Fragments - episodes 15-18 author notes

Shall we sit back and go over the recent episodes together? C:

You can find similar breakdown posts on older episodes in my pinned!

Obligatory ShB spoiler warning.

Any theme song enjoyers? I associate this song with this moment, and generally with Exarch’s longing and excitement that can’t be shown. “And in my usual voice, I say, there you are”.

Go away grandpa, you crashed an otherwise perfect party :’>

Had this followed the msq more closely, i.e. had Feo Ul not been the first to find Vivi, or had it happened in an environment more familiar to him, he might've asked Exarch if he's shy, or just ugly. Kinda like if you’re a bully in your school, you might still wanna keep a low profile in a new school.

Vivi treads lightly in a new world, at least tries to. He doesn't yet know how thick or thin is the ice under his feet.

Exarch doesn’t know about the tree since he was busy waiting for Vivi in the Ocular, having just finished the summoning spell, tense and giddy, hood up and all. Minutes passed, nothing happened, then Exarch started getting antsy and finally turned on his tv to find Vivi in Lakeland.

“Hey it could’ve been your spine” I hope is clear: as in Vivi could’ve landed on Lyna instead of the aforementioned tree, not a threat to snap her spine in a fight. He knows better than taunting random people.. Moreover, people stronger than him x’D

Artist achievement unlocked: managed to make a hooded person look expressive. IN THE BACK VIEW.

SPROUT?!

He’s more cute than he deserves to be here and you’ll perceive him.

Being at the end of the episode, “we’re friends, yes” is the first and only line almost nonchalantly tossed to Vivi! Exarch wanted to buy time and observe him, how he’s changed, how’s best to approach him now.

..And Vivi needs rest and new clothes, he spent AN ENTIRE DAY in one outfit. We've seen him around several people so far, and, while he's always genuine, he's the most himself with Exarch, even at this early stage.

But yeah, he’s jaded, regrets many choices in his life and wants his money back.

Vivi's tailored for this ship. Before I even knew that I wanted to write a comic of this size, I asked myself, what condition does he need to be in at the beginning of ShB for the chemistry to happen? The answer was, well, "terrible". I’ve got the juicy deets, but you’d have to be patient and keep an eye out for more flashbacks sprinkled in throughout the story.

What matters now is that, finally, both of them are sufficiently tired to start noticing something else than gremlins in each other.

Have fun living with the knowledge that there’s no face where it’s supposed to be :>

Exarch has a way with the fae: don't flinch, offer them something nice. He offers rest to Vivi without hesitation, as soon as he sees his emotionally battered state. And, oh, he’s still an archer, landing that perfect shot first try. This here is a genuine spark of interest, surprise and gratitude in Vivi’s eyes.

I went balls deep with the visual subtext here. Despite being shown up close, Vivi’s broody face takes on a secondary role as his mind literally closes in on Exarch in that moment, on the mystery man that’s suddenly so unlike the rest. Even if he’s yet another quest-giver, even if shit’s on fire, he allows Vivi to go? Rest? Have some time for himself???? Exarch is, or is about to become, his only light in the darkness :3c

Exarch’s stiff posture is also intended here. He must’ve rehearsed this scene sooooooooo many times, he was prepared for hostility, interrogation, tantrums, but this Warrior’s indifferent and just wants to leave?

Magical boy de-transformation! Headcanon time, two of them even.

Firstly, the Tower can register living presence in its vicinity, a passive ability which Exarch can casually tap into. Being aware of an entire city’s population is, mildly put, overwhelming, thus he’s learned to shrink the “radar” area down to his Ocular, or wherever he’s at the moment and whenever he actually needs it. He feels that Vivi’s indeed left, therefore he can safely remove the hood.

Secondly, the hood shadow’s magicked. The panel above demonstrates how it’d look naturally, if it were a normal shadow. But he casts a pitch black glamour that also extends to his hair.

Just a cool crystal flare that I feel like showing off :>

None of you would believe me now if I said this isn't a horny scene? Although this looks lewd, for someone who’d spent a century clinging to memories and tales the lingering scent is just another confirmation that all of this's real. He can't even touch the WoL (or so he thinks), the scent could be the most he ever gets. Bearing in mind the stress of the day, I genuinely don’t think that he’s in the mood here. But no worries, he’ll get plenty of horny opportunities later on :>

The subtle characterization in the way he opens a door to a supposedly empty, still unknown room.

An unironically normal reaction to the Light, and shadowbringing \o/

This. This goes into my personal collection of the best vivifaces I’ve drawn.

He’s quick to react to a threat (?) popping out of nowhere in a supposedly safe room.

GOMU GOMU NOOOOOOO-

I know the arm’s too long, but I like to incorporate some animation princliples :>

The Champion of Eorzea uses a stick to cure a 100 years old depression, ca. 2023, colorized.

Vivi didn't mean to pierce him, actually. While the space's more than enough for living, it's still cramped for fighting as a dragoon, and he simply misjudged the distance while spinning around and lunging at the source of that eerie voice. There’s also an ooc explanation: I couldn’t quite align all of this in one frame, and thought hey, Ardbert’s a ghost, it’s okay to pierce him!

Both are quick to handwave the fact, and let’s be honest, self-defense of that sort must be a mundane thing for a WoL.There’s more important stuff to discuss. Both are desperate to vent to someone they could trust. They may disagree on things, but generally they vibe pretty well with Ardbert.

A lil shoutout to @agent-jaselin for commenting this under the respective episode. I almost forgot to point it out while making this post. Vivi tries to see if he can relate to another WoL, if his struggles are valid, or if he’s overreacting to a typical hero life. Ardbert had a whole friend group adventuring alongside him, the Scions don’t measure up unfortunately, on top of that Vivi (emotionally) stays the fuck away from anyone post-ARR for their own protection (and his own if he ends up losing someone else), so it’s not quite the same experience for him.

One of the few redeeming qualities: Vivi keeps his word. This's gonna be relevant in like 2025 :'>

He baby, THAT’S his problem.

From pointing his spear at him to comfortably undressing and falling asleep in his vicinity. Ardbert's possibly the first man to be asked to stay and not get laid by Vivi :’>

While the Crystarium and its people seem nice, it’s still Vivi’s first day (one loooooong day since the beginning of chapter 2) in a brand new world, and Ardbert’s the only somewhat familiar person here. A ghost? Even better. The supernatural’s easier to deal with and is less likely to backstab you.

The sweet-voiced hooded guy says that it’s okay, that he’s safe here.... Yeah that on itself is a flag for our mr doubter. He’s grown reasonably paranoid since ARR, (almost) everything he does has a nice cynical-flavored logic to it.

While this’s a wolgraha comic, it’d be bland without support characters. Ardbert doesn’t play a massive role in this particular story, still you’ll keep seeing him here and there.

The next several episodes focus on the main two and Feo Ul, they’ll claw their way in even if they were left out x’D

I feel like talking about music. I'm gonna post 7 albums that describe me. Shit that shaped my worldview, reflects my aesthetics, and all that other stuff. Puttin it under read more so no one's dash gets clogged.

ZUU - DENZEL CURRY.

I'm a huge fan of southern Hip Hop. It's dense and eclectic and always so full of life and culture, everything from Andre 3000's thick Atlanta twang on Intl Players Anthem to DJ Paul's production on any given Three 6 Mafia project, it's just my shit. It all speaks to the state of living in the south and has made so much impact on the broader state of Hip Hop. especially in the modern day.

This album feels....so personal. Like coming back home and meeting up with an old friend and realizing you both still know that secret handshake you made up in middle school, or watching the emotional climax of a coming of age movie. I was as wild as I was loving in my youth, so tracks like Ricky and Speedboat and Shake 88 which reference everything from getting in fights in your high school Dickies and football hoodies to escaping hood life to spitting bars about neighborhood bad bitches. It just speaks to me and my experiences, It's always good to know there are other black dudes out there writing love letters and cautionary tales about the violent environments and close knit & loving cultures that surrounded them in their youths spent below the bible belt. I wish I'd had this album when I was 17.

2. VIVA LA COBRA - COBRA STARSHIP

I've been listening to Cobra Starship since I was about 15, and this album has never left my all time greats. It's so fucking fun, like an 18 year old stole his dad's credit card and drove up with his friends to hang in NYC with fake IDs. The bragging, slightly macho, slightly cynical, fun but not too stupid persona Gabe Saporta personifies on this album speaks to me so deeply and shaped me into the man I am today. He has the cynicism and self aware, sarcastic edge that only a former Punk making dance music could have.

3. THREE DAYS GRACE - THREE DAYS GRACE.

Around the age of 13 I was carrying a massive weight; some of it was dysphoria, some of it was internalized racism, some of it was just plain average shit that comes with the territory of being a child under capitalist patriarchy. I felt lost and misunderstood, until I found this album completely by accident. Tracks like Home and Drown spoke to my experiences with abuse and the intense bouts of willpower and self sufficiency that I knew I was capable of but didn't have the courage to act on. I'd put these songs on in my room and drift away, all the pressures my parents and friends and school had put on me just washing away. It was loud and raw and angry and fueled the newfound passion and teen rebellion that would make up the majority of my teens and shape my worldview in adulthood.

4. RUN THE JEWELS 2 - RUN THE JEWELS

The aggressive machismo on this album and the general fuckboy-isms of it all speak to me. Bars like "you want a whore in a white dress, I want a wife with a thong" and verses like "I got that dick in her mouth all day" are just standouts. Just laying everything out, speaking your mind, holding back no punches. The album also weaves in tracks about police brutality, class warfare, and the harsh reality of being pushed to do things you aren't proud of to make ends meet (Killer Mike has a bar about having to sell cocaine to a pregnant woman, and another about his wife being shot by police in front of his son.) I honestly can't see who wouldn't be changed after listening to this, or at least feel seen. It's a no skip banger from beginning to end, if you really wanna understand the essence of Jared, this is it.

5. SOUL GLO - DIASPORA PROBLEMS

Growing up a black kid who liked rock music was extremely taboo, back in the day. It earned you some level of alienation in both black and white dominated spaces. I'd always felt in between worlds; The gritty realism of Hip Hop spoke to me just as the maniacal, commanding essence of Rock and Metal did, and it seemed neither party wanted much to do with me.

Imagine my excitement in 2022 when I find out about Soul Glo, an all black Punk band from my town, who frequently scream their hearts out about everything from police brutality to fake friends to feeling ostracization and tokenization as a black Punk band, with absurd humor and such intense display of vulnerability unlike anything I'd seen before. Finally, I thought, a band that understands me. A band for guys like me.

6. MOBB DEEP - THE INFAMOUS

I got way too high on acid while solo tripping last year and spent a lot of that trip freaking the fuck out. Doom Metal was too much, looking in the mirror was too much, watching tv was too much, everything was just too fucking much.

Except for this record.

This record saved my life and got me into Rap music again. I've cried to it as many times as I've lifted and shaken my ass to it. Though I've never been involved in the street life-- especially not to the degree that Havoc and Prodigy lay claim to-- I grew up privy to it. My environment was incredibly violent. A lot of moralizing by mass media and white people of all backgrounds was lost on me; my father sold drugs to keep me fed and to put Christmas presents under the table, and he'd brought a couple of sex workers into the mix as well (all of whom were incredibly kind women), I felt if anything or anyone was failing, it was the justice system that put guys in these positions.

This album is fucking ruthless. The Jazz and Boom Bap elements add depth to it that I can't really say any other Jazz or Boom Bap rap album has done the same way since. It's also incredibly vulnerable at times. These guys have more nuance and versatility than any other rapper of their time, and it speaks to me as a black dude of working background and experience.

7. THE SLIM SHADY LP - EMINEM

Anyone who's followed me for more than a day knows how much I love Eminem. I think he's witty, charming, funny, and a really down to Earth dude, which probably sounds insane considering the amount of violence and bigotry he spews on the mic at any given time.

This album practically shaped my life and the way I internalize other people's opinions of me. As a kid, I grew up with a pretty abusive mom, and as such always felt the need to apologize or shrink in on myself just for existing. I hadn't really learned how to nurture the spirit until Eminem. The rage, the insanity, and the violence, was all a sheen for an album that truly told a story of how to power through life only trusting yourself and a few other insane, close friends, but most importantly to not let anything get you down and to simply not give a fuck (and to tell anyone who insists otherwise to get on their knees and suck it). The guy spoke real shit and had the credentials to prove it, he knew what he was about and made his dreams a reality, and that was awesome to me.

Bruce fights his kids

I’ve seen it discussed that Bruce hits his kids. Whether it’s abuse or bad writing? That Dick gets the brunt of it. But I haven’t seen any meta on the fact that Bruce will physically fight his kids.

It’s not just Bruce hitting Dick. Dick hits back. Sometimes he hits first. Sometimes they have a full on brawl. I've also seen/read Jason and Damian attacking and fighting Bruce. I’m not saying it’s ok as long as the kids can fight back. I’m trying to point out there’s more then Bruce lashing out on his kids. He’s taught them to lash out at him.

I noticed in a lot of the fights Dick or Jason start they are trying to get Bruce to listen to them. An argument or preexisting problem is at the core of a lot of these fights. The communication issues aren’t just not talking, it’s This. Bruce has created an environment where arguments can be won with force. It’s pretty fucked up.

Some of this comes from vignette work. The whole batfamily regular does fight people until they’re listened to or the villain is defeated. But they brought it into the house and Bruce didn’t stop it. I’m aware Dick and Jason are adults who can make their own decisions (and Jason makes terrible decisions) but this really feels like learned behavior. Dick hits back and hits Bruce because Bruce hits him. I can’t help wondering if Jason saw some of this growing up and that’s why he jumps right into attacking Bruce instead of yelling. It’s an interesting piece of this messed up family dynamic. I could this spreading to the other kids with Bruce and the two oldest fighting each other as arguments. That could go so badly. I would love to read someone unpack explore this in a fic.

I also see some of this is on the writers not the characters. It’s cool to see the Red Hood or Nightwing take on Batman. It’s can be emotional to read a fight between family. But it’s still fucked up and worth exploring.

Now I wouldn’t be reading batman comics if I only wanted to happy stories. I wanted to point out and explore this interesting and fucked part of the batfamily.

Draft Sans

Appearance

Draft is a skeleton with black bones which have a purple gradient on his arms and the tips of his fingers and toes, his remain the normal skeleton white while his eye and nose sockets are red. His left eye is in the shape of an X and is difficult for him to close or emote with, his right cheek has 3 purple streaks coming out from his eye socket.

He wears a blue hooded cloak, a black sleeveless shirt with a purple trim, purple pants, a blue belt, and white gloves and socks that expose his toes and all fingers but his thumb.

Weapons and Abilities

Draft has the ability to use a purple varient of strings similar to Error’s blue ones, although he prefers to use the two bottles of whiteout he keeps on his belt. The brushes from the bottles are used like blades and can erase whatever it touches, Draft can use them for precise cuts or mass erasure by spilling the whole bottle out.

Due to his more unstable code, Draft is also able to alter the environment around him depending on his emotion. At first, this is uncontrollable, but eventually he learns how to do it on a whim.

Relations

Sketch: Sketch is Draft’s brother, as they appeared at the same time. The two of them were well aware of each other’s existence, even before they actually met. Sketch and Draft are close, and they don’t fight unless it for fun or training, and they always be sure to not hurt each other.

Error: The first person Draft met after appearing in the anti-void. He doesn’t know much about him, Error makes it a point to try avoiding him.

On the Cruelty of Immortality

People always mention vampires as examples of creatures pushed into outsider or outcast status by their nature, but most of them are merely the products of their environment, upon closer scrutiny. As far as I'm concerned, and as a disabled man with Cerebral Palsy, there's a mostly-forgotten nineties' gem that offers a perfect translation of the concept.

Chances are you've heard of Henry Cavill's attempt at a Highlander reboot, more or less presented as "John Wick with Swords" - and directed by Chad Stahelski, no less. Chances are you also remember the original movies that starred Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery and Clancy Brown. What's less likely to attract attention is Aaron Paul's turn as a McLeod clan member, in the Franco-Canadian series of the same name. In it, Connor McLeod (Paul) crosses paths with Richie Ryan (Stan Kirsch), a thief who has the misfortune of dying while attempting to abscond with some of the Scottish immortal's possessions - only to reawaken as an immortal himself.

It's your classic Master-Padawan setup, with a modern hood more used to knives and handguns being forced to pick up swordfighting from a reluctant mentor, and learning of the vagaries and wonders of eternal life as he's shuttled between New York and Paris across several seasons. The catch is that Richie is quite young, in every sense of the term, and still tends to reason like someone who only has a few decades to live and who shouldn't take too many risks. He's also revealed to be very, very compassionate.

That eventually sets the pace for a cruel lesson. Richie happens upon the cognitivitely-challenged survivor of a train wreck (who, in retrospect, has all the traits of nonverbal autism depicted in a way that's sadly very nineties), and discovers that the poor guy is, in fact, an immortal like him - and a freshly-risen one, at that. He's had his first accidental Quickening (e.g. the absorption of another fallen immortal's life essence, fragmentary skillsets and memories) and is understandably confused.

Connor spends the episode trying to get Richie to realize that some people simply aren't born to shoulder immortality. It happens, he's seen it before, and he claims the most merciful thing that could be offered to Ryan's new companion is a swift and painless beheading. Eternal life, foisted on someone who couldn't even begin to comprehend it, is more than a curse - it's a literal death sentence, to be dealt by those who do know how to bring about a Quickening. That's without mentioning the risks related to detection, of being seen healing from things that should've killed an ordinary person.

Richie doesn't budge. He spends most of the episode's runtime convinced that there's a way to get an isolated, unsupervised and unstructured non-verbal immortal to pick up swordfighting, calisthenics, proper dieting, exit-spotting, tactical awareness - all of it without being a trained educator for autistic individuals. He's just a guy with a sword, himself a greenhorn at this, and is trying to impress the fact that fighting is now a necessity to someone who cannot understand him.

The episode ends with Richie narrowly saving the guy's life from a gaggle of opposing immortals seeing his friend as an easy meal ticket, and finally realizing that death really is the kindest option. Stan Kirsch does a fine job of showcasing Richie's mental anguish as the camera pans away from the disabled immortal, and he readies his killing blow.

We're also shown what happens when a Quickening is unwanted, as Richie didn't want to kill someone whom he saw himself as responsible for. The usual pyrotechnics display carries a charge of emotional anguish that's hard to miss - and we're left thinking that this was, in fact, the kindest outcome imaginable.

Pop Culture makes it a point to turn the able-bodied, the traditionally gorgeous, the resourceful or the wealthy into vampires. I'm of the mind that Fatality doesn't really pick favourites, and that some stories of life eternal would be far more poignant if a neverending existence were, in fact, structurally cruel.

uhh more kyo sonic au shit!! This time it’s team dark

i talked about shadow and omega in the previous Post but I wanted to talk about Things again;

- shadow is the creation of Doctor Gerald Robotnik and Black Lotus. His genome is 50% black arms, 46% mobian, and 4% human. The human part was from Maria to see if Gerald could find a way to cure her NIDS. The boots and wrist guards were given to him on the arc, while the jacket used to be Maria’s, and he has Warp Rings coiled around the boots and wrist guards.

- omega was the eggman’a first attempt to convert one of ivo’s e-series into a weapon… and he messed up the reprogramming, leaving omega permanently enraged. Rouge and Shadow helped him divert his anger away from those around him and into something else: his love for song, persisting even now. He has spiked bands and gold chains around his wrists, and a necklace, given to him by Rouge for extra Swag Energy. He attacks with sound waves, which makes it easy for him to hit a high-speed target.

- rouge herself is a former G.U.N. agent who ended up getting evicted. In part due to her kleptomaniac tendencies, but mostly due to her awareness of the system’s corruption. She tries to be a more Robin-hood like character… but she can’t help herself. She likes pretty things. She gave omega his bling and shares eyeliner with shadow

- both Maria and shadow escaped the ark fifty years ago, but Maria would end up dying to her disease due to the non-sterile environment speeding up the spread. Shadow has been roaming the world ever since, seeing both the good and bad in humanity. He’s well known within Westopolis’ struggling lower-class district, where he made frequent appearances in the fight against corruption and was generally just… nice. Nobody can stop him from making his own soup kitchen

- omega ostracized himself from his fellow E-Series, afraid of what they would think of him now. The only one who knows about his situation is Sigma, who helped remodel him into a more punk-like robot.

- rouge is Loaded. she helps pay for expenses and other Investments, like shadow’s soup kitchen and omega’s equipment. She has this big ass manor, but can’t live in it because all of them are Wanted By The Government

- they’re known to the public as the band “DARC”, Omega’s idea for his Rage Outlet. Their music contains anti-militarism (aka Anti-G.U.N.) themes, as well as identity and self-empowerment. You can guess who wrote each song depending on the overall mood; rouge’s are passionate and playful, shadow’s are somber, and omega’s are Rage Incarnate.

- shadow has his own Eye like Black Lotus, and that scoundrel Black Doom. Due to his altered genome, Shadow’s Eye (affectionately nicknamed ‘Jug’) has a much different appearance from Lotus’ and Doom’s eye; only three tentacles, and a primarily red body with three black-red ‘shadow stripes’. It’s housed inside shadow’s top quill (forming the stripe), and often opens when shadow focuses his chaos abilities

- omega and rouge based their ‘shoes’ on shadow’s air shoes. They’re boots designed to reduce friction by generating a thin layer of air between the soles and the ground… they were commonplace on the ark, but were commandeered by G.U.N. during their invasion and redesigned into dangerous, blast-jumping footwear. They were quickly shelved.

- though ultimately a force for good, their methods can be a bit unsavory. Shadow isn’t afraid to put G.U.N.’s “animals” down, for instance. Omega has no qualms with total sonic annihilation if it means taking down eggman with him. And rouge is rouge.

#kyo sonic au shit #sonic #rouge the bat #e 123 omega #shadow the hedgehog #textpost #kyo speaks #kyo’s art

feel free to do any or none but 4, 6, 18 for the ot[5] asks?

~ 🗡

(ღ˘v˘ღ) Thank you for the ask!

4. After a bad day, what would each member of your otp do to cheer the other up?

While I feel like this is highly situational, I'll try not to take it too seriously.

Claude sets up a stress free environment, if there's a task he can accomplish to make his partner's space more comfortable after a bad day, he's eager to please. Cooking, cleaning, conversation, silence, touch. He's trying.

Lorenz reminds his partners of their virtues and victories. He has seen how planning helps Claude and compliments help Hilda, and knows how hearing of the goodness of people in his poems and stories help himself; and so his cheer comes from words of comfort, whether that's deconstructing a problem or expressing his adoration.

Hilda forbids her partners from thinking about their sources of stress and pampers: a bath, a massage, etc. If the bad day is a result of work or more transient stress, it might be playful and bubbly, but if the bad day is a result of grief or more grievous, it might be quiet and soothing.

Avery cooks or otherwise procures food that his partners can eat a lot of, so not necessarily their favourite foods, but a rich dish that's easy to indulge in and hard to object to. He believes stress is more manageable on a full stomach.

Fae secures seclusion for their partners, whether that includes their own company or not. If their company is welcome, then the seclusion could be used to cry, to nap, to talk, to fuck, etc. They strive to offer their partners an escape from often ever-present expectations.

6. If your otp went on a holiday, what would they pack? What would they definitely forget? How would one react to the other forgetting that thing?

A friend was very excited for me that Fae, Lorenz, Hilda and Claude were all "beach people" because of FEH alts, so I'll say that they definitely pack swimming attire.

Claude can't be separated from at least four books at any given time. Hilda has a bag of crafting tools: needles and pliers and beads and wire. Lorenz is the one to pack emergency supplies: a first aid kit, maps, materials to build a fire, breath mints, hair ties, etc. Avery brings his life in a bag the size of his forearm, including cleaning supplies for his piercings and in addition to a list of events they could partake in near their destination. Fae packs loose clothing, whether dresses or hooded sweaters, cozy outfits that their profession or station might not otherwise allow.

Depending on how long they're on holiday and their destination, I'll say that they'd forget raincoats. In a modern setting, Avery finds somewhere that sells those plastic ponchos and Lorenz purchases extras to add to his half-embarrassing bag of emergency things. In a less-modern setting, Fae finds them shelter from the storm. In either case, Hilda insists on investing in more stylish coats sometime after they've dried.

18. What are the small gestures with which your otp says ‘I love you’? Are those daily rituals? Is the other aware of the intention behind those gestures?

Lorenz writes little notes. Fae shares fresh flowers. Claude reaches out to hold a hand. Hilda wears an accessory to match at least one partner. Avery offers the last bite of whatever he's eating (omg, Lorenz would hate this initially sdfgsdfgsdf).

I tried to pick gestures that were small enough that they could be daily. I think that it might take some time for them all to recognize the intention behind the gestures but that they ultimately would.

Full Name: ..... Ira Cross (Birth surname was Golden, you don't need to know my given name at birth).

Background on Name: I chose the name Ira as it was the male name my parents had chosen prior to my birth. The surname Cross was my mother's maiden name.

Nickname(s): Sinema Verite

Nickname Background: I needed a new title once I reached Hell, to avoid unwanted connections from my previous life. So I chose an amusing play on words relating to my former career.

Birth date: January 6, 1899 (Died March 12, 1938)

Birth place: New York City, New York, USA

Age: 125 (Died at 39)

Visual Age: Early-mid 30s

Blood type: Unknown.

Religious Values: Raised in a loosely Christian environment, agnostic in life. But religion is for the living; I have my answer about the afterlife.

--- Gender: Male (assigned and raised as female)

Height: 5'8

Weight: Around 160lbs, not that that's anyone's business.

Body type: Stocky; strong, though chubby.

Why?: Because it is proper, and what I prefer to wear.

Least Favored Clothing Style: Anything overly casual, as nearly all of today's fashion seems to trend towards.

Why?: Because it is disrespectful to others. Such dress shows a lack of concern about one's presentation.

Important/Usual Accessories: I don't believe there is anything particular? Though I wear a wristwatch, if that would be relevant.

Tattoos: Absolutely none.

Story Behind Tattoo: Not applicable.

Piercing(s): None

Visual Health Level: Healthy. My dearest certainly has kept me well-fed; his culinary sills are exquisite.

Spending Habits: I'm certainly not careless or extravagant, but I have no concern about money.

---

Strengths: I have claws and very sharp teeth. But, amusement aside, I do prefer to avoid direct combat. If necessary, I do have some powers that prevent more physical altercations.

Weaknesses: I'm quite sensitive to noise, scents, and sudden visuals. My more dramatic powers also partially stem from my partner's, so if we are both utilizing them it reduces my power significantly.

Weapons: I can conjure film reel, which can be used to bind or strike.

Habits: I don't believe I have any particular fighting habits.

Familiars/Summons/Pets: I do have a pet, Lapin. Though I'm not quite certain how to describe him. I suppose he is somewhat feline, and around the size of a smaller medium dog.

Fighting Style: I did participate in some casual boxing during my life. I would say that when I am forced to fight, my style draws from that.

Old Injuries: None that affect my abilities.

Movement Issues: I'm certainly no athlete, so I suppose compared to some I am a bit stiff and restricted.

Speed: I am quite fast when necessary, but not so much that would be particularly noteworthy in comparison to many others.

Agility: Well I may not be any sort of acrobat, but I'm certainly not tripping over my own feet. As long as I'm firmly standing I'm very agile in my movements.

Strength: Nothing to write home about, though I am a bit stronger than people tend to assume from my stature.

Stamina: I can hold my own, but physical combat is not my forte. I will tire with extended physical exertion.

Defensive Ability: I come back from taking a strike, but I can't ignore or push through major hits. It will knock my back before I regain my composure.

Magical Ability: I am able to conjure and utilize film reel, teleport using shadowshifting, and open minor portals. Much of my own power draws from my partner's owned souls, so it is rather dependent on variables such as the number of souls and whether he is also drawing on them.

Planning/Strategic Ability: I would consider myself a very thorough strategic person. I like to have even small things planned out beforhand.

Memory: My memory is excellent for most important topics, but I am also prone to forgetting small and mundane things.

Luck: I'm not cursed, but I wouldn't say that I'm any more lucky than any other average individual.

Reaction Speed: I am proud of my fast reactions. I have quick reflexes, and am quite skilled at fast responses to my environment.

Learning Curve: I seem to be quite hard-wired for pattern recognition, so I tend to learn quite fast.

--- Alignment: I'd say this depends on your perspective. Those who I don't care for would consider me Lawful Evil, while those close to me would see me more as Chaotic Neutral.

Occupation: I do what I want. I've had many different roles since my death, currently I am the Advertising Manager at Hazbin Hotel. (In life I was an actor, still fairly early in my career but with great opportunity.)

Love Interest(s): No thank you. I am married, but Alastor and I chose to commit to our partnership based on shared interests and values, not volatile feeling. Besides, neither he nor I are the romantic type.

Likes: Films from my life's era, dancing, performing

Dislikes: Most modern music, television, cowards, entitled people

Fears: Abandonment, weakness, dependence

Wishes: Success, respect

Personality: I am polite and sociable, but very closed-off to all but my closest relationships. I always endeavor to make an excellent impression, avoiding making enemies without due cause. However, I truly trust only a small handful of individuals. I value manners and propriety very highly.

Favorite Color and Why: Green simply because it's a nice color, and red because it's always been Al's best color.

Favorite Music and Why: Jazz; it can be soothing, as well as invigorating.

Food: ..... Do you really want to know? I rather doubt that you do. I'll just say Al's jambalaya.

Literature: Mystery novels are my favorite.

Expressions: I'm not certain if I have any that I use noticeably more.

Favored Expletives: I certainly use common phrases from my living time often (e.g. horsefeathers), but I have no qualms about using any harsher expletives.

Manner of Transportation: I prefer to walk. I didn't mind cars, but I'm not fond of these modern ones.

Hobbies: Film analysis, reading, and some others you'd probably prefer I don't add.

Favorite Childhood Memory: My older brother returning home after Boy Scouts meetings and teaching me the things that he'd learned there.

---

Song: Perhaps "No Strings Attached" by Swingrowers.

Taste: ... Is this really a question you want me to answer? I taste exquisite, thank you.

Smell: I have a very specific cologne that I've used for decades now. It is primarily cedar and musk, with notes of pine and mint.

Representation in Psychic Endeavors: I don't believe I have any particular gift of this sort.

Myers-Briggs Personality Type: ISTJ-A

Enneagram Type and Wing: Type 1, Wing 9

Character Flaws: Violent, untrusting, standoffish, socially selective

Mannerisms: Very performative, large and dramatic gestures, many small fidgets and quirks

Darkest Secret and Who Knows About it: Now I don't believe you all have any right to know that. Al is the only one who does.

Personal Triggers: I find firearms extremely unsettling, especially pistols.

---

Extra Notes: While I am verbal, others cannot typically hear me without assistance. My dear's staff can receive and project my voice easily, and if needed I can put my voice through any nearby radio receiver/speaker, though that takes a bit of effort.

Family Members, and relationship with each: Harvey Golden (Father), Loretta Cross Golden (Mother), Lewis Golden (Brother), Viola Golden Snider (Sister), Ervin Golden (Brother)

The template that I filled out for this is from @rpedia

Get to know the world of pup and handler play

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/get-to-know-the-world-of-pup-and-handler-play/

Get to know the world of pup and handler play

Pup and handler play is quite visible on the LGBTQIA+ scene but most aren’t aware of what it’s all about. We chatted to pup Luca and handler Zeo to understand more about the community.

If you’ve been out on the scene or at a pride event in recent years, you may have seen attendees wearing pup hoods.

For anyone not involved in their community, you may be intrigued by what it is or have some of your own preconceptions.

I sat down with Zeo (handler) and Luca (pup) from Queensland Pups & Handlers Inc to understand more about it.

When I ask them to describe what it is, it’s clear there’s no one defining answer.

“It’s really specific to the person, everyone experiences it in different ways. You get pups who put their hoods on and it’s 100% sex and then you get the other end, which I’m close to, which is a different headspace. So you kind of get to zone out and be someone else and switch off and just be silly,” Luca tells me.

For Zeo, who is a handler, it started around five years ago from the more sexual side but has evolved to be more about the bond he has with his partner pup and nurturing others.

“I definitely came from the more sexual side, then I started getting exposed to the more dynamic side of things, caring, nurturing side of thing,” he says

“With a few of my pups, it’s more me just taking care of them, making sure they aren’t stressing out over the daily concerns and helping them do what I can to support them.”

Packs

Luca, who has been in the pup scene for three years, explains that he doesn’t have a handler but belongs to a group with a distinct pecking order.

“We’ve got a pack where you’ve got an alpha who’s similar to a handler, but they’re a pup themselves,” he says.

“The alpha is more the caregiver, the betas are your more playful, bratty and cheeky and then your omegas, they’re more like they’re there to serve. The others that do whatever they can to provide to the group.”

Visibility

The pair tell me that myths of it being purely sexual have started to become less as the community has become more visible.

“People aren’t hiding it as much as they used to,” Luca says.

This isn’t just happening out on the scene, social media has had a positive impact allowing people to feel more comfortable showing this side of themselves.

“People are creating profiles to do with their persona, or their handler persona, and putting themselves out there a lot more, depending on which site you use,” Zeo explains

Title holders

The pair aren’t just pup and handlers in their own world, they are part of the committee of Queensland Pup and Handlers Inc. (Q-PAH).

They are also title holders with Zeo the Queensland Handler 2023 and Luca Queensland Pup 2023.

Luca also competed in the national contest and took out the title, becoming Australian Puppy 2023 as well.

However, the win had some unexpected consequences. After being tagged on Facebook with his victory, his parents saw the pics and had some questions to ask.

“My dad rang me and asked ‘So, what was this competition?’” Luca tells me.

“I was like ‘It’s a puppy thing’ and I explained that you basically just put on the pup hood and it’s a headspace to relax and he was like ‘yeah ok’ and accepting.”

Q-PAH

A post shared by Luca (@puplucaqld)

Through our chat, the pair have quick side conversations about committee meetings and events coming up because like any community it takes a lot to organise.

The Q-PAH group has over 50 members and holds many events including the aptly named dinner and walkies. It’s a social event but also a chance to be visible as a group in a safe environment.

While MOSH at The Sportsman Hotel is a place to relax on foam mats, a ball pit and toys. It’s also open to everyone with many drag queens also joining in.

And even though pup and handler play is associated with gay men, the pair tell me it’s much more mixed.

“There’s so many different types of people. There’s trans, non-binary and straight,” Zeo says.

Before Luca proudly adds: “We’re the most diverse kink club in Brisbane”

INTERNAL : 》

ERROR: corrupted information. repair unit immediately.

SUBJECT APPEARANCE DETAILS : 》

Revelation is best identified by his uniform. It is the standard solar material as all militant units of JRBL, made in night-camo pattern. It is a hooded design. Subject wears a protective mask over the full face and head. Unlikely to remove without emergency. However ; Revelation is a third generation NARIA android prototype, so is certified for anthro-impersonation to the fourth degree. The synth-skin in pristine condition will be light olive, be aware of discolouration or damage to the surface material as may be a major sign of internal hardware needing repaired.

PERSONALITY PROTOCOL

Revelation is built with a high-grade logic-and-command protocol (LACP) which includes permissions to harm humans and/or their environments when necessary or commanded to, and independent decision-making based on the combination of outside stimuli and commands. Intents of harm or decisions made outside of LACP should be acknowledged as emergency malfunction, and the unit shut down immediately. For safety measures, repairs should not be applied until the unit is disassembled. This is a non-social unit programmed to observe and correct abnormalities. Default linguistic memory can hold up to 62 languages additional to 3 base languages (chosen by model owner during production; additional languages/codes/etc. must be installed later). Morality and emotional sensors are controlled by the LACP’s coding. Bias toward any opinions, beliefs, expression, or social activity, should be considered a severe emergency, and the unit deactivated for immediate protocol reset.

PURPOSE

Travel to different worlds and/or realities, collect samples, gather information on, adapt to/against, and neutralize forces defined as hostile by LACP. ERROR: corrupted information. repair unit immediately. ERROR: corrupted information. repair unit immediately.

STRENGTHS

TELEKINESIS : unit has capabilities such as triggering and maintaining radius of energy, light manipulation/refraction/absorption. varied energy usage.

KINETIC ABSORPTION : resistant to physical manipulation from outside forces up to maximum 9% greater his mass. impact from such forces will be redistributed in a radius shockwave. activates automatically upon detecting impact 2/3 or more of its maximum resistance, or can be activated manually. energy guzzler.

SPEED : capable of average running speeds of ~20 miles per hour, and a sprinting speed of ~30. sprinting drains energy faster, and produces more sound and waste chemical build-up.

INSTALLATIONS : lethal toxins produced in mouth (emergency defence), cameras and flash/strobes in eyes.

WEAKNESSES

SUBMERSION : revelation cannot swim. while walking across the bottom of a body of water is possible, the pressure change affects the accuracy of his defence, sensory, and motion systems. so he must rely on meta-kinetic functions in emergency. can withstand depths of ~175m safely. depths of 200 - 600m may cause malfunction and/or damage. full destruction estimated at ~1500m.

TELEPATHY : it is possible to enter unit AI. as psionic defenses are an experimental practice in artificial units, the unit will go into into standby mode if its consciousness engages with the intruder’s.

Projecting Impact Tools at the Highest Level: How Objectively Assessing Raw Athleticism Provides a Peak into the Future and Can Help Improve Accuracy in Player Procurement

I’ve long been a proponent of raw athleticism in baseball and in the past year or so, I’ve come to the realization that it’s much bigger than that – it’s all sports. For the sake of this blog, I’ll do my best to stick to baseball.

Athletes with greater speed and power traits simply have higher ceilings. There are so many other factors to the success of the athlete and this starts with: do they have enough ability to play their sport?

What do I mean by ability?

For a pitcher: it is feel to pitch, feel to spin, ability to throw strikes, movement profiles, etc.

For a position player: it is largely, will they hit enough? Can they defend enough at a high-level?

These are all questions that are answered every year by a group of professionals that are very good at their jobs: scouts. The trickiest part of their job is putting an objective grade on a crucial part of the profile: athleticism.

It is not easy to define.

Ask 10 different people the definition of athleticism and you’ll get 10 different answers. Some will go down the road of playing multiple sports and most will get muddy before they shoot it straight. Don’t get me wrong, I think playing multiple sports as a kid has tremendous value, but it’s also hard to quantify the impact. When it’s hard to quantify, it’s hard to apply in decision-making. Not that it doesn’t have a role in decision-making, but that’s not for this blog.

For me, there are certain athletic qualities that are clear-cut and objective that play a critical role in the future of what an athlete can be (speed and power). It’s what I call raw athleticism and it effectively translates to what’s under the hood. Some athletes are spectacular at their sport and are running a V6 and some athletes are average at their sport and are running a Hemi. The athlete with the Hemi has much more room for error as the game gets faster.

For more on the balance between raw athleticism and sport-specific skill, check out this piece I put together on Spencer Jones ahead of the 2022 MLB Draft and read the first section: “A Perspective on Athleticism”

Quantify what’s under the hood and peak into the future potential of an athlete.

Using the Loden Score

With Loden Sports, we developed the Loden Score to be an unbiased, objective way to quantify raw athleticism.

It’s proven.

Loden Scores are correlated to the physical half of a players profile: speed, power, and arm strength. Baseball has 5 tools and the potential for 60% of them can be validated by or answered using a Loden Score.

It’s easy.

The higher the Loden Score the more you can expect out of the athlete in terms of speed, raw power, and throwing velocity – qualities that increase in importance at higher levels of baseball.

Athletes with higher Loden Scores have the ability to generate speed, power, and velocity with much less effort. Think about the kid that’s good at every sport without breaking a sweat. We all grew up with recess and gym class in elementary school, so you know exactly what I mean.

It alleviates concerns with hard evidence.

The Loden Score throws body-type biases out the window. It answers why Corbin Carroll can impact the baseball the way he does at his size. It answers why Spencer Jones is different from other position player prospects with extra-large frames. It doesn’t discriminate against baby fat and it certainly doesn’t reward bonus points for striations.

The Loden Score separates quantifiable athletic qualities from subjective athletic qualities. You can like that an athlete plays three sports, that they move well, that they have great body awareness, and it doesn’t have to fall in the same bucket in the evaluation profile of what’s under the hood.

A human being can be a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T and not know how to keep it on the road.

Personal opinion: from an evaluation standpoint, give me the Charger that doesn’t know how to stay on the road over the Prius that you can drive with your knees.

Pause.

I understand that development environments and athlete motivations play a crucial role in ever getting that Charger to stay between the lines. Pull the right strings and that Charger will make adjustments and soar to heights that the Prius could never dream of.

Unpause.

A Sliding Scale

It is important to consider frame size when evaluating raw athleticism. When it comes to baseball, the physical tools are largely affected by what’s under the hood, but frame size also plays a role. For this reason, I’ve put together a bit of a sliding scale cheat-sheet of where to look for impact tools:

Use the following for frame size reference:

Small = ~5-10, 175 lbs.

Average = ~6-0, 190 lbs.

Large = ~6-3, 220 lbs.

Extra Large = ~6-5, 250 lbs.

Conveniently, the Loden Score System is on a 0-12 scale that perfectly parallels a 20-80 scale. So, to translate: 0 = 20, 1 = 25, 2 = 30 … 11 = 75, 12 = 80.

To oversimplify the above / provide an example: if you’re looking at a 5-11, 180 lb. player and they don’t look to be getting any bigger, don’t expect impact physical tools unless they’re at least a 65 raw athlete.

A lot of raw athleticism is genetic, but at the same time, a lot of the physical qualities to build a robust engine (raw athleticism) can be trained as the athlete physically matures. To paraphrase the AFC Ajax Youth Development Model:

You can take a Fiat and turn it into an Audi, you can take an Audi and turn it into a Ferrari, but you can’t take a Fiat and turn it into a Ferrari.

And you certainly can’t make any transformation at all if you aren’t dedicating time away from competing in your sport as you physically mature.

From what I’ve observed, the current amateur sports environment places a disproportionate amount of emphasis on competing. So, most kids are relying solely on their genetic lottery for what kind of motor they’re running under the hood. The few that swim against the current – by the direction of parents or coaches who aren’t afraid to be different – and make training a priority during their developmental window, have a chance to enhance their motor in a meaningful way.

DM Me.

Anyone who is interested in hearing more or having a discussion on the topic, don’t hesitate to reach out on Twitter.

The above trends will strongly support the long-term economic growth in Asia

S.5 billion, China needs to increase investment in railway and highway construction..Investment rating company recently some southern European countries have lowered the credit rating, but is very optimistic about the prospects for the China Range hood fan motor for sale development of Asian countries, raised in India, Indonesia, Korea and the Philippines a rating (although the rating has been lowered to Thailand)., Japan, 56 reduction, the United Kingdom to reduce 47. Currently, more than one-third of multinational companies headquartered in Asia.The same can not be ignored is the rising middle class, urbanization, and this led to the growth in demand for goods and services, these factors are the economic future of Asia's strong support to maintain healthy growth. In addition, China's per capita installed generating capacity, compared with other Asian emerging countries remains low, exports to China of the surrounding area will benefit from this.

The myth of economic growth in Asia, especially China and India, the rapid development in recent years has been well known. The World Bank estimates, the global middle class will number 430 million in 2000 rose to 1. Therefore, we believe that choosing the right stock for investors in Asia has brought huge returns. In the current volatile market environment, Asia's economic fundamentals remain strong in other regions of the world. In addition, with the increased Internet penetration, the virtual social and online games to increase the number of users expected the Internet would be another potential investment opportunities - In 2009, the number of Internet users in China increased by 29%, while high economic growth stimulated by the expected the growth rate in 2010 will be higher. "Forbes" magazine's recent survey, the world's largest 2,000 companies, 689 based in Asia; if excluding Japan, the figure has almost doubled over the past five years. dollars, according to local price adjustment.

The pursuit of a higher quality of life made a change in consumer behavior, such as health awareness, increased demand for luxury goods and household goods. These investments not only increase the present demand of production, the future will also increase employment opportunities, improve family income and, ultimately, lead consumption. Instead, the survey shows that the global financial crisis and the impact of sustained economic growth in Asia, the number of headquarters of multinational corporations in developed countries decreased over the past five years, 175 of which reduce the U. Therefore, we can foresee the wealth of the middle class in Asia will increase substantially, the income gap will narrow. In order to maintain the current rate of expansion, new infrastructure in Asia is expected to be high-speed development. Not only are these rating companies, multinational corporations are also optimistic about Asia's growth potential. However, other countries in Asia, there are not as familiar with the development trend of investors and investment opportunities. China, for example, because the next 20 years, the domestic inter-city migration is expected to reach 3.

The above trends will strongly support the long-term economic growth in Asia, and the stocks of certain industries and played a special role in promoting. In Asia, including private education, health care, Internet, consumer services, including banking industry is in its early stages, and rapid development at an alarming rate.

❝IN HIS CARE❞

⭑—pairings: Touya “Dabi” Todoroki x therapist!fem reader

⭑—cw: language, public-ish sex, fingering, Dabi being a tease, use of an oc

⭑—a/n: this is a piece from an archived fic of mine. hope you enjoy!

“Dabi, can you please catch up, we can’t be late!”

He made it a point to walk a couple of feet behind you, his reasons being that he wished to observe you from afar.

“Hey, Miss…you have a really nice ass, if that isn’t too vulgar of me to admit,” he crooned, a hand resting along the curve of your lower back. You shook your head, “Stop acting like a pervert and get it together. Tonight should mean more to you than it does to me,” you griped, internally rolling your eyes.

“Yeah, it’s our date night!” He beamed, imparting a sly glance your way. You could only halt your paced steps, facing towards Dabi with a subtle grimace. Without any words, you hand him the sleek black clutch in your hand, your lithe fingers finding a way to his tie.

“Touya...we’re meeting with two executives from the parole department. If we can supply them with enough reasons to officially end your house arrest, you’ll be free without even a trial,” you began, the pads of your digits skimming along the smooth red silk. You gently crushed the tie in your palm, tugging Dabi’s flustered visage to your own.

“Don’t fuck this up, got it?”

He nodded, leaving a quick peck on your glossed lips before drawing himself back. “See, you do want this more than me, no need to lie about it, Y/N,” he teased, returning to his previous languid stroll. You kept your gaze pinned on the stone walkway beneath you, a thin smirk curling onto your lips.

All you knew was that the meeting held the future of the budding romance between you and Dabi, something you wouldn’t allow to fail without a decent fight.

That same thought followed you into the restaurant, the warm and cozy environment enveloping you. The smooth melding of spices wafted past your nose, yielding for the softest grin to grow across your lips. You and Dabi found yourselves wandering towards the farthest booth, being greeted by a peaceful soul.

“Why hello there, Y/N and...Dabi,” a voice welcomed you both. You scanned the figure cautiously, an older woman seemed to be who held the key of fate before you and Dabi.

She looked to be in her sixties, faint wrinkles lining her forehead and hooded hazel eyes. The gray streaks of her age adorned the thick locks of black hair, ending a bit beyond her shoulders.

You held your hand out, giving the woman a sweet smile, “You must be Mrs. Shun..from the call earlier.” She hummed in agreement, affirming your keen guess.

Dabi pulled his hand from the pocket of his black slacks, following the example you had set. “Hello Ms. Shun, I appreciate you taking the time to meet with Y/N and me.” His gentle tones earned a gratifying hum from you. Dabi met your amiable gaze, his mind aware of how proud you were of him, even if it was just the bare minimum.

“Why, of course. Please sit,” Mrs. Shun pressed, her hand waving you both to join her. You slid into the booth first, the cold leather nipping at the underside of your thigh. You cursed yourself for wearing such a short dress, the simple red accommodating your skin beautifully.

Dabi planted himself beside you, his hand searching for yours immediately. You hadn’t noticed it upon first glance but Dabi was suddenly on edge, her usual relaxed physique was tense, his shoulders raised high. You laced your fingers around his, the comforting hold soothing him already.

“Don’t you worry, we got this!” you purred into his ear, your thumb grazing along the back of his hand. Dabi released a boastful scoff, “I’m not the one who’s nervous, Doll. I know I’ll get out of this, especially with your help.”

You gave Dabi one final flash of your smile before turning your attention to Mrs. Shun, who was already prepared to begin the meeting.

“So, we’ll begin with the contents of Dabi’s arrest, the punishment, and how the data from the rehabilitation has been. With that, I’ll make the final decision right here, sounds good?” Mrs. Shun’s reached for the manila folder, peeling open the thin layer. You and Dabi sat there with attentive ears, only to grow bored after a few lines in.

Dabi gradually slid free of your hold, his hand finding much more comfort atop your thigh, his fingers tapping against the plush skin rhythmically. Your fingers latched around his forearm, mindlessly toying with the button as Mrs. Shun reviewed the case of Dabi’s house arrest.

You sensed a wash of heat wash over your body, an unfamiliar warm fluttering between your legs. The warmth radiating from his hand left you anxious, your legs crossing over each other.

“You seem to be tense all of sudden,” Dabi muttered, your ears piquing at his words. You nodded your head subtly, keeping your composure as still as you could.

“Behave yourself, not in public,” you griped, the words bringing you nothing unpleasant pangs of regret. “I’m not the one who got all horny from a simple touch. Speak for yourself,” Dabi sneered behind his hand, shielding his mouth from Mrs. Shun.

You took a deep breath, bringing your mouth to Dabi’s ear, acting as if you wanted to tell him of such importance.

“So then you should make yourself useful and fix that for me, right? It’s the least you can do as payment for all the shit you’ve put me through.”

A smug grin stretched across Dabi’s lips, the pads of his fingers digging into your thigh. You pried your legs apart, leaving enough room for Dabi’s hand to slip between.

He yanked the thin obstructing lace from you to the side, the greed of pleasing his pretty therapist was instantly met with the sound of Mrs. Shun’s untimely interruption.

“Y’know, at first, I wasn’t sure if the arrangement was going to work seeing as how young you both are,” Mrs. Shun began, her hands folded atop the waxy tabletop.

Dabi offered the woman a false smile, his tone following suit. “I can see your reasons. But trust me, Y/N takes her work with such grace and diligence, nothing could ever divert her from the task at hand.”

As the words left his lips, Dabi ran a finger between the glistening folds of your cunt, the digit being coated with your slick. He sent you a side glance, lust riddled within his azure hues.

With the calloused pads of his index and middle fingers, Dabi laid slow circles against your clit, the glistening pearl rolling between his digits. Your nails clawed at his forearm, a hiss leaking from his pursed lips.

“You’ve gone and made a mess of yourself, such a shame,” he ridiculed silently, his words edging you on. Dabi blew you a faux kiss, the filth of apathy embedding with the tormenting display.

You pinched your bottom lip between your teeth, the pain not being nearly enough to ground you. Simultaneously, Mrs. Shun shifted her gaze to you, waiting to hear your own thoughts on the matter.

“I-I uh...agree. My only intention for Dabi is to ensure his…” you trailed off as Dabi slowly sank his digit into your dribbling slit, your walls clenching around him. Your head immediately dropped, your eyes squeezing shut.

The lewd squelching of Dabi’s fingers curling along your sweet spot threw you into turmoil, the electric sensation coursing through your nerves. He maintained a slow pace, adding another finger to stretch. The delicious burn was soon engulfed by the overwhelming relief Dabi provided, a shrewd whimper seeping from your throat.

Dabi could only watch as you fell apart beside him, a sense of pride flooding his mind. He found great solace in his ability to please you, considering it was just a mere touch, He practically ached at the thought of how you would respond to everything else he had to offer.

“Is she alright!?” Mrs. Shun yelped, her eyes frantically searching for the cause of your pain. Dabi cleared his throat, deciding to assist you during your time of need.

“What Y/N seems to be stuttering over is this...she deems me fully capable to continue living among the masses with her supervision.

Yet, I just have one request, if I may,” Dabi interjected, Mrs. Shun tilted her head in curiosity. You had no clue as to what Dabi had prepared to say, your eyes fighting the urge to roll back into your head.

“I want Y/N to be with me at all times. Laugh if you must but I feel so at ease with her, Y/N’s words truly help me keep a cool mind,” he demanded boldly. Mrs. Shun could only nod, her brows knitting for a solution.

“That could be arranged, whatever will bring you the most support, Dabi,” she concurred, closing the folder at last. A brief moment of silence shrouded the booth, your body growing heavy with the incoming high.

Your sight became patchy, white stars clouding your vision. Dabi continued to drag his digits along your viscid walls, urging your body closer to its alleviation. Just like clockwork, the moment Mrs. Shun broke the silence, your body tightened itself, your core holding Dabi’s mischievous fingers in place.

You gushed around, earning a wink from him as a sign of approval. You returned a sheepish grin, the dopamine circulating around your body. Once you finally gained some sense of self, you peered over to Mrs. Shun, who was still unaware of what had occurred only a few feet from her position.

“Well then, with that, I hereby announce that Dabi is no longer under house arrest. I hope you continue to progress under the watch of Y/N,” Mrs. Shun grinned, her hands clasping together. Dabi pulled his fingers from your spasming walls, the thick essence of your release coating the digits.

His eyes marvel at the sight, his mouth desperate for selfishly indulging his mouth with your slick. You dropped your forehead against his shoulder, taking shuddering breaths to desperately calm your lungs.

He allowed for the flavor to dance across his palate, his eyes coming to fluttering shut. He gazed over to you, a cheesy grin sprawled along his face.

“Why I can’t think of a sweeter reward than this, can you, Y/N?”

i’m a little nervous to share but here we go! this my boi Kalluno! he appears in a Dadster multiverse fic I’m writing. he’s a baby Blaster!Sans who was rescued from his AU and subsequent creator by a wandering outcode Gaster, who had just escaped from his own unfortunate circumstances.

You can read more about him below!

About

Name: Kalluno “Wolf” Pronouns: They/them/he/him In-universe coded as 15% Swap!Sans, 55% Blaster and 30%Classic!Sans and 150% GOOD BOI Age: child Personality: Shy but not timid. Optimistic. Driven by curiosity. He just wants everyone around him to be happy! Straightforward thinker. Quiet and contemplative. Relies too heavily on his ability to sense intent from others and may misread their true feelings. Paradoxically oblivious to social cues (blaster instincts and natural skele instincts contradicting each other) and perceptive to what the people around him need in the moment. Trusting, despite his past as an experiment. He is somewhat aware that he was originally created to be a weapon, but his guardian has seen to it that his origins have no influence on his current life and his memory of that time is fuzzy. Kalluno knows he is loved!

Other notes:

Will chew on your shoes

As he grows older, he can shift between Blaster and Skele form at will

Blaster abilities include: hiccupping molten laser fire. the ability to split his bottom jaw. he can perceive the void/the space between AUs but he cannot interact with it on his own.

he doesn’t know how to use shortcuts!

His blaster form is as small as a large house cat, and grows proportional to his skele-form. until young adult-hood. at which point his blaster body will continue to grow until it reaches an equilibrium. (he will have the ability to look an African elephant in the eye that point. while crouching)

his tail is whip like, and sometimes seems to have a mind of its own. other blasters from his “litter” use their tails like xenomorphs and go stab-happy when threatened. Kalluno would never!

suffers from nightmares

loves learning and science but is wary of sterile-lab like environments

will have a full on panic attack if forced onto an examination table

claustrophobic
