My mom just started reading Fox’s Tongue and Kirin’s Bone after I raved to her about it lol.
She’s four pages in and she wants to know if the way people sometimes use the phrase “met death” had anything to do with sparking the idea for this story? (As in, “he met his death walking down king street” or “she met her death in November”)
That is EXACTLY where the initial premise came from. I overthought the phrase one day, and here we are. <3

here for the mandalorian rant ☕️
um well the first episode of the brand new season of disney+’s flagship star wars show was entirely... filler. the dialogue was incredibly bad, not even written badly but as if no-one had written it at all. entirely flat and devoid of life, in a show with a faceless protagonist whose dialogue literally has to carry all the weight. din continues to have no opinions, no emotion and nothing to say
as for the plot, what even happened in this episode? we open with the mandalorian covert ritually giving a child their helmet, but this is not explored at all, it’s only there to be interrupted with a giant monster fight for absolutely no reason, as if this show has been written by six-year-old me livening up clicking my barbies together by grabbing my toy dinosaurs. din has conversations with the armourer and bo-katan purely to rehash the information we’ve already been given, partly because half of it was in a bad show the casual audience won’t have watched. neither of these characters is doing anything.
din visits greef karga, who is now discount lando “gone respectable” but instead of having personality he’s just really into gentrification and this is presented completely uncritically. din, a character most charming for being the beaten up mercenary underdog of the galaxy, suddenly hates pirates and disorder (well, hates would imply he shows emotion—dislikes pirates and disorder? is mildly perturbed by pirates and disorder?), and pals around with high magistrates who offer him a position as a cop/landed gentry (they actually use the words “landed gentry”). there’s a couple of meaningless unfunny comic relief scenes because this is all that grogu is here for now, complete with a reference to, of all things, the rise of skywalker. in what is apparently the main plot of the episode, which is, i repeat, the first episode of the brand new season, din takes up a fetch quest to get a random droid part for an absolutely laughable reason that does nothing but completely negate a character arc from season 1 and everything we have been shown since, just reminding you that not even death will be allowed to have emotion or narrative weight, or prevent disney from dragging back onto your screen anything that will sell. he doesn’t actually do this fetch quest, btw, he just gets given it, because apparently we have to do multiple episodes of this
did i get everything? was that the whole episode? oh wait there was the fight with the pirates in space. i forgot it because there was zero tension. those pirates also earlier wanted to... have a drink in a school with greef, i guess, in a completely baffling scene? i can’t imagine there was any point to this pirate bit except to put fight scenes into this filler episode and force the visual effects people to carry the entire lumbering weight of this show. one has to assume that otherwise the pirates would have had personalities or motivations. oh, also purrgils appeared in this episode, because this is the Star Wars Cinematic Universe, and you’d better watch all the interconnected shows so all your beloved characters can eventually come together to swap lifeless quips on screen, just like you always wanted.
a droid drops a statue’s head on top of a murder droid to stop it, purely so din can say, “now that’s using your head.” if you were wondering what i meant about the dialogue.
i don’t even need to get into the politics of the story they’re telling. i don’t need to humiliate it further by comparing it to andor. it’s just bad to watch on a basic technical fundamental level, and it’s not headed anywhere better, because they will be churning out this story for cash forever with no goal or meaning, under circumstances where i cannot seriously even imagine caring about star wars anymore. hope this helps!

[Bleach 072]
This scene is important to me for the express reason that Hitsugaya was apparently the one to tell Jidanbou about these rules. Because they are friends! We know this not from any in-story interactions but from one line in Hitsugaya's Souls profile:
Tumblr media
[Souls 133]
I'll be honest with you, I've never actually read Souls and have never thought about where it ties to canon temporally, but the answer to that is apparently sometime before Hitsugaya confronts Ichimaru.
This amuses me because at this point we know all of five things about this guy, and one of the five is that he's friends with Jidanbou. We don't even know the name of his Zanpakutou (that's the "?" in his stats profile box), but we know he's FRIENDS WITH JIDANBOU.
I don't have the English version of this page, apologies, but basically it's just like, Hitsugaya is a shinigami who comes from Rukongai, he's the youngest Captain in history, and he's currently investigating the Rukia business and trying to bring Ichimaru's shit to light. By the way, he's friends with Jidanbou and taught him the "Rules of the City." (Then the bottom sidebar is about how Hitsugaya treats Hinamori like blood, and wants to protect her.)
Which honestly makes this Jidanbou connection even funnier because Hinamori, the reason Hitsugaya is even in this story and the only reason we know this much about him (through Hinamori's Academy flashback), gets a neat sidebar, but the line about Jidanbou is just thrown in at the end of the main narrative like, beeeeee-tee-dubs!!
I've always wanted to write fanfic about this, but I haven't yet come up with a premise that was actually interesting to me. I assume they get paired up in this way for the size kink, though internal to the narrative that only gets us so far. After that it's like, okay, they're both associated with West Rukongai, so there's that. They're probably both socially ostracized: According to himself, people in Junrinan find Hitsugaya off-putting because of his white hair and his, well, off-putting demeanor; people probably make fun of Jidanbou because he's enormous and speaks with a lisp (though this doesn't carry into the Viz)/doesn't come across as normatively cognitively developed. But I'm kinda like, okay, sure, whatever. The most interesting part about that for me is still that Hitsugaya has a casual friend at all, because what few relationships we do see are extremely not casual. But also BTW Jidanbou!
I still think my favorite version of this relationship is the one where, while Hinamori's been off at school, Hitsugaya casually mentions to her that he's friends with Jidanbou the Gate Guardian, with absolutely zero explanation, as a child might about a brand new ride-or-die friend, as though this were completely normal and natural for him, and that's all that's ever said about it. Hitsugaya is definitely someone who has a mental white paper for anything he's ever done, which is why I find the contrast/discrepancy so appealing.
If my life depended on writing Hitsugaya Jidanbou friendship, though, I'd probably start with the City Rules. Because:
Jidanbou has been guarding this gate for 300 years. We don't know how long Hitsugaya has been living in Junrinan, but we do know he would not have had first-hand experience with any City Rules more than ~35 years ago. Not that you need to go to the city to know the rules, but I think canon Hitsugaya establishes pretty well that he doesn't talk about things he's not interested in or things that he doesn't have personal verified knowledge of. So for the first 265 years, no one bothered telling Jidanbou very much about this place he was guarding (not even his brother). He's a utility, and one that lives outside the gates (FUGAIKUUUU)--also one that's not perceived as smart enough for that information to be meaningful. But that whole vibe is not really Hitsugaya's style, because he loves an infodump--but also because he has a bone to pick with the notion of instrumentality.
If we're making a point of saying that Hitsugaya taught Jidanbou the "Rules of the City" (in quotation marks), we're introducing an interlocutor's specific POV. I'm not saying Hitsugaya's just making shit up for the hell of it, but how important these rules are, why these would be the top 3, what their original contexts were vs. being pulled out like this, and what's a literal municipal code vs. a social more vs. just something Hitsugaya has personal commentary about, are up in the air. What I'm saying is, I feel like these have "a gigai is for eating beans" energy.
At minimum, I enjoy this because this is all information that is completely incidental not only to the main storyline but ALSO to the Detective Hitsugaya B-side. But I love that Bleach is consistently so, so interesting about all these characters and their POVs and the rules that do or don't exist in the world, particularly at these early junctures, where most of what we've heard about Soul Society is from Rukia, and a lot of it we've already seen contradicted; and we'll continue to as the arc unfolds. Who even NEEDS Kyouka Suigetsu??

@digimon02countdown Day 5 - Adventure Chosen
Among all relationships between the old and new Chosen Children - some of which were, unfortunately, highly underutilized -, one of my absolute favourites is (to nobody's surprise) the "bug buddy geniuses". Granted, you have to pay attention to actually see the dynamic between them, but it's very intriguing to me - and this scene depicted above is one of my favourite moments in all of 02.
Why is that? Because it's incredibly character-defining for BOTH of them.
Koushirou is taking care of Poromon while Miyako is on a school field trip in Kyoto and decides to pay Ken a visit, asking him about the extent of his memory on everything that has happened ever since he has become a Chosen Child. While doing so, he explains quite a few interesting lore aspects he has discovered - or rather: assumes to be correct - at this point and contextualizes it all in front of Ken; that the Digital World is capable of reading and granting people's wishes, that the events of 1999 were responsible for causing more partnerships between humans and Digimon to happen...
Ken is still rather distraught by the whole situation, he deals with memory loss and the constant feeling of guilt due to all the terrible things he has done as Digimon Kaiser. And above all of this - he is baffled at why "Izumi-san" is talking to him about all of this, why he's even bothering to deal with him. It's unclear how much he knows about how involved Koushirou was previously, but he may be aware that he was basically coordinating strategies and plans to take him down for weeks, months even. We're still in a phase in which Ken doesn't feel worthy of forgiveness, where he feels like he isn't even worth anybody's time and he'd have any reason to assume that Koushirou used to be just as fed up with him as everybody else.
Even worse - Ken is incredibly afraid of being used again. He may not be fully aware of the extent of HOW MUCH he was used by Oikawa, but he knows he was made a puppet by the likes of Arukenimon. And now Koushirou sits in front of him - and at first glance, it may appear that he is just interrogating him for the sake of gathering knowledge and information. Because he could at least be useful to them that way, right...?
But there is so much more to this and it's what makes it so beautiful to me - yes, Koushirou's main intention here seems to be to get information, he even confirms that it's in his nature to be curious and wanting to know all there is to know about the Digital World and such. However, he's doing this with incredible openness and kindness - something Ken is still not fully used to, even with the likes of Daisuke being all over him and the others slowly but steadily warming up to him.
Koushirou's whole deal - ever since the end of Adventure - is that he wants to be able to be more casual with other people. He already displayed that throughout the season by being a mentor, guidance and support to the new kids, helping in whatever way he can. The best example here is - he was the one who called Ken to warn him about the others being in danger, as his former fort was on the brink of exploding. If Koushirou hadn't told Ken, he wouldn't have rushed into the Digital World in time, he wouldn't have been able to save the world, he wouldn't have united with Daisuke, letting their hearts beat in sync to create a Jogress evolution to save the day.
And now he is sitting here in Ken's room, gently smiling at and reassuring him. Even if Ken had done cruel and terrible things, what matters to Koushirou is that they are both Chosen Children - and that they should have found him and take him under their wing before darkness could take over. There is a sense of guilt in Koushirou's voice and the expression of absolute sadness and helplessness over Ken's state is so palpable that, even though his words still seem rather matter-of-factly and polite, his body language tells it all.
And it has an impact - the distance between them visibly decreases and Ken is even able to smile in the end. He's being trusted by Koushirou to help and be part of the team, he makes him feel equal, and it's wonderful.
They're becoming better at interacting with people. It's something that isn't easy for either of them, but this scene is proof that they're on a good way - and that it could be the start of an amazing friendship as well.

hes just being messy, he was with meredith in la last wednesday and then now is like very public with gab. i actually feel pretty bad for meredith, the unfollow makes me think she thought they were more serious than they were. i dont think dating casually is a crime but all parties should at least be on the same page 😕 (no need to post this just telling you)
I’m very confused by all this and I guess y’all really don’t understand boundaries, respect, or consent. But since I’ve deleted just about 40 asks about this in the past 48 hours or so, fine. I guess we are talking about this. (Not directed at you alone or anything just my general feelings on the subject and on the fandom.) you wanna talk about Matty’s love life? Let’s talk about it.
Matty is 34 years old. Which means he’s well above the legal age of consent and, yeah, god help him, as a cis straight man, he do be acting like an absolute child sometimes, BUT it’s his life. His decisions to make.
From everything that we know about him, and especially after the ENTIRE FUCKIN WORLD turned against him over the summer, he is a lot more kind, compassionate, smart, self-aware, gentle, and pure-hearted than anyone’s ever given him credit for. Even his own fans. Say what you will about Matty Healy, but if it were me, in his shoes, I’d feel more than entitled to be Turner bitter towards the public what with the way we all (yes, we, as his fans too) have been treating him. But NOPE. Matty is a way bigger person than most of us. He didn’t say a damn thing. He kept his mouth shut and his head down and he did what he needed to do, he never let any of it deter him from being vulnerable and honest with us and putting on the best fuckin show that he could possible put on every fuckin night.
If that doesn’t earn him the benefit of the doubt then I don’t know what will.
I’m not sure why or when some of us have decided that it is our place to observe what goes on in his love life, to monitor his following/followers lists, to draw conclusions based on those numbers, or to consume public glimpses of his interior life as if it’s some tv show or movie or reality tv, even when those images are taken without his consent, and decide Meredith is not “marriage material” or Gabriette has “an aesthetic that I can finally get behind” (which, by the way, is a very sexist and disgusting thing to say about them as well as Matty, but I guess this fandom is hypocritical and will turn against its own values as soon as Matty Healy’s dick is involved), but at some point apparently that happened and we started to treat him as less than human.
Fine, fine, I’ll even give you that much. Be sexist. Be judgmental and creepy and all up his ass. But to do all that and then “feel sorry for Meredith” call him a “mess”??? When you LITERALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM?!!!!! How do know she thought it was more serious than it is??? Were you there??? Since we’re making judgements and assumptions based on the tiny fragments that we see, I’m gonna go ahead and make a judgment of my own and say since I didn’t see you in the middle holding one of his hands and one of hers, then you weren’t there. So why do you feel qualified to talk about what he may or may not have done??? Do you know him? Is he your bestie???? Did he confide in you??? Hmm? Fuckin tell me!!!!
To summarize: he’s a form of entertainment to you. You don’t care about his boundaries. And you have such a low opinion of him that (despite him proving in what is objectively one of the worst things to happen to a public figure, that he’s endlessly graceful and kind) you will comfortably assume the worst of him without A SHRED OF ANYTHING REMOTELY RESEMBLING EVIDENCE. So….why are you a fan? Hmm? Why do you feel comfortable supporting someone you think so little or and have no respect for as a human being?
If any of you really think “he deserve love” and “he deserves companionship.” Then you’d shut the fuck up, stop engaging with content that commodities and dehumanizes him, and mind your fuckin business for fucks sakes.
I mean, how would you like it if, based on a 7 second story on Instagram, or a tweet you made about your personal life or whatever, I (somehow who knows absolutely nothing about you) came up to you and was like “omg I noticed so and so has unfollowed you. Then two days later you posted a pic with this other person. You must have really crushed someone’s heart and led them on making them believe you were more serious than you actually were. And now you’re using this other person who appeared in a picture with you. That is concerning behavior my friend.” If you’re okay with me doing that to you then you and I must live wildly different realities.

Before I Go
Chapter One
AO3 Link
Chapter Three:
As expected, Roman at a drag show is absolutely hilarious.
Remus and Janus are regulars at this point, so they’re brought right to their usual table, and Roman walks uncomfortably behind them, then sits down as if the chair is going to break as soon as he sits on it.
Thankfully their usual server Mandy is there that night, and Remus can count on her to roll with any jokes he makes without asking questions.
“Remus, Janus, I take it my favorite patrons are doing just fabulous tonight?” she asks, stopping for a moment as she approaches the table.
“Only as fabulous as you look, Mandy,” Janus says, tipping his head with a flirty smirk in her direction.
“Oh hush you flatterer, I’m taken.”
“As am I,” Janus says, leaning casually on Remus’ shoulder, which earns him a kiss just on the side of his eyebrow.  “But you know, if neither of us were spoken for…”
“Or gay as the day is long,” Mandy agrees with a nod and a smirk of her own.  It’s at that point she turns and realizes there’s a third person at the table, and shifts her smile to something only slightly closer to customer service friendly.
“I didn’t realize you’d be bringing a newcomer, who’s this one?”
“This is my brother Roman,” Remus says, grinning over at Roman as the only warning for how this night is about to start going.  “He’s terrified of gay people.”
“Wha- Remus!”
“Oh hon, we don’t bite,” Mandy says, giving Roman a sympathetic smile.  She reaches over and pats him on the hand as if comforting a small child, and Remus makes a mental note to tip Mandy a little extra tonight.
Roman pulls his hand away and glares to the side, but Mandy just laughs brightly and turns back to Remus and Janus.
“I assume you’ll both want your usual?”
“You know it!” Remus says with a grin, and Janus nods next to him.
“That’ll be coming right up,” Mandy says with a smile.  She gives another smile Roman’s way before she says, “I’ll bring a menu for the frightened one.”
Roman glares at her but doesn’t say anything, and she just winks at him as she walks off.
“Did you have to introduce me like that?” Roman asks, turning his glare to Remus as soon as Mandy is out of earshot.
Remus shrugs.  “I’m just making sure she’s up to speed,” he says.  “The first drink is free for homophobic gays.”
“Remus!”
“Okay fine, it’s not actually.”
“That’s not— I’m not— shut up!”
“Sorry, I can’t hear you, I’m dying.”
“That doesn’t even make sense!”
Janus laughs from his spot on Remus’ other side, leaning forward onto the table.  “I’ve changed my mind, can we bring him everywhere?  I haven’t been this entertained in months.”
“That’s not funny!” Roman snaps.
“Mm, it’s a little funny,” Janus says, holding his fingers up to gesture ‘a little’ to Roman.
Roman growls, leaning back in his chair with a huff.  “Why did I think this was a good idea,” he grumbled.
“I don’t know, I really can’t answer that question for you,” Remus says, leaning against Janus who smiles as he pulls him closer.
Roman sighs and looks up at the ceiling for a second, then turns back to the two of them.  “Look, honestly.  Can you just do me a favor and tell me what to expect so I can be prepared for it?”
“Oh, of course,” Janus says, giving him a look.  “We’re all going to sit down and have a patient civil debate on why we should be allowed to exist, that’s all.”
Roman throws up his hands.  “Nevermind,” he grumbles.
“Oh for pete’s sake, Roman,” Remus says.  “Cheap food, dancing, music, lights, drag queens.  What did you think you were coming to?”
“I didn’t think I was coming to anything, you dragged me along,” Roman snaps.
Remus narrows his eyes.  “Well maybe I won’t next time if you’re just going to ruin it for all three of us,” he snaps back.
That seems to get to Roman, though, and he pauses.  He takes a second to look around, and Remus can see the gears turning in his head, and then see the moment he decides to be okay with it.
“You’re right,” he says with a sigh, sitting back in his chair.  “I’m sorry.”
Remus sighs, leaning over against Janus again.  “Honestly, Roman, get out of your head.  It’s fun.  You’ll enjoy it.”
Roman looks apprehensively at him.  “What makes you so sure?”
Remus shrugs.  “You were the one who was always asking Mom if you could wear her dresses,” he says.
Roman goes pale, looking around as if expecting someone’s going to smack him upside the head like their mom used to do.
“Roman,” Remus says, reaching out and grabbing Roman’s hand.  Roman looks back over at him.
“Literally no one here is going to care,” Remus says, looking pointedly at him as he says it.  “A lot of them do the same thing.  It’s okay.  Seriously.”
Roman doesn’t say anything for a moment, and then finally, he nods, looking fragile.
Remus squeezes his hand hand and gives him a smile, then lets go as he hears Mandy approaches from the other direction.
“Alright, we’ve got chicken wings and wine for Janus, an Anita Bryant Cocktail and a Bacon cheeseburger with extra guacamole for Remus,” she says, setting each down in front of both of them.  “And here’s a menu for you hon,” she adds, passing it over to Roman.  “I’ll give you a couple minutes and then come back to get your order.”
“Thanks,” Roman says as she turns around, though he’s looking at Remus’ meal with his lip curled slightly in disgust.
Remus grins at him, picks up his burger without breaking eye contact and takes a bite, making sure the guacamole dribbles out of his mouth.
“God,” Roman says, holding his hand up in front of his eyes as he looks the other direction.  “Extra guacamole implies it comes with guacamole in the first place, you know.”
“I do know!” Remus says brightly.
“Ugh.”  Roman picks up the menu and holds it in front of his face so he doesn’t have to look at Remus as he reads the options.
Thankfully, Mandy comes back pretty quickly and takes Roman’s order, because not long after he orders (nachos, onion rings, and no drink, like a loser) the lights dim and the focus turns to the stage as everyone in the bar starts cheering.
Remus can see Roman starting to look nervous out of the corner of his eye, but he just grins at him and wiggles his eyebrows a couple times to show his own excitement.
Roman gives his best attempt at a smile at Remus, then turns and faces the stage along with him and Janus.
They may frequent this particular bar, but Remus has more of an interest in new things, so he intentionally picked a show that doesn’t have anyone he’s already seen.  Plus, he figures it’ll probably be easier on Roman if they’re both going into this with the same knowledge on the specifics involved.
So, as everyone comes out on the stage and the music starts playing, Remus leans over towards Roman with another bright smile, and gets ready to enjoy the show with his boyfriend and his brother.
Roman was trying to have as few expectations as possible in regards to what tonight would be, but somehow it still managed to surprise him.
Remus was technically right in regards to the things he’d told Roman would be coming, at least when it came to music and dancing and cheap food and lights.  But he was absolutely wrong when he said no one would care.
Everyone cared that the people up on the stage were wearing dresses and makeup and weren’t being normal.  They just also happened to be extremely loud in their support of it.
Roman wasn’t actually one of the people cheering, but only because he was staring around at everyone else doing it and trying to figure out the ache in his chest.
Remus and Janus were cheering next to him, and Roman definitely shouldn’t have felt surprised by that, but… knowing they were probably okay with something and seeing that something in front of him felt a little different, he supposed.
For all Remus and Janus seemed to enjoy themselves, Roman didn’t remember much of the show itself.  What caught his attention more was the overwhelming feeling of safety surrounding him.  The loud music and the dancing and dresses and how much everyone was enjoying all of it.
Roman looked around at the tables surrounding them.  No one here was straight, were they?  And even if they were, they were a different kind of queer.  Did Remus do this kind of thing all the time?
It was near the end of the show that Roman actually managed to pay attention, just in time to join in on everyone in the bar loudly singing along to a Freddie Mercury song.
Remus turned to grin at Roman as the song finished, a clear question in his eyes before he even opened his mouth, but Roman waved him off.  He didn’t want to talk about it yet, and they wouldn’t be able to hear each other right now anyway.  Remus stuck out his tongue, clearly taking Roman’s reaction as something very different, but let it go for now.
But letting things go was not really how Remus worked, so Roman wasn’t all that surprised when as soon as they walked to the car, Remus turned to face him with a giant grin.  “So?”
Roman let out a long, drawn-out sigh.  “Are you going to say I told you so if I tell you I really loved it?”
“Yes!  I told you so I told you so I told you so, HA!”
Roman groaned and shook his head, looking down at the ground in exasperation.  “And you wonder why I don’t tell you anything.”
“I thought you didn’t tell me anything because we haven’t seen each other in over a decade and you need everyone to believe you hate me for being a filthy gay,” Remus said matter of factly, and Roman nearly choked on his own spit.
“Wow, you really haven’t seen Remus in too long if you didn’t expect him to just blurt stuff like that out,” Janus said, leaning over to pat Roman a couple times on the back.
“I figured he’d want to focus on the fun we had tonight instead,” Roman said, looking over at both of them.
“Who says I’m not?  I’m still having fun!  Are you not having fun?  That sounds like a you problem,” Remus said, giving him a toothy grin before bounding ahead towards the car.  Janus called his name, tossed him the keys, and then hung back a little, looking over at Roman.
“He forgave you a long time ago, you know,” he said.
Roman turned to stare at him.  “What?”
“Remus forgave you a long time ago,” Janus repeated.  “No matter how much I personally think he shouldn’t have.”
Roman blinked a couple times, processing that.  “…Why?” he said finally.
Janus shrugged.  “He told me how bad his coming out went,” he said.  “I understand being scared to do the same.  Even if you should have developed more of a spine eventually.”
Roman sputtered.  “Wh- I’m not—”
Janus successfully cut him off with a look.
Roman swallowed and turned to look towards the car, where Remus was standing up in the passengers seat, poking his head out the window and waving.
“Look,” Janus said, and Roman turned to face him again.  “Remus badly wants to make things right with you.  And he doesn’t have a lot of time to do it.”
Roman swallowed again, a little more of a struggle this time with the lump forming in his throat.
“So you are here because that is what Remus wants,” Janus continued.  “And I would never dare keep an opportunity like this from him.  Not— not now.”  Janus took a shaky breath of his own, and for a moment, Roman saw a mask slip.  But then Janus took a deep breath, and the mask smoothed back out over his face.
“But let me make something very clear to you,” Janus said, turning a gaze to Roman that was so viciously angry Roman actually took a step back.  “If you hurt the love of my life, you will find yourself suddenly lacking in your own.”
“Uh,” Roman said.  “Love?”
“Life.”
Roman swallowed one last time.  “…Understood,” he said weakly.
“Good,” Janus said, before turning back towards the car.  He spotted Remus waving, and precisely all of the rage melted from his face, and he walked up to the car and slip into the driver’s seat.
Roman shook himself off after a second and followed.

SUNNY, did someone ask about Aurora and Jay and whether they like kids?? Do they get along with them, are annoyed by them? Would they want kids for themselves? How have they interacted with the kids in the bg3 world so far?
No-one did, so thanks for asking B)
This is gonna be long as usual so 🐻 with me
- - -
Much like she's with people in general, Aurora is kinda bad with kids. She likes them, quite a lot in fact, but she's awkward and doesn't know how to interact with them in a natural way. She does find them so so charming though, and enjoys being around them and observing their antics. I think she admires them too for how resilient they can be, how even in the face of so many horrors they're still filled with so much of that childlike joy.
But the Urge makes interactions difficult, since they're often extra gruesome around kids (as you pointed out). She tries her best to interact casually with any kids coming her way, but I think she also keeps her distance for the most part while the Urge rages on. Yenna might be the hardest one for her, since she's someone Rory has to interact with on a regular basis. It goes well for the most part, but I think Yenna probably picks up on Rory's weird vibes and just decides to keep interactions to a minimum (maybe she thinks Rory doesn't like her? Like what did she do wrong?)
She does want kids of her own she discovers, once she's free to live life on her own terms, but she's terrified of passing on any bhaalspawn bullshit to a biological child, so that's a route she doesn't even dare explore. There are other ways of becoming a parent though, and I can see her and Shadowheart bringing up a child together at some point (and I imagine Astarion is just mommy's weird boyfriend who teaches them all the wrong things and is over there like "I hate this kid. If anything ever happens to them I'm gonna turn into John Wick tho.")
- - -
First of all, I just posted a Jay backstory bit that's been sitting in my drafts since October, which adds some context to Jay's relationship with kids already in his life.
So very firmly on the other side of the scale we have Jay, who is really great with kids, possibly even better than with most adults. He knows how to talk to them in a way that makes them feel seen and respected, while still keeping in mind that they're children. Chatting with them, joking around, providing them comfort, it all comes pretty natural to him.
He obviously has a soft spot for the tiefling orphans. Looking at them he sees a reflection of himself from 40 years ago, and many of their schemes genuinely amuse him, though some of them are uuuh a little worrying. I think he tries to sway Mol a little bit since she's their leader, to steer her away from the worst of it, but she's just too stubborn for that. Her whole ordeal with Raphael really stressed him out tbh.
Yenna is an interesting one bc usually I would just write her off and say she never joined the party (it's a bit silly tbh), but Jay absolutely would pick her up and have her tag along if he thought she would be safer with them than being on her own. I assume they get along just fine (she mostly just has the personality of "pleasant child" in-game), and I think he enjoys teaching her stuff, for better and for worse. He's totally the kind of guy who will teach kids some questionable things (often by accident), and then go "no wait, do as I say, not as I do".
I initially (like months ago) thought of him as someone who might want kids, but I'm not so sure anymore. At least not in a way where he'll actively go out of his way to have children; any child that just happens to fall into his lap is a different story. This is partly why I'm a little conflicted about Yenna post-game, like what WOULD he do? He'd be very hesitant to send any child to an orphanage unless there were no other options, so idk where she ends up.
Overall I think he's just fine being everyone's favorite uncle. The kids love him, he brings the coolest gifts, and he gets to interact with them on a frequent basis in smaller bursts. He's the first anyone asks to babysit, and he almost always says yes, much to Gale's annoyance I'm sure ("but what about our plans, love" "we can do that tomorrow, they never get time off from the kids").

Kim is a WHAT?!
It’s been one week since Dawud and Rudi moved to their new apartment. In the mean time, not much had happened. Except renovating one of the bedroom to accomdate the growing amount of people under that roof. Which means they just bought the cheapest bunk beds avalaible and Charlie kept her bedroom to herself. Hey, she’s the one who has been living there for a decade, all the other showed up in the last two years. She can’t share a room with any of them, what if they tried to kill her in her sleep? Other than that, Dawud mostly worked, meaning he barely got to interact with his new roommates, and Rudi finally got some piercings. They’d always wanted one, but their mom never let them. Sure, they were 22, but for as long as they lived under her roof, no piercings allowed.
All of this to say that one morning, Dawud was cooking himself breakfast. He had never been a good cook, but he’s trying to get better. Key word being trying.
Kino: Is this healthy, Dawud? You have to eat healthy, as you are with child. Dawud: Wh-What?? Are you insulting my weight? Kino: Why would I do that? I’m just concerned, I saw you throw up yesterday morning, which is common while expecting, so I assumed. Dawud: I threw up because I bought gas station sushi and they gave me food poisoning. Charlie: Look, let’s just rip the bandaid. I don’t know why it took an entire week to reveal it, but here’s the truth. Yes, Dawud, aliens are real, and Kim is one. Which is why they are...like that. Kino: Also Kim Graff is not my name. My actual name is Kino Gurafee. Dawud: Ok that’s funny that you spent the last week pretending to be from German cause Kino means movie in German...wait a minute.
This reveal was so surreal, told so casually in spite of it being a massive deal, Dawud hadn’t completely processed it. It’s only after pointing out the meaning of Kino’s name that it hit him. An alien, really??? Rudi, sitting nearby in the living room, was equally shocked...To be fair, they should have suspected something when they tried having a conversation in German with “Kim” and they couldn’t understand a word, which they pretended was caused by an audio processing disorder.
Kino: You see, I struggle to tell Earthlings’ genders apart. Everyone here tried to explain it to me, they all still look the same to me, male, female, cis, trans, nonbinary, intersex. I actually didn’t know Earthlings had many genders and sexes before coming to Earth, which is why when I created this form, I gave myself a mix of male and female characteristic.  Rudi: Honestly, I just thought you were nonbinary, especially since everyone refered to you in gender neutral term. Kino: I mean, by human standard I might as well be. Akva: You see Kino, I’ll give you a little trick. People who can get pregnant are the one who haves boobs, and those who don’t have boobs can’t. Kino: Oh, this makes sense, my species, the Sixaming, only have swollen mammaries while with child. Dawud: This might be the worst sentence I have ever heard in my life. Kino: So are you with child then, you do have a developed chest. Dawud: Now you’re just trying to make me feel bad about myself. Daniele: Look everyone, let’s not make fun of Kino ok. They’re an alien, from a species which only has one sex that’s able to both impregnante and get pregnant. Of course it’s going to be confusing for them that for us, reproduction is...split in two I guess? And then we assign each others arbitrary roles based on our reproductive capacity, roles which vary culture by culture by the way, but then nothing is also truly absolute. Like there are men with boobs and women with a beard, and let’s not forget trans people. No wonder they get confused!
This is the one time a year Daniele is the voice of reason. You see, he gets smarter with his glasses off, as a way of breaking stereotypes.
In the end of all of this, Kino thought it was time to reveal their true appearance. As they morphed from an attractive dark-skinned woman to a blue, still very curvy alien, though with a obviously different facial structure. Dawud had to admit, the completely black eyes were a bit off putting at first, hopefully he’ll get used to it. Then he realized...
He had to tell Audrey about this, now.

Ngl, I wasn’t going to answer this at first, but then I kept thinking about it, and now I will (just with details redacted bc it’s not relevant who it is).
I won’t treat any of this as confirmed facts (bc there’s no facts or confirmation) but hypothetically, if there’s any truth to the above:
How do I feel about it? I honestly don’t care. 🤷‍♀️
Why? Because it’s
1/ none of my business 2/ both (!) parties were at the age of consent when they supposedly got together 3/ I know nothing about the relationship, the relationship dynamic, or how mature the younger partner was at the age of 18 (given their profession, and the fact they'd already moved to a different country for work at that age, they were probably a bit more mature than other 18-year-olds tho) 4/ not every relationship with an age gap is toxic/bad/awful/gross (and certainly not what people throw so casually around these days - like it isn’t one of the most godawful things that can happen to a CHILD - p*dophelia, srsly, STOP SAYING IT OMG)
(I’m not saying you called it that, nonnie, I just see that accusation used way too often these days, right along with grooming, which again, this is not that either).
Would I have entered a relationship with an age gap like that at 18? No idea. In some ways, I was probably a bit more mature than my peers at that age, but I don’t know whether I would’ve dated someone several years my senior. Would’ve depended on what kind of person they were, and how thoughtful of the possible “power imbalance” of the age gap they would’ve been. I don’t see any reason to categorically rule it out tho.
Would I date someone several years my junior now? I don’t know either. Again, this would depend greatly on the other person and the dynamic between us. As the older party in that relationship, I’d undoubtedly be HELLA aware of a possible power imbalance, but again, if everyone is of age (!) and consenting (!), I wouldn’t categorically rule it out either.
If the above-mentioned case has indeed been a 4-year relationship at this point, I would assume that both parties are obviously happy with how the relationship has developed over the years and that while the start of it was maybe a bit "unconventional”, I definitely don’t see a problem with it, not back then, and not now. And it’s certainly not a reason for me to “cancel” anyone over this.
IDK, these days there just seems to be a certain hype to deem things “problematic” that are slightly “out of the norm”. Age gaps in particular are treated like they are the worst thing ever (I’ve been in the Voltron fandom and the amount of vitriol from ~purity-obsessed assholes Sheith fans had to deal with was next-level... 🙄), but I just don’t see it as a problem per se, or an issue that will make any relationship a terrible thing, even when the younger partner is only 18 at the beginning.
Any kind of power imbalance in a relationship can be problematic (and it gets downright terrible when the person with more power takes advantage), an age gap is just one possible component, it doesn’t have to be an awful thing tho.
No two people are the same, most 18-year-olds are not hapless children that are unable to consent, and most older ppl entering a relationship with a younger person are not predatory groomers.
People can just be people and meet at the ages they meet, fall in love, and then make it work - fully aware of the potentially difficult dynamics but navigating them in a healthy way.
And without any further knowledge about a relationship that has potentially lasted for 4 years already, I have zero issues with it.
If the whole thing is something that makes you uncomfortable tho, nonnie, that is a valid reaction, absolutely. And it makes sense that you would now wonder whether you can keep being a fan.
Without any judgement of your reaction I just wonder: what is it that makes you feel uncomfortable about this? Is it actual knowledge about something bad that happened for real (in which case I’d certainly be faster than a speeding bullet to condemn and cancel, I’ve done it before, I’d do it again), or is it more like a vague unease about the possibility of this being a not-good-thing?
I can’t tell you whether to keep being a fan, that’s something you have to find out for yourself, I would just encourage you to find out why you’re feeling like you do, and then take it from there.
Maybe just keep in mind that apart from the age gap, there’s nothing anyone knows about this [hypothetical] relationship, that would make it bad or problematic. Neither does anyone know anything about how it began, how it developed, and how esp. the older partner handled the whole thing.
Considering what we know about them, I feel like it’s fair to assume that they were fully aware of a potential imbalance tho, and that, in all likelihood, they navigated it with much care, making sure their younger partner was comfortable at any given time.
Good luck with figuring this out, nonnie, I hope you’ll be able to come to a conclusion you’re comfortable with. ❤️

Disclaimer: this got SO much longer than intended. My bad. Anyway....
My Partner said the most honest thing I think I've heard someone (who isn't a medical professional) say about my health jazz the other day.
He told me that during the 8 or so years that we knew each other, he listened/watched as stuff developed with my health (we met JUST before the great rug pull) and based on what he saw, he was skeptical & thought I was being a bit dramatic but gave me the benefit of the doubt because I'm so forthright & frank otherwise. He felt this way even after I moved in & started warning him that the bad season was approaching but kept it to himself.
He said, "Then that first cold front hit. As soon as it took you out that first day & I walked in to see you sobbing, just trying to walk to the bathroom, I knew it was all very real and not dramatic. If anything, you downplay it. You are far too casual & far too good at masking. Then you got hives for 3 days from hypoallergenic detergent that was a different brand than we usually use. At that point, I decided to just trust whatever you say about your health and your body's nonsense."
He apologized, but it's entirely understandable that he felt that way. (Especially given that his ex-wives are both hypochondriacs.) It's not a terribly well-known condition & unlike a lot of common conditions it impacts EVERYTHING. When I try to describe just a general overview or one aspect of it, people look confused & absolutely horrified. It sounds absurd that one day I will have a reaction to something, but 2 weeks later, I won't. It all sounds made up.
Apparently, he also felt that way about what I call my "detailed recall," but most would call a photographic memory. If asked where something is, I can see it in my head then see the surroundings in which I last saw it with a high level of detail & accuracy... assuming nobody has touched the item since I saw it. It works even if I just saw it in passing. And it very much sounds like one of those b.s. things people brag about because it sounds cool but can't actually do. But then I moved in & he saw it in action at least 3 times a day (because everyone else has 'disappearing item syndrome' aka ADHD) and I became [Trenchcoat-full-of-opossum] Keeper of the Stuff & Musical Knowledge Vat.
In other news, he really loves his new job and is perfect for it. It's a behavioral health alternative school so it's challenging but his first aide position was in sped and he loved it. He came home the other day & said a student was telling him that the student's twin sister has some pretty rare condition called Ehlers-Danlos. He told the student that "The Lady [His Last Name]" (which is what the kids call me when asking if I can make sketch books, lyric journals, or teach the art of making punk patches) also has it.
But at home, he was chatting with me about it, trying to figure out how to approach the situation. See, this student is FTM, and after some casual questions and such, My Partner (I'm just gonna start calling him Mr. Trenchcoat) has concerns. The other twin is the golden child, while this young gent is the scapegoat who is never good enough. Additionally, this young man gets a lot of weird sprains/strains & has an issue with sudden loud noises (even expected ones) cause his heart rate to skyrocket. Mr. Trenchcoat double-checked with me because he was pretty sure that if his sister had it, they were identical twins, and he is getting loads of absurd injuries, chances are he has EDS. This man looked at me & said, "After spending a year hearing you be more candid about your Horrifying & Tragic Backstory, especially regarding how your health was handled, I'm afraid that this boy is living a version of your early life & I don't want that for him but idk what to do to help."
I suggested maybe bringing up his concerns and reasoning to the administration. I also told him that if they want someone who can drop info in a factual but kind and understanding way about EDS in particular... or even just someone this boy can openly talk to & relate to about it, holla at ya gurl. But also reminded him that all he can do is his best to give these kids the tools & knowledge needed to survive in the world; that he can't save all of them but he can make an impact. As a kid, I was actively abused & I still remember the few really good teachers I had who cared and encouraged me. That man's heart is just too big.
The kids have all officially warmed to me. Vin (14) is making a conscious effort to 'be good' & did a full 180 (having his medication helps). Ari (10) apparently speaks extremely highly of me to their mother (ex1) about how she & I hang out and talk after school for about half an hour, I am teaching her cleaning/cooking, and since I used to tailor clothes I measured her & got her bras in the right size. Her mother text me 3 paragraphs thanking me for the way I treat them (same way i treated The Spawn & her homies). Zel (5) is having a tough go, as I predicted, but has been glued to my side either helping or saying "hey [Trenchcoat]!" followed by brief chatter every 10 seconds.
They have all separately asked me for hugs at random & said they love me. I've been accepted!!!! (And really, stepmom wise, I'm genuinely a best case scenario; i treat them like my own while deferring to bio parents in regard to handling certain stuff.) They all get jazzed about The Spawn coming by, too. Vin because he's had a crush since he was like 7. Ari because cool older girl. Zel because The Spawn plays dolls and always has a bunch of dog pics from work to show her. Also, there was one day when ex2 was refusing to bring Zel's tablet the 2 whole miles it takes to get to our house... so The Spawn volunteered to get it since ex2 still thinks they are cool. Even though The Spawn openly despised her from the jump, she was just raised properly in terms of polite civility. That act gained her mad points with the smollest of our group.

I just found your account and as a devoted zanark simp for almost 3 years now i MUST talk about him or else i will explode and die.
I would love to hear any headcanons you might have for him🙏
Also your art is absolutely adorable!!
HELLO MY FELLOW ZANARK FAN vigorously shakes ur hand 🤝🤝🤝
i think youve probably seen a bit of that here and there on my blog already but um if were talking about my favorite hcs when it comes to zanark... i read a pixiv comic once where it turned out as a result of his upbringing and the kind of childhood he had as an outcast who was always alone + then going to prison zanark never learned how to read and write and its something i like a lot 🥺 i try to casually incorporate that into everything i do w him... (i think the same thing probably goes for a lot of second stage children who had to fend for themselves since they were very young...!! who would have taught them..? though they might have learned while in feida later from other kids!! obviously that wouldnt apply to zanark though!!)
erm i always wonder what kind of relationship he has with zanark domain and i just dont think it would make sense for him to see them as friends or even just sort of part of His Gang cuz hes a loner so ive been assuming theyre actually fellow mugen prisoners who were offered a lighter sentence or other such things for helping him out against raimon after omega 3.0 got sent to loser baby jail so far. most of them really respect his strength so there arent any issues abt his attitude mostly but like yeah i just cant see him respect them enough to be his friends or even associates lawl theyre like his fans to me. lord zanark fanclub pal pack and all that
also i think he doesnt care to learn most peoples names because its funny to me and hes just that self centered. he knows raimon as a unit and nishiki personally by name but like thats it. not his full name though which really annoys nishiki because hes got this whole thing about having the same name as sakamoto ryouma and that was when he saved his life and stuff he should KNOW this.
OH WAIT i do actually have actual hcs about him and shit. i just checked my notes. i like to think hes not completely bullshitting everyone when he calls himself a nameless nobody from nowhere (this rolls off the tongue way better than what he literally says in jp you have to admit) so imo he did actually grow up on the streets (see first paragraph) after being abandoned (and specifically abandoned i dont think hes an orphan i think his parents left him behind like fei cuz he was freaky lol) and he really did not have a name until he got caught by el dorado and they had to put a name on his file and zanark avalonic was just what he thought of in the moment. but it slaps so hes allowed to do his bit about being nameless with a name. if i thought of something that good i would also add it to my catchphrase even if it makes it not make sense anymore.
and i also thought about his crimes before and personally what i think is. its mostly stuff like stealing and property damage, maybe specifically the theft of a timecraft and unlicensed time travelling + modifications to the time route as separate heavier offenses, and i wont rule out some fisticuffs and injuries to other people but its definitely not something Huge like killing people. i think he mostly is considered That dangerous a criminal bc of his attitude and of course his being a second stage child and not because he did some Massive Awful crime or something. but thats also kind of related to what i think about el dorado and second stage children which isnt necessarily what canon suggests near the end... but well thats a whole other subject. all this to say that i DID ponder his crimes for a while.
UM I WILL STOP THERE LAWL thank you so much for liking my art and finding it cute <3 i know his design and voice dont help his case but it was really upsetting for me to find out that some people dont even seem to realize he is a child 😭 calling him a grown ass man and whatnot so im making it my lifes mission to draw him looking ever so slightly more his age🥴
Tumblr media
btw heres my favorite pic of him from baku gaidenshuu. CHOMP

Sorry it’s so long thanks for you time!!

Tumblr media
Glamrock Freddy.
Tumblr media
You've been with Freddy for some time at this point.
He always knew you had such parental energy from the moment he laid eyes on you. It honestly makes him swoon for you even more.
Like, you just ooze of someone so caring when it comes to children, almost as if you have years experiences when it comes to them.
Little did he know that you absolutely do-
The reason that he didn't know about your son is because you never really brought him up, not to the animatronics' at least.
And it's not like he can check your job profile, it didn't have a question on whether or not you're a parent, just whether or not you have experiences dealing with kids and how old you are.
Which can just mean you were a preschool teacher in the past, how can he assume you actually have a child??
And honestly, you didn't really wanna tell him for some time- that time being how long you've known him for, which is months.
But your kid's birthday is coming soon, and you wanted to celebrate together, sooo...
The moment you approached him, you were practically sweating buckets.
I mean, you know he's not gonna be upset or anything, he's one of the most supportive and understanding being you ever known.
But it doesn't mean that you can't be nervous-
When you finally sit him down and told him you have a son, it took him a while to process.
But then his ears perked up and his eyes practically glittered!
He's beyond excited to meet who the little fella is!
Oh God oh shit wait does that mean he's a dad?? An actual father???
He's absolutely buzzing from joy thanks to this news!! You better bring your little boy so Freddy can meet him 😡
He'll be bothering you about this all night- even after he apologized three times for potentially annoying you while you're on your nightguard duties.
Look man he's just very excited:((
Tomorrow comes and Freddy just finished decorating his little room, hoping that your son will like it.
But the arrival of you and your little semi-clone is what surprised him the most.
As you guide Gregory who's currently on a blindfold, you told him to stop right before he walked into the table with the cake on it.
Freddy is just like "??? Why is Gregory here?", but it clicked in his mind like two seconds later.
His eyes widen so hard he can probably see planet pluto with it.
He didn't want to interrupt Gregory's attempt at guessing where he is so he kept quiet, and once you've opened his blindfold.
"Surprise, sweetheart! This is-"
"Surprise, superstar! I've missed you so much!"
???
WHAT.
You were about to ask him what he meant but then-
"Freddy! I've missed you too! I didn't know you'll be here?"
Wait huh-
You're just there looking at them cause like? Huh? You two know eachother? From where???
"Ahem," the two of them avert their gazes towards you, as you fold your hands by your chest, looking for answers.
"Any of you care to explain?"
Gregory just kinda look at Freddy, panic written in his eyes as he obviously forgot that you had no idea about him sneaking in. And even causing some property damage...
Freddy took notice of this and slowly hint at Greg to go hide behind him, looking at you with tender eyes in hopes that you'll cut Gregory- no, both him and Gregory some slack.
Please spare em some mercy,,
"You see, Starlight... Gregory and i-"
"You even know his name?"
"Well, yes- but that's because we've met eachother you see."
You're just looking at Gregory who's behind Freddy's legs with those parental eyes, we all know em.
"Spill."
"It wasn't my fault!! I was trying to find you after school so i went here, but all i could find was that scary blonde lady.."
You put two of your fingers on your temple, trying to understand what he's telling you.
"Gregory, did it not occur to you that maybe, just maybe, i was at home? And what do you mean ‘after school’, the show starts at 8 pm."
Uh oh Gregory, you're busted, again.
"W-well.. i maaaybe took a detour and.."
"Gregory."
Freddy, noticing the tense atmosphere immediately got in the way of you two, as he then puts a hand on your shoulder to calm you down.
"Hey.. dearest, let's calm down, alright? It's the boy's birthday today! Cut him some slack, hm?"
"Right, before that. Greg, where were you actually when you weren't at home and told me that you were ‘spending the night at a friend's house’?"
Silence, even Freddy seems like he's hesitant in saying something.
"Gregory."
"I may or may not was... Here... With Freddy... But i was just trying to go home all night, i swear!"
You took a glance at Freddy for confirmation.
"That's right, dear!! He just, accidentally stayed a bit too long- which is my fault! And got trapped here due to closing time... Oh, but i did tried my best to keep him safe!"
Honestly? You're not worried all that much if Freddy kept him safe or not, it was such a great gesture sure, and the thought of it got you swooning a bit.
But like...
Gregory is your son, you know what he's capable of, and you know exactly the kind of trouble he has gotten himself into in the past.
Escaping a facility full of Animatronics that roams at night? Yeah that ain't gonna take your son down.
Still,, you're gonna need to look at his body for injuries once you get home, even though he may seem alright at the moment.
"So, the ‘little kid that snuck in and did some heavy property damage’ that Vanessa told me during her taking up my shift. That was you? Not only do i have to pay her back for having to deal with this type of trouble while covering for me, but also knowing that the one making that trouble is my own son? And the one that helped him did it, is the animatronic I'm dating?"
..
...
....
"..M-maybe it's time for some cake-?"
"...Yeah, i wanna eat my cake now.."
Goddammit.
How are you supposed to get mad at them now??
You sighed, letting both the bear animatronic and the kid go, you're gonna have to explain this to Vanessa somehow, but you're just thankful Gregory didn't let himself get caught by the security cameras. Or at least not enough for them to recognize him.
You're a bit proud of him for that tbh, and for being able to survive a whole night without crying or just,, trauma,, in general.
I guess you can let this slide... He is your feral child anyhow.
"Alright well, fine. I'll let this slide, for now. But only because you managed to impress me in some ways."
Freddy was happy you let this go, and was a bit surprised by your parenting skills. Still, he took the lighter and gave it to you, lighting the candles that is on Gregory's birthday cake.
"Happy Birthday, Darling."
"Happy Birthday, Superstar."
",,thanks guys! And (mom/dad)?"
"Hm?"
"I'm sorry :("
You sighed, petting him on the head. Might as well give him a nice birthday.

Montgomery Gator.
Tumblr media
Now with Montgomery, everyone practically knew you were with him.
Since he loves showing you off to everyone, at this point it's obvious.
At one point, you kinda just blurted out that you have a kid, which in results have him really curious about your little guy.
He just wants to know if they're cool or not, who knows, maybe them two can both have some rockin' fun together!
He can teach him the Bass, cause some ruckus together and all will be well and dandy.
So you told him about Gregory, his age, how he is, etc etc.
The Gator CANNOT WAIT to meet him.
Though he kept saying that the name is kinda familiar, he just doesn't know from where, so he shrugged it off.
Back on topic; a little dude that is an absolute rowdy rascal?? He needs to meet him.
So you promised the animatronic that you'll bring your son when you can.
Which turns out to be around the next week.
Monty was playing in his golf area when you told him that your son is going to come soon.
My mans was so surprised he even missed his shot smh.
I mean, it's not like he forgot about it, haha, hahaha.
Yeah he forgot about the whole meeting your son thing. 😔
The only reason the little troublemaker can come today is because he doesn't have school the next day, so he can visit the Pizzaplex even when it's after-hours.
When Gregory arrived, he called you to ask where you were, in which you said you'll just pick him up at the entrance.
Now, when you told him to follow you into Monty Golf, he surprisingly walked ahead of you, as if he knew where it is.
And he did, somehow.
When you're at the entrance of Monty Golf, he stopped, waiting for you to catch up before asking to hold your hand when coming in.
Then the part where he meets Monty..
"Alright! Gregory, this is the person, well, animatronic who i wanted you to-"
"YOU."
You flinched, hearing Monty's voicebox boomed.
The animatronic stomped his way up to the poor boy, as he immediately hides behind you.
"AAAA (MOM/DAD) HELP!!!"
He pulled on your wrist, stumbling as he's trying to drag you to the exit.
As Monty walks menacingly towards Gregory, you got in front of him, pushing away the green animatronic.
"OKAY OKAY, WHAT'S GOING ON."
The way you raised your voice got both of them to stop, as you try to make sure no one gets hurt.
"THAT LITTLE BRAT IS THE REASON I WAS IN PARTS AND SERVICES FOR A WHOLE MONTH AND A HALF!"
"YOU WERE CHASING ME!!!"
"QUIET."
And the room falls silent, as you try to understand the current situation.
"Alright, explain. One at a time."
Yeah... Did you really think that'll work?
Both of them headbutts with eachother, trying to get you to side with them.
You rolled your eyes, as you try to make sense of what they're yelling at eachother.
"YOU FUCKING RIPPED ME IN HALF."
"YOU WERE TRYING TO FLIPPING RIP ME IN HALF!"
"Language- wait hold on. Gregory did what to you?"
A moment of silence began once more, before the bigger, metal built one out of the two scoffed, obviously displeased.
"Yeah, this rascal here, he threw the whole shitty bucket from my own goddamn area and-"
"Language."
"...and it fu- And it broke me in half."
He immediately fixed himself, trying to not disobey your warnings, no matter how annoying it may be to him.
Poor Gregory is just there looking at you like 🧍
You looked down at him, arms crossed as Monty had a smirk of satisfaction, thinking that he successfully got you to side with him.
"Two questions. One, how did you even ended up here, two, was the thing he said true? And you better say no."
He looks down, fiddling along as he slowly moves back.
You don't even know what happened when suddenly Gregory just goes >:(
Hands on his hips as he looks up, determined.
"HE-" The boy pointed, "WAS HUNTING ME DOWN!"
"He what-"
"WOAH THERE YOU LITTLE SHIT, I WAS TRYING TO GET YOU BACK TO YOUR PARENTS."
"LIAR!!! EVEN FREDDY TOLD ME NOT TO GET NEAR YOU, HE WAS WITH ME THE WHOLE TIME! AND YOU WERE JUST JUMPING AT ME WHICH WAS REALLY SCARY!"
"Kid, you fucking DESTROYED ME."
"GOOD."
"SHUT UP."
Finally, they calmed down.
You look at the both of them, intense glaring meeting both of their gazes.
After some time, they finally explained to you what happened, in which you responded with a big exasperated sigh.
"Look, i don't know how, but i want you two to get along." You told them, hand by the temple of your forehead to get rid of the headaches. Soon after, you go home with Gregory.
The first few days of your son coming with you to work that only happens on weekends finally started.
Yeah.. they didn't get along.
At first at least ;)
They had their banters, fighting for your attention.
"Does he always harass you like this??"
"Watch your mouth you fuckin' brat."
But soon enough they'll get along if they can actually move past the fact that they were out for eachother's throats-
Like when Gregory told him he can do golf better than him.
Monty was pissed- but it ended up well with them being competitive!!
They'll even cause some trouble by just stomping around the Pizzaplex with Gregory on Monty's shoulders AWE.
Or that time where they went to piss off Roxanne on purpose.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY YOU LITTLE SHITS."
"HAHAHA LANGUAGE!!!"
Cue Gregory wheezing.
Good job!! Now you have two crackheads to look after <3
Tumblr media
Sunnydrop.
Tumblr media
Now, this fella...
I think it's pretty obvious that he was absolutely ECSTATIC when he knew you have a kid!!
I mean, he's practically made to get along with kids sooo.
He would be BEGGING for him to meet your son.
"OOO gosh! I wonder what type of kid he is!!! Is he bad? Of course he isn't!! He's your son afterall! OH OH, MAYBE WE CAN DO FINGER PAINTING TOGETHER, what kind of food does he like???"
Like, smh, calm down Sun🧍
Watch out, cause he'll absolutely bother you about it from now on.
Trying to go home?
"OH OH! Goodbye, Sunshine!! Tell your even little-r Sunshine i said hi!!"
Just arrived at work?
"RISE AND SHINE! You look splendid today! How is little Gregory? Is he at school?? Ooh, i wanna see what he's like at school!!"
You constantly need to remind him that you two have work to do.
But at one point in time, you need to take Gregory with you because he doesn't have school, and you don't trust him enough to let the ten year-old boy be alone in your house for a whole day.
It took a little convincing since he for some reason seemed so against going to the Pizzaplex, but you managed to win him over with-
"I'll let us get McDonald's once I'm done with work."
"I want a Happy Meal AND a Mcflurry."
"??? No sir, you just had ice cream yesterday."
"Well then I'm not going."
"Gregory."
"I want a Mcflurry."
"You had ice cream last week too, you'll get sick."
"I don't care. >:("
"Gregory, i literally work at a Pizza place, you can have as much snacks there, just no ice cream."
"...fine, but can i at least play on your phone?"
"I'm very sure you have an ipad."
"It isn't as fun:("
With a sigh, you let out a small "fine." as he finally cheers at him own little victory, getting ready at the same time.
As you finally arrived to drop him off at the daycare to be looked over by Sun at the moment, the Sun persona jumped out of nowhere.
"(Y/NNNN)!!! HOORAY! Oh you brought a little guy! Hello, little on- GAH RULE BREAKER, RULE BREAKER! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE! YOU'RE BANNED."
He yelled out, as he suddenly moves forward and picked up Gregory with ease. Carrying him all the way to the exit of the Daycare.
"AND STAY OUT!!"
Gregory kinda just let Sun do his thing, almost as if he knew this would happen.
You had to ask Sun directly on why he did what he did, and his answers shocks you.
"Wait, he was here? Like, here? In the Pizzaplex?"
"YES! And he broke the one rule i told him not to! He's nothing but a trouble maker!"
The way he folded his arms and sassily look away was so funny, you couldn't help but Chuckle. Gregory is still outside by the exit of the Daycare like 🧍.
Poor Gregory 😔.
You had to call him back again after convincing Sunny, explaining what happened.
"IT WAS AN ACCIDENT THOUGH!! I didn't mean to turn off the lights.."
"I WARNED YOU!!! And you didn't listen to me! >:("
"BUT I DIDN'T MEAN IT :("
You had to ask Gregory how he even was here in the first place, with a facepalm by the end of your talk.
Sun sided with you, both of you crossing your arms with a disappointed and a bit of anger on both of your faces as you look down on him.
"Well, i suppose I'm just glad you're safe. But you're in so much trouble young man."
"That's right! Can't wait to tell this to your parents. >:(("
A moment of silence rung as you look at him, obvious confusion seen on your face.
"Sunny?"
"Hm?"
"I'm his (mom/dad). Haven't i told you that?"
..
WHAT.
He looks at you with so much surprise that he felt like he needed to express it with his whole body, before looking at Gregory.
"So he's your son?!?!"
"Uh, yeah, i am."
"WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?!"
He picked up Gregory once more, swinging him around in delight. Even tossing him up lightly.
Gregory being banned from the Daycare??? What are you talking about?? Never happened. :)
He would absolutely do a 180 on Gregory and treat him with very obvious favoritism.
And also emphasizing to NOT turn off the lights.
It's bad enough before he was just a kid, but now knowing he's your son??? Yeah he's making sure he's safe at all costs.
After that day, he'll bug you EVEN MORE to bring Gregory again.
He'll even prepare stuff for Gregory this time, what his favorite activities are, etc etc.
Peace and quiet? Never heard of it.
Good luck, comrade.

You can't believe this. No, you simply refuse to believe that your brother would betray you like this.
You knew something was up when your younger brother kept pestering you to help him with a spell. Admittedly, between the two of you, your magic has always been a lot stronger than his. In fact, you were a child prodigy during your Academy days, which is why your brother could never understand why you suddenly became disinterested in learning magic. Still, despite your disinterest, you still remember some of the complicated spells you learned back then so you'd genuinely thought that he was being persistent because he wanted you to teach him one of those spells or maybe something that's even more complicated. Technically, you were correct about the latter. This spell is indeed way more complicated than anything the Academy would teach young mages. In fact, the Academy doesn't teach this spell at all because it's a goddamn demon summoning spell.
Demon summoning. Even before finding out the true purpose of this spell, you were so taken aback by how violent this spell felt that you immediately reevaluate your life decisions as soon as you cast it. Dread filled your stomach as you watched it burn the ground to create this complicated sigil that you've never seen before in your life, followed shortly by this strange scarlet flame bursting out of it. Only then did you realize that perhaps you shouldn't have cast this spell and evidently, you were correct to think that because now there's a demon right in front of you.
Oh, this is bad. This is really, really bad.
You're so scared that you can't help but froze while your brother cheered, clearly thrilled that this actually works. You can't even hear what he says as panic and terror cloud your mind. Didn't that strange lady next door get in so much trouble after the Archmage found out that she was working with demons? What would become of you now? Would they believe you if you tell them that you had no idea about this spell before you cast it? You really hope they would but you don't like your chances.
"Who are you, demon?" your brother asked, unable to hold back his excited grin as he interacts with this dark haired demon.
From his appearance, you'd have to assume he's either higher mid-tier or-- gods forbid-- high tier demon. He looks demonic, yes, but he doesn't look absolutely horrendous like most lesser demons do. In fact, he's built like those shirtless sculptures of the gods you've seen in the temple; muscular and very, very tall. That wasn't the first thing you noticed, though. The first thing you noticed was how much he resembles a dragon. He has dark purple scales on the sides of his face and the upper side of his pointy ears, and he has four horns that's facing backward with slight curve in the middle that remind you of a dragon's horns. In fact, his wings also remind you of a dragon so you can't help but wonder if that's his final form.
Then there's his eyes. Those cat-like, glowing scarlet eyes feel as though they're looking into the depth of your soul, surrounded with grey sclera that's only slightly darker than the greyish shade of his skin. You can feel the hair on the back of your neck stood as your eyes met with his and you'd never look away quicker you felt as though you nearly got a whiplash. The demon stares at you for a moment, before glancing at your brother.
"I don't answer to you, mortal," he said and as soon as that deep voice left his mouth, you knew that voice would haunt your nightmares from now on. That is, if the Archmage didn't get you first. "You, on the other hand," he returns his attention to you, causing you to scream internally from how intimidated you feel. "You managed to summon me just by yourself, which is no small feat. You've truly impressed me so you may call me Deucalion."
You feel like you're about to pass out. "Thank you..." you tried to sound casual, but your voice came out really shaky instead just like how your body trembles in fear under his intense gaze. He frowned seeing your reaction. He'd expected you to rejoice like your brother, but you seem absolutely terrified instead. Didn't you summon him?
"I'm familiar with your kind, human--" your heart sank as he casually left the sigil area to approach you. This made you subconsciously step back as you don't feel safe being too close with him, which in turn caused him to stop on his track with this curious look on his face. "Huh. Most curious. Your kind never summoned a demon for nothing and yet here you are, trembling like a newborn deer. So, pray tell, what is it that you so desperately wish that you decided to summon me?"
What do you even say to that? You can't possibly say that you wish this never happened, can you? What if he gets angry? You glanced at your brother, hoping that he'd at least help you out now. Really, you'd forgive him for this if only he'd say something to get this demon's attention away from you.
Much to your dismay, however, your brother said nothing. Instead, he looks like he's in awe that this demon wouldn't answer to him and yet seems to be interested in talking to you. Now you want to strangle him, although you were quick to set that thought aside and think of something else. You once heard that demons could sense violent urges and you're not about to risk him strangling your brother for you, thinking that's what you truly want. Your throat feels dry as you glanced at the demon in front of you and you feel as though you're trapped in a quicksand as the gravity of the situation slowly sinks in. You need to do something and you need to do it fast.
"I, uh... can you excuse me for a minute?" you asked, your eyes still looking at everywhere else but him. "There's something I need to do."
He raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued to see what you're about to do. "Oh?"
"Yes. I'm sure it wouldn't be long..." you tell him as you slowly retreat. You were about to leave the room when your brother grabbed your arm, confusion written all over his face as he looks at you. You had to inhale deeply to prevent yourself from reaching for his neck.
"Where are you going??" he asked quietly as if the demon couldn't hear the two of you if he's whispering. He definitely could but he decides to just watch the two of you argue.
"Fuck off!" you hissed as you yanked your arm away from him. "This is a crime, you fool! You know what happened to that strange lady so why would you do this to me?!"
"They wouldn't find out if we're careful!" he argued and you let out a laugh of disbelief. "Why are you not happy? You managed to summon a high tier demon without any help! Do you not realize how awesome that is?"
"A high-tier--" you nearly screamed at him, but you stopped yourself. Somehow this situation kept getting worse and worse but you know yelling at each other wouldn't fix this. That strange lady got punished severely for working with a lesser demon, what would happen to you if someone were to find out that you literally summoned a high-tier demon? No, you simply can't allow that. You need to come clean to them. Maybe then they wouldn't be as angry as they would be if you didn't confess.
Unfortunately, your brother didn't seem to get the hint and still tries to stop you, which made you so frustrated you nearly cried as you know the longer you allow this to go on without saying anything to any authority figure in the Tower, the worse it'll be for the two of you. That is, assuming your brother wouldn't throw you under the bus since apparently he's not above tricking you.
"You didn't answer my question! Where are you going?" he demanded once again.
"I'm going to the Archmage's Tower to turn myself in! There? Happy??" you snapped at him, although you still keep your voice as low as you could.
"Now why would you do that?"
The two of you froze as you heard that deep voice from right behind you. You slowly turn your head, your body is shaking like a leaf as you once again meet his eyes. He doesn't look angry at all, he still looks intrigued more than anything but your fear riddled mind twisted that look of intrigue into something more sinister, especially when he easily lifts you off the ground by the back of your shirt as if you're a tiny kitten.
"P-Please, sir, I am a law abiding citizen..." you tried to plead your case. "I didn't know that spell would summon you. My brother had tricked me, you see, so I really, really had no idea."
"Hey!" your brother protested but you ignored him. Until he realizes what he did, you don't think you'd have the patience to deal with him especially when you're incredibly stressed as it is.
The demon's eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he glanced at your brother who just grimaced at him, then at you again. "So that's why you wish to turn yourself in?" he asked.
"Yes. Maybe if I confess and tell them that I had no idea, they would be more lenient with the punishment..." you said, your voice became smaller and smaller as he leaned forward, making you painfully aware how small you are compared to him. Don't demons know about personal space? Probably not and you're not about to ask either.
"Foolish girl." His words sent chill down your spine as a low chuckle left his mouth. "Tell me, how forgiving is your Archmage?"
You wish you know the answer to that. Unfortunately, Archmage Helios is rather elusive so hardly anyone that doesn't work directly with him knows anything about him. You don't even know what he looks like, although you did hear something about butterflies following him wherever he goes. Personally you don't think that's true but you could be wrong.
"I, uh, I'm not that familiar with him, I'm afraid," you answered meekly.
"In my experience, Archmages are not the most forgiving bunch. In fact, they have no tolerance to anything that involves my kind so I don't think turning yourself in would be the wise thing to do," he tells you as he casually moved some stray strands of hair from your face, tucking them behind your ear. It's an innocent gesture but for some reasons it feels really threatening to you. Perhaps it's the claws but you would rather not to think about it.
"Still... I don't think I can hide this anyway so I thought... maybe... might as well..." you rambled, slowly losing your track of thoughts to the intensity of his glowing eyes. His frown only deepens after hearing your reason but much to your relief, he finally pulls away although he still hasn't let go of you.
"You have a gift, why waste it?"
You didn't answer. You know little about high-tier demons but you're pretty sure it's unwise to tell them your tragic backstory. Who knows, he might be able to use it against you somehow and you're not about to risk it. Your reluctance to answer didn't go unnoticed by him, however, and you could see this fascinated glint in his eyes.
"My, my. Does our little mouse have a secret she doesn't wish to tell?" he asked, a grin broke upon his face and your gaze immediately fixed on his elongated canines. "No matter. It's fine if you don't wish to tell me now. I have all the time in the world to earn your trust, after all. Who knows, maybe it is fate that you unwittingly summoned me today."
Your breath hitched in your throat. Does that mean he plans to stay? Your question is soon answered as scarlet flame covered the demon's entire body, drawing a yelp from you. You quickly covered your face with your arms in fear that the flames would burn you since he's still grabbing the back of your shirt. However, although it does feel hot against your skin, it didn't burn you. Perhaps it would've if it'd lasted a bit longer, but fortunately for you, the flame only lasted few seconds at most.
Your heart was thumping wildly against your chest as you slowly removes your arms from your face, not knowing what to expect. What just happened? You hesitantly opened one of your eye only to freeze like a deer in headlights as the man in front of you no longer looks like a demon. No, he's a human now, or at least he looks like the human version of himself, although his scarlet eyes remain. He's not even wearing an armor anymore, he's wearing casual clothing as if he's just a harmless regular man that just happens to be very tall and well-built.
"Do really you plan to stay? Here? With us??" your brother asked as if it's not obvious already. The demon's wicked grin immediately vanished as he glared at your brother, the corner of his mouth curled into a disgusted sneer. Have they met each other before? you wondered. Why is he so hostile toward him??
"Not for you, traitor," the demon retorted, venom dripping from his tone. "Don't talk to me ever again if you wish to keep your head."
That definitely shuts your brother up.
"But... wouldn't the Archmage know if he returns?" you meekly asked, worried that his hostility would be turned to you after he literally threatened to behead your brother.
"Oh, he would. Any Archmage would," he answered, shrugging nonchalantly as if your life wouldn't be on the line if that ever happens. If you didn't feel like throwing up before, you do now.
"Then...?"
"If that happens, I'll just bring you with me to the Abyss. You're too interesting to die so soon, after all."
His words echo in your mind as you try to process it. Seems like you really messed up this time, didn't you?

Genshin Impact Men Jealousy HCs
head cannons for when someone flirts with their darling. very slight nsfw and umm spoilers about Zhongli’s identity?
Characters:  Kaeya, Zhongli, Xiao, Childe, and Scaramouche  
a/n    Hey everyone, thank you so much for all the support you have shown towards our blog! We were planning to publish A Rose Made of Chains Ch 6, but I have really been struggling with stress and depression recently. To make up for that, I have written some Genshin Impact HCs and want to share (I’ve never written for Genshin before so don’t bully me lmao). Let us know if you enjoy and would like a part 2 for the women (tell us if I forgot any characters, I just wrote who I simp for the most), anyways send in requests please (it’s taking some time for me to do them, but I promise I started quite a few)!  Again, I’m really sorry for the inconsistent upload schedule. I’ll try not to let it happen again, I’ve just been having a really bad two weeks and Valentine’s day did not help LMAO. 
Sincerely Coffee  
Tumblr media
Kaeya 🧎‍♀️        
- No one flirts with you as much as Kaeya does. Seriously, this man does not even try to hide how attracted he is to you. Which is why you don’t think he likes you in that way. 
- He’s a flirty guy so you just brush it off, even though everyone tells you how in love he is with you. This man doesn’t flirt with anyone as much as he flirts with you, but you hardly notice.  
- All of his buttered words and light touches work to his favor though because people seldom flirt with you, just assuming that you’re already taken. 
- You guys aren’t even dating, but everyone assumes as much. It doesn’t help when he tells practically everyone that you’re his darling. Plus you two spend almost every moment together due to work and how close you are.  
- Makes a big show of his affection. You two could just be walking around on a patrol or something and he’ll sling his arm around your shoulder or wrap a hand around your waist and pull you close to his side.        
- Eye fucks you all the time. How do you not notice?? He’s always looking at you and taking in your appearance. He finds you very attractive, ok.    
- Calls you a lot of pet names. Some to make you laugh, some to make you blush, and some that he genuinely really likes (darling and love are his favorites and he casually calls you that in front of the knights which makes your heart just spasm)
- He really likes taking you out to drink wine (or something non-alcoholic if you’re not into that). Especially if it’s just you two having a nice private dinner under the stars. Genuinely, he views these as dates, but your dense ass thinks he’s just being nice.  
- Has definitely jokingly asked if you wanted to kiss him during these dates. You don’t really understand what he’s trying to do so you always politely decline. Makes him a little upset, but he’ll disguise it with a laugh and continue to enjoy his night with you. 
- Sometimes he gets you cute gifts such as sweets or roses (unless you don’t like flowers like my co-author Tea ~smh she’s so picky~) which starts to clue you in a little on his seriousness about dating you. This man melts if you gift him a fine bottle of wine or a set of artifacts. 
- He’s fallen in love so hard with you and is not really sure how to process it. Just pushes through with the only way he knows how, being playful and highlighting his commitment issues (which he is trying to fix as he realizes this might be something you’re not into) 
- You work together (whether that be as an adventurer or fellow knight) which makes the cavalry captain really happy. He enjoys spending a lot of time with you. He also insists on going with you for any solo missions. Also takes you with him for basically any quest.   
- He’s so clingy and wants you to spend as much time as possible with him. Kind of annoys you when he follows you around like a puppy, but he’s really cute so you just suck it up. Also, he absolutely loves training with you, it’s never serious but sometimes he gets the chance to shoot off some more witty one liners at you (~cOoL iT~)          
- If he notices that you’re not too receptive to his advances, then he withdraws for a bit. That is until he starts anew with a fresh wave of flirtatious greetings and new date ideas. Doesn’t really want to overwhelm you and is fairly respectful with his advances after more and more failed attempts of asking you to be his S/O. 
- While most people get the message that you’re taken, although not yet officially, and really like the two of you together, there are still others who don’t see the appeal of you and Kaeya
- *cough* Diluc *cough* 
- Now Diluc still cares a lot about Kaeya, despite the tension, but he just doesn’t think you two are a good match. He’s aware of Kaeya’s commitment issues and doesn’t want that to hurt you. 
- He also likes you, so if you’re into him then might as well shoot his shot, right. 
- Now Kaeya is usually a pretty laid back and cool guy. That is until it comes to Diluc, especially if he’s getting too close to someone who he’s been putting a lot of effort and time into courting. 
- He does not react well to his adoptive brother flirting with you. You would expect someone as level headed as him to keep that jealousy in right? Well, Kaeya does little to curb or hide it. 
- When he sees the fiery haired man by your side, Kaeya is quick to break it up. Comes to your side to drag you with him or has someone pull Diluc away for “business”
- If yours and Diluc’s interactions continue then Kaeya will continue to get more and more annoyed. If he sees Diluc actively trying to flirt with you then that’s going to be the last straw for him. 
- Watching your eyes twinkle up at his brother and not at him, as Diluc asks if you’d like to talk more over dinner at his tavern, fuels Kaeya on. He quickly approaches the two of you and pulls you into him as he grips your face and locks his lips with yours. You’ll be pretty shocked and won’t really kiss back at first but you’ll eventually return the gesture and make an uncomfortable scene in the middle of Mondstadt. He hopes that this has shown you how seriously he’s into you, because Kaeya does not get jealous over anyone. 
- This experience has honestly been a good push for him to prove how much he loves you. At this point, Diluc has left (he was sort of planning on this to happen?) and Kaeya feels comfortable enough to tell you how he feels about you. Decides that he really likes the way your lips feel and makes a mental note to assault you with kisses more often. 
- Jealous Kaeya is uncommon, but he doesn’t try to hide it if he is seriously jealous. While he’s working to make that more healthy by telling you, it usually just manifests itself in him acting more inappropriate with you around the person. Not that you’re really complaining, his more possessive actions where he is showing you off in front of others asserts the fact that you are together even more. 
Tumblr media
Zhongli (with a Harbinger reader cause I’m trash for those fics) 
-  So you and Zhongli have an interesting dynamic. You’re probably going to be a harbinger and that’s mostly why you’re not too shocked when he tells you later on in your relationship that he’s Rex Lapis. Like, he’s just too sexy to not be a God. Also, he is not as slick as he thinks he is. I’m sorry babe, no one else is that obsessed with ancient Liyue culture. 
- No one really gets your relationship. People think you’re trying to exploit him and others think he’s playing you. They’re all wrong though. The two of you love and care for the other deeply. 
- You’re also the only one genuinely interested in how much he talks about Liyue and the past. Let him dork out, please, it's so cute. 
- He’s a fairly serious person and very proper around you in public. That being said, he really loves interlocking his fingers with yours and holding your hand at work or on dates outside. 
- When you’re behind closed doors he’s much more affectionate. Really likes holding you or leaving kisses across your face and neck. Also loosens up quite a bit with you, he’s much more relaxed and cracks a few jokes with you.
- Also you have so much mora. That’s what happens when you’re one of the most terrifying leaders of the Fatui I guess. He never has to worry about forgetting the currency with you around. Still spoils you though as he’s quite the gentleman (he really likes seeing you beam at him when he gives you gifts)  
- Doesn’t mind your job. He encourages how independent you are and how passionate you are about your work. He’s willing to overlook the things you do, due to how much love he holds for you.  
- Seriously, Zhongli has never felt this way for anyone, at least not for a long long time. Which is why he strongly dislikes it when others think that they can get between you two. 
- He knows he’s an attractive person (come on he’s literally a God) and he’s very secure about the strength of your relationship. Although sometimes he gets a little worried you’ll leave him if you reflect on your mortality. Manz is terrified you’ll want someone who won’t outlive you. You’re always reassuring him that this isn’t going to happen. I swear you’re so amazing to him, he SWOONS when you’re being comforting.
- Of course there are always idiots thinking that they have a chance with you. He doesn’t get jealous, but he gets incredibly annoyed. Also more of his dragon like traits will show up if he decides to confront the mortal. He usually doesn’t get that upset though. USUALLY.
- One of the best scenarios of a more aggressive Zhongli is when he sees you and your colleagues together. He knows that you would never want to pursue a romantic relationship with any of your fellow harbingers. He doesn’t mind the presence of some of the more quiet harbingers like Scaramouche. 
- He really dislikes when you gush over your days working with Tartaglia though. He wouldn’t mind if it was just you talking about your work, but when he has to see the two of you, just pure annoyance and this gross nagging feeling in his head. 
- Low key will diss Childe to you and tell you about his more embarrassing moments.  
- This annoyance will be more obvious when you take him out to work with you. Whenever you bring him to work lunches or dinners with your friend, it always seems like your man is on guard. To be fair, he really is and is incredibly annoyed with the way Childe acts around you. 
- Tries sending the message to Childe that you’re already taken (literally everyone knows you’re together, but Childe wants to see how much he can push the archon, also he finds you really attractive and wants to see if you’d go for him). This might start with some more touching and clinginess, but he’s relatively passive about showing his dominance at first. 
- If Childe is still stuck to your side, then Zhongli will start being more possessive and rude to the auburn haired man. Definitely does not make it obvious to you though. 
- “Say, sweetheart, you look absolutely stunning today,” Childe remarks as he brings your hand to his lips with his shit eating grin pointed towards your boyfriend. Little comments about how amazing you are start to add up throughout the dinner and Zhongli can’t help but notice the way Childe eyes you up all night. He’ll put his arm around your shoulders protectively as a response. 
- “If you don’t mind, Zhongli, could you step out for a bit. I have some business I’d like to discuss with Y/N” he continues and revels in the way Zhongli’s cool composure slowly breaks apart. 
- Of course he has to comply, he doesn’t want to notify you that something is off. When he comes back and you excuse yourself to go to the bathroom is when Zhongli can finally address it head on. 
- Doesn’t even take that much effort if he’s being honest. Your boyfriend just leans towards Childe and whispers a few select threats to the harbinger. He has this dark look in his amber eyes all the while. Childe definitely gets the message after that. 
- When you come back from the bathroom you’ll notice the more sinister atmosphere and try to lighten it up. Your boyfriend has a much more calm aura now though. 
- Jealous Zhongli is so rare, but when it does happen, he will be too embarrassed to notify you of it. The person who was flirting with you though? Oh they’re going to be pissing themselves after incurring the wrath of the geo archon. While he doesn’t physically harm them, the threats are more than enough to keep them from flirting with you again. 
- He also thinks he’s being sly about hiding his jealousy when in all honestly the truth comes out with his more possessive and domineering attitude that seeps into your sex life. You aren’t complaining though, clingy rock man sexy.    
Tumblr media
Xiao (please come home  👁👄👁) 
- Listen, Xiao has been alive for a really long time. Time is honestly irrelevant to him at this point. Then you come along and change all of that. 
- If you’re nice to him in a way in which you don’t smother him then he will appreciate that so much. Manz won’t say anything though because he needs to pretend to hate everyone. 
- That being said, He will be absolutely head over heels in love with you and far too anxious to ever say something about it. You’re finally a reason for him to enjoy the moment and he doesn’t want to ruin that if you don’t reciprocate his feelings. Always punches himself for being cold to you when he really just wants the two of you to talk longer. 
- Low key follows you around Liyue. You’re going to the harbor to talk to some friends? Well he has business there anyways. He just really likes being around you ok. His excuses are kinda weak though. 
- Fawns over everything you do. Seriously, you can just breathe in his direction and he would be smitten. Would NEVER show it though. 
- If you make him some almond tofu, he is so beyond thankful. He tries to make it, but in his eyes, your cooking is even better than that of master chefs in Liyue. 
-Taking the time out of your day to talk to him is something this adeptus swoons over. If you innocently brush your hands over his when you two are talking on the balcony at the inn, oh boy, he gets so flustered. He is touch starved and that little affection you give genuinely makes his entire day. 
- He gets really upset and possessive whenever you leave Liyue and head to Mondstadt for whatever reason. He doesn’t want to say anything though because he finds you precious and doesn’t want to restrict your freedoms. 
- Xiao is so worried and paces around the balcony of the Wagshu Inn whenever you’re gone. If you leave Liyue he won’t follow, he has his duties here, but he wishes he could go with you. You always tend to make it back pretty fast though. You don’t want to worry him, and truth be told, you’ve fallen hard for the adeptus. 
- This one time, he sensed your presence back in Liyue after a month-long quest he decided to come and greet you as a surprise. When he came down to the ground floor of the inn though, he saw you with a blue haired man. He seemed very close to you and was making you smile and laugh with a hand inching towards your hips
- Normally, when he sees your beaming grin his heart would melt, but seeing this cheeky bastard try to lay a hand on the person that held his heart. Yes, you were his, he decided in that moment, as he went towards you to break your conversation apart.
- He’s also terrified that this new man could be your new boyfriend, but he doesn’t want to entertain the thought, as it sends pangs of such sorrow through him.
- Finally makes up his mind to march over to you when he sees the man tuck a strand of your hair behind your ear and hears compliments flowing out of his mouth about how beautiful and amazing you are. Definitely won’t let this insignificant knight steal what belongs to him.
- When you see him come over, you’re pleasantly surprised. He doesn’t often come around mortals, preferring his isolation at the top of the inn. What really surprises you though is the way he comes right between you and Kaeya with a strange glint in his eyes
- He normally won’t even touch you, but he’s quick to assert his possessive aura and cautiously wrap his arm around your waist, not quite connecting you two though, wanting your permission. Which you give as you lean towards him. 
- You won’t see but he’s going to be giving the most deathly glares at Kaeya. Kaeya will actually die a little inside, your man is a terrifying slayer of demons ok cut him some slack. 
- “Hey Kaeya, this is Xiao. Xiao, this is my friend, Kaeya. He’s heading back to Mondstadt after helping me with this quest!” you announce as you and Kaeya share knowing looks. You definitely didn’t talk about your love for the adeptus for hours on end during your quest. 
- After your goodbyes with your friend, Xiao looks at you and asks what Kaeya is to you. Which you respond to before he leans closer into you and nuzzles his face into your neck as he tells you how he felt about the two of you speaking and how he felt like he lost you. 
- Feels a little stupid for getting scared someone could take you away from him. 
- His confession paired with his warm actions just truly melt your heart as you also confess your own love to him. Moments where he’s affectionate are rare, but after ordeals like this they’ll be more common.  
- Overall jealous Xiao is only semi-rare, very touchy, and absolutely terrifying. Only to the other person though, he’s always soft to you. He’s secure in knowing that you love him as much as he adores you. Definitely shows you that after he takes care of the person imposing on what is his. (wink wonk) 
Tumblr media
Childe  (Tar-tar-taglia) 
- Childe is just not a serious person. Your whole “relationship” is built around that carefree nature of his. 
- When I say “relationship”, Childe is too immature to actually put a label on what you two are. You two meet up, have some good times, then go your separate ways, before he reaches out to you and the cycle starts again.
- I mean, you guys have a lot of fun together. His nonchalance and ease in lightening the mood allow for incredible days (and nights). Which is why it doesn’t really surprise you when you find yourself falling for him. 
- He has this certain charm even when he’s doing even the most mundane things. In the mornings, when he wakes up first, he’ll be up preparing breakfast or getting dressed, you can’t help but stare at him. He’s so attractive, and he knows it too with his cheeky grins and teasing attitude. 
- He’s really touchy with you. Likes pulling you onto his lap during work or coming up behind you and pushing his hips towards you when you’re doing something. 
- He always has a hand on you whenever you’re together. He’s either holding your hand, tugging you close to him, or just straight out teasing you. 
- He really likes kissing you. Not even in a sexual context, he just likes being next to you and showering your face in kisses. Teasing kisses around your neck and jaw though, he lives for your expressions when he does that. 
- He often jokes that you’d be a fool to fall in love with him, which you hesitantly laugh at. Don’t worry, he says this as a distraction from the fact that he’s also fallen for your patient mannerisms and the way you’re able to put up with him. 
- He calls you babe or doll a lot. In his heart, he knows it’s for real couples, but he doesn’t want to make it weird between you two by asking you out. He really likes your late night rendezvous and your aura that somehow matches his perfectly. 
- He doesn’t get upset when people flirt with you. Yes, he really likes you, but he also knows that he didn’t put a label on the two of you. Plus, you’re hot, of course people are going to flirt with you. He might even join in and help make you flustered.
- If you’re actually uncomfortable by the person flirting with you, then Childe is quick to chase (kill) them off. Hey, he may be an evil harbinger, but he’s noble enough to sense your discomfort.
- He doesn’t really care about people flirting with or getting too touchy with you, again, he knows he has no right to be upset with that. Is kind of upset when he sees people eyeing you up, but he doesn’t say anything to you.
- He does take quick notice when you get more distance from him. He knows the two of you are, unconventional, to say the least, but he wants to keep you close to him, emotionally at least. 
- You’ll probably be aware of your love for the Snezhnayan which is why you’re pulling away. You know that being with him in the way you want probably won’t happen, with how much responsibility he has and just the nature of your relationship. 
- This prompts you to hang around the docks of Liyue more and talk with people from far away. It’s where you meet Beidou (happy late birthday, queen) and her crew. 
- What used to be lunches where Childe would pop in to, turned into afternoons spent learning about Beidou and her time across the seas. 
- He’s actually pretty angry with the less and less frequent meetings between you two. You’d never know though, because he doesn’t say anything about it and always brushes off any concerns on your part. 
- You will get an idea of this anger when he becomes a little more ~aggressive~ during your more scandalous times together. He’s also still playful, but in a slightly more condescending way. 
- What really sets him off is the way you no longer come to all of your dates together, and when he asks, you’ll simply shrug it off and say you were with a friend 
- He doesn’t really get why he feels this way. He understands that he’s attracted to you and wants to pursue a more stable romantic relationship, but he’s never really felt jealous or possessive before. He’s willing to do what he can to make that horrid nagging feeling go away. 
- Makes it his mission to find out who this “friend” was. When he sees you at the harbor with a red and black claymore user, he’s even more annoyed. She’s absolutely gorgeous and captures all of your attention. He can hear her telling you all about the people she’s met and that you’re one of her favorites as she leans closer and closer. 
- Alright, that’s enough for him, he decides and walks towards the two of you. You smile at him and wave when you notice his presence
- Beidou isn’t too pleased though, not happy with the way he interrupted you two. That is, until she sees the murderous glint and seriousness in Tartaglia’s eyes. She decided to dip and you’re a little shocked by his serious disposition.
- Childe is never serious unless the situation gravely calls for that attitude, which you would have never thought you’d be a part of. Honestly with the way he looks, you’re surprised that he didn’t kill her right then and there. 
- Grabs you by the arm and tugs you towards a quiet area, before pinning you against the wall. He’ll whisper in your ear about how he’s unhappy with your current situation and if you have a solution. 
- Yeah, the marks all over you are definitely a label for you two now. He’s pretty carefree until he gets pushed into showing you that he can be serious too.
-  It’s safe to say that Childe is less loose when it comes to you and threats to your relationship. He’ll be fairly playful when irrelevant people come around trying to flirt with you, but when there’s someone he deems an actual threat, well, man gets into harbinger mode. The lack of being able to walk straight the next day will also be a good reminder to you about his love. 
Tumblr media
Scaramouche  (I love this less emo version of Feitan so much omggg)  
- He’s so pissed off and annoyed at everyone. Seriously, how did he even pull you with that attitude (it’s cause he’s fucking adorable that’s why). 
- Anyways, you two have been together for a while, but he doesn’t really want other people to know.
- It’s not that he’s embarrassed of you. He genuinely loves you so much. It’s for that reason, that he wants to protect you. He has a lot of enemies and thinks this is the best way to protect you.  
- He’s not at all standoffish and angry when you aren’t in public though. He basically WORSHIPS the ground you walk on. So soft for you and also very overprotective.  
- If you play with his hair and let him know how much you adore him then he’s just going to fall more and more in love with you. 
- PLEASE IF YOU PUT HIS HAT ON HE’S CONFLICTED ABOUT EITHER TO SNATCH IT OFF YOUR HEAD OR JUST ADMIRE HOW JOYFUL YOU LOOK. 
- He sucks at affection. I’m sorry, it’s just not something he really does, but the occasional head pat and neck kiss brings a smile onto your face so he tries to do it more often. He’s really stiff with hugs and is pretty worried about embarrassing himself when showing you that he loves you.
- He also doesn’t really say that he loves you. He is terrible at expressing himself and sort of just expects you to know that he loves you. Not really a problem though because you’re well aware that you’d be dead if he didn’t love you as much as he does. Also he shows his love through small gifts and softer actions that he would never show anyone else. 
- He will sometimes regret not making it publicly known that you are his though. 
- You either work for or are in association with Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Which means that you spend a lot of time with Zhongli. 
- Now,  Scaramouche is actually pretty insecure. He knows he’s a blunt and cruel person. He’s used to getting things by force and just doesn’t view himself as a person with many redeeming qualities. Terrified that he’ll lose you (sometimes entertains the idea of keeping you in a cage but this isn’t a yandere HC oop). 
- So when he sees you with others, he gets pretty upset and doubts himself a lot. He also pretends he isn’t jealous but you can see right through him and try to reassure him with soft affection. He loves you so much omg, doesn’t really curb his possessive nature though. 
- Fairly manipulative with people who get close to you. If he sees some random person in Liyue flirting with you, well he’s not that upset and getting rid of them is pretty easy. Knows he’s better than commoners like that. Plus the influence of the Fatui runs far and he can make anyone that pisses him off feel his wrath. Low key might actually get rid of them if he’s in the mood. 
- Can’t pull those tricks with a literal God though. When you first told him that you were working with Zhongli, pure rage, which faded into a burning jealous feeling whenever he heard your colleague's name. Definitely tries to break that bond apart. 
- Starts with mentioning how it’s just unnecessary for you to work with how wealthy he is as a harbinger. Next, it’s accompanying you to work with more and more walks in the public eye, in order to get some whispers around. Before he finally begins leaving darker marks on your skin (consensually of course). 
- Zhongli is kinda dense though. He just does not notice the little signs by the harbinger to assert that you belong to him already. He gets tunnel vision with how charismatic and charming you are. 
- Scaramouche low key tails you at work?? Like he watches you when Zhongli is out taking you places for business reasons. He trusts your love, but is a little shaken with how insistent Zhongli is. 
- Really dislikes when Zhongli takes you out for meals though. He loathes that he can’t do that with you, and it’s his fault because he wanted to keep your relationship private. 
- Brings him so much happiness if he sees you pull away from Zhongli’s grasp and keep the atmosphere professional. Zhongli is a respectful man so he’ll keep physical touches to a minimum but he still uses his words and never fails to compliment you or even ask you out on a real date (which you always decline, since you’re a loyal S/O). This puts Scaramouche off, as he knows he doesn’t really tell you how attractive you are as much as you deserve. 
- Ramps up his efforts to show the archon who you belong to by actually dropping in to your work. I swear you actually have a heart attack when he just appears and actually acknowledges you, an action that he established at the beginning of your relationship as something he wouldn’t do. 
- He makes sure to come in when he knows Zhongli is also there. What honestly really takes you by surprise is when he pulls you to him and begins a passionate makeout session in the middle of your workspace. There’s no one really there, just you and the tall amber eyed man, who’s currently in the backroom preparing various things. 
- Scaramouche is fairly clingy and is more inclined to show people that the two of you are together. Zhongli definitely gets the message when he sees your boyfriend locking his lips with yours. Scaramouche will probably pull away and if looks could kill, then the archon would definitely drop dead in the most painful manner. 
- Honestly, without even dropping a beat, your boyfriend will pull you even closer and begin to leave dark hickies along your neck, jaw, and pull your top to the side slightly to leave passionate marks on your shoulders as well. Yeah, Zhongli is pretty uncomfortable with the energy created in the studio today and leaves. 
- Jealous Scaramouche is pretty manipulative, but it also opens up the gate that allows him to express himself more. It’s not too healthy? but it’s really hot when he pins you against surfaces to mark you to show the world that you are his as much as he belongs to you. 
a/n Hope you enjoyed it! Feel free to leave feedback. Anyways, if anyone wants to add us as friends on Genshin, just DM us and we’d be happy to share our UIDs. 
Jesus how does this have 6000 likes lmfao. Request a part 2 and I’d be down to do it

Venti, Xingqiu, and Razor: Kissing HCs

It is always okay^^ I will never say no to anything. I was scrolling through my inbox and I saw this and said fuck it, I wanna write this. I’m writing this. Razor isn’t a predicted tag and I’m so upset Xingqiu doesn’t get enough love. Also venti?? You want me to speed write something? Ask for Venti.

Venti, Xingqiu, and Razor: Kissing HCs
Tumblr media
Venti
This Archon is such a playful tease. He’s fully aware of what he’s doing and isn’t stopping anytime soon. He’s always surprising you by giving you quick kisses to embarrass you in public. Or he’s suddenly dropping from the winds, giving you a quick cheek kiss, before he’s linking your hands together and dragging you off somewhere. He get’s a bit lonely and bored so please try and coddle him a bit because he’s wants some of your love and affection.
He has a lot of fun using his anemo powers to hoist himself above you and giving you an upside down kiss. No one else can do that which means his kisses are the most special. Perhaps it’s the blood that’s rushing to his head but he inwardly coos when he see’s you flush pink all the way up to your ears before you cover them with your hands, telling him to get down or else he might hurt himself. He’s giggling at your cute reaction but he’ll find any reason for a kiss. He even “borrowed” all of Mondstadt’s mistletoes as an excuse to sneak a few more in.
He really likes kissing the shell of your ear, right where he knows they flush the reddest. Leaning over as he blows on your ear to hear you shriek as he laughs at your reaction, before he’s smothering you in apologetic kisses. As much as you love Venti, it’s a bit embarrassing for him to do this in public where others can see so you quickly rush to cover his mouth when he dives for another.
The tips of his braids are actually really sensitive since his anemo powers filter through them, so if he ever get’s a bit too bold, you simply have to either kiss the tips of his hair to get him to shutter and break character. The one time you got drunk with Venti, you grabbed and yanked his face forward by his braids and kissed him deeply until he ended up stumbling and falling backwards. His braids were lit up like Christmas lights and his face was so red you weren’t completely sure if that was from him being drunk or embarrassed.
If he suspects someone is trying to flirt with you or is getting too close. His normal childlike and cheerful eyes seem to sharpen as he hmms to himself at the scene. He’ll claps his lyre away and strolls his way to you, sneaking behind you before wrapping his arms around your neck as he nuzzles into your cheek. While you’re stumbling at the sudden weight he tilts your face towards his with his hand and give you a soft kiss. He’s grinning smugly as he watches your face flare up as he links your hands together. Sticking his tongue out behind his shoulder as he drags you off. Be careful, he’s shameless.
Tumblr media
Xingqiu
A gentleman first and foremost. He’s polite in his interactions with others and that extends to his relationship with you. That’s not to say he doesn’t like causing some mischief. When you both meet up to spend time together or go on dates, he prefers to kiss your hand first before leaning forward to cup your cheek. He may be polite but he has no self preservation and finds a lot of joy in watching you get shy. He takes a second to marvel at how your eyes dart from his golden amber eyes, to his lips, then back to his eyes. He chuckles a bit under his breath at your cute nature before asking if it’s alright for him to kiss you properly. You keep telling him that he doesn’t need to ask all the time but he wants to be sure.
He absolutely adores when you get embarrassed and try to hid behind your hands. While you’re screaming on the inside on how pretty Xingqiu is, he’s smiling gently with eyes full of affection as he crosses his hands behind his back and leans forward to press kisses in between your fingers. Gently trying to pull your hands away as he gives you one last peck on the nose before taking your hand and leading you off to your next destination.
He really likes kissing the tip of your nose. You always resemble a bunny when you scrunch your nose and try and bat him away. He finds a lot of amusement when he suddenly pulls you into a alleyway, pulls you forward and holds you against his chest, watches you slowly get more and more red, only to give you a small peck on the nose and walk back onto the streets as if he didn’t do anything.  
The kisses that get him a bit shy are the most casual ones. Perhaps it’s because he’s used to making grand gestures since that’s his nature in chivalry. But when you happen to see him in Liyue, run up and give him a quick kiss, only to go back to whatever business you had. It’s so casual and unexpected that Xingqiu has to take a second and calm his heartbeat down.
You’re always shy when Xingqiu brings you to the book store in Liyue. You and the lady that works there try your hardest to not make eye contact because Xingqiu loves bringing you behind the book shelves and giving you kisses while holding a book in front of your faces. You’re fairly certain that Xingqiu is reading too many romance novels and is acting out a scene but you don’t have the heart to stop him because it’s actually really cute.
Tumblr media
Razor
The first time the idea of kissing was introduced to Razor, he didn’t understand what the big deal was until he had his first kiss with you. He always assumed it was just pressing your lips together and that was it. But being able to hold your hand, which was inherently the same idea, made his inner puppy bounce around. Then when you hurriedly rushed to kiss him before running off to save face, he had to take a second to realize what just happened, before he basically chased after you to get another. Now this man pretty much walks up to you, spins you around, plants a soft kiss on you, and walks off. Bennett is shooting you a thumbs up while you’re internally screaming on the inside.
Razor will not be shy. Hand holding or having a normal conversation? Feel’s like he’s being threatened by that scary purple lady who likes to read a lot. But when it comes to kisses? He’s used to play fighting and getting nips from his lupical so to him, this isn’t much different. When he’s pushing you down, staring down at you with dilated eyes as he leans in for a kiss, sometimes its way too much for your poor heart you have to quickly turn your face away and scrunch your eyes closed. It get’s Razor really pouty and his head seems to droop a bit but you offer him a small kiss to try and appease him.
This man is more of a biter. He has a bad habit of nibbling due to how his lupical show affection. He prefers tucking his face into your neck so be careful of getting marks. They don’t hurt at all but it does get a bit ticklish and you have to attempt to bat him away or you might end up hurting yourself accidently. It’s embarrassing to explain and Fischl has a lot of smug fun pointing them out to you. Razor likes being held, spoon him and kiss his forehead and he’s a puddle of love. He may not be an actual wolf but you can almost see an imaginary tail wagging. It’s even better when his lupical are with him and they all snuggle up to you. It makes you squeal a little on the inside because not only does Razor trust you to be beside his lupical, but they seem to like you enough to snuggle against you. It’s a big ball of fluff you’ve found yourself in. 
He really likes picking you up and holding you in his arms, there’s some kind of protective rush he feels having you in his arms. Seeing your feet dangle above the ground, your hands on his shoulder as you look down at him, makes him feel like he’s holding the world. He can’t explain it but it makes him feel proud of himself. He just wants to bask in the feeling and presses his face into your stomach, he can feel you lay your head over his and the gentle kisses you press into his hair, it makes him feel loved.

Clancy is a vessel theory
With the update of dmaorg.info and the release of the outside mv, I’ve seen a new theory going around that Clancy is not a person, but rather the name of a vessel that the bishops are using to spread vialism. This makes a lot of sense to me actually, and as far as my casual lore knowledge goes it clears up some stuff! Iirc, in an interview, Tyler stated that Clancy is his way of giving fans a look into the world of Trench and DEMA. We’ve never known much about (the old) Clancy, besides that he resided in DEMA with Keons as his bishop. If Clancy is simply the name of a vessel that the bishops exploit, it would first off, help tie the incorporation of Vessel music, lyrics, references, etc into the music video and Vøldsoy. It would also explain why on dmaorg.info Clancy details his first-hand account of events that we have seen Tyler doing/performing (the Livestream show, the outside, and Saturday mvs) while previously we had received secondhand accounts of Clancy watching Tyler from a cave, possibly the one seen in the video, during the jumpsuit mv. When I read the letters detailing the show and the events of the mvs I was confused as to how Clancy would have recorded these things if Tyler was the one doing them, and why Tyler chose to show himself in the events detailed by Clancy's letters when as far as I was aware the two were separate people. But if Clancy is not one person and is instead a vessel, Tyler becoming Clancy makes his appearing in both the Livestream and the MV(s) much more logical and sensical. And while Tyler’s role in the MV(s) and Livestream is the most concrete evidence I have, there are also a couple little things I want to bring up. One thing that Tyler started doing during the SAI era is covering/obscuring his face. This seems like an odd detail to bring up, but we've seen one other person who covered their face in lore, the unidentified child from one of the images on dmainfo.org. 
Tumblr media
[ID= a grayscale image of a child, presumably a young boy. the child has a hand over their face. /end ID] This image's filename is "se__elf" which I assume means that it is a picture of the old Clancy as a child. Tyler only began covering his face in scaled and icy era appearances, and if 'clancy is dead' and Tyler is now the new Clancy, the new vessel that the bishops have chosen to exploit, this would explain the covering of his face. The recent updates to dmaorg.info detail how Clancy was forced to create the Good Day DEMA show, his constant surveillance by the bishops, and how in his words "...they wouldn't let me write anything down. Well, at least not without them present" Surely, if Clancy is now Tyler we would have some evidence or hint at their watching of Tyler, their constant surveillance hinted somehow. And sure enough, there is. This evidence is none other than Trash the dragon. Trash is the dragon that appeared on the cover of SAI and is featured on nearly every single promotional image or merch since then. Tyler has stated in an interview that "trash dragon" is slang for vultures in DEMA. Vultures, symbolically, are practically joined at the hip to the bishops and vialism. During his Christmas Livestream, a tiny trash could be seen on his desk, as if watching what he did during the stream. This very well could be Tyler trying to show the ever-watching eyes of the bishops, their constant surveillance of Tyler. Is this true? I have absolutely zero clue. But if it is it's a fascinating turn in the events of the story and one that I really hope we get to delve into more soon!
