I also wish to simp over the tieflings😁

So I have a question for you. In your opinion, which would be the fittest class for being each tieflings batchelor partner?

My best friend and I were playing bg3 yesterday (both sipping for Dammon so the conversation was more focused on him) and the question came out.

My bf defended that for our fav blacksmith a paladin would be the best option for going on a date. Cause they're usually loyal to their beliefs, tend to have a kind nature and they're always in need of good armor and weapons. It was paladin for her.

But I differ. I firmly believe that a nice ✨Bard✨ would be the correct answer. And here's why:

1. Dammon is a kind, polite and (probably) organised soul. Most bards have chaotic energy. I believe that a bard partner would be a nice influence on him and vice-versa. He calming his partner when they get too overexcited and them trying to get him out of his comfort zone.

2. They're both artists in a way. I think that a bard would admire and see the beauty in Dammon's job. Maybe even getting curious about it, ask him questions and see him work. He would be so happy. And also Dammon would admire and enjoy the Bard's music, singing, drawing, etc. (whatever bardic gift you got people, it doesn't matter to him. He'll love it)

3. We all know Dammon reads smut and I sincerely cannot picture a more smut reading class than a bard. Like I can perfectly see the scene of the bard discovering "A pleasurable deal" (I think that's the name of it, if not I apologise) and being totally chill about it, read a few pages with all the calm in the world and Dammon finding them out, grabbing the book terribly ashamed of it... Just to see them mock him a little bit to finally say "Hey and if when you finished with it you need any recommendations I have a few that might interest you". (Insert all the fantasy young adult with spice novels here)

And finally but not last:

4. (And this is a more personal one) I have the personal belief that if you play a bard you are personifying the need of a traumatised being who always tries to feel better through music and a charismatic behaviour while being in need of a found family even if you're in denial. I might be wrong, it might be me who plays bards this way but it's just a single theory I have.

But guess what, we're having a Bard here. And what better option to have a family with than Dammon.

I REST MY CASE! THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

🤣🤣🤣But really, I would like to hear your opinion on this debate. If you had to choose what would it be and why?

(All classes are equally nice and fitting, no hate here to any of them👌🏻)

I know that this got long ah so thanks for reading it. I love your blog and I hope that everything goes perfectly well on your day-to-day. Byeee!!💛💛💛💛

🎻- Anon

This is actually a very fun question because I've never actually thought about matching people based on classes.

I agree with both of you that either a paladin or a bard would definitely work well with Dammon thematically. However, I raise the option of him being with an artificer. While I love opposites attract tropes, Dammon is a fiercely proud and passionate man, his dedication to his work is enough to scare off almost anyone. So, who would work best with such a wonderful but independent man? Someone who understands his thinking on a fundamental level. An artificer that knows what it is to be an artisan, to dedicate yourself to 'making', to spend late nights working on various blueprints. I just feel like he'd work well with someone that understands him and doesn't fault his dedication to his work.

For Zevlor, I'm a big supporter of the Zevlor x cleric idea. I feel like as a paladin, having him with a cleric just works so well thematically. He's a paladin who believes himself to be disgraced and what's better to help 'bring him back to the light' and support him other than someone else that understands his relationship with his patron god and his intense need to protect everyone. It's easier to accept help from someone that you feel understands your issues, and I feel like being with a cleric just really suits Zevlor.

Rolan with a sorcerer. That's it. Imagine the sass, the cat fights, the endless bickering before they even realise they're attracted to each other. Rolan definitely does the whole 'sorcerors just can't control their magic and tried to make it a thing', specially with a wild magic user. It never quite ends either, even after years of seeing each other Cal and Lia still walk in on their little sarcasm spats. I don't feel like there's a deeper reason to this, other than the fact I feel like Rolan had very little guidance in learning magic (much like a sorcerer might) and is doing a bit of light projection to start with.

So here's my humble opinions, I'd love to hear everyone else's and I hope everyone is having a lovely day <3

From Childhood ~ Alex Shelley

A/N: This isn’t completely checked for mistakes so forgive me if there is any. I loved writing this so I hope you enjoy!

Requested by: Anon

Warnings: none

Tagging(If you want to be added/removed just ask): @laziestgirlintheworld @lilwinchester67 @omgcharmingoceans @earl-01 @ghostofviper @dahlia-blossom

“What if I told you I’ve been in love with you since we were kids.”

Summary: You and Alex have been friends since you were kids but maybe there’s something you both need to admit.

You and Alex were inseparable, you have been since you first met each other. Growing up in the same small area in Detroit, it didn’t take a miracle to know almost everyone there. You loved all the different personalities and lives of those people. But as time went on you slowly disconnected from a lot of them, mainly because you left the city.

However, there was one person that stuck with you. Alex. Little Alex Shelley from down the road who turned out to be The Alex Shelley, the pro wrestler and your best friend of about 25 years. Since you were 10 years old you knew there was something special about him, but you weren’t sure what it was.

Maybe it was his heart and how he had so much love for everything. Maybe it was his passion and how his life was dedicated to the things he cared about. Maybe his spirit and how he always found the fun in a situation. Whatever it was, you connected to him instantly, and not a day has passed since that you haven’t been at each other’s sides. You couldn’t imagine your life without him.

Both you and Alex wanted to be wrestlers so you pushed for your dreams; travelling the world together, often moving companies around the same times too.

This currently landed you both in Ring of Honor. Alex tagged with one of your other best friends Chris Sabin and you wrestled on your own, but you sometimes joined the two in the ring for matches.

You were sat in catering in your ring gear. Your match was 3rd and you liked to be well prepared before you go out. You needed the right mindset to be your best, but one thing tonight was throwing you off.

Alex.

Usually, he was a calming presence before a show, keeping a nice conversation and making you smile. But not tonight. In the past few days, you knew your feelings towards him had changed. He wasn’t just a best friend. He was gorgeous, stunning, inside and out. The same feelings you briefly had for him when you were 14 had started creeping up on you again. He was funny, kind, generous, smart, he was always there for you, and you love him.

You love him.

Something about him made your heart pound. It was the night before that you realised it must have been love. Tossing and turning all night, you couldn’t get Alex out of your head. You didn’t know what to do. There wasn’t a chance you were ruining this friendship over your stupid feelings making it awkward. You would just have to keep them to yourself.

You sat at your table thinking it all through, carefully inspecting Alex whilst he stretched. Your eyes were fixed on his ring gear and the way it clung to his body.

“That’s dangerous.” You turned and looked at where the comment came from, only to find Chris stood behind your chair with one hand on his hip, the other holding a plate of food, raising his eyebrows at you. He chuckled and took a seat next to you after you groaned and sprawled your arms across the table.

“He’s so beautiful.” You whined as you dropped your head on the table, squeezing your eyes shut in despair. “I know,” Chris sighed, “He’s really beautiful.” You laughed and shook your head before leaning your chin on your arms and looking at Alex again.

When Chris first met you and Alex he thought you were already a couple. You were really close and did almost everything together so you could forgive Chris for his easy mistake. He made a bet not long after that you’d end up falling in love but you and Alex shrugged it off.

So yesterday when you went up to Chris backstage and gave him $20 saying he was right, his face lit up right away. He always guessed that, whenever you said something suspicious, you were hiding the fact that you liked Alex so now that you actually did mean it, Chris was having a ball of a time.

Alex turned and spotted you and Chris watching him. He gave a wave to Chris and a wink to you, which Chris took for himself and blew a kiss back to Alex. He smiled and shook his head, brushing off Chris’s actions before picking up his belongings and making his way over to you two.

“Act natural.” Chris whispered to you as he slowly slouched into his chair whilst continuing to eat. You frowned at him in confusion. “What? I am being natural.” Chris looked at you blankly for a second before he rolled his eyes and leaned forward close to you. “You know what I mean. Act like you’re not hopelessly in love with him.” He smiled at you and squeezed your shoulder before leaning back again. You groan, sending a quiet “Yeah, thanks” towards Chris just before Alex arrived at your side.

"How are my two favourite people?" He gave Chris a fistbump and you a light kiss on the temple. Your heart fluttered at his actions and you fought the urge to melt into the table again. "Hey! Where’s my kiss?" Chris shouted before tapping his cheek. Alex kissed his cheek without hesitation and Chris smiled in delight. As Alex went to sit on the other side of you, Chris wiggled his eyebrows at you playfully and mouthed “relax” as he could sense your nerves around Alex.

The three of you fell into easy conversation about your matches and storylines that were coming up. It was heartwarming that you could always talk to each other about anything, no matter the time of day. Even if it did consist of the weirdest topics, like right then when Chris was trying to convince you both that pandas were the best animal on earth.

As hard as you tried to keep your focus on the subject at hand, you couldn’t help but get lost in Alex. The way he sat was driving you crazy. His legs were outstretched with his arms folded across his chest showing his toned muscles, the odd twitch drawing your attention to his biceps as you appreciated his body. He was facing just the right position so the light made his eyes shine perfectly. And the extra glint they got when he laughed had you in awe. On top of that, his voice had you in some sort of trance. It was deep, but not too deep, and soft as he chose the right words to say to Chris, careful not to delve into another absurd debate.

You were starstruck by his beauty and you couldn’t tear your eyes away if you wanted to. You were sat staring at him in admiration when you made probably the worst decision of your life. You couldn’t help yourself as you sighed deeply before exclaiming,

“I love you.”

Immediately a silence fell on the table. Chris stopped chewing as his head darted to look at you with wide eyes. Your face wore a matching expression as you realised what you had just said. You had confessed your love to him. And after only a couple days? God, how senseless could you be?

After a few seconds of stillness, Chris picked up his plate and stood from his seat, moving rather quickly to sit at the Bullet Club’s table on the other side of the room. However, he made sure to be sat where he could see exactly what was going on as he gave a few little head nods to the welcoming wrestlers he had just joined.

None of this was noticed by you or Alex. Alex had yet to say anything and he stared blankly at the table in front of him as though he were in deep thought. You were so embarrassed you couldn’t even look at him. Your eyes scattered over your surroundings and you rubbed your sweaty hands on your thighs before attempting to stand and make a quick exit.

As soon as you moved an inch, Alex’s head shot to look at you. Stutters and half said words spewed from his mouth quickly as he leaned upright and twisted slightly to be facing you directly.

“You... I... erm... since wh... how lo...you...” there was a short pause as he gathered his thoughts properly. You sat facing him sheepishly toying with your hands, waiting for him to turn you down. He looked at the ground with furrowed brows.

“You love me?” He uttered softly before looking you in the eyes. You gulped nervously, thinking you looked stupid. You nodded and looked at you hands, worried that he would tell you to leave and that would be the end of you two.

But what you missed was the gleam in his eyes as he had discovered your true feelings. He smiled and tried his hardest from hugging and kissing you right then and there. Instead, he became aware of your discomfort and grabbed your hands in his, yet you still stayed fixated on your lap.

Alex leaned forward and took a deep breath before whispering in your ear, “What if I told you I’ve been in love with you since we were kids.” You instantly looked up and into his eyes which were up close to yours. “Wh- Are you for real?” You asked in disbelief. He chuckled lightly at you then, with a huge smile, declared, “Of course I’ve been in love with you since then.” He gave your face a once over, lingering on your lips a little before looking in your eyes again with such affection. “I’d have been a fool not to.” He said quietly, almost reminding himself what he'd known all along.

Your eyes moved to his mouth when his tongue poked out slightly. You shook your head ever so slightly. “I love you, Alex.” Both your heads had slowly drifted together and you noticed how close you had gotten as you felt his breath on your mouth. “I love you, too.” He sighed before he gently pressed his lips to yours.

There was an explosion of passion from the lightest of touches. His hand came up to your cheek, his rough fingers a strange parallel to the sweet, velvety feel of his lips. They were soft against your own and you felt him push deeper into the kiss as he gained more confidence in himself. You pushed back into him as his thumb brushed your cheek gently.

As you felt the loving moment become more heated, you reluctantly pulled away due to your very public surroundings. You explored Alex’s gorgeous brown eyes until a sudden burst of noise pulled you away.

Chris was stood up, cheering and clapping loudly whilst looking at you two with fond happiness. The Young Bucks giggled next to him as the rest of the guys looked in your direction and grins appeared on their faces. “Way to go guys!” Marty hollered before giving a quick round of applause, also joined by Hangman and Cody. “I love you guys so much!!” Chris shouted, still clapping, appearing as though he was about to cry.

You laughed and shook your head at Chris’s wild antics. You turned your head back to Alex, just to find him already looking at you deep in love with a small smirk on his face. Your foreheads fell together before he moved to kiss your head. He mumbled “Let’s go” then grabbed hold of your hand again, this time lacing his fingers with your, and leading you out of catering to the sound of whistles and cheers.
