ive been trying to figure out how i was so productive and motivated to write and draw horny shit when i was previously in fandom, like whats holding me back there yknow, and I think its just that im worried too much about canon or fandom opinion instead of just picking up my favourite characters and making them scissor like barbie dolls (except instead of scissoring its like niche kinks and scenes i want to explore)

Loved the Sukuna post. Now... Hear me out...
Bottom Sukuna..
male reader..
some nsfw and sfw hcs
Bottom!Sukuna x Male reader
A/N : ANON I LOVE YOUR BRAIN (the sfw is just more domestic headcanons, I love making big scary mean men domesticated 😁😁😏😏)
A/N : I might have been listening to flesh by Simon Curtis while cooking up the nsfw part
WARNINGS : OOC!Sukuna / Power bottom!Sukuna / Top!reader / a lot of kinky shit / mentions slapping / choking / knife knife / blood play
This man will not show an ounce of submission in public
However remember when I said he loves for you to trace the marks on him. When he is super relaxed a slight pur can be heard. (I HEAD CANON THAT HE PURRS JUST HEAR ME OUT PLEASE. I BEGGING YOU)
However it's not loud and can only be heard when he speaks but you can feel it. Low rumbles in his chest
If you have any hobbies he would act so uninterested but he is full of shit
He would slyly ask about them and take note of them
Only trusts uraume alone with you
Finds everything you watch fucking stupid and boring. He would literally groan anytime you put something on. Would he sit down and watch with you…….yes but will he complain for a bit…..of course he would
Like I said previously he is a pretty good cook but if you are even better than him he would just watch you cook. There is something captivating about you being focused and concentrated. (He will probably get in the mood for some fun 😏)
NSFW
For him to even consider you topping him would take alot of convincing. "You topping me? Do you view me as some type of weakling" He would laugh loudly in your face
Before you get to chance to top him you have to prove to him that you can take him. That you can handle him.
So that means an all night session with him. He will ruin you all night and if you pass then you will get the glorious victory.
Let's just say he was shocked when you succeeded. He tried everything to make you tap out but nothing seem to work.
POWER!BOTTOM
He wants you to FUCK him.
He wants you to treat him like he does you, well at least try to
"Don't go gently with me now. I'm not weak , I can fucking take it"
When you finally gripped his hips and started to pound into him he would let out a manic laugh. It startled you a little bit but you carried on
"There you go fuck me like a strong man"
When he tops you he mostly groans but when you fuck him for the first time he literally growls and grits his teeth
He can not let your hear how good you are making him feel
But you will feel it
Ooooooh lord God help you because he will leave SCRATCHES on your back, anywhere
He will dig his nails into any part of your skin so please have antibiotic ointment on hand. Love watching the blood trickle from were his nails have been. Will lick your blood
DO NOT TEASE HIM OR TIE HIM UP because if you do that just means hell when he tops you again
When I say treat him like he does you, slap him, fuck his throat, overestimate him, choke him, bite him. Everything be ROUGH
AND I MEAN CHOKE HIM, this psychotic mother fucker would smile while his lungs aren’t getting air
Slap his face, thighs, ass everything. He lives for the stings
The only time he would beg you while bottoming is for you to sit on his face or to cum in his throat
Put a knife to his throat as you pound into him, he would think you are the sexiest thing to ever walk the earth
Maybe even cut him a little bit , collect his blood on your fingers and shove them in his mouth 😏😏
CAN LAST ALL NIGHT, you will probably run out of energy before does so could luck
I want to give him the most coma inducing diabolical earth shaking galaxy destroying supernova creating backshots. 🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️

Okay. Let's talk Jamie and Roy getting beers and being idiots.
I know we are all still processing that whirlwind of a finale. I'm understanding that a lot of people hate the Roy & Jamie scene because it is 1) backslide-y (true) 2) they treat Keeley like a prize to be won (true) and 3) it's OOC (I actually disagree with this one, but I can understand why it's complicated). I want to start off by saying I completely see where this opinion is coming from and I respect everyone who just hates the scene because it shows normally kind characters being very unkind to each other etc. This is less me arguing against that as it is me trying to articulate (at great length, sorry) why it not only worked for me, but I genuinely liked it.
I like to think I strike a balance between loving everything the show has done and hating overwhelmingly on a show I claim to enjoy, but sure, you could definitely argue that I'm just giving my favorite characters the benefit of the doubt, or making excuses for them, because they're my favorite characters. I'll admit I'm historically very forgiving of all the main characters' many fuck-ups on Ted Lasso, but that's because I think the show works best when it emphasizes how kindness, forgiveness, friendship and love can still operate between imperfect, flawed people. I like seeing them make realistic mistakes much more than I like everyone handling everything perfectly, I'll bite.
So, back to Jamie and Roy. I enjoyed their finale plot because despite them making a world of mistakes, the regression felt very, very human. I don't agree at all with the take that this somehow erased all the progress they've made this season or the friendship the show has lovingly crafted between them. In fact, I think this actively reiterated it! (Note: I am operating with my ot3 goggles on at all times, so I'm going to write this with that at least partially in mind, but I think the gist of it works even if you ignore the bits that get a little shippy.)
For both Jamie and Roy, Keeley and their love for her is a major beacon guiding them. I think that is the crisp, clear thing in both of their heads this episode: Keeley is the love of my life. And they both believe that wholeheartedly, and they both want to be with her. (and it's goofy to pretend this came out of nowhere for Jamie/since when is Jamie still in love with her/etc. because he literally told her and us this last season and nothing that has happened since has indicated otherwise, btw.) But there's also something else now, which is their relationship with each other, battling with their Keeley thoughts. It's like, in Roy's head, for instance, I imagine there are two wolves: on the one hand he loves Keeley, and wants to be with her, and plans to win back her heart. On the other hand, there's his love and care for Jamie Tartt, which is much less defined and inarticulate and maybe still a little repressed, but just as overpowering. His love for Keeley feels so simple and clear in comparison, while his love for Jamie is something complicated and unsure, and in this episode, he's leaning hard into the first to avoid unpacking the second.
So Roy starts off strong. He sees Jamie with Keeley in the hallway and he doesn't flip out!! Instead, he approaches Jamie calmly, and invites him out for beers. Think about how different this is from his reaction to Jamie's love confession to Keeley in season 2. This is Roy's growth in action, and it's a resounding sign of just how important Jamie is to Roy now. Even when he is feeling jealous of the woman he loves potentially leaving him behind for a man he loves (a completely natural reaction, let's be so real, if not a "good" one), he also knows that for as much as he wants to be with Keeley, he doesn't want to lose his friendship with Jamie.
As for Jamie, I know some people took his reaction and subsequent response to Nate's question as like, shock at the realization that he and Roy are actually friends now, which I agree is something that had to have come earlier in the timeline (what was Mom City if not that) and would seem very out of place at this point. What I saw it as instead was Jamie's brain more just. sort of short-circuiting? Because: holy shit isn't this the best day ever? First Keeley agreed to go to Brazil with me and now Roy is asking me on a date for beers? this is so sound. This invite is out of place behavior from Roy even within the parameters of their friendship, because they still have a match to win and Roy has banned Jamie from beers as part of his training and despite them being close now I find it hard to believe that Roy often comes up to him right there in dressing room to ask him to grab a beer with no pretense.
Therefore, they're already walking into that bar in completely different head-spaces. Jamie isn't planning to discuss Keeley, and for Roy that is his major intention behind the evening. Jamie is nervous and downing his beer, and Roy is internally panicking, I'm imagining, over when and how to bring Keeley up. I think Roy is thinking: Well, I don't intend to stop pursuing Keeley, I genuinely don't want Jamie's feelings to be hurt when I get back together with her (and yes, it is a huge presumption for him to assume Keeley's going to eventually take him back. But I think it's also an understandable one), so I've got to tell Jamie I care about him, and that I'm going to keep going after Keeley, and he needs to be okay with that so that this won't get in the way of our friendship, which I also desperately need and am unwilling to give up. In his mind, Jamie is of course going to accept all of this, because Roy and Keeley are soulmates, which Jamie will clearly recognize deep down because it is so obvious and right and anyway, Jamie always does what Roy tells him to do (again, this is all misguided thinking. But we can see how Roy's anxious little brain that's bad at processing feelings and holding space for emotions could get himself here, can't we?).
So again, we start off strong with Roy saying he's proud of Jamie and them both thanking one another. But then Roy's blurting out nonsense about how Jamie just needs to pull himself out of the running and just let Roy be with Keeley. Which is obviously not on. And Jamie responds, simply, with No. I'd argue this is also a huge step for Jamie. Jamie really doesn't tell Roy no anymore, he doesn't tell anyone no. Jamie has spent so much of his time since coming back to Richmond working to be the person everyone around him wants and expects him to be. This is him fighting for something he wants for once, doing what is best for him. It was a fabulous progression to see. In the moment, boy does it work Roy up, because why is Jamie not agreeing with me, Jamie always agrees with me? but obviously at this point, Jamie is in the right. His relationship with Keeley was no less meaningful than Roy's just because Roy says it was, Roy doesn't have any claim on her, and there's no real reason Jamie should not try and shoot his shot with Keeley if Roy is going to do the same.
Here's where things start to spiral. Established flaws we know about Roy: he's competitive. He's bad at voicing his feelings productively. And he is territorial about the people he loves, a category that safely includes both Jamie and Keeley at this point in time, for better and sometimes worse. Yes, his next actions are grossly possessive over Keeley, yes Roy has made a lot of effort over the past year to do and be better than that, to break free of that cycle. But look, it's not a linear process. He's going to still mess up, and he does here. In fact he's downright mean, weaponizing Keeley against Jamie and throwing having sex with Keeley a month ago into Jamie's face, bragging about it, boasting. Same old cycle, same old patterns of ego-driven, prideful mistakes.
Which promptly prompts Jamie to also fuck up by bringing up the leak. It's a concentrated response intended to get a suitable rise out of Roy, because Roy has really, genuinely hurt him here, and Jamie knows bringing up that video is the one thing that will hurt Roy just as much in turn. It's not the right thing to do, obviously, but again, it's such a human thing to do. Hurt the person who's hurt you right back, even if you're hurting someone else (Keeley) by extension. Mind you, Jamie came here expecting a hangout (/date) with Roy over a rare beer, and instead he got Roy being a complete asshole and lecturing nonsense at him out of seemingly nowhere. He reacts to this change-up, well, not greatly. There is something so messy and emotionally complicated happening here and it hinges on how very much Jamie and Roy care about each other, not negates it.
Keeley, queen that she is, rejects them both out of hand and kicks them out not the curb immediately because they're both being complete idiots, acting like they're so gracious in giving her the honor and privilege of choosing between them. Not to mention they've clearly got something going on between them they haven't worked through and that sure as shit isn't her problem, is it? Keeley (presumably, and I wish we had seen this) calls them out their shit and tosses them right back out the door.
Which leaves Jamie and Roy to lament how they've let their egos get away from them, they've been idiots (which they acknowledge immediately) and decide that now they should go for kebabs, presumably to actually hangout this time, not to interrupt themselves with inflated talk about who "deserves" Keeley more. They both screwed up, they acknowledge it, and all they can do is try again tomorrow, and in the meantime, go on that kebab date.
I guess....I can just see where both of them are coming from? it's not mature behavior, obviously, it's maybe not what we would have liked to have seen from them in the finale episode of the show. But it was regression that I didn't feel impeded their overall progress. Roy in particular was being a complete dick about it, but that's why the very next morning he's finally knocking on the Diamond Dogs' door. And honestly, that conversation was heartbreaking. When Roy admitted he'd expected, after a year of putting in the work, to be a whole new person...god. This is a man who still completely hates himself, to the point where he can't quite grasp that he can be better where he's at now, that he doesn't have to transform magically into someone new in order to do right by himself and others. And so he has to consciously determine, once again, to do better, be better.
The message is: change isn't linear, you're going to fuck-up, and fall back into old patterns. What matters is trying every day to do better together, and be better for one another, than you were the day before. That is the meeting point all three sides of the royjamiekeeley triangle were heading towards by the end of the episode.
So yes, it was rushed, because no one gets much screen time in a finale (and the overarching issue with this season anyway is god awful pacing. The last three episodes could've easily been the second half of the season, while the first half of the season was stretched out and largely extraneous). And yes, I would've liked a more thoughtful follow-up conversation between Roy and Keeley or all three of them. My biggest issue was that we didn't get to hear Keeley's voice hardly at all. I would at the very least have liked to have seen her setting them straight at her kitchen table, because turning both of them down signifies very important growth in her, too, and I would've liked exploring that more explicitly. So it wasn't perfect. But I still liked it, I really did.

IN WHICH MANEATER!reader admits their feelings for the van der linde boys. [p.2] [p.1]
Tumblr media
includes: charles ∿ lenny ∿ sean ∿ bill
content warning: fluff, a little angsty in bill’s part, no pronouns [GN]
a/n: i think half of them are so ooc nd im so sorry omdgshjq i’m still trying to figure out how to write for lenny and sean but i promise i’ll get better with time 🦾
✦ ﹒ charles smith
you caught him off guard, that's for sure..
charles is used to being perceived as intimidating and scary, considering his origins and his size, but that's what you like about him.
he never noticed how you'd stare lovingly whenever he'd explain his cultural way of hunting down animals or practice some other things.
and you never noticed how much he had to turn his head away when he saw you flirting men according to dutch's plan. but charles have dignity, and would admit to have found himself jealous every time you'd coo love words out of those pretty lips of yours.
probably needs time to acknowledge that you're dead serious about this relationship, and really looking forward to it. he's not against it tho, he's just.. surprised.
be ready because those massive hands of his are never leaving your waist the moment he gracefully accepts your confession. like never ever. and he doesn't have any shame either, and maybe he'll refrain from being too much of a sweetie in camp for your sake, given you can be easily embarassed if he surprise you with his loving demeanour, but he won't hold back as soon as the gang members are away.
"my mother taught me all the ways to treat a lover.. i hope it'll meet your expectations."
unfiltered romantic. it makes you blush how much he says the most romantic thing out of pocket and pretend like that never happened.
your name is the only thing that comes out of his mouth every now and then, you know because arthur keeps mentioning how much charles talks about you as if you were the only beautiful thing that's plaguing his mind.
✦ ﹒ lenny summers
lenny is so flustered, i'm sorry, god, he's baby
he probably stammered like a fool after you confessed, why wouldn't he? you're perfect, so perfect and he's just some kid, trying to be a big bad outlaw. perhaps that's what you like about him. he's nervous like a little kitty, and lord knows how much nervous men makes your day.
"i- i.. ahem.. yes, yes, of course!"
you made him so embarassed, i hope you're proud of yourself.
he'll struggle telling you how jealous he felt, it didn't really struck his mind first before you even confessed, i mean, sure he did think you were charming, but he never really bat an eye at your work.
he only got feelings because you were fun to listen to, you didn’t notice how he’d watch you every time you went on your drunken rants. it’s only recently that you found out according to karen.
for most of the part, lenny would rely on you. i mean you can’t blame him, you’re popular. in a way, you are, you’re like dutch. you have a lot of contacts, and charisma, he’s been a bystander. he’s pretty awkward, he doesn’t know what to do, but you find it cute, somehow.
of course, he’ll start to man up eventually when he feels more confident by the time you’ve shown him what you’re most comfortable with in terms of love languages, and he easily adapts himself to it. i mean, he absolutely loves spending time with you, and the amount of patience you put in for him really melts his heart in a way, but he’ll never admit it. ever.
depending on what you’re most comfortable with, lenny would gladly ride all the way to saint-denis for the simple wish of getting you something expensive, or even bring you along with him so you get to choose what you want. something he didn’t expect to see is you using your flirtatious ways of getting an item for free.
“you really know how to fool a man.. please don’t make a fool out of me.”
✦ ﹒ sean macguire
“ha! i knew ya’d fall for me!”
absolutely did not know you’d fall for him.
sean likes to be confident, at least he likes to appear confident. but often mix things up with arrogance, and if you were to call him out on that, he would tone it down a little. he doesn’t mean to be rude to you, he’s genuinely happy, he just doesn’t know how to properly express it.
sean have a loud mouth, and he didn’t hide the fact that he was getting irritated when men were attracted to you, often times he’d be barked at by arthur or john for fucking up your plan for being jealous. he never understood it, he thought he was being a gentleman chasing those creeps away.
he’s a comedian, on accident. you don’t know how to describe it but there’s something really sweet in seeing him ramble to the point where he’s humorous like that. you guess that’s how you fell for him. sean is so honest. and so dumb, too.
what you most love, is when he gets drunk. that’s where he starts to be overwhelmingly affectionate. and the gang teases you about it, but you couldn’t care less. he’s adorable that way! why would you make fun of something as precious as his honesty? especially when he’s slurring on his words, too?
he’s not a charmer with words, and he knows it. that’s why the best he could do to prove his love is by teasing or joking around with you, he’s trying his best.
“these english men keeps bullyin’ ya… just tell me! i’ll shoot ‘em right between thei’ eyes, yeah?”
he wants to look strong and fearless for you, he wants to impress you in every way he can. sometimes, you’d see him getting angry about the fact that he lost something, wether i’d be a fist fight or a game, but the moment he sees you, he gets embarrassed.
you’re the only one who can reassure him that what he failed to achieve doesn’t matter much, the effort is more important.
✦ ﹒ bill williamson
doesn’t believe you. at all.
bill was always made fun of, or teased by others to get a rise out of him. and he doesn’t believe you, because he thinks it’s just another way to make him mad. but he can’t help and think how evil this is, using you, someone he truly admire, to pick on him?
when you insist that you’re not joking, bill starts to get angry. not at you, but it’s just the way he is, he’s trying his best but he’s still in doubt.
given your reputation with men, and how many times he have to ignore you on duty, he just think it’s purely for the entertainment of seeing him falling like a fool. williamson is someone who’s not joking around, and that you know.
“if you love me, why would you?” he snaps. then immediately regrets. he doesn’t wanna lash it out on you, and he’d drink himself to death if he’s actually convinced that you love him that way.
he wants to apologize, but no words are leaving his mouth. and there’s an unbearable amount of pressure on his shoulders by this point, but when you take your time and explain to him the reason behind your fondness, he softens up a tad.
you had the patience to deal with him, surely you were serious?
“fine. i believe you. but i’m warning you, if this is some sick joke, i’ll—… i’ll…”
he won’t do anything.
for the past few weeks, you’ve been awfully affectionate towards him to prove your point. and he complains about it, tho he secretly enjoy having your full undivided attention. every time dutch planned to take him for a mission, you’ve been prepping his saddle and equipments, and when he came back, you’ve welcome him back with your arms open.
and while you were acting like some kind of stay-at-home spouse, bill would be silently protective over you. when you have to talk to men and women and fake another of your identity to wrap them around your finger, bill would silently sit at a table nearby and watch carefully, making sure no one lays a finger on you.
and when you thank him for his care through kisses, all you hear are grumbling noises and a little “you’re welcome”.
he’s just an angry worked up man, but you love him for it. (surprisingly!)

— icks w/ toji fushiguro, gojo satoru, geto suguru, & sukuna ryomen – main masterlist
Tumblr media
TOJI FUSHIGURO | i bet ya'll can guess. it's the fucking worm.
you recognize that he needs the thing in order to fight, and that it is very useful in terms of combat, so you don't have the heart to tell him how much it freaks you out.
he legitimately treats it like a child. whenever you ask why he has to be so gentle with it, he tells you that he has to keep it in top condition so that it can store as many weapons as possible, but he feeds it. he gives it baths. he lets it sleep on a little dog bed that he bought at pet smart. you felt that maybe he was going a little bit overboard.
you've also caught him talking to it. it just really gives you the creeps.
he was so offended when you voiced your disgust with it. like, he held it up and told you that you made it feel bad, then demanded that you apologize.
"are you serious?"
toji just stared at you, one eyebrow raised as he held his worm out in front of him. it was staring at you with those beady eyes, and you couldn't help but crinkle your nose. no matter how many times toji bathed it, it still smelled.
"what's with the face?"
"i'm sorry! it's just so ugly..."
"it? seriously? he's a him."
"good lord, toji."
Tumblr media
GOJO SATORU | he's always late. he makes it his whole personality.
he likes to make an entrance, which means that he has to enter every room alone. since many people show up early to events, and even arrives on time, showing up late is his only option.
while that's all fine and dandy for him, when you are each other's respective dates for events either at the school or at your workplace, it becomes your problem as well.
one time, he really wanted to impress his students at a party that he decided to put together at the school, so he made you wait outside so he could enter alone.
"no, you won't have to go in alone! i'll go, then i'll come back out and we'll go in together."
sometimes he shows up late to fights. if he knows who or what he's fighting, he'll make sure he knows if it's a special grade. if it is, he claims that lateness will make him look cooler and more intimidating. this has led to many problems and many stern lectures from nanami.
the one thing he doesn't show up late to is date night. he says that you already know how cool he is, so there's no need.
Tumblr media
GETO SUGURU | when he eats curses.
on an objective level you understand. it's a necessary part of his technique, but the way that he decides to do it is so theatrical. you always have to turn away if he starts doing it in front of you, and then he gets all pouty.
you try to tell him that it's not because of him; it's just the idea of it that freaks you out, but he's not having it. you get the silent treatment for a little bit, and then the cycle repeats.
he starts doing it in front of you on purpose. like, he hoards those little curse balls, and then when you two have dinner, he'll be like "oh, i'm covered for tonight" and literally dumps like eight of them on his plate and gives you this smug little grin.
you try and act like it doesn't bother you, but then he sticks a fork in one and sticks his tongue out, making sure to accompany the movements with a loud "ahhh," followed by a satisfied "mmm" when he's swallowed it. this continues for all eight of the curses, and by the sixth one you've scarfed down your food and excused yourself from the table.
your last straw was when he asked you to feed them to him.
Tumblr media
SUKUNA RYOMEN | his god complex.
lets start by saying that this man would never be in a relationship. not a healthy one, at least. but for fanfic's sake, let's go a bit ooc.
he slowly but surely becomes used to the healthier aspects of being in a relationship, but he's also still the king of curses. sometimes, when he's annoyed with you, he says things like "one thousand years ago, i'd have crushed you under my thumb for saying those things" and "i can't believe i'm being told to 'get over myself' by a measly human"
with anyone else, it would be extremely concerning. however, you were the one who chose an evil, immortal curse.
you still tell him off, though. it can be really annoying when he gets all high and mighty. because while he is, he doesn't have to act like it all the time.
this complex also means that he can become very possessive. unhealthily so. if any other person even looks in your direction, he's about three seconds from wiping them from existence. while he is very secure in his relationship, and knows that you would never leave him (he knows what he looks like), he also knows that he has the power to do whatever he wants, so killing a few people who give you sideways glances won't hurt anyone. well, mostly.
you try to get him to calm down, but after a while it seems hopeless to even try. again, you knew what you were getting into.

Late nights: Simon "Ghost" Riley x gn reader
Another COD post? Yes, and this time it's longer. I recently started a new job where I work pretty late hours and I get home pretty late at night which has been messing with my sleep schedule but I thought I might as well make content out of it. I kept the job vague because I'm kinda lazy.
Warnings: Tired reader, fluff, comfort, maybe ooc Ghost
You got off your seven hour shift 20 minutes ago and you're finally home. It's around 12:30 in the morning and you know the minute you walk in the door Simon is going to wake up and come downstairs and tell you to be more quiet coming in when he quite literally can wake up from one of his hairs moving.
You turn off your car and get out, your feet feeling like they're going to break if you try to even take one more step. Your neck and back are stiff from picking up and moving so much all day long. You open the door and hang up your keys. Taking off your shoes you set them down and make your way upstairs. You can see your bedroom light on and you sigh, knowing a lecture is waiting for you. You're too exhausted and your feet hurt too much to bother showering tonight so you make your way into your bedroom and find your boyfriend sitting in bed, reading a book, waiting for you.
"Hey honey," You say taking off your work shirt and putting on one of your sleep shirts, "I'm sorry I woke you up. I really tried to be as quiet as I could be." You take off your work pants next and put on pajama pants before walking over to your bed and collapsing onto the mattress. You often complained about how it was too firm for you, but tonight it felt like heaven against your tired body.
"Don't be too sorry about it. I couldn't sleep anyway," He sets his book down and turns his attention over to you and your aching body and mind, "I assume you're very tired at the moment." You can't even nod, you just groan in agreement.
"I swear I need to start working different shifts. Sleeping in isn't this worth it." You shut your eyes as you feel Simon's large hand move to your shoulder and start to massage it. You sigh in pleasure as you feel yourself start to fall asleep. His soothing motions and the soft hum of the fan on your ceiling mixing together into the most beautiful harmony of sleep.
Eventually you're passed out and Ghost turns off his lamp, laying down next to you and falling asleep himself.
You wake up the next morning to Simon spooning you from behind. You smile to yourself and roll over onto your other side to face him. He obviously wakes up and smiles back at you. Your body aches but you're ignoring it the best you can.
"Good morning Simon. I hope you know I have to get up soon from the way you're holding me so tight." He groans and pulls you in closer against him.
"You're not getting out of bed today. You've been working all week. I want to treat you." He says in his low morning voice, his accent just making it hotter to hear.
"So we're just going to lay here in bed all morning?" You ask, rubbing your hands up and down his back.
"You're staying in bed for the day. I'm doing everything else for you." You pull away from him to look him in the eye. He's completely serious.
"Simon you can't really expect me to let you do everything yourself today honey. I'd feel bad if I didn't try to help you at least a little bit."
"I'm really expecting you to take today off and just relax baby," He presses a kiss to your forehead, "Just let me take care of you." You sigh and press back into him.
"Alright fine. Just stay here for a little while longer."
"That I can do.

The Times They Are a Changin' by Bandtrees and Hatsunoid is absolutely amazing
...And if you can handle the contents of it. No seriously. The fic is definitely dark and if you're sensitive to MEDICAL ABUSE, GORE, AND ABLEISM—Don't read it. It's especially centered around those and unless you close your eyes for all of it, you're not going to be able to handle it.
BUT!! It's so good, I would love to erase my memory just to experience reading it for the first time all over again. The disturbing parts aren't OOC (in my opinion at least) and it's very well-written, some optional out-of-site parts too.
A Laconic Summary: Mob loses control over his powers and causes permanent brain damage to Reigen and Ritsu. This fic explores the possible effects of that
Things of Note (as tags): Ambiguous Ending, Parasites (Specifically maggots and they're not TOO important, but they're there during a somewhat important moment)
Extremely long rambling (with spoilers) below the cut
This fic is so good, I created a sideblog for my AO3 to post about it. This fic is so good, that I had to stop what I was doing even though it is probably going to be detrimental to my grades. This fic is so good, that I was nearly about to rip my hair out from its roots
It's about 100k chapters long, separated into two parts. I'm easily bored and there's been plenty of times I've read a fic with maybe half the length, gotten bored, and thought of some parts as a slogfest even when it really wasn't—I just suck at getting through longfics. But reading through this, there was never a point where I thought that. Tensions were always high, rising even when I thought it wouldn't be able to, and I would end up near-screaming
And the way it shows how different characters feel? Gorgeous. Amazing. Love it.
Obviously, we have the normal book style descriptions from one character's POV, but then we have Teru's diary and Shou's little monologues(?), and it's all really cool??!?! Maybe that's what helped keep my attention. That and the little off-site links.
Speaking of those, I think I found all of them, but I'm not that observant so I could have easily missed some. And wow. Jesus christ. The last couple ones, the ones of Shou's gallery as his phone was getting wrecked, I was. just. In shock. I'm a very sentimental person who cares about photos and things, and I don't know how Shou didn't begin loudly crying right then and there because I would have
And god, so many times did I think 'Is this fic going to have untagged MCD?'. I was constantly at the edge of my seat expecting that someone would die. Reigen, Ritsu, Mob, Shou, Teru, Dimple (especially when he confronted Mob right as he was about to lobotomize Ritsu)... Basically all the main characters in the fic had moments where I was preparing to mourn
Mob really left for the deep end in this fic. I won't say that I fully get why he was so convinced that what he was doing was right, but it makes sense for him. He's not the type to let go easily, he's someone who draws strength from his bonds, and his aspect could be blood. And almost all his life, the message to never give up was basically struck into his head over and over. The one time I can recall where it wasn't? Claw, Seventh Division, where Reigen told him it's okay to run away. But I doubt that tilted the scale into being balanced in the slightest. There's so much more I could say about him in this fic. But I'll save it for now
Teru was... Teru. I understand him more than I did Mob, I think if I were in his situation, I would have maybe stopped at a certain point but we would be very similar in most of the actions we take. In the first chapter, I went 'haha silly!' at his entries. Seeing them as a little treat between the downers surrounding it. But then after he helped 'operate' (It doesn't feel right calling it that), I guess it really hit me. Then I started questioning if I would have done what he did. Then I realised I would have. Then I spiralled until I told myself this kind of situation will likely never happen to me and if it does, I'll get to it when I get to it
Serizawa is easily one of the ones you can feel for the most. Unlike Mob and Teru, he hadn't done anything to Reigen and Ritsu personally. And unlike Shou and Dimple, he didn't say harsh words. Perhaps you could blame him for not taking action sooner, but they all can be blamed for that.
Shou... Oh my god. Shou. At first, I was ready to fight Shou tooth and nail because really? That one comment on FriendBook wasn't necessary. I don't know how or why Mob didn't block him. But then as Mob spiralled further and further, I was hoping for him to make his way back into the narrative to save Reigen and Ritsu. Then he did. And he failed and he was injured and I thought he was going to die. Then he didn't. And it's implied he could have helped them. But could he have also made it worse? Who knows, that's why I put Ambiguous Ending as a thing of note.
DON'T FORGET THE OUT-OF-LINK STUFF!!! Mixed media fics that have off-site links are truly beautiful. My friend and I love that shit. Should she ever get into MP100, I'll recommend this fic to him with a shit-eating grin on my face. I hope the word count doesn't intimidate him erogdfkg... Every single bit of the off-site links I saw was just so cool. The art of Reigen made me feel strong unease, the real videos too, and that one animated video with Ritsu and Mob and Teru. Okay basically everything gave me a strong unease. But that's the point!!! And it was done well!!!!
This fic is pure talent, skill, and effort put into something that shouldn't just be preserved via a PDF file, but should be carved into stone for future archaeologists to discover. I wish I could hold even a fraction of power needed to create something this masterful
On a more less-serious note to finish this off: Mobway. Red Mobster. I was about to lose my shit. Every single time one of the companies showed up I was about to tear my hair out (in a funny way) because it felt like falling for a prank. I ESPECIALLY LOST MY SHIT AT PSYCHOLOGIST PEPPER BECAUSE IT TOOK ME SCROLLING DOWN BEFORE REALISING. Truly, the minds behind this were geniuses
Also, this might sound weird, but I got reminded of KomaedaLoveMail while reading this. The off-site links to websites for sure helped, but I guess I just associate talk of gore in written form in this way with KLM? Or maybe I haven't quite recovered from consuming that piece of media (Can you even call KLM that?) yet. This isn't bad by the way, I loved deepdiving into KLM even though my feeble brain couldn't comprehend shit.
And and one last note- Opening the song link in the end notes was like emotional whiplash. I had to sit there for a bit to process. Good music
This is a whole mess. Even for a ramble, it's a whole mess. I don't have words or sentences or even phrases for how I feel right now. I'm a mess

summary: a look into how marc and reader met.
pairing: gn!reader x marc spector
contents: boxing, flirting, kissing, discussions of DID, fluff
an: this is the companion piece to this fic, and serves as a prequel to it. there won’t be any interaction between marc and steven, though marc will be thinking about steven. gif credits are @moonknightyws. you could say marc is ooc for being this open or maybe he’s so into reader he doesn’t have a choice <3
word count: 1.4k
mcu masterlist
One question is what starts it all: “Are you always this pissed off?”
You’ve been warming up a few punching bags down from the man with tan skin, a set jaw, and furrowed brows who could probably rip his own punching bag in half if he wanted to. You’ve seen him before, too many times if you’re being honest and your curiosity finally gets the best of you. You ask him this question, deadpanned but he catches the slightest bit of humor in your eyes before turning away. He’s not sure why he answers.
“Yes,” He huffs, landing another crushing blow to the punching bag he’s pummeling.
“Violence isn’t as cathartic as it once was. In fact, it can make things worse.”
He gets it and he doesn’t. Marc knows that he’s attractive, that he can attract attention, good and bad. You’re flirting with him, or maybe just trying to make a friend but only he knows that you’ve chosen the wrong person. The wrong persons. There’s too much of everything pent up in his body, some of it not even his own.
He should let you go. He should be incredibly rude to you and let you go. Typical he could, he would, but there’s something different about you already. But, there’s too much in the way. Khonshu’s requirements. Steven’s eventual return.
He can’t help but think about how good Steven would be to you if he could get his shit together. Maybe you could help Steven get his shit together. Maybe you could help both of them get their shit together. Maybe the pain wouldn’t suffocate him if he had someone like you, soft and helpful by his side. But, he really should scare you away.
He tries and fails to keep the edge in his voice, though he’s still got his face set in that glare, “What would you suggest then?”
You lean against the punching bag that’s now just slightly swaying, “Do you like fried chicken?”
If he wasn’t so tense he’d laugh at your question, “Yes.”
You treat him to a smile, it’s bright, sweet, and a little mischievous, “Music?”
“Sure,” He answers slowly with narrowed eyes.
“Water?”
The answer to that is complicated, but he doesn’t want to get into that right now. Or ever. He feels inclined to answer honestly, “Depends.”
“There’s this food truck festival on the weekends, down by the water.”
“That’s what you’re suggesting as a defuser?” He sounds skeptical, insulted even but you’re persistent.
“You might actually enjoy yourself instead whatever this is. I mean you come here at least twice a week to beat the shit out of this bag. The same one every time, you don’t even give the poor thing a break.”
“I don’t think you have any room to talk, that means you’re here just as often as me.”
“I’m here for my fitness, and you’re here to…”
“Beat the shit out of this bag,” He provides and you laugh, making his chest fill with an unfamiliar warmth.
“Like I said, you might enjoy yourself doing something other than that.”
He shakes his head, and his eyes almost grow somber, “It’s unlikely.”
“We could wager something,” You suggest, hoping that maybe a bet will get him to open up. With the way you’ve seen him train, you assume he likes to win, even at the little things.
“I’m not sure there’s anything I want from you.”
“Aren’t things we’re not sure of worth exploring?” You challenge, your tongue flicking out over your bottom lip.
Your words earn the smallest of smirks from him and he gives you a tight nod, “I’ll go with you.”
“Fantastic. I’m (Y/N),” You offer him your hand and he takes it, shaking firmly.
“Marc.”
___
The bet that turned into a date was 4 months ago, and now Marc wakes up in your bed at least twice a week. It was impossible to stay away from you, your laugh is infectious, your eyes saccharine.
For the first time in a long time, regardless of the circumstances, Marc feels safe. Safe enough to be honest with you about Steven. It’s hard to describe but he can recognize the signs. As the pressure from Khonshu grows, the more he thinks about his past. It means that Steven can pop out of the woodwork at any time to grant him some reprieve.
The two of you are laying in his bed for a change on a Saturday morning. As always you’re in his clothes, they’re worn and smell like him, it’s what you prefer.
He sits up in bed, his face set into that signature deep glare, “You trust me right?”
“Of course, I trust you,” You answer quickly with no doubts, but Marc hesitates, breaking eye contact for just a moment. It’s not something he does often, and the extra edge in his voice lets you know something is up. You sit up next to him, resting your head on his shoulder. “Hey, what is it? What’s wrong?”
“There are some things you need to know for this to work. It’s complicated, that's why I don’t do this but I…” He looks away, running his hand up and down your bare thigh. “I trust you and I want this to work so I have to tell you this.”
“Marc, the last thing I want is for you to do something you’re not ready for. If this is too much, if I’m too much, then just be honest with me.”
His expression softens into this tender look you never thought he’d be capable of, “You being too much is the last thing on my mind. It’s the opposite.”
“You’re not too much. A little intense, but I like that about you.”
There’s a long pause as Marc thinks about the way to do this. He decides that ripping off the bandaid is the best option. Whether it goes well or not, being direct will bring this conversation to resolution quicker.
He blows out a deep breath before speaking, “There’s more than just me.”
You lean back to get a good look at him, “What do you mean?”
“In my head, there’s more than just me,” He repeats.
“Like a different voice? A different personality?”
He shakes his head, “A completely different person. His name is Steven.”
You get that look on your face that indicates you’re processing and he lets you sit in peace, his anxiety heightening as each second passes. You know he’s being serious, Marc’s not one to bullshit so you think it through slowly, accepting the information. There’s not much else you can do, not when you feel so deeply for him. If you’re being honest with yourself, you’re falling in love with him. You know he’s not ready to hear that, but it’s true.
A question pops into your mind, “Has he always been there?”
“No.”
Marc doesn’t offer any more information about Steven’s origin and he doesn’t look like he wants to, so you propose a different question, “What’s he like?”
A soft, almost fond smile spreads across his face, “He’s gentle. And a nerd.”
“One could argue that you’re a nerd with all your…gadgets,” You gesture to his piles of electronic equipment and he rolls his eyes.
“I am not a nerd.”
“If you say so,” You put your hands up in defeat when he gives you a look. “So, tell me more about him.”
“He’s British.”
“He’s British?” You repeat, with a raised eyebrow.
“And he’s the reason I have that stupid fucking fish,” Marc nods his head over to the tank, rolling his eyes.
”Hey, I love that stupid fucking fish,” You attempt to push him back into bed with your hands but he’s quicker and stronger, gripping your hand and pulling you into his lap where you gladly get comfortable. “When will I get to meet him?”
“It’s hard to say. He has a mind of his own,” He pinches your thigh playfully when you giggle at his accidentally play-on-words, “That is not a pun, don’t laugh.”
His grumpiness makes you laugh harder, and he falls back into the bed wrapping both of his arms around you until you’re finished.
“Marc?” You peer up at him, resting your chin on his chest.
“Hmm?” He hums, bending down to kiss the tip of your nose.
“Thank you for feeling like you could tell me.”
“Don’t get sappy,” His eyes betray what he says, full of a soft, hazy affection.
You take his words as permission to do something else with your lips and wiggle up his body until you can kiss him. His lips are firm and urgent, his arms tightening around you as he thrusts his tongue into your mouth to claim it. Ready and willing you submit to him, letting him kiss you as hungrily as he wants to, trapped in his arms. There’s no place you’d rather be.
if you’d like to be on my moonknight taglist let me know!

ooh, are we making fun of NFCV again? i wanna add to the pile re: how all the so-called "diversity" and "representation" it gets praised for goes overwhelmingly, if not entirely to the bad guys - and half of them don't even have a speaking role or even names, or at least we don't learn about them anywhere else besides the supplementary material, like in the case of drac's vampire generals (except godbrand, of course). even the two PoC good guys i can think of, zamfir and greta, aren't that great considering zamfir is portrayed as hopelessly and delusionally devoted to the deceased targoviste royalty, to the point of forsaking the wellbeing of both the underground and aboveground survivors, and then dies anyway in service of that delusion. and greta's just a last-minute newcomer to allegedly address grant's conspicuous absence that fans were complaining about from the start.
We never stop making fun of NFCV lol, there's always something new to point out 🥰
I can see how fans would respond to this that representation doesn't need to be relegated to heroes only, and you can have minority villains as long as they're not stereotyped. But yeah, the representation in NFCV is shallow at best and offensive at worst.
Most Generals in Dracula's army don't have a speaking role. Cho, the Japanese vampire who goes down in less than a minute in S2, gets a flashback after she died, because storytelling.mp4, and even then she doesn't talk. I only remember Raman's name because Carmilla says something like "there are only 4 women in this castle" nope it's just 3 of them lmao
Sumi and Taka look identical despite not being related according to Word of God, which is hysterical to me because you know they said that to divert the accusations of incest. my pal. you really think your GoT-inspired show is above twin siblings having a threesome? Also, you know, they immediately jump to rape by deception without a hint that they'd do that through all season, and then their corpses get graphically mutilated and pissed on (contrast this with the white, most likely French Lenore who gets to flirt and be cute with her victim)
Isaac is gay! How do we know that? He "jokes" out of nowhere about kissing Hector, a guy he has zero respect for. This line has no follow-up and is OOC with how serious the character is always portrayed. And that's not counting his declaration of love made to his abusive master when he was a boy.
I don't know enough about Islam to have a solid opinion on how it was treated in Isaac's case, and in a vacuum having a "complex" Muslim anti-villain is more original than usual. But I don't like how his self-flagellating habit was first treated as a result of his traumatic past, then as a religious practice, then completely dropped. Using Mohammed's own words about Hell being emptied, which from what I've read mean that in Islam hell is transitory, and twisting them to justify his necromancy is... certainly a delicate choice, but again, he doesn't really reflect on this in S4, he just jumps to "wow I sure love having agency!"
Also, in retrospect, it would have been much better if Isaac hailed from the Emirate of Granada instead of being a slave, a backstory more befitting for N!Annette for her origins and time period. In his case, it would have been more original, and expanded the world a little more. What's that? He wouldn't have a reason to hate humankind? Then how come game!Isaac can do it just fine? :) You know, since he was persecuted (maybe even by the Spanish Inquisition!) for his cursed powers? :) maybe you can have more reasons to hate humans than "former slave"? maybe black people can be depicted as something different than slaves? :)
Striga and Morana are cute together, but are non-entities who begin and end with each other. Also, funny how Morana, the lesbian of color (triple minority!), is literally the most useless and wasted of the four :) and even then the most characterization she gets is "she loves to torture people". nice
Alucard was made bi by Word of God and I don't need to repeat how appalling it is. I hate that most "antis" have a problem with him being attracted to men in the first place, and not that the declaration was made to downplay his sexual assault.
(meanwhile Carmilla, inspired by the literal archetype of the lesbian vampire, to the point that you can even see her game version as being a lesbian thanks to Laura, gets reduced to joke that she'd only sleep with Godbrand if all the men, half of the women and some of the animals died. but hey, she's a radfem, I guess that's enough)
Apparently I have... controversial opinions on the choice of darkening Hector's skin and the ethnicity he is in this version. But I will say that there is something weird in deliberately giving him bronze skin, I suppose to emphasize his Greek heritage, and then spending two seasons literally dehumanizing him and lowering him to the level of a dog and pet.
Also something about the Speakers, nomadic people whose oral traditions get made fun of, by Sypha in particular who calls them idiots, is... hm. The wiki even points out: "They are also similar to the Jews (especially due to their reverence for knowledge and their tradition of oral history) and, to a lesser extent, to the Romani."
I skipped Zamfir's plotline because by S4 I had burnout, but yeah, Greta is probably the best character of color and even then she's little more than a generic badass woman with attitude. Also she's even more ambiguously brown than Hector, I would say on the same level as Casca from Berserk - you can tell she's not white, but she's not really anything else.
(btw no, she has no relation with Grant :) )
tl;dr: the only good representation in nfcv are the tunisi people isaac speaks to and this is why i do not trust them with black annette, and i hate the fucking discourse on twitter from people who just don't like the design change

I think the thing that bothers me more than Dracula media killing off/sidelining Harker is the "Since he's so bland in canon, let's make him a cheater to give him some spice. (And because we can't think of other ways to create drama between couples.)" Like. You might be projecting here my dudes, but this man is physically incapable of cheating.
And if you want to make him flawed, he actually has flaws in canon, go focus on those instead of inventing OOC ones like being a cheater. (Even if it's a sequel and they've learned their lesson to always communicate, there are other flaws that aren't infidelity. Like maybe his xenophobia toward eastern Europeans won't affect his relationship, but his recklessness and single-mindedness could.) (Also they could have conflicts that have little to do with personal flaws or sex, damn!)
See, all of this is making the assumption that these people are actually reading and comprehending the material. Or reading it at all, rather than doing a Wiki skim of Francis' Gary Oldman fanfic film.
But yeah, highlighting his actual flaws as a character would be an interesting change!*
*I have said it 1000 times, but I'll say it again: Jonathan and Mina's clinging to physiognomy and/or outright xenophobia feels so SO ripe for examination as two people in an Othered demographic hiding behind the expected norms (putting down other Othered groups) as a defense mechanism. They both came up poor, Mina's an Irish immigrant and orphaned girl, and Jonathan's quick leap to a kukri as his weapon easily drops a hint of potential Very Not-Anglo heritage.
My main theory for why Jonathan specifically clings to physiognomy and selective ugly attitudes to Dracula's choice of cohorts (leaving aside the direct Bram influence of him only having his info secondhand from biased guides) is that, growing up, Jonathan maybe got treated to some fun racial remarks from some prick classmates. But, being that he's Jonathan, he still draws friends like flies--said friends coming to his defense with the 'science' of physiognomy. They point out that, sure, he's not white, but just look at his face. He's got good bones.
Read: He was attractive enough by everyone's standards that he 'passed' the bullshit pseudoscience test. And Jonathan clung to that as one of few small shoddy shields he had as a lower class, also parent-less (or at least fatherless) boy trying to claw up the rickety social ladder. Same goes for Mina, whose whole character--from the New Woman put-downs to her own unfortunate belief in Lombroso--screams Dutiful Orphan Who Must Be Good and Useful and Not Like [INSERT ICKY BAD GROUP HERE].
It would make sense for them both. It wouldn't be an excuse, but it would be a reason. And, in light of all the very sudden, very harsh, very world-shaking thresholds they were forced to cross in the wake of Dracula's mess, I'm betting this is a good foundation for both Harkers to start growing past these old biases.
There's definitely a wide open door to start with--learning new languages, cultures, and beliefs from the so-called 'Old World.' Because hey, those superstitions have proven themselves pretty fucking real and it was only by the locals' warning, aid, and charity that Jonathan made it out unbitten and with his mind intact. And it was their exact same aids that Van Helsing employed, bar the wafer crumbs.
There is SO MUCH POTENTIAL here for the Harkers--and, we can assume, the Suitors and Benignly Misogynistic 'Hooray for Man's Brain' Van Helsing--to evolve under the right adaptation or sequel.
But I'm not holding my breath.

For Orca lady (Orcitoh perhaps or Orphae??) here are some questions!
after 100 years passes, does she realise that she misses link's rivalry and camaraderie? when he comes back how does she react? How does she react when she sees Link in Mipha's engagement armour? What does she think of Muzu? did she help Mipha on her journey to collect things for the engagement armour and help her keep it a secret? Did she know about the armour in the first place? Did Mipha start resenting her for her dislike of Link/ was Link's dislike of her a topic of argument between mipha and link? does she begrudgingly respect Link for his cooking prowesses? What's her favourite food and weapon? what's her relationship with Doraphan like?
Hope that helps unveil a bit about her character :)
Ahh those are great name suggestions!!!
Long answers under the cut ⤵
Feel free to send me more questions like these, too!! it was super fun to answer all of these ♡
after 100 years passes, does she realise that she misses Link's rivalry and camaraderie? 
I think she does! She finds herself missing their spars and arguments, and while she really resents Link for failing Hyrule and Mipha (in her mind), she wishes he was still around. 
When he comes back, how does she react? 
Anger, at first. She can’t believe he has the gall to show up at Zora’s Domain after letting everyone down with no memories. It makes her furious, because at the very least he could have remembered Mipha, but he doesn't. After he regains his memories and kills Ganon she warms up to him a little, and they even become good friends. I’d like to think in an AU where the Champions come back (i have a fic about that on a03 wink wonk), she’d be a lot nicer once he brought Mipha back :))))))) 
How does she react when she sees Link in Mipha's engagement armour? 
I think she would be hurt and a little heartbroken, but try to be happy for them as long as Link treated Mipha right. 
What does she think of Muzu? 
I think she would find him a little annoying and disapprove of how hard he works the Zora siblings, but she doesn’t hate him. Muzu on the other hand loves her, since she’s hard working at her job. Maybe they’re even both out-of-towners in Zora’s Domain and hail from the ocean.
Did she help Mipha on her journey to collect things for the engagement armour and help her keep it a secret? 
I think she would when it was too dangerous for only one person, but understands it’s a pretty private quest so keeps her distance.
Did she know about the armour in the first place?
Not for a while, and she only realised it was for Link when Mipha told her. She’s not one to go snooping around a princess’ room, after all.
Did Mipha start resenting her for her dislike of Link/ was Link's dislike of her a topic of argument between Mipha and link? 
There’s a little tension but I like to think if things got really serious between them before the Calamity (which it most likely did) Link and the Orca would try to make up, or at least be civil. Maybe they’d get into a bit of a brawl and then realise they shouldn’t fight… ✨ mipha’s happiness is more important ✨
Tho a brawl might be a bit OOC for this OC as she’s quite level headed. Although, orcas can be pretty vicious irl…
Does she begrudgingly respect Link for his cooking prowesses? 
She prefers most of her stuff raw, so she’s not that interested in it, but she does get jealous when he prepares stuff for mipha lol.
What's her favourite food and weapon? 
Anything with salmon in it! And favourite weapon…hmm. Probably a really jagged spear made of teeth that she took with her when she left the ocean. I think she’d use her wits and bare hands and teeth too. She’s not someone you would want to get into a fight with, and I doubt Link could beat her alone.
…Now I want her to have a villain arc. 
What's her relationship with Doraphan like? 
They’d probably be really close! He'd known her since she was young (maybe mid-teens?) and probably rescued her from the ocean or the jaws of a monster, so he’d think of her the same way he thinks of Link. That doesn’t mean he approves of everything she does, though, but he thinks she’d be a good leader.

I find your evaluation of Nancy's reporter skills fascinating. Because I tend to see them as flaws of immaturity rather than inherent character flaws.
Like, she did this impressive bit of undercover journalism when she was 16 and just assumed that was what her whole career would be. She's at most 17 for her summer internship, and has broken a bigger story than anyone else in the office. Of course she thinks that means she has nothing to learn from the men working there (and their sexism just reinforces the point for her). She does seem to have a knack for knowing when a story is worth looking into (possibly that's just for plot reasons), and she does seem to have some research skills. What she lacks is the people skills and those develop from practice.
I do think that if she studies journalism in college, and doesn't quit in frustration when it's not exactly what she was picturing at 16, she could end up good at it. She's just not there yet.
I really can't see her as a cop, though. A detective, sure, but I don't see her putting up with the bureaucracy and old boys club of law enforcement any better than she did at her internship. Maybe she starts there, but she'd swiftly quit in favor of being her own boss as a private detective.
(As far as her criticism of Steve's essay, I thought that had less to do with her writing skills and was more about her feelings towards Steve. She found their relationship meaningless and frustrating, and not worth the effort of fixing. So that was how she treated his essay.)
I think it makes sense to view them as flaws due to immaturity. My perspective comes as a writer and viewing it from a meta perspective. Because the Duffers never present these as flaws, we can assume they wouldn't write her to ever grow past them. Plus when you peak young, you tend to stay kind of stuck at the age at which you peaked, and as you've mentioned, she happened to break a very big story at 16 or 17, so I'm willing to bet she won't mature past that. It doesn't help that at that point she seems to view herself as incredibly mature, above her peers. So I don't really see her maturing past these flaws, not in canon at least. I wouldn't decry a fic about her learning from her mistakes as ooc or anything
Good point about the cop thing. It's obviously a very masculine field, and that wouldn't be good for her, but it is different than reporting field. I do think that Nancy holds a lot of the same traits that come with toxic masculinity [which is a lot of the reason I call the duffers feminism first wave] so I do think that it's possible she'd be able to present herself as "one of the guys," but it would take a little while to establish herself this way before she gets the respect she wants. Basically what she was trying to do at her internship just might be more affective in this field than reporting. But maybe not idk. I think it could go either way, and you're absolutely right about how she'd prefer to work for herself, so she probably would prefer PI
Interesting note about the essay, and I do think that was the point of that scene narratively, but she does genuinely not seem to understand where the parallel comes from. I think we can conclude that she wouldn't be a good writer, or at least she may be able to make a good and cohesive piece of writing, her ability to analyze a piece of text being so low might indicate that her writing style is incredibly bland. Maybe she's good at it, but nothing that would really hook a reader, which is exactly the skill she would need. To be fair though, we don't get much perspective on this, so I'm working on very little to make this conclusion. Maybe she just think Steve is dumb, so she finds herself subconsciously looking for ways to criticize it, even if they aren't worth criticizing

PERCY JACKSON AU where Nico has a younger/older brother that's son of demeter(he doesn't like demeter) that was stuck in a time house just like the lotus hotel but instead the years pass as days(also everything that happened in percy jackson verse like the titan war happened around 2018, the battle against Gaia was in 2019 and ToA was in 2020) (I don't know how to write so yeah it's probably going to be shit so don't expect me to make the characters on character)
Part 2
SPOILERS FOR TSATS
NICO'S POV
Well I gotta say that while I expected to not go to a quest for at least 2 weeks, me and Will ended up going to a quest to take a demigod to the camp, mostly because the satyr was begging us to go due to the place where the demigod was a house with at least two monsters that for some reason were made of plants and the most abnormal thing it was the satyr couldn't control them, so yeah we ended up going instead of the satyr even tho Will didn't want to go saying that the campers are starting to come back and he doesn't think they wouldn't get hurt before he comes back, so we have to decide whether we went to the house as a quest or we stayed in the end I managed to convince him saying that if things get too overwhelming we can go to the camp in a instant and that he also needed to train his new powers, and that's a summary of why we're in front of that old house with the cocoa puffs behind us(yeah I forgot to say that they kinda tagged along with us)
Soooo Nico should we enter that house or not, Will my little care bear said
I sigh to be honest I will want this to end as quickly as possible so yeah let's go now, he nodded and grabbed my hand so I grabbed it back and we went to that place
WILL'S POV
This was a bad idea I screamed, while a plant dragon was trying to eat us due to me using my plague powers against it and let's just say that it became a downhill the moment my powers affected the dragon and you may be wondering how's possible that we're from a dragon even tho the house should be small, it wasn't small the house in inside was huge as hell
Nico do you think I can win against that I screamed while running
Maybe if you receive help, maybe if I use my power I can weaken it after all I have killed grass when I was emotional so maybe I create deadly aura or something meanwhile you shoot a arrow made of light or a light beam who knows maybe you burn that plant-Nico said as he turned and gave a slash of darkness
And when the dragon impacted with the darkness it roared out of anger that's when I beamed a Ray making it dissappear in a big mountain of leafs
Wow that worked you're the best Nico-I said that while hugging him
Hahaha okay care bear we have to still in guard we don't know what danger could be ahead of us-while he said that the cocoa puffs where clinging on us
Aww look at our babies they want to see if we're alright, aww come here my little puffs I said
You know you don't have to treat them like babies right, I mean it would be easier for you to let them approach to you instead of you going to them
Ahem well first of all I promised myself that I would love everything related to you so I have to love you for your traumas and how you've been trying your best I said meanwhile Nico was blushing
Geez little night light you didn't have to say like that, but what can I say when it comes to the romantical sun he said making me blush
I am the romantical excuse me but you're literally the shining star that throws fire of love whenever you want-while I said that he started to laugh sigh he really is so cute then suddenly an arrow of light was stuck in the wood of the house
Okay care bear we'll be taking cover so we can think while he say that he took my hand and started to run cutting or blocking the arrows
There is a door we can take cover there - I screamed while pointing the door
It could be a trap but it's that or creating a barrier with bones
I am not gonna let you do that, you haven't recover after using that slash of darkness
Then we should go there
NICO'S POV
Sooooo Will do you think you can have a plan while we're stuck here I said that as the door was getting hit by whatever that was probably a monster with fighting knuckles
I don't know maybe I could use my light powers as a barrier or if the destiny allows let me gain a new power that can get us out of here aghhh I really don't know what to do
Well maybe you could try to make a barrier and don't worry we'll find a way out, I said that grabbing his hand
Nico-he said with his eyes that showed me his deepest trust then a flash happened and we fell in another place
What in the world just happened
I don't know Nico
Maybe you "shadow" traveled us to a safer place
You mean like light travel he said
That could work I guess
I mean that tell us that you can travel to other places by day???
Get off of me - a strange voice and we quickly stood up
Then the person run away from us before we could see their faces
That kid is the demigod that the satyr couldn't take to the camp, right? I asked
He probably is
That kid was the one to attack with the arrows, right? I said
I don't know but I could say he did
And by that you know they're an a apollo kid, right? I said
Haaaaaa let's finish this so we can get this kid in camp I said
Sure
WILL'S POV
So to summarize what happened we bursted in the room and we saw two demigods discussing whether who should kick us out of the house and they pretty much decided to not do it because it was too much effort and they have that entire dialogue while they were on a coach, so that's more or less how we ended up talking about how they should go to camp half blood
So that's why you little guys should come to with us to camp half blood I said
First of all, we should present each other not just discuss with everyone in this room - said the boy with blonde hair- and my name is lavender but you can call me laven
Whyy?? I asked
Who knows why my father named after a plant even tho he probably was the lover of the god of the sun
Yup that's apollo, your godly parent I said
I mean I kinda knew about it but thanks for confirming it he said
You knew about all this stuff already?
Yup
Okay I don't really care
NICO'S POV
And what about you??
Oh my name is Elio
Your name is Helio??
Is Elio not Helio which is funny because they kinda sound similar but you can call me Eli
Oh sorry about that but you know you kinda remind me of my big brother Elio who used to be with us but he suddenly wasn't with me or Bianca anymore
Oh you mean after Zeus tried to kill the two of you, destroyed our house and laven's house too and because you were taken so you guys could forget about what just happened and that hades cursed a girl for being the host of the spirit of Delphi
Yeah you could say I am your big brother but technically speaking I am your younger brother I guess that's something isn't it, Nico, he said
Oh gods and here I am thinking you die or something, because in the hotel you weren't there and that something must have happened it took us days literal DAYS to think that you maybe have died or dissappear, oh gods I really can't believe you're alive
Hey Nico try to breath okay?? Come here sit in the couch while I go to prepare something Elio Said
While he was getting out Will and his brother tried to comfort me and tell me to breath but I couldn't it was so incredible that he was alive after all these years, thinking of him being dead then the cocoa puffs suddenly were over me, I guess they tried to calm me down
But after a few minutes I started to breath more and calming down, then *BOOM* a explosion happened and another and the explosion kept repeating until Elio came in the room with a lot of chaos from his part
What happened to you the three of us said to him
Let's just say a monster tried to enter here and that I killed it and other monsters started to come by so I had to erase them, I mean to be honest must of the job was made by my dragon that somehow became a mountain of leafs
Yeah that was both me and Will I said
Well let's skip all of the problems and go to your camp and all of that stuff
Understood let me prepare so we can travel to camp I said
What do you mean we're going now and suddenly a lot of leafs surrendered us and *poof* we were on camp half-blood
What in the - will was about to say "fúck" but he was interrupted by the sounds of scream
Okay, I knew this would happen so I will get going come with puffs and so he disappeared in the distance
Ahem laven could you tell me how old are you so we can know if your close to 13 years old so you can be claimed by your godly parent and get into a cabin
I am the same as your brother, so I'm 12 years old he said
Sweet things should smooth out because you're going to be claimed by apollo supposing he doesn't have any problem
Then suddenly two symbols appeared on Laven and Eli, the apollo and demeter symbol
Welp now I'm claimed by parent I guess laven said
Maldita sea después de todos estos años decides hacer me caso al final, menuda hipócrita Elio said
Ummm should I tell the cabin of apollo the 7th one to let you sleep there so you don't you know sleep on the demeter cabin
It won't be necessary I will take the cabin of Hest-- and suddenly a light descended on the camp and that person was Lester I mean Apollo
Finally I managed to finish my work, now I would be able to get in the camp without needing to be watched over apolo said
Oh there you are Nico is been a lot of time since I saw you do you happen to know where is Will, so I can explain to him why I didn't visit the camp 6-7 in months and that was because I was writing a saga of book named the TRIALS OF APOLLO, Btw the name the was chosen by Artemis so things could go smoothly with my father, also how've you been my son Lavender?? I hope you were at least fine Apollo said
I - I'm fine I guess he said with a sad expression
My son, I will explain you everything you ask me that don't get too far of the boundaries after I explain my other son the situation, okay?
Okay, I will wait so I can ask you the amount of question I have, so go with my brother
I will be quick so meanwhile go to the cabin 7, so see you later my son
Bye he waved his hand

I'm thinking about maybe trying to write a Jdox fic but it's not my main fandom so I haven't read too much fanfiction about them. Do you have any tips on how to write them you'd be willing to share? I love writing and I love their characters I just want to make sure I'm writing them well.
1) DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT
I will say reading literally anything from RumCove, kipli, and RandomSlasher and Thuri on AO3 is like, chef's kiss both in terms of characterization and just overall amazing writing and storytelling. I am well aware that my Perry and JD can be a bit OOC when you simply just watch the show, but I've been neck-deep in JDox hell since 2015 and have had a lot of time to develop my own HCs and think about how they act and react to each other.
All that being said, here are some of my own personal opinions and what I would consider to be main character traits
Perry can be, and often is harsh, and can cross the line into cruel. Johnny C has said it in a lot of interviews, but where Kelso is seemingly all bad in the earlier seasons, it was important to differentiate Perry from him. So if Perry's a cup of dirt, there's still always going to be that scoop of sugar mixed in there. He cares deeply about his patients and his job and the people he loves, he's just not the greatest at expressing that and covers it up with sarcasm and jokes.
JD is not stupid or helpless. He may be naive and immature at times, but I've seen some fics treat him as though he's completely useless on his own. He becomes a fantastic doctor over the course of the show and never lacks compassion. Can that be his downfall occasionally? Absolutely, he may even care too much sometimes. But he's extremely smart, and while he is usually better as part of a group or team (I can't do this all on my own, no I know, I'm no Superman), that doesn't take away from what he brings to the table.
Obviously, it depends on what kind of fic you want to write, but especially with established JDox, JD isn't going to cry over every little jab Perry gets in. No, he's probably going to either roll his eyes and ignore Perry, or he's going to snark back. He can give as good as he gets and that definitely earns him brownie points with Perry.
This fandom is usually about a breath away from being fully dead at any given point, so when I tell you to write it, write it. Has the amnesia trope been done before? Hell yeah. Write it anyway. JD gets hurt and it makes Perry realize his feelings? Write it. They bicker and start hatefucking and it gradually turns into feelings? Write it. As long as you're not blatantly ripping off another fic, I don't care if the trope has been written a hundred times. Write the fic because no two writers are going to do it the same way. For instance, off the top of my head, the amnesia trope has been done at least 4 times on AO3: Amnesia by randomslasher and thuriweaver; My Coma by sweetrevelation; Teardrops and Rain by yours truly; and most recently, My New Perspective by RumCove. And each of those fics uses the trope differently (and if I had to guess, there's probably more out there somewhere, but I stick to AO3 lol).
As a final point, and potentially the most important, is that they have more in common than you'd originally think. They both are brilliant at what they do and they care so much that it can be their downfall. Look at My Lunch/My Fallen Idol. The loss of those patients hit Perry so hard that it was enough for him to completely fall apart and nearly throw in the towel. But JD was able to help him out of that because he understood all too well what Perry was feeling. Because he'd been there, too. When they love, they love hard. They're both a bit narcissistic. They know a LOT about each other just by virtue of working together for so long, probably more than they realize they do.
And okay, I'll say one more thing. JD tears up once in canon in the season 8 Sesame Street episode. Perry cries at least twice (3x14, 5x20, and maybe 5x21?). Do with that what you will.
Hopefully that's helpful to you in some capacity but also like. Follow your heart, believe in your dreams, etc 😂 Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help!

OOC | Valentina & Sonya
so i just want to start this off by saying that valentina does def love her little girl v much -- she's just absolutely miserable at showing it! valentina is utterly focused on being all that she can be, and she sees cassimir, being the boy, as her ticket to achieving this, but both are ultimately her children and both are of royal blood and she will NEVER let that be forgotten! of course, i def think theirs was some junior/cousin branch, hence why roderick spared them, but w the others extinguished, valentina isn't bringing that up! hahah
but anyway, i do see these two as having a complicated relationship bc, like, on one hand, i think valentina is maybe more ~honest w sonya than anyone else in her way??? but also she's deffff harder on her. i think valentina is v messed up by the sexism w which she was raised, and it causes her to project big time onto her children and, cassimir being the son, he gets to be perfect, and sonya being the daughter, she is the flawed one alas as a result, i think valentina views cassimir as like...herself if she'd had his advantages as way to deal w the fact that she gave birth to the one who supercedes herself, but sonya therefore must be repressed to make this make any sense as to why she, herself, had to be laksdjfjkldsf
anyway she desperately needs therapy, obv, but since she doesn't have any opportunity to have it, she's a terribly mom instead and frankly im so sorry in advance about her!!!! sonya deserves WAAAAAYYY better and honestly, tho she def spoils and pets her daughter, too, in some ways the stepdaughters are better off despite being literal servants to them all, bc at least she isn't their rue mother dskjfakldjf poor sonya
all this being said, tho, she def wants and expects the best for sonya as well and means tomake her an empress!!! of course, w the goal of making cassimir the next emperor, but sonya would still be respected and taken care of as the wife of the previous emperor! and she truly thinks this is what sonya deserves: to be treated like a literal queen! but also she expects nothing less from her and if sonya fails in this, she will feel the full brunt of her mother's disappointment and ughhh poor sonya!!!!

idk if theres something wrong with me but I feel the deep seated urge to just study the bat family and their weird ass family dynamics/relationships with eachother and like make a huge chart with notes then work my way out from there to their friends and then their friends friends until I know the entire web of complex interlocking relationships and how different people interact with each other and their histories with each other and shit. like I want to dissect the dc charaters and I know the only reason my ass is here in the first place is bc I hyperfixated on nightwing then got invested (sobbing shittung dying nightwing is my lil dude I put into a hydraulic press so unfortunately he would take up so much brain realistate💀) I wanna write silly goofy lil stories featuring him but I also want to do other characters justice and have full context of events and stuff I will throw up if im ooc and or just fucking wrong about something. like theyre so funky I wanna do right by their charaters but ive also gripped dick by the throat and started projecting onto his guilt ridden ass.(eldest child moment yippeee disappointmenting my parents makes me explode :( also hes funky like that lol) but like genuinely want to be able to take existing relationships and just like idk go into it? like explore them I guess and how they interact, what makes a character tick and all that. theres just something about charaters that are so fun to pull apart and find who they are at their core, what makes them this charater, you know? and I feel like part of discovering that is understanding the connections and history of a character in relation to the setting and other charaters, how they react, how they think and feel when put into situations, shit like that I could rotate in my head for hours. im also an emo lil shit and my brain tends to fixate on the darker events and happenings, which can be a hindrance at times 💀. and like im also just one lil dude my Interpretation of those relationships and charaters could be comepletely different form someone else's due to my experiences or lack of experiences with certain stuff. and like I wanna do it justice I dont wanna should dumb or completely miss the point because that would suck ass, Especially if I ever did post it online it would be like being dragged through the city tied to a Honda civic or smth. or at least thats probably how it would feel lol. damn fear of failure and ridicule we meet again you assholes....anyway, I wanna write silly goofy lil stories for my own enjoyment but I want them to be good and accurate to the characters, maybe add small little head canons as a treat but. Domestic type shit or me projecting onto dick my fucking adhd and making him explode too lmao.(im very insane about that head canon ive thought about it a lot, shout out to middle school me for doing all that research instead of sleeping or doing homework your a real one lol). that and using dick as a vehicle to explore my own queerness in a sense because like, its fun, and probably less dangerous than walking around downtown by myself. like I really enjoy giving dick a funky gender that he cant quite label or name that just is, and it doesn't matter because he’s just rocking around kicking ass, he just happens to not be cishet in my heart and mind. that and I wanna draw him in fun outfits, my friends agree he dress like a lesbian(lesbian approved statement). and like yeah I just think its neat to heasdcanon him as queer, Especially the funky genders because hes just doing his own thing bhfdjknvl. this turned into me rambling about making dick gender queer in some fashion not to say that cis dudes cant wear traditionally seen as feminine clothing or anything ya’ll because fuck the notion of gendered clothing, I just mean like imagine like very loud outfits, patterns colors weird shapes and sizes. that and cursed thrift store shirts that say some shit like “oat sealed frog jar” with a picture of Freddy Mercury sitting on a bench wrong. with the like insane fonts. I guess I wanna throw dick in fits that you typically would associate with the chill queer alt people who have cool drip. idk man. anyway sorry to y’all reading this it kinda got outta hand there.
