#mute runner five

[runner5ive]

I challenged myself to draw a city scape and thought early seasons zr for the vibe better 😌

[pixeldinostorytelling]

i desperately want to follow more runners 5 to see some zr on my dash but I’m horribly behind (just finished s3) and I don’t want to get spoiled on things :(

[drowsystarlight]

(Cough) I’m about to unleash ultimate brainrot so this is your only warning (Cough)

My favorite 5am dynamic is Really frustrated/worried operator Sam x Chaotic impulsive piece of shit Five and that they somehow work flawlessly with each other DESPITE countless bouts of:

“Runner Five—Five, you can’t go there. I don’t care if there’s more medpacks in there we have Enough” and Five finding a camera to squint and glare at before running towards the medpacks . Even if a horde is maybe two or three minutes away because They know they’ll make it in and out . And they only really listen to Sam if there’s really no other option but to take his options bc OTHERWISE they’re gonna use every second they can get

And then when Sam watches over another runner who actually does what he says, he’d be thinking “wow!! This is boring, isn’t it? Five has turned me into some thrill-seeking maniac!!” Despite all the close-call encounters even with that runner 😭😭

Another dynamic or idea I like is Sam understanding Five’s cues flawlessly because they’re so close?? Five would tap a song on the headset or hum it, and then Sam understands what the fuck they want or what they’re saying. They also have the same music taste so they can communicate with Song titles or Song lyrics . Like they’d be in a mission and the rhythmic taps on the headset come, then Sam just goes “Alright guys, that’s the signal to move along” “How do you know that??” “It’s the opening to the song Move Along by All American Rejects of course I know”

I read a fic where their Five whistles a song everyone knows the lyrics to so I got the idea from there, but my Five has niche favorite bands and maybe some unknown ones ?? My Five is selective mute so they could probably whisper-sing a song around someone they trust a lot (Sam, and eventually Maxine, and then gradually the Runners) but there’d be a time where Sam is the Only One who 100% understands everything because they apparently listened to the same bands . And those they didn’t, either Five tapped the tune or sang it to him . It’s so nice

My Five wasn’t mute before the Apocalypse so they wouldn’t know ASL, but they either use a notebook to write things to say or just portray it via Expression. So They and Sam would also make a cheat sheet together. Five glaring? Means fuck you/no/i disagree. Five giving a thumbs-up is self-explanatory. If Five looks at you once and then looks away and never does again, they are blatantly ignoring you . Sometimes they’d point to things and play some sort of charades .

I think that’s all . Good bye

Spiderpunks 2023

It's mega crossover fusion of Hobie leading a team of Spiderpunk Variants,my choices for the mantle giving based on their similarities to Hobie himself.This au was created with the purpose of Hobie appreciation outside of shipping!!

The other Spiderpunks are all black,either mixed or monoracial,regardless of canonicity but i did include mostly canon black characters!

The lineup:Hobart 'Hobie' Brown(Spiderpunk),Perseo 'Percy' Jackson(Punkero),Katara 'Don't call me Kat' Aipaluk(Seapunk),Stephanie 'Steph' Brown(Punkweaver),Ichigo Kurosaki(Punk Reaper),Marceline and Marshall Lee Abadeer(Spiderblud and Bluspider),Kat 'Don't call me Kit Kat' Elliot(Hellpunk),Katniss Everdeen(Punk 13),Sonic The Hedgehog(Chaos + Yes really,he's their Spiderham equivalent),Ekko Williams(Solpunk),Kipo Oak(Bitepunk),Nimona Boldheart(Arachna)and Rainbow Dash(Punkboom + Again yeah not joking,i love doing these)

Percy and the Abadeer Twins are 22,Katara and Nimona are 14,Stephanie and Ichigo are 19,Kat is 13,Sonic is 15,Ekko is 23,Kipo is 18 and Rainbow Dash is 20.Hobie's age is ambigious because I'm Tired Of The Discourse Around It So Let's Just Not

Spiderpunks is their shared mantle and also team name

It's Atsv!Hobie,not comics Hobie,based and functions as per the title as a 2023 starting sequel run to Atsv and is going to be a semi-long runner(above average comics team run length but not by a ridicilous amount)

They're completely seperate from Spider Society in affiliation,either completely or by the time of Issue 1 depending on the Spiderpunk in question

Percy is the Team Parent since he is in his books and the kids view him are as their big sibling figure and pseudo-parent and the other adults and him are found siblings except him and Stephanie who're just regular besties.There's no interteam ships except Kat x Nimona,which is instant best friends to lovers

The other ships are Percy/Lex(my s/i and her Gwen Stacy),Katara/Aang,Stephanie/Cass,Ichigo/Orihime,Marceline/Bonnibel and Marshall Lee/Gary,Katniss/Peeta,Ekko/Miel(another s/i of mine)and Rainbow Dash/Fluttershy

The whole team is trans and audhd along with being black-Percy is transfem bigender though,jic her any pronouns swag causes any confusion

Their theme song is Snickers or Reese's by Direct Hit!

Their meet up place is Sonic's Speed Cafe on Earth ♾️(emoji for accuracy)and it was created for him as a thanks for his good deeds and anarchistic actions in his civillian persona

Hobie and Stephanie joke about being siblings because of they're both jamaican and last named 'Brown'

Ekko and Percy bond over being afrosolarpunk specifically

And Hobie,Percy and Katara are the 'Unrestrained Seas' trio

Hobie,Percy,Katara,Ichigo and Stephanie are something of a Core Five because they were the first members of Spiderpunks and were around just them for a bit before the rest came along

Sonic and Rainbow Dash have matching star shaped goggles Percy made for them inspo'd by a certain bluehaired punk tgirl from an in-universe series she's a fan

Kipo bites as affection out of Mute genes and autism(therian vibes)and that's how she earned her nickname and Nimona also does because she's not a girl,she's a shark.I do this so nonblacks don't be stupid

The Abadeer Twins provide the most spontaneous music but they all get in on it.None to their level though

Katniss took the longest to warm up to everybody,only out of pure loneliness beforehand,not even having met Peeta yet at her debut

Wendell and Wild are honorary members in the same way Spidermutt and Mrs.O'Leary are

Percy has his blue laces like Hobie does.......And not for the aesthetic.Rest in Piss Poseidon Waters

Also Stephanie has pink laces and that IS for the aesthetic <3 Pastel afropunk feminist queen!!!

Instead of Watches,they have Badges provided by Rukia,Ichigo's Guy In The Chair and decorated to their tastes assigned by his ramblings of them by Orihime,his Gwen Stacy and MJ fusion

Katara's Canon Event is being punk /srs.Ffr just look at her in Atla itself,she was a 14 year old eco-terrorist and revolutionary who ended up marrying the guy who literally invented decolonization in their verse.Kataang is punk4punk excellence

Hobie is everybody's favorite and gets special treatment because he deserves and has earned it after what a brutal ass adultifying childhood with no friends he went through

Ekko plays a mean kalimba and can cook real good so he's assigned the Chill Dude™️ and chef of the Spiderpunks

They try to help out Kat and Nimona get together but subtly as to not make them feel forced to be together(Hobie loves teasing them though <333)

Lex de los Santos is an Anomaly as Earth 27's,Percy's dimension,Ghostspider but thankfully survives like our Gwen and Miel Williams is an MJ who's happily married to Ekko for a year now

They share and steal eachother's clothes and sleep in the same gigantic ass homemade bed when they can in their base:The Anarchy Web,a futuristic organic huge house they accidentally created in a spidey pocket dimension

[kumezyzo]

i was rewatching the dream team all stars MCC and was thinking about streamer!reader cause im actually sick in the head :) so now everyone else has to deal with it 😌 so, as much as i love bad, reader does happen to be an honourary Dream Team member according to bf!sapnap.....

i like to think during this time (Nov. 2021) reader and sapnap are well into their talking stage and like, reallyyyy close to dating (they prolly start dating two weeks after this stream of sum). so this is technically crush!sapnap [so cutee]

also just bsf!george and dream moments cause why not (and cause i need some more fluff to feel gud)

lots of swearing (particularly fbombs lol)

so enjoy.... or dont lol :) m.list

crush!sapnap who cant help but giggle when you text him about the 'serpnerp and gerge' bit he did before the event started. when you ask about the fake kisses they gave eachother, he would be tempted to text you back with "i could give you real ones if you want" but refrains from it.

crush!sapnap who secretly had your stream pulled up on the side just so he could see your face as you hyped yourself up for the event.

if youre faceless, he'd just want to listen to you and hear the way you pause to read a text he sends you. he'd feel so cocky if you happened to quietly giggle at something you he sent you.

crush!sapnap who forgets youre on the call for a moment when he makes comments about needing to take a shit...

"if i really wanted to, i could insta-shit"

"ew wtf 😭"

"i actually forgot you were here for a moment, my bad" (he would be blushing so hard)

crush!sapnap who hypes you up so much during parkour tag (and makes sure youre not getting tagged) when youre the last person to be tagged

bsf!george who also hypes tf out of you when youre tagging people. he gets so loud that you have to tell him to stfu at times

crush!sapnap who subconsciously tries to protect you during the first round of sky battle until you call him out for it

"sapnap, dont worry about me! just try to get the other fucking teams. holy fuck..."

"y/n is getting toxic~"

"george shut the fuck up."

(it was mostly cause dream was getting heated at you but dw sap gets it 😌)

bsf!dream who blames you for a block placement glitch during sky battle

"Y/N!"

"WHAT?! WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO?!"

it led to a strange disagreement about where you were standing before crush!sapnap interjected and told you guys to leave it be. (we stan)

crush!sapnap who feels his heart flutter when you giggle about heated dream was getting over you standing on a rail in grid runners.

bsf!george who gets very hyped when you dont mute yourself during ace race.

"y/n are you muting yourself?"

"nope, are you?"

"LETS GOOO! ITS JUST Y/N AND GOGY"

"Lets go!!!!...... but shut the fuck up a little"

crush!sapnap who tries to gather your materials whenever you need them during buildmart and ultimately pisses off dream when he doesnt bring back what people need.

"Sapnap, how the fuck are you leaving but not bringing back fucking anything we actually need!?!?"

"okay! okay, what do you need?!"

bsf!dream who gets wayyyy too heated at you during battle box.

"y/n just use the fucking bow!"

"i am you dumb fuck!"

"oh my-"

crush!sapnap who gets annoyed too, but tries to not direct it towards you.

"george if theyre building to middle, block them!"

"y/n is supposed to be covering me!"

"they are, so pull your weight!"

bsf!dream who gets yelled at by his chat for yelling at you.

'say sorry to y/n'

"what? you know what, fuck y/n! ive known them for over 5 years, im not saying sorry!"

"good! i dont want your apology anyway! we are no longer friends!"

"good!"

(literal toddlers lol)

crush!sapnap who says a small 'hi' when he passes by you in sands of time. even if youre in the same call. and have been for 2 1/2 hours.

dteam who just lets you do youre own thing in the last to games of the event (sands of time & tgttos).

"i actually havent hear y/n speak in like five minutes," george said with an impressed smile. "i thought they just left the call for a moment, ha."

"me too for a second-"

"both of you shut the fuck up, im tired and tryna get this over with."

"PFFFT-"

bsf!george who could help but cackle when you yell at him during dodgebolt.

"george if you dont stop talking about the arrow, i will fly to london and shove it so far up your ass-"

crush!sapnap who calls you after both of you end your streams to talk about how you feel after the event.

"how are you doing, you seemed..."

"angry? annoyed?"

"tired..."

crush!sapnap talks with you until either one of you has to hang up. you feel like youre back in highschool talking to your crush for hours on end.

Couple Newt X Reader (Mute & Deaf)

Rating Adorable

I yawned as I turned over in my hammock, attempting to cling to my slumber even if my body was already beginning to rouse. The glade gradually illuminated but the sun not yet slipping beyond the grey maze walls. I did my best to keep my eyes closed and sleep for just five minutes more. But no matter how hard I tried I couldn't keep them closed, so I sighed and slowly pried my eyes open. To see the grey light of the morning glade, the gentle grass fluttering in the breeze, and the few hammocks hung around everyone deep in their sleep.

"Morning," Minho chuckled as he came through from his own hammock getting his shirt buttoned up,

"Morn- ing," I yawned,

"You alright?"

"Tired,"

"You know Alby is gonna get you up soon anyway?"

"I know..." I sighed as I pushed myself up and swung my feet out slowly moving down to the ground even if my ankle was already feeling stiff, "It's gonna be a long day,"

"Yeah I get that feeling too," he nodded, "See ya later,"

"Have a good run Min," I nodded,

He headed off towards the maze doors, I rubbed my eyes and slipped my hoodie on and headed across the glade to the kitchens where Fry stood making breakfast after finishing the packs for the runners,

"Fry? It's box day, I'm up early," I complained, "Please tell me you have bacon?"

"No bacon today newt," Fry said, "Just eggs,"

"Just eggs!?" I whined, "Can I at least get a hashbrown?"

"Nope, no hashbrowns,"

"Ughhh fine," I sighed,

I had some breakfast and headed to the gardens by now more people were waking and getting to work as the sun had popped over the walls, I found Zart sorting the shed so I went over,

"Morning," he gleamed,

"Mornin'" I yawned again, "What am I doing?"

"fertilizing,"

"Really?" I sighed,"

"Yep. You can start on the east side and head off to do the rounds once you pass the strawberries,"

"Ughhhh fine," I groaned my back already sore at the idea, "Is there at least enough in the buckets?"

"Nope, they need refilling,"

I groaned and threw my head back, "Fine..." I groaned grabbing the bucket and heading out the deadheads, I filled my bucket with as much fertiliser as I could and headed back to the gardens.

The glade was now in full swingI got on with my work even if the job was boring and exhausting, once I got past the strawberries I threw my bucket and headed off to do the rounds even if the fertiliser smell lingered on me as I went around the glade notebook in hand and made the list of everything we'd need when the box goes down again.

I headed from building to building getting the list made up, until finally I dropped the list off with Alby and sat down in the grass to take a breath. I sighed and lay in the soft grass and watched the soft clouds as I picked a couple of stray splinters from my hands,

Maybe I can just... have a little nap... just five little-

I heard the alarm for the box so I sighed and got up and headed over to the box as I rubbed my eyes. Gally opened the doors and of course, everyone began to look for the stuff they needed but the glade fell silent.

I was unsure why until I noticed, laid in the bottom of the box... was a girl!

I hopped down and looked her over she was pale, with sweet Y/h/C hair, her eyes closed, her body in the same glade clothes we all came up in but these were a little strange on her.... female... body.

"Newt what do you see?" Fry asked,

"It- it's a girl," I answered kneeling beside her body, "I think she's dead?"

"Need me to check her!" Jeff jumped at the opportunity,

"No," I glared, I ran my hand down her hair and stroked her neck I felt her heartbeat, "No she's alive," I nodded, "Miss? Miss?" I asked giving her a gentle shake,

Her Y/e/C eyes shot open and she sat up with a gasp,

"Ahh!" I jumped, "Miss? Are you okay?" I asked putting a hand on her shoulder,

She jumped and turned to see me looking confused and afraid,

"Are you okay Miss?" I asked,

No answer came she just looked around frightened before she moved closer and burrowed into my neck her hand on my shoulder as she cuddled me,

"Ughhh... hi?" I smiled wrapping my arms around her to comfort her as best I could trying to soothe her as I ran my hand down her back, "It's okay, everything's okay," I told her,

She didn't speak, she didn't move she just wanted to hold me, honestly after the rough day I had just had a hug that was really nice and cosy, after a while of the cuddle I pushed her back enough to see her face,

"Hey? Hi, you want to get out of the box now?" I asked her,

She looked confused her eyes on my lips, which made me blush, but she nodded,

"Okay, come on," I helped her out of the box and took her with me to sit on a log by where the bonfire would be tonight, she seemed very scared and confused but she never said anything I explained about the glade to her but still nothing, "uhhh do you remember your name?" I asked, but nothing, "Ughhh Hi?" I asked taking her hand, she looked at me, "uHh Hi? I know it's kinda scary but you don't have anything to say?" I asked and she watched my mouth again wait... is she... is she gonna kiss me!? I mean... I would not complain but I'd like to know her name before we start making out... do I?- Yes- yes I do. "Do you remember your name?"

Her head tilts to the side, "You don't? not at all? You don't remember your name at all?"

She squeezed my hand and tugged it closer to her before she took her index finger and wrote the letters on my hand,

"Y/n? Your name Y/n?" I asked,

she watched my lips and nodded,

"Ohh, Y/n, that's a very pretty name." I smiled, "I'm Newt,"

She slowly watched me before she slept my name on my hand the same way,

"Yeah, yeah I'm newt." I nodded, "Can ... can you talk?"

She shook her head,

"Ohh..." I nodded, "That makes sense... you can see I'm guessing - stupid question, can... can you hear me?" I asked,

she shook her head,

"Then how are you- ohhh!" It clicked, "Your- you're reading my lips?"

She nodded,

"Aww that's so sweet, sorry should I uhh should I talk a little slower?"

she shrugged,

"Okay uhh well I'm more than happy to help you around the glade Y/n for as long as you need," I told her,

she smiled and gave me another hug so I smiled and hugged her too.

I sat at the table doing my best with my notes Y/n is such a sweetie, I know I have a very VERY bad crush on her. Doesn't help she always hugs me every morning and every night I get a hug and it makes my day so much better. But I was checking my notes as we chatted, I always felt bad that Y/n has to sit and read my lips when we talk so slowly I was learning to lip read like she does the two of us mouthing back and forth and together we had been coming up with some sign language between us so we could chat without her having to read my lips and then write on my hand, it was slow but still progress was being made.

"How are the strawberries in the garden Newt?" She signed,

"Growing well Y/n," I signed back,

"When do you think I can have some?"

"Soon I promise,"

"What are you two up to?" Minho jogged over from the maze walls,

"Talking," I shrug,

"How do I say Hi?" He whispered to me,

"She's deaf, you don't have to whisper," I chuckled but showed him the signal for it, he nervously stood in her eye line and signed hello to her she smiled and signed back,

"Hello Minho, how was your run?"

"Ughhhh... what did she say?" he asked,

"She asked how your run was Min," I laughed,

"Ohh tell her it was fine, ben tripped and it was funny,"

I chuckled and signed it to her as he spoke,

She smiled and signed back, "Silly Ben,"

"What was that?" He asked,

"she said you're dumb, stupid and ugly," I lied,

"She did!"

"No, she called ben silly,"

"Ohh... well see you guys," He waved before heading off to the runner's hut,

We both waved to him and we went back to chatting,

"Can we go see if fry has some bacon?" she signed,

I was a little puzzled a moment "Somewhat Y/n?"

"Some Bacon?"

"Bacon?"

"Yeah Bacon, please newt."

"Fry is out I checked this morning,"

She pouted,

I chuckled and offered her my arms to make her feel better she happily came and cuddled me so I wrapped my arms around her and rested my cheek on her head slightly moving from side to side as we hugged, she looked up at me and smiled before she gave me a little wuv rubbing her nose on my own I smiled so widely and did it back to her, I glanced at her lips but I blushed too much and looked away just giving her a good squeeze,

I stood and wiped the soil from my hands, and let out a long yawn. I looked across the gardens to see Y/n as she harvested the strawberries. She spotted me so she smiled and waved at me, I waved back with a warm smile, and signed over to me.

"Hi Newt,"

So I chuckled and signed back, "Hi Y/n," I suppose that is a perk with our signing if we wanted to chat I'd have to go over or we'd have to yell over everyone, and of course, I'm the only one who has bothered to learn so far so no one knows what we've said to each other, "How are the berries?"

"Yummy," She signed back before she quickly snuck one into her mouth,

"Are you stealing them Y/n?" I signed raising my eyebrow a little at her,

"No," she signed,

"Y/n."

"Maybe,"

"You naughty girl,"

"our little secret?"

"Alright our little secret" I signed, "If you bring me a strawberry?"

She nodded and snuck one into her pocket before she came over, I opened my arms for her and she happily let me hug her I wrapped my arms around her waist and gave her a little nose wuv she smiled so widely and did it back for me, she checked around us and grabbed the strawberry from her pocket, she pulled off the green leaves so I opened my mouth she happily shoved it in my mouth I chuckled and enjoyed my strawberry,

"Thank you Y/n," I signed as I chewed,

"Bye-bye," She signed,

"Bye-bye," I signed back before she headed back to the strawberries and I returned to my own work,

I sat on the log by the bonfire having a little moonshine while everyone enjoyed the post-box bonfire, I spotted Y/n across the bonfire and I smiled at her,

"Hi newt," she signed,

"Hi Y/n," I signed back,

"having fun?"

"Loads," I chuckled as I signed I kinda wish I could be sarcastic with my hands, "You having fun?"

"I guess," she shrugged as she signed,

"Happy four months by the way,"

"Thank you, Happy two years,"

"Thank you, Y/n,"

"Can I tell you a secret?"

"Yeah go on,"

She blushed hard and signed to me, "I. Love. You."

I turned bright red my eyes wide unsure if I... saw her correctly, "What?"

"I love you," she signed again,

I blushed so so hard unable to even think straight my hands trembling as I signed, "You. you said you love me?"

she nodded,

I was giddy with excitement, "I love you too, I love you. I love you. I love you." I kept signing to her over and over which made her giggle,

"I love you newt,"

"I love you too Y/n," I had to wipe my face where I was already getting teary, "Come here love,"

She happily came over and opened her arms I didn't hesitate I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into the tightest hug I could, squeezing her against me, she happily squeezed me too and she looked up at me and gave my nose a wuv I happily did it back to her and I mouthed to her,

"I love you,"

she smiled and did it back, "I love you too,"

I glanced down at her lips and gave her nose another little wuv, she nodded so I smiled and leant down letting our lips meet, her sweet strawberry-scented lips felt like heaven, she kissed me back and we slowly tightened our grips on one another, until we finally pulled back and smiled at each other, I sighed happily and rested my cheek on her head as she nuzzled into me for a cuddle, She took my hand in hers and drew a little heart with her index finger on my palm, so I happily kissed her hand and drew one back,

"What are you two talking about?" Minho chuckled as he came over,

"Nothing," I shrug,

Got lazy and put all my unfinished Runner Five Doodles together. This is what I imagine she looks like in-game. (that’s her “Demons & Darkness” costume armor in the bottom right.) Complete with scars from where a botched surgery made her mute!

Fun Run

Rated X / 1656 words / posted on AO3 / Tagging @today-in-fic

CW for dubcon/SA

It’s warm but overcast—perfect weather for running. Scully synchronizes the strike of her heels against the pavement to her measured breaths, falling into a kind of trance that allows her to forget about the energy she’s exerting. The lakeside path is mostly deserted, which makes her immediately notice the sound of a second pair of sneakers pounding rhythmically several yards behind her.

The hairs on the back of her neck stand at attention—alerting her to a threat that her higher reasoning does not yet have evidence for—and she feels the absence of her backup weapon strapped around her ankle. She knows she should always wear it, but the continued jostle on her long runs tends to rub the skin raw over her lateral malleolus, so in practice it typically remains stashed in the glovebox of her car.

The hollow echo of the other runner grows closer, and Scully picks up speed. She doesn’t dare break into a full sprint that she won’t be able to maintain long enough to get back to her car, but she pushes herself to the limit of a sustainable pace. Still, the footsteps grow louder. Whoever is behind her likely has much longer legs. They are likely male. They are likely aware that this park isn’t heavily populated on a weekday at this time. She looks across the lake at the parking lot on the other side. She estimates that it will take her three to five minutes to get there. A lot can happen in three to five minutes

Her lungs are burning and the muscles in her legs have lost sensation. The footsteps draw closer and fade towards her left, and she can now hear the labored breaths of the other runner as they close the last few yards between themselves and Scully. With absolutely no plan, she abruptly veers off the path, muting the slap of her shoes against the pavement as she sets off across a grassy field. When the second set of sneakers also falls silent, her heart springs into her ears, cutting out her hearing. Before she has a split second to think about her next steps, one strong arm winds its way around her waist. She yelps, then uses all the strength she can muster to push her heels into the ground and throw her weight back, knocking both herself and her assailant off-kilter.

She falls backward and lands against his chest, and they both grunt as the force of the fall knocks the respective wind out of their lungs. Scully rolls to the side and feels the brush of grass against her knees and palms. She begins to push herself up off the ground, but a hand on her shoulder quickly twists her around and she is suddenly on her back with the weight of a grown man pinning her down by the hips.

“Hey,” he says insistently, trying to catch her hands as she swings at him aimlessly and thrashes around, her eyes squeezed shut tight. “Scully, stop!”

At the sound of her name, she opens her eyes and blinks rapidly at the sweat-damp face of the man above her. He’s panting, his plush bottom lip hanging open and his eyebrows knit with concern. Now that she is no longer taking swings at him, he plants his hands on the ground on either side of her head and suspends himself over her.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you,” he says breathlessly. “I thought you knew it was me.”

She stares at him, disoriented, as the spike of cortisol coursing through her veins gradually begins to subside. She becomes aware of the press of his pelvis against her own, and the amount of skin that is exposed around her running shorts and sports bra. Mulder is shirtless, bronzed and shimmering. His toned belly flexes each time he sucks in a new breath, and she watches as a bead of sweat gathers in his belly button and then runs down the trail of hair beneath it to dampen his waistband.

When her eyes make their way back to his face, she finds that he is making a similar assessment of her body. She feels herself blush under his scrutiny as he examines her cleavage, but she also feels an anticipatory throb between her legs. She flexes her glutes, which pushes her pelvis up into his just slightly, and he makes a little noise in the back of his throat that sends her hips up again of their own volition. They lock eyes and hang there, suspended between before and after with heaving chests. Scully flashes her eyes down to his lap, to the protrusion at the front of his shorts, then pushes her hips up against him once more.

Mulder drops from his hands to his elbows, and her neck is already extending to meet him when he presses his mouth against hers. He tastes like salt and metal, like raw elements and animal instincts. He bites at her bottom lip tenderly, and she whimpers as she slips her hands under his shorts on either side of his hips. His skin is damp with sweat, hot and smooth as she first squeezes his ass cheeks and then runs one hand around to the front to take hold of his erection. Mulder sucks in a surprised breath, then groans.

He sits up abruptly, grabbing her running shorts by the waist and shucking them off her hips, along with her panties. He moves off of her and peels the fabric down her legs as she watches with fascinated excitement, and then he pushes one of her knees to the side and rakes his eyes over her cunt. She feels herself water under his watch, and the swell of her clit throbbing behind her pubic bone. Mulder reaches into his shorts and pulls his cock free, giving himself several slow strokes as he stares between her legs. Scully feels like she’s on fire, like she’s overloaded with an electrical current that her body cannot contain. Reaching out, she wraps her hand around the head of his cock and squeezes, breaking him from his trance. He moves over her, his shorts still bunched up under his erection, and pushes inside.

Scully’s back arches up off the grass, her mouth hanging open but not producing a sound. Mulder stays still for a moment, lowering his head and kissing the corner of her mouth while she adjusts to his size. When she has the wherewithal to kiss him back, he takes this as his indication that she is ready to continue, and draws his hips back before he slams into her again.

“Oh my god,” she says on a gasp, digging her fingernails into the solid muscles of his back.

Mulder sighs with satisfaction, grinding his hips in delicious little figure-eights. She feels it all, every inch of his skin pressed against hers and the spiky scratch of his pubic hair. He kisses her sweetly and then pulls back a bit, shifting his weight for a better angle. When he resumes, it’s with sharp staccato thrusts that slam against her cervix, contorting her face into a mask of pleasure and pain. After a few minutes, he reaches up and pulls one of her hands from around his neck, guiding it down to where they are joined. Scully blushes, which strikes her as absurd, but complies with his implicit demand. Mulder watches her fumble in the tight space between their bodies until her middle finger is wedged snugly against her clit. Satisfied that she’s in position, he begins a slow, deep grind that pushes her finger even more firmly into her flesh. She feels herself clench around him as he nudges her closer to the edge, and he grunts at the sensation, but doesn’t slow down.

She watches his face as he watches the twitch of his own hips against her, and the flexing muscles in her forearm as she teases a telltale tingle out of her clit. She knows she’s close, but she doesn’t want to tell him. She wants to see his face when he feels it. She wants to see him fall apart. Warmth spreads from her pelvis down her legs, and she fights to keep her eyes open as it slowly overtakes her. She peaks, and his mouth falls open as his eyes slam closed, a low guttural moan rumbling up from his chest.

“Oh, fuck,” he hisses, then starts pumping into her rapidfire, doubling and extending the force of her orgasm. She floats on a sea of pleasure until she feels the heat of him inside her, and the hot rush of his cum spilling out onto the grass.

His head falls into the crook of her neck as they both bask in it, and slowly she becomes aware of the world around her. Chirping birds, the hum and rumble of traffic nearby. She recognizes the murmur of voices steadily growing louder.

“Mulder,” she hisses, pushing at his bare hip. “Someone’s coming, get up!”

Mulder lifts his head with a familiar smirk that tells her he has a joke at the ready, but when he looks beyond her to the trail, his eyes go big. As discreetly as possible, he slides off her and tucks his slippery cock back into his shorts before finding hers and helping her into them. Just as the other pair of runners passes by, he extends his legs and begins to stretch his hamstrings.

“Beautiful day,” he says casually, and the two runners nod in greeting, then disappear around a bend in the trail.

Scully stands and Mulder looks up at her, confused.

“I wasn’t finished with my run,” she says lightly, then begins a slow trot across the grass and back onto the pavement.

She smiles as she hears Mulder scurry to catch up with her, his cum running down the inside of her thigh.

It's 'All Saints Day' - so let's take a look at some Cyberpunk Saints!

In the gritty and dystopian worlds of cyberpunk, where the lines between right and wrong blur into shades of gray, a unique breed of characters emerges. These are the unsung heroes, the saints of cyberpunk, who may not wear capes but display unwavering moral compasses in the face of technological chaos and societal decay. Here, we delve into the lives and stories of five such cyberpunk saints, whose actions have left an indelible mark on the genre.

1. Remy "The Seeker" Vargas Film: Strange Days (1995)

In the cyberpunk classic "Strange Days," Remy Vargas, played by Michael Wincott, is a former LAPD officer turned black-market peddler of SQUID recordings – immersive experiences that tap into people's sensory memories. Despite his questionable occupation, Remy's redemption arc unfolds as he becomes the unlikely guardian of justice. His journey is a testament to the power of second chances, as he risks everything to expose a web of corruption within the LAPD.

2. Sister Mary "The Healer" Literature: "Neuromancer" (1984) by William Gibson

Within the pages of William Gibson's seminal work, "Neuromancer," Sister Mary stands as a beacon of compassion in the unforgiving sprawl of the future. She is a nurse with a heart of gold, providing solace and care to those battered by the relentless march of technology. Sister Mary's unwavering empathy serves as a stark contrast to the callousness of the cybernetic world she inhabits, making her a true saint of the cyberpunk realm.

3. Case "The Reluctant Redeemer" Literature: "Neuromancer" (1984) by William Gibson

Another figure from Gibson's masterpiece, Case, is not your typical hero. A washed-up hacker and drug addict, he finds himself thrust into a high-stakes battle against shadowy corporations and rogue AIs. His transformation from a cynical, self-destructive loner into a reluctant redeemer mirrors the broader themes of redemption and renewal often explored in cyberpunk. Case's journey serves as a reminder that even the most broken souls can find redemption in a world dominated by technology.

4. Gaff "The Silent Sentinel" Film: Blade Runner (1982)

In Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner," amidst the neon-lit streets of a dystopian Los Angeles, we encounter Gaff, portrayed by Edward James Olmos. He is the enigmatic and almost mute character who leaves behind cryptic origami figures. While not a central character, Gaff's role as a "retirement" officer transcends mere enforcement. His complex relationship with the film's protagonist, Deckard, adds layers of moral ambiguity and introspection to the narrative, making Gaff an intriguing and enigmatic figure in the cyberpunk landscape.

5. Molly "The Street Samurai" Literature: "Neuromancer" (1984) by William Gibson

Molly Millions, also known as "Razorgirl," is a cyber-enhanced street samurai in Gibson's "Neuromancer." Her steely determination and skill with cybernetic enhancements make her a formidable force. However, beneath her tough exterior lies a character deeply scarred by her past. Molly's journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in a world where flesh and technology merge seamlessly. She fights not only for survival but for the chance to reclaim her humanity.

In the cyberpunk genre, where moral ambiguity reigns supreme, these unsung heroes, or "saints," stand out as beacons of hope, redemption, and resilience. Their stories remind us that, in the darkest of futures, there are those who refuse to lose their humanity and continue to fight for a better world. These five characters, each flawed in their own way, exemplify the enduring themes of the cyberpunk genre and the indomitable spirit of those who dare to be the good guys in a world gone digital.

[abeltownshipslittlebitch]

So true, the 5/Simon dynamic is just *chef's kiss*!

Can I ask what your 5's relationship with Simon was like pre-betrayl? What kind of things did they do together and we're they just friends or was there maybe something there that could have been, in a different life?

Also (because I have to sneak in a question about my other fav ship), what was your 5's relationship like with Peter pre-reveal? And did your 5 see it coming or was she completely blindsided?

Sorry if you've answered/talked about this before. Feel free to just link the posts if you have. 💛

I really haven’t talked much about my specific five so thanks for asking! It’s kind of long so I have a read more.

Pre-Betray my Five, Callista, and Simon were besties. They loved going on runs together and Callista cared about Simon quite a bit and vice versa. Callista didn’t have any attraction to Simon romantically or vice versa during early seasons, although their friendship was strong in a way that made them almost seem like platonic soulmates. During the time Callista couldn’t speak, she taught him sign language (she’s American but she knows British sign language) although it didn’t help much because I say that Simon would always grab her wrist while they ran together. It made running a bit awkward and uncomfortable, but it became a habit and it kept Simon from having to worry about Callista being the little crow she was from running off to collect a new trinket and nearly giving him a heart attack when he turns around to see her gone.

They hung out a lot, but usually with some OCs I made just for my world that were people Callista cared about. Callista loved reading as an escape so she babbled to Simon about books a lot, and she is a pretty good cook so cue her dragging Simon into the kitchen to help her with a recipe. And since she is American and lived in the southern region she cooked those kinds of foods which Simon always was skeptical about but tried anyway because she looked so happy to be reminded of home again.

Speaking of her being American, when she regained the ability to talk, it became pretty common for the two of them to make fun of each other’s accent. They teased each other a lot but it was always in good fun.

Basically in those early seasons my Five and Simon were best friends who loved each other platonically but much more than most friends did.

In the seasons with Peter pre-reveal, Callista did feel drawn to him and she trusted him way quicker than she normally would. It confused her, honestly. But it felt nice to be close to someone again in that platonic way, although this time there were romantic notes in there that was the start of an a extremely slow burn… because neither of them actually believe they have feelings for each other until much later. Peter didn’t realize he had romantic feelings for Callista until near the end S7 and Callista didn’t realize she had feelings for him until the gap between S8 and 9, and neither of them even admit it to each other until about 1/3 way through S9, and things are complicated because of other failing relationships they were both in but not sure if they should let them go.

Back to pre-reveal though, Callista has smart and stupid moments. She’s an amazing runner and is quick in coming up with plans and spotting things but she always did not see the reveal coming for two reasons:

1. She can be really fucking stupid and oblivious when it comes to these things.

2. After Simon “died” in S3 finale she refused to believe there was a chance he might be alive because if she gave herself that hope and then never saw him again and he was actually dead it would destroy her. (She was so devastated by Simon’s “death” in S3 she actually stopped talking and only spoke via sign language, which she hadn’t done since she regained her ability to speak in early S2. She was mute during the entire time skip between S3 and 4 and only spoke again because her sister came to Abel and she was so angry because she and her younger sister have major beef that she started speaking just to curse her out.)

Back to the point, there were obvious signs, but Callista was oblivious and in denial so she never saw it coming. Peter even did the same habit of grabbing her wrist while on runs and she would just awkwardly pull away and tell him only one person had that privilege (but Peter still did it out of habit and Callista eventually just let him). Callista tries not to think too much about it.

When Peter admits that he’s Simon, Callista’s brain short-circuited and she nearly had to be dragged to safety from the zombies around them because she just froze. There was an argument later because Callista wasn’t sure how to process all of this, but it ended in tears with Callista’s much shorter frame hugging Peter right enough to hurt as she sobbed “I missed you,” over and over again.

I hope that answered your question! And thank you for the ask about my Five!

[drowsystarlight]

(Based on this post)

“Thank you.”

Well, that’s fucked up, isn’t it? Sam Yao woke up one day with the two words scribbled on his left wrist, magic ink sitting over his pulse in tiny little letters. It was almost feeble, how the sentence fit in the space between the ridge in his wrist. He’d seen his friend’s tattoo before and it was bold; it’s splayed on the length of his forearm, a whole sentence with letters big enough to mark a line from shoulder to elbow. It barely even had eight words. Why was his so… Underwhelming?

As if that wasn’t enough, it had to be something everyone said to him at some point. Thank you. Any stranger could tell him that and he’d never know if it was really them, either way—and he really tried, y’know? Approached a stranger who told him thank you after he pointed out a dropped wallet, showed his soulmate mark, only to find out that the person already found their own. That happened three more times and before long, he already swore off the idea months before Day Zero even started. Being stuck in the zombie apocalypse drastically narrowed the pool of choices by… Too much. But Sam felt even more hopeless about actually finding his soulmate since he’s stuck inside Abel Township all the goddamn time; he’s talked to every resident and none of them said it first. 

That wasn’t even the worst thing.

When Alice first found Abel, she ran into his arms in a shower of sobs and Thank You and You Saved My Life. She did say the words first, right? Sam found himself beaming on the inside then, because finally he’s found his soulmate. Every passing day afterward only confirmed the theory for him, with how he and Alice just… Fell together. Did it matter that Sam’s welcome greeting of Abel Township isn’t what’s on her arm? Who cares? He loved her. She loved him, too. Alice didn’t believe in the soulmate bullshit now that a huge chunk of the world’s population has gone gray, anyway. After all, why believe in Fate when it led them into this hellscape? 

And then she died. Alice got bit in a pinch inside some hospital and the words on Sam’s pulse never faded—not that he cared to check under his hoodie’s sleeve until a month later. It’s a known thing, soulmates dying and their words disappearing as soon as they breathe their last breath. With the dead rising from the grave, it’s become a bit more complicated; would the words still disappear if your soulmate merely turned?

Sam never got an answer. It stayed even after Alice turned. It stayed even after they got a new Runner Five, and even after Alice’s zombified self had been shot between the eyes. All of it stayed, much to his lament, because it meant the one thing he desperately didn’t want it to mean. 

He mourned two things then: the lost feeling of knowing who your soulmate is and finding out that the one who died wasn’t really that person. Sam felt guilt swallow him in waves with how the words still gave him hope; it felt like he was betraying Alice’s ideals even if he simply just had a different one of his own. He’s happy that his someone is still out there, but it’s awfully fucking crappy to feel hopeful when his world was already shattered twice. Hearing Alice yelp in pain from that bite, waking up to dreams of her whispering her final goodbyes, seeing her everywhere in Abel and only having her wallet to remember her by…

Seeing as Sam could only really explore within Abel’s walls, he tried to gauge the new runner and test his theory out. Their new Runner Five being elusive and mute took them off his list faster than he could blink; they don’t talk and Sam is certain his soulmate would need to talk for words to exist on his wrist. Plus, this Runner Five is far from Alice despite some mannerisms being similar and there was no way Sam would even mistake them as her. They had short, dark brown hair and light brown eyes; Alice was far taller and carried herself more confidently than the silent runner in his own oversized shirt—oh, yes, there’s also the fact that this Runner Five ran straight to Abel after the copter crash in their pajamas, which Alice would simply never do. He gave them his old shirt and it hung over their small frame despite the slight indication of muscles on their entire body. 

They’ve also made quite the impression within the Township in just a week of living there; abruptly leaving in the middle of conversations without turning back, staring blankly at someone until they finally shimmy away from embarrassment, only nodding or shaking their head no to answer questions flatly… At one point, Sam asked them how they’re doing out of courtesy; all he got is a simple nod before the smaller runner left him in the afternoon breeze. Maxine talks to them more often due to their training, but even Maxine has expressed her frustration with them at one point. Runner Five has a killer poker face, a murderous glare, the kind of silence you’d expect from your own shadow, and wicked fucking speed when it comes to running—it felt like they were some untouchable god who was simply too arrogant to acknowledge veryone else. 

Yet, he found none of that in them after they came back from New Canton that night.

There’s only loud sobbing. Loud, loud sobbing, interrupted by hiccups and severe trembling from all the wailing inside Abel’s gates. If the guards hadn’t cleaned up the zombie tail after them, Sam would’ve thought they were being loud on purpose. But it’s striking in itself to hear and see Runner Five rattle within his hold, dirtied by grime and bloodied from a bullet that grazed the skin off of the side of their neck. For once, the unreachable god felt human, and their tears were contagious.

“We’ve got you, Runner Five,” Sam says in a mix of a laugh and a choked sob, holding the wailing runner as tight as his arms could. “You’re home… You’re home, it’s okay… You’re okay… You’re safe here…”

And in the haze of it all, of Runner Five looking up at him with tearful eyes and dark brown strands sticking to their skin, Sam lost every thought of the words on his wrist. It simply didn’t matter because he got them back, regardless of their complicated and unknown status before this night. Were they friends? Close friends? Acquaintances? Strangers?

It didn’t matter. Fuck it. His soulmate could be on the other side of the world and he no longer cared.

A trembling yet firm hand grabs onto his hoodie’s collar soon after, and Sam is way too deep into the waterworks to refuse anything Runner Five demanded. His eyes are teary, his glasses are all lopsided and he can barely see straight—they’re fixed by another trembling hand and the sight before him felt like a fever dream. He leans down to let them bring their lips near his ear, his own hands absent-mindedly rubbing soothing circles on their arms…

“Thank you.”

Sam Yao finds his world rattled upside down, only this time—this time, it’s because of an avalanche of answers. All of a sudden, everything made sense; the small letters, the thin lines, why it stayed despite Alice’s death and why everyone was excited to hear the goddamn phrase. Why Runner Five seemed to watch him a little more carefully before leaving, or before nodding along to whatever he just said. Why they always seemed so cautious and quick to exit... There’s pleasant static beneath the two words etched onto his pulse, racing from his wrist and into the steady thumping in his chest.

Runner Five’s phrase is nowhere to be found on their arm, but they keep clinging to him despite their softening sobs. Eventually, Sam finds peace in sitting there with them, only breaking it to look up at Maxine and Janine and beg them to give Five some time to calm down before checking them for bites. The sun is peeking past Abel Township’s walls when Five eventually calms down, exhaustion slowly lulling them into a peaceful slumber…

He only finds the phrase by then, etched right under the length of their collarbone; Sam originally tried not to look until the words caught his attention. 

If you can hear me, well, you’re doing great.

Well, that isn’t so fucked up now, is it? He only had the rest of the end of the world to understand Runner Five—who was, apparently, his soulmate all along. Something tells him that it wouldn’t even be as hard as he originally plans it to be.

My Runner 5’s/ZR Universe MCs. (Spoilers for seasons 1-3 of ZR with illusions to later seasons)

using @ummmmandy​‘s picrew and inspired by @runner5anna‘s post (I’m still working on my 5′s playlist so that’s coming at a later date)

Runner Five: Alicia Emily Bright

The OG, my traumatised baby, who I will protect with my life but also trauma dump on. 

Has left side Hemiplegia.

Is neurodivergent AF (autism)

diagnosed with GAD (Generalised Anxiety Disorder)

Very sensitive to loud noises, wet clothing and mess on her skin.

Short sighted.

Huge Nerd. Will talk about Doctor Who and Red Dwarf for hours if you let her. Loves DnD.

Has an emotional support puppy by the name of Scraps, a Jack Russell Terrier who she rescued in season 2 and whom she adores. To lose him would literally be like losing a child to her. He is her baby. It sure would be a shame if something happened to him, say for example, someone killed him at the end of season 5. 

Forgets to look after herself constantly, potentially has a death wish (or at least thats Abel Township’s theory), will kill and be killed for those she loves.

Walker- Tabitha ‘Tammy’ Natalie Walker.

Alicia’s uncle Dominic is Tammy’s father.

Coincidentally, her surname is the same as her computer generated codename, Walker.

Bubbily, but also extremely sensible and serious.

More extroverted than Alicia, but less than the average person.

Was on her way to meet family at Paddington station as she was travelling down for a week in London with her dad, step mum, Ruby, half siblings, Tara, David and Luke, her uncle Joel, her aunt Maria and her cousins Alicia and Louis, as an early birthday present when she was approached by Fiona and dragged into the whole mess.

Because of this, his family has always been, unbeknownst to him and his relatives, on a government watch list. 

He left school at 14 and started an apprenticeship in engineering.

He then signed up to fight in the war in 1915, underage. He survived, travelling across the globe from Africa to Russia.

Eventually he met Elizabeth Stewart, a Scottish nurse whilst in Russia.

Both of them were stuck in Russia after the war for a couple of years, and during that time they fell in love. They managed to leave Russia back to the London just before the Tsar was assassinated, and Jamie returned back to his apprenticeship, becoming an accomplished engineer and setting up his own company. 

despite this he constantly suffered flashbacks and nightmares from his time at war. 

They had three children. George, Joseph ‘Jojo’ and Edith ‘Edie’. 

He passed away in March 1999 at the age of 99. 

He is the grandfather of Dominic and Joel Bright and the great grandfather of Tabitha Walker, Alicia, Tara, Louis, David and Luke Bright.

“Step into Spring with These 5 Fashionable Sneaker Trends”

"Improve your sneaker style this spring with these valuable tips on the latest fashionable sneaker trends." When it comes to fashionable footwear, designers are on a mission to elevate sneakers beyond street style to become the luxe staple we can't live without. Showy with a plethora of textures – think shiny silhouettes, suede, and crystals, not to mention sneakers with chunky soles to classic retro styles, this season it's all about high-fashion comfort – with enough flair to be on our 'most wanted' list, whatever the dress code. Here's how to get your trainer therapy with these five sneaker trends... 1. Snazzy silver "Sneakers are everywhere this season, from mega metallics to pops of color or classic white; there is a style to suit every woman," says Lisa Kay, CEO of Sole Bliss. "The silver trend continues… it's modern, eye-catching, and incredibly versatile, as metallics can work as a neutral," says Kay. "Silver trainers can be easily dressed up or down and work as party shoes or everyday wear." Next -Signature Forever Comfort Leather Chunky Wedges Platform Trainers, $76 Sole Bliss Palazzo: Silver Leather, $299 2. Peach fuzz A hot topic in fashion circles, Pantone's 2024 Colour of the Year, Peach Fuzz, is a playful, peachy tone that hits all the right notes… "With a call to the Eighties, this is a colour trend that cries sunshine no matter what the weather barometer says," notes Donna Hill, Gola digital and marketing director. "Used as a highlight across several styles this season, its warmth and radiance brighten any outfit. "Worn with whites and denims, a touch of peach fuzz adds a sunny and feminine touch to simple styles." JCrew Color Block Trainer, White Peach, $69 Gola Classics Women's Raven Trainers, Orange Spice/Raspberry/Coral Pink, $120 3. Embellishment With a glimmer of glitz or crystals, if solid silver feels too heavy metal, a glimpse of embellishment gives newness to your everyday look. Go nude with a bit of bling, or pair darker tones with white jeans to put a spring in your step. Bobbies Willow, Milos Beige, $215 Sole Bliss Star: Navy Leather & Suede, $299 4. Vintage vibe A key trend for SS24, vintage styles are where it's at… "From colourful suede options to Eighties-inspired court trainers, retro styles are here to stay," says Hill. With so many options, she says vintage classics can be styled to suit any occasion. "Bold-coloured suede options elevate the simplest looks and work well with tailored trousers and ankle-grazing denim," Hill continues, "while chunkier options provide the perfect juxtaposition to floaty dresses and skirts." Chrysoline de Gastines, co-founder of Balzac Paris, agrees: "With a thinner, more delicate profile imbued with a vintage essence, the sneaker of 2024 reimagines its contours while striving for a lighter construction." With daring color selections to create a truly distinctive and original design, Gastines says the subtly elevated sole and vibrant upper complement both trousers and feminine ensembles, such as skirts or dresses. Gola Classics Women's Elan Trainers, Marine Blue/White, $110 Balzac Paris Yellow and Black Colette Sneakers, $225 5. Athletic aesthetic Whether it's fun brights, muted schemes, or pops of color, there's an attention to detail with the latest looks in sporty trainers. "With running shoes styling out most of our wardrobes, styles such as the 'LKB step' are the perfect shoe to fuse utmost comfort with fashion, playing into the chunky trainer trend," says Thomasine Jordan, global product and design director of LK Bennett. Furthermore, they look fabulous with faded denim, loose linen, or leggings and offer an instant style update to your wardrobe with that all-important street cred status.

7 Dining Room Decor Ideas to Get Your Space Warm for Winter

Now that you know why you should be decorating your dining room for winter, you must start thinking of ideas to get the job done. From rustic wall art to soft linens, here are 7 decor ideas that will get your dining room ready for the winter season.

Console Tables

Console tables are a great addition to the dining room and they can be used as extra storage space or to display artwork. You can also use them to add a touch of colour and personality to the room. In winter, you can opt for rustic wooden console tables or antique metal ones to give the space a warm, homely feel.

Incorporate Soft Linens

Linen curtains and tablecloths add warmth to any space and are especially great for winter decorating. Choose colours like deep reds and oranges or muted neutrals like beige, grey, and white for a subtle yet cosy feel.

Accent pillows are another great way to add warmth and texture to your dining room during the winter months. Choose pillows in bold colours like navy blue or forest green for a pop of colour or opt for neutral tones like cream or camel if you prefer something subtler.

Update Lighting Fixtures

If you’re looking for an easy way to instantly update your dining room, consider replacing outdated lighting fixtures with something more modern or vintage-inspired. For example, an industrial chandelier or designer lamps would create a dramatic focal point in your dining space while also providing plenty of light when entertaining guests. If you do not wish to change lighting fixtures, you can consider adding design candle stands. Candles will make your room look warm and inviting during the dark winter months. The Aristocrat Desk and Side Table Wireless Charging Lamp can be a great add-on in the dining room.

Layer Rugs

Layering rugs add depth and dimension to any space, so why not try it in your dining room? Choose two rugs—one larger one as the base layer and one smaller one as an accent—to create an eye-catching look that will instantly elevate your decor game this winter season! Your centre table can also be decorated with a festive table runner or doily to tie the whole look together.

Napa Abstract Art Floor Rug will perfectly match your dining room decor. Textured fabrics like velvet drapes add rich texture to any space without overpowering it; they also provide insulation against cold drafts during those chilly winter nights! Choose fabrics in warm hues like burgundy or gold for an opulent look that will keep you feeling comfy all season long!  

Incorporate Greenery

Greenery is always welcome in any home décor scheme; it adds life and energy to any room! Place lush green plants on shelves or hang them from walls for a touch of nature’s beauty in your dining area this winter season!

Use Decorative Pieces

Showpiece for table tops is a great way to add a festive feel to your dining room. Choose pieces such as statues, vases, or ceramic bowls to bring the room to life and make it look extra special.

Another fabulous idea is to create a gallery wall. It is an easy way to add personality and charm to any space, including your dining room. Find abstract paintings in different sizes and shapes, then fill them with family photos or rustic prints for a unique look. Hang abstract paintings above your dining table or sideboard for a personalized touch.

Mirrors can make any small space appear larger than life by reflecting light around the area; they also bring a sense of luxury into the mix! Hang mirrors above sideboards or dressers to give your eating area some glamour this cold weather season!

The Hampton Stripe Decorative Showpiece For Home Décor is a fabulous piece for any dining room. It is the perfect addition to bring an understated elegance to space during winter!

On the other hand, Metallic Magic Decorative Ceramic Vase is a great choice for those who prefer a more modern aesthetic. Its sleek design will instantly add a touch of style and sophistication to your dining room.

Install a Fireplace

Nothing says winter quite like a cosy fireplace, so if you’re looking for a way to truly transform your dining room this season, consider installing an electric or gas fireplace. Not only will it provide warmth and comfort to your space, but it will also be a great focal point when entertaining guests!
