#so you can search them by name too if you're interested in one in particular

[sacchiri]

I recently bought the jp volumes of Hellsing along with the guidebook, and since I'm reading the series in its native language for the first time I might as well share some random things that stood out to me in no particular order.

This isn't meant to be an analysis of translation differences, I'm too lazy for that. Also it's been 12 years since I've watched the anime and read the low quality fan scans of the manga so some of these comments are just "Lol, forgot this was a thing"

Volume 1

... I really want to know who this guy is at the beginning, yelling at Alucard in overly familiar language to "Get your shit together!" and "You're the only one we can count on!!". We know from the style of speech that it's a dude, probably just some Hellsing rando, and maybe it's not all that strange since he has probably been working with the same soldiers for years--but it's still funny.

"I know, it's just so nice out :("

..The way "HELLSING Organization" is spelled out like this reminds me that apparently the name is supposed to be an acronym. No really.

...

God they're so silly.

Now that I think about it, the only thing Seras has done this chapter since being turned into a vampire is say "I'm sorry" over and over.... girl you got shot in the lung, why are you apologizing

Not a huge difference, but what Integra actually says here is "Leaving a corpse here for 20 years... You're a terrible person too, Father" and not "What were you thinking, Father?" as the Dark Horse translation suggests (note the lack of question mark in the raw version). I thought that might be of interest to some.

Something else I thought was interesting is the first line Alucard ever says to Integra, and how uncharacteristically polite he sounds.

O-kega wa gozaimasenka- That's two honorific 御's back to back! (He even said them in kanji, even Walter isn’t that straightlaced and he’s literally the butler.) This is also the only time Alucard uses this overly flowery gentlemanly language with her, and good thing too because it would be so annoying if he spent the whole manga ending his sentences with ~gozaimasu.

What I'm trying to get at is, after seeing this sentence in the Japanese version, I'm like 100% sure he actually heard her when she was mumbling to herself about hoping to find a knight in shining armor, and he was totally going the extra mile in playing into that role for their first encounter. Which is kind of sweet.

Lol they misspelled Alucard on the top left... or rather, they incorrectly spelled it right?

One would normally expect Alucard to be written アルカード, and indeed pixiv dict lists アーカード as a misspelling (the u sound is weak in Japanese, so it's easy to mishear arukādo as ākādo). Hirano was definitely aware of the correct spelling though, since he used it in the pilot chapter and in his old character sheets. It was only when the manga officially began that he switched to the アーカード spelling. I doubt it was because of copyright issues because there is already a long precedent of vampire characters named アルカード in various old manga, OVA, and games in Japan that have coexisted without issue (like this guy Hirano mentions in volume 1's afterword).

Most likely Hirano simply thought it looked better, or was a means of differentiating his character from the others somehow. It certainly makes life easier for Japanese fans searching for fanart since アーカード is only going to bring up Hellsing and not the Castlevania character.

Jan Valentine even pokes fun at the spelling discrepancy later in volume 2, but since there wasn't a good way of expressing this in English it was left untranslated.

(Speaking of spelling inconsistencies, there's a lot of minor details I'm noticing now, like half the time the furigana for 吸血鬼 is written バンパイア and the other half it's ヴァンパイア... anyway)

Um, just noticed literally everyone's wearing glasses What should I do

Hirano's habit of jotting random comments underneath his panels is one of the underrated perks of reading the manga

The Dark Horse translation almost makes it sound like she's looking forward to seeing this battle play out, while in the Japanese she simply sounds apprehensive. Almost as if she's worried about them? And she's going out on the field personally to make sure nothing bad happens? Aww

Ok this is a weird tangent, but I just noticed the scans of the Dark Horse version I've been looking at use a slightly larger image range than the Japanese version does. It was only noticeable when I got to this part:

The second image is what the Japanese version of the scan looks like and I can confirm that this is what it looks like in my physical volume as well. You shouldn't be seeing the messy borders of the inking on the bottom like that.

Manga manuscripts are set up so that there are a few millimeters of bleed border around each page. You're supposed to color and line all the way up to (4) while keeping in mind that printing and paper cutting may result in the image being trimmed up to (3).

Either Hirano didn't color his lines all the way to (4) (this man has been drawing manga for years but this is Hirano we're talking about so it's very possible), or Dark Horse didn't honor the original bleed borders of the manuscript. I'm kind of leaning towards the former since there was a Hellsing exhibit in Japan a few years back where you could look at Hirano's original manuscripts and there's one where you can clearly see that he spilled a mug of tea or coffee across the entire page

Anyway, it's weird, and I'm curious to see if someone that owns a physical copy in English can confirm whether theirs actually looks like that. It's volume 1, page 141.

Hello!

Just saw your post about prompts… 👀

If you’re interested, I’ve been dying for a very particular Buck/Bucky fic, where, during the interrogation scene, the officer has Gale brought in to try and get answers out of Buck ✨

Im a sucker for the extreme angsty stuff, but other than that, I’ll leave the prompt broad and up to your interpretation!

Thank you! ♥️

(This went more "two Steve McQueens fight a couple nazis" and less "oh god why must I watch you be hurt" but I hope you enjoy! Personally, I think Buck's likely the shithouse crazy one of them when it comes down to it, and Bucky just tags along when it happens.)

[cw: blood mention]

After several minutes of going back and forth, the interrogator questioning and Bucky replying over and over with his name, rank, and serial number, the interrogator pauses, then says, "Well, let us try something else."

Bucky expects the man to stand up and threaten him. Instead, he pushes a button on his desk. There's a buzzing outside the office.

Bucky expects guards and guns, maybe a fight. He keeps his seat even as the door opens, ready to spring up if needed but trying to hold himself in check.

There's two sets of footsteps, and then Bucky looks to his left where they stop.

It's a guard, all right. And next to him, still in his uniform, is Buck. He's bruised and busted, though not as badly as Bucky. He's standing at ease, like he's not shocked to see Bucky.

But Buck looks not shocked to people who don't know him a lot of the time. Bucky, though, he can read that face like his favorite book. And Buck's face is stoic, but there's mayhem in his eyes.

"John Egan," Buck says, and Bucky leans forward, ready to go, "What took you so long?"

"Well, I had to come back from London, you know," Bucky replies. "Told you you should have come with."

"Maybe next time I will," Buck says. He licks the corner of his mouth where there's a spot of blood. He looks at the interrogator. "I suppose I'm here for a reason."

The interrogator smiles thinly. He rests on his desk and waves at the guard, who takes two steps back.

Stupid, Bucky thinks. Absolutely and fantastically stupid.

"Major Egan is not being forthcoming," the interrogator says. "And you have also not been forthcoming, Major Cleven."

"Attaboy," Bucky says in his most obnoxious drawl. It makes the interrogator glare at him. Perfect.

"If you think showing me Egan's alive is going to be make me cooperate with you, you're wrong," Buck says, cool as you please. He scratches his wrist. The guard behind him doesn't even twitch. Bucky catches the way Buck's hand doesn't fully uncurl when he drops it to his side again.

"What he said," Bucky adds.

"You Americans and your confidence," the interrogator says, looking like he wants to spit. "Always so certain you can't be stopped."

Bucky shrugs and slouches further in his chair. He finishes his cigarette, stares at the interrogator, and flicks the butt to the floor. The man's nostrils flare. "Buck, when we're out of here, I'm taking you dancing."

"You can try," Buck says, and Bucky moves at the same moment Buck does, grabbing the interrogator by the throat and snatching the letter opener off of the desk. He stabs him through the jugular, holding him up as he bleeds all over his pristine uniform.

He lays the interrogator on the floor and glances at Bucky. The guard's down, too. His neck slashed clean across. There's a razor blade with fabric wrapped around the dull side next to him.

"How'd you get a razor blade?" Bucky asks as he takes the interrogator's gun and knife and searches through his pockets. He finds money and a gold watch.

"They made me scrub their bathrooms," Buck says. "I think it was meant to emasculate me. I found it in the wastebasket."

"They didn't search you?" Bucky asks. He walks to the door and presses his ear to it. There's no noise outside.

"They're undisciplined," Buck says. "Not lazy or dumb, but undisciplined."

Bucky reads between the lines. It won't be easy or simple to get out of here, but the men here won't be expecting a fight. "It's quiet out there," he says.

Buck walks up next to Bucky and hands him a box of ammunition. He tucks two folders into his jacket, then tucks another two into Bucky's. They all have a large stamp on the front that seems to imply importance. "Where's your sheepskin?"

"Traded it out," Bucky says. "You hated it."

Buck stares at him for a moment, then pulls him in and kisses him. "You ever fly without it again, I'll shoot you down myself."

Bucky kisses back. "I'm telling Marge you paused my heroic rescue to kiss me like a bad movie."

"I'm telling Marge you were dumb enough to get captured," Buck replies. He pulls Bucky into a quick hug that Bucky happily returns. "Ready?" Buck asks, holding up the knife he's stolen. His gun's tucked into his waistband so he can grab the doorknob.

Bucky stands behind him, the knife in his right, the gun in his left. The box of ammunition in his pocket makes him feel lucky. The sharp concentration and determination in Buck's eyes makes him feel sure. "Let's get the hell out of here."

Indie Xenofiction; Data Lion

"Data Lion is a short visual novel about a lion who gets a camera collar put on him by a group of scientists wanting to document his journey. It has choices, 2 love interests, and many alternate endings including bad ends (game overs)!

The idea was inspired by masterpieces like The Lion King and the manga/anime Kimba The White Lion."

Found this game while searching around on Itchio, the game is completely free to download and can be completed within just a few hours. It is described by the author as being unfinished in its current state, but I think it can be played through completely with a feeling of some satisfaction. Here is the link for those interested

More in depth review under the cut featuring spoilers. If you're looking to play I do recommend going in blind, it's fairly simple and the fun is really found in unlocking the CGs, which isn't too hard to do.

This is a short game that reminds me a lot of media I grew up with on dA back in the day, so it was very entertaining. I can definitely tell this takes a lot more inspiration from Kimba than it does TLK with a lot of its story concepts and overall character design. The game itself runs on a seven day cycle so it's fairly short.

I enjoyed the main character's design, he's an intersex, mostly maneless lion that you can name, though the default name that pops up is 'Lion McLionface' (your character was supposedly named via an Internet poll made by the scientists attaching your radio collar)

You're also able to choose your stats, as this game does have (extremely basic and limited) combat. For my playthrough I named the lion 'Lasaga' to be a bit silly and I dumped all my stats into strength.

I'm not really sure what the stats of Skill and Speed do for you. I completed the game by getting all the CGs and didn't encounter anything that was explicitly skill or speed required, perhaps it has a factor in combat that I'm unaware of.

You make a series of choices, some meaningful some not as most of them lead to the same exact events playing out. You can acquire the only pickable item, a thorn you can use in combat, in the game earlier on based on where you choose to make your home if you pick the Acacia Tree.

At some point a Safari Car will come by and observe you, if you make the right dialogue choices you can get some exposition on the setting you're in.

The animals in this particular section of Africa are apparently Bio-Engineered to have heightened, near human intelligence. The author of the game, Caveboy Tup has elaborated in a comment on the game's itchio page which I'll leave below;

This is definitely something that shows a lot of Kimba inspiration though it goes in a different direction that has some interesting implications. I would have been interested to see this explored in a more elaborate narrative.

The two love interests in this game are Jetsway and Rrred;

Their routes are very straight forward, I'd say you would have to really go out of your way to not pursue either of them, which makes it easy to pick and choose which one you 'romance', as it's also pretty bare bones in that regard too.

The one most advertised is definitely Rrred the lion who is featured more prominently on the game's page. He's not got a whole lot of depth, you have the choice to fight him or join up with him in a coalition immediately upon meeting him.

I do like the game's expression work, I find the animals emote in ways that are fun to look at and easy to read.

If you defeat him he will simply retreat and will show up again later to give some brief exposition on Jetsway's character.

Joining up with him starts his short route, which mostly consists of him scaring off crocodiles at the watering hole for you, which you are able to avoid without him regardless (The only time my character got a bad end was when I chose the wrong evasion option at this point in the story) The other portion is an encounter with a clan of hyenas that was pretty comedic, this got a good laugh out of me. It was the only time the game was particularly vulgar.

You escape the hyenas, as you are outnumbered no matter how high your strength stat is. The rest of the route is pretty uneventful, you travel together and it's implied there's some romantic interest between the two of you.

I will admit I found Rrred to be the less interesting of the two routes but I can see what appeal they were going for here.

The other route is Jetsway's which I found to have slightly more meat on its bones.

You meet Jetsway first in fact while looking for food but he only says that the radio collar you have on means you aren't one of his 'targets' before sprinting away.

Encountering him later finds him injured in the middle of the night after a fight.

There's more lore exposition with Jetsway regarding the largely left out bio-engineering aspect. He's some creature part of Glo's work that was created by them, it's specified he has some sort of Tech in his eye that isn't explained very much.

Poking around the dialogue options with him will give you the option of fighting him once he reveals he got these injuries fighting and killing lions, which explains why he specified you weren't a target earlier.

Upon defeating him, you can kill him here which I found interesting. But you can also choose to stay the night and nurse his wounds until he recovers.

You are given the option to walk him back home, and doing so will trigger an interaction between you two and Rrred, who calls Jetsway a murderer. Pushing Jetsway for more answers will only get you this in response.

There is no further elaboration on this plot point after this. I assume given the larger narrative that was mentioned by the creator that he's killing lions that are either human aggressive or resistant/unsuccessful in the Bio Engineering stuff. But that's only an educated guess.

Walking him home will after lead you to Utke town, where he says the humans will give him more medical treatment but that your character cannot stay.

You're able to stay the night, where you'll find Jetsway gone in the morning, but you are spotted by a Glo operative prior to this who takes this photo of you and Jetsway to 'share on the internet'.

After these two CG's, the final day is always the same. Your radio collar falls off on the seventh day and the scientists come to retrieve it. You have two options after this, to hide in wait to observe the humans at first, which will lead to you being tranquilized again while they retrieve your collar.

You can also attack the scientists, which will result in you ripping off the arm of one of them, the one named Saito.

They escape you after this, and leads to the final CG where Saito has been given a replacement prosthetic arm.

This concludes the game as currently published. I found it very charming to play and a nice way to spend part of an afternoon. It was definitely worth sharing since I haven't seen anyone discuss playing it or knowing it exists.

Prev | Next

The next day you feel empty inside. You woke up with Hoseok wrapped around you as usual and you have to pry him off so you can get up to use the bathroom. You still feel tired and wish to stay in bed all day and night but that's due to yesterday's events. From the woman you rescued to Jimin's confrontation. You're having a hard time finding the right emotions to feel right now because of that and you don't know what to do about it.

When you're done you slip into bed but Hoseok is too knocked out to realize that you're back so he doesn't pull you into him. You quietly grab your phone to see it's seven in the morning and it makes sense why he's still asleep. You take the time then to search a few news outlets to see if you can find anything on the woman you and Hoseok found yesterday. You type in whatever you can think of to type. From woman held hostage to Hoseok's name to see if there are any results and you do.

'Mystery Woman Rescued by Lord Hoseok'

You blink a few times before continuing the read.

'Shortly after 6:00 P.M. a woman (name kept confidential) was seen in the streets afflicted with wounds. In nothing but her undergarments she was found by Lord Hoseok of the Bangtan clan. He rushed and carried her to the hospital where she was treated and a story was weaved.

The woman was in captivity for over a year, she claims. The person responsible for this - her brother who used her for his twisted fantasies.'

You close your eyes for a moment as you take it all in.

The woman you found yesterday was held hostage by her brother? And you have an idea of what they mean by twisted fantasies. It makes you feel sick.

'In a brave attempt to escape the woman waited until her brother was not home to untie her straps with her teeth before she made a run for it.

When asked by police where the location she was held at is she directed them to a secluded log cabin where her brother was nowhere to be found.

A conference on the matter will be held at noon today where the suspect's identity will be revealed. All in the hopes of bringing him to justice.'

And to finalize the article it reads:

'Lord Hoseok has been contacted via email for an in depth look of his view of what happened but he has yet to respond back.'

You roll your eyes.

Getting Hoseok's point of view on this is just stupid to you. Sure people don't know what happened leading up to the woman's rescue. Only you and Hoseok knew but people don't actually care. They're just interested to know how their Lord managed to find and help the woman because in their eyes he's a celebrity of sorts and if there's one thing about celebrities it's that they aren't treated like every day people. They're just there to be gossiped about.

You pull out of the article and scroll down seeing similar counts of Hoseok being a rescuer. You continue to scroll until you see one particular title that makes you freeze.

'Lord Hoseok Spotted With a Potential Love Interest'

You hurriedly click on the link and you're brought to a page that makes you feel sick.

There are pictures of you and Hoseok together. Some with you both hand in hand. From shopping to enjoying a meal together. The most recent being you two at the movies together.

Your hands begin to shake as you scroll further down the page.

'Lord Hoseok has been seen with this woman shrouded in mystery on several occasions. Together they go on dates as seen by the public.'

What follows are tweets and comments from blogs about you and Hoseok. Some ranging from gleeful point of views and others in disinterest saying as long as the two of you were happy then that's all that matters. There are some comments though that have been made that shows they don't like the idea of you two together. From calling you a gold digger while others in a fit of jealousy call you ugly.

You bring your phone down onto your chest and bring up a hand to your forehead. Your eyes are squeezed shut as you will yourself not to cry.

This is one of the worst things to happen to you. People know about you. They know your face so when it's time for you to escape if you try and seek refuge from Hoseok - the same vampire who will more than likely come for you - who is to say anybody will be willing to help you?

You think back on how Namjoon and Taehyung acted when that one guy threw his drink at you. How Namjoon threatened him. Who's to say Hoseok will be any better. Will he demand and threaten others to give you up?

You bite your bottom lip to stifle the sobs that want to be released. You're feeling so overwhelmed. You just hope and wish things will get easier for you because you can't take it anymore.

Exiting out of the article you place your phone back down on your nightstand and get up to go to the bathroom to wipe your face and blow your nose.

You feel miserable and when you turn on the light you see how red your eyes are from crying.

"Fuck," you mumble before resting your arms and head on the cool counter top.

You needed to get it together before Hoseok wakes up and starts asking questions. It's the last thing you wanted right now because you think that if he does ask questions you just might snap and you know whenever you do show some anger and defiance towards him it ends badly.

After the incident last night you hardly talked to him. You were so frustrated that he controlled your mind and it showed. He would still try to talk to you and the longer you stayed silent the more irritated he became. The night quickly turned into an early bedtime for you so you didn't get to eat again. Hoseok was so upset with you that after he gave you your high he demanded you both go to bed early. You kept your back towards him and at first he didn't hold you but you recall when you were half asleep hearing him sigh and wrapping an arm around you. Now he's fast asleep while you're losing it in the bathroom.

You push your hair back before getting another tissue to clean up and turn off the light before leaving. Your steps are as quiet as can be as you make your way back to the bed. You slip beneath the sheets and before you can fully settle in Hoseok's arm wraps around you again.

"Where were you?" His question comes out soft and groggy.

You bring the covers up under your chin. "Bathroom." It's all you can say.

He hums and draws you in closer to his front. You're practically chest to chest with your head tucked into his neck.

After a moment of silence he speaks. "What time is it?"

"It's around seven."

He hums again before kissing your forehead. "Let's sleep some more."

You don't say anything in response but you close your eyes.

It takes you a little while to fall back to sleep. Hoseok is knocked out and you can feel the little puffs of air across your hair when he slightly snores. He's comfortable unlike you so you turn around and angle your pillow so that your head is resting on it but you're also hugging it.

You try not to think about the thoughts that have been plaguing you ever since you read those articles. All it's going to do is stress you out. You try your best but you're hit every now and again by those unpleasant thoughts. It hits you hard enough that you don't hit a deep sleep. It's very light so when you wake again you don't feel fully rested. If anything you feel worse but there's not much you can do about it.

You reach for your phone to check the time and you see it's 1:32 in the afternoon. You sigh as you place it back down and it seems like your movements have alerted Hoseok because he begins to stir before giving a loud yawn.

His hand comes to rest over your back where he scratches it lightly. The feeling sends goosebumps across your body but you say nothing as you come to rest more comfortably on the bed.

"Hey baby."

You turn your head towards him and grit your teeth. He seems to notice the way your jaw flexes beneath the skin because he eyes it and gives you an unreadable look.

"Are you still upset," he asks.

You look away towards the ceiling and it's answer enough for him.

He sighs and sits up and rests a hand on either side of your head so he can hover over you.

"Hey."

Your eyes shift to the side to avoid his face but he just leans over more so he can be in your line of sight.

"Don't be like this," he says.

"Don't be like this," you ask in an incredulous manner. "After what you did? After everything you have done to me?!"

A frown makes it's way across Hoseok's expression. "Don't start."

You push him back as you go to sit up but one of his arms moves so it can rest across your lap. He keeps you caged like this which leaves you feeling suffocated by his presence.

"How do you expect me to be calm after everything?" Your words leave you soft and exhausted.

Silence fills the air after your question.

You don't dare look his way but you know he's staring at you. It leaves you feeling nervous and you begin to pick the skin around your nails as anxiety starts to unfurl within you.

He doesn't seem like he wants to torture you any longer with how quiet he was being because he leans in and places a kiss onto your cheek.

"Everything I do I do for you. For us."

Your eyes slowly begin to water. You want to deny him but if there's one thing you've learned about your time with Hoseok it's that as much as he annoys you you're actually scared of him. He's not entirely delusional. He just expects you to follow along with him until you finally fall for him. Him controlling your mind last night when he knew what you were about to do - it goes to show that he knows you don't want him like that. That you'll jump at the chance of freedom if you could. He's just holding on to hope that you get it together for his sake.

How dangerous is that? To know that what you expect - what you want isn't a part of the norm. To think that by pushing on forward no matter what will ultimately grant him his desires. It doesn't help, you think, that you fall before him every time with just a kiss. You let him do to you what he wants for the high but you also know you're not fully consenting because you're not entirely yourself when the high hits. A tear escapes you at the thought followed by another one until they fall from you in droves.

You hiccup before you cry fully and end up curled in Hoseok's arms as he draws you in closer to him. His hand reaches for the back of your neck where he squeezes it in what he thinks is comfort. Either that or it's a sign of possession.

He runs his lips over the top of your head in soft kisses and all it does is make you cry more. How many times have you cried already because of him? How many times have you cried over changes in your life because of him? Him, him, him. It's always him. You don't know how much longer you can hold off on escaping. You're waiting for the right moment but what if it never comes? What will you do then? Namjoom is here but you can't exactly run into his arms because no one, especially not Hoseok, will accept you and Namjoon being a thing. Just thinking about it sends you into an even bigger fit and you can't stop crying.

Hoseok doesn't shush you gently like he normally would. He just holds you close until all that's left are little whimpers and sniffles. It takes you a few more minutes to calm down but by then you feel empty inside.

When he pulls back he cups your face with both his hands and angles you up to look at him. His eyes roam over your features with a small pout to his lips as he frowns before he leans in and places a kiss to your lips. Another one and then another one.

"Things will be easier if you just accept things as they are, Y/N." He brushes his lips across yours. "Just accept it."

Your eyes shut where a few stray tears leak from them to come down your face. When he releases you you open your eyes and watch as he gets up from bed and stretches.

Just like that. As if nothing had happened. He acts nonchalant as he starts his daily routine of getting things ready for a shower. Your eyes wander around aimlessly - too spent to care for anything or anyone before you. You just are. You exist. Miserably.

He's back and forth looking through his closet for clean pajamas and when he finds them he lies them out on the bed. But before he can head back to the bathroom he pauses and looks at you.

"Are you fine with staying in here or do you want to leave?"

He's giving you an option? Oh.

You shrug your shoulders.

Hoseok sighs before resting his hands on his hips.

"I need to know so I can get your clothes ready." Pause where he nibbles his bottom lip. "If you want after breakfast you can go to the library. If Namjoon is available."

Namjoon? You would like to see him but right now you're not in the mood so you shrug your shoulders again.

Hoseok sucks his teeth before grabbing the sets of pajamas he lied out and taking them back in the closet. All in exchange for clothes to wear outside but you note something. The shirt he pulls out doesn't belong to you. It's a slightly baggy black shirt and around the collar written in red is the word 'Yours.' You know it belongs to Hoseok and you know he's purposely making a statement with you wearing it but you're too empty to care right now. Otherwise you would have made a face and probably would have convinced him to let you wear something else. Now though you just let it happen because your need to fight at the moment is nonexistent.

You hear him call out for you and so with a deep sigh do you get up and head into the bathroom. He's already brushing his teeth and you follow suit with a sullen look that doesn't pass him by. He keeps an eye on you as you try to ignore him but you know your change in mood is affecting him in a way. It's making him more clingy when he pulls up behind you to hug you after you're done brushing your teeth. Even in the shower he holds you close as the water cascades down his back.

He leans his head down to kiss the juncture between your shoulder and neck where one of his many bites lies.

"I love you," he says. "I hope you know that."

You don't respond. Instead you reach for your loofah and begin to pour soap onto it.

You know Hoseok can tell you're ignoring him but he doesn't let up. He takes your loofah from you and lathers you up with gentle touches. You let him but when it comes to washing your private areas you put up a resistance. He's not unfamiliar with washing you there but when you're fully capable of doing it yourself you make it known with your actions. He doesn't fight you on it as he begins to lather himself up and from there you two focus on yourselves before you're done in the shower.

Getting ready after is quick and you wear the shirt he gives you acting like a leash you're sure because even when he's not around everyone will be able to smell and see him on you in so many ways.

Before anything else is done Hoseok walks up to you and cups your face so he can lean in and kiss you.

"Hey," he starts. "I have no problem leaving you in the library today with Namjoon." His thumbs caress your cheeks as he licks his lips. "Just... just stay close to him, okay?"

You know what he means by that. It means don't run away.

You give him a slow blink to which his face switches into one of worry. He licks his lips again before leaning in to kiss you. The kiss is long and hard and when it's time to pull back it's done in hesitancy. He stares at you for a minute more before he says "Okay" in a hushed voice.

Grabbing your hand he leads you both out of the room to the dining area to eat your breakfast. Some of his brothers are already there. Seokjin, Namjoon, and Jungkook. You're a little surprised by the appearance of the youngest as he normally doesn't come around this early into the day. He doesn't look the least bit tired and you don't know if it's because he had a good rest or if he pulled an all-nighter that hasn't hit him yet. Either way he's here.

Hoseok pulls out your seat like usual before his own is pulled out. No one says a word at first and you don't look either of the mens' way as your food is fetched. The silence is a bit awkward for you but thankfully Seokjin goes to fill it.

"So how are you two? We didn't see you late last night."

You tense a little but your face remains devoid of emotion. You wonder how Hoseok will answer this.

"Y/N was a little tired so we went to bed early."

You scoff internally because of course he'll lie.

"That's too bad." Seokjin says. "You missed quite the shit show last night."

Hoseok hums.

His brother sits up and takes a sip of his drink. "Yeah. Jimin had a few choice words directed towards me and Yoongi."

Namjoon clears his throat. "Jimin is just upset because of the punishment."

"Well if it's because of that then you have nothing to worry about." Hoseok says. "When we came home he snapped at Y/N."

A frown mars Namjoon's face. "Why?"

"He blames her for what happened between them."

Namjoon's frown grows deeper at this. "It's his fault for even starting it."

"You know Jimin has never taken the blame for anything that he does. Isn't that right Jungkook."

The brother in question shrugs his shoulders at Seokjin. "Jimin is Jimin," he says.

"Can we stop talking about this?" Your words leave you hushed.

You really wish everyone would stop talking about your situation with Jimin as if you weren't here. It just sours your mood even more.

"My apologies, Y/N." Seokjin doesn't sound the least bit sorry. "We'll discuss this another time."

"Sorry Y/N."

Your attention is drawn to Namjoon who gives you an apologetic look. You don't give him a smile or anything and to that his features turn to one of worry.

Your food is brought out and placed before you. You half-heartedly use your fork and knife to cut the pieces apart. You could care less for food right now but you eat to sustain yourself. No longer because you enjoy it but because you need it. It catches Hoseok's attention and he places a hand over your thigh where he squeezes it for a moment before rubbing it. It doesn't bring you peace so you pull your leg away from him.

His hand slips away before he clears his throat and goes back to his breakfast.

The air is filled with chatter again but thankfully it's not about you. Seokjin seems to always have something to talk about. Whether it be casual talk or gossip. Especially gossip.

"Did you know you know who did this?"

"Did you know you know who did what?"

He speaks on endlessly especially if it's at the expense of others. His brothers are as much of a victim to his talk as much as a stranger is and they just let it happen because that's just who he is and that's just who they are. You don't think you could ever get used to that.

"So," Hoseok starts up as the conversation dies down. "Namjoon are you busy today?"

The man in question hums. "I do have something to do but if you need me I can put it to the side for today."

"Oh I was just asking because of Y/N."

Namjoon looks at you and raises his brows. "Do you want to go to the library today?"

You look at him and back at your food you're hardly eating. When you do this you miss the pleading eyes Hoseok shoots his brother's way. Namjoon catches it and nods to himself.

"We can go to the library, Y/N. If you want we can go after you're done eating."

"I'm not hungry," you mumble.

"Then would you like to go now?"

You shrug your shoulders.

No one tries to make you eat your food nor do they say anything about how distant you are but you're sure Seokjin will talk about it the moment you leave.

"Well," Namjoon says. "Let's go then."

He stands up and waits for you at the door but before you can follow him a hand stops you. Hoseok looks at you and he looks worried.

"Hey," he says. "I'll see you later, yeah?"

You only nod before he leans in for a kiss. You try to pull away but he holds you by the back of your neck. It makes you grimace and out of breath until finally he releases you. You're quick to stand up then and step out of the dining room with Namjoon on your tail.

The tall vampire doesn't say anything to you as you make your way to the library. He doesn't touch you either. He just trails behind you until you reach the room and sits in his usual spot as do you. He purses his lips before sucking his teeth a few times.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

You look up at him and shrug. "It's nothing."

Namjoon raises his brow. "If it were nothing you wouldn't look as gloom as you do now." He reaches his hand out. "Talk to me, princess."

You stare at his hand for a few seconds before you go to grab it. His fingers close around you and he holds you tight. The feeling of being grounded to something - someone makes you realize that you're not as alone as you feel and tears start to spring in your eyes.

"Hey. Hey it's okay." Namjoon stands up so he can come around and kneel next to you. "Talk to me. It's okay."

You sniffle and look down at your conjoined hands. When you take a deep breath in it's followed by a sob you're trying to keep in.

"I don't know if I can keep doing this."

Namjoon squeezes your hand. "Do what?"

Your other hand comes up to press against your forehead as you lean your elbow onto the table. "Hoseok," you whisper. "I don't know how much longer I can deal with him. I just - I don't want to be around him anymore. I want to..." You stop yourself before you can say more.

"Do you... do you want to run away?"

He's asked you this question before. You were hesitant at first. You still feel hesitant but you feel like you can open up to Namjoon more than you could before so you bite your bottom lip and give a single nod.

Namjoon sighs before bringing your hand up to his lips where he kisses it.

"I'm sorry," you cry.

"No no. Don't be. If anyone should be apologizing it's me."

You frown. "This is Hoseok's fault. Not yours."

"I know but he's my brother. Maybe if we had nurtured his problems a little less you wouldn't be feeling what you're feeling now." A pause. "You probably wouldn't be here either."

Your eyes draw up to him as a tear escapes. "I wouldn't have met you."

"I know but you wouldn't be as miserable which is the most important part of all."

There's a silence that fills the air now as Namjoon comforts you. It takes you a couple of minutes to calm down but he's with you every step of the way. His one hand holding yours while his other wipes away your tears.

"Do you need a tissue," he asks.

You nod your head.

He kisses your hand before standing up. "I'll be right back."

Releasing your hand he goes to leave the library and leaves you alone to stew in your thoughts.

Was it a mistake to let Namjoon know you wanted to escape? You're not sure now. He did his best to comfort you and you appreciate it.

It's true that you wouldn't have met him if things between you and Hoseok were different. You would have preferred that but a small part of you is happy to be here because of Namjoon alone. He's made you feel things you never thought you would. You always thought you'd forever be alone with nothing but your work to keep you company, but he's made you feel and believe otherwise. You're thankful for Namjoon. You really truly are.

After a few more minutes Namjoon returns with a tissue box he places before you. You go to grab a few to wipe your eyes and nose as the vampire pushes your hair back from your face.

"Feel better after letting everything out?"

You look up at him and nod.

He smiles at this before bringing you into a hug. Your face is pressed against his stomach as you wrap your arms around his waist. Being close to him like this brings you comfort and so you hum in content.

When he pulls back he looks down at you with both his hands cupping your face. You smile at him and he smiles back.

"There we go," he says. "That's better."

Your smile grows wider and to this he chuckles.

"I like it when you smile."

Warmth spreads across your face and ears. He leaves you speechless but it doesn't stop him from complimenting you.

"You're really beautiful you know that?"

You look away from him but he's not having it.

"Hey. I'm serious. You're beautiful."

With hesitant lips you talk back. "You are too."

Namjoon smiles and leans down to kiss your forehead.

"So. Is there something you want to do today?"

You take in a deep breath before releasing it into a sigh. "Can you read to me?"

"Of course."

"But," you start. "Can we go somewhere more private?"

His brow raises in question. "Where would you like to go?"

You don't want to be locked up in here where Hoseok can easily find you. You want to be somewhere where you and Namjoon can be free with one another.

"Can we go to the gazebo?"

His other brow joins the one he kept perked up. "Yeah. Yeah of course we can do that."

You give him a grateful smile.

"Let me just get the book we left off at reading."

"Okay."

And he's quick to get it. Afterwards you follow him out to the garden and into the maze. His one hand holds the book while the other rests on your lower back. It feels like it's been forever since you were last in this maze. You don't remember the way through but Namjoon remembers well. He is in no rush as be guides you and you're quick to reach the gazebo where you sit on the cushioned bench and him by your side.

"Comfy," he asks.

You nod.

"Good." He begins to flip through the pages until he finds where it is that you left off. "We'll start off here then." He points to the text.

His deep voice lures you in and you can freely imagine the characters in the book interact as they do. At some point you rest your head on his shoulder and he pauses. Without a word he angles his body where he can rest his back against the gazebo and maneuvers you so you can rest your back against his chest and can follow along with his reading as you gaze at the text.

It's comfortable like this. After starting off having a shitty day Namjoon like a hero swoops in and makes things better for you. Even if it's only temporary you enjoy yourself.

You close your eyes and take in your surrounding through smells like the garden around you and Namjoon's soft scent. Your ears perk up here and there as Namjoon speaks and feel the cool breeze that you're thankful for in this Summer heat. Here and now you can imagine it's just you and Namjoon. Nothing to ruin your day. No one to ruin what you have now. It's nothing but peace and when you least expect it you start to doze off. Namjoon seems to realize this from the sound of your breathing and your heart beat begins to settle for a softer pattern and so he chuckles. The sound startles you a little and you look up at him with a questioning hum.

"You're falling asleep on me," he says.

"Sorry." You burrow your face closer to his neck. "I just feel so calm out here with you."

"Yeah?"

You nod your head.

Namjoon hums. "You know what will make this better?"

"What?"

He places the book to the side and grabs your chin so he can angle your face towards his own.

"Kiss me."

Without hesitation you lean in and he meets you halfway.

You're absorbed by the feel of his plush soft lips while his hand that held onto your chin moves up to cup your cheek. Your lips move in tandem and you feel so free like this. Engulfed by everything and anything that is Namjoon and you feel the need to have more of him.

Your tongue peeks out to run across the seam of his lips. He pauses and breaks your kiss apart so he can lean his forehead against your own. You try to press your lips against him again but he pulls back.

"What's wrong," you ask.

His eyes are closed as he takes deep even breaths.

"You know if you kiss me like that you're going to feel the high."

He was right but you shake your head.

"I don't care."

He chuckles. "I won't be able to control myself afterwards."

"I don't care," you say again.

His eyes open. "Say that again and I'll do whatever I want to you."

His thumb rubs against your lips where you nip the tip of it.

"I don't care."

Namjoon gives you one last long look before he kisses you fiercely and you react in an instant.

You wrap your arms around his shoulders as he leans you back onto the bench. Your lips part as do his and immediately you feel the high once his tongue meets yours. You whimper in his hold to which he growls something possessive. It sends goosebumps all along your body.

Your legs come up to wrap around his hips where settles between them. He keeps a bent leg angled towards the floor because he's too large to fit both of you like this on the bench and just the idea of that makes you moan into his mouth.

Namjoon pulls back to look at you as your eyes glaze over due to the high. You look thoroughly fucked and he hasn't even done anything else to you yet.

"Look at you," he says. "Do you want more?"

You whimper. "Yes."

He leans forward to lick a vertical stripe over your lips before shoving his tongue into your awaiting mouth.

You feel bliss and you want more. You never thought you'd be able to experience this without Hoseok and now that you can - knowing you're experiencing this with someone you like - it's sending you to orbit. Even more so when you feel something hard press into your stomach.

Namjoon pulls back again to watch you as you writhe beneath him. He kisses your cheek and he decides he'll wait for you to come down to talk to you again.

The high feels so good and washes over you in waves of pleasure. You feel like you're on top of the world and you can't have enough of it. When you do start to wind down you sigh and blink a few times as the hold Namjoon's saliva had over you starts to dissipate. It's a shame to have to come down but when you do you give Namjoon a smile. One that he mimics adoringly.

"You good," he asks.

"Yeah. Yeah I'm good."

He pecks your lips before resting his head into the crook of your neck. You hold him close and wiggle a little underneath him to which he groans.

You freeze. "Are you okay?"

He hums. "Yeah just..." he pauses and adjusts himself through his pants. "You got me a little worked up there."

Your face heats up as you bite your bottom lip. "Do you want me to help you with that?"

"Fuck Y/N you can't just say things like that." Namjoon groans.

"Why not?"

"You have no idea how badly I want you to help me with it but now is not the time."

You pout and when he looks at your face he makes a sound that's a cross between another groan and a moan.

"If Hoseok has an issue with you smelling like me as is can you imagine how he'll feel if I were deep inside of you?"

The idea of that brings a kind of pleasure to you and when you least expect it arousal pools out of you and you know he can smell it because he curses under his breath.

"You're going to be the death of me."

You giggle. "What happened to you saying you'll do whatever you want to me?"

His brow raises. "You're being a bad girl, princess."

Your hips buck up into his. "I like it when you call me that."

"Fuck." He rests his head on your shoulder. "Keep up with that and I'm taking you up to my room and finishing this off."

"Would that be so bad?"

He laughs. "Oh you're a really bad girl."

You join in with his laughter.

"But seriously." He pulls back. "We shouldn't right now. Hoseok is too close to do anything else. It's already bad enough that you smell like me. Now you're going to have to change your underwear because of how divine you smell right now."

You bite your lip and hum. "I should probably wash up a little, I guess."

"And brush your teeth too otherwise he'll really know we've been up to something."

The thought brings a frown to your face but you understand him. So when he lifts himself off of you you stand up with a stretch.

"Will you come with me," you ask.

"If that's what you want."

You nod and he smiles.

"Then let's head back inside." He stands up with the book in hand and places a hand on your lower back as he leads you two out of the maze once again.

The two of you are quick to sneak off towards Hoseok's room. None of the maids acknowledge you two but it makes you a little paranoid that they'll talk about how close you and Namjoon are. You try to ignore it as you're about to slip into the room but you stop when Namjoon doesn't follow you.

"Aren't you coming in?"

"I can't," he says. "If Hoseok smells me in his room he'll be suspicious."

He's not wrong so you try not to pout as you step inside.

You're quick to undo your shoes and pants so you can slip off your underwear. You throw them into the hamper and grab a fresh new pair. You hope Hoseok won't notice. Just to be sure you put on a pair that is the same exact shade as the one from before before slipping your clothes back on.

The next thing you do is brush your teeth. With how possessive Hoseok can get you know you have to be careful. You wish you didn't have to do this even thougn it's for precautionary reasons.

If you want to keep seeing Namjoon you know you have to do this.

Once you're done you leave the room to find Namjoon leant back against the neighboring wall looking down at the back cover of the book. When he sees that you're out he smiles and stands up straight.

"Ready?"

You nod. "Yeah. Do I smell different?"

He mimics your nod with one of his own. "Sha'll we head back to the library?"

You frown. "What about the gazebo?"

Namjoon walks over to you and leans down to your ear. "If we're in a secluded area like that again I just might take you right then and there."

Your heart skips a beat and he notices it because he smirks.

"Let's head back then," he says.

You listen to him but try your best to keep the thoughts of him having you from clouding your mind lest you have to change your underwear again.

You have to admit that you are a bit worried about Hoseok finding out about you and Namjoon. You can't imagine what he'll do to you if he were ever to find out. In all honesty you're playing with fire, but despite the danger you can't help yourself. Being with Namjoon has really upped your mood. Just earlier you were shut down and distant. After crying it out with Namjoon and having him stay with you these past couple of minutes you felt better. You recall admitting to him about you wanting to run away but he hasn't judged you about it. If anything he's just grown more disappointed in Hoseok rather than you. It warms your heart but you know being careful is the number one thing you should be worried about because if it all goes to shit seeing Namjoon again would be the last thing Hoseok would allow you to do. It scares you a little bit but you know you can do this. If Namjoon can keep it together so can you and so you will. Even if it's the last thing you'll ever do.

VA x Reader? 👀 ay yo I’m looking especially knowing how he is like-? Oh goodness that’s a treat- 👀

Mmm I've been thinking about it for a while. VA is one of the characters I really want to know more about (and hoping he gets a role in HSR too). He's just so intriguing...Lots of non canon-compliant bits here, just something I had in mind for him haha (Using He/Him for Void Archives here!)

Void Archives ends up in the Herta Space Station, alone. There wasn't anywhere in particular he wanted to go, and the Space Station seems to be a good place to start. There's a ton of information that can be of use to him, relics and items with special powers, and a lot of research papers. It helped that the staff here all had a tendency to leave their notes and papers out in the open for just anyone to read it, aiding him further in his exploration. The term 'Honkai' wasn't applied anywhere, but there were mentions of a Stellaron and Aeons and...well, Void Archives could connect the dots.

(There was the question of the Herrscher's whereabouts, but he supposed the two of them would meet again, somehow.)

And then he meets you.

You're a researcher, though not held in nearly as high regards as your colleagues, with a particular interest in the Stellaron and the harm it brought. What you searched for was answers; a reason for the sudden spread, how it all started, and so on. VA steals your notes and drafts often, sharing your curiosity in the phenomenon, and looks over them carefully. Well-written, and detailed, accompanied by various, and at times, outlandish, theories. But from his own experience, even the most far-fetched possibilities weren't impossible.

He tells himself that your research, and by association, you, would be helpful, and that was the only reason why he was constantly near your desk. That's also why, when he sees you look particularly dejected after yet another failed report, he leaves you a can of your favorite drink on your desk. It's not because he can sympathize with your fervent devotion to your mission, or with your desire to stop staying in the shadows of others. It's only because it's in his best interests that you stay motivated and continue working on your research, so you can supply him with the information (and entertainment) he needs.

One day, you happen to catch him looking through your papers, and...you take it surprisingly well. He was muttering to himself something about your mention of aliens, and you immediately rushed over and launched into your understanding of alien species and their role in the disasters. You were foolish, he thinks, but oddly endearing. Maybe you thought he was a researcher, or maybe...he watches you go on about the Fragmentum and common identification signs with poorly contained excitement—maybe you were just happy that someone was interested in your work. A lot of your words don't make sense to him at the speed you're going, but he listens all the same—He's become quite good at that, after all the centuries. He finds it quite odd that just his presence by your desk has invigorated you to such an extent. He wonders how pathetic of a state you have to be in to end up like this, how desperate you must have been. It wasn't like Stellaron research was unpopular, it was just your ideas that weren't very well received. Such a shame too, your efforts were admirable, and your heart was in the right place, even if your ideas were a little unconventional.

But he doesn't particularly mind the company. He doesn't mind when you sit beside him after a long day, a string of complains ready to go (He acts disinterested, but he is listening. He thinks you keep coming back because you know this, too), or when you drag him to a window and name all the stars you know (He asks himself why he's never done this before; because he had never known to, or because he never cared to?), or even when you ask him for his opinions on your theories and reports (And what is he supposed to say? Tell you about the Honkai and the Sky People, and of his life so far, to assure you that nothing is too absurd to be real?). He finds that being beside someone after all this time, especially with someone who expected nothing from him and knew nothing of him, was...unexpectedly nice. It was something he could see himself getting used to, though he knew he shouldn't. There was a hundred other things he could be doing right now, and loitering with a nobody researcher was hardly on the list.

One more day, he tells himself. But he's been saying that for a little too long already.

Pale (arc 2)

this is my liveblog post arc 2 thoughts and rambles! I took longer to read this arc (alas. IRL things meant i took a break in the middle), so thoughts are more scattered. Hopefully I get through Arc 3 faster? Tucking it under the cut for length, Spoiler warning!

this arc was fun!! the faerie are FANTASTIC and i love the traps. I think the whole... pulling strings to lure the story in a direction that you find interesting. All of that is SOOO fascinating to me because yes! Otherverse magic system is STRUCTURED around this... kind of half meta way of magic working. The Spirits make things stronger when they're narratively significant. Three is a powerful number and makes things STICK. If you break your oaths after you've sworn that the spirits can trust you (Awakening) then the story isn't fun anymore, and you're forsworn. Symbolism implies things both in a Narrative sense AND in an Other sense. I'm having fun :D

I like how much the Kennet trio feel like teenagers. The awkward dancing around romance and relationships sticks out to me in particular. Very 13 year old and very cute!! Their dynamics with the other kids in their grade are really interesting; I like how they have history with them. Mentioning Gabe only to have no one recognize his name is SO fun too. It separates them from their Innocent friends. I wonder how this will get worse as the story progresses? As Avery, Verona, and Lucy get more involved on the Other side of things, they'll leave the Innocent side of things behind... That division is present in Lucy's family relationships too.

Lucy's struggles are REALLY interesting. I like the layers. A bit of the way she talks makes me feel... I guess she feels very firm in her convictions. In Justice, in an Eye for an Eye, almost. Maybe not quite that extreme because. She's 13. but it's there!

Verona wanting to become an Other... Searching for an escape from the life that she's expected to live. Leaving the mundanity of ordinary life to experience something more interesting. Reading her thoughts on it during the Cat chapter was kind of bittersweet? She doesn't want to grow up or change. She'd rather have sleepovers forever.

Victor of the hungry Choir! Victor of the Hungry Choir! I have nothing to say here, I'm just really excited.

SNOWDROP. I've seen that little critter around and i love her,, I would die for her.

Interlude chapter was FASCINATING. GOD I love how the interludes so far are pushing things forward, giving insights and outsider POVs of the girls! It's so so cool!! I love how the Augurs don't know what's going on with the Kennet Trio, too. Very Very fun to Know things that the characters don't, and seeing them try to puzzle it out was fun. Nicolette doesn't know how to handle this at all! I love how fleshed out her life is too-- A lot of really fun worldbuilding details. This is typical of Wildbow's writing, but I love how many moving pieces there are.

Alexander.. This is the Augur who got Charles forsworn, right? (no need to confirm/deny this, i'm just thinking out loud).

anyways! Yeah. Pale is fun <3

#aria reads pale #pale web serial #Arc 2 – Stolen Away #aria rambles #wildbow #otherverse #paleblr #i want to make an otherverse au now #i love playing with worldbuilding ehehe <3 #<- sane and normal magic system enjoyer things to say #not gonna proof this i'm just posting it #this is for fun anyways lol #as always. please do not spoil me i am just a little critter #if i get names wrong it's bc im bad at names :pensive: #also you guys REALLY liked the doodles #damn #hi pale fans #i would like to interact more in the wildbow-fan space #but i am a little scared #is there like. a discord or something

AWEEE YAY I WAS HOPING THAT WOULD BE THE GUITARIST :)))) as always, can we know some more ab him :0

yayayay!!! aaaahhh! i'm so glad you're stoked. i tried not to be too obvious with the hints and give you guys just enough information to put the pieces together, whilist also kinda keeping you in the dark.

but now that that information has come to light:

i would Love to talk a little more about the ex-cd guitarist

— aka my son, ofc. xx

it's down in the crotch.

( what i'm calling the readmore now, smh )

so scott ( who i think is not white? i wanted to free raven from ringleading all the little white boys...i do kinda want to canonize androgynous asian panderverse kenny so that might happen...it does make sense that jimmy be our token white presumed straight boy...but anyways ) is half black, i have decided, and still has all his little freckles. i was obsessed with this site model man and i had no choice but to ravenstan him.

he is not from south park, same as the other cd boys.

however, unlike all the cd boys, scott was not a musician/had no interest in music. the reason that scott was even aquainted with the cd boys at all, is because during part 3, side a of the rm!flashbacks before the boys got famous and were living in their rundown ramshackle rat-infested ass LA afartment from hell, ravenstan and kenny were looking for roomates…

…and Bandmates in particular.

they put up the world's worst craigslist ad ( like when i tell you it was like a glittery blingee thing w/ like ass and titties all over it and dollar signs...kenny said graphic design is my passion & ran w/ it crying lol )

anYWAYS! they recruited jimmy like that, who was doing stand up comedy, but also went crazy stupid on the drums...they were skeptical of his skills bc of his disability ( boo! ) & IMMEDIATELY GOT HUMBLED!!! they were like You Are In The Band My Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

( welcome to...a precd band name like Missed Universe )

after jimmy they had one more room and one more slot open, so they were searching, reviewing roomate candidates who were...Sooo Weird. like oh my god all of them were FREAKS, like, thats what you get, boys!!! for posting that boof ass apartment listing on craigslist!

...but at the very last moment, like a beautiful gift from the heavens above, scott malkinson was dropped on their doorstep, adjusting his big sweater and jeans, holding his textbooks and our hearts, lmao.

but no, he could not play guitar/wasn't a musician, he said, he was just a pre-med student at like ( stanford? usc? somethin like that ) and his scholarship did not cover room/board so he was majorly fucked becuase housing was so expensive tht he basically begged kenny, stan, jimmy to let him live with them & not b in the band.

which? was Fine, tbh.

ravenstan could absolutely shred on guitar bc his mom taught him ( sharon we miss u ) while singing, and with jimjamboree on drums ft. kenny on bass...they didn't really need another band mate...persay. they Did, however, need that four-way rent split because trying to cover their rent three ways when they all had really whack jobs to try and make ends meet...and scott ( who, granted was kind of awkward and weird ) was still the least weird candidate they'd gotten, he seemed consistent/reliable, was quiet, not messy, did his thing...

plus...ravenstan took a shine to him bc he had all the kyle freckles, the curly hair, was kind of tall, very studious and had diabetes, so he was like Absolutely! Welcome To Bro Haus, Compadre <3

but yes, moving on! with scott moving in <3 like i said, he kind of did his own thing. he was cordial-ish and all? but very quiet. would just come home from the OR looking exhausted and stressed and just immediately holed up in his room to read and shit. i also think he has super mega autism so his social interactions were really weird?

w/o him meaning to be? not in an aggressive kyle way, but in an embarassing, nerdy, deeply cringey way. scott just...was Not Cool. which granted, ravenstan is not cool, but his charisma is very natural and he's super personable and bubbly, he is also v confident when he drinks/enjoys having fun. scott is more like distant, skittish, strange.

all the pre-cd boys minus scott hanging in the living room, crushing beer and takis on their nasty boy couch from hell, w/ kenny nodding towards scotts room like...any1 else get serial killer vibes from him?

jimmy being like not unless you mean cereal killer ba dum tss! ( dead silence so jimmy is like ) yeah no dw he didn't laugh at that one either fml maybe hes the n-n-narc ( pre!cd jimmy's goal in life was to get scott to laugh bc he literally has not laughed )

and ravenstan was like be nice u guys!! :( i think he's nice hes just a lil weird yknow? mayb he just needs friends <3

and when scott comes home shuffling his papers and looking like a deer in headlights trying not to look at anyone ravenstan is like !!!

scott come hang with us on the couch we ordered way too much pizza and we need help finishing it...we also need help finishing this massive handle of vodka <3 come sit pecas :') <333

( side bar: raven does give everyone lil spanish pet names bc he loves them :* but jimmy and kenny are like thank u bestie idk what u said to me but kiss me lmao, scott tho!!! can Speak Spanish so ravenstan gives scott the chisme all the time oh my godddd j&k are like!!! boo wtf are u guys talking abt are u talkin Smack?! and scott and stan are like idk! ¡aprendan, boys! besitos xx )

BUT LIKE I WAS SAAAAAAYIN!!!

scotts like uh idk *nerd sounds* i'm not really sure abt that...i have a midterm but...yknow...he's never had friends before...so he sits down.

and at first he's not vibing bc he is a Straight And Narrow ( which is funny bc pre!cd early on scott was super closeted kinsey scale 6 gay and also was super religious because he lived with his grandma )

he also is kinda convinced all the cd boys are satan worshipers ( tru ) does not really fuck with their loud ass music bc he thinks its sinful even tho...hes kinda tappin his toe a little...he's just like scared to break into that world and break out of his bubble.

but you know, the boys chill with scott, ask him abt school stuff. theyre trying to be sweet to him even tho he is...the most uncool person ever but its ok bc they are all misfit boys. scott also does not drink ever, but then he's talking abt school and gets stressed so he's like what the hell? i'll have One Shot...i guess.

aND SCOTT IS A MEGA LIGHTWEIGHT AND HAS NEVER DRANK BEFORE WHEN TELL YOU MY MAN WAS ROOOOLLLING!!! he was being so fucking funny oh my god they were like SCOTT SCOTT SCOTT SCOTT!!! having him call out the fancy medical terms for parts of the body while doing body shots…OFF ALL DIFF PARTS OF KENNY STAN & JIMMYS BODIES?!

legendary moment...they were Obsessed w/ him.

he was super hungover after that and failed his midterm...but he had Friends :) and scott went from the weird lil guy living with them to Their Weird Little Guy. scott was their freakin BOY dude. I'm :(

he truly kept order in their shitty apartment, helped them figure out gigs and stuff...he was a little type a like jersey kyle, but way nicer, way less pushy and was mostly concerned abt being helpful. which wa a lot to do while he was doing hard ass med school shit, but he did it because he loved the boys n brought his textbooks & hw to their gigs...also like jersey but didn't heckle them :)

so eventually scott got ~Sindoctrinated~ into being bros with the cd boys ( he also denounced the catholic church and begun to come to terms with his sexuality...im love u, scotty ) BUT ALSO THE BAND!

because they were like scott, you gotta take the edge off dude!!! you should join the band!! you're like basically a part of it because ur like the super diabetic nerd boy glue that binds us together? please? xx

and scott was like omg idk guys i cant play an instrument!!! and mega schwasted ravenstan was like ;))) i will teach you; its easy <3

it was nAUGHT easy but also, ravenstan is lovely and very paitent, scott bc he's a super focused student, picked it up fairly quickly and in no time...

…he was Rockin and Rollin. ;)

OKAY THERES TOTALLY MORE BUT THIS POST IS LONG!!! that's some basic info on scott. an important part 3, side b distinction:

everyone...this is scott, who i would die for. <3

...and this is THOT!!! THIS IS THOT FUCKING MALKINSON WHO I DO NOT CLAIM!!! YES HE LOOKS GOOD BUT THATS NOT MY SON!

THOT FOULKINSON!!! >:////

anyways...that is all <3

ssiiiiiikeee!!!

-uncle nina, scott enthusiast

[444names]

Hello hi sweetie pie worldbuilder

This blog is dedicated to the markov namegen name stashes.

You can use names generated for free and for any purpose!

Each post contains 444 names, sometimes 888 (because I add an alternative version of the list with different generation rules out of the same seed/input) or <444 (because the site couldn't combine enough names). This number is chosen for no particular reason.

You can suggest seeds/source material for new name stashes in personal messages, comments, or the ask box.

Note that all names presented are randomly generated, thus I do not carry any responsibility if any of them sound bad, carry rude or explicit meaning in some and any language (you gotta check it yourself before you use it, okay?) and if any of them match already existing real or fictional people names, or are just words. If you want to, get to know how the Markov generator works.

You can easily browse the names using this link. Just go there and press "Ctrl+f" or "Ctrl+g" which will activate a search on page pop-up menu in your browser, then just find anything your heart desires.

There exists an add-on blog, sprout of this one dedicated to some particular seeds/inputs, and perhaps tutorials on how to do your own stashes if you want to: @444namesplus.

The following segment is a newsboard of sorts:

Someone asked me why my blog has a map for a profile icon. Think about it. Billions of places, billions of people and all have a name or even several. I think it's just poetic

Again, I don't separate names by gender because 1) too much work and 2) it's up to you if some name sounds feminine or masculine. Same with pronunciation.

Not so long ago we hit 1 000 stashes. Dasalot of Names, let's keep going.

Really losing interest in this blog lately. Hope I don't stop posting completely because I like doing stuff on here.

At some point in mid-September 2023 I've changed the formatting of the posts in an attempt to attract more followers. Older posts will remain as they are, while all new ones will be done the way they are right now with a possibility of me dropping the idea sometime in the future.

Before you accuse me of using AI, learn what Markov chains are because that's what I am using to make the stashes. The link is right there above. I'm so fucking tired of people with 0 reading comprehension accusing me of using something I avidly hate.

If you followed this blog and you're new around, PLEASE let me know if you enjoy the content* *(I cannot really call it "art" since I am just operating a program generating the names by feeding it datasets from various sources I filter and format to be read correctly) Send an ask, say a couple warm words, you can also ask for a series of stashes on some specific theme like "cities in Florida", "Warrior Cats character names" or "Pirates of the Caribbean actors cast".

╰┈➤ ❝ Persona & Velvet Room ❞

┊ ➶ ｡˚ ° One-Shot

┊ ➶ ｡˚ ° Linked Universe x Wildcard!Reader

┊ ➶ ｡˚ ° Note: Long! First part is introduction on Velvet Room then the second part there's a bit of the chain. This part mostly concentrate about the Reader and some info!

»»-----------►

A blue wake drifts in the darkness. You open your eyes and see a butterfly, uncannily blue, it posed itself on a lamp.

"Welcome to the Velvet Room."

A voice echoed along with laughter in the room from nowhere made you flinch and search for it.

"My name is Igor… I am delighted to make your acquaintance." The voice introduced itself… It was a very familiar name and a familiar line too.

"You already know that this place exists between dreams and reality, mind and matter… And you who signed the contract can enter this place… Welcome to your velvet room."

You know it very well but you let the voice continue not being able to understand the whole situation... But why is that you're only able to hear a voice...?

"Even if you're still unable to see what lies in front of you, the longing in your heart remains…

"…What longing you ask…? Hmmm...

A little light shall mark the beginning of the answer of your doubts."

…light? Your gaze fell on the butterfly on the lamp. Slowly and carefully you approach it. The butterfly gently burns off blue and with a touch of your fingertips it dematerializes, scattering its flame around and then uniting inside the lamp. Its velvet blue color now illuminates the room. In the middle there's a sofa. a desk on the opposite side. Against the wall the room is partially surrounded by shelves while further there's a black screen. The lamp is the source of light while on the ground and walls you can see patterns where blue lights run through toward the black screen and the desk.

Are you transported to another world? Or game..? But Link… You haven't even said goodbye and—! It didn't took much when you sunk. You were just someone who got lost in the dimension and had no particular relation with them. Separation was bound to happen. What difference would it make if you suddenly poofed out of their world? …What's the point…?

"My my, this is quite a room."

You flinched and turned around at the owner of the voice right next to you. Which you swear wasn't there before. The person was tall, fair-skinned with hair white as snow and eyes of marigold colors. Their outfit recalls a butler and the color matches the velvet blue with hints of black, white and gold.

They bowed at you, a hand on the back and another in the chest. They lifted their heads up with a distant smile and introduced themselves as a resident of the velvet room and to be your attendant, your butler to be specific.

The butler turned on the desk and so did you. Approaching it closer, you notice it has some buttons on the right side. Familiar arrows and four letters and two buttons next to each other and lastly a white circle. On your left a black screen.

"Allow me to demonstrate," the butler moved behind it and tapped the white button and it turned to gold which light started running through the gaps of the blue desk. "Magnificent," they whispered. "We attendants most likely rely on books. But I do have experience on this so I hope to be helpful nonetheless."

Understanding what they meant, you nodded. The black screen on the desk lightened and showed a hologram of a dagger. Silver, s-curved with light-ivory hilt and engraved patterns on the blade.

Your eyes widened at a sudden memory recollection. You read it out and held it in your hand remembering that… Stunned, you put the same hand on your chest.

"An interesting way of a persona manifestation. A dagger." The butler said and you looked at them to catch their eyes. An amused smile draws on their lips. "Not exactly adequate to fight… but it's all on the holder's hand what it's used for." They paused.

"So, what will you use it for, I wonder." Their smile became more clearer yet it was unattached to any emotions. They turned around and walked then turned to you.

"A vile entity was able to take hold of incomprehensible knowledge to mankind! And you…" They held out their hand to you with open palm "...aware of your role as stand here yet still lost and with a soul like wavering flame!"

"...Thou shall not ask for answers that time will give.

"Strengthen your heart along the path, be brave to form bonds and wise shall you be…

"…And I shall be at your service to guide you in this colliding worlds."

Their words and their figure faded in the darkness as you woke up. The unnatural velvet blue is now replaced with the color of the morning sky. It was as if you hadn't slept at all, chest rising up and down after the dream… but it was not as you know it was true.

The Velvet Room… This means the events have to do with the subconscious and consciousness of mankind but you have no further information to conclude the wholeness of it… is this Hyrule real or a figment of mankind…?

"They woke up!" An enthusiastic voice notified, making your head turn. It was Link. Wind to be specific. The youngest ran toward you and the others followed him.

The chain gathered around you. The others just stayed quiet waiting for you to speak while Hyrule and Time kneeled at your height as the former asked how you were feeling.

"I'm fine… I… umm…" you lower your gaze, lips pursing and debating if to tell them about your dream. The chain looked at each other with concern.

"H-Hey, now. Let's take it easy." Wild spoke relieving the tension "How about we eat something first? You can't think clearly with an empty tummy!"

The suggestion was favorable as everyone nodded. Time looked at you and pointed to a wooden basin filled with water.

"C'mon, get yourself ready. The water should still be warm." He said with a gentle tone. You nodded and stood up with his help and get prepared for the day.

You looked at the group and concluded to not tell anything for now…

A/N: Thanks for reading until here! I'm actually hoping no one would read this...? ahah;;; I feel like going back in 2013 l, oh dear. Sorry if my content is... off-topic...? >_< )... a fanfic crossover of a fanmade... what in the world??

#🖊 ima writes #linked universe x reader #linked crossover

[seasaltmemories]

17, 24, and 25 for the choose violence ask game!!!

there should be more of this type of fic/art

I am usually not the type to tell ppl what they should create so take this as my personal taste but genuinely I would love more divorce/break-up fic that doesn't demonize any particular person

Like yeah these are harrowing events that often leave ppl hurt and betrayed, but looking into why a relationship fails can be just as interesting as why it works

A big problem I know is the idea that these would be inherently anti-whatever ship but really when I found a divorce fic for my otp I was excited. Honestly my big let down was the scathing critique was "they were too young to get married" rather than digging into their actual relationship

topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

Comphet fictional discourse. Genuinely a real thing, but ppl give way too much credit to cishet creators who have never heard of Adrienne Rich. Like I don't trust anything that doesn't already have five separate queer characters already to actually get into such a complex topic. If they can't write a normal straightforward gay relationship, then they ain't even thinking of comphet.

And headcanons are headcanons, go wild, but the justifications some people will use for them often act like you can't be truly attracted to anyone unless they are you're one true love. It turns the vast complexity of queer experience into a little white picket fence nuclear family ideal. At worst you get annoying shipping wars where "oh this long term relationship with their love interest doesn't actually mean anything bc they aren't married with 2.5 kids to" to genuine vile abuse rhetoric like, "sexual and domestic violence doesn't happen if you are capable of being attracted to someone"

TLDR: HC Utena as a comphet lesbian all you want, but if you argue that if she was bisexual she wouldn't be actually harmed by Akio grooming and assaulting her, you are evil.

common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

Ppl acting like the only media options are big name corporate franchises or fanfic. Fanfic can be fun and meaningful without it being the only bastion of marginalized experiences. That's so much pressure to put on ppl's silly little stories and it ignores the wealth of small time creators who are putting their heart and soul into original stories across every medium

Please just don't rely on what trends on twitter or shows up on your dash. Some of my most transformative media experiences have been bc I took a chance on a book/show with a cool cover. I've found out stories of intense familial abuse and recovery using the Arthurian mythos, horror stories about a young girl and her gay brother-in-law both being haunted by the death of her older brother in different harrowing ways, surrealistic art-pieces about family and what makes it worth returning to, and quiet meloncholy domestic stories that use magic to show both the pain of being othered, but the join in finding community that does support you.

And I am not even intentionally seeking out indies particularly often! So many people are creating the art you wish to see already, you just got to go out searching for them

#seasalt talks #thanks for the ask!! #yes i always bring up utena but I will never recover from ppl saying in one breath bi rights #then implying a bi CHILD would welcome the advances of an adult man unlike a good and pure gay one in the next #also all of those examples are real just reach out to me for the titles

Rules: shuffle your ‘on repeat’ playlist and post the first ten tracks, then tag ten people 🎶

Thanks for the tag, @lets-try-some-writing! I listened to all of the songs you listed (and previewed the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla soundtrack since my attention span is too short for a whole album at the moment). I must say, I like your taste in music!

Anyway, I’m going to have so much fun with this since some of the songs that came up are part of a yet-to-be-created playlist for my Soundwave’s backstory. 😏 10 songs from my ever-changing Dishwashing On-repeat playlist coming up. (Yeah, there’s a story behind the “dishwashing” name. lol)

The Assailant from Arcane

(Spotify | YouTube)

Gladiator!Soundwave stepping into the Pits of Kaon, ready to take on Megatron(us)

Light Em Up by Daniel Gunnarsson

(Spotify | YouTube)

I have this on my ‘To Be a Lost Lighter’ playlist, but my newest interpretations are Soundwave @ Shockwave in the first sequel to my Big Bang fic (platonic) and Orion Pax @ Shockwave in IDW1 (romantic, perhaps?)

Suffer by Harlen Chung

(Spotify | YouTube)

This one’s in my Chromedome playlist, but it applies to a variety of angsty situations.

Goodbye (from the series Arcane) by Ramsey

(Spotify | YouTube)

The angst of this song is immaculate; I love it so much. There is a very specific, heart-wrenching Soundwave scene I intend to write to go with it:

“I can hear the sound of a heartbeat before it goes out / Won't ever leave my memory of bloodshed all around / And I can see a tear on my father's face before it falls out / Oh my enemy, how could I have ever let you down? Oh

When all these trees saw us grow / Cut our teeth and break our bones right here / We'd play with shields made of stone / Share our dreams and sit on thrones, be still

'Cause I see smoke up ahead and I got steel in my hands, we will / Return like warriors, I swear that we'll find glory up ahead, tell me

Where is my home? / I don't recognize the faces anymore, oh / Where is my friend? / The one I've known since I was only just a kid

I think it's time to say goodbye / Goodbye, goodbye / Goodbye, goodbye, oh / It's time to say goodbye / Goodbye, goodbye / Goodbye, goodbye, oh”

A Sky Full of Stars (cover) by The Piano Guys

(Spotify | YouTube)

I highly recommend watching the YouTube music video for this, as the salt flats and visual effects add so much to the music. I strongly associate this cover with TFP Optimus in particular. ✨

Hopeful by ODESZA

(Spotify | YouTube)

Just cool vibes.

Legendary by Epic Soul Factory

(Spotify | YouTube)

This epicore(?) instrumental is in my Iacon playlist. The city was once the home of legends (both bots and stories), and this captures that vibe nicely.

㆔ by Aether

(Spotify | YouTube)

The word I’d assign to this song is “yearning.” It’s one of my all-time favorites.

Doves by We Are All Astronauts

(Spotify | YouTube)

I love this song so much. It only has 2-3 lines of lyrics—a quote by Carl Sagan—but the quote and the whole vibe of the song make me think of the hypothetical collision of Cybertroniankind and humanity and how we would most likely view each other:

“You’re an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone. In all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.”

Playground (from the series Arcane) by Bea Miller

(Spotify | YouTube)

The undercity of Zaun in Arcane is very similar to how I imagine Kaon being like before the war. When I listen to the song, I have a scene playing in my head: A young, wary Soundwave wandering the streets of Kaon with Ravage that transitions to him walking those same streets as a gladiator with both Ravage and Megatron present—all three of them aware of the power they now hold. *cries in inability to art*

Tagging @onewingedsparrow @karlyanalora @aecho-again @decepticon-nerd @starscreamgirlfriend @knight-says-ni @spiritshaydra @soundwavesweep @sphnyspinspin @localrobotlover

[insanelydeadlybookcollector]

When you think Mondler tell Jack and Erica that they’re adopted? Or they clue them in from the beginning? I like to think Erica is the splitting image of her birth mother and Jack likes football because his biological father was a football player. Sometimes I also think what if their father was a person of color? that would be quite interesting dynamic. One more question, when you think and how Monica and Rachel met and became friends? Thanks for answering all my questions. Sorry if too much.

I've loved chatting with you (whoever you are), it's been fun talking about the trajectory of Mondler and their family and the journey it took to get them there. Plus, it's been a nice distraction from the work I'm meant to be doing, too.

I think they tell them fairly on. Chandler in particular but Monica as well, know how detrimental lies can be in a biological parent-child relationship. Plus, they've just seen firsthand how traumatising it can be for a child to live a lie and then have that dashed, made worse when their reality is changed because of a stranger. They wouldn't do that to their children.

I like that idea! I don't know where this idea that the twins are blonde came from, you see it time and time again in fanfiction, normally as a catalyst for the twins finding out they are adopted. But blonde is a recessive genetic trait, where both parents would have to present as blonde or have blonde genes. It's not uncommon, but it's an unlikely trait for them to have. Then you have the fact that most blondes grow out of their hair colour early in their childhood. Blonde becomes strawberry blonde or light brown, normally earlier, but definitely by puberty. So it is unlikely an adult onlooker would use this as their reasoning for believing Jack and Erica are adopted.

Moreover, there is no reason that Jack and Erica look anything alike. One may be blonde, the other a brunette. Yes, they probably shared a placenta or amniotic sac, which would explain why Chandler and Monica and anyone they showed didn't see a second foetus. But ultrasounds are grainy and difficult to translate into sensical images even when you do know what you're looking for, but Chandler and Monica were handed the ultrasound from Erica, not a doctor. And, we know, that the babies were hiding behind each other, as foetus' often do. But that doesn't mean they're identical.

I'd never even thought of that! Which shows you the societal expectations I have internalised over the years, but of course it's possible that the twins are interracial! The writers very cleverly never let us meet or learn the name of the father, or even really meet the babies, so the possibilities are endless for what the twins look like. Which just makes me angrier at how close-minded some people are, having just read a pretty twisted article that said a "spoof" of the final episode was that the "baby in Chandler's arms was black." Nevermind that his body was concave and creating a shadow, that baby had every reason to be coloured according to the plot which left the biological father up to audience interpretation.

Monica and Rachel are childhood friends aren't they? Neighbours? i'm not sure if Rachel is literally Ross' girl next door, but I do know they lived on the same street, the Gellers and the Greens, so I'm assuming they've known each other since they were very, very young. Judy and Sandra bonding over having Ross and Amy at roughly the same time, and again, being pregnant simultaneously with Monica and Rachel. I imagine they've been friends since they were very young, then again, they might have only really become aware of each other and become friends when they were about eight, finally put in the same class at school and look at that, you live right down here too! which makes Rachel dropping Monica to search for a husband while Monica chased a career, growing distant to the point where Monica hadn't seen Rachel in a while and wasn't invited to her wedding all the more hurtful.

The Search for Food Is Full of Dangers!?

El Greco's Birthday 4★ story (1/3) ( 1 - 2 - 3 )

Location: dormitory hallway (morning) ; terrace (morning) | Characters: El Greco, Van Gogh, Munch, Mucha

El Greco: (It was raining yesterday, but it's much clearer today… With this, I think I can draw a picture that looks like it was carved out of stone. I'll head for the garden.)

(...?)

Van Gogh: –That's what I mean…

Munch: I'll be sure not to tell Niko-chan!

El Greco: (... Are they talking about me?)

Mucha: I see, if that is the case– oh?

El Greco: !

Munch: Ah! Niko-chan!

El Greco: … Sorry, I heard you talking.

Van Gogh: Uh, uuuuh!?

El Greco: However, I didn't hear what you were saying. I think just my name…

Munch: Really? That's all you heard…?

El Greco: ? Yeah.

Mucha: … Actually, we were talking about your hometown.

El Greco: ? My hometown?

Mucha: I was being consulted by these two if I knew more about it.

Van Gogh: Uhm, Mucha-san…

Mucha: However, I just told them I was unable to help them.

Van Gogh: !

Mucha: We were talking about the possibility of having you tell us about it directly.

El Greco: Talking about my hometown, huh? I don't mind, but... Why all of a sudden?

Munch: Well you see, it's because it'll be your birt–

Mucha: You never know where inspiration for art will come from, do you? Hearing about cultures and lands that you are not normally exposed to will inspire you to create… am I right, Van Gogh-san?

Van Gogh: Y-Yeah! You're right, Mucha-san! That's why…

El Greco: (Sure, that's one way to think of it.)

As for me, I feel like a bee to honey when people are interested in my hometown.

Munch: I didn't think you'd be that happy, Niko-chan! You must be so excited!

Mucha: Then it is decided. I will leave you to it.

El Greco: Yeah.

—

El Greco: –there's a custom like that.

Van Gogh: Oooooh…!

Munch: What else do you have? Tell me moreee!

El Greco: (I didn't think they would bite me like this… I don't think I've told them anything that special.)

In addition to our customs, there are many "things that are believed". For example, "if you see a rainbow over an olive tree, you won't get sick".

Van Gogh: If that wouldn't make me sick, I'd be looking for rainbows in the olive trees every day.

El Greco: Yeah.

Munch: Then, how about a rainbow on the moon? I see them sometimeees.

El Greco: On the moon… no, not that one in particular. If you're talking about caterpillars that live on the moon–

Mucha: I see that there are a number of things that are different from here. Are celebrations and such different from here as well?

Van Gogh: ! Ah, I want to hear about it too!

El Greco: Celebrations, huh…

(... Should I tell them about that? But that's…)

Munch: Niko-chan, what's wrong? You look displeased?

El Greco: … It's the skin of a chopped apple.

Munch: Ah! Is it the kind of story that scares people…?

Mucha: It is not nice if it is scary. Could you please tell us as much as you can?

El Greco: … Alright. Celebrations in my hometown are… very hard to prepare. If it's not done well, they can be started more than a year in advance.

Van Gogh: That early…?

El Greco: Yeah.

–Otherwise, it could cost you your life.

With GoDaddy.com, they may be registered for as cheap as £4, or even for no cost with Bluehost plans. Premium domain names, however, may sell for thousands or even millions of dollars. VacationRentals.com was sold for a good $35 million in 2007! Although you won't find anything similar today, a little bit of research might still help you make a fast profit. Finding accessible domain names with some economic worth is the trick. Grab them and put them up for sale on a website like Sedo.com after that.

Heyo! I hope you're doing well! For the new NSFW asks, how about 39: "do you have a mommy kink", "no", "do you want one?" with leonardo, I've been waiting for a mommy kink with leonardo so I figured now would be a good time to ask lol 😂

Y’all heathens have to reignite my “Leo Has A Mommy Kink” debate.

So yes of course I can.

Rated Explicit (18+ only)

There are several aspects about Leo’s life that he quite enjoys keeping private.

You don’t earn the nickname Honor Boy without exactly living up to it. So naturally he doesn’t go about voicing things that needn’t concern his chatty brothers and their abilities for dumb nicknames.

It just doesn’t concern them that he’s, well he’s not the purest of the bunch. So what he likes to blow off steam and said steam requires particular things for it to be blown off. Nobody needs to know how much he’s read up on rope play and shibari (it’s artistic he swears) and nobody needs to know that his own internet history searches could rival that of Donnie.

And nobody needs to know that he may have a slight, tiny, minuscule, itty bitty mommy kink.

He feels his neck already all hot and sweaty when it comes to you, so it was quite uncalled for (in his mind) for you to talk kinks with him one late night in his room. Because contrary to Donnie who isn’t ashamed of his likes, Leo is still working through that. He doesn’t know how exactly to voice it, he isn’t stoked about sitting down with Donnie (who would be the most understanding) because he’s a little repressed to this day.

But you’re much more open, shameless and so nonchalant about it. He quite envies it to be honest, how you can laugh and giggle your way through a list you found online and have been reading to him about kinks.

And yes Leo’s laughed too, some of them sound so bizarre and not in the least bit appealing.

And yes he’s tried not to look too shameful about knowing some that you’ve never heard of.

“People really make a kink for anything, I bet there’s somebody right now inventing a new one” You scrolled on your phone, grinning when you landed on one in particular you knew all too well. You sat up a little straighter on Leo’s bed and cleared your throat.

“Daddy kink? Does is spark joy or not?” You gave your best game show voice and Leo shook his head with a chuckle. “I dunno, not really, there’s better authoritative names” He clears his throat, trying not to allude too much to what would end him if a girl ever said it to him.

“I suppose you’re on to something there, I’m either or, maybe in the heat of the moment who knows” You do notice that some of these have probably hit home for him, he had been a little more talkative before but as the list progressed, the more shy he got.

Something about that makes you so astonishingly delighted.

“Once a guy called me Mommy and I have to say, awakened something in me” You studied his reaction, Leo swallowed and did not in anyways let his eye stray towards you.

Oh boy.

“Do you have a mommy kink?” You flat out asked him, grinning. Leo kept his eyes anywhere but on you.

“No” With just a little more conviction he could’ve made it believable the poor soul.

“Do you want one?” You ask him with every seductive incentive that only serves for Leo to swallow.

You sit up on your knees and rest your hands on his shoulders, Leo can’t really stay with his eyes glued to one of his bonsais forever, so he caves.

Oh god does he cave.

“What’s wrong sweet boy?” You coo at him, hands running up his hot neck and resting on his cheeks. “Is my precious little boy embarrassed?” You caress his cheek, even going so far as to adjust his mask and Leo feels like he’s going to scream because blood rushing to places it shouldn’t right now.

“It’s ok, mommy’s goodest boy doesn’t have to be embarrassed about anything, yeah?” And you have to bite your lip from smiling so much when Leo honest to god shakes his head at your inquiry. You thumb his bottom lip and lean in close enough to feel his warm breath. “Have you been good? Have you been the most good boy for me?” You watch his tongue dart out to lick his dry lips as he nods.

The surge of power that shoots through your veins, it was definitely something you us become a fan of. But Leo’s reaction had been way more entertaining than that of your old flame. Your eyes landed on his lap, clearly this had pulled a very interesting reaction out of him. “Tsk tsk, did I say you could get excited?” You chastised him, tapping his lips with your finger.

How the night shifted to this was beyond Leo, he was lost in the mood, in the heat behind your words and there was no way he could stop his cock from filling up due to it. A part of him wanted to be embarrassed, he considers himself such a strong willed person, not easily cracked but yet here you were making putty out of him with such sweet words. You leaned in, voice a whisper. “Are you okay with this? Want me to stop?” You wanted to check in after all, but you would not continue if this was overstepping any boundaries with him.

Leo took a shuddering breath.

“No...mommy”

You bit the inside of your cheek, that shouldn’t have made you so hot. With a soft fingertip to the middle of his plastron, you followed a path downwards toward his already tenting shorts. You heard him gulp and once your hand was inside you gripped him with every intention of making squirm.

And messy.

Because Leo has to appreciate some messes.

“You’re such a good boy, my good blue boy” You jerked his cock slowly, each pump deliberate with the goal of hearing him struggle to autores a noise. A strong hand found your thigh and gripped it, several choked moans and whines escaping him. Pressing your lips to his cheek you hushed him, you kissed the spot just as you began to speed up your movements. Leo’s hips wanted to buck up into your tight grip, he felt your lips travel towards his ear and a smug tone that only served to make his cock leak. “Who has a mommy kink after all?” Oh he would’ve crawled into a hole and the way you giggled only made the situation worse.

He felt himself cum without warning, which only made the situation even more amusing for you, some of it shot up towards your shirt as you kept pumping. Leo didn’t even know if he could muffle his sounds more by. “Messy messy, you ruined mommy’s shirt” You grinned, still lazily stroking him as he slumped back against the pillows. His soft blue eyes found yours, if he could turn red he would’ve been by, you leaned down and kissed him.

As you pulled away, Leo gently reached for your stained hand and brought it towards his lips.

“May I clean my mess up...mommy?”

You bit down on your bottom lip and nodded.

Oh this would be such a fun new thing for the two of you and even as Leo (embarrassed to high end but still greatly enjoying himself) licked your fingers and palm of his own cum, he knew as well that maybe sharing his likes wouldn’t be so bad after all.
