Obey Me Brothers w MC Who Uses Pet Names Without Thinking
Lucifer
If you have the balls to start calling this demon pet names from the get-go I bow to thee
A brave soldier you are
It irks him endlessly if you aren’t close
But once you are? It’s just habit.
Will do the same to you.
But if it’s over excessive (e.g. light of my life, reason of being);
“what do you want”
Ngl he does Love those ones though, strokes his ego Massively
Will Not let anyone else call him such names
Favourites are ye olde ones like dearest and my love
Mammon
Bb will be so flustered
He will do Anything and Everything to get you to call him something cute
He basically worships you
His primary love language is words of affirmation but thats for a different post
“baby can you pass me the controller?”
!!
Damn Right he’s your baby!!
Will occasionally call you cute nicknames, but you have to catch him when he’s feeling confident
But for the most part, you’re just his human, or some variation of your name
Gets upset when you use ‘his’ pet name on others.
He’s your baby okay >:(
Leviathan
Does Not Cope
Doesn’t think you’re talking to him, no matter how long he’s known you
He’ll never get used to it okay
And he would Die before he called you anything
But that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t adore it when you call him pet names
Call him beautiful. I dare you.
Watch the colour drain from his face and then watch it come back in a bright red 0.002 seconds later
I wouldn’t be surprised if he actually fainted the first time tbh
Also gets upset when you use ‘his’ pet name on someone else
But instead of getting grumpy like Mammon, he’s just sad
Pls reassure him :(
Satan
Catches him off guard
But he thinks it’s cute
He doesn’t necessarily understand it, but he finds it endearing
Will match your energy
“Excuse me honey”
But Will Not let it escalate to Anything vaguely romantic until he gets verbal consent
King behaviour 💕
You called him an angel once, as an offhanded thanks
He didn’t know whether to glare or laugh
Asmodeus
FINALLY
Someone to match his energy!
Ngl he thinks that you’re flirting at first
But he’s fine when you explain that you’re not
He finds it kind of refreshing that y’all can call each other cute shit w/o accidentally falling in love
((I hc that he feels guilty whenever he rejects anyone that genuinely falls in love w him, instead of just infatuated))
Y’all use Every pet name under the sun
Darling, babe, wifey/hubby, lovely, you name it
Sometimes you get into competitions to see who can come up with the most disgustingly affectionate nicknames
Will ironically call you shnookums
He can’t stop now, send help
Beelzelbub
Ngl it confuses him
Like it’s nice and all, but what 😀
“Aww thanks Beel, you’re such a peach!”
What
What does that mean
Now he wants a peach
What do you mean there aren’t any in the house
Now you gotta go shopping with him
Doesn’t call you nicknames unless you explicitly ask him to, and then pick one out
Just,, doesn’t get it
Belphagor
why though
why call people nice things when you can simply be a nuisance
Doesn’t get it, but in the opposite way that Beel doesn’t get it
But he feels special when u call him a pet name
Strokes his ego, similar to another certain brother of his
Not that he’d ever admit it
“Hey bubba, how was your nap?”
Swoons
But he will never do the same
Alas, he is but a Bastard
Probably insults you in return (but lovingly)

We already know your take on how Soap acts when he’s drunk (lil horny bastard) but how do you think the rest of the guys act when they are drunk? Do you see silly scenarios occurring when they are all inebriated and acting a mess?
Here's a little something I wrote for Price! I picture him as a bit grumpy and sleepy but affectionate.
I think Ghost doesn't like to be drunk because he doesn't want to lose control of himself, so it's not often that you'll ever see him drunk. However I think he has a pretty high tolerance, so he can drink a lot. More often than not he babysits when the sergeants want to let loose. If he ever does have too much, I think he just slows down, and probably even mellows out. He'll laugh more easily, and things just seem to be softer around the edges. (I think that's another reason he avoids drinking; the numbness is too tempting to indulge. The last thing he wants to become is his father.)
Gaz, when drunk, is giggly and giddy and really fun to be around. He's always nice, even when sober, but he's drunk girl in a club bathroom levels of sweet when he's drunk. Like Ghost, though, I think he doesn't drink very often, but it's more about practicing discipline than it is retaining control. He's a sergeant in the SAS, he shouldn't do silly things like get shit-faced and dance all night. However, if you get him and Soap together, ALL sorts of shenanigans happen, because they're too close in age not to get into trouble together.

Hey I'm the person that came onto your blog when it was new and you were writing Collector fanfics. Sorry I completely disappeared from it. Hey, do you think you can do P03 x reader headcanons if you haven't already??
P03 x reader headcanons
Tbh i rlly want to fogor bout these Collector fanfictions i did
Tumblr media
P03 will always act like the P03 everyone knows, quiet, grumpy, and judging everything he sees and hears, oh but trust me, when it comes to you P03 is itching to have an interaction with you, anything! A conversation, holding hands or etc, P03 is dying to be able to interact with you, but is embarrassed to admit that he is "vulnerable", in his words. But this is all just at the beginning of your relationship, with time P03 will be less shy, still shy, but the results are visible.
But of course, if you're gentle with the old lil' P03 inexperienced with love, they will be able to relax into your touch. Pss, they hate to admit it, but they love laying their head in your lap.
Of course we can't forget about the cute nicknames it gives to you! "Idiot", "Loser", "Bastard", P03 has difficulties expressing affection, so trust me this is the best way P03 can show it. But of course, if you are uncomfortable with these nicknames, he will stop, and try to use something more affectionate.
While P03 cannot express love like most people do, with words or physical affection, they try to express their love in helping you, most of the time being tips and etc, but they like to show you that they actually like you and like to help you.
Another notable thing that P03 only does with you, is listening to you without interrupting, it does this almost all the time with the other scrybes, but not you! P03 listens carefully to you, it's even impressive how it pays attention. Sometimes, he even make notes, writing down the likes and dislikes that he noticed in your conversations, P03 wants to try to be a good partner, and doesn't want to see you regret staying with him.
Theres that type of moments between you and P03 where they try their best to hold your hand without you noticing, they get to the point of shaking from so much struggle, you find it cute, and when you finally grab their hands by yourself P03 almost jumps, but relieved anyway.
I don't know about you, but "Soft Bitch" by Rio Romeo is the biggest P03 x reader I listened.
There are times that P03 think how he was so harsh on you, calling you stupid, idiot, dumb and etc. He secretly blames himself for all that, he doesn't like to admit he thinks about it, but he wonders if you forgive him.
There are times when P03 scolds you for staying up too late, for not eating, or for just eating not so healthy things, it's not doing that because it doesn't like you, quite the contrary, it loves you! And all P03 wants to see is you well and healthy with lots of energy. P03 loves you.
P03 doesn't normally sleep with you, he'd like to, but he's afraid he'll make you uncomfortable, due to the fact that he's completely metal, y'know, pure hard stuff, so he'd rather you have a comfortable sleep than gossip about having back or neck pain.
Anyway, P03 is quite loyal, and always wants the best for you even if that means he have to scold you, I hate to use that term but the easier way to explain this is "tsundere".

heya birdies! here's a shorter hc piece! sorry i haven't posted much other than reblogging. it's hard to type well on my phone bc a keyboard on a computer helps the words flow better. once again, i lost an ask. will that ever not occur? probably not! anyway, here's another masterpiece of chaos for the outsiders! enjoy. (': - mae
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
How the Curtis Gang and Shepard Brothers Flirt Hc's:
Curly Shepard:
° He flirts by being mean to you because Curly's a little shit lmaoo! He's that guy that'll get under your skin so you talk to him. I'm pretty sure at first y'all couldn't stand each other.
° He tries to be smooth, but he's not the brainiest so the lines he practiced either sound corny or dirty ngl. He did get most of them from Tim or his gang members after all. Curly is a bit of a copycat in that sense, but he's original in some stupidity he pulls. He's actually incredibly funny, with a quirky sense of smoothness. 
° Deffo tried flirting with you by propping his foot on a stool, missed and face planted lmaoo. You never let him live it down, but it got him a date with you because he made you laugh a lot. So in the end, Curly's stupidity and clumsiness won! (I say that affectionately ofc! We Stan Curly Shepard on this blog.)
° He thinks flirting is also doing something that he knows is gonna get him into trouble right in front of you. Curly's a bit of a show off, isn't he? Nevermind, there's entertainment at all times in your budding relationship. Curly doesn't like to be serious too often, so you'll be in for lots of fun and trouble making!
Dallas Winston:
° Omfg is he a bastard! Flirting with Dallas is one wild ass ride. The president of the, "I Like You So I'm Gonna Be Mean to You Club". The bigger the reaction you give him, the better. And boy will he get it because he genuinely does have a whole arsenal of things. He'll get dirty real fast, though that's more at the start.
° He's very touchy and will sling his arm around your shoulders, a hand in your back pocket… He shows interest. Dallas is not shy!
° His eyes fall to your lips, filled with mischief and interest. An absolute tease when he leans in just a little closer, and when you're ready to kiss him, he turns away smoothly at the last second. All just to rile you up because he likes 'em feisty!
° Dirty jokes galore! He's got incredibly smooth as hell pickup lines too. When he wants to be, he can make a good impression.
Darry Curtis:
° Darry is surprisingly smooth when he wants to be. People are stunned because they don't see it coming as it's not on display often. His grumpiness disappears, replaced by a cheerful charm and smoothed features. Not an ounce of stress on his face. He's inclined to laugh more. He's still got the charm! Oh and his smile is to die for!
° He's old school and very gentlemanly. He wants to make a good impression even if you've been married for decades! Darry enjoys taking care of the one he's interested in. That'll never go away, so flirting can almost come in the form of checking up on you too. 
° Darry pulls out all of the romantic stops that he can. Expect lots of flowers and stuff - Soda had to help him arrange it all because he's so damn busy, but his intentions were definitely there. No one can deny that. He even gave Sodapop strict orders, otherwise he'd have beaten the tar outta him because Soda gets distracted easily. (Obviously that last bit isn't me being totally serious.)
° Lots of eye contact and smiling. He's got a beautiful smile - and yes, I know I mentioned that again. Darry shows interest through looking into your eyes, having a gentle arm around your shoulders and just being the gentleman that he is.
Johnny Cade:
° He's clumsy and it can be insanely challenging to pick up when he's flirting. However, he has more colour to his face than what's normal. He's a glowing tomato! 
° Johnny is genuinely interested and will say the most sincere compliments to you when he's worked up the courage to do so. I feel he would stammer a lot, but he means what he says. You can tell, and it makes you have an explosion of butterflies in your belly.
° Pda isn't his thing really. Touch in of itself can be challenging to experience, but he does try to hold your hand out in public. He always sticks by you the closest, so much so that you can practically feel his body heat. Don't take offense to this, he's way more affectionate when it's just you two. It's just that all these curious eyes on you both freaks him out.
° He goes out of his way to help you with things, even if he's not really good at it. It's his way of showing you he cares about you. Johnny wants to feel like he's worth something, and how he does this is by getting his hands a little dirty for you. It leads to a lot of wholesome or even funny moments. The more he does this without you protesting, the more comfortable he gets around you.
Ponyboy Curtis:
° He's clumsy too in his approach. He blushes sm but he tries to be flirty. He fails, but not without you giggling. He gets real mopey, but adores your sudden affection. Pony is just embarrassed.
° He's kind, helping you with any of your school work as he enjoys spending time with you. Gets all dreamy eyed when you're there, and you'll catch him daydreaming - even when you're talking. He just sorta gets lost, guys. Earth to Pony!
° Compliments you sincerely and smiles a lot more. Suggests that you guys go see a movie together. This is a huge step, because as we know, Ponyboy doesn't like watching movies with other people. However, he feels comfortable with you, knowing you won't intrude in his mental space by gratingly talking through said movie.
° Ponyboy shares things with you that he never shares with anyone like movies, books, sunsets, etc. If he's talking passionately about something to you then it's a good sign. He loves listening to your passions too. He can wrap his head around a lot of different topics all at once. All I can see now is Ponyboy just swooning over you silently with a whimsical sigh as you chat about your latest interest. Absolutely wholesome!
Sodapop Curtis:
° Sodapop flirts to the max with you! He makes it very obvious that he's into you whilst also remaining cool and smooth. He's got a knack for sweeping you off your feet, it feels like you're in a romance movie!
° Sometimes it can be challenging to see when he's interested or just flirting for the fun of it. The lines can be blurred because of how friendly he is. Yet do not let that deter you. When Sodapop is seriously interested, you can tell with the sparkle in those gorgeous, dreamy eyes of his.
° He gets your number with a smooth pick up line! He's also touchy since his love language is touch. Not inappropriately of course, but what you're comfortable with: Holding hands, his hand in your back pocket, an arm over your shoulder, etc. Sodapop is drawn to you like a fly is drawn to honey, but not obsessively. He knows the balance and picks up quickly what you are and aren't comfortable with.
° Asks you out or takes you to a party. His entire attention is on you. He wants to show people how much fun y'all are having. Sodapop is very direct, but he can also be coy. He likes a bit of a chase, but he carries himself with sweet gestures, yet flirtatious advances. He knows how to have you swooning over him in seconds.
Steve Randle:
° Oh boy, you're not prepared for Steve Randle. He's smooth asf and that wise cracking attitude either grates on your last nerves or makes you think he's slick enough to date. There's no in between, but whether you hate him or not at first, it doesn't matter, he somehow gets you to be fond of him soon.
° Soda is his wingman for sure, helping him feel better about himself. He gasses him up to you, which makes him feel less nervous about asking you out. He wants to make a good impression. Besides, Sodapop helps ease your nerves too! The bridge that causes you both to meet.
° Steve is more physical. He likes to have a hand on you at all times. He isn't shy at all, but he tows the line of respect very well. Only gets more dirty if you're into that kinda thing lmaoo.
° He's the type to wink at you and shit lol. It's actually not embarrassing or cheesy at all. Sometimes you'll look up from across the room at a party and he's half listening to Soda while he's getting your drinks. You catch him looking at you with those pretty blue eyes and he just winks in a way that makes your heart throb. You have to look away. It only makes him approach you, whispering, "Whatchu hidin' those pretty eyes from me for?" right into your ear as he hands you your drink.
Tim Shepard:
° He fights Dallas for the presidential spot of the "I Like You So I'm Gonna Be Mean to You Club" lmaoo. However he has a lot of charm. His handsomeness also helps. He's a ladies man after all! Tim is swooned after by many women, but he's got his eyes set on you.
° Once again, physical touch and flirty comments galore! It's the one time Tim is the most talkative. He is adventurous, pulling you in tow. He's eager on the inside, but smooth and mysterious on the outside. Everything you say and do he notices, he just might not make it apparent.
° Really observant so he knows quite quickly how to get you into his good graces. It's like a gift he has. He also is the type to tease you a little mercilessly when you've done something cute or whatever. He can't help it. Any excuse to get you even a little embarrassed without outright humiliating you gets a kick out of him. He enjoys it when you smack him playfully on the arm when he's made a dirty joke, because you're relaxed.
° Tim is the type to walk or drive you home. It's sort of sweet, but he just says he's going in that direction anyway lol. He usually isn't. He's a protective boyfriend, and wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he let you run off on your own and you got jumped. He's adamant about it too, and when he can't, he gets someone he trusts from his gang to walk you home.
Two-bit Matthews:
° Two does what he does best, which is to make you laugh. He loves to see and hear you smile and laugh. Bonus points if you're crying and wheezing! He enjoys someone that can have easy banter with. So the more that you poke fun back at him, the more he's gonna be into you.
° He's such a dork with his cheesy pickup lines. He has no shame, people! Two has the corniest jokes and lines, they make you roll your eyes and shake your head. He's so much fun to be around, because one moment you could be talking, the next you're swing dancing like no tomorrow! Absolute chaotic spontaneity.
° Puts up the charm, loving how you keep up with him. He's witty and likes witty people too! Two enjoys your sense of humour - even if it's a little quirky. He can do quirky without any trouble, just be warned he's got a dirty mouth, especially when drunk. So dirty jokes are definitely on the menu.
° Physically affectionate to the point where he may not get that he's going a bit overboard. He's not out to make you uncomfortable, but being boozed up all the time and not taking things so seriously can get in the way. But nothing funny I promise. Besides, I think Two-bit just likes to be around you so much anyway.

Hi! Top 5 NPCs for ffxiv? :>
Joint 5: the bunny girlfriends - Debroye from the bread quest in EW and Lilja from Bozja in Shb :) Debroye is fighting the good fight for flavour and that hardly needs expanding on after the build up Archon Loaf had in the MSQ as worldbuilding for Sharlayan. Lilja is just a badass bimbo nerd who is good enough to work at the Ironworks but cool enough for shiny nail polish and sunglasses in a warzone. They're small characters who you only meet doing side content but they have strong personalities and they get to rep viera girls who are just kinda nerdy and weird. I am disproportionately affectionate to both of them.
4: Gerolt... I think I've just spent too much time doing relic weapons... He's just awful in a really funny way and I wish him all the best and do all I can to ensure he has a better lot in life, and then one expansion later he is once again in deep drinking debt but saying the realest shit while creating incredible artworks. Also he's sort of 1/3rd the parent of the aforementioned child Frog has so I guess I need to at least get child support in the form of the first free weapon of each quest. The AU version of him and Mowen in the relic crafting tools thing actually really moved me and I'm not ashamed to admit it :')
Anyway in terms of "this guy!!" he's so up there and I'm always thrilled to see what Scenario he's in now. Over the long course of the game he's made an impression...
3: Ameliance. I'm certain she's a mob boss controlling everything from the shadows.
But seriously, no. The twins really are favourites but in terms of Top NPCs I'd been wondering about her the whole time since they do make mentions of their family and writing to mother etc and expectations were high, and getting to know her was so utterly wild because the plot demands on her from all directions of her family - her husband, her father in law, her children, the servants she hires who include the hired goons Alisaie brought to the Coils of Bahamut... Like. She is a character who had to be retroactively constructed from everything that has been said in a way that Fourchenault didn't need to be because his template is clear: He's the Son of Louisoix and burdened with cursed knowledge and the weight of history from immediate family and long lineage of being related to founding fathers of his city; he's EASY to write. Now imagine up the woman who MARRIED him, and has stayed married to him. And is going to stay married to him since the twins dealing with divorce doesn't seem like a probable plotline given the emotional directions of the broader story. Okay, now let's imagine a real woman with actual desires and personality who can fit into this puzzle piece.
Fucking Ameliance.
How on earth they convinced me she's real is a feat of writing I am in awe of.
2: Urianger is so important, like. Leave me alone, Il Mheg got me good because ffxiv seems to get everyone eventually, and now I'm nonbinary and he's my nonbinary icon :') SIGH. A Process Has Occurred. I could say more but honestly, I think that sums up that he is important to me.
1: Erenville............. Listen, I own multiple David Attenborough merch people get me because they know it's an easy gift. I had been a kid who sat and poked rockpools and puddles and I put snails in a jar and and of course picked up frogs in the garden. You introduce a character whose job is Animals and especially claims to be an expert in frogs??? He would have been at least with the bunny girlfriends on this list if this was his only contribution to the story. (And I would have enjoyed my feud in peace.)
Instead he's a fascinating guy who stood up for his workers, has leves where he's commissioning presents for gleaners, happily goes against authority to be helpful from the jump.... And NOW we get more content where we get to see him being a grumpy snarky bastard who is the only rational person in Sharlayan AND apparently has been neglecting being the only rational person in Tural too so off we go to see that in action???
I'm marrying him I'm marrying him I'm marrying him...

Spinel has a PTSD panic attack
Randy kissed his cheek and giggled. “Al- Alright alright.. I w- won’t be all sm- smoozy with y- you… a- at least not for n- now.” He took one final sip of his coffee and placed the bits for all three cups down on the table before getting up. “W- Well, I figure w- we’ll have a couple hours t- to kill before listening i- in on the meeting. L- Let’s go back t- to your place and celebrate! I- I have a little s- something I’ve been w- wanting to give you!” He headed for the door, a light, confident bounce in his step.
"Uh, yes sir--" Spinel blurted timidly, then covered his mouth and froze a moment. He breathed, then shook it off and quickly followed after the ram, feeling disgusted with himself for that. Once outside he quickly forced himself back in to arrogance, tail flicking slightly. He still wasn't feeling all too well but feigned confidence and pride, forgetting the flower would be showing the immense discomfort that kept lingering and wrapping around all his thoughts. Even the good ones like feeling flattered started to trail back to Uncle Candy, and he was honestly just glad to be getting far away from that near lookalike for the time.
Randy blushed upon being called ‘sir,’ but pretended not to hear him. As they walked, he looked over at him, watching the flower’s colors share his true feelings. He looked curiously at Spinel, then back forward. “… wh- why are y- you feeling so e- embarrassed?” he asked, still looking forward with the phantom of a smile on his lips. “Ar- Aren’t you gl- glad I think you’re more th- than just a pretty f- face?” he chuckled and softly nudged him with his rump.
He glanced over with a flat and uninterested stare, head held high. "Of course I am but I don't see why you were so surprised at my 'genius'." He snorted and looked away a bit. "Seemed like the obvious thing to do." He shook a hoof off a little as he walked, "Ugh I touched him..."
He rolled his eyes and gave his neck a little lick. "Oh c- come on be n- nice. He is helping us.. Even if he doesn't know it." He smiled as they walk, stealing a few licks and kisses every now and then. He couldn't help being so affectionate, even thought the 'act' was over. He realized Spinel would probably get all grumpy at him eventually, so after on last shoulder kiss, he focused on walking instead of praising him silently with little affectionate gestures.
"Yeah well if he doesn't know, that just makes it more risky because he's a fucking idiot, Randy. An easily pushed around blabbermouth." The kisses and licks were a little flustering but they kept him able to continue feigning his confidence. But on the inside it felt like he was swimming in disgusting oatmeal smelling tar while he was gasping for whatever emotions he could to keep himself looking 'fine' otherwise.
Randy frowned a bit. "Hey.. Th- the poor guy doesn't know an- any better. I- If anything, he'd be j- just as horrified as a- any pony else who found out C- Candy was the s- sick bastard we kn- know him as." He looked at him with a hint of concern. The flower was now a raging storm of colors, most of which were colors that meant he was brooding about something. When they reached a street corner, he tried to wave a taxi down. As they waited, he looked at Spinel with a timid, worried look. ".. S- Something on y- your mind?"
"Oh don't start feeling sorry for him, he's what, in his 20s? And if he still doesn't know he's probably delivering drugs and fuck tokens to sick assholes who are using them on Celestia knows what then I hate to break your bubble, he's just a really big moron." He frowned, looking off. He felt a wave of sickness come over him suddenly but gulped it back, shuddering. And then he broke in to a pace at the question, snorting a few times through his nostrils. "I hate him. I hate him. I hate him more than any pony could ever understand. I fucking hate him. And I-" he made a dry heaving sound a moment, "I talked like him I-- I--"
Randy quickly trotted after him and circled around to stop him from going any further. "W- Woah woah e- easy..." He looked at Spinel, the concern on his face growing. "Th- That wasn't C- Candy you know... It was his brother. His naive br- brother who isn't purposefully t- trying to hurt any pony..." He gently put his hooves on Spinel's chest. "I kn- know that they m- must look similar... B- But they definitely aren't the same pony." He gently rubbed his chest and continued to stare at him with a worried look. "... L- Lets get a taxi and get y- you in a bath... Okay?"
"You don't know that...!" he said suddenly in a highly distressed voice, "I mean he has a fucking dog as a fiance so who the hell knows what things he's not saying...! For all we know that whole family could be secretly fucked up. We. Don't. Know." He wanted to start pacing again, but Randy was keeping him there so instead his two front legs continued to lift and fall. "Why couldn't it just be Candy? Why couldn't it just be that simple?!" He didn't know how to express why this was so distressing. The thought alone distressed him even further, because a moment he considered Sugar like a relative of his own only because he still felt-- He made another dry heave and began shaking, eyes losing clarity.
Randy watched him become reduced to a scared, anxious heap and he pulled him into a small hug. "H- Hey hey.. I- It's alright...."'he whispered. "... L- Look, now th- that S- Sugar's been bugged, we'll be able t- to find out if th- that's true.. If Sugar is m- messed up like his br- brother. B- But we c- can't let that worry us now. A- And even if h- he is.. It doesn't really m- matter does it? Wh- What matters is that we kick that b- bastard t- to the curb." He waved a taxi down, and helped Spinel inside. "L- Let's just... be pr- proud that we've scored an- another little victory over that stupid f- fucker whose fault th- this all really is.. Okay?" He softly rubbed his shoulder.
He nodded, keeping quiet as he sat down in the taxi. He leaned on Randy, eyes still not all there as one hoof snaked around blindly until it could find his hoof which was then squeezed tightly. Every passing moment he kept hearing more and more of that voice and laughter in his head, and as it grew in to a roaring hurricane in his mind it seemed to manifest suddenly in to something worse. He actually cried out, flinching badly as he quickly hid his face to Randy's neck.
Randy squeezed his hoof back softly, and gently nuzzles the top of his head. ".. Y- You're gonna b- be okay," he said in a soft voice. "I- I'm here, I- I'll protect y- you..." He softly shushed him, and continued to squeeze his hoof. "H- He won't hurt you a- again... N- Not as l- long as I'm h- here... Shhhh shh shh..." He pressed his lips to his forehead and reached around with his other hoof, pulling Spinel into a hug.
"He didn't-...." he choked out and trailed off, clinging on to the ram and not caring if they were in a taxi. Not until the taxi pony impatiently tried to check in with them to ask where they wanted to go, which was promptly greeted with a VERY angry Spinel who was yelling at the top of his voice at the driver, "Just shut the FUCK UP and drive your ass to Polished Dreams and MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS ASSHOLE!"
Randy softly pulled him back into the hug, and looked at the driver, afraid he'd kick them out. "Pl.. Please... Just drive o- okay? I'll d- double the f- fare if you c- can get us there in l- less than five...." He returned his attention on Spinel, and let go of his hoof so he could full on hug him, stroking his back and softly rocking him. A few bars at a time, he hummed their lullaby, still rubbing his back, and pressing his cheek to the side of his neck.
Spinel was trembling between rage and disgust. At first, the hugging didn't seem to help. It just made that horrible sick feeling worse and he could swear he was drowning helplessly in completely different arms at the time, but even still clinging. The humming was the only thing that made him realize this wasn't true, and he began to gulp in air and let it out heavily, slower and slower until his breathing was finally able to settle. He spoke weakly, "I... tried... I couldn't do it... I tried..."
He didn't know what Spinel meant by that, and he kept rocking him softly. ".. All th- that matters i- is that you tr- tried your best.." He softly kissed his forehead once, before keeping him in a tight embrace. The taxi pulled up in front of the store, and he softly loosened up the hug. "W- We're here," he whispered softly.
Spinel nodded, gulping heavily and breathing in deep one more time as he let his features melt in to indifference as he walked out. Of course inside he was still seething, but he didn't want other ponies seeing him like this. Thinking that, it surprised him, because he realized he had one exception where he once had none. He glanced at Randy for a long time before he started to walk to the side elevator.
Randy paid the taxi nearly triple instead of double, as an added tip. "Th- Thank you," he said as he followed Spinel to the elevator. Randy softly leaned on him as they waited, his hoof blindly searching for and grabbing hold of Spinel's hoof. He gave it a small squeeze, and stepped into the elevator with him when it arrived. He kept holding his hoof all the way to the suite floor, and even when they reached the door.
Spinel kept eerily silent and stoic the whole way, slowly walking to the suite and not even giving the guard so much as a glance as he let the two of them inside. The moment the door shut though, he collapsed to the floor and started hitting his free hoof on it over and over in anger and pain, biting back tears and making strained noises. He hated this. He completely hated this. He was being so weak and such a huge disappointment and all after he made such a big effort to do a good job. Randy taking care of him like this was so humiliating and even moreso because he was clinging to him for it.
Randy sat on the floor next to him, and softly rubbed his back with his free hoof. "... You d- did good today," he said softly, once Spinel had stopped hitting the floor. ".. Y- You should b- be proud." He let go of Spinel's hoof so he could wrap his foreleg around his shoulder. ".. I- I am... Pr- proud of y- you that is." He hugged Spinel from the side and stared at him. "... Y- You want me to g- go draw up a b- bath? ... M- Maybe order us some o- of that ch- chow mien too?" He asked with a soft, calming voice. "O- Or I c- can maybe dr- drop by the c- cake store Wh- while you take your b- bath... P- pick s- something up for y- you..."
"Bath..." he nodded, unable to get many words out. He took some heavy shaking breaths, "Not...not hungry... Don't go..." He managed to pull himself up so he could stand again, staring at the floor. He started laughing suddenly.
He got up also, and softly stroked his shoulder. "... I- I'll go get it st- started..." He said in a hushed voice, looking concerned about the sudden outburst of laughter. He went to the bathroom and began drawing water from the faucet, testing it and letting it run so it could get nice and warm before he plugged the tub. After that he stayed knelt by the tubside, just staring at the water and playing with it quietly.
He continued to laugh for a while, nodding again and again at Randy's voice. He had no control of himself. It was horrifying and suffocating and he just wanted things to be normal. He took off what he was wearing and tossed it on a couch, looking around at the suite that now looked strange to him. He let his eyes wander over every detail, re-familiarizing himself with it, reminding himself that all of this belonged to him. That he earned it. That he wasn't what he once had been, that he was far better than anything Candy could have made him. And on top of that, he was the one to tear down Osiris. He already won. This was just stomping out the last cinder. Easy. Easy. He finally found his comfort and went to the bath, taking the flower and putting it on the sink counter. He nuzzled his nose to Randy's mane and took in his scent a moment before stepping in to the tub and sitting. He stared at Randy timidly for a while in silence, then cracked a smile. "Grab me a bath bomb...?"
Randy nodded, a complacent look on his face. "Wh- Where are they?" he asked, his hoof still playing with the water. The laughter had really.. Offset him.
He pointed, "The gold basket behind you, just toss one in, any kind. Not the pink one though, that's uh... That kind that I use..." he cleared his throat and looked away a moment. He looked back, smile getting a little wider, but somehow more broken. "I'm going to be okay."

Longtail and Jayfeather
Oh man something is really coming together in my rewrite here; Longtail and Jayfeather’s bond
So, I showed in that family tree draft that Longtail is actually the older brother of Sandstorm now. That means he’s actually Jayfeather’s grand-uncle. They also have a lot in common; grumpy, warmer than they seem, always getting put into situations they didn’t ask for.
One of the things I like about PO3 is how they show Hollypaw and Jaypaw struggling to really find their places in their apprenticeships; but what I don’t like is that Jaypaw is ultimately shoved into the medcat den. I also don’t love that Longtail gets retired early; it just doesn’t feel like it fits him.
Longtail is a super enthusiastic mentor, and yet, he never actually got to finish training either apprentice. I think what I’d like to do with Longtail instead is that he did retire early; but it was a soft retirement. He’s basically been doing warrior tasks when he feels like it, going at his own pace, adapting to his disability on his own terms. So, when Jaypaw rolls around and the buzz about retiring him early comes up, he says, “Firestar you orange bastard (affectionate), unretire me right now.“
Mousefur: “You can’t just unretire yourself“
Longtail: “Yeah well I’ve done it“
Ultimately, Jaypaw is still going to choose the medicine cat den, but this time it’ll be because it’s what he wants. Not because he couldn’t be a warrior. When he does finally choose that, Longtail feels he’s properly trained an apprentice like he’s always wanted to. They remain close.
I’m not sure if he’ll retire again after that. It would be a good place for him to feel like he finally can relax, but at the same time, I would just enjoy having a blind warrior hanging out in the background of PO3 and OOTS.

Trying to think out my character a lil more, template from here. Just for fun, sfw alphabet for my grumpy snake man Amren below the cut.
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Pretty simple. He does not.
Well, at least not in a traditional way.
If you actually manage to get under Amren's skin he'll just kinda. Be in your proximity a lot. He might not even realize he's doing it himself, but if he likes you you're gonna spot him hanging around close by pretty often. It's some roundabout way for him to make sure you're safe. He doesn't know how to show affection so he's gonna need you to take the lead here he needs a hug jesus christ
Also, you're gonna smell like him. Don't ask how he does it. Sorry.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
It is extremely difficult to make friends with Amren, he actively tries to prevent it lmao. BUT if you manage somehow, he's the scary dog privilege friend. Honestly, most of the time you wont be able to tell if he wants to be there or not. He's still going to be a snarky bastard but at some point he's gonna figure out he actually likes your laugh - and experiment to find what brings it out. Is also the friend that will throw hands if you're in trouble no questions asked. He's subconsciously trying his best to make sure you feel safe with him around.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
If you actually somehow manage to get that close to him, congratulations. I hope you don't have plans because you're not going anywhere for a good while. Dw he's surprisingly comfortable when he coils around you.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Amren doesn't really think much about ''settling''. He's grown used to solitude, has made peace with that and he hasn't done anything to change plans. He's lonely though, so if he ever got over himself and succumbed to the horrendous ordeal of being known maybe he'd start thinking about it again.
He's a decent chef (when he actually bothers cooking) and keeps his place very clean.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
Depends on context. If you've been shit to him he's gonna drop you without mercy (unlikely you'll even be in a relationship with him at all then, though. He's got a sense for this sorta thing). If it's just a general growing apart thing or something akin to it, pretty quickly it's gonna be a structured conversation face to face. If it ain't working, it ain't working. No point drawing things out. He's an expert band-aid ripper. Most likely still gonna want you in his life as a friend though.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
So uh. He takes this VERY seriously. It takes a long time for him to figure out what he wants from another person (he doesn't know what to do lmao save him), and understand what they want from him. He isn't exactly scared of commitment itself, he values the other person's trust a lot and is extremely loyal - he's just scared they're gonna get hurt. He doesn't care about rings or ceremonies, to him they're just superficial arrangements that don't mean anything. He cares about words and actions.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Emotionally? You know when you go to open a locked door, right? And it doesn't budge, of course. Imagine Amren's the door. Now imagine that door that doesn't budge suddenly slams open outwards and knocks you back on the pavement the second you try the handle.
If he likes you, he'll go easy on you though. Might even try to be supportive. It's not gonna be very effective.
Physically? He knows he's a pretty big guy with some unique abilities. He usually stays far away from others because of that. Does that count as 'gentle'?
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
Go ahead. Hug him. I dare you.
Either extremely awkward or you'll feel like you're being crushed.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Amren has never said nor heard those words in his life. Ever.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
He's never really had anyone to get jealous over, but if he finds someone he actually likes pursues someone else he might get a liil green eyed. Just a smidge. And it's gonna piss him off tremendously when he figures out that that's what's happening to him.
The other person will be none the wiser, though. He will keep it under very tight wraps.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Again, he has no idea how to do the whole 'affection-thing', but once he's over that he'll try. A lil clumsy, he thinks too much. Get him to relax, and it's very soft bordering on careful, mindful of his teeth and forked tongue unless you like them :). He likes forehead kisses most, both giving and receiving them.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
He doesn't hate kids, but mostly tries to avoid them (not a fan of loud things) but if he has to deal with them he's firm, but gentle.
He does not want any of his own he's scared they're gonna be like him.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Depends how the night ended. Long night working security? Out hunting? He wont see the morning, and you wont see him unless you join him for a nap. Day off? Not a morning person. Slow, a grumpy kind of tired, taking his time enjoying things like coffee etc. Secretly a fan of the mundane soft things so expect him to just hover quietly a lot while you're just chilling making breakfast.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
If he trusts you, and you've shown you're comfortable with being close to him, he will take advantage of your body heat. He will wrap around you and you wont be able to stop him. He naturally runs cold, so bring a ton of blankets. You're gonna be stuck there.
If you haven't and you're staying the night, he's just gonna cover your basic needs and head to bed. You can take care of yourself, surely.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Remember the door? Yeah, that. It generally takes a loooong time for that door to open even a smidge. But once it does, he's gonna pull you inside and close it behind you.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
Zero patience. Amren has no time for bullshit and he's gonna make damn sure you know. Don't test him. He needs to keep himself in check.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
He's the kind of person who analyzes a lot, and he will remember pretty much everything you tell him - from your fav color to a funny story you wanted to share. He pays the most attention to your actions, though. He firmly believes they speak louder than words, and his opinion of you is mostly shaped by them.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
You made him genuinely laugh. That's not easy to do.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
This snake is on guard duty almost 24/7, and it multiplies whenever someone he cares about is around. He's very quiet about it though, so it's little difficult to pick up on.
Unless there's a active threat. It wont be there for long. He has no qualms getting his hands dirty if he can't get the perpetrator to back off with words alone.
Uncomfortable being the one who's being protected, though. It's a mix of hating feeling vulnerable and hating being the reason you're in harms way. He's a hypocrite like that.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
For the datey-stuff, sorry fam, you're gonna need to tell him if you like these things and want them to happen. Even then, he will just straight up ask you want you want and do his best to provide it. He's in no way a romantic or very creative when it comes to these things. He does very well in remembering important dates however, and makes sure to remember and complete everyday tasks.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
He retreats a lot and keeps up walls - even if you've gotten close to him and he trusts you. If he's in a mood about something he will not let you coax him out of it. If you try, he will pull away from you. In truth he doesn't really feel like he deserves the care, but he doesn't know how to express that. He knows he's troublesome and it's partially an 'I can fix him'-situation and he hates it. He doesn't want to put that on anyone.
Also his never ending habit of being a rude bastard carries over at the worst of times - your family might not like him much at first.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
He keeps up hygiene and does exercise because of his job, but that's mostly for health reasons. He's practical, wears stuff for temperature management more than style. Doesn't really care about 'looking good', and doesn't really get why others care. He knows how to be 'presentable' at work, but it's moreso to avoid attention lmao. You could walk around in the nude and he wouldn't bat an eye.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
Yep. And it frustrates him to no end that you have that effect on him.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
He will drop prey immediately if he sees/smells it has young offspring.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
Breaking promises, either to him or if he sees you do it to someone else.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
Torso tucked within the coils of his tail in a completely silent, warm and dark room. Sometimes mumbles in his sleep.

there was a post on here about Sairas friend being rich readers kid and Stone and Sarabi reuniting
i started thinking about rich readers kid and step Sarabi
when kid first meets Sarabi they're suspicious because who is this siren looking man (they're calling him pretty) and why is he sniffing around their loser(affectionate) dad? (rich reader was the first one to approach but kid chooses to ignore it). kid has seen people coming onto their dad for his money so they're staring at Sarabi all the time observing like 👀👀👀👀 👁️👄👁️👁️👄👁️👁️👄👁️ just to make sure he's genuine (rich readers kid is like a little dog snarling and barking at a huge dog) once kid knows that Sarabi is genuine they're like "wow.... new dad aquired". kiddo sits with grandma with the wedding binder, drops the f (father) bomb whenerver reffering to Sarabi and is @Sarabi like "you're the first person to actually want my loser(affectionate) dad for him now you gotta marry him. you gotta". kid is hyped for two dads (they're happy their loser(affectionate) dad finally has someone who loves him)
Sarabi respects the kid's apprehension of him and tries his best to make sure they know he doesn't have bad intentions. And he's also lowkey wanting to endear himself to the kid so if they have long hair, best believe he's trying to impress them with his knowledge of how to do simple three-strand braids, French braids, & Dutch braids.
He's a little awkward with kids (even if they are in their teens or older) because he has three moods: grumpy, smug bastard, & lovey-dovey (lovey-dovey is one only you get to see often). But he's trying his best. Tries not to curse in front of the kid.
Sarabi would genuinely tear up at being referred to as "Father", "Papa", or even "Baba" by your kid. Would melt right then and there and ask you if he can adopt your kid (like how step-parents adopt their spouse's kids, not like he's taking them from you. Just for clarification).
Speaking of marriage, man is trying his best to find an engament ring. But like with the way Kevin was using all of Sarabi's money before they were divorced, he's kinda broke even though now being a mercenary gives him a lot more money than the Marine Corps did. And every engagement ring he sees, he thinks you won't like it because what if you think it's too cheap?

Title: Rum (Ao3) Rating: Teen and Up Fandom: OFMD, Our Flag Means Death Pairing(s): Steddyhands Summary: “Is he typically this…” Stede motions vaguely with his free hand. He can’t find the words to express what he means, or, rather, the words don’t exactly fit because ‘affectionate’ is not a descriptor he would have used for Israel Hands under any other circumstance.
-
“Is he typically this…” Stede motions vaguely with his free hand. He can’t find the words to express what he means, or, rather, the words don’t exactly fit because ‘affectionate’ is not a descriptor he would have used for Israel Hands under any other circumstance.
“Oh, you have no idea,” Ed says with a laugh, “Wait until you try to get up.”
Stede pauses, momentarily considering that. He has no real urgent need to move, but he has a feeling that Ed is right. It would be fairly difficult to dislodge Izzy in his current state. Between the way he’s attached himself to Stede’s side—tucked firmly into place with his head nuzzling against Stede’s neck—, and the fact that Izzy’s fairly drunk… Well, Stede may just have to accept his fate.
“You have experience with these matters, I take it,” it’s not really a question, more an acknowledgement. He can already picture it, hard as it would have been before tonight. He’s certainly never imagined Izzy being the cuddly sort before, but now he can see it. Izzy pressed against Ed, doing his damnedest to try to burrow his way under Ed’s skin. (Really, it’s as if he can’t get close enough.)
“Since he was, oh, I don’t know, sixteen?” Ed snorts at the memory that must pop into his head. “He denies that he gets like this, but he always has. At least when rum is involved.”
“Sixteen,” Stede repeats, a bit of awe finding its way into his voice. He had known the two were together for a very, very long time, but it’s… Well, it’s difficult to imagine Izzy ever being sixteen. Part of Stede had been convinced that Izzy was simply born to the world, a fully formed, grumpy bastard of a man.
“Yeah, mate. Shoulda seen him. Used to keep his hair kinda long. Was real pretty, y’know, and he might be small, but, back then? He was smaller, and he was just limbs. No meat.”
Whatever part of Stede that had been convinced that Izzy had tuned them out—or even fallen asleep—is quickly corrected when Izzy flips Ed the bird.
“He’s a fucking liar,” Izzy mutters as he moves impossibly closer.
Ah, so his vocabulary hasn’t changed, at least.
“About what, Iz? You being a wee lad, or the fact that you were pretty?”
“Were?” Stede asks at the same time Izzy snaps, “Fuck off.” It’s precisely then that Izzy goes rigid against him, though he doesn’t pull away.
Ed snorts, “You’re right. No ‘were’ about it, huh?”
Stede feels the heat of Izzy’s cheeks against his neck, and he has to bite his lip to keep from reacting. He’s somewhere between a startled breath and a laugh, and he knows Izzy wouldn’t appreciate either.
“Twat,” Izzy grumbles.
Stede rubs at his arm with one hand. “He isn’t exactly wrong, darling,” the pet name slips out before he can think better of it, but there’s no knife to his throat. Then, he’s not sure Izzy’s coordinated enough to stab him right now. He might just do it later.
“Twats,” comes Izzy’s amended reply. It has Ed peeling with laughter, and Stede doing his best to do anything but.

how ab skz x moots as romance tropes?
OOOOH of course, a good one from the resident big brain
chan x @snow-pegasus roommates and drunken confession it is what it is. chan rarely drinks, preferring to watch over his friends and make sure they don't die in a bush. but tonight he did because snow has just been too much recently. taking care of him, physically affectionate, and their hangouts have felt like dates for some reason. he gets drunk as shit, comes home and confesses to snow, thinking it's someone else or whatever. happily ever after yippee
minho x @simpracha fighting turned confession. listen i gotta. it would be some simple thing, honestly more banter than a fight. but it turns into "your smile is annoyingly pretty" and "i like when you sing along to your stupid music in the shower". if anyone else is around they're like is this concerning or wholesome, do i need to intervene, help
changbin x @bunnypig18 doing this one last, can i say idiots to lovers a third time? i think hanahaki would destroy them fr. like quentin would get hanahaki and immediately changbin is concerned like ??? omg who is it, tell me so i can make them confess to you rn. and dear quentin is like :((( i can't. eventually it progresses enough and changbin crying gets it out of them. wee woo happy ending ofc ofc
hyunjin x @ferrethyun . idiots to lovers. it would be so painful to watch, i can see it now. and it would extra bad cause these long limbed clumsy lil ones would be causing all sorts of injuries and damage if they were ever in the same place
jisung x @my-favorite-bangchan someone tell me why i wanna say idiots to lovers again FBGJFK
felix x @brownieracha come on i HAVE to put these two together. too cute!! best friends to lovers, all the way. just adorably pining over each other and always doing things for each other. everyone looking in wants to be annoyed but it's really too cute for them to be mad for long
seungmin x @hobi-is-golden secretly dating. but not on purpose. they just don't end up doing a lot of pda cause they both see all their friends being little bastards about it and decide not to deal with it!
jeongin x @wonkiewolfie grumpy x sunshine. ik i paired everyone else with their biases, sorry honey. but i think this would be cute regardless! both a little more lowkey, but where jeongin is lowkey in the way that he insults his friends, wren is lowkey in the way that he just. vibes. happy to be here vibes

So this is for a BoB ship. <3 I haven't done any of these before so les go.
I'm short. Like short-short. Got that natural red hair vibin'. I'm loud with folk I'm close with and whenever I talk I can go from so many different accents at random. Hella bad memory 😭. I have blue eyes with bags under em. Half the times I'm like very quiet but other times you likely can't get me to shut up like at all. I'm either a ball of rage or someone who's a giggly bastard. I sleep in for hours and wake up still feeling like I want to die or smthn. Idk if this says anything but I have a knife scar on my left pointer finger cause I was dumb.
I don't know what else to say.
Tumblr media
I’m shipping you with Lewis Nixon.
- So the thing is, Nix’s first thoughts about you were that you share the same red hair as his best mate, the wonderful Dick Winters. Eventually he realises he’s always picking you out from a crowd because of it. He’ll see a group coming towards him and subconsciously lengthen his neck and stand on the edge of his toes just to catch a glimpse the your beautiful red hair, and often he’ll feel disappointed if he can’t find you but if he does, he’ll smile to himself m, contempt that you’re still around.
- The first time he properly talks to you he realises the stunning shade of blue that your eyes are, and he kinda freezes for a second, just staring into them. Once y’all get closer he tends to run his thumb along the bottom of them as he holds your face as a way of showing his affection.
- Lewis absolutely adores your height because it makes for the perfect was to kiss your head affectionately, which is something he does often. He will literally just be walking past you for a second but he will place a hand on your waist and kiss your head before heading off again, by the time you notices, he’s already off with the wind.
- One day he asks you bout the scar on your finger and you explain it to him. He gets this cheeky smirk on his face and shakes his head before saying something along the lines of “my baby’s an idiot”
- Of course Lewis is the intelligence officer yes? So naturally he should be pretty good at remembering things. And he is. So along with his own things to remember he also takes it upon himself to remember things for you also, such as where you left something or a timing for a meeting. You’ll always get frustrated with yourself for forgetting but he knows the exact face you make when you’re trying to remember so he’ll just be like “if it’s your cap, you left it upstairs on the table by the bed, next to the radio and you’re meeting your platoon at 1500 hours.” You just smile up at the man in adoration because it truly makes you feel seen to know he remembers these things bf or you.
- Nix has always been very good at feeling the vibes within a room, so when you’re clearly not up for much conversation he’ll do one of two things; 1. he’ll chatter away to you, filling you in in his day and everything that went on so you don’t have to feel the need to talk yourself, or 2. He’ll put down whatever the hell he’s doing and come and join you in comfortable silence, often involving cuddling up to you on the couch. On the days when you are feeling chatty, he’ll sit and listen, just watching by you with a smile as you blabber on, throwing in the occasional sarcastic comment to which he gets a cheeky glare from you. He generally just loves the way you talk, the things you say even when you’re rambling nonsense, the way your voice sounds especially when you’re switching accents which he’s thinks is bloody adorable. He could literally sit there for hours just listening to you talk, and quite often he does.
- When you’re angry, Nix decides its best to just let the fire cool down by itself. He’ll step back and let you have a go at someone or sit there angrily until you’ve felt it enough to calm down. He often catches glances from Dick, who stares at him with his brows raised as if asking him if he’s going to do anything about you being grumpy and he just shrugs and mumbles a comment along the lines of “they may be my monkey, but it ain’t my circus”
- Your giggles to Nix, however, are something he will definitely get involved with. He often sits in his office doing paper work and coordinating plans when he hears you giggling down the hallway, getting closer and closer by the second. His eyes are already on you as you enter the room, an amused smirk on his lips. You mutter something to him about a joke that Luz had just told you but you can barely get it out cause your laughing so much. Nix can’t help it but laugh to, and eventually you’ll both just be sitting their, stomachs aching from laughing at each other laughing.
- You and Nixon are one in the same when it comes to sleeping, perfect match of two people who just want to go to sleep and stay asleep. Both of you have a habit of feeding off each other’s sleepy energy, making it extremely hard for either of you to get out of bed, hence why it is often Dick who wakes you both, a few gentle nudges for you, and usually a pillow to the face for Nix. Nixon will often groan and bury his head under your arm or into your chest to protect himself from the pillow that Dick raises above his head again. This often sends you into giggles even though the sound is a little scary with clogged up morning voice. Nix gets out of bed only slightly earlier than you because of Dick’s ability to threaten him but not you, hence why he’ll usually let you sleep for an extra 10 minutes before waking you up by peppering your face with kisses, one of the only things that makes waking up feeling like crap bearable.

II @vxctorx
↕️Are they sub, dom or switch?:
//I definitely feel that Vic brings out the cheeky, switch side to Richard, which is why he’s not afraid to tease Vic. On the other hand, Richard is and always will be the biggest sub, no matter how switch-y he gets. Why do you think it’s so easy to manhandle him ahaha!//
🏷️Do they give their partners cute nicknames?:
//Definitely! Although Richard’s cute nicknames stem from trying to lovingly annoy and tease Vic, which is why his favourite nicknames to use around him are those like: M’Lord. Prince/Princess. Ye’ Wally. and Bastard (affectionately) 😌//
🛏What is their favorite bedroom activity to do with their partner?:
//This is going to sound so cheesy, but snuggling. It certainly helps that Vic is a lot taller than Richard, which means he often calls dibs on being the little spoon. (But, like I said, he also doesn’t mind switching 💛)//
💚Are they prone to jealousy?:
//Oho, absolutely! It’s not that he doesn’t trust Vic. It’s more because Richard can be very insecure, as a person. I also think it doesn’t help that he and Vic have to hide their relationship from the rest of society, so often if Richard finds somebody else (usually an attractive woman) outwardly flirting with Vic, or if he hears about his father trying to set Vic up with somebody supposedly ‘out of Richard’s league’ he’s bound to become quiet and sulky. As far as he’s concerned, why would Vic stick with somebody like him when he can have the cream of the crop?//
😘Does their demeanor change when in a relationship? :
//I feel as though when Richard is with Vic he finally opens up and becomes more gregarious. The lawful, grumpy side that he often shows, because of his job, sheds away and he feels like he’s freer to be a lot cheekier and all-in-all more open.//
👫Do they display affection in public? What about in private?:
//While Richard loves giving Vic physical affection, I feel as though he’s extra careful in public. He’ll probably find a way to tease Vic with small, cheeky touches or something here and there, but generally, in public, he’s quit conscious about what others will say. In private, however? Oof! That’s another story. He’s completely open when it comes to showing any and ALL types of affection.//
💕Are they open to threesomes or a polyamorous relationship?:
//While Richard will not judge if somebody is open to that, call him an old soul. As far as he’s concerned, he’s more comfortable when it comes to loving one person, and with all his heart, at a time.//
📺 Do they share information about their relationships freely with friends and family?:
//Definitely not! Again, because of the society they live in, Richard is very hush-hush about his relationship with Vic, and how he feels about him. Most often if somebody asks about them Richard will try to play it cool and lie and say he and Vic are just ‘good friends’. Of course, Richard isn’t the best liar in the world, but that’s a story for another time ahaha!//

CHARACTER BINGO!!! Gimme your thoughts and feelings on Juza, Chikage and Sakyo! ^^/
Oh... Oh boy... Okay here we go
Tumblr media
Like a brother to me wanna take him out for sweets and also to therapy. I just want nice things for him he's such a good boy and he's struggling so hard. I also get that he's got something to prove to himself as much as too the people around him like I feel that. Plus okay purple and gold color palette??? Letrerman jacket?? Soft baby smile when his guard is down? Peak character design baby! In other news I was gonna put the dynamic one down because he's got so. Many interesting groupings (his role as Aki's guiding light, how he fits in within the Hudosakisaka family, o-high shenanigans, his whole deal with Tenma, HIS WHOLE DEAL WITH BANRI). But ultimately he's so interesting on his own it felt unfair to mark that one.

Look the man thought KIDNAPPED THE MC was a valid expression of grief. Bastard cabbage energy. Horrible person (affectionate), if he were real id marry him (derogatory). Chikagr is fascinating to me because his introduction is where A3!'s plot really begins to go off the rails, but it's somehow still believable??? Like don't get me wrong this man is unhinged but he loves his family so much???? And once he realizes there's people he can count on he channels all that energy into keeping them safe and happy and I can vibe with that. But also please put him under a microscope for my personal entertainment.

Ahh our resident old man jfc.. I know this doesn't look like a lot on the card but honestly most my thoughts towards him don't really fit neatly into these categories. I LOVE how he started as an antagonist and genuinely threatening one in the first half of act one, and how he didn't lose that edge after joining the Mankai troupe. Like everything that made him formidable is still there, but now you get to see him be soft and dorky and find a proper channel for his regrets 🥺
I will say that while I like him on his own I like him SO much better when playing off other characters, especially since he personally knew the OG Mankai members. Of course there's his relationship to Sakoda, Azami, and the Ginsenkai group, but he also wears the hat of semi-reluctant troupe dad, and his whole deal with Izumi is so funny it's almost painful. But I think my favorite dynamic is hearing Yuzo and the other old troupe members call this grumpy 30 year old team dad with the heart of an octogenarian "kid" 🤣.
Despite all this I really admire Sakyo's role in supporting Izumi in her goal, even when he had to be the bad guy in the scenario. He's also very interesting to me because he embodies a very clear distinction between regretting your past and being ashamed of it, which is a journey he himself is on through the course of the game.
