I want to start a new smau or start the StuCu sequel but I don't want to delete what I have done for LeLaLe.
So I'm going to resume writing it even if it continues to flop! I don't want to leave it unfinished, then deleted, and always regretted.
I have two different fake Twitter apps with one set up for the StuCu sequel and the other for LeLaLe, so I gotta get moving!
New LeLaLe updates will be coming out :)

Hi! I love the quality of You’re work, it’s so good!
Can you do companions react to overhearing sole and someone else talking, and all sole is talking about is how freaking amazing said companion is and how much they love them and about five minutes into the rant sole just pauses and is like “oh God I actually love them”
could you do gage too if you write for him
I studied for this one, y'know, just to do Gage right for once
Anyway, this got so long, i had to use multiple paragraphs per some companions. Whoops.
Companions react to Sole talking themselves into realizing their feelings for them
We're going to assume the feelings are mutual. Featuring non-romancable companions too, because i love yall and want you to eat good 💕
Cait; the C in Cait stands for Crisis. Panics and runs away, doesn't want to hear anymore. Sole being all sweet about her platonically about ripped her in half as is, but...holy shit. She has a chance with them. Cait didn't think this far.
The A in Cait stands for Assessment. She starts doing mental gymnastics. Okay, Sole's previous partner was like this. Cait is/isn't like that. Are they viable? Does she even know how to have a relationship? She and Sole get along very well, already. They're in- ew, no. They want to smang. Yes, that is it. No one wants her for long.
The I in Cait stands for Insecure. Cait has so many goddamn issues, man. After enough thinking, she talks herself out of it. What if she's wrong, what if she hurts them, what if they hurt her? She shouldn't try it. She'll fuck it up, right?
The T in Cait stands for Take the shot, bitch. Mentally, she decides to not pursue anything. This will fly out of the window the moment Sole flirts with her or gives her any opportunity. Cait is impulsive, man. Insecurity doesn't last long around Sole.
Curie; Curie lacks tact. Might be the most likely to just...walk in and confess her feelings too. Regardless. But she might also give them more time to ponder it, seeing as they just figured it out. The weird stuff happening in her chest (joy, confusion, bashfulness, she's learned) might also nerf her for the moment.
In the time it takes for Sole to confess properly to Curie, she'll give them lots of space, so that they can think of it without her influence. Will be painfully obvious to anyone else that she's over the moon, though. Listens to love songs and stares dreamily at the sky. Draws hearts in her notebook. Gets terrifyingly excited whenever Sole talks to her, thinking it'll be the moment. If they take too long though, WILL approach them on her own.
Danse; I'm gonna be honest, second most likely to hit the legs the moment Sole starts talking about him. Danse is not built for praise. Danse isn't even built for people being neutral towards him. And he isn't the type to eavesdrop. So, we have to assume that he gets there, like, right before Sole says it. At which point, most likely to stumble and fall on his ass. Sole hears the commotion and comes to check, only to see Danse hopping a fence, or sprinting down a hallway. So, jig is already up, Sole knows he heard.
But, Danse is 1 letter away from being a different word. What is that word, class? Yes, it's "dense." Will do mental gymnastics to come to conclusion he misheard, or misunderstood, or that Sole was talking about an entirely different person.
However long it takes Sole to approach him about it, will dig himself a hole full of self-loathing, loneliness, and yearning. The longer it goes, the deeper the hole. Sole really needs to just run after him screaming "COME BACK I LOVE YOU" or this is gonna be exhausting for Person C, who had to watch this play out as an outside observer.
Deacon; Flips a coin to decide his next move; run away screaming, or walk in strutting? If he walks in, will loudly start chatting up whoever Sole is talking to about how cool Sole is, and does it in a way that gives off the vibes of "I totally feel the same way but I'm pretending I don't know you feel that way at all". Person C wants to die seeing this.
Will also talk himself out of it like Cait. Deacon doesn't even know who he is, how could Sole? And things with Barbara didn't end too well, because he was an asshole who dragged her into his shit. He's still an asshole, dragging Sole into his shit. But because of who Sole has to be to get this close with Deacon, they're likely to nip this in the bud and approach him ASAP.
Deacon has maybe ten minutes of freaking out before Sole finds him alone and confesses. And he knows this. If Sole wants to confess, they better recognize him through a disguise. He wants to be swept off his feet, and nothing turns him on like Sole seeing through his shitty wigs.
Gage; HITS THE BRICKS. He sticks around for praise because shit, who doesn't like hearing how badass they are? And from the Overboss, no less! The intelligent, tough, sexy Overboss, who makes him melt with just a look. He could listen to them brag about him all day. Hell yeah, tell them how smart he is, how strong he is, how...big his muscles are...? Uh, thanks...but talk about how good his aim is, despite the one—wait, what's this about him being...charming...? ...Handsome? Boss, what are you—WHAT? WHAT? WHAT THE FUCK?! THIS WASNT THE PLAN! RETREAT, RETREAT, RETREAT.
Gage put all of those nasty little feelings into a jar and threw them into the ocean like a civilized person the moment they reared their ugly little heads. And now, Sole just...fucking said that. Not a care in the world, no hesitatation. They—they can't. They just can't do anything there. Inappropriate workplace relationship, it wouldn't be right. And with him? Dirty, old, banged up Gage, fucked up in more ways then he has teeth? When Sole is...Sole? Nah, nah, that...nah. Best not go there. Gets a bad case of the Yearning that makes him cringe.
Talks a big game to himself about how he's not going to do anything about it, fuck that, fuck love, who needs it, but to be honest? All Sole would have to do is invite him in a shower or something and he's dropping the literal and metaphorical pants. A smart raider doesn't turn his nose up at a good thing dropping right in his lap. That...might also be literal, in this case.
Hancock; Unlike Deacon or Curie, who consider barging in, Hancock does it. He's so shocked, touched, scared, etc, that he puts on the persona and follows its lead. He walks in, chats like normal, teases, makes no indication that he knows. Everything is normal. It didn't happen. If it did, they didn't mean it.
Whenever he remembers it later, immediately distracts himself. Cuts back on chems because he keeps thinking about it on them. Lets his mind wander. Sole is too good for him, Sole deserves better, and Sole can do better. In this state, Hancock's walls are so high up and reinforced, Sole is gonna need a real bulldozer of a confession to knock them down. I recommend a moonlit dinner with music. Something to let him know that they mean business.
MacCready; It takes a good, long time for him to realize what he heard. In the moment, his brain (likely in a bid for self-preservation) locks up. He shrugs and wanders off, forgets about it. It'll be, like, a week later, and he and Sole will be talking, and it'll come rushing back to him. The shutdown happens again, and this repeats until MacCready thinks about it for a moment.
When he realizes what they said, screams into the nearest pillow, mostly because he's been an idiot for...way too long. Has a crisis. What about Lucy? What about Duncan? What about Shaun? What about Sole? Much like Danse, Sole needs to come get their man quickly, before he spooks himself out of getting some. He wants to, but is it time for that? He'll come around once Sole figures themselves out and goes to him.
Nick; The only one who will go out of his way to approach Sole later and confess himself. He's an adult with functional interpersonal skills. He's not going to kick the door down and drop his pants, and he's not going to run away and fake his death just to avoid talking about it.
Nick gets his thoughts in order, waits for Sole to not be busy, and goes for it. If Sole would be embarrassed, doesn't mention that he heard. Nick probably starts real traditional, gets flowers and candy or something. A little courting gift, as is gentlemanly. Nick knows the importance of skipping the tomfoolery and getting down to business, but he's a sentimental man. And besides, Sole deserves to be pampered, and treated right, if they're going to do this.
Also, Nick is Person C with the other companions. And he fucking knows they sit there and eavesdrop, wants to die when Sole confesses their feelings when the object of them is right there. But also, kinda lives for it. His name is Valentine, of course he's a romantic.
Piper; Piper has a taste for the theatrical, and right now, she's thinking of what she would want as Person C. And She, in C's position, would lose her mind if the Person B walked in and loudly proclaimed their feelings for Sole. Also, it's the first thing she thinks to do, too shocked to stop and think. So Piper does it, God bless.
Well, kind of. She charges in, only to cough and awkwardly tell Sole they should talk, red as her coat. Person C (Nick) appreciates this greatly, even if she stumbled on the landing.
Anyway, there's no wistful wondering. They get this shit figured out ASAP. Piper is also impulsive, and thank God for that. Sole is also red as her coat and they go back and forth teasing each other relentlessly. Lots of squealing and incoherent noises.
Preston; Much like Nick, goes for it...but not for a while. He takes time to think it over. After all, Sole is his general, they have a lot going on, he himself has a lot going on...he has logistics to work through. Likely to make a corkboard planning it out. Will he be able to provide the needed emotional labor? Goes to Nick/Person C and ask their opinion. Nick takes one look at the corkboard and tells him Sole is his friend, not a damn supply route.
Heeding Nick's advice, also approaches it traditionally. He invites Sole to a personal, off-the-record meeting late at night. Sole finds their favorite dish, music, and Preston in a tux that Nick would have advised against if he knew about it. But Preston talks about his feelings, confesses, wants to try if Sole is willing. Obviously they are.
X6-88; Decides No. Simply No. He vanishes and refuses to think about it. Sole is his Director. He is a synth, a courser, a machine. He shouldn't have these feelings anyway, but to act on them? To have them reciprocated? Oh no. No, no, no, that won't do. It goes against everything he believes.
He doesn't think about it at all. If Sole brings it up, he will initially reject them out of shock, because he genuinely is not ready to even consider it, let alone agree. Forget matters of compatibility, there is so much red tape around this, and if he trips over it, he risks his life, his position, even Sole, if the other Board Members take enough umbrage.
Sole has to do so much heavy lifting to get him to feel safe enough to think about the possibility. Not even if he wants to, if its possible. After that...X6-88 is not meant for such things. He's never done it before. Sole will expect and need things he can't provide. What if they want sex? He most certainly doesn't. What if they want comfort? His brain isn't built for that. What if they want him to change, better himself? He's not supposed to change, he wouldn't be a courser if he could.
This relationship would take so many baby steps. But he won't forget that Sole, for some reason he can't parse, feels the same way. For something they shouldn't see as a person, but do. And...they like the person they see. It...Sole is going to be dealing with a crisis, down the line.

heyhey!! i loveeee your writing!!!! i was wondering if you could please write some hcs for caitlyn and vi with a shy girlfriend? and how they interact with her? thank you so much and take your time!!!! have a great day!
(Hey! This is lowkey shit but eh. Here ya go, enjoy! Have a good day!)
Vi and Cait x Shy Reader Vi
Tumblr media
She’s pretty bold, so I don’t think she would understand at first
She was kinda confused when she saw just how shy you actually were
But after she understood a bit she would find it amusing, kinda cute
She flirts with you just for the hell of it
She likes how you just freeze and turn red when she says something even REMOTELY flirty
She obviously won’t do it to the extent that you’re uncomfortable
If you ever feel uncomfortable somewhere she would most likely have her hand on your waist
Or an arm over your shoulder
Don’t like PDA?
Not a problem, she’ll save her amazing love for in private
She’s not big on PDA in public unless to show someone who won’t get the hint you’re together
Preferring to be affectionate in private instead
She would kiss the top of your head a lot or sometimes your cheek and hug you
But in private?
Be ready man
This amazing woman is sneak attacking you with hugs, kisses and the whole thing
Ever feel uncomfortable around someone?
You best know she’s given’ ‘em the death glare
Take you away from the situation and will find them later
Just for a chat
(It wasn’t a chat)
Man or woman was in the hospital the very next day
You can't tell me this woman does not loves hugs from behind
You or her she don’t care
She likes flirting with you to see your reaction to it
She finds it just amazing
Ever get bold any way?
This woman is so shell shocked
You ever feel nervous somewhere?
Let's get out of there because she isn’t a big fan of it either
When you first met you were pretty reserved
She found her way around it
Started first by just sitting across from each other in silence
Eventually you guys became some sort of friends
She eventually got around your small shell and you got through hers
You are not stuck together
Forever
Caitlyn
Tumblr media
Cait doesn’t really understand why you’re so shy
I mean, she first noticed it when she took you to an event hosted by her mother
She noticed how you didn’t really interact with anyone or speak to anyone
Being a little reserved, quiet and speaking rarely
She was used to them, her mom was a councilor so she had to get used to being around so many people and talking to them
She tried to help and get you to talk to more people
On your own boundaries, of course
But she eventually stopped, not wanting to make you uncomfortable
She actually prefers how shy you are at first
She first noticed you as the quiet being 
She liked the quiet, sometimes noise but mostly quiet
Big moments in your relationship are just sitting with one another in silence or the dark
She’s not big on PDA
She’ll mostly hug you, kiss your cheek or hold your hand
In private is the best though
This woman is the best in general
She likes holding your hand and kissing your forehead though
Amazing, she gives the best hugs too
She also flirts without knowing it
She is a very smooth talker
She’ll feel a little guilty after saying something flirty and just seeing how you freeze and blush at it
She eventually would probably do it on purpose like Vi just for the hell of it
If you ever feel uncomfortable or don’t wanna be somewhere in public? 
She’ll gladly ditch
Or feel uncomfortable around someone?
Yeah, they’re no longer a problem

My latest post inspired me…
Companions Modern! Au Favorite iMessage games:
Cait: Enjoys the shit out of a nice round of Cup pong. Also talks major smack between turns.
Curie: Loves, and is probably the best at mini golf. Very friendly though, unlike Cait.
Danse: Sea Battle…he takes it way too seriously too. It’s never just fun and games with him..ever.
Deacon: He likes reversi, won’t play with you unless you play it either.
Gage: Darts..but he’ll immediately want to play it in person afterwards. Buckle up, he’s a sore loser.
Hancock: May come as a surprise but he enjoys chess, actually makes a point to play a nightly round with Nick when the two of them aren’t busy.
Macready: Tanks, sends obnoxious emojis when he lands a hit too- just so you KNOW he scored.
Maxson: A huge shock but his favorite is shuffleboard. Actually, he’s strangely fascinated with the sport…
Nick: Easily a chess man..Hancock bombards him but he enjoys it.
Piper: Kicks major ass and it’s probably why she likes it so much- the Queen of word games.
Preston: Crazy 8, poor thing just wants to enjoy quality time with his friends and ends up making the group chat go crazy.
X6-88: 20 questions..no one ever knows what is in his mind either.

Drawn & Quartered [Chapter 7]
February 15th 2011
Caitlyn was in bed talking to her friend Nina on the phone, laptop in front of her. Nina had just gotten engaged to her boyfriend Mikel the day prior and they girls were excitedly talking.
"I just emailed you a link to bridesmaids dresses, what color do you think?" Nina asked.
"These are all kinda dark for a summer wedding though. Are you sure you don't want to with something brighter?" Caitlyn replied.
The girls continued their chit chat not knowing Ville had just arrived home. He heard Cait talking but wasn't sure to whom or what about. He walked through the bedroom and smiled at Cait, not wanting to interrupt her conversation. He made his way into the closet to start changing out of his snow-dampened clothes.
"Did you find the ring he got you? Let me see. Oh my God it's gorgeous Nina!" Ville listened to the one-sided conversation. "He really chose a gorgeous ring. ...Oh my god look at this one though. Yeah, I just sent it to you. You go it? Isn't it so pretty?! I love it."
Ville tried not to eavesdrop as he passed through the bedroom again to go into the bathroom to bathe. He was able to deduce that Caitlyn and one of her friends had been talking about engagement rings. The fact that he heard Cait talking about rings and was kind of looking for herself got Ville oddly excited. He never really cared too much about marriage, and he and Cait had decided in the past it wasn't a necessity, but they also never said 'never' either.
Ville got out of the bath and he realized he didn't hear Cait talking any longer. Poking his head out of the bathroom door he saw she was no longer sitting on the bed, but her laptop was.
Ville quickly pulled his boxers on and took a look at her laptop. There were several tabs open, and he found the one Caitlyn had sent over to Nina, the ring that she had said she really liked.
"Say no more, my love." he mumbled as he sent himself the link to the ring via email. He was convinced he was going to shock the pants off of her and he couldn't wait.
January 10th 2012, 1pm
Ville hadn't been out of bed in days. The room was littered with water bottles and beer cans, cigarette ashes scattered across the floor, he'd given up on ashtrays almost entirely. The TV in the room played some random infomercial he'd heard almost 30 times before. He nearly had it memorized.
[ *BANG BANG BANG* ]
Ville could hear someone at the door, but he couldn't care less.
[ *BANG BANG BANG* ]
"Oh fuck off..." he grumbled grumpily before rolling over and slamming the pillow over his head.
To his delight, the banging ceased and he began to fall back to sleep. Only to be interrupted what felt like miliseconds later to a booming voice.
"Ville!" It was Mige.
"Fucking hell! When did you get here?" Ville asked sitting upright, heart racing in his chest.
"You didn't hear me banging?" Mige asked, clearly annoyed.
"I did. I was hoping whoever it was would fuck off." Ville replied with an eyeroll as he reached for his cigarettes and lighter. "What brings you here?" Ville asked nonchalantly as he lit the cigarette hanging from his lips.
"You haven't picked up the phone, for anyone, in days." Mige stared him down.
"Seppo bought me a new phone. It's somewhere. I think it's dead." Ville motioned dismissively with his hand. "How'd you get in anyway?"
"I got a key from Seppo." Mige answered impatiently. "I had to come over because no one has heard from you all week and when your mother texted me I got worried. I came over because I wasn't going to let your parents be the ones to find you had offed yourself."
Ville shook his head "I'm still here."
"You need to cut the shit." Mige shook his head in frustration, "This has gone on long enough. You're spent enough time feeling sorry for yourself and you've been making life hell for everyone around you. It's not okay and you need to pull yourself together."
Ville stared at Mige indignantly. He didn't have a real response.
"Don't fucking look at me like that." Mige admonished. "You know I'm right."
Ville dropped his head to his hands, keeping his lit cigarette in mind so he didn't burn his hair, "I know." He grumbled. "It just hurts so much." His voice cracked but he forbade himself from crying.
"Yeah, I know. But we have work to do and you need to stop terrorizing everyone. Clean yourself up, charge your phone, call your mother, get out of the house. Get some fresh air and stop moping."
Ville nodded.
"I'll see you Monday?" Mige asked.
Ville nodded again.
"Good." Mige patted Ville roughly on the shoulder, trying to be obnoxious to make Ville smile. And it worked, he got half a smile at least.
Ville knew Mige was right, he also knew he needed more cigarettes so he followed his friend's advice to the letter.
After a quick shower he threw on his shoes and a warm hoodie and headed out the door, leaving a message on his mom's phone that he was alive and well and not to worry.
January 11th 2012, 2am
Ville lit a cigarette as he sat at the end of his bed shirtless, watching the dark haired woman in front of him undress. He'd gone out for cigarettes initially, but got a call from a friend who wanted to meet up. This friend also happened to have more coke for Ville so he decided to go out and have some fun. There he met Sasha. She was his type. Tall, slender, dark hair. She wore bright red lipstick Ville didn't care for, but she gave him attention and it wasn't bad to feel desired again. Even if Sasha *was* giving him groupie vibes.
Sasha, now in nothing but a bra knelt down in front of Ville and he buckled his pants. Feeling her warm mouth on him, he inhaled sharply. "If Cait can move on, so can I." He thought to himself, eyes closed.
When he reopened them, he saw the pigsty that became his bedroom. He'd normally be embarrassed having a stranger witness the fallout of his life like this, but he didn't particularly care.
He shook his head and tried to focus on the woman between his knees, but it was difficult. Every time he shut his eyes he thought about Caitlyn. Frustrated, he pulled Sasha onto the bed and quickly penetrated her. No softness, no warm up, at this point. Ville just wanted to get to the finish line.
Sasha gasped and moaned as Ville fucked her, his eyes shut tight, trying to pretend he was anywhere but there. When was the last time he even touched Caitlyn? He kept trying to remember the last time they had sex together. Why did it feel like an entire lifetime ago?
Ville lost his pacing, he could feel his erection slipping away. Frustrated he tried going harder, but it was no use.
Just as quickly as he pushed Sasha down, he got off of her and sat on the edge of the bed, exasperated.
"Hey... you okay?" She asked timidly.
"I'm fine." Ville answered, cringing at how awkard this entire thing was. Now he remembered why he never did one night stands. "You can go." Ville coldly dismissed her as he stood up, "Lock up before you leave, if you could." He didn't look at her before disappearing into the bathroom. He didn't need to pee, he just needed to be anywhere but in that room on the bed with a stranger.
Ville stood awkwardly in his own bathroom, waiting until he heard Sasha leave. It felt like eons before he heard the front door open and shut. Once he was positive she was gone he walked back into his bedroom and looked around at the wreckage.
He needed to clean up. For a split second he thought about Cait and how upset she would be at the state of things. At the state of him. But the thought quickly faded and he heard Mige's voice in his head: "Cut the shit. You've spent enough time feeling sorry for yourself." It took Ville an extremely awkward one night stand for him to really see the forest from the trees.
Caitlyn was gone. She was clearly moved on and he needed to also.
Ville pulled out his phone to call her, wanting to just have one last conversation for closure but he decided against it. What good would that do? He thought to himself. Instead, he texted Sasha.
"Hi, sorry about that. I started not feeling well. I'll call you tomorrow."
He sat back on his bed and threw his phone into his bed into the tangle of blankets. Reaching for the remote, he flipped through channels until he found some documentary about medieval torture. Ville figured maybe hearing about the immense suffering of others would make him somehow feel better. Who really had it worse? Him or the poor blokes who were slowly lowered into a vat of molten iron?
Eventually, they documentary got to a portion covering the fate of a legendary Scotsman and traitor of the Crown, William Wallace. The fate? Drawn & quartering.
The victim was drawn (dragged by a horse to the place of execution), hanged (not to the death), disemboweled, beheaded, and then quartered, sometimes by tying each of the four limbs to a different horse and spurring them in different directions.
"If I'm drawn and quarterered it's only for you..."
The moment the line popped into his mind and Ville sat straight up. Reaching for a notebook on the floor he scribbled it down, the melody slowly coming to him as he hummed.
"Guitar." He grumbled. "Need guitar." he scrambled out of bed and continued humming the melody. "If I'm drawn and quartered it's only for you..."
It was nearing 3:30 in the morning, but he didn't care. He felt the music swelling inside of him, needing to be bled out.
"Let's hold these heart's for one another
It's worth all wounds, it must be..." he muttered madly as he scribbled.
'Finally,' he thought to himself, as relief washed over him 'Release.' Ville could have cried, he suddenly felt soothed. He felt like he could take the first full breath for the first time in weeks. Once again, music coming to save the day.

REEVE is on my screen!!!
The only guy in Shinra who cares about u know. The people in the city hes supposed to be helping. I could write a whole meta about shinras situation and capitalism and corporate corruption and monopolies and value of profit over human life etc... u know... u played the game
Anyway my (not toxic but) Weird trait is because i played Dirge of Cerberus i am DESPERATE for reeve and vincent to somehow interact in Rebirth. It would make No fucking sense. Reeve will only be around as Cait Sith
But i want that old vampire emo berserk man to smash his face with reeve like barbies. I want Reeve blowing up his phone 24/7. I really loved Yuffie SUNSHINE CITY as Vincents partner in Work in dirge of cerberus, reeve chatting with em all the time, that game did something to me by not only putting characters together i NEVER wouldve expected to become a longstanding team, but also making me ridiculously fond of their dynamic. Its like when someone writes a bizarre premise of a crackfic but everyones in characrer and by the end ur like what the fuck happened? Now i ship this??? Well thats ME now. Because of Dirge of Cerberus. I want reeve vincent and yuffie to interact
(Also if you ever play Crisis Core... Genesis and Angeal are like that too. Although they make more sense. But u go into the game going OH okay. Weird they made 2 more overpowered super unique characters - but theyre the ONLY first class soldiers so i guess theyre all special boys like sephiroth. Then u find out theyre CHILDHOOD best friends, both made monsters from birth, families lied - but still not nearly as fucked a backstory as sephiroth sorry buddy - and Genesis is the lookalike of a POP star, and hes a THEATER NERD quoting an eternally unfinished play at his old best friend fellow soldiers and flying with wings and shit. And Angeal loves his old buddy so much he goes to find him. And sephiroths left behind - which IS sad, hes worried too mind you, but even with 2 other first class soldiers experimented on well He was experimented on different... so at least they have Each other. To understand. And anyway you blink and go wait why am I so emotionallh distraught over ANGEAL AND GENESIS i didnt even know them before this!)

J Watches Arcane: Ep. 5, Random Thoughts/Play-By-Play
Still can't sleep, so the marathon continues! Hopefully my increasingly uncomfortable sleep deprivation doesn't impair my ability to make dumb jokes. This one is also very long, to the point I almost split it in two. Again, lots of these aren't important thoughts or whatever, and I'm sure plenty of folks won't find 90% of this interesting... but it's mainly for myself, so... ya know
(0:54) Look, I don't care about guns in any way, except for one single one, because it makes the most satisfying sound in the entire world when you're reloading it (specifically when the magazine comes out, iirc, but also again I don't know anything about guns so pardon me if that's not the right term). I heard it in a video game once, got curious, googled it to see if it really makes that sound, found out it does, and now the M1 Garand is the only gun I give a shit about.
Cait's gun doesn't make the exact sound, obvs, but for a brief second it was close enough that my brain went ! also the design of the weapon has similar aesthetics (I mean, a lot of older rifles look a lot like the M1, but idk, feels more than just something necessitated by the nature of the weapon) and I guess what I'm saying is that it's a pretty gun
(1:35) I am so glad to see Grayson again, even though it's just a flashback! I thought she was very interesting in Act 1, and I was real sad she got killed off (especially so off-handedly, ya know?).
(3:35, "uh, they all do, how could anyone not know that?") I am assuming that Marcus has been taking steps to ensure that Cait stays away from any actual important work, but it does kinda surprise me that she seems so surprised at the mention of Silco? Doesn't really feel like skinny-boy has been playing Trencher King with any sort of subtlety. Then again, how often do folks from Piltover pay Zaun any mind? Ah, right, basically just when someone causes trouble
(5:00~) I don't think I'll ever not be heartbroken about the shit Vi has been through at Stillwater, and I have to wonder what's going through her head when Cait is the first (Piltie) person in years to not beat the shit out of her. How long does it take for Vi to get rid of that paranoia, you know? Does she wonder if this is just some particularly elaborate "chat", like the warden mentions? I just want to hug her, my dudes
(7:30~) so Vander was a DILF (as in I'd like to f*ck, metaphorically cuz I'm ace), and Marcus is a DILF (as in I'd like to FIGHT). I mean, I get that there are some complications, considering his daughter (and I saw something implying the mother is dead, and I wonder if maybe part of why he made that first deal with Silco was cuz the money might help with the situation? was the mother sick, maybe?), and the fact that he did technically save Vi's life (even if he did so in a way that led to her getting beat to shit in prison, over and over, for years
But, ya know, mostly just want to fight him
(9:36) I am going to laugh about Marcus' "oh shit. oh no. not good" face for about ten years, probably. I am imagining that this is literally the first thing he went to do after that talk with Silco, and the timing is just MWAH
(10:02) :( my boy. wondering if this is the moment that really sparks his decision to use Hextech to counter his declining health
(10:40) Not sure if I've mentioned it before, but one of my favorite things, both in romantic and platonic situations, is listening to someone infodump to me about something that they know a lot about (even if I also know some, but especially if I don't have a clue), and now I just want to chill with Jinx while she explains the intricacies of mad science to me, even if half the terms she uses aren't technical at all, but just what she personally refers to things as. Also might use part of this scene as inspo for my OC, oops
(11:09) back to sobbing full force :((((((((((
Paragragh break again for formatting reasons<3
(11:41, "too risky") oh my god, Vi, you are incredible, perfect, I love you. Jumping off an edge without a second thought to how the Piltie enforcer escorting you will react. I love her so much. But also, like, I know some skills last for life... but how is she still so good at this, when she just got out of prison?... Seriously though, if you recall Cait's rough landing from the last episode, watching Vi and noting the contrast (she rolls with the landings, or slides, never lets herself come to a hard stop), it's just a beautiful display of how to correctly Parkour<3
Also, you know that half of this is just Vi going "holy shit I am out of prison" and freaking out about getting to actually run and jump and move around for once<3
(13:07) LMAO, love that the hobbling lady we saw earlier made it to the bottom at the same time poor Cait did
(18:15) Tries her very hardest, does insanely good, and still gets a shy just score of Vi's record. There's some subtext/symbolism here, isn't there? "Vi could do better at half your age" "there are just some things you can't do, Powder" "you aren't a fighter". Can't get any rest with ghosts like that
(19:20ish) Uh, hey Mel, your "girlboss gaslight gatekeep" or whatever is showing. Is everything she does part of the Game (to compare Piltover politics to Dragon Age ones)? Does she "help" Jayce succeed because he's her favorite player, or is he her favorite player because he can succeed? This is why Mel caught my interest so quick in Act 1, but is also why her and I would probably never actually get along. I don't have any qualms with dancing my way around feelings and bullshitting my way into things, but it's not about winning, it's about survival and keeping the playing field even. Not that even the worst of my shenanigans could ever actually hold a candle to Mel's, just that when you feel a desperate need for everyone to like you, and you find that people often do, a few nudges can keep sides from snapping at each other. To put it plainly: I tried to be a peacekeeper (but still find myself having to pull away from playing puppeteer like I tried to when I was young). Mel doesn't seem to have any grand morals behind her ambition, but I don't know what is behind her ambition, though I think it's safe to assume her mother is involved
Also, just want to say that I love that they're at a performance during this scene. They're up on a balcony, using words and charm to manipulate things, playing the aforementioned game with skill, while below them someone plays an instrument with equal skill. Idk, just love when shows do shit like this
(22:31, "you're hot, cupcake") I am not ready for this scene, I am not ready for this scene, I am not read-
anyone who has followed my blog for long enough will know that A: I am asexual, and B: I am incredibly easy to fluster 99% of the time (there is a specific stage of sleep deprivation where I am not, but I am far past that stage). I am going to cry. I am going to have to pause repeatedly and take deep breaths (admittedly part of why is because I also do not handle secondhand embarrassment well)
Look, if Vi pinned me to the wall, leaned in, and asked "what will it be, man or woman?", it would be next to impossible to say literally anything other than "preferably you"
(23:49, "imagining yourself a hero?") there was a single, tiny second, where I believed it. Insomnia makes a fool out of me, when dreams are so yearned for that I see them with open eyes
(25:40~) Oh. Okay. I knew we were cutting back to the brothel, but I honestly thought the scene was going to be longer? Or that we would see a few more seconds of Cait's POV? I made such a big deal out of this for nothing, lmao
(28:10`~) :((((( Viktor :((((((((((((((((((((((((
(30:25) Jinx :((((((((((( this baptism is not very fun :((( still not the worst one I've heard about (looking at you, Bioshock)
what the fuck, imagine dragons are canon characters in arcane???
(32:27, "VI?") this is going to hurt everyone involved. mostly physically, but Vi and I are coming out of this with emotional problems.
Court mandated paragraph break, even though we're only a few minutes from the end
(34:37) Ouch, ouch, ouch, and did I mention... ouch?
Apparently 70% of this show is characters I'm gay for fighting each other, and like 197% tears, but also 84% cool characters being badass and making me swoon
(35:56, "but you're so sweet") Vi, now is not the time for fun banter. But also it is 100% time for sweet banter because that last bit hurt my emotions, and now I get to enjoy you being a gay disaster for a few seconds. I can't wait to watch the evolution of "cupcake" from being a joke/not well received to Cait actually not minding/Vi saying it with a dorky affection

So this happened forever ago but I still think about it.
I was in a Discord with two friends, right, call 'em Caitlyn and Emily, and it was like, all three of us were very different people but we all had some things in common which is why we had a group chat. One day Cait, Emily, and I are talking about what we'd do in the apocalypse and we go off on what we'd do if we all were together in the same house in this theoretical post-apocalypse; we're all talking about gardening, hunting, what medical care and cooking knowledge the three of us collectively have, y'know, living off the grid type shit.
Then Cait and I start talking about how we'd defend the house and how we'd take turns keeping watch overnight since we're both night owls, and where we'd get weapons and what kind of traps we'd set up for intruders and shit like that, and Emily is SHOCKED. She's literally so taken aback by the idea of defending our shit and she's like "nooo we don't have to, if they're hungry we can feed them and they can stay with us and everyone can be friends (: "
and Caitlyn and I are like, "...??? bitch what planet are you from" (but nicely since we were all friends) and the conversation shifts, and as it turns out, while Caitlyn and I both grew up in bad neighborhoods and went to bad school districts and have been involved in violence/seen desperation up-close, Emily grew up in a nice suburb and went to a nice school and all the shit Cait and I know is still basically a hypothetical in Emily's world.
It didn't go anywhere after that, but I still think about that conversation to this day. I'm sure there are broader implications that can be drawn from that chat but I just don't want to get into it right this second. I just had to post about it.

Never too far from the tree
by Valkyriethehopeless
Caitlyn is trying her best to complete her placement at the Zaun Youth Centre but there is one particularly blue-haired menace just determined to get rid of her. Little does she know that this Piltie is more determined than ever to stay on board. When Jinx takes things too far and her sister is brought in for a chat, Caitlyn discovers that the sassy attitude runs in the family. _____________________________________________________________________ This work was created as part of The City of Progress Discord server's gift exchange! The original prompt was: "When Caitlyn signed up to help mentor younger kids, she thought it would be a breeze, an easy added extracurricular to her transcript. She never expected the tiny, blue-haired ball of chaos they paired her with, not to mention her gruff, mistrusting older sister."
_____________________________________________________________________ For context, Vi and Cait are in their early twenties but I've aged Jinx down considerably to suit the narrative.

How the companions would come out, if at all
For 🍑🍎🍊🍋🥝🫐🍇 month
Cait; doesn't, she'll refer to it casually and off-handedly and if you blink at it, she'll blink at you. You fool. You absolute buffoon. You think Cait gives a shit? You think Cait even has a concept of heteronormativity? Deranged. Deluded.
Curie; She will also casually bring it up, but more as a question. Probably figuring things out for herself, and looking for a second, more experienced opinion. Curie is going to use you as more of a sounding board than really be expressing her identity to you. Kind of like a "hey, lemme just ramble at you to work it out myself"
Danse; Literally couldn't. The man about pukes just telling you he sees potential in you. This isn't like Cait, who straight up never considered hetero. This is Danse, who never considered being sexual, let alone romantic. If he ever figures anything out about himself, that shit is going in a clean, sterilized jar, and tossed right the fuck into the nearest bin.
Deacon; Comes out multiple times for various different things. Does this weekly. What is he, actually? Deacon. Deacon is just Deacon.
Gage; Doesn't come out and has nothing to come out for, because he doesn't use any labels. Much like Cait, he's got nothing to hide and isn't really aware that some people do.
Hancock; Also doesn't come out, because why the fuck would he? You can't take him anywhere without one or two people explicitly trying to get him in the sack again. If you know Hancock at all, you know he fucks. He doesn't need to spell it out for you.
MacCready; Does come out, surprisingly. He will make an off-handed (and honestly, kind of forced) joke about it before staring at you for a second like a spooked meerkat, trying to gauge your reaction. Will continue doing this to, like, slowly introduce the concept before it eventually becomes normal and everyone just...knows.
Piper; Comes out only after asking you what your deal is. "Say, are you a girl kinda guy, a guy kinda guy, what works for you?" And provided you answer like a normal person (Ei, without being weird at the suggestion you could be LGBT), then she'll conversationally talk about herself, just chatting.
Nick; Doesn't and doesn't need to. His name is Nick Valentine. He uses neon pink heart motifs and smokes for the aesthetic and quotes Gothic horror in the face of military invasion. If you can't tell Nick is lgbt, you wouldn't get it even if he did tell you outright.
Preston; Doesnt come out and you will never know what his deal is if you don't romance him or ask. Had a hoe phase like Hancock once, but those days are past him. Now, work is his lover. And he doesn't talk about himself like that. He's got shit to do.
X6-88; Will come out only if you are very close, because this is, like, Code Red Existential Crisis. You can see his brain breaking. There may as well be smoke coming out his ears. He flips between stoic vanity as per usual and absolute trainwreck at the realization that not only might he have feelings, but they're individual, you could say. This is a coursers nightmare.

Hey! I'm new here; how do you think the FO4 companions would react to Sole saying their deceased spouse's name in their sleep (either sexually or during a nightmare, your choice lol)
Fallout 4: Romanced Companions React to Sole Saying their Dead Spouse’s Name
Hi, everyone! I finished my next college quarter! I’m so hyped! But anyway, thanks Anon! I hope you like it! I also assumed you wanted romanced companions. If that’s not what you wanted, just let me know. Oh, and I did the nightmare situation just because I would personally be embarrassed to moan someone’s name in my sleep😀
Ada:
*shakes Sole abruptly*
“Sir/Ma’am, I think you are having a nightmare.”
Absolutely scares the shit out of Sole. No remorse.
Cait (romanced):
“Hey, wake up! Is something wrong?”
She's not exactly gentle. She is really concerned about Sole and will wake them up very abruptly. Cait knows that Sole would do the same for her, if their roles were reversed.
Codsworth:
He misses Sole's spouse too. He wouldn't wake Sole, he'd just make their day as relaxing as possible.
Tumblr media
Deacon:
He'd 100% wake Sole up "unintentionally." He'd bang pots and pans, throw a pillow at Sole's face and run away, or, maybe, scream and hide. He remembers going through the same thing after his wife died.
Dogmeat:
*is an empath*
Tumblr media
John Hancock (romanced):
Just holds Sole through the nightmare. He doesn't want to frighten them. He'll bring it up after Sole wakes up in the morning, but does so very gently. Big teddy bear vibes.
MacCready (romanced):
Doesn’t really do anything. He lost his wife, he knows what those dreams are like- but it just paralyzes him to watch Sole go through it. He wants to help, but he just can't.
Nick Valentine:
Whips up some coffee and early brunch. Time for a long chat with grandpa.
Tumblr media
Old Longfellow:
*sleeps harder so he doesn’t have to have a touchy-feely conversation with Sole*
Paladin Danse (romanced):
Overreacts then apologizes. He really doesn't know what to do, so he just listens. He offers big bear hugs as well (10/10 hugger and listener).
Piper Wright (romanced):
Wakes Sole up but doesn't ask them about it. She'll be happy to talk or listen if Sole wants to but NEVER forces them or initiates it.
Preston Garvey (romanced):
Hugs. Lots of them.
Tumblr media
Porter Gage (romanced):
Wakes Sole up very gently. He sits them uprights and they chat over some NukaCola (while snuggling, of course (you cannot tell me he does not like to cuddle)).
Strong:
"HUMAN FIGHT IN DREAM???"
*Strong greatly approves*
X6-88:
*stares*
Tumblr media

REDACTED verse - Game day (we're there as the audience!)
I've been talking to @yerawizardharreh lately because of the Games, and since I'm feeling a bit braver today and in desperate need of something fun to distract my anxiety for the upcoming videos, here's my take on what'll happen if we're all at the stadium, watching the E&E Games!
I'm sorry that I can't include everyone, and I hope I managed to get everyone's personalities and favs correctly. The purpose of this oneshot is to uplift those in this fandom before shits hit the proverbial fan so if I accidentally hurt anyone's feeling, please DM me so I can either make the edits or hide this post.
-
So let's be honest, we all will be cheering for the Freelancer - though Aster would be busy cheering for Milo patrolling near the stairs. When he caught them grinning and waving wildly, Milo couldn't help but blow a quick kiss at them - because they deserve the support.
Once Hudson calls for a break before the next round, Jay & Cami would already be missing. Where are they? They're hunting down Darling & Sam! These two would easily become friends with the couple, especially once Darling realises that they and Jay have so much in common. Catch them teasing Sam while Cami offers her help in tracking Quinn down. Does she have an ulterior motive of her own regarding the rogue Vampire? We'll just have to see~
Meanwhile, Gavin is trying to calm a hyperactive Caelum from going supernova with Mads. Gavin now has his hands full dealing with the two, while Caelum is so happy because Mads' kind and excitable energy matches his. These two can talk about how great the Freelancer is until Gavin ushers them to a nearby food stall, so they remain hydrated.
Kai, Beans and I are on a mission! After Kai greets Huxley to hyped him up for his turn, Huxley is so touched that she's treated to a warm hug from the big man himself. Beans and I would be snacking until Kai regrouped with us to hunt for Kody. We'll be shamelessly trying to make Kody trip and land his stupid ass in a dumpster or something. The next thing on the agenda? Oh, nothing... maybe just... wander around looking for Will. Because I know for a fact that the Solaire Clan would love to admire Bean's beautiful artworks of them.
Johan, Cait, Romi and Floof are super busy discussing how the upcoming Games will play out at the D.A.M.N cafeteria. Their theories and analysis are so insanely insightful that there's now a crowd around them; everyone is eager to hear what they have to say. Hell, their discussions and debate attracted inquiring minds like Damien into the fold.
And lingering somewhere in the background, Asher keeps an open ear to their talks. It's always good to know what to expect! He also wonders if the four are the top students in the academy with the way how they present themselves.
Somewhere within the campus is Doll, helplessly lost. They're supposed to meet up with Aster before the next round of the Games begins. Fortunately, their saviour is Lasko! He was just about to escort the following participants to their designated area when he came across Doll. At first, Lasko is painfully shy against Doll's cheery and straightforward vibe, but once he realises that they're also very open-minded and patient, these two can't stop chatting about board games and how awesome their friends are.
And lastly, seated among the VIP guests of the Games and under heavy guard of David himself, Teddy carefully takes note of this year's participants and the atmosphere of the crowds in the stadium so that everyone is safe. The moment he catches something is off - be it a sudden faulty of equipment carried by the security forces, a group of uneasy people somewhere among the audience or the sudden shift of magic in the air - he'll quickly work with the Alpha to solve them as quickly and efficiently as possible.
