imagine boothill and GENIUS reader.. like im imagining boothill vaguely mentioning abt how he misses his daughter and reader is like "oh i can give you a daugther" and boothill is all confused and flustered BC HE THOUGHT THEY WANTED TO DO IT WITH HIM while reader ment it as in like. them creating an artificial human daughter for him 😭

Ok but he would and I declare this ask canon

this ask has a slight ns/fw part, so mdni.

Boothill’s actually flabbergasted after hearing your words. What do you mean you’ll give him a daughter? Sure, he wouldn’t mind, but um, there’s a tiny problem with his junk - or rather lack thereof, replaced with pure machinery. He hides his scarlet cheeks with his hat, trying to figure out your true intentions.

While it is true that you and Boothill have been dating for a while, you never mentioned anything about children. On top of that - you’re a genius, so you’re aware he’ll never be able to give you a proper child. Either way, Boothill’s thoughts begin to race - I mean, who knows, maybe it’d work? Maybe it’s worth trying? The sight of you writhing under the sheets, biting your lip as he kisses his way down your neck, collarbones, and then your soft breasts, your legs wrapping around him as he lines up his shaft with your wet sli—

“Silly cowboy, I meant creating an artificial child together for us to raise.”

Boothill blinks rapidly as if he awoken from a dream, “artificial… is, is it even possible?”

“Well, we can try working with what you have left. How does that sound, galaxy ranger?”

“Uhh, sure?” Boothill responds uncertainly, “I thought we would —“ his robotic hand moves to hide his face, and the cyborg can’t help but let out a heavy sigh, sitting down on a nearby chair.

“Well, that won’t work, you should know that already. But if it makes you feel better, we can try celebrating it… I suppose.”

Boothill’s ears suddenly perk up and he sits straight in a second, telling you to hurry up and “get these motherfudging samples right the heck now.”

I know we all joke about Charles Rowland having these over-exaggerated people pleasing tendencies, but I just want to say they make a lot of sense for someone who grew up in the hell hole of a home that he did.

(Now's the time to dip if you don't want to read something kind of heavy and also really messy, sorry. CW for mentions of Charles' home life)

The night nurse gave us some insight into what Charles' home life looked like (that, and we can piece together how he must have been feeling from his reactions to the Devlin house). We know he had a volatile, objectively abusive parent. We know he and his mother were terrified of this man, enough that he keeps checking in to try and make sure that his mom is still okay all these years later.

Alright. Still with me?

There's this thing that happens to kids who grow up in households like this (trust me).

Because one parent is so volatile, they learn to model after the other parent who is constantly keeping the peace. They're constantly walking on eggshells, they have to be hyper-vigilant of even slight differences in the atmosphere to prevent a catastrophe. If they have needs or wants, then those needs and wants are not being met. If there are problems (there are) then they are not being talked about (ever, and if they try then all hell breaks loose and there are consequences).

These kids form a facade of "everything is fine, there are no problems and we are happy here". You know, what we would call a people pleaser.

This is Charles. This is very much a survival instinct, it kept him reasonably safe in life (truly, he only died once he deviated from it and "rocked the boat" so to speak).

In all fairness, it has worked out fine for him in death too- Edwin responds well to it. Edwin actually does react very well to Charles' attempts at merry making, deep breathing, even his playful ideas like boardgames and boxing. What he knows works, actually. It works so well he's stuck around for thirty years, so in his mind he probably doesn’t think he should change anything.

The second time he deviated from people pleasing, in all fairness, even when he had to or else he would get separated from Edwin, also didn't work out well. He reacted on genuine, earnest feelings. He was fucking angry when the night nurse showed him his trauma. He was pretty raw when he pushed her over the bridge and into the fish. That was all earnest, uncensored emotion, not a measured act.

Edwin reacted poorly. Everyone reacted poorly. Back to people pleasing.

Charles is really only confused when people pleasing doesn't work. When he reaches out to try and befriend Monty and gets snubbed, I think he's genuinely confused. He can't figure what's wrong. This always works. It always works with Edwin at least. So what's wrong?

That continues on when he's doing everything he'd typically do to engage Edwin while he's reading and it's just... not working (because remember the hyper-vigilance- he knows something is different and so he's unsettled).

This continues onto the roof scene. He knows something is completely and utterly fucked (he just doesn't know it is between Monty and Edwin, or that Crystal’s powers are gone) and he's uncomfortable. In a previous life, he'd be waiting for the other shoe to drop and something to hurt.

He's relieved when Edwin finally starts opening back up a little and trying to talk to him. Yes, he misinterprets what's happening at first (he assumes Edwin is coming out in general, as opposed to trying to tell him he likes him), but things are going back to normal in his mind.

They're reconnecting. He does get a little uneasy because there's still one wall between them (the cat king) that he can't manage, joke, or talk his way out of yet because Edwin hasn't explained yet.

This gets interrupted anyway. (At least there's no more cat bracelet, lol. A win for Charles).

There's more pressing issues, though- he needs to rescue Edwin from hell. He literally cannot be separated from him. Their whole thing has been not being separated from each other since... well since the start. So he keeps his promise, sloughs through the depths of hell, and goes to get him. Easy enough! He disarms the babydoll spider with a bomb, a moltov cocktail, and Edwin's journal. This was probably the least of his problems.

Success. He's got Edwin back. His afterlife is good again. Now things can go on as normal.

Only FUCK! Now Edwin is asking him to express... his... feelings...

-Well. Look how well it went the last time Charles did anything on his own volition. First he died, then he pushed Edwin away. This seems kind of important. He can't fuck this up, but they are literally running out of hell, but he can't fuck this up because that would mean he pushes Edwin away-

He comes up with something that feels close to right, measured, things that Edwin has responded well to before (and under all of that he asks him to stay, please stay, be patient, but it comes out as a declaration because that seems more certain). He cannot lose Edwin here.

They run back up the stairwell together. Charles hopes maybe Edwin understood.

Charles wishes he had better words on the roof. He doesn't, other than to reassure Edwin they're okay-- he would have wanted that. The last time he said anything, it was too extreme. He says nothing and hopes maybe Edwin will give him some sort of clue on what to do again, eventually.

Idk, maybe I'll write more later but... this is so fascinating to me because it's like so obvious as someone who grew up in the absolute tar pit that Charles did. He's not dumb, or making arbitrary choices with what he's doing here. He is doing what he knows works to keep what's important to him close to him. He's just wildly out of his depth when that doesn't work.

a small half-finished comic for my dentist au-i was gonna put more but I got tired

Eclipse notices something's missing, ehehe

(Context is that Sun let Eclipse (V2) go instead of shooting him in to another dimension with star power and kicks him out of the plex-he's out on the streets in the first panel)

[atrociousgargamelitis]

Officially an idiot here. Why did it take me 3 MOTHERFUCKING REWATCHES to notice that Blitzø was going to confess his feelings to Fizzarolli when the accident happened.

For my fellow idiots there was this frame in season 2 episode 6:

You can't really see it but the letter says "For Fizz's eyes only". LOOK AT THAT LOVESTRUCK TEENAGE DIRTBAG. LOOK AT HIM

I have so many questions. Why didn't he do it? The first thing that pops to mind is that he got cold feet. But he was MAD when walking away. He tossed the letter and the flower and was clearly enraged. SO WHAT THE SHIT HAPPENED? They didn't have a fight because when Fizzarolli saw him he was genuinely happy. What was it? Did Blitzø admit that he had feelings for Fizzarolli to someone else (perhaps his mom or Barb?) and they discouraged him somehow, maybe accidentally? Did his father realize and tell him that Fizzarolli is way too good for him and that he'll never get with a useless imp that can't even perform right? WHAT HAPPENED I NEED TO KNOW. If anyone has any theories PLEASE I'd love to hear them. I THOUGHT BLITZFIZZ WAS JUST A THING PEOPLE LIKED I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS BASED ON CANON!!!AND I SWEAR TO GOD IF IT'S NOT TACKLED AGAIN BY THE SHOW ITSELF.

May I request a doodle Medic sharing a sandvich with his birds? I think he deserves to relax with his babies :3

Me: "I don't often cook but I'm going to quick look through my mom's recipe cards and see if I can find that specific recipe"

Me, 15 minutes later, sobbing: "Love is stored in handwritten recipe cards"

I love how you can use the environment in baldur’s gate.

for instance, I got my ass completely handed to me in a battle, so on my second attempt I piled barrels of gunpowder & wine near where the enemies would run out, and had one of my guys posed with a fire spell to ignite them. and THIS TIME, I triggered a massive explosion on my first turn of combat, instantly killing my entire party.
