tag rant 👍
#sorry i refuse to embarrass myself by making a post but i have nobody else to talk to about this#experiencing the biggest reach of my life but i need to share it but i don’t have anyone to share it with so. you guys#but anyway i find it interesting how alice is given that same lighting will is given in the van#or just the ones that make him ‘the light’ y’know? alice gets that lighting after she sees the dead rabbit but much more intense#and im working on the It parallel stuff right#like It is definitely representing both henry and the mf as a combined force and that’s a whole other thing#and It only has one natural enemy: maturin. maturin is Its brother#iirc maturin is heavily associated with bright lights#maturin also has the ability to create new galaxies/dimensions#so what if alice was the one who created the UD somehow#It’s ability is many things but the most important one is being the Eater of Worlds#hence maturin being Its natural enemy because It can never achieve its goal as long as maturin creates more worlds#henry wants to ‘fix’ the world and alice introduced a new world that could be tampered with and later need ‘fixing’#which makes it funny that henry is the one who fucked it up in the first place#or it could be a demonstration of how henry’s idea of a perfect world destroys it whereas alice will keep introducing more worlds that#would’ve been fine without the tampering of human nature#which could also play into the multiple UDs theory#but also that makes the connection to will even more interesting if we consider will’s powers to be the merging of worlds#if he can bring them together he may very well be able to push them apart#which would make him another enemy of henry by making these worlds untouchable#‘but how would both the kids have powers’ well considering virginia’s ties to brenner and some of the filming choices made i think it isn’t#too far out to say she might have powers which is how her children got them#she made brenner fix her and tried to make him fix henry too but alice’s abilities would have been unnoticeable bc they work outside of the#RU#and if alice is a character who ends up returning she could be the one to teach will how to use his powers#cause who else would be able to know how to do that#this is very out there however i needed to get it out of my head#it parallels

PAC: your upcoming relationship 🎀🫧🎆
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pile 1 🧸 —
Tumblr media
ok so i immediately heard let the light in by lana del rey ft. father john misty! this is a very passionate relationship pile 1 wow. your person is very patient, attentive and willing to put you first no matter what. the dynamic will be similar to allie and noah's but minus the toxicity…there's a push and pull but just enough to keep each other engaged and entertained. i'm hearing a lot of witty playful banter, you grinning until your cheeks hurt and not being able to keep eye contact because they give you butterflies. i'm feeling some gemini influence in this pile hmmm communication will be really important between the 2 of you. i think you both are very similar when it comes to your interests and values but have a different approach to how you handle your feelings and express your emotions. you may be a bit more hesitant or resistant to sharing how you feel in hopes of keeping the peace but i feel like your person will encourage you to speak your mind instead of bottling it in. this goes for any scenerio as well, they want you to be able to step into your power and not dim your light for anyone or anything. your person could have prominent water/cancer/or 4h placements because they give nurturing vibes. i just heard "I JUST WANNA SEE YOU SHINE, CAUSE I KNOW YOU ARE A STARGIRL." you mean everything to them. even if you two were to have a disagreement, they'd probably be a bit moody at first but at the end of the day they'd want to talk it out and make up with you. (and i heard make it up to you) they'll never want you to go to bed angry at them or vice versa, this person is very mature and doesn't like to cut corners when it comes to their relationships. this person has an "all or nothing" type of mentality, when they commit themselves to you that's it. all they see you is pile 1, awww it's so sweet. you're gonna have lots of fun with this person.
pile 2 ⭐️ —
Tumblr media
love you like a brother, treat you like a friend, respect you like a lover. OOOO pile 2 your person is very suave, they know exactly what to say and when to say it. i feel like they light up every room that they walk in & could definitely charm the pants off of anyone. it might be hard to take them serious at first or you may question if they're serious about you because they seem to be very friendly or more experienced. but i'm hearing that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, because although this person may give player vibes they’re actually a sweetheart at the core. i can see this person having a really bright smile, they'll love to make you laugh and put you in a good mood. you will bring a good balance to them, they need stability and you're exactly that. they're very confident and extroverted but deep down they feel like no one really sees them except for you. i'm hearing infrunami by steve lacy so maybe some of you already know this person. it honestly does give a good friends to lovers vibe. i can see you two texting a lot, going on little dates and having random/deep conversations about any and everything. maybe lots of discussions about movies? i'm hearing some of you really love cinema. i think you'll definitely see this person in a different light as you get to know them, compared to your first impression of them. it’s like when andie was putting ben through all those hoops until they went to visit his family in staten island…and once she saw him in his element/who he truly was at the core she realized her feelings for him. yeahhh this is super cute pile 2, i dig it.
pile 3 🍬 —
Tumblr media
heyyy pile 3, right off the bat i keep hearing the word CUTE. like maybe this is what people will think when they see you and your person together? you two are absolutely made for each other, i think your inner child will really come out when you're around this person. i can feel the excitement, the giddiness and anticipation you two will exude when you're in each other's presence. i heard "like a kid in a candy store" lol that's adorable. power trip by j. cole ft. miguel is playing…yeah it's very much THAT. i feel like you both will pinch yourselves thinking is this real??? your person is gonna make you feel like you're on cloud 9 hehe i see them getting you flowers, writing you cute little messages on sticky notes and gifting you thoughtful things that you may have mentioned in passing but didn't expect them to remember. i feel like you (and maybe even your person) have been waiting/yearning for a connection like this for very a long time, i get an almost lonely energy. like you've been single for a long time and now you feel whole/complete. the intimacy between you two >>> not even just sexually but intellectually and emotionally! you're gonna feel so safe and comfortable with them. your person is very sentimental and they will never take a moment shared with you for granted. i see polaroid/photobooth pics of you 2 being all close and cutesy :) this person might be a little lowkey/reserved in nature but you definitely bring them out of their shell. the scene where jenna says “arrivederci” and is so giddy when matty responds back with “au revoir” is coming to mind. AH y'all are gonna be so goneeeeee pile 3 i love it for you.

𝑫𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒏 𝑫𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚
𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬 ���𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧 | 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒕𝒘𝒐.
⤷ gender neutral, Valyrian blood (dragon rider), and any size reader. Requests are open, thank you for reading!
a/n: so I realised I didn't exactly go with the 'how they show their love'. Instead, I've changed it to general headcanons w/ your bonded dragon (because I can talk about a whole lot more!)
ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ | ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ ᴵᴵ
Tumblr media
𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌𝐅𝐘𝐑𝐄
・Also known as 'The Mother of Dragons', her pale blue scales shone with silver detailing, giving an almost shimmering appearance.
・30% Aggressive, 35% Loving, 15% Graceful, 20% Wise
・A mother hen sometimes; won't fly until you've had something to eat, you MUST have your water satchel at all times
・Her favourite food is lamb, she cannot stand pig. Even if there isn't anything else to eat, she would rather starve. You have no idea why she's like that.
・LOVES the water, absolutely adores waterfalls in particular. That's where she likes flying off to.
・It's mind-blowing to see a dragon swim, a lizard-like head bobbing up and down. Making happy noises as she floats in the crystal-like water
・She's actually one of the dragons who does like to collect things. In can range from precious jewels to gold to shells to things she's found while swimming
・You bring her things if you've been away (she doesn't like when you don't visit her at least daily)
・But she forgives you when she sees the sack full of *things*
Tumblr media
𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐘𝐒
・Known as 'The Red Queen,' in her youth, she was the fastest dragon in all of Westeros.
・When she was younger, and being trained; she excelled. So much so, that others wondered if she could become the next Balerion.
・Because it isn't just about brute strength, but understanding commands, connecting with what needs to be done etc. Some dragons learn the art of war, and others just ... participate in wars.
・That's why your father pushed you so hard to train. It wasn't to experience difficult situations, but to understand how Meleys would react to them. And in turn, she learned how you react.
・You and Meleys became known for your victories, for if there is a battle, or even a war, you and Meleys are called in.
・Meleys does not like to be touched by anyone but you - so you're the one who bathes her, who tends to her wounds.
・Meleys is very graceful, and likes to be preened. Especially the crown of thorns that grow from her head. With each year they seem to get stronger and larger.
Tumblr media
𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐗𝐄𝐒
・The most unique-looking dragon to ever exist in Westeros. And you love that about him.
・His elongated neck is one of your favourite features about him (he was a bit insecure about it when he was younger. His appearance freaked out not only other people, but the other dragons. Who basically shunned him
・He wasn't allowed in the Dragonpits because too many wanted to fit him.
・But Syrax, she was his only friend. Well, besides you...Well, you're his family.
・Both of you are loners, but intimidating loners. That's how you became the most formiddable pair. All that time together.
・Because then you started to move in connection with one another. Like magnets. Foreseeing each other's decisions, and being able to react; this connection makes it so easy to win battles.
・Even against other dragons and dragonriders, they just don't seem to be on your level.
・Caraxes is very warm, moreso than the other dragons as well. It may be because of his colouring, the fact that his fire is also so hot it melts men in armour where they stand. It might also be because his neck changes how his fire sits within him.
・Either way, it makes for a great help in the Winter when you're shivering, while in the clouds, flying.
Tumblr media
𝐒𝐘𝐑𝐀𝐗
・Willful and stubborn, Syrax doesn't like flying unless the weather is nice.
・She LOVES being doted upon. Call her a good girl and she's yours.
・However, she does have a quick temper
・And doesn't like her limits pushed
・Understands when something is important, i.e., when she has to be used as a weapon (she likes using her fire - bit of a pyromaniac)
・She shows her love by flying you to the outlands of King's Landing or Dragstone. You love being near the water, with the sun beating down on you.
・Syrax is impatient though and you have to find a place where she can fall asleep underneath shade
・Snorts when she scares someone
・Syrax HATES when she gets dirty, and demands to be bathed every day
・Training her was actually a nightmare. She has the capacity to learn a lot but just doesn't have the ambition
・She had to be bribed with food, basically all the time.
Tumblr media
𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐌𝐎𝐊𝐄
・More of an introverted personality. Doesn't care for warfare, but trains when he has to. But when it comes to you, he will fight til the very end.
・Extremely loyal, doesn't like being away from you for very long
・And is the second best looking dragon in all of Westeros
・But you always tell him that he's the prettiest boi the world has ever seen
・The difference between Sunfyre and Seasmoke is that Sunfyre knows he's a hottie and loves the attention. Seasmoke doesn't care for the cheers of the crowd
・Seasmoke is a lot less self-indulged
・He does love being near the water. Definitely has Pisces energy about him.
・The pink frills behind his neck are very ticklish and once nearly shook you off because you wouldn't stop tickling them.
・He prefers to eat fish over anything
・And you actually made him a pearl necklace from all the oysters he finds while diving into the ocean
Tumblr media
𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐅𝐘𝐑𝐄
・The most beautiful dragon to ever grace Westeros.
・Known as 'Sunfyre the Golden.'
・Well that's what the Maesters had written in the history records
・Sunfyre is very stunning
・With gleaming gold scales that seem to create sunspots when the sun hits them
・His wings are pink entwined with gold. Pearlescent white showing here and there.
・Crowds flock to see Sunfyre
・And both you and Sunfyre love flying above those crowds, hearing the cheers as you swoop low and show off
・However, even though he loves being complimented, he mostly just wants to be loved. Adored. He hates being on his own, and absolutely loves when you sleep beside him.
・He will tug on your clothes when he's bored; but one time he accidentally bit you and you were so grumpy with him.
・To make up for it, he had brought back a dead sheep (in dragon language that means " I'm sorry " )
Tumblr media
𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐍
・One of the younger dragons, she is known as 'The Blue Queen.' Her name is after a Valyrian goddess. One of power and glory.
・But you just know her as Tess, and she nudges you whenever you do so
・She's your best friend, and you're hers.
・For a dragon, she's very reliable and down to earth (major metaphorical sense for the latter)
・Her appearance is nearly completely blue, with touches of pearlescent white on her horns. Her eyes are a glowing blue as is her flame.
・Very good around children, and has actually allowed one to touch her snout.
・Has a thirst for adventure and you show your love by allowing her her freedom
・Never chaining her in the dragonpit, your only command is not to go too far when she might be needed.
・She actually loves flying at night, and keeps herself steady so you can watch the stars

What about a nsfw alphabet for Kung Lao?
Tumblr media
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
Kung Lao needs a bit of prompting to engage in aftercare. It not because he callous but because he is typically still stunned in the glow of the pleasure you two created together. He'll be staring up at the ceiling, hands behind his head just basking in it until he hears his partner clear their throat. Only then does he mutter out an embarrassed laugh and help you clean up
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
Being very confident in his abilities and appearance, Kung Lao would say with certainty that his favored feature is his jawline. He finds it to be quite appealing and regal. As he looks in the mirror his fingers trace over and caress its shape and he finds himself smirking quite coyly
He adores his partner's hips and will often watch them sway as you move. His brow will raise and you may notice him drifting further and further behind you just so that he may admire them more and more
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
Kung Lao is not too picky about where he chooses to finish. It all depends on his mood and if he can afford to make a mess or not. He finds it quite delightful to watch his natural essence drip from your heated core yet also enjoys painting your body with it. One thing that is certain that he tends to finish rather heavily. So expect a lot
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
Is an avid watcher of all things pornographic. He reads dirty magazines and hoards a rather impressive staff of videos most explicit. He watches them rather frequently too
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
While he may talk a big game and present himself as a playboy Kung Lao is anything but. He has nearly no experience in terms of intima
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
Kung Lao prefers taking his partner from behind while in a standing position. His partner's hands are pressed flat against the wall while they bend at the waist. Kung Lao drives himself into you again and again, even giving your plush ass a very spanks just to see your skin ripple and wave
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
Kung Lao most definitely brings humor into the bedroom. He likes to tease and will certainly do so while having sex with his partner. More often than not he is making dirty jokes when being intimate
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
Kung Lao is relatively groomed. He does not have much hair under his clothes and the stumble he does have, he makes sure to remove. He prefers to have himself smooth
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
He is able to be very romantic in the bedroom. It is just a rare occasion which, honestly, makes those romantic embraces all the more special. He will typically engage in idyllic gestures as a surprise, to celebrate an anniversary or if he senses his partner is in need of some tender attention
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
Kung Lao very frequently pleasures himself. He has a relatively high sex drive and does not enjoy the feeling of lingering lust. He wishes to give into it and so he will masturbate often
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
Semi-public sex- Kung Lao gets no better high than fucking his partner somewhere so close to where the general populace gathers. It's a rush of a thrill, trying to stay quiet and go undetected and he sure does push the very limits of that
Dirty talk- Loves taunting his partner in bed and teasing whispers full of filth. He does not only speak like this to his partner, he will call out his own degeneracy
Video recording- If it were up to Kung Lao, each time the two of you had sex he would record it. His favorite time to record is when he's taking you from behind. He loves viewing his length move in and out of you through the lens of a camera
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
Kung Lao prefers having sex somewhere outside and rather exposed. He will not object to the bedroom but definitely suggests to engaging in carnal desires when out and about. All he needs is a hidden corner, an ally or even a small closet
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
Kung Lao becomes rather invigorated by his partner's physical appearance. He often looks them up and down, particularly interested in the hips. Close proximity with his partner also gets him rather in the mood. Cuddles and hugs will almost always become something much more feral
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
If his partner were ever to be rude to those close to him, he is most definitely turned off and upset. While Kung Lao may poke fun at them, he does particularly enjoy when others do the same. Another turn off are blindfolds. Kung Lao wants to drink in the sight of you and something obscuring his vision prevents that and it is a displeasing frustration rather than a teasing one
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
Loves receiving oral from his partner. Typically prefers when he is standing and his partner is on their knees with lips stretched around him. He will not take his eyes off of you while he idly thrusts into your throat. He also enjoys recording it so he can remember the way in which you gagged much longer
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
In terms of sex, Kung Lao is often fast and wild. He is not necessarily rough but definitely untamed. He enjoys watching your body bounce and writhe as he feverishly drives himself into you
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
Adores quickies because he feels there is more excitement to them. He will initiate them often with his partner when out and about on a date. He typically doesn't have to say his intention, he just gives you a look that is quite particular
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
Thrives off a risks. He especially enjoys the risk of being caught in the act. He finds such a euphoria in knowing someone could turn the corner and see him fucking his partner raw and unabashed. Would he stop if eyes happened to see? Would he still persist in laying claim to his partner? He doesn't know
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
Very capable of withstanding multiple rounds with his partner and actually prefers when he can. Sex is not a competition but it certainly is a performance, and he is a star performer
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
Most certainly is up to using toys on both his partner and himself if it adds to the sensation of sex. Most likely to use to small pill shaped vibrators on himself and his partner but he is open to using much more on his partner if they show an interest
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Kung Lao enjoys teasing. There can't be sex without teasing. However, he is not a dedicated tease. He will, once again, talk big game and tease for a bit before he is far too caught up in pleasure
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
Rather loud in the bedroom through groans and grunts. Though he also verbally vocal, often swearing and muttering them under his breath when he feels his partner tighten more and more around him
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
Sleeps completely in the nude. It's not that clothes bother him but that he feels much more comfortable lying in bed with out them
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
Kung Lao's build is slender yet athletic. His arms and body are well toned as he uses those muscles very regularly. In terms of length he is just above average with a slight cure to the left
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
Incredibly high. Kung Lao will engage in some sort of intimacy with his partner multiple times a day if he has the option to. Once a day he does enjoy but does it sate him? Not even close
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
Sex invigorates him and actually keeps him awake for sometime. He rides on those rays of afterglow for awhile. If his partner were to want to rest, he wouldn't have a problem with that but he does prefer when his partner stays up with him

A Chance to be Normal
Word count: 2.3k Rating: Fluff/Hurt Pairing: Ascended Astarion x GN Resist Durge/Reader  Warnings: None AO3 link: A Chance to be Normal
Summary: After the Absolute has been defeated, Astarion wishes to fulfill your every desire. However, he didn't expect your desires to be so pedestrian.
A/N: This is literally the day after The Absolute has been killed. I’m going with the Vampire bride/husband theory, however I’m slightly changing it. Since Astarion has yet to fully understand and grasp his power, he isn’t able to fully extend all of the blessings that came with Ascension to you. This can be read by itself or as a prequel to the other works in my "Bound by You: Love is Power, Love is Weakness" series. Also yes this was part of a February fic prompt and yes it is now March. Life sucks sometimes ok.
Tumblr media
“Just one day of normalcy.”
That’s the only thing you requested when Astarion asked what you’d like to do now that the Absolute was banished. He had been prepared for you to ask for anything in the world. You seemed hell-bent on taking revenge on any remaining Bhaalists, although you were worried that you may see familiar faces and turn back into your ‘Slayer-form’. You were ready to jump into Avernus with Wyll and Karlach, but a shared whisper between the three of you ended with them plunging into the hells together and you staying behind.
He meant it when he’d said, “Of course, my love. Anything you want, you shall have.” 
Even for a creature with such immeasurable power, what you desired was trivial in comparison.
Although, he would have to admit that the last month was more adventure than he had ever wished for. Perhaps a day of being a normal elf and a normal tiefling would be a nice change of pace.
When he tried to question what you wanted to do with the day, you simply smiled and whispered, “It's a surprise.”
And a surprise it would be. 
He wakes to hear you frantically running about the room you’re staying in at the Elfsong. You’re mumbling something to yourself before starting to giggle like a school kid. He turns on his side and opens his eyes, only for you to screech at him and slap your hand against his face to obscure his vision. “What are you doing awake?!” you shrill at Astarion.
He tries to gently remove your hand from his eyes, but you retaliate by placing your other hand on top of the first and pushing against him harder. 
“Darling,” he says with a breathy chuckle. “It’s hard to stay asleep with you running around like you’re covered in timmask spores.” Although he can’t see it, he assumes by the way that you fidget that your cheeks acquired a deep blush. 
He takes one of your hands and brings it down to his lips, placing his lips against your palm as he speaks into it. “My pet, what’s got you acting so strangely this morning?” 
Your hand flexes against him and for a second he thinks you’re going to relent. If there’s one thing about you that’s true, though, it’s that you’re as stubborn as a donkey (although Astarion would never say it to your face lest you unleash your ‘gift’ onto him).
“I told you last night,” you respond with a cheeky grin. “It’s a surprise.”
“Very well,” Astarion says while letting your hand drop. “If it must be so, then I suppose I’ll have no choice but to surrender.” 
He grimaces at the words as soon as he says them. He’ll need to keep his tongue in check upon returning to the Crimson Palace; it wouldn’t do to let anyone think there’s someone with power over him.
“Thank you.” You clear your throat before rummaging through the nightstand next to the bed and moving your hand so that only one of Astarion’s eyes is covered. “I still have some prep that I need to finish but I can’t trust you to not peek, so I’m gonna blindfold you.” Astarion smirks at you and raises his uncovered eyebrow. “Does your day of normalcy include a certain kind of exercise?” 
His eye flares at you, and in response, you blush even harder. You shake your head violently at his implication, and he can’t help the genuine smile that forms on his lips. For someone who thoroughly enjoyed his body, you were quite shy whenever he teased you.
“No, I have something special planned. It has to be a surprise though.”
He thinks for a second that he may continue to rile you up, but ultimately he decides against it. This ‘day of normalcy’ was the only thing you asked from him, and what kind of lord would he be if he couldn’t grant his consort’s first wish? 
So with a dramatic sigh, he says, “Alright, get on with it.”
Your other hand falls from his face to hold the handkerchief and he waits for the fabric to wrap around his eyes but it never comes. Instead, you’re focusing intensely on the blindfold, rolling the fabric between your fingers. He’s about to ask what’s wrong when you answer before he has the chance to.
“Do you trust me?” you ask him, your eyes round and full of vulnerability. 
You always asked these questions at the strangest of times. How could he say no? If anything, you were the only being he trusted. 
You could have killed him two tenday ago back in the Shadow-Cursed Lands in order to ‘fulfill your Bhaal-spawn duties’, but you didn’t. 
You could have forced him to drink from that blood Drow to gain a powerful potion, but you didn’t. 
You could have left him to perish in his old master’s ritual, but you didn’t. 
You stayed, you released him from the ritual and helped him to ascend instead. And later that night, you gave over your life.
You were so, so selfless and devoted to him. You could have stabbed him in the back many times, but you stayed by his side. 
It was quite foolish on your end, honestly. 
Astarion didn’t have much before the ritual, and even though he’s now the Vampire Ascendant, all he has is that empty mansion. All of the old servants were either dead or had escaped into the shadows, leaving behind a mess that would take days to clean up. Astarion Ancunín was unknown amongst the elite, nothing but a whisper of a pretty face with a nice body. 
Yet…for some untold reason, he was all you wanted.
It's been a few seconds since you asked Astarion the question, and you fidget beneath his silence. He plasters on a confident smirk to hide his insecurity, answering in the only way he knows how. 
“More than anything in the world,” he whispers. 
Grabbing your hands, he places a kiss on your knuckles before lifting them up to his eyes to put the blindfold on, and his world goes dark.
After you finish preparing your surprise and help Astarion get dressed, you lead him out of the tavern and around the bustling noise of celebrations in the town. All the while, he’s still wearing the blindfold. You pull him along, weaving in and out amongst the crowd. He’s not able to do much whenever he bumps into someone, and he’s convinced he must look the part of a bumbling idiot.
Suddenly, you yank him hard to the side and continue on as the noise from the city fades. The sounds and smells of nature start to flood Astarion’s senses when you stop moving without warning and he stumbles into you.
“My love, can I please take this wretched thing off?” Astarion whines. He’s unable to see your reaction and you don’t answer, but he can still smell your scent so he knows you’re nearby. He waits a few more seconds before asking, “Darling? Are you there?”
His newly beating undead heart starts to quicken as all he’s met with is silence. Has something happened to you? You were just pulling him along not even a minute ago, surely you were fine. 
But what if you weren’t? 
What if in the one moment he let down his guard you had been taken, or worse? 
He’s about to rip off the blindfold from panic when he feels your presence behind him removing the handkerchief.
As his eyes adjust to the brightness of the sun, you let out a big “Surprise!” before wrapping your arms around him. 
On the ground in front of him is a red blanket with golden lace trim; arranged on it are two glasses filled with an expensive champagne, an ornate plate stacked with chocolate-covered strawberries in a precise circular pattern, and a single rose in a small glass vase.
Astarion lets out a sigh of relief and kneels down to the arrangement on the blanket. “What’s this?” he asks while looking up at you.
There’s a smile plastered on your face and your eyes are full of pride. He realizes that he hasn’t seen what you’re wearing yet and his eyes trail down to your body. You’re wearing a simple outfit that’s the same color as the blanket, and looking at himself, the same color of his shirt as well. It’s not something he would have picked out for the two of you (as it’s far too plain), but since this was a day for blending in, he supposes it’ll do.
“This,” you say while plopping down next to Astarion, “is a picnic!” 
He laughs at your straightforward response and he can’t help but admire the blush that spreads on your cheeks. You stick out your bottom lip in a fake pout and cross your arms.
Astarion wraps his arms around you and pulls you into a tight embrace while whispering soothing words in your ear. “My sweetness, you never cease to make me smile. I’m not laughing at you, I’m laughing with you.” You push him away with an eye roll. “I wasn’t laughing, Lord Ancunín.” Astarion tuts his tongue at that response. “Ah, ah, ah. Today I’m just Astarion.”
You quickly envelop his face with your hands and move closer so that your lips are just out of reach from his. Your eyes are full of love as you say, “My Astarion.”
His mouth goes dry at your proclamation. 
Was he really yours? If he was, would that be a bad thing? 
Of course, he would need to make sure that no one ever found out just how deep the bond was between the two of you, lest they use it against him. Or worse yet, they use it against you. His thoughts begin to race but before he can spiral into his insecurities, you snap him back to the present with a gentle kiss on his nose.
Astarion blinks once and you smile, grabbing a strawberry and holding it up to his mouth. 
“Open,” you say while pressing the fruit against his lips. 
He obliges and takes a bite of the fruit, staring at you as you watch him intently. The flavors dance in his mouth, the bitterness of the dark chocolate melting on his tongue combines with the sweetness of the strawberry to taste like pure bliss. It’s been centuries since he tasted food that didn’t immediately cause bile to form in his throat.
You fidget from his silence. “You haven't had anything other than blood in over two centuries, so I thought I'd share my favorite food with you. Although saying that out loud, I probably should have asked what your favorite food was instead of –” 
Astarion cuts off your rambling with a hungry kiss, pushing his tongue against your lips. You let him in and almost immediately you push him away, retching and coughing. 
“I-I’m sorry, let me just get something to drink,” you hurriedly reassure him as you grab a glass and drink some of the champagne. 
You spit out the drink and begin to retch just as before.
Astarion quickly jumps to your side and reaches out to rub your back but hesitates for a moment, looking around to see if anyone else is watching. Noticing that no one is nearby, he begins to rub soothing circles against your back, similar to how he noticed you comfort others during the last few months. Tears threaten to spill out from the corners of your eyes; whether it be from the pain or from something else, he’s not sure.
“What’s wrong, love?” he asks while peering over to look closer at you.
It takes you a few more seconds to catch your breath before you respond. “The taste… it’s horrid.”
Astarion’s head begins to spin at the revelation. When he was just a mere spawn, anything other than blood tasted vile. But you weren’t a spawn, you were more. You were his consort; hells, you drank some of his blood. Maybe it wasn’t enough blood, maybe you needed more of his life source flowing through you.
Or maybe he wasn’t as powerful as he originally thought.
Yes, he was able to protect you from the sun, however, it wasn’t to the extent of total invulnerability. You were only able to last under the direct rays for a few hours before your skin would start to simmer and bubble. It was a bittersweet end to the celebration of the Absolute’s defeat. 
In exchange for your complete devotion, Astarion had stolen your freedom in the sun.
How many more of his weaknesses would afflict you? Your reflection was still visible, but without the need to traverse through moving water or eat food, it hadn’t crossed his mind that you were affected in negative ways.
His inner monologue is cut short as you still his comforting arm on your back. “I’m okay, really. Why don’t you enjoy the treats I brought? We wouldn’t want to make my time out in the sun today to be for nothing, would we?” 
You look at your love with a heartbreakingly pitiful smile.
While he has always admired your strength, he could feel the sorrow emitting from you. Quite literally, he was overwhelmed with a sadness unlike his own. His stomach began to twist in knots and the edges of his eyes became damp. 
“No, we wouldn’t want to do anything of the sort.” He plastered on that fake smile of his and looked into your soulless eyes, your mind miles away as he agreed. “Come, darling, lay your head on my lap.”
The rest of the picnic was quiet, and later that night once you both returned to the Elfsong, Astarion impatiently waited for you to fall asleep. Once he was sure you wouldn’t stir, he quickly scribbled a correspondence to Waterdeep. If he was going to protect you, he needed to have more power, and there seemed to be a saying about knowledge leading to power.
Special thanks to @starryjuicebox and @enterthedreams for helping me finish this fic!

aita for “not being able to keep issues in servers separate”
🌻🌷🌹🥀 (to find later)
this all happened a couple months ago now in mid november-ish so i’m sending this late, but i didn’t want to while the situation was ongoing. for the record me and everyone affected have collectively since left both servers mentioned. so. wee
i (23mtf) do a long of long form roleplay, specifically in public oc-based discord servers. these are servers where people will create a setting and then people can join and insert their ocs into the world, and they’re tons of fun! this is a hobby ive had for years now. it’s really important to me as it’s my main creative outlet and i know a good number of people in the community. i’ll often join servers and recognize at least a handful of people there already
around may last year, i joined a new server and things were great, for a while, but then not long after i joined someone new did, i’ll call her X (34nb) for this. when she first joined the interactions we had were fine, but - and i’m still really not sure why this is, i’m not trying to absolve myself if i did do something but i have no idea what i did to warrant this shift even to this day - a few weeks later she just got… extremely passive aggressive and contrary with me, over silly things. most of it was “in character” but it really stuck out to me. i’d have a character say something marginally unconventional and she’d always, without fail, have one of her characters come in to scold them, even if her characters hadn’t been part of the conversation prior. her characters constantly talked down to or insulted mine. she was always talking ooc about how strange her characters found mine. when i tried to get involved in overarching plots, she would often push me out of them, or insist that my characters were only getting in the way, or would insert her characters to do things i’d stated to the group i wanted mine to do, so i didn’t end up able to do anything. it seemed targeted to me because the main character she was doing this with was known to be very kind to everyone else, but for some reason never had anything nice to say about mine. i know none of this is outright bullying but it wore on me greatly. i tried to confront her on this multiple times to tell her it was making me uncomfortable and to please knock it off, and i tried to get the server mods involved when that failed, but the behavior never really stopped and eventually i was content to just… not interact with her
but then a while later i noticed her treating someone else the same way. i reached out to him about it, and he told me that she had done basically everything she’d done to me to him, and he wasn’t the only one. after snooping around a little more i realized that a lot of people in the server had had this problem with her, totaling 7 of us. 7 of us in the group at the time. some people had dropped characters or outright left the group because of her, so 7 isn’t even everyone because it doesn’t include people she’d already driven out that i couldn’t contact. for reference, this server only had roughly 30 people. even if the number of total members was bigger, 7+ still feels like a lot
i tried to take this to the mods of the server again, but (and this is where i’m unsure if i misstepped) i thought it would be right to bring it up to the mods of a separate, larger server that all of us were in together as well. this server had closed to 50-60 members. in my head, if this person has harassed over half a dozen people like this it’d be silly to assume its only a problem in one group, and even if it wasn’t a problem in this larger server it would be better to make them aware of it so they could keep an eye out
the mods in both servers weren’t happy with me, through. even when all 7 people tried to give testimony, both teams claimed there wasn’t enough evidence to support harassment and that they’d talk to her about it, but this didn’t warrant any further action. keep in mind again i’d already had to go to the mods about this same person before, so they weren’t unaware that this happened to me and they had tried talking to her already. then they told me that it was inappropriate of me to bring this up in a server that wasn’t necessarily involved, and that the 7 of us were ganging up against her and bullying her. and i, especially, had been unfairly targeting her
this confused me greatly! i will admit, it’s likely i’ve been snippier with X than i intended. thats on me, i struggle with tone and i have trouble masking my frustration, but i have never once gone out of my way to make her feel bad. she has a generalized anxiety disorder or some such, and before i realized how many people had this issue with her i had been avoiding her for months. i have no idea what i could have said to her that was taken as bullying, because i haven’t been talking to her, period. when i see her in channels i just mute the channel until it’s passed, ive seriously done everything i could to minimize contact because i figured it was a personal issue. i asked both the mods and her directly, in dms, for examples or screenshots of what i said or did so i could adjust my behavior, and i never got shown any. i still as of typing this don’t know what i did to warrant that being said
the mods said they would give her a warning, but they gave me a warning as well, that if i continued like this i would be booted from both servers. they insisted to me again that i’d been clearly bullying her (did not provide examples) and i never should have brought it up to the other server and gotten them involved. i admit i think they might be right on that last point, but i am iffy. i had (honestly still have) justifiable reason to think X is an unsafe person to be around. she pushes people out of the community and cries and gets meek if she’s ever confronted on it in a way that’s distinctly guilt trippy and makes it hard to communicate. i have previously tried to resolve my issues with her in private and she was never receptive nor did she ever accept accountability, or change her actions. if her target calls her out she just starts doing it to someone else. it’s not like her being in a different server suddenly means she’s a different person. if someone like that is in your server, even if you don’t have “proof” that it’s happened in your group, wouldn’t you want to know about it? they kept insisting it had nothing to do with them and it was wrong of me to get them involved. i kind of think this is a cowardly policy to have, that you won’t act on or acknowledge harassment from your members unless it happens right in front of you and is blindingly obvious, but i don’t know
to be clear, i think X is an asshole, so that’s not what i’m asking about. anxiety disorder or not, she is frankly too old and has done this too many times for me to believe it’s unintentional. even if it is unintentional, she’s still hurting people and makes no effort to change. but i’m wondering if i’m an asshole for bringing it into another server. should i have just kept it in the first group?
What are these acronyms?

Hihi! I love your writing for the yan!rise turtles! I'm not sure if you take requests, but, may I request a post about the yandere turtles reacting to or interacting with a s/o who copes with the stress of their kidnapping by singing? The songs I think of would be like musical style songs like ballads that really convict emotions.
If you don't take requests that's totally fine! I hope you're having a great day/afternoon/night!
A/N, not important: This isn't as Yan as I wanted it to be, but this would literally be like, the optimal situation for all of them. If it sucks majorly, just send me another ask, and I'll edit it to make it more dark. Thank you for requesting, you literally requested like a minute before I closed them you lucky duck. If you're ever curious about requesting, you can check my pinned post which has my requesting rules linked. I recommend you always check that before requesting. I'm trying to push out as many as I can because I want to clean out my inbox before I post the 100/200 follower special. It's impressive how fast these can go once I stop being such a lazy prick. Posts are probbles gonna be a bit shorter for a while, my apologies. Any criticism is welcome, constructive or not. This is supposed to be a gender neutral reader, so if I screwed up somewhere, please tell me.
-Ollie
Tw: Themes of being kidnapped, obsessive behavior, isolation(Donnie), yandere themes, coping mechanisms
Words: 639
Summary: The Yan! ROTTMNT turtles deal with a S/O that sings to cope with being kidnapped.
Mikey:
Is intrigued.
Will usually try and hang around while you’re singing, finding your voice soothing. Even if you sound like a screaming goat, he still loves it. You’re perfect, and so is your voice.
Encourages it as well.
Not only does he love to hear you sing, but he also recognizes it as a healthier coping mechanism.
When you’re singing, even if it’s a really sad song, you’re not really fighting him or using some destructive coping mechanism. 
Has you sing while he draws. Feels it brings you both closer together, the both of you making a form of art. Yours just happens to be intangible.
Records it when he can and shows off your singing to his brothers.
Is very proud of you and your talent
Pretends it’s not a trauma response/a coping mechanism.
He is well aware that it is, but he likes to pretend it isn’t
Donnie:
Either sits you in his lab with him, or records you while you sing in his room.
Since those are the two main places you’re going to be, he’s able to almost always listen.
Plays the tapes of you singing when you are either refusing to speak to him, or he’s punishing you via isolation and is unable to listen to you in person.
If you sing more musical style songs, he will 100% try to duet with you, especially if it’s a love song.
Will just tell you to sing sometimes. If he gets overwhelmed, and needs some form of stimulation, he goes to you and just sits in front of you and demands you to sing.
Gets incredibly huffy if you refuse.
On the flip side, he can also get extremely irritated if you’re singing for too long or if it’s distracting him or something.
Will demand you either shut up or make you go into your little isolation room to sing since it’s soundproof.
Raph:
Just a friendly reminder for Raph’s before I get yelled at. You might not actually be smaller than him, or weaker than him, but he very much sees you that way.
Anyways, he finds it cute that you sing to deal with your stress.
You’re already so fragile and weak, but you sing to cope too?
Now that’s just plain adorable.
It’s just proof that you need him. Your mind is too feeble to deal with the stress head on.
You need him to take care of you, and he’s happy to listen to your little performances.
Will scoop you into his arms(or drag you towards him if you’re bigger) and hold you tight, having you sing away while you're stuck with him.
Doesn’t understand why you stopped singing after he grabbed you.
He’s only helping after all.
Leo:
Sits criss-cross applesauce in front of you as you sing.
Very much appreciates and likes it.
Mikey mentioned offhandedly it being your coping mechanism, and Leo thought it was a really pretty one.
Begs Donnie to figure out how to cleanly record your voice without you knowing.
He wanted to listen to you sing while he’s on patrol or in battle.
Like Donnie, would try his best to sing along.
Or hum along since he doesn't want to disrupt you too much.
Usually drops what he’s doing to come listen to you, gives you all his attention.
It’s unnerving, but he doesn't want to miss a single moment with you.
Especially not when he finds your voice such a gift.
Has you sing before you both go to sleep, likes to pull you close to his chest and bury his face into your neck as you do so.
Is incredibly conflicted, he wants to show off your voice to his brothers, but at the same time, he wants to be the only one to be able to hear you.

You are enough
Summary
Aziraphale wants to surprise his lover by bringing him his daily dose of coffee at the flower shop and is surprised to find the store closed. With Muriel's help, he learns more about the scars of Crowley's past and may be able to help him heal.
Notes
Our bookseller and our florist learn to know each other a little better...

Aziraphale put on his jacket, hung the small "Closed" sign on his door, and left the bookshop to cross the street to Give Me Coffee Or Give Me Death. He had decided not to open, at least for the morning, and instead to supply a certain florist with caffeine.
With his hand on the door of the coffee shop, he stopped and noticed that the flower shop was not open. There was no stall of fresh plants and flowers, and there seemed to be no movement inside.
Instinctively, he shot a questioning look at Nina through the window, pointing to the flower shop, but Nina shook her head and shrugged.
Aziraphale walked up to the shop and saw a small sign on the door, "Closed for today."
Surprise turned to slight concern, as his lover hadn't mentioned it at all, even though they'd spent the evening together the day before. Aziraphale dared to knock lightly on the door.
"He's not in."
He looked up in the direction of the voice and saw Muriel leaning out of the window as they added, "I'll be right down."
A few seconds later, Crowley's adopted sibling had opened the door and invited the bookseller into the shop.
Aziraphale, now genuinely concerned, immediately asked, "Is he all right? Where is he?"
Muriel put a hand on his arm and said quietly, "Calm down. I'll answer your questions right away, but first I need to explain something to you."
Aziraphale nodded and Muriel continued, "I know Crowley told you about his childhood and his history. The major lasting consequence for him is not the fear of abandonment, although that is one - I speak from experience - no, the major lasting consequence for him is the feeling of inadequacy. I'm not going to go into the details of how he was abandoned, because that's his story to tell, but you should know that this is his deepest wound. And when that scar opens up, he's in what we refer to as one of his bad days. He isolates himself and usually doesn't talk to anybody. Not even me."
Aziraphale, very sad for Crowley, asked them, "And is there any way I can support him, anything I can do?"
Muriel gave him a long, silent look before replying, "Maybe it will be different with you, so I'll tell you where I think he is. For as long as I can remember, don't ask me why, that's for him to tell, Crowley has found solace in ducks."
She couldn't help smiling at the stunned look on the bookseller's face and added, "You heard me, Crowley has a passion for ducks. He's inexhaustible on the subject. But I digress. I was saying that he finds solace in them, and that's probably why he's in Saint James Park. There's a particular spot not far from the pond with a bench near the Blue Bridge, and that's usually where you'll find him."
Aziraphale nodded and said eagerly, "I'll go there."
Muriel held him back and said gently, "We haven't really had time to talk since you and Crowley... well, you know what I mean. But I wanted to tell you..."
Aziraphale interrupted, "I promise I won't hurt him."
Muriel shook their head and replied, "Oh, that? I'm sure of that, right from the start. I was going to say, don't let him push you away. Be patient."
Aziraphale nodded and said softly, "I promise," then turned to leave when they stopped him by tugging at his sleeve and the next second held him close and said in a whisper, "Thank you."
Aziraphale, unaccustomed to this kind of display of affection, patted Muriel awkwardly on the back, then Muriel stepped back and chuckled slightly before saying, "You and Crowley really are alike.
Just under half an hour later, Aziraphale arrived at Saint James Park, and thanks to Muriel's directions, it didn't take him long to find the spot in question, pleased to see that they had been right.
Crowley was indeed sitting on the bench across from the pond, and unfortunately, even from a distance, Aziraphale could see that it was indeed a bad day.
He continued on his way and sat down next to the florist without saying anything.
Crowley immediately whispered, "Aziraphale, I know it was Muriel who told you where to find me, but I'm sure they also told you that I want to be alone."
Aziraphale nodded and replied quietly, "I know they told me, but I won't say anything and I won't make a sound, so it's like you're alone."
Then he leaned back comfortably and looked straight ahead without saying anything more. 
After a few seconds of silence, Crowley huffed and muttered, "Suit yourself..."
Aziraphale watched the people pass by, saying nothing, not moving, when suddenly Crowley muttered, "Don't give them bread, you idiot. Ducks shouldn't eat bread."
Then he stood up, and Aziraphale saw him walk over to a man at the water's edge who seemed to be throwing breadcrumbs to the ducks swarming around. Amused, he watched as Crowley scolded the poor man, showing him a small bag in his hand. The other man walked away with an exasperated look under Crowley's murderous gaze. Then Aziraphale saw the florist turn toward the water, crouch down, and start throwing things at the ducks, but he couldn't tell what it was from where he sat.
After a few moments, Crowley returned and sat down on the bench again, this time a little closer to Aziraphale, who still said nothing and waited patiently.
Suddenly, he felt Crowley's hand on his, resting between them on the bench. Aziraphale still said nothing, simply returning his hand under Crowley's, whose fingers were almost desperately intertwined with his own.
"I told you I lived in an orphanage, but what I didn't tell you was how I got there. I warn you, it's worthy of Dickens." He gave a self-deprecating chuckle and continued, "I was purely and simply dumped at the gates of the orphanage on what seemed like the day I was born. With only a chain bracelet on my wrist, engraved with Anthony's name."
"Is your name Anthony?"
"Yes, but since that's the name my parents who abandoned me gave me, I don't like to wear it."
Aziraphale frowned and asked, "Then why Crowley?"
Crowley replied, "It was the name of the gardener who took me under his wing, and since he was the closest thing I had to a father, I chose that name, which in fact became my given name. Only Muriel sometimes calls me Anthony to tease me or when they're angry."
Crowley sighed and continued, "Anyway, the reason I'm here today is because sometimes I wake up in the morning and wonder why. What did I or didn't I have that made my parents decide to leave me. Why did they do that? Why did my mother decide to bring me into the world and just abandon me without giving me a chance to show her who I could be? Wasn't I enough as a baby, as a son?"
Aziraphale squeezed Crowley's hand in his, inwardly devastated for him, for his pain, and replied softly, "Of course you were. Of course you are. There was and is nothing wrong with you. Believe me, I know a thing or two about feeling inadequate when it comes to my family. Aside from my mother, the rest of my family, including my father, made it clear that I would never be enough. And then I left and realized that the problem wasn't me. I don't have to prove anything. You don't have to prove anything. I'm sure if I ask Muriel, they'll go on and on about why they love you as much as I l-"
Aziraphale paused, aware of what he had almost confessed. Not that he wasn't absolutely sure of the nature of his feelings for the florist, but now was not the time for such a confession as he was trying to comfort him.
Which didn't stop him from seeing in Crowley's eyes that the florist hadn't missed his almost slip of the tongue.
Aziraphale coughed, then continued, "I have no doubt that this wound will never go away, but when the scar opens, think of the people you have around you now who love and appreciate you for what you are, for who you are."
He squeezed Crowley's hand a little tighter in his own, giving the florist time to think about his words.
After a few minutes, Crowley nodded and turned to him, asking with a small smile on his lips, "Are you an angel?"
Aziraphale could not suppress a small laugh before replying, "I can assure you, no, I am not."
Crowley insisted, "But you work miracles, because for the first time in a long time, I don't feel like moping around all day."
Aziraphale said gently, "It's not a miracle, but I'm very happy for you. How about brunch at the Ritz to celebrate?"
"The Ritz?! Wait, don't tell me this has something to do with your... rich family?"
Aziraphale shook his head and replied in a proud little tone, "Well, no, to the boss I'm just Mr. Fell, bookseller, and incidentally he's the only person I agreed to sell two books to, so in payment, instead of the outrageous sum he offered me, I asked him for a table for life at the Ritz."
Crowley first made round eyes, then burst out laughing, much to the delight of Aziraphale, who considered it another small victory.
"Shall we go to the Ritz?"
Aziraphale replied, "Only if you're driving. I came by taxi."
Crowley stood and exclaimed, "Deal."
Still holding Aziraphale's hand, he started to move forward when Aziraphale stopped him, "Wait, I want to know something. What did you feed the ducks?"
Crowley proudly pulled the bag from his pocket and shook it in front of Aziraphale, who saw small green grains dancing inside.
"This is what you feed the ducks. Frozen peas. They love it, and it's good for them."
Aziraphale couldn't resist and, standing on tiptoe, he planted a light kiss on the lips of the florist, who, as they walked away, asked, "What was that for?"
Aziraphale casually replied, "Because you're so sweet!"
"Aziraphale!"
Only a chuckle came back to Crowley as they walked toward the Bentley.
**********
Aziraphale moaned as he closed his eyes around the last spoonful of chocolate cake before exclaiming, "Scrumptious!"
When he opened his eyes, he saw Crowley, chin resting on his hand, watching him with a small smile on his lips.
"What's the matter? Do I have something on my face?"
Crowley shook his head and, without breaking his smile, said softly, "I think I found something as comforting as feeding the ducks."
Aziraphale asked in a confused tone, "What?" 
"Watching you eat. You enjoy it so much, it's fascinating."
Aziraphale wiped his mouth, unable to hide the slight blush in his cheeks at Crowley's compliment, and the florist then took his hand, pressing a lingering kiss to the palm before saying softly, "Thank you...angel."
Blushing even more, Aziraphale replied, "You're welcome."
As they gazed at each other in silence, ducks and desserts were forgotten, and all that remained was the fragile feeling that passed between them at that moment.
It didn't have a name yet, but it was there, and that was all that mattered.
_________
Still not beta'd
Still not my native language
Still hoping you'll enjoy this story  🥰
Still thanking you for bearing with me 😝

Yandere Alphabet w/ Chrollo Lucilfer
Tumblr media
Affection — how do they show their love and affection?
He lets you go outside and take you wherever you want. He will always be by your side with his arm or hand on you.
Blood — how messy are they willing to get when it comes to their darling?
Very messy. If anyone disrespects you or touches you (besides troupe members) he will either send the troupe to kill them or go after them himself. And it won't be quick it will be long and painful.
Cruelty — how would they treat their darling once abducted?
He would isolate you from the outside world an the only people you can see is him and the troupe. He is a bit condescending but he cares for you <3
Darling — aside from abduction, would they do anything against their darling’s will?
He tries not to but he would. He would invade your space even if you told him off. He would forcefully kiss you, I can kinda see himself forcing himself on you but h really wouldn't want to.
Exposed — how vulnerable are they when it comes to their darling?
Not vulnerable. No matter how long you've been together you will never see him open up. He may show you 'sympathy' when your crying or felling down.
Fight — how would they feel if their darling fought back?
He wouldn't like it at all. He wants you to submit to him so you fighting back against him is upsetting. He grows angry and upset but doesn't show it. He'll just have to chain you up to the bed <3
Game — is this a game to them? How much would they enjoy watching their darling try to escape?
It's not a game to him. He loves you in his own special way so you trying to escape upsets him. But it's not like you have many chances to escape since he watches you whenever he can or one of the troupe members.
Hell — what would be their darling’s worst experience with them?
When you pushed him over the edge and he hurt you. He chained you up so you couldn't move and blind folded you and plugged your ears so you couldn't hear or see what was happening around you. He left you there for a couple days and then came back to check on you. You didn't do whatever you did to upset him after that.
Ideals — what kind of future do they have in mind for their darling?
You, him, and the troupe being together as a big family. Somewhere where you have everything and no one can touch you.
Jealousy — do they get jealous? How do they handle it?
He's not so much jealous just possessive. Someone is talking to you that's cool, he's just gonna walk behind you and wrap an arm around your waist and give a friendly glare to them.
Kisses — how do they act around or with their darling?
He's loving in private and most of the time in public. He usually will have you sit on his lap while he reads. Whispers dirty or sweet things in your ear no matter where or who your with. But sometimes when he has to he can be a little harsh and condescending.
Love letters — how would they go about approaching their darling?
Try the normal way like taking you on dates and stuff. If that doesn't work he's gonna break into your home in the middle of the night and take you. He'll bring some of your stuff so you don't feel too lonely of!
Mask — are their true colors drastically different from the way they act around everyone else?
A little yeah. Around som people he can be more harsh and cold. Like with the troupe he cares deeply for and has a soft side but doesn't show it too much. But with you he shows it more and is much more nicer if you behave well.
Naughty — how would they punish their darling?
Isolation and stripping you of your senses. Nothing worse than not having anyone to talk to and not being able to see, hear, or move. On top of that not being able to eat or drink. Also in isolation you would be on the complete dark and it will be freezing cold with nothing to warm yourself.
Oppression — how many rights would they take away from their darling?
Most of your rights. I mean it's not like you need them.
Patience — how patient are they with their darling?
He's pretty patient. He understands that you may be distressed and scared. He'll give you as much time as you need to warm up to him.
Quite — if their darling dies, leaves, or successfully escapes, would they ever be able to move on?
If darling dies he'll shed a tear and tear a city up like he did with Uvo. He will be upset I mean he's the leader of the phantom troupe how could he let this happen? If they leave/escape he'll search for you with the troupe's help and you it won't be pretty for you if they find you.
Regret — would they ever feel guilty about abducting their darling?
No. Why would he feel bad?
Stigma — what brought about this side of them (childhood, curiosity, etc)?
I can't really say 😭 It could be childhood considering it wasn't good but I don't want to say it was that. I wanna say its because in his eyes if he wants something he's going to take it. (God Chrollo why do you have to be so complex)
Tears — how do they feel about seeing their darling scream, cry, and/or isolate themselves?
He doesn't want to hear you scream at him or yell and fight back. He would hate for you to isolate yourself but it wouldn't really work because he'll just force himself in your space.
Unique — would they do anything different from the classic yandere?
Well he isn't near you 24/7 because of troupe business and doesn't show his obsession but don't be fooled your always on his mind.
Vice — what weakness can their darling exploit in order to escape?
The fact y'all don't stay in the same place long and Chrollo can get really busy. But someone in the troupe is watching over you when possible so 🤷🏻‍♀️
Wit’s end — would they ever hurt their darling?
Yes. If you didn't listen to him or fighting back against him and the troupe or disrespecting the troupe.
Xoanon — how much would they revere or worship their darling?
He doesn't so much worship you but he does think of you highly. Out of everyone he choose you because you were better than the rest.
Yearn — how long do they pine after their darling before they snap?
If you catch his eye then he'll take you. It may take 2 weeks or 2 days but if he wants you he's going to have you.
Zenith — would they ever break their darling?
He probably would but he wouldn't enjoy it. He wished you were compliant on your own and you still kept your shine but if push comes to shove then he has no choice.
I'm not gonna lie I was struggling with this lmao. Like for me he's complicated to write and so he might be ooc but I tried 😭

good afternoon/evening/night, I don’t know when you will read this :) I would like to make a request from you, it’s a bit late topic, I agree. But could you write about how the antagonists of season 3 (Spec, Dorian, Sikorsky, Doyle and Yanagi) will react to the fact that a shy reader gave them a valentine and chocolate (made by the reader himself), and ran away very embarrassed? I would be very grateful if you write this. Best wishes to you ! :)
Of course I can! Once again, very sorry for how long it took me to get to these lmao, I can say that I'm officially off hiatus but progress will be slow until I catch up.
Doyle:
He's so confused. What on earth are you doing?? Why did you just shove this box of random shit and some flowers into his hands and then run off like he had the bubonic plague?? Why are you so red??? What on earth is going on?? More importantly, why the actual fuck did you say 'Kyaaa~!' as you were leaving?? Are you cringe? Does he need to worry about you being cringe?
Give him a second, the man is a bit stunted when it comes to being around normal people. Been in the assassin game too long. When he opens to box to see some chocolates and reads the note with the valentine, then he'll put two and two together. Eventually. He may or may not have to look it up first before he puts two and two together.
Expect a sudden appearance at your house. A creepy one. Bro rocks up outside your window in the middle of the night like "hey hi hello do you have feelings for me??" and once you confirm he's going to tease you about it to the point where it's almost him just straight up being mean, but it's all he knows how to do. You might cry though, just a warning.
After all that? He barely acknowledges that you confessed to him. You can bring it up, and he'll just shrug and give you a "Yeah? What about it?" because he read that being aloof and uninterested can actually make him seem a bit more interesting to you. You're going to have to be direct with him, because otherwise he just won't understand what you want.
Sikorsky:
Run away all you want, you literally will not be able to outrun him. His legs are long and he's got the endurance. The man is scary, and he will get you to look him dead in the eyes and tell him with your words, because shoving a box and some flowers into his hands and then running away is rude and childish, and you're both grown adults.
He doesn't need a second, he's not dumb, he's had people confess to him before. He's pretty and he knows it, which makes his ego about 10x worse. He knows the moment he gets handed the box of chocolates and the roses. As mentioned, he'll hunt you down and make you use your words.
"Go on, say that you love me, I wanna hear you say it!" He's so mean about it, but he knows when to stop pushing. As soon as you admit that you like him, he'll tease you a little, feed his own ego a bit, and then be perfectly happy to move on to whatever happens next.
Oh he'll bring it up just to fluster you. He's a bit sadistic, so that is... Well, fairly frequently. Eventually you'll stop being as flustered about it, but still, he'll find a way to turn your confession into something he can use to tease and poke fun. Eventually though, it becomes something he looks back on fondly, and is so, so happy that you both remember it so well.
Yanagi:
A valentine? How childish. He's a grown man, he doesn't need this! You can run away if you want, he won't chase you. He knows you'll be back, and when you do come back, he's going to make you say what you feel properly, because otherwise, he's not likely to give you the time of day. Shy or no, simply running away is shameful and cowardly in his eyes.
He knows, he grew up with that culture, there's no need to tell him, though he outright refuses to touch the chocolates until you've come to him properly and talked to him instead of just running away all flustered. You're going to lose points for that approach in his eyes.
His judgmental and stuck-up ass is constantly going to demean you for just running away from him. He faced down Yujiro Hanma of all people, and he didn't run away! You've got no excuse, because clearly he's not nearly that terrifying! (He is, the little freak)
After the initial shaming and subsequent "Now do it again, but properly!" then that's pretty much it. Something he'll try to push out of his mind, which is a small mercy on his end because otherwise the relationship simply wouldn't happen purely because of that.
Dorian:
Awe, well isn't that adorable! And you put so much effort into this too! So flustered you couldn't even look him in the eyes before you took off! But you're forgetting that he's incredibly fast, even in his advanced age, so he absolutely simply let you go. If he'd wanted to catch you, he would.
Oh he's aware of what this means! And he's not above returning the favor either! As long as you don't ask too many questions about where he gets your gifts from, it's smooth sailing! He'd appreciate it if you questioned him simply being in your home one night even less, especially with how happy you'd clearly be with him returning your feelings!
Oh he's going to savor those chocolates! You worked so hard on them, and he's always had a bit of a sweet-tooth! As for the flowers, he's going to dry and preserve them, maybe even have them turned into a fragrance that he can wear on date night.
After all that, you really expect to stay single? Oh no, he's putting a claim on that as soon as physically possible, he just needs to make sure that you won't questions the suspicious things that happen around him. Like, you know, your neighbors all of the sudden not looking you in the eyes, your boss giving you less of a hard time. It's just because you're so happy, and not because he threatened them, it's definitely because you're so radiant!
Spec:
He's highly amused and he's going to do nothing to hide that fact. You're trying to run away? Oh, honey, he's already outpaced you and is ready to snatch you up and drag you off to go eat the chocolates you worked so hard on!
He's aware and he thinks it's both the most adorable and hilarious thing in existence. Did you really think he'd just let you run off on him? Oh no, nono, you're gonna stay here and say that you love him to his face and not through some letter, though he's still going to keep it. If he ever goes back to jail, he's going to hang it on the wall or the ceiling near his bed so it can be the first thing he sees when he wakes up.
He's going to tease you about it until you're so red you envy a stop-sign. And then he'll tease you a bit more, just for good measure. It's really hard to tell if he's just teasing you or if he's being genuine though, since his sense of humor is so skewed.
After all that? He lives in your house. You confessed, you gave him food and flowers. He's like a fucked up stray cat that has taken the small display of kindness as an invitation to just live in your home for however long he pleases. You're going to have a really hard time getting rid of him.

Day 7 of 31 of the yandere month May challenge. These two yanderes work together well, so they're pretty scary.
Also a reminder to everyone this is the last month you can request a specific type of reader for free. After this month it becomes commission work. Ask any questions in either DM or on my asks/requests.
Your boss has been giving you a hard time. Vi and Caitlyn hear about and are not happy, they make the night all about you.(they also deal with your boss)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yandere!Vi and Yandere!Caitlyn Kiramman SMUT
Tumblr media
"I dont fucking care! If it's not done by Friday, you're off the team! Got it!?"
You nodded your head, got you hate this man. He's the embodiment of everything you hate. He stands there and glares at you before turning away in anger, you hear him mumble about 'idiot' while he walks away.
Slowly you turn around, turning your head up to stop the warm water dripping down your face. You walk out, it was the end of the day and Friday is only 2 days from now. You can work on the project at home, you hope your lovers would let you pay attention. They like to distract you from work.
Once your home you realise you see two coats, two pairs of shoes, and most importantly two women in the kitchen. Upon hearing the door close both women look up, a set of grey and a set of blue eyes look at you. The hold nothing but adoration, love, happiness, and kindness. Both of your girlfriends love you so much.
So it brought them both pain when you break down crying. Tears spill down you face, warm tears, refusing to stop. Vi is the first to run to you, she picks you up and holds you. She brings you into the kitchen, her face went from one of love to one of pure disgust.
Vi always has some sort of snark, smile, or relatively happy look on her face. Of course that's only for you and Caitlyn. Now, oh right now, she's absolutely pissed, and not afraid to show it.
"Honey? What's wrong, are you okay?"
You didn't say a word, it took you a good second to finally regain the ability to properly think. You push yourself off of Vi, Vi herself had switched back to a smile. She doesn't want to frighten you, poor you.
The three of you sit down and start talking. You explain what's been going on, specifically with your boss. You know that Caitlyn has more than enough money to support you and Vi, and she's never abuse that. You just wanted to be able to do things, and having a job was the best way. Your job wasn't always this demanding, it's your boss that's the problem.
While you were talking you didn't notice the slow changes in both Vi and Caitlyn's faces. They couldn't look at you properly, not right now at least. Both girls had one goal currently, and that was to kill you boss. How dare he yell at you!? Does he not know who you are, who your lovers are? They could ruin him with a snap of their fingers.
"G-girls. I'm going to go call someone real quick."
Vi didn't say anything else and stood up. She walked into the bedroom and called Jinx. The two have been having a good relationship so far. Their bond growing stronger, and therapy is helping too. While you sat on the couch and let Caitlyn coddle you, Vi was calling her sister for a favor.
"Hey, hey yeah. Yeah I need a favor, someone hasn't been all to kind to [name] I was wondering if you could deal with him. No- no I don't care what happens to him. Kill him if you want, just make him understand not to hurt her. Yeah, yeah I'll give you his info in a second."
Caitlyn had so many ideas stewing in her mind, how dare he. How dare your moronic, disgusting, disrespectful boss, EVER yell at you. Men like him need to be put down, maybe cut their balls off, like you would a dog or a cat. Teach him a lesson, he obviously doesn't see a goddess when it's in front of him.
Vi walks in with a smile, she had a good- great idea. You poor thing, you've been hurt so badly by your boss. You need all the love and care both of your very willing girlfriends can provide.
Vi sneaks over to Caitlyn with a smirk, whispering her plan into her ear. An equally devious smirk appears on Caitlyns face. Oh this, this is going to be fun, very fun. Caitlyn smiles sweetly at you, she gives you the smile that tells you many things. That she loves you, that she adores you, that she'd kill for you, that she want to fuck you so hard it hurts.
You assumed the latter was her choice.
"Sweetie, why don't you go undress in the bedroom, hm? Vi and I will be there soon, we're just going to grab a few toys."
Caitlyn stands up and give you a small peck on the lips before leaving with Vi. To large smirks on their face as they walk away. Their entire plan is to fuck you so raw you can't go to work, then when you do, your boss(if he's even alive) will have a whole new personality.
You walk to the bedroom, your face burning. Other parts of your body started to burn too, burn with need, with want. You didn't realise how pent up you were until now, god this was frustrating for you. You know your lovers, they love to tease.
After about ten minutes Caitlyn and Vi walk in. Vi has her boxers on, she also has a belt with a harness attached to it. The entire thing makes it look like thin, black(stylish) suspenders. Caitlyn though, oh she's wearing baby blue lingere. It looks so soft and pretty, you want to tear it off her, so very badly.
"You look so cute princess! I'm glad you were smart enough to only wear a bra and panties, if you wore anything else, well I would more than likely tear it!"
Vi always sounds so enthusiastic right before sex, you know it's her way of showing her interest. It's just scary sometimes, I mean the look on her face and the way she's talking are two very, very different things. She sounds happy, sweet, and kind, she looks like she wants to fuck you in front of hundreds of people and let them call you dirty things for her amusement.
"Mhm. Indeed, our beautiful little wife has learned, finally. I'm glad I dont need to worry about Vi destroying all your clothes anymore. Now, how about you lay back for us."
It wasn't a request, no instead it was a command. Caitlyn runs a tight ship, and you've learned bratting off only fucks you over further into the future. Not that it matters, you find it fun. You tilt your head and ask her to make you. A smile- dark, a dark smile finds it's way to her face. Caitlyn walks to you, she gently grabs a handful of your hair and pulls. A warning, she's warning you.
You know, you know all about her warnings. First a hair pull, then she'll bite your neck softly, lastly she grab you by the throat. Not roughly, but not soft either. You look up at her with faux innocence, you tilt you head in an attempt to feign innocence. You hear a deep growl from behind you, Vi. She's getting impatient.
Vi is the easier one to please out of the two, she just wants to make you scream. That's isn't hard to do, you just have to hit the right spots.
"I advise you to listen to Caitlyn, just because this night is about you doesn't mean we wont remind you how to listen. Dont test."
You decide it's best to save the brat for another day, you know their doing this to make you feel good. You told them everything, you're not surprised they had this cooked up. You nod slowly, you watch Caitlyn pull back, only for her to push you onto the bed. You lay back, spreading your legs and moving your arms above your head.
You know how they like it. You watch Caitlyn move and sit in a chair, it has gold trimmings and is a satin red. Vi smirks, this is how it goes. From now on, the words 'Vi' and 'Caitlyn' don't exist. It's daddy, and mistress. Honorifics, the things you call them by as a reminder of how they own you.
You watch Vi pull something from a box she had with her. A bright red, 8 inch long strap on. She looks between you and the strap, she sees the reaction on your face. Nothing but pure horny bliss, that's what she likes to see. If she saw that you were scared, she would have used a smaller one. One that would better fit you and your interests.
Vi attaches the strap to her, that's what the harness is for after all. She takes a few steps to you, she puts gets on the bed, her hips cornering you. You lay spread out, and she lays on top of you, look down. She takes your hands and cuffs them together, she. The harness has a belt attached to it, the cuffs were attached to the belt. Vi grins, she loves seeing you helpless, seeing that you need her.
You look over to Caitlyn, she's staring you both intently. She wants to see who will react first, if you say something, or will you meekly open your legs and let Vi have her fun. Caitlyn shakes with anticipation, making herself wetter than before. At some point Vi cant take it anymore, she grabs one of your legs and puts it over her shoulder. She dips the straps tip into you, nothing more, just the tip. She wants to see you shake, shake in pleasure, in pain, she wants to see all of it.
You jump and shake at the sudden intrusion, you body feels amazing and Vi just looks at you. She watches you twitch and shake as she slowly slips in and out ofr your pussy. She wants to see every reaction, every movement. Vi can't get enough of seeing you like this, she needs it, she becomes feral thinking about all the things she's going to do to you. Her pace quickened, hips starting to jam closer and closer to your. She needs this, badly.
Caitlyn watches you two with intense excitement. She loves seeing you like this, and it wasn't like she isn't getting any please out of this two. She had put a bullet vibrator in Vi, and she had a vibrator on herself too. She has the controls to Vis and hers, she turns Vis up by 1 and watches her shake. Caitlyn can see just how much shes getting off on this, and it makes her shiver thinking about it.
"Vi honey, if you want to cum at any point tonight, you're going to have to make our darling scream. I want to hear it loud and clear. Got that?"
"Mm, y-yes ma'am. Make her scream so I can c-cum."
Vi is absolutely losing it right not, her hips keep slamming into yours. No matter how many times you shake and spasm, your entire body is under her control. Vi on the other hand is under Caitlyns control, she knows Vi is chasing her oragsm, and hell get it. As long as Caitlyn gets to hear you scream. Vis thrusts get more and more manic, she's shaking, helping you into your orgasm, while chasing her own. God she needs it, so badly.
Your breath starts to shake more, you and Vi had changed positions a while ago, you are on your back and Vi has you holding onto her for dear life. You start scratching down Vis back, be it the pain of pleasure, you can take if anymore. You start crying and mumbling incoherently, you don't know what you're saying, and neither do Vi or Caitlyn. All that matter is you being absolutely destroyed, and you look oh so close.
"Vi, baby, I want you both to cum with me. Hold on just a bit longer babe, and Vi, I'll turn the vibe up."
You didn't know if you could hold on, it just felt so, so good. How the hell are you going to hold back like this!? At this rate you'll start breaking rules, one of those being don't cum unless given permission. You start hitting Vis back, hoping she slows down. You need her to or you wont last any longer, although you know Vi isn't going to listen. Even if you could talk properly, which you cannot.
"Fuck- cum! Both you of y-you, fuck!"
Permission, that's what you needed, and finally you were given it. Your body convulses against Vis, who does the exact same. You to shake and rock against eachother. Slowly you both come down from your highs. Caitlyn turns the bullet Vibrator off and turns hers off too. Vi slowly pulls out of you, she sees your freshly fucked face and almost laughs. You look so cute, all dumb like this.
"You both did so well for me, but now. Vi honey, please move. It's my turn to torture [name] body, and I intend to work thoroughly.
You look at her in your blissed out state, you should have known. Both if them want your body, they just like to take it in different ways.

Friends to Lovers headcanons for Cliff :’) tysm!!
Cliff Burton Friends to Lovers Headcanons
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
————————————————————————
- Credit to the images owners - Please be specific about who is wanted in requests -
Masterlist Navigation
• It’s very easy and tempting to become friends with Cliff despite him looking like the type of person most parents warn their kids from staying away from. Once you look past his music taste and long hair the majority of people would easily be able to see a genuine guy underneath who is pretty hard not to befriend.
• He can usually tell early on into getting to know someone whether he’s going to invest a lot of time in them in the future. He’s good at spotting decent people so once he’s met you and you’ve bonded over something (even if it’s quite small) he’s going to be coming back for another conversation whenever he can.
• Cliff is a great person to talk to, especially if you have a problem that you need to get out. He listens really well and will usually just sit and wait until you’ve said everything you needed to get out before interrupting or offering advice so that he understands the whole situation, and usually his advice is much calmer than the approach you would have originally considered.
• When either of you are having a bad day, you always seem to find comfort in each other. The two of you don’t even need to talk to each other, the comfort he gets from a comfortable silence with you naturally makes him drawn to your company more often.
• It doesn’t really matter who gets feelings for who first since the two of you have grown so close, both emotionally and physically. He starts to do things for you and looking out for you all the time which means when he does start to like you it’s hardly noticeable to you.
• If Cliff were to start to express his feelings for you it would be through lingering touches, which you would notice he wouldn’t do to anyone else. He would also try to be near you as much as possible and would even start to bring up random subjects just as an excuse to talk to you for longer or be alone with you more often.
• The people around you such as friends and the other members of Metallica would absolutely notice that you and Cliff liked each other faster than either of you would. They’re around you so often it would be hard for them not to notice and they may even go out of their way to push you two closer together while also making childish jokes about it.
• When the two of you finally confess to each other it would be in a pretty relaxed and private setting, or at least as private as the two of you can be since Cliff always has the band’s company around. It would be a huge relief to know that you both felt the same way, and he would always appear much happier and expressive towards you afterwards.
• Cliff isn’t the type of person to play with your feelings, especially as he wouldn’t want anyone to do that sort of thing to him. He’d easily stay with you forever if you let him, and he’d calmly help you through all aspects of your life without even needing to ask him.

Today I bring you… *drumroll*
Edit: I forgot to tag the lovely artist that inspired me write these. @levionok, ask and you shall receive!
Teacher!Hob headcanons (mixed with an aftertaste of dreamling because I’m mentally ill about them)! Plus a bonus, mildly NSFWish, bit because, as much as I insist on writing sexy shit about them, I’m shy in front of an audience
Teacher Hob headcanons
Hob drives a motorcycle to university. it’s very important to me, ok? (picture him in a well worn leather jacket, distressed blue jeans and taking his helmet off/putting it on 😭💦🥴)
Hob’s outfit game slides from the most “cleans-up-nicely”, contemporary style, to the “just woke up with a migraine this morning after pulling 3 all nighters grading essays” half-made bun and T-shirt. His students can tell at what point of the school period they are depending on Mr Gadling’s looks alone.
Some of Hob’s literature students have taken to playing a game consisting of making him rant about William Shakespeare. He’s become scarily good at keeping his thoughts about the playwright to himself through the ages, and he can manage entire classes teaching his works without issue (maybe Will is still important or whatever). Still, once every blue moon, a student is able to get him riled up enough to trigger one of his signature “Shakespeare’s overrated” monologues. They have kind of a formula figured out: Bring up the topic of the bard’s possible inspirations, or the possible muse for Sonnet 130 and you’re pretty much a winner. He gets… passionate about it, to say the least.
Hob writes short quotes on the board at the beginning of his classes, hinting at the topic of the day. He makes his students try to guess it. He can be quite creative, which makes guessing more difficult. So, if they get it in the first three tries, he let’s them leave a bit earlier. As a treat.
He’s a MASTER storyteller. It’s one of the reasons why his lessons are so in demand and almost always full. His intonation, rhythm and body language are captivating. Sometimes, he’ll wear full-on costumes (with props and everything, the sweet man) to make his lessons more entertaining and interactive. Mr Gadling may be a little exotic, but that’s part of why he’s so popular at uni. (Something something, Dream’s rather private, but the pride that swells in his chest at Hob’s narrative abilities is undeniable).
Hob showed his students an antique fire weapon once (it was one of his, from the 17th century) and proceeded to baffle them after. demonstrating how to safely dismantle it, quickly put back it together, charge it and shoot it in record time. Like he’d been there when they first were made… Hey, Mr Gadling certainly has a variety of interests, huh?
So many faculty members have a crush on Mr Robert Gadling. He’s damn handsome and his easy smile melts even the coldest of hearts. He never seems to return anyone’s romantic sentiments, though. He insists there’s someone in his life already, but no one’s ever seen them?? And Hob won’t even tell their a name??? (He’s still a bit possessive about Dream’s name. It took him 600 years to get it, for god’s sake).
Cue the entire university slowly getting invested in Mr Gadling’s love life.
Bonus NSFW!
Dream enjoys visiting Hob at the uni. Sometimes, he’ll materialise in lecture halls, wait for him at the door, at the halls, at his office… Hob’s prudence is constantly hanging by a thread because Dream has taken a liking to showing up with nothing but his pitch black robe on and getting Hob to push him against the wall and maybe fuck him on his desk, if they have time.

(***NO N*zis or TERFs allowed to interact with this post or my blog*** This is a post for Norse pagans or polytheists looking to work with Odin. This is all based on my own experiences working with the all father and nothing here is to be taken as a hard fact. If your practice differs from my own that is totally fine. There will be a lot of UPG and SPG)
Tumblr media
An incomplete summary of Odin in Norse mythology.
Odin, god of war and wisdom is a key figure in the Norse myths and is involved in a lot of the stories. He is the head of the Norse gods and is called the All father, because it’s by him that all of humans were created. He is married to Frigg and together they had Baldur and Hodr. Odin also has other sons, Thor, Vali, and Vidar.
He has two ravens Huginn and Muninn, and two wolves Geri and Freki.
He only has one eye, he sacrificed his other eye by throwing it into Mimir’s well in exchange for knowledge that could better help him prevent Ragnarok.
Another famous story of his is when he hung upside down from the tree of life for nine days and nine nights to get knowledge of other worlds and to be able to know everything about the runes.
The type of magic he practices (Seiðr) was a feminine type of magic that wasn’t always looked highly on when men would participate in it. Yet our Allfather was very practiced in it.
Tumblr media
My experience working with him: One thing to know about working with Odin going in, he will be very honest and blunt. My other deities have a habit of being softer on my feelings than I’ve heard other devotees say they’ve been with them, I’m assuming because I’m very sensitive. But Odin..? He does not care. He will stop giving advice if I tell him I don’t want to hear it. But, if I ask for advice…oh boy, am I gonna get his full opinion. He is very much a father in the way he goes about things, he cares but he wants his followers to push themselves as much as they can, learning as much as you can and always growing, never staying sedentary for too long.
I have a notebook dedicated to him that I’ve been using to work on learning the runes and that seems to be the best offering to give him in my practice right now. He never misses a chance to remind me I need to get back to learning the runes too.
I always wondered why it mattered so much to him that I learn them. Eventually he told me that it was because they really would be useful in spells, and wards and making bind runes out of them is something I’m learning to do now.
He is not the easiest deity to work with, he may even push your buttons on purpose to get you to think harder on things. I’ve noticed he’s even been rude before just to see if I’d stand up for myself and set boundaries and then he’ll explain himself after. Lots of tests trials and teachings. But man, is it worth it for the immense amount of knowledge and mentorship that he can bring. All in all, I’m glad he came to me later in my practice as I might’ve been scared off from deity work if he was the first. But, I love him to pieces and hope to work with him for a long time.
Tumblr media
Offerings and associations of Odin
(Odin does not eat food so I’ve seen many people say not to give him food offerings, I disagree! Give him things that he can feed to Geri and Freki. He is known to still fill his plate and just give them bits over meals. So don’t hesitate to gift him any food offerings you would to any other Norse god)
-colors: gray, dark blue, black
- tree Imagery, Yggdrasil in particular
- raven Imagery, black feathers
- wolf Imagery
- clear quartz
- onyx
- blue goldstone
- amethyst
- carnelian
- the hermit tarot card
- the hanged man tarot card
- the four of cups tarot card
- the king of swords tarot card
- mead, wine, alcohol
- poetry (he writes poems!)
- mugwort scent/incense
- Ansuz rune ᚨ
- learn about the runes
- learn his myths
- learn useful and practical knowledge
- read books
- ask him for advice

There are many more ways to learn about him and get close to him. A great one is reading the Hávamál. If you meditate or do tarot or rune casting those are also great ways to contact him and get closer to him.
Signs he might be reaching out; seeing ravens more than usual or in non native areas, very windy days, rain, seeing his name often, feeling drawn to his mythology, seeing his tarot cards pop up often, you already work with one of his sons (I think he sent Thor to me first to soften my idea of the Norse gods and be a warm intro into their pantheon.)
He is a great god to work with, lots of work though. Odin is not for the weak minded, but he’s been so worth getting to know.

@gemini-sensei , I feel like everyone would be in actual shock after finding out about the new set of Keene twin girls.
But Daniel and Amanda would be the ones that are in the most state of shock. Daniel may not be Robby’s dad, but he has to sit down for a moment after getting the news. Amanda is right next to him, not so much in shock but in pure giddiness.
Amanda knows how scared both of them where at the news of the pregnancy in the first place. She knows Robby well enough to know how he must have been feeling. Reader was the same, to her they where the perfect little match for one another. Both of them having issues in their past, but together they worked to heal. She was there for the both of them when ever they needed it. She made sure to call or go see them when she could.
The news of them having a surprise set of twins, at the birth, just sent her over board.
She had already bought and given them multiple sets of baby clothes, toys and other baby essentials. Mostly baby girl stuff because she was one of the first to know they where having a little girl.
She is so excited that she goes out and buys a whole cart full of new clothes. She drags a still shocked Daniel with her. They buy another car seat, a two seat stroller and even another crib for when the twins would need to be separated in different once’s. The whole time Amanda is giggling, stacking the cart full of cute baby clothes. Daniel joins in, suddenly being reminded of when they had to buy clothes for a new born baby Sam.
(Ok also you can’t tell me Sam was not low-key jealous of Robby and Reader in that moment. She hasn’t had a baby yet and her parents are already spoiling Robby’s twins.😂)
When Robby and Reader invite them over not long after the Twins are born, Amanda drags Daniel into their house. Arms full of bags, Daniel and Robby bring in in the bigger things they bought for the couple. Robby is overly embarrassed but Amanda just shooshs him. She's so excited for them and the new babies.
Reader is still resting but is so happy to see them. Amanda hugs her and they talk a little. Mainly about the very stressful birth but also just the whole surprise of having a second baby. Honestly Amanda was just as shocked as Reader, she went to one of Reader's appointments with her when Robby couldn't get out of work. There was no sign of a twin let alone one being talked about during said appointment.
With that said, Reader tells Robby to bring the girls over, who have been sleeping in their bassinet in the corner. Robby gently pushes it over. Both girls are half awake and wiggling around. Both of them aren't the most talkative babies, they don't cry often or make a lot of noise. Their little eyes are open as they look around the best they can. They were only about a month or so old at this point, barely able to do much on their own.
Amanda nearly bursts when Reader lets her hold both twins at the same time. Both girls slotted between both of her arms. She makes Daniel take a crap ton of pictures of her and the twins.
Daniel holds the smallest girl and he can't help but say “She's got your nose Robby- actually they both do.” he gives Robby a small smile. It takes a lot for the boy to not tear up a little at the words. That being said the girl scrushes her nose up and whimpers. Both girls have his nose and brows, with little whisps of dark blond hair that will most likely darken over time.
“That's right, they have their daddy's nose and their mama’s little cheeks!” Amanda says as she strokes the older twins' cheeks.
God they make the prettiest little baby ever.

(Honestly I could go on and on about the family relationship Daniel and Amamda end up having with Robby and Reader. I love the idea that they become his and Reader’s surrogate family when they get older. I love Johnny but I think the LaRusso’s family dynamic is just a tad bit better.)

i usually sound weird/awkward when I send asks but anyway lets try it -- do you have thoughts on the different dynamics between davey and his family members?
i dont really know how to explain it other than like. putting it in an angst kind of setting LMAO but: it somes out a lot when david is upset, or having a really difficult day. those days happen a lot less than they used to, but they still happen; the days when he feels the weight of the world deep in the center of his chest and it's hard to even walk, let alone go to school or the lodging house.
mayer sits with him. for as long as he can, anyway; either he or david will have to leave, but david finds that the weight he feels is eased when he can rest his head on his father's shoulders and hear him say, you don't have to be a strong man all the time, david. it helps when david can talk to his father and get advice. his dad is more of a man than he'll ever be, he feels like, so hearing those words of wisdom- hearing that he doesn't have to be on it 24/7- it makes him feel like he's on the right track.
esther holds him. david has always been a mama's boy, and that's not changing. she's a very smart woman, and knows there's something different about him- something he won't let Mayer see- but esther is really the only person he feels like he can be himself around 100% of the time. so, she holds him, and lets his worries and words tumble out a mile a minute, and runs her fingers through his hair, and tightens her grip when her son, her baby boy, starts crying in her arms because it's all so much. and she doesn't tell him to man up, or push through- she tells him to let it out, and he feels like he really can. (plugging in autistic david here: his mother is the only person who can initiate physical contact with him without making him uncomfortable. for everyone else- even jack- david has to initiate the contact or he feels like he'll crawl out of his skin.)
sarah engages with him. when david is upset, there's a 50/50 change it will end in tears, but if sarah can get to him before that, she knows that she can talk him down. so, they have an old fashioned bitch session. they sit on the fire escape and air out their grievances- with the people at school, the family, the world- and spend so much time "yes, and"ing each other that it makes david calm down. maybe it's just twin brain, but they riff off of each other so well that they're able to vent without ever feeling the need to check in on each other, and david is grateful that he has someone who will listen to the edge in his voice, who allows him to feel anger and lets him express it. at their core, whether they're teenagers in 1899 or teenagers in 2023, they're teenagers, and understand each other on a deeper level because of it. sarah gets him, and he gets sarah, and having those moments where then can be angry and upset together and talk everything out helps both of them.
and les tries. he really, really tries- he may not know why his big brother is upset, but les will do whatever it takes to make him happy. he'll bring him toys, or give david half of his dessert at dinner, and it's something so small and seemingly insignificant- les is only nine, after all- but it's truly the thought that counts. les is smart, but david isn't going to burden him with making him listen to everything, so those little moments when they pass each other food or things they think the other will enjoy is integral to their relationship. if les finds david curled up on the fire escape, crying as he looks out at the city, he'll sit with him and offer him pieces of whatever snack he has. snacking is a privilege they often can't afford, and the fact that les is willing to give it up for david? it helps put his worries into perspective.
to simplify, i think the dynamics can be summed up using love languages:
Mayer gives David: words of affirmation
Esther gives David: physical touch
Sarah gives David: quality time
Les gives David: gift giving
and in turn, David gives his family acts of service.
