Month 7, day 30
My stylus died while I wasn't paying attention so while it's charging I decided to go back to an old photo edit and just completely redo it since I wasn't happy with it the first time. Much more pleased with it now :D
Raw images I was working with are under the cut, as usual~

The soft hum of radio static echoed in the lobby of the hotel, leaving a calming sensation that made you feel a sense of comfort as you laid on the couch, getting your wounds tended to. Alastor, your significant other who also happened to be one of the other Overlords in Hell, was tending to your injuries, putting bandages and alcohol to your cuts.
All you could do as he scolded you while dabbing the alcohol-soaked rag over your cuts was whine at the painful stinging sensation. You had gotten yourself into a scuffle with some sinners while going out for your weekly run of getting groceries, earning you a few cuts and bruises.
Luckily, his shadow tasked with having to watch you, practically bound to you ! Just thinking about the argument you had with the sinners before being beaten up made you groan, which caught Alastors attention. He pulled the alcohol soaked rag away from the one of many gashes you had received.
You could tell by his expression that he was a bit irritated with you, from the way his smile sharpened and his eyes glowed brighter, a sign that he wasn't exactly happy with you right now.
" I thought I told you to be careful during your errands for Charlie. " He said, voice low as he began to put bandages over your cuts, the white cotton strips sticking to the dried blood around the wounds. Oh, what the Overlord would do to those sinners who laid their hands on you if he could. The need to keep you by his side as much as possible was too tempting to not take advantage of.
He'd even had his shadow bring the lowlifes to him, and he'd rip them apart, limb by limb, broadcasting their screams and desperate pleads all across Hell. A perfect show, one he wouldn't let his dear beloved partake in.
" I tried. It's not like I was the one who started it anyway.. "
You responded, watching as he put a bandage over the large cut on your shoulder, the cotton pressing against the wound as he wrapped it in a roll. Alastor's eyes widened before going back to their normal appearance, his constant smile remaining. He nearly found it humorous how his shadow told him otherwise.
" Oh really? "
His voice was a bit higher in pitch, as if he was teasing you. Alastor was finished tending to your wounds and took a step back, hands on his hips as he looked down at you. You gave him a nod, and he just chuckled, amused by the completely different story his lover was telling him.
" So, it wasn't you who threw your bags at them? Or, maybe... it was the sinners who had attacked you that had thrown the items at themselves, dearest? "
The radio static in his voice became a bit distorted, making you swallow the nervous lump in your throat. You couldn't tell if he was irritated or just messing with you... Something was making you drift to the first option, though.
" They knocked over my entire basket ' by accident. ' How do you knock over a basket, full of groceries, not intentionally? " You began to rant about the encounter. Alastor's ears twitched as you explained what had happened, finding the entire ordeal rather comical.
" Then, they kept mocking me. One of them had the nerve to call me a ' whore ' of all things! The FUCK did I ever do to any of them?! "
The Radio Demon, as they call him, listened to your story, watching as your expression switched between different emotions. It was almost adorable, seeing you get so angry over something as simple as a verbal insult, one that could easily be thrown back at the sinner.
" Oh? Did they, now? " He questioned, watching as you nodded. You were sitting up on the couch now, legs crossed over each other and arms folded across your chest. The demon's gaze turned to the shadow he possessed, waiting to get a signal that you were actually telling the truth.
He could trust his beloved, but sometimes you didn't think to tell him everything, or sometimes you'd lie to him in order to avoid getting in trouble. His shadow confirmed your story, nodding towards him before slowly fading away into the shadows. Alastor looked back at you, tilting his head. He could feel his smile widen, eyes looking down at you as you complained about the sinners who attacked you.
" Darling. "
You were cut off, eyes widening. His voice was soft, gentle, yet had a hint of static in it. Alastor leaned over you, putting his arms underneath your form and picking you up in a way that made your arms instinctively wrap around his neck for support before stinging at the sharp movement due to your injuries.
He stood firmly, holding you up against him, the two of you making eye contact. The Radio Demon's eyes were narrowed, a glint of mischief and amusement in them. The sudden silence that engulfed the two of you made you realize how loud you were.
" It's always entertaining to see the shenanigans that you manage to get yourself into. You know, it makes me feel better about how protective I am of you, ma très chère. "

HIII so this might be an odd request,,, mayhaps i ask for kaveh with an older step sibling (since his mom remarried i think).,, i think kaveh would be a little awkward interacting with them at first but they got along in the long run!! esp when they update him about his mom and never really makes him uncomfortable, or always doesn't force a conversation!! he respects his ideals and supports his passion!!
but the main idea was they go to sumeru one day to visit kaveh (they've been informing him thru letters) and accidentally finds out that he's buried under crippling debt and flat out broke!! i think kaveh would feel so ahasmed of himself but!! his older sibling doesn't judge n is very understanding!! helps him with his burdens (if kaveh allows them), maybe recommend his architectural skills to their friends in fontaine!!
idk i just really like the idea of kaveh having an older family member that he could rely on because he really just deserves nice things yk 🥺🥺 even tho they're just step siblings, they feel like true family!!
anyways feel free to ignore this!! have a nice day/night and take ur time!! 💖💖
the blending of two families.
summary. not all step-siblings are like the cruel ones in the fairytales.
trigger & content warnings. references to death and grief. spoilers for kaveh's backstory.
tropes, pairings, fic length, & other notes. fluff, comfort, slight angst. kaveh & older step-sibling!reader. 1k words. they/them pronouns for reader.
author's thoughts. THIS REQ IS LITERALLY SO CUTE WHATSJSGJF??????? i have Feelings about kaveh's mom and they are NOT good ones but i'll be nice to her for the sake of this piece........ /lh i did this in brainrot format because i wanted SOO badly to get this one done relatively quickly this req invaded my brain like a song that gets stuck in your head
Tumblr media
kaveh first meets his older step-sibling at his mother's wedding.
he's... happy for her, he really is. or he's trying to be, at least. she deserves nothing but the best. what kind of son would he be if he wanted her to live her life wallowing in grief and sorrow? she's hardly ever done anything to hurt him, and if she ever did, it was unknowingly. he could neved wish anything bad upon her. she simply does not deserve those things. therefore, he's doing his best to be happy for her.
a part of him, however, still misses his father.
a part of him— well, who is he kidding? the entirety of his being still suffers under the weight of grief and guilt caused by the circumstances surrounding his father's death.
he doesn't even know the man his mother has chosen to marry, really. kaveh absolutely does not feel like she is betraying him or his father whatsoever, but... he does wish that he had gotten to know this man a little bit better before having to trust that he would not wound his mother's scarred heart.
the architect doesn't engage with the other guests much. it's unlike him, really, but he finds that he can't muster up the strength and charisma to talk with people beyond simple pleasantries. he keeps to himself for the most part.
still, he doesn't dare dampen the atmosphere with his woes, so when another person approaches him, he offers his warmest smile.
"sorry, i hope you don't mind me asking..." this stranger smiles politely at him. it puts his mind at ease a little. "is the bride your mother? you look an awful lot like her."
"oh, i—" he stammeers inelegantly, then clears his throat. "yes. i am her son, kaveh."
they smile again.
"hello kaveh. i'm [name], the groom's child."
"oh. oh! i am so sorry, i had no idea!"
"it's alright, really. you mind if i stick around for a while?"
and kaveh finds that he doesn't. he doesn't mind at all.
the architect has been known to be loose-lipped about his troubles; that in and of itself is part of the reason why he spent the night withdrawn from the celebration. he had no intention of being open about his troubles, and yet...
his step-sibling had the sort of face that made him want to rant, and rant he did.
"i can understand that," they mused thoughtfully, kind eyes observing his expression closely. "it's complicated. grief is never easy. i get it."
initially, they were the one lingering around kaveh, but by the end of the night, the tables have certainly turned. he is practically attached at their hip.
he finds that their understanding presence ended up raising his low spirits.
a few days later, kaveh has to return to sumeru—he does have responsibilities, after all—but he's a bit sad about it! they're, of course, there to reassure him that they plan on visiting someday soon. maybe he can show them around? the prospect alone is very thrilling to him, and what's better is that he'll get to show off his magnum opus like an excited toddler showing off a drawing they made! he does warn them that it is very humid and they need to be prepared, though.
until they can visit, kaveh regularly exchanges letters with them. he complains about his terribly annoying roommate and how awful his taste in interior design is. he tells them about random gossip he heard at the tavern. honestly, he just rambles. it's endearing, really, and in return, they tell him about fontaine and maybe sneak in just the smallest bit of gossip about a certain chief justice or even about the hydro archon herself.
(in the future, closer to when the traveler arrives in fontaine, they do not dare tell kaveh about the heightened fatui activity. goodness, the poor thing would worry to death for theirs and his mother's safety.)
when they do finally have the time to come visit...
they arrive by boat in port ormos, and kaveh is there to pick them up!
he's got a lot of things he intends to show them and a lot of people he intends on introducing them to. on the way back to sumeru city, he stops a few times, pointing out some particularly beautiful locations or animals, all of which would have his siblimg absolutely over the moon. sumeru in general would have them enamored.
the air in sumeru is so... clean compared to fontaine, and the fauna and flora—it's completely different than what they've seen.
now, as for [name] finding out about kaveh's crippling debt... i think they would suspect something was off financially for him, simply because of certain mannerisms of his. he's careful with what he spends his mora on. he tries to be, at the very least, and his caution is very evident. or maybe they're just observant? either way, they know something is a bit off.
kaveh leaves them at alhaitham's home for a while.
it's not that they're one to snoop—it's disrespectful and rude to do so, they are very much aware of this—but a letter would catch their eye.
a letter detailing what he still owes to dori.
suddenly, things make sense in their mind.
they don't try to ask his roommate about it. instead, they wait until he's home and alone with them.
"kaveh," they call. "are you in debt?"
his heart sinks a little. so much for hiding it...
"i..." he hesitates, obviously embarrassed, but he does come clean. in their eyes, he looks like a kicked, pouty puppy. "it's... complicated. i mean, you're not wrong..."
"aw, kaveh, don't look like that," they coo, reaching out to gingerly squeeze his shoulder in a gesture of gentle reassurance. "it's nothing to be ashamed about. things happen, kaveh. life happens. i understand if not, but... will you let me help you out? at least a little bit?"
regardless of what he says, whether he admits that he could use the help or insists that they shouldn't have to do that, they do still go around and tell people about their super awesome and talented step-brother! and when kaveh asks in a letter about the suspicious amount of commissions he's getting from fontaine...
nope! they have no idea how those people found out about him. <3
please consider reblogging, it helps me out quite a lot!

Enough (Papa Emeritus IV x g/n reader)
Summary: No matter what he does, Terzo's shadow always follows him.
Tags: References to the Grammys, cussing, self-esteem issues, fluff and a bit of angst, emotional hurt/comfort. Short fic.
A/N: The official Grammy's account posted Ghost's nomitation for "Call me little sunshine" using Terzo's pic instead of Popia. THAT'S A FUCKING CRIME. MY MAN DESERVES BETTER AND I WILL NOT BE SILENCED.
Anyway, angst fuel.
Tumblr media
“Those… motherfuckers!”
Copia paces around the room, arms gesticulating in every direction as he rants. It is unusual to see him so irritated, upset. A part of you wonders why something so foolish seems to bother him that much.
“They know nothing, Papa,” you whisper, letting out a deep sigh when he continues to walk around the room. “It’s just a stupid picture.”
“No! It’s not!”
The yell takes you by surprise. Your brows furrow high on your face, as his voice becomes softer, full of air when he continues. “It’s… fucking not.”
Something is wrong. Copia never yells, especially not at you. The guilt on his face obscures his factions, causing the wrinkles on his forehead to deepen as he walks in your direction. Kneeling in front of you, he places his hands on your knees.
When Copia looks up again, there's a faint glow on his eyes. “I’m ashamed, amore. Perdonami, ti prego.”
It's impossible to reject his apologies when his head meets your thighs, heavy with the weight of his worries. Copia doesn't seem to mind being on the hard floor, because he maneuvers his body to rest in a comfortable embrace as his arms wrap around your abdomen.
In a silent manifestation of your forgiveness, your fingers card through his disheveled hair, nails lightly scratching at his scalp. Copia lets out another audible sigh before you speak up. “This is not about them using Terzo’s picture instead of yours, right?”
For a long moment, he doesn’t reply. Then, gradually, his head shakes. You can’t inspect his face, but the way he clings tighter to you is a visible indicator of his distress. His muscles are tense, almost as if he's getting ready to bolt out of the room at any second. “Haven’t I…” Copia begins, inhaling. “Haven’t I given enough?”
There's nothing that can prepare you for the shock that fills your core when you realize he's silently crying. The tears cling to the corners of his eyes when he looks up to you, a sad furrow on his brows. His mouth is tilted downwards, lip trembling with every sob that he refuses to let out.
Before you manage to state anything, Copia continues. “I did everything they demanded, everything they told me to. And it’s not enough. It’s never enough.”
Oh. Now, you understand better. This goes way beyond a picture or even a nomination. Copia is insecure, as he has always been, way before he became Papa. “The Academy knows nothing. It’s just a stupid award.”
“Terzo won it. I didn’t. And… it’s not only about it. I’ll never be enough for the old man, or for Sister. Fuck, she can’t even call me Papa. I’m worthless, I’m a failure! I'll never be more than just a… cheap copy of Terzo.”
Copia hides his face on your thighs again, body shaking with heartfelt anguish. You know how much this wounds him, how hard the comparison between him and the other Papas have eroded his already poor self-esteem.
It doesn't make sense to you. Yes, it might be true he’s different than his predecesors, but he’s so talented and wonderful in your eyes. If only he could see, you think. If only he could perceive himself the same way you see him. When he’s on the stage, singing in front of a thousand of fans, he shines brighter than any other star in the dark sky. And oh, how much you love to be near him, to bask in his light and walk by his side.
Without hurrying, your arms embrace him back as much as you can. Your palms caress his back, up and down his spine, until you feel his breathing become less shallow, only a bit less shaky. “Papa,” you begin, voice in a whisper. “I can’t speak for the rest, but I know one thing.”
His cheeks are damp when you grab his face, forcing his gaze to meet yours. There are dark traces of smudged paint on his skin, spots you clean with the pad of your thumb. “I love you, and don't care about what Sister, Nihil or anybody out there thinks about you. I understand if you have doubts, but please don’t talk like that about the man I’ve fallen in love with.”
Gradually, Copia’s gloved hands cover yours. His eyes are glossy, immense and brimming with emotions that swirl inside his pupils. He’s speechless, mouth slightly agape as he struggles to find the words he wants to say.
“There’s one thing about my man. He’s wonderful to me, so talented and loving,” you continue, letting your fingers trace his face. “Please, be kind to him. Try loving him as much as I do.”
For a long moment, Copia remains silent. Then, his head falls back to your lap as his arms embrace your abdomen again. “I can’t promise anything,” he whispers, like a secret only meant for you to listen. “But I’ll try if you promise you’ll never leave me. Stay with me, forever.”
A soft smile stretches your lips as you nod. “Only if you stay with me, then.”
He does. For long minutes to come, he stays kneeling in front of you, lost in your tender embrace.
Ps: I wrote this in one sitting before going to sleep. Ghost deserves so much better when it comes to awards.

Practical Magic - Twisted Wonderland draft
---
A/N: Started this back in May. The story is still in progress but this is a rejected draft that might only come back as a later scene rather than the first chapter like it was intended.
---
"You got something to say to me?!"
Oh lord, not again.
"Say it to my face then!"
The telltale sound of Grim's flagrant ranting could be heard around the corner, and you were quick to find the source. You find him standing before the housewarden of Savanaclaw - Leona Kingscholar. Alongside him stood his lackey, Ruggie Bucchi, as well as a few other Savanaclaw residents. A hot-headed cat against an arrogant lion... not the best combination.
"Out of the way you glorified housecat." Leona sneered.
"Not until you apologize for stepping on my tail! " Grim hissed.
"You should've watched where you were going. And can't you fly? What were you doing on the ground anyway?"
"That's not none of your business!" The magic cat then raised his paws, "Apologize now or face my wrath!"
Leona was already revving up a jinx. Ruggie shook his head with a snicker, "He's so dead."
Alright that was enough. You needed to stop your "familiar's" posturing before things got out of hand. Stepping out of the shadows, you retrieved your special candle from your book bag and wound a strand of thread around it continuously while reciting a mantra.
"I bind you Grim from doing harm
I bind you from doing harm to yourself and others"
Grim let loose a battle cry (or rather a yowl) as he summoned his flames. But all that came were small licks of fire in the corners of his vicinity. He furrowed his brows, looking around him.
"I mean- uh- NYAH! "
He cried out once more to call upon his power but the rose as soon as they fell.
"Eh? What is this?!" Grim cried.
"That's enough out of you." You said, snatching Grim up by the scruff. He yowled and flailed around in your grasp, claws out and trying to scratch you, but you held him at arms length.
Leona narrowed his eyes at you, "Herbivore."
You glance at him and quirk a brow, "Leona."
"Nyack! Lemme go, human! I gotta find out what's wrong with my powers so I can teach these upstarts a lesson!" Grim said.
"I took your powers, Grim, you can have them back when you start behaving; I'm sick of cleaning up the aftermath of your messes!"
Savanaclaw, as well as some passerby within the hallway started staring at you incredulous.
"Hooold up, hold up, hold up!" Ruggie waved his hands before taking up your side and leaning in, looking between you and Grim.
"You're the Ramshackle prefect, aren't you?" He asked. You nod slowly.
"Headmaster said that you didn't have any magic in ya."
"He's not wrong..."
"And yet you still managed to take the powers of this little weasel here?"
"Hey!" Grim shouted. You ignore him and hold him under the pit of your arm.
"It's more like I stalled them away for a bit. I don't usually have to keep him binded for long."
He grins fiendishly and rests a surprisingly firm hand on your shoulder. "That so? You been holding out on us then?"
"Nope, I'm still very much non-magical."
The Savanaclaw students stood peering inquisitively at conversation before them, with Leona looking more invested in the matter than he did at any class lecture.
"Oh come on, prefect! We're friends right? Friends share secrets, and then we all have a good laugh about it! Come on, laugh with me !"
At once you lost control of your limbs, moving your arms in tune with Ruggie's own movements as he made a motion to have you reach inside your bag and pull out a large book and pass it to him.
"A grimoire, huh? An old one too. I don't see many people carry these around anymore. You must be old school, huh?" Ruggie inquired with his signature snicker. You try to snatch it back from him but he teleports by his housewarden's side. With you distracted, Grim had fallen from your grasp and scurried off somewhere.
Thankfully though, your binding spell had been pocketed safely, so you didn't have to worry about him wreaking havoc elsewhere at least.
Ruggie holds the book open for his "boss" and the other students to read.
"I don't see what the big deal is," Leona said, "Almost everyone uses a grimoire."
"Yeah, but this is like, ancient. Oldheads use this type of thing." Ruggie explains.
You try to run around snatch the book back but the well-built Savanaclaw students just about formed a barricade trying to get a peek at your book. Some of them seemed genuinely interested while others indirectly heckled you for being so out of touch.
"I think my gran uses something like this!"
"Sam said he has one from his mother's side."
"I know they're from another world but surely they have something known as 'the internet'?"
Sick of hearing their drivel, you crawl under the crowd, squeezing between their obscenely impressive calves and trunk like legs so you could reach up and snag the book from Ruggie's grasp.
You clutched the grimoire to your chest, breathing heavily. You then turn to the hyena beastman and point a foreboding finger at him. "I'm gonna get you for that."
He clutches his chest and mock winces.
Leona pushed his locs over his shoulder. "So you're a practitioner?" He asked casually.
You blinked at him. He knew?
"Don't look so surprised." He said.
You couldn't not be. Leona was already a hard book to read. He was smart, that much you could tell. But he rarely showed any dedication to any of his classes or anything that didn't concern Spell Drive practice. So of course it'd grab you out of the blue to find out that he knew about practitioners.
Practitioners were traditional witches and warlocks who depended on the energy of the universe, spoils of the earth, and their gods to make magic.
One couldn't exactly pinpoint when people became channelers - sorcerers that were naturally able to produce magic from their bodies - but some have reason to believe it was bestowed upon them by the same gods they worshipped in the dark years.
"Y-yeah," You finally reply, "What of it?"

A Y/n with a extremely high pain tolerance, and is just the most concerning being known to man. Get shot? Ohh dw! Its just a little scratch. I'll casually walk this shit off. Bonus points if they're hella stubborn.
Also can the characters be Soap, Ghost, or König? Doesn't have to be poly lol
LARGE FONT VER.
— WARNINGS :: blood, mentions of being shot/knives/death

he worries for you a lot on the field, Soap just doesn’t want to see you hurt or even killed. So the Scottish man is watching you like a hawk. Not because he doesn't think you can defend yourself, but because he knows you won’t even notice your injury.
So anytime you have some sort of injury, he becomes a whole helicopter. Immediately worrying and looking for ways to help. Asking Ghost for help if needed too, he has more dedication than your average medical student.
You always confuse him though whenever you don’t even acknowledge the damage. How can you not be rolling around in pain?! You just got stabbed! Any normal person would be screaming in agony.
Even though it worried him like crazy, he sometimes had to admit it was pretty damn impressive that you could withstand it all.
Sometimes Soap nearly shits his pants when you get dared by Rudy or Alejandro to do something stupid. It usually results in some sort of injury, since the other two think it's “so cool” that you can withstand so much pain.
(the “something stupid” is usually being shot with an airsoft gun or getting stung, bit, or cut by something…)
But of course he’s still a worry worm and sometimes lectures you on how your pain tolerance can be dangerous for you. What if you got shot and didn’t notice until you bled out? So many things can go wrong, he even goes on a big rant about why it's important for humans to be able to feel pain.
You always found ways to ease his nerves eventually though. Soap’s worrying always went away as soon as you at least had a bandage over it and you were sure to be okay. After that, he just lectured you on being more careful and gave you a kiss. Sometimes he out of nowhere starts gushing about how cool it is that you could withstand all that pain.
“Oh shit! Y/n you’re bleeding!” Soap yelled as soon as you both jumped in the back of the truck, the mission a success. Well, almost, you were running around with a deep knife wound on the side of your abdomen. Blood was soaking through your uniform and you didn't even notice. Shutting the doors as Ghost started the truck and sped off, Soap sat next to you.
You shrugged your shoulders and set your gun down, “I’ll be okay, don’t worry John.” you smiled at him, it didn't really bother you anyways. Soap shook his head and pulled out a first aid kit. He helped pull the shirt of your uniform up, cleaning the knife wound.
“You may think you will be okay, but I can assure you, you will not. This is a shitty wound Y/n.” He grumbled, lecturing you while he gave you emergency stitches. It was risky, but he didn’t think it would end well if you waited until you all arrived back at the base.
You remained quiet as he tended to your wounds. Watching as Soap placed a bandage over it, you smiled, noticing how much he cared for you. Even if you constantly ignored all of your wounds, Soap was there to care for you. Sometimes he even walks around with bandaids and such in his pockets.
He made sure you weren't suffering from any more injuries and finally sat up to relax. Leaning against your shoulder, Soap let out a loud sigh. “Feel okay? Doesn't hurt or nothin’ right?” He asked, pulling you closer to him.
You shook your head with a smile, “I’m fine, Johnny. I promise. Don't worry so much.”

𝐆𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐓
Ghost isn't very vocal about his worries, but his mind is definitely racing when he sees your own blood on your uniform. His mind racing to wonder where it was coming from, or how bad it was. Because knowing you, you didn’t even know.
And since he doesn’t tell you about how much you worry him most of the time, he acts instead. Ghost will just out of nowhere start patching you up without warning. He doesn;t think it would be a good idea to waste time and argue over it, so he needs to get it done immediately.
He lectures you to be more careful and aware of your surroundings so that it doesn’t happen again. Even giving you techniques and hints on how to steer clear of enemies easier.
If you’re being dared by the rest of the team to do “something stupid” once again, Ghost is watching in disappointment. But he is still the first to patch you up when you get hurt.
Even more lectures occur.
when he realized that any time you would get injured; you wouldn't feel it. He became even more protective over you. Ghost is quick to react to keep you out of the line of fire or away from any dangerous combat. He wouldn't forgive himself if something bad ever happened to you. Let alone right in front of him.
If you’re being stubborn about getting medical attention, he will just ignore you and continue on with it anyways. Or just pick you up and take you to the doctor himself. You can;t convince him otherwise, Ghost will easily be just as stubborn as you are.
And if you’re trying to sneak out of bed rest, you’ll never find a way out. Ghost will have your entire room y/n-proofed. Even having Soap or Alejandro to run down the hall by your room to make sure you weren't escaping. He had a whole guard on you!
“I’m fine Simon, I promise. You don’t need to keep doing all of that.” You tried to convince the masked man. The two of you were hanging out in his room, and you were busying yourself by playing with his knives. It turned out to be a bad idea though as you dropped one on your thigh. The knife easily leaving a small cut in your skin.
You had ignored it and decided it would be fine, but Ghost saw the whole thing happen. And before you could pick up the knife and start playing with it again, Ghost took it away and sat in front of you with first aid.
He had ignored all of your comments and continued to patch you up. Once you were ignored for the final time, you decided to just stay silent and watch instead. Ghost fixed the cut on your thigh and looked up at you. His eyes were wide and filled with love, even if you had just stupidly dropped a knife on your leg.
He wrapped his arms around your waist and tugged you close to him, leaning his head against your stomach. “That's enough of you playing with sharp objects. You don’t need all of these useless injuries.” Ghost grunted against your shirt.
A quiet laugh escaped your lips, placing a hand on top of his head to take off his mask, now being able to run your hands through his hair. “Whatever you say, Simon Riley.”

König would be the one to worry the most for you. His mind is spinning as he worries for your well being. And it doesnt stop until a doctor is in front of him telling König that you will be okay.
It was really absurd to him that you could tolerate all of that pain. How? It was like magic to his poor mind. He just wanted you to be safe, not bleeding to death!
He is quick to protect you from any possible injuries, well, he tries to be. When König can’t protect you though, he feels terrible. And a little self doubt gets to his mind. It takes him a few seconds but he will eventually get to helping patch you up.
When König asks you how you're feeling and you respond with an okay, he always dramatically drops his head in shock.
“How? Mein Schatz you literally had gotten shot…”
It takes a lot of convincing and sweet jokes/words from you to get König out of his worried state of mind. He will only ever truly be calm though once you have met up with a doctor and cleared to be okay.
If there is ever a chance where a doctor has said that you must rest and heal your injuries, König will make sure you never leave your room. No matter how much you say that you feel fine, the German man will use his big frame to block your doorway or easily force you back to bed.
If you’re being reckless, König is begging for you to not do it. Running after you like a worried mother chasing her toddler. Sometimes he has no choice but to watch and he just glares, grabbing your wrist so he can patch you up.
Even if you’re upset that he won’t let you leave, he will do sweet things for you. Like getting you food, drinks, hanging out and cuddling with you. Just overall caring for you as if you were sick. (Even if you weren't)
“König. Move.” You tried to shove past your boyfriend, who was wedging himself in the doorway. He blocked you yet again.
“No Y/n. The doctor said you have to stay and rest so you don’t reopen your wound. You are staying here.” König challenged, pushing you back into the room forcefully and closing the door behind him. You groaned dramatically, defeated at this point. He wasn’t going to let up and you knew it.
You trudged over back to your bed and flopped down onto it. Curling up under the blankets to get warm once again. Even turning onto your side, facing away from König to be petty. Behind you, König stared at you blankly. Rolling his eyes, he walked up to your bed and sat behind you. “Why do you want to leave so badly? Everyone knows you're not allowed to do anything right now.”
König was right and you knew it, causing you to sigh. “I'm just bored. I dont like sitting here all day just because of some stupid injury i dont even feel.” You answered, pulling your blankets closer to you. König hummed and moved under your blankets as well, laying down now.
He pulled you closer to him, moving his head down to place a kiss on your head. “I understand, Liebling. But it’s just one more day. And how about I stay with you? So you won't be lonely, we can cuddle and watch movies all day. I’ll bring you food and everything.”
A smile broke out on your face and you turned over to face König now. You leaned up and kissed him through his mask, cuddling closer to him. “I think I can work with that. Thank you König… I love you so much.”

Idk if your requests are open but if they are, could you do headcanons with [Yuu] just with the overblot people and then for [whatever reason], they scold or make fun of them and they just reply with "Says the one who got beaten by a [12 - 14] year old." (Cuz I think you have to be like 15/16 to be a freshman/first year? Idk, correct me if I'm wrong)
I thought their faces would be funny when the realization of the fact a child stopped their blot
(I did get this from when I was reading your bitey child! [Yuu] and I love the bitey child cuz I was that kid <3)
Riddle, Leona, Azul, and Jamil reaction to a cocky little Yuu
Warning(s): cussing, violence towards yuu
A/N: yeah you got the ages right, all the first years are 16. Btw I have a character limit of 4, so I just did the first 4 overblot guys.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Riddle
Poor boys pride is already so wounded
give him a break.
Ok, what happened to lead up to this,
you, Grim, and the Adeuce duo were messing around in the heartslabyul gardens when you probably broke something or messed up a rose bush in front of Riddle
and those assholes ended up running away when he confronted you guys
leaving you to face Riddles scolding.
You got p annoyed.
So when the scolding was finally over, you just oh so quietly mumbled,
" says the brat who got his ass kicked by a 13 year old... "
"wHAT DID YOU JUST SAY-"
His face was so fucking red, it rivaled his overblot face.
an let's just say you nearly had your head cut off
and I'm not talking about his unique magic.
You got a hole 'nother few hours of scolding
and quite a tight collar that stayed on for a few days.
Ace and Grim got a good kick out of this btw
Deuce was very apologetic and even tried to help smooth things over with Riddle for you
it didn't work.
Leona
HA!
yes keep insulting the manchild >:D
*cough*
Anyway,
this starts the like most other interactions with him do
you interrupting his nap in some way or another
you can pick which way you did this time.
Now, he was having a p rough day
Ruggie wouldn't let him sleep through classes
so he was extra pissed when he got woken up and put what little energy he had left into threatening you with death or smth
and when there was finally a break in his ranting you snarked back at him,
"HA! like you ever could, your ass got wiped by a magicless kid in less than like 30 minutes!"
....
silence....
man was too stunned to speak.
I don't think I can express enough the absolute WRATH that was radiating from off him
you rly started to regret what you said
especially since he looked like he was going to actually kill you
and he was.
You got really lucky when Jack was able to catch his hand mid air
yeah...
this fucker was literally going strangle you if it wasn't for Jack having been looking for you.
Jack wasted no time dragging you out of there and far away from Leona
and for a long time it's going to be rly fuckin tense between you and Leona...
You also got one hell of a scolding from Jack.
Azul
Same thing I said in Riddle's
his pride is already in shambles
and you and the tweels are not helping one bit.
So on to what happened,
you were bored so you decided to check out the clubs after school
and your first stop was the board game club.
eh? eh? get it? wink wink nudge nudge??
ok ill stop..
Idia basically scurried to the corner of the room to play on his phone when you came in and Azul was more than happy to possibly teach a brat underclassmen.
As you know, Azul can get pretty cocky sometimes
and this was one of those times,
he was talking smack
blabbering on and on about how easy this is for him and how he should prob go as easy on you as he could if he wanted you to have any chance of winning
also kinda giving some hints at giving you lessons for using Ramshackle on the weekends
so naturally you,
being the lil sassy bitch you are <3, snapped back,
"Mhm, sure, says the fish that was outwitted and beaten up by a tween and their rat bastard band of friends!"
there was a moment of silence,,,
that was quickly broken by Idia bursting into a short laugh at Azul.
The poor octopus wasn't expecting such a clap back
epically not one regarding his overblot
he may or may not have teared up a little bit...
He was also p upset obv
so he just grabbed his phone and made a call
"Hey Floyd-"
and you booked it out of there.
Floyd did chase you a little later on at the request of Azul.
Jamil
Jeez-
he's doing best man 😔.
You were going to meet up with Ace and Deuce after their clubs and Ace's was usually finished before Deuce's so you went to go wait for him and then get Deuce together
but you accidentally got there early
and you know that means
more waiting!!
yay!
I hope you can tell this is complete sarcasm
so you were just waiting on the bleachers watching the basketball club members practice when the ball hit you straight in the face
causing you to get a nosebleed...
ouch,,
Ace and Floyd were on the ground laughing their ass's off
Jamil went to go get the ball and make sure your nose wasn't broken
dw I googled it, a nose can bleed without being broken
and even tho he is trying to be a better person he was still a very sassy person
so ofc he made a joking snide remark about you being a little brat or smth
and you ofc snapped back with,
"Well, in case you forgot, this 'little brat' kicked your snake butt with three fish and a cat!"
and he just walked away
you were very stunned, you expected him to at least glare at you
but I guess you really can't compla-
*SMACK*
oop-
spoke too soon I guess....
Now you definitely have a broken nose...
he hit you as hard as he could with the ball btw.

tell me more about your Morro in the lmk universe I wanna read
Ahhhh okay okay!! I’m honestly thrilled that people seem to be enjoying this so much, I haven’t really been able to talk to anyone about this haha. All my old Ninjago friends have left, rip.
Under the cut is a good chunk of info on the au—just random tidbits for the most part, though.
• Morro can’t do any delivery work at first due to his stab wound, but later he’s able to!
• Not the greatest when it comes to customer service, so Morro tends to keep to himself when working around Pigsy’s shop.
• For the most part, Morro cleans up the shop and looks after everything.
• Morro 100% calls MK “Red ninja” and “Kai” on more than one occasion. And when he meets Red Son, his brain decides to chime in with “holy shit are these the Red Ninja’s real parents??”
- Morro doesn’t believe in that conspiracy theory but he’s not dismissing it either
• Mei and Morro are matching green streak besties!!
- Mei finds out that Morro is horribly out of touch with modern…well, everything, and takes it upon herself to educate him
- It’s a lot and it’s overwhelming sometimes
• Morro and Tang get along really well! He likes reading through Tang’s journals and books in his free time, as well as listen to Tang’s rants. It’s very informative!
• Morro’s body seems to be determined to always wake up at sunrise no matter what, and he inadvertently wakes up MK too sometimes
• Morro still does Sunrise Exercises—as conflicted as he feels about Wu, he still recognizes that it’s a good way to start off the day. Stretching good!
• Morro can’t cook for shit lol. Pigsy’s trying to teach him, at least.
- The only thing Morro can make really, really well is tea. He lived with Wu for years growing up, this dude absolutely slaps at making an incredible pot(?? Tea terms?) of that hot leaf juice
• I don’t fucking know what kind of weapon to give Morro. At first I considered a broom, but idk, it’s not vibing with me? A staff would fit him really well plus aid his powers, however there’s already like three characters who use staffs and it feels redundant if I give Morro one too. I’ll take suggestions I guess?
- Update from the future: he’s keeping the broom
• When Red Son and Morro first met in s1 episode 1, Morro used his wind powers and was out of sight of Red Son and Red Son whipped around and. They didn’t see Morro at first and let out a startled “Mother?!” because it’s wind and that’s what came to mind and just. Mei and MK will never let Red live that down lmao
• Morro uses makeup to conceal his eye markings! I personally headcanon that if Morro was revived, they’d be more like scar’s around his eyes? Pale and stuff, you know? But when I was making the art, it didn’t look well at all in the LMK style, so I decided to go with the more recognizable green markings after a fucking lot of trial and error, it took me a hot second to find a look that worked holy shit
• Morro and MK are he/they buddies
• MK and Mei’s energy is. A lot sometimes for Morro to handle. But it can also be endearing!
• Oh yeah also Morro does reveal early on that he has wind powers, albeit not intentionally. He’s just cleaning up around the shop and instinctively uses his wind to dust off a table and you know. Draws attention to himself.
• Morro also tells the gang about Ninjago and what it’s like there (from what he can remember, anyways), and explains the whole fucking. “Long before time had a name” bit too. Tang is very invested in all the lore and takes avid notes.
• Morro is extremely cagey about a lot of things, though, particularly pertaining to his past. He steers clear of the topic of family and will mention snippets of his childhood. Sometimes he’ll be talking about something and let slip a detail and then have to awkwardly elaborate on it.
• Eventually Morro will confess that he did some…unsavory things in the past, because he feels bad about it and also feels like he’s deceiving everyone by not telling them. He’s not specific with anything, he’s as vague as he can be, but at least they mention they weren’t exactly the best person before.
• One thing Morro is adamant be kept under wraps is the fact that he died like 2 or 3 times—he does not want anyone knowing about that, and refuses to tell anyone in the group about it. It’s part of the reason why he covers up the marks around his eyes—where he comes from, those are a very recognizable sign of possession/being cursed, so he hides them.
• Morro is a very hard worker, and he also never knows what to do with his free time when he has it.
• Mei and MK are his younger siblings now and Morro is protective (although he’s in denial that he’s protective lmao)
• Ask before touching Morro in any way, they’re very twitchy about being touched without warning
• Morro keeps his old clothes from when he showed up here in a box in MK’s room; he takes the pendant from it and wears it as a necklace, though. (I wanted to give him some flair)
• Once Morro’s gotten more comfortable with everyone, he does eventually elaborate on his childhood/family situation a bit more—from his perspective, at least. I drew a doodle of it a while ago, actually.
Tumblr media
• They refuse to connect the line between themself and Wu out of spite and also because they’ve got. A lot of complicated feelings on Wu.
- So he just has himself hovering under Wu lmao
• Morro can sometimes be vague with details about you know, Lloyd and Wu and all that. He focuses more on personality for some things and facts for others. It’s a touchy topic on occasion.
• Oh boy Morro does not do well on any kind of water-related adventures. He votes himself out of anything involving them.
- Like Morro gets along fine with Sandy! They bond over tea and the therapy cats do wonders for Morro, it’s just that Morro. Refuses to get on any sort of boat and generally avoids water activities as a whole.
• Morro is frankly amazed at how easy it is to acquire food nowadays—like, how readily available it is. You just go into a store and buy food and you don’t even have to prepare it??
• Morro owns a phone but it’s fairly old school and he only uses it for like. Taking pictures, calling, texting, maps…basic phone stuff.
• There’s stuff that happens with Macaque that I’ll get to later because Macaque just so happens to be one of my favorite LMK characters and thus. I am going to involve him with Morro (not in a weird way, I just mean they’re gonna interact)
• I don’t wanna dive into anything Season 3 related only because I know it came out recently
- Cut to me a few seconds ago looking up to find out just how recent Season 3 aired and being smacked in the face with the information it was fucking this year?? I did not. I don’t realize it was so recent. Holy fuck I’m gonna have to hold back on any Season 3 details for a bit (or at least mark them as spoilers) until it’s been more widely seen
• Anyways Morro doesn’t trust Monkey King from the get-go. He’s got past trauma relating to mentors that tell a kid “Oh you’re gonna be great and powerful or whatever” and he’s fucking suspicious
• OH. ALSO. Don’t mention any words like “fate” or “destiny” around Morro because those are trigger words, and by trigger words I mean triggering his fucking intent to kill
- Talks shit about destiny all the time, is very vocal about how he thinks it’s total bs
Uhhh I’m sure I’ve got more of this milling around in my head somewhere but here’s what’s coming to mind atm!! I’ll definitely add more onto this later—and feel free to shoot any questions my way you might have about the au! I’m still figuring it out tbh, haha.

Alright I’ve thought about it a bit, let’s rant about just how horrifying the curse Simon was afflicted with would be! Consider this like a part one of sorts for Simon’s Quest analysis stuff cause I could talk about this one game for hours on end—
I’m gonna put a cut here because warning ⚠️ descriptions of decay, gorey stuff, disease, and some pretty bad mental effects. Stay safe guys, don’t read further if you can’t handle those topics!
Tumblr media
I’ve seen multiple different descriptions of it from different media and manuals, but, just from this little line alone, this is already a pretty awful fate for the guy. High emphasis on the word decay. That in itself can imply a lot of different things, sometimes all at once. And keep in mind too, he’s had this over the course of 7 years. Simon is probably already an absolute wreck from this wayyyyy before the game even starts.
First of all, getting hit on the back is a bad spot for any kind of infection or spreading disease (closest irl counterpart). That’s awfully close to a lot of vital things you don’t want something spreading to including the spine, lungs, heart, etc etc. Especially for deeper cuts because we’re talking Dracula level injury here, not like a paper cut or something. Hell, too deep of a hit on the back might cause some nerve damage, not to the extent of paralysis in his case, but general chronic pain from a wound that won’t heal properly is uhhh… not great. :( I’ve also seen some media say that the curse causes wounds to not heal, bleeding, the American manual even mentions it effecting the soul, awful stuff. I generally like to think “Bloody Tears” is referring to Simon tbh.
Another thing, with afflictions that cause decay generally the smaller appendages start getting hit hard with it first. It’s the same way for a lot of other conditions; fingers, toes, earlobes, anything protruding like that because the body considers them lowest priority in a survival situation like that and it wouldn’t kill you to lose them. Necrosis especially has things start turning ruddy colors, blacken, and start forming holes in the layers of skin (@ @ ;). Obviously this alone is excruciating. Poor dude has to walk for days on end like that…
And slowly deteriorating could also imply some form of wasting. Fats usually go first, then muscle, which is also very not good when you’ve gotta beat the clock to survive. Scary thing is that the brain is like 60% fats and not immune to any of this whoops—
Something I don’t really see anyone consider very often when talking about the curse (not that I’ve seen many people talk about this 💀) is how absolutely mentally fucked up Simon would be from it. Just the terror of knowing you’re slowly rotting to death would be enough to drive most people into some kind of despair or panic, but seeing and feeling all the gruesome details of it is even worse. Being in constant pain and stress isn’t good for anyone, especially someone who is already weakened from illness. But the sheer mental deterioration this guy would be having from the decay itself oh my god (0_o ). Looking up widespread brain shrinkage like that and uh some of the early signs are already stuff like seizures and extreme headaches. Add the fact that he doesn’t really sleep much for upwards of 7 days and it’d be an absolute miracle if this guy wasn’t hallucinating and/or completely hysterical by this point among other things. I mean, no wonder so much of this game is running around lost and confused, not only are people lying to his face, Simon is probably just barely keeping his shit together the whole time.
So just imagine for a second all of these things combined. No wonder people were terrified of him, he probably genuinely looked like a corpse. Eeeee yikes yikes ouch, poor guy :’’’’’(.
Anyway, Konami where is my horror focused Simon’s Quest remake you cowards—

Today's victim is.. everyone's favorite traumatized hero,
Kino Estere!
In front of the general public, he puts on this brave, carefree front, pretending he isn't paranoid as hell and on the verge of tears at any given moment
but yeah, he is UNWELL. long-lasting family curse that makes the person with the curse bleed more, unable to recover from wounds properly (basically all of em scar) and die young??? bucko lives with a sense of doom hanging over his head he'd feel weird without at this point
he had an ordinary childhood up until his 6th birthday, when his parents were like, "HEY, kino, we have a surprise 4 u," and then they told him he was never gonna hit thirty and died
his older sister, now his only surviving family member, chucked him at an orphanage and said to put him in the family home once he was old enough
like a year later this girl accidentally threw a ball at kinos window and was like "sorry also u look like you haven't seen the sun in months wanna hang out with me and my friend" and he didn't say ok she just thought he nodded and dragged him outside to her friend who was a fish
and Friendship :)
until kino decided to take up sword fighting and oh no monster
Shizu Da Fish is died.... Kino is trauma again... Tetra didn't see it because she was told to go get help
Time skip to when Kino's starting to Hero
Fnaf.. Kino... Fnaf Kino... Omg
Anyways, another skip.. he's famous now bc he does a really good job at saving and helping people yahoo
It's Shizu again she lived and she's wackus bonkus now and trying to kill kino so he's like "girl I was 13 what did you expect me to do?? suddenly have the skill and experiences of a 30 year old hero who's been fighting since they were 2??" and now she's really died because Self Defense.
Oh no he got seen... he tried to be like "pls don't tell it was self defense she was ranting about wanting me dead very graphically and then lunged at me with a knife" but Mr Worldwide Won't Believe A Word This Guy Says doesn't believe him and then falls down the stairs to kinos family tomb crypt basement thing and dies so kinos like "FUCK I DID THAT AAAGH" and hides the bodies and only tells tetra the shizu part of the story
Kino is really good at faking things.
and he goes to the store one day and finds this fellow who's being accused of theft and when the shopkeeper reveals there is ZERO evidence the fellow did it kino calls him an idiot, grabs the fellow, and skips away
He gets talking about his hero days and suddenly he has an apprentice
Insert Training Montage
Kino remembers he only has food for one guy so he goes to get his apprentice Gabriel a sword and food that isn't fancy cereal, a loaf of bread, fish shaped candy, sandwich toppings, and a box of assorted berries when..
ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT?!?!?!?!!!!
Kino gets 2 arrows to the shoulder and knee each, an arrow to his mid-arm, a nasty knife wound to his left eye, blinding it?!?@?@?@ and also to his right arm and also gets one of his earrings ripped out.
Ouch!
he skedaddles and falls into a cave real hard also probably breaking a rib or two (he doesn't know, he just knows it hurts to breathe deeply)
he deals with his wounds using Ripped Up Shirt and then cries for a bit
and then he decides to use the old broken mask and magic hoodie he found in the cave to resort to crime
and he eventually has a mental breakdown because isolation (he isn't talking to people. only steal.) and also being haunted by his past in a damp cave
He's really flippin scared in there someone give him. a very gentle hug because he is also in physical pain
And erm... That's all for now

who do you think would have the more dramatic realization of feelings?
(My money is on Lee, but solely bc others would quickly learn of it. Kankuro and Temari would just have debates between each other until Gaara eventually ranted to them abt it)
Hmm ... this is a good question.
I think it depends on when the realization of feelings happens? In their youth, I think Gaara would struggle a lot more and potentially kind of flip out about realizing he has romantic feelings for someone he almost killed. Both because the notion of romantic love would feel unachievable for him (how could anyone love him when he's been such a monster, etc etc.) and because it would make his newly earned position as Kazekage so much more precarious. He'd feel pressured to suppress it, but as you know, anything that's tamped down long enough needs a release valve eventually or it explodes. So I can definitely see him coming to the realization, having the feelings be big and painful and him thinking he was never meant to love--not like this--because it will only cause more wounds of the heart, and being sure that Lee could never love him back and even if he did there's nothing they could do about it anyway, and sort of, like, going out into the desert and having a breakdown about it. Maybe causing a sandstorm or sandfall or something, just ... really, really struggling in a very transparently obvious way, even though he'd try to hide it.
Lee, on the other hand, if they're young would probably just be like "oh, this is a crush" - and he's had those before, so it wouldn't be anything world-shaking. It might be more complicated because Gaara is a dude, and I imagine he'd have enough maturity to not go full love confession like he did with Sakura at the chuunin exams. He might feel a bit weird around Gaara and act a bit strange, but he's a strange guy already so I don't think people would think too much of it.
On the other hand, if it's when they're much older, I think it's a toss-up. I can see circumstances in which Gaara, with his impeccable self-control, simply decided to do nothing about it, and while his siblings might notice subtle shifts in his mood, like you said - it wouldn't really be anything dramatic. Just a quiet sort of: ah. so that's what that is. I think the inner turmoil would still be high, but at that point he'd have fought through many larger emotional hurdles and might be ... okay. He might even plan systematically about it, research, try to figure out how or if this could happen. So yeah, I agree, it'd be subtle.
Lee, on the other hand, would definitely be way more obvious. At this point, he's matured a lot and should have a much better poker face and stiff upper lip, but I think when it comes to Gaara he just ... wouldn't. I also think if they're older it's a much larger realization: true love versus a teenage crush. And in that context, I can see Lee being very uncontrolled: looking away from Gaara very obviously, shouting in surprise if Gaara touches him, blurting out what he's been thinking. It would be a big feeling, and one he couldn't help but wear on his sleeve. Especially because I don't think Lee ever would have been in love before. He wouldn't know how to handle it.

Cuddle Bugs HCs
I'm feeling HELLA TOUCH STARVED and it's cold in my room (bc I'm not wearing pants bc it's summer and it's Texas is this a joke to you Mr. The Sun) and I want to talk about something sweet with the boys I've dabbled with so, HERE YA GO
A bit racy (mentions of grinding, dry humping and hickeys maybe) so MINORS DNI.
Hardcase: My boy, my sweet sweet lad. 'Course he's going to be first bc I tap into him the easiest. (We are kindred spirits.) Idk if it's canon that the clones all get into cuddle piles but might as well be. It's really casual and natural to them. But I think that with a potential S/O, Hardcase might be a bit nervous at first. Mainly because that's his person and his person is hot, so it's bound to get him wound up at some point. He knows how to Think Unsexy Thoughts to keep things from escalating though. But gods once Hardcase is more comfortable with his S/O, he wants to be glued to them ALL the time when they have the time to. 10000% believe Hardcase would give the biggest puppy dog eyes if his S/O isn't getting the hint or is busy with something when he wants to hold them/be held by them. Would get whiny, too. "Aw c'moooon cyar'ika, can't that wait???" "The couch is so comfy babe, come have a lie down with me." He's chatty when he cuddles but he can appreciate just lying in silence with his S/O, too. Just imagine how safe and warm and secure you'd feel in his arms - which I also HC are slightly bulkier than the average CT bc he carries them big guns. Hardcase is also the type to absentmindedly touch and caress his S/O the entire time he's curled up with them. Which can sometimes lead to...things, but he doesn't always mean for it to with his S/O, honest! But how can he resist when they're grinding their butt into his crotch?!
Fox: It's like pulling teeth, herding loth-cats, and getting this man to get a full eight hour's sleep just to get him to slow down long enough to cuddle. Usually Fox can only wind down long enough to cuddle with his S/O after some more...strenuous activities. ( 83c ) But once he does, ohhhh he just melts. I think Fox would actually prefer being the little spoon. Man just wants to be taken care of and turn his Commander Brain off. He's not big on talking while he's cuddling with his S/O, but sometimes he does. Usually when he initiates it after a particularly trying day dealing with senators. He just comes into his S/O's apartment ranting the second his bucket is off, grabs them and drags them to the bedroom, and both fall into the bed together. He's just venting the entire time, too. "Fucking dikut called Thorn Thire about five times, just, excuse me are you closing your eyes when you speak to them?! Their armor's completely different!" "Had the fucking nerve to ask me to help the waitstaff serve hors d'oeuvres. Sorry mate, left my fucking tux in my walk-in closet, oh fucking wait." But sometimes - sometimes there are days when he comes to his S/O needing to be held because it's the only thing that helps him sleep. For a while at least. There have been many times the two of you wake up with Fox wired, hard and needy, having shuffled around in his sleep so he's between your legs and shamelessly rutting against his S/O. Lucky for him they love being woken up this way.
Wolffe: Ooooh, Wolffie. The first few times he tries this with a partner it is the most awkward five minutes of his life. But then his S/O comes along. And it's still awkward - at first anyway. Look, it's not that he doesn't want to hold his S/O. (Wolffe is firmly in the big spoon camp about 90% of the time.) It's just that there are hundreds of things he should probably be doing. At least, these are his excuses at first. Eventually he does warm up to the idea, acting like his S/O is being just sooooo needy. But in reality, Wolffe appreciates it. The quiet, the closeness, the simple intimacy of it. Moments like these makes him feel like the war can't touch him. It's honestly a balm for the wounds he tries to keep hidden behind a dozen walls of stoicism, sarcasm, and scowls. More than once Wolffe hasn't let his S/O get up until he's damn good and ready to let them up, grumbling and grousing about it. But even more than that, cuddling up to Wolffe has led to more. A lot more. Lying all tangled up with his S/O just does things for Wolffe. It's something about the intertwined limbs, listening to each other breathe, the solid presence of his S/O all around him. As mentioned before, Wolffe prefers being big spoon, which will usually lead to him peppering soft kisses against his partner's neck and shoulders. But he waits until he feels the first shiver until he pushes a bit more, little kitten licks against their skin, ghosting his breath against all the spots he knows makes them squirm. Of course this leads to more, his teeth scraping skin, and then sinking into it as he rubs up against them. If his S/O tries to tease him about it, he teases right back. "You're the one who got it in your head that this would be all innocent." "Oh, you really thought you wouldn't tempt me when we're like this?" And his favorite to whisper in his S/O's ear because he knows it'll get them all worked up is, "Meshla, I'm just finishing what you started."
Open to more if anyone has any suggestions/requests~

@slashingdisneypasta I was thinking about the ask you sent about Poppy reacting to Stupid's BAMF S/O, and I thought of more to add onto it. I hope you approve of these XD
Tumblr media
I imagine the first she ever heard of this S/O was... The same night that Stupid and them met. From Greasy. After he came home disappointed that his plan failed. Pop's probably didn't get too many details about BAMF S/O then, and usually she doesn't ask Greasy about his nights out. But since he took Stupid with him but didn't come back with him, she started to worry and asked Greasy about his where abouts.
I think Greasy might have been a little a lot salty, so maybe that triggered him into going into a little rant... Which than would have made Poppy's fear shift to disappointment and anger in Greasy.
"... So you're telling me." The rabbit started, taking in a deep breath and crossing her arms with a stern look set on her face. She almost looked like a mother scolding her mischievous child, "That you took Stu out with you- not to spend time with him like he was excited about, but to use him to make yourself look better to women??"
Her icy tone and look made Greasy feel shivers run down his back. Poppy didn't strike fear in his heart (or anyone's for that matter. As Psycho said it best, Poppy just looked like a puffed up cotton ball when mad), but everyone in the house knew how protective she was of the weasel being discussed right now. And those eyes of her can surprisingly send the coldest looks, "Uh..."
"And- I'm not done mister. And when Stupid finds a nice person-" She squinted at Greasy when he scoffed at that. Oh if only she knew how 'nice' this toon was, "You have the nerve to come home, and expect sympathy from me? After you used your own friend??"
"... Ok, when you put it like that hermosa-"
"No! You know what? I'm happy for them." Poppy huffed out as she threw her arms out. She wasn't yelling, though the fact that she had gotten this worked up was surprsing enough, "I hope they have a nice time together! I hope they like each other, and are having fun. Without you."
"Now wait a second-"
She didn't give Greasy the chance to defend himself before turning on her heel and storming away. She was so mad at him right now, she needed to walk away... Well, after she whipped back around to face him and add, "As a matter of fact; I hope that someday, they get married and have a beautiful life together, just to spite you!"
At that, the gangster just stared dumbfounded at his frustrated companion, "... Did you seriously just try to rub salt in the wound with positivity?"
"Yes! Because Stupid deserves happiness! I would have wished for it anyway, but now seemed like an appropriate time to say it!" And with that, Poppy left the room to cool herself down, leaving a partly confused, partly amused Greasy behind.
So yeah, Poppy was not happy with Greasy for a while. Refused to talk to him until he apologized to Stupid XD
When she does finally hear about this S/O, Poppy is at first happy for Stupid! It sounds like he's got a relationship now! But the more she knows, the more concerned she gets. All the hints of aggression she's picking up from Stupid and Greasy's stories make her worried for Stu (kind of reminds her of how Ben would get when drunk. And she will not tolerate Stu getting stuck in a relationship like that).
So she does try to ask if they can meet sooner rather than later, just to see if BAMF S/O really is good for Stupid. She hopes for the best! But she is planning for the worst too.
I can see her trying to suggest they meet at her place of the Toon Patrols house. That way, if things do go side ways, they at least have a bit more control over the situation than if they went to a public place. That and hopefully a more homey setting will relax all parties enough where it can be a nice meeting.
I'm not sure how BAMF S/O will take to Poppy. Poppy might find their attitude a little alarming at first. But, as the meeting progresses and she sees how soft and sweet these two really are together, Poppy realizes that her fears are, thankfully, incorrect.
And she becomes supportive right away. Like literally, as soon as S/O leaves, "Goodbye! It was so nice meeting you!" *closes door behind them* *turns to Stupid* "They're the one for you."
Poppy I going to ship them sooo hard. Like seriously, she gets all excited when she hears news about them. And if she finds out that they're going on a date, Poppy will make sure that Smartass doesn't forget so he won't put Stu to work on that day. She is Stupid and BAMF S/O's number one supporter ^^
If either of them ask her, she will be more than happy to offer them relationship advice. Might actually wind up giving it anyway at the beginning of their relationship to help them and because she's just so dang excited for them. Slightly overbearing, but she means well ^^ and will step back when somebody pulls her back.
Don't get me started on if/when one of them proposes. If she somehow finds out before (like maybe one of them asked her proposal advice or one of the other weasels let it slip), she will be buzzing in her seat, trying so hard to keep it all a secret. And when it is announced, she will literally cheer in joy. And my girl doesn't get loud often, so this is a big sign to how much she approves of them XD
Also may or may not be pleasingly shocked that she unintentionally predicted their union XD if Greasy doesn't say anything, she won't.
I hope you enjoy reading these! I wish I could have put these in the original ask XD

I think Tumblr is thankfully a little over its “people with NPD are smol beans uwu” phase (or maybe it’s just that I’ve finally filtered that cadre of people out and those left are a bit more friendly to “demonizing people is bad! Obvi! but there’s also a reason many people find people with those traits difficult to be in close relationships with,” which is pretty much where I am) but I am Thinking about something
Some of you know that I’ve been following the Ruby Franke child abuse case. Franke was a Mormon influencer and mommy vlogger who was popular but who many people worried was overly harsh with her kids to the point of abuse. She had a close associate named Jodi Hildebrandt who at the time was a licensed therapist.
One of her kids fled Jodi’s home and had been severely physically abused (tied up in such a way it left deep wounds which were then “treated” with cayenne pepper paste), blowing the whole thing wide open. Ruby and Jodi both were charged with aggravated child abuse and both pled guilty to four of six counts and are awaiting sentencing.
Anyway people have been following the story, and one thing that’s become very clear is that Jodi was a profoundly unethical therapist and has a history both of abusing kids and of ruining adult clients’ marriages. It’s a mess and a train wreck and very obvious when you look into Jodi that she had a kind of cult leader personality. (People suspected she wouldn’t plead guilty just because she’s SO rigid about her beliefs in the videos.) I know the one true way to help kids grow, society disapproves but I’m right, etc.
And there’s one video of her that people watch for the shock of it. She is sitting with Ruby in the basement they used as a video studio, and she goes off on a rant that gets more and more unhinged as she goes on. She’s upset that she’s getting bad reviews on her videos and people saying her techniques are abusive, and she says something to the effect of “I’ve made it really easy to give us a five star review, but you guys aren’t doing it! Why aren’t you doing it? You need to go do it right now. We’re getting all these one stars and we need you to help us fix it.”
It’s fascinating for the complete lack of acknowledgement that anyone might just not like the content, or give one star because they disagree with the techniques. Especially when viewers were mentioning repeatedly that they were concerned the techniques were too harsh and could even be abusive. If someone thinks that about what you’re teaching, yeah, they’ll give one star. Should be obvious? But she’s just like “I don’t know why you all aren’t doing this. Go do it.”
Anyway I bring this up because I’ve watched a LOT of videos on this, and that’s included several mental health professionals watching the videos and debunking the supposedly revolutionary new techniques of Jodi’s as abusive discipline with a weird half new age half religious conservative polish on it.
And EVERY ONE of the reactions I can remember from trained professionals says “this behavior is a clear indicator of narcissism. I would absolutely be looking out for more things like this to make a diagnosis if I were asked to do so.”
What intrigues me here is the clear consensus, and how little it resembles what I’ve seen people here on Tumblr say being narcissistic is like, which as they describe it seems to be destructive perfectionism plus struggles to empathize with people they’re not deeply close to.
Which I dunno. I think this discourse has kind of faded anyway at least off my own dash, but… I dunno. I think tumblr can sometimes get very echo chamber y about what a particular illness looks like, and everyone can sometimes all jump on a less central symptom because some posts are going viral.
Anyway I found it very interesting to see the professionals focusing very much on someone literally demanding praise, an unusual behavior that most would find striking, when the talk of tumblr was all “oh I’m a perfectionist, just to a degree where I do myself harm,” which sounds a lot more like understandably shitty coping and not “wow that’s pretty out of touch yeah.”
I dunno. I guess my point is… we love the idea of personal stories and experiential knowledge because it fits our broader politics, but it’s worthwhile to check what the scholars have to say to make sure we’re not taking one person’s compelling account as the truth of the thing.

Neighborhood Watch S2ep5: Open Wounds
A week after the session and I'm finally uploading the recap with bullet points, here we go:
[Summary: Ken tries to join the group /hj. The Cast fully reuintes at Emmett's. Markus gains an ally, while John tries to be a good friend. Song tries to clean up her place, and Louis goes on a rant.]
• Picking up a bit after where we left off: Ken tells Louis he's had the Sight ability ever since he was born, getting visions from touching objects and people— he says he's a psychic. Louis corrects him: Clairvoyant, actually. Ken's like "hm whatever psychic sounds cooler" • Ken shows Louis some drawings of monsters he's spotted, including one he calls the PantherHawk- it's the Hunter we killed in the Season One finale. Louis tries his best to explain what it was. • Louis elaborates, saying he and a group of others hunted down the kind of monster the PantherHawk was- Ken picks up on the "we" aspect, and asks if there was an official group, and if he can join— Louis said it was more of a neighborhood watch, finally dropping the title of the show after thirteen episodes. • Ken says the grocery store keeps restocking even though no one does that, according to Harold the bagger, and suggests its a ghost. Louis suggests it could be the fae– Jewel the Only Employee laughs over at the register– and tells Ken to see if the employees are doing anything like leaving offerings to the fae. • The cats all surround them in a semi-circle when its time for them to leave- Louis asks Ken if he thinks thats weird, and Ken's all "idk i thought they were trained to do that" (Louis: "keneth do you know how hard it is to train cats") • Some point in this conversation it was revealed Ken's lived in Greenville a few months before he got a house in the raffle- one of the places he stayed at was above the pizza place, after whoever lived there moved out (John and Shelby's old place!!! he lived where they lived!!!)
• Karen opens the door to see Markus, who sees the cop approaching and Really dones't wanna get arrested, because why else would a cop be walking over here? They push past her to run to Bob, and says they know where the monsters are; if they get arrested, Bob will never know where the monsters are. Markus uses a Luck point to successfully do this. • Bob tells Karen (whos being helpd up by their son aka the cop) the reason Markus ran her over was bc they were just excited about a camping trip he promised they would do together— Karen is confused bc they seemed to hate each other, and Markus is all "dude im not a kid, im 27," but the lie works. • (Turns out Markus wasnt going to get arrested anyway, since Bobby Jr was only heading over there to say hello since he was in the area) • Markus starts to head over to Emmett's house to speak to the AI inside. • Theres this whole bit about firefighters heading over and interviewing Song, and Louis being Flustered by them all and giving them giftbaskets. Song gathers a bag of stuff [aka, hidden weapons] that werent ruined from the explosion and plans to give them to Louis later, because where else would she store them? Her house is gone.
John and Clara are walking back to City Hall, where she asks if he'd like to grab dinner together- she's essentially asking him out on a date. John, however, knows Shelby wanted to try making him dinner to celebrate (and has never been asked out before so he's Oblivious), so he mentions this. Clara's "like oh yeah maybe your roommate can join us, if he's chill with it," John mentions his roommate is a girl, and Clara just goes "...oh." And like. Walks away.
Shelby shows up to pick up John and she looks so tired. John's like "hey bestie are you okay"
• Shelby tells John how she's just really focused on completing the Lego set she got earlier- the way she talks about it, like how Focused she is on getting it done, prompts the other players to theorize the Lego set is partially haunted or cursed by the dead son of the neighbor she got it from (I, meanwhile, assumed Shleby was just having an ADHD hyperfocus moment). John goes Protective Friend and convinces her to to go bed, also revealing her full name (Shelby Nicole Waters). There's a Bit about John not knowing if he has a middle name (he doesn't). • John learns Song's house exploded and he's like "it fucking what-" • He makes sure she gets to sleep, and after she does, he watches her for a few moments to make sure she's okay. Unlike the other times he's done this, he doesn't think about killing her this time.
• We all head to Emmett's— Louis chases Ken away when he tries to join us. When we get down there Markus tells John to quit his job, and Song is GLARING at the monster man, who's absolutely looking down at the floor, he Does Not want to look at her. • Louis goes on this Giant Rant to Emmett about how everything in this town is weird, have you noticed that? Like this town was made to keep all the weird stuff inside it. Literally nothing and no one about this town is normal. • Emmett says he knows this, and says he's spent years studying the town because of it. Wild. [as this is happening, John glances over at Song to make sure she's okay] • When Markus asks Emmett if he found out what the plastic was about, and Song is all "Oh I can explain that actually." She lies and says that some of her uh. Toys, got ruined in the explosion. [• We get very distracted for a moment because of this, both out-of and in-character] • We learn about the plants. Theyre venomous, highly adaptive, invasive, etc. They almost seem like Hunters, aka what John is, but as plants. • Markus tells everyone to meet them at their house since theyve got something to show the rest of the Cast. We split up. • Song and Louis hang out and the crooked's place as Song looks up a place to stay and gives him the weapons. Louis gets a message from Lestat, and heads over. • Going against a meaningful conversation he and Song had literally less than five minutes ago, Louis falls to Lestat's manipulations and lets the vampire feed upon him. • John is the only one to show up. Markus refuses to show him what they were gonna show the cast, bc then theyd have to show it twice and they dont wanna do that. John and Markus have a conversation that starts with him asking why they thought he didn't to be fixed. Markus tells John he's caring, strong- nothing's wrong with him, he just needs to work on self control. They end up becoming friends again, and John helps them feed their bugs. • When he gets home, he sees the partially-built Lego set on the kitchen counter, and feels the Urge to continue building it. He turns away, not wanting to interrupt Shelby's project– a Luck point is spent, and his Monstrous side will be worse when it emerges next.
Notes:
I FUCKED UP I LOCKED MYSELF OUT OF DATING CLARA NOOOO [John my beloved he's going to ask her what he did wrong next week (and then he's going to quit his job. bc really he Also really doesn't like the plant thing)]
JOHNS CANONICALLY THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING SHELBY BEFORE, WE STAY WINNING /hj
Something about how John feels guilty about almost killing Song and how he wants to make it up to her
That conversation where Song explained the plastic? I was like "GIRL REMEMBER YOUR GEAS ABOUT NOT TELLING US, YOU'LL D I E" and then she Lied, killing me instantly
John wanting to be a good friend to Shelby is continuously fucking up his life /JJJJ (I can't wait for him to go all Monstery again it'll be so so fun)
Louis takes a break during his rant to mention how he has No Idea how Markus has even survived this long, and everyone agrees that Markus is literally the most normal person in this group. There's great dramatic irony here, given how Markus is in fact Full of Bugs and made everyone forget about that
I didnt say anything about it in-game but hello? Markus? self-control??? John had avoided killing humans by eating forest animals for three years he was doing such a good job. why do you Think he's so torn up about hurting Song
LOUIS. LOUIS IM GOING TO KILL YOUR EX BOYFRIEND. God that scene was so. ougghughghghgjh. fucking christ

Are we not Engaged? Part 6
Spoilers under the cut
- Morion left Roy with Diamant because he’s a fuckin’ idiot and wants a “fair fight”.
-Morion has Hyancyth at swordpoint and just... stands there and lets him put Lyn’s ring on. Slowly. While ranting. Morion dies an idiot’s death and so does this game’s plot.
-Ivy and her boobs are here to stop us from interfering with them reclaiming Morion’s body. Hyancyth tells Ivy to stop us even if it means sacrificing herself.
-Alear spares Ivy, arguing Hyacinth doesn’t want her back since the weather already slowed us down. Big nice, the villains just tossing aside loyal minions for no reason.
-Seems Sombron needs the 12 emblem rings to restore his full powers permanently, but by eating idiot Morion’s corpse Sombron can get his power back temporarily.
-Oh no, Anna’s sad that I haven’t deployed her. Why you gotta do this to me, game :(
-We’re lost in the now, but Azura dragon loli showed up! \o/
-”How did you get here?” She just kinda gets around lol.
-Veyle noticed the Marth Emblem Ring and kinda went into a trans. It was all very short and weird.
-Why’s everyone acting like Morion ain’t already dead, he got shot in the chest lol.
-Alear Louis B: Louis has 3 younger brothers for whom he was promoted to parent after his mother died.
-Alear Citrinne C: Citrinne wants to get Alear a gift for helping her in battle. Alear’s kinda modest about it. Citrinne wants to give Alear a private island, lol. Alear naturally refuses and asks instead for something money can’t buy, which seems to blow Citrinne’s mind.
-Framme Diamant C: Framme messed up duties so Vander’s making her study, but Framme doesn’t like history. Diamant tries to coax her into being more diligent. Framme mimicking Vander’s kinda cute though, and she kinda admits it’s hard to focus on studying past wars while stuck in an ongoing one.
-Celine Louis B: T T E E A A. They’re drinking the super tea from their C support, Celine is super happy. Louis apparently got wounded by wild animals on the way to getting the tea, which upsets Celine.
-Citrinne Alcryst B: Citrinne’s sad about the results of her training, and thinks she doesn’t deserve to be Alcryst’s retainer. Citrinne is actually Alcryst’s cousin and says she wants to protect him because she sees the good in him that he can’t. This is actually a pretty nice support.
-Amber Diamant C: Amber had a truth potion but breaks it open ‘cause he’s an idiot. It effects him and he thanks Diamant for making him his retainer. He’s noticeably more subdued under the effects of the truth potion.
-The fuck, Etie dislikes “precise work”. She’s an archer!
-Seems bandits can also spawn on the world map, not just corrupted.
-Anyways, on to chapter 10! Consecutive battles ahead. Ominous!
-Fuck, it’s Hortensia.
-Seems the girl who killed Lumera appeared alongside Sombron and psycho bitch and the others.
-Hortensia has a new Emblem Ring.
-Marth has a bad feeling ‘cause Sombron is here and urges Alear to flee at the first sign of trouble. It’s been a while, but the game’s shoving Marth down my throat again.
-Marth, stop throwing... whatever the Emblem equivalent of Death Flags are.
-Hyacinth accuses Alear of killing Ivy and Alear just... fails to correct him. In front of Hortensia.
-Oh no, Morion’s a corrupted now! I don’t care lol. Morion was an idiot. Looks like the ritual was done. Marth urges Alear to retreat but Diamant and Alcryst refuse.
-Shit, Hortensia has Byleth now :(
-I USED CHAIN GUARD PRODUCTIVELY! I AM GOOD WITH THINKING N’STUFF :3
-Hortensia almost merc’d Alear with Luin. Still, good on her for putting Relics to their proper use.
-I think I aught to let Hyacinth come to me.
-Hycainth was a bit spooky with Lyn but luckily he just blew his load with her Engage attack and created duplicates just to move away from them. I wonder if you can make dups and then attack on the same turn? Otherwise they don’t seem TOO useful. Still I like the reference to Lyn making after-images in her crit animations in Fe7.
-Surround Hyacinth and give him the Denning treatment!
-Lol he’s a coward
-Evil dragon loli saved him
-Fucking Sombron jumpscare. Does this game just not have animations for enemies arriving?
-Sombron killing Hyacinth now lol.
-Oh Sombron is actually pretty fucking scary, nice job there.
-Lyn’s ring is okay at least
-Hortensia big big mad
-Gasp, Azura dragon loli is actually Hierophant dragon loli!
--Fell princess lol
-Oh she’s a split personality. She doesn’t recognize Alear.
-Oh boy it’s psycho bitch. Zephia’s a mage dragon. The rest of the hounds are human. They’re all fucking clowns and idiots aside from Mauvier, please let him be the one to live. Especially not Zephia or the armor loli.
-Seriously, why are the villains in this game SO FUCKING TRASH. They’re all fucking psychos and they aren’t even entertaining about it, at least Garon was so over the top he was funny. It even extends to Ivy who had a personality swap after I beat her the first time.
-Fucking Veyle just STOLE the rings AND the time crystal while Alear wasn’t looking, how’d she pull that off. Also now the game confirms the time crystal is a plot thing so I’m free to mock it for not using it as an all-solving hammer. At least 3H handwaved Byleth not using Divine Pulse more aggressively in cutscenes.
-Oh no, not Maaaaaaaaarth. I don’t fucking care about Marth, give Celica, Micaiah, and Sigurd back :(
-Wait, how’d we get past the four hounds. They were in the way.
-Ivy with the save! Ivy and Zelkov are the shit. Ivy has Lyn and Lucina and the time crystal.
-Oh no, Wendee Lee stole another job from a starving voice actress.
-Zelkov’s bases are fucking insane what.
-LUCINA SAID THE LINE, GUYS!
-Alear going from Marth to Lucina is kinda funny in a meta narrative sense.
-I gave Lyn to Chloe though. Kinda nice to get a benefit from overkill speed and also it lets her shoot down opposing fliers hopefully.
-Chapter 10 was pretty long and Hortensia was actually annoying ‘cause she was a threat to Alear, Louis, and Etie. Chapter 11 was actually pretty harrowing but that Freeze staff bastard kinda ruined it. The dragons are pretty cool though, nice to see New Mystery style dragons with the area footprint of 3H monsters coming back. I wanna see if Engage uses them better than 3H did. Fighting Emblems woulda been worse but the enemy kinda deliberately put them on chumps, which is a mercy I’m grateful for. I’m gonna miss Celica and Sigurd badly :(
-Alear Diamant B: Alear’s scared of corrupted and tries to get Diamant to empathize. Diamant remains absurdly boring.
-Louis Yunaka B: Yunaka’s on-guard around Louis because he’s good at getting her to speak too freely.
-Alcryst Diamant B: Diamant’s scared of mages.
-Diamant Ivy C: Ivy’s scared of ghosts, Diamant gives her a shiny stone to help her calm down, she’s touched.
-Yunaka Zelkov C: Zelkov knows she’s a former killer, and she knows he is too. They’re both retired though.
-Ivy Alear C: Ivy’s awkward around Alear for now.
