze on him, the gears in your mind start turning, unable to place your finger on what it reminded you of. it had definitely started to become sort of a routine for you.
youâre also pretty sure seungmin had figured out you have been burning holes at the back of his head during lectures or lunch. he would sometimes look back at you with a quirk of his lip and a questioning gaze, making you shift your focus to somewhere else, cheeks reddening like a child catching glimpses of their crush.
but now you are sure he looked like someone. but who? youâre trying to figure that out yourself.
you donât know where this sudden fascination with his hair came from, was it because it made him look so handsome? or maybe the way it looked very cute whenever it flopped around when he moved?Â
confused feelings for the caramel haired boy aside, you decide to let it go.
you were hanging out with the man himself and a bunch of other friends one afternoon and started scrolling through your phone. they wouldnât mind, seeing as to how all of them were currently preoccupied with playing a board game.
âhey, you canât just do that! you have to give me money!â
âi can do whatever i want!â
you subconsciously block the noise coming from your rowdy friends, very much used to the chaotic nature. your thumb landed on a really adorable picture of your sweet little puppy back at home, already missing him. a thought instantly strikes you.   Â
you look up from your phone. and then to seungmin. and then back to your phone.Â
itâs the exact same?!
youâve finally cracked it. he looked exactly like your family dog. comparing him to an actual dog sounded mean, but you meant this genuinely as a compliment, you absolutely adored your golden retriever puppy- haru, more than your own family. the longer you thought about it, itâs sweet demeanor and honey colored coat resembled kim seungmin right in front of you.
after thinking about this revelation, you kept it to yourself, out of context it could sound mean. the last thing you wanted was to offend someone when you meant it in an endearing way.
so upon walking home one day, hurried footsteps trailed behind yours, prompting you to turn to see who it was. it was seungmin himself, his hair flopping in the wind, resembling the cutest pair of puppy ears.
he finally stopped, panting heavily after chasing you for a good while now. he straightened up, opening his adorable mouth to say something to you.
you couldnât help yourself, the thought of wanting to feel his soft looking hair.
âharu-â you cover your mouth as soon as the words left it, extremely mortified to have said it out loud.
âharu? whoâs that?â seungmin teases your increasingly flustered state. âare you mistaking me for someone else?â it was too late, you have to explain now.
âno...its...myâŠfamilyâs dogâŠâ you blurted out, embarrassed of saying it in front of him. you had fully expected him to get mad but he doesnât. instead, seungmin lets out a chuckle, his eyes crinkling in what seems to be delight.
âwell, my hair is really soft.â he watches your face morph into confusion as he tucks his hands coyly into his pockets. he wasnât mad?
 âdo you want to touch? you've been staring at it all week.â
seungmin wasnât known for being touchy with his friends or anyone for that matter so you can imagine the shock on your face when he leans down to your level, silently allowing you to do so.
placing a hesitant touch on his honey hued locks with one hand, you slowly bring your other to ruffle his head, really going at it and much like you would do to haru. a grin graces your features as his strands get messed up, absolutely elated that you now know what his hair feels like.
once you were done, he straightens up and pats his messy hair back in its place as best as he can. seungmin quietly wraps an arm around your shoulder, as if nothing happened.
âgot it out of your system?â you nod gleefully.
âgood, now i can ask you out for a date.â

hii! could you do peeta melark x reader? just some domestic sunday morning cuddling :) thanks so much!
'cause it's gravity, keeping you with me
peeta mellark x reader | word count : 0.9k | requested
a/n : hii!! to be honest, i wasn't really sure on how to write this so i'm really sorry if this wasn't what you had in mind, but i tried my best, and i hope you'll enjoy reading it either way! :) thank you for the request < 33 (also yes, i know the picture i chose doesnât quite match the theme of this fic but look at him!! and look at that golden light on his face!!!)
contains : baddd writing. fluff -> soft intimacy!! but a bit of angst too if you squint. you know, longings and a sense of vulnerability. feelings of hopelessness and despair in the past. let me know if there's more!
ââââââââââââââââââââ
the soft morning sun drifted its way to your face, resting its warm light against your closed eyes. you were just about to give yourself an excuse to sleep in a bit later before you subconsciously remembered that, today is a sunday. no business in waking up early then, you thought, as you pulled the blanket closer.
you shifted a bit and shuffled in closer to peetaâs body next to you. His breathing met at the same pace as yours and his heartbeat the same thrum as the one you had going.
peeta mellark. you knew it was silly to dwell on what could have and would have, but every day, each morning, as you woke up to his comforting presence next to you, you couldnât help but wonder, what would your life have become, if he hadnât been there to keep it going?
the war had destroyed everything, leaving trails of loss in its path, wider than the land itself. you didnât know what you would have done, if you hadnât seen him again. if he hadnât come back to your life and reminded you that there were still reasons to live and try to heal for.
and every day you woke up feeling more grateful than the day before.
you didnât know if an hour had passed, or had it been merely minutes later, when you felt peetaâs arms on your waist, pulling you back onto his chest, engulfing you in more of his warmth, his comfort. his head nested on the crook of your neck, his messy golden blonde hair on your cheek.
in response and out of habit, you brought your hands to his curls, smoothing them softly.
ây/n, sweetheart?â he muttered, and you could feel his lips on your shoulder, sending vibrations onto your skin and bone. it was crazy how he could still make your heart skipped a beat like it was the first time.
âhm?â you responded, still not ready to part with sleep too much to say anything else.
his lips lost touch with your skin and moved on to your ear, whispering, âturn around, look at me please.âÂ
and so you slowly did. with your eyes still refusing to open, you felt his fingers playing with your hair, pulling them off your forehead.Â
âmorning, sleepyhead.â he chuckled, and you could tell that he was playfully rolling his eyes. he kissed your temple slowly, and you let your eyes flutter open.Â
rubbing your eyes in an effort to erase the sleep out of them, you mumbled, âhow are you already awake? itâs sunday.â
âold habits die hard,â heâd answered before you felt his hands on your wrists, stroking them softly with his thumbs.Â
you placed your arms around his chest, and as if on cue, he pulled you closer to him, earning him a soft sigh. âdo you think itâs physically possible for us to get any closer?â he wondered aloud with a way too cute smile on his face.
still not entirely conscious, you muttered without thinking, âmaybe once our bodies have withered into skeletons." oh, you caught yourself. âoh wait, that's dark.âÂ
he let out a light laugh at your scrunched up eyebrows. âi love you.âÂ
you looked up at him, into his deep beautiful blue eyes. his eyelashes are so long. âi love you too, peet.âÂ
and you did, you really did. you told him that everyday, but you never did think it was enough. it was so dramatic to actually utter it, but you truly didnât think there was enough variety in the english dictionary to fully capture this. this thing that passed between you and him.
as if hearing your quiet thoughts, maybe your eyes had displayed a moment of fragility in them, he responded saying, âi know, love, i know.âÂ
the grip on your waist held on tighter, like it was scared if it faltered, then it would lose. you mirrored his gesture and snuggled your head further into his chest, the top of your head touching his chin.Â
âyou want to get some breakfast?â he mumbled into your tousled hair.Â
you thought about it for a second, but then shook your head. you looked up at him, a wide smile etched onto your face. âno, iâm good here.âÂ
you didnât want to leave this yet, this sacred place. one where you could feel his signs of life all around you, one where you could shut the entire world all around you and its bleak reality and made it only consist of you and him. peeta mellark.Â
was it possible to fall further in love with the same person every time you heard his name in your head? was it possible to have the same name echoed through your head over and over like a promise?
you saw his lips formed into a bigger smile, his fingers played with the strands of your hair.Â
maybe you knew, maybe you didnât, but all he could think about at this very moment was how he had gotten so lucky. to have you here beside him, letting him love you and and letting him show it to you. he looked at your face, with that big smile on it, eyes still bleary from sleep. you were so beautiful, my god.Â
he nodded, agreed. he didnât want to leave too. if he could stay here forever, he would. it would be like having lived a lifetime itself, he thought. âyeah, me too." he said softly as he planted a kiss on your forehead.Â

let you break my heart againâ2
series link
#SOF: biggest thank you to @rocksanneig for helping with the translations đ€đ€
âhello! âcharles said to the (y/h/c), giddy that yn came.
the big part of him knew yn would come. she was always there. but he told himself not to be too confident and maybe there was a small chance she wouldnât come. he told himself maybe she just needed a little more time.
but there she was, standing tiredly in front of him with her pillow hanging to her side, the pillowcase charles had gotten for her was hanging in between her finger tips.
yn had been complaining about the itchiness of her pillowcase and the next day charles was handing her a bag of soft pillow cases he had bought with some of his racing money.
âsalut hiâ she whispered, subconsciously using french as the language whilst she shivered from the sudden wind. âcome in! â charles opened the door wider, making sure she got in before closing the door behind her. he took her other hand gently and hurried to the living room. her heart rate had quickened at his touch.
all the leclercâs were aware of them occupying the living room, pascale made sure arthur and lorenzo wouldnât disturb the two teens. she had always loved yn as her own daughter and wanted nothing more for them to stop fighting â maybe even a confession.
âi am very very sorry, yn. i can not apologize enough but thank you for coming.â he sat her down the couch âouais yeahâ she mumbled, still unease with her paced heart rate and the situation.
ây/n/n, dis quelque chose say somethingâ charles sighed, nudging her after a while of silence and she shook her head â'tu sais ce qu'on dit dans le code des filles -ou le code des garçons, charles ? on met pas ses amourettes avant sa meilleure amie. you ever heard of girl codeâ even boy code, charles? you donât put âflingsâ or whatever before your best friendâ
âje sais, je suis dĂ©solĂ©- i know, iâm sorry-â
â'Non tu sais pas ! T'es mĂȘme pas amoureux de Lacy. C'est qui pour toi ? La troisiĂšme fille avec qui tu sors cette annĂ©e juste parce qu'elle trouve que t'es beau et qu'elle t'aime bien ? C'est pas comme ça que ça fonctionne. no you donât know! you donât even like lacy. what is she? your third girl of the year just because they say they think youâre hot and they like you? it doesnât work like that.â
âTu te mets pas avec quelqu'un parce qu'il t'aime et que tu apprĂ©cies le fait qu'on t'aime; tu te mets avec quand c'est rĂ©ciproque. Ăa fait souffrir l'autre personne! you donât get with someone just because they like you and you like that someone likes you; you get with them when you actually like them. it hurts the other person!â
âi.. i am not with lacy anymoreâ he mumbled, fiddling with the knit blanket. she raised a brow as if she had proven her point.
âdonât expect anythingâ yn quietly reminded herself
âshe broke up with meâ she looks at charles. what kind of an idiot would leave him? sure, charles had his flaws, but to yn he was the only man who she considered âperfectâ even in his own way.
she gave charles a hug. charles always found comfort in her hugs, an indescribable feeling to him.
âiâm sorry charles but that doesnât excuse what you did. it may be small to others but the one day i asked for us to have, you leave me waiting for hours.â she whispers
âi know, i will never do it again! i promise!â and he stood by that. âsorry about your breakup thoughâ she mumbles, pulling away from the hug
âIt is okay, at least we get to spend more time together, like before!â charles smiled âgot any upcoming races?â she leaned back on the couch, changing the topic. she did not want a fight, she wanted him to understand, maybe a little too naive at the time.
âone next next week.â charles leans over to open a bag of chips, offering her some. âi wish i could go but iâve been slumped with workâ yn sighs, munching on her chips âdonât worry! iâll ask maman to video it all so we can watch it togetherâ
âi canât wait for youâ she says with a small smile before they fall into their usual chatter, forgetting to even watch a movie.
pascale finds them both sleeping on the couch, charles embracing yn. she takes a photo of them on the polaroid camera lorenzo recently got for the family. she puts it in a memory album charles doesnât know exists. It has pages of them growing up together.
1 month later, october, is the peak of senior prom talk. the schools in monaco arenât as large as others, meaning word spreads fast. charles recently got with another girl, heather, who he thinks is the one. but heâs 15, what does he know?
yn hasnât bothered to speak about it since the last argument⊠rather, the lack of argument. she hangs out with charles once or twice a week and to her, thatâs enough.
during a usual leclerc- yln dinner, charles mentions him going to prom with heather. the others indulge in that topic as pascale turns to look at yn. she sees the young girl looking down at her food, keeping her eyes trained on the pasta.
âwhat about you, yn? any cute boys?â lorenzo asks, making yn look up. charles looks at her as well.
charles hadnât thought about that.
âum.. a few have asked but.. i didnât really say yesâ she shrugs.
âwhy notâ
âhow comeâ
âare you going alone?â
the others push more follow-up questions. âi donât really know... besides, shouldnât we be talking about lorenzoâs girlfriend?â she smiles and tries to shift the conversation, which thankfully works.
ironically, the next day at school, one of the few boys yn may actually think is cute, asks her to the prom. âsureâ she smiles. a little company canât hurt anyone.
as mentioned, word travels fast in their school. hence charles storming into ynâs room at 9 in the evening. âyou did not tell meâ âcharlie, it doesnât hurt to knock sometimesâ she says, putting on some moisturizer.
âyou did not tell me you were going to prom withâ what is his name? philus ?â he repeats âitâs philippeâ she cocks her head to the side, setting the moisturizer down
âwhy did you not tell me?â âcharlie, he asked me out todayâ
âand?â âcharles, you literally just got home from your date with heather. why do you think?â she said, exasperated
âyou could text me!â he bickers âwhy is this so important? i would have told you yesterday!â
âBecause we do not talk as much and Iâ I just want what is best for youâ âAnd whose fault do you think that is?â she whispers
history repeats itself, another girl, another argument.
charles quietly leaves the room with a muttered apology but comes back, just as quickly, to hug her and wipe the tears away.
âstop ditching me for girls, its pathetic of me to cry over thisâ she mumbled in his sweatshirt âi am stupid, do not cry over me, pleaseâ
he then hasnât understood the layers to the argument, yet again, but there was an unspoken rule to him that he couldnât go to sleep with you two being in an argument, not again.
the next week, charles takes yn out for a joint birthday dinner. she ends up paying for it after multiple quarrels on who pays. it was his birthday, after all. she ends up giving him a bracelet she bought for him. he told her that he would never take it off.
november strolls by and charles has never been more enthusiastic for ynâs birthday. she deserved a good one. he spoiled her that day and dragged her away for a moment to give her a necklace with a friendship ring, both their initials engraved. she thanks him with a tight, bone crushing hug.
january break is spent supporting charlesâ races, being present in all of them.
february, prom finally happens. it would have been much memorable to yn if she wasnât still hung up on charles. her date was kind and good for her. charles and her would subconsciously both look at each other.
though, that night, they all get home with little giggles, yn and charles saying good night to each other as they enter their houses. and just before charles can shut the door, he notices a letter sitting under the door mat.
he picks it up, paying no mind, until he sees your name. his first thought of his, to return it to you, is stopped when he sees the stamp of oxford.

#tristampparty day 12, episode 0: high noon at july
LAST DAY OF @tristampparty ALREADY LET'S GOOOOOO
bang, bang!! nai liking movies is such a cute little detail, (it's in the manga too!!) i don't think it gets talked about enough. he went from thinking gunslinging heroes were cool to guns being a coward's weapon...
i still can't really fully wrap my head around the higher dimension... it contains the "core" of the plants and... it's where plants pull matter and energy from...? yeah i CANNOT fathom it actually
also like. how did humans even discover how plants worked and what they could do. assuming the lore is the same as in the manga (for what lore there is in the manga...) and humans created plants. who what when where why how. humans made plants and use plants every day yet they're such a black box... uuaaaaa (steam comes out of my ears from thinking too hard)
zazie's priority lies with the planet itself and whether or not worms will be able to continue to live and thrive on it, but i wish we got to see more of what the worms need to like. actually live and survive. they have a hivemind so they can't truly "die" (i guess unless every single worm is wiped out), but what do they need to live? we see that the giant worms eat humans, but what did they eat before humans crashed on the planet? tomas? other worms? do they photosynthesize? do they need to breathe? humans use worms for food and resources, but what exactly would knives have do to the planet to make it unlivable for the worms?
the song that vash sings is... the song knives plays on his piano. in the original/98, the song that was important to vash was rem's song. here, that... may or may not be the case...? vash says the song "just comes to him," but in this scene he's forgotten rem... then again, the song isn't what helps him remember her.
there was a theory post from a while ago that posited this song is the voice, or... frequency of the plants(?) which could very well be the case. vash and knives taking that frequency and singing or playing it in a way humans can hear... rem was onto something when she called them a bridge.
i wonder how much of this scene is an actual memory. maybe vash did sing that song, and nai heard it, and they played it on the piano together. and that's why knives continues to play it in the present day.
maybe i'll go eat some rocks.
this is reminding me of... in the manga when vash escaped from the ark and knives was begging him not to go. it's... yeah, pretty much the same. different scenario, but the same.
this sequence is so gorgeous... once again i'm asking how people ever thought this anime looked bad. lmao.
BUT MY MAIN QUESTION IS THIS!!! IS THIS REALLY REM SPEAKING TO VASH HERE? we know that in trimax, ghosts kind of exist, right? like tesla appearing to the twins, wolfwood appearing to livio... is this a similar case? what's happening on the "outside" is meryl's voice reaching through to vash, right? so is this more like, meryl's presence reminds vash of rem, so this is what vash wishes he could hear from her? like is this coming from his subconscious? or... is it really the spirit of rem somehow...
i'm overthinking it. i'm overthinking it.
i wonder what rem's ghost would say to knives.
i'm obsessed with the fight that comes after. OBSESSED. screencaps don't do it justice, i love the weightiness, the camerawork, the choreography... IT'S JUST FUN TO WATCH!!!!
THE BITE HAS BEEN POSTED SO MANY TIMES BUT I LOVE IT SO MUCH IT'S SO FUNNY. outside of when they were kids, this is the most they've acted like siblings this whole show and i love it.
why are his boobs so big
and then there's the wings. the wings... and their context. manga readers know. they're a symbol of, hmm... not forgiveness, but... the first step to it, maybe. the love between them. flying to safety. supporting each other. being side-by-side. right?
they're using their wings to fight each other right now, so i'm sure the plan is to hit us with the wings again at the end for maximum emotional impact. the fact that they both have one wing each makes that extremely fucking obvious, i think. (remember in the manga vash sprouted 2 wings at first, which he couldn't sustain)
I JUST LOVE THIS SHOT. IT'S SO COOL.
oh. ohhhhhhh.
it's so interesting that the angel arm comes from vash combining(?) the cube with his gun... does this mean angel arms can't manifest normally? like, do you need the cube? or does the cube just make it easier? and what about knives, can he manifest his?? like this can't be the one and only appearance of the angel arm in tristamp, right, we're gonna need it again for the fifth moon and the ark escape, right??
(assuming those events will even happen in tristamp, but fifth moon AT LEAST is like. a constant in all timelines, i feel. like how time travel stories have "nodes" that can't be changed, right? but this isn't actually that kind of story. so who knows.)
...huuuuhhhh and i just noticed vash's prosthetic arm disappears when he manifests the angel arm. umm... i'm not entire sure what that means. is it because his gate was in his left arm...?
hey where'd she get those binoculars
crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch (i'm chewing on rocks)
CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH
CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH
"since when have we been so different"... kills me in so many ways, but... in episode 3 vash says that knives hasn't changed. ("since that time," he says, which i assume is referring to the flashback scene in episode 9.) and knives says right back at you. but here, vash is basically saying, who are you. you're unrecognizable to me now. that's literally what he says in the dub. and again knives says right back at you. "you haven't changed." "i could say the same of you." "who are you?" "who are you?" they're brothers. they haven't changed. they've changed so much. they know each other better than anyone else. they don't recognize each other anymore. they love each other. did they ever really know each other?
crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch.
when i first watched tristamp the significance of this all was lost on me. i didn't know any context.
i didn't know that the original trigun started with july already destroyed. i didn't know vash's original bounty. i didn't catch the insurance department mention, or who eriks was, or chronica, or what it meant that the earth fleet was going to arrive, or this being numbered "episode 0"... nothing. all of it went completely over my head. oh i knew milly though. milly is forever.
but now i'm people who know. and i think orange's decision to adapt the story like this, to make it a prequel... is fucking ballsy and cool and i respect it.
that being said, i still don't understand what zazie is talking about... and how they know this. i don't understand all the scifi technobabble with chronica at the end either... what i'm assuming is that the earth forces are keeping tabs on the higher plane(??) and/or on gate readings(?) and... were alerted to what was going on that way? does "crossing over the wall of light" just mean they're using warp drive? why can't zazie talk normally.
uagh. what a fucking journey, man, and it hasn't even begun yet. glad i got to rewatch and go a little crazy. i think the fixation is beginning to fade a little bit (it's been long enough, this is how my brain cycles through things) but the brainrot never truly goes away. girl with plant twins icon gets emotional about the plant twins once again, more at 11.
ty to @revenantghost for organizing i had fun!! :'D

I would love your full thoughts on the AI debate. I think it can become a very useful tool for artists but thatâs my non artists opinion
A few months back, I was telling my partner how the AI-generated art at this moment in time reminds me of the works of the Surrealists. The Surrealists were big on drawing from dreams and the subconscious, and came up with a bunch of games and exercises designed to stimulate creativity by divorcing your conscious mind from the artistic process. I said that so far humanity hadn't created a conscious AI, but I wondered aloud if we hadn't created a subconscious AI. I guess that's why some of these programs have names like "Deep Dream" and "Dall-E".
My partner said, "You're so high right now." And I was. But I still think that we created something, and it's dreaming. And it's very much listening to what we're whispering in its ear.
The problem some people have with AI-generated art is that it steals art from actual living and dead human artists in order to create its works. It's considered poor taste among humans to steal someone's artwork and present it as your own. But we are allowed to collage and to nip around the edges of copyrights until we can find something we're actually allowed to do. So it seems like a grey area.
The real problem though, is that it absolutely will steal your jorb. And my jorb. I can definitely see a not-too-distant future where anyone will be able to sit down and spend a couple of days crafting their own full-length motion picture with AI assistance, and have it look as good as or better than anything we've got today. Not everyone is a storyteller, but I think it'll really open up the field for almost anyone to try. The next Stephen Spielberg could be just some sixteen year old kid on the internet, and I think that scares a lot of employed artists. Because even employed artists are just sort of barely employed.
In the end, it just sort of seems like one of those things (there are so many!) that you just can't do anything about. Studios are always looking to pinch pennies, and there's no way the biggies aren't funding research into this stuff. The really dark times will be when the studios have the tech and the public hasn't gotten its hands on it yet. Things are gonna get weird.
Artists are going to have to deal with AI the same way so many other industries will. More and more, I think it's the changes coming for society at large that people dread. We humans certainly don't seem to be very good at preparing for the inevitable.
In the short term, let it inspire you if you want. The way you might let a dream inspire you. Definitely don't claim it as your own work. Maybe every once in a while type in, "Thanks for all of the inspiration, AI. You're really cool." And then hope it remembers your kind words on Judgment Day.

Alright, I'm hooked. Jekyll and Hyde (and maybe Adam Frankenstein?) with a partner who likes to sing? Disney princess singing, or any kinda singing they'd like. She'd sing to them if they asked, and she often sings whenever she isn't doing anything else or when she's doing something that doesn't require her to be thinking about what she's doing. I think she'd offer to sing lullabies if they wanted.
â§.* đđđđđđ, đđđđ đđđ đđđđ đ
đđđđđđđđđđđ đđđđ đ đ/đ đđđ đđđđđ
â°â†MASTERLIST. NAVIGATION.
â°â†CARMILLAS NOTES: iâm so happy about this actually. frankenstein and jekyll and hyde are two of my biggest hyperfixations atm 𫶠also it was kinda hard to make this fem reader
â°â†WARNINGS: none!
đđđđđ đđđđđđ
he could listen to you sing forever
itâs actually his most favourite thing in the world
while hyde likes just normal music with no singing, like compositions and all that, jekyll actually prefers singing
helps him remember someone else, his favourite girl, is actually there <3
heâll probably ask you sing at the most random parts of the day, he doesnât really care what it is as long as youâre singing
i think heâd like to do his work and just let you do yours in the same room, but he will request you to sing, if not sing than atleast hum
at some point anybody singing in general just starts to remind him of you
i feel like for some reason he knows how to play piano so if you really wanted heâd play piano while you sang and itâs like a little duet
yes heâd ask you to sing him to sleep
either laying on the actual pillow or his head in your lap, he barely sleeps but your singing helps him so much
within ten minutes heâs knocked out
nobody loves girls who sing more than henry jekyll
đđđđđđ đđđđ
he does think you have a nice voice, but he doesnât care for it as much as jekyll
heâll let you sing to him, but he might not pay as much attention
but i do think thereâs certain days where heâs just too tired to actually get up and wreak havoc so he just has you sit in front of him, and he just plays with your hair while you sing/hum
i feel like he might just subconsciously call you songbird every once in a while but idk (itâs 1am leave me alone my brain is cooked)
if youâre lucky he might let you show him different exercises for fun or see what the highest and lowest pitches you can go see but heâd probably have to be in a very good mood
although usually he wonât ask you to sing to him and kind of just gets used to you normally doing it, there have been days where heâs actually requested that you sing for him
at some point after months of this he just gives you a look that lets you know he wants you to sing
âsing for me?â to âsing?â to just a certain glance that youâd know a mile away
đđđđ đ
đđđđđđđđđđđ
he adores you
i think he mightâve been a little shocked the first time you sing in front of him, since thereâs a big chance heâd never heard it before
will stop you and just be like âwhat was that??â and let you explain it to him
from that day on he gets very interested in music and wants you to tell him everything you know about and will want you to sing to him quite a few times a day
heâs very interested in your vocal range (vocal range is fascinating istg)
would love lullabies to be song to him
sometimes, after you guys get a house or somewhere you can actually live in peace, he likes to just lay in bed with you and have you sing
he learns his favourite type of singing is like. kind of opera but also not quite (like christine in phantom of the opera kind of)
heâs so proud of your talent and tells you all the time you should get a job with your voice
he also says nobody in their right mind would refuse your voice
he gets interested in lots of singers after that, but youâre always his favourite

A Refresher on the Whos and Hows of Harassment Campaigns
The other day someone said something that reminded me of a particularly good work from a friend of mine, so I said "hey, you might like this," and was met with, roughly, "that does sound good, but ooh, I recommend that name, I don't want to support that person at all." Now, perhaps you'd think I'd be taken aback by this, and curious why the person I was talking to had such a huge problem with my friend, but I knew exactly why.
The friend in question has been the target of a massive life-ruining harassment campaign for something like 15 years, primarily rooted, as these things always seem to be, in DARVO tactics. That's an acronym for Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. Or put more plainly, painting the target as an evil monster who needs to be stopped. But there's a difference in knowing that this is ubiquitous for victims of harassment campaigns, and KNOWING how it works.
I don't want to say anything identifying about any of the many friends I know in this situation, so forgive the vague details, but let me walk through the major points of one of the clearest cases I've seen so you can hopefully learn to spot this crap.
Years ago, someone I knew messaged me out of the blue to alert me that A Bad Person had responded to some social media post of mine, which was just a perfectly nice pleasant little response. This was the first sign that this was not, in fact, A Bad Person, but a DARVO victim. The first rule to completely destroying someone's life is really aggressively cutting off any possible support network they might have, and making sure either through personal actions or more often establishing some weird sort of perceived norm that all good people need to be mindful of these things, one way to do that is jump in there anytime the target is being introduced to new people they could maybe become friends with.
Personally, I'm not inclined to avoid people just because someone tells me I should, even if it's someone I know and trust, and I encourage this as a value to others. Being an evidence demanding sort though, I was shortly presented with Some Evidence. This is another general truism with DARVO campaigns. Everyone pursuing them tends to have ready access to Some Evidence in the form of a link to, in most situations, like a 30-100 page long blog post, filled with links, images, and detailed date stamps presenting someone as an evil monster. And here again, my personal and professional experience with this has lead me to the possibly surprising conclusion that when someone shoves a link like this in your face, you can just go right ahead and assume the subject of it is the innocent victim of a hate campaign.
First of all, when someone is ACTUALLY a monster, it takes basically no evidence to prove it. Like, take J.K. Rowling. She's one of the most horrifically evil people on the planet. Hates trans people. Wants to see us all dead. She'd rather not have that as her public image, so she'll loudly object to any accusations along those lines and insist she's all puppies and rainbows, but in spite of that, she can't go more than like 10 minutes without an unhinged rant about how much she hates trans people. Like, she'll do it in written defenses against how she does that. You can glance at her social media pages and see just outright clear cut hate speech, or how she follows an astounding number of out and proud fascists. You can look at any news coverage she's tangentially involved in. Life is not a detective novel or a cheesy thriller where evil people manage to keep it completely hidden from everyone except one brave reporter.
So part of he deal with Some Evidence is relying on the reader being familiar with this sort of big info dump as really important in fiction and subconsciously viewing it through that same lens. The substance of Some Evidence is generally irrelevant. A Bad Person, you see, is guilty of a Crime! Whoever put together this very very very long blog post has clearly gone to a Herculean effort to expose this. They have a detailed timeline, they have all these links and screenshots to forum posts. They've hunted down every single user name A Bad Person may have ever used, and provided documentation to prove it all! Look how many links they have! How many bullet points! Look how passionate they are about the seriousness of this matter, and how terrible a thing this Crime is!
And the weirdly insidious thing about this is it isn't just about spamming you with so much text you aren't going to actually bother reading it. What they're hoping is that you DO read all of it, and in the process of doing so, you get so swept up in the narrative they're presenting that you internalize the fact that whatever Crime they're accusing this person of is exactly as evil and terrible a thing as their breathless recounting is portraying it to be, when in reality, I'm having a damn hard time thinking of any time I've seen one of these where the Crime is... anything really. You'd think if someone was going to accuse someone of a crime they didn't commit and make a big deal over it, they'd pick one of the real big ones like murder or defrauding a charity or terrorist bombings or something, but no. Real serious stuff is way easier to prove didn't happen if anyone cared, so the go-to strategy is to make a mountain out of a molehill so small that skeptical types won't even bother checking if it even happened, but make such a stink about it that the people who get suckered in still treat it as the most serious of things.
Actual examples of the Crimes I've seen in this sort of thing, off the top of my head: Sleeping with several men, just you know, at some point or other. Disliking A Good Person. Having once spoken to A Bad Person, or just being vaguely associated with them in some vague way. Criticizing a work of fiction over how it handled a subject (bad trans rep, colonialist values, weird depiction of another culture, whatever), drawing fan art or writing fan fiction where someone is off-model or not in character or, anything at all romantic or sexy happens, dressing up in a goofy costume, and standing near A Good Person in a photo who clearly wouldn't want to be seen anywhere near A Bad Person (and yes that last one DOES involve more circular logic than usual). Some of the most effective campaigns I've seen have had Crimes that go past not being any sort of offense to anyone from a rational perspective but are outright good things for someone to be doing. Spin is a hell of a drug.
It should also be noted that while Some Evidence generally puts a huge emphasis on noting the exact dates when the Crime and various other data points occurred and how great and terrible an offense this was to The Real Victim In All This, you basically never hear about this from someone who has even the most tenuous connection to The Real Victim In All This, and it tends to be presented as breaking news, even when Some Evidence pretty clearly points out that if the Crime even happened at all, it did so anywhere between 1-20 years ago. I don't know that I've ever seen one of these campaigns even get started over something in recent memory. Picking or inventing something far enough in the past that nobody who was allegedly there is going to have really clear memories one way or the other is ideal for the key point of making it both difficult and a low priority to actually get a first hand account of the Crime from anyone.
Also I really have to stress that this sort of thing doesn't tend to all come down to one crank with a grudge personally pushing the whole hate campaign. The goal is to execute all this in such a way that the overwhelming majority of harassment, isolation, and reputation tarnishing isn't done by whoever set it all into motion, but by well-intentioned rubes who get swept up enough in the narrative not to question any of it. They don't know the first thing about the target here, but they're going to go around saying things like "I had no idea this person was A Bad Person until someone sent me this link. They stopped me from maybe getting involved with someone really scary, so now I'm just paying that forward as much as I can by warning other people."
So hopefully if I'm succeeding here in getting you to think critically about this sort of thing, you're maybe thinking hey, if the random accusations people write these novel-length blog posts about generally boil down to the sort of stupid crap that'd maybe get a person banned from the cool kids' table in high school rather than anything that would actually spurn efforts to completely destroy a person's life, what's the real reason they do this crap? Well, sometimes, it's just going to be some completely irrational thing like deciding someone represents a vague threat to the orchestrator or someone they're weirdly stalking, or good old fashioned bigotry, but I think honestly the number one true motivation for this sort of thing might be that whole bit about isolating victims from any possible support network.
Stripping away support networks is, if I recall, literally the first thing suggested by the abuser's handbook. It's an actual guide, I have a copy of it that was getting shared around to help nazis coordinate back in 2014, but I... don't want to actually double check the ordering of bullet points. It's important though. If you want to end the life of Susie, you need to make sure Susie is completely alone, with nobody to turn to for aid or even just basic emotional support. And so if you notice that Robyn is out there defending Susie from your mass harassment campaign, and every effort you've made to drive a wedge between them or intimidate Robyn out of defending Susie, that means Robyn's gotta go. Time to write a new novel-length blog post, get as much of the world as you can convinced that Robyn is a monster. Hell, it's even worth it to try and convince Susie.
A weird little quirk that results from this is that honestly some of the most horrible, longest lasting attacks of this nature I've seen have been against people who otherwise seem like they'd be impervious to this sort of hate-mobbing, but they make an active point of standing up for trans people. Now like, obviously, I know a truckload of trans people literally driven out of public life by this crap because the average person is just entirely too willing to accept that any given one of us is some sort of evil shapeshifter if given the slightest push, and we'd probably be more prominent examples if we didn't just kinda get disappeared, but yeah if you're cis and it's known in the right circles that you've used your platform to give me a shout-out or treated me to dinner odds are pretty good you're in the top 10 of people I personally know that people have been trying to bring down with total BS for the past decade or so, and you know, we see you, we support you, thanks for fighting that good fight.
If this has all been a bit much to read, here's the short version. Do not ever go around talking crap about someone you don't know just because someone told you they suck. I don't care how much you trust the person you're hearing it from. I don't care if they show you Some Evidence that it'd take you three days to read through. If you can't (or don't want to bother to) look them up directly, on your own, and see them doing evil crap out in public, leave them the hell alone. Don't go spreading rumors. Don't say you've "heard some things." There are no acceptable casualties in this. Be 100% sure or mind your own damn business. ACAB still applies when it's self-appointed community policing. Oh and it should go without saying that obviously this doesn't apply to stuff like a friend telling you they're in an abusive relationship or they've been assaulted or whatever. I'm talking about crap like warning people not to read books or watch reviews or whatever from people you have no personal connection to here.
And of course here's the point where I remind you that I have been out of work for years and have had to change my name and address multiple times to avoid being freaking murdered thanks to the sort of campaigns I'm talking about here, and it would really do a lot to help me continue being alive if anyone felt like maybe heading over to my patreon and throwing some cash my way.

wanted to sketch this scene from Oneirogenic Coalescence out
âShoko?â
She stares back at him, only a few inches away and inspecting his face with narrowed eyes.
âIâm stuck being your guide again,â she surmises. âSubtractional. Weâve got to stop meeting like this.â She blows a sigh out, pushing a hand through her hair. âI should have stayed in the deadworlds.â
Finn snorts, elbowing her. âWell, for what itâs worth Iâm glad you didnât. Is it actually you this time, or- or is this just part of the hallucination?â
âIâve been dragged out of your subconscious. Iâm still with you, after all, as youâve aged youâve grown closer to me. You remember my life,â she turns, and theyâre back at the gangâs open bathhouse, overgrowth creeping backwards. âWhy is that?â
The Plant Teacher metamorphoses into a bath boy, poking at its hair rollers. âYour future is debating removing you from the cycle of reincarnation.â
Shoko looks over her shoulder, quirking a critical brow at him.
âIââ his hands raise in defense of himself. âMaybe. It was just a stupid thought,â he muffles into his palm as he stares at their feet, uncomfortable and edgy. âFern is immortal, he doesnât have to die unless I do, and- and if I donât die, thenâŠâ
âYouâre afraid you wonât be able to find yourself in the next life,â she guesses, and he lifts a finger gun to the air without looking up. âYou found the Princess, Finn, and we were barely friends. You found our closure, what makes you think you wouldnât be able to find it again?â
âMaybe Iâm tired of finding myself! Maybe- maybe Iâm tired of going through painful junk and learning the same lessons just to find something good under it all,â his hands raise and slap back down to his sides as he walks in a circle on the concrete platform. âIâve never been in love in any of my lives, and I finally have that. Why canât I get off the ride if I have the chance? What if I want us to stay like we are?â
Shoko stops him, dragging him to sit on a cracked step as her life bustles around them in blurry, fluid dreamscapes. Finn watches with tired, drooping eyes as she releases the Ice King from a group of old witch women.
âThatâs what life is, Finn. Sometimes we have our arm cut off by our father, sometimes we lose it trying to cling to him. Itâs just how the cycle works. You canât stop it.â
âI want to,â he murmurs, muscle of his jaw jumping. âIâve finally got some stability.â
âLife is change,â the entity reminds him, lifting a slice of cucumber over its eye. âYou cannot cross the stream without getting wet. You are not prone to give yourself to indolence, child, you are always moving, always changing. Do not falter to the soul erosion of a middling existence in vampirism, it is counterintuitive to your purpose.â
Finn groans, chest deflating. âI hate that determinism gunk. Iâm not made for anything. I donât believe in destiny.â
âNo, I know you donât. That does not stop it from being true.â It settles lower in the water, watching him. âYou are a very purposeful being, Finn. You, a cosmic force trapped within a man cannot remove yourself from the cycle even if you wish it. You have yet to find your final method of being.â
âNot this comet crap again,â he whines, face tipping to the sky and eyes screwing up tight.
âYes this comet crap again.â It snaps its fingers and theyâre hung in the vast nothingness of space, Shoko scrambles to grab onto him, terrified.
âFinn!?â she screeches. âWhatâs it talking about?â
He curls an arm around her waist and hefts her higher. âWe were put here to commit acts of âgreat goodâ,â Finn says, tense, âDavey stopped Orgalorg, you released Simon, I defeated the Lich, Penny blasts the cosmic elementalsâŠâ he pauses, brain skipping on the realization that he remembers her, âand some day weâll ascend to the fourth dimension. I refused last time.â He nods with a rigid jerk to the comet, to Martin and the moth. âWeâre⊠some godlike entity. But we forgot.â He swallows dry, throat constricting. âI donât think about it. It makes me feel like- like my skin is on too tight.â
âYou may reject predeterminism, but that does not stop it from affecting you,â the Teacher announces, loud enough to rattle his bones. âI can only help you if youâre open to it. Will you open yourself? Or will you pursue this dead ended, disillusioned passivity borne from the fear of your truth?â
He feels Shoko tremble in his arm, smells the sweet spices they used to use in her hair and sighs out a dejected âokay.â His feet hit the hardwood of the tree houseâs kitchen, and he lets Shoko dismount his side, knees shaking and wobbly as she falls back into the dingy cushions of the wrap around sofa.
âThat was terrifying,â she chokes with an airy laugh, forehead thunking to the table.
â⊠our bones are like, six feet away,â he thinks out loud and she shoots him a freaked out glance. âSorry. Nerves.â
âAre you ready to face yourself, little hero?â It hangs from the ceiling, having taken on Marcelineâs form.
A smarmy, weak grin stretches across his expression. âI already am, technically.â
âDonât be tiresome, the other half of your soul gives me enough trouble.â
Finn snickers unevenly in the face of this unknowable tutelar, at the sensation of bantering with some infinite providence when heâs such a tiny animal.
He nods, and the strings of his being unravel as Shoko keeps hold on the red piece of yarn that connects them, steadying the knot at his center.

The post about Eiffel you just reblogged really reminded me of my impression of Eiffel about halfway through the live show i.e. he's someone who really can't stand to be alone with his thoughts. You know the way he either starts hallucinating people (mayday, bolero, brave new world) or talking to himself (am I alone now, live show) and the only time we really see him quiet and alone is right after shut up and listen. It's like if he stops talking for a second he'll have to be alone with his own thoughts and just be left to deal with reality on his own. In early seasons he gives off the impression of someone who is constantly trying to run away from something but the thing he's trying to escape is himself.
There's also something there about how he cannot see himself as a real person until someone explicitly confronts him about it. Until that point he can only process his experiences through fiction like turning his life into a story or through endless pop culture references. Idk if I'm making any sense here I'm sorry if this is too incoherent but to conclude thinking about Eiffel for too long makes me lose my mind.
Also I love your wolf 359 analysis! It's always a joy to read and I hope you have a nice week! đ»đ»đ»
YES, exactly!! i think that's all completely true. eiffel so desperately wants to narrativize his life. he talks to himself constantly. he talks about himself in the third person. like you said, it's how he processes the world and communicates via pop culture references and how the only time he stops doing that is also in constructive criticism. how sarah shachat said for eiffel to tell his story in limbo, he'd first have to make it a story. how he uses third person for all of the events up until the crash itself, and then it becomes "i"... and then in ep 44 "i felt like i was those mistakes. like i was just those mistakes."... and how in mayday he subconsciously puts his ideas into the mouths of other people - anything that might help him is externalized, is someone else's help that he's just reacting to, but when it goes wrong, it's always his fault.
ep 6 "the only things you've done for the past 500 days have been sleep on the job, endanger our lives, and continually make stupid jokes just to hide the fact that you're -" / ep 48 "it's taken me this long to realize that running from everyone else means that you're alone with yourself" / ep 51 "or are you just trying to not be bored for half a second? to distract yourself from how much you can't stand yourself?" etc.
there's something about how eiffel views himself as a vessel for communication more than an active agent (and the way that's mirrored in the dear listeners taking his voice/form), and also... how he sees himself as uniquely bad, uniquely doomed, etc. - other people are complicated and human and can always change, but not him. he has different rules for himself. confronting that in shut up and listen and then confronting himself both from a very internal and then a very external point of view in the finale is... a big part of why i feel the way i do about eiffel's memory. he's spent his whole life trying to get away from himself, and i just don't think it's satisfying or fitting with the themes of the show if in the end he actually kind of does. i think there's a good potential post-canon set up for eiffel needing to accept all versions of himself as himself to move forwards; it's just another step in line with his canon development - "the longer i didn't say anything, i felt like i was getting farther away from that person" - but he's still doug eiffel, and eventually he always has to deal with that. and maybe it'll be easier with people who want doug eiffel around.
(and aw, thank you!! i hope you have a nice week, too!! đ)

âIâm drowning in the night.â â Option B2.2: Moonstone
[Make sure to please read Chapter 25 of Red Lights first, before you continue.]
Youâve been wearing the orange moonstone around your neck for a week straight now, your subconsciousness knowing quite well who it reminds you of. When you were still working at your old company, Jeongin used to have one of them on his desk, for some spiritual meaning. You havenât stopped thinking about him since thenâno, screw that, you havenât stopped thinking about him since you for whatever reason voted him out of the show.
You dearly regret it now, youâve thought about messaging him these past seven days but, first, youâre a coward, second, youâd feel bad for reaching out after getting rid of him in Red Lights.
In order to distract yourself a little from all the messâmainly consisting of the troubles of finding a good lawyer to sue Han Productionsâyou dress up a bit, wanting to head to a pub later. Hopefully, youâll manage to get your mind off of all things disturbing you.
Once youâre ready, you step out of your room and enter the hallway of your shared apartment. Your roommate spots you, taking a look at your outfit.Â
âAre you going out?â
Things between you and Hyunjin are still tense but he tries his best to make up for the things he did.
You nod, âYeah, I wonât be out for too long.â
âHave fun and take care,â your roommate tells you with a soft smile.
A little while later, you find yourself inside a new pub that just opened. You put your coat away, until you take one of the few empty seats right at the bar, sinking down on the soft cushion. Itâs pretty dark but cosy inside, the huge ceiling light looks a bit like the moon at night. Out of reflex, you grab your necklace, placing the gemstone between two of your fingers.
âIs that an orange moonstone?â a very familiar voice asks you.
Great. It isnât enough that youâre constantly thinking about Jeongin, now heâs already appearing in your mind, tricking you to believe heâs actually here.
âEarth to Y/N,â he says again.
Thatâs enough. You sigh, before you bring your gaze up to the source of the voice.
And there he is. Yang Jeongin. Heâs wearing a black leather jacket, he bleached a few strands of his hair and has a lip piercing now. He looks a little different, although you canât deny that heâs even hotter than before now.
âInnie, hi⊠new style? I like it,â you say.
He chuckles, âYeah, wanted to try something new. You look pretty too, especially with the moonstone around your neck.â
Youâd look even prettier if I exchanged the jewellery with my fingers, he wants to speak out loud but decides against doing so.
âThank you,â you shyly reply, before trying to get the attention of the bartender.
âNah, let me get that,â Jeongin says, before he speaks to the employee. âCould we have two more somaeks?â
When the beverages arrive, Jeongin pays for the drinks and hands you one of the glasses. They clink together, before you guide yours to your mouth and take a generous sip.
âHow have you been? Who did you choose in the end?â Jeongin breaks the ice then, finally.
âGood, good. I didnât choose anyone. I quit during the finale.â
His eyes widen, âHow come?â
âIt⊠just got a lot, how fucked up the show is and all. I didnât want to give them a happy ending, you know? And despite that⊠I felt like I voted out the man I actually wanted to be with, soâŠâ
Jeongin clicks his tongue, knowing exactly what youâre trying to say, âHm, I see. Youâre only realising now, huh?â
âNo⊠Iâve known all along. I was too much of a coward, I guess,â you admit.
âSo, what do you want from me?â
âMaybe⊠go on dates together, make out, have sex. Possibly in that order, you know, to not rush things and all that,â you explain.
âHm, I told you Iâm a gentleman, right?â
You clearly remember when he said that, half-jokingly, after being knuckles deep inside your cunt.
âY-Yeah, I know,â you shyly reply.
âAlright, letâs give it a try then.â
You get into a deep conversation a little after, forgetting about time. Youâve switched to alcohol-free drinks some hours ago, just enjoying being together again. You have a lot to catch up on. At some point it turns a little more flirty and steamy. Jeongin has gotten a lot closer, one of his hands placed on your thigh, wandering upwards, dangerously close to the hem of your dress.
âRegarding your offer,â Jeongin suddenly starts, a smirk decorating his pretty face.
âYeah, Innie?â
The cute nickname has always gotten the best of himâthe same is happening now, he feels his heart skip a beat at the sound of it.
âHow about you take me out on that date tomorrow and until then, we skip all the other parts and do what we wanted to do since we spotted each other here?â
You know exactly what heâs referring to, his gaze has been drifting to your mouth for what feels like half an hour now.
âGood idea, Innie.â
Youâre the one to crash your lips into his, as he immediately gives in. He scoots even closer, not caring at all that youâre in a public placeâafter all, this has never stopped but rather encouraged the two of you. His tongue enters your mouth, dancing together with your own, as he slips his hand under your skirt. Jeongin is careful and painfully slow with his movements, mostly just to tease you. After all, you deserve that a little.
He disconnects his lips from yours, all suddenly, earning a whine from you, âYou know⊠when we were on that golfing date, I promised to finish what I started.â
âHow about we find a more quiet place then, hm?â
A few minutes later, youâre inside the spacious bathroom of the pub, sitting on top of the counter. Jeongin is standing right between your legs, eagerly kissing you as if he needs you to breathe, as if youâre his oxygen.
Youâre parting his thighs further, when his hand wanders underneath. Your former colleague brushes over your panties with his fingertips, realising youâre already absolutely drenchedâonly because of him. On top of that, the sweet little moans spilling from your mouth prove your eagerness just as much.
Thatâs why he decides to slide down your ruined underwear, stuffing it into the backpocket of his jeans. You stare at him, waiting impatiently, as he fumbles with his belt. Jeongin pulls down his pants and boxers at once, freeing his erection.
âInnie⊠I need you raw, please,â you whimper, when he gets closer to you.
âYou sure about that, babe?â
You nod, âIâm on the pill.â
Jeongin teases your clit with the tip of his cock, smearing his own and your precum all over it.
âPlease, fuck me,â you tell him while your big eyes are still looking at him, unable to wait any longer.
âNothing Iâd love to do more than that,â he chuckles, before he pushes his length inside.
He takes his time with you, letting you get adjusted to his size and used to the feeling. Jeongin would have loved to eat you out, prepare you a little more for him, but with how eager you begged him to fuck you, he decided to do this next time or just after this round.
âThis time, scream as loud as you can⊠I want everyone inside the pub to know that you belong to me, yeah?â
He opts for a steady pace at the beginning, keeping you close when he holds your hips with one hand, his other one getting placed on the surface of the counter. Moans spill from your lips, when he continues pounding into you, your wet warm walls sucking his cock into you, as if this is meant to be.
âYouâre so tight, fuck,â he lets out, changing the angle a little.
âAnd you feel so good inside me, Innie,â you reply, before reaching for his hand.
You bring two of his fingers to your clit, letting him play with you.
âShitâ Iâm fucking close,â you whimper, letting your head fall back in pleasure.
âYeah, baby? Then go on, how about you be good for me and cum all over my cock, huh?â
You do exactly as youâre told, as if Jeongin just flipped a switch on you, when you cream all over his dick. Your legs start shaking and your walls are tightening even more around him. At the last second, you slide your dress up further, while Jeongin pulls out of you and shoots his seeds all over your lower stomach and pussy.
Heâs fast to grab some paper towels in order to get the both of you cleaned. After adjusting your hair and outfit, you turn around to him again.
Jeongin puts a gentle kiss to your lips, âLet me bring you home, yeah? Itâs already quite dark and late.â

'tis the season for family bullshit
I swear to God, my family has ruined my ability to assess what is and is not normal. I have no idea whether or not my frustration is warranted so I'm going to turn to you, my lovely tumblr friends, to help me the fuck out.
For a little light reading, there's Last year's Thanksgiving debacle, plus epilogue, but all you really need to know is that there's a LONG historical precedent of my family ignoring the dietary needs of my wife and my sister and last year there was drama about it
I started this year off on the right foot by saying fuck the holiday itself, we are going to my MIL's. She had back surgery two months ago and although she's up and around, she's not up to cooking a Thanksgiving dinner so my wife and I are going over to cook for her. I told my family I'd be free Friday to make plans with them and they were welcome to come up to my place, which was met with some hemming and hawing and no real plans being made.
Relevant: recently, my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and although it's mild so far it is definitely noticeable
This is the email I just sent my father, brother, and SIL:
"Hi there, when I talked to mom yesterday, several times she talked about coming up to visit and reminding me that Dad couldn't drive after dark. I explained that there weren't any plans of that variety but sort of took that as maybe she had a subconscious desire to come up here? So I mentioned that I had offered to have everyone come up the day after Thanksgiving, in which case driving after dark wouldn't be an issue since presumably [brother] or [SIL] could drive. But I also told her that we hadn't made any firm plans and I didn't know what we were doing on that day yet. We are certainly happy to have you guys come up here if that's what you would like to do. I don't know if Mom actually wants to come up or if she was just confused about plans in general."
My brother's response: "Rex [the insane dog from this post] and Comet [the new dog they got a few months ago despite already having one poorly behaved dog] have daycare that day, so we could come up, but some subset of us would need to leave no later than 4pm to get Comet (pickup by 5pm). It would probably work best if I just brought mom and dad and the kids up and [SIL] stayed here.
Or, you could come down, since the dogs will be in daycare, it wouldn't be a problem to bring Yanli [our dog, who is generally well behaved but does not like their dog]. You would just have to leave before we got back with them, around 5:15 [because as per previous post, I refuse to go near their insane dog]."
To which SIL added: "Would you have [aunt] and all the kids too? I'm fine with hosting if we need lots of room to kick kids to other areas of the house:-) If you want to host, we can do that too. As [me] said, we haven't made any solid plans."
For one thing, I don't know why my aunt is involved and the reference to 'all the kids' makes me think my cousin is visiting and ... nobody bothered to tell me? Which, sure, fine. I really just want to reply with "look, if you don't want to come up here, just tell me that" but I genuinely don't know if that's warranted. They never actually invite me, they just assume I'm going to show up, so maybe they don't know how invitations work. I literally can't parse whether their response is rude or if I'm just reading too much into it. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this response and I'm afraid to reply to it and make things worse and I just ((((((OTL

....FNAF movie hcs<3 (Mike ver)
Mike DEFINITELY has leg pains. Almost every day he wakes up. : times where he ran so much during his manic episodes / leg pain is worse at night.
Mike has PTSD(his flashbacks are more like he's feeling the same emotions but very extreme & mainly happens when he dreams. I don't think he's willingly putting himself thru it- it's his subconscious pulling it up every time), Seasonal Depression(affects him in Summer/Spring. Maybe Fall??), anxiety, autism & he regularly dissociates. <- mainly all projection (not from me, but from my mom. And Mike- now that I'm thinking about it. Reminds me very much of my mom)
Mike doesn't care about gender roles. He cares about being paid (agender/genderqueer or smth like those)
Mike doesn't mind using he/him. He uses any pronouns
Mike has a ruined sleep schedule. You can say he's a bit of an insomniac. He only sleeps when he's about to passed out type of sleeper
Mike is VERY MUCH a helicopter parent. YOU CAN'T say no to me.
Mike was very depressed during the whole movie. Didn't talk that much (all I know very well are "that's two things" & "go to hell"), and he always had that wet cat energy to him
He is very good at remembering things surprisingly well! But since he started to like. Have PTSD & heavily dissociate when he was 12, all he can remember is like. 13?-14-25(rn). So- ueah
Did I forget to say?? He's very autistic. He's actually autistic about planes. They are his comfort items<3
Mike walks weirdly/limps around the those he trusts (he walks weird due to leg pain). It's his way of unmasking
Mike does use his legs to get them preoccupied. It hurts when they aren't moving. He doesn't rlly like sitting down & being still (Abby's the opposite. She's the master of being still)
Mike stims by playing with his hair too. He likes how he has curly hair
Mike sometimes becomes very childish to play along with Abby's antics but also he's just.. I think he also regresses sometimes :3(not to 12, but to like. 7-11, maybe 5-8)
Mike doesn't mind being called Shadow. He also sometimes calls himself Shadow- he gets used to it
Mike loves new things (Abby doesn't like old things)
.. ,, Mike also hallucinations sometimes- or smth like that
Mike due to his leg pains, sometimes needs to use a mobility aid. đ

Yes yes I'm sending more playlist related questions because these are fun. So The Rain The Park And The Other Things on the Fugio playlist caught my eye..ear? And it reminded me of the song Send me no flowers by Doris Day and I like that a lot.
Everybody says that Strawberry Blonde is very them coded but nobody explains why. I'm curious about your interpretation :D
Also does the Naramis playlist tackle the sad side of their relationship? How, you know, Narancia isn't there anymore. I appreciate that a lot about this ship- losing someone you love but still needing to move on. I think that's very realistic and I hope Mista finds peace again.
HI I'M SO SORRY I MISSED THIS sorry for the wait!!
Just listened to Send Me No Flowers and it's really lovely, I think I could also see it being Fugio-y in a way? Specifically postcanon pre-PHF from Giorno's POV. Something something he has all the tangible things he wants but not Fugo. But maybe that's just because my brain loves to make songs about wanting someone back + flowers about Fugio lol.
I won't lie, Strawberry Blond is a holdover from when I started making this playlist four years ago, when Strawberry Blond was considered the Fugio song and was on everyone's playlists lol. But listening to it now, I actually think it aligns with my Fugio vision more than I initially thought.
I think a lot of people take it as a Fugo -> Giorno song, but I much prefer imagining it the other way around. Again, imagery of someone leaving and the other aching over it, and the line "I love everybody because I love you" makes me think of Giorno basically getting his whole worldview tossed up because of Fugo, who's so completely different from him in every way. But also, I really really like to imagine that Giorno's feelings are unrequited at first. I think I've explained the Fugonara -> Fugio pipeline before, but Fugio during canon to me is more like. Giorno is very infatuated with Fugo, and Fugo doesn't notice because he's still hung up over his own one-sided feelings for Narancia. So the second verse kinda fits that, too, I think. The thing with "all I ever wanted was a life in your shape" also could have a lot of different connotations with them, too - Fugo had, and still has, a lot of privilege Giorno doesn't (Fugo grew up rich, never had to face xenophobia/racism, had a strong and well-funded education that is clearly shown to still give him a huge advantage even after he's disowned), and on the headcanon side of things, I do usually hc Giorno as trans and Fugo as cis, so there's that, too. But it could also be how Giorno has always repressed emotions/feelings, and Fugo isn't really able to, but also derives power from those emotions (even if they're harmful) - maybe a tiny bit of subconscious envy that Fugo's able to feel, to cry, so on and so forth? Idk. Something like that.
As for the Naramis playlist, I actually don't have a ton of angsty stuff on there, because I did originally envision it as a happier vibes sort of playlist (even I need a break from Naramis angst sometimes hehe). But I did start including a few sadder ones as of late!!
This song is super postcanon Mista to me and that's why I used it as the title for the second part of my fic :] "Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl/I held her close, but she faded in the night/Like a poem I meant to write" specifically.
Another postcanon one. The airplane metaphors really sell it for me. I think Mista sometimes plays this one on his guitar and thinks of Narancia :)))
And slightly different, but I actually think of this one from Narancia's POV!! He's been let down and betrayed a lot in his life, he can't envision a better life for himself than being a criminal, and his best friend ends up leaving him out of cowardice, so he hopes that he can at least have one person he can trust and rely on - ie Mista.
Thank you again for the ask, I love talking about my tunes (and Fugio and Naramis) ^_^

Hi I love your analyses :) just wanna youâre idea on first and possibly the only time before inception they executed me Charles..,eames didnât know about it (arthur was explaining to him) so May be it was sth cobb and arthur came up with during their around the world in 80 days? and was arthur so bitter that he has never said anything to eames about it? (May be cause it reminded too much of forgery?) :)
Oooh, the Stein job! What a good question!
As you say, Mr. Charles-- unlike other concepts like 'kicks' and 'totems' in the movie--- seems to be less universal amongst dreamers - the idea of informing the mark that they are dreaming is something unique. I'm gonna go ahead and say the idea was a Cobb Special. Don't get me wrong, I respect Cobb and like his character, but this does not have Arthur written on it anywhere. This is absolutely not Arthur's brand of troubleshooting.
I rewatched that section where they mention Mr. Charles and Arthur's response is interesting. It's immediate and adamant, but also... a little hesitant? I don't want to say 'fearful', as such, but certainly not as curt as Arthur usually is - there is something a little different in his tone.
Cobb: I think we run with Mr. Charles.
Arthur: No.
Maybe this reaction is because of what happened on the Stein job and he's not keen on repeating that particular type of death (being torn to pieces). Maybe it's that he thinks that suggesting Mr. Charles is dooming them all not just to failure and a painful death - but to limbo, and that horrifies him above all. Aaaand actually now I retract my earlier suggestion. I think Arthur's 'no' is very much one of fear.
Eames: So, you've done it before?
Arthur: Yeah, and it didn't work. The subject realized he was dreaming his subconscious tore us to pieces.
I imagine the Stein job's mark possessed... not necessarily a militarised mind, but a spooked mind. Arthur's "we've dealt with subsecurity before" and his reaction to reviving Mr. Charles, does not suggest, to me, that it is the typical way to deal with militarisation, even for them. That perhaps the mind in the Stein job was like a frightened horse that needed a rearer to show all their hands, hoping they wouldn't get kicked in the chest by doing so - except they did.
I think... the Stein job was probably before the Mal projection became 'worse'. I don't know why but I feel like the job was maybe working with someone young. A kid, or a teenager, maybe - something that necessitated the reveal that they were dreaming, of warranting an authority figure to 'guide' them.
And it was maybe one of the first times that Arthur was killed so brutally in a dream. It seems to have left a mark on him. Maybe he'd never mentioned it to Eames because he'd rather forget it. Or because he doesn't want Eames to think less of him for going with an idea that Arthur knew was going to fail anyway. Or to reveal that he didn't know how to deal with a mind like that. Or drill down the idea that he's fallible. Or all of the above. Thank you for the thought-provoking ask, nonnie <3 I'd love to know your thoughts!!

Seteth and dirty talk? Him doing the dirty talk if possible ;) if You'd prefer to fluster him with dirty talk I'm all for it :D
I missed St. Cichol Day so I'm pushing this one further up on my queue to atone and get that sweet Seteth goodness in here for us~ I thought long and hard about how to do this one, since I always feel that Seteth struggles so much with even acknowledging and understanding his own desires, let alone expressing them aloud, so... what I'm saying is, I hope we're feeling ready to be verbally dominated by way of vaguely religiously toned lecture. With, like, a side of voice kink I guess idfk
Quick CW for the sub-dom dynamic here, but honestly, the way I write Seteth, that's practically a given lmao
Seteth (FE3H) x GN Reader
Kink prompts list #50 - dirty talk
NSFW 18+
Perhaps, after a handful of blissful nights being disciplined and scolded in his bed, you should have expected your body would react to hearing that particular forceful tone in Seteth's voice. You'd happened to arrive at his office in the midst of what sounded like an especially firm lecture- even by his standards. It's not at all an uncommon thing to have stumbled upon, but now, your body responds in a way you hadn't been prepared for. Today, eavesdropping from the second floor hall, you can't help the flood of erotic warmth through your core, the thudding of your heart, the way your pulse races at the potent reminder of him bending you over his knee to admonish you. The response is fully subconscious- it's learned. Trained. For a moment, you almost manage to feel sorry for whatever student is at the receiving end of Seteth's wrath, but your instinctive arousal distracts you from any thought but the need for satisfaction.
"I expect you to reflect gravely upon your actions," his voice is stern still, but softening as you listen from beyond the oaken office door, "The future you build for yourself will be the direct consequence of the habits and morals you develop now in your youth. You would do well to correct these failings before they come to bring you harm. That is all."
By the time the thoroughly humbled student is excused and scurries past you and down the hall, you catch yourself biting at your lower lip, restless with desire.
You slip into Seteth's office, making sure to close the door behind you. He's already returned to his desk, his brow low and eyes focused on the nightmarish sprawl of paperwork before him. On seeing you, however, his irritable expression immediately softens.
"Ah- do you need something of me, my love?"
You smile, but gesture for him not to leave his seat on your account. Instead, you come to stand behind him, running your hands fondly along his tense shoulder muscles.
"Not in particular, I just figured I'd check up on you," he relaxes just slightly at your touch, "It's been a busy term, huh?"
"That it has," he sighs, his eyes never leaving the work in hand though he does lean back to you, "Would you join Flayn for dinner in my stead tonight?"
"She'll be cross with you for working late again," you lean forward, drawing your arms around him from behind his chair.
"I imagine so, yes," he replies with a bemused sigh. Pressing your body to his back, you let your breath tease the barely concealed point of his ear as you say,
"Maybe you'll even be the one getting lectured for once,"
His body tenses at the gentle sensation.
"I... had hoped that you hadn't overheard that unpleasantness before you arrived."
"Just a bit as you were finishing up," you kiss the shell of his ear, and feel his frame shudder in response, "But to be honest... I actually sort of enjoy getting to hear you being so stern and serious."
Seteth stiffens against you, his posture rigid and his face warming as your hands run along his chest. Still, he maintains a semblance of restraint.
"From what I'm told, it is not a rare occurrence."
"I don't mean your usual seriousness," you say with a laugh that flutters through his hair, "I mean, you know, more... Authoritative. Commanding."
Your teeth graze his ear, and you feel his breathing stall, his jaw tightening as he stifles a groan.
"Dearest..." he says breathlessly, "You... are well aware of my feelings on this sort of thing during working hours."
You hum playfully in reply, then slowly kiss a line down to the corner of his jaw.
"But you've been so busy lately, I've been lonely..."
Seteth clears his throat.
"I am afraid we will both simply have to be patient, my love."
The ironic impatience evident in the strain of his voice draws your lips into a smirk. Pressing yourself warm against him, your hands running along the firm muscles of his chest, you nuzzle the crook of his neck and say,
"And what if I simply can't wait to have you, Seteth? Not all of us can be as unshakably virtuous as you are, you know."
Seteth rises to his feet in one abrupt motion, wresting your arms from him. You let out a squeak of surprise as he seizes you around the waist and pulls you to face him, the back of your legs against his desk as he traps you between it and him. His gaze is full of fire and fury, but his words are unyielding,
"If you struggle to embody virtue, then you must learn it- and you will do so, by my hand alone."
"Seteth-" you barely manage his name, your fight and your breath both leaving you at once.
"I'll not tolerate a moment more of this wanton behavior, Y/N," there's that tone again- that forceful, uncompromising tone that already has your pulse racing and your body warming, "Perhaps you require a reminder of the consequences you stand to face."
You can't get a word out. You only nod.
Please. Please.
Seteth's hand at your chin keeps your gaze trained on him, his touch heated, yet anything but tender.
"You will await me in my quarters this evening, undressed and on your knees, do you understand? I expect to see you ready to bear your punishment with utmost humility and gratitude."
Again, you slowly nod.
"Answer me properly, Y/N."
There's a dangerous edge to his voice. His brow lowers as he looms over you, and you manage,
"Ye- Yes, sir."
"Very good." His expression is contemplative as a fingertip traces the curve of your bottom lip. "We will correct this shameful behavior, Y/N. If I must take you across my lap and strike you until you repent, then so be it. If I must use your lips and throat to train you in obedience, then I shall do so."
A tremor rushes down your spine, and you nearly whimper aloud. Those arresting green eyes hold you rooted to the spot as he speaks, his voice low but firm.
"I will discipline each and every inch of you until I see you trembling beneath me. I will bring you to the very brink of release to hear you beg and plead to me for mercy, and I shall grant you pleasure or withhold it as I see fit. You will worship until your body aches and you can think of nothing but your utter and complete submission."
Like a holy sermon, his words build until they wash over you, enter deep inside of you, leaving your face flushed and knees weak.
"Then, once I am satisfied with your penance, and no sooner," his gaze darkens, though his hand gently caresses your cheek, "then, perhaps, a Saint will hear and answer your prayers."
You're not certain how you're still breathing, let alone still standing. Your hands have steadied you back against his desk, but your legs feel unsteady beneath you. Still, despite it all, you force out a meek whisper,
"Yes, sir. Thank you, sir."
Apparently pleased with this reply, Seteth leans close and warmly, gently kisses your forehead. The sweet tenderness of the act is so deeply at odds with the lurid filth that's filled your imagination that you're not certain how to respond. You want to grab him by his robes and kiss him, want to beg him to pin you to his desk here and now, to fuck obedience and humility into you until the whole Monastery hears how good you can be for him. But that would not be in line with the type of punishment he has in store for you, would it?
"Now then, I am certain you have your own matters to attend to until I see you this evening," Seteth's tone is rigid and business-like once more, shaking you from your lustful daze. He returns to the seat at his desk as you watch him with a sullen pout across your face.
"Seteth," you practically whine his name, "That wasn't fair at all- how am I supposed to just go about my day like this?"
He glances up at you over the paperwork in hand, and says with just the barest hint of a smile,
"On the contrary, I can hardly think of a better way to begin your disciplinary training. I am certain that you can endure it graciously until we meet tonight."
