Tickle-Hungry ~ A Markiplier Ego Fanfic

Here we have our next glorious anon prompt, this one pertaining to an interesting ship between the snazzy Bim Trimmer and courageous Silver Shepherd! Let's explore this cute union and DO THIS!

TAGGING: @bimlee-trimmer @bim-trimler and @silvlee-shepherd

Silver Shepherd, as usual, was being a complete and utter sweetheart, and Bim Trimmer was smitten. The charming gameshow host had taken a swan-dive into the whole “new year new me” vibe, and had begun this process by giving his studio a complete revamp in anticipation of a new panel show he was going to be filming. All the basic decorating had been done and everything he needed was on-site, but now it was a case of getting all the heavy apparatus and props in position… and the workforce he normally used had all come down with the flu! Naturally of course, Silver Shepherd was eager to jump to the rescue and be the hero of the hour, and for the past few days had been placing podiums, installing rows of seating, as well as positioning heavy cameras and light fixtures.

Bim was helping too of course… though mostly by bringing Silver drinks and snacks whilst he himself mostly watched the hero at work. Silver didn’t mind, and honestly was glad because the last thing he wanted was for Bim to pull a muscle! So he accepted the sustenance and chat happily, honestly loving having Bim’s constant company… and the occasional subtle flirting that came with it. Silver pretended not to notice, but he saw how Bim would glance over at him (or sometimes just straight up stare) whenever he stretched or flexed amidst his work. Silver found it very flattering, and as a result had slowed his pace a little, just to make the fun last.

‘Where do you want this camera going?’

‘Just over there please, we’ll use that one for the wide podium shots.’

‘Okey dokey!’

Silver went about moving it, his shirt raising as he did so, and Bim had to bite back a grin when he got the chance to catch yet another glimpse of Silver’s delectable midriff. Bim didn’t know what was coming over him, but something about spying Silver’s adorable tummy or waist made him feel–

‘So what’s it about?’

‘Huh?’

Bim blinked at Silver, realising Silver was stood in front of him, smiling curiously.

‘The new gameshow! Is it a quizzy one?’

Bim used all his willpower not to blush as a charming smile appeared on his face, and he laughed lightly.

‘O-Oh, hah, yeah yeah it is.’

‘How will it work?’

Silver asked, his eyes bright with curiosity which made Bim feel like his heart was going to melt. Bim subtly neatened his hair as his smile grew, subconsciously trying to look smart and charming as he replied.

‘Well um, the questions are in different categories. If you answer enough questions in one category you can get prizes related to it, and there are a list of themes people can pick from. For example if someone went with the theme of Italy and they answer three questions right, they’ll get a dinner for two at a 5 star Italian restaurant. Answer six questions right they’ll also get a six year supply of authentic gelato, and if they answer all ten questions correctly then they also get an all expenses paid 4-night holiday to Florence! Also all the questions are multiple choice, so it’s not super hard.’

Silver looked utterly awestruck, mainly because the prizes sounded so generous!

‘Woah, that sounds so cool!’

‘You really think so?’

Bim asked, and Silver nodded as his beaming smile grew.

‘Yeah! I mean… I think all your ideas are awesome.’

Silver’s words hit Bim like a freight train. Bim was used to compliments, he got them from colleagues and fans practically every day… but to hear words like these from Silver just got to him in a totally different way. Bim couldn’t hold back the warmth blooming on his face, and when Silver saw he’d made Bim blush he himself felt his own cheeks turn rosy. But of course that’s fine between really close friends! Silver figured it was totally normal that his tummy was full of flutters and that his fingers were twitching with the urge to play with Bim’s hair and stroke his face– oh boy. Silver blinked, getting his thoughts straight, and opened his mouth to ask what Bim wanted moving next.

But he didn’t have a chance to get his words out, because Bim too had been swirled about in his own head. All he could think about was how damn kind and sweet Silver was, how generous and selfless… but also how goddamn pretty he was. I mean he was a superhero for goodness sake! Not only that, but he was so strong, so soft looking… and that midriff was a whole treat all by itself. Bim couldn’t resist anymore… and so he pounced.

‘So shall I do one of the podiums next or–AHH!’

Silver’s words were cut off as he suddenly found himself pinned to the floor, eyes wide. As he locked eyes with Bim he spotted a twinkle… a very, very familiar twinkle. Silver had been tickled by Bim before, so he knew what his ler mood looked like… but for Bim this was even more than that. There was something feral in that twinkle, and for a moment Silver could have sworn he saw his eyes flash violet and his teeth momentarily gleam with sharpness.

‘B-Bim what the heck?!’

Silver giggled nervously as he squirmed, but Bim’s hold was strong as he kept him playfully pinned down. Slowly he leaned in and whispered in the hero’s ear.

‘Do you have any idea… how tempting you are?’

Silver’s pink cheeks suddenly darkened to a distinct red as he stuttered.

‘T-Tempting? H-How?’

Bim chuckled fondly down at him, and gently lifted up Silver’s t-shirt to reveal his stomach and waist. With a few fingertips he started tracing the bare skin, and he purred in a low voice.

‘Soft, sensitive… tasty looking…’

Silver’s eyes went wide as he realised what Bim was getting at, and the traces already got his giggles started. Bim’s way of tickling was legendary in the manor…in the most wild and chill-inducing way. Bim slowly licked his lips, grinning and revealing his teeth as his face hovered closer and closer to Silver’s stomach.

‘N-Nonono Bim Bim w-wait yoou know I c-can’t take it when you–EEEEP!’

Bim pressed his open mouth against Silver’s stomach…and started nibbling. In an instant Silver was struggling wildly as he giggled and snorted, his blush creeping down his neck and he started babbling.

‘Nohohoho stahahahappit! Yohohour teheeth ahare shahaharp!’

‘Mhmm, all the better to tickle you with!’

‘Nuhuhuhuhu!’

Silver giggled even harder as Bim nibbled all over his soft, plush stomach. He wasn’t leaving any marks to speak of, but those canines in particular was just impossible for Silver to ignore. Plus with Bim holding his hands down, their fingers interlaced together in a totally normal friend way, there was nothing he could do to fight back!

‘Mmm, has anyone ever told you that you taste as good as you look?’

Silver was flustered into near speechlessness as he gazed up at Bim, gaping and stuttering.

‘Wha–…I…’

Bim laugh, giving Silver’s lower belly a nip as he growled warmly.

‘Aww, did I embarrass you?’

Silver resumed his wild giggles and little shrieks as Bim’s teeth continued their tickly feasting. The rest of the hero’s energy translated into him frantically kicking his legs as he replied.

‘Why ahahare yohou dohoing thihis toho mehehehe?!’

‘I already told you, because you’re just so tempting!’

Bim retorted, nipping at one of the hero’s hips to make Silver squeal and whine.

‘Buhuhuhut why?!’

Silver’s eyes were wide with cute confusion, and Bim hesitated as his own cheeks got hotter. He decided to hide his face by bowing it to nip Silver’s hip again – but even as the hero squealed… he caught the edge of Bim’s smile as it turned noticeably shy.

‘Maybe I… like you.’

Silver’s breath hitched and both men went still. Silver’s smile didn’t fade as the tickles paused and Bim gently released his hands, sitting up and clearing his throat softly as he glanced away from Silver. Bim’s heart and head were racing. Did he really just say that? Would Silver be happy because of what he said? Would Silver know exactly what he meant when he said that he liked him? Bim’s mind was threatening to run away with him, until he felt a squeeze on his hand.

‘You like me?’

Silver whispered, and when Bim looked at him he saw an expression full of a smile, a blush… and hope. Bim cleared his throat softly, gently resting his chin on Silver’s tummy as he nodded, looking at Silver tentatively. The Silver’s face was hot as his mind raced with his own thoughts. Was this really happening? Did Bim say what Silver thought he said? Did they both have the same feelings? Silver knew how he felt for Bim, that’s for sure… he’d felt things for Bim for such a long time, but a lack of confidence had always gotten in his way. Until now. Silver reached out and gently stroked Bim’s cheek, encouraging him to look at him.

‘Maybe… maybe I like you too.’

Bim’s face lit up, and he instinctively pressed his cheek against Silver’s hand. One look in his eyes told him that he and the hero were on the exact same page. Bim also saw that the smile on Silver’s face was vibrant, and a tad cheeky. Flirty. Bim grinned, and leaned down to nuzzle Silver’s already pink hip – he figured there was no harm in flirting back, just a little.

‘Oh really?’

Silver squeaked with surprise… but didn’t push Bim away as he continued to softly nuzzle along his waist. He hid his face in his hands as he giggled, nodding as he peeked at Bim through his fingers. If Silver had been looking for confirmation of their relationship, this was definitely it. Bim chuckled, showing of his pearly whites as he grinned broadly. This was the best day ever.

‘I think you like it when I nibble you, don’t you?’

Silver got butterflies in his stomach at the thought of admitting that of all things… and he also liked the thought of keeping up that subtle cheeky streak he had bubbling in his chest. He snorted softly as he mumbled.

‘Mahahahaybe…’

Bim smirked at that, raising a playful eyebrow. He could tell Silver was playing coy on purpose which he thought was adorable… and he knew exactly what the perfect response would be. Bim took a deep breath, and started blowing raspberries along Silver’s exposed waist as he chuckled.

‘Only maybe? Are you sure?’

Needless to say, Silver was an absolute giddy mess of shrieks and yelping-laughs as his eyes widened cutely.

‘WAHAHAIT WAITWAITWAIT BEHEHE NIHIHICE!’

‘I am being nice, I’m giving you one of your five a day!’

Bim continued his raspberries as Silver kicked and batted at him. Though he didn’t fight back with any genuine force, it didn’t take long for the one-sided tickles to transform into a full-blown tussle of pokes and half-hearted wrestling. Neither man could stop smiling.

‘Yohohou’re ahaha meheanie!’

‘You take that back!’

‘Nohoho!’

‘Oh you’re really gonna get it now!’

Silver’s giggles were bubbly and full of squeaks as they continued wrestling, and Bim’s giggles were similarly unstoppable. He leaned in close with a growl, and the hero shrieked and flails when he felt a sloppy raspberry against his ear.

‘AHHH NONONOHOHOHO!’

‘Ooohhh, I didn’t know your ears were so ticklish!’

‘LEHEHEAVE THEHEM AHALOHONE!’

Bim laughed, and playfully grazed the shell of his ear with his teeth.

‘Aww, so sensitive and delicious! I think these might be my new favourite snack!’

Silver was a mess of flustered laughter, but once again wasn’t truly trying to push Bim away. In fact, he was doing the opposite. His arms were wrapped around Bim’s waist, keeping him snug and as close as humanly possible, which was keeping Bim’s heart racing with delight. He treated both of Silver’s ears to a load of nibbles for a while, before he dimmed down to more soothing kisses, until finally leaning up and having mercy. Silver was panting as he giggled residually, and he beamed when he saw the shy smile return to Bim’s face.

‘Was that… okay?’

Silver giggled, and didn’t hesitate to nod.

‘Yeah… more than okay.’

Then, before he could let his nerves cloud his judgement, Silver leaned up and gave Bim a peck on the lips. Bim’s face lit up, his eyes flashing with those magical glints of violet once again… and he kissed Silver back. They were connected, warm and soothed for a few sweet moments before they briefly parted for air, and Silver whispered.

‘Do you still want me to move stuff–?’

‘Nope.’

‘Are you sure–?’

Bim cut him off with another kiss, making the hero giggle and melt – if he had to pick between moving light fixtures and kissing the most handsome gameshow host in existence, he was going to choose the latter every time. Especially when said gameshow host pulled him to his feet with a grin and a growl, holding his hand and pulling him out of the study and he mumbled about still being hungry. Silver figured his grin was probably permanent now, and his step had a skip to it as he interlaced his fingers with Bim. After all, he wasn’t the only one hungry for tickles – and that, darling readers, is the greatest prize of all.

[kqltlc]

kinda want to get back into writing and I thought of this earlier so ayo, scuffed piece go brrr.

tl;dr: short scene where villain frees hero from supervillain's imprisonment. villain swears a bit. heh.

'This... is troubling.' Hero thought with a resigned sigh, slumping into the shackles that bound them so relentlessly.

Supervillain had done it. Not only did he manage to capture and restrain Hero, but he had gone the extra mile with making absolutely sure Hero wouldn't be able to weasel out of this one. Anything Hero tried, any step Hero took, it felt like Supervillain was ten steps ahead of them.

To say Hero was stumped was an understatement.

A sudden laugh from outside the cell made Hero jump, their eyes darting over to the owner. Standing there, laughing like she was told the best joke ever, was Villain.

"God you look so pathetic, mind if I take a picture? Of course you don't, thank you!" She pulled out her phone and took one anyway, her laugh turning into a chuckle as she began typing away at the screen seconds after, "Content creators are going to love this when it shows up on their trending pages later."

Hero's voice was flat as they glared at her, "What are you doing here."

Villain slipped her phone back into her pocket before looking to her right and pressing a button, "Helping the local dumbass out, duh."

All at once every measure Supervillain took to keep Hero contained - every shackle, every bar, every obstacle - just fell away, freeing Hero of its hold.

Hero was struck with disbelief as they got to their feet, "Why?? Aren't you on his side??"

Villain's grin instantly faded, replaced with the most disgusted look Hero had ever seen and the most venom in her voice Hero had ever heard, "I hate that fucker so much. I disliked him before but now he's fucking intolerable."

She eyed Hero, her voice swapping back to her usual tone as her grin returned, "I knew you wouldn't run from a fight with him, your dumbass probably got captured or something so I tracked you down. Thank fuck Supervillain is as stupid as he is smart, bitch didn't consider someone like me waltzing in and pressing all those little buttons his lazy ass installed everywhere for convenience."

Hero blinked as they stood beside Villain, more surprised at Supervillain's lack of forethought than Villain's excessive use of swearing. Did... did Supervillain really make it that easy from the outside?

A click of a security camera sounded before alarms started blaring, "E-PE21, Prisoner has escaped south-east ward. Starting Protocall C-EP45, all units mobilize," the automated message announced, followed by the echoes of urgent voices in the halls.

Villain scowled, annoyance flickering in her eyes as she turned to start walking down a hallway, "You owe me a free robbery later."

Hero followed after, "How about a chance to take down Supervillain?"

"... You know, I'd love to kick in that fuck-ugly face of his. Sure."

Keeping an Eye on What Matters: The Home CCTV System Guide

In the cozy corners of our homes, where laughter echoes and memories are made, the thought of security adds a layer of comfort to our peace of mind. Imagine your home as a fortress, not with towering walls or moats, but with the vigilant eyes of a CCTV system, guarding your haven 24/7. In this article, we delve into the world of home CCTV systems, unraveling the mystery thread by thread, to help you weave a blanket of security around your loved ones.

Understanding Home CCTV Systems

At its core, a home CCTV system acts as your eyes when you're away and your guardian when you're asleep. It's like having a personal security guard that never blinks. But how do you choose the right one? It starts with understanding the basics – from cameras that can see in the pitch dark to systems that alert you on your smartphone about any unusual activity.

Key Features to Look For

When hunting for the perfect home CCTV system, think of yourself as Goldilocks. You're looking for features that are 'just right' for your home. High-definition video, motion detection, night vision, and remote access are just the tip of the iceberg. It's about finding the balance between advanced features and simplicity.

Installation Tips

Installing a home CCTV system isn't rocket science, but it does require some planning. Positioning cameras at strategic points is like placing chess pieces – each move is crucial. Think about entry points, high-traffic areas, and blind spots. Remember, the goal is to cover as much ground as possible, without turning your home into a Big Brother set.

Wired vs. Wireless: Making the Choice

Choosing between a wired and wireless system is like deciding between a classic vinyl record and a streaming service. Both have their charm. Wired systems are reliable and uninterrupted, while wireless systems offer flexibility and a cleaner look. Consider your home's layout and your specific needs before making a decision.

Navigating Legal Considerations

It's essential to remember that with great power comes great responsibility. Ensuring your home CCTV system respects privacy laws and neighborhood etiquette is crucial. It's about security, not spying. Always make sure cameras are focused on your property and not intruding on others' privacy.

Maintenance and Upkeep

Maintaining a home CCTV system is like caring for a garden – it needs regular attention. Regularly check camera lenses for dirt, ensure cables are intact, and update software to keep your system running smoothly. A well-maintained CCTV system is a reliable one.

The Role of Smart Home Integration

In today's digital age, a home CCTV system that integrates with your smart home devices is like having a symphony orchestra at your fingertips – everything works in harmony. Controlling your system through voice commands or a smartphone app brings convenience and efficiency to your doorstep.

Cost Considerations

Setting up a home CCTV system doesn't have to break the bank. There are options for every budget, from basic setups to high-end solutions. It's about investing in peace of mind. Consider it a long-term investment in your home's security and your family's safety.

Top 5 Home CCTV Systems

Navigating the market for home CCTV systems can be overwhelming. From industry giants to innovative newcomers, we've narrowed down the top 5 systems that offer reliability, quality, and user-friendly features, ensuring there's something for every homeowner.

DIY vs. Professional Installation

Deciding between DIY and professional installation is like choosing between a home-cooked meal and a gourmet restaurant. Both have their merits. If you're handy and enjoy a weekend project, DIY installation might be up your alley. Otherwise, professional installation can save you time and ensure your system is set up perfectly.

Enhancing Security with Additional Tips

A home CCTV system is a strong link in your security chain, but it's not the only one. Reinforcing doors, securing windows, and good lighting can significantly enhance your home's security. Think of it as a multi-layered approach to keeping your sanctuary safe.

Conclusion

In the tapestry of life, where every moment is precious, a home CCTV system provides more than just security; it offers peace of mind. It's about knowing that your home is watched over, even when you're miles away. As we wrap up, remember that the best security system is the one that fits your unique needs, blending seamlessly into the fabric of your daily life.

Are my devices spying on me?

What if we tell you that your smart dishwasher can blink its lights on for no reason, your smart oven can start itself without receiving a command from you, or even worse, your robot vacuum cleaner (with in-built camera) could actually stalk you around your house. We would never wish that you find yourself in such a scenario, but if you do, we suggest consulting a cyber security expert before calling for an exorcist. Why? Because more than evil spirits, hackers are trying to take control of your IoT devices to fulfill their malicious purposes. If it has left you wondering how in this world can a hacker potentially harm you with your home appliances, such as a robot vacuum cleaner (of course not by crashing it into you), we have some news for you.

The reason your IoT home appliances or other devices, such as television, are called smart is because they are powered with AI and connected with the internet, so you can turn on the geyser or switch on the AC right from your phone, minutes before reaching home. Due to the versatility of the technology, there could be several loopholes or bugs in the security with which a hacker could break into the system. In 2016, Check Point security researchers disclosed how a vulnerability in one million LG smart devices exposed users to the risk of unauthorized remote control of their home appliances, including air conditioners, dryers, dishwashers, washing machines, ovens, refrigerators, and more.

The hacking does not end here, as tracking your location is one of the many things that cyber criminals could do with your devices. Imagine someone keeping an eye on you in your bedroom through your smart television’s camera and recording everything that lies in the camera’s sight. Such type of hacking is usually done to blackmail the victim and then to demand ransom. Cyber criminals can hack television by getting access to its user settings and then installing malware in the television. Worst part about it is; hackers can watch you even while television is on standby.

Even though companies are working day & night while investing millions of dollars to make their devices hack proof, cyber criminals are managing to stay one step ahead with more innovative ways of hacking. One such example is the use of ultrasonic waves to take control of your smart voice assistant and use it to gain access to your house, unlock your car, or even make online purchases. Interestingly, your smart voice assistant might not be smart enough to differentiate between your voice commands and a silent ultrasonic wave’s command. Since ultrasonic waves could penetrate through physical obstacles, the hacker could be sending the waves from 100 meters away from your device.

Amid tussle between cyber criminals and security system developers, it is the user that suffers in countless ways. In the last two decades we have witnessed the evolution of hacking from sneaking into someone’s mailbox to potentially killing a person by hacking their insulin pumps.
