Hello Can you please do spidider verse characters also with a reader with anxiety were the spiders are hanging out with a friend alot and the readers anxiety kinda acts up (idk if thats what you call it.)?
A Quiet Moment In A Sea of Chaos
Spiderverse Characters and how they comfort their partner (Reader) that has an anxiety attack
(Including Eddie/Venom and Spider-Medic!)
A/N: This is all based off of various panic attacks I've suffered through, and different methods I use to help calm myself down from them.
Miguel O'Hara:
Tumblr media
• You and Miguel were in the middle of a big company party at Alchemax, full of snobbish jerks who sneered at the dumbest comments and inside jokes.
You stood, holding onto Miguel's thick arm beneath his suit as he put on his best, fakest smile he could manage to plaster on his gorgeously plush lips, his sensitive eyes shielded behind his glasses. Sure he was odd for wearing the dark lenses indoors, but he was rich enough that nobody questioned it. And besides, it really put his whole outfit together.
He exuded physical prowess and success. And usually, just having him near you was enough to make you feel just as confident as he was in these sort of gatherings.
But right now? Right now you were freaking out. You bottled it all up inside, but all you could think about was wanting to shrink down, crawl into Miguel's suit pocket, and hide there for the rest of the night, to escape the stares and snickers of the other snobby party goers that settled into your skin like a horrible mist.
• Miguel took notice, his ear twitching as he heard your heart thud in your chest, so frightened like an animal wanting to escape a cage. He heard your breathing get shallow, weaker.
He excused the two of you from the droll conversation he had been sucked into so he could bring you out onto the balcony, hoping that the cool nighttime summer breeze would help ease your concerns.
He would bring you close, caging your smaller frame against his, crushing you in a tight hug, smothering you in the calming scent of his cologne and the very essence that is him.
Miguel your pet your back softly, whispering sweet things into your ear.
"Mi amor. It's okay. I'm here. I'm here. Just breathe." He would say to you.
"Your heart is pounding, sweetheart. I can hear it like a gunshot going off in my ear. I'm going to hold you as long as it takes, okay?"
You would nod, bunching the expensive fabric of his suit in your fingers as he talked you through your waves of anxiety, soothing and kissing away any nervous tears that spilled.
"That's mi vida." He would smile down at you warmly, his glasses automatically tinting so you could see his warm eyes clearly in the lower light out on the balcony.
His full lips quirked up in such a way your heart fluttered in an entirely different manner, the gaze he was giving you so soft and warm that it could break hearts of any caught in it.
It didn't break yours however. All it did was remind you that you were safe in the only shelter you had from the chaotic storm that was your own anxiety; whisking you away to a paradise where your fears could not harm you.
"I'm not going anywhere, love." He would say to you, his voice full of tenderness and love.
"Come on. I'll tell them something came up and we can go home." He would say to you. "If I have to hear one more word from that asshole McLenny, I'm going to hang myself anyways."
When you finally laughed, Miguel grinned.
Pavitr Prabhakar:
Tumblr media
• You guys were hanging out in the cafeteria at Spider Society HQ, Hobie regaling you, Pavitr, and Jess with his most recent anarchistic victory over the Osborne of his universe.
You had been picking at the fabric of your suit hard as Hobie talked. You felt their eyes glued to you after a short time, feeling a nasty feeling roiling around in your gut, but you couldn't focus on it. All you could focus on was the floor, so shiny that it reflected the lights and images of your friends and boyfriend with such blinding clarity that it gave you a migraine and made your panic attack rise more violently.
You were so consumed by the feeling gnawing at your gut that you didn't notice when Pavitr told Jess and Hobie that he needed to get you out of there.
Hobie and Jess knew about your anxiety, and Jess, her maternal instincts flaring heavily to life, felt her protective nature surge forward as mama bear ushered Pavitr to get you out of there quicker.
• Pavitr frantically looked for a place to bring you, not stopping until he found an empty office room to sit you down in.
"Hey, hey, lovie." Pavitr cooed at you, kneeling in front of you as he pulled off his mask to meet your gaze.
The lenses of your mask made it difficult for him to see if you were looking at him, so he raised his hands to gently peel yours off your face.
"There's my love." He would smile at you softly upon seeing your face. The face he loved so much.
"Wanna sit in here til everything calms down? I can play a podcast for you on my phone!" He chirps proudly, his eyes sparkling like little gems.
You sniffle and smile, nodding silently in response.
Pavitr would sit lotus style on the floor, pulling you into his lap as he hummed and played the most relevant podcast he could find.
Once it started, he'd place his phone on the floor and rock slowly back and forth, letting you melt into his arms as the voices droned on from the speaker in his phone.
"That's it, lovie. Just breathe for me, huh? Can't have that gorgeous brain of yours pass out on me!"
Peter B Parker:
Tumblr media
• You guys were at a party with some other parents. It was a get-together a young couple in your apartment building started for other first-time parents to tots and toddlers.
They decided to hold it at the community center down the street.
The amount of people talking to you in one crowded room, the kids squealing and laughing, toys slamming down, crying, the sounds of the chairs scraping on the floor had your pulse racing like a racehorse.
Peter B would feel it, the hair-raising feeling on the back of his neck as Mayday crashed her stuffed fish into the stuffed bear he had in his hand, babbling and cooing to him as she blew raspberries.
His Spidey senses were tingling hardcore as he picked up on your discomfort, watching how you practically slapped your own face and wiped downwards to ground yourself, to distract yourself from your anxiety as it bubbled up beneath your skin.
But it wasn't enough, there were just too many bodies around you, too many voices, too many noises.
You just.. Couldn't.
• Peter would quickly stand up, cradling Mayday against him as he moved towards you as fast as he could without tripping.
"Hey, honey..." He would say softly to you. "You okay?"
"No. I can't--I can't breathe." You croaked.
Even little Mayday seemed to pick up on your discomfort, as she so innocently held out her stuffed fishy to you, babbling in her baby talk as her big beautiful eyes met yours.
You sniffled and took the toy and held it against you as Peter walked you into the deserted kitchen to get you somewhere calmer. It wasn't much privacy, but it helped put you at ease.
It calmed you enough that you were able to take Mayday in your arms, burying your face in her ever-messy curls, breathing in the lingering scent of the baby shampoo in the bright red strands.
Peter meanwhile, rubbed your back and kissed your temple, Mayday content to snuggle into you and talk in a language only other babies seemed to understand.
Thanks to your lovely husband and darling baby, they were able to bring you out of your little bubble of fear and worry.
Peter looked at you with such a soft and loving gaze you felt your heart swell.
"Hey, that's my favorite human in the whole universe!"
Mayday frowned and stuck her chin out at him, her little lip wobbling in response.
"Okay, okay, one of my favorite humans in the whole universe!" He grinned, giving you both messy kisses on the cheek, rubbing his face into yours as he laughed.
"Why don't we go on home, and watch a nice little movie huh? Just the three of us."
You couldn't help but agree. It sounded like a nice, calm oasis. Perfect.
Hobie Brown:
Tumblr media
• You and Hobie were sitting with his band after a successful gig, celebrating in the dressing room of the pub; knocking back some cold brews and eating some cheap takeout. Everyone was laughing and joking, loudly.
Hobie had been watching you out of the corner of his eye, like Peter B, his Spider senses telling him something you weren't voicing as you quietly sat, frosty glass in your hands as you stared into the yellowish, foamy brew.
You were busy tuning the world out, shutting everything down as sweat trickled down your back and all you could hear was the buzzing of the fluorescent lights above you; the edges of your vision started to blur as tunnel vision began to set in.
You didn't even notice when Hobie excused himself from the celebrations to gently tug you to your feet, holding your hand firmly in his as he walked you out into the alley behind the pub, the cool evening mist settling on your skin as you let out a breath you didn't realize you were holding.
• Hobie turned you around, bringing you to his chest as he leaned down, his mouth at the shell of your ear.
"Ey, luv. It's alright. Just breathe." He would say.
"I'm here, it's all right. Just breathe slowly, count your breaths, count your heart. Or better yet, count how many times you hear a car honk from some tosspot who don't know what they're doin', eh?"
He smiled when, even in your stupor, a thin laugh snaked out of you.
"That's it, baby. Want more jokes? I got plenty."
"Yes... please. Something to..."
"Ay, ay. Say no more. So, listen to this, right? A pastor and a cop walk into a pub..."
He would continue spitting out horrible joke after joke, even the raunchy ones that made you choke on your own spit. He would keep going until your body was shaking not from your anxiety attack, but your effort to contain your laughter.
When you finally admitted you were ready to go inside again, he smiled happily.
"Kay, luv. Let's continue on with our after-party, huh?"
Eddie/Venom:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
• You guys were out at a new club that opened, it took a bit of coaxing on both Eddie and Venom's behalf to get you to leave your apartment and venture out into the night life, but they did it.
However, when they met up with Anne and her boyfriend, you felt the air shift. Being around Eddie's ex just felt so awkward and had your baby hairs standing up as your fingers nervously drummed on your thigh.
Yes, Anne and Eddie were on good terms, but ugh! Why couldn't your brain just shut up for five seconds? Anne didn't hate you, she genuinely enjoyed your company and was happy that Eddie and Venom found someone who could handle them both.
Hell, you'd go so far as to claim Anne probably considered you a friend.
Maybe it was being around her, or the fact your social anxiety couldn't handle the bass of the music, the crowds of dancing and weaving people combined with the loud atmosphere... But you buried your face in your arms as you leaned against the wall, your back to the throng of the crowd.
You could feel eyes on your back, you swore you could hear people talk about you, which only compounded the feelings that settled a heavy weight in your chest as you felt tears start to break free from the dam you tried to erect.
You jumped when you felt a hand slide to the small of your back, and turned to see Eddie, his thick eyebrows curved upwards in concern. You felt his hand slip under your back, and that's when you realized he'd grown claws, his grip was cooler as it touched your sweaty skin.
It was Venom, he was trying to comfort you too. In fact, he could feel something was wrong with you the whole night, straining his alien senses and tuning them to your body from within Eddie. He knew the moment you'd slipped away that something was wrong, and like a bloodhound, he helped Eddie sniff you out in the bustling crowd.
"Babe, you okay? Wanna go home?" Eddie would ask, leaning in to your ear as Venom stroked the skin of your back.
When you silently nodded, feeling a small sob bubble up from you, Eddie whipped out his phone, sending a frantic text to Anne about your condition.
'What are you waiting for? Go home! Seriously! Panic attacks are no joke, Eddie! Shoo!' Anne responded.
Eddie chuckled and shook his head, carefully picking the least crowded places to weave into to get you out of the club faster.
• Once outside, Eddie would sit you down on his bike, rubbing your shoulders in soothing motions as he leaned in, his mouth by your ear, talking you through your panic attack.
"Hey, babe... Do you want Vee to bond with you for a bit? To help even things out? I know you said you don't want to use him like a crutch, but he wants to help. He feels bad for helping talk you into this and not stop it sooner." He whispered.
You consent, and Eddie touches your hand, enough skin contact to let Venom covertly slink onto you, fusing beneath the pores in your skin to flow through your body.
Venom immediately sets himself to work, trying to even out the chemicals your brain was pumping out and filtering them with better ones, slowing your heart and breathing to better levels.
You knew Venom, doing this for you, would probably need to consume more chocolate or... well. Some criminal's brain to help him recover from this endeavor, later.
"Don't worry, little one." Venom's voice would purr inside your head. "It's a task I do gladly. And besides, at least you don't call me a parasite."
You giggle around a sniffle as your crying stops, and Eddie smiles at you.
"Let me guess--Vee is bitching because I call him a parasite, huh?" He snorts.
You nod and he laughs again, rubbing your arms once more. "C'mon babe, let's go. Wanna take the scenic route?"
Your watery smile makes his heart leap, and when you nod, he secures your helmet on you, buckling the chin straps before planting his on his head.
"Hmph. You don't need a helmet when you have me." Venom grunted.
When your arms slip around his waist, he feels the tension leave his body. Having Venom separate from him filled him with a sense of his own anxiety, or maybe his empathy was causing yours to bleed into him.
As the bike started up, you hear Venom's voice in your head again:
"Don't worry, little one. We will always be here for you."
(Bonus:)
Peter A Parker (Spider-Medic):
Tumblr media
• It all started when you were in one of the exercise rooms in HQ, working on your forms and techniques as Peter A taught you how to fight like a soldier, like he was taught before he was shipped out to Vietnam, while Miguel practiced nearby, giving you pointers over his shoulder as he beat up the punching bag in front of him.
You weren't sure how it happened, maybe it was the adrenaline pumping through your system, or maybe it was the atmosphere around you, the sound of grunting, of weights dropping to the floor, the paf! Paf! Paf! of Miguel hitting his bag, or the overall stress of the last few missions finally collapsing onto your shoulders; but you fell to your knees, clutching your chest as you feel like your lungs were about to give out on you, a cold sweat beading on your brow.
Miguel could hear it, but he knew it wasn't his place to rush to your aid, instead he allowed Peter to do it. You were far closer and more comfortable with Peter, so you would be more likely to calm down with him instead of Miguel.
He was your boyfriend after all.
Peter had brought you into one of the closets where the spare weights were located, quickly sitting you down on the floor and kneeling in front of you, two of his fingers at the jumping vein in your neck, tracking your pulse.
• Being a veteran who saw hell on the battlefield, Peter was no stranger to panic attacks and anxiety thanks to his PTSD from his time in the trenches as a medic. So when his partner experienced them he came in clutch.
Peter would look at you, lowering his voice as he said soft, sweet things to you.
"Slow your breathing, sweetheart. Can you do that for me? Count down from ten. Then, I want you to count from fifteen to twenty-five. That's it. That's it, honey."
When that didn't work, he would bring you in close, resting his forehead against yours.
"Want me to tell you a story?"
He knew you liked hearing about his time as a medic, about the places he'd been. And he knew that you knew it was therapeutic for him to do it. He knew that you liked helping him.
You would nod, and he would cup his hands around your ears to ease the sounds from the outside world, speaking in a voice only you could hear.
When your heart and breathing finally got down to a level he deemed safe, he would kiss your cheek and whisper, "Come on. Let's get you to medical. You can take a nap in one of the suites to help relax."
"Can you stay with me?"
"Of course. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I left you alone after this?"

Imagine trashing a construction site and getting caught by Prince Nuada, who finds you both impressive and confusing .
 Possible multi parter?
You didn’t know exactly what time it was or how long you had been chained to a tree, half exhausted and half starving. The work crew had left around dusk, leaving their bulldozers and two rent-a-cops guarding you after deciding that they didn’t get paid enough to deal with an angry hippie chaining herself to a tree and refusing to move.
In all honestly, this wasn’t exactly what you had planned. But the workers had decided to start a day early, throwing you off your game until you impulsively chained yourself to the thick trunk of the ancient oak tree and prepared yourself for a game of chicken.
It seemed you had won, at least for the moment. But since the guards had confiscated your back pack, all you could do now was wait until morning.
Half dozing, your ear perked up at the sound of movement in the darkness surrounding you. Not an animal, footsteps.
“Who’s there?” You called, throat dry and cracking from dehydration. “I told you I’m not leaving. I can do this all night.”
There was no response, but you could feel a pair of eyes on you.
You drew yourself up, spine popping as you did.
“I know you’re there.”
There was a moment of silence before the figure drew closer, a faint outline now visible in the dark.
“Do you intend to stay here all night?”
It was a man, but his voice was strange. No New York thickness to it, in fact you couldn’t place it at all.
“Yep” You grunted plainly.
“Why?”
You blinked, struck by the question. It wasn’t often you were asked why you did these things, only what you wanted.
“Because it would be wrong to destroy these trees” You insisted, “It’s wrong and I won’t stand for it. You’ve destroyed most of the forests in the state, why can’t you leave this one be?”
“I’m not doing anything” the voice didn’t sound offend, it was almost amused by your anger.
“Oh let me guess” you scoffed. “you’re just doing your job, huh?”
The figure drew closer. “No, I’m not with the humans at all, but I’m curious what you plan to do next ”
“Well, I had a back pack with a bunch of stuff in it to...wait what?”
“What?”
“What does that mean?”
“What?”
“That you’re not with the humans?”
There was a moment of silence before the figure shifted, closer now. He seemed to be examining the chain you had strapped around your torso.
“I can get your backpack, but what are you going to do?”
You decided to ignore the subject change and instead swallowed and wiggled a little. “I was doing to vandalize the bulldozer, slash tires, sawdust in the fuel tank, you know.”
“That will only stop them a short while”
“Long enough to come up with a better plan.” You shot back, “So will you help me or not?”
He hummed, thinking a moment before nodding. “Alright, But you’ll need to get down first”
“Right” you nodded, reaching into your bra to retrieve the key to the pad lock on your stomach and grunted with relief when the pressure of the chains dropped to the base of the tree.
“Now where are the guards?”
“They’re at the metal gate that blocks off the area, I think if we’re quiet maybe we can...”
“You stay here, I’ll only be a minute”
He was gone before you could protest, and back before you could think of a good argument, your heavy back pack over one shoulder. He dropped it on the ground and you unzipped the largest pocket. Everything was still there, including the large metal flashlight on top.
“Okay” you smiled a little, flicking on the light. “Let’s get to work, now I’ll...” You looked up faster than the man could dodge and you froze at the sight of him in the yellow beam.
White as chalk, with silvery hair and golden eyes.
So that’s what he meant.
“Who are you?” you whispered softy. He had turned away from you for a moment, but with a sigh turned back and stared you down, his eyes daring you to say something smart.
“It doesn’t matter”
“It does to me.”
He frowned. “My name is Prince Nuada, Silverlance....”
You blinked a moment, completely blind sided.
When it became clear that you weren’t going to move before he did, he sighed and grabbed your bag, examining it himself before pulling out a large can of hairspray and a lighter.
“What...?”
“It’s for if things get really messy...” you took the can from him. “Really messy”
You shoved it back into the back and instead pulled out a small hatchet, a gallon bag of kitty litter, a can of black spray paint, and a set of black gloves.
“How many times have you done this?” Nuada asked as you pulled on the gloves and tied back your hair tightly.
“Five”
“How many times have you gotten caught?”
You stood up, the spray paint can and the plastic bag in one hand and the hatchet in the other. You handed him the hatchet slowly.
“I’ll get the windows and gas tanks, you slash the tires”
Nuada eyed the hatch, a small smirk forming on his face as he brushed it aside and, from his back, retrieved a short handle spear that seemed impossibly sharp even in the darkness.
“I have my own, thanks.”
You nodded.
“You know, I don’t think I’ve ever met a human like you.” He noted and you side eyed him.
“Well, with all due respect. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone like you period.”
Nuada nodded.
You worked quickly, keeping a constant watch for the guards who could show up at any time. You blacked out the windows and gauges on the machinery and funneled debris into the gas tanks, while around you there was a steady chorus of deflating tires. 
“Alright” You breathed, “I think that’s all of them.” You turned, trying to find him in the dark but he had vanished. 
Shining your flashlight around you sighed and nodded. “Thanks again, whoever you are.”
You had to go, knowing the crew would be coming early, and it was already past midnight. You jogged towards the fence and climbed over, all the while wondering what exactly just happened.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Every pound of your foot against the dirt road is like a harsh squeeze to your overly full bladder. You silently curse yourself for not using the bathroom before you left for the run and then give your almost empty water bottle a dirty look.
When you’re sure one more step will have you peeing your pants you make an abrupt stop and search your surroundings…there has to be somewhere you can pee.
You notice a small clearing behind some short bushes. If you squat low enough you should be hidden from at least everyone coming from behind you on the path. Anyone running the other way, well, they might get a nice glimpse of your ass.
You gingerly walk over, worrying any jolting movement will be disastrous, and give the area one more check. It looks clear and the only sounds you hear are the rustling leaves in the light breeze.
You pull down your shorts and panties, squatting low and positioning yourself so you won’t get pee all over you.
When the flow starts you sigh in relief, the pressure in your lower abdomen subsiding with every passing second…and the seconds seem to tick on and on until you’re just about done.
And then you hear it.
The loud rush and stamping of what sounds like hundreds of feet, all coming toward you from, of course, the way that you’re exposed.
“Oh shit!” you mutter, struggling to push out the last drips and shake dry.
You frantically try to dry by waving your ass around as the noise gets louder and just as you peak over the bushes you see a stampede of goats galloping toward you. You’re so shocked that you nearly lose your footing and fall over.
You manage to pull up your panties and you’re just about to get your shorts over your ass when a loud and booming voice shouts from behind the goats.
And then you see him.
His dark hair is long enough to hang loose at his broad shoulders and the closer he gets you can see his muscled chest move and flex as he chases after the goats. The sight temporarily stuns you and it isn’t until he spots you still crouched behind the bushes that you let out a shriek and make a run for it, shorts still half on.
“Wait!” You hear his deep voice. “I’m not going to…”
Whatever he was going to say is muffled by the hard ground slamming into your body as you fall, the blood whooshing in your ears and your heart beating rapidly.
You scramble to your feet again, the sound of cracking branches and crunching leaves close behind you.
“Come on,” you urge yourself with a violent rush.
You hear him again. “Are you hurt?”
You realize he’s too close and you’ll never get away so you make a sudden turn on your heal and rush the man with all your strength. You collide with his hard body, hoping to throw him off so you can get away but instead he cushions you against him and you both fall down in a heap of tangled limbs.
“Fuck,” you hear him grunt. “Are you ok doll?”
His gentle touch is surprisingly soothing and you let out a shaky breath.
“I’m…I’m ok,” you say quietly, pressing your hand to his chest to sit up.
Your fingers meet warm skin, the collection of hair along his chest soft under your touch even as his hard muscles strain. You realize he’s wearing denim overalls and no shirt. The image makes you swallow hard against the dryness in your mouth, your eyes lingering on the expanse of his exposed skin.
“James Barnes,” he says with a lopsided smirk, holding out his hand. “But you can call me Bucky.”
“Are these your goats?” you ask, looking past him to see that you’re now surrounded by what seems like hundreds of goats. “Are you a farmer?”
“Uh…well yeah. They got out of their pen this morning and I found them running along the path,” Bucky explains before his eyes drop to your exposed panties.
You suck in a breath and scramble back, yanking your shorts up the rest of the way.
“Oh my god,” you whisper. “I cannot believe you saw me peeing!”
“Well, to be fair, I didn’t really, mostly just saw you running away with your pants down,” he chuckles. “Must have really had to go though. Peeing in the woods is dangerous. Poison ivy…bugs…rogue goats.”
You stare at him, finally taking a moment to look at his face.
A definite mistake.
His perfectly shaped eyes are lined with dark and long lashes and the ocean blue color sparkles in the sunlight. His chiseled jaw is lined with a dark beard, the little patches of gray sprinkled throughout adding to his rugged handsomeness. His lips are pink and plush and when he smiles again you feel a tingling down your spine.
His humor is lost on you, your current embarrassment and twinge of fear overpowering your senses.
“Shit, shit, shit,” you mutter, shaking yourself from your reverie. “How do you I know you aren’t going to kidnap me and kill me?”
“I’m not,” he states, clearly amused.
“And I’m just supposed to believe that! You saw my ass!”
“What’s that got to do with it doll?” he asks, holding out his hand to help you up after he stands. “It is quite nice though.”
You scoff and place your hand in his, squeaking when he lifts you to your feet with ease, the feel of his calloused fingertips sending a tremble through you.
“How many sheep do you have?” you ask as you survey the fluffy observers and ignore the heat of awareness at his touch.
“Oh, probably over two hundred. But this is only half of them. I like them to have a lot of open land so I keep them in two separate very large grazing areas.”
One of the sheep closest to you let’s out a loud and seemingly annoyed ‘baaaaaaaaaa.’
Bucky laughs and pats it’s head softly.
“Almost time to eat,” he says.
You start to walk back toward the path but when you put pressure on your left ankle you wince and cry out in pain.
Bucky immediately slides his arm around your waist and leans you against him.
“Hey now, easy there doll. Looks like you have a nasty sprain and your knee is all scratched up.”
The concern in his voice softens your features and you let yourself sag into his hold.
“I really am sorry,” he says quietly, his tone full of sincerity.
“It’s ok,” you sigh. “It’s not your fault. You were right. I shouldn’t be peeing in the woods by myself. I just had to go so bad.”
“I get it,” he answers, helping you hop back to the path. “How far are you from home?”
“A six-mile run and then a car drive!” you huff. “This is my first time running over here. I recently moved nearby and I usually just go around the neighborhood but needed a change of scenery.”
He nods in understanding.
“Well, you can’t run anywhere with your ankle,” he tsks. “But thankfully my house is just half a mile up the path there.”
He motions around the curve with a smile.
“Are you just going to take me there so you can tie me up in your basement.”
“Mm tempting,” he muses, his eyes bright with playful mischief. “But how about we go get you cleaned up and put some ice on that swelling.”
“Ok, ok,” you relent, giggling when he starts down the path and all of the sheep start to follow him.
“Look at them,” you say in wonder.
He stops to turn and glance behind him, the sheep halting the moment he does.
“Start walking again,” you say excitedly.
He takes a few more steps and the sheep start trotting again.
“Now stop,” you snort.
He stops and so do the sheep.
“Amazing,” you laugh. “They are so cute.”
“Thanks…” he trails off, looking at you expectantly.
“Oh right,” you mumble and introduce yourself.
“That’s a pretty name,” he says, repeating it. “I was about to call you sunshine…since ya know…”
“WHAT?” you ask, narrowing your eyes.
“Your panties are that sunshiny yellow color…” he states, waggling his eyebrows.
“It’s a good thing you’re cute,” you mutter as you continue hobble along.
It’s surprising and slightly disconcerting how comfortable you feel in his arms but if the goats trust him…
The sound of the goats hurrying behind keeps you smiling despite the discomfort in your knee and ankle. When you reach a small path that turns off the main road you look ahead and see a beautiful farmhouse, complete with a large porch and wooden fence.
“Do you live here all alone?” you ask.
“Just me and the animals,” he replies. “A lot of them.”
The words are barely out of his mouth when a large white and fluffy dog comes bounding off the porch, barking loudly and tail wagging wildly.
“Winter!” Bucky commands and the dog slows as he approaches and sits.
“Good boy. Now be careful,” he instructs, calling the dog forward.
Winter inches closer, his butt wiggling with barely contained excitement, and gently nudges your hand.
“Oh, he’s SO CUTE!” you gush, petting him.  
Winter follows you and Bucky as you make your way past the fence and up the steps of the porch.
“Just wait here for me. Winter will stay with you,” Bucky says. “I’m going to get the goats back in their pen.”
“Ok,” you exhale, sitting gingerly on the porch swing.
Winter plops down and rests his head on your thigh.
“Such a good boy,” you coo, scratching behind his ears. “Your dad has to be a good guy…right?”
Winter’s brown eyes study you, soft and sweet.
Bucky returns and before you can stand he lifts you into his arms and carries you through the door to his house.
“Don’t people usually get married and then do that?” you giggle as he sets you down on the couch.
“Already planning our wedding?” he teases.
He walks into the kitchen, somehow managing to move his large body gracefully around, every so often glancing your way with a smile.
“Tea?” he asks. “Coffee?”
“Just water for now please,” you answer.
He comes back with a tray of snacks and a cold glass of water, setting it down on the coffee table before sitting on it and lifting your leg to rest on his knee.
“Sorry if this stings,” he whispers, patting your cut with disinfectant.
You suck your teeth but manage a smile when he gives you an apologetic look. Despite his obvious strength, his touch is delicate and he takes special care to clean your cut, apply antiseptic and cover it with a band aid.
“You’re all set,” he says, stroking his thumb over your thigh.
Your eyes fly to his and his gaze wanders over your face in an interested and appreciative way.  
“I have some ice for your ankle,” he says, clearing his throat. “Sit back.”
You push yourself back against the pillows and move your leg to rest along the couch. He grabs another pillow and sets a towel down with the ice pack then lays your foot atop it.
“Thank you,” you murmur, watching him intently.
“Of course,” he says, as if it isn’t bizarre to have a complete stranger in his house, strewn across his couch.
His gives you another boyish smirk and you have to will yourself to disregard the sudden heat in your lower belly.
“How long have you lived here?”
He stands and walks back to the kitchen, calling Winter to follow.
“I grew up in the city. Loved it but as I got older I realized I wanted something quieter so I sold my apartment, moved out here, bought this farm and well…here I am, almost ten years later,” he explains.
“It’s beautiful.”
As you say the words you look around the space, noting the calm colors and the cozy feel of the thoughtfully placed furniture.
“What about you?” he asks, placing Winter’s food bowl down.
“My story is pretty similar actually, minus the farm…and goats,” you giggle. “Just needed a change of scenery. I like it here.”
You share a sympathetic look before he blurts out, “what can I make you to eat?”
“You’re gonna feed me too?” you ask with raised brows.
“Wouldn’t be very gentlemanly if I didn’t, now would it?” he counters. “Besides, I’m always hungry.”
The hint of flirtatiousness in his voice leads to your next question.
“Did you just say something dirty to me?”
He throws his head back with laughter, pressing a hand to his chest before he settles with a shrug.
“Just stating the obvious. I love to eat.”
You let your eyes sweep over him approvingly. “I bet you do.”
“Now who’s flirting?” he fires back.
His study of you turns intense and you almost squirm on the couch.
“What were we talking about?” he asks, clearly distracted.
“Ummmmm…food!” you say, far too loudly.
“Right. Lunch! What can I get ya doll face?”
“Anything that’s easy is good,” you tell him.
He smiles and settles into the kitchen, pulling things from the cabinets and fridge. You let your eyes close for a few moments, relishing in the sound of the birds outside and the rustle of leaves in the wind.
Your eyes shoot open when something hits your lap and you let out a loud gasp, giggling when you see a white fluffy cat now seated on you.
“Hey there,” you say softly, scratching under her chin.
“I see you’ve met Alpine,” Bucky says, looking over. “She’s never getting up by the way.”
Alpine, seemingly aware of Bucky’s warning, kneads at your shirt before circling once and laying down in a round ball of fur.
“She’s beautiful. Like the cat version of Winter!”
“It is kind of funny how they look the same except Winter has the brown eyes and Alpine the blue. Both rescues,” he adds.
“Lucky them,” you say as the cat purrs contentedly in your lap.
“So, you don’t think I’m a serial killer anymore?” Bucky asks with a grin.
“Can’t be,” you answer with a yawn. “You wouldn’t have such sweet animals.”
He chuckles before carrying some plates past the couch and out the French doors at the far end of the large room. You try to sit up and see where he’s going but he’s lost from view.
When he returns your curiosity is written on your face and he explains, “back porch has a picnic table. It’s nice out so I figured we could sit there.”
He reaches for your hand and then wraps his arm around your waist to help you up. Alpine meows in annoyance but follows you out, Winter right behind.
The wooden picnic table is beautifully made and set with two plates and enough food fit for six.
“You weren’t kidding,” you mutter, taking in the spread.
“Nah doll. I’m a growing boy, need to eat,” he says, patting his stomach.
You scoff with a smile. “Says your six pack.”
“How do you know if I have a six pack?” he says, eyeing you playfully.
“Because of course you would. Look at the rest of you.”
“You’re welcome to look,” he croons, unbuckling one strap of his overalls.
He lets it fall just far enough that you get a peek at half his toned abs and the distinct V shape at his hip.
“That’s unfair,” you breathe out. “Might be eight.”
“Farming is hard work doll,” he states as he helps you sit and moves around to the other side of the table.
“Aren’t you going to buckle that back up?” you ask as your legs squeeze together under the table.
“Nah,” he answers as he serves you some food.
“Tease,” you mutter and look down at your plate. “Wow this looks good.”
He winks when you catch his eye again and the butterflies in your belly flutter to life.
“Fresh eggs from my chickens and the vegetables are from my garden.”
“You really are busy,” you mumble through a delicious mouth full. “And when did you learn to cook?”
You sit for a long time, talking and laughing and nibbling at the food, unaware as the day moves on and the sun starts it’s descent in the sky.
With a yawn and a stretch, you ask for the time, your eyes widening when he says it’s almost four pm.
“Shit,” you groan. “I have to get back to my car.”
“You can’t walk back,” Bucky states with a tone that leaves no room for argument.
“Then what am I going to do?” you ask, popping your shoulder with sass.
He laughs, giving you a challenging look.
“You’ll stay here until tomorrow. Then I’ll take you back to your car on the tractor.”
“Why can’t you do that now?”
“You can’t drive on that ankle; you need to rest more.”
“Are you a doctor now too?”
“Doll,” he warns, standing to gather the plates. “You’re staying. It’s the safest.”
“Staying in some man’s house that I just met is safe!” you argue even though it’s clear by your expression that you’re just busting his balls.
“We’ve already spent half the day together and don’t worry I don’t bite,” he simpers.
He grabs a few things and rounds the table, leaning down close to your ear, his warm breath caressing your skin when he whispers, “unless you want me to.”
You shiver at contact, digging your teeth into your bottom lip to keep your moan quiet.
“Smooth Bucky,” you joke, ogling his ass as he walks back into the house.
“We’ll see…” you hear him call back.
Once the table is cleaned off he comes back and slides his arms under you, lifting you and cradling you against his chest.
“I can walk you know.”
“But where’s the fun in that?” he responds.
“You are warm,” you whisper, toying with the one buckle of his overalls.
“Winter and Alpine think so too,” he says. “They are always sleepin’ on me.”
“Can’t blame them…”
Your words are sleepy and muddled as your eyes start to droop closed. “I’m so sleepy.”
“It’s been a long day,” Bucky says. “A nap will do you good.”
“Mm a nap,” you murmur and snuggle into his chest, tucking your head under his chin.
Tumblr media
When you wake two hours later the sun is low in the sky, painting it in hues of pink and orange. You’re curled up on the couch, Alpine settled on your hip and Winter laying on the floor just under you.
“Hey guys,” you say, greeting them both with alternating pets. “Where’s your dad?”
“Right here,” Bucky says and you sit up to find him.
He’s walking down the hallway in nothing but his towel, eyes dancing with mirth and flirt as he watches your lips part and hears your sharp intake of breath.
“Why are you naked?” you ask him, forcing your eyes to stay on his face.
“I’m not,” he smirks. “How was your nap?”
“Nap…?” you question, letting your eyes fall to his bare chest.
“I new it was eight,” you mutter, falling back to the couch with a huff.
You can hear him chuckle before his head appears over the back of the couch.
“Do you want a shower?” he asks. “Or something to eat?”
“I can’t tell if you’re genuinely asking me these questions or you’re just using some sort of code for dirty talk.”
“Take it however you want doll face.”
He walks away back down the hall and you look at Alpine, mimicking Bucky’s words with mock annoyance.
Tumblr media
Opting for a shower you turn the water on hot and stand under it for a long time, bearing most of your weight on your good leg. You will yourself to think of anything other than Bucky but the image of him shirtless and wet is burned onto your brain.
“Fuck,” you grumble, resting your head along the tiles.
After washing and rinsing you leave the shower and grab a towel, wrapping yourself in the fluffy warmth.
“Even his towels are amazing,” you say to yourself with a roll of your eyes.
You look around the bathroom, realizing the only clothes you have are dirty running shorts, a tank and a sports bra, not to mention your ‘sunshiny’ yellow panties.
With a groan you quietly open the door to the bathroom and call to Bucky. He jogs down the hallway, now dressed in a tee shirt and fits him divinely and sweatpants that hang low on his hips.
“You ok doll?” he asks, his concern clear.
“I have no clean clothes,” you say.
His dons his signature lopsided grin and holds up one long, thick finger. Within seconds he reappears with a folded shirt and shorts.
“Hope this ok.”
You take the clothes with a thanks and close the door. When you’re dry you throw the shirt over your head, swimming in the fabric and his scent. Your eyelashes kiss your cheeks with your deep inhale and you run your hands down your body.
“This is bad,” you say to yourself as you slip on the shorts.
You find Bucky in the living room, laying across the couch with Alpine on his chest.
His gaze runs down the length of your body and he keeps staring, the intensity of it growing.
“What?” you whisper.
“I just met you…less than twenty-four hours ago.”
He gently lifts Alpine off his chest and sits up. “I shouldn’t feel like this.”  
“It’s crazy, I know,” you say, feeling grateful you aren’t the only one feeling the deep connection.
“I like you in my clothes,” he whispers as he stands from the couch. “Maybe a little too much.”
You look down at his shirt and fiddle with the hem, suddenly feeling a slight twinge of nerves.
“How’s your ankle?” he asks, stepping closer and tucking his fingers under your chin to lift your focus back to him.
“Ok, just a little sore,” you answer.
“Probably shouldn’t put too much pressure on it,” he says, close enough now that his chest brushes yours with every breath.
“Probably not,” you say as your fingers slide down his muscled arms.  
His hands fall to your waist, his thumbs slipping under your shirt and brushing against your skin. You lean into him, closing any space left between you.
You can feel his heart thumping wildly beneath your fingertips and the blue of his eyes blazes.
“Take me to bed,” you whisper, feeling as if you’ll burst out of your skin if he doesn’t touch you.
His arms slip under your ass and he lifts you up, powering down the hall into his bedroom. The door slams behind him and he gently eases you to your feet. You lock eyes and you swear you’re falling.
And then you literally are as he throws you onto his bed, his expression quickly turning to one of concern when he remembers you sore ankle.
“Doll?” he worries, leaning over you. “I got carried away. Did I hurt you?”
“Not at all,” you assure him, brushing the hair from his face. “Don’t worry I won’t break.”
He takes the hint and presses his lips to yours, sliding his arm under you and pulling you closer. The kiss is on fire and it takes everything in you to finally pull away for air.
“Clothes off,” you murmur, pushing on his chest.
He sits up and straddles you, taking off his shirt. You reach up to touch him and in the same motion he has the shirt over your head, his eyes glazing over as he stares.
“Do you even realize how sexy you are?” he asks with a groan, cupping your breasts and rolling your nipples between his fingers.
Your back arches and you lean into his touch, rolling your hips against him. He releases your breasts only so he can push the sweatpants down his thick thighs before tugging on your shorts.
He kisses you again, his beard scratching along your skin and sending goosebumps racing across it. Your hands dive into his hair, tightening when his fingertips glide down the soft curve of your waist and between your legs.
“Fuck doll, you’re soaked,” he moans with a teasing touch.
He slowly pushes a finger inside you, his eyes falling shut at the feel of you warm and wet around him. A second finger joins the first and he pumps them in and out, your hips meeting every thrust of his hand.
Your fingernails curl into his broad shoulders, his name falling from your lips like a prayer and when his thumb circles your clit your stomach tightens until the tension breaks like a wave, your walls squeezing around his fingers.
Without giving you time to catch your breath he pulls his fingers free and takes your injured leg to rest it over his shoulder, the action spreading you open for him. He pushes inside you, his teeth gritted at how tight and swollen you are.
“Fuck,” he hisses, “you feel incredible.”
His movements start off gentle, the slow glide of his cock driving you insane. You dig your fingers into the muscles of his back, urging him to move faster and he does. He angles your hips and pushes deeper, every thrust of his hips threatening to send you over the edge again.
He slams into you hard enough to bang the headboard against the wall, the sound barely registering over your pleas for more. Your walls begin to tighten and he swells inside of you before you cry out his name with your release.
He follows only moments later, his hips jerking against you and his face falling to your neck.
“Fucking hell,” he groans, pressing a soft kiss to your skin.
You lay there, loving the weight of him as your body practically melts into the mattress. He gently sits up on his arm, his fingertips ghosting across your warm skin and down to your ankle.
“You sure you’re ok?” he asks.
“I’m more than ok,” you answer. “Fucking fabulous.”
He laughs at that and gives you one more kiss before disappearing into the bathroom. He returns with a soft cloth, walking purposefully toward the bed and letting his eyes linger on your sweaty skin. His cock bounces as he starts to grow hard again and you let out a moan.
“I want you again,” he says like it’s a no brainer and then falls next to you on the bed, his touch delicate as he presses the cloth between your legs.
“But first I’m going to taste you doll.”
Tumblr media
Your body slides along the soft sheets, the morning sun warm on your bare skin and the feel of something warm and furry pressing against your legs. With a languid stretch you open your eyes and look to the edge of the bed to see Winter sleeping peacefully, his large body leaning into your bottom half and Alpine curled up on top of your legs.
Bucky’s side of the bed is empty but there’s a small note on the pillow that reads, “I’ll be outside in the yard when you wake up,” and it has a small heart drawn below.
You take your time getting up, rousing the animals who protest with even slower movements and loud yawns. Grabbing Bucky’s shirt, you throw it over your body and go to the bathroom to freshen up.
When you walk into the kitchen and look through the window over the sink you see him out in the pen with the goats. Calling for Winter you walk outside, admiring the view of Bucky in nothing but a pair of jeans and his boots.
Winter barks and Bucky turns around. He has a small white goat tucked under his arm and as he saunters toward you it’s hard to restrain your giggles.
“Mornin’ sunshine,” he croons, dipping his head to kiss the corner of your mouth. “How did you sleep?”
“Like a baby,” you answer, reaching out to pet the goat.
“And your ankle?” he asks, looking down.
“Not too bad this morning. Not as sore and definitely less swollen.”
“Good doll face” he smiles. “Now let’s get some breakfast in ya before I take ya back to bed.”

Do ya ever think about Andy and Annie's dance during "Rag Dolly" and feel like watching that specific scene on loop AND sorta feeling like doing their little dance with someone at the same time 'cause hhhhh I love it and those sibs a bunch, it's just the somftest and adorablest dance to a likewise comfy song made more so by Andy's singing and I get a genuine burst of serotonin revisiting it (and lowkey that scene/song alone was what got me to watch the musical for the first time a couple years back :> if ya also have knowledge on who animated their dance or any part of Rag Dolly for that matter that'd be cool to learn about too! but I understand if that might end up being a lot to share :0)
AAAH i love love love that sequence so much!! its the cutest dance it has so much character and Andy's voice becoming so gentle and sweet right after singing No Girl's Toy is just the best thing ever. he doesn't even like Babette he's just helping his sister make a good impression.
analysis under the readmore:
what's crazy is looking through this whole book - i'm talking about The Animated Raggedy Ann  & Andy - An Intimate Look at the Art of Animation Its History, Techniques, and Artists by John Canemaker (the linked version has no pictures D-:) - Rag Dolly isn't really mentioned that much, despite being essentially the main theme music.
i would love to tell you more for a fact, but i just can't say for sure who animated it, as a lot of scenes aren't credited individually.
for some songs, like Richard Williams doing No Girl's Toy, Tissa David doing Candy Hearts, Art Babbitt doing Blue, and Emery Hawkins doing Never Get Enough, the artists get a section dedicated to them and the main chunk of animation work they contributed. in the credits of the film, Art Babbitt animates the Camel, Emery Hawkins animates the Greedy, etc etc - they were generally in charge of those character-centric scenes, along with a team of inbetweeners, painters, etc.
there isn't one for Rag Dolly, since it's relatively short and bounces between characters. so basically TAKE ALL OF THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT!!!
the ONLY expertise i have is that 1. ive flipped thru john canemaker's book and 2. i love this movie so much
what i CAN do is make wild guesses ^_^ and this first little verse as Ann fidgets with her dress and apron just SCREAMS Tissa David to me. here's a pose from that sequence side-by-side with one of her famous (and one of my favourite) Raggedy Ann drawings.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
here's something she notes about Ann's first action sequence of falling off the chair (she was set to work on candy hearts before anything else, to really get to know the characters):
Tumblr media
and here's a fantastically convenient gifset from Rag Dolly. EVERYTHING!!! her hair falling in her face, the movement of the fabric, the wonderful sense of timing. also note the lack of eyelashes, which isnt exclusive to one artist or anything, but does pop up in David's drawings:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
now to go on a tangent about an artist who could well have worked on that scene, and whom i wish there was some more info about!!!
"The only thing that Disney never understood is that to animate girls, one must be a girl!" - Tissa David believed (along with pretty much the rest of the team) that herself and Chrystal Russell (whose work is woefully sparse in the book but very much present in the movie) were the best animators of 'little Annie'. she also worked on Fern Gully; you can find her credits under her married name, Chrystal Klabunde! she supported Tissa as the primary actor for Raggedy Ann, and her style appears as this distinctive, adorable, muppet-y look throughout the film. these pics are examples of, if not her own drawings, then her stylistic influence in these scenes:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
she's credited as animating the playroom dolls, but you can notice her influence in Annie come through from the beginning ('I Look, and What Do I See?') to the end ('Home') of the whole thing. like i said, the credits are never too specific, but if i had to GUESS, then this looks like her stuff. we also know for a fact she worked on the first song because of this lovely set of drawings in the book!
Tumblr media
here's the sweetest photo of Didi Conn (Ann's voice) and Chrystal together with some clean-up sheets of a shot right before Rag Dolly - when Ann introduces herself to Babette, 'my name is Raggedy Ann, and this is my brother, Raggedy Andy,' (i still can't confirm whether they're her drawings but i wouldn't be surprised!):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
anyway tl;dr: i have no way of knowing for sure who was in charge of it, and no doubt a whole team of artists were involved, (and i'm in no way trying to discredit anyone if i'm wrong) but my best guess is you can thank Tissa David for the first part, and Chrystal Russell (now Chrystal Klabunde) for their dance together - the animation changes subtley between those shots. i wish i had more artists/resources to look at, or god forbid a full breakdown of that scene, but at this point i would bet money on David's part in Annie's little introduction.
also some final appreciation for this silly slide to the ground that Andy finishes with:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
anyway i'm SO sorry for going on such a long rant in response to this lovely ask!! and i'm sorry it took so long! it took so long, in fact, that i was actually accepted into university halfway through writing it the other day! so thank you!
i had so much fun playing amateur detective so double thank you!!! again i'm probably wrong about ALL of this but it was a blast to reread sections of the book and rewatch different bits of the movie to sleuth around for clues. i hope whatever i have come up with is of some interest to you, and i hope someone learned something about the wonderful artists behind this movie :-D
Tumblr media
chrystal and raggedy ann ^_^

AO3 || OTHER CHAPTERS
taglist: @looseratinthegarage @life-or-something-like-it @celebrain @themology @magicalus-godslayer
words used: sain’ja - warrior ooman - human ~~~
You never knew you could be capable of so much strength and agility. Even your senses got sharper afterwhile, since you weren't over stimulated by the mess of daily city life and stress from your work.
Hunting was a big part of his culture. Hunting for trophies, glory, social status in their clans. The first time you went hunting with your Yautja, he was pleasantly surprised. He took you to another part of his planet which was close to being a typical forest you knew well back home. You had some doubts about yourself at first, but you had some hunting knowledge in you after all. When you were a kid, your father occasionally took you with him to hunt. You learnt patience, handling rifles and staying hidden using the wind direction so the animals couldn’t smell you. It was years, but you still remembered it all. The fact you had your dog with you on the hunt helped too. To your Yautja disappointment, you weren't able to finish the first couple of hunts fully, but that changed over time. You two were going on adventures almost daily, each hunt taking longer and longer as you got stronger. You got numb to all the blood and death, finally hunting down and killing your first prey.
But can't we just go to Earth? We can get a bunch of food and other stuff for me, you've always kept asking him but he refused everytime. 
It's too dangerous considering the mess I've left there, was always his reply. 
He meant that it was dangerous for you, not him. Massacred soldiers in your house, blood and guts everywhere, alien fluids on the couch mixed with yours. He was right, you were not able to go near Earth for quite some time. You were surprised how little you missed your old life, your friends and even your family. Sometimes you wondered if they were even searching for you, or the government covered it all up so no one worried about you. They were more than capable of doing that.
When you two weren’t adventuring together, you stayed in his ship all the time. It was his home all the time, except the few occasions he came back to his homeland. He didn’t let you just wander around and explore by yourself to your disappointment.
You are not ready yet, he always said.
Not ready for this, not ready for that, not the right time for this and that. You didn’t understand what he was waiting for all the time, what he was afraid of. He was worried about other Yautjas finding out about you, maybe that was why?
When the time is right, you need to… prove yourself, was the reply to your question about his clan mates.
From what you knew about him and his species so far, you were almost certain that proving yourself meant obtaining some kind of worthy prey. Killing it and getting a trophy of it. You always shivered at the thought, not wanting to think about it any longer. Of course you were able to hunt some smallish animals, surprisingly similar to the earth ones, but you knew those weren't anything worthy enough in Yautjas eyes.
His ship was rather big, but soon you realized it's not big enough for you to get some time alone without your Yautja. He wanted to be near you at all times. You slowly learnt all his body and mandible language. You also learnt he was quite short tempered and he loved to be praised. Lots of things had to be done his way or he got annoyed. During your hunts, he made sure you're watching how he's sneaking to the prey before killing it. He always observed the animals way too long during hunts. For a long time you believed he was doing it only to show off himself, to make you adore him even more. As if it was possible to fall for him more, you always chuckled.
I don't care for the animals, I'm enjoying our time together while doing something I love… and you do too, he explained every time he saw you getting tired at the length of tracking the prey.
You didn't want to admit it but you enjoyed hunting too. The thrill, adrenaline of it. The danger of it, which he protected you from for now. You were looking forward to feeling the danger once the two of you started going after some bigger prey. He always laughed at you for not being able to keep up for as long as him and you were determined to prove him wrong, lasting longer the next hunt. He loved to tease you and you loved to tease him back.
Despite all his short tempered behavior, he had quite some patience with your dog. When your dog kept barking or whining to the point it made even you irritated, he remained calm. One time you caught the two through door space, your dog wagging his tail and licking your mate's knee, while he was using one finger to scratch your dog between his ears gently. It was truly an otherworldly sight as he never showed any interest towards your dog. Most of the time it looked like he regretted not killing him at first sight instead of taking him to the ship. The two of them slowly developed their own language you didn't understand. Different whistles and purring, your dog immediately knew what his new dad wanted. It always made you chuckle. Soon, your mate actually enjoyed having him at hunts and sending him after some small and weak prey and just watching him from the trees.
Cold breeze woke you up from your dream state, realizing your fur cover was gone and you were covered by the shadow of your mate, towering over you sitting at your legs. It was still dark, but you could see his yellow eyes piercing into yours with lust. 
The sexual tension between you two was almost touchable and not decreasing at all. It was only growing if anything. He was really demanding the past few days, wanting to touch you at any chance, be as close to you as possible. He was inhaling your scent way more often as if something had changed. Sometimes he seemed like he couldn’t control himself near you. He didn't know what personal space meant and you had a doubt he wanted to know, but you enjoyed his presence, his touches. You enjoyed the feeling of being wanted so bad. When you got overwhelmed, he had his ways to make you change your mind and you always let him have his way because you enjoyed it as well. It was all teasing games, you knew he wouldn't touch you if you really didn't want to. The way he honored and respected you, no one ever treated you like that.
You blinked at him, trying to wake yourself up. As you wanted to sit up, he leaned closer to you and placed his hand on your chest. Claws tickling your bare skin as he slid his hand under your shirt, giving you goosebumps. 
"Can't we take a single day off?" You laughed and stretched your body.
You wanted him, feeling the lust grow as your eyes ran over his muscular chest, but your lower area was still quite sore from yesterday. You could use a break. 
"Can't help it," he purred and squeezed your breast softly, making you moan silently. "I want to breed you."
"Breed me?" You asked confused. "I'm still a little sore down… down there." 
You placed your hand on your abdomen area and he tilted his head. 
"Maybe it just needs a massage."
Twirling the mandibles, his hand slid down from your breast right down to your crotch and rubbed against your clit. Your cheeks immediately heated up as you felt the pleasure growing in your lower belly. He nuzzled on your cheek with mandibles, his typical way of kissing. 
"It is the right time," he purred into your ear. "Mating season."
You blinked confused. 
"Mating season? What?" You asked between moans as he kept playing with your clit.
"It means it's breeding time… and I am gonna breed you."
You had a feeling it's not like a normal round you two had before, he wouldn't specify that I'm gonna breed you otherwise. He immediately felt your tension and hesitation. 
"Want me to leave? Say it, sain'ja."
When you opened your mouth to reply, he added pressure into the hand rubbing your clit, making you swallow all words you wanted to say and keep moaning instead. 
He for sure has his ways to make things go how he wants, you smirked in your mind.
Wrapping your arms around his neck, you pulled him closer to you. He clicked his mandibles, satisfied. You slid your hands down from his neck and found the clip on his belt, removing it together with him getting rid of your panties. His member slapped against your belly, reminding you of his size. He sat between your legs, grabbing them and placing them up against his shoulders.
"You know our DNA can't be combined, right?" 
"Even if it's true, I'm going to fill you up anyway." He replied in a deep growl.
He started to stroke his cock slowly, his eyes closing with pleasure.
If? Shot through your mind. You were certain two different species can't successfully breed. Maybe…
"Maybe there's a chance if we try hard enough," he said and placed his hand on your stomach. 
He easily covered your whole stomach from side to side with just one hand. It kept fascinating him, how small you were compared to him. Such a small ooman, able to handle yautja. Your small frame, trembling under his behemoth one, aroused him insanely. His cock twitched and he hissed, grabbing you by your waist and pulling you up towards him impatiently. The tip of his cock pressed against your entrance, you let out another needy moan. Your back arched in an unnatural position but you ignored it, your mind overwhelmed by the lust and thought of being railed by him. He slid his length inside you fully and started to thrust in a quick pace. You gasped in surprise, still needing a little bit of time to adjust to his size even though you two had many many rounds before. Without stopping or slowing down, his yellow eyes were fixated on your face, watching it grimace in pleasure. Your lips partly opened, moaning. He dug his fingers into your thighs, keeping them from falling off his shoulders. 
The position you were in made the whole act more intense. You never felt him so deep inside before, hitting your pleasure spot at such angle. Your vision was blacking out with every thrust he made. You heard him purr louder and louder as his pace increased. He let go of your legs and you slid down on the bed. Within a blink of an eye, both of you rolled around and you were on top of him, positioning yourself onto his member. You watched his face as you lowered yourself and his full length disappeared inside of you. His mandibles widened in pleasure. You felt his cock pulsating and started to ride him. Slowly at first, enjoying every single second, but he grew impatient quickly and pushed you down holding your waist, setting the pace as he wanted. You enjoyed teasing him, but also didn't want to prolong the climax you both were hungry for.
As your surroundings filled up with moans, your heart was beating rapidly and you felt your walls tighten around your mate's cock. His grip on your waist tightened as well and when you both came and you started to get weakened by the pleasure, wanting to lay next to him. He pushed you down into his crotch, the tip of his twitching cock so deep it was touching your cervix. Keeping you in place, you felt his warm seed filling you up. His claws scratched the surface of your soft skin as he released his load till the last drop. You felt the growing wetness underneath you, your pussy couldn’t even take all the cum. It was dripping out, even though you were still plugged by his cock. 
He released an annoyed hiss as he realized it’s dripping out of you because you were sitting on top of him. Fingers still dug into your sides, he shifted you under him with one quick move. You felt his cock still pulsate inside of you, making sure no more cum dropped out. He moved his hand to your cheek and caressed it with a finger, tickling your face with his mandibles, both of you enjoying the moment of intimacy.
You experienced many wild stuff with your mate already not only in sex, but this was the most wild and hot stuff so far. You could say it was one of the sweetest things too as you were all locked under him, surrounded by his strong arms, your face cupped by his and his hand. Raising your hand, you gently played with his dreadlocks. They were extremely sensitive, but touching them softly and running your fingers through them gently enough brought him much pleasure. 
“Not done yet?” You smirked, feeling his member growing and hardening in you again.
“This was just the beginning, my little brave ooman,” he groaned in reply and started to move slowly. “Breeding is a long, precise process.”
You knew he couldn’t smirk, but you swore you saw a big one on his face at that moment. Your body was weak already from the orgasm you just had and you felt like you had no energy, but when you felt him moving inside of you again, barely hitting the right spot, all the tiredness faded away. New wave of energy rushed through your body and you rocked your hips against his, wanting him to hit the spot fully. This time it took long before both of you were panting, filling the room with moans again. You were being filled with another load of his cum, mixing with your juices. Everything under you was wet and covered in it. 
Trying to catch your breath, calming your heart rate, you watched him pull his cock out of you completely covered in the mix of yours and his cum. Your arms, wrapped around his shoulders till now, fell next to your head. You were exhausted, out of your mind from another orgasm. He locked his fingers with yours and stared at you silently, covering your face with his hot breath, till you calmed down enough. 
Right when you opened your mouth to ask him about the length of the whole mating season, as he called it, you were flipped over on your belly and felt his cock near your entrance once again. If you thought two rounds were enough already, you were up for a real wild and long ride. He stood up on his knees and pulled up your butt. The second he let go of your sides, your legs lost balance and you felt like falling back down on your belly. Your legs were too weak to support you. Letting out a satisfied groan as he saw how good he fucked you, he positioned you back up and kept supporting you on his own, sliding his full length back into you.
Oh my–, shot through your mind before it went dark from the non stopping pleasure. 
~
Hours later of constant breeding, as he kept calling it, you laid motionless on the bed. Feeling like a ragdoll and covered in sweat, with your lower body covered in cum, weighed down by the full weight of your yautja who just collapsed on top of you. 
"My little sainja." He whispered. "Full of surprises."
It was the final round, even he was already exhausted. 
"Usually only strong female Yautjas are capable of such breeding."
You were dizzy, only noticing the deafening heartbeat making both of your bodies vibrate. Before, you believed it's impossible for two different species to have an offspring, but after being filled with cum whole day to the point you felt like it's in your stomach as well, you doubted it. If it was possible, you knew your mate was the one to make it happen.
You tried to move, but it felt like your whole body became one big piece of jelly. You gave up and coughed, sending a signal to your mate that it's hard to breathe underneath his weight. It was hard for him to move as well, but he shoved himself off you and rested right next to you instead. Wrapping his arms around you, he pulled you to him tightly like a teddy bear. The now calm, deep breathing of your Yautja snoozing, resonating in your ears as your head was right on his chest, made your eyes feel heavy quickly. You really wanted to go and wash away all the sweat and juices you both were covered in, but your body wasn't listening to you at all. You snuggled on his chest and let your eyes close, falling to sleep feeling completely exhausted, safe and loved.

Sorry. Had to rush out but left you a surprise in the kitchen. x
Tig gets the text as he’s stepping through the front door, and it makes him curse. The two of you have barely been in the same room together over the past couple of days and it’s starting to drive him a little crazy. He’s been on a run to Tacoma, and you’ve been spearheading the expansion of Cara Cara, it’s been a series of missed calls and short texts. The two of you just can’t seem to catch a break.
He's pissed off by the time he makes it to the kitchen, stripping off his kutte while grumbling because he is desperate to get his hands on you. He hasn’t had the taste of you on his lips for over a week, hasn’t heard you moan his name or felt your hands in his hair…
It’s the flash of hot pink that catches his attention.
His cock twitches at the sight of your panties hanging off the corner of one of his kitchen chairs. He reaches out to touch them and realises that the fabric is still warm, he must have only missed you by minutes. He gets a deviant little thrill when he picks them up because he realises you’ve come in them. He bunches the material in his fist and presses it to his face, inhaling the heady aroma of your arousal.
“Fuck.” He utters as he yanks at his belt and buttons his jeans. He bypasses his underwear, his rough palm wrapping around his cock as he begins to jerk himself off. He isn’t tender with it, he’s powerful, forceful because it has been too fucking long and he knows this little gift is your way of apologising for ruining his plans.
You smell so fucking good, he can’t get enough of you. The dampness of the fabric caresses his lips, he draws it into his mouth, his tongue flicking over it so he can fucking taste you. It’s almost too much, he feels like he’s surrounded by you. He moans into the fabric as his climax begins to tingle at the base of his spine, shooting through his synapses like an IED before he draws your underwear out of his mouth and wraps it around his leaking cock.
He comes loudly, with a strangled cry, spilling himself into those filthy little panties of yours with abandonment. It knocks the air right out of him, he finds himself hunched over the kitchen table trying to catch his breath as he stares at the hot pink underwear still clutched in his hand. He gropes for his phone, flicking open the lock screen with his thumb before taking a picture of the ruined undergarment and sending it to you.
“Look what you made me do.”
Love Tig? Don’t miss any of his stories by joining the taglist here.

Modern aemond targaryen HC’s
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Requested by anon: hi girlie, saw you want some requests<3 if so, give us some thoughts about aemond in modern au!!
This is short so I apologize.
Taglist: @dangerousbluebirdpoetry @second-try-stevie @prettyinblack231
Warnings: Non
Tumblr media
Aemond Targaryen was the middle child of the family.
Everyone in his family were horseback riders and everyone competed. Their family was always winning and one the bests in the world.
He how ever didn’t have a horse, no matter how hard he tried they just didn’t like him and he just wasn’t skilled enough.
The other kids in his family made fun of him for it so he constantly was putting himself down. So he focused on learning and keeping up with his school work and others interests. 
Then slowly his left eye started to lose its vision. Then he went totally blind in that eye. He hated it because it was another thing he would have to get bullied for.
Time flew by and Aemond started to get colder and quieter. The only ones he would talk to was his mother and sister, not to be confused for his older sister from a different mother.
He was very smart and went on to travel around world with his teammates for quizzes and tests. Decathlon team is one of the few things he participates in.
I see aemond doing a whole bunch of things. Like volunteering at a animal Shelter, maybe on the debate team, joining a summer baseball team. The list is endless.
Man also has a part time job as a barista- I know it’s over used but you know it’s true.
Of course Aemond is a straight A student. But don’t get it twisted he is not with “the nerds”. He’s a mix between the bad boy and the quiet kids. He doesn’t like to talk to anyone and has gotten into fights and beaten the shit out of someone more then once. 
You can disagree with me on many things. But what you will not do is think this man doesn’t wear dark academia clothing. He’s rich and had a sense of fashion- Need I say more? (Also pic at the top is what I pictured)
Vhagar. A retired race horse that his aunt laena had before she died, but he snuck in one night after losing his eye trying to find something he desperately was looking for. Vhagar was mean and didn’t trust anyone and that’s why she was almost put down before laena took her in. Now, she’s Aemonds.
Needless to say he also trains Vhagar back to being a race horse and his damn good at it.
Some small HC’s with dating modern Aemond? 
He would visit the animal shelter sometimes and only saw you there a few times, mostly coming in when you weren’t there.
He would see how loving and caring you were to the animals there but never really thought about you before one day having to work close with you.
You’d come in while he’s with a cat and he’s having a hard time trusting aemond but as soon as the cat sees you it will slowly poke it’s head out. “Hello little guy.” You looked over at aemond and gave him a wave, asking if it’s okay to be here.
He said yes and you sat down and let the cat slowly come out to you and started to make conversation with aemond. He start to notice how good looking you were and the way your gaze softed each time you looked at the cat.
Sooner or later the cat was on your lap and was purring as you pet it. “Come here.” You patted the floor next to you and he was hesitant but did it anyway. “He loves pets and you both needed a push.” Taking his hand in yours and placed it on the cat.
And to his surprise the cat leaned into his hand and you laughed softly and he couldn’t believe how lovely it sounded to him.
After that Aemond couldn’t get you out of his mind. He would ask when you worked to maybe get paired with you again and slowly you both formed a friendship.
Then he asked you out on a date. He was actually really nervous when he did and you couldn’t help but find it cute. When you got to know him better you saw he was way different and was actually really sweet.
Dating Aemond would include:
Coffee dates
Book shopping dates
Him reading to you/or you both reading the same books.
Mans romantic and will take you on a cute picnic.
Please cuddle him because he’s so touched starved.
Will hold onto your hand and waist protectively and be like a guard dog.
Him getting insecure sometimes.
Being his shoulder to cry on and him doing the same for you.
Him getting angry a lot and you calming him down.
His family loving you because they see how much happier he seems to be with you. Alicent thinks your a angel and loves you to death. 
Aegon might flirt with you and aemond getting dragged away by you to stop him from fighting his brother.

°afab her/she
°Bi
°One piece or Overwatch
°Don't really wanna be paired with Sanji lol also not any one piece girls that I'm into except maybe Madam Shyarly and also not into Tracer or Mei
°I'm really freaking shy. I'm usually calm but sometimes depends on the mood so I can be easily annoyed, patient but not that patient. I'm ngl I'm lazy haha, I'm usually pretty stubborn and take some explaining for me to change my mind about something, reserved, very quiet in the beginning but when I get to know someone I'll slowly open up and can be quite talkative if I'm in the mood for it. I like to tickle people (that I'm close enough with) that are ticklish,
°Out of a relationship I want a life partner but def no kids (and leaning no towards marriage), a person I can always go to for whatever it is, no polyamory tbh,
°I love stargazing, playing video games, meditating, listening to music, working out is nice, cooking, hikes (but not like the super crazy ones where you need some equipment) shwimming, worldbuilding, drawing like architecture type stuff, tryna get into caring for plants and things I'm interested in are the ocean - I just love everything about it (the animals, the way it looks both under it and above such as the waves/shore and coral reefs), space (I find it fascinating, like whats out there y'know? And not to mention how beautiful it looks), I love philosophy (can have a bunch of interesting debates y'know?) Also thinking of learning to play guitar later on
°My wardrobe mostly consists of black clothes, band shirts (rock genre), skinny jeans - mainly also black but some have like red patterns and some have like pockets and zippers; think hot topic for an idea, I do have a few things that aren't like that like sweat pants, hoodies, some shorts I'd pair with tights. I paint my nails (mostly black) and I wanna have tattoos one day not sure which kind yet tho - leaning towards oceany beachy vibes or cyberpunk vibes, maybe a few space ones here and there.
°My type of guy is assertive, calm, quiet, - although I don't mind a more different kinda guy like more rowdy and whatnot. I like guys that are kinda blunt (if they know how to be blunt without being rude although I may sometimes overlook the rudeness depending) attractive, don't care for height although most people are taller than me, loyalty. As for girls same could be said for girls. Lookswise I like both of them to be more on the masculine side. Also if you wanna choose a non-human character for me I'd more than welcome it haha be it an omnic or fishman although no minks.. Not really into them tbh
°My music taste is mainly rock (a lot of rock subgenres I like but some I really love are here) and especially metal but I do love a few other genres that I'll listen to every once in a while such as r&b, electronic, pop, and some reggae but reggae is kinda rare for me mainly reggae that's got like a beach vibe going.. unless that's what the reggae seen is? Idk if there's reggae songs that don't have beach vibes but anyways! Also rock reggae is cool and so is ska punk or skate punk; that skateboarder (I think it could be known as that? Maybe im wrong idk lol I blame my crappy memory) music also gives me the beach vibes and there's been quite a few songs and couple o bands I enjoyed in that genre.
°My love language is quality time together and gifts, I can be pretty materialistic (not that much tho) as I just love shopping.
°Idk if mbti types could help but Im an Intp and I know zodiacs are just for fun but my zodiac is actually a lot like me which is Aries~ I also tend to have a preference more towards men than women; tend to like guys more often. I like my space so I can be alone from time to time - It's pretty nice and relaxing
-Thanks for letting me add stuff I forgot btw!!
notes - Hey anon! Your patience means the world to me and I really hope that you enjoy this! My apologies for the hiatus, but hey, I'm not getting paid to do this anyway lol. I really hope you have a super day and enjoy the matchup :)
THE CHARACTER I CHOSE FOR YOU IS...
ARLONG !!
Tumblr media
it just really fits
the beachy vibe, the love for philosophy and architecture, I just see y'all
he's a super blunt man, and you love that about him
and he loves you with all his heart. it's a lot of admiration for you. he just loves the things your passionate about and could listen to you all day
you two work really well together and travel a lot together
he overall just appreciates you as someone he can have by his side
bro spoils you. if your love language is gift giving, just know you will be showered with gifts
he's honestly the perfect partner to just work with and travel with that will meet your needs with lots of love <3

What is Queerbaiting?
Tumblr media
I had a good conversation about this with @ejassy the other day and figured I'd just make a post about it in case anyone else wanted to either share their own thoughts too or were just confused over what people mean when they say queerbaiting. Which CAN get confusing, especially when it gets used incorrectly ALOT.
So in short simple terms, for queerbaiting and its similar phrases?
Queer subtext: I normally think of this in 2 ways. The first being unintentionally gay. This was clearly not the intention of the writer ever, but the gay ships were just accidentally too full of chemistry and the ship shipped itself by accident even though the characters aren't "canon" gay (think batman and joker. Or Lord of the rings or Elsa from Frozen. Or like a good portion of misogynistic anime writers who can't write a female character that isn't flat AF lol)
Tumblr media
The second being where it can also be defined as INTENTIONALLY gay. Where instead of it being something that just happened, it was written like this pn purpose and with full intention of being queer and is in its own way, good queer representation, even if the queer relationship isn't ever technically confirmed, or only confirmed "off screen" by the writers. This is subtext and its sometimes left only as subtext because the romance is only a subplot or because of censorship. (Think Legend of Korra or Think Merthur from Merlin bbc.)
Tumblr media
Queercoding: acting queer or leaning into queer themes/subtext but not explicity queer for any number of reasons, including censorship for fictional universes or just being closeted. Basically there is enough subtext available for the audience to read them as queer regardless of if their sexuality is never confirmed either way. (Again, think Elsa. Or Jo March from Little Women, or think Nick Carraway from the Great Gatsby. Think of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji from The Untamed, the show not the web novel verison lol. Think Xena: Warrior Princess)
Tumblr media
Queerbaiting: obviously leaning into and promoting queer subtext and queer themes to keep gay fans on the hook and invested in your media with zero intentions of follow through. Almost at times even turning it into like a joke or just making it very obvious that the character was never actually queer. This was a term coined by queer theorist academics in the 1990s and didn't actually exist before then. This is not a term that can apply to real people. Real people can't queerbait. With very few exceptions to that "rule." Which I will discuss some of those possible exceptions in a bit. (Think Destial from supernatural, or Johnlock from Sherlock, or think Supercorp, Lena and Kara, from Supergirl. Or think Sam and Bucky from MCU, Bechloe from Pitch Perfect or Sterek from Teen Wolf. If anyone doesnt know why these would fall under a more queerbaiting label and dont already know, please feel free to ask for sure)
Tumblr media
There are some good sources out there that go into much more detail about what queerbaiting is, how it's been misused and more too as well if you have the time to watch them. This video was recommended from @guacamoli-avocadorado here. It is a great intro to the term and how it is used/should be used broken down in an easy to understand way. And it gives a bunch more examples like I shared above, etc.
youtube
And this one is longer but a really good and interesting dialogue about the topic. They take the definition of queerbaiting and expands upon it greatly as well as gives a very through dive down the history of queerness and queer subtext through film and media. This one was recommended by @chikooritajjk
youtube
Now, real people cannot queer bait. It's impossible UNLESS they have CONFIRMED their sexuality as "straight" and will sometimes "play gay," for an audience. And not just a straight actor playing a gay one, but doing something that is intentionally queer but backtracking and being like "well I mean, I'm straight so I didn't mean it." And doing so repeatedly and/or even making light of it or joking about it. Or even just being plain homophobic about it. Unless you are talking about the actions they take to promote their "brand" in an effort to profit off queer fans on purpose, while continuing to make it clear its not "that serious," then you could make an argument that that person is queerbaiting. Which, for clarification, two people of the same sex simply interacting together, even with lots of general affection, cannot be classified as queerbaiting ever. Especially because a person doesn't have to be "out" to act on their queerness. Our queerness is our own. No one gets to demand someone to give answers about their sexuality to confirm queerness or not before the public "decides" to keep trying to bully an answer out of them or not. You don't get to take self expression and someone else's comfort away from them for your own comfort in labels that don't belong to you anyway. The thing is, no one owes anyone any explanations about how they present themselves or what their sexuality is. You can't forcibly out people. "I think you are gay, therefore I'm owed an explanation and if you don't give me one, it means you are just queerbaiting" is WRONG. It's an umbrella media term, not a bullying tactic. This applys to everyone, random people off the street, actors, musicians, authors who write/engage in queer literature, public speakers, influencers, etc...
Tumblr media
There are some of kpop idol groups (or other celebrities in general) that could be classified as queerbaiting. Because they use queerness to build and promote their "brand" while otherwise never doing anything about it (even as an ally) and/or even being lowkey homophobic about it all or just continuing to make sure the audience knows they "arent actually gay." Or they use queerness in a way that fetishizies it, again without actually meaning it in any way. That's a whole seperate issue, and it could in ways be considered queerbaiting. Or it could more likely dig further into the issue of inauthenic queer fetishization used as a shock value for an audience to be used as sexual fantasies for their STRAIGHT audience, rather than to draw in a queer audience who are more looking for the possible authenticity of queerness or allyship in the celebrities/idols they are building these parasocial relationships with. Because again, unless you know what this person's sexuality is, how are you sure they aren't just exploring/or expressing their own queerness and aren't labeling it or are closeted for whatever their reasons may be, including just not being ready to come out yet.
Tumblr media
It is a fine line to walk, and there will probably be times in the "real life" instances above where you will have to use your own critical thinking skills to decide how you feel about things, etc. But for the most part, real people can't really queerbait. But hopefully this helps anyone who was/is confused. There are also a lot more resources out there if you wanted to continue looking into it. This is just what I know about it all myself too, if anyone has anything to add, they are free to do so. 💜

Hii uuumm , sooo , i've seen some drawings you've done , and i've noticed some drawings if people with 4/6 arms , and , im curius , did you just came up with the anatomy or did you use a guide or something like that ?? I've been struggling with a 4 armed oc and was wondering if you could tell me how you do It
Thank you :D
Howdy Sharm! So sorry about the late response 😭😭😭
To start… I’m a huge anatomy and physiology nerd (though sometimes my art doesn’t present that way haha!), so figuring out the bone and muscle structure is where I started. (Also I’m so sorry if this is too much information 😅)
In human anatomy, there are about thirty bones and four major muscle groups that contribute to the full structure and movement of AN (one) arm.
Tumblr media
So with bones, it is important to think about how long the sternum (middle part of rib cage) should be so the multiple clavicles can all connect to it; how the multiple shoulder blades (scapula) interact with each other (meaning does each arm have its own shoulder blade/socket? Or do some arms share a joint?); and the ribs’ length also matters but we won’t go that far into it.
Now that you’ve figured out the bones, looking into how muscles lag over them is the next step!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
To make it short, you really only need to pay attention to the pectorals (chest) and deltoids (the shoulder muscle). If you have multiple arms, you’ll have to have multiple pecs to have a full range of motion; so, adding a pair of smaller pectorals underneath the main pair is how I’ve tackled this problem. With the men, it just looks like two pectorals next to each other; but how I’ve designed women (since boobs) is by giving them only one pair of breasts. Women’s chests have the same muscular structure as men with the exception of extra fat deposits and mammary glands (for breast feeding).
I haven’t really figured out shoulders.. because.. how?? But the temporary solutions I’ve made are by having the arms either connect at the ball and socket joint (so one shoulder per arm) or having the inferior (lower) arm much lower than the superior (upper) arm… giving both enough space to have a full range of motion :)
But you don’t need to be super anatomical with it!! For example: here are some rough sketches I’ve saved that explain the anatomy of some of my characters.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But there’s also a bunch of reference from movies, manga, anime, cartoons, comic, and even religions!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are many paintings of hindu gods/goddesses showing their multiple limbs; so if you’re really having trouble, those religious paintings are always a great reference! Just remember to be respectful of the original artwork :)

So I guess I promised some friends a breakdown of the PMMM trailer
I think I should kick this off by saying I'm really writing this so I have a fast way of dropping all my hypothesising into a chat in one go. If you're not someone who knows me, I mean I guess you can read on anyway but like... don't expect these notes to be super coherent if you're not familiar with my arcane manner of diction. I'm only warning you, dear reader, because I love you.
Ok that got kind of weird. Let's start at the only place it really makes sense to.
Part 1: What on Earth actually happened at the end of Rebellion?
I see a lot of people who are confused about what exactly the final act of Rebellion implies. I see one of these people every time I look into a mirror. Still, let's try breaking it down.
So Homura, having broken out of the isolation field, is suddenly free to reunite with her girlfriend who is probably literally heaven. You almost can't tell that this anime is influenced a lot by nineteenth century theatre.
Tumblr media
So that's all well and good, until Homura grabs Madoka's wrists and does... something.
Tumblr media
What the hell's happening here?
...actually, the concept movie of all things does clarify a little, which someone's been kind enough to upload to Youtube with subtitles.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, you may be wondering: "The concept movie? Is that even still on the cards? I thought it was just a bunch of concept art and short animations." Or maybe you're thinking, "What the fuck is the concept movie?" And look, the thing is we're going to get to that.
Fuck me sideways this is going to be a long post.
So it appears Homura has somehow removed Madoka from the Law of Cycles - this is reinforced in Rebellion a few scenes later when she suggests as much to Sayaka, who she theorises was pulled back to Earth alongside Madoka (and Nagisa). But what's interesting about the concept movie is the implication that somehow there now exists a Madoka in heaven AND a Madoka on Earth.
Immediately after she does the Mysterious Thing, Homura's labyrinth grows to encompass the entire universe. Homura then bites down upon, and shatters, her own soul gem - and on a side note, Rebellion has surrounded her with the imagery of E.T.A. Hoffman's The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, in which biting through and swallowing the legendary nut Krakatuk is the only way to break the curse of the Mouse Queen. In biting through her own soul gem, Homura is presumably no longer cursed, whatever that means. This probably has something to do with her speech about having risen above hope and curses, and now having mind-melded with the gay allegations. The rumour come out, and it conquer the universe. Is she immortal now? Resistant to being cursed? Who knows?
Tumblr media
Following this, she gets some crazy kind of power up, which largely seems to involve wearing a hideous cocktail dress. Conspicuously absent in the extremely low cut of the dress is her heart surgery scar.
What?
Like, we know she's had heart surgery. This is one of the first facts we learn about her. Have you ever seen the scars from heart surgery? They're huge! So where is it? It's almost like the writer is a hack fraud who keeps forgetting that his own protagonist is severely disabled. But come on, there's no way that's the case, right?
Um.
So moving on, it's now the Incubator's turn to bear the world's suffering in the stead of magical girls. I... don't think it's super clear what this means?
"To handle all the curses that have spread around our world, you Incubators are now necessary for us. So you'll be staying to help, Incubator."
From the looks of the little dude in the ending scene, though, I'd not be too shocked if he was out of commission for a while.
Tumblr media
I could talk about the school hallway scene but I know you himedanshi fucks know that like the back of your hand. Instead I'm going to talk about
Tumblr media
Alright this image isn't really doing me any favours straight after I say I'm not going to talk about yuri. But bear with me here.
Homura appears to be capable of completely wiping Sayaka's memory by simply clapping her hands - which is all well and good, as spinoff material (especially Wraith Arc- aww nuts, I'm going to have to talk about Wraith Arc too now) states that memory manipulation is her power in the post-episode-12 universe.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Meanwhile, in her own labyrinth in Rebellion, Homura seems to be able to stop time just fine. Could it be that now that her labyrinth is the new universe, she has access to both powers? Well, she disappears instantly after wiping Sayaka's memory, so it could be the case.
What if she starts manipulating the memories of other people too...?
I'd like to briefly bring up another moment from Wraith Arc, where Homura expresses frustration with being able to remember a world nobody else can, and how it makes her own account of the past harder to believe. If she starts clearing the past from the memories of everyone around her...
Tumblr media
...would she have a hard time remembering it, too?
Part 2: So I basically watched the new trailer frame by frame like some kind of nerd
Here's some shit I noticed.
Tumblr media
We open on this smug jerk who looks a lot like Homura but is smiling way too much. At first I presumed she was some new girl who looks a lot like Homura and that's as far as the connection goes, plus she has a telephone that fucking sucks. I thought this because she also appears on the movie poster, which also has a phone that sucks.
Tumblr media
Look at that thing. What the hell.
But then I noticed:
The lounge she's sitting on is in the shape of a lizard, and
The red energy from which she conjures her phone is also a lizard.
Tumblr media
I don't know if you've noticed, but lizards are kind of Homura's thing now. See the epithet she gives herself in the screencaps of the concept movie above. If you're still not convinced, go back through Rebellion, and count the number of times a weird squiggly lizard shows up in association with Homura. I count at least three. Here's one on her new not-soul-gem:
Tumblr media
So, alright. What we have here is some kind of mysterious doppelgänger fooling about, maybe. A product of Homura's soul absorbing the universe? Potentially. We've seen a fair share of doppelgängers in her soul gem, of varying degrees of dubiousness:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another doesn't seem too far-fetched, even if she does appear prominently enough in this promotional material to imply she could be her own character.
Not sure I trust her dress sense, though. Those frills look a little familiar.
Tumblr media
The rest of this section of the trailer appears to be Madoka and this smiling Homura finishing each other's sentences, which is also how the concept movie opened. Is Madoka being puppeteered about? Is she under some kind of spell? Is there also some dubious other-Madoka and she and other-Homura are doing some Wario and Waluigi shit? I don't know. I don't know.
We immediately get a montage of Walpurgisnacht and Homura in black and white, using archival footage from the TV series and Rebellion. It ends with a gradually increasing focus on some kind of freaky eye motif:
Tumblr media
It feels like it bears mentioning a similar focus on a singular freaky eye in the concept movie:
Tumblr media
Could this have any sort of relationship to the giant eye at the end of the Magia ED?
fucking i dont know this is all guesswork
After the montage, we're introduced to this figure. Who are they?
Tumblr media
I think we can only guess. Probably Madoka, since other main characters have been getting new outfits, and if I may yet again refer to the concept movie, this wouldn't be our first look at Madoka in a darker outfit than normal:
Tumblr media
But it still looks pretty different. In fact, it seems to incorporate elements of Homura's and Mami's older outfits.
now the rational hypothesis is shes finally hit her growth spurt and is getting everyones hand me downs,
Next we get to what I think is the single most interesting shot in the whole trailer:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some figure (maybe the figure in the last shot, maybe Madoka, maybe they're the same person) becomes absorbed by what I've taken to calling the "Legendary Beast Wraith" (LBW), which doesn't really fit the bill of what wraiths look like at all. The electronic text seems pretty par for the course, as the more powerful a wraith gets, the more its physiology assumes the form of primitive, abstract shapes. From Wraith Arc:
Tumblr media
The concept movie corroborates this explicitly by having Oktavia fight a Satori wraith.
Tumblr media
But the gratuitous German and the gnashing teeth don't seem to fit with a wraith's M.O. at all. whatever LBW has going on seems far more up a witch's alley.
There's...
There's precedent for this.
The premise of Wraith Arc, for the uninitiated, is that wraiths are wary of the power of emotions, positive or negative, and that while they're not lethal like witches, they do incapacitate people by stealing their emotions and processing them into grief cubes.
A powerful group of wraiths stole Homura's emotions this way, but found themselves incapable of properly processing her feelings, and instead began taking on the likenesses of people she knew. One particularly powerful wraith, which had taken the bulk of her emotional energy, began to mutate and take on the qualities of Kriemhild Gretchen. It became known as the spindle witch.
Tumblr media
Don't ask too many tricky questions about this. Nobody understands Wraith Arc's final chapter, and it's not good. All I'm saying is there's precedent for wraiths with witch qualities.
But witch whic-
But whitch-
But which... witch... has LBW taken on qualities from, if this is the case?
Well, I'd like to bring to your attention four points.
The text in the latter of the screenshots of Leg Before Wicket's miasma reads "who" (I can't read Japanese, I'm just the messenger here) which feels like it's teasing the wraith's identity.
Walpurgisnacht is conspicuously absent in the second half of a trailer of a movie named after her.
Lower Body Workout's first initial stands for "Legendary", so it might be safe to presume we're looking after a monster of great renown.
That monochrome montage from earlier put forward a name that might fit the bill:
Tumblr media
If witches don't exist in the new world, wraith!Walpy seems about as plausible as anything else.
It also bears mentioning that whoever this is jumping into it appears to have left their shoes on the ledge they're jumping from. I doubt they expect to survive whatever's happening to them in this shot.
Bear with me. It looks like the eggheads at Tumblr are telling me to pack this in at thirty images. I'm going to have to make a second part to this.

Mutant Month: The Marvel Super Heroes: Dr. Doom's Day!: Hawkeye is an X-Man Now (Patreon Review for Emma Fici)
Tumblr media
Hello all you happy muties and welcome one and all, wether you fly, shoot rays out of your eyes, make pasta in your nose or your heart can shoot an all inspiring ray that teaches people how to truly love themselves and then explodes them inside out, all are welcome for a celebration of 60 years of the strangest heroes of all, the outlaws, protectors of those who hate and fear them, those undergoing a fall, the uncanny, astonishing, amazing, dark, immortal, red, blue, gold, black, and green, the
Tumblr media
As I haven't remotely hid on this blog but will repeat for newcomers, I love the x-men. Their my faviorite superhero team and are easily my faviorite franchise in comics, with spinoffs from New Mutants, to X-Factor to X-Men red all ranking among my faviorite comics ever. I love these characters dearly and haven't covered them nearly enough on here so I decided to celebrate the 65th anniversary with mutant month... and while we're a few months late due to moving and such, this month happening was never in doubt and wills tand as a yearly celebration of all things x.
So to kick this off we've got an odd little note in x-men history, one I wasn't even aware of till asking my good friend emma what animated apperance of the x-men she'd like to cover.. and finding out their first wasn't on spider-man and their amazing friends like i'd thought but much earlier, on a show known for awesome theme songs, shoddy animation and not much else. Yes folks before costarring in the friendly neighborhood, before all the 90's tastic spandex, before 2000s teenage angst and awesomeness, and before the last gasp till a revivial of said 90s spandex, the strangest heroes of all became the allies for peace and teamed up with one of the first mutants to combat the greatest evil the world had ever known on a barely animated marvel cartoon. Also hawkeye was there. So join me under the cut if i've peaked your intrest as we inter the limitedly animated world of the sub mariner and his allies for peace on the marvel super heroes!
The Marvel Super Heroes wasn't just the first animated apperance of the x-men, but the first marvel animated series PERIOD. Create din 1966 and running for 65 episodes (with each episode having three chapters to it but seeming to tell a complete story). The series was made on a budget somewhere BELLOW a paperclip and a piece of string, a singular bottle cap. They simply scanned the actual comics, barely aniamted them, added some effects and for lip movements used Syncro Vox. For those unfamiliar with it Synchro Vox was a super cheap effect where they cut out the characters mouths and had real human mouths recite the words. And if you say "Well jee whiz jake that sounds like a styigan nightmare from the deepest depths of my subconcious" then your right on the money. There's a reason it didn't outlast the 60s.
As you can imagine this .. looks pretty bad and it's better ot just read the actual comics. The actors TRY, they do, but static, barely perserved images on a screen just can't match the panel work in the original jack kirby art. Congradulations Marvel Super HEroes, you found a way to somehow make JACK KIRBY ART not work. I hope your proud.
It's only lasting impacts are , and i'm completely convinced of this, serving as the inspriation for this incredibles short
youtube
At first I thought it was cheap animation in general but knowing now this cartoon uses synchro vox and seeing this cartoon again.. yeah. Good on you crew for doing such an incredibly deep cut and making it work on it's own.
The other is the theme songs. The theme songs for the most part slap.
youtube
YOu'll also recognize the Iron Man theme song as they used a jazzy instuermental in his film. And given it's the best of the bunch it's easy to say.
There's two themes missing from this. The first is the shows theme itself. Which is... a lot.
youtube
I mean they did get namor down pretty down pat.
Tumblr media
So kudos. Speaking of Namor his absence from that montage kinda speaks to him as a whole. As doe shis theme being a bit.. less than the others
youtube
It's not bad, but you get they just didn't quite have Imperius Sex Machine as defined as the other 4. Captain America at the time was a man of action, who fought for the people and was a symbol of all of america has to offer. Iron Man was a playboy who kept people at a distance. Thor is a god full of the majesty and wonder that brings, and Hulk.. well okay Hulk's theme is just goofy but damn if it isn't fun and still gets the point across. But namors is "Look at him ain't he powerful. He rules a kingdom. So for those less familiar with the prince of the deep who might of missed wakanda forever, a quick recap: Namor started as a golden age super hero, one of Timely, the future marvel comics, first, and one of the big three of his day with the human torch, a diffrent one than the one who'd later flame on with the fantastic four, and Captain America. LIke most timely heroes he vanished to the sands of time for a while. So cue the Fantastic Four and the true birth of the marvel universe. And since Marvel coudln't just let their bigger names of days past simply lie around, they put the human torch moniker on our boy johnny storm. And once the fantastic four proved to be the hit they were, they decided to bring him back via this book to test the waters.
It's a clever return too: Naturally the person to bring namor back is Johnny Storm, the new human torch and spirtual successor to the original who Namor famously battled in the golden age. Johnny was a teen at the time and ran away from home eventually ending up at a homeless shelter.. and finding NAMOR. Turns out since wwII (an increasing gap but unlike most in comics one that dosen't need to be handwaved as Namor is immortal), namor lost his memory and grew a beard. Johnny uses his power to burn it off
Tumblr media
And unable to convince namor he's a freaky fish guy dunks him in the bay. The good news is this brings Namor back. The bad news.. is this brings namor back, who sees his kingdom in ruins and wages war with the surface. The four are able to mostly repel him, and Namor ends up taking a liking to JOhnny's sister Sue. These became his primary character traits: wanting to lash out at the surface, and wanting to nail Reed Richards girlfriend and later wife. Seriously just a few years later the guy buys AN ENTIRE FILM STUDIO when he hears Reed's gone bankrupt simply to try and win her over. As other books sprouted up he'd appear in them, mostly to punch the hero or be courted by various supervillians to team up with them as he was the hottest guy in prom. And that's where the decision to make HIM the 5th pillar of this show really makes me tilt my head. Namor isn't a TERRIBLE character. He's not one I like a lot, but it's simply because outside of his stint with the x-men, where both Matt Fraction and especially Kireon Gilleon really nailed him down: arrogant, but not without honor, powerfula s hell and knows it and while certainly willing to go after someones partner does so because he senses a lack of passion. Dosen't make it okay. Also as seen above it shows his tastes are wide, varied and awesome.
The problem is most of the time he's just an angry fish man with a pretty standard power set and a fairly boring kingdom. Wakanda forever completely redesigning it really helped the MCU version.
But just thinking of the remaining superhero books they could use while fantastic fours rights were elsewhere, as were spideys, they still had ant-man and the x-men. (The avengers were around but were largely saved to adapt in cap and iron man's shorts). I get it to a point: Ant Man had recently been canceled and X-Men.. weren't exactly a hit.
See the early x-men adventures.. aren't great. Their not terrible, there's some good ones as i've read them, and it's not exactly a big secret in the x-men fandom or marvel fandom as a whole that while the CONCEPT for the x-men was great: a new evolution of mankind with powers, that next step being largely teens and young adults struggling to control them.. but Stan Lee and Jack Kirby had no idea what to do with this. Stan 100% created the concept of mutants so he wouldn't have to make up an origin for every superpowered villian or hero. You can only use good ole radation so many times before people catch on and Thor, Cap and Iron Man all had super unique origins that coudln't easily be replicated. The most they could do thor wise is bring in another god from another mytholgy with herc.
But it was at it's core just weaker versions of the kinds of stories he told elsewhere and fell HEAVILY into
Tumblr media
Ant Man baffles me as while yes, his book was canceled.. they still had a WHOLE series to mine stories from with interesting visuals. He was still an avenger and he and jan played off each other decently when it didn't fall into Smilin Stan really not knowing how to write women.
SO I KINDA get it as Namor was more the default.. but it still felt like a weird choice given they didn't have mcuh to work with where he wasn't the villian and actively seemed to refuse to adapt any story where he was. IT was just an odd choice to pick someone who at the time was mostly an outright villian and most of whose character arc from that was in books they woudln't use.
So when you have to use WHATEVER you can, what do you do? Well if your this show.. you do something profoundly bonkers and hilarious.
The Actual Episode:
So.. this episode is a mighty marvel frankenstien's monster.
Tumblr media
NO not him. He wasn't around yet. NO this episode is clumisly stitched together from two diffrent ff issues. Fantastic Four #6 and Fantastic Four Annual #4
The first makes sense as it features Namor teaming up with one of marvel's best villians who they apparently could use in both shows: Doctor Doom. They simply had to replace who his nemesis were. And that of course is where our futuraly uncanny x-men come in, simply slapped into the baxter building and given the ff's reputation and relationship fighting doom. Oddly they woudln't actually fight doom during the 60's like everyone else. Eventually though he did leading to this awesome cover
Tumblr media
Granted FF writer at the time John Byrne didn't like the story because Doom was tricked by X-Men enemy and my boy arcade and tried to retcon it but that's a story for another day.
Point is the X-Men hadn't fought doom.. but given they were more generic superheroes at the time having them step into the ff's roll actually makes a lot of sense. And they even had some panels they could use from the x-mens series of them battling namor.
Tumblr media
Yeah for some weird reason they decided instead to mash this story.. with FF Annual #4, the wedding of Sue Storm and Reed Richards. An issue that I haven't read but i'm bound to cover eventually for my annual February superhero wedding special
It is famous enough for me to have the gist though: Sue and Reed get married but this being a superhero comic, some action gets thrown in. In this case Dr. Doom decides to gift them EVERY SINGLE AVALIABLE SUPERVILLIAN in the marvel universe. That's not hyperbole. Pretty much every villian who could from street level guys to the big bads like Kang showed up to try and beat the shit out of the ff.. but this being the wedding of two public super heroes, every super hero in the marvel universe short of spidey (who didn't seem to show up, loner that he was). IT comes off at least from a distance as a big old celebration not just of the happy couple but of how much the marvel universe had grown.
As a result though the first half of this episode is just a lot of fighting and feels really disjointed esepcially once the ff #6 adaptation kicks in as there's never really any resolution to the "all the supervillians are given a subconcious signal to fuck with my arch enemy's wedding day. " part of the plot. Or here it's because the X-Men are getting a major award. Which is nice given how their usually treated.. but for some reason here their called "the alliance for peace".
Tumblr media
Look if you had to rename the x-men, and why on earth would you even back then at their weakest, why not the peace patrol, the peace posse, Cyclops and those other 4, the Beast Brigade, the Merry Mutant Marching Society, Not-The Fantastic Four, The Fantastic Five, The Sesnational Six, Uncle Charlie's Funtime House Band, Scotty Dosen't Know, The Teen Angels, The Alps, The Marvels, The Recess Monkeys, Code Yellow, The Mutants, XX-Men, The New Justice Team, Fruit Punch, We Hate you Please Die, Hated and Feared, Diaper Time, Stars and Garters, or Suck it Erik? Did they only have 5 minutes? I did and I came up with all of that, so how.
At any rate the first few minutes is just a lot of fighting. Again they HAVE an issue with namor. I get not wanting ot use all of it: Wanda and Pietro were still in the brotherhood of evil mutants at the time and it was back when Magneto was less "one of the most complex, compelling and awesome characters ever" and more "Dollar Tree Doctor Doom". But you HAVE PANELS OF THESE CHARACTERS FIGHTING NAMOR
Tumblr media
There's also some with beast. So there was more than enough to do that and still use bits from ff #4. Just have doom narrate he's having mole man attack them. Instead once the fighting stops most of the x-men vanish, widdling down to just xavier who, thanks to using the wedding panels, is in his best baby blue prom tuxedo.
Oh and instead of just angel and professor.. we also get the greatest of all x-men, king of kings. Hawkeye. Yes for no reason other than they could crop other characters out easier probably, Hawkeye shows up a lot in the second act and is implictly a member of the defenders of peace. So in this reality, playing Mephisto's Advocate, either Hawkeye's a mutant with super sharp aiming ablities, or Hawkeye came to the X-Men to tie one of them up to prove he could join them instead of the avengers and Xavier was like "Fuck it come on in bud."
The rest of the ep is.. fine. Namor is asked to team with dr doom, then is betrayed by doom. We do get some awesome over the top stuff as Dr. Doom needs to use the grabber to pull the x-baxter building into space. So namor SWATS MEOTRS AWAY then chases Dr. Doom and ethan hawke into space and somehow survivies. IT's the cheesy kind of fun I want
So yeah.. for a first x-men in animatoin apperance this is pretty bad. Their barely featured as a team, Jean hardly gets to do anything, and it's two stories that just don't work together welded together. We have to assume at the end new york just.. burnt to the ground because Dr. Doom left all the other super villians int he world on. Or like the actual story the watcher just said "Fuck this' and ended it. Either way it's a pretty bleh episode and even the weird as hell way the x-men are used dosen't give it much of a recomednation.
Thankfully next up in x-men month we have something a bit more fitting as it's time for one of the greatest x-men stories of all: God Loves, Man Kills. Thanks for reading.

Gonna talk about this guy for a second because I genuinely feel like no one is talking about this/ not enough coverage about the Deku headcannons made in the bnha/mha fandom.
I'm gonna spit it out now, I think Bakudeku is the most overrated ship I have ever seen, in any fandom, period. I also think that Deku is one of the most shit on characters by a fandom that doesn't really deserve to get shit on. There is so much I can say about this, but for the purposes of you, the reader, I'll try and keep this as short as I can.
ALSO GONNA SAY THIS NOW, MY OPINION IS NOT GOSPEL. SHIP BAKUDEKU IF YOU WANT, MAKE DEKU SAD EMO BOY IF YOU WISH, THATS YOUR CHOICE. IM JUST NOT GONNA WATCH YOUR CONTENT AND IM SIMPLY SAYING THE REASONS WHY.
OFFICIAL CONTENT WARNING FROM HERE : I will be talking about alot of sensitive topics in this post but the main ones I will be covering are Underage Sex, SH, depression etc. Also there will be slight spoilers for the show ( I haven't watched it so don't expect anything massive )
Tumblr media
So let's talk about Boku no Hero Academia/ My Hero Academia. Alot of you know about this show already, but for those who don't :
Boku No Hero Academia/ My Hero Academia is an Manga Series turned anime, originally illustrated and written by Kōhei Horikoshi. In the series, we follow a Teenager called Izuku Midoriya (Deku for short) , who is a "quirkless" boy lives in a world of "quirks" (superpowers). He still dreams of being a superhero, and he gets scouted by his hero, "All might", who bestows his powers onto him after seeing his potential, and also helps to get him into a prestigious high school for superheroes in training.
Now in this anime, there is another boy called Katsuki Bakugo, who has bullied Deku ever since he was a child. When they were in middle school, the bullying did not stop, and now in high school they continued to be rivals/ Deku being bullied by Bakugo.
Now there is absolutely nothing wrong with headcannons/au's, in fact, I think headcannons/au's are one of the building blocks of fandom. But there is a certain point in which these Au's can cross a line, and unfortunately in the Bnha/Mha fandom, that line is crossed a fair bit.
Let's start with bakudeku, the thing that sparked this whole post in the first place. At the start of this post I said it was overrated, and I stand by that. The amount of hype I see of these two getting in a relationship fills me with absolute agony. THESE TWO AREN'T COMPATIBLE IN THE SLIGHTEST. Yes, Katsuki may have character development that I have not seen, since I do not watch this show ( the reasons why can get a post on its own ), but from the clips I've seen of Katsuki, he just seems like a huge jackass towards EVERYONE. The only people he does respect are adults who can beat the shit out of him, and that's really sad. Now let's get to Izuku. I'm not very sure but personally I don't think he will be shipped with anyone, at least not for the time being. Izuku seems focused on becoming a hero at the moment in the series, so I'd highly doubt that he will be getting into a relationship.
Now lets get into another reason for why Izuku is shit upon. The amount of Batsuit insane stuff that the Bnha/Mha fandom has produced. This segment doesn't just run for deku either, this can be for arguably every character in the show (besides grape guy everyone agrees he is a dick) Fanfiction is in my opinion, the core part of a thriving fandom, alongside Fanart and Headcannons, but the amount of fanfiction that has Izuku as a cat maid for todoroki or some shit along the lines of that IS INSANE. A bunch of these characters aren't aged up either, which makes it even more fucking gross. Like youre writing 2 teenagers fucking each other in their rooms which they still have like stuff up from when they were 10 or some shit. I do know about Japan's fucked up sex culture quite a bit, and how the age of consent is lowered there, but this is still a huge problem regardless.
Let's stop with the CP, and now go onto depressed Deku. I also see in the Bnha/Mha fandom, that there is a lot of content about Deku being depressed or like not mentally ok. In alot of these headcannons, there's usually an event where a character will find Deku's arms with giant slits on them, or they will find blood on Deku's clothes, and Deku will try and deny that he is depressed, or go into a massive breakdown. These headcannons usually involve Deku going to a mental institution to seek help, and along the way fall in love with a character ( I lied there's more ship content ) . My personal opinion, these are disgusting headcannons. Yet again, this guy is still in his teens, and you're putting him into crazy scenarios not many teens have.
The last point I have to make is the plague that this character made upon fandom. From Gacha, to Ao3 to Tumblr, the shittyfied Deku has taken over fandom spaces like these. The amount of gacha content surrounding Deku (usually in a relationship with a character) is fucking insane. For every 20 videos you can find on YouTube of Bnha/Mha, at least 15 will be bakudeku. There's not much normal content anymore on the fandom, because the shitty deku has taken over, and I find that really sad.
It's a genuine shame that Deku has been tested like this, because he seems like suck a great character for this anime, but the fandom has just betrayed him. It's saddening seeing the showrunners get harassed for not shipping Deku with anyone, rather then actually critiquing things wrong with the show ( like directing, writing, comedy etc ). Idk man, this whole thing just makes me really sad.
if you do need some guidance for your mental health, you're under 18, and you live in Ireland or the UK, then call ChildLine, they are a brilliant organisation who listens and lets you vent and lets you be heard. To find out more go to www.childline.co.uk for more info.
Please for the love of God reblog this I spent over an hour on it and it's 20 past 1 in the morning kill me 🤠

So Alot has happened in your life in a short amount of time. First you were so sure that you were going to get murdered and die alone but no, you met a bunch of Hot, Clingy, Unusual boys.

Any who you were sitting with the guys Elson leaned on your shoulder, Rasputin was laying on your lap, and Adrian had his face Smushed into your thigh. Finally Jasmir was standing infront of you and he was Fuming infront of all of you.

You of course was still awake sharpening your knives in your room. You smiled to yourself the boys are adorable, foolish but adorable. You thought you were going to have to find them, but no
they were coming to you just like you wanted
Jasmir loved you sense day 1
Elson really thinks he's your baby
Adrian the little brat loves you too
And Rasputin wasn't hard to deal with at all you played into his fantasy marriage just so you can keep him Exactly where you want him.
All these boys are yours and your never gonna let them go.
As You went to sleep you soon found yourself in a grass Field at night
Tumblr media
You were not afraid as this Place was familiar to you. You continued to walk in the fields as you were looking for something or looking for someone, You continued to do so until you heard a deep voice sing
(???) I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream🎶🎶🎵 i know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam🎵🎶🎵🎶
Ah there he is, you quickly moved to the direction of the voice. You see a some nights ago you been have secret rendezvous with a tall blonde black armored man. You still have yet to learn his name but he is a gentleman, he always spoke in a soft deep smooth voice. It always comforted you and you two begin to fall for each other.
(Y/N) Hello.....Again.......My.....dragon..............knight
(???) (Smoothly) My darling princess how I miss you so
(Y/N) i.....missed...you.....as.....well.....how's....my ....big.....soft....dream.....man?
(???) I am well but I'm on a Search right now
(Y/N) what.....were.......you.......looking........for?
The taller man smiled down at you taking in your warm hugs and kisses
(???) My beautiful queen I am looking......for.........You
You two then kissed and that kiss turned into a make out kiss, before putting his hand on your large hips.
(Y/N) Do........you.......remember........how.....we ........met
(???) I kinda do
You see it started when Elson moved in, you were caring for him when he was horribly injured. You took a nap one day and for some reason it was night In your dream and you heard
A/N (watch the first part try to tune out the birds)
youtube
Now this was a deep voice that echoed threw your head. You were wondering if this sound was heard from the outside but it was closer then you thought. You continued to walk and as you got closer you saw a figure in the distance. He was tall, taller then you, he had a pitch black suit and a long dark cape and finally long blonde hair. He look big and Intimidating but for some reason it did not Deter you from approaching him. After all it was a dream a pretty long dream but a dream, anyway you slowly approached this man and suddenly the background turned green and when he turned around, he saw the most beautiful doll-like woman he's ever seen and you on the matter saw another Hot stray man just waiting to be snatched up. You two walk close to each other and he touch your sides while you touch his chest you as you Quietly observed each other before cuddling close to one another.
Which was the beginning to a beautiful dark breaking and entering/Romance.
Back in the present
(???) you were such an unusual creature.
(Y/N) As...were.....you.....my......king
(Both) I never seen anything like you, My beautiful disaster ❤️❤️❤️
Then everything began to disappear around you two, and you quickly Clinged on to him.
(Y/N) I don't want to wake up, I want you to be with me forever
(???) Do not fret my dear, I swear that when you wake right up that I will be right here for you, and I promise that we won't ever let each other GO.
(Y/N) ( Wearily) ok i trust you my love 💓
You two kissed one last time before you woke up. You slowly open your eyes, blinking slowly as the sun shined on them. You flinched a bit until you felt something around your waist you slowly looks down at the arm. It was to light to be Jasmir, not pale enough to be Elson, it was definitely not Adrian for obvious reasons and finally it's not Rasputin either. this arm has Muscles and he had noodle arms not to say that their was anything wrong with that😶
Ok you may not know this person but you know how to shank someone before grabbing the knife you sharpen under pillow before going in for the kill but the other person grabbed your arm.
(???) Quiet Impressionable Good morning dear
Then it hit you it was your dream man. He was real after all I'm mean you knew you were crazy but not that type of Crazy.
(???) Ah you remember now I told you I will be right here when you wake up
you dropped the knife🔪 and pounce on him as he laughed lightly as you smothers him in kisses. You secretly look at the bedroom walk to see a picture of you asleep in the same grass fields with a bloody knife in your palms.
You knew what this meant as you cuddled with your dream man for the rest of the morning 🌄
(Y/N) who are you anyway
(Auren) I'm Auren and your dream come true ❤️
Done Done Done!!!! Talk about it came to me in a dream. Anyways leave comments below!

About 4 or 5 years ago I came across a short series called Shamanic Princess and was really enchanted by it. I wanted to to do at least a small write up on it because while it is only about 6 episodes the story is fairly concise. They pack a lot of atmosphere and interesting design/worldbuilding in just a few episodes and it's just really nice. It's not a perfect series by any means but if you're looking for something with interesting character work to check out, this is one I'd recommend and say has the biggest draw because of how the characters bounce off each other. Right now it's available on Crunchyroll but if you're resourceful I'm sure you can find somewhere else if you need to!
Tumblr media
The anime today is Shamanic Princess, a short OVA series by Triangle Staff. There was a short time where Crunchyroll had gotten a bunch of older anime and so I decided I’d check some of them out. This was one I appealed to me because of how few episodes it happened to have, I assumed it may have been something similar to Blue Submarine, where it was a series cancelled before it was done or rushed but the story seems to have a complete round out. As most OVAs go, the experimentation of animation, unique storyline, and overall production makes for a really compelling short series overall. It takes it’s own fun spin on the magical girl genre too taking the “magic” part to be almost tangible rituals.
From a very ominous start we’re introduced to the world of magic that shamanic princess is takes place in with almost persona like shadows lurking about. Tiara, our protagonist, seems to be on alert yet also a bit bratty in some ways too, almost princess like, especially so for a college student. Following what turns out to be a bad scouting mission, Tiara returns home to her “castle” to sleep. The big draw from here on is the missing parts of the story, Tiara is on a mission to “capture” Sarah, whom she almost somberly confronts in her dreams. The next morning she is transferring into a new college, meets an old rival, Lena, to whom we find is also well aware of what Tiara’s mission seems to revolve around. The most OVA like part of this episode comes in this following night. The characters have what seems like a playful rivalry and it only comes to confirm that the characters are not just rivals in this mission but enemies. They fight harshly with spirit creatures they summon and begin to ramp up the fight only for Tiara to be interrupted by Kagetsu, the man who has stolen the Throne of Yord and is using it on Sarah. He doesn’t enter the conversation, or conflict, beyond impeding Tiara. It’s after when Tiara retreats and Lena approaches Kagetsu that their alliance is confirmed and that Lena lays forth that she’ll kill Tiara if she needs to. The episode concludes with a follow up fight where Tiara finally goes to her full power.
A lot of the formula between this episode and the next is this power play. Tiara and Lena going back and forth between their fight and feelings for Kagetsu’s situation. Tiara is the obviously more powerful to Lena and yet Lena is the one standing by Kagetsu. In time we also learn that Kagetsu and Lena were is love, that something separated them and now Kagetsu has taken something from their magical society that is powerful enough to put all three in this conflict. Fairly obviously I suppose, this leads to a love Triangle of sorts, not just where the girls find conflict in love for Kagetsu but where they find the idea of love in eachother similarly. In a lot of ways this is also what kept me around in the story where I could understand each characters desire for connection and love in the way they’ve seen it through each other.
I really love the overall atmosphere through the story though. Theres this feeling of almost cyclical longing throughout the the atmosphere of the story, whether it’s romantic, nostalgic or just to connect with someone in general. Everyone feels lost in there sense of what they want and unsure, yet they know there is something they feel a longing for. In the classes there are two particular moments where this longing is somewhat reflected between Lena and Tiara. When Tiara watches Lena in class, it’s while they have a lecture on the beauty in conceptual ideas like functionalism and rationalism, Tiara even later reflecting she envied Lena, likely for that sense of maturity she emanates and natural sense for logic. Likewise when Lena looks to Tiara they have a lecture on the greek story of Daphne, the nymph turned to a tree. In it Apollo is plauged by cupid’s curse to pursue Daphne who is uniterested in him. In a final act she calls to her father a river god and asks for his help. In hopes that it will save her from Apollo’s pursuit, her father turns her to a tree. Although Lena’s power better fits the story of the girl turned to a tree, I think that Lena’s view on Kagetsu is what’s really in reference here. Lena feels this ever present longing of affection and desire and sees that in Kagestu. Yet it seems that Kagestu only has affection for Tiara and so Lena is left alone with that desire. Even when Lena’s thinking of Kagestu though, there is this feeling of Tiara being the focus of it. She knows the place of Tiara’s affection among the sibilings and recognizes that Tiara did her best to accept Lena into that space. As a result I feel both’s feelings end up being more about eachother than their situation, where they envy the other’s ability to react a certain way to their predicament and as a result pursue that for themselves in the series. They strive to better themselves by becoming eachother in some ways, they see what the other does wrong and yet also see everything that is wonderful about them.
The story definitely tries to rush it’s climax. Just as the story pushes it’s emotional confrontation it spends too much time overexplaining why it is emotional. It tries to play with it as being a taunt from the Throne but it takes so much time and limits so much of the action that it ends up falling flat. It should also be noted a lot of the reviews and notes on this series you’ll see likely say things along the lines of “watch episode 5 and 6 first then 1-4” but I’d say that isn’t necessary. In some ways it spoils the mystique and focus on the emotional story telling of episodes 1-4. You don’t truly have to understand the backstory to understand the emotional stakes of a story. Those episodes are still worth the watch, just don’t feel too pressured to do it in the “5-6, 1-4” order because people say it should have been done that way. You honestly could watch just the first 4 episodes and feel like you have a classic OVA experience of a short contained story by the same logic of watching them out of order. But I’d still recommend it if you like “dark magical girl” as an aesthetic, it’s not too dark but still carries a good maturity in it’s story telling with interesting magical elements. If you have the time and just want to try an older anime, I’d say this is an interesting one to check out.
