first off, i’m special so these aren’t closed for me 😍.

okay i’m like 5’5 i think… dunno.

glasses, medium length brown hair, it’s like two inches above my shoulders, i have a biting problem.

i cannot leave unless i am wearing my converse, no other shoes.

i wear the same outfit everyday, jeans, tshirt, hoodie and converse.

i take way to many photos of the people i love, i looove cooking.

i have both daddy and mommy issues.

i don’t like headphones only earbuds? earphones? (idk help)

i fucking love pink, purple and green.

hmmmmmmmm, i have to listen to music if i’m not at home (i listen to music there too)

i do unfortunately enjoy the taste of cigarettes.

i’m terrified of touch but crave it.

is this good 😰?

fuck yeah boiiiiiii

(id like to formally apologize for that)

Oklay anyway for Overwatch I match you with...

Junkrat

Honestly my boy loves how much shorter than him you are

Don't worry though he won't make fun of you for it

not too much anyway

everything he buys you is pink, purple, or green after you tell him those are your favorite colors

offers to do your top surgery (don't let him he'll use bombs)

he doesn't get your obsession with converse (neither do i, buddy. neither do i) but he'll get them for you anyway

sometimes forgets how much touch scares you

it takes roadhog telling him off for jumping on you for him to get it

he'll be more careful after that

He loves posing for your pictures

no shame at all

will also let you take nudes of him but anyway thats for later

please cook for him he never has time to eat normal food

compliments your cooking all the time

he will get on his hands and knees and beg for you to cook for him bc its so good

also has a biting problem

likes to nibble on your shoulders

has broken your glasses at least once and roadhog had to fix them for you

and for Resident Evil I match you with...

Chris and Leon!

(i couldn't pick one LOL)

Best cure for daddy issues tbh

They both smoke I'm pretty sure, so you'll definitely get your taste of cigarettes when you kiss them

Leon would definitely help you cook dinner

Chris, meanwhile, is banned from the kitchen because he can't cook to save his life

no one can tell me otherwise

anyway

Leon would definitely try and get you to branch out your outfits a little more, but Chris honestly finds your outfits cool as fuck

mostly because he wishes he could pull that off all the time

You have the best photos of the two of them arguing or doing stupid shit

Because they literally never stop arguing or doing stupid shit

Leon supplies your music addiction while Chris sits there and tries to talk to you, not realizing you have your headphones in

I'm talking full ass conversation that only stops when Leon tells him that you're listening to music and can't hear him

They never speak of it

Leon does use it as embarrassment fuel for whenever you aren't around

anyway thats all i got hope this is good idk im half alseep rn

ok I'm very shy and this is taking a lot of courage from my part. I would very much appreciate it if you could write a matchup. I'm a 6'5 straight male with black hair, glasses and brown eyes. I am a HUGE nerd. i am a huge Star Wars fan, and I even make lightsabers in my free time. I also enjoy video games and drawing futuristic space ships and weaponry. I can be very shy and antisocial to most people but I am extremely talkative and friendly to my close friends.

I had two with very similar descriptions, and I'm not sure if this was a request someone put in twice, but here

The two of you met on a game you had been playing for awhile

At first, the two of you paired up out of mutual respect for each others skills

The two of you started talking on discord, and gradually the conversations got a bit more personal, till it was easy for one of you to ask how work had gone, if that one grumpy ass coworker was still threatening to kill the staff, and inspiring each other when it came to each others interests

You found yourself really liking her- when you got talking about things, you really got into it, but she seemed to enjoy the way you'd lose yourself talking about your passions

When you found out she hadn't watched Star Wars, she asked if you'd show them to her. Most of the time she was busy doing things, but she didn't have the kind of friends to watch movies with

The two of you made plans to meet up, and woah-she was beautiful. Long brown and pink hair, the cyber punk look- the gorgeous latina introduced herself as Sombra officially

She was even sassier in person, but seemed to hold herself back a bit

When you asked, Sombra had laughed. "Some people find me to be a bit much- I'm a lot better on computers then I am face to face. I prefer to stay invisible," she said, and it was a feeling that you knew well

"Don't hold back," you told her, wanting to know more. "Please. I won't think you're too much."

The two of you met a few more times before a message covered your computer screen.

"Want to go on a date with me to the newest Star Wars movie?" it read. The only options were an X, a 'Yes' and a 'Hell yes'.

Obviously you hit the 'Hell Yes'.

When the two of you started dating, it felt like you two just clicked- she opened herself up more and you thought her all the more vivid for it.

She showed interest in your hobbies, finding cool ways to intermingle hers- you guys even made a 3-D black matter death ray together, and it was beautiful

She made you feel whole in ways that words could not describe

Hihihihi it's a long lost rare 🐰 anon who forgot tumblr exists. I hope ur okay and having a good time!!!

I'm here for the matchups! Overwatch specifically pls.

I'm fine with any character, gender plays no role. I'm really short and physically weak, soooo someone stronger that could make up in strength (and height, IT'S UNFAIR I CAN'T REACH THE TEA CUPBOARD IN MY OWN HOUSE, COME ONNNN) would be rly cool to have around :3 I'm also autistic and practically fitting a stereotype, i stim a lot with movement and vocal stims so that's something to take into account and tolerate bc it happens a lot. I also can and absolutely will sneak in for a hug and will sneak my partner under a blanket. or steal their hoodie or jackets. size be damned, it's nonnegotiable. better have spares. my love language is physical contact quality time, but quality time is also doing my own thing while my partner coexists in the same space doing their own thing. all time together is quality time. i will also praise them a lot. they made tea? they look particularly pretty? they did something they enjoyed? hell yeah expect praise. as for hobbies i dabble in everything, my hobby is "what if i tried xyz". yes, i do random unexpected stuff, better tolerate it :3. i also organize stuff, put me in front of a box of buttons and ill organize everything.

(i rly rly love what you have going on here btw with your blog, im happy to see someone enjoying stuff in front of people and sharing it!!)

Ooo I've got the perfect person...

Junker Queen!

Considering she's seven feet tall I think she might be taller than you

Absolutely loves to carry you if you let her

Perfectly happy to grab anything on high shelves for you

She honestly thinks your stims are pretty cute

She's happy to hug you or hold you at any given interval, she's never too busy for cuddles

She doesn't have a lot of long clothes but feel free to wear anything she has (also if you ask nicely she let's you wear her crown)

While she often gets compliments, getting them from you makes her ten times happier

It's good that you like organizing because her room is a mess and she can never find anything she needs

Uhh hi? I was wondering if I could get a matchup for Overwatch please. I'm a panromantic asexual and I'm a good listener but not much of a talker. My love language is physical touch but I also love giving people gifts. I love to read, play video games, and go hiking on rainy days. (I hope this is enough information and if you don't want to do this feel free to ignore me lol)

I match you with...

Lifeweaver

One of the first things he noticed about you was that of your listening skills

He’s someone who loves to talk. So knowing that you are listening to him makes him happy.

He craves physical affection and since that is your love language, every time he comes home from doing his work and you give him a simple hug, he'll melt into your arms. He's looking forward to that hug everyday. It makes him forget about all of his problems.

Giving him little gifts makes his heart flutter. It makes him feel wanted and loved.

Will definitely play video games. He may not be the best at it. But he still plays it with you to have some fun.

He also reads A LOT. Like, he has a little library that has literally hundreds of books. It has a variety collection of science and literature books. And his story books are literally *chef’s kiss*. He has good taste.

He is a nature guy. So he would love to go on a hiking with you. Whether it is raining or in any climatic conditions, he will go with you in a heartbeat.

He will 100% bring you to bird watching since I head canon him enjoying it.

Whether you guys live in an apartment or in a bungalow, he will have a small or big garden. Depending on the size of your house and how much spacious it is.

Or he’ll have plants around the house. He’s a very good plant dad.

He’s definitely the type to spoil you rotten with gifts. If you are not the type to like receiving gifts, then he’ll give you lots of physical affection. Everyday, there are enormous amount of cuddles and hugs!

Hihi! Could I request a romantic Overwatch matchup please!

I am a trans guy who uses he/they pronouns and am gay. Men <3

What I look for a partner is somebody who I can have fun with, and affection. But also respects my boundaries. I am autistic and tend to hate physical touch at times.

At first I present as somebody pretty quiet, I don’t really talk. You’d just find me sitting in a corner on my phone lol. But if you make the effort to get to know me I’m one big gremlin. Full of banter, play wrestling and such

I kinda look like some greasy gamer who spends most of the time in my room, hoarding snacks. I’m a big fan of gaming, art, music (my taste is wack, I could be listening to metal one minute and two trucks my lemon demon the next)

My love language is sorta funky, it really depends on my mood. But it’s mostly gift giving. In the form of bringing home a cool rock or just showing them a cool thingy I think they’d like.

I think that’s all the information- thank you!!

omg hiiiii!!! i literally have the cutest man for you and i really hope you like it because this big teddy bear would love you!!!

the character I chose for you is...

ROADHOG!!

as a man who has to put up with junkrat all the time, he can handle you even at your most gremlin times

i just thought it would be cute if you went to play wrestle this big guy and he's just giggling trying to pull him off of you

he would steal from your snack hoard all the time

you two would totally buy each other snacks

a lot of gaming dates

like arcades and just chillin in your room and whatnot

if you brought this man a rock, he would be just as excited as you

honestly, junkertown is the perfect place for the both of you

he would be totally fine with you being quiet because he is just as quiet as you

but when you both go on a tangent it's adorable

junkrat is ALWAYS the third wheel smh

i think i misunderstood your message and sent my matchup request to the wrong blog 🧍 so here it is again!

may i get a romantic overwatch matchup please? any gender is fine, but i prefer characters 25+

im 5'3 and nonbinary

I'm very shy and reserved at first but once i open up im very friendly and warm and a huge dork. im creative and i like to make things for people, whether its sewing or crocheting or drawing etc.

im easily flustered by anything flirty. im a good listener and i value communication greatly. i cry easily bc im sensitive and i struggle with emotional dysregulation. im a very caring person and can sometimes overdo it trying to be there for everyone. im also very stubborn, especially when someone either tries to make me do something i don't want to do, or says i can't do something. i have anxiety and often wake up at weird hours of the morning bc of it.

tysm!

Hrmm...in my humble opinion, I match you with:

☆ Reinhardt! ~ ☆.。.:・°☆.。.:・°☆.

[ Want one too? See here: (insert link to post ill make later) ]

(Warning: Long 'Keep Reading')

(Warning: Angst)

TLDR: He's anxious and caring too. You build each other up, and he especially nurtures you/ see last paragraph

It could go a number of ways. It was a bit of rummaging to find the right one, but if you like Rein I think it'd work out pretty good!

I can imagine you working in Overwatch when it got big in a teensy assistive position, occasionally bumping into the fabled heroes, usually for professional reasons.

And dear god, it was terrifying. That looming itching feeling of social pressure as you have to talk to them. At a work party Tracer had made an effort to try and talk to you, which kind of worked- you quietly babbled back and forth but the atmosphere with so many strangers was just kind of overwhelming. Cassidy had teased you, both simultaneously putting a blush on your face and a bubbling feeling of frustration. You wanted to prove his smug face wrong.

And you did. You were out of your shell, one way or another, and spiralled down this one-sided? Requited? God, who-knows - situation-ship with Cass that did you more harm than good. It was nice for a while, colourful, passionate, but fickle. The verbal equivalent of scraping at a smooth wall in your effort to help him as he slipped into Blackwatch. His ever-waning attention to your beautifully crafted gifts; his ignorance.

However, during that time you did meet the heroes personally. You caught Reinhardt's attention particularly. You were amazing! He'd look over your shoulder in awe in what you were making for Cassidy, spouting words of encouragement, saying something about how you should teach him so he could crochet for Ana and Fareeha. When someone dared you couldn't take your turn arm wrestling Rein, you did, and won! Crazy strength, right? Just kidding, he let you win. When you complained, you stayed up as everyone trickled out continually trying to beat him. It was very comical sight; opponents crouched over a table, one 2ft bigger than the other. When you were shy, he would offer a hand on your back as you entered the new thing together instead of alone. Reinhardt was always very clear with his emotions, which was quite grounding and you started to unintentionally imitate him a bit. You'd had your bubbly, loud conversations, but when Ana and Cass had left (and during Cass' stupid antics)- they sometimes became more quiet, and solemn. Seeing him awake too at ungodly hours of the night-morning, you had reached out to him in worry despite your state. The two of you had exchanged woes carefully and ending up in streaming tears in both sides, both of anguish and relief, ending in an all-encompassing hug underneath the cloudy night sky of Gibraltar. It was hard not to rely on him, because he wholeheartedly let you.

And that's it. Overwatch was...over? You remember that last day as your co-workers began to pack on to company helicraft to go back home from Gibraltar. Looking at Rein through the crowd, distraught. Ana was missing. You had sincerely guaranteed you would stay in touch until press had died down. With a tugging heartstring you returned home.

Looking at your comms device your stomach churned over Reinhardt's contact, finger hovering over the screen. What if he'd forgotten? Does he still want to speak? Is it saf- your thoughts cut off as the device lit up. A video call from Reinhardt. It was an initial image of a confused old man before he saw you, and his holographic face lit up. He corrected himself, asking of your safety, and if you are free to talk, etcetera. When you dizzily but enthusiastically agreed, he jumped back into over joyous questions, compliments and jokes. In this time apart, you would chat now and again. How Brigitte was; your latest projects; if you couldn't fall asleep or you woke up too early... It was nice during a time of ever-growing political tension.

Eventually, you were invited to visit for the holidays. As soon as you stepped off the hoverbus Reinhardt was there, asking you before scooping you up in a hearty hug and laugh. You'd missed that. As he gushed about his hometown you couldn't help but look over. He was overflowing with joviality- but weathered, more than before. An added sense of maturity and intelligence. You understood. And, it looked quite handsome on him. Not to mention the juxtaposition of his parental looking cardigan against his massive scar-strewn form.

This odd kind of new..adoration began to weasel its way into otherwise familiar interactions from back in Overwatch. Becoming more familiar with his bouts of depression, (Ana's death, all his friends disappearances...) consolations especially became more tender and intimate in the quiet hours of the Lindholm household or out on the green hills. Sometimes you'd wake up at a horribly early time, and going down the stairs you would find Reinhardt carefully cooking. Anxiety wake-ups didn't seem as bad anymore- actually, they became less frequent as you would just exist together into the night, sometimes even cuddle. Sometimes Torbjörn would shout and make you cry, leading to Brig and Rein to scold him and then comfort you, Reinhardt more calmly. You'd go grocery and material shopping (for Brig) together. Reinhardt would ever so subtly wince at loud metallic noises, and you would hold his hand. You'd take over for Brig in tending his wounds when he tried to 'stay in shape'. You weren't trying to be an opportunist, but god his body was pretty too. Maybe you paused a little too long, because in-between a pained grunt he chuckled. This confused you, as minute as it was, but it wasn't long before he began gently dropping more smart-mouthed compliments and half-jokes in a lower tone than normal. One night that you had stayed up late together he had pulled you aside. With the same sincerity and nervousness of when he had initially contacted you post-Overwatch; and the same cloudy night sky, he articulately confessed his growing romantic feelings for you.

If you reciprocate? He is overjoyed to a silent smile, forehead bumping against yours as he offers a calloused hand to rest on your cheek. He eventually looks through to you, a small smug smile as he articulates something cheesy but tender. Boundaries and expectations are shared, and it's pretty easy to trust each other. You have your own business to attend to, but when you do meet, it is loud and beautiful. Boisterous, passionate holidays and days together. He remembers what you taught him, and presents to you a bad crocheted..blanket (?) as big as his hand that he's proudly holding it with. You slam the table harder than him as you're so close to winning a stupid family board game against him. He princess carries you often just-cause. Quiet and meaningful talks as he holds on to your every word.

It's nice.

Can I get a match up please?

I am Bi with a girl pref.

I'm a 5'3 girl with brown eyes, black curly hair, tan skin. I enjoy playing games, drawing, baking, going to museums, going out for walks, and I love science. I also LOVEEE shopping. Any kind of shopping makes me happy. I love animals too!

I am mainly introverted but I get those random burst of energy where I wanna be mad social. I am told I am quiet, nice, thoughtful, and I'm generous.

My favorite type of music is mostly pop. You will totally catch me listening to some Taylor Swift, Carly Rae Jepsen, Selena Gomez, Beyoncé, and more. I will occasionally listen to R&B and rap.

I match you with...

D.va! - Hana Song

Fun fact D.va is actually 5'6 so being with someone shorter than her gives her a sense of pride she hasn't felt in a while, usually being relatively short on the teams she works with.

Forehead and cheek kisses, also expect her to act smug when you ask for her to grab something off of a taller shelf (that she totally put up there so you would ask)

Hana loves looking at art, I feel she just scrolls through tumblr looking at fanart of her favorite games, anything you draw she is sharing immediately. Your #1 fan.

Hana herself is very similar in terms of being introverted but having bursts of social energy. She's a hardcore gamer who loves sharing a quiet comfortable space with you as well as going out on the occasional night out with friends or what not.

Hana can be pretty chaotic, so your mellow energy really balances her out, she overworks herself to bone and someone needs to be there to calm her down and in turn she'd spark some energy in your life (Hana is basically your caffeine) and get you to try or do fun things you've never done before.

Love to shop, sometimes you have to drag her out or vice versa

Legit I feel like D.va would listen to the type of stuff you do. She'd take you out flying in her Mech, jamming to your Spotify playlist. Also, if it's been a particularly stressful night for either of you, you'll both get dressed in fluffy pajamas and have an emergency dance party, just shake that stress out.

Brigitte Lindholm

Brigitte is very very tall. She doesn't mind your height at all! She'd love nothing more than to pull you close and squeeze you in her arms. Biggest spoon energy, she will be your shield and your blanket this girl I swear.

This girl is such a history buff I feel like. She loves hearing Reinhardt's stories of the good Ol' days and museum trips are something she love to go out and do with you.

Her mom is a pro baker, if you love baking, she'll take you to her parents' house and have you do recipe swap with her mom. Bake a really good pie and you basically win her parents over

Brigitte is an engineer which in itself is a form of science so scientific discussions are a yes! Though if it's in the field of biology she might be a little lost, but she'll still listen and inquire!

Brigitte feels like a full introvert to me. She's a lil awkward, but she's trying her best! Our goofy lil crusader also likes going out occasionally with some friends or coworkers.

LOVES ANIMALS HAVE YOU SEEN HER KITTY, BIG GOOFY LIL BUDDY SHE EVEN MADE ARMOR FOR HIMMMM. LOVE HER CAT AND SHE'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER.

I have the idea that Brig sings Taylor Swift in the shower so be prepared for that lmfao. Very good dancer so if you've got that stuff playing you might see her grab a whisk from the kitchen and use it as a microphone

Other people who I'd match you with: Lucio, Echo, and Mei.

If you're still open for them, could I get a romantic Overwatch match up, pretty please? :> I'm pan and agender and an INTP. I have a lot of different interest that I kinda flip between pretty frequently, but the main ones are art, music, cooking and astronomy! I'm pretty tall (~5'8") and wear heels everywhere because I have a height complex and I need to have the most powerful vibes in any given room. I also prefer to present more masc, but in as fruity a way as possible. Also, I know most of my interests above are more artsy, but I do need it to be known that my favorite subjects are math and physics. I am also oblivious to most forms of flirting and just think it's friendly behavior, which gets me into awkward situations a lot, and do everything possible to make my own feelings as unknown as possible. (I am so sorry this is a mess. Also please ignore my URL, it means nothing-)

No need to apologize my friend!

I match you with Mercy!

She's the sort of call who is so patient and caring and compassionate. Mercy adores spending time with you and getting away from work from time to time. Being with her feels like being with a best friend, which sounds wonderful until Mercy is trying to drops obvious hints but it isn't connecting at first LOL. Mercy loves you for who you are because you are thoughtful, reliable and open her to many new experiences. I think her natural nurturing behaviour is so calming and lovely. You always know that she has your back and care for you just as you would do the same. This relationship is very much on balance and the spontaneity of new interests. It's never a dull moment with you two together. Dates with Mercy are relaxing! She may take you to the newest exhibit in the science museum, or go to a Cafe to enjoy a warm cozy drink while decorating your pottery of your choice one afternoon.

In response to your overwatch posting but more about competitive games in general, why is it fine and good for certain things to be low or high teir? It's a pipe dream to perfectly balance a game, but isnt the shackling of playstyles, characters, etc to a certain skill group a problem that fucks players at every level?

it's fine and good because it allows for designs that you couldn't make if you really want every character to be equally good. there's a basic expectation from players of competitive games that success should be correlated with skill, that if you play better, if you are better at the things the game asks of you (skillshots, or aiming, or movement tech, or inputs, or whatever) you will see better results. this is what makes a game competitive, right, the ability to get better and see your performance improve as a result.

this means, that, generally speaking, the harder a thing is to do in a game, the more rewarding it will be. this is the logic behind headshots in FPS games, right--it's more difficult to hit a headshot than a bodyshot, so you get rewarded with more damage. better players can hit more headshots, so they'll get more damage (and presumably more kills) in an average round than worse players. so now, let's say you want to introduce some playstyle differentiation into your game, so you add the Scanner, a gun that deals half damage on bodyshots but double damage on headshots.

this is a cool idea! it rewards you even more for showing skill at the game, makes people using it feel really cool when they get that bonus, poses interesting questions to players about trading consistency for volatility. but because it interacts with a skill-based mechanic, its viability is obviously going to be tied to a player's skill--if you're in a pro lobby hitting 60%+ of your headshots, it's an obvious pick. if you've just started playing and you average one headshot a match, it's a total dud.

this is a really on-the-nose example, of course -- but in any kind of competitive game, there are likely going to be far more than just one skill-based mechanic, as well as meta-skills like team communication, positional awareness, understanding matchups, etc. that are going to vary between low and high levels of play. so trying to make a character/weapon/playstyle equally viable at every level of play would mean having to make them essentially agnostic to all those things--which would mean not allowing them to interact with any of the mechanics of the game--which is, practically speaking, impossible.

on the other hand, purposefully designing 'low-tier' or 'high-tier' characters lets you do lots of really useful things! first of all, it lets you make easier characters for beginners, who don't have a huge amount of mechanical complexity to deal with, have some kind of 'training wheel' ability that mitigates a new players' lack of all these game-winning skills. like, say, a gun in that same FPS designed for a 'spray and pray' playstyle, or a character in a fighting game who revolves around one comparatively simple combo. having something like this lets new players onboard to your mechanically complex game without getting overwhelmed or disheartened, by letting them get into a match and feel like they're doing something as soon as possible.

as for 'high-tier' characters, acknowledging that a character will have to be nerfed into unplayability for low ranks lets you actually play with the upper ends of the mechanical complexities you've put into your game. creating characters with extremely complex movement techs that can offer marginal benefits that are game-defining in pro play but basically meaningless in casual play adds a new dimension of depth to high-level play that you can't get if you're too concerned about making every character good at every level.

ultimately, i don't think it fucks players, and i don't think there's any shackling being done--i think it's good to create characters that lean into different parts of a game, for characters to fill different niches in a meta's ecosystem, and for the lists of pro staples and pubstompers to be different.

Younger Siblings Tournament Bracket Reveal

A few things I want to mention before I reveal the bracket (and make the post really long because all the matchups will be listed in text):

Seeding of fictional characters in tumblr polls is inherently subjective. I did try to make it so that more popular characters/media would (most likely) face off against each other in later rounds, but I may be overestimating or underestimating the popularity of some characters/media, especially ones I'm not familiar with. There are some round 1 matchups that are probably a closer match but none of them are between the strongest candidates... I think.

The more niche characters will probably get obliterated in the first round as per Squimbus' Law. This is a tumblr poll and I do fully expect more popular characters to sweep, but that doesn't mean you can't encourage your friends to give your niche faves a fighting chance.

Also there are some matchups I literally just thought would be funny. Please don't take this too seriously.

I'm sorry BNHA fans.

(Preliminary Patch Notes 3/14: Swapped brackets 2 and 3, and brackets 19 and 21.)

could i have an overwatch matchup? im a trans guy, pansexual, im 5'3 and i have a smallish frame

i usually carry stuffed animals around the house and i usually talk to myself

i love to cling onto people and like to poke them too

i hope this is enough :)

I'd have to chose for you...

Genji!

Genji is very supportive of your identity and of anyone misgenders you on purpose he will fist fight them

He totally buys you a bunch of stuffed animals that remind him of you (including a couple pachimari ones)

He'll happily walk around holding hands with or carrying you if you let him

If you poke him he'll start poking you and then you two get into a little poking war

Hey! Could I get a matchup please? I'd like it to be a bit smutty plz <3

I'm an autistic queer guy who uses any pronouns and who has a preference for dudes! My personality varies on how I interact with certain people. I shut off around people who I don't click with but my true personality comes out the moment I start to like someone. I love to joke around and blab out whatever thoughts bump around in my brain. I'm a dedicated collector of all things weird and obscure. I get irritated real easy so I'm a bit of a hothead. I'm pretty clumsy and forgetful. I've got a raggedy punk-ish aesthetic with tons of jangly chains and pins and patches! Also, I never shut up! BTW!! I adore the way you write and I trust that you'll give me a stunning matchup!

hehehe… this one i had fun with.

cw: slight breeding , mentions of daddy kink , i think that’s it.

i choose… REAPER

okay hear me out… at first it may not make sense. y’all seem like you would clash, BUT! i think that makes it even better. enemies to lovers some might sayyy???

i feel like, reaper would find it absolutely adorable when you get upset or pouty over small things. he’d just chuckle to himself about it. he’s a fairly quiet guy, so you talking all the time might just be something he needs in his life. it’s a distraction, and i feel like he’d just love to listen to you tbh. but only you. everyone else can kick rocks LOL.

your aesthetic??? hello??? it’s screaming ‘i need a dark daddy please.’ and here, reaper is ready to deliver JUST THAT.

now, when you mouth off jus a lil too much he’s not afraid to put you in your place. the chains aren’t only good for your outfits. reaper DEFINITELY has a thing for taking you from behind after you’ve been in a huffy mood all day.

“good little pets deserve to see their daddy, bad dolls get their face shoved in the pillows.”

NOW LET ME TELL YOU. BRO DEFINITELY WANTS TO CUM IN YOU, ON YOU, EVERYWHERE ON YOU. he’s marking his territory, you’re his, and only his.

the bruises on your hips, legs, and neck are proof of that ❤︎︎
