Not me constantly checking the relationship tab for Billy because I need to know if my horse loves me yet
Checking the relationship status of every COG game after a single interaction is a very bad, extremely harmful habit of mine, but alas, I cannot stop it.
So I totally get you, anon! 😆 This is one of the reasons why I opted for written descriptions instead of purely percentage based — to try and give the players some respite from this. But Billy's heart is so challenging that one finds oneself constantly agonizing when it is it'll soften.
If it ever does.

Dating connor headcanons
He's so sweet, dear God.
Ask for anything and he'd do it for you.
There will be moments where you're like, "Honey, you didn't actually have to do that. i was gonna do that in just a moment"
Sometimes you worry, he thinks he still needs to surve because of it. Eventually, you told him you felt bad about him doing everything for you and how you worry he still feels rhe need to be a machine and just goes, "I know I don't have to. I choose to." You get a little confused, and he continues."I want to help you. I can stop if you don't like it?"
After you start dating, he definitely asks Hank about advice a lot.
"Hank, how does one... swoon a girl?"
"Hank, what do people look for in a relationship?"
"How do you go about pleasuring someone?"
Dear lord poor Hank.
Eventually, connor downloads some programs to help him better understand the art or romance. To say he's bad at it, he understands the basics, and of corse he loves you, but it all feels a bit... stiff. He doesn't quite get it yet. He's too formal. He's so used to his profession making things very cut and dry, straightforward. He needs to relax .
Just let him adjust. He'll pick up on it.
He loves trying new things with you. He has so many date ideas. Ice skating, amusement parks, paint ball (rip fr), crafting
He thought it'd be fun to take you on a paint ball date, and you lost instantly. In hindsight, you both realized that was a bad idea. He was programed to hunt deviants after all. With the athletic and shooting skills he's equipped with you walked out coated in paint and welts for days
It's OK, though. He apologized profusely and took care of all your wounds with so much love. Made sure your baths were at the perfect temperature, always had ice ready, creams on the ready dude was practically your stay at home nurse, lol. You insisted you were fine, but he wouldn't back down.
Ever sense deviancey he's started alot of new hobbies. Painting, ceramics, cooking, gardening. From each new hobby, he gifts you little crafts. Romantic paintings, mugs, flowers, your favorite meals. And when ever he picks up a new hobby you make sure to buy him what ever supplies he needs.
He does so much for you, you love to give back.
He loves receiving hugs and kisses oml.
A hug from behind will make him melt, or a kiss on the jaw can make him weaken at the knees, he loves physicality.
He especially loves those nights where you both are wrapped in cozy blankets, and one of you is lying on top of the other. It'll turn him into mush. He feels so happy
He trusts you so much
I hate to say it, but he often worries he's not a good enough partner because his deminor is so... stiff, even compared to other androids. When he eventually expressed this concern, you admitted you worried the same thing about yourself.
He was extremely baffled as to why, and you, of course, explained. He's so perfect and caring. He's always doing tasks for you and making things for you. You often felt you couldn't keep up and return the generosity the way he did.
When you told him you thought of him as perfect, it made him extremely flustered.
Of corse, he reassured you how great of a partner you were. So caring and supportive of his endeavors, always making sure he's alright, he just felt so much trust.
Ug, the relief you both felt.
He'd definitely wanna get a dog with you. When you expressed you wanted one, he got very enthusiastic at the idea. Lots of resurch into different breeds.
One day, you came home to a spreadsheet of dog breeds and all their stats. It was overwhelming.
Eventually, you two compromised and got something like a staffy. (Or whatever you want ofc)
He's very protective of you. Sometimes, he is a little overprotective. If he has the sense someone hitting on you, he'd slide up so fast and passively try to scre that person off. There have been a few moments where he misidentified someone just talking to you with flirting. You had to explain the situation to him and he felt bad afterward. You appreciate the thought, though. You really do.
Enough about what he does for you. We need to go back to what he like you doing for him. Cause he does so much
You looked into engineering to help with small repairs. You don't exactly have the brains of a cyberlife engineer, but you can fix small bugs and replace any damaged parts.
One day, he came back from a mission, a few dents, a shot leg. Nothing to critical but still concerning.
"Oh god, are you alright?"
"Just a few minor injuries. I can go in for repairs tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Sweet heart, your shot."
"I can't feel pain, remember? I'm fine, I promise."
You insist on helping out and he accepts. He hasn't admitted it yet but he loves the care you put into repairs.
You'd roll up the sleeve of his pants and carefully remove the white plastic shell, patiently fix any broken wires. Tenderly clean the thirium leaks, replace the plastic with a new, not shot one. And carefully buff out any dents he had.
You somehow managed to get your hands on a few bags on thirium, so you replaced whatever he bleed.
You taking care of him like this always makes him blush. The amount of attention to detail and care you had was very admirable.
He'd always kiss you afterward.
He loves to dance with you. If you plan a date to somewhere nice and secluded and play some music... dear Lord, he's gonna be love sick. Slow dancing, whether you're good at it or not, makes him so happy. He'll absolutely teach you if you can't, it'd be so romantic.
He installed a warming system in his body after starting the relationship with you
One night, you came home freezing, and you threw on a heated blanket, trying to warm up. And he got an idea
A few weeks pass, and a snow storm blows over detroit. You are about to grab the heated blanket again, but you can't find it. You opted for grabbing a normal one and cuddling with connor instead. Suddenly, the body below you starts to warm up.
"Do you like it? I recently installed a heating function to properly warm you if you needed."
He likes to call you pet names every now and then.
At first the practice was confusing to him. He was aware of the practice and why people did it, on a technical sense, but to have it actually happen to him felt a little strange at first.
He quickly grew to love all the little pet names you gave him
He really likes sweet heart, sweetness, honey, prince charming, etc.
Eventually he started giving you pet names as well
The same ones you call him mostly. Though he definitely got experimental and called you a bunch of weird ones for a few weeks.
Sexual
Oh, the possibilities of a robot lover
Before we start with that, his introduction to a sexual relationship. It's not what he was built for, but he goes into shops to get some upgrades ;)
He's switchy for sure.
He can dom if you want him to and he'd happy to ablige.
Boy, is he good at intimidation. With all that interrogation software, he can be as mean as you want him to be.
He really likes to pin you down.
And tease you. Dear God he loves to tease you rip fr.
You can be tied up, and he's graising your skin and talking about all the things he wants to do to you, getting you riled up and flustered is probably the most rewarding thing.
He'll make you beg after teasing for sure. Don't worry, he's not too cruel about it unless you want him to be.
Sub connor
He loves to be tied up and pinned down, too.
Hand cuffs, with his own tie, belts. The more creative you get it excites him.
And make him beg. Don't be too harsh with him, but he loves the desperate feeling
Praising. Praise him, PLEASE. It'll make him a mess.
Tell him he's a good boy, tell him he's so beautiful, tell him what a good job he's doing just... ug.
Every now and then I feel like he'd like edging.
Certainly not something he frequents and prefers not to, but on rare occasions, he'll suggest that he wants to do edging. Give him all the kisses when you're done.
He hates to admit it but he likes getting a little steamy at work.
He knows not to do it to frequently, and avoids the frequent practice
But on occasion, he allows it, and when he does, he's really into it.
Seeking off into bathrooms, janitorial closets, exchanging touches under desks. The desperate and secretness of it all excites him
And roleplay. He's very into role play.
Cop and criminal (of corse), massage therapist and client, professor and student, strangers
He likes giving and receiving roles for all of them.
Though if he's the sub, he can be bad at staying in character. He'll put up a convincing act until you get him hot and bothered. The closer he gets the role slips from him lol
Now, let's finally explore all the updates he's gotten.
His dick definitely moves on its own. Like one of those sex toys that thrusts inside of you.
And it vibrates. What doesn't vibrate, really? His fingers, palms, tongue
All sorts of new mobility features in his hips to get the smoothest movement.
Ok, I got this idea, and I feel like I can leave it out, but if you request it, he'd look into aphrodisiac dispensers in his mouth so when you swap spit, kisses can lull yiu further into lust.

I saw your writing requests and can I request Vil x Idia?
I always have to push my rarepair lmao
No rarepair is safe from us >:))
I love rarepairs, they've always been my faves on fandoms cof cof Floy'Nya cof cof
Ya didn't really gave me a prompt to work for, so hope you don't mind some general headcanons of them! If you ever want more, or something specific of them, you can request it away!
Cw:
Vil Schoenheit x Idia Shroud
No one at first believed or understood just HOW those two got together.
I mean, THE Vil Schoenheit, a famous model and actor, with a huge fan base and with products stamped by his face dating Idia? The nerd otaku dude who doesn't leave his room, like, ever?
Some were even concerned if Vil was under some form of course or potion effect, which he responded by an offended gasp.
"Do you think so lowly of me that I would ever fall for a curse like that? Dear Seven, you really underestimate me and Idia, don't you?"
The way they got together is... A rather uncommon one. Idia found Vil doing an advertisement for a game he really liked, and he got a tiny celebrity crush.
Ortho insisted Idia shoot his shot, because the chances of a parasocial relationship becoming unhealthy to someone are higher when there are no sort of communication between parties.
Idia went through the toughest boss fight in his life, which was pressing the send button. That felt like such a normie problem, he almost gave up... Until Ortho pressed for him. Great. This action will affect the main game forever.
Vil was... Low key endeared by the message. It was bold and talked in a lingo he isn't used to seeing. He felt generous enough to give some time to this gloomy samurai person.
They didn't even realized they were so close together until Ortho went thanking Vil for making his big brother so happy.
Cue to Idia's door being kicked open and Idia cowering in his chair almost crying in fear as Vil scolded him about not going to talk to him directly.
They became an odd pair after that. Vil makes sure Idia gets his needs taken, including touching some grass (much to his dismay).
And Idia teaches Vil about technology methods to make his career better. (He doesn't mention about the Vil x reader fanfic tab on his tablet though)
Vil found it obvious how Idia was head over heels for him, but he felt oddly calm about this. It didn't feel like other people crushing on him, where he needed to step on eggshells to maintain this pristine image.
Idia seemed to find him "having max charisma and appearance stats" even when he was a total mess, in his eyes.
It was a new thing for him, letting himself show his "uglier" side to someone, and not being the perfect Vil Schoenheit. And Idia seemed to not care in the slightest, although he did get flustered a lot whenever Vil shared a picture with his hair down. Vil learned from Idia's ling that that was "simp behaviour".
Idia... He never had so much attention from someone so different in his life. And for once, it didn't scare him. Actually, when Vil complimented him for showing up to class, he felt oddly proud and confident.
Ofc Vil was the one to confess first. I mean, Idia was going through the 19th mental breakdown over how to confess at that point, and Ortho was NOT a reliable source of advice on the matter.
Ortho is their biggest supporter, and says that Vil needs to take good care of his big brother, since he is very fragile and also very scared.
Rook was actually very supportive of Vil's choice. He is the biggest Vil fan, but he puts his dear Roi du poison's happiness over his. And to be fair... Their dynamic is enticing. It's unique. A beautiful form of art on itself!
Others were very much confused but grew used to it.
An odd pair, sure, but who said love couldn't be odd?
Their favorite pastime together is casual dates at Idia's room. Where Idia geeks about how this super rare character he summoned had such OP skills that his team two shot the boss, all awhile Vil paints his nails so they have matching colours.
Don't ask Idia why he is showing up to class so much, or he will run away and hide in his room. He is trying! He even wore his uniform 2 times this week!!
They are so silly, I think I got carried away lol. Hope you enjoy this!!
Have a great day/night!

Mamuta (Monster)
Tumblr media
(Mamuta Download by SAB64 on Deviantart)
(I love the mamuta, and I love how evil the captains are to them. They aren't aggressive at all, and even when you piss them off they don't even hurt pikmin! Just plant them! I interpreted them as benevolent fey- although they canonically lay eggs in the game- and kept them at their original size. I also incorporated the fact that these sweethearts have a tendency to get killed!)
CR2 NG Tiny Fey (Earth)
Mamuta are simple, kindhearted fey who tend to the undergrowth of forests, counting clovers, planting flowers, and choosing seedlings to care for until they become great trees. They treat all plant life with love and care, and even when incensed, choose only to quell plant enemies rather than kill them. A mamuta typically chooses a field or clearing about 60ft in diameter as its territory- such a clearing flourishes under its care.
Mamuta have an odd quirk- they are fascinated by rare magical and technological items, and often keep them somewhere on their person or buried in the soil. This, unfortunately, has led amateur treasure hunters to target them for their goods. Mamuta will fight with surprising strength for a creature so small, but still rarely win these conflicts against armed humanoids, leaving their small, delicate plants without a protector.
Mamuta are said to taste like chicken-of-the-woods, and it is believed by scholars of the natural world that they represent the symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi, as well as natural processes growing over and burying items left in the woods.
A NG spellcaster level 7 or higher with the Improved Familiar feat may take a mamuta as a familiar.
This small brown creature has a pair of long arms extending from its torso, and no head- only a pair of soulful eyes buried in its chest.
Misc- CR2 NG Tiny Fey (Earth) HD3 Init:+0 Senses: Perception:+9 Stats- Str:16(+2) Dex:11(+0) Con:18(+4) Int:6(-3) Wis:19(+4) Cha:14(+2) BAB:+1 Space:2.5ft Reach:0ft Defense- HP:22(3d6+9) AC:14 (+2 Size, +2 Natural) Fort:+5 Ref:+3 Will:+7 CMD:11 Immunity: Force, Sonic Weakness: Vulnerable to Fire Offense- 2 Slam +3 (1d6+2) CMB:+1 Speed:15ft Special Attacks: Planter (DC12) Feats- Skill Focus (Knowledge [Nature]), Power Attack Skills- Knowledge (Nature) +6, Perception +9, Stealth +12 Spell-like Abilities- (Caster Level 4, Concentration +6) Status (Plants only) /constant Cure Light Wounds (Plants only), Goodberry 3/day Plant Growth 1/day Ecology- Environment- Forests, Plains Urban (Any) Languages- Sylvan Organization- Solitary Treasure- Double (Medicinal herbs, 1 Lesser Wondrous Item) Special Abilities- Planter (Su)- A mamuta’s slam attack is incapable of harming plants. Instead, a plant creature hit by the attack heals 1d6 damage and must make a DC12 Will save or become sedate, unable to act for 1d6 rounds as though they were dazed.

Hey, now that the new chapter is out for the public, I feel like I need to comment!
Well, like I said on Patreon already, I absolutely LOVE the last chapter (and the epilogue too).
The kiss on the hand was just... ah, I love Hades so much! And I enjoyed the whole trial in general.
One of my favorite things though was the amount of reactions and answers to Demeter you gave us. It really allows to fully RP our character as we wish! In my case for example, my MC was always close to Demeter, and only in the Underworld he realized that he needs the freedom. But even then, he always cared about his mother. But when she broke his trust by organizing that kidnapping... well, the entire relationship came tumbling down, and as of now he doesn't even want to speak with her anymore, at least for a while. I'm very grateful for that option!
Last thing is something more gameplay related I wanted to ask - when we get to decide how the MC occupies their time on Olympus in - I believe - the second to last chapter (like tending to Demeter's gardens etc), would you consider making it so whatever we pick there increases one of the stats a little bit? In my playthrough I was in that frustrating situation where I was one point short of being able to actually negotiate stuff with Zeus (all three stats that can be relevant during the trial were too low in my case, but one of them was a single point short is what I mean). Now, I didn't need to negotiate since my MC wanted to stay full time in the underworld and ate the fruit, so it was not an "issue", but it would have been in a different scenario. I'm asking for this mostly because the majority of previous stat-increase choices are very "RP based" and so it would be a shame to pick something that wouldn't be in character. But on the other hand, that one last choice could be like a "last emergency increase" before the climax of the game, in a way?
Of course, if you don't wish to implement that, it's fine! It's just something I thought about when playing that chapter!
Anyway, congratulations on finishing the book, and good luck with the adjustments and all the work you still need to do on it!
Hey, thanks so much for all this. I'm glad you enjoyed the various possibilities with Demeter; I really do want people to be able to run the gamut with responses to her, because I think there are lots of ways to interpret her actions.
As for the stats thing, that would be totally fair, but as it happens I'm designing skill stats out of the game in editing, so the point turns out to be a tad moot (still a good suggestion, though, and thank you.)

Weekly Update - Mar 30, 2024
Hello Tumblr people! It’s almost been a week since I’ve revived High School Revenge and released chapter 3, so I think it’s time for an update. All Weekly Updates will come out on Saturdays, as long as there isn't an emergency or something, so I hope you'll all be happy with that.
So, let’s start with the most important news, I’ve already started working on chapter 4. For most of these week I’ve worked on figuring out how to do a random event based mechanic. The way I want chapter 4 and most of the chapters that follow to work is that players will get to choose what they want to do every week (for example work on their skills, attend a special event they discovered before, get a new ally, etc.), after witnessing the effects of their choice, they will also get a random event (for example, MC stumbles into two targets talking something private, random target does something interesting and you're present, etc.). The random event can be a relationship milestone event (for reaching a certain relationship level with a character), a hobby event (a significant moment for a club due to skill increase), or a pure random scene that has nothing to do with previous choices.
During these weeks you can also send Burt on stalking missions. The first thing he will do is build profiles for the targets, which will appear as special pages in the stat screen with information about the targets. Using the special Burt portfolio you can get hints as to what the targets like and dislike, allowing you to choose better options in dialogue options that they might like more. Once Burt’s built a profile for someone, he can then stalk them to start getting clues that can be used in a revenge plan.
Tumblr media
Right now chapter 4 has 4k words written, as I’ve only had time to write one random event where you get to play 2 truths 1 lie with Isaac, Cecily, Michael, and Vivian. Finishing this chapter is going to take a while, considering how many events I’ll have to write, but I hope the result will be worth it.
I also have a to do list now of things I want to change to the first three chapters, but I’ll start working on those next week. I’ll also probably release the updated versions of the old chapters on Patreon first, so those will come one month later here.
If you want to see the to do list, as well as screenshots of the new weekly gameplay and Burt's mission, you can find it all on my Patreon. If you don't care, just ignore this part haha

Skyrim Ideas
I've been playing Skyrim for a while (on Switch) and theres some stuff that would be nice to see. I am no modder (yet) but I wouldn't be crranky to see these in the game as a mod (or Switch DLC (we get nothing (not even the new DLC)))
Relationship Add-on
Family Meal
Whilst I don't care much about game relationships there's nothing with the marrige mechanich. There's stat boosts but Roleplay-wise not much exept asking to make food, sleeping boost and extra income .
Something I would like to see is having dinner together. When your home from adventuring you can ask to have a meal together at a table. You can go up to your spouse and say "Let's have a meal together." then what time you would like to have it at. You can also choose to make the meal yourself by "I'll make the meal myself". This will give you a quest 'Prepare 3 meals'. Mainly because I also feel like the baking mechanic isn't used much. If you don't have cooking ingredients you can say "I can't make the meal" then your spouse will take-over.
I'll be using the lovely Scouts-Many-Marshes
Tumblr media
Scouts-Many-Marshes-"Is there anything you need, Dearest?/ You want to have a meal together, my love? That sounds like a great idea./ You'll cook. Why you're spoiling me, love. Very well I'll get the table set when your ready. <I'll prepare the table. When would you like it?/ Sounds great. You just rest up, my dear.><Thats okay, dear. I'll do the rest you rest up.>"
When the set time comes or if you've prepared the meal, your family will sit at the main table of the house. Having a meal together will give you major stat boosts and give you unique dilogue. Your spouse and kids will talk amongst you or your spouse will talk to you if you have no kids.
You can also ask your Personal Steward to set up a meal for your family. And if you have 1 kid or less you can ask them to join you with "You can join us" if you would like.
I'll be using the legend herself Lydia
Tumblr media
Lydia-"Long life to you, my Thane/ You would like to have a meal? That sounds great, sir./ It would be my honor sir. <What time would you like it?>/ How nice. That will be a great surprise for them. I'll gather everyone at the table when you're ready.<Alright, I'll make the preperations. You rest up sir.><That's fine, I'll take it from here.>"
Having a meal will provide boosts to the player. The 'Family Meal' will give you a boost to all skills for 15 hours along with extra benifits depending on what food was prepared.
You will also have dialouge conversations between the table. These dialogues will come up at random amongst the table. They can all be said with eachother such as Spouse dialogue can apear in all the other dialogues and the kids dialouge can appear in the Steward dialouge. You can end the meal just by standing up after 1 min realtime. Then just leave the home and everyone will go back to their normal schedule.
-------------------Dialouge-------------------
Just spouse
"It's so nice to have you home, my dear. I hope you've been staying safe. I don't know what would happen if you didn't return."
"I love our home but it does get empty sometimes. I've been thinking about a small hobby like writing. Maybe I can do one about your adventures."
"Have you met anyone interesting on your adventures, love? Perhaps you could ask someone to join you, so that you can have someone with you. I would join you, but I should hold down the fort. Who knows what bandits could come here."
"This was a great idea, dearest. Please come home safe soon so that we can do this again."
"Dearest, I'll be honsest. I've had lots of sleepless night worrowing about you and your adventures. Somedays i see the Courier in hopes its a message from you. Don't misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm happy about your adventures and helping others. Thats why I fell for you. But please, if you ever feel like enough is enough. Come home."
(If joined Winterhold College) "I've heard your learning new magic. How interesting. Perhaps you can put on a show after this."
(If joined Dark Brotherhood) "Theres rumour going around latly that The Dark Brotherhood is back. Please stay safe. I worry you might have made some enimies without knowing."
(In a built house) "I love what you did to the place. I can tell you put in a lot of effort into this place. I know we'll live happily here."
(Scout-Many-Marshes Unique) "I love it here, dearest. I do admit, I miss the other back at the docks. I hope they're doing fine without me. Would you mind seeing how they're doing for me if you're going pass. I would visit myself but it was hard enough getting out. Doubt they'll let me in.
With kid(s) (SMM= Scouts-Many-Marshes or spouse) (K1, (K2)= Kid 1, (Kid 2)) If you have 2 kids they'll alternate at random.
K1 "Father/Mother have you faced any dragons yet? Were they big and scary? I don't think they'll be for you."
K1 "Father/Mother can you teach me some fighting moves, while your home? I've learnt some myself. Perhaps I can teach you and you can use them in your fights."
SMM "Look who has joined us for a meal this time?"/ K1 "Father/Mother, you're staying!" (K2 "So does this mean you're staying a while!")
K1 "(Mumbling)"/ SMM "Hey, don't talk with your mouthful."
K1 "(Humming tune)"/ SMM "Well they seem happy, my love. I mean who wouldn't be when you're home safe."
SMM "This was a great idea, dearest. Lean forward a bit."/ K1 "Eww! Why when we're eating!"
K1 "Father/Mother can we play a game outside after?"/ SMM "Yes, we can all play."/ K1 "Umm, okay."/ SMM "Whats the matter? Don't you want to play together?"/ K1(K2) "It's just that, you're not very good."/ SMM "What do you mean?"/ K1(K2) "Well you're not that good at hiding and you're not that fast at tag."/ SMM "Well I was just going easy on you. I can be a lot harder."/ K1 "Sure you are."
K1 "Father/Mother can I have a cat?"/ SMM "I've already said no. That doesn't mean ask them." K1"Why not I'll take care of it I promise!"/ SMM "Because we don't need a cat here and I said no to it."/ K1 "What! Father/Mother please can I have one!" SMM "Don't agree or you're staying to clean up after it."
(If joind Winterhold College) SMM "I've heard you're learning new magic. Perhaps you can put on a show after this."/ K1 "Please Father/Mother. I want learn some magic myself!"
(If you live outside a city) K1 "Father/Mother do you think I can go into the city myself?"/ SMM "I don't know, sweetie. The city is pretty far."/ k1 "But Father/Mother can do it. I know I can do it. I'm the son/daughter of the Dragonborn!"/ SMM "Yes, that might seem so, but you're not allowed to carry wepeaons until you're grown up."/ K1 "Okay, how old?"/ SMM "Well lets see. Hmm hm. Never."/ K1 "WHAT! But I can do it! I've done it before."/ SMM "You WHAT!"/ K1 "Umm, nothing"
With Steward (L= Lydia or steward)
SMM "My whats this?"/ L "Everyone's together so a big meal is in order."/ SMM "How lovely. And you're joining us also. What a specal occasion." (K1 "Father/Mother, you're staying!")
SMM "Thank you two for preparing this meal it was a great suprise."/ L "Please, it's my duty to surve my Thane in whatever way they need."
L "Thank youse for allowing me to join you in this meal."/ SMM "Please, it's nothing. You've done so much here, I don't know what I'd do without you. We're all a family here."
K1 "Father/Mother, do you think I can join you oneday?"/ SMM "I don't know, sweetie. Your Father/Mother does dangerous work."/ K1 "But I'm strong! Mr/Ms Steward has taught me some fighting skills."/ L "Oh, yes. I hope you don't mind. They kept asking to teach them skills."/ K1 "Yeah! I did it so I could go with Father/Mother and protect them."/ SMM "(groan)"/ L " Well your Father/Mother is the Dragonborn and very strong. He/She can protect themselves. How about you protect your home with me."/ K1 "Okay! You hear that Father/Mother! I'll protect our home!"/ SMM "Thank you"
SMM "Oh I just remembered. Some items we need."/ L "What is it I'll go and get it now."/ SMM "Oh no, you sit and eat. I'll get it next time I go out. Perhaps you can join and we'll make a day of it."/ L "Very well. Thats sounds like a great time."
(If you live outside a city) K1 "Father/Mother can I sleep outside tonight?"/ SMM "That sounds great, but I don't think thats a good idea, sweetie. Something might happen."/ L "If it would ease your mind I've been on patrol latly and found no danger in a while. I can also keep watch."/ K1 "See, Mr/Ms Steward will protect us! And with Father/Mother here, we'll be twice as safe."/ SMM "Alright then. If you can find your camping bag we'll sleep outside."

Hello! I don't know if you are still up for it but would you want to do a matchup exchange? I apologise I'm only familiar with jjk and mystic messenger if you want a matchup so feel free to ignore this! If not though could I please get a jjk matchup?
Heres some stats abt me lol:
Im deedee, im 20, she/her, straight so an adupt male jjk would be awesome haha. I'm also a Sagittarius:). I love music of any genre. Horror movies and horror video games, chocolate and sweet stuff, animals, woodland all that good stuff! I am quite sporty I swim in lakes, gymnastics, dancing, roller skating.ice skating, hiking or walking they are all good ways to relieve stress and listen to music haha. I do love to sing but I don't think I'm very good and I love learning things but my uni tells me I'm not very smart haha so I don't think I'm good at transferring skills but I try to stay positive and not dwell on sad things! I think I struggle to accept love but my ways of showing love would be gift giving or acts of service but I don't like it when people do them back to me if that makes any sense im quite independent and minimalist. I think I match people's energy but I'm quite introverted so I don't actively seek company but I try to enjoy it when invited. I don't really have an ideal type just someone who could understand me because I think I struggle to understand myself at times haha so I worry I might be tough to handle but yeah I try to make people laugh and join in. Oh I also like someone who is up for late night walks or drives like a bit of adventure or fun. Hope that's okay :)
Hello~! Thank you so much for your request! I had so much fun with this exchange and I hope you enjoy your matches as well~ ☺️

Tumblr media
Your Obey Me Lover is…Satan~
-I could also see you as a match for Levi, but ultimately I think you and Satan will be such a cute match~
Sagittarius and Libras are very compatible with each other! Even though Satan is an air sign he has a bit of a fiery personality, which I believe you can balance that side of him~.
Even though Satan appears cold and closed off, but deep down he has a more softer and endearing side that only you have been able to break through.
This man LOOVES animals (especially cats), so I can see him coming home with a random cat that he found while on his walk.”so I found this kitten…I couldn’t just leave them out in the cold. I’m not sure what to do, Deedee 🥺” He sulks about not being able to keep them, but as soon as you give him the ok to keep the kitty…you can see his blue eyes brighten up~! But he’ll try to be more nonchalant about his excitement lol. “Really?!…I mean…this would be a nice addition to the family, don’t you think Deedee?” (You can totally see right through his poker face LOL)
He’s definitely the type to hand feed you LOL. Will give you handmade speciality chocolate just for you and will insist on feed you~ “Darling, I got you these chocolates that I think you’ll like. Just relax and let me take care of you. Now, open wide for me?”
I think satan is also a bit introverted, so both of you can relate to each other in that aspect. I can picture a cute scene with you both sitting in the couch or laying in bed together. You would be sprawled across his chest, feeling content as you listen to his soft voice read his latest book he’s been into.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Your lover in JJK is…Satoru GoJo~
I think they saying of “opposites attract” works in this relationship~
I know this man has a it of an ego, but I firmly believe he would be such a good partner! Sure, GoJo is still going to tease you to death, but he doesn’t in an endearing way. Always playfully apologizing when he notices you get annoyed “Honey Muffin, don’t look at me like that…I’m sorry. Come give me a kiss pls 👉🏻👈🏻” and then he peppers your face in kisses just hear hear your sweet laugh 🥹.
I think Gojo is a bit more on the athletic side also. So he is totally down to do whatever physical activities you want. You want to take a morning jog? Gojo has a route lined out just for you both. Thinking about going to the skating rink for the after noon? This man absolutely has matching skates with you! Although, he might have to hold onto you the first ten minutes of skating around. He is the most strongest sorcerer, but he isn’t the most agile on wheels lol.
Is the type to give you some ridiculous/cringy nicknames, but all for love! For example, honey muffin, snuggle bear, my little honey bunches…the list is endless…
Will be so overjoyed when you surprise him with a gift that he’s been wanting for so long! “Honey muffin, you got this for me? How did you know I’ve been wanting it?…I’m a bit obvious, huh? This is why you’re the best, snuggle bear~ 🥰”
Gojo may seem a bit of an airhead when it comes to emotions and vulnerability, but I think if it’s coming from someone he loves…he will be so soft for them. He’s not perfect (even though he thinks he is…😅) but he will try his absolute best to understand you and give you the strength you need to get through hard days. You also don’t have to worry about being too much for Gojo…in fact, I think he’s a bit too much at times. Gojo loves you with all his heart and just wants to see you happy 🥹.
Tumblr media
(Such a beautiful man ;-;)
Tumblr media
Your Lover in Mystic Messenger is…Zen~
I find it so funny we matched each other with Zen lmao. But I think you two would make a super cute couple as well~! 🥰
Sagittarius and Aries are also very compatible signs. (I may have a bias for Aries though…Aries men are just *chefs kiss*). We definitely see Zen fiery side in the game, especially when it comes people he loves and that includes you~
This man will looooove to listen to you sing…he will BEG for it if he has to! I can imagine Zen being pouty when you refuse and pester you on why you won’t sing for him…”honeyyyyy, please sing for me. If I don’t hear the sweet voice from my lovely angel, I will simply pass away”. Sure he can be a bit dramatic, but the man just wants to hear his sweet angel’s voice after a stressful day!
Also a very athletic man. He has to keep up his physique for his roles and would love to go on more active dates with you. He’s also your #1 hype man and always brags about how gorgeous his girl is, especially to Yoosung. He’ll definitely tease Yoosung when it comes to relationships, it’s happened before and Zen won’t stop lol. “See, Yoosung? If you keep up a nice physical routine and charming personality you can end up with a gorgeous woman like my Deedee~” This man is head over heels for you!
Even though I view Zen as being more of an Extrovert, I think he can also be a little introverted at times. He’s constantly running around between auditions, practices, shows and events that it wears the man down sometimes. During those times, he’s more than happy to just be lazy on the couch, cuddled up while watching a movie with you. Although sometimes he’ll actually recommend a horror movie to make you think he’s not scared at all. He’s a man, he can be scared of some silly ghost on the screen…yeah, he’s totally scared. But that’s why he has you to huddle behind and grip onto when a jumpscare takes his soul lol.
Will definitely take you on late night rides on his bike. But he will be so careful and gentle with you. “Sweetie, remember to wear your helmet and elbow/knee pads when we’re on the bike. I know you know, but I just want to make sure not a single scratch touches your pretty little head~! *muah!*” (ugh I love you two together so much 🥹)
All and all just a very sweet, love sick relationship between you two~!

I finally watched the jdrama Eye Love You with Chae Jong Hyeop. It was an interesting watch for quite a few reasons, especially as a Cherry Magic fan.
It's an office romance with the lead having mind-reading ability with Omoinotake doing the theme song. The bright colors, the lack of "bad guys," conflict arising basically from everyone caring too much, side characters that are honest, true and lovable and mythology that is hand wavy, but full of heart (although this one could have been a tad bit better lamp-shaded IMO)
Sound familiar?
It's a Japanese drama with a popular Korean drama lead where they indulge and revel in the cultural differences in ways that are silly - like the female lead learning about what noona meant through coworkers kdrama watching and mistakenly thinking he was thinking of her in that way (which he wasn't) and hysterical - like him immediately asking her what her first name is and calling her by it when they first meet outside of the office context and then when finding out she is the CEO continuing to be his charming, familiar self and making her have an emotional meltdown over it because she both was completely embarrassed by it, but also loved everything about how open and disarming he is. (And I did too). I love that she is interested in him from the start because he is the first person she's met since she's gotten her abilities that she actually can't understand his thoughts (he thinks in Korean).
Chae Jong Hyeop is fabulous in it, as he always is when I watch him in something. He stole the show in Nevertheless (sorry, Song Kang) and I loved him in the Witch's Diner. It just reminds me I keep meaning to watch more of his stuff. Also superficially, he's charming and handsome and tall and makes the female lead look tiny and I am not usually into height difference at all but it works for these two a whole bunch. Her fantasy dream sequence really reminds us that he is very capable of being more than a smiley puppy and someone needs to give him a role like that stat. Bonus that it's just fun to me to listen to him speak in Japanese after being used to listening to him speak Korean. He's clearly really good at the language so it's great he got to use his skills for this.
Some of the most touching scenes in this drama are with the female leads father and her best friend. This is a show about her finding love, yes, but all the relationships matter and are heart-warming.
It probably has the best second male lead I've seen (maybe after Chae Jong Hyeop's character in Nevertheless haha). The care and consideration the two supposed rivals show for each other after the comedy of it is played out is nice. The circumstance itself is enough to create conflict so people don't have to be jealous assholes about it. I really enjoyed Hanaoka enough to be interested in seeing something else that actor is in.
The mythology could have been tweaked a little. There's something significant most of the characters believe and it is never clear to me why they all believed it and never questioned it in the first place. But I downed all these in a few days because ultimately it was a really fun watch with lots of good feelings.
If you are a jdrama and a kdrama fan, it's also a delight to see a nice little hybrid of the things I personally enjoy in both being thread together into one story.
It was definitely worth the watch.

heaven official's blessing (pt. 2)
(finished reading on April 1 2022)
my unedited annotations for books four and five (SPOILERS AHEAD):
BOOK FOUR
been too busy to read for the past few days but I'm super excited to dive back into this - that being said, I'm still scared of this book ending
and so we return to the past!!
okay so Xie Lian's already been banished? ngl I was kind of hoping to see the actual banishment because I'm still confused as to why exactly he was banished??
also it's weird because the Xie Lian of the past is vastly different from present him but you can also very clearly see how he became the way he is today
ah yes now we know exactly where Xie Lian's poison-cooking-specialty originates from lol
okay Mu Qing is being kind of a dick in leaving Xie Lian but also he's got a valid point, and I kinda sympathise with him?
oh fuck me it's Hua Cheng?? I knew he would be in this book somehow!!
“I want to protect them.” - no but this is his unfulfilled wish that ties him to the mortal realm?? like he just wants to protect Xie Lian, that's so pure and wow I'm actually going to start crying now
I hope one day to find someone who loves me as much as Hua Cheng loves Xie Lian, even if its just in a platonic way
‘“If you remain forcibly, you won’t be able to rest in peace,” Xie Lian said.
The nameless ghost didn’t seem to care. “I pray to never rest in peace.”’
no but this whole scene with Xie Lian and little ghost Hua Cheng is like the foundation of their current relationship - Hua Cheng protecting Xie Lian without ever speaking a word to him of it, suffering to keep his heart to himself
so Hua Cheng died in the war, that makes sense
wait what?? Xie Lian actually cooked something edible?? maybe his cooking skills are a plot device after all
oh so this is when Feng Xin gets all wifed up
no but you really feel the second-hand embarassment when Xie Lian is caught trying to rob someone, like he's really fallen from that gracious and honorable Crown Prince of the past
yo someone help this boy, he is literally having multiple panic attacks and has very severe PTSD and also probably depression, like boy needs some therapy stat
but tbf, that's all characters in every mxtx adaptation rip
okay but ghost fire Hua Cheng is genuinely adorable
oh so these are the thirty-three heavenly officials Hua Cheng becomes famous for killing - of course his reason for doing so was Xie Lian! I should have realised that sooner considering everything Hua Cheng does is for Xie Lian
“But, this hand had reached out too late.”
I think White No-Face's obsession with Xie Lian is because he is the Crown Prince of Wuyong who suffered a terrible fate and he wants Xie Lian to suffer likewise and join him so he won't be alone anymore
the one instance where Feng Xin and Mu Qing are actually getting along and it's Xie Lian who drives them apart, how ironic - I keep trying to make myself like Mu Qing and like, I understand why he does what he does but I still don't like him - Feng Xin though is my boi
I'm beginning to understand why book four is the most tragic and hardest-to-read section in the whole book
no but it makes sense?? killing makes you immune to the human face disease
oh fuck no I think I know what's about to happen
Xie Lian...what are they doing to you
fuck me but he is without a doubt the character with the most tragic backstory ever to exist
SOMEBODY FUCKING SAVE HIM
how painful this must be for Hua Cheng too seeing the love of his life bear so much pain and be unable to do anything about it
Xie Lian you need to tell Feng Xin what happened to you or you're going to lose him too
“It’s not like I’m a god, can’t I be angry? Can’t I hate?”
I understand why Feng Xin leaves but also fuck you Feng Xin! can't you see how much torment your best friend is in? can't you see that he's too broken to be left alone
wait the King and Queen have actually hanged themselves?
no okay this is too fucking much don't y'all leave Xie Lian alone like this, he doesn't deserve to be tormented like thus, he doesn't deserve any of this
Ruoye!! and now I understand what Xie Lian meant when he talked about forging his spiritual device with Pei Ming - I knew it would be tragic but never this tragic
he's on the verge of becoming the white-faced calamity isn't he?
Hua Cheng to the rescue!! and now I understand all the fan art of Hua Cheng in a smiling face mask
or maybe not Hua Cheng to the rescue? curiouser and curiouser
Xie Lian has definitely got something up his sleeve as always but it still hurts to watch him be so broken and in pain
and now we have the story behind the bamboo hat
Hua Cheng!!
ahh why do they both go through so much pain?? and because they're soulmates they feel each other's pain too - my heart -
I read a post that said all that happens to Xie Lian makes him “desensitised” to everything and that's exactly what it is - he bears so much pain and suffering and humiliation in such a short span of time that eight hundred years later present day Xie Lian just does not give a fuck about anything anymore, like he's reached the lowest it is posible to ever go and can go no lower and like my heart is in pieces for him but at the same time he's such a fucking icon
the truth behind his second banishment
and thus we have present day Xie Lian in all his adorableness, except now we know his full story
the only big mystery left now is his third ascension I think
now onto book five as we return to Mount Tongl'u
BOOK FIVE
I don't this even needs to be said but I loathe White No-Face with every inch of my being okay
no but its actually hilarious that Hua Cheng carved a inhumanly big statue of Xie Lian out of a literal mountain, like my man is whipped
the real question is why is Hua Cheng a ghost king and not a world-famous artist and sculptor?? like he should have his own museum and not be running the ghost version of las vegas lol
it's also hilarious how though all the gods supposedly find Xie Lian strange they're all still willing to do whatever he says, like Quan Yizhen and even Pei Ming
haha I knew Pei Ming totally ships it
its only been like a few hours since Hua Cheng and Xie Lian properly kissed with no pretensions (and they haven't even properly confessed their love yet - though they don't really need to to be honest lol) but I'm absolutely living for these casual displays of love, like Hua Cheng giving Xie Lian a forehead kiss makes me feel so warm and happy
I was wondering when Shi Quingxan would show up again - ngl, was not expecting this reunion though
absolutely love the fact that Xie Lian can quite easily kiss Hua Cheng in front of everyone when it's a high-stakes situation but gets flustered by kissing his cheek when they're completely alone, Xie Lian is just too adorable
Jun Wu is White No-Face?? what the fuck....
I thought Jun Wu was kind of sus but not to this extent
no I don't want Yin Yu to die, he's genuinely one of my faves and deserves so much better than he got
yasss we stan Lord Rain Master!!
hmm I wonder if Mu Qing's interrogation has anything to do with what Hua Cheng heard him and Feng Xin arguing about on Mount Tongl'u
I mean Hua Cheng isn't wrong, the two of them really have zero self-preservation instincts lol
yes finally, we're going to get the full story!
so Jun Wu/White No-Face has basically been manipulating everything from the very beginning? damn - and I thought Mengyao in mdzs was a psychopath, this is just on a whole other level
Guoshi ships it!! he's definitely confused about where all the gay came from though lol
I'm screaming Guoshi is definitely trying (and failing) to give Xie Lian some sex ed
this whole battle seems like some sort of crack dream
okay but Guoshi is actually the best
Guoshi referring to Quan Yizhen as a ‘fluffy child’ is the peak of hilarity
not Guzi!
this Hua Cheng is He Xuan isn't it
not gonna lie, I kinda ship General Pei and the Rain Master
Hua Cheng already imagining having a child with Xie Lian - I can't, that's too adorable
final battle approaches
Hua Cheng wanting to make a good impression on his boyf's ‘dad’
come on Xie Lian, you're so good at sussing out every other gods mysteries but you can't even figure out all Hua Cheng has done for you? you're so fucking obtuse at times
Hua Cheng thinking that Xie Lian was going to stab himself again - my heart - and then being reminded of when Xie Lian was stabbed by a hundred swords but Xie Lian just laughing it off - ahhh why did they have to go through so much pain
I think Feng Xin is slowly coming to the understand the depth of trust and love and mutual respect that is Hua Cheng and Xie Lian's relationship - he's definitely not against it now at the very least
also glad we're finally getting some character growth from Mu Qing, after 800 years
so this is the truth of Mu Qing and honestly, I can't really say I dislike him so much anymore, like I understand where he's coming from
he's still a dumbass for not realising that Xie Lian genuinely did want to be friends all this time though, but then again, if I met someone as good as Xie Lian I would be a little skeptical too lol
this whole scene is low-key hilarious, they're both dumbasses
scratch that, all three of them - Xie Lian, Mu Qing and Feng Xin - they're all dumbasses
‘Xie Lian responded, “IF THEIR ENTIRE FAMILIES ALL LOOK LIKE THAT, YOU SURE YOU WANT TO FUCK THEM??”’- I'm crying
okay now I'm starting to understand where all the shipping of Feng Xin and Mu Qing comes from, this whole bit with Feng Xin carrying Mu Qing and them bickering is kind of adorable
Mu Qing and Feng Xin definitely give the vibe of Xie Lian's brothers who don't really approve of Xie Lian's boyf in the first place but still don't want him to be harmed for the sake of Xie Lian - I actually love their friendship okay, however much history they have between them all
and now we get the rest of Hua Cheng's story!! I'm so ready for this
no fucking way - so Hua Cheng could have been a god??
he definitely chose the ghost life for the aesthetic lol
I love the trope when couples fight together as a team, like all the wordless communication and synchronisation
‘Because he wasn’t as good as Hua Cheng thought him to be.’
that's the thing though, Hua Cheng has seen every bit of Xie Lian and knows that he's imperfect, he understands him and sees him for who he is - Xie Lian, don't you understand? Hua Cheng cares about none of it, all he cares about is you, its all he's ever cared about
‘“Your Highness, don’t be afraid. Remember? The one basking in infinite glory is you; the one fallen from grace is also you. What matters is ‘you’, and not the state of you. No matter what’s happened in the past, I will never leave you. You can tell me anything.”’
nooo not ruoye!! :(
‘He couldn’t help but wonder—perhaps, to be defeated by someone, to end these relentless days of brokeness and madness, was possibly Jun Wu’s wish deep down.’
Xie Lian you are truly one of a kind - “shattering boulders on chest” lmao
‘All of a sudden, thousands of emotions, millions of words swarmed into his head. There was gratefulness, there was shame, there was heartache, there was wild joy, but above all else, there was incurable love.’
fucking finally!! it's taken Xie Lian way too long to realise the truth lol
‘Hua Cheng said quietly, “Your Highness, I understand your everything. Your courage, your despair; your kindness, your pain; your resentment, your hate; your intelligence, your foolishness. If I could, I would have you use me as your stepping stone, the bridge you take apart after crossing, the corpse bones you need to trample to climb up, the sinner who deserved the butchering of a million knives. But, I know you wouldn’t allow it.”
He said all this as the maple red of his robes slowly faded away.’
fuck me they better have a happy ending after all that or I'm going to scream
Jian Lan and Feng Xin deserved better, they all deserved so much better
I love how every little story arc is getting some sort of resolution as we near the end
‘Hua Cheng waited for him for over eight hundred years, so what did it matter if he waited for Hua Cheng for another eight hundred more? It could be a thousand years, ten thousand years, and he would still wait, and continue to wait.’
‘A smile hung on Xie Lian’s face, thinking, he wasn’t the only one who had fallen.’ - but I'm also bawling
‘Last time, they spent eight hundred years running towards each other. This time, it only took an instant to fall into each other’s embrace.’
final chapter let's go!! but also I don't want this to end
love that they've returned to Puqi shrine it's so wholesome
I'm screaming - this definitely means Hua Cheng and Xie Lian have already slept together lol - and Feng Xin and Mu Qing are just there like ‘we really didn't need to know that’
the elusive He Xuan??
I am living for domestic HuaLian
“I am forever your most devoted believer.”
---
after finishing the book:
screaming crying laughing I can't believe its over
this was a genuine masterpiece
also reading the post-script I think MXTX is legitimately a genius like wow, I aspire to be as talented as she is
(rated 5 stars)

QUICK STATS ;
Name: Jace Harlow
Age: 39
Gender & Pronouns: Male & he/him
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Time in Covington: Born here, then left for college. After college, Jace returned every now and then to visit family, and fully moved here in his mid 30's
Occupation: Attorney
Neighbourhood: Riveroak Farms
Relationship Status: Divorced, single
CLICK BELOW FOR QUICK INTRO & MY DISCORD!
QUICK INTRO ;
Jace was born in Covington, I haven't delved much into his family as I don't know if siblings could be future connections here! He was super smart and calculated, even as a kid. In high school he was one of those kids who were top of his class, captain of the lacrosse team, popular amongst his friends etc
Moved away and studied law in college, and then at Yale. He got a job at a pretty prestigious law firm - think Harvey Specter vibes from Suits. He LOVES the rush of being in court, loves calling people out on their bullshit. He's particularly skilled at hiding things and making them disappear. And he loves getting paid a shit ton of money to do that for important clients
Although he moved away to a big city, Jace still loved his hometown and would visit his parents/family often. It was on one of these trips where he met his future wife. They had an incrediiiiiible wedding, but once they were married, his wife started pressuring him to move home and start a family. At the time he was still living away, and came to Covington once a week or every two weeks and his wife wanted them to settle down.
For a short while he refused, not wanting to give up the high life of being a corporate lawyer to the big guys, but eventually he gave in and moved back to Covington.
The sacrifice didn't save his marriage, and they divorced. She wanted a family, he realised he didn't want to have children of his own. He decided to stay in Covington and commute to his office in Atlanta
He's the kind of lawyer who avoids answering questions, won't give any info even if he had a gun to his head. He prides himself on taking the dirty jobs no one else wants because he knows he can get the job done, and done well. He doesn't care much for what other people think of him, because as far as he's concerned, he works damn hard and loves what he does.
He's vowed to never marry again, it was too messy the first time round after he opened up his heart and it ended horribly
PLEASE PLEASE come and plot with me! I have many connection ideas! My Discord is xoxophy

Not Chris Benoit's disgusting cultist fans saying they should make a biopic about him and glorifying the sack of shit. No fuck you.
I will say the same thing about when they petition him to be in the WWE HOF.
“But his workrate” I DON’T GIVE A FUCKING SHIT ABOUT HIS FUCKING WORKRATE. HE BRUTALLY MURDERED HIS WIFE AND KILLED HIS SON. HE HAD THE CHOICE, THEY DIDN’T, FUCK HIM.
No one talks about OJ’s football stats, cause him being a MURDERER outweighs that
No one talks about Bill Cosby’s comedy or movies, cause him being a rapist outweighs that.
No one talks about Hitler's artistic talent, cause him being a genocidal warmongering racist cunt outweighs that.
No matter how good his work rate was, it will forever be tarnished and overshadowed by brutally murdering his wife and drugging & suffocating his own son.
JR, Stone Cold and Paul Heyman have said it best.
What Jim Ross said
“Chris Benoit does not belong in the WWE Hall of Fame now or ever”
"Chris Benoit does not belong in the Hall of Fame now or ever, simply because the last 48 hours of his life is what everybody would want to focus on, they don't want to talk about Brad Armstrong and Chris Benoit having a hell of a wrestling match at Clash of Champions.
"I don't think he would like that. Is his skill set good enough to go into the Hall of Fame? Oh my God, yes. Is it all about your skill set? No, it's not. He would be a distraction and unfair to the other talents being inducted and their families."
What Stone Cold said "He's one of the most talented, hard working people I've seen in the squared circle. Anybody who knew Chris would tell you those exact things. One night, Chris ended up killing his wife and his kid; that is an act so terrible and horrible, I can't even comprehend or even guess as to what happened in that house. That will always overshadow any accomplishment that Chris Benoit had in the ring. He'll never be in the Hall of Fame, it'll just never happen. His career will speak for itself, but his record as a human being is first and foremost, and his actions will never be forgotten. Chris Benoit as the person I knew? Loved him. Chris Benoit as a wrestler? Loved him. Chris Benoit the person who did what he did? Unforgivable. Bottom line."
Like Paul Heyman said, “Yeah you can admire his work all you want, but I’ll give you my take on it since you keep on yelling out ‘my boy’—three people died in that house that night, three. Three people died in that house that night, only one person had the choice behind it. The other two didn’t have a choice to die. So if that’s your boy, fuck you. So a talent? Remarkable. As a human being? I don’t care about CTE, I don’t care what the reasons are Nancy and Daniel had no option, he did. Fuck him.”
He ducktaped Nancy, broke her back over his knee and strangled her. he brutalized her. Then he drugged Daniel and suffocated him. Whatever happened between Chris and Nancy ended violently. There was a history of an abusive relationship. Yes there were drugs, yes, there was CTE, but Sandra starts and stops a story from years earlier where Benoit hurt Nancy and says “out of respect for his surviving kids, I’ll stop.” There was a pattern of abuse. There was an existing pattern of behavior with Benoit and domestic violence. Grunge was over there a number of times to sort things out. There was obviously a lot of this information that was withheld. The documentary also glossed over key details, like Chris taking out an insurance policy on Nancy and Daniel a month earlier. It was planned & he fully intended to go to Vengeance and Raw had he not heard the cops were coming. My opinion on what caused it is Nancy has had enough and threatened to leave and take Daniel away and that’s what caused this tragedy.
He didn’t snap or lose his mind. He premeditated the murders and made sure his son wouldn’t suffer. Sounds to me like a Familicide. This wasn’t a CTE/drug/alcohol fueled, spontaneous rage fit where he regretted it afterward. This was pre-meditated. He planted a knife under Daniel’s bed. He planted Bibles by their dead bodies. Left messages for everyone to find the bodies. He googled specific Bible passages and the quickest way to snap your neck. He planned this to happen
No matter how much you loved him as a wrestler or how much you admire his work, murdering your wife and son disqualifies you from ever entering the Hall Of Fame. It grinds my gears that every year, some female star gets her parade rained on because the HoF is some hallowed achievement that also means nothing by the people campaigning for a domestic abusing murderer to be inducted in their place. It’s honestly the most disgusting part of being a wrestling fan.
It's bad enough there are psychotic fans who want him to be in the Hall Of Fame. Now they want there to be a movie made about him?
We don't need a movie glorifying the child murdering sack of shit.
This is stupid. Look at what happened after Dahmer on Netflix. People are still humanizing him to this day due to the show. All this will do is give Benoit defenders more shit to whitewash him with.
Chris Benoit does not deserve any more acknowledgment or recognition. Regardless of his past accomplishments, his actions were evil, and he's a monster. He doesn't deserve the attention anymore.

For the commentary ask game:
So he led the charge in this, assuming a leadership role Keyleth knows he would have rather avoided. Convinced the others this was a worthwhile endeavor. Appealed to Vax and Scanlan and Grog’s (and Pike’s) love of pranks and mischief, nudged them towards roles in the heist they would all enjoy the most. He gave Keyleth the position of lookout so she wouldn’t have to get her hands dirty if this whole debacle went tits up. Didn’t ask Vex to shield him, just to watch the machine and report back to him on what it was doing. He’d taken on the bulk of the responsibility himself, the bulk of the work, but he’d done it willingly for the happiness of a friend.
Percy’s not as bad a man as he believes he is, Keyleth thinks. Meanders another loop around the arcade. Given to anger, yes; haunted by things he refuses to speak of, sure. But bad men don’t lie awake at night worrying if they’re bad. Bad men don’t fix their best friend’s car free of charge and teach her how to handle the issue herself if she needs to.
Bad men don’t pop out of the guts of a claw machine with glasses knocked askew, glancing up at the girl they admire and handing her a token with a half-grunted “Try it now” as they hold together some monstrous amalgamation of wiring and circuitry only they can understand.
BLESS YOU TIA I LOVE YOU I HAVE SO MANY THINGS I WANNA SCREAM ABOUT
(Placing under a cut because when I said "DVD commentary" I, uh. Wasn't fuckin' kidding)
So when I started writing Secret I knew that I wanted to focus on aspects of Percy and Vex's characters that wouldn't come up in idle conversation. Since neither of them are prone to introspection while actively focusing on a task, it evolved to Keyleth being the one to observe their interactions from afar, and given her high wisdom stats mechanically, it gave me a way to delve into character intricacies that sometimes aren't explicitly laid out in fic.
I knew going in that I wanted to focus on two things in Percy's character. One: the idea that he defends and protects those he loves by arming them rather than interposing himself; and two, which I believe is the crux of Percy's character: "bad men don't lie awake at night wondering if they're bad." For Vex, I wanted to juxtapose her outward confidence and capability with the small part of her that was a child in an emotionally neglectful, if not outright abusive, parental relationship, because that explains a lot of her behavior in most aspects of her life.
For Percy, the part with fixing Keyleth's car was important to include in my mind, because it's both a real world example of something he would do and a perfect prelude to the claw machine heist shenanigans he winds up inciting in the fic (also, breaking into a machine to fix it and make it fair rather than just... steal the toy is such a Percy thing to me -- he wants to win, but only if it's enough of a victory to rub it in somebody's smug face). In both instances, two people he cares about very deeply are in a bind. In both instances, he has more of the know-how to address the issue than they do. However, it's clear that Percy has issues with autonomy and is very, very concerned with chivalry and respect and other customs of court that I'm sure he was steeped in growing up, so his default is to address the immediate issue but arm his loved ones with the knowledge they need to get themselves out of said issue. For Keyleth, that's fixing her car and showing her exactly how he did it so she can do it herself. For Vex, it's fixing the machine so she can win the toy through her own skill, because he knows she's capable and intelligent but also knows her father's disapproval means she questions her own worth and capability at times.
And, going along with that, Percy is an excellent leader -- his plans are sometimes... well (lookin' at you, murdering Draconians to piss off Vorugal), but despite his distaste for it, he's good at knowing where people are best used and placing them in those positions. He might not like leadership, and he might defer to the group more often than not, but he is good at it, and I think he'd be more than willing to step into the role if it benefited Vex or Keyleth (but especially Vex).
As far as the second bit of focus on Percy's character goes, I think the quote is pretty self explanatory. "Bad men don't lie awake at night wondering if they're bad." This is the line I constantly go back to when trying to describe Percy's character -- he's done some awful things, he has great capability for cruelty and violence, but he acknowledges those things about himself and shoulders his flaws, though he obviously wants to be redeemed in some way (Osysa's speech in TLOVM and his own admission of "I don't want to die who I am. I would like to live long enough to be someone else" prove this point). Percy has a conscience, and for that reason he wrestles with the darkness in himself and hates it as much as he owns his own failings and commits to his mistakes. I wanted that to come up in this fic, and it really felt organic for it to occur in this moment where Keyleth's watching him and recalling the things he does for the people he cares about -- he has issues, yes, but it's the little things like this that prove he isn't a bad man. Just a damaged one.
For Vex, I knew I needed an inciting incident to kick off the claw machine heist, and the image of a little Trinket plush in a skill game would not leave me. Vex likes material things in canon but they feed in to her years of starvation and barely scraping by as a child/young adult; the only way she would be this drawn to a cheap toy is if she either wanted one badly as a child and never got it or she had one and was forced to leave it behind. My personal headcanon is that it was her favorite toy as a child, one of the very few things Elaina was ever able to buy her children to play with, and Vex was forced by Syldor to leave it behind when he took her and Vax to live with him (stuffed toys don't tend to survive house fires very well, so she never saw it again). And I think that sudden spike of grief and longing and nostalgia coupled with the childish instinct to just... grab something you love dearly and run would leave her off balance enough to admit her past association with the toy to her friends, because we all know Vex plays things close to the vest when it comes to vulnerability.
So. All of those things together culminated in Keyleth (me. read: me) rambling for like six thousand words about my blorbos, and I'm so glad Tumblr doesn't give an ask response word count because dear fucking Jesus I don't even wanna know how long I've been droning on
THANK YOU AGAIN TIA I LOVE YOU FEEL FREE TO ASK ME ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING IVE EVER WRITTEN IM NOT SLIGHTLY MANIC ABOUT THIS NOPE NOT ME

Scarlet Blaze Salt Mine Highlights Because I Feel Like It(tm)
There's going to be so much petty salt that you'll probably need to get your blood pressure checked. Enjoy!
EDIT: Finished Scarlet Blaze, so I added more images. Part 2 is here.
Tumblr media
The Sun Should Have Never Set on Our Empire(tm)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Somehow they made Faye but even worse. And unlike Faye, Monica is a garbage unit. Seems hard to pull off in a Musou game, but her spell list is a mess, as are her stats, and her personal skill is even worse.
Tumblr media
They tried to erase her wanting to kill Rhea, but then she still says she wants to kill Rhea anyway. But devs said she's happier and nicer guyz.
Tumblr media
Lorenz has siblings now I guess. Note that in his Lysithea Support, Hubert also mentions having a brother and a sister. but he's still the eldest. So why was he stuck to Child No. 9 again???
Tumblr media
Labrunda was found in the Stockpile of Convenient Sacred Weapons That Exist Now(tm).
Tumblr media
Not only does she still belittle the guy and think him unworthy of her time like in Houses, but come Chapter 14 (providing you kill Byleth's disaster dad), she apparently genuinely was upset that he betrays her. But then again, he happily licks her feet on Golden Piss, so meh.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...am I supposed to feel something right now
Tumblr media
I'm beginning to suspect that the Koei devs were pissed that Byleth the Local Churchgoer was more popular than Edelgard.
Tumblr media
Aegir has claim to a stretch of sea that doubles up as their trade route to Morfis. This specific trading relationship is also mentioned in one of the books that shares details about the Empire's territories.
Claude: "BUT FODLAN HATES FOREIGNERS AND THE MEANIE CHURCH SCREAMED AT THEM TO NEVER INTERACT WITH OUTSIDERS Now shut up Dimitri and let me raid your treasure vault you're only being ignorant of my customs."
Tumblr media
Only Edelgard's feelings are allowed to be hurt, remember?
Also, whomever calls Byleth a block of wood again should probably take a look at Shez on SB, because calling SB!Shez a block of wood would be an insult to wood.
Tumblr media
There's so much disturbing dehumanization of the Nabatean characters (and Byleth by extension), but sure, Arval's soooo sympathetic because he cares about his War Boys, I guess. Oh, and he denounced Thales! What a good lad! /s
Duma take the wheel

Look, I know a macaron is technically a type of cookie, but can't you just call it a goddamn macaron!? Bear in mind that this is the same game that conflates coffee with teff, and the localization actually made a good change by just calling the stupid drink coffee.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I murderkilled Byleth's disaster dad for this go-around and Byleth tips off Claude about...something. Of what, I don't know, but it makes Claude opt for an ill-fated betrayal. He lays it on thick with Byleth, and while Edelgard may get an extra chapter and a marginally better outcome by letting Walmart Greil live, the "what-if...ing..." if you will, is played up the hardest with Claude, which is really saying something considering the original game. And honestly, the what-if-ing does make a level of sense with Claude...but then, you have aspects of him that have nothing to do with Byleth at all perverted by the narrative, as detailed in this post.
Like seriously, even with something like having to murder a half-sibling who repeatedly says to your face that you're a mongrel who deserves to d*e looming over you, like...instead of making something potentially interesting, they derailed him so badly. Honestly, I feel for his Japanese VA struggling to get a good read on the character.
Anyway, end rant.
Tumblr media
Even Byleth thinks he's laying it on thick.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I feel like this alleged duress of signing a pact with the Empire would've landed better if it actually was done in the span of days or even weeks, but GW and SB both state it took about four months, which would've been well after any dust settling from Shahid's second raid of the Locket.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Claude, the country you rule has like...almost zero culture.
Sigh.
Tumblr media
No shit.
Tumblr media
Fuck off, Claude.

...seriously, why does this dude hate the Nabateans as virulently as she does? It's actually pretty ironic - folks will haw about Dedue or Catherine having no minds of their own, but it's Hubert who's really the most mindless one of all. He mostly lacks the rich inner lives and backstories the other two have.
Tumblr media
Sylvain, 90% of the time, is C-Tier. 10% of the time, like right now though? SSS-Tier. Absolutely brutal. Wish we had even more of him.
Tumblr media
YA THINK!?!?!?
Tumblr media
Because I couldn't be bothered (and because the only Deer with exclusive Eagle Supports/incentives are Lysithea and Lorenz), I only got Shez whining about Claude betraying Egg. Most of the other Deer have unique dialogue doing the same. It's kind of sad how little most of them think of Claude, but then again, he can be a massive dick.
TBC Since I hit the image limit!

       SMALL  LIBERO  to  put  herself  between  ,  so  easily  willing  to  throw  herself  in  the  line  of  danger  between  eiji  and  BOY'S  TEAM  captain  (  mr  .  charisma  .  lover  boy  .  OIKAWA  .  )  ,  "  look  at  me  ,  "  she  says  gently  ,  golden  eyes  begging  for  his  gaze  so  it  doesn't  linger  on  her  superior  ,  "  it's  ---  it's  FINE  ,  "  body  blocking  him  ,  refusing  to  let  eiji  pass  her  by  ,  "  calm  down  .  i  ...  i  got  you  .  it's  okay  .  just  ...  just  let  it  go  .  "  small  ,  calloused  hands  grip  his  wrists  ,  almost  impassible  grip  .  @knifvd
Tumblr media
on most days he was able to ignore what the team captain had to say regarding things OFF the court. especially the comments regarding their relationship. after all, they weren't very different from what his stepfather had to say about him being the team's ALTERNATE-- or as he liked to put it the BENCHWARMER. not that it bothered him too much. volleyball was just something he enjoyed, it wasn't something he could see himself pursuing after high school.
he HOPED the same could be said about aiko. but maybe he was worried for nothing. she barely reacted to the provoking comments other teams made about her height before the matches. then again why would she? when she could respond with her skills that PROMPTLY shut them up.
and those moments were always the most satisfying when he watched her play.
he stole a brief glance toward her, expecting to see her stare straight ahead like the famous ice girl she was known for. but instead, he was greeted with her looking UNCOMFORTABLE. almost as if she wanted to speak up but didn't want to go against their superior. normally he could control himself better, but now that it directly involved her something inside him SNAPPED. before he could think it through, he lunged forward intending to punch his captain -- or future ex-captain -- squarely on the jaw.
at least, that was his plan until her voice CUT through his thoughts and pulled him back to the present. it was only then did he realize how STUPID he was to act on impulse. he hated how the strong but TREMBLING grip on his wrists gave him comfort but also made him feel ashamed. why.. did she put herself in the middle? in his blinded rage, he could have knocked her over. or worse-- he could have INJURED her and completely ruined her season stats.
he inhaled deeply, eyes reluctantly pulling away from her golden gaze as he slowly closed them in an attempt to regain his usual calm composure. but he was filled with so much frustration and shame at himself that it wasn't doing very much. thankfully his captain was able to read the room, for ONCE, and left them alone. with a sigh, he slumped forward and gently rested his forehead on her shoulder, "you shouldn't have jumped in like that.. i could have hurt you.." he mumbled, too ASHAMED to lift his head and look her in the eyes. "i don't care what he says about me.. but i don't want you or your name getting dragged into things like this because of me."

Tell me about your Detective(s)!!!
Their romances, bff, whether they are shy or bold?
(also. Gimme gimme some references. 🕵🏼)
I fear that you are about to start discovering that I am the most indecisive person on the planet and the fact that I ever made it past the very first decision in book 1 is a miracle itself
But thank you for asking!! because I also love to talk 😈
I currently have 3 detectives (kind of, two of them are *this* close to being sent back to my lil sandbox)
Rose (Rosie) Palmer:
Rose is my favorite and actually both my Nate/Mason detective (She was my first detective and I did Nate's route first, but when I started Mason's next I was like.............I don't want to make anyone new, I love her). In Nate's route, Mason is the bff and in Mason's, it's Nate lol I just love them too much. Despite being an only child, she's what I call the Big Sister Friend, because she'll "bully" you mercilessly then turn around and defend you within an inch of her life from anyone else who even thinks about hurting you. (as a big sister, I feel qualified to bestow this title upon her) Her top two professional skills are Science and Deduction. She's bold until someone (Mason) calls her bluff.
She's *mostly* the same in both routes, but somehow in Mason's, I never got a skill above 70 in book 2, so I assume that's why she kept getting the shit kicked out of her in book 3. She's definitely a people pleaser, "no I'm fine!" (screaming internally) type gal. So her relationship w/ Rebecca is like, right in the middle because she's like "yeah sure whatever" while clenching her teeth, just to avoid an argument. There's a lot of anger simmering just below the surface, but she doesn't want to take it out on anyone. And she's a lot like Adam in that she's going to (and wants to) be the decision maker, so when it all goes to hell, it's on her. She's going to worry about everyone else before herself and soon she is going to come apart at the seams. Overall, she has a strong sense of duty, cares a lot, and is funnier than me. Her true bestie is actually the legend, Vieno. I don't have any good visual references of her yet because frankly this is the first time I've ever let my detectives exist outside of my own head, but please accept this offering of a song from my wayhaven playlist (update: oops just kidding now they're real and viewable) Rose: "You First" by Paramore, "King" by Florence + The Machine Nate x Rose: "Midnight Rain" by Taylor Swift, "Can't Take My Eyes off You" by Frankie Valli Mason x Rosie: "Bleed Magic" by idkhow, "Work Song" by Hozier (bonus: "Cruel Summer" by Taylor Swift)
ok moving on
My Adam detective got an actual non-generic name 3 seconds ago, because like I said, indecisive🫠
Eleanor Drake
Eleanor is SO lonely and bitter, I want to hug her. She's a "rebellious youth" detective because she spent her teen years trying to do increasingly outlandish things, just trying to get her mom to notice her and maybe even have to come home. And now she's in love with Adam and playing the worst game of "He loves me, he loves me not" of all time. She's pretty by the book these days, her highest stats are combat and people, and she didn't encourage Tina or Verda to search for the truth, so she's LONELY lonely by book 3. Her bff is Felix!! She needs someone to lean on and brighten up this miserable existence I have crafted for her. Eleanor: "Motion Sickness" by Phoebe Bridgers, "Matilda" by Harry Styles Adam x Eleanor: "Dancing With Our Hands Tied" by Taylor Swift, "Heaven, Iowa" by Fall Out Boy
Barbara (Barbie) Cooper
This is my newest Felix detective (I had another but we were not vibing). She is sunshine personified and her name is Barbie because I created her the same day of the Barbie trailer drop. Her top skills are People and Deduction, she's so bright and enthusiastic that Adam constantly feels like wearing his sunglasses around her, yet they're also besties. She's very good at playing mediator when clashing opinions arise. She's the type to do things properly right up until someone she loves is in trouble, and then she'll break all the rules without thought. She has a good relationship with Rebecca, but I kinda want to start destroying it with every secret Rebecca reveals..... She's also a WIP that may need to be reworked idk Barbie: "Choreomania" by Florence + the Machine, "Last Hope" by Paramore Felix x Barbie: "Shinunoga E-Wa" by Fujii Kaze, "She's so High" by Tal Bachman
Thank you again for asking!! I feel strangely sweaty about finally sharing my detectives out loud lmao
