These are mainly 42 centered because that’s just what my brain comes up with 😭 hope that’s okay

I feel like this is wildly excepted, but I can’t NOT mention it…Could Miles 42 do his own hair? Yes. But he makes his mama do it so he can spend time with her.

We know that Miles’s dad and Aaron fell out in universe 1610 (at least I think so) SO because Miles’s dad isn’t there to stray the family away from his brother, Miles 42’s music is much more influenced by his uncle than 1610’s is. There’s a lot of oldies in there that he first heard because of him!

Adding on to that, I think there’s records in Miles 42’s room? Like I think it’s like in the back. Idk maybe I just saw someone say something about it

Anyways, on those bad nights where shit’s getting to him, Miles puts on a record or two. He loves his headphones, but the record player gives off a different vibe

I like to think about both Miles’ art styles. 1610’s is very freedom, graffiti centered (as we know). There’s a lot of color, he’s free with it. But I believe that 42’s is more, controlled? Idk the word, really. But there’s sharp lines and maybe even a little restraint? To show the difference between how they both grew up and what they’ve experienced through their loves.

I think Miles 42 is better at drawing what’s in front of him, versus 1610’s tendency to just sort of go with it.

both Miles’ favorite place is the roof, where the memorial for Aaron/Mr. Morales is. It makes them feel closer to the ones they’ve lost.

I’ve seen a Tiktok about Miles 42 having heterochromia? People argued that it was just the lighting in the movie, but I think it’d be cool? His eyes aren’t that different, but one is more hazel while the other is more brown.

Pokemon is Miles 42’s guilty pleasure. He likes the games a little (a lot) more than he’d like to admit

Sometimes I think i’d be funny if Miles 42 was a little on the short side? Like Miles 1610 grew because of the spider bite, but 42 stayed where he was? Like he’s not short, but he’s closer to average than a lot of the guys he hangs around and it’s funny because his attitude is 10 feet tall

Miles 42 doesn’t see his mom as much as 1610 does because she’s always working, so he does little things around the house to make it feel more like home when she gets off work. He lights her favorite candles, makes sure her favorite flowers are always in a vase on the dining room table. He likes taking the pressure off his mom’s shoulders because he knows she works hard. He goes above and beyond for her.

He sometimes (a lot of times) slips money into her savings jar so he can see her face light up when she counts it all

42 has his dad’s class ring from high school. He wears it a lot, but when he doesn’t it stays in a little box with his chains.

I can imagine both Miles’ just knowing random things? Like they have all these facts for no reason except the can

Both of them are the type to say they can’t dance even though they can do it better than basically everyone around them

If I think of any more I can send them! There’s also some stuff on my blog too!

Oouu I never thought of miles as someone who can do his own hair. Now that I’m thinking about it. He can definitely do 2 strand twist, but the two braids maybe a little too complicated for him and that’s why he lets Rio do it and to spend time with her 🥰🥰.

Definitely is influenced by uncle Aaron when it comes to music.

The art thing is soooo interesting I’d love to hear more about your theories on that.

I agree with the rooftop, I’ve written a few fics based on that rooftop 😂😂

He definitely has different colored eyes I actually made a post about that and I love it! Ones green and the others brown.

Short King Miles G 😂 I like to think 1610 miles has like 2/3 inches on him.

Yesss omg I agree with the dancing thing, in my head they’re amazing dancers.

These were soooo good, yess send me the others 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 thanks for sharing

Just want to say that I am so in love with your art style/OC’s story/characterization of Shane that I have scrolled your blog front to back multiple times, I can’t get ENOUGH 🥹

A while back you mentioned reading lots of good (Shane?) fic, are there any titles or authors you’d be willing to share??

THANK YOUU!!🥺;;;;;; I‘m so happy you enjoy my stuff!!!

Also yes omg let me share the fic that really cemented my terminal obsession with this goddamn depressed chicken guy:

It got everything I need man😩🤌 It hurts me in all the right ways. I love the way they implemented the Dark Shrine of Memory as the main premise. The way Shane‘s written is really close to my personal headcanon of him. Also I eat up every fic that has Shane being an actual dad in it, I have such a soft spot for this. I don’t want to spoil anything more because going in blind gave me a whole rollercoaster of emotions but I can wholly recommend this one!

Another one that I‘ve recently found contains nsfw content and is quite different from the one above but I really enjoy the dynamic between the farmer and Shane. I’m constantly checking in if there were any updates yet so it definitely got me invested:

And yet another I just discovered a few days ago piqued my interest because //shocker// it got a widower Shane👀😭 (why am I like this) and it’s the first fic I‘ve found that explores this premise and I feel so seen🖐😔 So excited to see where it’s going in the future!!:

So yea, if anyone knows some other good Shane fics please let me know!! :] (especially when it’s about him being a dad or getting widowed ) (also lmk if you also like „Memory“ as much as I do ;;; I could gush about it for hours)

What is your perspective on tlou2 being inspired by the Israel-Palestine conflict? It didn't register with me at first but I've gotten too attached to the characters by the time that I discovered it and it is genuinely disappointing HOWEVER I have separated their narratives from the political dimension of the game by just focusing solely on the individual emotional journeys that each of the characters go through and I never really bought the games myself first hand except get them second hand but is it still wrong to adore the characters?

Not happy about it. I mean, who would be?

I wasn't aware of it at first either; it just didn't click, and then I started seeing the rumors, and well, it all made sense. I am disappointed. Not at all for Neil Druckmann, though. I don't really care about him (except for his amazing mind, where he created Ellie and Joel, the only fictional characters that I've got to love so much). What I am disappointed in more is that almost everyone thinks that once you continue to love this game, you support the evil too. Which is not how I feel about it.

But then again, does even my opinion matter? I've already got a lot of anon messages throwing hate on me for managing a blog about TLOU and supporting the evil. And I sit here and wonder... where did I ever say that I supported the bad side of the conflict? I don't think I ever did. Why? Because I don't talk about politics on this blog. This blog has been made to share love with all TLOU lovers, not to support Neil Druckmann or anyone else's political views or to even share about politics in general.

People are quick to judge. They go and preach to stand with Palestine and then go hate on the people who chose to stay quiet. People should realize that individuals managing fandom blogs and not sharing politics doesn't automatically mean that they support the evil. We (bloggers) have our own personal lives out of our blogs and our own personal accounts. Many of us are posting about the conflict on our personal social media. People should think about this before making bloggers feel like shit for managing silly blogs where they don't want to discuss what can be discussed elsewhere.

I have a deep bond with this game; I had it a long time ago before any of this was happening (everyone knows I will always prefer the first game over the second). This is not something I can just throw away. I have memories connected to it, feelings, emotions... it's not like I can tell myself 'fuck the game' now just because of the news I got. I guess it's easy for others when the bond is not so strong, but this game has been in a better part of my life for so long, and believe it or not... when I think about how Ellie and Joel make me happy, I don't have fucking Druckmann in mind or any of his political views.

I will never mix my admiration for this project with politics. Me not agreeing with Neil Druckmann's political views won't change the fact that I've already fallen in love with this game years ago. I am not loving Druckmann; I am loving something he once created. That is a big difference. Especially if you've already loved the game before the conflict.

I say, unless you're actively supporting the propaganda and throwing your money at it, you are not hurting anybody. You, being emotionally connected to the story of this propaganda's project or its characters won't really change a thing. Not for good, yes, but not for bad either.

Anyway, this is my opinion. I think people should stop judging those who are not sharing politics on their fandom blogs because they never know what these people share on their personal accounts. We are here to enjoy things that are free; love and joy for fictional characters we've adored for too long.

Sorry, I got a bit carried away. This is probably the only post about politics I'll share, so this needed to be said.

Anyway, you don't need to feel bad for loving the characters. You are not doing anything wrong. I think every one of us who still loves TLOU to this day is able to detach from the fact of who's behind the games. We're here for Ellie and Joel. They don't care about Druckmann either.elliespuns answers

Within the next hour, we all officially bid farewell to the Splatoon 1 Online Servers as they're shut down

Thousands of fanart, tons of streams, and so many heartfelt messages of love and fond memories of this silly little IP Nintendo took a chance on back in 2015

I owe a lot to Splatoon! I started my blog back in the day and got to connect with so many people, share my little stories, my victories, my defeats, and even the silly discourse we used to all have

I had 3000+ followers on my last blog that I got to share so much good creativity and posts and fun with, and it was a blessing and a fantastic opportunity

Thank you to those new and old who stick it out with me here! I hope to continue to share the love of the fandom that has helped bring this game to the success it has now

Goodbye, Splatoon 1!

#SquidRambles #A lot of emotions out here I wish I had the time to have drawn a tribute myself but #I'm older and times get busier and that's just life #But I'll never forget all the memories and the wonderful experiences this series brought me #Here's hoping there's plenty more fun to be had in the future and beyond

SFW Portion

» idia shroud

so he heard from the grapevine that you wanna play d&d and he squealed. listen, your chaotic, creative energy literally makes him feel like he’s not the only crazy one. you both would get along so well that yall would be inseparable practically. he’s the type of bro to take your ocs and put them in the sims for you.

the fact that you are also willing to get buck so easily, you make for one of those bodyguards with scary dog privileges and he breathes that man, like woah. he appreciates you. he would definitely teach you how to play d&d, lol, wow, all those games, and he would definitely throw out a nat 20 roll if he could to try and go simp mode, because let’s be honest, he does simp. and when this poor soul simps, he simps hard. take a metal pipe and drop it on him, that’s basically the equivalent of how he feels. regardless his shy little ass would rather just not act up on it because he doesn’t wanna look weirder than he already is.

how you lot would hang would be so niche… like a totally individualist kinda vibe, like it’s yalls’ energies, just mingling with each other. parallel activities are very much appreciated to him, like if you’re reading a book while he’s gaming, that’s a good deal to him. he also doesn’t do well in terms of executive dysfunction, as per his younger brother. if you actually remind him that he has to take care of things, because let’s face it, this blue blur gets caught up in his games for the most part that he sometimes forgets what time it is, he’ll appreciate you even more, in his stuttering red face way of course.

but there have been times where he would have to try and shakily pull your reins back. one time you saw a wasp in his room, and then he heard and saw it while he was in the middle of a quick match, and oh lord, he lost his shit. in response you decided to take the nearest object, which was one of his microphones, and tried to throw it at the wasp. you didn’t succeed at this however because he caught wind of you trying to kill it with his mic, and he held you and started yelling, “yo bestie! fuckin chill out that’s a murder hornet!” you still ended up killing the hornet anyway for him. bro was rizzed.

you lot eventually get closer and when white day hits he decides to be mr smooth guy and tried to (very nervously,) invite you over to his dorm for a movie. of course he picked an anime movie and you lot would end up having sort of an cheesy moment where he would kinda confess to you after the movie ended, all bashful and shit. it would be such a cute little set of banter. At first,he would be just as equally nervous around you in a relationship as he was before when he was crushing hard for you. holding hands in public? that’s a post marital act, how dare you manhandle this poor man with your sinful actions?! idia is definitely more of an introverted closed off person, therefore PDA is a no go for him as he thinks it’s embarrassing. behind closed doors though, thats a different story. idia is a massive cuddlebug and likes to have you sit in his lap as he games out. your relationship with idia is none but wholesome, especially when others find out. he would get teased for finally having a partner, more so with other students of ignihyde, which he jokes to you about as you’re really the only person he can talk comfortably to besides his younger brother and those he games with. you both share a very close bond with one another– one that is damn near bedrock solid. its cute, really.

NSFW SECTION

»trey clover

now, i was actually debating on lilia and silver as well. but i was like… hm. trey definitely looks like a good choice here. if you didn’t go for the other three, being idia, or maybe lilia or silver, trey would have been who you went for. trey has the reins needed to pull you back as he’s more relaxed and level headed, and this in turn goes well with your… bratty tendencies… we all know trey dislikes conflict.

you’re the chaotic cat to his gentle big dog, basically. and oh, what a pairing this is.

i feel like trey would be the guy to insert a gentle sense of control— a soft dominant. with the air of a saint bernard, he’s careful with you with his words, his tone, his touches… but on the surface, that’s all he lets you know. key words being, on the surface.

you like ropes. and he likes control. with careful discussion beforehand, he’ll happily tie you down. hes not really into intricacies such as shibari or anything the like, as it’s too complex and busy for him, but it does look pretty. he’ll try shibari maybe a few times with you, but at the end of the day, trey definitely is a sucker for the simpler things. tying your hands behind your back, along with your forearms. handcuffs? maybe. if he’s too impatient for the ropes. they’re the fluffy ones though— he cares about your comfort.

if you wanna take the reins sometime, he’ll gladly let you… for a bit. have your luck with him— his name is clover after all. riding him slowly and tenderly, i get the feeling that trey is more so into intimate and slow love making than the rough act of sex, admiring the romantic aspect of it all. besides the rigging, if you want to introduce more kinks to the bedroom, he isn’t gonna oppose. he’ll try anything at least once, just for you.

he gets to know the mommy/daddy kink well but doesn’t go overboard with the whole idea of the kink where it goes into age play territory. trey gets off to it mainly for the moniker and strictly the moniker at first. eventually though he starts to explore the idea of being more of a caring dominant in conjunction with the daddy moniker, and shit… he’s figured out that he gets off to that so hard it hurts.

its a weekend and you’re out with the other heartslabyul students studying out or whatever, and you come back to trey’s part of the dorms to hear heavy breathing coming from trey’s bedroom. of course, your chaotic cat kicks in and you quietly open his door to see him masturbating to something on his computer. he was probably watching porn to learn more about how to please you better based off of the things you’ve already told him. the way he slowly stroked up and down his shaft, combined with the gentle squeezing he would have… it was enough to have your eyes glued to him. and the moment he saw you touching yourself to him, that’s when he would break. two things that could happen. he could hide it and he could grow heavily embarrassed, or he could break and discipline you for being a “peeping tom.” your voyeurism has gotten you your fair share of punishments from trey. and usually when he does punish you it’s filled with orgasm denial and the inability to touch until you’re crying and begging. (no. you have to be sincere. any mockery here is only gonna make it worse.)

aftercare with trey is fucking godly. he cares for your wellbeing after all and will coddle you, especially after a rough session. he’s the type of dude to go get you a light snack and some cranberry juice and cuddle you to sleep, praising you all the way down until you snooze. he’s attentive, and if you have any problems, he stops immediately without question. after all, even the most chaotic of souls also need care as well.

•••

“Don’t worry about your car, I’ll drive it back to yours tomorrow,” DK gave you a quick hug before you hopped up on Jungkook’s car.

“Okay…”

Your boyfriend made sure you’re safely inside before shutting the door, turning to DK and Mingyu before giving them a manly pat on the shoulder each. “See you later.”

“Drive safe, bro.” Mingyu waved him off and stood on the sidewalk with DK until they saw him drive off.

The four of you agreed to meet up at DK’s place for some barbecue but ended up sharing a feast at a newly opened restaurant a few blocks away. Dinner was filled with laughter, banter, and lots of stories from your college days. You and Jungkook were still laughing about them in the car as you drove off.

“... and then Soonyoung kept on insisting the word was ‘EPIK HIGH,’” you were almost crying from laughter on the passenger seat.

“What was he trying to guess again?” Jungkook couldn’t help but chuckle, because your laughter was contagious.

“Jeonghan said ‘apple mango,’ but Mingyu misread his lips as ‘apple pie.’”

“Ohh… apple pie - Epik High…” Jungkook burst into laughter imagining the whisper challenge game that their friends did at their graduation party. He knew he had fun that night but his memory was clouded by the kiss you shared underneath the lamppost outside, when he attempted to walk you home.

“I can’t believe you don’t remember any of it!”

“I do remember that I kissed you outside that night though…” he glanced at you with a small smile that got you flustered. Jungkook noticed the tinge of red that graced the apple of your cheeks, “What? Did I make your heart flutter?” He smirked.

“Stop!” You avoided his gaze and distracted yourself with the strap of your purse. “Focus on driving, bun.”

“Yes, ma’am…” He replied in a sing-song voice, internally smiling at the term of endearment you used on him.

“Wait… I just remembered–”

“Oh yeah, I have–”

Both of you started at the same time.

“Ladies first… what did you remember, hun?”

“Okay…” You adjusted yourself in the seat to get a good look at the backseat of Jungkook’s car. “Did you bring your gear with you?”

“Yeah, they’re mostly in the trunk. Why?” Jungkook curiously eyed you while tonguing his lip ring. “Do you need anything?”

“Mingyu said when you tried to ask me out all those years ago, but accidentally insulted me instead, you had a great big plan in mind.” You started. “He said you wanted to go on a photowalk and take my photos.”

Jungkook pursed his lips and nodded, “Yeah, I think the photos would turn out better because you’re the prettiest muse.” He shook his head in disbelief, remembering the day and his words clear as day. “Ugh, I can’t believe I worded that incorrectly back then! So stupid, Jeon Jungkook!”

You were momentarily entranced as you took a good look at the man sitting next to you. The streetlights reflected in his eyes, making them a bit more sparkly, like they hold the entire galaxy in them. The soft yellow glow illuminating his face highlighted his beautiful features, too.

“The night is still young, bun…” You smiled up at him before reaching out and tucking a strand of hair behind his ear. You’re loving this slightly longer hair on him. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”

As if on cue, the traffic lights turned red, giving Jungkook the perfect opportunity to cup your face between his palms and leaned in for a soft kiss. “Yes, let’s do it!”

—

“I had so much fun, bun.” You and Jungkook walked hand in hand as you made your way to your front door. “We’re always so busy with work, that we sometimes forget how good it feels just to walk around and take the outdoors in.”

“Hmm…” Jungkook hummed in agreement. “I’m a bit sad though.”

You let out a small gasp, stopping in your tracks. “Why?”

“You didn’t even let me get a decent photo of you,” he pouted.

“Why do you need a photo of me?” You teased, momentarily letting go of his hand to key in your door code.

Jungkook rested his hand on the small of your back as he guided both of you inside. “Why would I not want a photo of you?” He replied softly, a tinge of hurt still apparent in his voice.

“Hey…” You turned around to face him before wrapping your arms around his neck. Like clockwork, Jungkook automatically wrapped his arms around your waist and leaned in to rest his forehead against yours. “Are you seriously sad that I didn’t let you take my photos?”

“Hmn…” He closed his eyes and heaved in a deep breath. “I just want to freeze these moments with you, you know? I want to see you, all sides of you, from all angles.”

Jungkook’s words would have reduced you into a mushy puddle if they could. The sincerity in his voice, coupled with his warm breath tickling your cheeks, were enough to set your heart ablaze. His close proximity made you hyper sensitive too, especially when his fingers grazed the exposed skin near the waistband of your jeans.

You ran your fingers through your boyfriend’s hair from the back of his head, putting just a little pressure on his scalp, causing a small groan to escape from his lips. Without missing a beat, you gently pulled him down towards your face for a sweet kiss.

Jungkook kissed you back, one hand sneaking underneath your shirt, splaying across the small of your back. The other, resting on your jaw, angling your face as he deepened the kiss.

“Jungkook,” you whispered breathlessly between kisses.

“Yes…?” Jungkook continued kissing you, planting soft pecks on the corner of your lips, your jaw, and the sweet spot beneath your ear.

“You can see all of me now…”

Jungkook stopped to catch his breath, eyes roaming across your face as if seeing you for the first time again. His mind began getting hazy as he got all worked up, not sure if he’s reading too much into things, or if you’re really saying what he thinks you’re saying. “Baby…” He tucked a strand of hair behind your ear, before tilting your chin up to look straight into your eyes. “Please tell me you want this as much as I do.”

“I want this,” you reached out to touch his face, his eyes closing at the contact. “You can see all of me now…” you smiled up at him.

Jungkook pulled you closer to him, feeling your heartbeats against each other. “All of you?”

“All sides of me…” you kissed his nose. “From all angles.”

Finally, you captured his lips again.

•••

A/N - Idk let me know if you want to see more of this couple as the night deepens, and I could probably let you in on the fun next update! ;) PS - I’ve missed you! Come talk to me!

Well. Should probably say some things. Now that the DLC is already out, I'm probably gonna sound a lot less professional and more chill since I feel less pressured to make this blog perfect.

Future of the blog

I've said this before but yes I am continuing this blog despite the DLC having released. If more Splatoon things are announced I will switch to counting down to them. Right now I'm slowly finishing drawing Agent Eight for 100 days, and as a reminder last day was 71. It's going to be much slower now that the DLC is released, but I WILL still post art.

Main blog

I've been keeping this under wraps for some reason (for some reason I was scared to share it) but you might've already guessed from me reblogging some art from there, but my main account is @captn3. You can find me there for stuff that wouldn't fit to be posted on this blog.

Side Order thoughts

This will be kept under the cut and any other posts with spoiler content will be tagged with #side order spoilers. Thank you all for your support and excitement for Side Order with me.

OUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DEDF1SH REAL AND IN SUCH A GOOD WAY TOO DJKNFGNDKFJNGKNJDFKGKJNDF Ahem. Sorry. Side Order, at first, was disappointing to me. It felt too short. But when I realized it wasn't really over yet, and the more I played, the less disappointment I felt. Solid DLC, 8/10. I think the Agent Four fakeout was really funny, but in the moment I was really bummed out. However, you could interpret Parallel Canon as having part of Agent Four in there somewhere anyway. For my first completed run, I beat it with Agent Four's Palette, so there's some interesting storytelling going on there with Eight using Four's Palette before anyone else.. But after realizing the palettes needed to be reconfigured, I think Eight would definitely dart to fix up Pearl and Marina's palettes before anyone else. The game was really fun, and they did the gameplay loop PERFECTLY. Other singleplayer campaigns in Splatoon don't really have much replayability, but I love how not only does Side Order encourage you to replay it, even when you 100% everything you still want to play more and more. I love the story, even if it wasn't necessarily as deep as Octo Expansion, it's very charming to see Marina wanting to help Octolings like Eight with their memories, and that leading up to reuniting with her childhood friend Acht. I'll probably have more to say even after this, because as short or small as it may be compared to other things, there's still a lot going on.

I was hearing a lot about the Hardcore WoW challenge & decided to give it a try. I wanted to share some of my thoughts here because I think some of the people who follow this blog might enjoy the experience as well! The post ended up being kind of long so please feel free to ignore if you’re not interested.

For those who don’t know, Hardcore Classic is a fan-made game mode in the same spirit as an ironman challenge. There are several rules but the main ones are 1) character death is permanent 2) you cannot ask for help or group with others (outside of very specific circumstances), and 3) you cannot trade, mail, or use the AH. Everything you use must be found in the world, crafted by you, or bought from a vendor. There is an addon that can be downloaded to verify your run. It can be played on any server, but many people chose to play on the public WoW servers that fans have adopted for the challenge, because you can only complete dungeons and raids with other HC players under the HC rules. More info can be found here - https://classichc.net/

At first I thought it sounded nuts, but gave it a shot because I had nothing to lose. I created a character with the exact same class/race as my first WoW character (I was even able to snag the same name), and as I spawned into Mulgore I almost immediately understood the appeal. There were so many other players around doing the same challenge. The game felt shockingly alive because of how active the server was. But what was really amazing was how the hardcore restrictions changed the way I experienced the game & took me back to the first time I ever played.

I have a distinct memory from my first character, a Tauren Druid, and leaving Mulgore for the first time to make the trek to Crossroads through Camp Taurajo. That walk felt so intimidating, seeing level ?? thunder lizards standing off the side of the road. I feel like I probably held my breath until I finally made it to Crossroads. Today, if I were to create a new Tauren on a classic era server, though I would have to make that same walk, I would not feel that fear because the game no longer has that same mystery for me . The thunder lizards are only level 20, and if I die, it’s no big deal to corpse run and try again. But under the Hardcore ruleset, that’s not an option. If I die, that’s it. I found myself making that run with the same level of caution that I gave it during my first ever playthrough, keeping my eyes peeled off both sides of the road. And feeling safe when I finally got to Crossroads. That alone was an amazing feeling to experience again!

As I started to level up in the Barrens, I reached a point where the quests were starting to out level me and decided to make the trek to Silverpine to continue. I was level 13, making my way to the Sepulcher. I was nearly there, and went off path to gather some herbs. Out of nowhere, a Son of Arugal, a level ?? elite, appeared. It was over before I could react and I felt so defeated.

A few days later, I got the motivation to delete the character and begin again. Another Tauren Druid. I leveled my way back to the same point where I left off in the Barrens and thought, either I can play it safe here and grind a level or two, or I can head to Silverpine again and be on my guard this time. I opted for Silverpine to prove to myself I could do it. I got there and completed some quests, constantly watching my back the whole time. As I walk towards a cave I saw him in the distance once again, the Son of Arugal. I noped out of there immediately, ran halfway across the zone and grinded out the few bars I had left to level. As soon as I dinged, I hearthed out of Silverpine for good. It left me excited though, that I was able to face Silverpine once again & learn from my mistake the first time. It was not only exciting to navigate around it, but it made the zones themselves feel like unique places once again, each with their own obstacles & traps.

I’m only level 14 now, and I’m realizing every zone from here on out will likely have it’s own Son of Arugal lurking in the shadows. I doubt I will make it to 60 because I don’t have a ton of underlying knowledge about the world, but for the time being the experience so far has been worth the time. It’ll be painful when my character inevitably dies but at that point I’ll feel okay putting away hardcore mode for a bit.

I don’t intend on writing posts like this in the future, but wanted to share because I know there are so many people who feel nostalgic about the game. This game mode really has the potential to bring some of those feelings back into the game, and at least for the time being, the servers are well populated and feel just as alive as they did back then. Anyway, thanks for reading!

Idk anything about coffincest so tell me why you like it. What’s the best part about coffincest. Write me that 5 page essay everyone’s always dying to write to explain their ships lmao

- @nsfwitchy

Hi I love your blog :3

My lifetime opportunity has finally arrived !!!

I think genuinely the best part of coffincest is that they are siblings is not even a shipcest thing but so much of their dynamic relays on them being related, there's a ton of incest ships that I think you could completely remove the family alliance and it would be the exact same dynamic

But with coffincest it is imprinted so deeply into everything they do, they used to still live in their childhood apartment and sleep on their childhood bedrooms, the few relationships they have are with other family members or childhood friends.

They have stories and memories to share with one another about school or teachers and birthdays.

Their whole lives are completely intertwined with each other.

Plus they are written in such a real manner, leaving besides the obvious incest vibes with them, they really talk to each other how a lot of siblings do, and that just adds such a level of realism to their entirely messed up relationship that enthralls me.

It's very rare for me to relate so deeply to any character as I do with Ashley, I don't even like like her or something, but she's so real to me, I really do see so many of my syntomps and worse attitudes expressed through her.

And there's something very comforting about the thought of Andrew staying with her even so, about the narrative telling you, you are not as doomed as you think you are.

<- this is entirely self proyection but it's my hyperfixiation and I get to kin whoever I want

I also think I just love them because I love the context they give each other, if that makes any sense, because I relate so much to Ashley's behavior she's really obvious to me, but Andrew is hard for me to fully grasp even now, so I love seeing how they behave with each other, with their parents, with girlfriends, with strangers or, on their own.

Their characters are so rich and complex that every dynamic they exhibit obsesses me.

They also can't keep their hands away from each other and that makes me rabid. (Not gonna lie me desperately wanting to fuck Andrew really helps with this.)

And incest hot and they are hot and the game is super good so of course that helps.

#i can keep going but i wanted this to still make sense but one time when the game was like two days old #i remember reading this really long reddit post about a girl not really shipping coffincest but talking about how she used to be a lot like #Ashley and how that person giving her the chance to stay and be better really changed her for the better and i just thought #yeah that's what we would all like isnt it and that's why I'm so focused on these two getting a sorta happy ending #and for Ashley to become better regardless of anything else #soleil asks #the coffin of andy and leyley #coffincest #Andrew Graves #Ashley Graves

Star Wars Customizable Card Game promotional and play cards. “Reflections II: Expanding the Galaxy.” January, 2001.

Decipher’s Reflections II: Expanding the Galaxy series brought a handful of Expanded Universe characters to life including Mara Jade, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Talon Karrde, Corran Horn, Mirax Terrik, Dash Rendar, Prince Xizor, and Guri. Decipher also created an exclusive 5”x7” Promotional Oversized “Signature” Card depicting Mara, Talon Karrde, and Corran Horn for the summer ‘01 convention circuit. Model Shannon (Baksa) McRandle portrayed Mara Jade, while Timothy Zahn was made up to depict Talon Karrde, and Michael Stackpole was costumed to resemble Corran Horn. Stackpole had these memories to share on his blog:

The stuff done in a photostudio is really magic. At first glance, the guys they got for Corran and Karrde were right, in general. Good on the overall dimensions, hair color, eye color, etc., but they were just guys off the street. Then the hair and makeup folks went to work. Karrde got a wig and a full makeup job, which sharpened his features and totally changed him. By the end of the process - during which Tim's camera was clicking almost incessantly - I was believing the guy was Talon Karrde.

Once Karrde was made up and costumed, he was taken onto the photostage and lit. That's a fascinating process. If they put a yellow filter on a light, the light is considered "hot." A blue filter makes it "cold." The art director, photographer and photographer's assistant all discussed and debated, pulling lights this way and that, setting them up at angles, getting the model to look here or there. Then they took test Polaroid shots and digital shots and finally agreed that things were right. It was almost anticlimactic when the shooting got done, but the results were great. Talon Karrde lived.

Shannon Baksa actually did Corran's makeup, then he got lit and shot. One of my concerns had been that the model was a bit older than Corran would have been at that point, but the makeup and lighting slashed 15 years off him. And the models, they put up with a lot. At one point, while folks were off debating how Corran should be lit, the guy who had done Karrde's makeup commented that Corran was just sitting there rock-still. Corran said, "I'd move, but I'm afraid they'd have to re-light me."

I have a request for a very general hc for Ghost. I wonder how he demonstrates his care for his subordinates. And I don’t mean Riot or Soap, because we see a lot of good examples of that on your blog) I’m speaking rather of just some unnamed fellow soldier, so no really close ties there. Would Ghost just keep a long polite distance and won’t communicate with them beyond commands? Or maybe he actually does a lot to make their lives just a bit easier, but doesn’t show, it was him, how helped them? Or maybe he even lets himself openly cheer them up and sometimes shares (not too personal) memories with them, just to make them smile? Thank you so much in advance and feel free to ignore this one, if you are comfortable to write only for Riot!

This is actually a really good question, because I myself just play it by ear or plainly assume, but I think writing it down would be nice.

I think Ghost's behaviour is determined by his experiences, both from his childhood and from the hell he's suffered after that.

Childhood - His father was abusive, like, very abusive, including very perverted views about masculinity and expressing feelings and what is and is not a man's job. So expressing feelings or worry about others would feel like a weakness, but on the other hand, he wants to be NOTHING like his father, and it's shown he has a caring nature. He got his adict brother off drugs, he loved his nephew dearly.

Adulthood - He was kidnapped and severely tortured in many ways, which would be enough to strip anyone of their humanity and sanity, but I feel that if he survived was because he is stubborn enough to not just give in. To not become what all those people (his father, Vernon, Roba, ...) wanted him to become or destroy.

In the games it's clear he is a stern, solitary, taciturn individual, but he cares enough to keep talking to Soap, distracting from his wound, guiding him and even cheering him on, so it's clear he cares, even if he's not very physical or vocal about it.

So, NOW ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION (geez I can't be brief it seems, ever)

I think he takes on his shoulders as much as he can, trying to relieve Price of some of his duties. I think that he might not be very vocal or praise the soldiers if they do a good job, instead giving them a simple nod while looking at them directly (which normally would make them piss themselves looking into those dark eyes and the skull mask) or maybe a little 'hmph' while doing so. I think after some time the soldiers under his command start learning the little gestures, the body language, because when someone wears a mask it's difficult to read, so they have to make do.

So a nod when he approves of them, a glare when they're being shits, a firm shake of his head saying NOPE. Or just a glare, I'm sure they freeze.

As for sharing, I think he only shares his awful jokes with them. I don't think he's one to lie about past experiences just to bond, and he's not about to tell anyone not REALLY close to him anything true, so, jokes. Anything to keep their minds off the shit they would be in, in that moment, or to make his soldiers relax.

Maybe from time to time there are mysterious bottles appearing in the common rooms that nobody knows where they came from, but nobody is complaining, and for sure Ghost would deny even knowing what you're talking about, doll.

event | whumptember 2022

prompt | flashback

pairing | daddy!steve rogers x little!reader

warnings | sfw daddy!steve, trauma/ptsd/flashbacks, trauma was experienced in childhood (no details or specifics given, reader does say “owwy” once to indicate pain), this one’s heavier than all the others but it feels really important to me still, therapeutic/coping practices i’ve personally learned/utilized included

word count | 677

daddy!steve knows a lot about ptsd and helping with flashbacks from helping bucky once he was rescued from hydra, it breaks his heart that his little girl has to struggle with such severe episodes of reliving her trauma but he is always prepared and ready to assist in the most gentle, soothing ways

maybe reader experienced a lot of terrible stuff during childhood and so being in littlespace can be a bit of a double edged sword, sometimes it brings up unexpected memories that can be difficult to navigate or avoid

steve knows the exact expression that appears on reader’s face when it begins. it starts with a strange, spacey look in her eyes. he usually tries to pause whatever they’re doing to just get a handle on the situation

maybe one day they’re playing with some of her toys on her rug and steve makes a gesture with one of the dolls that sets her off. she gets the wide eyed, deer in the headlights look as her gaze is settled on something in the distance. her voice always becomes so small and she becomes stuck halfway between what she’s remembering and where she is in the present

“baby?” steve’s pushed the toys aside, gently sitting in front of her with his legs crossed. he doesn’t want to touch her yet in case it might be too much “can you focus on my voice, sweetheart?”

tears are trailing down reader’s cheeks but she can’t move to wipe them away. she’s shaking, or more like jerking as everything replays in her mind. “owwy.. please… d-daddy?”

steve can’t help but feel so helpless every time 😔 there’s only so much he can do, when he would really like to just rip the horrible memories out of her sweet little head for good. “daddy’s right here, baby. right here with you- you’re safe, doll”

“h-happening again,” she whimpers, they both know now it’s sort of a waiting game until her brain can settle down. waiting for it to be over’s the worst part

“i know, baby. it’s okay, daddy’s here with you” she can’t see him 😔 can just see the horrible flashes of images as they assault her memory. that’s why it’s so important he keeps talking to her, telling her he’s right there. “can i hold your hand, baby? safe touch, just daddy’s hand on yours”

she offers a little nod, maybe touch is something they’ve worked up to as they’ve had to go through these episodes together. his hand is so gentle, so careful as he places it on hers. she flinches a little but let’s him, he rubs circles on the back of her hand with his thumb. still talking to her, trying to keep her with him “still right here baby. doing so good. daddy loves you so much, y/n. you’re okay, you’re safe”

she cries through it, something she wasn’t able to do as a child. though it’s hard to watch, Steve knows it’s important for her to be able to let out all the sadness and hurt and fear she had to hold in at such a young age, for so long. he shushes her soothingly as she cries, acknowledging her pain. “i know, baby. i’m so sorry. so, so sorry little one. daddy’s right here, sweet girl. you’re alright, you’re not alone”

when things are slowly beginning to wind down, she’s able to interact a little more and tolerate more help steve might be able to give. he helps to ground her back into the room, talking about all her favorite things in her little-friendly bedroom. her fluffy bed with all her stuffed animals, her play rug with all her toys, the big rainbow mural steve painted on one of the walls, all the art and pictures they’ve made together hanging from a set of string lights. when she’s ready, she crawls into his lap, exhausted and in need of lots of snuggles

“there’s my pretty girl, i got you baby. come here, little love. daddy can’t wait to hold you”

I wonder if it's ok to ask but are there any yandere games you're planning on doing a review in the future ? (I'm looking for some to play but it's hard to find them)

Oof, man there is a lot. Since the #yanjam is still in session, there's been a lot of different entries slowly being added (I'm wondering if I can even finish my game, hahaha. I hope so.) as well as a general influx of r18 visual novels as well. I can give you some that I'll be doing in the future that you can check out.

I'll be separating them with r18 games and regular games since r18 visual novels are basically it's own genre at this point.

R18 Yandere Visual Novels

Yandere Island/Weathering Feelings by @mari-0w0 - my friend Mari's two games. Weathering Feelings is mostly just a quiz currently, but will include three different therapists you can date, while Yandere Island has a demo out with up to one day currently out.

Ai-yo Kogane san by @crystalcrynight - a pretty expansive game considering that it's only one day so far. About Mizuna waking up and losing their memory, with Gold who claims to be their best friend.

Duality by @dualityvn - about dating two yanderes that share the same body, Keith, a florist and Tenebris, a blue monsterish looking guy. I'm finally being fed with sub yanderes, thank goodness.

Broken Colors by @inkly-heart - I was waiting for this one to come out and boy does it deliver. Even as a demo it's very well polished, but I've always been based since I've liked their artwork for a while.

Bared Teeth by @baredteethvn - as well as the other game currently in development called @flavorfeelvn whenever it comes out. Currently a bit short, but it's a cute game so far.

Sterile Desires by @sterile-desires - I've been sort of sitting on this one for a while after my first playthrough cuz boy was I not expecting whatever happened to happen. I promise I will finish it and actually write a review on it. It's pretty good so far though.

Honey Hotline by @ringringringbananafone - as well as other games that they've made (though the yandere in those are nonbinary, but still fun to play). Fone is a pretty cool yandere and he has a cute cat, enough said.

...and like a lot more I have yet to play. Pretty much every male yandere game in the yanjam I will likely write a review on, and if you see me following your game blog, chances are I'm waiting on a demo or have a review of your demo floating around in my drafts. And if not.... Don't worry. I will find you. There's no escape.

Yandere Visual Novel

The Science of Staying Awake by @tsosagame - a surreal but really cool game and also finally I'm being fed pathetic yanderes again. The yandere in this one is actually pretty terrifying in some ways despite being a pathetic mess.

Please Don't Hate Christmas by rice love coffee - this one is completely Christmas themed which I thought was pretty cool. Since it was translated from Chinese, there is a lot of SNOWFLAKE ISLAND that you get to read, which is fun.

Colorful Mirai: Spooky Edition by Honey Bunny -this one is actually a spin off of the Colorful Mirai games and (from what I can tell) contains two yanderes. Very well made, and I enjoyed it a lot.

Froot Basket: Dark Chocolate by @xxmissarichanxx - the prequel to Froot Basket: Valentine in the pov of the yandere himself. They really outdid themselves with this game and I'm waiting for the walkthrough to make sure I got as much out of the game before writing a full review.

Tentador Leches by Karmic Punishment - as well as In Your Nature, whenever it comes out. This one is a bit more ambiguous, but I thought it was at least a pretty fun time.

Dawn of the Damned by @melancholy-marionette - I swear, Marionette, I have been playing your games, I've been procrastinating on writing recs for them. As per usual, a fun game with male yanderes in it, what more could you want.

Pretty Boy Panic by @bingzi-pancakelord - creator of Pocket Lovers! about having to deal with a bunch of guys that live around your apartment, who are yandere for you. I finished Li's route and then promptly kept getting distracted, so I'll need to play through the other two's routes soon.

Even besides the ones I know have yandere in it, there are also a bunch I have to actually play to make sure there is one since I like to make sure that there is one. Sometimes it's just guessing, but it does occasionally pull out a pretty cool game! Anyways, I hope this is a good list for you to start out on. I'm just going to sit on my 70+ drafts and hope that I can finish my game in time.

#male yandere #yandere #yandere boy #recommendations #asks #lists #i forgot theres also games in my asks that I have to play through that I didn't add to this list whoops

Today turned out to be Pretty Bad™ stuck down very awful bad memory lane and I just wanna clarify to ppl why I may not always answer dms/asks etc. I've only really told one person on here the big details about this, and I won't go into all the details here either but it'll be enough to explain why. I hope anyway. Idk why I'm doing this.

I'll give a quick tl;dr here because it is long and also goes into very triggering topics such as self harm/suicide.

Basically I used to have a very close best friend, who I'll call shithead, back in early 2018 until late 2022 who extremely manipulative, emotionally abusive and just very overall toxic. If you've ever seen me refer to a "shithead" in tags or whatever then its about the person imma talk abt here. I was essentially the person they turned to to talk them out of doing things to themselves, if you get me. As well as a lot of other stuff. Ended up getting therapy (but not for the right reasons tbh) and also got a bad coping mechanism where I tend to not talk to people, I keep my distance and its smth I wanna tackle but it's difficult. So if you haven't heard back from me it's not cuz I don't like you, I am fighting with my brain. Also I kinda question if I actually am a good person or not because of stuff that I did in retaliation to this person.

I'll get into details now under the cut but yeah don't read if self harm/suicide/toxic dynamics are something you don't want to hear about for whatever reason.

As above, in early 2018 I used to have a different fanfic blog for a different fandom. I won't go into detail about which fandom and what the blog was but it was fairly popular. This is how I came to be friends with them. And like at the beginning it was fucking great! We became fast friends and we had a lot of shared interests. They introduced me to a lot of games, TV shows etc. But that's also where the problems started.

They were one of those types of fans. The "very possessive over certain characters" type of fan. If they liked them and had a crush on them then you couldn't do the same cuz character belonged to them. Which at the time I didn't rly like but I used to be friends with someone in high school who was also like that about characters so I assumed it was just a thing ppl did. However, it escalated to if I had a character I liked then they'd for some reason not like them and in fact hated them. This was kinda draining cuz they never wanted to talk abt stuff I liked, without actually directly saying so. They'd just shit talk them the whole time or say they hate them. So I stopped talking about what I liked. Later, they'd suddenly really like said media or characters and only then was it fine to talk about them. But in turn they'd be possessive and if I said oh okay I'll step back from them they would make me feel like I was being stupid because "no they didn't say I couldn't like them".

Anyway thats not rly the worst of it of course, the actual bad stuff is now so again, final warning for self harm/suicide. Will square off the triggering sections.

*********************

They struggled with their mental health a lot. Like a lot. I'd be there for them to listen, offer help and support because I like to take care of ppl and make sure they'll be okay. Except it escalated to them using me to talk them out of harming themself and killing themself. And this was almost everyday/night. And need I just say they were an hour ahead of me as well btw. I went to university in 2019 originally and by December I was completely burnt out because I spent every day and night making sure they didn't fucking do anything to themself. I got at most 2-3 hours of sleep a night if I was lucky and I stopped doing my hobbies and uni work because I just had no drive to do them anymore. It was clear I was also suffering mentally. I was suicidal and thinking of harming myself as well (and unfortunately I did do so a couple times). But I prioritised them. Everything was triggering for them, and I mean that. I had a long list pinned to my wall of everything I was to avoid mentioning because it would trigger them.

They never took care about my own mental health btw, which I'm not saying they HAD to but I know it was because they just didn't care. And they said as much too. They said because they are autistic they have no empathy and therefore do not feel anything about my mental health. So I suffered basically alone.

*********************

I dropped out of uni in early 2020 and in fact went home the weekend lockdown began in the UK. Things were not good. I was still trying to be support for shithead, I went to therapy and started medication for the wrong reasons. I wanted to get better so I could take care of them. Which like. Never do that. Never go to therapy so you can be someone else's therapist. Go to therapy because YOU want to be better for YOURSELF.

We were in in a bigger friendship group spread across a few discord servers and they all broke down one way or another. One instance there was an argument between shithead and a bunch of others who were comparing who had it worse during ww2. The others were Americans but were also of Jewish heritage with family who were affected by the holocaust and shithead lives in a country near where the holocaust happened with relatives who went through a famine. Either way it was just not gonna be a good conversation. Shithead left, I stayed and like I already don't rly talk to people much in groups because its overwhelming but I did do a little bit. Someone who was friends with shithead and still in the server told shithead I was talking to the others and in turn I basically betrayed shithead. Hindsight I wish I had just left the server ages before and like maybe j shouldn't have talked to the others idk. I regret it either way and think abt it a lot.

Another few shitty things I did in response to how shithead would treat me is giving them the silent treatment, giving short answers etc. I wanted them to feel bad, but it would round back to me being told I'm a coward and horrible to them. Which maybe I was but frankly I was scared of them.

*********************

Things began to rly break down when they showed me their fresh self harm wounds, blood and all, because they were "bored". I didn't talk to them for a few days and their apology wasn't much of an apology, more just making excuses again (aka I have autism so it's not my fault). I started talking less and less because by this point my brain had had enough ig and began to close off from them and just ppl in general.

*********************

In 2022 I finally returned to university and thats also when I finally stopped talking to them. A few months ago I finally blocked them on everything. However, I still struggle with communication and don't rly do it much. It's difficult to maintain friendships and I don't trust easily. I plan on going back to therapy whenever i can because this is just unresolved. But yeah idk I'm sorry to everyone who I haven't responded to, or take a long time to respond to.

One thing that is good tho is that like, after shithead I didn't enjoy anything. I didn't rly watch or hyperfixate on anything. But last year around this time I came across an Aaron Hotchner x plus size reader fic and I've been obsessed with him since!! And now here we are, got a blog and everything for a fandom finally after so long :) so it's not all bad.

But yeah that's why I struggle keeping up with messages and asks. Idk if anyone is gonna read this but if you've read this far then thank you and you mean a lot. Big hugs to yawl and I hope yawl have a lovely day, and if not then please take it easy 💖💖💖💖

Todays rip: 15/12/2023

Whip Fortress

Season 7 Featured on: .@GiIvaSunner Whips & Nae Naes on Ellen the Generous 2: another hit

Ripped by circunflexo

youtube

Early on into this blog's life, one of the events that I just KNEW that I wanted to talk about was Season 2's Whip and Nae Nae day. Like many of the events from Season 2 and 3, it's an event I have a lot of fond memories of, particularly in making me realize just how good the SiIva team are at taking just about any source and making amazing use out of it. And yeah, I finally did get around to talking about it last month with The Ultimate Whip and Nae Nae - yet in that time I spent idling, I was beaten to the punch by the SiIva team themselves - in August this year, the event got a full-on sequel literally just called Whip and Nae Nae day Part 2. The event was bigger, the album was bigger, and most of all - the rips, like Whip Fortress, were all top-classic naenae content.

Though I certainly liked a lot of the rips part of the original Season 2 event, it did also feel like its main goal was to just play into the joke as much as possible. That, in my eyes, led to a lot of rips on its album that felt a bit too simple in nature, mashups or melody swaps that didn't take enough advantage of the potential of its original audio source. In that sense, comparing that album to the one made for the Season 7 event shows the evolution of the SiIva team demonstrably well - every rip uses the song in immensely creative ways, to where no two tracks on the album really feel similar despite all sharing The Same Joke. Amidst all that quality, there are rips like Whip Fortress - rips that almost make me forget that the event is supposed to, at least on some level, be "ironic" or "bad on purpose". Because, full-stop, I LOVE the rip as a genuine arrangement of the original Wind Fortress.

Cave Story as a game already means a lot to me, and I've been meaning to cover more rips from the game here on the blog - it just so happened that the first one I landed on, is one that on the surface appears to be something so silly. Yet circunflexo doesn't try to override the original song's emotional highs with the absurd source used in remixing it - if anything, the unique tone and iconic-sounding beat of Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) only help the track, despite the direction the lyrics attempt to point your focus in. Whip Fortress succeeded like all the best rips do, in making me love both the source used in remixing the original track AND the original track itself more through their combined powers. Because no joke, no meme and no shitpost, no matter how stupid it may seem, is too far gone to be turned into a banger. The rippers at SiIvaGunner make absolute sure of that.

OKAY so the SW!Frankie headcanon: 'wildflowers' by the wailin' jennys (tom petty folk cover). Frankie and the reader go out to a local jazz/folk music festival and they spend the day with the boys. that song in the air as they enjoy the festival booths w/ fluffy+flirty Frankie date goodness. tan hands holding a beer or throwing a baseball to win a prize. midday buzz and funnel cake kisses. an after party chilling in a backyard, sun-warmed skin heavy petting after the ride home. the perfect day ~

I love this, it's exactly the kind of date Frankie would plan himself without telling Ms Jackson. The boys would help out a bit - Will would suggest the festival, Santi would wiggle his eyebrows at Frankie, Benny would offer to drive the boys in a separate car so Frankie could have some alone time with Ms J. I imagine this to be a bit early in their relationship, after the events of Something More but before Rosalie.

Festival Frankie Headcanons

Pairing: Francisco "Catfish" Morales x F!Reader "Ms Jackson"

Warnings: Way too much cuteness, this is sugary sweet and I make no excuses, brief reference to sexual acts. While this story is not explicit, my blog and the content shared on it is 18+ MINORS DNI.

You're taken aback at the recommendation - you just met the boys and Frankie already wants to take you on a group date?

But you did have a really fun time, and you hadn't been to a music festival in ages.

The weather is nice, you feel light and carefree.

You say yes.

Frankie picks you up in his truck and the drive there is punctuated with chatter about fairs and music and Frankie's hand heavy and soft on your knee.

He brushes his fingers along the inside of your thigh a few times and glances at you to see if you fluster.

You do, often, but his smile tells you he likes it.

The parking lot is dusty and packed, but Frankie parks like a champ, one arm over the back of the bench seat so he can turn his head to back into a spot.

The tantalizing stretch of his neck teases you to kiss it when he puts the truck in park.

The boys tease him when you show up fifteen minutes late, his hair a little messier than usual and your smile sheepish.

"Like a couple of teenagers," Santi huffs with no venom in his voice, slinging his arm around you as you enter the festival grounds.

Music lilts in the air, plucked strings and soaring vocals too far to make out but lending enough to the atmosphere that you're practically bouncing.

The boys stay clustered around long enough to get something to eat, a round of beers and lemonades circling the picnic table.

Frankie holds your hand under the tablecloth, fingers still sticky with residual sauce and sugar.

Will peels off first to get a good seat at the amphitheater, Benny catching wind of some cute girls trying their hand at a ring toss and ditching soon after.

Santi catches Frankie's eye and busies himself at a candle stand while you wander away slowly, winking at you when he ducks out of sight.

You meander with little more purpose than to enjoy the day, sharing bits of memories and thoughts about the vendors and booths lining the main thoroughfare.

Before you can even yearn for it, Frankie takes your hand and threads your fingers together, his large ones spreading your knuckles and stretching your palm.

He sneaks a shy smile, adjusting his cap to pull a little lower on his forehead.

God, you want to kiss him every moment you get with him.

And you do, even if it means stopping in the middle of the path and making people part around you.

Nothing could stop you from showing him how full he makes your heart.

When you catch him eyeing a shooting game, you pull a fake coo at a prize hanging in the booth, Frankie's face lighting up and pulling you along.

You could care less about the unfortunate stuffed creature, but seeing Frankie preen a little at inspecting the toy rifle, scoffing at how poor the aim is, makes your heart flutter.

"Okay, hotshot, see if you can beat it."

"Oh that's doubtful, but I'll give it my best."

His wink titillates you as muscle memory and shocking precision has him lining up his shot.

Whiff! A miss to judge how bad the aim is.

Then ping ping ping!

You're walking away with some small stuffed silliness and Frankie's proud strut.

You're also more than a little turned on, but trying like hell to calm down.

Offering to buy him some fried dough for his troubles, you grab a bench and take turns pulling pieces off and licking sugar from your fingers.

"We're not going to make it to the evening show at this rate."

You barely make it through the confection before Frankie is tugging you closer to the amphitheater, gilded caramel curls bouncing as the sun dips into the horizon.

He leads you away from the main path, behind the booths where only a few vendors are walking past.

When his arms circle you, one hand cradling the back of your neck, you melt into his embrace.

He kisses you without preamble, licking into your sweet mouth with playful passion, a smile tugging at his lips.

Time passes, marked by the fade of light from golden to orange to indigo as Frankie lets his hands roam slowly over your back, the curve of your ass, a thumb tracing your jaw.

His mouth leaves dizzying trails along your neck, behind your ear, chaste murmurings swelling inside you.

"Beautiful girl, I'm so gone for you."

Your own hands skim his chest, his cheeks, the dimples you're proud to pull out.

"Love you, Francisco."

He mouths his own devotions back into your skin.

You are thankfully on time to the show, Will's blanket well stocked with beers and snacks and camping chairs to tamp down the edges.

Benny's stretched out and crunching on pretzels, the last licks of sun sweeping through his light locks.

Santi's cracking open beers for you, the glow of a camping lantern carving out his curls and cheekbones like a marble statue.

Will's quietly watching the band set up, throwing you a wave as he reclines in a state of relaxation you haven't yet seen.

You and Frankie settle your chairs side by side, hands held close between you as music starts to fill the air.

It's loud enough that conversation is tough, but everyone seems satisfied to enjoy the bubble of contentment.

You hand out the next round during a break in the set, and Santi's pointed glance between you and Frankie elicits a nod.

He's beaming in your direction for at least another song.

When the band peters off and the applause fades the boys gather up the supplies, colder air starting to bite at your nose.

Genial hugs as you part ways warm you more than your trusty jacket.

Did they adopt you that quickly?

After turning on the car, Frankie rubs your air-chilled noses together and steals a headier kiss, more desperate and greedy than the ones he'd plied you with earlier.

"Can I take you home?"

Would you ever say no to that?

Abandoning his truck in your driveway, you also abandon your stuffed winnings on the seat.

Frankie finds it the next morning, wearing yesterday's clothes and your scent on his skin.

He smiles at it, how pathetically ugly-cute it is, before tucking it in the door storage pocket.

He forgets about it mostly, but every now and then it'll catch his eye and make him smile.

Just like you.
