Would you ever make a non-graphic comic on Donnie laying the eggs?
I mean, I'm not opposed to exploring such concepts, generally speaking, (as I've repeatedly showcased lol), I just don't really know what a comic like that would really entail. I don't have a good story in my mind atm about this, so I don't have any plans r/n. 🤷🏻‍♂️ If y'all have specific questions about his experience and such, then maybe I'd get an idea for something, but right now I have no plans for it.

Sweet heat (Lucifer)
Because y'all liked the previous smut with Beel, I thought I would do myself the ultimate self-service and make smut of Lucifer (aka my fav brother) so you're welcome, hope you enjoyed writing this as much as I did.
Warnings: Smut, obviously, wax play, ice play, overstimulation(?), MC sheds a few tears, talk of safewords, but none are used, Lucifer being a sadist, but not letting his sadism show a whole lot, also aftercare, MC is afab but no pronouns are mentioned
Word count: 3.4k
Lucifer does not do things recklessly, no, he plans everything down, and the same applies to your sex life. He’s not opposed to short sessions, designed to relieve both you and him of any pent-up stress. That being said, though, he would do just about anything to have you to himself all night, hours on end, drawing endless streams of pleasure from deep within you with his magic touch. 
On nights where he has the pleasure to be with you during his free time, he prefers to go over every little nitty gritty detail before the two of you start. Your aftercare preferences, safe word, and how you would like him to talk to you.  
“Safe word, are we still using umbrella for immediate stop and blue for ease up?” He asked, idly lighting up a candle and placing it on a shelf near the bed, adding to the ambient and romantic orangish-red glow to the room. After that, he adjusted the horn of demonus and the bottle of wine in the bucket of ice on the bedside tables, shifting them deeper into the ice cubes.  
“Yes, that sounds good.” You squirmed in your seat, currently sitting crisscross on Lucifer’s large and plush bed. At this point, you’d actually started to not mind the skeleton in his room. After all, it was kind of like having a mini audience, one that wouldn’t judge you. You must admit, though, it definitely was freaky the first time you saw it.  
“Tell me if I say something wrong to you, understand?” He sat across from you once more, gauging your expression. 
“Of course, Lucifer, and you’ll tell me the same?”  
“Yes.” He scooted a little closer, sitting up on his knees and leaning in. Softly, he cupped your cheek in his hand, pulling you into a tender kiss; soft sparks of passion snapping just beneath the surface of his façade. He rested his hands on your shoulders, pushing you down onto the mattress, slowly allowing his palms to slide down your body, admiring every curve that lay under your clothes. He lovingly played with the hem of your shirt, looking up to meet your flustered expression.  
“Look at me, dear. Hold my gaze with those eyes of yours.” He commanded. He maintained eye contact with you as he scooted back a little, his face hovering between the waistband of your pants and your shirt. “May I proceed, Dove?”  
You eagerly nodded, gnawing on your lower lip. 
“Ah, but I need to hear your voice before I can continue. Won’t you talk to me?” A seductive smirk played at the corner of his mouth, his narrow eyes glaring holes into your very being. 
“Yes, Lucifer! Dammit, keep going!” With anxiety building up in your mind and the pounding of your heart, you were eager to get out of these hot clothes and into his arms instead.  
“My, my. How positively enthusiastic, MC.” He let out a breathy laugh. He slid one hand up your shirt and around to your back, cupping the curve of your spine as he lifted you up off the mattress just a tad so that he could pull that bothersome shirt from your body. He cast it aside to the floor the bed, making quick work of your bra, tossing it in the same spot as your shirt. He wanted to keep going, to take your pants and underwear off and admire you in your full glory, but his restraint fled him as he stared down at you, topless and at his mercy. 
He kissed around the waistband of your pants, running his slightly cool tongue along the center of your stomach, transitioning to soft kisses when he reached the valley between your breasts. His nimble fingers rubbed against your waist, following the curve of your back as he slid them further down. He nipped and suckled on your clavicle while he slid your pants and underwear together off your hips. Once he got them down far enough, he hooked them with his foot and pulled them the rest of the way down, kicking them off behind him. 
“Such perfection, infallible and...” He pressed his lips into where your jaw and neck met, finishing his sentence in the form of a soft murmur against your plush skin. “...And all mine...” He breathed softly at the sensitive skin at the front of your throat, sending chills running up your spine. 
“Lucifer...” You whined out softly, eyeing at the buttons on his shirt, “I can’t help but notice you’re still fully clothed, don’t you think you should change that?” 
“Not yet, Love. You’re wearing my resolve quite thin, don’t tempt me to rush things.” He leaned down and placed a chaste kiss on your lips, his gaze lingering on your eyes for a few seconds.  
He rubbed his hands together, popping his knuckles and his wrists, shaking them out briefly after. He rolled the sleeves on his simple button-down black shirt up to elbows, moving to sit on his knees beside you. He dragged two of his fingers down from your belly button and down to your vulva, spreading your labia apart, robbing both of his fingers in between the folds.  
He brushed his index finger with feather-light pressure over your clit. Which at this point, the little bit of contact left your hips bucking a little, thighs jolting inward.  
He smirked, his eyes narrowing slightly as he soaked in your reaction. “I see I’m doing a good job, hm?” He eased his middle finger into your entrance, his eyes trained on your face and his ears listening closely to your sweet sounds. He slid his thumb upward, rubbing against your clit as he moved his middle finger around in slow, circular motions. 
He continued this for a minute or two before sliding in his ring finger. “Is this alright?” He asked, still caressing your swollen clit with his thumb.  
Seeing you eagerly not, your eyes bugging out as you bucked your hips up into his hand made his stomach do flips, something about seeing you so eager to feel his touch had him sweating. 
Inside of you, his hand was beckoning you toward in in a ‘come here’ motion. He used his unoccupied hand to gently apply pressure between your pelvis and belly button, pressing down firmly, but not enough to be uncomfortable. Just enough to max out the growing knot in your abdomen. 
He felt you twitch, your muscles contracting and clenching around his two fingers. His thumb rubbed just a little faster, speeding up until your legs began to tremble, obscenities and incoherent screams of his name fell from your lips. Your legs instinctively tried to shut, your whole body shaking. He used one of his legs to gently pull your leg closer to him, keeping your legs spread.  
He kept exactly at that pace until he could feel the twitching around his fingers come to a stop, your breathing slowing down and becoming heavier. “You got off that much from just my hands? I’m flattered MC, but that simply isn’t the main course.” His thumb slowed, never coming to a complete stop.  
Your broken gasps and trained screams were music to his ears. “L-Luci... Lucifer! Lucifer! So much-!” He laughed, thunderous and taunting, as he leaned in toward your face, his hand leaving your stomach and coming to gently rest on your face. His breath was damp and cool against your ear, his deep voice dropping to but a whisper. “I know you can take a little more. You can handle it, I know you can.” He let out an incomprehensible noise, something between words, a grumble, and a purr. He grabbed ahold of your hand, which had been white-knuckling the sheets without even realizing. He brought your hand to his mouth, pressing a soft kiss onto your knuckles. He then dropped your hand, allowing you to grab ahold of his still-clothed thigh.  
“Is that alright, darling?” He stared down at your face, the look of pure love and admiration clouding over his lusted expression.  
“Yes!” As torturous this much pleasure at one time felt like, your entire body craved it, you knew that no matter how damp your eyes became, they wouldn’t be tears of sadness with Lucifer, as he was far from disappointing in bed.  
There’s something different between love you’ve ever experienced and love from the Avatar of Pride.  
He started his same song and dance, going at the exact same pace that pushed you over the edge the last time. It worked just as a charm as it had before, but faster. He had you thrashing and screaming just from the lightest touch, warm tears of pure ecstasy dripping from the sides of your face and onto the pillow your head was on. He pulled his fingers out, looking at your flushed face, your eyes that were fuzzy and not quite focused on anything, the way your tongue was lolled out of your mouth, your chest heaving as you took deep breaths. 
He gently stroked your head “you looked so irresistible like this... how about we do something else while you take a nice, relaxing, break from that?” He smiled, yet it was far from innocent. 
He kissed your forehead, standing up off the bed. “I’ll be right back, don’t go anywhere.” As if you would, what a joke. 
He waltzed into his closet with an unfamiliar pep in his step. You heard the heavy clunking of metal, which could only be identified as the Mammon-proof safe he kept in his closet. He emerged a few minutes later, holding a small cardboard box of different candles, marked specifically as “unscented, skin-safe candles”. 
Damn well now you’ve got me interested 
You watched as he sat on the edge of the bed, opening the box and pulling out three candles. A white candle, a red candle, and an ultramarine one. “May I?” He mimed out dipping the candle over your body, nodding his head over toward the lighter on his bedside table.  
“Yes...” Your throat went dry, excitement building up in your stomach again.  
He reached for the lighter, setting it beside himself. “Which color?” He fanned out the three colors in his hand.  
“Um, blue. Yeah, let’s go with blue.”  
“Good choice.” he lit the candle, holding it out to you. “Hold this for a moment, please.” You did as he said, watching him unbutton his shirt and slide it off his shoulders. He rolled his shoulders in circles, popping his neck with his hands as he took the candle once more. He appraised your body with his eyes, skimming his eyes across your exposed skin, waiting for the wax to melt a little more.  
He stuck his wrist out and dripped a little onto the underside, just below his palm, squinting a little. “Hold out your wrist, I don’t think testing on my skin is accurate. It doesn’t feel that hot, though.” 
You did just that, sticking out the underside of your wrist. He tipped the candle over your skin, watching as the dark blue wax fell upon your skin. It was just enough to provide a subtle sting, but not much else.  
“Is that alright?” He made eye contact with you, your face morphing to one of pure desperation. You eagerly nodded, responding with yet another “yes”. 
He did another experimental drip of wax onto your thigh, his lips curling into a smirk when he saw you jerk your head back, whimpering softly. “That’s perfect!” In all honesty, you weren’t expecting the burning sensation to feel so... sweet. It both relaxed you and kept you more on edge. 
He dripped a little more on both of your thighs, eventually moving his other hand to toy with your clit again. Dexterous hands working wonders between your legs as he continues to drip hot wax onto your thighs.  
Slowly, he moved up, dripping a little bit just below your stomach, his gaze held captive with the way your hips bucked up, causing the wax to encroach onto the sensitive flesh of your stomach. The smell of the other candles burning in the room perfumed the air, clouding your brain with the smell of jasmine and lavender, the gentle undertones of citrus sneaking up on your senses. 
He let out a soft groan, something about watching the way your body move was intoxicating to him, his ironclad restraint slipping through the same fingers that were buried inside you.  
He drew his fingers out from the space between your thighs, skillfully unbuttoning his pants with one hand, tugging down his underwear just enough to free his excited length. He quickly returned his hand to its previous place, as if drawn to it.  
“I never thought I would get to see you like this, all vulnerable for me. he dripped more wax onto your abdomen, fully aware that you were only half-listening to his words. He didn’t expect you to understand fully, with the state you were in, but he continued to speak regardless. “Humans are thought to be easily intimidated, and perhaps some are. But I’ve tried countless times to get you to submit to me by demonstrating my power, and yet you hardly ever faltered. Being with you has taught me that persuading and treating you or those below me with respect gets me further. After all, coaxing you to open up to me got me an amazing friend, yet an even better lover. And for that-” he leaned down, planting a passionate kiss on your lips, which were still agape.  
He savored the warm puff of air in the form of a moan that escaped your mouth. The gentle buzzing of your lips against his made his heart flutter in his chest.  
All of this, his words that barely registered through your mind, his lips against yours, the burning of the wax; it sent another orgasm racking your body, your thighs trembling in its wake.  
He continued, letting you ride it out on his hand. He had you seeing nothing but white, but also stars, all at the same time. He rubbed his index finger and thumb together, using your arousal to pinch out the flame of the candle, dripping the remainder of the melted wax onto your chest.  
“Are you alright?” He set the candle onto the bedside table. 
Your chest heaved as you breathed in heavily, the wax slowly cooling down and crackling on your skin. “Y-yes...” he immediately got to work on peeling the wax off your body, using a small mahogany scraper to get the smaller pieces off.  
Once he got all of the wax into a little pile on the bedside, he smirked a little. “I have something that will cool you off a little, if you don’t mind.”  
“Yes, please.” Your breathing began to regulate as you laid there, the sheets wrinkled where your hands were holding onto them.  
“Understood.” he reached behind him, withdrawing one of the cubes of ice from the bucket that held the demonus and wine. He held it up proudly, watching as a bead of liquid fell from his hand as it melted in his grasp. He looked at your closed eyes, letting out a breathy laugh as he placed the ice on your thighs, reveling in the sharp gasp that you let out.  
“It feels nice, does it not?” He dragged the ice around your skin, slowly working his way up to your chest. He delicately circled it around your areola, admiring the goosebumps that began to litter your skin.  
“S-so cold...” You groaned out, gripping the sheets again.  
“Of course, it is, Dove, it’s frozen.”  
He continued his cold torture until the ice melted, grazing his eyes over the little droplets of water on your skin, your hair standing on end.  
“Now then.” He flicked the water off his hands and onto your shivering body, shifting to position himself between your legs. He rubbed himself up and down your folds, coating the head in your arousal. And with that, he pushed it in, throwing his head back and letting out a throaty groan as you sucked him in.  
Hypersensitive from the last two orgasms, you began to twitch and tremble right off the bat, even as he stood still. He grabbed ahold of your legs and leaned down, coaxing them over his shoulders. The angle at which was positioned made you emit a whine from your throat. He took both of your hands in his, beginning to thrust as he intertwined fingers with you, pressing your arms down onto the mattress.  
He ducked down further to press his lips against yours, the loud sound of wet skin slapping against each other filled the room, overpowering the sound of both you and Lucifer’s moans and groans. He let out a muffled grunt into your mouth, pulling away to ravage your neck again, the deep red marks from before were sure to result in dark purplish green hickeys, but he was prepared for that.  
Who would the avatar of pride be if he weren’t prepared for absolutely anything and everything?  
Your orgasm creeped up faster this time, once again making you shake and convulse with pure, unrestrained pleasure.  
“Good...” He muttered against your skin. “Just hold it out a little longer, I’m closer...”  
With a few more powerful thrusts that were perhaps a little rougher than they needed to be, he pulled out, your legs still resting on his shoulders as he released onto your stomach.  
He panted softly, slowly releasing your hands from his grasp. “I’ll get us both cleaned up just... give me a minute.” He then let out a satisfied sigh, feasting on your body, his masterpiece; with his eyes, soaking up every aspect of you. The sweat lining your forehead, the little bit of drool seeping out of the corner of your mouth, your scarlet red neck, the white lines on your stomach, the small crumbs of leftover wax still sticking to your skin.  
He moved from sitting on his knees to his butt, placing a loving hand on your thigh and gently rubbing at your slightly red flesh, shocked from both the heat of the wax and the chilling coldness of the ice.  
He sent you a drowsy smile, one that makes your heart melt. He was always so much more vulnerable, so much rawer after sex.  
After a few minutes, he clambered off the bed and picked you up with ease, carrying you off to his bathroom. He nudged open the door with his hip and set you on the counter, placing a soft kiss on your forehead as he waltzed over to the tub. He turned on the water, grabbing a washcloth and dunking it in the cold water. He came back over to you, gently wiping off the white liquid from your stomach with the washcloth.  
“I know it’s cold, but it will come off easier this way.” he whispered to you, making quick work of cleaning you off.  
Once he was sure the water was heated up enough and the bath was filled, he picked you back up and set you on the edge of the tub. “Care to get in?” 
You brushed your fingers across the thick bubbles on top. Does... 
Does Lucifer own bubble bath?... 
The Avatar of Pride takes bubble baths 
Amazing.  
You slid into the warm water, letting it work its magic against your tense muscles. The bubbles reached your chin, and smelled very faintly of lavender and roses.  
“I’ll be right back, I’m going to put out the candles, Love.” He left the room, leaving you to your thoughts briefly.  
What did you do to deserve him? To deserve being treated like royalty from someone you assumed hated you from the very beginning? 
He came back, wasting no time getting into the bath with you, which was more than big enough to hold two people. He scooted up closer to you, slumping against the edge of the tub.  
Lucifer kissed your cheek, sighing softly in your ear, the taste of salt strong on his lips.  
“I love you, Lucifer, Avatar of Pride.” 
“I know.” 
He laughed, the noise vibrating deep from within his chest. A true, hearty, laugh, that was a rare sound from him, even between the two of you. “And I love you, too.”

your steve brat tamer smut- omfg im dead 😭 i took a break from tumblr and this is the first thing i read when i came back i cant do this rn im a slut for steve harrington 🧎‍♀️
also i’ve been thinking a lot abt this and i feel like you would have a great opinion on this:
who would make up the best threesome from stranger things…like two other people who would absolutely just ruin you but in the best way possible
me personally i say billy and steve or johnathan and nancy but atp i’d fuck abt anyone from hawkins
but amazing smut as always they never disappoint 😌❤️
ngl i've had this in the inbox for a bit, but after some thought, here u go lovely <3
threesome with henry creel + billy hargrove HCs~
Tumblr media Tumblr media
now, this is by no means my ultimate favourite, but this is the one that came clear as day to me...
🧡ik, wtf they're both crazy, aggressive, psychopathic dudes with a thirst for power and vengeance, buut
🧡they're both mean!doms to the fullest, and if you could take it, they would like highkey ruin ur ass
🧡both scary asf, but henry would have the patience. he's calm, collected, reserved, disciplined, serious, measured. but he's also aggressive, intimidating, dominant and hypersexual
🧡billy is domineering, big, loud, assertive, energetic; but he's also stern, strict, black and white, forceful and sadistic. and lowkey....they'd fuck w u and each other pretty well. like maybe i'm going to hell but *shrugs in whore*
🧡paired together though??? scary. scary like, oop my vagina just fluttered and pulsed bc omg imagine them taking you from both ends, like-
🧡that, coupled with billy's more guttural, throaty groans, now hoarse form the hours of play you've been indulging in, bc foreplay is a necessity if you're to take either one, but esp both together
🧡that, coupled with billy's more guttural, throaty groans, now hoarse form the hours of play you've been indulging in, bc foreplay is a necessity if you're to take either one, but esp both together
🧡as mentioned, he's much thicker and longer than henry, i think. as much as you adore his throbbing, swollen cock, henry is likewise enthralled at the size and length,
🧡bc although long, he's not nearly as big, and it only makes his dick stiffen in his tight white trousers for both billy's cock, but better yet, billy base-deep inside your sticky, pulsing opening.
🧡billy's not one for a lot of words though, so i think a lot of it would revolve around billy doing his best to go easy or, conversely, going harder than you've ever experienced, and henry doing his best to temper the incrementing intensity of billy's thrusts and the accompanying bucking of your hips into his hard cock
🧡i think henry's a bit of a cuck/voyeur too, so a lot of his favourite foreplay would be watching you suck off billy's slicked up length, sloppy and wet just like he wants it;
🧡meanwhile henry sits on the other side of the room; eyes trained on the way your mouth does its best to accommodate billy's thickness, likely at least partially unsuccessfully
🧡despite henry being the neater, more collected one, he's def got a secret kink for the sloppier, messier, lazier kind of kissing and foreplay; but his inner superiority-complex would at least initially stop him from going after it,
🧡so i think seeing billy just unabashedly have his way with you; slurping, slobbering, licking, spitting, slapping, grabbing, yk, would have an unusually intense effect on henry.
🧡i could go into the power dynamic and play here ofc, but i'll leave it as is and gauge the vibe. if y'all dig the billy/henry/x energy, lmk..bc mean!dom henry and billy, brat-taming the hell out of you - or, henry making you punish billy via edging and impact!play on henry's behalf - it's def smth i could get down with
anywhooo, there u go kelsie. hope u enjoyed. <3
if u want smth like this, feel free to request here!
taglist bc y not: @enamorededdie @ringpop-poppy @spicedchaiandromeda @stargirlfics @anythingjimhopper @goodboyriddler @punanisher @spideyheart @anisbaby @princesssmimi @thedanoriddler @lost-in-sokovia @killerlookz @kelsiejayy @mypoisonedvine @meeshasmind @creme-bruhlee @spilledkauffie @kaylawritesfics @vivian-rutledge @inklore @babybugwrites @littlepadika @underratedcharactersimagines @becca-e-barnes @callsign-rogueone @wishilovedyouinthe80s @jaiheats @freshfleshandblood @axen-gers @c0untryclub @wingedjellyfishrebel @fandomsfuelme @interplanetarytraveler @supe-r-nova @kelsiejayy

Girl i hink i fell in love with your headcanons! Can I request some headcanons about nurse!reader they date says she has another man who is waiting for her in her hometown and she was thinking their relationship is not something serious and just for having fun. For Speirs, Roe, Winters and Nixon. Only if you are not busy of course ♡♡♡
Awe, thank you so much! I'm so glad that you like them, and of course you can request some 🤭 I loved this idea!
Speirs
The last thing he would want to do is step on another man's toes by coming between two people in a relationship, but there's something about you . . . he just can't stay away
I feel like he would be happy to be with you while he could
He understands that someone else is waiting for you and he respects that. At the same time, though, he wants to enjoy this while you both can
He's not the type to try and change your mind. He drinks his Respect Women Juice™️ and will be mindful of your boundaries
But if you - or anyone else, for that matter - ask, he'd be willing to admit that he's invested in this relationship
You'd both definitely get to have some fun sneaking around to see each other
Every time that your nurses' station is set up nearby, he pops in to visit you
Like, he's trying so hard to make it look casual, but all the other nurses are high-key jealous because the handsome man from Dog Company is making excuses to visit you (and to give you little gifts of whatever finery he's been looting lol)
When the war ends and you go your separate ways, his heart breaks a little
You'll always be sort of a "the one who got away" figure for him, but he would only ever think fondly of you
Roe
Y'all would totally hit it off as friends to begin with
You being a nurse and him being a medic, you would spend a lot of time together. The more that you get to know each other, the more that your affection for each other grows
Despite the fact that he's an introvert, I can totally see him opening up to you more than anyone else
Omg, can you imagine? Everyone knows Eugene as this quiet, polite medic, but put the two of you together and he's talking a mile a minute and laughing about every little inside joke between you
Pet names in French! It's very sweet. He never hesitates to display his affection for you in this way
Would be so conflicted when he realizes that you have someone else waiting for you at home
I mean, when the relationship finally starts, he's on cloud nine. So to find out that you had different thoughts about where the relationship was heading would lowkey crush him a bit
When you tell him about having someone back home, he gets very quiet. He looks so ashamed of himself. Especially when he finds his words and manages a sad, "Is there anything that I can do to change your mind?"
You would be so conflicted for the rest of the war, trying to figure out if you should head back home to the love that's waiting for you, or if you should stay with Eugene
I mean, the war changes everyone. What if the man waiting for you at home has changed - or what if you've changed too much for him? Eugene is right there, and he loves you as you are
The romance would definitely take on a bittersweet quality for the rest of the war as you try to make up your mind
But whatever you decide, Eugene would support your decision
Winters
Sneaking around with you is such a thrill for him
I mean, this is like the one time he's breaking the rules. It's kind of exhilarating to find excuses to go visit you at the nurses' station, or to see you sneaking into CP to visit him
I feel like he would think a little more realistically about a war time romance. Like, he understands that emotions are running high all the time, so part of him is always conscious of the fact that this might not last
So he's going to enjoy it while he can
He would constantly check in with you, though, trying to gauge where this is all going so that he doesn't get his hopes up
Let's face it: he's in love with you, and he'll show you through his affection, but he's trying so hard to respect your boundaries
He would occasionally drop hints about you coming to Pennsylvania with him after the war, but if you didn't seem interested in it, he would drop the subject immediately
When the war ends, y'all would definitely share a bittersweet moment where he kisses you goodbye and watches you leave, promising each other that you'll keep in touch
At least you can still be in each other's lives as friends - and if that's what you want, then it'll be good enough for him
Nixon
Okay, so elephant in the room - homeboy is married!
He would start the relationship with the attitude that it's just some casual fling until the war ends
He's more willing to flaunt the rules than others, so instead of sneaking to the nurses' station to see you, he totally just shows up lol
So open with his affection. This man is not worried about getting into trouble. After all, what's one broken fraternization policy in the grand scheme of the whole war?
Because of this, you both feel that you're on the same page about where this relationship is going - as in nowhere, because you both hold on to the idea that it's just for fun until the war ends
I think it would hit him at some point in Bastogne that he has real feelings for you
Winters probably has to point it out to him, haha
And then after that, he would be doing everything in his power to show you that his emotions run so much deeper than what he shows on the surface
He's not the greatest at using his words, so he's probably trying to show you with actions, and starts being more physically affectionate when you're together, or trying to give you gifts
When he finds out that his wife is divorcing him, it feels like a sign that he's meant to be with you
He would definitely go out of his way to confess how he really feels and to try and convince you to come to New Jersey with him after the war
You tell him that you'll have to think about it, and waiting for your answer would be the most nerve-racking time of his entire life, because he's never so badly wanted something to work out
Thank you for the request! I hope you like these 💕🕊️

(PART 2) "Alan"
Human reader on a space team with larger, scarier, and stronger alien teammates
My writing and framing styles are still changing as I'm very much still new at this. Thank you for y'alls support. <3
I hope you like it @hnowu ! :)
[SFW] [FLUFF] [PLATONIC]
-------------------------------------
Description
Alan, unlike you and Ursha, actually works outside of the loading bay/cargo hold. He was a very tall, lengthy lookin guy. He had quite beautiful blue skin with hints of green and grey stripes, kind of shimmery. He had a very long neck with a roundish head that came to a point at his chin, with very large very deep blue eyes. You could only see his pupils if a light was in his face. You could say he kinda looks like the stereotypical "👽" alien although that may be offensive to say. He had a fish like quality to him, in a good way of course. He was about 7'0 and had fine tapered limbs. His hands were very similar to a humans, but long and thin.
End of description
He worked in the "brain" of the ship as the crew liked to call it. The command center, the helm, etc. he worked towards the back away from the navigational work area, handling hardware or software problems while also looking over radars, level gauges, and some more. Others have this job as well, mainly when he goes to the rest of the ship to check the wellness of the machinery.
You saw him quite a lot when the crane in your department stopped working, which kept you from doing a large portion of your job. It took him about a week to fix, and in that time you two would discuss things like your families, home planet, country and town. He told you that a holiday from his country was going to happen soon, in the next two weeks he believed. Apparently it was centered around a good harvest season for mushrooms. You may have related it to thanksgiving, which he would love to hear about.
He said it all started from a historical event where there was some sick noblewoman, a woman who had done amazing things in their society, but the sickness was said to be incurable. That is unless they found a certain magic mushroom for her to eat. Many people in the city foraged for days, bringing in hundreds of mushrooms to be inspected. Just before she was about to pass, the mushroom was found. She regained her strength and carried on being a pillar of society for many more years. Since then, the people had hosted a mushroom festival every year to remember that great effort, and to celebrate our friends and family with the time we so luckily have with them.
At least, thats what he remembered about it. He explained that he couldn't possibly manage to get back to his family since you all were so far away on a big shipment, but he hoped to video call them. You also discovered he had been the medic previously, before the company hired a new one so they could promote him to the control center where that role was desperately needed.
He was very gentlemanly, and would off his hand when you were getting up and down things. Since he was very much larger than you, you sometimes felt like a kid. But he never teased you about it, unlike some others. The crew from the brain could be a bit snobby. Even towards scary people like Ursha. You were an easy target sadly. There have been times where he's talked to about it, having overheard his crew mates saying not so nice things. He apologized on their behalf stating they really weren't mean and were just a bit insensitive. You assured him it was fine.
You also talked about basic things like your favorite music genre. He said his was jazz and blues, along with a few genres you didn't quite recognize. If you believe he's old fashioned, he'd be more than willing to show you his favorite songs and hopefully change your mind.
All of this came to an end, sadly. The crane was fixed and he'd hardly have time to talk while he was doing his regular checkups on the machines.
He did leave you with one final question though,
"Would you perhaps like to join me when I call my family this weekend? I'm sure they would love to see you and hopefully you'll enjoy the festivities, even through the screen."

what do you wish your followers would do? i’m just confused bc you’re asking for feedback but scrolling through your blog it seems like people give you kind feedback all the time. plus your posts get over like 800 notes, from reblogs, nice comments and likes.
what is it you’re hoping for from us? what could we say that’ll change the way you’re doing this? bc from what I can see you’re not fishing for compliments you get plenty without asking. are you asking people to get really constructive? or just wanting to gauge the public opinion?
honestly, all i'm looking for is a simple - i've enjoyed it or whatnot. i do receive wonderful feedback, but it is scarce. and just here's an entire essay explaining my view on it lol :
part of my writing insecurity definitely plays a part, and to be brutally honest - i follow so so so so so many amazing writers who are insanely talented and i envy them soo much <333 i wish i had half their talent. and rightfully deserved of course - i often see them receiving a simple 'i enjoyed ....' being sent to their inbox - and i've sent the same to many many writers too!!! but, i don't tend to get a lot of those, and sometimes i realllly get into my head about it. i'm worried that i'm doing something wrong, or my writing is just plain awful.
and i've talked about this to several of my lovely mutuals too - likes only mean so much, you know? like absolutely - likes, reblogs, and feedback are not necessary - but when they are received, it changes the game entirely. it motivates me to write, and especially helps with writer's block. in addition, i have a folder of kind feedback screenshots i've received within the past few months, and i often go back to that in times i just hate what i write. it's kinda tricky to explain, but likes have a vague meaning. don't get me wrong at all, if someone likes a post of mine, that's so incredibly appreciated and again, not necessary. but a like only goes so far, and majority of my notes on fics are simply likes. like what prompted this person to like it? i would love to hear what they liked if anything, but again, it's not necessary. so if someone was open to sharing, i would love to hear - so when asking for feedback, that's what i'm looking for.
also, constantly requests are sent to my inbox, which is AMAZING and i feel so so thankful and grateful to receive so many because y'all are trusting me with your ideas and i genuinely hope i give them the justice they deserve in return - but that's the only thing i get sent. it makes me feel like a machine in a way - like oh people only care about content, me writing their idea and not me as a person? i tend to make mountains out of molehills - but that worries me in a way because it makes me feel like i'm unapproachable? idk. i want my blog to be a place where we can all talk about aaron, about anything, and although i've been active on tumblr for nearly a year, i still feel like a constant outsider. so again, it's probably just my insecurities speaking, but i truly hope i don't come off as unapproachable, because i promise i'm such an easy person to talk to, i care about you all so much, i want my blog and writing to be a safe escape for others, and i just constantly feel lonely on here. i just don't know what to do in that situation i guess, because again i'm always terrified to talk to others or come off as anon because i don't want to be annoying or something of the sort.
i hope that answers your questions, and i hope any fellow writers can relate 🫶🏻

This may sound awful, I hope there is no judgements.
So I recently married my best friend. We have always agreed that we would be open to additional partners. During our honeymoon we had deep discussions about our breeding kink. I have had a closet kink about being bred by someone other than my husband long before we ever started dating.
Have you ever had a feeling of wanting to be unfaithful and sowing the seed of another?
I'm gonna preface this with an explicit statement that there are no judgements from me, and if I catch anyone commenting overtly negative things to shame the anon in question you'll be blocked.
TL;DR take my advice with a grain of salt. I don't have those fantasies myself but there are a lot of contextual reasons as to why. If you wanna indulge than just discuss with your husband and remember he's a good guy regardless of his response. Also RP is a great way to circumvent reality for a spicy evening.
I'm honored and humbled that people will still occasionally come to me for advice for kink stuff. Please remember that I'm a stranger on the internet with very little context on you or your husband so please think critically about what I'm saying and take it with about as many grains of salt as an advice column.
First off, congrats on getting married and I hope you two are happy together for many years to come! I hope you don't feel bad about having those thoughts and feelings, and for having that kink. Just... thinking about something, unless you're contemplating hurting someone, isn't really harmful, in my opinion, cause you're not acting on those thoughts. I think, especially if its a fantasy like that, there isn't something inherently wrong or bad about entertaining those thoughts internally.
To answer your question, I have not had those fantasies myself, but it's important to consider my circumstances and context. I am a trans woman, so I cannot get pregnant myself. I also do not want kids in really any fashion so like... being with someone who is pregnant, while that is kinda the ultimate fantasy in my little preggo fetish lizard brain, isn't likely... If the planets aligned and the universe's random whims smiled upon me and I hooked up with someone who was like a surrogate or something I'd be living my best life... But honestly anything outside of some weird sexual roleplay with a pillow under my shirt is unrealistic for ME, so it's kind of all fantasy from my perspective.
I think for you, it kinda depends on how much you want to indulge that... going off of just the ask, it sounds like you and your husband have a pretty good relationship with healthy communication. Unless the fantasy hinges on him not knowing at all, I think it could be worth having an honest discussion about it with him? The words "our breeding kink" tells me y'all both like reproduction-centric fantasies, and "closet kink" leads me to believe you haven't told him about it yet? I could be misreading though, again, limited context. In any case, if it's something you want to pursue, gauge for comfort from him. If he's okay with it, awesome, you can talk about what you both want to do to indulge it going forward. If it makes him uncomfortable in some way, that's also okay. That doesn't make him a bad guy. Kink is an aspect of sex, and sex is all about consent.
To kinda wrap up, also remember that it's not like you have to just... dive in face first and get bred by someone other than your husband, immediately or at all. There's a lot you can simulate and enjoy just in roleplay. If you end up finding another partner, you could work something out between all of you. Hell, if you do have a kid with your husband, you could just play into a fantasy that it's NOT his while you're pregnant sometimes, for the thrill of indulging that kink (again hinging on his comfort and consent with it). With kinks like this, you gotta find that balance of enjoying and indulging them while keeping in check with reality. (That's why this lady isn't gonna have any kids, but when she's with someone romantically will definitely lobby to get one of those big fake silicone pregnant bellies because I still wanna be a freak with my partner in the comfort of my own home!)
Yowza that's a novel. I hope I kinda answered your question and got around to the point you wanted me to? Regardless of your decision going forward, I hope you a least feel better about having that fantasy. There's genuinely nothing wrong with it.

Can I request Jason Voorhees A-Y for Tickly Alphabet?
You sure can, buckaroo! (☞゚ヮ゚)☞
A: Aftercare | What is their aftercare like after a heavy round of tickling?:)
Pats...pats your back a whole lot. Sometimes he does it a little too hard and winds up knocking the 'lee flat on their face, but trust me when I say that he is trying his best. XD
B: Bondage | How do they react to bondage, do they enjoy it and if yes, what is their favorite pose?
He doesn't enjoy bondage either way, meaning being tied up or tying others up, because he'd just prefer to keep things light hearted when it comes to such an activity. It's really easy for him to keep a 'lee from squirming too much given his size, but any potential 'lers need to be wary lest this absolute unit of a man accidentally roll over and crush you. '^^
C: Chase | What are their chances in a chase, both as a lee and ler?
As a 'lee, he prefers to play Hide and Shriek (whoever came up with that pun has all my love) rather than engage in a straight up chase because he's not the fastest fella out there. He's very good at camouflaging himself among the foliage, so he's going to have an advantage if y'all are doing this outdoors.
As a 'ler, he once again prefers to turn things into a game if the 'lee tries to have him engage in a chase. He'll usually let them run off for a while, stalking them from the shadows, only to pounce on them once they stop to catch their breath. If the other has a lot of stamina, however, they're absolutely gonna beat him.
D: Death Spot | What is their most ticklish spot?
That would have to be his tummy! It's especially susceptible to raspberries, but you most likely won't wanna give him any given the fact that he's, you know, a rotting corpse and all. XD
E: Expression | How do they express their wish to tickle/be tickled?
When he wants to tickle somebody, he'll approach whoever he wants to go after this time around and start wiggling his fingers in that iconic motion that suggests incoming giggles. How he reacts next is entirely based on their reaction: if they give a positive response, he'll proceed. If they don't, he won't.
When he wants to be tickled, he'll approach whoever he wants to do the deed with his arms wrapped around his midsection. This man is already one of very few words, and being flustered by the topic of conversation (or lack thereof) at hand certainly doesn't help. The potential 'ler will really have to guess what he wants at the end of the day. XD
F: Fight | What is their behavior in a tickle fight like?
Surprisingly enough, he usually rolls over and allows himself to lose. Given the fact that he's surrounded by extremely competitive individuals most of the time, he doesn't mind being one of the ones to end up in last place the vast majority of the time (it also helps a great deal that he actually enjoys being tickled).
G: Gentle | How do they react to gentle tickles?
He's a HUGE fan of these. They make him giggle very softly to the point where you kind of have to strain yourself to hear 'em, and he also cups one side of his face in the palm of a hand most of the time. He's like a gigantic, murderous teddy bear. <3
H: Habits | As a lee/ler or both, do they have specific habits when it comes to tickling?
As a 'lee, he pulls the 'ler into a huge hug whenever they're getting one of his worst spots (usually the aforementioned belly). You'll probably have to end up coming to a close shortly afterwards because that boy is strong and might accidentally break your spine.
As a 'ler, he'll get really close to the 'lee's face (which can be unintentionally terrifying if you're not expecting it). Sometimes he'll even stop the tickling entirely because he's so caught up in trying to gauge the others reactions (his eyesight isn't the best, after all).
I: Interrogation | How well would they handle a tickle interrogation?
Personally, I think he'd just break through his bonds before the interrogator even knows what they're going to do with him. He may be a sweetheart to those he cares about, but he's still a roided up freak of nature at the end of the day. XD
J: Joy | Their absolute favorite thing about tickling?
Hm...I think he'd like how happy it makes him! It's really hard to get those good chemicals flowing through a normal brain, not to mention one that's suffering from a substantial amount of decay, so he's a big fan of this here serotonin life hack. :)
K: Killer Move | As a ler, do they have special skills to use against their lees and drive them crazy with?
His fingers are VERY cold. Like, frigid. While this may not necessarily be an entirely tickling centered thing, the shock of those digits alone on an unsuspecting individual has proven to be enough to draw out more giggles than usual on its own.
L: Laughter | What does their laughter sound like when they are tickled?
It's very deep and breathy, but since it gets muffled by his mask it comes across as a lot more quiet than it actually is. It also has a tendency to become laced with tiny snorts and shake his entire chest when it gets particularly heavy.
M: Mornings | Their tickle behavior during mornings?
He's actually a morning person, and he's one of those people that believes a bit of laughter is better than a cup of coffee any day of the week. He'll give you some tickles if you're okay with him doing so and you're having trouble waking up.
N: Nights | Their tickle behavior during nights?
He likes to be gently tickled right before bed, usually around his neck and sides. It makes him feel very calm (an ideal state of being when one's trying to sleep), and it also gives him a heavy dose of nostalgia because his mom used to do the same thing to him a long time ago. 💔
O: Online | Text messaging and social media, do they have some kind of online tickly behavior to tease their lee or ler with?
Honestly, I can't see this guy being able to understand technology no matter how hard he tries. Bless his soul, he really does try...the whole idea of stuff working behind portable screens is just really confusing to him, you know?
P: Partner In Crime | If they were to go after a lee and accept the aid of a tickle partner, who do they prefer to join hands with and why?
I think he'd enjoy teaming up with Samara the most because he kind of relates to the girl on a spiritual level. The two are actually much closer friends than you'd probably expect, and he's more than happy to assist in holding down a bigger 'lee so that she can tickle 'em all over.
Q: Question | Their response to the question ‘are you ticklish’?
He would tell you the truth, but he'd only be able to do it through a nod of his head because actually saying it out loud is way too flustering for him. He'll let you give him some follow up tickles afterwards (he even looks forward to them if I'm being honest).
R: Role | Lee or ler, what is generally their main role?
He's a 'lee-leaning switch! Surprisingly enough, this absolute menace of a man prefers to be on the receiving end of things most of the time. However, he's not above falling prey to the urge to dish out some tickles if he's in a more mischievous mood. >:3c
S: Safeword | If they were to suggest the safeword for a tickle session, which word will it be?
He prefers to just stop whenever the 'lee tells him to, and then keep going if they let him know they didn't actually mean it. Safewords are hard for him to remember because his memory isn't the best, so this is just easier for everyone.
T: Teasing | Their most favorite methods of teasing their lee/ler?
He does a lot of physical teasing when it comes to fucking with his 'lee. Wiggling his fingers just above their skin, pretend to aim for one spot only to jump to an entirely different one, and tapping out tunes for them to recognize are just a few out of the bag of tricks he usually pulls out.
As for when he's the 'lee, I can't see him doing any teasing of his own to the 'ler. The poor baby is far too flustered. </3
U: Unusual | Do they have some unusual tickle spots? Where?
Right where his scalp meets his neck is a surprisingly sensitive tickle spot. It's kind of like a reset button in the fact that it makes him jump six feet in the air with his whole body stiff as a board. XD
V: Victim | As a ler, who is their favorite lee and what makes this person their ultimate victim?
Personally, I think he'd like to tickle Michael the most out of everybody. He's very close to the other anyway, so he's always going out of his way to bring a smile to the grumpy guy's face (even if he isn't able to see it). Plus, he really enjoys the sound of that guy's laughter - he finds it very relaxing.
W: Word | What is their reaction to the T-word? Can they say it out loud or do they get embarrassed?
Oh no, this poor guy struggles with getting it out. It just gets into his head and fucks with him until his brain might as well be mush (not that it isn't already). Don't make him ask for tickles because you will break him.
X: X-Over | In a crossover AU, which other fandom character would be a fitting tickle fight opponent for them and why?
I would wanna see Pyro go up against him. I feel like they'd just have a really good time rolling around with each other and laughing like dorks together. Surprisingly wholesome!
Y: YOU | Any personal self- or reader-insert tickle fantasy / headcanon to share with this character?
I would love to play Hide and Shriek with this guy. Can you imagine the adrenaline rush? So much fun! :D

“Why did you even ask me out Frankie? Do you even like me?” She was embarrassed, walking towards the door.
“Yes of course, I wouldn’t have asked you if I didn’t.” He tried to walk it back but she was incensed, her cheeks burning bright with anger. She rounded on him when she got to the door, making him step back slightly from her onslaught.
“When you invited me over to meet your friends I didn’t expect to be ignored so you could flirt with her. Get your shit together Frankie, I’m not gonna go out with someone who’s too busy pining over someone else to notice me.” Her eyes were bright with un-shed tears, if she expected some sort of answer or explanation - he had none.
He watched her go.
“Everything okay Francis?” Spills had come looking for him.
“Yes, everything’s good. She had to go.” He had a big smile for her when he turned around.
“Will she be back?” Thankfully she hadn’t heard them.
“I doubt it.” He couldn’t be too sad about it though, not when she looked up at him like that.
——————
**Present Day**
He could still feel her wrapped around him as he walked to the shore. Could feel her moulded to his back, her legs on his waist. He had meant every word he’d said to her, he would gladly stay there with her forever.
“How was the water babe?” Claudia kissed him when he lay on the towel next to her to dry off, wrinkling her nose slightly at the water that trickled from his hair onto her face.
“Beautiful.” His eyes were on Spills, floating in the water. “You should take a dip.”
“No thanks, I’m perfectly happy here. Can you get my back babe?” She smiled up at him but he wasn’t looking at her, his eyes were trained on the water. “Francisco?” She had to tap him to get his attention. He tore his gaze away to face her.
“Sorry babe, yes of course.”
You can’t keep doing this Francisco. Get your fucking shit together and focus.
“You okay fish?” Pope's voice startled him slightly and when he turned to look at him his expression was serious. “You seem a little… distracted.” His eyes quickly flashed towards Spills floating in the water.
I never should have told him.
“I’m fine.” His voice was clipped, he really didn’t need this right now and he hoped his tone was warning enough. Pope didn’t say anything but he had a feeling he’d hear about this later.
“I wanna ask her out.” Benny had sat down beside Frankie and was staring out at Spills.
“You should! You guys would look cute together, wouldn’t they babe? We could double date or something.” Claudia was happy at the prospect but Frankie's stomach dropped. He felt the anger crawling in his gut, tensing his muscles at the prospect of Benny with her.
This isn’t normal, I shouldn’t feel like this.
“I think you should, Benny.” Pope clapped him on the back. “Fish - I think you should put in a good word for our boy.” It was hard for Frankie not to lash out but why would he? He was engaged and Spills was free. What reason could he possibly have to not want this to happen?
There’s only one reason why, and I can’t fucking help it.
“Yeah of course. I’ll talk to her.” It took everything in him to keep his voice neutral.
“Only ask her out if you’re serious, don’t bother if you’re going to fuck around because that’s his friend, she’s not a random.” Will chimed in, ever the voice of reason and Frankie was thankful.
“I know that.” Benny smiled, and Frankie had to keep quiet.
----
Everything was quiet. Your ears were submerged as you floated peacefully in the water, eyes closed. The ocean always managed to make you feel safe despite its size. Maybe that was what appealed to you, it was so vast and unknowable, you could get lost in it.
You saw the shadow obscure the light despite having your eyes closed. Pope was in the water with you and you smiled at him. Of all the army friends Frankie had introduced you to, Pope was the most mysterious. He guarded his words and you had the sense that he knew way more than he let on.
“Did you have anything planned for the bachelor party yet?” His question dropped a boulder into your stomach.
Fuck, I forgot about that.
“Nope - hadn't even remembered until you said it. I have no idea how the hell to plan one.” Your eyes widened at the thought of it and he laughed, not unkindly.
“I figured, I can help you out. He’s a simple guy - but I'm guessing you already know that. I’m guessing you know much more about him than we do in a lot of respects.” He was smiling at you but there was something underneath his words, a tone you couldn’t discern.
“Probably - known him a long time.” It felt like you were under the microscope.
“Years worth of stuff that Claudia doesn’t even know.” His eyes were burning into you and if you didn’t know any better, you’d think he was gauging your reaction.
“In all likelihood, but she’ll learn eventually I imagine.” Your voice sounded a lot calmer than you felt.
“Obviously no strip clubs, that’s not his thing. Just get all his friends together and get him drunk.” He was watching you closely but your eyes were focused on Frankie, he was laughing and happy - talking animatedly with Will about something and you couldn’t help but smile.
“I can see how much you love him.” Your eyes flashed towards him. “Like a brother, right?” He raised his eyebrows at you and you felt the colour drain from your face.
Am I that fucking obvious?
“Yeah… like a brother.” You were lying, even when you were younger you knew you’d always loved him, but it never felt brotherly. He knew. “See ya.” As much as you wanted to be in the water, you couldn't handle the scrutiny anymore and you made your way back to shore.
---
The rest of the day was spent mostly in your head, you tried to focus on the conversations you had. You tried to focus on the water and the sunshine but it seemed like Pope’s words and his implications followed you.
“You okay Spills? You’ve been distracted all day.” You’d been on the road for almost half an hour and you’d barely said anything.
“Yeah - sorry, just tired. Need a shower.” You smiled at him weakly.
“You sure? Seems like you have something else on your mind.” He glanced over to you and your heart swelled. His curls were defined from the salt water, his face was a little pink from the sun and he looked so warm and soft. You ran your fingers through his hair seemingly without thought. It was so soft and you had to fight the urge to keep touching it.
“I’m okay Francis - gotta plan your bachelor party.” You couldn’t keep the sadness out of your voice, hoping it came across as tired. You were both silent the whole ride home.
--------
You never would have thought it, but you were glad to be back at work. It was the one place that had no memory of Francis. You could come in, completely focus your energy and forget everything for most of the day. In all the time you worked there - you’d never been this productive but with the wedding slowly approaching, the anxiety was slowly creeping in.
Nowhere was safe now.
[unknown contact]: hey Spills! It’s Claudia - I got your number from Frankie. I was hoping you’d be able to come with me tomorrow to the bridal store. We have to make sure you match everyone on the big day!
Really fucking wish you wouldn’t call me that.
[you:] hey Claudia! Uh yeah sure what time?
[claudia😒]: great! Appointment is for 10am - I’ll send you the address, see you then! 🙂
[you]: sounds great - see you then!
Well that’s just great.
It had been a week since the beach trip and the peace couldn’t last.
—-
There was something about Claudia that got under your skin.
She’s marrying the love of your life, obviously she gets under your skin.
She was friendly enough, and she loved Francis - you could see that in her excitement; but there was something underneath. You got a sense that she was trying to pull a fast one on him.
“Spills, if Frankie and I move, would you come visit us? I think you’re holding him back a little bit.” She was standing as they made adjustments on the dress which thankfully had made it in time to be altered.
“What? What do you mean?” Where was this question coming from?
“Well, he wants to stay here. He wants to live close to his mom and you, but I’m trying to convince him to live back home with me. Maybe if you told him it would be okay and that you’d visit he’d give in.” Your blood was boiling. Give in? His wants and needs had to mean more to her than that?
I have to calm down, I’m overreacting.
“He already told you he doesn’t want to leave? Maybe you guys should compromise? Middle-ground?” You had to put your diplomatic hat on, couldn’t just tear into this girl. The logical part of your brain told you that this was normal - couples disagree about things all the time and it made sense that she’d want to be close to her family and her home.
“Yes he’s set in his ways. It’s frustrating.” She laughed lightly. “I just think that if you gave him your blessing he’d be more open to leaving with me.”
But you don’t have my blessing, I’m the wrong person to come to with this.
“I really think you should talk to him about this - he’s never been the kind of guy to be swayed. Won’t matter what I say.” You were being honest as well as telling her it wasn’t your problem in a roundabout way. She didn’t say anything else and you could tell she wasn’t happy with your answer. You left it alone.
---
You couldn’t put it off any more, as much as you were dreading this wedding you still had responsibilities as his best-person. You had to get everything together and throw this stupid fucking bachelor party.
You messaged all of the friends you knew he kept in touch with, telling them about the outing. They had things planned the whole week up until the wedding so it had to be the Friday before the wedding. Which means you had little less than a week to get it together.
[you]: Hey Francis - can you give me Popes number? Trying to plan your party!
[Francis]: Sure - sending it now. Hopefully it’s nothing too crazy?
[you]: Shit… you mean you don’t want your own parade? Should I cancel the army of exotic dancers?
[Francis]: You’re hilarious, honestly.
[you]: just taking you to a bar you fool, just want to coordinate with him because I don’t have everyone's contact info.
[Francis]: Sounds good, thanks for this - I never got a chance to ask but how did it go at the bridal store?
[you]: Went well
You thought about everything Claudia had said and debated on telling him. Would he want you to? Would she want you to? Somehow you didn’t think she’d be too happy unless you were on her side. Which you decidedly weren’t.
[you]: Think you should talk to her, she’s not happy with you wanting to stay here, after the wedding I mean. I support you whatever you decide but she seemed to think that you needed my blessing in order to leave with her. I told her she needed to talk to you - and I’m telling you the same thing.
Being honest and supportive was the best course of action and you hoped that neither of them (him more so than her) would be upset with how you went about it.
It worried you though when he didn’t answer and you had to trust that they would both understand that you didn’t actually want to influence anyones decision.
Liar, I want him to stay. Even if it’s not with me. I want him to stay.
You pushed the thought away and messaged Pope, the both of you came together and planned a dinner for everyone on the Friday before the wedding, which would turn into the bachelor party after. In five days, he’d be married and if Claudia got her way - far far away from you.

Playtester AU Chapter 6 real??
Hahaha maybe
God this Chapter took me 10 years I'm so sorry y'all, lmao. But, on the upside, playtester's plot is now a lot more fleshed out, with some free headcanons from the server
Also, big thanks to the Inscryption community discord once again for your help, and specifically @futuremercy , You were such an incredible help! This story wouldn't be what is it without everyone there.
First | Previous | Next (coming soon)
"First things first." He started, trying to ignore the eyes that felt like they were burning into him as he glanced around the circle of scrybes. "This fighting, the bickering, it's helping none of you." He tried to gauge everyone’s reactions, but most of the Scrybes kept a steady expression of indifference. "If the thing keeping you all here is this old, evil data, surely it would be easier to handle if you... worked together?"
The room fell silent, A sense of judgment and disappointment crawling on Luke’s back as the scrybes simply stared at him. Yeah, that uh.. wasn't a good opener. 
"Okay, okay, that was stupid and obvious." He put a hand to the bridge of his nose, squeezing his eyes shut to try and ignore the developing headache he had. "And I'm assuming you've tried it before."
"Duh." P-03's expression was bored, before switching to smug as it spoke, "Look, if this meeting is going to have nothing of worth, then-"
"Wait," Grimora spoke, her voice even but kind. "I'd like to hear Luke out, P-03."
Ah, a second chance granted! It seemed annoyed, before it’s expression flicked back to indifference. 
"Fine."
Luke took a deep breath, exhaling with a light hum. 
"Well, maybe since I'm not an established character in this game, I could try and investigate the old_data." He suggested. "I mean, you're all tied to the code of this game, maybe that's not allowing you to dig as deep as you'd like. If I could investigate without its influence, I could probably find more than you. Any information would be helpful right?"
Silence once again dominated the room, the scrybes looking between one another. This time, however, their expressions teemed with concern. 
"Luke, I don't believe that would be a good idea, we truly have no idea what it could do to you." Grimora started. 
Leshy gave a nod of agreement, however, Magnificus spoke up before Grimora could speak again. 
"I have a sense that you will dig into the matter regardless of our comments."
Luke felt a smile tug at his lips. Magnificus was right. 
"If I'm going to be stuck here, I want to do at least something to pass the time, and well, possibly have a chance of getting this game off this floppy safely. However, it would be easier for me to investigate if you all cooperated, at least for the time being. Meaning, at the very least, no takeovers."
"We can't do a takeover without a challenger, anyways." P03 beeped. Upon seeing Luke's confusion, it sneered. "Oh, did you think we stayed as playthings in Leshy's game for so long willingly?" 
"No, I suppose not," Luke muttered. "But if I'm going to be stuck here for the next.. forever, I don't want to get involved in your neverending quarrel." 
The scrybes nodded, even if they wouldn't get along with each other, they could keep Luke out of it. He took a heavy sigh as they began to mutter amongst themselves a small bit, mostly seeming concerned or tired.
"I… did have one more thing I wanted to bring up."
This returned the attention of the scrybes to Luke, and he couldn't help but be a little startled that these practically eldritch beings snapped their attention back to him so quickly. He stepped back, clearing his throat before speaking again.
"If the game has been restored, it's been restored by someone, right? That means it's possible we could have another Challenger soon."
"It is possible," Leshy remarked. 
"Great, another excuse to start the Great Transcendence," P03 commented, everyone turning to glare at it. 
"That was a joke, I was joking-" it raised its arm in the air in defeat. Perhaps it didn’t want to lose its head again so soon. 
Magnificus sighed  "I suppose it is possible, were you were thinking one of us would attempt a takeover?"
"No, no, not that!" Luke said. "I already covered that. I was more wondering what I would do if a challenger came."
"You could try and stay out of sight," Leshy suggested. 
"If the next Challenger is anywhere as nosy as you were, that probably won't work," P-03 commented, expression annoyed. Luke tried not to chuckle - what can he say, he did enjoy finding secrets. 
"You could stay and be one of our subordinates," Grimora said with a chuckle. "You'd make a good ghost!"
Luke shivered at the reminder that he was, well, dead. It wasn't something he wanted to think about. "I'm not exactly psyched on that one."
"I suppose you could play a role like Rebecha." Magnificus offered. 
Luke hummed.. "yeah, actually, that would be pretty neat. We don't know if the bridge would even be broken when a player got here, so they would need a buffer.. hell, I could fight them!" He perked up at the idea. "Yeah, yeah, that would be cool!"
"Then I suppose it's decided," Grimora said. "If a challenger enters, that is your role."
Luke smiled, before suddenly, a thought popped into his head. 
"Actually, I had a decent sized following in the real world. I suppose we should have an excuse as to why someone with my name was in this game. Like, how Kaycee's dialogue explains she was a developer."
There was a hum of thinking around the room, before P-03 spoke up, "I suppose we could count you as a playtester. I mean, you DID set up an entire store for me, tested all the mechanics, all of that." It's expression was smug. 
Right, the whole stupid idiot gamer thing.. Luke sighed. Guess the game was prepared to go up at any time if those pictures and such did save, but even so, the title of playtester did sound cool. 
"I think that sounds good." He gave a smile. 
P-03 seemed a bit surprised, then smug again. “I know.”
"Alright, then I suppose it's settled,” Grimora spoke, stepping forward. “Then this is an official welcome, The Playtester, Luke Carder."
She offered her hand in a handshake, giving Luke a warm smile. 
He took it.

Welcome to the community!! I can’t wait to watch you grow!💛 May I request some fluff headcanons for Kaminari with a poc female s/o?
Thank ya boo! I love this lil pikachu so much.
Denki Kaminari
Tumblr media
You got yourself one of the most thoughtful boys out there.
Really you guys started as friends and casually slipped into romance.
You two would mad flirt with each other but it was all just for laughs....unless, nah...but what if?
Y'all were "hanging out" at the arcade. He left you for 2 seconds to get more coins, but when he returned there was some dude trying to pick you up, clearly not taking the hint that you're aggravated.
"Hey man move on, she's with me."
The guy threw his hands up and left y'all alone.
"So, I'm with you huh?"
"Yeah I figured he'd leave if you were taken, sorry if I made you unco-"
"No I like it that way actually." You put a coin in stared up at him to gauge his response. The blue light of the machine reflected beautifully off your colored skin, your eyes seem to absorb the moment and shine brightly back at him.
"Well, are we clearing these zombies or not?"
Your voice snapped him out of his trance and he stared at you with all kinds of love in his heart, "Of course we are."
He seems like a goofball but that's just to coverup how much of a simp he is.
9000% sure he's the type to make you those pinterest kits with candy and notes in it. He gets clowned on for it but as long as you're happy he will proudly take a roasting.
Plus you clap back for him so it's all cool.
"Kaminari's girl got him out here making DIY shit."
"Okay, and what's your girl getting? Your hot ass breath yelling? Them nasty ass carmelized gauntlets? Sit down 💀"
Whole squad was crying, Denki ain't even got the heart to tell you that Bakugo was single he just let you get him.
Y'all vibe off each other so hard, you definitely spend a lot of your time laughing with him because y'all can not stop cracking joke after joke.
He acts upset when you steal his clothes but he purposely leaves them out when you come over, praying that you'll steal it.
He also loves touching you, be it a hand around your waist or holding your hand, as long as some part of him is on you he feels at peace.
His favorite thing is just watching you while you talk.
You'e ranting about your day, moving around and describing everything and he's just like
"Yeah babe, mhmm ☺️🥰☺️."
He not even paying attention to what you're saying bruh he's just caught up admiring you.
"Are you listening?"
"I-, well, no, but you're really pretty??"
Deadass him:
Tumblr media
He's also the type to doodle your half asleep face on his notes during a lecture.
"Caught you sleeping in class Hun"
"Denki! You should've woke me up! I was counting on this review for the unit test!"
"Don't worry babe, I got the notes!"
"Okay, thank god."
"Ain't I the best?"
".....these are just drawings of me....."
"Oh....well it's still a good drawing right?"
"We're gonna fail but yes, it's amazing boo."

Okay, let's talk about the spring unit everyone actually cares about for utility purposes.
General Overview Bunny Burgh has a lot of really great tools in his favor.  Crit buffing is good. Defense buffing is nice for survival.  Double Potion MPR means good healing potential long-term.  One-gauge spam that can pull out any move in the game randomly.  Apparently he can even buff offenses, albeit way too slowly to matter, requiring him to attack for a 60% of boosting one or both of the team's offenses by 1.  Oooooh.  Still, given how many strikers nowadays can just buff their own offenses to cap without issue, just covering defenses and crit is a pretty valuable spread.  Oh, and as if that wasn't enough, his grid gave him Stalwart and Unbending, which is fantastic tech against some Gauntlet fights that focus on tearing down defenses, and he got motherfucking Vigilance, so he's a Go Viral shutdown as well.
The odd part of Burgh's kit is that he needs to roll a super-effective hit off of Metronome, which is just hysterically inconsistent to pull off.  I wouldn't even bother trying, frankly.  But given that Metronome is really just there to be a one-gauge spam, it's...hard to say it matters.  Most of his kit will be devoted to support, and guess what?  He's really fucking good at support.  No, I'm serious, this goon is really good at support.  I'm kinda floored that people apparently took a look at him, went "Oh but he's defensive so not that good" and didn't pull.  No wonder so many people were talking about saving for him over the Teatime alts, y'all fucked up last year by under-appreciating defensive supporters and now look where you are.  Honestly, what is it with this community and devaluing defensive support?  First this guy, then H!Caitlin, and even Kimono Jasmine wasn't getting the hype she deserved.  And every time people come to regret it and are surprised to find they were stupid good all along, and yet we do the same thing over and over.  So have fun to everyone skipping Teatime Lillie I guess.
Team 1: Spring Burgh, BP Erika, Janine/Ghetsis I taught my wife about Stall Cheese yesterday, and she's a big fan.  But it also reminded me that Stall is the best F2P problem solving approach in the game, so it bears noting that this guy is really fucking good at stall cheese, covering both defenses and a massive amount of healing from Potion MPR.  Toxic/Trap combo on Erika, and Janine or Ghetsis to debuff the foe.
Team 2: Spring Burgh, Lillie, Lusamine Lusamine's on the brain.  Lusamine's great because of her high base stats, but she needs a lot of help.  Spring Burgh takes off the crit need, and gives her both defenses to stay alive.  Base Lillie then buffs up her offenses with Full Power, allowing Lusamine to use trainer move once, then get blasting.  Lillie and Burgh also have the benefit of matching Fairy theme skills, keeping bulk high overall.
Team 3: Spring Burgh, Diantha, Palentine's Dawn Now here's a fun one.  Diantha can self-buff what she needs, but in this scenario, she's going to focus on trainer move only, while Burgh handles crit. Palentine's Dawn can debuff special defense or attack as needed.  Burgh supplies heavy defensive buffs, Dawn can provide Gradual Healing on trainer move, and the end result is a team that's pretty bulky, with Diantha's natural power taking care of damage output.   Gauges are a bit rough, but nothing's perfect.
Final Thoughts Honestly I could keep going, but I'm tired today and you get the idea.  Burgh does a lot.  Which is kind of annoying because I don't like Burgh.  I don't like him!  He's done nothing to me but I don't like the guy!  I don't like this alt design! I kinda like May's, it's fairly cute, and it has one of my favorite Pokemon involved, but it's terrible, and this dingus gets a Togepi and a really good support set?  It bothers me.  It bothers me a lot.  Last year's spring event seems like it would've sucked if I had it in real time, so thank god we killed that theme for teatime alts.  At least Ingo and Emmet look good.

A Return to Self: Bucky Barnes Ficlets
hello hello, under the cut i have the start of what i hope to be a series of little one-shots of bucky becoming bucky again after being the winter soldier for so long. if y'all are interested, i'd love to keep writing these xoxo find me on threewick on ao3 where i'll post them from here on out!
The doctor tells him to start small.
“It’s good to talk, James. Just to get into the habit. Just a greeting - a ‘hello,’ and that can be it.”
She had said it like it was easy. She said everything like it was easy, like it was within his reach. Bucky liked that about her.
He liked a bunch of things about her. She was teaching him to like things again, starting with the way she spoke to him - not like he was wounded, or stupid, or dangerous. But with a warm curiosity that somehow matched the way she balanced her clipboard on her knee and cocked her head after she asked him a question.
He liked the way she wore her yellow hair up in a twist, and the way little strands of it loosened and corkscrewed around her temples. He liked how the soft skin at the corners of her eyes and mouth had deep lines even when her expression was neutral, like she’d spent so much time smiling that it had permanently etched itself onto her face.
He had lines like that, too, but they were across his forehead, gauged in by scowling. The Winter Soldier had scowled a lot, he’d been told. And had spoken very little.
Some of the Winter Soldier’s habits had seemingly, over the years, become Bucky’s habits. Sometimes he was scared to find out just how many.
But he could start small by talking.
“How does that sound, James? Just a ‘hello.’ Just to the people on your list.”
His list.
The doctor had made him make a list of all the people he could potentially feel comfortable around. She had wanted a list of everyone he already did feel comfortable around, but had ‘hmm’d in a tone of kind disapproval when he’d handed the paper back with a single name on it:
STEVE.
So she’d expanded it to everyone who could, maybe, one day see himself feeling comfortable around. And it had grown by four:
STEVE. RHODES. BANNER. SAM.
And, crossed out twice before being rewritten in a precise, clear hand:
ROMANOFF.
He had intentionally left off Stark and the Maximoff girl. They both made him uneasy. And it wasn’t that he disliked Thor and Vision; he just didn’t understand them yet. Gods and Visions hadn’t existed the last time Bucky had been Bucky, and he needed some time to adjust.
So he had his list.
“Can you do that?” she prompted, head cocked, warm and gentle as ever. For some reason he didn’t hate speaking with her. Maybe because he rarely spoke; it was mostly nods and shrugs, an occasional grunt. Monosyllabic answers.
“Yes,” he finally said.
His doctor beamed at him as if he’d just offered her the entirety of the world and a clean bill of his own mental health. It was almost enough to make him smile back - almost.
At least he wasn’t scowling.
***
Stark was letting him stay at the tower.
Bucky had resisted at first; everything about it screamed no, screamed claustrophobia and too many eyes and too high in the air and too much oversight and where was Steve. He had lived well enough on his own before all of this, lurking as he’d been in alleyways, squatting in luxe spare houses that sat empty for months at a time, breaking and entering as he saw fit and never leaving a trace.
“Thank you. No,” he’d said stiffly, repeating himself intermittently during gaps in Steve and Stark’s arguing match, the pair of them talking over one another at increasingly high volumes, neither of them seemingly aware that Bucky didn’t want either option - he didn’t want to live under Stark’s thumb but he didn’t want to live with Steve, either. He was tired of being at the behest of other people, though he could see Stark’s point, even as inelegantly as he’d put it:
“We can’t just have one of the world’s most sophisticated weapons curled up at the foot of your bed like a pet, Rogers, not when he’s about as mentally stable as Vision after a Nora Ephron movie.”
“He’s my friend, Stark - he needs to be with me -”
“Or do you need to be with him?”
“Just because you can’t understand what actual friendship feels like -”
“Thank you. No.”
“- Doesn’t mean that you can belittle what I’m trying to do here, what progress Bucky’s made -”
“Counterpoint, Capsicle, Benedict Arnold here gets triggered by some Russian and strangles you in your sleep -”
“Thank you. No.”
“He wouldn’t do that -”
“There need to be protective measures to look out for civilians -”
“There need to be protective measures to look out for Bucky -”
“Thank you. No.”
“- So that Anton Chigurh over here doesn’t go on a rampage -”
“No one’s going on a rampage, Tony, for goodness’ sake -”
“I’m just saying, he needs to be where we can see him, where we can intervene if anything goes wrong -”
“FINE! Fine, we’ll both stay here!”
“Thank you. N- what?” Bucky had stared at Steve, scowling again, trying to work out how he felt about this development. Neither Steve nor Tony seemed to have noticed; for someone they were both so concerned about keeping tabs on, it was worth noting that both seemed to go completely deaf and blind to his presence when heated. Steve only gave Stark a heated glare before adding a stipulation.
“But you’re covering the rent on my apartment, Tony.”
“Oh, golly gee, a squat in Brooklyn, however will I afford it?!”
Anyway.
That’s how Bucky had come to be living - temporarily - at Stark Tower, where he was in proximity to the people on his list. Granted, he did spend most daylight hours in his room; he had gotten accustomed to a nocturnal sleep schedule and still found the bustle of the tower during work hours off-putting, even on the domestic floors, so he’d taken to sleeping during the day and exploring at night.
‘Prowling,’ Stark called it. ‘Perimeter checks,’ Romanoff countered, kinder. ‘Bucky stuff,’ Steve said, always with a smile.
Whatever it was, it meant he didn’t always run into other people, which he preferred. Steve was the one he saw most frequently, and even that wasn’t every day, though he did ensure that Steve was present and every morning, midday, and evening.
But his doctor had told him to start small. He could do that. He could start small.
It was just after ten o’clock and Bucky knew that this was the time Steve usually returned from the tower’s gym, hair damp from the shower, face freshly shaved, always wearing gray sweatpants and a white shirt. It was routine - Bucky liked routine. Sometimes he wondered if Steve knew that and he made himself predictable on purpose.
Usually, at this time, Bucky was in the kitchen off of the common area, putting together something for ‘breakfast.’ Steve would always step out of the elevator and greet him with his toothpaste-commercial smile: “Hey, Buck.” Sometimes Bucky would smile back. Sometimes he wouldn’t. It depended on which nightmares he’d just woken up from.
Tonight, though. Tonight he was ready.
He had a pile of fluffy scrambled eggs untouched in front of him and he waited, watching the elevator. The numbers suddenly began to tick - 32. The gym floor. Climbing up, up, up, until they settled on 84, the doors sliding open to reveal Steve, damp and clean, gray and white. He saw Bucky and his expression lit up the way it always did when he saw Bucky, and he opened his mouth -
“Hey, Steve,” Bucky said, beating him to the punch.
Steve’s answering grin could’ve powered the tower for a week.

in your opinion, which harvest moon or sos games are worth playing and which are not? Are the older titles worth it?
So I have to confess, I have played relatively few HM/SoS games to completion. "Completion" meaning: over a year in-game played, got married, had a kid, and/or completed whatever story there is to be done. I am also of the mind that if something makes me happy, regardless of how old, or objectively "bad" it might be considered, it's worth playing. It makes me happy, it's time well spent.
So if you're looking for an actual critical, and well thought out review of the games, I am not the blog to ask. There are lots of other people out there who have given more thought to the matter than I have.
For the record, the games I have played are: Back to Nature, HM 3 GBC, (More) Friends of Mineral Town, Island of Happiness, Save the Homeland, SoS1, Trio of Towns, SoS Friends of Mineral Town, and I'm working my way through Pioneers of Olive Town.
I've played a little bit of Tale of Two Towns, and A New Beginning, but I didn't get very far in either of those before getting distracted with other things. I enjoyed them while I was playing, but also neither of them captured my attention enough to stay invested long term. Make of that what you will.
I never played any of the titles that were released on Game Cube or Wii, and I basically didn't play anything between 2007 and 2014. Which some people will say is when the best games came out, and I missed out on the best titles, but I never played them so I can't offer an opinion on them. And I haven't played any of the Harvest Moon titles since the split.
So of the ~25 games that we have under the Hm/SoS umbrella, I've played 10, and 4 of them are technically the same game remade on different consoles so let's say 6. Several of the games I played as a literal child, and when I upgraded to the next technology generation, I lost my ability to play them. Others I picked up again as an adult and thoroughly enjoyed my time playing.
As for the "worth" of the game, it really depends on what you, personally, want from your game. I've already given you my definition of "worth". I realize it is not Everyone's definition of "worth". Nonny, I suspect, that since you're asking me in the first place, "it makes me happy" isn't the only reason you want/need to invest time and effort into playing a game. I cannot tell you which games you think will be "worth it."
I think each game has it's own value. It offers something that other's don't. Different characters, different farming mechanics, different stories, and I think each one, in its own way has some value to impart on the players.
My long-time favorite game has been the Mineral Town games, ever since we got BTN in 2000 I fell in love with the premise, the characters, the setting. I bought the gameboy versions when they hit stores, and they are the games I most consistently return to when I want something comfortable.
Compared to recent games though, the Mineral Town ones are Really Basic. And while I love the games for their nostalgia, I know some people will be bored to tears by them of they go from playing the more recent games to that. Even when FoMT hit the switch last sumer I had a bit of whiplash going "oh, there's so little on the calendar, and I only have how many different crops to grow? nothing grows in winter? okay." because I had just come off from playing Trio of Towns.
If you want to be busy and have 100 goals to meet, stick to the newer games. If you just wanna chill and do whatever, try some of the older games if you can.
I think, if you have the time/ability to go back and play the old games, and you want to do it, then by all means, go for it!
A lot of them are only available to play on technology that a lot of people don't have floating around their homes anymore. If they didn't get a next gen port to an easily accessible console, so unless you still have a functioning PS2 or GBA, you're not going to have the chance to play them. Yeah, emulators are out there and they work, but in my experience they're also annoying and buggy, and not an ideal way to play the games. If you have the consoles, but not the games, getting your hands on copies can be very expensive.
You are already prone to play the old games. You're gonna play them regardless of my opinions on them. You're gonna shell out the cash or set up the emulator, or dust off the Wii and pray it still works, and i hope you enjoy your time playing!
These games have been coming out over 20+ years at this point, and while many of them are just remakes/reskins/girl versions, that's still so much time covered in video game technology. And comparing the earliest games to the most recent ones is more of an exercise in frustration and futility. You're never going to find the right answer.
(I also don't know what your personal gauge for 'old' is, Nonny. Because Old for me are games that are 20 years old. Old for you might be games that are 5 years old, which was like... last week from my perspective, so...)
All this to say, I guess I'll give a brief opinion on the games I have played, and y'all can make your decisions as you please from there.
Back to Nature/Mineral Town Games: My OG game. Always holds a dear spot in my heart for nostalgia. Love the town, love the characters, love the music, can do no wrong, a very enjoyable, if basic, farming game. Easy to play for a bit, set down for a while, and pick up and play again without feeling like you've forgotten you were in the middle of something important.
HM GBC 3: Pretty sure I was 10 last time I played it, so grain of salt. I found it more boring than the MT games, the town and maps were smaller, none of the characters had portraits, I didn't really get all of the details to make the farm work. I'm sure if I went back now as an adult I would have a better time, but I have no desire to emulate it. If you want to emulate it, go for it, but be warned that if you play as a girl, the game ends after you get married. Doesn't do that if you play as a boy so...
Save the Homeland: I kept going back to replay this game for years. I thought the premise was fun, and I always wanted to try and get all of the endings, but never did. I would buy it again in a heartbeat if it got remastered. Different from other games tho, in that you only get one year to play and get an ending, and once you do, the game restarts you at Spring 1 and nobody knows who you are again. You get to keep your animals and house upgrades, but there's no dating and marriage.
Island of Happiness: I love the setting and the characters, but god FUCK that weather system. Can't get shit to grow unless you obsessively track if it rains and how sunny it is and it completely ruined the game for me. I tried playing it again a couple years back and couldn't be bothered to keep tracking stuff. I never once unlocked all of the crops or livestock on any of my playthroughs. Did manage to play long enough to get married once.
SoS1: The game that convinced me to go back to buying new stuff after IoH kind of put me off new HM games for the better part of a decade (I had FoMT to replay it was fine). Liked it well enough, thought some of the characters were a bit bland, but still enjoyable enough to get married and have a kid. Unlocking all the vendors is a bitch though, and I still haven't gotten them all. A fine game, but if you're only going to play One 3DS game, I wouldn't suggest this one.
Trio of Towns: This one ties with FoMT as my favorite game! I love everything about it. The Characters, the setting and premise, the music, the depth of events. There's so much to do, there's never a boring day, but that can also feel overwhelming if you're the kind if person who tries to do everything at once. Not as easy to pick up and put down as some of the more basic games, but it's very replayable in my book and I keep coming back to it.
Pioneers of Olive Town: It's a middling game for me. Like SoS1, it's fine, but unlike SoS1, there's very little to do in the game. I completed the "main story" in less than a year without putting in much effort to complete things in a timely manner. The characters and the game had So Much Potential, particularly after 3oT, and all of it fell flat in my expectations. Plus some of the technical issues we all experienced at launch. Now, I'm still playing it, I don't hate the game, and the updates have made things better. But with the story done and all of the characters feeling a bit Flat, I'm biding my time between DLC updates to see if I want to marry any of the special candidates instead of the base game characters. I'll probably keep playing long enough to get married and probably unlock everything on the farm, but beyond that I'm not super invested.
My final verdict is, if you have a 3DS, get Trio of Towns, if you only have a Switch, get Friends of Mineral Town. If you want to put forth the time and effort into acquiring the old games, or emulating them, by all means go for it.

Survey #421
“hunted by hundreds and never to be caught  /  descent to wander, bring terror and take 'em all beyond”
Which do you prefer, donut holes, jelly filled donuts or normal donuts? Normal donuts. When you get old, are you going to make a will? I mean probably.

I am obseeeeeessed with Alissa White-Gluz's cover of Powerwolf's "Demons Are a Girl's Best Friend." Have you ever felt as if you lost your one true love? I feel like that all the time. But I should add that I don't believe there is JUST ONE person designed for you. There are way, way too many people on this earth to have just a single, perfect match. Which do you like better: Bowser, Mario, Luigi, or Princess Peach? Well I mean I always picked Luigi in Mario Kart, so I got a bias, ha ha. How many tattoos do you have? Six.

When was the first time you ever listened to your favorite music artist? Well, as a little kid, Mom would play some Ozzy in the car occasionally, and I actually loved "Perry Mason" so much that I would ask for her to play it. Growing up I'd obviously heard "Crazy Train" through random things, but I never truly listened to him until I got into middle school and went through my mother's CD case, discovering new music as I got into rock and metal. Do/did your siblings cause trouble? Nah, not really. If your siblings are old enough, what do they do for work? I honestly don't remember my half-siblings' positions, but my immediate younger sister is a children's social worker, and my older sis is a mammographer. Have you ever been jealous of your siblings? Jealous, no. Envious, extremely. They know what the hell they're doing with their lives and making shit happen. Do you still live with your parent/s or do you live alone/with a partner? I live with my mother. What feeling do you have the most difficulty in expressing? Jealousy. How do you think you would handle yourself in a crisis situation? Freeze up and probably die lol.

This answer can change from "yes, because I'm a good human" to "fuck no because I'm worthless" in 0.5 seconds. Do you think you are competitive? Do you really dislike losing?

Almost certainly yes; I mean that's $100 for something I can just take out if I don't like it. Have you ever dated someone who had a child? No. Would you ever consider adoption? Even if I wanted a child, no. I know I would need either the blood connection or for the child to be my partner's that I truly love. Do you tend to go for guys/girls with certain eye/hair colors? No, I really don't care how you look on the outside. Do you know anyone who plays guitar? Yes. Do you live within an hour of the ocean? More like two hours. What are you currently sitting/laying on? My bed. Have you ever dated a friend of one of your siblings? No. Did you have an imaginary friend as a child? An imaginary wolf, yeah. Which parent do you look most like? My mom, I think. Ever failed a test? Yes. That's all I did in algebra during my last college attempt. Do you have any friends who are famous? No. Your most recent ex breaks down and tells you they love you, what do you do? Well I know she loves me as a friend, but idk if she still does romantically, but either way, I'd tell her I love her too and ask if I can do anything for her. You and your last ex: who should hate who? Neither of us. We have a perfectly fine relationship. Do you believe you pick who you fall in love with? Definitely not. Last thing you ate? I had a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast. Are you obsessed with someone? *discreetly eyes Markiplier* If you had to write a brief message on a dollar bill that many people would eventually see as the currency circulates, what message would you write? I'd have to think longer on this, but definitely something about not putting so much worth into the money and not allowing greed to rule the individual. What serves as the greatest motivation for you in your daily life? The hope for a happy, prosperous future. If you were a multimillionaire, what do you believe you would be doing at this very moment? Well, it's morning and this is my prime time to really just chill and do my first scope of the Internet, so I'd probably be in a beautiful house in the woods of the mountains by a beautiful waterfall. I'd have the windows down to listen to nature, make sure via AC if necessary that it's cool... Damn, that sounds nice. If you could have a cookie jar full of anything you wanted, except money or cookies, what would it be full of? Hm. Perhaps a very motivational quote that I'd draw each day, kind of like fortune cookies, but actually good and applicable, ha ha. If someone were looking for you in a bookstore, in what section would they be most likely to find you? YA or fiction. If your ex came up to you and asked you to take them back, what would you say? Anyone but Jason or Sara would be an automatic "no." Jason would have to really prove himself. Sara, I'd be willing, but would ask her if that's what she really wants given our positions right now. Do you think Ke$ha is annoying? I don't know anything about her personally. I actually liked her music back in the day, even when I was all about metal. Last time you were hit on? No idea. Do you ever write in pencil any more? I always do if I have that option. I don't like that you can't erase with a pen. If you HAD to get a piercing (not ears) what would you get? At this current time, my right nostril again. What do you wish you had more knowledge about? Politics. Would you ever get someone's name tattooed on you? Noooo. Do you have a lot of scars? Yes. I scar very easily. Have you ever had stitches? Twice. Have you ever dealt with a divorce or parents fighting or any kind of abuse at home? Before my parents divorced, there was a lot of fighting. Do you remember the person you first kissed? Of course I do. Have you ever kissed someone you weren’t dating? No. Who was the last person you fell asleep with? Sara. Have you ever listened to music you hated just to fit in? "Hated," no. I just tried to get into bands that I just couldn't, but didn't hate. Ever been called babe? Yeah. What is your favorite Pop-Tart flavor? Chocolate sundae. Have you ever made your parents cry? Yeah, sadly. Do you wear glasses? Yeah. And yet I'm still blind with 'em. Have you ever made out with somebody on a bed? Yeah. Are you tan? Most definitely not. How did you meet the last person you texted? She kinda like, gave birth to me. Next big event? My nephew's fifth birthday. Ugh, how is he getting that old. Do you think you have to be skinny in order to be beautiful? Fuck off, no. There are some gorgeous/attractive plus-sized people. Have you ever made out on a couch? Yes. Has the last person you kissed ever seen you cry? Oh god, she witnessed me sob once. Would you ever get gauged ears? I want very small gauges in my bottom earlobe piercings. What is your favorite sushi? Ew. Have you ever been in a school talent show? What for? Noooo sir. What were you like at 17? Oh god... so sad and yet so happily, madly in love at the same time. I both love and hate that era. Tell us about your worst date. Haven't really had a bad one. I had one with Tyler that was an adventure that most would consider awful (flat tire, had to walk in the whipping wind), but I had fun, ha ha. What should be illegal that isn’t already? I dunno. What’s the song you most wish you had written? Probably John Lennon's "Imagine." What is the worst break up you have experienced? Y'ALL KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. Do your parents wish you were more successful? Oh, I am CERTAIN they do. They'd never admit it, I'm sure, but I know I'm disappointing. I had so much promise in school. Has a significant other called you unattractive before? WOW, no. Has a significant other ever called you by the wrong name? omg no Have you ever caught someone doing something bad? Cheating on their bf, yes. Has a dentist ever screwed up on anything when working on you? No, I don't think so. What is the worst birthday you have ever had? My 16th. I felt very, very unloved. I don't even like going into it. Have you ever been spit on by a llama? No. Have you ever locked yourself out of your car/house? The house, yes. With my elderly dog with arthritis, in the middle of winter after a good snow. I was freezing, sitting on the front porch and eventually crying. My phone was inside so I couldn't reach my mom, who was at work. As night came, I finally broke and went down the street knocking on my neighbors' doors, and probably the worst fucking one opened. With a gun in his hand. He was apparently an ex-sheriff, and he clearly didn't trust me. He was kind enough to let Teddy, who was incontinent and marked territory, inside (thank fuck he didn't pee in the guy's house), and he gave me a jacket, but Christ, we played 20 goddamn questions to see if I was legit, I'm assuming. I was beyond thankful when Mom finally got there when I used his phone to call her. And as it turned out? The door wasn't even fucking locked, our old dog just jammed the hell outta it by jumping. I was so, so pissed.

Another Knight of the Round Table has made his way to F/GO, much to the applause of basically everyone it seems. Betwixt a Servant with massive tits is a kit that honestly rather bland and straightforward, but also good enough to make Percival a good choice for your AoE Arts lancer. Whether he's your best one will depend on your pool, but he doesn't arrive a wash-up.
First we start off with his fundamentals. Like basically every other AoE Arts servant released in the history of ever, his NP gain is bad for his hit counts. His Arts cards are pretty embarrassing, his Quick card is largely worthless, and his Extra ranks at "decent". His AQA chain will generate about 25% of his NP gauge, which isn't too terrible but his NP gen problems will become apparent once you don't have his ideal chains. His star generation is a little kinder to him thanks to his decent hit counts, and both his BBQ and QBB chains can generate around 15 stars each. It's not amazing, but it might make a crit happen when it counts.
His 1st skill is a pretty good skill overall, providing a nice Arts and NP damage steroid while also giving a small but welcome NP charge. The increase in Arts performance will push his AQA chain to about 28%, which is expected because of his mediocre Arts cards. The two steroids together will result in a nice 56% damage bonus to his NP as well, which is a strong start. The cooldown is the expected eight to six turns, but that's probably fair all things considered. The charge allows Percival to instant NP with a K-Scope and gives the ability to fix a looping turn (Spoiler alert he loops), which is always nice.
His 2nd skill is a variation of Georgios' Guardian Knight...and personally I find it to be a lot weaker. It's the same 3-turn taunt which is incredible, now on top of a Lancer further increasing the amount of easily accessible 3-turn taunts to different classes, and also increases his defensive NP gen by 50%. Don't get me wrong, this skill can high roll pretty hard and grant him a lot of extra NP a turn against an enemy with high hit counts, but against enemies that are on the lower end you'd want the Def buff way more than the defensive NP gain, and you might want it more anyways since Percival doesn't pack any soft defensive buffs. It's also at a bit of a weird mismatch with his kit, since he's meant to be in farming comps where this doesn't really matter. But in the future, it might be a good skill in a Nerofest exhibition quest or in a challenge quest of some kind, so I won't be too hard on it.
His 3rd skill is a targetable Invul with an okay heal attached to it, which is always pretty welcome. This skill not only has a lot of versatility in being able to keep others alive, it's also a hard defensive skill for Percival as well as a way to guarantee another turn of protection. It's a good skill and solid support, although not positioned the best in terms of his kit.
His NP is where things get...well a little interesting. An AoE NP that pierces invul is always nice, and the extra NP damage buff is appreciated as well, putting him at 40% total usually. His damage sits on average a little under 20k, which is not bad for an unupgraded NP. He also has a heal attached to his NP, but with a catch: it will always heal the, relatively, most damaged party member. Thanks to his taunt, that will usually be him and it's his main source of sustain, but be careful in team situations where his heal might accidentally go to someone else.
So let's get to the boring part and talk about looping. With his 1st skill active, an NPAA chain will generate about 56% of his NP gauge if he hits 3 enemies, 46% if he hits 2, and 36% if he hits only one enemy. This isn't counting overkill either so it can be even higher. It's worth noting that he will need at least two turns on average in between each NP in order to use it again on his own, which could be a problem...
If not for Castoria! A DCS set-up will result in Percival generating about 73% on average, without overkill, on 3 enemies. One might be tempted to despair there, but overkill makes a big difference in looping and this usually means that Percival can 3-turn fairly easily with just an MC boost to his Arts or NP gen for the second wave on average, with the ability to coast on refund with enough overkill. You can also pop his 1st skill to help with the ranges, since the extra 30% Arts bonus makes the base number jump to 84% and helps with his damage a lot more. All in all, his ability to loop is pretty secured, although not 100% painless.
Grails: Grails are okay for Percival, since increasing his attack will naturally increase his NP damage, making overkill easier and loops easier and more consistent. It's not really needed but you'll still likely notice the difference.
Support: Listen he's an AoE Arts servant, he was practically made to work with Servants like Castoria and Tamamo. His synergy with Tamamo is particularly note while, being able to boost his damage as well as grant heals and reduce the cooldowns on his taunts. He'll also work in very defensive teams as a Taunter with damage output, in addition to his targetable invul for emergencies.
Command Code: Percival can have some pretty solid solo potential with the Good Wife CC, increasing the heal on his NP to 4500 or potentially 6000 if timed right, which makes it a good option, as well as CCs to boost his NP damage and his NP gen. He can also use other CCs that remove buffs if you want to focus on him as a secondary DPS in another team.
Craft Essences: K-Scope gives him the ability to instantly NP, The Black Grail gives him massive NP damage while Royal Icing and Sign of Smiling Face give him less damage but more NP consistency, so on and so forth. If you're lacking a Castoria yourself, any 50% CE can be a good option, with notable shout outs for Painting Summer and Vessel of Desires as the best overall options.
Competition: There are 3 other Arts AoE lancers in the game that can compare to Percival: Fionn, Melt, and Vritra (sorry Elice). To be fair to all of them though, they're all good Arts loopers and all can be used really easily with the right gameplan. However, Percival has a notable benefit in having the highest overall refund to all of them with all buffs up. However, this probably only puts him above Fionn in terms of pure viability. Melt still has a 60% NP charge which is incredible, as well as being one of the only loopers to produce a ton of crit stars, and Vritra not only has higher stats overall, but NP regen and anti-Divine bonus damage. It's best to consider what you need to farm the node in question. He's probably the least finicky of the bunch to get looping. In terms of damage, here is the average damage of all 4 lancers at NP1:
Fionn: 96,691
Melt: 93,224
Vritra (non-Divine): 111,968
Percival: 99,627
All in all, he fits right in as a very competent looper and Arts DPS with the rest of the gang.
Pros:
-Solid steroids give him good NP damage
-NP charge is good on a looper, though a bit weak
-3 turn taunts are always very powerful
-Targetable invul and heal give him good versatility
-Pierce invul on NP will ensure damage most of the time
-Very good refund for an Arts Lancer, makes him easy to loop
-NP has another heal to stack on his S3
Cons:
-Most of his kit is pointless if he's only used for looping
-NP gain is slow when not used in looping comps
-Relies on heals to deal with damage while taunting, which can be problematic with high damage opponents
-Heal may not go to Percival which can be dangerous
Overall Opinions:
Percival did not immediately interest me like the other Lancer on his banner, but he's a good example of an "Ol' Reliable" kind of Servant: everything in his kit is stuff we've seen before, but it's all good and he rounds out being a pretty strong Servant. Good looping, good team support, solid healing capabilities, and good enough damage gives him a strong overall performance, despite the occasional hiccups in his kit and intended role.
He's good y'all.
