Bullfrog and Rayman/Ramon x g/n reader : taking a bullet for them
I’ve had this little idea for a while now , so I decided to finally sit and write it down !
You see , while I’m the biggest fan of anything regarding fluff I do enjoy a bit of angst sometimes too , so I ended up getting a rush of inspiration imagining the reader protecting the boys with them getting all worried afterwards :,I
I’ll definitely start working on the requests I received as soon as I can by the way , I just like to post some personal works whenever I get inspired … also because I literally can’t stop it when that happens :,)
Anyway , hope this turned out okay !
Details : use of gender neutral reader ;
established relationships ;
presence of blood , bullet wounds , occasional swearing and general angst with following fluff
Bullfrog 💚
As soon as he turns around and sees you drop on your knees , clutching the bleeding wound with a hiss of pain , Bullfrog immediately drops everything he’s doing and rushes towards you , ignoring the bullets flying in his direction :
he has to get you out of there … he has to do it fast … nothing else matters …
His small but strong arms pick you and he carries you away from the raging battlefield , the sensation of your blood dripping on his hands filling him with fear …
No matter what the Warden will have to say about this setback , the safety of his beloved is top priority .
When he finally puts you down after reaching a safe spot , Bullfrog can feel the crushing weight of his guilt taking over his every thought , enough to almost make him dizzy …
He knows full well that that bullet was meant for him .
He should’ve noticed it sooner … why didn’t he notice it sooner ?
Maybe then you wouldn’t have jumped forward to shield him …
This … this was all his fault .
The sound of you coughing out blood is what makes Bullfrog snap back to reality .
< B … Bullfrog … ? >
< Yes y/n , I’m here , I’m right here mon amour , you’re going to be okay , I promise … you just have to stay awake . >
His voice sounds so soothing and sweet ( tough a bit raspy after his crazy escape ) , and while he begins to take off your coat to get a better look at the wound you can’t help but smile a little in front of his sheer devotion to you …
His movements are gentle but quick , and before you can even process what’s happening Bullfrog has already patched you up to prevent you from losing any more blood …
It’s now that the situation is under control that he brings it up .
< You really shouldn’t have done that , y/n . If the bullet hit you someplace else with some more precision you could’ve died . >
You look down at the floor of the alleyway you’re both currently hiding in , feeling his worried eyes on you .
< I … I’m sorry . I didn’t really think it through …
I panicked : you were in danger and I didn’t want you to get hurt , I just … didn’t know what else to do … >
Bullfrog’s gaze softens , and before you know it you feel his arms around you , holding you carefully to avoid hurting you more …
< I know , mon cher … you’re always looking out for me , and I love you so much for that reason alone , but please don’t ever do something like that ever again :
je … je ne peux pas te perdre . >
You gladly lean into his loving embrace , hugging him back as the pain brought by the wound in your waist disappears momentarily :
you were just thankful to have Bullfrog by your side , and thankful for his endless love and care for you .
Rayman 🧡
It takes some time for Rayman to realize that an unidentified man just tried to shoot him while the two of you were walking back home after that night’s date , and it’s when he hears your sharp breaths and sees your blood staining his shoes that he fully takes in what happened …
< Y/N !!! >
He rushes towards you , panic taking over him as his shaky hands get a hold of you :
you’re hurt … you’re hurt really bad , and it’s all because you protected him .
< Oh - oh g-god - ohmygod —
I can’t … I gotta - H-HELP !!! >
It doesn’t take long for someone to notice what is going on , and before you know it you can hear the deafening noise coming from the sirens of the ambulance and the many police cars all around the street , as well as a familiar voice …
< Are they going to be okay ?? W-will they live ???
Please , they have to live … they have to … >
Unfortunately you can’t bring yourself to listen further : soon the loss of blood makes you pass out , your blurry vision slowly fading to black as the last thing you feel is someone picking you up from the ground .
Rayman really isn’t handling what happened very well , and the days following the incident are absolutely awful for him …
He ends up drinking a lot more , unable to eat and let alone sleep , and whenever he receives the inevitable calls from the Board of Directors “inviting” him to pull himself together for his show’s sake , he completely loses it …
< Don’t you understand ?? My . Partner . Got . FUCKING SHOT !!!
I might never s-see them again , and you want me to “keep it together” ?!? >
Whenever he stays up at night , waiting for any sorts of news about your condition from the hospital , Rayman can do nothing but silently pray that you’re going to be fine … that he will be able to hold you and kiss you again , and that it’s not all lost …
… but deep down he really isn’t sure if that’s what’s going to happen , and that terrifies him more than anything .
Then finally , one morning he receives the awaited news :
you’re alive , you’re feeling a lot better and , most importantly , you’re actually on your way to his lounge ( the last part being a little something you planned to surprise him ) .
Rayman is overjoyed , and when he hears a knock on the door and sees your beautiful smile waiting for him behind it he can’t contain himself anymore …
< Oh y/n … y/n my love … I-I’m so glad you’re okay , I missed you so much ! >
He hugs you tightly , sobbing next to your ear , and inevitably you end up crying too …
< I’m here Ray … I’m right here , I’m never leaving you again , I promise … >
You let out a sigh when Rayman’s lips meet yours , locking them in a loving , passionate kiss …
The two of you really needed it , after everything that’s happened .
Ramon 🖤
Oh boy is he enraged …
After a moment of silent shock , he glares at that one member of the Board of Directors security that had the guts to harm his darling …
< You … PIECE OF SHIT !!! >
Without any regards at all for his safety he rushes towards the man , shooting at him multiple times … even after his dead body has long since hit the floor .
It takes him a while to calm down , but after taking a few deep , shaky breath , Ramon finally rushes towards you , using his coat to stop the bullet wound from bleeding .
< Hiss - >
< I know it hurts … but you’re gonna be okay love , just … just bear with me , okay … ? I got you … >
You nod in response , a little smile appearing on your face as he leans down to kiss your forehead .
After a few minutes , you start to feel less dizzy than before , and similarly to Bullfrog it’s only then that Ramon confronts you about what happened .
< Now … we really gotta talk about this , y/n , cause I am not about to lose the only person that gives me hope in this hell because they decide to shield me from a bullet without any regard for themselves and their safety . >
< I … *cough* … I had to though , it would’ve hit y - >
You can feel Ramon’s hands on your shoulders , and when you look up at him you can see a very serious expression on his face …
< y/n . I mean it .
I need you to look at me and promise to never take a bullet for me again .
I … I wouldn’t be able to go on if you were gone … do you understand … ? >
Your quietly listen to him , your eyes never leaving his , and when you lean forward to give him a little kiss on the nose you hear him sigh softly …
< I won’t … I promise .
I love you , Ram … sorry for making you worry . >
Ramon smiles in response , holding you closer to him while the sun sets behind the window , illuminating the two of you and the corpses of the Board of Directors around the room …
< I love you too , y/n … very , very much . >

Did what they did with Jade and Pey'j in Captain Laserhawk bother you, too?
SPOILERS AND RAGE BELOW
I AM SO ANGRY YOU HAVE NO IDEA
Beyond Good and Evil fans got SHAFTED BAD. THEY GOT DONE SO BAD AND IM LIVID.
All these muppets going ‘lol the Rayman fandom must be so upset about Laserhawk’ and NO.
NO WE ARE THRIVING WE ARE SO CRAZED AND STARVED AND WE ARE ON CLOUD NINE THAT OUR BOY GOT ALL THIS SCREENTIME
In the first trailer for Laserhawk Rayman was an EASTER EGG. We didn’t even know if he’d have a role with speaking lines until the second trailer. AND WE WERE OK WITH THAT! If baby bean was just a background element to expand the world we would have been happy for the crumbs. But no! Our boy got a full speaking role with a CHARACTER ARC IN A SIX EPISODE SHOW. He got BACKSTORY and RELEVANCE TO THE PLOT. And he DIDN’T GET KILLED OFF.
All that for a character we were expecting to get NOTHING from.
But JADE?!
PEY’J???
They were front and centre from the first trailer. They were established as being as central as Dolph and Bullfrog and WHAT DID IT GET THEM.
Jade gets taken out in ep 2 of 6, and Pey’j goes down the next episode.
At LEAST Pey’j went down being exactly what I expected him to be. A kind protector trying to make the world better. Trying to stop conflict. Trying not to take his pain and suffering from the loss of a girl he loved deeply out on an unfair world. He died a noble if pointless death and from Bullfrog’s expression alone we can see how much it hurt.
JADE GOT NOTHING. Jade died when we barely knew her. We needed more of her. We wanted to see her shine, see more of this wonderful awkward tomboy with a gentle heart. We needed to see how she interacted with others. She DESERVED BETTER. SHE DIDN'T EVEN GET ANY FINAL WORDS.
AND DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THE ‘I HAVE FEELINGS FOR YOU’ SCENE OR I WILL SNAP AND PUNCH SOMETHING. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
In a show where I watched my favourite childhood character swearing, wielding guns and doing sushi and blow off a hookers back THIS JADE AND PEY’J SCENE IS WHAT MADE ME CRINGE.
I am willing to forgive so much from this show. So much of it was a wonderful, ridiculous, beautifully animated rollercoaster.
But implying any kind of romantic sentiment between these two characters only to kill one of them off in the same episode was so damn weird. It was wrong on so many levels. There was NOTHING WRONG with their older mentor/young ward relationship. It could have been great. I don’t understand why they did this. It didn’t add pressure or gravitas to the situation, we KNOW Pey’j would do anything for Jade, HE DOESN’T HAVE TO HAVE A CRUSH ON HER FOR THAT TO BE REAL.
And seeing Jade and Pey’j in Dolph’s VR dream sequence just felt so hollow. We needed at least an episode to establish any kind of team energy from these four, but we didn’t so seeing Jade give Dolph a pep talk about relaxing more came off as flakey and not good enough for a character who deserved better. They didn’t even establish what Jade and Pey’j were supposed to bring to the team. Pey’j is just ‘the tech guy’ in the same episode he dies. Jade has to play a femme fatale against her type but we don’t even get to see her being her best. To quote Rayman ‘IT’S NOT FAIR’.
Oh boy.
I feel a little better getting that anger out. I’m just sad. I’m sad we lost them. They deserved better.
