Tumblr media
“utterly ridiculous.” dr ratio replied mockingly, an eyebrow raised as his taller form towered over yours, his gaze on you was firm and serious, like he was trying to scare you away. “do you see what i’m seeing?” he raised up one of your marked worksheets you handed in the other day, in pure honesty . . it wasn’t even your fault! you wanted to curse at him for not even bothering to give you and your fellow students more time to study, it was his fault in the first place for making you all stress! that’s what you wanted to say, but he would’ve had your head for that.
“ . . . yes prof.” you muttered with a small nod.
“tell me what you see then.”
you glanced up at him, your eyes slowly trailing from him to the paper he held . . failed?! again?? gosh . . you knew this would happen either way, you wanted to scream, clench your fists and beg for another retake but knowing the type of professor dr ratio was, you knew you weren’t getting any of that, no . . not anytime soon.
“ . . i didn’t do that good.”
“—didn’t do that good is an understatement, you did terrible. your idiocy is all i see written on this fail-worthy of a sheet, your work habits in class are worse than those other idiots i teach.” the professor sighed and steepled his fingers, leaning forward. “why are you falling off in my classes? are you afraid of asking me for help, is that it?” his eyes narrowed with a condensing glare, the tension in the room grew heavier.
yeah well . . if i ask you for help, you’d insult me and get annoyed anyways, was what you wanted to say. i mean, you weren’t wrong . . you were certain dr ratio had some sort of short temper or something, no matter what he says or what you do, he is the last person you’d ask for help. “someone with major idiocy like you should be grateful i’m taking time out of my day to speak to you about your dismissive performance, you know how much people would kill to have my attention right now?" dr ratio’s voice took on a harsher tone as he watched you react to his words. “even your classmates are so much more adept, why are you even in my class?"
your body jolted at his words, no matter how tough you tried to act you were secretly trying your absolute best to hold back the tears that threatened to leave your eyes, it was hard to take in his words . . it’s hard enough to not be his top student!
dr ratio’s eyes widened slightly seeing how your body jolted at his words, he took a quick breath and thought about how he would address the situation with you with a more gentler approach. "please, humor me." he took a deep breath, trying to be patient and understanding with you. he was already noticing a slight difference in your behaviour. "i’ve spent nearly a decade teaching in this institute," he continued in a slow yet low tone, “i promise you, i know what I'm talking about. how about i help you right here right now and let’s see where to go from there, got it? tell me what you don’t understand and what you do understand.”
“ . . alright.”
— ♡ —
. . it seems you both had a different idea of “helping”. you hated yourself for enjoying it, he was your professor for heaven’s sake! now you were on your knees, your mouth wrapped around his wet cock as soft grunts left his lips. you couldn’t lie . . he looked absolutely stunning from this angle, the way he threw his head back when you swirled your tongue around the slit of his dick. dr ratio groaned, his voice deep and husky as he leaned closer to see how well you were sucking him off. " . . . u-ugh . . fuck, this mouth of yours needs to be punished . . considering how many times you talked back to me in under an hour.”
before you could pull away from his cock on your own, dr ratio’s free hand slipped downwards, grasping firmly at your head, tugging it upwards. you were roughly pulled away with a gasp, you were almost out of breath as your professor pulled you closer against his chest. “a slut like you needs to learn how to be fucked properly. maybe that’s how i can help you, fuck the information in you.”
he leaned down, his lips brushing against your neck before trailing upward, his tongue tracing along your jawline and then claiming your lips forcefully. his hands moved downwards, his cock throbbing even harder in his pants. he stepped closer, reaching out to fondle one of your breasts, squeezing it softly before running his thumb over your hardened nipple . . massaging them firmly as your tongues tangled together, your moans muffled by his mouth. dr ratio’s eyes widened in awe as he pulled away from your lips, a line of saliva connected your lips and his as he admired the sight of your breasts, now fully exposed for him to feast his eyes upon. he bit his bottom lip, unable to tear his gaze away from them as they were truly a sight to behold, heavy and perky, nipples erect and begging for attention. “tell me, [name],” he licked his lips, reaching down to flick his tongue against one of your nipples.
"why can't you be as skillful as the others? do you not have the intellectual capacity?" he smirked against your nipples, watching you intently as he waited for your response. “you’re nothing but an idiot, are you not? can’t even pass any of my damn classes.” he stepped closer to you, placing one hand on your shoulder, gently pushing you towards his desk. "undress yourself slowly," he commanded, his voice husky with desire.
“ . . prof, we can’t do this . . i’m your student, you’re my professor, you’re seriously overdoing this—“
“do you want to fail my class completely or not, princess?” dr ratio muttered, raising a brow. “do you even understand the situation in front of you? you’re a failing student and should be begging me for help.“ he grabbed you by your thighs, roughly slamming you on top of his desk. “you know what you should be doing? you should be on your fucking knees, groveling for me to give you a second of my attention. instead, you're refusing to let me help get your grade up. besides . .” he leaned in closer against your ear, bringing his voice down to a whisper . . “i know that a dirty slut like you is enjoying this as much as i am.” he raised his hand, slapping your cunt that was clothed by your pink panties as hard as he could. “show me this pussy or it’s an automatic zero.”
your eyes flashed with shock and a hint of pleasure, dr ratio’s voice seething with contempt as it sent shivers down your spine . . it was obvious he wasn't going to let this go easily. you gave in . . wrapping your arms around his neck, “ . . prof . .” your face flushed red, nuzzling against his neck. “can’t . . ‘s embarrassing—“
“veritas.”
“ . . pardon?”
“call me veritas, moan it while i fuck you.”
your professor’s heart skipped a beat at his own boldness, his hand slipped down towards your lower region, grasping firmly at the hem of your skirt and tugging it upwards, revealing your lacy black underwear underneath. with one swift motion, he ripped them apart, exposing your wet glistening pussy to his hungry eyes. "sit on the edge of the desk," he ordered, his voice low and commanding. "spread your legs wide and let me see that pretty cunt.”
you bit your lip, gazing up at him with those sweet eyes of yours as you were hesitant to even do anything under those hungry eyes of his own, “ . . do i have to? that’s . . that’s too embarrassing.”
“do you want to completely fail my class or not?”
wincing at his words, you slowly obeyed his demands . . spreading your legs with a sense of embarrassment and shame as he humiliated you completely, it was like . . he wasn’t even aware he was humiliating you! spreading your legs in front of your own damn professor? you didn’t even know what was going on in your mind at this rate! but yet . . your pussy pulsed around nothing, you craved for this and you hated that the most. the dark haired male reached down, unfastening his own pants and boxers in one swift motion, revealing his massive cock, veined and thick, dripping with precum . . it stood tall and proud, ready to claim whatever it desired, you weren’t even sure if it could fit.
"turn around," he ordered, keeping his tone low and seductive. "show me your ass." you obeyed, slowly hopping off the desk as you bent over . . your ass in his full view. your body flinched, eyes wide as he gave your cheeks one mean yet harsh slap. “try and guess how many times you nearly failed my class.” his hardened member brushed against your entrance teasingly, he couldn't resist anymore. with one swift motion, he positioned himself between your spread legs, aligning his cockhead with your tight hole from behind. “go.”
he pushed slowly, his head sliding past your tight ring of muscles, eliciting a soft moan from you as your eyes rolled back . . your pussy spasming around his thick cock almost instantly . . it was like it belonged there. “p—prof . .”
“ah ah.” he shoved his fingers inside your mouth, pressing the pad of his fingertips against your tongue. “what’s my name, slut? tell me. what did i say.” dr ratio pushed forward, stretching your hole even wider than before . . filling you up inch by agonizing inch. you couldn’t lie, each thrust of his felt like heaven, as if you and him were finally becoming one.
“v—veritas . .”
“good fuckin’ girl.” once fully buried to the hilt, he paused, taking a moment to savour this forbidden moment. his hands gripped your waist tightly, holding you steady as he began to move rhythmically in and out of your wet cunt, hitting your g-spot with a sense of urgency and desperation each powerful thrust. “guess how many times you almost failed my class, come on . . speak up, or are you giving up already?”
“ngh . . three?”
“wrong.” SLAP!
he ran his hand down the fat of your ass, slapping it loudly as you could feel the sound reverberating through the entire room . . your tongue lolling out your lips as another slap came down, even harder than the first. “keep guessing.”
“ah!— u-uhm . . five?” you moaned at the mere feeling of him picking up the pace, his hips rocking in sync with his thrusts. his cock throbbed harder inside your tight channel, stretching and massaging your insides in a way that drove you both wild with pleasure, it’s like . . he was trying to fuck you dumb, fuck you till you couldn’t think. “wrong again.” his voice ran through your ears, moans and gasps filled the room yet muffled by each loud thrust. sweat trickled down your professor’s back as he increased his rhythm, pounding into your hole faster and harder, building towards climax until the tip of his cock slammed against your deepest areas.
his hands roamed freely over your body, cupping your breasts roughly, pinching and tweaking at your nipples until they stood erect and hardened once more. dr ratio bit down on the flesh of your neck, leaving a mark that would serve as a reminder of this moment later on. "see how good i’m fucking this pussy?” he growled, his voice hoarse with desire. “come on, keep going . . stay focused.” he was lost in the feeling of your cunt, pounding into you like it was his last as his thrusts become even stronger as he reached his peak again. dr ratio groaned loudly, his cock throbbing violently inside you as a huge glob of cum shot out, yet his thrusts never yielding.
“mmh . . ah! veritas . . please!” his hands roamed over your body, trailing along your arms and shoulders, stopping at your pretty breasts once more. "fuck, this is the best pussy i’ve ever fucked.” he panted, pulling on one nipple, then the other in turn. "so fucking perfect." your moans and gasps became louder, filling the room with a symphony of pleasure. your bodies moved together in sync, hips rocking in harmony with his thrusts.
SLAP! “come on, baby.”
“s—six . . seven?! fuck . . ah!” piles and piles of paper fell off his desk when you were pushed forward, back arched with your eyes rolled back. “veritas . . i think this is enough . . someone’s gonna hear—“
veritas chuckled mockingly, his eyes glowing with malice as he grabbed hold of your chin firmly, tilting her head back in submission. his lips crashed forcefully against your own, tongue thrusting into your mouth roughly, claiming ownership over your body. "oh, i think you and i both know this is far from enough," he growled between kisses, his hands roaming freely over your lithe figure. "you know damn fucking well . . you don’t want me to fail you, right? so, accept it. your body’s damn made for this, princess . . see how well your body is responding to my cock? c’mon. look at me directly and tell me straight up you don’t enjoy this.”
drawing out soft whimpers from your throat, your professor continued his dirty work on your sensitive spots until you squirmed helplessly beneath him, unable to resist any longer . . your voice stuck between your throat as you couldn’t even find the right words to retort, accepting the way he took you against the desk, his rough thrusts forcing you to push your body against the cold surface as a puddle of cum formed on the floor from your professor’s previous orgasm, so fucking messy . .
“my point taken.” he savoured the feeling of being deep inside your warm, wet hole . . he knew he was gonna have dreams of this pretty cunt of yours, each time he pulled back, a low growl escaped his throat as your bodies slapped together, creating sounds of lustful pleasure. veritas’ hands gripped your hips tightly, holding you steady while his cock continued its relentless exploration of your gummy walls. in sync with each thrust his hips rocked against yours as well, grinding his pelvis and your ass together, the sensation was unlike anything either of them had ever experienced before . . raw, primal, and addictive. you couldn't think but respond to him with your body, your moans becoming more pronounced and needy.
“listen to me,” dr ratio gave your ass another mild smack. “you’re gonna take this dick while you tell me exactly what you’re having trouble with in class, understand? ‘gonna fuck everything through your head just like i said . . afterall . .”
“you can’t afford to fail, can you?”

hiii !
So I had this request : 2008!bill kaulitz x singer!reader (the reader is like reallyyyy famous). Could you make a story abt their most iconic scandal please ? (I know my request doesn't have many details and isn't very clear but I have too many ideas, ily 💋)
Bill Kaulitz 🎤
Stalker
Tumblr media
Ok so i didn’t understand this request too much but i had such an amazing person help me so 🤭 here it is 😜! @nyxwritesshit (the amazing helper!!)
For a few weeks you’ve been getting weird things getting sent to you, it had started when you went to collect your fan mail and as you were going through the stack you found a special letter that caught your eye.
You were a bit weirded out by it since the letter showed old pictures of you or just unflattering pictures of you. It would also consist of a piece of paper in the letter explaining in deep detail of all the terrible things that would be done to you, and saying things about bill. Obviously most fans werent happy about your relationship but you didnt care, you were happy with him. But the letters obviously scared you a bit, so you called your boyfriend and asked him if he wouldn’t mind staying over.
He didnt. So when he went over to your place he asked if everything was alright, as a good bf does, you showed him the letter with the pictures and the writing.
“Oh my god.. i dont even have those pictures of you!” He said, trying to lighten up the mood. You laughed and hit his shoulder, “im serious! This really freaks me out!” You said, sighing.
“I know, if you want ill stay over and be with you as much as i can.” He said putting the letter down and giving you a hug.
You hugged him back and smiled at him, “thank you.” You said, looking up at him. He leaned down and gave you a quick peck on your lips.
“You’re welcome pretty girl.” He said, smiling back at you.
It was now a couple days since you had told bill about the letter and hes been with you every second of every day, trying to make you feel safe.
You were grateful, of course, but the letters didnt stop. You were scared to go out but bill assured you that everything would be fine, and that he would be with you the entire time.
You smiled and nodded, “thank you my love, i appreciate you so much!” You said, giving him a big hug.
He smiled and hugged you back, “anything for you mein schatz.” He says giving you a small peck on your cheek.
“Alright lets go yeah?” he said, holding your hand as you walked out of your apartment building. Bills bodyguards behind you, causing you to relax a bit more, knowing you were safe.
Usually youd have fans surround your building so you were used to it but as you were walking you noticed someone jump at you, screaming your name.
You turned to look at them and saw them approaching you, with a scary look on their face.
They grabbed your free arm and pulled you, making you scream out as they dug their nails into your skin, “THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR STEALING MY BOYFRIEND!” They said, punching you. You punched them back and pushed them off of you.
Before you knew it, you saw bill jumping onto the person, catching them off guard, making them land onto the floor.
Bill pinning them down as the body guards pulled bill off them, then grabbing the person.
Your jaw dropped, not expecting any of this to happen. “Oh my god, bill are you okay?” You said immediately running to him and making sure he wasnt hurt.
“Im fine, are you?” He said with a worried look on his face, “im fine, you didnt have to do that for me..” you said placing your hand on his cheek, “Of course i did, i wasnt going to let them hurt you.” He said frowning.
“Its all over, lets call the police and get this over with.” You said hugging him. “Yeah..” he said.
After the police got there and took the person away you went back with bill, thanking him non stop, which he just laughed at and said your welcome.
“Wow, i really need to get some bodyguards.” You said, letting out a small laugh, “yeah you do.” He said, also letting out a chuckle.
You smiled and hugged him, “you’re my hero, you know that?” You said, wrapping your arms around his neck.
He laughed and nodded, “just had to protect my beautiful girlfriend.” He said, smiling. You smiled back and leaned in, placing a small kiss on his lips.
“Ill forever be grateful for you meine liebe.” You said, giving him another soft kiss on the lips. He smirked and picked you up spinning you around, licking his teeth (how he does it in the gif!!) placing his lips onto yours.
Later on you found out the news got ahold of the situation, making it a big deal, and totally taking it out of context, but they usually did that, and you knew for future interviews they would ask what really happened so you knew you could speak out about it and explain what REALLY happened. But right now you were comfortable, cuddling with your bf, his head on your chest and you couldnt wish for anything better.
HEYY SO I HOPED MY POOKIES LIKED THIS, IDK THID REQUEST WAS A BIT CONFUSING BUT I TRIED MY BEST 💗💗 I HOPE U GUYS ENJOYED THIS ILY ALL SM 🤭🫶🏼

Hellooo, this is a Tokyo Rev ask and I was really interested in the Mikey post u made abt him as a bf realistically since canonically he’s one of the top worst. So i was wondering, what do you think of Keisuke Baji taking number 1 place as best lover? 👀
Hello! Baji is an angel despite his wild personality. I see him as a watchdog, like in that panel in the last timeline when Takemichi meets Mikey and acts like a puppy. He's not interested in a relationship right now, but that doesn't mean he's immune to falling in love or anything.
After doing this, he probably be that guy who stands silently next to his crush in class while blushing, but his scary face makes your subconscious ignore that he's turning red as a tomato. He will probably try 10 times harder to be a good student to impress his crush.
He gets upset with himself when you find out he's in a gang, he thinks it will push you away (it would push me away, but it depends on the person).
He is faithful, either you betray him or one of you stops loving the other, because only then will the love relationship with him end. I feel like he wouldn't want you to get hurt in any way, so he's always tried to hide that he's in a gang to avoid getting in trouble.
Someone like Baji, who despite being aggressive is at the same time affectionate in his own way, and who is willing to do things that many people wouldn't do like suicide is proof that he is not only a good boyfriend, but also a good friend ...actually he's good at everything.
You probably met him thanks to stray animals, or you always fed them or you always went to their pet store. He would probably arrive talking to you about cats and the conversation would flow. Every day you went there to feed the cats and he does that too, not because of you, but because of the cats. But over time it becomes attached to you and ends up appearing there for both you and the cats.
He's the type to behave like an older brother. He doesn't get jealous, he just gets suspicious when someone approaches you. As already stated in the character's book, Baji prefers to resort to violence and before a conversation, this wouldn't change much when you were dating; If he feels like hitting someone who takes up a lot of his time, just prepare your emergency kit to take care of the person he hits later.
I see him declaring himself on an important day like Valentine's Day, Christmas or New Year's, his declaration would have been 100% his and 50% Chifuyu and Ryusei's advice. Baji, like Chifuyu, reads manga, I don't remember if it was here which category he reads, but I'm sure he was inspired by it...
Obviously everything would go wrong. Some delinquent behind him trying to fight, or him simply having brain problems because he forgot what he was going to say. In the end he was only able to declare himself even in serious moments, like moments of near death where he said something like:
"don't give up on me yet, damn it! I haven't even had time to tell you how I feel!"
That alone would be enough for days later for you to talk and resolve the matter and he would simply have to say everything. But that would take years...Baji is a man of steps when it comes to love.
First step would be trust, second would be time, third would be moments together, fourth would be denial of feelings towards you, fifth would be denial and disgust at himself for having these feelings for you, sixth would finally be acceptance of his feelings for you, seventh would be his mental adaptation to all of this, eighth would be gathering courage, and ninth would finally be his declaration. But make no mistake, each stage takes time, in the end only the fourth stage would take a few years.
Baji isn't the physical type either, in fact most Asians aren't very into physical affection. But a hug from him wouldn't bother him, just raise a question in his head.
Him trying hard not to see his mother cry, killing himself for Kazutora is proof that this man would do whatever he could to keep you happy.
He would probably, like Draken, neglect you. the only way to have a perfect relationship with him is to be like him, wild and involved with Toman. Not only would it bring you closer together, but it wouldn't leave you as attention-hungry as our poor Emma.🥺
And these are my thoughts on Baji, if there is anyone with other opinions please let me know, I like talking about it. each person has a different point of view. I was never very close to him, so I only remember a few things...

what abt rockstar remus and reader start chatting over the phone and he invites her to a party the band is having perhaps? sirius n james see them together n tease remus maybe (goodheartedly) smthn like that :] also i love ur writing i’ve been following for months now n i literally all of it is always so good never read anything i didn’t thoroughly enjoy from u
thank you so much you're LOVELY!! part two to this but you don't have to read it ♡ fem!reader | 1.3k words
When Remus had asked you over the phone if you wanted to go to a party, you'd said yes before really thinking it through. 
"Cool. I'll send someone." 
His nonchalance had further disturbed you. Talking to him over the phone is terrifying. He's a hard guy to read when he's sitting right across from you – over the phone feels like slow torture. You'll say something and the line will go totally dead and you'll pull back the phone to check he's still there and catch the end of a laugh. Then he says something stupidly nice, like, Fuck, you're funny, and you have to stop from throwing your phone across the room. 
The driver Remus had sent for you has to give your name at the front gate, which is ridiculous. Then he pulls into a driveway big enough for thirty cars, which is more ridiculous, and it's over capacity by double that, all sports cars' worth more money than you'll likely ever see in your entire life. Famous people's parties are insane, to put it lightly.
You linger in the back seat, wondering if you're going to throw up. 
"Is everything okay?" The driver asks. 
"Do you… You don't know whose house this is, do you?" 
"Mary McDonald's," he says knowledgeably. "Mr. Lupin is waiting for you inside." 
You take it for what it is, a dismissal. "Right. Sorry. Thank you," you tell him as you climb out. 
He has the kindness to roll down a window. "You'd do well to be careful. Celebrities are… a different breed to us," he says cryptically. 
You watch him pull away in horror. 
This is where it would be great to call Remus, only your phone had died in the car and everything is starting to feel like a total disaster. Through the open door you can see that the house is teeming with people and movement and sound, lights and drinks.
There's two huge bouncers manning the door. You approach the one with the clipboard though you're seriously considering turning around and walking home. 
You give him your name and he stares. "With Remus Lupin." 
He looks skeptically to your side. 
"I think he's inside," you squeak. 
The guy checks his list and evidently finds you because you get nodded in. 
It's worse once you're actually past the threshold. You've never seen so many people, so many people with so much money. It's clear in everything about them. Designer clothes and perfect hair and better bodies. You feel a little sharp pain of nerves every time you remember whose house this is. 
You see a flash of familiar hair and decide to start there. Through a moving crowd of people and shoes that crush your toes to the living room, where Sirius Black stands to the side with an actor you're intimidated by and said actor's model girlfriend.  Your two seconds from spinning on your heel when he locks eyes with you and grins. Really grins. 
"Hey! Sweet thing!" You freeze. He gestures with his hand. The way he does it, like he's entirely unused to gesturing his hand and not having the person cede his command, is both hot and infuriating. Rockstars, you think wryly. 
"Hey," you say, not loud enough. He gets it anyway. 
"Now how are you here? We have met before, right?" 
"Right. At Devys Centre." 
"Right…" He squints and points his glass toward you, his drink sloshing over the edge. "Not stalking me, are you?" 
You're suddenly so grateful to him you can't speak. His arrogance, while charming on him, is huge, and it makes you laugh. Your shoulders relax, your jaw softens, the stress of being here and not knowing anybody fading just slightly. 
"No, I'm not stalking you." 
He steps closer and he smells like expensive cologne, like fake leather worth enough money to look real, like cognac worth a thousand a bottle. 
"Then why are you here?" 
"She's here as my date," Remus says from behind you. 
Which is not what he said on the phone. The word date was never mentioned. Its clarification emboldens you, has you beaming as you turn your head to see him. You've talked over the phone, sure, but that's only been a couple times a week for two weeks, and you only ever met him one time. There's no guarantee that this is going to work. That he even wants you. 
"Hey," he says, as if he's said it a hundred times before, as if you're familiar. 
You really want this to work. 
"Hi," you say, smiling softly. 
He dots a friendly kiss over the apple of your cheek and his hand grasps your shoulder lightly as he turns his gaze to his bandmate. His fingers are long. The press into your skin and the pressure is awfully nice. "Where's James?" Remus asks.
"That's what I'd love to know," Sirius says, smooth. He suppresses a smile badly. "I didn't realise we'd be seeing you again," he says to you. 
"Go bother somebody else," Remus says. He talks with a casual boredom that Sirius is obviously used to. 
"I'm gonna go find Jamie," he says. It's a promise of something but you don't know what. 
As soon as he moves Remus is taking his hand from your shoulder. You spin in place to face him and find yourselves very close, his dark brown eyes trained on you, moving a little less than amicably over your figure. 
"You look amazing," he says. 
You should say the same. You'd managed to forget how good looking he is. You are sorely reminded. 
"You too," you say pathetically.
"I tried to call you half an hour ago." 
"Sorry, my phone died." 
"No, don't be. I was worried maybe this wasn't the best place for a first date. I'm not trying to scare you off so quickly." 
You smile and rub your lips together, gloss sticky as you say, "I didn't know this was a date." 
"Is that okay with you?" he asks. 
His voice enamours you; the lilting cadence of his concern and the genuineness of his question is endearing beyond words. 
"Yeah, it's okay." 
He smiles and brings a hand to your face, stroking your cheek with the broad of his thumb just once before you're interrupted. 
"What's he look so chuffed about?" a loud voice asks. 
"Baby's first groupie," Sirius says. 
"Don't be fucking disgusting," Remus says. There's a quiet heat there that twists your chest. 
"Groupie as in enthusiastic," Sirius corrects himself, winking at you as he appears at one shoulder. 
A second presence at the other. "Hi, shortcake. What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?" James Potter asks jokingly. He inclines his head at Remus, who, to your astonishment, seems to be blushing. "With this vagabond?" 
"A girl like me?" you ask. 
"Jesus christ," Remus mutters. 
You catch his eyes and smile at him until he smiles back, hoping to reassure him though you're not sure what for. His expression softens. 
"That's bad. That's really bad," Sirius says to James like you're not there, endlessly amused. "S'like I'm watching you and Lilykins."
"Like looking in a mirror," James sing-songs.
"I'd assume there was much less contempt on our front," Remus says. 
James protests loudly and enraged whilst you repeat the word 'our' to yourself, grinning. Our, as in us, as in there's an us, no matter how small it might be.
"Do you want a drink?" Remus asks you over the low din of his friends.
"Sure." 
Remus holds his hand out and you take it. He has big hands. His fingers fit through yours like they were made to. You let him drag you to a kitchen full of too many celebrities to count. He only looks at you.

4. Do their boyfriends have any boundaries? Like Reg and Barty can't do x
5. Have either of them ever had a crush on the other?
I am SO glad you asked (also, funny, everyone only asks about them. I don't mind)
1. So, imo, Bartylus only realized their alternate attraction for one another after falling in love. Barty is arospec so he struggled to feel the difference, meaning he thought he was in love with Evan and Regulus at the same time?? Complicated times for his poor heart. They did, however, figure out the drama, but they didn't really give each other labels. When they started dating Ev and James, they did warn of their bond and that it could get in the way of a "normal relationship". Evan, being their best friend, already knew and accepted it, but James had a bit of a hard time coming around. He did end up accepting that Barty was not too bad of a guy, so, as long as Reg and James had their alone time, he didn't mind. (Also James kinda really understands the appeal of Barty. He's hot, come on!) The boyfies really like seeing their lover happy, and it reassures them that, even if they had a falling out, Bartylus would still be there for one another. Friendship is so much more withstanding than romance, after all.
2. For Reg and Barty, their qpr doesn't really change how they used to approach their friendship before. They allow themselves to be touchy (hands around the waist, fingers under their shirts), intimate (showers together, sleeping in the same bed and cuddling), a bit romantic (they like kissing. It makes Regulus happy and Barty has a bit of an oral fixation, so having someone's lips on his makes it a good day). To Regulus, his approach to the whole relationship is completely similar to James. To an untrained eye, there is absolutely no difference between how he treats James and Barty. Barty, on the other hand...
3. Well, Barty and Evan fuck. Which is something he doesn't do with Regulus. Barty had tried, once, to initiate sex with Regulus, but it had made Reg way too uncomfortable, so it didn't happen. Rosekiller are very intense compared to Bartylus.
4. They do! James feels very conscious about not appearing as Regulus' lover. Regulus had to reassure him, of course, that it wasn't the same, even if it's not visible. Because it is different, you see? Barty is a friend. Kissing him feels like a friend - it's light, and funny, and they can do it and go back to gossiping. It doesn't mean anything at all. But when James and Regulus kiss, it means 'I want to spend my life with you and see you everywhere. I see you in the flowers in my garden and the ripples in the water, in the freckles of the sky and the roughness of the stone. I want, for every last moment of my life, to keep having you by my side for me to see how beautiful you are.' .Jegulus doesn't have sex, because Reg is sex neutral to negative and it makes him uncomfortable, but he can indulge James with some freaky action from time to time, which he's never do with Barty. Mostly, it's James asking Regulus to give him an appropriate amount of boyfriend time and going out together. It's the same way on Evan's part, since he usually third wheels for the two on their friend dates, and he likes to have some alone time to snog Barty in a dark alley, you know? Mostly, the boundaries they have are things Bartylus wouldn't be comfortable doing anyway. (Also Regulus is so obviously smitten for James it's not even funny)
5. Not really? They've always felt that way for one another. Sometimes people would joke that they were a couple and it would disgust them to no end. They've always been affectionate and they like it, that's all.
(ALSO @star4daisy YOU LITERALLY JUST FREAKED OUT ABOUT THIS so that's for you love)

You think you can do a Komi Shouko!MC with the Dorm Leaders + Ace & Deuce?
Dorm leaders + Adeuce duo with a Komi Shouko!MC
You're a shy and sweet individual. You suffer from extreme social anxiety and communication problems, often trembles like a leaf if you're forced to speak.
While you appear gracious on the outside, your nature is a little silly at times. You're a very detail-oriented and meticulous person. You're also curious about experiencing new stuff, often enthusiastic about it. You could also be surprisingly competitive.
Riddle:
kind of confused on why are u not speaking up
and kind of annoyed honestly
until he noticed how you're literally shaking so much
now he is concerned because????like??? are u ok????
at first he kind of just assumed you're scared of him bc of his reputation as a tyrant
so he tried to be patient and try to approach u first slowly
but then realized you're like that with everyone
so he tried asking why you're like this
ofc, no pressure. if u don't feel comfortable telling him, he won't force u!!
and if he found out why you're like this? he spends his time researching what to do to help
and now you're in riddle's lesson class
good luck😰riddle's a good teacher but u might need that goodluck
he's really patient with u and won't force u to do anything if you're still uncomfortable
will collar anyone who dared to talk abt u in a bad way bc of ur anxiety
straight up stomping their way with his uh wand??? round magic thing??? wtf is it called yolanda???? ready to swing
he's very surprised that you're competitive but its not like its not an unwelcomed surprise
will compete with u fairly
probably how yall got close idk my brain is fried after school
Leona:
thought you're scared of him too💀
so he just leaves u alone
well u had no choice but to still interact with him anyway because the god of storyline wont let yall not interact
hes observant, he'll finally notice it then
honestly? not big of a difference lol
he doesn't wanna deal with people so he mostly just leaves u alone too💀
might defend u if someone talked bad abt u tho🤔
only if its in front of him ofc
"i dont want any troublesome things to happen in front of me"
he may have said
but now u wanna be his friend
be his friend = errand runner + pillow
you'll help him with errands just fine
well sometimes
no promises with ur two friends and ur cat by ur side
but being his pillow? thats where the problem starts
literally shoots up like when a cat saw a cucumber
leona: ??????!!!!??????
u startled him so much the first time, he actually woke up for the rest of the day💀
he was annoyed but he just lets it slide bc he can't really get mad at u for smth u cant control
he'll need that level 10 friendship before he'll ever be able to make u his walking pillow
which means more effort from him head in hands
leona realizing he needs to put an effort into smth again:
Tumblr media
he won't underestimate u or make fun of u
Azul:
he's friends with idia and even tho idia doesn't like being in crowds, that doesn't mean he's dumb
plus hes just as quiet as u when he was younger so like🤔
doesn't mean he won't try to make a contract with u
oh u want friends??? WOULD U LIKE TO HAVE A DEAL WITH HIM????
cue him and the tweels chasing u around school with a contract in hand /j
literally tried to come up with smth to help u with ur anxiety bc you're actually willing to make a contract with him
you apparently desperately want some friends bc you're pretty lonely or smth
so now azul is working his ass off to help u
whenever u help him or smth, he will think its a sign that u wanted him to hurry up with his potion to help u
listen man, he's not used to kindness alright🤷‍♀look at the people he's around with all the time
won't knock out of it until u shakily said you're just helping him just because u wanted to (and bc u wanted to be friends with him)
azul stayed awake for a whole week trying to decode what are u trying to say to him
bro almost became a human research genius
until the tweels just go "...yeah we better just say it to him before he pass or smth😰"
he ended up passing out after the tweels told him anyway
bc the exhaustion finally caught up to him
that and bc hes shocked you willingly wanted to become his friend??? after??? all???? that???
but he recovers pretty quick don't worry‼️
plays board games with u
and the tension was so bad bc yall were so competitive like chill out its just a board game😰
Kalim:
might accidentally made u uncomfortable at first bc of his extroverted vibe as idia said
quickly apologies and tried to make up to u in the most extravagant way ever
which made u even more nervous and uncomfortable💀
but it is ok! jamil is here to save the day‼️
he then spends the rest of the day telling kalim why are u shaking and looked nervous
which leads to the next day
he, unfortunately, is still very loud
so he deadass shouted ur name and ran up to u
but he gave u a whole ten page essay on why hes sorry as soon as hes in front of u so uh🤔
tried his best to tone down his enthusiasm for ur sake
more excited than u abt getting u friends than you being excited trying to gain new friends
dragged the pop music club to meet u and be friends with u
and then he dragged the second years to meet u
and then he went to drag u to meet all of his dormmates
out of everyone, hes probably the only one whos actively dragging people/dragging u around to find u some friends💀
mans even promised he'll make u meet his siblings so that they'll be ur friends
well uh with kalim by ur side, im sure you'll have more than 100 friends soon‼️
Vil:
it is ok, VIL WILL HELP😘🤗‼️
now u have like two teachers trying to help u with ur anxiety
he may be busy but he can never pass up the chance to make someone who has a lot of potential shine brighter than they alr are
will step on anyone who dared to talk bad abt ur anxiety
but then again, he doesn't wanna dirty his shoes with trash so like🤔
he tried to push u into things little by little until u get more comfortable with the change and getting out of ur comfort zone
hes very patient with u do not worry‼️
Idia:
u wont get out of ur comfort zone overnight, he understands that so that's why hes taking small steps with u until u get more comfortable
when u told him u wanted to make 100 friends??? hes all abt it
literally gave u any advice u may need to gain friends, he might even introduce u to a person or two if u ask
the savior friend to introverts who goes "excuse me, they asked for no pickles"
the one you're probably most comfortable with
i mean hes the mom friend so can't really blame u🤔🤷‍♀
is more than happy to know that you're competitive and smart
like thats a really good quality to have so he really encouraged it
more than happy to compete with u
dont think he'll go easy on u just bc he has been a little soft on u‼️
ah, if it isn't his kind of person
he kins u
you're both smart but u both have social anxiety
the only difference is that idia dislikes people and u kind of like them and wanted to be friends with them
yalls first meeting are gonna be so funny LMFOAOAOA
it was ortho's idea btw (our wingman)
literally just two people struggling to speak up to each other
but uh since yall are kind of similar to each other, its easier to get comfortable with each other🤔
Malleus:
ortho is the translator for the both of u during that time
"brother feels you're kind of relatable!"
"they said you feel relatable too, brother!"
gaming buddy
thats how yall bond
yall are really competitive abt it, ortho actually got worried friendship could be broken from this
hes probably the second or third person you're most comfortable with??🤔since u guys are so similar
but he cant really help u in social situations bc like
he doesn't even go out💀
he might help u from his ipad tho
if he feels confident enough that is
if not, he'll just make ortho go to wherever u are and help u
thought u were scared of him bc of how much u were shaking so he avoided u for ur own good💀
it takes like a week of convincing from lilia for him to even talk to u again
ah, you're just shy and is suffering from anxiety, he sees
teleports back to the library or smth to find ways to help (after yall finished talking ofc)
and honestly? he tried his best to give u advice and all that
mans even went to take some advice from lilia abt this for u
i dont think anyone will even say a thing abt ur anxiety with malleus by ur side💀
they could just mention ur name and malleus will look at their direction
which scared the students and they haven't even said anything😭⁉️
nobody wants to fuck with him thats for sure
malleus: 🤔????
he's confused on why did they stopped talking abt u when all he did was look😔
he wanted some of those juicy gossips abt u and how you're doing too yknow😔
heard of ur problem and he couldn't relate more
he too, wants some friends and is having difficulties trying to have one
suggest u two have do this quest where u both try to get friends together
bc hey!! u two will have each others' back!!
which failed pft💀friendless behavior
i mean, oh no thats so sad im so sorry
well i mean its ok!! u guys have each other ig😁!
Ace:
ur very own walking translator to people
but hes just like google translator
and by that, i mean he will give out the wrong translations sometimes
someone asked if i coukd tutor them and u wanted to say yes? ace said u said "fuck off"
someone is making fun of u? the same thing but louder and more threatening
someone is praising u and is making u uncomfortable? same thing
someone wants to eat lunch with u? same thing with the added "this table is full🙄"
doesn't really understand much why u cant speak up but tries to🤔?
he may be confused but at least he got the spirit‼️
will try to speak up for u when the professor called on u to answer some questions
which sometimes helped sometimes got u both into trouble for no reason💀
is there on ur quest to make friends
which lowkey drive them away bc they don't wanna get into trouble and all of u got into trouble often woops💀
compete with each other the most i say
it got to the point a small crowd is gathering around yall bc they're so interested in whatever u guys are competing about
be it uno, monopoly, who did the most math questions or smth, yall get so competitive abt it with each other
Deuce:
if someone makes fun of u because of ur anxiety, he will send them flying
someone is unconsciousnessly making u uncomfortable? he's alr warning them
like he straight up became a goku kinnie if someone made u uncomfy or said smth bad abt u
not even one word can get out of their mouths before they blink and deuce is in front of them with his fist up
ngl he had a hard time communicating with u too since uh
you're kind of like shaking a lot and he naturally became nervous too
so ace and deuce had to help yall warm up to each other
is really gentle and nice with u‼️
literally so scared that he might have made u uncomfortable in one way or another so he often asks for ur reassurance before anything
he usually gets u to tutor him
and hes really proud that hes ur only student that he'll wear a badge about it
honestly? he does not get these uh anxiety thing either
so he spends hours in the library and internet researching how does anxiety even work
he may be confused but at least he got the spirit‼️(2)
tried his best to help u when you're having difficulties saying smth to someone
he may butchered up a thing or two and almost made the person fight u or smth but hes a pro now‼️
literally smacks ace if he said "fuck off" again even tho thats not what u wanted to say
u wanted friends??? WELL HE CAN TRY TO HELP YES‼️⁉️
spends day and night planning how to get u 100 friends in a day💀dawg thats now humanly possible calm down

Hello !! I ADORE your work, and I was wondering if I could request a Yoru x F!Healer!Reader with some Hurt/Comfort ?? I have this idea where : Yoru and Reader have a similar relationship as him and Phoenix (very competitive) but maybe they get into a petty argument and Yoru ofc is really cold and mean and says something totally out of line a few days before a mission (maybe Abt how she's no one's first pick when getting healed) ?? The rest of the protocol can feel the tension but don't say anything when they get to the mission location ; Eventually our team wins but as Reader does one last sweep of the area alone she finds Mirror!Yoru in bad condition, and they sort of come to an agreement that Reader will heal him (bc she can't stand to see him hurt even though she's upset w him) and then they will never speak of this again ?? Maybe some small talk and Mirror!Yoru is being surprisingly nice and gives her advice on how to approach Yoru... Once they part ways and Reader gets back to base, it slips out what happened as she's talking with Mirror!Yoru and instead of being really angry, Yoru is confused and is like "Why would you heal him / me, after all that mean shit I said to you ? Wouldn't I be the last person you look for? " and they eventually make up- bc I JUST KNOW Yoru has a hard time coming to terms with the fact people genuinely care Abt him. IM SO SORRY IF THIS IS A LOT / NOT ANYTHING YOUD WANT TO WRITE !! THANK YOU EITHER WAY <3
This prompt brought me so much joy, I’m an absolute slut for hurt/comfort pump that shit straight into my veins. Hope you like~
Yoru x Fem!Healer!Reader: Kiss and make up
Yoru wasn’t usually this pissy. Like,, you get it. He has a reputation to uphold as a hypercompetitive, cool bastard. Sure.
But making such a big deal out of not being selected for the mission to Portugal in Omega? It was clearly hitting him hard.
“Awww Yoru, don’t be such a buzzkill,” Phoenix calls over the milk jug. “Like, you know we have multiple teams right? Like, they need you for icebox. No one else can fuck around with the enemy’s intel on the ground like you can my guy.”
Yoru’s eyebrow twitches and his hands fiddle idly with the spoon in his hand. “What’s it to you, fire boy? You can barely last ten seconds when you get going, I’m surprised they’d take you anywhere.”
Phoenix lets out a low whistle. “Someone’s got his cranky pants on this morning hey.” He turns to you with a pointed look. “Good luck with that one.”
You clap Phoenix on the shoulder as he heads out from the table, and settle down next to Yoru, who maintains a stony silence.
“Yoooooru,” you call gently. He shifts with irritation, jabbing his spoon back into the cereal with a wet thunk. “Hey there, how ya doing hotshot?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know, weather girl.”
Ah, it was gonna be like that, huh.
You take a mouthful, and nonchalantly ask: “hey, you looking forward to icebox? I hear they have some pretty good recreation activities for team bonding~”
His grip tightens further. Yep, definitely pissy about it.
You continue, innocently enough: “I for one am looking forward to checking out the geodome on Omega and testing out these sweet kicks Neon got me. Thoughts?”
You gently nudge his foot under the table. A vein pops in his forehead.
“At least I’m not a pity pick, you shady bitch.”
“Hoooo~? What’s that supposed to mean, Mr Sunshine?”
“I mean I just think it’s interesting that you’re supposed to be a healer but they also had to send Sage along.” He toes the ground and prods at his food without taking any.
“Uhhh, congrats Yoru, she’s the one person here that can bring people back from the dead.”
“Yeah, she’s actually helpful when she heals. Plus she doesn’t nag.”
Okay, you were starting to get a little irritated now.
“Dude, if you stopped getting yourself into stupid situations maybe I wouldn’t have to literally tell you what to do as much. I don’t think this is a me thing.”
“Keep telling yourself that Miss Nurse. But at the end of the day if I was stuck on a mission with someone annoying, I’d want them to at least be able to bring me back to life.”
Dude, fuck this guy.
“Welp, I’ll let Sage know then,” you say, rising abruptly from your seat. “On the mission, today. That Brim didn’t put you on.”
“See you later then, Miss MVP,” he sings back at you. You ignore the bait and stalk out.
Yoru maintains a cold smile as you leave, but it’s pushed out through gritted teeth and feigned apathy.
---
As much as this mission should have you on edge, you can’t quite process the gravity of the task for all the ruminating you’ve been doing. Why did it get under your skin so much when Yoru got like this?
It wasn’t like the other agents ever through shade on your abilities—quite the opposite. Very quickly after joining, you were put on a lot of the most demanding missions alongside all the high flyers. They’ve only ever had words of praise and gratitude, and objectively you’ve guided them through many many close calls.
So why did you feel so useless about it?
You try your best to shake yourself out of it as Brim gives the lowdown. Sova, Sage and Phoenix all stand, varying degrees of agitated as you went over the plan for what seemed like the umpteenth time.
You of course have familiarised yourself with the brief well in advance, but it looks like this time even Phoenix is giving his undivided attention to Brim.
The task is simple. Split your forces and push through B-site. Destroy enemy utility as you find it, wait for smokes and neutralise anything and anyone in your path.
As you start prepping your guns, Phoenix drifts over to fix up his frenzy next to you. Preoccupied in your own thoughts, you don’t notice till he gently shoulder chucks you.
You turn around with a ‘hmm?’ and for a moment it looks like he wants to say something. But then Brim starts issuing start-up commands and the moment passes. He heads back to join Sage at the entrance to mid.
You grit your teeth, and ready your rifle. No do-overs. Just guns up and go.
---
The attack goes… better than expected. Between you and Sage, you manage to keep any injuries on the crew to a minimum. Sova’s recon is on point, Phoenix creates space and Brim makes the right calls to keep you on track.
Eventually you stand, bloodied, sweating and alive in the middle of site. Sage tends to a couple of bullet holes in Brim’s shoulder, Phoenix is brushing the soot off his shoulder.
You clock Sova limping over to Brim, looking fairly haggard and favouring his left ankle. You get the sense this was a big fight for him even after a sleepless night. You can see him gesturing out to the entrances to site, and Brim pursing his lips in thought, clearly weighing something over. God. The man doesn’t rest.
You weigh up your options and sigh, eventually going over to put a gentle hand on Sova’s back, careful to avoid the deep gash in his right shoulder.
“C’mon owl boy, I’ve still got some recon stuff up my sleeve. Let me handle this one yeah?”
Sova’s noises of protest are quickly cut off as Brim chimes in: “That’d be great actually, kid. Just a regular sweep, and Kay/0’s on radar in case anything big comes up.” He shoots you a grateful look.
You can see Sova mulling things over, before eventually he accedes to Brim’s command. “Stay safe, dove.”
“You know me,” you call back over your shoulder, reloading your ammo and adjusting your straps. “If trouble finds me, she runs.”
You set to work, clearing area by area. You marvel at the architecture, embedded with radianite that now lays dormant in the walls and balustrades. Most of the technology resembles yours, but occasionally you come across wirings and contraptions that you haven’t seen back on your home world, even in Killjoy’s lab.
May as well snap a few pictures then. You’re sure she and Cypher would appreciate a couple of schematics.
Poised with your phone in hand, a very subtle shift from the corner of the room sets your hairs on end. Shit. You were pretty sure the team had cleared everything, but what if…?
Better safe than sorry. Taking a deep breath in, you send a warm pulse of energy out into the aether, seeing what pings.
One life form. Faint.
You swear under your breath and creep forward. You’re generally pretty quiet but you weren’t exactly operating on the basis that someone would be around to hear you when you started live-blogging your whereabouts. As you round the corner, you find a bloodied form, eyes very much open and staring at you.
Ugh. Of course it had to be him.
The mirror Yoru looks under you and mutters something you can just make out to be… ‘Fuck me. Really? Her?’
“Hey there pretty boy,” you murmur. He smiles wryly at the nickname, but can’t quite bite back a bloodied cough that wracks his body for a good ten seconds.
“Woah woah woah,” you say, instinct taking over as you crouch beside him and brace his back. He flinches a little at the touch before you snap back and realise that this isn’t your Yoru, this is the enemy. Fuck.
“What, you gonna play around before you kill me,” Yoru grimaces. You draw back, uncertain, and he taps the centre of his forehead. “The you I know would make it quick.”
Oof. Hearing him say that out loud was pretty jarring. You were supposed to kill him. He expected you to.
You swear again, and bend down once more to draw level with him, doing a quick pass over on his injuries. Left to his own devices, he won’t last long. There were enough bullets perforating his chest from his sternum to his kidney that he’d bleed out in minutes. What a way to go.
A thought occurs to you. You haven’t managed to neutralise his Sage. She’s still probably at base—you know your Brim only brings her out when she’s essential on the field, too important to lose to a regular field mission. So no matter what, the man in front of you ends up back at his base eventually.
That settles it.
“Hold still hotshot.”
Not in a position to protest, Yoru can’t do much but sit and try to steady his breathing as you start to pull back his jacket, wincing a little at the extent of the damage. Taking a swab of antiseptic from your pouch, you mutter a quick ‘deep breath, this is gonna hurt like a motherfucker’ before setting to work cleaning the wounds.
Apart from sharp hisses when you remove the little pieces of lead embedded in his tissue, Yoru stays silent through the process, looking away.
Eventually, the wound is tidy enough that you’re able to start the real healing process. Stretching out your fingers, you press the palm of your hand to his side. While he jerks back at the initial contact, the warm waves of energy start to work their magic, reverberating through muscle and tissue and starting to net it back together.
Yoru finally lets out a sigh as in spite of himself, he relaxes into your work. “Ugh, that’s the stuff,” he says, almost to himself. Eventually he ventures: “why are you doing this, mirror girl?”
“Your Sage would bring you back anyway. We might be on opposite teams, but I’m not an asshole. I’d hope my other half would do the same for my colleagues.”
“Hm,” he whistles through his teeth.
“Didn’t expect you to be a fan of my healing though,” you muse.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It’s stupid. I’m actually a little pissed at your double right now, he was being a real dick talking shit about wanting Sage to heal him instead.” You notice his amused expression. “Sorry.”
To your surprise, he actually laughs at this. “Yeah of course he’d say that. If he’s anything like me he’s a stubborn bastard more keen to score points than to actually tell the truth. Fucking dumbass.”
Well that’s unexpected. “You don’t think… he meant it?”
At this, Yoru scoffs. “God no. In fact, if he has taste like me, he’d take your healing over Sage’s any day. Hers is like. Proficient, right? Technically flawless. But it’s so cold. She’s been at it for a while, and healing is just another obligation for her. You though. Yours is warm. Spreads through you like the heat from one of those old-fashioned light bulbs. And something about the way your power works…”
Here he trails off for a second, noticing how intently you’re listening. “Go on,” you coax, moving your hands down to focus on his ribcage.
“Your healing has a lot of you in it. Any time your mirror—or you actually, now that I think about it—fixes me up, I can feel how much you care about helping me. It’s nice and comforting, like honey, or sunlight on your back or some shit.”
Oh. Okay then.
“Why would you tell me this,” you ask quietly, starting to finish up the process and apply a few rounds of gauze to stabilise the major wounds.
“I want to cause problems for him. It’s funny.” For once, there’s no malice or ego behind his words. It’s nice to see him surprisingly genuine.
You go to shoot back a retort, but the intercom crackles and Brim’s voice comes through. “Command to Patch, status report? It’s been a few.”
Yoru’s eyes flash for a second, suddenly aware of the danger he’s in. He shifts uncomfortably as you take breath before responding, keeping eye contact with the man in front of you.
“All clear Command, I’m returning to base shortly.”
Yoru lets out a low whistle. “Shit, and you could have been a narc about it.”
You give a wry smile. “I suppose you’re right. I’m assuming you’ll leave this off your mission report to Sage?”
He nods.
As you turn to leave, his hand grabs your wrist. “What is it, rift-squawker?”
“Talk to him, patchy. He’s dumb, and the people he likes most are the ones he pushes away the most. He’s terrified to lose them, but he’s even more terrified of things almost working out.”
“I don’t think he’s dumb,” you muse quietly. “But I’ll take your word for it. Take care yeah? Don’t let me have to patch you up again.”
You clap him on his good shoulder and head back to extraction. The last thing you hear from him, almost under his breath, is a quiet ‘maybe there is hope then.’
Whatever that means.
---
Back at base, things are way less tense. Aside from Omega team’s triumph, Icebox was a total wipeout and the team managed to secure valuable intel about the mirror protocol’s next movements.
After dragging your tired bones to the infirmary and having Skye give you a top up, you’re about to hit the sack when a familiar form crosses your path. A lot of your hackles from earlier have gone down, and what the mirror Yoru had said flashes through your mind.
“Yoru!”
He turns around, face surly as ever.
“What is it, healbot? Come to gloat about your victory on the new frontier?”
You push back the instinctual retort, and opt for a more peaceful route. “Eh, the geodome was a bit touristy. I hear Icebox went well though. I don’t know what you did to get Viper commending you, but it sounds like you let ‘em have it.”
Yoru’s a bit caught offguard by your lack of defensiveness, but it doesn’t stop him from shooting back “yeah, turns out not having a healer is no big deal, actually.”
“That’s not what he said,” you muse. That piques his interest.
“Who?”
Oh shit.
“Oh, y’know…” you say evasively, waving your hand.
“Probably Phoenix, he doesn’t know shit.”
Oh? Bet. “Literally you,” you say before you can stop yourself.
That gets his full attention.
“The fuck do you mean me, patchy? I haven’t told you jack shit.”
You shoot a furtive glance around the corridor, and pull him into a small maintenance room shutting the door behind.
“Mirror you, idiot.”
“Where the fuck did you find my bastard clone? Scratch that, how the fuck did you have a full conversation with him?”
Ugh, no going back now. “It was… an arrangement of sorts. He was pretty dinged up and I-“ your voice catches here. “I couldn’t exactly walk past him when he was so hurt.”
“So, what, you healed him with your magic healing powers,” Yoru says incredulously.
“Don’t be mad…”
“Actually?” Yoru’s voice peaks, and you have to shush him, checking the handle.
“Hey if it was you surely you’d want the mirror me to he-“
He cuts you off. “Obviously but why the fuck would you heal me after all the shit I said earlier?”
This catches you off guard. “You… you were hurt, I know I’m not Sage but I thought you’d rather not die.”
“But like I obviously wasn’t serious about the whole healing thing. Wait…” he catches sight of your expression. “You thought I was serious about preferring Sage’s healing to yours?”
“Until he said something about it, Yoru, yeah. It got under my skin.”
He rocks back and puts a hand to his forehead, grimacing. “Shit. God. Fuck. I’m…” He grits his teeth. “I’m sorry. I- yeah that was on me. You know I don’t mean it right?”
Wow. An actual apology from Yoru? The fuck kind of magic did mirror Yoru work?
“Yoru it’s, it’s fine. I guess I put a lot of myself into my healing so it’s a point of pride for me. It kinda sucks when people turn around and say I’m less-than.”
“I know you put a lot of yourself in it,” he says quietly. “That’s… one of the things I really like about your healing. That’s why it’s… my favourite…” That last bit is barely audible.
A bit of a flush of pride starts to prickle your cheeks, though you try your best not to show it.  “Yoru, you know you can just say that upfront, right? Like, it’s okay to recognise when you like what other people do.”
“I know. I know, I just-“ He mumbles the next bit. “What if they think I’m stupid for enjoying their help, and what if they don’t think as highly of me?” The light is low, but even so you can see the heat starting to radiate off his face as he gives you this surprising dose of honesty.
“Are you kidding me? You’re one of the best even in the protocol. Insane marksmanship, brilliant record and an amazing knack for getting behind enemy lines. Why would anyone think you’re stupid or not respect you.”
“But,” he sputters out. “I want you in particular to like me and like what I do.” Just as quickly as the words leave his mouth, he clamps his hands over and looks away, very pointedly avoiding eye contact.
Wow. Wow, okay.
“I should go,” he says abruptly, and whirls around to leave. Anticipating the gesture, you catch his wrist and tug him back.
“Yoru you freakin’ dumbass. I think you’re great. You’re one of my favourite people in the protocol, and I like it when you can be honest with me. I think it’s really sweet.”
Without warning, he draws in close, chest going up and down at quite a rate. He really looks like he wants something, wants to say something or do something, and you’re starting to get the sense you know what it is.
Fuck it, worth the risk.
You close the distance and press your lips against his. He goes completely stiff for a second and you almost freak out, worried that you’ve misread the many cues. But then he’s pushing into the kiss hungrily, his hands reaching around and pulling you close, growling at the sensation of finally having you up close.
Every movement you make, he leans into it and responds tenfold, huffing and tugging and trying to hold as much of you as he possibly can.
You both near run out of breath before you finally break, standing there panting and looking at each other. His hair is wild and his eyes are gleaming with no small amount of satisfaction, and maybe even a hint of relief.
He pulls you in close again, this time wrapping his arms around you for a bone-crushing hug. “Your clone is the fucking wing-man of the century,” you murmur into his ear.
Yoru gives a gruff chuckle. “I suppose he is.”

hi! no rush in answering this and I hope it all works out with your job, sending good vibes. I wanted to ask for some advice as my partner hss AFRID and (probably) anorexia. they've been refered for help for the AFRID stuff specifically and they (for very valid. and obvious reasons) don't feel comfortable opening up to drs about the other loads of eating problems they have. Now they are being monitored and freaked about abt the need to gain weight etc
Im helping them as best I can but it feels very us 2 (and our friends) vs the rest of the world plus that I feel I'm p much winging random stuff that Might help see what sticks. We are trying to find some middle ground were they can make some "progress" so they aren't coerced into something they really don't want to do by drs and so they can have a little more energy etc etc.
We are also both still living at our parents and it's all just not ideal. rn. Any advice at all would help really, is there anything I should do and anything I really shouldn't? just typing it up to someone who won't tell me to force them to get themselves admitted is already a relief tbh thank u for ur work on harm reduction <3
Hey anon! Thanks for reaching out. It can be so hard to find any information about how to support people with eating disorders that isn't just "Go get professional treatment right now," so I will do my best to share some stuff that we've been talking about in my harm reduction + peer support networks!
Correct me if I'm retyping your situation incorrectly, but my understanding of what you shared is that your partner has ARFID and is also having other struggles with eating more related to anorexia in terms of fears about weight gain, body image, etc. Their doctors know about the ARFID and are receiving some sort of treatment for the ARFID, but the treatment is triggering some more of the anorexia stuff because of the increased monitoring.
This sounds like a difficult situation for both your partner and you as a support person, and I can understand how stressful it is to have to worry about coercive treatment on top of trying to figure out ways to cope with disordered eating in the first place. It sounds like you've been doing a really good job supporting your partner and listening to what they need, and trying out lots of different things to see what's helpful for them. I'll share some tips, but as always, what works for one person won't work for another! Asking your partner and collaborating with them to figure out what their exact needs and wants are is always going to be the most important.
@librarycards just made a post about harm reduction in eating disorders that I'm going to link to. I'm not going to restate everything they wrote, but one thing they talk about is identifying what feels like a necessity that can't be changed right now, and what things feel like there could be some wiggle room and space for change right now. If your partner is open to it, it might be helpful to sit down and make a list of what kind of eating disorder behaviors feel absolutely necessary right now that can't be changed, and what things feel more flexible. I think it's really important to be able to do this nonjudgmentally--a lot of eating disorder recovery spaces argue that "recovery" is all or nothing, and that allowing any kind of eating disorder behaviors is a failure. It can be really important to use a harm reduction approach to identify goals that actually feel doable for us, instead of saying the only option is to stop every eating disorder behavior and mindset 100%. That will look different for everyone, but explicitly giving yourself permission to continue some eating disorder behaviors can sometimes help people meet other goals around energy, quality of life, etc that are important to them. I know for me, having both ARFID and anorexia made it incredibly difficult to try to focus on dealing with both at the same time. I completely stopped trying to focus on any ARFID goals in increasing variety or challenging sensory needs, and instead just focused on figuring out coping skills and how to meet the energy needs for my body. Giving myself permission to only eat safe foods, ignore social norms around food, etc, helped me a little bit with figuring out how to cope with some of my restrictive urges. It might be worth figuring out with your partner what goals feel like priorities at the moment, and making a plan together.
Another thing that I found super helpful in my own journey with the ARFID and anorexia combo was learning about fat liberation and discussing it with other people. Basically all mainstream eating disorder treatment doesn't bother to spend anytime talking about fat liberation or fatphobia, and usually actually perpetuates a lot of fatphobia. I think that being able to dismantle the societal ideas we learn about weight gain, fatness, and diet culture is super important for everyone, and I think that for disorderly eaters, it can also be super important to track how that influences our own self-understanding of our eating. This list by Rachel Fox is a great starting point for fat liberation resources. For me, it was super helpful to be able to read through articles and books about fat liberation and discuss them with other people, and build a political understanding of fatness that allowed me to connect what I was reading to my experience with disorderly eating. If this is something that your partner is interested in, having someone to learn + read with can be super impactful.
I think it can also be crucial to think about your own boundaries and needs as a support person. You are not in charge of "fixing" your partner and your partner does not need to be "fixed." You're allowed to not know the answers to things, need to take breaks to support yourself, and to also be going through difficult times. Both you and your partner's autonomy is important, and figuring out ways to support without feeling responsible or trying to control each other can be really crucial. I can tell how much you care about your partner and it sounds like you're doing a really incredible job with all the ways you're providing care. If either of you ever feels like you need a space in your life to talk about this, ANAD offers peer support groups both for people living with eating disorders and for family/friends of people living with eating disorders.
Other than that, there's not a ton I can think of for things you should or shouldn't do, since it seems like you have pretty good insight into major things to avoid (forcing people into hospitalization, making fatphobic comments, reinforcing diet culture, forcing recovery) and are doing a lot of things right (asking your partner what they need, trying things out and being flexible, making room for harm reduction style goals instead of only "recovery.") Keep asking your partner how to support them, collaborate with them on the best ways to provide them care, and continue being there for them through this hard time.
Truly sending you and your partner the best of luck, anon, and hoping that you both can find some care and healing during this difficult time. All the solidarity and please feel free to send any other asks with more questions, vents, anything, <3 <3 <3

hiii i so love all your art!!! the brushes you use make your drawings so satisfying and i want to touch them. i wanted to ask you how you go about making outfit sets. like not designing the outfits themselves, but what do you do for the character base? how does that work? ive always wondered because id love to make outfit sets without redrawing the character every time, but is it possible to make a base without having to draw the character wearing... nothing? loL. how do you do it?
Hi there, thank you so much!! I probably overrely on them tbh, but I do love me a good chalky brush, and it makes me so happy that someone notices/enjoys the effect and texture. C:
I've tried to explain how I go abt making outfit sets! Hopefully I didn't overcomplicate my answer here- I feel like it really is a simple process! Just duplicating layers and reusing base elements.
Tumblr media
1. Sketch the base! Technically the character isn't wearing anything at this stage? But it's like a doll or a mannequin, you just need the basic forms as a good foundation to draw the clothes on top of.
2. Sketch different outfits, hairstyles, etc!
3. Line only the parts that will be consistent and stay mostly the same in each outfit- usually the face, hands, hair, maybe feet. If your character wore the same boots in each outfit, or their forearms always showed, you'd line them here too- it's anything you don't need to redraw.
This will be the 'base' that you copy/paste and reuse in each new outfit, sometimes with slight edits. Here are some more examples with the base lines (black), outfit lines (pink), and the base + outfit sketches (blue).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
4. Finish lining the outfit! C:
I like to work with my layers in groups, one per outfit. Each group will have the outfit sketch, a copy of the base line art, and then the lines and colors for that outfit. A file will eventually end up looking something like this:
Tumblr media
I will also usually color the face on its own layer and duplicate it for consistency/time.
I suppose the other approach would be to draw a finished base body, and then draw the outfits on separate layers on top- like an actual dress up game or a paper doll. And that would work! I just don't do it that way b/c I feel it's more time-consuming + tricky to get the edges and overlapping bits to actually line up.

Reason She Smiles - Shannon x Fem!Reader
Tumblr media

author's note: i'm so happy i've found a few people who want to read abt dessa and her characters so y'all better eat this and send me requests lmao.
Tumblr media
Clem and Nick held hands as they walked out of the elevator. Clem dropped Nick's hand to dig the key out of her purse as they approached the door.
"These heals are killing me." Clem groaned sticking the key into the knob. "Why do they have to be so pretty?" She looked down admiring them.
"They do make your legs look very-" Nick tried following Clem into the apartment, but was roughly pushed back into the hallway. "What?" He questioned noticing the shocked look on Clem's face as she closed the door again. "Did Shannon leave the living room a mess again? I swear I am gonna give that girl a stern talking to." Nick shook his head.
"No! She's in there cuddling with someone on the couch." She whisper-shouted.
"What? Who?" Nick asked intrigued.
"I don't know. I didn't get a good look." Clem shrugged.
"Well, what do we do?" Nick asked.
"We can't just walk in there." Clem said trying to think of a plan.
"Actually, we can because it's our apartment." Nick said trying to walk past Clem, but she grabbed his arm stopping him.
"Shannon has obviously been hiding whoever that is and if we just barge in there she might feel like we're attacking her and she'll stop actually talking to us."
"When has she ever actually talked us? If you think about it, we really don't know anything about that girl. She might not even be your sister." Nick said.
"I'm serious." Clem placed her hands on her hips.
"Fine, at least let me get a look at this before we go in." Nick said. He slowly turned the door knob and quietly opened the door, only a bit, peaking his head into the apartment. His eyes landed on Shannon with her arms wrapped around her guests shoulders and her head leaning on top of theirs.
"Aw, it's kind of cute." Clem whispered, her head appearing below Nick's as they both watched the two.
"Yeah, I've never seen Shannon so affectionate." Nick whispered back.
As if on cue, Shannon's guests sat up and turned to lean towards Shannon pressing a gently kiss to her lips. Nick and Clem's eyes widened and their jaws dropped as they stared at the two. They quietly shuffled back into the hall and closed the door.
"I know that girl!" Clem whispered shocked. "I saw her and Shannon hanging out the other day when I went shopping with your mom."
"Why didn't you say anything?" Nick asked offended Clem didn't tell him the biggest news about Shannon.
"I thought they were friends. They didn't look all couple-y when I saw them." Clem explained. "I can't believe Shannon didn't tell me about this. I mean I know we just reconnected, but still this is big."
"Come on, Clem. It's Shannon." Nick grabbed her hands to attempt to comfort her. "She's not exactly an open book."
"I just wish she felt like she could've told me. I don't want her to hide from us." Clem frowned.
The couple jumped upon hearing the door open. Clem whipped around putting on a smile while Nick did the same.
"Uh, hey guys." Shannon said staring at them curiously. "How was date night?"
"It was great, actually. We had this delicious-" Nick started explaining, but was interrupted by Shannon.
"I was just being polite. I don't care that much." Shannon said making him nodded sarcastically.
"Who's this?" Clem asked looking at the girl next to Shannon holding her hand.
"Um, this is my friend, y/n." Shannon introduced.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you." She smiled kindly.
"I'm Clem," She grinned. "This is my fiancé, Nick. It's so nice to finally meet one of Shannon's...friends."
"Why are you being weird?" Shannon asked.
"I'm not being weird." Clem quickly denied.
"Okay," Shannon trailed off. "I'm gonna walk her downstairs. I'll be right back."
Tumblr media
Clem stood in front of Shannon drinking her coffee. Shannon was glued to her phone, too busy texting away to notice Clem staring at her trying to think of the best way to bring up Shannon's "friend" from last night.
"So..." Clem trailed, placing her coffee mug on the counter. "Is y/n a new friend?"
"No." Shannon said simply not even looking up from her phone.
"How long have you known her?" Clem asked.
"Why are you being so nosy?" Shannon looked up from her phone suspiciously.
"I'm just wondering." Clem shrugged. "You've never brought anyone over here."
"She's been my best friend for like three years." Shannon answered. "I met her at school."
"You seem really close." Clem pointed out.
"Yeah, we are." Shannon nodded looking back at her phone in her hands.
"Okay." Clem snatched her phone out her hands making Shannon's eyes grow wide.
"Clem, what the hell?" Shannon reached across the counter trying to grab her phone back.
"I need to ask you something." Clem swatted her hand away. Shannon sat back in her seat with a huff of annoyance. "Please, don't get mad. I'm asking you this because I care about you and want you to feel comfortable here."
"What are you talking about, Clem?" Shannon looked at her utterly confused.
"Is y/n your girlfriend?" Clem asked.
Nick who had just stepped foot into the kitchen froze and turned back around to grab his briefcase. "I'll grab some coffee on the way to work." He said before scurrying out the door.
"Pfft, what?" Shannon laughed, attempting to hide her paled face. "Why are you asking that?"
"I saw you two at the mall together. I didn't think anything of it until last night." Clem admitted.
"You're spying on me?" Shannon raised her voice a little.
"No, of course not! I was shopping with Rose and I saw you two walking around." Clem explained. "Look, Shannon. I just want you to feel like you can be yourself here. You look really happy when you're with her and I hope you know you don't have to hide anything from us."
"y/n is my girlfriend." Shannon said looking at Clem with nervous eyes. "I was planning on telling you, but I got scared that maybe you wouldn't accept me, and we really needed a place to stay."
"We?" Clem questioned.
"Oh, yeah. y/n spends the night a lot. Her mom always has her boyfriends over, so she usually crashes with me." Shannon told her.
"Ok, we're gonna circle back to that later." Clem said shocked.
"y/n's really important to me, Clem." Shannon said. Clem sat up straighter upon hearing the seriousness of her tone. "Before she was my girlfriend she was my best friend. I don't wanna any of our mess of a family to ruin my relationship with her."
"Well, I saw the way you two looked together last night. I've never seen you so happy." Clem rubbed her shoulder giving her a soft smile.
"Thanks, Clem." Shannon smiled back.

crazy fucking dream i had
so it's me and two other guys walking towards this house in the middle of a small field that's in the middle of a forest in the middle if nowhere (the only sign of society being a walmart that's like an hour away that's next to a theatre/bar thing) and we're looking around collecting samples of like plants and taking notes. one of looks into the distance where longer grass is (abt chest length) and notices something. a deer w what looks like a broken next. it's jumping on it's hind legs and w each hop the neck and head ragdoll but it's quickly approaching the third guy in my team.
we yell at him to run towards the house for safety. when he makes it in the deer sinks back into the grass. we make our way towards the house avoiding the tall grass. when we make it inside we talk to the family that lives there and they explain that what we saw was a curse. everyone who sees the deer will start seeing stuff that isnt actually there laying on the ground. it'll re appear whenever they get out of eyesight of it. until eventually they die a horrible death.
so we're fraking out and we start wondering what to do bc at this point it's revealed we're paranormal investigators waiting for the rest of our team to arrive. suddenly the man that was being followed yells and points towards a corner in the room. he sees a bald man just standing there. we dont know what to do so we set protection circles around him like blessed salt and holy water. we try to sleep later but he stays awake.
we get up in the middle of the night bc the second half of our team is supposed to b arriving soon. looks like a camera and lights guy and someone to carry our equipment. they're walking towards the house and we see them through the house's big glass sliding doors. the deer appears and runs straight at them and attacks them. they run off into the woods and we dont hear from them. we search for them and find nothing.
in the morning, the family that lives at the house (a daughter abt 7 years old, a mother and a father in their early 50s) asks if we can go to walmart for them to get somethings before this huge storm is supposed to come and we oblige since they r housing us. once we arrive the cursed man goes to the bar and says he's seen the bald man every mile since we drove awake from the house and wants to go to the bar. we go to buy supplies while he drinks. we try to leave to go back home but as soon as we paid for the groceries the sirens go off and we're all rushed into the back of the walmart where a shelter is at. even the patrons of the bar run here since the bar doesnt have a shelter.
we try telling them we have to go back but they wont let us leave. it's coming down extremely hard outside and definitely would not b a good idea to drive in these conditions but we keep insisting. we still cant leave. a night passes and i apparently have scrying abilities and look at the house at night in the storm. the deer has made its way into the home and the person it first targets is the daughter. my scrying gives out as soon as he makes contact w the daughter
when the storm ends we drive back and the house has been brutallly destroyed and the family cant b found except for body parts (hands, scalp, teeth). our second half of the team is nowhere to b found and the ppl we were (assumedly) hired by r dead. we leave the area (no cops involved or investigation idk why its a dream) and as we leave i see the deer looking at me. we leave expeditiously.
we arrive at a city and every church we step into asks us to leave. i cant bless myself and we dont have supplies to make a protection circle. we dont know why but the first guy to get cursed doesnt see anything anymore. but i do. every once in a while i'll see a brown paper bag w something inside. i dont know what i see but it's the scariest feeling ive ever had and every time it appears i start to freak out.
we go to a shop and buy some stuff, clothes i think, and a few days pass. i started realizing that i hadnt seen the bag around for a while, but as soon as i notice my third crew member throws up. he's seeing a decapitated head of the old man who helped us. we cant see it.
we figure out that the things we see have to do w trauma and try to figure out what to do w what we know and wonder what made me and my other friend stop seeing the entities. i say i stopped seeing them after buying new clothes. my friend says he stopped seeing it the night of the storm. we connect the dots and make a guess that making purchases might stop the curse somehow, maybe it even exchanges it to someone else but we're not sure why or how.
he buys something and gives a thumbs up as we leave. the i woke up

14 and 21 for the ask game? :o
from here :)
14. what’s something you’ve always wanted to do but maybe been to scared to do?
silly answer is actually hook up w someone from a dating app skdjskdhskjd. when u want to get laid but dating apps freak u out… uhhh idk i feel like other than that im like. pretty good at forcing myself to do things im scared of? (i’m significantly less good at forcing myself to do things i find boring. which is the real problem.) maybe write and post f1 fic (which is stretching the definition of “always” LOL)
21. are you a spiritual person?
kind of? i was raised (and am) super duper not religious lol. and like i don’t really believe in anything but i also don’t not believe in anything? no organized religion At All . but when i was a kid w a lot of anxiety i found a lot of comfort in like . accepting the inevitable? i was specifically really scared of like. burglars and witches/ghosts (two very different fears but probably coming from the same psychological source or whatever lmfao). and like 7 year old terrified at midnight me was like “if a ghost/witch/etc wants to get you. there’s quite literally nothing you can do abt it now. if it’s gonna happen, it’s gonna happen. if a ghost wants to kill you tonight, they’re gonna kill you, you might as well get some sleep in case they don’t” and it comforted me so much (weird kid moment). and i feel like that’s kind of my spirituality vibe??? does this make any sense? idk. the universe is gonna throw shit at me; there’s no point in freaking out abt it bc i’ve already done everything i can to prepare. so no real sense of like god. or even ghosts lol. just like. the universe as an unknown. maybe it’s uncaring and unfeeling or whatever. maybe it’s some kind of being overseeing us all. who knows? either way like . the future is whatever it is. idk just a kind of acceptance of like, maybe fate is real . so then whatever’s coming is coming. and maybe fate isn’t real but whatever’s coming is still coming. a go with the flow approach to bad things happening. very vibes based anxiety reduction i guess lol. if the universe wants it to happen so be it; my job is to act and react accordingly

Hi, basically, I'm in friend group of three ATM, me and one friend are both in a qpr, I'm aro and he is aroace, I'd say our friend group just gives off VERY aspec vibes, anyway there's no real problem there, it's just that we we're talking abt attraction and all, when our third friend, who as far as I know doesn't identity as anything, when we were talking abt attraction she mentioned that she'd never felt any attraction towards anyone, never thought anyone was attractive or anything, she said she thinks that's pretty normal though, for context we are all around 15 so it's not entirety unusual to not feel any of those things, but she's also very offline and basically knows nothing abt queerness, so I guess what I'm asking you is, how do I tell her she is probably aspec, I don't want to be the judge of some else's sexuality but she's actively sex repulsed I've seen it, the chances are she'll never stop being offline because that's just who she is and those are her morals but I find it impossible to believe that she would ever be with anyone, and I don't want her to struggle with herself and everything, I feel irresponsible for keeping this information from her, she might not get another friend group like us in the future so I feel it would be the right thing to do to let her know that a) it is necessarily normal for people to have ever experienced attraction towards anyone b) that her strong dislikness and aversion of sex is not and inherently average thing but c) these are signs and experiences of people who are aspec and that I think she could possibly fall under that umbrella, then I would suggest places for her to look up information and would encourage her to just think about and tell her that we'd be here to help. Is this the right thing to do? Is it wrong to encourage someone else to question their own sexuality because what they are experiencing aligns with a certain identity?
Yeah, I don't think your approach is a bad one. I'd probably take a very similar tack. Just have a conversation that's meant to inform in a you may find this interesting/useful kind of way, and I think the points you want to cover are good ones. And then I'd just share some resources they can look into and let them know you're open to talking more about this if they're interested at a later point. But I'd also drop it completely after that unless they chose to bring it up again themselves.
It's not wrong to just inform someone a label exists that you think may fit them, just so long as you're not being pushy or trying to label them yourself. But it does sounds like your goal here is just make sure they're informed, which is good. Of course it doesn't hurt to also emphasize while you're talking to them that this is their choice if they want to look into this or not, and you just want to make sure they're aware.
Since your friend is very offline, I'd try and share offline resources. For example Aces & Aros has pamphlets on their website you can print off and give to people. They also have book recommendations on the same page. (And then if this ends up being something they want to explore more, you can also look into things like in-person meetups in your area, or if you have a local LGBTQ+ chapter that's ace/aro friendly, checking them out.)
All the best, Anon!

i think the word i was looking for instead of hostile was stand offish 😭😭 like there’s no doubt buttercup’s direct when it comes to addressing problems, but i feel like that’s more-so when the situation isn’t based around intimacy..? like it took butch finally walking up to her to launch their reconciliation, so i wonder if on her part, if butch didnt come up to her she’d not only be beating herself up abt it but butch too subconsciously, like overthinking it to the point she starts avoiding him 24/7 if dat makes sense idk there’s more i wanna say but this is already think piece length she’s a very complex character (also your ppgyarus are so cute i am in Love❤️)
Oh true! I THINK THIS IS A TOUGH-Y but buttercup is so interesting to break down :~)
I think that she’s in that like ~phase~ yknow idk if I can make sense of this like enough for it to be understandable LOL but in the original ppg buttercup when she’s conflicted whether it be apologizing or like she’s like debating on whether something is morally just and good or bad she kinda freezes and gets frustrated I think this was something like that but a grown up version! Like she stutters a lot and she tends to ramble and stresses herself out when she’s caught in the middle of decision making! She doesn’t like addressing other people bc she’s scared and she often acts like her decision could be detrimental to her and her perception there’s a lot of pride getting in the way yadda yadda yadda
I think we might just be seeing it in a different way since it’s with Butch and she’s older! I think the reason why maybe she has the luxury of being silent because she knows how he is (this is a little fishy to me in terms of my interpretation I think we might have to wait for more occurrences but we know butch is quite keen with buttercups emotions to spot when she isn’t or is uncomfortable! Butch is incredibly direct compared to buttercup because he doesn’t much get clouded by other variables! The part that may or may not be fishy is whether or not buttercup actually knows that he’s that perceptive of her! *i don’t think she does lol*) THAT OR I think she truly is just sitting with herself we don’t quite see exactly what kind of shit she’s going through since I think it was through butchs very SURFACE perspective (I think I need to reread this part I just don’t particularly remember buttercups pov and I just remember butch staring a lot) and he obviously didn’t want like some weird estranged relationship with someone he finds comforting so his immediate gut reaction is to address it as something that wasn’t a big deal. (This could be a conversation for another day LOL but that’s why they never get together I don’t think they think their relationship is REAL ????)
I think that says a lot of these two which that they really don’t wanna address things SERIOUSLY When it pertains to intimacy- like I think butch more than buttercup so that’s why he is able act as a stop sign when it comes to buttercups inner turmoil when she’s like looking for a route or is lost and often conflates it as something not so serious!
But I feel the need to compare buttercups behavior with Mitch v. butch (though these are very different scenarios but 2 peoples she’s been intimate with) is that mitch and her broke up it took them MONTHS to reconcile and even then it felt like both buttercup and Mitch were treading lightly! And it wasn’t out of malice or anything I think that it was how it just happened to unravel. The conversation that she had with butch immediately after pops out to me asking him if he’d ever like cared about people it becomes very difficult with these situations how to navigate. I don’t know if his approach to these things have changed but YOU CAN TELL HE DOESNT GET IT. There were little things here and there even within that chapter like him being obviously jealous of her with her old friends and being happy and a bunch of other stuff to the ultimate occurrence of him almost dying which shifted buttercups entire behavior with him that she is starting to feel the need be careful around him because of it. (Another aside thought: but I wonder if that will come up or if butch even minds but buttercup kinda looks at him like a piece of glass sometimes and he generally doesnt like being perceived as weak I wonder if he cares since it’s her he might have a different reaction hmm then again he doesn’t care about his perception me think TAPS CHIN much to think about!!)
So I don’t think that she is stand offish with ill intent! But yes! I think she was taking herself out of the situation because she didn’t wanna say or do something that could ruin their relationship because she sees him as someone who is (somewhat) precious now??? But butch was able to just cut the wire because he doesn’t understand to a certain extent WHY he’s hurts he just wants it to STOP. So even tho he has occurrences of him being attached emotionally and having negative emotions with being left alone it seems he doesn’t attribute that to her he kinda just is like blaming it on the situation ??? And honestly I don’t even wanna give him that much credit I think he is basically like a toddler like if something hurts I simply just want to stop hurting instead of thinking as to wHY you might not like this kind of pain
