#so like feral boys in early teens

Fem!Simon NSFW Alphabet

I really wanted to do one of these for fem!Simon, purely because I have a lot of ideas. I'll be doing a SFW version as well in the coming days! (And as always, feel free to send me an ask if you'd like me to elaborate on any of this).

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Fem!Simon is... quiet. She'll dutifully take care of you, make sure you're properly fed and hydrated, and clean you up. She'll even change the bedding if need be. But all the while, she doesn't say much. Especially in the early days of you sleeping together, she gets a little in her own head.

If given the choice, she prefers to take a bath or shower with you after sex. She'll wash you, hold you, and just wait until the water's cold. Ask her where her mind goes sometime, and she may just give you an answer besides a small smile and a kiss.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

For herself, she's pretty proud of her biceps. She lifts regularly, and she finds the activity relaxing. As a kid, she always wished she was bigger. Stronger. And now, she finally feels like she is.

On you, it's a solid tie between your thighs and your breasts. I've spoken a bit about it before, but Simon constantly has a hand on your titties if she can manage it. Not even necessarily in a sexual manner (most of the time, anyway), just because she thinks they feel nice.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

If she can get you to squirt, she's over the moon. She won't pressure you, and she never wants you to feel bad if you can't do it (her primary concern is making sure you come, regardless of whether or not you squirt, and she knows not everyone can do it. After all, she herself can't).

But if you can? Goddamn if that doesn't really get her going. She gets a little feral with it, begging you to do it again, doing everything she can to make sure it happens.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

She's too embarrassed to admit it, but there's one thing she feels like she "missed out on" as a teen, and that's messy makeout sessions on the couch. Straddle her lap, grind down, and let her taste into your mouth. Even better if she can slip one hand into your pants.

One thing she'd like to ask you for is for her to watch while you touch yourself. Truthfully, it's mostly so she can know exactly how you like it, but she's apprehensive about asking for it, because it makes her feel like a bit of a creep (and she has a hard time keeping her hands to herself when it comes to you).

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

She's got some, but not as much as you'd probably think. She didnt date as a teen/young adult (she hadnt come to terms with her sexuality yet and she didnt date boys/men), and there wasnt much time for such things after she joined the military.

After she was captured and tortured in Mexico, she became mostly sex-adverse, and this didn't really change until she met you. It took a lot of time, patience, and understanding for her to work up to sex, and even then it was more giving than receiving.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

She has two: one with her strap, and one without. With her strap, fem Simon tends to go for standard missionary - it gets her close to you, lets her grind right against your clit, and gives her front-row access to all those pretty faces and sounds you make. She's a simple woman.

Without her strap, she's fond of using her fingers or a vibrator. Her preferred position for this is with you on your back, and her on her side next to you. She'll usually have one arm beneath your head while her free hand works you to your orgasm.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

I wouldn't say she's super humorous, but she does like to keep things lighthearted. She'll crack jokes if the situation calls for it, or give you those soft, smitten smiles you've come to associate with her.

There are times when she gets a little too in her own head. During these, she's more serious. Like she's trying to memorize everything about you (she is). These usually happen more when she's been away for a lengthy period of time, or if her op didn't go as smoothly as it should have.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

She doesn't shave. Anywhere. She may trim her pubic hair if it starts getting in the way, but she doesn't trim too close. She just doesn't see the point - shaving would take up time she usually doesn't have, and shaved pussy kinda squicks her out if she's completely honest.

If you shave, she's not gonna tell you to stop, but if you ask her what she likes best, she'll be honest: full bush.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

She's incredibly intimate. She views sex as sort of an ultimate display of trust - something she unfortunately has in short supply with just about everyone but you. So she acts accordingly. Her guilty pleasure is creating the right atmosphere; she's a sucker for the "low lights, lit candles" type of aesthetic.

And, even though she prefers to use her actions instead of her words to show it, she really does love you. She takes your wants and desires into account no matter the situation, but especially in bed. She wants you to feel good, and she wants to make sure you're satisfied.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Honestly, she doesn't masturbate too much. Her drive is fairly low to begin with, and truthfully she would much prefer to involve you in the process somehow. If she's been away for a while and will be for a while more, she'll take care of her own needs, but it's not a common occurrence.

When she does jerk off, it's a quick affair. She knows her body, and she knows how to get it done and over with, so to speak. She rarely takes time to touch herself anywhere but her pussy, and skips most "self-foreplay" behaviors.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Body worship and praise are huge for her. The woman treats you like royalty anyway, but especially do in the bedroom. She loves everything about you and your body, and she loves showing it. This is more giving than receiving though. It takes her some time to not feel intrinsically uncomfortable receiving praise like that.

For herself, she enjoys edging quite a bit. She feels like it makes the ensuing orgasm that much stronger, plus there's the added benefit of prolonging sex altogether. She doesn't keep track of specific time or edging attempts, she just goes based on how she's feeling.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

She's a simple woman, she prefers the bed. There's plenty of room, privacy, and it's comfortable. She won't turn you down if you wanna go a round on the couch or somewhere else, but if you give her the choice, she's hoisting you up and carrying you to bed.

There have been times when you two haven't quite made it there though, and have wound up on the floor. She'd be lying if she said those times didn't scratch a specific itch for her; there's just something about how primal and needy it was that tends to get her going now when she thinks back on it.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Talk to her. Tell her point-blank that you want her, talk about what you want to do to her (or have her do to you), and she's at your mercy. Bonus points if you lean in and murmur it in her ear - she'll never admit it, but her ears are extremely sensitive.

She also loves it when you get a little bold. Sit on her lap, initiate sex, whatever that looks like for you, and she gets the message real quick. Simon doesn't quite realize it, but she does get off a bit on seeing/hearing how much you want her.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

She's not gonna hurt you or degrade you. She'll give you hickies and may give you some spanks, but not enough to make you sore or leave lasting marks. No matter how much you ask for it, she's not doing it. This goes double for things like cnc, just because of her own trauma.

Also, she refuses to be tied up or blindfolded. She'll hold her hands and arms still in certain positions if you ask her to, and she'll close her eyes, but she needs to be able to move around and see what's going on.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Definitely prefers giving over receiving, just because she can never get enough of you. She won't turn you down if you ask to eat her out, or at least, most of the time, she won't. she does sometimes shy away from the idea of anyone touching her just because of past trauma.

At first, she was a bit clumsy, having gotten most of her education on the matter from porn (and let's face it, that is a piss-poor sex ed medium). But after some time, patience, and instruction, she nails it. Very, very talented tongue on that woman.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

She can do either, though it highly depends on the situation. Most times, she prefers to be slow and sensual. She likes to take her time, likes to map you out and discover new ways to make you feel good. The woman worships you, what can I say.

However, there are times where she gets a bit more rough. This is usually if she's super pent-up, or still high on adrenaline for one reason or another. This is when she'll take you hard and fast - she knows your body, and by god she's gonna make it sing for her.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Not often, but she won't turn one down if you come to her all needy and begging. Otherwise (as stated in letter P), she likes to take her time. But if one of you just can't handle the slow touches and gentle teasing, and if you've been teasing the other one all evening, it's gonna be a quicker session.

Fem Simon will readily admit that quickies have their place, and can be a good way to let off some steam if you've got other plans. But if given the choice, she much prefers those longer lie-ins with you instead.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

She's game to experiment for sure. She's always up to try new positions, new acts, etc. (Provided they don't conflict with any of her "Nos" from letter N). She doesn't want you to feel embarrassed about asking for what you want, and if it's something she's not comfortable with, she'll just let you know.

As for risks, it depends on the type of risk. She really doesn't want to risk any sort of exposure for the two of you, so stuff like semi-public sex is a no-go. She also doesn't want to do anything that carries any sort of significant risk to your physical or mental health. Anything else though, you can convince her to try at least once.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Usually its just one round, but by God Simon makes the most of it. She's got stamina like you wouldn't believe, and she puts it to very good use. Strap game is immaculate, and thanks to her SAS and sniper training, she's excellent at staying laser-focused for long periods of time.

When she's really in the mood and you two have enough time to spare, that one round can stretch for hours. After all, just one orgasm doesn't mean she's done. And it definitely doesn't mean you're done. Not if she has anything to say about it.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Fem Simon definitely owns toys. A couple vibrators (namely a bullet vibe and a wand) and a strap, to be precise. She's definitely down to use them, both on you and herself.

Mostly, she likes to pair them with other sexual acts. Using her fingers in you plus a vibrator on your clit, using the strap while she paws at your breasts, that sort of thing.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

She teases a moderate amount. She likes to keep things light, so naturally she's kind of a jerk about it lol. She likes pretending she doesn't know why you're whining "please" or bucking your hips, telling you to use your words. It has the bonus effect of getting you that much more worked up before she really gets to it.

Simon doesn't mind some teasing at her expense, either. It helps keep things interesting, she thinks. She doesn't want sex to become some formulaic step-by-step thing, so she's down for some good-natured teasing as you try and push her into taking over.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Fem Simon is relatively quiet. Her voice is soft, and the loudest she'll get is a long, drawn-out groan when she comes. Other than that, she tends to keep her voice low, just because most of the time she's laser-focused on all the pretty sounds you're making.

As for what sounds she makes, there's a lot of groans, heavy breaths, and quiet moans. If she's not talking, that is. A lot of the time, she's giving you soft praises and telling you how good you're being for her.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Fem Simon prefers clitoral stimulation over most forms of penetration. She'd much rather eat you out or use a small bullet vibe on your clit than use any sort of dildo or whatnot. Not for any particular reason, other than she just finds external stimulation better (and she's one of the majority of women who can't orgasm from penetration alone).

She did once have a dream where you were under her desk in her on-base office eating her out while she did reports, and quietly kept going while Price wandered in to ask her something about a recent op. She woke up completely soaked and the neediest she'd been in a long time.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

As previously stated, she doesn't shave. There's gonna be hair. As for the actual anatomy, most of it is hidden beneath her labia majora, unless she's got her legs spread. A dark pink color that gets more red as she gets aroused.

A solid B-cup for her breasts. Uses a sports bra most of the time (unless she just goes without, which is equally likely), and wouldn't be caught dead wearing anything with an underwire.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Truthfully, it's fairly low. Sometimes it ticks up (usually if she's had a particularly rough workout or is fresh back from deployment), but otherwise she's more apt to enjoy simply spending time in your presence. There are some sure-fire ways to get her going though (see letter M).

She is more prone to being horny when she's ovulating too. About a week or so after her period ends, it's not unusual for her to wake you up with teasing touches and hushed whispers of how badly she wants you.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Depends on how... intense things get. On an average day, it takes her a bit to fall asleep (mostly because she's more worried about getting you comfortable and taken care of).

If she's come back from the gym or an op on an adrenaline high though, she's out like a light. Once she spends time working out the energy buzz, she knocks out. Twice as fast if you get her to lay her head on your chest while you run a hand through her hair.

[shotmrmiller]

The “reader reminds 141 of soap” blurbs have the brain worms going feral with all different au’s but this one the most 😭

Maybe reader is Soaps sibling (half sibling if they don’t much look like him). They spent their entire childhood in his shadow, always hearing the words “you should be more like your brother,” or the doting from every which way, “Johnny’s a good boy,” “Johnny’s so smart,” “how talented, that Johnny!”

Late teens they find themselves with no sense of self, no idea what to do. They don’t feel like they’re smart enough for college, or enough of a hard worker to go straight into the workforce, so they do as they’ve always been told, looking toward their big brother as a guide and signing enlistment papers.

Military life doesn’t suit them quite as well as it did Johnny, but they’re making it and they’re as content as they think they will get in life. That is, until their entire world comes crashing down as they get the news that their brother was killed in action. They have months to grieve but no one ever taught them how to deal with these emotions so they just compartmentalize. They put Johnny in a box in the back of their head and they try not to think too much about him, lest painful tears prick their eyes. The most comfort they allow themselves is when they find the cologne Johnny always used at a department store, “attracts birds like no other,” he’d always tell them. They bought it without a second thought.

Eventually they’re reassigned, something about some other group needing them badly, “too few people,” they were told. They didn’t question why or what had happened, simply packed their things and moved on with it. Being agreeable was something they’d picked up in early childhood, they already stood in their big brother’s shadow, no need to make everyone hate them as well. Meeting their new task force felt… strange. It was unlike any other time that they’d met the guys they would be working with. Rather than awkward handshakes and “nice to meet you,”’s, the team was all over them. They joked and smiled fondly as if they were old friends. And although it was great, being fawned over like Johnny, they couldn’t brush off an icky feeling of nostalgia. It was almost as though they were a kid again. Any praise felt the same way it did when they were ten, hearing their mother tell them they were “just like Johnny,” when they did anything right. The team doesn’t know who their newest member is, maybe they go by their mother’s maiden name or even a callsign but all they know is that they remind them of Johnny, not that they’re related.

And the reader doesn’t figure it out for a long time. Not when the team mentions their late teammate whose name they would never utter, not even when they felt history repeat itself. Surely it was just an insecurity from childhood, lingering on well past its welcome. It isn’t until the cologne starts giving them an allergic reaction that they realize. They’re devastated at how their skin reacts to the cologne, their last piece of Johnny down the drain. To make matters worse, their new team who had been nothing but kind and doting since the moment they met was suddenly very short with them. Its Gaz who slips up, reader comes up to speak with him, joke around or something, he was the most welcoming presence in the group after all, but he simply huffs a short, “not right now Johnny.” And the world stops.

Fast forward to when they have their little outburst. They’ve been dejected, offput, and it’s not like the team really notices. They weren’t completely mean anymore, not since reader started spraying Johnny’s cologne on their pillow for comfort, the scent lingers on them but not so much it would irritate them any more. The events of their outburst happen and they find themselves in laswell’s office, begging to be transferred.

After they’ve found their place on Graves team, they become more secure in their sense of self. They are a shadow how ironic, they are welcome on their team, they are cared for. The wound is reopened when they face tf141 once more. Ghost utters the soul sucking words, “Johnny would be disappointed in you,” (laswell told the team why they left, borderline shaming them for their behavior towards their teammate out of guilt because she’d known that reader was a mactavish, even put them on the team thinking they’d bond over their loss)

Maybe the reader says something like “well he’s dead now so why should I care,” or “even in death he dictates my life,” or maybe they care about Johnny more than they’d ever let on and they scream at Ghost, “you know nothing about my brother, do not use his name to shame me!”

Sigh, this au rlly did something in my mind. Sorry for yapping, I just had to share my thoughts with someone and ur inbox is my captive audience lol 🩷

ooooh the mactavish turn would be so gut wrenching.

in your mom's anguish, she questions why him? why has the lord taken johnny from her.

what goes unsaid is deafening.

it's always johnny, johnny, johnny. you can't blame him; he did nothing wrong. he had just lived his best life, unwittingly casting a large shadow over you.

one you couldn't dream of escaping.

until you finally do, in graves' company. it's liberating, there is no more fighting to stay afloat in the raging waves of the drowning sea.

ghost bringing up your dead brother is something so him. he'd dig through the soil that johnny's buried under with his bare hands just to make his point.

hateful, vitriolic. that's what ghost is, and you wonder if johnny had ever met this side of him.

"would johnny be disappointed in me? i don't think you even knew him well enough to know that, just like you know nothing about me— sans me being a mactavish. is that what hurts? looking at me and seeing a bit of him? then maybe you should've had each other's back better. don't lash out at me over your own failure."

ty for bombarding me with this

i thoroughly enjoy the idea of having reader be JOHNNYS SISTER that is so gooooodd!!!

extra bite to this angst.

Top 10 Best BLs on iQIYI

Love For Love's Sake

Korea 2024

This isekai KBL is about a man who must win a game by convincing a reserved teen outcast to fall in love with him. Of course, that teen represents himself and his own unhappiness. Like many queer narratives, this show is actually about self worth, trust, and found family, and it is VERY on the nose. But I don’t expect subtlety from my BL and I enjoyed it's truly lovely redemption arc and earnest performances. While I found the narrative a touch disjointed with overworked filming angles and poorer than average captions, this is certainly much better than early KBL in terms of consistency of tone, script, and immersion. Highly rewatchable and charming, which counts for a lot.

Blueming

Korea 2022

It’s a tiny bit dark and a tiny bit bittersweet, almost too honest to a university experience and first love for BL, but if you want your mind ever-so-slightly messed with and your intimacy hellishly sweet, this BL will do it for you in a coldly distant manner, while bitch slapping you with self worth issues. I wasn’t into it at first, but the leads are solid and by ep 5 it got really good, becoming a narrative about self discovery meets understanding and accepting others people’s flaws without hurting them. Ultimately we witnessed two characters maturing because of each other and their mutual affection, without that affection becoming the conflict point. Instead, tension was built around other aspects of identity, popularity, and self-worth. While production values were a touch lower than usual for Korea, Blueming included decent kisses and other forms of intimacy and a satisfying ending plus there’s judicious and very elegant use of tropes, this is a great BL.

Laws of Attraction

Thai 2023

This is a great gay suspense thriller with several solid couples, fun plot, killer characters, queer rep, and a happy ending. Charn may be my favorite lead character in all BL. However, this show is not entirely BL, more on the fringe, like Manner of Death. There are several "singing incidents" and this pair is a little weak in the chemistry arena, but it's tons of fun. All the triggers tho.

Love Tractor

Korea 2023

Most of this country-set BL had me feral for the beautiful broken city boy and his hot young farmer. Hyung romance, puppy/cat pairing, open frankness meets jaded reserve, language play, water hose frolicking, only one bed, just all my favorite tropes. This show was basically a light-weight Restart After Come Back Home and I’m not even slightly mad about that. But (and you knew there was a “but” coming) something about the cringe of the final 2 eps and the impermanence of the ending (both of which highlight the fact that ultimately these 2 are I’ll-suited: too different and too far apart) left me with the feeling that they probably won’t last as a couple. However, in this case, rare for me, I forgive it this finale for my love of the rest.

Unintentional Love Story

Korea 2023

A boy who just lost his job due to faked corruption charges accidentally discovers his ex-boss's favorite artist, now a recluse. Evil manager offers him his job back if he can convince the artist to rejoin society. Instead, they fall in love. I found the artist a bit stiff and reserved but Gongchan (maknae of B1A4) is a fucking GIFT - he carried this show (which I do not expect from the idol element). He was luminous with extraordinarily expressive eyes, just drown in the emoting abyss. The external conflict, social tension and pressure is complex and beautifully executed, plus Korea gave us legit side dishes (NOT a love triangle, hally-fucking-luya).

Bon Appetit

Korea 2023

Romance between an office worker the man from his past next door who cooks well. It was very sweet and cute tale of food as love in the All the Liquors family of KBL. I’m not wild about it, I did enjoy it, I was happy to have it show up on my dash, but ultimately it will simply become one of the KBL crowd.

My Only 12%

Thai 2022

Y-novel adaptation (author Afterday - Bad Buddy) and strong little BL romance (tailor made for SantaEarth) about holding onto first love and childhood, but it’s buried under waffling family drama and formless side characters so that it took a lot of digging to get to - still I recommend it for the killer softly domestic couple chemistry.

A Breeze of Love

Korea 2023

Tsundere insomniac grump reunited with his sunshine jock ex (human sleeping pill) who now hates him. Basketball is also involved. While the simplicity of a reunion plot makes this more cohesive than most KBLs, it is a tad stiff and slow, never managing to lift itself out of "pretty and pretty enjoyable" - I liked it but I don’t think I’m going to remember much about it.

Between Us

Thai 2023

Featuring the hugely popular side characters from 2019′s Until We Meet Again, WinTeam, adaptation of the y-novel Hemp Rope. It’s a serviceable series about hot swimmers flirting and dealing with family drama in a sweetly earnest manner, but ultimately it squanders the talent in play. I would’ve preferred a cleaner narrative arc, less angst and more plot, fewer couples, and a shorter series. That said, there’s nothing objectively wrong, sub-standard, or off-putting about this show. And it has lots of consent and other good qualities. It’s fine.

Dear Doctor I'm Coming for Your Soul

Thai 2022

This is a romance between a doctor trying to save his patients and a reaper who is both his enemy and (eventual) lover (basically the genius premise of a gay Doom at Your Service). High concept looks good on you, Thailand. It’s lovely to see KarnNat back on screen together and they are still great, and Karn is just as painfully beautiful as ever. I enjoyed this one more than it’s ending deserved, and the best I can say is that it’s not strictly HEA but if you’re okay with Life: Love on the Line, you’ll be okay with this BL.

Thoughts on Sibling!Yuu AU

The main reason I made the Sibling!Yuu AU was because I wanted to see Yuu being the older one for once. In most fandoms, it’s pretty common to see a younger sibling reader fic so I wanted to flip that trope for once. It’s also quite rare for the reader to be older than a teen or an adult. The second reason was the massive angst potential it held. That’s right, Yuu overblot was imminent from the very start in this one because honestly the probability of the overblot boys overblotting much earlier because of Yuu is very high and is extremely likely. Them blaming Yuu for some of the things happening in their life is also very likely.

Sibling!Yuu has everything the overblot boys want to have and those with their inferiority complex would just make it worse.

For example with Riddle. Would he blame Yuu for running away from their mother, which in turn made their mother stricter with Riddle so that he wouldn’t end up like Yuu? Would he resent this fact? He’d likely have a negative initial impression of them because they ran from their own mother and Riddle at an early time still thinks that their mother is always right and that means what Yuu did was wrong. Anything or anyone that opposes their mother is wrong. Anyone who opposes the things their mother taught him was wrong. Anyone who opposes him is always wrong. Though, a deep part of him is envious that Yuu got to be free. Whether Riddle blames Yuu or not, Yuu will think that it’s their fault.

Even if he doesn’t say it out loud, Leona would feel irritated every time he sees Yuu telling him what to do and what not to do so he doesn’t end up like them. Their constant presence keeps reminding him that the only reason he couldn’t become king was because he wasn’t born earlier and Yuu got a taste of that crown, even if they did get kicked out of the family in the end.

Yuu’s constant interference with dealing with Azul’s bullies when they were younger only made the bullies bolder and meaner the moment Yuu went away so there’s that possibility of some kind of blaming in that one, just like in Riddle’s situation.

As for Jamil's situation, although not Jamil's sibling, Yuu's still part of the Asim family and Jamil technically has a resentment for them because of, well, everything. He was forced to downplay his abilities and be responsible for Kalim, and he has no choice but to serve the Asim family. Kalim himself might not have a problem with Yuu, but Jamil sure does because there’s another person from the Asim family. Another person he has to be responsible for because they seem to be just as careless and reckless as Kalim, even if Yuu is technically older. (Someone stop me, please, I am becoming feral. I can’t stop thinking of Jamil getting a huge crush on this Yuu for some reason and I am internally screaming. He really gonna do the enemies to lovers arc after his overblot, or even before that, and I just can’t. He really said: ‘If I can’t get out of this family, I’m just gonna have to marry into it.’)

Then we have Vil. Yuu would definitely be a big contender for the most beautiful one of all and Vil is not happy. Now that he’s realized that he actually had a sibling, he has to compete with them to be the most beautiful. And he just can’t understand why he’s losing to a sudden sibling he hasn’t even met until now! What was so different between the two of them? Yuu wasn’t even that active in social media before but now that they were staying in NRC for some reason (for plot reasons), people were now beginning to constantly compare the two of them and it’s driving Vil insane.

As for Idia, after seeing the reason why Ortho got diagnosed with the dead, there’s also some blaming there. Yuu’s supposed to be one running the S.T.Y.X organization but both Idia and Ortho (the og) got inside and managed to hack the system. This’ll definitely raise the question of why the two were allowed entry easily when there were dangerous things locked inside the place and why Yuu wasn’t keeping a closer eye to them when they were in the facility that led to the accident. 

I might also have to retcon the previous Idia!Yuu's background to fit with Shroud brother’s story. So now the idea that I have is that Yuu was present for the brother’s childhood growing up (kind of) but they didn’t have a close relationship and it was very distant. The Shroud brothers probably don’t remember Yuu, either. They probably thought Yuu was just an employee in S.T.Y.X. and not their sibling. Still, Yuu cared for them so much that when the incident happened, they were overwhelmed with grief and willingly locked themselves away because they fully blamed themselves for what had happened.  The only reason they broke out of their self-imposed prison and landed themself in NRC was because they heard Grim talking about Ortho as if he was alive and wanted to see what was up with that. Yuu doesn’t want to show their face to their younger brothers because they’re ashamed and feel like they don’t deserve it.

Then we have Malleus. I don’t know if he’s the jealous type or not, but seeing your older sibling be more sociable than you (somehow, even when they act like a kuudere) and getting more friends than you despite the fact that they’re the older Draconia sibling while Malleus himself was avoided and have had people fear him would be kinda frustrating. It’s another case of ‘what do you have that I don’t?’ thing. Or maybe the others are taking Yuu’s time away and they barely hang out with Malleus and he finds this unfair because Yuu’s their sibling so why is everyone taking them away? Why isn’t Yuu hanging out with them?

Additionally, we can’t forget the fact that Yuu literally go against the boys. There’s bound to be some feelings of betrayal there. Kinda like a. “We’re family and you’re taking their side?! Why are you abandoning me for them?!”

throwing my hat into the should bingqiu be parents ring to say No. Neither of these adults should be parents but for wildly different reasons until they've had like 10 years post cannon to work shit out.

This is because these idiots have so much shit to work out between them and if you threw a kid in there any point before the story ends and well after I can't see this going well.

Reason 1) Have you ever met someone in their early 20s who has been in an on and off again mess of a relationship that clearly needs couples therapy? I have. Don't

reason 2) Everyone keeps being all Luo Binghe would be absolutely jealous of whatever baby ends up in their acquisition and I would like to say FALSE. Binghe's hatred of any babies is tangential to age and adoption vs weird mpreg vs where in the timeline. For example if Shen Qingqui acquires a baby pre abyss at 17ish and said child is in an age range of 7-15ish he's gonna be jealous because that's an age range where this kid could potentially compete with him any younger and you're bordering toddler territory which is about in the same range as literal baby. Where this kid could get his room. If it's a baby tho he doesn't hate the baby. It poses no threat. It's a bonding experience.

If anything he's absolutely more worried about the kid being a secret love child with Liu Qingge or some other threat.

The same applies also minus that last caveat if he ends up teen pregnant. This version of child snatching is weirdly the one I think they'd be the best with even tho they absolutely should not be doing that.

Meanwhile if Shen Qingqiu acquires or has Luo Binghe's kid while their in the abyss then Qingqiu is gonna be a mess of a parent if it is full straight up baby. The man has the domestic skills of a boiled potato. He probably is leaving most of this baby's care to Ning YingYing and Ming Fan by virtue of having to actually do his own paperwork now and other tasks. Like he loves the kid but.... like let's be real liking children and being nice to them does not a good parent make. He's probably panicking and demanding help every five minutes driving them all insane. Meanwhile if Binghe finds out about this kid and it's not his specifically he's gonna lose his shit because it means Shizun's got himself another malewife and he bets it's that whore Liu Qingge. And if Cucumber man let's it slip then Lou Binghe is never letting that child leave his sight. He is acquiescing that kid. And if that child is not a baby he will go into panic mode because that's his REPLACEMENT. Shizun got a new fluffy child to dote on.

Again if Luo Binghe somehow ends up pregers when he falls into the abyss I will say he will become the most disturbingly devoted parent possible and both cherish and resent the child and be absolutely feral about it. If he finds one down there he probably takes care of them and is kind because like Luo Binghe is a fucking orphan. He knows what it means to suffer without parents. If he sees a small demon kid named 4 balls (the long lost brother of 6 balls) or something he's not gonna abandon them to die.

Meanwhile if it's like new item obtained: small child! about water prison and after or one is found out to be mpreg.... I mean Luo Binghe would triple on his imprison Shen Qingqiu for the sake of the baby if it's him. For himself I think he would either tragically walk away and say the baby is all he gets as a piece of Shizun's love or it's like more desperately clinging and waiting for SQQ to cave. Any adopted child at this point is a threat. Our boy's brain is too far gone for that. Child's must be acquired before this point or risk softlocking your game. Also side note depending on where in the timeline Yuan gets pregnanté you can make an incredibly angsty but also comedic argument about abortion as that is certainly one way to take care of it.

Post cannon children can be acquired and this will not make Luo Binghe jealous. Man will see any kid as an extension of his and Shizun's love immediately post cannon. He's not jealous of the baby. If anything they're vetting the baby's playmates. He insists on breast milk long past it being required. You have to get a daypass to even look at this child. The baby has nappies worth more than your house. Man would be a disturbingly protective parent. He would be the one to spoil the kid rotten.

Our trust fund protagonist would have to be the moral compass on this and that is funny and terrifying

Reason number 3) they would be those hoa and pta parents. their kid would be the asshole child in the school who everyone knows they can't bully.

greek god stomega au, where steve is the son of zeus and omega is the daughter of demeter!

the wizard of oz au, where omega is dorothy and steve is the evil lion who keeps dorothy all to himself?

gossip girl au, i think you answered an ask where omega and steve were watching gossip girl but anyway, bucky would be carter baizen and i feel like bucky would also be gossip girl or peter😭

oh! baker!omega and misogynisticbusinessman!steve, he decides to go to the bakery nearby his workplace/building and sees omega there and eventually leaves his fiance(sharon)

I know this is super ooc for steve and omega but smug artist!steve x shy model!omega

well that was all i could think of, hope you enjoyed reading this!!

OMG OMG OMG you have no idea how much I love this ask! I need to answer it properly and give my thoughts on each AU!!! Bare with me! 💜💜

So firstly, Greek God Stomega AU?? YES PLS! I was a Greek mythology girlie back in the day! (Like my tweens, early teens haha). Steve would be Hades and Omega would be Persephone! Except he wouldn’t be her uncle pls. ORRR maybe Steve could be Apollo since Apollo is the Sun God 😭😭 except everyone thinks he’s this golden boy but actually he’s extremely debauched, promiscuous, MEAN and obsessed with human!omega and wants to make her his!

Bahaha Wizard of Oz Au! I can imagine Steve being the Wicked Wizard of the West hehehe

GOSSIP GIRL STOMEGA AU YES YES YES!! But I feel like it’s very similar to POYT in the sense that the privileged elite go to poyt university! But if poyt uni had a gossip girl, it would DEFFOOO be Peter lmfaooo and HE DOESNT EVEN GO THERE!!!

Omg omega as a baker would be so cute!!! She loves to bake in poyt (but dumbasses keep flinging her brownies out of her hand 🙄) I can imagine businessman!Steve going feral for her bc she’s so cute and little in her pretty apron with flour all over it, and she’s got flour on her cheek and she bakes the BEST cakes and brownies and cookies and Steve stalks her and is in love with her and she’s so friendly and innocent but she doesn’t even know who he is PLS 😂😂

I LOVE THE IDEA OF omega as a model! But it would be a really harrowing, dark story. I can imagine her being forced into modelling from a young age to support her family. She’s super shy and naive but she got scouted at the grocery store or something and landed a photoshoot which gave her a bit of money (which her mom took) so now omega had to drop out of uni to support her family by modelling. And industry people keep wanting to take advantage of her bc she’s so trusting and cute. Buttt she’s not dumb so she’s also wary of all the attention she gets and she just wants to run away from it all. I can imagine smug Artist/photographer Steve wanting to fuck this cute lil innocent omega sooo bad and he manipulates her and takes advantage of her but of course, falls for her in the end in CLASSIC POYT STEVE STYLE

Besties which au is your fav!??

[karizard-ao3]

What if Eren actually gets into a fist fight with another boy over Mikasa? Jean/Colt/Porco tries his chances with her in front of Eren, who’s not her boyfriend but is aggravated and escalates the situation out of jealousy

Ooh, I don't know if you've read my longfic, Clueless Teens, but Eren gets into a couple fights with Jean on Mikasa's behalf (but in these cases it's to defend her honor).

As for fist fights out of jealousy, Eren is a scrappy boy and for sure gets into a lot of fights, but I think he would restrain himself from getting in a fight with a guy just because he's hitting on Mikasa. I don't think Eren wants Mikasa to know how into her he is because he's afraid she'll turn him down. And also, she's free and so he's not going to stop her from going out with another guy if she wants to.

Actually, Clueless Teens pretty much exemplifies how I think Eren would act, which is that he'd be incredibly obnoxious towards the guy and disparage him to Mikasa and pretty much do his best to cockblock in whatever way possible without actually admitting why he's doing it. It would only come to blows if the guy was bothering Mikasa or disrespectful to her.

Although, don't get me wrong. Eren is insanely jealous and if he could antagonize the guy enough that he starts something he would be overjoyed.

Actually, for some reason this ask has me picturing Eren getting into a bar fight over Mikasa.

Picture it. They're in their early 20s. They're out drinking with friends. They've both dated other people and whatnot but Eren's relationships never last long because the girls always realize he's in love with his best friend and Mikasa's don't last because she always dumps them after a few months (she's got a list of qualities she looks for in a man that just happens to describe Eren exactly but she hasn't made the connection yet. It doesn't help that she's got Eren constantly in her ear, badmouthing these perfectly nice guys. These fellows don't measure up to her elusive dream guy so she kicks them to the curb).

Mikasa has gone to the bar to freshen her drink and Eren is watching her, sipping his own drink, when some handsome blond jerk slides up next to her and starts chatting to her. Eren is seething as he watches Mikasa smile at this other guy and he finds he's just drunk enough to slam the rest of his beer and get up to get another one.

He elbows his way into the spot on Mikasa's other side but she's so busy flirting that she doesn't even notice him. Eren manages to put his drink order in before either of them manage to get the bartender's attention. He is getting progressively more angry because the guy is getting kind of grabby but Mikasa isn't protesting so he doesn't interfere. He gets his beer and Mikasa's vodka cran, then pokes her in her ticklish spot, making her shriek. She spins around and her face lights up when she sees who it is. Eren grins at her and hands her the drink.

"Who's this?" asks the other guy, his eyes narrowing.

"This is my best friend, Eren!" she says. "Eren, this is... uh..." She looks over her shoulder at the guy."

"Colt," he supplies.

The guy frowns. Mikasa bats her eyes at Eren, sipping her drink through her little black straw. Actually, she's batting her eyes a lot. It kind of looks like- Oh! Eren, Armin, and Mikasa learned Morse code one summer in elementary school so they could flash messages to each other from their windows and Mikasa is flashing a message to Eren now. "Get me away from this guy."

Eren's lips pull away from his teeth in a feral smile. Absolutely he can.

"Alright, we've got our drinks. Nice meeting you, Dolt," he says, putting his arm around Mikasa and guiding her back to their table while Colt scowls.

"I told him I was just here to spend time with my friends tonight but he kept trying to convince me to go get food with him anyway," she says, with an adorable, annoyed frown.

Eren makes sure to glue himself to her side for the rest of the night to keep any other suitors away from her.

Things start winding down early. It's a weeknight and they all have shit to do in the morning, so the bar is still pretty busy as everyone wraps up and heads out. Eren and Mikasa are actually the last ones out of their group left.

Eren's closing out his tab and Mikasa is going to the bathroom and calling an Uber (they're going to split it, of course, because they do everything together).

You know what? I'm switching the guy from Colt to Floch. I believe with my whole heart that Colt is a girl crazy man whore but that he's also very chill and respectful about it. He would never pester a girl who didn't seem interested.

So Eren finishes paying and signing his bill and he turns around and sees Floch is at it again. He's got Mikasa cornered and is going on like, "hey, your friends left and the night is still young. Let's go get takeout and bring it back to my place."

Mikasa is visibly uncomfortable. "Sorry, I'm just kind of tired," she says, pretending to yawn. "I think I'm just going to go home."

Eren, unable to hear any of this, goes over at that moment to extract her and says, "I'm ready to go. Did you get the Uber for us?"

Floch, who is very drunk, gets pissed. "Oh, you're tired, huh? Too tired to go get something to eat with me but not too tired to go fuck this asshole? I see!" He starts ranting and Eren steps in front of Mikasa.

"Hey fucker. She doesn't owe you anything. Back off."

"Get out of my face!" Floch shouts.

"Get out of hers!" shouts Eren. "Mikasa, get the Uber. We're leaving."

Floch is absolutely furious because now everyone is watching and whispering and he's embarrassed and, again, very drunk.

That's when Eren goes in for the kill. "Loser," he says with a sneer, loud enough for everyone to hear. "You probably can't even get your hand to fuck you."

This has exactly the effect Eren had hoped for. Floch punches Eren in the face. "You saw he hit me first," Eren says, pointing at a random guy, who nods. Then Eren grins and punches Floch back.

The ensuing scuffle is quick and brutal, but Eren's not trying to get banned from the bar, so as soon as he's got Floch subdued he lets up. "We have an Uber to catch," he spits, then grabs Mikasa and leaves.

Their ride does actually show up a few minutes later and Mikasa fusses over Eren, who did not come out of the fight unscathed and, now that they're for the most part alone, is groaning. He's going to have a nasty black eye for sure.

"Do you want to come to my place and we can ice it?" Mikasa asks, touching the tender spot on his cheekbone. "And oh... Your lip is bleeding! Does it hurt?"

And then Eren, because he's also drunk and is crashing after the adrenaline rush from the fight, says without thinking, "Yeah. You should kiss it better."

There's a pause during which his brain catches up to his mouth and just as he's panicking that he's gone too far, Mikasa says, "Okay," and presses a soft kiss to where his lip has split.

They look at each other. There is a very, very long silence before Mikasa looks at her hands and says, "Sorry."

Eren, his heart racing, laces his fingers through hers. "I actually think you should do it again a few more times. It's still kind of sore."

She peeks at him, blushing. "So you want to come back to my place and I'll... see what I can do to fix you up?"

Eren almost stops breathing but he manages to pull himself together enough to treat her to a rakish smile and accept.

The end.

Sorry, I kind of went wandering off there. Anyway! That's how I think Eren's jealous fighting goes! He just antagonizes and cockblocks his rivals until they give him an excuse to punch them.

Absolutely DELIGHTED you added 2012!Jonatello to the silly little feral turtle crossover fic, genuinely. It wasn't even necessary to add it, it's a whole side-plot that the story could probably survive without, but you added it anyway. It hasn't even shown up yet aside for tiny little hints, which are easy to miss if you're not looking for it. And yet you threw it into the pot anyway. I didn't even start reading the fic for it, and yet I was delightfully surprised to see it anyways. It's like ordering a happy meal with no expectations for the toy and getting the exact toy you would've wanted anyways. Amazing. Even though I know we're gonna get brutally murdered while reading the fic (discord member here haha) I'm perfectly content with it simply because Rotten Reflections has everything in it that makes it the perfect tmnt fic for me. It has quickly become my new comfort fic and I'm absolutely delighted I get to see it develop in real time. Getting to see the update notifications in my inbox every week has definitely been the highlight of my year so far. I always love it when I get to be a part of a fic completing its journey, and fics like Rotten Reflections is why. Thank you for sharing this wonderful fic with us, I look forward to being apart of this journey with you, your editors and crew working on the fic, and my fellow readers. I'll see you in the comment sections of chapter nine!

Hiejcue JJ dufnfhvhgj

AHHHHHHHH

Tbh me and The Crew(tm) added jonatello way back in those early stages when this fic was mostly a joke and something we just liked the idea of, it wasn't even going to be tagged originally cus it was such a background peice, but then I decided no one, absolutely no one, in the au would be bashed.

Aka Aprils misogynistic poor clearly 2012 female character writeing suddenly became an issue.

As a result of her getting the Nico Treatment (tm) her boys got pulled in as a result (cus their a trio! And her original concepts where just so good, god im fucking drooling over what I have planned for the threes growth as individuals and together and how it affected them growing up from young teens to nearly adults-)

Because they got pulled into this development with her, suddenly they had an a background act set up to just get them together, their unique set up, why they acted the way they did when they where younger and now, etc etc.

That much being dedicated to them ment that I had to main tag them instead of just background tagging them like originally planned!

God I hope you guys like what I have planned the poor discord, forever cursed with knowledge ;b

Feral ROTTMNT HCs PT. 1

I've been seeing so many AUs and such for Rise! but not so much on if the boys were raised wild/more heavily entuned to their animalistic nature (if there is already, I'd love to see!) So here are some personal head canons on how I think they would act (All characters are portrayed as 18+! Unless stated otherwise)

---------------------------- - The turtles after mutation and saved by Splinter would have either somehow escaped and got lost, or if we want a darker twist Splinter had shortly perished after being mutated. Whether it is was due to the mutagen being too much for his body to bear long term, or other reasons is up to interpretation - They had ended up in the surrounding woods around New York through the sewer systems and had settled where it felt more natural. They had stayed hidden in abandoned burrows and ponds for the most part of their very early years - Raph being the biggest, even when they were small is the one that protects him and his brothers from predators growing up when they did eventually venture out into the open for food. Being a mutant turtle has some serious perks when it comes to survival, that includes a nastier bite force when push comes to shove. I feel like he would be the most defensive when it comes to Donnie's safety, as he's most at risk due to his softer shell - Because of this, Raph carries many scars from throughout their childhood and teens. Most of them he got from getting his brothers out of dangerous situations. Sometimes he swears his brothers have no self-preservation, it only got worse when they got curious about the humans and society - As you might expect, the brothers cannot speak english. They were never taught, so they communicate through hisses, chirps, churrs, etc instead. They believe others can just magically understand them, they soon realize this is not the case - Leo, Mikey and Donnie are the ones that are fascinated by humans first and try to find out more. Raph simply comes along to make sure they don't get themselves killed, he does start to see why they love them after a few trips into the city though - They get around via the sewer tunnels, and spy on people through storm drains - Donnie likes collecting trinkets and broken tech pieces that people throw away while Mikey takes a shine towards the more colorful things that get tossed, including used art supplies. He likes to use them on himself or his brothers if they let him, or just simply decorate whatever surface he finds suitable - Leo just likes stealing food from people when they aren't looking, maybe their wallets too if it's just sitting out in the open. Just about anything he can get his hands on honestly without being caught - He has a collection of random ID cards and Drivers Licenses stacked up somewhere in the den they had made when burrows got too small for them, he just thinks their neat even if he doesn't know what they are. He'll make fun of the pictures and try to mimic them with his brothers - Raph mainly just takes things he thinks will benefit their home, thrown away blankets and stuffed animals is his go to- but he will nab anything he thinks his brothers will like if he can get it - He's the one that actually got them their masks, he thought that it could be used as camouflage if they ever got spotted by humans since they see humans dressed up with colors all the time - It does not work at all, but A for effort big guy Okay so it is word count, at some point it just doesn't save your work anymore lol. I'll be sure to post more stuff and how our dear Y/N gets mixed up in this

nobody asked for it, but here are some doodles of Salamandrians if they appeared in the ROTTMNT universe. just had to get them outta my brain so i can focus on more important things — like finally doing some proper fan art of the boys ✨🥺👉👈✨

also… have some head cannons as a treat ✨:

.

.

.

.

.

• Salamandrians are TALL. The average height of a full grown adult is between 6’0” and 7’0”, though they have been known to exceed this and reach heights of 8’0” or higher (there are some exceptions to the status quo *coughY’Gthgbacough*, but they are few and far between) ✨ they also vary in size, but the common denominator is that they are fit and muscular in some form or another ✨ like the 2012 series, the Salamandrians culture is focused heavily on maintaining a warrior’s honour both on and off the battlefield. They are also known for their deadly, highly advanced tech—from weapons to their hyperdrives ✨ they are an incredibly prideful race, and can be snobbish to other races, to the point of being elitist in some cases ✨

• Salamandrians go through 3 major stages of metamorphosis during their life ✨ The first stage, from birth to early childhood, they are essentially tadpoles and are fully aquatic. Unable to breathe above land, their lungs form externally on their head (like axolotls 🥰) and gradually shrink throughout the rest of their lifecycle as they grow lungs internally and disappear entirely when they reach maturity/adulthood ✨ Because they are aquatic, they are unable to verbally communicate and are born with telepathy, allowing them to communicate mentally with one another. When they first reach land—later in their youth cycle—young Salamandrians ‘absorb’ knowledge and skills (i.e. learning language and etiquette, etc) through pressing their foreheads with another being (usually their parent//adult guardian). Similarly to their external lungs, this ability fades as they mature, though it is not uncommon for juveniles/teens to retain some fraction of their telepathy. However, it usually requires great focus, and in some circumstance direct touch, to achieve even a little success. By the time they reach adulthood, Salamandrians lose all telepathic ability ✨

• As well as being fully aquatic and having telepathic ability, from birth young Salamandrians more FERAL then their adult counterparts with insatiable appetites and a monstrous state to match (they’re like little carnivorous gremlins 🥰). As they grow and mature, Salamandrians ‘mellow out’, shedding their ‘animalistic’ selves for more intelligent and controlled states of being—though their feral instincts never quite go away and will emerge whenever triggered/called upon in battle, though are generally more ‘controlled’ rather being full feral mode ✨Upon reaching childhood (i.e. roughly between the ages of 4-6yo) Salamandrians’ begin to enter their ‘amphibious’ stage. Their internal lungs have developed enough for them to spend short periods on land, though they still spend most of their time under water ✨ by the time they are teens/juveniles, Salamandrians will spend their time predominately on land/above water, but will need to either submerge themselves in water for a brief period of time per day (notably during sleep/rest) or install hydro filters in their suits to allow their skin to absorb moisture and prevent themselves from ‘drying out’ ✨ when they reach adulthood, Salamandrians don’t require constant access to water/moisture on a day-to-day basis, but is obviously a comfort/familiarity to them ✨

• like the 2012 series, the Salamandrians are at ‘war’ with the Triceratons for destroying their home world, Salamandria—though it is more of a one-sided conflict with the Salamandrians as the main aggressors, while the Triceratons don’t see them as much of a threat worthy enough for full intergalactic war despite being the initial instigators ✨the Triceratons invaded Salamandria a decade or so ago before the start of the series; overwhelmed the Salamandrians; drained it of its rarest resource, Empyrean; and as a final act of malice, destroyed it for being somewhat connected to the Krang—their enemy, and the driving force behind their terror across the stars ✨

• similar to the yōkai and mutants on earth, Salamandrians owe a lot of their genetic make up and the metamorphism/mutation in their lifecycle to Empyrean ; long ago, before it came known as Salamandria, the Salamandrian’s home planet was occupied by another intelligent species that was conquered and consumed by the Krang. Seeing nothing worthy left to enslave, the Krang left, leaving behind a canister/a supply of Empyrean that drained into the many connecting ponds and pools of water found across the planets surface. In the years that followed, the first Salamandrians arose from the watery depths to take their first steps on the surface ✨

• Empyrean is essential to the Salamandrian lifecycle, especially for their young. It is what allows them to not only exist in a general sense, but is needed to help them progress through their natural state of metamorphism (i.e. from tadpole to juvenile to adult). Without a steady supply or alternative, Salamandrians have experienced a devastating decline in their population growth and are rapidly heading towards extinction ✨ Y’Gythgba//Mona is part of what is known as the ‘last generation’; the last cluster of Salamandrians born on Salamandria and have survived into adolescence ✨

• after her battalion/research team’s space scouts (i.e. mini drone satellites) pick up Empyrean readings coming from Earth, Y’Gthgba/Mona’s life ambition to save her kin from extinction is revitalised and ignited, full-throttle ✨ Going against the general consensus to take the Empyrean by any means necessary (i.e. by force/conquering) and strict orders from her father and commanding General, General G’Throkka, Y’Gthgba steals the co-ordinates and hyper jump calculations to earth; erases them from the scouts’ memory banks to give her time to find an alternative to war/invasion and/or Empyrean substitute; takes her ship/amphibamech equipped with the latest and fastest in hyperjump tech (of her own design fyi, even if it is still in beta/testing and has a habit of miscalculating jump points between dimensions…) and crash lands on Earth, or more accurately Central Park, NYC, some months after the Krang were defeated/sealed in Dimension X/the prison dimension ✨ and voila! SHENANIGANS ENSUE!

Mama’s boy chapter 3

Plot summary: Spider works up the courage to ask Quaritch about his mother. He’ll quickly learn that his mama was just as feral as he is.

Relationships: Spider Socorro and Miles Quaritich Paz Socorro/Miles Quaritch

https://archiveofourown.org/works/45725335/chapters/115157206

_________________________________________________________

       He had to admit, the nights were gorgeous on this planet. The bioluminescent plants shining like the neon cities of his home world. The millions of stars glittering up above. The gentle breeze caressing his cheek. It was peaceful

            He needed that peace after reopening the wound that was Paz Socorro. Quaritch sat in silence, watching over his squad as they slept. He tried to force himself to clear his mind, focus on anything other than her. But after the discussions of the night he couldn’t help it. He missed her. 

           He stood up, feeling the need to move. If he just kept moving those feelings of longing, grief, and guilt couldn’t infect his heart. Right? Right!?

            Quaritch paced the camp taking in each face of his contentedly sleeping comrades, their bodies all huddled around their now extinguished campfire, their breathing shallow and even. Then he moved on to his son, who had set up shop some distance away from the rest of the group. 

           It had been a battle just to get the boy to lay down for the night. Spider was eager to know more about his late mother and had refused to go to bed no matter how much Quaritch had urged, reminding him of the late hour, how early they’d have to be up, the things they’d have to do the next day. Eventually Quaritch had reached the end of his rope and simply picked the boy up, plopped him down on his sleeping bag and tucked him in so snuggly, you could make the case that he’d used the blanket as a straight jacket. 

         Spider had glared and hissed at him but soon after, the boy was out. Quaritch was thankful. He couldn’t handle any more discussions of her and he’d made the decision that his son couldn’t either. He was a tough boy where it counted but at heart Quaritch could tell his boy was sensitive. At least when it came to talk of their ruined home world. And so Quaritch decided they were done for tonight. Maybe forever.

          Spider was restless in his sleep. If it wasn’t for how tightly he was wrapped up he would have been tossing and turning. Instead he was rocking on his side, face scrunched up in the throws of his nightmare, little anguish groans escaping his lips. Quaritch crouched down beside his boy. He moved his son's long locks out of his face, gently shushing him. If it wasn’t for Spider’s mask he would have affectionately stroked his cheek in an attempt to soothe him. 

       This is my fault, he thought. He had felt it necessary to educate his boy on the history of their home world but now he was thinking he may have been too harsh. Clearly he had filled his son’s mind with horrors. Quaritch sat beside him, whispering words of comfort, rubbing soothing circles into his back. Eventually Spider's face relaxed, his breath becoming even. 

        Quaritch looked up to the moon. It was about time for him to wake Wainfleet for his turn at keeping watch. Before he got up he checked Spider’s exopac. 45%. That wasn’t good enough for him. He switched out the battery, woke Wainfleet, then set up his sleeping bag in close view of his boy. 

————————————————————————————————

The first rays of the early morning sun gave light to the rising recom squad as they busied themselves with their respective morning routines. Mansk was starting breakfast, Ja and Z-dog stretching sleepily. Wainfleet was just trying to feel alive, he was so tired. He looked over jealousy at the still sleeping human boy, who looked oh so cozy and comfortable.  He probably needs to get up, Wainfleet thought. Yeah, he was just going to innocently wake the kid. He grabbed a metal pot and spoon, tip-toeing closer to the teen. He crouched low, right next to the kid's ear, ready to strike, when a hand struck out, quick as a flash, grabbing his wrist. He looked across Spider’s sleeping form to look directly into his leader's eyes.  

Quaritch sighed heavily, it’s too early for this shit. He laid a hand on his son’s shoulder and began to gently shake him awake. Spider groaned in protest but didn’t rise. “Come on kid, rise and shine.” he said, increasing the speed and force of his shaking. Spider responded by flopping onto his stomach and burying his head in his pillow. Well I tried being nice. Quaritch looked up, meeting Wainfleets eye once again. 

No words were needed. Wainfleet grinned, while Quaritch rose, walking away with his hands over his ears. The rest of the team turned to watch the show. Wainfleet resumed his earlier position, pot and spoon practically right on top of Spider's ear. Then with great enthusiasm, he rapidly beat the pot, the sound of metal on metal echoing through the previously silent jungle. 

Spider jumped from his bedding eyes wide with surprise, before glaring and hissing at the man now laughing at his expense. “Sleeping beauty’s finally up!” Wainfleet yelled, making the rest of the group laugh harder. Spider, stalked off into the tree, still too tired to come up with a good come back. 

When he returned the rest of the team was sitting in a circle eating breakfast, and going over the day's itinerary. Quaritch saw him out of the corner of his eye and without looking at him, held out a plate for Spider. He took it and moved away from the group, plopping down on the ground, as far away as he could without Quaritch snapping at him. “Aww, he’s like a grumpy little kitty.” Z-dog taunted, the rest of the team snickering. Spider glared at them again before setting to the task of eating. Would he rather shove all the food into his face as fast as he could, or would he rather take his mask off then put it back on between bites. 

He decided on shoveling it in, in the hopes of having some climbing time, while the squad packed up camp. Spider took a big breath, then as fast as he could started smashing the food into his mouth, using his hands to scoop up as much as he could in one go. He didn’t notice the disgusting noises he was making, or the horrified looks of the recoms as they all turned to look at him.

“Jesus Christ kid chew your food before you choke on it!” Quaritch yelled at him. Spider ignored him. Spider heard Quaritch’s bone weary sigh in the distance before the man was in front of him, taking the plate from his hands, and forcing the mask back onto his face. No words were spoken between the two of them. They just stared each other down with matching annoyed looks. Like father like son every onlooker thought. It was strange how much they looked alike in that moment, considering they weren’t even the same species. 

Quaritch, having enough of the stare down, hauled the boy up by his wrist, grimacing at his son’s disgusting greasy hands, leading him over to the circle of recoms, and forcing him to sit next to the spot Quaritch had previously occupied. He grabbed a nearby rag, harshly rubbing at the grabby hand still in his grasp. The whole team had to stop themselves from giggling in shock.

Spider tried ripping his hand away in embarrassment “I’m not a toddler!”

“Then don’t eat like one!” Quaritch threw down his hand, and gave the boy back his breakfast, pointedly dropping a fork on the plate with a loud clatter. The kid sulked but quietly ate his food, putting his mask back on between bites. 

Wainfleet felt a little bad for the kid. He started his day with a very rude awakening because of him, now the kid was basically in time out. While watching the kid wolf down his food had been truly stomach turning, Wainfleet couldn’t really judge him. Watching him now, constantly fiddling with his mask seemed tedious and frustrating. Wainfleet would have probably eaten like a rabid raccoon too if it meant avoiding that. 

Talk of the day's plans finished, the group began to disband, busing themselves with breaking down camp. Spider remained, taking one hindered bite after another. Quaritch wouldn’t let him get up until he finished his plate. The man was watching his son like a hawk as he packed, making sure the kid didn’t try dumping anything. 

Wainfleet slid up to the kids spot, receiving a questioning glare from the boy. If he’s going to have to sit here forever he might as well be entertained. “Hey kid, you want to hear about the time your mom kicked my ass?”

_________________________________________________________________

          Lyle was having way too much fun with this “punishment” the colonel had concocted for the new recruits. They had apparently all partied their first night away. Now they were all tired and hungover. They were obviously in perfect condition to spar with the top dogs in Hells gate.

         The rules of engagement were simple. The combatants would agree on a weapon, or go hand to hand. After that anything went. Fight as dirty as you wanted. This was Pandora after all. You either fight with everything you got, or you die. Simple as that.

         All the new meat had been complete and utter chumps so far going down in one or two hits. That didn’t matter much though. The colonel had instructed them to make these idiots, in his words “regret every decision they ever made that brought them to this planet.” And Lyle definitely wasn’t above kicking a man when he was down.

        So one after the other the new recruits would step up to the mat. One after another Lyle or one of his teammates would kick their asses, sending them to the sidelines bruised and bleeding. 

       It was his turn again now, but he thought there was no one else to fight. Z-dog had just taken down the last new man he had seen. So imagine his surprise when he was approached by a gorgeous young woman, with big brown eyes, long dark hair braided down her back, a cock sure smile playing at her lips. He couldn’t resist looking her up and down, taking in the curves of her body. God damm, how’d a smokin hot babe like this get here. And how’d he get lucky enough to go a round with her.

He smiled at her “I’m Lyle”

“Paz” Damm she’s got a hot voice too. It was deep and husky, that one word rolling off her tongue like the purr of a cat.

I think I’m in love. “Don’t worry beautiful” he said leaning down a little to be more on her level “I won’t hurt you too bad.”

She smiled but for the life of him he couldn’t tell if it was genuine or not. “I’m not worried.” Then they centered themselves on the mat, standing directly in front of each other. She hadn't even bothered to ask if they’d be fighting hand to hand or with weapons. Lyle had exclusively been fighting hand to hand so she must have just assumed.

       “Fight!” the colonel barked from the sidelines.

      Lyle opened with a leg sweep but she was gone, completely out of his site lines before he could adjust himself. He looked up just in time- to have her forearm slam straight into his face. A loud crack sounded through the room. Blood gushed from his face. She’d broken his nose. 

    Lyle was on his knees now, hand over his bloody nose trying to regain his barenings. But she sure as shit wasn’t going to give him any time. He barely saw her out of the corner of his eye, as she did a spinning kick flip nailing him on the side of his head. 

    The next thing he remembered was the colonel standing over him, barely visible to his spotty eyes. He was propped up, voices buzzing around him, like annoying insects. He looked out, and saw her standing at the other end of the mat. She was looking around without a care in the world. She must have felt his eyes on her, but was pretending not to. Lyle watched as she looked down at her forearm, noticed his blood all over it, and absentmindedly wiped it on her shorts.

for the ask thing: every third one?

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will. idk if it counts bc I haven't been in the fandom since the first part of s3 aired, but I never got into Stiles/Lydia from Teen Wolf, like, at all

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom? not counting HP, for obvious reasons, I've loved Newsies since early 2011, so probably that

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why? first one that comes to mind is The Walking Dead - people were so horrible about Lori and it just soured the entire show for me

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. I'm pretty indifferent to Crixus from Spartacus (I realize I might be a terrible person for this but eh) but he is so sweet and such a good partner when it comes to Naevia

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of? The last song I listened to was Not Done Yet by Superchick, so…it's a little too upbeat for her but I get lowkey Andy TOG vibes.

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom? I'm not calling it my all-time favorite, bc I really can't pick just one, but the first one that comes to mind is Wylan&Kaz from Six of Crows x)

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

Joan Watson, but if we got into reasons why we would be here until next Thursday.

Nicolo di Genova - he's such a complex character! He has one of the biggest hearts in the world and his purpose in life is to take care of people but he is also a feral ruthless badass who will murder you dead if you hurt his family, that's one of my favorite character types ever.

newer character on the favorites list, but Wylan Van Eck. He is also a sweet kind boy who will also kill you to death if necessary. And he's so smart! And talented! And traumatized!

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom. I am just going to answer this with a helpful diagram:

I've never listened to 5sos, but now I want to. Do you have any recs or playlists?

HELLO YES

Okay so my personal fave eras are Sounds Good Feels Good and Youngblood and honestly Shes Kinda Hot EP is so fucking good its insane they don't acknowledge it more. Here's my extended takes on each era. I'm super biased no one bully me pls just my opinions.

(if you listen to my original AU playlist there's a healthy amount of 5sos on those btw)

Self-Titled: it's pop-punk as written by 15 year old pop-punk fans, obviously not their most technically competent or creative era however there's kind of a flavour of unabashed youth and naivety thats super fun. It's also one of their sluttiest eras and they literally won't stop singing abt trying to get with older women. Top songs from this era for me are English Love Affair, Social Casualty, Never Be, Kiss Me Kiss Me, Disconnected, If You Don't Know (from Don't Stop EP, find it on Youtube) and End Up Here

Sounds Good Feels Good: My fave era of all time. SO good for mentally ill queers. Feels so artsy and high concept compared to a lot of their other stuff and my personal favourite lyrics era. Good for the slightly older pop-punk enjoyer, or if your in ur late teens early 20s and just absolutely going through it. Top songs from this era for me are: Lost in Reality, Broken Pieces, Catch Fire, San Francisco, She's Kinda Hot, Story of Another Us (I'm an Mtrench Stan and they wrote this with Josh so <333), Safety Pin, and Waste the Night. Honorable mention: their movie single for Ghostbusters, Girls Talk Boys

Youngblood: My first concert was this era!!! When I tell you their comeback made feral. For the depressed and slightly horny. Definitely feels different from prev eras in a cool and mature way! Much more pop but still maintains a lot of alternative influence. Top songs: Youngblood, Why Won't You Love Me, Babylon, When You Walk Away (target special check youtube), Valentine, and Meet You There.

Calm: Was not that into this era if I'm being honest. But the singles from this era are like crack cocaine to me. Definitely even more pop than their older stuff. Good for those wanting something about established relationships. More slow-songs and less grainy textured guitar than before. IMO some of the later songs in the album blur together a bit but my friends like the album so theres that. Top songs: Wildflower, No Shame, Red Desert, Kill My Time

5SOS5: It's not even out yet IDK man. They keep singing about how much they've grown as people which is so funny to me actually but Me Myself and I, and Take My Hand are my preferred singles so far!

Ashton Solo Project: I listened to Skinny Skinny and kind of just fell off it but I feel like if you like Calm and 5sos5 you'll like Ashton's solo stuff (based on just vibes tbh)

Luke Solo Project: I would like to inject Starting Lines straight into my veins every day for the rest of my life. I've listened to a bit of the album and so far I think if you like later Marianas Trench or Conan Gray this is for you!

Misc: Take What You Want with One OK Rock is gods gift to mankind.

AU idea where teen Luke joined the rebel alliance early and become a spy and joined the senate as an aide before catching the attention of Vader and becoming his personal assitant.

Honestly the poor kid gets out through the ringer with Vader and is pretty much the only person allowed to give Vader lip for it due to Vader’s strange and unconscious fondness for the boy.

Luke joined Vader on his mission with Thrawn to Batuu in ‘Thrawn: Alliances’ and is caught in the middle between a seemingly suicidal Chiss who loves poking at the metaphorical bear known as his boss and Vader who seems to be debating on whether he wants to toss said suicidal Chiss out the airlock.

Honestly this is just an excuse for me to use this line.

Luke, calling Vader and Thrawn from their ship and watching the drama go down from a reasonably safe distance: “You have 13 seconds before the whole building fucking explodes you hot topic wannabe and you blue gumball son of a bitch, you have done nothing but destroy my life I hope you both die!”

OMG Luke joining when he is like sixteen and by the time he is nineteen, he is a full-blown rebel. Before he is twenty, he is deep under cover and acting as an imperial assistant to the feared second hand to the Emperor and they just get along in a really weird way. And he may even get along weirdly with Thrawn too. 

Luke is cheeky and smart. While Thrawn may not like Luke, it is hard to fully understand his likes at times, Thrawn respects competency and wit (one reason he seems to view Hera more as his rival than even Ezra or Kanan) and Luke, though bratty and wild, has a lot of that. Thrawn respects and enjoy things that are different but things he can sort of control and own and study—and I could see Luke piquing his interest (more so in a curious fashion than anything else). But you know who would loathe to share his competent and funny and great pilot assistant? Vader. 

Vader, all possessive and full of hate, would just hiss like a feral cat at Thrawn for being close to Luke.

And yesssss, Luke saying that would be so FITTING omg

Very exciting news - i converted my main tumblr blog because it was supposed to be a blog for me to try and post about writing and became inundated w minecraft boys so here we are - feral mumbo anon is off anon >:) now i no longer have to worry about hitting the button hehehe

UH SO GRIAN AND MUMBO???? Gayer than hell. Gayer than the devil himself. No normal person sees an ex-engagement gift in their friend's bag and go 'no hes MINE' BOYS THATS GAY YOU ARE BEING GAY

Also all of scars backstory aaaaah. Did i wake up at 3 am and read this again so my thoughts are incoherent at best yes. But lil baby scar and cub were so cuiuuute oh my god two lil 7 year olds just out here makin it til they break it

I do love how the entire time scar was like "I am Aware cub and I share a birthday [i think???], got 🌟 randomly 🌟 paired up as kids, are two entirely different classes, and debuted super early. And hes so smart. And somehow an arranged marriage never crossed his mind. Jesus the DEVASTATION

Also the awkward teen kisses were everything tbh. I love when teenagers are like "*shuffles nervously* i know what im doing" bless them.

But scar???? Telling off the entire elven court in front of them and getting free because of Cleo??? I love it. Brave man, he deserves the world. I cant wait to meet cleo tbh, at least i hope we do. Cleo my beloved. But also i hope we meet the elven king not in a memory because something tells me bird brain and blood brain would do something drastic and dumb, like yell at him. Or punch him. 👌

But also just like, for them to get to sit their and assure scar that their friendship [and love] comes with no strings attached is everything to me. For this to be the moment both grian and mumbo are looking at each other like - "Wait a minute- Scar-?" Cannot wait for them to have that conversation tbh. Imagine looking at your boyfriend, realizing hes got feelings, and being like "oh thank god" if these two dont TALK i am gonna go MAD i am NOT a slow burn girlie pop

Oooooh nice, welcome to non-anon <3 Nice to *formally* meet you~ <3 If only I could be main blog </3

They are SO gay Grian really saw that old engagement jewelry and was like "break it break it breAK IT-" his first thought was really "hold up wait a minute just a sec wait Scar's around my age his ex whatever could still be around I don't Like That(tm)" lmao just wait until Cub actually shows up cough AND YEAH Mumbo was chill until he learned what it meant and then he just. "No" lmao

Writing Elven children is weird cuz you have to find that balance between "super formal society" and "children are children regardless" and just jgfdkl little Scar had my heart while writing <3 little Cub did too ofc just babies <3

[same birth month&year basically but close enough to same day for beings that live 700+ years <3 Elves are so long-lived that it's not UNusual to be born in the same year but definitely not the norm, but to be born in the same month is like. Very unusual <3] Have I mentioned that Scar can be so oblivious lmao BUT ALSO to be FAIR to him, he knows absolutely no one who has ever been in an arranged marriage, his cousins are between 5 and 200 years older (the King is his great great great grandfather lmao there's a lot of gens there and long lived species whoo) than him and only a handful of them are married to people they chose so poor thing literally looked at this situation like "Grandfather wouldn't invite just anyone to the Palace especially when he's so overprotective... I'm sure that doesn't mean anything for me specifically" lmao But like. For him it wouldn't have been that BAD if they had just TOLD him, because if he had known from the start he'd have seen it as him and Cub making the best of an unfair situation, but because he was never told until the engagement day every Moment(tm) between them felt like a LIE which </3 Hurts so bad- Also Scar being aware of the class difference I knew needed addressing at some point which is also why it's important that Cub made the first move, even though Cub was already aware that he would end up marrying Scar and Scar wasn't kfdsjlk

hgjkfdgjk precious children just trying to act like mature grown ups but at the end of the day they're still teenagers who have no clue what they're doing and share awkward nervous kisses <3

The fact that literally the only people who TRIED to stop him were the King, his mother and to a degree, Cub (though what was Cub going to say, I wonder...) even though the Court was full of their most immediate family? I mean. If that doesn't speak to something Scar hadn't noticed at the time- :) Cleo really had this little knobby teenager come to them with an engagement piece in his hair and break down about how his entire life has been a lie and everyone he thought loved him was just using him and said "This is not happening. Nope, not happening. Run, kid" Cleo is my absolute beloved <3 I love them. Now I wonder why Scar is so hesitant to meet up with them... :) Haha we definitely haven't seen the last of the Fae King. Unfortunately for Grian and Mumbo, if there is ever an OP character in this series, uh, it's definitely the Fae King. (Not OP enough to save Scar tho </3 rip) And meeting him might not be under the best circumstances... :) I wonder how that will be resolved, huh. I hope everyone understands Unreliable Narrator tag means Everything Is Not What It Seems while also not assuming it means the King isn't an ass at the same time

Yessssss <3 we love a good "no strings attached" love story <3 Just three guys who love each other very much and have no ulterior motives <3 HAHA yes <3 them just looking at each other like "ohh okay I see, this is good" jkgfdlkfdsk NOT A SLOW BURN GIRLIE how have you survived 90k+ words without a single Scar-Kiss <3 Did the accidental flirting and the bite tie you over my friend <3 hhhahjfd-

🖊 + Asher (I have a character named that too!)

Thank you for the ask, and for the chance to talk about Asher!

The main characters of my novel WIP "To Be Honest" are Micah the witch and River the changeling, but like most main leads they wouldn't have a story to tell if it wasn't for the other people in their lives. The werewolf Asher Path is one of these people, and he's a key figure in Micah's past.

For reasons that would take a separate worldbuilding post about witches and familiars and factions to explain, Asher was Micah's familiar when they were kids. They grew up together as close friends, alongside Micah's older brother David, until their preteen/early teen years. That's when an incident with Micah's magic tore them apart. It wasn't entirely Micah's fault, and it definitely wasn't Asher's, but it changed the lives of both brothers and the familiar who admired them forever. Specifically, it sent Asher into a panicked frenzy where he ran off into the woods and sent David on a spontaneous mission to follow him. Micah was left behind, blaming himself for two of the most important people in his life disappearing. He's in college, which is when the novel's actual plot takes place, when he finally discovers what happened to the werewolf and witch who went missing in his childhood.

It's a slight spoiler, but Asher did survive getting lost in the wilderness. He decided to abandon society after coming back to his senses, and has been living the life of a half-feral werewolf in (mostly) undisturbed forests ever since. He's made peace with some of what happened to him, but he does eventually track Micah down in search of some more meaningful closure. Mostly for himself, but also for the boy who was crying and calling his name as Asher jumped out a window and ran.

As for his personality, Asher has grown from an energetic kid with a love of logic puzzles to being a high-stamina hunter who will bribe anyone he comes across into playing a few games of chess with him. There are rumors that if you go to a certain forest at a certain time of year, you'll smell the best smoked meat and fresh berry pie you've ever known and it'll be the last thing you do before you're trapped in a week-long board game sleepover. Asher is a good host, too, kind and considerate; but if you try to get too close or ask invasive questions, he won't hesitate to deposit you beside a major road in your sleep so you can make your way out of his forest. Only those he considers pack members are an exception to this. Whether Micah ever earns this title back after what happened between them... well, that's a spoiler I can't give away.
