I'm sorry.
I'm just laughing over like... overwatch fans being mad at me for saying their game isn't that fucking great at queer rep.
it has TWO LGBT characters who were openly LGBT as SOON AS THEY WERE RELEASED.
that's fucking Lifeweaver, added to the game in 2023, and Venture-
a fucking nonbinary character who ISNT in the game yet.
do you understand why this is laughable?
overwatch has been around for 8 fucking years and it took a fucking sequel to force them to reveal characters were queer from the get go.
for the past 8 years, they've been queerbaiting mercy and pharah, while hocking how canon gency is, they have been teasing roadhog and junkrat, barely, and I guess.
if you MUST defend blizzard.
you can say well it's ok they did reveal tracer was a lesbian on Twitter and then they admitted soldier 76 was gay literally 3 years after he was released, and then they made pharah a lesbian and baptiste bisexual- literally 7 years after pharah was released and 4 years after Baptiste was.
yeah.
so progressive revealing that in random comics and lore bits that barely show up in game, if they ever do. and I haven't played overwatch in a while, because I have a high degree of respect for myself, but from what I fucking remember, soldier doesn't say shit about his boyfriend, if he even has one, tracer only makes a reference or two to Emily, who might as well be her sister with how mild it was.
and I vaguely recall Baptiste flirting with ana. and pharah as far as I know has never ever said anything about all the hot chicks she dates on the side.
and that's it.
that's your amazing queer rep.
you have two queer characters from the start who were not retroactively made gay, and one hasn't even been released yet.
good work, blizzard.
so revolutionary.
y'all know blizzard is an American company and gay marriage has been legal in the US since 2015?
whereas apex legends literally started OFF in 2019 openly stating hey this character is trans and this one is nonbinary and this one is gay and this one is a lesbian and these TWO literally hit on men and women- oh also the pansexual and nb PLAYABLE CHARACTERS are dating and they flirt and dote on each other in game-
but I'm getting flak from you weirdo blizzard fans who for some reason think blizzard is worth your devotion?
even if it was good at queer rep, I am not sure if fucking blizzard and OVERWATCH 2, one of the biggest monetary scams in all of gaming are the hills you want to die on.
but at least you'll be dead.

crewfu · 9 months
Note
Hi ! I'm new around here, do you or anyone else have a crewfu primer to get to know the main people a bit more? Thank you! Xo
this is a big ask but i will do my best:
So we will start with “Crewfu” itself. I think the more used/accepted name for the group is the Morning Lobby. They are a group of streamers/content creators that met through playing Among Us. I'm not 100% on the start date but it was some time in Oct/Nov 2020 - April/May 2021. They had a reunion in June 2022 and continue to play Among Us every Wednesday since. I'll write a short synopsis for each current regular but the otv and friends wiki has a great list of the people who played in the morning lobbies. I also included some links to clips of some of the streamers that I really like.
Crewfu vods/videos I would recommend:
Crewfu panel at twitchcon 2022 edited / full vod
Crewfu plays pico park edited: hafu Dumbdog / full vod (steve)
Hafu’s birthday stream full vod
Hafu: She is the crew’s Mom. She set up the original morning lobbies daily for months. She’s a legend in the gaming community and has been streaming/playing games competitively for over 10 years. Choose any competitive game over this time period and Hafu has probably mastered it. She is married to another streamer called dogdog and they live in Las Vegas with their dog Jubbs.
dakotaz (dk): One of the og members of the morning lobby. He helped set up the lobbies with Hafu at the start due to the frustration of trying to find and play in lobbies at the height of Among Us popularity. Currently streams Fortnite almost daily. He has an alt stream where he sometimes streams Among Us and Valorant and any other games he feels like. He hits those, he's in his 30s, and he's petty all the time. He briefly lived in Vegas but he is a true Florida man and moved back after a short time.
5up: His twitter bio says “rank 1 among us player” He was a rival to Hafu in the og lobbies and was known for his big brain Among Us plays. He also acted as the substitute teacher during the original lobby run and held things together after hafu stopped playing among us in 2021. He commissioned a team to create a custom Among Us map called the submarine map. He plays a lot of competitive games currently like League of Legends, Valorant, TFT as well as MCC. He also travels a lot and he has a lot of friends in many different streaming circles like OTV&F, the minecraft community, etc.
stevesuptic: He was “poached” from a ChilledChaos lobby where he met Hafu and Dumbdog for the first time. He impressed Hafu with not only how funny he was but also with how bad he was at the game. He makes and produces his own music under the artist name "SUGR?" He's been a part of too many youtube channels to list but is probably most well known for Sugar Pine 7. He currently streams valorant and variety content pretty much daily. In May of 2023 he announced that he is roommates with Janet/xChocoBars, another member of the Morning Lobby. In July 2023 he got his own kitten named Olympus or Oly for short.
DumbDog: Despite his name he is generally known for being good at most games. He met Hafu through NorthernLion on the NLSS. He was a semi-regular participant in the original morning lobbies but I think he’s the only person who has been in every single lobby since the reunion. He recently bought a house and adopted a cute husky puppy named Artemis or Artie for short. He is a frequent member of the variety lobbies and plays with Steve and their group almost daily. He is a furry and as part of a sub goal he commissioned a fursuit and it was finished this year. 
xChocoBars or Janet- She is a Canadian variety streamer and a regular in both current and original lobbies.  She plays lots of group games with friends and is often addicted to certain games like APEX and TFT and streams them a lot. She has 2 cats named Hazel and Baton and recently became roommates with Steve.
Angelskimi or Kimi (formerly known as plushys): She is an ASMR artist who was a regular in the og lobbies and plays almost weekly now. She is a pretty irregular streamer but does upload on her ASMR youtube channel weekly. Despite her claims of being “so angel” she is an innuendo queen. She lives in LA with her dog Pix and her cat Snowball.
Ellum: He is one half of daft and dafter with Koji being the other half. He is one of the regulars from the UK. He calls himself the smoothest brain on twitch which may or may not be true. He streams variety games on most weekdays. He lives in London with his girlfriend (CaptainPuffy) and they have a corgi named Pudding together.
koji: He is the other half of daft and dafter. He is known for being a very wholesome streamer. His content oscillates from really cozy games to horror with occasional group gaming streams with friends. He is vegan and lives with his longtime girlfriend Abby and their 2 dogs Miso and Bugs.
Smajor / Smajor1995 / dangthatsalongname / Scott: He currently plays quite frequently in the morning lobby but his specialty outside of that is minecraft content. He is on the Empires server, organizes MCC, the life series, etc. I personally watch more of his youtube content than his streams. He lives in England but he is from Scotland.
Junkyard129: He is a new regular to the morning lobbies and has been playing every week for the last several months. He is the oldest person in the lobby and is often the butt of a lot of jokes because of it. He has probably been creating content longer than anyone else in the lobby as youtube says his first video was uploaded 16 years ago!! Currently streams variety gaming solo and with the Chilled group quite often. He also has regular streams from his woodworking shop where he makes cutting boards, coasters, etc to sell. He has a special dance that he performs when he gets raided.
vGumiho: She is a variety v-tuber who currently plays both in the morning lobby and with the Steve variety game group. She started becoming a more frequent regular when the crew started playing Valorant but plays most weeks for the Among Us lobbies currently. She has a dog named Kazu. She organizes ppsat lobbies which used to be weekly but are less frequent now.
Ovilee: She is an esports commentator who currently plays with the morning lobby most weeks. She also streams and she presented the morning lobby panel at twitch con.

Hoyofair Spring 2024 Creator Links!
Like last Hoyofair I'm making a post linking to the youtube channels of each project shared at hoyofair! Be sure to follow the creators and support their main channels so they can keep making amazing projects like these!
Galactic Abyss Chronicles - 神·潜行瞬杀 and others
I actually found the director, head animator, and head modeler on Bilibili! Here Real proud of myself because he has no accounts on the western internet. He hasn't posted the full short on his account yet but he does have a fananimation for the Apex Legends X FFVII Rebirth collab.
From what I can tell this is also the first Genshin related animation he's done which is cool. The rest of the creators seem to be from the CN fandom as well although I could not find their Bilibili's from a quick search
Ranked DayCare - by No_Tables
Their first Hoyo short was at Hoyofair 2023. So it's great to see them back with a new bit. Now with Klee!
Moonlit Bamboo Forest - Passion Paris
So this is apparently an Academy Award winning Animation studio!? Passion Pictures is the studios name and the Paris branch animated this short. We have legit 2D animation studios submitting Shorts to Hoyofair now. Wow!
Needless to say this was the short with the most unique animation style. And one of my top favorites this year.
Trial by Combat - ???
So this one seems to be just a collab of a bunch of animators. Like I can't find the project manager online (too generic a name for google). The head animator has a twitter but Twitter changed at somepoint where it won't let me view a direct link to someones profile without being logged in. I ain't creating a twitter for this rabbit hole. his username is rabbitoldman if you want to look him up. But he hasn't made any tweets with the word genshin as far as google's concerned.
I just can't find one sorry.
Progenitor: The Surface - dillongoo
Ex- RWBY animator returns with episode 3 of his "if genshin was a cyberpunk anime" series. The first two episodes hit so hard and the 3rd episode does not disappoint!
youtube
Realm of Faith: Live Actually - Type Zero Inc
Another legit animation studio for the animation. They don't have a youtube so i don't know if they'll ever upload the full version anywhere other than hoyofair.
But! The two songs have been posted on the singers youtubes with longer versions!
majiko(Furina), 4s4ki(Lumine), Wolpis Carter(Venti)
youtube
Chogakusei (Wriothesley), Amatsuki (Childe), 96Neko (Arlecchino)
youtube
Domain 404 - LucHD
Their first and only other Hoyofair short was shown over a year ago at hoyofair 2022. But Luc has returned with a full 4 minute short filled with Spiral Abyss and other meta in jokes. Diluc out here maining a C6 Bennett lol.
youtube
TitanSlayers: Edge of Oblivion - Kieru
Kieru once again turns in an amazing action packed animation. The last one was the Persona spoof with Lyney and Lynette. But my favorite of theirs is Cyno vs Anubis and the Gods
Shenhe Awaken - Rhinocore
They made a previous short for Hoyofair but that one was never posted to a youtube channel other than hoyofair. So I'm going to assume they don't have a youtube and this one is just going to say on Hoyofair as well.
---
And that's all the Creators from this Hoyofair! It was less creators than the winter one but I feel like that might be because multiple shorts are nearly 10 minutes.
But which one was your favorite? Do you like the change to less but longer shorts? Or do you wish they went back to more shorts 2-5 minutes long? Let me know in the tags! And be sure to follow all these guys on their youtube's so you can see the teaser trailers they post a few days before each Hoyofair.

Some single-person portrait.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Two-person scene. Medieval AU for Birdhound and Dragonhound (Plague doctor & Dragon knight), and some hugs (I love them hugging each other.)

-Thx for all the support from you guys, its crazy i got like 40 likes on the first chapter so i was super excited thx thx thx xoxo have a good night guys 
—---------------------------------------------------
You woke to the sound of beeping. Squinting, you opened your eyes, despite the bright light overhead. You were in a…hospital room? The bright white walls gave you a headache quick, combined with the damn light. And the beeping. Where the hell was that annoying shit coming from? Growling, you snapped your head around, locating the sound. It was a monitor, reading your now fast-paced heartbeat.
What happened? The last thing you remembered was Ash. And pain. And…and Revenant. Revenant picking you up. Revenant taking you away from the massacre. Revenant looking down at you. Revenant nuzzling you. You had felt it within your feverish sleep, felt his eyes, felt his affectionate gestures. Where was he now? What happened during the match?
You attempted to sit up, but pain sparked, darting quickly around your insides and echoing in your ribcage. Groaning, you fell back down, your head landing on the pillow with a thud. The hell? Wasn’t this stuff supposed to be taken care of already? Why didn’t the doctors do anything yet? Your side throbbed gently, and you realized your breathing was a little forced. You knew your ribcage was jacked up, but you couldn’t help but wonder if your diaphragm was okay.
You listened to the beeping of the monitor for what seemed like hours before there was movement in the corner of the room. A doctor pulled back the blue curtain that you hadn’t noticed initially, stepping in. They held a clipboard, looking up from it to make eye contact with your curious but annoyed gaze. “Ah, you’re awake.” they said, and you identified them as a he, as their voice was deep. He wore pale blue scrubs, a mask, and a scrub hat. A few brown pieces of hair could be seen poking out. His hazelnut eyes gazed at you curiously.
“Well, yeah.” you said impatiently. You sat up slowly, and the pain stayed to a minimum. This was getting annoying quick. Never in your years of playing in the Apex Games had you been in the hospital for so long after a match. It made you feel weak, and you didn't like it. “Why am I still here? Shouldn't I be good already?” You took a deep breath, and your lower stomach cried out in a shot of pain. You groaned, squinting slightly. He gave you an upset look, then seemed as if he was thinking for a moment before deciding to respond.
“Well, ma’am, uh…”
“Just spit it out.” you growled. Damn, you sounded like Revenant for a second there. Weird, you had barely known him well, only about two days, and it seemed as if you and him had known each other for a while now. Funny how things can be like that. But it also seemed like things were..different. Ever since you had met the murderbot, it had seemed like your normal life as a Legend had gotten more interesting. You turned up one corner of your mouth in a smirk and looked down at your hands, which were clinging desperately to your throbbing stomach. Well, if you wanted to call that interesting, you guessed.
You tuned back in long enough to hear the word ‘surgery’ come from the guy. A trigger went off in your head just at this word. Images briefly flashed through your mind. Screaming. Tools. Things being taken from you. “Wait, what?” you said, snapping back to attention, now alarmed. “What did you just say?” What was he talking about? There was a quick moment of realization about what he may have said, but you didn't want to think about that. You couldn't. Bile rose into the back of your throat, and you quickly swallowed it back down. You felt your hands begin to tremble, but you willed them to stop, just long enough for you to focus on the now-confused doctor.
He raised an eyebrow before repeating himself in a low and slow voice. “I said that you have to undergo surgery.” You gasped. Your assumptions had been correct. No. No. No. He doesn't realize you can’t do it, there's too much trauma, too much pain. As if the word sparked meaning to the present, your side and lower stomach both began to throw a tantrum, shots of pain flying everywhere. ‘It’s all a dream..’ you internally whispered to yourself. ‘Not this. Anything but this!’ 
Your vision blurred slightly when the doctor didn’t say anything more. You couldn't believe this would ever have to happen again. What if you didn't survive this time? You should've died last time. You felt dead then. You looked dead then. You should've just died on that abandoned lab table so you wouldn't have to go through it again. You felt your chest constrict, and your breathing suddenly became ten times harder, making your lungs hurt. Every time you inhaled, it felt like hundreds of tiny needles were puncturing your organs. Was this hyperventilating? You fell back softly into your bed, this time no pain occurring because everything was already hurting.
You heard the beeping speed up increasingly as you instinctively reached up to grasp your neck with both hands. Faintly in the background, you could hear the doctor yelling orders and demanding people. There was a shout, and then another, and then a roar. What the hell? Your pain, however, brought you back, and you whined out desperately. When would it subside? When would the past stopped haunting you? Tears streamed down your face as your vision was closing up, the edges of the room you were in shadowing over with black. “Sir, you cannot go in now, no visitors allowed-sir, SIR.” a voice said sternly at what you could make out was someone trying to visit you. But who-? Just then something, someone, burst into the room, the curtains snapping.
You were looking up at the ceiling, and since your vision was almost completely tunneled, you couldn’t see who it was. Metal scraped the ground in a hurry, and suddenly Revenant was in your face. He looked brand new, no scratches, no bullet-marks. Nothing. Just plain Revenant. Your crying stopped when you looked at him. You felt protected once more. But everything in your vision was fading fast. “Hey, (y/n), you still there?” he breathed out quickly. You wanted to respond so badly. But you just couldn’t. You were gasping for air, and it felt as if you were drowning. You were. You were drowning in the past. You watched as Revenant’s now-worried face began to disappear. 
Your brain screamed out, ‘No! Don’t leave me!’ But your heart screamed louder. It thudded in your eardrums as it screamed out to the simulacrum, repeating one phrase. ‘Help me! Help ME! HELP ME!’ But it was no use. Your eyes shut. “No, no, don’t close your eyes. (Y/n), stay with me, dammit!” you heard him yell out, but it was no use. All the background noise, the beeping, the yelling, the pounding in your ears, it all went away. Peaceful, blissful quietness. 
You opened your eyes. It was you. You were staring at yourself. You took a deep breath, finally being able to breathe without sharp needles stabbing at your insides. Looking around, it was nothing but darkness. You looked down. You were floating, little stars indicating you were in the sky or at least not anywhere remote. You looked back up, realizing that there was no throbbing pain anywhere in your body either. You let out a laugh, it felt great. 
But after a moment, you looked yourself in the eyes. This wasn’t reality, was it? No, now you recalled it. Somewhere in the present, you were twitching and fidgeting in your sleep, which you fell into after a panic attack. Somewhere right now, the simulacrum you had come to adore over the last two days sat kneeling beside your bed, staring intently at you and rubbing your cheek, trying to get you to wake up. Somewhere in the present, you had a somewhat impending doom looming over you like a weight that you could not escape; a tragedy from your past that you had to experience once more. Somewhere, you were internally drowning in your thoughts. Somewhere, you were thinking of all the ways everything could go wrong. Somewhere you were-somewhere-somewhere-
You yelped in shock as you suddenly stopped floating, plummeting into nothingness. The specks of light flashed before you, disappearing after a moment, and you hit water like a rock. Upon impact, you felt nothing, but instead of bobbling on the surface and trying to swim, you began to sink under. Taking a deep, panicked breath, your head submerged. You flailed around, trying to get away, trying to get back to the surface, but you couldn’t. You looked down, and once you realized, you screamed, the air bubbles floating away in the current.
Someone was tugging you down by the ankle, someone you knew and would never forget by the look in their eyes. They had been crazy, they had been mad. They had even been labeled as insane. They had stolen from you, had tortured you, had maimed you. This person was none other than your father. You screamed again.
—---------------------------------------------------
Revenant kneeled next to the bedside, staring at your twitching body. There was a painstricken look on your face, and he couldn’t help but wonder what you were dreaming about that put you in such agony. He had been in the waiting room, wanting to check in on you, but when he heard your faint cries and saw doctors bustling around in a hurry, he got up to find you. It wasn't hard, you were making a lot of noise. But not good noises. And when the doctor tried to stop him, he just marched right past and into your room. And you. Your monitor going fifty miles an hour. You, lying in the bed and staring up at the ceiling, desperately waiting for anybody to help you as you gasped for air. He knew now that it had been a panic attack, and it would've probably been better to not yell in your face the way he had.
He continued to stroke your cheek in a circular motion, hoping that it would wake you up, but so far there had been no success. You twitched once in the face, making Revenant pull away for a second before continuing his stroking. What had triggered the attack? One thought led to another, and the match from earlier in the morning popped up. An enemy team had knocked him down shortly after leaving the building, causing him to drop you. He got pissed just thinking back to that.
—---------------------------------------------------
“Loba, leave her alone.” Revenant growled at the smirking girl. She held her hand to her mouth, feigning concern before taking three steps over to your crumpled body. Regret shot through him; he should’ve-he could’ve done more to protect you from this monster, but he had just been too slow.
“Oh, you mean this weak thing?” Loba said. When he didn’t respond, she kicked your back. You whined out, crumpling up further in your feverish state. He growled. Sure, he absolutely loved hearing your sounds, but not genuine, painful ones. Loba watched his face carefully, examining his reaction. “So, this one is close to you?” she said, internally seeming to process the newfound information. Revenant just growled once more from his crouched position on the ground.
“I’ll remember that, for sure.” Loba chuckled. Then, in one swift motion, she whipped out her pistol, shooting you directly in the head. Your body was immediately boxed up, and Revenant couldn’t help but whine softly, not loud enough for Loba to hear though. Even though he knew you would be healed up within a matter of hours after the game, it was still hard watching something he cared for be destroyed. He had witnessed it one too many times in his lifetime, and it seemed as if you had brought out his sensitive side once more.
“And as for you, demonio..” He cringed at the nickname. All he could think about was when Octane had said it earlier, and it made him red. “It’s time for you to make your grand exit!” She emphasized the word ‘grand’ just to piss him off. What a whore. “See you on the other side! Or not, I hope.” she said, snickering at her own comment before aiming her gun barrel straight at his head and pulling the trigger.
—---------------------------------------------------
The sound of feet behind Revenant snapped him out of his thoughts, and he whipped around angrily, ready to fight anyone willing to step between him and what was his. Instead of what he had expected, it was just a bunch of anxious-looking doctors. Growling, he reluctantly stood, his singular claw lingering on your cheek before finally sliding away and off. Upon withdrawing from your skin, you began to shiver slightly. Growling, he glared at the workers as they began to gather around you. Why did skinsuits always have to get in the way of everything?
The doctors looked over you, head to toe. They examined your state carefully, flinching away whenever you moved or made a sound before leaning back in and continuing. When it seemed as if everything had been checked, they nodded at one another before grabbing the sides of your bed and wheeling it forward. Shocked, Revenant gasped and growled at the same time, stepping forward and blocking their only way out. They shuttered to a stop, and it was quiet for a moment. One of your pain-filled moans broke the silence, however. “Sir, if you wouldn’t mind stepping out of-” one doctor began, but he interrupted.
“Where the hell are you taking her?” he growled in the most menacing voice he could muster. It worked, because at least two of the doctors flinched at his tone. Good. 
“Sir, we are taking her in for surgery now since it has to be done soon or-”
“What?” he growled out, annoyed. “Nonsense, she doesn't need surgery. Plus look at her state!” A few eyes fell upon you as you whimpered again. 
“Sir-”
“And what if the idea of surgery was the reason why she had the panic attack in the first place?” he said, waving a hand at your now-shivering body. The doctor paused, as did the others, and they looked at each other. “So, put the bed back-”
“Sir.” Revenant looked down at another doctor, who had now spoken. Who dares interrupt the most violent Legend there is in the Apex Ga- “When surgery was brought up, her hyperventilating did begin, thus causing the attack.” Revenant lightly growled, pleased to know he was right. “However, if she doesn’t get surgery, there’s a 76% rate that she will not survive, let alone ever play in the Games again.” Revenant stopped. He hadn’t really thought about how serious this was. Were you really hurt that badly? His LEDs longingly wandered to you, and after watching you tremble and cry out softly for a few seconds, he felt his character melt, even if just for a second, and he came to his conclusion.
“Fine.” he spat. “Do the surgery. But do it now, and get it done fast and efficiently. Or I’m slitting some necks.” A few doctors gulped as he stepped out of the way and slightly closer to their side. As they quickly rolled you out, he remembered something and shouted after them. “Oh yeah, and give her anything and everything that will numb her and keep her asleep!” One of them nodded, and he shut the curtains with a sigh. 
He dropped to the floor, slumping over slightly. The room was so empty without you. The heart monitor recording your heartbeats didn’t beep. He couldn’t hear you breathe. He even would’ve given anything in that moment to hear you whimper. Not that he liked it in this context, but he just wanted something of you. Despite it only being two days since he truly met you, he had quickly become obsessed. He just wanted you to get better already and come back to him.
—---------------------------------------------------
You were still drowning. All your warmth was gone at this point, and the water enveloping you was chilling you to the core. You had lost your voice ages ago. And your father was still dragging you under, further and further, the same crazed look in his eyes. You weren’t sure how much longer you could go on, both physically and mentally. 
You thought he was dead. He was, you had watched him die. You kept on trying to convince yourself that this wasn’t real, but your reality was becoming harder and harder to distinguish from make believe as the seconds, minutes, hours went by. The only thing that you were sure you could anchor to was Revenant. He was real, and that was the reality, not this. Still, it was hard, and you couldn’t sense him anymore. All you could sense was overwhelming doom.
Your ankle flexed, and you could feel your father’s cold hand gripping you. The past hit even harder than before. The table. Your naked body on that table. Blood pouring from your naked body onto that table. Your father leaning over the bloody mess pouring from your naked body onto that table. You threw up, the vomit floating past you and up towards the surface. It had seemed like days before the police finally had come, subduing your father and rushing you to the hospital. 
You shouldn’t have survived. It was horrible. You had stitches all along your belly, under your stomach, running along your chest. You had tried to ignore it and continue on with life, but every now and then they itched and you would have recurring flashbacks for the remainder of the day. Now they writhed and burned like snakes being set on fire along your body. You tried to reach for them, but it was no use. The water held you captive, as if it was trying to assist your father.
Suddenly, there was a jolt that ran through the water around you two, and all the liquid began to drain away. You fell down, your father still holding onto your ankle with deathly white knuckles. All your senses lagged for a second, and you began to think you had either died or you were back to reality, which both seemed great in that moment. However, there was light, and you thudded down onto an iron table, now naked and bound to the smooth but cold surface. You realized you were vulnerable, stuck, and unable to escape, and all at once your brain went into flight mode. Screaming as loud as you could for already having lost your voice, you pounded your fists in anger, grief, and fear, causing the table to rattle slightly underneath you. Someone had to hear you, someone at the very least.
Your father was in the corner of the room grabbing at things hastily. He now had a lab coat on, and when he turned around, a mask covered most of his face. He quickly approached you, leaning over you like you were a fine specimen. He then began touching you-probing you with his utensils. You wanted to move, but couldn’t. You had fallen silent at this point, watching in sheer fear as he did this to you. If no one had come to your rescue now, then no one was coming. You watched in horror as he took a blade, cutting into your lower stomach and completely pulling away your skin. 
 —---------------------------------------------------
Revenant was still crunched up against the wall of your room, staring at the floor, when he heard you scream. His head snapped up, and in one swift motion he was off the ground, making his way down the hallway towards where he had heard the sound. He turned a corner and saw signs pointing towards the surgery section of the hospital. He continued on, despite doctors noticing him and trying to stop him. But he wasn’t going to stop. He wasn’t. He knew something was wrong. You were in trouble. He knew something like this would happen. He shouldn’t have left you with them. He could’ve-he should’ve-nonsense. He needed to find you.
He turned another corner, protesting doctors following in his wake. There. Through the glass, he could see you, just barely, as surgeons were surrounding you. Your face wasn’t moving, but there was a horrified look plastered to your unconscious face. What were they doing? He growled, trying the door, but to no avail. The surgeons inside began to bustle around a little when your heart monitor began to spike. You still weren’t moving, though. “Dammit (y/n), wake up!” Revenant shouted. 
A few surgeons looked back at the window, jumping when they saw him looming over their room’s entrance. His two beady eyes reflected off the glass, probably making him look like the Grim Reaper or some shit. He was right, because when he tried for the door a second time, a few of them yelped and ran towards the back of the room. Security must’ve been called, because people…no, MRVNs, came from behind, grabbing his arms with surprising strength and yanking him away. 
“No!” he shouted out, trying to muster up any amount of strength in his body to pull away from the robots’ grips. However, they must have been designed for this backlash, because they barely even wobbled at his desperate flailing. In defeat, his feet dragged along the ground as you disappeared from his sight once more. He felt weak for not being able to be there for you. It disappointed him, but also made him suddenly malicious.
They turned the corner from before. He hadn’t even been able to find out what was going on, let alone get a good look at you. “Let go of me, you idiots!” he shouted at the bots, causing a few curious heads to poke out from side doors along the hallway before withdrawing quickly. “I’m not the problem here, I’m here to protect her!”
“Sir,” one said in a monotone voice. “We have been called to take you away from this section of the Apex Legends Facility and return you to the Legends’ section of the building due to disturbance.” Revenant growled. No, that couldn’t happen, not when you were in trouble. He could sense it from you since he had first seen you in the hospital bed. He flailed in their grip once more as they neared the entrance, his feet still dragging and causing scratches along the marble floor. What a pathetic way to get kicked out.
The doors swung open around him, and the two bots literally threw him out. With a dull thud, he landed on the carpeted floor, sprawled limbs and all. Sitting up, he saw the MRVNs stare at him for a moment from the doorway, as if thinking, or pitying him, before one of them rolled back inside. The other one turned to follow, but Revenant yelled at it. “Wait.” The bot hesitated before rolling back around. He sighed deeply, already annoyed at where he had currently gotten himself. The fact that he was about to lower himself to a MRVN like that stupid Pathfinder’s level made him fume. But if it was what it took to get back to you, then he would do it. 
“Listen,” he growled out. “Do me a favor. Come and get me once that girl in the room you guys took me away from is out of surgery, at the very least.” He felt his voice grow slightly more weak towards the end of the sentence, and he internally cursed at himself for it. What a meek, pathetic thing he was becoming, all for you. 
The MRVN cocked his head to the side. “I see.” he said, a more curious tone laced with his original monotone one. “So this person is special to you?” Revenant growled but didn’t say anything more. Partially because if he did, he would be a sputtering mess, and he wasn’t ready to make a complete fool out of himself any more than he already had. The MRVN just laughed in his ‘robotic voice’ before saying, “I will. But only if you don’t disturb half of the hospital again.”
“I don’t make promises.” Revenant said in a low voice. The MRVN’s screen on its chest broadcasted a suspicious face. 
“Fine then, if you don’t want me to tell you-”
“Alright, alright, I’ll make sure not to cause a disturbance again.” Revenant said in a temper, hissing the word ‘disturbance’ and adding emphasis on every vowel. Nodding approvingly, the MRVN rolled back inside the hospital, the swinging door shutting with a calm but seemingly final thud. Revenant couldn’t help but sigh as he stood up from his graveling position on the floor. How pathetic he must’ve looked. “Stupid MRVNs.” he muttered, walking up to and leaning against a sidewall right outside the hospital doors. He would wait there until you were out of the surgery and safe. Well, as safe as you could be without him.
Then a difficult thought hit him. What if you didn’t make it out? What if something went wrong, and you found yourself dead? As much as Revenant wouldn’t like to admit it, he would be devastated. Looking into his emotions, he was still surprised at how he had become so close to you so quickly. It was like he had known you for ages, despite it only being two days. 
However, something drew him to you, some connection that couldn’t be explained by him. He felt the need to protect you, it seemed like that was his only purpose, his only motivation at this point. All he knew was that if something happened to you, it wouldn’t be the same as past ones who had left Revenant’s life. You were special; knowing you were gone would be more difficult than anything the bot had ever faced.
—---------------------------------------------------
You woke up again, vision blurry, and watched as your father continued pulling things out of you. It was too much. Sweat ran down your face, vomit was matted into your hair and crusted around your mouth, and there was blood. Too much blood. You felt yourself gag, but nothing came out. You were empty. Literally. 
You had been passing in and out of consciousness, and it seemed impossible to do so while unconscious in reality. But evidently anything was possible in dreams, especially reliving the past. You warily looked around, but there were no police, no people, no other lifeforms in the room other than for your dying body and your father. “Ah, ah, ah, more organs!” he cried out excitedly, and you felt yourself shudder. Eyes gleaming, he plunged his hands into you, and you winced at the squelching sounds that emerged from your open body. How were you not dead yet? Would your dream keep you alive until you woke up? Would you have to endure this torture for days?
His hands grasped onto something, and he pulled. You yelped out as a shock ran through your whole body, stinging you internally. He pulled again, and something snapped. You howled in pain. It felt as if you had been electrocuted and set on fire at the same time. You writhed on the table, but the burning sensation continued all over. You felt blood running down your sides, and you felt yourself fading fast. No, you couldn’t die, not now. You had to live, you had a life. The games. Your friends. Revenant. Revenant.
Enough! You roared out, thrashing until your hands began slipping out of their constraints, mixtures of sweat and blood helping slide them free. You would get out of here, whether with your own sheer will or uncanny luck. Your father clutched whatever he took from you in fear as you began to sit up. Your remaining insides that weren’t already on the floor sloshed out of the gaping hole in your stomach, but you didn’t feel. You were too numb and either way, you knew it wasn’t reality. You would be traumatized, but you would still be alive in the end.
Using your hands, you wedged your fingers into the cuffs fastening your feet to the table, and with inhuman strength, the iron snapped in half, freeing you completely. Your father was currently backed up against the wall, watching in horror as you slid off the slick table and began to stand on two wobbly legs. You were almost completely empty now, and your vision was throbbing with your pulse as your eyes locked on this man. You would kill him. 
You stumbled forward but regained balance as you took one, two, three steps towards him. He was shrinking, and it was either your mind playing tricks on you, or you were growing. Grabbing the sharp blade laying on a tray on the counter, covered in your blood, you stumbled another step forward before lifting up the blade. “No, wait-!” your father, no, this stranger pleaded at you. He covered himself poorly with his arms, but you didn’t stop.
Stabbing down the blade, it planted itself square into the top of his head, and he immediately slumped over. Good, you hit somewhere vital. You shoved it deeper, and blood emerged, pouring down the dead man’s body and onto the floor. His blood mixed with yours, leaving bright red pools of blood tainted with his ruby red liquids. As it seeped through his hair, over his face, down his lab coat, the image gave you a bittersweet feeling.
After a moment your senses regained, and all your pain came back along with regret. You fell to the floor, tears bubbling up as you leveled yourself with this man’s face. It was silly, this wasn’t reality; he was already dead. To you. To the world. But the more you understood the severity of what you had done, the more the tears emerged. He was once someone you knew, someone you loved. And look what he had become. Sure, he had deserved it, but why did it have to be like this?
His hands unclenched, and you looked down as something fell to the ground with a squishing noise. Your breath hitched as you realized what it was. The thing still beat, throbbing every few seconds. Veins pulsed gently along the piece of meat, slowly discoloring and making you come back to. That was your heart. Clutching your bare chest, you let out a soft cry as everything hit, the pain, the loss of blood and organs, all of it rushing over you. You fell to the ground, suddenly unable to breathe. You gasped, but to no avail. This was it, this was where you would die. And all you could think about was how you would never get to live your life. And Revenant. Poor Revenant, it’s a shame you have to leave him…
Everything went black. Was this death? Was this how you went? It seemed like everything had been normal until the last two days. What went wrong? Was it meeting Revenant? You felt your consciousness drop a level, and your thoughts became more sluggish. Were you losing control? You felt like you weren’t even aware of yourself anymore, just a presence floating around somewhere. It was a weird feeling, but a different one. Maybe this was all just a lucid dream? You had originally thought that, but you weren’t sure anymore.
Your thoughts began to slow, and the little voices in your head seemingly shut off. It was…quiet. Like never before. So this was it. This was death coming for you. It was a comforting finality. You let yourself relax, despite lacking a body altogether, and you let yourself drift away. Yes, nice and calm…
.  .  .  
Your peacefulness was broken by distant shouts. Pleading shouts. Bustling voices. Crying. What in the world-? Before you could even comprehend, there was a small buzz, and then a shout. “Clear!” Your whole consciousness was shocked, and it felt as if you had been ripped forward from the darkness. Opening your nonexistent eyes, you watched as the distant light slowly got closer and closer and closer until it was almost too bright…
Jolting awake on the metal table, you squinted, looking around at your surroundings. You were met with frantic gazes from what looked like your surgeons. Some stopped what they were doing and let out a pent-up sigh, others just looked overly concerned. One was holding a defibrillator, which made you frown ever so slightly.
“Ah, (y/n), you’re awake.” the doctor holding the reviving equipment said in a rush, putting it down in its container. “We thought we just about lost you there.” You wanted to speak so badly, to tell them they did technically lose you, even if just for a few meer seconds. You wanted to tell them about your brush with death, how you almost died because of things seemingly impossible to die from. But you held yourself back. “We had to replace a few things and set some bones back in order, but otherwise-”
“Where’s Rev?” you muttered out weakly.
The doctor paused, giving you a confused look. “I’m sorry, who now?”
You were exhausted, and in between listening and talking, you had felt yourself begin to drift off. You weren’t letting yourself fall asleep until you knew where he was, though. “I said, where’s Revenant?” The doctor paused, thinking for a moment before seeming to understand.
“Oh, him.” he said, frowning a little. “He seemed close to you, we just weren’t sure. He was escorted away from here, however.” You frowned deeply, frustrated. You just wanted to see the murderbot, feel his touch. He was your comfort. The doctor must’ve seen, because he waved his hands quickly. “Don’t worry, though, I’m sure he’ll be back.” 
You weren’t exactly listening, as you had laid your head back down completely, letting yourself slowly drift back to sleep. You were safe now, safe from surgery, safe from your father, safe from harm. There was still a dull ache in your body, but other than that, you felt pretty brand new for what you had felt like. However, it still felt like something was missing, and you knew exactly what it was. Better yet, who it was. You wanted Revenant, and he would be the only thing that would truly heal you. It was crazy how you had gotten so attached to him in such a short period of time, but right now, you needed him.

___________
The Bloodhounds’ love was as strong as the day they fell in love. 
Patience. Kindness. Understanding. Aaaaand a smidge of bullying was the delicious cocktail that was put into their romance. Ever since they were children, introduced by their parents who were both pairs of scientists. Working on the same project and wanting their children to interact. 
It hadn’t been love at first sight, no, but it had been close. 
Their love was slow and steady; But inevitable. Like a growing red-hot fire that was biding its time to cause a perfectly timed forest fire. No matter how wild it looked on the outside, it would always be something that was inevitable and beautiful. 
And yet, no matter how strong this romance. How much they loved each other so dearly- how ineffable and how unshakable. In the arena, all bets were off. Dying to sink their blades or teeth into their respective spouse to be a beautiful sacrifice to Odin. To appease the Allfather with their lover’s blood, sweat, and tears mixed with the beautiful scent of gun powder and smoke. 
Still. All lovers had their quarrels. Where that red hot love was turned into beautiful tempestuous rage.
~Rest under the cut~
Hound was the more level-headed of the two. They looked to analyze and figure out scenarios or people. They were not emotionally lead. As a leader- a Jarl of their village, and a lover to their spouse who was emotionally lead- this was a good trait. It led to fewer arguments, fewer quarrels, and fewer disagreements. More open, honest communication. 
But sometimes... 
Sometimes Rune knew just how to particularly push their buttons. 
Rune was the cheekier of the two. Pressing Hound’s buttons was their specialty; Kept the marriage ‘spicy’ they would say. It was minor irritants, nothing pressing. Sometimes they would flirt with somebody Hound knew wouldn’t be a good fit. Sometimes Rune would simply dote Hound with PDA in front of the other legends despite their abhorrence of it. Or sometimes Rune would say something a little too cheeky in front of the cameras in the arena when taking Hound down. 
Whatever it was, it struck buttons, but only to get a rise out of them on purpose. Some sort of end game to Rune’s teasing and poking. 
And today? Today Rune had pushed them a little too hard. 
Anger and rage were hard for Hound to express. Rune always encouraged them to express their feelings. Lovingly and sweetly reminding them that they were a person first and a leader second. That they could take the time to feel the dread, the rage, and the sadness that was within them. 
Today. Today Hound feels like expressing some form of it. 
Rune had pressed too hard in the arena. They were on opposite squads. It had come down to just them, their respective teammates downed. It left the two hellhounds to face off in what spectators were delighted to find would be a bloody battle. 
It was honorable. Rune had their hatchet drawn, whilst Hound had their hunting dagger at the ready. Passionate hand to hand combat. 
Intimacy without a bed to contain them. 
They both had been bloody, circling each other, carefully sizing one another up. Words were spat, taunting and loving words. Where Hound had crooned, “You have fought honorably, my love. However, we both surely know the victor of this battle. Spare yourself the humiliation now.” 
And Rune had crooned back, their voice mimicking Hound’s to a T in the arena, “Of course, beloved- except it is I that shall have you beneath me. As the gods shall will it.” 
It was classic to hear the two Bloodhounds bicker. A fan favorite from their respective sponsors. Not to mention the blood and gore the two would leave in their path. Bickering was an agreed thing when the cameras and audio could pick them both up. Filthy words limited to just when they could turn the comms off and spit quiet bets at each other. 
But it was Rune this time who breaks that agreement. When they croon something about having Hound beneath them in other ways. Of what they would do to that sweet cunt when Rune had bested them. 
It was a dirty trick. A strike of embarrassment coursing through Hound like a raw ocean wave down their lungs. It makes them falter, the perfect time for Rune to strike them down with a pound and a swift slam of their hatchet into Hound’s throat. 
It was a dirty trick and they both knew it. Especially in front of cameras. Drones that could hear them. Not that the live broadcast would broadcast such a thing, quickly muffling the audio. But it meant the other legends watching the raw broadcast would have heard. Would have seen-- 
Hound steels their jaw when they wake in the medic wing. On a mission to find their spouse after a much needed shower. 
-- 
Hound doesn’t have to look long, as they shared the same quarters within the compound. But it is Rune who is seeking them out first. Normally they would take great joy in the spoils of their win; But clearly, they have come to Hound with their tail tucked between their legs and apology written all over their body. 
Hound does not look to them as they punch in the code to their room. The door sliding open and walking in first with Rune right behind them, ducking into the doorway to get in- giant that they were. 
The door slides shut behind them, the silence greeting them before Rune’s whine reaches their ears. “My love. My beloved. Engillinn minn. My moon- I cannot begin to beg enough for your forgivene--” 
“You may start with begging.” Hound doesn’t miss a beat, turning to face Rune with a furrow on their brow. Rune looks like the picture-perfect puppy, apologetic eyes and a bowed head. It would be easy, Hound thinks, to humiliate them back. 
Far too easy. But it would not get the point across. 
A click of Hound’s tongue that resembles a tut stops Rune from beginning to beg. Having been fresh from the showers and in their civilian clothing, Hound pulls a hair tie from under their sleeve and from around their wrist. Beginning to pull their wild curls up and into a ponytail slowly, already catching the way Rune’s Adam’s apple bobs in anticipation. 
Too easy.  
Hound doesn’t miss the knitting of Rune’s brow nor the confusion or how they shift on their legs to adjust their thighs. Trained to the sight of Hound tying their hair up/ 
It’s not like Hound didn’t know, they very well knew what that simple motion could do. Trained and familiar with the sight of it before Hound would typically sink to their knees. Or take to batting their lashes up at Rune before letting their touch caress their cock. 
That’s just what they wanted. Rune’s curiosity and attention. Their anticipation. The swell in their pants. 
“I...I am begging you for your for...forgiveness,” Rune begins, distracted in their apology as Hound takes slow steps towards them. It’s a predator’s stalk, and Rune plays the perfect part of prey as they take steps back to mirror them. Until their back hits the wall and Hound is just a breath away, body close to touching theirs. “My behavior was unacc--” 
“Remove your pants.” Hound’s words cut them off. Their tone flat and a cock of Hound’s head as their hands drop from their now tied hair. They bite back a smirk when Rune’s lips stay parted, confusion and curiosity all over their face. Cute. 
“Am I...not...in trouble?” 
“Do not ask questions you know the answer to. Come. You shall sit and hold still. You shall not touch me, lest I wish it.” Hound speaks as they step back, making a come-hither motion to follow. Only pausing when they catch that mischievous look in Rune’s eye. “Do not make me bind you, Pup. I would hate for you to think your punishment is a reward for bad behavior.” 
“Of course. I would think nothing of the sort, my love. Only my best behavior to win your favor back.” Rune speaks, but their tone is fighting back a smile. Following behind Hound and only stopping to put their hands in the air in mock surrender when Hound whips to look at them. A look in Hound’s eyes promising a far worse punishment. 
Surely this could not be so bad, Rune wonders to themself. 
-- 
It’s bad. 
Rune has decided it is really bad. 
Hound decided that their little jest was too much a threat and bound Rune anyhow. Binding them in beautiful red ropes with their arms above their head but legs left free. The bindings continued down over their chest, curving over the plushness of their bare pecs and carefully knotted behind their back. 
The harness was for show, they knew that. This rope was perfectly strong enough to hold them. Carefully created by a wondrous trader back in their home village on Talos. 
Rune’s legs are spread open, their whole body trembling and glowing with sweat but their eyes focused downwards at their beautiful spouse. Hound always looked so good with something in their mouth, but even better with the expression they’re making. Frustrated at Rune for the situation, they are sure. For their words. 
Hound’s red tinted glasses have been discarded. Their fiery curls tied up into a ponytail and a few curls framing across their cheeks messily. Their leather jacket has equally been discarded, showing off the black lace bralette used as a top with their chest near spilling out with peeks of their areola. Something that makes Rune’s mouth salivate at the sight, tracing shapes of the peachy patches of vitiligo and beauty marks downwards. How their piercings make shapes in the lacy fabric. 
But the best sight has to be the way Hound’s eyes are narrowed, their good pupil in a dangerously thin slit. One arm rests across Rune’s hips, forcing their hips down with a flex of their impressive bicep. Their plump lips are currently pressing tempting, fluttering kisses across their cock. Flushed from balls to tip, leaking pre-cum with a beautiful golden ring wrapped tightly around the base of Rune’s shaft. 
Hound had edged them now five times. So many years of being in tune with them left them knowledgeable on when Rune was close- no matter how they tried to hide it. The subtle tenseness of their jaw, the turn of their head and their beautiful amber curls cascading down their body, and the way their lips parted juuust so. 
Rune was a filthy and sweet talker whenever they had sex. Shown at the beginning when they had tried to dirty talk and plead their way through Hound getting them close. Perhaps thinking over stimulation would be their game tonight. That Hound would let them cum on their pretty face and tits and paint them white- 
But the second Hound pulled from their cock to instead rest their cheek on Rune’s thigh and draw circles in their other thigh? Rune had let out a growl of dismay at the realization that the game tonight was edging. 
Rune's hips buck, their words going from pleading to hissing and frustrated. Only pausing when Hound sinks their nails into their thighs, their voice low with their reminder, “This is your punishment, beloved. You are my stress relief tonight and I shall use you like my toy as I see fit. You would not ruin my pleasure nor relief, would you?” 
“N-no.” Rune grunts out, their hips falling back to the bed with a tremble and tremor wracking their body. “No, my love. I am your toy.” It’s hard to say it, but at this point they’d do anything for Hound’s beautiful mouth to be back on them. Or their hands. Or be inside them. 
Anything. 
Hound isn’t ignorant to that knowledge either. But, Rune looks sincere. And their poor pup had been patient this whole night- if a bit impatient. 
Hound hums. It’s not as if they weren’t affected either. They’re wet, soaked through their own tight pants now. A sigh passes their lips, catching Rune’s attention as Hound begins to stand up. Hound knows they catch the sight of how wet they are the second Rune snarls, jerking in their bonds to try and get a better look at them. 
“Stay.” Hound’s voice is low, silky, and commanding. Satisfied when Rune settles back down with a weak jerk of their cock, pre-cum beading at the head and drooling down the pierced shaft. Poor thing. 
Hound hooks their thumbs in their tight pants, kicking off their boots and working out of their pants with a slow sway of their hips to keep Rune’s attention. When it’s revealed they have no underwear on, Rune mouths something obscene, their head tipping a bit to the sky and lips parting. Clearly scenting the air. 
Filthy dog. 
Hound removes the rest of their clothing with the same finesse. Taking to crawling up Rune’s frame slowly, resting hands on either side of their head and leaning in to kiss them. Meeting in the kiss tongue first as both of the Bloodhounds moan into each other’s mouths. 
Rune’s hips buck up into nothing, Hound’s weight resting on their abdomen instead to kiss them. Their hand cups Rune’s cheek, guiding them through the kiss as Hound licks into their mouth. Tasting them. Devouring them. 
When they part, Hound climbs up onto their broad shoulders, spreading their thighs and resting their drooling cunt right above Rune’s head. They keep their hips up, just out of reach and hearing just how Rune snarls under them. Rune tries to thrash their body to lean up and get even one small taste of their beloved, but ultimately fails. 
“Patience,” Hound murmurs for what must be the tenth time tonight. They reach down to get a fistful of Rune’s hair. Delicately using their free hand to stroke some stray hairs from their face so they wouldn’t get any in their mouth. A small touch of affection for obedience. 
They take note of Rune’s lashes fluttering, leaning into Hound’s touch as they gently stroke curls from their face. It makes Hound weak, a squeeze in their chest of adoration and sympathy stabbing into them. “Be kind to me and I shall be kind to you. You have been doing so well, my love. Surely you can be good a little longer, yes?” 
Rune grumbles under their breath, something that makes Hound smack their cheek. Not hard enough to hurt, but a firm enough pat to catch their attention to look up at them. “I believe you threatened to have me under you, Pup. Shall I instead take you the very same as you have threatened?” 
A cheeky smile makes its way to Rune’s lips, only to drop almost shyly like they shouldn’t smile. They flick their gaze up to Hound’s face as if gauging if they’re still mad from earlier on that slight. When they find no such rage, but amusement in Hound’s eyes, they allow the smile to return. “A threat to fuck me? You are losing your touch if that is meant to frighten me, my love.” 
A laugh is shared between them, Hound shushing them with a gentle push of Rune’s face playfully. There’s that silent communication between them. That there was no harm in it now, any frustrations had passed. The scene paused for just a moment. 
Just a moment to share. 
However, they are still in the middle of something. Something Hound reminds them both of as they shift atop Rune and lower their hips. Using Rune’s hair in their grasp to guide their head up towards their pussy. “Come. Show me how sorry you are. Be gentle,” The words come from Hound’s lips softly. “Just kiss for now. Worship me.” 
Rune whimpers, the sound desperate and wanting. But they obey, despite how much they know they could show Hound how truly sorry they were. They dutifully press their lips in a kiss to Hound’s pussy; Fluttering kisses starting from their mound, down over their engorged clit, getting their lips glossy with their slick. Slowly and surely moving their kisses from over their cunt to over their thighs in deep, hungry kisses. 
Hound sighs softly over the attention, massaging Rune’s scalp as they flutter kisses over Hound’s lower lips. Rune presses their luck now and again with an open-mouthed kiss, the slightest brush of their tongue against their heated flesh. Each time a tongue is felt, however, Hound pulls their hair lightly. A quiet warning. 
Rune only can truly do what they wish to when they begin to beg. Mumbled words of ‘please’ against Hound’s wet flesh, rumbling through their chest the more desperate they get. Especially when Hound reaches underneath their own body, slipping two fingers into their body with a gasp, then offering those fingers to Rune to lap at like a starved dog. 
It earns more whimpering from Rune, whose hips are now thrusting up into the air for something desperate to grind against. They mumble pretty pleases, quiet mumbles that they shall be good, how they’ll be such a good pup. 
How they’ll take such good care of Hound as an apology- as a thank you. 
“Have you learned your lesson?” Hound speaks softly, still keeping juuuust out of reach with a lift of their hips. They keep a good grip of Rune’s hair, forcing the taller of the two to strain in want, panting with parted lips and taking in Hound’s scent. They try their best to nod, but Hound’s grip keeps them from doing so. “Your words, little one.” 
“Yes. Yes, by the gods, Hound, yes. I will be good; I will be so good. Let me worship you, allow me to take care of you. Release me. Let me ravish you- allow me to have you- Please, please, please-” Rune’s voice is lower, lower than usual. Their natural baritone forming this lower gravel pitched whine of desperation. Their lashes brush their cheekbones with each flutter, threatening to gather tears when they look up at their spouse. 
Once more Hound’s heart squeezes and they are a helpless victim to the look that their lover gives them combined with their sweet words. But Hound knows them better. Rune is manipulative in scenarios like this, promising sweet nothings only to be freed of their grasp and ruining Hound into next week. Smothering Hound in bruises, bitemarks, and making their voice hoarse. 
So, Hound hums, thoughtful and low. They cock their head akin to a dog sizing up their prey, looking Rune over. Their flush across golden flesh, how sweat makes them glow in the dim lighting of the sun peering through the window, and just how sweet their seeing ruby red eye looks up at Hound. 
“No.” Hound says simply, watching Rune practically roar as they strain against their bonds. Their hips thrust up, trying to buck Hound off and thrash their shoulders to try and move them. To no avail; Hound was always good with rope work. Hound lets a smile flirt across their lips. “Settle yourself, Pup. I merely shall not be releasing you. I can give you what you desire, but you shall remain tied. For now.” 
The quiet promise of release on good behavior at least stops the minor tantrum. Rune huffs and chuffs much like a big cat, settling back down and looking up at Hound hopefully. Hound gives them what they want in a controlled manner, carefully adjusting their position to lower themself down to Rune’s mouth. 
Rune’s hands twitch in their bonds, clearly wanting to hold Hound’s thighs. Hound gingerly reaches up with their free hand, lacing their fingers together and squeezing to help ease their need to grab. Feeling Rune’s wedding ring press against their flesh. 
It makes Hound’s heart throb. 
Rune is a hunter of their word. They bury their face against Hound with a longing moan, their forked tongue making quick work of them. They slide their tongue from Hound’s hole up to their fat clit, sealing their soft lips around it and giving it sloppy, suckling kisses. Rune’s moans are starved, matching how Hound sighs shakily above them.  
But they both know how Hound gets. 
Those soft sighs soon turn to moans, which become whining moans filled with whimpers. Louder and louder as they grip Rune’s hair tight in one hand, their other squeezing Rune’s hand which squeezes theirs back to ground them.  
It doesn’t take long for Hound’s hips to start moving, humping Rune’s face and across their tongue. Stilling their hips to tremble shakily atop them when Rune’s lips seal around their whole cunt to sloppily lick at them. Rune’s tongue dips briefly inside of them, licking sharply upwards to their poor clit that they once again abuse. 
Rune tends to their cunt like they were worshiping them. Each open mouthed kiss on their cunt purposeful to lick at them and moan shamelessly into them. Sometimes dipping their head low enough to let their nose run across their clit so they could taste them in full. They hum contentedly, softly as if to replicate a purr just as their tongue slowly slides back up from their hole to their clit. 
The vibrations seal the deal with one more talented flick of Rune’s tongue that traps their clit briefly in the fork of their tongue. Hound cums with a sharp, snapping snarl and their head throwing back with a perfect arch of their back. Their grip holds Rune’s head in place as they cum, plentiful slick being licked up with Hound’s squirt as their body trembles and shakes. 
“Divine,” Rune moans against their cunt, muffled as they nuzzle their way sloppily against Hound. “Always so delicious, ástin mín. I cannot get enough of you.” Rune sighs, their tongue once more trying to lick its way into Hound to make a sloppy mess of them. 
Over sensitive from cumming, Hound’s hips jump, but they aren’t sure where to go. At first, they jerk away from Rune’s tongue and kisses, only to press down to try and be flush to meet their touch. A whimper leaves Hound, their legs twitching against Rune’s chest and toes curling. But they finally decide to pull up and away, looking down at the mess they’ve made of their spouse as Hound takes heavy, panting breaths. 
Rune’s face is flushed, slick smeared over their lips and nose. Their pupil is blown wide, near eclipsing the red of their iris as they look up at Hound. Their lips are parted, flushed and wanting. They looked beautiful. 
Too tempting... 
Hound sighs shakily as they climb down Rune’s body to straddle their waist. They reach up, leaning their torso over Rune’s face and being in reach for them to lean up and nip at their hanging breasts. Hound jumps a bit, huffing with a small laugh as Rune finally manages to latch onto a pierced nipple with a longing moan. 
“A-ah- my love, j-just a moment-” Hound’s voice shakes, trying to untie Rune’s wrists and separate the rope that went to the harness tied across their chest. Their hips jump, humping over Rune’s abdomen when Rune merely pops off one breast and moves to the next one hungrily. 
“Rune-” It’s hard to sound stern when they’re caught in a moan. However, with great effort, Hound does manage to untie them. Throwing the extra rope off the side of the bed later and not having time to check Rune’s wrists before arms wind around their body and force them to hold still so their chest can be ravaged. 
Hound grabs the headboard of the bed for balance, arching their back with a whine as Rune’s teeth worry one of their nipples. They don’t bite, merely scraping their teeth before suckling and popping off to make Hound gasp. 
Hound hardly has time to breathe before one of Rune’s arms moves from around them and slides down Hound’s body. They slip two large fingers easily inside Hound’s cunt with a hiss from both of them. 
It helps that Rune is mumbling ‘Thank you’s to them between bites of their breasts. Pounding their fingers into Hound and quirking them forward just right, curling them to make their beloved practically howl with pleasure. 
Hound’s body trembles above them, their body flushed head to toe. It feels as if they can’t breathe. Suddenly overwhelmed with pleasure as Rune’s thumb swipes across their clit with every thrust of their fingers inside. It takes no time at all for Hound to cum again, squeezing around their thick fingers and throwing their head back with a cry. 
Rune moans into their breast, lapping sloppily at their nipple without thought as their fingers stay inside them. Only moving their first knuckles in curling motions to make Hound squirm and whimper beautifully above them. 
“Rune-” Hound starts to whimper out their name, but Rune takes the hint. They come off their breast, sliding their fingers out of them and moaning in want as Hound begins to move. 
They move together without need for verbal communication. Where Rune moves on the bed to lie down and sliding their hands desperately over Hound’s flesh. Hound moves to straddle their hips, reaching back and behind them to grab Rune’s weeping cock and guiding it to their cunt with hurry. 
Rune is...very well endowed, but as they have discovered through the years, Hound didn't want too much prep for them. They liked the bite of the stretch, shown as they begin to sink down now and Rune’s hands fly to their breasts to massage and swipe their thumbs over their nipples. 
Hound’s breath hitches, their brows knitting and their hands pressing to Rune’s pecs in turn to thumb over their nipples. Always trying to one up the other. 
Rune’s moan is wanton and needy, sounding like they were just seconds from dying when Hound slowly takes them inch by inch. Rune’s mouth starts up again, their voice low and growling with each word. “So tight- so wet. You always feel so good, tunglið mitt. W-what I wouldn’t give to stay inside of you for eternity. The gods have made you to take this cock, just like this. What a sight you are for me.” 
It works just as well. Hound’s face flushes, showing more brightly on the peachy spots of their vitiligo. They turn their head to hide their blush, their body shaking and trembling as they work their way slowly down onto Rune’s cock. 
But after so many years of marriage, Rune knows just what they want. 
What they need. 
It’s why they suddenly grab Hound’s hips, holding them with a bruising grip as they force them downwards just as Rune’s hips come up to slam into them. There’s a cry from both of them, with Hound’s being startled and full of pleasure, while Rune’s is more guttural and needy. 
It burns in the best way, the stretch makes Hound’s hips jerk and twitch, their hands finding their way up to grip Rune’s shoulders with nails biting into flesh. Hound’s facial expression twists, their eyebrows knitting and teeth sunken into their bottom lip with tremors wracking their frame. 
It hits Rune what’s happened when they feel the rapid fluttering around their cock and more wetness clinging to their flesh.  
A smug look goes across Rune’s features as Hound rides the waves of their sudden orgasm. A low laugh leaving Rune as they roll their hips, feeling Hound’s nails bite deeper into their shoulders at the sudden movement. 
By the gods- there is a reason Hound tied up their spouse. 
“Look at you,” Rune breathes out in a croon, sliding their hands down over Hound’s curves and over the swell of their hips where bruises are beginning to form. “Beautiful, my love, just beautiful. What a little whore you are. Cumming just from taking me fully. I truly am blessed to see you this way.” 
“M-mind your tongue-” Hound tries to bite back, but their voice is breathless and keening; Lacking any hint of malice or venom. Tears prick at the corners of their eyes from the intensity, their heart still pounding in their chest as they try to gain the reins back in the situation. 
But Rune has been bound for too long. 
Rune moves, holding Hound close to them as they move their bodies as one. Never once leaving their body as they shift Hound to lying down beneath them. It takes some urging, but eventually Hound follows their motions to roll onto their side and hitch a leg over Rune’s shoulder. 
It gives Rune the vantage to lean down onto Hound, bending them in half and showing off their flexibility. A sight that makes Rune beam, showing off sharp teeth before delicately pressing a kiss to Hound’s ankle adoringly. 
“There you are, beloved.” Rune sighs out, rolling their hips slowly into Hound and causing their frame to shudder. “Like this. Let me take care of you. I shall show you how very apologetic I am.” 
“By breaking me?” Hound teases, peeking up coyly at Rune from their thick lashes and through messed up curls, catching the way their spouse grins lazily down at them. A furrow to Rune’s brow in contained pleasure. 
“Would you like an apology any other way?” Rune teases back, leaning further down to capture a kiss on Hound’s cheek after they brush their crimson curls from their face. A loving gesture that makes the smaller of the two smile softly to themself, turning their head to properly catch Rune’s lips in a kiss. 
“If you would like to break me,” Hound murmurs on Rune’s lips, swiping a tongue over their lips with the tip of their tongue in a quick fashion. From bottom lip to upper just to feel Rune’s breath catch. “Then do it how I like it, Pup.” 
“Fuck, Hound.” Rune growls, their voice hoarse as their cock throbs inside their spouse. Rune moves their bodies quickly, tossing both Hound’s legs over their shoulders now and pressing downwards to get into a proper position. 
Now in a proper mating press and feeling fully engulfed by the sheer size of Rune, Hound’s head throws back in preparation. Already feeling how Rune leans down into them, their long, long hair curtaining them both as Rune’s teeth sink into the crook of Hound’s exposed throat. 
They moan together, Hound’s voice louder into the open, sticky air. Rune moves fluidly with them, their hips moving in a practiced way to constantly stay inside Hound. Years of practice making them both acutely aware of how the other liked it. 
It’s why Hound’s fingers leave the sheets to instead wind around Rune’s neck, sliding one hand into their longer hair to pull on it hard enough to make Rune keen. Their other hand falls to Rune’s back, feeling the muscles and scars under their fingertips as their nails dig in and leave stripes across their flesh. 
Rune is never loud, but their words always fill that area for them. They murmur into Hound’s neck, growling in between words. “Gonna breed you. I shall fuck you raw, my love. How sorry I am- let me show you. All night. How very sorry that I am. Let me make you cum again and again and again--” 
Hound lets out a whimper against their will, their hips tilting up as best as they can in this position. They pull on Rune’s hair just to hear them groan, feeling how Rune’s hips still against them and pump in shallow thrusts just to make sure they grind against Hound’s clit. 
What a cheater. 
It works, the quiet battle falling in Rune’s favor as Hound’s over sensitive body cums first with a howl from their lips and a furrow of their brow. Rune isn’t far behind them, a snarl ripping from their lips as they press their hips as close as they can get. They cum inside of Hound, pumping them full with excess already slipping out and down onto their ass, down onto the bed. 
The rest of the night is filled the very same with Rune fucking Hound in any and every position they can think of. On all fours, against the wall; In between each round Rune likes to clean Hound up with their tongue, fingers pushing their cum back inside Hound numerous times. Fucking them sloppy with their fingers and then their cock. Then using the very same as lubricant to fuck their ass. 
The whole time Rune tells them how sorry they are, how much they love them. They fuck Hound until their mind is empty, no longer remembering why they were even mad in the first place. 
How could they be mad, after all, when Rune was showing just how sorry they were each time? 
By the Allfather, Rune was relentless. Even during clean up time in the shower, they nursed Hound’s pussy with their tongue. Kissing, licking, dragging their tongue across their flushed flesh and making Hound shiver and shake, clinging to Rune’s hair desperately with shaking legs. 
Even when ice had been applied to help Hound get feeling back in their clit and reduce swelling, somehow that wound up with even more touching from Rune. Ending the night with a nursing session where Hound is straddling their thighs and Rune is bent to worship their breasts. Leaving Hound’s cunt drooling with slick in their pajama pants that are quickly slipped off so Rune can rub and jerk their clit off with each swipe of their tongue over a nipple. 
It’s the most solid sleep Hound gets in months, that’s without a doubt. 
In the morning, when Hound awakens, it is to Rune gently brushing their hair back and kissing their forehead. Murmurs are exchanged, with Hound reaching up silently and Rune taking the welcome embrace. 
“I’ve made you breakfast,” Rune murmurs softly after a few moments of peace, nosing their way against the top of Hound’s head and inhaling their scent. Their next words are playful, spoken with a smile growing on their lips. “Can you walk? Do I need to carry you?” 
Hound huffs this exasperated sound. A bite back on their tongue about how Rune could have fucked them harder. But as soon as they go to stand, they soon eat their words they’d said in their mind, stumbling and almost falling to their knees. Thankfully, Rune catches them by the waist, tugging them back onto their lap and grinning against Hound’s neck. 
“Do not be stubborn, Hound. I am happy to help.” Rune finishes with a kiss to Hound’s lobe, hearing the smaller of the two’s groan as they move to wind their legs around Rune’s waist. Looping their arms around Rune’s neck as huge hands cup under their ass to carry them down to the feast they had prepped for their mate. 
All of Hound’s favorites; Even if everything Rune made was their favorite. They thank their beloved with a kiss at the corner of their mouth, murmuring on how everything smelled delicious and how thankful they were to have them. 
Rune’s shy smile and the duck of their head is enough to warm Hound’s heart. But the nuzzle they brush across Hound’s nose seals the deal with the silent kiss. 
No. They could never stay mad at them for long. 
Their love was just as strong as the day they had fallen in love, after all.

Apex Legends - Season 8: Mayhem
Season Release Date: February 2nd, 2021 Platforms: Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
Tumblr media
Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale-hero shooter game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. The game is set in the same science fiction universe as Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall series, with several characters from the Titanfall series appearing either as minor characters or playable Legends. Before a match, players form into two- or three-player squads, and select from pre-designed characters with distinctive abilities, known as "Legends". In "Battle Royale", up to 20 three-person squads or 30 two-person duos land on an island and search for weapons and supplies before attempting to defeat all other players in combat. The available play area on the island shrinks over time, forcing players to keep moving or else find themselves outside the play area which can be fatal. The final team alive wins the round.
I was privileged to join the revered Respawn Entertainment Apex development team mid way through 2020 as a gameplay generalist that spent time prototyping and pitching new weapon and legends ideas. This allowed me to grow my design skills in other areas of the discipline and learn from leading industry creators!
As scope and season requirements where laid out for the Season 8: Mayhem deliverables, I was asked to further stretch both my design and technical skills by developing new game mode modifiers for the Season's events. This work included pitching, prototyping and rapidly playtesting new ways to shake up the Battle Royale formula - nothing was off the table. Numerous game modes were prototyped, tested and iterated on. We ended up landing on 5 solid ideas that were each unique in which parts of the game that they changed or altered. They each were a huge hit with players and the internal dev team alike; creating fun and engaging new ways to the play "Battle Royale".
These game modes launched at the end of the season 8 under the War Games Event! Each game mode breathed fresh life into the standard "Battle Royale" experience, promoting new strategies and squad tactics for players to explore. Each game mode was only live for 2-3 days over the course of 2 weeks, shaking things up for players and paying homage to the season's theme. Check out the War Games Event Trailer below!
youtube
Here are the 5 Game Modes and their mechanics:
Second Chance
In this modifier, each Legend is granted one free respawn per match. Once a Legend is killed, their Respawn Token is consumed as they rise again from their current location retaining all their weapons and gear. After a short duration, the player respawns high in the air to skydive back into the action.
Ultra Zones
Shake up your ideal drop strategy with Ultra Zones! Ultra Zones introduce the concept of multiple Hot Zones within a single map. More epic loot, more gold items! But wait, there’s more! Each Hot Zone is enveloped in a Flash Point—a returning feature from a Season 6 LTM. For those who don’t already know, Flash Points are enormous, glowing bubbles that replenish your HP and shields when you stand in them.
Auto Banners
In this modifier we’ve made a rather small but spicy change to squadmate respawning. Your Squadmates Banner Cards are automatically retrieved! No need to loot their death box to retrieve their Banner Cards, just head straight to a respawn beacon. The loot pool has been altered to contain more Mobile Respawn Beacons too.
Killing Time
Feel the pressure with Killing Time. This event speeds up the match as Legends fall. During a round, whenever a Legend dies, the round time is reduced. If any given round is a massacre, you can bet that ring will be closing real quick! Keep an eye on the round timer and the ring in this modifier.
Armor Regen
Your armor regenerates over time at a rate of 12 points per second. Whenever you take damage, your armor will begin regenerating after an 8-second delay. This delay is doubled to 16 seconds if your armor gets cracked (reaches zero). One last thing for this mode: there are no Shield Cells in the loot pool!
Below is some footage of a prominent APEX Streamer playing the Second Chance game mode. Enjoy the chaos!

Team Bishop (Josh Bishop, Wes Barkley, Pandemonium, Tom Lawlor, Mance Warner, Riley Ishimori, Jon Moxley, & Violent J) vs Team VENY (VENY, The Dark Triad, Sister Abigail, Syn, Tre Lamar, Yuki Kamifuku, Aja Kong, Atsushi Onita)- MPW Draft Elimination Tag:
MPW is known for it’s sometimes weird matches, and sometimes weird pairings, it maybe gets no weirder than when the annual draft tag comes along, where the two biggest adversaries in MPW at the time get to select absolutely anyone they want, to lead them into an eight on eight elimination tag team match. Our team captains this year, the MPW World Champion, VENY, and the #1 Contender, Joshua Bishop, got to pick absolutely anyone they wanted… and now we’re here. Josh Bishop selected close friends in Wes Barkley & Pandemonium, old rivals in Riley Ishimori, Mance Warner, and Tom Lawlor, a wildcard in Jon Moxley… and for some reason, Violent J of the Insane Clown Posse. No one ever claimed Bishop was a sane man. VENY grabbed all three of her Dark Triad comrades with one pick, something we’re still not sure how she pulled off, before then selecting old friends Tre Lamar & Yuki Kamifuku (One wonders how they feel about it), the Fallen’s Sister Abigail & Syn, and Japanese wrestling legends Aja Kong and Atsushi Onita. 
A weirder match in MPW, perhaps, you will not find. 
Josh’s team finishes up their entrance, and gather on the ring apron, as Daniel Garcia waits in the ring to see who’s going to be the first person to step up. Syn & Abigail are standing on the apron, whispering to each other, apparently deciding to keep secrets from the rest of their team- as one would probably expect from the two of them. 
Josh Bishop, the team captain, is the first man into the ring, and Garcia finds himself actually taking a step back, perhaps even intimidated by the large #1 contender. The Intense Icon, the apex predator of MPW, has ran through pretty much the entire roster, and we wouldn’t blame Garcia if he was afraid of being next. 
The two men began to circle one another, before locking up in a collar and elbow tie up. Bishop quickly got the advantage and pulled Garcia into a headlock, which Garcia quickly got out of by sending Bishop off the ropes. Bishop came back and knocked Garcia down with a shoulder tackle, being the larger of the two men, one would assume he would have the power advantage in this one. Bishop waited for Daniel Garcia to get back up again, and ran off the ropes, looking for another shoulder block, but Garcia dropped down, and Bishop hit the ropes again, this time on the rebound Daniel tried to leapfrog Bishop, but Bishop stopped short before he could, before attempting to throw a clothesline, which Garcia ducked, before Garcia ran off the ropes, and caught and dropped Bishop with a shoulder block! We were all even here in the early going! 
Garcia ran off the ropes again, and this time it’s Bishop who drops down, mirroring what Garcia did before. Garcia stepped over and on the rebound, just like how Garcia had done, Bishop tried to leapfrog, but rather than stop short, Daniel caught Bishop in midair, before driving him to the mat with a powerslam! Bishop got up clutching his back, and Daniel hit the ropes again, before charging Bishop and sending him over the top rope and to the outside with a clothesline! Garcia didn’t stop his momentum, hitting the ropes again all without stopping, and dove underneath the middle rope, taking Bishop out with a low suicide dive to the outside… but Bishop catches him! Bishop plucks Garcia out of midair, before lifting him up and slamming him into the ring apron! The strength of Bishop is UNREAL! 
Bishop gets Garcia back into the ring, and nails Garica with a huge chop, causing Garcia to stumble back across the ring, running to his corner, and tagging Syn! Syn looks almost offended that Garcia apparently decided it was his turn in this match, but after VENY, Blackwood, and the new MPW Fatales Champion, Mei Sugura, all shouted at him to get into the ring, Syn does so hesitantly. Syn and Bishop stare each other down for a bit, one of the most storied rivalries in MPW, but Syn apparently wants no part of it here tonight: 
“I’ve seen enough of you, give me the fucking clown.” 
Syn points right at Violent J, who looks a bit surprised he’s being asked for directly. The painted clown reaches his hand out to Josh Bishop, and the Juggalo Championship Wrestling champion tags in the owner of Juggalo Championship Wrestling, here comes Violent J! 
Violent J gets into the ring, and Syn smirks and points to the ropes. “You wanna play wrestler tonight? Hit the ropes, fatass.” 
Violent J does just that, slapping his chest a few times to fire up, before hitting the ropes, going for a shoulder block… and actually dropping Syn! 
Syn gets back up, and immediately falls back down, and rolls back out of the ring, clearly a little surprised and frustrated that he was actually just taken down by a non-wrestler. Abigail jumps down from the apron, and tries to calm down her beau, but Syn’s clearly upset. The words of his lover seems to calm him down though, and he takes a deep breath, giving Abigail a kiss, before sliding back into the ring, and trying to charge at Violent J, but Violent J catches him, and lands an atomic drop! Syn clutches at his tailbone, and wiggles around awkwardly in pain, before he turns around, and gets caught by a big right hand from Violent J! Syn stumbles into the corner, and Violent J tries to go after him, but Syn catches him with a boot to the gut. Syn makes a blind tag to VENY, and then charges Violent J, but J catches him with a boot to the gut, before he manages to lift Syn up and plant Syn with a snap suplex! That was unexpected!
What’s perhaps even more unexpected, at least from Violent J’s peAjaective, is when VENY, the legal competitor, charges into the ring and catches him upside the head with a Big Boot! Violent J might be out cold as VENY hooks the leg!
1….2…3!
“Violent J has been eliminated!” 
In a match of 15 wrestlers and one musician, we’re down the musician, as Violent J has been eliminated. The crowd, apparently with a decent amount of juggalos tonight, starts booing as VENY flips them off, before tagging in Tre Lamar. Riley jumps into the ring to oppose him, and now it looks like we’ll be seeing some action of the high flying variety. 
The two locked up, Tre perhaps using some of the teachings he’d learned from Johnny Gargano, Dominic Garrini, and Alex Shelley, was able to take advantage and pick the arm, twisting it and gaining wrist control over Riley. Riley struggled but managed to twist through, and pull Tre into a hammerlock behind his back. Riley wrenched on Tre’s arm, and Tre tried to reach back and pull her into a headlock, but further wrenching of the arm prevented this. When that angle didn’t work, Tre went about twisting out of the hammerlock, and trapping Riley with a hammerlock of his own, but it didn’t last long before Riley twisted out of that hold, wrung Tre’s arm, and trapped him in a wrist lock. Tre dropped down to a knee as Riley applied pressure, but Tre was quickly back up to his feet, before executing a forward roll, followed by a cartwheel, smacking Riley’s wrist to release the wrist lock, tossing Riley with an arm drag, before locking in an arm bar! Tre Lamar matching Riley Ishimori hold for hold here in the early going!
Tre tried to keep Riley down with a knee placed on Riley’s head, using it to create more torque on the arm, but Riley managed to get out from under Tre, and back to his feet. Riley sent Tre off the ropes and dropped down, but Tre rolled over Riley, getting back up, before catching Riley with another arm drag, and then right back into the arm bar! Riley managed to get back up, tossing Tre with an arm drag of her own, but Tre rolled through, continuing the momentum and tossing Riley with an armdrag back into the armbar!
Tre took a moment to flex while applying the hold, and taunt Riley as he wrenched back on her arm. “That's all you got, little girl?” He said with a smirk, which proved to be a mistake, as his grip on Riley wasn’t as strong with just one arm, and Riley was PISSED. Riley was able to roll up to her feet and twist out of Tre’s hold, before blasting Tre with a dropkick to the face! Tre rolled back into the corner to try and recover, and Riley charged him, going for a corner kick, but Tre went up and over on Riley and back into the center of the ring. Riley charged Tre, who leapfrogged her once, and on the rebound leapfrogged her again, before attempting some sort of back roll on the third one, perhaps to try and catch her with something, but Riley had it scouted and rolled forward, trapping Tre’s legs with her own and catching his shoulders on the mat for a surprise pin!
1...2… Kickout! 
Tre manages to escape another surprise pin from Riley, who once again almost caught him. It was clear Riley had been studying Tre, and learned quite a few counters to Tre’s usual offense. Tre charged at Riley again, looking like he was going to go high, before going low and sweeping Riley’s leg’s out from under her! Riley dropped to her hands and knees, before Tre stomped on one of her hands, causing Riley to pull up to her knees, clutching her hand. Tre measured before blasting Riley with a superkick to the back of her head! The kick sounded like a shotgun blast! Tre rolled Riley over for his first cover of the matchup!
1….2…. Kickout!
Riley manages to stay alive, and keep this match going. Tre pulls Riley back to her feet, and catches her with a chop to the chest, which causes Riley to stagger for just a second, before responding with a chop of her own to Tre! Tre staggered back, perhaps not expecting that powerful of a chop from the smaller Riley Ishimori, but after a second to catch his breath, Tre fires back with one of his own, but Riley ducks underneath it and slips behind Tre. As Tre turns around, he’s caught with a big boot which knocks Tre into the ropes! Tre has to grab ahold of the rope with one arm to balance himself, as he uses his other hand to check his lip for blood. While he’s distracted, Riley climbs up to the top rope, and jumps off, nailing a double stomp to Tre’s outstretched arm! Tre clutches his arm and stumbles away from the ropes, as Wes blind tags’ Riley. Riley charges Tre, looking for a tilt-a-whirl headscissors, but Tre shoves Riley off, but just as he does, Wes Barkley sneaks up behind Tre and rolls him up! 
1….2…3!
“Tre Lamar has been eliminated!” 
Chants of “2 Steps Ahead! 2 Steps Ahead! 2 Steps Ahead!” erupt throughout the building, as Tre looks around, clearly unsure of what just happened, but Wes Barkley just took Tre out of this match! VENY tries to get into the ring to charge Wes, but Wes sees it coming, leaps up, and drops VENY with a flying heel kick! VENY drops, and Wes gets her back up, sending VENY into the ropes, before rolling forward, and taking VENY down with a Somersault Lariat! VENY gets back up, stumbling, and Wes picks her up, before dropping VENY with a Maserati Driver! Down goes the champion, Wes trying to pick up what would be a huge elimination here!
1…2… Kickout!
VENY out at two! Wes pulls himself back up to a knee, and announces he’s going up top to finish this, but as Wes climbs up top, Mei Sugura runs over to try and shove Wes off the top rope. Wes kicks her off the apron, but as he turns his attention back to VENY, VENY pulls the rope, and crotches Wes on the top! VENY pulls Wes off the top, and tags in Kevin Blackwood, as VENY sets Wes up for a Pildriver, Blackwood comes off the top rope with a double stomp, The Triad planting Wes with a Spike Piledriver! Blackwood into the cover!
1….2…3!
“Wes Barkley has been eliminated!” 
Almost the second Wes gets eliminated, Pandemonium charges into the ring, and practically launches herself at VENY! Pan starts laying into VENY with a series of kicks, landing them right to the chest, before Pan spins and nearly takes Kevin’s head off with a huge Rolling Elbow! Pan grabs VENY again, and sends VENY into the corner, before Pan charges in, and nearly takes VENY’s head off with a massive running dropkick! VENY drops to her knees, and Pan hits the ropes again, before charging VENY again, and taking her head off with a massive shining wizard! VENY rolls for the corner, and Blackwood tries to catch Pan with a Superkick, but Pan blocks it, before jumping up and catching Blackwood on the jaw with a knee! With Blackwood stunned, Pan slips behind him, and throws him overhead with a huge half and half suplex! 
Pan turns around to see VENY had made a tag, and now Pan was face to face with the legend, Aja Kong. Pan and Aja circle one another, and Pan tries to pick at Aja’s massive legs, but Aja nails her with a huge pummeling blow to the back! Pandemonium drops down to her knees, clutching at her upper back in pain. Aja grabbed her and pulled her back up to her feet, before lifting her and throwing her all the way across the other side of the ring with a suplex toss! The height and distance Pandemonium got on that was shocking! Aja took a moment to flex and taunt some of the members of the audience, before marching over, grabbing Pandemonium by the hair to pull her up to her feet, before lifting and throwing her across the ring again! 
Pandemonium clutched at her back as she did her best to pull herself up to her feet in the corner, the entire time, Aja stalking from across the ring. When she had gotten back to her feet, Aja charged, looking for a splash, but at the last second Pandemonium managed to roll out of the way, leaving Aja to crash hard into the turnbuckles! Aja clutched at her chest as she stumbled out of the corner, and Pandemonium began to kick away at her left knee, doing her best to cut down the gigantic redwood that was Aja Kong. Aja swatted at her to try and get her away, but each time she ducked her swing and returned fire with more kicks to Aja’s legs, before getting in close and catching her with a couple of shots to the midsection, before finishing off the combination with a dropkick to Aja’s knee, which caused Aja to drop down to a knee. Pandemonium quickly took advantage, jumping on Aja’s back to lock in a Rear Naked Choke!
Aja stood back up, and tried to pull her arms off from around his neck, but was having little success doing so, the big man quickly fading as she squeezed tighter, cutting off blood flow to the brain! Aja gave up on trying to pull her arms apart, however, and moved on to cheaper tactics, reaching behind herself and grabbing a handful of her hair, and pulling hard, which caused her to release the hold somewhat, allowing Aja to toss her off of her shoulders and down to the mat with a thud! The referee got on Aja about not pulling the hair, but Aja simply pushed him aside as she moved to deliver a couple of stomps to her downed opponent. Aja then dragged Pandemonium back into the middle of the ring, laying her out flat, before running off the ropes and looking for a senton, perhaps trying to crush the smaller girl! However, as Aja looked to crash down, Pandemonium rolled out of the way, causing Aja to hit nothing but the mat as she crashed and burned! Aja held her back, and sat up, allowing Pandemonium the opening she was looking for. She charged Aja and nailed her across the upper body with a penalty kick, the sound of the kick echoing throughout the building!
Aja held her chest in a great deal of pain, as Pandemonium ran off the ropes to try it again. This time, however, Pandemonium was tripped up as Mei Sugura reached into the ring and grabbed her foot. Pandemonium turned around and tried to kick at Mei, but he quickly backed away, and he put his hands up as the referee came over to confront her, insisting that she didn’t do anything. Pandemonium turned back around, and tried to charge Aja, who had gotten back to his feet, but Aja caught Pandemonium and tossed her up in the air for a Back Body Drop! Kong into the cover!
1….2.. Kickout!
Pandemonium out at two. Kong tries to lift her up again, but Pan manages to escape and rolls to her corner, before making the tag to Joshua Bishop! Bishop gets into the ring, as Kong makes the tag to Onita. Bishop and Onita meet in the middle of the ring, and begin trading chops to the chest back and forth, before Onita got back up and managed to catch Bishop in the gut with a kick, before pulling Josh Bishop into a headlock, trying to squeeze down on the head of the large Intense Icon and disorient him some. Bishop manages to get his foot on the back of Onita’s leg, and switch over, trapping Onitain a headlock instead. Onita manages to send Bishop off the ropes, but on the rebound, Bishop drops Onita with a huge shoulder block, taking a second to pound his chest, firing himself up even more. Bishop hits the ropes again, and Onita drops down in front of him the first time, but as Mance gets back up, he’s unprepared as Bishop levels him with another shoulder block! It had been all Joshua Bishop here, but as Bishop looks to hit the ropes again, Jon Moxley tags himself in! 
Bishop stops and turns around, looking perplexed as Mox gets into the ring, and grabs Onita, before lifting Onita up, and dropping him with a Death Rider! Mox into the cover!
1….2…3!
“Atsuhi Onita has been eliminated!” 
Bishop practically throws Mox off Onita, and shoves Mox back, asking Mox what the hell that was all about, and why Mox felt the need to steal his spotlight. Mox shouts at Bishop for toying around, and not finishing the job, before Mox goes so far as to shove Bishop! Mance, Riley, Tom, and Pan all look amongst each other, wondering if they should step in and interfere, but before any of them can, Bishop actually shoves back! Mox, apparently having had enough, punches Bishop right in the face, which sends Bishop through the ropes, but when Mox turns around, he’s drilled by a big boot from Abigail! Abigail’s first action in this match is to take Moxley’s head clean off, and now, the Matriarch grabs Mox, lifts him and turns him upside down, before spiking Mox on his head with a huge Baptism by Fire! Goodnight, Moxley! Cover by Abigail!
1….2… 3!
“Jon Moxley has been eliminated!” 
It seems a brief argument between Jon Moxley & Josh Bishop means Jon Moxley is no longer in this match! Tom Lawlor is next to step into the ring, as Bishop is still reeling from the right hand from Moxley, and Pan actually has to pull Bishop aside to make sure he doesn’t go after Mox as Mox heads to the back. 
Tom & Abigail engage in a Collar & Elbow tieup with which Lawlor got the better of, quickly picking Abigail’s arm and twisting it into a wrist lock, before using that to transition into a rear waist lock. Abigail twisted herself around, though, and trapped Lawlor in a headlock, which Lawlor managed to break free of and take Abigail down, planting her into the mat and quickly rolling from the waist lock to a front headlock, which Abigail quickly countered by reaching her long legs up and wrapping them around Lawlor’s head, pulling him into a headscissor before Lawlor managed to pull himself up into a headstand, and then use that to flip over onto Abigail, breaking the headscissor and lock the headlock back in. Lawlor wrenched down on Abigail’s head, but she managed to twist herself around and start to find a way back to her feet, lifting Lawlor up with her and trying to gain wrist control, managing to do so and trying to hit Lawlor early with a Famemaker, but Lawlor drops down underneath, dodging it, before slipping behind Abigail, and blasting her but a clubbing blow to the back! 
Abigail flinched from the impact as Lawlor separated himself, a smirk on his face, knowing he got the better of that exchange. Abigail huffed, not a fan of being made a fool of, and glared at Lawlor as she came face to face with him, before putting her hand under his chin to give herself more clear access to his chest, before rearing back and blasting Lawlor with a chop to the chest, which made him recoil for just a second, before Lawlor rears back and blasts Abigail with a chop of his own, and now two of the hardest hitters in MPW were going back and forth, trading chops to the chest, which quickly escalated to full on, stiff as hell forearms to the face. These two were beating the shit out of each other! 
Back and forth the two went, before Abigail seized control of Tom Lawlor’s arm, trapping it in a modified wristlock. Tom tries to counter with a legsweep takedown, but Abigail rolls through and maintains control of Tom’s arm, transitioning it more into a bicep slicer, trying to soften Lawlor up with the early submission attempt! Abigail transitions into a standing armbar as Tom starts to get back up, and then transitions that to a wrist lock just to keep some semblance of control as Tom gets back to his feet. Tom manages to twist out of it though, and gain control of Abigail’s wrist, before turning Abigail around and trapping her in a reverse hammerlock, with Lawlor controlling Abigail’s front while still having the arm trapped. Abigail manages to step through, though, and trap Lawlor into a hammerlock of her own, before spinning around and instead taking control of Lawlor’s head and neck with a cravate. Tom catches Abigail with a strike to the ribs, though, breaking Abigail’s grasp. 
Abigail locks the cravate right back in, though, before Tom once again catches her with a shot to the ribs. Once again, Abigail falters, but then tightens the hold once again, putting as much pressure on the neck of Lawlor as she possibly can. Eventually, Tom just decides to lift Abigail up and tries to plant Abigail with a scoop slam, but Abigail rolls through and takes Tom down instead, keeping the cravate locked in tight! Now Tom has his back on the mat, and no longer has the leverage he once did, as Abigail continues to crank down on the neck. Tom is able to wrap his feet up in the ropes, though. Referee Jason Ayers forces Abigail to break the hold, and separates the two, allowing Lawlor the chance to get back to his feet. Tom looked a little frustrated with how that last exchange went, but the two approach each other once again, and engage in a collar and elbow tie up, jockeying for position. 
Abigail is the one to gain control this time, and tries to lock in a Dragon Sleeper on Lawlor, but he transitions it up and tries to lift Abigail up for an Over the Shoulder Tombstone, which Abigail manages to wiggle her wait out of, before slipping out behind Lawlor, but Tom suddenly charges forward, as Dominic Garrini & Kevin Ku had come from the ground, and Dom got up on the apron, Tom dropping him with a big lariat, sending Dom to the floor, but as Tom turns around, he eats a Psychosis Knee from Abigail! Now with Tom practically unconscious, Abigail establishes wrist control and lifts Tom back up, before putting Tom right back down with the Famemaker! Abigail covers!
1….2….3!
“Tom Lawlor has been eliminated!” 
Another big elimination for Team VENY, this time thanks to Abigail again, and now team Bishop has officially been cut in half, down to just Josh, Pan, Riley, and Mance Warner. But Pandemonium doesn’t seem worried about the numbers disadvantage here, as she immediately charges in the ring after VENY. VENY turns tail and slaps her hand against Kamiyu’s shoulder, bringing her… former friend into the mix for the first time this evening. It’s clear that Kamiyu isn’t having any of this, especially since Tre has been eliminated, but she has to get into the ring. Pan offers her a nod, as if understanding her dilemma, but knowing what they have to do, and begin circling each other. Into a collar and elbow, Pandemonium gets a side headlock. She grinds down on Kamiyu’s head before shifting into a standing switch, then a waistlock takedown. Kamiyu reaches up with her long legs and wraps them around Pandemonium’s head, getting a headscissors. Pandemonium kips out and slides right into another headlock. Pushing to their feet, Kamiyu sends Pan off the ropes, and knocks her down with a big boot! Pandemonium checks her mouth for a split lip or any other damage as Kamiyu reaches into her top, and pulls out a, potentially used, makeup wipe. She marches to Pandemonium with the intention of stuffing it into her mouth. With all those chemicals in there, it’s a simple, surefire way to score a huge upset by eliminating Pandemonium via… poisoning? She doesn’t get the chance as Pandemonium nails her with an uppercut, knocking Kamiyu off her feet and sending the wipe flying… somewhere. Pandemonium fires off a quick flash of forearm strikes that have Kamiyu leaning against the ropes. Pandemonium sends her to the floor before turning and running the ropes, wiping Kamiyu out with a suicide dive! Pandemonium throws her back inside the ring, and immediately starts tying Kamiyu up into the Peruvian Necktie. Kamiyu tries to struggle, but Pandemonium is such an adept submission specialist, especially when it comes to the Necktie. No matter how big or small you are, Pan will lock it in on you, but she doesn’t finish the lock in here as VENY cuts her off with a huge boot to the face!
VENY rains down right hands on her long time rival, another former friend, as VENY seems to rack those up left and right these days. But Bishop won’t let her get away with beating down his friend,and charges into the ring after her, planting VENY with a pump kick! VENY gets turned ass over ankles, seeing stars as her stars, Garcia and Blackwood, rush into the ring after Bishop. Danny jumps on his back, trying to choke Bishop out, and Blackwood knocks him to a knee with a Superkick. As Garcia jumps off Bishop, Riley springboards into the ring with a tornado DDT, spiking Blackwood, and sending him to the outside! Garcia comes from behind, and tosses her with a release German suplex, sending Riley right back to the outside! Mance enters the ring and nails Danny with a devastating eye poke. While Garcia can’t see, Mance hits a gut kick, and plants him with DDT! Garcia to the floor, and VENY avenges her underling by booting Warner over the top rope. Bishop spins VENY around and CRACKS an overhand chop to VENY’s chest, the sound like a whip cracking against skin, as Bishop nearly chops the soul right out of VENY! VENY gets knocked to the floor, the ring clearing up fast as Bishop turns around, and gets cut in half by a Spear from Syn! Syn stands up and mocks Bishop before getting knocked out by a huge roundhouse kick from Pandemonium, and you know that one had to feel good. Abigail nails Pandemonium with Psychosis, but notices there’s a big pile building on the floor. Pandemonium rolls there beside them all, and Abigail runs the ropes. She stops at the last moment to jump to the top rope, twist in the air, and take everyone out with a beautiful springboard corkscrew Moonsault! With all of the competition down, we see now that she didn’t take out everyone. Pandemonium didn’t get caught in the crossfire, and immediately grabs the other legal woman, throwing Kamiyu inside the ring. Pandemonium wastes little time knocking her silly with a huge roundhouse kick, and sinking right into the Peruvian Necktie. Kamiyu struggles for a moment, but the answer is clear. Kamiyu taps out!
“Yuki Kamifuku has been eliminated!”
Behind her, Abigail slides into the ring, aiming at Pandemonium’s head. As Pan turns around, Abigail goes for Psychosis, but Pandemonium rolls out of the way! Mance makes the blind tag as Pan catches Abigail with an atomic drop, holding her there as Mance runs the ropes, and nails Abigail with a running  boot! Mance goes to the corner and looks out at the crowd, before reaching down for his kneepad…
“Knee pad up, knee pad down!”
He does just that, before nailing Abigail with a running knee strike! Warner with the cover to eliminate Abigail!
1… 2… Kickout!
Mance posts up in the corner, setting up for the Lariat. As Abigail stands, Mance begins to charge, but she instantly drops back down and rolls right out of the ring, and out of his crosshairs. Abigail brags about her own intelligence, and the fan’s lesser extent, as Mance runs the ropes, and wipes her out with a suicide dive! Warner with right hands on Abigail, when her beau grabs Mance by the shoulder. Syn and Mance, two long time best friends, before Syn stabbed him right in the heart, and it seems that that bad blood is nowhere near dried up, as Mance starts punching Syn in the mouth! Syn takes a couple, caught off guard, before it breaks down into a slugfest. Mance breaks it up with an elbow to the top of the dome, but as he turns around, he nearly gets his head popped off by a heinous boot from Abigail! They throw Mance back inside the ring, while the Triad have Bishop, Pan, and Riley distracted, Abigail gets the wrist. Syn runs the ropes, Abigail spins him out, and they crush Mance with the Famemaker and Spear combo, the Palerunner! Abigail hooks both legs and rakes her forearm across his face as Syn stands guard!
1… 2… 3!
“Mance Warner has been eliminated.”
Garcia and Blackwood throw Bishop inside as VENY tags Abigail’s back, making herself the legal competitor. VENY gestures for Abigail to get out of her ring, and Abigail looks up at her for a moment before, surprisingly, leaving the ring with little fuss. As she joins with Syn on the outside, VENY stares Bishop down, as Garcia, Blackwood, and Mei all beat him down. They took out Pandemonium and Riley, and that’s all that Bishop has left, and VENY is reveling in it, knowing she finally has Bishop right where she wants him. Garcia and Blackwood each grab a wrist at VENY’s command, offering Bishop up as a sacrificial lamb to their Queen. VENY grabs Bishop’s chin and tells him, “You should've learned your lesson and stayed down at Thunder in Paradise, like the little bitch you are. I run this show now.” before slapping him across the face. Bishop almost grins to himself before spitting right in VENY’s face. With a deep scowl, VENY wipes the spit off and yells for the boys to finish this, and Garcia sets up for the Piledriver as Blackwood heads to the top rope, but Garcia struggles to get Bishop up. Josh just stands up, carrying Garcia on his back, and sends Garcia into both Mei and VENY with an Alabama Slam! Blackwood’s eyes nearly pop out of his head, but he tries to take Bishop off his feet by leaping at him, but Bishop SWATS him out of the air with a massive Pump Kick! Bishop hoists Blackwood up, and DRILLS him with a Bishop Bomb! Bishop stacks Kevin up!
1… 2… 3!
“Kevin Bla-”
Steve Guy stops mid-sentence with a finger to his ear. For a moment he looks confused, then surprised, but nods his head in understanding.
“I have just received confirmation from Paul Heyman…. The Dark Triad have been eliminated!”
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a second!
They were drafted as one, so they got eliminated as one! VENY looks ready to storm to the back and murder Heyman, as Blackwood, Garcia, and Mei are all escorted to the back by our referees! Danny and Mei try to argue, but facts are facts. VENY thought she could cheat the rules, but Heyman isn’t letting it slide tonight!
As VENY watches her golden ticket walk to the back, Bishop grabs her and throws her inside the ring. He’s here to finish the job, and decks VENY with another big, big pump kick. He lifts VENY up for the Bishop Bomb, giving her a preview of what could be to come next Sunday - but VENY slides off his shoulders! VENY lands on her feet, drops down, and hits Bishop right in the bean bag! In full view of the referee! Jake Clemons shakes his head as he calls for the VENY, VENY just got herself disqualified!
“VENY has been eliminated!”
It becomes apparent very quickly that VENY had another secret ace up her sleeve, as she gets herself disqualified to hurt Bishop, and Syn immediately pins Bishop to the mat!
1… 2… 3!
“Joshua Bishop has been eliminated!”
Say what you will about her, but VENY might be one of the smartest, dirtiest players in MPW right now. She never cared about leading her team to victory, or making sure she survived until the end. All she cared about was dishing one final low blow to Bishop - literally - on what’s ended up being a really shitty for the Shooters. VENY’s grinning from ear to ear as Bishop gets escorted to the back, and looks over at her remaining team members, telling them to “Finish the job… or else.” Before leaving for the back herself.
In just a matter of moments, we’ve gone from a 3 to 5 advantage on the Triad’s side, to an even two on two. Abigail and Syn, Riley and Pandemonium. We started tonight with sixteen - or, rather, eighteen if we count the Triad separately - and now we’re down to four, and it couldn't be a more poetic final four if you tried.
It’s crazy how much history is standing in this ring, and how much things have changed in the past year. Around this time, Pandemonium stood alongside Syn as he waged war against Abigail, who held onto her prodigal daughter until the very end. Now, Riley and Syn have switched sides. Pandemonium waged her own war against The Fallen, and the blood was still just as bitter between them. Riley and Pan, long time rivals, but they share a knowing look and nod to one another before they charge. Pandemonium on Syn, Riley on Abigail, forearms coming from all sides as one team tries to score the advantage. Syn counters Pandemonium and sends her to the floor, then tosses her in the barricade, while Riley beats Abigail up with swift kicks to the chest and shoulders, dropping to a knee, before knocking her down with a buzzsaw. Riley then runs the ropes, and wipes Syn out with a Tope Con Hilo! Pan grabs Syn and throws him back inside the ring. Riley turns him on his back, slips her leg in between his, and locks him into a Sharpshooter. Not a usual move in Riley’s repertoire, but we are in Canada tonight, so it felt fitting. Pandemonium crouches down next to Syn’s head, and ties him up in a Lebelle Lock, two submissions in on the Poisoned Prince! Syn struggles, desperately crying out for Abigail, since there’s nowhere for him to go. Abigail breaks it up with a big kick to Pan’s face, but Pan doesn’t go down. She trips Abigail up, and locks her into a Sharpshooter as well! Double submissions on the Fallen! Imagine if they both tapped out here, the match would be over, with Pan and Riley taking the W home for Team Bishop, but they know it won’t be so easy. Syn raises his hand like he might tap, but Abigail grabs his hand and holds it. She comforts him, whispering to each other as they struggle to stay in these holds. Something has to give, and it might be the holders, as both Syn and Abigail roll to their backs, and throw both their captives off, causing Pan and Riley to collide noggins!
With Riley the legal competitor, Syn and Abigail each grab a wrist, point to the sky, and nail Riley with Beyond the Black Wall! Syn covers as Abigail keeps watch!
1… 2 - Broken up!
Pandemonium tackles Abigail onto the cover, keeping Riley in this matchup. Abigail snarls at Pan before nailing her with a forearm, and Pan throws one back. Syn hits Pan with a forearm, and Riley hits him with a forearm. Abigail with one on Riley, Pan with one on her, a four way brawl emitting from the middle of the ring, neither party willing to give an inch. Eventually they brawl all the way up to their feet, still going back and forth, throwing haymakers, when Abigail tries to surprise Pan with a rolling elbow, but Riley and Pan surprise her instead, landing a pair of Superkicks! Syn takes them both off their feet with a double clothesline, before picking Riley up on his shoulders. Thinking about an electric chair powerbomb, but Riley reverses it into a Poison Rana, dumping Syn right on his head! Syn flops back to his feet, clearly dazed, and Pandemonium leaps, spiking him with the Kraken Krusher! Holy shit, this could be the end of Syn! Riley covers!
1… 2… Broken up!
Abigail breaks it up by kicking Riley in the head, until Pandemonium blasts her with a kick. Pan and Riley takes turns swatting Abigail all over her chest, shoulders and arms. Abigail tries to cover up, but she’s getting hit from all sides. Pan sends her ot the mat with a snapmare as Riley runs the ropes, and connects with a PK that turns Abigail all the way onto her stomach, and Pandemonium runs the ropes, connecting with a double stomp right to the back of the head! Riley’s on the apron as Pandemonium picks Abigail up with a waistlock, Riley jumps over the top rope to springboard off the middle, connecting with a dropkick, and aiding Pandemonium in delivering a German suplex! The momentum of that duo offense sends Abigail right back to her feet, and Riley rolls her over the top rope. Abigail hits the apron and starts to pick herself up as Riley runs the ropes, looking for that Suicide Spear - but Abigail moves and catches Riley on the side of the head with Psychosis! Riley is out on her feet as Abigail quickly maneuvers back into the ring. Pan is ready for her, but doesn’t know Syn has just slid into the ring behind her, until he’s taking her head off with a Big Rig Lariat! Pandemonium gets kicked out of the ring as Abigail throws Riley to the center of the squared circle. Standing on opposite sides of the ring, Abigail and Syn both charge her, connecting with a rolling elbow and Big Rig Lariat, squashing Riley in the middle! If she wasn’t out cold after that, she definitely will be here, as Syn lifts her up, and drills her with Neurotoxin! Abigail keeps a feisty Pandemonium at bay as Syn hooks both legs to score the advantage!
1… 2… 3!
“Riley Ishimori has been eliminated!”
Pandemonium tried to push Abigail into the cover to break it up again, but she’s too late, and Riley gets escorted to the back. Now, Pandemonium finds herself in a handicap match against one of the most dominant forces in MPW. As a tag team, a faction, or one their own, Syn and Abigail are a major threat, and Pandemonium is going to be in for the fight of her life.
Pandemonium goes ham, firing off on Abigail with loaded punches. Syn grabs her to pull her off, but Pandemonium slaps the holy HELL out of Syn, nearly putting him on his ass! She turns around and does the same to Abigail, the sound like a gunshot going off in the Threatre. Syn plays dirty and rakes her eyes, desperately trying to get the advantage, and now the beatdown begins. Pandemonium tries to cover up as she’s kicked, punched, beaten down to the mat. Pandemonium fires off punches to their stomachs, their legs, doing her damndest to fight back, but in the end, it’s no use. She gets overpowered, beaten down, and it may just be the beginning of the end of the Iron Heart.
Syn climbs to the top rope as Abigail keeps a handle on Pandemonium, nailing her with a couple shots to the back to keep her complacent. Once Syn is perched, Abigail pops Pandemonium up, and Syn catches her, and drops them to the mat with an avalanche Powerbomb! Syn rolls her back to her hands and knees as Abigail comes off the ropes, and CRUSHES Pandemonium’s head into the mat with Starfall! Syn flips her over and hooks the far leg, this could be it!
1… 2… KICKOUT!
SHE KICKS OUT AT TWO! Syn and Abigail can’t believe it, the arena can’t believe it, but Pandemonium dug down deep and found a way to power out. A heart made of iron, resilience, and will, but Syn and Abigail know just what to do to squash that heart. They touch foreheads, silently communicating through touch, when Syn slides out of the ring. Abigail circles Pandemonium, stomping all over her body with her signature Garvin Stomp, as Syn… has found a steel chair. It was only a matter of time before Syn took it hardcore, but he isn’t actually allowed to do this. If it means stomping out Pandemonium, then it seems to be worth the risk….
Sliding into the ring, Clemons tries to warn Syn, telling him not to do this, but Syn flips him off, and cracks the chair over Pan’s head! Pan goes down like a sack of bricks, Syn keeps walloping her all over with the chair, and Clemons calls for the bell! Syn got himself disqualified!
“Syn has been eliminated!”
Now that Syn is no longer a legal competitor, Clemons tries to take the chair from him and get him to leave the area, but Syn hits Jake Clemons with the chair! That’s a senior official! Win or lose, Syn is definitely walking to the back with a fine with his name on it!
But of course, that’s the last thing either of them are thinking about. As we’ve seen, Abigail’s pockets run deep, but not as deep as her hatred for Pan, or her need to win. Now that the referee is, conveniently, out, it’s time to turn things up a notch. Syn sets up a table on the outside, right next to the apron, and Abigail kicks Pandemonium out to the apron. She gets Pandemonium upside down, thinking about a Piledriver…..

XDefiant By Ubisoft
Over the last few days I got to try the closed beta for Ubisoft's next free to play title, Xdefiant. And in this blog I want to share my thoughts on the game and how I feel about its future.
The first thing that grabbed me about the beta was, despite the few bugs and server issues there was a fully fleshed and decent-looking game. That offered a fun experience that left me wanting more, and in its state I don't think a full release isn't too far away. So what type of game is Xdefiant? Well from what I played it kinda feels like a cross between old school call of duty, and the tactical hero based shooting of overwatch. Essentially you pick a character from a roster of iconic Ubisoft ips, each with there own abilities, kit them with a weapon load out and then jump right In. The game modes available in the beta were simple base defence type modes and a push objective mode, there was also a linted hot shot mode that I didn't get to try sadly.
As it's a beta I'm happy with what was on offer as each game mode was fun, fast paced and the maps played out from some iconic locations and I enjoyed it. But I hope there is more expansion of the game modes at launch, I was actually hoping for a good old team deathmatch mode as I'm nor very good with objective based challenges haha. What I did enjoy a lot about the matches I played, was how fast paced and tactical they felt, there were a lot of moments where I had to choose when and where was the best place to drop my abilities. And as confirmed by one of the lead team members on twitter, there was a lot less bunny hopping so gun fighting felt fair and wasn't a challenge of how to hit a bouncing kangaroo with a gun. And this could be a big win for the game, as I feel games where players can bunny hop out of range is annoying.
So with a lot of positive experience with the game, I feel the future is bright for this.little game but it won't be easy. First of speaking from a console point of view as that's where I play, there isn't too much competition for a free hero based shooter, the only 2 games I know of that feel similar are overwatch 2 and rogue company. But Xdefinet doesn't feel like any of them, it feels unique and its own thing, so with this in mind unlike Hyperscape that had to compete with other big battle royals, like fortnite, Apex legends and War zone. There isn't room for this game to fail by being dwarfed by bugger games, and this puts less pressure on the devs to try and do something better than what's on offer.
But there are 2 areas I feel this game could stumble with, the first is the biggest one in my opinion and that's transparency. For any game to succeed players and communities need a little transparency on bug fixes, known issues and updates to playlists and features. What I saw during the beta gave me hope, as the twitter socials were very active in spreading news about the server issues and responding where they can. If they can do this on a more manageable scale for them, I could see there being a tight knit community around the team that feels heard by the developers. The second issue that I know feels odd to be less important than transparency is monetisation. All free games need to make money as games aren't free, and with hero shooters there are 2 pitfalls that I don't want the team to fall into. First is the hero's only earnable through cash, this is a big issue as It can tip the game into pay to win territory. And pay to win is essentially how it sounds, giving advantage to players.with cash this can form a sorta of meta where non paying players use free heroes and skilled players with cash can use bought hero's. This creates an unfair balance.
The second pitfall is non-earnable currency. We can guess the bread and butter of this game's monetization will be cosmetics and battle passes. These have been proven to be successful and fun in certain games, but sometimes players may not have cash at hand to get a new skin or a shiny emote. So having events where players can earn currency could be useful then that way both paying and non paying players can invest in skins and potentially battle passes.
Overall I think this game is already on track to success, what I played in the beta was a lot. more than I expected. It was fun, fast-paced and tactical, there are also plenty of Ips in the Ubisoft portfolio they could.dip into, and this makes me excited to see what's on the horizon for this game.

Which Game Has the Most Players Who Are Active?
The top five most-played games are Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Fortnite, Roblox, Apex Legends, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Even while every one of these games has its personality, they all have one thing in common: they draw in a considerable number of players. It's a good idea to know which game has the most active player population. This is important to keep in mind since it might help you decide whether or not a particular title is appropriate for you.
Multiplayer first-person shooter Apex Legends is accessible on a variety of platforms. Both the Windows PC and the Nintendo Switch support it. One of the most profitable games on the market, the game has gained popularity. In 2021, the game was anticipated to earn over $1 billion.
EA has also benefited from this game; in the third quarter of the fiscal year, its revenue increased by 30%. However, the game's matching mechanism has drawn criticism. Some gamers complain that the game is becoming boring and has too many problems and flaws.
Although Apex's user count is unofficial, research by Active Player suggests that it has over a million daily active players, the bulk of whom play the game on their smartphones. Overall, platforms translate to 10 million gamers.
One of the most played video games in the world is Fortnite. Every every day, it boasts millions of gamers. Its stats are sometimes accurate, nevertheless.
Fortunately, Epic Games has tools that let you estimate the number of Fortnite players present at any given time. These stats enable evaluation of the game's overall performance. Several things influence the player count. Some gamers could use many accounts or switch between various platforms. Additionally, the number of players may rise during seasonal patches or specific events.
Even though no official Fortnite player numbers have been made public, there is a lot of conjecture about the game's user base. For instance, the typical Fortnite user logs around 20 hours of gameplay per week.
The number of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players has just risen to a record high. According to the information given by the gaming website Steam Charts, the game hit a million milestones on Steam this past weekend.
Since August of last year, more gamers have been playing at once, and this past weekend, a new record was broken. On August 17, Steam said that there were 1,039,889 gamers overall. More than four times as many people are playing CS: GO at once, making this the most concurrent player the game has ever seen.
The most popular game on Steam is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which has over a million active players at once. Additionally, it is the first game to do so in the last seven years. A large number of people utilize the free-to-use online game platform called Roblox. Users of the platform may develop their games and communicate with other players in a virtual environment. In-game game creation and sale also enable them to make money.
Roblox is well-liked around the world. Users may use desktop and mobile devices to access the platform. The business said users engaged for more than 3.8 billion hours in the first quarter of 2022.
On average, Roblox users play games for 156 minutes each day. On the website, there are more than 40 million unique games.
The majority of users are children between the ages of 9 and 12. Compared to other video game players, this demographic is younger. One of the world's top MOBA games is called Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. 500 million+ people have downloaded it. Seven distinct ranks are available. You may create a team or play with your pals.
The Chinese business Moonton first came up with the idea for the game. They have locations in Singapore, China, and Indonesia.
One of Southeast Asia's most popular esports games is Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. It has 78 million monthly gamers as of March 2021. It also reached a daily high of 8 million.
Over the last seven days, it has consistently been among the top three games downloaded from the App Store. It also led the esports charts in Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
Playing Mobile Legends is cost-free. Diamonds are earned by players and may be exchanged for Google Play gift cards or game cash. One hundred thirty-nine nations have access to the game.

Super bomberman r online ps5
Tumblr media
#SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE PS5 PS4#
The Premium Edition, meanwhile, adds 14 characters that are loosely categorized as Attack, Speed and Unique types. On the flip-side, his movement speed starts at zero and tops out at two. Red, meanwhile, starts at fire level five and can reach level eight by picking up fireball items throughout the game. He can only lay a single bomb at the start of the game, though, and his maximum bomb-laying capacity is two. Black starts with level five movement speed, for instance, that can be upgraded mid-match to level eight. The base game comes with eight basic Bombers - White, Black, Blue, Pink and so forth - that have slightly different attributes. The game’s complexity increases when you consider the various Bomberman characters. You can gain new abilities, too, that let you punch, lift and kick bombs that haven’t yet donated. I learned that the fireball pick-up, for instance, increases your bombs’ blast radius, while the rollerskates improve movement speed. As a relative newcomer, though, I was bamboozled by most of the items and had to slowly figure out their utility on my own. Bomberman veterans will recognize most of the power-ups and instantly feel comfortable. An “Online Manual” is listed in the game’s menu, but the webpage it pointed to was dead during my testing. Maddeningly, Super Bomberman R Online doesn’t have a tutorial or training mode. Once you’re out, you can simply pick between spectating and jumping back to the main menu. There’s no revival system and nothing like the last-chance saloon gulag found in Call of Duty: Warzone. Take damage twice and you’ll be eliminated for good. If you get hit by something, you’ll lose one of two lives and drop everything you had collected since the start of the match. Once people start collecting power-ups, though, the action quickly escalates and the screen is filled with fiery cross-shaped explosions. Players are spread evenly across the interconnected stages, so you always have a few quiet moments at the start of every match. It’s large enough that you can easily glance across, check if your current stage is safe and, when necessary, decide where to go next. I was particularly impressed by the map overview that’s shown on the left and right-hand side of the screen. It’s an unusual structure for Bomberman, but one that effectively replicates the storm, or ‘circle,’ that slowly traps players in Fortnite, Apex Legends and other traditional battle royale games. Once the movement phase is over, the game will distribute some fresh blocks and power-ups for people to fight over. The screen flashes red, a 15-second-or-so timer appears on-screen and then, once it’s expired, some of the outermost stages are removed. The game alternates between battle and movement phases where no-one is allowed to drop bombs. The goal is simple: eliminate other players and be the last Bomberman standing. You drop bombs to remove the former, find power-ups and, ultimately, open-up pathways that expose your enemies. Each one is a classic Bomberman maze littered with a mixture of breakable and indestructible blocks. Instead, the sole offering is a 64-player battle royale that takes place over 16 interconnected stages.
#SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE PS5 PS4#
There’s no campaign like the original Super Bomberman R that was released for Nintendo Switch in 2017 and PC, PS4 and Xbox One the following year. Like Mediatonic’s smash hit, Super Bomberman R Online revolves around a single winner-takes-all multiplayer mode. Update your settings here, then reload the page to see it.

Roblox's Nuts And Bolts
Nov 19 2009 (Reuters) -- Roblox is a game for children that operates on a platform, is expected to announce a U.S. stock exchange listing before the end the year.
Here are some details about the company:
What is it? Keep calm and say ‘arrr’
Roblox is one of the most popular gaming sites for kids, with an estimated 164 million monthly active users in August, according the industry blog RTrack.
Roblox is used by three-quarters (or more) of American children between 9-12 years. This was the conclusion of an advisor to the company on Nov. 5.
The platform, which is largely composed of user-generated content, offers software downloads to create games and play them online.
It doesn't require that you be at least 18 to sign up, unlike other gaming and social media platforms.
Roblox aims at younger kids and, along with Minecraft, Fortnite and Apex Legends has seen a significant increase in use from children at home during the coronavirus pandemic.
Roblox says users have spent nearly 37 billion hours on the site since 2008.
The company announced in July that its developer community of 345,000 is expected to make $250 million in 2020, up from $110 million in 2019.
"Adopt Me!" one of the most played games on the platform, surpassed 10 billion visits in the first half of 2020, while another game that is popular, Piggy, hit almost 5 billion visits.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Roblox offers users with free access to the platform. Users earn money when players buy premium plans or "Robux," a currency they spend on outfits and other items that improve the experience.
To play with the Lego-like characters on mobile devices or computers, users will need to download Roblox. This app lets players to join chats or groups to play with other players.
To develop games for Roblox Studio, game developers must download the Roblox Studio extension.
Creators can make money by charging players to play their games, and also offering in-game purchases.
What are the SAFEGUARDS?
Roblox like other websites, provides account controls that allow parents to limit how their children interact with each with each other. It also offer additional controls for parents like limiting the kid to playing curated, pre-vetted games.
IPO PLANS
For its stock market listing, Roblox is weighing a traditional IPO or an immediate listing sources have told Reuters.
Roblox has raised $150 million from venture capital investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, earlier in the year. The company was valued at $4 billion.
What is the procedure for ensuring compliance?
Roblox as with other online platforms is not subject to U.S. regulation. The company's fraud against users and the mishandling of data regarding users under 13 are two exceptions.

Okay so. Imagine Hound likes to play their game of prey and preditor, The first time they lose is to Rune. What would that look like? How would they both react? What would Rune do to their love if they could do ANYTHING as is the rules of the game.
Cam it is FINALLY time as I get back into apex. Chanting: Horny puppies, horny puppies, horny puppi-
This ended up more of a fic so OOPS.
Disclaimer rq too to help others: Hound is the name of my Bloodhound hc and Rune is my partner's @hunterofthegods Bloodhound hc! The quick dirty explanation is that they both are Bloodhound, childhood friends to lovers, married, and both fight in the arena!
Reblogs > Likes! If you hit like/heart, make sure to reblog to support future content and make your local writer supported and happy :D
AO3 link: Here!
Fandom: Apex Legends
Relationship: Bloodhound (Hound) x Bloodhound (Rune)
Warnings: R18+/NSFT, Bloodhound on Bloodhound action, tiddy fuckin, primal play
Words: 2.3k
__________
Hound has always been into primal play. Chasing or being chased- though, no one had ever caught them before. Even in the arena, it had to be through dirty tricks. Hound was quick on their feet, ears always perked in the thrill of the hunt.
But with Rune? Rune had always rivaled them. As children, it used to be petty games of hide and seek. Rune would try to cheat, climbing trees to get out of their line of sight. But Hound always seemed to find them, laughter always filling the air.
As teens, they'd gotten trickier. Rune had gotten taller, bigger, faster. But Hound had gotten smarter. Always besting them and making Rune groan loud out of frustration.
And now, as adults, it didn't change. Hound always won. Always. Even if Rune gave them a run for their money, they never managed to get away in time. Especially when the stakes were upped. Traps now allowed, their ravens allowed to join, even knives and specialized bolas to throw and try to catch each other off guard.
Of course, there was always stakes in the game as well. Rewards for capturing the prey.
This time? If caught? Do whatever the winner pleased.
~Rest under the cut~
Rune was the one doing the chasing this time. Hound had never offered such a prize before, but seeing as how they had been the victor for ages- why not sweeten the deal?
The deal had been spoken as they had slowly straddled Rune's lap on the couch they had been perched upon. Their cold breath caressing the point of Rune's pierced ear and making it twitch. The promise, the stakes coming from Hound's lips lowly.
"If you catch me," Their voice full of promise and mischief as teeth gently nip at the sensitive ear, making Rune's breath catch and fingers flexing on the swell of Hound's hips. "Pup, I shall grant you whatever you wish. Whatever you would like to do to me- and from me. I shall be at your whim for the night."
"All night?" Rune's voice strains, their clawed fingertips toying with the bottom of Hound's top. Hound hums in confirmation, nosing at the junction of their neck lovingly with a gentle kiss placed there. "How you tease, my love. And what is in it for you, little minx?"
Hound stifles a wolfish grin gracing their lips, tracing their tongue up to Rune's ear and hearing how their sigh shakes with the cold touch. "Mmh. I believe I shall take the same offer. If I escape your clutches for the hour; As soon as golden hour has ended and only the moon can see us as we are? Then you are mine for the night."
"I would be yours like this if you only asked-" Rune begins to tease, turning their head to nose at Hound's neck who only laughs quietly to themself.
"You would whine and snap your sharp teeth the entire time. What I am offering- and asking for-, little one, is pure submission." They turn their head finally, catching Rune's lips in a soft kiss that they easily melt into. They part soon enough, nuzzling their nose briefly to Rune's. "No fighting. No dirty tricks either."
"Oh but how you love when I play dirty." Rune insists, their thumbs now tucking beneath Hound's pants to brush their claws across their hips. It entices a shiver from Hound, encouraging Rune to try to drag their hips downwards to make Hound sit in their lap.
Hound resists, but with great restraint.
They nip at Rune's lower lip before pulling from their grasp. They can see how Rune watches them dangerously, their slit pupil razor thin and a tent in the front of their pants. Hound stifles a smirk.
"Two minute head start." Hound practically croons, but watches as Rune sits up with a growl. Looking ever like royalty as Rune leans on their own thighs.
"One minute." Rune's snarl is low, their voice thick with arousal and already tried patience from the teasing.
Hound can feel the heat seep between their legs and finds a sigh unwillingly escaping their lips.
"One minute." Hound agrees, unknowing that would seal their fate. Too cocksure and arrogant with their prowess.
___
The forest is full of the loud cries of insects and the distant sounds of creatures. Talos is in spring now, wildflowers blossoming and the trees smelling sweet of their fruits and flowers. The grass is lush in the forest, the trees stretching endlessly overhead as the golden sun peeks through in rays.
Their respirator is not needed when the air is warmed. Hound's boots pound through the mud and moist earth as they run, making use of their one minute head start to put as much distance between them and the hulking giant that is their spouse.
They make sure to make their tracks hard to watch, climbing over branches and turning the direction of their boots to either smudge the tracks or look as if they've gone in another direction. Sometimes they even take to climbing the trees to make their tracks disappear, carefully transferring from branch to branch before finally jumping down.
It's only the croak of a raven sitting prettily on a branch and cocking its head to Hound do they realize just how close Rune is. Yggdrasil, Rune's raven, looking all too smug for a corvid at giving away Hound's location.
Hound runs quicker at that point in time, the sun starting to set and they can taste the sweet sweet win on the tip of their tongue. Already having plans for Rune and what they'd do to them tonight.
They duck under a heavy branch, pausing only briefly when their nose picks up a familiar scent. And then their ears perk, hearing the loud steps behind them that sound like a raging prowler.
Hound doesn't have to turn around to know Rune has caught sight of them.
Thankfully, Hound is smaller. Able to fit in tighter spaces that take longer for Rune to get through. It's their trick as they fit between the spaces of fallen trees, ducking and darting into a nearby clearing. Just past it would be thicker trees again, easier to get lost in. The price to pay for briefly being out in the open.
Their mistake is slight, the smallest weakness that nobody else would catch. Just a tiny glance over their shoulder to see if Rune had made it out of the trees. Nobody would notice it.
Besides of course the one who knew them best.
It's enough distraction to see Rune's amber hair flicking wildly behind them from the trees. Hound has to come to a brief stop when they hear a croak in front of them, Yggdrasil swooping in front of them to make Hound startle and nearly fall in the mud in the small time it took them to glance back.
Something is thrown at the same time they startle, but Hound manages to dodge out of the way of the bolas thrown at them. But that's distraction number two. They run again, nearly making it to the thick trees just as the moon starts to rise-
Hound yelps as they're tackled. Arms nestled around their waist and forcing them down into lush, thick grass and wild flowers. They don't allow enough time as they start to squirm and kick. Turning their head, their teeth sink into the nearest arm and hear Rune snarl above them. A brief jerk of their arm allowing enough release for Hound to squirm out of their grasp-
Only to have their ankle snatched by Rune and yanking them across the grass in a skid.
Rune's heavier body engulfs them, forcefully fitting between Hound's thighs and pulling their arms above their head with one hand. Rune looks just as feral and wild as Hound feels, still kicking and hissing as they thrust their hips up to try and buck Rune off. Feeling the outline of their cock heavy in their pants.
Hound realizes their mistakes quickly. In teasing Rune and offering such a tempting treat.
Teeth worry Hound's neck as Rune leans down and threatens to bite with their sharp, serrated teeth. It's enough of a quiet threat to make Hound's body still, panting heavy underneath their spouse as their eyes stare up to the moon now rising behind them
Rune won.
Rune...won.
"The prize is mine, my love." Rune's voice is thick, ragged as they trail their lips across Hound's neck. Hound shudders beneath them, huffing when Rune's hips press flush to their own. "You may fight me. I like when you're feisty."
"You are terrible-" Hound pants out, thrashing underneath Rune as they try to yank their wrists free of their tight grasp. "Dirty tricks-"
"That you have allowed in our games."
"Using Yggdrasil-"
"Again, your rules." Rune sounds amused as Hound throws a hissy fit beneath them. They're all too smug, and look far too gorgeous with their wild hair framing them both like a curtain. "I have won, Hound. Admit it."
Hound bites their cheek then, looking up with the dirtiest look they can muster. Their glare could kill, and yet, Rune just smiles so wonderfully down at them. So sweet, and yet so arrogant.
"You," Hound begins, watching Rune's smile slowly turn to a grin. Tík. "Have won. You may have your prize."
"I intend to," Rune murmurs with far too much arrogance that makes Hound thrust their hips up to try and buck them off. They don't even flinch, and Hound curses their size difference for once in their life. "Do not pout, my love. I can smell it on you. You are into this. You wouldn't offer yourself as such if you didn't wish it either."
It's true. Hound, somewhere deep in them, did wish for this outcome. That Rune would take them viciously, finally having dominance above them that would be without teeth or taming Hound.
"Admit it." Rune practically whispers, their voice ragged as they lean down into Hound. Catching their gaze with their own that sparkles with mischief.
Hound's breath shakes, their brows furrowing and feeling the ache to bite their cheek. Their lashes flutter, unable to hold the intense gaze as they turn their head to the side. They struggle to find the words, embarrassment stretching across their skin as their voice wavers. "I-I..."
Rune doesn't speak, and Hound quietly thanks them for holding their tongue. A shaky breath enters Hound's lungs, their brows furrowing and their eyes searching in the darkness. Anywhere but Rune's face.
"I," Hound begins, swallowing and feeling foolish for being so flustered. "I want this. I...I am yours, my love. To do with what you wish."
"Stay still. I have brought rope if you shall not be...compliant." Rune warns, but Hound stays put. A true hunter of their word, they allow Rune the prize. Holding still as Rune carefully releases them, and Hound keeps their arms above their head.
Rune begins stripping them slowly, first working on Hound's top and jacket. And once those are removed, their sports bra is next. Making their heavy breast spill out and catching Hound's breath as Rune snarls down at them. One of their pierced nipples is immediately nursed in Rune's mouth, red hot across their chilled skin.
Hound arches into the touch, tossing their head to the side and whimpering without meaning to. Rune moans lewdly into them in turn, moving to give their opposite breast attention as their hand raises to squeeze the now neglected breast.
It isn't long before Hound is stripped bare, whilst Rune simply removes their own shirt and begins to undo the fly on their pants. Rune moves themself to straddle Hound's rib cage, their voice low. "You know what to do, Hound."
Hound huffs, but obeys without more guidance. They reach up, pressing their breasts together and looking up at Rune from under their lashes as they groan. Rune's cock is proportional, pierced, the tattoo on the base making Hound's mouth water. The head is flushed, and with an elegant stroke of Rune's hand from head to base, it reveals it's glistening with pre-cum from their foreskin.
Rune licks their palm to spread lubrication on their cock before letting it slip between Hound's breasts. The moan Rune releases is primal, and Hound can't help but squirm their thighs together as they look up at them. In the moonlight, Rune looked gorgeous, the sweat clinging to their skin and half dressed.
"Good. That is good, my love. How behaved you are for me- look at you. Nothing but a domesticated pup now, hm?" Rune's voice is rough, low as they slowly thrust their hips. The head of their cock coming to kiss Hound's lips with every thrust inwards. Hound can't help themself, swiping their split tongue over it whenever they can.
Soon Rune is moving Hound's hands away from their breasts, replacing them with their own large hands and swiping their thumbs over their nipples. Hound is helpless but to just lie there and be used, panting and whimpering with small squirms and twitches of their sensitive body.
Rune doesn't last long either, ragged grunts and quiet huffs yanked from their throat as they start to move faster. A snarl leaving their lips of, "Tongue out, Hound." That is so ragged and raw that Hound is quick to obey.
They part their plump lips, letting their tongue loll out and looking up at Rune from under their lashes. It's what does their beloved in, cumming with a few sharp thrusts. It covers Hound's breasts with cum, splashes of it coming onto their tongue, their lips, across their nose and cheeks as they close their eyes to avoid any getting there.
Rune's breaths are heavy and hot, keeping still above them as their thumbs and forefingers now tug on Hound's nipples just to hear them whimper.
"I am not even close to done with you yet, my love. We have many years of your wins to make up for, don't we?" Rune murmurs, quiet and dangerous.
Hound's cant find it in them to even be upset about losing.

It’s confusing but not unusual in free-to-play games. Search: Genshin Impact Stuck On Launch Screen. There are also four other in-game currencies, some of which can be bought with real-world money and some that you need other in-game currency to purchase. Each Fate can be used to get either a new (random) character or weapon that’s rated in value from common (three stars) to super-rare (five stars).

These aren’t new to online games, as even World of Warcraft uses them, but Genshin Impact deploys them as magical stones called ‘ Fates’.

This references capsule-toy machines, in that you never know quite what you’re going to get. Genshin Impact also incorporates a gacha mechanic. Open-world exploration isn’t the only thing on offer. It’s in this exploration that Genshin Impact reveals itself to share similarities with Breath of the Wild, one of the best Legend of Zelda games. Teyvat is split into two regions, both of which are jam-packed with puzzles and environments to discover.

This is all there is you can do to fix the Failed to download resource files or network error. Along the way, you’ll encounter eccentric characters who’ll help (or hinder) your progress.
