[elympios]

I’m literally never going to be able to get through all the doujinshi I bought and that’s reassuring bc I’ll always have something to parse through now even when I run out of canon...

That being said how did I buy literally like. Sixty doujinshi and absolutely NONE of them have addressed the Bad Ending?????????

It’s like the exact opposite to English fandom where people basically only talk about the Bad Ending when it comes to Ludger and Julius

Why is it like that?

#also now that i know the x1 cast i am like. owwwwww. but also the bad ending canonically isnt very sensibly executed #but i have a soft spot in my heart for the rewrite where the x1 party is divided on killing julius even tho julius is asking #and so ludger is not justified in killing everyone #he just does it anyway #i appreciate that neither the game nor the staff commentary fully demonises that ending #but i do wish it made more sense in terms of the x1 characters’ reactions #if they were actively divided. if ludger just assumed they would all step over him to kill julius. yknow #anyway bad ending best ending and i need more validation ;-; #v #x2

Emm... I wanna know what happened to the others performance videos of Produce x 101 "Move" "Pretty Girl" (these are the ones I noticed that aren't there anymore) bc there were two video of those performance and know when you search for them only one appears... Did Mnet deleted them or ???

Ikemen Villains 4GAMER Article + CGs

I do not own any of the Ikemen Series content being uploaded on this blog, everything belongs to CYBIRD. Please support them by downloading and playing their games.

All images ©4GAMER and CYBIRD

read this before interacting with my posts

To avoid being slapped with a copyright lawsuit, I won't t/n the entire news article. I'll just briefly summarise it.

Introduction

Ikemen Villains is a project to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of Ikemen Series. The game's concept is "darkest and most addictive romance story".

For a quick glance at the game's storyline, you can read the story synopsis here.

4GAMER has released interviews with the voice actors of some characters, so be sure to check them out. You can find them on Ikemen Villain's official twitter page because they've retweeted the articles. They also interviewed the game developer (aka our CYBIRD).

Game System

I'm sure everyone's curious what the game will be like, and so it was revealed in this 4GAMER article.

Like the other Ikemen Series games, you will be able to read one story chapter for free each day.

The love interest's reaction will be different, depending the choices you make. The type of story ending you will receive may also be affected.

There will be the avatar system where you can dress your avatar and his avatar up nicely. You can also obtain cards of your favourite love interest and listen to his lovely voice 😻

Ikemen Villains will have the commu system, just like Ikemen Prince! You can increase your commu level by reading his main story, or setting him as your "escort" (i'm guessing this is the same as IkePri's salon system). You will receive special avatar items and fully voiced stories as your commu level gets higher. Each love interest as 13 commu stories and there are 9 love interests, so that's 117 commu stories in total.

Pre-registration campaign

There will be lots of attractive rewards for each pre-registration milestone reached. Check out the infographic below for more details.

10,000 pre-registrations: gacha tickets x3, cocktail set (increases stamina by 100) x1, classic braided chignon hair x1 (avatar item).

30,000 pre-registrations: gacha tickets x3, diamonds x200, black victorian style dress with rose design (avatar item).

50,000 pre-registrations: gacha tickets x4, diamonds x300, cocktail sets x2.

66,666 pre-registrations: 4☆ and above rarity guaranteed gacha ticket x1, diamonds x1000.

Pre-register for Ikemen Villains NOW! You can pre-register by adding IkeVil as a friend on LINE, following their twitter account, via IFC, and/or by email address.

Cleo sub-DPS Build Guide (MUST BUILD 4*!!)

Hello Everyone! In this post I will share with you the detailed build guide of the 4-star Electro Claymore User Cleo. She is rate up on this current banner and since Etho is rerunning next patch, I figured now is the perfect opportunity for you to learn why she is a must build for any hyperbloom team.

✦✦✦ Kit and Playstyle ✦✦✦

Cleo is a 4-star ATK scaling Electro Claymore user who works well as a Physical DPS but really shines on teams based around Elemental Reactions. This guide will focus on her application as a sub-DPS, especially for hyperbloom teams.

◇ Normal Attack: Grave Vengeance

Cleo's normal attack performs four consecutive strikes dealing physical damage. Like the other claymore users, Her charged attack Performs a spinning attack on nearby enemies which gradually draining stamina.

◇ Elemental Skills (E) : Expert Puppeteer

Cleo leaves an electro marker on the ground, referred to as an Ethereal Clone, that does periodic AoE Electro DMG, though this amount is very small. This skill has two charges, and two markers can be on the field simultaneously.

◇ Elemental Burst (Q) : Imitation of Life: Destructive Light

Much of Cleo's DMG comes through in her Burst, which really shines when effectively using her E skill. Deals massive AoE Electro DMG around the placed markers, which then become summons who deal additional Electro DMG to nearby enemies. When using this burst without markers on field, the AoE will come from Cleo and no summons will appear, so it is advised to make effective use of her E skill. Summons, referred to as Ephemeral Imitations, deal DMG for 4s.

Cleo's burst has an energy cost of 60 and a cooldown of 20s.

◇ Passives

- Precision and Might: Having maximum markers on the field increases Cleo's EM by 30.

- Harsh Truth of the Undead: If below 50% HP, Cleo has a 25% chance every 3s for one Normal Attack to be infused with electro.

- Deft Hands: 25% chance to refund materials when crafting Character and Weapon materials.

✦✦✦ Ascension & Talent Materials ✦✦✦

◇ Vajrada Amethyst

Like all Electro characters, Navia will need Vajrada Amethyst for ascension. Players will need to collect the following amount to get her final ascension:

Vajrada Amethyst Sliver x1

Vajrada Amethyst Fragment x9

Vajrada Amethyst Chunk x9

Vajrada Amethyst Gemstone x6

◇ Drops from Undead Hoardes

Undead Hoardes are found all throughout the world, most commonly in early regions like Ention or Riveia. To get Cleo to final ascension, you will need:

Rotten Tooth x18 (x18)

Decaying Fang x30 (x66)

Jaw of the Undead x36 (x93)

(Parentheses are for all talents to level 10.)

◇ Singing Fruit of the Choir of Leaves

Singing Fruit of the Choir of Leaves can be claimed by defeating the Central Leybeast in Riveia. Like other bosses, it costs 40 resin to collect materials. You will need x46.

◇ Glowberries

Glowberries is Cleo's local specialty from Hermitopia. Unlock the Hermitopia Archon quest to be able to travel there. You will need x168. They can be grown in the teapot.

◇ Persistence Talent Books

Persistence Talent Books can be gotten from Mooncalled Depthstrider's Palace (Hermitopia) on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

◇ Coin of the False God from the Scourge of the Mirror Factory weekly boss

Complete the Hermitopia Archon Quest to unlock this Trounce Domain.

✦✦✦ Artifacts & Stats ✦✦✦

Cleo's best Artifact set is now Widow's Encore in the 5.3 update.

2-piece set increases Elemental Mastery by 30. 4-piece set increases the DMG of elemental burst when an elemental reaction with electro, such as Electro-Charged, Overload, Superconduct, Hyperbloom, Quicken, Aggravate or Spread, has occurred within the last 2s.

Sands: ATK%/EM

Goblet: Electro DMG

Circlet: CRIT rate/DMG

Substats: ER, CRIT rate and DMG, ATK%

ER: ~130-160%

Another good option for Cleo is 2-piece Thundering Echo set, 2-piece Widow's Echo, which increases Electro DMG and EM respectively.

✦✦✦ Weapons ✦✦✦

Cleo's best in slot is The Twin Splitter (Weapon banner), but other standard 5* options include Forge's Spine and the BP weapon Carrion Vengeance. 4* weapons that are good for Cleo include the forge weapon Whiteout and the standard weapon Bornagain Ashfinder. If necessary, for new players and f2p players, the best 3* weapon for Cleo is the Talking Stick.

✦✦✦ Talent Priority ✦✦✦

Burst > E. Skill > Normal Attack

A good suggested level for folks who do not want to go all the way is 9/8/6.

✦✦✦ Team Comps ✦✦✦

GOATed Hyperbloom - Cleo's best team by far. Cleo as sub-dps and electro application, Bdubs as hydro application and support, and Etho as on field DPS and dendro application. A flex healer is good for this team, especially considering Bdubs's HP mechanic. Personally I use Joe Hills for her grouping abilities, and anemo is always welcome in a hyperbloom team.

Cleo Superconduct (DPS) - Cleo as main DPS, then Xisuma for electro resonance and support, Iskall as sub-dps and cryo application, and Ren for cryo resonance and heals.

✦✦✦ Constellations ✦✦✦

C1: ATK speed up related to E skill.

C2: Increases charges on E skill.

C3: Talent level increase.

C4: Increases Cleo's ATK based on party member HP.

C5: Talent level increase.

C6: Burst duration increase.

Cleo's cons are nice, and she is a perfectly good DPS/sub-DPS at C0, but C2 is absolutely incredible for anyone looking to play and build her long term.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

That's all for the guide! Happy wishing and hope you enjoy the current Rate UP (get those cons)! Let me know in the comments if you're planning on building Cleo and if you're considering pulling on the Etho rerun next patch!!

ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀ ꜱʜᴇᴇᴛ: ᴏᴄ

꧁𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨

ʙᴀꜱᴇ ᴘʀᴏꜰɪʟᴇ ⟡ ɪɴ-ɢᴀᴍᴇ ᴇᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴ ① ⟡ ɪɴ-ɢᴀᴍᴇ ᴇᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴ ②

Disclaimer: I'm not a meta player so these numbers or effects may be fucked up. Please take it in all good fun 🙏🏻

ー༄ Special Dish:

“Absolutely Normal Hot Chocolate.”

Type: Recovery Dishes

Ingredients: Cocoa powder x2, Milk x1, Spice x1

Effect: Restores 18~22% of Max HP to the selected character and regenerates 300~470 HP every 5s for 30s.

Description: Coviello’s specialty. Indulgent blend of cocoa and steaming hot milk, along with a dollop of condensed milk and a dash of cinnamon, with marshmallows to stir in or nibble on the side. It’ll warm up your body from the inside. Disclaimer: this version has no god’s remains inside.

ー༄ Favorite food:

“Venison Stew”

Type: Recovery Dishes

Ingredients: Raw meat x2, Fire-Water x1, Pepper x1

Effect: Restores 26~30% of Max HP to the selected character and regenerates 450~790 HP every 5s for the next 30s.

Description: A simple but hearty meal made of freshly hunted game. Since the Fire-Water is poured in the later process of the cooking, the alcohol should warm anyone up quite nicely. A perfect dinner to have in a cold winter night.

ー༄ Signature Weapon:

🗡 Frozen Flame

Weapon Type: Sword

2nd Stat Type: Elemental Mastery

Rating: ★★★★★

Description: An icy blue sword with glowing red ‘veins’ along its blade. Forged by the cold frozen lake of Snezhnaya's endless winters and the eternal fire of Natlan, it seems to be especially receptive to certain elements.

Refinement Rank 1: Lux Aut Umbra

Upon hitting enemies affected by Hydro: Refreshes any existing Nota stacks and gains one Umbra Nota, which increases ATK to all party members by 18% for 10s. Max 3 stacks. The next two Umbra Nota can only be gained if wielder is off-field. When the wielder has 3 stacks, active character’s ATK SPD will be increased by 6%.

Upon hitting enemies affected with Cryo or Pyro: Refreshes any existing Nota stacks and gains Lux Nota, which increases the wielder’s Normal Attack DMG by 100%. This effect will disappear after 42 DMG instances or 18s.

A/N ⟡ Kit Concept: Mainly a weapon to better enhance Coviello's versatile playstyle. e.g. as support/sub-DPS, you'd focus on gaining Umbra Nota and making sure they go off-field, while as a main/sub-DPS, you'd focus on gaining Lux Nota (which can easily be done using their Elemental Burst).

ー༄ Active Skills:

Normal Attack: Advancing in Caution

Normal Attack: Performs up to 5 rapid strikes.

Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of stamina to quickly step back and either 1) fires a pistol or 2) throws a dagger. Both instances deal Physical DMG.

Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Elemental Skill: Frostbite

Duration: 12s ⟡ CD: 20s

Cryo DMG: (Base level) 120% ATK + 140% Elemental Mastery

Applies a circular Cryo field which deals continuous Cryo DMG every 2s.

“Why do I wear thick clothes and layers if the cold doesn’t bother me?”

“….... You know I’m still human, right? Or was that a roundabout way of you saying that you want me to die?”

Elemental Burst: Ice Burn

Duration: 18s ⟡ CD: 32s

Enhanced Normal Attack DMG: (Base level) 120% ATK + 250% Elemental Mastery

HP Drain: 5% Max HP per second

Coviello activates their delusion and alternates between Cryo and Pyro DMG between attacks, causing continuous Melt reaction. This will convert their Normal Attack: Advancing in Caution’s Physical DMG into Elemental DMG.

While they’re in this state, their HP will continuously be drained.

“Do you know what severe frostbite feels like? It feels tingly at first, like sparks of electricity. Then, it starts to burn and swell, before you lose all feelings in that particular area... Heh. Ironic, isn’t it? How can cold ice feel like it’s burning your skin?”

“....... I suppose it's something you might not be able to wrap your head around unless you've experienced it yourself.”

A/N ⟡ Kit Concept: Great off-field support/sub-DPS for Hydro-wielding characters (specifically Childe), but turns into main/sub-DPS after their Elemental Burst is unleashed (which could also be a good support for Childe as you wait for his Elemental Skill cooldown). Also I imagine if RNG blesses Cov to fire a pistol as a charged attack, in-game Meirin would go "That's my child ;w;" /silly

ー༄ Passive Skills:

Thermoregulatory: Party is immune to cold weather effects.

Avalanche (be upon ye): If the deployed party is entirely composed of Hydro and Cryo characters, including Coviello, opponents affected by Cryo will have their Cryo RES decreased by 10% for 12s.

Legal Hunting: Gains 25% more rewards when dispatched on a Snezhnaya Expedition for 20 hours.

ー༄ Constellations:

C1: Frostnip

Increases the Level of Frostbite by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

C2: Impermafrost ★

Active characters within Cryo field generated by Frostbite are immune to Frozen even when Wet (other elemental reactions with Hydro will still apply).

C3: Permafrost ★

If the opponent is Frozen, increase Frostbite’s Cryo DMG to 1.5x of the current multiplier value for Coviello’s Elemental Mastery.

C4: Hypothermia

Increases the Level of Normal Attack: Advancing in Caution by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

C5: Blizzard

Increases the Level of Ice Burn by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

C6: Gangrene ★

Increases Ice Burn’s Enhanced Normal Attack DMG to 1.5x of the current multiplier value for Coviello’s Elemental Mastery and reduce HP Drain to 4% Max HP per second.

A/N ⟡ Concept: C1-C3 enhances their support/sub-DPS capability, but C4-C6 evolves them into a decent DPS.

ー༄ Idle Animations:

Crosses arms and watches the snow falling.

Sees a duckling on the ground. Crouches to pet it for a few seconds before standing back up.

#rin's adopted children: coviello #rin's character references #rin's queue is serving tea #i wanted to draw some of these but.... hmmm..... might update this again later when i have more time hehe

Only photo of the game unfortunately. It was a tough game that required all my attention.

My opponent (also a imperial fist player) brought:

Praetor and chaplain

X1 templar

X1 cataphractii terminators

X1 leviathan dreadnaught

X2 rhino with 10man tac squad each

X2 preditors

And a proteus tank.

He had strategic advantage and went first.

Opening volleys were taken, and absorbed, by my yellow contemptor and i lost 2 templars. All up pretty good. He moved up to pounce on objectives next turn.

I countered by aggressively moving up templars and contemptors, destryoing a rhino for my efforts.

Turn two: my opponent brought in his terminators in my back line, some more shooting weakened my black contemptor. I counter charged his push to the centre with my yellow contempor. He charged my wounded templar squad, only managing to force a retreat. My contemptor, however, was destroyed, taking out three of his templars on the way down.

My reaction to this was simple: keep the pressure and retake objectives. O brought in my own terminators, but a 1/4 got taken out by the leviathan as they deployed. I moved my black contemptor up forcing my opponents own counter attack reaction. And becasue of that, my healthy templars charged into that same melee. Lastly my command team got into the cataphractii.

The desired result was to take all three objectives, leaving my opponent with vehicles and too many choices. However, the outcome was different. My command squad failed to rout the cataphracti, my dreadnaught and templars lost the centre. And my terminators did minimal damage to tac marines.

This outcome meant I only had few assets left, and in his third and fourth turn, it wasnt hard to keep the pressure on me and deny scoring.

It was a good game and a tough one.

rewatching house md for the first time after working in healthcare for almost a decade (part 1/?)

the first episode itself is already so funny. the physicians themselves went to the radiology department to oversee a contrasted MRI scan (no that doesn't happen irl fyi) and when the patient had some sort of reaction and crashed during scan, one person attempted intubation x1 failed so they just proceeded with tracheostomy? without letting her coworkers present there to give it a shot first? without calling for anesthetist to try and intubate? bRUH YOU'RE IN A HOSPITAL NOT ON THE FIELD

Mega Man Zero 3 Ending: I am Zero

So one thing I forgot to talk about until now is Cyber Space: there are Cyber Space doors in each level that allow you to enter Cyber Space versions of the levels. All of your Cyber Elves are activated at once without them dying and enemies always drop health. It’s basically God Mode though you are penalized by 5 points at the end of the mission.

I only enter it in the second to last level because you can actually fight a secret boss this way: the deceased Phantom from Zero 1, establishing that upon dying a reploid’s programming goes to Cyber Space thus functioning as a form of afterlife for them.

Though this raises the question: did the same apply to Robot Masters? Or are Mega Man and the gang completely....you know....

Anyway by beating him you get the Ultima Chip which allows you to have all leg chip abilities on at once

Zero also basically kills two babies! And I find it hilarious how neither him nor especially Ciel have any reaction about it!

So the scene where Weil mind controls every Reploid on Earth is awesome and all but it’s always bugged me how they never explain why Zero and X are not affected, simply noticing that they’re not

If I had to give my own explanation well the Dark Elf can control Reploids and, at this point, neither X nor Zero are technically Reploids

X is a Cyber Elf, one powerful enough to negate the Dark Elf’s powers within an area

And Zero was technically never a Reploid to begin with as reploids are made from X’s technology while Zero is 100% Wily’s creation. Granted Zero’s current body is a replica made presumably using standard reploid tech but his programming is still Wily’s original

But then we see that even the Guardians seem to be unaffected. The only explanation I can come up with is that, since they were made by specifically using X’s very DNA, thus making them far closer to X than your average reploid (remember: in the X series X was so advanced that Dr.Cain couldn’t fully understand what made him tick and thus created the reploids based on said faulty understanding), and so also immune to the Dark Elf’s control

The final battle against Omega unfortunately suffers greatly from this late game balancing issue regarding difficulty: he’s just not nearly hard enough given all the hype around him. Yeah you could limit yourself by not using Cyber Elves, but it’s not like I used them super liberally either and I still barely had to spend a Sub Tank across 3 phases.

Speaking of which, some fans take issue with how Zero barely reacts to the revelation that he’s living in a copy body and that he now has to destroy his original. In general some people criticize Zero era Zero for being an emotionless drone

I’ve....never had such issues. With Zero 1 and to a lesser extent Zero 2? Yeah he barely speaks there. But here and especially in the next one?

Yeah Zero is generally more taciturn and stoic here than in most X games, whether due to the writers giving a different take or due to his amnesia and current circumstances just not giving him many chances to be very cheery

But once you peel back the surface this is still very much the same Zero as always

Zero was introduced in X1 as a no-nonsense kind of guy who takes shit very seriously, has a sense of justice and will support his friends (X specifically) by encouraging them when they’re doubting themselves, being very blunt in how he conveied said support and not very mushy, his no nonsense attitude showing even here: he flat out tells X that he has no chance in beating Vile as he is now but will grow capable of it and of beating Sigma and caps it all off by saying “X, I know you can do it!”

And that’s exactly how Zero acts here with Ciel: always giving her moral support whenever she’s feeling down and unsure about what to do next, ensuring her that she’s doing the right thing and that he has faith in her. He’s not all hugs and kisses, he just tells her straight up what he thinks very bluntly but also weirdly gently too

Zero also never once gave Sigma the time of day whenever he tried to toy with him with his unknown dark origins: in X2, when Sigma tells him that he was “destined to join him” Zero tells him that he’s not interested.

In X4 when Sigma toys with him by reminding him that he used to be a Maverick Zero literally tells him “Yeah and?”

In X5, when faced with the blatant truth that he was built for an evil purpose, Zero STILL tells Sigma to shut up and fight

Zero doesn’t bend easily, he mostly tries not to let his doubts about his past meddle with his present. He has his moments of doubt, like when he kept wondering about his dreams of Wily at the start of X4 or in that conversation with Dr.Light in X5, or how in the latter game he’s visibly afraid of the effect that the Virus is having on him. But he never breaks, he never keels over and cries. The only time that he does is when he kills Iris but that was an extreme situation even for him

Throughout this game Zero is indeed shown to be somewhat pensive about all the times a character makes cryptic comments about “his body” or about why would the Dark Elf know his name (although X could’ve really cleared the latter up for him huh). In the ending when Ciel reassures him that he is still Zero in her eyes he quietly says her name and then thanks her genuinely, implying that he was harboring inner doubts, but was bottling them up because he had bigger fish to fry

The way he reacts to Weil’s big revelation about Omega is perfectly in-character, just pointing out the logical hole in the idea of the legendary hero being a puppet for a madman for no reason

(Fun fact: the design of Omega’s outer armor is actually based on Zero’s X era design, which can be seen by the shape of the ponytail, the shape of the helmet, the sword on his back and the somewhat squared shoulder pads. I only noticed in recent years when someone pointed it out)

I mean just saying: a character reacting to a startling revelation about themselves with lots of angst isn’t always required, especially if it would be out of character for them. Sometimes a character not bending to whatever happens to them can be good: not all characters are meant to be relatable and vulnerable, some are written to be inspiring, to be looked up to as anchors. Zero mostly falls into the latter category. He’s not X

Oh also X is pretty much dead now. I would normally be angry about such a long running character getting such a quick send off but X has technically been dead since before the series started, only appearing as a ghost to help out whenever possible. Now he’s just completely passing on. Given that the X series is not over I think it should be up to it to depict X’s final living moments, even if we already know roghly how they will play out.

wip word search game: part two

tagged by @teejaystumbles & @hardly-an-escape ❤️

words: blanket, bread, thunder, tired, game, difficult, admit, shine, tense, fall, mind.

none for blanket, bread, or thunder.

game - chapter two of distraction (reaction)

“Johanna Constantine?" Matthew is silent for a moment as he hops along the steps, seemingly making a game of leaping between them without the use of his wings. It is endearing somehow, in the same way many things about Matthew have started to be. 

difficult - chapter two of reciprocation

Hob's hands inch up his chest as if they've finally been granted permission. He traces over each of Dream's ribs, follows the curve of Dream's pectoral muscles with his fingertips, drawing nonsense patterns so close to where Dream wants him, to where he is most sensitive. Dream's shirt is bunched awkwardly at his neck by the time Hob is done, but then the pad of a thumb brushes his nipple and he finds it difficult to care. The touch is nothing more than a tease, infuriatingly light, and yet Dream's hips still stutter upward. "Here?"

admit - chapter two of reciprocation

The truth makes him feel small, makes him feel just a little bit broken. But there's a relief, too, in admitting it out loud. He does not always need to hide, not when Hob is so patient with him. "We can start with what I know you like," Hob offers, after a long moment spent simply touching. His hands are splayed over Dream's ribcage, his breath sending goosebumps scattering over the pale skin of Dream's stomach.

shine - chapter two of reciprocation

When they kiss, Dream is mesmerized, stuck on the way Hob's mouth reddens after being nipped at, the shine of his bottom lip, the softness countering the familiar scrape of his stubble. All of it is an odd kind of torture, and every time Hob catches Dream staring feels more egregious than the last.

tense & fall - chapter two of break me shake me

Hob laughs. It's a bitter, broken sound. "You are. Fuck, you're unbelievable. You can't just let me be happy, can you?" Something about the question hits home, like cold water over the heat of Dream's anger. He doesn't say anything for a long moment, and Hob forces himself to stay still, to not lean into the pale hand still cupping his face. They're standing so close that Hob can see the specs of gray in Dream's eyes, can see the rise and fall of his chest, the hard line of his body tense like a coiled spring. 

mind x1 - chapter two of distraction (reaction)

"You know, I'm glad you chose him," Matthew says, loud enough to startle in the otherwise silence of the throne room. The image of Hob crumbles to dust in Dream's mind's eye before he can even properly chastise himself for conjuring it in the first place. "For a minute there, I thought you were gonna jump into bed with that brunette in the white trench coat."

mind x2 - chapter two of reciprocation

Keeping his mind from wandering is impossible after that. Reciprocation, he thinks, and he allows himself to imagine how it might feel. Dream would not need much, could do almost all the work and find his release with nothing but his own hand and the promise of Hob's open mouth waiting for him. He can picture it clearly, something low in his gut burning hot at the thought. Hob on his knees, staring up from underneath his eyelashes, waiting patiently with the flat of his tongue exposed. 

not going to tag anyone else because I feel like this game's been done by nearly everyone. just wanted to share a few snips since I haven't had anything complete to post lately.

Info: The white hairs on Paldean Caterpie’s back can cause allergic reactions in humans and pokemon if touched. They can eat up to five times their weight in plant matter per day.

Multiple Paldean Metapod can be found grouping together in pine and cedar trees. They cover themselves in a blanket of silk in order to protect them from the elements and potential predators.

Paldean Butterfree are mostly nocturnal, feeding off the nectar of flowers under a cover of darkness. The scales that fall from their wings with each flap are highly toxic.

Fueled by dynamax energy, Gigantamax Paldean Butterfree let loose a cloud of toxic dust and it’s irritating hairs, making the air around it impossible to breath.

I think I have been following u for a long time so seeing the expansion for zb1… def would love the content of u decide to post it 🥹

With all the matthew discourse, I def have some stuff planned for him. I do have some fluffy reactions so they can be ot9. I think it might be like x1 where I was a hoe for 2seung, except the two in question this time being ricky and matthew. I might need requests for the other members because the idea bank is not idea banking for them if you know what I mean

#anon #i'm happy to hear you've been following ;-; i always think i'm talking to the void here #ily <3 #zb1

[elympios]

i don’t believe it ever happens in the game but does ANYONE from x1 explain to ludger that they’re why the schism was dispelled because i think he would have some sort of reaction to it

it’s probably in a skit somewhere but i’m still slogging through the character episodes right now (and suffering because they’re fucking awful lmao)

#i think the manga explained it but i haven't checked #v #x2
