Hey! Sure I can!

Graves’ and Nikolai’s S/O Gets Hurt Because of Their job

Graves: On the outside he may seem calm and collected, but on the inside he’d be seething with rage. However, he won’t show you how angry he actually is, keeping it all to himself instead. He needs to be the big, strong man in your relationship, so he needs to keep his cool in front of you, no matter what. I don’t think he’d be too surprised you’d have gotten hurt, though. While he may have hoped it would never happen, that was just wishful thinking. You’ll either be on Shadow Company’s medbay or in the best hospital he can find nearby. Either way, you’ll be well taken care of. If you’re at Shadow Company, then he’ll station some of his most competent and trusted people to take care of you for the time being. You will be protected by them, and you will get whatever it is you may need from them as well. Or anything you may want, really. No cost is too high for Graves while you’re in recovery. While he may try to make time for you as well, he really does, he will also have someone track down whoever hurt you. This person will then be abducted to Shadow Company for a rough time. Graves himself would take care of them, and he can be pretty effective when he wants to be. However, if you’ve recovered by then, and are among the more vengeful people, then you’re more than welcome to do as you please with the bastard yourself, Graves has no qualms about that. In fact, he’d welcome you doing what you need to do. An eye for an eye. I think he’d become a bit more protective of you afterwards. If you’re okay with it, then he’ll leave you in the hands of some of his Shadows since he can’t always be there for you. If it was up to him, he’d combine you with his work and have you just live on base with him so he could always keep an eye on you, but you likely wouldn’t agree to that. It may seem a bit overbearing, but he will reach out to you more often and does expect you to respond within a few hours, or else he’ll get worried and send someone to check up on you, even if you’re alright.

Nikolai: While Graves may be furious, Nikolai is entirely calm about all of this. Yes, you got hurt, but seeing him panic would likely only worsen the state you’re in. He is well aware of the fact that you will pull through, he made sure of that himself. However, he won’t do anything drastic until you’ve recovered completely. That way your perpetrator has enough time to kill themself before he has to take action. Naturally, you mean the world to him, so any violence against you will not be excused. Nikolai runs a PMC, so he knows what he’s doing, he knows how to deal with violence. Violence for violence is the rule of the beasts and Nikolai’s cruelty is akin to that of a starved animal. However, that can wait until you’re alright again. He’ll visit you every day, even stay at the hospital, and bring you gifts, tell you stories and keep you company otherwise. But he won’t mention the plans he has for the sorry fuck who hurt you, those are for him to know and for you to never find out. Once you’re home again, going about your day, he will seek out the bastard himself and drag him to some place in Siberia. As mentioned before, Nikolai can be cruel when he wants to be, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he let that person run aimlessly around Siberia for a few days, hunted down by him and his people, only to capture and torture them later. Death is a kind of mercy that is not for them, though, so he’ll keep them alive for the time being. They almost took you from him, there’s nothing they could ever do to make up for that. They’ll be a new chewing toy for Chimera until they die for one reason or another. Nikolai won’t get too overprotective, but he will be keeping a closer eye on you. He won’t station one of his people in front of your home when he’s away, but he will try to make more time for you. Calls become more frequent and he will try to find some excuses to spend more time with you, even if it’s just by video chatting with you when you have the time. He won’t freak out, but he won’t forget about that incident either.

#cod #cod x reader #phillip graves #phillip graves x reader #cod nikolai #cod nikolai x reader #I was thinking about wanting a request for Graves again not too long ago so this came at an ideal time #they're both very powerful people who are also war criminals and not afraid of breaking every law in existence #so yeah they'll have their fun with whoever hurt you #thinking about an angry Nikolai scares me so bad actually. he'd be so calm and quiet and that's just the most terrifying thing to me #if you're in an especially bad condition then I think Graves would become more strict with his Shadows #he knows he shouldn't be like that at work but he can't help it since he's just that worried about you #he's usually a fun and caring boss but he'd become very different when you get hurt #of course he'll go back to normal once everything is alright again but you being hurt would hit the Shadows pretty hard as well #I like to think he does talk about you to his Shadows so they definitely know who you are #and just by hearing about you most of them would like you as well. especially because Graves loves you this much and they like him a lot #so I think a lot of Shadows would also grow protective over you and I think that's so very sweet #I always liked to think that the people at Shadow Company were very close with each other #especially because Graves is a good boss and makes sure the work climate there is ideal. despite the war crimes #Graves is actually a pretty fly guy in my eyes. he's just cocky but he does worry a lot about his Shadows and you deep down #he loves his Shadows and he loves you too

Happy Birthday to the loveliest of friends, @snoobins <3

Twin stars

A universe apart

Just close enough

To wistfully gaze at the other

Knowing yet not

How fate will lead them together

#happy birthday!! #I hope you have a great day #and spoil yourself to the fullest extent with whatever you like! #I wrote the poem first actually #then I wanted to translate that someway into art #and decided I would make something with two stars far apart #and two flowers close together #to symbolize how we once didn’t know one another at all #but now we're growing alongside one another #bathing in the light of how we admired one another #even before we became good friends #I really hope you like it!! #this isn't all I have for you though! #<3 <3 <3 #I hope you're feeling every bit as loved and appreciated as you are! #I'm so grateful we're here again at another milestone for our friendship #This year I know you'll do even greater things than the last! #just being you will always be something worth celebrating #<3 #i love you so so so much #ps you're the yellow flower (:

For real, I am obsessed with 'Everything', it's so freaking good!!! You captured Ares exactly how I see him, for real. I am in love with your story

I'm so glad y'all are enjoying Everything! At first I was worried people wouldn't really like a somewhat softer Ares but thankfully y'all are rocking with it. I just love a version of Ares that's not just "I'm angry and I hate my kids". Yeah, he represents the violence of war but... like... someone has to? Idk. I like fleshing him out and still giving him a little temper and making him snarky but giving hints he definitely cares for his children. My plan as of right now is to finish up the requests I have for MK1 then get on Everything part 3 where we'll see things from his POV (at least that's the plan rn. idk if I'll get another idea)

Thanks so much for your kind messages. Y'all have no idea how much they mean to me. I've definitely gushed about them with my best friends 😭😭. I'm actually writing this after waking up so you've made my day already! I actually love writing and knowing people are rocking with it means a lot.

Let me close this off so I can stop yapping. Don't do drugs, drink lots of water, hug a loved one (or don't. I don't like physical touch either. a high five works), stay safe and know I love you bread slices 🥐

Okay, I was doing the horror movie oc tag game for Grandpa and then saw there was a cowboy one, so I had to dress myself as a cowboy. If I weren't a ghost, I'd be yee-hawing everywhere.

Unfortunately, there aren't any masc or nb options in this one, but here's the link.

#rambling into the void #oh to be a cowboy #ghost plays dress up games #little ghost on the prairie #my hair's not anywhere close to that long anymore #but it'll be nice to braid it again once it does grow out again #ghost cowboy???

Mia Winters 🤝 Ashley Graham

Being too amazing for people to comprehend.

:)

maybe some people...but the real ones get it.

genuinely it's so wild to me as someone who got into resident evil without ever really being exposed to the fandom beforehand and watched playthroughs/learned stuff while very isolated from it and am Just Now getting into the fandom and fan-content to see how like. widely hated they are? because, what, they don't like ashley's game mechanic and a bunch of people can't seem to comprehend the way the ethan is molded and mia knew reveal is supposed to totally recontextualize what we see of her behavior in village? um....okay lol.

and here is where i started typing out an entire rant about why it makes zero sense to me that people hate on mia so much despite the fact that she is pointedly not written as the villain of the games and ethan clearly loves her a lot and she clearly loves him a lot, but then backspaced it all because actually if i go down that road i will never stop. one day i'll do an art stream again where i just sit and rant for 2 hours about it. just know: i think about this so much and it makes absolutely Zero sense to me why people hate mia when she's such an easy to understand and CLEARLY sympathetically written character. RRRRR.

and then ppl who hate ashley bc she's "whiny" and "helpless" ok well what would YOU be doing if you had been kidnapped, infected with a parasite in an incredibly violating way, were essentially a ticking time bomb, and had no training in weapons or defense to deal with this shit MUCH LESS while in a totally different country. um. i think you would be begging for help too. and half the battle is just her game mechanic it's not like it's her fault jfc.

#answered asks #precambrian-sea-pancake #ONCE AGAIN i say hm isnt it funny how people seem to love ada but hate mia when they share MANY similar characteristics #(questionable backgrounds of working for mercenary groups; have hurt people; betrayed the trust of those close to them; committed #(lite) atrocities etc etc) #and yet mia is the one who has shown consistent regret for her actions and worked to change and she isnt perfect FUCKING DUHHHH no one is. #esp no one in resident evil YOU KNOW IM RIGHT ABOUT THIS! #but adas just fine going on exactly the way she is but mia has shown remorse and worked to change and leave that life behind #so really who is a 'better' character here #<- trick question i love them both ada is fun being morally bankrupt and mia is fun being a character who grows #you thought i was pitting women against each other didnt you! you thought i would make two bad bitches fight! #okay sorry i got away from myseslf here ive been watching too many snap cube streams #my point being. mia and ashley are literally fine. i cant speak to ashleys character writing esp with the remake not out yet #but mia despite the disaster that was villages writing at times. is a GREAT and SYMPATHETIC character who is clearly not the villain #u guys just hate women idk #sorry tumblr user precambrian-sea-pancake i have just gone on such a tangent which is just directed at the empty pews of a church #i will get off my soapbox now

[padfootastic]

J/egulus’s dynamic is very funny for me if they both just hate each other, and for the exact same reason: they both despise that Sirius loves this other person so much. Sirius loves his little brother, and James hates that Regulus can hurt Sirius so easily, and that Regulus has the audacity to think that Sirius doesn’t adore him; James knows what path Regulus is headed on but so does Sirius, and it hurts James to watch Sirius get his heart broken as time goes on and Regulus gets in deeper and deeper with the Death Eaters. Regulus hates James for taking his brother away and making Sirius quit loving him, Sirius would’ve gone to Slytherin if not for him and Sirius would still be at home. It’s very interesting to me if James and Regulus utterly despise each other, and the root of this is Sirius and their contradicting views of who Sirius is

no but i think about this way too often for someone who doesn’t rly give a shit about reg and is mostly indifferent or annoyed by him. i’m so much more interested by james and regulus’ dynamic the way you described—there’s a lot of potential for angst, as well as a toxic relationship sort of a deal, ykno?

i do wonder how they navigate it. tbh. because i’m me, i think james’ reasons are much more valid (logically/morally speaking) but ofc, from an emotional standpoint, u can’t negate reg either. and that’s tough, right, because both of them firmly believe they’re in the right. james has the added complication of having to navigate complicated blood-familial ties whereas reg has to come to terms with the fact that chosen family is just as (if not more) important for sirius and he has to both acknowledge and accept them before doing anything else.

sirius is just so—central to both of their lives and identities? and the way they perceive him is so different that they might never reconcile it, ykno? and idk, i feel like in a canon universe, they might just go their whole lives being quietly disdainful but tolerant of each others presence, only so they do not hurt sirius. and i’m sure that peace is hard won—there would’ve been times when they came to blows (or wands?) and both of them had to be on the other of an angry/disappointed sirius and they realised, quick, that they’d rather shut up and deal with it than go through that again.

of course, the only time they manage to put their dislike away is when someone/thing is threatening sirius and they realise he’s more important than their feelings. but that’s a given.

#james potter #sirius black #regulus black #i think that last point—we’ve talked about it before yeah? #i’m pretty sure i got an ask like that #around the black family speculations time #it’s just—fascinating how sirius evokes these kind of protective intense feelings from both r and j #but on completely different ends of the spectrum #james comes from a protector angle—he wants to keep sirius shielded from undesirable hurtful elements #whereas reg is more selfish—bc this is his big brother and he’s the protected and he wants that again #and he probably doesn’t realise. for a long time. that the real enemy is their parents and family not sirius #(and i can see like. maybe. an older reg who’s gone thru shit and had to grow up realising this #and maybe even thanking james/apologising to him in a very stilted sort of a way #for looking out for sirius) #but that’s a bit far fetched and depends on ur conception of reg i think #also interesting to think about is where sirius falls in the middle of this dynamic #is he aware? does he turn a blind eye? does he threaten both of them? is he secretly touched? #personally i think he doesn’t realise the extent of animosity #and considers the matter closed once he confronts both of them #and i don’t think he ever quite realise the depth of devotion he inspires in both of them #bc that would realise him to have a strong firm hold on his own self worth #which we know is decimated by the conditional love of the blacks #but that’s another tangent lol #pen’s asks

its literally so insane that my brother has like parents who arent young like thats insane... they were 34 when they had him... they were 20 when they had me which like isnt Insanely young but its still young yk. young enough that ppl r like Omg yr parents r so young ! when i say how old they are... but theyre gonna be 40 next year WHICH IS CRAZY. 40 year old parents hes like a kid from a disney channel show.

while im in an oversharing mood last time my baby cousin was over I heard a phrase yelled at her from upstairs and I haven't had that level of a panic attack start to set in as quick as it did since I was in school!

People who know know. My breathing was fucked and I dipped in my parents room and no amount of telling myself to get a fucking hold of us was working B)

#i got a distraction enough but I was on edge for a while after that bc it really was just like I got put back into little mes shoes and we #were being yelled at again for not reacting perfectly like how people wanted #At the time of yelling for my baby cousin the mindset I was having could have been comparable 2 when id be locked in my room or sent away #and screaming I was sorry for whatever wasn't being talked over and I would be ignored until I calmed down #once I was throwing literally throwinf written apologies and sobbing and being continually ignored bc I acted out poorly #younger me had. he had a lot of big boy emotions as a little kid and no one dealt with it right you know? it wasn't my fault but I was lead #to it. bc I was being a brat. always always a brat. #I would get told that through closed teeth and being grabbed hard by my mom usually a lot growing up #fun fact though the way I apologize now and how I handle upsetting people is directly bc I was severely ignored in childhood! No I don't do #well with conflict thanks for noticing #I do really bad with it. I had a thing happen with a friend once and I spent hours screaming and belittling myself bc I was convinced I was #the bad guy and fucked up another good thing (bc I was led 2 feed that thought pattern early) and I convinced myself I wasn't good for him #it got solved fine but I was NOT nice to myself at all

While I usually headcanon that Shay kept visiting the Finnegans from time to time ( because it makes absolutely no sense that he would just disappear from their lives after what they did for him) he started limiting his visits when he realized that his presence in their lives was just going to put them in danger. The Assassins and their gangs might be losing control over New York, but Shay has got enemies everywhere, and he just doesn’t want to risk their safety.

I also hc that it was Shay to confirm the news of Monro’s death ( because there were speculations about the Colonel’s death but nothing was certain and since he literally died in Shay’s arms he would know if he’s alive or not rip) and after he delivered them the tragic news, he bid them farewell. 

He still kept an eye on them though, but much more subtly.

#☩ HEADCANON / It doesn’t matter how history remembers me. #Shay holds them dearly in his heart #they saved him ( although upon Monro's orders; but they still could have refused tbh ) #and he really owes them a lot #but he doesn't want them to grow too attached to him #( and him to them tbh ) #because again Shay's life is very dangerous and growing close to someone means placing them in danger as well #and honestly? Cassidy and Barry truly deserve peace and happiness in their life #Shay also started limiting his visits when he noticed that they started treating him like a son #not that he doesn't apprecciate their fondness; quite the contrary #but he's literally wearing their /deceased/ son clothing so the idea of somewhat taking his place #feels disrespectful to him? tho he's sure they didn't do that on purpose #but you see a man around your son's age in your son's clothing and won't at least think once that he looks like him?) #regarding that I will also never forget Barry's face when Shay first showed up to them in their son's clothing #he looked so sad :( and rightfully so tbh- #death mention tw/ #RE: CASSIDY AND BARRY FINNEGAN

Neat idea: Sam grows plants accidentally, they just grow around him but people usually don't notice. They take time, but usually where he sleeps there's some little greenery coming up, and where he studies, or researches. His favorite spots have little plants coming up, but Sam is always the last to notice. Majority of them have healing properties but sometimes they're poisonous, very rarely though. Whenever someone's growing a plant they thrive around Sam, and people make comments here and there but no one fully recognizes how plants interact with Sam. It's subtle enough that people just forget. And Sam's just clueless about it all together.

#This is loosely based off my experience with plants #There's been times where plants grow on the inside of my window seal but only when my bed is close to it #My sisters had their plants there for a while and they were thriving until they moved them #And when they put the plants there again they didn't grow the same way despite them being the same kind of plant as before #I just didn't sleep there anymore #It's interesting to say the least #But this fits Sam so well #Bobby noticed it when he was a kid because random plants would grow but only when Sam was around #John noticed it in the impala so did Dean but they never pieced it together that it was because of Sam #Jessica noticed but Sam had no clue what she was talking about #Castiel knows but thinks Sam knows so they never bring it up #Eileen asked about it once or twice #Kevin was the only one who muttered about Sam's plants confused where they come from #Rowena knew and was amused by Sam's natural gifts that just went unnoticed by him all the time #I really like this idea
