#like yes a lot of his fields of knowledge are medical

Sometimes I forget how much shit McCoy canonically knows, at least to a degree of competence. Like ok sure he's not an Engineer or a bricklayer but he's damn well more than "a simple, country doctor"; he's got the sciences badge instead of the medical one for a reason

hawoo i like your writings soooooo much!!! can i request something like dottore as our father? like we're his child, literally. can be biological or adopted, up to u!!
Tumblr media
His Legacy
Dottore doesn't have the time nor energy to find a lover and create a child with them. He doesn't even want to adopt one, there's a lot of processes that needs to be done before he can officially adopt said child.
If he wants a child, he prefers them to have his genes, a child that can follow in his footsteps and have the same knowledge as he does but from a different perspective of theirs.
What better way to make a child than in the laboratory.
After a month of finding the perfect resources and killing countless women to obtain the proper egg cells, he was able to create an infant, you.
He welcomed you into the world with a grin, his eyes staring back at yours, just the same color as his. He noticed your hair was blue as well, with the tips being a different color, possibly from the unknown mother's genes but he doesn't mind.
The segments all stood on one side of the room while staring at you, currently being held by Dottore himself as he held you out to the segments.
"What is that tiny thing?" "It looks like us but the tips of their hair is a different color." "Are they a failed segment?"
"This child you see before you is mine. I created them in the laboratory using a random woman's egg cell and adding my sperm cell to it. I expect the rest of you to take care of them as well. As for the name... let's call it (Y/n)."
You weren't much of a talker through the years of growing up but Dottore did found out your teeth were sharp like his, he was proud of himself to be able to create you that got most of his characteristics.
He personally taught you everything he knows, from the concept of science itself all the way to the medical field. You're already an expert at opening up a corpse at the fine age of nine without even vomiting or even disgusted at the sight and scent of blood.
Sometimes, the other harbingers would forcefully carry you out of the laboratory just to be able to enjoy the outside world and explore more, much to Dottore's annoyance.
Without the others knowing, Dottore would call a segment and order them to follow you and make sure that you're okay without being caught by his fellow harbingers.
You were given the nickname 'Mini Dottore' by Childe.
Whenever the eleventh harbinger called you that nickname, he would end up in your father's laboratory with a large bloody bite wound on either his arms or legs, courtesy of you.
On special experiments that requires a living test subject, Dottore wouldn't allow you to join in on the experiment, you would be taking the job of an assistant if an occasion arises.
Yes he taught you how to hold a scalpel and how to open up a body but he did it with a dead one. He didn't want you to kill a living organism yet, he may be crazy but he's not crazy enough to let his child watch a person screaming to death.
The segments would use you as a secret weapon if they were told to ask Pantalone for more fundings for their projects. They knew how the regrator couldn't say no to you. You may be a mini version of your father but you're way more adorable than him is what Pantalone stated.
We know Dottore's hair is usually around shoulder length but he doesn't know how to style it. With you in the picture, he had to deal with your hair because it would be everywhere and it is a big problem. It's either he cuts it short with scissors or style it.
He doesn't style it. He just grabs the nearest sharp object he could use and cut it short. He did thought of styling your hair like his but the idea was quickly thrown to the trash when you pouted at him. Luckily he knows how to do a ponytail, although quite messy but he makes sure it doesn't get in the way of your tasks.
Dottore would often be puzzled whenever he would see you caring for animals that were supposed to be used for his experiments. He concluded that this kind personality of yours could have belonged to the woman he killed back then, whoever she was. At least he didn't have to tell you who your mother was if you ever asked him, you were made in a pod chamber in his laboratory after all.
It may not seem like it but Dottore is proud to have you as his child. Aside from the new opinion and perspective he benefited from you, you grew on him and made him care for you.
'Father's little helper' is the nickname Dottore would coo at you whenever you assisted him with his experiments.
The segments treated you as their little sibling, making sure you're safe from harm. Doesn't matter if they get injured themselves because they can handle it but you on the other hand, are more fragile than them.
Dottore promised himself that he would never make you experience the things he went through in his past. He would never make you feel like a monster like he had endured back then.
Some would call you the second harbinger's apprentice, others would call you his pet.
The harbingers however, calls you Dottore's legacy.

Cross Guild romance AU -
Buggy makes his own explosives, which doesn't sound all that important until you sit back and think of the ramifications and knowledge required for that. Buggy is damn good with chemistry, math, physics, and I bet he was the brain to Shanks's brawn on the Oro Jackson; he'd probably have been all over Crocus whenever he could to learn more about anything and everything.
Crocodile and Mihaw don't really put the two together, given that they see Buggy primarily as an idiot and coward. It's when an epidemic spreads on the island that some odd things click into place-
Buggy has forgone the big costume, is in comfy and sturdy clothes. His face is painted minimally, hair tied into a tight bun, bandana on, and he's working side by side with the medical professionals. He's elbows deep in checking vitals, organizing charts, and even synthesizing medications. More members are sick than not, and they go under a near-quarantine lock down to handle the illness. Between working in the medical tents and taking care of his people, Buggy has also had a hand in organizing for resources to be sent and delivered.
Neither Croc nor Hawk had even considered some of the balls Buggy has gotten rolling. They both have very strong immune systems, so they rarely face or think of illness or sickness as something to prepare for or to account for, but this just exploded one day seemingly without warning, and the clown had a plan in motion by eevening.
It's at this point that they begin to wonder if maybe there's something more to their Chairman than they first thought...
((Bonus points, they catch Buggy coming back from a long shift at the medtent, sent off by the other's to get some rest, so he's just at that sweet spot of tired enough to lose filter. They ask about the medicines, and Buggy goes on a mini infodump about chemicals, hormones, enzymes, antioxidants and antibiotics, mentions that he and a few others already have a few batches baking, and sleepily chuckles about how "the simpler ones seem to work well so far, thank goodness. I was worried... *yawn* that I'd have to dip into my supplies for my testosterone... *falls asleep at the table*.
Croc just becomes the Spiderman meme of "TRANS???" when Buggy wakes up))
I LOVE this is an understatement, this is so good!!! I love Competent!Buggy so much!!! Why can't the clown be a fucking genius while being clown-failure babygirl he is?
Buggy having a plan by evening is because he has so much anxiety, I mean, look at the poor clown! It's always the things that he didn't think of that happens that gets him in trouble. But this, he can do this. I also love the headcanon, that Buggy learn a lot of things from Crocus, so he has this in the bag!
It would be funny if Buggy could be fine in a really bad pandemics, but the flu and whatever the happened near Laugh-Tale is his biggest sickness problems. What am I saying, back to this cool ask!
Buggy being competent because he doesn't want his crew to die or get really ill, not because he needs them to work, but because he wants them healthy and happy. Buggy forgoing the pillow onesie for something better, and not taking that much time on his makeup is so good, that just shows how he priorities his Nakama before himself is so cute! I have a headcanon that Buggy has a least a Field Medic degree or a Nurse one. Mihawk and Crocodile watching at the sidelines is what I see them doing, because like the clown's being competent and they see there's not much they can do in this.
Yes, on Buggy rambling on and on about things he does, I want Buggy to infodump so hard. Like really really hard, Buggy could go on and on about things that interests him for a while.
Buggy is every gender and nothing at all to me, and the spiderman meme with Crocodile is the only one pointing at Buggy while Buggy is confused and sleepy, while Mihawk is just there on the sidelines. Is really funny to me.

I want to know your LU headcanons!
ohHO i will absolutely tell you tysm for asking!! i’ve been wanting to talk abt them for ages but just never got around to it ig ahjdkcka
Time’s actually like 32 and is just really committed to the bit of being ancient
Sky is horrific at making new friends. he grew up with the same small group of people, so he never learned how to make friends with complete strangers because there simply wasn’t the need to. so, when he first starts traveling with the chain, he makes little wooden charms for them because he isn’t entirely sure how else to get close with them. Zelda always enjoyed his woodcarvings, so maybe they will too??
as a result, the entire chain has little trinkets made by Sky. on Legend’s bag there’s charms hanging off the straps, and Twilight wears his as necklaces (both because it looks cool as fuck and it helps the shadow crystal stand out less). yes Wind has specifically commissioned him to make something for Aryll
yeah yeah bunny Legend but consider: the mermaid suit (which I like to think is more of a curse bc get fished pink man <3) giving him some marine animal qualities as well. no matter what tho that bitch is an Ariel kinnie, they’re collecting all the shiny shit they can find
Sky is obsessed with doing puzzles the Right and Proper way, meanwhile Wild cheeses absolutely everything he can
Wind believes in all of those classic pirate superstitions
the witches in Legend’s era adore him. Grandma Syrup dotes on him, Maple is like a teasing older sister, and Irene is like a teasing younger sister. this is where he learned most of his magic skills from, and he takes all potentially enchanted or cursed items to them to check out. he’ll never admit it, but Legend finds lots of comfort in all of them, as they’re one of the few people who’ve stayed in his life this long.
Wild’s a pretty good medic!! during his adventure, he very quickly realized how dangerous infection is, so they learned about a lot of home remedies and medicinal herbs, as well as how to tend to a wound from other travelers at stables and inns. he didn’t really get a choice in learning, considering how he probably got stung or bit by painful insects or accidentally brushed up against painful plants a lot during the early days of their adventure, and thus showed up to stables covered in rashes and hives and such, causing every decent person in the area to flock to them and try to help. their Hyrule is very sweet, okay?
they’re not the only one who’s well acquainted with medicinal herbs, though! while I think all of them would have a basic understanding, Time, Hyrule, Warriors, and Wind would know a lot. dw i’m elaborating
Time quite literally grew up in the forest, was raised by a tree, and had actual forest spirits for siblings—he knows his plants. he and Saria would peel willow bark and collect dandelions together
I like to think that Hyrule being half-fae makes him very sensitive to all magic-based auras, including that of plants, so they’re very good at picking out the healing herbs, even if they’re not quite sure what they’re called
listen ok hear me out about Warriors. young Time was appalled that he knew jackshit about nature and forcefully taught him. also, before modern medicine, medicinal plants were used all the fucking time on the battle field. yarrow, an herb that stops bleeding and prevents infection, is called soldiers’ woundwort because of this. i mention this because he was probably concerned about the health and safety of his troops, so he learned what the medics were doing and using.
Wind grew up on a small, tight-knit island, realistically they would’ve had to have learned how to use the things around them to their fullest advantage. that being said, his knowledge is sort of useless outside of his own era, aside from what he was taught in the war. ok i’m done talking about medicinal herbs now i promise sorry it’s a hobby of mine ahhsjdka
Legend’s terrified of dogs. in Link’s Awakening, the dogs are literally balls on chains with huge mouths full of sharp teeth (basically just Chain Chomps). if you want to get angsty with it: it comes from guard dogs being sent after him on his first adventure. he became a lot less scared to more he spent time with BowBow (the ball and chain dog) but, when he woke up, he got the belief that he could only be safe around a dog in his dreams. he’s pretty damn uncomfortable around Wolfie at first, but after lots of time and learning to trust Twilight, he’s able to slowly overcome his fear. sort of. mostly just with Wolfie. he still hates staying at stables in Wild’s Hyrule.
if Wild doesn’t want to explain/source something he’ll just say it came to him via divine intervention. Sky believes it every single time
I was thinking about Legend’s story a while ago and realized it was kind of similar to Joan of Arc’s so take that as you will. idk if this even counts as a headcanon but i’m putting it here
Warriors and Twilight are really close friends because they both understand the struggles of wrangling dirt worshipping nature freaks. anytime Twilight (lovingly) complains about Wild, Wars will counter with whatever asinine feral child antics young Time got up to and suddenly Twi will feel very blessed and lucky
whenever Four sees someone with their hair in a high ponytail he subconsciously thinks they’re very smart and respectable because Dot always wears her hair in a high ponytail
Hyrule is completely fine with not sleeping on a bedroll. they like the dirt, actually. let them sleep in the dirt.
Legend uses apples in his red potions, both to increase their potency and to make them taste better. he also learned how to enchant apples to be healing on their own so sometimes when someone’s hurt he’ll just shove an apple in their face
uhh so ik this is a lot but this isn’t even close to of all my headcanons so yeah there’s that lmao

BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARUNO SAKURA!!!!!
(The internet in the province is so shitty and I just came home and god, it's like I failed my duty as a hardcore fan of Sakura on not greeting her 😭)
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Tumblr media
MY GIRL IS SO LOOKING PRETTY!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭 (Yes I've been eating up those videos on tiktok, what can I say? its my drug)
Tumblr media
MY BEAUTIFUL GIRL ON HER ELEMENT!!!!
(Credits to the owners of this fantastic artwork)
Okay, I've got goods. I wanna recommend on how badass she is and everyone should read it. Since you know I'm a whore of KakaSaku, be ready that I'll recommend fics with this pairing.
The Sixth Shadow Created by @thinknicht | ao3 ⇀ Holy fuck, this is my shit. My drug that keeps me alive. Sakura on this fic is so badass. Aside from the freaki-delicious KakaSaku moments, the most favorite thing I like the most on this fic are: ❀ the medical aspect ❀ the political settings in Konoha ❀ the fight scenes ❀ the unreliable narrator tag (please be aware on this tag) ❀ Sakura's compassion (this woman is a mother!!!!!!! someone should put a statue of her at the center of Konoha!) ❀ Sakura's emotional conflict towards Kakashi. (It's not pining. This is the most important point.) I have no words—this fic is so *slowly ascends* Silver Lining Created by @thinknicht | ao3 ⇀ This fic has made me think everything. Like I've daydreamed so much. I thought the Fourth Shinobi War, Kaguya, Naruto and Sasuke, that weirdass cocoon, and also Kakashi and Sakura. Thinkie is truly an enigma, fucking hell, her brain is so good.
The Healing Slugs Sage Created by @justabrazilianwriter | ao3 ⇀ Dimension travel. This is it. AHHHHH!! Do you know how happy I am like *punching in the air* and its' KAKASAKU???? Obito throws Sakura in a different dimension where medical knowledge is so stunted due to the absence of Tsunade's existence. I know Obito cares about Sakura, but I can't help to thank the man of being a matchmaker HAHAHA!
The Idol Created by sassafrassing | ao3 ⇀ Do you know how many times I read this???? Do you how many times I type this title in the search box whenever I open my chrome??? This fic is so glorious. Two broken souls were ready to end their lives, but fate strings them together that blooms for a second chance. Holy shit, I love the scene where Sakura caress Kakashi's hair as he laid down on her lap. AHHHHH!!! I whisper scream when Kakashi decide to go back at the field to save his team and like—AHHHHH!!!
A Four Week Class in Flirting, Seduction, and Bagel Making Created by @goldfishlover73 | ao3 ⇀ Talking about tension and baking, what a dangerous combination lmaooo! I smiled so stupidly when Kakashi watch Sakura as if there is no people in the room—and oh fucking god, the frencchhhhhh!!!
The Fall Created by BelleDayNight | ao3 ⇀ I would like to thank the discord server scarecrows and cherryblossoms for this theme. This fic is so chef's kiss. Fallen angel Kakashi??? And the Dark Kakashi tag???? Perfection 👌
This beautiful AU and Run with the Hares (Hunt with the Hounds) of @brighteuphony ⇀ Let's start with the former which it held my love (because Sakura's hair is so fluffyyyyyy!!!!!!! and she's so badass holy fuck) and Im so hyped on the latter tbh! It only has 1 chapter, but I held my sanity so tight on not to read it for now.
That's all for now. There are lots lots of KakaSaku fics, but these fics has grab me by the throat and read it.
Anyways, happy birthday Haruno Sakura! 💖💖💖🌸🌸🌸🌸

About Julian
In my post About Dorian I mentioned how people in the fandom typically reduce the M6 into one or two personality traits. I’ll be talking about Julian today and the fandom's treatment of him!
I'm going to try and keep this factual and not opinionated, nothing like “he should only be like this” and more like “this is what he is in game, but people show him like this” 
It's gonna be a long post so if you don't want to get into the topic, or don't feel like reading something long then go ahead and scroll by! I don't mind! 
And if you want to make this a civilized discussion then i don't mind talking and hearing others points out either!
So let's go!
Julian is a Doctor who went to Parka to learn medicine and got most of his experience on battle fields while he apprenticed under Nazali. He started up his own clinic in Vesuvia and ended up being hired by the palace to work on the red plague cure, eventually treating Lucio himself. 
After the apprentice died he was stricken with grief, eventually he had an affair with Asra but it didn’t exactly last. He soon found a cure in the form of killing Lucio through sickly hallucinations of the hanged man. 
Julian is a smart man, who often blames himself for things that were not his fault, even putting himself at risk with no evidence simply to save others or because he feels guilty. He loves people with his whole being and yet doesn't trust himself to be around them as he thinks he’ll hurt them with again no evidence. 
So tell me why most of the Arcana fandom will portray him as, for lack of a better word, idiotic and whoreish. 
I know Nyx Hydra poked fun at Julian a few times, mentioning that he likes to use leeches or make him kinky, but that is simply not his whole personality.
Yes, he can be flustered easily, and easy to arouse, and a masochist. But he is also lovey dovey, and soft and mushy and loves with his whole heart not just his dick.
And he literally went to school, i know its a big joke that he simply doesn't know what a medical school is but he literally went to one… and even if he didnt and there's no evidence of that he was at least mentored by Nazali who definitely did go to school. 
Now again i'm not saying he can't be horny, oh on the contrary he is horny, for someone he loves, not just a stranger. And by all means he's not the smartest man in the world, he actively struggles to comprehend magic and the Arcana realms but that's because he is smart with science and medicine! 
And yes you can write porn without plot with him, he doesn't have to show off his undying love in every single thing he's in. and yes you can make him marvel and question magic and still show his smarts in reality. He literally tries to use logic in the tower's realm and figures out that the realm is looped by testing out his hypothesis. 
All I'm saying is that a lot of people reduce his character when he really is rich in personality, and hopefully this will help bring some light as to what his character might look like more fleshed out. 
Another point I want to touch, is Julian as a background or side character. I’ve written a fanfic that was focused on my Mc, Asra, my friends Mc, and Julian. But my friends Mc and julian were supporting cast, so Julian wasn’t as fleshed out as Asra, but i didn’t reduce him to only horny or kinda dumb whenever he was “on screen” his traits just didn’t show as much as it would if he was a main character.
So what should we take away from this? 
Well, Julian can be horny and isn't the smartest man in the world, but he is much more than that! He's loving and cares so much about the people close to him, he's smart and doesn’t know much about magic but is willing to try and figure it out with the knowledge he has. He gives his whole self to someone, his heart and body. And he does not need to constantly show these traits in depth especially if he's mostly a side character in someone's story. 
Julian is a lovely character, and I would love to do an analysis of him after I re-do his route, but I think this is good enough for now.
Of course you can all do what you'd like with him, but when it becomes prevalent that the fandom is mostly thinking of him in a reduced state it becomes a little saddening, and it's good to remind ourselves that he's not all horny and unknowing! 
Feel free to give your reasoning for making him more horny, since i’ll be honest i don't think as many people think they’re dumbing him down. If anything I think Lucio might be dumbed down more, but I definitely notice the dumbing down of Julian too.

Stair Fall (Brothers x GN!MC)
Tumblr media
Hurt + Comfort 💔
Warning - stair fall, broken hip, surgery/medical operation
Not thoroughly proofread
Also, please forgive me if I get anything wrong about human body or medical terms.
Tumblr media
“If anything happens, summon us immediately.” Lucifer reminded you.
“Alright, I know, mom.” You teased Lucifer. The eldest glare at you before his eyes turned into just-you-wait-i’m-going-to-punish-you-later-for-this glare.
“Good luck dealing with those nobles.”
“Alright, we’ll be going.”
You gave each brothers a kiss before they had to board a personal carriage to go to the Demon Lord’s Castle for a high-ranking demon-only ball. Lucifer said it was so important that none of them could excuse themselves and stay at home with you.
That was the backstory of how you got the whole House of Lamentation to yourself for the next few hours, maybe until dawn if the ball got dragged on.
After a few hours of doing what you like in the House, including playing and partying with Cerberus, Henry 2.0 and Satan’s secret pet cats, which involved preventing the felines from eating the fish, you decided to turn in and head to bed.
I guess the ball gets dragged on. You said within yourself as you climbed the gigantic staircase.
Your exhaustion became more dominant over you. You yawned as you continued to go up the stairs. Suddenly, you felt nothing but air under you step.
Oh shit. You knew you had misstepped. You lost your balance and even though you tried your best to regain it, you failed and fell down the stairs miserably.
In your moment of falling, the images of the brothers appeared in your mind, along with two words, “Save me!”
“Ouch.” Asmo yelped as he dropped his glass of Demonus. All the nobles nearby stared at him with curiosity. But Asmo had no time to care about how he looked in their eyes, he had a strong connection with you and he knew something bad had happened to you. Asmo turned to his brothers for confirmation and when he saw that they had the same expression when looking at each other, he knew his feeling was right.
“Paimon, tell Diavolo we have to leave right now and take care of everything here.” Lucifer ordered his butler.
“Yes, my Lord. Do I need to get the carriages?”
“No need.” Lucifer said as he dashed out of the ball with his brothers. Lucifer, Mammon, Asmo & Beel, who carried Belphie, spread their wings and flew away. Satan turned into his unicorn-like true demon form and galloped away. While Levi used dive into the earth and swam away easily like how normal people swim in the water.
Just under a few minutes, all the seven reached the House. As they rushed inside, they found you lying on the ground, at the end of the stairs, probably unconscious.
“Don’t touch them.” Satan shouted when the others rushed to you. “You could make their injuries worse. Check if they’re still conscious.”
“MC, can you hear me?” Lucifer called, but no reply, only your hard breath could be heard.
“Asmo, call Solomon.”
Tumblr media
“How is MC?” Lucifer asked, trying to be as calm as possible. He needed to. If he freaked out, it would affect his brothers too.
“Simeon and Luke have healed the wounds on MC that are within their capabilities….” Solomon reported your’s current situation to the brothers.
“I’m sensing a ‘but’ here.” Levi said.
“You are correct, Levi. MC’s hip bone cracked and we need to get them to a human hospital for a surgery.”
“Can’t ya just treat them, Solomon?” Mammon shouted.
“Sorry, Mammon. I’m a sorcerer, not a doctor. I have knowledge in the medical field but it’s not my expertise. I have done all I could to help MC.”
“I understand. Thank you, Solomon. We owe you a lot.”
“Don’t mention it. MC’s important to me too.” Solomon said as he prepared to leave. “Also, one more thing.”
“What is it?”
“In the worst case scenario, MC will have to use a wheelchair for the rest of their life.”
Solomon’s words were thunder sound beside the brothers’ ears. Some of them didn’t even believe in what they just heard themselves.
“This is a joke, right? Solomon, tell me this is a cruel joke of yours.” Belphie was the one to react first, even though it was denial and negative.
“I wish it were. But it’s the truth. Though, as I said, it’s the worst case scenario, so we should be hurry up and take MC to the hospital to avoid it.”
“No, this is a lie.” Sloth mumbled as he sat down, tightening his grip over his pillow. Seeing the scene, Beel couldn’t help but going over and hugging his twin to comfort him.
“I will go back to the Demon Lord’s Castle to talk to Diavolo to get MC to a hospital in the human world. The rest of you, go prepare things that MC might need. Mammon, you stay beside them.” Lucifer ordered as he left the House immediately.
None of the demons complained. They all went to do what they were ordered.
Tumblr media
“Doctor, please help.” Mammon shouted as he ran to the reception, making everybody in the hospital to look at him. Following behind him were you on a stretcher and the other six brothers.
“Please calm down and tell me what happened?” The nurse at the reception desk asked with a gentle voice.
“My partner…my partner…they fell down the stairs and broke their hip.” Mammon said like he was gonna cry like a baby there.
“Alright, let me call the doctors.”
A bunch of doctors and nurses arrived and took you away, one of them stayed to ask Lucifer and Satan some questions, another nurse soon came and guide the brothers away to a waiting area.
Tumblr media
After the mandatory diagnosis and check, the doctors finally pushed you into a surgery room. All of the brothers were frustrated to not be allowed to go inside to see you. Mammon tried to look through the glasses. He did see what was happening inside but he didn't understand what was going on. Satan was walking back and fourth, continuously asking Mammon “How’s the surgery going?”, every single minute. His blood boiled because Mammon couldn’t understand what was going on inside. In the end, Satan realized he could have settled looking through the glass on the other door of the surgery room and he did just that.
For Levi, it was so overwhelming for him that he had to sit down on the floor, even though they was a bench there. The third born kept torturing himself with images of the worst case scenario and worse-than-worst case scenario where you died because the surgery had failed. Though a part of himself kept encouraging him with reasons like “MC is stronger than a hip break, they will definitely beat this.” And two sides fought for domination within Levi’s mind.
Sitting on the bench were Asmo, Beel and Belphie. The fifth born looked extremely haggard, his hair unkempt, his eyes had dark circles under them, completely different from his usual self. Lust was also very tired and he had to lean on Beel’s shoulder.
Leaning on the other side of Beel was Belphie, who was sleeping, but his face kept showing uncomfortable expression like he was in some kind of pain. Images of you lying motionlessly at the end of the staircase kept appearing inside his dream. In his dream, Belphie came back to the House of Lamentation, only to see you lying unconscious on the ground, at the end of the staircase. And at the top of the staircase was himself, another Belphegor, smiling. Belphie asked the other him questions “How dare you harm them?”, or “Why would you push them?”, only to receiver the answer “Why don’t you ask yourself? Because I’m you.” The dream kept repeating and repeating and Belphie couldn’t escape from it.
Normally, Beel would have been devouring something to satiate his hunger at this time. But at this moment, Gluttony had no appetite. He had no desire to eat. He just wanted to know if you would be fine.
Meanwhile, Lucifer had to go back and fourth, from this office to that office to take care of the paperworks, all for your sake. The eldest never liked to do paperwork, he only do it because either out of duty or out of love for someone (and/or his siblings). In this case, it was definitely the latter.
Tumblr media
It was dawn in the human world. Needless to say the last couple of hours were the most hectic one the residents of the House of Lamentation had had since so long ago.
The surgery had been done and the hospital staff pushed you to the recovery room. The brothers intended to follow but the one doctor came and asked them an important question.
“Which one of you is patient MC’s family or partner?”
“Me!” All of them said the same time.
“We all are their family and partners.” Lucifer answered, representing all.
The doctor was surprised at the plural “partners” but he decided not to ask further into the patient’s private life.
“Please follow me.”
The doctor led all 7 of them to his office.
“Doctor, d-do MC have to use a wheelchair for the rest of their life?” Mammon asked immediately after stepping in the office, without letting the doctor having the chance to sit down.
“The operation was a success, so no.”
“How long will it take for them to recover?” This time, it was Lucifer asking.
“1-4 weeks, it depends on MC’s body system. But they won’t be able to walk right away and will need exercises back home to regain the ability of walking. But-.”
“But what?” Satan interjected.
“MC may never regain the same strength and movement they had. They had quite a serious stair fall. They may need a walking cane or frame for the rest of their life.”
Those words made the brothers’ hearts heavy. But well, it’s better than sitting in a wheelchair for the rest of your life.
“It’s also important that the patient’s family must be with them during the recovery process. It will help a lot.”
“Don’t worry, doctor. We will always be with them…forever.”
Epilogue
You opened your eyes inside a hospital room. Beside from the piercing pain due to the surgery, you could barely felt your body from the waist down anymore.
“Lucifer, am I-.”
“No, MC, you can still use your legs. There was a chance you might lose the use of them forever, but it’s fine now.” Having said that, Lucifer began to explain to you what you needed to know.
You looked at your legs and just the thought of never be able to use your legs again saddened you greatly. The thought soon overwhelmed you as tears escaped your eyes.
“It’s alright, MC. We are here with you.” Asmo said as he kissed your cheek.
“Yeah, all of us are.”
You looked around to see your boys looking at you with reassuring smiles and gentle and encouraging eyes.
“Thank you. You guys are the best.” You said as you wiped the tears on your face.
Whatever happens, you know for sure the boys will always be with you.
Author’s words
Hope you guys like it :3

On the subject of Lovecraftian "madness" and ableism
A lot of Lovecraft's fans and defenders like to say some shit along this line: "Lovecraftian madness isn't mental illness! It's when you see something your brain wasn't wired to understand/when aliens start influencing your mind/(insert circumstance here)!"
This is an incredibly funny thing for me to see, because what all these folks are forgetting is that in The Call of Cthulhu, the story that introduced everyone to the trope of "seeing weird alien visions and losing your mind about it", Lovecraft never referred to this phenomenon as madness. He uses the word in the story, certainly, but not in this context - it appears as a sort of synonym for 'nonsense', just like in the title and story of At the Mountains of Madness.
So what does he call it? Well...
The cuttings largely alluded to outré mental illnesses and outbreaks of group folly or mania in the spring of 1925.
On March 23d, the manuscript continued, Wilcox failed to appear; and inquiries at his quarters revealed that he had been stricken with an obscure sort of fever… …His temperature, oddly enough, was not greatly above normal; but his whole condition was otherwise such as to suggest true fever rather than mental disorder.
The press cuttings, as I have intimated, touched on cases of panic, mania, and eccentricity during the given period.
New York policemen are mobbed by hysterical Levantines on the night of March 22–23.
So we have a bevy of terms here, most of which suggest (or deliberately avoid suggesting, in the second example) some kind of mental dysfunction. Most importantly for this post, Lovecraft specifically, explicitly, used the term "mental illness". This isn't a case of modern readers misinterpreting archaic language. He was fully capable of writing "mental illness" when that was what he meant, and he did so.
So was this ableist? I mean, yeah. Lovecraft refers to the effects of Cthulhu's psychic broadcast as "mental illness", "mania", and "hysteria". None of those are really appropriate terms to be slinging around outside their proper context (though in the case of "hysteria", the proper context is "never", given its misogynist origin).
However, I do believe I should speak in defense of Lovecraft here. Not because he didn't do anything wrong, but because this was one of those moments when he was, in fact, being a product of his time. The 1920s were, to put it mildly, not great for the mentally ill. The entire field of mental health was still in its infancy, and even the cutting-edge knowledge coming from there was inaccurate, deeply harmful, and marginalizing. Which isn't to say that it's fine that he did this, but you can at least skip adding it to your list of Reasons Lovecraft Was A Giant Piece Of Shit And I Hate His Guts.
Besides, using period-typical language isn't even close to the most ableist thing Lovecraft did in this story. No, the real kicker is when he declared that one of the demographics most vulnerable to Cthulhu's psychic outburst was patients in asylums:
And so numerous are the recorded troubles in insane asylums, that only a miracle can have stopped the medical fraternity from noting strange parallelisms and drawing mystified conclusions.
I mean sure, Lovecraft considered himself part of a demographic that would have been affected - seemingly the only people to get through this event unscathed were total normies - but given that he also singled out Jews, colonized Indians, and folks living in Haiti and Africa, I have to say damn it, dude.
Anyway, yes. Lovecraft was being ableist when he wrote this shit, and I'd appreciate if more people just put on their big boy pants and made the effort to account for that in their derivative works instead of trying to dance around the issue by claiming it never happened.

Get To Know My OC
I am so excited to do this one! Thank you, @writernopal, for the tag! Go read her Super cool post Here.
Jemmah, I choose you!
Jemmah rolls her eyes and reluctantly follows my voice down a hallway lined with white concrete walls covered in timeless murals. His clunky platforms tack against the cracked, yellowed tiles. The witch makes her way into the room at the end of the hall labeled “Interviewing Room” in black Lobster font. There, she seats herself, cross-legged, in a folding metal chair in front of a thick, wooden table across from me, who stands behind a one-way mirror. He is alone, except for a friendly spotlight that shines in his face. The faint sound of the Family Feud theme song plays in the speakers above.
“I know you’re there. I’m not stupid.” Jemmah squints her eyes from the harsh light. I tell him why he’s here and that he’s the perfect candidate to answer these questions. She obliges, saying under her breath that once this is over, for me to never contact her again, or else I’ll regret it.
1. Are you named after anyone?
Not to my knowledge, no.
2. When was the last time you cried?
What kind of question is that?
3. Do you have kids?
Of course, not! Jemmah looks offended, as if this question were indicative of his age.
4. Do you use sarcasm?
To some it’s sarcasm, but to Silas, it’s a form of endearment. I have to watch what I say around them so that they don’t misconstrue.
5. What's the first thing you notice about people?
Usually what clothes they have on. Big talk coming from someone who wears a lot of holographic clothing, I know. But if I see one clashing pattern or color, your first impression is as good as ruined.
6. What's your eye color?
Turquoise, Jemmah says as she squints in the mirror, over five feet away. They look black when my pupils are completely dilated. (note: Jemmah has pupils like a cat’s)
Scary movies or happy endings?
Don’t tell Binaca this, but I actually don’t mind the gushy movies she puts on during movie night. He looks off to the side for a moment, realizing that Bianca is probably tuning in.
8. Any special talents?
Well, I can pour a perfect shot, I can craft pretty potent healing elixirs, and I can dance in ten-inch heels. So I’d say I have a few talents up my sleeve. Jemmah crosses her arms, looking rather proud of herself.
9. Where were you born?
Not exactly in this city, more on the outskirts. She nods, as if any of that made a lick of sense. Jemmah isn’t too fond of sharing private information.
10. What are your hobbies?
Well, I work at a bar called Indie’s Bar and Thrills, but you’re asking what I do outside of work. I like to paint landscapes, go to wine and painting events, cook, and read.
11. Have you any pets?
Yes, I have a white ball python named Leone! Jemmah flashes a smile, but is quick to hide it with the paper held in front of her. But if you were referring to the demon in my house, then yes, I suppose I have two pets to look after… Jemmah grimaces to himself.
12. What sports do you play/have played?
I’m not really a sports person, but I do occasionally dance at Indie’s.
13. How tall are you?
Five feet and eleven inches, the last I checked.
14. Favorite subject in school?
Currently, I am pursuing the art of potion-making. It’s a craft I have been studying for my entire life. Everyone tells me I’d be the youngest person to ever have received such a license, but they don’t know the half of it.
15. Dream job?
I like my bartending job at Indie’s and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. But if I had to choose another job, it would probably be something in the medical field. Healing is what I am good at, no matter how you slice it. Jemmah doesn’t seem to notice her pun, but luckily I do, and call her out on it. She fights really hard not to smirk and says how stupid a pun it was.
Just as promised, I release Jemmah from the room, and cut all forms of contact with him. Everyone give it up for our favorite witch! The Family Feud theme starts back up again as the witch hastily makes her way out of the room, cursing under her breath.
Tagging (as soft as a feather): @hihopelessromantics, @another-white-hole, @yedithwrites, @imaginarie-fun, @new-royston-cursebreakers, @charlesjosephwrites, @rickie-the-storyteller, @sabels-small-sphere, @doublegoblin, @hydrangea-gas, @digitalsatyr23, @withlovelunette, @akindofmagictoo, and really Anyone because I couldn’t tag Everyone, and plus I love learning about everyone's ocs! This is a very Open tag!

Here's a question I'll probably have to sleep with one eye opened for. Rip my poor soul, I know the Varia are gonna hate me for this one 🤣 But I thought it was fun, so *shrugs*
If the Varia members could have any other occupation that isn't mafia based,what would it be? (This question includes everyone *waves at the ocs you have*)
Oh boy is that ever a question, well that's pretty easy for the OCs at least So I'll start with them. For the non-ocs take em with a grain of salt because there's no perfect fit past what they're already in there is going to be HELL with them either way.
Vittorio is the absolute easiest, assuming a weapons manufacturer is off the table because while that can exist outside of the mafia, that is very similar to what they are already. But any sort of mechanical work would be a job they'd love.
Silenziatore is a bit not quite what you'd expect. See Silen absolutely loves animals, even tries to play with the box animals when their owners aren't around. He's decently good with people and if it paid decently well he'd be pretty okay with working at a pet shop or even a pet groomers. You're not supposed to try and cuddle the animals at the zoo even as a zoo keeper so it's probably best he doesn't work there however.
Nascosta Okay that's a doozy, there's actually a lot of jobs they could work if they weren't so ready to beat the shit out of people for slights. But they absolutely love attention, both for their strength and looks as well as showing the fuck off, are a fantastic actor and fighter, so the logical conclusion? They'd make an amazing wrestling heel. Not the immediately thought until you remember they need to be as physically strong as the people they mimic and they sure are able to mimic the other varia executives. They are hiding muscles with their mist flames.
Tyr is really funny, especially since I actually ended up with an au recently with it, because it's out of left field. See no job except the one he currently has would every work out for him so he'd be deeply unsatisfied in everything. So he'd actively seek out a job he absolutely hated but was good enough at to keep, because he's the type of person if he can't be happy he may as well be downright miserable. So he'd end up in a library, working in a quiet little place, shelving books dealing with people, so on. It's a jarring sight for sure, but he at least does a good job
Now onto the Canons, again the easiest to place first:
Honestly I think the Levi could thrive in any work environment, he is constantly early, always on top of things, his only issue is he's sometimes a little clumsy and can occasionally get lost without some sort of guiding system, like in the drama cds. Of course I don't think he'd like an office job and probably needs something more physical as with most of Varia honestly. He's probably do a good job in a more government position having to deliver documents and things.
Mammon literally anything that handles money and gets paid a lot, fuck they could probably just be an accountant, or maybe run a fucking insurance firm you KNOW they would get so much out of that. Life insurance? you know it. Good god would they bleed you out. I think that's too much power to give.
Lussuria's pretty straightforward too, I mean in his little interview section he was apparently the youngest body building champion, he could easily go back to those sorts of championships if he wanted, or maybe some sort of modeling career. He has some good options for sure. there's also another potential depending on how much medical knowledge you believe Lussuria to have, he could potentially be a pathologist.
Squalo, ohhh Squalo, see I have, funny answers for these ones and more serious ones. Though with his tolerance which while yes he's constantly being pissed off he's also just. constantly being prodded by his co-workers he probably could make it in anything literally less stressful than the current job he has. But regardless, with his sword skills, either competition wise(he really could be an Olympic level fencer if his dumb ass would like be satisfied with not killing his opponent), or teaching wise are potentials. I did have a really funny au where Squalo lost his memories and ended up working at an aquarium, mostly taking care of the sharks.
Now Xanxus and Bel, oh god these two. Buddy, buddy I don't think they can HAVE jobs outside of the Varia. Do they have some form of skills that can be used in other jobs? absolutely. Can they tolerate/take orders from other people? absolutely the fuck NOT. The best you can do with Xanxus is stick him in SOME sort of leadership role where he won't be bothered and pray to god he doesn't come and kill you anyway. Bel? Dear lird. I don't even think you can do THAT.
He needs to have some level of respect for the people above him and unless you're a violent fuck like Xanxus is that sure isn't happening. He may be a prince but I don't even think he's anywhere fit to be in the position of a leader.(I know Rasiel would agree with me there). Those two are best fit right where they are and honestly it's doing the world a favour by keeping them there.
Edit: Upon further consideration if we consider freelance an option, Bel could likely work as an Ice sculptor with his skills and thanks to being able to be choosy once he gets as a popular option he'd be able to do what commissions he thinks are cool.

Hi!!! :) can you please write for the mercs’ s/o who is very educated on things like history or plants!
as a fellow plant and history enjoyer, this was quite fun to write :D
mercs x reader who studies history and plants
SCOUT
- when he was young, scout got little to no education. as a result, he kinda grew to have this slight bit of scorn for people that are very smart and educated...not you though! he has so much respect for you! :D he was never curious about history or plants, but after he noticed how much you know about these two topics, he was amazed! scout really likes it when you talk to him about the things you know!! and even though it might seem like he's simply passively listening, he actually remembers a lot of the stuff you say
PYRO
- thinks you're so cool and smart!!! they aren't very interested in history, but they really like flowers, so they often ask you random questions about plants and stuff :]] also, they really like when you ramble about the things you're educated on. like, you can be explaining plant photosynthesis or talking about some war that took centuries ago, and pyro is gonna sit there listening to you with stars in their eyes... they don't understand half the things you're saying, but they admire you nonetheless!
SOLDIER
- at first, soldier doesn't think too much of your knowledge. like yeah, it's impressive, but he's the type of person to prefer brawn over brain, if you know what i mean....HOWEVER, that changes completely if you're educated on american history (i mean what else did you expect xD) soldier is able to listen to you talk about american history for hours. so much knowledge...he thinks you must be the smartest person on earth! because of this, he often brags about you to others!! isn't it totally awesome that he has such a cool and clever s/o? he's sure everyone is jealous!
HEAVY
- he's actually really smart, and even though he's not educated on the things that you are, he does enjoy having intellectual conversations with you! his favorite thing to discuss is definetely history, he loves to learn from you and in return he can tell you some bits and pieces of russian history if you're interested. heavy really admires you for being so educated!!
DEMOMAN
- LOVES to listen to you talk. demo always shows genuine curiosity and has frequent questions about your field of education. he always listens intently and actually remembers a lot of the stuff you teach him about!! and because you're on his mind 24/7, he often quotes the things you said in front of the others, which is pretty sweet of him :) it's also really funny when he's quoting the things you said while he's totally wasted. since he can't speak or think properly, he mixes it up and says complete nonsense instead lol. one time he got really drunk and said that george washington was the first king of poland
ENGINEER
- he's pretty chill about it, like YES omg he thinks it's very cool that you're so smart and educated about the things you enjoy, but this man would admire you even if your brain was the size of a peanut yk. he loves your voice and how happy you sound when you talk about your interests, so he often lets you passionately ramble to him while he works on his machinery :D
MEDIC
- so amazed!!! medic was never much interested in plants or history, but he picked up a huge liking towards both of these topics after you started talking about them with him. he actually manages to remember like 90 % of the stuff you tell him about, so he often repeats whatever you told him to his patients. it can be something silly and trivial, like the fact that bamboo grows really fast, but he always seems so happy and excited to share the things he learned from his wonderful s/o!!!
SPY
- think your knowledge is really, REALLY admirable. spy has huge respect for smart people (since most of the time he's surrounded by idiots lol). he knows you're passionate about plants and history, so from time to time he asks you random questions, partly to show support for your passion and partly because he's genuinely curious to hear what you have to say. one simple question usually turns into more and suddenly you guys spend the entire afternoon talking about the medieval bubonic plague, how fun!
SNIPER
- sniper is a smart dude, but more in a practical way than academic, so he didn't really see the appeal in your specific fields of knowledge at first. though over time he realizes that your knowledge is actually...well, cool. entertaining, even. he finds himself enjoying listening to you talk about whatever comes to your mind and quite often joins you in a conversation. he doesn't know much about history, but he's an outdoorsy person, so he knows a lot of things about nature. he loves to teach you AND learn new things from you aswell. also he's secretly very impressed by how smart you are ;D

WOOOO MEN
I HAVE THOUGHT OF A THING.
Engie with an Auto-mechanic reader. Two different fields that are similar! I’m a sucker for Engie rn so expect a LOT of Engie. like a lot. mmm southern man.
-(texas) medic anon
Also I apologize again. don’t know why, I just do.
I love the intro of “WOOO MEN” because GOD I feel that [homosexual] also YES YES MORE ENGIE REQUESTS HE IS SO FINE GRGRHHR
Also!! No need to apologize!!
Engineer with an auto-mechanic reader
he's so excited to talk about this line of work with you.
The two of you bond almost instantly, showing each other work you've both done in the past, blue prints, hell- engineer even shows you his gunslinger and how it works!
He does get quite flustered though if you touch it, a nervous little chuckle leaving him as he tries to be humble in the face of your fascination and praise.
He’d love to share his knowledge with you- or vice versa! however there is a good chance he already knows the stuff you're talking about, but he won't admit it just for the sake of hearing you talk more.
He’d love to work on you with literally anything, even if it's fixing up a old car- He’s become incredibly fond of your company and just how intelligently you speak!
He may even surprise you with a new toolbox or other utilities that could make your job way easier! it’s his little show of affection that doesn’t cross his fear of being too overbearing.
It deserves to be said once again, but if you were to even remotely compliment him or his work? he’s a blushing mess, he takes a lot of pride in what he does and it’s hard to stay so modest when you’re being this sweet to him!
Needless to say the two of you get a long quite well, and he’s hoping to work with you even more!

Mechs & Torchwood Crossover AU dump!
So, a few days ago I came up with this very silly niche little crossover AU of The Mechanisms meets Torchwood (essentially human/mortal Mechs & they work for Torchwood Cardiff instead of the Canon team) and I've been yelling about it since because it's my two biggest Special Interests in one so here's a list of what I think everyone's role on the team would be and how they'd do-
-Carmilla was the 'original' team leader and the one who hired everyone (with the exception of Marius, Raphaella and Lyf). 'Mysteriously' dissappeared one day, everyone has their own little theories about the where and how. Until her disappearance she also functioned as the team's doctor/medic
-Jonny was the first she hired, probably because she saw him fist fight a weevil or something. Originally Second-in-command but since the Docs disappeared he's officially in charge now. He has no clue what he's doing, he doesn't know how to properly lead, but still refuses to give up being in charge
-Nastya was hired for her technological knowledge and engineering skills but ends up doing most of the actual leading after Jonny was put in charge (she's their braincell /lh). She also developed and installed a fully sentient AI, Aurora, into the Hub (think Hera from Wolf 359).
-Aurora is,, just taking care of her silly little humans blocking off their PCs if they work on them for too long, ordering food online if they haven't eaten in a while etc, because yes, those are her silly little humans and they keep forgetting their self care or basic human needs
-Ashes was hired for Hub security and finances (aka copious safety hazards and tax fraud the first months, no one knows what Carmilla was thinking when hiring them or keeping them around, but Jonny and Nastya were fond of them enough not to question it too much) but eventually ended up mostly being a field agent
-Ivy naturally works as their archivist and along with Raphaella does most of the research. She's also in charge of the Hubs artifact storage and typing up reports
-Brian didn't actually get hired, he came through the rift (like in "Out Of Time") from the past (very far past), where he worked as a sort-of "witch" doctor. Carmilla decided to let him stay at the Hub for a while as they didn't know where he could go and she decided retconning him might be too risky (as he doesn't know anything about the modern age and retcon wouldn't change that). Eventually he ended up being an actual part of the team, mostly as a field agent. Somehow he ends up driving (he does not know how to properly drive, but their captain can't captain and their doctor can't doctor so he thinks it's fair enough, no one's died *yet* it's fine /lh). Despite having worked as a doctor before he doesn't on the team, as his knowledge in modern medicine is near non-existent for the first while, and they still had Carmilla
-The Toy Soldier isn't officially part of the team, it's more like. That One Alien-Or-Whatever-It-Is (None of them are really sure) that everyone just looked at and went "Yea OK so it's not dangerous so it doesn't need to be locked up or neutralized and it DOES need a place to stay so let's just keep it". While not being an official employee, it does do work around the Hub, which mostly consists of bringing people tea or food while they work or tidying up after the ADHD Gremlins that is most of the team (it finds a lot of joy in both, truly, it's just happy to be involved /lh)
-Tim got hired for his knowledge and experience with weapons, mostly by Jonny's request, after he saw Tim and his best friend Bertie handle themselves in a gunfight against an alien. Bertie died in the gunfight and Tim blames Jonny for not helping sooner (Cue them recreating that one scene from Fragments where Owen just tries to beat the living shit out of Jack) but they eventually manage to get along
-Marius was the first to be hired after Carmillas disappearance, originally to replace her as medic, though Jonny didn't really care about proper procedure or professionalism enough at the time to notice that his medical degree was entirely forged (nor did he care too much after it was discovered by Ivy). He does have medical experience, but it's just barely enough to patch someone up in case of emergency. While he does officially function as the team's medic, he more often works as a field agent working with Raph on the experimenting part of research (like the Rat Jam thing, because I can very very much see him have the exact same delighted reaction as Owen /lh)
-Raphaella was hired out of a UNIT cell (similar to Tosh), that she was in for a history of highly unethical experiments, including on human and alien subjects. Jonny mostly hired her for that, having gotten the recommendation from Ivy after she found Raphs file and being fascinated by it. Also because they were very much in need of an actual scientist.
-Lyfrassir pretty much get hired the same way Gwen did, still working as a cop when they run into Torchwood. They run into Marius, Ivy and Raphaella while those three are on a field research mission, and the trio takes quick liking to them after they help catch an alien specimen with surprising casuallity. They end up getting dragged back to the hub and Marius pesters and convinces Jonny that the team could really use their abilities and contacts until he actually hires them. They are more or less the least fucked up (morals wise) person on the team and much like Gwen help to "humanize" the team a bit more
(if this does well or people actually wanna hear more about this silly little crossover AU I have a lot more thoughts about it and am currently trying to write this into a fanfiction /lh)

Hi!! Love your writing style and Saw the dadspy and hey haha I just cut contact with my dad!!Completely unrelated can you please write some headcanons about medic being a good father figure to a teen (16+ so not a lil baby) training under him? Idk how sane this sounds as I am under influences but could you mix in some emotional vulnerability or like them hugging? Sorry for the weird request and thank you sm!!
Hi, anon! Yes, you can, dear. Thank you for the request and don't worry, it's not weird at all. I hope you're doing alright. :)
Dad!Medic with a young adult reader 💜

Dad!Medic and GN!Young adult!reader

You joined the mercenaries as medical support, mostly to help poor Medic who started to complain to Ms Pauling about the other mercs, saying, “Those dummkopfs can’t stay alive for even a few minutes!”
The original plan was for you to just operate the Medigun on the field and that was it but, of course, Medic had other plans for you.
When you two first met, you immediately started discussing about all kinds of medical stuff. You were fascinated by Medic’s accomplishments. I mean, who wouldn’t be? Even the most renowned doctors all over the world haven’t managed to accomplish half of what he has.
Given the fact that you shared his passion for medicine, thirst for knowledge, and were relatively new to the medical field, he took you in as his disciple straight away. 
He taught you all about his different inventions and theories. Medic was more interested in the end product than the process of how he got there so he left the science and whatnot for you to figure out. 
You two were the perfect duo. Medic did the crazy brainstorming and experimenting while you examined his impressive messes and made sense of it using the knowledge you got from your medical textbooks. 
Medic enjoyed your company a lot. Finally, someone who could understand him and his wild ideas. The two of you would often stay up late, talking about all kinds of things while sipping your drinks. 
Naturally, Medic eventually began to treat you like his own kid. And although that’s mostly a good thing, it can be a bit annoying, not just for you but also for the other mercs.
The thing about Medic is that he’s very protective of the people he cares about. And I mean really protective. 
If you’re out in battle and you get even just a scratch on your face, Medic will flip out. He’ll be scolding the other mercs for letting you get hurt while hugging you tightly.
He’s not just protective of you in battle. You can bet that he’ll be making sure you eat healthily and avoid unhealthy substances such as alcohol and cigarettes. 
Like I said earlier, when you hang out with him, you two mostly just chat while you eat or drink. You talk about a lot of different things together. Although the topic is usually medical-related, there are those times when you have a heart-to-heart discussion about each other’s lives and feelings. 
Medic shared memories of his childhood and family and so did you. You both feel comfortable talking about personal topics like that with each other.
If you ever tear up while talking about something emotional for you, Medic will bring you in for a hug and pat your back soothingly. “There, there. It’s alright, my dear Täubchen. Thank you for telling me.”
After one of those emotional discussions, when you calmed down after being comforted by him, you gave him a big smile and said, “Thanks, dad.”
You had to start comforting and hugging him instead because tears of joy started streaming down his face after he realised what you said. 
Overall, you two have a very open and loving relationship and are the best of partners in everything. :)

🩹, 🔶, 🤍, and 🤔 for Lath, Noi, and Lavendula (aka my blorbos <3)
THE BLORBOSSSS 💛💛
🩹 ADHESIVE BANDAGE — does your oc have any physical and/or mental disabilities?
lath — after becoming a guardian and in general the only thing of note about him is how wide open his eyes are and the fact that he rarely blinks. it’s a bit odd and there isn’t really an explanation for it lmao. his eyes don’t even hurt or anything he’s just always 👁️👁️
noi — being a vessel means essentially having a entity forcibly share host with your body that can take over whenever they aren’t wearing the disability device (eye patch) so, i’d Kind Of count that as a physical disability since they lose control of their limbs and have been injured bc of it 😥. they have severe ptsd surrounding the incident as well (it’s not pretty) and have night terrors about it :(
lavendula — doesn’t really have any physical or mental disabilities (in the way we think about them).
🔶 LARGE ORANGE DIAMOND — does your oc know cpr? do they have any other medical expertise?
lath — he has a lot of field medical knowledge from being in the militia and a trained soldier and scout for most of his time alive. he also enjoys learning so he tends to accompany the deity of healing and medicine YUTARA on their many errands so he’s picked up some stuff as well. so he does know cpr yes as well as how to stop bleeding, sewing and disinfecting wounds, how to cauterize a wound etc etc.
noi — knows basic first aid but not anything beyond what would be in the instructions of a first aid kit. they learn more on their journey tho!
lavendula — no medical expertise unfortunately. it wasn’t deemed as something important that she as a noblewoman should know :/
🤍 WHITE HEART — what are three of your oc's neutral/questionable traits?
lath — is extremely blunt to the point of being kind of rude LMAO, stares a lot (as mentioned before), fight first questions later type of guy (his oath to MUINENS does make him hesitate a bit but only just. he really doesn’t like being told what to do for better or worse)
noi — lowkey unsympathetic and very awkward when dealing with people’s emotions, gets laser focused and difficult to deter when they’re trying to figure something out for better or worse, stubborn generally speaking
lavendula — the bystander affect is so real with her, tends to be shallow outwardly for her myriad of reasons, can be unintentionally condescending
🤔 THINKING FACE — what are some of your oc's quirks/mannerisms?
lath — 👁️👁️, his face is pretty 😐 or flat unless unless he’s with someone he’s close to (ensio, YUTARA, YLENE, etc), he never fucking sits correctly on ANYTHING. he’s usually crouched or perched on something like a bird. like all guardians have wings yes but he is the most bird of prey-like because tbh he was like that even before he became a guardian. Will climb Anything. he loves being in tall places. he usually stands with his arms crossed but nowadays if ensio isn’t in human form beside him, he keeps a hand on his sword hilt.
noi — pencil or pen always tucked behind their ear. they’re a very restless person they don’t like to sit still especially when they’re thinking so they tend to pace quite a bit. they have a small gap between their teeth that they flick their tongue through when they’re deep in thought. hardly ever smiles but it’s bc i like making all my characters have lowkey flat affect 🤪 however it’s mostly just bc noi’s very serious. they can take a joke with certain people but they take things V Seriously. very much a never let them know ur thoughts they just make a plan and start executing type lol
lavendula — has perfect posture (can balance 4 books on her head comfortably and walk/do tasks) and never slouches, always keeps her hands folded but tends to fiddle with her nails when she’s flustered or nervous. she’s become a master of hiding her “imperfect movements” and keeping her perfect smile and persona in tact so she doesn’t have many outward mannerisms. but she looks Too perfect almost lol. she always laughs behind her hand and never does any gesture loudly.

I couldn’t sleep last night and part of the time I was upset about the Church’s press release related to the overturning of Roe v Wade and the abortion law that took effect in Utah (which has very secret combination vibes because the average person did not think it would be overturned and this law passed without my hearing about it two years before it took effect). I know it’s a very passé topic, but I’m going to try to put my feelings into coherent words.
1) President Nelson is a doctor and should know better than to speak on a field that is not his expertise. OBGYNs and people who have worked in fertility know very well that having a fertilized egg is not what makes a baby. Yes, it is an important ingredient, but number of fertilized eggs doesn’t not equal how many babies you get. It’s not when life starts or people with uteruses would have no hope of being exalted because of how many fertilized eggs our bodies reject. Saying fertilization is when life begins is an insult to everyone with a uterus who struggles with fertility. (And a flat out lie with our current medical knowledge)
2) Life begins at fertilization is not the official Church stance and speaking during a press release as the head of the Church is attempting to change doctrine without going through the proper process (unanimous vote by counsel of prophet and apostles which should include their wives). Abortion is banned because it is “like unto” murder, not because it actually is. Saying life starts at fertilization changes the crime of abortion to be more akin to murder.
3) Regardless of all of the above, the Church is supposed to support religious freedom. We live in an era where a lot of beliefs are not part of an organized religion, but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to have the same rights as people belonging to an organized religion. Abortion is considered vital for women to be equal in society by the majority of Americans. The Church should not be rejoicing in restricting the agency of a large group to live according to their beliefs. It goes against religious freedom, but of course the institution of the Church only supports “religious freedom” which is actually forcing others to live according to my beliefs even if they believe differently.
4) One of the main reasons the Church is not terrible for expecting its members to not have abortions is because of the social safety net that the Church provides. If you can’t afford a doctor, your ward leadership will step in to pay for it and even drive you. If you can’t afford housing, the Church will help you get housing and gainful employment to pay for it. Ward members will help and give free childcare. Unless the Church plans on using its $100 billion to make sure no one lives in poverty, it has no room to expect people outside the Church to live its beliefs (if you ignore the whole religious freedom stuff we supposedly support).
5) Everyone takes for granted how dangerous and risky pregnancy and childbirth are. Yes, we all are because someone took that risk, but people should be allowed to opt out of that risk because medical knowledge has advanced to allow that. Pregnancy is rough. I know media loves cryptic pregnancy stories, but that is the exception instead of the rule. HG is the absolute worst and no one should be forced to go through 9 months of that. And no one should risk their life giving birth if they don’t want to, especially people who already have children to take care of (who also likely know the risks better than before having their first kid as they’ve already gone through it).
6) The whole multiply and replenish the earth stuff works a lot better by persuasion than by force and the scriptures literally say that forcing people to keep commandments means amen to your priesthood (sorry President Nelson, your power diminished by supporting someone forcing people to do something). Living wage, housing first homeless programs, accessible childcare and healthcare, better air quality and communities (ie not car dependent), etc will do so much more to convince people to keep surprise pregnancies than making it illegal to get an abortion. I think a lot of people would have more children if the world was better, but nobody wants to listen to that.
So yeah, the Church needs to do a lot of repenting, including President Nelson. It’s wrong to deny abortions because you think pregnancy is as easy as getting fat and ejaculating and are privileged enough to not see the extent of poverty and how it ruins families. Investing in artificial wombs will do more for birth rates than any abortion ban (as it won’t change the birth rate whereas abortion bans will cause women to opt to be sterilized rather than deal with an unwanted pregnancy). And by their fruits you shall know them, letting young girls die from pregnancy and childbirth is a pretty rotten fruit.
