Ellie help I have werewolf brain rot and Kirk has been living in my mind rent free the past few nights 😩 please tell me more about him, does he have a secret soft side or is being mean his love language and you know he cares about you if he's giving you a hard time? Why does he live in a dorm by himself? Where is he on the possessive scale? Honestly just tell me everything you know about him so I can simp to the best of my ability 🥺😫🙏

And actually while I'm here, anything about Elliott or Julian would also be tasty 👀👀👀 forgive me for the werewolf team fic altered my brain chemistry and I may never be the same

absolutely !! !!!!! i am at your mercy uwu <33 (this is mostly stream of consciousness so if u want more i am READY)

(cws: kirk being a sap + lore)

Kirk is very much that way--giving you a hard time is generally how he shows he cares about you. He's only truly mean to those he doesn't care about, and trust that there is a difference even when you get frustrated over his attitude in the beginning. He didn't grow up with a lot of love in his household so it's really not his area of expertise, he never really learned how to show it and only started experiencing affection when he joined the pack and made friends with all the other werewolves. Being snuggled, having his hair stroked instead of pulled, listening to his friends talk about him being handsome and smart even if he's got a shitty attitude.....it's weird to him. He doesn't hate it deep down, but he hates how it makes him feel vulnerable when he doesn't want to be.

'Vulnerable' is barely even in his vocabulary, which is why he comes at you with so much heat at first. He'd been hoping and praying that you two could boink, have a good time, and then you would pretend like it never happened so he wouldn't have to face any of those feelings he has when he looks at you. But when you don't, and when you're just so sweet, Kirk can't handle it and has to revert to what he knows: being a dick. Not nearly to the extent of how he is with other people, but just enough to keep you at arm's length in his constant fear that you're gonna end up making him feel like he isn't totally worthless. Because what would he do then? He's accepted the role of being an irredeemable, raging douchebag for pretty much all his life. He's got an attitude, his temper is awful, he doesn't consider himself that good-looking, he's got some of the worst grades out of the whole pack, he fixates on things and lets them consume all his thoughts, and he hasn't even got any palate to boot and will eat just about anything, even if it's on the verge of spoiling. He's total garbage and he's friends with a pack of people that couldn't be more perfect; Julian is incredibly charming, Portia's practically a genius, Nick is insanely handsome, Elliott is so gentle and really funny, Priam is a total sweetheart and Athos is the pinnacle of cool in his eyes. How could he even think of measuring up to all that, much less stick out among the rest and prove he's worth even a little bit of your love?

That may be the most frustrating part about Kirk--he can be the prickliest guy you know and he would die before he ever says those things out loud, but he seriously admires his friends and you yet he has little to no belief in himself. Granted, growing up he would've gotten his ass beat for showing that kind of weakness, so it's still deeply ingrained in him as an adult--especially since the pack are pretty much the first friends he's ever made on his own. And at his core, he's jealous. Jealous of them and their nice families, jealous of how well they all turned out despite going through their own struggles, jealous of how easy it is for them to be open when he's terrified of people finding out he's bi, jealous of you for being so brave and so beautiful in equal measure....so that's why the best thing he can do--in his own opinion of course--is to be your collective guard dog.

After all, Kirk isn't afraid to bite. His instincts are hard to control in his human form, could you even imagine how feral he can get when he's full wolf, or even just close to the full moon? If anything it's what he's good at; hunting, beating ass, and taking a punch. If he can't be as good as you and the others deserve, the least he can do is make sure that sweetness and the goodness of your souls isn't ever dominated by someone else. He'll spill blood, he doesn't care. He would even get suspended if it came to that, expelled, arrested, whatever it takes and he'll let the chips fall where they may. You'll know his love for you is real when he starts acting protective over you, not only when other people try to bother you but as far as your daily needs as well. Have you eaten properly? Are you thirsty? Do you need to sleep? When's the last time you stretched? He acts like it's a favour he's doing for you, like you're a little wolf that needs caring after, but in truth it settles his own self-doubts and makes him happier knowing that he's doing something for you--that he's taking care of you like a mate would, and when you smile at him or thank him for his help he just melts. He would do anything to keep hold of that smile.

.....Which is why he's got a plan in his head for after graduation. He and Nick are the oldest and thus are going to graduate first of all of you, so once that's over and done with he's got plans to start building a place for you all to properly call 'home'. It's nothing crazy--just a cabin in the woods--but if there's one thing he can confidently say he's good at it's woodworking, and he's sketched out the designs to make it everything you could ever want.

Personal rooms for you, him, and Portia who has trouble falling asleep when it's noisy. A big living room with enough sofas to fit you all. Polished oak walls like Julian grew up with and always wanted to see again. A bathtub big enough to fit Nicky's giant, muscly legs without spilling over. Tables and chairs to fit everyone and more, to fit all the family gatherings and maybe even the pups you might have one day. A garden out back where he'll plant those ugly little flowers Elliott loves. Trees and greenery around where they can run and hunt and play during the full moon, totally obscured by the rest of the world. A big fucking chandelier in the dining room to intimidate any friends you bring over that think they're hot enough shit to snatch you. It's gonna be perfect, it's gonna be the one thing he can say he's proud of in practically his whole life. It'll be a gift to all of you for putting up with his assholery for so damn long, for sticking with him even when he couldn't find a single reason why you should.

That's the kind of love Kirk shows. Words don't mean much to him--actions and acts of service are how he expresses his affections, because it's much simpler for him to put work into something he can touch and measure and paint rather than throw some flimsy words around and call it love. Plus, one of the reasons why he lives in his own dorm is because his downtime is incredibly important to him. Usually he would request a private one-bedroom apartment, but this year he was assigned roommates that he very quickly drove away with his annoying habits almost entirely on purpose. If he's not comfortable with someone, then like hell is he going to share an intimate living space with them--and after a long day he just needs time to be completely alone. He has to think, work on his projects, exercise, chew on something, and have no prying eyes around that will impede his progress in trying to figure out how the hell he can try to make himself worthy of being loved by you. A dumb, violent wolf reaching to grab the very moon from the sky.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“What… the… fuck…?” You blink once, twice, thrice at the absolute masterpiece that sits in your living room as you waddle out of your bedroom, blanket clutched tightly around yourself. It’s still a complete mess, the floor covered in newspaper and splattered paint, brushes strewn about as you hastily tried to make something work. Tried to make anything work.

Nothing worked though. Nothing and Yoongi and Joon had watched in worry as you nearly ripped your hair out in frustration. It should have been a simple abstract painting for your Painting III level class and instead it turned into a sad little blob of hatred.

They tried their best to support you, quietly giving you food or refilling your coffee when it ran out, and you appreciate it so damn much. They had even tried to give pointers, Yoongi especially insightful since he has his toes more than dipped into the art world… But this…

“So in my defense, I told big titties over here that he was adding too much pink.” You shuffle closer to the canvas, rubbing your eyes in hopes that the pink fluffy blob will turn into something else. It does not.

“You can never have enough pink! It looks good still…?” Namjoon steps closer behind you, keeping a safe distance as you finally stand directly in front of the easal. When you had left it last night, the painting was something of a sky. A very swirly messed up sky, but still a sky with clouds and something akin to the aurora borealis. Now…

“It looks like a flamingo puked on it.” It does. There’s an obscene amount of pinks and some purple swatched in, and upon closer inspection, the blob has little wings… and a face. It has a fucking face that looks strangely like UwU.

“We named it ‘Suga Puff’. He is friendly and likes cheese.” Of course he likes cheese. That would explain the little yellow dot on the side of its mouth. Turning to look back at your boyfriends, the way they immediately cringe would be apparent to anyone. To be fair, you’re not sure if you want to laugh hysterically or cry till you dry up.

“… Thank you for adding in Suga Puff. He’s very… Charming.” You all stare at each other for a solid ten seconds before you burst into laughter, unable to contain all the emotions that you’ve been harboring the past few days. They laugh with you until you start to cry, their faces turning to horror before they’re both on you, your blanket dropping to the ground.

“Oh no baby we’re so sorry it’s okay please don’t cry-“ Joon starts rambling, effectively embracing both you and Yoongi as the smaller man holds you close and kisses the side of your head. He doesn’t say a word but his silence is a comfort on its own. He knows how stressful your art courses can be, you’ve seen him lose his shit before. Sometimes it’s just better to let it all out.

“I’m sorry, I don’t know why I’m crying. It’s so cute and I think it’s adorable and your were just trying to help…” Namjoon hugs you tighter for a second before loosening his grip, allowing Yoon to pull back. He kisses your cheek while Namjoon leans in and kisses the other, both of your boyfriends finally smiling, dimpled and gummy, as you giggle quietly.

“No need to apologize sweetheart. We’ll help you whip up something new, you still have a week. Now, how about we eat breakfast, yeah?” You hum and nod, Namjoon leading you over to the couch while Yoongi wanders over to the kitchen. You honestly couldn’t ask for better boyfriends…

“Do you losers want pancakes or waffles? Or both?” You call back that you want strawberry pancakes, partially because you love them and partially because Yoongi does too. Plopping down on the couch, you lean into Joon, eyes appraising the beautiful art work your loves crafted from your mistakes. In all honesty, it actually is pretty darn cute.

“I hope you know I’ll be hanging that up in the living room for everyone to see. I’m quite proud of our collaboration.” Namjoon nods proudly to himself, a long arm wrapping around your shoulder to pull you in. You cuddle closer, quietly smiling to yourself as Yoongi yells about potentially burning the house down.

“I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Rating some of the jewelry on Oz

Ryan O'Reily: Classic golden cross, simple and sleek. The snake chain adds a certain elegance while still being a respectable thickness. 8/10

Chucky Pancamo: Gold rope chain with a boxing glove pendant and diamond inlay, later joined in season 5 by a gold medallion with a boxer or strongman depicted and switched over to a thick paperclip type chain. The pendants give charm bracelet. A little kitsch but the heavy gold never drowns him bc he's a big guy. 7/10 for the early season look. 5/10 for the later season jewelry. The chain type didn't suit the double pendants imo.

Kareem Said: Multicolored, polished wooden beads with a light green tassel pendant. (Above-left: s4, right: s6) The necklace originally looks quite well-made and taken care of. By s6, after Said breaks the string in anger, it appears that the necklace was remade on a shorter string: the beads have been forced tighter together, the once beautiful tassel is a darker color with the strings matted and tangled. 9/10 in the original state. 5/10 in the remade state. The beads are still nice.

Kenny Wangler: Dog tag even though his ass was NOT in the military (not that I would award points if he was). Kind of looks like it's not even on a beaded chain, but I can't really tell. 3/10. Know yourself.

Burr Redding: Possibly leather/rope string with long wooden beads. Wooden face/mask pendant attached by metal clasp. Don't like the size of the pendant with the length of the necklace but it matches the vibe. 6/10

Raoul Hernandez: Honestly I couldn't get a good look at what the pendant depicts. It appears to be a woman in a skirt standing over something with a ruby inlay incorporated into it in the lower left. Strung on a thick rope chain. Very pretty. Very big. I appreciated the commitment. 8/10. Special side shout out to John's crazy huge (presumably) Virgin Mary necklace on the herringbone chain. Big theatrical Catholic energy, probably the way it should be. 9/10 for John.

Chico Guerra: My guy started wearing chains near the end of s4, coming out the gate with a thin golden rope, moving on to a cuban chain for s5 and then switching to a figaro chain in s6. This really just comes down to preference of chain type bc he never has a pendant. I love rope chains because they're pretty uwu but the cuban chain feels more expected of Chico. Figaro chains look cheap to me and also don't think I didn't see him rip that thing right off his neck in the laundry room. In order: 8/10, 7/10, 5/10.

Jia Kenmin: I have ranted about this previously but this mad man is wearing a highly breakable piece of jade on a single long red string while he jumps around and stands upside down. The pendant from what I could tell in other close ups depicts a dragon, and the color of the jade is nice and pale. Should've been on a braided string or placed on gold. That string is pure arrogance. 7/10.

Jorge Vasquez: We got a rosary cross and a giant metal (maybe gold but probably not) Puerto Rico pendant on a densely beaded string. The rosary on its own is very nice—dark beads along a metal chain. The Puerto Rico necklace clashes completely with everything, but then again, this guy has every single finger and his wrists taped like he's about to start rock climbing or doing jiu jitsu or something, so who can really know what's going on in his mind? 7/10 for the rosary. 2/10 for the PR necklace. I respect repping the heritage but that thing is truly ugly.

Johnny Basil as "Mobay". Of course this dumb dumb also has a rope necklace with a puka shell on a clay bead pendant with Jamaican flag color beads. I wonder where his cover is supposed to be from... 6/10. A bit tacky looking but simplistic enough to not offend the eyes.

#oz hbo #text #ryan o'reily #chucky pancamo #kenny wangler #burr redding #chico guerra #jia kenmin #raoul hernandez #jorge vasquez #johnny basil #ldajfladjk the s4/s6 said photos..... he was really going thru it #I may have gotten some of the chains wrong. low quality video and whatnot

[la-hannya]

Been keeping away from the drama cause I'm mostly tired, want to mostly focus on the original series, and I can't wait for this fanfic to completely die truly from the death drag is doing since it's long overdue; but after reading this— it needed to be addressed. Saw some copium going on about it already.

You can say stuff like "he is a yōkai", "he was always like that", "he is too good to lower himself to the standards and morals of humans", "retcons can happen" "you see? Rumiko is supervising now", "You weren't paying attention to the story" "the translation should say this instead of this" etc etc. Sure. of course, Jan. All that shit is bs as shown in the source material a thousand times already. Ok, moving on.

but AGAIN this Sesshomaru is just not the same one. Not the same to the original anime and not the same og manga either. This is like a completely different character than what we've been shown before. Nope. Ken Narita said it best and knew it.

This one is a completely regressed version and you can die on the hill after punching me in the face "that it's the same one, it's canon" but the original one wouldn't let crap like this slide. Oh yes, I know he's not a fucking prince charming; for sure! WE ALL KNOW. But Sesshomaru had already grown enough that he gave a fuk at least about those around him. Even if he's a person who barely expresses himself. So, much so, that no matter how you view the relationship of him and Rin— you know he was still coming to see and make sure he was okay even when she was in a village that might as well be safe 💯% thanks to his brother along his wife + inugang and others. He took care of Kohaku after Kikyo died! He regretted not leaving Rin in a village earlier when she lost her life again. Here, he's whole family are accessories. You got even Shippo weirdly being his servant all of a sudden. You can measure the regression with a ruler 📐

The vibes Rumiko Takahashi is giving me at this point are: A) she doesn't give a fuk because the og story is FINISHED as she has talked before (tbh this woman didn't give a fuck starting the last half of the series cause you can look up her interviews on Rumic World/Furinkan, and she was half ass winging it by the end cause that's how much she stopped vibin with her "Magnum Opus". Thanks Sunrise) and since she doesn't give a fuk, she doesn't want to even bother looking at her own source material. This is why I've gone mostly "Death of the author" with her at this point.

B) The other thing could be as well that she's fuking this thing on purpose. "But, Gene she's supervi—" no shut up. And stop snorting the copium. You'd think if this was canon she'd be truly wanting to sell the story and this ship, but it's like she wants to make sure he along everything else is the worst possible every chapter. If she truly is supervising, cause honestly she still feels like she quickly looks over sht, goes "whatever, I'm done with this" and goes back to doing Inuyasha revamp *cough* I mean MAO. Though, it's quite understandable why she was so reluctant to allow this in the first place.

And let me tell you, the "Character becomes terrible parental unit when the next generation is born, so their past growth is thrown out the window" trope. It's OVERUSED GARBAGE that fuks up good stories 🗑️🚮 You got characters that are really similar to Sessh that are doing better in other animes for Pete's sake. LIKE "THE VILLAIN" OF YASHAHIME: KIRINMARU 🦄🤡

It's pitiful really. I dunno how anyone can still enjoy this because "uWu it gives me crumbs". Nah, have some standards. Other people can do better stories. Other people can write this better while still respecting the original story. And I'm not saying you can't enjoy some things from it, because you can (like Moroha, Kirin, the Mirsan kids, whatever). But this could've been better done. Peace.

#anti yashahime #anti sessrin #this story could've been better

[toruvi]

Idk if anyone has asked this before but okay I was looking at some jewelry to buy online today and it got me thinking: how would paychecks!levi react to the reader actually asking him to buy them something. Like the reader would sit and think for a minute like “do I really wanna ask him for this” and then just text “leviiiiiii, can you order me this necklace and bracelet” like pls I need to know for scientific reasons sksjjsjsjsjsjs

okay wow this got a lot longer than i expected it to oops dfghsdjkgh 

wc 1.7k, mostly fluff and maybe a bit of suggestive conversation?

just a little blurb in the Paychecks With a Side of Intimacy universe uwu

It feels weird to ask for something from Levi. At least, something of monetary value. He gives you so much money already that realistically you could just buy yourself if you set aside a few bucks at a time. And while you've constantly berated him for buying you things, there are moments where maybe it'd be kinda ...nice. If he did.

He's offered countless times, but honestly? It's mere instinct to brush it off and say, "I don't need that". Levi always allows a few seconds for you to change your mind before he moves on, giving a pointed stare and appearing so still he could be mistaken for a statue occasionally.

But this time? You really want something.

Hell, it's not much. Not as much as the things he's offered to buy you already, but it's certainly not a $10 kind of thing.

There's a small bracelet you found during one of your outings with Ymir. A dainty silver piece, with the option to attach the showcased mini constellations on whatever astrology sign may be desired. Hell, she noticed how long you were staring at it too, and threw out the predicted line of "Why don't you just ask your man to get it for ya?" Yeah, she's started to call him "your man" instead of what Levi really is. She justified it by telling you it's easier to say in public, but there's always a snarky tone when the words are uttered.

You ignore it. But damn it, the bracelets are just so cute! And there can even be the option to add multiple charms!

Shit. Would Levi make fun of you if you asked him to buy it? How would he react if you wanted a pair of matching ones with him? Does he even wear bracelets?

Matching bracelets... you're not even a damn couple. Dummy.

That's the thought you have to tell yourself every time you think about asking him.

But that urge builds and builds the more you talk to him, the more you hang out with him. The subject of your birthday comes up one night during a relaxed dinner, and that's when you can no longer avoid the idea completely.

"Listen, I know you get fussy about gifts," Levi prefaces after a sip of his whiskey, leaning forward with a tilt of his head as he blinks at you. "But there has to be something you'd want for your birthday."

You hum in deliberation, chewing on the straw haphazardly stuck in the cup. The condensation bleeds out into the tablecloth underneath your palms. "I--well... I guess... I guess there's something."

"Oh?" His head tilts the opposite way, curious. There's a certain light that seeps into those gray irises. It's cute, you think. He is so unintentionally comparable to a cat sometimes. "I'm all ears."

"Mm... There's um. There's this bracelet I saw the other day."

"Yeah?" Another sip of whiskey. You stir your drink with the straw between your fingers.

"It's really cute. Like, has little stars and stuff. Y'know those constellations for your star sign? You can customize it and have your sign on it."

"Send it to me. I'll buy it," Levi says smoothly. You swear he must've scooted his chair towards you just now, easy to tell with how his hands easily reach yours. "If you need a reminder, I don't give a shit about the price. Especially for your birthday."

Instinctively you play with his hands, tracing along the gently protruding veins that lead along his forearms. "It's not that expensive, actually. But it's only sold in a store. At least the one I want is. If that's okay."

"Course it is.”

And so he takes you to the place you mentioned, inspecting the bracelet closely and staring at all of the constellations available for attachment. When you'd ask about his birthday at dinner, he refused to answer at all. Let alone give any hint towards what his sign would be.

However, he does show a vague interest in the Capricorn one, picking up the charm and staring a little bit longer at it compared to the others.

Capricorn, huh? Maybe you'll ask Historia about Capricorns on your next shift. She is pretty obsessed with astrology after all.

"This is only $40. You don't want anything else along with this?" Levi asks, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. Your head shakes. “You know you can ask for much more than this.”

“It’s alright, it’s not--it doesn’t need to be a thing.”

“I’m not making it a thing,” Levi’s hand runs up and down the span of your back. You shiver. “Don’t be dramatic. Let me do something nice for you.” 

You fidget with the edge of your shirt as he takes one of the boxes for a bracelet, looking at you expectantly to pick out one of the charms. He hums in thought once he sees the charm you’ve chosen. 

“Hange would love to talk about this kind of crap. All that ‘what’s your sign’ bullshit,” he says as you two head to the register.

“Kinda surprising for someone who’s in the science field.” 

“Everything about them is surprising... They’re completely unpredictable. I don’t know how Moblit deals with it all the time. Sounds exhausting.”

"There's some fun in unpredictability too."

"Only in moderation."

When he's finished buying the bracelet, he hands the box right to you as you two exit the store and head to where he’s parked.

"You're giving it to me now?"

"Do you want me to re-wrap it and wait for your birthday?" He asks flatly.

"Well--don't you usually give the gifts on the actual birthday?"

Levi pulls his car keys from his pocket, smirking as he opens the passenger door for you. "I have other plans for your birthday."

Your eyes narrow pointedly as you stumble into the car. "Such as..?"

He shrugs before shutting the door and hopping in on the drivers side.

"I don't even get a hint, Levi?"

Levi chews on his lip in thought, his smirk melting into something more of fondness at the sound of his name. He really likes how you add it to the tail of your questions once in a while. "It's a surprise."

"You said you don't like unpredictability."

"I said in moderation. You said it could be fun, no?"

At a crossroads with the turnaround of your own words against you, your lips purse. But the curiosity of what he could possibly have planned for something eats at your brain like a parasite. Even more so at his refusal to provide any hints for it.

He merely takes his time peeling off his blazer and gently placing it in the backseat before staring at you with an expectant expression. "Are you going to put it on?"

"What, now?"

Levi nods. "Let me see how it looks on you. With your own charm on it." Alright, he's already handed you the gift anyway. Early present, you suppose. After you open the box, he's leaning over to take it out and hold it under your wrist. "Here, let me."

You murmur a thanks, nearly shuddering at the light brushes of his fingertips. Just enough to feel them, not enough to feel the satisfaction of his touch completely. His exhale through his nose huffs in the space between you two, blown away by the gentle breeze of the soothing air conditioner in the middle vents.

"Kind of a pain in the ass to clip it," he grumbles quietly after a struggle with the small clasp.

"Might need you to help me put it on every time then, huh?"

Levi looks up through his lashes and the fringe of his hair, his silver eyes shining underneath the black strands of hair. "Is that an excuse for something else?"

An excuse to get him to touch you, obviously. Guess you're as readable as ever, damn.

He finally finishes clasping it, though part of you is convinced that he might've intentionally taken longer than necessary. The gentle grasp on your wrist turns it to fully exhibit the jewelry as he inspects it. It glimmers under the sunlight shining through the tinted windshield. Levi seems satisfied.

You stare at how similarly the silver reflects his eye color. Trying to swallow the lump in your throat with how his thumb his pressing against the pulse on your wrist, and focus instead on the jingle of the charm dangling underneath. No attention needs to be paid on how the light hits the length of his nose, or how his lips somehow always look perfectly glossy right after he absentmindedly licks them.

"Looks nice."

Yeah, he does.

"Do you like it?"

It takes you a few moments to collect yourself enough to give Levi an answer. He's patient, pulling away and taking his sweet time to let the warmth of his fingertips leave your skin.

"Uh-huh. Thanks for the early present."

Levi pats your thigh, and you don't miss the subtle squeeze he gives too.

"Are you really not gonna tell me what you have planned on my actual birthday?" You try to pry again to avoid running your thoughts into other tangents over these silly little touches and glances.

"No." It's absolute in his tone. "You'll have to practice some of that patience I taught you."

You blow a raspberry. "I don't think you did a very good job at teaching me at all, honestly."

"Clearly. Maybe I should give you a couple more lessons." He chuckles, low and decorated with amusement as he shifts in his seat.

"Maybe you should." Not that you'd ever complain about these "lessons" anyway. 

The entire drive home, the habitual grip Levi has on your thigh never leaves. You wonder how aware of it he is. Or if it’s just become another one of his habits with you. There’s a small smile on his lips, too. It stays there, and you sit in silence with admiration for it, to afraid to speak and distract him from whatever seemingly peaceful thought must be running in his head.

You prop your arm on the door’s armrest, the bracelet shifting a bit downwards with the movement. Maybe you could buy him a matching one for his birthday, if he ever tells you when it is.

Warning: None uwu

English is not my native language, so I apologize for any mistake and if you can help me improve it, I will greatly appreciate it. I hope you enjoy it :D

Draco Malfoy knew you perfectly, even he felt capable of writing your autobiography if it occurred to you to do something like that tomorrow, but he had realized that he had never seen you in such a state of nerves, not even Snape's exams were capable of giving you such an anxiety attack, and he thanked Merlin you hadn't listened to Crabbe and Goyle laugh while you hobbled into your heels in the Slytherin common room because he was sure that then you would have blown the boys up with some charm or you could have hit them with the most painful hex you could think of; let's just say that, in your state, it was impossible to find the lovely, emboldened and conscientious student who had dared to ask Hermione Granger to the Yule Ball.

"Where the hell have I left the damn wand?"

You questioned again as you went back up the stairs that led to the girls' rooms, specifically the one you shared with Pansy and other students belonging to the house of snakes, bumping into some of your classmates on the way who, seeing your face slightly reddened by nerves and haste, they tried to get out of your way so as not to suffer from any curse that occurred to you. Something in you had changed since you had seen on the central clock in the room that it was two hours before the start of the much-acclaimed Christmas dance and no one was willing to have huge antlers or a pimpled face just because you were so stressed that, every time you thought you were properly dressed and that your outfit was perfect, you made a defect that made you quickly have to go back to your room to change.

That damned dress was your downfall, and no matter how hard you tried to find the main flaw, you couldn't.

"We don't need the wands. It's a dance!" Pansy exclaimed from the small central room of the common room, crossing her arms again as she saw the long train of your dress disappear that she had asked you to wear so that the green colour would highlight your figure even more, even if she was only doing it so that you would wear the tone that distinguished your house and not look like you belonged to the house of the lions because of your dress of reddish, orange and yellowish tones. "It is impossible to please her. Why is she so stubborn? She's not even going with Viktor Krum to the dance."

Your Slytherin classmates wouldn't understand you, you were sure of that, and it had been clear to you from the very moment you set foot in Hogwarts that Malfoy intended to be your friend, just as he had intended with Harry when he met him on the train. In the cabins there were very few free seats and, although the platinum-haired boy had tried to convince the one with the scar to become friends and thus be able to share space with him and have an anecdote to tell his parents, he ended up joining the seats that you were free because of Potter's refusals, then becoming your friend, even if you didn't support his extreme ideas and that you had to scold every time you heard them. You and Draco had different thoughts, you just had to see how you treated the other housemates, but that didn't mean that you couldn't get along and that you were mischievous from time to time with those ideas that the others didn't like.

"You know damn well she'd never go out with that asshole," Malfoy muttered as he shook his head gently, smoothing his shirt again and fingering some of the top buttons to make sure he'd fastened them properly. "Honestly, I'm glad you thought of Granger before that brainless jerk."

"Draco, but you didn't support Krum in the competition?" Goyle questioned, confused by his friend's sudden change of mind.

Draco's snort caused Crabbe to nudge his friend back to silence.

"I'd rather support Krum than Potter and Diggory if that's what you mean," the platinum-haired man mentioned, emphasizing his enemy's last name, "but as for going out with my friend, understand that I'd rather she go to the dance with Granger before anyone else. I prefer her even before you two."

Pansy couldn't help but smile when she saw the puzzled faces of her two companions; they were really stupid without meaning to.

It was no surprise to anyone to learn that you wanted to invite Hermione, they just had to see the way you looked at her in the Yule Ball, and it only took a raised eyebrow from Draco to blow your mind. You were both friends and, although it was true that you were not part of the golden trio, at some point they had come to you to obtain information about their adventures or to sneak them into some prohibited section of the school, even helping them to enter the Slytherin common room through some necessary instructions while Harry and Ron had used Polyjuice Potion and you were seeing to it that Hermione returned to her usual appearance. You had been very helpful, but above all, you worried that the female of the trio was completely fine and that didn't go unnoticed by anyone because they just had to remember how worried you were when the Basilisk had petrified her.

"Why would I want the wand if we're going to a dance?" You asked out loud as you headed down the stairs again, tripping on the last step you peeped at in the worst way you could. "For God's sake, what nerves."

"Who is God?" Pansy questioned, confused to hear you mention that being for the first time.

"A very important entity in the muggle world, but it doesn't matter much now," you muttered, running your hands over your face to try to think if you were forgetting something or not. "I know there's something I need to do, and I've been thinking about it on the way down, damn short-term memory."

Your murmurs and whispers confused Draco, worrying him about how anxious you were getting.

With a soft sigh, Malfoy approached you, placing his hands on your shoulders to stop the spinning you were doing while trying to remember what it was that you had forgotten, causing you to suddenly raise your head to meet the concerned blue eyes of your friend had on you. He was aware of how nervous you could be, you appreciated Granger in such a pure and special way that even he forgot at times who that Gryffindor was, but if you continued to behave in that way you would surely withdraw the proposal, and you would not have the courage to face the girl you loved so much.

"I think that's enough, okay?" The platinum spoke, caressing his shoulders gently. "You're perfect, you're lovely and Granger has chosen you for a reason, and that is that she likes you as much as she likes you, okay? So now she's waving that huge train on your dress and we're going to pick up your partner."

Your previously opaque gaze suddenly lit up, and with a flick of your fingers, you unfastened the semi-transparent train you carried with you and folded it before heading back to your room so you could tuck it away in the deepest corner of your trunk, listening to a scream from Pansy, who was horrified to see that you had decided to remove the only element of your outfit that could make the other guests see that you were from Slytherin house. The moment Draco saw you in the gorgeous dress that had previously been covered by that long train, he could understand why you were so nervous, which is that Pansy had gotten it into your head that in that elegant ruby-hued gown, green was a fantastic choice even if it wasn't.

You were blocked, you had panicked, and that's why you had been so scared.

"Wait, so she's indeed going to go with Granger's Mudblood?"

Crabbe's question to Goyle caused nothing more than the second nodding softly before both, slightly petrified, slowly looked up to meet your bright eyes that denoted anything but peace. Both Slytherins, seeing anything but feelings of peace and tranquillity reflected in your eyes, quickly apologized and fell silent.

"I'm going to go now. The sooner I pick her up, the less desire I'll have to get into bed and not attend the dance," you murmured, gently scratching your cheek before saying goodbye to each of your companions, carefully observing how the platinum-haired boy greeted you smiled with encouragement to give you emotional support.

With your heart in your mouth, and thinking that your restless feet would make you turn around to get back into the Slytherin room, you began to advance through the long corridors of the underground area of ​​the castle, full of life and colour for the first time, while you excitedly greeted some of your classmates who were waiting impatiently for their respective partners to appear, almost making you believe that Professor Snape was among all the crowd of students trying to cross the corridor to reach his office. A strange feeling of warmth had suddenly come over your body and, although you might think it was due to the large number of floating candles that were in a row to guide the students to the lower floor of the castle, you were aware that it was the emotion of seeing Hermione what made you feel so good.

Between sighs and thoughts of hasty escape, along with quick greetings and congratulations to the three champions who had been chosen by the goblet, you finally met Harry and Ron, who seemed to be muttering to themselves something you couldn't understand. You couldn't help but grimace when you saw the panic-stricken face of the former, even though you had hardly spoken to him since he had been chosen as the fourth participant to win the cup and be crowned the winner of such a dangerous game. You felt really bad about the lack of support he initially had from the whole school and how dangerous each part of the championship seemed to be; honestly, you would never have dared to put your name in the goblet let alone fight a dragon-like Potter had.

But, after all, only that kid was capable of getting into such serious trouble.

"Guys!" You exclaimed, surprising both to hear your animated voice, taking a couple of strides to reach the duo who calmly descended the stairs that led to the upper floor where the tower of their house was located. "I finally see you, I hadn't even had time to talk to you now that you're so famous."

"I wish I was known for something other than being a cheat," Harry muttered, clearing his throat, and looking back at you to smile broadly before changing the subject radically. "You look great, that dress looks great on you."

"Yes, are you sure that the hat placed you in the correct house?" Ron questioned mockingly, seeing you raise an eyebrow after looking at him fully. "Not a word of this, I'd swear it belonged to a relative of mine before it came into my hands."

"It's not that bad, it's just that it has some weird ruffles and the colour isn't exactly one I'd wear," you commented, shrugging, noticing how Ron's cheeks turned a deep reddish hue, "but you look amazing, any girl who goes with you will be lucky.

"And why haven't you invited me to the dance?" He asked with surprise and hope, thinking that maybe it was possible to cancel his date, but the sound of your laughter did nothing but discourage him.

"My dear redhead, if I had been all alone for the dance, I would have asked both of you, but I already have someone," you answered, biting your lower lip, and seeing the surprised looks of the other two boys. "Did you expect me to be without a partner?"

"Well, like Hermione," Weasley pointed out, making you frown at his statement, watching as Potter gently nudged him into silence. "What? It's true."

You couldn't help but gently shake your head as you listened to Ron because, while it was true that you had heard that he had made her cry because of that silly assumption that no one would want to go to the dance with her, you couldn't wait to see his face when he saw the wonder he had missed because of his poor ego.

"Do you think no one would want to ask Hermione to the ball?" You asked, gently tilting your head in confusion as the redhead shrugged. "We're not talking about just anyone, it's Hermione."

"Yeah, I know, that's why," Ron pointed out.

"She's not just any Gryffindor," you stated. "She is a wonderful girl, she is authentic, she is kind and sweet, the smartest person I have ever met, she never fails her friends and she has all the virtues that she can have someone. Of course, sometimes she is pedantic, and a little annoyed with her orders, but it is because she cares about others. After all, she loves them and, honestly, I don't know how you are unable to appreciate a person like her in the same way that Harry or I do."

Your declaration made a hidden heart give a great turn, and it is that Hermione, waiting in the corner that was next to the stairs to be able to surprise you, had listened to your little speech that, full of affection and good intentions, had penetrated deeply in her to the point of making her feel like a swarm of butterflies were tickling her belly, being forced to caress that area for fear that someone would find out about it even if it was something that only she felt and thought about.

With a couple of steps, she was no longer only in your sight but in the sight of all of Hogwarts.

Anyone who saw her would think that she was just another student as she had put on a little more makeup but, being Hermione, everything had suddenly changed in the atmosphere.

You swallowed hard and felt how your hands began to sweat with the appearance of Hermione because, as she descended the flight of stairs that separated you, you could see how her pink-hued dress seemed to be about to make her fly thanks to the ruffles of various shades of the same colour, making her look like the true princess that she was and the beautiful swan that hid under the school bustle, in addition to the light makeup that she had applied to herself returning to her varied freckles scattered on her face wonderful bright stars lighting up the room and making the areas that stood out on their own even more visible and amazing, all with a highlighted hairstyle that must have cost her too much to do due to the various braids that made up the decorated chignon with little bobby pins with butterfly charms that had not been able to catch all the unruly locks of the young woman and that they had allowed some to rest gently on her shoulders in little eddies.

From your perspective, you were looking at the most beautiful phoenix, the ideal potion, or the best performed Stunning Charm in the world because, hell, it looked such that there was only one word to describe it.

"My dear, you look perfect tonight," you murmured with a sigh as she stopped in front of you.

Hermione couldn't help but smile hearing you say those sweet words that caused her legs to tremble for a short second.

"You too," she whispered, in such a way that those statements were so confidential that even Harry and Ron couldn't hear you.

Granger took your hand, not caring how sweaty it was or the look of surprise on your face, and quickly ran to the Great Hall where most of the couples were already ready to receive the champions and celebrate Christmas in a big way, but not before allowing himself to look over his shoulder at his two friends who were looking in surprise in your direction while a select group of Slytherins grinned as they realized that you had managed to be with your perfect match.

Flufftober 2020: Day Seventeen

Prompt: Embarrassing Secret

Pairing: Lustberry (UL!SansxUS!Sans)

Category: Platonic

Note: There is an instance of unwelcome grabbing and some suggestive language, but nothing too serious.

----------

Lust turned heads everywhere he went. Literally. The moment he stepped into the cozy little coffee shop every single set of eyes sought him out, with some folks craning their necks dramatically just to get a view of him. Lust wondered if maybe this crowd had never seen a skeleton in leather skinny jeans, a crop top, and a neon blue fur lined vest before. Maybe they hadn't, but that didn't excuse the lip-licking and mental-undressing that followed him to the table where his companion sat.

Blue smiled at his friend, passing over an iced coffee with entirely too many toppings and a plate with a little square of gooey butter cake and a fork sitting on it. Lust’s face lit up as he dropped into the seat across from the other skeleton who knew him well enough to have his favorite order memorized and waiting for him. 

"have i told you lately how much i love our little get-togethers?" Lust cooed. Honestly, who better for a skeleton with multiverse issues to befriend than another skeleton with multiverse issues?

"TALKING TO THE PASTRY AGAIN?" Blue quipped, making his friend snort into his beverage. Not everyone got to see this saucy side of Blue, and Lust cherished it.

"don't make me snort, blue. it's so not sexy." Lust restored his diminished sexiness by licking whipped cream from the top of his drink.

"YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO A BIT MORE SNORTING THEN. THAT TABLE LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE ABOUT TO START THROWING DOLLAR BILLS."

Blue pointed to a table of giggling humans. Lust averted his eyes, hoping to discourage the increasingly crude gestures that the humans were making at him. No sense in letting them embarrass themselves for nothing. He certainly wasn’t interested, but he played it cool with a casual shrug.

"i don't mind as long as they don't get handsy. some of these humans think that just because someone is comfortable with sexuality they can help themselves."

"AT LEAST PEOPLE DON’T THINK YOU'RE AN UWU BABY WHO'S NEVER HEARD OF SEX BEFORE! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CHARM MATURE LADIES WHEN THEY THINK I'M A KID?" Blue grumbled. Lust leaned forward. Blue frequently complained about his baby face and the consequences of pairing it with his short stature, but he'd never mentioned his dating preferences before.

"mature women?"

"MILFS AND COUGARS, OBVIOUSLY." Blue sipped his coffee, completely serious. Lust barely held back another snort as Blue continued his lament. "THEY NEVER TAKE ME SERIOUSLY!"

Blue puffed out his cheeks in frustration just as a retiree shuffled past him with her senior coffee clutched close to her chest. She stopped short at the adorable sight before her squinty eyes.

"What a cutie you are," she crooned, reaching out to give one of Blue’s round cheeks a pinch.

Lust sensed impending disaster, so he grabbed Blue, dragging him towards the exit with a hand over his mouth. The last thing they needed was to get kicked out of another coffee shop for making a scene about inappropriate affection from well-meaning geriatrics. 

A human wolf-whistled at Lust as he passed, and he pointedly ignored them. The human decided it would somehow be acceptable to get attention by grabbing his pelvis instead. Lust’s heart-shaped eyelights vanished in an instant.

Lust slapped the human's hand away, loosening his grip on his friend enough for Blue to make his escape. Blue used his newfound freedom to leap onto the nearest table, knocking napkin holders and sugar packets flying right before shouting at the top of his voice:

"I FUCKED YOUR MOM AND YOUR GRANDMA!"

Well, they certainly wouldn't be having coffee here ever again…

oh, 100%, babey! ( im the short kenny, tall marj agenda )

like do you know how BADLY i want kenny to give off tall, mysterious stranger energy, like dirtiest white boy in america, slimmer than jim, smirky, leaning over the hood of cars, chain link fence, chain smoking cigarettes, trailer park pretty, putting the slender in slenderman...

BUT THERE JUST AINT NO WAY BABY!!!!

the mccormicks are eatin wheathins as bread like if you whip out a ritz cracker around kenny that is Fine Dining for him, i mean that. like he is malnourished as fuck like probably barely missed fetal alcohol syndrome he is nooooooot...tall.

like he is giving Short King. like shorter than stan which is saying something because i made pep!stan like 5'8 and 3/4 ( listen those 3/4 mean a lot to him let him have those...its all he can reach xx )

like kenny is honestly giving 5'6"-5'7"

which at first i was...hm idk...BUT ACTUALLY I LIKE THAT BETTER? because i feel tall kenny could just give Well Thats Just A Tall Medium Ugly White Boy but short kenny??? i know that man has the moves.

like charms oozes out of every pore, everyones pants hit the floor, rizz level 10000%, like he cuts his hair with rusty kitchen scissors but it some how looks like mullet modern art, the little gap between his front teeth is like where most people want to LIVE, i feel like his voice is crazy oceanic levels of deep. like that shit ~REVERBERATES~

kenny was S TIER on the cfpom fight list ( one bc he could probably seduce u out of the fight or steal whatever he needs off of you ) but mostly bc i feel like he could probably knock u out in one go but will probably jump around and watch you swing and miss and hit yourself in the face before hes finally like i'm bored, sweet dreams <3 LMAO

i feel like anytime some douchebag is like yeah whatever ur short! hes like ok ask your girl how tall i was last night ;) KHDLKSHLD AAAAA

went on a lot of weird blind dates with bible studies girls...was really unhappy and felt kind of like a freak im so sad i love you marmar

also linda stotch i guess is petite satan and makes fun of women for being tall or not uwu small and dainty and men for not being super macho and masc ( stephen is probably scary tall ) so being tall was always this uncomfortable thing for her like it made her ugly :((((((

[lady-corrine]

I actually think it is divided in half between Laena and Nettles on who is Daemon’s true love, at least in some spaces like reddit, in my opinion most people think Rhaenyra did love him more than he loved her and that Laena or Nettles were the ones he truly loved,even Mysaria,more than Rhaenyra,it seems to be the more spread take.

Hi! Yes, this is the take I've seen for years now. Laena/Nettles were his one true loves, innocent and kind and pure girls that redeemed him and made him a better man uwu. Mysaria is also a proof of his goodness, since she was a commoner. So with them Daemon is a different man, soft as a lamb and everything.

But Rhaenyra, ugh... She was fat, and got ugly and old, and she was also stupid and a whore for having a lover while married to a gay man. Obviously someone like Daemon would never love her, that mad, crazy Targaryen woman.

I wonder if they realize how embarassing they sound. But basically, these people idealize minor characters like Mysaria, Laena and Nettles because they have no clear personality and can project whatever they want on them. These three exist only in raport with Daemon and what they were to him, so readers can self-insert easily, since they can mold them to be in whatever way they want.

Rhaenyra is her own character. And worse for these people - she is strong, has a ton lot of personality, and has flaws. She is an imperfect character that expresses rage and fury and goes to war against her usurper half-brother. So for these people she must be punished: not only with the loss of children and the loss of her life in a horrible way, but ideally by being unloved and "used" by Daemon also.

Nevermind that Rhaenyra is charismatic at an extraordinary level, that she is "cherished and adored by everyone", that men are drawn to her like "moths to a flame", that she is always surrounded by her admirers and partisans. That she is a delightful woman and simply by "smiling and charming", she raised up thousands of people to fight for her, and more than 50 houses in total.

Everyone else can adore Rhaenyra, but if Daemon does it as well is unforgivable. Why do you think they all had those breakdowns when they realized how the show portrayed them? You only hear them whining and complaining about how they made them too romantic and Daemon "her malewife puppy". They hate to see Rhaenyra being loved by Daemon more than anyone.

As for the idea that she loved him more than he did her, yes, it's also very widespread. Though, honestly, I don't know where it came from? I mean, personally, if you are to read the book, Daemon always did things for her sake far more than she ever did for him. Was Rhaenyra in love with him? Absolutely. But you also hear how Daemon spent most of his time in her company, how he courted her, how "he was ever attentive of her", how he showered her with gifts, how he killed for her left and right (George even pushes the rumour that people thought he had Harwin killed because he wanted no rival for her love, so people obviously knew him to be jealous and possessive when it came to Rhaenyra).

Compared to all that, Rhaenyra did find solace with Harwin in his absence, ordered him to kill Vaemond for her, and has absolutely no moment in which she is overruled by him. Once she becomes queen she actually either shares plans with him or has moments when she refuses his ideas. None of that give me the impression that she was wrapped around his little finger for Daemon to manipulate her, because she simply wasn't. In my opinion, they loved each other just as ferociously.

All in all, I don't think people are able to love their relationship because it ends how it ends. Nevermind that those problems and rumours appeared in the last two months of their marriage, after war and loss of children, and that before that they were happy and in love. This fandom has the emotional maturity of children, who only enjoy a couple that has no problems, is always happy and lives like in a fairytale. That's why they project onto Mysaria, Laena and Nettles, but hate Rhaenyra.

This comes from a place of genuine interest, but I'm afraid it'll come off negatively, so feel free to ignore

How did you make a sona/character without slipping into cringe territory? Like seriously, vic is charming and pretty but doesn't feel like your typical self insert mary-sue, and id love to indulge in my own but worry about unintentionally falling into the cringe pit

How do you avoid it so well?

Hii! Don't worry, I can see what you mean but the way you phrased it came off as very judgmental so here comes a bit of rambling;

First, why does cringe bother you? Why does it stop you from doing what you want? Are you worried that you might dislike your own creation or are you worried that people are going to poke fun of it?

For a long time I've also felt ashamed of sharing my OCs with other people, or just some silly things I do because I was so afraid they would be called cringe, and it sucks when people (esp if they're your friends) won't support your likes or your creations and call it ''cringe'', it makes you self conscious and it makes you want to give up on that thing. That silly thing that brings you happiness. Shortly after I got in the twst fandom I remember how amazed I was that so many people would draw Yuu in their own way, be it different genders, appearences completely out of the ordinary, OCs for each dorms, and I was like ''wait, we can do that?!'' because it's been so long since I've been in a fandom enviroment where OCs and self inserts are widely accepted. I wouldn't have made an OC if I hadn't seen other people doing it too. It made me realize it was ok, that I wouldn't be judged, that I wasn't alone. And I also realized that your OC doesn't need to have a super complex writing for them to be likeable or accepted; not gonna lie, I often don't find many OCs interesting. I also dislike mary sues, and sometimes I've come across some and thought ''this character is too bland'' or ''this could use some work'' but then I realized one very important thing; Not everyone makes their content for clout - some people just want to self-indulge and make content for themselves, and that's ok!

Other content creators literally owe me nothing, and if they want their self insert to be a uwu bean baby and also the strongest magician ever and also loved by all the characters in the school, then they're on their right! I'm also on my right to not find this type of character interesting, so I just keep scrolling. I think everyone has seen at least once a OC who just don't click with their tastes, and there's nothing to do about it. Some things just aren't for everyone.

What's not okay however is being rudely vocal about how you dislike someone's creation; it doesn't matter if the OC looks like it was drawn by a 11-yo in MS paint on early 2000s deviantart, or if the writing it just bland or terrible; it still gives you no right to shit on other people's creations that they're proud of. They're not harming anyone, they just want to have fun, just like everyone else. Not everyone starts off as a great artist or writer, and if they want to get better they need to start off somewhere! You will never grow if you don't dive it in and try, even if it looks terrible at first.

Cringe culture makes so many people self conscious about self-indulging and just doing what makes them happy and honestly its so saddening………. So the solution is, fuck cringe culture. Fuck it, make your self insert, make your favorite characters fall in love with you, make catboys OCs and show them to the world! I swear, once you stop thinking ''what if it's cringe'' and just do whatever you want to do you will feel great. 80% of my content is purely self-indulgent, sometimes I feel insecure as well but most times I think ''nah this is my blog, if somebody is gonna dislike it then that's their problem'' and after starting to think more like this I realized this is the happiest and more comfortable I've been in making content for a fandom in AGES. It's so fulfilling and it brings me immense joy and comfort, even if the fandom unfortunately had become very toxic.

…That was a lot of text sorry 😅 now finally talking about my OC, I'm glad you like her! It struck me how some people say how ''unique'' she is even if she has a generic design 😂 she's got that charm that draws people to her and honestly I wasn't expecting that would happen asdkjdskjjkfsjk Now I don't think it's right for me to say how to not make a OC ''cringe'' because that would make it seem I'm belittling every other OC that doesn't have the same qualities as my OC, and that's not it - every oc is unique in their own way because their creators poured their heart on them. I can however pinpoint the ways on how I build her character uniquely, and (maybe) the reasons why people got attracted to her character; ::A disclaimer first is that none of these traits are definitive qualities in making a good character, this is just my own personal point of view::

Well the first thing I can think of is that when I make characters especially if they're self inserts is that I don't take them too seriously. I don't try too hard into making it seem it's an ACTUAL character from that fictional universe - They don't need any obscure motivation, fantastical habilities or a anime-personality trope, I just want them to be them. Just like you said, I wanted to avoid running into the mary sue archetype, and for that my character NEEDS to have flaws. I allow them to have awkward and embarrassing moments. I allow them to be expressive. Lots of people when creating an OC or a sona uses fiction as reference; fictional characters to base them on, and they're right they should use references; however when using exclusively fictional reference such as anime and cartoon, I don't think you can convey a truly relatable character. It's VERY important to take inspiration from real life too; Use your real life experiences and apply them to your character. How do you feel about a certain thing? How do you act in this certain situation? Or if you don't want to use yourself as reference, maybe use somebody you know or that you've seen - Take inspiration from your experiences and the real world. The character will come off much more natural and human, and that will naturally attract people to them; because they're truly relatable.

The other thing is cartoonish exaggeration - now this applies for my case, but I believe making your character expressive in lots of funny ways is also a certain way to make the character charismatic! For example when I draw Vic I either make her ''normal'' or make her a small squished gremlin 😂 and I didn't expect the chibi Vic to get so popular but ppl love her I guess lol so it's important to have a balance between the ''human and relatable'' side and the ''silly cartoon'' side!

---------

so this is it omfg thats a huge fucking post but I hope this enlighted you more about how you shouldn't give in to cringe culture and how I make my oc not be a mary sue, hope this helps!

+ stray kids : 5-STAR (★★★★★) | my comeback review/thoughts °˖✧

welcome! let’s get started! >:) happy skz day <33 feel free to let me know you thoughts and if you agree with stuff or have your own interpretation :D 

god i missed skz music so let’s get it

album ;

★ - favorite

:: Hall of Fame ★

OMG SUCH A GREAT INTRO TO THE ALBUM

this is such a great statement for the theme of the album as well as who stray kids are

the bass is really good and the key is wonderful

the pre hook is absolutely amazing and it gets you hyped

minho’s parts are one of my favorites tbh he has such good energy and it makes it feel like his lines are a punch to the gut

i love the whole hook!!!!!!!!!

and the sci-fi vibe sfx are really good wow

felix’s lines too tho like yes sir spit facts >:D

:: S-Class

this is an amazing title track imo!

honestly this is a great statement about who stray kids is and how far they’ve come. now hear me out.

they kind of show a little bit of everything that makes up their genre so to speak. noise music, hard bass, charming little quirky parts, not even mentioning the fun choreo and footwork that they’re known for. 

it showed that they’re here and that they aren’t changing their brand any time soon.

the whistle to start it off is so iconic honestly 

the pre hook yet again is my favorite and the ending section of the chorus with all the footwork :D

the pre hook is both gentle and hype-building

also that endless bass in the hook is so nice it’s low and tickles my ear just right

THE SWITCH UP FOR VERSE 2 BRUH that reminded me of nct’s songs being a totally diff song at certain points LOL

THE BRIDGE IS SO FUCKING PERFECT BRRRRRUUUUHHH

that deep synth during the dance break is delicious 

it really is great just wow *claps*

:: ITEM ★

so welcome to one of my favorite songs on the album

the intro is one of my favorite things ever the nostalgia of the 8bit sounds

the hook is so aggressive and i think using changbin and felix for the “item!” part is perfect

the second verse rap may be the best part tbh it’s so addicting hearing their fast raps the rhythm is so good

jisung’s rap was probs my fave hhhh no surprise

such a nice mix of happy and aggressive tbh which also has to do with the major vibe

honestly it’s so addicting like item just whoa the bridge is so nice and the hook is so good i’m very hit or miss with chanting choruses but this one does it nicely

the whispers tho are so perfect i have to mention them again *melts* especially with headphones

another chanting chorus that does it right fr fr it’s so good 

this is a certified concert song hoping for it on the next tour

i love the vibe of this song it’s so happy and uplifting

honestly it’s such a nice song to dance crazy too go figure :)))

also chris starting hook 2 makes me wanna cry woohoo love that for me

they dropped the fan chant as i was listening and i looked at them and wanted to cry awesome :))))

:: The Sound (Korean Ver.)

into existing songs now

i already liked the sound before but i tend not to like kr versions of jp songs (besides TOP) but this one is actually alright

i still have bias towards the original but i’m open

the raps are still really good tho like catJAM

i still miss “this is THE SOUND! it’s THE SOUND!”

:: Mixtape: Time Out

i actually like how they ended with the mixtape it feels like an end to the album and a hug for STAY lol

like “congrats you got through the emotional damage this album gave you :))))) /j

no really i like this being the end to the album smth we’re familiar with and a very like... idk conclusive song to end it with

like going out with a happy bang!

god i really fucking love stray kids man <3

mv/performance ;

honestly i’m not always for big flashy mvs but i know that’s kind the era of kpop mvs rn but skz never really bothers me with their mvs even if there’s a lot going on LOL (like the soldiers, the octo monster, the horse, the fire, just for examples) oh and i won with all the chris shots LOL anyways

i really like the choreo it’s really playful and like they said it’s like a “playful annoying” HAHA it really comes off as these annoying kids having fun without a care. my favorite part of the choreo is the hook and the start of verse 2 i love the switch up so much it’s not even funny. 

also the part where minho and chris get to be center with the footwork that’s such a nice moment!

i loved all the scenes on the boat fr fr that’s so cool! i also loved the camera work yet again their mvs always have such nice camerawork and editing <3333333 i love how they yet again did everything that tends to “bother” people. adding a lot of things to their videos and making them wild just like making their music noisy HAHA 

i also really liked the minchanjeong shot for the bridge it’s so good. that and seungmin’s shot at the end of the bridge too! hyun showing up in the fire for hook 2 was also so nice! ugh i could talk about the whole mv tbh LOL

final thoughts ;

wow overall this comeback is hard-hitting and there’s so much to take in!! there’s literally way too much to deal with you can’t process it all on one listen or watch. you need like ten LOL i’m in love with this cb tbh after listening to the album and the songs and seeing the mv like 4-5 times (this will go up later lol) i’m really happy and pleased with this cb!! overall it’s quite literally 5 stars HAHA <3333 thanks for reading if you made it this far *bows* i’m out to vibe to the album and watch the fan chant (we got 4 parts of chris in s-class can i get an amen)

002 Camilla!

Always happy to write for the prettiest purple princess!

Surprising no one, though, this is post is a little long. Maybe not as long as some of the other ones I’ve done, though!

How I feel about this character:

I don’t care what anyone says, I love Camilla. I don’t deny that there are problems with her character re:sexism, but I think at the very least, she is still afforded the capacity to be interesting in personality in other ways.

I think one of the things I like most about Camilla is how she’s sweet, but also… kind of not. She’s pretty disturbed, and rather than that just being an “uWu yandere girlfriend” kind of thing, it stems from trauma that makes her much more complex. Is she motherly and warm? Sure, but that’s to a point. On the flip side, she is possessive, selfish, and violent. If you get in her way, she’s incredibly condescending at best and straight up murderous at worst. Even when she’s terrified or horribly upset, she always keeps even a small air of confidence about her, not willing to show her opposition even an ounce of fear. She’ll kill you for separating her from her loved ones and kill you for leaving her just the same, and she doesn’t really care about what happens to Nohr as its princess — just the people she knows and loves. All Camilla wants is to have a happy life of her own, and after what she’s been through she certainly deserves it, but she definitely… has a very destructive mindset.

Yet underneath all of this, you do see also a very natural side of her. Not in the mothering, and beyond the violence as well… You definitely see a lot of someone who has a lot more going for her. She’s clearly exhausted by a lot of what she’s been through, but she still gets up every day ready to do what she can. In spite of her emotional struggles she tries to find confidence in herself, be thoughtful, and find causes for joy and laughter. She’s not a perfect woman by any means, but you can still see that there is a part of her that is trying to be someone better. I sincerely hope that in a future for her character, she’d be living a quite life surrounded by love, security, and a role that truly makes her happy.

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

You know, for a lot of characters, I’m usually pretty flexible on what I ship… So long as the environment is positive, I’ll have a few lined up, but with an obvious favourite. This time around, I honestly don’t have much for Camilla. In my first Conquest playthrough, I went for her and Keaton because I heard that she made for a cute mom for Velouria. And in Revelation, I married her to Takumi because I couldn’t pair her off with the one person I wanted to…

And that brings me to the one person I do ship romantically with this character: Hinoka. Believe it or not, I didn’t used to be crazy about them, because it’s an enemies to lovers and I am very, very picky about enemies to lovers — to me, they must inherently be a slowburn for it to work. But for whatever reason, over time I just ended up warming up to these two. I can’t say exactly how or why, but it’s just something that happened.

Camilla is clearly interested in Hinoka despite knowing that they’re supposed to be opposed, and Hinoka ends up being really flustered by her because she’s not at all accustomed to the attention. And while there is a little charm in that to me, I think what I like most when I think about them as a couple is the period where they’re beyond that little flirting thing and are just really, truly comfortable with each other. Hinoka comes from a family of people who, while they love each other, aren’t so good at communicating emotions or affection. I feel like Camilla would really help her fill in those gaps, both in giving her love and teaching her how to express it more openly. And on the other end, I feel like Hinoka would be a really stable figure for Camilla. She wouldn’t make promises she couldn’t keep that would trigger Camilla’s abandonment issues, but she’d be always present and willing to communicate. She would never leave Camilla guessing about whether she’s loved or not, and would be there to help take care of her, just as Camilla would for her.

Plus, you know they’d be adamant about looking after each other’s siblings too, which is an important facet of the relationship for both girls.

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

SIIIIIIIIIIIIBLIIIIIIIIIIIIINGS. Seriously. Love her with her siblings. Especially her and Xander, I feel like that’s a really under-explored dynamic, even in the game itself. Their support is mostly about her misunderstanding the kind of person Xander is, so I’d love to see that relationship develop a bit beyond what we get to see and really become something solid. And, being the oldest of the family, I want to see how they came to trust each other after being involved in the Concubine Wars. I think there’s a lot of interesting potential there.

Otherwise… there’s a few, honestly. Obviously, the Hoshido sibs and Azura (she counts under siblings to me, just in case that needed clarifying), that’s a core part of the game. Her friendships with Selena and Beruka are also quite important and deserve attention… I guess if there’s one that I definitely wouldn’t highlight off the top of my head, but love the idea of, it’s Camilla befriending the Ice Tribe twins.

Flora in particular sticks out to me, especially having seen that fanmade support of the game, because I think it could be a really good case of the two of them overcoming first impressions. I can see Camilla thinking of Flora as someone incredibly rigid, cold, and uncaring. She probably wouldn’t like how much she keeps a lot of people at an arm’s distance, and would find her overly proper. Conversely, Flora would hate Camilla, thinking of her as an exemplary Nohrian, violent and selfish and cruel. She can play affectionate as much as she wants, but Flora knows what she’s really like… Yet even with all that, I can see the two of them actually coming to like each other a bit more. Maybe it starts with a compliment on Camilla’s part, about how well she cares for Corrin and even for Felicia — or about how she displays good leadership skills. Then maybe Flora compliments Camilla on something every once in awhile, and then they start to notice each other a bit more. Camilla asks Flora about her knitting, and Flora about Camilla’s embroidery, and then the ball just kind of rolls from there. I really like the idea that they could someday be friends, when life is simpler on both sides.

As for Felicia, well, honestly I just think both girls have such loving natures that they’d match up well. Camilla would love Felicia’s loyalty, her cuteness, and her openness with her emotions. If something was wrong, Felicia wouldn’t hide it, she’d just tell her and want to work on a solution together. As for Felicia, she’d love how openly Camilla gives compliments, feel pretty safe in her presence, and I could honestly see her being happy to share her hobbies with Camilla. You just KNOW Felicia would be filling her in on all of the Ice Tribe fashions.

My unpopular opinion about this character:

I think I might actually prefer her voice as Paula Tiso over Misty Lee in the English dub. And before I get anywhere with that, I just want to say that I in no way, shape, or form dislike Misty Lee’s performance. Quite frankly, she does amazing, and I know she’s what more people pictured when they thought of Camilla’s voice.

For whatever reason, though, I feel like Paula Tiso just works for me. I know the accusation was that she sounds “like a grandma”, but I didn’t really find that to be true to me. What I like about her performance is that she does equal parts loving and motherly, and quite frankly just a little patronizing. Considering Camilla’s attitude in Birthright, Ms. Tiso being able to really harness that condescending tone and make it work is pretty important to the character. Yes, Camilla is warm and motherly, but she’s also possessive and selfish. If you threaten her in any way, she’ll look down on you and treat you like you’re nothing, because you’re something to be eliminated when you threaten those she loves.

And sure, I would accept the argument that you don’t see this quite the same with Misty Lee’s portrayal because there was so much less of that in Warriors and Heroes, but I maintain that it’s something I quite like about Paula Tiso’s interpretation.

One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon:

That she would get a different outfit…

I think this says something about me, but I would have loved to see Camilla just… go unhinged. She’s a powerful force in her own right, and I’d love to see her just tear through those who are opposing her. The longer this series goes on, the more I’ve felt the need to see a FE woman who just goes completely feral, and I think Camilla deserves to be allowed to do that. Like I know they have the more tropey protectiveness with Camilla and Corrin involved in the anthology comics and what not, but I’d really love to see Camilla just… get some rage for herself, or someone who also hasn’t been able to express their rage.

Like can you imagine if Anankos had used her mother as a puppet? Better yet — put her in front of Leo and Elise’s moms, too. I’d have loved to see her just tear into those nasty women with everything she has, reminding her of every single way they failed their children, and how they deserve nothing more than to rot in the ground like the soulless corpses they are. “Even his control is too good for you,” kind of thing. Just let her really sink her teeth in and be pissed about what they went through. Let her be angry for herself and for her siblings, and help her have this moment of self-forgiveness where she knows that she is worth more than everything she has been put through in her life.

Getting to see anything like that? That would have been just *chef’s kiss*.

My OTP:

Because I only have the one Camilla ship I, uh… pretty much already rambled about it lol.

But maybe I can talk about what my ideal future is for them instead, just so I can add something! I’d say my ideal future for them is probably living in a warm little house situated between Hoshido and Nohr. Camilla has forfeited her title and decided to take up work as a seamstress. Hinoka, on the other hand, has kept hers but works more hands-on “in the field” with the people, so she can communicate to Xander and Ryoma where certain needs still need to be met. The couple visits their siblings fairly regularly — if their siblings don’t come running them, that is — and they are always sure to bring along their band of adopted children. I’ll admit that I’m not sure how many I think they’d have. Camilla would probably want, like, a billion… but Hinoka probably only wants anywhere from one to six, just because that’s what she was raised with. Nonetheless, I can see them taking in children from both countries and making the happiest little family. I can just imagine the dinner Camilla makes every night while Hinoka plays with their kids, telling stories about her time as a pegasus knight. It’s just too darn cute.

My crossover ship:

You know, in retrospect, I’m realizing how funny it is that I chose this particular ask game, because I don’t think I really have any crossover ships. I don’t mind a little overlap between things, but I’ve never been a big crossovers person. I even tend to keep my Fire Emblem games pretty rigidly separate. Every once in awhile, maybe it’s cute to think about how someone would interact with one another, but I usually tend to keep things pretty separate.

So I don’t know if I actually have a Camilla ship that goes across any other games! Lol.

A headcanon fact:

Like most noblewomen in Nohr, Camilla learned to play an instrument. Unlike Elise, who played the violin, she opted for the flute. It was a challenge to play, but she loved the sound. When she was little, she used to play for Garon, and he would delight in listening to her songs. She has several memories of playing for him, and him prancing around like a big goofball to the point where she struggled to keep playing without bursting into a fit of giggles.

Actually you know what I WILL criticize you on the hottest dating sim character.

Shuu Iwamine is objectively more attractive than Yuuya, and here is a neat bulleted list of why I think so:

He evil. Everyone likes someone evil and a little bit irreparably damaged.

Long hair,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, tied up in a cute little bow

Those EYES. We've all seen the "Unique!! White blue-eyed boy!" but I've seen people drool over those deep purple eyes

Tired all the time. Relatable

Constantly drawn covered in blood. People go crazy over that

He berates the player but occasionally gives them validation, which is enough to make most people coming back for more (as ill-advised as that may be)

Oh I love a good debate!!!! :D

• I actually think that irreparably damaged but still NOT evil is the hottest variety of character! It's easy to be traumatized and evil, but it takes some real SUBSTANCE to be more than that. Yuuya has some real dimension to him! He's incredibly selfless! He murdered a baby. He's incredibly loyal! He mutilated one of his best friends' body and covered up her murder. He's such a truly good person! How many students died while he was on the job? But Shuu is just plain evil. Sure there is dimension to him, but I don't find it COMPELLING. I can't get into Shuu's head and see myself making the same decisions he did. I can't justify or rationalize any of the things he did. That's a lot less hot to me than someone like Hitori or Yuuya who come in all these lovely shades of gray. Their bad deeds are so UNDERSTANDABLE, so genuine. They're more understandable, more sympathetic, and so it's easy to feel closer to them. I can't imagine feeling close to Shuu. The things he does are too evil, and don't make as much sense. When Yuuya does something awful it makes SENSE. It feels like an almost inevitable tragedy, there's no other way it could have gone, there was no right answer and he took the best way out he knew how. THAT'S SOME HOT TRAGEDY RIGHT THERE, REAL SHAKESPEAREAN SHIT!! THE GOOD STUFF!! When Shuu commits atrocities it's like. Ah, it's Tuesday. He just does it because it's What He Does. He's evil, and a terrible decision maker, and that's why he does what he does. And honestly, as much as I love the shades of gray, and the appeal of villainous characters is undeniable, I'm a real sucker for the good guys. I've never been one to fall into the tumblr sexyman trend of loving the villains. I love heroes and anti-heros! Good people in bad situations, just doing their best in a world without any right answers. Nothing makes me UwU💕 more than that.

• okay you got me there. Shuu's hair is fantastic. I love it. And his bow is amazing you're so right. ALTHOUGH credit where credit is due, Yuuya's little hair clips! They're so cute.

• Okay but HAVE YOU SEEN YUUYA'S SMILE??? It's so charming!!!!!! You can just FEEL the warmth in it. It's playful, it's easygoing, it's charming, it's mysterious. And as we all know!!! Mystery IS the most powerful of aphrodisiacs after all! Shuu has those purple eyes, but his smile says serial killer, and it's not lying. Yuuya's smile strikes my heart still! Also, Shuu's purple colour scheme is physically part of him, he didn't make that cool style decision himself. But Yuuya having all orange matching accessories?? That's so cute!! He planned that, made a conscious decision to colour code himself in orange. It makes me think that maybe it's his favourite colour. Shuu was handed the purple aesthetic life, but Yuuya chose and intentionally curated an orange aesthetic for himself, and I think that's wonderful.

• Okay but have you considered that Yuuya is also frequently covered in blood, and it's almost always his own blood? Being drenched in your own blood is SO much better than being drenched in somebody else's. It's more sanitary, and it gives poor little meow meow points. Yuuya covered in his own blood is infinitely hotter than Shuu covered in anonymous blood from somewhere unknown. What can you do with a Shuu covered in blood? Where do you GO from there? But a Yuuya covered in blood, that's the start of a hurt/comfort fanfic in the making! You can like, take him home and patch him up. There's places to go with that, there's a plotline in the making. Ergo, Yuuya's blood is hotter than Shuu's.

• I am immune to this effect on account of not being into degradation. Also, if Shuu's subtle praise is worth coming back for, what about Yuuya's flirtations? They're genuine compliments AND kind of a funny joke at the same time. That's the best of both worlds. You can joke with him about it, AND feel good about all the nice things he said about you. They're fun and cute, and some of the nice things he says are pretty genuinely sweet.

Some further points,

•With Yuuya you can get into these action packed near death experiences. Nothing more attractive than that, a "You and me against the world" partnership in a world that wants you dead. That's the best kind of bonding experience there is, and so logically, doing super spy stuff with Yuuya makes for an objectively fantastic date. Bonding through danger! A partnership where you trust eachother with your lives, literally! You can't get that kind of thing with Shuu, because Shuu IS the danger.

•ALSO Yuuya would Treat Me Right, and I know this with absolute confidence. Shuu is limited in his potential hotness by the fact that you can never really get close to him without getting murdered. But Yuuya? Yuuya cares. Yuuya would literally die for you. Yuuya is loyal, and kind, and just a damn good guy all around. He cares so much! He's such a good friend. Just look at the way he interacts with Sakuya. Or better, how he interacts with Ryouta, who he has no real connection with or obligation to, but still treats with so much kindness even though Ryouta is so hard on him. You gotta appreciate how much Would Treat Me Right energy Yuuya brings to the table

• I have terminal I Can Fix Him disease, and Yuuya's abysmally low self esteem makes me foam at the mouth. Every time something horrible happens to him I go absolutely feral, and bad things happen to Yuuya a lot. The more a character suffers the hotter they are. This is an objective fact.

Another thirst from me uwu

Reader is Mikey’s personal assistant/bonten secretary and also assassin, but a different kind. Reader and Mikey have deep feelings for each other but kind of tip toe around it, so it creates romantic and sexual tension 👀

—————-

Sanzu kills with brute force, but reader is Mikey’s secret weapon. With her feminine charm, reader has seduced some of Mikey’s most slippery rivals. She entices them with her looks and soft aura before shooting them dead. But no man is to touch her.

Though reader and Mikey both pine for each other deep down, the profession comes first. But as they inch closer romantically, some concessions have been made. Mikey will handle readers missions down to the last detail himself. Sanzu is kind of miffed reader gets special attention but he knows why. The others suspect something but would rather live to see another day than ask.

Mikey’s most favorite part about readers assignments? Dressing the reader up himself. He orders reader to take a bath first as he starts to move around her room.

Once reader is out of the shower, he lays out lingerie sets on the bed. All different colors, patterns and material. Reader-chan will put on her lingerie set right in front him, of giving Mikey a little private show for his eyes only. He enjoys it so so much. No money in the world compares to watching his jewel put on pretty underwear for him.

Afterwards, Mikey helps reader into her dress. Lingering touches everywhere. Reader has a really beautiful perfume on her, and Mikey inhales it. Soft touches that leave readers skin tingling. She allows herself a moment of vulnerability and blushes like a maiden in love when Mikey puts her heels on her feet for her. Bontens mighty king kneeling, all to make her pretty for him. She is not dressed for her targets.

————-

“Do you have any questions about this, YN?” Mikey’s hands rest on readers hips.

“No, sir.”

“What is the golden rule?” Mikey kisses readers neck very softly.

“No man but you is allowed to touch me, sir.”

“Correct, princess. Now go out there and leave Bonten’s mark.”

Reader leaves, but she still feels the ghost of that kiss on her neck. She doesn’t know Mikey is watching her leave, his heart pining hard for her as well. He’ll give her a hell of a reward when she gets back. 😩😩

Mikey’s last order echoes in her mind: “when you get back, you come to my bed.”

I’m so down bad it’s ridiculous. Also soft romantic tension…HNMGH I’m sorry I’m just so 🥺❤️

HNNGH

Hey hey hey~

Ohhhhhh bonten!Mikey+assassin!reader!! Greyyyy this is so good wtffff That's such a good combo, what a power couple 😫😫

I feel you, sometimes the pinning is just so fucking good—the build-up to when they finally get together, after all the lingering gazes and touches, after all the back and forth and all the teasing remarks hhhhhhnh, it's just chef's kiss

Anddd plsss here Mikey is such a teasing bastard, both to himself and reader! You know you want her, dude, you don't need to play coy!! Thankfully he finally made the move by the end, I honestly don't think his possessive ass would have held on for much longer, not after seeing reader all dolled up without him being able to really do anything night after night.

I bet reader wouldn't be able to walk away from his bed the day after, not for a long while, not after he finally got his hands on her. The king who bows to no one finally does bend the knee, but only to worship his queen like she deserves, leaving no inch of skin untouched.

And I really do understand you about being down bad 😔 I still have a bonten Mikey au in my head that won't leave me alone.....I'll write it......one day...... hopefully lol

[ttuesday]

Hi there! It's not tuesday, but nevertheless is a good day to wish you the best in life, op! uwu

The trope enemies-to-lovers if one of my faves. This is an idea I saw on tiktok.

Character: *trying to be a smug little shit to tease reader* Oh, you wanna fuck me sooo bad it makes you look stupid.

Reader: *matching their asshole energy to not give them the satisfaction* If I wanted to fuck you I would've done it by now.

Can I please have some HC on the VLD boys reactions after being told this by their enemy they are so obviously crushing on?

Arthur

Arthur was tipsy. He had a few drinks before bumping into you so he was feeling more confident than usual. He puffs out his chest as he says it, feeling uncharacteristically smug.

But my god, the second you snapped back that quick witted response, all that smugness disappeared in an instance. It was kinda like a metaphorical slap in the face that Arthur needed to stop trying to be a smug bastard.

"Right..." he said clearing his throat, suddenly feeling very awkward "well then I guess I'll be on my way". Honestly, he feels a little embarrassed that he said it and regrets it considering he now believes you have zero interest in him. But if you asked, then Arthur would be more than happy to buy you a drink to make up for it.

Dutch

Dutch had thought about this many, many times. This whole back and forth thing you both have going on, constantly insulting each other and trying to one up the other. Oh yeah, Dutch sees all of that as some good ol' foreplay.

It was during a heated fight between the two of you when he finally decides to say it. He was so confident it was going to turn you in a blushing, flustered mess. He couldn't stop smirking after he says it.

But his face drops when you say your response. He wants you a lot more now but he knows that nothing is going to happen now. "Touche" he replies, squinting his eyes slightly. He knows you’ll fall for his charms some day but until then he’ll keep muttering curse words whenever he sees you.

Micah

Micah loves how good you are with comebacks. You don't take any bullshit and you're incredibly badass, and luckily for you both of these things are big turn on’s for him. When Micah said this, his plan was to see how you’d react to the idea of y'all fucking.

And your response? Damn, is it getting hot in here? After hearing your response now he's just horny. If anything, your reply has reinforced his attraction to you.

"How's about you give me the chance to change your mind, hm?" he smirks. Micah would love the chance to tell you 'I told you so' especially when it comes to the possibility of you wanting him too.

John

John was having a bad day so he wasn't in the best of moods when he ran into you. Normally he tries to be somewhat civil around you but today he didn't care anymore. When he said it, John tried to say it in the most teasing tone he could muster.

John expected you to come back with a quick witted response. If he was going to be honest with himself, your sharp replies is one of the many triats he finds so hot about you.

Surprisingly John smiles when you say your response and shakes his head slightly. "Sure, whatever you say" you can tell he doesn't believe you but you can't tell if he's saying it to get under your skin or because he genuinely thinks you're lying.

Javier

Javier had just messed up a robbery when he saw you. He was pissed off and once he spotted you, he was just waiting for you to make some snarky comment and so he decided he'd make a remark before you could. Javier knew he was being kinda petty but he didn’t care.

Though he'd never admit it to you, he was actually impressed with your response. If he overheard you saying that to someone else he probably would've laughed and thought it was really funny but since you were saying this to him, Javier didn't see the funny side of it.

Javier does love some angsty back and forth so he doesn't back down. Lowering his voice and gazing directly into your eyes, he says "We both know that's a lie, I've seen how you look at me".

Bill

Bill was drinking his sorrows away at the local saloon when you walked in and made his day a whole lot worse. You annoy Bill so goddamn much. Sometimes he'll even go on rants by the campfire late at night about how much you irk him but this has only led to the others teasing him about you.

He hates how the others could pick up that he has a crush on you and that's another reason why you annoy him. Bill just blurts it out, not fully thinking through the sentence before he says it out loud.

Bill creases his brow once you retort back your answer. "Well you... I, uh..." Bill's brain goes blank when he tries to think of something else to say. "Shit" he mutters, chugging the rest of his drink.

Sean

Sean was actually very proud of his quick witted comment. In his head, Sean was thinking 'oh yeah, this'll get 'em all flustered'. Christ, he was so goddamn cocky saying this.

He also really hoped you'd admit to being madly in love with him if he said this and then you'd both start ripping each other's clothes off and make some sweet sweet love... Sean has thought about this a lot.

But when you reply, Sean’s in shock and honestly he was trying his best not to pout. "What's that supposed to mean? You really don't find me attractive?" he's gobsmacked "Are you sure? Maybe it's the lighting in here”.

#and before y’all start coming at me for not doing Charles #Charles ain’t in this cause I genuinely cannot even imagine him saying this #but by all means if you can come up with some headcanons of Charles in this situation #write away bb cause I’d love to see them headcanons #I just personally couldn’t come up with any for him and this trope #but I do have some Charles headcanons nearly done and 2 fics #so I do in fact have more Charles content *coming* hehe #headcanons #arthur morgan #dutch van der linde #micah bell #john marston #bill williamson #javier escuella #sean macguire #rdr2
