[looseratinthegarage]

you said i could bother you so heres another request: jason, michael, bubba and thomas with a s/o who gives them headpats cuz recently ive wantdd to pat their heads theyre so CUTE GDI

I'M SO SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG!!!! Depression be like- anyway, I love head pats too T^T here's my take on your request <3

TW: violence, fluff, language

Jason

•At first he’d be wary of them. He would be self-conscious and not rly want you that close to his face, even if you couldn’t see it. But after time and building the relationship, he’ll come to love them, and he’ll show it.

•He loves them so much that he’ll seek them out throughout the day. He’ll walk up to you and lightly tap you on the shoulder. If you ignore him, let’s be real, he’d cry. But! If you're a good s/o and give him da love, he’ll be ecstatic! He makes a low rumbling noise when happy, almost like a pur.

You were sitting in his cabin, reading to pass the time. You heard his thunderous footsteps walk up the stairs, then the door creaks open, and you look up to see your large lover. He stands in the doorway rather menacingly, but it’s become a comforting sight for you.

You set the book down and got up to greet him. He placed his machete next to the door and took his shoes off. Once you reached him, he opened his arms for a big hug. You of course snuggle right up to him.

“Awww, you got blood on me, go wash up, you dirty boy.” You laugh and push yourself off his chest

He wasn’t upset by this, he understood you didn’t like being dirty, or bloody in this case. He lumbers over to your shared bathroom and strips down. You walk into the kitchen and grab a used rag to wipe some of it off before walking to your bedroom. You take your shirt off and throw it in the hamper. You reach into the shirt drawer and grab the first one you see, it happens to be one of Jasons. You slipped it over your head, it was far too big for you, but you liked it that way. You walked back into the living room and plopped down on the couch.

You heard the water stop running, a few moments later the door opened, and out walked a steaming Jason. He dipped into your shared bedroom to put on a fresh pair of clothes. He then strolls out into the living room squeaky clean. He sits beside you on the couch and rests his head on your lap with a deep sigh. You begin to pet his head.

“Rough day, my love?” You leaned down and placed a kiss on the side of his face

He nodded and snuggled further into you, adoring the affection.

Michael

•At first? Fuck no. Pardon my French. It would be a miracle if you were able to get that close to him in the beginning.

•but after a while, once you’re able to actually be near him/touch him, he’ll start to like it, maybe too much… this man is very needy, at least RZ is. If RZ Michael needs affection you’ll know it. He’ll either pick you up and put you on your shared bed or walk up behind you and place his head atop of yours and wrap his arms around you.

•he’s a big snuggly boy, change my mind. He would love it if you gave him head pats and played with his hair. It reminds him of his mother, and how he felt safe around her.

Michael had just finished his latest mask and strolled upstairs to find you already in bed. He quietly walked around the bed and pulled back the covers. He slipped into bed, hoping not to wake you, but you stirred. You roll over and cuddle up close to him. You reach your hand up and begin petting his head soothingly.

He grunted in approval and pulled you to rest on his chest. You pepper feather light kisses to his face, and one last, long kiss to his lips. You rest your head in the crook of his neck and continue to play with his hair. You felt safe in his arms, and he loved being able to protect you. He placed a kiss on your head and let out a deep sigh. For the first time in a long time, he was happy.

Bubba

•Sign. Him. Up. This boy LOVES affection! The first time you pat his head- by the gods he is over the moon. He’ll absolutely squeal with delight and pat your head back. He’d be very giggly and giddy that you touched him! Not like that perverts!

•Once the head pats start, they will never stop. Aka he’ll always want them, and who could blame him? Your amazing!! If he needs affection, he’ll tell you… in his own way! By wiggling needily in front of you, bowing his head, or pulling you in for a hug and whining, if it's been a particularly rough day.

You were cleaning the kitchen, Drayton never cleans up after himself, and insisted you cleaned to help the family and then proceeds to yell at you for rearranging ‘his kitchen’!- You had just finished washing one of the larger pots and heard muffled screams from outside. You sighed and wiped your hands dry with one of the many kitchen rags. The door burst open and in came a sobbing girl.

She ran to you and begged you to save her, that you both needed to leave because a ‘crazy guy’ was ‘out there’ and trying to kill her. You heard the roar from Bubba’s chainsaw in the distance. The girl panicked and grabbed your arm, asking if you had a gun. You smiled and walked back into the kitchen.

“Is the gun in here?! Get it quick! I think he’s getting close! Oh god!” She wailed at the thought and leaned on the wall for support.

You reached into a lower cabinet and grabbed a frying pan. You spun around and hit her in the head with it. She screamed and fell to the floor, blood now pouring from her head. You groan and hit her again, knocking her out.

Bubba burst through the door in a panic, he didn’t want you to get hurt because of his mistake! But lowered his weapon when seeing you washing off a bloody pan in the kitchen sink, and the girl he was chasing passed out on the floor. He turned his chainsaw off and placed it down, running over to you. He worriedly checked you for injuries.

“I’m fine, sweetheart. Do you mind putting her in the freezer for me, dear?” You kiss the side of his masked face and he happily squeals and hurries to help you.

He opens the freezer and drops the girl in, returning back to you. You place the pan on the counter to dry then feel arms wrap around your torso. With your back to his chest, you reach up and pat his head lovingly.

“Thank you, love.” You get out of his grasp and turn to face him, then hug his snuggly chest.

He grips your thighs and lifts you up. You remain in your elevated hug until Drayton comes in yelling, which didn’t take too long.

Thomas

•The poor boy flinched at first, being so used to getting hit… You internally winced at this, it broke your heart. You slowly eased him into physical affection, not wanting to overwhelm him. It started with small touches, then hand holding, hugging, and so on. The first time you gave him a successful head pat he leaned into your touch, craving more.

You hang up the newly washed shirt on the clothesline, it was your job in the Hewitt household. You leaned down and grabbed more wet laundry. Moments after Luda Mae stepped outside the house.

“Dinner time, darlin!” Then she made her way back inside.

You wipe the sweat off your brow and pat your hands to your pants, drying them off. You walk up the stairs and open the front door. You skip into the kitchen and see Luda Mae placing food down.

“Could you grab some things for the table?” She asked as she checked the stove.

Without another word you open the cabinet. There were already plates, all the table needed was cups. You sigh, the cups are on the top shelf. You couldn’t reach, anytime you wanted a cup you had to climb on the counter, and that’s just what you did.

You took your shoes off and hopped on the counter, you stood and opened the cabinets. You gasp when you feel a pair of large hands gripping your waist. Tommy placed you on his shoulder so you could reach. You giggled and grabbed what you needed.

He set you down carefully and you placed all the cups down. You walked back over to him and gently grasped his hands. You pulled them to your face and left a kiss. Even through the mask you could see him blushing.

Then you did something unexpected, you jumped on him, like, launched yourself at him. He was startled at first, but when you practically climbed up him, he settled down. He wrapped his arms around you so you wouldn’t fall. You lean in and pepper his face with kisses, and pet his head lovingly.

“Thank you, sweetheart.” You coo at your now very flustered lover.

“Oh for fucks sake-“ Hoyt moaned, but got a swift hit from Luda Mae, who was enjoying seeing her son in love.

[perelka-l]

(Drayton really calls Hassel danna??!) hey I've been wondering, besides the Kitakami siblings do you have any other Drayton ships particularly at the forefront of your thots recently? Like for me, I'm thinking of an AU where Drayton graduates (lol) and while interning under Raihan they naturally start hooking up. Or maybe while in Galar he also dates Bea who sorta reminds him of Kieran bc of her love of sweets and hardworking discipline.

And actually, while I'm asking, any other Kieran ships too?

YEAH!!!! (I am a bit sad this didn't carry over to eng version... He's calling him master Hassel in my heart ;w;)

On a Drayton shippy note, let's start with that: bratty Drayton/trying to resist good teacher Hassel? But both are Dragons and Hassel kind of gives into his instincts and get to teach Drayton a lesson to not do it again (Drayton is a very bad student though and an even worse dragon).

(Drayton graduating sure is an AU xD)

Aside from Kitakami students, I like to consider that Drayton absolutely has a Thing for cute freshmen and such case is Crispin who, and that's a Drayster take, is a perfect wife material. Attentive, will cook for you, is a cute shota, what more can a guy want from life? (It's not very serious of a relationship but Drayton deeply appreciates he can just swoop in and demand comfort and get some in an instant, 10/10, Crispin would be a perfect wife.)

Back home, there is ofc Iris for sweet sweet incestuous angst plus I think they would be really cute together. Drayton definitely has plenty of unsatisfied big bro instincts (Kyoodaaaaii) so there is that.

And yeah, I did mention his massive grandpa issues. Like, you can't look me in the face and tell me he wouldn't jump Drayden given a glimpse of a chance. Like, Drayden is a hot gilf and I bet that bisexual awakening for Drayster has arrived pretty much the second he looked at his grandfather the moment he started to feel any sort of attraction. He has issues. He just wants to bury his head in those giant packs and get hugged by those strong arms (like he surely saw Drayden carry dragons arround, that would make any sane person salivate), he doesn't have normal issues, he has grandfather issues. (This one is heavily impacted by a series of comics from JP twitter on which younger Drayton sleeps around with older white-haired man and doesn't care about who they are and where they come from - if that's not Drayden, he really doesn't care.)

On that note, he'd Pay Attention around Drake (muscular dragon gilf with admirable facial hair and sweet bonus of having his tits out? Bruh.)

One more that comes to my mind is him and Benga. I feel like they are of at least similar age, so they could be buds when teens and before Drayton went to BB... I deeply enjoy the thought that they could so contrast in undertaken paths! Drayton is a slacker and went as far as he could (namely, BB Championship) and just left it at that, he's in his comfort spot. Benga always aims to go higher, to become better, things like championship of little to no meaning to him. At the same time, they have such nice contrasting visuals, Benga feeling more natural, more attuned to nature (he carries stuff to make fire on his back gdi) while Drayton is more modern. Kind of a theming matching to Unova lads, plus Benga has some Dragon theming surrounding him, he pretty much only has (and gives out) dragons when you ignore his Volcarona lol

In terms of Kieran... Crispin also comes to mind, it's the shota magic~ Plus they are classmates, so I feel like they could have plnty of excuses to come close.

Tbh nothing else comes to my mind, I blame that entirely on Drayton being a whore lol

#answers #anon #anonymous #umm do itag #aw heck lessgo #trainer drayton #elite four drayton #raihan also sounds nice......... /fujo trash sowwy #nothing else comes to my brain atm maybe ther eis more but i dont remember now hh

Digimon Tamers: Runaway Locomon

Wow, I completely skipped over this movie by mistake. It just totally slipped my mind! I was glad to get a chance to revisit my Tamers friends. Too bad this short film was pretty lack luster. I enjoyed it for the animation at least. Seeing Terriermon and Lopmon interact soothes my soul.

Notes:

This was more like an OVA than a movie since it was only 30 minutes long. The animation quality wasn't that different from the show, the characters were just a little shinier haha

Terriermon and Lopmon are seen flying with airplane-like ears in this. Were they always able to do that?? What the heck.

I feel so bad for Juri, after all she went through in the main series now she only shows up in the credits? It's like now that she doesn't have a digimon partner she's worthless or something

Parasimon was disgusting with his bulging, droopy eye and the way he exploded when attacked, blech. Very creepy baddie

Best scene was Terriermon pouting because Jian mixed him up with Lopmon lol. Too cute

Apparently Ruki hates singing because she associates it with her dad? Is he a deadbeat or dead? I forget the lore. Either way it's giving "Singing killed my grandma, okay!?"

Kinda felt like this whole movie was an excuse to sell Ruki's hot new single lmao

So it's apparent that this has to take place after the main series for many reasons, but it feels weird that the digimon are just back in the real world? They gave some big speech about how they couldn't stay but now everything's fine? What changed?

It felt a little bit like Ruki reverted to her old personality in this. Maybe her birthday just awakens complicated feelings.

Did we really need the Sakuyamon boob jiggle? Ruki's in there gdi!

Yeah, IDK. This was kind of a nothing burger. It might have been better if it was longer and they had more time to build the tension and stakes. It also might have been interesting to see other tamers being affected by Parasimon. 5 out of 10

[vypridae]

anyways anyways what i was originally gonna say was

awhile ago i think over the summer i was gonna write a fluff fic centered around a bunch of bsd characters going to an amusement park. never finished it but i started thinking about siglai in an amusement park

like nikolai is the one tk drag sigma on all the big rides but at the same time he’s not thoroughly prepared for them so he passes out halfway, scaring the living fuck out of sigma in the process, gets up before the ride ends and starts cheering about how fun it was [despite passing out majority of the ride] once they’re off. he doenst pass out each time but enough times to make sigma concerned as to whether he should be on them in the first place

nikolai is also insanely competitive for the little boardwalk games, since they’re rigged he usually doesn’t win though, sometimes he’ll open a portal unless sigma convinced him not to

probably to end the day they go on the ferris wheel as well since nikolai remembers sigma loves high places and the look of awe on his face when they’re at the top is too cute to pass up on

they both have fun trying the weird little food things available at the stands and such

yes YES YES OH YB DO YEHS. OH MY GDI. OH MY GDO !!!!!! /POS

nikolai passing out enough times that they end up going to a food place to get like, water or snacks or something before they continue and sigma is like "are you sure you want to keep going on these... you keep pasing out" and nikolia is like "ITS FIIINE!"

ALSO THOSE LITTLE GAMES... nikolai would spend like all of his tickets on one and then have to go buy more tickets. theres one that sigma really wants the prize in and nikolai is like "ill WIN IT FOR HIM" and then. Doesnt. so both of them are disappointed until nikolai looks at sigma and grabs something rrom his overcoat and ITS THE PRIZE SIGMA WANTED... he stole it ... but sigma decides just this one time that he can let that go bc he reeeally wanted it and who is he to turn down a gift? esp from nikolai?

ALSO USUAUGHHJJMB... THEM KN THE FERRIS WHEEL.... nikolai sees sigmas face when they hit the top and hes soo infatuated with the way sigma smiles, looking out at the rest of the park, aauauughhgkgihvmb,.mkbjkbm,b them.......

also. how much money do you think nikolai would waste on elephant ears. i think he's try to eat sooo many and then he gets so sick they have to leave 😭😭

#ive eaten a whole elephant ear one (1) time and it made me feel sick so nikolai eating like three #hed be acutally dying #xanbox #siglai #bsd

Last Twilight ภาพนายไม่เคยลืม Ep 5

I love Phawjai so much

Phawjai ilu but body spray and perfume aren't the same

[a-ticklish-banshee]

A/N: My hand slipped.... Again. Sgjsffsv I couldn't help myself, he's too cute, gdi. HE RIDES A TRIKE FFS. MDNI. My fluff is not for you.

Copia tickle headcanons

-Ridiculously ticklish. Like, just wiggling your fingers at him makes him blush, nervously fidget, and maybe an anxious giggle or two.

-His rats are constantly climbing down his cassock, if in uniform or down his shirt, in casual clothing. He's forced to just sit there and take it, while trying to remove one of his babies.

-Speaking of rats, he definitely squeaks like one, when the right tickle spot is hit.

-Being the youngest brother, made him a target of pranks, fuckery and tickle attacks. Secondo and Terzo used to tag team him when they were younger, leading Primo to often have to step in, before they accidentally killed him.

-Primo was not above- and still isn't above- launching his own tickle attacks on his poor, younger bro. He was just a little nicer lol.

-Copia's worst spot is his belly, hands down. But his thighs are also a sweet spot. He gets so giggly, when someone pinches his sides too.

-Terzo is an ass of an older brother and still teases him about being a walking tickle spot.

-He'll squeal if one of his rats sniffs at his ears.

-A lot of the sisters of sin can't help but boop his belly or outright wreck his shit, even after he's named Papa.

-His ghouls are no better. Cirrus loves seeing him smile, so she gets him quite often. Sunshine is a menace too.

-The ghoulettes sometimes gang up on him. Especially if he's stressed and anxious.

-They'll tickle him before rituals too. It actually helped calm his nerves before he took the stage for the first time.

-If Swiss is not watched during bows, he can and will get that belly. Mountain has to usually block his silly ass lol.

-Swiss is a menace too. It doesn't help that he playfully flirts with Copia on occasion when he tickles him, leading to Copia.exe has stopped working.

-Due to keeping late hours, as The Ministry's treasurer, Copia often doesn't sleep until later and subsequently, wakes up later in the day. One time, during Secondo's papacy, Copia was in bed until one in the afternoon. That is until Secondo marched into his room, and had the poor guy in sleepy, confused hysterics within moments.

-Saying his name in that tone, gives him all sorts of panic.

-Can't handle anticipation of any kind, leading him to tell whoever is about to tickle him, to just do it. This got him in so much shit with Secondo, when they were younger.

-Gets so flustered when given teasy nicknames or just teased in general. His face turns red as his cassock lol.

re: Primarch Auras

there are an infinite number of attempts at this post in my drafts rn because i'm too busy to write a dang jpeg so here's my best attempt at bullet-pointing it

i've posted basically all of these thoughts to some extent in disarray over the years on this blog but i recently got tagged on a question about primarch aura effects by @/betterandbetterme, so i decided to make a post about it, so "ah yes, primarch auras" is not an XKCD 2501 - Average Familiarity moment

and then it took me a week+ because life things came up (good life things! timed creative projects and a new ttrpg campaign in a new system) to make the post. whoops

anyway, here's what we know and how I interpret it:

Primarchs have an "aura effect" that causes people to consider them great and glorious and superior and holy and extremely impressive.

This, I argue, is not a natural effect of them being so Large or anything, but in fact I think it is a subconscious psychic effect.

This is in line with previous thoughts shared onto this blog, like the daemons in giftwrap interpretation (link) (and I will quote at some point the specific bit in Reflection Crack'd that I take as canonical acknowledgement of this gdi) (but tl;dr there's probably a reason it's so easy to turn Primarchs into daemons, right?)

A reason why I think they're unnatural depends heavily on the Emperor, who has a similar, if stronger, aura, that is in fact part of his illusory Situation that blanks can see through (Lexicanum link)

(which would make these a sort of metaphysical extension of Lorgar looking like the Emperor. is this cute? you decide)

Another reason is just how dramatic their effect is - here's Vulkan sedating just, like, a random woman who doesn't know what he is. for context in the novel, it hasn't been revealed yet but Vulkan and his men have just killed that woman's protectors and she's freaking out about that (through a language barrier). there's equal examples interspersed throughout the novels

I don't think most primarchs are conscious that they have this effect/power at all because it fully acts subconsciously - compare how Mortarion sublimates his psychic potential out of dislike for psykers, if you wanna. there's precedent

a lot of Primarchs with pretty strong aura effects also show / showed either psychic powers or the potential for them - I would nominate Sanguinius and Lorgar as examples of this

(you can probably argue for Magnus having realized what's going on and controlling it directly, given how powerful he is and how extremely Supernatural he presents, but this would be an entire Point you'd be making about Magnus's personality and powerset and it's been a minute since i've read stuff with him in it, so i won't make it myself)

compare that, for example, with (psychic-wise) extremely mundane normies 30k!Guilliman or Ferrus, who people still basically worshiped at the feet of but that people found easier to point out were somehow less Glorious-Looking, so to speak, than some of their more shiny siblings - 40k!Guilliman has the advantage of the Imperium worshiping him as nearly a living god, so people are more predisposed to look up to him as holy

speaking of which, people can become, like. resistant? to this response by a variety of reasons - see: Tarasha Euten being Guilliman's mom, Sulymanya being an atheist, people who saw the uglier side of Fulgrim in Palatine Phoenix, or Riordan, the medicae who gave such few fucks that after 3 days straight helping patients not die of radiation poisoning he fell asleep standing up in front of Ferrus Manus, for example (also this moment and this moment)

(note all of these examples being mortals, roflmao)

(though when talking abt this a while ago @/horuslupercal brought up how Abaddon used to get into shouting matches with Horus, so, shrug emoji)

Primarily the way to become immunized is to see the Primarchs as people - the aura effect situation going on can't make you only feel positive about a person, it just twists the feelings you already have in the Primarch's advantage, sorta, and then the pedestals the Primarchs carry themselves on, and the supernatural deeds they're able to carry out, do the rest of the work

another thing brought up by @/horuslupercal is Angron's aura not really working, quote him "and I would wager it's ESP bc the nails mesh so poorly with the warp and psykers"

tl;dr: ???????????

primarchs are so fucking full of warp yum
