Fluffy Alphabet: Leon Kennedy

You know what time it is folks--it's time for my fluffy alphabet with whatever fictional character I'm hyperfixating on let's goooo

You can imagine whatever Leon for this, it applies to almost all in my opinion

A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

When it comes to you, he'll pretty much do anything. At a certain point in your relationship, Leon just craves your presence, as if you are his battery when he needs to recharge. It doesn't matter what you two do: converse about mundane things, cuddle, chores around the apartment. All he cares about is if you're there, safe, and by his side. You could even be doing something as simple as reading a book. He'll feel blessed to simply be there. At the idea he can even see you like this, no danger in sight, no need to grab his gun or knife or anything that can remotely be regarded as a weapon. Just normal domestic intimacy. He craves it so bad that the memory of you reading or talking or listening to him vent about a bad day reminds him why he's still going.

B eauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

He admires your ability to keep up with him. Not just his personality--the guy knows he's not the most pleasant man to be around if he's grumpy or going through a mood swing. Everything. His trauma, his work, his habits that he can't seem to shake no matter how hard he tries. Leon has so much on his plate, yet it keeps piling on. It's why when he found himself interested in you in more than a friendly manner, it scared him a little. At the idea of opening up to someone, allowing them to see parts of himself he'd rather not let see the light of day.

It's why, when you saw those parts of him, the night terrors, the memories of Raccoon City, and you simply grabbed them and kissed them tenderly, he was amazed. He swore he fell harder and faster to the point he was scared of smacking the ground. He finds your stubbornness and persistence admirable, well when it's not leading you down the road of trouble.

C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

Leon isn't the best at wording things correctly or appropriately. He cracks jokes during moments he shouldn't, shoves whips and sharp edges into sentences that really shouldn't be there. He's not great at receiving comfort himself. He's not used to it. Leon's been alone for a good chunk of his life and grew to push his problems away or ignore them, then actually talking to anyone.

So, witnessing you hold your face in your hands, beyond exhausted, his heart shatters, and all he wants to do is hold you. Though he over analyzes the situation a bit. Would you want him to hold you? Would you even like that at this point in time? What could he even say to make you feel better, to make you smile even just a little? Eventually he caves, asking if it's okay to hold you and once you confirm it is, his strong arms wrap around your form and he hopes desperately you feel comforted in some way.

D reams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

If he's honest, all he wants is a normal life. That's what he's wanted ever since he was younger: a life of fixing fences and pipes that burst, maybe help clean up cat litter in the mix. He thought his life would be normal when he assigned himself to the Raccoon City branch of police work, that he'd be a regular cop scolding teenagers that loitered in front of the station too long. Naturally, that wasn't the case at all. Now, he's at the President's beck and call, the DSO's puppet, and labeled a weapon by many.

In the future, he tries to envision you in it as much as he's hesitant to let you in at first. Eventually what made him want to fight for that future was when you moved into his apartment so casually, as if you were a missing puzzle piece in his life. That normal, picket fence life was his end goal and he would fight tooth and nail to see it come to fruition.

E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

He's both, but he tries to be more passive in certain situations. Leon doesn't like the idea of trying to take control of everything, and only does it when he feels he needs to. Leon knows you can take care of yourself, regardless if you're an agent or not. You've got a voice, too. However, if he notices you're uncomfortable or you're actively trying to get out of something, he'll play along and shuffle you out of it. The last thing he wants is for you to think he's trying to control what you do, since you don't do that to him.

F ight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

Leon hates fighting you. Sometimes he just refuses to and hopes letting you think things over will defuse the bomb you're about to become. A thing about him is he never raises his voice and if he's drawn to that point, his volume is only increased so he could get your attention. He hates the idea of yelling at you; having dealt with hearing his parents constantly at each other's throats. It makes him feel ill at the idea, of shouting at you so he could get his point across. What would that accomplish, making you shrivel into a corner, hurting and pleading for him to stop.

He's very easy to forgive, especially if you apologized immediately after. Leon knows how easily people give into emotions, and if you two were arguing about his work, or about how he's barely around, Leon wouldn't even blame you for that. If it's stressful for him, he can only imagine what it's like for you to see him so stressed and not be able to help.

G ratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

Leon's not able to put into words just how grateful he is that he met you. If it weren't for you, he swears he would've gone insane and part of him is terrified at that realization. That a person could have that much effect on someone's life. You've stuck with him so long he wonders why he was ever worried in the first place. Leon's not the best with words and the idea of telling you out of the blue how grateful he is he has you makes him flustered. He shows how grateful he is through certain actions: hugging you close from behind, kissing your temple over and over, nuzzling into you despite your protests that it tickles.

He's grateful he can see your smile and hear your laugh, because even the smallest thing can make him feel better.

H onesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

Oh God, he wishes he could share everything he's been through with you. Depending on if you knew about Raccoon City or not, he'd most likely share that old wound eventually, but anything to do with work he's physically not allowed to spill. Again, unless you're an agent, you pretty much have no choice but to be left in the dark. He hates it. Makes him feel like less of a partner because he's stuck between a rock and a hard place.

It causes a bit of friction, and he feels it hang in the air some days. Some days he wonders if you've figured out what he's been doing for 10 straight years, some days he thinks you secretly have figured it out but just won't tell him.

I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

You gave him a harsh reality check about caring for another person, and that inspires him to do better with what he's got. Not that he ever thought being in a relationship would be easy, but you definitely answered his question of how hard it would be some days. He wants to be there for you, and hopes you recognize it. Leon's always had trouble opening up to people, because when he trusted some, they tore that trust away so fast he couldn't even blink. Sometimes he reaches out to you and then flinches at a flashback of red.

You inspired him to try to pry open that box he locked his heart in.

J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

He doesn't like the idea of getting jealous, even bitterly hating the word. Though, he's human, so naturally he will get jealous. It takes a bit of pushing at him to get him into that corner. Someone else flirting with you? He's more concerned about you and if you're comfortable and if he needs to intervene. They put their arms around you? Well, if you know them sure, but they're kinda being too friendly. They wiggle their eyebrows and make a suggestive action? Yeah, he's gonna say something.

If you ask him about it, he immediately shuts down the idea of jealousy.

"Don't get jealous on me now."

"I wasn't. I just didn't like how they were rubbing themselves on you."

It's only until later on as he thinks about it that makes him afraid. He's scared of losing you and the idea of you possibly leaving him for someone else wraps around him for awhile. He's still terrible at telling you how he's feeling sometimes.

K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

The first kiss with him was endearing. This isn't his first rodeo, he's kissed people before, but he probably wouldn't classify himself as an amazing kisser. He couldn't help himself anymore, with you looking at him like he's an idol, like he could never do any wrong, he grabbed you gently, asking if this was okay, before finally giving in. He kissed you so softly, as if he was holding a feather that could be blown away by the wind.

You had laughed a little and his brows knitted.

"You can kiss me again, you know."

He took your offer instantly, kissing you harder in the process. That sealed the deal.

L ove Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

His love confession was more of an action and then a question. Leon didn't exactly know how to express the fact he had feelings for you, so he didn't verbally say it, but he said it all the time with his actions and he didn't even realize it. How he'd linger too close to you during mundane moments of the day, how he'd immediately jump at the chance to help you with anything. He'd stupidly wonder how people around him knew he was head over heels when his body kept showing it.

Though, it seemed like you didn't know either. When he finally gathered himself to ask you on a date, you looked surprised.

M arriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

It takes awhile for him to get around the idea. At first, the idea of commitment to that degree makes him anxious. One screw up could lead to the downfall of a relationship in the making for years. The history of you two would be wiped clean and he'd loathe over it for God knows how long. So, at first, he brushes off the idea of marrying you.

And then you moved in with him. Started helping him around his apartment, lying in the same bed, and something just clicks with him. Maybe he does want that with you, but would you want that with him?

He doesn't propose outright, but alludes to it with a question. (He never liked the idea of getting down on one knee.)

N icknames - What do they call their s/o?

The standard nicknames: baby, babe, sweetheart. On rare occasions he'll toss out 'love' to test it on his tongue and see if it fits. 'Dear' when he's trying to annoy you. 'Darling' during intimate moments. He knows that riles you up.

O n Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

He's different, but also the same. Even when Leon is in love, he attempts to keep that same stoic expression to his co-workers and even to you if he works with you. Though, obviously someone is willing to point it out that there's gotta be something between the two of you. Hunnigan is willing to be that person, buzzing in his ear about how he acts differently when you're around but he's quick to deny it. As Leon looks back, the fact he got defensive would've given off alarms to her.

P DA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

He's willing to hold your hand and kiss you gently on the cheek or lips when he's confident. When he's not at that moment in time, he'll just hold your hand and hope you won't tease him for being more reserved.

Q uirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.

He can read you like a book. He'll know when something is wrong or when you're nervous. Leon grew to read people's body language over the years. He watches carefully, taking notes in his head about how you may be fidgeting or how you're breathing kinda fast. He can absolutely tell if you're angry at him and he immediately wants to quell that anger as soon as possible.

He'll ask if you're okay daily to check in with you, and then notice you also ask him the same question. You both can read each other pretty well.

R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Clich�� or rather creative?

Leon's kinda silly when it comes to being romantic. He's extremely cliche and cheesy, and he knows it. He does it on purpose, but not because he thinks it's cool or hip these days. He does it because it never fails to make you laugh or at least smile. He'll regard a glare or a look of bewilderment and just continue to run his charade, shrugging all the same.

He doesn't want to stop. Not yet, at least.

S upport - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

Of course, he believes in you. What partner wouldn't believe in the person they love? He wants you to be happy, just as you harbor the same thought process for him. Seeing you doubt yourself, your abilities... it makes him feel that he's failed. That he hasn't been encouraging you enough. (Even if you constantly remind him just how much he's done for you.) He'll put a hand on your shoulder and squeeze it, lightly telling you he's got your back.

T hrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

Leon's most certainly not afraid to try anything new, even in the bedroom. No matter how big or small the suggestion, he's always willing to, at the very least, apply it to your relationship. Even if you get all shy and try to walk across eggshells. He thinks it's cute and endearing that you want to work on or try different things out. His heart feels full at the fact you trust him so to let him know how you're feeling and what you've been thinking about.

U nderstanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

Leon often feels that he's too empathetic. It's affected him before, many times in fact. He's acknowledged this himself in the past when he was drinking and wondered what would've happened if he refused the ultimatum the government offered. What would've happened to Sherry? Would he even still be alive at that point? Would Sherry?

He knows you too well. To the point that he can sense what you're about to be feeling despite your stubbornness. You tell him you're okay, that you'll be fine, when he knows it's the exact opposite. You're not fine, and you won't be fine until you talk it out.

V alue - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

Besides work, you become the most important aspect of his life. There's not a moment that goes by where you don't flash across his mind. Leon will often think of you during harder missions, wondering what you are doing at that moment, if you missed him at all. He knows you do, but he dodges that answer to avoid feeling more guilty than he does.

He'll start pondering about your decisions and merge them into his own actions. Wondering how you'd react to situations and what you would do if you were in his shoes. You influence him in more ways than one.

W ild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

He loves simple dates. Riding on his bike with you hugging his waist, going to the beach, and just smelling the salt from the sea, your hand in his own. He sees you collect a sand dollar, and then he rolls his eyes playfully but knows he will often think on this moment at work. Of how childish your grin was and how he felt joy at you healing your inner child.

He enjoys simple things, perhaps to peel away from the horrors of what he's seen. To pretend for one second his life was actually normal.

X OXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

The man is touch-starved to a maximum degree. Even before the two of you started seeing each other, Leon had already begun envisioning how his lips would feel on yours, and it made him feel gross, as if he was a pervert. He even imagined how good your hugs felt and how your figure would feel as it slipped into his embrace.

After he told you how he felt and got the sense you were comfortable? He couldn't keep his hands off of you. And not even in a sexual way. (Though, that too.) He adores cuddling you, being the big spoon. Leon wouldn't even mind being the small spoon, but he's adamant on cagging you in his biceps. He wants you to feel safe.

Y earning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

He's used to being alone. Used to coming home to an empty apartment, listening to the echoes of his own footsteps as he's awaiting his next call. So when you're away on work trips, he tries not to let it get to him. After all, how unfair would it be if he bothered you at work when you couldn't do the same to him? Once you're home, he just pulls you close as a greeting, mumbling how he missed you.

When he's at work, when you're not allowed to call him at all, it's a different story. A different type of loneliness. Not being able to hear your voice once just fills him with a sadness only those in love could explain. Leon has to force himself to think about the details of meetings or when he should reload his gun next.

Z eal - Are they willing to go to great lenghts for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

Leon would kill for you or die for you if you simply ask, and that scares him. He's not a violent person by nature and is appalled by those who hurt others as easily as they breathe. But, when he sees you, this odd, protective energy springs out of him, and he immediately tosses all common sense out the window. You make him stupid and reckless, and he's willing to do anything for you.

It's what terrifies him the most.

Summary: When their crush is too oblivious/dumb.

A/n - I'm oblivious as fuck to.

Tokyo revengers ˚｡𖦹

Character:- Sanzu, Izana and Chifuyu.

𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐳𝐮 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐲𝐨.

Sanzu never thought you were that dumb and he of course make fun of you for it. At first you look smart enough but the more he get to know you the dumber you get.

Sanzu tried to hint that he like you since childhood but you would never get it and he would always thought that his hint aren't good enough. But he's older now and he realised you're oblivious to romantic things and Love.

He's very touchy and you'll just let him be, his hand are on your thigh and you'll just stare at him blankly and get back to the conversation real quick. He's holding you by the waist? He's just hugging you in his way, he's flirting with you? He's just playing around.

Good thing is Sanzu knows that you do not give a shit when other tried to confess, it's either you never get that they like you and turn them down by accident or... Sanzu take care of those who are bold enough.

He'll get to call you anything he wants and you would not give a single shit "She's my girlfriend, fuck off before I kill you..." He'll hold you by the waist and threaten the guy who tried to sway you. Meanwhile you'll just stand there wanting to go home.

Sanzu won't and will never make you fall in love with anyone else. Oh, that guy that talk to you is a piece of shit, that girl with white hair is a whore. He does not hesitate to insult anyone if it mean you'll hate them <3

"He was like 'I love you'" you told him as you lay lazily on your bed, "What did you say back...?" Sanzu who was clearly piss off asked you. "I told him 'I know' and you call so I leave them" you told him as a smirk appear on his face, "Good job, baby".

𝐈𝐳𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐤𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐰𝐚.

Doesn't like it.

Whenever he is dropping a hint that he's into you, you would simply just give him a friendly smile and act like nothing ever happened.

He doesn't like the fact that you'll let anyone flirt with you and just won't care afterwards. He's happy you don't care about them but you give them the opportunity to flirt! Why would you do such things when he's right there.

Your compliment make his heart go wild but his does nothing to you, you'll just give him a thanks and just do whatever you were doing.

"You're mine, mine only" his voice sound threatening if you dare deny he'll probably stab you. You give him a quick smile "Cool".

No one ever confess to you ever since Izana cams into your life. Totally not because he act like your boyfriend and beat anyone who dare like you, he would never do such things. His hand wrap around your body as you smile seemingly enjoying the moment? If you're there Izana is there.

When Izana realise you're oblivious as hell + dumb, he wasn't surprised. So, inorder to make things more clear he would make all the hint very obvious.

𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐲𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐬𝐮𝐧𝐨.

He feel like he's in a romantic manga you being the oblivious main character/side character and him being the love strike idiot.

He's trying out all the things he read from manga, buying you valentine's day chocolate even tho it's a normal day, passing letter to you that are just sweet he does get caught by the teacher, holding hand on which he could stop blushing.

He was an idiot in love and you're the idiot who doesn't know.

He'll hold your hand and is very protective, unlike the other two he doesn't care if other like you if you're happy he's happy and he's positive you'll end up loving him.

He used Peke J as a way to call you his wife since, y'know... The cat need parents who love them... He does want you as his wife.

He does get jealous of how close others guy are towards you, since you wouldn't really care about how they act towards you unless they're a total creep.

Fuyu would often drop a big hint that he like you and you understand that, the hint he drop was on accident as well.

You're just pretending to not know so Fuyu could peacefully continue his main character moment until he confess.

Why is my writing soo shit.

[ryuseiired]

mahiru. 12.

im expecting this to be an answer that requires a read more. go, autism boy, go. talk about mahiru and all the ways people sleep on her character

I LOVE YOU. YOU KNOW ME SO WELL. right. yeah here we go. i Do have thoughts. on this one.

12. what do you wish would be discussed more often about them in the fandom?

ok. well first off. i think we should just talk about mahiru more in general because i love her. but here is my biggest thought on What Exactly Some People, Especially Not On Milgramblr, Are Sleeping On About Mahiru: there's a lot of talk about her murder case, and that's great, but... i think a lot of the things that really draw me to her as a character and to her case tend to slip by people on account of the way milgram likes to- as kazui shows us in cat- keep it simple, victim and perpetrator. but i think trying to understand her better also gives a better understanding of where exactly things did go wrong in the relationship that put her in milgram.

the rest of this answer where i elaborate more will, in fact, be under a cut because you are right that i have an essay locked and loaded on this and actually this turned into a mahiru analysis/theory post by accident i meant to answer mostly normally but unfortunately i'm not normal about mahiru shiina.

let's talk about this is how to be in love with you. can we talk about this is how to be in love with you? i'm dying to talk about this is how to be in love with you. and god, its english name is a mouthful, i understand why some people just go with calling it ai nan desu yo.

obviously (hopefully) we all know mahiru getting guilty voted over this mv was absolutely fucked and unfair. i'm still mad about it. especially because i think that if you look at this is how to be in love with you (and her interrogation questions from its trial) in particular (as well as some other stuff), it says a lot about mahiru as a person, and in turn about her crime.

it's easy to miss underneath how friendly and cheerful she is with the other prisoners, how she seems like such a social butterfly, but... i don't think mahiru actually had a lot of connections other than her boyfriend, and i think this is a big factor in what happened with him. mahiru... seems lonely. like her life is... very empty. and i don't see people focus in on this fact a lot, despite how her first trial voicelines even say as much:

there's nothing left without him, and at least if she's here she can talk to es and the other prisoners. mahiru's interrogation questions paint a picture of someone who doesn't really have a lot in their life. when asked in t1's interrogation if there's someone she can confide in, mahiru's answer is the lady who works at the beauty parlor she goes to. this doesn't seem like the answer of someone who has close friends to talk to instead, at least to me. like. that's not... you'd think if she had friends she felt she could talk to, she'd have mentioned that here, right? that'd be the place to mention any close friends?

in this is how to be in love with you we see her spending days off at cafes alone, and she tells us about having hobbies that are generally solitary, we see her reading in the mv and interrogation reveals that prior to milgram her hobby was watching dramas. she tells us in interrogation that growing up, she was a sheltered girl. she also appears (taken from this is how to be in love with you) to have recently arrived in tokyo, meaning she may not know a lot of people there and has probably moved away from most of her family (though she does mention attending a relative's wedding).

i think part of the problem is that when mahiru meets her boyfriend... she doesn't appear to have much in the way of anyone else. mahiru is social, mahiru loves talking to people, mahiru doesn't really know how to act without copying others... and her boyfriend is the only person she's close with. she appears to be relying on him for almost all of her social connection.

as i just mentioned, she also has the habit of copying others, incessantly. the infamous "i'd smoke if my lover did too" interrogation answer, and again, the text in this is how to be in love with you...

(transcriptions into english from here!)

see the things that jump out here? "even though i'm just copying everyone else in everything. is that the right thing to be doing?", "i thought to buy the same bread he did", "i wasn't really thinking when i blurted out "me too", so now we run together". you can see this in the lyrics too. "i'm going to start relying on you if you're kind to me, so please forgive me!"

i think these are key traits in why her relationship went the way it did. i don't think mahiru is uniquely "toxic" or too needy/clingy in a way that means she can never have a relationship (and god, don't get me started on how i've seen people say this). i think she's obviously a highly social person, and was in a situation where she was relying on one person (assumedly with lower social needs than her) to fulfill all of her need for that. i think she's horribly anxious about losing that connection and having to be alone again, and she doesn't know how to deal with it other than to constantly (and annoyingly, disruptively) ask for reassurance. i think she bases herself on others and ignores her own desires in order to imitate them and/or do what they want, and if her boyfriend also didn't have a particularly strong sense of identity and/or also wasn't the type to stand up for himself, it would be really easy to get sucked into this horrible loop where you're both trying to copy and please each other and now you're both constantly putting aside what you actually like for the other person and neither of you are happy.

except mahiru is happy, or... she thinks she is, because she's happy to give herself up for love. she says as much herself: "we fought sometimes, i was happy to get hurt." but... there's something else in the lyrics, isn't there? "i pretended to be a good girl, i don't want to be "ok"". my take is that mahiru isn't getting what she wants/needs out of the relationship, and knows it on some level. but she isn't going to leave him, either, because she's decided this is true love and also if she did that she'd be alone again. so she hopes something will just change instead, or convinces herself that she is satisfied. but she's not. near the opening of this is how to be in love with you: "i guess we can just say that this feeling is happiness, i can't stop feeling like there's something missing." so she keeps pushing, she keeps trying, and... well. we know how that ends.

so after all this rambling, what's my point, exactly? i don't think either mahiru OR her boyfriend were any sort of perpetrator. nor were either of them a victim. i don't think the relationship fits neatly into that framework, even though milgram judged mahiru a murderer and her boyfriend to be her victim. i think there's a reading that doesn't need any of that: two people who seemed to get along well and have similar interests who got into a relationship, and who were actually incompatible in their deeper needs in a relationship. mahiru clings to this relationship despite this, because she needs it. because she can't be alone again. because having a boyfriend who fails to fulfill what she wants/needs is better than having nothing.

neither of them are bad people, nor (from what we can see and from my opinion on it) did either of them do anything particularly wrong. what makes the most sense to me is a competing access needs sort of situation. mahiru needs reassurance and a lot of attention/interaction (especially from a romantic partner, something she idolizes having because of how special you're supposed to be to each other!), while her boyfriend needs more space than what she's giving him... but mahiru, at least, definitely doesn't want to break up. so eventually, they end up in a situation where he feels there's only one way out.

i think this lens can be supported by what we see in i love you, too! note lyrics like "this can't go on, something's got to give", "why won't you just accept me", "mon-mon-monstrous, cuz i love you so much". and...

here's something else she says in i love you: "i don't need anyone else, as long as i have you." but the truth is... mahiru does need other people. the truth is that one person can't fix the underlying issue that mahiru is desperately lonely and has very few connections in her life. the truth is that it's incredibly unfair to rely on one person to fulfill all of your needs and to desperately insist upon staying in a relationship just to avoid being alone, and mahiru realizes this too late.

so. um. i've never really seen anyone else talk in too much detail about an interpretation of the character/situation like this. i see a lot of "they were both toxic" but i think that's a kind of weak simplification of it, you know? what is "toxic". it's bad, obviously. do we think they're bad people doing bad things, or just that the relationship was bad? is that "toxicity" inherent to them as people, or could things have gone better in a different relationship? are they both "toxic" or are they just both stuck in an incompatible relationship where neither of them are wrong but they are unable to meet each others' needs?

i don't know. it's 4am and i've been writing this for two hours and i'm honestly not sure if it's coherent or not. but to end this here's another footnote of something i cant stand people sleeping on about mahiru: she is so stupid forgiving of literally everything and it kind of kills me and i dont really see anyone else point this out as being a bad thing that could get her really hurt. like. she forgives kotoko for almost killing her and says she doesn't resent anyone for anything. she puts up with anything, as seen by what i mentioned about her desire to stay in the relationship with her boyfriend even though it was obviously not giving her what she needed and it was hurting her too! i think if mahiru had ended up in a relationship with a different guy, it would be entirely possible for her to be in an abusive relationship and refuse to leave it because of this particular tendency. and i don't see this mentioned much. probably because, again... mahiru's framed as a perpetrator. she killed her boyfriend, right? so obviously she's not the one who'd be hurt in a relationship.

ok. i'm done now i promise i am so done with this for real. um. if you read this whole thing thank you. i'm sorry it's so long or if it's incoherent in places. i just have a lot of thoughts about mahiru shiina

#milgram #fuck it im maintagging it. everyone read my long-ass mahiru post. get mahiru'd. #wow a theo original #mahiru shiina #asks #lizard-boot-camp

[leuke-rants]

Some fan facts about the four heroes in my rewrite of trotsh:

Motoyasu:

- He is half Finish-half Japanese. I like the idea of Motoyasu being a natural blond so he has to get the genes from somewhere.

- He is ambidextrous, though he favours his right hand.

- He has excellent memory and can learn things very fast if he wants to. I think this is kinda canon considering he learned the Melromarc language in just one day.

- He can speak four languages: Japanese, English, Finish and French (five if you count Melromarc's language)

- He majors in linguistics

- He is really into fashion and wanted to major in fashion but his mother shut down the idea rather quickly. Too many girls in that major .....

- He knows how to sew and cook (he is an average cook)

- Although he is very flirty and doesn't mind the idea of having a girlfriend he does not want to get married. His parents marriage is proof enough that it doesn't end well for either parties.

- He is a certified himbo

- He is a people pleaser and doesn't like making others upset.

- He trusts women more that men.

Naofumi:

- He is a very relaxed and lay back guy

- He knows how to read people and acts accordingly.

- Used to take care of his younger brother when his parents were at work so he has a soft spot for children.

- Just like his brother he has anger issues. He learned to control his anger over the years and even helped his little brother with his.

- He is generally friendly but his introverted nature make him seem unapproachable.

- He is rather distant and may seem a little cold to strangers but once you get to know him he is a the sweetest guy ever.

- His parents were so busy with work so he basically raised his brother.

- Learned how to cook for himself and his brother since their parents were barely home. He is an excellent cook and always tries recipes from different cuisines

- Just like his father he has a talent for the trading business. Because of that he majors in international trade.

- H is e also very good at gambling and knows how to manage money. Thankfully he reserves his talent for card games with his friends.

- He has no idea how to talk to women his age so whenever a girl approaches him he becomes a stuttering mess . He can talk to them normally if they are close friends or talking business.

Ren:

- The most antisocial person you will ever meet.

- He is autistic.

- He noticed that people treated him differently and not in a good way. Because of this he became really closed off.

- He puts the 'Too good to talk to you" persona so that people will leave him alone.

- He found solace in video games and spends most of his times in his room.

- He doesn't know he is autistic, he just thinks that people dislike him for no reason.

- Although he loves his parents and they love him back they have no idea what is wrong with their son and they can't seem to understand his problems.

- He has a bad reputation among the students for being the "creepy-quite kid". The teachers don't mind him,he is quite and has pretty good grades.

- He has no idea he is autistic.

- He really loves cats. His parents noticed this and bought him one. He named her after his favourite video game character and has been his close companion ever since.

- He is extremely blunt and people don't like that. That's the reason he has only one friend.

- He finds it easier to talk to people through the internet. He has a lot of online friends and they even have a discord chat together.

- His only friend is a senior girl from his school. They met at a comic con and became friends after they realized they liked the same anime and video games.

- He started to have a crush on her and fell in love after she defended him from her friends who thought he was a weirdo.

- He became heartbroken after she moved away and vowed to never get close to anyone ever again.

- After that he became more cold and intolerant of people.

Itsuki:

- Lives with his mother in an apartment complex.

- His father always told him to protect his mother and stick up for the little guys and he took that advise very seriously.

- He is being bullied for being a late bloomer and for his feminine features.

- He always defends other kids from bullying and isn't afraid to throw a punch. Because of that he gets into a lot of trouble.

- He has a talent for archery. He found out during gym class and ever since he took part in competitions and tournaments to earn some money and help his mother.

- He has dyslexia and isn't aware of it. Because of this his grades are not the best. He doesn't tell his mother about his problem because he doesn't want to burden her.

- He is very flexible and pretty good at gymnastics.

- He gets frustrated rather easily and can lose his temper quickly.

- He will either think things through or act on impulse, there is no in-between.

- He really likes animals and feeds the strays very often.

Well that's all I have so far. Perhaps I "ll make a part 2 or give information about their allies,who knows?

Messenger

DreamXD comes to visit his brother Dream, surprised to find Dream has a new pet, Patches the cat. Unfortunately, Dream doesn't appreciate the wonderful gifts Patches gives him and XD must punish his brother for his rudeness.

Visits from DreamXD were spontaneous and very unplanned. They would pop in mostly unannounced and the visit could be planned from there. Dream was more used to these spontaneous pop-in than anyone. Even with years of the siblings not talking, it fell back into a normality so easily.

A very familiar ‘pop’ sound filled the air, alerting Dream that he had a visitor and he pulled himself up from bed. While he couldn’t stop XD’s visits, they came to an agreement that the God couldn’t just pop into any room he wanted. So they had agreed XD could visit but he’d appear outside Dream’s house and enter. Dream would still hear the popping sound and be alerted to get himself ready.

Today was a lazy day for Dream so he spent most of it in bed snoozing and reading. Now he tried to get up and fluff up his hair to look more messy and less bed-hairish.

“Dream!” XD made a friendly call through the house as Dream could hear him coming in and making his way to the bedroom. He opened up the door and ducked into the room, greeting his brother with a friendly smile from under his pushed up mask. “I hope you weren’t sleeping in bed all day. It’s late in the afternoon.”

“No. No. I was reading.” Dream lied. Well he didn’t really consider it a lie. He was reading but he just happened to be reading in bed…and dozing off every once in a while. It was a warm day, so sue him.

XD just hummed to the lie with a nod. Dream wasn’t sure if he had believed it, but as he looked over XD’s attention was taken by something else. The God was now staring out the window. Dream followed the line of  sight and saw a shadowed shape by the window.

The bright sun made it difficult to make out what it was at first, but Dream knew instantly. His eyes adjusted and the shadows took the shape of a small cat.

“Oh, it’s just Patches.” Dream went to the window and opened it. He could see the small white paw tapping at the window before he’d even opened it.

“You have a cat?” XD asked with surprise and a little bit of excitement in his voice.

“Yeah. Well…more she has me. She hung around enough so one day I let her in. Now she keeps coming back.”

Dream pushed up the window and when there was just enough space, Patches pushed herself in. She moved like liquid, squeezing in through the smallest space and fluffing back out. She had brown tabby fur, with a white underbelly and paws. She had one little white patch over the front of her forehead.

She blinked up at Dream, letting out a little trill of greeting, murmuring around the feather she carried in her mouth.

“Again?” Dream huffed. He took the feather from Patches’ mouth as she offered it forward.

XD tilted his head as Dream took the feather. “She’s given you a gift.”

“She’s given me loads of these…gifts.” Dream took the feather, holding it carefully between his thumb and forefinger like it was coated in poison. He placed it down on the table by his bed, where Patches then jumped onto. “She always bring them.”

“She’d given you feathers before?” XD asked curiously as they reached their hand out to Patches. She gave it a small sniff before letting out a low ‘mrrow’ and rubbing her cheeks along XD’s fingers. She started purring when XD gave gentle scratches under her chin and rubbed further into their hand.

“She gives me them all the time.” Dream sat on the bed. “The first night I had her, I woke up and she put a feather on my chest. Then she just kept coming with them every few days.”

“That’s cute.” XD purred along with Patches. She’d pulled back her head to jump down and rub along the God’s shins and ankles which XD smiled fondly to.

“It’s annoying.” Dream grumbled, hoping his jealousy couldn’t be heard. Patches was a sweetheart to everyone though. Not only had she warmed up to Dream so quickly, but she had also cuddled into George’s lap just seconds after meeting him. It was inevitable she’d also warm up to XD.

“A gift is certainly not annoying. Especially when it’s something you love.” XD had knelt down to pet and scratch Patches some more. Two of his arms on his left side were showering the cat with attention while his right hand reached to pick up the feather and further inspect it.

There was nothing truly special about it. It was white and more fluffy than stiff, probably coming from a chicken. The ends of it frayed out more as the top dipped ever so slightly. XD waved it a bit, getting it to stand straight for just a moment before looking through the feather to Dream. “Maybe she’s helping you build a nest.”

“Well the nest is gone. I don’t keep any of them.”

Dream jumped as XD made an over exaggerated, and very loud gasp. “Dream! You can’t just throw out gifts little Patches has left you!”

The younger sibling felt an infectious glee creep over him. While XD’s voice was clearly chastising him, he was also smiling widely and had a lilt of playfulness in his tone. Almost egging him on.

It felt like he’d almost regret it, but Dream felt his own lips twitch up in a small smile, and replied. “Well I did.”

While he couldn’t know exactly what was going to happen, Dream thought with having the knowledge that XD was going to do something meant he would be prepared for it no matter what. He was not.

With a speed that could only be matched by a God, Dream’s ankle was grabbed and he was swiftly pulled off the bed. A very squeaky yelp escaped his lips as he was suddenly on the floor, looking up to a widely grinning XD.

“This insult to poor Patches will not be tolerated.” XD put on his best offended voice and another hand grabbed Dream’s other ankle, and then another hand (curse this God for his extra limbs) grabbed Dream’s arm before he could pull it away.

“P-Pahatches doesn’t even care!” Little bubbles of giggles escaped Dream’s lips with his excuse. He pointed frantically at Patches who had now jumped up on the bed and watched the two curiously.

“No no no, she is absolutely heartbroken. Stunned to silence.” XD grin widened as he lifted the feather, still held in his free hand.

The excitement bubbling in Dream’s chest dropped to his stomach, exploding into a flurry of butterflies that spread down his legs and through his arms and kicked in his fight or flight. He tugged his arms and kicked out his legs to minimum success. He moved XD’s arms ever so slightly with his struggling but he was always aware that it was just a game. XD’s arms moved because the God allowed them to be moved.

“I’m afraid I simply must enact revenge for my feline friend.” XD stated matter of factly. The hand holding the feather pushed up Dream’s top to expose his quivering belly. Dream tried to grab at the feather, but XD just snatched up the wrist, so now the God had one hand holding both of Dream’s wrists and their two bottom set of arms holding his ankles.

A nervous smile cracked over Dream’s lips. “P-Plehehease XD…”

The God ignored his pleas, and the feather lowered more and more until it brushed its fluffy sides along Dream’s side.

Dream tried his hardest to hold in the laughter, but the butterflies had made him too giddy and it just took a few flicks of the feather for the dam to break and the laughter came pouring out.

“PFFFFFTAHAHA! N-NAhaha! Plehehease! E-Ehehehex Dehehehe!” His laughter came out in light cackles rather than the hysterics he was usually in. XD’s tickling was softer, and his sides weren’t as feather sensitive as his tummy.

“Apologise to Patches, for throwing away her beautiful gifts.” XD twirled the feather up and down Dream’s side. He flicked the tip of the feather on the bottom rib whenever it got close before fluttering back down.

“Ihihi wohohohon’t!” It was hard to sound firm and defiant when laughing, but Dream tried his best.

It didn’t seem to work though as XD simply sighed. “So rude to poor, poor Patches. She was only trying to help.”

Dream’s laughter calmed as XD stopped the feather. He was too smart to fall into wishful thinking though. XD wasn’t done with him. That was just a warm up. A pre-tickling to get his nerves all alight and ready. He just lay on the floor, taking in gulps of air and preparing.

All that preparation was useless though as he felt XD let go of one of his ankles, and began to pull off his sock.

He had been so sure XD was going for his stomach, he had no actually defence if XD went for somewhere worse. Dream fought like his life depended on it. He tugged at his arms, and wriggled out of position. His leg that was let go curled in before giving a kick into XD’s chest. Of course it didn’t actually hurt them, but it surprised them enough to cough and stop removing the sock.

Dream knew he was in trouble. He had just kicked his sibling who was already in a vengeful mood. His arms were still trapped and his one foot trapped in XD’s grasp had his sock half off.

“N-Nohow-Now X…D-Dehe…” Dream tried to pull at his arms again, to no success. “Y-Yohou can’t be m-mad at me for that. Y-Yohou went for my…m-my fehehehet. Y-You’d do the sahame if-if I went for your armpi -EEEEEE!!!”

The world suddenly flipped upside down, and Dream found himself hanging from his ankles. The sock half protecting his foot was quickly discarded and Dream barely had enough time to shout out the “WAIT” before the feather touched onto his sole, and tickled back and forth.

“NAHAHA! EHEHEX DEHEHE!!! FUHUHUHUCK!”

“Throwing away gifts from Patches! And now attacking your older brother!” XD’s voice playfully growled, or Dream at least hoped it was playful. He couldn’t see the God’s face but since they were using the feather and not their terrible claws, that could be a sign of mercy. “You better apologise.”

“IHIHI’M SOHohohorry! I’m sohohoHORRY! P-PLEHeheaSE! I CAHAHAN’T BREHEHEATHE!”

XD wasn’t stopping. The feather quickly dragged up from his heel before focusing over his arch. Flicking back and forth and turning Dream’s brain to absolute mush.

Dream couldn’t be sure if he was laughing or screaming anymore. The tickling was frying every thought in his brain and being held upside down already turned him loopy. If it wasn’t for XD’s bottom set of arms holding at his waist he would have been thrashing like crazy.

In a last ditch effort, Dream responded on instinct alone and threw his arms back. He grabbed onto XD’s knees and squeezed. The tickling ended with a yip before the two siblings crumbled to the ground as XD’s legs gave out.

Dream admitted that wasn’t the smartest idea, but the tickling did stop so really it technically worked. His shoulder was sore from the drop and he was tangled in a mix of his and XD’s limps but it could be classed as successful.

Well successful enough until XD started moving again. He flipped Dream around easily to lay on his back and pulled up the top once again. Dream panicked and looked for the feather but XD had dropped it. The God’s hands were free and arms wrapped around Dream’s waist to hold him still. Dream just got his hands onto XD’s shoulder when his sibling pulled his head back, opening his mouth and his teeth growing ever so slightly.

“E-EHX DEHEEEEE! NO!” Dream pushed with all his might on XD’s shoulders and head. Wherever he could get a grip, but XD wasn’t budging.

The God actually grinned wider to the panic, but his teeth shrank back down. “Say your sorry to Patches, for throwing away her gifts.”

Dream’s eyes flicked up to the bed were Patches was before to find she was gone. He made a frantic look around the room for her but she was out of sight, either wandering to another part of the house or she’d slipped back outside. “She’s-She’s not even here!”

“She’ll still hear it.” XD assured him. “Unless you think she’d hear it better if you were screaming.”

“NO! NO No! I-I’m sorry Patches! I’m sorry!!!”

“And say, you’ll keep all of her gifts from now on.”

“I’ll keep her gifts! I promise!”

“Good. Now. Apologise for kicking me in the chest and for tickling my knees.”

“B-But you-you were…t-tickling meehehe!”

XD just opened his mouth slightly and Dream launched into a panic again. “NO! WAIT-WAIT! I-I’m sorry! I’m sorry for kicking and grabbing your knees!”

XD gave a giddy grin, clearly feeling high from power. Their teeth shrunk again. “Now Dream, did you lie to me earlier when you said you weren’t sleeping?”

The pause was long and very telling. Dream tried to weigh his options but it was hard to focus and think clearly when those terrible teeth were so close to his tummy.

“...nnooo…”

XD let out a long sigh, which brushed along Dream’s skin and tickled slightly. With a  high nervous giggle, Dream tried to curl up and push on XD’s head which was getting dangerously closer to him again.

 “NOHOHO! EHEX DEHE! I-I LIED! Ohohokahay! I liehed! I was sleeping a-a liTTLE! NO!”

“Lied to me, twice.” XD made an exaggerated sigh. “I can’t just let this go unpunished.”

“NOHO! NOHOHOT NIHIHIBBLES! P-PLEHEHEASE! EHEHEX DEHEHEHE!!!”

XD lowered his head, ignoring the pleads of his squirming little brother. He opened his mouth wide, his teeth growing ever so slightly in size before taking in a deep breath and blowing a long raspberry instead.

Dream shrieked as soon as he felt the teeth graze him, but once the shock of fear left him, his screams died to high pitched laughter. His body was in a struggle of pulling himself trying to turn side to side and protect his stomach. When that didn’t work he beat his fists on XD’s back. Even if it wasn’t the fangs nibbling along his stomach, it was still so sensitive that the vibrations of the raspberries drove him near to madness.

“EheheHEHEX DEHEhehe! Plehehehease! I’m-I’m sohohohorrihihihiy!”

Another breath was being taken in, but XD faltered. Dream’s laughs were becoming breathy and almost quiet, and the hands struggling and beating on their back were just weakly holding on. With a hesitant show of mercy, XD let out their breath in a sigh, which caused a slight squeal from Dream but he relaxed when XD gave a soothing pat to his stomach and slowly pushed himself up.

“Well…you sound sorry.” XD admitted and slowly pushed himself up to his knees. “You okay?”

Dream gave a breathless ‘yes’, as his body finally relaxed, sinking into the carpet. He took in slow deep breaths, feeling his nerves calm down from their tingling over stimulation.

XD frowned a little, coming over to Dream’s side and carefully picking him up. Dream giggled when the arms touched him just from reflex, but calmed when he was lifted up to the bed. He was dropped, rather unceremoniously, onto the plush mattress. He giggled, partly from the giddiness and how silly XD was being.

“Hopefully Patches accepted your very sincere apology.” The God said matter of factly as he moved himself to lay by his brother.

“She wasn’t even upset…” Dream whispered under his breath though he absolutely knew XD heard. He was worried when XD moved up again, but the God just brought up the blankets and pillows, making an almost nest around them.

The exhaustion set in and mixed with the warmth from the sun filtering in through the window, the blankets and XD, Dream was struggling to keep himself awake. He yawned and rubbed at his eyes, opening them again to find the blanket that he thought was laid over him was actually XD’s cloak.

Instinct took over and Dream felt like a child again. Curling up and bundling the cloak around him. Long claws soothed through his hair and scratched over his scalp, melting him further into the soft nest.

“I suppose you have earned another nap.” XD purred. “And since you’ve taken my cloak hostage I suppose I’ll join you.”

If Dream had any energy he would have liked to point out that XD had been the one to put the cloak over him, but by the time he had that thought he was already half asleep and another purr from XD was all it took to tip him over into another warm afternoon nap.

the orchid aroma (nanowrimo 2023 project)

title: the orchid aroma

genre: crime

themes: found family; self discovery; acceptance; trust; lgbt & polyam relationships

synopsis:

Augustus Clove is a world-renowned thief. He is the best of the best; he's stolen countless things across the globe, other thieves look up to him, and no one has ever been able to catch him. Only one person has come close, and that's insurance investigator Grant Albright, who has been chasing him for several years. Unexpected circumstances cause their game of cat-and-mouse to end when they have to put their differences aside and work together to steal a famous necklace (with the help of Grant's wife Celia and Augustus' criminal friends). They will need to learn how to trust one another and navigate through confusing feelings in order to pull off this heist.

main characters:

augustus clove is a world-renowned thief, grifter, & mastermind. he is the most charming person you will ever meet (& the most handsome), which he constantly uses to his advantage. he enjoys the finer things in life & likes to live expensively, but he also knows how to stay simple when necessary. it may seem like he has a lot of friends but colleagues might be a better descriptor; as a criminal, most of the people in his life can never stay for long so he is very loyal to those he allows to get close to him, scarce as they might be

grant albright is the insurance investigator who has been chasing augustus for the past few years & is celia's husband. he is the only person who has ever been a match for augustus & he knows him better than anyone. he is a little chaotic, a little intense, & a little repressed, but celia & augustus help to bring out the best in him. also he really loves his wife

celia albright is grant's wife who gets thrown into this world entirely by accident but honestly she isn't mad about it, as she finds she's very well-suited for this kind of life (even more than grant, much to his dismay). she's basically up for anything & enjoys trying new things, even when it's illegal

bennett m. acer, or ace to anyone who knows (of) them, is one of the best hackers there is. they are often underestimated because of how young they are but they are extremely skilled & fast-thinking. also they definitely have adhd

darcy wheeler is a fence who augustus frequently works with. she's a whole lot of fun, is very friendly, & might as well be made of sunshine because she can & will brighten your day

juliet de vere is a thief & has known augustus the longest. she doesn't talk about her past much but she is proud of who she is today

micah hart is a getaway driver who is kinda new to the whole 'being a serious professional criminal' thing but he is trying his very best!! also an adhd king

robin blakely is a forger & is a little intimidating before you get to know him but he's actually a big softie. it's surprisingly easy to worm your way into his heart, which is probably why he's so closed off at first

piper hayes is a thief who mostly only does what's best for her, regardless of whether it'll hurt others. working with a team & genuinely caring about them is an adjustment for her but she learns how to put them first

ellery ball is a thief who normally sticks to himself, but he owes augustus so he agrees to be a part of his team. he isn't too thrilled to be working with so many others, but especially with piper after she had double-crossed him several years ago. it takes some time, but he eventually grows to trust the team (yes, including piper)

Catboy Cafe AU- Faust

Make sure to read the following chapters before reading this:

Chapter 1

He seemed so nice during the interview process. He was in his last year of college and needed something before finding a job in his field. He told you that he wanted to work in the kitchen even though he doesn't have much experience with food. Nothing wrong with that. Napoleon and Vlad were good at training and could surly do that for him.

But then he started. The first few days were fine, but he got comfortable real quick with the others, and not in a great way. Vlad showed him the basics and he quickly got the hang of it. It's not like you have complicated food, but then he started to want to change things.

With having another cook Vlad quickly stopped paying attention to how the things were going and focused on making sweets.

Faust takes up the responsibility of keeping Vlad from eating most of the desserts, which resulted in quite a bit of yelling in the kitchen.

"Why are you even in the kitchen. Your fur is so long!" he groans each time he sees Vlad's tail swaying back and forth. You hear that from the counter so often. Faust's fur is so short on his tail. His ears are a little more fluffy, but sometimes you think he's a hairless cat.

You will admit, that made you a little worried about hiring him. You're a cat cafe and people come to see fluffy catboys. Good thing he wanted to work in the kitchen.

"Faust would you mind taking these to table five for me?" you set a tray in front of him.

"Me? I don't work the floor."

"I know but Isaac got sick and couldn't come in. I'll make it up to you, please."

He groans and grabs the tray and goes out to the floor. Now he needs to remember which table is what. He may not be the fluffiest cat, but he is handsome. You hope the customers would stop him and he would interact, but he just delivers the food and comes back.

"I am not doing that again."

You are in the kitchen preparing things, getting ready for the rush. "Please, Faust. I don't have anyone else to cover Isaac's shift."

You know he didn't try, he was barely out there.

He gives you a stern look. You almost forgot who the boss is here. "I told you I would make it up to you. I would do it but who wants a normal person as their waiter?"

"I don't wanted to be gawked at."

"You don't need to be overly personable. Just be friendly."

He groans. "Fine, meerschweinchen." He turns and walks back out onto the floor. He's not in the right uniform but that doesn't matter too much right now.

You watch him walk out, staring at his back. "What did you call me!?" Why much everyone here have a weird nick name for you.

At least the only majority flirty one here was Will. Mozart and Vincent are fairly calm so you don't have to worry about Faust saying some rude remarks.

He does come back behind the counter to catch his breath occasionally. You ended up being busy for the rest of the day. Napoleon came in to close in the kitchen and Comte came in to help close on the floor.

You were back in the office doing some paper work since things seemed to be under control and only went out once it was starting to be closing time.

You go out to the floor after you close to see Faust half sitting half laying in one of the booths. You walk over to him. "You're still here? I thought you would have ran out of here when your shift was over."

"There was another rush and I stayed to help," next thing he knew it was just about close so he decided to stay to help with the mess.

"I guess it wasn't that bad then," you tease at him.

He looks up at you over his glasses. "Easy for you to say. That's way too much interacting."

You sit in the booth across from him. He takes his glasses off and rubs his face, sitting up fully. "I heard some customers say that they liked you. I guess you do know how to be flirty."

He pauses for a moment before reaching out, putting a finger under your chin. He has you look at him. Your heart stops for a moment as you look him in the eyes. This is the first time you saw him without his glasses.

"I'm not doing that again, meerschweinchen," he grabs his glasses, putting them back on as he gets out of the booth. "I have an essay due in the morning. Goodnight."

He goes to the back to grab his things while you sit there. "What does that mean!?"

[room-surprise]

★☆✿♦ൠ Kabruuuu

oh man a Kabru buffet! Okay!!!

★ - sad headcanon

Kabru is afraid of getting into serious relationships (romantic or even friendly) because he thinks if anyone gets too close, they'll see past his many different facades, realize what he's really like, and abandon him. So he keeps people at a distance even when he likes them, and tries not to get too emotionally invested.

☆ - happy headcanon

Kabru doesn't really like animals, though they don't inspire the same kind of trauma response as monsters, a big dog or a bull will make him freeze up and get nervous too. As a result, he's the type of person that tries to avoid cats, and therefore cats LOVE him and think he's their best friend... After a little time Kabru tends to warm up to them too. (I think it would be really funny if Izutsumi eventually decides they are best friends because Kabru keeps avoiding her.)

✿ - Sex headcanon

Like a lot of the things he does, Kabru uses sex as a tool to manipulate people. (Most of the time the thing he's manipulating them into is just having sex with him. Sometimes he uses it to get something else though. A meal, a place to stay, a social advantage.) That means that relaxing and enjoying it is actually really hard for him. He's always self-conscious, doing a performance and more focused on his partners than himself. Because he's so attentive (and an overachiever), he's really good in bed and even his one-night-stands remember him and often are eager for an encore if Kabru shows up in their lives again.

♦ - quirks/hobbies headcanon

Kabru's mother was from a good family, and she was trained in various arts. After she was forced to flee with Kabru, she worked in a tavern in Utaya, and she would make extra money by singing, mostly at weddings and funerals. She taught Kabru to sing, and he inherited her excellent musical ear and good voice, so when he's alone he'll hum or sing work songs while he's doing chores, like sharpening his blades or washing laundry. (He does know how to do laundry, see next answer for more details haha.)

ൠ - random headcanon

Kabru isn't actually that sloppy/messy despite the way his room looks, he just often gets distracted or is too busy/tired to tidy up his personal space. If left alone long enough he'll tidy up eventually, but his internal barometer for "this is too messy I HAVE to clean it up" is out of whack with most normal people. He'll let it get pretty bad before he's internally motivated to clean without external prompting. He's a LOT better about this if he's sharing a space with others, he'll clean up after himself and the other person (people) too if he has to.

[queendeeshorrorimagines]

hi, how are you?

could you write some headcanons about jesse cromeans (and any other character you want) with a s/o who has the biggest golden retriever / ray of sunshine energy? (always positive, very playful and energetic, very friendly and kind with other people, etc)

thank you so much, have a nice day 💕

Slashers with a Positive/ ray of sunshine s/o:

I'm doing great, dear anon. Been working alot. A 7 day stretch and currently in the tail end of a 5 day stretch. Thank you for asking. I hope you enjoy dear!

Warnings: violence (not towards s/o), fluff

Gender neutral reader

Jesse Cromeans/ Chromeskull

Similiar to Asa, Jesse loves the idea of having a significant other because of the front during his day job. It fits the persona Jesse wants: rich successful man who has everything that you'd want, power, money, an significant other who's by your side.

He doesn't like the idea of you being too involved with his chromeskull activities because of your personal safety (he's already lost an wife, he doesn't want to lose his second chance of love) and the fact that he doesn't want you to lose your bright and bubbly personality by seeing something traumatizing.

While he's on "trips" Jesse always has Span to keep a close eye on you because he knows that he could trust her with keeping you safe.

Jesse doesn't like having Preston around you because of the fact that Jesse can see the way Preston looks at you and how uncomfortable it makes you feel when he questions your relationship with Jesse. (Preston attempting to expose Jesse's chromeskull side to you but not realizing that you already know.)

The way you treat him with love and kindness even though he knows he's a monster makes his heart melt. Especially the way you act when you see him walk through the doors of your shares house after his trips.

Asa Emory

Asa is a rather peculiar man to say the least. When you have such a hobby as Asa does, it does tend to be rather hard to balance his work and personal lives together. This is where you come in.

You're the role of Asa's doting partner during his professional life. Bringing him lunch, attending his work events together, being a part of Asa's "I'm totally normal and I don't kill people and have a collection of them." Ruse.

With your bubbly and bright personality, you have a charm about you that makes his colleagues enjoy your presence. It does surprise them that someone like you is in a relationship with a quiet man like Asa.

For the longest time Asa keeps his collector side away from you because he didn't know how you would respond to being in a relationship with someone as sadistic as him.

Once you do find out, Asa would still keep you away from his "hobby" just in case a potential part of his collection tries to cause you harm. But he would involve you as little or as much as you want to know.

Otis Driftwood

The world's greatest mystery: how does a man like Otis end up in a relationship with someone as bright and loving as you. Hell, even Otis asks himself that question every day.

Otis tends to have a hard time with conveying his emotions and talking about how he feels because he's not used to being in a committed relationship.

For the longest time, Otis got annoyed with how bright and bubbly you were. It's common to hear him say "you're just like baby. A bubbly pain in my ass." He says it affectionately in how own twisted way.

Otis is that meme where the lady says with the cat "I only known them for five minutes and I'd kill anyone in this room for them."

Otis wouldn't want you luring victims to the house because of his jealousy. No body dares to look at or even be around his significant other if he's around. You're his significant other.

Baby Firefly

Similar to Tiffany, Baby is on the positive side- even though she's more of a murderous kind of happy. Baby loves your energy.

You don't sexualize her compared to other people she's encountered. You actually are nice to her and respect her instead of lusting after her because of her beauty.

When the two of you are together around Otis, you both collectively achieve in pissing him off with how happy and loving you are to each other. Mama thinks it's completely adorable that Baby has someone who makes her happy.

You can bet that Baby will teach you how to defend yourself if you haven't already learned how to. Just in case a victim tries to attack you at the house.

Although Baby uses her sexuality and body to lure in potential kills, she would be jealous as fuck if someone gets too touchy Feely with you because you're Baby's to touch on and be flirty with.

Tiffany Valentine

Tiffany finds you purely adorable. With your sunny and bright personality and your playful tendencies, Tiffany couldn't help but to enjoy your energy.

Compared to prior relationships she's had *coughCharlescough*, being with you is refreshing to Tiffany because she doesn't feel like she's always the doting, loving partner. She gets to be on the recieving end of your kind loving gestures.

If anyone tries to hurt you, Tiffany will be pissed. If they hurt you, she will most definitely kill them.

Tiffany wouldn't feel comfortable with having you around Charles because of how his personality is an asshole and will try to make you upset because you're so bright and happy.

Glenn and Glenda both adore you because of how warm and welcoming you are towards them and how much you make their mother happy.

Introducing: Albert Wesker

It's a mystery to a lot of his closest colleagues as to how someone as bright and bubbly as yourself ended up with a man like Wesker.

There's been many rumors about how the both of you ended up in a relationship together. Some people say that you were manipulated into being with Wesker while others thought that you were only with him because of his power. They never said it around him though.

Yall radiate the trope where the one person is this scary, will kill anyone who even looks at their ray of sunshine partner.

Wesker is highly protective over you (even though he doesn't really show it around you. But his colleagues can see it.) because of how innocent and bubbly you are and the fact that you're in a relationship with him doesn't help your list of potential threats.

Although Wesker isn't the easiest person to live and be in a relationship with, (especially while dating someone as happy and playful as you) he tries to keep you grounded while you tend to break him out of the "stern, cold personality" and occasionally make him smile/ chuckle with your antics.

[flower-seller]

Oooohoohoo that cats analogy is very cute, like when two cats walk next to each other and bonk heads/curl tails (and ur not sure if its adoration or frustration lol)

That was really cool! And I'll throw some more at ya, all optional and no rush of puzzling anything out 💕

What does love mean to them? (ie gentle, fiery, enduring, painful?)

Love languages?

Favorite places, ways to be touched? (ie scratched, scalp massage, biting)

Monogamy or polyamory?

What is their moral code, and what circumstances could lead them to break it?

😘💕

Hi this one is…so, so late and I apologize for that BUT it is here it is for what it is worth! OTL 

Thanks for your patience, Praz!

What does love mean to them?

🌸 Euphorbia: 

Solidity and warmth, someone to lean on. Safety....even if she (past an, ahem, certain mountain-esque point) doesn't always get that feeling from him, she still loves him. It's all of it to her; gentle, fiery, enduring, painful, sweet and bitter and just...everything.

Basically, even if he's hurt and betrayed her, this fucked up little man is still her everything and while she isn't going to take his bullshit laying down she still cares deeply enough about him to try and wrangle him and understand what is wrong. Like, god, I bet at times out of nowhere during that 10 year gap they're apart she wonders if he ate that day.

✨️ Volo:

 For Volo... Love would be for someone to accept him as he is, not what he appears to be, but to acknowledge his flaws and mistakes, his scars, and still find something worth value. He's a very guarded person and for someone to be able to break away the facade he's built upon for his entire life; that is love. 

It's simple and a bit self indulgent on his part, but that's what we enjoy about him

Love Languages?

🌸 Euphorbia: 

Hmm… hers is probably gifts to a lesser extent than Volo. Even if she can't remember her past where her situation was similar, she is living where her means are not Great so to give something without it being an exchange is a big deal. No one gave you shit for free in water country so to her it's another little show of undiluted affection. i.e. candies and homemade preserves she gives him and the gold nugget she reverse mugs him with. Also, words of affirmation are a close second.

✨️ Volo: 

Volo's love language is gifts naturally. Further adds to the folklore/yokai vibes he's got now too in addition to his occupation, it's just too good not to be his exact love language. Another one though is definitely teasing, friendly jabs here and there for the people close enough to him to know he only jokes. Sometimes.

Favorite places/ways to be touched?

🌸 Euphorbia: Touch is a bit weird for Euph, since you've definitely got to be on the tier of friend or higher for her to willingly allow it. Though if she is in the village and someone taps her shoulder to get her attention or something she isn't going to lash out, since she is trying to play nice to avoid being tossed to the wilds with amnesia in an unfamiliar land.

As far as more intimate touch. We kind of touched on (heh) preferred places and ways to be touched with a kink meme. (Not posted but maybe… someday? It's not visually explicit, just a checklist.) But I imagine anyone else but Volo making her aware of how small she is would be met with grrrhisss, but definitely is not opposed to feeling his entire hand wrap around a wrist or shoulder or whatnot. Very much a case of "I am showing you my neck because I feel secure, please don't break it"

✨️ Volo: 

Volo is touch starved. And while there are spots that he is self conscious about, namely scars, this dude will absolutely melt at the slightest touch truthfully. He’s really big on… Hand holding. In both normal and sexual settings, He wants to twine his fingers together to show that he’s still there and that he loves her, always. Also pretty into his chest being played with and ass grabs oop— 

He’s got a nice ass and he knows it. 

He also loooves his hair being touched, his hair being a bit of a symbol to his progress in life. Once super long and flowy (longer than even current Volo’s), it was once cut down to about ear length against his own will. So it being as long as it is once more, this man feels a lot of emotion about it. 

One big thing to note; He does not like the touch of strangers in any regard. Especially after certain points in his life, he really does not care for random people even brushing shoulders with him accidentally. It makes him nervous, and nervousness leads into his anger which… Don’t touch this man without permission, he may recoil, and if you’re lucky he’ll only grumble about it. Especially his hands if he doesn’t know you. With how self conscious he is about his claws… 

There is another like. Super sensitive spot on his dude, but I shan’t reveal that yet… 😏

Monogamy or polyamory?

🌸 Euphorbia:

Hmm… she is probably mostly monogamous, it would take a very special someone since she's pretty stuck on this guy. She's already prone to a little jealousy, so I think anything beyond like an unattached threesome or whatever would take some work and probably give her indescribable amounts of heartburn first 

✨️ Volo:

YEAH YEAH they handshake pretty much

I could see like a political alliance threesome or maybe a secret spying one but not anything legitimately more than business. Even then I know he wouldn’t ever go through with full blown sex with anyone other than Euph for a plethora of reasons (most of which I will not say just yet but), but yeah teasing and toying to get information out of someone before tossing them aside is not off the table. 

Moral code and breaking it?

🌸 Euphorbia:

Her morals, outwardly, are pretty good. And actually not horrendously bad either. She's definitely willing to do some sketchy shit and feel minimally bad about it depending on what it is. "Be nice to me/my friend or I'll punch your lights out" and "good thing the nearest village is so far away because you fucked up and I'm going to break your wrist now and don't want someone to come running" type shit

As for what would make her break a moral code... your standard desperation, that can make anyone act unwise. That desperation can definitely range in flavor though, instinctual or meditated on.

Euph is pretty stubborn as a previous kiri nin from ye old days where the village was basically self-cannibalizing itself politically and maybe even literally. So having resolve and the will to keep moving forward even if you have to become monstrous to do so is far from an unknown concept. But...she also has come to value softer and sweeter things. So it's a bit complicated.

I guess the answer is just fuck around and find out ALSKDH

✨️ Volo:

Volo is… We all know Volo. He's a bit of an enigma in that of himself. His moral code, mind you his moral code, is quite different from the black and white common views of the world. Most nothing to him is inherently good or evil, everything is chaos, nothing and everything matters all at once. As such, his code of conduct varies vastly from situation to situation, there's obviously the favorable things to do, the more socially acceptable things, but seeing himself as an outlier to the status quo, he's more flexible to make choices that more typical people would… Probably not do?? The key point in understanding his mindset is that he doesn't value life the way most do. 

That being said, breaking his own code would be not only incredibly difficult, but also quite the event. The most likely causes for him to act out of his typical would be one of two things; Wrath, or Envy. Seeing as he is a cocky and confident bastard, it isn't too terribly often that he loses his temper truly. But when he does, boy does he. Easily comparable to a raging fire, once he's mad mad, it's hard to get him to calm down and will act out of instinct. 

Jealousy, on the other hand, makes the man act unwise. Often does jealousy lead to his more… Questionable choices, leaning on the dumb side. Often these choices go against his instinct.

[i3utterflyeffect]

I know absolutely nothing abt Wandersong so I can't ask any specific questions (;;-o-) BUT!!!!!!! take this ask as blanket permission to talk about any thoughts u have on the game that u want to, canon or AU

if u want some prompting, I saw ur MRD crossover and went 👀👀 I'm curious what ur AU changes from the game(s)!

oh!! okay so basically im going to split this into parts hang on

BUT. YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO PLAY WANDERSONG ITS SUCH A GOOD GAME. ITS SO FUN AND YOU WOULD LOVE MIRIAM AND BARD THEY'RE SO LOVABLE

ANYWAY!!!!!!! godbard au will be under the cut in case its not way too horribly late for you to not be spoilered sfdgklgslg

Mad Rat Miriam

ok aside from this post basically. the combo means that miriam has a much longer time period that mad rat and instead of the entire world ending it's just her. audrey is basically herding her towards a cat and i feel like she's actually pretty violent before bard is like 'NOOO STOP IT'

bard may have been a cat but they're very nice and would not kill anyone. because that is mean and they are NOT mean. they may have been a stray but they'd always just beg for scraps from humans instead and give them the wettest eyes if they try to feed them a mouse.

mim is also still very distant from other people bc yeah she's still a lab rat and she's learned to not be too attached to other ppl and beside she's already alienated bc she's Weird. so bard is really the first time she's been friends with someone and the fact that she's going to die upsets her deeply. but she's glad she got to meet this stupidly nice little heart because god they're too nice but also they're so friendly and kind to her despite everything.

audrey is very much a beastie of instinct and instead of describing herself as a 'rat god' she more describes about as miriam's 'hero', 'guardian angel', whatever fits the bill for that sort of thing. even tho she very much is not and is scaring miriam into going where she wants since mim is not really a huge fan of the wish thing

a lot of the cities of wandersong is just a bunch of stray rats living and Fucking Chilling. and rat god is still a sort of legend thing but it's kind of a horror story where people go wandering into nowhere and never return.

ALSO. the heart battle is so fucking insane i bet. like bard HATES the idea of fighting miriam but they have to do SOMETHING because clearly mim isn't in her right mind. a lot of the fight is a test of patience i bet bc of this

also also! another counterpart of jack is dream king but he DOESN'T CARE about eating mim at all. lazy guy. audrey is not happy about this.

king of hearts is the main one tho since he starts drowning in place of jack and mim decides to save him!!!!!!!!

most of the monsters in general are just hallucinations

anyway miriam and bard have just this strangely similar dynamic to mad rat and heart. violence and 'be nice to people please :)' + Provider Of Beats

plus it's interesting to explore something where the person with their head on straight is bard bc you don't really equate someone happy-go-lucky like that to be the most realistic between the two! usually it's the pessimist but nah its bard this time <3

godbard au

anyway so basically i want to talk about audrey here bc she's been accused of killing bard and since she's basically forced to come along with miriam and bard she's very upset.

BUT. something very important: i feel like she believes in thought crimes.

she's always prided herself on heroism and she never really thought about it before but after some time around Normal People as a Normal Person she starts to get fucked up over her new thought patterns that she developed by being a hero

this gets even worse when bard and miriam start treating her with genuine concern and kindness because she hates them, and she's certainly thought about killing them

as people start talking abt her she becomes more self conscious and it eventually comes to a climax as she is found out and people go on a full-on witch hunt over her

she's very very prone to violence and as she realizes how fucked up her destiny to end the world is she goes into a downwards spiral as she begins to think about awful things more and more and about if she HAD killed them and watched the life drain from their eyes (and she wouldn't have even felt bad)

and if she finds her sword she only gets worse as the intrusive thoughts get worse and more within reach of being completed and she can't take it

and. um

basically i gave her ocd hours. and i feel like i'm correct <3

#(slamming my hands on the table) PLAY WANDERSONG #i mean i get it if you cant or don't wanna. but also its such a good game. #its got a very interesting exploration of the whole savior of the world trope and a catchy af ost. #and also the characters are lovable and fun #mad rat miriam au #mad rat dead #mrd #wandersong #wandersong au #god bard au

Ugh no, I dislike Marian bc she manipulated my friend Tam. She kept blocking then unblocking him, putting them in some kind of sick cat-and-mouse game. She always tried manipulating him away from me and Club, and her behavior was intolerable. Ik you're all for innocents getting manipulated, but I ain't dealing with it, dear.

Honey what's so hard to understand that what was said was an OBVIOUS TYPO? That's why I paid no mind to it at first, BC I USED MY GODDAMN BRAINS! YOU WERE CLEARLY JUST USING IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO FURTHER HARASS CLUB! HE HID THE COMMENT BC YOU WERE FALSELY ACCUSING HIM OVER IT! Club isn't a groomer, and the people saying he is are either ableist trolls like you wanting a "good" excuse to harass someone, or they're misinformed people who were manipulated by said trolls. How many times will we have to explain it, smh. I would never support actual groomers (such as you lmao), but Club ISN"T ONE.

Uhhh prettyyyy suree Loveless is the one stalking Club, lol. Wouldn't you be as paranoid as he was if you were getting endlessly slandered and harassed like that? Ugh. You do WAY worse to your enemies.

Uh okay and you're just as bad as Sam. Only you're a whole group of people doing this shit. So in a way ig you're worse LMAO...also what happened wasn't Club or Tam's fault so quit making it up as it is.

3 notes

No Tam probably just wanted to defend their friend, why do you assume everything is Club's fault? I swear, one day they'll blame him for the birth of Hitler. And you know what's fucked up? Seeing Tam as nothing but a minion bc of his age. Oh and for the record, you DO lash out and attack them. All the damn time lmao. Do I even have to link the examples???

Bro stop acting like Club's manipulating me when YOU'RE the ones clearly doing it! And just bc I'm a kid doesn't mean I can't say no! Saying children can't stand up for themselves is just wrong. But the reason I don't is bc I GENUINELY APPRECIATE AND CARE ABOUT CLUB! I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST HIM! And if you did think this was true, why did you harass me later on for "not saying no" then? Tsk tsk tsk. And he supports all minorities. But when he made those cute little pride flag drawings YOU MADE FUN OF HIM FOR IT!

Sweetheart if you're so sorry for us then stop contributing to our harassers and also quit accusing us of being future pedophiles. Just ew. Be ashamed of yourself now 7-7

Not all of the hub attacked me, it was probably only Sam. Tri has always been friendly towards me and the whole group shouldn't be blamed for this. Keep in mind this is a place where ANYONE and EVERYONE is allowed to talk! Both good and bad people! Bc unlike you, Tri's actually fair. And unlike this group, YOUR ENTIRE GROUP WANTS TO HARASS ME!

"why do this? is it cuz he gives you crappily drawn art? Is it cuz he tells you stupid shit like 'happy april hurr de durr’ is it cuz he gives you points and core which is WORTHLESS in the grander scheme of things?" Nah it's bc he's our friend and ya'll just salty you don't have any real ones 7w7

"If you continue to ignore this then sorry we are not going to protect you anymore if you are that brainwashed by that shit stained loser Club." Sweetie please you saying you were EVER protecting me is just gross. Kindly fuck off, if you really want me to be safe <3 (Which btw you don't, you're just disgusting manipulators.)

Smh I'm his friend, and listening to a friend's problems IS THE LEAST YOU CAN DO FOR THEM! Club was NEVER trying to harm me! I'm completely fine with being there for him! BC HE'S MY FUCKING FRIEND! Is this how you would react to a friend of yours if they asked if they could vent to you? Just pitiful. If you don't have the emotional energy to listen to someone at the moment, politely tell them so like a normal person jfc.

3 notes

The only reason why he felt the need to seek validation from his friends is BECAUSE OF YOUR GOD-AWFUL TREATMENT OF HIM! You think you can do all the things you did and expect him to still be in a good mental health-state and have good self-thoughts? You think you can gang up on him and tell him he's a terrible person and expect him to not be insecure, scared, self-conscious, OR ANY OF THAT? You need to grow up and learn that your actions HAVE FUCKING CONSEQUENCES, YOU GODDAMN SELFISH 6-YEAR-OLDS! But then again, you would never in your life care if you ever hurt a person, now would you?

Sighhhhh I think that's enough for now lol -w-

Bye, see you tomorrow evening, and sorry for this big one, hehe.

That’s alright. Some people like them have explaining to do, more than they ever can or will.

Regarding the eighth point, admittedly things have improved a lot ever since that was a problem. I can guarantee these days Sam is a non-issue, he may come around but would have his hands tied by better paradigms when he does.

[juuheizou]

heyyy I saw you're answering asks so i wanted to give you one of my own:: how exactly does juuzou feel about physical touch? how does he like it? is he into pda at all? how does he feel w people touching him in general or in a friendly way? at what point of a romantic relationship he feels comfortable w a partner surprising him with cheek, nose and forehead kisses? in what point does he feel comfortable seeking phisical comfort?🥺

Hey! Haha, yeah, I just don't get asks that often, so I can see how it might seem questionable whether I'm answering them at any given moment or not, but I can assure you I always am. Hope this one gives you the insight you're looking for!

how exactly does juuzou feel about physical touch?

Suzuya strikes me as a really touch-happy person trapped in the body of someone with debilitating tactile defensiveness and a long history of that touch-happiness getting him in trouble. His most natural way to show affection is through physical touch. He self-soothes primarily with things he can touch and feel. And, though we don't see as many examples in :RE as the original series, he was prone to solving perceived problems with more destructive forms of touch. His hands are an integral part of how he interacts with the world, and touch is up there with taste among his most important senses.

At the same time, I can see a lack of innately understanding what's considered normal and acceptable when it comes to physical contact getting him in trouble, especially when he was first rescued and integrated into human society. He has learned through bullying and people only seeing the worst in him that he touches things he's not supposed to, whether that be picking up and examining a pile of entrails with his bare hands or grabbing a highly decorated ghoul investigator for their attention over an idea that just popped into his head. That's not even counting the times in canon that he's physically lashed out at people.

I see the same indiscretion being taken advantage of by people like Big Madam. Snuffing out any inklings that something isn't right in their mother/child relationship with a treat like cuddling up together and reading about giraffes, or how her whole system of torture and corporal punishment worked so well with a young Suzuya to begin with. Of course her rewards are affectionate and good; it's some of the closest contact she gives him. So physical touch is something he craves strongly and often, but how he acts on it is somewhat tempered by his experiences as the series and his life go on.

On the purely physical side as well, anyone who explores my blog enough will know I strongly headcanon him as autistic, and think that while it might have affected and been affected by his past with Big Madam, his indifference to pain is one of his many sensory hypo and hypersensitivities that he has always had and would have still had without her influence. Some sensations, he will barely notice at all unless it's to an extreme that would be unbearable to other people, and he seeks some of those ones out both for self-regulation and enjoyment. Others, it doesn't matter how positive the context or how beloved a person they come from-- to him they feel more noxious than pain and may push him into sensory overload, if not a shutdown or meltdown depending on what it is, how much/how long it goes on, and the day he's having. Different kinds of touch fall into one of those extremes or the other.

how does he like it?

He likes deep pressure and firm touches, like a tight hug, being wrapped in a heavy blanket, or having a cat in his lap. Even things like falling from somewhere he likes to climb/perch, taking a hit in battle, or parttaking in extreme body modification can feel kind of good, because a lot of the sensations that would be masked by pain in most people are resistance and pressure. I think if he got to go to one of those trampoline parks with crash mats and foam pits everywhere, he would probably keep throwing himself at stuff until the place closed or he passed out from exhaustion.

When it's something he does to himself, like body stitching or self-injurious stimming, there's also the feeling of doing the act itself, such as the sinking of his needle into skin, which can also feel soothing or satisfying. Between liking the feeling of doing a lot of these things and not being sensitive to the consequences himself, this is also why he can sometimes squeeze too hard or be a little rough when he's on the giving end of affectionate touch, which is most of the time now that it's up to him. It's also why he likes throwing Hanbee so much.

Textures are also very important, even in everyday things like the foods he eats and the clothes he wears, so of course they're important here too. He's definitely a soft, plushy, and fuzzy things autistic. If you don't think he collects plushies to squeeze and snuggle with, you're simply wrong. He enjoys playing with someone's soft hair or squishing his cheek against a fuzzy animal or piece of a person's clothing, but trying to hug him while you're wearing one of his trigger textures is going to be a very disappointing experience. You might even get shoved away.

is he into pda at all?

Oh yes. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective) Mutsuki is absolutely petrified of having attention drawn to him in public, and PDA sure feels like drawing attention to him in public. For Suzuya, however, it would be another layer of something he enjoys on top of a fun day or night out, and who doesn't want to double up on things they enjoy? There are rare occasions where PDA makes Mutsuki feel safe and protected, and Suzuya gets to indulge in it, but for the most part, it's a want that Suzuya keeps to himself, despite the name.

how does he feel w people touching him in general or in a friendly way?

When someone in his inner circle of people figures out how to do it right, he will pester them for more, but the former is a requirement. If Amon or any other macho man at the CCG gave him a stiff, half-assed clap on the shoulder because he did something cool and for a second they forgot he wasn't one of the guys they like, they're going to get their hand swatted away, or grabbed and twisted until it hurts if he doesn't like the person either. However, a clap on the shoulder from Shinohara, firm and hearty and committed to giving him that pressure he craves: he'll keep coming to Shinohara over and over to solicit an annoying amount of claps on the shoulder. He can't stand going to a hairdresser and cuts his hair himself to avoid it, but that doesn't stop him from bouncing up to Akira to see if she'll style his hair.

As much as he enjoys the sensory aspect of touch, there is an emotional aspect too, and I think once he gets used to living his own life and not being Big Madam's pet, he would learn that he really likes personal space just because it's his. Having the choice is just so different and reminds him in a good way how free he is now, so when that control of his own space is encroached on, it might even surprise him how protective he's become of that space. Also, if you don't know him well, chances are you're not going to touch him right.

at what point of a romantic relationship he feels comfortable w a partner surprising him with cheek, nose and forehead kisses?

Probably not ever, honestly, because who knows what kind of day he's having or if he's one small push away from sensory overload and can't even handle things he would normally like. It will always be the safest to ask, verbally or by giving him the chance to meet the other person halfway or choose not to. As much as he would enjoy being on the giving end of surprise kisses, that doesn't mean he has to want the same for himself. And besides, why bother trying to surprise the master of surprises when you can just enjoy his surprises?

in what point does he feel comfortable seeking phisical comfort??

Opposite of the last one, pretty early on. Having something that's a good kind of different from the many ways he self-soothes would be a big motivator for him to let someone else into his life when he's just fine on his own. If they don't hug him better than he can squeeze himself in a nice blanket, why even humor the idea of compromising with someone else's needs and rules? He likes his freedom, after all.

[brick-a-doodle-do]

Hmmmm

Extra to answer your questions in the outline!!!

A gardener Vara fits these two period but yes, a t!Irza would work very well with it! And Vara swearing...nope! Not even when he's alone! Only if you've really done something wrong to trigger him and at that point Irza is usually in the way of the fight happening bc his silent glare is usually enough to make anyone back off...the first person he swore at was Voidshire when they get kidnapped by Ezephr (an arc you'll love), and then at Ezephr wayyyy later in the story where he's basically mad and yelling something about Ezephr being irredeemable, but with cooler and stronger words.

Vara humming deeeeeefinitely pisses Irza off, but only for the first while. After that, he only gets mad about it when he's tired! And like I mentioned in that short story, a lot of his frustrations with whatever Vara does comes from him being in pain or too tired to deal with it!

I showed you that waiting outside the door thing in the story...😈. The food NEVER burns, and Irza has yet to figure out how the cat manages to wait for him and yet absolutely never ruins the food by doing so. It's one of his life's greatest mysteries...

They both have POWERFUL protective instincts, but Vara is more cuddly while Irzayn is like: "Touch him and I'll rip your hand off and shove it down your throat". For...just for an example. Vara...definitely hasn't had to stop him from doing that before.

Yep! Irzayn is only in love with Quickvine! But it sometimes peeks through with Vara since they're the same person and he'll feel a tug in his chest...like at the end of the story I gave you. I'm mentioning that a lot lol, but it's a great reference.

This dragon boy is definitely secretly nice but also not. Irzayn is always controlling his strength, especially when mad. If he didn't he'd be breaking the floor, crushing the TV remote, and tearing doors off their hinges all the time...and yeah he just goes grrrr when he wants em to back off.

T!Irza with g!Vara is only safe because Irza is ridiculously durable. Vara is sweet, bless his heart, but he has very limited self control sometimes...like with that cookie moment.

Yes. Yes Vara has beans. He's half beastling (easiest explanation is cat beastling=cat furry) and half sprite. So he'd normally look more cat like but this world doesn't like half breeds so he uses the sprite's illusion magic to make his hands and feet human. It's strong enough that they feel human too...it's his strongest power and a trump card he can use in a fight. It's him being half beastling that gives him such powerful instincts.

G!Irza is so spectacular. He's like your worst nightmare when he does know you but if you can win him over you suddenly become untouchable. He would pretty much always just leave a spotted borrower alone unless it starts to annoy him. I can see a borrower getting bolder and bolder thinking that the dragon isn't noticing them no matter what they do, only for Irzayn to one day growl at them when they try to take his strawberries without asking.

I haven't touched much on Void in it and I meant Irzayn controlling the shadows to hold down the tiny, but honestly...I love g!Void too. He'd be so kind and friendly and being picked up by him would feel extremely weird...only problem is you can't hear what he's saying.

As for how silent Irzayn is, like it was mentioned by Vara in the short story, you really don't hear anything. The scales was only because Irza is living with Vara and doesn't want to be caught bc he's under the impression all cat beastmen can hear his shadows. When he's alone he truly makes no sound. Silent as a shadow...

Noms discussion warning:

The throat pockets were an idea I came up with randomly but they stuck and I love them toooooo. It would be very confusing to be swallowed, expecting a stomach, only to end up in a weird pocket only a second or two later. Irza is more likely to use those pockets if he noms someone than to truly send them down unless the pockets were full/he was distracted/or he was too tired to care. If he's planning on sleeping, being stuck in a small space like that all night would be unpleasant.

Both of them would definitely nom the tiny to protect from a fight. Vara if he had no choice and Irza...just to be a jerk, honestly. He'd also have hesitations but not near as many and not for the same reasons.

Avoidance reasons—Vara:

Doesn't want to scare the tiny, thinks it's strange he wants to do that, is frightened he'd hurt them, doesn't have permission or time to explain, Irza would tear him apart and he knows it

Avoidance reasons—Irza:

Doesn't want someone shouting/begging from inside him, knows they'll misunderstand and not believe him bc he's a villain, is tempted to let the tiny be in the open and in danger a little bit longer to mess with them, doesn't want Vara to cry

ALSO

Levels of which one is more or less likely to actually happen in terms of noms! Starting from least likely to most likely!

-g!Vara and t!Voidshire (not super likely noms will happen)

-g!Quickvine and t!Voidshire

-g!Vara and t!Irza

-g!Quickvine and t!Irza

-g!Irza and t!Quickvine

-g!Voidshire and t!Vara

- g!Irza and t!Vara

-g!Voidshire and t!Quickvine (extremely likely)

I'm still looking forward to you writing them but I will also certainly write some of my own too!

Any questions you might need for writing them or that I have now spawned in your brain?

me, answering a splurge not 24 hours after it was asked? is this heaven?

wowww bbh dupe AJFJ

mm yes vara has scary dog privileges >:D

OOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS ARC HAS ME INTRIGUED!!! :00000

noted! i totally get that, humming can get annoying so quickly ewfsjfvsjd

WOW that's some talent. at least vara has one talent! LMAO

INSTINCTS BELOVED,,,, i mean they do both have instinct driven animals,,,,, i guess pretty much every animal is instinct driven but STILL a cat and a dragon? best duo and a sea of instincts :D

okay yeah that's what i thought! sehgfjs nahh mention it all you want, it was a lovely story :] <3

DFJFDJS anger issues much?

that cookie moment was GOD TIER dfjfdsk i love vara so much

BEANNNSSSS AHHHHH !!!!!!!! LETS GOOOOO :D oooh i see! i'm learning all abt sprites n shit rn cause of pdam so yee that's cool !!

oh of course he is, he slides into giant and/or human SO easily,,, mwah love him for that, it's not that hard to leave a borrower alone!!

DJFJ yeah that would be a side-effect from his initial lack of care,,,

ohh right,,, and ooo yeah being held by g!void would be so cool- would be like sitting in a void that's really cool aaa

yes i loved u mentioning that in the story cause like vara doesn't know why >:3

vore talk below cut beyond this point (can't add cut cause the ask is too long </3)

the throat pockets are AWESOME like that's something i have NEVER seen before,,,

are they liiike caverns? could you do like a drawing so i can get a visual for it? /nf

i'm picturing just like a tiny lil room just embedded in his throat dsjsjd i'm probably WAY off tho

ALSO how does it open? is irza the only one to be able to open it or can a tiny theoretically fall?

AWWHEJ vara is so /pos when he wants to be :D

totally fair, if humming annoys him quickly then that would definitely piss him off even more,,, and HEY you can't sneak that vaza bit in!!!! does he not want him to cry bc it's annoying or just bc he goes panic mode when he does?

ooo a list! hmmm g!quickvine & t!irza is only third least likely to happen....it's not last...(that's my personal favorite judsjf)

i tackled all of my questions as i went along so nop! and i'm looking forward to writing them too, it'll be a fun experience (and :00 i want all of the g/t fics you write with them when they eventually come >:3c)

🧡 - Physical touch: good or bad for this oc? - for any and all OCs you want to answer for!

Thanks for the ask! :D I'll answer for all of 'em :3

Nahte is very comfortable with physical touch and tends to show affection this way. He grew up in a family environment where things like sleeping in a pile and resting cuddled up was normal (a lot like some colony cats.) So he's certainly not shy about platonic hugs, kisses, cuddles, and holding hands.

Head bunts, scent rubbing, grooming/kneading, and tail wrapping are all frequent gestures offered to close friends and family. The Scions are used to it. It's not entirely uncommon to find him napping in one of their laps or sprawled out on the couch beside them with a hand stretched out just to be touching them.

Having been out in the world a while, though, he's learned this kind of behavior isn't the norm and that it can make people quite uncomfortable to just forehead smack them out of the blue.

He's also more than once sent the wrong signal to people who thought he was flirting or coming onto them, when he was just trying to be friendly.

The impulse is still there, but he'll adapt to his audience.

He's generally ok with other people touching him in kind, though he'll (gently) resist overly familiar contact from a stranger (what he considers overly familiar is just... different from most)

Tsimh is similar to her brother, since they grew up in the same environment and are close in age. She's spent much less time abroad, though, and isn't so inclined to change her behavior for the sake of someone else's comfort. So unlike Nahte, she might head bunt you anyway, and if you take offense insist that well, this is her culture, and she meant it in a nice way.

Also unlike Nahte, if someone tries to touch her and she doesn't feel like it, even family, she will very quickly reestablish that boundary with a cat-slap and/or hiss. She's a lot pickier about who is allowed to touch her back.

As a kid Louis is extremely cuddly. He was climbing pants legs before he could walk. As he grows, he gets a bit more reserved and has a slightly more intuitive grasp on personal space than his Moon Keeper relatives. But he's still all about strong handshakes, brotherly hugs, and kisses from mom.

It would be comically easy to pickpocket him because he has absolutely no problem with other people touching him, for the most part.

Lyrha's complicated. And goes through a lot of phases.

In her days as a pirate, her body was not sacred. It was a tool. People were allowed to touch her based on whether she considered it strategically useful. She didn't have the luxury of deciding what was personally comfortable, it was about survival.

After she's traveled with X'rhun a bit, and isn't a position where she believes such capitulation is necessary, she starts to take her autonomy more seriously. There's likely a span of time where, surprising to her, she doesn't want anyone to touch her, period.

Given a little more time to process her trauma and build up trust with X'rhun and Arya, Lyrha evens back out and does enjoy physical affection from people she likes, which she'll reciprocate and initiate freely.

She's not super affectionate with strangers as a rule, and one trying to hug her is likely to be a bit awkward. She'll eventually also return to a space where she can use her body strategically, but her perspective and confidence behind it are very different from before. She's far pickier about who she takes to bed for her own amusement, too, as her standards have been raised.
