Deny your budding bromance all you want Chibodee.

[thedragonchilde]

That moment where you want to share an au headcanon with someone but you're afraid that despite liking the same piece of media and the same ship they might still hate the au headcanon.

[thedragonchilde]

@disasterbijupiter not sure if the replies are working, so. It's always good to know I'm not alone! XD I have more ship memes, some art, and a fic - you'll want my "Royal Flush" tag! And heck yeah for the matching headcanon xD

Ship meme spam, sexy edition

1. What was their first kiss like?

Lots of pent-up passion here, folks; rough and needy and maybe a little bloody

2. Where were they the first time having sex?

To be determined, though it takes a little bit to even get to this point. (Who has fewer neighbors?)

3. Who's louder?

OH MY GOD BOTH OF THEM

4. Who wakes up first?

Domon is up with the sun

5. Favorite form of foreplay?

Flirty sparring

6. Who performs/receives oral more often?

...that’s a good question. It probably evens out down the line, but at first Domon probably gets blown more often

7. What kink they most often use?

Sensation play casts a pretty wide net

8. Who more often tries new things?

Chibodee’s more often the one with the ideas (though sometimes these things just happen)

9. If they had to include a third person who would it be?

Yeah okay, you think they'd slow down enough for a third?

10. Favorite toy?

You know, the nice thing about dating a trans guy, if you’re in the mood to get dicked down, you can pick the dick

11. How careful are they about using protection?

I'd say a hysterectomy is pretty thorough protection for some things, and monogamy covers the rest

12. General feelings on sex in the relationship

Very intense and a little spiritual actually (‘communicating with your fists’ extends to other physicality, not to mention the Shuffle Alliance empathy)

13. Sexuality?

Chibodee’s bi as fuck. Domon is uhhh new to this, give him time

14. Position Preferences?

Definitely not a static thing, tbh, though I guess face to face makes things more intense

15. Kinks?

Aside from the aforementioned? Edging and overstimulation are pretty up there, and it's pretty common for them to not even get fully undressed

16. Dirty little secrets?

Maybe how they handled long-distance, ahem

17. Best time ever?

Maybe the time they first discovered overstimulation (and, uh, in related news, that on good days Chibodee is capable of multiple orgasms)

18. Worst time ever?

You ever get a concussion from sex?

19. One thing they’ve never told?

Chibodee has never given anyone a straight answer about any previous experience and probably never will

20. Most exotic place they’ve done it at?

I'm sure there's better/worse, but what I can tell you is that Chibodee's dressing room has absolutely seen a few quickies

21. Number of sexual partners?

That entirely depends on how far Domon got with Rain. And as aforementioned, nobody knows whether Chibodee is a slut or a virgin or what, and he's not telling.

22. What they do after sex?

Honestly, that’s a workout, they’re fuckin starving

23. Stamina?

You’d better believe it (something something twelve rounds joke)

24. What gets them in the mood?

You know, it doesn't take much

25. What is their mood-killer?

Oh my god do you know how hard it is to get uninterrupted alone time sometimes, seriously, some days it's like people/calls/the universe time things exactly to derail the mood

26. Most sensitive spot?

Ass and spine for Domon, jaw and hips for Chibodee, and honestly lips are a very good bet for both of them. (For a different kind of sensitive, so to speak, go for hands.)

27. One thing your partner should never do?

Okay look, being competitive is one thing, but cross the line into humiliation and there will be issues

28. Threesome or an orgy?

Say what now? Look, I don't know what you've heard about Chibodee's relationship with the gals, but that is a great big not-on-your-life

29. How adventurous are they?

Define adventurous? ;)

30. If there was a safe-word, what would it be?

‘Matte’ (‘wait’, used as surrender in many martial arts) or ‘time out’; when words fail, they tap out

31. Going down or standing up?

Oh, they’ll go any which way, probably in the same session

32. Old-school or into experiments?

Experimenting sounds more hands-on

33. Masturbate or seek for a helping hand?

Why would it have to be one or the other

34. One night stands; yay or nay?

That’s a weird question to ask about an established relationship

35. Foreplay or straight to business?

Depends on whether it’s a ‘test of endurance’ type of day ;) Although I can tell you that they waste absolutely no time after a boxing match - no sex for a fucking week before a match, honestly, what the hell kind of rule

36. One thing they’re dying to try?

Domon has, ah, given a fair amount of thought to doing it outside

37. In the morning or when night falls?

Hey, you never know when the mood will strike!

38. Roleplay? If so, what exactly?

You know, I don't think that's Domon's style. No way would he be able to stay in character

39. Props they’d like to use?

Domon’s headband?

[thedragonchilde]

Reblogging this for the 30thgundamfight challenge because "Nastasha frees Argo" is no contest my favorite scene @futurecentury

GG Thinky Thoughts: On Argo's Freedom

So, when I mentioned falling back in love with sci-fi anime of my childhood, I didn’t mean just Gundam Wing. I basically mean any of the mecha or space stuff that was on Toonami - Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, even Robotech. I’ve very recently come into the entire G Gundam box set, and was just enabled into creating a very related roleplay account, so I’ve gotten to thinking about this as well.

Firstly, my reaction to the scene in episode 47 when Nastasha deactivated Argo’s shackles and bomb was an unholy sort of vindicated squeal. Favorite ship actually canon? You betcha.

But apparently I interpreted her response differently than most people.

The line, at least in the dub, is “If it’s an issue, I’ll seriously consider joining you in becoming a pirate.”

In tandem with the rest of the scene - seeing that she’d gotten a hold of the transport ship and Argo’s entire pirate crew, and hearing the assurance in her voice - I’d read especially into the words ‘if’ and ‘consider.’ The way I thought it happened, she’d made an especially compelling case to the higher-ups, or pulled some strings, or bribed some people, or something - and that freeing him wasn’t going to be an issue.

But looking around what little fandom there is, or ever was, it looks like everyone else took that as, well, she actually did join his pirate crew.

Is there something I’ve missed that renders my interpretation totally wrong? xD

[thedragonchilde]

please say which in the tags!

[thedragonchilde]

"I will kill you," they promise quietly and genuinely, and it comes out like a love confession.

[thedragonchilde]

i love this little shit with my whole heart

[thedragonchilde]

ive gotten into this in another fic I wrote but we need to be making the trace system weirder. fighters getting strange out of body experience feelings from exiting their MF while still engaged in it, like they’re in two places at once, being able to feel things that happen to their MF while they’re not in it. the weird dysmorphia and mismatch that would come from piloting something like Mermaid or Walter that has weird limbs or is shaped like something non humanoid. fighters losing track of the space that their normal human body is taking up and like hitting their arms on things and getting bruised up when they’re out-of-trace because they’re used to being several stories tall and made of metal. the entire act of having to fight through the trace substance to put it on as an extension of the whole Fighting Communication thing—you have to battle with your MF for a moment to get connected to it. the inherent vulnerability of having to get nakey inside your big robot so you can go hit other guys with your fists. your ass IS out

[thedragonchilde]

name them. now.

[thedragonchilde]

If you guys were on here at 11 years old what would you be posting about

[thedragonchilde]

see 0 note flop posts aren't that bad when they're personal but 0 note fandom posts feel literally so bad. like if you don't wanna play toys with me anymore just say that. i'll pack up my super cool awesome things and go and i'll sit on the other side of the playground by myself and i won't even look at you. fuck

[thedragonchilde]

anyone else start getting shaky when someone gets into an interest of yours or is that just me

[thedragonchilde]

Addendum: The first half of 7 refers to Blow to the Heart, which I meant to link to, and which I've been thinking about adapting as either a podfic or a comic for anyone who might struggle with the writing style?

(The second half of that answer is still being written.;))

20 seems fairly in depth here already, but I've got some more good stuff to chew on with some of these dynamics!

Ship meme spam round one

1- Who is the most affectionate?

Please, Chibodee is the king of casual affection! It doesn't actually occur as easily to Domon, but he gets really into it, so it's all good.

2-Big spoon/Little spoon?

Chibodee is absolutely big spoon... unless he falls asleep first, then all bets are off

3-Most common argument?

Tough call. What's likely for them is brief heated arguments, but, like... the thing they're arguing about isn't the real problem. (So I guess technically these proxy arguments are really about communication, and the ways they both fail at it when upset - and things do improve once a blowout fight brings that into the open.)

4-Favorite non-sexual activity?

I feel like sparring is the obvious answer here

5-Who is most likely to carry the other?

I would pay actual money to see Domon pick up Chibodee. I'm sure he could, of course, but it's just a funny visual.

6-What is their favorite feature of their partner’s?

Assuming this means physical features, it's a tie on Chibodee's behalf - he pays particular attention to people's eyes, and Domon's dark fiery eyes are no exception... but Domon also has the perfect ass. On the flip side, Domon doesn't quite get why he would have to pick just one thing. Does ‘smile’ count as a feature?

7-What’s the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other?

Knowing he has no chance at that point, Chibodee busts his ass to make sure that nothing changes between them (the last thing he needs is Domon getting wise)... which works out okay until he blurts it out to the other Shuffles. So I suppose the first thing that changes is the rest of the gang (particularly George) having increasing awkward moments where they keep a suspiciously close eye out for any rise in tension between the two.

When Domon finally realizes his feelings down the line, he actually comes out with it fairly quickly - but not before some uncharacteristic fumbling, a not-incorrect accusation that Chibodee is hiding something from him, and a very loaded sparring session.

8-Nicknames? & if so, how did they originate?

Nothing really in the way of affectionate pet names, not that Chibodee didn't try

9-Who worries the most?

I have to give it to broody Domon. If Chibodee does, he usually tries to play it off.

10-Who remembers what the other one always orders at a restaurant?

Chibodee, but mostly because Domon has predictable taste

11-Who tops?

You speak as though that wouldn't be competitive

12-Who initiates kisses?

At first, definitely Chibodee, though he's got to be careful about it, because the whole thing is still shaky territory for Domon and steamrolling him isn't going to help. Eventually, it evens out a little more (and Domon can be surprisingly thoughtful about it)

13-Who reaches for the other’s hand first?

Whoever needs it. Encouragement via hand-holding is one stripe of affection that comes very naturally for them.

14-Who kisses the hardest?

I mean, they both have a lot of pent-up passion

15-Who wakes up first?

Domon. Old habits die hard.

16-Who wants to stay in bed just a little longer?

Chibodee's a fairly early riser himself (when he's not hung over), but lord help you if you get him up before he's good and ready

17-Who says I love you first?

...I'll be honest, I'm still working this one out, especially if the L word isn't dropped in the initial confession

18-Who leaves little notes in the other’s one lunch? (Bonus: what does it usually say?)

I'm honestly not sure I see this happening??

19-Who tells their family/friends about their relationship first?

Once it actually happens? I don't think Domon is capable of not telling people

20-What do their family/friends think of their relationship?

Dr Kasshu is terribly confused. Rain has some complicated thoughts, but is overall happy for Domon, and honestly a little relieved. Allenby idly wonders if that (Domon being into guys) is why she never really stood a chance. Argo cautiously approves. Sai has a lot to process. George laughs and asks Chibodee how he managed that miracle. The gals are pleasantly shocked, and $10 says at least one of them feels the need to give Domon the obligatory protective sister speech. (If this is a timeline where Kyoji and/or Schwarz is around, he/they had a feeling it would go this way.)

21-Who is more likely to start dancing with the other?

I'm not sure I see this happening either

22-Who cooks more/who is better at cooking?

Why do I get the feeling Domon might actually have picked up some skills in the wilderness? Nothing fancy, but.

23-Who comes up with cheesy pick up lines?

Chibodee, no question

24-Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear during inappropriate times?

Chibodee is the easy answer here too, though there's a good chance that anything he says will take a few seconds to click for Domon, if it doesn't sail over his head entirely. If Domon were to do this, however, he'd be more effective, mostly by virtue of sheer bluntness.

25-Who needs more assurance?

Oh lord, in their own ways, both of them! The trouble is that, in their own ways, they both aren't great at seeking it out (Domon gets snippy and withdraws, Chibodee pulls the old "eyyy lmao I am totally OK no need to worry"), so it comes down to the other learning those cues

26-What would be their theme song?

...so I kind of have a playlist? https://open.spotify.com/user/thedragonchilde/playlist/7mT3I57SvEMps9Gz5AJl7O?si=1Je5GtALTpejsoA9ELWBLg

27-Who would sing to their child back to sleep?

Chibodee, no contest. He'd pass on his mom's lullaby.

28-What do they do when they’re away from each other?

Given that we're dealing with a fairly substantially long-distance relationship at first? Business as usual, though training has been known to get rougher when the stress of separation is particularly high

[thedragonchilde]

An addendum to 28 is that I would actually have to ponder how Kyoji and Chibodee would get along. I am working on a thing where they butt heads a bit, but that... comes with some context.

Ship meme spam continued

1. Who most initiates PDA?

If the moment is otherwise right, Domon is likely to go for it with little notice or regard for things like being in public! (Don't get me wrong, he can get flustered, especially in the beginning, but "is this a socially appropriate time and place" does not factor into it for him.)

2. Any sleep habits either had to get used to?

Aside from Domon waking up at the crack of dawn out of habit?

3. Hot and Steamy or Soft and Tender?

You might assume exclusively the former, and you'd be surprised

4. How did they first meet?

With a goddamn sucker punch, that's how

5. What is their love language?

They're both pretty heavy on physical touch, as one might guess. Chibodee also responds shockingly well to words of affirmation

6. When did they realize they loved each other?

In retrospect, Chibodee will cop to having had a crush since Guyana, though the gals will tell you he was fixated from the first match. But in love? That came with a heartsick sort of gut punch as he found himself hoping that Domon and Rain worked things out even though it hurt to watch, because seeing Domon so upset over her hurt so much worse. Very bittersweet "I want my beloved to be happy".

Domon realizes much later, and more or less all at once. It's a small moment that sets it off, but one that gives him the fleeting thought "I'd be happy to have someone like this by my side", which turns into "...I already do, right here" → "not in that way" → "maybe in that way??" From there the epiphany hits like lightning and he almost can't process it.

7. Who is more sentimental?

Might have to give this to Domon "Manly Tears" Kasshu

8. What’s one way their personalities complement one another?

Okay so "complement" implies not similar traits, but rather different traits that fit together. In that case, I'd say the way their attitudes are sort of the inverse of each other: Domon is serious and melancholy, but deep down is trusting and wants to believe the best of people, where Chibodee keeps things light and devil-may-care, but he's a little more world-weary, a little more easily discouraged. In that way they work as a grounding balance for each other.

9. How are their personalities different?

I mean, Domon's kind of an introvert, isn't he? Or at least easily overstimulated by the pressures of socializing. Whereas in the other corner we've got Chibodee "Social Butterfly" Crockett who almost seems uneasy when alone for very long. There's also an understated city mouse/country mouse thing going on.

10. What are some non-sexual activities they do together?

The obvious would be sparring and other sports, but also like… sometimes they just chat. Chibodee's a talker anyway, Domon is still relearning how to socialize with peers, and there are some cool experiences to share between them.

On that note, hiking. If Domon hadn't already been into nature, he sure is now.

11. Which member is more physically affectionate?

Chibodee moreso at first, and even then not a whole lot because Domon starts out awkward and tsundere. Once he's more comfortable, they're pretty evenly matched! (Mind you, this does depend on the type of physical affection. Hugs and hand-holding come more naturally, where kisses are more loaded even when they're less physical contact.)

12. Which member is more verbally affectionate?

Chibodee's a talker, and this is no exception, but dare I say Domon goes for quality over quantity ;)

13. Which member steals borrows the other one's clothing?

Not sure about actually wearing each other's stuff, but I can see a potentially mutual "our stuff got mixed up and I have your x so I'm just gonna,,, hang onto it while we're apart"

14. Are they an introverted couple or an extroverted one—AKA would they prefer to go out to a party or event together or would they rather stay in?

Oh my god Domon would ninja-disappear from a party so fast

15. Who is more likely to make an impulsive decision and who is the voice of reason?

They both have their moments, and "voice of reason" is overstating things, but goddamn if Chibodee doesn't go off half-cocked sometimes

16. Who stays up way too late and who tries to drag them to bed?

No dragging here; Domon just shrugs and goes "You're gonna regret it"

17. Who fell in love first?

…bruh.

18. What song fits them perfectly?

Song? I've got a whole playlist!

19. How do they deal with being away from each other for a long time?

There's plenty to keep them busy, but they can certainly go harder (maybe too hard) on the training to blow off stress. Of course they do what they can to keep in contact, and uhhhh they do attempt video/cybersex. It's a hot mess. Honestly, someone should capitalize on the precepts of the Mobile Trace system to enable long-distance physical contact, it would be revolutionary.

20. Who holds a grudge the longest?

Domon is never living down the way they met, just saying.

21. Which of the two is quick to speak and which one is quick to listen?

They both have to work on listening, or specifically when to listen. Given that they both have a bad habit of shutting themselves down when they should be reaching out, the opening is not always obvious.

22. Who gets more easily embarrassed?

Tricky, but probably Chibodee, being a little more conscious of his image. He's certainly the one who reacts more strongly to embarrassment, anyway.

23. Who overthinks the most?

They both vacillate between "overthink/don't think at all" at times, but this one goes to broody Domon by a long shot

24. Which of the two is the most competitive?

Not only are they both competitive, they actively bring that side out in each other!

25. Who’s the most stubborn?

Oh, now this one's hard!

26. How do they comfort each other?

This is one of those instances where physical touch is very important, just tangibly knowing they're not alone. Letting the other vent (whether physically or verbally) too. Encouraging words are usually called for, even if they're clumsy.

27. What random everyday object/activity makes them think of each other?

Sunrise is definitely associated with Domon. Hearts too. Chibodee is stars and neon lights and bourbon.

28. Do they get along with each other’s friends and family?

Well, I mean, they share a friend group! As far as family, Chibodee is trying his damnedest to get Dr Kasshu to like him, and Domon… well, the gals already know him, but that doesn't mean they won't give him the shovel talk all the same.

29. What is their sex life like?

As I've said before, very intense and a little spiritual, thanks in part to Shuffle Alliance empathy, and “communicating with your fists” translating to other physicality. Their sessions tend to be loud and long (not to say that there are never wham-bam rounds), and you'd be forgiven for finding them half-dressed and out of breath and not knowing whether they'd just banged or sparred.

30. What is their favorite place to kiss the other? (Cheek, hand, closed eyelid, neck, nose, etc.)

Chibodee absolutely kisses Domon's scars, just putting that out there right now. On the other side, don't think Domon hasn't realized the reaction he gets when he goes for the jaw

31. What’s the relationship like? Smooth? Rocky?

You're not gonna get the smoothest sailing with such a high-energy dynamic, but even when it's hard they're ride or die

32. How do they resolve their arguments?

By separating and cooling off, for starters. It really depends on how serious the argument.

33. Who has the most nightmares and how do they deal with them?

They're both prone, I think, though as Chibodee's been getting them most of his life he's more or less prepared when Domon wakes up screaming - hands off until the fight-or-flight wears off, then grounding touch, low voice, cold water, and let him cry it out.

34. Do they give each other nicknames?

Well, 'King of Hearts' could certainly take on a flirty tone–

35. What movies do they enjoy watching most?

Here's where I make the joke about how their son gets his name from the Rocky movies

36. How’d they meet each other’s families?

I mean, that's basically in canon
