#so i really have no idea how they would behave in a difficult situation like that

[kradogsrats]

Do you think Ghosting could be sort of like shunning in some religious communities…?

I think that's almost definitely what inspired it! Which kind of says a lot about Moonshadow society since groups that practice shunning tend to hit a lot of the markers for what defines a cult. :|

One possible difference that would be really significant is how compulsory everyone in a community participating in the Ghosting is—shunning doesn't work if only some people do it, the point is that the target loses their entire community. Generally AFAIK anyone who doesn't participate in the shunning winds up shunned, themselves. That's one of the more cult-like aspects of it.

Rayla initially believes that surely Ethari wouldn't have gone through with Ghosting her, which could go either way: it may be just be wishful thinking that he would defy the entire community for her, or he and Runaan may have refused to participate in Ghosting Tiadrin and Lain (see below) so she believes he will do so again. Tylluan's community also uniformly ghosted them—the person who replaced them as a leader was a close friend of theirs, and while she's generally sympathetic to them, she also refuses to discuss them in public or otherwise indicate that she supports their plan to save the town. So there is at least a little bit of that aspect to it, with social pressure to not speak about people who were Ghosted, but maybe that also means that the actual magical part is voluntary? I don't know. It's kind of unclear.

But with regard to that... by how we've seen Ghosting applied, it would be logical that Tiadrin and Lain were almost definitely Ghosted. Which means that if participating in the Ghosting is compulsory, Rayla has almost definitely Ghosted her own parents, which will cause a very fun(tm) moment when they are released from the coins. If it's not compulsory (like maybe you can get a "conscientious objector" exception if you're otherwise a sufficiently established community member) I think it's likely that Ethari, at least, did not participate. Runaan's a bit of an open question on that for me, and it probably would come down to either whether or not he actually believes Tiadrin and Lain would be even capable of abandoning their posts or Ethari demanding he not do it. And then if either of them refused, I very much doubt they would have allowed Rayla to do it. (Assuming they could prevent her, which... I was going to say obviously the guardian of a minor would have be involved in that decision, BUT Rayla is apparently culturally considered old enough to die on a mission into enemy territory to assassinate a heavily-guarded major political figure, SO YEAH.) But I think the question of whether or not she would have voluntarily is an interesting one—was Ghosting her parents an effect of her destructive attitude toward them (and herself), or was NOT Ghosting them part of its cause?

Ur bully au is so good I could slurp it up but it got me wondering

How would all the students react to the reader just. trying to kill themselves because of the endless torment? would they keep harassing? would they say something about it? or would they tone it down? I must know because If I was in that situation i know damn well unaliving myself would be the first option

There’s more than one asking but ima just get this over with

tw. yandere, attempted suicide, suicide, cutting, bully!characters, mentioned torture, humiliation, blood, slight gore, neglection, fucked up reader (deadass).

Here are some thoughts and reactions bellow!

When asking, what role does this character do in this so called ‘bully!au’? You have to look at a deeper perspective of how each person behaves, what the intention is, and how it’s done.

So when the subject of suicide is involved it can get confusing depending on what caused it. Self worth is hinted in the reader, insecurities are brought and laughed at because it needs to hit a spot. Because YOU have feelings, watching it be stripped by people in far greater power than you, people with money, influence, and within number. Standing up to a bully is difficult, the struggles you go through should’ve been realistic.

When push comes to shove, they’re not all coming for you. If you enjoy the idea of every character ruining your life— that’s fine— but, it’s usually one or three. I think it’s childish, when I first made this AU, some sort of amusement in finding hurt but comfort when writing, they’re not trying to kill you, you know. You just catch their eye, more than they could like. Rejection is one thing, but another is a fair game of a sadistic approach. Whether they verbally or physically abuse you is up to place bets on what kills you.

For NRC years, yes, they constantly nagged and followed you around. But the times they would actively seek you out would be less than you think, the focus on bullying would be isolation. They don’t have to hurt you everyday. Some time for yourself to heal and think over your situation. What would you eat? Would they play nice and ignore you for tonight? Did your look piss off someone from afar? Let them cheat off you! Don’t be such a bore, it’ll all go back to just you and Grim.

If you picked up self harming, it’s noticeable. Hiding it is nearly impossible. They grab and bite at you already so what makes you think hiding was a good idea? It’s nasty and unplanned, miss them? Miss their touch that you havta recreate it? It’s horrible to mention, but caring really depends on who calls you out.

I can say you like it. Or you fucking hate it. You hate, hateee, how they treat you. You crawl on all fours for them to laugh and pat your head, do a dare and lick off from their hand but money is involved.

What did you do, was it simple, messy, perfect headshot if you will. If your need to die was to simply hurt them in any way— it might work. Poor them, they can’t imagine being away from you for too long. Some are more uninterested than the others. Who gives a shit you died? Whoever had the luck of finding you, dead or in the act, serves a purpose of letting you live or die. Cruel as they may be, you tug at a couple of heart strings.

Let’s say it was an attempt:

Sprang into action, either holding you down or taking whatever object you’re using to harm yourself. They’re gonna make sure this doesn’t happen again, you gave them quite the spook. Have fun being watched 24/7, and if they couldn’t, everything will be baby proofed for your safety, isn’t that nice, they care. Thrash all you want, screaming and crying won’t get you anywhere, but they’ll bite their tongue once and a while to prevent this from happening.

Trey, Riddle, Azul, Vil, Jack, Deuce, Sebek,

Oohh…he’s so sorry. Please forgive him, crying on his knees and rubbing his head against your chest. It doesn’t matter if the blood stains his clothes, you nearly died and he feels awful. He promises so many times for harm to look the other way, twisted, yet unavoidable. Trapped in a tight, monitored schedule were his scent and voice is all you’ll ever need. But at least there’s a change of heart, your health is improving and that’s all that matters to him, but speak to him, he wants to hear you.

Silver, Malleus, Kalim

Should he have stopped you, but what good will it do for him? Frozen in the moment, their bodies do the thinking, rational, to prevent you from escaping them. You’re funny, reaaal funny, got good jokes at time. But, he’s not really laughing. A little, but it’s hysterically funny and scary. Because he’s still so rough, even when he apologizes yet calls you stupid, his fingers hurt you more than whatever you had planned, gripping, as if you really died.

Jamil, Ace, Cater, Ruggie, Leona, Idia, Floyd, Epel

Does it hurt? Did you find your ulna? Was the rope too tight? It feels like he’s only here to see the end credits, the finale. The sick fuck is smiling too, gross. Giving up just leaves you with him by your side, pressing it deeper to help you get the job done…just kidding! That was quite a show you put on, this is why he likes you. Being responsible of another’s cause of death isn’t ideal, so he’ll try to watch you as of now.

Lilia, Rook, Jade

From that list alone you can guess who’s to mourn, and who savors what is left. Death is inevitable. Everyone dies one way.

kinda specific but any opinions or ideas fpr pet whump like this-

Whumpee knows very little english, their first language(s) are far from being similar to english, Whumper speaks to them in english and commands them in english but Whumpee cant understand and it makes them feel even more lkke a dog :3

Sorry this took so long. I really like this idea, and I think I've written into it a couple of times in the past. Thankyou for the request, I hope you enjoy the story.

"Whumpee food", Whumper called from the kitchen, and shook the dish.

Whumpee lifted their head from resting on the floor. They had no idea what the stranger in the kitchen was calling for, but learned the hard way that they needed to come when called.

Whumpee quickly peaked into the kitchen and looked around. They noticed a bowl had been set next to where they were served water.

Something Whumpee thought was a weird custom here.

Whumper looked back and saw that Whumpee was standing.

"Down", they ordered while pointing at the floor.

Whumpee frowned but got down into a crawling stance.

"Good", Whumper nodded, "come here, and sit."

Whumpee winced as they crawled forward, this was beginning to be quite painful.

They seemed so interested in having Whumpee as some sort of pet. They remembered being stuffed into some pet carrier while on a trip with their family to the America's.... now, a few months later, they were here.

Where exactly here was Whumpee had no idea. They remembered a lot of traveling, a lot of being in the trunk of vehicles until they were brought here.

Whumpee knew this person had tried to explain what was going on, and they may have seemed a little frustrated that Whumpee couldn't understand English.

Whumpee inched closer to where the person pointed on the floor. They sat down awkwardly and looked up. They were trying their best to behave. Hoping that would help them possibly get out of the situation. It seemed hopeless to escape sometimes.

Whumpee wouldn't even know where to go, how to do it. Who to go to. This wasn't their home, they had no idea. They couldn't even speak the language.

"Go ahead and eat", Whumper pointed at the bowl.

Whumpee cocked their head to the side with a confused expression.

Whumper sighed, and gently lowered Whumpee's head to the dish.

Whumpee was stiff at first, but understood at last to eat.

Whumper watched as Whumpee crawled past and laid down in front of the big window. Their body turned away from Whumper.

Whumper sighed, "this was already going to be hard for you to get use to. Now it's worse because you have no idea what I'm saying. I don't want to hurt you at all. Besides training, I want you to feel safe here. It's kind of hard to do that when a strange person is speaking gibberish all of the time."

Whumpee had a feeling the strange person was talking about them. They continued to stare out the window though.

Late in the evening Whumper sat on the couch reading a book.

Whumpee took some comfort in the tiny whispers of Whumper reading under their breath.

They wondered if the book was good, they figured it had to be if someone was willingly reading it.

They looked back at Whumper quietly.

Whumper noticed the movement and looked up.

"Yes, are you okay?", Whumper smiled, "do you want to hear some of this?"

Whumpee nervously looked down.

Whumper sighed as they watched.

Finally they decided.

Whumper got up from the couch and walked to Whumpee.

Whumpee got up as well to try to get away from them.

Whumper lowered themself to the floor by where Whumpee was laying and showed them the book.

Whumpee awkwardly looked at the book, then at Whumper, then the book again.

"You can look at it. I know you don't understand it, but....", Whumper sighed, "I know this all so difficult. Wasn't exactly what I was planning when I ordered for a human pet on the dark web. I guess that's karma for this situation."

Whumper clicked their tongue on the rough if their mouth, "I guess we're stuck with each other. I don't know where you're from and how exactly you were brought to me. I can't just take you to the police and tell them I bought you, but need to return you... that would be my one way ticket to jail."

Whumpee was looking over the page that Whumper was showing them.

"You seem pretty interested in this book", Whumper watched, "well I guess you need to learn English first, and maybe it would be good for me to learn some of your language. Though I have no idea what that is."

Whumper watched for a few more minutes before they called it a night.

Whumpee woke up to someone shaking them.

They jumped when they saw Whumper kneeling beside them.

"Come here", Whumper beckoned with a grin.

Whumpee followed cautiously 9nce they figured out what Whumper wanted them to do.

They were led to a computer, and they noticed a map of the world had been pulled up.

Whumper poked the screen a few times.

Whumpee nodded, maybe just maybe they were asking where Whumpee was from.

Whumpee looked at the map for a few seconds before finally backing out of the map, and going on the search bar.

Whumper watched as Whumpee slowly clicked the keys to type in their country.

The look on Whumpee's face was quite humorous. Their tongue stuck out to the side as they concentrated.

Finally something came up that Whumpee seemed to recognize: a country's flag.

Whumpee then tapped the screen.

Whumper clicked on it and the flag was pulled up.

"You're from here", Whumper pointed at Whumpee, then at the screen.

Whumpee quickly nodded. They looked at the screen in excitement.

'Finally something familiar to me', Whumpee thought to themself as they scrolled the information.

Whumper seemed to understand and let them look for a few minutes. They could see that familiar images had brought relief to Whumpee. Tears flooded down Whumpee's cheeks.

Whumper had noticed some videos and took control of the computer to click on it.

The video started to talk in English, then said something in a foreign language.

Whumpee excitedly leaned closer to the computer after hearing it.

"Ah, so that's how you feel listening to me", Whumper smirked.

Whumpee said something in their language.

It sounded sad to Whumper.

Whumper decided to look into it. Within a few days some boxes were delivered to the house.

Whumpee shyly watched from the window as Whumper sat down.

Whumper patted the floor next to them to see if Whumpee would come over.

Whumpee had grown a little more comfortable with the stranger. They seemed not to want to harm them to much. Really punishments only came during training.

Whumper also found an app that could translate somewhat well for them.

Whumpee had a little more of an understanding of what was happening. They didn't like this idea of being a pet, but figured they were stuck now. At least until they managed to make a run for it.

Whumper opened one of the boxes and pulled out a few items. They unwrapped one of the items.

Whumpee's eyes went wide as they saw it.

A small version of their country's flag.

Whumper grinned as they handed it to Whumpee.

Whumpee cuddled it close, then saw Whumper pull out a stuffed toy with their flags colors.

Whumpee cuddled them close and lightly sobbed.

Another box was opened.

Whumper pulled out a few books.

"English and your language dictionary. How to teach English to your language. Your language for idiots... that's for me", Whumper chuckled, "I wanted you to learn English, but maybe a few special commands in your language would be fun. Just don't laugh if I say it wrong."

Whumper opened the dictionary and turned to a random word and said it loud.

Whumpee looked up in surprise.

"Oh you like that do you?", Whumper chuckled, "now what exactly did I say", Whumper looked at the book again.

"Oh, that's the word for fruit... cool. You like fruit so that's helpful', Whumper grinned.

They turned the book to the English section and handed it to Whumpee, "now you try."

Whumpee took a little more time deciding on what they wanted to say. They studied the definitions carefully. It felt good to read in their own language.

"Sto...stolen", Whumpee whispered.

Whumper's heart sank, of course that was the word they'd select.

Whumper took the book away and turned to the word adopted.

Whumpee looked at the word that Whumper pointed at.

Whumpee shook their head in disagreement.

"Alright we're done with that for a little while", Whumper sighed.

The last box Whumper opened also had a few books.

Whumpee looked them over as Whumper handed them.

They looked excitedly at one.

"Oh, that one caught your interest", Whumper grinned.

Whumpee looked up, then eyed the dictionary.

Whumper handed the book over and watched Whumpee glim through the pages. They found one page and pointed to a word for Whumper.

"Favorite?", Whumper said it out loud.

Whumpee nodded and took the book back and started to scroll the pages.

They held another word up for Whumper.

"Childhood", Whumper nodded, "oh this was a favorite of yours during childhood. It was one of the popular ones I found.

For the rest of the day Whumper scrolled the books on learning the language and teaching English. Whumpee happily layer on the floor beside them looking at the books and saying random English words they had found in the dictionary.

Whumper chuckled at a few of the words.

Whumper vowed that day that Whumpee would have to learn some English and they would have to learn some of Whumpee's language. Their was no other way around it,  and it was only fair to the both of them.

Taglist. As always please let me know if you want to be added or taken off of the list. It's not a problem at all.

Risotto’s physique isn’t meant for running. He's too heavy, and big, it makes him slow- but he can work for extended periods of time without any fatigue.

He hates the idea of playing chase with you. Risotto understands that you have a lot of energy and need to get it out, but he'd rather not spend an entire morning trying to wrangle you. You can probably wiggle your way around him for a while, especially if you have any sort of prior training, but once Risotto has a proper hold on you, it's over.

Risotto's grip is firm, although loving. He doesn't intend to hurt his darling. Think of it like restraining a cat that needs their nails trimmed. You're not getting away, this is for your own good, but the intention isn't to hold so tightly that it hurts.

If Risotto is slow, how can he catch his darling if he finds himself interested in someone that does some kind of running sport or agility training? There's advantages and disadvantages depending on the type of running his darling is used to- he can tucker out a short distance runner, but can he close the gap between himself and a long distance runner?

Risotto may be slow, but he's steady; Risotto thrives in endurance and stamina. You can run, sure, but can you last? Long distance runners typically don't sprint for an entire marathon- it's about pacing yourself. Sure, you can sprint for some portions, but eventually your body is going to demand a break. Long distance running is quite literally all about stamina, but running (a minimum of) 3 km / 1.9 mi is different from being chased by a 203 cm / 6'8" man for however long it takes.

There's an easy way out of this, but he doesn't want to use his stand to catch you. Metallica is painful- why would you use a trap to catch a rabbit when you want it as a pet, not food? Risotto's gentle nature forbids him from directly harming his darling, but he has no issue with restraining them. Some animals instinctively submit when you touch them a certain way- will you calm down if his hand is on your throat? Around your wrists? No, no, he shouldn't, he doesn't want to frighten you off, the second you view him as a predator, he's done for. You'll never trust him.

So this game you keep playing- chase, he calls it- is majorly stressing him out. He doesn't want to follow behind you like a wolf would, but if his sweet, little doe insists on playing this game, he has no choice but to play along.

He won't discipline you. He spoils you in that sense- you get away with bad behavior because he can't bring himself to raise a hand against you, or really scold you, or even lightly tap your wrist. He gave Prosciutto the responsibility of disciplining the rest of the team because he wants nothing to do with that- but his darling isn't a team member, and he refuses to give your care to someone else, so it puts him in a difficult situation. How can he punish you when he understands that you're only behaving this way out of fear?

He guesses there's nothing he can do but humor you. He always catches you, and he'd find you if you were to slip away, so it's fine. That doesn't mean it's any less stressful for him, but he'll keep doing it and will take more precautions when he brings you back home.

Risotto's physique is good for a lot of things (namely the ability to haul heavy objects for long periods of time), but it isn't perfectly well-rounded. He has good mobility, endurance, strength, and coordination- but isn't very flexible. Perhaps it's a personal bias of mine, but when I imagine men with Risotto's physique, I typically don't think of flexibility as being their strongest point.

Flexibility isn't something Risotto thinks about often- he doesn't need to be flexible to protect you. You cannot push his legs back without him making that needy, initially uncomfortable expression- but he lets you anyway, as long as you’re happy. Truthfully, Risotto would prefer to service you, but he gets off on you using him freely. It makes him feel wanted. Not that he’d ever say that- he’s terribly shy.

After all, it’s a bit hard to tell someone “I want you to think of me as your sex toy sometimes.” It certainly isn’t romantic- and Risotto would prefer to keep things romantic. He’ll keep it to himself, for now.

Headcanons for the Sparda boys and V with a s/o that got turned into a demon? (As for how: My best guess is something like the Ascension ceremony from DMC4.)

Reader shows up to the Devil May Cry one day after healing from a cooking related injury (burned hand, knife slipped and cut them, whatever), because they were kinda hoping the people at Devil May Cry could help. They'd probably be hesitant to tell anyone they're a demon right out- if that's even what they are, because they're not really sure themselves- but the lads could probably piece it together. Or just sense/smell the other demon nearby. Reader probably just thinks the shop and the shop employees stink, but if trying to be polite about it.

Not sure if humans/human blood would smell tasty to a new demon, but maybe? If so, that's another horrifying change they'd have to deal with and ask for help on.

Very interesting concept, hope I did it justice. Enjoy!

Sparda boys + V X Demon!Reader headcannons

¤ Dante ¤

-Your transformation was relatively recent, but terrifying. You'd managed to keep it a secret from everyone since the day you discovered your sudden change, but coping on your own was hard.

-You were constantly anxious about hurting the others unexpectedly, as demons are known to do, and couldn't concentrate on most of your tasks.

-You ended up burning your hand on the stove one night while trying to heat up some dinner, and in your panic, decided to head to Devil May Cry to see if someone could help you.

-At the same time, you hoped someone would notice your situation and help you out, though how could they? You had no physical changes, just internal ones.

-When you set foot into Devil May Cry, your heightened sense of smell caught the scent of something oddly appealing. You had no idea what it was, or why it smelled so good, but it did, and following the scent led you to the staff.

-The girls didn't think anything of it and assumed you were just disoriented because of your burn, but the boys--Dante specifically, noticed your behavior and thought it was weird that you were behaving the same way as demons did when they were tracking their prey.

-After your burn was dressed, he pulled you aside to ask you if anything was wrong. The concern in his eyes as well as the unusually grim timbre of his voice proved that he knew something was wrong. There was no other choice than to come clean.

-And so you revealed your secret, explaining how you'd been forced to take part in some sort of dark ritual whose side effects manifested days later. You broke down in tears, sobbing over your changed state, expressing your worries that you'd never be able to turn back.

-Dante took your hands and pulled you into his chest, pressing kisses to your head as he assured you everything would be fine. He'd help you find a cure, no matter what it took.

-He told you that no matter what you turned into, he'd still love you, and he'd be more than happy to offer up some of his blood if you need to feed, as some species of demons do.

■ Vergil ■

-The day you noticed your transformation, which came in the form of scales breaking out all over your body, as well as sharp fangs that replaced several of your teeth.

-You tried to hide it, but Vergil was a very observant man. He knew something was wrong, but chose not to say anything because he wanted you to come to him on his own. Also, there was a chance it was just you being moody, in which case, he didn't want to get involved.

-Your scales soon spread to your hands, making it hard for you to feel things with your palms and fingers. This made chopping food with knives very difficult because you couldn't feel the knife or the food in your hands.

-At one point the knife slipped, cutting the back of your hand. Swearing like a sailor, you bundled your hand up in a rag and stumbled off to Devil May Cry for someone to heal the injury.

-The moment you got there, you smelled something awful. It was worse than rotting food; it was beyond putrid. Just what was that smell?!

-Then you walked into the kitchen, where everyone was gathered at the time, and the smell got worse. It quickly became apparent that the smell was coming from the staff.

-While the girls helped fix up your wound, you did your best to keep your disgust from being expressed upon your face. Despite your best efforts, Vergil noticed that something was definitely wrong with you.

-He approached you, hoping to inquire about your strange behavior, but the proximity between the two of you resulted in the horrible smell getting worse, untill it was too much to bear.

-You started coughing and gagging, your hands flying up to clutch your throat. When Vergil saw the scales on your hands, he instantly realized what was wrong with you.

-He immediately stepped back into the next room and spoke to you from afar. You confessed, begrudgingly, that you'd been turned into a demon somehow and that you were able to smell human blood, which was disgusting. You expressed your fear and discomfort, to which Vergil assured you he would find a cure.

-In the meantime, your task would be figuring out how to grow accustomed to your demonic sense of smell--and the stinkiness of human blood.

□ Nero □

-Nero was actually present when you turned during the ceremony, and therefore was more involved when the aftershocks began to surface.

-You grew a tail, your eyes changed color, and your pupils dilated to slits. You also became noticeably more hungry for raw meat.

-Nero started to freak out over your erratic behavior and was very reluctant to leave you alone, but you insisted, and so he complied.

-Unfortunately, Nero's fears became more justified after he learned you tried to grab a steak off a steaming hot frying pan, burning your whole hand in the process.

-When you reached Devil May Cry to ask him to patch up your burnt hand, you smelled the unmistakable, extremely appetizing scent of human blood.

-Had Nero not been physically holding you back, you might have leaped forward and tried to devour everyone in the shop.

-After tying you down to a chair and dressing your burns, Nero made a vow to search for a cure for you as soon as possible--before the transformation got any worse and turned you into a full on, bloodthirsty demon.

-He would be gone for a long, long time, leading you to lock yourself inside your own home and give Nero the only key so you couldn't break out and wreak havoc while he was away.

-The next few months, or maybe years, would be trying times, but the both of you were strong--you'd get through this, no doubt about it.

● V ●

-When you noticed your transformation, it was already too late. You suffered from violent muscle spasms, headaches, and pain in your joints as a result of the dramatic changes your body was undergoing.

-You never reached out to anyone, especially V, because you had no idea what was happening to you.

-You were afraid, and feared dragging anyone else, including your beloved, into your problems.

-Sadly, your body had other plans. It decided to force you to undergo a seizure in the middle of your kitchen, during which you temporarily sprouted an extra limb. All the flailing and trashing you were doing caused you to bash several of your body parts against the counteracts, hard.

-By the time the seizure was over, you were throughly and entirely bruised.

-Casting aside your pride, you dragged yourself to Devil May Cry to reluctantly ask someone to bandage your aching limbs.

-It was there where you ran into V, who noticed your bruises and exhausted appearance, which made him worry. He pulled you aside, pressed ice packs to your aching bones, and gently requested you tell him what was wrong.

-It took a lot of convincing, but V managed to get you to confess your issues. You explained how something was making your body change, and with teary eyes, described the pain you went through because of it.

-V had no idea why this was happening to you, but he was sure you two would figure things out together. The first step was to deduce what was afflicting you, then, to find the cure.

Hello again! It's the same anon that asked about the situation where they would kidnap you from before.

How are you today?

(Feel free to ignore or just answer only a few of the questions!)

1.) Is this a heat of the moment choice or something they would plan in advance?

2.) Would this option be something they both agree with, or would one of them be against it?

3.) What method would they choose to kidnap you, and how would they restrain you?

4.) How would they react with us behaving hostile, acting indifferent as if it's a normal situation, reacting scared, or giving them the silent treatment when captive?

5.) How would they react if our will just breaks while captive?

6.) If we escaped, how fast would they find us, and how would both react if we return as if nothing happened?

7.) Can we gain their trust to get freedom again? And how would they react if we tried to escape from them again after gaining their trust if so?

(Can I be "✨🐇" anon, in case I ask anymore questions in the future?)

(Also, sorry for bombarding you with so many questions. I didn't want to spam you with so many, so I put them in one ask.)

Thank you for responding before! I enjoy yandere trope characters for the horror element because of how scary I find them the obsessive and possessive traits (especially the last one). I really like how your character gave me the spooks, but still, how sweet both can be at times! They make me want to learn everything I can about them.

Also, I had no idea about the spider plant at the time when playing, so I got extremely spooked by it/them!

I hope you have a great day/night!

Hi! I'm doing well. And oh boy, this is gonna be fun.

1.) This is something a crazed Keith would do spontaneously. He feels like there's no other way to keep you beside him, so he must use force. If he felt like he had time to plan it, he would. But when he's in this state, he's even more anxious than usual, so he might not wanna wait.

2.) Tenebris would be against it. He's not the type to force people to love him. If he ever managed to force his way out, he'd try to stop Keith or help you escape.

3.) He'd put a sedative in your drink, borrow a car from his parents and take you out to their vacation home, out in the mountains.

4.) If you were hostile, he'd act act sad and keep repeating that all he wants is for you to love him. If you were indifferent or silent, he'd act guilty and anxious. If you were scared, he'd be very doting and sweet to make you feel at ease.

5.) He'd be happy while he's in his crazed state, but once he snapped out of it, he'd hate himself.

6.) He would find you very fast, because as long as you're in the game, he can always know where you are. But if you managed to make it difficult and then simply returned, he'd snap out of his crazy state and start crying and begging for your forgiveness.

7.) If you acted nice enough, he'd eventually return to normal and let you go. If you tried to leave him again, the whole thing would repeat.

I'm glad you've been enjoying the horror aspects of my game! These two do tend to be sweeter than your average yandere, but they still have their messed up episodes.

I will never understand how judgmental people are, from the annoyed and confused looks I get when ordering food (I am a very selective eater and order things without sauce and vegetables most of the time) to the comments I hear my mom make about my sisters friends “oh yeah she would barely talk to me and froze when I asked her about food so I kept asking it was really weird” Okay and?

It’s not hurting them, it’s barely even affecting them so I have no idea why they care.

Let people eat what they want or not eat, a lot of people have complex relationships with food and pushing or judging them isn’t going to help. And this is just one example but there are so many, especially with disability related things (or at least things that could be disability related) that I see in my life, often they’re things that I have done to people as well.

“They didn’t even say hi or make eye contact!” about a stranger “So what? I do that” “no you’re different” etc.

But I’m not different you just don’t see that side of me or know me well enough to excuse it.

It’s the same kind of energy I get when I sit in an accessible seat as an eighteen year old who doesn’t appear disabled.

Like if I see someone behaving ‘weirdly’ in public I don’t wonder what’s wrong with them or try to avoid them I wonder if they’re overstimulated or have some kind of trauma or something that makes the environment difficult for them.

If someone is short to me or not overly talkative in a customer service situation as long as they’re not actually rude I just assume they’re having a bad day and I don’t understand why this is so hard for other people. It’s like they forget that everyone else has a life and experience as complex and challenging as their own.

And maybe a majority of the people I am kind toward or who I give the benefit of the doubt to are actually just being rude or judgmental or generally not being very nice/respectful but that’s not who I want to be.

I’d rather give the benefit of the doubt to 99 people that didn’t deserve it than judge or harass one person who did because when you’re the one struggling that does so much harm.

Honestly just be kind and leave people alone, they probably don’t deserve the intention and harassment you’re assigning to them and even if they do that’s not your place to decide if they haven’t done anything to you.

You aren’t doing anyone a service you’re wasting energy judging and harassing people who are just trying to live their lives.

I just really wish more people could be kind.

Hello, how are you? Now that you clarified my doubt I can place my order hehe. I would like to request for Buddha, Jack, Zero and Tesla with a reader who is a great empress/queen who is very powerful and respected but also very shy and distracted, a little bird is able to take her attention 100% (a little ADHD lol). thank you dear

Shy and easily distracted Royalty!S/O

[ HEADCANONS ] [ Buddha, Jack, Zerofuku, Tesla ]

[ Records of Ragnarok / Shuumatsu no Valkyrie ]

Dear annon I LOVED YOUR IDEA!! It was so funny to write! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did

Also i don't know much about ADHD so i didn't especify it like that, and I always try to keep it as GN

Buddha

It was really surprising seen the one who leave everything behind with a partner with a great title, but what really matter is that you two love each other. Buddha will never force you to leave everything like he did, but the invitation is always there

He was used to be from royalty, he know how to proper behave as such, but you never going to make him actually do it, he leave that a long time ago and he's not going back

Also, for him your title doesn't really matter, he's respectful but will always treat you as an equal

He is always messing with your servants and even with your bodyguards, specially if he make you laugh with it

He get easily in trouble for not behaving or distracting you, but you always help him get away with it, just a word from you and he's free and even receiving an apologize from who where scolding him (and he find this really atractive, whenever you do something like this he feels as falling in love with you again)

He find pretty hilarious than with such title you're actually really shy, but he loves it, teasing you and making you blush is his favorite hobby

Also, Buddha is really affectionate, always expresing his love for you (with physical affection or words) not caring if you two are alone or not, this man doesn't really have shame and doesn't care either

He find quite funny that is so easy to distract you, this man for sure will be distracting you all the time, except for when you're doing something really important, in those moments he will even help you concentrate (just because he wants you to finish soon)

He always finds ways to drag you away from work, especially when he sees you stressed or overworked

If you're the energetic type is really easy for him keeping up with you and to match your energy, and that makes the servants' work more difficult, but both of you had fun

You're really important for him and he will hate for you to forget about yourself in order to bring happiness to your people (like Jataka did), so he will always make sure you're taking care of yourself, your happiness come first

Jack the Ripper

He never thought he will end dating someone from the royalty, but he wouldn't trade you for anything either. The tittle doesn't really matter to him, but is respectful of it

Jack is a gentelman and know pretty well how to behave in formal situations, in case he doesn't know something he won't have problem to learn it rather quick

He gladly learn about your work to be able to help you out whenever you need it, and that means more opportunities to spend time with you

Your shyness amused him, he find it really cute and won't miss an oportunity to tease you about it, he just love all your expresions. Also if you have troubles with social interaction he doesn't have problem speaking for you if you want

Jack is really affectionate and caring, always showing you his love for you but more by words of afirmation and acts of service (but if you prefer physical affection he won't mind)

Other thing he find amusing is how easily you get distracted, he always laugh at how in a moment you were just doing work and in the other your fully attention in anything else

Jack will always encoure your behavior, unless you have to do something really important, in those cases he always manage to keep your attention in your work (at least until you finish it)

He's not really a energetic person, but if you are he won't mind follow you in your little adventures, most of the time just watch you (he loves it)

The servants and your people are already used to your behavior and they are respectful of it, but in case someone dare to make a bad comment about you Jack will take care of it himself

The servants see him as a perfect partner since he's always helping you with everything and looking after your well-being, he never get problems with them, and even make things easier for them

Jack always makes sure you never get too stressed or overworked, but in case happen he's ready to help you, either distracting you or helping you relax

Even if you have all the luxury you can ever ask for, Jack is always giving you gifts, significant for both!

Zerofuku

Zerofuku is someone who's used to being ignored or leave behind, so he really feel lucky that you love him and want to be with him, and with the fact that you have a lot of power, being able to be with anyone you wanted and still you want him, make him feel so special (and flustered too)

He barely know about royalty or titles so that fact doesn't matter much to him, he just loves you for who you are! But the fact that you have a lot of people at your service actually intimidates him a little

He is a little shy when it comes to affection, so in that part your relationship will grow slowly

Zerofuku is a kind soul and will sadden him if you or one of your servants is treaten badly, he always treat everyone with respect

He is always distracting you without even noticing, he's always following you around and asking you a lot of things (he's really curious), so both of you always end up deviating from the main topic

If you're energetic or have dificult to stay still Zerofuku doesn't really see anything bad about it, and, since he is a little childish, he's always inviting you over to do other things like go and run have a walk around the garden, climbing trees and having little adventures. The servants will have to catch you to make you go to attent your responsabilities

Sometimes he gets scolded by the servants for distract you so much, but, again, it just take a word from you to leave him, at the end Zerofuku always apologize to you and the servants

With time Zerofuku will learn more about humans and your work too, and he may even try to help you sometimes

He's always looking after your well-being, for him your happiness is more important that all your responsabilities, and if he has to take care of you himself he'll do (he doesn't mind)

Whenever he sees you getting too stressed or overworked he try to help you out, mostly distracting you from work

He is more curious than anything to all the luxury you have, like the jewelry and fine clothes, for what do you use it and why? He may even try put it on just for fun (if you let him)

Nikola Tesla

Tesla doesn't really care about the title, he just love you for who you are, but he find it rather interesting

He doesn't really know how to behave in formal situations, but he doesn't really care (he just try to stay quiet when is need it)

He finds really cute your shyness, but he's not someone who will tease you for it. However he usually make you get all blushy unintentionally, since whenever he gets excited Tesla practically forget about personal space! And, also, he has not shame when it comes to give affection or compliments

He probably ended up distracting you a lot without even noticing, it just take you to show interest in his work and he's already ranting about it, even dragging you to his study

He get used to you being easily distracted rather quick, so whenever he's talking to you and notice that you're distracted he just laugh at it and catch your attention again (sometimes he took a moment to stare at you with a lovestruck expression)

Also, he's really smart and won't mind learn about the work you have to do to be able to help you out, even make your own work more interesting for you so you could do it without much trouble

Tesla himself sometimes overworked himself becouse he gets too invested in his work, so he may not be able to help you too much about stress or overworked

If you're energetic he actually find it fascinating, he mostly prefer just to watch you have fun, but if you insist he will go with you. Also, you're always welcomed in his study to play around with his inventions (he loves seen you having fun with them)

Sometimes he gets scolded by the servants for distract you so much or for getting hurt since he can be pretty impulsive, but he doesn't mind, and if you help him with it will thank you but also tell you that is not need it

He doesn't care too much about luxury, if you offer him something it should be be related to his work (aside from you, his work is the most important thing for him)

Saw a Sansa fan say this about Arya when ranting about how unfair it is how everyone is treating Septa Mordane. "Ned gave her the impossible task of making a lady out of Arya, but he indulges his daughter when she rolls on mud or behaves in a socially unacceptable way. So Arya obviously doesn’t listen to Septa Mordane (or Catelyn, for that matter) when she tries to correct her behavior. Why would she? Septa Mordane’s power comes from Ned, and with his behavior he’s taking away her authority to establish rules and to enforce discipline". They just want to completely ignore the fact that Septa Mordane bullied Arya to the point of tears, attempting to embarrass her in front of Myrcella.

The "Septa Mordane was trying her best" takes are always hilarious because they always ignore the context of the situation. They act like she was some poor, frazzled old woman who was at her wit's end when it came to dealing with Arya.

First, nowhere is it that Arya routinely disregards Septa Mordane. I know people have this idea that Arya was just running around Winterfell doing whatever she wanted, but it's clear she was subject to very structured learning practices. The two major examples of her disobeying Septa Mordane are both under uncommon circumstances. If Arya was truly so disobedient and never faced consequences for her actions, then she wouldn't have been in her sewing lesson and attempting her work in the first place. Instead, she is working on her lesson without issue until the moment when Mordane remarks negatively on her work and embarrasses her to the point of tears. Arya's remark that she's going to "shoe a horse" is in response to Mordae telling her she has the hands of a Blacksmith, so it's obvious that her insulting Arya's work and making an example of her was a fairly common occurrence. She also uses her as a measure of bad behavior; she tells Sansa that she is "as willful as Arya" when she's behaving "improperly" and Sansa internalizes this + later thinks she felt as "wicked as Arya".

The second time is when Arya leaves a meal without permission. The lack of empathy for Arya is just so blatant because moment's before we have Arya's internal monologue of mourning her friend's death and thinking she doesn't feel safe among her father's men like she used to. All of this gets ignored and this moment is reduced to Arya being difficult. This person used Ned's quote about Septa Mordane turning Arya into a Lady but apparently, they neglected to read the entire conversation.

"I wasn't playing," Arya insisted. "I hate Septa Mordane." "That's enough." Her father's voice was curt and hard. "The septa is doing no more than is her duty, though gods know you have made it a struggle for the poor woman. Your mother and I have charged her with the impossible task of making you a lady."

This moment that they quoted is Ned doing exactly what he, supposedly, never does and supporting Septa Mordane + disciplining Arya. This entire conversation between the two is Ned telling Arya that she has to grow out of her wild behavior and listen to her teacher. And the only reason that they're having that conversation in the first place is because she went and told Ned of Arya's behavior. So I'm really lost on this logic. There is not a single moment in the story where Septa Mordane is undermined by either Ned or Cat. She has their support in both instances of Arya disobeying her. She isn't even ever faulted for Arya's lack of progress. She is allowed to be incompetent at her job with full authority. So I guess??? Ned and Cat were just never supposed to be nice to Arya or allow her to have fun??? I'm not sure what their idea of Ned "properly" supporting Septa Mordane looks like since we already have that in the story.

Septa Mordane as a teacher, and an adult, has authority over Arya. Whether or not her every word is being directly enforced by either Ned or Cat, that power dynamic still exists. And again, both times that Arya disobeys Septa Mordane she faces consequences. I'm not sure how Arya playing on the way to KL is an example since literally nobody but Sansa remarks on such as an issue, but it's obvious this person is just in the camp of "Arya's behavior is unacceptable". That's why they want her to be constantly corrected by everybody and think it's a failure on Ned's part that he *checks notes* allows his daughter to have fun while they're on a very long and tedious journey. I'm sure this person was also upset when Ned comforted Arya after her emotional outburst. As for Septa Mordane's abilities as a teacher, I think the fact that we never actually witness her teaching anything says it all.

God, the chapter hasn't even come out yet and people are already starting to demonize Doumeki. I'm really sorry, and it's probably not a popular opinion, but I really don't understand how Doumeki is supposed to know what's going on in Yashiro's head. He feels one thing, but says and does something completely different. We know that. Yes. But Doumeki can't read minds. Yashiro's body says yes. But in words, Yashiro also behaves sarcastic, cold and sometimes cruel towards Doumeki. Nothing changed. It's difficult to understand what's going on in a person's head. To believe that he loves you and if you open up to him again, this time he won’t leave you and you won’t get a bullet from him? Of course, I’m also annoyed by this whole situation and I want them to have a normal conversation! But to really demonize Doumeki... I can understand his behavior. How can I fully understand Yashiro's behavior. Yoneda wrote Doumeki as more than just a love interest. She created an interesting character with many good and bad qualities. With his own past and with his own traumas. Both Yashiro and Doumeki have huge trust issues. The fact that Yashiro is reflecting is already great progress!!! Doumeki keeps to himself but gives Yashiro space. They both go towards each other! Yes, not as quickly as we would like, but still. eh. It just upsets me that it feels like fans are ready to just destroy Doumeki for even the slightest bit of negative feelings towards Yashiro. As if Doumeki has no right to be jealous, offended, insolent... This makes me so frustrated(

Yeah, I understand this feeling well. I am not sure if you ever came across my blog a few months ago but I actually started out as almost a Doumeki defense blog lol. Most of my posts were about Doumeki’s pov because I felt there was a lot of harshness towards him. Ultimately I think the main issue those people have against Doumeki is that they don’t like Doumeki outside of being Yashiro’s love interest. That means Doumeki is not allowed to be a fully fleshed out character with his own insecurities and issues; he just needs to be whatever Yashiro needs him to be and he should know that even without any communication from Yashiro. Doumeki is supposed to be Yashiro’s lover, therapist and emotional whipping boy. A large part of the issue maybe certain interpretations of them as characters where there is a belief that Doumeki is this jealous, possessive man who only cares about having Yashiro at his side and Yashiro is the selfless one who only cares about doing what is best for Doumeki have influenced how we view their actions. We believe the worst of Doumeki while Yashiro is only at his mercy. The thing is Doumeki is acting in a way that Yashiro wanted in the past and pushing down his own desires to do it. He is not exactly happy with this arrangement either. Even when he was sweet, sensitive Doumeki, there was a lot of criticism towards him. There was even criticism of him for expressing he wants Yashiro to want only him. Doumeki is trying the best he can but Yashiro’s trauma goes beyond him. He can’t heal Yashiro nor should he be expected to. He also shouldn’t be expected to constantly sacrifice his own needs and desires for Yashiro and to never express any negative emotion about Yashiro’s actions. That is not an equal relationship. Some people have so much empathy for Yashiro but almost none for Doumeki. The most interesting thing is that if you even suggest Doumeki and Yashiro separate, those people would also hate that idea because Yashiro’s happiness is so reliant on Doumeki. I feel your frustration, anon. I feel like I can rant about this forever.

 Hi, can you do a meredith grey x reader where meredith can’t decide who to pick between reader and Derek. Then she makes her decision once she sees her come into the hospital after she gets injured? Please?

❛ 𝑰 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 ❜

𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜: Meredith Grey x f!reader ♡

𝘼/𝙣: Sorry for the wait 🙏This was a good idea anyway anon, I hope you'll enjoy this!!

Even though your relationship didn't last long, this girl could make you feel so damn good. Meredith Gray is one of those people you never wanted to lose.

Everything seemed to be fine, but then... he came along. Derek Shepherd, one of the world's most famous neurosurgeons who would come to work in the same hospital as you. Well that's great. But beyond that he was also Meredith's ex-boyfriend, and since he'd arrived she'd gotten weird.

She had begun to behave differently with you, and when you found out why you immediately felt like a useless object. Did she still love him?

Herself had declared that she didn't know. She said that it had been one of her most important relationships to her, and that ending it had been so hard. And she was probably retrying everything right now. You didn't even know if still believe her when she told you to care about you.

Sometimes meetings between you, Meredith and Derek happened so embarrassing that you would want to disappear from the whole world. More you got to know him, more he just seemed like an asshole, you had no idea how could Meredith fell for someone like that.

Since she didn't intend to do anything to change the situation you decided to walk away from her. She seemed to have noticed it, so when she saw you she often tended to follow you to try to talk to you, and you couldn't take it anymore.

"Y/n, please, wait!" you heard her voice coming from behind you as you went down the stairs.

"What do you still want to me?" you addressed her in a rather annoyed tone.

"Y/n, I really care about you, you must believe me, but-"

"But what?" you interrupted her. "Meredith, I'm the last person in the world who's going to tell you what to do and stop you from being happy. If being with Derek is what you want, go. I'm not going to stay here and wait forever for a person who doesn't even know what wants and playing with other people's feelings. I knew what I wanted, and it was just to be with you, but sadly it doesn't always go as hoped..." you could see the tears in her eyes before you could walk away. As difficult as it's been, it was the only solution, but it hurt you badly.

From that moment the only thing you waited for was the end of the day to go home. You would have sat on the sofa and started drinking to forget all this crap.

You left the hospital, went to your car and you've gone. You were just calmly continuing on your way, the sun was bothering your eyesight, so you reached over to get to your bag and get your sunglasses, but you just dropped everything. You huffed and turned for a moment to gather everything up, sorted yourself out, and immediately you saw the car in front of you stopped. You pressed your foot quickly on the brake, but since you would never be able to stop in time you swerved sharply. You couldn't even see where you had crashed as you hit your head for the impact, and after that you didn't remember anything.

When you woke up you were so confused, everyone was around your stretcher. You wanted to try to say something, but you felt like you didn't quite have the strength.

You were hearing them talk about a possible concussion, when all of a sudden you started getting severe pain in your abdomen, and everyone leaned over having heard you moan.

"Possible internal bleeding, let's take her to the operating room, right now!" they began to take you away, while you still looked around and the pain took over. Then you saw her, Meredith. She seemed to freeze completely at the sight of you like this. But it was certainly not the right time to think about this.

The surgery had gone well fortunately, now you were alone in a depressing room to say the least. You felt your head pounding, but at least the rest of the pain was under control.

"Y/n" you turned to see Meredith near the edge of the door. "Can I enter please?" there was nothing you could do to stop her being stuck in a hospital bed, so you just nodded.

"How are you?" she sat next to you.

"I've been better..."

"I'm so sorry" her gaze was sad.

"Well it's my fault, I got distracted for a second..."

A strange atmosphere had formed in the room, accompanied by an awkward silence.

"Y/n, I- I've never been really good with new experiences..."

"Meredith, we don't have to talk about it now-"

"No, please listen to me. I've never been good with it, and for me with Derek it's been very important. But there's nothing between us anymore, and knowing you it's been one of the best thing until now. I want you with me, I chose you, and I'll always choose you" these words lit up your face and your mind, almost making you feel better. You flashed her a big smile and she shook your hand.

"If I knew it would take an accident to make you say it, then I would have done it long ago" you both laughed.

"Shut up!" she looked at you smiling and gave you a little kiss on your forehead.

Yes! Mr Murphy (Rewritten)

PART 13: TIME TO DANCE

Pairing: Cillian Murphy x Reader

Warning: Angst, Age Gap, Teacher x Student, Fluff

PLEASE COMMENT AND ENGAGE!

Several hours later, after you picked up some clothes from your apartment as well as some toiletries for your stay at Cillian’s house, you arrived at the dance academy to take on your new class.

Knowing that you had Cillian’s daughter Nina amongst the children you taught was nerve-wracking for you but even more so nerve-wracking was the fact that you had to do this in front of your lover’ ex Danielle.

Meeting Danielle did not worry you as such, but since you were dating her husband, you knew that you had to be careful not to give anything away as, no doubt, Cillian wanted to keep your relationship a secret from her as well.

Furthermore, you were well aware of the issues she had been causing of late which included her withholding access to his children and blaming the now somewhat public separation from Cillian on an affair he allegedly had with a fellow actress when he was filming Oppenheimer.

Of course, Cillian told you that the rumours she heard were nonsense and he did not even know where they had come from. He denied everything and, even though his fellow colleague on set did the same, the allegations at the time were the final straw in their relationship, causing her to become verbally abusive, which you knew is why he left.

She was a difficult woman, he said and, yet, once upon a time, he loved her. This was many years ago and you never once took an issue with that. You were aware of his past and the fact that he was much older than you. He had a family and, since you did not want children of your own, the existence of his teenage children never bothered you. To the contrary, it excited you as, perhaps, if things between you were to work out, you may be able to have a place in their lives as well.

But then again, who knew what the future would bring. There was no way for you to know whether this little love affair between you and Cillian would turn into anything more serious regardless of how much you wanted it to and you knew that you had to take baby steps when it came to a man like this who, clearly, was more hurt and confused than you were without realising it himself.

***

Taking baby steps, however, was not always easy for you especially when you found yourself in a confronting situation like this when, suddenly, a rather attractive woman in her forties appeared in front of you.

She was accompanied by what appeared to be a teenage boy and a teenage girl, both of whom looked rather annoyed with her as she approached you.

“Who are you?” the woman then asked after having had a quick look around. She was clearly looking for her daughter’s regular dance teacher but, since she had resigned, she was nowhere to be found.

“My name is Y/N. I am taking over the class for the rest of the term. It is nice to meet you” you thus introduced yourself after you could not recall whether or not you had this woman before. She looked familiar somehow but you couldn’t quite place her.

“Just two months before the finals? Is that really a good idea?” she asked almost angrily without bothering to introduce herself.

“Unfortunatly, the girls’ previous teacher has resigned rather unexpectedly so there isn’t much else we can do about that. But, not to worry, I am across all of the routines” you reassured nonetheless while, deep down inside, you thought that she behaved rather rudely towards you.

“How old are you? Twenty? Twenty-five?” she then went on to ask, causing you to furrow her eyebrows.

“Excuse me?” you asked. Needless to say you were surprised and somewhat confused by her question.

“Well, I am just concerned about your experience when it comes to eisteddfods and the like. You seem to be rather young” the woman then said and it was obvious to you that she was competitive.

“I am old enough to know what I am doing, but I can understand your concern…” you began to say, knowing that politeness was the key with parents like this but, just as you tried to explain yourself, the academy’s principal barged into the room and pulled you aside in order to speak to the parent.

“Mrs Murphy, I can assure you that Y/N is the best fit for this class. She is a competitive dancer herself and the students she has taught for us to date were all really impressed with her” you heard him say, which is when your chin dropped. The woman who was treating you like this was Cillian’s ex and she clearly did not make an effort to be approachable even when speaking to the head of the academy, Patrick O’Neill.

“And the parents? Were they impressed too?” she rolled her eyes and you wondered for a while whether she knew about you and her husband’s secret relations. But then you realised that there was no possible way for her to know. Cillian would never have told her about you and the fact that she treated you like this was probably a coincidence.

***

“I sincerely apologise for our mother who seems to be having a bad day today, again!” was the next thing you heard and, just as you turned around to a somewhat familiar voice, your chin dropped again.

There was a young man standing in front of you who looked exactly like Cillian and he even sounded a little like him too. He had dark blonde hair and deep blue eyes. He would have been no older than seventeen and his cheek bones were razor sharp.

“Uhm, that’s fine. Thanks. Everyone has a bad day once in a while” you stammered as you continued to stare at him and you starring certainly did not go unnoticed.

“I am Max. This is Nina. She is your student and our mother dragged me here because I am grounded. I hate dancing but here I am, in a room with twenty girls for no fucking reason whatsoever” the young man then said and you were surprised by how direct he was. He had no filter whatsoever.

“You can join in if you like?” you told Max in response to his somewhat inappropriate comment, making his sister laugh.

“No thanks. Although, you seem much nicer than the old witch who taught this class before” Max then winked and you could not help but chuckle. This kind of wink too was familiar.

“Well, thank you for the compliment I suppose” you said, not knowing what else to say and, just as you looked a little baffled by the situation, the boy’s sister Nina spoke up.

“Max, just stop hitting on my dance teacher” she blurted out, causing her brother to blush before walking away with a sly grin on his face.

“I am sorry for my brother who can be a total douche sometimes and I am also sorry for being late which is my mum’s fault. Apparently, she rather spends time arguing with my dad than driving me to class on time” Nina then told you and you gave her a warm and welcome smile in return.

“I am sorry about you getting here late but it’s not an issue, okay? Don’t stress” you reassured Cillian’s daughter who also had no idea who you were. She was rather upset and you wanted her to feel comfortable in class which, at least for now, she did not. She felt and looked somewhat lost and confused and she most certainly was frustrated by the situation between her parents.

“I know. I just hate being late for things that actually matter to me. Things were running a little smoother before my parents broke up and mum won’t let me take the Dart by myself” Nina then said with an almost saddened voice before trying to get a grip of her emotions.  

“Well, you are a bit too young to take the Dart by yourself so I must agree with your mum on that” you said before reassuringly placing your hand onto hers as you could see some tears building up in the corner of her eyes. “But, you know what?” you thus went on to say. “I can relate. We all go through rough patches at times and I know how hard it can be not to get the attention you need” you reassured her before telling her that things will probably improve soon.

“Did your parents get divorced too?” Nina then asked somewhat directly and you knew that the separation was something that really bothered her. Cillian had already told you about it and how his children felt when he decided to move out and, even though you already knew how emotional Nina was, you weren’t quite aware of how significant her ordeal was until now.  

“No, I grew up in foster care and moved around a lot which made things pretty hard at times, but it also made me much stronger in the end and you will see that, if you persevere, you will grow much stronger too. Just have faith in yourself and your ability to adapt as I am sure your parents do the best they can” you tried to tell her while helping her put on her ballet shoes which, occasionally, could be a difficult task for the students.

“Well, my mum does not let me see my dad so there goes your theory of my parents doing the best they possibly can.” Nina told you with great frustration in her voice but, just as you were about to say something else to Nina, her mother approached you from behind.

“No, not those Nina! I bought you new shoes, remember?” her mother said almost angrily and you looked into her bag and noticed a brand-new pair of ballet shoes which were still wrapped in plastic.

“Yes, and they don’t fit mum” Nina argued while tying the last band on her old shoes.

“Put them on. You will get used to them. They look much nicer than these” her mother argued but Nina protested.

“No” she said, giving her mother a hard time.

“Nina!” her mother responded quickly and in anger.

“Mrs Murphy, these new shoes still need to be prepped. The bands must be sowed on before Nina can wear them and I will need to check if the pointe fits correctly. I can do this after class if you like” you quickly offered in order to help Nina out to which Danielle nodded in frustration.

“Fine” Nina’s mother then said before hurrying her daughter along so that you could begin with your class but, when you changed the schedule of their lesson slightly from the schedule that the previous dance teacher had prepared, Danielle interrupted you and voiced her frustration again.

***

“The routine they were given included a strict choreography for their solo” she pointed out and, just as she did, you could see several other mothers roll their eyes. One woman, in particular, stood out to you in this regard and you remembered her name to be Connie.

Connie had two girls in your class, both of whom were twelve. They were twins and appeared to have a good relationship with Cillian’s daughter Nina.

“Let it go Danielle, please” Connie said but Danielle would not relent.

“It’s bad practise to change their routine now, just after…” Danielle went on to say and it took all your courage to interrupt her.

“I am not changing the routine, but rather I am trying to teach the girls how to improvise in case they forget their extensive chorography when on stage. In a solo, this is possible and each student should know how to confidently do so if needed” you explained to Danielle who kept on rolling her eyes.

“Where did they teach you that?” Danielle asked before, once again, pointing out that dance is all about technique and learning your steps which is something you disagreed with.

“Ironically, improvisation on stage is something that was taught to me in drama school quite recently. In theatre, the ability to improvise is crucial. You can forget your lines and still pull it off if you know who the character is you need to portray. The same goes for dancing. You can forget your steps during a solo and still pull it off if you know what it is that you wish the audience to see” you explained calmly nonetheless before returning to your class while watching an argument unfold between the two parents, Connie and Danielle.

“She is right and you need to stop interrupting” Connie asserted before pointing to Danielle that she had heard this saying you used before.

“Really? From whom?” Danielle said, rolling her eyes.

“Your ex, who I think is also the reason behind your terrible mood today” Connie pointed out and, of course, she was not wrong. Cillian’s solicitor had served Danielle with a subpoena that day, following which she contacted him by phone, resulting in a fight just as you were at your apartment collecting your clothes.

“He had the court date brought forward, so yes, he is the reason that I am in a bad mood today. He’s got some fucking nerve, so can you blame me?” Danielle thus explained, causing Connie to sigh.

“Danielle, you aren’t letting him see the kids. What do you expect?” she asked while making sure that Max wasn’t listening to them.

“He moved out so he has no right to the children. He left us!” Danielle spat with anger.

“He left you, not his children. He has a right to see his kids Danielle!” Connie argued as she knew very well about what happened between her and Cillian over the past few years.

“And what rights do I have? Do you know how everything plays out in the media these days? It is all in his favour and now that this fucking movie is coming out, of course he would rather be single and sleep around and I get discarded and dropped like dead meat” Danielle went on to argue but Connie was quick to interrupt her.

“Jesus Danielle, you always liked playing the victim card, didn’t you?” Connie chuckled before reminding her of the thing she had done to end up like this.

“You went through counselling and when that failed, you tried to threaten his career. You jumped on every scandal and headline that popped up in the media and tried to alienate your husband from his friends and family. So, what did you expect to happen after you treated him like this for years? Did you really expect him to stay?” Connie asked just as Connie’s husband walked into the room and separated them both.

“Jesus, can we not have this kind of drama here?” Dermont asked before waiving at his daughters who quickly waved back just before their lesson had come to an end.

Spotting their dad, they both ran towards him for a hug which is also when you approached the group and handed each parent the consent forms to fill out for the upcoming eisteddfods in Cork.

“Y/N, how are you?” Dermont asked, causing some confusion but, since he was not an actor, he knew that it would have been a futile effort for him to pretend not to know you.

“I am good. How about you?” you asked politely and unsure about where he was going with this, causing Danielle to question you both.

“Do you know each other?” she asked somewhat surprised, to which Dermont nodded.

“Yes, I’ve done a radio interview at this dance festival a while back. Long story. Not very interesting” he explained realising that, in retrospect, pretending not to know you would have been easier than lying right now.

“Dance festival huh?” his wife Connie asked. She didn’t believe a word her husband had just said to her but decided to let it go for now, at least until they were home and not surrounded by Danielle and a handful of teenagers and, just as the group was talking and you finished handing out the consent forms, you joined the students backstage which is where they got changed. 

***

“Nina, can I talk to you for a second please?” you asked seeing that she had already changed into her casual clothes which enabled you to pull her aside.

“I screwed up, didn’t I?” she immediately asked and you were quick to shake your head.

“No, you haven’t at all. You remembered your routine very well…” you said and she interrupted you.

“But?” she asked and you ought to explain what went wrong.

“I want you to be yourself when you dance your solo. For example, if you are angry that day, then be angry on stage. Show me and the world that you are raging inside. Contemporary dance is all about being who you are and expressing yourself and your own emotions whereas, ballet, is all about technicalities and routines. We are trying to do a bit of both and the one thing I want you to take away from today’s lesson is that it is okay to be who you are and it is okay not to feel happy all the time. So, crank up the music in your room and just dance the way you feel. Let your emotions come out and see where the music takes you. You don’t need to pretend to be anyone else here, not even on stage. We aren’t acting, we are dancing and if you deviate from your choreography during your solo then who cares? Sounds cool?” you asked and she nodded quite happily in response. 

“Sounds cool” she said. “Thank you Y/N. Today was much more fun than usual” Nina then pointed out and you were glad to hear it without realising that someone else was listening in and this was Dermont’s wife Connie who had followed you backstage in order to return the signed consent form which she handed to you right after you were done talking to Nina.

“Here you go. All filled in and signed. I am super forgetful so I figured that I should probably do it now” Connie said while handing the form to you and then asking you a rather strange question. “Y/N, just a question, which acting school is it that you are going to?” she wanted to know and you politely answered her.

“Gaiety. Why?” you asked, causing her to grin.

“I was just curious. That’s all” Connie responded before thanking you for your amazing work that day. 

To be continued…

"My girl" | Steve Harrington x Fem! Reader.

Steve and Y/N go to a party of one of his old "friends" for a good night out, too bad Jason was there to ruin it.

Warnings: Y/N being passive aggressive, Steve being tender <3, mention about Y/N's anxiety issues, Jason being a jerk as usual.

Number of characters: 3,942

I've never been a big fan of parties. I'm the kind of person who prefers to hang out with friends in a close circle and eat junk food until late. Unfortunately, my boyfriend was the opposite, so when he was invited to a party and looked at me with those puppy dog eyes he makes when he wants something I knew my plans for the night were ruined.

Now I was standing at a kitchen counter in a kitchen too ostentatious for a 20 year old teenager, drinking coke while pulling some potatoes out of the jar on the table.

Whenever Steve drags me to these things he is by my side, if some people come over to talk to him he just puts his arm around my shoulders and casually adds me to the conversation. That was one of the many reasons I was lost for him. He knew about my anxiety issues and how bad I get around people, so he would always stay by my side, grabbing my waist, grabbing my shoulders while stroking my arm, or just tangling the fingers of our hands, giving a kiss on the back of this one every so often.

To my bad luck, Steve is human, and like a normal human, he has to go to the bathroom. That's why I was basically behaving like the complete asocial person I am, staying away from the crowd and avoiding any conversation that might be born between me and people I didn't know.

"Hi!" A blond-haired, blue-eyed boy with a big smile approached me, leaning against the kitchen counter, "I noticed you were a bit lonely here, so I came to keep you company".

"No need, I'm fine on my own" I peeked out the door leading to the hallway hoping to see Steve. The kitchen was empty and completely surrounded by walls, which meant I was alone with this guy.

"No need to be modest, although I understand why you're nervous" he let out an idiotic laugh, as Robin calls them, the kind that guys do when they think they're impressing girls.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I'm understanding, why, exactly, should I be nervous?" I recoiled uncomfortably as I noticed him getting closer to me than necessary. I hated having my personal space invaded.

"Don't you know who I am?" The tone he used made me gag. "Jason Carver".

"Ah" I nodded, looking toward the door, internally biting my lower lip. I wasn't liking the situation. "Actually, I have no idea who you are, and I'm not interested in finding out, so could you back up?"

"Are you the difficult type?" He laughed again when he saw my displeased grimace. "It's okay, I find it attractive in girls".

"Excuse me...?" Before I could finish, Jason and I were startled to notice a hand on his shoulder, pressing down hard.

"Hey, thanks for finding my girlfriend, buddy" Steve slapped the boy's back hard, feigning a 'friendly' greeting. "I'd been looking all over the house for her" he ran a hand around my waist. I could tell, as I looked up, how behind his big smile there was a trace of anger, he was clenching his jaws.

"Your girlfriend, she didn't say anything to me about a boyfriend".

"My girl is a little shy about that, although I don't understand why she should have told you we were a couple anyway" Before Jason could say anything, Steve moved closer to me, leaving short kisses on my lips while mumbling something about going home to spend the rest of the night together. It went on like that until the third guy in the room decided to leave. "God, I can't leave you alone for a minute without some jerk coming on to you," he snorted, holding my cheek as he brushed his nose against mine. "Did that guy do something to you?"

"You're just in time" I put my arms around his neck, closing my eyes and lowering my voice "And I really like your idea of going home" I smiled when I heard his laugh, followed by his hands carrying me carefully as he ran to the car. "Steve! I'm going to fall if you carry me like that!" I was holding on tightly to his shoulders, laughing too hard to hear the music coming out of the speakers.

"I promise I won't let you fall, honey".

Masterlist

[arrancxr]

i love your blog sooo muchhh<3 could you give us something about human!friend/SO inviting Espada (minus Starrk,but add Barragan and Tesla,if possible, please))) to eat in some nice dining place and order whatever they want? let say this place offer really high quality food but nothing extremely fancy or crowded so Espada won't feel extra pressure here

Barragan

Though he starts out rather disgusted with the idea of entertaining any period of time in a human establishment, assurance that the place is worthy of his status as a king is enough to have Barragan at least tolerate it. And in the end, it's not bad at all. The food and entertainment put him in a good mood— even more so because of your efforts to please him.

Halibel

She's definitely one of the better ones at fitting in. Whether she's nervous about being in such a public place or not, Halibel is good at staying calm and not making a big deal out of it all. You clearly think this is a good idea, and she has faith in you not to put her through anything miserable. Your company makes the whole situation much more enjoyable— it's the best part, really.

Ulquiorra

As you'd expect, he's kind of a brat about the whole thing. Ulquiorra is perfectly open about how pointless your idea of a date is, and his unimpressed commentary only stops when the first bite of food cuts off all complaints. He's a lot more agreeable after that, though he's still not going to admit it. It's surprisingly easy to drag him into this kind of thing again with the promise of a meal.

Nnoitra

Deeply uncomfortable with existing in the human world at all, Nnoitra isn't exactly having a good time on this date. He likes being with you a lot more than he'll say, but it's still difficult to feel anything but way too conspicuous in such an unfamiliar setting. Expect plenty of grumbling about what a dumb idea this was. The words lack any real anger, though... and he doesn't try to leave.

Grimmjow

He's far from the best at behaving himself in public, but the restaurant date isn't bad at all. So long as nothing gets him agitated, Grimmjow isn't going to complain (too much) about having a nice meal with you. He's not self-conscious even with humans around, and the food is definitely distracting him enough to prevent problems. Chances are, he'll want to do this again.

Szayel

He's absolutely thrilled about your plan— the entirely new experience is both perfect for gathering data and just plain entertaining. Though he's not as good as he thinks at blending in among humans, Szayel is clearly having a wonderful time with the food and unfamiliar environment. He very much appreciates your effort to show him parts of what would be normal life for you.

Aaroniero

The public location is far from his favorite thing. Why couldn't you have stayed in your home instead of this? The food serves as a decent distraction, though, and Aaroniero's skills at mimicking someone else's behavior mean that he's fitting in just fine. He'll grumble about it plenty once you're done, but in the moment, he's a lot happier about being there with you than he'll admit.

Tesla

This... does not feel right. Being in public in the human world is slightly uncomfortable, to begin with, and Tesla feels even more out of his depth in a nicer restaurant like this. He's not going to complain, though, so that leaves him just trying not to embarrass you. There's no way he's acting properly human, but the food is wonderful, and your company eases his nerves quite a bit.

[phaerlax]

you as the WolfBoyGuy and me as someone who has just recently seen the puppy light, do you have any tips or what you'd consider Required Reading to get a good grip on writing wolf boys? moreso karu than garu just because i personally have a hard time writing dudes with as much bluster and "doesn't tend to default to conventionally agreed on niceties". i have (admittedly mild) torments I'd like to put him through >_>

Anon is asking me about blorbo... I have been training for this for so long... behold now the ramblings of a man possessed by two wolves. I'll talk a bit about how I approach writing Karu and then include some curated recs.

It took me some time to really get going on wolfboy fics; I also found it challenging to handle Karu's characterization. Two big reasons why:

Tsunderes are just difficult to do if you're grounded in realism. It's a very 'anime' archetype and people don't behave quite like that. This makes it harder to naturally reach for reasonable/appropriate responses when putting the character in situations. The big want/think/say/do splits can also complicate straightforward scenarios (e.g. the character wants something and does what he needs to do in order to get it. This path is often closed to the tsundere).

The game gives little insight into Karu's inner world. NU: Carnival is very dialogue-heavy in its narrative. When we do get introspection, it's often Eiden-focused. This means we basically never get to see the thought process that leads Karu to act this way or that, except in the rare instances in which he talks to himself (like in some H scenes when he goes "ugh it feels so good but-").

The style that I ended up developing for my angry wolf boy writings follows these principles:

Keep him silly. This is because I fundamentally see Karu as a comical character. Yeah, his personality can be traced back to traumas and there's a lot of interesting stuff to explore in that regard, but I am not personally interested in that tbh. The reason I love him is the wacky nonsense and ridiculous behavior that we see in the game. It was at first sight for me. I didn't need depth and I still don't XD Any advice and references I provide are skewed by that. I have a preference for almost never taking him seriously.

Mind his 'narrativization' tendencies. Karu is comically very enamored by the idea/narrative that he's a mighty warrior with many great skills who will conquer humanity and who should be respected and served. On some level, he knows this isn't entirely true, so he will sometimes (try to) avoid situations that would bring attention to his shortcomings. But most often he's trying to prove himself and get others to share his narrative. When something or someone reinforces the narrative, he gets proud, pleased or happy-flustered. When something or someone goes against the narrative, he gets annoyed and angry-flustered. He is very good at ignoring reality, however. Even though he'll seemingly take exception to every little slight, he moves on very quickly and pretends nothing happened. And though he's stubborn, he's also willing to surrender, cut his losses and 'try another day' when he's foiled.

Mix his narrativization with the narration a lot. This kind of free indirect discourse is just my style in general, but with Karu I find myself using it more intensely, to such an extent that the narration can get quite dialogue-like in how it expresses his thoughts. When I want to portray a 'tsundere stumble' moment, I sometimes make the narration interrupt itself as Karu consciously aborts a line of thinking that would lead him to unacceptable conclusions.

Let him just be rude for no reason and with little consequence. Karu's default way of addressing and dealing with people (other than Kuya) is rudeness. At best, he attempts some form of condescension in which the reason he's doing something 'nice' is because you're so weak and he's so awesome or whatever. Most characters seem to simply not mind his behavior and, again, it's usually played for laughs anyway.

Bibliography of Karu Studies

Keep in mind that many Karu fics are kuyaru, and Karu in kuyaru is quite different from the core of the character, since he's uniquely eager to please Kuya. Still, even kuyarus can have some nice insight.

who let the dogs out has a lot of juicy Karu inner conflict, and it even explores the ways in which such hangups make him outwardly grumpier. Due to kuyaru, it ultimately leads him to a place of submission, but his initial thoughts are very in-character.

Baser Instincts is a kuyaru in which Kuya gets to see the pups in a new light, because they help him in a difficult situation. It's another great source of inspiration for Karu struggling to express his feelings.

Bow Down! explores how he might react to Eiden letting him top, in a very true-to-character way.

Lonely at the Top is Karu/Dante, which means you get to see Karu at his prickliest and most insufferable, and how that can be managed.

A Matter of Pride is a good example of the 'concessions' dynamic that can be done in Eiden/Karu.

Goshujin-Ai is an older Karu/Yakumo and a good example of Karu feeling comfortable and doing the 'attempts at condescension' thing I mentioned before.

Slave number one, rub my chest again is me speculating on what it might look like for Karu to ask Eiden to do things to him and try to control sex.

Warden slander wolf Commander is probably a good example of the 'fine I give up but I'll get you next time' potential of Karu, as well as the kind of bleed-heavy narration I talked about.

Master, do you have another wolf besides me?! delves into Karu's potential for jealousy as a way of expressing affection. It's pretty canon-compliant because most of it is adapted from NEON Carnival.

There are many other fics in the Karufic Archive, but I think the ones above are among the best for the purposes of thinking about the writing.

Please feel free to talk to me non-anonymously if you ever want to discuss wolf boy content! As you can see I am cursed with thoughts and need places to put them. I'm also always very happy to do anything that I can to shepherd and sponsor GaruKaru content; if you go ahead with your impulse to write about them (please do) and want a beta reader, don't hesitate to ask~

[yanderes-galore]

Been playing to much Disney mirrorverse now it got me wondering how would Yandere Merida react if she starts to fall for a villain who set fire to things ?

Sure! I love Mirrorverse so I'll see what I got for her :) I struggled on this but I think I got something ^^

Yandere! Mirrorverse! Merida with Pyrokinetic! Villain! Darling

Short Concept

Pairing: Romantic/Platonic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, One-sided enemies to lovers trope, Stalking, Manipulation, Dubious/Forced companionship, Overprotective behavior, Violence.

As a Guardian, Merida is determined and rebellious.

She uses the power of wisps and spirits to help guide her perform her duty as a Guardian.

She has enhanced perception and is an expert tracker around the Mirrorverse.

Fractured are no match for her!

Merida would be Caring, Temperamental, Persistent, Protective, and Obsessive at times.

She most likely met you during a mission to remove Fractured from an area.

She prefers to be independent yet is willing to work with other Guardians.

You may be a villain who got their hands on the Stellar Mirror.

That, or, you work for one of the main villains for one reason or another.

When Merida meets you while scouting, she quickly realizes something needs to be done.

You're a user of pyrokinesis... a power that has the potential to cause more damage than any Fractured ever could.

Merida's first thought is to get help and take you out of commission.

Although before she's able to escape the first time, however, you and her begin to fight.

How the obsession begins is rough.

You're both obviously on different sides and as far as you know Merida could ruin your whole plan.

Merida learns the extent of your abilities and you learn hers in this little fight you have.

Your first meeting concludes by either you being chased off or Merida is.

Her obsession would take more encounters to situate itself in her mind.

That first fight was just a taste... she thought she could take you down alone!

Unfortunately... Merida is ambitious.

It would take many fights with allies to finally take you down.

Merida may gain a small crush on you during fights but her behavior doesn't fully form until she has you caught.

Part of her admits that when she sees you use fire it's... ethereal.

She refuses to accept the idea of a crush so early on.

Once she beats you in a fight, she admits it feels fantastic.

Yet she also feels a bit bad.

Merida begins to learn more about you when you're taken into the Guardians.

Until you learn to 'behave' you're given a charm that cancels your fire powers.

Essentially... in this state you're nearly harmless.

A fact Merida taunts you with at times just to get a reaction.

This is not the first time a villain has been made a Guardian.

It's just with you... it's unwillingly which is more difficult.

Merida takes on the job of settling you in.

The Guardians try to convince you that you should be more careful.

You're being used....

For the most part you don't listen, but once Merida's obsession really starts, that starts to change.

Merida can be caring to those she trusts.

While it will take time to fully trust you... somewhere in Merida does care about you.

Your powers will make you a skilled Guardian with time.

She agrees with her fellow Guardians that you have potential.

The issue is convincing you.

Merida tries to convince you by listing off the benefits.

You half listen to her, finding her attempts to convert you pitiful.

Your lack of cooperation is something that sets off her temperamental trait.

There's times you two have to be separated because of the arguments you two would start with each other.

Despite you angering her at times... something tells Merida to keep trying.

Whenever she looks at you... she feels she can change you.

You must just be misguided.

This makes her persistent.

She does everything from bribes to threats.

Making you become a Guardian will be difficult... if you even do.

She becomes obsessive about this to the point you could probably manipulate her by faking just a little bit of change.

You can manipulate her maybe once before she catches on.

Who knows, maybe you're faking it at the start but soon actually believe your own lies.

A fact Merida would be very pleased with if she found out.

If you convert or just deceive her it doesn't matter to her entirely.

Merida would soon be at the stage where she's overprotective of you no matter the alignment.

The rebellious scout would try to defend you from any sort of distrust you're subject to.

Merida acts like she's your only friend... maybe even something more due to how she defends you so intensely.

It's flattering....

Merida's behavior changes if you are just manipulating her just to get the charm off.

The moment you try to use your fire magic to betray the Guardians, Merida shuts it down.

She'd shoot you down with one of her ethereal arrows, but not enough to kill you.

She's bitterly tell you that this was a punishment before putting the charm back on.

Merida would probably have you chained up even if the Guardians didn't consent to such extremes.

Your wounds will be healed... but you will not taste freedom.

All you'll ever see will be Merida, a loving smile on her face as she caresses your cheek in an attempt to bring you comfort.

You don't deserve this...

She believes she can make you change... she vows to protect you even if you don't...

In the end you're hers and she feels she's yours... she'll stay beside you, even if you are in chains.
