— Both of them watching you die, and either cannot accept the fact that they can’t help or stop it from happening.

— Logan’s and Wade’s relationship weakens a whole lot after your death. They’ll be arguing even more and blaming one another for your death.

— Logan accidentally not retracting his claws and them stabbing through your stomach slowly, and very painfully killing you.

— Both men blaming themselves for your death.

— When all three of you break up it really damaged all three of you. Logan and Wade will be doing his best to move on.

— Your death really reminds the two of them that nothing last forever.

Gassy Roommate Paiten (Edited & Extended)

Warnings/Tags: Gay Face Farting, Underwear Stealing, Somewhat Willing Victim, Straight x Gay, Bullying, F slur used quite a bit, Face Farting, Eproctophilia

You remember the first time you met Paiten. He was a cool guy, a little bit of a gym rat, but overall, pretty chill guy to hang with. You guys would hang out a lot and eventually he moved in when Dustin moved out. 

No one really knew, but you were totally into Paiten. You were into his huge arms, his awesome abs, and his ass was awesome. The way they hugged his jeans made you drool. Like literal drool. The worst part about Paiten was that he was the gassiest person you knew. A walking fart bomb is what some of your friends called him. 

You and him would be watching the football game and he’d rip ass and say nothing. Every time, a weird sick part of you would get turned on. You could feel your heartbeat start to speed up and your pants would get just a little bit tighter. 

The best worst days were when you were sleeping and you’d wake up to Paiten’s ass in your face. He’d rip a nasty wet fart and you’d startle awake with the smell of his rancid ass. He’d laugh and rush out your room as you pretend to be disgusted by him. But as soon as he was gone, you’d start stroking your dick fantasizing about him smothering your face in his giant globes.

When it was really bad, you’d sneak into his bedroom and steal his underwear from the dirty hamper in the corner of his room. You’d always try to grab a pair and then replace it with one that you have stolen before. This time you managed to steal his red Under Armor boxers and replace them with a blue Fruit of the Loom pair. 

You sneak out of his room heading back to your room when you bump into Paiten. You stumble backwards and you look up at Paiten. ���What were you doing in my room?” He asks you confused before looking at your hand and then back up to you.

“Uh, I thought I, uh, left something in there?” You stumble on your words as you try to hide the undies behind your back.

“Uh huh.” His eyes narrow on you. “So, why are you taking my boxers?”

“Um.” You drop the boxers and charge to your bedroom, Paiten grabs his boxers off the ground and follows you. You go to slam the door but Paiten gets his foot in and keeps the door open.

“Look I just want to talk, I’m not gonna hurt you.” Paiten says but you keep trying to push the door closed.

“No thank you.” You say straining on the door.

“Dude.” He easily just pushes the door open and you flop on the ground. “You a fag or something?” He holds his boxers as he stares down at you.

“The fuck man, I ain’t a fag.” 

“You were stealing my dirty boxers.” Paiten sits down on your chest so you can’t get up. He begins to rub the crotch of the boxers on your face. “That turning you on?” You shake your head no but you can feel your sweats start to tent. “You want my dick?”

“No, dude, get off me.” You raise your hands to push him but he grabs them and holds them so you can’t move. 

Pffft

A quick fart comes out of Paiten’s ass and you can feel the color on your face drain. “Wait, are you a fart fag?” 

“Dude, no, stop.” Paiten gets up but he puts a foot on your chest. You take it as not to get up. You watch as he slowly unbuckles his belt and strips off his jeans. He’s wearing a pair of charcoal boxer briefs that look old. You gulp as you stare at his bulge move as he kicks off his sweats. 

“So, you’re going to tell me you don’t want this?” Paiten turns and starts to wiggle his ass. “I mean come on buddy, everyone wants some of this.” 

“I don’t.” You shake your head no but he eyes your boner. He decides to sit down on your face without warning. He moves around till he gets your nose up his crack. It’s obvious he went to the gym today. 

“How ‘bout now.” You try your hardest to fight your hardon. “Come on take a whiff, you’ll like it.” You do your very best at not taking in a breath but you can’t help it. You inhale and without meaning to, a moan escapes your lips. “I knew it.” Paiten pushes his ass farther back so your head can’t lift off the ground and releases the nastiest fart you’ve ever heard. You take a loud inhale and moan from the scent. You can feel yourself humping the air. “You’re fucking getting off on this?”

PFFFFBRBRBRBR

“You’re telling me, that your faggot ass is getting off on me farting on your face.” You keep sniffing loudly without any reservation to what you’re doing. “Jesus christ you’re such a fucking faggot.” He begins to get up and out of pure instinct you grab his underwear and try to pull him back down. You’re unsuccessful and instead you rip his boxers. “Fucking faggot.” He ignores the fact that you ripped his boxers and just leaves the room.

Your boner is pressing hard against the fabric of your boxers as you keep sniffing the air trying to get what’s left of Paiten’s terrible gas.

After the hour long jack off session and sleeping for the night, you awake the next morning. You stare at the ceiling trying to decide if you should get up or hide in your room all day. You could live off the junk food and your laptop if you really need to. Instead you peek out your bedroom window to look at the driveway. 

Paiten’s car is still in the driveway, so it seems that he’s still in the house. You give a sigh before sitting yourself back on your bed. Then you see them, the red Under Armour boxers you tried stealing the day before. You stare for about 30 seconds before getting up and grabbing them.

You bring them to your nose and you take a loud inhale. You can smell the lingering sweat and Paiten’s natural musk. Again, you start to feel yourself chub up but then you realize what you’re doing and pull them away from your face. You will your boner away as you leave your bedroom. 

You make your way to Paiten’s room and knock on the door. You hear shuffling behind the door and the door swings wide open. Paiten is shirtless and is only wearing a camo pair of pajamas. Your eyes get lost at his chest and abs before he clears his throat.

“Need something?” He sounds smug. 

“Oh-uh, yeah, um.” You begin. “I’m just returning these.” You shove the red boxers into his hands. “Okay bye.” You say awkwardly as you turn. 

“Wait.” You stop but don’t make eye contact. “Does my ass look good in these PJs?” You turn and see him ass faced towards you. You can’t lie, his ass looks fantastic in those PJs and you’re about to voice that.

PFFFFFFFFFFBRBBRFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTT

He grunts as he lets out a loud seven second fart. “Fuuck me, that felt good.” He sighs in relief before wafting the air around his ass towards you. 

“You’re disgusting.” You say, even though you’re totally enjoying the view and smell. 

“That’s a compliment coming from you fart fag.” He laughs. He grabs your arm and pulls you into his bedroom. He loudly slams the door shut and flings you towards his bed. “Lay down, face up.” You blink twice before doing as he says. “Good fag.” He climbs above you and sits down on your chest. 

PFFFFBBRFFFFFF

The fart vibrates on your chest. “I figured there’s a reason for us finding each other.” He drags his ass up your chest and gets closer to your face. “I mean, I am the gas bomb.” 

PFFFFFFFFFFFFF

“And somehow, I get so lucky that my roomie is a fart fag.” 

PFFFFBBRRRRRFFFTTTTTTT

The smells are getting worse the closer he’s getting to your nose. “I mean, I have to take advantage of that right?” He gives you a show by flexing his butt cheeks. “And I have this fantastic ass that has fags drooling.”

PBBBRBRBRFFFFFTTTTTT

You feel a breeze against your face and you're properly bricked up now. He readjusts himself and plops his fat cheeks down on your face. “I think this can be a mutually beneficial friendship.”

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTT

The rotten smell invades your nostrils as you sniff the gas. You can’t help but push yourself as close as you can against his clothed pucker. 

PFFFFFFFFFFFFTTT PFFFFFFFFFFFF

The sigh of relief he lets out makes your dick strain against your own PJs. “It’s hilarious you’re getting off on this, but I can’t lie. Farting on your face makes my dick hard.” 

PFFFFFFFFFBBBRFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTT

“I’d never find a girl into this, but a dirty fag like you.” 

PFBBRFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTT

“Fuuck.” He grunts as more of his sewage smelling farts fill your lungs. “I figure I could use you as much as I’d like.” You can’t argue his logic, nor do you really want to because you’re getting exactly what you want. Being trapped under Paiten’s ass is a dream come true. 

PFFFFFBRBBRFFFFFFF PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTT PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFBBRRFFFFFTTTTTTT PFFFFFFFFFFTTTT

Your nose gets bombarded by fart after fart and you can feel precum leaking into your PJs. You’ve never been so hard before and his ass is totally destroying your face. You feel hot and sweaty and it smells so bad, but your dick keeps flexing.

“I’ll never understand how anyone likes this. It’s one thing to appreciate someone’s ass, but to actually sniff farts is disgusting.” His hole flexes a few times before letting out another ungodly fart on your nose. It’s silent but the solid torrent of air being blown up your nose lets you know that he’s still releasing the toxic air. 

You cough hard as you finish inhaling that constant torrent of gas. “I don’t understand it either.” You manage to say. He responds by lifting up and then slamming his ass back down on your face.

“Don’t speak. All I should hear is you sniffing faggot.” 

PFFFFFFBRBRFFFFFFFTTTTTTT

You do as he says and inhale the loud fart. It burns as it goes down and you feel lightheaded.

“This isn’t a friendship or a relationship. This is me using my ass to get off.” 

PFFFFFFFFTT PFFFFFFFFFFFBBFFFT PFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTT

Fart after fart keeps hitting your nose and things begin to start spinning. You feel like you're about to cum the hardest you’ve ever had in your life. 

PFFFFFFBRRFFFFFFFT

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTT

PFFFFFFBBRRFFFFFFTTTTTTTTT

“That’s it faggot. Get off on my godly gas bombs.” You realize that he’s stroking his cock above you. 

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTT

“Oh god, that feels so good.” He sighs to himself as you're forced to keep inhaling. You’re so close now, but you can’t tell if you’re about to cum yourself or pass out. 

PFFFFFFFFBBRFFFFFFFFTTTTT

PFFFFFFFBBFFFFFFFFFFFT

PFBBRFFFFFFFFFFFFT

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTT

You can’t help the cry that you let out as your cock starts shooting rope after rope of cum. It’s the most amazing orgasm and causes your whole body to start shaking.

“That’s fucking pathetic.” Paiten laughs above you. “My ass bombs just made you cum.” 

PFFFFFFBBRRRRRFFFFFTTTT

“Well let’s just see how long you can last with just my ass for air.”

PFFFFFFFBBRRFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTT

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTT

Bomb after bomb hits your face and you can feel Paiten is getting close to cumming as well based on how his body is shaking. 

PFFFFFFBBFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTT PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTT

“God, I’m so fucking close.” He’s panting above you. “Feels so good destroying your face.”

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFBBBFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTT

He lets out a rocking 15 second fart and you hear him moaning above you as he starts to cum.  The smell is starting to become unbearable now and you’re having issues thinking straight.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTT

PFFFFFFFFFFBBRRFFFFFFFFFFFTTT

“There’s no way you’re still awake after that.” Paiten jokes as the loud toxic fumes keep hitting your face. All you can smell is eggs and rotten sewage. Everything is spinning around you now. 

“Enough.” You cough out. You only get a laugh in response.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTT

PBBRBRBRBBRBRBRBRBRRRRRRRR

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT

You feel heavy and you almost feel like you're floating out of your body. You try to push him off you, but you’re too weak at this point. You begin to panic as you realize you can’t escape.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTT

A loud 30 second fart hits you this time and takes you out. You hear laughing as you feel your body go limp. 

When you awake again, you’re laying on the floor of the hallway. You have a massive headache and all you can smell is ass. Namely Paiten’s ass. You use the wall to get up and notice how sticky your PJs feel around your dick. You struggle to get to the bathroom but you make it and get in the shower.

You can’t stop yourself from blowing another load down the shower drain thinking about Paiten’s ass destroying your lungs again. 

~~FIN

[myeyebagsaredesigner]

Imma open my mind abt Tim Jason and Duke to you every day now I fucking love them.

Jason, Duke and Tim are almost 24/7 hours on Face Time, talking? No, just being, they're in the same room but still face timing cuz Duke likes to post those "24 hours again with twins 🔥" or smth like that, and sometimes they even talk to eachother through their sleeps

Tim and Duke having a whole ass conversation while sleeping on facetime and Jason is just there laughing when he gets home from patrol at night

Tim and Duke team up to mess with Jason even if they know he'd answer it while awake cuz its just fun.

Jason and Tim are out patrolling together while telling Duke whats happening even thought he's asleep

Even when they are with their respective partners they are on a call [Thought no voice nor camera open] and they just sometimes chime in to say smth abt the convo and leaves again

Tim and Duke also love to use Jason as a pillow

Ah yes, the classic "on call but could easily not be", the times of true friendship. They definitely do that. I don't see how they WOULDN'T!

I feel like it would be a very comforting presence for them, y'know? Like, no one has to be on the call and no one usually has anything that's necessary to talk about, yet they stay on the call because they want to.

The first time Tim stays on call with them overnight, he's very pleasantly surprised. Like, the call has been pretty silent for the past 15 minutes, aside from the background noise coming from Jason's patrol and the light snores from Duke's end. Jason finally goes home and Tim thinks he's probably going to hang up, but Jason just takes his phone with him into the bathroom and turns off his camera.

Something along these lines, I think

Tim: *Internally debating whether he should hang up or not*

Jason, getting home: "Gotta shower.. sleep."

Tim: "Yeah, I should probably, like, do my skincare."

Jason: "'Kay." *Takes phone into bathroom and shuts off camera*

Tim: ..interesting

Jason eventually gets out of the shower and turns his camera back on, just to throw himself into bed and knock out. Tim is left with a weird feeling of 'this kind of makes me happy and wanted in an interesting way, didn't know I could feel that' and goes to bed.

Jason would definitely sleep in, and Tim and Duke would do that think of 'hey Jason, stay sleeping if..' knowing fully well he's still asleep. "Jason, stay sleeping if you think I'm awesome." "Jason, don't say anything if I'm your favorite." "Jason, stay quiet if I can have the last yogurt." Jason does not like this. He will wake up to a half empty closet and a raided fridge, and they'll show him videos they took of him sleeping through their questions as "evidence."

I think it'd be funny if when Jason and Tim are patrolling, they talk to Duke without even realize it. Like they start narrating things they're doing and talking their thoughts through, not because they think they need to tell Duke, but because they subconsciously want him to know and just have a weird urge to narrate themselves. They understand each other, so it's not weird. The other bats are very confused. They make Jason do a blood test one day to test for possible poisons because on patrol he said "I am now loading my gun" while doing just that. They think he has some sort of truth serum. He does not.

They're all so used to being on call with each other, so they never get startled or caught off guard when someone speaks over the phone. It's normal for them, but not for the people around them.

Like, Tim will be silently working on the Batcomputer with Bruce looking at some files or something. Jason randomly sneezes and Bruce almost goes flying out of his chair. He hears Duke mock him with an "achOo" and turns to Tim, who's eyes haven't left the screen. He didn't even know them three were that close. Didn't even know they spoke to each other often. He peers at the screen and sees Duke walking down the isle of a grocery store and Jason's camera off, but he gapes at the call time of 17 hours. He can't imagine why they would be on call for that long if they aren't even talking.

Jason will be with Roy, who's absolutely done with this. He always forgets Jason is on call until Duke or Tim mumble something random and he always gets scared. Jason will say something, and he'll go to answer, only to realize he was talking to the phone.

Duke is sitting on the bus, and the people around him silently peer over to look at his phone. There's two other people on the call, one of them who looks like he'll pass out any minute, and the other who's only showing half his face while he scrolls on his phone. The bus people think they're trying to break a world record. They're sure they have already won.

Since they're on call literally all day, I'm sure their phones are always charging. Like, if they're lounging around the apartment or something it's plugged in to the wall. They carry around packs of portable chargers with them wherever they go. It's a bit.. much.

AND YES!! PILLOW JASON!!

Yes to all physical affection in general, but not the "normal type?" They don't go up to each other and exchange hugs or anything, but they're like always in contact whenever they're physically around each other. Jason will drape himself over them if they're sitting in a chair. They like it, it feels like a weighted blanket. Duke will always be leaning against someone. Sitting back to back, a hand on the shoulder, leaning against their legs when he sits on the floor in front of the couch. Tim will just start poking them. Duke is sitting next to him trying to eat breakfast and he's being rapidly poked in the cheek. Jason's ears are always red because Tim likes to pull at them when he's bored. He'll knock his forehead against their shoulders.

They always find a way to fit on the same couch. Accidental kicks to the face, awkwardly places limbs, an elbow in the side. They are not deterred. It's comfortable in it's own way. They'll all lay on the floor sometimes. Dick walks into the Batcave one day and sees them laying on the mats. Jason is on his stomach, Tim's head is on the back of his shoulder with his arm draped across his back. Duke is laying on Jason's thigh and is hugging one of Tim's stray legs. They're passed out. Dead asleep. Dick doesn't know the last time he saw Tim sleep. He lets it be after a quick picture.

I love them <3

Gawain

Books

Mordred: A Tragedy by Henry Newbolt

Gawaine supports Mordred’s claim to the throne & stands behind his attempt to ascend.

The Story of King Arthur and His Knights by Howard Pyle

The Story of the Champions of the Round Table by Howard Pyle

The Story of Sir Launcelot and his Companions by Howard Pyle

The Story of the Grail and the Passing of Arthur by Howard Pyle

Gawaine is one of the main characters in all four books. He cucks Pelleas with Ettard, charms his wife the Loathly Lady with his fat wallet & ass, goes adventuring with the other knights, & is at one point cursed to be a dwarf. His grief over the loss of his brothers & sons is especially poignant here I love it so much. Many iconic illustrations of him as well.

The Queen's Knight by Marvin Borowsky

Gawaine is described as “landless, not overly endowed with wits, but honest and proud.” He’s headstrong & determined. He’s often mentioned alongside his buddies Kay, Launcelot, or with Agravaine. Content warning for pederasty.

The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights by John Steinbeck

Gawain follows his beloved cousin Ewain into exile. He attempts to use his sun powers to cheat but fails & gets beat up. Then Gawain, Ewain, & Marhalt encounter a maiden, mother, & crone. Gawain takes the maiden for himself & she very quickly ditches him bc he sucks. From here he runs into Pelleas & from there woos Ettarde. Gawain isn't a good person but he's funny & compelling.

The Legend of King Arthur novelization by Andrew Davies

Amazing just like the show. Gawain doesn’t do much until the second half of the book where his involvement with Eleanor of Escalot starts. Extra introspection is always delicious. Full of awesome illustrations.

Guinevere by Sharan Newman

The Chessboard Queen by Sharan Newman

Guinevere Evermore by Sharan Newman

Gawain of all time I fear. His sun powers have been reversed so it's physically impossible for him to remain awake during the night. His brothers exploit this for pranks, but also strive to help him by strapping him to his horse before dawn so he can ride out with the army. He is childhood besties with Guinevere. Risa, Guinevere's handmaid, says Gawain is the best lover she's ever had. IKTR!! Gawain is the second born son of Morgan here, a bastard, as his elder brother Agravaine is the only wedlock son of Lot. They are Cornish instead of Orcadian, living in Morgan's childhood castle. He's very sweet & fun.

Exiled From Camelot by Cherith Baldry

Gawain is Kay's husband. There's no other way to say it. Gawain & Gareth are eternally loyal to Kay & Arthur both, but do their best to aid Kay as he struggles through the conflict of distrust, & eventual murder, of Arthur's son Loholt. Baldry's writing is always a treat.

In Camelot's Shadow by Sarah Zettel

The first of a series which begins with a romance between Gawain/Ragnelle combined with the story of the Green Knight. He kisses her when she has tusks what more can I say? There's an interesting family dynamic happening as well when she makes an allusion to becoming the sister of Gawain's brothers & Agravain gets upset by it, unbeknownst to her their father Lot threw their sister off a cliff (like the historical Teneu) so sisters are a sensitive subject. I think the family bonds are strongly present here which I always love in Gawain stories.

Lancelot by Gwen Rowley

Gawain by Gwen Rowley

Gawain is so insanely perfect here. His love for Aislyn (Ragnelle) is so intense & his sense of honor is persistent. His relationship with his mother is compelling, his love for his brothers tender & complicated. He has an interesting rivalry with Lancelot & he’s besties with Dinadan? Good food.

Movies

Knights of the Round Table (1953)

Gawaine is a part of Lancelot’s retinue, along with his brother Gareth the bard. They continuously have silly banter & hijinx. Gawaine stays home with Elaine when Lancelot & Gareth go to war, helping her when her fainting sickness worsens. After Galahad is born, he joins his brother in delivering him to Arthur & Guinevere before he moves on to grandpa Ban.

Prince Valiant (1954)

Gawain is funny here. Valiant knocks him out, mistaking him for the Black Knight, so Gawain adopts him, brings him home to Arthur & takes Valiant’s training to heart. He calls him Val it’s so cute. Later he accidentally falls in love with Valiant’s girlfriend, Aleta, while Aleta’s sister, Ilene, is in love with Gawain. Goofy.

Sword of Lancelot (1963)

Gawain is introduced early in the film. He runs into the hall afraid that he saw Lancelot covered in stuff he thought he was sick but turns out it was bubbles from soap Merlin had given him. (So he was watching Lancelot bathe? Do with that what you will.) Gawain & Lancelot are besties right until Lancelot accidentally kills Gareth while fleeing the castle. He & Gawain have a heartbreaking conflict & most of the battle is cut but Gawain sliced Lancelot’s face, gets bled all over, & then Lancelot has that scar forever. I’m normal about it.

Perceval (1978)

A French adaptation of The Story of the Grail by Chrétien de Troyes set on a stage. Gauvain is so funny & sweet here. After Sagramor & Kay get beat up by Perceval, Gauvain retrieves him for Arthur/Guinevere through friendship & leads him to the king & queen by the hand. Later he chats up the Lady of Lys & when caught with her, uses the chessboard as a shield. It’s epic.

Morte d'Arthur (1984)

In this reading & reenactment of Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, Gawain fulfills his exact role as his medlit counterpart, vouching for Lancelot after he's caught in the bedchamber of the queen, & going mad following the deaths of his brothers. He reappears in a dream to Arthur surrounded by beautiful maidens. Classic.

Merlin and The Sword (1985)

Gawain is the fun-loving elder brother of Agravaine & Mordred. He's best friends with Lancelot & cordial with everyone at court from Guinevere to Kai to Ninian to Pellinore. Following Guinevere's kidnapping by a Pictish prince, Gawain & Lancelot enter the Hidden World to save her & part ways onto their own paths. After taking a boat to a mysterious island, Gawain is briefly held prisoner, before a pig-faced girl named Ragnelle agrees to aid his escape in exchange for her freedom, which he agrees to. Despite the concerns of his uncle Arthur & mockery of his brothers, Gawain asks for Ragnelle's hand in marriage.

Gawain and the Green Knight (1991)

The most faithful adaptation in English. It tells the story with a unique format of Gawain already set out in his journey to meet the Green Knight recounting the story in chunks while resting at inns. The costuming & sets are bright & colorful, Bertilak is jolly & full of life, Green Knight is camp but also has a fun detail that his voice is raspy after getting beheaded. They kept the script alliterative like the poem which was cool.

King Arthur (2004)

Gawain played by Joel Edgerton is so sexy here. The movie isn’t good but it’s fun. Did I mention Gawain was hot?

Sire Gauvain et le Chevalier Vert (2014)

Leave it to the French to make a super horny version of SGATGK. Beautiful short film with little guy Gawain making out with Lady Bertilak/Sir Bertilak. His pentacle heraldry is front & center here. Loved the Green Knight’s deep gravelly voice. Kinda sexy.

TV Shows

The Adventures of Sir Lancelot (1956-1957)

Gawain is introduced while mourning the death of his brother whom was killed in the battle that ended just before the start of the show. He has a fragment of a sword that was left in the wound, which he discovers, with Guinevere’s help, matches a chunk broken off Lancelot’s sword. Gawain challenges him to a duel to the death, but Lancelot spares him, & they reconcile. Later, Gawain is a friend to Lancelot, even lending him his sword.

BBC The Legend of King Arthur (1979)

Gawain is the eldest Orkney brother, son of Morgause/Lot, nephew of Arthur. He rules. He’s first introduced backing Gareth up when he wants to joust Bors for fun but Bors is like, “Begone fetus.” Gawain also vehemently discouraged Agravain from confronting Arthur about Lancelot & then let his lil bro fumble & refused to talk to Arthur just dipped out with Gareth. So funny. Big bro behavior. He also recognizes incognito Lancelot by the way he fights, goes on grail quest, & fails miserably. His fight with Lancelot over the death of Gareth is the most heartbreaking it’s ever been in my opinion. They fight until Gawain is falling over from exhaustion & just groaning about his revenge. Mordred’s betrayal is the final nail in the coffin & Gawain dies of heartbreak.

Merlin (1998)

Gawain is introduced alongside his father Lot when everyone comes to meet the “boy king” who just pulled the sword from the stone. Gawain supports Arthur, Lot doesn’t. Gawain joins Arthur in what is developing into a war against the rebelling kings, including Lot. Arthur ends up riding up alone & challenging Lot to a one on one, & gives him Excalibur to hold, which convinces Lot that Arthur is legit, so Gawain rides across the field to embrace his father (cries). Gawain loses in a joust to Lancelot which leaves Lancelot as Guinevere’s knight. Gawain leaves with Arthur to do battle, & they return to Camelot falling apart. Gawain & Lot advocate for Guinevere, whom Mordred says should be burned at the stake, but Lancelot has to rescue her. At the final battle, Lot is mortally wounded & Gawain holds him as he dies (cries harder).

Kaamelott (2004-2009)

Gauvain is a silly goose. I haven’t watched very much of this show but I love that he’s besties with Yvain.

Starz Camelot (2011)

One of the first Gawains I ever loved. He’s introduced in episode 3 as a warrior Leontes tries to enlist for Arthur with the help of Kay. He can’t read & is convinced to accompany them back to Camelot after Kay promises to teach him to read. He has two swords & he’s a really compelling character.

Rising Impact (2024)

A cheesy sports anime that stars Gawain. He falls in love with golf and moves to Tokyo to practice where he meets the local champion, Lancelot. They become friends & get scouted by Merlin to enroll at Arthur's Camelot Academy where they are trained to be professional golfers. At a competition with the British school, they golf against Tristan & Percival.

Games

Sonic and The Black Knight

Gawain is "played" by the red echidna, Knuckles, and a boss fight encounter for Sonic. He dual wields two swords collectively called "Galatine."

Camelot Crush: A Round Table Dating Sim

Gawain is one of the romancable characters.

Agravaine

Books

Mordred: A Tragedy by Henry Newbolt

Agravaine is super important here, Mordred’s confidant, his big bro who supports him whole heartedly. Agravaine’s wife Laurel is also important here, but from the ladies side. He has super hard hitting lines throughout & plays off Mordred’s philosophies really well.

The Story of King Arthur and His Knights by Howard Pyle

The Story of the Champions of the Round Table by Howard Pyle

The Story of Sir Launcelot and his Companions by Howard Pyle

The Story of the Grail and the Passing of Arthur by Howard Pyle

Agravaine is among Guinevere’s knights! He’s one of many that attempted to defend her when Meleagant comes to kidnap her. He’s present throughout the books, popping in & out of stories & then a partial catalyst alongside his brother Mordred for the fall of Camelot.

Sir Agravaine by P. G. Wodehouse

Agravaine of all time. He’s short, he’s nervous, he’s average looking at best. A total sweetheart that volunteers his aid to a likewise average looking gal named Yvonne who comes to court seeking aid against a dragon. On the journey they fall in love & marry. Adorable illustrations throughout.

Modred, A Fragment by Edwin Arlington Robinson

A tiny story that essentially covers a single conversation between Modred, Agravaine, & Colgrevance. Agravaine seems more hesitant to utilize Colgrevance in their plans as he's an honorable knight worries the trap will backfire. I think it speaks to his character that he wants to see justice done but values the life of others.

The Queen's Knight by Marvin Borowsky

Agravaine is so insane here. There’s no heterosexual explanation for anything he does. He wants Lancelot so bad it makes him look stupid. From literally moment one he’s obsessed & enlists solely because Lancelot invites him personally. Agravaine's also skilled in dressage? What a guy. He’s mentioned by name in the newspaper article about the book published in 1955 which is so cool. My boy is famous! Content warning for Mordred pederasty.

The Legend of King Arthur novelization by Andrew Davies

A great book based on a great show! The author of the novel also wrote the show! Agravain gets extra depth here. His inner thoughts are really compelling, his aspirations to attain the level of recognition Lancelot takes for granted, his reluctance to kill people to reach his goals, & his remorse after he does anyway.

The Chessboard Queen by Sharan Newman

Guinevere Evermore by Sharan Newman

Agravaine is the eldest son of Morgan le Fay/Lot, older brother to Gawain, Gaheris, Gareth, & Mordred. He’s a well-meaning guy, if painfully awkward & a nervous wreck. He frequently calls family meetings with his younger brothers to discuss matters so they can stand as a united front. He helps Gawain manage his sun powers disability & remains fiercely loyal to Arthur, whom he consistently calls “uncle.” He’s also chill with Lancelot for a change. Once Agravaine realized Lancelot had been tricked/trapped by Elaine, he went to the tower they were in & brought Lancelot a horse to help him escape. Agravaine’s pro-adultery & made a pact with Gawain, Gaheris, & Gareth to protect Guinevere. After Morgan retires to live in the Lake Kingdom, he becomes king of Cornwall, where he eventually dies of old age.

The Book of Mordred by Peter Hanratty

Agravaine is a cousin of Mordred whom he meets at boarding school. After getting caught in bed with another boy, Agravaine was sent there to give his father time to smooth the scandal over. He mistakes Mordred's philosophical talk regarding otherness to mean he knows Agravaine's secret & he freaks him out as he desperately tries to remain closeted.

First Knight novelization by Elizabeth Chadwick

Hear me out. The 1995 movie is bad, but Chadwick’s book is pretty damn good. It obviously focuses mostly on Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot, but Agravaine’s semi-prominent role in the movie is expanded somewhat & we even get his pov! He’s honorable & interesting.

By Camelot's Blood by Sarah Zettel

Agravain is present in each book of the series, but this final installment is about his arranged marriage to Laurel. It's so delicious. Perfect characterization. He’s the type that’s actually extremely anxious all the time but it manifests to everyone else as cold & withdrawn. He doesn’t even know Laurel, they’re a “pair the spares” situation, but actually have a lot in common, particularly their devotion to their families & countries. Word comes that Lot is dying, he’s been mad for years after Morgause disappeared, so Laurel/Agravain head north to deal with that. Laurel has magic so she helps combat the supernatural forces at play. The couple fall in love during this whole time it’s very sweet I love them so much.

Movies

Knights of the Round Table (1953)

Agravaine first appears alongside Mordred & Morgan at the sword in the stone. He’s sent by Mordred to intervene as Arthur travels through the woods but runs into Lancelot/Elaine instead. After getting his ass kicked, he doesn’t do a lot aside from appear at Mordred’s side the whole movie. At the end he jumps Lancelot outside Guinevere’s chamber, gets his face burned off by a torch, then comes back for round two before Lancelot kills him which was pretty metal.

Morte d'Arthur (1984)

In this reading & reenactment of Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, Agravain fulfills his exact role as his medlit counterpart, scheming with Mordred & subsequently slain by Lancelot outside Guinevere's chamber door.

Merlin and The Sword (1985)

Agravaine gay as hell for Lancelot once again. Introduced by Merlin’s narration as a villain, Agravaine’s first order of business is to get drunk with Gawain then try to fight Lancelot for literally no reason. Agravaine tries to tackle Lancelot as he walks by but gets caught by Gawain, “Gently, gently, little brother!” After Guinevere’s kidnapped by Grak, Arthur leaves Agravaine behind to watch Camelot. Word comes of Arthur’s death, & Mordred crowns himself king, with Agravaine just hanging out vibing, though he’s aghast when Arthur turns up alive. Later he goes with Gawain to retrieve Lancelot/Guinevere from the Hidden World. At the end, he stations men outside the chamber to catch Lancelot/Guinevere, but when Mordred goes to “fetch” Arthur, he returns instead with Excalibur, having killed Arthur. Agravaine is horrified by the unjust death of his king, but succumbs to the sunk cost fallacy, proceeds with the plan, & dies in the battle.

TV Shows

The Legend of King Arthur (1979)

Agravain comes to court with Aunt Morgan & younger brother Mordred. He’s immediately on Lancelot/Guinevere’s case, openly rejecting Courtly Love (for heterosexual reasons). After spying on the couple, he talks to Gawain & Gareth about it, though they yell at him & desperately try to get him to understand it’s none of his business. After Mordred pretends he doesn’t know anything, Agravain goes to Arthur & explains his position, concerned over Arthur’s honor. He’s scolded & sent away like a wounded puppy as none of the others side with him. Later Morgan comes up with a plan to feed Guinevere “truth teller” peaches to make her confess. Guinevere gives her peach to Guido who eats it instead, & dies, leaving Guinevere accused of murder. Agravain is horrified & starts to panic, saying, “The Queen is guilty of much but she is innocent in this. If she is condemned, we are damned!” Studying him in a lab. These events morally degrades him. Later he’s eager to frame Guinevere as if she’s slept with Lancelot, which she hadn’t, then deliver her to the stake, where Lancelot kills him.

Gaheris

The Story of King Arthur and His Knights by Howard Pyle

The Story of the Champions of the Round Table by Howard Pyle

The Story of Sir Launcelot and his Companions by Howard Pyle

The Story of the Grail and the Passing of Arthur by Howard Pyle

Gaheris starts out as Gawain’s wee squire & accompanies him on his adventures. Later he’s knighted himself & pops in & out of the story similarly to his role in Malory, although he is a morally good character here, never hurting his mother, & his death alongside Gareth is all the more tragic because of it.

The Chessboard Queen by Sharan Newman

Guinevere Evermore by Sharan Newman

Gaheris is the middle-born Orkney bro but an important part of the family unit, working with Agravaine to help Gawain overcome his disability so he can participate in the battle. Later he becomes very austere & priest-like. A different Gaheris than we’re used to seeing, but interesting nonetheless.

The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf by Gerald Morris

This is BIG SPOILERS, but Gaheris was cursed to be a dwarf. While Lynette struggles with her unrequited love for Gareth, who only has eyes for her sister, the dwarf Roger that has been her companion ends up transforming back into his true form, a knight named Gaheris who wins her heart. It’s very romantic.

Gawain by Gwen Rowley

Gaheris shows up to help Ragnelle’s brother Gromer escape a sticky situation, then comes to court. He & Arthur are both grossed out by Ragnelle, but Ragnelle says she recalls (before she was cursed) Gaheris had been her favorite of Gawain’s little brothers. He’s so sweet & funny!

Gareth

Books

The Story of Sir Launcelot and his Companions by Howard Pyle

The Story of the Grail and the Passing of Arthur by Howard Pyle

Gareth is the favorite son of Margaise/Lot. He leaves home to make his own way and comes to Arthur's court without a name. He's not very deferential to Arthur, which Kay calls out, only for Gareth to be rude back. From here Kay takes him into the kitchens, names him Beaumains, & puts him to work. He grows up on his adventure with Lynette & marries Layonnesse.

The Chessboard Queen by Sharan Newman

Guinevere Evermore by Sharan Newman

Gareth is the second youngest son of Morgan le Fay. He's described as unattractive & awkward. He immediately attaches himself to Lancelot & becomes fixated on him. He's so confident that Lancelot is perfect that he dislikes Guinevere for "corrupting" him but ultimately follows his older brothers' leads to protect her from the scrutiny of those who would expose the affair.

Under Camelot's Banner by Sarah Zettel

The third book in a series which follows Gareth's journey through knighthood & romance with Lynet. He starts out very cocky & unlikable despite apprenticing with Lancelot. Against his brothers' advisement, he challenges Uncle Kai to a duel & loses terribly.

Movies

Knights of the Round Table (1953)

Gareth is a harper in Lancelot's party & the brother of Gawaine. He has a gorgeous singing voice & often encourages Lancelot to join in to coax him out of his melancholy. He & Gawaine have a sweet playful rivalry throughout the movie. After Galahad is born, Gawaine & Gareth bring him south for Arthur/Guinevere to meet before he's sent to grandpa Ban.

Sword of Lancelot (1963)

Gareth is a minor character spoken to by Gawain a handful of times before he's ultimately slain by Lancelot. This is Gawain's motivation for challenging Lancelot to a duel.

Later when Agravain & Mordred broach the subject of Guinevere/Lancelot's relationship, Gareth says, "Their love is innocent! The king smiles on it!" Later, after Guinevere is accused of murder, Mador de le Porte is going to fight Lancelot, Gareth takes a boat ride with Bors to talk with him about faith & whether or not Lancelot will win in defense of Guinevere as it's a righteous cause. Later, after Guinevere/Lancelot are caught together, Gareth goes with Agravain to the stake where she's to be burned. When Lancelot & Bors come to rescue her, he's trampled to death by mistake.

Mordred

Books

Mordred: A Tragedy by Henry Newbolt

Possibly the best Mordred ever written. He learns he's Arthur's son right as the kingdom proves fraught with problems Arthur is either unable to or incapable of handling. Mordred first confides his true parentage in Agravaine. From there, their philosophical talk escalates, & they ultimately set the plan to usurp into motion. Mordred is uniquely grounded here with entirely valid concerns for the well-being & stability of the kingdom.

The Story of the Champions of the Round Table by Howard Pyle

The Story of Sir Launcelot and his Companions by Howard Pyle

The Story of the Grail and the Passing of Arthur by Howard Pyle

Mordred is in all but the very first of Howard Pyle's books. Like Agravaine, he's mostly just hanging out before the fall of Camelot is initiated.

The Queen's Knight by Marvin Borowsky

Mordred is unrelated to Arthur in this book. He's an enemy warlord conquering the land. The story follows many perspectives but Mordred's is fascinating & compelling. Content warning for pederasty as Mordred is portrayed as a repressed gay man who eventually sleeps with a youth before embracing his sexuality afterward, even developing a relationship with Colgrevance during his time undercover "defeated" at Camelot.

Idylls of the Queen by Phyllis Ann Karr

Mordred is Karr's babygirl & it shows. The book is first person Kay's perspective, but Mordred is his worstie & they go traveling together in pursuit of Lancelot so he can defend Guinevere from the murder accusation after Patrise is poisoned. Mordred plainly knows more about himself (ie, Arthur is his father) than he's letting on, & he's descending into a kind of madness about it, which Kay is perplexed by.

The Book of Mordred by Peter Hanratty

The Last Knight of Albion by Peter Hanratty

Mordred is introduced as a neglected child of Arthur living with his witch mother Morgause in the woods. Sensing apparent danger, she abruptly leaves him, but he's found by Palomides & brought to Arthur, not knowing his mother has been burned at the stake. After arriving at court, Mordred struggles to find his place, befriending a young Galahad, then his cousin Agravaine, but not quite fitting in anywhere. He's well-read & nurtures his own philosophies about the world. He develops an eating disorder among other self-destructive behaviors. He goes on Grail Quest with Lancelot & Galahad. He advocates for the well-fare of monsters they find along the way, defending them from Galahad who would see them all murdered. In book 2, it's post-Camlann, & the protagonist is young Percival. He travels around Britain encountering many people displaced by Mordred's war with Arthur as well as meeting Mordred himself. The third book in the series in German & I haven't scanned it yet so I don't know how the trilogy ends. :^(

A Camelot Triptych by Norris J. Lacy

Norris J. Lacy, beloved editor of the Vulgate, blesses us with his own retelling full of entirely good takes. He's a genius. The first part is told by Merlin, second part by Guinevere, & finally Mordred says his piece. It's a fascinating structure which allows for enough narrative openness to indicate the unreliable narrations of each protagonist. Mordred is painted in a starkly unflattering light before we hear his perspective. It's heartbreaking to see how the tragic events of his life shaped his belief. His rationale makes a surprising amount of sense. Despite the perception of his traitorous acts, he believes he's acting honorably by taking down the tyrant Arthur for the benefit of the country, going so far as to say it's not murder if he dies too. It's evident by the time the narrative reaches him, he's resigned to his fate, but considers it a worthy sacrifice.

Movies

Knights of the Round Table (1953)

Modred isn't Arthur's son but appears to be his nephew (Morgan, his mother (I think?) is the "step"-sister of Arthur). He's contesting Arthur for the right to rule, but fails to pull the sword from the stone. After Agravaine fails to assassinate Arthur thanks to an intervention by Lancelot, a war between the two factions breaks out, Modred, Morgan, Agravaine, & the other regional kings versus Arthur, Lancelot, Merlin, Gawain, Gareth, Percival, & the loyalists. After Modred loses, he, Morgan, & Agravaine join Arthur's court & lay low for many years, plotting. They repeatedly attempt to expose Guinevere/Lancelot's love, but fail until after Lancelot's wife Elaine passes away & he returns to court for good. That's when Agravaine exposes the affair & sets the battle of Camlann into motion. Modred doesn't die here, but mortally wounds Arthur. After Lancelot & Percival put Arthur to rest, Lancelot battles Modred to the death & kills him.

Sword of Lancelot (1963)

Mordred is introduced early as a knight of the Round Table & Arthur's bastard son. He has a tiny falcon Griselda he carries everywhere on his shoulder & talks to. (Agravaine got replaced ig.) Mordred has a romantic relationship with Vivian, a handmaiden of Guinevere's, whom he manipulates into spying for him. He's the butt of jokes from Dagonet for his obvious jealousy & desire to be recognized as Arthur's heir. After exposing Lancelot/Guinevere, he eggs Arthur on in the war against Lancelot. Ultimately, Lancelot & Lamorak are banished to Brittany, but Gawain comes to fetch them after Mordred killed Arthur. Lancelot returns to Britain to battle Mordred & kills him in a sword fight.

Camelot (1967)

Mordred is introduced late in the musical, but he's so cunty in his leather outfit. Tragically his song Seven Deadly Virtues is cut. He bamboozles Arthur & worms his way into the king's confidence, carefully approaching the subject of Guinevere/Lancelot. He eventually reveals the affair & brings in his brothers & friends to lend aid to his cause. The final battle at Camlann isn't shown.

Excalibur (1981)

Mordred is a product of Morgana transforming herself into Guinevere & becoming pregnant with him through Arthur. She raises him in isolation as the land around them withers & the remaining knights search for the Holy Grail. Young Mordred is played by director John Boorman's son. He wears golden armor which reminds me of Greek or Roman armor that has abs carved into it. His helmet has a face as well it's cool. He lures Percival to Morgana's lair where they attempt to trap & kill him, but he escapes. Much later, Mordred has reached adulthood & at last goes to Camelot to meet Arthur & challenge him. It's not until Arthur is restored by the Holy Grail that he's able to ride out, retrieve Excalibur from Guinevere, then go to battle with Mordred. Merlin's ghost shows up & tricks Morgana into using the last of her magic to cover the battlefield in fog & costs Mordred his advantage. He strangles her to death & then battles Arthur, but he's struck through the chest with a spear, hitting Arthur with his own sword before he dies. Iconic. Gorgeous film. 10/10.

Morte d'Arthur (1984)

In this reading & reenactment of Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, Mordred fulfills his exact role as his medlit counterpart, initiating the trap for Guinevere/Lancelot. The actor is very evocative with his movements & wears black eyeliner. He even hugs Arthur.

Merlin and The Sword (1985)

Mordred is Arthur's bastard son by Morgause. He's pretty lame & whimpy, weak & cowardly. He tries to impress Arthur but fails continuously, even with auntie Morgan's attempts to help. He's besties with Agravaine. He helps facilitate Guinevere's kidnapping by Grak. In the extended cut he has a yucky incest relationship with Morgan that we're going to ignore. He's present at Gawain & Ragnelle's wedding then the next we see him, he's working with Agravaine to expose Guinevere/Lancelot together in the chamber. Mordred goes to Arthur to try & get him to see that Lancelot has betrayed him with the queen. Arthur refuses, but they have a brief heart-to-heart & embrace. Mordred stabs Arthur in the back & steals Excalibur. Agravaine is shook but they push onward. Everyone dies except Mordred who flees Lancelot & returns to Morgan. She summons a dragon but Lancelot defeats that too & Merlin helps by killing Morgan. When Mordred sees he's beat, he tries to surrender, but Lancelot kills him immediately it's kinda funny how anti-climactic it was. Not Mordred's most courageous portrayal, but I like the movie as a whole.

Camelot (1998)

Listen, trust me. I know it's ugly. But hey, written by Peter S. Beagle, okay? Mordred is the son of Morgause/Arthur, arriving at Camelot from the Isle of Avalon where he was raised. Arthur embraces him immediately. Things go awry quickly as Mordred notices the love between Guinevere/Lancelot. When he brings it up to Arthur, Mordred sees for the first time there are limits to Arthur's love. He decides he has to prove it to his father to get him to understand, & sets a trap to catch the couple together. It works, except he didn't account for pro-adultery Arthur, who actually knocks Mordred out himself to allow Guinevere/Lancelot an escape. Later as the factions divide up, Gawain on Arthur's side, Palomides on Lancelot's, etc, they try to reconcile on the field, when a fight breaks out & the battle commences. Arthur is mortally wounded in the fray, which stops the fight immediately. Guinevere, Lancelot, & Mordred run to Arthur & tearfully fuss over him. Vivian & Merlin appear to take Arthur away to Avalon, where his spirit reunites with Morgause.

Arthur & Merlin: Knights of Camelot (2020)

This story follows the plot of Alliterative Morte Arthure. Arthur has seemingly abandoned Camelot in the interest of conquest of Rome. Modred, his bastard son, remained behind & has usurped the throne. He's destroyed the Round Table in favor of a rectangle one with himself at the head. Arthur's loyalists, Agravain, Bedivere, Lucan, & Guinevere try to resist him, but when Modred's magic lady Antigone kills Agravain, they know it's useless. Bedivere & Lucan depart to retrieve Arthur which leaves Guinevere at court to continue resisting Modred's attempts to rule & increasingly forward advances. Guinevere resists him she's the best it's lowkey funny he acts all tough but he's clearly intimidated by her, as she says herself, she's known him since he was a child & refuses to fear him. But eventually he bribes a priest to marry them & they're kneeling at the altar when Lucan shoots & kills the priest (lol) as Arthur's men descend into the hall & kill all of Mordred's men. Eventually Mordred's forces are overpowered & he surrenders at Arthur's feet. Arthur refuses to kill his son & banishes him instead.

TV Shows

The Adventures of Sir Galahad (1949)

Mordred is introduced alongside Bors as the favorites to win the joust, but they're both defeated by a Fair Unknown who reveals himself to be Galahad. Mordred appears in every episode as both Arthur's advisor as well as the antagonist trying to undermine Galahad's rise to knighthood. He's so funny to me, the way he wrestles Galahad to the pull the sword from the stone, tries to torture him, his cunty fits. Love it.

The Legend of King Arthur (1979)

Mordred is the youngest son of Morgause/Lot. He comes to court with his aunt Morgan & brother Agravain, immediately gossiping about all the court's goings on. He nudges Agravain into his obsession with Lancelot/Guinevere, strategically abandoning the cause when they fly too close to the sun & rouse Arthur's ire. He's clever & obedient to his aunt Morgan. He's a smooth talker who hypes his brothers & sucks up to Guinevere/Arthur, fully convincing them he's a good & honest knight. After Arthur & Gawain head to Gaunes to challenge Lancelot, Mordred usurps the throne & allies with the Saxons, against Morgan's wishes. When Guinevere returns to court, she plots with Bedivere & Griflet to warn Arthur, who returns to fight Mordred. Mordred feigns surrender before stabbing Arthur, receiving a mortal sword blow in return.

Merlin (1998)

Mordred is the son of Morgan le Fay/Arthur. He's raised at Tintagel with his mother & some fay people. He grows to manhood faster than normal & shows up at court as Arthur returns war. Mordred fans the flames of animosity between Guinevere/Arthur by exposing the affair & turning the crowd against her. But she's rescued from the stake by Lancelot. Mordred ultimately goes to battle with Arthur. He's nearly defeated when he stabs Arthur & receives his death wound. So sassy. So sexy. Cunty. Fierce. Not here for a long time but here for a good time.

Some Orm Marius Headcanons Just Because

Pairing: Orm Marius x reader

A/N: Orm headcanons because apparently why not. Orm is my new crush I guess? I don't know either. Wow this got really long. Not sorry. I haven't had inspiration in forever and it feels nice.

I imagine that if you're ever fancy enough to have a shower and tub separate from each other (which is my idea of fancy, I love giant bathtubs I'm a weirdo) he would chill in a full tub of water while you shower. The first time he does it he scares the crap out of you. Now it's kinda nice.

Also, taking baths together. He might scrunch up his nose and tell you he'll think about it when you first ask. Eventually he'll agree but fights you on the temperature of the water the whole time. You're better off just setting up camp next to the tub if you really want to hang out with him while he marinates.

Call it his Marinating Time and you get The Frown™️. Arthur 100% looses his shit and wonders why he didn't think of it first the first time he hears it and it catches on like wildfire.

Have a campfire with Orm and he'll awkwardly stand 10 feet away while you try to lure him closer. Eventually he comes around to it but he likes it more because of how much you like it. S'mores are secretly his favorite though.

And once he cooks over the fire that's it. That's the only way you'll get him to cook. Why? Because of the taste🤌 that's why.

You two can look at the lobster tank at the grocery store together. Dare him to steal the lobsters and he'll give you The Frown™️ because that would be childish.

You always bring a water bottle with you when you go out anywhere on land together. Like one of those giant, metal, double walled monstrosities that are heavy as fuck and hold half a gallon. He thinks you're insane for lugging it around everywhere until he realizes one day that he drinks out of it more than you and that you're carrying it around for him. He's such an idiot I love him

Likes the feeling of you idly running your fingers through his hair. It kind of reminds him of being underwater, feeling the current.

You get along with Arthur in a way that almost worries Orm. In the sense that you will 100% charge at Arthur in a mock fight and try to wrestle him to the ground as a greeting after like, the second time you meet him. Arthur is absolutely siked to have you around, you lighten Orm up but don't take shit from Arthur.

Which makes Tom instantly happy you're around. You two often commiserate over having fallen in love with Atlanteans and what not. Lots of comfortable silences between you to.

And Junior. Orm has all kinds of feelings he does not want to think about when he first sees you holding Arthur and Mera's kid. Even if his Mother is giving him a knowing look as you spin the laughing kid around until you land safely on the couch.

You get along so well with Atlanna even if she's a little intimidating at first. She sees how much you care for her younger son, how you don't let him linger on the outside looking in because "this is your family too, Orm" and she he hugs you a little too tight after hearing that, after seeing small stolen moments between you and Orm. Her sons are happy.

If you want Orm to teach you how to fight he will say absolutely not and when you ask Arthur, who obviously says hell yeah, only then does Orm take over. But then you tell Atlanna one day that you think he's going easy on you so she lovingly starts training you to kick ass. She does not go easy on you. It's kind of awesome.

If you ever go to a museum and see a tylosaur fossil and Orm casually points out he use to ride one, you literally drag him to the nearest beach and demand he proves it because LOOK AT THAT? ⬇️ THAT'S COOL AS FUCK!

So I went ice skating today and since I have Orm on my brain I was thinking about ice skating with Orm and he would be so very, very horrible when he first steps out on the ice. Thinks you are purposely trying to embarrass him. He's a baby deer on ice. The Frown™️ is impressive if you laugh at him falling because honestly the ice rink is in more trouble than Orm when he falls anyway.

I think (sometimes) he learns things through shear stubbornness. He doesn't want anyone's help. He can figure this out on his own thank you very much, no matter how many times he falls (literally or metaphorically) just to prove he can. But when it clicks and he gets it, man is graceful as hell. Does laps around you and gets brave enough to pick you up and zoom around with you yelling at him the whole time.

Also, he likes when you praise him praise kink? praise kink.

He gets snarky when he's upset and I imagine he can be pretty mean without thinking about it. Probably has a hard time apologizing when the relationship is still new.

So, so worried about seeming too vulnerable around you. Tell him directly that it is okay to be vulnerable, you love him, you trust him and you want him to trust you.

[wyldeking]

I've rewatched the Owl House dozens of times now and my favorite scene (excluding season 3 because that shit is magical, pun intended,) is Hunter and Amity's fight at Eclipse Lake.

Earlier in the episode, Amity and Hunter have a chat where Hunter proclaims that they both have a lot at stake, unlike Eda and King. She attempts to argue but is interrupted by the sound of her Tamagotchi-Text thing, as Luz sends a text that Amity misinterprets as Luz threatening her with leaving if she doesn't return with the Titan Blood. Hunter almost directly after takes off and gets a massive head start to Eclipse Lake.

While Eda deals with the scouts and Kikimora, Amity chases after Hunter with King by her side. She enters the room to have this exchange with Hunter.

"Don't worry. I won't pick a fight. There's no Titan Blood."

"Then why are you digging?"

"Oh, it's simple really. Belos needs Titan Blood to make a new portal key. Can't get to the human realm without it."

"There's blood in the key?"

*Amity tightens her grip around the portal key.*

"Since I failed my last mission, I thought, 'Hey, a chance to make up for it.' But I can't go back empty-handed. Not again."

Hunter is noticeably hysterical, laughing between almost every sentence he speaks.

"Long story short, this is my grave. Want me to make you one too?"

"This is really bumming me out." King says simply.

"That's just life, rat. Everyone has a use, and if you don't pbtpbt bye-bye! Your friend gets it."

With the help of King, Amity finally learns how to interpret the text. Luz had never even thought of leaving her awesome girlfriend. Almost immediately after realizing, she becomes almost as bright and sunny as Luz is. With a burst of inspiration, she decides to give Hunter the best message she could think of.

"I grew up thinking that everything was an opportunity to justify existing, but there are people out there make you feel worthless. You just have to let yourself meet them."

She offers her hand, but unfortunately, Hunter notices the key sticking out of her coat, and a battle ensues. Hunter is sweating and incredibly anxious, which shows with the way he fights. Hunter keeps dashing around, making magical sparks fly everywhere. Meanwhile Amity is holding a poker face as she almost effortlessly dodges and blocks every one of his attacks. Every attack that she throws out has a very obviously calculated plan attached.

Hunter eventually tears the key away from Amity and they end up cornering each other. Despite that, Amity still very clearly has the upper hand, with a blade pointed at the neck of the battered Hunter that is caked in abomination goo. Hunter desperately thinking of a way out to give the blood to his uncle, tells Amity, quote;

"Listen, you're strong, and I'm tired. if this continues, you'll probably escape, but here's the thing: We know where to find you and your human. So just hand over the key."

Hunter's threat to kill Amity is completely empty, as they just displayed, Amity clearly has the upper hand. But Luz? The last time she saw her she was sick out of her mind and incredibly delirious. So Amity finally slips, the key cracks as her grip tightens, spilling half the blood. Hunter wins and slips away with the key.

This scene is so damn great because the emotions of the characters make perfect sense and intertwine with everything, we've known about them up until this point. Not to mention the music in this scene absolutely slaps ass and the animation is top-notch.

Sebastian solace headcanons here we go!

°sebastian specifically loves hairless cats

°sebastian dislikes being touched for many reasons, a big one is he is so touch starved to the point of if anyone gives him any form of gentle physical touch he becomes scared that he will become vulnerable and attached, opening a weak spot for him that he hates anyone knowing about

°sebastian has a phobia of needles, for that reason he refused to stitch up the wounds on his third arm, causing it to eventually get infected due to unsanitary conditions in the blacksite and leave a huge scar in the future

°he has joint problems cause of his body being mutated, due to this he tends to stretch like an old man and complain about back pain all of the time

°sebastian isint as much of an asshole as he acts around expendables, he tries his hardest to put up a snarky demeanor to stop himself from attempting to form any sort of friendship with the expendables due to them only being there to secure the crystal

°sebastian has gills on both his neck and torso, only the ones on his neck work tho... the ones on his torso are purely for decoration

°his gills tend to get itchy and dry often so he always has a bottle of water on him to wet his gills so he doesn't scratch at them

°sebastian is demisexual and uses he/they pronouns!

°sebastian loves baggy clothes, post blacksite he learned how to make clothing so he could make his own clothes, either that or he has to spend a stupid amount of money to buy custom made clothes

°sebastian is not good at swimming, as he was never taught how to swim in his new body. Adding onto that during the blacksite he had very strong abdominal and upper body strength to pull himself around, that gradually lessened post blacksite due to not needing to move around as much and need the strength to fight off other monsters in the blacksite

°he watches soap operas when he gets sad

°he has troubles writing due to his larger hands

°his favorite fruit is a mix between pomegranate, strawberries and lychees

°post blacksite he gets a trained service animal (most likely a cat) for ptsd and anxiety

°he tends to accidentally bite his tongue on his sharp teeth

°he has vocal stims, they tend to piss him off when he's trying to talk to an expendable and his brain has an overwhelming urge to stim, causing him to slip up on his words

°post blacksite he got into animal jam, full ass artic wolf rocking a black long kinda dude

°sebastian pick and plucks his scales often, as he used to pluck his eyelashes as a kid and during the blacksite and all of the stress he migrated to picking at his scales

°sebastian gets really giggly when high

°once you get to know Sebastian well he's very cuddly, like will strangle you affectionately cuddly

°sebastian has a customer service voice due to working at a pita pit growing up

°sebastian sleeps alot, like ALOT

And that's all for now! Tbh it would be amazing if I saw somebody draw some of these lol-

It feels awesome to get these out of my brain cause of him being one of my main fictionkins

Ronance headcanons?

Ronance Headcanons

I have had the BIGGEST brain rot about these two, you guys don't even know, so please excuse my rambling session in this post. As always- feel free to share your headcanons, opinions, thoughts ideas, just be kind <3

-Robin is the biggest simp to ever exist. Nancy mentions liking a color? Guess who's suddenly adding it all over their wardrobe! A favourite food? She's already learned how to cook it. Allergic to something? Robin will destroy it with her bare hands and make it go extinct to protect her girl.

-Likewise, Nancy would and will kill for Robin (come on Robin tell her to kill for you she wants to)

-Their favourite dates include them sitting in one of their rooms, a movie or music playing as they discuss conspiracy theories or whatever story Nancy is working on

"There's been a ton of missing items from farms in the areas. Animals, tools, bales of hay-"

"could it be aliens?"

"Alie- Robin it's not aliens!"

"What? Interdimensional monsters are real but aliens aren't?"

-Many people assume Nancy would get annoyed by Robins carefree joke centered attitude but actually she calms down whenever Robin tries making jokes.

-She doesn't like when people don't take things seriously, but she knows Robin is taking it serious, but using humour to make sure they don't spiral with the problem

-their relationship definitely started off rocky but with some time, understanding and surprisingly really deep conversations they learn to appreciate the little things about one another.

-Robin loves Nancy's drive and her leadership skills. She makes sure that everyone takes her seriously and if the kids complain about Nancy being a hard ass she brings them back to listen.

"Nancy's not our boss!"

"No, but she's the one keeping you dipshits safe- she knows what she's doing so listen up and quit complaining"

-They kids listen to Robin more and so when she follows Nancy with no complaints, the kids unconsciously follow suit.

-When Nancy gets stressed/aggravated Robin will be there to lend her a shoulder. They're very much leader/Right Hand man coded to me.

-Nancy doesn't know much about queer culture so when she does eventually come out Robin is happy to talk to her about it and share what she knows.

"So we use Blue violets because Sappho used to describe women wearing garlands of them,"

"Sappho?"

"... Do you have a spar 3 hours so I can explain Sappho and Greek poetry to you?"

-They take all kinds of cute little Polaroids that they keep at Robins place

(examples of said Polaroids)

-Robins family is more supportive so often Nancy goes over there to spend the night

-when college comes up in discussions Robin mentions that she enjoyed investigating with Nancy, the research was fun when they didn't have death looming over them.

"Yeah, learning Russian to break the code was awesome- the torture kind of ruined it though-"

"The WHAT?"

-Nancy asks Robin 1000X if Robin is sure she wants to go to the same college/same field and Robin promises her that she isn't only going because of her.

"I'd follow you anywhere, but this is also for me- if I have to do one more customer service job I might kill someone."

-They love movie nights, curled up under a blanket watching whatever film they can find. Robin always finds the oddest ones and sometimes some really deep indie films. Nancy also enjoys the foreign films she can find and let's her choose.

-on nights Nancy chooses- she likes care free fun films. Nothing too heavy because she likes the simplicity

-Theyre a gross matching couple- but in a new fun way.

-Mat hing colors in their respective styles, using each other's clothes and making it go with their personal choices, matching patterns/designs.

-They also shared shoes sometimes

-On the 90s Nancy gets a more "Rachel from friends" style like this

-Robin eats it up like no one is watching and often has to hold back from just kissing her 24/7

(also I badly wanna do a look book of the characters so Please someone ask for that because I love fashion)

I definitely probably have more but here you are!!

[anthurak]

Okay here’s a fun bit of off-the-cuff, unhinged rambling:

So I’ve been playing some Yugioh Duel Links lately, specifically the current Arc-V event focused on Rin and Lulu. And I noticed that Rin has some rather interesting dialogue when summoning both Clear Wing and Crystal Wing Synchro Dragons (for context, the ace-monsters of one of Arc-V’s Shonen-Protags; Yugo. For whom Rin is the plot-designated love-interest).

Stuff like; "I know you'd rather fight by my side than with Yugo!” for Clear Wing Dragon and “A monster this awesome is wasted on Yugo!” for Crystal Wing Dragon.

And not only is it rather interesting and frankly fun for a designated-shonen love-interest to be making comments like that, but she’s also not exactly wrong either…

For one, mechanically-speaking the Clear Wing dragons slot EXTREMELY well into Rin’s Windwitch archetype, which is very effective at getting out Level 7/8+ WIND Synchro monsters. To the point of even being a bit better at it, or at least a bit more reliable/consistent, than Yugo’s own Speedroid archetype.

And aesthetics-wise, the Windwitch’s whole motif is that of Icy Wind. And well…

Clear Wing Dragon, Crystal Wing Dragon, Crystal Clear Wing Dragon…

Sounds like something what would go quite well with an ICE motif, no? Certainly just as well as the ‘speed’ motif of Yugo’s Speedroids. Heck, those crystals on Crystal Wing Dragon look quite a bit like ice crystals, don’t they?

So! With all that in mind, combined with both the fact that Rin frankly deserves another badass ace monster after all the disrespectful shit her series put her through AND how the idea of a designated shonen love-interest making off with the protag’s best cards and possibly even making better use of them is frankly EXTREMELY FUN…

Yeah as far as I’m concerned, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon is Rin’s monster now whenever I play Duel Links and will have a permanent place in all of her decks.

And heck, while we’re at it let’s take this idea of Rin using Clear Wing Dragon a bit further and envision the story potential of this.

Consider if you will: An alternate version of Arc-V where Yugo is the one who gets damsel’ed and/or fridged, and RIN comes into possession of Clear Wing Synchro Dragon. To the point of even eventually becoming/revealed to be that dragon’s TRUE partner.

Sounds ludicrous, right? After all, Rin is one of the fragments/incarnations of Ray Akaba, who is basically the nemesis of the four Dimension Dragons.

But consider also: This would have made for a way more INTERESTING STORY for Arc-V!

Imagine a version of Arc-V where multiple character, mostly villains/antagonists, spend the show hyping up how the four Yu-boys are ‘destined’ to become one and recreate the terrible Zarc, and that the four bracelet girls are likewise ‘destined’ to become one and recreate Ray in order to stop him.

Only for multiple characters and events across the show to subvert and DEFY this so-called ‘destiny’.

Like say, some of both the ‘Zarc’ and ‘Ray’ fragments rejecting merging together on such a fundamental level that they CANNOT merge like what we saw in the anime?

Or one of the Yu-boys learning a summoning method that perhaps Zarc himself originally rejected? As in, RITUAL summoning.

Or one of Ray’s incarnations defying all conventional expectations and actually bonding with one of Zarc’s Dimensional Dragons, to the point of said dragon rejecting Zarc himself.

I don’t know about you, but that sounds WAY more interesting.

Also, because Clear Wing Dragon seems to be a girl dragon, I am definitely shipping her with Rin for the sake of underappreciated Yugioh yuri*. Heck, it’s a fragment of Ray in love with one of Zarc’s dragons so it’s basically an ‘enemies-to-lovers via reincarnation’ thing XD

--

*NO, not the smug Melvin-wannabe who SHOULD have gotten his ass kicked by Alexis Rhodes.

[j0eyj0rdis0n]

hey bff

you should write the general creeps with a scene partner pretty pretty please 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Hey love! Gotchu covered! I hope you enjoy <3

CREEPS WITH A SCENE S/O

JEFF THE KILLER

He would be upset it takes you FOREVER to get ready. Like why on earth should it take you so long?? He just gets out of bed in his crusty ass sweatshirt and calls it good so why can’t you too?

Eventually he’ll get used to it he just didn’t exactly understand the artistry behind it

He’d bring you bracelets and necklaces. But don’t you dare tell anyone he got it for you!!

You can get him stuff to wear but he’ll insist that he’s too good for it and it’ll ‘ruin his image’. Even though it’s literally just being disgusting. He’ll wear a necklace you give him under his sweater though

After a while he’ll get interested in your style and will let you do him up (IN PRIVATE).

If anyone makes fun of you he’d be the type to stand behind you and silently lift up his sweatshirt and show that he has a knife in his waistband or something. Absolutely no one fucks with you after that.

BEN DROWNED

Loves it but pretends to be casual about it yk? Like when you show up in a new outfit his response would be “Damn you look good babe.” But inside he’d be freaking the absolute fuck out.

Eventually he lets it slip that he thinks your style is super awesome and hot.

The kind of guy to help you pick outfits, colors, jewelry, makeup, all of it. He loves giving you his input! If you take it or not doesn’t really matter to him, it’s just the fact you took the time to listen to his ideas

Let’s you make him playlists and listens to them 24/7. Please tell the man your favorite songs.

He online shops for you 100%. Oh you saw something cute you wanted? Done. Bought.

Gives snarky remarks to people that make fun of you. “Well at least they have style. You look like you just got out of bed.”

EYELESS JACK

He’s neither here nor there about it. He’s happy as long as you’re happy. (And not wearing an obnoxious amount of perfume)

Watches you get ready every morning. He finds it very interesting the process and methods you have to get ready for the day.

He’ll proudly but silently wear whatever jewelry item you give him. Just make sure it’s not too obnoxious to the point it gets in the way of his work.

If you make him anything at all, it’s going on display in his room. No questions about it. Probably has a shrine of things you’ve made or accomplished. He’s so proud of you and he lets you know it.

Unfortunately he won’t let you dress him up or anything. He already doesn’t like how he looks and I think it would make him feel worse if you dressed him up.

But if someone makes fun of you? Ohhhh shiiiit. The whole room of creeps goes silent as they watch his fingers twitch as he decides what to do with them. Probably let’s it slide in the moment but he’ll find them later. He doesn’t want his precious darling to see him lose control.

LAUGHING JACK

Loves your style and shows you off to everyone. He’s eccentric himself so he loves when people have styles out of the ordinary.

Another one that finds you things to wear/ helps you get ready for the day.

He LOVES and absolutely wants to match with you every given chance he gets. You dyed your hair? Dye a piece of his too. You got new bracelets? Get him one too. Piercings? Get him fake ones he can glue on.

Not a huge fan of the music but he enjoys the lifestyle and the fashion. Would never ask you to change yourself in the slightest either

Probably asks Ben to buy him stuff to match with you for a surprise. Also loves surprising you with gifts!

If someone made fun of you I feel like he’d call them ‘boring’ and say something along the lines of “well that wasn’t very nice” :[

“TICCI” TOBY

Thinks you’re cute. Compliments you all the time too.

“Gosh y-you look cute today” “D-did I s-say you look cute yet today?” “Hey cutie”

Another one to wear anything you gift him proudly. “Yeah my partner made t-this for m-me.”

Will probably try to make you kandi stuff. He’ll fail miserably but hey at least he tried!

Get so involved in the culture. He’ll listen to the music, make playlists, try the clothes (even though he doesn’t like them on him), and will let you do his hair. 100% let’s you pierce whatever you want on him. He can’t feel it anyway 😉

Yells at people who make fun of you. Makes a whole ass scene. (lol see what I did there?) They’ll be so embarrassed from the absolute fiasco he makes that they’ll never say shit again. Bonus points if he throws a hatchet at them!

TIM/MASKY

Not a fan. Sorry guys, he’s not into all the edgy stuff.

He’ll probably try to convince you to tone it down a little bit if you’re going out together. I feel like he’s a little embarrassed when people stare at the both of you

He just gives me man from the south vibes, probably conservative so he’d rather live more modestly and domesticated.

Hopes it’s just a phase and you’ll grow out of it. He loves you though so no matter if you change or not he’ll stay with you. Personality over fashion!!

Eventually when he realizes you’re not changing he might start wearing jewelry you give him. Hard maybe on that one though. But if he does, he’s so protective of your gifts. If he loses them he’d be so upset. Like you probably wouldn’t see him for a few days.

And if someone makes fun of you? Shit gets violent. Don’t you dare talk about his angel like that. I’d be surprised if the person didn’t walk away with a broken bone or two.

BRIAN/HOODIE

Another secret lover. Like Ben, he thinks it’s cute. He’s much more touchy than vocal about it though.

Loves touching all the different materials of clothes you wear, the textures of your bracelets, your hair, all of it.

Will wear jewelry if you make it for him but it’s out of sight. But just know if you give it to him, he’s wearing it. Don’t expect to see it though.

Might let you pierce his eyebrow or his ears. Not as crazy as Toby with that but if you do enough convincing he miiight let you do other more prominent or risky piercings.

Definitely touches/ feels you up in a more sexual way in your outfits too. On top of your style being cute he thinks it’s pretty hot too. This man will fuck you in your clothes.

If someone fucks with you they’re getting a pipe to the head. No warning at all either.

[beanghostprincess]

Adding on to generalized chronic pain issues, specifically Devil fruit users-

The human body is about 60% water.

There's water in bone too, sorry Brook, no saving yourself there.

DF users have to keep up on hydration, but what if their inability to tolerate water includes ANY kind of water.

Luffy v Crocodile last fight in Alabasta, fighting with his blood - it affected him.

Tears? Big impacts.

Humidity? Rain? Storms? The affects are relatively minor but they are Still There. Most DF users, after an overexposure to water/rain/heavy humidity, will at best have a slight headache. At worst? Those old wives tales of staying out in the rain leading to sickness are REAL.

With my Buggy obsession, I am leaning heavily into impacts to him and those around him. So Buggy's immune system is WACKED out, both bc hus nervous system never quite got with the program of his powers and genetic predisposition. It's one of the reasons he got sick just before Laugh Tale. Fevers weren't uncommon for him AT ALL which is why none of the other Rogers were very concerned.

Shanks, though? He knew. He and Buggy had a whole ass SYSTEM for dealing with it. ((A system he drunkenly regaled Mihawk with often enough for the swordsman to have it committed to memory.))

Buggy studies medicine a bit, and so any Devil fruit users on Karai Bari have a specialty medicine made specifically with their abilities, biology, etc, in mind - including Crocodile. He doesn't let them suffer alone, bc he knows how it is and he refuses to let any of HIS be subjected to that.

Buggy just also doesn't reach out himself when he isn't doing well - enter Mihawk being like "Hello, I - stop screaming - I brought you your tea. Shanks waxed poetic about your teas for hours. Yes, I am aware of the time. No, I do not care that you are under dressed. Lay back down. I brought medicine for your headache."

Cue goth swordsman awkwardly going through the motions of caring for a sick, needy but very hesitant clown. And eventually he even finds the other... rather cute, all sleepy and smiling and soft spoken.

Gross.

Crocodile eventually catches on and swings by, intending to bully Buggy a bit, but then he ALSO get charmed and reminded of the balms for his scars, the specialty drinks Buggy had made for him, and he just... can't.

It becomes p normal when Karai Bari has a higher humidity level or rain incoming for even the regular, standard officers to remind the DF users among them to take it easy, not push it, and it's silly and over the top bc they can't he expected to do anything less.

((Bonus silly idea, Buggy is out helping with muscle work before a big storm hits, even the typical human mercs can feel the moisture in the air, and one dude just. Scoops Buggy up, all sunshine smiles like "let us handle this, Chairman Buggy! Someone as incredibly kind and courageous as yourself can rest easy with us here!"

Buggy is both flattered, offended and flustered in one go. Flattered bc "oh they DO care...", offended bc this guy did NOT just baby him did he???, and flustered bc aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaBeingHeldHELP?????

Croc would either choke on his cigar or just scoop buggy up from the other guy like "i got this, carry on"

Mihawk thought would probably shatter his wine glass, expressionless, and grab n go.

No they are NOT jealous, no they did NOT think the blush was cute on their clown- THE CLOWN, no, everyone shut up, the rain is getting to their heads, fuck off.))

This is awesome. The whole concept about DF users being affected by regular water too is great because it just adds more angst to the whole thing and it becomes more of a risk to eat the fruits. Gonna skip directly to the Cross Guild thing and say that I am SO soft and weak for Croc and Mihawk to end up smitten by Buggy somehow when they weren't planning on it. And they're so protective and take care of him and,,,, That's their boyfriend idc idc idc.

[resurrection-if-game]

Hey dude! Kind of want to thank you for something that might seem dumb but like... I have problems, not big enough to get me a wheelchair, big enough that I might need one eventually. I have a cool ass cane that I walk around with sometimes and have decided to go about it "grandpa style" as I like to say. It has a dragon with a marble in its mouth and it looks like it's preparing a fireball cuz of it. You can also fidget with the marble, apparently one of my ancestors used it long ago and it stayed in the attic for long enough that I just claimed ownership on it!

One of the things that originally discouraged me from actually using my cane outside was how medical the first one looked. No fun. Very sad. Would clash with every outfit. Would make people treat me different.

I really like the idea of you going out of your way to not only make mobility aid a part of your world, but make it cool as well. Make it so that it's not just a big functional chair, but it has like. Secret weapons. And it's flying. And they have magnetic wheels. Like... It's the kind of shit that makes me extremely happy to see that not a lot of people think about.

Anyways cheers mate keep up the good work and can't wait to romance the hell out of that lady. She will be badass enough for the both of us. :)

First off, that cane sounds cool as hell. Very "my estranged uncle with enormous wealth has invited me to his mansion for a weekend solving ancient mysteries" vibes and I am down for that!

I don't think it's a silly thing to mention, either. Mobility aids are with you either all the time or enough time that there will be people who associate that aid with you, and so why can't they be something that expresses who you are? Even better if they can go beyond their function and have hidey holes or secondary or tertiary applications.

All of this to say, I hope your awesome cane has a hidden sword that maybe you don't even know about... yet.

[hollow-lime-green]

Can you tell us a little about your D&D stuff? -sincerely an avid dnd player who loves hearing about other people’s characters

aaaa sure!

briefly - when I do actually get to be a player, I fucking love playing rogues. god i am so basic and easy, catch me playing a tiefling/changeling rogue 100% of the time. i am a power gamer though, and i'll take a lot of feats to do all sorts of weird bullshit (and the 2024 thief buffs are going to make me insufferable. fast hands has always been my favorite ability in the game, and now thief is finally good for real and not just by dm fiat).

i like every class except artificer and monk (fine just not for me), but rogues have my heart. in every game, skyrim to borderlands to d&d, I like being a pain in the ass from a long distance away. i don't get to play a lot, so i don't have a lot of characters that i'm super tied to, but right now, i'm essentially playing a cabal of tiefling/changeling rogues (one for every subclass) that are running the underground of my friend's city in a westmarch style progressive series of oneshots he hosts at our local game store.

mainly, though, i have always been a perma-dm of my groups, although I am trying to find a group that rotates better because as it turns out, being a perma-dm can absolutely fuck with your interpersonal relationships. i had a really awesome d&d group in undergrad that I DM'd for, and I have a lot of great memories from that. we played on campus for the first two years, then on roll20 for a few more years after that. unfortunately, as most d&d groups do, we died to the BBEG known as Adult Life Schedules.

since then, I've been DMing semi-regularly at a local game shop, sometimes playing, and I've made a lot of in-person friends. we play both at and outside of the shop, but almost all one-shots, although when I eventually move away from this current location, I will probably try to drag them into an online campaign. lots of dm talk and pictures under the cut, since this will be kind of long. :)

Props!

as a dm, i am very prop focused, i love a good prop. it's the engineer girlie in me. sat night I ran a 12th level one shot for my friends to test out some of the new 2024 rules at high level, and what I'm most proud of was my hidden magnet bridge (see below) - this is a progress pic but I do generally keep my sets pretty minimal aesthetically. anyway this was super fun because i set it up as this precarious bridge that they needed to get across and do some puzzles (hence the set), and then i ambushed them with the hidden magnets (actual reason for the set).

this is one of my faves from maaaaany years ago. i could do it better if I tried it again, but it's tough. this was for an encounter where an enemy was locally changing the direction of gravity, so the set rotated. it was surprisingly stable but difficult to play on due to the fact that you have like 270 degrees of the table that can see and then whoever is behind the wall (the dm) can't see shit. this was during my in-person UG years, so baby engineer but still making it work.

this is something I've done more recently that is more minimalist but insanely effective as a minigame. i had some players navigating through a space field, so they had to plot a course through this minefield and peel off the tape stickers one by one to see if they hit a danger. again, left is a progress pic. they all got blacked out. the right one was actually my dm key during the session lol, so I knew what they were gonna hit before they hit it.

I do a lot of mini prop pieces to go on top of my battle map as terrain, mostly cardboard just to give height and make things a bit more dynamic. and i'll usually have some lair action that rotates or takes away some of that terrain. one other thing I'm playing around with is this plexiglass transparent overlay designed for water combat, so I can put biiiiiig bad guys underneath the party. that one is for a oneshot based on the game DREDGE (which I highly recommend by the way - fishing survival cozygame with an eldritch monstrous flair). this lighthouse works as a sanity indicator, so as the party loses sanity (due to the eldritch fish), I can change its color.

i have no idea how i've run this game like 7 times and yet I can't find any pictures of it, but I have a one-shot that is based on Potion Permit (another farming sim cozygame) where the players collect these tiny cardboard tetris pieces and have to use them to complete tetris piece recipes to make potion and Save The Town From Illness! players love a prop, players love a minigame, and i love running those things as well.

Characters!

I have a lot of DMPCs that I love from my long campaigns, but DMPCs can be irritating, so i have shifted away from character-driven things for my oneshots. when I go back to doing campaigns, I'm going to try to do them better? I don't know, getting people invested in OCs whether it's writing or ttrpg is always sort of a challenge. players get invested in the bonds between the party but not often in their actual NPCs. So I'm not going to yap about them too much, but I'll list the concepts of my fave DMPCs:

blind bard who sees through a force field cantrip like cat whiskers - later becomes a seer (like divination) at the cost of losing his blindsight due to Player-Caused Apocalypse. becomes an unwilling consort to an archdevil who rules the wastelands after Player-Caused Apocalypse.

red hag who used a wish spell to free herself of pacts of loyalty but as a consequence cannot form lasting relationships with any creature, and cannot wish again. trying to make a Deck of Many Things to get more wishes and fix this (doomed)

half-fey archer with the mantle of the summer court trying to avenge her parents killed by the winter court, warrior softened by the touch of a woman (autumn fey cottagecore mom friend with an aussie accent). they were fun because the party actually got really invested in them and they got to complete their love story :)

spellthief rogue champion of the gods caught in a messy 'the parents are fighting' situation where the aspects of law and chaos fight. she is going to make a return when i start my next campaign because it's going to be a time loop situation, and she'll be the one resetting the timeline and trying to make off-screen changes (killing monarchs, planting magic items) to affect the future.

[karniss-bg3]

Hi! I really like how thoughtfully you answer questions. I would like to know your opinion about the speed of Kar'niss. Is it possible to escape from the drider?) He climbed the tower quite easily, but how fast and hardy is he on the ground? As I remember, driders prefer ambushes. Does this mean that they are not too good at chasing? Or is it still useless to run from Kar'niss - it is just the way to die tired?) Thank you!

A great question! Let’s start by looking at Kar’niss’ stats.

He has fairly solid strength and dexterity. We know webbing doesn’t affect him in terms of rough terrain and he seems to maintain a solid pace alongside Tav and crew. His stats are the same as the drider monster sheet which helps in the regard of determining bonuses and the like. According to the drider sheet, they have a movement speed of 30ft and a climbing speed of 30ft. Kar’niss’ sheet says he has a movement speed of 0ft but I think this is a typo as he can clearly walk on the ground without trouble. The monster sheet says driders can walk on ceilings while the drider wiki says they are too heavy to do so. If I had to pick I’d say that it’d be unlikely they could traverse upside down because of their size.

Speaking of size, this is where Kar’niss would run at a disadvantage. He weighs 150kg (330lbs) and that is a lot of heft to move around, much less quickly. It is likely why driders prefer to ambush which falls in line with their spider counterparts. Running takes a lot of energy, it’s simply more efficient to let your prey come to you. That isn’t to say that Kar’niss couldn’t catch up if he really wanted to. I imagine he could sprint a short distance at a great speed but would tire swiftly there after. The terrain would also play a big part in how fast he could catch up to someone. If he was moving through a thick forest with a lot of obstacles he’d have trouble squeezing into tight spaces or navigating his large body around sharp turns. His legs do afford him longer strides to cover more ground at a faster pace and he can climb which may allow him to avoid something a regular humanoid couldn’t bypass. A clear field would be a dangerous ground to face him on as he’d have less things to get in his way if he was after someone.

Distance between an individual and himself would play a part as well. If he’s within fifteen to twenty feet of his target, he has the greatest chance to overpower and capture them without much trouble. Forty or more feet away would give the victim the best chance of escape. They can only hope that he tires out before he closes the distance, or they hide in a place he can’t access. Finding a way to disable his legs is also the way to go in an escape situation. Something like grease could do well to trip him up, some sort of bola or other restraints, an arrow in one of the joints, ect. His drow torso wouldn’t be strong enough to drag his body with any measure of speed so if he goes down it’s game over.

The last thing to consider is if he can jump and if so, how far. Just looking at his design his legs don’t look very muscular at all and in fact seem more hollow than anything else. He might be able to jump short distances but I’d say it’s not his strong suit and would require a great deal of his strength to pull off. Wide crevices and the like would hold off his direct pursuit but since he can climb he could get to the other side eventually, it’d just take longer than jumping over the opening. Edit: Turns out, Kar'niss has mad hops. Thanks to the helpful folks who gave me some awesome info! Terrifying to imagine a whole ass drider jumping right at you.

In conclusion, I think Kar’niss can be a deadly force on the ground but he’s at his best when ambushing or climbing. If it’s a straight chase where the victim isn’t surprised they would still have a fighting chance, they’d just have to be smart on how they used their surroundings to shake him. I do know one thing, much and all as I love Kar’niss, I’d piss my pants if a drider ever chased me. Not a scenario I’d ever want to find myself in. Thanks for the ask!

halloo this is my blog for undertale-flavored skeletons. i like AUs a whole lot and have about 538 different versions of papyrus. dealing with fucking giga-burnout at the moment so things aren't super active but i sure am here

i do not currently post my art anywhere except for tumblr. as long as you ask for permission and credit me in your bio/pinned post i don't mind my art being used for profile pictures or banners, but otherwise i do not give permission for my art to be reposted or used anywhere, for anything else. if you see my art reposted i would strongly appreciate it if you asked the poster to take it down and/or let me know so that i can ask them myself if needed. *this doesn't apply to reblogs, obviously.

i'm not gonna list out a whole DNI but i am gonna ask that proshippers & other folks who typically align with that crowd, please leave me alone. yall have not been kind to me in the past and i don't tolerate it anymore. it's a pain in the ass to block people from a sideblog & tumblr staff seems extremely uninterested in making that easier at any point so literally all i'm asking is for you to Please stay out of my space as much as I stay out of yours. thanks.

other blogs/commonly used tags/other semi-relevant links under the cut. click read more if you wanna make the post reeaallly looonggg

@spingtail

^ main blog, pretty much just reblogs. i yap in the tags a lot

💥bonetrousledbones

^ literally just a link to the desktop theme for this blog that you're already looking at because i like it a lot and not enough people are ever gonna get to see it

but i paid $10 for it so You're Gonna See It

💥btw if you scroll down the sidebar and click on the tab titled "navigation" you can read everything on this post in a significantly less horrible format

@ask-the-bone-boys

^ my ask blog. currently inactive because of The Burnout but it's the thing i've worked on for 7 years now & what almost all the various AUs i talk about here are for.

when i talk about "atbb" this is what that is

basically imagine if underverse was papyrus and also that papyrus had something so very deeply wrong with him to the point that even other fucked up AUs are kinda weirded out. yeah sure that's the summary i'm gonna run with

I'm done working on the ask blog format (outside of the current ARG-flavored event I've had to pause) but eventually I'll be rewriting it into a fic series instead

here's the series on ao3 so far. it has 8 works, mostly oneshots for now but there's a few multichapters in there too. i consider them all prologues for the "main" story which is what i'll be rewriting

also here's just a bigass infodump about it too lol idk

@mothbbones

^ blog for non-undertale art. relatively inactive because undertale is basically all i draw but it has some ocs & sonic fanart on it

if you're interested in my 18+ secret blog, send me an ask OFF ANON so that i can confirm you're an adult and i'll give you the url. mostly papcest shipping thoughts, 18+ headcanons/character analysis, art once in a blue moon, and other things i just don't feel like talking about over here. occasionally spammy & very very disorganized compared to this blog lmao

common tags (excluding fandom/AU tags)

#trousled rambles <- basic text posts #trousled arts <- basically all of my art (wips are usually untagged) #trousled dumb <- stupid shit idk #trousled reblogs <- reblogs. believe it or not #awesome art that i adore <- fanart/gifts for me #skeletal speculations <- theories & analysis

#atbb <- for posts about the ask blog NOT gonna list out each atbb character tag one by one since this is already long enough, just look at the tags for this post here- it has all of them & the post itself also (kinda) says who's who

ok thats it as compensation if you read this far you can look at this weird fucking dog i found
