UPDATE UPDATE EDIT #97462: I finally sat down and made a comprehensive full teef chart referencing every single available card (as of dec 2022), the live2d models and the SD Chibis!! I also threw in some side characters such as the staff too because I was curious. Currently, I don't have them screenshotted, but I will probably make a follow up post with the new info!! I'll link it here whenever,, that happens.
---
So,, I made this chart bc I was curious lol
idk what you'd use this for but it was cute to compare everyone also I made it in about 3 seconds so there's probably spelling errors or smth but yeah
Don't take this as gospel, there's plenty of discrepancies which I acknowledge below lol
Oh yeah and for clarity, double fangs means they have fangs on both the bottom AND top of their mouth; singular means they only have their fangs on the top!!
Also, please note I only referenced card illustrations! I ignored sprites and chibis, so results may vary depending on what you're looking at-
(Someone mentioned how Ortho has both shark and normal teeth, I believe he only has normal teeth in some of his sprites, but all of his illustrations feature shark teeth so that's why he's placed where he is ^^
Edit: Ortho's lab wear card (before groovy) actually has normal teeth! Didn't notice that until checking just now- I might go back and edit the Ace category to be 'shapeshifting' and add ortho to the list haha)
Edit 845: Just updating this to let people know that it may become outdated with new cards being added... Who knows maybe Yana will change some people up or reveal more teeth variations haha. I know some single fanged people are not up there and should be in the Ace section, but just reminding that this only references card illust. And I've found out that other characters such a kalim and Vil may be more better suited to the Ace category. Thanks for understanding!!
And who knows, maybe I'll make one referencing sprites and chibis too sometime!
Don't repost this please I beg
also please don't comment anything weird on this post, this post was just made for fun lol
Edit: glad everyone is enjoying this post!!! Just as an fyi, I also have a height chart here for anyone who's interested <3

vii. wise men say, only fools rush in
Pairing: Mob Boss!Price x F!Reader Word Count: 7.5k Warnings: alcohol, heavy flirting, violence, blood, minor character death Disclaimer: I do not own modern warfare or any of the modern warfare characters. A/N: this chapter is dedicated to the wonderful @chaoskrakenuwu, who was kind enough to let me name a character after her, and also to tumblr user @deadbranch, who mentioned that tags in taglists might not work if you have your visibility settings set to make their url unsearchable on tumblr!! i tested it out a few times and sometimes it works, sometimes not but if your tag isn't working below maybe double-check your visibility settings and turn them off (if you're comfortable with that) and I'll try updating your tag!! small edit: tumblr cut off part of the middle, so i re-added it in case you saw it when it first posted and it didn't make sense LOL prev | next
In the following weeks, you learn one very important thing: John Price is a relentless flirt.
(After that first conversation, he had disappeared into his office for the remainder of the day not reappearing until you had returned to the club to get ready backstage. You took your time, heart racing as your attention was split between preparing for the show and trying not to imagine Price joining you backstage and making good on his offer to wish you luck.
He never did, but once you took your place on stage, you immediately spotted him sitting at the bar between Ghost and Nik, eyes trained solely on you. He stayed in that spot for the entire show, his gaze never once leaving you, even when others came up to speak to him. He bought you a congratulatory drink afterward, handed to you with a sly smile and gentle squeeze of your hip.)
He hadn’t stayed long after that, whisked away by something important Ghost whispered into his ear, but you find him in that same spot every night after that, watching your performance with a singular intensity that sets your skin on fire.
Farah takes over the two weeks leading up to her and Alex’s departure, giving you a welcomed break and letting you enjoy the club and her flawless performances.
Price maintains his spot at the bar, making eyes at you anytime you pass by as you spend your time between dancing with Kyle and watching Valeria hustle unsuspecting patrons at the pool table. When you occasionally stop at the bar, you make it a point to stand next to him as you wait for your drinks.
Regardless of what he’s doing—whether he’s drinking with his eyes glued to you or talking to someone else, his attention focused entirely away from you—a warm hand always winds its way around your waist, slowly feeling up the fabric of whatever outfit Valeria’s put you in for the night before it settles on your hip. You lean into the touch, lightly skimming your nails across the back of Price’s hand as you wait for your drinks.
Alex serves you with a knowing look—one you make a show of ignoring—and you squeeze Price’s hand. He presses your hip in response, the slow glide of his hand as he pulls back his arm, leaving a blazing trail across your skin that lingers as you take your drinks and return to Kyle or Valeria.
“You know,” Valeria says one night, sharp gaze following you as you return from the bar with a drink for her and lemon water for yourself, “you still owe me a game.”
“Can’t say it’ll be much of a game,” you laugh, sitting beside her. “I’m shit at poker.”
“I wasn’t talking about poker,” Valeria grins, eyes sliding to her right where the pool tables sit.
“Alright, but fair warning, I’m about as good at pool as I am poker.” Valeria pays you no mind, taking her drink and sauntering toward the tables, crimson dress flowing with every step.
The table she approaches is occupied, surrounded by a small group that isn’t so much playing as they are holding cue sticks and talking. Valeria joins them, easing into their conversation with a coy smile and light touch to the nearest man’s arm. You don’t hear the conversation, but Valeria tilts her head and says something, and one of the group hands her his pool cue before leading the rest of his friends to the dancefloor.
“That was nice of them,” you laugh, joining her at the table. She hums a small laugh, handing you your own cue stick.
Valeria starts the game, and it ends almost as quickly as it begins, a look of absolute disbelief plastered on her face.
“I told you I was bad at this,” you tease her.
“I never thought I’d meet a worse player than Alejandro.” Valeria shakes her head, unable to compose herself for the first time since you’ve met her. You’d take some pride in being able to surprise her if it weren’t followed by the pitying gaze of disappointment she turns to you with.
It’s a quick, momentary glance before that tell-tale smirk crawls across her face. She lays her cue on the table, sights set on something behind you. “We’ll fix this, don’t worry.”
Valeria pats you on the arm, disappearing into the crowd of people before you can stop her. You let it go, setting your cue next to hers and taking the time to sip from your water and turn your attention to the stage where Farah gives another flawless performance.
“Enjoying yourself, Птичка?” You turn, finding Nik leaning against the other side of the pool table, dressed in solid black with his sunglasses pushed up into his hair.
“Very much so, actually.”
Nik laughs, tipping his drink to you with an easy smile as Valeria reappears beside him. You don’t get the chance to react as a hand slides across your waist, your body tensing at the sudden touch.
“Glad to hear it.” You relax as the baritone of Price’s voice reaches your ears, and you turn to land a playful slap against his chest.
“Let’s try this again—,” Valeria says, picking up both pool cues and holding one out to you and the other to Price, “—two against two.”
You’re reluctant to take the cue stick from her, but you do, sending Price a sympathetic smile, “Apologies in advance.”
“C’mon now, you can’t be that bad,” he chuckles. Valeria lets out a bark of a laugh as Price takes the other stick from her. She turns away swiftly, trying to bite down on the smirk stretching across her face as Nik re-racks the balls.
Valeria is gracious enough to convince Nik to let you go first, and you do your best on the break. Your best is…not great, laughable even.
And laugh Valeria does. Nik lets out a low whistle, turning away the moment you look at him, his shoulders shaking with unmistakable laughter. You turn to Price, your last saving grace, only to find him staring back with a pitying look that you think you hate more than the laughter.
“Yeah, yeah, get your laughs in,” you pout, setting your cue stick against the table and crossing your arms over your chest.
“Aw, don’t be like that,” Valeria coos, lips pursed tauntingly.
“You weren’t…awful,” Nik adds, though it’s choked out through stifled laughs.
“It’s the way you’re holding it,” Price laughs, making his way toward you. “Here, I’ll show you.”
You expect him to take over your turn, but he holds his cue stick out to you instead. You pout for an extra second before giving an exaggerated sigh and taking the stick from him. He catches your wrist before you can pull away and lightly pulls you toward him, guiding you to stand in front of him.
If you couldn’t play before, you don’t know how anyone expects you to concentrate when the solid warmth of Price’s body presses up against your back, his chin resting on your shoulder so you can feel the soft fanning of his breath against your neck. Gently, he adjusts your elbows, guiding you to hold the cue stick properly. When he’s satisfied, his hands glide down from your elbows, one settling on your hip and the other against your back. He takes his time, feeling the velvet material of the sapphire blue dress Valeria put you in. He hums appreciatively, the vibrations skating down your spine.
“Lean forward,” he murmurs into your ear, the club’s music drowned out by his voice. A small press to your back, and you bend forward, trying not to lose your grip on the cue stick as he purrs, “A little more.”
When he’s satisfied, his hand leaves your back to settle on your shoulder. He turns you slightly to the left, adjusting your angle before he steps back with a soft, “Now try.”
Keeping yourself composed is a struggle, but you do as he says. The cue ball sails, a successful break scattering the rest across the table. The group around you cheers as you stand up straight and instantly reach for your water. You sip the icy water, trying to cool the fire crawling beneath your skin as Valeria takes her turn, but Price stands at your side, leaning down so close you can feel his lips brush against the shell of your ear.
“Good girl.”
You swallow hard, nearly choking on your water as he pulls away with a wide smirk, and you realize that he’s here to play an entirely different game.
After five rounds, your team loses 3-2, but Price leads you to the bar for a consolation drink with an arm around your waist, and you feel like the biggest winner in the club.
-
Kyle’s birthday comes mid-summer.
He doesn’t tell you about it, but you get a suspicious text from Soap one night inviting you to a “secret meeting” at the club and telling you to bring cash.
It’s the middle of the night, far too late for you to be safely leaving your motel room, but you get ready anyway.
Curiosity killed the cat, not the canary, after all.
When you get to the club, you text Soap, and he tells you to come through the front, lock the door behind you, and head straight backstage. You follow his instructions, finding backstage empty and vacant save for the soft echo of voices from the dressing room. You follow the voices, knocking twice before opening the door.
As soon as the door opens, the room goes silent. You’ve apparently interrupted a very serious meeting between Soap, Ghost, Roach, and König as their attention snaps to you. The room fills with a tense silence as you stand in the doorway, a stack of cash in hand as they stare you down.
You speak first, eyes bouncing between the four nervously, “You’re not about to kill me, are you?”
That seems to break the tension as Ghost scoffs and the others relax.
“’Course not, Owl,” Soap rolls his eyes, reaching over to take the money from your hand and add it to a small pile sitting on Farah’s vanity. “Assumin’ the worst there, aren’t ya?”
“You send me a cryptic text telling me to meet you in the backrooms with a stack of cash and expect me not to be suspicious? This is how people get killed in horror movies,” you argue, shutting the door behind you.
“You still came, didn’t you?” Ghost counters.
“He has a point,” König shrugs, and Roach nods.
“Why am I here?” you ask flatly, crossing your arms over your chest.
“Right, so you know how Gaz’s birthday is comin’ up?” Soap speaks as he counts through the small pile of money.
You blink, asking, “It is?”
He hadn’t said anything to you. Would it be rude to ask him about it?
“Every year, we always try to get him something, y’know, from all of us,” Roach explains.
“But every year, Valeria and Alejandro always get him something extra just from them,” Soap huffs. “So, we started doin’ the same.”
“It’s become a bit of a competition now,” Ghost sighs, obviously not as enthused about this as Roach and Soap.
“Of course,” you hum. A little more relaxed now that you know why you’re here, you lean back against the door and ask, “So, what’re you getting him?”
“Oh,” König starts, “we were thinking of—”
Roach smacks his arm as Soap lets out a sharp whistle, shaking his head furiously when König turns to him.
“Really?” you scoff. “I gave you my money—”
“And we greatly appreciate your donation,” Soap says, turning to you with a sly grin and your cash in his hand. “As will Gaz, I’m sure.”
“What am I supposed to get him, then?”
“You’re a smart girl,” Soap teases, “’m sure you can figure that out on your own.”
“You’re not even gonna give me a hint?” You look to the others, but Ghost and Roach stay silent, König giving you an apologetic shrug. “Fine. Just know I’m not showing up next time you need something from me in the middle of the night.”
“Yeah, y’will,” Soap laughs.
He’s right, but he doesn’t need to know that right now.
“Whatever, keep your little secrets. I’m going home.”
“Night, Kiwi!” Soap calls as you leave the dressing room. You let the door swing closed behind you, but the thud of it shutting never happens. You turn back, finding König closing the door softly before he catches up to you.
“I’ll walk you out,” he says softly, glancing back to the dressing room. There’s something slightly off as König trails behind you, constantly looking over his shoulder—not like he’s nervous, but as if he’s about to do something he shouldn’t.
He holds the front door open for you, giving one last look over his shoulder.
You have to ask.
“Are you oka—”
König leans down, almost uncomfortably close, and mumbles, “He likes practical things.”
“What?”
“Mostly clothes, preferably socks. Oh, and food. Especially pastries.” König takes a small step forward, getting close enough that you can see tiny flecks of amber brown in his eyes.
“He has a big sweet tooth,” he whispers conspiratorially, and it clicks in your head.
“Oh,” you say as König steps back, leaning against the door. “Thank you.”
“Viel Glück.” König gives you a short nod, the edges of his mask rising with the apples of his cheeks as he smiles at you.
The drive back to your motel room is spent formulating a plan to figure out the specific day Kyle’s birthday falls on and what to get him. You spend more of the night trying to think than sleeping, doing your best to devise a way to ask him about it without sounding too obvious. It should be easy—getting information out of someone is nothing you haven’t done before—but Kyle’s sharper than he lets on. You’ll have to be a bit more careful this time.
You’re still thinking about it when you get to the club the next morning, so focused on your plan that you nearly run into Ghost as he steps out of Price’s office.
“Watch it,” he grumbles, wrapping a hand around your arm to steady you.
“Sorry,” you mumble.
“Bit distracted this morning, are we?” You look up as Kyle walks out of the office behind Ghost, amused smile on his face.
“Didn’t get a lot of sleep,” you shrug, sending a quick, pointed look to Ghost, who stares back at you with his usual monotone expression.
“Been there,” Kyle chuckles, pulling his car keys from the pocket of his black jacket and handing them to Ghost.
“Going somewhere?” you ask.
“Doing something for the Boss,” Kyle winks.
“It’s a small business errand, nothing to worry about.” Ghost’s answer leaves no room for more questions, so you nod in acceptance.
“I’ll see you two later, then.” You watch them walk to the front and out of the club, waiting for the doors to click shut before you turn and slip inside the office. Price sits behind his desk, writing something in a small, black journal, and you grin at the sight.
Maybe you don’t have to talk to Kyle at all.
“Can I ask you a question?” you ask as you walk up to the desk. Price’s hand stills against the journal as he looks up at you in slight surprise. You’re sure you’re probably not supposed to be in here without being invited in, but you see how his eyes dip down over your form and decide that he probably doesn’t mind.
“Just the one?” he smiles, setting his pen down to give you his full, undivided attention.
“Just the one, I promise,” you laugh, sitting in one of the chairs in front of the desk. “When’s Kyle’s birthday?”
The smile stays, but his brows draw together curiously, eyes narrowing slightly.
“Right, and which team are you asking this for?”
Ah, so he knows.
“Neither. I just wanted to get him something nice…and maybe get back at Soap for conning me out of my money.”
Price laughs at that, shaking his head as he leans back in his chair. It creaks softly, and you’re momentarily lost in the thought of how comfortable it looks.
It definitely looks like it could hold two people—
Stop.
Focus.
Kyle’s birthday.
“It’s next Thursday,” he says, breaking you out of your momentary distraction. “The club will be closed that night while we celebrate.”
That gives you eight days. You can work with that. All you have to do now is figure out what to get him.
And you’re sitting across from the one person who would know best.
“Do you have any hints for what I could get him?” you ask, giving your sweetest smile that he definitely sees straight through.
“That’s more than one question,” he chuckles.
“I mean, they both go together. Think of it as two halves to the same question.” You bat your lashes, keeping that tauntingly sweet smile aimed at him.
“So, you get an extra question,” he says, leaning forward and clasping his hands together atop the desk. He tilts his head, staring into your eyes, and purrs, “What do I get in return?”
“The satisfaction of helping out your favorite employee?” you tease, setting your elbows on the desk to lean toward him.
“You’re my favorite, are you?” he laughs softly, inching just a bit closer.
“You just said so yourself,” you grin. He hums, amused and impressed, a fondness in his eyes that sends a slight pang through your chest.
“He likes desserts,” Price tells you.
“Anything specific?” you press, slowly leaning forward until only a few inches are left between you.
“Careful now,” he warns, all silk and want and looking two seconds from jumping over the desk. “That’s a third question.”
You sit there for just a second, letting him watch your eyes fall to his lips as you lean a little closer before—
“You’re right,” you sigh dramatically, pulling back entirely, smug grin across your face. “I’m sure I can figure it out myself.”
“You’re a cruel woman,” he laughs, settling back in his chair with his arms crossed over his chest. You throw him a wink that earns you a playful roll of his eyes. Your phone chimes from your pocket, and when you check it, you find a message from Farah asking you to meet her backstage.
“Time for me to head out,” you sigh, standing from your chair. You turn to look at Price, giving him an earnest smile, “Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.”
“Anytime, Dove.”
You head toward the door as Price picks up his pen, ready to return to what he’d been working on before you came in.
“If you can bake,” Price calls out just as you grab the door handle, “try an apple sponge. It’s one of his favorites.”
You turn back to thank him, but he’s already focused on his work. You stash the information away in your mind, heading into the club to meet Farah with a wide grin.
(It takes a lot of trial and error in your motel room’s dingy little kitchen—little more than a hot plate and a mini fridge—but you’re eventually successful with a small apple sponge pudding the night before Kyle’s birthday.
When you present it to him, waiting until the party’s died down and everyone else is focused on something else, his eyes go glassy at the first taste. For a moment, you’re worried you’ve messed up the recipe, but he sets the plate down and wraps you in a tight hug.
“Used to make this with my mum,” he laughs into your shoulder, watery and sad and so, so appreciative. “Haven’t had one in years.”
He pulls away after a soft squeeze, his signature bright smile a little tighter than usual.
“Thank you, really.”
He goes back to the dessert, offering a couple of bites to his date, the woman who had worn the purple and teal dresses and whose name you’ve learned is Tabby.
You glance up from the happy couple, eyes roving over the rest of the party until you catch eyes with Price. He grins, winking at you, before returning to his conversation with Nik and Alex.
You don’t know how you’ll thank him, but you have a few ideas.)
-
“Are you busy tomorrow night?”
You nearly jump out of your skin as Price startles you, not only with his question but also with his sudden appearance at your side.
The club is closed for the week—you’re not told why—but you still come in to clean in the mornings. You’d been enjoying your small break at the bar, scrolling through your phone absentmindedly.
You thought you were alone, but apparently not.
“Not that I know of,” you say, trying to calm the jittering of your nerves. “Why?”
“Would you like to have dinner?”
Your mind blanks.
Your heart skips a beat, stunned at the idea that he might actually be asking you out and even more stunned by the instant yes that sits on the tip of your tongue.
“I—”
“We’re having a small get-together for whoever wants to come.”
There’s a painful squeeze in your chest that you’re forced to ignore, and you do your best to cover the sting with a smile.
“Sure! Sounds fun.”
“Perfect.” He smiles back wide, leaning forward to press a kiss to the top of your head before turning and walking away. “I’ll have Gaz send you the address,” he calls over his shoulder before disappearing into his office.
You stand there, staring at his office doors, doing everything you can to quell the sudden heat flooding your body.
You add extra ice to your water and bury yourself in your work as a poor distraction.
Kyle texts you the address that night, along with a message telling you not to come into work the next day, and a single sentence after that reads: Wear something blue :).
You sleep in the next morning—the first time in years—taking your time to go through your clothes and get ready. Your wardrobe is limited—all of the outfits Valeria’s had made for you sitting in the dressing room at the club.
Those would probably be too formal anyways.
You decide on your usual jeans and boots, but dig out a lighter shirt—more grey than blue, but passable—to wear under your black sweater. It’ll have to work as you spend the rest of your time fixing your hair, relaxing, and singing along to the music on your phone.
You leave an hour early, still unfamiliar with the city streets outside your commute to and from the club. The directions are simple enough to follow, your phone’s GPS taking you through the city easily, but after almost twenty minutes, you take a turn and realize you’re being led out of the city.
The drive is almost peaceful, the bustle of the city melting away into broad open landscape then into large trees filled with lush greenery. You’re directed to an off-road leading deeper into the thicket, your car protesting as it leaves the pavement and starts down the dirt road.
It takes half an hour of driving through solid forest before the trees around you begin to thin, and the dirt road slowly turns to gravel, then to smooth stone. The road curves and winds through the trees before you take a sharp turn, and you catch sight of the house.
No, house isn’t the right word. Manor would be more accurate.
The car comes to a halt as you hit the brakes, hands tightening around your steering wheel until your nails dig into the heels of your palms.
A sprawling estate surrounded by lush greenery that grows up the front of the house, you’re reminded of your family’s old summer home. That house hadn’t been nearly as big as this, but Price’s manor carries the same quaint feeling you remember having every time your father took you on vacation at the summer home.
The knot that grows in your throat is sudden, the rush of nostalgia slamming into you without warning.
The last time you had been to that old house was for your wedding.
You still remember the smell of lilacs and sweet peas that drifted up from the beautifully decorated courtyard into the bridal suite, the gorgeous bespoke gown that had once been your mother’s—gifted to you by your father as your something borrowed—and the beaming smile you carried for the entire day.
The last good day you remember having in your old life.
That’s over now, you remind yourself. You’re safe here.
You take a deep breath, loosening your grip on the steering wheel and easing off the brake. You drive slowly, taking in the beautifully laid out gardens around the front of the manor, trying to push down the painful fondness that stabs at your heart.
You park behind the various cars at the end of the driveway, locking your car behind you just once before making your way to the front doors.
Just like the club, they’re unlocked.
As soon as you walk in, you’re hit with a delicious smell and the sounds of quiet laughter. You follow the noise, taking in the interior of the house. It’s homey, understated, downright cozy, and somehow fitting for what you’d imagine as Price’s home.
“Look who it is!” Alex cheers as you walk into a sitting room. He sits on one of the couches, an arm draped across the back and around Farah. Across from them is Kyle, spread out on the other couch, busy typing away on his phone, his feet almost in Nik’s lap. You’ve never seen them so dressed down before, all in some type of hoodie, sweater, sweats combination—or pajama pants in Nik’s case.
Farah and Nik give you the same eager greeting, but Kyle continues on his phone, ignoring your presence entirely.
“Don’t mind him,” Farah scoffs. “He’s too busy with his new girlfriend.”
“It’s no problem,” you laugh, looking around the room. Farah watches you, smirk plastered on her face.
“The old man’s in the kitchen,” she says, nodding toward the other side of the room. Alex and Nik bite back their laughs, and you choose to ignore them.
“Thanks, Farah.” She nods, and you head in the direction she gives you. You head in the direction she gives you, passing through the dining room before you’re able to find the kitchen.
It’s not exactly like the one from your old summer home, but it’s damn close—spacious yet comfortable, all earth-toned and welcoming—and it’s a fight to swallow down the knot in your throat.
“You’re here!”
You’re pulled out of your thoughts as Price catches sight of you, setting down the knife in his hand and making his way over to you. You’ve never seen him in a sweater before, but you know how you’d kill to see him in one again. Like the others, he’s dressed down from his usual club attire: a deep maroon sweater with rolled sleeves, jeans, and a black apron with small spots of flour across it.
“Yeah, didn’t want to miss out on seeing my boss in an apron,” you joke as he pulls you into a hug, followed by a kiss on the head. You let yourself melt into him, missing his warmth the minute he pulls away.
“You can have a drink and wait with the others if you want. Grab whatever you want from the fridge,” he says, heading back to his station.
“Actually,” you take a deep breath, setting your hands on the island counter, “I was wondering if there was anything I could help with?”
He seems surprised at the offer, brows raised as he looks up at you. But the surprise is quickly replaced with a fond smile.
“You any good at chopping vegetables?” he asks.
“The best,” you tease, inching your way over to him, giving him time to tell you no.
“You can take over here, then.”
He takes a step back, and you take his place, picking the knife up from the cutting board. You’re about to start when you feel his hands settle on your hips and his lips brushing against the skin of your neck. You tilt your head automatically, pressing back into him as he murmurs a quiet, “Thank you.” He pulls away immediately after, leaving you to your work.
Time flies by, the two of you work almost seamlessly together in the kitchen. You laugh and joke and enjoy as Price takes every opportunity to put his hands on you. Small, teasing touches, but they send your heart racing each and every time, and soon you find yourself returning the favor.
By the time the food’s ready, you’ve shed your sweater, the kitchen heat, and the man next to you far too much for you. You take it in stride, having more fun than you’ve had in a long time and allowing yourself to enjoy this moment.
Dinner passes by equally as fun, feeling like those rare dinners you got to have with your father—just you and him, just family.
The others bid their goodbye, Alex and Farah heading home after dishes are done, Nik heading upstairs to one of the many spare rooms, and Kyle leaving to meet Tabby at her place. You help clean, waiting until everything is spotless to take your leave. Price walks you to the door, hand on the small of your back the entire walk.
“You know,” he says as you reach the front door, “you could stay here for the night.”
“What? You mean you don’t want to come back to mine?” you tease, lightly nudging him with your elbow. When he doesn’t laugh, you still worry creeping up your spine.
Please, don’t ask me to “repay” you for dinner.
Please, don’t ask me to “repay” you for dinner.
Please, don’t ask me to “repay” you for dinner.
“There’s plenty of room here,” he says quietly, pulling his hand from your back so he can turn to face you. “I just—I’d sleep better knowing you were somewhere…safer.”
Oh. Oh.
You don’t know how you can possibly feel more endeared than you do in this moment, the worry so genuine on his face.
“It’s not that bad. I’ve been fine so far,” you offer, voice soft as you set a hand on his arm. “You don’t need to worry about me.”
He huffs a quiet laugh, wrapping his hand around yours, “There’s always room for you here if you ever change your mind.”
“Thank you.”
And even if you don’t take up the offer now, you mean it with all your heart.
-
Summer nears its end when you find a sleek red box sitting atop your vanity that was definitely not there before you went on stage.
A small white card with your name written on the front rests on top of the box, a handwritten note with an address and a date for Saturday afternoon. You don’t recognize the address or the handwriting, so you set the card aside cautiously, sliding your fingers under the box lid.
You lift the lid, curiosity winning out over your caution.
Laying inside, pristinely folded, is a dress. A very beautiful, pale dress covered in pale blue columbine flowers. You run your fingers along the fabric, admiring the softness of the organza against your skin.
What is this for?
You wrack your brain trying to think of any upcoming birthdays or events, but nothing comes to mind. You’re sure you’d know; things like that are usually a big deal for the club.
You’re left wondering as someone knocks on the dressing room door. You quickly put the lid back on the box, tucking the card into the pocket of your jacket draped over the back of your chair.
When you leave for the night, you take the box back to the motel room, setting it on top of the duffle bag that holds your clothes, where it sits untouched for the rest of the week.
When Saturday comes, you wake up an hour before your alarm and head straight for the box. You set it on the bed and spend the morning getting ready with a long, room-temperature shower.
A small voice nags in the back of your mind as you stand in your underwear, staring down at the box on your bed. You’re excited and nervous, eager to try on the dress but unsure of what to expect from all of this.
The last time someone surprised you with a dress…
You shake the thoughts from your head, pulling the lid from the box, lifting the dress out, and finding a pair of nude flats lying at the bottom.
It’s long and light, made of a soft, airy material that falls to the ground with short, sheer puffy sleeves and a slit up to the knee. You have no trouble putting it on, the smooth silk gliding against your skin in a fit so perfect that you immediately think this must be Valeria’s doing.
You twirl, watching the material fan out with a wide smile. You leave the shoes in the box while you fix your hair, putting in the effort to get your hair just right and make yourself look as good as the dress makes you feel.
When you’re done, and looking far more stunning than you anticipated, you slip on the shoes and grab your keys.
You head out to your car in the early afternoon, pulling up the address on your phone. Your destination is just outside the city, opposite from where you are. It doesn’t take long, even in the afternoon traffic, and it ends with you pulling up to a large house with a driveway full of familiar cars.
You park behind Kyle’s car, giving yourself one last look in your slightly crooked rearview mirror.
When you step out of your car, you’re instantly met with music and laughter echoing from the backyard. You follow the path up to the front door, knocking twice as you admire the front garden.
The house is far enough out of the city to not be near anyone else but close enough to not have to drive an hour to get to the club like Price’s. Large, spacious, and a yard covered in different types of flowers.
A sharp whistle startles you as you take in how well taken care of the daisies look.
“Canary!” You step back from the door, looking across the driveway where Kyle stands, waving his hands at you, Roach next to him, holding open a gate that you assume leads to the backyard.
It’s weird to see them out of their standard black, but the bright summer colors fit them just as well. You make your way over, Kyle meeting you halfway to pull you into a hug.
“Glad you made it!”
“Me too!” you laugh, following him to the gate so you can hug Roach. “What’s the occasion?”
“Occasion?” Roach asks, holding the gate open with his foot so he can sign to you.
“It’s just a party,” Kyle says with a curious tilt of his head. “Valeria didn’t tell you?”
“Why would she tell me?”
“Because it’s her house?” Roach blinks.
“No one told me anything. I found a card with a time and place sitting on my vanity. And this—” you gesture to the dress, “—with it.”
“That’s one way to invite you, I guess,” Kyle shrugs, throwing an arm around your shoulders with an easy smile. “Either way, we’re glad you’re here.”
He and Roach lead you into the backyard, equally beautiful as the front, with tall trees providing shade and a large pool in the center. The entire club is here. Alejandro and Alex stand near the grill, laughing and passing jokes while the rest of the club is gathered at the few tables set up in the shade near the back doors to the house.
Valeria spots you instantly, making her way over with a wide grin. Kyle slides his arm from your shoulders as she gets close, and she pulls you into a quick hug.
“You made it!” she cheers, taking a step back and giving you an appreciative once over. “And you look fantastic! I’m proud of you.”
“It wasn’t all me,” you say, a little shy under the praise. “Thank you for the dress, by the way.”
“Hm?” Valeria raises a brow. “Well, it is lovely, and the blue’s a nice touch, but it’s not one of mine.”
“What?”
If it wasn’t her, then…who?
You look around the yard, glancing over the rest of your friends and coworkers. They all seem busy talking, laughing, enjoying themselves.
All except for one, John Price, who’s sitting between Ghost and König, wearing a pale blue shirt to match the color of the flowers on your dress and staring at you with an intensity that sets your skin alight.
“Oh,” Valeria laughs, following your gaze.
“Explains the blue,” Kyle snickers, nudging your arm with his elbow.
You pull your eyes away from Price to smack Kyle in the chest. You’re met with laughter from the three of them, covering your face with your hands in a poor attempt to cool the heat in your cheeks.
“I hate all of you,” you grumble, their laughter growing as you head for the tables. You do your best to smile and not appear as flustered as you are, returning hellos and hugs as everyone notices you. When you reach the back table, Ghost nods in greeting while König stands to hug you. However, when he pulls away from you, he pulls out the chair he’d been sitting in and gestures for you to sit.
“You don’t have to—”
“I have to help Alex soon, anyway,” König shrugs.
“Okay, then,” you smile, taking the seat, turning to add a quick thank you before he leaves for the grill.
“You look lovely,” Price says the moment you turn back to the table. “Blue suits you.”
Ghost doesn’t speak, simply picking up his glass and sitting next to Soap at the table across from yours.
“Like this color, do you?” you ask, setting your elbows on the table to lace your fingers together and set your chin atop them, smiling at him with a raised brow.
“You could say I’m partial to it,” he shrugs casually, eyes trailing down the expanse of your leg exposed through the slit of your dress. “Especially on certain people.”
You can’t help but giggle, shaking your head as you lean back in your chair.
You take a moment to feel the warmth from the sun, cooled by the gentle summer breeze carrying a soft bite of autumn’s inevitable chill.
You don’t remember the last time you could simply enjoy a day outside.
“Thank you, by the way,” you speak up, turning to Price with a soft smile. “You didn’t have to get me a dress, but I appreciate it.”
“Not a fan of gifts?” he asks, an unusual hesitance in his voice.
“I like them. I’m just…not used to them, I guess.”
Or ones that don’t come with ulterior motives, anyway.
He stares at you for a brief second before his hand slides across the table to settle over yours with a light squeeze. “Think you better get used to it then, love. There’s plenty more where that came from.”
You huff a quiet laugh, shaking your head at the smug grin on Price’s face.
“I’m not going to be able to talk you out of that, am I?”
“Not at all,” he laughs, and you laugh along, turning your hand over to lace your fingers through his.
You give a soft squeeze of his hand, soaking up the warmth from his hand, “Price, I—”
“Sparrow, get over here! We’re starting karaoke!” You turn as Soap yells from his table.
“In a minute!” you call back.
“Fine, but I’m pickin’ your song!”
Price chuckles next to you, releasing your hand. Disappointment swells in your chest before his hand reaches your bare knee. “Go have fun. We can talk later,” he smiles.
You nod, and he lets his hand linger a second longer before pulling away as you stand up. You adjust your dress before glancing over to Price. As soon as the idea comes to your head, you act. Setting a hand on his shoulder, you lean down to press a kiss to his cheek before whispering into his ear your promise of later.
You step away quickly, making your way over to the rest of your friends, looking back only once to catch Price’s eyes. He sends you a wink, standing from his chair to join Alex, Alejandro, and König.
You don’t know what later entails, but you’re certainly looking forward to it.
-
Everything changes at the beginning of autumn when you return to your motel room exhausted from an incredibly long week.
You don’t take notice of the new car that sits in the usually empty parking lot.
Or how your door doesn’t click when you turn the key.
Or that your duffel bag sits open on top of your bed, instead of under it like you’d left it that morning.
If your father had been here, he would’ve killed you being so careless, for letting your guard down so much.
But the man who’s broken into your room takes up the job for him, waiting until you reach the bathroom door to shove his way out and tackle you to the floor. You don’t get the chance to scream as your head slams into the floor, and your vision goes blurry.
You feel his weight over you as he tries to grab at your arms, words coming out of his mouth that your fuzzy brain can’t process right now. He gets frustrated, hands wrapping around your neck before they squeeze, and your neck burns.
You squirm and push, fighting back with everything you have until you can land a kick to his stomach that sends him stumbling to the side.
You roll onto your stomach, coughing and heaving and stumbling to push yourself up to your feet. You make it to your dresser before a meaty hand wraps around your ankle and yanks.
You're sent back to the ground, scrabbling to grab hold of anything you can on the dresser. Your hand catches something, and you wrap your fist around it on the way down, waiting until the man tries to climb over you again before you swing.
You make contact with him, the object in your hand causing an audible crack against his head. He falls over, and instinct takes over. You swing again, then one more time before you toss the object aside—it's the table lamp that never worked, now that you're given time to look at it—and scoot back until your back is pressed against the foot of your bed.
It takes a minute before your vision can fully focus, and you process the man lying on your floor, blood pooling out from the cracked open dent in his head.
Oh fuck. Oh fuck. Oh fuck.
You don't know what else to do, going straight for your phone. Your eyes glassy, you struggle to find the contact you need and gulp down as much air as you can while it rings.
"Hello?"
I'm sorry to bother you. Please, don't be mad.
"H-Hey. I—I um—"
You can't get words around, lungs constricting too fast to get air in.
"Canary? Are you okay?"
"I don't—I don't know what—what happened. I—"
"Breathe, love. Where are you?"
"He at—he attacked me. I didn't mean to—I didn't—"
You hear conversation in the background, multiple voices.
"Are you at home?"
"I—"
"Yes or no, love."
"Y—yes."
"Stay there, okay?"
"Okay."
You don't mean to hang up, but your hands are too shaky, and you hit the end call button trying to put Price on speaker.
You don't know how long you sit there, hyperventilating as you stare at the man bleeding out on your floor. Minutes? Hours? You have no way to tell; time passes too quickly yet drags second by second.
You don't hear your door open or the soft call of your name, but you do feel the hand on your shoulder.
"No!" You try to pull away, but the person moves in front of you, and you go into full panic mode.
"Stop, it's me. It's me. It's okay. It's me, love."
Two warm hands settle on either side of your face, turning you to look forward, where you find Price on his knees in front of you, concern etched deep into his features.
"I—he tried to—"
His hands fall from your face, instead wrapping around you to pull you into him. You go easily, tucking yourself against him, against the familiar comfort as the knot swells in your throat and the dam finally breaks.
"Shh, it's okay," Price coos into your hair. "I've got you. You're safe."
Despite the circumstances, you believe him.

~ Ties that bind ~
Bucky x reader- arranged marriage.
Summary: You agreed to arrange marriage when you were little, after seeing who you are to marry. You wish you could go back.
WARNINGS: mentions of boobs lol, James trying to flirt if you squint, Sharon being a bitch, swearing..
(Spelling may be bad as I'm very dyslexic sorry in advance)
Tumblr media
2:15. That's the time James said he'll pick you up, and he asked you to be ready. It's 2:53, and you've decided to go for a shower instead.
Slipping your hand into the shower you turn it on trying not to get wet, which you succeed in doing, you lay the shower mat on the floor and look at your self in the mirror before undressing, you step into the now steamy hot shower wetting your hair completely before grabbing your shampoo and washing the roots of your hair. You like shampooing twice before leaving in your conditioner just a smudge so your hair soft, you take a comb but just as you about to start you hear voices come from your room, which is strange as noone really comes in bar you so you were a little confused until you hear them, a deep scruffy voice then you think you hear your bed moving, Is someone laying on it? You thought, you were slowly combing the conditioner in the ends of your hair when you hear a grunt but a deep grunt, you wondered who could be bothering you as it hit you, James motherfucking Barnes. It's been a couple of days since the meeting, and you don't have a James number, but you do have natashas. You were aware that James, Sam and Steve, who ever they may be were talking about all this as Nat over heard but all she said was he were tied, you didn't really care but you do know they Sharon has moved into a spare room on almost the opposite side from the master bedroom, and that one of James few rules were that we were to sleep in the same bed ect ect...
You finish your shower, putting your hair up in a towel, drying yourself and putting on a silk robe, you smirk to yourself as you remembered the last time you saw James were when he ran in to sign a couple papers at the front door and you heard shanon call you a attention seeking where and a man stealing slut, but now here's her man on your bed, without her knowledge, you giggle and unlock the door, breathing quickly and walking out calmly.
You glance over at James and around your room, you see his black blazer hanger on your beauty chair, him laying on your bed, shoes thrown next to it, in an look black shirt and trousers look, shirt slightly unbuttoned, with a shit eating grin on his face. While you, on the other hand, were in a short red silk robe and damp hair wrapped in a black towel, you pull the towel from your head, letting your damp hair, which is slowly shrinking flow free.
James grin slowly falters as his eyes seductively graze across your wet freshly waxed legs and the little bit of cleavage showing, once back to your face he study it like a text book, "if I'd had known you were showering, I would have ran here myself" he speaking proudly like he won a race, a race he ran by himself.
You giggle, slowly making your way to one of the bed posts making sure to sway your hips a little, leaning on the post you pout slowly, "if you were here faster I wouldn't have showered here, maybe at yours but as your late" you check the clock and see its 3:35 "I had to shower here" you continue pout but you weren't sad or annoyed he was late, or he was on your bed, you were more annoyed that hw aas flirting with you becuase he has a girlfriend, you disliked Sharon but no woman should have to know her boyfriend is flirting with another girl, and that he will marry her, no no no no.
Smirking at James as you yourself off the post and walk round the bed next to James, pushing the double doors to enter your closet humming as the smell of diffrent fabrics and soft smells enter your nose, you jump slightly as you feel you large hand on your hip, looking up to see James with a shocked expression on his face. You get an idea in your head, slowly turning to the broad man behind you, grabbing his chin gently with one hand, pulling him down to look at you.
"Go on, mister you get free range" you laugh to yourself as you walk back into your main bed room almost to your bed when you look behind you, still walking, to see James even more confused still standing in the door way, getting to the side of your bed you quickly start explaining before you lose confidence. "You said you wanted to atleast look like a happy couple, so I want you to go mad and dress me" you smile happily as you slowly start sliding down on your side, praying your still atleast a little covered but it didn't take James long to smile like a teenage boy looking at boobs for the first time and disappear into your walk in closet.
Once he's gone, you breathe and wonder where your confidence came from, then you feel bad for Sharon bit then remember she called you a whole and slut multiple times so feel less bad. You grab your phone and see nat texted you 3 times, and the one you can see from your unlocked screen says 'don't feel bad' so when you unlock and see that rest you feel less bad for Sharon as her messages are about how they were fighting because bucky admitted that he'd seen you years earlier at one of your fundraising events but at that time you were dating John so he didn't introduce himself and how he knew for ages she was using him for money but she was shit at hiding it and some other stuff, you replied saying you guessed so and how it was pretty obvious.
Nat: ngl you should probably start making him fall for you
You: why?
He knows she's using him
Nat: yeah but this has happened before, she'll say sorry and how she's change she'll change for a month then slowly change back.
You: oml why don't they don't break up
Like srsly it's kinda embarrassing
Nat: I've been by his side for almost 20 years, they have been together for 3 and at first she was a darling but money changes people
Also, he really loved the person she was and still thinks she's in there
Love does weird shit to us, man
You: fairs, he's picking out an outfit for me rn so I'll see 😛
What do I do just kiss him or something? I've never had to really try it. It's easy when they are already swooning
Nat: I guess, make him feel love for the rest of his life. I doubt he'll let you go
And I'll make sure of it x
You: sound
OK Nat, we met a couple of days ago, lol
Nat did send you another text, but you were by James calling your name while smiling proudly again, throwing your phone on the bed, getting up to see what he's layed out for you, walking past him you see a all black suit with some heels you turn to him nodding with a pleased expression "you did good James, but now I will be changing and you haven't gotten to the stage yet" you wink as you closed the doors but you still see the annoyed just playful gace he pulled, you turn to the suit and pick it up, seeing one of your favourite black lace lingerie sets underneath, you should be upset that he went to fair but you just giggle and started getting dressed and doing very light makeup. Once mascara, lip liner, and lip gloss were applied, you reopened the doors to see his amused, then blank expression, you walk out with your jacket folded over your arm and your shirt undone all the way to expose your bra which for being lingerie with quite covering for the most part, you smile, picking up the bag you had earlier and open your doors making your way to the front hall to where your stuff is to see all of it was gone and with James closely behind you, walking outside to the now only blacked out car there, which wasn't your fathers.
James rushed ahead to open the door for you, climbing in and you watched him walk round and open his door, your bag at your feet with your door closed and seat belt on you were ready, you knew you'd come back home sooner then later so if wasn't emotional.
"James stop staring at my boobs and driving" rolling you eyes as he starts the door and slowly pulling out, you hope it's an short ride that's not to awkward, so you look out the window as the trees go by.

IWTV Trailer (me losing my freaking marbles - YOLO) Pt2
I'm just going frame by frame thru AMC'S BEAUTIFUL new IWTV trailer. But I had to split this into 2 parts cuz Tumblr won't let me post 30+ pics. 🙄
Tumblr media
They transition from Louis telling Claudia "It's you and me," to BB!Dan being "disrespectful"--yelling at Louis wanting him to make him a vamp, like we heard in S01E01.
Tumblr media
And they immediately cut to the clip we've seen before of Louis crying & being dragged off by some old dude (if that's a vampire I feel bad for him, LOL). This might be Claudia/Madeleine's execution, rather than the Trial itself, cuz Louis was wearing a different outfit. (And Claudia's wearing the YELLOW DRESS! Imma be sick! 😭)
Tumblr media
So I wonder when the "best outfit" Jam Reiderson said Claudia wears is gonna take place--which I'm assuming is the red Flamenco dress from the posters.
Tumblr media
It is SO incredible that we're actually gonna see The Trial, and LESTAT BEING THERE, and seeing Madeleine & Armand & Santiago.
Tumblr media
It's interesting that they cut from Armand saying it wasn't SanFran where he failed Louis but Paris, and jump to hallucination!Lestat mocking Armand, yelling "HA!" Is Louis' outfit the same as the one where the old dude dragged him out crying? It kinda looks the same. So is Louis imagining Lestat being FURIOUS with Armand for what's about to happen to Claudia? I wonder why Les is in THAT suit, cuz it looks like the same one he wore in S1E03 the night he kicked Jelly Roll Morton out of town & ragged on Louis about not wanting to kill humans.
Tumblr media
Good lord, here we go. #GoneTooSoonMadeleine. U_U And I LIKE THE IMAGERY of the joint/shared transformation, nodding to Claudia desperately wanting Louis to be her (blood) spouse, as they make Madeleine together.
Tumblr media
Jfc Louis really did almost kill BB!Daniel. O_O He shattered all that plaster--that's brain damage for sure--no wonder he can't remember the interview, LOL. (I still think Armand used the Mind Gift to make him forget everything.)
Tumblr media
A lot of paintings and canvases--art heist Armand?! Are we finally gonna see how he made all that money, going around stealing priceless treasures!? (You can see Armand's feet floating, LOL.) Or is the inside of that chateau his coven raided, "we own dominion!"?
Daniel asking Louis: "YOU BUY THAT?"
AMC thinks they're FUNNY! Cuz they cut right from Armand stealing art he didn't BUY, to lovebomber!Lestat laughing in the townhouse and Louis yelling in what looks like a train station? So he's freaking TF out in public (just like Paul).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ooooo--then they have Lelio!WolfKiller!Lestat about to attack someone (Magnus? Nope, I double-checked it's Armand cuz ofc it is), looking like the freaking BEAST in his red cape--
Tumblr media
--right before we get Lestat's POV of Louis and him fighting in Ep5.
Tumblr media
Cuz yeah, Lestat had snapped, and was beating Louis like he was a DOG, like he wasn't even seeing a PERSON, let alone someone he was supposed to be protecting from vampires/monsters LIKE HIM--and OMFG Louis was in blue just like Belle was during the wolf attack--I hate this show.
Tumblr media
And they immediately jump from Louis getting beat by Lestat to what I assume is Louis getting jumped by the Theatre--trapped in the coffin they were gonna bury him alive in.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What on earth is Claudia throwing? I swear I think these are bombed/blown-up body parts--pieces of someone's life gone cuz of the WAR. (And immediately cut to Loustat fighting.)
Tumblr media
"Who are you, Louis? If there was no ME, if there was no HIM." So yes, the fan theory that Louis WANTS those pieces gone are correct. Or rather--Louis THOUGHT that having those pieces removed would help him. He thought he could recover the lost parts of himself if he wiped his mind of the painful memories. But something must've triggered him--likely finding Claudia's diaries after the 1970s--we are SOOOOO deep in Merrick territory. Cuz Louis wants those memories BACK now--with a vengeance.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
*squints* Are they really GOING THERE with Lesmand!? O_O That's not Nickistat, right? Cuz the very next clip is Armand--using telekinesis on Louis (or Daniel?) WTF?!
Tumblr media
And then we see the familiar clip of Armand using the Fire Gift when he first meets Louis. Just paralleling how much Armand openly flaunts his many gifts in front of Louis, while Lestat tried to hide everything he could do to not scare Louis away--until Ep5 ofc.
Tumblr media
Doomed "happy" "family." YELLOW DRESS ALERT ☝️. The calm b4 ish hits the fan. They immediately cut to Claudia being "welcomed" by the Theatre and Santiago zooming thru the tunnel--
Tumblr media Tumblr media
--DEATH to all of them! "F**k these vampires"--Claudia never lied!
Tumblr media
Louis, you are just too dang pretty--GTFO off my dang screen. 😍
Tumblr media
Another YELLOW dress--these images are cursed.
Tumblr media
Loustat reunion at the Trial, if that's the same outfit Lestat wore here.
Tumblr media
Give him hell, Armand! 😈 He wanted to be the Devil's Minion so bad--here you go! Look at all that glass shattering around him; no wonder Daniel's scared for his life, LOL! (If this is actually Louis throwing a fit I will DIE.)
Tumblr media
Louis finna GO OFF on this BUFFOON! So THAT'S why Armand was mad! XD Louis (or Claudia?) was about to rip Santiago's whole jaw off! XDDDD
Tumblr media
The sound of Louis just crying has me in a STATE. AMC is doing something SO freaking different from the film & the books. Louis is actively trying to make sense of things, as we see this poor man just suffering with PTSD and mental illness; with no one to HELP him but some crotchety old man who borderline hates him, and an old AF vampire who'd loves him so much that he'd rather have Louis forget everything cuz ignorance is bliss. 😩
Tumblr media
Louis WANTS to remember everything. Armand does NOT want the interview. And Daniel is scared.
Holy freaking goodness, what an incredible trailer. 👏 May 12th can't get here fast enough!

Original Post by @wantedplantlife
Elaborating and various things under the cut 🌸
On the battery thingies
They're loyal to each other to a point that even when their opinions differ, if the other asked for support they would indulge them, even if it costed an injury or worse. At the same time, if one of them is sure that said decision would hurt the other, they'd make sure to be there when the realization hits, so to confort the other - but mainly to prevent the other to hurt themselves badly <<
I see jealousy more like an insecurity in their case. Like, they come from a "trust issues" background so whenever someone tries to hit on one of them, the other starts spiraling into an "I don't deserve him/her / they deserve better" scenario. They can't control their instincts, hence why they get nervous. Luckily they're both ready to diffuse the situation whenever this happens <3
On the double-sided responses
[Favorite Thing(s)] Give him an hour and he wouldn't be finished.
[Most Annoying Things] He's proud, she's overprotective when it comes to her feelings. They tend to look for the other's presence when in distress, but they usually don't state the whys and whats. They need to feel safe before opening up, and even if they trust the other, it's hard to just state what's wrong. The other usually gets it on the go, but prefers to comfort their partner until it's time for them to open up. It usually takes days, if not weeks.
Love Languages
Quality time is prevalent even if I think their relationship is a mix of many of those. They just love basking in each other's presence.
I didn't check "gifts", even if they exchanged tokens in multiple occasions during their relationship. It's more of a small series of unique occasions rather than something they do often.
I picture Cullen as a "words of affirmation / acts of service" kind of guy mostly because of his knighthood, but also I think he's one that just loves to reassure / being reassured (in a very pompous way, I'd add <<)
Other Checks
They both came to the conclusion they liked each other, so there is that lol
They do have their own way to communicate, which is like, some sort of sixth sense. They know each other profoundly, having similar coping mechanisms when it comes to dealing with certain stuff, so they just "get it". As I wrote as one of the answer at the bottom, they immediately go for the necessary hug, then they elaborate what's wrong - with personal timing.
Oh they're both very direct people when it comes to fights. She usually tries to get out of every situation with words but when those fail, she's absolutely ready. When they're together, they just go for it. Especially if the other gets disrespected.
Haven't set anything when it comes to kids so I'm leaving the kids option as a blank.
Questions
If I was at least adequate at mystery solving, I'd write that Escape Room AU yesterday lmao they're perfect when it comes to getting out of shit with the power of "Lav, no!" :'D

😐💀 A Dumbass Appeared (Ask Edition) A post regarding Viv Stans (Part 2)
Before we begin I want to say that I will absolutely not be censoring the person in this for valid reasons. I'll however censor the people who are just regular visitors.
What brilliance unfolds in my ask box? They put themselves out there on purpose "because reason"... I guess?
Reminder This is the Internet, you put yourself out there, your out there forever and if you do something stupid or say something stupid, your idiocy might go viral enough where you get called out so don't expect people to cover you up when YOU did this To Yourself
Tumblr media
When I changed my bio to say "Bored ASF, Ask a Goth" I didn't mean be a god damn loser and make up shit on purpose for Bait reasons.

Yes this is real and Yes these were sent by a Viv Stan and it's OBVIOUSLY Bait but I still wanted to review it just for fun because I was literally laughing my ass off and I ain't even high!! 🤣 that And the actual person was Serious about deleting their profile along with taking the time to remove one by one every like and post from their profile which is hilarious. I didn't even make a post at the time and they disappear Anyway 😂. So I had absolutely no option to respond regardless. Lol you didn't think I'd see that but I did LMAO. You took the time to send me this but couldn't take a couple seconds to block me right after so I don't see your profile disappear but I guess you're just that stupid. What stopped you from just deleting your account without going through lengths to type this shit up?
We start with Kona, a boot lickin Viv stan living in denial over the fact that their obviously a Viv Stan. I said I wasn't going to answer this but this is HORRIBLE 😂 How could I Not share!
I love how you literally sat here and took the time to go ""Anonymous"" on the first ask you sent me showing your name and profile only to turn around and send me Another ask and Then another begging to me down on your knees basically telling me to forget I saw your ass 🤣🤣🤣
Tumblr media
Omfgfgfggg🤣🤣🤣
I absolutely applaud how you "went out of your way to ALL these critics" like your some kinda Big Dawg white knighting for Viv telling us to "Listen up" because God Damnit "This town ain't Big Enough for the two of us" only to completely disappear off the face of the earth because you knew I saw your ass and you got scared.
I'm assuming you saw my last post where I said "Stick it" when referring to someone else that didn't agree with the helluva boss and hazbin hotel critical community...so you took it to heart and used it in the ask!? Did my post offend you 🥺🥺🥺? Omg I'm terribly sorry that I'm not a boot licking Viv Stan... I truly am (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)
So... you attack Showtoonz for no reason other than *Double Checks Notes* ahh here we go "Having valid opinions" fresh off the table *chef kiss excuse* lol
LMAO they really said "Ass takes" omg no wayyy 😂
I also applaud how you basically said that the entirety of the helluva boss and hazbin hotel critical community an "embarrassment to our democracy" lol where that come from? and that the best argument you can come up with is that "*ughhh* your all "cOnSeRvAtIvEs" like did you travel across time and space through the Internet, see my page, and pretend to get triggered over the fact that I'm p***tically balanced in every direction?? Open minded if you will!? What does critiquing a show have to do with what's going on outside in the world? You do realize a lot of these people critiquing Viv Are in fact Democrats (me included in that spectrum) that Were fans of Viv and don't agree with Viv because she messes shit up on purpose 😂
Love how your one of those people that's obviously too far on the edge who are an actual embarrassment to society because this is the shit you put out there along with the
"YoUr NoT oNe Of Us" argument because what else would you pull out of your ass like legit your literally the type of person that likes to sniff your own fucking farts... Geez
I can't stop laughing 🤣
"One of Us! One of Us! Gooble gobble, Gooble gobble, One of Us! One of Us!" Like I can't. We Dems ain't gonna bow down to you and kiss your ass like your some kind of King so you might as well get over it buttercup
Regarding the last one for Bait reasons you decided to bring janky brained Joe into this... What a legend! You really showed us Dems the middle finger and went "Fuck ALL of You" 😂 Hey pal I'm NGL, but all I'm saying is that maybe you shouldn't be so into your own p***tical fart clouds so much because all that methane n shit will clog up your thinking.
Tumblr media
"OMG I've been exposed by my own "Brilliance" in taking down these critics, please don't expose me"
W H E E Z E !!!
this last bits my favorite part
"*Clears throat* "If you disagree with me I'm going to "delete my account"
(Welp I guess I disagree with you :D, have a nice day ^^ Adios!! 🤣) Wait? You were actually Serious??? 🤣🤣🤣
"run to Twitter" with all my problems (because of course your one of those losers) and "bitch" to my two followers that "Will raise all hell" down onto those "Antis" who are so Mean and Negative where my post is sure to go viral enough to take down the entire critical community and reap their rights away from them"
Without any proof, but instead your tail tucked between your legs as you run and hide.
PA THETIC
Tumblr media
Managed to get this on the way out. A Viv Stan in denial who's also a hypocrite. Oh but we "anti Viv Stan critics" have "ass takes" and "no valid criticism" You blindly support woomy... The same person who attacked multiple people in our communities for having valid opinions!
Fucking Cringe dude

I just finished reading the lab arc
And double checking and asking a few things before I continue reading,
Is the lab arc the first arc the comic/ series and was there anything before it also what's going on with Randall did he survive or is he one of the mew's that took his identity to fit in with the society?
I would at least say the Lab Arc is the first new people should read, as it's kinda the backbone of why Randy is where he is now.
Anything that chronologically happens before that arc is usually done in one-off comics. If I ever do an arc centered around earlier events, I'll put the link higher than the Lab arc in my pinned post. (I try to have the links there in a chronological-enough order. X3)
The following does contain spoilers for said arc, so if there are any new folks reading this who want to experience it for yourselves, you can see it HERE!
This can be confusing to those without the deep knowledge (aka me, the author). I'll try to make it as clear as I can. ^^
The human body of Randy did die in the fire.
The Mew, Mo, more-or-less "downloaded" Randy's memories into his own head, replacing Mo's own memories.
So the best way I can think of it (and I'm pretty sure I'm borrowing this phrase from other Tumblr peeps and didn't come up with it on my own lol), is that Randy's memories are kind of "piloting" Mo's body.
If you notice I didn't say anything about souls... we'll get to that at a later date. :3

A while ago I wanted to make an animatic of the first chapter of The Lost Hero because it's my favorite book of the series. I got all the thumbnails for it done and even the opening shot but while working on it I released three things.
One, This was going to take a long time, which I don’t mind but then the other points started flooding in.
2, There are a lot of problems with the first chapter of the series, many of which I didn't want to be responsible for fixing because that's a lot of pressure lol.
And 3, every second im working in this is time I could be working on my own ocs and stories so I decided to drop it.
It was still a fun thing for me to do, I’m happy I tried, and ive been able to do more impressive stuff since this. But since im not gonna finish I thought I should post it for funsies :))
As said before this was an opening shot, composed of fuzzy memories from Jason as they are slowly being erased from his mind before waking up on the bus. There are some fun easter eggs in the background if you'd like to find them.
The last slide is supposed to say “Chapter 1, Jason” in Greek. I think the video cuts out before it finished and im not sure why, also I double-checked to see if that was written correctly and im 99% sure it is but I apologize if it is incorrect.

SOMEONE PLEASE!!! I THOUGHT I SAVED A GHOST X READER FIC ON HERE BEFORE I LEFT TO GET FOOD AND CLOSED MY APP BUT EITHER TUMBLR LOST IT OR I DIDNT DOUBLE TAP TO HEART IT (I swear I did tho and I saw the heart but whatever)
I'll give a TW for SA here bc it is in the story, and im sorry, but I will have it as the 6, 7, and 10 bullet points if you want to skip. Mainly 6 but 7 and 10 may be implied.
Anyway this is what I remember:
They were friends for awhile, specifically mentions their age gap like 14 reader / 17 simon when they were growing up
Which I think was when it was mentioned she had a crush on him/told him when they were hanging out at that age and he rejected her by calling her an idiot and to get that idea out of her head
Reader in the beginning has a hard time making herself cum/thinking she was broken
She works at a bar
Doesn't have a lot of money, ate cup of noodles that simon wasn't happy about (he gives her money for groceries)
She is serving a table of drunk rowdy guys right before she leaves her shift and they rip her shirt and grope her. Her boss gets mad at her and makes her apologize
Her coworker gives her a hoodie to wear
She cries a lot, simon comes to check on her bc she didn't answer her phone and he holds her
He asks her what's wrong she says bad day, and he's like "I don't know what's worse that you're lying to me or that you feel like you can't talk to me about what happened" ? Not verbatim
He ends up seeing her shirt when she takes off the hoodie and she goes throws up and then showers
He stands guard at the door
Gets her to eat a little
Eventually, she tells him before they sleep
Next day they're on the couch and she's thinking about kissing him. Goes to shower again and then nap??
I read a little past that point, I think Simon goes for a walk?? But I was working on food and not really paying attention, lol. It was really long I think that was little over half way of that part.
I'm currently scrubbing through my FYP on tumblr, seeing if it'll pop up again. I'm so sad, I was so invested 😢 I've tried so many combinations to search it too with no luck. Although I have found several other posts that I'm now adding to my reading list. So if ya see me reblogging your stuff that might be why.
I also definitely found the fic bc someone sent an ask about it and it was a blurb or something about a part of the story I think.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!

Y'ALLL!!! when people say that self concept is key they mean: IT. IS. THE. KEY!
here's my success story from focusing on my self concept for a week! just a single week, i am in tears!!
so before, i used to brush off self concept and think that i'll work on it/get a got sc when i get my other desires, which is all wrong. i am so thankful that i let go of the old story, i used to limit myself and wasn't even aware. self concept can easily show you all your desires in the 3d, and then some!! the realisation made my life a 1000x easier.
then i read some posts and success stories that came about all thanks to self concept and i said to myself: that can be me, it is time to stop perceiving myself as a victim/bad manifestor, and i should just start focusing on my self concept! it is time to change the story.
so i started vaunting and ranting and affirming how my self concept is amazing, through the roof, wonderful, perfect, never fails me... you get the story. i didn't even visualize, didn't go into the void, didn't script. i was vaunting in front of the mirror, looking at myself and sometimes pretending i was talking to someone. i repeated that for a week, and almost every day i got some of my desires !!!
now, onto what i manifested:
1. An adorable kitten! my parents never would have gotten me a cat, no matter how much i asked them to, so i just relaxed myself and stepped into the mindset that no matter what anyone in my reality does or says, my desires are here and nothing can stop them. on the second day of the week, my parents asked me if i wanted a cat because my grandparents' cat just gave birth to three cutest kittens.
2. Perfect vision! i am someone who has been wearing glasses my entire life, my sight was deteriorated at birth due to some complications during labor, and my optician told me some years ago that there was no chance for me to be fully recovered (i had a couple of surgeries so far, and constant check-ups, it was so nagging and uncomfortable). she also told me a month ago that i should not use my phone, but nothing can stand between me and my screen time so i just decided to manifest my bad eyesight away! and i did it, but it's weird without my glasses lmao.
3. A new friend group! my old friends were closed-minded people, i am talking unsuportive, bashing on other people, but 'kind' only to others in the friend group, full of negativity and hate. i just needed a fresh friend group, so i manifested one! one of my friends now goes to the same uni as me, we start in october and it's so exciting heheh
4. Fluent in French language! i just wanted to be fluent in a language that wasn't my first language or english, and i had been studying french in elementary school so that seemed like the best option for me.
5. Money! i manifested the amount of my scholarship to double in my bank account and for no one to bat an eye at that, and for a certain amount of money to appear in my wallet daily (yes, spawning thing is so simple with the right mindset!!!), and for my parents to be rich because they deserve it.
6. A perfect dorm room! the dorm rooms my sister had been living in were just not it, so i needed to take thing in my own hands and manifest a two-bed bedroom with it's own bathroom (no communal bathrooms for me pls) in a dorm not far away from college which i share with another friend.
7. Desired body! my figure now is slim, i have 6-line abs odbwkdbajwhj i could only dream of that a month ago, everything on this list makes me so happy!! i went shopping with my mom yesterday and every pair of heans i tried actually fit me which is a big deal for me lol
8. Lenient parents! as i mentioned, my parents were not the ones to let me get a pet, and they also were very strict with my school grades in the past, and with my going out and hanging out with friends. but now, i have a great relationship with them, they are relaxed and they don't forbid me from doing anything (i literally am going on a staycation with a friend this weekend).
9. New clothes! yesterday during shopping, i found so many amazing sweatshirts, even one that is croptopped which i never used to wear, but got the courage to because who else would wear it if not a bad bitch?? i got a denim jacket, some jeans, sneakers... all i need at a discount!!
self concept makes life easy!! asf!! just stay focused on your new reality and there is nothing you can't get! have fun manifesting, and thank you cinefairy for opening my eyes <333
LETS GOOOOO THIS IS SO AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ SO PROUD OF YOU ANON WOOW. all these achievements just from affirming how amazing you are.

like real people do - hawks/keigo takami
Keigo recalls everything that led up to this moment where you walked towards him in a little woodland chapel on your wedding day. For once in his life, he feels real.
1.5k, sfw, reader is getting married yay, based on a hozier song bc why not right, double posted on a03
Keigo paces back and forth his suite, fidgeting ever so slightly with his necktie, mumbling the vows he is to share with you during the wedding, ever so anxious about the reception, about your family, about the words he might fumble over, and most importantly, about you.
He glances at the clock to make sure he's not late or mistaking the time for something else-- the hero who's too fast should most likely be confident about his time and tardiness, but somehow, he feels the need to check the clock every now and then, as if time would pass him by and you'd leave him at the altar, your legs tired from waiting for him.
Your cousins go up to check on him and offer some consolation and comfort, words of affirmation that didn't really seem comforting at all for Keigo and just managed to spur his anxiety even further.
"She's beautiful, Takami! Like seriously-- you wouldn't recognize her. It's like she was replaced by someone else, lol."
"Literally shut up you juvenile, that's her husband you're talking to."
"Am i not right though? She was hideous to me as a baby-- don't lie ma!" 
Your aunt flicks the back of your younger cousin's head and walks up to Keigo slowly, aged lines around her eyes crinkling to reveal a soft and motherly smile that eases some of the tension in the room.
Growing up, Keigo Takami was always alone, no room for family in a life of an industry hero, one groomed, made, and polished to perfection to be the ideal hero the commission trained him to be. Before there was you, there were some people that filled the emptiness in his life for a little while till they eventually and inevitably left him, unwilling to keep up with his job and with his career. Or maybe they didn't understand his need for something of his own, something that wasn't given by the commission-- something that he could call his own.
Call it cliche, selfish, or ordinary, but all Keigo Takami wanted was something real. A sense of normalcy in his life that was so carefully fragmented and intricately crafted, in his world that felt superficial, the world in which he had to cater to rankings, fans, and the commission; a place where he could stop digging his grave for a moment, for something to pull him from the sand, or for something to allow him to be vulnerable and not ask at all about the scars and where it came from, not ask about the wounds and treat him wholly, for something to be patient enough till he showcased himself. In this case, someone.
You made sure he had a place to come back to, even after he made it clear he wasn't looking for a relationship after his last one turned out to be a mess where his previous partner wouldn't stop prying about his wounds; and you made it clear that you didn't want anything with him either, you were doing this as a friend.  He often flew into your small apartment while you were working, a boyish grin on his face as he toes off his boots and sets them aside, making a beeline for the kitchen where you'd already have a meal waiting for him now that his visits were frequent.
He would watch you work, nest into your side and try to read the words you were typing or the paperwork you were sorting out till he eventually fell asleep, the fatigue from his line of work getting to him before he could even go to his own place. You would sigh and throw a blanket over him and continue working.
Both of your touches never went further than the slight graze of your fingers when you read together, his hand supporting you as you try to reach up for a condiment in your cabinet, your hands burrowing themselves into his wild, unruly hair as you both watch the same old shit the TV played. 
It was funny, a little tragic even, how you both were so oblivious to your feelings before you officially dated. Keigo was hesitant to push too far with you because of his past and how everyone he's been with always makes a big deal of the normal things he never had, and you were scared to throw away a friendship too good for your feelings you thought would never be reciprocated, having been abandoned and used in the past.
Eventually, fate had found its way into your arms, opened your eyes rather painfully, and you took the risk. So did Keigo.
You did not ask him where he came from, he did not ask you; you waited for him to come home, understanding the range of his career as a hero and how much it meant to him, and he treated you carefully, always making sure to show up on your doorstep no matter what. You gave him real, domestic bliss; kissed him like the morning sun kisses the sky, held him like the stars hold the moon, and loved him as deeply as the universe could ever go.
There were some fights that were unavoidable, yes; but that was all part of things that real people do. Your disagreements weren't the end, and you always had positive reinforcements and affirmations to help diffuse the situation.
You'd hold him when he shook in his sleep, caress him gently when he quietly sobbed in front of you as he told you about his past, and you reminded him that you were always going to be there for him, unwavering and unwilling to disappear.
You didn't pry about his past until he felt comfortable with you, and to be frank, you didn't really mind as long as he was and he remained here.
Your family accepted Keigo as their own, and it was the first time he felt the full force of a large family like yours when you took him home for dinner when you both had finally gone out. Your dad didn't have the bad gut feeling as he did with your past partners; your mom didn't stay silent as she had with your other partners, and they felt at ease with the man you brought home. It's as of they knew his intentions with you; the intention to love you whole-heartedly.
"Keigo, dear boy," your aunt dusted off the sleeves of his suit.
"I can hear your heartbeat," she refers to her quirk and looks at him with stern eyes. "My sister is still with your wife, dolling her up as we speak."
Keigo perks up at the mention of you as his wife, easing some of the anxiety he had stored up.
"You love her, right?" Your aunt asks with the voice she used to chastise you with when you were younger.
Keigo breathes out a sigh as he pictures you in a white dress, joyful and bright, and suddenly he feels at peace.
"With all my heart."
Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in Keigo's life, one that he will now share with you forever.
He now waits for you at the altar, his wings neatly tucked behind him, golden locks gelled back, and his written vows stored safely in his breastpocket. The venue looks beautiful, ethereal, even; you've chosen a little wooden chapel in your hometown that gave off a woodland feel, a warm and familiar radiance filling up the space as the sun shines through the stained glass. 
The thought of forever lingers in his mind and scares him for a bit till he remembers a wide variety of things such as; waking up next to you every morning prior to today, quietly laughing to himself as he looks at the drool dribbling from your chin, mouth open a bit too wide, and definitely not light snoring-- he snaps a picture as a souvenir to laugh at for when he's away weeks on end. His heart always aches a little bit when he thinks of you sleeping in your shared bed, a tad too big for you to sleep alone in. 
He remembers how you got lost in a city where he was temporarily assigned to by the commission to patrol, how you wanted to surprise him with a hearty packed lunch you spent the entire morning preparing only to find yourself lost among the city's port-- your stubbornness refusing to call your boyfriend in fear that the surprise might be ruined, only for him to answer a call from you; huffing and whiny, probably tired from roaming around the port. He finds you sat on a bench facing the sea, phone clutched to your ear as you continue to talk to him, unaware he already spotted you from afar.
He remembers the night you held him close as though you were never letting him go, where he finally felt free and where he finally found home; he accepts forever if it means he gets to return everything you've done for him a hundred more times, forever.
Keigo almost misses the opening of the doors and his breath halts for a moment as he sees your figure, dressed in white, stunning and magical, enter the chapel as your favorite song plays.
So it's true, what everybody says about weddings where the groom sheds a tear upon seeing his bride for the first time, Keigo thinks to himself.
You send him the most beautiful and beaming smile, rivalling the morning sun that surrounded the chapel; your dress glowing heavenly, the light behind you effectively acting as a halo that outlined your body-- how you look divine in his eyes, how he would give the world for you, how he would devote his life to you.
Your trembling hands clutch the bouquet of wildflowers as you try to catch your breath. Your husband looked dazzling and handsome as ever.
You whisper to yourself, knowing that he could hear you from afar.
"I love you."
---
"What's this song?" your boyfriend asks as he settles down the grocery he had just bought from the local convenience on the counter, looking towards the speaker. Keigo had finally snagged himself a well-deserved break for vacation and you both decided to go home to your hometown and show him round the place you grew up in; the wooden house by the sea.  Music played from your speaker was accompanied by the soft waves of the sea clashing into the shore, the faint breeze of the palm trees, and the birds chirping in the glow of the afternoon.
Keigo spots you in the middle of the kitchen, golden with afternoon sun, sundress flowing as smoothly as liquid diamond, and my god, were you beautiful.
i could not ask you where you came from
You slowly moved to the music that was playing and smiled widely at Keigo, the sun bouncing off the wooden floors that created a familiar warmth; the afternoon light reflecting off your legs as you hummed to the music.
i could not ask you, neither could you
"It's my favorite song," you sigh as Keigo wraps an arm around your waist, pulling you closer to him as he gently guided you into a little dance that had you giggling like a love-struck fool. Well, that made sense.
You nuzzled your face into his chest, your hums sending vibrations through his golden chest earning a low purr from your boyfriend.
"If it's your favorite," he lifts your chin up to face him. "Then it's mine, too."
honey just put your sweet lips on my lips,
He kisses your forehead, tracing the outline of your body with his rough, calloused hands as you lean into his touch; till he finally plants a kiss to your lips. Everything just felt so right, so surreal, so perfect; like this moment was written in the stars to happen, as if you both were lost in the expanse of time, forever etched into his memory.
He felt real. You were real. Not just what his heart has longed and ached for so long; it wasn't the flashes of memories he had before, one where he thought was from a past life; this was real, and so were you.
we should just kiss like real people do.

Some Sentences on a Sunday
Tumblr media
So, it's Sunday, and well my sinuses have been pounding all day attempting to work their way out of my head I'm certain
Apparently, that means all I write is stuff that is nowhere near where I'm at in what I fondly call 'hockey and books' that makes me wanna cry as if the pain wasn't bad enough lol so I'm a share some of that with y'all - even though it's rough and def needs edits lol
❤️Thanks ever so much for the tags today - @typicalopposite @agame-writes @bitbybitwrites @heybuddy-drabbles @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @england-would-fall @suseagull04 @taste-thewaste @adreamareads @stellarm - I am excited to check out what ya posted ❤️
It's a double six sentence sunday today - which means I counted but didn't like where it ended and I do what I wanna really lol
Alex is soaring across the ice, skating the best damn game of his life, getting open, and putting the puck in the net; he’s got himself a hat trick this game. He, Liam, and their team are ahead and just ready to put this baby to bed. It’s less than 2 minutes left in the third period, and they’re in the middle of a power play. Some goons from the other team have been gunning for Alex the whole game, ramming him into the boards with extra force that the officials apparently don’t see, flinging slurs under their breath as they do so. Two of them had finally got caught when they had decided elbowing and butt-ending Alex in front of one of the officials who actually will call it was a good idea. So, now, here they are in the middle of a power play, fast approaching the end of this game and another win - he’s chasing the puck Liam flings in front of him. When it happens, he sees Henry in his seat out of the corner of his eye. He wasn’t even aware he was here this whole game and assumed he wouldn’t be since he had ripped Alex’s heart out only 3 days ago, but there he is, and Alex is distracted for that moment. That moment allows the guy from the other team to come at him and take him completely unaware, with no chance of bracing for the impact as he is rammed into the boards. His whole body is on fire, as the force of the collision with the wall is felt throughout; he doesn’t realize he’s falling until his ass hits the ice. He sees his helmet roll on the ice before he feels the moment of contact where his head slams into the ice. He thinks he hears his name shouted in a familiar voice, only it doesn’t sound like it usually does when he’s heard it. It’s the last thing he hears before the darkness overtakes him.
Alex will be fine, and our boys will work their shit out at some point, but they are gonna suffer a bit more in this than I had planned
As it is late(and I'm certain everyone has already done this) and I can no longer look at this laptop and need to re-med I'm gonna leave this an open tag for anyone who wants it - SO IF UR READING THIS AND HAVEN'T YET POSTED AND WANT TO PLZ TAG ME SO I CAN SEE WHAT YA WROTE AND DON'T HAFTA HUNT IT DOWN lol

About Dark and Shadow's Past
Finding out that Dark and Shadow knew each other before Dark went away was eyeopening, because that means they've known each other for a really long time. But exactly how long? And how old were they when they met? Time for me to do my patented Over-analyze move and scrape every canon detail together to form a rough timeline.
Okay so let's start with what we know and work backwards; Time, as of the HSH, is 38. Twilight is 23. And Four is 22-23.
We know Time was dealing with the Termina situation for years, although the number of years is unclear. The only information we have is that we know Malon and him divorced just a few weeks before Majora was murdered and Time was put in the hospital. Thanks to the hospital records Hyrule sends Twilight in HSH ch.4, he know Time was between 25-30 years old at the time. That means that at max the Termina Conflict was between 8 and 13 years ago.
That would make Time, as of his divorce and Majora's deaths, between 25-30.
Next, we also know that the last time Twilight saw Time and Malon together and happy was when he was "a kid". Not super descriptive, but at least we can say that he was probably 12 or younger. That would mean at minimum it happened 11 years ago, which falls neatly between our 13-8 year gap. Since I don't think there's any definitive way to narrow it down further, I'm going to just go with Time and Malon being divorced when Time was 27. And since we know that Time and Malon were newly weds when they moved to Termina (the townhouse was the first time they were living together as per HSH for the Holidays ch.4), that means they got married After Time had dealt with Ganon. Let's assume they were married for 2 years - long enough for the divorce process, Malon to grow roots in the city and stay after the divorce, and have a dysfunctional marriage.
So Time was approximately 25 when he was married.
Now, let's talk Dark's timeline. We know very little about him. The only truly definitive information we have is that he was caught and jailed when he was 19 and that his capture did not coincide with Ganon's defeat. He was questioned in prison, so he had active information that the crown was still using to combat Ganon. We also know that he was modified to look like Time. Being so young, he would have to have been close in age with Time, who I can only assume is slightly older than Dark. Also Time would have had to have made some sort of name for himself to prompt Ganon to create Dark. The process to look for someone to deal with Time started when Dark was 16, so that's another 3 years that Time must have been an active participant in the war.
Time didn't finish high school, so I think he got recruited at around 16 (not sure - I don't remember specifically. My mind doesn't hold Time lore like is does for everyone else lol. Please if someone's got that old post about Time's backstory send me the link so I can double check). Assuming he didn't get actively involved for a few years to train, let's say the Great Deku Tree died 3 years later when Time was 19 - old enough to be a participant but still young. A year or so would be sufficient to make a name, prompting Ganon to start looking for a double.
So during the Ganon War, Time is 21 and Dark is 16.
Time arrests Dark when he is 24 and Dark is 19. A five year gap.
That means as of HSH, after 14 years of prison, Dark is roughly 33.
Now for Shadow.
We know even less about him, if you can believe that. In fact just about the only thing we know about him is that he's around Four's age.
Four is 22-23. Let's say 23, to give ourselves as much leeway as possible. At first I would have put Shadow at the same age but if Shadow is 23 that means Dark would have gone away when Shadow was 9. Not impossible, but not plausible either - Shadow seems too young to connect to Dark and I doubt 19yr old Dark would care about a kid that young. So I'd say Shadow is actually a few years older than Four, maybe 25-26. That would make Shadow 11-12 when Dark was arrested. Old enough to have some time to form some sort of a bond if Shadow is mature for his age.
So that means that by the time Dark was captured, he was 19 and Shadow was about 12.
This may not be accurate - there is very little concrete evidence and there's plenty of wriggle room for change. Maybe Dark is younger, maybe Shadow is older. I have no idea. The only thing I do know is that I'm intrigued by these two and their mysterious connection.
These days they have that antagonistic friendship that is so typical for a duo of skrunkly criminals. But I do wonder what kind of relationship they had back in the day - some sort of twisted Big Brother Program energy? Or was it friendly with Dark using Shadow as a way to subconsciously cling to some form of childhood, despite how messed up both of them were. Or was Shadow trying to get a leg up by networking with Ganon's shiny new child soldier? Did Dark warn Shadow off of getting involved with the Dragmire clan to spare him the shit he himself went through?
I have so many questions and I am, as always, eagerly awaiting any information about these two.
(@st0rmyskies how did I do? Did I get even slightly close or am I off by a mile?)

Carrying a damp rag in your hand as you slowly made your way through the house, cleaning as you went, you began opening drawers and sorting them out.
Opening another drawer, you moved a piece of paper, revealing an old cigar box. You smiled the second you saw it, taking it out as fond memories washed over you.
Sliding open the lid, you revealed a pile of post-it notes in various colors covered in your's and Bradley's handwriting.
Picking a few up, you read through the notes, some with obvious memories attached, and some you couldn't quite remember.
'I love you!'
'I'll meet you at the spot at 7!'
'Don't forget the chargers this time'
'Dinner is at 6'
'I didn't want to wake you. I will see you later, I love you.'
You don't know why you kept most of them, but every time you found one from Bradley, it felt like he left a little piece of him behind, just for you.
Grabbing another one, you smiled, though it held an air of melancholy with it.
'Will you be my Valentine? ☐ Yes ☐ No'
The memory ran through your head. You and Bradley had been dating for a few months. It was the first Valentines Day you would be spending as a couple. He had stuck it on your phone when you weren't looking.
When you noticed it, you met his eyes from across the room and he winked, before grinning at you and motioning for you to check a box.
You had acted as though it was a tough decision, tapping the pen against your chin as you decided what to check. He frowned playfully as he clasped his hands together, as if begging you to say yes. After another moment, you had checked yes, of course.
Every year since then, he had asked you in the same way, always leaving the note for you to randomly find. On your pillow to find when you woke up, on your car steering wheel when you headed to town, on the bathroom mirror when you went to take a shower.
Each years note was stacked behind the last. All with the same question and always with the same response.
Looking up at the calendar, you noted that Valentines Day was only a few days away. And for the first time, Bradley wasn't here.
Valentines Day was not the most celebrated holiday, nor was it all that important in reality. But it would be the first time you weren't together for it.
It would be the first time you didn't dress up a little more than any other date night. The first time you wouldn't buy each other flowers, or cheesy cards. The first time you wouldn't make a themed breakfast for the two of you.
You both always made it so fun, you loved your cheesy holiday together. But even if you couldn't do it this year, you would live, as long as he came back at some point. That was all you could really ask for.
Putting the post-it notes back in the box and placing it gently in the drawer, you continued with your cleaning, trying to busy yourself.
As you made your way towards the bedroom, you stopped as you heard a knock at the door. Heading back towards the door, your immediate thought was that it was a delivery.
Peaking out the window, you saw no one. Opening the door, you immedietely looking down, expecting a box or envelope. But seeing nothing, you furrowed your brow and looked around, confused.
Shaking your head slightly, you figured maybe it was someone who had the wrong house, or maybe just a bored kid. As you turned to head back in, your eyes caught on something pink on the door, as you did a sharp double take.
On the door, just under the peep-hole, there was a pink post-it note. Your breath hitched in your throat as you grabbed the note, reading the message, written in familiar handwriting.
'Will you be my Valentine? ☐ Yes ☐ No'
Spinning around, your eyes darted around before locking on Bradley just as he stepped out from behind the car, a grin on his face as he removed his sunglasses.
"Bradley!" You laughed out as you rushed to each other, quickly embracing each other.
He laughed as he hugged you, picking you up off the ground as he spun around. "Miss me?"
"Always." You replied with a bright grin on your face as you pulled away. You placed your hands on either side of his face, making sure you weren't dreaming. You pulled his head down and pressed your forehead against his as you spoke "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Well then I couldn't surprise you could I?"
Reaching towards his pocket, you watched as he pulled out a pen and smiled. "So?"
You repressed a laugh as you took the pen, before placing the post-it on the wall and checking the yes box. Turning back to him you stuck it on his chest before patting it two times, unable to remove the grin from your face.
Placing his hand over the post-it he smiled widely as he reached out, pulling you to him again before he brought his face close to yours.
He stared into your eyes for a moment before he spoke softly "I missed you so much."
"I missed you too." You replied.
"And I love you so much."
You giggled softly "And I love you so much too."
Leaning in, your lips met as you wrapped your arms around him. It looks like you'll get your cheesy holiday together after all.
xx End xx

Hi finnie! I hope you're having a good timezone ^^
I was wondering if you'd do a headcanons post for the riddlers reacting to a fem!reader they have a crush on accidentally sending them spicy photos (nudes or lingerie, chefs choice lol)? I was gonna ask for rogues reacting but that's just cause I also wanted to ask for scarecrow, mad hatter and daddy ozzie but I feel like that might be asking a lot ><
Feel free to ignore this or just do parts of it if you're feeling up to it!!♡
- E.F.
Accidental Nudes
Riddler Headcanons (with some Daddy Oz and others) ok but effy i just got off work for almost two weeks so i am in a perfect mood to do all the riddlers and the other little scruffs too! request info • prompt list • send me a request • kofi • masterlist minors DNI!! 🔞 cw for nsfw stuff: suggestive stuff
Tumblr media
gotham
*very cute pic of you standing up from behind*
he's not sure you meant that for him but he's double checking anyway
that you meant to send it! not the picture
although he has been staring at it without blinking since you sent it
cheeks red completely
sweat on his forehead
mouth suddenly very dry despite the fact that he's sure he's drooling out the corner of his open mouth
if you ask about it, he'll pretend he hasn't seen it
to save you both the embarrassment
arkham
*"how about this?"*
*lingerie set pic*
*"fuck. shit. please ignore and delete all messages ed"*
*"meant to send to a friend"*
*"ed seriously pls"*
buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz omg
he's told you about the multiple texting thing before just send it in one easy to ignore paragraph
and why are you texting him when he specifically said that he was busy working on- OH
ok less annoyed at you now
because this was worth the interruption
and fighting the temptation to tell you that it looks good
he kindly deletes the messages
but he has a photographic memory
and he'll be grinning like an idiot next time he sees you in the flesh
capullo
*tit pic*
*"oh shit, here we go"*
OH OH OH OK
so you said, and you were very clear
that unwarranted dick pics were not appropriate!!
so how come you get to send nudes???
i mean not that he's complaining
but uh... tit for tat you know
now if you're open to requests
how about taking one with a lower view... are you wearing anything on the bottom half?
or are you completely nude?
WHAT!? SO HE CAN'T EVEN ASK!?
unburied
*flirty just out the shower pic*
*"sorry, not meant for you, but enjoy!"*
well that's infuriating
because first of all maybe he was enjoying it
but he definitely will be trying not to now out of spite
then again... you do look wonderful
and it is a complete tease to send him a picture meant for someone else
although that might just be a clever trick
either way, saved to camera roll for later
but he won't be telling you that
telltale
*top half bare, bottom half in panties pic*
*"edward! please delete the last message, i am so sorry"*
disappointment immeasurable
you're the kind of person who sends pictures like that over messages?
he was right to think he shouldn't have given you his number
but also
if this was indeed an accident
that means you didn't intend to send it to him
which means this gratuitous display of your body was meant for someone else
and as soon as he finds out who you might find them uncontactable
dano
*exceptionally good butt pic with panties*
he doesn't get it...
OH! that's... you! oh my...
of course he'll delete it!
but... who did you mean to send it to?
you're just taking it for yourself? oh ok
that's nice! he's glad!
glad that you were... appreciating yourself, not glad that...
that you weren't sending it to someone else, because that would make him jealous and he's not jealous at all
because he doesn't... you don't like him like that so it's fine
it's whatever
he's going to go lie face down on the floor for a while now
with his phone on silent
twojar
*topless selfie*
*"ooooooh... sorry"*
don't be sorry, nothing he hasn't seen before
do you know how many women send him shirtless pics
he's inundated with them, frankly
it's a nuisance yes, but at least you didn't mean to send it
you... didn't mean to send it, right?
right! just an accident! of course!
why would you ever mean to send him those pictures
you're not interested in him in the slightest
and that... that doesn't drive him mad at all
that doesn't make you one of the few women to turn him down
which doesn't make him want you all the more
especially now that he's had a glimpse of what he's missing out on
young justice
*teasing selfie with your hands over your boobs*
*"oh gosh, ed! so sorry!!*"
he hasn't even seen the second message
because when he opened the first one, he threw his phone across the room
is it possible to get that hard that quick?
because he is and he did
he barely even got a look at you, and there was barely even anything to see
but it was enough to send him over the edge
genuinely close to tears over how hot you are
and how pathetically desperate he is for you
don't expect to get a reply
and he'll also be hiding from you for at least three weeks
AND THE BONUS BOYS <3
penguin
*showing off your new lingerie*
*"uh... sorry, mr cobblepot... finger slipped"*
hey you know what, that's ok, these things happen
but uh... your finger ever takes a fancy for slipping again
he wouldn't be complaining
also, it looks good on you kid, you should be sending that to everybody you know
looks good enough to sell the stuff
which speaking of, how much was it
maybe as a thank you for lifting his spirits up he can send you the cost, a treat
maybe you spend that money on something new
make sure to show him that as well
scarecrow
*nude selfie*
*"good god in heaven jon please don't look at that picture"*
you could have just found him and deleted it yourself in the time it took for him to see the message
his phone is always on silent and he never knows where it is
perhaps the cracks on the screen shielded most of you
either way, when you see him next, flustered and embarrassed, he can't help but revel in your nerves
he won't tell you he saw it
he won't even acknowledge it
but now he can finally pinpoint the reason he doesn't mind being around you
mad hatter
*sweetly posed picture of you topless and smiling
gosh golly, he almost dropped his phone into his cup
verbal and visual example of a keyboard smash
cheeks are bright pink, eyes are WIDE
should he send one back? express his apperciation?
surely you can't have meant this for him
perhaps it would be best, most polite, to delete the images
but now that he knows what's hiding under your shirt
and how sweet your smile can look even in the most...
intimate circumstances
it's going to be harder to hide his crush
