cw. boothill x f!reader drabble, riding (but really he’s the one in charge), piv penetration, cyborg dick, a hint of dacryphilia perhaps, this is seriously just some major brainrot im having please help, minors dni pls and ty :)

cold metal bites into the supple flesh of your hips.

it’s a stark contrast to the heat your body radiates, icy fingertips clutching you tightly as boothill guides you along his dick, sinfully dragging against the fluttering walls of your pussy.

“ridin’ me so well, cutie. you like being used like this, huh?” sharp teeth graze the sensitive skin of your throat before he laughs, deep and condescending. “i’ll make sure you’re satisfied. can’t have you doubtin’ me again, can we?”

you’re too fucked out to even answer. boothill’s strong hands force you to bounce on his ribbed metal cock, drawing whines and mindless babbles from your lips as you slump against him. your hands pull and tug at his silky hair while you plead, “hol’on, waaait, s’too much..!”

it’s honestly your fault that you’re even in this situation. you had teased boothill about his cyborg body—“you get a dick attachment with that robo-body or what?”—and now you’re paying the price.

“too much now?” boothill sneers, sharp teeth glinting in the low lights of the room as he looks at you. his red pupils drink in your debauched expression, the way sweat beads at your temple and drips down your face.

he suddenly slows, grinding his hips up in to yours as he drags a hand up the slope of your body, leaving a trail of icy nerves in its wake. he grips your face, squishing the fat of your cheeks. silvery tears of pleasure line your lashes, something boothill smugly takes note of. when a tear trickles down your cheek, he’s immediately leaning forward to lap it up with his tongue.

“thought you said i wouldn’t be able to keep up with the real thing. you so sure about that now?”

your attempt to shake your head is stopped only by the way he grips you. he leans in, nipping at your plush lower lip before he continues.

“i do love a challenge, though.” his voice is rough, tinged with heated desire as he grinds his dick further into you. “am i proving ya wrong, sweetheart?”

“yes,” you whimper, thighs trembling as he kisses you, long and deep. boothill moves his hand back down to your waist and takes up his earlier pace, using you almost like his own personal fucktoy.

“that’s a good girl,” he drawls. “let me take care of you, yeah?”

please don't repost on other platforms. rbs and comments are super appreciated ♡ !!

May I request headcanons for ZZZ Billy, Wise, and Lycaon reacting to his shy gn s/o asking to kiss his cheek please?

──── if the sky was pink and white..

𝜗𝜚 synopsis. and what if i kissed your cheek? what then?

𝜗𝜚 pairings. billy, wise, & lycaon x gn!reader, implied relationship

𝜗𝜚 director's notice. hi nonnie!! and of course. happy reading! follow & rb for more! ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ )

i. ꒰ wise ꒱ ‧₊˚

definitely stunned

he knows you both are in a relationship and stuff but if he'll be honest.. he has never kissed any person, let alone on the cheek!

now he was receiving one from someone as nice and sweet as you are.

oh and the sweet little smile on your face.. weren't you just the cutest?!

"are you sure? don't feel like you have to force yourself sweetheart" /ᐠ - ˕ -マ "mhm, i mean it. so would you let me?" ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )

gladly lets you

is so happy about it, like a puppy about to get its treat

and after he does and definitely gives it right back, cupping your cheek while he does.

ii. ꒰ lycaon ꒱ ‧₊˚

same reaction but quickly composes himself

you were asking with a sweet little smile on your face. gosh could you get any more attractive?

he knows how shy you were, and now you're asking to kiss him?

before you kiss him though he will do a bit of face care before you do. he won't tell you though!

okay now when you do kiss him his fur is so soft.

"can i... kiss you on the cheek?" ( 〃．．) "of course, dear. only if you'd like. oh but do give me a few minutes to prepare." (੭ˊᵕˋ)੭

but if you know lycaon well, a kiss or two isn't enough for him.

he'll obviously stop if you want to, but if you do like it..

it's as if he chases you honestly, so breathless after but so in love with the thought that you asked if he was okay with you kissing him <3

iii. ꒰ billy ꒱ ‧₊˚

ohohohoh!??!

okay he won't tease you so much.. but he will comment on how cute you are for asking such.

"babe! you don't have to ask to have a taste of this!" ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝ "i meant on your cheek but okay." ໒꒰ྀི⸝⸝- -⸝⸝꒱ྀི১

he's so honestly happy you asked, even when you know he won't feel it.

he definitely wishes he did.

so when you do he's always over the moon, always falls in love a little more.

and he's so big on physical touch, even when he can't feel it, he knows that you meant it. even the little kiss you gave him just now.

no matter how quick of a peck it was, a kiss from you, a hug from you, your touch in general has him swoon.

pls love him forever ty >_<

☁︎｡⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆ [𝟕:𝟑𝟗 𝐩.𝐦.] 𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐑𝐈 𝐘𝐔𝐔𝐉𝐈

notes: fluff, ~650 words

yuuji says "i love you" first.

he says it confidently, fierce determination shining in his eyes as he looks at you reverently. it makes you balk, almost, the idea of someone as perfect of him loving you so purely. but the dizziness you feel in your head at his words means that your heart easily overpowers any thoughts you have, so you find yourself leaning forward to press a soft kiss to his lips, earning a delighted hum from him as he links his hand with yours.

your silence doesn't bother him; he understands that those words aren't the easiest to say, especially not when the two of you are living incredibly dangerous lives. the fact that you've chosen to be with him is more than enough in his eyes, even if you feel differently.

you think that yuuji deserves the world, and you're not the only one. there's a kindness in his heart that makes yours ache, and you don't think the world actually deserves him. you idly wonder if you're even worthy of repeating those three words back to him.

but then he looks at you, eyes sparkling excitedly as he holds out a pretty flower he picked off of the sidewalk, and all your worries disappear. itadori yuuji is not a fickle person, that's something he has proven time and time again from the moment he was brought to tokyo jujutsu high.

and his loyalties lie with you, the very person who has stood by his side throughout everything that's happened since his grandfather's death.

you don't think that there are actually enough words in the world to describe itadori yuuji, or to describe the way you feel about him. he is brash and bold, leaving his mark on the world wherever he goes regardless of whether or not he's aware of that fact. he's left his mark on you as well, and you silently wonder what would happen to you if you were to ever end up in a world in which yuuji ceases to exist.

(you don't wonder what would happen if he falls out of love with you. that's impossible, he's told you that himself. and you find yourself believing him with every fiber of your being, especially when he looks at you with a stare so serious that you almost think he's been replaced by someone else.)

so you sit and watch him, smiling when his eyes light up with interest as he points out a new manga that he mentions he's been meaning to read. he's so terribly beautiful that it almost makes your heart hurt, and you realize that maybe it isn't as hard as you think to profess your love in return to the boy who seems to be sunshine incarnate.

"yuuji?" you call out softly.

"yeah?" he replies, whirling around to give you his undivided attention.

you're momentarily caught off guard by the way his hair shifts as he moves, the soft pink strands reflecting in the sunlight as he approaches you. there's a shine in his eyes that makes you grin at him, and you find yourself wondering just how far you would go to keep that same expression on his face for as long as you can. confusion floods his face when you remain silent, and you nearly swoon when he grabs your hand and pulls you in, tilting his head in a silent question as he wraps you up in a loose hug.

there's a brief pause as yuuji holds you and allows you to gather your thoughts, and your smile only widens in relief when you realize that there is no fear swirling around in your head about all the uncertainties you're certain that you'll face in the future.

and when you finally open your mouth and say those three words in return, you think that the brightness of his smile rivals that of the sun.

rbs are appreciated <3 ty for reading!!

[toxicanonymity]

Hey, this person has directly credited you as their ideas for their character bots

https://poe.com/pedroxo

[ Background: an account made AI bots of my fics and others to various extents. I had an anxiety attack quietly watching Tumblr melt down over this topic. When the dust settled, this post was the first and last I said about it to address continued inquiries. ]

unauthorized AI Bots of fics

Thank you everyone who kindly let me know about the >25 unauthorized bots using content from my fics.

Listen, I strongly relate to the desire to talk to these characters - I've said it before. I appreciate how invested someone must be to go to all this effort, and I appreciate the credit. But it's not right and I'm not comfortable with it. You may not realize what it feels like to the writer. It feels like a violation.

Unfortunately, this wasn't the first incident for me. Someone once made a bot of my fic 4 days after I publicly said not to in response to an ask. I didn't find out until it had almost 1k "chats" and you'll see I use that term very loosely under the cut.

I've said don't do this, and it's in my masterlist. I've even shared my anxiety about being so slow to update that people take matters into their own hands. I'm not really sure what else to say. I'm tired.

Please don't do this. And when you see chatbots built on fics, please alert the writers.

IMPORTANT The bots are down. I don't want the person to be harassed - i think that's obvious based on my tone from the start.

Beyond these, there were more bots from night walks, slasher, and stepdad, ones from Raider and Speakeasy and even a few from hypotheticals I published like when stepdad goes to jail for indecent exposure or when you aren't getting wet for raider joel.

Night Walks: Original, Soaked

Left in Lincoln pt. 1; jalbird

Slasher: Midnight Tow, Stop Playing

Stepdad: Clock, Ring Doorbell

Sorry I was too overwhelmed to do the IMG text on each of these but it's basically just snippets from the works listed.

After being contacted, the person copied and pasted a message to multiple writers saying they were sorry, didn't know what they were doing, were deactivating their acct. They asked to spread their message, and said have an amazing day/night.

------

Past Incident

IMGs: 1) I answered an ask August 16 saying no. The asker had "offered" to credit me. 2) August 20, someone made a bot without credit. This is worse imo and suggests trying to hide their actions.

I told a lot of people about this, but it was an isolated bot unlike the profile discovered 2/23.

IMG: comparison of left in lincoln text to the bot.IMG: A seven paragraph narrative bot output. Obviously failed my test if you've read the fic.

-----

ANYWAY

If you're not already on ao3, I recommend signing up. This isn't a threat to leave, but I may not put everything on Tumblr forever. My AO3 profile.

Edit: I like tumblr because I like answering lore and questions and getting thots, plus my blog is very multimedia with many awesome contributions from different people. Please help keep it that way, because your interaction is why I'm here. I value everyone's engagement here.

For many reasons, I'm less and less comfortable with Tumblr being the primary home for all my writing. I'm aware people can still take things from AO3, but not as easily. I'm trying to be nice by preemptively suggesting people sign up on AO3 if they want to read everything. If it's not worth the trouble to you, just don't do it.

----

Ty very much to those who have been supportive and checked on me. It means a lot. I will admit this made me put on a hat and cry in public lol.

feel free to rb this because idk if everyone realizes the extent of this or how jarring it can look.

[adelphenium]

is there a particular reason your tknp fish photo art has reblogs off? I only ask because I love it sm and wanted to rb!!

hello hello, ty for the ask!

initially i had turned off all reblogs on my np / tknp art due to the alleged np burner situation just so i could think through and process everything. while i'm still not 100% settled on my stance with relation to the "real" and the "fiction" of rpf, i've (tentatively) come to the conclusion that even as my work is tied to the public images + likenesses of these players, its value comes from the derivative nature of fan works that goes so much beyond the original individuals.

it's actually pretty funny timing that you sent this ask in when you did! i was reading some amazing tknp fic this morning that addresses how fandom community at its core works to reappropriate source material, and how that disjunct between fanon / "canon" is a troubled but necessary one.

the main thing about rpf engagement for me personally is that fic offers such a rich space for reimagination and pushing + prodding at the unsavoury bits of real life, but fanart feels more surficial. i don't quite feel comfortable depicting people whose words and actions are at such odds with my own without being able to qualify those depictions, but i also know that what we do here is meant to be messy and unorthodox and ultimately fun. while i'll oscillate between positions, i've turned reblogs back on! though as of rn, i don't plan to draw np again.

this definitely won't be a one-and-done scenario for as long as i'm in rpf circles, but i think it's an important consideration to be grappling with. thanks for sticking around if you've read this far and for liking my art!!💌💌

[eliounora]

in light of your latest rb, what is your preferred production of jesus christ superstar?? i've yet to see any but want to have fun with everyone & trust your taste on this :) ty in advance and also! i really love your art ^__^

you have come to the right neighbourhood... *puts on my pharisees hat* I am so happy to answer this question

I recommend you start with the 1996 west end revival (spotify, youtube). the insrumentation is great, the quality of the recording is crisp, and the performers are top-notch. steve balsamo as jesus is definitely the star of this one, his voice is very light and pure but he also portrays the character's inner conflict magnificently.

for comparison, there is also the original 1971 broadway cast recording (spotify, youtube). this is one of my favourite versions!

here is also the original 1972 west end production (youtube). also excellent!!!

if you actually want something to watch, there is the 1973 film (spotify, youtube, I think the film can be rented on YT as well, I borrowed the DVD from my local library haha). the film also has a magnificent cast, many people consider ted neeley the best jesus ever and he has an unique take on the role and a gorgeous voice. carl anderson as judas is also just superb. I think the best word to decribe this version is "raw", it's really haunting.

the original 1970 concept album (spotify, youtube) with ian gillan of deep purple as jesus and murray head as judas is also a must-listen! both singers are just divine, both their performances easily hold up against newer productions with ease, they're just divine.

there is also the 2000 film, watchable on youtube (the album on spotify). jerome pradon plays judas and he is absolutely glorious at it. dude is going absolutely off the rails and his voice is so whiny and he's so deliciously vindicative in the end. I've gotten the impression his performance can be sort of hit-or-miss, but I really like it!

for something more recent, there's also the 2012 arena tour (youtube) with ben forster as jesus and the legendary tim minchin as judas. a lot of people like this one, and while I personally don't like it much, maybe you will! there is also the 2018 live in concert (spotify, youtube). a solid, good production I think.

now I think every song in JCS is a solid banger, but good songs to look out for when listening is

heaven on their minds, sung by judas

everything's alright, sung primarily by mary (in many of the early productions, like the original concept album and the film, mary is played by yvonne elliman) while judas and jesus argue

this jesus must die, includes caiaphas, who has a bass voice, and annas

pilate's dream

I don't know how to love him, mary's ballad

gethsemane (I only wanted to say), jesus's power ballad. look out for his high note at "why should I die" (awesome compilation here)

king herod's song

superstar, judas questioning jesus from beyond the grave

good luck to you superstaring!!! I'm very normal about this musical

[lettucedloophole]

hi, I'm a trans feminist and I've been saddened by the lack of feminism in many of my communities. I'm wanting to follow more feminists on here but honestly it's a bit terrifying because so many people claiming to be feminists or trans inclusive are not remotely so and will throw you under the bus in the blink of an eye, if not slowly spread insidious essentialist ideas about gender that hurt everyone but especially those like me.

as a former terf (from your bio) I was wondering if you have any signs, green or red flags, for people and bloggers in particular, regarding radical feminism that may indicate some form of more subtle terf-y beliefs so I can keep an eye out from them, as typically I stay far away from terf spaces for the obvious reason that they hate me, but I've noticed there's some mixing in more rad fem spaces that can be very hard to disentangle, but I don't want that to stop me from engaging with feminism for again, obvious reasons.

also if you have any trans feminist or trans friendly feminist bloggers you'd recommend, especially transfeminine ones, that would be really cool too.

ty for your time! have a great day

hi! not gonna lie its difficult out here 😭 you're dead on that most ppl claiming to be trans-inclusive or feminists are not remotely. i follow people and then have to unfollow when they post or like something strange still ...

i would say chiefly, follow your instincts. as a trans person, especially if you're tma, if you're getting bad vibes you are probably correct. if you're not in a space to deal with bigotry then don't worry about giving the benefit of the doubt, avoiding feminism online won't revoke your feminist card but i know looking at feminism online can also be very healing when dealing with misogyny uh Everywhere so i'll give some other tips.

- the classic "look up trans on their blog before you follow." depending on what type of blog they are, it can be kind of suspicious if they never mention trans people. and then you can very easily weed out the obvious transphobes with this too.

- i would say some red flags are using the adjective "natal" (as in natal women), referring to cis women's oppression as sex-based while trans women's as. Not sex-based, and buying into "trans women are male socialized" rhetoric. this may seem kind of obvious but even if a person doing this identifies as a tirf they're revealing a clear lack in understanding of what transmisogyny is and how trans women exist in the world. this is often how people think before fully deradicalizing, but a lot of people also just begin here or never leave this mindset.

- avoid guys who talk about transandrophobia 🥶🥶 this is a specific thing bc speaking about transmasc issues in itself is obvi good and not bad but sooo many transmascs will try to pose their issues in opposition to transfems and try to do a "well but does transmisogyny exist really because i am Also tma" thing. usually these guys are gonna come out with some real fucked up talking points about trans women because they think they're oppressed by them 🙃 the term "transandrophobia" has kinda been overrun with people like that from what ive seen but ppl can use "anti-transmasculinity" and still mean the same things yk. you have to use your judgement a bit but once you're familiar with them it's easy to spot them out

- this is less of a tip and just a heads up but even blogs who themselves r trans inclusive or profess to be, or are run by a trans person, can still rb terf blogs, i probably have sometime as well though i try to avoid it and i'm not saying you have to avoid that but it's just a common thing, so if that bothers you you should look for a page that's more in the trans community or another community

- honestly the radfem tag is a cesspool and even the tirf tag can be Questionable 😔 it's going to behoove you most probably to just look for transfeminist and other sorts of patriarchy-averse individuals lmao. i looked at the transfeminism tag for the first time today (don't know why I hadn't sooner actually) and it's good! there's some stray weird posts but definitely better than the rf tag on here 💀

i would rly just recommend you check out some blogs, follow them if you think they're neat, and unfollow if you want to later on. that's generally what i do and i've followed some cool people on here from it :]

i don't have as many recommendations as i would Like to give but that's not to say there isn't transfeminists out there. they're just in their own circles. don't feel like u need to settle for terfy tirfs or antifeminists because you can find ppl you feel kinship with!!!

- i really like @taliabhattwrites ! she has a substack where she gives good insight on feminist issues, not only transmisogyny but lesbian issues as well. she also writes EPIC fiction about lesbians and trans women 🙏🙏 has taught me a lot over the years

- shey're not active rn, but i've really liked looking through @transmisogyny-explained 's blog. very informative and good to either unpack transmisogyny in yourself or perhaps help others do so.

- @leftismsideblog mostly talks about youthlib, but when she does talk about gender, they r Correct lol

- if u have a twitter, this is a must-- FOLLOW BLOOMFILTERS. they are so incredibly kind and smart and the mixing of that compassion and intelligence in a person is just bound to make Good Takes. she is an icon

i hope this can kinda help you and stay strong out there :')) it's rough but im rooting for u 💪 my asks or messages r always open if you need some help or just someone to talk to. i hope u have an awesome day too!!!

ship names tag game

ty for tagging me @vacantgodling!!! this seems fun :3c

Rules: make a list of ship names from your wip(s) (it's okay if they don't sound cool) for people to send in asks so you can talk about them! Fan ships count too if you're writing about them.

okay first, tagging: @skitzo-kero @jezifster @albatris @anexor @kk7-rbs with no pressure to any of y'all <3 and anyone else who'd like to do this! just remember to tag me. or else. (no pressure <3)

so i'm heavily fixated on bg3 if that isn't extremely obvious lmao, SO i might just share some of the key relationships involving my tav eden, the pretentious ass ship names i came up with for each one, and a brief summary of the dynamic. if any catch your eye... feel free to ask :3c

also using the ao3 convention of a / for romantic ships and a & for platonic or queerplatonic ships.

eden/wyll - handsome devils. (you find someone who finally shows you that, oh, life is worth it and you deserve the same kindness you show other people. everyone deserves to be saved, and that includes you.)

eden/astarion - loyalty in dogs. (you aren't the kind of person that others think is worth caring about. that's something you've made your peace with. it's a dog eat dog world, and you know you have to be the bigger dog to survive. unfortunately for you, it seems not everyone feels this way.)

wyll/eden/astarion - moths to a flame. (perhaps it was inevitable that you and the monster were drawn to the same star, the same bright flash of light that warms your soul and gives you hope like never before.

eden & gale - it's a wizard thing. (forsaken by the gods, you find divinity in the people around you. the only god worth your devotion is the one who stands besides you.)

eden & lae'zel - strange new worlds. (you are in a strange new place, a strange new time, and you are humbled by all you do not know. you decide to listen, and perhaps for the first time in your life, you truly learn.)

eden & karlach - self-determined determinism. (the world has given up on you, but you're not giving up on it. you believe in love, life, and justice, even if it seems most are content to leave you out of those. you will have your happy ending, even if you have to tear it from the closed fists of the gods themselves.)

eden & shadowheart - the children of lost souls. (your life is a lie, forged by the hands of people who only want to hurt you. nothing is what you thought it was, and you've lost everything you ever cared about. misery loves company, and you certainly have it in spades.)

eden/the knight - to love a fairytale. (you are haunted by the shadow of a person you'll never know, whose presence hangs over you like a funeral shroud. you mourn someone who was never alive to begin with. you want, and you want, and you want, but you don't know what.)

[lestappenforever]

Controversial opinion to send here but I think Charles re-signing with Ferrari is totally the right move for him. Here's my take:

1. We are often forgetting that this year is still tying up loose ends with the remnants of what Binotto and the old crew were up to. The crew that did not prioritize Charles, and built a car not suited to him. Our frustrations with this season are tied a lot to what was left by old management.

Halfway through the season and we can see that Fred and the newly appointed heads are making good effort and progress. The car was reworked to help Charles' driving range, and the strategy overall has improved significantly from last year. Of course, strategy under pressure vs not under pressure is still to be seen. But still overall, less terminal strategic fuckups this year.

The 2024 car and the 2024 season overall will be the first one under Fred's direction as team principal, and should be the season to judge them on, not this one, or any past seasons.

Additionally, for those who think Sainz is the problem - we're finally hearing that he's only being offered a 1 year contract. If true, this means Ferrari are prioritizing Charles, and are looking for a better #2 for him. This is exactly what a team needs to win a title, and they are building that for him. They are finally going in the right direction - let's let them give it a shot.

2. Contracts as we've seen, are not set in stone. Therefore it's good that Charles is signing until 2029. Of course we know he's talented to stay in F1 anyway, but this guarantees him a seat. And if it's a 2+3 like previously rumoured, then it means he's guaranteed a seat and he still has options to leave if he wants. And in that situation, he's probably going to be the most sought after driver on the grid, and he'll get paid even more to go to another team. It's a good business move.

3. We are severely over-romanticising the situation if Charles were to leave to RB. They might get along and avoid a brocedes situation, but battling Max on his home turf where he knows all the people, how the team runs, how the car generally works, and where the entire team treats him like their golden boy - Charles will have a tough time winning there, assuming he's more talented than Max and has the speed to begin with. And he'll have to deliver on his very first season there, because new regulations are approaching and there's no guarantee RB will be good in 2026. Coming into a new team and winning a championship immediately? Nearly unheard of. As shitty as we may think Ferrari is, they have the best and only shot at beating RB these days.

4. Charles is not an idiot. We are outsiders who just see him as the Ferrari boy with a dream, but he obviously cares a lot about winning, and winning championships. He is unhappy unless he's winning, despite being in his dream team. We joke about him being brainwashed or being delusional about Ferrari, but we don't know him personally. Even so, I'd bet if you asked him would you rather win a WDC not at Ferrari, or never win a WDC but be a Ferrari career driver? He'd pick the former. If we know anything about Charles, it's that he is an insanely competitive person. He wants to win above all. Therefore, if he's re-signing with Ferrari, it's because he's seen the proof of the future project, or he knows that Ferrari is his best and only shot at a title. He knows more inside info than we do. I'm sure him and his management have done their research and made the appropriate decision.

Of course I understand the frustrations and it's easy to think he'd be better off if he left - but I really don't think there's a better team out there for him. Do I love Ferrari? Not as often as I'd like to. But do I think Charles should go elsewhere? No. And it's not his fault - the grid has some very talented drivers and unfortunately the other top seats are already taken. No matter what you think about Ferrari, this is still a top 3 team. Literally half the grid would probably jump at the chance to drive for Ferrari. At the end of the day, I still think it's the best option out there for Charles.

An interesting take, without a doubt, anon, and I definitely see where you’re coming from!

It's not a take that I agree with, having watched Ferrari fail time and time again for so many years, but that’s the beauty of having different opinions, and I love seeing different opinions from different people. So I'm very glad you decided to share your thoughts, and I don’t find it controversial at all. ❤️

don't know if you remember the edgy ask meme but i only just remembered to rb it off so you um. 12 and 21 for dez and francis? :^)

i doooo remember!! and ty for asking :3

12. Is your OC self-destructive? In what ways?

both of them are! except Francis is far more self destructive due to her…issues…Dez is self destructive in the sense of self sabotage: he can be self derogatory, change himself to please others, but he also sometimes…hits himself. destructive behavior is all very centered around himself

meanwhile Francis? has attempted suicide an untold number of times, she’s an alcoholic who sometimes uses drugs, tears her face/skin off when she spirals, engages in super aggressive/violent behavior that pushes people away, etc etc. she's constantly self sabotaging her relationships with people and how they view her as a psychological shield of sorts…she’s a mess

21. Does your OC have any illnesses or disorders? How do they handle it?

Desmond and Frank both have undiagnosed disorders, and neither of them can really gauge what’s going on with themselves due to the state of…everything (mental health in the world of SE is very Not Good and kinda Shit)

Dez has adhd, is on the autism spectrum, and suffers from CEN- he doesn’t really handle all this? he just kinda “masks” without knowing it and shoves a lot of things down which ofc never turns out well…he thinks he’s weird and a creep cuz of how people have treated him throughout his life and he doesn’t really know how to handle that, so he does his best to ignore it. He has a shit ton of anger issues that he also ignores, never goes down well when he explodes. He also has something equivalent to nerve damage in his hands that causes all kinds of pain and aches- massaging them seems to help but Desmond doesn’t really seek help from doctors due to how aggressive his dad tends to get at them :(

Francis is harder to pin down; she’s not human so i can’t really say WHAT she has as i’m a bit iffy abt diagnosing her, but it’s a strong combination of adhd, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, sociopathy, panic/anxiety disorder, dissociative amnesia, and alcoholism. she doesn’t handle this at ALL tbh and just tends to self medicate through alcohol and sometimes drugs, or does outwardly destructive behaviors (blowing shit up, setting stuff on fire, attacking random people, etc etc)
