You already know I'm thirsty for the boys playing hockey. This time, it's Sam's turn 😈
Warnings: Smut. So much Smut. (F receiving, penetration)
Word Count: 5.4k
I watch as number six whips by my seat towards the opponent's goal with the puck. The buzzer goes off not even thirty seconds later, followed by the announcer over the speakers and the roaring crowd.  
“Defenseman Sam Kiszka with the goal!”
My heart pounds like a bass drum in my chest for my favorite player. For every home game the team has, I’m present in my season pass seats. 
Tonight though, tonight is different. 
As part of an agreement with a foundation the team is partnered with, the hockey players are taking some season pass holders out after the game. I’m still not over the shock of the email I got earlier this week sending me instructions for later on. The game continues well into the third period as my heart continues to race. 
Sam assists with three more goals, ultimately winning the team the game for the evening and securing their place in the Stanley Cup Finals. The home crowd is unruly at this point, it's getting harder and harder to hear my own thoughts.
My body moves on autopilot as I swim through the excited fans. The closer I get to the place where I’m going to meet Sam and the other players that are coming out tonight, the faster my heart goes. 
I’ve had these season tickets for two years now. I wasn’t going to get them again after me and my ex broke up, but I found that I actually enjoyed hockey. Guess I can give my ex credit for one thing, and one thing alone. Can’t give him too much credit, that big head of his will explode.
 I shake it off, not needing to think about him tonight and instead refocus my thoughts on number six. 
—-------------------
I’m sitting in a room with a few other winners for tonight while we wait for the players to shower. The jittery nerves of all of us fill the air as we talk about our favorite players and the game tonight.
“I can’t believe our goalie got a shut-out tonight,” the girl on my left says. I’m just about to agree with her, about how the shots were whipping through air faster than I could see - but then the man on my right chimes in.
“Do you even know what a shut-out is? Or are you just repeating the announcer from tonight?” He says with a scoff. 
“What the fuck is your issue, dude?” I say as I turn my whole body to him. Before I can continue a deep voice from the door cuts me off. 
“What she said. Honestly, I have no patience for this shit tonight. You can leave.” 
All three of us turn to face Sam standing in the doorway, arms crossed. He looks smaller without his padding on, but he’s still extremely intimidating with his presence. 
“I..I, come on man, it was a joke.” The man’s frantic eyes pan over to me and the girl he just insulted moments ago. Desperation rolls off of him in waves.  “Right?” 
“Didn’t sound like a joke to me, now leave.” Danny, the goalie, appears behind Sam. 
Two of them in the doorway is definitely enough for the man to listen and scurry out of the room. He keeps his head down as he sheepishly walks between the two players out of the room. Now all that’s left is me, and the mystery girl to my right. I try not to focus on that too hard. 
“Now that that's over with,” Danny continues, “let us introduce ourselves. I’m Danny, and my buddy here is Sam.” He hooks a quick arm around Sam’s shoulders and pulls him in close, Sam doesn’t look very amused. 
“My name is Faye.” 
“And I’m Y/N.” 
A wicked grin appears on Danny’s face. “Faye, Y/N.. Are you ready to party like we just got our slot in the finals?” 
Both of us jump to our feet to follow them out to the car that’s waiting for us. Danny motions to have us go out the door first, and as I pass the threshold I feel a large hand on the small of my back. I look up to see Sam next to me, guiding me through the hallway. 
“It’s about to get hectic for a moment, just stick with me.” He says. His voice is low, his breath tickles my ear. 
I glance behind us and see Danny intertwined with a giddy Faye. Her arm is firmly planted on his bicep while his other hand comes up to cover hers. Faye’s bubbly personality is infectious, as I find myself leaning into Sam’s touch. 
He was right, it is pandemonium when we step out into the garage to get into our waiting SUV. The yells of reporters become blurred as we basically run to the open door of the car. 
“Sam! How does it feel to have so many assists?! And even a goal!”
“Another shut-out Danny?! How do you keep doing that?!” 
“The Stanley Cup Finals!!” 
The door to the SUV finally shuts and the reporters are nothing but a muffled noise. Looking around inside, the vehicle we’re in is overly spacious. Sam and I have a complete row to ourselves while in front of us sit Faye and Danny in a row of their own. 
The way Sam settles into his seat with comfortable confidence is hard not to watch. He immediately looks at home in the back seat and stretches his legs out in front of him. His knee softly hits mine and I can’t tear my eyes away from the unintended contact. Quickly, I look up to Faye, as if she can feel the sudden rush of heat to my lower belly. She’s leaning in and laughing with Danny, so definitely not. My eyes go back to our knees. 
Sam’s not saying much of anything, just sitting with his arms crossed behind his head, eyes closed. Blissfully unaware of how I’m reacting to this situation, which is not graceful whatsoever. I tell myself no, no, no as I let my eyes slowly graze over his body. It isn’t until my eyes reach his playful smirk that I notice his eyes flutter open. 
“Enjoying what you see?” Sam mutters quietly so only I can hear, but that doesn’t stop the heat from racing to my cheeks. “No need to be embarrassed, sweetheart. I like what I see.” Sam’s eyes rake down my body and I almost feel naked from it. “I’ll make sure you’re warm enough tonight,” he says gesturing to my outfit. “Although if you could stand the rink wearing that, you should be fine in the December weather.” 
He’s kind of right, I have been on the verge of freezing all night. But how do you come dressed for a night out when you have to attend a hockey game first? My thigh high boots leave a couple inches before my sweater dress covers the rest. Usually, I’d wear Sam’s jersey and some leggings to the game, but my friend warned me about looking like a “puck bunny” and now.. here we are. 
Before I can respond the SUV comes to a stop and Danny turns to face us. “Ready to go have some fun?” He’s quick to jump out of his door once it opens, holding out his hand for Faye. 
Sam leans over me and it feels like my heart stops for a second. His fingers make quick work of the latch, releasing the seat in front of me so I can get out. “After you,” he says. I start to climb out of the car, hoping that I do and don’t give Sam a little show with my short dress. I swear I can feel his eyes boring into me, and it only makes me clumsier. After a painful minute, I’m finally out of the puzzle that is the back seat, and I turn around just in time to watch Sam exit gracefully as hell. Perrrfect. 
We follow Danny and Faye to a roped off area labeled VIP and my throat gets a little tighter. Once we step inside Danny turns to all of us. 
“Sam and I are going to get our first round, we’ll be right back.” Both Faye and I are nodding in response as they’re already halfway out of the VIP section and on their way to the bar. 
When they leave us, Faye’s standing in front of me with her arm reaching out. I’m thrilled to have the invitation, grabbing her hand eagerly. “I can’t believe we’re fucking out here with them,” she says to me. 
“It feels like a dream, this can’t be real.” Without warning, Faye pinches my butt. I let out a little yelp. She laughs.
“Definitely real.” We both turn and watch them talk to the bartender with ease. “What do you think they’re going to bring back?”
“Something dangerous, that’s for sure.” 
Faye was right. We watch the boys swim through the busy club back to us. A soft, light drink in one hand, and a dark, small pour in the other. I can’t tear my eyes away from Sam as he seems to effortlessly glide across the room. His eyes meet mine and the same playful smirk he gave me earlier slides onto his face again and I can feel my cheeks getting twenty degrees hotter. Before I can fully register it, Sam is standing in front of me, the soft drink I hoped was for me is outstretched my way. 
“Thank you,” I say as I take the drink out of his hands. I take a small sip and am happy when I’m greeted with a fruity drink. “This is exactly what I would’ve ordered.” I can’t help but laugh. I look over to Faye and Danny but there nowhere to be found in our small area. As I’m glancing around Sam comes up to my ear, he’s so close I can feel his breath on my neck.
“Want to dance?” 
I don’t want to say anything with the fear I’ll sound incoherent, so I just nod. He laughs, throws back the rest of the dark liquor in his glass, then outstretches his hand to me. I stumble for a moment, unsure if he wants me to grab his hand. It’s when his playful smirk appears once again that I let myself put my hand in his. It seems to be so easy for him as he pulls us through the crowded dance floor, meanwhile I’m reminding myself to breathe. 
I’m not paying attention when Sam finally stops, and I bump into his back. He turns to me laughing, of course, and reaches out to grab my elbow. 
“You ok?”
Again, I just nod. Why has Sam made me unable to form words? Another laugh escapes his lips as he turns me around then plants himself firmly against my back, one hand on my hip. I freeze. I wasn’t expecting to be this close with Sam at all, and now I’m in his arms? He starts to sway to the music as I look around and finally spot Faye. She’s wrapped up extremely close with Danny as they dance, it almost feels like a private moment I shouldn’t be watching. 
Sam’s breath is hot against my ear once more and I swear I feel the heat drop straight down to my core. “There’s something about you,” his lips graze my ear. “I’m intrigued, I need more.” His hand starts softly sliding up my side as if he’s testing the waters. I take a hefty sip of my drink as I back into him, just a little bit. The growl against my ear has me squeezing my thighs together. 
His hand reaches the bottom of my breast and for a moment, I forget we’re in public. I want him to go further, I want him to touch me more. I feel his index finger glide along the bottom of my breast causing me to back into him again and I’m shocked when I feel something stiff greet me. I let my head loll on his shoulder as we sway. His hand starts going back south, passing my hip and playing with the hemline of my short dress. Suddenly, this dress was a fantastic idea. I’m glad I suffered in the arena for this. 
His fingers find my bare thigh and grip tightly and I swear I could dry hump this man in the middle of the club without a single fuck to give. Sam’s hand moves back up to my hip and starts to turn me around so we’re face to face again. He slides one leg in between mine and gets even closer to me. His hand finds his way to my ass and I revel in the touch. 
Sam’s head drops to my neck where he leaves feather light kisses in his wake. I’m melting in his touch and he knows it. I can’t help myself as I ask, “is this what you normally do with the winners?”
He pulls back and grabs my chin with his free hand. “Absolutely not. Like I said, Y/N, there’s something about you. I need more.” His eyes bore into mine and it feels too intimate, I try and look away. “Don’t you trust me?” 
“Why would I? I don’t know you.” 
“That’s true, baby.” Our faces are millimeters apart now. “But if I want to make you see stars for a night, isn’t that okay?” 
My resolve fully leaves as our lips touch. The smoky liquor tastes is still heavy on Sam’s tongue and it tastes fucking divine. His hand moves to the side of my neck as we devour each other on the dance floor. He pulls away too soon for my liking, peppering my lips with light kisses. 
“Fuck, Y/N. What are you doing to me?” Sam asks while he grabs my ass tight. A little moan escapes my lips and my eyes go wide. The club comes back into my peripheral and I remember that we’re not alone. All Sam does is laugh and come back in for another kiss. He rests his head on mine as we not-so-subtly grind together on the packed floor. Sam’s hand leaves my neck and goes back to exploring the curves of my body while the other stays firmly planted on my ass, keeping us swaying to the beat. Sam spots the forgotten drink in my hand and nods to it. 
“I thought this was what you would’ve ordered yourself. Do you not like it?” 
“I like it, just a tad distracted.” His eyes dance all over my face, lighting up in amusement. 
“What’s distracting you, baby?” He says as he laughs.
“You should know.” I bring the straw to my lips slowly, making a show of the whole thing. I hollow my cheeks as I suck, watching Sam swallow as he watches me. I take three gulps before his hand is on mine lowering the drink away from my lips. 
Sam’s quick to replace the straw with his own lips, the hand on my ass tightening in response. His tongue brushes against my lips asking for an invite I’m all too willing to give. My hand snakes up to his neck, his long hair tickling my knuckles as I make my way up to his jaw. I know his jaw is sharp, but feeling it with my hands is a totally different level. I separate my lips from his and I swear I hear a whine pass his lips. I attach my lips to his jaw, giving him the same feather light kisses he was giving me earlier. When I reach his ear and graze my teeth against his earlobe, he gives me a small growl. I’m living for it. 
I start to become braver as I skate my hand down his neck onto his chest. I’m greeted by a hard, chiseled surface underneath the dress shirt he has on. I keep moving my hand down until I find the spot where I can dip under his shirt. His hip feels like it’s on fire with how warm it is in my grasp. Another growl escapes Sam as he grips my chin in his hand, forcing us to make eye contact.
“If you want to keep going,” he places a quick kiss on my lips. “Let’s get a room.” Another kiss. “Too many eyes here for what I want to do with you.” 
I stutter for a moment, not thinking we would’ve gotten this far. Looking into his dark brown eyes, he looks so serious. For a moment I swear I see a flash of fear that I’m going to turn him down. 
“Absolutely.” I respond with a soft kiss. Relief floods Sam’s eyes as that playful smirk I’ve come to adore tonight shows itself again. I couldn’t say no, I want this too. He takes the empty glass from my hands and replaces it with his free one. Guiding us once again effortlessly through the crowd. He brings us back to the bar top and discards my glass, but then waves the bartender down and orders two shots. 
Sam’s arm slips around my waist, bringing me close to him. I take the opportunity to place my hand back on his chest while we wait. The bartender comes back and places two, thankfully clear, shots in front of us. 
“To tonight,” Sam says while handing me my glass.
“To tonight.” I reply as we clink our small glasses together and simultaneously throw them back. 
We discard our glasses and his arm stays wrapped around me as we leave the club. I didn’t realize when we first got here with how we ran inside, but the club is part of a casino. There are hotel rooms for people who visit and play too late. Then there’s rooms for people like Sam and I. He guides us to the hotel front desk before stopping in front of the little waiting area all lobbies seem to have. 
“Wait here, I’ll get us our room.” He plants a kiss on my forehead and turns to the desk. I watch as he talks with the person working, standing so confidently as he gets us a room for the night. I let my eyes slowly work down his body, I can’t hear what they’re saying anyways. His long dark hair just passes his shoulders, down to his defined back and shapely ass. I’m still staring as he turns around and smiles at me. 
“Ready?” Sam says with a laugh.
I bring a hand up to my mouth, almost sure I was drooling over him. I wasn’t, thankfully. I nod and stand, making my way over to him. He takes my hand once I reach him and gives me a quick kiss before guiding us over to the elevators. We’re quiet as we listen to the ‘ding’ of the elevator making its way down to us. The nervous, excited energy between us is electrifying. When the final, sweet ‘ding’ we’ve been waiting for Sam ushers me in as soon as the doors open. He’s almost feral as he fumbles for the close door button and smashes the floor number we’re going to. We both stand on the edges of the elevator as we watch the silver doors close. 
As soon as they do, Sam’s hand is around my wrist dragging me towards him. I give a small yelp to the unexpected but welcomed motion. Our hands are all over each other as our lips fuse together. His teeth grab onto my bottom lip, dragging slowly across them. I can’t help but moan at the feeling. It feels too quick when we hear the ‘ding’ signifying we’ve hit our floor. His hand is around my wrist quicker than I can register his lips are off mine. He’s basically dragging me down the hall with how dazed I am from our elevator makeout that I run into his back when he stops at our door. His back shakes while he laughs and digs out our key card from his pocket. 
“Ready?” Sam says while looking back at me.
“Ready.” 
Sam opens the door fully and lets us inside, and I’m unsure what I was expecting with a pro athlete but it wasn’t this. We walk into a living room style area with two doors leading into other places. One door is open, and I can see a bed just inside. The other door I assume is the bathroom. Sam’s at my back now as I take in the room, running his hands up and down my sides while he presses kisses into my neck. 
“Wow,” I finally say after much too long. 
Sam’s quicker with his response.“Only the best for my girl.” 
My mind catches on to that. His girl. The heat between my thighs intensifies as I turn around to look him in the eye. “I knew I was right about you.” Is all he says before he hoists me up. My legs instinctively wrap around his thighs and he kisses me hard like he needs this. It doesn’t take long before I feel Sam fall back onto a plush surface. It takes me a moment to realize he’s made his way to the bed already, and we’re sitting on the edge of it. He takes the opportunity to push my short dress up, and I thank the heavens above I decided to wear dark green lace panties. I swear I see Sam’s pupils dilate as he stares, bringing his finger to outline my folds. 
My breathing has become staggered, we’re both focused on his hands. He keeps one in front slowly tracing me, while the other grabs onto my bare ass. My head lolls back for a moment, the feeling of his hot hands are overwhelming. I gasp and snap my head back down to where his fingers land. He’s found my clit and he’s not shy about it, his fingers worship me as they slowly touch me. I can feel myself unwinding, and I want some sort of friction. It feels like Sam can read my mind now as the hand on my ass pushes me up towards his hard bulge. Once I make contact I swear we both stop breathing. 
We both watch silently as I fumble with his button. When I finally get it done I waste no time with his zipper and raising on my knees momentarily so he can pull them down. I love that he leaves his boxers on for me to peel off of him. I sit back on him with just our underwear separating us and we both gasp. My hot center meeting his hard cock is almost too much. Both of his hands move to my ass as he makes me grind him, earning a moan from me. Sam’s hands move to the bottom of my dress, lifting it over my head and off of me. 
He holds me by the waist and leans back to look at me. “Fuck,” is all that passes his lips before he’s flipping us over and has me laid out on the bed. I look up at him through surely hooded, desperate eyes. 
“I want you.” 
“Baby, I want you too, but I need to taste you first. Fuck, you look-” Sam looks up at me with eyes that are so dark I don’t see color anymore. His hands wrap around my panties as he looks up at me with a silent question. I nod, letting him know this is okay and he quickly pulls them down and throws them on the floor. 
Sam looks at me one more time with those dark eyes before lowering himself to my center. He takes his time, leaving small kisses on my thighs that have me raising my hips up, leading him to what I want. 
“Needy girl,” he chastises and I swear to God I melt into the bed. He presses a singular kiss on my clit before licking against my pussy. My eyes roll back into my head as he eagerly laps at me and I weave my fingers into his hair. With it being long, I have more to grab and I didn’t realize how much I would enjoy it. I’m close, and Sam knows it as he pays special attention to my clit. He inserts a finger inside of me, expertly hitting that spot I can only hit with my vibrator at home. 
“Sam, fuck yes.” I cry. He moans against me and that’s all I need to be pushed over the edge. My thighs tighten around his head as I ride his face through my orgasm. He doesn’t stop until I’m squirming away from him trying to push his head away.
“Oh, I’m not done with you. You taste fucking delicious. You can give me one more before I go inside of you, can’t you?” He attaches his mouth back onto my pussy and I’m rendered useless. I grab back onto his hair as he licks and fingers me, making me incoherently babble. My second orgasm comes out of nowhere and hits me like a freight train. I’m squeezing Sam’s head so hard with my thighs I’m afraid I’m going to kill him. I’ve never come twice from someone going down on me, and now Sam’s got me second guessing everything. 
Once I finally come down he presses soft kisses to the insides of my thighs and my hips, slowly making his way up my body. It’s then I notice his cock straining against his boxers. Sam follows my eyeline down and that playful smirk appears once more. In a flash he flips us so that he’s laying down and I’m on top. My sensitive center rests on him once we flip and I become ravenous. 
“Think you can help, baby?” I look up to Sam’s eyes which are hooded and still dark. Being this close I can see that his pupils are blown out, I press a soft kiss on his lips where I can taste me, and I’m a little surprised to find I like it. I like that this man tastes like me. At some point during our interaction he unbuttoned his shirt and taken it off, showing me his whole body. I kiss my way down until I hit his boxers, then I grab them on both sides so I can bring them down as I go. 
As soon as I get it over his cock it springs free, and is very hard. I waste no time bringing my lips to the head and wrapping them around it. I’m rewarded with a deep, husky moan. I take my time playing with the head of his cock with my tongue. I feel his hips buck and I swear I hear a ‘please’. Without warning, I take him to the hilt, slightly choking on him. His hand flies to the back of my head with a ‘fuck’ and he lets me bob my head a couple of times before he’s pulling me off. 
“I need to be inside you, please baby.” He flips us back over and grabs a condom resting on the nightstand. Once he is sheathed, he places the head teasingly at my entrance. I watch as he drags it up and down, playing with my clit too.
“Sam, please.” I sound desperate and I don’t care because before I can even finish my plea he’s slowly pushing inside of me. We both loudly moan as he pushes deeper and deeper until he’s sitting at the hilt. He leans down and kisses me. I bite his lip and he groans while trying to push even deeper into me. 
Without warning, he pulls out quickly then pushes back in, making my eyes roll into the back of my head as I loudly moan. He keeps his slow rhythm while keeping his lips on me. My hand instantly grips his arm as he attaches his mouth to one of my hard nipples. He bites, just enough for a small bit of pain before he lets go and gives the same attention to my other one. 
I’m completely lost in Sam and I don’t mind one bit. I run my hands up and down his bicep, feeling the ridges in his muscles. His lips are the most distracting, anywhere they go they have my utmost attention that I actually whine when he pulls them away completely. He leans down so they graze my ear.
“I want you on top, is that okay baby?” 
“Yes, please yes.” 
Snaking his arm around my waist, he swiftly flips us over. Helpingme so I’m sitting upright on him. I place my hands on his hard stomach as I slowly move up and down with every intention of driving him absolutely crazy. Sam reaches out and pinches my nipple which has me moaning and moving my hips quicker in response. 
“Not fair,” I whine, “I was trying to do something.”
“I could see it in your eyes, baby. You’re not very good at being sly.” He lifts his hips up to meet mine with every thrust. I can’t help but pick up the pace, he feels and looks so good under me. Sam looks up at me and it makes me feel so fucking powerful. 
“Such a good fucking girl,” Sam says as I watch him bring his finger to my exposed clit and starts to rub it as I bounce on him. The new added pressure is a very welcome feeling, but I’m even closer to the edge now. 
“Sam, please, I’m so close.” I don’t know what I’m even pleading for anymore, just that I want him. 
“Come for me, baby.” That was all I needed to be pushed over the edge, my orgasm hitting me hard and fast. “Baby, I’m right behind you,” is all he says before I feel him tense up underneath me, coming just as hard. I collapse on top of him, our heavy breathing in tandem as we stare at each other.
His eyes are flooded with color now, I almost feel foolish not seeing it before. The dark brown is littered with golden flecks, making his eyes look like they shine in this post-coital light. He reaches up a hand and brushes my hair away from my face and neck, then leaves it there to linger on my cheek. We stay like this for a couple moments in silent bliss before he slowly starts to pull out. 
“I’ll be right back,” Sam says as he makes his way to the en suite. I lay on the bed surrounded by the scent of Sam, of us, as I hear water start to run in the other room. It goes on for a little bit, and even though I know I should clean up, the soft sound has my eyes fluttering shut. “Y/N, baby.” Sam laughs as my eyes shoot open. He now has his boxers back on and his hair is up in a messy bun. “Come here, I’ll carry you.” 
I ask no questions as I shimmy to the edge of the bed where Sam scoops me up bridal style and walks me into the en suite. It’s steamy and warm once we enter, and I realize the noise I was hearing was him running a bath. He sets me down on the counter and hands me a warm washcloth. His eyes never leave my face as I clean up and discard the washcloth, then he lifts me once more and places me in the tub. The warm water is a welcome hug but it feels like something is missing. 
“Sam, join me?” I reach out my hand to him and watch as his eyes light up.
“Scoot forward.” I move to scrunch in the tub, my arms wrapped around my knees as Sam settles in behind me. Once he’s seated, his hands land on my shoulders and pull me into him. This is now perfect. The warm water, the hot man running his hands along my arms in a comforting embrace. He buries his nose in my hair as I try to burrow even closer to him. 
“Tonight was nice.” Sam says softly.
“It was very nice, I didn’t expect this.”
“I didn’t either, but I’m glad you took the chance. Stay the night with me.” 
With my eyelids already heavy, it was an easy choice. “Okay.”

Will you ever write an Ashley Hunt scenario that shows his “yan” side? I wanna see this fine gentleman get possessive and violent/murderous. Cause we’ve seen it with the Delmonts many times, but there hasn’t been anything with Ash yet. I guess I and probably a lot of other readers are curious to know what’d happen if like MC tried to escape, or she was being courted by another equally charming out-of-town cowboy. (That’d be so cute to have a rival cowboy scenario to Ash!!!)
A/N: TW: YANDERE, 💀 BY PIG, VIOLENCE (NOT AGAINST READER)
To think all of Ashley's problems started with a help wanted sign at the local general store in his small town.
You, bless your heart, had been working there to help the older man Paul after seeing him struggling to stock his shelves one afternoon, that being said Ashley didn't have an issue with you working, because 1. Paul both adored and trusted him implicitly, meaning Ashley had access to the grainy CCTV footage of you whenever he had to be away, which wasn't often as he brought you lunch everyday and brought you to and from work. And 2. Everyone in town knew Ashley had laid claim to you He made it clear in every way their culture said, from placing his hat on you in public to only ever dancing with you at the town socials.
At least he thought everyone knew.
Tony was a man he'd gone to highschool with, and he wasn't fond of him then, so when you came home complaining about your new coworker every red flag was raised in his eyes, he made a point to stick around the next time he took you to work, not really needing an excuse to be there, Ashley simply made himself look busy and waited. Low and behold your new coworker came in the old door, the bell jingle sent a chill of anger down Ashley's spine. The second he recognized the man's face Ashley felt his blood pressure rise.
He knew the kind of vile, peaked in highschool kind of guy this dude was so it didn't take much to set him off, that same day he takes you home with a grin that falls the second he watches you enter your home, he drives back to the store breaking all the speeding laws in order to catch Tony just as he's leaving, Tony mistakes his greeting for something friendly, grinning his weasely smile, he begins talking about his new job and the next words from his mouth are the ones that seal his fate.
"You should see the pretty little thing I'm working with- boy I tell you what give me five minutes alone with her a-"
Ashley hit him before he could finish his perverted thought, busting his upper lip with the initial hit, Tony stumbles backwards a few steps, his nose disfigured and bloodied, crimson drips all over his boots, the dirt he kicks up in his attempt to get his bearings causing a cloud to cover the scene almost eerily.
The second his body hits the ground, he's trying to get up, but Ashley is on him before he can spit out the blood in his mouth. "Fuckin' pig." He wails on him with one hand, the other fist holding his collar in a vice grip. "Nah, yer lower than a pig- a fuckin' waste of air is what you are." With every word came another devastating blow to the man's face, by the time Ashley pulled himself out of the moment, the man's body was twitching, face bloated and bloody. Broken wheezes leave Tony's lips, "Still breathing Buddy? C'mon." He rises and freezes meeting the eyes of the shop owner, an older man who'd known Ashley since he was a young boy. After a moment of tension Ashley gave him a grin, still standing over the barely alive Tony. "Evening Paul."
Paul returns the grin, leaning on the store's front porch, "Evening Ashley, fine night tonight boy..you be careful getting home." He says without looking at the bloody man in the dirt. The older man puts the help wanted sign back up and Ashley can't help but chuckle to himself, he drags Tony by his cheap boots and hauls him in his truckbed, whistling a song from his childhood as he shuts the door with more force than necessary, still fuming from the bastards comments about you, his sweetpea.
"Tch. Right where you belong, almost a shame." Ashley says to himself , the words feign regret, but the satisfaction in his tone says otherwise, it's almost too easy for Ashley to haul Tony's still unconscious form out of his truck bed and across his shoulder, he tosses the body in the pig pen sitting in the very back of Ashley's farm.
As if it were a bale of hay, Ashley tosses Tony with a satisfying thud, it's occupants didn't swarm immediately, but they would within the hour. Ashley intended to watch. It was the only end befitting the scum before him he thought would atone for his sins against you. Ashley did such a number on him in the parking lot his face was unrecognizable.
He only felt his rage quell when he slipped into your room later that night when all was said and done, blood and mud on his jeans, he smiled down at you tranquility in his gaze, he couldn't be more at peace, knowing he'd made your life better with one simple action.

Seven (+) Sentence Sunday
Tagged by the very lovely @rainbow-nerdss, @fortheloveofbuddie @wikiangela @evanbegins and @daffi-990. Thank you! Can't wait for all your upcoming works!
In honor of the NFL regular season coming to an end today and the beginning of the playoffs, I'm sharing a part of a fan favorite. That's right ya'll, its an NFL Buck snippet! WOOOOO! (And I know this wayyyyy more than seven sentences, but are ya'll going to complain about extra NFL Buck?)
Eddie wasn't lying when he told Chimney he loved football. He just didn't say how much. When Chim invited the newest member of the 118 and his son to a kid friendly sports bar to watch the Rams play the Colts in Indy, he was expecting to be turned down. Hen encouraged it, "He needs friends that enjoy what he does. And I really can't listen to another rant about football stats or how Dustin Watson isn't taking the Texans to the tournament." "Deshaun Watson." Bobby corrected from the kitchen, "And its the playoffs." Hen rolls her eyes, "Whatever. You both have Sunday free and Buckley is playing, Christopher's favorite player." "How do you know the Ram's quarterback is playing, but not the name of the man who got Buckley kicked out of Texas?" Chim teased. "Denny." His friend answers simply, "You know he likes all things LA Rams." "Then why aren't you inviting Eddie and Christopher to your place to watch the game with Denny?" "Because Howard," Hen remarks a little sharply, "I'm not off Sunday and Karen has yet to meet Eddie, so it would be uncomfortable for everyone to have him in our home without me. Why are you arguing about this? You were just complaining about how Eddie and I are all buddy-buddy the other day." "You two have a lot more in common and somehow I always seem to stick my foot in my mouth whenever I talk to the guy. I freaking outed the dude!" Chimney reminds them. Bobby steps away from the stove and joins the two paramedics at the marble island, "Eddie wasn't making it easy for any of us to get to know him. Hen was just braver than most to actually approach him. Now its your turn and football is a good jumping point." Chimney opens his mouth to try objecting again, "And it will help in making up for the whole outing incident and interrogating his kid."
Cap had him there "And you'll pay." Hen demands and when Chimney arches a brow of slight disagreement she just shrugs and states, "It'll help dispel some of the notion of being his boyfriend's sugar baby and his birthday is the same week, making this an easy gift." And Hen made the kill shot. So Chimney awkwardly approached Eddie in the locker room at the end of their shift and invited him and Christopher to watch the game. He was happily surprised when Eddie said yes and brought an equally ecstatic Christopher with him without hesitation. Chim was additionally surprised with Eddie's total enrapture of the game, even more so with his undivided attention to the Ram's new quarterback, Evan Buckley. Every play the man made, Eddie was on his feet making some sort of comment. Good plays came with shouts of, "Good boy Buckley!" and "Great throw man!". Poor plays, interceptions, or missed opportunities, were met with, "Shake it off Buckley!" and "You got this Evan!" And any missed or bad calls from the refs... well Chimney knew foul language when he heard it, no matter what language. "We have a swear jar at home. It gets donated to Evan's charity at the end of the season." Christopher explains when he catches Chimney's questioning side glance after his father's latest f-bomb. Ah well, at least there's some sort of consequence to cursing in front of a child. "I have to pay up too if I say anything like my dad does, but I've never come close to his number." Chris adds on with a giggle and Chimney joins him with a low chuckle of his own. A niggle of curiosity has him asking, "And what about Buck?" The younger Diaz gives all his attention to what remains of his fries and shrugs with one shoulder, "Um... well I've never watched a game with Buck, but he does always double the jars total when we donate it." Chimney really wants to push on the whole matter of Eddie's partner of 10 years never once watching a game with the kid, but he knows interrigating Chris (again) about Buck (who is off limits unless otherwise brought up) would probably put an end to Eddie and Chim's burgeoning friendship. So he goes for a joke, "He must live with soap in his mouth if your dad is to go by." Earning a full belly laugh from the teen and Chimney counts it as a major win when Eddie glances back with bright grin.
I feel like Eddie and Chim have the whole, I'm friends with you because of a Buckley and because we work together thing. So take away the Buckley and its a bit of an awkward friendship, which I wanted to highlight and improve. Hope you all enjoyed!!!! More NFL Buck can be found here.

Please I need help!
Last day I visited the parents of my girlfriend and her father said that his daughter needs a alpha real man and not a caring and supporting pussy boyfriend, I think he’s planning something… I don’t know what to do!
Dude, no problem! Chronivac and Chronivac Support are there for such cases! I'll make your father-in-law-to-be and you colleagues. I'll make him a little younger. And you a little older. Well, he was only 16 when he knocked up your girlfriend's mother. So he had sex with the MILF of his dreams. And you, on the other hand, are already a few years older than your girlfriend. But never mind! The main thing is that the problem is solved. You are now best buddies. He can't imagine anything better than you dating his daughter.
Tumblr media
The only thing that matters is that you stick to the tradition of jerking each other off after every show.

On that anon ask of martyn in hc Id like to think it'd be even funnier if martyn doesn't make a hermitcraft vid and instead is just in bdubs and rens videos with no explanation and have his rivalry with bdubs and sometimes he just appears in the background of other hermits vids like a fuckin cryptid ajajcjx
[Regarding the concept of Martyn joining HC9 solely to start a comedic rivalry with Bdubs over being King Ren’s right-hand man]
You know what? You're right, and you should say it. He doesn't make a single video. Not one. Just - one day Bdubs' episode comes out, and he's doing some big schpiel about plans for the "kingdom" or whatever, and then he's unceremoniously interrupted by Martyn just being like "Hey, hold on, who said you were in charge here? Ren's the king around here, and I've been his Hand for way longer than you, buddy boy."
No explanation, no intro, no "InTheLittleWood joined the game" no NOTHING he's just there
Ren's planning out quests, and Martyn just suddenly appears at his shoulder and starts giving him ideas, and Ren's like "Ohhh yeah, you're so right my dude." and doesn't bat an eye
And - yes - fucking cryptid vibes, shows up in the background of other videos, rarely interacts with anyone else. Cub keeps catching glimpses up him and can't seem to convince people that he's real. Grian sees him once, makes some stray joke about him falling through the Rift, and never mentions it again. Scar is like "Oh! It's Martyn!" and doesn't question his presence there. Impulse and Tango somehow end up with Red Army banners at their bases (they don't call them that, the banners just happen to look EXACTLY the same) and never really bring up the fact that they're there. Xisuma, in a video, is like "I keep getting questions about a new member, but...we haven't added anyone this season. Trust me, I would know." and while he says this, Martyn goes by in the background, and Xisuma apparently can't even see him there.
We see Martyn stream on Hermitcraft ONCE and it's an ENTIRE stream of him plotting ways to piss off Bdubs, and that's IT. He doesn't answer questions of how/when he joined, he doesn't comment on how long he'll be there, he ignores questions about him sticking around for Season 10, he just plays dumb about the whole damn thing

being a bartender at bucks and officially meeting dallas after a couple of months of looking at eachother from across the bar
Oh my fuck. I love this so much bc yk what. My mom used to be a bartender for a while until she got a different job. And honestly being a bartender sounds hella fun 🤭
YK WHAT I MIGHT MAKE THIS A SERIES 🤭
Dallas Winston x Bartender! Reader (part 1?~)
First of all.
It took Dallas literally NO time to notice you
He wasn’t used to having someone at the bar other than Buck.
But honey, lemme tell you
You was lookin mighty fine 🤭
Bro went through so many emotion changes
Dude fr said “😐😮🤨😳👀😍🥰🤭🫶”
For the past few months he would stay downstairs during parties
Even if he was deprived of sleep
Just to see you
He would pretend that he was playing pool with a buddy (we’ll call his buddy mark)
And yeah, he was playing pool
But.
You were throwing him off
He missed almost every shot
Because he was distracted by you
It was almost like he was under a love spell or sum like that
People around town definitely say that he wouldn’t know what love is even if it hit him in the head.
But trust me
It hit him in the head alright
And it hit him hard
He was lovestruck
You was thinkin that you had somethin on your face
Yeah
A cute face
Everything about you trapped him in a trance
The way your h/c hair would fall when you let it down
The way you dressed
Your smile
Your e/c eyes
Your lips-
He was getting to into it
He definitely denied it when Mark caught him staring
“Hey, you alright, Dally?”
He would just nod his head, making quick and short glances at you.
His friend definitely caught on
“The bartender? Y/n?”
Dallas looked at him like boy wtf
“Huh?!” He said, propping his pool stick up, the other end on the floor
“I noticed you were staring”
“No wonder you’ve been missing your shots, you’re the pool champion”
Dallas shrugged his shoulders, looking at you with admiration
“Go talk to ‘er”
Dallas looked at him with shock
“Hell no. Never in a million years. Not even after forever and a day.”
Mark looked at him and said “why not? You obviously got the hots for her. There ain’t nothing wrong with a hookup”
But that’s the thing
You wouldn’t be just a hookup
He felt something different
Something more.
“Nah. It’s not that.”
His friend realized where he was going with this
“Ahhhh you don’t wanna hookup. Whatchu waiting for then?”
Dallas looked away and set the 8 ball in the middle of the table along with the rest of them, starting a new game, not saying anything.
Mark watched as Dallas ignored his question. He walked up to him and grabbed him by his muscle shirt. (God dayum 😳 yk that boy got muscles 🤭)
“What the hell is with you, dally?! You have never been so insecure about walking up to a woman! The worst she can say is no…unless you’re being a perv about it- but that’s not the point. The point is..you are tuff dally! You got this. If you play your cards right, you might get a girlfriend. Isn’t that what you want? Exactly. So get your ass over there.”
He said as he pushed Dallas in the direction of the bar table
The closer he got to you, the drier his mouth was getting
His palms were getting clammy,
Poor baby is shook to death
But he knows he just needs to play it cool
Like his buddy said
He needs to play his cards right
He stopped in front of the bar stool, sitting in it, almost falling out. That would have been embarrassing.
“Had one too many, sir?” You said jokingly
He chuckled. Your voice was heaven to his ears
“Nah. I haven’t even had any yet.”
He was sweating bullets
“Ah i gatchu.” You were making this drink for a customer when a middle aged man walked up and started asking you for a drink. You could tell he was already drunk.
“Of course sir, let me finish up with this customer and I will be right on it.” You said with a smile, adding the ingredients
“No, you need to hurry.”
Once Dallas heard him get an attitude with you, he was on alert, but calming himself down, figuring you can handle it yourself.
“Sir, I’m going as fast as I can.”
If you can’t be fast than maybe you shouldn’t be a bartender.” He sneered
“Bad things happen to bartenders. You know that, right?”
You were starting to get upset
You slam the cup down, making Dallas jump slightly.
“Listen here, sir. Bad things happen to drunk middle aged men when they start to criticize a woman’s job.”
You said on the verge of tears
Tonight was not the night for you
This almost made Dallas reconsider his decision.
He didn’t want you to get the wrong idea
“Who am I kidding. Bartenders are sluts anyway. Do your job right and we won’t have any problems.”
That was all it took
“Hey. Don’t talk to her like that.”
“She’s trying her best. You think she doesn’t already have enough stress? You have no right to talk to her like that. Have some respect. It’s almost like your mother never taught you how to treat a lady.”
The man just laughed
“Awww. And who are you? Her boyfriend?”He chuckled more
Dallas blushed slightly but hid it before you could see.
“No. I’m not. I’m just sticking up for a girl that has no right to be yelled at for doing her job.”
Your heart melted at his kind words, thinking about how he stood up for a complete stranger, especially you.
But to him, you weren’t a stranger.
You wiped your frustration tears away.
You knew about Dallas Winston. Everyone has.
There were rumors about him coming from every direction in Tulsa.
Example.
He is disrespectful.
You’ve heard about some things he did
Like stealing, being mean to little kids
But your opinion about him changed just now.
His words were so sincere.
The man left, frustrated with Dallas’s protection.
“Thank you so much. If drinks weren’t already free for you, they are now.” You said, your head in your hands, leaning on the bar.
He hesitantly rubbed your back as you took a breather
“Nah. I get some drinks from Buck, he lets me stay here. And you don’t have to give me anything. He was being an asshole.”
You let out a breathy chuckle, still a little scared.
“Yeah. He was. Anyway- what can I get for you?” You said.
This was his chance. Hopefully he doesn’t blow it.
“Um..possibly your name?..”
He already knew your name. I mean, you were a bartender at the place he lived
He just wanted to hear your soft voice
“Y/n. Nice to meet you.” You said sweetly.
He smiled at you, trying to fight the butterflies he was getting just now.
“I’m Dallas.”
You chuckled
“I know, I’ve heard about you.” You said as you wiped the cups, making drinks for customers.
Shit.
His chances with you are probably fucked now.
“Yeah. Uh- i-I’m not that mean of a person, I promise-“
You gave him as sweet smile, which cut him off other than your voice.
“I know. From what you did for me tonight, you ain’t no jackass.” You said, handing him a beer.
“So..you live around here?”
You paused, as you thought he knew
“Oh-um yeah actually. Buck gave me the spare room, I live here with you and him.”
That made him feel stupid, but it made him happier
“Oh. That’s nice. I probably would’ve talked to you much sooner if I knew”
You looked at him sweetly, putting the cup down gently.
“You know, we could hang out if you wanna. Unless you got some crazy girlfriend that goes crazy on your lady friends.” You joked
“You got this Dallas!!” Ya’ll heard Mark say from the pool table.
You laughed and Dallas blushed and told him to shut the fuck up.
“Nope. No crazy girlfriend. Nope nope nope.” He said, way quicker than he should have.
You laughed and caressed his cheek jokingly, you joke with all your friends like that.
“Good to know.” You said as you went up the stairs
He stayed behind, caught in a trance from your touch.
He put his hand on his cheek and walked back to Mark, who saw the whole thing.
“Seeee what did I tell ya?”
“She’s not my gf tho so the only thing you did was push me. And embarrassed me. “ (silly mark 😒)
“But hey! At least you made a friend? You got to talk to her.”
Dallas leaned against the pool table
“Yeah I guess” he said, touching his cheek.
He couldn’t wait to see you tomorrow.

It's kind of a sad statement of the LGBTQ community's fakeness and digital structure online when the only person I've been able to openly talk out my trans bullshit with is my het dude military buddy, and trust me, what I rage about would get me hung online by people with agendas, but I have a feeling they're things other old queer people sit on while we stare at this digital shithole making us all look like clowns.
On the other hand, it's particularly affirming when the same issues I deal with are things that set him off on Manrants.
Like listen, I already had to accept the terrible string of "i am a straight man" in order. Like man, do you know how long i clung to he/him lesbian and just avoided talking about what I can only call Phallic Issues?
Cuz there's not even anywhere to talk about it. For one it's difficult and often inappropriate and for two, a bunch of digital goblins that aren't looking to Pass As A Life They Live, but rather Stick Out In Digital Arguments With A Rainbow Label have made this fucking conversation ungoddamn navigable to the people it was actually originally about. There's some bored person with 2.5 kids who's husband still hasn't found their clit trying to figure out their sexuality coming in fucking up literal like neuroscience and other dialogue because, how dare the *straight man be here at all, much less like, talk about sexual shit. People can't do that, that's illegal.
So where am I left going? Literally to my dudebros, that say all kinds of shit I generally don't even agree with politically, but they're the only motherfuckers who haven't set up so many fake social justice fences based on their own personal garbage comfort demands so I can literally go, no. Can you believe these dipshits want me to explain like they're five what happens inside a man's head?
And they be like nah man that's a trap the second you breathe a word about it you're cancelled.
Yeah, no shit.
Honestly I'm tired of so many things. I mentioned recently that coming out as a trans straight guy is a trap. You're man enough to be the token straight punching bag, but not enough for your perspective to be considered in conversations, without being grilled to justify Basic Truths until you have to say some shit someone can act offended about. And boy are the terfs pissed and happy to blow them dogwhistles on us
God i'm tired
it's not the gamerdudes on reddit driving up the trans suicide rate. it's you assholes. They genuinely Do Not Care if you identify as attack helicopters. They don't. They don't care I'm a dude. They were basically like yeah what about it you've always been dudegirl that's whatever dude. It's this digital shithole that turns it into a whole goddamn ceremony fused with astrophysics.
I'd rather hang out with dudes I've known for 20 years that occasionally fuck up a pronoun by force of habit and actually laugh at how it looks/sounds now, than deal with you assholes acting like i skinned your child because I didn't read a 3 page Carrd about your narcissism or people who decide every convo is a chance to proselytize their own personal label's struggle.
And that says nothing about the fact that people have set up this conversation so we can't even address that YES, THERE ARE FAKERS. Are trans people dangerous, no. Are narcissists that can play boggle with gender arguments dangerous? Yes.
Think about 2po. I still call him him, because his friends, like his pal snotrag that doxxed my friend with him, even still calls him pat. But see, when he went viral as a proven fail and everybody was talking about pat, suddenly, pat had a gender discovery and was they/them will. Nevermind the more masculine name and that the person was initially a cis man, I guess they had a deep come to jesus moment and deeply identified as the Fail Gender. I guess that script blast was so hard it knocked the he/him right off of them. Considering the pepe memes his buddy uses, I wouldn't be surprised if 2po logs onto his personal to psot attack helicopter jokes and laugh at this godforsaken shithole.
(That's not to say all they/them nb is invalid either before some titanic dickhead proves the real point of this whole post and the need to add constant asterisks to avoid some shitheaded bored kid seeking attention starting a fight)
People only make the bad, dead, beat out joke at our expense because of the people that make us look like fucking comedy with their weird bullshit. Stop it.
But sure keep hyper obsessively segregating us into microlabels and pretending it's helping trans people or breaking down gender roles or what the fuck ever.
Yeah them microlabels are decent ways to describe facets of human sexual potential, and can/should be tools to help you sort your head out. But my bio shouldn't have to look like an ingredient label on processed food to engage in this conversation. It's not fucking complicated, Karen. If you have to do that many goddamn backflips to argue your way into this conversation maybe stay the fuck out of it.
Just because it's true that you don't need active dysphoria to be trans (and sometimes almost have Triggers specific to things like, I dunno, sexuality) doesn't mean it gets to be the jungle gym of every fucking teenager on the internet trying to figure out their general identity, and stop trying to call my still untransitioned trans ass a terf or a truscum for it, you fucking terfs. Stop flipping this shit around.
Literally if you look at twitter/tumblr, 50% of the world is trans. And while that's a charming thought for a dialogue about the repressed minority or the truth of Gender or whatever the fuck, in the real world, less than 1% identify, and those of us that exist in real world queer spaces might GENEROUSLY estimate maybe 5%? like cap? If I took 95% of you motherfuckers, unplugged your internet and dropped you in the Appalachians, you probably wouldn't be trans or care about trans issues by the time you stumbled out. But that's the life some of us have actually been through, so stop shitting on the mountain trail, it's rough enough out here.
Most of you are logging off to your 2.5 kids and husband anyway. Don't call me a biphobe for it. By all means sweetie go figure your shit out, fuck up and out whatever storm with whomever you want, go figure out your bullshit, but stop trying to make your bullshit the communal bullshit. We fucking get it. You got to the party late and your shit still has you uncomfortable. Stop trying to take over the fucking party, your music choice sucks. Back to the hetero world with you.
But most of you never will. You're never gonna pursue it. You're just gonna fuck around in our conversation to try to actually make it to conform to you, which somehow always makes the hets and terfs the dominant force on this conversation under all the screaming noise. You won't LET it impact your lives the way it has those that have lived experiences, you try to make US clean up and sterilize OURS. Lived experiences also doesn't mean Have Already Fucked And Found Out, and if you even thought that argument, disqualify yourself from ever speaking on this again, because you clearly aren't even vaguely in touch with the queer experience, you're in touch with the Seeking A Place To Belong experience. It's adjacent, but not the same.
Realistically, 99% of the supposed digital queer community are, at best, Questioning, and using digital personas to fuck around and find out. The fucking LGBTQ conversation has been just. utterly hijacked and clowned unto itself by people Questioning, but not willing to ask the hard parts, and demand those uncomfy parts stay away from their LARP.
Hard pass.

I NEED TO ASK A SCTIR QUESTION AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT SPOILERS: why on earth was lauchitas in that dungeon? From what I've seen, it was a trap or something? Also, was it ever mentioned why the wish stone was granted, or is that something that all L-grade dragons drop?
I mean, what I've constructed was that yoohyun was deliberately killed and yoojin granted the wish stone so that he could "get a head start" on recruiting S-Classes, so to speak, but I'm not sure if this is canon or not
Tumblr media
OK SO
The transcendent Diarma (who's like a dragon guy) wanted Yoohyun on his side, so he trapped Yoojin in that dungeon.
The second he realized yj was in there yh immediately tried to get in, to no avail, until Diarma offered to let yh in if he makes a contract with him. Which he did right away. hah.
Now here's the thing: Yoohyun wasn't supposed to be able to save Yoojin. Lauchitas was made to be no real threat to yh, while he would kill yj before anyone could do anything about it.
Once Yoojin died, Diarma could make Yoohyun his subordinate. He figured that Yoohyun would want to get stronger and help end the world. To Diarma yj was nothing but some pest holding yh back, that he could take advantage of
But what Diarma didn't expect was how willing yh was to give up his life for yj. His plan failed and he was left with nothing but a corpse in the end
And this is where Yoojin's transcendent buddies get involved, because they had the opportunity of using yj to achieve their goal in their own way. Now, their plan is.. reaaaal morally grey to say the very least. There are no perfect happy endings here.
(And finding out just what exactly they had planned for Yoojin punched me in the fucking nuts man. There was so much build up for it and I just couldn't exactly figure out what they would do and the answer.. god. my god. of fucking course. GOD)
There's definitely some stuff about the wish stone specifically that I missed, since I'm not sure. But sending Yoojin back was generally very advantageous - They could give him some mad powerful skills after all! And they all serve their purpose.
(But in regards to that I'd like to just.. ask what that might entail. His body isn't actually much stronger, but his skills are. It's a bit like a container that is somehow filled with more water than it can actually hold.)
And that plays into his existing skills, his nurturer title and his current objective: Gathering up 50 S-Classes.
Yoojin was meant to be collateral damage, but miscalculations on Diarma's end caused him to end up in the situation he's in now. He regressed to try and fix things but what happened still happened.
This specific event/reveal is a kind of turning point in the story (or rather Yoojin). Remember how there's a corpse left? Yoojin's spent the past chapters thinking "He's gone, I have to look forward". But is he really, fully gone now? Could yj really look past that?
Heres two fun panels!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These things will stick with him. The fact that he was meant to die, the fact that pre-regression Yoohyun is technically Still There somewhere and whatever reason Newbie and the other transcendents had for giving him those skills.
dude's fucked
If I got stuff wrong or missed something (I'm trying to avoid giving too many spoilers though) feel free to add something or ask questions ^^

Golden Wildfire Ch 8
Spoilers for GW up to Ch 8 below.
STORY
Shahid may as well have been called "plot tool" lol.
Are Claude and Edelgard going to make some kind of Alliance now? I hope he's not stupid about it.
Claude's like maybe attacking the larger, richer country with more soldiers and resources wasn't a good idea, lamo. As much as I loved punching the Empire for once rather than just always fighting defensively, Claude really picked up the stupid stick.
It hurts every time I see Judith.
Man, I don't like how they retconned Gloucester. He's getting treated like a saint now. It's so weird. I feel like they softened up a lot of people, and I'm not sure i like it.
Haha, at least he called the Empire foolish for starting a two-front war.
CAMP
Oh, wow, no side missions. I have two paralogues unlocked though, so I'll probably do those.
Honestly, I'm a bit relieved. These levels take forever and I'm not even putting time into plotting builds or anything. I def want to replay AG one day where I put more time into just building out all my favs.
Honestly, part of me is tempted to drop AG and speed run SB and GW (which are both really boring so far, sorry) so that way I can just blow through them and take my time with AG, but I can't imagine not going back to AG to keep me going lol.
I'll just do an indulgent, S-Rank everything, unlock all the everything AG type run later.
MARIANNE & BERNADETTA B SUPPORT
Not who I would've picked to support Marianne, but I can see it.
Yep, this is as awkward as you would've guessed with neither sure what to say and lots of just "..." and "ums."
Bernie finally breaks the silence talking about pretty bugs. Marianne is into the conversation since she's a Disney princess animal lover. And Bernie just like creepy things.
Then it dies. And Marianne struggles to find another topic and talks about the sunrise.
In the end they had a successful conversation. Since I support Marianne having friends, I support this.
LORENZ & BALTHUS C SUPPORT
So why does Balthus get a support with Lorenz, but not Hilda?
Balthus asked Lorenz about a Claude investigation, but Lorenz doesn't know much about it.
Lorenz thinks Balthus' father is behind the questions. Balthus is doing it for money, unsurprisingly.
Lorenz puts down Balthus as a corrupt commoner, but Balthus is secretly a commoner, which doesn't surprise me since Hilda and Holst are his buddies.
Lamo, Balthus said Lorenz says whatever just pops into his head. Doesn't sound like a compliment.
BALTHUS, HOLST, & HILDA PARALOGUE
I'm using two of the three, so this shouldn't be too bad. I can make Balthus an adjunct.
Balthus is hiding from someone, then turns around and asks Hilda and Shez for money. Hilda encourages him to pay them back. Then Balthus leaves.
Holst arrives and bothers Shez about bothering Hilda. Then they catch him up about Balthus.
Balthus sounds like an absolute nightmare and asshole of a person, ngl. He steals from people, fights, and drinks. Hilda and Holst can do better.
Oh, shit. The goal is to rescue Balthus, so I can't just rescue him? But the Golden Deer are basically broke, so IDK if I can level him up enough to survive.
So his stepmother sent assassins after him because she wants her younger son to lead instead. Honestly, don't blame her for that last half, but big yikes.
Ok, that wasn't too bad since I got to control Balthus pretty quickly.
Balthus seem wholly unbothered by his step-mother trying to kill him. He talks about it like she's throwing a tantrum, lol.
Did Balthus' real mom raise Shez?
LEONIE & SHAMIR PARALOGUE
Welp, they didn't get a support this time, but they got this at least. Feels bad Shamir didn't get one with Cyril, but I don't think the poor dude is even playable this time around.
Shamir is trying to pull a mysterious vanishing act and Shez can guess what she's up too including romantic rendezvous, fighting, or drinking. See, this is why Catherine and Shamir are meant for each other.
Ohhh, Shamir is breaking up with someone.
Not a former lover, though. A noble who has an infatuation with her and is threatening her if she doesn't come back. Shamir plans on just dealing with it herself.
Lamo, Shamir doesn't mind killing them.
Leonie is leveled up, but not Shamir, so Leonie will just tout her around.
Shamir burned the captain bad - "You're still alive. I guess it's true only the good die young." Like, damn, woman.
They sent a whole army against Shamir lol.
Cool to see three mercenary women all talking mercenary stuff.
Wait, WHAT? A WOMAN is the one after Shamir. Go off, Fire Emblem.
Leonie, my sweet summer child, has no idea what Shamir was alluding to. That's Caspar/Hilda support levels of naive, except Leonie's older lamo.
MAIN BATTLE/STORY
Short chapter this time around, which is nice. I saw it's the same for Scarlet Blaze in chapter 9. I'm assuming Azure Gleam will get a chapter like this too, except that time I'll be bummed.
Shahid has no personality outside of bloodthirsty idiot.
So Shahid has no clue that Claude is in the army he's attacking. So Edelgard is the only one the writers don't make kill their own family. Claude and Dimitri are just built for angst.
Yep, here's a cut scene where poor Claude gets to kill family now. He should've just let Shez do it. Cool cut scene though.
Claude thought he wouldn't feel bad about it, but he does. That's just being human, Claude.
Lorenz is like a whole ass 10 levels ahead of everyone else. Dude is a monster in this game.
Will the Golden Deer actually learn Claude is from Almyra this time? Claude lied again, saying he just went there for political stuff and that's why he meant Nader. Ah, well, maybe later on.
Shahid really was just a plot tool in the end. He had no personality and was just the evil prince from Almyra that makes it easy to wrap that up with a nice bow.
Lamo, Raphael gets closer to figuring it out about Claude than anyone else. Perfect.
Arval is like ugh, why are they celebrating? There's still a war going on. Arval is a party pooper, confirmed.
Claude feeling bad because he killed Shahid, which would have more weight if Shahid was an actual character.
Arval doesn't trust Claude, but I swear if I hear the word "scheme" in a Claude route one more time, I'm going to scream.

Frenrey, 17 for the kiss prompt
(Kiss Prompt List)
17: ...to distract.
“Dad, can we get Pringles?”
Gordon dropped a bag of pretzels into the shopping cart. “No.”
“Why not?” Joshua whined.
“They’re not healthy. And you’re the only one whose hand is small enough to fit inside the can to reach the chips at the bottom, so I know you’d end up eating the whole thing.”
Joshie made an aggrieved noise and put the can back on the shelf.
“S’that really why?” Benrey asked.
Gordon raised a brow at him. “Did you hear the part where I said they’re not healthy?”
“Oh, yeah, I missed that.”
“Dude, it was the first thing I said!”
“I wasn’t listening,” Benrey said.
“Obviously.” Gordon glanced down at his hastily-scribbled list, made earlier that day when he realized they were out of milk, peanut butter, and bread. “Okay, let’s find the condiment aisle.”
“Dad!” Joshua pointed up at one of the end-cap items. Gordon pushed the cart closer and shook his head when he saw the bags of mini donuts.
“Definitely not, little buddy. If the Pringles are unhealthy, those are just - completely bad for you. One donut, maybe, but not a bag of them.”
Joshua deflated, and Benrey tapped Gordon on the shoulder.
“D’you, uh - is the little gamer gonna get anything fun?”
“Benrey,” Gordon sighed, turning toward him, “if I give an inch, he’ll take a mile. It’s a constant battle. He’s got treats at home, but he can’t only eat crap food - he’ll lose his adult teeth before they even grow in!”
“Nah, he’s…better at teeth than you.”
“What are you talking about?” Gordon snorted. “I still have to remind him to floss every day.”
“Yeah, but…he can grow more teeth.” Benrey tilted his head. “Why can’t you do that? Huh? You’re so bad at teeth you, uh, scared them away? Can’t even grow more?”
Gordon cackled and pushed Benrey’s shoulder, making him rock on his heels. “I already grew in my adult teeth. We only have two fucking sets, we’re not sharks.”
“Sounds like you’re making excuses,” Benrey grinned.
Shaking his head, Gordon turned back and pushed the cart around the corner and into the next aisle, Joshua trotting along beside. “C’mon man, let’s go find some peanut butter.”
“Hell yeah,” Benrey and Joshua chorused together.
After finding the right brand of peanut butter, they headed off to the bread aisle. For some reason, a quarter of that aisle also had candy and chocolates. Gordon fended off two requests from Joshua before Benrey held up a bag of Hershey’s Kisses with a wicked look on his face. Gordon laughed at him, and Benrey put it back on the shelf with a huff. 
“If there was only one kiss in the bag, that would be okay,” Gordon teased.
“I’ll give you one kiss,” Benrey grinned, then leaned up on his tip-toes to do just that. Gordon felt like he was made of chocolate as he melted into the sensation. Benrey licked across the seam of Gordon’s lips and he almost forgot they were in public until something rustled and he pulled back sharply, clearing his throat. Benrey grinned lasciviously at him and winked, then reached up - higher than he should have been able to - and pulled down a plastic box with a single giant Hershey’s Kiss inside. The thing was at least seven inches tall, and it even had a larger version of the paper strip sticking out the top.
Gordon laughed so hard he had to lean on the cart for support. Benrey didn’t even ask before tossing the box in with the other groceries. He knew he’d won.
When Benrey kissed him again in the checkout line as Joshua loaded up the conveyor belt, Gordon only allowed a quick peck before straightening up self-consciously and trying to smooth his hair and clothes down, even though Bnerey had carefully kept his hands to himself through both kisses. 
“What is - are you into voyeurism now?” Gordon hissed at him. 
Benrey shrugged. “Dunno what that is. Just wanted to kiss you. S’that okay?”
“Well - yeah - I mean - yes, of course it’s okay,” Gordon said, flustered. 
Benrey tilted his head to thump it into Gordon’s shoulder. “Okay then. What’s the big issue?”
“We’re in public,” Gordon whined.
“You tryna hide me? Huh? Your dirty little secret?”
Gordon sputtered so much at that that he glanced at the cashier, who was still scanning items. They didn’t appear to care about anything beyond their conveyor belt, and Gordon was endlessly grateful for that. The bagger was much the same - though in their case, the rustling of bags likely masked the quiet conversation.
“Are you done being gross?” Joshua asked, and Gordon cleared his throat and pulled his wallet out, turning away from a smug Benrey.
When they got home, he found out why he’d been so smug. Three bags of candy and two bags of mini donuts were mixed in with the other groceries. Gordon just stared at them as Joshua and Benrey high-fived over their haul.
“How did you even do this?” Gordon couldn’t help but be a little impressed.
“Benrey distracted you, and I grabbed things!” Joshie explained.
Benrey sauntered around the counter and leaned against Gordon. “Yeah,” he smirked. “You’re really easy to distract.”
“Wh - no I’m not! I’m observant! I’m not going to just -”
Plastic rustled, and Gordon whipped around to see Joshua scampering away with one of the bags of candy.
“You were saying?” Benrey purred up at him.
Gordon quickly turned around and brought his hands up to cup Benrey’s face, pulling him into a passionate kiss. He pulled out all the stops, including getting Benrey back for the tongue thing. When he leaned back, Benrey was sagging against the counter, hazy-eyed with pink sweet voice bubbles floating around his head like cartoon hearts.
“You may have won this time,” Gordon said as he walked backward, pointing a metal finger at Benrey. “But you’ve opened a can of worms that you might not be able to close. This means war!”
Then he spun on his heel and headed off down the hall to save his child from an early trip to the dentist.

Okay, I’ll try to be quick about this. I’ll do it in list form to set some ground rules and get my analysis going.
(I am arguably very frustrated overall about what I’m about to write, because of how excellent The Eighth Sense was, and watching this was just a bit of a downer, man.)
1) I will own that at this point, I might be the only The Promise apologist on this site. I might have led friends astray at this show. For that, I offer a 90-degree wai of apology. I gotta check the tag, but I wouldn’t be surprised. 
(Senpai @respectthepetty...I’ll watch The Shipper as self-punishment.) 
2) Yes, Phu DEFINITELY sucks. BUT, there’s a but that I’ll get to in a sec.
3) For the first time in this show, I am actually frustrated by the pace. 
4) Party definitely rules, Mr. Sassy.
Alright, all that out of the way, get ready to hear why, once more, even I surprise myself by saying, I STILL like this show, but we’re on shakier ground. The Promise, episode 7, here we go:
We’ve now established two social rules by which Nan and Phu operate: 
a) Phu is afraid of loss, 100%. He’s scarred by his father’s death, and doesn’t want to lose anymore people in his life, especially his best friend. 
(HOW that equated to him RUNNING AWAY for 10 YEARS is STILL unclear to me, but I SUPPOSE that if Nan can STILL wait for an answer, then WE, as the audience, are expected to wait, TOO, which I THINK, dear director Khom Kongkiat/Uncle Tong, is ASKING a little MUCH of US, BUT ANYWAY)
b) Nan has said this shit in the past and present about how he wants FRIENDS, and separates that from LOVERS. And Phu is all up in his confusion about that.
I mean, I think I can get that those are legitimate reasons why Phu continues to hold back from revealing his truth to Nan.
But, fuckin’ GO PARTY. Party is like.... what the fuck, dude? Just come out and say it!
AND: Party put himself out there! He put himself out on the line! He revealed himself to Nan! Nan rejected him. But guess what? They’re still gonna be friends! PHU SAW ALL THAT!
Will Phu NOT be satisfied IF Nan rejects him? I mean, Phu will be sad, but... can’t they be like Party and Nan, and still be friends? NO? 
On the one hand, I say: WHAT THE FUCK? Phu -- you are REALLY hyping this up! Why should everything be 100% with you?
On the other hand, I say: My socio-emotional read is that because Phu experienced the death of a loved one at an early age, things might HAVE to be 100% with him. 
I just don’t know if Uncle Tong is weaving this complicated and emotional story as well as he could be at this point. I don’t know how efficient each episode is at selling the skincare. I absolutely loved the focus on the coffee farm and the process of the beans and everything. I love, love those slices of village life. It very much harkens to P’Khom’s actual role in Bad Buddy, and obviously goes to show how much he wants to profile these slices of Thai village life. I love those parts.
But at this point, as I said last week, we’ve waited too long. We need clarity. I get we have three episodes at an hour each, but the pace has now started to drag. I love what this show gives by way of a respect of the rural life these guys come from, but the imbalance is there among Devonte commercials/life in Chiang Mai/Granny and how she’s there to explain who Phu really is/Nan’s patience. 
It’s not quite working anymore. I’m gonna stick out this show, because who knows if Uncle Tong can give us a huge and surprise ending, and there are only three episodes left, anyway.
But seriously, Nan is getting fuckin’ seriously played, and like, I think Phu is not as dumb as he’s being written. Maybe Phu’s read is that he thinks Nan is a lot stronger than Nan actually is. I don’t know. I just don’t know why Phu would play his homey like this for SO LONG. WHY DID PHU COME BACK, ONLY TO ATTEMPT TO RUN AWAY AGAIN. 
Yes, you’re held back by your demons, but -- maybe it would have been best if Phu had just permanently stayed away. 
Come on, Uncle Tong. PLEASE clean up this mess. I HAVE HOPE.

How did Tim and Jason get together in the shutterbug au if he didn’t think much of him on their first date?
Aha, it wasn't actually a date! It was a gathering Stephanie dragged Jason to because it was around the time she decided she'd had enough of his wallowing bullshit about waves hand vaguely in the direction of Red Hood's quest for vengeance and then the sort of road to recovery he was currently on but kinda stuck in the :( everything sucks phase
Jason's social skills are, eeehh, Not Great at this point. Especially with civilians, Brown are you fucking insane I can't be around people.
Stephanie is not having any of his excuses you need to get out more and patrol doesn't count >:(
So he's dragged to a lunch meet up. Tim is there along with some of his and Steph's other college buddies and Steph is like hey everyone this is... My coworker, Jason.
And, listen, you gotta see this from Tim's perspective. Your ex girlfriend and current best friend has just walked up with God's Gift To Man except the dude is scowling like someone just killed his puppy. And then he turns that scowl right on you.
Meanwhile, Jason is basically a mess of anxiety from just having to be around Normal People and still mostly thinks of himself as some kind of irredeemable monster rather than a person. He's. Trying. He came to this stupid lunch, right, what more could Brown ask if him but oh God, Brown's friend Tim is very pretty and sharp and quick witted and suddenly Jason does very much want to be here because he wants to know more but also wtf is socializing
Stephanie is having a ball. She figured Jason would like Tim, Tim who doesn't put up with anyone's bullshit, who's got a comeback for everything, who's determination is a terrifying thing to behold, but she didn't quite expect Jason to go down that hard. She feels a little bad, watching Jason try haltingly to actually talk to another person with the thunderous expression of someone on a Righteous Mission while Tim keeps giving her little side eyes like, "really?? This is someone you hang out with?? Really???"
Jason tries to be a gentleman and refill Tim's drink from the pitcher. Except he fumbles because he's nervous and overwhelmed and spills the whole thing in Tim's lap. Honestly it wouldn't've been such a big deal except Jason goes into blue screen of mortal embarrassment and mutters a quick, horrified, "I have to go," and flees the scene entirely.
Tim, totally soaked in idk probably some cocktail mix, stares Stephanie dead in the eyes from across the table and yells, "what the fuck was that?!"
Stephanie laughs so hard she agitates a bruised rib.
Through her tears she tries to assure Tim that Jason liked him he's just an idiot who has been way too absorbed in his work for too long, which totally reminds her of someone else too hmm who could that be? Tim scoffs because he sure didn't act like it and maybe Tim still has a hard time believing when people like him but I digress.
A week or so later, with some (a lot of) nudging from Steph, Jason shows up at Tim's favourite coffee shop with flowers and apologizes for the lunch thing. He stumbles through a whole speech and asks Tim out on a proper date. Tim thinks about it for a while, making Jason squirm in the middle of a busy coffee shop where people are definitely watching and oh god he's about to be rejected in front of all these people this was a mistake, Brown was wrong and he should just stick to what he knows: shooting people's kneecaps --
"Yeah, okay," Tim says, a slow smirk spreading across his face, "but I'm choosing the venue and you're not allowed to pour any drinks."
Tim has not yet let Jason live down the drink incident.
They went to a classic dinner and a movie combination for their first date. To say it went well is putting it lightly ;)

this is a long ass post because i accidentally started rambling about nonsense (jjba characters playing video games) so im putting it under a cut to spare you all. read at your own risk...
oh i know im a massive fucking nerd when i realize one of the reasons i love jojos so much is because it's got characters from both japan and america (and many others countries which also fucking rules but for the purposes of this post im singling out these two) which means i can imagine them having some stupid lost in translation shit going on. okay. so:
kakyoin talks about the famicom and avdol is like ohhh i know that*!! and they talk about mother** and dragon quest*** and final fantasy****. and they're chatting happily but joseph looks at him he's like man i only know that super mario game. and kakyoin is like ohhhh i played that too!! and so the two of them are yapping away it's absolutely fine until someone mentions koopas (as in, the minor enemy, koopa troopas) and kakyoin's like. Huh? kuppa's the final boss of the game, the one with the big shell that's got spikes on it...? but joseph is like no thats bowser??? koopas are the little ones with the shells you can jump on and send rolling!! (polnareff is a master system diehard fan so he's just watching this with confusion. he barely even knows who pacman is let alone mario.) kakyoin doubles down on this hes like Listen. ive played more video games than all of you combined. the small ones are called nokonokos. the final boss is kuppa. and they start arguing about it (loudly).
avdol is watching this happen and he says to polnareff i didn't even know anyone other than mario had a name. polnareff replies man all i play is monopoly on my sega master system. Whenever i go to an arcade i just play pinball (he forgets there are other games he's just a absolutely entranced by pinball). joseph and kakyoin are arguing for fucking ever and they only stop because they get attacked by a stand user or something.
many years later jotaro will think back on this conversation and realize a few things. 1) he sees modern (by his standards, so, at least 20 years old today) depictions of mario and he thinks ohhhh kakyoin knows that guy. 2) after living around gamers in both japan (kakyoin) and in america (joseph, when he visits, and later his wife and jolyne*****) he does some research (picks up a book about the history of video games on a whim) and discovers that joseph and kakyoin were both, in fact, right-- in japan, the smaller turtle-esque enemies are called "nokonokos" and the final boss is called "kuppa", but due to translation nonsense, in america (and most western countries), the smaller enemies are known as "koopa troopas" and the big bad himself is known as "bowser". he wonders how the hell that even happened. he then goes on to continue his tradition of being an old fucking man in spirit when it comes to video games. he likes games like mahjong... solitaire... minesweeper... the fanciest he's ever gotten is text adventure games. maybe one of the older simcity games, if he's feeling brave.
jolyne lets him play tetris on her gameboy one day and just doesn't get the appeal at all (but holly absolutely does so jolyne will play tetris with her grandma for ages). joseph can kick jotaro's ass at any version of mario kart even in his 80s and 90s because jotaro cant even handle atari games this "gamecube" and "wii" stuff is too much for him.
anyway over in naples polnareff is struggling to discuss pokemon with anyone because he played the french version, which translate all the names to french, but in italy they just use the english names for the pokemon. if anyone asks him about pokemon hes just given up on naming any of them at this point. so at my hypothetical fucked up stardust crusaders reunion that they all bring their buddies to, polnareff is like what the hell is a "butter free". a stick of butter pokemon? what? and jolyne is laughing her ass off while mista tells him no dude it's the butterfly one, the one episode of the show you cried at and he goes OHHHH YOU MEAN PAPILUSION!! jolyne is still giggling but she does actually find it really cool to know butterfree's names in different languages. she tells him it's butterfree in japanese, too (she is not fluent in japanese so she makes jotaro help her. he can name a ton of pokemon but he doesnt even know about types or evolutions.), like how pikachu is the same in english and japanese!!
this is kind of unrelated but if you asked me most jojo characters' favorite pokemon i would not be able to tell you. however i know jolyne likes butterfree (she likes butterflies she likes gen 1 its a no brainer). i think jolyne's mom likes ho-oh i don't have a reason i just think shes into the bird ones and thats a sick as hell bird one. jotaro's favorite is magmar****** because that's the only one he can remember the name of. like he seriously remembers magmar more than pikachu. joseph likes bulbasaur because jolyne showed him the whole pokedex and he said bulbasaur was his favorite because its. the first one you see in the dex. and hes stubborn enough that he just stuck with it. if he wasnt a stubborn bastard i think hed say meowth because i know jolyne makes him watch the show and he gets a kick outta team rocket. holly likes mew again i dont have reasons other than thats her vibe. polnareff likes farfetch'd. the vibes are right.
kakyoin and avdol sadly died several years before the first pokemon games came out but if they had survived: i think kakyoin would like cherubi but considering that one only came out in 2006, i think his initial fav is seel (and dewgong). dont have a reason for this he just seems like a seel and dewgong kind of guy. avdol likes tauros the most but everyone assumes he likes flareon or moltres instead and hes like ehhh. theyre cool but tauros is cooler. gen 1 is his favorite methinks but if someone (jolyne) got him to play gen 2 i think cyndaquil would be a second favorite (and probs his favorite starter. he always picks charmander in gen 1 but aside from charizard hes pretty neutral on that evolution line).
anyway when polnareff finds out about pinball games (like on handheld consoles) he goes nuts. his favorite console game for YEARS is pokemon pinball for the gameboy color (and it's only usurped by pokemon pinball ruby & sapphire for the gameboy advance). his favorite pc game is 3d pinball ‪space cadet (but second place is always whatever the most recent version of monopoly for windows is). (he doesn't bother buying new consoles just for monopoly but if monopoly releases on something he DOES own? oh you bet your ass he owns it. he was an early adopter of iphones so hes also played every shitty version of monopoly for iphone. he spends money on micro transactions and then lies about doing that. he doesn't even collect physical copies of monopoly, like, the actual board game? he owns this one beat-up copy of monopoly las vegas edition and he's like yeah why would i need another one? i already have one...? (he does not understand peoples confusion when he goes on to buy multiple monopoly video games instead.) he ate the monopoly money once because he wanted to know what it tasted like (he wasnt even playing it at the time. he went and got out monopoly and ate a single bill of monopoly money and then put it back).
holly cant play a lot of games because fast-moving camera angles make her motion sick however joseph does not share this problem (or if he does? he hides / ignores it because he wants to play these fuckass games.) so he loves playing first person shooters. he loves half-life and fucking. counter-strike i dont know. i dont actually really play fps. anyway he doesnt own any consoles and he never will (he says hes "too old" for that and "he'll be dead soon" but he's been saying that for 40 years so they all just know hes being a stubborn bastard) so instead he spends that money on making sure hes got the beefiest gaming pc ever. if he can't run a new game due to his hardware (not often) he just replaces it with the newest possible part. i need you to picture his gamer setup i will describe it to you:
imagine your grandparents house. maybe even your great grandparents house. if youve never been to yours or anyones grandparents house then just google it i promise i am talking about a really stereotypical old people house. like this house has had the same cord phone for decades. the furniture has not been updated in just as long. however at like the kitchen table (the dining room table HAS to be empty. "what if we have a bunch of guests over?" suzi q says. they havent had more than three guests since holly moved out.) is home to joseph's gamer setup i can picture it now. he's got a single cheaper monitor that sometimes just flickers off if you hit the table by accident. the case for the computer itself is from like 2007 and joseph refuses to update it because he doesnt want one of those "obnoxious rainbow light-up computers" (fair). he does not know you can still get plain cases these days. if something doesn't fit in this stupid case he takes it to a friend (someone he found on craigslist who is charging him ridiculous prices) to make a custom part for this case so he can plug in xyz and have his floppy / cd / dvd ect. drives. this case has so many wonky custom parts it looks like frankensteins monster and its pretty much the ship of theseus at this point. anyway he's got this boring as fuck computer tower underneath this really basic wooden table in the corner. the monitor sits on the desk with a keyboard and a mouse (both wired. joseph gets really annoyed if he has to change the batteries in a mouse.) and theyre all black with no decorations. the desk is probably too big to just have a single setup on it but probably too small to set up a second one (which wouldnt even get used, anyway). the only other decorations on the desk are framed picture of family and friends, which WOULD be nice, except all the frames are cheap, broken or both because this table is kind of wobbly and he's always getting really mad at his games and knocking them over on accident. he's got a medium bookshelf next to this table which is home to huge but very disorganized collection of pc games that has not been updated much since steam became a thing. he owns the sims 1 & 2 with all their expansions. he owns a lot of bootleg copies and indie games he got from many different people over the years, all with sharpie label on the disc (and in a jewel case if the creator was feeling fancy). he owns every half life game & expansion.
he gets into emulating at some point but he doesnt own any controllers and refuses to buy one so he plays all these games with keyboard controls (he doesnt know you can change the control mapping so he just gets really good at using weird fucking controls).
he loves simpsons hit & run. he's not a huge minecraft guy but he does play if jolyne asks him to (and she does). if this is one of the rare times hes playing mc on his own he only plays on hardcore and sees how far he can get on a quest to kill the ender dragon (he usually doesnt even make it to the nether). he loves playing awful romhacks. please picture joseph joestar in his late 90s playing a fnaf game. okay i think thats it
oops this post has gotten really far off track from my original point of "i think the sdc having video game conversations get confusing cause of localization differences" but thats alright. old man joseph playing ultimate custom night ok?
*it's also called the famicom in egyptian arabic everyone say thank you to the wikipedia editors who translated the NES wikipedia article into so many different languages! even so, avdol does seem like the kind of guy (to me, at least) to know lots about different games in different regions, even if he has not, in fact, played most of them.
** as in the first mother series game. the one before earthbound. it didn't get an english release for at least a couple decades after sdc so.
***dragon quest didn't release in north america until august of 1989, so it wouldn't have been out yet! i don't think it even released in europe on the NES at all lol
****again, final fantasy didn't release in north america until 1990 on the NES, and europe didn't get it until the ps1 era!
*****i know jolyne and her mom are gamers. trust me.
******this is inspired by wayneradiotv saying gordon freeman hlvrai's favorite pokemon is magmar. i just think yeah... they're the only two magmar fans ever

@heaven-said from xxx
Tumblr media
✞ " ... Me? You doubt MY eloquence? " The most indignant, foppish scoff you can imagine as he presses an armored hand to his chest. Oh, there's his pride rearing its head. Against his better judgement-- he should know better than to take Adam's bait, he should know that their pettiness comes from a place of insecurity and he should show temperance and understanding and.... No. He can't. Its the principle of the thing. " I am the very messenger of Heaven! My words have been inscribed in scripture more than any angel's! " Be not afraid? Who do you think invented that? " I assure you, at the very least, I could have written something more graceful then-- What was it? 'Stick it to the man'~ " He says this by dropping his rigid and ancient speaking cadence to sound like some kind of mockery of a surfer dude.
"What's there to doubt?" He scoffs right back, far less foppish and a degree more gritty; just because he was a seagull that missed its chance for said beached french fry didn't mean he hadn't taken a big bite out of the sand in the extraction attempt. Talons tuck into a fist that he places onto a hip that swings out with the shifting of angelic weight from one foot to the other. It wasn't like he wanted to deal with Gaybriel here, but dude was parked slap dab in the middle of the break room and that just wasn't going to fly with him when there were still doughnuts to be nabbed.
"That you're rizzless and bitchless? Not like it's a secret there, buddy." His free talon fanned out for a coy inspection, though it's cut short with a snap of his gaze over at that little dig the other just has to run by him.
"...mmk, I do NOT sound like that-"
Tumblr media
Were doughnuts really worth all this? His bird brain leans towards yes, but damn he's reaching his limit here.

Our options are limited, as we are already severely unhinged and have several dynamics already, so!
For Data, I rolled Tataru, T'laqa, A'aba, Lalah and G'raha.
Tataru is besties for all. They would be really good friends and she could possibly be considered a sisterly type of relationship—or motherly, if she wasn't so much younger than him. But that won't stop her from mothering him.
T'laqa, you don't know yet. But two smart dudes, one whose research involves fish and the other who likes to fish? They'd definitely be friends and get along swimmingly. T'laqa is passionate about his studies and Data is passionate about fishing, so they'd bounce off of each other really well, I think.
A'aba would make a great older brother figure for Data, I think! But Data would probably struggle a lot with how wild he gets in a fight. He already has to deal with A'atahni, C'torih and Sét, give the man some peace.
Lalah! They would be good friends, I think that's fairly obvious. SGE questline buddies.
G'raha would obviously be friends with and strongly admire Data. He's intelligent and very versatile, both as a person and as a fighter, and G'raha would seek to emulate that. Anymore than that is a remains to be seen thing since they've never interacted, but I could see maybe a "kiss my friends on the head" sort of relationship where they Netflix and cuddle pile.
No random required for the other, since you've only got five for XIV. Going with Youmu for these.
Alisaie would be a fun dynamic. I think they'd get along for the most part, but Youmu's passive nature would prolly piss Alisaie off in the sense of stick up for yourself, please.
Data, we already know how they are. They're adorable and sweet. Data is his seeing eye cat and Youmu is extremely grateful.
G'raha would probably be a friend or an acquaintance. Maybe he could read to him? That'd be sweet. I think Youmu would be impressed by his versatility in battle.
Lyna! I have no clue how they'd meet or if they ever could, outside of maybe an AU where Lyna was from the Source or Youmu was from the First (which would be really neat, actually), but I think they'd like each other. Lyna would remind Youmu a lot of his big sister.
X'rhun! I think they'd get along really well. With X'rhun being hard of hearing and Youmu being blind, it'd be a conversation starter, especially in regards to the way they've had to adapt the way they fight. Youmu would be very interested in X'rhun's use of red magic for that, too.
