Play wrestling with bff Steve and getting giggly when he just straight up manhandles you 😭😭😭

✶ ┄ SORE LOSER !

summary: steve harrington doesn't like to let you win until he realizes how good it feels to lose. pairing: best friend!steve harrington / f!reader word count: 1.6k warnings: a lil bit suggestive towards the end, but nothing crazy a/n: i got super carried away with this lol i kinda just took this request and ran with it and well... here we are :) enjoy!

Steve never lets you win.

He thinks it’s letting you off too easy.

The boy’s competitive to a fault. He can’t stomach a loss, even if it’s in something as meaningless as a carnival game you only wanted to play for the giant dinosaur plushie that’s half the size of you.

He always ends up giving it to you when he inevitably wins, wearing a big smug smile on his pretty, pink lips. You take it from him with a pout. The childlike scowl is quelled only by the funnel cake he buys you after.

It doesn’t matter what it is — a game of monopoly, trivia questions on the ends of popsicle sticks, taking in the groceries — Steve finds a way to make all of it competitive. He wants to have the most fake money and little fake properties, he wants to shout the answer before anyone else can, he wants to carry more heavy plastic bags than everyone else. Just to say that he did it.

If you put this much effort into school, you’d be in college right now, Harrington, you’d tease.

Not my fault you’re a sore loser, he’d retort. I’ll let you win the next one, sunshine. Promise.

He never does.

You and Steve play-wrestle like a couple of kids. It usually comes out of nowhere. You’ll make fun of him, he’ll shove at you, and you’ll shove back harder. Then it just turns into a game of who’s stronger than who — and it’s always him. Obviously.

You try your hardest to prove your strength, pushing at him with nimble fists and wriggling something fierce in his hold, but you come out red-faced with a participation ribbon laced within his taunts. And even though he’s got several inches on you and quite a bit more muscle, he never lets you win. Ever.

He manhandles you, perhaps a little too rough at times, but it wasn’t like he had to be kind to you. You weren’t dating or anything, you were best friends — this is what a couple of pals do, right?

They play fight on the carpet of the other’s movie room after being told their closest confidant would murder them in a game of fuck, marry, kill between Anthony Michael Hall and Robert Downey Jr. with zero hesitation.

Friends totally force the other onto the ground by grabbing at the bottoms of their thighs before kneeling over them, wrenching their wrists in their grip and pressing their hands to the ground on either their head.

It’s the definition of being best buds. Truly.

For the first time, you manage to get the better of him. You’re pressed beneath his weight, breathing heavy and rapidly tiring, and you wave the white flag of surrender.

Just when Steve's letting you up and swiping a hand through his mussed hair, you force him onto his back and straddle his waist — like he always did to you — and giggle with mirth at the idea of finally beating him.

He doesn’t find a similar enthusiasm in it, though. His tune changes almost immediately.

You beam down at him, the words of a taunt on the tip of your tongue, and you notice how his cheeks flare pink. His honey-colored eyes widen and his mouth falls softly agape. He glows red in embarrassment and you think he’s just upset that he lost, but he sounds like he’s panicking. The words rush out of his mouth — “Alright, shit, fine— you win, sunshine. Get off, alright? Off, off, off.”

His hand swats at the side of your knee to hurry you off him.

“Alright, jeez!” you concede with the roll of your eyes, halfway annoyed that he just can’t let you win anything. “You don’t have to be such a sore loser about it, Harrington—”

You understand his haste in that moment, when you feel him brush your inner thigh. Like, all of him — as in, the boner trapped in the sweatpants he’s wearing, all rock hard and raging in its cotton confines.

Suddenly, you’re just as bashful and panicked as he is.

Your eyes lock at the rock hard realization but neither of you can think of anything to say.

Do you apologize? Do you act like you didn’t feel anything? Do you trust your voice to make a stupid joke so you can move on and forget any of this ever happened? You’re not quite sure.

And in the five-second silence, Steve just wants to die. Internally, he’s praying for a strike of lightning to take him out on the spot because he’s never been more embarrassed in his life.

He’s certain that he’s grossed you out, or worse, made you irreversibly uncomfortable.

In the mess of thoughts running through his head, he tries to rush out some apology that might soothe the awkward air. Your laughter does all the work for him before he can.

It bubbles like sunshine from your mouth, filling the silence and allowing Steve to breathe again. He finds himself chuckling under his breath with you, though he’s still red-faced about it.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep laughing, sunshine,” he chides with the roll of his eyes, though a smile hints at the edges of his mouth. He rises on his elbows to look at you. “What was I supposed to do? Your tits were in my face and your ass was on my dick— sorry for being human!”

“Sorry, alright? I’m sorry,” you manage through hearty giggles. You settle finally at his side and look over at him, still grinning. “Want me to leave so you can… take care of it or whatever?”

He knows you’re joking but he shakes his head anyway. “Nah, it’ll go away. Let’s just… finish this stupid movie.”

“Stupid movie? You picked it!”

“Yeah, so I could see Kelly Lebrock in a bikini!” he argues back, more thankful for the familiar bickering than he ever thought he’d be. “But you made me miss it!”

“It’s not my fault you can’t keep your hands to yourself.”

“Watch it, sunshine,” he grumbles, half-heatedly. “Don’t start something you can’t finish.”

“I think you’re the one who needs to worry about finishing, Harrington,” you joke and giggle when he shoves you.

You would’ve helped him, if he wanted you to. You know it’s uncomfortable and that it’s partially your fault. You also know that all of those are just excuses to cover up the fact that you’ve always wondered what his cock looks like.

He’d need only ask you, but you know that he won’t.

Even if he did like you in that way, it’d just make things all complicated. And that was totally the opposite of the effortless relationship you’ve developed with him. The kind of effortless where he can be rock hard next to you, and you’ve both decided to just move on from it.

Steve, meanwhile, spends the rest of the movie not watching a single damn minute of it. He’s too busy trying to calm himself down like a teenage boy and figuring out he can get you on top of him again without being too obvious about the whole thing.

He decides he might just start swallowing his pride and let you win sometimes.

I has to make sure I read the guidelines 10 times, so I checked your masterlist and saw a page in the crw about the ancients and the creme Republic. Meeting Y/n then getting infected (sadge ngl) but It actually makes me wonder how would they ACTUALLY meet Y/n, in the normal circumstances (also how would they handle the fact everyone wants to have their bonding time with y/n?)

The Deal with Ancients V1

I went crazy on this one lol. Pretty long read already, so the Republic will be in a part 2 to this request, hopefully that’s ok with ya! Relied on the story with these, so White Lily and Golden Cheese might come later in the future!

Pure Vanilla Cookie

You would follow along Brave and the gang as you went through the many kingdoms in the story, starting with the Vanilla Kingdom. You’d meet Black Raisin and Healer Cookie after a few scuffles, Healer helped cleared up the air which had made Black Raisin greatly apologetic towards you later on, but still needed more time to fully trust you.

Healer Cookie would take a heap of interest towards you instead, he will admit seeing you in battle against the Wafflebots did make him warm inside. He would always be right beside you during the trip to the Vanilla Kingdom and was quick to heal you up if you ever got hurt in fight, he would always brightened up when you give him appreciation for his efforts through hugs and headpatting. Cue shenanigans between him and the group vs Strawberry Crepe as they back and forth kidnap you to their side.

He was protective of you when Dark Enchantress and the CoD expressed interest in you too after previous confrontations, they would be taking you away as they reduce your friends to crumbs, Healer would not allow that. You could really feel the tension in the air as Healer and DE stared each other down from across the table. Pomegranate Cookie would let out a condescending remark or two, how you would be a much better fit among the Cookies of Darkness, you shouldn’t be wasting your time on these cookies, they were beneath a cookie of your level. If Healer Cookie wasn’t angry before, he was now. He refuses to let them bring down the others and he especially refuses to hand over a cookie that he’s grown to care about in the time spent together with him. To be honest, you weren’t really caught majorly off guard when he ended up being Pure Vanilla all along, it was kind of obvious to you.

The visions of his friends shook up PV a great deal, but it seemed another vision was in store for him, a vision of you leading an army of darkness across all of Earthbread, under the order of Dark Enchantress. Seeing you being used for evil and seeing those whom he cared about in peril was too much for him to handle.

You were trapped in a jar alongside him, heavily guarded by magic and creatures. If at worst the plan didn’t go accordingly, the CoD could at least carry you off with them as the others were preoccupied with PV. However the arrival of Black Raisin and PV’s awakening threw a wrench in that plan too as you were rescued before they could whisk you away. PV and Raisin thanked all of you for your help, he held your hand and asked if you would like to remain here to help rebuild the kingdom with him. As flattered as you were, you ultimately tell him that you wanted to continue traveling along your pals to the other kingdoms.

He was saddened to hear this, Raisin was too, but agreed if you promise to write to him often! You sheepishly agreed~

Hollyberry Cookie

Cue Marketplace Ruckus events, thankfully the Brave gang came by and joined along with Knight and Princess Cookie to get the market cookies to back down from a brawl. They were incredible irritable and made it clear to them that this wasn’t over as they headed back to the marketplace. You were pretty much kept within the group after that incident, conversing with Princess as you all approach the grounds for the contest. Cue Raspberry Cookie’s entrance as she confirms Princess’s identity but paused when she saw you, she was almost..enamored by you as her tone changed to being soft and kind as she greeted you, kissing the back of your hand to show her politeness. Princess wasn’t having it though and already you could sense another rivalry incoming as you let out a sigh. What didn’t help was Licorice and co. also being here to win the contest themselves, taking great pleasure that you were here too, they could try taking a shot at convincing you to join the darkness!

You felt parched later on and spotted a bowl of punch that you poured yourself a cup in. You had barely let go of the ladle before another grabbed for it, you turned to see a rather large cookie in a cloak pouring herself a bowl too, you two made eye contact for a second before she strikes a conversation with you! She was quite the friendly cookie with a boisterous laugh and cheerful attitude that would quite literally drag you along as you both walked and talked. You accompanied her to the monster shop where the revelation of what’s happening was brought to her, she knows she had only met you a little while ago, but she wishes for you to help her go to the palace and get her shield back, she wanted to count on you!

It was a lot to take in to have all this dumped on you by a cookie you’ve just met, but if it was for the sake of her kingdom, you suppose you can help her out. The following crushing hug from a grateful huntress was indeed painful, but you could feel the warmth in it. There would be many merchants and maidens that wanted to stop you and have a minute of your time, but the huntress would oddly be firm that you and her have somewhere to be as she took your hand and led the way to the palace, keeping you close to her in the meantime. Meanwhile, the group was torn between the contest and trying to locate you after you’ve gone missing again!

As you two walked through the palace, you can see the huntress look around with a look that suggested that she was…familiar with the place, she reminisce out loud to herself as she looked at the paintings on the wall, including the one where her son had married the queen, Jungleberry Cookie. You wondered on that part, she did have a connection to this place and looking back to Pure Vanilla, you wondered if this cookie was….Hollyberry Cookie?

The huntress would then ask you if you had a family to get back to, you told her you didn’t technically have a family of your own..but you did once have a special cookie in the past, now lost to you. The huntress quickly apologized for bringing up a painful memory, but you reassured her that it was fine, you’ve moved on since then. She brought you into a more gentle hug to help rid of any lingering emotions as she swayed the both of you side to side, she promised that she would protect you from all manners of danger, she..had grown attached to you after the time spent together and seeing you with that subtle pained look just then only endeared you to her. She swears it, she may have turned her back on her legacy, but she won’t ever with you.

Your suspicions earlier would confirmed after a ruckus in the palace has led you and her to face a dragon terrorizing the cookies and Jungleberry tosses her the shield. Holly revealed herself before everyone’s eyes as she showed down with the dragon, whom quickly retreated after a threat of no more sparring from Holly. Getting tackled by Princess Cookie wasn’t on your agenda, but it happened anyway, she was worried to crumbs on where you disappeared to again! The others were worried too and were surprised to see that you were Holly this whole time! It would be barely a second getting free from Princess that Holly would pick you up and hold you close as she announced that you and her became the closest of friends during the time spent together! She wasn’t gonna lie, Princess was a little jealous that it now seemed her grandmother was in the fan club now.

Hollyberry insisted that you stay with her here as the Kingdom rebuilds, Jungleberry and Royal Berry wouldn’t mind either! They wished to properly meet the cookie that’s gotten their daughter and mother/mother-in-law in a fit of fixation. You and the Brave group had to really convince them to let you leave, but Holly made you promise to write letters to her too! It was even harder to pry Princess off of you and when it was time to leave, the market cookies made their return as well. It would be hours later until you could finally leave after spending time with the brawlers and obtaining wares from the merchants. You pulled a wagon holding them with you back.

Dark Cacao Cookie

You tried with all your might to fight off the snow lion with the group, but the beast was too unrelenting and the cold was getting to you. You were on the brink of collapse before Caramel Arrow Cookie came in the nick of time to help defeat the creature and guide you to the front of the castle. It seems the kingdom wasn’t how it used to be, with the situation not being helped with the involvement of a snake whispering nothing but venomous words to the ear of the king!

Wouldn’t you know it, said snake would make himself known when you all approach the citadel gates, Affogato Cookie. He made his character already known as he declares the gates remain close as he smugly brought down Caramel with remarks of her supposed treachery, something she didn’t take kindly to at all. When he took a look at you, something shined in his eyes, he wasn’t gonna let the group in, but he was willing to make an exception to let you into the gates as he gave a wink to you. You shuddered as Caramel stood in front of you protectively, immediately turning down that offer for you, which makes him leave the front with a laugh.

Affogato Cookie would later meet the CoD who made the proposition that they’ll help so that he can take up the throne in exchange to helping them get Cacao out do the picture and bring the kingdom to its knees and find the Soul Jam. He agreed, but was given one more proposition by Pomegranate, that Y/N Cookie were to be brought to them…Affogato Cookie quickly realized who they were referring to and was a bit hesitant on that offer, he preferred that he got to hold onto you instead and it seems the CoD caught on to his hesitance as their faces darkened with hidden anger. Pomegranate makes it clear that you were for DE and them…and for them alone…whatever Affogato has planned for you is nothing compared to what they can do for you, they can easily decimate him along with the kingdom if he doesn’t bring you to them. As much as he didn’t want to, he had to agree, but he’ll try to think of something to bring you right into his arms AND get to keep the kingdom’s throne to himself.

You and the group made your way within the citadel until you came across Affogato once again indulging in sweets with his disciples who will admit that you were quite the sweet looking cookie compared to the rest. Affogato orders the destruction of the Brave gang, but to leave you alone, the CoD needed you or rather, he needed you. You and the group proved yourselves in a fight once again against Affogato and his priests, he became frightful and scurried off when Dark Cacao and Caramel Arrow arrived which is where he and you would finally meet. He noticed the way you held a stance and wielded your weapon that he concluded that you were a fighter and asked you to assist him in matters along with Caramel still happening in the kingdom. Caramel backed it up with the way you held your own with the snow lion earlier, so you agreed to provide help as much as you can!

The CoD swooped in after the duel of Dark Choco and Cacao as Pomegranate laid a spell upon him. You watched in horror as the spell misfired and turned Cacao into an out of control being that began to attack everyone. It was up to you, Caramel, and the Brave gang to calm down the king, it proved to be a dangerous fight with how violent it became with even having a few close calls with his blade, but it was ultimately done as Cacao was dispelled, but you were incredibly tired. Pomegranate saw the prime opportunity of the situation to get both you and the soul jam, only to be stopped by Choco. Pomegranate at the very least tried pushing to grab you and run, but Licorice was bent on fleeing right now and avoid any further trouble, which greatly angered her as they all disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Once the kingdom was free of the monsters, Cacao couldn’t thank the Brave gang and you enough for your efforts. Caramel once more backed it up by commending you and the others for giving all you had into retaking the kingdom from the grasp of darkness. The both of them insisted on having you stay in the kingdom as Cacao wished to have a talk with you and Caramel wouldn’t mind if she can help you train a bunch in combat. The group kinda have to scoot you away from them, but you made a promise to Caramel that you would visit the kingdom!

Curtis Everett x Plus Size!Fem!Reader

Written for @buckysbirdie 's Birthday Bash Writing Challenge! So, I used @tinabelcherseroticfriendfiction 's great idea of using d6s & d20s to choose a prompt and I got:

🍨 Paper Bowl: Chris Evans characters outside of the MCU

🍦 Make Your Own (AU)

🥥 First date

🍐 Person A saves Person B’s day

🍊 Picnic

🥝 A catches B singing while doing chores/cooking/ whatever

words: ~800

warnings: a jealous (and a bit possesive) Curtis, mentions of sex (p in v, unprotected, creampie), mostly fluff but it's not a Curtis Everett fic if he doesn't mildly threaten someone 🥰 lol

a/n: Happy Bday Birdie! 🥳💖 This was super fun!! (I might do another one since this one came to me so fast lol)

a/n: unbeta'd & edited by me. moodboard by me. if you see any mistakes, no you didn't :)

18+ BLOG, MINORS DNI. IF YOU INTERACT AND YOU DON’T HAVE YOUR AGE VISIBLE ON YOUR BLOG YOU WILL BE BLOCKED. 18+ BLOG, MINORS DNI.

You decided on having a picnic for your first date together. A picnic. Curtis doesn't know if he's ever been on a picnic before.

He's nervously watching from afar, wringing his black beanie in his hands as he stands by the park entrance. You're not too far away. Curtis assumes you picked the spot so he could find you easily when he got there. He wants to run to you but he's calculating all the ways he could screw this up and it's holding him back.

You look too perfect to be real. Sitting on a blanket by the lakeside, peeling and cutting up fruit you brought in a cute wicker basket, and singing. Humming the parts of the song you forgot the words to and singing to yourself like some kind of fairy tale princess.

There's no way an angel like you agreed to go on a date with a grease monkey like him. He barely leaves the garage, he doesn't know how to date. It's a miracle he even saw you in that bar. That you gave him the time of day.

Curtis is a giant in every sense of the word, but he feels like he's light as air when you look at him, breathe near him. He makes up his mind then, that he can't leave you alone. So he's walking, no, floating towards you on a cloud he never wants to come down from.

That is until he sees another man approach you. Some asshole jogging in place in stupidly short running shorts with his shirt off is asking for your number and Curtis sees red. It's only the first date. Why is he like this? He doesn't own you, he's being ridiculous. But the man's eyes drop to the neckline of your pretty floral sundress and your ample curves contained within and Curtis doesn't care anymore if he makes a fool of himself in front of you, he can't let this happen.

"No, I'm waiting for my boyfriend actually."

Those words nearly freeze him in place. He's desperate to hear you claim him as yours over and over again.

Your voice is loud, carrying over the water on purpose so anyone nearby might know how uncomfortable you're being made to feel.

The prick's about to say something in response but he's cut off by Curtis' massive paw clamping down on his shoulder.

"The lady said no, pal. Beat it."

You light up when you hear Curtis' low, growling voice and when your eyes meet, Curtis almost forgets himself. Right, intimidating. Have to be intimidating.

"Did you hear me? I said move."

The man sputters in indignation as he's pushed off down the path by Curtis. "Hey! Get your hands off me, buddy!"

"I'm not your buddy, pal."

Curtis grinds those words through his teeth and you have to jump up and grab his arm to stop him from following after the quickly back pedalling man.

"Curtis, it's okay. I'm okay."

Your hand on his bearded cheek seems to snap him back to reality and his gaze softens on you.

"Sorry, angel. Didn't like him coming on to you like that. Can't even sit in the park without some dick for brains trying to check you out."

You laugh at his poor, jealous pout and rest your head on his chest, your arms wrapping around his thick midsection with a tight squeeze.

"My hero. I should've told him I've still got some of you leaking out of me from last night. Think that would've shut him up?"

You lift your head, biting your lower lip to hold back a smile when you feel a groan rumble through his broad chest. Sure enough Curtis has the same heated gaze pointed at you that he had at the bar last night. The last time he had that look on his face he was taking you back to his place so he could worship every inch of you and keep you so stuffed full of him you thought you might burst.

But he promised, in a sleepy half-drunk haze, that he would go on a real date with you. Anything you wanted he'd be there. And here he was, as promised, about to lay with you in the grass to eat fruit and talk and do whatever other adorable first date stuff you wanted to do.

Your heart and your pussy are having palpitations at the thought of just what this man is willing to do for you. But for now you appease the best with a chaste kiss to his lips and he settles.

Curtis takes a deep breath and sits on the laid out blanket, pulling you down with him. With your back to his chest, sitting between his legs and resting against him like he's some great oak tree, you think this might be the best first date you've ever had.

Gravity Falls Fic: Sweet Dreams

My fic for day 3 of @polyshipweek! I chose the prompt bed sharing, and the ship Ford/Fiddleford/Emma-May. This extremely self-indulgent fic is Fiddleford’s college life told through beds and how many people can fit in them. (Also it’s a happy-ending au, spoilers lol) You can read it under the cut or on AO3 here.

For one person, Fiddleford’s bed at Backupsmore is just fine. Creaky and squeaky and don’t smell too good, but it’s a perfectly tolerable size. His roommate’s a heavy sleeper and so any tossing and turning Fiddleford might do won’t wake him up. Once he's used to sleeping in a new place, he's pretty happy with it.

A little over a year in, Fiddleford finds his bed just ain’t remotely workable for two people. Emma-May isn’t staying over much early on, of course, but when they might want a bed, they don’t have one that’s guaranteed private. Ford’s not home a lot of the time, though. He’s out late studying and working on his theories and doing other odd things that Fiddleford doesn’t want to call ‘magic’ or ‘witchcraft’ but... Well, anyhow, even though Ford isn't always around, Fiddleford doesn't want to risk being walked in on, so he and Emmy keep it clean in his room.

It would be nice if they could stay over at Emma-May’s place every now and then, but Emmy lives with her mama. And she’s a lovely woman, seems quite nice, but she’s always home at night. She never spends the night anywhere else, which means there’s not a snowball’s chance in heck that Fiddleford and Emma-May could possibly get away with a little time spent alone together except when Emma-May drags Fiddleford home the odd afternoon that Ms. Dixon ain’t there.

One Thursday night when Fiddleford’s twenty, he and Emma-May get a touch carried away in his dorm room for the first time. (Not the first ever time– see above. Just the first time in the dorm room.) After, Emma-May pulls on a shirt from the dresser (one of Ford’s, as it happens) and they cuddle themselves to sleep like young fools who’re falling quick into love.

In the morning, it’s clear that Ford’s been and gone: books on his bedside table switched out, new dirty laundry in the form of yesterday’s shirt shoved under his bed, the smell of his cheap shampoo hovering in the room, and his bed now made when it had been a mess before. Fiddleford blushes at the thought of Stanford seeing him and Emma asleep together; embarrassed, guilty maybe, and even a little annoyed, though he doesn’t have any right to be. If anything, Ford is probably the one frustrated at his roommate having his girlfriend over without so much as a sock on the doorknob.

Ford, though, who whines about Fiddleford’s banjo playing til he’s blue in the face, doesn’t bring Emma-May up to him once. He doesn’t tease or joke or open his mouth to ask a single thing about her staying over.

Thursdays become days when Ford’s regularly out late and comes back to their room real sneakily, leaving before Emma-May or Fiddleford are up. And every other Monday, too. Fiddleford figures it’s coincidence or that Ford is being remarkably considerate of Fiddleford’s need for sex. He hopes Ford is getting what he needs too, and wonders if Ford’s seeing anyone, and why he hasn’t told Fiddleford anything about it if he is. And if he thinks about it a bit more than most men might think of their pals’ sex lives, so what? Fiddleford’s got a girlfriend, so anything any inner voices of his might say about his interest any handsome fellas who know their way around a polydimensional model of theoretical hyper-magnetic waves can go take a hike.

But back to his actual bed– it’s alright for sex, even if it is too loud. And at least during sex folks are pressed pretty close together most of the time so the lack of space ain’t the worst thing. But Emma-May’s a big gal, and Fiddleford might be wiry but he’s tall, and he likes to have a little elbow room when he’s sleeping. When Emma-May stays over, they both have to lie on their sides, usually with Fiddleford’s arm jammed under Emmy’s ribs. More than once he’s awoken to find he can’t feel his hand, and she complains of bruises. It’s overall sweaty and unpleasant, particularly since Fiddleford is often too hot at night even when he’s alone.

He doesn't want to seem ungrateful, but sometimes he doesn’t get a wink of sleep when Emmy stays over.

It’s absolutely not possible, Fiddleford eventually learns, for three people to sleep in one of his dorm’s tiny little beds. When he’s presented with the really dang nice, even downright enviable problem of what to do with the tall, muscly bodies of the two smart, sweet, funny, goofy, good-lookin’ honeys he now has all to himself, he wants to laugh and maybe just tear out his hair. Only a little, just a touch.

(This is, he knows, looking at things through rose-colored glasses. In the fraught time between being ‘a guy with a girlfriend and a best friend’ and ‘a guy with a girlfriend and a boyfriend’, he has his room all to himself more times than he would like. He’s so wracked with guilt and shame that he can’t hardly sleep sometimes, even with all the space his empty bed affords him. He and Ford and Emma-May are all different combinations of embarrassed and hurt and angry, and it’s hard, it’s dang hard to get it all to work. Once it does start to work, the bed problem is a nice problem to have.)

There isn’t room for all of them on one bed, and the way the room’s laid out, there’s no way to push the beds together without blocking the door, so that’s out. The floor’s filthy, and the biggest patch of open space down there is even smaller than one of the mattresses anyway, so they can’t sleep on the floor, either.

One saving grace is that Ford turns out to be a tenacious cuddler. Awake, he can listen to a request for some space. Asleep, he won’t leave a body alone, which Emmy, seemingly, doesn’t mind too much. So when she stays over, which happens more and more as the months go on, she sleeps with Ford a good bit of the time. It’s a boon for Fiddleford, who gets his bed to himself but can still hear the soft noises of Ford and Emma-May shifting and breathing and snoring all over each other across the small room.

Awake, Fiddleford, Emma-May, and Stanford can fit on one bed only if they all sit up and squish themselves together, which they do sometimes, just to spend time all together as a three-man couple, as Emmy calls it. Ford says he doesn’t mind Fiddleford and Emma-May being the public face of whatever it is they are (as Ford calls it) and to his credit, it seems genuine. It is nice, though, to have one room in one building where the truth can be told. Fiddleford likes being able to kick his legs across Ford’s lap in their room as easily as he takes Emma-May’s hand in public.

When it comes to sex with three people, the logistics alone would be difficult enough without the bed problem. (Worth it, though. Phew.) As it is, there’s an awful lot of kicking, elbowing, bruising, and cursing that goes on when they try to all get frisky together.

That’s a problem that eventually sorts itself out, because while Em has graduated by the time Fiddleford and Ford near the end of their time at BMU, she’s working lots to try to save up (for their future lives together, none of them admit.) Stanford is so mired in his own studies that he quits his part-time job in order to keep his nose to the grindstone and get that PhD he’s after. Fiddleford ain’t much better off, spending every free moment in the library or the manufacturing technology building.

The upshot of all this is that, during the ‘74-’75 school year, it’d be easier to find hen’s teeth than a free couple of hours they all three share. They become something closer to three two-person couples than one three-person one. Fiddleford will snatch a night of sleep in Ford’s bed here, a quick lunch with Em there, and he thinks maybe Emmy and Ford have taken to using her bed at her mom’s place for the purpose she and Fiddleford used to, a little afternoon delight when they can manage it.

Ford tells them he’s found a place he wants to go after college when they’re all on their beds, one exceedingly rare Sunday afternoon together. Ford’s seated on his own mattress, looking across at Fiddleford and Emma-May on Fiddleford’s bed, an odd mix of solemnity and anticipation on his face. It’s an occasion that Ford clearly goes into planning for a breakup. If it were just Fiddleford alone with him, it might have ended up that way, but the three of them all together have something different going on, some kind of strange chemical makeup bonding them together, maybe.

Sure, they do a fair bit of yelling. Emmy cries, Ford looks darn close, and they all end up moving from bed to bed as they alternately argue and make up in odd little bursts of frustrated affection and anxiety. For his part, Fiddleford expected this to end eventually just because, when you get down to it, even people as eccentric as Emmy and Ford and him don’t end up in ‘three-man couples’, it’s just not done. Ford calls him out on it, Fiddleford points out that it was Ford, not him, that was planning on cuttin’ and runnin’, and Emma-May says they’re both acting like cowards. Ford reiterates that this was inevitable, seeing as college relationships end either in breakups or marriage and, well, Fiddleford thinks that’s quite an idea.

He and Emmy are already on Ford’s bed, so he tugs Ford down with them and it’s clear that Ford sees what’s coming by the way his eyes get huge. Fiddleford knows he’s got a crazy grin on, and he only gets about four words in before Emmy is crying again.

It’s surely not the most romantic place for a proposal, but, dingy and tiny though the room may be, it’s still the place the three of them have been able to be themselves the most often, so Fiddleford wouldn’t change a thing about the setting.

They finally get a bed big enough for all of them after moving to Gravity Falls. It’s one Emma-May finds for sale from some weird hippie couple in Albany who makes them, probably for people just like the three of them, Ford points out. Em makes a platform for it while Ford and Fiddleford go to pick it up, and when they’ve wrestled it into the house they fall onto the naked mattress together, exhausted and happy and having realized that they don’t have any sheets that’ll fit the huge thing and they’re probably going to have to make their own.

That night is the first they ever spend all sleeping in one bed. Emma-May curls up behind Ford and wraps her arm around him. Fiddleford watches them drowsily from across the mattress until he can’t keep his eyes open.

Probably only an hour later Fiddleford rouses, feeling the mattress move. Ford, still asleep, slowly advances toward him, Emmy’s arm apparently not enough to keep him in one place. In fact, Emma-May is following along behind Ford, who’s trying to take her arm with him. Fiddleford smiles, letting his eyes close again. He inches closer to Ford and Emmy, figuring that he ought to have seen this coming. Fiddleford slings his free arm over them both, palm resting on Emma-May’s ribs. As if they’ve planned it, Ford and Em heave identical deep, contented sighs. Fiddleford snorts at them. He’s signed up for a lifetime of never having a bed to himself again, with these two around.

Oh, well. There’s much worse fates.

I’m definitely Not The Best at reaching out first (and I am working on it) but I do think I at least make up for it by being Always Ready To Go At Any Time. if I’m in earshot of anyone who vaguely expresses wanting to do something I’m like yeah ok let’s do it I’ll start the car. I like when friends talk about what they like and what they want because it gives me a lot of opportunities to get ideas. oh actually I can talk about this now, chip’s big into their guys at sea so for their birthday I got them one of those telescopes with their fave’s name engraved into it lol. when a pal expresses a want that’s actionable on my part I’m like hell yea this is doable, get rewarded for voicing desire. sometimes I get carried away though and misunderstand if folks say things just to be polite or are saying something they think I want to hear so I have to just not do things. Still figuring out who I go to for what. I think I’ve been relying on people too much

To Cherish Her Essence

(Part 1: Blue Eyes and Greasy Hair)

Can be read separately, but this is part two to Blue Eyes and Greasy Hair and follows right after that cheesy, lovesick, interrupted call with Bucky bear.

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x reader

Warnings: stupid fluff

Word count: 1.3k

A/N [aka me ranting]: OVER two years ago, a very nice reader asked for a second part when I first posted what I intended on keeping as an only part and I finally felt in the right place and inspired to write it! I promise I would think about your request often, @barbar126, I hope you’re still interested lol I am the absolute worst ever and you have all the right to hate me for this. But it’s finally here and I hope you enjoy it so much!!!!! (after you’re done cursing me)<3 … It’s totally okay if you’re not into it no more tho, really ;)

Much love everybody and thanks for sticking around if you initially followed me for the writings, thanks for your patience and always being so kind to me. Love all ur lil pretty faces. Have a nice happy day!

*walks away in shame* (another one that was on my drafts for moooonths.. so it's been longer than two years now)

—

"Steve?"

"Hm?"

Bucky can tell by the sound of it that he got his attention just in time, right before his friend fell into full sleep unconsciousness. A huge grin takes over his face.

"Let me see my girl again."

Steve frowns, opens his eyes in the dark, crickets chirp outside as he hesitates to reply, not sure if Bucky's actually awake or just talking in his sleep. "What?"

"My girl. I wanna see her face."

Steve chuckles lightly, he can hear the smile in Bucky's voice, a clear indicator of his affection. Seeing how absolute smitten his best friend is with you always brings a smile to his face. Having witnessed the big changes Bucky made in the way he sees and carries himself since you started loving him.

"I can imagine, Buck." He offers tenderly. "Been so long, huh?"

"Yeah," The biggest smile never wavering from his lips, and again, "Can I see here, please?"

Steve frowns deeper, but he can't help laughing. "Well, I don't have magic powers. She's miles away, can't help you there, pal."

"Punk, your phone," Bucky says exasperatedly, "Let me see her in your phone." Though he's still smiling, and Steve goes silent on his side of the room.

"When she called, I saw her in the contact photo thing." He explains, to which Steve hums, expecting his friend to continue. Bucky rolls his eyes after a few seconds, and then, "I wanna see that again, Steve! Please, stop being silly."

"Why didn't you just ask for the phone, jeez." With a tint of amusement to his voice, Steve shakes his head, blindly palming for the device across his bed.

It's past eleven when the idea pops in Bucky's mind, being unable to sleep as he rather recalls the conversation he just had with you. Conversation that was rudely interrupted by Tony Stark, Bucky grows internally at the memory. Although being honest he isn't half as mad for the interruption, because Tony just informed them that they'll be able to fly back in two days. Two more days and he'll finally hear your voice, present right next to him. Experience your laugh again in full definition.

Right now, however, hearing your voice on the phone after so many weeks was on top of the best things that had ever happened to him. All tiredness and frustration from a failed mission gone as soon as he picked up the phone. Even more so, as soon as he saw your name accompanied by a circular shaped photo of your face on Steve's phone screen. Which is why he needs his friend's phone so badly right now.

Before his own phone died, Bucky would spend hours looking at pictures of you and him, mostly you. He loved taking candid pictures of you, many of which you didn't know of their existence.

You leaning over the sink in your shared bathroom, caught mid rant as you told Bucky about the newest additions to the pimple's family over your chin.

You licking a chocolate chip ice cream as you sit cross legged next to a pool, listening intently to whatever Wanda is saying next to you. The next, you leaning over Wanda's lap, laughing so hard he could tell there were tears in your eyes.

You slapping Sam's shoulder as you argue with him about Bucky's right to not be actively present in social media.

You sound asleep next to him, your head resting on his arm as you both laid in a picnic blanket outside in the vast compound fields, a little wildflower he had placed in your ear adorning your beautiful face.

He loved capturing simple moments. The ones you seem to treasure the most, he learned early on. You're a huge life enthusiast. Always cherishing the things others take for granted, the messy, the ordinary.

You cooking his favorite meal on a lazy Saturday afternoon, the sun peaking through the window lighting your face beautifully. You opening the latest gift he gave you. You lovingly watering your dear house plants. You standing barefoot on grass.

And then there was this one you did knew about; you laying naked on his bed, your pretty eyes looking directly at the camera, a blanket covering your intimate parts and leaving out just enough to make his head spin ever time he even so much as thought about the photo. You–

Something hitting his stomach stops his mind from revisiting more memories with you through photos he's taken. "You know my code."

"Thanks, pal."

His metal hand reaches for the small iPhone. His fingers pricking with anticipation, he goes straight to camera roll to see what other pictures he can find with you in it. Most of them are group photos with the team. Some of them, he notices with a smile, are candids of you and Bucky. Steve has never shown these to either of you. He smiles at a particular one at the beach, as he remembers that day as the day he started to teach you how to swim.

And as Bucky scrolls down further, he discovers his friend has an interest he didn't knew about. Tons of great candid photos of every member of the team, and brilliant takes of landscapes and nature.

"Hey, Buck?"

Bucky hums in response.

"I couldn't be happier, you know, you and her," He makes a pause and Bucky can tell he's smiling, "I'm so happy you got someone like her. I love you guys and what you've created together. I'll always be there for you two, whatever it is." He finish in his usual serious tone.

Bucky feels his smile tugging his lips wider across his cheeks. After everything, sometimes he can't believe he still has Steve by his side, his heart swells with affection every time he thinks about what a great person he befriended that many years ago.

"Thanks, Steve. I really appreciate it. I love you. We love you."

"Sleep well, Buck." He says, turning on his side on the mattress, "If you feel like doing something weird, just lock yourself in the bathroom."

"Shut up." Bucky laughs.

"And leave my phone here."

"Punk."

"Jerk."

–

"Oh my God!"

Nat drops the popcorn she was throwing into her mouth, Wanda stops in the air, mid-sitting next to you, her drink on the brink of spilling. Steve stops dead in his tracks, stands still next to Bucky –the only person that seems to not get startled by the high pitched scream you just let out.

"Bucky!" Comes next, another yell.

"My love!" Comes out of his mouth, right before catching you.

Steve having to step aside when your bodies crash right next to him, a small chuckle bubbling out of his mouth as he moves further into the common area, greeting the girls then disappearing towards the kitchen.

Wanda shakes her head in amusement, getting comfortable in the couch you just abandoned. "Jeez, they're loud."

Your blanket and bowl of snacks was thrown hastily into the coffee table as soon as you faced the direction heavy footsteps were coming from and made eye contact with what you've been longing for for four long weeks, your favorite sight in the universe.

Bucky.

"It's over, Wan. Lovesick people is back in town." Nat declares with a smirk of her own, her body sprawled in the big chaise lounge, pressing play to start the movie because it was naive to believe you would join back.

"Bucky, you're here!" You babble, wrap your arms around him as if to not let go for a long time, dig your nose in his neck, breathe in his scent. "Tony said one more week at least!"

Bucky grumbles, rolling his eyes as he holds you flush against him. "Tony is a jerk, he knew we were coming back today."

"Hey! What's wrong with surprises?" Tony demanded through a granola bar trapped between his teeth as he comes out of the kitchen just in time to hear what you said to each other.

Though he's completely ignored as he walks past the two of you, plugging a screwdriver into a broken gadget between his hands.

"Baby!" You practically squeal and Bucky can't help smiling lovingly, "Are you okay? My God, I missed you so much."

How exactly did the couples get together? Like who started dating first, and we’re there ever other crushes (This is about the Double Life kids btw)

-💀

Oh yeah I figured

The coupling of the kids is actually a bit of a difficult question, because honestly I just kinda paired them up at complete random lol. When I couple my OCs I usually give it a lot of thought, but here I didn’t care because I thought nothing more would come of it after that first post

Boy was I wrong

But the one thing I have known is the order in which they got together. Firstly Liana+Jassy, lastly Jekiv+Wes, with Novo+Gertrude there in the middle

(Also the reason Johnny was the one without a partner is because whenever I think of these kids there’s always one I forget for a moment, and this time it was Johnny boy. Sorry to all the Johnny fans)

I do have some thoughts

So in the beginning of Double Life, Team Scarian and Team Smalletho were actually kinda bros. They weren’t like full allies, but they were pals ya know. Couple of guys being dudes. So I imagine that slipped into the kids as well

In the beginning, the care taking of the children was probably not the highest priority on everyone’s mind. Sure, they were just infants (or an egg in Liana’s case), but this was two weeks after the games started, everyone was scrambling to set up their bases and get as much material as possible before it ran out in their limited space

So sure, as babbus the kids got a lot of attention cause you can’t just leave an infant alone, but when the kids grew into toddlers certain parents would kinda collab in it, like one of them watches the kids while the other three grind

So Jassy and Liana have always been pals. They were naturally drawn to each other, as strange as it is. I mean, on first glance this silent ninja and charming business entrepreneur have nothing at all in common. But in the famous words of Selena Gomez herself, Everything is not what it seems.

Jassy is a dumb pun loving goofball at heart, who idolizes her dad to the point where he can do no wrong, and is a huge geek for horror stories.

Liana is an overthinking know it all with self worth issues, that has a bit of a sciency side and a curious it’s to always learn more, and a tendency for trouble.

So yeah they get along.

I don’t know how they would get together actually, but they feel like one of those couples who’s just always been you know. Like if you’d ask any of the others when Liana and Jassy started dating, they would probably just shrug because they don’t know, they’ve been together for as long as they can remember. Even the two of them probably forget how and when it happened from time to time.

Novo and Gertrude is interesting, because it takes the most eccentric and crazy of the kids, and pair him with the most laid back and chill one. I love dynamics like that.

Unlike Jassy and Liana, I doubt Box duo and Scott/Pearl would have had much collaboration with raising their kids. Scott had Cleo, Pearl would just bring Novo with her or leave him with Tilly, and Box duo had Martyn, who abandoned his kid.

So Novo and Gertrude would get together when they got older and got put on a longer leash, aka when the kids just did whatever. I feel like if the kids would ever do something they would pair Novo and Gert together because, well, she’s chill and can keep an eye on him. Also if he gets himself into trouble she can just carry him away from it.

So the two spent a lot of time together, talking and bonding. A common ground they had were their parental issues, with one of their parents looking towards others outside of the soul bond while the other was just left alone.

Gertrude has some built up issues there, and Novo was surprisingly a great listener. He was kind of the only other person able to relate to her problems.

(Well, Liana can relate as well, but she some problems with repressing her emotions, plus her and Gert aren’t exactly that close)

So yeah, smooching and forming a relationship was just the next natural step lol. They were like fourteen, what do you want from me?

And then there’s Jekiv and Wes. The two who just kind of…got grouped together in my mind. Looking at their personalities and their habits, there isn’t much that actually indicated that they would be a good couple. Jekiv is sarcastic with a lot of curiosity, and a real fascination with death. Wes is anxious with severe OCD and imposter syndrome.

They don’t click in the same way the other two couples do, and I think in universe that’s kind of true as well.

As I’ve mentioned before, Johnny is aromantic. Romantic love is not something he’s interested in at all, in fact it kinda grosses him out. He’s got nothing against platonic love, or sexual attraction, but he just doesn’t feel the romantic thing, and he’s okay with that.

As a bab he was probably a bit scared to tell others that though.

So when Gertrude and Novo got together, he would probably be the first to push Jekiv and Wes towards each other. Because, if those two are dating then oh no, there won’t be anyone left for him to date, whatever will he do???

And soon the others found out what he was trying to do, and gladly assisted, because hey they’re happy in their relationships, plus the two of them are perfect together! They are….they have….well they just are!

So yeah, Wes and Jekiv were kinda forced to be together 24/7.

“Oh sorry I can’t hang out today, I promised mom I’d help her upgrade the farm! But hey Jekiv is free!”

“I heard Wes is working on an extension to the pool, maybe you should go and help!”

“Jekiv is trying to capture a skeleton, why don’t you help him! You’re strong and stuff!”

And yeah, Wes and Jek didn’t mind each other’s company. Sure, they didn’t have that much in common, but they still had enough common ground to hold multiple conversations.

And yeah, when they both were tricked into going on a “romantic dinner” in the bowel of The Relation, why not just start dating?

It wasn’t a bad relationship. Jekiv is extremely patient (Something that kind of stems from sitting around half of the time just waiting for everyone to wake up so he’s not alone anymore), and is great support to Wes’ anxiety attacks. It doesn’t matter to him that Wes has to check every door three times before they leave, or it takes an hour to set the table just because everything needs to be precise.

The same goes for Wes, he’s good at listening when Jekiv needs to let out steam about his dad, or his mom, or Novo who won’t leave him the fuck alone. He’s not that creeped out by the death experiments, and will gladly assist Jek in getting any body part he can from a Zombie or Creeper. He’s a good fighter while Jekiv isn’t, so he will kick anyones ass who dares mess with him.

They’re good friends! Just a bit of an awkward couple.

They do romantic things, go on dates, kiss, the devils tango, they just…kind of stumbled into it.

And yeah, over time they probably grew to love each other romantically, but they both know that from the start their relationship wasn’t genuine. It was partly just to get everyone off their backs about it lol.

And as for crushes, well the kids have kinda crushed all over the place.

At least three of the kids has had crushes on Wes, Gertrude, and Liana. Hot people stay hot.

Novo used to crush on Jassy. She was dating Liana at the time so he never told her.

Wes has had a crush on Novo, who’s straight so yeah.

Gertrude has a crush on Johnny. He rejected her when she told him, and they still remained friends.

Jekiv is the one who’s had crushes on the most people actually. Only one he hasn’t felt anything for is Novo, but that’s cause they’re like pseudo brothers

(TW for mention of animal death, using pets' meat in food, alcohol abuse, child neglect)

So one thing that stood out to me about Grave a year or so ago is the fact that nobody (but [implied] police) stopped him from his burger frying endeavor. May I remind you, at the pet cemetary. Explicitly implied that he dug up animal graves and used the corpses there

You'd think his parent(s) would try to stop it. Which led me to the first idea. That the guy is neglected and did this due to desparation

(An old sketch, 30.10.2021)

Then I remembered this from "The Sock": mr Small mentions a guy lying to him, and now working at the cemetary. Now, it was most likely a human (as human as it gets in Elmore) one, since it was next to a prison. But changing your jobs is entirely possible, which led to the second idea: Grave (Samuel Corpeno) is that guy and left Elmore Jr High school after lying about something to mr Small

("Disturbing Abnormality", 2.01.2022)

Next thing was this: "The News". To be exact, the alpaca farmer guy

Does he remind you of anybody?

Just.... an interesting coinsidence. I know and think this was most likely not intended by the designers and writers, but still. It led to the final piece: the farmer divorced Grave's mother, which led to her drinking excessively [the reason for divorce? more likely than you think] and neglecting Sam

Which snowballed to him possibly doing or saying something at school [since mental instability, this dude ain't fine], that got him into mr Small's office. There, he tried to lie his way out, and this is where:

A. The truth was revealed and he ran away to escape the consequences

Or B (the one I went with). Mr Small got too close to Grave's household problems, and the latter ran away to not get into more serious toruble with legal organs

Either way, the guy first works at the people cemetary, where he becomes pals with Carrie, but gets replaced with Larry. Grave doesn't remember who exactly replaced him, so he doesn't hold much grudge against Larry

(TAWOG - After School Special) (pls read Gumball BOOM comics they are so good) (also human skull is freaky)

So he goes to pet cemetary. Haven't decided yet if he actually worked there or just sold the burgs. He gets caught by the police, which leads him to become a cashier, which brings us to the present time. Working at the same place, Larry becomes a father figure for him, then meeting with Karen and Lily. And so, he gets accepted into the Needlemeyers' family :)

NOW. Why did I tell you all of this information?

... At first, I wanted to tell a story. But now it feels like something that needs a SEPARATE comic, and not just another ramble. Sheesh. At least I spilled the beans about Sammy more lol

Mind you, this is just a retelling of most important RECENT events for him, I still have more content. Not just angst, but fluff as well. Who can forget the noodly glitchy boyfriend Grave has? :)

Stay tuned for more!! I guess.................. See you all someday~ Stay fresh!

tsubomi? for the character thing

How I feel about this character

honestly... as an anime only, I haven't gotten to know her much. I think she's got great potential and I'm excited to see where she goes in the show (I think she's got a major part coming up soon...) That last ep was really interesting with her fearing her friends will turn on her... perhaps she suffers from the same complex as Teruhashi (from saiki K, but like more seriously taken) where she has to be perfect? apparently she's popular and well liked, maybe she feels like she needs to keep up that facade for others. She fears judgement HARDCORE... but this is all speculation based entirely on the last episode (season 3, getting carried away 100%)

also forgot to mention but she's mysterious, isn't she? she's been watching mob... I wonder why that is. She came to reigens office, knows mob works there by the pictures, and idk if she made up the story about the cram school guy or not... she was watching him interact with emi, so she knows about emi and... she's been watching him? that's a little weird, isn't it? what's her fucking angle? now that I think of it, until I get an explanation, that's a little creepy.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

nobody lol. i think she won't end up with mob. but if she and mob did date i guess it'd be cute? who knows.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

mob? idk i think they could be great friends and be really honest w eachother... perhaps theyre the kind of pals where it's like... mob had feelings for her but after she rejects him and is like "just friends?" they actually become super good friends and realize it's better that way.

My unpopular opinion about this character

I don't think I have any! maybe what I said before about her spying on mob being creepy.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

more. more about her. please. i wanna know more... but I think I will soon enough :)

NO SPOILERS!

Been seeing you posting abt Final Fantasy XIV and wanted to see if you think it’s worth getting into! I‘ve been considering giving it a shot but none of my pals seem wanna try it, and I’ve got like a million games in my queue to try out lol, so I’m curious if you think its worth playing!

I should be clear this is, like, my third time trying to get into it, but, considering this time I actually DID get it to stick yeah, I think it's worth it

I paid for the expansion stuff cause I wanted to use the party and guild features but the free trial on its own is legit expansive

when people talk about how it goes up to level 70, you have to consider the fact that that includes not just the main story, but the multiple jobs/roles that all have their own leveling mechanics, story and minor missions, and the different style of plays from typical combat to gathering and crafting mean that you can just keep leaving and coming back to try everything

The key is to really think about what you want to go for, because some classes might be perfect for you, while others might turn you away

Even being "solo", the game does give you a chocobo mount and one quest later you can have it fight with you how you want (offensive/defensive/healer), and while F2P loses some key communication features, most of the people I've joined up with in dungeons will either hard carry you or be friendly enough to accommodate any issues you have

And the MMORPG aspect of the game also means that depending on circumstances you can end up battling alongside people in the open world, even outside of parties, or heal/get healed by a random while being off on your own

Also, if you're north american, we got a new data center, like, really recently apparently, which means a constant EXP boost, and the game also goes out of its way to give new characters help so they can learn the ropes

Basically, yeah, for something that's free on its own, it's already worth it, and if it hooks you (and you can find people to play with to justify the party/guild features) you could justify paying the first cost by saying "well, I probably would've pirated a game that cost more than this anyway", and then you also get 1 million gil and 15 days of subscription for free if your new character hits 30 on a newer server

Indecisiveness, my greatest weakness 😔

Ok so my 4sure team vs. Possible contenders (originally was gonna bring my hatched happiny Egg n if I got down to her I automatically lost but uhhhh I'm not gonna do that lol also not bringing palkia aka Pal :) bc if u kill a legendary u are going to Jail sooo)

Samwise (bibarel) she was the first pokemon I caught, she and jr were besties, I literally named her samwise bc I knew she would be our rock and she would carry us n since jr can't be here I feel like she has to fill his spot (also works out bc they r both water types anyway) ✨️ [ability: simple (Stat changes are doubled) • item: mystic water (boosts water moves + belonged to free jr previously) • moves: super fang / surf / yawn / swords dance] fun fact: super fang halves hp and brine is super effective on half hp or lower targets and I am SOOOO SALTY that she CANNOT learn brine 😔😔😔

Jubilee (blissey) SHES A TANK obv. Will hopefully mostly be used for emergency healing during battle ✨️ [ability: natural cure (status conditions cured upon switch out) • item: TBH I don't rly have one for her so rn she just has a cheri berry, I might change it but idk lol • moves: soft-boiled / echoed voice / dazzling gleam / last resort]

Evil >:3 (weavile) this beast has been been raised for one (1) purpose and that is to destroy Cynthia's garchomp (but im hoping she can handle some of lucians team too ;_;) ✨️ [ability: pressure (ups enemy PP usage) • item: icicle plate (boosts ice moves) • moves: shadow claw / dark pulse / ice beam / hone claws]

Dewey (roserade) has some pretty good moves (toxic does work in the long run and grass knot hits pretty hard on most pokemon), can do work vs Bertha, won't be helpful vs aaron or flint ✨️ [ability: natural cure • item: big root (increases healing from absorb) • moves: absorb / synthesis / grass knot / toxic]

King (purugly) only recently started training him so im not sure if his friendship is maxed out BUT he knows retaliate so if I do have a casualty 😤 ✨️ [ability: thick fat (halves damage from fire and ice type moves) • item: no item yet! • moves: body slam / substitute (I also have protect and endure TMs that I can use instead?? I think having one move where he can like. Fully negate damage might be helpful?) / attract (I might replace this one OTL LMFAO)

Rolf (medicham) high dps/move combo ✨️ [ability: pure power (doubles his attack stat) • item: fist plate (boosts fighting moves) • moves: reversal / drain punch / mind reader / high jump kick]

Mystery (rapidash) fast + has kind of a type advantage, she feels like a safe bet ✨️ [ability: run away (useless in this setting lmao) • item: amulet coin (subject to change obv) • moves: fire blast / flame wheel / smart strike / flare blitz

Teeny (raichu) another high dps but with special attack type moves instead of regular (on the other hand teenys uhhhh not my fastest pokemon but its fine) [ability: static (may inflict paralyze on contact) • item: wise glasses (ups sp attack moves) • moves: charm / light screen / thunder / thunder punch]

Cupquake (quagsire) is ONLY weak to grass type moves also knows earthquake And toxic, feels like another pretty safe bet?? ✨️ [ability: water absorb (gains hp from water attacks) • item: metronome (increases damage from consecutive moves, might use a different item) • moves: mud shot / earthquake / sludge bomb / toxic]

On the flip side I can try to believe in the power of friendship and bring someone else in place of Jubilee and hope for the best?? (On the other hand: dazzling gleam can help vs Cynthia's spiritomb)

I feel like king is like. A gimmick pick, he'll mostly pay off if someone goes down and even that's kind of a long shot?? No offense to him ofc but like.. get in line lol.

Dewey and Cupquake both kno toxic and they both have high damage moves (earthquake and grass knot) given that cupquake technically has fewer weaknesses she would Probably be safer to choose? Flip side Dewey has absorb and synthesize so he should have a lil self sustaining (maybe 🥲, esp if the enemy has been hit w/ toxic he can tank a few hits w/ absorb + synthesize n then use grass knot)

I feel like. I won't be able to one shot most of these guys like they are built to not be one shot so playing slow might be the move and teeny is also set up for that a lil bit: charm to lower attack and light screen to lessen damage, thunder and thunder punch also do a lot of damage on their own.

Rolf's move combo of mind reader + high jump kick, with drain punch for poke damage + sustain is also a decent choice??

N finally Mystery is fast and has high damage, she is quite literally a one trick pony tho bc that's. P much all she is good at.... i think she and Evil >:3 could both do damage to Aaron's team, but Mystery may be able to hold her own vs. Flint's team. Then again: Cupquake would also probably be a good pick

In conclusion IDK LMAO I'm gonna go have lunch, I'm glad I typed all of this out! I'll come back later when I decide I'm gonna try to get thru all of it tonight bc haha I realized recently that I started this nuzlocke like......................2............... years... ago............. SOOOO YOU KNOWWWWW UM 😶‍🌫️🫣😅🥲🫡💀

ps. if u read all this mwah

I know different interpretations of a work are generally enriching and cool... but c!dream villan interpretations is like how to tell me you only watch Tommy without saying you only watch tommy.... which would be fine but its not a great place to be making statements about the whole nature of the dsmp lol

Wild speculation, but sometimes I wonder if like, because the dsmp didn't really start as a narrative, and a lot of fans don't nessecarily enter it expecting a narrative, but then there is one and the fandom is really discourse heavy and everyone is sort of excpeted to have an opinion while maybe not expecting to form one from the begining or not having a ton of experience with narrative in a way that would "expect" them to have an opinion or not take things at face value??, I don't know if I explained that well at all... and I don't really even think thats right nessecarily... but like wow sometimes some of the takes about power and government and villany...

Honestly, it makes sense!!!

I think something interesting is like.... looking at how animatics have shaped the like tone and culture of the fandom essentially. Like, an interesting fact that I didn't really fully grasp until SUPER recently is like...

c!Wilbur out the gate admits he is manipulating c!Tommy. Like his first youtube video on the Dream SMP he admits his goal is to manipulate c!Tommy and people like c!Tommy into helping him achieve a potion ("drug") empire to monopolize on potions because there were a lot of people on the server who like to min-max, which is to put all of your effort into this one specific skill essentially. so like... i know minecraft doesnt have a skill tree but if it did, it would be putting all your points into that one specific branch of a skill tree. So he wanted to exploit the labor of all the TommyInnits to.... maintain a Potion Empire.

THIS IS A LONG POST BC I GOT CARRIED AWAY SO BUCKLE UP

And I don't think a lot of the fandom who joined later on knows this. I certainly didn't until like a week or so ago? Like... I knew c!Wilbur had been manipulative from the start because I'm a mod of (shameless self promo incoming) @dsmpanalysis and we have a lot of different POVs in that mod team and discord and we talk about it really frequently. I joined the fandom as someone who was really big on L'manburg ESPECIALLY crimeboys, and have turned into.... *gestures vaguely to my blog*

And ngl I owe a lot of it to @1-michibiki-1 in terms of c!Dream "Apologism" but all of the mods there have expanded my thoughts and views on the storylines of this narrative.

My application consisted of like largely essays about like... how I think Dream was the villain but he was meant to be the villain because you don't get any insight into his character WHICH.... IS A FAIR ASSUMPTION AT FIRST GLANCE. People are easily villainized when you cannot get a glimpse into their thought process. It's easy to dwindle someone down into this flat character and starting out I knew Dream didn't stream the SMP on purpose.

And I personally came to the conclusion of "Oh! So Dream is supposed to be the villain." However as the story continued and I learned more about what Dream went through I began to realize that... it's more than likely a form of a red herring. My opinions on this were immediately solidified when I watched Ranboo's 2 MIL stream because both Ranboo AND Dream agree on enjoying red herrings.

There have been MANY times were Dream has said that c!Dream is a complex character and he's not a wholly evil guy and there have been times where the narrative has honestly just proved that.

Anyways, what's important though was that... I learned most of this from other people who were more focused on c!Dream rather than myself. Eventually I shifted from c!Tommy to c!Ranboo and c!Techno after c!Tommy betrayed c!Techno and I began to realize.... everything I learned before hopping in wasn't exactly what it seemed.

Part of this is because I'm older, I heavily identify with c!Techno's sense of loyalty and philosophies on government, but I especially identify with the anguish c!Techno voiced in... a lot of lore but especially the lore around Doomsday.

I'm not 16 anymore. I don't always feel wronged by adults, or older people in my case, whenever they absolutely have done something wrong by me, but I do feel wronged by my close friends. I also felt like c!Tommy's sense of loyalty didn't line up with mine after what felt like him constantly flip-flopping and refusing to understand c!Techno's morals on government didn't line up with his.

In short, it was easier to identify with Tommy in these animatics versus in the actual stream content because c!Tommy is played by a 16 year old. I'm not a teenager and my line of thinking doesn't entirely line up with people that age anymore. It's harder to place myself in the same shoes of someone's OC who is played closer to their actual age, because I'm not that age.

Regardless, I was still on the c!Dream is a villain train. I wasn't ever like... c!Dream is repulsive I hate him, but I was like omg hot villain lad go brrr.

Even when the first like... mellohi, panic room, Ranboo lore stream popped up I thought "Oh! c!Ranboo corruption arc?"

And I was excited because I really wanted this shy, nervous character to turn into villain buddies with his good pal c!Dream. I'm a total sucker for villains and corruption arcs and all that good shit.

SO I STARTED GETTING REALLY INTERESTED IN ENDERSMILE. I'VE BEEN ON ENDERSMILE SQUAD OUT THE GATE. NOT THE SAME WAY I AM NOW, BUT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED THEM TO TEAM UP.

So... upon not really keeping up with c!Dream and being relatively??? indifferent? I don't think I started arguments on c!Dream back then, but I might have. But I remember like... starting to participate more whenever c!Dream came up and looking more into Dream's character BUT ESPECIALLY TALKING WITH OUR SERVER'S C!DREAM SPECIALIST MICHI ABOUT DREAM A LOT MORE.

And because Michi has been a watcher since day one and was a DTeam fan rather than a SBI fan, she was able to provide me with more information on how the server worked pre-Tommy but especially pre-Wilbur.

Now, you could definitely argue well Michi probably has clear bias but it made sense to me when I looked back on how the storyline had been constructed and was going along, and everyone in the server talks a lot about our own biases and how we want people to maybe not lean so hard on them. Michi would also provide like anecdotes on what had happened and I'm sure links were probably provided at one point but the point was I felt like Michi had no reason to lie or manipulate how the story was told and if she did, eventually someone would have pointed it out because... Group of like... right now it's around 20 or more analysts but I don't remember how many at the time there were. POINT BEING, WE'VE ALL GOT POINTS TO PROVE AND IN MY EXPERIENCE NOT MANY OF US HAVE BEEN SHY TO PROVE THEM.

So if anyone ever had any differing opinions they would be talked about and we literally had and still have discussions.

REGARDLESS.... I DIDN'T FACT CHECK IN DEPTH BECAUSE I THOUGHT PEER REVIEW WAS ENOUGH WHEN YOU HAVE LIKE HOURS UPON HOURS OF STREAMS TO WATCH.

Anyways. Eventually I started paying closer attention and looking more into c!Dream lore but only recently have I started to triple check before speaking about c!Wilbur lore because I know everyone has biases and while I did trust everyone's thoughts and analysis in the discord, whenever I make essays I typically like it to be largely air tight and if theres a mistake, I want it to be because I forgot not because I just trusted what was said. Plus, I wanted to get down to the specifics of how Wilbur had always started with manipulation on the mind.

SO I WATCHED HIS FIRST VIDEO ON THE DREAM SMP.

AND WHAT I WAS NOT BY ANY MEANS EXPECTING WAS WILBUR TO SAY WORD FOR WORD, VERBATIM,

"SO WHY DON'T I START AN INDUSTRY WHERE I USE THE TOMMYINNITS OF THE WORLD TO WORK FOR ME, TO CREATE THINGS THAT THE MIN-MAXERS OF THE WORLD WILL WANT."

Like... this is in no way an attempt to like hardcore villainize c!Wilbur like everyone does Dream, it's just more so to like REALLY outline how far off a lot of fandom interpretation of c!Wilbur is....

Because of SBI focused animatics.

Now, when I joined I watched A LOT of animatics that really highlighted like... Wilbur being this self-loathing JD-esque, "I destroyed it because I had to because the world was against me because no one loved us, Tommy" type of character. At least... that's what it came across as.

And it definitely highlighted the fact that Tommy was a victim, which he is. He is undoubtedly a victim and no not even any dream apologist can change my mind otherwise. Tommy, despite being an instigator sometimes, didn't deserve the abuse he received.

But these animatics never shown the fact that c!Wilbur started L'manburg as a shady ploy to exploit people like c!Tommy and vilify c!Dream so he could have power.

And that was easy because Dream and Tommy had wars before. They had spars and pranks and here's the plan to take back my disks and here's the plan to out smart the thieving little child etc etc.

And all of the animatics I watched never mentioned this. Neither did the recaps though. The recaps gave the events flat out, there didn't sound like there was bias, and honestly I don't really know if there was rather than like... a lack of nuance. And it's hard to provide a recap with that much nuance in a short period of time for a youtube video, to be perfectly fair.

However, this creates a perfect formula for entirely rewriting the history of a server. c!Wilbur quite literally fucking succeeded TO A META LEVEL. He slandered and ran smear campaigns against Dream and like he even does that with Sapnap in the beginning. But what's crazy is that it transferred over into the meta! Most of this fandom understands Wilbur as a victim of mental illness, and yeah maybe? He definitely wasn't mentally well by the end of pogtopia, but he never started out with honorable intentions. L'manburg was never a victim, only its citizens. The TommyInnits of the world.

I just think it's like... such an interesting case study. Because this is like... an opinion like shared by at least half of the fandom, but the vilifying of c!Dream is shared by MOST of the fandom I would argue. Which is like even more crazy for me because that was c!Wilbur's goal!!!

LIKE I GO INSANE WHEN I THINK OF THIS BECAUSE HIS REACH IS JUST TOO POWERFUL. HE'S NOT EVEN ENTIRELY REAL, JUST A MANIPULATIVE PERSONA OF SOME BRITISH GUY.

And I mean... maybe people who have watched Wilbur's video on the SMP still maintain this idea that Wilbur wasn't always the bad guy, but honestly... I wouldn't be surprised if their introduction was still an animatic. Like bias is hard to check and I'm not going to lie I could have sworn I watched both Wilbur's AND Tommy's video on the SMP in the beginning and yet I STILL was a ride or die for tragic yet on some level still honorable Wilbur and a resilient Tommy.

Like... upon watching Wilbur's first video... possibly again I was surprised because I thought I did watch it like right before I even started watching the streams and yet I was still so invested in c!Wilbur as this tortured anti-hero.

It took 6 months of... not being in an echo chamber, full of multiple different people of different ages, different stream POVS, and people who joined the fandom at different points in time.

IDK IF THIS WAS EVEN ENTIRELY RELEVANT IT JUST FELT TANGENTIALLY RELEVANT AND THIS WAS SOMETHING I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT FOR A HOT MINUTE AFTER LIKE WATCHING WILBUR'S FIRST VIDEO AGAIN.

TLDR;

SBI CENTRIC ANIMATICS HAD A LASTING AFFECT ON THIS FANDOM AS IT'S HARD TO GO BACK AND ACTUALLY CHECK THE NARRATIVE FOR SOLID FACTS FOR YOUR OWN INTERPRETATION BASED ON THE FACT THAT THIS NARRATIVE SPANS OVER HUNDREDS OF HOURS WORTH OF TWITCH STREAMS.
