#y'all can have a little marvel content... as a treat

[immortalbumblebee]

Vander Spicy Headcanons

Alright Lovely Readers, don't say I don't know my audience. I remember these being *peak content* back in the day but have never done one myself, but wanted to give it a shot while I work on the next chapter of City of Iron and Glass (sorry for the delay, again, I have covid).

If any of yall would be interested in Silco, Benzo, or other characters, you know how to reach me ;) Be warned, some of these are kinda long because I got thoughts about this man.

Also goes without mentioning, if you're under 18+, please don't read! Not for your little eyes!

Masterlist

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

This man is so damn gentle with the aftercare, my word! Knows how to treat his partner, for sure. You need cuddles? You got it. You need someone to tell you you were a good girl/boy? Search no farther. Need to be left in the quiet and decompress for a minute while he sits next to you and smokes? Sounds good to him. That being said, with the rushed nature of his life, he can't always promise aftercare will last for hours on end, but he does try his best.

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

On him, he likes his arms and (although this one isn't obvious) he likes his hair. Other men his age are balding, ie. Benzo. So the fact that he's still got a full head of luscious locks for you to comb your fingers through? He's a little proud.

On a fem! reader...my money is on Vander being a tit-man. Doesn't matter the size, that's not what matters, but you damn well be prepared for this man to be sneaking looks down your shirt whenever he can get away with it. Being able to tease your nipples while you're making out, one hand on the titty with the other pulling you in by the small of your back, MMMM. If you really want to tease him back, this man would go weak seeing your legs in a pair of heels. They're impractical, so they're practically foreign concepts to him, but seeing the way they make your legs look that long does nothing more than make him want to have them wrapped around him.

For a more masc! or gm! reader, Vander is also very much a sucker for a nice-looking back. Being able to drink up every inch of skin if you're pulling off your shirt while facing away from him? That man will go weak. If that back happens to be tattooed or scarred, even better! Like paint on a canvas, it gives him something to marvel at and trace with his eyes as he comes up behind you and kisses your neck while his hands sneak down and unbuckle your pants.

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

It is a fandom-accepted fact that Vander has a breeding kink, no question. Of course, protection is important because logically this man knows he has enough kids. But once y'all are in a fully committed relationship and he's getting more comfortable? You're either gonna wanna invest in some kinda birth control pill, or start having some conversations because this man is giving you creampie after creampie, you best believe.

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

When he was younger and more of a lil' shit, he would get a hell of a lot riskier with the local of his exploits. Alleyways, rooftops, under the bridge, bathrooms of very pubic bars? Anywhere where he could get a moment alone with his lover, or at least anywhere where he could get away with it, basically. This led to him being caught a handful of times.

Needless to say, that was a habit he cut real quick when the kids came into the picture.

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

This man was a WHORE and a FLIRT in his youth! Don't try and tell me any different. Silco had to hear many a'story about his "brother's" sexual exploits in morning-after chats, much to Silco's annoyance. He had a handful of semi-serious situation-ships, and even a couple actual serious things that he would say came close to actual love. But mostly, he was present in the hookup culture and has quite a bit of experience.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

He is a simple man with simple needs and swears by missionary. Anyone who says missionary is "too vanilla" is just wrong, I'm sorry. Being able to see your expressions, whisper how good you feel into your ear, manhandle your leg up around his shoulders, and have access to your clit/dick while he's inside you (yes he's a service top, that was never a question)? Yes please.

That being said, he is also a fan of doggy or spooning when in the right mood; like doggy right after a fight, or spooning when it's early morning sex *chefs kiss*.

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

Although in his youth he used to be more serious in the moment, as he's learned to not take everything so seriously and loosen up, Vander definitely prefers a partner that knows how to laugh. Of course, there are going to be explicit moments that have a certain mood (angry fucking mostly), for the most part, he wants all time with his s/o to be happy and joyful, so yeah, there are going to be moments even during sex when Vander will want to laugh with you.

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

The carpet definitely matches the drapes, thick brown hair all the way. However...well-groomed this man is not. He'll trim it down if it gets way out of hand and if he has a moment in the bathroom by himself. But for the most part? Nah, that bush isn't being trimmed for quite a while. He doesn't view it as a necessity, and just doesn't think about it that much honestly. If you have a serious issue with it though, he'll try and put it somewhere into his regular hygiene routine.

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

Although he doesn't always have the time or resources to be as romantic as he'd like, once he finds the partner he wants in his life long-term this man is romantic as fuuuuuck! You got the most loving words being kissed into your skin, all the looks of adoration in his eyes when he's with you, just all of the stuff. Especially if you're having a real moment alone, he's taking advantage of the situation at its fullest and pouring every ounce of love into you.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

In his younger years? Would absolutely 100% every chance he got, probably every day if not twice a day (help him wake up in the morning, then to mellow out at night). But when he's older there's less time and less of a need for it, especially with you as whenever he gets the itch, he'd prefer you over his left hand any day of the week.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Breeding kink. I don't care that I've already mentioned it, it's getting mentioned again. Other than that? He's a switch, leaning more towards being a gentle dom but could be put into a slight sub role with the right person. Light impact play when giving, is not opposed to being tied up as long as the person knows what they're doing. Loves biting his partner, even if he has to be careful about where he leaves marks. Also has a thing about partially-clothed sex. Like, you in a skirt hiked up around your waist or your shirt unbuttoned with him with his pants barely pulled down halfway? It's the one thing about quickies that really gets him going.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

As mentioned, in the past he was a lot more...lax about the 'where' of the situation. But now? Purely where it's safe. The most adventurous he will get is the bar when it's closed, blinds drawn, door locked, no chance of the kids seeing. Other than that, it's his room or nothing.

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

Man tries so hard to hide the fact that his sex drive is so high. Tries to act all stoic, especially around other people, but in reality, all it takes is for you to give him that look and to lean over the counter, giving him a really nice view, and he is so ready to just jump your bones right then and there. That being said, romantic moments are his jam and he loves when you both sweep each other off your feet. Dancing to the jukebox in after-hours? After putting the kids to bed? Making breakfast in the morning? Little romantic or domestic moments are his whole reason.

That also being said, a strategically-placed instance of running your fingers through his hair, bending over in front of him, kissing his neck when nobody's watching...good way to get yourself fucked three ways to Sunday later.

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

Anything that's too rough. Hitting, punching, knife/gunplay are out of the question because, well, you and the kids are his whole reason for giving up violence in the first place. There is a time and a place for those things in his mind, and that does not include the bedroom during sexy times.

Also, I may lose some of you here but...this man will not be down for being called Daddy. Maybe off-handedly in his youth, but once he becomes an actual father? Nuh-uh, nope. He does not wanna be thinking about his children when he is balls-deep inside you. Not what he meant when he said he wanted to put a baby in you.

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

This man would eat pussy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if you let him, no crumbs. He loves having you on your back with your thighs squeezing his head, don't get me started. Overall, he just loves giving oral to you and being able to make you feel good.

That being said, there is a very primal part of him that definitely prefers receiving. Seeing you on your knees for him, being able to grip your hair and slide his cock down your throat and have you gag around him? Fuck that gets him. Although he doesn't like to admit it, he also likes that it's one of the only things that are primarily about his pleasure. He loves his leadership of the lanes, but being able to relinquish control and be taken care of by the one person he trusts more than anyone else? There's something special about that to him. This love for getting head also carried on from his youth, when he would love nothing more than skull-fucking someone in a back alleyway late at night.

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

Starts out slow, wanting to savour every single moment and focus intently on you and your reactions to everything he does. Wants to remember everything, commit it all to memory and file it away under all the good memories he has of you. But eventually, as it carries on, his youthful impatience comes back to him and all that wanton loving is thrown out the window because you just feel too-fucking-good and he needs to be drowning in you, your scent, and your noises ASAP.

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

Vander has a love-hate relationship with quickies. On one hand, they're handy when it's a busy night and you're able to sneak away for a second after you've been teasing him and giving him fuck-me eyes all day. But he also doesn't find them nearly as fulfilling as the "real thing". He prefers being able to take his time with you, savouring it and giving you all the aftercare you could ever ask for. If sex is a full-course meal, quickies are an afternoon snack to Vander.

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

Again, as previously stated, in his youth he was all about the risk. Loved the possibility of getting caught, of pissing someone off, of rebelling and causing general havoc. But now that he's older and there are real consequences, he's far less inclined. One of you could get hurt, or the kids could walk in, or what if something terrible happens.

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

Bro this man was a one-man army in his youth and you're gonna try and tell me he can't go for more than one full round? Get outta here! Not-quickies, full rounds last long with him; he's determined to draw this out as long as he can, and that's part of the reason he doesn't find quickies all that great. And although he does have a fairly long recovery time between rounds, you can expect around 2-3 if he's able to get away with it, more if you spread it out over a day.

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

Again; simple man, simple pleasures. Also a tad old-fashioned in some ways. Doesn't really believe toys need to be implemented in your guys' sex life. After all, what can a bit of silicone do that he can't? If you have your own toys that you're not willing to just up and dispose of, he could be willing to try one out if it's nothing too crazy. But he'll need some convincing, and it won't be a regular occurrence. Doesn't have much of an issue with you using toys to satisfy your needs in your "personal time", however.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Depends on the mood, honestly. Most of the time, he won't outright tease you, especially in public or when there are people around. That was a lot of his youthful arrogance back in the old days. But now, if he's feeling particularly troublesome he is definitely not opposed to a stealthy slap to the ass if you're behind the counter with him, or a mouthful of the filthiest pickup lines you've ever heard once you're alone together. His favourite is to slide his hand down your spine if it's a slow day and you're talking to a customer, feeling you shiver as his hand makes its way to lay on the cusp of your ass while you try your best not to show any reaction.

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

Was never one to be particularly loud. Loves dirty talk, especially when you're about to finish so he can make you just that much more whiny and needy. But when he slips into you/when he's about to cum inside of you? MMmmmm these man's groans in that deep voice of his, ooh boy.

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

Has totally done it in the back of Benzo's shop one time and feels SO incredibly guilty about it. Benzo was out for the night and he was using it for something or another, you happened to be there with a bottle of whisky and, well... Would actually die if you told Benzo, as he does not want to deal with his best mate ridiculing him to hell and back. It does NOT get mentioned at all, in fact, and if you try and mention it he will go red in the face and change the topic.

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

'I just know this man is sporting a horse cock"

Listen, Vander is hung and I think we can all agree on that. Long, for sure, and very girth with just the slightest bit of a curve.

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

A lot higher than he would probably like it. In his youth, it was a little out of control, and although it's definitely gotten lower now that he's less hormonal all the time; he definitely still has quite the drive in him.

I mean hey, he needs some sort of release after he put down the gauntlets, I'm just saying!

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

In true Dad fashion, Vander can fall asleep anytime and anywhere. And although he is the aftercare king, if he doesn't need to rush back immediately to whatever job he was in the middle of, he's passing out in a few minutes flat if you let him. He'd prefer to fall asleep with you in his arms or on top of him, but if you're not a cuddler, then he is more than fine to just pass out next to you once he's assured you're happy and healthy and fully satisfied.

I mentioned I wanted to see more/make more platonic yandere kinks/ideas/aus... so may I present the 🍓StrawberryMilk!AU. This au probably won't be explored as much as the others, but is still a platonic yandere ONLY au. No romance, intercourse, or anything too weird or gross... but, I might need to set up a few warnings for it, just in case.

What we can expect from this new au: fluffy part-cow platonic yandere Marvel characters, soft moments, a bit of forced body-modification (it is not bloody at all, or squicky), milk (the safe kind, not the forbidden kind that should not be sold to the general public), and the bby being treated as a younger member, regardless of their age.

What might be upsetting to some people: cows (look, some people have a fear of them; and that is okay. But, c'mon. Who doesn't want to see their favorite Marvel platonic yan as part fluffy cow?), possible agere-ish? stuff (it is okay to like that sort of thing. But if you don't want to see something similar to that, then please avoid this au, okay?), bby being in a stressful situation, as well as lactation (Yes, even from the guys. This is a fluffy cow au. That is usually a given); and heads up, the bby might end up drinking the milk (the safe kind).

And remember, everyone: NONE OF THIS IS S*XUAL.. My posts are meant to be a safe place for those who want to get away from the romantic and s*xual writings, and for those who enjoy platonic yandere Marvel content. Is some of this weird? Yeah, sure. Is it wrong? I don't know. All I know is that it isn't hurting anyone, that I mean all of this to be platonic, no matter what it is that I write, and for everyone to have a good time and enjoy their platonic wants without any fighting, s*x, or romance. It's okay for us to want to keep things platonic. We aren't less human for it. I hope those who read what I write like what I post, while avoiding what you don't like (even if it is another post of mine). This has been a mulled-over honeycomb thought. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Edit for this post: what I mean for this au is to pretty much explore the fluffy cow side of platonic yanderes. I mean, come on. Have y'all seen a Highland cow? Or a little baby cow? Or a baby Highland cow?! They are so cute! And, while this au may explore the slightly uncomfortable theme of being treated younger than you actually are, it never goes anywhere beyond possibly being babied a little. I think I need to do a post for this au, actually, exploring it a bit.

Dickriding on Gira like that is insane. Idk how old are you but get a job fr.

So, I want to call you out here just a little bit. The problem is not that I want to ride Giras dick. (She draws great dick and I still don't want to ride that either.) It's that I've reached my absolute fucking LIMIT with the way that 'antis' within the fandom treat artists and authors that do anything they don't like. The sheer disconnect from how the real world works and how y'all engage with fandom content is truly mind boggling, and more than that it's actively upsetting now. The way that the 'anti' movement likes to only go after larger creators? Driven by jealousy and clout-chasing and trying to find the only edge that they can peel up to get at someone. Inevitably, harassment comes first from the Anti camp. From the 'Think of the Children' camp. From people who are so interested in handing their agency over to the loudest voice in the room that they can't really filter their own experiences, and rely on other people to do it for them. It's also the Antis that inevitably have gore and cp folders that they open up to send to people they don't like. Normal people don't do that shit.

Child, I was there in the days before FF.net. I was there during Strikethrough. I was absolutely devastated to wake up one day to find my whole online world just gone, because some extremist group decided that I was 'problematic'. My crime? Being in a CSA survivor support group. I haven't interacted with any survivor support group since, because that's how people like you go after people like me. Anon, you're not interested in 'stopping harassment', you're interested in riding bitch on the crusade. I was there when Deviantart cracked down on NSFW art and then later embraced it as a cash machine. I was THERE when Ao3 was batted around and then planted in the ground. I have had a tumblr in one form or another since 2012. I had a fucking geocities handle. I am in fact the Fandom Old that you hear about all the time. I survived the Dramione wars. I survived the Fifty Shades discourse. I watched as the Homestuck fandom cannibalized itself and then turned its bleeding empty maw onto Voltron, and in that bacchanal of violent rhetoric, 'Antis' were born. I was there when Marvel went from Iron Man to what it is now. I own a copy of Shonen Jump USA vol. 1. I got it when I was a 6th grader, from the grocery store it was sold in. I'm from the fucking Transformers fandom, you bloodless toothless infant. I was there when people like you decided that it was okay to be cruel, instead of just wandering past what they don't like. Child you are not entitled to an opinion, until you are ready to come to the table in good faith. Not a single Anti I know is willing to see past their own megachurch-style 'might makes right' and exclusionary fear of anything not their own. You walk in footsteps well worn, and I am so fucking tired of being hunted. So I'm going to continue pulling your aggro, because it seems like those of use who are professionals at shipping need to finally try to do something about the poison you're dropping in our well. Die fucking mad about it, and I'll see you in hell when you do.

Sooo.... Microsoft just bought Activision Blizzard.... for $70 Billion. Yes. With a "B". ALL CASH, y'all.

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2022/01/18/welcoming-activision-blizzard-to-microsoft-gaming/

Call of Duty, Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Guitar Hero, shit, Crash Bandicoot, every single game by Activision Blizzard is owned by Microsoft.

If you don't understand, this is like Disney buying Marvel. Now there are TV shows dedicated to Disney Hotstar, Movies releasing in theater will also release in Disney Hotstar after a few months, etc.

Activision Blizzard is now not the top of the food chain. Microsoft will be above them. This means that everything that comes out, they will have to report to Microsoft before launching. To add to that, there might be some XBOX exclusive content, but of course not leaving PlayStation out of it. Leaving PS is just stupid since it's the biggest sales field for CoD and other games.

And you know what made me laughed out loud? This is the tweet from Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft rn :

https://twitter.com/satyanadella/status/1483431765616119809?s=20

"We will usher in a new era of gaming that puts players and creators first and makes gaming safe, inclusive, and accessible to all."

>>> "puts players and creators first and makes gaming safe, inclusive, and accessible to all." <<<

Microsoft literally knows that Activision Blizzard SUCKS at these things. AB's been releasing updates and games like crazy for money and even though it is a guaranteed revenue every time, it is undeniable that the players are NOT happy. The yearly releases cycle exhausts the devs, and this is where we're at right now. Freaking beta version games on sale, very little changes every game, and the Warzone integration every single game.

-------

Now, with Microsoft on the driver seat, things will change a lot. I'm hoping they broke AB's yearly recycle releases to about 2-3 years, that's for sure. Also, I hope they freaking treat their staff better.

Microsoft has bought AB, but the acquisition will not go through until June 2023.

That's still a long, long time. This means that CoD2022 will still launch this year, big changes to Warzone will still go, but after that? Now this is the shit. In 2023, we don't know what CoD they'll release. Maybe a BO5? Well, now that Microsoft owns them, they can be like, "Hey, you know what? No CoD this year, peeps. Keep working on that, we'll release it next year." or "Hey, peeps, no CoD this year, or forever." LOL IDK.

We'll see how Microsoft will do. I love Activision Blizzard games. I love Call of Duty and Overwatch most of all. I'm sincerely hopeful of this changes.

Thank You For Dropping Me Off, Sir

Now I've talked a lot about Armando's denial and given the facts to prove it. What I don't want getting lost in translation though is that though Armando does care about Betty, you cannot deny that he is also concerned over the company, however it(his feelings towards Betty) is the the real reason he continues with the plan.

@el-moscorrofio-y-el-mercachifle (They're the poster about Aura Maria and Mario their post is Episode 64, go read it if you haven't had the chance!) mentioned something that I hadn't thought about all that well, that due to Armando's tendency of people pleasing he often does things out of a deep responsibility for their happiness and his guilt.

When Mario manipulates him this day(the day after he first kissed Betty) he really switches language as he tells him "I don't like this." "I'm worried." He's after our(my) money." which moves Armando to continue with the plan, for the sake of Mario and the company and everyone else in the company but now he has another reason, he somewhat wants to understand what he feels.

Now let's jump into the scene I'll be breaking down.

Betty is being dropped off by Armando. She is still keeping this very PG, trying to justify his actions to them being work related. Again this is very true of a person who has experienced real heartbreak of the romantic kind. Like I mentioned in the previous post I was in toxic friendship, when that friendship was over I spent years guarding myself around anyone and making no efforts to from friendships of any real substance and when I did I worked really hard to keep them at arm's length. This was my defense mechanism and I appreciate the fact that they show this with Betty.

In most instances they don't portray characters with emotional damage all too well or one could assume that Betty does this because she's insecure and though to some degree that's true, Betty also does this to protect herself from having to once again experience heartbreak and this time from someone who she actually cares about, not someone who in some way forced himself to be her interest.

Miguel wasn't just a guy who used her and got money out of it. That wasn't the only thing that broke Betty.

Miguel presented himself as a love interested to Betty, who didn't like him at first but was flattered by his attention, as she later tells Armando that she up to that point thought no man would ever pay attention to her as a woman. Betty was somewhat guarded but once she let her guard down she fell in love.

She says she gave all of herself and all her love to him. He was her first love but Miguel didn't care. To Betty what Miguel did translated to him finding her so repulsive, so heinous, and disgusting that even her love wasn't enough to change his heart and he shared her naked spirit to his friends all for money and to make fun of her. It wasn't a question of ego but rather of worth.

This with every right left Betty traumatized. So when she speaks over him, interrupts Armando and justify it as him being drunk, not knowing what he was doing, depressed, stressed, anguished for the company and exceeding himself with beautifiers, she is trying not to feed her hope. She is trying to remain grounded and safe because unlike with Miguel Betty on her own has discovered who Armando is and decided to fall in love with him. What she feels for his is true and genuine feelings that weren't "forced" or pushed onto her like with Miguel. If she allows herself to believe what he is saying she is allowing herself to fall victim to loves cruelty again.

Armando soberly repeats the same things he had drunkenly told Betty the previous night. That he can't live without her.

"But you haven't lived without me, Sir. I work by your side more than eighteen hours (Girl I would've done killted myself if I had to work beside a man as neurotic as Armando for 18+ hours a day!No matter how good the view is!) a day."

"Yes but now it's different, Beatriz, because I feel these desires[I can't really hear what he said] to caress you, to kiss you." He says leaning forward after touching the side of her face with the back of his fingers, but Betty pulls back and says "No".

As he pulls away Armando studies Betty's face and looks embarrassed as well as confused at Betty's rejection all the while trying to remain composed.

This is when Betty names the list of reasons not to believe Armando is interested in her and Armando gets mad at her.

He openly yells "No,no,no, I'm not confused Beatriz!" he says between clenched teeth and turns to look at her. "I am not. I feel perfectly sure that what I'm saying is the truth."

"Sir, the thing is that it's not possible for you to have taken notice of me."

Angirly now Armando screams at her "But why!"

Why does he react so angrily at Betty for this? For one because he doesn't like for Betty to invalidate his feelings(again this shows he feels comfortable being himself around her) and that she wouldn't believe that he likes her.

I mentioned already that Armando's tone gives us a true understanding of what he's saying and with what intention even when his body language is different. Here he is upset that Betty doesn't believe him and mostly that she doesn't see why he'd be interested in her.

"But why?" he asks more calmly at seeing Betty's reaction.

She nervously begins to explain "Because I know your type really well. You are of fine palate. You like women who are ninety, sixty, ninety, tall, pretty, with class, and-and I don't correlate with any of those characteristics, sir."

"Yes that's true." They both laugh nervously, "Betty, Betty, Betty." He is now trying to find the words to speak. "I love,love, your-your, strength hmm" He nods and here we see him slowly become more honest as he finds the qualities of Betty's that he loves/likes. "I love that energy that I feel when we're together, I love it. I love the way you do things like so sure of it." He smiles and turns to look at her and then tells her. "I also love your softness(tenderness/gentle nature)." he says looking away from her now being shy and then looks back at her and tells her "I love that gift you've got, of managing people. I really love that."(y'all this is why she works 18+ hours with him, I get it).

Again he starts to struggle to find the words but he finds them and unlike the first reason he listed (her strength) he is actually being honest even though he is doing the same gesture(from what I've read often times when you are reading body language you don't just focus on the gesture but overall the entire context; like tone of voice, subject of conversation, speech patterns, ect. We can conclude that Armando is being honest here as it shows a very natural pattern of behavior of his here instead of seeming tense, now he is actively wanting to find the words to speak) "I love your sensibility, man, you've got a very special sensibility." Betty now looks away from him with a slight smile and he seems Contentment with her reaction(Even in the past, before all of this, Armando has always had a face of contentment/joy when he sees Betty smile, especially when he is the one that makes her smile and because of that he kept trying to actively treat her better so that he could be the cause of it; it's a sense of reward really. He did something nice for her and she'd be happy and that would make him happy. A clear demonstration of this is when Armando talks to Betty about her new raise) and he tells her "Betty it's because you're like a little angle to me. Plus I love your personality, what a (the word he uses literally translates to hot or scorching but we'll use another one) welcoming personality and and I love you intelligence. The way you so efficiently do things. It's because I think that any man would find all of that attractive now, don't you think?"

Armando started struggling to consciously find what he likes about her but all of a sudden he can't stop naming them or talking about the things he finds attractive of Betty's. Like a vail has been dropped in his brain all of a sudden>

"Mmm, no." Betty shakes her head in response to his question. "Definitely not, Sir."

"No?" He chuckles nervously "then I don't know what's going on with me then so then I'm going crazy...crazy for you. See I want you to know that since I found out about Nicolas I felt a lot a lot of fear. I felt a lot of anguish and believe me, I felt a lot of anguish but also this desire to caress you and kiss you. " In this sentence we get a shift of tone of voice showing that he shifts from being honest to being manipulative.

"No, no, Sir. What I was only going to tell you is that I don't understand why you feel that about me. I can't find any motive why[you would]."

Armando's tone has now shifted to manipulation, no longer being light hearted and natural.

"This goes to prove that what one feels goes beyond physical appearance, the stereotypical, you understand me?" then again shifts to his natural voice "Betty I know that you've probably thought that the woman of my life has to be a ninety, sixty, ninety, with these marvelous curves, with generous breast, blue eyes, very tall," he says very clearly showing that he likes that and Betty seems down about it until he turns to look at her "like the models, right? But look none of those models have made me happy. I haven't felt for anyone, what I feel for you Beatriz Pinzon Solano." The final sentence he says with conviction. You can't overlook or ignore that as confusion, this shows us that Armando to some degree knows that what he feels for Betty goes beyond anything he's ever felt for anyone.

Now next he closes his eyes to go onto this monologue that beauty isn't what media feeds us but rather something that is deeper than skin. That is it based on the substance of a person, speaking Betty's love ideal here. Why does he have his eyes closed?

He can openly talk about Betty and the wonderful qualities that he finds attractive but he can't openly talk about Betty's physical appearance because up to this point he hasn't accepted or had to face that reality yet.

Betty the whole time is paying attention to what he's saying, his body language. This is why Betty lives sure and convinced of what he is telling her because she's learned to read him like her favorite book and that's the thing.

Betty is very aware of Armando's feelings, boundaries, and flaws. Just like Mario is and we see that in the office when they see each other for the first time after the kiss. Betty inspects his behavior and then decides to act like nothing happened, not only to protect herself but to not make him uncomfortable. The difference however is that while Mario uses his knowledge on Armando to manipulate and force him to do things, Betty doesn't. Betty uses this knowledge to help him and to encourage him in his growth by celebrating his victories and standing beside him when he fails. She doesn't demand for him to change or stop doing what he is, instead she allows him to behave how he does but she isn't shy to show how she feels about it. While Armando isn't so much intune or aware of Betty's feelings because he's so focused on what Betty does for him, however this doesn't dismiss that because of the way Betty loves him, it also inspires him to change and that's really the biggest lesson we get with these two and we're only getting started.

"Are you sure you haven't had anything to drink, sir?"

"I'm sober, Betty, but I'm hallucinating, and that's real." he looks away from her and then back "I'm hallucinating but for you. Of you, Betty." he leans forward. Now the music here gives us the understanding that it is meant to be intriguing(I love the soundtrack so I looked it up and that's legit the title track for this theme) .

Music is a huge part of cinema as it is proven to affect the audience and convey feelings otherwise dismissed. The music creates an air of mystery now because we don't know if what Armando is saying and doing is honest now while in the past we could pick up on it now it's a lot harder to do so.

However one can imagine that while he had his eyes closed he was pictureing Adriana Arboleda sitting in front of him(why else would they show us Mario giving him the picture and telling him to just picture her instead) instead of Betty.

Betty turns to look at the moon after he points it and she smiles.

"Yes the moon is very beautiful. How curious." she speaks as Armando now looks at a picture of AA. "It's the same moon that's inspired so many poets throughout a lot of human history." Here Armando takes in a deep breath is seems to be pumping himself up, he takes off his glasses. Betty is still looking up at the moon and says "There's nothing that inspires more than the moon." Armando sleeks his brows(he wanted to look presentable IG) and agrees with her, now his hand under her chin her turns her around towards him.

"And that's our moon, Beatriz and this is our night." He now leans closer.

Now I see many people point out that Armando's eyes are open when he kisses Betty but this is something he does with Marcela as well which indicates that it isn't based on disgust but mostly guilt.

As they kiss at first his eyes are wide open and then tightly shut(if I'm being honest, as a person who hates romance(ironic huh) I hate with a passion, kissing scenes so this is hard for me to watch lol like I've seen from the nose up, nothing below that so I know how Armando reacts as wella s Betty but the mouth part is the one that grosses me out the most) . Betty takes ina sharp breath and pulls away and now Armando opens his eyes surprised and does the same.

"No, Sir.." Betty is now the one struggling to find words.

"You didn't like it?" He asks but states at the same time.

Betty nods gently, however her eyes are wide. Betty is terrified here and it isn't because Armando is taking advantage here(he's not) it's because she is terrified of all the implications it means. For one she is allowing herself to have hope for a relationship with Armando, for her to show her love to him and for him to love her for it, despite the fact she's "ugly". It means that she is setting herself up for a potential heartbreak that could be the end of her.

"Lets move from here, it's cause my dad peeps out through the windows and he can come and see what's going on and I don't want that."

"Yeah me either."

They move from location and Betty proceeds to speak.

"Sir this isn't correct. I don't know what's going on with you. I'm starting to get worried, Sir. "

"What is it Betty? Is that you suddenly don't feel anything for me?" He tries to stay composed but his micro expression shows worry.

"Of course I do." He looks somewhat relieved while maintaining a poker face. "I admire you a lot. You're a man that's so-so interesting." he smirks and raises an eyebrow showing approval of what she said as well as confident in himself 'Of course you do'.

"I started to feel that you were special for me when you started to defend my work. To value me as a professional." He still seems pleased but not as much. As Betty relays all of this in the professional element(While Armando focused on the person). We know why it was so important to her that Armando did this and why he became special to her for it, however Armando doesn't. "and I realized how important I am for your life.(osea, how important of a role she plays in his life)" Armando now has eyebrows raised and is blinking rapidly. He is really paying attention to what she is saying. and trying to comprehend as well "All of these things attract me from you." she says timidly.

He now has to face this new reality, that though he confessed true attraction based on her person, Betty has only relaid professional or work related qualities that attract her, not him as an individual and why it bothers him.

"That-that's wonderful, Betty."

"But this is crazy, Sir. You have a girlfriend, you're going to get married." He turns from he and opens his mouth slightly in shock and then turns back to look at her. "You can't leave Marcela to start a relationship with me."

He now looks at her with a frustrated expression.

"It would be terrible, your family would not allow it... and what would happen with me? You have to really think this through."

"No, Betty, but of course. It can be crazy, of course. What's happening is that I already... I already experienced something. Yes and I already confirmed that I want to keep living it. Now you're right I can't breakup with Marcela, just like that. The situation with Eco Moda is too difficult to end things with her right this moment, plus my relationship with my family is in crises, I think they wouldn't take the sandal and neither would I but you better than anyone know I don't love Marcela. See if that's the case, what's the fear? Let's continue ahead, Betty. Besides it's about feelings. I have to feel for you, you have to feel for me. We'll see til where we go. Don't you think?" The music theme is titled "secrecy".

"I'm just so afraid, Sir."

"Or is it because you feel more for that sir, Nicolas?" he says with a tinge of jealousy.

"Ay, sir, lets take Nicolas out of this conversation, you want to?"

"Yes clearly, that's what I want. So what then? What's the fear? Huh? You've risked everything for me, see, together we've done a lot crazy things. We've been accomplices in a lot things and now you're going to tell me that you don't have the bravery to live this next to me? Or you don't want to live it, Betty?

"Of course I do, Sir."

"Yes?" He now shifts to kiss her.

After their kiss, after Armando does that disgusted face again, Betty agrees to be his other woman.

His phone starts to ring and Marcela is a very possessive manner tells Armando that she's waiting for him and just wanted to make sure he was going to go over, that she a very delicious dinner for him.

After he hangs up and he agrees to drop her off he tells Betty "You look very precious." And she scoffs in a lighthearted way, finding it funny that he'd say that.

Marcela legit made fun of her and said that she looked worse than she had the day before so it amuses her that Armando would say that.

"One last question, will Mr. Mario Calderon know of this?" she asks as they arrive at the front of her house. "It's just that you both are so trusting of each other, you tell each other everything. I wouldn't want for him nor anyone to know of this, Sir. In some way you have a relationship with Ms. Marcela and by accepting this affair I take on the role of you lover."

"No don't say that." Again this entire things highlights Armando's true nature of his obsessiveness with physical perfection and how it's the only way he can ever be attracted to a woman so he feels grossed out by the idea of having to do anything more than kissing, and lover implies that they do more than kissing. He'd know, he's an expert in the subject.

This is when Armando promises to Betty not to tell Mario about this.

This is his second mistake with Betty.

The first being that he starts his relationship in the bases of lies.

The drop off:

Now as the nights go on there's a change of pace to the drop offs in front of Betty's house.

This first time Betty waves good-bye to him and he repeats to himself he's a piece of ish over and over again, angirly. Duh, he feels guilty.

Betty's dad then opens the door and Armando urgently drives off. Later we see that he does this frequently but slowly he begins to take a while longer before driving off, which demonstrates his longing for Betty.

Inktober/OCtober Week 1

I’m going to be posting these in batches of weeks to give myself time to catch up if I need it! Every week will have 7 doodles plus a short story to go along with each one.

So I decided to just make this a Llyra study month since I’ve been missing writing and drawing her!

I made these following @oc-growth-and-development​ ‘s prompt list for this year.

Day 1 - Beginnings

The sounds of the train starting on its journey rang in Llyra’s ears, bringing a smile to her face. She made her way from her seat to the back of the train, out onto the small balcony. 

As the train pulled out of the station, she stared off into the night sky, leaning on the railing. “This is it” she thought, “I’ll finally learn something new.”

She glanced back at her bag, thoughts wandering to the spellbook and wand waiting inside, of the spells buzzing in her mind as she mentally went over her routine for the entrance exam in the morning. Thilmserine was a small town, tucked away in the mountains and far too small and boring for her tastes. But the wondrous tales she had heard of the nearby Abizum Academy had set her heart aflame. 

Her smile grew wider as she watched her hometown shrink in the distance until it disappeared from view. She turned from her spot on the balcony and made her way back to her seat, turning her back on Thilmserine and towards her new beginning.

Day 2 - Dance

Music floats softly throughout the garden, a nearby bard practicing for his show, no doubt. Many were up dancing while most stuck to the outside tables, sharing drinks and laughing, celebrating surviving the recent vampire attack on the town. 

Llyra taps her fingers on the table to the beat of the music, itching to get up and move but her companions seemed content to mill around their table. Her eyes wander around her party until landing on her dragonborn friend. A soft smile appears on her face as Pokke notices her gaze.

“Dara, would you like to dance?”

“Eh?” Pokke tilts her head to one side, “Me?”

“Of course. Come on, it’ll be fun!” Llyra stands up and offers her hand out.

Pokke sighs and takes the hand extended to her “You won’t take no for an answer, huh?”

“Nope!” Llyra smiles and leads Pokke closer to where the bard was playing, the soft music lilting through the garden.

Llyra takes the lead in the impromptu waltz, placing a hand on Pokke's shoulder and taking her hand with the other. She smiles and laughs as they make their way around the space, gently swaying and turning to the beat of the music.

"If I could spend the rest of my days in this easy bliss, I would be happy…" she thinks to herself as she loses herself in the music and the moment.

Day 3 - Feast

"Woah!" Llyra marvelled at the spread being set down in front of her on the table. From rare meats to juicy fresh vegetables and everything in-between, Varis brought tray after tray of food for the party that evening.

He smirks as he sets down another plate worthy of a king and finally takes his seat at the table. "It's not much but I thought I would show my gratitude for lettin' me travel with y'all." 

"Not much?" Anya says from her seat beside him, "This is enough food to feed a whole village! No, two villages!"

"I think that's a bit of an exaggeration…" Llyra pours a glass of wine for herself, "But this really is a lot of food Varis."

"Perhaps, but at least we won't go hungry for a while, eh? Eat up!" 

Llyra smiles and lifts her glass, "To Varis! And his great cooking skills!"

"To Varis!" The party chimes in after her, the sounds of glasses and cups clinking filling the small tavern.

------

Llyra pulls her knees closer to her chest as she sits by the campfire that night, the small hut they took shelter in barely shielding the party from the wind.

The lackluster dish of food lies untouched at her feet, only serving as a reminder of what they lost that day.

The mound of earth that serves as Varis' grave is barely visible out of the shack's door, Pokke and Shanan were finishing filling it in before returning to the camp.

A silence falls over the party as they mull over the events of the day, Llyra's attention squarely on the fire and the distorted lump of earth she could see through the heat. Leaving her wondering what could've been if she'd just been faster, smarter, able to think clearly at all. Instead she walks away unscathed while another companion joins the sea of souls that haunt her dreams.

Day 4 - Nature

“Another one?” Llyra watched while Anya placed a potted plant on the shelf above her desk.

“It brightens up the room, no?” Anya smiled, arranging the leaves to be more aesthetically pleasing.

“Perhaps… But you know how bad I am at taking care of these things Anya.” Llyra gestures to the other plants on the shelf which were in various different states of dying.

Anya sighs and reaches up for the dying plants, easily bringing life back to the flowers and leaves with her druid magic. “Maybe I should bring you a cactus or something, they’re easy to take care of.”

Llyra rolls her eyes, “I think they’d be better off in your house than mine, I’m too busy to take care of myself most of the time, never mind taking care of this many plants as well.”

The tiefling lays a hand on her friend’s shoulder, “That, I am also working on. So come on we’re going out to dinner.”

“Eh? W-Wait!” Llyra says with a laugh as she’s dragged towards the entrance of the house, “I didn’t agree to this!”

“Too bad!” Anya turns to face Llyra with a grin, “My treat, you have no say!”

Llyra sighs and shrugs, there was no point fighting with Anya, it would lead nowhere. Especially when it came to making sure she actually ate food.

“Alright, alright, just give me some time to get ready and I’ll meet you there” A soft smile on her lips as she retreated back into the house to prepare.

Day 5 - Lost

As night fell over Barovia, Llyra found herself on the wall of the balcony attached to her inn room. 

Her spellbook long since discarded on the table, pages fluttering in the gentle wind, her real purpose for coming out here all but abandoned as she stared down at the street below. A few people on nightly business guided by soft lamp light and the dull glow of the eternal full moon above. 

It never changed.

Every night spent in Barovia was the same as every night to come. It was boring and tiring. Her grip tightened on the sleeve of her shirt as she thought about how little had changed since the party arrived in the small town.

It just made her feel worse about their situation, trapped in this never changing land, running for their lives every single day. She knew what she had signed up for when they all decided to put a stop to this, but she didn’t know it would be this hard. Every day left her exhausted, every day made her feel like it would be better to give up, to resign themselves to living in this hellhole for the rest of their lives.

Her hands moved up to her head, clutching fistfuls of hair as she tried to rid herself of her dark thoughts.

“Ugh.” 

She turned around where she sat and hopped down from the wall back to the balcony.

“That’s enough for one night.”

Day 6 - Bitter

Primrose always did better than her.

In every class, in every field of study, her half-elf friend excelled in every area that Llyra tried to master. She wasn’t a jealous person, she didn’t let those feelings control her, but with every day that passed the thoughts would creep back at every new achievement.

Llyra knew that Primrose was better than her, thankful that her friend would help her through her struggles. But she hoped one day to return the favour, to help in return with something Prim didn’t understand.

But there was nothing.

She tried so hard, spent countless nights studying while Prim slept just for a chance, a single hope that one day, one day, she would be good enough to teach her something new instead of how it always was.

But for now she would admit she was jealous. The bitter taste of the emotion crept into her mouth as she explained that she needed help with another spell. Prim agreed to help with a smile, as always. 

So happy. So eager to help. She held her wand tightly as she pointed it towards Prim. 

I wish she would stop.

Day 7 - Tender

The smoke subsided as the sounds of battle died down around her. Llyra collapsed in place, coughing at the remnants of her fireball that had decisively finished the fight off. 

“W-We did it!” She managed to sputter out, “Can we please take a rest now…?”

The sounds of armour clanging on the floor alerted her to her friend’s approach. “Of course.” 

Llyra smiled as she felt the familiar soothing of Pokke’s healing magic seep into her wounds. She let out a sigh of relief as most of the pain subsided, leaving her with minor scratches and bruises.

“Thanks Dara.” She looked up at the dragonborn, who was kneeling down in front of her.

Pokke smiles and takes Llyra’s face gently in her armoured hands, wiping away a stray tear she didn’t even know was there. “As long as you are alright.”

Llyra nodded, a warm flush spreading across her face as she gently removed Pokke’s hands and instead holding them in her own. “Thanks to you, if you hadn’t have taken that axe for me I’d have been a goner…”

Pokke shakes her head, “I was only doing what I had to. Besides, I think you’re a little tougher than you give yourself credit for.”

She laughs, “Not strong enough for that surely! But regardless of if it’s your job or not, thank you… Even if you did leave me with these nasty scratches.”

That earns her a playful shove, “It may be my job but you’re making me regret it.”

They both laugh, revelling in their victory and the little moments they get to share because of it.

July 17 Dancitron Movie Night - Sing

Swoop and Tarantulas got in a small kerfuffle and Prowl sent a flying kick at Swoop, and honestly Prowl jumping into a fight with a Dinobot is easily the dumbest thing he’s done all month.

Soundwave, Tarantulas and Prowl hung out after movie night was over. The contents of said hangout are still being roleplayed out and the chatlog is forthcoming. Highlights of what IS included in this log: Tarantulas has promised to capture a bunch of cephalopods for Soundwave, Bevel, and Prowl to meet. (Prowl doesn’t really care about meeting them all that much, but he decided to come along anyway so that Soundwave gets to meet three more species.)

What is unsafe about it?]] *Doesn't want to move and dislodge Prowl; peers around him with feeler* [[Surely there are precautions he could take.]] FakeProwl 82:05 am *usually would be peering with soundwave. can't work up the giveafuck for it.* Tarantulas 12:07 am *it occurs to him he could invite sw in holo like prowl and avoid quite a few many things that way, hm. more thoughts he'll keep to himself* Tarantulas 12:09 am Not so much for you as for everything ELSE. There would simply be so many things to take into consideration, and depending on which hallways we choose, it just - it's /complicated/ *half true* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:10 am *Considers this. Shockwave's lab moves its insides around and can be dangerous to roam unattended. Maybe the "depending on which hallways" means something like that.* *...He'd better not try to sneak off after the cephalopod meeting.* [[He understands. Just this, for now.]] [[Though if there is anything else you wish to show off, he might be curious.]] FakeProwl 82:11 am *assumes tarantulas means that a few hallways exploded and are now too dangerous to travel* Tarantulas 12:12 am Of course you would be. *he knows that curiosity well by now* *ok what. he can't not hear rihanna* ...Soundwave, are you still in charge of the playlist? ItsyBitsySpyers 12:14 am [[Why? Is there something you'd like to request?]] FakeProwl 82:14 am *... if soundwave is going to be staying after the cephalopod meeting to explore part of the lab, then it would be inappropriate for prowl to not stay as well, since he's the one who's into that stuff. which means he'll be staying longer.* *is suddenly exhausted about a social interaction he hasn't even gone to yet.* Tarantulas 12:16 am Nnnnot in particular, but I - am... questioning that song choice ItsyBitsySpyers 12:16 am *"The one who's into that stuff," as if he doesn't like learning about everything Shockwave does too* FakeProwl 82:16 am *okay, the OTHER one who's into that stuff* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:17 am [[Ah. It's against your musical tastes, then. He'll be sure to find other artists in the future.]] Tarantulas 12:17 am *hard squint, but sure, he'll... go with that* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:17 am *He knows full well what Tarantulas means and is having a bit of fun* *As can be currently heard by the continuation of a theme* FakeProwl 82:18 am *nudges Soundwave* Puppet Man is good. Similar theme, different genre than the first two. *has picked up on the theme; hasn't realized it's being used as deliberate teasing* 5th Dimension. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:18 am [[He does not know this one.]] *Immediately puts it on.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:20 am *...Vaguely uncomfortable with this one.* FakeProwl 82:20 am *well PROWL likes it* Tarantulas 12:20 am *is just going to eat, because that's always a stabilizing thing right. gonna turn his head and pop a dozen snacks in where they can't see well* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:20 am *It's good, it's just - he wouldn't have thought of it as being part of the same theme if Prowl hadn't said. His mind went somewhere else first.* [[He knows you have the snacks. You don't need to hide.]] FakeProwl 82:21 am *look on the bright side: you probably just learned something new about prowl's sex life* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:21 am *Yes. Yes, he has.* *And in that respect, he is interested. And maybe wondering if Tarantulas shares it.* FakeProwl 82:22 am *... and it's a good thing prowl isn't thinking too hard about the song right now or else HE would be uncomfortable too* Tarantulas 12:22 am *tara wasn't paying much attention to the lyrics so he's chill rn* FakeProwl 82:23 am *but he decided he liked the song before it acquired what would have been very negative connotations, so as long as he doesn't listen too hard he's safe* Tarantulas 12:26 am *well, maybe not entirely chill, he did just give an awkward twitch and laugh some as he swallowed* Hyeh, I'm - not hiding the /snacks/, that'd be silly ItsyBitsySpyers 12:26 am ((that is not the song i was remembering oop)) ItsyBitsySpyers 12:28 am [[...Ah. Do you not consume fuel in public? He apologizes.]] *Immediately withdraws the feeler* Tarantulas 12:29 am *snickers some, actually* No, not generally, but - I was considering /your/ comfort here, not mine FakeProwl 82:30 am That's good. *uncrosses one arm to pat Tarantulas's... knee? yeah, knee works.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:32 am [[It is not as....]] *Fishes around for a word. Can't find it.* [[He knows to expect the noise. It is less distracting that way.]] Tarantulas 12:34 am *nudges more into prowl at the touch, touch is good* Tarantulas 12:36 am *smol helm tilt* Hm, is it just the sound that might disorient you then? Because I was considering the entire - well. You call them mandibles, but I've more than mandibles technically FakeProwl 82:36 am *more touch? thigh. thigh touch.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:37 am [[It is both, in truth. But he should try to become accustomed to this sooner or later.]] Tarantulas 12:38 am *paw touch on thigh touch* Tarantulas 12:39 am I see. *restraining urge to click his mandibles now, heh* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:45 am [[...You are not required to, of course. You may eat in unseen peace, if you wish. He was simply - commenting. On it.]] ItsyBitsySpyers 12:47 am *Wasn't sure how much contact was permissible in this shared couch sort of situation; going to test the example set by Prowl and curl the feeler he withdrew from Tarantulas' vicinity up and around Prowl's lower leg. Maybe absently pet the armor with the tendrils.* Tarantulas 12:48 am Hyeh, not required to - ? Would you /like/ to see, then? *genuinely wasn't sure, is also very much looking at prowl too* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:49 am [[...................................Yes.]] FakeProwl 82:49 am Yes. *doesn't even know he's being looked at, he just felt like throwing that in* FakeProwl 82:51 am *shifts a bit to get a better view if tarantulas is going to—something's on his leg. glances down. hmm. puts his other hand on soundwave's thigh.* Tarantulas 12:53 am *can't help but laugh a bit at soundwave's hesitance, and shifts while they move around too* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:53 am *Fluffs the armor a bit to make more room for seam stealing and joins the watching* FakeProwl 82:54 am *not going to be as adventurous tonight, there's another person here* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:55 am *As he wishes. Soundwave's thigh armor comes with sizable gaps anyway, pff. Either way: he is, notably, pleased.*
