Hello, 🌙 Anon.
Tag list: @withered-blossoms
To your questions.
1. Reincarnation. Sort off
The First Creator gave too much power to make Teyvat, so, they couldn't continue to live in their real form. Moreover, they never planned to rule over people. They create Teyvat, so people would strife forward for themselves. So they won't consult their every step with higher being.
But, First Creator understand, that, sometimes, people can face something, that is far away from their league. So, First Creator could not just leave their creation on their own.
First Creator split their power in two, so their future reincarnations would help Teyvat in time of need, but this power won't be enough to have constant and full control over Teyvat.
First Creator died, starting a reincarnation circle. Thousand of thousands reincarnations were born.
With time, Creator's powers slowly decreased, as Teyvat people because more and more independent.
Yet, sometimes, more, than two reincarnations could appear at the same time.
Fake Creator are more of a spiritual sucsessor, a small sparkles of the remaining powers of Creator. That only made them look like First Creator.
Yet, they found a way to 'consume' powers of the previous reincarnations from reincarnations' old belongings, artifacts and bones.
So, after consuming everything they found, Fake Creator went to Teyvat and pose as real Creator.
Reader have have the rest of current remaining powers. If they spend more time in Teyvat, their power would became stronger. But, Reader have spend only one month here and the only powers they have - making every monster, exept monsters from Abyss, listen to them.
Fake Creator were planning to consume powers from Reader.
Tumblr media
In Teyvat: hiding Reader, trying to find people, that can help Reader, trying to find a way to get Reader home. They also spend time with Reader, playing games, to make Reader feel better.
In Real World: Nahida is trying to make a plan about future (she has a feeling, that Teyvat will suffer some real damage from BSD Cast. She isn't fine with this, yet, she understands, where it came from and that the anger is justified). Spend time with Oda's kids, Q, Elise and Aya.
Aranaras had created new Vanarara. Visit dreams of local kids.
Tumblr media
Yes, they have. And nightmares are quite severe. Sometimes, they saw memories, reliving, what they have been through. Sometimes, like in Tetchou's short, they saw an alternative, where they were captured by someone, when, back then, they managed to flee.
Tumblr media
Wanderer is spying for Nahida.
Fake Creator are really manipulative. Before they went to Teyvat, they tried to find as many followers, as they can.
They start going to Scaramouche dreams before Sumeru's quest. They gave them more powers, promising to judge Ei for mistreatment. Fake Creator even destroy few important places in Inazuma, making Ei look bad.
Slowly, Scaramouche became attached to Fake Creator.
Yet, the Sumeru came.
After being defeated, Scaramouche felt conflicted about Creator. Then, he learned the truth about Niwa's death.
And, when Fake Creator finally go to Teyvat (after Fontain's Archon Quest), they didn't judge Ei, as they promised, didn't punish Dottore.
And, when Wanderer shared his thoughts on Fake Creator, before facing them. Nahida told Wanderer about Fake Creator being Fake.
Because Fake Creator thought, that Wanderer would be loyal to them, Nahida asked Wanderer to spy on The Fake.
Wanderer is careful and try not to blow his cover-up. He helped to search for you, only to let you go away, if he ran into you.
When Reader asked BSD Cast to save Nahida and Aranaras, Reader didn't know about Wanderer being on their side. Nahida would be the one, who explained the whole situation. After that, Wanderer was offered to go to the Real World.
Tumblr media
Fake Creator have enough (stolen) powers to grand some powerful gifts. They not only destroyed Celestia, but, gave Abyss Sibling the power to open as many abyss portals, as they want, and giving them the power to forbid someone from going through the portal.
Worst of all, Fake Creator create a link between Abyss Order members and Abyss Sibling.
So, any time Reader ran into an Abyss Mage, they have to flee from an appeared Abyss Sibling. 'Thankfully', the relationship between Abyss Order and Teyvat are still not the best, so, Abyss Monsters didn't go near towns or main roads. So, with some luck, Reader managed to avoid them.
Tumblr media
Because of the Fake Creator and Abyss Sibling, traveling between Abyss and Teyvat became almost impossible, so Skirk is stuck in the Abyss. She feels, that Fake Creator are fake. But, she can't do much to help Reader. She tried to carefully sabotage an Abyss Order, to gave Reader a chance to flee.
If she had a chance to be outside the Abyss, she won't participate in the chase. Yet, she also won't help Reader.
Tumblr media
Fake Creator consider Paimon a cute little thing and keep her close to themselves, feeding her. Moreover, because Fake Creator have a feeling, that Paimon has a connection to Celestia, Fake Creator want to keep an eye on her.
Paimon would freeze, if she met Reader. She had a feeling, that Reader are really important. This will let Reader flee.
Tumblr media
I am planning to add some fighting scenes.
For now, I am thinking about:
Paul Verlaine vs Wriothesley (while saving Furina)
Chuuya Nakahara, Mori Ougai and Elise vs Zhongli
Akutagawa Ryunosuke vs Diluc (From Request)
Fukuchi Ouchi vs Pierro
Jounou Saigiku vs Kaeya
Michizou Tachihara vs Sandrone
Bram Stoker vs Dainsleif
I can change this list in a future.
Tumblr media
This come from the theory, that Columbina is a fairy
Celestia and Fairies were close familiars of the Fist Creator. They can feel, who are the real Creator. That's why Fake Creator destroy Celestia, before they could find out the truth.
Columbina was born after First Creator's death, so she has a hard time to find the truth about Fake Creator.
So, when she caught Reader in Natlan, and felt similar power, she assumed, that both Reader and Fake Creator are legitimate Reincarnations and let Reader go.
Tumblr media
10. Maybe, they would visit once. When Fake Creator would be punished, and Reader would be okay with this.
In any case, Reader will stay in real world, away from Teyvat.
11. Reader play Genshin Impact and more or less knowledgeable about lore.
Thanks, I am glad, that you enjoyed it.
The next part, Jounou focused one shot and Dazai and Fyodor shot are in progress right now. I also were thinking about BEAST Characters Edition to Ideas Series.

Note
I have done my due diligence as a ShoH fan and scoured the blog and Patreon for the answer to this. Searching for every term I can think of that might yield me the answer I seek, and reading all of the Q&As (yes, every single one), yet to my shock it seems no one has asked an all important question: How weak are the Shepherds - including Halek - to MC's puppy eyes? If it isn't too much trouble, it would be lovely to know in both the crushing and relationship stages. Thank you so much! You are awesome and I love this game so much! <3 (The closest I've come to finding an answer is from this Ask A Character Day from 2018 for Blade: https://www.shepherdsofhaven.com/post/181334587366)
Ooh thank you so much for your diligence, I really commend it!! 🙏💖 I also found this one, but you're right in that it seems like this question hasn't been answered before! :) I don't think there's much difference between crushing and relationship stage for this one, so I'll just answer in general:
Blade: 8/10 effectiveness, probably 9/10 in a relationship? It really depends on what the scenario is! If MC is in a shop and is like "I really want this but I'll need to store it in a communal closet because it won't fit in my room 🥺", he might put up a token resistance or try to point out why it's a bad idea, but he'd fold pretty quickly under the pressure of the puppy eyes and be like "tch........... fine" like 8-9 out of 10 times lol! He might make a big show of buying it for them and carrying it for them and setting it up for them with a long-suffering world-weariness or exasperation/annoyance/reluctance (like 😑), but anyone who knows him well enough would know it's just theater and he's just trying to act tough to mask the fact that he's happy to make MC happy LOL. However, puppy eyes wouldn't work in more serious scenarios, like things that would make him truly uncomfortable or break the rules or put MC in danger, things like that!
Trouble: 10/10 effectiveness, he pretty much folds instantly to whatever MC wants anyway, they don't even really need to use puppy eyes because he'll move heaven and earth to do whatever they ask anyway LOL
Tallys: 5/10 effectiveness, Tallys thinks the puppy eyes are cute and she tends to be indulgent towards MC, but I don't think the eyes themselves would be what sways her opinion on something one way or another?
Shery: 10/10 effectiveness, Shery is already eager to please MC so the eyes would just KO her and make her look away and blush! They probably wouldn't even really be necessary, I can't think of any scenario where MC would have to beg/plead/persuade Shery of anything she wasn't already willing to do for them lol, unless you're a MONSTER who takes advantage of her kindness by making her do your paperwork for you or something...
Chase: hmm I'm not sure about this one: I can't think of any scenarios where Chase would deny MC something in the first place, he seems usually happy to indulge them in whatever they want? Like if they're like "could you buy this 🥺?" done. "could you do me this favor? 🥺" sure, sure, sunshine, anything for you. He just has a general attitude of lax, benevolent indulgence and an easygoing "sure why not, i don't give a fuck about consequences" mode of being, so I don't really know of any times when MC would have to use puppy eyes on him. He's already going to agree to most anything you want! So I guess... is this like a 9/10 or 10/10 scenario? I just feel like the puppy eyes themselves don't have any effect on whether he'll say yes or not lol, he'll think it's an amusing expression but not all that necessary?
Riel: 2/10. he has no respect for the puppy dog eyes. If you want to persuade him of something, use your words, or outmaneuver him and outsmart him or something! Relying solely on a manipulative, watery-eyed look like that's going to change his feelings on the matter is half-insulting. He'd rather you try to manipulate him in other ways LOL he'd find that more respectable! He's more inclined to say no if you do use puppy dog eyes purely to discourage further use of them! 😂 But I'll still give it a 2 because there are still some times it might work lol
Red: 7/10 crushing? He's pretty susceptible to the puppy dog eyes and liable to cave to them, but not so much so that they're always guaranteed to make him budge. He'll have to look away and grit his teeth and put up a resistance, but he is capable of doing so if he thinks there's a more reasonable course of action to things! Then again, he is also pretty susceptible to peer pressure and campaigns of persuasion, so maybe this is really an 8/10? Funnily enough, I feel like the effectiveness might decrease once in a relationship, because by then he'll have built up an immunity to MC's tricks lol!
Ayla: 6/10, she's pretty stubborn but also finds MC pretty cute and hard to resist and also doesn't have much experience in resisting puppy dog eyes in general! I can imagine MC looking at her from a vendor's stall like "🥺 we could buy these fish and move them into our room..." and Ayla would bare her teeth like "RRrgrgARRRHG FINE." Like experiencing cute aggression lol. But it wouldn't work every single time, and would really depend on what the situation is, so that's why it's a 6!
Briony: 9/10, she's sobbing and crying in the face of MC's puppy dog eyes like "😭😭 okay!!! whatever you want!!!" She'd find them very hard to resist and is usually happy to do what MC wants, anyway!
Lavinet: 5/10? I think she'd be more susceptible to puppy dog eyes if they were coming from friends, but from her romantic partner, I don't think they would have much sway on her opinions or decisions; she'd probably just pat his cheek and be like, "That's cute... but my mind is made up, darling!" It just doesn't seem to have much effect on her, but she's usually happy to indulge MC anyway, especially if it's important enough for them to ask her about it, so the puppy eyes typically aren't even necessary!
Halek: 8/10? As we can see in Chapter 8.5, when MC literally simpers at him to carry them across a puddle... It's pretty effective when he likes you (though he'll roll his eyes and groan and grumble and grump about it), but it's actually a huge turn-off if he doesn't like you or doesn't know you that well!
Thank you for your very kind words and for the question! :)

Last Halloween: Chapter 11
Tumblr media
Summary: After a tragedy involving Joel happened on Halloween one year prior, the town now shuns him while ignoring the details of the now closed case. You are seemingly the only one to offer empathy to a man the town is making out to be a monster.
Pairing: Joel x f!reader
An overcast sky overtook the former sunny day as you drove across town in the mid-afternoon. Somehow you enjoyed the slate background better than the blue, as it contrasted the yellow and orange leaves that fell from the trees. You were quite literally living in one of those fall ambience backgrounds that littered Instagram and Tumblr.
Passing the town green made you smile to yourself, as groups of kids of all ages were putting up scarecrows for the annual contest. While there was so much ugly that lurked in the shadows, you took time to appreciate the good that outshined it.
As you passed by the coffee shop you subconsciously ducked down because of the call out you made. Inside you caught a glimpse of two of your coworkers and a small part of you felt a tad guilty.
They're making money, you reminded yourself. And it wasn't like it was the weekend. You knew your guilty conscious was unmatched.
When you arrived home there were no cars in the driveway and you wandered inside. You helped yourself to a quick snack, tempted to open one of the bags of Halloween candy that the four of you had been buying weekly in anticipation for the trick or treaters on Halloween night.
Rather, you tossed a handful of potato chips onto a paper plate and scooped out two spoonfuls of French Onion to the side.
"How am I still hungry?" You spoke to yourself, dunking a ruffled chip before popping it into your mouth.
A noise from down the hall made you freeze for a second and you stopped chewing. You looked around the empty kitchen and continued to listen. When there wasn't another noise you continued to chew and wrote it off as something from outside.
The second noise, however, you couldn't ignore. Naturally you wanted to call out, 'hello', but you had seen one too many movies to even consider it.
Did I miss someone's car in the driveway? You wondered. No was the answer. You didn't have to look to double check; but you did anyway. The only car parked out there was your blue Mazda.
You eyed the hallway that led down to your bedrooms and took a deep breath. The creak of a door held you firmly in place again and your stomach knotted up. The faces of Vic, the cops from the night before and even Steve popped into your head.
"Shit." You whispered to yourself, glancing toward the front door. Carefully, you tiptoed in that direction, but you didn't get all of two steps and someone emerged from your bedroom.
You screamed. They screamed. You were about to run to the door but it registered who you were screaming with.
"Winnie!" You shrieked her name.
"I didn't hear you come in," she confessed, breathing heavy with a black dress in her hand.
"Is that my dress?"
"I texted you asking if I could borrow it for a night out with Jacob but you didn't respond."
"I'm sorry." You rummaged in the pocket of your hoodie for your phone and saw you had somehow overlooked the message from your friend. "Where's your car?"
Winnie raised her eyebrows and then looked away with a smirk. "I Ubered home last night after a party at the beer garden. My car's still in the parking lot."
You laughed and caught your breath, sighing out loud. "Shit. I thought you were an intruder."
Winnie laughed. "I just thought I was alone."
"Well, you can borrow the dress." You laughed. "You don't even have to ask."
Winnie stalked up to where you were standing. "Where were *you* last night?" She asked with playful accusation.
The look on your face gave away most of what she needed to know.
"Who is he?" Winnie asked. "And what the hell? You haven't told me about a guy. Ooo wait, was it a one night stand? Was it Steve?" Her questions came out in rapid fire and it made you laugh again.
"No and no," you replied as quickly as possible and then added a third, "No," for good measure.
"Okay, so.. spill it! Ahh I'm excited!" Winnie's energy was through the roof, and often contagious.
"You have to promise you won't judge."
"I'm a little hurt you even have to lead off like that."
"I know, I know. Okay." You let out a deep breath. "Umm.. well.. I've been seeing.." you let out a second deep breath, "Joel Miller."
Winnie's eyes were on the verge of cartoonish from the way they bugged out of her head. "Wait? Actually?"
You nodded. "I know what people think about him. But I know the whole story."
"I never really thought he was guilty of anything anyway."
"You didn't?"
"I've seen that Johnny dude around in the past. Saw him straight up smack his girl in the parking lot behind Oakshire Tavern. And I'm not talking about a little smack, I'm talking about sending her to the pavement in her finest dress smack."
"Oh my-"
"Yeah. My dad told me all about them and the way they terrorized people in high school and stuff. He's like, a few years younger, but he knew of them."
"Wow." You shook your head in disbelief.
"You're really letting old man Miller tap that?" She asked, making you both laugh.
"We.. just did.. last night." You eyed the ceiling with a grin and then looked back to Winnie.
"Isn't he, like, thrice our age?"
"He's 41."
"Damn." Winnie grinned and then laughed again, this time putting her hands on her knees. "I need time to process this."
"You and me both." You laughed and let out a sigh, thankful for your friend's lighthearted reaction. "You don't care? Like, you don't think I'm weird?"
"I'm a little in shock," she admitted with a laugh. "And I still can't tell if you're kidding."
"I'm not kidding," you promised.
Winnie shrugged, still grinning so hard you suspected her cheeks hurt. "Then go get some."
You chuckled again and put a hand on your forehead. "Shit you scared me." You changed the subject.
Winnie continued to giggle. "I'm sorry. It's this town. It's the Halloween stuff that gets us all spooked."
"Yeah." You didn't want to indulge in the handful of other reasons you had for being jumpy.
The two of you wandered to the couch and you flipped on the television. Right away, on AMC, one of the Halloween movies was playing. The two of you looked at one another and Winnie shrugged.
"Might as well." She went and lit a candle, reaching for a blanket to cozy up under. "Joel Miller," she said quietly, making you slowly turn your head in her direction.
You both laughed again and alternated between talking, laughing and watching the movie for the next hour. Being around Winnie for that lull in the day was like chicken soup for the soul.
By the time you met back up with Joel you had that same refreshed feeling. Two out of three of your friends thus far had had your back. You were nervous, but certain, that Chrissy would be on the same page once you had the opportunity to talk to her.
Knocking on Joel's door and seeing him standing there to greet you with a kiss and smile was all you had ever wanted in relationship. Things were moving fast. It was scary in its own way; but it was exciting and fun and left you feeling lighter that air. This was the type of relationship you never expected to find after your long stint in the dating pool.
"The rest of work was good?" You asked, practically pinning yourself to him as you linked your arms behind his neck.
"Mmmhmm.." Joel kissed you on the lips. "What'd you do all afternoon?"
"Watched a movie with Winnie. She passed the vibe check."
"Vibe check?"
"She's in our corner, too." You told him. "Said her dad told her the same type of stuff about the Champagne family." You pecked his lips and then changed the subject. "We're not on a strict schedule or anything are we?" You asked, "As far as tonight's plans go?"
Joel shrugged and eyed a clock on the wall. "No. Why?"
You locked the door behind you and then walked toward the staircase, resting an arm on the bottom of the banister with a suggestive smirk. Your eyes looked up toward the second floor and then back to Joel in such a way that would've clued in even the most innocent of men.
A wide smile formed on Joel's face. "You know we may never get to dinner if I follow you up there, right?" He stalked to where you stood there waiting for him.
When he got close enough, your arms reached up around him as he initiated a shamelessly long and urgent kiss - the kind that were saved for behind closed doors.
You moaned into his hungry mouth. "That's a risk I'm willing to take."

Green-Eyed Monster || Eric Cartman x Reader
note: characters are in high school + there's a lot more swearing
Eric Cartman. He's known as South Park's resident bastard, thanks to his constant scheming of and his inability to comprehend the fact he can't always get his way. Due to the way he is, barely anyone likes him. If at all.
Y/N L/N. You're amongst the sweetest students at school, always willing to help someone and always finding the good in people. Most people adored you, others were just envious they couldn't be like you.
Your peers often wished they were you, however they realised that maybe they didn't want to be you when you started dating Eric. If anything, they wondered if you were okay.
That was only the beginning of the story.
"Seriously, how have you and Y/N lasted longer than Stan and Wendy?" Tolkien laughed from across the table, Stan shooting him an offended glare while the rest of the boys laughed.
"Y/N isn't as shallow as Wendy," Kyle scoffed while poking at his food.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Stan fired.
"I- Jesus Christ. I'm not even going to bother explaining."
"No, please do."
"It means Y/N's not a slut, despite her q-questionable choices." Jimmy jumped in before Kyle could say anything to Stan.
The rest of the table stared between them, the tension was radiating furiously off them. Breaking the tension, however, Kenny made a comment on how he'd like to slut you out. Of course, Clyde agreed.
"Guys, do you ever shut the fuck up!?" Eric finally snapped, hating the way the guys talked about you like you were a piece of meat. Who the hell do they think they are?
Tweek decided to break the sudden silence by asking, "speaking of Y/N. Has anyone seen her? I mean she's not sat with the girls like she usually is.
Everyone turned to look at the seat where you usually sat, and sure enough you weren't there. They then turned to look at Eric, waiting for the reason for your absence.
It was a couple minutes of silence, before he just said, "what?"
"Well, where is she fatass?" Kyle questioned expectantly.
"Boys, you're so immature." He rolled his eyes as if he could say anything about maturity. "My girlfriend, Y/N, has her own life y'know? I guess I can't expect any of you to understand, considering how horrible you are with women." He shot a look between Stan and Tolkien, before looking down at his phone.
They all groaned and rolled their eyes at Eric's hypocritical speech.
After a few minutes, Eric suddenly stood up and made his way outside. When he was out of sight he picked up the pace. What the hell were you doing outside?
Dramatically, he pushed the doors open with so much force they slammed against the exterior. He scanned anywhere he could look to see where you were, only to spot you sat on a bench.
Who the hell was sat with you? Who thought they were more important than your lunch? Who do they think they are!?
He tried to act casual as he stormed over.
Of course.
The person that sat next to you was your mutual friend, Butters, the only guy that didn't make jokes about your relationship with Eric.
You've been spending a lot of time with him, naturally making your boyfriend jealous and he's had enough.
"Y/N."
"Oh, hey babe." You looked up at boyfriend, a little annoyed he interrupted your friend.
"We need to talk." Eric got straight to the point, glaring at the confused blonde boy next to you. He stood there waiting for him to leave, but he didn't get the hint so there was an awkward silence. "Butters-"
"Yeah?" He smiled up at Eric.
"Fuck off for a second."
"Oh, okay." He was also a little mad that your conversation was cut short, but he let it go.
"He's not a mind reader, y'know?" You rolled your eyes.
"Don't defend that asshole."
"Butters is not an asshole, Eric." You turned to face him, enraged. "If anything, you're the asshole for being so mean to him all the time."
"Why the fuck are you defending him, Y/N? It is the last thing I wanna hear right now." He exploded.
"He's my friend! I've been friends with him longer than we've even known each other, why wouldn't I defend him?"
Eric was fuming. He couldn't believe you couldn't see why he was being so mean to Butters, especially recently.
You didn't get a response, so your shoulders dropped and you took a deep breath. "Whatever. What did you want to talk about anyways?"
"Butters."
"Oh, for fuck sake—" you said while you stood up to walk away, but he grabbed your hand.
"Y/N just hear me out."
Whipping your head around, you shot him a furious look.
"Please." He sighed. You remained standing, but you turned your whole body to face him.
"What is it?"
"You've been spending so much time with him, and I hate it! Why is he suddenly getting all of your attention? And why am I not getting any?" He rambled with desperation seeping through his words.
That's when it hit you.
"Eric... are you jealous?" You mumbled in realisation.
"Why would I be jealous of that girlfriend-stealing motherfucker?" He folded his arms and looked away, immediately confirming your suspicion.
You sat back down next to him.
"Jesus Christ." You sighed. "He's been asking me to help him with a girl he likes in his science class.
"What?"
"He's not going after me, and he's not trying to ruin your life so calm down with the accusations." You put your hand over his, so he looked back at you.
"But... how do you feel?" He was afraid to hear the answer, he's never had anyone like you in his life.
"About Butters?"
"Yeah." His voice was soft, finally showing his vulnerable side.
"I see him like a child; a little brother. We're just friends and it'll continue to stay that way, you have nothing to worry about."
You could almost see the worries fading away from his eyes, his anger finally subsiding now that he voiced his jealousy problem.
"Well, good. You're still mine." Eric laughed, trying to put his defensive front back up.
"Of course I am, Eric." A genuine smile broke out on your face. He was unable to resist mirroring the smile.
"Do you wanna continue your conversation with him?"
"I'll just call him when I get home." You shrugged before standing up. "C'mon, let's go get lunch."

How PM members react to you telling them you like being tickled
Tumblr media
We're skipping Mori bc just no-
Chuuya:
With that new information, it's like a switch gets triggered and enter his tickle monster form.
"Run" is the only word he gives you.
He gets a kick out of chasing you down the hallways.
Once he catches you, he'll trap you in a bear hug and his hands will dig all over your torso as he whispers sweet teases into your ear.
"Aww, is this sensitive?~ Haha! Was that a snort? Do it again!~"
If anyone even dares to make fun of your interest in tickling, even if there's no ill intent behind it, he can and WILL kill them. We love a respectful man.
Kouyo:
Finds it very adorable.
Would never say it to your face bc eww vulnerability.
Will take any opportunity to give you surprise tickles. Your backs turned? Her nails lightly run down your spine. Surprise hip squeeze bc she felt like it, etc.
You're never safe when in close proximity, not like you mind~
Akutagawa:
"Oh... what's that?" cue that bug-eyed expression of his in bsd wan.
My boy has no fucking clue what tickling is so you have to explain it to him, maybe even demonstrate it-
"I see..." he wouldn't tell you directly, but he finds it hella adorable.
"So... like this?" very shy ler at first, but once he gets the hang of it he becomes the cockiest motherfucker.
"What's wrong? Can't handle a little bit of tickling?~" that 'lil shit-
On God don't let him find out you told Atsushi too, or the two of them will compete to see who's the better tickler, not that you'd mind that though~
Higuchi:
She boutta feel more embarrassed than you from how cute that whole moment was.
Very shy when asking if she can tickle you, her shyness makes you feel a bit better about it.
Very clumsy ler too, pls help her
With her new knowledge, she probably now wonders if Akutagawa is ticklish too-
Hirotsu:
He can and will ask if he can tickle you like a shy school boy.
Surprisingly gentle and always asks if you're enjoying it, which is embarrassing-
"Am I doing this right...?"
Bonus points if you guide his hands and give him pointers on what techniques to use on which spots.
Gin:
Unlike Akutagawa, she is more cultured when it comes to tickling.
She finds it very endearing that you trusted her enough with something so intimate.
Very gentle but y'know, she sneaky, so expect surprise tickles constantly.
And her fingers are very agile which makes it even better worse
Tachihara:
The whole tickling ordeal would make him feel very nostalgic (if y'know, y'know) except now he has the upper hand.
I can imagine he was constantly at the receiving end of tickles. But now he has someone who willingly allows themselves to get tickled.
Loves the feeling of power he gets now that you gave him this info. Will constantly pin you down and go to town on your spots.
Q:
He'd probably feel ecstatic that finally someone let's him tickle them willingly.
Probably doesn't know what he's doing but is okiee you'll guide him, even if it's embarrassing going into detail on how he should tickle.
Will constantly try to sneak up behind you and taze your sides or smth, but will usually ask if he can full-blown tickle you
Kaji:
Finds it very cute.
Will take any opportunity to torment you.
If you're trying to reach something on a high shelf, his hands will shoot under your arms. Not looking? A quick hip squeeze. Casually resting on the couch? He can and will jump on you and go to town.
He's just a tickling menace, but he does keep your boundaries in mind.
Oda:
As a man with a lot of kids running around, he knows exactly how to tickle you.
He don't even bother asking, he just goes straight to the action.
And if you dare complain, he will pull the "but you like it" card
He's the type of ler that would tease you without trying.
"Your hips are so sensitive when I pinch them like this..." just a mere observation, while you die under his wiggly fingers-
Ango: @nataliewritez
That was probably the first time you've ever seen him smile so warmly.
He finds it very adorable and doesn't try to hide his excitement.
Will ask if he can tickle you like the gentleman he is and will respect your boundaries.
But that won't stop him from teasing you to oblivion.
"Aww, did I hit a good spot? Your reactions are adorable~"

Sorry about your gay pirates, pirate brainrotters. If it helps, here are some free gay pirates of my own to fill your pirate-shaped hole.
Tumblr media
I liked Our Flag Means Death. I enjoyed S1, and I’m looking forward to seeing S2, particularly as I understand that Lucius lives, and Nathan Foad might be one of the funniest human beings on the planet. I liked its silliness, its cheerful disregard for historical accuracy, and how every ship seemed to become a sort of sartorial TARDIS for Stede Bonnet’s expansive wardrobe. It was a lot of fun, but it never succeeded in burrowing all the way down into my heart the way that other things do, because the gay pirate space in my heart was already occupied.
And the gay pirates in question were mine, so obviously I’m going to love them more. You’re always going to love your own children, especially when said child is a snarling transvestite monster-baby like Jem Exley.
I don’t know when Jem first appeared in my head exactly, but I can identify the fleeting larval thought that turned into the all-consuming brainworm of Reckless. I was writing something about reef diving off the coast of Florida, and the instructor character made a mention of pirate wrecks. And I saw them. A clear flash of the pirates. One was your typical romance novel sexy pirate, and the other was a fascinating binfire of a human being, flintlocked and loaded, gnarly eighteenth century cosmetics melting off his face in the Caribbean heat. I knew immediately that they were lovers – terrible, messy, co-dependent, and borderline backstabbing lovers – and that their story would come back and bother me at a later date.
And with that I forgot about them.
Sort of.
Jem kept coming back, though. He came back in clay pipes, banyan robes, in the shoes and combs and gloves I saw at the Fashion Museum in Bath. He wandered back by way of Monteverdi, Henry Fielding, and drag queen sass, and when characters keep popping back into your head like that you know you’re pretty much doomed to write the damned book.
So I did, and I had a fucking blast. I read pirate books, listened to pirate podcasts, wallowed happily in Baroque music. As a bonus, because the book takes place so early in the eighteenth century, a lot of the seventeenth century bleeds over into it, and I love the seventeenth century. Like most interesting times, it was undoubtedly horrible to live through, but I had so much fun making sure that the scars of the Civil Wars were still visible in both Jem and Henry’s backgrounds. The lively Restoration theatre scene makes an appearance at the start of the book, and the Duke of Monmouth – one of many seventeenth-century candidates for the ultimate Fuck-Around-and-Find-Out award – is namechecked multiple times as a plot point. Beady-eyed history nerds will also spot a hostile polydactyl cat named after a loathed seventeenth-century despot, who also – happily – fucked around and very much found out. (The despot, that is. Not to spoiler, but the cat lives and thrives, and goes on to beat up iguanas in the sequel, Code Noir.)
Ultimately, though, the fun I had with this book comes down to playing around with old romance novel trope of the virgin captured by the pirate. What if the pirate captor was the virgin in this story? It wasn’t too much of a stretch, especially since so many pirates were so very, very young, and that gave me the jumping off point for the character of Henry Dyer. He’s a kid, only nineteen at the start of the story. Yes, eighteenth-century nineteen is a lot different from twenty-first-century nineteen, but biology remains the same. He’s still going to be subject to the slings and arrows of outrageous hormones, even if he’s been at sea since he was fifteen years old. And he’s confused. He doesn’t fully understand why his dick doesn’t work properly in the brothels, although he hangs around and helps the girls with their book-keeping, since he always had a good head for figures.
It takes Jem – a cross-dressing sex-worker who is quite happy to be mistaken for a woman if he thinks it might suit his latest scam – to unconfuse Henry. Once he knows what he wants, he goes for it, and what you end up with is two uncompromising weirdos finding a way to be themselves in a world that wants them dead. I get into this more in the sequel, but I wanted to emphasise that this is a horrendous time to be alive if you’re not a straight, white male with a fat bank balance, and preferably some kind of title. Aristocratic Jem ticks several of those boxes, and yet still gets sent packed onto a ship for the colonies in the hope that he will die discreetly of yellow fever somewhere. Alive, in England, he’s an embarrassment who keeps doing drag, sucking dick, and stealing everything that isn’t on fire or nailed down. And not the respectable kind of stealing, either, the kind you do with an invading army and a Union Jack. No, this is the poor people sort of theft, the kind they hang people for.
Meanwhile Henry, originally groomed for the church but too clever for his own good, arrives at the reasonable conclusion that he’d rather not believe in a God who seems to keep letting people make such a mess of things in His name. He falls into piracy like so many others, when his merchant ship gets captured by a pirate crew who make him a much better offer. And he likes it. He’s good at it. Nobody cares if he believes in God or not. He gets to work with the things he does believe in, the things he can see and feel, like the wind and the tides, and it makes him a superb sailor. It also, when he gets there, makes him a superb lover.
And that’s what it’s all about, in the end. This story may be messy, violent, crime-riddled, and full of so much vomit that I actually put a content warning for emetophobes in the front, but it’s still a love story. And if the world isn’t going to let you love who you love? Well, you’re just going to have to be gay and do crimes. Lots, and lots of crimes.
And they do. (Spoilers: they’re pirates.)

00q fic recs: bamf!q
an extra long post because i have been on a bamf!q binge
1. the guardian of progress by thestalwartheart (@thestalwartheart)
Bond runs his hand over the lock of the gun case. “It’s the best thing they’ve done in decades, making you Quartermaster of this place.”
-----
A re-imagining of SPECTRE in which Q comes up against the perils of Smart Blood and the workplace politics of being the youngest Quartermaster in history.
~~~
honestly q being a fantastic quartermaster is just mwah. the way he takes on responsibility and looks out for his agents and doesn’t crumble no matter what just makes me feel so much respect and admiration i cannot
2. We're the Smoke Where There's Fire by Only_1_Truth
Q's world gets turned upside-down when MI6 decides that they want to recruit him. As a uniquely powerful magic-user, Q can usually handle himself very well, but will he stand a chance when it's just him against multiple highly-trained MI6 agents tasked to bring him in?
All Q knows is that this is going to end in flames - and that's before another stranger gets thrown into the equation.
~~~
i have no idea how i managed to go this long without reccing this author’s bamf!q fics but ngl each and every au they have features bamf!00q and i am here for it ++ superpowers??? yes???
3. Noster nostri by Only_1_Truth
What if Q didn’t run away - what if he was disowned? What if Q had time to learn glyphs - and applied them to something else? What if instead of becoming a hooker, Q became a Summoner?
(Set in the same AU as Part 1 of this series, "The Magic of Christmas," this story follows the same world-logic - but can be read as a stand-alone.)
~~~
q being a bamf magic man is such a guilty pleasure of mine + demon!bond is chef’s kiss
4. Sleep When We're Dead by Only_1_Truth
Bond has been kidnapped and tortured before, but this is the first time he's been with Q, and they've both taken the fall when a mission went wrong. Caught with no hope of rescue in sight, Bond realizes how terrifying it can be when villains go for the weakest link... and that weakest link isn't you.
~~~
q withstanding torture like a tough cookie is such a yes and bond beating ppl up for hurting q is also such a yes
5. Blue-Eyed Monster by Only_1_Truth
Yes, this version of 007 was a terrifyingly smart agent, and M wondered long and often whether it had been a good idea to promote him to the position. Usually, the title was the dangerous part - being 007 meant deadliness - but this time, M feared that a certain man with ice-blue eyes and scruffy blonde hair had dragged in more danger to the title than it had previously possessed
Enter MI6's new Quartermaster: an unassuming, bespectacled genius with no mind for subterfuge but plenty of genius behind a dry smile. Curious 00-agents and young boffins don't always mix in predictable ways...
~~~
q holding his own against bond!1!1!1!!1!
6. this madness of miracles (escaping the burning wait) by Rosslyn
“Oh shut up,” Q snaps, irate. “Don’t doubt me. I can think of forty-seven ways to fix this, just off the top of my head. Get off the island.”
~~~
q being the boss? yes

hello my rarepair queen! i had to send 🛳️ to see if you can remember where your love of rarepairs originated! (or any other question of your choice if you have already had this one 😘)
You know me too well babes, I love this one! As I know you probably won’t mind me going over the top here I’m gonna mention a few different ships/fandoms. I had to check my old account’s bookmarks for this and might even revisit some of them later, what a nice trip down memory lane!
🛳️ a fic that brought you aboard a new ship:
HP rare pairs
As most of you know Harry/Teddy is my fave rare pair and I have to thank @lqtraintracks for gently introducing me to this ship with the hot and sweet When It Alteration Finds. I adore the mix of gender swap + mild dub con (is it tho) + wall sex, and this Teddy, LQT’s Teddy, owns my whole heart. Years later their work continues to shape my perception and feelings about this beloved ship ♥️
I’ve read a bunch of Snarry PWPs for the sake of problematic smut when I was younger, but the fic that really made my heart beat faster and sold me on this ship was Cybele’s series If You Are Prepared. It might have been the first tragedy novel I’ve read and the final arc left a big impression on me, I still remember the utter devastation and heartbreak.
Aim For My Heart written by a talented 🐯 has lived rent free in my head and heart since 2021 and brought so many hidden feelings to the surface, not only about Dronarry but also about myself. I consider it a perfect fic when it comes to poly negotiations and a seminal work for this triad: nuanced, complicated but full of longing and tenderness. I measure all triad fics I read by this one.
Other fandoms
I’ve only watched S1 / S2 of Supernatural and never really considered exploring the fandom - until I accidentally stumbled upon Dollylux’s masterpiece The Ballad of the Invisible Boy and was utterly ruined for any other ship that wasn’t Wincest (sorry, Destiel!).
Blue-Eyed Monster by Only_1_Truth had me completely obsessed with Bond/Q (007) one paragraph in. I remember being so captivated after reading this fic that I immediately binged all of their works.
Delayed (or, Why Kakashi Is Never On Time) by TJ_Dragonblade is a feral PWP that made me go all 🤯 and consider Kakashi/Gai (Naruto) for the first time. I am picky about this ship and don’t read them very often but I was able to find some amazing fics and this one is still one of my favourites, I reread it all the time.
Send me fic asks!

shaoyuan my best boy i love him i want to see him SUFFER
he's definitely not my Most most dnd pc (opal has GOTTA take the cake there) but my GOD he's is definitely Most in his own way
he's a high level wizard (lapsed) he's the BEST OLDER SIBLING YOU CAN HAVE* (*some terms and conditions may apply) he has an EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ROCK (pebble with eyes he drew on; its name is Geoff [short for "googley-eyed fucker"]) he's SLEEPING WITH THE PRIME MINISTER (prime minister equivalent in the world) (yes said prime minister is married) he's even DEPRESSED
okay jokes aside i fucking love him. i want to eat him. i want to turn him into a gumball and gnaw on him. i want to shred this motherfucker into a fire and see what happens. more under the cut because this got WAY more long than i expected it to KSJFDH
mechanically, he's level 4 rogue (subclass pending) / 2 warlock (undying subclass). by subclass pending, i mean that i picked one for him, but quickly realized i didn't like that rogue subclass very much, and now i'm going to see if i can find one that's a little less underwhelming and thematically appropriate
he used to be an extremely high level wizard (subclass also pending, but it's not super relevant now, so i'll do it laaaaater), because he was essentially the in-universe equivalent of a career tribute from the hunger games (AKA trained from birth to win Dogfights For Children). unfortunately, these Dogfights For Children were for specific children, AKA his family and some other families.
second unfortunately: he has an identical twin sibling.
third unfortunately: shaoyuan is a fucking tryhard.
a sane man and sibling would hear "you need to murder your twin, repeatedly and brutally, for the good of the family and its social status" and go, what the fuck??? no!!!
shaoyuan is not a sane man nor sibling. he goes hard and never home. he's either giving 100% or he's fucking dead. if you give him a target to aim for, the rest of the world will cease to exist, as far as he's concerned.
shaoyuan turned himself into an avatar of fear and terror, and tortured his fellow-aged peers (twin included) just so that he would have the psychological edge in all these Dogfights For Children.
his preferred method of destruction? acid. to quote one math you mercer, "only the most fucked up of assassin's kill their targets with acid!"
i agree, mr. mercer. that's why i made him do it 😊
anyway, the Dogfights For Children start at age 11 and end at age 18, and by the time he reaches the end, he's figured out, "oops, i'm kind of an awful person!" especially because that doesn't stop him from still going fucking hard and melting people to death that last time (even if the fear in his twin's eyes has haunted him for years now).
and then he goes home, sets his spellbook on fire, gets an accountant accreditation and bounces so that he can avoid his twin and also all his own psychological trauma forever thank youuuu
the world is post-apocalyptic, so you have bastions of society in major cities, then outposts leading from one to another for semi-safe travel purposes, but generally speaking, leaving the cities is a Bad Idea for most people. shaoyuan quickly becomes very good at stabbing (rogue) in order to not get killed by the post-apocalyptic monsters.
as far as society is concerned, he was like, an up-and-coming young wizard with a lot of talent and potential, and then he just fucking... washed out! he just fucking flopped! he's some mediocre accountant that makes the stupid decision of making his career depending on wandering out into Apocalypse Central! all his coworkers thinks he's nuts and/or gonna come back in a body bag (if at all!!!!)
meanwhile, his twin (shaoquan with a q) is doing pretty good 😊they went to college, then law school, and is now a full-on lawyer! they've also gone to fucking therapy like a reasonable person and is working on... you know, all the terrible things that's happened to them, as opposed to repressing it, and is doing pretty decent now in all respects.
meanwhile, shaoyuan is going on his tenth year of being the gold medal champion for the Trauma Repression Olympics TM, and recently just almost drowned in a river. this is significant, because the drowning was successful. he just didn't die, because a god fished him out.
this god is also his great great great (x a lot) grandfather.
yes, this is news to him too.
it turns out there's a whole lot of shit going on in the divine side of the world that he previously wasn't privy to, and now he is. because he almost died. and while he was busy almost dying, a spiritual manifestation of regret merged with him while on the boundaries of life and death, and now all his regrets are Literally haunting him, and have given him a turbo trauma chicken Second Forme (also known as the undying warlock's Form of Dread) (thank you trigun fandom for that phrasing. i'll never forget it.)
oh ym god shaoyuan is like a traumatized washed-up danny phantom.
anyways, his great (x many) grandfather tells him he should try and get unfused with this shade. which, considering shaoyuan's coping skills start and end with "conceal don't feel" is not going. great
ALL THIS WORDS AND I HAVEN'T EVEN MENTIONED THE THING THAT KEEPS HIM GOING EVERY DAY
[insert "do it for her" meme]
so, shaoyuan has two older sisters he doesn't really talk to (also twins). he also has a twin sibling he definitely doesn't really talk to.
most importantly, he has two very, very baby siblings (also twins) that he dotes on, that he would do anything for. and it haunts him, because he knows exactly what "anything" means for him. it means anything. that k.a. applegate about the definition of ruthlessness? yeah. he doesn't let himself have true goals anymore, because he knows that if he lets himself slip, he has no compunctions about doing heinous shit, as long as it brings him that much closer to achieving his goals.
however. his baby siblings, nianxiu and nianping, the babies of the family (they're like 17-18 years younger than him), are on track to be shoved into the Baby Dogfights blender, once they hit age 11.
and he's not going to let that happen. that's the sole thing keeping him tethered to this plane of existence, basically. "i won't let that happen to them." it keeps him going, and he's been using his connections between cities to arrange things to get them out safely, before their turn at Baby Dogfights can happen
and i cannot fucking wait, because shaoyuan is going to go full "caleb at the vergesson, crunching guards into naught but flesh and mush with gravity magic" in order to get them out
i just love me a character who seems one way on the outside (tired, depressed, washed-out once-prodigy, spineless babysitter) turns out to be infinitely More on the inside AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
i'm posting this before tumblr can eat the draft. more to come FOR FUCKIN SURE

Part 4 - The Oceanaut - AO3
Part 1 - The breath of chaos
Part 2 - The Green-eyed Monster
Part 3 - Old Debts
Tumblr media
Fandom: James Bond / Rami Malek
Chapters: 11/20
Characters : James Bond, M, Q, Nomi, Eve Moneypenny, OFC Tatjana Safin, Lyutsifer Safin, OMC Luc Dupont, OFC Marie Dupont, OMC Matvei & Maksemilian Safin
Relationship : James Bond / Eve Moneypenny, Safin/OFC Character Tatjana, James Bond/ new OFC
Warning : Lemon🍋, manipulation, death/violence💀, smutish🍑 , Dom!Safin🖤, NON CON⚠️!!
Rating : MA
Gene: Crime / Romance
Summary: James Bond retirement on the Bahamas is calm and peaceful. SPECTRE is defeated, Lyutsifer Safin dead and Bond's substitute family - Tatjana, the twins and Marie - with him. But the circumstances oft the surprised suicide of the chairman from the BREEF ( Bahama Reef Environmental Educational Foundation) brings the former agent back to work.
11. Deep Observations
The one-man submarine operated slow, but effective. The grey painted machine floated between the small swarm of Reef sharks, camouflaged by the water and the ocean colour. The sharks moved in a simple balett attitude, circling the deeper laying Reef in search for a meal.
Small lilac and orange coloured shoel of fish swam between the different corals, ignoring the grey shadows upon them.
The scientist inside the submarine moved with the sharks along the Reef, while taking probs of the water and the Reef overgrown. The waterproof camera recorded every move.
Safin sat in his operation room and watched the send pictures of the cam, his fingers drumming inpatient on his desk. His face looked thinner as usual in the night light of the ops. His pox scared cheeks deep, his skin unhealthy yellow. A frown was glued to his face while he observed the incoming recordings. He knew the sub could not be quicker, alas he longed for the results.
Behind him stepped Luc out of the metal hatch to enter. As his right hand it was Luc's privilege to join Safin at any time. The men had lived through good times and bad times, but never felt apart. Safin gave him a quick look, before focusing again on the screen.
“This part of the Reef shows already some perish of sea anemones”, Safin started.
“That would explain the reduction of fish swarms.”, Luc said, stepping closer behind his boss.
Safin gave Luc some space to look for himself, as he pointed at the screen.
“Dying Alcyonacea, organ-pipe corals already growing to stone ... Sea sponges that stopped working.”
His low and rasp voice fainted, the anger as the hint of sadness clearly to hear.
Luc inhaled deep. Like Safin, he was already deeply occupied with this new task - and it was surprising heavier then any poisoned gas.
“This Reef is dying.”, he diagnosed.
His words hung like a threat in the air, before Safin allowed himself to nod.
“Yes.”, he whispered. “I rather would wait for the full examples and test results to make this conclusion - but you are right.”
Luc dared to rest a hand on Safin's shoulder. He squeezed it fondly.
“We will find out what to do.”
Safin stared a moment on the screen, the fingertips of his left hand covering shortly his mouth, as he was in deep thoughts.
Eventually he sighed and composed himself. Getting up he catched Luc's eyes.
Pushing his hands Crossway into his sleeves he leans at his chair. He watched his right hands face keenly.
“What would you propose?”
“Finding a local.”, Luc answered promptly. “Not a scientist, but a person who knows the reefs, probably dives since childhood. Someone with real knowledge of the Reef and the lifeforms.”
Safin pursed his lips and nodded slowly.
“Someone with real ideas how to stop the destruction - or at least help to nourish the surviving corals and Reef life forms?”
“Something like that.”
Safin felt a stinch of headache behind his eyes and pressed for a moment thumb and middle finger on his eyes.
“It is late, Lyutsifer.”, Luc said as a reaction to Safin's gesture. His voice was unusual soft, so Safin gave him a surprised look.
“I missed dinner, right?”
“Tatjana didn't mind.”, Luc said. “As long as you don't forget to join her in bed.”
Safin purred his lips to one of his weird smiles. The idea of an employee to speak about a subject of such private matter was unheard. Safin would not allow it - except with Luc. Luc was - together with Marie - a family member.
“Well, perhaps I should find my way to bed then. Before I get a scolding from Tatjana - or worst, Marie.”, he chuckled. Turning to the screen he switched it out.
“I want the sample results after breakfast by 800.”
Luc smirked and saltured lazy.
“Aye.”

Is there.. I mean, do you two have a plan? Without pressing too hard... Do you believe, fully, that you'll be able to reason with Cedar, Q? Or a backup plan if things start to turn?
Quintrell steadies herself, straightening up. "I can reason with him," she says. "JJ can help."
"What are you intending to do?" asks Marvin, directed at his brother, but Adrienne continues.
"Cedar and I have been with Creighton since we were kids. He used to be torn up over the things he was being made to do, but as time has gone on, he's... become the cruelty. But I know he's still in there."
Chase blinks, a slow realization coming over his face. "You've been together since kids," he says. "He's your brother."
Adrienne gives him a look like he's just told her his dog was hit by a car. She looks away again a second later, breathing in.
"Creighton took us in after our parents were killed... although the killer was never caught."
She turns slowly towards Creighton again, nostrils flaring. "Wasn't that kind of you? Wasn't it a coincidence? The most powerful magical child in England... and you got the chance to raise him."
There's no guilt in Creighton's gaze, then, no pity, no concern. He's pure fury, staring her in the eyes. Jackie's already locked the magical collar around his throat, and it's a good thing, because there's no telling what a gaze like that could do.
"You took my parents," she says. "And then you took me and my brother, and you turned him into this. But he's still in there. He's never hurt me before, never commanded me. I still mean something to him. He'll see that I've turned on Creighton. I'll remind him of everything he used to hate about this order. And I'll tell him who really killed our parents."
She turns back to the brothers and Max, that fierce look in her face again, though her voice is small. "And then he has to see reason. If he doesn't... he's not my brother anymore. And I'll kill him."
Her hand goes to her gun, tucked back into her bag. "I'll shoot him in the head, I will. Sometimes, that's the best thing you can do for a real monster."
You see Marvin staring dead-eyed at her bag, arms crossed over his chest. After a moment, he turns and walks out of the room.

More Ben Grimm Transforms So Much You Guys
Part 2 of my series starting here: https://ewzzy.tumblr.com/post/690688431790096384/ben-grimm-transforms-so-much-you-guys
Last we checked in with the everlovin’ blue eyed Thing he had tried a potion from Reed that turned him human for five whole pages in FF #11.
Tumblr media
Five issues later Reed surprises him with another potion. Within 2 pages we see him orange again with no explanation! Again!
Tumblr media
In FF #17 Reed has been actually putting in the work on a new potion. You can tell because he hasn’t shaved. The big question: how long will it last??
Tumblr media
As you can guess, it fails on the very next page captioned as “minutes later”.
Tumblr media
A few issues later in #19 The Thing is forced into servitude by the future pharaoh Rama Tut. Mysteriously the rays of a sun almost 5000 years in the past has the exact properties to reverse his transformation.
Tumblr media
Two pages later, removed from the burning rays of the sun, Ben turns into the Thing again and collapses.
Tumblr media
Then in FF #23 one of Dr Doom’s hired goons fires a “Cosmic Beam that temporarily turns Ben human. Next time we see him he’s orange and rocky but chained to a wall.
Tumblr media
Alchemist scam artist Diablo gives The Thing a half dose of of a potion that turns Ben half human.
Tumblr media
Too bad Diablo betrays him with a potion that, instead of finishing the job, turns him rocky all over again.
Tumblr media
In FF #32 Reed uses a massive machine to turn Ben human instead of his usual potion.
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, even though the effect is permanent, it also erases Ben’s memories. Thankfully, another blast returns his memory and his familiar form.
Tumblr media
Now we’re to Ben’s most famous transformations in FF #38-40. I knew about these before reading the comics. In a fateful battle with the Frightful Four the impossible Q-Bomb explodes and removes the powers of the entire Fantastic Four.
Tumblr media
To keep up appearances, Reed frantically puts together simulations of their powers including a robotic remote controlled Thing. In the classic story And a Blind Man Shall Lead Them Daredevil assists in a raid on the Dr Doom conquered FF headquarters.
Tumblr media
In The Battle of the Baxter Building Ben is ready to stay powerless forever but Reed knows they’re all dead if he doesn’t turn his friend back into the Thing.
Tumblr media
Enraged by his rocky return, The Thing viciously attacks Doom and crushes his hands in his metal gauntlets.
Tumblr media
It seemed like the transformation was permanent at this point, but 11 issues later in the classic This Man This Monster a stranger uses his “Duplication Apparatus” to steal the identity of The Thing. Unlike Ben, he wants that life.
Tumblr media
14 pages later, not knowing the tragic story of the would be hero, Ben transforms back into The Thing once again.
I’ve been compiling these as I read through the original stories and I’ve been shocked at how often this happens. Reading FF comics in this millennium it can seem like Reed struggled for years to try and transform Ben, but it happened all the time from stuff like getting hit by lightning or just completely at random!
