Team Fortress 2 Kinktober Time Three: Return of the Kink
Day 12: Hands Under the Table (Public)
Tumblr media
🔞MINORS DNI🔞
Pairings: Sniper x Fem!Reader
Summary: You and Sniper have some fun in a conveniently isolated area of a bar
Tags: Public, dirty talk, fingering, denial, dom/sub, bars, beer (no intoxication), volume control
Word Count: 2.2k
The Masterlist
You gripped a bottle of beer in your hand, letting the condensation soak your palm. Cracking open the cap, you grimaced as it bubbled and dripped down the side before taking a tentative sip. Yup, just as disgusting as the last time you had tried beer. Why you felt the need to force yourself to adapt to this taste, you would never know.
Truthfully, it was probably for the same reason you agreed to come along to this bar in the first place- comradery. You wished your team could get a bit more imaginative with their post-victory celebrations. At the very least, they could buy some drinks and keep them back at the base, where you could at least have the convenience of retiring to your room when things became overwhelming.
Scanning the bar, your eyes fell on Sniper, who had been keeping a booth to himself for most of the night. A bowl of chips in the center of the table remained untouched, and his hat was pulled low over his eyes, as if he simply wanted to fall asleep and be woken up when this was over. Sensing a possible kindred spirit, you approached him.
“I’m surprised you agreed to come,” you said, looking down at Sniper, now seeing that he was also nursing a beer. You wondered if he actually liked the stuff or if he was just faking it like you. Maybe everyone was faking it. Maybe beer was just a grand conspiracy.
Sniper scoffed. “Well, I was practically dragged out of my van to join in.” He nodded towards Scout, who was currently trying to chat up various girls on the small dance floor. It figured that the runner would be the one to pry Sniper out of his self imposed isolation. He was one of the only mercs stubborn and persistent enough to do so. You watched him strut over to the blaring jukebox, leaning against it as if it made him seem cool. You wondered how long it would take for him to put
at least five repetitions of the same Tom Jones song into that thing.
You really didn’t want to be negative. It was a nice bar, nicer than the kind you would usually go to. There was even a small stage for live music, although it was currently empty. After such a long streak of wins, the team had decided to splurge a bit. Yet, you ultimately couldn’t seem to get into the spirit of things.
“I take it you’re having about as much fun as I am?” you asked, your voice oozing sarcasm.
Honestly, you did not enjoy going out. Bars of any kind tended to be loud, crowded, and chaotic. You would much rather celebrate with a night in and some greasy take out. Spy wouldn’t be having that though, with his greater than thou attitude towards American food. Although, based on the way he was sequestered in his own personal corner as well, it seemed this wasn’t very much to his taste either.
“At least most of us seem to be enjoying themselves,” you sighed. Although, as you and Sniper looked out over the crowd, it became clear that some individuals may have been enjoying themselves a bit too much.
Demoman probably wouldn’t be much of an issue. You were almost certain that he was immune to hangovers at this point. The others were another story though. You had a feeling that the few sober ones among you would have to guide them back to the base by the end of the night, and help nurse them back to health in the morning. Why the Medigun wasn’t effective on hangovers, you would never know.
You tried to match Sniper’s laid back demeanor, casually sipping your own beer. However, you couldn’t hide the cringe on your face as you swallowed it down.
“Darling,” Sniper chuckled, watching you try and fail to ignore the taste of cheap booze. “If you don’t like it, why are you drinking it?”
You shrugged, giving a defeated sigh. “I guess I thought if I got drunk enough, this night would seem more entertaining.” You swirled the contents of the beer bottle, only a third empty. “But with how long it’s been taking me to force down sips of this cheap shit, I’m probably not even buzzed.”
Sniper chuckled. You set the bottle down beside him, admitting defeat. He took a swig from it only to find that the drink had long since gone flat. “I might have a way to make the evening more enjoyable, if you’d like,” he suggested, returning to nursing his own beer.
“I’m not dancing,” you quickly said.
“Oh, I wouldn’t dream of it,” Sniper said, glancing towards the dance floor where Scout was once again trying to seduce girls with his rendition of some kind of indescribable dance- like a cross between the Charleston and a baby giraffe trying to walk for the first time. You were almost envious of his alcohol fueled confidence. “Just have a seat next to me, doll.”
He patted the booth beside him. You were confused, but also intrigued, sitting down and sidling up next to him with a playful smirk. He quickly reciprocated with an arm draped over your shoulders, pulling you close. You were a bit embarrassed by the school girl-like giggle that escaped you as you rested your head on his shoulder.
Sniper’s lips grazed your ear, making you shiver, only for his next words to make you freeze up. “Don’t make a scene.”
“Wh-” You couldn’t even get a full word out before Sniper’s free hand reached over, unbuttoning your fly and slipping his hand into your pants. You bit your lip to keep yourself from gasping. “Oh my God, Sniper!” you whispered harshly. “What the hell are you doing?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” he asked as he began to move his fingers, still over your underwear. Even so, it still sent jolts of pleasure through you that made your thighs quiver slightly. “We’ve discussed this, doll. Remember how hot it made you, the thought of me working you over with my fingers in the corner of a crowded room?”
Recalling the conversation made you blush. “Yeah, I remember,” you whispered, thinking back to the night you and Sniper had swapped fantasies over pillow talk. “I just didn’t expect it to be happening now.”
“Well, I believe a key part of that little fantasy was the element of surprise,” Sniper said. “You didn’t want to know when I might spring it on you.” He paused suddenly, his smirk wavering. “Of course, if you aren’t up for this now, we can stop-”
“No, no! I am!” You cringed, lowering your voice and glancing around to make sure no one had noticed your outburst. It appeared that the din of the crowd had effectively drowned you out. “That is, I am very much up for this.”
Sniper nodded, turning his gaze away from you. He sipped his beer, holding the bottle with his free hand while the one down your pants began to rub ever so slowly. Your face flushed scarlet and you bit your lower lip to keep any noises from escaping. Your adrenaline was running high, heightening every sensation. Even being touched through your underwear like this felt incredible.
“Please,” you stammered. “Keep going.”
“Of course, darling.”
Your underwear was pulled to the side, and you shuddered as you felt Sniper's fingers drag along your cunt, coating the digits with your arousal. It didn’t take much effort for him to work a couple fingers into you within a few minutes. You hooked a leg over his thigh, trying to spread your legs in a way that wasn’t too conspicuous. He allowed it, rubbing his free hand over your thigh for a moment. His palm was cold from the chill of the beer, causing goosebumps to erupt over your skin.
The hum of the crowd seemed to fade into the background as Sniper began to pump his fingers faster. He kept switching it up, swapping between thrusting into you and circling your clit, keeping you on your toes, yet always bringing you closer and closer to the edge until the sensation of building, tightening pleasure was at the forefront of your mind, eclipsing everything else.
You didn’t trust yourself to speak. You didn’t even trust yourself to look out into the crowded bar, fearing that something in your expression would give you away. Still, you had to try to say something, to warn Sniper that you were close.
“Mundy,” you whimpered. “I’m going to-”
“Not yet.”
Your body immediately stiffened. “No, no, no! Don’t be mean, Mundy! I can’t- oh fuck!” Your plea for mercy dissolved on your lips. You kept a white knuckled grip on the table in front of you, scowling down at it like it had personally offended you. It was all you could do to keep your eyes from rolling back.
“Darling, keep it together,” Sniper whispered, although through clenched teeth, it sounded more akin to a growl. “Or else I’ll have to punish you later.”
You frowned, barely keeping the moan out of your voice as you responded with a tense and curt “Fine.”
“And I'll Ignore your attitude, just this once.”
Damn it, he always needed to have the last word. You clamped a hand over your mouth, gluing your eyes to the table. Sniper’s fingers curled inside you, stroking gently and rhythmically. It was all you could do to keep yourself from arching back against the booth.
Sniper downed the rest of his beer. Glancing down, he saw the way your thighs were trembling, even though you were seated. It was quite an alluring sight, and Sniper couldn’t help but get enraptured in it, imagining being inside you, pinning you down somewhere private, and making all those pretty sounds spill freely from your lips. He shook his head, putting those thoughts out of his mind for now, lest he be forced to hold his own hat suspiciously in front of his crotch for the rest of the night.
“You’re pulsing around my fingers. You’re so close you can taste it, aren’t you?” He whispered. You nodded, barely looking up at him, a whimper just barely escaping past your hand. “You’re about to come in front of all these people who don’t have a clue what’s going on right under their noses.” Sniper pressed his fingers firmly against your sweet spot, making you jolt.
“Mundy,” you groaned his name softly, leaning against him. To anyone who glanced over, it would look like you had just overindulged on alcohol. Your flushed face only served to sell the facade even more. It was the perfect cover, really. Still, you would rather not get caught, even though the risk thrilled you in its own unique way. “Mundy, please!”
“It’s alright, doll. You can come, as long as you think you can stay quiet.”
His permission was like a trigger being pulled. Trying not to writhe as your orgasm ripped through you was a struggle, but you managed, hunching over the table and resting your forehead on the cool hard wood. Keeping quiet was a bit more difficult, but luckily the music was loud and the bar denizens were even louder, so the few moans that escaped you went unnoticed.
You stayed with your head on the table for a while, panting, letting out a soft groan when Sniper withdrew his fingers. He was stone faced, simply looking out over the bar as if nothing had transpired. It was only when you sat up that he glanced over at you, giving you a smirk that made your heart flutter. Between the ambient light of the bar and the post orgasmic haze, he looked handsome as hell. You wanted to lean up and kiss him before you could say something embarrassingly sappy.
Sniper broke the silence before you could. “I have a feeling the rest of the team isn’t going to be in any shape to walk back to base tonight.” He nodded towards the dancefloor, where you were certain at least half of your fellow mercenaries were currently making asses of themselves. However, you couldn’t be bothered to look. You didn’t want to tear your gaze away from Sniper. “How about we head back and grab my van so that they can have a ride? Hell, there might even be just enough time to give you a little reward for being such a good girl.”
An enthusiastic grin spread across your face. “I would like that,” you said, standing up quickly. A bit too quickly, apparently, as you staggered within your first step. Thankfully Sniper was at your side in an instant, linking your arms together to keep you steady. He had half a mind to scoop you up and simply carry you out of the bar.
As he guided you towards the exit on shaky legs, he caught the eyes of another patron. They were supporting the weight of their own very intoxicated partner, who was singing- or rather, shouting- the lyrics to whatever song played from the jukebox unintelligibly as they stumbled along. They gave the two of you a sympathetic look, and Sniper suppressed the smirk that threatened to creep onto his face. If only they knew.

Ok, first of all I have to say that I love your art style, it's just so comforting idk how to explain it but it's really really really nice

- they are both autistic (i infected them /j)
- my jay is transmasc ! (cole too sometimes depending on how i feel)
- they dont rly do petnames only like mean nicknames that are said with very much love and affection (like dummy stink fartface yk…)
- i feel like they do everything together like train play video game even when theyre doing separate things theyre tgt… like its always cole AND jay and never just them seperate… always team up for missions and everything… when they arent together the others will go wheres your other half haha stuff like that also they bicker all the timr and never say anything to each other but when the other isnt around they always talk so fondly about each otjer and 😭😭 it makes me wanna puke /pos
- they have very different music tastes (i hc jay listens to kpop and cole to 80s rock & new wave) and theyll always talk about how bad the others music taste is but secretly they actually like it… (jays kpop playlist got a save once and he was trying to figure out who it was and cole was like whoever it is has the worst music taste in the world) (it was cole who saved it) (also vice versa)
- they play every game and watch every show together and when one of them starts something without the other they get offended 😭😭
- speaking of watching cole cant handle anything scary at all but sometimes jay will somehow convince him to and always puts on the scariest stuff because he thinks its cute when cole jumps 😭
- jay still sleeps with his plushies so when they cuddle jay is spooning his plush and cole is spooning him and sometimes cole lays on jays chest
- they playfight and wrestle a lot and sometimes get seriously hurt while doing it
- they play dancing games tgt… like just dance and ddr
- also i think jay deffo dances to stim (totally not self projecting here) and his dance moves are always a bit silly so cole will copy them and jay is like are my making fun of me >:( and cole is like yeah maybe i am
- on the topic of stims they deffo mimic each other a whole lot in the sense theyll copy each others vocal stims and it annoys the hell out of everyone else because theyll say the same silly phrase over and over again for weeks 😭😭
- i also hc them both as chronically ill (jay is hypermobile and cole has arthritis) and sometimes after especially hard training days they will give each other back rubs/massages…
- they arealso borh very smart separately but when you put them together they become super stupid and lose all their brain cells
UMM okay this is kinda long so ill leave it here i have like a million more but id sit here forever writing them so 😭😭😭 once again im rly happy for ur question im kind of obsessed with them if u cant tell but um yea… enough yapping from me… adios..

get to know me ask game
Tagged by @lurkingshan and @thegalwhorants and @pandasmagorica this seems so fun!
@pandasmagorica pointed out in their post that bolding the text doesn't allow differentiation for people using screen readers and so added modifier words so that the text made sense when read out loud.
@thegalwhorants coloured hers, presumably just for fun and I liked it? I have been politely informed this makes it hard for some people to read so I took out the colours :)
And @lurkingshan added occasional info in small text in brackets. I have chosen to do all of these things.
RULES: bold the ones that are true & tag 10 people to do it.

AESTHETICS
I have heard the ocean in a conch shell // I have watched the sun rise // I enjoy rainy days // I have slept under the stars // I do not meditate outside // the sound of chirping calms me (though it depends on the bird) // I enjoy the smell of the beach // I don't know what snow tastes like (I don't even know what it looks like in person) // I listen to music to fall asleep (as a last resort) // I enjoy thunderstorms // I enjoy cloud watching // I have attended a bonfire (so so many) // I do not pay close attention to colours (though I'm trying to learn to) // I find mystery in the ocean // I enjoy hiking on nature paths // autumn is my favorite season (In Aus this is March through May)

Vogue Part 2
Part 1 below
a/n Here is finally part 2 to this series. Part 3 will be up very shortly. I just need to figure out exactly where I want this story to go. If you have any suggestions or requests let me know. I an trying to build some suspense between the characters that is why I will be dividing this story into many parts. Trust me it will be worth it! I hope you enjoy!
Summary : you work at Vogue and Harry happens to be just as big of a fan of you as you are of him.
He looked at you completely shocked. “What are you doing after this?”
His straightforward question caught you by surprise and You laughed to yourself. “Well that depends on how the interview goes and then we will see” You say smirking
“I think it has a great fucking start, you just named my favorite books. I would actually love to take you out after this, what people read says so much about them in my opinion” he said genuinely looking at you which made you feel like you are the only girl in the world. You don’t think anyone has ever looked at you that way.
“How about we start with the interview Harry?” You said, not reacting to his comment because you have to get your work done and you need to keep him hanging a little, just for fun. Girls that are hard to get are always more fun.
“Of course love, let’s start” he said smiling with his dimples popping out.
“Firstly I must say that your two albums are big favorites of mine. I love the mixture of all kinds of music genres you used. Do you have any musicians or specific songs that you took inspiration from?”
“Well.. I grew up listening to everything, I love music from the 60s, 70s like.. I am a huge fan of Bowie, Prince, Freddie Mercury, Mick Jagger, the classics. I also love the Beatles and Fleetwood Mac. I am actually very good friends with Stevie Nicks and she definitely inspires me daily.” He says slowly with a deep voice.
“I can actually hear that in your music, I hear some Prince in the Sign of the times. These are incredible people to be inspired by. Do you have any specific songs you prefer from your albums?
“I would have to say Kiwi from my first album becuase performing it is probably my favorite part of touring. I will play it even 3 times at the end of concerts because the atmosphere in the stadium when this song plays is indescribable. I also love Cherry, from my second album because it has a deep meaning for me and I get quite emotional when performing it.”
“Like you cry in a cool way right?” you said showing an obvious smirk
“Ohh, I see someone has watched my videos” he said smiling a big genuine smile showing his perfect teeth
“Well I had to do a background check, I do it before all of my interviews so don’t flatter yourself too much” you said teasingly.
You continued “Well everyone knows that you have extreme success in the music industry but you have taken up acting as well. The new Eternals movie just came out a couple months ago, how does it feel to be a part of Marvel?”
“It was a huge shock for me at first, I think everyone grew up reading or watching Marvel and to be asked to be a part of it was such an honor, even if I was just in the post credit scenes so far.”
“You also have two new movies coming out this year, how has it been filming them and how is it different from being a performer?”
“Well, I have had a great time filming, it is obviously so different than what I am used to but I like it in the sense that it is not as personal, it actually isn’t personal at all, I don’t have to put myself out there like I usually do through music. It is do different and I thoroughly enjoy it. Especially filming my policeman because I read the book and I absolutely loved the story. I am very lucky to be apart of such an amazing storyline. I am assuming you read the book as well, considering your exquisite taste” he said biting his lip looking at you.
“I have actually and they did an amazing job casting you, I couldn’t picture anyone else playing the part. We have only seen your acting once before, in Dunkirk, which was fantastic, the movie had an incredible cast and showed the events taken place in Dunkirk in a completely different light. How did you get into acting in the first place?
“I like to challenge myself and do something different and movies are definitely where I feel most out of my comfort zone. I’m coming from music where I don’t think anyone really knows how it works, but I am somewhat in my comfort zone. It started as a challenge and now I feel amazing doing it. he said still looking deeply into your eyes.
Those damn green eyes, you said to myself, and that beautiful contagious smile. He really is something.
The interview went on for another hour and a half. You talked about everything possible. His fashion choices, what they mean to him. How he has changed throughout the 12 years. You talked about One direction, Zayn, who he is still in contact with. What he does in his free time. His childhood and how dealing with grief has affected his music. You ended up talking about things you knew wasn’t going to be put in the interview, it was just so refreshing to have a real conversation with him.
After the hour you ended the interview with one last question.
“This has been really insightful Harry, we have arrived to the end of the interview and I have one last question for you. Is there ever going to be a One Direction reunion?” You said laughing because honestly that is the only thing anyone cares about
He laughed as well saying “ Well, maybe one day. I can’t make any promises but I do miss my boys. I just think all of us are in different places, doing different things that make each of us really happy and I’m really proud of them. I think we have all accomplished so much on our own.”
You wanted to cry a little but kept your shit together because you are a professional. You grew up listening to One Direction so hearing what he just said meant a lot.
“That was great, thank you so much” you said looking at him with a sweet smile
“So tell me Y/N, did I make a good impression? Can I take you out?” He said smiling. It felt like the only thing you did during this interview was smile at each other.
“I have to say, this was actually great, I think this article will make your fans very happy. I do have some time but I have to go to a party at 9” you said looking down at your watch realizing it it already 5 o’clock.
“A party? On a Tuesday ? That seems pretty wild” he said with his eyebrows raised
“It’s my friends birthday and I don’t drink as much anymore. I had my fun when I was younger but I am way more responsible now” you said honestly, knowing you will probably have a couple glasses of wine and leave sober.. or just a little tipsy.
You ended up leaving the room, where the interview took place. You talked the whole way down and he excused himself to let everyone know he will be leaving now. Saying goodbye to every person in the building, thanking everyone for their time and hard work. He then told you he just has to find his manager, Jeff, to let him know he is leaving and that he will meet you outside.
You said goodbye to your friend Vanessa and told her you will call her later because she wanted to know all the details. You stepped outside to light a cigarette. You kept thinking to yourself how smooth that interview went, you couldn’t wait to form it into words that will be entertaining to read and create a piece that will inspire and that his fans will love. As you were thinking to yourself Harry walks out.
“I am assuming that vintage mustang is yours, am I right?” He said looking at your sick ass car.
“You definitely are. Has been my baby for 2 years now. I’m assuming the vintage Mercedes is yours, considering we both have good taste in books and clothing.”
“Yes it is, love. I adore old cars, they suit me better. How about we take your car and I will have Jeff drive mine back to my place. I haven’t been in a mustang for months, I miss it.”
“Sounds perfect, let me just finish my cigarette and we can get going” you said taking another drag.
“I didn’t realize you smoke” he said looking at you so neutrally, you couldn’t tell if he was disgusted or wanted one too.
“Oh yeah, it’s a filthy habit I can’t seem to shake off. I think I romanticize it too much in my head. If it bothers you I can put it out.” You said, genuinely concerned if it bothers him, because you don’t like to smoke in front of people who hate the smell.
“No, I actually quite like the smell. My ex-girlfriend used to smoke so i got used to it and I grew quite fond of it.” He said with a hint of sadness in his voice.
“Yeah I have it the same. I started to smoke with my ex and while he left, the bad habit stayed.” You said, realizing you are getting way to personal with him and knew you had the change the subject fast.
“So anywayy, where would you like to go. I am honestly starving, plus it would be a good idea to get some food in me before going out drinking” you said trying to convert the conversation into something else.
“Of course, love, where would you like to go?” He said putting his hand on your lower back.
“How about you surprise me” you said while putting your cigarette out and handing him your car keys.
You continued. “Let’s see how well you are with old cars.” You said biting your lip, showing him to your car.
“A girl that will let me choose where to eat and let me drive her car. You definitely are a special one.” He said with a smile showing his evident excitement.

[JUMPS IN YOUR INBOX] YOU! KEEP TALKING.
Saw your analysis post information Marble Sky and was incredibly intrigued by how well you connected details in the story. I hadn't caught the detail of Holly presumably being an incredibly important member of his species because of his addition to The Vault. That's a very nice catch. Additionally, I do think you're right about the Vault's function being long-term preservation rather than a holding place for people about to be killed. Holly's obviously been there long enough to put down literal roots and has been onserved to be peaceful enough that Ward was placed with him for co-habitation.
Not only does that imply that Sculptors cares about his subjects not killing each other, but he also has found through rooting around in Ward's brain that humans are social creatures and need social interaction to maintain vitality. If he has plans to kill Ward, it wouldn't make sense for him to place him with another inmate, giving him a "roomie" suggests that he plans to keep Ward long-term, and in fair mental condition. The same applies to Holly as well. Nobodies stopped him from growing plants in the Vault, despite him obviously being captured and under surveillance. If we're to assume that proximjty to vegetation is important for teegardians (tbh its important for humans too, but I digress) then it can be assumed that they're trying to keep him sane as well. Not for anything good, mind you, but it implies Sculptor isn't a "mad" scientist but rather a thorough and clinically practical one.
I have Thoughts about other aspects of your analysis (positive ones prommy) but this ask is very long. Anyway A+ analysis you forced me to overcome social anxiety to brain dump in your inbox haha
Thank you♡♡♡♡♡
I love when a scientist who's Objectively A Bad Guy is also Objectively A Good Scientist, it makes everything feel so tactile, if that's the way to describe it. "Some of you will die be horrifically traumatized and violated by weird information scraping biotech. But that is a sacrifice I am willing to make."
There seems to be established protocols around the situation with the humans. 'We found a primitive spacecraft with creatures inside.' 'The edible kind?' Ward says he feels like they're being watched. Ecliptica warns Alcor not to bite Oscar because he doesn't know where he's been. These Are Very Organized People, and because we the audience are more inclined to lean into Oscar's POV than Ward's on account of wanting to see Oscar successfully woo this big scary alien, we don't notice how Fucking Terrifying That Organization Is. An organization facilitated by Sculptor's deeply unethical science because final leadership defaults to Ecliptica due to her being the biggest and strongest.
Like. Like the Echolocators a curious species, but in a universe where they are some of the most dangerous things in space, so everyone, especially high ranking officials like Sculptor and Ecliptica, just confidently takes what they want. The hierarchy within their own colony is functionally the only thing that gives any of them pause. When Ecliptica is testing how far Oscar's trust in her not being a danger to him goes, Alcor fearfully scurries out of his arms because 'Oh shit, the moon is getting up in my space, I gotta get out of here.' and he looks on anxiously as she picks Oscar up because Oscar is his fun big dude who tastes like a great snack when he bites him and has this cool music stuff in his headphones. It's perfectly fine for Alcor to crawl all over and cling to Oscar, but suddenly Oscar is up close and personal with the most dangerous thing in Alcor's life and he just stands next to Ward anxiously flicking his tail around.
I have an idea mostly based around uhhh nothing I guess that it's not that female Echolocators are rare or anything, it's that they're Extremely Territorial and very likely to fucking Kill one another.

I’m curious what’re your thoughts of genix or the sk poly (Sasha/Zenix/Gene)?
Okay so it kinda depends for me, in mystreet i can see it definitely working, in MCD it feels a bit more muddied.
(Also I don’t know a lot about Zenix and Sasha yet but I am slowly trying to understand their characters a bit more)
I think for mystreet it’s definitely a fun ship!! Outcasts sticking together and kinda feeling like a more than friends not quite lovers situation, so important to eachother you can’t think of spending a week hanging out with anyone else but also feels a bit odd calling them your partner. !! All the emo kids with their own band being together makes total sense for me- and like I have very vivid images of them lazing around, hotboxing someone’s room while some music is blasting and they’re just enjoying eachother’s company. Being the school bullies/tyrants really does form naturally strong bonds imo. And seeing how Sasha said in pdh they skipped classes because of how shit the school system was, I think they also bond with anger (SK trait). Nobody really seems upset with the way things are like them so, for the most part, I think their general views align as well so it makes them flow better. ^^ maybe not good when they’re out having a rager or something and you’re forced to accompany them but if it’s easy to have a fun time with them I think. So yea as a poly ship I think they work (tho for now my mind identifies them as rabid dog, Hot Dom gf, and manipulative manwhore, until I think more about them as individuals )
MCD gets a bit weird for me with the memory manipulation by Gene onto Sasha (and the lack of explanation for why Zenix forgets he’s a SK and then remembers and goes berserk I think, even tho I’m the og they said they never wiped his memory). Personally I could see more Sasha and gene stuff happening with her altered memories and general skewed hatred for those who “abandoned” her but it leaves kind of a sour taste in my mouth thinking about it. I haven’t gotten too far into s2 or s3 yet in my rewatch so I don’t know how the dynamics are for them but I’ll probably watch some more on my own later to get a grasp on them :3
But also with slowed time in the nether i can just … see shit happening

Hi~ I was wondering if I could maybe possibly get a one piece and/or HxH match up? 👉👈
I like both women and men (though I’d like to avoid being pared with super young characters like gon/killua) and I myself am genderfluid. My personality type is ENFP and I’m ambivert! I’m a very kind caring person and I love kids and animals! I enjoy games a lot whether they be card games or board games or more sporty games like tennis and fencing! I love crafting and am an artist and I love all mediums including drawing, painting, sewing, and sculpting. I also love cooking and baking for people I love! Having loved ones enjoy my food makes me very happy as well as gifting art that I’ve made for them. One issue though is that I lack self confidence and am extremely insecure so I need someone who is willing to baby me at times. I’m plus sized which doesn’t help my insecurities, but I use things like fun alternative fashions and makeup to make me feel more comfortable in my own skin. I love to cuddle and am a very openly affectionate person. I listen to pretty much every kind of music from opera to metal and everything in between! I’m a very duel sided person as I love frilly cute pastel things like lolita fashion and stuffed animals but at the same time I love macabre things like taxidermy and horror media! Overall I love to try new things and learn about different interests other may have! Thank you so much and I hope this description was good enough!!
Tumblr media
Hi there! Thank you for requesting!! You sound like such a cool person!! I'll do both hxh and one piece. And do one boy and one girl! Have a good day ♥︎♥︎♥︎
Tumblr media
I think you belong with.....
Drum roll!!! 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Robin!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think she would just adore you!!! :D
Robin would find it adorable how you like kids and animals so much. She can't help but smile when seeing you get all excited when seeing one. She finds your almost "parental" like personality with them cute.
She would definitely enjoy a good card game with you also. She looks like the type to be VERY good at poker.
She would like to just watch you as you paint/draw. She enjoys spending quality time with you even if it's silent while you draw and she reads. It brings her a sense of comfort.
When you gift her your art it makes her absolutely crazy! She might keep a calm expression but on the inside she is flipping out! And if you gift her something like a book mark you painted..... It's over. She's passed away. She absolutely LOVES IT.
Every little gift you give her she will cherish. Definitely had a shelf/chest filled with everything. And she makes sure to dust it and keep it clean if it's a sculpture.
Would love to taste your food. She seems like the type to secretly have a sweet tooth.
She loves how you just learn and pick up all these different activities. How you're so full of ambition to try new things!
And she would just not understand how you lack self confidence. Like she would be utterly confused. She can't get it into her mind how you feel this way. It just doesn't make sense to her cause to her.... You're perfect!
She would definitely give you all the reassurance you need. Robin is the type of person that just throws whatever on. She could care less. But she would love to just sit on yalls bed and watch your little fashion shows you do for her when trying to find a outfit or showing her your makeup. She would do a little clap when you find the perfect outfit. Even though she thinks you look good in anything.
She would like how affectionate and "clingy" you are. Would hold your hand or let you rest your head on her lap while she reads. Her favorite cuddling position is when y'all lay on yalls sides, facing each other. And you rest your head on her chest. She likes holding you!
I think y'all would be perfect for each other cause robin on one hand is very fem and dresses in cute outfits! Has a very "girly" side but also this mysterious dark side to her. (If that makes sense....)
I could see her taking you to both a cute hello kitty cafe or like a museum. Or a zoo! Any place to roam around and learn!
Phinks!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Phinks is not talked about a tone! A bunch of people think he is mean but on hxh's page it says that phinks has a kind and loyal heart! And I believe that! And that's why I think he would be perfect for you!
Phinks would like the way you're always up for a challenge when trying something new. The way you want to learn and take on new things is one of the many reasons he was drawn to you.
Phinks definitely has a soft spot for animals. He has a soft spot in general. And even though he tries to hide it. Having this tough guy act always on. He always had a soft spot for you. He is the type to switch up like. "Yeah what's up dawg" to "Hi baby how was your day? :D" when talking to his friends compared to you.
You bring out a side in him that no one else can. Cause you make his heart melt! (Is that cringe? Idk. Oh well)
He is always down for a game of cards too. Little off topic but he gives off big gambling addict vibes 💀
Just like robin he loves to watch you work. Watching you draw/paint is like watching one of those satisfying video compilations on YouTube. Always pops in while you're working to bug you saying "watcha doingggg?"
Would grab your art and look at it while noding acting like he's a professional artist or something. Like. "Yes yes. Very interesting. I like what you did with the swirl right here it really makes it pop!"
When you give him your art work he definitely brings it to show the troop and brags about it.
And when you bake for him?!??? He's in love. Makes him melt. Like if you pack his lunch or something while he has a troop meeting he will once again show it to everyone and when they say that looks good and asks for some. He immediately gets defensive. Will literally fight anyone that gets near it.
The troop definitely likes you also. Especially your baking. Would always as phinks to ask you if you would make cookies for them or something.
Phinks would just absolutely love your body. Theirs no other way to say it! He looks like the type of guy to want a plus size partner.
Would mess with your makeup stuff while asking questions. Will pick up like a eyelash curler and immediately start asking millions of questions. Would probably think it's a large toe nail clippers or something 💀
Also just like robin phinks is quick to get ready. He doesn’t care how he looks. And he doesn’t care how you look either cause he finds you hot with whatever on. But if you get a new outfit or something he would definitely show you off
He absolutely loves showing you off like the treasure you are. Would treat you like a delicate piece of art. Would make you do a little spin in your cute outfit when you’re finally ready.
Home boy would praise the ground you walk on. Their is no room for insecurities with this man. Cause he just adores you.
And cuddling? LOVES. HE LOVES IT. Makes him so happy when you ask to cuddle. Would probably full on dive on top of you into bed if he sees you laying down. Cause he just loves a good hug.
Any position. He don’t care. But I think he would like laying on your stomach with him inbetween your legs while you’re on your back or like the position I mentioned earlier with robin except he is the one laying on your chest.
He would probably be very clingy. Your personal space is his.
I can imagine phinks listening to that bimbo (I’m not saying your a bimbo!) music and just absolutely vibing. Definitely a Forced too: wsg fam. Born to: Haii! >_<
I hope that makes sense. Cause I made myself laugh very hard imagining that.
He dig your cute pink side and your sorta horror creepy side.
And you best believe you never buying yourself something ever again m. He would absolutely SPOIL you. Wether he would pay for it or steal it!
Phinks with a pastel, pink, cute, Lolita s/o just sounds so cute and funny. Cause it like polar opposites.
Definitely the type to be protective over you when out in public or something. Always has your back. And will throw hands for his bay💪
I’m gonna link a guys TikTok below that reminds me a bunch of how I think phinks would act with.
His @ is: latinaluvr
He’s such a funny and cool guy. Def go check him out.

I know I just wrote an essay but I really don't want to do my work and I have a serious urge to keep writing words. So I'm going to talk about the TLOU Part One Prologue. The game, not the show.
I love TLOU Part One for many reasons. First of which, Sarah. She is the first character you play as--the first character you see the world as. And she was real charming. Precious as could be, she had a fun dynamic with Joel. They shared a sense of humor and apparently a sense of adventure (they hiked together). I always liked when kids in media weren't all sunshine and rainbows. Of course, not all kids are edgy, but they often are snarky, rude by mistake, or just a bit prickly. They absorb their surroundings and if you're snarky with your kid, they're often snarky with you. Not that I would know, as I am not a parent and never plan to be.
But anyway, I love what we see of their life. It's not the most ideal--Joel is seemingly not home as often as he should be, complains about her taste in music and movies, and lets her wear necklaces to sleep. I know that be hurting her neck when she wakes up. What's important, though, is that his absence is not for lack of trying. He is a single parent who is working to pay off their house, and seems to enjoy the time he does spend with his daughter. He shows up to her soccer games, goes out to see her movies (not without complaint), and clearly can't imagine a life without her. When he does stay out late, he gives her a heads-up. All this separates Joel from other parents I would consider deadbeats.
This will come up again later, but another thing I want to highlight is how Joel shows gratitude. When Sarah hands him the watch, he acknowledges it in a roundabout way, choosing to question how she managed to pull it off--it's an impressive feat to purchase something so expensive. When paying compliments/displaying gratitude, Joel always chooses to praise talent instead of getting sentimental.
Now let's move on to Joel's entrance later on in the prologue. After he shoots the hostile Cooper, he makes sure to level with Sarah so that she is on the same page. He understands that she's traumatized, and so is he, but they share a mutual understanding that their top priority is to keep pushing forward.
Brief point about Tommy: I love how he's shown to be more sensitive than Joel. He can't help himself when talking about the horrible things he's heard, and completely shuts down when he watches a runner brutalize the guy who got out of his car. It's a nice contrast.
And now it's time to play as Joel. Joel carrying Sarah as the hoarde grows closer, after Tommy sacrifices himself just for them to get ahead, there is a sliver of hope. And it's stolen away once a soldier attacks the child with his rifle.
Sarah lingers for a little while, suffering due to some idiot's actions as her family watches in horror.
Joel lost someone despite his best efforts to protect them, and this is a moment that would significantly shape his mindset.

Hello! I just found upon your account and think the way you do ships is super cute 🥹
I was wondering if I could get a Harry Potter (marauders or golden trio era - dealers choice or both) ship!
My pronouns are she/her and I currently identify as straight, I’m an ENTP/7w8/8w7/Gemini (if that matters) who thinks differently about themselves every other hour. In terms of appearance, I have medium skin, longer dark hair that can barely hold a curl (sad), 5’5”, pretty athletic,and my clothing aesthetic has been described trendy casual but I love the academia vibe! I’ll attach pictures that I’m currently enjoying so you can get a sense of who I am. Here are some emojis I’ve been liking recently too - 🫠☁️🦕🪐🍯🐝🔆🌱😵‍💫
I listen to music almost 24/7 and am a big nerd for the humanities. My favorite tv show is currently Fleabag (I’d highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it yet). I feel like I’m always thinking but that doesn’t mean they are intelligent thoughts. I love *tasteful* tattoos so much and really want to get a few pieces done. I think I like the bad boys but in reality I’d probably be better with a spicy nerd. My dry humor and quick wit are things I like about myself and like in other people. I love people watching, talking about things that excite me and learning about the people I care about. Im the friend that asks “what fruit represents you and why” or “what’s the worst and best thing you can do for someone” at 3am in the morning and follows the question with a bunch of hypotheticals. I’m like a chaotic perfectionist where everything has to be right but I kind of lose track of it at the same time. I want to be a lawyer or something like that since i have a strong personality with a secret soft side. (One day I hope someone writes me a love letter - preferably with a wax seal on it). I think I’m a little overwhelming to some people but also think I’m very cautious with the people I give my energy too. If the vibes feel off you don’t get to see the fun side of me. People will often say they didn’t think I liked them initially but then learned later that Im a complete fool (in a good, cute way).
I’m afraid of failure and losing value. I thrive off of validation and think I like the cat and mouse game a little too much. I can sometimes be a shameless flirt but I’m also incredibly dense. I dislike people who don’t know when to stop talking, I hate dog earring pages, and think that the world would be a better place if everyone could get some therapy. Thank you so much so reading all of this! I hope you liked it and hopefully it gives a good representation of me - it’s a little messy though (not unlike myself I guess). I look forward to hearing from you soon! 🖤
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hello buddy! Finally to you now! Aww thanks!!
Omg the pictures are amazing , i especially liked the metro one and the one with the dark room and stairs idk why ! The choices of emojis are also so cute! And the information is so good, i think I'll be able to ship you pretty nicely! Fleabag🤔I'll surely try my best to watch it! Thankyou for the recommendation . For marauder's era , i ship you with Remus i mean isn't that obvious hahaaha.
I ship you with —
Neville Longbottom
This cute nerd . Yep. For ya!
He's gonna be so bloody nervous omg I can already imagine him stealing glances at you .
If you make an eye contact with him for more than five seconds .. *dham!* "Neville's fainted" Seamus would yell.
You pair's gonna look pretty cute though. He might often admire your tattoos if you get some!
The questions that you ask at 3 am are really liked by him ..! Literally.
It could be that even he felt like you didn't like him in the beginning.. or he was the only one who everyone felt you liked you since the beginning lol
I personally believe neville's gonna be one of the fastest five people in your life who'll get access to your soft side.. like real quick . You'll just vibe with him so much and so good..
Whenever our Mr.Malfoy bullies Neville , your smart wits and dry humour would help him out .
During your low days or whenever you face your worst fears (failure ,etc) he's gonna be there for you and he'll help you heal and bring your confident self back .
You being shameless flirt .. him being extremely timid ! Such an opposite match .
His love language would be words of affirmation and acts of service according to me , so yeah.. he's gonna be a real help to you!
Such a cute match!
Your bestfriend would be —
Strongly leaning towards Hermione Granger
Not you both sharing the same fears hahaha . Lol , you both would often discuss how you both fear your fears!
You wanting to become a lawyer tells me that you could be a very logical or technical thinker.. so that definitely helps Hermione and is a good match for her !
Facts aside , Hermione is super supportive when you're playing .. but I'd be ready to pay your 1000 bucks if you get her to play a sport
A nice , balanced friendship!
Your secret admirer —
Bad boy Malfoy !
Isn't it obvious? Hahahah.
It could be that he is your ex .. and still has feelings for you .. but you realised that you're meant to be with our cinnamon roll Neville!
Long story short..he messed up with your feelings and especially your fears.. causing you to brutally breakup with him .
He still has feelings for you and i don't recommend you going back with him , sorry not sorry !
I tried to add gifs in this , but it kept showing errors! So here are they :
Also , I've added an extra gif for the delay! I'm sorry for the delay!

AYYYYE ASK GAMES 👀
❤️♦️♠️💭‼️
WOOOOOO
— @amys-cringe-cabinet 💙
^^!!! okay so the thing about my music tastes is that it’s very inconsistent and constantly jumping between genres and/or tone, so if we go from some obscure indie artist to the most main stream thing ever do not be concerned that is just how my brain works- so!! here we go!!
♥️: Describes your F/O
oooh, describes… this’ll be fun to try and figure out…. I think for Marik specifically, when it comes to “describing”, I Am by Foot Ox comes to mind. A few lines specifically make me think of him, but most of this is association with the whole mind-controlling-the-ghouls thing.
Life Itself by Glass Animals is a song that instantly makes me think of Ryou; it was either this or Season 2 Episode 3, but I feel like the former describes Ryou better while the latter is more what I associate with his and Bakura’s interactions.
I was so tempted to say Bremen by PigPen Theatre Co. but…. Mask of My Own Face by Lemon Demon is definitely a Bakura song, no doubt. Bremen is probably more of a Thief King song.
Chop Suey! by System of a Down. No further commentary. (jk it’s just that everytime I hear that latter half I think of Melvin and Marik and it’s become a bad habit so of course it finds it’s way here)
♦️: Describes your S/I
okay so guilty confession I have an s/i playlist set up BUT it was originally for my homestuck s/i, so I haven't updated it since like... september. Howeverrrr, scrolling through my songs for a bit, I suppose the song Slumber by Sløtface is fitting enough for Ghostie!! I think she's a bit too much of an NPC as of now for me to completely be sure, but the little movie references and descriptions throughout the song are fitting enough for her I believe. also that chorus gets me feeling some way so she gets just a pinch of angst to her. just as a treat </3
♠️: Describes your relationship
was very very tempted just to say their tag names because those songs are the ones I’m all stupid and mushy over (With You I Feel Alive and Spooky Ghosts by SNCKPCK) but that felt too easy…. so these two get an extra song!!
Muddy Knees by Dayz N Daze was a second response to this prompt for Marik, because the attitude of the song and upbeat-quick-pace tune reminds me a lot of him. Coffee Breath by Sofia Mills is already a song I associate with Ryou a considerable amount, so I thought it’d fit here nicely.
Jelly Bones by The Unicorns because let me think for a second that Bakura would be even slightly as soft for me as I am for him u.u (and i could totally see him being overdramatic over the fact he’s in love… the dork >-<)
Mainly based more off the tune and build up if that makes sense?? But Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second by STRFKR for Melvin because *shakes song around in the container of a brain I have*
💭: You like to daydream about the two of you to
Crave You by Flight Facilities and Giselle just applying to everyone because it is my go-to yearning song- but for individually:
Something by The Beatles.
Like or Like Like by Miniature Tigers (rolls around on the floor like an idiot this one specific song. I swear-).
Midnight, The Stars and You by Al Bowlly, Ray Noble & His Orchestra (yes this is just because it’s from The Shining).
And, lastly, Valentine, Texas by Mitski.
‼️: Reminds you of when you first found your F/O
I was into Detroit: Become Human in the following weeks before I picked up Yu-Gi-Oh! again, so looking through a character playlist I made during that short lived interest, I believe I listened to Who Are You Really? by Mikky Ekko a ton before and after getting into the show, so I think that could count as a catchall for when I first “met them”. I also listened to a handful of Jack Stauber’s shorter songs, so I think those could fit in here too. Nothing really comes to mind of when I really met them, since most of my experience watching this show were through half awake late night phone screens and beading kandi cuffs while paying legit no attention :P. Buuuut…. Specific Jack Stauber songs that make me think of when I first started this show are Get Ahold of Yourself, Love and Co., Just Take My Wallet and Mr Backwards !!!

I warned you about those stairs man /ref
Anyways!
Swing music is super duper catchy. Just the beats for it, and the use of instruments make me go insane!
I get some music being very all over! I know some music can be super overwhelming. Like heavy metal? Very overwhelming.
This will be my last question since I'm very eepy so be ready!
If tomorrow it was told that you were to be gone, what would you do. You can give multiple answers if you want if you just can't decide.
My personal answer would be to just live it out. Say my goodbyes sure but live my life regularly. Maybe I'll go all out but mainly just living life. Because that's what I do the best at!
Can't wait to hear your response. It's been fun speaking!
(waves) it's been nice being social through the inbox. stay safe, ok?
going to change the wording of your question just a bit, hope that's alright
if i had 24 hours to live... let's say 9AM-9AM the next day.
i'd wake up at my usual time: 8:30am i'd shower. drink some caffiene get that shit outta the way so the day will at least start on a positive note. i would probably try and eat at all my favorite places. these names won't make sense to anyone who hasn't lived in my hometown, but that's okay.
bill's cafe for breakfast- they have cream cheese bagels that they serve with eggs benedict and smoked salmon. goddamn.
india garden for lunch- chicken tikka masala with naan bread, and mango lassi to drink. goddamn.
either between the two meals or just after lunch, i'd head to my parents place and... either apologize for not being who they wanted me to be, or egg their house. depends on how vindictive i am the day of. i have a complicated relationship with them, so...
either way, i know for a fact that i would straight up tell my mom she should have been kinder to me. because she should have been.
then i'd go to meadowlark dairy for ice cream. they have a orange/vanilla swirl that kicks ass.
after that, i'd drive to monterey bay. check out the shops, have some salt water taffy, get to the docks for an early dinner of clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl... my favorite meal. bonus points if i can track down that one restaurant that serves them with strawberry daiquiris.
i'd walk to the beach afterwards, maybe enter into the ocean to feel it for one last time. after that, i'd sit down on the sand and get to work.
i'd go on discord, message all my friends, tell them how i really felt about them. i'd tell them how much i loved them. i'd dedicate as many paragraphs as i could to them as the timer clicked down. i'd probably watch the sunset on the beach if the timing was right. chances are, i'd be crying while doing that last part. if i knew i was dying, i don't think i'd have the courage to look my friends in the eye while i told them emotional things.
when it would be too cold at the beach- anyone who's been there after sunset knows the temperature drops quickly- i'd probably see if i could find somewhere open late that serves hot chocolate. i'd keep walking around til late at night.
after that, i'd find somewhere warm to sit and call my godfather. my godfather is someone who survived cancer twice. he knows a lot about close brushes with death, and there's no one else i'd want at my side while i grieve.
i know under the circumstances, he would stay up with me all night. we would talk about everything, and anything, and nothing at all. maybe he'd keep me company until the sun rises the next day.
after the sun is up, but before 9AM, i'd head back down to the beach with a bottle of strawberry moscato. i'd savor the taste, finish the bottle, and close my eyes. maybe i'd fall asleep so i wouldn't see it coming.
i'd die listening to the waves and feeling the sun on my skin. that'd be a nice way to go out.

9/19-20/20 Alright. Lets see where Im at.
I washed all my things in the river Watched them float on down, down the river
The last time I did this was-, god I almost said 6 months ago but July was just 7 weeks ago... Feels so far away.
I hope Im at a better place by the time July is 6 months behind me.
...
Work has been the same. I may be on the precipice of a promotion, one that, if it truly happens, would put me in a position of being able to move out while still supporting my family and myself.
I already have a location Id like to move to, between where my family is and work. Could be nice, if it happens. My family's given me their support, the only issue is the reality of money unfortunately.
Got into a new game recently, a popular MMO that many people have been egging me into playing. Eventually I caved and I have to admit, Im having fun playing it. Its fun being able to connect with my friends in new ways because of it too.
A few weeks ago in the summer, I met up with an old high school friend to celebrate her birthday. And while her friends were more on the outer ring of my social circle, it was nice catching up with familiar faces.
I visited Canada! That was actually really fun, exploring Montreal with family I have up there, eating the food, being able to say I drove there. I still plan to visit the Niagara Falls so it was good to also have this under my belt too.
My cats are doing well, I love them with all of my entire being. I like to think that they love me too, yknow.
...
...
I've... I've been trying to. Hm. Im trying to put together the words but I want to say multiple things at once and Im not sure how to articulate it.
Something changed recently. Not anything major, not anything I can undeniably prove, but something changed. A lens shifted, a synapse fired, a shift in spirits or a course correction of my life. I dont know. But I realized that I've... been walking around shattered. Not broken, not torn, not... any other one-worded metaphor. I was, and am, a shattered facsimile of the person I was a year ago, fuck, a few months ago.
Its important that I say shattered. Because of the meaning behind the word that comes to mind for me. The fragility of broken glass, the sensation of holding shards of hardened clay, the sight of looking into a mirror and seeing the metaphorical hairline fractures in your minds eye as you stare yourself in the eyes.
...Ive been sitting at this line for 30 minutes and I dont know what else to say about the matter to be honest. Im still processing it, trying to figure out what I do from here. What to make of it all, the me of the now, the me of the past, the me of the future.
There are some old practices Id like to get back in to. Tarot reading and origami mostly, shards of myself that I didnt know had broken off until recently. There are some places Im planning on visiting in the Fall and Winter, Ive been looking forward to them. Funnily enough my dreams came back too, didn't really talk about that did I? How for a while I havent had dreams.
To think, when they came back, you were right there in all of them.
And then you sent me those messages, like you already knew what was happening...
...
I miss you.
I miss you, and I wish we could talk again.
I found an old playlist you made for me years ago and Ive been listening to it... Stupid of me to not appreciate it until now. You've got such a great taste in music, a lot of the tracks in there are still relevant. Its been nice listening to it on my drive home, expanding my own sense of music.
Thank you, for making it for me.
...
Im glad the weather has been getting cooler. Im ready for summer to end. I may be a leo but Im also the "light that shines in the abyss", my place is within the cool dark rather than the blazing light.
Jokes, mostly. Im just happy for the cooler weather and vibrant colors of Autumn. Looking forward to wearing my jackets and boots again.
I hope that the next time I write one of these, Ill be at a better place. Im not doing too bad now, of course, but... yeah.

Grounding Techniques
Mental Distraction Techniques
Pick a category of objects and try to think of as many objects as possible that fit within that category (e.g., types of dogs, cities, types of trees, crayon colors, sports)
Pick a letter and think of emotionally positive or neutral words that begin with that letter
Pick a color and look for things of that color. Notice differences in their exact shades
Say or think the alphabet backwards or alternate letters and numbers (A1, B2, C3, D4, etc)
Count backwards from 100 by 3s, 6s, or 7s or count up by prime numbers or perfect squares
Play "fizz-buzz" with yourself. Begin counting to 100 (or over!), but replace any number that contains the number 5 or is a multiple of 5 with the word "fizz" and any number that contains the number 7 or is a multiple of 7 with the word "buzz." For example, 1-15 would be "1, 2, 3, 4, fizz, 6, buzz, 8, 9, fizz, 11, 12, 13, buzz, fizz." When you mess up, compliment yourself and start over
Think of the words to your favorite song or poem or think of facts related to a specific theme
Pick a word or your name and see how many other words you can make from the letters in it
Describe an every day event or process in great detail, listing all of the steps in order and as thoroughly as possible (e.g., how to cook a meal, how to get from your house to your place of work or school, how to do your favorite dance)
Read something technical or meant for children or read words backwards to focus on the process of reading and not the words
Watch a children's television show or movie or watch cute or funny videos on Youtube; it might help to have a playlist already prepared for this
Look at a current news article that is not likely to be upsetting or distressing
Distract yourself with Tetris, Solitaire, Sudoku, word searches, or other puzzle games
Reorientation Techniques
Say or think to yourself: "My name is _________. I am safe right now. I am _____ years old. I am currently at _____________. The date is _____________. If I need help, I am with ________/can call _________. Everything is going to be alright."
List reaffirming statements ("I am fine. Everything is going to be okay. I am strong. I can handle this.")
Ask yourself where you are, what day of the week it is, what day of the month it is, what month it is, what year it is, what season it is, how old you are, and other present-focused questions
Notice things in your surroundings that indicate to you that you're safe or that you're in the present (e.g., locks on your door, electronics that didn't exist when you were younger, the presence of trusted people, a phone so that you can call for help if you need it)
Describe your surroundings in detail, including sights (objects, textures, shapes, colors), sounds, smells, and temperature
Name five things that you see, four that you feel, three that you hear, and two that you smell or taste, and then name one good thing that you like about yourself
Pick four or five brightly colored objects that are easily visible and move your focus between them. Be sure to vary the order of your gaze and concentrate briefly on each one before moving to the next
Think about a fun time that you recently had with a friend or call that friend and ask them to talk about it with you
Sensory-Based Grounding Techniques
Run cool or warm (but not too cold or hot) water over your hands or take a cool or warm bath or shower
Spritz your face (with eyes closed), neck, arms, and hands with a fine water mist
Spray yourself with your favorite perfume and focus on the scent
Feel the weight of your body in your chair or on the floor and the weight of your clothing on your skin
Touch and hold objects around you. Compare the feel, weight, temperature, textures, colors, and materials
Keep a small object with you to touch or play with when you get triggered. Good examples include a smooth stone, a fidget toy, jewelry, or a tiny plushy
Bite into a lemon, orange, or lime, suck on a sour or minty candy or an ice cube, chew cinnamon-flavored gum, or put a few drops of Tabasco sauce on your tongue. Notice the flavor, scent, and texture
Eat something or drink warm tea, coffee, or hot chocolate, and describe to yourself the taste and texture in great detail
Place a cool wash cloth on your face or hold something cold like a can of soda
Listen to soothing or familiar music. If possible, dance to it
Hum, sing, recite poetry, or make up a silly poem or story as you go
Pick up a book and read the first paragraph out loud
Hug another person (if interpersonal touch isn't a trigger). Pay attention to your own pressure and the physical sensations of doing so
Hug a tree! Register the smells of being outside, the wind, and the sights around you
Movement-Based Grounding Techniques
Breathe deeply and slowly and count your breaths
Grab tightly onto your chair or press your feet against the ground as firmly as you can
Rub your palms and clap your hands or wiggle your toes within your socks. Pay attention to the physical sensation of doing so
Stretch out your arms or legs, roll your head on your neck, or clench and unclench your fists
Stomp your feet, walk around, run, jump, ride a bike, do jumping jacks, or do yoga
While walking, notice each footstep and say to yourself "right" and "left" to correspond with the foot currently moving
Squeeze a pillow, stuffed animal, or ball
If you have a soft pet (dog or cat), brush its fur and stroke it. If you don't, brush your own hair slowly and without pulling too much
Color in an adult coloring book, finger paint, or draw anything that comes to mind without worrying about quality
Write whatever comes to mind even if it's nonsense. Try not to write about whatever is upsetting you until you're more capable of doing so without increasing the upset
Write a list of things that make you happy or look for cheerful pictures to make into a collage
Pop bubble wrap or blow and pop actual bubbles
Dig in the dirt or garden, jump on a pile of leaves, or splash around in puddles or mud
Rip up paper or stomp on aluminum cans to crush them
Imagery Techniques
Picture yourself breathing in relaxation, calm, positive feelings, or strength. Picture yourself breathing out whatever is upsetting you. It may help to pair this with imagery of breathing in soothing colors (usually blue, purple, or green) and out more intense colors (usually red or black)
If you need to relax, envision a soothing white or golden light slowly moving up your body, warming and relaxing every part of you that it touches. You can also think of it as protecting you from negativity or from harm
If the problem is intense or uncomfortable emotions, physical sensations, or memories, picture them being surrounded and neutralized by a bright and healing light, temporarily placed in a mental box to be stored for later, or dialed back by an internal controller of intensity
If you have a clear mental picture of what's upsetting you, mentally change it to something silly or harmless. If you're a fan of Harry Potter, cast a mental "riddikulus" to banish the negativity
Picture yourself calm, focused, and able to tackle whatever problems you're facing. Focus on how that would feel in the moment. What would your expression and posture be like? Make whatever changes you need to in order to make your reality reflect your goal
How to Make a Grounding Box
Get a box or basket
Personalize and decorate it with construction paper, wrapping paper, ribbon, stickers, drawings, paint, photographs, glitter, sequins, or anything else that you like
Keep within it:
A list of grounding techniques that you know work for you
A list of positive affirmations and happy memories
A list of the contact information of trusted friends or family who are willing to help and support you
Small sensory objects such as: scented candles, perfumes, or lotions; hard candies or gum; soft fabrics, a stress ball, a stuffed animal, or a fidget toy; happy pictures of you with friends; a CD with relaxing music or meditation tracks. Try to cover all of the senses
A list of possible distractions such as books to read or movies to watch
Small portable distractions such as a pack of playing cards, a small game, or a joke book
A list of comforting things to do such as taking a bubble bath, snuggling up in bed, or meditating
A small journal or notebook
In the Case of a Flashback
Tell yourself that you are having a flashback and are safe now
Remind yourself that the worst is over, and you survived it. What you're feeling now is just a reminder of that trauma and does not fit the present moment
Remind yourself of when and where you are, who you're currently with, and who you can contact if you need help (use the reorientation-focused grounding techniques)
Breathe deeply and slowly. Count your breathes and make sure that you're getting enough air
Use other mental, sensory, movement, and imagery techniques in order to distract yourself, calm yourself, and reorient yourself within the present
If possible or necessary, go somewhere where you can be alone or with a close friend, where you will feel safe, or where you feel protected or shielded
If there is anyone who you can trust or who will support you, reach out to them, let them know what happened, and let them know what you need, what would be best for you, or what they could do to help
Be gentle with yourself and take the time to really recover. If what helps you to recover is to color, take a bubble bath, hug a stuffed animal, or watch a children's movie and if it would not be disruptive to do such things at that point in time, embrace those options whole-heartedly
If possible, note or write down what triggered the flashback, what techniques you tried to use to disrupt the flashback, and what techniques helped

Hello! I was feeling a bit down lately so could you write a comfort scenario/fanfic w Bakugou? Maybe his S/O is distant and trying to avoid him because they feel like a burden? Like they friends are acting strangely (as if they did something bad) and now they think they don't deserve Katsuki's attention? Your works are really amazing (and kinda helpful cuz English isn't my first language) ^^
changed it up just a tad bit!
tw: mentions of anxiety and depression
pairing: bakugou x reader
summary: you feel alone even when you're surrounded by friends
word count: 1.5k words
03.03.22
-
you always thought as yourself as someone who could be outgoing, someone who could start conversations with anybody, someone who was getting comfortable and confident with themselves.
you had everything you could have wanted—a boyfriend who loves you and a class full of friends you adored. you were happy with yourself and life was good.
it had been a while since you were down in the dumps. your anxiety and depression were just a memory of the past and you could feel yourself grow as a person. it was nice. everything was in place and you were starting to feel like the main character of your life once again.
a lingering thought always passed by in the back of your mind, wondering when your happiness would crash and you'd fall back into a moment of despair. you felt that your life was going too good, you had it too good—something was coming.
this was supposed to be fun; you were supposed to have fun, but why do you feel so alone even when you're surrounded by friends?
glancing up, you watch your friends link arms and giggle happily as you walked behind them, alone. uraraka and mina chatted together about boys while momo and jiro shared their different music tastes.
'going in an odd number group has bound to have one person lonely,' you think to yourself as you quietly walk behind your friends, observing the shops around you. 'guess i'll take one for the team.'
this wasn't at all what you imagined when you wanted to go shopping with friends. why did you feel so neglected?
did you say something wrong earlier? do they not like you anymore? were they starting to get bored of you?
your thoughts were interrupted when you heard momo's voice, "oh! it's bakugou!" momo exclaimed, pointing to your boyfriend a few shops away, you immediately perked up.
as much as you loved your friends, you wanted to be with bakugou and have him take you away from this misery. just as you were about to approach him until you saw him talking with another girl.
normally bakugou would barely bat an eye at anybody who didn't catch his eye, so why was he having a whole conversation with this lady? and why he does he seem so unbothered and relaxed by her presence?
you felt yourself shrinking in on yourself. everything was becoming too much, too overwhelming.
"no, i deserve this. who am i kidding, i'm nowhere near as good to stand by his side. even my friends don't want anything to do with me..." your thoughts ran loud in your mind as the anxiety began to eat at you.
before it could consume you, your favorite voice caught you, "i was wondering when you'd finally show up."
coming back to your senses, bakugou was standing in front of you with a raised brow. you stared up at his pretty eyes before glancing behind his shoulder at the previous lady who had walked away.
"you were waiting for me?" you asked quietly, and he let out a sigh, "yeah, and it took a lot longer than i thought too. i texted round face asking and said you guys would have been here ten minutes ago."
you grimaced internally. first that lady, and now he was texting uraraka? why didn't he just text you? it was like he was trying to get rid of you.
frowning, you glance away, "sorry. we got distracted along the way," you say, and bakugou pulls you into his side, resting his head against yours. "whatever, at least you're here now."
you'll take what you got.
-
the commons were full of loud music and white noise of the conversations and mingling in the back. you sat alone on the couch with a cup of fruit punch in your hands as you glanced around at everyone—they looked like they were having fun.
your eyes met with kirishima's, and he smiled before walking over to say hello.
"(name)! how's it going?" he asked, plopping himself down beisde you. you gave him a small smile, thankful for his kind nature, "it's going okay. are you having fun?"
he flashed a toothy grin at you, "i always have fun with all of my friends around."
before you could respond, denki and sero were calling him over to be a tie-breaker in some vote they had going on, leaving you alone again on the couch.
grimacing, you took a sip of your juice before you began fidgeting with the cup. normally you would have a blast during these hangouts, but you felt totally invisible.
you wanted to find bakugou and hide in his chest for the night, but to your dismay, he was talking with uraraka.
the small flame of anger building up in you began to ignite, and your frustration and thoughts were making you feel like you were going crazy.
standing up abruptly, you place a hand on mina's shoulder, offering her a fake smile as she turns over to look at you. "hey, mina, i'm not feeling too well, so i'm going to head to bed for the night. hopefully, I'll be good as new tomorrow," you lie as she gave you a sad frown.
"oh (name), i'm so sorry to hear! you rest up, okay?" she seemed genuinely worried, which did make you feel a little bit better, but you simply nodded and turned around to head to your dorm.
you wanted to be alone.
walking alone in the halls that were beginning to muffle the noise of the commons, you found it ironic that you wanted to be alone when you were just complaining about being alone.
no, you wanted to be alone, not ignored.
standing in front of your dorm door, you let out a sigh. what were you doing wrong?
"(name)."
hearing your name, you glanced toward the source to see bakugou approaching you from the end of the hallway, "katsuki?"
"mina said you were going to bed because you were sick," he informs, and you look away, "...yeah, just wanted some quiet time alone."
opening the door to your room, you step inside before glancing over at bakugou, "don't worry about me. go back and have fun, goodnight," but before you could close the door, bakugou forced his way in before closing the door behind him himself.
"you've been acting weird today. what's wrong?" he asked, and you looked up at him, shocked. "what?"
"your vibes or whatever mina calls are different today, and i know you're not sick. you usually enjoy yourself when the class is hanging out, but you were sitting all quiet on the couch."
you purse your lips from his statement but refuse to answer. bakugou let out a sigh, "what's going on in that mind of yours, pretty girl?" he asks gently, and only then do you comply.
"things just felt weird and different...and i felt really lonely because of it, so i just wanted to be by myself, so i wouldn't have to feel so alone," you confess, playing with your fingers as you sat down on your bed defeated.
bakugou followed you but opted to stand in front of you instead, "but you have so many friends in class," looking up at him through your lashes, you glanced back down at your hands, "it feels like nobody likes me anymore.."
"did you forget that you have me?" he asks, hurt swimming in his eyes, but you look away. "i wanted to go to you, but you were busy with someone else," your voice was small, and you shrunk in on yourself. "do you still even want to be with me?"
bakugou watched as tears welled up in those beautiful eyes of yours before you sniffled, "what did i do wrong?"
"i thought that i was doing great, and i thought that things were getting better, but i have never been so lonely before," you cry as you curl in on yourself.
strong arms quickly embrace you, your whole body covered in his warmth and comfort. "(name), i should've been there for you when you needed me most," his voice gentle as he runs a hand down your back. "and of course, i still want to be with you, dummy. there's nobody i'd rather be with than you."
pulling away, you stare sadly into his eyes, a quiver on your lips, "you deserve someone better, i'm just holding you back from your potential like this." you try to pull away, but bakugou pulls you into him tighter, you unable to move in his grip.
"don't ever say something as dumb as that ever again," bakugou presses a kiss to your lips, staring at you intensely, "i want to be with you. you're the reason i am who i am today," he says, and all you could do was sink onto his shoulder.
"i get that you don't feel happy, and i want to help you feel better. how can we do that?"
bakugou always held a lot of strength and willpower in them that allowed you to trust him. he always put 100 in everything he did, even if it was as simple as helping you.
"i just want you by my side."
