141 + König on your period!

Tw: blood, average period pains

Kyle “gaz” Garrick

The kind of guy to some SERIOUS research on periods and he’s very proud that he knows more than the average man about female anatomy definitely something he would brag about if he got the chance (Also educates his friends on it even if they don’t have girlfriends)

After doing extensive research on your cycle he feels prepared and asks you LOTS of questions “how heavy is your flow?” “What kind of tampons/pads do you use? Is there a brand you like the most?” “what do you crave?”

Definitely is the most educated of all the men (price is a close second)

Always is able to dodge your mood swings even if your pissed he is an expert at calming you down without even realizing it and he doesn’t get angry or frustrated often he’s notorious for being level headed and calm even in high tense situations

He tries to be attentive to you as much as he can and depending how long you two have been together he would slowly learn and memorize the things that make you feel better on your period

Simon “ghost” Riley

He had the common base knowledge of periods (blood, mood swings, cramping, etc)

But after having a few girlfriends he realized it was much more complicated than that. He realized that women can have lots of different symptoms on their period and having a heavy flow vs a light flow

He tries to support you emotionally and physically on your period he basically melts into you every time he sees you laying in bed. He crawls over to you and spoons you so he doesn’t disturb your comfortable position he so huge he basically incases you while you two are together

He loves when you lean on him to help you a bit, he has the house cleaned, the fridge full so can lay in bed all day and worry about nothing it makes him happy that you can depend on him

John price

Price has had his fare share of girlfriends in his life he is familiar with a woman’s monthly cycle and he treats it very casual

He’s your living heating pad, he’s so unbelievably warm. He just wants to hold you all day. He just loves taking care of you :,(

He is the most attentive man istg. When your emotional he gets emotional too, when you cry his eyes start to sting you bring out the crybaby in this full grown man so mood swings are the worst part for him.

But he tries to keep it together for you he cooks for you tries to ease your pain with ibuprofen and hot tea.

John “soap” mactavish

The most clueless out of all of them like he knows what a period is he isn’t completely clueless but he isn’t as educated as some of the other guys on the list

He’s just a little stupid when it comes to women he tries his hardest but he can’t help it

You have to remind him you can’t have sex on your period multiple times because he keeps forgetting

But after a few months he starts to track it on his phone so he can remind himself he definitely has all your period needs in his notes app

So when your talking to him about something you like he immediately gets out his phone and starts putting it in his notes

Definitely tries to baby you on your period but when he realized it pissed you off he stopped

König

He learn about periods at a young age (he was raised by a single mom idc) so he has a grasp fully on how painful and awful they are

He calls his mom and asks her how he can help you the most and after receiving some advice he goes to the store and gets you the main staples, tampons, pads, chocolate, heating pad, and ibuprofen.

He loves being close to you no matter what time of the month it is, if your watching a show so is he, if your taking a shower so is he, if your in the bathroom so is he, if your sleeping so is he. He doesn’t like leaving your side at all especially when your in pain

His mom taught him over the phone how to give proper back rubs (god bless his momma) that’s his secret weapon every time your angry at him and all else fails “liebling, would you like a massage..?”

((✿: If you don’t include Gaz in your 141 head cannons I will come for you 🌚 not proofread I wrote this two weeks ago))

Imagine Cale falling for someone the opposite of him. They're poor, live alone, and have never told a lie. They have a shack in the woods with a garden and some animals, pretty much self-sustaining and living in peace. But, unlike him, they may look like an average person yet have the strength of ten men. They have a bad reputation, because they kinda fit the whole "evil witch that lives in the woods" vibe. And even though they're honest(blunt), they can't get a long with people. Just imagining their dynamic is hilarious and amazing.

1) i went overboard, 2) cale is ooc in some parts, me thinks, 3) messy asf. im sorry

Cale's thought upon the first meeting is probably "oh wow they have my dream life"

except for the poor part. we all know Cale doesn't speak broke

s/o not being able to lie is good for him. he wont need to play the guessing game all the time unlike with other people

but at the same time he thinks they wont make it far in life with that

but not that it matters much. he has confidence he'll be able to protect them for they are one of his people

speaking of s/o becoming one of his people. i really think that's the only way for Cale to fall in love

the man is closed off so if you aren't in his circle you wont stand a chance

luckily for s/o Cale saw their strength and deemed that it would be beneficial

and the rest after that is history

now them as a couple!

one word: intimidating

they're that power couple everyone admires but are to scared to approach

how can you when you're dealing with a natural intimidating aura and a leader aura fueled by an ancient power purely for domination?

so when they look at each other and then proceed to whisper everyone doesn't know if they find the scene hot or scary

what they don't know is that s/o is actually super anxious

"Cale i think they're looking at me weirdly... I want to go home"

"if i ask one more golden plaque from hyung-nim you can use it to blind them"

"why are you asking for another one? dont you still have 20 more?"

"but thats for shopping with you and the kids"

yes Cale is the type to spoil their s/o openly, i will take this hc with me even after u get buried 6ft underground

as i said cale doesn't speak broke so ofc his s/o have to get the best of the best

meanwhile s/o likes to live a simple life

cue many arguments that occurs everyday while everyone else in the villa watch with popcorn

dont get me wrong, Cale admires their self-sustaining, simple life and he supports it

but he also thinks you can't be wealthy enough yknow

the more riches the better

thats cale's motto

meanwhile s/o is probably

the simpler the better

THE KIDS LOVE THEM SM

ofc we have the fact that if cale loves them then the whole fam will also love them as long as they dont have bad intentions

but the kids love them for

is it because of their natural affinity with animals? are they really just that good with kids? is it both?

Cale honestly doesn't want to think about it

all this man knows is that while they make look ethereal while interacting with kids and animals, it annoys the hell out of him when they go bother him early in the morning

the villa doesn't even have pets

most of the time its just random animals (specially birds) knocking on his bedroom window wanting to see his s/o early in the morning

but grumble as much as he want he wont rlly do about it when they see how happy they are playing with those annoying little things

moments like that makes Cale think how you dont get along with other people outside your circle much

but then again outside Cale's safe clutches is the filthy world of high society

and he knows how they dont like hearing the truth, something s/o always deliver, but instead prefer empty praises

oh well, Cale could care less about those greedy nobles. he also make sure to remind his s/o that they are trash and its not worth it getting along with them

cue more argument about how this is why Cale would probably die friendless

overall its safe to say they are intimidating in public and act like an old married couple in private

they may have different values and morals from Cale but he wouldn't trade them for anything

Anônimo said: Hi, can I get A, C and D for both NSFW and SFW for Yuuta and Noritoshi?

Pairing: Yuuta x reader & Noritoshi x reader Warnings: NS//FW

SFW

Yuuta

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Oh god Yuuta is a highly concentrated ball of affection, and one that is always showing it. He is already clearly affectionate towards his friends so for his partner he is doubly so. I would say certified wife guy but *gesticulates towards recent internet events*. Yuuta knows very well that in this field tomorrow is never guaranteed so he will love you with his all today. He is always so supportive of you, so proud to show others the love of his life. He is not always around but he will always try to help you in whatever you need when he is, have you in his embrace whenever he can, and even try his hand at giving you gifts when he comes back from missions, he is not really good with gifts though.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

God oh god he is the most cuddly person possible. Though he is almost always very tired so cuddle him and he will fall asleep, don’t be angry he needs it. He likes having you in his arms, the warmth of your body reminding him that he is alive and that things will be fine. But when you hold him is when he truly finds peace, oh please hug him. He is also an intense sleep cuddle bug, he will hold you tight when you both get ready for sleep and the moment he is unconscious you have no more chance of leaving his embrace. Really, he is strong and he will hold onto you and not let go, if this isn’t enough he doesn’t just hold you in his arms, he will also throw a leg over you for good measure.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Yes, yes Yuuta would very much love to settle down. He would love to be able to have a house with you, with a garden and maybe a dog or a cat. But hell, he’d be happy for just an apartment. He likes domesticity because he likes routine, it brings peace to his anxious mind, something he’d very much welcome. Yuuta is good enough at cleaning, not any worse than the average person out there. He is no cleaning genius or organization guru but he can keep a house clean pretty well, he is very capable of looking after himself. However cooking is a whole other story, he is terrible, just horrible. Do not ask him how he manages to burn fucking pasta, he doesn’t know either. Not that being a sorcerer helps either, he is always on the move, living off of street food and instant noodles, no wonder he can’t cook. God help this man.

Noritoshi

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Noritoshi is, despite appearances, very affectionate. He may not be the most wordy person  around, but he is an honest one and isn’t afraid to express his feelings. However, the way he is most affectionate is through actions. He will offer to help with whatever task you may be doing, even if he is busy he will always find time to help you. He also loves very much to be in your presence, even if you are both doing your own thing he enjoys being around you, he also loves to hear you talk about your interests and will make a point to remember them for later. He also enjoys giving gifts, mostly things he thinks will be useful, and being a good listener means he is always well aware of what you may need.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Noritoshi actually really enjoys physical contact, when he has a moment of peace he likes being able to have you in his arms, it calms his tired soul. Though, the way he mostly shows his love for touch is by generally just always having one part or another of your body touching. It might just be your leg or feet touching when you are on the couch facing each other, or a hand on yours when you are sharing a table he likes to be always touching you. He can, and will, get grumpy if he can’t do that, although he hides it. Also when you sleep together he will wake up if you are not within his grasp, just to find you and embrace you again.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Noritoshi is a VERY domestic person. Even beyond all the clan thing he does very much want to settle down, yes and thank you. Man is just starved for support, he just wants to have someone to share his life with, nothing more.  He isn’t the best at cleaning, having had maids to do that for him for his whole life, but he is a smart guy and can learn pretty quickly. ]cooking however is something he is actually decent at, not great but not bad either. He likes to do it, almost as a sort of meditation, but he doesn’t consider himself a particularly good cook, mostly an alright one.

NS//FW

Yuuta

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Yuuta can get pretty intense during sex but the moment it’s over he is back to his sweet and gentle self, caring to the point of being overly cautious. He knows he can get pretty intense so he doubles down on the aftercare. He will bring you water, he will run you a bath and carry you to it, he will get you anything you may need. He is going to massage any body part that may be hurting and pepper it with kisses, muttering a ton of apologies, even if you tell him he doesn’t need to. Often, when he runs you a bath or a shower he will get into it with you, he will wash your hair and massage your scalp if you let him, and although he doesn’t ask for it, he enjoys it if you do the same for him. Yuuta really likes to make the aftercare a tender moment to be with you.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Oh boy, Yuuta cums A LOT. Like, an impressive amount, really. It’s not especially thick so it’s not hard to swallow but the sheer quantity you’ll be swallowing is already a task in itself. He does like it when you swallow, but he is aware of the amount and he won’t force you to do it, but he does like it when you do it tho. He doesn’t mind if you spill some however, he actually finds it quite hot. But if you are up to the task he will be beyond happy, he really likes deepthroating too and if you are able to indulge in that, he’d really love to cum while you deepthroat him. If you can’t swallow tho, that’s no problem, he really enjoys cumming on your face or tits, and especially in between your tits if you are giving him a titjob. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t enjoy cumming in other places on and inside of you, Yuuta is a bit of a nasty one. Loving, but nasty. He really likes to cum inside of you and then continue to fuck you just to see the cum begin to spill out with his movements as he praises you for being just so full. He will praise you if you swallow too, a lot, especially if you do it while he deepthroats you.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Yuuta wouldn’t have the courage to tell you - but by now he imagines that you must already know - but he steals one of your panties whenever he has to go on a mission. He misses you so much when he is away, so terribly, and he knows, he KNOWS he shouldn’t be stealing them, it makes him so ashamed but he can’t resist the temptation. He would never muster the courage to tell you, and every time he does it he gets red in the face, but that doesn’t stop him either. In a sense, despite Yuuta not wanting to admit it, the fact that he knows he is doing something “wrong” makes it all the more thrilling and irresistible. What does he do with them? That he’d never even imagine himself telling, he’d be way too ashamed to even stutter the words. He also does steal other, less intimate, pieces of your clothing, mostly shirts, he misses you and likes to have something with your smell around.

Noritoshi

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Despite seeming nonchalant and distant, Noritoshi is actually really caring and thoughtful if he likes someone. He will help clean you up if you want him to, get you water or something to eat, or whatever else you might ask. He is also very clingy. His preference for aftercare is to just lay down for a bit with you in his arms, talking about nothing as he caresses your skin. Noritoshi likes to lazy around a bit after sex. just let his mind and body relax for a little, but he needs to do it with you, so if you get up he will get up too, it’s not the same thing if he is alone. He is not the type to feel particularly sleepy after sex but he won’t mind if you or him, or both, dooze off for a little while. 

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Noritoshi likes to cum inside you. If you ask he will say he just doesn’t want to pull out, it just feels better that way, and while this is true he also definitely does have a breeding kink. And he knows it. He wants to pump you full of his cum, and he can too because he does cum quite a lot. It’s very white and thick and not that easy to swallow, though this is not so much a problem because he prefers cumming in your pussy or ass rather than your mouth anyways. For being so thick it doesn’t usually drip out, unless you get up, but if he does catch it dripping he will push it back inside with his fingers, can’t have any of it being wasted. As for the taste, it’s mild, Noritoshi has a good lifestyle and access to good food so it ends up not being too unpleasant. If Noritoshi is not cumming inside of you he likes to cum on your thighs and ass. He likes to cum in your mouth too but he’d rather do it with your mouth open to watch the thick white ropes pooling on your tongue, only allowing you to close your mouth to swallow it once he is done.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Yes, blood manipulation is actually useful in bed. Yes, he does engane in that. Just, he would never want to imagine the reaction if anyone in the clan ever knew of this. Even though he does imagine that he can’t be the first person to come to that conclusion. Other than that he does have a fantasy that he can’t imagine himself building the courage to share. It involves being at some kind of event or party and taking you to a secluded space and pumping you full of his cum, plugging you up and sending you back to your friends to pretend nothing is happening. In another version of this fantasy you are wearing a long skirt or dress and he pumps you full but doesn’t plug you up, instead he takes your panties, you both return to your friends and he gets to watch you try to keep your composure as his cum runs down your legs.

Hey I love your work! I was wondering if you could do a randy Meeks NSFW alphabet?

Yep! no problem :)

Randy Meeks NSFW Alphabet 18+

Randy Meeks x gn reader

A=Aftercare- I feel like the first time you guys have sex it's definitely his first time so he doesn't really know what to do after. You guys will probably cuddle, any time after that it's the same but you both get cleaned up and then cuddle.

B=Body Part- He really likes his hands, and he knows that you like them too so it's a bonus. He loves your arms, he thinks it's the way you move them around when you talk but it also could be when you're holding on to him.

C=Cum- When he cums, there is a lot. He wouldn't do it inside though, unless you really wanted him too. Other than that just your stomach or chest.

D=Dirty Secret- He has definitely thought of asking you if you wanted to film the both of you doing it. He could never bring himself to ask so he just keeps it to himself.

E=Experience- Like I mentioned before, you are his first. He has seen enough sex scenes in movies to have an idea but each person is different so he would need you to lead the first time.

F=Favourite Position- Probably missionary, he loves the idea of watching your face to see how good he is making you feel.

G=Goofy- The first time you guys do it he will be a bit nervous and awkward, maybe spilling one joke out. Once he gets used to what he is doing he is very calm about it.

H=Hair- Any hair down there is very well kept and trimmed, carpet does match the drapes.

I=Intimacy- He really does like how close the two of you feel when you have sex, and not just close physically but in all other ways, he is very touchy during, his hands won't stay in the same place for long.

J=Jack Off- Before having his first time with you, I don't think he would jack off unless he really had to in fear of it messing with the virgin rule of horror movies.

K=Kink- I don't see him as a very kinky person, other than the thought in the back of his head of filming you both do it.

L=Location- He prefers more private places, like the bedroom. However if you two are alone and there is no chance of being walked in on then he could change his mind.

M=Motivation- What really gets him going is when you are talking very passionately about something, or if he is rambling about something that makes him really happy and you are listening while adding stuff in and asking questions. It shows him you care and he lives for it.

N=No- He would never do something to hurt either of you during sex, he really hates the idea of causing someone he loves pain.

O=Oral- Prefers receiving rather than giving because he isn't very sure on what to do.

P=Pace- At first when you both start having sex he would go quite quickly but being gentle at the same time.

Q=Quickie- He would prefer to have the real thing but if your were stuck with time, then he would.

R=Risk- Like I mentioned on the private section, he would only have sex with you somewhere you wouldn't get walked in on.

S=Stamina- He can go for quite a few rounds, but only really maxing at three.

T=Toys- I don't see him using toys.

U=Unfair- He likes to tease but ultimately he knows that he would be teasing himself at the same time so the teasing would only go on for a little while.

V=Volume- He isn't extremely loud, but enough for you to know you are definitely doing a good job. I stand by the fact he whimpers near the end.

W=Wild Card- Would never bring it up in his entire life but if you were up for it, he wouldn't mind a threesome.

X=X-Ray- He is average size and uncut .

Y=Yearning- I don't think he would be able to go longer than four days without having sex especially if he knew you two were alone and couldn't be interrupted.

Z=Zzz- He gets very tired after sex, so once you guys get cleaned up and are cuddling he is out like a light.

Choices

Ben Chilwell x gn!reader x Mason Mount (2.1k)

“Hi, can I make a request? I was hoping for a fic about Mason mount and Ben Chilwell, but if not Chilwell Christian Pulisic would be great. Was thinking of a storyline of a blinddate from talking on an app, and then it get awkwardly but they realize they are knky in the mess because they like each other” @afstory1988

Quick disclaimer: English is not my first language so please keep that in mind when judging!

“Ben, I'm totally over him. It's been three years, how could I not be?” you told Ben. He was over at your house for your weekly movie night whenever he was in London. He was your best friend and nothing more.

“You say that but you still haven't taken down the picture you two took with Taylor Swift.” Ben retaliated.

“That was a historical moment don't even.”

“Okay, not the point. What I'm trying to say is that you never really moved on from him.” He was right. You had dated many people before but your last relationship was by far the longest and most meaningful. When he broke up with you out of nowhere, you really didn’t know how to react; hence the reason why he was bringing it up. Truth was, Ben never really liked any of your previous boyfriends, you would say it’s because he's being an overprotective friend wanting to keep you safe and preventing you from getting hurt, but, Ben would say it because he's irrevocably in love with you and even though he's famous and has many girls at his feet he only wants you. Of course, he would never say that out of the fear he has of losing you, and in his mind; never being able to have you is much better than losing you.

“Wait,” you say, pulling him out of his thoughts “I know you can be… iffy when it comes to me with your teammates but, what if you set me up with one of them? Like a blindate! Think about it, you know me and my type so you know what I like and you also know your teammates and their types. So… what if you set me up randomly with one of them and then we'll see how it goes from there?”

Ben had always encouraged you to stay away from his teammates but your recent relationships had been with average men living average lives and maybe it was time to step away from that and try new things. “I totally understand if you won't but if you really want your best friend and the most amazing, wonderful, and meaningful person in your life to not suffer, then you should set me up with someone completely different than what I’m used to.”

Ben was not happy. If you wanted someone with a different lifestyle, why couldn’t it have been him and not one of his teammates? His first thought was to immediately tell you off and make you forget you even brought it up but one look into your eyes had him melting on the spot. He could never deny you your chance at happiness, even if it wasn't with him and instead with one of his teammates. Begrudgingly, he agreed to set you up with one of them and he knew just who.

“Heyyy Mason, how are you mate? Seeing anyone? Free to casually pursue a wonderful person this Friday evening at 8?” Very subtle right? Ben knew that Mason had one of the worst reputations with women and men in the whole Chelsea and England teams so, obviously setting him up with you would make you realize that the only one who would treat you as well as you deserve was Ben himself.

“Hey Chilwell, can you… repeat all of that again?” Mason asked, the man was very confused. The only time the two had interacted outside of training was when Ben came up to him very drunk on a night out with the team sobbing about the unrequited love he shared with his best friend.

“Listen, I need you to do me a favor, my friend is very clearly still hung up on their ex and they don’t need that kind of pain at all. They suggested I set them up with one of you lads with whomever I thought was most compatible with them. You are my choice. So if you could just show up and give them a nice night, then I will do anything in return because they deserve the best and I believe you can give them that.” He was lying, he knew Mason would most likely flake or ignore you leaving you to go over to Ben’s house to cry once again in which he would finally be honest with you and tell you how he feels.

“Oh of course mate I'll take them out, just send me the address and I'll be there,” Mason replied honestly; and shocked. Out of all the people on the team that Ben could've chosen for this situation, he chose him.

Feeling good about himself Mason arrived at the restaurant he has supposed to meet you at. He was nervous, he had no idea what to expect. He had no background information, no knowledge of anything about you except for the fact that you were “absolutely stunning you'll know when you see them. Their name is Y/N if you get it wrong ill kick you off the team”; the last part scared him, so he made sure to remember your name. To be fair it wasn't hard, it was a beautiful name that he guessed would most likely be fitting.

On the other side of the street, you were in your car talking to Ben over the phone attempting to get a hint about who you were meeting up with. It would calm you down and give you at least five minutes to do a quick background search on him. However, Ben was refusing to tell you, so with one last “, I hate you” you hung up and finally found the courage to get out of your car and go into the restaurant. You were nervous, as anyone would be if they were in your situation, but you were also excited. You didn't really know who Ben chose and you were excited to find out. To your surprise, the infamous Mason Mount was standing right outside the restaurant looking at his watch nervously and glancing around.

When Mason first laid eyes on you he politely stared and looked the other way, not for one moment thinking that the most beautiful person he had ever laid eyes on was there for him. So imagine to his surprise when you came up to him and asked him if Ben had asked him to come here.

“Uh-uh, yes! Ben did in fact ask me to escort you on this beautiful Friday evening.” Mason replied very nervously. He could tell you were enjoying this, a small smirk appearing on your face upon hearing stutter.

“Well then, let's get started shall we.” You grabbed his hand and politely led him in while you asked for your reservation. Once you two were seated it was quite awkward at first until you spoke up, a little more shy this time.

“Look, I know that Ben asked you to be here and I wouldn't mind if you wanted to just eat and leave I just thought it would be nice to have a date with someone different than usual but if you don't want to be here then I totally respect your wishes, I would never want to impose on someone like that.” you admitted honestly. After your initial suggestion, you realized how forced this sounded so you completely understood if whoever showed up wanted to leave or not pursue anything after the initial dinner.

So it was to your complete surprise when Mason spoke up very confidently stating “No! Don't even worry about that. Honestly, I'm happy for a change of scenery and you seem like a lovely person inside and out so of course, I don't mind being here with you. As for after the dinner, I wouldn't mind a walk around town, this part of Cobham is quite beautiful and I would love to show you my favorite spots.”

“Oh! Well, that sounds quite lovely actually. Although I've lived here most of my life, I have never quite explored this part of town intensely and I would appreciate the tour.”

“Well I’d be very happy to show you around, there's this one ice cream place to die for…”

The dinner went great. After the initial confrontation, conversation flowed smoothly and you found yourself being very charmed by Mason. He was kind and funny, as well as patient and an attentive listener. You had learned that he was a family man and quite kind to others, surprising you since that was the opposite of what everyone said about him.

As the dinner came to an end, he spent quite literally seven minutes trying to convince you to let him pay for the whole meal, not half like you were suggesting. Exclaiming he needed to go to the bathroom, he smoothly grabbed the check without you noticing and managed to pay the whole bill successfully without any trouble from you.

“I'll have to give it to you Mason, that was smooth, can't even complain about that.”

“You were fussing about it so much I had to find a way to stop you, looks like it worked.” You both laughed. He shyly grabbed your hand and started ranting about the town and giving you an exact description of each shop and his rating of it. You both spent the rest of the night just walking and talking, each never wanting to end the night. But alas, the night had to end sometime. When the last shop turned off its lights, you two realized how much time had passed and that maybe you both should start heading back.

Once you two arrived at your car you took both of his hands in yours and looked up at him. He looked down at you and started to lean in. Your lips met and you both swore it was the most magical moment ever. Your lips moved in sync and it was like you two were made for each other. Eventually needing air, you both moved apart and laughed.

“Wow.” was all you said

“Wow is right.” Mason chuckled. “You know, I would really enjoy it if you wanted to go out with me again. Next time I’ll cook you a nice dinner over at my apartment.”

“I would really enjoy that Mase, thank you for such a wonderful night I'm really happy that Ben chose you.”

“I'm really happy Ben chose me too. Goodbye, darling.”

“Goodbye.” and with that, you both parted ways and went home. While driving back you called Ben so that you could tell him about your successful date and to discuss a new potential relationship. After a couple of rings, he answered.

“How did it go? If he did anything I swear I will-”

“Woah, relax. He didn't do anything, actually, I think he was actually the nicest guy I've ever gone out with.” You told ben wondering why that was his immediate reaction.

“Oh… that's great darling. Glad it went well.” Ben said shocked, he had honestly thought hoped that it had gone bad, which would cause you to come over seeking reassurance which would create a comfortable environment for him to finally confess his feelings. So imagine his surprise when you started ranting on and on about how great Mason was and how kind and sweet he was and how he paid for the bill in such a great and sneaky way…

“So then he asked me on a second date and of course, I couldn't turn him down. He has such big brown eyes you know and like great hair so like how could I ever say no, so I didn't, and now I totally have a maybe-boyfriend and I think this will actually work out.”

“You said that last time.” Ben said dryly.

“Yes, but I didn't really believe it so that doesn't count.”

“That's great glad it went so well, listen I have to go, training starts early tomorrow and I need some extra sleep,” Ben said trying to end the conversation. He couldn't stand to hear you talk about Mason for one more second before he would expose his feelings to you.

“Oh okay, well, I hope you sleep well, and thanks again for setting me up with him. I know it must've been hard since you normally shoo me away from them but I appreciate it. Goodnight Ben.”

“Goodnight darling” and with that, he hung up as he realized his mistake was not pursuing you when he had the chance and not after Mason had pulled his charm.

Character list

A list of the romance options and their overall personality, see who you'd like to spend the apocalypse with in this xreader scenario!

Includes: Toby, Jack, Noah, Conny, Oliver, Sam, River, Axel, Alex, Jay, and Nyx.

Toby

In earlier parts of the story, Toby was a fearful and frail boy that was kicked out of the safe house he was raised in and was now on the verge of a breakdown. You were the first person Toby ran into that didn't immediately threaten him or aim a weapon at him, causing him to immediately default to hiding behind you when the dead came around the corner. He refused to leave your side afterwards.

As time went on Toby began to adapt to the world around him, his once innocent smile turned into nothing but a mask he now uses to hide his obsession for you, the person he considers to be the most humane person left alive. Toby is the yandere of the story, the man who would burn with a smile if it meant you would be happy.

Jack

Once a boy who stole for food and bribed for shelter, Jack was a regular thief in his earlier days. That all changed when a tip about a valuable item turned out to be a way to catch Jack and put him behind the bars of the district. Jack went on the run, going to the outskirts of city ruins of where humanity once thrived. He meets you and Toby when he ends up getting stuck between what he would call "a zombie and a hard place".

Jack never loses his mischievous side, though you get to see a kinder version of him when it's just you and him alone. He cares about you and the group you end up building, even if it doesn't feel like he does at times. He cares, he'll never let something happen to any of you...even if that means he'll have to make sacrifices down the road.

Noah

Noah is a rare case in this world. A type of mutation in the virus that caused the dead to rise. A mutated version of the virus is often called a "Clawed". Noah is a Clawed, but not your average one. Being somewhat resistant to the virus, Noah still has full control over his conscious self. His body may look wrong and one of his eyes may have the glazed color of death but Noah is still himself on the inside.

You meet Noah when he rescues you from a group of infected that meant to make you their next meal. He was intrigued at your determination to find your group and warn them of the infected that roamed the building, so he followed you. He never stopped following you, even when Jack thought he was just a normal Clawed and tried to shoot him. He's a normal boy on the inside that just so happens to look like a horrifying nightmare creature on the outside. There are bright sides and dark sides to being infected...the strange purring that he does when he's happy is definitely a bright side to some people.

Conny

A man hiding secrets behind a worn mask, that's the best way to describe Conny. He claimed to live in a motel your group was staying at, though the motel was worn and had no signs of any life being there for years. Conny constantly jokes and acts as if there isn't a chance of death being behind every corner. You may think this is just a character who isn't all too smart, but something more sinister lays under Conny's grins. What that something is, nobody can tell you...but he never seems to flinch when someone turns up dead, nor when something shocking or traumatic happens to somebody in the group. He seems to know almost everything that will happen. Odd, right?

: )

Oliver

Oliver was raised as a soldier for a group of survivors living in something called a "district". His home was the Sanctum district. Oliver's job was to go out and recruit "unkept" survivors from the ruins of New York in the hopes of the district being able to force them into working somewhere in the district to keep it running. Oliver lived as the equivalent of an enslaved slaver since he turned nine, never knowing it was a twisted job for a child to be given because he lived in a family of people who had the same job.

The district fell eventually, causing a massive death toll that included Ren, the older brother of Oliver who raised him and protected him in the ruins. The fall of the Sanctum district left Oliver and a friend of his to leave with the most competent person to the ruins. That person just so happened to be Toby, who had been captured by none other than Oliver and Ren. Toby, not holding a grudge on Oliver due to his nature still being kind at that point in time, brought the two district boys to you.

Sam

Sam was the friend of Oliver's from the Sanctum District. Ever since he was young Sam had been picked on due to his anxious mind and fears that everybody thought were idiotic. Sam had Kinemortophobia, the phobia of zombies, which caused him an extremely stressful life and made the people of the district look down on him.

The district falling was one of the most terrifying things to ever happen to poor Sam. He left with Oliver, a friend he had been close with since childhood. Seeing how Toby, an anxious boy with little survival skills, was alive and well thanks to you made him view you as a means to survive in the ruins. Sam became dependent on you and Oliver, seeking the two of you out as a way to cope with the anxiety he felt just by living in the ruins.

River

River is the cocky self-reliant person in the group. Having been the middle child from a family with four other siblings (seven if you count the twins as different people), River knew their way around getting groups to stop and go on a dime. They often act like they don't care if you live or die, though seeing the silent horror on their face when they see you try to fight a Clawed alone says everything you need to know. If you had to label River's love style, tsundere is the way to go.

River holds a complex emotional state, constantly shifting between showing large, often negative emotions. If they aren't yelling at someone in Irish Gaelic about something or taking frustration out on the dead they're more often than not shoving emotions they don't know how to deal with deep inside their mind until they turn up as frustration. Being someone River holds dear to their heart means that you're someone they're terrified of. They can't live without you in a world where you could die at any given moment, of course that terrifies them.

Axel

Being the smaller and weaker twin brother, Axel had been the target for any harm that people wanted to place on his aggressive twin, Alex. Axel had been born with multiple types of vitamin deficiencies and was considered a burden on the group he was born into. Axel's parents, not wanting to be left alone in the ruins, abandoned Axel when he was only six. Alex refused to leave him, making the parents leave both children, albeit unwillingly when it came to Alex.

Axel had a terrible life. Alex refused to let the two of them settle and live peacefully, making Axel begin to have trust issues and panic attacks when it came to even speaking to strangers. Alex fed into it for years. Axel met you in a strange way...meaning he wanted to speak to you but was so afraid of messing up that he basically kidnapped you while you were sleeping. Axel ended up getting more than a few harsh words from the people in your group when they finally caught him. Axel joined the group, much to Toby and Noah's dismay, and happily talks about textbooks he's read in the hopes of you gaining an interest in his knowledge...or just him in general. He may not have Oliver's muscles, nor Conny's sense of humor...but he'll teach you anything you want if it means you'll sit next to him give him that smile of yours that makes him feel lightheaded.

Alex

18+, do not read unless you are 18 or over!

A man who doesn't care about anything but his own desires, Alex is the sadistic and cold twin brother of Axel. He left his home to find his brother in the woods after watching his parents abandon him. After that, Alex refused to leave his brother's side. It started out as sweet, but soon the care Alex had for Axel turned into nothing you could call kind. Alex refused to let Axel make friends. At one point when Axel put his foot down, Alex decided to leave him in the ruins. He didn't actually leave him, but instead stalked him and watched his twin panic for an entire day. He only stepped in when Axel ended up getting beaten to near-death by a scavenger.

Alex instilled a fear of being alone in his brother and he doesn't take kindly to strangers who try to take his brother away. You, being the closest thing to a leader in the group Axel is now part of, have become the center of Alex's anger. That anger can come out in a few different ways. Fist fights that end in bruises, screaming matches that end in one of you storming away, angry fucking that ends with marks that are hard to lie about, it's up to you really. How badly do you want to provoke this man?

Jay

Jay was raised mainly in Annecy, France. When she turned fourteen her mothers set out to travel to America via boat. She arrived and lived happily in Boston with her mothers for years to come. One day, years after their arrival to America, Jay and her family got separated during their travel to a rumored infection-free town in Colorado. Jay was left alone in Indiana with no way home and no way to find her parents.

She adventured for months, eventually ending up in Missouri and holding up in an old mall. She spent her time scaring scavengers out and luring the dead away, constantly hoping deep down that her parents may end up wandering through the abandoned halls she took to guarding. Jay is one of the more calm and patient of the group, having been raised with patience as a primary rule. Her loyalty is something she prides herself on. If you can catch her and guide her out of the mall and into your group, she will never abandon you.

Nyx

(MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR ANYONE READING MY BOOK)

A child at heart, Nyx is a sweet and foolhardy young man who holds having fun as the primary rule. To him, survival is only worth it if you enjoy living. This boy may act like he's care-free, but he holds a secret from you. Years ago, back when he was too small to properly handle a gun, he knew you better than anyone did. You both ran in the same group for a short time when you two were around five or so. He remembers you fondly, though he remembers the dread of not finding you when the group went to hell more than the other memories of you.

He didn't recognize you for weeks after meeting you, but once he did he felt like he was going to throw up from excitement. He decided to keep his knowledge of your past a secret, less you end up not wanting him around. He doesn't know where you went the day the group went to hell, which makes him worry that you don't want that part of your life around anymore. Here he is, a smitten man-child keeping the biggest secret he has from someone he's adored since he was small.

[greetings-inferiors]

Kouki Midori (HIS NAME IS LITERALLY MR GREEN LMAOOOOOOOOO) is one of the protagonists for my Personal Persona Project, Persona: Green. He’s an 18/19 year old first year uni student, average height, medium length hair, pretty average guy really. He’s kind hearted, with some trickster energy when he’s in a funny mood. He’s very empathetic, and loves hanging out with and interacting with others. He’s quite the optimist, too, believing that worrying about things only leads to too much worrying, and it’s best to move forward and tackle problems. This leads to a problem when he has issues which can’t be easily solved, in which case he tends to just… ignore them. He’s looking forward to his time at uni, being quite skilled at both the arts and sciences, though he intends to pursue solely the sciences. If only he had reason to, say, tutor someone studying literature (foreshadowing). He wears bright colours, like green and yellow, though his wardrobe is pretty basic once you get past the bright colour palette, shirts, jumpers, shorts, and trousers. He gravitates towards people that need his help, so the party members he forms social links with, Miyuki, Safie, Nenji, and Tsuneko, are all those that he can help find purpose and meaning in life, whether that be helping Safie find a passion in the human world, or helping Tsuneko cope with and live around her disability.

His persona is Arthur, of the Sun arcana, legendary king of England. He manifests as a knight in smooth, gleaming white and yellow armour, with a helmet in one hand and jewelled sword in the other, his hair flowing behind him. He is atop a steed, or at least half a steed, made of that same metal. His element is Holy/light, but he also functions as a healer. He maybe even buffs others, idk.

Kouki himself wields a sword, obviously. The foliage that lets him summon Arthur manifests as a wreath atop his head, that he slashes with his sword (because he just has to be that cool). His fighting style is strategic and graceful, fitting for the leader, and he’s ready to support his teammates that focus more on offence.

At the start of the story he’s just moved to a new city, when he notices a cough, and going for a check up, is informed he has caught a very early lung cancer, and that he should consider himself lucky he caught it so early, and so his chances of living are very optimistic with treatment. He has faith in humanity, having been shown kindness all his life, and he’s more than happy to repay that kindness to others, a belief goaded by a tad unprofessional doctor waxing poetic about humanity’s advancements when it comes to saving lives. Across his journey he sees both the good and bad in humanity, learning that while not everyone always are what they seem, everyone has the potential to do good, no matter who they are.

If I had to sum up his relationship with each of the party members:

Miyuki: The strongest bond on the team, he’s able to see through her walls and teasing and see who she really is. He’s determined to bring out the best in her, while not letting her off the hook easily when she messes up. He sees the best in everyone, but you have to put in work to be the best, y’know? He does genuinely really respect her, too, and finds her funny lol

Safie: She kinda forced herself into his life and is crashing at his place, but can see that she’s a lovely person, even if her grasp (or lack thereof) of humans, society, and boundaries can make it hard to get along. They’re practically siblings.

Nenji: They hang out at restaurants quite a lot, they just like to shoot the shit. Nenji is quite unconfident and Kouki helps him to come out of his shell and have confidence in himself, and stand up for himself.

Shin: Appreciates Shin’s professionalism and tactical combat style. Very much respects him in an academic context as well, constantly asking for insight into maths coursework, which Shin happily provides.

Yoshie: Kind of terrified of her, she acts quite manic around him. She’s a great fighter and her bubbly enthusiasm is great for the group, she’s just… a lot.

Tsuneko: He helps her counteract and live with her fatigue, and enjoys seeing her have more and more energy as the year goes on. Also enjoys listening to her rambling about whatever thing she’s interested in recently.

Johnny: Loves how enthusiastic Johnny is, and it drives Miyuki insane so he’ll go along with any of his antics. They have matching cowboy hats that Johnny bought for him.

#text post #randyposting #I need to work on Nenji and Tsuneko more #Miyuki’s my favourite of the two protags so her side of the party is more developed #from most to least developed it’s probably Miyuki Kouki Safie Shin Johnny Yoshie Nenji Tsuneko #Tsuneko my girl I’ll do you justice I swear #Anyway I need to sleep night night #persona #persona green #ocs #long post #Kouki Midori #I’m still laughing my ass off at Mister Green over here lmao

[kerorowhump]

isn't it extremely fucked up how even though he says this was a joke right after this truly is the real words he would say to them if he was about to sacrifice himself to protect earth and humans to which we can infer also that 1 he's grateful for the knowingly limited amount of time he had with them and that he was able to be their friend (specifically fuyuki) so he is aware at the Very Least on a joking level that this is a chance which time will inevitably run out 2 he feels on some level guilt for his being a "freeloader" and living under their roof and obviously more in general getting them involved in the invasion stuff he can't walk out of, so in the back of his mind somehow he's trying to make up for and remedy this fact 3 most importantly, despite KNOWING that his position is fickle and he would've been required to choose sided eventually and lose all he has as he feared, he's not sacrificing himself by being platoon leader, because he also got to achieve happiness under this plan and within this platoon.

see, I say that because not too long ago I even discussed with friends that keroro was sacrificing some of his own happiness doing something he very extremely doesn't wanna do anymore (invasion) not only because he has to but also because it allows everyone around him to thrive in these conditions even if HE doesn't. they're all happy to be on earth, keroro is super lax with the way he treats them, barely scolds them for real or perceived mistakes

["you went a bit overboard" he says as he's literally dying buried in snow. great boss!]

(and when he does "scold", it's more average bickering what they do, and he doesn't come out on top a lot or anyways lacks that aura of respect you'd have to give any other military superior which allows for a more relaxed environment where they can thrive as themselves. you ever seen ofmd? think stede). and consistently ive seen so far that keroro is willing to put his life on the line for the mission and also step up when it comes to protecting his teammates specifically, but I think he's like, aware of what being a leader entails. and I know he does because he had this fuckin SPEECH ready to drop, joke or not!! like he pondered this stuff, he knows how he feels about the situation and... he concluded that he's happy the way things are. and that may be why it's so hard for him to commit to something and he's kinda stuck between sides, because it's not like keron bad earth good to him

he likes keron and he likes earth and while he's allowed to live in a way that allows him to betray neither, he's happy. that is his goal, so that makes sense. he's not without guilt and shame for his choices, but he's grateful they led him to where he is. a still moment in time where he can pretend he's on the right side on both parts.

I mean... IS that why he wants to be included with them as family so bad?

is that why it hurts when his teammates lose faith in his leader abilities?

could that be why he has semi-frequent (I would say...) breakdowns about the state of the mission despite not being motivated to do it, because this fickle balance he's created still hinges on it, let alone his reputation? HQ loves to remind him so. to tell him to hurry up.

it's all about enjoying the time you have with the people you love, and also give them a chance to find their own happiness in a way they couldn't have under normal keron rules. taking the brunt of everything that might go wrong for this.

but he's happy because they are, because he was able to achieve this, because he loves them, because he could at times believe they love him back, like he always wanted, I think, despite the circumstances that he's the reason for. it's a burdened happiness, hence why he also needs to apologize in the same breath, "for all the trouble he caused".

maybe in an ideal world there is no invasion, and he really could've gotten to be just that pleasant and cheerful freeloader alien, no guilt attached

but if that's the price to pay for having met the hinatas and having been able to give everyone in his platoon a second chance at a peaceful life, I believe that makes him happy. a peaceful life with the people he cares about, even if just for a while, and he's well aware of how fragile it is.

he really is often like "is the invasion all you can think about?" but then it's always weighing on his mind as well. it stings when that costs him the respect of his peers. it stings when that causes the hinatas to doubt him even when he's innocent.

but what choice does he have?

#keroro #musing #headcanon #BRINGS THE SAME 10 EXAMPLES UP OVER N OVER AGAIN AND CALLS THAT ANALYSIS #i just wanted to brain vomit all over the page and that i did #i love when blorbo from my show is so complex and tormented and traumatized he just like me fr #crazy! #the hinatas really offered him a lil piece of paradise in the form of a nice welcoming family and average comforts #and it BROKE him #OF COURSE HE'S GRATEFUL HE THINKS HE DOESN'T DESERVE THIS!!!!!!! #keroro group hug when. literally SUF tier . i want it. i need it actually. keroro group appreciation #ALL HE WANTS IS TO BE TOLD BY HIS COWORKERS SLASH FRIENDS AND THE HINATAS THAT HE DID A GOOD JOB. THSTS LITERALLY ALL HE WANTS #but when they do rarely tell him. he doesn't believe them. he believes he can do more

[coolunspokenforname]

The “Building a Legacy” Challenge

The main premise of this challenge is to create a family in which each heir creates a legacy for themselves. This doesn’t have to be a world renowned legacy, but one where they are at least well known in a select group of people. For instance, one sim can be remembered as a programmer who created a virus and all programmers know their name, but can be completely unknown to the average person. You do not need to make these people celebrities, if you have get famous, but can if you want. Some generations have less goals or story than others, so you are able to choose what happens and expand on the sim’s personality.

Notes: If you don’t have a pack and need a replacement let me know, since I enjoy writing these and I don’t want people to feel left out because they don’t have a pack. Just mention if you’re just base game or which packs you do have, and I’ll do my best to create generations you are able to play. I don’t know much about the newer packs, so those may take a tiny bit longer, but otherwise I am totally happy to change a couple things. Also, I have not actually gone through this challenge, so if any parts are actually impossible, just let me know.

Rules: 

No cheats that give a gameplay advantage (however, for aspirations like Renaissance Sim that require one or more careers that are different from the career mentioned in the legacy goals, it is okay to cheat that part after completing everything else in the aspiration level)

Normal lifespan

Start with young adult (for story reasons, you can get a roommate if you want)

Story: As a teen you helped out at your parent’s vet clinic, and you really enjoyed it. Your friends always said that you were lucky, since not only was the job fun, but you were also getting paid, unlike other friends who were helping out their families’ businesses. Your favourite part of the job was creating the anecdotes and treats. Your family has always called you their “little scientist” and you actually really liked the idea of that, so when you became a young adult you started working for a science lab. You have a lot of invention ideas, and you’re excited to bring them into the world.

You start to research and even sneak into the lab to find out, but when you were almost there your friend/partner gets infected too. Now you're desperately searching for a way not to just help them, but also to stop whatever is going on.

Goals:

Have a friend get infected

Note: This generation, after completing the mystery, is pretty loose. You can add on to this whatever you wish, whether it be a different career or, if you have the paranormal pack, they can even be a paranormal investigator.

One day, though, you meet someone who doesn’t seem to know who you are, and you fall deeply in love with them. You didn’t know much about love, your parents didn’t have it, and you never felt it until now, but you know you can’t let this person go.

Ro's as parents?do they want kids in general or not? (if not uncomfortable)

btw totally excited for this if, looking forward💐

Augustus loves kids and would love to be a dad, he'd be so anxious but so excited. He would think the world of all his darling kids.

Aurora would be neutral but open to being a parent, she's always been expected to have one as a noblewoman and more so when she got married. Don't expect to get her to agree to more than 3 kids, she'll be very involved in their lives and wants to make sure each one gets plenty of love and focus.

Arielle doesn't really trust himself to be a parent, for several reasons. He just needs to be convinced he won't accidentally screw it all up. But he'd be a very fun parent, letting the kid do some ill advised things because kids are sturdy. He didn't have the best childhood growing up so he overestimates how strong the average child is.

Shockingly to the whole world, Asrani is receptive to the idea of being a parent. Aside from it being a thing expected of nobility they genuinely seem to be interested. They'd be very good at it, strict yet gentle. They try not to hold huge expectations for their kid but still make sure the kid knows they are capable of anything. Definitely has the kid sleeping in their lap as they do desk work.

For Ambrose kids are a yes and a no. Yes kids are great, but no she doesn't like the possibility of them inheriting her magic. If she can get past that she is fun loving parent central!

Noel likes kids, loves em in fact. I don't think they'd want one of their own, at least not anytime soon, they are more than happy to babysit though. If they had to due to getting involved with somebody where heirs are important, then they'd be a pretty gentle parent, promotes independence while softly guiding them.

Laika is open to the idea of kids, he's a bit stand-offish about it because they don't want to be a single parent and doesn't expect anybody to stick around. So she'd have to be in a very secure and relationship for some years to even consider it. Would be a very laid back parent, not cool parent level laid back she still makes sure they go to a their lessons.

Due to past circumstances Volo would be very hesitant to have children, adoption may be an easier sell though, but Volo can be eased into the idea. Volo would be an amazing parent, very protective though.

Venus has no real opinion of being a parent, they know it's expected of them but also can't be bothered enough to feel one way another about it. They've never really interacted with a child to, so he's out of his element. Very awkward dad who doesn't know how to talk to his kid, but you better believe he's the favorite parent somehow.

Diedre is nervous about having children to to their health, they don't want to leave anybody with that and not be able to help. Also his life expectancy isn't long so he's not confident he'll even get to see a child of his reach the double digits. But if he got the chance he'd be a very loving and sweet parent, whole different person on your hands.

Monster March 2023 Day 31- Satyr. Part 3 Finalle

Too Perfect

At long last. I'm done. This is it. The last part to the last story of the last prompt for Monster March...in June. When I started on these back in January. So only...6 months to do 31 stories. For an average of 5 stories a month, when I started Monster March 10 days ahead. Life threw me several curve balls and killed off several people in my life in that time. We are officially up to 20 deaths in the last 26 months alone. I'm getting real sick of people just up and dying on me. My husband's grandmother's funeral is tomorrow and he will have officially won the race that was two years in the making. He lost all of his grandparents before I did. And he started this with more of them than I did. And it was not a race either of us really wanted to run in, let alone win. But, here we are.

As always, all the thanks to @borealwrites for their unbelievable support and patience as I work away at this. I appreciate you so much. This is what has gotten me through all of that loss. And while part of me is relieved I finally finished it. I kind of miss it already. Oh well, there's always Monster March 2024 right? It's only 9 months away lol! I should probably start now, I might be done on time for that one. Lol.

Enjoy.

Too Perfect

Thankfully, the sheep decided to start lambing the day that Marie came. Trip was relieved that Marie was more than ready and willing to help, even though Trip tried to warn her that not every lamb would make it but that there were tricks to try to help each lamb have a chance to make it, but if any lamb was born with deformities that would mean their lives would be lived in pain, suffering and agony, that it was the kind thing to simply, humanely euthanize them to keep them from suffering and to keep the mothers from being in distress either. Which, Marie completely understood and agreed with. 

Trip expected Marie to cry with every lamb born who wasn’t born alive. But instead, she simply treated the bodies with care and respect, but focused on the lambs who were alive and helped him save as many as possible and learned how to help other mothers who had already lost their lambs, adopt and surrogate others who had had too many. And they barely had time to eat a sandwich or anything before it was just nonstop lambs all day. But Trip was so happy and grateful for the help, and felt like the reason he got to save as many lambs as he did, was because Marie was a quick learner and was able to do more and more on her own once she learned how to do each part of the process. And by the afternoon, he had made her- her own lambing case so that they could work independently. And by the evening, they were exhausted but had done so much. 

“Ow, ow, ow.” Marie whimpered as she made her way over to his house where he had a dinner waiting for them in a crock pot once she washed her hands and got to clean up a bit before she eased down into a chair at the kitchen table but was happy and grateful to eat the best pork and beans she had ever had, with huge hunks of smoked pork shank. 

“This is so good.” She praised as she felt like she inhaled it as she was delighted when she got to have a whole shank to herself in the large bowl. 

“Thanks. I tried. And thank you so much for helping me today. I wouldn’t have been able to save half those lambs without you there helping me. I really appreciate it. I owe you big time.” 

“What counts as “big time”?” Marie asked in amusement. 

“I…whatever you want it to mean.” He stuttered in answer. 

“Mmhmm.” Marie hummed before she continued to dig into her pork and beans but didn’t say anything more about it. And after she got done with dinner, she went back out to the lambing barn to check to see if any other mama’s had gone into labor and was still checking up on the other moms who had lambed that day before she saw another mom go into labor and helped her through that birth as Trip did the same with two others. And when Trip looked up. He saw Marie, asleep, holding a lamb, leaning against a mom and had tried bottle feeding the lamb but had fallen asleep with the lamb in her arms as the others were happy to get loved on from mom. 

“Marie?” Trip asked but she didn’t move before he got into the trough and reached over to gently put his hand onto her shoulder. 

“Marie?” He tried to gently wake her up, but she was out cold. 

“Honey?” He murmured softly before she finally managed to wake up enough. 

“Oh, hey, yeah, she…she did great. She should be able to handle three.” Marie sleepily offered before she managed to gently move the lamb to nestle next to the mom before Trip helped get her to her feet and gently helped her out of the pen. 

But to his surprise, he woke up to the smell of breakfast being cooked and got up to see Marie dressed in his sister’s clothes, but looking practically perfect in his kitchen, her long, still damp hair hanging around her shoulders as she seemed right at home in his kitchen and was making a proper breakfast feast. 

“I have a spare bedroom you could stay in, I don’t want you driving home if you’re this tired.”

“That would be…perfect. Thank you.” She tiredly offered before she went back into the house and managed to get up to the spare bedroom and only could strip out of her clothes and collapse into the bed before Trip went to check on her and noticed she barely had any covers pulled up before he put another over her, plugged her phone in and turned out the lights and went ahead and gently got into the dresser to get his sister’s spare clothes when she and her family would come and stay since her and Marie were similar in sizes when Savanah wasn’t pregnant herself and laid out some clothes and wrote a note of where the shower was and  had set out some of his sister’s old clothes for her to change into when she would wake up and a note that she could read whenever she would wake up again in the morning. 

“Well good morning Sunshine.” Marie greeted as she flipped a pancake with one hand and stirred the country hash in another pot before she got the perfect easy over eggs out of the pan and onto a plate. 

“Good morning. Wow, is there anything I can help with?” He asked. 

“Yup, you can get the biscuits out of the oven.” She nodded before he put on the oven mitts and pulled a dish of biscuits while the best cinnamon rolls ever came out too. 

“Thanks for letting me sleep over last night. I slept great. That bed is really comfortable.” She thanked him graciously. 

“Wow, great job on the cinnamon rolls.” He praised- as he nearly had to keep himself from eating them out of the pan and burning his hands and mouth doing so.

“Thanks, a trick I learned from working at Cinnabon in the city.” She smiled happily. 

“I’m glad you slept good, I couldn’t have you sleeping in the barn with the sheep.” He shrugged as he tried not to smile too widely while his cheeks, he was sure were going to be permanently red from blushing. 

“Well we only have 40 mamas today. Should be…” She began. 

“Hey, hey, don’t…don’t say anything that would jinx us. It’s always the last ones that tend to be the hardest.” He cut her off worriedly. 

“A bit superstitious huh?” Marie gently teased. 

“Enough to know that you don’t tempt fate like that.” He shook his head as she hummed before she turned back to what she was cooking before he helped her finish it up and they sat down at the table to eat a good breakfast with some great coffee before they prepped that night’s dinner in the crockpot as she was happy he let her have her choice of what she wanted as she even added other spices than he was used to. But he was sure it would probably taste better her way anyway. 

But while Trip tried to focus on the lambs. He felt like was falling behind just watching Marie with the Ewes and their lambs. She was just too beautiful and too cute and too perfect and too good at this for it only being her second time with this. He felt like he had to get a dozen lambings under his belt before he didn’t feel like a chicken running around with his head cut off. But, like a fish to water, she took to it like she was born and raised to do it. And the smiles she gave each lamb as it took it’s first breath and got to meet their moms was like watching the sunrise over and over again, each one just as beautiful as the last. And just as there was a small break, he managed to pull them back to the house to get some lunch. 

“You’re too perfect with them.” He blurted just as she took her first bite of her sandwich as she paused to look at him with curious amusement. 

“No, what I meant to say is- you’re a natural out there. I had to have three years of four lambings a year before I didn’t feel like a panicky headless chicken running around, not knowing which way was up or what the hell I was doing. Or how to do the thing I had done a dozen times before. But you, you only saw me do each thing once and automatically knew how to do it just from watching me once without any other instruction. If my parents were still alive, they would have practically drafted you into the family and hired you at the highest rate they ever paid anyone else before they would be talking all my brothers into trying to court you proper. And I…I’m just in awe, that’s all. And impressed and relieved and happy and grateful and I can’t talk and make sense to save my life.” Trip quickly sputtered off as his cheeks darkened again before he tried to shut himself up with his own lunch and shoving it in his face to keep him from saying anything else just as she finished her bite and swallowed and just looked at him in curious amusement as she seemed to wait for him to say anything else. 

“Can you please talk? Every time I open my mouth I embarrass myself and I’m too shy and awkward and flustered and hot and bothered and I like you. I really do. I was going to ask you out and then Allen came along and only made it impossible for me to do that. Because if you knew him or any of my other brothers, then I’m screwed because they all have lady killer reputations and I hate it that all anyone ever sees is the one O’Donnel who don’t know shit about women, much less how to talk to one who I’m not related to. And along you come and you are too beautiful and too perfect and too good for the gods themselves and I don’t come from any kind of stock that’s at all- ever worthy and…” Trip tail spinned before Marie finally put an end to his suffering and leaned over and kissed him sweetly. 

“I’m happy you’re the way you are. I’m happy you didn’t go straight to trying to jump my bones the first time you saw me. I’m happy you tried to make an effort to befriend me honestly. Because you’re an honest person. And you’re a good person. And it’s obvious you are doing what you are happy to do. And that while it’s hard work. You’re happy to lose sleep and push yourself to your limits to care for each of those ewes and each new precious lamb that’s born on this farm. There is nothing good in the world that you aren’t worthy of ok? If you like me and want to date me. I’m perfectly ok with that because I like you and want to date you too. I don’t look at you and see the fact that you’re a satyr and assume you’re some kind of casanova, the same way most have been painted to be in most of history. Just like orcs are painted to be blood thirsty warriors, or the way elves are seen to be detached snobs or dwarves as hairy artists, or mouras are seen to be pretty birds of paradise, always singing and dancing but fleeing at the first sign of trouble when they’re not breathing hellfire down on you for it. Or that dragonborn hoard wealth just as much as dragons ever do. Or that cantuars are always racing around or whatever. I told you that I like to take each individual as they are. And you are awesome and wonderful just the way you are. You are not responsible for your siblings who are grown adults and are responsible for their choices just like everyone else. Just like I’m not responsible for mine either in that respect. The only ones you are responsible are the sheep out there and you do a damn fine job of caring for them. And you’ve done a great job in preserving the farm and doing all you can to keep it, even if that means changing with the times and going commercial when that’s the only way to really go forward with the farm and it’s operation if you want to stay the owner of it. Even when all your other siblings would rather have the money than the responsibility. You didn’t shirk it. You welcomed it and worked hard to be strong enough to carry it. Even when you’ve had to do so by yourself for a while.” Marie offered and Trip barely had time to swallow before he leaned over and cradled her face in his hands and kissed her passionately and in only a few moments, suddenly Marie was moving the plates out of the way and climbing into his lap before he sat her down on the table and it was a flurry of hands to get the other undressed as the kiss morphed from sweet to desperate and hungry. 

“You’re perfect, you’re perfect, you’re perfect.” Trip managed to say between kissing her and then moving his mouth from hers to her jaw and down her neck while she hurriedly began to unbutton the flannel shirt so his mouth could kiss more of her skin and when she finished and pulled it open, then her hands hurriedly went to her own pants to unbutton and unzip those and try to yank those down as his hands finally went to the clasp of her bra to undo it and finally meet the bosom he had been fantasizing about this whole time while his cock found her entrance as if it had a homing device installed already. 

And her hear her voice moan and keen and whimper only made his hips buck up into hers that much harder and sharper while his hooves settled into the divots in the floor that had grown to be there over three generations of his family living in this house and doing what he was doing right now with Marie, and fuck over the same kitchen table. 

Her strong legs wrapping around his waist while her soft belly touched his own only made it feel like they were always made for each other as his body seemed to fit just right against hers. And she was strong and soft in all the right places and had all those amazing womanly curves that got him all hot and bothered and ready to start humping air at just the thought of. And now that he was able to touch all of that, it was so much better than his imagination could ever do her and her body justice for. 

And her own mouth seemed to find, on it’s own, every little spot that nearly had him losing his load every time her mouth seemed to zero in on it and kiss and lick and nip and even bite at- that had him groaning, moaning and keening and even growling in pleasured lust as he was pretty sure he was about to break the windows for being so loud but if anything, she seemed to match him in volume as the world shrunk down to be just big enough to fit just them and this blessed table in. 

And when her orgasm crescendoed, her legs practically held him like a vice leaving his hips to grind out a few last strokes before he finally spilled some long awaited seed into her as he held his breath while his cock spurted rope after rope of seed into her as his whole body tensed and went rigid as he happily pillowed one arm under her neck to provide her head with something akin to a pillow while the other had grabbed ahold of her waist as way to hang onto her to keep him from fucking her up the whole table while he was just so happy to lay over the one he could, in all senses, call his own. And had she been well worth the wait.

[avoidantrecovery]

Can rejection without recovery cause avpd?

My thoughts have still been with that last ask I received, I'm not sure if it's okay to link the asker here, so I'll refrain from it for now. So, ways to improve avpd? One thing unique to avpd that differentiates it from other mental health issues and PDs, is the aspect of (fear of) rejection and shame. That is at the center of what makes us behave the way we do, makes us avoid etc…

Now, that got me thinking about rejection. Why is it, that others, while they also feel discomfort around rejection and would rather not go through it, the feeling is not so strong that it will keep them from living their life? Nobody likes rejection, and any healthy person imo will avoid it if they can. But, they will also risk going through it for the things they care about. So, why is this feeling so strong with avpd? Here is my theory: rejection without recovery. Please let me know if it rings true for you as well.

I think going through rejection when you have other people to help you recover and re-adjust your nervous system after wards takes away the sting. Picture yourself at a party with some really good friends who love you and want you in their midst. You are happy, well regulated and among people who accept you. Suddenly you see someone whom you like and you decide to try your luck with talking to them. Let's say it doesn't go well, you can return to your group and they'll take you back into their midst, build you back up, reassure you, and console you etc… The rejection felt awful, because it always does, for everyone. But going back to your friends will regulate your nervous system etc… because you have your people. Yes, it stung, yes you might think about it for some days. But the chances of that feeling lingering and potentially developing into toxic shame or worse are small. And what is better, because you are able to self-regulate (by co-regulating with your group) you might push yourself to do this a couple of time until you find someone who likes you back. And voila, the rejection feeling becomes even smaller in your mind.

I think having a space to recover from rejection is the key to it not growing into something toxic. And this is in regards to everything. Being bullied at school, but you have friends outside of school whom you can retreat to? Still sucks, but better than having nobody. And so on.

I remember at one point in middle school I really struggled with spelling and my parents were extremely obsessive about this. They bought me books to practice spelling, some of which were a grade or two ahead of where I was. I was constantly told how I would not be able to finish school and not amount to anything because I could not spell properly. Constant fear-mongering, constant threats. Stuff like that, that lowkey still bobs around in my subconscious, tbh. One day we went to a family function and I was instructed to take my spelling books with me because one of my relatives was a retired teacher. I think it was supposed to be a gotcha-moment for me because the idea was, I guess, to shame me by making me practice with said relative. So a real teacher could tell me just how bad I was, just how bad I needed to be perfect. I should say btw, I practiced every day and did my school work, but that was not enough… Anyway, did the practice with the teacher relative, he marked my work with a red pen and all and just said "you're average". I was so happy! "Make sure you practice these and these words." He really encouraged me and was not angry at all, this was all new to me. And you should have seen my parent's face, they wanted me to get a talking to or at least some shame, they wanted to hear that I was so below average that I needed intervention or something. Instead I was just told I was not bad at all and just to write the words a hundred times. Most of all, I was given a way out, and actual solution: practice = getting better. No threats, no fear mongering, no you are a shit child who can't spell and will live in a cardboard box. Just practice = get better. You have no idea how much this reassured me. I had been panicking before and felt completely rejected by my parents, because they would not accept any improvement that wasn't perfect. Now I felt like a normal kid who just needed to put in more work, I literally still remember the relief and happiness I felt that day. I was able to recover from the rejection of my parents by practicing with this relative who reassured me there was nothing inherently wrong with me.

I say all this to say, my theory is avpd is born out of not being able to retreat to other people who co-regulate (by reassuring us, taking us back into the fold etc…) and thus help us recover from the rejection. If for whatever reason you only have negative people in your life, especially as kids we mainly relate to our parents, shit can get wild. And if the rejection is "big" enough such as being bullied at school, having abusive parents, etc… it can manifest into avoiding other things as well. Because one was never able to work through and regulate that "rejection feeling". I would even go as far as saying, the brain "stores" this rejection experience as larger than life in our system because we were never able to make it smaller by recovering, if that makes sense. So suddenly many things, especially if they are to do with interacting with others, even if it's trivial, seem dangerous. We lose ourselves in either avoiding them entirely, or people-pleasing EVERYONE, just to make sure they don't react negatively. Like, I sometimes obsess over whether the lady at the checkout hates me, because she said this or didn't do that. Meanwhile it doesn't matter at all, like at all! The lady at the checkout does not have to like me, and I can't just starve because I don't want to go to the supermarket. Like???

So, lastly, I'm not saying that having someone in your corner ALWAYS works, but I think a lot of damage can be mitigated. I remember when I was going through the worst of my bulling (this was happening at the same time as the spelling thing), a girl in my school became my friend. I don't even remember how we became friends, and I think she must have noticed that the other girls were giving me hell. But we would play in front of our houses, draw with chalk on the road, ride our bikes. But because we weren't in the same class, I'd rarely see her at school. When we did hang out in school once during breaktime, my bullies did not like that one bit, and I don't think that was a coincidence. Even bullies, perhaps on a instinctual level, know that if their bullied object receives any kind of positive input or support, they might lose control of them. Anyway, I still appreciate that she was my friend during that time, but in the end, it was not enough to mitigate it all. But who knows, maybe I would have been worse off without her.

Now, how to actually use this theory to heal? As usual this is the hardest part. But I think just getting to think about all this is half the way. My money is on making new experiences that allow us to recover from rejection and then overwrite the old experiences. So not just jumping right into trying to grow strong from going into rejection situation haphazardly, but having a support of some kind to help recover. The brain has plasticity and can be changed, so perhaps that is where the solution lies? And I know saying this to a bunch of avpd people is almost laughable, like I myself do not have such a support system of friends currently and I don't even know how to begin building one. It's a catch 22, but that is all I have right now. Maybe a good therapist could be the stand in support here?

TLDR: Rejection and fear of rejection is normal for everyone. However, we need to recover and regulate our nervous systems after rejection. If we are not able to do this, the rejection might loom larger in our minds (and nervous systems) and begin to fester into toxic shame or avoidance. Bigger rejections, can cause bigger damage. Healing might lie in being able to make new experiences that allow for recovery and thus override the old experiences?

state of the katie address for september. weight tw i feel bad talking about that on here but oh well

weight fluctuating. like it's down overall from my heaviest but its not stable. i just want to max out my social acceptability stats man. like i don't necessarily recommend that for others and if i had other things going for me i would definitely be more okay with being fat (i'm not like...that unhealthy i just need to watch my cholesterol) but since i don't have an s/o or a socially functional sexuality or a place or a fulfilling career id like to at least enjoy the privilege of seeing a trendy blouse i like and knowing i'll be able to find one that fits me. i binge ate cheese last night and i guess if i had to reflect on why i did that it would be because i was bored. i think having some nice sensory stimulation that isn't food would help like nice fragrances? i can't have candles in my room so maybe a plug in air freshner.

i have no sense of routine besides going to work and watching jeopardy with my family and i've tried to implement routines but i don't stick to them. the autist in me wants a steady daily routine but the obsessive in me wants to make sure im doing the Right thing and obsesses over the different benefits of like night vs morning showers

i want to move out and travel both of which cost money and idk if i should get a job (or pursue a degree? whole other can of wyrms) in a better place and move there, or move out into a place near my current job, or continue living at home for a while to make it financially easier to travel over breaks and PTO

i'm very depressed because i feel unfulfilled. doing stuff with the library is kind of fun but i don't put my all into it because i shy away from the social interaction aspect especially talking on the phone. i want to go to school or start a project or new hobby or give my effort to something but i don't know how to choose one thing over anything else. life a series of closing doors.

other than the desire to move out and travel that i can't fulfill when other people my age can, I could have also said all of this in high school. i've gotten moderately better at a variety of things but

im really good at making fliers and i finally have the chance to do it a lot for the library because the president of the fundraising group realized we should stop asking the library graphic designer to do everything for us and ask Katie instead <333 which owns and i'm happy about it. Nothing makes me feel better than other people needing a skill that i contribute.

making fliers/posters/graphics is something i've been consistently praised for but its something where im better at it than the average person but worse at it than people in the field so I am useful to people with 0 graphic design abilities but i don't think i'd be very competitive in the field.

Miraculous Ninja Bio #4: Nino Lahiffe

Here comes another one for the bio page. I’m pretty sure you know the gist by now if you’ve seen this blog before. This is for a MLB/RC9GN fanfic and while I could just copy-paste from the wiki, I’m gonna add my own spin to these so you could get a good idea on what to expect from these characters. Once again, if you’re interested in this story, you can start here:

Miraculous Ninja: Tales of Heroes and Magic (MLB x RC9GN crossover) 

Let’s start this jam.

Backstory: There isn’t a lot known about Nino that people could easily point out. Born to a French father and a Moroccan mother, Nino lived a fairly average life with his little brother Chris while his parents were kept busy with their jobs in Paris. Growing up, the boy found himself alone in public school. He would find himself sitting near radios and see glimpses of parties that go on throughout Paris. Seeing many people there, Nino wondered to himself if there would ever be a time where he could gather this many people together himself. That became his goal when his parents were able to get him into College Dupont. There, he would have an initially rocky start with some of the school bullies pushing him around and putting him through rough situations. In spite of that, however, Nino never allowed this to wear him down and he would find friends during his time in College Dupont. Marinette was one of these friends and he would do his best to help her whenever possible, but he found himself getting caught up talking with more and more people, even being able to form a friendship with some of the people who once tormented him.

He would find a rather important friend when Adrien Agreste started attending College Dupont himself. Seeing how lonely the boy was, combined with how his only company seemed to be Chloe Bourgeois, Nino took it upon himself to try and help Adrien connect with the rest of his class. Unfortunately, this was also happening in the midst of a war between heroes and villains and through a really bitter encounter with Adrien’s father, Nino found himself becoming the Bubbler, one of the earliest Akumas after his friend Ivan became Stoneheart. Desiring to free his friends of the adults and buzzkills of the world, he was ultimately beaten by Ladybug and Chat Noir. Nonetheless, Nino still found himself in good graces with plenty of the students.

Often helping some of his friends reach others, Nino would also find himself going through his own complications. Garnering a crush on Marinette, he would actually find himself going for Alya instead and seeing as the both of them shared a mutual love for camaraderie and tech, the two of them went increasingly steady. While this was covert, Nino still cherished Alya with all he had as well as the friends he was able to make even as many of them went through the Akuma wringer. He would actually end up being blessed with the chance to become a hero when Alya’s older sister ended up in Hawk Moth’s control. Blessed with the Turtle Miraculous and Wayzz, Nino would become Carapace and would serve as one of the many temp heroes for Ladybug and Chat Noir.

For a good while, Nino sat comfortably in his role as the one to help people keep themselves together. Even while some of his friends found themselves busy with drama, the boy was more than happy to make sure everyone else was doing well. He would even support the idea of helping people like Chloe who had been awful to a lot of them for a while...and then Miracle Queen happened. Soon enough, with the prospect of Hawk Moth now knowing most of the identities of all the temp heroes, Nino found himself having to keep everyone together. Unfortunately, he had to see his friends say some unsavory things about Chloe and while they are understandable, he didn’t like the idea of participating in any of that. He would also help Adrien whenever possible...and it soon led to a massive shift when Adrien told him he had to move to Norrisville. With that in mind, Nino had to tell Alya who told Marinette about this and while the two bickered over one of Adrien’s choices, Nino ultimately decided that what Adrien decided may be for the best. So, after some long talks with his folks, Nino was on the way to Norrisville.

Appearance: Dark-skinned and somewhat lanky, Nino was rather tall with brunette hair and orange eyes. His hair is cut short, but used to be rather long and curly until a certain incident made him cut it short. More often than not, he dons a red cap and glasses and is often decked out in a casual attire of a long blue T-shirt, jeans, red-white sneakers, and a plethora of wristbands. He also has a pair of headphones on him often for whenever he finds himself alone. His shirt holds an interesting design and it seems to be custom-made, possibly from his family.

As Carapace, he’s decked out in a green jumpsuit that almost appears to be armored, which would fit well with the power of his Miraculous. He also dons a hood with some flaming designs at the edge and his glasses become a pair of goggles. With hexagons all over the suit as well as a shield that’s often mounted on his back, Carapace is ready for battle.

Personality: Friendship and fun is pretty much two of the most important words in Nino’s vocabulary. Nino takes it upon himself to be one of the friendliest folks you can meet. Often active and talkative, he often tries his best to diffuse a situation and not allow anyone to make decisions they can’t take back. He’s very willing to listen and is more than happy to take up anyone’s suggestion if it seems like it could help people. In essence, Nino is just the swellest guy you can meet.

Even so, he can be rather stubborn whenever he gets his own ideas and at times, he can get insecure when it feels like he’s essentially fading into the background. He sometimes finds himself afraid to say no to something under the fear that he’d drive people away. Even so, he’s not afraid to admit when he’s wrong and if you give him a good enough argument, he’ll concede and back you up because what are friends for?

Powers: Naturally, he gets the same boost in durability and strength as other Miraculous holders. His own active lifestyle did help him get a bit more of an edge and his endurance is vital when it comes to his role as protector, something that is summarized through his main ability:

Shell-ter: Carapace is able to form an indestructible barrier that allows him to save anyone within it from harm. It can stop anything from weapons to projectiles to devastating impacts. Normally, this power is shown through the shield, but Carapace is capable of forming it without the shield and it’s even possible to change its shape

Currently, thanks to a certain incident in Paris, Nino’s future as Carapace is unfortunately unknown and frankly, it’s difficult to know when he’ll be able to shine again as a hero. At the very least, he still has a lot of networking skills and his own musical prowess to keep him busy.

Current Events (SPOILERS FOR THE FANFIC TOWARDS THE END):

(YOU KNOW THE DEAL AND IF YOU DON’T, THIS SECTION CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE FANFIC, SO PLEASE READ THAT BEFORE YOU PROCEED WITH THIS SECTION.)

Going to Norrisville High, Nino was already finding himself acquainted with quite a lot of people including his new locker neighbor, Howard Weinerman. Being one of the few guests on the trip who isn’t attached to any insane drama, Nino mostly spent a lot of his time hanging out with students and playing up some beats. He managed to get some decent acquaintances with the school band. Aside from that, he just hung out with his friends and went out with Alya. They even got their own gadgets for utilities. Overall, it was a relaxing time. Of course, he had to find his own thing to do. This would come to a head when he made a decision based on Chloe.

Initially, everyone with the exception of Kagami rode in the limo with Adrien. However, with Chloe there, it became really easy for it to become a volatile tank of arguments. While Adrien would be able to calm things down, he would get called up by his dad and be forced to move. Thus, Nino got more and more frustrated with Chloe until her bringing up a bad memory of his forced him to go out on his own. He decided that he needed to buy a bike for himself. With some encouragement from his mom, he knew that while he could spent his money, he needed a way to make sure he didn’t run out.

He would find the opportunity for cash in the form of the school’s dance group, the Dancing Fish, ran by Morgan. While he initially didn’t impress Morgan with his skills as a dancer and as a DJ, he was able to show some resourcefulness by helping one of her members get gum out of their hair with peanut butter. It was something he learned when he was really young and it showed just how much he cared for others no matter how little he knew about them. This ended up earning him a spot as the Dancing Fish’s DJ with him even taking the same embarrassing nickname Chloe gave him as his new title, DJ Bubblecap.

From there, he was able to do well for himself and his friends. While he did have to help Alya and the others confront Heidi after the latter did the worst thing a blogger could do to someone, he ultimately found a good spot acting as the man dropping the beats. He, along with Marinette, were also able to get a bike for Alya and ultimately, he proved himself to be quite the capable and dependable friend he always was. Only time will tell what the future holds for Nino.

Here You Go, Liberty! Part 1

Happy Birthday Libs!! We hope you’re having fun doing, well, whatever you’re doing right now! Since you’re not here right now, we decided to write you something, just so you had something nice to see when you returned to the account. So, without further ado, here’s Part 1!

See you again soon! Lúcio! 🐸

Liberty, my sweet jet engine, it’s been an honor to be able to work with you all these years. Rest assured, I still have all the portraits I asked you for hung up in frames around my office. But of course, artistic talent isn’t the only reason you’re such an asset to our team. For starters, you actually listen to my plans, which I can not appreciate enough. You’ve also been such a good caretaker for 5.0.5., and you even keep Dementia distracted! Liberty, I may live at the manor, but you’re part of why it feels like home. I… I love you, Liberty. Happy birthday.

thanks for everything, love. for laughing at all of my comebacks, for keeping spies off my back, and for keeping me company during all those long missions. but most of all, thanks for loving me. i’ll love you till the day i actually die, but i don’t plan on doing that again anytime soon.

sniper

Hello Liberty! Heh, it feels kinda nice to be able to call you by your name instead of your role… even if I’m not actually saying it right now. Anyways, I’ve always appreciated your company during my side-jobs, even if you were obligated to come. Body disposal with you feels more like regular disposal; I realize how weird this probably sounds to the average person, but I know you’ll understand. You’ve always been oddly good at turning my jobs into something fun, but I think that’s just how you are. I might be getting off topic though; the point is that I really, really appreciate you. I love you a lot, sweet pea. I can’t wait to see you at the forts again! >///< Happy birthday!

~Miss Pauling

Told ya I’d see you again soon!! What can I say? You make my heart sing every time I see you! I mean, you’ve always been a muse to me, and not just for my songs either! You’re another reason for me to live life to the fullest! I just feel incredibly lucky to be with you! Our circumstances were near impossible, but we made it work! We shouldn’t even know each other, but I still think we were meant to be. Happy birthday again, Liberty! Thanks for being born!

Love you!! Lúcio out! 🐸

With every existing moment that I get to call you My Darkest Lady, I understand more why mortals value their feeble time so highly. You deny your immortal routes to me still, but I have been consulting with my denizens to construct theories of your origins. For now, I can sense the remains of a goddess of time within you. There can be no other explanation for how time crawls to a hault whenever you’re in my presence. It must be so; it takes a truly powerful entity to handle the poisons seeped within my skin. I will unleash your inner darkness some fateful day, but until then I must thank you for even allowing me to have a chance to. I love you, dear. Heed those words well, for few get to hear them even muttered from my bitter breath.

Your one and only Supreme Lord, Gundham Tanaka
