I know for sure you made a most showing all of Hunter's official scars from crew art and whatnot, and I straight up cannot find them anywhere, do you happen to have reference photos??? I've looked in so many places (art reference struggle)
OOF.     okay, lemme... make like an entire reference post lmaokxjsk
first of all, we've got the Cheek Scar. we all know this one:
Tumblr media
(aw he looks so happy. i'm sure it'll stay that way!)
secondly, there's this scar on his left ankle:
Tumblr media
it's on the outer side of his leg, located slightly above his ankle, and it seems to kinda "curve around" his leg too, since we can see the scar up-front as well as from the back.
then, there's the scar on his left upper arm. we can see it in the show, in dana's art, and in color design refs for the episode:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(cannot stop thinking abt him wearing the vet clinic t-shirt btw... he definitely voluntereed at camila's clinic at some point........ he must've been so happy. just helping out, taking care of little creatures.. ough. he'd love that..........)
BUT ANYWAY, the scar also seems to kinda curve around the outer side of his arm (similar to his ankle scar) and it's a little bit diagonal.
next! we also see a scar on his right upper arm, although it's only in this scene, so there’s a slight possibility it’s actually an animation error, but nevertheless! it is there, so:
Tumblr media
it’s curved around the back of his upper right arm, horizontal.
then we have scars that dana has drawn on him but that aren’t actually drawn in the show:
Tumblr media
an x-shaped scar on his right knee, a scar on the outer side of his left calf/on the back of his leg, as well as a diagonal scar on the top side of his left lower arm (peeking out from under his glove).
AAAAAAAANNDDDDDD...... then we’ve got the new scars, too. ow.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
so............ he basically got new scars in most places belos’ goo was; probably wherever it was long enough to, uh, literally eat through hunter’s skin.. considering every animal belos had possessed before ended up being a skeleton....... SO..
new scars:  - a scar on his left cheek (similar to his previous cheek scar but mirrored + slightly smaller/shorter). - a scar on his left ear (it goes allll around the back too), around his ear nick. - a scar on...... a BIG portion of his right body: it has rather “jagged” lines and it starts and goes over his nose, his entire right cheek (covers a bit of his lower eyelid too), then it continues down to his neck (probably covers the entire right half of it, up-front and from the back), it probably covers his entire shoulder.. at the Least, and then it continues on and ends at his right upper arm....... uh - a scar on his left arm. it extends from his wrist to mid-upper-arm (and also has jagged lines). 
.........so! i’m in pain, i’m in agony, i’m in agony and pain and i just want him to be hAPPY.
but yeah! these are all the scars. i think

Please don’t pet me! I am working! (DC x DP)
The Service Animal Cujo notfic that I, personally requested but just like my extremely cringe Batman x Witcher fic, I have to do everything myself. I wrote this but held off during DC x DP week because I’m not participating in that. If I keep writing these, I’ll have to make a masterpost or probably whack them up on Ao3 for archive purposes at some point but for now: Here is the Space Obsessed Danny story and Here is the Kingmaker Danny story! CW for mention of panic attacks in this one!
So! Let’s get going. Danny died. He can’t stop thinking it. He was dead. He’s walking and talking now but he knows deep in his soul that everything’s different now. He was dead and somehow nothing has changed? He feels like something of his journey to hell itself should be visible in his skin – something more than the small exit scar on his left foot. Another dimension was opened through his body and his hairstyle didn’t even shift?
Sam and Tucker are just as freaked out as he is, but they aren’t nearly as frightened. The ghost powers and Halfa stigma won’t come until later, but right now Danny is having difficulty even considering the possibility of leaving the house. With Danny in such bad condition emotionally, there’s no way to cover up what happened, and Jazz takes them all to the hospital.
Now, I know in a lot of fanfics Danny has weird physiology even in human form (lower body temp, slower pulse etc) but I don’t remember any of that being canon so I’m ignoring it. And if it is canon then I am exercising my right to debone the original show like a small chicken and use it to make a flavourful stock.
So, Danny checks out with the doctors except for a weirdly tiny burn but he is having like 5 concurrent panic attacks about everything from “there’s nothing after we die”, “The electricity cooked me”, “Life has no meaning”, maybe even throw in a fun “I came back wrong”.
Hell, maybe he does have weirdly low vitals, but the rapid pulse is countering his slow heartbeat and decreased blood pressure etc. Up to you!
Danny probably ends up being sedated if he can’t calm down but by then there is a different issue. The doctors Fenton have arrived. Now, I think it’s no stretch of the imagination to say that under the wrong circumstances they would dissect Phantom if they got their hands on him but also I know they somewhat care for their children and canon has shown more than once that under good circumstances that they could accept Danny.
When his ghost sense goes off for the first time it’s pretty obvious. He’s in a hospital and instead of a tiny little whisp of silver breath; it’s like a fogbank creeping along a moor, its sea mist rolling in from the horizon of his mouth and whiting out his private hospital room. No one can see two meters in front of their own face, and it takes over a minute to fade. Sam screams out for Danny and tries to grab his hand where she knows it was but can no longer see. Tucker starts at the sound and drops his device, screeching gratingly at the clattering plastic of his PDA hitting linoleum, hard.
When the mist finally evaporates, the Fentons want to take him home immediately and run tests. They think the ghostly influence is ‘obvious’ but the 68-year-old nurse, Beatrice stands like a 5-foot-nothing wall of solid rock and won’t let them touch him. Jazz also angles herself between her parents and the door so if they did somehow manage to get their hands on Danny, they wouldn’t be able to leave without steamrolling her. Then the heartrate monitor goes wild as Danny panics about being a guinea pig for his parents’ less-than-lukewarm lab safety practices and they back off without further interruptions.
That’s the point when it hits them that everything that has happened to Danny is their fault. His accident was because of them, he’s melting down because of them, both of their children genuinely believe that they will hurt Danny just because he’s having weird ghostly side effects to almost dying in a ghost portal. One they built.
It’s a few hours later when they breach the subject of going home, of at the very least making a decision about school even if that decision is to formally take a leave of absence. Sam and Tucker’s parents had made them go home and he’s a lot calmer now but at this stage, his weird ghost powers are causing problems. It seems to the orderlies and nurses that his anxiety is getting worse because he’s turning intangible through cups and cutlery – making it look like he’s shaking so hard he can’t even hold a single cup, and is flat out refusing to eat.  
Even though it’s been less than a day it looks like Danny’s shock is just getting worse. He phases through his bed right as Beatrice and his parents walk through and they think he’s hiding under there out of fear. He tries to explain, confused, and disoriented and deep in denial. Jazz shuts him up. She doesn’t know completely what’s going on, but she knows enough, and she isn’t letting 12 hours of changed behaviour force her to blindly trust her parents.
Beatrice is most concerned. It hasn’t been very long but there’s no reasonable cause for his steep and steady decline. No reason outside of something-something-ghosts.  
That’s when the first few pamphlets come out about therapy animals. They require some time to be trained and the middle of nowhere Amity Park doesn’t exactly have a pool to choose from, but it’s okay to adopt a younger animal and train it themselves.
Danny looks at the pictures of the fluffy bunnies and alert-eared dogs with big, glistening eyes. Then puts them down. There’s no way an animal would be safe in his house.
That’s when the ghosts attack. Danny isn’t the only spectre with a ghost sense and these ghosts are less human due to a lack of ectoplasm. Obviously, the silver fog reappears, and, in his terror, Danny drops to the next floor of the hospital, glitching through his bed and the floor underneath it. He crashes painfully in the middle of the gift shop.
His parents reach the conclusion that due to his extreme ectoplasm contamination; he’s developed a serious allergy to ectoplasmic weaponry, including things like ectoblasts that ghosts have naturally. They’re not…the wrongest that they could be. Unfortunately, they decide that Evil Ghosts TM can sense this weakness and are trying to kill their poor baby boy. Everyone else is freaking out about ghosts being visibly proven but the Fentons knew ghosts were real with zero doubts so they’re rolling with it.
Now, due to the knowledge that he died, Danny is having difficulty worrying about other things like catching up with schoolwork, his weird new allergies/powers or even Dash.
BTW KUDOS to anyone still reading, I know this part was really long, but I really felt like I couldn’t just flim flam over the details of why Danny would need an emotional support/service animal even if it’s fictional.
First day back at school, the Lunch Lady attacks. Danny barely eeks out a win just like in canon.
His parents decide that this is because of the allergies and the ghosts being able to sense Danny’s weakness as I said above. And they take it upon themselves to root out the problem at its source, to find all the ghosts who could hurt their son and imprison them, partly for Danny’s safety and partly for study. Not even they are sure where the divide is between their two loyalties.
So, they look to their now-functioning portal.
Unfortunately, they were massively underprepared, and they don’t come back.
 Jazz sees the locked lab door and leaves them to it, making dinner and making sure Danny knows she wants him to be at school.
He doesn’t go, she lets him not go.
Two days later the boredom is worse than his fear. He goes to school. Danny, Sam and Tucker enter like a single unit. Dash tries some shit and either:
Jazz emerges and smacks his head hard enough he loses vision for several seconds – long enough for her to knee him hard enough to put the continuance of the Baxter lineage into question.
Danny starts panicking again. The teachers always want to side with Dash but him openly attacking a kid who was just in the hospital who doesn’t even lift a finger in defence of himself is beyond the limits of any sane adult’s “boys will be boys”.
Doesn’t really matter, the point is that he’s not looking to fuck around any time soon now that he’s already found out. But he did in fact attack Danny.
Danny goes home. His first attempt at school following his death has failed.
Tucker, separately, goes to a garage sale to buy old electronics to use in his PDA upgrades. He buys a boxful of weird lab equipment that definitely has a microchip or two. When he opens it at Danny’s house as an effort to distract him, a small pink teddy falls out. No one notices it bounce beneath the sofa. Sam or Jazz brings up the support animal idea again but is reminded of the whole “our house is a toxic waste site” thing and backs off.
Weeks pass, Danny develops his ghost powers and Jazz realises their parents are actually missing. She submits a missing person report mentioning the switched-on portal – the lab door was locked from the inside.
So, when Danny wakes up one day and there’s a glowing green dog already with a collar and a toy he thinks “ah yes, a dog that my sibling has procured for me as we discussed many times to help me cope with my own mortality, the near-constant ghost attacks and my parents who vanished.”
So, he puts a leash on Cujo who is happily chewing on his little pink teddy and takes him off to school while Jazz is using her first free period to go bother the local cops about their parents. (Why haven’t they been taken in by child protective services? Either:
Because I said so
Jazz is 18
Jazz used her improbable psychology powers to bamboozle the social worker into leaving)
Everyone at school loves Cujo. He gets all the love and does a very good job of dragging Danny away from ghost attacks (so he can fight them!!)
Jazz doesn’t find out about Cujo until the afternoon but probably lets the whole thing lie because it’s a great solution.
This could go on for some time. Both Danny and Phantom have Cujo but as Phantom Cujo stays in his big form so there’s no connection made. Canon mostly proceeds as normal except the parents aren’t there and there’s no huge issue with Valerie.
Realistically, a fair few high schoolers are probably also on the hunt for a pet ghost dog because if Danny and Danny both have one there must be heaps going around. Danny is also worried about his parents and periodically looks for them but that isn’t the focus of this story so I won’t go into a lot of detail – just clarifying that he’s not a sociopath who finds out his parents are missing and goes “oh ok”.
This could be its own story but let’s get to the DC part now!!
Eventually the Justice League connects the two calls, one about the ghost dog and one about the parents disappearing through a portal. Maybe Valerie complains, or even fanon favourite Wes contacts the authorities about the ghost dog with no official training or certification. Either way the JLA algorithm picks up these two very strange claims from one town and send someone to investigate.
But I mean, parents vanishing from a locked room and a green dog aren’t exactly world ending stuff, so instead of sending an actual busy superhero they send one of the kid heroes.
Now a lot of people will go ahead and put Damian into this. But I don’t really care for him in a dynamic with Danny. But I have another vigilante in mind, one who is less animal crazy, but more dog focused and also has issues with being seen as an actual person.
That's right, it's Conner Kent. And his faithful alien dog Krypto. I've seen a few fics where Danny adopts him, but you know what other family member should think you're an actual person? Your significant other. This could totally be a friendship thing no problem, but I do feel like some versions of canon Connor Kent would get on great with Danny.
Without the looming, repeated threat of vivisection, I think Danny would be a lot more chill about his secret identity and would probably disclose Cujo’s origins to Superboy. Once Connor knows about Cujo (Phantom’s dog) being able to shrink, he can see Danny with the dog once and connect all the necessary dots. Because I stand by the fact that the main reason Danny’s secret ID isn’t discovered more is because there’s no reason for a dead person to have a secret identity but once the concept is introduced then it’s pretty simple. Connor can hang out with Phantom while Phantom does ghost fights because the Kryptonian can’t really contribute but he’s there for moral support.
Eventually, Danny reveals to Connor that he himself was cloned before and talks excitedly about his clone who he considers a cousin. I definitely think without the parents there that Dani would visit more even if she has an obsession with travel, wanderlust or freedom that prevents her from permanently moving in.
This knowledge makes him very upset about how he was treated by his genetic donors, and Connor decides to move in with the Fenton siblings (without really asking the Fenton siblings) and decides that he’ll commute to the watchtower/titans tower/mount justice (depending on which version of canon he’s in sorry I can’t be bothered to figure it out).
Unfortunately, on top of not asking the Fentons, he doesn’t notify or ask anyone in the caped community. So as far as any of them are concerned, Connor went on a minor mission to investigate some missing people and is now himself missing.
Just as a caveat because I don’t feel like getting into an argument today, I used the terms both “service animal” and “emotional support animal” even though in most countries these are not interchangeable legal definitions. I use it in a non-legal way here because emotionally helping Danny – especially when that emotional stress causes physical damage is a service, and also there is the potential for Cujo to help Danny in other physical ways.
Also, there is definitely room here for Dani being buds with Match. I think that'd be neat.
If I could draw, I would make art of Cujo and Krypto being besties but I cannot so just picture it for two seconds. Done? Great, thanks!

Tumblr media Tumblr media
So I made those as requested by abscess chemical on twitter and figured it may be fun to share them on tumblr as well. And you know what? Share a break down of my choices as well, because why not! I tried doing it seriously haha.
Zhou Zishu:
Intense - 6/10: He can be very intense, re the things or people he's invested in, but he also has a chill and detached quality to him, a way of being at peace with things that he won't blow things out of proportions.
Complex - 9/10: I think that he's a very nuanced, multi-faceted and deep character, but I guess I didn't go 10/10 just because there's also a very straightforward and easy to get part of him (esp. from WKX's perspective.
Fruity - 2/10: I think the guy's very gay but not the most bombastic about it LBR.
---
Angst-lord: although it's not as obvious in TYK, QY gives us some EXTREMELY tasty ZZS angst and a good look into how ZZS can process things through anxiety. It definitely got more lowkey post-QY canon, but...
Flavor container: IDK what that means really but I wanted to tick it
Soft and sweet: I actually didn't check it on the twitter version initially (but published an erratum). He is described as soft on the inside by too many people not to check it.
Braincell haver: self-explanatory, the guy's brilliant
Chew toy: literally!
----
Tragic backstory: if QY can count as a backstory, then everything that happened with Jiuxiao works.
Frequently violent: duh
Sidekick owner: WKX is ZZS's sidekick from everyone else's perspective (or vice-versa) and my opinion abt it won't change ever.
Pet stray animals: ZCL, for one, and for two we all know he pets cats and raccoons
Chronic insomniac: technically, in TYK, the nails do force the insomnia, but we know from QY that he had a lot of trouble sleeping at night.
Murderer: well
----
Just some guy 95%: clearly he's a natural-born NPC/side character
Too many thoughts 100%: he overthinks everything!!
Awful company 15%: I think that a goofy drunkard like him is fun but not the best company, especially when he goes all grumpy shifu/shixiong
Beloved by all 60%: most characters REALLY like him (and the others don't even know he exists) and often praise how sweet he is. Charming against his will and attempts at being invisible uwu
Trauma x1000 10%: again, I think that the Jiuxiao story left deep scars.
Helps others for fun 70%: pretty much the plot of TYK
Scary-smart 80%: I think he's really brilliant but then you have these moments where he's just clueless abt stupid stuff and clearly doesn't care/doesn't want to know or try so those 20% left are the deliberate goof I guess.
1000 weapons and tools 50/50: it's both!! every rock is both a tool and a weapon and he just keeps pulling random shit from his bosom--
At peace with life 48%: I think, for the most part, he is--at peace with both life and death, until he decides that keeping on living is just the best option in the end.
Break the rules 80%: I had no idea w this one but... in TYK he pretty much does whatever he wants, so---
Extra comments: The way the "evokes" ticks every boxes for me to various degrees of intensity... sigh It was difficult for the "want them to have" section since I think he has everything post-canon, but I tried seeing it from a mid!canon perspective.
----------------------------
Wen Kexing
Intense - 9/10: While WKX's feelings are generally cold, they seem equally intense to me, just like his eyes or his stare. He's intense about his love, about his revenge, about his plans.
Complex - 6/10: I've had interesting convos about how WKX is... nuanced, of course, but not as complex or deep as it may seem on the surface. That doesn't take anything from how interesting he is, but he is rather straightforward in what he is, ultimately.
Fruity - 8/10: I MEAN--
----
Enemy of the State: he's literally THE main Jianghu villain
Flavor Container: I still don't know what it means but it felt right once again
Braincell haver: the guy is EXTREMELY smart and outsmarted everyone in TYK so yeah
----
Tragic backstory: can hardly do worse than parents murdered in front of you, ate your dad to survive, took care of a child in the wildest, most dangerous part of jianghu, fought to reach the top while "serving" the previous master........ He scored it all!
Orphan: again, fully checks out
Frequently violent: yes
Has enemies: in SPADES
Sidekick owner: GX and ZZS are WKX's sidekicks 100%
Murderer: yes
----
The antagonist of life 70%: had to change from protag to antag because he IS the TYK antagonist (if TYK had been a traditional wuxia from ZCL's perspective...); of course it ends up being subverted but you know
Too many thoughts 75%: I think he's a big thinker as well
Awful company 85%: Let's be real guys
Hated by all 30%: I think he's too underestimated or not even really acknowledged enough to be hated, but I am pretty sure that more people dislike him than the opposite
Trauma x1000 60%: well.......... I think he has a bunch!
Sadistic for fun 15% : I doubt he's one to like helping and we know him to have those sadistic tendencies
Scary-smart 80%: same reasoning as for ZZS
1000 weapons or tools: mostly bare handed for everything save for the occasional whip or walnut shell but---
Enemy of god 35%: I have to be honest I don't really know what that means but I guess he's defied death a few times!!!
Break the rules 95%: WKX shits on the rules
----
Additional notes:
Mostly ticks everything in the "evokes" categories as well, but I unticked "symptoms of projection" because I don't feel like I project much of anything on WKX... maybe? (save for the ZZS lewding.. LOL) always hard to say, IG we always do a bit of that on every character, eh
and The Horny ofc because i'm kinda known for not really lewding my good WKX atp
I want a lot of things for him during canon, but again, all I can think of is how post-canon WKX really got it and then I gush and am simply happy for him.
That's it thank you for reading this mostly unnecessary breakdown!!!! Edit, following a comment asking for the sheet:

thinking about how sometimes, you're 21 and still living with your parents. They're not nice, you don't want to but for whatever reason you stay where they do. And it kills you because the freedom that you crave for should be yours, but it isn't. You want to run away, want to climb out of the box they set you in but being diplomatic is what you settle for.
Dabi lived as a stray for a long time, for fucked up reasons, you could tell from his scars. Would he turn back time? To when he was still Touya? He could still run away, still say fuck everything and leave. But maybe a son needs unbearable proof that his father is not good for him.
There's bittersweet feelings about his scars, you have bittersweet feelings about your dependence on your family. You two meet one day.
It was after a rough week, your legs moved out of the house before you realised it when your mother's deafening silent treatment got unbearable. Her tone, her stare, her cold shoulders shaved you off from the sides. You were infuriated by her childish behaviour, hurting like a child that you no longer were and all you wanted was to either die or get a hug.
You end up running into the League of Villains instead. They were just swarming the streets, looking for fun and probably food. They glared at you, Toga's sharp teeth glinting under the street light. You wondered how wayward you had become to go between alleyways and stalk into an unknown place.
You wanted to die but not that violently.
A sniffle escapes you though, your cheeks streaked with tears that had been flowing the whole way. You let them drip down, let the little warmth from accumulated sadness comfort you. It sat icy cold on you but your hands were stubborn on not moving.
"Ah! A friend, a friend! Maybe they can feed us! Hi! Can you help a sis out--" Toga hopped forward.
"Okay." You said, cringing at the lack of impulse control. They would take your money anyways, at least you could come out unscathed.
Everyone was shocked, even the person who asked but you dug through your bag and took out some crumpled loose notes. Not a lot, not enough for everyone and not enough to be able to keep some for a motel.
(You should've gotten your allowance before----
You should've gotten a job
You should've just stopped being a disappointment)
But, you'd wait for the sun to rise somewhere and figure out if you wanted to go back or not. (It was already extremely unsafe but you'd lost any emotion at that point, fear gone with your tears.)
"Take it." You said while extending your hand to the young girl. She was in a high-school uniform, you wondered if she'd be okay.
"You're a weirdo, thank you so much!" A blonde, masked guy had spoken a bit too loudly for your liking. It made you flinch.
You knew you were making a mistake, knew that you were lost and finding a way back home would take time and that you never wanted to step inside that house ever again. You were being reckless, an idiot but the numbness wouldn't budge and you were still doing this to survive.
"What's a little thing like you doing here, though?" The very obvious leader of the gang said after he was handed the money.
"My mom's being a cunt."
The laughter that followed was surprising but welcomed, you never got to say it. No one around you would approve of it but these strangers seemed to embrace it wholeheartedly.
One person caught your attention, his body leaning against the wall as his chest shook from the strength of his laughter. He was sharp edges, scarred patches and a pretty smile with jagged canines. He was pretty.
"God, needed that. What's your name?" The white haired leader asked.
You introduced yourselves to each other, only the tall guy with black hair and a pretty smile said nothing. You were intrigued, maybe because you'd become used to silence too much. Or maybe it was because his laughter made you curious about how his voice sounded. But initiating conversations with hot people (he was undeniably hot), was never your forte.
It took a while, of them inviting you to eat ramen in an empty parking lot (you knew you were being naive for thinking they wouldn't harm you but they shared ramen with you. It was your own money but the thought was counted.) and the goth guy came next to you eventually.
He stood tall, cigarette hanging from his mouth and back leaning against a wall. You were silent but eyed him, ingraining the shape of him into your head. You wondered if maybe he found you intriguing with that ever-present bored expression on his face.
You hope he did.
"I'm Dabi. My dad's a cunt too."
A/N: wrote this as catharsis but @dabislittlemouse I thought of u too when I wrote it

Yandere!Diluc, Childe, Pantalone (separate/you can add more if you want) & Prostitute!afab!reader
Hear me out, the darling is in desperate need of money & hey she has features and a body that can rival even the most beautiful of Goddesses but she can also be very bratty & spoilt although, kind too children and the elderly.
And maybe this is her first night working as one &  coincidentally the Yandere just so happens to be her first customer. Then boom for the few weeks they have been their only customers for some reason & has been given extremely large sacks of cash or expensive things like jewelry or clothes from the Yandere before leaving.
And then oh no the Yandere got a lil too attached and basically asked the reader how much for them to be theres forever? Name your price they have mountains of money they don’t even use.
Oh? Your into rich men & don’t really give a f*ck what else happens just as long they have money?
My brainfart stopped there :p
-🌿
(cw: yandere, female reader, nsfw, baby-trapping/forced pregnancy mentions, unhealthy behaviors/relationship, obsession, implied kidnapping/captivity)
Diluc is always so stiff and cordial throughout every meeting. You’ve told him countless times to loosen up and that he’s allowed to be himself around you, but he never seems to fully let his guard down. Perhaps he’s fearful of getting too attached and possibly losing you once this obsession roots itself into his very bloodstream. He’s the type to present you with a bouquet of fresh flowers or a necklace with a gemstone that reminded him of your radiant beauty. His gifts come from the heart, and he’s always so gentle and kind around you—a true gentleman whose heart has been pierced by Cupid’s whimsical arrow.
Even in bed, he seems to regard you as if you’re a fragile sculpture who’ll crumble at the slightest touch. He worships you, hanging onto your every word, and he sinks deeper into infatuation every time he finds himself tangled in bed with you. Diluc knows that as one of Mondstadt’s few eligible bachelors anyone would be delighted to have him, but he’s not interested in any proposals or romantic outings with anyone who isn’t you. His eyes are reserved solely for you, and when he looks upon you and realizes you’re wearing the sheer nightgown he gifted you his heart warms considerably.
There are moments where he can’t bring himself to get out of bed and instead keeps his arms wrapped securely around you, burying his face in your skin and inhaling the perfume that clings to you even after he’s done everything to ensure you’ll smell only of him and no one else. Even if this relationship is devoid of true love and you’re only providing a service, he’d like to delude himself into thinking it’s real. For just a moment, won’t you humor his delusions? If not, he might just have to find clever ways to keep you by his side forever.
- - -
As one of the Tsaritsa’s elite Harbingers, Childe has always been wary when it comes to prostitutes and red-light districts. While he doubts anyone would be able to assassinate him, it’s still a thought that lingers in the back of his mind. After all, he’s not the most well-liked. With his involvement with the Fatui and his schemes in Liyue, it’s obvious that Childe would be outcasted. And anyone who might be looking to collect a bounty or a reward for his head might try their luck when he’s most vulnerable and prone to lower his guard in the bedroom.
And yet he finds himself trusting you. Only slightly, mind you, and he keeps his Vision close on his person should you prove to harbor malicious intent. When he realizes that this is your first time with such a high profile customer, he can’t help wanting to jeer and tease. It’s so precious to watch you fumble with the clasps of his belt. Even if it’s an act, he’ll play along, guiding your hands with his calloused and scarred ones. Cooing at you that you’re doing so well when you lower yourself onto him, gripping his shoulders so hard that your fingernails leave crescent-shaped indents in his skin. Oh, he’s absolutely enthralled with you. You’ve given him a taste of something he didn’t realize he was craving, and now the chase is on. He won’t let you go.
Childe will pry into your life in that usual casual fashion of his, conveniently crossing paths with you while claiming that it must be some stroke of fate that’s brought the two of you together. What started as late-night meetings in the dimly lit room of the brothel you work at soon evolves into the occasional nightly rendezvous in which he whisks you away from the city under the inky vastness of night. It almost feels like he wants more from you when he takes your hand in his and guides you through the shadows to a hilltop that’s perfect for stargazing and watching the moon as it’s veiled within wispy strands of cloud.
Surely he’s not seeking actual romance. It’s a thought you can’t help but laugh at. The both of you are very content with the relationship you’ve cultivated. You provide your body and in return he pays you a hefty sum of Mora, along with some other spoils and treasures he’s acquired throughout his travels. And yet when your body is pressed against his and your heartbeat aligns with his and you exchange heated breaths through smoldering kisses, it really feels like he’s a man starved of true affection. So you can’t blame him when he insists on cumming inside one evening, ignoring your slurred protests and pressing himself against you in a position that’s certain to get you pregnant.
And bathed in the reddish hue of the candles and lamps that surround you in this silken paradise of a room, he looks positively devilish.
- - -
Materialism is a concept Pantalone is intimately acquainted with. As a wealthy man with a position of considerable power and strength, he could throw his Mora at any pursuit that catches his fancy and he wouldn’t have to worry about losing anything. With an abundance of Mora at his fingertips, the world becomes his oyster. And you exist within that shell as his precious, perfect pearl. He’s not offended when you ask for expensive things in exchange for your services. If anything, he encourages your greed, wishing to see just how deep it runs within you.
For someone as rich as he is, there are no limits to the things he can covet. And despite this he finds himself unable to make you his. To claim ownership over you and to prove to you that you belong to him and him only. How exactly can one put a price on human life when yours is so priceless? You’re his missing puzzle piece—the sole person who makes him uniquely whole. It’s as if the entire world melts away when he’s with you, holding you against him as he forces you to eye your reflection in an ornate mirror, his cock buried in your gummy walls. He’ll lavish you with all kinds of gifts, but what he loves most of all is when you wear them with pride. He’ll drape finery over your shoulders, tie jewels around your throat, and dress you in gowns so lovely it’s almost a crime to dirty them in the bedroom—each luxury a step in making you his.
There will be no dreams of fairytale romance here. Not when Pantalone is so certain that you’ll return his affections eventually. And even if you don’t, no one will look into the disappearance of a prostitute—especially if her captor happens to hold the economy in the palm of his generous hand. Your prison cell may sparkle and your shackles may be silver, but confinement is still confinement no matter how opulently furnished it may be. Pantalone assures you that you’ll be content here. Though you may cower from him now, pressing yourself into the corner of the bed whenever he wishes to lie with you, he’s certain you’ll come to understand his reasoning.
After all, the two of you had such a genuine connection before. Why are you so frightened now? He’s always been dangerous; this isn’t anything new. You’ve just mistaken the devil for an angel in the intoxicating shroud that is bedroom whimsy.

What if John disapproved of beloved? Would Terry go as far as leaving them, Is he more loyal to him than to beloved?
---
Okay, I mean, to answer this, we got to research the supposed thirty something years of weird stalemate and absence John Kreese had in Terry's life and how Terry said, to quote, 'It's the best thing that's ever happened to him', which sounds like something someone embittered who had his heart broken by a close friend would more or less say anyway in the vein of 'You left!? Well, guess what!? It did me a world of good!' even though they're still hurting and reeling and probably will for the rest of their lives. Even their world actually collapsed when it happened.
I actually believe Terry Silver has a limit in patience. Perhaps not in devotion.
But, in patience? Yes.
Terry literally had the Cobra tattoo removed from his rib at some point or other and left a scarred maw behind because, well, yeah, if there's a brotherhood of two and one of the brothers leaves, there's no more brotherhood.
He's not a dog that can exactly be kicked without consequences.
You do it once and you wind up in jail under false charges, as witnessed with Kreese's case.
😬
I think his limit comes about when he tries everything --- and I do mean everything --- and nothing he throws at the wall for a person sticks or makes them happy. Truly content. Like in the case of John, Terry tortured a teenager for him, bribed referees, procured a champion, trained said champion, meanwhile, sent his depressed friend on a vacation, bought revenue locations for him all over town, offered him jobs time and time again, tried to bankroll his entire existence and ultimately, John still disappeared on him ---- or rather, made it clear he didn't want to be found. I think the fact Terry attempted so much and went truly and above and beyond for a friend only to still have that friend turn his back on him led to such a huge psychical shift and even breakdown for him that it shook Terry's existence and for a while, it is safe to say he indeed left John be for ages even though I'm convinced a man of his means undoubtedly knew exactly where the guy was; which means...Terry has the capacity to be loyal to himself and let the situation germinate untouched under extreme measures, and do so for thirty years. Ironically...it is still a form of devotion. If Johnny said, leave me be for the rest of my life, Terry could very well do it because it's anything Johnny says, always, for the rest of his life --- but I digress.
Point is; Terry Silver has limits.
Which means...if John didn't approve of beloved...and if it went to some really excessive measures where beloved's very existence could endanger their friendship, Terry Silver might just break away...but only ever if he himself considered beloved worthy enough for it. Very important to note.
He won't do this for just anyone. If for anyone.
Because I think Terry's self aware; like, don't figure he's gonna mess up half a lifetime of knowing John Kreese over someone he's randomly fucking or someone who's company he's effectively sponsoring, for example --- if John said he didn't like someone who has temporary written all over them, Terry could be very easily influenced by his Captain to leave such a person --- I mean, he very clearly leaves Cheyenne without a word and nobody can tell me it's, among others, not because it was blatantly obvious John didn't like her. So happened Terry internally agreed, cut his losses and moved on because he just about knew this would be the result of the relationship sooner than later anyway. You don't invest your stocks into a sinking ship; it's just basic business and Terry Silver's a businessman, first and foremost.
What if his relationship wasn't a sinking ship?
What if it was sturdy? Durable? Meant to last?
I think Terry would be heartbroken he has to do this, that he has to choose, that his hand is pushed like this, but he and John would have a huge fallout and it wouldn't be easy. It would be messy. Unhinged. Volatile. It would just about be the hardest decision Terry probably had to make where his connection to someone is concerned; he'd feel controlled. Ripped out of his own roots. Forced to choose. Lacking choices and authority, which he'd undoubtedly despise. He'd feel cornered --- and when a beast is cornered, it bites. It would leave behind this huge, gaping wound behind and Terry would try time and time again to make it work, but ultimately, if it didn't, he'd let John go and that would possibly just shatter his mind for a long while because here he was, attached at the hip with John since they were effectively boys in uniform and they were meant to die for each other, if need be, and here John was, leaving over something as offensive as Terry finding true love. John had his shot fair and square, Terry would be convinced --- with Betsy and Terry was happy for him when it happened ages ago, and now, when the opposite is true, John can't be happy for him!?
Terry Silver would be crestfallen and the distancing that takes place between him and John after this is probably the most sordid, complicated, layered and harrowing instance of two old friends falling apart imaginable to the degree if he ever had children with beloved he'd STILL downright name at least one of them John in spite of everything that happened because if the original had to be cut loose, Terry will create a new one literally out of his own flesh and blood mingled with beloved's and raise one that'll be so much a part of him he'll never leave or be able to because that's his child. His legacy. He'll have the upper hand this time. He'll ensure everything's under control. Everything will be as Terry Silver imagined it.
He'll have his own John. He'll fix the course of history this time around.
He'll have a second shot.
Terry's patience has a limit...but his devotion does not.
How's that for meta?

v3 scar headcanons
pondering the orb that is the v3 cast and scars. this is obviously going to be triggering though for a multitude of reasons so i’m gonna slap a big ol abuse/self harm/torture trigger warning on here and then drop everything below the cut. proceed with an abundance of caution :3
shuichi saihara i’m probably far from the only person who headcanons shuichi as having had a history of self harm. i think a lot of people really reduce and water down shuichi’s character to “guy with anxiety and depression” but it’s a very longstanding and personal headcanon to me. i think he has largely gotten over it by the time he attends hope’s peak, but still has the occasional relapse. scars mostly on the inner thigh and wrists.
hoshi ryoma ryoma, i don’t believe has much of a history of personal injury (and injuries he likely got in tennis mostly didn’t leave any scars) but i think he has old scars from cat scratches and bites over the years. also some nicks across his arms and abdomen from various scuffs in prison, mostly onesided; ryoma’s not the kind of guy who fights back, not really.
gonta gokuhara this dude grew up in the woods so you know he’s got all kinds of gnarly scars on his torso and legs. claw marks, bite marks, maybe something on his head from a particularly sharp rock. they’re his reminders of his time growing up with his forest family and i think while gonta doesn’t necessarily experience much of a feeling of “pride” around them, he isn’t ashamed of them either.
kiibo robot. skip
korekiyo shinguuji korekiyo is an abuse victim. i am reasonably confident about this stance. i think on the whole the abuse that korekiyo faced from his sister was psychological or coercive, mostly because his sister was bedridden, but i could see him having a scar or two from that time. what really would’ve stuck with this dude physically is his wack ass backstory-- this guy has undergone some crazy shit for his research, including torture which i won’t get into for obvious reasons, but like. yeah that’s gonna leave a mark. i also am of the opinion that the bandages on his arms cover scars that he created himself, not as a form of self harm but rather for like, blood sacrifice for rituals and stuff? but i did indeed borrow that hc from my brother soo.
kaito momota i think kaito has scars all over his knuckles from splitting them during fights. i don’t think he’s the violent hard hitter the fandom characterises him as, but i do think kaito struggles to articulate his anger, and that can turn into lashing out. especially if someone is being unreasonable or cruel to someone he cares about. so, scars on his knuckles. he might have other scars from similar fights, but kaito strikes me as the kind of guy to go in fists blazing, he definitely doesn’t fight with weapons if he can avoid it. the only other notable scar i hc him as having is a thin scar on his temple from the car crash that killed his parents when he was eight.
kokichi ouma so i’m actually one of the few people who doesn’t necessarily hc that kokichi grew up in an orphanage, i like the hc and i do use it from time to time but i read kokichi as a foster care kid. going from houses where he either had to bodily escape punishment or cause trouble just to get a bit of attention. dice being other members of the system/kids who were also as forgotten and unloved. all this to say i do find it extremely plausible that kokichi could’ve had some extent of physical abuse in his past from particularly rough homes-- and as such has some scars from that time. other scars he received through Shenanigans.
rantaro amami rantaro travels a lot, and talks about all his wack ass adventures and near-death experiences-- not to mention that it is canon in utdp that he will sometimes return home with a concealed injury. as such i think rantaro is pretty scarred up like gonta, primarily around the torso/abdomen area, but he has a few assorted scars on his legs, and a bunch of marks on his hands. my friend jim and i share the hc that he has scars that encircle both of his wrists from a kidnapping incident when he was eleven.
kaede akamatsu bit more of a normal one, palate cleanser, kaede lived a relatively mellow life. any scars she has are probably just from skinned knees and stuff-- EXCEPT for a large scar on her knee from a bike accident as a kid. ouch girl.
angie yonaga angie comes from an island where blood donation is a pretty common practice, so she probably has a few marks on her arms from the procedure. given that i don’t know much else about polynesian culture and angie’s writing is pretty disrespectful as is, i think it’s probably better if i just leave it there as far as any scars she could have gotten in a ritualistic sense. i will say that angie spaces out when she does art, so she might have some scars from accidents caused while working-- she does work with a chisel after all.
miu iruma given that miu was in a car accident that put her in a coma, she probably has a fair amount of scarring all over her body. abrasions, and also burn scars aren’t out of the question. miu is a pretty reckless inventor too so hard to believe she wouldn’t have picked up a nick or two working on her silly little things.
tsumugi shirogane tsumugi sews, but needle pinpricks don’t really leave scarring as long as ur not going fucking crazy with it. i think the vast majority of tsumugi’s injuries would come in from her time working as a bartender. broken glass is pretty nasty, and people probably would’ve gotten into at least the occasional fight. maybe a little scratch on her cheek from a conflict that didn’t get defused before things started flying. tsumugi wishes her scars were cooler, but they are, as she is, quite plain.
himiko yumeno she has an appendix scar on her tummy and a few on her knees from tripping. pretty normal life though.
tenko chabashira hey why don’t we ever talk about the fact that tenko is literally a vigilante? i think that’s a pretty relevant detail of her character that nobody talks about. she’s probably witnessed a bunch of violent crime, and from a very young age, too... i think tenko has probably gathered her fair share of scars, largely on her hands, but some on her shoulders, face, and legs. she’s tough though! she looks on her scars with pride, memories of the times she’s been able to keep girls safe.
kirumi toujou as a competent maid, occasions where kirumi actually gets injured in her work are pretty rare. she’s an overworker though, so i think she might’ve pushed herself far enough to cut herself a few times while cooking. on the more dangerous side of her work, i definitely think kirumi is the type of person to endanger herself in the name of her duty, so scars from various murder attempts-- knife, gun, whatever-- are definitely not out of the question. maybe even a knife wound on the back... but kirumi walked it off. she is a maid, after all.
maki harukawa the obvious answer here is that maki is scarred all over and honestly FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK drs for pretending like that’s not true. in her training to become an assassin maki was tortured repeatedly, using a variety of methods, in order to toughen her skin and make it so that she could withstand great pain. i have a hard time believing there is a lot of maki’s body that isn’t scarred. aside from the scars from her training, i’m sure maki has also collected a fair amount of scarring from missions and such. oh girl.

I don't know why everyone's pretending and saying Till's scars are because of stage props. Some may be, especially back in the day, but definitely not now. We all know from what those scars are. And lately, for clearly obvious reasons, they've gotten much worse. It's truly horrible to look at and not be cause it's grotesque, but just how low was he feeling to have done that.
And tonight, with his arm profusely bleeding because one of the wounds opened...horrific!
It's really painful to see a man his age still going through it. In various ways, you can tame whatever is going on in ones head, but unfortunately, Till's never been successful.
(warning: skip this post and definitely the links if you are triggered by self harm)
It *is* horrific 🥺 very troubling to watch 🥺
Unfortunately Till gets hurt and hurts himself a lot, has for years and it is still the case. And equally unfortunate is that it's not just simply for one reason either, because if that were the case i would hope that someone would step in and just remedy that one cause.
We know that he did occassionally get hurt by problems with equipment, the Engel wings are said to have left their scars, and he has mentioned in interviews getting burned by pyro. If that were the *only* reason for his injuries, then Rammstein crew or management really would need to step up their game, and try to prevent that from happening.
We also know that some of the stage antics have left Till getting hurt as well, most noticeably Flake breaking a tl lamp on his back in their early shows as a regular act, they talked about it in Rammstein in Amerika (how US lamps are much tougher to break). We know Till in earlier shows made a habit of hitting his head against a microphone or a metal stand (vividly remember Schneider wincing at that) and laughing maniacly after it. This is imo part of the way Till likes Rammstein stage antics to be. Same with the videos, the band is always applauded for their integrity of doing everything 'real', but that also means selfflagellation in the Rosenrot video is part of it. This is Rammstein, they like to do things like this, even if it makes some fans cringe.
Then we have the offstage stories of Till doing a drunk bar game with Peter Tagtgren of who could hold their hand over a flame longer (no points in guessing who won, and as i remember it, had to have a skingraft afterwards). Or cutting himself to bleed over his poetry pages to make it less boring and his entourage helping to swap the pages (there's another video of this where we see the entourage actually laughing and enjoying themselves while doing so, but i can't find it right now, and to be honest...i didn't really look that hard...when i say i don't really like Till's entourage, this is one of the things i mean)
And then we also know Till has difficult times in his life of depression and extreme lows. These fuel his poetry in parts, he writes about his darkness, and imo that is a great outlet. But I could very well imagine that he hurts himself at those times as well, seeing how easily he hurts himself in other times. He has said before that he isn't one for therapy (i think said that he doesn't know anyone who got therapy and improved from it) but i really hope at some point he would find some way of dealing with what happens in healthier ways, without the need for self-harm. When a fan said something similar on one of Zoran Bihac's ig posts, Zoran replied something like "it's handled" with a picture of pills, which i understood in a 'Zoran and Till' kind of way (they both like to hurt Till in Lindemann videos imo) but it still made me feel uncomfortable..
The bleeding on stage in Paris was imo likely a combination of a recent arm wound (we saw it when he was photographed 'out and about') that had closed up, but that got torn open again when changing clothes or equipment, which i can imagine happens easily when your skin is damaged anyway.
And although i don't like to pull the 'age card', aging also has a detrimental effect on the skin, even a small bump can cause bleeding, let alone everything that Till subjects his body to..
Whatever the cause, the tour will be over soon, and he can be out of the limelight, doing stuff he likes. I hope if depression and dark times are the cause, that he is open to talking to friends or family about it Let's just hope that with age he will grow kinder with himself as well
Maybe he just needs to hear that he doesn't need to hurt himself for people to love him 🌺

"Am I in a trunk", Whumpee gasped as they blinked awake. They tried to move, but they were tied up.
They had been out shopping with their partner. They stopped for a drink, and that's when everything went dark. They had no idea what happened after or where their partner was.
Whumpee whimpered, "he couldn't have found me again, could he?"
The car came to a sudden stop, sending Whumpee flying against the trunk wall. They shifted towards the back of the trunk when the car moved again.
"I think I'm going to be sick", Whumpee groaned. The motion of the car and the thought of Whumper finding them had their stomach doing flips.
Finally, the car stopped and was shut off, Whumpee waited to hear what was going on.
The trunk door opened. Their partner peaked in, and grinned.
"They're awake", they said to someone.
"Oh good", an awfully familiar voice came from the front of the car and grew closer.
Whumpee's eyes grew wide when Whumper peered into the trunk.
"Well, hello Whumpee, I'm glad to see you again", Whumper smiled, then squeezedbtheir face, "your partner here was extremely helpful in bringing you back to me."
Whumpee shot a glance at their partner.
"I'm sorry, but it was for a good cause", their partner tried to assure.
Whumper pulled the gag from Whumpee's mouth, "let me see that face, I've missed you so much."
Whumpee looked angrily at their partner, "you brought me back to the person who tortured me, the reason I've spent years in therapy to heal from, what was the cause?"
"What any person would love, money", Whumper laughed.
"You sold me?", Whumpee yelled.
"I'm sorry, but kind of", their partner looked at them, "I was going to break up with you, this seemed like a pretty good option. He said he never hurt you, that it was a lie."
"And you believed that, of course he's going to hurt me, you've seen the scars", Whumpee started to sob.
"Come on, let's get you paid up, I'll take them off your hands", Whumper grinned at Whumpee.
They both disappeared, Whumpee heard some commotion, and then a gunshot made them jump.
Whumper came around to the trunk again, "honestly, you could have done so much better than that douchebag."
"Thanks Captain Obvious, I see that now", Whumpee sighed, "so now what?"
Whumper reached inside of the trunk and dragged them out. They then hoisted Whumpee over their shoulder.
"What do you mean?", Whumper carried them to their awaiting vehicle, "you're coming with me, and I'm destroying the evidence "
Whumpee got sight of their partners body, and the blood.
"I'm going to puke", Whumpee started to gag.
Whumper set them down on the ground, where they did indeed vomit.
"That's gross", he folded his arms, "I forgot you have a sensitive stomach."
Whumper left them on the ground, he shoveled up the puke and placed it in the other vehicle, then put the body in it as well. He dumped some gas on the vehicle and lit it on fire.
"Caretaker will find me", Whumpee yelled at him, "you won't get away with this."
Whumper whipped around and kicked them in the stomach, "shut up, I guess you will have to relearn manners. You've been away from me for too long. You actually think you're a human, and not a mindless puppet. I'm going to fix that."
They both froze at the sound of multiple guns being cocked.
Whumper instantly rose his hands, and side eyed Whumpee.
Caretaker was one of those with a gun on Whumper. He smiled when he saw the defeat in Whumper's face.
"Someone saw what happened at the mall, and through a line of tips, we made it in time to see a car catch on fire", Caretaker stated loudly then stepped forward, "Whumper I don't know what mistake was made to let you out of prison, but rest assured it won't happen again."
Whumper rolled his eyes and did what the police told him to do. He yelled one last thing to Whumpee, "therapy won't help you forget everything. My marks are still on you, and you'll never lose them."
Caretaker stepped over to Whumpee , knelt down, and cut loose the ropes. Whumpee sat up and hugged him.
"I'm so sorry Caretaker", Whumpee cried into his shoulder.
"Hey, it's okay, you didn't know any of that was going to happen", Caretaker rubbed on Whumpee's back, "are you okay?"
"He kicked me in the stomach, and this was a lot", Whumpee weakly laughed, still feeling some shock.
"Okay, we can go to the emergency room on the way back home", Caretaker stood up and helped them get up, "then we can talk about this, and I'll schedule an appointment with your therapist."
Caretaker guided them to their car, Whumpee glanced back at Whumper, then at the ablazed car.
"He was an idiot, but I don't think he realized the severity of what would happen to me", Whumpee looked at Caretaker, "I bet Whumper made it sound like he was the good guy."
"I'll do some digging with the detectives on this", Caretaker looked straight at Whumper, "this should not have happened, starting with how he got out."
"Good luck", Whumper yelled at them, "you know I'm more than capable of hiding things from you."
"Whumpee go ahead and get in the car and get situated, I'll be right back", Caretaker slammed his door noticeably annoyed by Whumper.
Whumper laughed, "you can't legally touch me."
Caretaker grabbed him under his armpits, and pulled him up to standing, "listen you sack of ...", Caretaker stopped just short of saying what he wanted. "There are a lot of things I can't legally do to you that I would so much enjoy."
Whumper looked at him, sort of wide-eyed at how strong Caretaker was.
"I will insure you get everything handed to you because I will be in every part of your prosecution." Caretaker smirked, "you messed with one of my people. Now I get to be in your preceding."
Whumper's grin had long disappeared, this was the first time they fully met Caretaker, and he was a lot more intimidating than he thought.
Caretaker smiled, having seen his point made clear. He released his hold on Whumper.
"I will contact the detectives later, after I have Whumpee taken care of", Caretaker looked at one of the officers, "if anything changes I wish to be notified, I need Whumpee to be kept safe."
"Yes sir of course", the officer saluted him.
Caretaker noticed Whumpee was in tears as he got into the vehicle.
"Are you ok?", he asked with a concerned look.
"Yes sir", they smiled in sobs, "after the afternoon I just had, it was really gratifying watching you intimidate Whumper."
Caretaker smiled at them, "I'm glad."
"Let's get you to emergency to check on your abdomen, then we can go home. We can get dinner, and watch a movie", Caretaker started the car.
"I'd like that, sir."

I need to sleep but I have literally just been thinking about Scott and Martyn. No this is definitely not me desperately trying to ignore the ending of limited life. Not at all 🙃. ANYWAYS. I keep thinking about how funny it would be if Martyn was somehow just the most oblivious man on the entire server, which really doesn’t seem entirely out of character for him. Like, my head just keeps defaulting to romantic comedy scenarios where Martyn is extremely competent and super observant or aware of everything going on around him EXCEPT for the painfully obvious fact that Scott is head over heels for this man. Scott definitely has a type, and the type is dumb blondes, what can I say? Even Scar is aware enough to be able to pick up on how airy Scott gets about Martyn whenever he comes over to the clock tower to hang out with them. The whole server wants to throttle Martyn for a completely different reason now, and it’s mostly got to do with him making everyone lose their minds with how unbelievably blind he is. Even Pearl and BigB get so fed up with it that they try to convince Martyn of the obvious. Of course, Martyn isn’t having it. He just interprets it as some weirdly elaborate ploy to lure him into a trap, or a thinly veiled threat towards Scott’s life (which immediately sets off his protective tendencies, because of course it does). They all come to the conclusion that Martyn wouldn’t notice he’s being pined after even if it smacked him in the face. Now the whole server is desperately trying to get Scott to get his shit together and kiss that idiot of a man, since that seems to be the only way he could possibly get Martyn to realize how he feels. All of their friends are suffering the consequences of these two idiots that clearly like each other, and all they want to do is get back to their normal schedule of murdering each other.
-🪸
LMAO YESmartyn being so smart and observant about everything except Scott being so in love- absolutely perfect
Ties setting up a "Date" for the two of them woild be good- like Skizz saying to go up onto the affirmation platform thing and don't come down until one of you say what you really mean

hello hello! on the topic of c! hermit education I think it’d be so funny if each of them was Extremely Good at one very specific aspect of school and Shite at everything else, so altogether they make one very competent person
on that topic and to relate it back to scar hurt/comfort (because of course) I think he’d assume he was the only person who didn’t get schooling because his Extremely Good At Thing is art, which isn’t immediately obvious
so he’s really embarrassed by it all, until he’s talking to grian for instance and grian’s going on about essays (im not projecting whattt) and scar is feeling awful because grian is obviously so good at this, he must have been amazing at school. scar says that, but to his surprise grian goes red and admits embarrassedly that he never actually went to school, he just really liked analysing texts and so he got good at it
and that’s the point when the domino falls and they go around the sever asking various other hermits and- yup, turns out everyone on the sever is only good at one academic thing because they were super interested and taught themselves and have no idea how to do like. anything else academic
scar is immensely relived because it’s not just him!
(I think it’d be funny also if x was the only person who had actual schooling and wasn’t bad at anything but was, at maximum, good at everything; mostly just average, and just thought everyone else must have gone to some super fancy school)
they set up a sort of school thing where, every sunday, someone teaches the rest of them about the One Thing they are fantastic at, and there’s some sort of schedule—like it starts with one person and cycles through until it comes back around
this is brought to you by someone who can and will talk at you about inspector calls/macbeth/etc for hours because I do actually kind of love analysing stuff lmfao
This is so good actually

I'd like to know your head canons on JBM, plus, how would Marvin react when they figure out that homophobia/transphobia exists?
Starting off with Marv, they'd mostly be like "???????? H u h??" In response to that because it just doesn't sound real to them tbh. Like "it's literally none of their business why are they so mad??".
NOW FOR JBM HCS.
- Jackie's HOH/Partially deaf, and uses hearing aids, he developed hearing problems in his childhood (around age 10) and uses BSL (my newest version of JBM is British-Irish)
- Jackie is the youngest out of all the egos so to everyone (except Marvin) he's seen as the younger brother/son figure
- Jackie's powers are a direct result of IRIS experimenting with Anti-Matter. He doesn't know this but he was specifically chosen to one day be the person to put an end to Anti's reign, but the experimentation didn't go as planned and Jackie was essentially cast aside (some IRIS workers were genuinely considering killing him so their work isn't revealed to the public).
-Carrying on from the last note; Jackie's powers can look extremely similar to Anti's because of the fact that he was created with stopping Anti in mind- meaning he has things like teleportation(however it's only in short bursts, think Hunter from The Owl House), an unnatural endurance, super strength and a level of control over electrical fields. One of the side effects is that his powers can occasionally become unstable if not regulated properly.
- Another side effect is the fact that he can't exactly die? Since his powers directly correlate with Anti (yk the guy that's literally in a "dead" body 24/7) his "healing abilities" arent the fact that he's healing it's that his body naturally works on injuries faster- meaning it would take something that would kill him instantaneously for it to actually work- otherwise he will eventually come back from it (also the healing doesn't mean he can't get scars anymore, he still gets scars from any injury he attains) and yes he does still feel pain
- Ever since he completely cut ties with IRIS, he out right refuses to use his powers as much as he is physically able too, sometimes he's unable too due to the fact that they are tied to his well-being and can come out during outbursts or moments involving high levels of stress, anger etc.
- his eyes used to be grey before everything happened, now they're extremely bright blue- he doesn't exactly hate it but it still catches him off guard to see them sometimes
- Most of his "hero" work isn't technically the stereotypical stuff a hero would normally do- but it's still very important that he does. He very often goes to protests and volunteers at places wherever he can. He doesn't consider this hero work either, just stuff he wants to do to help out where he can
- The man is an extrovert to his core, he literally will be making friends literally anywhere and half the time the rest of the egos are just like- "what the fuck???" Because none of them are extroverts.
- I think Jackie took a lot longer than Marvin to fall for them than they did. Mostly because mans got horrid issues regarding to letting people seeing him be vulnerable, and it's only when Marvin makes it extremely clear that they're safe to be around that he ends up slowly falling for them. He also admires how they don't particularly care about anyone else's opinions and values taking care of themselves over conforming into what any society says you should be.
-this ones pretty obvious but Jackie is 100% punk
- his day job is being a freelance artist and guitarist in a punk band. He also part times as a bartender (THE MANS IS BUSY AS SHIT.)
-he obviously mains as a guitarist but he does also know how to play bass and drums (he's had to step in for his other band mates occasionally)
THATS ALL FOR NOW!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK!! Please feel free to send in asks for headcanon lists I love seeing them!!

Saw this challenge floating around awhile ago and decided to do it finally. Ngl, sorta lowkey makes me sad a lot of future guards never use other animals very much. Its a complaint I got with Vitani's guard too, since kinda erases everything Kion and his team fought for with bringing in other animals. But thats not here or there I guess. Anyway, here's my version ~ Kirafiki and his siblings had some name changes. Kirafiki is now Shukuru [thank], Joshi is Taurai [talk or speak], Ikki is Bikkita though goes by Ikki for short [anteater] and Teleza is Sune [beautiful angel].
SHUKURU "Thank" - The Fiercest: Shukuru is the secondborn cub of Kiara and Kovu with his siblings Bikkita, Taurai, Sune, Shari and Kali. Shukuru was something of a rival to his brother Taurai and they butt heads often throughout their lives. He looks up to his grandfather Simba and idolizes his father Kovu. He was trained by Vitani and Kion for his role as the Leader of the Lion Guard. He is known to be very serious and has little interest in childish play, in fact, some say even childhood was too childish for him as a cub. He knows how to keep a cool head in tough situations and is rather emotionally constipated, struggling to express his true inner feelings and be vulnerable in the wake of losing his sister Sune. Shukuru has a strong sense of justice and hates seeing animals being wrongfully mistreated, he is strict in upholding the balance of the Circle of Life and vows to protect others in honor of Sune. 
AGULU "Fights like a lion" - The Bravest: Agulu is the adopted son of Kion and Fuli and the little brother of his foster sister Nazapa. Born outside both the PrideLands and Tree of Life, Agulu lived with his pack consisting of his parents, siblings and other kin. Stupid and brave to a fault, Agulu taunted a chimpanzee troop oneday and was viciously attacked. They slayed his pack when they tried to protect the pup and Agulu survived though was scarred horribly, losing a back leg in the process. Kion and Fuli found him and took him to Rafiki who saved his life in the nick of time. With no where to go, Agulu stayed with Kion, Fuli and Nazapa but struggled to adjust. Rather broody and grouchy at times, Agulu can be hard to trust others but when he does trust you, he is extremely loyal. He is a fighter and posesses vast courage in the defense of others however can hold grudges and come across as short tempered. He is also rather competitive and enjoys a good challenge.
TAIWO "First twin to taste the world" - The Strongest: Taiwo is the older twin sister born from a single egg, marking her and her younger sister Kehinde special in the eyes of her family. It was obvious to many watching the anaconda twins grow up that they had a rivalry, both proud of their power and strength and often competed over which sister was the strongest. They would do many things to prove it from hunting prey and battling competitors, the twins always came to a standstill as equals. Despite this, Kehinde and Taiwo had a very close bond and never parted ways angry at the other. Oneday, an arguement over who was strongest became out of hand and nothing could stop Kehinde and Taiwo from their fight. From dishing words to dishing blows, the sisters fought. Unfortantely for Kehinde, Taiwo saw red and in the heat of battle, suffocated Kihende to death.
Horrified, her family exiled Taiwo from their home and full of regret, she left without a fight. And without a fight she lived, vowing to never use her strength again... until one day she pondered ending it all on top of a large cliff overlooking the plains, where she then saw a group of animals get attacked by a pack of hyenas, and losing, too, and her thought to be gone courage and selflessness took over her instincts and rushed over to save these innocent animals from certain death. Shukuru and his friends were impressed by Taiwo's strength and invited her to join their team—the Lion Guard. Shocked by Shukuru's offer, Taiwo gave it some serious thought before deciding she would do it. Taiwo now attempts to atone for her sin by doing good in the Lion Guard and remembers to use her strength only in the name of protecting others. Taiwo is kind but quick to anger and very close and protective of those she is close to. After the death of her sister, Taiwo became much softer and peaceful despite her short temper. She is a good listener and willing to bear the burdens of her friends, as she understands how painful burdens came become and wishes to help ease their suffering. She is close to the members of the guard, thankful for their intervention into her life and finds Shukuru is only willing to let his walls down for her, leaving them with something of a special friendship. Taiwo doesn't like violence and tends to try avoiding it due to her trauma but when push comes to shove, she will do what she must to protect her friends and the PrideLands.
NAZAPA "Sacrifice" - The Fastest: Nazapa is the adopted daughter of Kion and Fuli and the big sister of her foster brother Agulu. Her mother came from a faraway land in search of a safe place to have her baby, tired of living in a harsh world where the future looked unkind for the life of her unborn child. A dama gazelle is a rare creature and with their numbers close to extinction, she felt the Tree of Life would be the sanctuary she and her little one sought, a safe haven for rare and sick animals in need of healing or a place to live in peace. However, Makucha, a leopard who loved rare and exotic things, caught wind of Nazapa's mother and chased after her. Right at the cusp of crossing into the safety of the Tree of Life, Nazapa's mother was brutually attacked and barely escaped with her life due to the sudden appearance of Kion and Fuli who'd heard her desperate cries for help. Despite fighting Makucha off, the damage was done and in the combination of the attack and labor, the mother gazelle died not long after bearing her calf. Begging Kion and Fuli to protect her baby, the pair agreed and took in Nazapa, having initially planned to find her a wetnurse to raise the calf before finding they couldn't let the baby go for they'd felt a parental love like no other for Nazapa. They knew it wouldn't be easy, predators raising prey? Who had ever heard of such a thing? They knew it could be done, after all, Simba had grown up with Timon and Pumbaa. 
She grew up close to her parents and the other residents of the Tree of Life, forging a bond with Princess Samra and the liger cub Khashi. So it was a sad time for Nazapa when Kion and Fuli decided the Tree of Life was no longer safe for Nazapa to grow up in the wake of the coming war with the tiger kingdom. With a heavy heart, they said goodbye to the Night Pride and made the long journey to the PrideLands; this time not to visit but to live peramantly. It was during this trip they discovered Agulu near the PrideLands and with time also welcomed him into their oddball family. Nazapa found companionship again with her cousins Bikkita, Shukuru, Taurai and Sune, eventually joining Shukuru's future Lion Guard as his Fastest. Despite being raised by predators, Nazapa finds herself not feeling strange by it, having known nothing else her entire life besides this. She sees things in a way prey and predator would never know, holding a respect only rare few have for the Circle of Life. Nazapa is known for her sweet and friendly disposition, not having a mean bone in her body. She is bubbly and happy-go-lucky, often bringing others out of their funks in the worst of times. She is paitient but sometimes come across as naive though has a wisdom many find perplexing.
ARAWAA "Moon" - The Keenest of Sight: Arawaa was born a rarity in her herd of normal, golden giraffes. The daughter of the herd leaders, she was taken as a bad omen. The only one of her kind, it made Arawaa the target of poachers who desired her rare snow white pelt. She grew up longing to look like the other giraffes, envious of their honey colored coats and often was bullied and ostracized for her unique looks. Arawaa's mother and father defended her from their scathing words the best they could but Arawaa knew they couldn't control what the herd thought and said. Oneday, during the night, a group of strange upwalking animals only known in legends as the Mgeni attacked. They kidnapped Arawaa from her herd and shoved her into a roaring monster that stank of strange fire. She struggled in her confines during the long journey that was full of abyse by her captors, chained up in a cage that slid to and fro. It gave her an idea and as the cage slid downward during the latest trip, Arawaa slammed against it with all her might and fell from the back of the Mgeni's monster into the ground. The fall broke open the cage and frantic, Arawaa ran as far and fast as she could before her captors could realize what had become of the young giraffe. 
During her quest, she collasped from hunger, exhaustion and her injuries, having been starved and mistreated by the Mgeni during her inprisonment. Arawaa awoke in a new place, one that also had Mgeni though these ones treated her kindly. They tended to her wounds and offered her food and water so she could heal. Arawaa stayed with these creatures for awhile until finally she was deemed strong enough for release. They put a strange tag in her ear and took her away from the wildlife reserve the Mgeni had. There were other animals there, ones Arawaa never saw again but promised her that they were in a good place. She'd given up finding her herd a long time ago and settled for traveling though kept her distance, still feeling like an outcast despite the new lands she'd seen. Arawaa eventually finds the PrideLands and befriends the Crown Princess Bikkita, having found companionship as she too struggled with fitting in with her pride due to her odd looks and disposition. In the process, she meets Shukuru and befriends him as well and with her height and watchful eyes, joins his Lion Guard as the Keenest of Sight. She and Taiwo become friends, bonding over their eyespots and Arawaa is often seen giving Taiwo rides around the PrideLands as the two girls hang out. Arawaa despite her upbringing can be very spunky, snarky and witty, often spewing one liners and jokes that take those who don't know her by surprise. Arawaa is contemplative, especially after the things she had seen that no other animal she'd met could understand, often curious about the world and philosophical. With how small her social circle is, Arawaa can come across as awkward. She is dutiful and vigilant, making her a good Keenest of Sight.

HELLO ALPHABET SOUP TIME!! WOOHOOO!! (answer as many/however u want 🧡)
A, E, J, K, Q, U, V, X, Z!!
and ima throw in a 6 and 13 and 22 just for no reason dnjksnfdsa!!
OC Alphabet Soup / Questions About Your Durge I ASSUME THE NUMBERS ARE FOR THE DURGE QUESTIONS???
Going under a cut for obvious reasons:
Tumblr media
A - Aodh'a Nbolo
One of my miqo'te boys! A kind of reserved, blunt, and grumpy conjurer who runs a clinic in Gridania where he treats people at little to no cost. He is a deeply caring person who is extremely bad at expressing himself and full of anxiety bees. Also has like four kids now (three he gave birth to, one he adopted as his own that's the daughter of his mate/partner by another mother) and the youngest two are twins and he is so tired all the fucking time for real.
E - Eyes
Not much to say because it's an OC I had when I was like 14 that I mostly just drew art of. I don't think there was anything I ever really like... did with him outside of that? He started with silver hair but I ended up making it bright blue later. I think he was blind maybe and the name was ironic??
J - Josef Hamilton
Dumb werewolf whose twin sister was a vampire, and he was pretty relentlessly cruel to her about that. Also just depraved bisexual vibes. I don't remember much beyond that about either of them, except that his sister was married to a rockstar AND had a girlfriend/wife (not legally married) and I think Josef was kind of pissed she got to be happy with her partners and their shared children.
K - Kaenea Dawnstar
Blood elf paladin I played for actual years. She was a war veteran involved in the Third War and the Northrend campaign, both of which profoundly scarred her emotionally as well as physically. She was a bit of a complicated mess determined to do the right thing in a world that... made that very difficult, a lot of the time. I love her.
Q, U - Nothing for these, unfortunately.
V - Vanessa Harley
Originally started as a Silent Hill OC with a split personality and got reworked. Her other personality just became her twin sister instead named Valerie. Vanessa is a violinist with a love of music and a quiet, soft personality contrasting with her twin's fiery passion. They also share a telepathic and empathic bond with one another. So that's neat.
X - None for this one either.
Z - Zion Tobias
Used to be a doctor, then he died and went to hell and became the side piece/personal manservant to Lucifer. Don't worry about how that works. I think he later got with a nurse if I recall? I dunno, he was. A guy.
AND NOW FOR THE DURGE QUESTIONS
6. How does your Dark Urge react to waking up with memory loss?
Jack wakes up with no memory and kind of not a lot of personality to start, which is eerie to the people he meets because he just seems so emotionally detached from everything around him. (He snaps out of it later and starts to kind of revert to some of his more benign tendencies pre-tadpole.) Overall he actually reacts quite calmly, but that's probably more to do with shock and the whole like... we're gunna crash if we don't do something about this ship crashing thing. Practicality.
He does spend a lot of time muttering "my name is Jack" to himself over and over again in some effort to like... make sure he doesn't lose the one piece of himself he remembers. This is also kind of weird to everyone he meets, before they realize what's up.
13. How does your Dark Urge feel about killing?
Pre-tadpole? He's good at it, but for him it's more practical and clinical than something he takes joy in. He kills for his father's approval, not because he enjoys the act of killing anyone. Post-tadpole, the ease with which he kills people (and doing while not in control of himself) is something that deeply frightens him, to the point that he actively avoids doing so if he doesn't have to.
22. What first impression does your Dark Urge give off to strangers?
"Sad wet cat man. Are we sure he's the Chosen of Bhaal? I mean look at him, he's got anxiety and he keeps clutching the pale one like a fucking freak."

All right! Here’s the first part of my Sam/Darlin/Quinn fic!
@dollscircus here you gooo ✨
If it’s confusing I’m sorry I tryed my best to put stuffs in the beginning I’m also working on a fic for when Darlin and Quinn where teens and it will provide more in depth context :3
Cw: talk of minor obsession, panic attack
With Quinn being invoked after he was turned, he never really learned how to be a vamp. Sure he knew how to use his powers and feed and all of that but he didn’t really learn himself. He learned through muscle memory really and his maker invoking him
So when he was finally freed years after his turning and made to forget all of it beside his turning, he thought he was freshly turned. So he just figured every vamp knew how to function directly after they turned.
One thing that he never learned how to do is how to heal his bites. He was never taught how to, even when invoked. His maker didn’t care about the scars so she didn’t teach him how to fix or prevent them. It just wasn’t worth her time.
When he was first turned she had invoked him for years she made him forget everything, this time she didn’t.
More like she didn’t get the chance, seeing how Tank ripped her head off her shoulders once they found out what was going on and they got their hands on her.
Tank and Sam had been very kind to him after everything. Quinn knew what he did to Sam's progeny well invoked, and was shocked when Sam offered him to stay at his house until everything was sorted out and he was able to get his own place. He was nervous about taking him up on the offer but eventually did when Tank also pushed for it.
Staying with Sam and Tank was really nice, both were kind to him and seemed not to hold a grudge. Staying with Tank again was extremely nice for Quinn as well, even if they now had a mate.
One other thing about Quinn that no one knew except for Tank and Sam was his obsessiveness. When Quinn loved he loved hard, and he loved Darlin. He had loved darlin for years before he was invoked the second time, and they loved him too.
Thats why their being mated to Sam upset him, he was happy that they were happy and he knew that Sam treated them well…. but that was supposed to be him.
He was supposed to be their mate, their forever, the person they slept next to at night. The person they turned to when they were upset or had a nightmare, but that was Sam's job now. He could live with that though, because he did an amazing job. He held them close and was never harsh with them, he was kind and supportive.
Well he was jealous he wouldn’t try and take that away from them, he would never try and take away or fracture something that made them happy. He was just grateful that he still got to be around them, he got to sit with them on the couch, cuddling while watching a movie, he got to cook with them again, he was content.
But of course just because they weren't his anymore doesn't mean his obsession wasn't there, he needed constant touch from them, he needed to know where they were and if they were safe. They happily provided that. He never encroached on their privacy of course, he just had a lot of worry.
Tank had explained Quinn’s feelings to Sam and he tried his best to understand. Well he never judged Quinn for it, it was obvious that he was a bit confused. Tank also warned him that Quinn gets scared fast, if they aren’t there when he wakes up and they are supposed to be he panics…..
There was a lot more worry when one day (night) he woke up and couldn't find Sam anywhere in the house even though he knew he was supposed to be the one with him today because Tank had gone over to Davids to help move things.
“Sam?” Quinn called out as he walked out of the guest room Sam had been letting him sleep in.
No response.
Complete silence.
“Sam?” He called out, louder, worrying lacing his voice.
Where was he?
Why couldn't Quinn hear him?
Why couldn't Sam hear him?
Was he ok?
Was he hurt?
Did someone hurt him?
“Sam?!” Quinn yelled as he dashed down the house, looking for Sam, for any signs that he was hurt or anything.
He doesn't see anything, nothing is out of place.
He wanted to go outside to look but he froze.
He wasn't supposed to leave the house with someone.
Tank and Sam said he wasn't supposed to.
He couldn't.
He couldn't go to against what they said.
Quinn felt his heart clench, did Sam leave him..
Did Sam get fed up with him and just leave..
He hated him
He hated quinn now
Quinn felt his throat close and his lungs tighten
He couldn't breath
He ran his hands through his hair desperately trying to calm down and rationalize but he couldn't.
He felt himself sink to the floor, his vision blurring
Sam walked back up to the house, he had gone out to grab a few more blood bags as Quinn slept. It wouldn't take him long so he figured it would be fine. As he heard the hyperventilating and crying coming from the house he knew he was wrong. He opened the door and saw Quinn curled on the ground.
He put the bags on the table and went over to him, “Quinn?”
No response
Tank had talked to Sam about Quinns panic attacks before so he had some idea what to do, that did not mean he was prepared.
“Hey,” he said, voice quiet and soft, “Quinn, I'm here it's alright,” He placed a hand on Quinns shoulder, causing Quinn's head to snap up, looking at Sam.
His eyes were red and tears streaming down his face, “Sam..?” he asked softly
“Hey there, it's all right, what's wro-” His question was cut off by Quinn slamming into him, pushing him to the floor as he wrapped his arms around him and bearing his face in his neck.
“You're ok,” he heard Quinn mumble as his tears soaked into Sam's shirt, “Thank god, I thought you were hurt or left me…”
Sam realized that his absence from the house is what triggered this and felt a twinge of guilt as he rubbed Quinns back, soothing him softly.
After a few minutes Quinn stopped crying and pulled back a bit, letting Sam sit up with him in his lap. He was still sniffling but no longer crying and his breathing was more even.
“What happened?” Sam asked bringing his hand up to cup Quinns face and thumbing away the last of the tears.
“Please don't hate me…” He said quietly, his eyes on the floor.
“Why would I hate you? You didn't do anythin’,” he said, pulling Quinns face up to look at him.
“I…I don't know..”
“Allrigh’ then, why don't you tell me what happened doll,” the nickname catching both of them off guard but before sam apologized for it Quinn smiled and nodded a bit.
Before he started to talk he rested his head on Sam's shoulder, “When I woke up I called for you, when you didn't respond I got scared that you were hurt or something so I came out here but didn't see anything out of place so I thought you just left me..” Quinn's voice was soft and sad as he talked.
“Oh I'm so sorry, I just went out to pick up some extra blood. I promise i didn't leave, and i won't i'm sorry for scarin’ you,” Sam said as quinn lifted his head again to look at him in the eye.
“It's ok, I don't know why I reacted like that…normally I only react like that with Tank and that cuz of my obses-...” Quinn's eyes widen as his voice trails off.
“Quinn? You allrigh’?”
“….umm ya I mean I am now but uh…”
Quinn looked at the floor again, he could feel his face heating, despite knowing that he really couldn’t blush it still felt like it.
“We’re gonna have to talk to Tank when they get home…”

Trauma Bonded
This is going to be a bit different than my other notes of these, but it feels better to explain it this way to me.
So, I kept seeing a lot of TCD!Scar art on Tumblr and it got me thinking a lot of thoughts about him and making an au with it. Somewhere along the way I thought about an older idea I had of Grian having a bit more trauma from Evo then I usually write, one with a bit more obvious/big effects. And I thought why not combine them in a unique way. Both Grian and Scar both have trauma from their pasts and some effects from them overlap.
Over time they slowly start noticing how the other reacts to something in an odd way, but nothing concrete. And then Scar comes across something that clearly shows that Grian has clear trauma from something, but Grian immediately shuts any conversation down. And then the inverse happens and Grian sees something that shows Scar’s trauma, where Scar gets defensive and throws Grian’s silence in his face (although he regrets being so blunt about it). The conversation is very tense but Scar does admit that he had a bad past, Grian agrees and it’s left as that.
After some time and some other indicators of their feelings over the past being similar, they start opening up more. It’s slow going but eventually they both know the other’s backstory. They also started going to each other (or calling the other) for help, which can entail anything from talking about it to just sitting in silence with another person. It does usually end up including cuddling to just feel the presence of someone else being there. They’re both a little touch starved from being in isolation for a long time, so it’s nice.
Now, onto the whole ambiguous Scarian/Desert Duo thing. Unlike most of my AUs, this one wasn’t made with romance in mind, it was definitely a more platonic thing. But after I left and returned to this AU I did want to turn it into a romantic thing, but it changes very little. I hadn’t written anything with it being a romance specific thing yet, but the idea of it was that they did eventually grow to like each other but hesitating to confess for a while. But when they do it’s a bit different, and just not extremely romantic. Everything that they did before is kept the same, it wasn’t meant to be romantic, it was meant to be to comfort and support each other. Kissing and things like it became their kind of romantic gestures, neither seeing cuddling as being that romantic. Honestly there needs to be more platonic cuddling out there and I really enjoy this AU having that. So, as it stands most things I write for this AU will be in the platonic vein of things, or just things they don’t see as romantic, dating or not. I might write a romantic scene at some point, but since I love this AU for Scar and Grian be there for each other when the other needs it, helping each other out, I will probably focus on the more platonic side of their relationship.
Aka this AU can fully be read in a platonic light but if you want to picture them as dating during any of it go ahead.
