Happy Birthday @wynnyfryd 🥰🥰🥰 I've had this idea floating around in my brain for a while now and seeing it was your birthday prompted me to finish it 💕

---

It's his first time in Indianapolis as an out bisexual, so of course Robin takes him to a gay club - to experience the drag queens and to see other queer people having fun, she says.

It's a little overwhelming, the bright lights and the music and the people. But he's having a great time, people watching and drinking virgin daiquiris and talking with Robin.

She's been here before - she came with Vickie when they were still together one weekend and they had a blast. So when Steve figured his sexuality shit out and came out to her, this was the first place she wanted to take him.

Now, he can see why. It's a haven of sorts. Gay men dancing together and kissing each other, gay women getting cozy in the booths, drag queen and drag kings about. He hasn't felt like he's belonged somewhere in a long time, but it kind of feels like he belongs here. The atmosphere is welcoming and kind.

They dance a little before everything gets overwhelming and then they find an empty booth to sit down and sip at their drinks in.

Robin keeps trying to encourage him to find someone to kiss so that they can call this night a success, but he keeps telling her that no one has caught his eye. And it's kind of true. He's seen some men that he thinks might be his type, but they're all paired up with men who look nothing like Steve. Even then, the few people that have caught his eye weren't right, somehow.

He keeps holding out, hoping to find someone that makes his heart skip a beat, or whatever the appropriate cliche for a gay club is.

And it. It happens.

He glances over at the bar as he's taking the last few sips of his drink, thinking about if he wants to brave the crowd at the bar, when he sees him.

His heart doesn't skip a beat, but he knows as soon as he lays eyes on him that he wants him. He's beautiful - and intimidating.

He's sitting facing away from the bar with his legs splayed open, ripped jeans revealing what looks like fishnet stockings underneath them. He's wearing a tank top that's showing off his many tattoos and Steve is struck with the urge to know what they taste like. His combat boots are clunky and could seriously kick someone's ass if they messed with him. His wavy hair is half tied up, a messy ponytail holding his hair out of his face, but the bottom half is freely falling past his shoulders.

He kind of feels like he's been bit by the love bug - he can't take his eyes off him.

He knows Robin is saying something to him, but he can't even hear it. It's all just background noise. He doesn't think he's ever been so captivated by someone before. He wants to put his mouth on him.

"Steve? Oh my god, stop ignoring me!" Robin says and snaps her fingers in front of his face, pulling him from his reverie. He looks over at her sheepishly.

"Sorry, Robbie," he says, looking back over at the guy briefly and yep, he's still just as hot as the first time he looked.

"What was that? Did you see someone you like? You looked like you blacked out for a minute there," she says, a smirk pulling at her lips.

He rolls his eyes. Of course she already knows - his type is people that look like they could stomp on him and he'd say thanks. "Black tank top, ripped jeans, at the bar. I think I'm in love," he says with a sigh. He's way too intimidated to go over there.

She squeals in his ear and says, "This is so exciting! You have to go kiss him now."

"Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not just gonna go up to a stranger and ask if he'll be my first gay kiss."

"And why not?" she asks, stirring her drink.

"Because that's insane," he says. "He's probably already got someone. He's, he's gorgeous. There's no way he's here alone." It's a shame, but it's probably true - he's way too good looking to be here alone.

"There's only one way to find out," Robin says. She leans forward and whispers in his ear, a challenge of sorts.

"You can't be serious," he says to her, questioning his own sanity for even entertaining her for one second.

She leans back in and whispers more into his ear and he groans.

"You're diabolical," he tells her, pulling back to smack a kiss on her forehead. He stands up and takes a deep breath before marching over to the bar. He can't believe he's doing this.

He marches right up to the guy and immediately every word in his vocabulary is gone. He's so fucking pretty.

"Um. Uh, hi," he says, stupidly.

The guy bites his lip and grins at him. He says, "Hi," back to him and Steve is literally going to die, he thinks. He couldn't see it from across the club before, but this guy has a lip piercing, and Steve wants to know what it feels like against his mouth so fucking bad.

"I need you to kiss me," he blurts out, trying not to cringe.

"You need me to, to kiss you?" the guy asks, and this was a bad idea, the worst idea Robin's ever had. There's no way he's going to agree to this.

"So, my friend-" he stops, looking back at Robin - she waves at them. He's trying so hard not to blush as he turns back to the guy and says, "She bet me that I couldn't get a guy to kiss me since it's my first time here. So I was wondering if you would kiss me, so I can win the bet." He's steeling himself for rejection, for this guy to tell him to fuck off or maybe have mercy and let him down gently by telling him he's taken.

But he just smiles, tilting his head at Steve. "Why me?"

"Hmm?" Steve asks.

"Why me?" the guy asks again. "Out of all the guys here, you picked me. Why?"

Steve sputters for a second. "You, I mean. You have to know how you look, right? Like, you're gorgeous."

He grins again, tonguing at his lip ring and Steve is so down bad for him, it's actually insane. "Okay," he says. "I'll accept that answer. Now, if you get your kiss, you win your bet, but what's in it for me?"

Steve is hoping that if he's still talking to him, that means he actually has a shot. He's feeling dizzy with how much he wants to kiss him. He really fucking hopes he can kiss him.

He says, "A kiss?" with what he hopes is a charming - and not at all maniacal - grin.

The guy snorts. Rude. He snorts at Steve and says, "I think I'll need a little more that that, don't you think, sweetheart?"

Steve nods dumbly, says, "I'll split my winnings with you. Would that work?"

He's not expecting it to work, is the thing. He doesn't expect him to say yes.

Which is why he's so surprised when he reaches out and tugs Steve closer by the collar of his shirt. He did not know being yanked around was his thing, but apparently it is because good god.

"That works for me," the guy says, eyes going molten as he looks at Steve.

He can't believe that worked. Holy shit.

He's. He's nervous, he realizes. He's had a lot of first kisses, been on many first dates that ended in him kissing someone unfamiliar. But this is nerve-wracking for him in a way it hasn't been before.

He lets the guy pull him in further by his collar, lets him control when the kiss happens.

The first press of their lips has Steve sighing and opening his mouth slightly, wanting more, wanting to taste him. He kisses him, lets himself be kissed really. He opens his mouth more when a tongue snakes out and presses into his mouth.

Steve's hands come up to pull him closer, to pull - fuck, he doesn't even know his name, yet. He's doing this all wrong. He meant to get his name before shoving his tongue down his throat.

But it's good, the feeling of soft lips pressed against his, the cold metal of his piercing pressing against his mouth, his tongue stroking over Steve's in a way that makes him wish they were alone, wish they weren't here surrounding by all these people. He wants to kiss him and keep kissing him until the breath runs out of his lungs. He wants to put his hands on him, to dip his fingers into the rips in his jeans and feel the rough fishnets against his fingertips.

He pulls his mouth away to gasp out, "What's your name?" because he needs to know, needs to have some connection, some thread to hold onto, to grasp as they're kissing.

"Eddie," he whispers against Steve's mouth. "What's yours?" Eddie asks. Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.

"Steve," he says before pressing his mouth against Eddie's again. He wants to kiss him forever. He never wants to stop. He wants Eddie to keep licking into his mouth like he owns it until the bartender yells out that it's last call. He wants Eddie to keep holding him like this until Robin drags him away as they turn the lights on in the club to kick everyone out. He wants, he wants, he wants.

He gets a hand tangled in Eddie's hair and gets their heads tilted right so that they can lick deeper into each other's mouths. It's burning him up inside, the way their tongues are sliding together, the way Eddie's licking behind his teeth and sucking on his tongue like he's trying to taste the daiquiri he was drinking earlier.

Eddie tastes like tobacco and something sweet, like he was drinking something sweet before Steve came up to him too. God, Steve wants to know everything about him - what's his go-to drink order, does he smoke, does he prefer beer over mixed drinks, is he seeing anyone, please don't be seeing anyone, god.

He feels desperate, he feels out of control. He wants Eddie to take him apart like he's never wanted anything else in his life. He wants those hands on him, wants to feel the rings on his fingers pressing marks into his skin. He want his hands gripping his hips, sliding down and touching him. He doesn't think he's ever wanted like this.

The only reason they break apart is because someone's elbow ends up in Steve's back and he ends up pushed further into the crease of Eddie's thigh. He feels him hard against him and he knows Eddie can feel how hard he is too. Fuck, it's like everything else faded away when Eddie's mouth was on his, but now that they're not kissing, he's suddenly achingly aware that he's hard in his incredibly tight pants after making out with Eddie for god knows how long.

His face is probably red and sweaty, but Eddie's still looking at him like he wants him and god, does he want him back.

But he pulls back a little, puts some space between their hips because he quite literally can't ditch Robin here go hook up with Eddie, no matter how much he wants to.

He bites his lip and pulls his hand back, the one that was tangled in Eddie's long hair. He puts it on Eddie's chest and asks, "Was that okay?" because he thinks he knows the answer, but it never hurts to hear it.

Eddie huffs out a laugh and says, "Was that okay, he asks. Sweetheart, I think you and I both know that was something on a completely different realm from just okay."

If Steve wasn't blushing before, he definitely is now. He says, "Good, good. I'm glad we're on the same page."

Eddie leans close like he's going to kiss him again. He brushes his lips against Steve's in a dry press - barely a kiss, but it has Steve aching all the same anyway. He drags his mouth along his jaw, just mouthing at it, and it's the hottest thing Steve's ever felt.

He whispers in Steve's ear, "Your friend is trying really hard to get your attention right now," and that pulls Steve right back down to earth.

He pulls away again and turns around to see Robin waving her arms at him. He puts his hands on his hips and raises his eyebrows at her. She waves her hand at him, beckoning him back to their table so he holds up a finger to tell her to hold the fuck on.

He turns back around and says, "I think I'm being summoned. As much as I want to stay and as much as I, like, desperately want to keep kissing you, I should get back to my friend."

Eddie crosses his arms over his chest and leans back against the bar and Steve can't help the way his eyes sweep over him again. Eddie's smirking when he looks back up at him.

"That's fair," Eddie says. "So, what did we win?"

Steve makes a questioning sound, before he remembers what Eddie's talking about. He sheepishly brings a hand up to swipe his hair out of his face where its begun to stick to his forehead. "Oh, uh, about that. There never really was a bet."

"Really?" Eddie asks, leaning forward again into Steve space, like that's the most interesting thing he's heard all night.

Steve shakes his head. "I promised half of the winnings, but the winnings are zero, so half of zero is still zero, you know?"

Eddie grins at him and says, "You're kind of devious, you know that? Here I was, thinking I'd get a prize at the end of that kiss."

"Sorry for getting your hopes up, but I mean, it was a good kiss, right?" Steve asks, boldly leaning forward to press his mouth against Eddie's again. Eddie lets him, lets Steve kiss him, softer than before. Before it was all new and exciting and hot, and it still is, but this kiss is tender, pulling a gasp from Steve's lips when they separate.

"It was a good kiss," Eddie agrees, pecking him on the lips again, soft and sweet.

"Can I have your number?" Steve asks, trying to be brave for once. He got Eddie to kiss him, even if it was under less than truthful circumstances, but he hopes it was good enough to warrant a call back.

"Your friend, is she seeing anyone?" Eddie asks, and Steve's head is kind of spinning at the redirection there.

"She and her girlfriend broke up a couple months ago. Why?" he asks, wondering where this is going. If this guy is actually somehow straight and only kissed him to get with Robin, Steve's gonna lose it.

"I'll tell you what, if you can convince your friend to kiss my friend, you can have my number," Eddie says, gesturing to the girl that's been sitting next to him at the bar this entire time.

And- oh. Oh god, he's embarrassed.

Has she just been awkwardly sitting there while Eddie made out with him? He was half a second away from dry humping Eddie and his friend was sitting there patiently waiting for them to stop. That's embarrassing.

She's cute - she's got this whole cheery, bubblegum vibe to her that didn't make Steve glance twice at her once he had his eyes set on Eddie because the two of them are kind of polar opposites. He didn't think they were here together.

His eyes shift back and forth between them and she waggles her fingers at him in a wave, smirking at his caught out look.

"Chrissy," she says, sticking out her hand to shake Steve's. He's kind of intimidated by her too, but he's got to hand it to her - he doesn't think even Robin would sit through him making out with someone right next to her. He guesses he does kind of owe it to both her and Robin. He and Eddie were making out for a while.

"Steve," he says, lamely. "Sorry for making out with your friend right next to you. Um, I'm gonna go grab Robin now."

They both watch him as he leaves, which makes his skin prickle and his heartbeat speed up. He makes a beeline back to Robin and lets her coo at him for a minute about having his first gay kiss.

She's talking a mile a minute asking about how it was, if he got his number, when Steve interrupts her.

"Bobbin, you are not gonna believe this," he says, and when he's got her attention, he continues, "I think I just found you a girlfriend?"

Bonus chapter: Bali vacation

The golden rays of the Bali sun danced across the lush greenery as Yn and Joris stepped out of their dorm in the private villa, greeted by the aroma of exotic flowers and the distant sound of cascading waterfalls. Charles, Alexandra, Andrea, Arthur, and Anthoine were already up, chatting excitedly about the day's plans. She took in the warm breeze, feeling the excitement bubble within her. This vacation was long overdue, especially after Charles' recent success in Australia.

"Bon matin!" She called out with a wide grin, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Good morning, sleepyheads!" Charles replied, her own excitement palpable as she joined the group. "What's on the agenda for today?" She asked her brother while hugging her younger brother and seeing him happy after tough times.

"Today's agenda: waterfall exploration" Charles announced with a grin while having breakfast, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Sounds perfect" Yn replied, matching her brother's enthusiasm. She glanced at Joris, who was already capturing the moment with his camera, a wide smile etched on his face.

Their first stop was Tegenungan Waterfall, its cascading waters a sight to behold.

“Can you believe we're actually here?" Yn exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she took in the breathtaking scenery

Charles chuckled, slinging an arm around her shoulders. "It's about time we took a break from the fast life, don't you think?"

Joris nodded, his arm wrapped securely around Yn's waist. "Definitely. It's like something out of a dream," Joris murmured, his gaze fixed on the natural wonder before them

Yn nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of serenity wash over her. "Let's take a dip" she suggested, kicking off her shoes and wading into the refreshing waters, as she couldn't resist the urge to dip her toes into the cool pool below, laughter bubbling from her lips as Charles playfully splashed water at her

"Charles, stop!" she giggled, trying to shield herself from the playful assault

"Never!" he declared, a mischievous glint in his eyes

As they dried off and continued their journey, they stumbled upon an elephant sanctuary. Yn's heart swelled with joy as she interacted with the majestic creatures, where they had the opportunity to interact with these majestic creatures up close. Yn couldn't contain her joy as she fed bananas to them and marveled at their intelligence

"This is incredible," she murmured, her eyes shining with wonder

"It's incredible how gentle they are," Alex remarked, her heart swelling with affection for the magnificent animals

Joris captured the moment, his camera clicking away as he immortalized their shared experience. Yn stole a glance at him, a surge of warmth flooding her heart at the sight of her boyfriend capturing memories they would cherish forever

"Isn't this amazing, Jojo?" Yn exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement as they passed by colorful stalls selling handmade crafts and aromatic street food

Joris wrapped an arm around her shoulders, his gaze mirroring her awe. "Absolutely stunning, just like you," he whispered, earning a playful nudge from Yn

Later that day, as the sun dipped below the horizon, laughter echoed from the terrace, where Joris and Anthoine were engaged in a friendly game of table tennis

"Looks like they're having fun," Yn remarked, her gaze drifting to where Alexandra and Andrea were engrossed in conversation by the pool

"They certainly are," Charles agreed, a soft smile tugging at his lips. "It's good to see everyone enjoying themselves”

After a delicious dinner prepared by Andrea and Yn, where she and Andrea bonded over their shared love of cooking, exchanging stories, they found themselves sitting on the terrace, a stack of board games spread out before them

"È così bello cucinare con te, Yn" Andrea said, a smile lighting up her face. (It's so nice cooking with you, Yn)

Yn returned the sentiment, feeling a sense of belonging in Andrea's presence. "Grazie, Andrea. È un piacere" (Thank you, Andrea. It's a pleasure)

"Prepare to lose, little sis," Charles teased, eyeing the Scrabble board with determination.

Yn laughed, shaking her head. "We'll see about that, frère"

As they played, the competitive spirit that ran in the Leclerc blood took over, and soon they were engrossed in a fierce battle of words.

In between rounds, Yn stole glances at her brothers, feeling a surge of affection for them. Despite the pressures of their respective careers, moments like these reminded her of the unbreakable bond they shared.

The following morning, Yn joined Alexandra for a shopping excursion, exploring the vibrant markets and boutique stores that lined the streets of Ubud.

"Tu trouves quelque chose d'intéressant?" Alexandra asked, holding up a delicate handcrafted necklace. (Do you find anything interesting?)

Yn nodded, admiring the intricate design. "Oui, c'est magnifique!" she exclaimed, smiling warmly. (Yes, it's beautiful!)

As they wandered through the bustling streets, Yn couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over her. In the midst of paradise, surrounded by loved ones, she knew that this vacation in Bali would be a cherished memory for years to come.

Their adventures in the island, led them to vibrant markets, where Yn and Alexandra indulged in a spree of shopping, their laughter ringing through the air as they haggled with vendors over colorful clothes and lots of souvenirs.

"It's so nice to spend this time with you," Yn smiled, linking arms with Alexandra as they strolled along the bustling streets.

"I couldn't agree more," Alexandra replied, her laughter tinkling like wind chimes in the breeze.

"Tu trouves quelque chose d'intéressant?" Alexandra asked, holding up a delicate handcrafted necklace. (Do you find anything interesting?)

Yn nodded, admiring the intricate design. "Oui, c'est magnifique!" she exclaimed, smiling warmly. (Yes, it's beautiful!)

One evening, Yn and Joris stole away for a romantic dinner in a quaint village restaurant, savoring each moment of solitude amidst the bustling energy of Bali.

Tu es magnifique ce soir" Joris murmured, his eyes sparkling with adoration (You look beautiful tonight)

Yn's cheeks flushed pink as she leaned closer, her heart fluttering at his words. "Merci, mon amour, toi aussi," she whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips

"Il fait tellement beau ici, n'est-ce pas?" Yn remarked, her eyes sparkling with joy as she savored the flavors of Balinese cuisine. ("It's so beautiful here, isn't it?")

Joris nodded, his gaze softening as he reached across the table to take her hand. "C'est magique, tout comme toi." ("It's magical, just like you.")

As they reached the villa, laughter and chatter greeted them. Charles and Arthur were engaged in a heated game of Monopoly, their competitive spirits evident in every move.

"Ah, look who's finally decided to grace us with their presence," Charles teased, flashing a grin at his sister and Joris.

"Monopoly, encore?" Yn teased, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. ("Monopoly, again?")

Charles chuckled, exchanging a knowing look with Arthur. "You know you love it, Yn."

"Care to join in?" Arthur asked, gesturing to the board.

Yn chuckled, shaking her head. "Maybe other day. Jojo and I have other plans for the evening."

Joris smirked, wrapping an arm around Yn's waist. "Indeed we do."

Charles and Arthur's expressions shifted from amusement to mock horror in an instant. "Yn!" Charles exclaimed, his cheeks flushing slightly. "Trop d'information!" (Too much information!) and Joris and Yn leave laughing at her brothers antics

Yn, Charles and Arthur also had time to go on a special siblings' day, their bond as strong as ever. They shared stories, laughter, and secrets, relishing the precious moments they spent together.

"Regardez, Yn!" Artie exclaimed, pointing excitedly at a display of souvenirs

Yn smiled, marveling at her brother's enthusiasm. "C'est magnifique, Artie! Let's get one for maman and Lolo, shall we?"

"Tu sais, Artie, peu importe ce qui arrive, nous serons toujours là l'un pour l'autre," Yn said, squeezing his hand reassuringly. (You know, Artie, no matter what happens, we'll always be there for each other.)

Arthur nodded, a grateful smile tugging at his lips. "Merci, Yn. Je ne sais pas ce que je ferais sans toi." (Thank you, Yn. I don't know what I would do without you.)

"Vous êtes les meilleurs frères du monde," Arthur declared, wrapping his arms around Yn and Charles in a tight hug. (You're the best siblings in the world.)

"Et vous, vous êtes les meilleures frère Turtur," Yn replied, pressing a kiss to his forehead. (And you're the best brothers)

Their week was filled with laughter, love, and cherished memories, weaving a tapestry of moments that would forever bind them together as siblings.

Under Anthoine's guidance, Yn delved into the art of photography, discovering a newfound passion for capturing moments frozen in time and she absorbed the wisdom of Anthoine.

"Merci pour ton aide, Anthoine," Yn said, gratitude shining in her eyes. (Thank you for your help, Anthoine.)

Anthoine grinned, his enthusiasm infectious. "De rien, Yn. C'est un plaisir de t'aider." (You're welcome, Yn. It's a pleasure to help you.)

"Patience et passion sont les clés de la photographie," Anthoine explained, his words resonating with Yn as she captured the beauty of Bali through her own lens. (Patience and passion are the keys to photography.)

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting the sky in hues of pink and orange, Yn couldn't help but feel grateful for the precious time spent with her loved ones in the enchanting paradise of Bali.

"Such a nice, plump frame, what's-his-name has...had...

Has."

proper AU info under the cut but i offer yall!

Eat or Be Eaten AU!

The Putt Putts were grateful for what they had. Every inch of Hole In Fun was theirs, and it was safe. With a metal door and high walls caging them off from potential Bergan attacks, along with plenty of land for growing crops... It was practically perfect.

Except...the limited food.

Crops were fine. Sweet breads made from flower-flour was always sustainable, but you can't expect an entire tribe to live off nothing but bread their entire lives. And meat was sustainable, but the frozens were running out. Their only sources of FOOD were running out, and Viva could see it on her subject's faces.

They were starving.

The following days of the realization included plenty of arguments, fights, and biting. Viva had to come up with a solution, and fast, along with Clay who was happy to help, and was just as desperate as the Queen.

Their answer, quite literally, arrived at their doorstep.

A Bergen. He was tall, but nothing like the grubby old Bergens who dug their nasty fingers in their Troll Tree all those years ago. And the sight of Trolls had him confused, then excited.

Then her people pounced, and Clay learned the clown crusher worked perfectly. Too well. Uncomfortably well.

While the Trolls celebrated their success at defending themselves, Viva and Clay were busy trying to figure out what to do with the body now. It takes their strongest Trolls to pull the body behind the Admin Building, a body that dwarfs the building itself.

They both retreat inside once the night and cleanup are finished, Viva on the verge of frantic. She needs her people to eat, SHE needs to eat. Everyone's hungry, they're running out of food, and she doesn't want to know what'll happen if they all fall into a feral state.

Then, Clay quietly moves to the window where the body sits...and a realization hits.

They can't exactly bury the body, and they cant leave it outside of the Hole In Fun, but they do have one way of getting rid of the body AND feeding their people at the same time!

If you ask him...

It's time they grow a taste for higher grade meats.

===

Basically instead of the Putt Putts hiding out and making the Golf Course as unnoticable as possible, they instead spruce the entire area up and give it a fresh coat of paint! it looks like its open, with shiny lights and happy music from the inside during "business hours" and after

When really, its the Putt Putts luring Bergens into their home to kill and eat them :D

If the Bergens thought they were tasty, then I can assure you these Trolls find them delectable~ Fatty and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Plus, it makes them stronger. Much like how eating Trolls makes Bergens happy, Bergen meat provides Trolls immense strength and speed

Makes convincing Viva that the Bergens are good people MUCH more difficult i'd say

i'll also say after so long of lack of sugary foods (lets be real they ran out of sugar a LONG time ago all that candy got eaten VERY quickly), the Putt Putts actually CANT digest immense amounts of sugar as Poppy's Pop Trolls can :)

this is just for me ngl but i hope yall find it interesting!

#trolls dreamworks #trolls viva #trolls clay #trolls au #eat or be eaten au #doodles #maybe i'll render this but ya know me may as well give yall somethin NOW then in like 20 years

So @lurkingteapot's post about Pat's Calvin Klein undies reminded me that we've seen this little colour combo before!

Red boxers wrapped in a beige package. Red, if we follow @dribs-and-drabbles's colour theory symbolises Pran, and beige (as a light brown) is representative of surrender.

The beige seems to signify Pat backing down from his fight with Pran. He's no longer trying to hinder Pran's efforts with reconciling Phupha and Tian. In fact, he's the one that suggests another way to help: roleplaying the couple's significant moments so that they can try to figure out for themselves when Phupha and Tian both first fell.

And then red boxers... well, I wonder what that could represent... I think it's safe to say that PatPran's little roleplay was always going to turn out horny haha.

But I said we'd seen this little combo before, didn't I? Well, I'm sure my fellow brain rotters know exactly which moment I'm referencing but let's bring up the pictures anyway. For science.

The most iconic 'surrender' scene in the entire original series perhaps. And here we get a nice indirect parallel. In both scenes, Pat stops fighting and stops pushing back. He signals that he's happy to give in. Pran almost relents in the episode 7 but then holds off in the last second. In Our Skyy, Pran pretends not to relent but then continues to let Pat help by roleplaying a second scene in the house that night.

They're also both scenes in which Pat offers up his body to Pran's desire. "Look at me. You want me, don't you?" and in both scenes Pran denies his interest. (Though he's much more successful in appearing unaffected in the newer scene. Perhaps because he's not suffering from extended blue balls syndrome. That being said, he does still seem to completely forget both his shirt AND shoes in his attempt to appear disinterested. He also couldn't quite resist leaving those abs alone, could he?)

I don't think the Our Skyy wardrobe choice was meant to be as significant as the original but I did think it was a fun little homage to the moment. Once again we see Our Skyy is a special very much produced for the fans by the fans. P'Aof and his crew are the biggest Bad Buddy nerds out there for sure.

#bad buddy #patpran #our skyy: bb #our skyy 2 #our skyy x bad buddy #bad buddy episode 7 #bad buddy wardrobe #pran parakul siridechawat #pat napat jindapat

howms’t does one approach cruising while trans?? i’m deeply intrigued by what i’ve seen when people ask about your sauna experiences and whatnot, and wonder if you wouldn’t mind taking a deeper dive into the basics (or link a post if this is something you’ve already discussed) but im really curious about things like how safe it is, how safe you personally Feel when doing it, success rate, managing expectations, and so on

I've posted about it before, but I know tumblr search is bad so I'm happy to reshare the info:

Cruising spots operate primarily on nonverbal communication, but it's so overt that even an empathy free Autistic like me can pick up on it.

Basically, if someone looks at you and holds their gaze for a while after you look back, they are trying to smash. To convey you are also interested, continue to stare back. Then either you or the other person can approach.

Light touching on the arm / ass / back /leg also signal interest. After someone engages with you in any of these ways, you can turn toward them and start touching them. If you want, you can then ask them about whatever it is you want to do: ask if they have a condom / if they want a blowjob / if they want to go find a quiet corner to head off to / whatever.

Or you can just initiate. Don't be afraid to touch people who have conveyed interest. You can say no or move someone's hand away at any time, or suggest an alternate activity, and they will do the same to you. Feel free to walk away at any time. Guys will also just up and walk away from you if they suddenly aren't feeling it. Don't get too in your head about it. That's just them exercising consent.

Alternatively, you can position your body in a way that is an open invitation: say, by draping yourself over a piece of furniture or in a sex swing/whatever's there, holes available, maybe some condoms laid next to you. I like to get a room and lay down ass up with condoms by my ass and mouth with a blindfold on and the door open.

Generally speaking if a person is lying ass up, they're looking to bottom, and if they are lying dick up or standing in one spot jerking off, they are looking to top.

You don't have much to worry about as a trans guy in gay saunas like Steamworks, or most other cruising spaces. Trans guys being there is not a big deal and is normal. I went many times long before I "passed", including with my tits out. It's not a big deal. Act like you being there is blase and that you're mildly bored and have done this a million times and nobody will care. (this is also a great tip for those new to using men's bathrooms btw. just act a little bored and aloof).

If you want to bring a buddy your first time, do it. It's normal to have nerves. You can just go with the intent of watching and not doing anything the first time. You never have to do anything you don't want to, but you very much belong there and some people will be interested, and the spa owners / bar owners will be used to the fact that trans guys go there. There may even be trans specific nights, but regardless you are welcome on any day.

Have fun!

Hello! I saw your headcanons and I loved your work, so I decided to request something myself.

Could you write about the Medic with a teenage daughter (you can alter to be gender neutral if you prefer) except this daughter, is a clone of his?

I'm guessing it was one of his experiments that he grew attached to, and saw as his own kid. Maybe headcanons of how she would be with her dad, or with the other mercenaries?

Tysm!!

General Red/Blu Medic with Clone Child Darling headcanons

↳ content warning: fluff, comfort, light angst, small mentions of objectifying darling, darling is semi-medic's child?, gender neutral darling, ooc(?)

• genre: platonic

• a/n: not my best work jshbn and kinda rushed- and ngl this somehow kinds of reminded me of emesis blue but bit lesss angst, lol thanks for requesting!

It was just an experiment. They're just an experiment.

Yet, who could've expect him to love them as if they were an actual human? He certainly hadn't think so much about it either.

Sure, he is somewhat fond and affecionate towards his experiments, but it was in a rather twisted sense and because they showed good results.

If the results doesn't satisfy him as much.. well, he'd still care for them, just not as much as for the succesful ones.

After a small success in a project he and engineer had collaborate to create, an idea came into his mind.. although even he wasn't sure what he wants to do, he decides to give it a try. After all, he is a scientist! What kind of scientist doesn't like to try out new things?

Was he crazy to mix his DNA into this to create something akin to this humanoid like creature? Maybe.

Was he crazy to somehow brought this thing to life and gives it its own sentience? Hah, no!

The mercs can complaint all they like about how weird and creepy the duplicates and clones in his lab are, he cares about good results! If that means almost filling his lab with those things so be it. Atleast heavy doesn't mind it so much.

You were yet another clone of a bunch prototypes he'd worked on. Unlike the other clones which would often break, you were much more capable! Sure there were some flaws but that can easily be fixed. He's just so delighted to have created such a impressive outcome!

Oftentimes he'd make you do things that's almost against your will but that's fine. Just some reiterating and you should be exactly like what he wanted.

But that didn't happen. Instead it makes you more aware. It's like you are an actual human and it takes awhile for him to actually acknowledge this. When he do, he'll also realize how his ways of showing his favoring changes to actual love.

The others would pointed it out, how he treated you alot better than his other experiments. How he'd brush your hair and interacted with you as if he's talking to his own kid. Some had expected this however, he is mad anyway.

Soon he see how the others treated you over time, from awkwardness and confusion to slowly warming up to you and accepting you! It makes him feel happy that they aren't forever so frightened by you. You are his best after all. He's also pleased how you went from hating doing experiments with him to actually enjoying it aswell. He doesn't want you to miss out to the fun!

Would probably read you bed stories whether if you asked for it or not, be it from books he had when he's younger or just random stuffs he thought of.

Outside battlefield stuffs, he enjoys doing domestic and simple things he didn't think he wanted to do before.

Medic didn't realize how much he actually enjoys the idea of having a child or rather because it is his own creation, either whatever the reason is, he's just grateful for your existence.

REBLOGS/ FEEDBACK/ COMMENTS ARE APPRECIATED!

Can I request Levi x reader where reader is a neurosurgeon and Levi is tired with the patients that try to flirt with reader her wife ( modern au) ?

@kenkopanda-art <3

It's hard sometimes

Pairing: Dr Levi x Neurosurgeon Fem!Reader

Genre and tags: Modern AU, romance, fluff, married, cute, frustrated Levi, possessive Levi.

Concept: You and Levi are successful at the hospital and do well. Levi tends to children only and you're a neurosurgeon. Levi has a fun time with the kids, but you have all kinds of ages. Levi notices that a lot of your patients try to flirt with you. Levi assists you one day and gets even more irritated by some of the patients.

Taglist: @levisbrat25 @ladycheesington @skittlelover69 @nyxiieluna @nbinairyn @li-anne @strawberrybunny123 @notgoodforlife @galactict3a @demonsimp6

Levi smiled at a little girl as he checked her chart. "Looks like you're on the mend. I would say you get to go home before your birthday!"

She giggled and clapped her hands. "Thank you. I'll miss you, Levi."

He picked up a bag and offered it to her. "A little something from me to you."

She pulled out a bear from the bag and welled up. "Thank you. Can I hug you?"

Her mum nodded. "I'm okay with it, doctor."

Levi hugged the little girl. "I know it sounds mean, but I hope I don't see you again."

She giggled. "Cause if you do, it means I'm sick."

Levi winked at her. "Correct." He stood up and waved to her. "Bye-bye."

He walked out of the room and made his way down the hall where you worked. He wanted to see you and knew he had a break from patients. He hummed a little song to himself as he thought about you, his wife. He wanted to give you a hug and some kisses in private.

He paused outside a room and heard you giggling. He looked into the room to see a patient of yours trying to flirt with you. You were brushing him off and deflecting him as much as possible. You weren't accepting any of it. Levi was still annoyed that a guy was trying hard to flirt with you.

Levi leaned in the doorway and called your name. "Everything okay?"

You smiled at Levi. "Hey, honey. Everything okay?"

He nodded. "Yeah."

You smiled at him. "Good. The little girl like her bear?"

"Loved it."

You giggled and grabbed your little light. "Perfect." You sat in front of your patient. "Just going to check your pupil response."

Your patient smiled. "So I get to gaze at you for a bit? That sounds fun."

Levi strolled in and picked up the patient's chart. "Do you need help?"

You sat back and put the light away. "I would love your help." You gave Levi some directions as you checked everything else. You sighed off on the form and smiled. "You're showing great signs of progress. Seems the surgery went well. I'm going to keep you here for three more days and then I am happy to send you home."

The patient groaned. "Really? I don't want to. I love seeing you every day."

You hummed a little. "I suppose I am a nice doctor." You stood up and walked to your door. "Steady as you go, okay?"

"Sure thing."

Levi let out a long sigh. "Are you free?"

You picked up your list. "I have two more patients and then I'm free."

"Could I help?"

You walked with him. "Sure thing. I have one to talk about surgery tomorrow and the other had surgery this morning and I need to see if they're okay."

Levi nodded. "Sure."

He followed you to the first patient and smiled a little as you talked to the patient. You made her feel safe and told her what to expect. He thought you were so wonderful. You cared for those around you and really made your patients feel so incredibly safe.

He moved with to your next patient and saw it was an older man. Levi got you what you needed to test the man. He gritted his teeth in annoyance when the old man kept making passes at you. You were brushing it off, but he could tell you were getting a bit annoyed.

Levi approached you and looked at the file. "I can do the checks. I think you're needed."

You stared at Levi and frowned, but then it clicked he was helping you out. "Oh, yes I see her outside. Thank you." You hurried outside and leaned against the wall. You released a sigh and waited for your husband. You smiled at Levi when he joined you. "Thank you."

"Is that normal?"

You walked with him down the hall. "What part?"

He kept quiet as he walked through the halls past some colleagues and patients. He pushed open your office door and walked in with you. He closed the door and sighed. "I meant all the flirting. I tend to see it a lot when I bump into you."

You took off your coat and sighed. "Does it bother you?"

Levi took his coat off and sat. "I...well...umm..."

You walked over and sat on the sofa with Levi. "I'm sorry if it does. I'm trying my best to ignore it or deflect it, but some of them keep insisting." You leaned against Levi and hugged his arm. "It's so irritating sometimes. I get upset some days."

Levi whined a little as he felt guilty for getting tired of it. He turned a little and hugged you. "Sorry, that happens."

You released a long sigh. "It must be so annoying for you to see. I'm sorry about that." You leaned closer and kissed him. "I try and put a stop to it."

Levi kissed the top of your head. "It's not yours to fix. I'm sorry I started to get tired and annoyed with it. I saw flirting but didn't really know what it was like for you." He leaned closer and kissed you. "I love you. You're incredible and the love of my life." He tapped his forehead against yours. "I'm just a grumpy bear."

You hummed a laugh. "You're my wonderful bear. I love you dearly."

Levi hugged you tightly. "I'll try not to get annoyed at patients flirting, but you should probably report it." He played with your hair. "Some of those things being said shouldn't be said to you. Tell your patients no. You are allowed to."

You sighed. "I will." You kissed Levi. "Thank you for today."

"I'm always here for you."

Feel free to ignore if this is an annoying ask but I really need advice on something and unfortunately I live somewhere with a nonexistent Jewish community to seek advice from. My little sister (7) has been dealing with some heavy-handed antisemitism at school, kids calling her a murderer or saying she/her family kills Palestinians, telling her that "her people" need to get out of Israel, things like that. My mother has talked to the teacher and to the principal and the overall statement that's been given is like "oh well, it's normal for kids to talk about political matters since their parents probably talk about it at home, it's not a big deal, kids repeat things they don't understand all the time, they're not actually being malicious".

As a result from the way she's being treated at school though, my little sister now wants absolutely nothing to do with her heritage, literally full-on crying telling our mother that she won't celebrate Chanukah this year because she doesn't want to be evil and if she engages in Jewish practices everyone will hate her for being evil. Both me and my mom are at a complete loss on what to do and nothing we've tried so far as comforted her, do you have any recommendations on anything positive relating to Judaism that we could show/do for my sister? Because she's completely convinced that she and us are all terrorists and she's at the point where she hasn't even been to school in 2 weeks because she's terrified she'll upset everyone just by her being there. It's been really horrible and I don't have anyone IRL to ask, again feel free to ignore if I'm being annoying by dumping my problems on you! ^^

You're not annoying at all! I'll try my best to answer your question here.

Firstly, I think you need to be honest with her and tell her that even if she doesn't celebrate anything, she'll still be viewed as Jewish, so the anger and hate will still be there regardless of whether or not she celebrates her heritage or even just acknowledges it. It's a hard pill to swallow, especially when you're that young, but I think it's an age by which most Jewish kids learn this hard truth. Wouldn't it be more fun to at least celebrate chanukah then? Even if she won't celebrate it they'll still treat her badly, so better at least have some light.

Now, as for positive things, I think you can talk about the survivability of the Jewish people, how, despite persecution and hatred, we survived thanks to our recognition of who we are. We didn't let it get lost, we always remembered ourselves.

There are many Jewish figures that did important things, too. Despite their small percentage in the world (~0.2%), Jews are 22% of all recipients of the Nobel prize, across both science and humanities.

Several successful comedians and satire writers were and are Jewish, despite all the bad we've been through in the past, we still find things to laugh about, and in doing so, we make other people, not necessarily Jews, laugh and happy.

Right now it feels very dark and scary. It is indeed, it's not just an individual, personal feeling. And without our community, us jews are alone, as we'll never be truly accepted into other communities unless we forego everything that makes us us, and even then the acceptance is conditional and short-lived. Not acknowledging her heritage will distance her from the community she does have, and not get her closer to another community, so it is better to at least keep the community she has naturally.

I will also tag @hero-israel, @pothead-paisan, and any of my followers who's Jewish, to possibly give even more ideas.

Fic: Theater Etiquette (1/1)

Title: Theater Etiquette

By: TriplePirouette/3Pirouette

Disclaimer: They're not mine.

Distribution: AO3 Anyone else please ask first :)

Story Summary: Steve and Peggy are in the audience for the first preview of Rogers the Musical.

A/N: Use your imagination as to how or why they’re there. I picture them young, but you can see them as older.

Thanks to @captainjimothycarter for finding me the full length Disneyland link so I could see this without having to make my way to California. It will help if you’ve seen it, for sure. YouTube has a few versions now.

For Steggy Week 2k23 Day 5: Missing Scenes and Favorite moments

Does this count? Maybe. Rogers the Musical was my FAVORITE part of Hawkeye, so I’m saying it counts.

For the record, I really enjoyed Rogers the Musical for the campy romp it is and I;m very sad I’ll likely not get to see it in person. I fully believe Steve and Peggy would hate it with every fiber of their being.

~*~

Steve squirmed in his seat as the lights went down and the announcer started talking.

“I’ve never known you to be so restless,” Peggy muttered, slipping her clutch to her side. “It’s just one performance, then we never have to think of it again.”

“Until they ask me about it in an interview, or it turns into a success and I hear the songs everywhere…” He groaned, dropping his head. “What if they make it into a movie?”

“People deserve to know your story.” Peggy let her hand slip over his, entwining their fingers as the lights started to swirl around the audience.

“That’s why I wrote a book,” he muttered, “and let the Smithsonian keep half my stuff.”

Peggy rolled her eyes, nudging him with her shoulder. “And what were you going to do with your 70 year old general issue boxer shorts anyway, hum?”

“…the one, the only, Starkettes!”

Steve huffed under his breath. “You’re kidding me. I don’t even get my own singers?”

Peggy squeezed his hand. “You know very well neither Tony nor Howard would have let the chance to name a group of female singers by them.”

“But Tony didn’t write this.”

Peggy shrugged as the stage brightened and the curtains opened, revealing a stylized USO club. “Just… try to enjoy this, can you?”

“I can’t,” he muttered. “Not when no one gets it. If they did they wouldn’t be stylizing war like this, like some fun, happy time.”

Peggy turned her head. “You know very well this is a musical, and it’s not like life on the home front was Les Miserables, anyway.” She looked him up and down, “Now, just try to be a polite audience, can you?”

He deflated, but nodded.

They sat quietly as the opening song continued, and Steve only groaned quietly when the setting changed to the Stark Club.

“This is not factually correct,” Peggy mumbled, eyebrows pinching together as she saw the woman playing her not only be in the scene, but punch a guy in the face.

Steve squirmed in his seat next to her. “I know.”

“I hadn’t even met you yet.”

“I know, Peg.”

She leaned into his space, whispering into his ear, “How much longer is this?”

Steve just dropped his head, shaking it. “Until intermission, or the end?”

~*~

Steve huffed. “Oh, Erskine never sounded like that…”

“According to his biography, that actor was last seen in a regional production of Cabaret.” Peggy lifted her eyebrows. “His accent still needs a bit of work…” she listened to the actress playing her introduce herself, “as does hers.”

They both cringed as the lights changed and high notes were sung at the introduction of Steve and Peggy on stage.

“It wasn’t like that,” Steve muttered quickly.

“Not at all,” Peggy supplied.

“You were much more intimidating.”

“And you were much more flustered and adorable.”

He pecked her on the cheek quickly, then turned back to the stage. “So, they name the Greek chorus after him, but don’t put Stark in this at all? He was a huge part of all this…”

“They’ve also skipped the part where Erskine was murdered in favor of more… spangles, my love.” She squeezed his hand gently. “I told you, not exactly Les Miserables.”

“No, more like propaganda.”

Peggy watched as the USO show morphed into a medley onstage. Streamers fell around them as her character came back on stage to Steve’s excited rant about his performances.

Peggy leaned into him, laughing into his shoulder.

“What now?” He asked, nearly exasperated.

“You were never that confident on stage, my darling.” She looked up at him. “Or as excited about it.”

“No, not in my Dancing Monkey Days.” He shook his head. “I recall that day being much more…”

“Wet,” Peggy supplied, leaning into him. “We were both soaked and muddied up to our shins.”

“Agent Carter, when I return, do you want to go on a date with me?”

Steve sputtered in indignation as Peggy tried to hide her laughter. “Dear lord, they’re butchering this.”

“How did they- why would they-“

“Just… try to ignore it, ok?”

Steve did, he watched patiently for a few moments as his life was distilled down into comic book tableaus and silliness. Until he stiffened.

“Does anyone copy? I’ve successfully taken control of an enemy HYDRA aircraft.”

“No,” he whispered under his breath.

“Who told them?” Peggy whispered, looking at her avatar on the stage, gripping Steve’s hand tight. “We kept this to ourselves,”

“It’s an Army sanctioned show,” Steve muttered. “This is in the official records. I thought they were classified.”

“Steve? Steve?”

Peggy turned, burying her head in his shoulder. “Of all the things for them to get right…”

Thankfully, Peggy didn’t have time to fall into old memories, because Steve leaned forward as the lights lifted on the stage again.

“Oh, good lord.”

“What?” Peggy turned her head, looking back at the stage, where a caricature of Nick Fury was bouncing and singing.

“He’s not going to be happy about that.”

“Not at all.”

Peggy watched with fascination as the man bounced across the stage in a manner that was so contrary to the man she knew as Fury she couldn’t help but be intrigued.

“This has to be on purpose,” Steve whispered, entranced. He watched as Fury started introducing Avengers, “I mean, Scott wasn’t even there for that, and we didn’t know about Bucky yet, or Wakanda…” His voice drifted away.

“How can they get so much wrong,” Peggy mused, shaking her head, “but get Saturday at 8 right?”

It was entrancing, though, and they fell silent as the stage turned into a New York street filled with rubble. Peggy couldn’t help but notice Steve’s foot tapping along to the Act 1 finale.

As the lights came up, Clint turned around in front of them. “You guys are literally the worst, you know that, right?”

Steve and Peggy just eyed him.

“I had to turn my hearing aid off.” He moved his hand to his ear and flicked t back on. “Chattering away like no one was around you.” He shook his head, standing. “Just because this horrible mess is about you guys doesn’t mean you get to talk through it. Remind me never to go to the movies with you.”

Hear me out- Agent 47 and Lucas both falling for the reader who’s a newer agent that’s working with them and Diana ( let’s just say Lucas doesn’t die )- maybe a small friendly rivalry😻

anyway idk just some headcanons or a small oneshot would be fine!! I shall give you creative freedom!! I’m sorry this is late hun feel free to take your time <334

Agent 47 x Myles x Lucas Grey a.k.a. THE BEST SHIP BC I LOVE MY FRIENDS [but second pov is used so can be read as genderfluid!y/n]

[I HAVE TO BE QUICK. LOVE YOU MYLES FIRST AND FOREMOST. SECONDLY HAPPY LATE BDAAAAYYYYY. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Okayokayhowabout I write hcs since I'm outta time? ALSO HOLY SHIT THE BEGINNING DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE LMAOLMAO-]

Also ngl lowkey forgor what Lucas looked like- 💀 BUT GYATT DAYUM ur taste in men is IMMACULATE- 🤩🤩🤩🤩

For Diana to even have CONSIDERED chosing you, you must've been the best of the best. Absolutely no stains on your record.

But knowing you my dear Myles, that isn't the case, occasional screw-ups here and there nothing too serious...

...I mean minus that incident where you nearly blew up an entire building and somehow managed to get kidnapped not once- but twice-.

Buutttt this isn't a realistic route. Instead, it's the route where you're hypothetically good at what you do. Taking people out.

Whether it be literally rizzing them up like the rizz god you are, or simply assassinating them. You're extremely good at what you do.

So let's say the mission required a group of people to easily blend in. Any less than 3 and the other partygoers would get suspicious. And suspicion draws in the suspect of the big bad:

Ash Croc. I mean it's understandable really with a name like "Ass-crack" it's no wonder the man turned to a life of crime, though you did briefly wonder- why didn't he just change it????

Moving on, he took up a new hobby. Which happened to be human experimentation. Every week or two Ash Croc would hire locals a hefty amount to befriend other locals of the area and then send them an invitation to his so-called "party".

Whether or not they accepted didn't change the outcome. They either came along willingly or with some light convincing.

For some reason this invitation always finds itself wormed in groups of friends no less than 3. Which is why you- Myles-, my dear friend, were chosen.

The mission is an overall success and you end up catching the eye of not one but two expert hitmen.

Moving on.

I like to imagine they have a sort of sibling rivalry like, "I spent more time with Myles today than you did." Or "I got Myles a better birthday gift than you." Stuff like that.

Smooching contests once you're together. Arguments on who is the better kisser and such.

Diana and you naturally make bets. It's very fun. Who confesses to you first? Lucas. Who has more relationship experience? Still Lucas. Now you owe a shit ton of money to the British handler.

Strike me down if I'm wrong but 47 and Lucas definitely play games to settle on who has you for the day ESPECIALLY if it's a special event like your birthday.

I have a feeling you would be the judge to prevent any cheating or foulplay on either hitmen's side. This doesn't stop them from trying to sneakily gain the upper hand however.

As for birthday gifts they definitely try to up one another with how expensive, good quality, and lavish they are. You mention one time that you like the color green?

Boom. full wardrobe of that.

They're like that one part of the fandom where if a character mentions something once they make it out to be like it's a staple part of their life the character can't live without.

After Lucas nearly fucking dies I feel like 47 would become subconsciously a bit more overprotective of his brother.

And Lucas?

He uses that fact to gain leverage at times, "It's half past noon It's my turn to spend time with Myles." "I could've died out in that forest and never seen any of you ever again." Hesitantly 47 backs off mentally reminding himself to insert himself into the situation more carefully next time.

Honestly I don't think that's what Lucas would say but hey, it's something along those lines, probably with more comedic effect too!

All and all very wholesome up until you accidentally get hurt on a mission and they force you to retire early.

HAPPY LATE BIRTH BEACHHHH-💞💞💞💞💞💞🕺💞💞💃

#Lucas x Myles #Agent 47 x Myles #Agent 47 x My friend 💪😼#Lucas Grey x My friend

2024 fandom goals

I meant to post this around New Year's but I was consumed by the Secret Santa fic I was trying to finish (which might speak to my need for more organization lol but anyway...)

2023 was a year of fandom reawakening for me. I started it with a singular NU: Carnival fic to my name, which I had posted in late 2022 after years without making any fanworks. I ended the year with 30 NU:C fics and two original works. Not too shabby! I'm also still feeling pretty inspired and happy to be engaging with the community; fanworks and fan projects have given me a needed creative outlet as I wallow in the morass of academia.

This year I wanna...

Post at least one fanfic per month. I love those 'my year in art' things and I wanna do it with fics. For 2023 I missed January.

Finish my longfics. I'm so bad at non-oneshot content... but I look at how many subscribers Familiar Feast and Presents came early have, and I feel an intense need to deliver. I'm also really interested in what comes next for those stories. I just... eugh... shiny new things instead... but I will!

Participate in NU:C events. Particularly the lineup by NuCarni Events. I'm interested in the Blade week, the Morvay week, the mid-year exchange (god help me), the Aster week, and the Advent Calendar. I might also do the Daster week, the Dante week and maaaybe the kuyaei week, depending.

Organize NU:C events. The 2023 GaruKaru week was a great success, I should do it again. I also want to use that fanpage to put together other fandom events that are wolfboy-centric. Priority #1 is a kuyaru week...

Housekeep my fics. I should update the start and end notes so they're less about that moment in time. I should also make some changes to the Blade/Rei and the Aster/Huey in light of new canon information. Clunky as AO3 may be when it comes to this.

Write more original work. Fanfic cannot accommodate all of the depraved visions with which I am cursed... though I am very driven by comments and kudos and, as such, fanfic will always be my priority. What little engagement I get on these has been so nice, though.

Overcome all fear of cancellation. Not that I have a lot of it, but still, I did worry a lot at first. This fandom has been fantastic about adhering to Don't Like Don't Read, though. I'm emboldened to post some more horrible things under my problematic pseud and trust people to curate what they engage with.

Collab with other creatives. I've never done it before, but it sounds fun, if a little daunting. There are a couple opportunities on the horizon, we'll see!~

Pair Garu and Karu with every other character. I already managed to make it so that fics with all of those pairings exist on Ao3 (check them out in this sheet), but many of those fics were not written by me. As a funky long-term goal I want to personally have at least one fic that is specifically written for each possible wolfboy pairing... and I've already written at least one fic with each character (even Edmond!), I think I can do it.

Guess I'll look back on this in December.

Hi again absolutebl! I was reading this BL manga and I realized that I enjoy a certain seme-uke pairing: soft reliable seme + feisty uke. Do you have any recs for BLs with this dynamic? The best example I can think of is Shi De and Shu Yi in WBL.

I know I just sent an ask about two days ago but I couldn't resist asking this. Thank you as always! I hope you are always happy and healthy.

Hi again!!! Always welcome.

Soft Reliable (devoted) Seme + Feisty Uke

(Like Shi De and Shu Yi in We Best Love.)

Ooo, fun request! So explicitly NOT a tsundere or a himbo seme. But the uke could probubly be tsundere.

Seven Days (what you doubt me?) - Japan, grey

Of course it rates. Seryou & Yuzuru don’t have a very strong S/u dynamic but Seryou is (basically) the pursuer and he is soft AF. Yuzuru isn’t so much tsundere as he is obstreperous. I consider this one of the best live action yaois ever made, with perfectly structured angst, fantastic characters and acting, and no problematic tropes (rare in Japanese BL). The leads have excellent chemistry although it’s low heat there’s still some really cute mutual kisses.

Light on Me - Korea, Viki

Very much a high school setting and low heat, but this is still one of my favorite KBLs. It’s an elegant pastiche of traditional live action yaoi but all tropes are cleverly deployed to bolster one of the most riveting love triangles ever put on screen… and I don’t like love triangles! Both semes are super soft. Full review.

Make it Right - Thailand, YouTube

The original Thai version of this dynamic. Tee is unequivocally devoted to Fuse from the moment they first get together. Fuse is more chaos bi: cheating, messy and confused (as is common with the high school stuff) but I think it’s the dynamic you’re after. What more can I say about this show, the origin of the Thai BL pulps? It’s objectively terrible, and not just the leads but the side couples too, and yet I love it. I tend to call myself the “world’s foremost Make It Right apologist.” I recognize the issues but I find it utterly charming, especially Tee’s utter devotion to Fuse the disaster.

SOTUS - Thailand, YouTube

The follow up version to Make it Right, but less soft. This is the BL that launched a hundred BLs. No literally, It was SOTUS’s international success that pretty much built the Thai BL industry into the juggernaut it is today. It’s classic sunshine/tsundere, but Kong is very steadfast and soft. People have baggage around SOTUS, I have nostalgia. trigger: hazing and bullying.

Manner of Death - Thailand, WeTV

Honestly I think this one qualifies. This is TanBun’s dynamic. I like MoD a lot but I’m conflicted over it being actually BL. It’s a great gay romantic suspense, although the mystery element is its weakness. MaxTul, the Kings of chemistry, are, of course, perfect and perfectly cast, but their romance thread is more a distraction than an addition. Still, I could watch them make-out the phonebook. Trash watch here.

Nitiman - Thailand, YouTube

This show was so close to being brilliant. They fudged the ending but this is probubly one of Thailand’s most classic takes on uni set yaoi with this exact dynamic. This Thai BL pulp had sympathetic characters, a solid tsundere uke redemption arc, and a fantastic pining seme who yearned without bullying, grooming, or gaslighting. Plus when they're together, they're ridiculously soft. But it also had a realistic portrayal of university life, bisexual awakening, and friendship groups. Bummer about the ending. Full review.

Dear Doctor, I’m Coming For Your Soul - Thailand, iQIYI

This is a romance between a doctor trying to save his patients and a reaper who is both his enemy and (eventual) lover. Basically it’s the genius premise of a gay Doom at Your Service. High concept looks good on you, Thailand. It’s lovely to see KarnNat back on screen together and they are still great, and Karn is just painfully beautiful. I enjoyed it more than it’s ending deserved, and the best I can say is that it’s not strictly HEA but if you’re okay with Life: Love on the Line, you’ll be okay with this BL. It’s set up well, there’s no surprise unpleasantness like HIStory 3: The BL that shall not be named. Full review.

En of Love: Tossera - Thailand, YouTube

Basically the softest BL ever Bar is feisty, but it’s kinda token tsundere. Younger boy wants to court older boy and does and… that’s it. No really that’s the WHOLE STORY. There is actually no angst, drama, or, indeed plot. But are they the softest bois ever to BL as a main couple? Yes, they are.

Cherry Magic - Japan, indie subbed

AKA 30 Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard AKA 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii

Kurosawa is certainly soft but Adachi is maybe more chaos confused than feisty. (Another one like this is My Love Mix Up.) This is the sweetest fluffiest magical realism BL, packaged as a pinning office romance, very low heat (practically chaste) but the cutest.

Mr. Unlucky Can Only Kiss - Japan, Viki (fan subbed)

AKA Fukou-kun wa Kiss Suru Shikanai! AKA Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Kiss!

Mr Chronically Unlucky (another adorable chaos muffin) and Mr Always Lucky (solid, steadfast, crushing from the start) end up dating after they meet at uni orientation. It’s JAPAN yet they kissed in the first episode. What freaky alt-reality did I enter into? That’s all they kiss tho, over which I was a touch disappointed (I know). Still I spent far too much of my time with this show biting my knuckles and squealing “THEY’RE SO CUTE!” It is very slapstick Japanese style comedic (light) BL, so if you like that style, you’ll adore this show.

Amusing story: I paused mid the most tooth-achingly adorable first date in the entire universe and Viki was like “something missing?” and I was like “MY HEART YOU BASTARDS!”

Word of Honor - China censored, YouTube & Viki

I don’t rec Chinese stuff often, because I believe in censoring the censors, but this show is one of my favorites of the post 2016 censored bromances. It’s two murder-gay assassins (pining sunshine/tsundere), and they are so insanely gay for two boys who will never be allowed to kiss. Tropes include: wuxia, soulmates, paranormal, historical, and fantasy elements.

Maybe?

The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan, Episode 7 - Wish

Have fun wishing, ladies! Just. Uh. Try not to wish too hard.

Holy shit, is Ryoko jealous? I feel like Ryoko is mad at Kyon for seemingly reciprocating Yuki's affections.

Sure puts the window-peeping and occasional ill-timed intrusion into a different light, if Ryoko's been Homura-ing Yuki this whole time.

That doesn't sound like a training camp, Haruhi. That sounds like you wanted an excuse to go to a hot spring. And/or the producer wanted an excuse to do a hot springs episode.

I want to take a moment to appreciate what absolute gibberish the phrase "North High Literature Club/Kouyouen Academy Joint Training Camp" is. Training for what? Literature!?

You can't train literature in a hot spring, Haruhi. The pages will get wet, Haruhi.

Because if yesterday's duel taught Haruhi anything, it's that she obviously can't trust any of you dipshits with the ever-important task of journaling your experiences. So she went ahead and took care of that for you.

These are counterfeit school projects for the purpose of tricking the school into funding a hot spring vacation. We're doing fraud here, Kyon. Try to keep up.

What do you think this crime syndicate is? Some kind of book club?

Lawful Menace over here completely missing the part where we are not actually planning on doing anything academic. We're doing fraud here, Ryoko. Try to keep up.

What do you think this crime syndicate is? Some sort of book club?

Ryoko whole-ass turncoating from Team Yuki to Team Haruhi because she didn't anticipate Yuki's attempts being successful? Is that what is happening here?

Because she went from attacking Haruhi for accidentally blocking Yuki to completely freaking out about the possibility of Yuki and Kyon spending time together extremely quickly.

Yeah, I'm with Haruhi. Lawful Menace has lost all credibility when it comes to claims of her stalking being well-meaning. She is definitely straddling the fence between "I want her to be happy" and "Mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine" right now.

I know they didn't rig the seating lottery. If they'd rigged the seating lottery then Haruhi would be over with Kyon right now, rather than letting Mikuru and Tsuruya have him.

But it's hard to avoid thinking they rigged the seating lottery, especially with that smug grin on Haruhi's face.

The neurodivergent answer to being asked to make choices. I feel this every time we go out for fast food.

Oh hey! Confirmed. Yuki World did give Ryoko actual parents. They're probably in Canada, I bet.

Be funny if Haruhi absorbed the Power Spot and got her God powers back. XD

Yuki praying at a shrine. I suppose if she still has Haruhi's powers then this is probably an opportunity to trigger them. Even in her human state, Yuki seems too well-grounded and insecure to accidentally shape reality.

Unlike Haruhi, Yuki doesn't seem to have any unreasonable desires nor does she expect her desires to manifest into reality. Consequently, it's unclear whether or not she still has those powers.

But praying at a shrine might be a different context for Yuki? I dunno. Yuki is expressly putting a wish out into the universe for something she wants. That might be able to trigger the God abilities.

THIS

This is good Mikuru stuff. Is it really so hard to give Mikuru scenes like this!? All she needed was to have one friend to hang out with that isn't constantly harassing her. That's all.

Space/Time need to become best friends for life. And then Prime Space/Time need to become best friends for life. And then that's it. Mikuru can hang out with Yuki whenever the show wants her to do things and everyone else is BANNED. The entire rest of the cast's Mikuru privileges are revoked.

T_T Awwwwwwwww

That's such a great wish. This may or may not have been Yuki's opportunity to red-string Kyon, depending on if she still has The Powers. But she didn't. Because she wouldn't. Haruhi would but Yuki wouldn't.

Such a great protagonist.

Hello! Can I request a future spouse reading for Yeosang? Thank you 💕

Yeosang tarot reading

who might be his future spouse

do I have his energy permission to do and share this reading? 6 of pentacles

I think this person is so so different from me because I had so much difficulty figuring them out, I didn't feel left out or like I'm doing something I shouldn't be doing, but everytime to this person's energy, there's a sense of unfamiliarity and strangeness. I don't think I exist well in this energy, so I'm not totally satisfied with the reading, but I'm being called to sharing it ;)

personality

i think they have prominent capricorn in their birth chart.

responsible, centered, career and family focused, humble, very light energy. I think they're serious when telling a joke, the type to say a lot of deep things and know many secrets from other people, but even after talking to this person for hours, days, you may work with this person everyday and not know anything valuable about them, just that they're very good at their job and probably kind of weird. really really good at talking to people, make people feel at ease, with no judgement, knows how to manipulate a conversation (direct it, lead it, change the subject, etc). many may feel understood by them, but they are very private and probably only trusts their family and yeosang. seems to have a strong bond with family and work is part of their identity. I'm seeing purple, that might be their favorite color. they're probably in a fandom and it's big part of who they are right now. they value tradition, the elders and expect those who are younger to show respect to them. they're not very tied to material things, they could leave everything behind, live as a nomad and still be happy, as long as they get to bless others. this person is working really hard towards their dreams, it's bringing them down, they live for the future. I think they really enjoy making people's moods better, they might tell many jokes, intelligent ones. I think they really like parties, drinking, that type of fun, but they are currently very much focused elsewhere, they have big big dreams.

appearance

naturally very pale skin, but healthy looking, so they might not run from the sun, blonde and curly/wavy long hair. they may be compared to an angel or a lion oftenly (makes sense, because yeosang gets that type of compliment too). thin and tall, not many curves. I think they have a large nose, wide nostrils, like a pig (non offense, it's just the image that was in the card), they look very kind and warm, somehow they may look like a mother or a grandparent. they wear well fitted clothes, maybe tailored, but they might like capes or long coats, something that flows (might be a doctor uniform). they may wear very delicate clothes that make them look like a doll. and maybe a short neck, they're probably way smaller than yeosang. very bright eyes, blue or green.

career, fame and success

this person doesn't seem to be a celebrity, they might somehow be involved in the world of stars and they would like to be recognized by their craft but they aren't trying to be a celebrity. I think they help celebrities somehow, might be a therapist or a mentor or might just be a devoted fan of someone (not specifically ateez).

i think currently they are a student or in between jobs, they're having a real hard time, but it's temporary and situational. their biggest worry currently might be their mental health. considering most people are in vacations right now, this might be saying they're currently resting and not exploring much physically, just taking care of their emotions. they might be quite depressed, I think work is a big part of who this person is and how they feel. they seem confused about their future and what to do, not knowing how to move next, but their destiny is very bright. they would maybe be a therapist or a doctor of some kind, they seem to help those who have been incredibly hurt, a fireman, an emergency doctor, couple therapist, work at rehab, I think something like that. an ancient type of work, a miracle worker, magical hands, those that have been hurt and/or deceived, they may have to see or hear very ugly, disgusting things.

the most fame they will get is by being around yeosang, but they will get the most respect by being a good person, a good partner and helping others. they will probably announce their relationship themselves and this person is happy being unknown, just doing a good job and enjoying the fruits of their labor. I see recognition on their community, but not fame, they might say nobody needs to know their name (yeosang is gonna marry batman).

ethnicity, nationality

they do not have korean family, they seem to currently study or work there tho. i got the knight of pentacles, telling me this person would go anywhere their dreams take them.

they were likely born in a 3rd world country, might have a focus on mining, the average person needs to overwork to get things done. women seem to not have many rights and the average man likely does physical labor. I think they are from the south - south america, africa, oceania - I don't think they were raised there because of the lack of opportunities where they came from, but they seem to have a big family and trustable support system. from the way the cards look, I assume they are white, not light skinned, pure white.

what do you think is each of your favorite ship's favorite winter activity?

Oh this is so fun omg

I think that Thomas and Alastair really enjoy decorating every year. I think they've got a good eye for it and enjoy making elaborate (temporary) modifications to their home interior for Christmas season. Like, hanging up holiday-specific artwork, stringing lights along the perimeter of every room, and (of course) a gorgeous, elaborate, giant Christmas tree. I also think Thomas covers like the entire house in mistletoe sometimes so Alastair will have to kiss him no matter where they go. There's no escape from the kissing, and they both love it that way. But I also think they're really cozy and domestic and enjoy like drinking cocoa by the fire and snuggling up under blankets.

James and Cordelia are probably really hyped about shopping for gifts. I think that they go to the Christmas markets together every year throughout London and choose gifts for all their loved ones together. They enjoy strolling around hand-in-hand and looking at everything, and sometimes Cordelia will pull James into an alcove or park and kiss him to keep him warm.... also they buy each other more and more ridiculous/ostentatious gifts every year and try to outdo themselves. Vacation tickets, gorgeous jewelry, you name it.

If Christopher survived and were allowed his much-deserved happy ending with Grace, I think that they would have done a sort of Kris Kringle gift exchange with each other. Grace didn't get to do Christmas as a kid, so Kit would take it upon himself to make the perfect stocking filled with earbobs and science experiment kits and citrus fruits for her. He also would make her cookies. She'd be really touched the first year because it was a surprise, and then she'd begin repaying the favor the next year. They would both do all those things for each other, and it would be adorable.

I feel like Will and Tessa's is the low-hanging fruit, the very obvious "hosting the London Institute Christmas party" answer. This is canon. But I also like to think that they have their own little private Christmas traditions, too, like sneaking out of the party to have a little Christmas pudding picnic all on their own in front of their bedroom fireplace. I think they also go out to a nice dinner to celebrate both their engagement and the success of their party.

Sophie likes to teach Gideon how to cook her favourite recipes. Gideon probably isn't a very good cook because he grew up with servants and was pretty sheltered until he went to Madrid, so he likely can't tell salt from pepper (and is white enough to think those are the only spices.) But Sophie, who was a maid for a lot of her life, knows a lot of extremely delicious holiday recipes that Gideon hasn't even heard of. So she teaches him one new one each year and also makes him try to cook last year's recipe to pair with it. They invite Thomas, Alastair, Eugenia, and hew future spouse over every year to try all the food.
