Starter || @valorheroics​ || Abi The wind is a gentle reminder that the chill that runs through his body is due to nerves rather than the indecisive weather. Hands clamp and squeeze his knees while eyes bounce from one side to the other. It's almost been a year since he's last seen her and it still felt as if they barely made it past step one. Of course, the werewolves terrorizing them throughout the night were partly to blame—he was no exception. His memories of the night were fuzzy at best, struggling to connect the dots that made her feel so far away.
She felt so ... distant, now. The whole summer he thought they grew to know one another and now they felt no different than strangers. He remembered staring at sunsets she painted with shy smiles and tentative words that warmed his heart in ways he couldn't describe and now they've lost their color, their meaning. What was once tender and beautiful felt blinding and unbearable.
A lump slides down his throat the more he thinks about what he could possibly say to bridge the swelling gap between them and his mind comes up empty, far too afraid of what gave the gap the space in the first place. Nick's insecurities make it difficult to relax, nearly missing the subtle crunch of leaves calling for him to look their way.
Tumblr media
"..." Words fail him where he needs them most, fumbling the second she's come. "It's ... been a while." Awkwardly, he debates standing from his spot on the bench, instead just sliding over to offer her a seat.

Hi! If it's possible can I request a version of f!Mc and friends with Rook or Azul? (whichever is easier to write) I’m loving the series thank you for writing it! (o^ ^o)
Rook👏 it👏is👏. He may not be in my top 5 but there is SOMETHING about him. He is so predictable but for that the man goes full out. Literally wears his heart on his sleeve so much that there is no need to think about what he would ponder to himself/keep to himself. Nah. The guy has no filter, he just does and says it👏. Rook also holds nothing back and is kinda crazy?? And too much into his 'hunter' thing?? It's great for writing though, I can also go full out lol
Female!MC and Friends - Rook Hunt
Tumblr media
Wohohohoho. Rook Hunt.
A true enigmatic yet predictable charmer from beginning to end.
He is awfully nice and kind despite his oddball behaviour. Loyal to a fault while knowing which side to choose. His view of 'beauty' proves itself to be more than just superficial.
He sees it in everyone equally. Including you...
When He Spends Helloween With You...
Oh boy. Hoooo boy! Someone tell wannabe Dracula that this is just cosplay!
Rook lives for the vampire act - so much so that he seems to become one. No other needed to bite and turn him - he has the passion for it all on his own.
Beginning from when dusk fell and stalking through the dorm and the makeshift graveyards, dancing under the stars as he hovers close and closer to all that appraoch him carelessly...while greeting them with his fangs...
It's quite ironic. Since he was always so keen on hunters, you'd think he'd rather hunt monsters than become one. Au contrair! Rook is open for all kinds of roles...
The guy sticks close and attempts to scare you with the classic Dracula stick - his shadow passing by the bushes, seeing a glimpse of his cape as he ever so slowly stalks behind you and hands goofily shooting up like in a cartoon.
"It is quite late for young ladies such as yourself to roam around..."
Rook. Please.
You are no Dracula, Alucard, Nosferatu - whatever it is, you ain't it.
Well, if you are able to say that. Perhaps it does spook you to have someone creep up from behind but seeing it's just Rook, you are sure to calm down.
He might ask for candy but is definitely the type to tend to give you sweets instead. Mademoiselle, you look terrifiyingly beautiful! (get it) Here, take these sweets!
However, will also ask you to give your best scare! A monster is only truly a monster when their heart is wicked, no? And wicked hearts terrifiy humans.
Will give a little laugh when you fail. Not out of mockery but, hey, you did try! Still, have some candy. Don't tell Vil.
Doesn't stop talking about Helloween. The makeshift horror, the beauty of the night, the calling of darkness, the mieschief when it comes to candy...he's really living it. Would like to have you enjoy the night as much as he does.
A haunted house? Oh my, how exciting! We cannot let such a moment not be seized! To the horrors!
Gracefully links his arm with yours. He is still a charmer as ever and insists that vampires are one of the most charming monsters out there. So he cannot disappoint you~
Winks as he takes your hand and guides you into the lion's den~ Fear not, this vampire shall protect you.
Treats you a bit as a damsel in distress mixed with his captive. Vampires are graceful and gentlemen but also...selfish. Lonely. Longing. Monsters.
Well, only if you are into vampires as well!
It's hard to imagine him getting scared but rather indulges in these spooks. Heartily laughing. Tres bìen! How wonderful this terror is! Everyone put such effort into everything!
Takes you under his cape. Does mademoiselle seek shelter in his magical cape?! Calm down Rook
Protects you but keeps reminding you that accepting his protection is accepting to become his~
Rook. Pls. Bro, come on.
When He...Proposes To A Ghost?!
GASP
ROOK WAS BORN FOR THIS.
No matter if alive or not, Rook will be sure to have everyone get the love they deserve!
A great romanticist. It is all so beautiful, all so magical. Like in a fairy tale! Oh, he'll gladly play prince charming!
And of course to be worthy for the great, dead princess, Rook will be sure to ask you to practice with him. You do not even need to do much! Just play the part and see if you'll fall in love with him.
Rook is something more, distinctively more than just a mere prince charming. His actions, his words, his gifts are something no royal would think of, the most lovesick fool would not think of! The play and the dozens upon dozens of poems he thinks of in a span of minutes and the flowers he so gently plucks the thorns off before offering them to you - you might actually fall for him!
Don't tell him that though. He might not stop.
It is...confusing for the heart. He treats you not like nobility, but like royalty, a red rose in a maze of daisies. The names he so fondly bestows you seem even more...longingly dreamy, as if the mere utter of your nickname feels like sculpting your perfect face. He shall say it perfectly with the utmost love as to not to insult you.
His dance movements are swift and light, his poems escape his lips like birds out of cages and even his gaze seems so....genuine?
This is what it makes it so hard. Rook is through and through genuine.
The most candid student you know and just like his openness, his kindness is abundant.
The princess MUST fall for him! There is no other perfect match!
"Oh, you think so? Mademoiselle, your praise delights me and makes my heart free like a bird! ...But, I'd rather stay here with you."
OMG OMG OMG HUUUH???!?!?!?!?!
WAIT WAIT WHAT DOES HE MEAN
When He...Hunts You Down...
Oh, my, oh my...what a predicament.
In this Beans Fest, it looks like Rook will be the monster and you the hunter...yet you do know that it really isn't the case, right?
Rook will always be the hunter. Of guards. Of monsters. Of your heart.
Try to trick him, try to find him. You are supposed to be the one playing the hero yet Rook takes the initiative like it is his instinct.
Finding you is his instinct.
He takes a certain glee and excitement while playing this wonderous game! Why, he cannot stop himself from chasing and challenging you!
Deep in his heart, the thought of you being his prey is exciting~
Go on, do your best!
Things do get...odd.
You often find yourself facing Rook several times in the forest all alone.
He appraoches you and exchanges words and tips...some of survival, some of how to hunt down his own teammates and their weaknesses.
You joke how this feels like a meeting between enemies...but more like between opposing phantom thieves or rivals in a game.
Magnifique! Exactly like that, sustain an energy just like that!
He'll play around but he does not really wish to defeat you...he kind of wants you to win. But alas, he might as well have his fun and meet up with you. A forbidden love between two opposing teams spiced up with excitment and a clear winner.

Essence
Pairings: Clone Veteran (from Kenobi) Tai x f!Reader
Warnings: hoooo boy, there's some spice at the end of this one, but also some hurt/comfort feelings mixed in! oral (m receiving) and lots of dirty talk, hint of voyeurism and possible dom/sub vibes?
Notes: I really loved this chapter and I had fun playing around with their dynamic again. As for the filthy part, I don't have much real world experience with this particular act, so I hope it came out okay 💀
[previous chapter]
Tumblr media
The marshal is wicked clever. She’s arranges for a tent for the two of you to share until morning, which isn’t far away but at least you’ll be able to get some rest before journeying back to town, and she spends the rest of the night making peace and special arrangements with the Tuskens.
Tuskens. Not Sand People. They are the stewards of the planet, according to Tilelli, the original people who cultivated the land and grew into a civilization. Not monsters, not a people to be feared but simply to be respected. And several nearby tribes all have peace with Mos Nefta thanks to her, this happened to be a desperate time and a special case of drought that has prevented their usual water sources from manifesting this season. The tribe is sick. That’s why they stole, that’s why Tai was endangered and Nej was injured. Not because of savage bloodlust, but because of desperate fear. You can understand this, but you’re still wary of them.
You do appreciate the tent, though. There are blankets and robes, and the walls of the tent are substantial enough to keep yours and Tai’s body heat in. It’s the first time in well over a week that you’ve both been able to be alone, although it feels like so much longer, and you’ve managed to worm yourself under his clothes and against his skin, a whisper of normalcy in the chaos that has become your life of late.
“Missed you,” you whisper into his sternum. It’s punctuated with a feather-light kiss to his skin.
His voice rumbles deep in his chest. “I’m here now, my love.”
There’s so much you want to say and it’s been weighing on you for a while now, but this doesn’t feel like the time or place to say it. You’re hesitant to shatter the beauty of the moment, to say anything that would even slightly push him away. You need him pressed against the entire length of you because you need to know for certain that he’s here with you.
“Don’t ever leave me again.”
You can feel his smile against the top of your head. “Couldn’t get rid of me if you tried, mesh’la.”
Another kiss to his chest, this one somewhere above his heart. “What’s that mean?”
“Beautiful.”
Oh, you like that. You gift him with another kiss in response, slightly higher than the last and more prolonged. The tent is too dark to make out his face, but that doesn’t matter. You have his face committed to memory already. “Should use that on you sometime, old man.”
“That’s the wrong word,” he chuckles. “Not meant for the likes of me.”
“Shut up.” Your fingers map out the approximate shape of his cheek and then lightly swat him there. “You’re beautiful to me. Your eyes, your smile.” Are you imagining it or is your chest literally aching with love for him? “I love the way your cheeks dimple. I love you, the way you smell.” Your nose drags up his chest to his neck where you bury yourself in him. Warm and sturdy. Safe. Home. “Mesh’la.” The word is strange on your tongue, but you love the way it sounds.
The dunes are quiet and the Tuskens have mellowed into assorted snoring patterns. You think you catch a hint of Tilelli’s voice at one point, but it’s too faint to be sure.
“You were brave today.”
And it makes you laugh because you felt anything but. “Well, you didn’t see me before. I wasn’t so brave then.”
“Doesn’t matter,” he says. “You’ve been brave for so many days. Too many.” He prompts your head back so he can kiss you properly. “I’m proud of you.”
Don’t be, you could say. Or, it was nothing. Let’s talk about something different. You could say a dozen different things to dismiss him in the wake of your embarrassment, and you almost do, but ultimately you don’t. It’s been a lot and you’ve had no choice but to be brave or lose him. So you accept the compliment for what it is.
“Thank you.”
“Don’t ever do it again, though,” and you’re sure he’s only half serious. “Scared the life out of me, girl.”
“You scared me. I was worried sick!” Skin meets skin as you slap your hand on his chest and push. “Maybe if you weren’t getting yourself into trouble all the time.”
He’s as quiet as the desert then, and it hits you that he’s taken your light-hearted barb as something infinitely more serious than first intended. Your hands find his face and you swear you can just the glinting of light in his eyes if you tilt your head just so.
“Not like that, Tai. Honey, no. Don’t… don’t do that.”
“You’re right, though,” he says after a moment. “This is all my fault.”
No no no no no no no, how can he even think that? Is he serious? Everything that’s happened and he’s blaming himself? You start to protest it because how could you possibly continue to let him blame himself for things beyond his control when he shushes you, runs his hands over your shoulders to calm you, a cue to wait. So you do.
The rough edges of his accent have become guttural after this pause, and the evidence of his guilt is there in the way his voice cracks and drops at the end. “I don’t deserve you. Never have. I’ve tried, but I’ll always be a soldier.”
“I don’t care.”
“You should. I’ve killed people.”
The time before the Empire’s rise is hazy at best. The history holos tell one story and those who actually lived say nothing at all, but you have glimpses of memories that don’t match the propaganda you’ve been fed. You know there were Jedi once, a great and powerful race of magicians, but you’d never known much about them before they were wiped out. You know the clones were an army that served at the Jedi’s side, and you know that they helped to quell their rebellion. You don’t understand the politics of it, you weren’t paying that much attention. You were too busy trying to stay afloat in Daiyu’s constant waves of crime and chaos.
You’ve never pressed him for it. What happened in the past is just that – it’s over and done with. You love him for who he is now and for the joy he’s brought to your life. But ever since that night, it’s become more and more obvious that his past still seeps into his present and yours.
You swallow. “I know. It comes with the job. I, I don’t hate you for that, Tai. You know that, right?” He shifts beneath you and you can feel his agitation bubbling up on his tongue, eager to spill out and pin everything on his own shoulders, and you’re not letting that happen. “Stop. I don’t care what you did in the past, it doesn’t define you. I don’t define you by what you were. You’re not a killer to me, you’re not some homeless guy on the streets to me. You’re my person. I’d give up everything for you, okay? I did. And I don’t regret it. If this is anyone’s fault, it’s mine. I shouldn’t have done what I did, I shouldn’t have put my hands on that trooper, but I did. I… I saw them hurt you and, I don’t know, I snapped. We’re here because of me and it kills me every day.”
This wasn’t how you wanted the night to go. You wanted to bask in his presence, bathe in his warmth for a handful of moments before reality came crashing back in and you had to return to Ilo’s front room, to that stupid bar and its stupid patrons. You wanted to pretend for a single second that things were quasi-normal. How foolish you’d been to think that reality wouldn’t force its way back into your little fantasy.
Everything is suddenly too hot. His skin grates on yours, not because of him but because of you. Because you’re ashamed and he’s touching you and he shouldn’t. Fuck. You go swinging up into a sitting position, curling in on yourself as the blanket pools in your lap and his hands falls away.
“I’m sorry,” and it’s little more than a broken sigh. “You work so kriffing hard every day and it breaks my heart. You were tired on Daiyu and you’re more tired here, you’re exhausted, and it’s all my fault!”
One of Tai’s hands lands on your wrist. It burns you up inside. “What are you talking about?”
“This. Don’t you hate me for this? For having to come here?”
“I could never hate you-“
“And I could never hate you!”
Why are you angry? Why is it suddenly rushing over you like a storm, eating you up, charging your body with its electricity? Why is it so damn dark when all you want is to see his beautiful, beautiful face and hold him forever?
“I just hate this. I hate that stupid name I have to go by, I hate that I can’t just be me. I hate that we had to run because of me being an idiot. I hate that we can’t live together on our own, alone. I hate that I can’t touch you because Ilo might hear, or because maybe you’re angry with me, because I disappointed you. I hate that I’m not strong like you and Cody are. And I hate those stormtroopers and I hate the Empire, and I hate what they did to you.”
“Sweetheart,” he starts to chant, a gentle, pleading thing that urges you onto your side again, back in his arms and flush against his chest. He does his best to calm you and you do your best to let him, even though you feel like shit. “This wasn’t your fault.”
You sniffle. “And it wasn’t yours.”
His breath fans out across your face. “Then it isn’t either of ours.”
And you’re okay with that. The guilt still lingers in your belly and you can still feel it tight in his chest, but it’s a step toward self-forgiveness for both of you and that’s enough for now. It has to be. It will be.
He guides you both onto your backs with the blanket pulled up over your shoulders and under your chin. The weight of his hand is gentle on your cheek, a reminder not to let yourself drift too far away, just like the palm of your hand on his sternum does the same to him. You fall asleep like that, alone for the first time in forever and almost content.
Tumblr media
The way back to town isn’t nearly as arduous as the way out of it was. This time Tai is being carried on the back of a bantha instead of dragged behind it. This time he has a blaster tucked into his waistband, taken off his love’s hip so you needn’t carry that burden for him; he’ll protect you both. This time the marshal is with them and she’s a remarkable negotiator, so he feels safer, a hair more at ease. It’s a bit like having a CO again. She knows more about these people and this land than he does, she has the tactical and intellectual advantage, but he trusts her and he’ll follow her orders. It’s oddly comforting to fall into that pattern again, and only mildly disconcerting if he allows it to be.
The war is over, he reminds himself, this is different.
And different it is because he never had you around back then. He wonders how his life would have been different, how he would have been different. Not that it changes anything. He’d rather have you now after it’s all over than to have you and potentially lose you back then. Still, it’s curious.
His hand settles at the arm draped around his ribcage and it tightens almost immediately. He smiles. There’s a lot on his mind right now, but it feels so small in comparison to this, to the simplicity of your touch, your cheek on his shoulder. It’s hard to see what’s going on back there, but he swivels his head around anyway and is happy to see you awake. Your eyes flicker to him and dank farrik, he could melt right then and there.
You’re so beautiful.
Perhaps that’s just his heart talking, perhaps he’s incredibly biased, but he doesn’t care. You’re beautiful and you’re his.
“We there yet?” you croak. Your voice has been scratchy since you woke up, likely due to the night air, but he can still pick up on your sarcasm. There you are.
“Getting bored, are you?”
“Mm, bored of the bantha, love, not you.”
“Shame,” he sighs, “I like it. I was thinking I might keep it.”
You snicker and rub your cheek into his shoulder blade. “Oh yeah? We gonna keep it in the bathroom or the kitchen?”
He scratches his chin thoughtfully. “Could share the room with Ilo.”
“Oh Maker, I’d rather live outside than with the two of them.”
Tatooine is not his favorite place in the galaxy, in fact it’s pretty low on the list, but it is in this one moment because it’s where your laughter is. It’s where you are. It’s where your arms wrap around him and your body heat seeps into his skin, miserable though it is at midday, but he’ll never complain about it so long as you’re with him.
The rest of the ride home passes slowly – he’d never really realized just how much sand there was until then – and Tai’s grateful when the party halts at Nej’s dwelling, a structure very similar to the one you, he, and Cody had stayed the night in in Mos Eisley. He slides off first to help you down, but he never lets you stray far; he keeps your hand tight in his. It’s here that Tilelli thanks the Tusken guides that had accompanied them and they amble sluggishly back the way they came.
She flicks the brim of her hat so the entire thing shifts to rests at her hairline. It’s more of her hair than he’s ever seen and even so, it’s just a few dark, wispy strands. “Right then, you two. ‘fore we head down there, I wanna make sure we’re all clear.”
You frown, but nod. Tai inclines his head a bit.
“I’ll explain everythin’ – how we found ya, the deal I struck, you two don’t hafta say a word. Probably be better comin’ from me since y’all are newcomers. Don’t wanna stir the pot much.”
“Thank you.”
Tilelli takes his offered hand and shakes it, smiling. “My pleasure, Tai.”
It doesn’t register with him for a minute because that’s his name, why shouldn’t she call him by it? But then he remembers where he and who he’s supposed to be. And he looks to you when he realizes that she must have heard you say it the previous night. Panic burns down his esophagus as he suddenly starts to spiral. Where can you both go? How quickly will you be able to leave? What if, what if, what if-
“We all got secrets ‘round here. Yours are safe with me.” She tilts the brim of her hat toward the rim of the canyon, just a few paces away from the dwelling’s foundation. “Shall we?”
Tumblr media
By the time night falls again some hours later, you’re so tired you can barely keep your eyes open, but you’re determined to stay awake for as long as you can. You have so much work to do. There’s still shattered glass on the floor and all kinds of scuff marks from work boots and metal scraping on stone, and there’s the food that was left out, and that’s not even considering all the things you have to unpack and sort through in the-
“’s late.”
The sudden depth of his voice startles you enough that you nearly drop your broom. You rest one hand on your hip while you catch your breath, one brow quirked up and the other dropping down as you catch a glimpse of Tai passing into the main room.
“I’m just trying to-“
“I know,” he says as his hands come to pluck the broom out of yours. “I know, sweet girl.” It clatters on the edge of the counter when he sets it down very purposefully beyond your reach. “But you need rest.”
You shake your head. “I have work to do.”
“It can wait.” His nose brushes yours as he leans in for a whisper of a kiss, something that pulls you from the duties you’ve assigned yourself and begs you to fall into him. “It’ll be here in the morning. Come to bed.”
You want to dig your heels in and fight him on this, pretend you’re not nearly as tired as you really are. You want to get as much done now as you possibly can so that tomorrow is easier. You want to make a good first impression, you want to show Nej that you’re every bit the hard and capable worker that Tai promised you’d be, and if you don’t get this clean up job done then you’ll fall short of all those expectations. And you can’t do that, you won’t.
“Nej will understand. He’s not like Ilo.”
“But Tai-“
“No,” he rumbles. A shiver runs down your spine when his thumb traces the slope of your nose. “Sleep. If not for yourself, then for me.”
Low blow. You could never deny him anything and certainly not when he asks you like that. Your eyelids flicker for a moment, dipping low as they’re tempted by the sudden idea of sleep, resting beside him, drifting off in his presence. It’s so tempting. So… nice… Maybe if you just lean on him for a second, yes, that’s okay. That’s nice.
You’re vaguely aware of his voice continuing on, but it’s hazy and difficult to understand. All you can understand is his tone, soothing, deep, gentle, everything that he already is to you conveyed in the pitch of his words, whatever they may be.
Sleep. Sleep sounds good. It sounds cozy. It sounds like him. Wherever he is, whatever he’s doing, that’s where you also want to be, so you follow the darkness luring you to sleep and you curl up in the sounds of him until you’re surrounded by it. You don’t dream that night, but you rest better than you have in a very, very long time.
And when you wake in the morning, your skin already warm and covered a thin layer of sweat from the boiling heat of the desert, you find for the first time in a week that you have awakened in Mos Nefta and your lover is still at your side. He hasn’t risen before the sun to shower and hike to the canyon’s surface, he hasn’t left his side of the bed lukewarm-cool and empty. He’s there, asleep, snoring, and with all the little anxieties that usually crease his forehead notably absent. And he’s just barely touching you with his one hand stretched in your direction so his little finger can brush your arm.
Mesh’la. You think it over and over again. You’re not sure what language it is that he never dares to speak, not where it comes from or why he keeps it hidden, but this one word is overflowing with truth. He is beautiful. He’s not perfect in the way that the galaxy says he should be and he’s a man half haunted, but all his imperfections and all the love he gives you, all the love you feel for him, adds up to mesh’la.
He deserves to sleep a little longer, but you’re a selfish woman and you crave him more in this moment than ever before. Your palm finds his cheek as you awkwardly shift above him, trying not to jostle him too much while also trying to get as close as you can. His brow furrows a bit when you tilt his head, likely moments away from stirring, but it’s okay, he’ll understand. You just need to…
“Sweetheart- mmh!”
It’s clear that the kiss takes him by surprise. His limbs go stiff for a moment, then limp, and then finally, his hands are on you, pressing you to him with the slightest pressure, exhaling into your mouth (his morning breath is awful, but he’s cute so you’ll allow it), and sighing so prettily.
“Missed you,” is the murmur left on his lips when you finally pull away. “Love you,” is scattered repeatedly between the following round of pecks across his face. “You’re so handsome, baby. So mesh’la.”
A gargling sort of sound comes sputtering out of him in response, somewhere between a choke and a laugh maybe? “What’s gotten into you?” he hums with a lazy smile.
Ah, yes. You were wondering when he’d notice just how far your hands have wandered. But what’s so wrong with admiring your lover’s body when it’s been so long since the last time either of you felt safe enough or comfortable enough (or alone enough) to do so?
“Getting out of Ilo’s house, for starters.”
He laughs properly this time, all rumbly and gruff with his early morning voice that makes your stomach drop. “That all?” he asks as he curls his fingers around the shell of your ear and down your jaw.
“Is that not enough?”
You suppose there’s more to it than just moving into a proper room, although you feel so much better cocooned into Nej’s only spare room than you ever did in the more sprawling space of Ilo’s front room. At least here there’s a proper bed. And a door. Real privacy. You already feel more like yourself here, but there’s also the fact that despite all the fear and stress of the Tusken’s raid and the hours that Tai was missing, the two of you rediscovered your equilibrium in that tent. Alone in the Dune Sea. Finally able to give the apology you’d been too afraid to voice and to receive his understanding. Finally able to understand that he'd been blaming himself as much as you’d been blaming yourself.
Leaving Daiyu had hurt. Leaving behind your home and everything extra that you’d collected over the years, everything that couldn’t fit into a pack. And nothing about Tatooine has been easy. But he’s here with you and he’s alive, and isn’t that enough?
“Just feel more like myself, I suppose,” you finally explain after a few moments. “And after almost losing you, it’s like I never want to stop touching you. Just to make sure you’re still here with me.”
Tai nods. “I am here. Always. And I’m alright.”
“I know.” One of your hands slips under his sleep shirt and his breath stutters. He tries to play it off and act as though it doesn’t phase him, but you know him and you know his tells. The sudden stillness of his chest, the pulse leaping out from his throat, the crinkle of his brows. “Still. Should probably check everything, make sure you’re in peak condition.”
The smoky chuckle he gives you is so delicious. “Is that right?”
Karking shit, you want him bad. The craving that’s been building up and up in your blood suddenly boils over into desire, hot and sticky and utterly carnal. It thunders through you like a storm, drives your body on instinct rather than conscious thought. You know your way around him better than you know anything else. All you want is to touch him and hear him shudder and make love to him until your body gives out and neither of you can remember your names. So you put your hand around the base of his head and pull him in for another kiss before he can stop you.
Your tongue slips into his mouth and past his teeth, seeking, taking, sucking, tasting every inch of him that he can give. You hope to drown in him, let his essence soak into yours until it's impossible to tell you two apart. And when he moans into your mouth and grips harder at your waist, it only spurs you on even more. You start nipping at his tongue, then retreat and latch onto his lower lip, drawing it between your own as you dig your canines in.
His eyes burn so molten hot that you're almost afraid he'll snap, but truth be told, you wouldn't mind if he did. Tai could bend you over right now and take you, and you'd kriffing beg him for it. Your body has been silently craving his for so long that you're not even sure you'll last once he starts putting his hands inside your clothes.
"Don't. Tease."
"Or what?" Your arms slide up and over his shoulders to trace over the veins in his neck, the thick cords of muscle that are now straining under his skin. "You'll fuck me?"
He shakes his head. "No, sweet girl. I'll make love to you." You open your mouth to fire back some smart retort when he yanks you hard against him by the waist and your mind goes completely blank as limbs slot into place and you find yourself half on top of him, half melting into the mattress. "Build you up and break you down to make up for all the time we lost."
Fuck, you can't breathe. "Promise?"
One of his cheeks dimples when he smirks. "I'm a man of my word."
He always has been. Your loyal soldier, the man who's made his home in the chambers of your heart.
You kiss him again, slower this time, while you snake a hand down his chest, over the swell of his tummy to the hem of his boxers. You’re salivating by the time you retreat from the warmth of his mouth. You need to taste him. It’s never been such a strong need before, not like this, and if you don’t get your mouth on him in the next minute, you’re surely going to explode.
It's at the exact moment that you slip under the fabric and wrap your hand around him, of course, that there’s a knock at the door. You don’t mean to, but your hand tightens on instinct and it’s everything Tai can do not to shout out at how alarmingly good it must feel because you can feel the vibrations of his withheld moan all the way in his gut.
“Yes?” you call. Tai seems otherwise occupied at the moment.
“Suns are up.” It’s Nej. “I was hopin’ Nax’d be able to get to work on the equipment early today.”
A very wicked idea comes to mind. You run your thumb over the head of Tai’s cock just as you reply, “He just woke up, but he’ll be ready in a few minutes.” It’s projected just loud enough that it hopefully muffles the grunt he lets out.
The look he sends your way is absolutely foul. Oh, he looks like he could kill you. Or maybe he looks like he could fuck your brains out. Perhaps that’s why his eyes are glinting so dangerously. You smile as sweetly as you can manage, but it quickly devolves into a smirk. You’re not fooling anyone.
Nej gives his thanks and you can just make out the sound of his crutches as he hobbles back down the hall. Good. The moment he’s out of earshot, you’re going to town on your man. If you live that long, of course, because with the way he’s looking at you, it’s entirely possible he’ll smother you to death. Not a bad way to go so long as it’s between his thighs.
“Minx,” he growls, still quiet enough to not be heard beyond the door but with all the venom and fierce arousal you see in his eyes.
You squeeze him again. “I’ll be quick, mesh’la.”
And the sound he makes must rewrite the chemistry of your brain. “Kriff, don’t- don’t say things like that,” he huffs, head thrown back and eyes squeezed shut.
“Oh, I don’t know.” There’s nothing casual about the way you slowly wet your lips and flicker your eyelids so your lashes flutter. There’s nothing casual about the way you fix him with the exact same “fuck me” eyes you gave him in that bar so long ago. “You look like you’re enjoying it,” and you’re sure to quicken the pace of your strokes as you say it. “Now lay back, old man. Let me wake you up properly.”
He almost certainly has some witty remark on the tip of his tongue, but he keeps it to himself. Or maybe he doesn’t. Maybe that glazed over shine in his eyes really means he’s too far gone to even notice or care that you just called him an old geezer. Maybe he wants you just as badly as you want him, so this little barb doesn’t rile him up like it normally would. Instead, he watches you settle onto your stomach between his thighs, soft and warm and ready, and he lets you take him into the damp heat of your mouth, run your tongue along his length until he's shuddering and sighing. He sounds like the prettiest, sweetest symphony.
Tai settles a hand on the crown of your head. Its weight is firm and heavy, but hesitant. He's probably holding back. Doesn't want to hurt you. No time for that. Nej is waiting and you have a mission to complete – you need to taste him and it needs to be fast. But being fast doesn’t mean you don’t tease. You still run the tip of your tongue along the dip in his head, still take a moment to lick a long, slow strip from his base to the top, and you do make sure that you never look away. Want him to see how deep your desire runs. Want to see him unfold for you.
“C-Can’t. Hold out. Much longer.” Oh, and his teeth are bared, shining in the dim slivers of light coming in through the window shade. “Mesh’la.”
His legs are starting to shake and you manage a smile around his fullness, just for a breath, just long enough for him to see it and moan.
“Fuck, your mouth. Dangerous little thing.”
You hum cheerily in response. Take a deep breath, unlock your jaw as far as you can and lower yourself until you’re taking more than you usually can. Then you swallow.
It all happens so fast. His legs tense up and the tips of his nails dig into your scalp, hold you on him until you’re choking and sputtering just like you wanted to be, and he’s coming and coming and coming. Every noise he makes goes straight to your cunt, floods your senses until the creases of your thighs feel slick and your stomach is twisting. Every jerk of his hips and desperate, breathy whimper that comes out of him is so fucking intoxicating that even though he’s finished and made a complete mess of you, you don’t want to stop. You just need a second to breathe and then-
Then he’s pulling you off, gasping for air as you resettle beside him. There’s something about the way his eyes are going in and out of focus, how his chest is rising and falling so rapidly, how unbelievably sexy he looks all fucked out, Maker, this man is going to be the death of you.
He relays the same sentiment once his breathing has settled.
“Don’t tell me you didn’t like it?”
He makes a big show of rolling his eyes and huffing as if he’s genuinely annoyed, but you know he’s just flustered. Big old softie.
“I think you liked it a little too much,” he murmurs. His nails scratch over the back of your neck as he kisses you, prompting you to mewl softly into his tongue. “Shame I have work to do. Guess I won’t be able to make love to you like I promised.”
“That’s alright,” you start to say. I can wait, you want to say. I had fun teasing you, you almost say. You’ll make it up to me later. But he cuts you off with a swift nibble on your earlobe and all you can get out is a lewd little whine.
There’s a moment between his tongue swirling under your jawbone and his teeth nipping at your neck where your brain blacks out and you swear you can feel him between your legs, but that can’t be right. He has to get ready for work. You’re just not thinking clearly from the arousal and the early hour and, and… And the fingers gliding through your slick are definitely real and he’s definitely trying to distract you from it or rile you up with all the attention lavished on your throat, and now you can’t even think clearly because all there is is him and his fingers and his tongue, and, “Right there, right there, fuck, baby. Tai, Tai-“
And just like that, his fingers are gone and your body is flashing hot and cold in his absence. Hell, he’s already climbing off the bed as if he didn’t just wipe your brain of all cognitive thought with a single touch. “Like I said, my love, I have work to do.”
No, wait. Hang on. This wasn’t supposed to go like this. “But-“
“Shame, really.” He’s already pulled on his trousers and started on his belt. “But duty calls.”
Now he’s just being mean. You crawl out of bed like some long-legged, newborn bug who hasn’t learned to walk just yet. “Tease.”
The dimple in his cheek returns when he smiles at you. “Minx.”
“You’re just gonna leave me like this?” As if you weren’t okay with that just 10 seconds ago. But then he’d touched you and that went screaming out the window.
Tai’s quiet at first. He slips on his undershirt, lips pursed as he thinks. Then he pulls on his work shirt and starts working on the buttons. It’s a dangerous game you’re playing, but he’s the only flame you’ll ever burn yourself with; you reach out and snag one of the buttons, slip it through the loop, and let your fingers linger after. There’s a beat, a breath, then two. The tension in the room is so thick that the air feels humid.
Just as you withdraw, his hands lock around your wrists. His head tilts up and his eyes catch yours. Oh. Your stomach drops to the floor the moment before he crowds you in against the wall. Danger danger danger goes the alert in the back of your head, but it’s him, it’s Tai. The only danger is the possibility of you coming on the spot if he says something dirty enough.
“You’ll work hard today, won’t you?”
Confusion creases your brow. “Yes?”
Something rumbles deep in his chest when he leans in and pins you to the wall. “You’ll be good, cyar’ika?”
You don’t know this word, but you love the way he makes it sound, so you nod eagerly. “Yes, baby, I’ll be good.” Whatever good means.
“And when the suns set.” His breath warms your still damp skin, a chill runs down your spine. “When our work is done, when Nej has gone to sleep and the desert is quiet.” Fuck. Fuck, he’s so close, he’s so riled up, and he’s so, so close, you can feel him everywhere. But you still can’t touch him, not with your hands pinned to the stone. “I’ll make good on my promise.”
"Build you up and break you down to make up for all the time we lost."
Your eyes very nearly roll back into your head. “You, you promise?”
He leaves you with a chaste, tender kiss and a nip at your throat. “Always.” And then he’s gone.

Just watched Dawko's playthrough of Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 last night, and hoooo...BOY!!😱That was a real wild ride and epically jaw-dropping in most places with the lore, along with a few emotional scenes...especially one with a certain critter (which I won't say because spoilers🙊) but ooh! ;3; How my heartstrings were tugged!😭 But what really surprised me was the name of the new character in the school area...MISS. DELIGHT is her name!😮And my OC is called DEERDELIGHT…coincidence or what??😂Whom I created in last November, WAY before Miss. Delight was introduced in the chapter😌(Mob Entertainment, were you inspired? Hehe~🤭) Speaking of DeerDelight, I was inspired myself to create her own monster form as you can see, and I am so happy of how she turned out!✨I had so much fun with her design!🥰 In the gameplay, I can actually see her roaming in one of the areas of Playcare, wandering and yearning for DogDay, wanting to protect and save him...🥺I think she maybe wary of the protagonist too at first, thinking they're gonna hurt her love... ;w; Hope you all like, my lovelies~💕😊👍🏻Enjoy!🫂xoxo.
*~Reblogs are also deeply appreciated as well, so please do reblog as well as like! Thank-you kindly!~*

|| Ramshackle Tickle Headcanons ||
Tumblr media
A/N: just watched the pilot last night and read the comic this morning, I'm ready 💪. I can tell these three are gonna be my new beloved found family. as far as I can tell, there isn't a whole lot of fan content of this on tumblr so I'm really scared this is gonna find its way to the normies 😢
---
Vinnie
Tumblr media
- chaotic ler
- usually the first one to initiate a tickle fight
- fights to WIN (and have fun with her friends)
- the roughest tickler of them all; squeezes, scribbles, and pokes anywhere and everywhere she can reach. she will the loudest laughter she can out of you
- skipp is her easiest lee; he'll start a chase and everything for the game of it, but he doesn't fight too hard once he gets caught
- stone, however, is the hardest lee, but we'll get to that later; despite how difficult he is to corner, she likes the challenge; besides, somebody's got to make sure that sad twig boi smiles
- once she finds your worst spot, she's not leaving
- teases with evil laughter and playful mockery; "no mortal can escape the clutches of the TICKLE MONSTER MWAHAHAHA!" "You wanna get away? You wanna get away?? Well you're not gettin' away~"
- when tickled, she SCREAMS and CACKLES but will NOT beg
- doesn't mind being tickled, doesn't love it; it's all in good fun
- ^ you wouldn't know that based on how hard she fights her ler; kicking, clawing, flailing, you name it; she does not like to lose
- in fact, she'd rather have her face turn purple than call it quits; the ler just has to know when to stop on their own because she's sure as hell not going to tell them
- most ticklish spot is her armpits
- do not try to outrun her because she is so damn persistent. she will catch you; tackles and pins you down before she tickles you
Skipp
Tumblr media
- lawful lee
- has the goofiest little giggles in the world; a real "teehee" lad
- can't and won't hold back his laughter
- by far the happiest to be a lee
- actively likes tickling and WILL admit it
- most ticklish spot is his sides
- he can tickle if he thinks one of his friends needs it but he mainly prefers to be the lee
- doesn't wiggle that much; all the energy that would go into squirming goes into giggling instead
- cups his pink cheeks and gives tiny feet kicks 🥰
- will squeal if you tickle his neck
- a lot of teases don't work on him because they rely on being embarrassed, and he's not embarrassed about tickling
- the teases that DO work are baby talk, since it adds to the silly feeling
- pokes tickle him the most
- his giggly laughter is laced with mangled outcries; "HEHEHEHE WAITHEHEHE STO- HEHE NOT THERE HEHEHE"
- if skipp gets in stone's personal space one too many times, stone'll wreck him (he knows skipp is doing it on purpose)
- isn't that invested with winning or losing a tickle fight; he's just happy to be there
- tries to get stone to loosen up about tickling (explanation later)
- gets ganged up on by the other two the most
- falls for those old tickle tricks, not because he wants to get tickled, but because he is just so obliviously trusting
Stone
Tumblr media
- HOOOO BOY
- the one we've all been waiting for
- I'm gonna let yall know right now this ones going to be the longest (SUE ME OKAY?!)
- neutral lee-leaning switch
- will swear up and down on his life that he's not ticklish (it's a lie!) until the other two little gremlins finally decide to prove him wrong
- he's very embarrassed about being ticklish; skipp doesn't understand why and tries to get him more comfortable with it, which causes stone to turtle-up and shut down the conversation; vinnie takes a less gentle approach and just tells him to "loosen up, dude!"; it seems like a childish thing to him, like something he should have grown out of
- despite how embarrassed he is about his weakness, he's not actually embarrassed about saying the word; he can say "tickle" all day long, he just can't admit he's ticklish
- he repeats the same three words everytime someone asks: "I'm not ticklish"
- if he thinks for even a second he's about to get tickled, he sprints like his life depends on it; this means the first ten times his friends have tried to tickle him, they failed, no matter how stealthy they were.
- finally, on try eleven, they managed to overtake him; he wouldn't laugh for the first two whole minutes; vinnie was straddling his waist while skipp kept him from kicking and bucking her off; eventually, he did crack; it only took a random squeeze at his death spot for him to slip up: his thighs; vinnie caught on right away and went to town, and then poor stone couldn't keep himself together; if he laughed any harder, he swore he'd crumble to pieces; his arms waved around, too jellied up to put any real force behind them; his eyes were still squeezed shut, but his smile was brighter than the motherfucking sun; it even put skipp's to shame; he looked uncharacteristically like a little baby, laughing and shrieking
- vinnie and skipp's eyes practically filled with stars; neither of them had ever seen this side of stone before; but that was about to change
- he can't claim he's not ticklish anymore, but he'll still go to any lengths to avoid talking about it
- stone didn't know he had a death spot until that moment, nothing ever came into contact with his thighs so he had no way to know
- his laugh is very high-pitched, differing from his usual deep rumble; pure belly laughter with a side of hiccups (no not hiccup laughs, ACTUAL hiccups. it's the cutest thing I swear)
- within thirty seconds of laughing, he's lost all ability to save face; cries out a lot of "please"s if vinnie goes hard enough
- the tops of his cheeks will go red while he's being tickled; not full tomato, but just enough to shatter his pride
- he's the most adorable lee 💓💓💓
- he is SO HARD TO CATCH THO
- he's got the reflexes of a cat
- doesn't like being teased, then he gets a little too embarrassed
- the only comments that ARE acceptable are ones of curiosity; like if skipp goes "hmmm I wonder if this spot is ticklish?" or vinnie says "dang bro I didn't know you could laugh that hard"
- if he's comfortable with anyone tickling him, it's skipp; he knows he can trust him to not laugh at him
- as much as he'll deny it, he doesn't hate tickling as much as he wishes; in fact, it might even be a little bit fun <3
- as a ler, he's pretty skilled
- where vinnie is a very rough and sloppy ler, stone is very careful and methodical
- starts with light traces to amp up the tension, then goes in for the kill
- tickles skipp the most, because there's a significantly smaller chance of skipp fighting back
- he tickles his friends in an older brother sort of way; mostly its when they're bugging him
- teases with "ya learnt your lesson yet?" "that doesn't sound like someone who wants me to stop tickling" "you were practically asking for it, being a pain in the arse and everything"
- specifically teases skipp because he knows he likes it; "having fun, down there? i can see that smile, mister, you ain't fooling me"
- most of the time though he'll just watch the other two tickle fight and watch boredly
----
IT TOOK A LOT OF RESTRAINT NOT TO RAMBLE
AND I DID ANYWAY!!!
I'll save the rest of my thoughts for potential fics
Hope you enjoy!

Loki would love the fact I’m autistic I’ve decided
Stimming? Lovely. Adorable
Special interests?? Delightful. He’d listen about my special interests especially because one of them is HIM he’d feel SO LOVED
he’d have no problem accommodating me or looking out for me
I mean he is a literal g o d he can help out
checking food? Helping me with sounds/sensory issues? NONVOCAL COMMUNICATION???? I mean he has a LITERAL SPELL to see in peoples minds I’d absolutely give consent for him to use it when I can’t speak
It’d be SO HELPFUL
He’d even help with meltdowns - and try to keep me from overextending myself and getting to that point because hoooo boy I need help gauging my limits better
And I think if I was vulnerable and open about the fact I need help sometimes … he’d enjoy feeling needed
Wanted and needed. Necessary. Like a provider - someone trusted enough to help.
And maybe it’d help him too
Help him feel less like a monster
And more like someone safe. And trusted. And loved

yk what we need!!
fortress maximus dating headcanons!!
i just wanna hear hcs you got for him :3c (gn, human/cybertronian doesn't matter :)
- Raft
WAAAAAA RAFT CMERE
Tumblr media
BEAUTIFUL PERSON YOU MAKE MY DAY
I’m such a Fort Max simp omg, This is so long I put a read more but I have to FEED THE FORT MAX FANS
Warnings: mention of PTSD, fluff
- He is a giant teddy bear and he’s very sensitive
- Fort Max does not trust easily, the best way to get closer to him is to be patient and to stand up for him. Deep down he wants to know that you would be able to take care of him if anything were to happen again.
- Sometime’s he zones out, if you notice that he’s most likely experiencing a flashback. Speak to him gently, remind Max where he is and hold his hand. His love for you increases tenfold. 
- Absolute cuddle monster, he would hold you for hours if he’s able too. Sucks that he has to get up and do things :/
- Speaking of, while he’s conscious he knows you're safe but is an insomniac due to wanting to avoid his nightmares. If you share a hab suite with him he will require you sleep in separate beds at first. He does not trust himself enough not to hurt you during his night terrors. 
- However, with time and reassurance, he caves and lets you sleep with him. And holy slag he has never slept better in his life. The weight of you on top of him reminded his recharging body that you were there, and no nightmares plagued him that night.
- So expect him to wait for you when he goes to bed from now on, or at least for you to tuck him in if you need to be up longer. 
- Takes care of you too. He’s mindful of any disability you may have, and has set internal timers to remind you to take your medicines if you have any. Because of Rung’s help, he’s emotionally intelligent and will comfort you or let you vent if need be.
- Not one to initiate PDA, but that doesn't mean he doesn’t like it. Give him quick kisses on the cheek or nose, or hold his hand and sit with him, he is SMITTEN. 
- You get scary dog privileges, when in fact he is the Cybertronian equivalent to a Newfoundland dog. (As a Canadian I will die on this hill)
- If you’re smaller than him, he carries you most of the time. He loves holding you near him and will bury his face in your chest when you two are alone.
- If you’re bigger? HOOOO BOY. Expect nervous fidgeting and stuttering a lot. He’s intimidated in a good way. Has never been picked up before so excuse the all-too-cute squeak he made.
- Embarrasses very easily pls don’t be mean to him
- LOVES photography, and very into astronomy. I found it interesting how in the comic he could realize where they are just by looking out the window, so he follows star maps a lot. Probably collects almanacs in his spare time.
- Verbally stims by clicking his glossa. If he’s in public though he will fidget with anything he can get his servos on. Pens, paper, cups, plating, even petting your hair if you're human. 
- Spooks easily, not a fan of horror films for... obvious reasons.
- He would give up his spark for you, he would protect you to his very last breath. 
- Max loves kisses from you, they remind him you two are together. His kisses are very slow and gentle, but if he’s in the right mood they’re hungry and passionate. He cannot get enough of you. 
- If a fight happens between you two, he takes time to cool down and then wants to talk things out. He can hold grudges, but he can’t stay mad at you, that hurts him. He would apologize first, and do what he can to make amends.
- Hold this bb tight pls

Hoooo doggy, the monster post arrives. As mentioned in Part 1 aka the manager's house segment, this is the “garden after building the house" property, and my 40th sale. And boy oh boy did it suck some serious time. But I'm happy with the end result, and while I probably could have cluttered it up with more stuffs, by the end I kind of couldn't even see it anymore. That means it's done.
So! Welcome to the cyberpunk bath house now owned by the Jonson family. They're branching into the for-profit businesses, look out Smoths! At some point my headcanon is going to be "everybody just buys everything" but for now, it's mildly amusing to imagine that the Jonsons, Smoths, and Raphael are all tussling over some poor town's retail economy while everyone else amasses residential properties to become rental barons.
But who cares about that? Grab a towel and shed your insecurities, these baths ain't gonna take themselves! :D
Time spent: 12 hours. Sold for: $300,800. Profit: $87,500.

painter!yuu
in which yuu just wants to escape from this damn art studio and that.. girl, but somehow ends up in a weird school.
notes: this yuu’s universe is somewhat based off of the game death palette ! please play it its soooo good for a mobile game !! also there will be spoilers (sort of ??) in this post if youre planning on playing it
cw: mentions of death, slight spoilers for death palette
Tumblr media
hoooo boy
this yuu is definitely super tired and somewhat alike to the yuu we play as in-game
theyre also a bit of an airhead and doesnt rlly like socializing due to being trapped in the art studio for so long
ALSOOO i like to think that theyre actually stuck in a timeloop n somewhat immortal??
just an endless cycle of… death over and over again
but their face is just…. blank always. and theres like…. a 75% chance that they wouldnt answer you if you try to talk to them
haha get it like a blank canvas!
i mean who wouldnt if they were being forced to paint anything for this…… bossy girl in a painting
shes super picky with everything and kills yuu for even a tiny mistake like uuugh thats so tiring!!
and now theyre in another world! lets play a game of how unlucky can yuu get!
ok but like. fr tho damn bro r u ok youve been killed in like. idk 50 diff ways by this girl
and u also had to witness this girls death and paint this girl while shes on the verge of dying.
like how do u even recover from that 😰
i bet if they had a catchphrase it would be. “well,, ive been through worse”
“…..”
“...well ive been through worse.”
“EXCUSE ME ?? WE JUST RAN FROM A. WEIRD INK MONSTER THAT COULDVE KILLED US ??? WHAT THE FUCK ??”
eventually everyone learns to just…. never question it
please dont. its not worth it.

In my blands rewrite's lore, all of the Vault Monsters considered "prisoners" are actually all one somewhat coherent taxon of creatures, called Primordials. They are ancient fleshy beings that wield strange magics and have existed since the dawn of time, and steered the universe in its early days. (Basically, lovecraftian old gods) This isn't to say they were an unified force, though - they may be powerful and incomprehensible, but each one had or has specific goals, domains and desires, ranging from simple animalistic hungers to complex ideologies. They even formed factions, the most well known and powerful one being the Circle of Chaos (shamelessly based off the Ruinous Powers from Warhammer), a gang of the four most influential and powerful Primordials in the galaxy Borderlands takes place, right after the Destroyer of course; despite nominally being allied, they were notorious for their constant internal rivalries and struggles.
Of course, their various influences over the "smaller" sapient races diminished when the Eridians entered material reality and started reconstructing it to suit their needs. And by reconstructing, I mean subjugating and controlling, which was quite easy as they had mastery of extradimensional/aetheric technology. They considered the material world as we know it anathema, and especially they thought of organic sophonts as lesser, gross vermin that piss everywhere and could not possibly concieve of the glory of the Pleroma (the dimension from whence they came) or the Eridians themselves.
The Eridians were largely unaware of the Primordials' existence, until one day the Destroyer showed up on their doorstep and they found out about these horrible meaty barbaric abominations, naming them Diatarachi (Greek for "disorder". The Eridians are Ancient Greek styled to me, since there's so many Hellenic myth references in Borderlands). They promptly declared war on them, but unfortunately killing a Primordial is incredibly fucking difficult, so they started locking them up in vaults instead. They created Guardians, the Siren Choir, found and guided humanity, a particularly etherically receptive species, then perished in their own hubris in an attempt to contain the aforementioned Destroyer.
Years later, when humanity hears of the story of the Vaults again, they start freeing the Primordials from their cages, forming... let's say, alliances, and proving the Eridians solely wrong. But the Guardians are also awakening, and are not blind to their masters' legacy falling in vain...
Tumblr media
Dude I've been staring at this for like a good 30 minutes now and it's so fucking interesting. What the flip. This is some very high quality lore being dropped at my doorstep dude thank you so much for sharing. The Eridians being greek inspired is probably one of my favorite touches given Borderlands utilizing from the culture in canon, that's just really good. Love love love how they tried to declare war on the Primordials but ultimately couldn't because of how genuinely overpowered they were. It's like if a bunch of lions declared war on the sun all of a sudden- Like these creatures are powerful, but they can't even begin to comprehend what they're getting themselves into [silly]. And the last part– HOOOO BOY THEY'RE IN FOR A RIDE.
oughHhhhh Nikolai's BL rewrite my absolute adored and beloved.

21 for Kairoh, 32 for Azure and 38 for Denali!
21. Kairoh- what personal problems/issues does your character have? pet peeves?
hoooo boy. kairoh is struggling a lot. she was the oldest and strongest of her siblings (despite being the only daughter) and had immense pressure put on her from a very young age to succeed in a traditional sense. her mom and dad were volatile and distant respectively, and her mom definitely resented her for not being the perfect darling daughter she had wanted. now as a 20yo dropout, kairoh sees failure and self sabotage as an act of rebellion against her parents, who always wanted “what was best for her”. it’s her sworn duty to humiliate her family as much as possible. she was engaged but broke up with him and publicly came out as a lesbian in one fell swoop. she was accepted to three ivy league colleges and declined them all and now barely scrapes by. she’s got an alcohol problem but won’t admit it. she cage fights for money and free drinks at local bars instead of working. she won’t eat or go outside for days. she lashes out at anyone who tries to get her to leave her room. i think she’s just very much in the deep end of My Life Sucks Just Let Me Be Miserable About It, which is a normal part of healing i think. connor is trying to tough-love her into shape, but this only makes her resist even harder. denali is trying a more “you-can-lead-a-horse-to-water” approach, just offering support and stability whenever possible.
as for pet peeves, when kairoh first started working odd jobs around the property, azure was annoying the ever loving shit out of her. he thinks she’s cool, but also just loves pissing people off, so when kairoh reacted snappily to him the first time he went Oh I Can Make Her Job So Much Worse. he’s just like her own younger brothers (insufferable) but perhaps a bit nicer and more enamored with her.
32. Azure- if they could have one thing in the world, what would it be?
a ducati monster that’s big enough for him to ride as a massive adult, but that’s ALSO as fast as a regular ducati monster! sadly i think this might be an impossibility due to Physics. a guy can dream, though
38. Denali- what would they do with a million dollars?
probably buy up as much land as possible to try and stop urban sprawl and establish a secure area for the species/people who are endemic/indigenous to the area (including her pride and the hadean dogs and indigenous human villages as well as “normal” wildlife). she’s active toward this joint landback and conservation goal anyway, but having a lot of money would certainly help.

Tell us about your Rogue Trader! She looks badass.
Hoooo booy, I'm not a WH40K expert, but here we go!
Her name is Rainer, which is more of an alias from the early days in Schola Progenium, practically no one remembers her original name, not even herself lol. She was picked from the streets and mindwiped and was told that her parents are heroes or smth and how she'd follow in their footsteps, but the point is the mind forgets, but the body remembers - her skills and temper, gained in the slums died hard, like really hard. Her character is pretty much summarised as bratty hooligan, who learned to hide her emotions too damn well. And boy oh boy she doesn't even realise how much of a suppressed monster she is even without the warp influence. It's hard for me to summarise her character in a few words, but I do enjoy making ambiguous characters, but I'll say she's not without some pangs of conscience here and there.
Rainer's in-game portrait that I posted is basically her look post-Act III with white streaks in her hair and Glasgow grin of course. And on official events she styles her hair in halo braid.

please what are your 5 favorite horror movies that changed you forever I need to know and add to my watchlist!
HOOOO BOY!!!! i love a super specific list.
my top 5 horror movies to chemically rewire your brain!!! in no particular order because i am actually really bad at picking favorites
triangle (2009, dir. by christopher smith). it's on the brain!! i tend to think that spoilers can't ruin a movie but truly the less you know going in the better. incredibly re-watchable. the gore is minimal, the violence is excessive, there's no real jumpscares, and the existential horror is off the charts.
nope (2022, dir. by jordan peele). i mean if you haven't seen it by now i can't help you but get right. fix yourself. if you think you know what's happening no you fucking don't!!! it feels dishonest to say it isn't violent or gory, it's just not the usual gore and violence you're used to seeing on screen. 5 stars angel, 5 stars.
piranha 3D (2010, dir. by alaxandre aja). it made me dumber. i love it. sometimes you just need a movie to make you dumber and sit back and appreciate the thousands of gallons of fake blood. if gore gets to you, i don't recommend it, but if you appreciate practical effects and the fact that a lot of their stunt actors were from a union of amputees, it's a fun ride, with a bunch of really funny performers.
malignant (2021, dir. by james wan). i think james wan just kinda rules. it's pretty, it's fun, and schlocky as hell. it's the most bonkers dialogue you've heard and it's delivered with a straight face. VERYVERY gory very violent, and while it's tense and scary in the moment it's not the kind of film you're gonna walk away from with a new fear, because it's just so silly (affectionate). it's a lesson in humor and how not to take yourself so seriously. stay silly! :3
paranormal activity (2007, dir by. oren peli). feels like it oughta be on here because it was the first honest to god horror movie i saw in theaters and of the group of people i saw it with, i was the only one afraid. kinda rewired my brain in terms of how i approached horror and what i expected from my horror movies, and helped me understand what other people find scary. it's a very scary movie with no gore and no monsters and there's nothing to see here, folks!
honorable mention because it's not a horror movie that is even remotely scary but is playing within the genre, don't read anything about the plot, just find it streaming and hit play!!!! thank me later!!!!! yes it's in japanese, no don't waste your time with the french version. why would you do that to yourself?
one cut of the dead (2019, dir. by shin'ichirô ueda).

I’m not gonna say that daemon is an idiot or some shit but I feel like some people wildly overestimate his scheming and underestimate his love of family. They also refuse to comprehend that 2 things can be true. He can be doing something Kinda Shitty for his own gain but also genuinely care about his family as he does it. He explicitly says to viserys he wants to work WITH him, to be by his SIDE. He wants power yeah sure but he’s not willing to knock off the family he loves for that. And he does love viserys and rhaenyra. That doesn’t stop him from being an absolute fucker but it does keep him from kinslaying or some shit.
When daemon took rhaenyra out sure there’s likely some level of Scheme there, which kind and how much is up for debate, but he also has talked to her and in general about his opinion that as targaryens they should be held to a different standard. Other women can’t be wild and fuck whoever sure, but rhaenyra should be allowed to. Just like he can, because she’s a targaryen.
Things like the targ incest and the valyrian tradition of polygamy are things that are deeply contentious in westeros all the way into the time period of the main show over a century later. Westeros is not cool actually with incest or polygamy. But when the dragon men have like 20 flying fantasy nuke monsters and you have like serfs with pikes you kinda make some concessions.
It’s why Jaime/Cersei is a HUGE DEAL on like every level and considered super fucked up meanwhile viserys and dany talk about marrying each other/the history of incest in their family like it’s normal. For them it is. The polygamy thing has fallen out of favor because even when you’re a royal chad with magic nukes you still gotta pick your battles sometimes and this was one of them. Also over time they just adopt more westerosi/faith of the seven ideals/culture as they move further from the age of the valyrian freehold and become Just Some Weird Westerosi Guys. But daemon is of the opinion that the westerosi can eat shit bc he’s got a Fucking Dragon so he can have 2 wives and fuck his niece. Which is what pisses viserys off so bad. Like DUDE THIS IS SO NOT HOW THE POLITICS WORK NOW. YOU CAN’T HAVE A SECOND WIFE DON’T FUCK UP MY DAUGHTER’S SHIT.
And he DOES want her, for personal and political reasons. Both things can be true. How sexually into her he is currently debatable given how ep4 went but he’s 100% the kinda dude to be possessive over the 2.5 people he actually likes and she doesn’t wanna be married off to Some Random Asshole??? Great! How about This Asshole You Already Know! And bam now he makes one of the only 2 real meaningful connections in his life like 100x more secure and close. Locking down a partner into a strained relationship with a baby scare energy from this shit. But ALSO it gets him a LOT of power. Marrying her wouldn’t make him king. she’s the heir, she’s still inheriting the political power no matter what. He’d be king-consort at best, which is a very toothless position for the most part tbh.
BUT it would put him as one of the CLOSEST PEOPLE TO THE MONARCH and he’s already like, her Favorite Person from day 1 which we see in ep 1 so he would absolutely have a lot of capacity to advise and sway her which is just as good as sitting the throne. People like otto and tywin show us the power of being the monarch’s personal assistant and daemon has already said he wants that. Like yes this is all VERY schemey. He’s Scheming. Daemon is Preforming A Scheme.
He can hold 2 motivations at once he has 2 hands. It can be Weird Interpersonal Targaryen Bullshit and Political Machinations Schemey Schemey.
But I see some people implying he’s like, tywin or tyrion or little finger levels or some shit and HOOOO BOY NAH. Things like the necklace he gives rhaenyra? It’s not a 5d chess manipulation. He likes rhaenyra. She’s His Person. So she gets Gifts. Because he just thinks she’s Neat. At that point he’s literally working under the assumption that HE’S THE HEIR. EVERYTHING POINTS TO THAT. It’s why there’s the whole small council shitshow after aemma’s death— NO ONE WANTS HIM TO BE THE HEIR. Giving his fave relative a gift is not him being a godtier schemer and Knowing Psychically with his huge gigachad brain that buttering her up now will be critical later to his Devious Master Plan™️.
He’s not stupid and he does plan and scheme a good bit. Turning the gold cloaks effectively into his own private army stationed in the fucking capitol is genius and a super sexy power move. But he’s also shown to be impulsive, reckless and heavily ruled by his emotions. His whole suicide mission in ep 3 is FUELED by spite and the NEED to do this all by himself for the clout. They literally SAY this dude would rather DIE than ask for help. He also thinks he can do pretty much whatever he wants because of who he is.
You cannot be a varys/tyrion/tywin/little finger level schemer and be impulsive or reckless or overly emotional. I’d say also say you can’t be arrogant to the point of hubris as well but that’s like 50% of how two of them died after VERY long careers as schemers so uh you kinda can. Daemon’s request for rhaenyra’s hand might seem like a Master Scheme— like “oooo that’s why he did this!!! He’s so clever!!!”. But like— polygamy hasn’t been done since maegor the cruel. Even ignoring Lore Stuff that’s not actively talked about yet in the show like maegor the cruel viserys makes the “we don’t do polygamy anymore” vibes clear— “you already have a wife”. Boom. Shut down in 1 line. You already got one dude knock it off.
Alicent’s reaction to these claims is a LOT of things and it’s coming from a LOT of places but there’s absolutely a lowkey Disgust vibe because incest is, despite what it might sometimes seem in The Dragon Show Extended Universe™️, not actually cool in westeros— or essos for that matter!!! The targs have the “freaky magic dragon blood preservation” exemption clause but it doesn’t mean people are cool with it!!! Alicent even has to say “I know it’s different for you” to like qualify her statements. Daemon saying “I wanna do two of the MOST CONTENTIOUS AND DISLIKED TARGARYEN TRADITIONS AT THE SAME TIME WHEN PEOPLE ALREADY DO NOT LIKE ME” is uhhhhhhh NOT A GREAT LONG TERM POLITICAL MOVE AT THAT MONENT IN TIME.
He could gain the same amount of power he’d likely get from marrying her or frankly MORE from being being rhaenyra’s hand. If he was truly a gigachad big brain 5d chess schemer then he’d actually be working super hard to make her feel like he was her biggest ally and supporter. Viserys is saying she’s his heir but not really properly training for it that we see on screen. He literally has her ushered out of the small council for having an opinion on the kinda issue she’d have to deal with as queen. Literally a PERFECT educational moment for her and she gets ushered out in the most aggressively patronizing way possible. Daemon would gain SO MUCH from swooping in to “help prepare his favorite niece for the crown” and making himself integral to her decision process, sense of confidence, etc. it’s pm what little finger does to sansa (tho they do a shit job showing that in the show even tho they INSIST it happened in s7/8 jsjxjdslls).
Daemon would literally be doing more to put himself in a super sexy powerful position by helping to hype up rhaenyra, solidify her power and popularity and make himself invaluable to her on a pragmatic and emotional level. But uh….. he doesn’t…… bc he’s Not That Good At Scheming. Daemon is not a schemer or politician. He’s closer to a targaryen jaime in terms of like, his political skills and shit. Not an incompetent and not unwilling to play like ned or jon was but uh, kind of a reckless jock with bloodlust for days and some Emotional Issues that make him kind of attention seeking and a thoughtless arrogant dickhead. He can navigate the world of schemers and politics reasonably well but if he could just take otto out back and beat his ass instead he would.

Oooo! What sort of new ideas are you working on? :D
I ask, blatantly avoiding my own WIP...
Well, I'm working on 3 different sewing projects right now. A dress, a suit, and shirt. And tomorrow, after I prewash some cotton, I'll add a second dress to the list. But hopefully I'll finish the first one while the cloth is in the wash.
In terms of writing?
Hoooo boy.
I have a bunch of plans for my DC Social Media AU. Not to give away spoilers, but I want to have some more silly fun with Beetle and Booster, and do much stuff with other League members.
I'm working on a novel length ColdFlash Fake Dating casefic, which feels like it's going to turn into a whole series, so I've plotted out its sequels, but each time I finish a plot outline for one of them, I get another idea. So far those include: Owen coming home and Barry helping him learn to control his powers, with Bart, Max, and Thad taking part; Len and Hal meeting and Hal not picking up A- that Len is Captain Cold and B- that he and Barry are a Thing; A few domestic fluff pieces.
I also have a 'We just met versions of ourselves from another universe and oh look they are married should we sort of talk about that even though there's also a monster attacking the city?' thing that I have plotted out, but have only written the opening passage to.
And of course, the No Powers Pornstar AU....
