Yayyyy, asks are open! So anyways, I remember in the favorite villain request that Jafar mentioned about helping Reader with unsavory guests, can we get a scenario of Reader dealing with those kinds of guests? You can use any villains you’d like lol

Losers, Creeps, and Weirdos

TW: Creepy park guest being gross!

It was a good day. Pleasant temperatures, manageable crowds, and full staff. (Y/N) thought that it’d be one of those rare occasions where they’d be able to go home early.

Of course, the universe has a cruel sense of humor.

It was halfway through (Y/N)’s shift, and they’d been scheduled to walk around Magic Kingdom, helping guests with directions and keeping a general eye on things. And from afar everything seemed normal, a couple Disney characters walking around and interacting with guests, but (Y/N) noticed after a while that a lone male park guest was constantly trailing behind Princess Aurora.

(Y/N) tried to brush it off at first, thinking that the guy was a little socially inept, just wanting an autograph. But the way the man was just… looking at the increasingly uncomfortable princess made (Y/N) feel nauseated. It was when the man got Aurora near a park bench somewhat out of sight that (Y/N) began to speed walk towards the two. (Y/N) got there right when the man began to reach his hand out towards the girl, Aurora looking near to tears.

(Y/N) immediately got between the two, making sure Princess Aurora was out of sight behind them as the man looked shocked. And that was the moment the scene began.

“I’m telling you now, man. If you don’t back off right now I’m going to call park security. I swear to god I’ll do it.”

“Are you serious right now!? It’s just a park attraction, your acting like it’s a real person!”

The man was incessant, unable to just walk away. His face was red and (Y/N) was slowly reaching towards their walkie talkie, ready to call security.

“I’m not going to stay here and teach you the basics of human decency, she is a 16 year old girl. Either you leave yourself or by force.” (Y/N) remained stone-faced, arms still protecting Aurora behind them, who was now clinging to their tennis shirt.

“Wha- do you know how expensive it is to get into here!? JUST LET ME-“ He started to move towards (Y/N), about to grab them when a slender hand stopped him.

“-excuse yourself from the premises and never return.. Yes, I do believe that’s the best course of action.”

(Y/N) and Aurora turned towards Jafar, who had his scepter raised and the man’s hand in a vice like grip. The cobra scepter gleamed red as the man’s face went slack, eyes becoming a cloudy red.

“yeah… i should… i should leave…” the man slurred, Jafar letting go of the unnamed guests hand as he began to walk away, his movement’s unnaturally stiff, only for Jafar to grasp the man’s shoulders again, his face twisted in disgust.

“Oh, and while you’re at it, why don’t you take a quick dip in the lake? I’m sure Medusas crocodiles would… appreciate the company.” He crooned as he lightly shoved the man away, for good this time.

The group watched as the man lumbered off, disappearing into the crowd. After a beat of silence Jafar turned around to the shocked (Y/N) and Princess Aurora.

“And I think that we should report this to management, don’t you think (Y/N)?”

(Y/N) straightened out a bit, nodding in agreement, “Yeah… let’s go”

————————————————————————

Upper management was naturally disturbed at the days events, taking aside everyone to get their own accounts of the story. After a report was filed, and both park security and police set off to find the man, the group was dismissed.

Princess Aurora was taken off the schedule for the next few days, and a one of (Y/N)’s colleagues was called to chaperone the princess back to where all the “Good Guys” resided. But not before giving a tearful ‘thank you’ and a quick peck on (Y/N)’s cheek as gratitude. Princess Aurora, bless her heart, even gave Jafar a timid yet heartfelt thanks, before departing with the park attendant. (Y/N) and Jafar now alone in the empty workroom.

….

“I can’t believe it…What you did today was..nice.” (Y/N) looked up at Jafar in awe, a crooked smile stretching across their face.

Jafar shuddered, waving his hand in dismissal, “Oh please, you know better. I was simply going about by business when I saw that… altercation. I couldn’t have such troglodyte ruin a peaceful day for me. You know as well as I do that the only ones that can bother you are us.”

“I know, but you could’ve found another park staff to help, instead you went out of your way to help us. Thank you.” (Y/N) chuckled, laughing even more at Jafar’s disgusted expression.

“Yes, yes, I’m amazing. Just don’t go blabbering about this to the others, Allah knows what’s going to happen to my reputation when that princess inevitably tells her little friends about today’s events. Ugh- I’m never going to live down..” He muttered under his breath, rubbing the space between his eyes.

(Y/N) hummed, dusting themselves off as they began to leave,

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell a soul. I owe you one, Jafar— oh!”

Before Jafar could react, (Y/N) spun around- reached up and kissed the ex-viziers cheek,

“-As an extension of my gratitude. See ya!” They whispered, before quickly pulling back and rushing out of the room, leaving the flustered sorcerer behind, gently touching his cheek.

“Hmm… mabye it wouldn’t hurt to help them more often…”

————————————————————————

Hope you enjoyed! I hope I wrote Jafar not too OOC 😅 It’s a shame that a lot of people forget that virtually all the Disney Princesses are children, the amount of mature content I’ve seen of them is super uncomfortable.

Oh, and the other Villians totally caught wind of what Jafar did, now they’re all ragging on him.

Medusa! Reader and Shang Tsung: Story Mode Part 4

Spoiler Warning: Proceed with Caution

Although you didn't want to leave Baraka behind, and neither did the latter want you going inside without him, Kenshi assured you both that it wouldn't be long and he'd signal if anything went wrong. So, after more reassurances to one another, you led Kenshi, Kung Lao, and Johnny through a seldomly used back entrance into the laboratory.

When the trio eavesdrops on Shang Tsung explaining the changes he made to the serum for Mileena, they are too focused on the Sorcerer and the Princess to notice how your body language has softened and melancholic. You were so focused on how you hadn't seen Outworld's heir for a while or whether or not to speak of your affliction with her that you almost missed Kung Lao whispering about how Shang Tsung was infecting Mileena with Tarkat.

You try to whisper no, that's not the case. Unfortunately, the trio was already set on the "truth," so much so that they revealed themselves from their hiding place to confront the Sorcerer, along with Tanya and Rain, both you're also familiar with.

A glance at the unconscious Mileena in her chair was all the motivation you needed to tackle Johnny Cage to the ground. The man gave a shout in surprise. You pin him down, asking what the hell has gotten into you. You yell at Cage for him and his compatriots, being idiotic to assume they know everything. Johnny shouted at you to get off him as tried to shake you loose, even going as far as to go for your mask. He nearly rips the thing off but gets a glance at your scales and a few of your hissing snakes underneath. Johnny could only mutter a "What in the f-", before chopping him in the throat with your hand.

At the sound of a glass breaking, you glance to your side to find the syringe Shang was holding earlier shattered on the ground. Abandoning your tussle with Cage, you follow the Sorcerer to his work table to help make another serum for Mileena. Shang shouts for Rain to let you pass since the latter doesn't recognize you with the mask on. He complies, and you get to work with Shang.

You asked him to instruct you on what to do since you picked up earlier that he altered the serum. Shang quickly instructs you to gather a few herbs from your cabinet, which he completely rearranged, much to your annoyance. You two got work in crushing, mixing, and distilling, working eerily well in sync as if you were both a perfect machine.

"I have dearly missed working with you like this,"

"Stuff it, Shang."

You don't stop from working despite Kenshi threatening both you and Shang. You're finally physically stopped when Kenshi holds his blade to your throat while you are in mid-mixing. In the background, Johnny warns Kenshi about the snakes under your hood. As if to prove him right, you let out a hiss before allowing more snakes under your hood to slither in a threat display. Shang Tsung deeply scowls at Kenshi for threatening you and preventing both of you from working.

Kenshi asked why you're working with the man you made no secret of despising. Shang Tsung quickly explains that you are his lab partner, although you quickly add that you WERE his partner until he turned you into a twisted creature. The Sorcerer ignores you as he explains he's not trying to infect Mileena but to protect her, so you also put your hate to the side for the moment. Still skeptical, Kenshi dismisses Shang's words and has Johnny and Kung Lao watch you both. Shang did nothing to hide his contempt for the two while you continued hissing with your snakes still writhing from your hood.

You stopped hissing when you heard Mileena struggling in her chair, screaming in pain from the transformation brought on by Tarkat. You scream her name, heartbreaking as you watch the girl you've known since her birth unnaturally flare open her mouth to show the grotesque mess of pointed teeth. You scold both Kung Lao and Johnny for not fucking listening to you before getting to work to desperately prepare her needed serum. You made sure to add some sedatives to instantly knock her out.

You gasped in horror when Mileena impaled Kenshi in the eyes with her sais right before Shang Tsung injected her with the serum. You work swiftly to summon some water to rinse the blood from Kenshi's face just as Princess Katana enters the scene. Along with General Shao. A man who is not exactly fond of you and vice versa.

When General Goro knocked out both Johnny and Kung Lao and then had his guards drag them and Kenshi away, you stood up to tell Kitana that this was a misunderstanding and Shang's suspicious activities. However, Shao shouts over you with his booming voice, commanding you to be silent. He will not believe a word from someone who deserted their post, especially one who was supposed to treat Outworld's heir and the Royal House. Shao always had a way of getting under your skin, so you didn't hesitate to get in his face, snakes out, and seconds away from tearing into his hideous face. You tell him that if his brain was as big as his mouth, then maybe he'd actually have a shred of intelligence in that thick skull of his.

General Shao reaches for the large knife on his side when you reach a hand to take your mask off before Shang steps in between you two and barely misses getting bit by one of your snakes. He pulls you back before whispering in your ear.

He offers you another ultimatum to either concur with the lie he came up with on the spot or finally learn what's been in the lower levels of the lab the entire time and share the Earthrealmer's fate.

You hiss at Shang Tsung and rip your mask off, but Shang closes his eyes in time as General Shao reacts within a second to knock you back to the stone floor with the butt of his knife. You heard Kitana gasp from where you lay.

"By the Gods, What has happened to you???"

General Shao snaps his fingers, and the rest of his soldiers quickly hold you down as they both blindfold you and gag your mouth, one suffering a deep bite through his gloves. You hear more than see the soldier collapse to the ground, metal scraping against solid stone as he spasms uncontrollably while vomiting blood and bile. He takes one last shaky breath before collapsing on the floor, dead.

You try to shout at Kitana, who you know is wearing a face of horror and disbelief, that you didn't mean to do that. Yet, it was for naught as Shao commands his soldiers to take you with the Earthrealmers since you are just as much a threat as them. Again, you writhe against your captors, blind and silent, as you're dragged into the lower level of the laboratory. You try to scream, one last time, that Kitana is being deceived by the snake in her mother's court. Yet, it all fell on deaf ears.

The last thing you hear before you're dragged down the stairs is Shang Tsung.

"I truly regret it has come to this, my sweet."

You felt a weight sink in your stomach.

141 x (Platonic) Captain Reader Short - shower

Y/n knew there was a women's shower, but y/n always took a shower with her old team. Even though they were all men besides Medusa. Y/n men knew to keep their eyes up. Let's see how the 141 react!

Y/n was naked crouching down to see if the tile floor was clean, Private Rodriguez was put on cleaning duty because lack of respect for superior officers.

Y/n wasn't in view because of a small wall.

Each shower had one, the wall was about to y/n hip. The door creaks open, y/n could hear each member of the 141 except Ghost.

"How about that pub", Soap said, "no Soap, I am not letting you ever pick a pub again".

Price said, "come on, Price", "Price tried to ask for an old fashion (Whiskey, sugar, bitters, and an orange peel that looks like bunny ears) and they didn't even know what it was". Y/n smiles and whispers "Kyle", they all turn on the showers, all moaning and groaning on how the water feels.

Y/n then hears foot steeps coming so you stand up and turn around.

Y/n sees a man with blond hair, he has a couple of gnarly scars on his face. He was also tall, 6'4 y/n thought. The man looks shocked, he then starts looking down "HEY, EYES UP HERE", he looks away.

Price and Soap turn, "MUG" (an idiot), Price puts a hand over his eyes, "CAPTAIN Y/N IS AFF HER NUT (head), PURE SKYROCKET (Scottish slang - A particularly crazy person) LASSIE (young woman). Y/n looks at Price then at Soap, Kyle is still showering. Soap quickly looks at Kyle "I thought Dae ye think Ah came up with Clyde on a banana boat (an expression of disbelief when told a tall tale story.

Kyle stops washing his body and looks at Soap "I told you, y/n use to shower with the team. Everyone knew to keep their eyes up". Kyle looks at you and nods then begins showering again.

The guy with blonde hair still was in the same spot.

Y/n looks at him for a bit, but he doesn't look at you. Y/n moves a spot over, you turn on the shower and begin washing up. "Kyle still got a wee (little) Willy (penis)", Price and Soap begin laughing.

"Nutter", y/n turns your head to look at Kyle, he smiles at you, y/n begins laughing.

You turn around and finish up, y/n grabs the towel on the little wall. Y/n dries off and you put the towel on y/n shoulder, then y/n walks over to the wall at the end of the shower.

Y/n passes the tall blond guy, y/n bends down and picks up your clothes that lay on a towel. Y/n puts your towel on the wall beside you. Y/n then gets dressed quickly; y/n leaves the towel on the floor. Y/n grabs the towel from the wall, y/n begins twisting it.

Y/n walks quickly to Kyle, y/n smacks Kyle with the towel.

A loud slap goes through the quiet room, Kyle yelps, he turns around quickly but y/n was already at the door beginning to open it. Y/n turns around and whistles, everyone looks at y/n, even the tall blonde looks at you.

"Ghost, a Peng (someone that is attractive) you are indeed".

Y/n then walks out, you close the door behind you. Price, Soap and Gaz look at Ghost. Simon looks away quickly, Ghost goes back to showering.

"FACE LIKE A SKELPED ERSE (face like a slapped ass: Describes a person's face that's red with anger or blushing). Ghost turns his head a bit, "English, Mctavish", "you're blushing", everyone begins chuckling, Ghost face begins to redden like a tomato.

I don't think Greek Mythology retellings/adaptions/inspired/etc. are necessarily "evil"...but I DO think people REALLY need to understand that there's a huge difference between the actual mythology and certain media.

I feel like people have to basically do a "Fandom ___" to say the different versions. Like "PJO ___", "Hades game ___", "TSOA ___". For it to be understood that these depictions are DIFFERENT. I'm saying this as someone who grew up reading PJO and still has a soft spot for it. But as someone who really loves Greek Mythology as well, I sometimes get really SAD.

I'm going to use the comparison of Howl's Moving Castle with it's Book Vs. Movie. I enjoy both!!! But they are honestly very different. In the movie there is no "sister swap", Markle isn't a young teenager, Sophie doesn't throw weed killer at Howl, and many more moments. But I enjoy both because even though there are changes they still keep components that are ingrained into the characters!

In some Greek Myth retellings/adaptations/stories/etc., characters are...SO different from the source material. That's fine...Choose what you want with your story... But folks should know that the modern adaptations are NOT the source material!!!

It bothers me that a lot of these wonderful myths and stories are twisted up and seen so differently because of a modern version of them. You can have that character be "awful" or a certain way in your story. But I almost feel that as fans, it's not good to generalize them or see it as "This is the truth". People are hating the mythological figure when it's only in that interpretation they are like that.

In PJO, Ares is "Zeus' favorite", isn't a good dad, a misogynist, etc. The actual myths? One of his Epithets is LITERALLY "Feasted by Women", in the Iliad everybody basically bullies him with Zeus literally saying he hates him. He cries when he learns one of his sons is killed in the war. He literally kills someone about to rape his daughter. Ares isn't perfect but it makes me sad with how he's viewed and talked about when it's only in PJO he's like that. Same with Dionysus. Read the Bacchae, you'll love it.

In Lore Olympus, Apollo rapes Persephone (noticing the fact that modern takes on the myths add rapes where there never were hmmmmm) when he never did in any of the myths.

In TSOA, Thetis is cruel when in the Iliad, she is such a loving mother to Achilles. She grieved alongside her son over Patroclus. Also with Agamemnon. In Ipheginia at Aulis, Agamemnon is a MESS. He adored his children.

In Circe, Odysseus is viewed as a selfish man who ONLY hurts others and doesn't care about his family when that is LITERALLY his one consistent character trait. HE is actually the one who is the victim of rape. Circe was never raped.

Medusa is only a victim in Ovid's, a Roman man, works. Not in GREEK mythology. She was just a cool monster. Leave Perseus alone. Poseidon and Medusa actually had a consensual relationship in Greek Mythology!

These adaptations/retellings/inspired by/etc. whatever anybody wants to call them, are not the real myths! They may be similar in some ways but to just generalize them or hate the deity/mythological figure because of something they did in the new media feels fucked up!

You can enjoy these new stories. There's nothing wrong with that!!! But know they're not the real myths. Maybe even label it as "I hate ____'s version of ____". As that makes it clear what version you're talking about.

#I'm probably wording this very weird. I'm sorry for that haha #idk I'm getting sad #I'm clutching the gods and my special lil heroes to my chest to protect them from the hate.#this is silly but...idk had to say it :(#anti circe #anti madeline miller #sorry but that book makes me the sad™#greek mythology #tagamemnon #Mad rambles #shot by odysseus #PJO is special to me but I'm protecting the Gods >:( They can suck in PJO. to say the suck in the myths when you don't know the actual #myths is...sad #tw rape #<because so many adaptations ALSO add them when they're not there!!!!#save me morally gray circe #essay

Alright, I finally got my hands on this full ... presscon? cast reaction? Whatever.

I already shared some screenshots from this before (by some people on Twitter) and after finally watching the full version, I fell like I need to share the rest of the season 2 world building and character lores mentioned and discussed to you guys in here (and also major spoilers for season 3)

P.S. I could be wrong on some of the points here (either misinterpreting or not paying enough attention), so please correct me if I do in the reply section

youtube

Season 2

I'm still confused af on this line : "he killed his original body as well as his personality, eventually turning into the twisted monster that he is now". Like so, does it refer to Sang-won killing his original body in season 2 or is it about monster Sang-won killing the real Sang-won?

I still don't get this line too, so interpret it however you want : "The child covered in black?" "This is where what's remaining of Sang-won disappears, uncovering the child."

Chan-young was a baseball player. Ye-seul was one of the cheerleaders

Oh, apparently monsterization does still happened inside the stadium. That's why there's a regular daily checking. Anyone showing symptoms will be out in the isolation place (yeah that place where they put the sick mom in). Some lived, some died inside the isolation => might be why Chief Ji keeping her monster son secluded somewhere deep inside the stadium

Hyun-su cut Yi-kyung's daughter hair the same style as him, hence how they're being similar appearance wise

The live action crew is adapting Shotgun Boy into Netflix Sweet Home

Yi-kyung blames herself for how her child turned out to be with her monster-turning power

Yi-kyung's inability to give affection or even touched her child stems from the fact that monsters are created from human desires, so she didn't want her child to have desire (awfully familiar with a particular old man *side glance*)

Yep, you guessed it. These three (Hyun-su, Eun-yu, and Chan-young) are dense as fuck about their own feelings to each other (minus Hyun-su to Chan-young and vice versa ofc)

Yi-kyung's daughter views Hyun-su as her own family even more than her biological mother. Because they're similar and he's the only person she could hold hands with without her power reacting

Hyun-su uses red ribbons to mark the safe area for Eun-yu because color red stands out among the greenery of Seoul post time skip

The monster cocoons are shaped like a heart because monsterization manifests from human desires

The "real Jung Wui-myeong" is one of the scientists. Sang-won (or monster Sang-won depending how you interpret the earlier points) took his identity and used it as his own, probably to separate himself from his old human self

Lmao, not them calling Sang-won's family as family of evil and there's no good apple in it. That's so fucking foul

Sang-wook is still there somewhere (I already shared this one before)

Sang-won's original abilities include the Medusa touch he did to Hyun-su in episode 3

Oh wait, Yi-kyung survived?! I thought she died after her fight with Hyun-su (uh oh *nervous glance to every instance of me mentioning "her death" in replies*)

Monster Hyun-su act according to what Hyun-su thinks and desires (I had shared this one before)

Monster Hyun-su is more proactive and extrovert (is the extrovert part really necessary?")

Season 3 rough summary

Family drama : Nam Sang-won starts a bunch of trouble (this bitch) in order to create a world he dreams of. There are family reunions and conflicts between spouses. He also meets his child (uh oh). They fight for her custody. This custody case didn't need a court (fuck, oh come on 😂). Yi-kyung wouldn't just talk it out. She'd fight until one is dead

Sibling drama : Eun-yu will meet Eun-hyeok again, but I'm not sure it'll make her happy

Second male lead struggle : Chan-yeong faces even more hardships as the story progresses. But even then, he gives up a lot just to protect Eun-yu. He starts to understand the monsters more. There's a lot on his mind as the story goes on.

More monster Hyun-su : Hyun-su lets go of himself and lets out the monster. But the monster doesn't just do its thing. He reads Hyun-su's mind and acts as he wants.

Another Hyun-su and Yi-kyung interaction : And later on, he interacts with Yi-kyung as well. The emotion it brings also felt huge. In the narration, he tells Eun-yu how much pain Yi-kyung is in and that he has to stop it all himself. So I'm sure Hyun-su sparked a change in Yi-kyung's heart. That'll continue in Season 3.

#sweet home 2 #sweet home season 2 #sweet home netflix #sweet home #anyway the eng sub is available so no need to worry if you can't understand korean #i made this post and look back to my older posts and don't know what to do with it now (especially the musing and wondering ones)#cha hyun su #jung ui myeong #seo yi kyung #lee eun yu #park chan young #nam sang won #also gonna pin this just in case people see my older posts about sweet home 2

Why yes I do find myself becoming enthralled with multimedia stories primarily told through songs and sometimes manga and other ways with characters labeled numbers one to ten who are all so complicated and deep <3

Under the cut is spoilers/speculation for the Kagerou Project and trial one and trial two of the MILGRAM project! If you’re a fan of one of these I recommend checking the other two out! Also discussion of suicide topics and general dark content considering these tragic characters

Ok those up above are just paired by number (prison number and order of joining the mekkakushi dan) but here is how I’d pair them based on power/themes + explanations, maybe even if there was a crossover or au sort of thing. The ones with the blue squares are what I think definitely fit while the others I had to go back and forth on

prepare for a ton of yapping. Lol. Lmao.

Kido and Haruka: Abandonment and attention issues + the power to conceal yourself so you don’t get noticed is really interesting to me… Kido is more confident and blunt than Haruka, and yet, I do think they match up fairly well.

Seto and Mahiru: I was debating on giving Seto’s power to Yuno or even Es since it’s like. I don’t know people pleasing/the whole motif of trying to see inside of people’s minds but Mahiru having mind reading powers compels me, since she’s so empathetic. It would also make her indirect murder so much more messy since she would have likely tried to show her love more if she could viscerally sense her boyfriend struggling, but ough.

Kano and Kazui: now this. This fits like a glove. They’re all about lies and pain baybeee… Yobanashi Decieve is such a perfect Kazui song it’s not even funny. (Using the Will Stetson Eng Lyrics but like. Come on)

“Act normal and all of that, but my heart’s still rushing fast so easily”

“I bit the fruit (apple motif!!) and the snake burrowed inside of me”

“But that’s only right, cause I’m a monster in kind”

“Listen closely to this coward’s beating heart, a selfish face that’s seeped in pain, the only me that remains”

“Though I say I’m really lonely, nothing’s ever gonna change”

Mary and Amane : Okay this is a more of a hear me out but hear me out. Both sheltered from the outside/real world, albeit for different reasons, Amane by her religious organization, Mary by her mom since she has Medusa blood. Petrification as a power would be helpful for amane in that murder and/or not getting hurt again, and/or punishing sinners. Also I think Amane would judge Mary since she’s all about stopping the natural cycle of death with all those timeloops

Muu and Momo: Simply they are both popular and that power of drawing eyes is so perfect for that. Less good for Muu once everyone turns on her but it still works.

Ene and Fuuta: This is so just because digital media like video games and twitter are so important to Fuuta like yes go into the computer buddy and cyberbully on another level. They also have similar outward prickliness <3

Shintaro and ES: this is really just about main characters and retaining eyes probably going to Es…? Wasn’t too sure of this one myself tbh

Hibiya and Mikoto (and John): Ok Focusing eyes I couldn’t really think of anyone since it’s very niche but ehh..? Graphic artist??? I do think a kagerou daze situation with Mikoto and John of John trying to save Mikoto in a death loop would fit them before the twist that oh no, sacrificing yourself just continues a different cycle…

Konoha and Kotoko: they can PUNCH. mostly did this one because kotoko would love to have the power to punch people to death and also. Well. Most inter-party kills. In konoha’s case due to possession but Kotoko would prob use hers for cold hard Justice

Hiyori and Shidou: ok this was Clearing Eyes since timeline shenanigans makes it so that Hiyori isn’t part of the group most loops. Maybe I should’ve put Kenjirou instead… well… welp. Shidou would go that far for his wife, that’s all I’ll say, and also the snake of knowledge fits him

Ayano and Yuno: Wasn’t sure about this one, since tbh Novel ES (the girl one) probably fits Ayano better, but Yuno having such a emotional power, able to express her feelings to another, while having everything she has going on could be interesting. Maybe Yuno matches Hiyori better I don’t know LOL Ayano is my favorite of the kagepro bunch though

Declan Rice (Arsenal) - Cupid and Psyche

Requested: yes

Prompt: meeting Declan at an art museum

Warnings: none

A casual Thursday in Paris for Y/n, the art student. When she decided to take a leap of faith and move to Paris, she didn't think it'd get her into such predicaments. Missing metros, causing arguments accidentally in street markets, meeting strange and exciting people. But this was life. It was going to happen to someone, it just so happened to be Y/n. Her parents implored her to stay close to home and study locally, but no. She had to go for her own sanity.

Now that leap of faith brings us to the louvre in Paris at half past two on a Thursday afternoon. She walked delicately and quietly around the famous museum with her headphones blocking out any sort of human distraction. The Mona Lisa; too busy. Medusa's raft; not as busy but it had been seen before. Her favourite piece was a marble sculpture, sculpted by Antonio Canova. It depicted Cupid reviving his lover Psyche with a kiss. Looking at it was tender, it was blissful. It made her believe in love and gave her hope that one day she would one day find someone that equally made her feel this way.

"I don't understand this at all." Y/n turned her head to the man beside her, looking up at the marble as if it were just another stone. "Then you've never experienced love." Y/n mumbled quietly, but not quietly enough. The stranger turned his head and his look of confusion stayed the same. "Excuse me?" He asked, his British accent clear and thick. "I said you've never experienced love. I like to think this depicts love in its physical form." She repeated. "And why is that?"

"Well, the story goes that Psyche-" She pauses and points to the woman. "Was so beautiful, that Venus herself felt threatened and decided to send Cupid to seek her revenge and to kill her." She explained. "And what about that screams love in its physical form?" The man asked even more bewildered than he once was before. "Well Cupid fell in love with Psyche and instead of killing her, he hid her away in his Palace to protect her. He then visited her each night and warned her to never look at him. Her sister however convinces her that Cupid must be a hideous monster so one night, while he is asleep,she looks at him and he leaves her for breaking their bond."

"Once again, I beg the question."

"Let me finish!" The man sighs and allows her to continue her story. "Distraught, she goes to Venus for help who sends her on quests to find her lover. For her last task, she has to go retrieve Propserina's beauty fron the underworld but opens it on the way back up and falls into a lifeless sleep. Cupid then finds her and returns the beauty to the box and kisses Psyche, granting her immortality so they could be married as equals." The man nodded and looked at the marble again, this time taking in the story and understanding the meaning differently. He appreciated it more and she could see that. "That's a beautiful story." Y/n nodded along and smiled as if she had seen the sculpture for the first time. She looked down as she caught a glimpse of a hand in front of her, before she turned and saw the man smiling at her. "I'm Declan, by the way." He said. Y/n took his hand and returned the smile. "Y/n."

"Lovely name. You from Paris?" He asked. "No. I'm guessing by the accent you aren't either?" She said. "What? I don't sound French?" He asked in a ridiculously stereotypical French accent, making the girl giggle. "What brings you to Paris?" Y/n asked after she calmed down from laughing. "Single. Very single." He replied. Y/n's eyebrows twisted into those of confusion. "And how is coming to Paris going to help you with that?" She asked. "Well, I figured the dating apps weren't working. May as well pretend to be confused in an art gallery."

"And how is that going for you?" She scoffed, folding her arms and looking up to him. "Not too bad, I reckon." He replied, making the once confident and sure woman now crumble and turn bright red. "Well it doesn't count if you don't intend on meeting someone later." Y/n said. "Good point." Declan whipped out his phone and handed it to her, with a new contact ready to be dialled in. Y/n grinned and took the phone, throwing her number in and handing it back. "So how about we finish off looking at the gallery and grabbing a coffee afterwards?" He suggested. "I think that's a marvellous idea, Declan." She smiled. Declan hooked his arm around hers and looked down to her. "Then let's go, madame."

The manga of soul eater really is just so dark and more fucked but also insanely weird everyone is just good and fine in the anime but the manga rlly is just like fuck it these kids have to fucking deal with bullshit now and lose their loved ones

The anime by virtue of ending before a lot of the later arcs doesn’t have some of the most dark moments but I think above all chapter 87 (just a simple story about killing people) should have been animated because Jesus Christ. Jesus Fucking Christ. I don’t think there’s anything in the entire series that can rival that chapter in terms of how drastic the tone shift is. Obligatory spoilers for ppl who haven’t read the manga after this picture from the chapter

It’s heavily implied that Medusa abused crona and shown to some extent but the way this chapter fully shows how many rabbits Medusa made them kill. How many different methods she made them use and how she starved them and locked them in a dark room until they’d do what she asked. & it’s all juxtaposed by Medusa praising what they’ve become after killing an entire village. The entire manga you’re rooting for crona to get away from Medusa and they finally do it in the worst way possible: Medusa praising them and being gentle is so out of the norm that they snap and stab her to death. & then they complete their kishin transformation. It’s so. Ouuughhhh. They’re such a tragic and heartbreaking character. Crona being the big bad was such a twist after the manga focused so hard on asura and Medusa.

A perfect end for Medusa though rip to the worlds worst milf.

#soul eater #in general I also think the salvage arc is also pretty dark #get them off the moon ohkubo I am being so serious #asks

It's more interesting if Medusa, when portrayed as a victim, is also monstrous instead of beautiful.

The Greeks used Medusa in shields and whatnot as a form of apotropaic magic, a way to ward evil and the evil eye. And she wasn't a pretty lady with snakes, she was a monster; she needed to be to offer any apotropaic protection.

A few modern works look back at how Ovid tells the story Medusa as a victim, because of how she was victimised by the gods and then by Perseus. But usually she's depicted as a beautiful, demure woman whom no one can really see because they're turned into stones, but I think that robs a bit of how poignant her story can be.

Like, Medusa was turned into a monster by the gods. She wasn't just punished, she became a thing to be reviled and to provoke disgust. I think it's much more interesting to challenge the audience to sympathise with this winged, ugly, demon-looking creature with the hug teeth and the crazy eyes, than to sympathise with a sad woman with her tits out.

This also gets into how a lot of modern media can only perceive "good" as also needing to be beautiful, or even nice to deserve love and empathy, when IRL things just aren't that cut and dry. Many victims become abusers themselves, many people who get these patterns installed on them as children go on to become "monsters" in other people's stories, and that creates very complex feelings on a lot of their own victims, who find it hard to square the sympathy they feel with the damage they caused.

To me, that's the crux of Medusa. She's ugly, she's a monstrous killer, she might even be evil, and she's deserving of sympathy and undeserving of being turned into this. I think it'd be way more interesting and challenging for a work to dare you to feel bad for this creature, and to show how even creatures that aren't beautiful and aren't nice still aren't deserving of being treated as she was.

In a way, that's what The Lord of the Rings did with Gollum. His end isn't triumphant and happy for the heroes, it's terribly sad that this pathetic creature succumbed to the power of the Ring, but it was Bilbo's pity for Gollum that saved them all in the end. Had Bilbo killed Gollum outright, Frodo would have succumbed to the power of the Ring and Middle-Earth would have been under the thumb of Sauron, but his compassion - even for something as ugly, deformed, twisted, and evil as Gollum - prevented that. To me that's beautiful.

pjo ep 6 thoughts: bitchy edition because i’m still in a mood

everyone going “i wish they’d played poker face :(” annoys me so much, like they were obviously not going to play poker face. like come on stfu.

(additional note unrelated to the ep itself, but rick riordan responding to people wanting poker face with “normalise bad movie erasure” rubbed me the wrong way sooo much. like i don’t think the movies are good! and i think he’s correct by not wanting any movie callbacks! but you’re not going to do yourself any favours by criticising one of the only scenes that the book fans enjoyed? and also he says it as if he has never written anything that is worth criticising at all and everything he does is perfect. like sir, get off your high horse because the only thing i thought when you said that was “okay so you’re being a dick”. okay thank you.)

lin manuel miranda as hermes is actually very good casting. i said what i said. some of y’all need to chill out.

them knowing about the lotus casino’s effects before going inside didn’t really work for me. like i didn’t mind that same change with medusa because the way they changed that story felt a lot more fresh and interesting. but with this one, where they didn’t change the twists that much at all? idk i think there would have been more suspense if they’d let the characters (and the audience) figure that out as they spent more time in the casino.

i love love love grover so much and one of the changes i like the most is him getting a little bit more attention from the story! but when an episode is only half an hour long, i really don’t think we needed that much of it dedicated to him with that augustus guy. like i don’t care about that rn tbh. and i know the point of augustus is to show the memory loss from the casino, but i feel like that could have been done in a more interesting way (especially if, like i said, they let us figure that out as we went! like let them talk to some people from the 1800s and figure out that time works different and affects their memories.)

why name the episode “we take a zebra to vegas” if you don’t even show us the goddamn zebra? like okay then.

luke’s “old married couple” comment just felt really weird to me. like i enjoy the percabeth content we’ve been getting, but this one felt like they were just trying to spoon-feed us. let their relationship grow and develop over (hopefully) five seasons! we don’t need that at this point in the story come on now.

luke’s “how do you know” reaction to them saying they know who the lightning thief is was hilarious lmao. the boy was sweating.

i don’t think may castellan’s story needed introducing during this episode. like i didn’t mind hermes being there, and i don’t mind them alluding to later plot points a little earlier. but once again, the episode was only half an hour long, and that conversation felt like it was needlessly taking up time that could be better spent somewhere else. if you’re going to be giving us additional lore that we don’t need, then you need to either make the episodes longer or add more of them, because i feel like there was so much more we could have had in the lotus casino.

everyone’s kinda shitting themselves over percy getting four pearls instead of three, but of the plot changes, that was the one that concerned me the least? like they’re just trying to show that poseidon cares about sally, which i don’t mind. and i don’t think they’re going to just let sally escape the underworld easily, because that would be a stupid decision for the writers to make, and although there have been some things i have questioned, i don’t think they’re going to mess that up. i’m guessing they’ll lose one of the pearls when the shoes try to drag them into tartarus. dangling hope then pulling it away yknow. i don’t think the four pearls is something we should be concerned about. (if next week’s ep airs and i was wrong and they do mess it up, feel free to bring this back and laugh in my face, but i’m fairly confident.)

now you know which plot change does confuse me? making the summer solstice already have passed. like that’s a strange decision. and i understand why they’ve done it (trying to raise the stakes even more) but i feel like it was unnecessary and confusing and doesn’t add much. like i’m fine with them making changes, just as long as it brings something new to the table, but i don’t think this does, because the stakes were already high, so it just feels like changing something for the sake of it.

i wanted to say that percy not being able to drive is so relatable to me, but he’s 12 and i’m almost 18 so i feel like he’s got a lot more excuses than me.

justice for george and martha? where were they?

so many people have already said this, but the shows two biggest problems in my eyes are the pacing (why are some bits so rushed and we get no action, and then other bits so slow and clunky. like what’s going on) and also just telling us the information instead of showing us (like you’re getting the chance to use a visual medium to retell this story!!! use it!!!)

the preview for the next ep kinda spoiling the ares fight is so stupid lmaooo like can you wait for the plot twist before you go around showing us that please?

anyway i can’t tell if this episode is weaker than the others or if i just feel that way because i’m in a bad mood, so i’ll get back on that in 3-5 business days.

#literally don’t know why i’m in my hater era rn #but since i am i might as well make it everyone else’s problem #pjo spoilers

More and more the show declines into feeling like satirized fanfiction of itself, because it is written like a satirized fanfiction.

Build-up is the backbone of nearly every climax. If you want the payoff to be good as it gets, you gotta get us to care first. That’s one of the standing differences between fanfiction and media. One field of work has to build everything up from the ground - characters, plotlines, themes - but the other? Already geared up from the beginning line. The biggest issue you have to worry about is typos, prudish/diehard commenters, how much nights your gonna waste on the writing and potentially mischaracterizing a character. You get what I mean? Fanfiction is the fun sand ground you could make any castles, house and statues out of your whims, compared to the more inflexible, logical, time demanding, money draining subject like serialized media. In fanfiction, you can get away with a lot of stuff you won’t in the star business.

One of those big factors are already having pre-established characters. Which is also one of Helluva Boss’s biggest problem.

I would state again this is very much my own opinion, but any relationship and conflict that exists in Helluva feels like one-shot fanfics running on 2000 word count limit. Everything happens and ends in the same episode. 2 season in, and there is no connections made with anything that happened in past episodes. New shit upon new shit. How can I care about any of these character and their issues, when the series is constantly on it’s toes, trying to found the next cool thing to dangle in front of me as if trying to distract me like some child? This is comparable to an AU fic where the author is just tossing everything they found interesting in it rather then telling something with it. Why can’t the pace just relax for once? Where’s the comedic, Office-like, dysfunctional found family we’ve been promised? (The last one is more me bitching but. You feel me?)

It feels almost desperate how progressively, the show gets worse and worse with it’s balance of reality and fanfictioness (Stolas going from Medusa to begin beaten by an imp, Millie’s unlredictable strength scale etc. The tongue in cheek “damsel tied to train rails” point out felt more like insecure writers trying to cover their asses than anything worth a laugh). It breaks it’s own rule every day just for fan service: The character doesn’t live inside the world, the world lives for the characters. And unless you’re Blitzo or Moxxie, your not going to get any agency independent from those two for a long time. Everything you do is either a joke or to forward the plot.

The show treats all it’s characters and relatonships like something you should have had an pre-existing knowledge of, then promptly mold and twisted it every new episode. The pace felt like the writers were held at gunpoint to churn in as much as intrigue possible in 10 minutes. Action upon action: When’s it simply gonna sit and tell story instead of constantly throwing plot points at the audiences? Your show won’t instantly get smitten by gods and die if it doesn’t have drama in it everytime, Viv.

All of these issues reek of fanfic. Not even the good kind. It’s just a chaotic, unplanned spectacle caught in live

#helluva critical #In an alternate universe Vivie’s Helluva Boss is in the top 10 kudo charting ao3 fanfic.

If you’d like to be added (or removed) to the tag list, please just let me know!

Previous chapters can be found here.

“Frerin? Are you awake?”

Frerin Durin rolled over onto his back and stared up at the ceiling. For the first time in months—at least, he thought it was months. Time had a way of meaning almost nothing over here—he was actually nervous. His stomach twisted tightly, the way it had when he was fourteen years old and found himself playing Seven Minutes in Heaven with Holly Andrews.

Only this time, far more was at stake that just a kiss and a possible opportunity to feel up the only girl who actually had boobs in ninth grade.

“Frer?”

“Yeah, I’m coming.” He sat up and swung his legs over the side of his bed. The room around him was tranquil blue, with white drapers fluttering on the soft breeze. It was simple and comfortable and he didn't mind being there, but all things considered, if he blew this chance, he’d kick himself for the rest of eternity.

Eternity.

He didn't want to think about it.

He eased his feet into white Vans and padded across the room to tug open the door, where he found Tori smiling up him. Her dark eyes sparkled as she said, “Are you excited, Frer? You’ve been waiting for this for a while now.”

“I don’t know,” he admitted softly, pulling the door shut behind him. “I’m kind of used to it here. I don’t know how I feel about going back… there…”

She slipped her hand into his and gave it a squeeze. “You want this and you know it. And you should. And I’m happy for you.”

“I haven’t gotten the okay just yet.”

“You will.”

As they drew near the Great Room, Frerin’s gut twisted worse than ever before. His mouth went dry. His heart pounded so hard, he thought Tori could hear it, although she said nothing.

At the door, she turned to him. “You’ve got this, Frerin. I believe in you.”

“Thanks.”

“And no offense, but I hope I don’t see you again.”

He managed to grin. “No offense, but I hope so, too.”

She slid her arms about his waist and pushed up onto her toes to brush his lips with a kiss.

Then she was gone.

He sighed, turning back to the closed doors. White. Everything around him was white. He’d never seen so much white as he had in the days since he’d arrived. White and tranquil. This had been home for the last six months. The outside world had gone on without him, even when he ventured out into it every now and then. He saw it, but only some of it saw him.

“Frerin? Any time you’re ready.”

He flinched at the deep voice, which was silly. He wasn’t in any trouble Not at all. He was on the Big Guy’s good side, but that voice just… it reminded him of when he was a kid and in trouble for something. He wasn't this time, of course, but some things never changed.

The doors opened on their own and he stepped into the Great Room, with its vaulting ceilings and columns, its white runner leading to the sunken living room, where the Big Guy sat on an overstuffed sofa, a book open and face down next to him.

“Frerin Durin,” he said with a smile. “I’ve been waiting for you. Your six month review was very positive and your reviews are exemplary. I understand,” he wiggled his fingers and a manila folder appeared in his hand, which he opened and thumbs through, “you helped your brother,” blue eyes flicked up to meet his, “Thorin?”

“Yeah. Thorin’s my older brother.”

“Ah… right, it says that right here. Anyway,” the Big Guy tapped his cheek with a forefinger, “you helped him not only solve your murder, but…”

He smiled. “You helped him find love as well.”

Frerin grinned. “Yeah. Al is perfect for him, they both just needed a push.”

“And you helped Tori adjust as well. You realize,” those blue eyes narrowed, “no one else has ever been able to do that? So many have tried, but only you succeeded.”

“I know how she felt,” Frerin admitted. “I didn't want to be here, either, no offense.”

“None taken. You’re honest and I appreciate that.” The Big Guy flipped the folder closed. “All right then, this is how this works. I give you a second chance, you return to your earthly form, the week before your death. No one but you will know what happened, or that you’ve come back. To them, nothing has happened since they last saw you. Only you know and you get but one chance, to right the major wrong in your life and fix it. If you do not right it in those seven days, you come back here and there will be no more chances.”

“Right the wrong? But, how do I know which one is the major one?”

“You will know. You need only think about it.”

“Think about it. Oh, boy… okay. If you say so.” Frerin rubbed the back of his neck. “Uh, I have one more question. Or maybe it’s a request. I’m not sure.”

The Big Guy sighed. “Yes?”

“My brother, he’s happy with his girlfriend. I don’t want to see him unhappy. Any way he and Al can be together, even if they didn't actually get together until a few months ago, after I died? I mean, you can do that, right?”

“You want Thorin and Alex to still be together?”

Frerin nodded. “Yeah. He’d wanted to ask her out around Halloween but chickened out. Is there a chance you can make him have not chickened out? You know, bend the timeline a little more than you’re already bending it?”

The Big Guy’s normally smooth forehead wrinkled. “I can, but no one has ever asked me to do so before.”

“I saw Thorin miserable for a long time,” Frerin told him softly, shaking his head, “and I don’t want him to be miserable again. Al makes him happy.”

“Very well. Consider it done.” The Big Guy looked to his left. “Diane, make a note of that, please.”

Frerin had no idea who Diane was or where she stood, as he saw no one else there, but then a soft voice said, “Done.”

Frerin swallowed hard as he nodded. “I understand.”

“I hope so,” the Big Guy told him solemnly, shaking his head, “for I mean it, there will be no other chances. And if you return here, you will not be able to go back, not even to visit your loved ones. Is that clear?”’

Frerin nodded. “It is.”

“Good.” The Big Guy smiled then. “Good luck and I hope you do not come back. No offense.”

“None taken.”

More mermay AU for you.

Johnny's on the beach for a party and the party is winding down and everyone is going home and he doesn't want to go home because (Sid) and he notices someone still out in the water.

Unbeknownst to him Kreese talks about him much to Terry's great annoyance and Terry decides that it's about time for him to take a bride. He'd been thinking of Kreese but there's no way Kreese would be happy as a kept man, the guy likes to be wild and to teach more little pipsqueaks. So he decides maybe as an act of revenge he'll make Kreese's thrown away star his bride. Has his people do research and then when Johnny's alone in the water he lures Johnny to him. He doesn't drown him, he could and he thought he'd be tempted, but once Johnny's come close enough to be seen in the moonlight he decides no, he's found his bride.

He expected his bride would hate it. All stories of monsters whisking their bride away in the night are considered terrifying and violent things. But as soon as he wraps his arms around Johnny's waist and pulls him close mutual curiosity peaks. He tries a human tactic.

"Be mine?"

He figured he'd go for it no matter the answer. But Johnny nods. Johnny's been cast aside by his sensei, Sid hates him, he's lonely and his self esteem are shot. But to Terry he's beautiful and will be his. The question is do they seal the deal in the water, on the beach, against the rocks or does Terry carry him home to his mansion and lay him down bare on the softest sheets Johnny's ever felt on his skin and introduce him to their bed? And Johnny learns that maybe being the wife of a magical creature leads to sex beyond his imagination and Terry marvels at how he managed to get something so pretty to willingly agree without any of the many tricks he planned and decides he'll spoil Johnny for the rest of their lives.

Kreese comes by once, sees Johnny curled up in a slutty cute outfit that Terry bought him and quite possibly with a toy inside of him to keep him from being bored while Terry's handling a work call and he's so speechless that he has to leave and Terry asks him if it's the shock of seeing Johnny or the regret of realizing he threw away all the best things in his life? and Kreese doesn't know how to answer either.

(It'd be fun to give Terry some magical powers I just don't know which ones. Mermaids don't do medusa stuff but I kinda like the idea of any time someone looks at Johnny wrong at a bar or while they're out shopping Terry turns them into a stone or some kind of toy to use to tease Johnny with until he can give him his full attention and in like traditional monster he never tells Johnny that's where his toys come from and he sees nothing wrong with it because clearly they wanted to touch him so this way they live out their purpose doing what they wanted and all they wanted in like a weird twisted way)

Omg yesss👀

Ahhhh so many choices

Johnny was mystified by the man; he could feel his scales against his shins and felt glad that he wore shorts that day. He was confused—of course he was. He wasn’t expecting to be tricked by a merman when he saw someone frantically waving him over in the water. He saw the big smile on the man’s face the closer he got, it was clear he wasn’t in trouble, but for some reason Johnny kept swimming over. There was just something about that grin that made Johnny want to feel it against his lips and know what was making him so giddy. But his smile faded when Johnny got there, not looking upset but more…mesmerized? No one has ever looked at him like that before, and the man is so winsome —otherworldly.

Johnny was pliant when Silver pulled him closer, he wanted it. He didn’t want to ever deny himself again. "Be mine?"

Johnny gave a quiet yes, and Silver kissed him. It was slow, almost gallant like, the kind you see in those old movies that make the girls pop their leg. It leaves him wondering how old the creature is; he looks quite young. Though it changes into something a lot headier when Johnny parts his lips and lets Silver slip his tongue in. That kiss is much shorter, leaving Johnny wanting more.

"Your eyes glow, my bride. Did you know that?"

He’s so cheesy.

Johnny flushes despite the chilly water around them. "I’m not Superman." He retorts, but it comes out weak. God, he doesn’t even know this guy, but for some reason he likes the danger he exudes.

Silver’s hand ran over him, pulling at his clothes with an amused expression. "You should’ve taken these off before swimming over; salt water fades them."

"Too late."

"So it is. I’ll be buying you an entire wardrobe of quality clothing soon enough. Better take these off now."

Johnny’s heart leapt, and he gripped the man’s shoulder as he pulled off his shorts, a helpless moan leaving him when big hands gripped his ass and pulled him closer. He was going so fast, but the last thing Johnny wanted was for him to slow down.

He had skinny dipped many times before with the cobras; he was as used to being naked in the water as he was to getting yelled at. The cobras would stare at him, and Dutch told him it was because he had a nice ass and a tiny waist. He compared Johnny to a chick with broad shoulders and got slapped before Bobby could stop it.

That was different. He felt something moving against him—a slippery feeling on his abdomen that made him flinch. "What the—"

Silver gripped Johnny’s wrist and led his hand to the source. "It’s not always like this, just in this form."

It was like nothing Johnny had touched before, the thin tip of it curled almost affectionately over one of his fingers. "Can you…control it?"

Kind of.

Silver raises his brows. "Can you control yours, dear?"

Johnny purses his lips, looking to the side. "No."

Silver chuckled. "Oh, ease up. I’m just teasing you." His gaze roams over Johnny’s face hungrily. "I like knowing that I’m the cause of that lovely blush."

He didn’t fuck Johnny in the water, wanting to take him somewhere a little more comfortable for him before doing that, but Johnny was such a needy little thing, pressing himself against Silver and whimpering, gasping at the way Silver’s tendril pressed against his own smaller cock.

"Feel good?"

Johnny nods against Terry’s slick shoulder, mouthing at it. "Yeah. Yes."

Terry smiled, caressing the dip of Johnny’s back and letting him squirm against him. "Just think about how it’d feel in here."

He dipped his hand lower, fingers pressing against Johnny’s tight hole, and Johnny bit Terry’s shoulder, officiating everything without his knowledge.

Silver carried him to shore, and Johnny grabbed his arm after being set down with a worried look on his face, seeming as if he was trying to hold it back.

"Are you… are you leaving now?"

"Yes. But not without you." He stepped closer. "We’re to be married, remember?"

Married? Johnny felt a sense of unfitting relief. He just wants someone or something to make it all better. Did he have expectations? Does he need to be molded for love? He doesn’t care if he gets trapped; he’s been trapped his whole life. He just wants his captor to truly want him forever.

The trip to the mansion felt short; maybe it was Terry's humming.

He was shivering when they got there. Fuck, he left his shoes at the beach. The ones that the cobras drew on. His eyes started stinging.

But he wasn’t left alone for too long, because Terry grabbed his waist and pressed up behind him, and he felt a smile against his temple.

Johnny gave him control so easily and showed him the most delicate parts of himself. It made Silver want to coddle him as much as he wanted to hurt him, bringing out a softer sadist in him when he’s usually harsh because he enjoys the fear and pained face.

He’s beautiful—the kind that you swear glows, the kind that begs you to look and memorize it. Johnny thought something similar about him.

He looked like he was meant to be pressed against those silk sheets, hair splayed like a halo around his hand, panting breaths leaving him.

"What’s your name?"

Husband. Sir. Master? "Terry."

Johnny turned his head. "Terry….Is that what everyone calls you?"

"Only the ones I can stand." He jokes. Only you and John.

He crooked his fingers deep, and Johnny moaned, pink lips parted, tempting Silver so very much. He kneaded Johnny’s ass cheek. He could be a siren; he’s got the looks, and that voice—he wants to hear it sing for him, lure him. It doesn’t feel possible for Terry to want him more.

He held his own legs open while Terry fingered him. Arched and tried to get them deeper, like having them in to the knuckle wasn’t already so filling.

He’ll have to see what else the boy likes—what else makes him arch, drip, and scream.

“How bad do you want it?”

“Bad. Please.”

His dick looked normal, and maybe Johnny would have been disappointed that he didn’t get to see it the other way if Silver had grabbed his hand and wrapped it around his cock, moving Johnny’s smaller one up and down. It was so warm, long, and veiny. Johnny couldn’t think of anything better.

"Oh, you muse of a boy. You like that, huh?"

Johnny nodded slowly, fully enamored, and moved his hand all on his own, Terry’s resting over his. Johnny can’t remember the last time someone held his hand.

As he looked between Terry’s pleasured face and the plentiful cock he was stroking. He confessed, "I wanna taste it."

Silver broke, quitting trying to hold himself back for the sake of leisure and grabbing Johnny’s long legs, throwing them over his shoulders, and pressing inside him without another moment's delay.

Silver wrapped a fluffy towel around him after, carried him to his bathroom, and set him down on the small stool. The tub was huge, with jets on the inside and a shelf next to it with all the scents and soaps he could ask for. He’s always been a primper. He likes to look and smell good, and he likes when people notice.

He watched Terry fill the bath, steamy water making Johnny’s cheeks red as he took in Terry’s broad back and his long, dark hair draped down it. He wanted to untangle it with his fingers or tangle it up more.

"Come here." Terry ordered, not putting any sort of bribery in his voice. And Johnny obeyed without hesitation. Perfect.

The bath was relaxing. Terry let Johnny lay against him while he washed him from head to toe, smiling at the way Johnny squirmed whenever the cloth brushed over a mark he had left. He made Johnny face him when, as he washed his hair, he was so open in his expressions, something captivating that Terry couldn’t wait to keep enjoying.

And he did keep enjoying it. He enjoys Kreese's pathetic look too, the one he got when it seemed to finally kick in that he fucked up. Terry and Johnny will leave the door cracked a smidge for him, but he’ll have to grovel instead of kicking his foot through the it.

It’s a gift to rub his well-taken-care-of bride of John’s dreams in his face in every way but literal.

Yesssss the morbidness of that. Can they feel it when he puts him up there? Or are their body and everything gone? Amazing.

Silver will do it with a smile and zero hesitation. Johnny can be a bit too kind at times—too many times. He’d probably tell Terry to leave them alone or punch them instead. Or maybe he’d get that mischievous look that Terry loves, and maybe he’d tell him who to get for him next.

In Terry’s firm opinion, anyone he or Johnny got pissed with deserved it, full stop.

Johnny finds he really likes when Terry uses his magic on him too, whether that’s singing to keep him like a perfect, pliant doll (all consensual). Or even Terry just coming inside of him; his cum is an aphrodisiac that literally makes Johnny unable to think of anything but getting fucked by Terry over and over again. And it can last hours; last time it happened, Johnny was climbing him like a tree the whole day. Even when his hole was puffy and sore from Terry and he was a tear stained mess, He’d wrap his arms around Terry’s neck and rut against him, whimpering and making little panicked noises when Terry tried to pull him off like a mere kitten, looking up at Terry with big shiny eyes full of betrayal, his lips all bitten up. Terry always gets it up again somehow from Johnny’s desperation.

Johnny doesn’t mind Terry’s dark deeds; the man takes care of him, and vice versa—and just maybe he finds the scheming fun. (He loves that Terry always keeps him in the loop. He loves the twinkle in his eye and excitement, the way he bares his soul to Johnny like he bares his teeth at others.)

Terry never had to force him to stay.

#Something about Terry makes me write like a 40 yr old women writing a romance novel #And I love it #silverlaw #mermaid au #safety first #nsft #Krilverlaw?👀 for me yes
