Hello!! I’d like to request a bunny S/O with Ticci Toby,Ej,Masky,Hoodie,Jeff The killer like the S/O has like bunny ears and a bunny tail?
Their fragile and small and sweet and soft.
Awww little bunny creep! I actually have a pet bunny, but she is very sassy 💀
Thank you so much for requesting!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ticci Toby
Tumblr media
Your sweet and quiet personality is very nice for Toby
He loooves people with softer voices and personalities, as he can respond pretty negatively to louder things due to his ptsd
Also, you being more on the calm side kind of mellows him out
Toby is very influenced by his surroundings, pretty much just morphing his personality to better suit the situation
So being around you makes him calmer, and quieter
That being said, most of the time when you guys hang out you are cuddling close to each other and sleeping
You being rather easy to spook due to you being partly bunny, prefer to have him hold you so you know you're safe
And he couldn't be happier to do so
He will wrap you up in his arms and bury his face into your soft ears, giving them a little kiss as he drifts off into sleep
Occasionally, you will pick up on a noise such as footsteps or talking, making you wake up and look around anxiously
Toby will sleepily pull you back into his chest after you've scanned for danger and whisper to you how you don't have to be so vigilant, because he's there for you
He always keeps headphones on him as well, partly to play his music but mostly for when you are in public spaces and it gets too loud for your ears
They don't fit too good, but they are better than nothing
He will also rub your ears whenever you get worked up, telling you to just relax and breathe
It is very calming for both you and him <3
Eyeless Jack
Tumblr media
You actually share a lot of similarities with him!
This makes you ten times closer with each other
You are both sensitive to noise, you are both very quiet and stick to yourselves, you both have very soft hair (or in your case, fur), etc
Even your differences are cute in a way
He is a carnivore, and you are a herbivore
You tend to get very nervous and shy around people, he is more so just quiet and reserved
Honestly you two are the most precious together ugh <33
With his sharp claws, he is able to get through your thick fur and give you wonderful scratches behind your ears, on your head, etc
And with your soft hands and gentle mannerisms, you are able to give him little mini massages, even with his overly sensitive skin
You spend a lot of time reading together, and occasionally you go on cute little picnic dates
You lay down a blanket in the manor's large ethereal garden, and talk about anything that comes to mind while you eat
Jack often doesn't eat around you, as the smell of meat can make your stomach turn and make you very nauseous, but he might eat a light snack while you eat your salads and chips
You are often seen together, since you understand each other so well and are so close, theres no one else you guys would rather hangout with!
Masky
Tumblr media
He thinks that you are so adorable
You are complete polar opposites
He's a "man's man" and you're soft and sweet and shy
He adores your differences, though
However, this being said he feels a need to protect you if that makes sense
In his brain, you just seem so vulnerable and he doesn't want anyone taking advantage of that
Wether you let him "protect" you though, is up to you
If you don't want him to be so protective, either tell him that or show him that with your body language and he'll back off
But if you don't mind or prefer him to be protective towards you, expect him to always be near you, to always make you wear at least something of his (usually a jacket), and to be pushed away from the less....sane creeps (cough cough JEFF)
He loves to rub his face on your soft ears
Which can sometimes hurt, because he has a rather stubbly face
If you want him to stop though, he'll stop
He often has you with him or near him due to his overprotectiveness
So expect to be sitting in his lap or feeling his hands on your shoulders as he stands behind you
Hoodie
Tumblr media
He is a very excitable, energetic person so like some other creeps on this list, you are kind of opposites
But also like the other creeps, these opposite factors in your personalities kind of make it work instead of put strain on the relationship
However, he has his moments where all he wants to do is be calm, and sit down in a warm blanket with your head on his shoulder, just enjoying each other's presence while you watch t.v
So if you want one of those moments with him, really all you have to do is ask and he will oblige
The other guys on this list like your ears, but Brian likes your tail
He likes to sneak up behind you and lightly grab on it with a high pitched "boop!"
It makes him laugh to see you get all flustered and embarrassed
He doesn't do that often though, so you don't have to worry about it getting annoying or uncomfortable
He isn't super protective of you like Tim, he's more so....observant if that makes sense??
Like he won't go out of his way to make sure you're with him all day everyday but say if you were in a public area and he notices you're getting restless, he'll ask you about it and what he can do to help
He is obsessed with how your wiggle your nose
Sometimes he'll just stare at it, and when you catch him, he'll grin and wiggle his own nose at you, making you roll your eyes and smile
Occasionally, he will press your noses together in a kunik after watching you wiggle your nose for a while, and he will continue to rub his nose against yours until he gets at least a giggle out of you, to which he will then pull away and peck your nose affectionatley
Jeff The Killer
Tumblr media
Him being a very crass and blunt dude he's gonna mess with you at least a little bit
It's also kind of his love language
He just likes fucking with people idk man
Expect him to spook you, grab your tail with a firm grip, boop your nose when you're busy, etc
Eventually you will just get so angry and frustrated with him that you thump at him
yes, thump at him
He will be shocked by it at first, but then he'll laugh, putting his hands up defensively "Oooh. Didn't know I got'cha that mad, doll"
His smug ass will then make it his mission to make you thump much more often
Your sweet little bunny self actually being angry? That's wild to him. And he loves that angry part of you
He might be an asshole a lot of the times, but he can be sweet too
Sometimes he'll just come up behind you, putting his chin on your head and stroking your ears lovingly
He'll whisper to you how adorable you are and how much he loves you
And then he'll go about his day as if nothing happened
Such an ass, but he's your ass <33

about the anti post, tbf it wasn't in the ship tag so technically not crossing lanes but it was in the character tags and as a babs fan it can still be annoying going in her tag to see that kinda stuff esp cuz a lot of db antis are bigger dick stans and are more critical and negative towards her than him in subtle and not so subtle ways, you know?
anyway thank you for your response! it reminded me why i love their relationship so much! theres so much negativity surrounding this ship that sometimes i begin questioning myself, wondering if they're really that bad and am i missing something?? so its always reassuring seeing others who feel the way i do and view them positively :)
I hear you, it can be really hard to avoid this kind of thing, even when you're trying to stay in your lane and others are trying to stay in their lane, too. And, it really doesn't help when a lot of anti-Dick/Babs people come into our space to be jerks about it. (I don't know if it happens in reverse, I'm not in those spaces enough to tell, I can only say that I haven't seen it any time I wander outside of my corner. But if it does, that's not cool, either.)(Nor do I know the context of the post you saw, for all I know, it could have struck me totally different than it did for you.) And, yeah, honestly, there does have to be room for everyone to like and dislike their own stuff, even if that means we come across posts we find annoying and it means that we find the complaining too much to be around. We have to have a little grace for disagreements, just as people who disagree with us have to have a little grace with us. That said, you know what I find a thousand times more fulfilling? Yelling happily about what I like, because I don't want the entire experience of Thing I Like to be negative and when I see other people having fun, I want to join in on that fun, too--so, I would suggest that any time you feel frustrated by someone being a jerk, find your favorite comic moment or animated series moment or fic you enjoyed reading, and yell very loudly about how great it was and put that in the tag (both characters and ship) because then I'll see something happy when I go through the tag and it'll remind me why I love the ship, too! Or find your favorite Barbara moments and talk about her, because fandom does sometimes overshadow her and I would love to see more about her view of her life and relationships and family! And, honestly, while plenty of people have perfectly valid reasons to dislike a ship--literally ANY ship, this isn't just about Dick/Babs, but it could just as easily apply to Dick/Kory or Dick/Wally or Dick/Roy or Dinah/Babs--there's always going to be a fair amount of ship war nonsense, where criticism isn't even about what the ship is really like, just that it's not the person's OTP. And then who cares! Use that energy to make positive content for the ship because that's a better use of your time! And you deserve to have a nice experience in fandom, too. Dick/Babs is a great pairing, they're adorable and they're flirty and they love each other and they support each other and they're not afraid to have it out with each other when they need to and they just like being around each other. Whether someone OTPs it or just thinks it's fine enough/is a multishipper instead, it's totally great to enjoy a moment of theirs because they can be utterly delightful and nobody's wrong for loving them. 💕

hi, I'm not very good at thinking deeply about things, so I'll have thoughts that, base level, seem logical, but i know theres issues with it if dug deeper into (im not good at that) so im wondering if you can share your ideas and perspective on this for me? I love your posts and respect your opinion and how well youre able to explain your thoughts.
so, firstly I'm a mlm trans man. I do not have any masculine environments where I am accepted (I do not "pass"). and by masculine I mean, stereotypical fishing beer cars 3n1 masculine. I also mean the energy of being a man in the most simple of stereotypical definitions (excluding the toxicity part). I usually only get accepted socially by fem people, or other trans men who are more feminine and into things I'm not(like drag and make up etc)(WHICH IS FINE. I love that stuff I'm just not personally that interested myself.) so I'm constantly just catching everyone else's wave in order to be social. now this is all my own issue that I'll work on etc. but I can't relate to a lot of feminine things and I constantly find myself just wishing I could be surrounded by other masculine men.
I'm finally at my point I think... so the other day I quickly typed up a post before thinking about it that said "I only want to be surrounded by manly men" as a light hearted joke. I immediately deleted it before even posting it bc I realized that many people would take that the wrong way and see that as a negative thing. but then I thought "anyone of any gender could write "i only want to be surrounded by women" and no one would think twice about it." it wouldn't be nearly as offensive to most people. or wouldn't be seen as being misogynistic. i thought that was unfair bc as a trans man I'm kind of expected to reject the masculine culture and be ashamed of that aspect. because masculinity is usually tied to being toxic and abusive. i don't know if any of this makes sense. I'm really not the smartest person in the world and I have a hard time talking and using the right words so I'm sorry if I misused any terms or anything.
You're all good anon, and honestly? I can empathize with that kind of feeling a lot. I've also had a lot of times where I just... Want To Be Around Men And Love Men Because There Is A Lot Of Beauty In Maleness And Masculinity !!!!! And I also really understand that feeling of social isolation you're kind of describing where it feels like you're really only accepted by people who are more feminine in one way or another and want to be around more masculine folks.
It's definitely hard and tricky trying to express that though. I wish we lived in a perfect world where when mlm, especially trans mlm, were able to just comfortably say "I want to be surrounded by masculine men" and have all of the nuances of that just.... be understood. So many people don't want to attempt to understand our nuances though because they have no concept of what healthy manhood or masculinity can look like, so they don't understand why it would or could be desirable to us.
I really do think that we can be the change we want to see in the world though! I think as trans mlm we're in a really unique position to truly show people what it can mean like to be masculine and love masculinity in healthy and kind ways. To live authentically in that way is genuinely beautiful I think. I know it is easier said than done but if people can't understand or accept your authentic and true self? Fuck them. Like, if they are someone you care about it's always an option to try to help them understand and that sort of situation is up to you to gauge, but you owe absolutely nothing to strangers on the internet.
If someone can't understand why a trans mlm would want to be surrounded by masculinity, or if they immediately jump to the worst bad faith understanding of that desire, they are genuinely not someone worth breaking your back over. You deserve to be open about and proud of your desires anon, especially in light hearted ways like that.

various ramblings trying to type thoughts ive been having
sometimes i get the feeling that people think less of me or negatively about me due to my different brain issues like not processing and understanding things etc etc and i dont know if thats my anxiety/extremely low self esteem self worth/paranoia combined with a history of people mistreating me or if thats actually happening yknow i really dont want to assume that people dislike me ive been trying to break that pattern of thinking within myself which again comes from a life time of abuse and of people very openly disliking me so my brain goes well its always been the default that people dislike us and are angry with us. its like i know i have brain processing issues but i wish that wouldnt make people like me less or think less of me. instead of telling me that im not actually stupid id like for someone to tell me that even if i am stupid they still care about me and will have compassion for me and my mistakes. ive been thinking about something a mutual said i genuinely cant remember who said it memory issues flaring up so hi if it was you but it was like. online theres this phenomena where even peoples tiny little slip ups and in the bigger picture not that big of a deal mistakes can be documented and held against them for an eternity and that for a long time theres been a certain cultivation of behavior of like. idk what the word is i dont think hyper vigilance is the right term but the kind of mentality where if you make even one mistake you have that held over your head for years. and im realizing that i really grew up with that kind of mentality surrounding me online (and similar mentalities irl) and i think that really fed into and formed a lot of different issues i have. there was a post i rbed maybe earlier this week about not thinking that youre one slip up from your friends abandoning you and i really want to get myself to believe that but the problem is that thats genuinely happened before or thats been threatened to happen before with me and so again my brain goes well it could happen again everyone you know and love could suddenly cut you off out of nowhere with no warning or everyone you know and love is secretly talking about how awful you are. and i get scared that im somehow doing things wrong without knowing that im doing things wrong or hurting people without realizing im hurting them and lately i keep just being hit with the feeling that everything i do is wrong and that im making people angry or upset with me even when im literally not doing anything and it sucks and i wish i knew an easy way to get out of it. ive mentioned this before but when it comes to my issues like this one thing is like. i dont want people to think that im so fragile and scared that ill shatter if they come to me and talk to me saying hey rey this thing you did upset me/hurt me etc i dont want people to think that ill fall apart if im told about a mistake ive made or that ive done something wrong i want people to be able to come to me and talk with me and i always want to be able to grow and admit when im wrong and i dont want to hurt people. and then ive been thinking about how even though i have lovely friends who i cherish and appreciate and love so much i still feel so lonely and seperated from everyone who i know and love and i feel like im on the other side of a glass wall and that no one can reach me and i want to get closer to people but it always feels like i cant. but i dont want to doubt my friends love for me i dont want to doubt that i have a place in peoples lives. but its really hard. anyway its almost midnight i should sleep thanks if you read this

Tropes ask: I have my own armchair view of my proclivities but I'll submit my thoughts for peer review.
I usually like to imagine being a mini giant. In real life, I'm tall-ish and fat woman. I feel big and awkward and I get anxious about being in the way. Imagining being big means I would be, perhaps, intentionally huge. And in a more fun way. I want more affection and closeness and what better way than with someone miniature?
I saw you already wrote about size swaps but I also really like shrinking or size changes. I love to see the loss of control and approach from a (literal) new perspective.
Tumblr media
Back in Office Baby!
Alright so there are quite a few details that you included that seem significant; specification on minigiant, self perception, recontextualization, shrinking and size changing, loss of control, and perhaps an implication of loss of self.
I find it intriguing when someone has a preferred size. Sometimes its for an aesthetic component (Say for example, liking the imagery of completely someone in your hand), sometimes its to symbolize a degree of control (for example when someone is relatively smaller than an inch, theres next to no way to escape, their voice may be totally unheard, etc.. compared to a minigiant who could theoretically still be hurt physically by a skilled enough human). It may also just be for some sort of practicality in the fantasy (able to still fit in buildings or remain hidden in a forest etc..). Although these at first glance just seem like supporting elements to the overall fantasy I still think they may be able to offer insight.
As discussed in previous sessions, subconscious imagery can be a lot more prevalent than we would first think. For the example above (completely fitting someone in your hand) there could be blatant metaphorical imagery at play.
One way to analyze that is to pull at the words a little;
What do I think of when I think of ____? How would I elaborate on the action? What emotions are invoked in me? What emotions do I want invoked in the counter archetype?
When I think of hands I could think of control, but also care. They have strength in building things, but they are also how I show I care. Through soft and loving touch. I think of being careful. Nurturing.
The action part (fitting someone within my grasp) feels controlling to me. All encompassing. Making someone else vulnerable.
I might feel in control, powerful, curious, and excited. Perhaps, I want the counter archetype to feel vulnerable, uncertain, small and scared.
See how such a small image can be picked apart for some much more interesting details? If there is specific imagery associated with your liking towards minigiants, I would definitely recommend further analyzing it or submitting it for another appointment.
Moving on to self perception and recontextualization. Using your own words it seems as though your body leads to some feelings of anxiety. I'd like to make specific note of some word choice; big, awkward, fat, in the way... all of these words have implications of being easily perceived/noticeable. You cite some negative emotions surrounding this perception. Perhaps some degree of social anxiety or insecurity. Where this becomes very interesting is in the recontextualization in the form of a minigiant fantasy.
At first glance this fantasy might not seem to make sense, given it could be considered the magnification of those aforementioned traits, as well as the novelty of a minigiant would certainly increase how much one is perceived by others. However, it seems like consciously or not, there has been some reframing on possible insecurities (not necessarily implying insecurities of the traits themselves but what they seem to suggest as a whole; anxiety of being perceived/noticeable).
The context has been altered to allow for positive restructuring. Big can be exciting and powerful and confident. Lets compare some word choice to the previous description of self;
tall-ish, big, awkward, fat, in the way, anxious
vs
intentional, huge, fun, [wanting] affection
These words exude more confidence.
Intentional; making it your choice
Huge; perceived as a much more impactful/powerful word compared to big
Fun; compared to words used like awkward and anxious. Fun is enjoyable, when we have fun we are less aware of ourselves, we are just enjoying the joy we find.
Wanting affection and closeness; compared to being in the way. Wanting to be seen as something special rather than a burden, as someone to get close to rather than in the way.
G/t is very heavily oriented around power dynamics, and having power tends to give many of us a great increase in confidence as it allows for control or safety in a given situation, among other things. By creating a hyperbolic scenario, it seems you are able to recontextualize the situation to allow insecurities to become the cause of confidence.
This seems to suggest in your day to day you may lack feelings you attribute to confidence. Integrating descriptors you use for minigiants could perhaps feel that lack. Trying to do things intentionally gives us a feeling of control. This could be as simple as even just picking outfits with an intentional vibe, arranging something in your room for an aesthetic layout etc... although I would assume that given the references to intentionality would be more impactful to you if it was associated with interactions with others; intentionally saying hello to a stranger or something along those lines. Integrating time for fun or closeness with friends and family could be very helpful as well.
Now obviously a lot of this is easier said than done, especially when we feel anxious or awkward, but I would definitely recommend looking toward your fantasies for insight. Finding what differs between feeling big and in the way and intentionally huge, and creating little ways you can bring that confidence into your day to day.
Moving on to one of my favorite topics; shrinking and size changing.
Man shrinking is so underappreciated.
Shrinking is something very special, and holds a much different sub type in the tiny archetype. While tinys such as fairies or borrowers have always existed with their status in the power dynamic, shrinking and size changing directly refers to a loss of power.
For those who appreciate physics; shrinking is a vector. A variable with magnitude and direction.
There tends to be much more specific emotions of horror and loss with shrinking, and the context and reaction one associates with shrinking usually has a direct link to some sort of trauma or general negative perception.
I would highly recommend picking apart what response to shrinking you are typically drawn towards.
You specifically mentioned loss of control as well as new perspective. I've noticed in many shrinking tropes we see a sort of man vs. self journey as the overarching tale, where they better themselves through their hardships at their new size and despite losing power, they gain some sort of moral or ethics. Now this is not always the case and there are a variety of shrinking tropes. At times it feels as though even if the shrinking is not a punishment in the narrative itself, its a bit of a punishment fantasy where shrinking allows for reflection, and represents change both literally and metaphorically.
If this tends to be what you mean by change in perspective, it could be very insightful to look at what you typically associate with the pre-shrunk individual and the changes the undergo when shrunk.
loss of control, and perhaps an implication of loss of self.
I'd love to go into more detail in a latter session if you submit specifics in regards to shrinking!
---
That's all the time we have for today, I hope you enjoyed our session together. Please see my secretary on your way out to book your follow up.

relationship hcs ; snake fruit cookie
Tumblr media
requested by ; anonymous (20/05/23)
fandom(s) ; cookie run
fandom masterlist(s) ; hub | specific
character(s) ; snake fruit cookie
outline ; “UCS request, i know its a little late for em' sorry, but snake fruit cookie relationship hcs? theres almost nothing for her but shes so lovely”
warning(s) ; none, just fluff!
you are the most precious thing in the world to them and help drive them towards their goal of becoming a dragon just by being yourself
they strive to be the partner you deserve and feel great shame and embarrassment at their subservient position beneath longan because they feel like you are more worthy of a dragon than a lowly mortal
their love language is words of affirmation and they show it by constantly praising and complimenting you on everything you do — and, likewise, they bask in any and all praise that you send their way
whilst they aren’t the fondest of being touched, there are moments where they’re okay with touching you — and, shockingly, they’re actually a really good hugger
like they’ll wrap their body around you, kiss your crown and temple and just stay like that for however long you want them to (it’s lovely, really)
i hope you like snakes because you will be surrounded by them constantly, with snake fruit sending their servants to tend to and protect you at all hours of the day
they have to get up really early because of their responsibilities but they are by no means a morning person, spending as long as they can just burying their head in your chest and refusing to get up — until you remind them of their goal and they reluctantly and huffily go and get dressed (muttering obscenities the whole way until they’re out of sight)
calls you a lot of pet names along the lines of ‘my dear’, ‘my love’ and ‘sssweetheart’ and will rarely use your name unless they’re introducing you to someone else
the two of you bathe together at the end of the day, but it’s never a sexual thing — it’s just an intimate and domestic action that allows you to be close whilst also ridding you both of the stresses the day brought (it’s very time effective, frankly)
if their duties take them away from home for a longer period of time, then they’ll leave you notes hidden around your house for you to find and they’ll also enlist a few of their servants into passing on messages for you from them
incredibly protective and will not tolerate anyone talking negatively about you (i.e. they have a kill count but longan doesn’t care enough about mortals to scold them for it)

Since I mentioned Matilda, I can’t stop thinking of stories like Annie, Cinderella, and even mythology where godly parents were somewhat detached from a demigod’s childhood (like Hercules).
We could talk about how those individual cases might be impacted by omegaverse (and I’m not gonna discourage you from doing that if you find it fun). But I think a deeper, more cohesive question would be: how would fiction that mentions/concerns adoption be portrayed in omegaverse? Would the fantasy of the perfect found family carry over, would new themes/fantasies emerge, would these themes change based on historical events, etc?
Also! your adoption post wasn’t a downer!! >:(( it’s a topic that is worthy of analysis like that, and it wouldn’t feel right if it was a happy-go-lucky theory anyway. Also also I lowkey apologize for dragging you back from the dead with my post 💀
Lmao, no no! Just a lot have been goin on rn and such you didn’t drag me back. I’ve been in my other tumblr too wisjsi
Anyways! (Over all Tw// for this post for any other readers)
“how would fiction that mentions/concerns adoption be portrayed in omegaverse“
depends on how your adoption in your verse is. Currently I am very neutral about how to go about this so I’ll cover everything:
Positive: It would kinda be like, adoption is good and has its issues but it’s mostly well/handled the best way they can! They’d portray it with merit and addressing (or at least loosely) the circumstances and why this was an option that was chosen would arise. I think for fantasies I think the ‘found family’ wouldn’t carry on AS much. Maybe that’s only in the deepest parts of the world where theres just bad everywhere.
Since this is positive I don’t think there would be too many delusions but one delusion I can see is that “Adoption can never be an option for you because your life isn’t as bad,” which- is bad and sad but I think that delusion would carry over. Why? Well an ethnical adoption system IN MY OPINION doesn’t involve you taking away a kid cause they’re in poverty it’s having programs to help that family. (There is more but happy part lol)
I also think that parents don’t consider adoption as the solution to their puppylessness. They consider it a way to help a kid in need with the possibility of gaining nothing
Neutral: Neutral will be well what it is. It’ll have its delusions and its realities. Found family fantasy would be HUGE but not the fantasy of ‘perfect parents.’ (Aka our world thinks you just need love and cultural stripping and identity change isn’t bad because they adopted you and that’s a good thing. In ‘positive’ this would be addressed with parents better being equipped and researched about a kid’s possible cultural background. At least with transracial adoptions)
I think the issues surrounding it is addressed but in a basic form opposed to a deep one.
Negative: Tbh like how our world is today. Found family delusion, ‘adoptive parents are saints,’ ‘adoption is a gift’ and I think a NEW delusion that would arise is: ‘they gave you their scent you should be grateful,’ like okay?? Another would be how about the dynamics:
‘Your parents adopted an Alpha?? Oh you should be so so so grateful since you are- no offense a handful,’ - Delusion: Alpha children has the lowest adoption rate to be picked cause they’re a handful
reality: Alpha children are harder to adopt out because the government wants to keep its charity points and Beta Children just don’t- have that kind of ‘urgency,’
‘Omegas are adopted mostly because they’re the most tragic so of you’re gonna adopt adopt an Omega!’ - Delusion: Omega children have the most tragic stories so adopt them
reality: The system know Omegas are the societies babies, ofc they’re gonna pull on their heart strings and make some shit up about how 90% of their omegas come from a bad situation
Beta’s would cost the least
As for INFANTS since you cannot tell a pups dynamic until ages 3-4, they are usually kept unavailable unless you are willing to pay an ungodly sum (they gotta get those dynamic stories/papers)
As for historical events I have a few in mind? But they are not part of my culture so I feel awkward for bringing them up lol
Some Matilda things to cleanse your soul:
Matilda grew up in her parents house, so her scent confusion and security isn’t ‘that’ severe. But also that place smells of 80% smoke and other things so definitely still bad (I mean ofc it is)
Matilda was older when she found out she wanted to be adopted - and that’s okay and 1000% valid (imo) and Ms Honey did all the research after adopting her
Ms Honey’s scent is very much honey suckle, dewdrops, and the sunset
Matilda’s scent is a soft grassy breeze, leather and a small hint of lemon

This or That tag game
Thanks for the tag @verkja <3
Historical or Futuristic
I’de honestly have to say historical but I do like futuristic if it’s science related or post apocalyptic so it may be a tie it just depends on how its done or what genre it is. My own writing usually takes place present times with some futuristic technology added in, just because I would be too nervous of messing up anything historically related.
Opening or Closing Chapter
Closing chapter. I love it when things end its my favourite it just feels like checking something off a to do list, otherwise im left with an empty unaccomplished unfinished feeling and that mental list in my head never gets checked off (im looking at you manga i never finished reading)
Light and Fluffy or Dark and Gritty
Dark and Gritty is always my go to, but certain genres I do like just nice fluff- Like most G/t related things. Hamster story is pretty light compared to most of my other works… TSATS is verging on concerningly harsh.
Animal Companion or Found Family
Found family <3 I love <3 especially when it represents the queer community. Animal companions I never really felt anything for… Like an anime mascot. Clarence reminds me of a mascot character since they’re sadly outnumbered by humans.
Horror or Romance
Horror. Idc about romance pretty much at all, like I have ships, and its cute and a common story element but im pretty ace (probably aro) and it just isn’t in my top interests. I have done romance rp’s which I adored but horror is always my top pick <333
Hard Magic System or Soft Magic System
My world building has a hard magic system with some loose rules if that makes sense… Especially my small elves they have a lot of set rules that I try to follow, especially with how their magic works and what they can do.
Stand-alone or Series
I like both, but series does have more impact a lot of the time. Pretty much all of my own stories are meant to be one book though. Theres already so much detail and world building and stuff for me to remember its easier for me to keep it at a manageable length. TSATS is by far my longest story but I don’t really know how long it really is in a book format…
Edit- I didn’t understand this last night at 2 am LMAO, I definitely like a series better than stand alones.
One Project at a Time or Always Juggling 2+
Im juggling so many things its actually disastrous. Its too much. Hamster story is taking priority right now because I seem to have a steady follower base for it and I want to keep it going at a nice pace ^_^ the other ones I don’t know if I will post so they’re really not in any rush. I would like to finish rats race though just for myself because I want to move onto better things and move away from the boxboy-esque genre.
One Award Winner or One Best Seller
Doesn’t matter either way. I don’t want to get too well known because I am uneasy about people forming negative opinions on me, which tends to be unavoidable for many many famous people, even if they’ve done barely anything wrong.
Fantasy or Sci-Fi
Both :) I do have to admit I lean more towards fantasy most times because it’s usually pretty and whimsical and foresty which is all mesmerizing to me. TSATS has both which I still don’t see too often so I find that really fun to play with. It still definitely leans on the fantasy side since its from my small elves perspective.
Character Description or Setting Description
Character description. I read things for the characters and like to know what they look like and know their quirks and such. Honesty I always have to look at my writing and try to see where I can add more setting descriptions because im always so focused on the characters and forget that people kinda need to know their surroundings… The characters aren’t just standing in a white void 😭😭 I swear. Sometimes I its more vague because I will not remember the colour of Ratty’s car, or what Kats house looks like for example… so I leave the details out…
First Draft or Final Draft
I only ever do first drafts and trying to get more comfortable with doing second drafts and editing but I would really love to have a final draft someday hoo boy… someone teach me how to do it haha 😂 /srs/gen/pls go into my dms
Tagging who ever want to join!!

hi im back bc i have more songs and also bc that mike song was so good what the hell, you always have the perfect songs for everyone how do you do that 😭 the line about wanting to back to the basement with friends....im okay im okay 😭😭
okay so i was listening to a Different of monsters and men album on my way to work this morning and kept getting schmacked with st relatable songs so! the first song is this which was giving me STRONG mike and max vibes. the theme of "im always fucking up and im sorry im sorry im sorry i wish i could take it all back" but still holding onto their heart??? YEAH. the song applies in different ways to them too, where mike has been mean and unintentionally (and intentionally) cruel to will and el and even lucas, but also where max has all this guilt and shame and pulls away from all her friends, i feel like she'd have even more guilt after s4, like all of this is her fault bc she didnt open up, and also bc she kept pushing lucas away and hurting him. :(
the second song is a WILL BYERS TM song, it's so s2 coded when he's slowly getting posessed by the mindflayer. i love that you can also look at it as a s5 concept where he gains control or works with the mindflayer too! the song fits so perfectly in such a poetic way im actually obsessed. like how its growing colder, how its surrounding him and isolating him, and how he sees himself through someone else! AHHHH
okay final song (for now lol) feels like an El song!! It doesn't have a whole lot of lyrics but there's so much in the subtext and especially with the instrumentals that build and build throughout the song (i seriously love this song it makes me go nuts you have to Listen to this one to rly get what i mean!!). You could also argue it as a willel song but personally I find it such an El song 🥺 the thousand eyes of her dead siblings, of papa, of all her friends, of the government agents that want to kill/use her, etc. just being watched and waited on and always a spectacle in some way, but still finding that strength inside her to fight back against everyone trying to hurt and use her. I could even see the lyrics describing the abuse she went through, her remaking, to use her powers for their own benefits and hunt Henry down...man. the "undo this storm" to "i am the storm"?? WOOF.
anyway thats all I have for you today!! btw im so glad you get so much joy out of our interactions ur gonna make me cry 🥺😭 theres nothing like bonding over music that just fits the blorbos so perfectly djcksjxks
emmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaa (i wanted to actually type emmugghhhhhh because that is the pathetic little sound i'm making because these songs are killing me)!!!
organs:
excuse me what is WRONG WITH YOU? this line is right here? it's so max and mike coded: So I take off my face because it reminds me of how it all went wrong. i have this mike fic that i'm writing (sorta. i'm taking a break from it right now lol) that this is reminding me of so much.
also though this song is giving me such will vibes as well! and actually just byler vibes, and i think it's because of this section right here.
So I take off my face
Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong
(a mike line because i just think he has such a negative sense of self-perception, and this section reminds of mirror imagery for some reason so it ALSO then reminds me of the depressing scene with will at the end of s1 in his bathroom and having a moment where he's staring in the mirror.)
And I pull out my tongue
Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong
(mike lines. mike regretting the harmful things he's said to so many people and the guilt just eating him up!!!)
And I cough up my lungs
Because they remind me of how it all went wrong
(now this right here are a couple of will lines!!! i was talking about something unrelated with /messrsbyler and kinda stumbling into imagery with breathing and how that ties into the ways vecna has harmed will - i.e. the vine, the mind flayer entering through his mouth and eyes and ears, and then will 2x describes the feeling of the mind flayer as making him unable to breathe? yeah all of this just like is giving me so many feels.)
And I leave in my heart
Because I don't want to stay in the dark
(and this right here. i leave in my heart is will right now as of s4, because mike is his heart. he holds on close to mike and refuses to let go, even in all the turmoil of their friendship, because he recognizes that mike is his light if we wanna use max's metaphor!! and obviously we're gonna see mike realize will is heart too and that will is his light and he's going to come out of the darkness of his shame and insecurity and guilt and DAMN IT I AM SO EMOTIONAL AND THIS IS ONLY SONG 1.)
black water:
oh okay. emma get out of my house right now. unfriended. what is WRONG WITH YOU? HUH? WAS THAT NECESSARY? WAS IT?
the rain imagery? (*cries in castle byers*) i see myself through someone else? (*cries in will losing his autonomy and control over self in s2*) also just like the lines about it becoming colder wtf wtf wtf why is this so will i'm upset now
this is also fuel for my avatar/stranger things brain rot so THANKS FOR THAT?
thousand eyes:
excuse me you were so sick for this
Flowers that lose their shape
I lie awake and watch it all
there's just. such a melancholy and a heaviness to this song. which just hurts me even more because then i think about how all el wants is just to be a normal teenage girl. she just wants to go to the mall and spend time with her best friends. and this song just screams to me like, "no, i know what i have to be for everyone else, and i feel the heaviness and the ache of that" which is so so el. i love this. and just like how the song builds in intensity mirroring how much pressure is placed on her as the storyline grows and grows? GAH I CAN'T. also literally yes to EVERYTHING YOU SAID IT'S SO SO GOOD.
also YES I'M SO GLAD THAT WE DO THIS. THERE'S NOTHING BETTER THAN FINDING NEW BLORBO MUSIC AND SHARING IT WITH PEOPLE!!!
may i offer you an el song in return? i have so so so many thoughts on this song so i want to hear all of yours!!!!

thoughts on the goldfinch after 500 pages (its pretty negative):
its wayy too long, it couldve been like 400 pages, max. and i hate the description of the surroundings with the commas thats on every other page (like "cracked sidewalk, dirty scaffolding, italian construction workers"). I really wouldnt mind it and probably wouldnt have noticed it if it happened once or twice per chapter, but find another way to describe the surrondings. also how much she used parentheses, especially during his time at the barbours. its might be a me problem because of how i read it, but in fiction parentheses often feels like the narrorator is breaking the 4th wall and speaking to the audience and thats obviously fine now and again. i dont mind that. but when theres like 5 sentences in parentheses on a page it feels like watching a play or an interview where they stop talking to each other every other sentence and instead speak directly to you. like if it happens once or twice it can be funny or appropriate in the context, but its distracting when she does it this much. a lot of those sentences couldve been put between commas or dashes instead so it feels like its a part of the text. a lot of the characters kind of feel shallow ot like caricatures. i guess thats not really a problem with side characters, they dont have to be fleshed out but theyre all like heres a russian, he acts like a stereotypical russian. heres a mexican guy, he acts like a stereotypical mexican. heres an italian guy he acts like a stereotypical italian. i mean its fine to have a russian alcoholic if you want to, but it feels like shes using it as a shortcut instead of using actual descriptors (which is crazy for an inappropriately long book, you could use some of that time to give them character). it feels like shes saying "heres a jewish guy. just imagine a jew and youve got it. no need for me to work on this character"

Perfect connection Chapter 9 - Arthur Maxson x Fem Sole Survivor
THIS IS NOT A LEMMON CHAPTER, but theres gonna be more lemmon chapters on this fics. Mostly to make their relationship more intense and passionate. This one would be in the middle of chapter 24 from the original fic
If you are very very very delighted with one fic and want a continuation I didn’t write or post you can donate me at least $5 bucks, most of this fics have next chapters I don’t finish because lack of motivation but hey a $5 is a $5, I see a few reviews and comments that fics that are abandoned months laters receive comments of wanting to know what happens next. Here it is, I finished my handling with you all, enjoy the fic
They were resting together naked into the others arms. Nora was still in the Prydwen and Arthur was desesperatly trying to convince her to not scape in whenever moment he goes to take the Wilson Atomatoys Factory. In the second he is gone, she is too, and he was planning all the impossible to change her mind…it was difficult tho. She was difficult.
Lately, she let him rest over her belly, touch with his hand or even place his head, it wasn’t big tho, a bit more than 3 months, almost 4, her swollen belly with their Maxson child inside. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was under the constant menace of she leaving his side…he would be living the dream.
With his cheek against her warm skin his chest feel light and full with a nice sensation, although his mind was all crossed with negative thoughts, stressed about the horrible and inevitable leaving of Nora…
-Tell me something –he said, in one attempt to use the precious moments they still have together. It was awful to have the constant pressure of his rational side  telling him that she will leave, and go away but it was…realistic- a secret you planned to take to your tomb
Nora raise an eyebrow and look down, he was resting there with his hands around her hips.
-Why? –he raised his shoulders.
-Don’t be boring, just chatting –she raised her shoulders too and didn’t give it much importance.
-Well you start
-I ask to you
-Then my I ask why?
-Fine, at the same time?-he felt some movement, he supposed she nodded- I believe I had something to do with the disappearance of Sarah Lyons
-I smoke during the first months my pregnancy
Silence.
Damn, and he was the one thinking he throw a bomb
-Really? Why do you think so? –ask the woman to break the silence.
-There were a lot of interest in taking the Lyons out the power, you must heard the comments around the airport-again, movement, she agrees- I was not directly implied of course
-Never would agree to take part on it –now he nodded.
-No, I would never hurt neither of them but its obvious there was interest in using my lastname to take power, I just had to accept it  at that moment
-You were just a child –her arms surround him, an he hide his eyes in her belly- trick you with achievements and promotions for their own purposes, I get it
Again, silence, until the man spoke again.
-I don’t think a smoking in the pregnancy creates a psyco killer –Nora punch him in the head, he laughed- come on
-Another one, now you first –he smiled, she was having a good time, it was silly and simple but she liked it.
-Not a secret, just a thought in the background of my mind, never spoke it outloud since no one could answer it but what happened to the raven cameras from the institute once the place was destroyed? They cant receive orders or give any image to anybody anymore. And they weren’t robots, they were synth birds, so theyll live without a scientist care
-They cant reproduce, so eventually they die, I never head a hunting because birds were difficult to hunt even back then-bullshit, it was because Nora didn’t have any shooting skills- also there’s no really difference between a real raven and a synth one unless you blow their heads- he heard and nodded-my turn: my son was an anthropologist –oh? They were talking about Shaun Shaun?
-That’s a science that study human behavior and history right? –she nodded- accurate considering his origins
-He was no real scientist goddamit –she spit with anger, he could feel her muscles get all tense.
-I mean I would not go that far to say that is not a science but…I get you –he heard her breath out from the nose clearly infuriated.
-One of my regrets is not taking the institute under my lead–her nails crawled in his arms.
-Becoming leader you say? –movement back him, she nodded- why? –okay this was confusing
-Such a waste of useful resources –he chuckled, that aint right.
-Its no use if the people working there is rotten to the core –from what she told him the day to day people, the scientist were okay with kidnapping people actively from the surface like they were animals, it was something so…accepted, even to do extreme punishments over silly things like stealing cigarettes and transforming their own people.
-At least save the facilities, it was impulsive from my part to blow the place –one of his hands started to caress her knee bellow the sheets.
-Its no use to think on that now- she look to another side, and Arthurs head moved back to see at her. Melancholic and annoyed.
-I know

This might be more specific of an ask than you are looking for, so if it is, feel free to talk about just Seddie in general, but one thing I’d love to hear someone else’s thoughts on is how Sydney and Jedediah’s history will affect their romantic relationship. Like, they both have so so much trauma, and so so many issues (please, put these kids in therapy) and while that stands as a testament to all that they’ve been through together, I think it could also have a pretty negative repercussion on their relationship. I mean, heck, it already has in the first season! I feel their situation is just vastly different from the typical romances written in media. Personally, I actually really love that and am glad this kind of dynamic is being explored, but what do you think? Do you have predictions, thoughts, or opinions on “Toxic Cecil and Carlos” or Blue’s decision to write a relationship like theirs?
OH MY GOD NO I LOVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THIS IS SO GREAT im probably gonna have this be the last one i reply to before i go to bed bc i just think its such a fun question ...... will talk abt the rest tmr ........ BUT i absolutely think its going to affect their relationship no for certain . mainly because i think they havent worked out their issues at All before diving into dating each other and i think thats really gonna come back to bite them, how can you go from years of ignoring someone to dating them straight away? and we already kinda see that this isnt gonna go well, seeing as adams apparently a couples therapist - i wouldnt be surprised if we see them either break up or almost break up at some point, i Really think things are gonna be rough for them. mainly i think itll be difficult for jedidiah to be able to provide sydney with the attention and love that a growing relationship needs due to his Completely unresolved guilt and trauma surrounding sydney's reanimation, and i think sydney will have a difficult time trusting him and being comfortable around him with the fear we know he has for him. not to mention jedidiahs feelings of undue responsibility and his underlying ableism that seems to still be incredibly unresolved - i really think theres a Lot of issues theyre gonna need to work through and i think things will probably get worse before they get better. and you know what? i think thats AMAZING. i love that their relationship is so complex!! normally im not a huge fan of couples getting together early in shows because i feel like their dynamic becomes less interesting the moment after they get together. but they still have so much to work through!! theres gonna be so many problems!! im honestly unsure if theyre going to remain together in the end and while obviously as a sydidiah enjoyer to the grave thats sad 4 me . but its so good narratively because it means theres still uncertainty!! sydney and jedidiah dating does not mean that theyve stopped being flawed and interesting characters and i actually think its going to exacerbate things!! i hope theyre able to work through it and be able to be together healthily obviously but the fact that i Have to hope is really good narratively because it means that their dynamic hasnt lost what was so compelling and tragic in the first season. also from a representation standpoint i think its great because i think gay people need the messy rep that straight people get that doesnt take "messy" and turn it into "homophobic" or "queerbaiting". and thats what they are!!!! delightful!!!!!! i want to study these freaks in a lab
(also every time theyre called toxic cecilos it makes me giggle because it just makes me think of 70a bc kevin and carlos r the closest thing to toxic cecilos in the show which i find funny bc there the avoidant scientist is the one in the right but i digress . i like wtnv and calling them that makes me laugh)

I want this to be a short request but how would crushing!companions react to sole who holds their hand whenever they get scared and it slowly turns into a habit for them to always hold onto his hand?
omg this is literally so cute, bye. 🥺💗 i hope you enjoy, anon.
to keep it short, i’ll just write their reactions to when sole holds their hand and i will put ‘companions react to sole holding their hand as a habit’ in a separate post! <3
-
Danse:
it’s nothing new in his life— he’s experienced his fair share of people holding onto him during stressful and terrifying situations, so it’s something he’s used to. however, sole is an exception in this case. it’s been quite a while since he’s caught feelings for his companion, so it’s different in certain situations with them.
when they first get startled and hold his hand, he tenses up, his mind going completely blank as they wrap their fingers around his palm. though millions of people have done the same action to him in the past, this one feels different and he swears it makes him feel emotions he’s never truly felt before. before he can question what their intentions were, he noticed how they drew closer to him, eyes frantically scanning their surroundings and he realizes that there may have been an uncomfortable presence around.
so danse slowly takes a breath and squeezes their hand in return, looking down at them with red cheeks and a nervous expression. “you’re safe, don’t worry. if there appears to be any threat within our vacinity, i will neutralize it as best as i can.” when they look at him with a relieved smile, he feels his heart swell with emotions he’s never felt in his lifetime. he doesn’t dare to let go until sole feels safe enough to do so and even when they do, he fights the urge to take their hand in his once more.
instead, he impatiently waits for the next time he has the chance to hold their hand in his again, already excited though he refuses to admit it.
Deacon:
deacons not a very affection man nor has he received any affection from any other individual besides his late other half. To say this situation was terrifying for him was an understatement. he’s probably already dreading the fact that he has an unavoidable crush for his companion, not wanting to deal with that type of stress no longer.
the first time his crush rushes to hold his hand out of fear of their surroundings, he immediately pulls away out of habit and stares at them with a lump in his throat, words scrambled and refusing to leave his mouth for a moment. “i-, uh-“
with a mortified expression, sole waves it off with a flush on their face and an embarrassed tone, “shit i’m sorry. it’s just a habit, please don’t mind me.” they slowly distance themselves away from him and deacon quickly gets his act together, inwardly panicking that he may have hurt their feelings unintentionally. “no, it’s fine. i just- uh.” they tilt their head with a confused expression and instead of explaining himself, he lets out a soft apology and awkwardly goes on his way to save him the embarrassment. when he thinks about it later, he feels a pang of guilt hit him and realizes he may have been too harsh, so he tries to make an exception.
next time around, when sole does accidentally jump to grab his hand, it takes him a moment to calm himself down but does gather the courage to return the gesture. he would notice the surprised expression on soles face, and even though he’s internally losing it, he musters up the same shit eating smile he always has and cracks a joke; “charmer, i know it’s hard to stay away from me, but you could at least try.” when sole doesn’t respond and sends him a confused expression, he gives them a small smile and tugs their hand, “that’s okay though, i don’t mind. good ol’ deeks will scare the monsters away.”
when sole lets out a small chuckle, he feels himself grow agitated and immediately whips around to hide the blush on his face as he drags sole along with him. “we better get going if we wanna get outta this scary place. yknow, before you jump out of your shoes.”
Maccready:
he’s very to himself in most situations and values his personal space just as much as most people do in the commonwealth. he believes in a personal bubble and really enforces that idea, respecting his own personal space as well as others. however in this case, mac is probably just as scared as sole is, though he may be a lot better at hiding it.
when sole does grab his hand, he doesn’t give attention to it at first due to him being scared as well but when he does notice them showing signs of fear, he tries to reassure them, even though he’s flustered at the sudden contact. with a deep breath, he sucks in his negative emotions and decides to step up to bring comfort to them.
“hey, you okay?” when sole doesn’t respond, he just pulls them closer and squeezes their hand gently to grab their attention. when they do look at him, he smiles awkwardly, a inevitable blush dusting his cheeks. “earth to sole?”
when they explain their habit of doing so, he tries to lighten the mood by telling stories about his life in the capital wasteland and how he felt during his time at little lamplight, letting them know that he had similar fears and still continues to have them despite him experiencing the wasteland for years.
soon enough, their hands naturally find home in each other as they both continue exchanging similar experiences they’ve had, laughter filling the silence that sole feared just moments back.
Hancock:
hancocks a very touchy man and people do show him quite a lot of affection, so just like danse, he’s used to the constant attention others show him, only this time, the perspective is a little different. he enjoys it far more than other companions and doesn’t mind when they rush to hold his hand, though it catches him off guard.
for a moment, he processes the events occurring but once he does, he lets out a soft smile and a chuckles under his breath. he wants to let out a flirtatious comment or two, but fights the urge and instead, soothes their fear instead of embarrassing them.
“don’t worry, sunshine. you know i wouldn’t let anyone hurt you.” he’d rub his thumb against their knuckles and smiles when he sees the tenseness in their body melt away. “in fact..”
when he lets go of their hand, he sees the panic grow on their face and lets out a small chuckle. with a swift movement, he gently throws his arm over their shoulder and pulls them closer, rubbing their arm reassuringly.
“.. this might be a little more comforting. no matter what happens, i’ll always be ready to protect you this way. don’t you agree?” when they chuckle and nod at his suggestion, he pulls them closer to his body, whispering loud enough for them to hear.
“ ‘m always here for you, sunshine. you don’t ever have to be scared, especially with me around. don’t ever feel like you have to hide it from me.” sole lets out a small hum before leaning into his touch, trusting every word that left his mouth.
Nick Valentine:
nick is very understanding with a situation like this and doesn’t mind it one bit. though he does get a bit flustered, he tries to play out the scenario in a way where they won’t feel embarrassed about the events occurring. he’s aware that everyone has their fair share of fears, no matter how tough you play out to be.
“things can get pretty scary around here, i know.” when he smiles down at them, they feel a sense of ease and relax into his touch instead of having the urge to pull away. “waking up 200 years later in a completely different life will do that to you.”
sole would sigh and hold his hand tighter, their voice barely a whisper as their cheeks flush with embarrassment. “i wonder how you do it sometimes.”
nick lets out a small laugh at their reaction. “it wasn’t always like this, sweetheart. i was just as scared as you, maybe even worse.” sole looks at him with curiosity as he continues on, “theres always something new everyday but soon you’ll learn how to adapt to it.”
“you think so?”
“i know so.” his words are full of reassurance and comfort, allowing sole to let go of any negative feelings that filled their chest.
“good thing i have the best companion in the wasteland to guide me around this hellhole.” sole puts it out as a joke, but knows a part of it was the truth that she was wholeheartedly grateful for.
he proceeded to rub his thumb on their knuckles, feeling a sense of happiness in their comment, “i’ll do my best to meet your expectations, partner.”
Preston:
poor boy. he’d be a blushing mess if sole were to ever do something as simple as this. if they were to dart to grab his hand, even out of fear, he’d stutter in confusion, obviously flustered at the idea of them latching onto him. “w-what are you d-doing?”
his body would immediately freeze upon contact, stopping in his tracks despite the possibility of getting attacked at any given moment. when he catches the terror in their expression, he’s reminded that the general has their weak points too. so instead of questioning their actions any further, he tries to reassure them despite his pounding heart.
“did you wanna turn around? we can always find another route. we could even send a team of minutemen to do this for us.” when sole shakes their hand and swallows the lump in their throat, preston lets out a soft sigh and smiles at them softly.
“just leaving the suggestion out there, general. say the word and we’ll turn right back around.” sole would shake their head, their stubbornness peeking through the look of fear twisting on their face. “it’s fine. i can’t be selfish and let it get to me.”
preston would feel his heart swell at their sacrifice and the determination that they held, despite the odds going against them. gently, he squeezed their hand and looked down at them, seeing the curious expression on their face. “if that’s the case, just know i’m confident that nothing will tear you down. i have your back every step of the way,” he pauses for a moment, rubbing the nape of his neck nervously with a dorky smile, “even if it mean- uh -holding my hand. i’d be more than happy to.”
after a few moments of silence, sole processed his words and smiled at him in response, returning the squeeze. “thank you, preston.”
Sturges:
sturges is aware he isn’t the strongest man in the commonwealth nor does he have the ability to protect sole in most situations. however, if he had a choice, he would do the best he could and he knows that sole is aware of his intentions. yet, when they yelp with fear and lunge to him, taking his hand in theirs, he realizes that maybe he isn’t as weak as he sought out to be.
“you holding up ‘lright, sweetheart?” when they notice their actions, their expression slowly twists into a terrified one and they attempt to retrieve their hand as quickly as they can. sturges doesn’t stop them from doing so and instead just laughs heartily and offers his hand to them despite their reaction.
“i’m fine with it, yknow. i wasn’t complainin’ or anything, just wanted to check if you’re okay.” sole hesitates for a moment, eyes flickering from his hand to his face before replying. “are you sure it’s okay? it just gave me a little scare, you don’t have to-“
before they could continue, he moves closer, taking their hand in his with a light blush on his cheeks and a reassuring smile plastered on his face. “it’s the least i can do for you.” his actions are more than enough to reassure sole and they nod, accepting his offer. “thank you, sturges.”
Gage:
he doesn’t like crushes— gage is so used to the habit of a one night stand and constant hook ups that he absolutely forgets how loving someone feels like. as sole grips his hand in fear, he chokes up for a good second and immediately gets himself together, retreating his hand and glaring at them.
“the fuck you think you’re doing?” despite his tough demeanor, his voice becomes slightly shaky and a small tinge of pink dusts his cheek. this doesn’t go unnoticed at first, but sole knows they’re too distracted to point it out.
they would apologize with an embarrassed expression and he’d avert his eyes elsewhere before continuing on; “yer the damn overboss, some stupid shit like this shouldn’t scare you. you gotta be tougher than that if yer gonna survive in this world.”
he doesn’t realize the words that leave his mouth until his eyes fall on sole, who’s clearly embarrassed and overwhelmed with the situation and immediately feels a tinge of guilt. with a quiet groan, he slows down and averts his eyes elsewhere, waiting for them to pick up the pace. when sole lets out a confused hum, he forces the words to leave his mouth.
“hurry up and get in front of me, why don’t ya’? yer acting like i’d let the overboss get hurt on my watch.”
they would pause for a moment at his words but feel a sense of reassurance knowing that gage had their back, despite his attitude towards them. “okay.” sole would smile at him softly and he’d scoff, fighting the blush threatening to creep up on his face. this stupid love bullshit was doing nothing but holding him back.
“yeah, yeah. lets get a move on before i leave ya out here to get eaten.”

The best dog parent - Declan Rice. 
HI BAE!!💗💘💓💝 I’m sorry you have been waiting for ages! thank you so much for your request. I do apologise it’s bad and not like what you wanted it to be BUT THERES ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT 👍🏼 I LOVE U SOOO MUCH MY SOULMATE FOREVER 💓💗💝😭💘💕💗
Tumblr media
Seeing Declan and Raffa together filled your heart with so much love.
To say the kid was obsessed with the dog was an understatement. Sometimes you think he loves Raffa more than captaining West Ham, which is a hell of a lot. The two together could be described as stuck together like glue, a special bond so close. What ever Dec did, Raffa did too.
Dec would often leave training 20 minutes early so that he could take Raffa on an evening walk before it was dark. Or you would find him coming home with several cuddly toys for his little cockapoo, spending great deals of money. During the summer of Euros. Declan would frequently facetime you, not to speak to yourself but to his little ‘child’ Raffa instead. Seeing how much love he has for the pup, really makes you wonder what he would be like having his own children. You both haven’t had the baby talk yet, him being busy with the Euros and football, whilst you busy dealing with your job. 
You and Dec were currently on your daily walk, the golden cockapoo by Dec’s side ready to be let off the lead and run free. This was one of your favourite moments of the day, hand in hand with the person you love. Surrounded by gorgeous greenery, you never want these times to end. Once you reach the safe dog walking area in the park, Dec crouches down ruffling Raffa’s head before unclipping his lead from his collar. You both laugh as he dashes off, wanting to play with the other dogs.
“Look! he’s made a friend.” Dec smiles, pointing to Raffa with a big smile on his face before grabbing his phone out and capturing the moment. “Is that going to Mason? Or to the folder on your camera roll with hundreds of pics of him already?” You question, eyebrows knitted together. 
“Both babe, I’ve got to be able to show the team how clever my little baby is. And I want to look at it again later-.” He looks at you with a serious face, as you giggle at how whipped he was over his dog. 
“You are so good with him, you know.” You blurt out,. He smiles widely at you, face beaming with pride. “Of course, he’s my baby.” He grins, throwing one of Raffa’s many toys in his direction. 
“Never thought about having your own actual little baby?” You mumble, the thought of having kids being fresh in your mind. Your heart racing after the words that had just spilled from your mouth, unsure on Dec’s reaction. You tilt your head, facing away from him and looking in another direction, nibbling on your bottom lip as a distraction. 
Dec turns at the sound of your voice, confused as to what he was hearing. “What?” He questions, needing you to repeat again, to make sure he heard correctly the first time.
“Just-“-seeing you with Raffa. You are so good with him and it fills my heart with so much joy, you do everything for him. He’s so lucky to have you as his owner.” He gives you a warm smile, heart filling at your precious words. “-It’s just, what I’m trying to say is-” You breathe out before clearing your throat. You gaze at the ground, not wanting to look at Dec, your worries giving you negative thoughts. 
“- I want to have a baby with you. So bad.” You sigh, feeling a weight lift off your shoulders. You awkwardly shift one foot to the other, putting your hands in your pockets. Declan takes a moment to process your words, a shock to him since you both have never spoken about this topic- before. 
He looks away as you look up at him, and now you are really wishing you hadn’t of said anything. The silence is killing you, not a word exchanged. The only noise were dogs barking or babies tears. You feel your palms begin to get sweaty, maybe he doesn’t want kids? Maybe this was too soon? 
“I want a baby too,” He whispers, turning to face you. He pulls you into his chest, wrapping his arms around you tightly. He presses soft kisses to your head, rubbing his hand up and down your back. You feel like crying in his arms, the relief. You smile with your head nestled in his chest. The two of you stay like that for a moment, until Dec speaks up.
“I always thought Raffa was going to be our baby, because I didn’t want to say anything to you-” He pauses, cheeks blushing. “About having kids in case, you didn’t want them?- Or maybe you do want them just not yet? Maybe when Raf gets bigger? I don’t know what I am trying to say but-?” You cut him off with a kiss, your heart fluttering at how shy he had become. His cheeks were as red as roses and his voice had become croaky and quiet.
“I suggest you message Mase. Let him know that he doesn’t need to worry about his pull out game, If you both want them to be the next Money Mase and Dangerous Deccers.” Dec smiles at your joke, cheeks still bright red.  
“Why have you gone all shy? Mr Declan Rice.” You lift your hand to thread it through his hair, stroking his cheek with your thumb.
“Just excited, I can’t wait to share the future with you.” Nervous in his response, as you continue to thread your hands threw his hair. Something you know puts him at ease.
The two of you continue to chat, going in the direction of your dog. The smiles on your faces were gleaming like Cheshire cats, conversations about whose going to be the best uncle? or can the baby’s first outfit be a West ham kit? Checking the time on your phones, you see that it is growing late and you three should probably start heading back. 
You call Raffa by encouraging him with a few treats, the pup sprinting over, dancing by your feet. You tell him to sit, before giving him his favourite snacks. Dec crouches to Raffa’s level, fluffing his fur on his head. Giving him lots of attention and kisses. 
“Raf buddy, how do you feel about being a big brother?” Dec coos, ruffling his head fur. The dog leans into his touch before barking at the idea, causing lots of laughs from you both. Dec clips the lead back to his collar, stands up and slips his hand in yours. Winking at you, you to let out a giggle. You both heading towards the car.
There’s a comfortable silence between you two, emotions high. The car journey wasn’t long, a short 15 minutes. Dec had placed his hand on your thigh, drawing comforting circles, giving you reassurance. You enjoy the peaceful 15 minutes, taking in the views of the outside and your boyfriend. 
“There’s one query I have about this baby.” You look over at him, edging him to carry on. 
“Raffa has to be the first to hold it..” You let out the cheesiest grin, smiling at how insane your boyfriend was. 
“Oh Dec.”
