THE RELATIONSHIP

pairing: college!abby anderson x fem!preppy!reader

description: just some hcs about abby’s relationship with preppy!reader

warnings: cursing, probably a lot of grammar/spelling mistakes (i was really high when i wrote this), swearing, mentions of drinking and drug use

date posted: 29/03/23

series masterlist

y/n is much girlier than abby is, so they go through a weird transition period where they’re getting used to each other’s quirks and routines

at first, she felt quite underdressed when they would hang out; she normally wore her usual athleisure or something casual while y/n would turn up in short skirts and pretty little blouses

as time passed, abby learned to love the way that her girlfriend put in so much effort on a daily basis, and appreciated the way that her little skirts bounced behind her as she walked

y/n had also not been used to dating someone who is so physically active–she was alarmed when she would wake up at six am to abby getting up to go to the gym

abby would be happy for her to join her, though she would probably make an extra trip to the gym that day so that she could focus more on her own training rather than helping y/n

they spend a lot of time at abby’s apartment

abby’s dad is a celebrated surgeon so she can definitely afford a decent place without needing a roommate, so there’s much more privacy

she learned very early on that y/n’s dormmate was very nosy and annoying–she suspected that she may have been harbouring a crush on y/n, and much preferred to be as far from her as possible

she definitely likes to study together, even if they’re in completely different courses

there’s something very calming about spending time together while also being productive

quality time is definitely one of her love languages

abby’s not crazy into pda

she likes to be near y/n

doesn’t mind mild displays of affection like holding hands or brief kisses, but would much rather have privacy when she wants to cuddle or makeout–that way, she doesn’t have to control herself

she will splurge from time to time

she can’t head onto the field without getting a good-luck kiss, and when they go to parties together, she likes to get a little bit handsy-er for the sake of marking her territory

kisses :))

my girl is an all-or-nothing kind of kisser

she will give little pecks when she wants to tease, but for the most part she much prefers long, deep smooches

if they’re in public, she’ll keep the tongue to a minimum, but won’t hesitate to invade y/n’s mouth when they’re in private

she’s a forehead kisser, for sure

when y/n leans into her chest it's instinctual for her to press a kiss to her head, whether they’re in a group setting or not

loves loves LOVES receiving cheek kisses

when she walks her girl to class, picks her up anywhere, does something to help her out, or even when they’re just chilling, she’s constantly turning her head in hopes of getting a lil smooch

when they’re alone, abby is a hands-on kinda gal

she’s constantly pulling y/n against her chest, pressing kisses along her neck and jaw, and sliding her fingers dangerously beneath the hem of her clothing

sometimes she straight up manhandles her girlfriend

y/n sometimes tries to pretend that she was bothered by it, but she honestly loves being mauled by her big strong bear of a girlfriend (this is why y/n calls her bear)

loves to hold her in big bear hugs from behind

when y/n spends the night, abby is sure to cling to y/n like a koala once they go to bed. abby is a resident big spoon (though she certainly doesn’t mind being the small spoon from time to time)

she’s like a human furnace, so both of them need to wear as little as possible, not that she’s complaining–y/n had turned to wearing some of her bigger shirts and panties to bed at night, allowing her girlfriend an exceptional amount of skin-to-skin contact

y/n may as well forget her own name, because now she’s baby, babe, or pretty

in turn, abby almost exclusively goes by abs, honey, or bear

attending abby’s games and practices becomes a regular thing in y/n’s life

she always wears abby’s practice jersey to games and cheers louder than anyone else in the stands

she’s constantly blowing kisses and drawing hearts in the air every time that she scores or runs past

abby’s teammates tease her for being a simp

she really makes an effort to form a relationship with her friends. she doesn’t want to be the kind of girlfriend who constantly brings y/n to hang out with her friend group and inadvertently cuts her off from her own

she often encourages her to invite them to team events or to come over to her place for games or movies

y/n is constantly praising her for being such a good, attentive girlfriend

abby doesn’t think she’s doing too much beyond expectations, but always welcomes the reward that she receives

she likes to watch shows together. the kind of person to be upset if y/n were to watch ahead and wouldn’t dare do it herself

she likes when they pick long-running shows, ones that have at least six-seven seasons to keep it going as long as possible

as much as abby loves to take care of y/n, she also wants to be taken care of from time to time

when her muscles are sore after the gym, she’ll usually ask for a nice massage. she loves just laying flat on her stomach on her bed while y/n works her magic on the taut muscles of her back

she also likes when y/n helps her shampoo her hair in the shower, groaning at the feeling of her fingernails scratching her scalp

and she always feels so incredibly close to someone when she can just vent to them about all of her problems

she likes sharing music as well. from time to time, y/n will be in class and just get a random text from abby with a spotify link

baaaaabbbeeeee i think you’re really gonna like this one

fights are rare, but when they do happen, they’re usually over something quite serious

abby thinks that communication is super important, so she’s not gonna let her pride get in the way of talking over a little disagreement

but when it comes to bigger issues, like maybe one of them got super jealous and acted out in some way, things will get heated very fast

she might suggest that they take some time apart to cool off–while she wants to talk things over, the last thing she wants to do is say something hurtful in a fit of rage

she’ll always go to the gym after a big fight

working out always helps her blow off steam, and she can also think things over more clearly while she’s doing it

she’ll text y/n after she leaves to meet her somewhere to talk

she’ll listen silently as y/n says her piece

she doesn’t interrupt or disvalue her opinions, so she expects the same treatment

during breaks from school, they facetime 24/7

they both actually end up meeting each other’s parents via facetime over the holiday break

when abby graduates, she looks for a job in the same area as the school so that she doesn’t have to move too far away

they move in together at the start of y/n’s senior year

she definitely had an after graduation plan, but made slight alterations to include y/n

aside from looking for a job close to the school, she would also ask her about what kind of plans she had for herself and take those into consideration

she would be silently sitting there on her laptop, y/n assuming that she’s working on something for school or her job, and would just turning the computer to show her the detailed plan that she’d been typing up

she would have found a place that worked for both of their career plans, i’m picturing an urban area just outside of a large city

probably proposes a few years after college

she waits until both of them have started their careers and are settled enough to think about the next step in life

they wait a while before actually getting married–probably like twoish years

Please please share ur kenlao headcanons n stuff🙏🙏🙏🙏

AHAHA OH BOY! I didn’t expect my KenLao shit to hit it off so well- but yeah totally. I haven’t had a ton of time to give them much more thought than the surface level stuff. A lot of it relates to the way I personally view the characters so I hope it’s good.

Pre relationship summary:

They both kind of make the first move with each other, the current dynamic (and fic) I’m working on right now has it where gang reunites every so often as a whole group. Kung Lao and Kenshi end up hitting it off at one, and gradually over time while they mature and grow more comfortable with themselves and each other they talk more outside of these meetings.

Kenshi and Lao I think are both confident in a manner that manifests in being very forward with other people- which for them ends well. Kung Lao likes to flirt, and Kenshi isn’t against it, it doesn’t bother him. He warms up to Lao and they end up really enjoying each others presence.

For Head-canons, Particularly Kenshi, because of how I characterize him:

- Kenshi eventually (idk how to word this well) accepts his blindness- and doesn’t often use Sento to see. Partially because I hc it would be pretty jarring to have that weird mindfuck of the souls of your ancestors which live in your sword directly beam visions into your brain- and also because he straight up just can’t have a sword out all the time.

- just adding this: he uses sento while fighting. Of course, so most likely he uses the sight it grants him almost exclusively in combat.

- I haven’t gone super in depth into more head-canons on what sort of aids he would use, because I need to do more research, but I think he uses a cane when walking around, and maybe later he has a service dog.

I want to point out that I’ve seen a lot of people brush off his blindness in favor of just pretending he can see like normal because of sento… which really fails to see the full potential and worth of his blindness in his character arc. I don’t know much about blindness and I am going to do research to be able to characterize and write him correctly!

Anyway moving on since I just talked about Kenshi so much (I love him) here’s some basic hcs for them:

- they alternate who is the big spoon/little spoon often.

- Kung Lao (later in life, when their relationship starts) has tattoos! He also grows his hair out, and gets a few more (bridge piercing cameo) piercings.

- Kenshi obviously has a beard

- Kung Lao can’t grow an epic beard and instead just fawns over Kenshi’s. Kenshi is mildly annoyed by it (he loves it.)

- once they’ve built trust Kung Lao trims and tidies Kenshi’s beard.

- Kenshi likes to tie up Kung Lao’s hair

- Kung Lao picks outfits for Kenshi sometimes, once Kenshi has drilled the importance of cleaning up and looking good into him enough.

- Kenshi steals Kung Lao’s clothes. A lot.

- over time their relationship develops from casual to serious, Kung Lao is the first to realize it. It grows to the point where Kenshi can’t imagine spending his time with anyone else, or trusting anyone else with that side of himself.

- Kung Lao yearns for an active and dramatic life at first, and Kenshi knows how painful it can be, so it worries him.

- over time Kenshi mellows out Kung Lao, and Kung Lao introduces Kenshi to positive excitement.

- ^ Kenshi dislikes large gatherings (such as concerts) and amusement parks.

- Kung Lao loves training with Kenshi, due to the unique techniques Kenshi’s fighting style provides. Kenshi also helps Kung Lao with coaching Shujinko after the first time he biffed it, which was pre relationship.

- takeda comes into the picture also, but I am not sure how I want to fit him into their familial dynamic yet….

#headcanons #KenLao #I’m sorry I have so many thoughts for them #I have more btw #mk #ask #thanks for asking!

pls talk to me about sam/riley!! canon, au, idc! give me all u got 😤😤

FUCK YEAAAAAAAAA OMG literally one of my favorite ships in the entire mcu and they barely exist 😭😭😭

ok so in terms of like canon stuff i feel like riley and sam had the closest thing u could to a meet cute in the literal army and i see their relationship as like very similar to daveklaus??? i think it definitely like in precatws i see them as meeting on base, maybe even not knowing each other before they got assigned to the project and got their wings etc

there’s a lot of potential for a slow burn there even as just a platonic relationship and tbh given the popularity of media like 1917, dunkirk, top gun, and that rn (which….. the modern stuff is more HMMMM but i mean the interest is there???) n marvels propaganda deal with the us military i don’t know WHY they HAVENT greenlit some sort of d+ mini series giving us a samriley prequel ??? at least a short 😭 but idk maybe they’ll actually give us some sams past crumbs in cap 4?????

in aus though i like to hc riley and sam as having the same hometown, i love the idea of riley being a quintessential southern boy with the drawl and the slang, i also heavily borrow from just say you do’s version of riley in which he has a dry sense of humor and takes no shit just like sam!! i picture him as “sassy” and over the top in the same way as like JVN lol

also i think he and sam have the best fashion sense out of anyone in the group except maybe nat when she’s not dressing super comfy casual (we all know steve and bucky are dead last on that one LMAOOO) bc riley comes from a working class family/started working himself at a really young age and so now he likes to be super deliberate about his sense of style/presentation instead of just whatever he got handed down from neighbors or church donations etc and that was a HUGE part of accepting his sexuality + gender identity (he/they riley u will always be famous)

i also borrow some elements of like adam parrish’s backstory 🤡 in that i see riley’s parents as negligent at best and ab*sive at worst, making the wilsons his sort of pseudo-family/safe space even before he and sam get together whether that’s bc they’re childhood besties in aus or bc they accept sam’s closest comrade into their fold (i cant remember if sam lost his parents before he went into the service so don’t come for me anyone) but yeah like in non canon universes i see their story as highly similar to stevebuckys bc they’re foils duh except ig riley would be closer to comics bucky than mcu bucky w his parents

it’s weird bc i used to exclusively ship stevebucky and then samriley completely separate. since i became open to the idea of multi shipping, i now ship in a different order/way??

like for au’s i still follow the two distinctive ships, meaning if i’m writing stevebucky i’ll usually have established samriley or single sam. however if i’m writing sambucky it’s probably going to be past!samsteve and/or stevebucky as well if not just samstevebucky (the most superior of all ships) 😌 like i might mention riley being sam’s ex before he got together with steve (if i’m including him and steve as a couple and not just friends) or just gets w bucky but the focus is way less on riley’s impact on sam’s dating history than like steve if that makes sense which is just interesting to me?? it’s also a roulette wheel of whether or not i decide to throw in sammisty (my beloved) bc sometimes i like to write bi sam and other times i like to write gay sam

sidenote i see peggy and steve and nat absolutely bi, always, angie as 100% a lesbian, misty and sam as bi4bi, but for sam and bucky i could see them as either bi or gay (although i typically tend to write bucky as either just gay or at most bi-curious but always in relationships with mlm)

i feel like i write more samriley in complete au’s than in canon compliant fics which is odd haha

maybe bc in canon compliant fics, if samriley exists i see them as a monogamous partnership, but if sam is with someone else/poly i typically see it like riley d*ed bc personally i just don’t see them breaking up?? they’re like either that couple u know that’s been together since they were 14 and you never see them without each other OR they’re exactly the same but they actually got married in their early 20s. i say, having explicitly written their divorce before

also idk why but i feel like in my head w poly!sam steve and/or bucky (or misty) are cool w him having paramours and metamours and everything even if they aren’t poly themselves but riley is strictly a one man guy and has no interest in anything outside a monogamous mlm relationship. he’s also demi and a hopeless romantic!

when i write samriley + steve and bucky i see riley as being able to relate to bucky better bc i follow the general fandom hc that riley is also disabled, but he’s somewhat closer w steve bc of sam and bucky’s initial “feud” when riley was still distrustful of bucky and 100% in sam’s corner, meaning he and bucky have a similar dynamic to sam and bucky where they like to banter and antagonize one another but he and steve are more chill and friendly when they talk like he and sam are (although they aren’t above ribbing at each other and referencing embarrassing inside jokes)

hngngngngnh h OH also he and sarah are like best friends bc they LOVE to gang up on sam and 100% would die for sam but like given the choice they would unionize to embarrass him at the drop of a hat

#IF I THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE ILL LYK #i speak #steeb #bucket #stevebucky #marvel #sammich #captain america #mcu #samriley #sam wilson #sammisty #pegs #nat <3 #angie <3 #sarah wilson #asks

1, 5 and 17! 🤩

ohhhh ty!!!!

1. when and how did you get into hermitcraft?

as I mentioned briefly in one of the other asks, in April (I think) of last year, I was casually scrolling through my feed and found beef propaganda from cassberry (who I will not tag again)! I knew beef vaguely from other minecraft things and wanted a new SpIn, so after chatting with cass for a bit, I decided to give it a go! and loved it pretty much instantly. I'd been seeing dsmp stuff on my dash for ages and though it seemed kind of interesting, it was also way too angsty for me, so hermitcraft was perfect really cause it's just so chill and friendly.

5. favourite duo, trio or group?

oh, you know it has to be team ZIT(S). nothing makes me happier than seeing those boys hanging out and being friends; every time I see them appear in each other's videos, I get all flappy. though I will say - I know they're not exclusively hc but they are adjacent - team canada holds such a special place in my heart. you would not believe how excited I got when I saw that first starblight desert episode come out. oh! and soup group. can't forget soup group. and boatem. okay look there's lots of very good groups djgdjk.

17. have any episodes you constantly go back to? which ones?

zed's season 7, especially the first episode! I've restarted that season like 3 or 4 times now, though I still haven't finished it. it's just so chill and fun and I love zed's brand of humor so much. I've also actually frequently rewatched gems first episode for season 9. she did such a great job with it, plus the friendship between her and impulse was part of what made me love hermitcraft so much.

also here are some cheaty answers, because they're either not a video or not totally hermitcraft.

I have rewatched naked and scared season 23, episode 5 like. several times. that bit with the endermen and the yelling and the 'THERE IS NO TOMORROW, THERE IS ONLY RIGHT NOW' and 'dippledop! you are the liability this season!' is just so funny to me. that whole season is impeccable

I will also say, the decked out 1 testing streams with zed and tango are absolutely on loop for me. and I could spend like an entire day just watching JITS phasmo streams (which is partially to do with how much I love phasmo, but yk jdgdk)

#don't mind my shift in formatting fgdk #tysm though!!!! I wasn’t expecting to get any asks outside of my known mutuals so I really appreciate it #mcyt #hermitcraft #rhys' shit #I have to go paint some walls now #oh actually you're who I reblogged it from! I should have sent you an ask when I did so lemme know if it didn’t go through and I'll #send it again #cause I see you haven't answered it

Bakugou, Shinsou, Todoroki, Dabi and Shigaraki checking out their s/o

Request: Pretty pls hcs for Shinsou, Shoto, Dabi, Shigaraki, and Bakugou getting caught checking out their s/o? thank you! - anonymous

Pretty boys you’ve got there sweet anon. Pretty boys with a capital P. Love yaa. 💖💖💖

rules

warning: some suggestive thoughts, swearing

Bakugou Katsuki

-Bakugou doesn’t like showing his feelings.

-Like to no one.

-Not even to you sometimes.

-So when you started to officially date you understood why he would want to keep our relationship a secret.

-He was good at keep it that way.

-Like really good.

-You got no extra attention or special treatment, he never lost his poker face around you and would never NEVER stare at you.

-So you never really checked on him to see if his eyes wondered to ...places.

-Today your skirt had ridden up your thighs while you were bouncing around the room along side Mina.

-Your favorite band was coming near you guys since they were on tour and you both were ecstatic.

-The skin of your thighs looked so soft and plum who wouldn’t stare?

-You did mind when people stared at you but now dealing with your excitement was a priority.

-Your boyfriend had gotten excited by something else though.

-His eyes were glued to your thighs, his red orbs following your every movement.

-Kaminari and Kirishima were telling him something about Mineta but he couldn’t focus on them.

-His head was constantly turned to you to the point that Kaminari had to shake his shoulder to get him to look at them.

- “Yo what are you looking at?”

-His head was again turned to you his eyes widening only by a fraction while he mumbled something to the two boys.

-Kaminari followed his gaze and his own jaw dropped for a moment before a smirk formed on his face.

- “Well he IS drooling over Y/N like a dog.....”

-At the sound of your name on Kami’s lips, Bakugou’s attention was fully on the boys his right eye twitching at the comment.

-He let out a snarl and raised his hand creating a few small explosions.

- “And what if I am drooling sparky boy?? She wouldn’t mind me looking anyways.”

- “And why is that Bakubro?”

-His smirk widened as he said proudly.

- “Because she’s my fucking girlfriend.”

-Way to be secretive Bakugou.

Shinsou Hitoshi

-Baby doesn’t want to show his true emotions to the outside world.

-Heart been broken too many times.. *isn’t that how the meme goes?*

-He shows it to you because you are HIS and he adores you.

-He knows you won’t hurt him so he gives you his all.

-Such a sweetheart OMG!!!!!!!

-While you two are in school grounds there is not many things that would indicate that you two are together.

-People would have to watch closely to see the sings of your relationship.

-How he sits really close to you during lunch.

-How you tend to come to school sporting his hoodie during cold days.

-It’s all cute and fluffy but so so on the down low.

-Yall are out on a date and you decided to go to the arcade.

-You convinced him to have a dance off with you and now you are both sweaty and panting while you are jumping up and down to the rhythm of ‘Party anthem”.

-Shisnou kinda gave up after a while and he is now just staring at you.

-You on the other hand are giving it your all trying to get everything right.

-You are sweaty and feeling gross which is not cute at all since you are on a date but he promised you ice cream if you beat him with a significant difference.

-You are not letting this slide.

-Hitoshi’s eyes are on your chest that is em...going along with your jumping.

-He is stuck and he is already dreading that you’ll look at him and call him out.

-But he can’t stop.

-He really wishes you were at your dorm right now, the things he would do.

-His blush is getting darker as his thoughts are getting dirtier by the minute until the music stops and you are left panting.

-There’s another thing to add to the list of things to add to his small fantasy.

-You notice that he has been silent for some time now and you try to meet his eyes but you see where they are glued.

-Waltzing up to him you leave a kiss to his cheek and another right under his ear, making him shiver.

- “Stop being so dirty we will be back soon.”

-Winking you walked out of the arcade leaving a very turned on Shinsou behind.

Todoroki Shouto

-Baby boy is slow.

-Yall aren’t together yet.

-He really can’t understand what is going on whenever you enter the room.

-His heart starts to race, his palms get sweaty and he has a weird tendency to smile.

-He wants to be the reason you are laughing.

-He wants to talk to you non stop.

-He wants to be around you 25/8, 366 days a year.

-But he doesn’t understand why this is happening so he just plain out ignores it.

-You have a massive crush on him so it kinda hurts when he doesn’t take any hints.

-You dress up just a little bit while you are out with your friend group since he is part of it.

-You cook for him.

-You offer help or ask for help with studies.

-But nothing.

-You were chilling in the common room.

-You were spread out on the couch, your t-shirt exposed your stomach as you were hanging half off the actual couch and just a pair of short shorts underneath.

-Shoto was coming back from his father’s agency, his nerves were everywhere and his mind wouldn’t shut you out.

-Your soothing voice was there when his father yelled at him that afternoon and even though you weren’t there you helped him get through the day.

-So when the poor thing walked through the door and was met with you hanging off the couch in such a suggestive position, his mind ran wild.

-He couldn’t stop the blush that irrupted on his face as his cheeks and ears became the same color as his scar.

-He almost choked on his spit when you giggled at something on your phone.

-Midoriya came through the door next and was shocked when he saw his friend beat red and eyes wide.

- “Todoroki-kun are you alright?”

- “She’s hot- It’s IT’S hot in here.”

-You turned at his voice, sitting up as your shorts rode up your thighs ever so slightly.

-Todoroki saw and he couldn’t take it any longer, covering his red face with his hand as he mumbled a small ‘excuse me’ and left the room.

-He certainly had an image that would get him through the night.....

Dabi

-Salty boy™.

-Him and Tsukishima would have been best buds I swear.

-He is VERY vocal about his attraction to you.

-Like legit non stop flirting even after you are exclusive.

-Compliments, dirty remarks, dirty promises, dirty actions, dirty dirty dirty things in general.

-He won’t hesitate to make a dirty remark in front of the rest of the league.

-He has NO shame whatsoever.

-Look he finally grew the balls to make you HIS okay?

-He wants to show off.

-But he knows when to not look at you like he wants to devour you.

-He is respectful of Kurogiri so he isn’t a horny bastard while he is around.

-But one day he slipped.

-His hold on his horniness snapped.

-Poor guy.

-Actually scratch that poor you, you are the one who is gonna get it rough later so yeah.

-You had just returned from a mission that had gone sideways.

-Your clothes were ripped and your pants were half burned off.

-Your pretty face had smudges on it and you looked exhausted.

-Immediately you went to take a shower not letting Dabi ogle at you.

-When your shower was over you came back downstairs and order a strong drink, rubbing your temples in an attempt to ease your headache.

-Your hair was wet and sticking to your shirt making it wet and Dabi could SENSE that you weren’t wearing a bra.

-That’s his sixth sense.

-The shirt was black so nothing showed.

-That’s why you couldn’t understand why Dabi was giving you that smirk and glancing down your shirt.

-You rolled your eyes at him and shoved him away from you only for him to grip your waist and set you on his lap.

-He left a kiss on your neck and smirked as you shivered.

-His eyes were right on your chest since he could see EVERYTHING from this angle.

-That’s when Kurogiri stepped back in the room, the drink you ordered in hand.

-He almost YEETED you off of him as a blush bloomed on the few patches of unscathed skin that he had.

-Kurogiri *being the Nomu he is IFHOQOASB I RUINED IT* didn’t really respond to the position you were in.

-He just gave you your drink and went back to polishing the shot glasses.

-Dabi wanted to crawl into a whole and die even though Kurogiri said nothing.

-Poor guy every thought and scenario he made about that night was out the window.

-He cuddled you to drown his shame.

-Bastard..........

Shigaraki Tomura

-I dare you to try and make him check you out in public.

-Sure he might stare at you ass in the DIM LIT bar yall are staying in but that’s just because no one can see his eyes.

-He is beyond shy when it comes to these matters and unlike Dabi even after you are together he wouldn’t stare at you like a crazy person.

-He is very very careful with his glances and calculates when would be the right time to stare.

-Meetings are easy.

-You all are sitting down so how hard could it be to keep his horny side in check?

-Well most of the time is easy.

-You are usually wearing your civilian clothes which are very casual and comfy.

-Nothing is showing and nothing really makes him want to rip your clothes off.

-He wants to cuddle at the sight.

-The problem appears when one day you had to go out on a mission and were called into an emergency meeting by Shiggy.

-Your costume is um... sexy to say the least.

-Everything you are wearing is hugging your body in all the right places and the mask you wear shades your eyes just right.

-You look seductive as hell.

-Shiggy rarely sees you in your villain costume.

-He sees you while you are getting ready and might make a comment or go for a quick round.

-But now it was unexpected.

-He didn’t remember you were to go on a mission.

-Totally forgot.

-So when you come down and since all the seats are taken you have to stay standing, Shiggy is in trouble.

-His eyes won’t leave your thighs and he can’t really form coherent words.

-Dabi is drooling over you and so is Toga.

-They keep pointing out how good you look and how sexy your costume makes you.

-More than you already are.

-Shigaraki has to really one up his self control and not cancel the meeting and drag you to the nearest closet.

-He’s so disoriented during the meeting.

-Kurogiri points it out after the meeting ended and you left for your mission.

-Shiggy had the darkest blush the LoV had ever seen and he had to leave the room.

-Took a cold shower afterwards.

-Waits for you like a lost puppy..... which turns feral once you step into the room.

I don't know how or why but all i know is that his parents were also shape shifters but yeah

they probably died or sumn lmao rip

I mean who takes their baby to the nether anyways

They're built different what can i say

He gets found by a group of piglins and they just. They just adopted him bro. they saw this random orphan child and they said "BET"

So he gets raised by a pack of piglins like fucking tarzan

Not only would he inheret piglin behaviour but he'd subconsciously start altering his form to start looking like them too

Oh and i guess that during his time in the nether, bein raised by piglins and all, he'd speak exclusively piglin language

Once he'd actually learnt how to shapeshift he'd teach himself to shift into a piglin fully

Which was difficult for him to hold but he did it anyways

It was like a "Look!!!! Look what i can do!!!! Look at me :D!!!!! i'm like you!!!!" thing

Techno, in piglish : ay. ay watch this

The baby piglins :

Techno : *shifts into a piglin* look :D!!!

The baby piglins : :O!!!

The baby piglins : *AGGRESSIVE CLAPPING* :O!!!

Mans legit taught himself to be part piglin damn what a flex

At a young age he'd already have his violent tendencies lets be real

You just see this fuckin scrawny 6 year old brunette with awkward tusks throwing hands with several hoglins at once

Baby piglins are passive mobs but Techno's just built different

I mean. Quite literally.

I'd also imagine he'd scrap pieces of gold he totally didn't steal together and make fuckin daggers and shit

,,,,,,yo wait what if techno deadass taught the piglins how to make their gold weapons though

Bro family bonding time they make weapons and shit man 🥺

Haha look at this little found family of piglins and their violent adopted shapeshifting son :D how sweet :)

Okay so the piglins get slaughtered

Y'know the "orphans killed my parents" thing? Yeah ❤

So techno watched his family get slaughtered at the ripe age of 8 :D!!!! Pog champ!!!

After that incident he wouldn't shift into a piglin again for a,,,, very long time.

He was terrified to.

So there's this period where he just. Roams.

Nowhere to go, nothing to see, no family to go back to.

He'd just. Linger.

He'd probably sit and study the people travelling via nether highways from afar

And when i say "sit and study from afar" i mean he fucking robbed them❤

He probably managed to teach himself english by stalking enough of them

What a lad

At one point he gets into the overworld

Probably just by finding a nether portal and going "ah :D."

He'd be pretty much stuck in what became his default form

Which is somewhat a middle ground/mix of both his human and piglin forms

Like his top half is relatively human with the exception of your casual tusks and pointy ears and then you get to his fucking legs

Anyways so he desperately tried to maintain a human facade

Forcing himself to hold a form for that long fucking exhausted him

Especially with the fact that he's probably an unexperienced shapeshifter

...and a child.

Anyways so he'd develop this sorta,,, persona for himself right

Y'know boxing matches? Illegal dog fighting rings?

So you ALSO know how techno played hypixel, blitz, sky wars--

Aha.

MOVING ON----

Anyways mans vibes as the world's youngest pvper for a good while

He gets bored

So he tries to find something new pog champ

Anyway jump to smp earth and [REDACTED]--

Ah shit can't talk about that yet

Anyways so after [A Very Specific Series Of Events] he meets Phil pog champ

I can't really elaborate,,, at all on any smp earth things

Yet.

But I'll say this- Techno does eventually gather the courage and trust he has for Phil to reveal that "uh oh! turns out i'm NOT your average human 15 year old imperliastic emperor!"

And phil just. Shows him his wings in response

I'd write some angsty dialougue but just imagine if its just

Techno : *explains with caution and anxiety that, well shit, mans a shapeshifter. and that he's been struggling to uphold a human facade for Years*

Phil :

Phil : so you're saying you aren't human.

Techno : ...yes.

Phil : *revealing wings* AY SAME

Techno : YOOOOOOOOO

Phil : YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That ISN'T how it goes but is this thread of hcs remotely serious At All?

No❤

Anyways after [More Specific Series Of Events] aka when smp earth ends i'd like to think that after Phil and Techno parted their ways Techno proceeds to become the worlds most violent potato farmer

You'd think that he'd finally settle down after [A Very Specific Series Of Events]?

YOU FOOL

Just imagining this 15 year old who's seen some fucking shit who's gone out to far lands living in his own little bubble with his potato farm just vibing in a fuckin cottage or some shit

His neighboor happens to have a Slightly bigger potato farm than him

He Declares Fucking War.

I mean after being in a position where you've known nothing but violence, death and conflict and wars over Everything and Anything and overall [All That Shit Oh God] it... checks out huh.

Or maybe the mother fucker was just too competitive for his own good

So Techno's just casually warring over potatoes for a good decade of his life ❤

During this period of his life is where Phil would introduce him to his sons

He somehow managed to convince him to take a break

Their conversation is just

Phil : I want you to meet my sons :)

Techno : nono, i've got potatoes to farm

Phil : you're still on about th-

Techno : wait you're a FATHER?

If you've seen the teen techno thread you know what happens next

At this point he's comfortable with his shapeshifting schtick

Shifting into a piglin is like a fucking party trick at this point

,,,,,or sometimes a defense mechanism.

Take ya pick 😌

Just as soon as Tommy and Wilbur find out they INSIST he shows them

Tommy : DO THE THING

Techno : n--

Wilbur : DO THE THING MAGIC MAN

Phil : boys! Don't-

Techno : *sighing* nono it's fine.

Techno : *shifts into a piglin*

Tommy and Wilbur : YOOOOOOOOOOO

Anyways to finish it off during early dsmp Techno and Wilbur would write to eachother

As much as techno hated they were friends ❤

Techno would regularly receive letters with the headlines of

"Hey girl i started a drug scheme"

"Hey girl i accidentally started a fucking nation and we're fighting for our independence with my little brother wbu"

"Hey girl i started a fucking revolution oh god"

"Hey girl we won the revolution"

"Hey girl im running an election to consolodate my power"

"HEY GIRL I WAS FUCKING EXILED"

Wilbur would get messily written letters covered in dirt

Something about his ongoing potato war

Wilbur : *writes long letters about his experiences about the dsmp, let's be real there's probably a whole paragraph dedicated to tommy, ends it asking about how he is doing*

Techno : *responds with "i'm war. (potatoes)"*

Techno finally winning his potato war to immediately get a letter about how the sons of his best friend got exiled

Lmao rip

I think that's it

While I'm here I'll throw in the few hcs about techno's voices that i have yet to detail

*cracks fingers*

So i kinda seperated his voices and the blood god? If that makes sense

Because techno being violent because of the voices in his head is just,,,, bro that's just ableist

I always thought the blood god was this divine being or non corporeal deity of some sorts

Gonna be real with you cheif I don't have solid foundation for that one but that's the gist of it

So like the blood god has this sort of. Influence on him

Because his chat is honestly quite tame ("E" "/rainbowchat" "🦀TUBBO IS GONE🦀" ie basically just the average adhd brain) but it goes rougue with a trigger

So this other worldy being just casually corrupts his inner thoughts into an orchestrated chant for blood sometimes :) no biggie :)

Mans really going through it rn

Ayo fuck it what if the blood god just. used techno as it's vassal lmfao

Mans really going through it rn.

I'd imagine he would've always had his voices

But like he probably gained his blood god later on

Maybe during his roaming period in the nether

Some sort of deal

Some sort of curse

Bruh i really have to flesh that out

brb *pulls out notepad*

Anon when you said "techno hcs" you meant "please elaborate on how you hc techno's backstory in the Least serious way possible with a Bullet list that keeps alluding to this One Thing" right /j

how r these gorgeous guys all into becca? and do u think thats realistic

lol have you been creeping on my ao3 today???

There’s a lot of ways I can answer this so I’ll try to stick to one train of thought. Apologies in advance if I end up rambling.

ok so first lets get these out of the way...

Becca is GORGEOUS. Why wouldn’t they be into her?

Realistic as in a fictional trope, yes. Who doesn’t want to be loved and adored by everyone in their life?

But realistic as in if this was irl: Yeah. It’s possible for all four of the EB group to be into her at one point or another in the 2-3 years they’re firmly in one anothers lives. In terms of romantic feelings, that’s Bryce and Ethan exclusively for different reasons.

With Becca they don’t like her for her physical looks, it’s her vibe and confidence and way she makes them feel when they’re with her (they’re also the smartest men in the nation - certainly not just looking for a partner solely on good looks).

For 3/4 of them you also can’t discount the power and ease of a mutually casual sex arrangement. Her willingness to fuck without any strings or attachments or expectations is very attractive to these busy men.

Tobias, for example, is the typical random hook up. Have you ever been in a club or frat house drunk and itching for a fun time with the sole intention of making bad decisions? Tobias is the person you’d see nearby that’s moderately your type (or gets enough of the goods going to make it worth it), very obviously unattached and easy enough to be willing. And Becca was that for him, too. Just someone to hook up with for a time.

Rafael and Becca had a tiny little spark. They had good conversations and fun together and share a lot of the same values. Rafael is the person you befriend in undergrad that’s the opposite sex (for cis hetero couples) and you have a little tingling for but you’re not sure if it’s friendship or something more, so you start to blur boundaries by making out a couple times. Then one night you cross the line completely. When it’s over with it doesn’t feel right, and you go back to your lives pretending nothing really happened. And you’re not really that good of friends anyway, so you end up naturally falling out when the prospect of intimacy vanishes. (Or, you know, you both start having stronger feelings for other people)

Becca makes Bryce laugh, and there’s just an effortlessness between them whenever they’re together. They had this sort of magnetic kinship since their first meeting. Honestly if it wasn’t for Ethan Ramsey, I firmly believe Becca and Bryce would have ended up together after his residency ends (see: the ending of love lao’s book 3 recap for that hc). When drunk and still not really sure what their friendship is, they sleep together because they’re both horny and why the fuck not? Bryce is that person in your life you have this sort of weird ease of connection to and/because you’re both very open about your sexuality. It’s friends-with-benefits from the beginning. Nothing more, nothing less, nothing else. You know what you are to one another. Except, you don’t account for actually liking the person - don’t account for all the time you prefer to spend with them outside of the bedroom. It all falls together so naturally. This person is your person (even if you’re not endgame, you’re soulmates).

Ethan Ramsey is.... an asshole? lol, no. He’s the love of her life. He’s the person that you fall in love with when you’re least expecting it. Irrevocably and all at once because of who they are as a person underneath than what they show the world. Because of his brain and his heart and his convictions and his infuriating sense of self. And he loves her back for all the same reasons. It doesn’t make sense. But that’s love! It’s not meant to be logical! They fall for each other because of their flaws (character and looks included). Neither really wanted perfection, and neither believes in that concept. They’re volatile and enchanting and drawn to one another for some inexplicable reason. They’re thorns in the other’s side and they wouldn’t have it any other way. The fucking magical sex they have doesn’t hurt, either 😂

thank you for asking 💕 did i answer your question?

#tl;dr : this is a work of fiction. only bryce and ethan have true romantic feelings for becca. everything else was just sex.#askboxed #becca lao #boink boink #open heart #ethan ramsey #ethan x mc #ugly-anon

This isn't really a headcanon request so much as a general question, so feel free not to answer if you don't want to, but do you think solomon could ever be in an exclusive relationship?

HELLO nonnie you popped up unexpectedly in my inbox and i am v glad you did! I don’t have a lot of headcanons for this right now but I do have Some Thoughts so excuse me if this post seems a bit more scatterbrained than I normally do

SO. I’ve mentioned in my hcs and I think it’s pretty clear that Solomon doesn’t really operate on conventional ideals of a relationship. He’s no stranger to casual sexual encounters or even casual relationships, more open relationships, anything else that my conventionally hardwired brain can’t think of right now - he isn’t uptight about traditional relationship structure and the tabboo and exclusivity of sex just does not compute to him.

HOWEVER.....yeah I still think he’s able to fall in love with “The One.”

Now, I don’t think “The One” exists in the way where it’s only one person - it could be anybody for Solomon, so long as they both work for it and are just generally inherently interested/compatible. Like, there is no divine intertwining of their souls or whatever (though that’s not to say he cannot have a soulmate, it just would be less like a manifest destiny and more like both parties just decided “yeah i love you that much”).

But yeah, he would definitely be able to fall in love with MC and want to be in an exclusive relationship with them. I think MC would probably have to bring it up themselves, not that Solomon would spend his time going around and dating other people while simultaneously trying to woo MC, I just generally think MC would have an easier time getting what they want from Solomon if they were upfront with him and took initiative, even just a little.

Also, I think, if MC were to bat their eyelashes a few times, Asmo would have few issues with backing off the two of them if that’s what they wanted. He’s got plenty of time with Solomon and he just wants his darling MC to be happy, and you aren’t going to complain if he sandwiches in between you occasionally for a....long group hug! During an entire movie. And he’ll make casual advances. It’s just who he is, but don’t worry, he won’t actually act on them if it’s not what you want.

idk if this makes sense but tl;dr yes i think he could and would and he’d LIKE it, I just also think MC would have to bring it up. Or Solomon would bring it up but MC would have to be clear that yes, Solomon, I’d like it if maybe I was the only one you kissed for a few years 👉👈

I hope this makes sense / is helpful / you agree! Thank u for thinking I was the one to ask haha! <3

#this isn't the anon i was talking about earlier but dw im just as happy to see you #asked and answered #anon #rambles #solomon #obey me solomon #obey me #obey me shall we date #swd obey me #obey me swd #dear nonnie #asks

let’s talk about lesbophobia in fandom

i don’t like to use the word “lesbophobia” unironically because of all the gross radfem terfy connotations, so i will clarify right off the bat that i am neither a terf nor an aphobe and that if you are i want you off my blog like, right now. unfortunately, the meaning of lesbophobia has been so warped by alt right lesbians that seeing it in an unironic context makes me, a lesbian, uncomfortable, which speaks volumes in itself. so to clarify, lesbophobia is essentially homophobia with a pinch of sexism thrown into the mix, and it’s running rampant in supposed safe spaces and, more relevantly, fandom.

/i’d also like to clarify that i’m not only speaking on lesbophobia, but also the general disgust and disdain for all wlw in fandom, and am using it as a sort of umbrella term/

lesbophobia and disdain for wlw has been around forever, but whilst gay positivity, mlm and mlm ships have been steadily increasing in popularity within fandom over time, wlw and wlw ships have remained perpetual underdogs. why? because lesbophobia has become a fandom within itself. both in and outside of fandom, we see instances of casual lesbophobia every single day—from aggression towards wlw to something as simple and prevalent as the complete and utter lack of sapphic ships and characters in media. hatred of lesbians and wlw is practically a trend, and it’s seeping in through the cracks of fandoms who are already facing issues with minorities and marginalized groups (i.e. racism, ableism). if you honestly think that lesbophobia isn’t prevalent as hell in fandom right now, you’re either not a wlw, you’re not all that involved in fandom, or you’re dumb as shit.

just look at ships. in almost every single fandom, the ratio of mlm ships to sapphic ships is ridiculously unbalanced. people are quick to ship male characters who so much as smile at each other (and i don’t condemn that) but would never do the same for two women—even on the rare occasion that the ship is actually canon. i once wrote a wlw fanfic for a [predominantly straight] fandom, and received messages like this gem:

on the flip side of that, if there is a sapphic ship in canon or fanon, it is often fetishized and sexualised to a disturbing degree. there will be double the amount of nsfw art and fics, and ninety percent of it will be derogatory and fetishized as hell. having been actively involved in several fandoms over the past few years (and currently a content creator in one), i’ve seen instances of all this hundreds of times. people go crazy for mlm ships, but the second you say you ship/prefer a wlw ship, there’s always someone at the ready with, “i think all ships are great!” or “it’s not a contest” or “i prefer [insert m/m or m/f ship] actually” or “they’re my brotp!/why can’t you just let them be friends?”. not only do lesbians and wlw not get to have any rep in media, any rep that they try to create for themselves in fandom just gets attacked or ruined. this is so detrimental not only to all wlw, but especially to younger wlw who will end up being indoctrinated into this belief that their sexuality is something dirty, something that can never be tender and sweet but rather something that deserves to be preyed upon.

building on that, let’s talk about engagement. i run an instagram account (where i have a significantly bigger following) as well as this blog for my fandom, where i post the content i create (mainly text posts). when i first started creating content, i made a lot for a relatively unpopular wlw ship, in which both girls are canonically romantically involved with a dude—though one of them is canonically pan. their canonical m/f ships are both very popular, and i noticed that my engagement was dropping every time i posted them, so i eventually just stopped. it wasn’t even a conscious decision; i merely resigned myself to the fact that the fandom didn’t want to see sapphic ships, and some people would even go as far as to condemn them. for reference, my instagram posts get an average of about 500 likes per post (popular ones usually exceeding 1k), but when i post this ship, my engagement drops to about 250 likes. similarly, my tumblr text posts have an average of about 140 notes per post (popular ones usually reaching up to 750), but my wlw content rarely surpasses 100. this just feeds the cycle of wlw never getting rep: if, like me, content creators become disincentivised by the lack of engagement with their sapphic content, they’re more likely to stop making/posting it, leading to further lack of rep—and when new content creators try to rectify that, they face the same problems.

and then, of course, there’s the treatment of actual wlw in fandom. my best example of this is when my friend and i made an anti account on instagram (the first instagram anti account in that fandom), our bio saying something like “salty and bitter lesbians being salty and bitter”, and received an onslaught of lesbophobic insults and threats from angry stans within hours. (tw: r*pe) one commenter even went as far as to tell us that they wanted us to get r*ped. as well as this, i’ve seen so many instances of people using slurs against lesbians in arguments/in anons, often for no apparent reason other than they feel that they have the right. when i first mentioned i was a lesbian on instagram, my account only had about 200 followers, and within a day i lost 20. i also lose followers whenever i post f/f ships, not quite to that extent but enough for it to be noticeable, on top of the aforementioned engagement dips. in the face of all this adversity, i think a lot of wlw turn to mlm ships because they’re the closest thing we have to actual rep, but when we do we get accused of fetishizing them by the same people who fetishize us. there’s an endless list of double standards that non-wlw have been upholding for years, and i can firmly say that i’m really fucking sick of it. because of our sexuality, we will never be allowed to enjoy something without someone labelling it or us as dirty or otherwise problematic, when to them, the only problematic thing about us is that we aren’t pleasing men.

as i mentioned before, the lack of rep for wlw in media is appallingly consistent, and part of that stems from tokenism. in a lot of modern mainstream media, you’ll have one, maybe two lgbt characters, and nine times out of ten those characters are white cis male gays. of course, there are exceptions to this, but generally, that’s it. script writers and authors (especially cishets) seem to have this mentality of, “oh, well, we gave them one, that’s sure to be enough!”, which means that on the off chance you do get your gay rep, the likelihood of also receiving wlw or any other kind of rep becomes practically non-existant. this belief that all marginalized groups are the same and that one represents all is what leads to misrepresentation on top of lack of rep, which is what makes tokenism so dangerous. if you treat your only gay character badly, you are essentially treating every single gay person badly in that universe. so not only is lesbophobia and disdain for wlw harmful to sapphic women via their exclusion in media, it’s also harming those minorities who do get rep. when people try to defend lesbophobic source material, that’s when fandom starts to get toxic. the need for critical thinking has never been more apparent and it has also never been less appeased—and wlw are getting hit hard by it, as always.

finally, a pretty big driving factor of lesbophobia is, ironically, lesbians. my lesbian friends and i often joke that though everyone seems to hate us, no one hates lesbians more than lesbians do. though i’d say it’s most prevalent on tumblr, i see traces of it all over the internet. the growth of alt right lesbian movements is not only reinforcing hatred for lesbians, but also reinforcing hatred for bi and pan women. here you have these terrible lesbians using their platforms to express their disgust for bi/pan women, for aces and aros, for trans women/nb lesbians, and people see them and say, “gosh, lesbians are just awful.” and just like that, all of us are evil. occasionally, lesbian blogs that i follow get put on terf blocklists for no other reason than the fact that they have “lesbian” in their bio. and the lesbians that actually deserve to be on those blocklists? they’re too busy spewing misinformation about trans women and bi women to care, boosted up by their alt right friends in an ever-expanding movement. i’ve found that this heavily influences fandom on tumblr, lesbians often getting branded as “biphobic” when they hc a female character as a lesbian rather than bi or pan. this criticism of both lesbians and wlw by lesbians and non-wlw alike only ever allows lesbophobia to grow, both in and out of fandom. that said, lesbians aren’t to blame for their own discrimination; rather, many of us have been conditioned into subconsciously endorsing it after spending our entire lives hearing heterosexual platitudes about lesbians and sapphic relationships. homophobic cishets are and always have been the nexus of this oppression—the only difference is that now they can hide behind alt right lesbians.

one thing has been made apparent to me throughout my time in fandom, and that thing is that no one likes to see men “underrepresented”. people hate sapphic ships and lesbians so much because there is no room for men, and men Do Not Like That. so, like the worms that they are, they slither their way in, be it through fetishization or condemnation of wlw characters and ships, and they ruin whatever good things we have going for us. the thing about worms, though, is that they’re easy enough to crush if you’re wearing the right shoes.

so to all my bi/pan gals and lesbian pals: put on your doc martens, because we’ve got ourselves some lesbophobes to stomp on.

I see you do yandere requests and 💦 so what do you imagine the darker papas and Copia are like?

Okay. So. Without going too deep into it, in the time between me writing my original rules, and getting this ask- I had a long and meaningful conversation with a friend about yandere and how a lot of its hallmark traits resemble stereotypes of certain mental illnesses. How this has been harmful to those groups, the stigma, etc. Please know this is not me talking down about your ask or saying you cannot enjoy that content, but I've decided to not write that specific thing for my hcs.

That being said, I am still MORE than happy to write villainous or "darker" hcs that dont involve that specific "obsessive" yandere feel. If that makes sense.

Sorry I hope you still enjoy this!

Also note: most of these have multiple outcomes depending upon certain factors. Ill be tagging anything villain or "darker" as darkau so people can blacklist!

Papa Nihil is a mad king type of villain. It's his world, baby, and maximum hedonism is the goal. He may be older but that does not at all stop him from seeking pleasure even at the risk to his own health. Fucks everything that moves. Holds parties to an extravagant degree. Definitely the kind of bad guy to monologue about past exploits and deeds with the turn of his hand like they weren't horrible things to do. We all (read: other people who aren't him) have to make sacrifices for the church. When he first sees you, you seem like a fun new toy, so to speak. "Cute" is the first word to come to mind.

Likely he first tries to buy your affections. A wolfish smile on his face as he asks if you want a taste of the good life. You two could have some fun. Yet even if you say yes, he soon finds its not enough. Why? He asks himself with a frown. He tries harder, takes more of your time if you let him. You get pulled away from work to have meals with him. He actually asks personal questions about *you* that normally he wouldn't give a shit about in a plaything. But you're not just one of those silly siblings of sin he plays around with.

He hasn't felt this way in a very long time. Its the most serious he's felt in a long time. He still wants to fuck around and basically be his worst self, mind you. But he wants you to be at the top with him. You two can burn brightly together, taking in the best of what his awful actions have bought you. This is if you say yes. If you say no… he smiles. No hard feelings! You'll never be forced to do anything you don't want. It's like he turned off his personality at the drop of a hat. You'll still get gifts after that. Feel his eyes on you around the church. The parties get louder, his screwing around more apparent when you walk in a room. Still, you'll feel his focus on you and nothing else. Almost like he's anticipating for you to change your mind. He'll be waiting.

Papa I - Papa I has always been assumed to be the least threatening of the Emeritus family. He likes to garden, kept to himself after getting off stage. Much of his real "work" is private, you see. Whether it's preparing a poor lost lamb for a ritual after they had betrayed the church for some personal gain. Or slowly and intricately cutting into their skin sigils for the Morningstar. Hes even been known as the best if you need a torturer (although thankfully it is rarer in these days).

You probably take his notice when you express interest in one of his many poisonous plants- lily of the valley. Only if ingested, he tells you. But if you think those are beautiful, he has a lot more he can show you- his private collection.

Its shortly after that you find your duties reassigned to his office. Its out of nowhere, but definitely a step up. The way he phrases it to you is that he needs more help with the garden as one of his previous assistants needed a change of pace. And from what he's heard of you plus your interest, you seem perfect for the job! Really, he just craves to be beside you. Listen to you chatter as you both work the soil, see the sweat roll down your neck on hot days-

The difference between Papa I and everyone else on the list here is that he probably won't make a grand move or gesture. He pines. Hopes that you'll see his feelings and his darkness and love all of it. But deep down he knows how unlikely that is. That one day he'll show you the beauty of ritual hands on. See the blood glisten oh-so-beautifully on your skin. He still sighs happily thinking on it.

If you never express feelings for him, he basically devotes himself to making your life better, in his perspective. Changes your work schedule so its timed well for you to get a good night's rest. Looks out for things you might *need.* If there is anything you want to learn, he's more than happy to show you himself or help you get the resources you need. When it might get bad is when someone expresses interest in you, or you to someone. Ah… well. They're just not good enough for you. Not in his mind. He'll tell you rumors he's heard. Talk to them directly to get them to back off. He has an entire checklist in his mind that they have to meet. Pretty much no one will.

If someone does (its possible but unlikely), however, he feels his heart break. He still pines. And longs. But he lets you go to that person. After all, no matter what horrible things hes done, he wants you to be happy. His heartache is worth that.

Papa II- Papa II as a villain is actually a lot closer to the steteotypes and rumors about him normally- ruthless, cold, and seemingly doesn't care about others. He has this anger deep in his core that is never fully expressed. Truly, he is a sadist in that he usually enjoys the pain of others at his hands. Likes helping out on those rare occasions torture is a thing with Papa I in the lower underground sections of the church. Always seems like hes looking for someone to punish, and usually in a very unpleasant way. Yes, this has extended to death if he deems the "crime" severe enough. The sadism extends into the bedroom for harsh "games"- however he's not a monster when it comes to sexual partners. Still gives them aftercare, even if its a tad on the unfeeling side and more out of obligation.

It probably wasn't just one thing that put you in his sights. He noticed you one day probably doing something kind and kept running into you. He likes picturing your heart racing when you see him, like prey in the face of danger. Over time he starts developing a fondess that he can't quite deny. It's strange. Its been so long since he's genuinely felt this way about anyone, he doesn't know how to react at first. So he pulls out some stops. You get letters, at first, delivered by a ghoul. Later they come with expensive gifts he thinks you'll look good in or enjoy. You should wear it. It pleases him so much to see wear something he got you. Its sort of a subtle claim in his mind. He does expect replies delivered to a certain ghoul or place. Eventually the ghoul comes and there isn't a letter. You're being summoned.

He asks you straightforward to be his prime mover. He's honest in his intentions that he wants you exclusive only to him. He would give you the same if you asked. In fact, he would give you almost anything if you asked. At first this might all seem business but you might notice the slight flush in his cheeks, the unusual hesitation in his voice- little tells. Also the fact he's never asked anyone to be his prime mover, as far as you know. If you say yes, you find he's more gentle when its just the two of you. He has this warm smile in bed you'll catch. He kisses your forehead softly and its this aching tenderness. When others are around, no one would ever know.

If you say no, you are dismissed and he thanks you for your time. Its as if you don't exist to him after that. He just… walks past you like a ghost. Won't acknowledge you if you were to say anything, though I certainly wouldn't. Basically the walls he let down for a brief moment are back up and reinforced. It hurts to see you around, but hes stronger than that. There are things to do in the church. He'll take out these feelings on someone else.

Papa III- As a villain, Papa III is a siren. He's beautiful, says all the right things and pulls lost souls down to the depths with him. On a quick glance, he just seems like someone very devout to the principles of the church and/or hedonistic party guy. His favorite thing to do is lure new people to the church, have them do horrible things and then offer shelter from the other world who will no longer accept them. All with a cute wink or a few silver laced words. This applies to his relationships. He moves fast and likes whoever is interesting at the time- platonic, romantic, alliances. If he decides you're not fun anymore, you get a kick to the curb if the former. The latter usually just ends up to some horrible fate. He thrives on people wanting him so badly they would do anything.

Which is why you as a concept is frustrating. Likely he's already picked you up as someone to have around as a casual fuck or in his "entourage", so to speak. He doesn't fuck around when he wants someone. But you've lasted so long, held his interest. There's a shitty little mercurial part of him that keeps denying what should be obvious. Some days he thinks he'll get rid of you in the morning. Other days he thinks how he can't live without you. He probably has his epiphany when someone else suggests it might be time for you to go. His reaction is filled with anger and aggression. The person seemingly disappeared the next day.

Suddenly he'll be a lot more affectionate. Act like you're his partner in how he conducts himself instead of a follower. All his other sex partners are dumped but not replaced. He asks you be exclusive and practically fucks you to oblivion when you agree. He took after his father in the wolfish smile department. That's what you get from him if you start questioning any of this. Why wouldn't he? You're his favorite. He loves you. The truth of the matter is, even if you didn't love him back, as long as you don't betray him- it stays like this. He adores you and wants you at his side.

If you had answered no to any of it in the first place, he would have gone on without a thought. Oh well!

Papa Copia- Copia is pulling all the strings. He has been for quite a long time. That's why he's papa now, no? Everything and everyone is bent to his will, at least for now until they need another reminder. He's had others killed or just plain framed to get them out of his way. But through it all, the shy and incredibly awkward mannerisms he exaggerated to put peoples guards down, were the most real around you. In gatherings in the church he'd find himself staring, quiet and calculating. He'd slip into fancies about what it would be like to have you romantically. Something about you makes him feel… like an ordinary man. The vulnerability made his heart race and dangle over an imaginary precipice.

Once the new Papacy is official, he comes to you, privately. No, you're not in trouble, he smiles and gives a nervous laugh. He has a proposal. He wants you to be his prime mover. His jewel above all others. If you accept, you'll be treated like royalty in the church. Hanging on his arm at events where no one would dare to touch you or speak ill of you. Sometimes when you're alone he just likes to hold you. Out of all the terrible, rotten things on this earth, you're actually his. Once he realizes he can trust you, he tends to have more vulnerable moments. Things he's probably never told anyone. No matter how stained his hands, he will make sure you are never hurt.

However, you're free to tell him no- He'll be shocked, perhaps try to charm his way. If you still say no, he leaves to think on it. As much as it pains him, if he cannot have you, he would rather not see you at all. He's not going to kill you or hurt you though, no- you might think so for a moment when you're pulled into his office with Imperator behind him. Instead he tells you with some regret that you are to be transferred to another church. He'll miss you, as will the members of the main church of course. But you're needed elsewhere. That's it. As if it was just routine. The next week you leave and he watches you from a window, something in his chest aching. You are his soft spot. And he can't risk having that exposed if he can't have you.

fuckoff long post about my skeksis language thoughts below the cut. i ought to do more with this but it’s been sitting in my files for a couple months now and i want to Show People

-i've talked about this hc on here before, but i like it enough to repeat. the existence of names like skekmal and skekvar indicate that they have some means of producing labial consonants with a beak (presumably the skeksis can pronounce their own names. also, while i am very fond of assuming the same "this is translated from what they're actually saying" conceit tolkien uses applies to tdc, it seems unnecessary and overly complicated to assume anything of the sort about *character names,* especially ones that don't sound like real-world names to start with. i am going to assume unless told otherwise that those are their actual in-universe names and not "translated" for human benefit). my favored solution is that they have syrinxes like a parrot’s rather than humanoid vocal apparatus.

-there are separate extant skeksis and gelfling languages. (evidence for this: the skeksis were straight up originally supposed to speak their own language in the movie. "shadows of the dark crystal" has a comment about how well skekso speaks gelfling. also, "shadows of the dark crystal" does some things with speech patterns for the skeksis, which i will get into below and which, with the possible exception of chamberlain and novels!hunter, make most sense to me to treat as second language difficulties--i have a hard time seeing, say, emperor deliberately speaking ""wrongly"")

one might expect that the skeksis, being the way they are, would install their own language as the official or state language. given that "shadows of the dark crystal" specifies that skekso's accent in the Gelfling language is pretty good, in a scene taking place in the castle ("his voice sounded almost cultured, his accent in the gelfling tongue much more perfected than the stilted broken phrases of the Chamberlain" (*shadows of the dark crystal* 202)), i'm assuming that *isn't* the situation, and for whatever reason they're using Gelfling for state business. given the skeksis in general, that sure isn't out of a sense of benevolence.

one option: the skeksis treat their language as a Special In-Group Thing that they don't want to use with or maybe teach to outsiders. it's become essentially a ritual thing (which might in itself warrant an explanation as to how that came about, tbh), or they do use it for casual purposes but only among themselves, something like that.

another option: there's some specific reason the skeksis lang would be impractical as a state language--i think the most likely thing for this is that there's some aspect(s) of the skeksis lang that are just anatomically difficult or impossible for gelflings to produce, perceive, or both (my initial thought was just "they might have sounds a gelfling doesn't have the right anatomy to make," influenced by the syrinx idea, but tbh going with that same idea i think like, crows, have fairly nuanced signals that we might just hear as "caw" across the board, so a species with both that sort of vocal anatomy and their own language could conceivably have nuances of sound difference a different species wouldn't Pick Up On, either?)

and these aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive, either

-name vs title: (this is as much my friend skye's (@deerpunk) idea as mine, so i don't want to take full credit for it) using a skeksis's personal name vs their title is a formality distinction pretty similar to the T-V distinction, except that, due to the skeksis being How They Are, the more positive familiarity/intimacy sense has been lost in most contexts, for most skeksis, and most of what's left is the insult sense. (there are some exceptions to this: skekvar to skeksil, when he's decided he trusts him, maybe skeklach and skekok (although that strikes me as half-jokingly rude friendship, so it could be both tbh), skekmal's death--and that could be a breaking down of formality expectations because the situation is so dire.) because strength, respect, ornamentation, dignity are so important to the skeksis, using someone's title to refer to them is the default, and using a personal name is specifically marking something. this is also why we very rarely see anyone call emperor "skekso" (with the exception of, to the point i’ve gotten to in the novels at the time of writing, skeksa and skekmal--and those two seem more likely to talk back to skekso anyway tbh)--it would just be rude as hell and there might be consequences

it's also of immense interest to me that at one point in "shadows of the dark crystal," skekmal refers to emperor as "so." i have not seen this kind of shortening anywhere else. it's either a peculiarity of skekmal, which would check out, given how weird his speech patterns generally are in that book, or an additional level of informality, which presumably no one but skekmal has the guts to *use* (especially for skekso holy shit).

-"shadow of the dark crystal" gives several skeksis specific fucky speech patterns (presumably in the gelfling language), *besides* what's going on with chamberlain, which i think can mostly be attributed to like. Chamberlain. chamberlain has multiple scenes in AOR where there are only other skeksis present (so i think it’s a fair guess that they’d be using the Skeksis language), and his speech patterns are just as weird, in the same ways, as when he’s talking to gelfling.

so what i'm saying about this is mostly discounting chamberlain, although i will say that the “using the same weird speech patterns in sentences that are in-universe presumably in skeksis and gelfling” thing, to me, suggests maybe that he actually has a different kind of fucked up speech pattern across languages, and it’s being “translated” as the same for the benefit of the viewers (i would guess the skeksis and gelfling languages don’t have exactly the same grammar; i would also guess that chamberlain talking kind of weird is, as iirc the wiki suggests, a deliberate choice meant to project a certain image). it’s also interesting that from the very little information i have just from “shadows of the dark crystal,” chamberlain does not make the same errors as emperor (possibly he actually speaks gelfling fairly well and is playing up “oh look at poor harmless chamberlain, i don’t speak your language too good, be nice to me :)” ?)

i'm going to talk about *shadows of the dark crystal*!skekmal separately, since his speech patterns, as mentioned above, are kind of wild and have some commonalities with both chamberlain and the other skeksis in the book. i feel it necessary to distinguish novels skekmal from aor skekmal, who talks normally if a bit melodramatically. (also i'm getting the impression they have slightly different personalities, from what i've seen so far, but that's not relevant to this monstrosity of a post)

i am going to list the weird sentences individually in a bit here. the most notable oddities (discounting chamberlain and hunter) are copula omission, verb number agreement (possibly person, too, but english has so little verb agreement that that's hard to judge); "gelfling" being pluralized as "gelfling," which i think is common enough in tdc but in combination with the previous point made me wonder about pluralization errors? the omission of definite articles, and some odd word order stuff that could also be taken as sheer pretentiousness

copula omission:

"gelfling the ones that do the fixing" (202)

"gelfling causing problems for us, lord skeksis (202) ("lord skeksis" there also feels odd to me; i think i would have expected a definite article, and maybe a different word order)

"all gelfling traitors" (211)

verb agreement:

"we love gelfling, we do, we loves them" (203)

"after all skeksis does for you! gelfling came here just to tell such lies!" (211)

misc:

“daughter-soldier” (202) is not egregious but a bit odd

“yes?” to end a wh-question (202)

"silverling is sounding like a traitor herself" (212)

"see the crystal herself" (214) is not terrible but feels a Little weird

“we care not”

hunter: (not sure whether to even count this for Skeksis Speech Oddities because his speech patterns are SO wild)

"skeksis tower"

also drops first person subject pronoun (222)

"end this now, skekMal will do" (222) -- third person for himself, weird word order

omission of third person subject pronoun also

consistent omission of articles, except "skekTek the Scientist"

"not if skekMal make and take it for *himself*" - verbal agreement error

"what we does with Gelfling" - verbal agreement error

more subject pronoun omission and verb agreement errors- "silverling wanted to know what we does with gelfling. wanted to see for itself...got what it deserves" (222)

"hard to fight while carrying stone" (225) - this is okay but feels kind of weird (at least personally i’d probably say “it’s hard to fight…” in this context)

skektek also omits subject pronouns (238)--"gets to see the crystal *now*"

we don't see skektek omit first person, which is interesting; i’m taking that as essentially a characterization thing--it makes sense to have skektek in particular emphasizing his own presence and relevance

"skeksis taking care of it, taking care of gelfling" - past progressive expressed as simple progressive with no copula (243)

"how's skeksis to protect little gelfling when crystal cracked?" - agreement error, article omission (243)

"when growing old? growing weak?" (243) - omission of both subject pronoun and copula

negative concord--"not one with nothing"--(245)

"where the one with wings" (248) - copula omission

"skekmal smells 'em" (248)--is this the first place we get a potentially animate pronoun used for a gelfling by a skeksis? and it's plural?

"what says gelfling"

"gelfling wings comes fluttering out to save it" (248)--with "it" being gurjin, presumably, since skekMal would be unable to grab naia since he doesn't know exactly where she is. so this would be "gelfling wings comes fluttering out to save gurjin;" "gelfling wings" could be interpreted as "gelfling with wings" or "gelfling's wings" with about equal workability in this sentence--"gelfling with wings comes fluttering out to save gurjin" or "gelfling's wings come fluttering out to save gurjin"--Gurjin takes it as the second ("gelfling wings fly her to ha'rar")

"skekMal kills this one, then it kills the others" (249)--skekMal using not only third person, but inanimate third person, to refer to himself. skekMal using third person like this could be taken as meaning that referring to yourself in the third person either has a different connotation than in english (i tend to think of it as sort of childlike or cutesy, and skekMal is REALLY not that), and most likely different connotations for skekMal doing it than chamberlain doing it, or this is just a really weird take on him.

also, I’ve mostly been assuming the skeksis using “it” for gelfling is just a “they don’t see gelflings as fully sentient” thing, but that can’t really apply to skekMal; i wonder if the skeksis language doesn’t have a pronoun animacy distinction, or it doesn’t work the same way as in english, and they’re just Worse about remembering to use the right ones for gelfling, because of the “not seeing gelflings as people” problem?

you could take that farther and say the skeksis language, or maybe the urskeks? don't have third person pronouns at *all;* (at any rate, my personal headcanon has always been that they didn't originally have gendered pronouns, or really gender at all per se, and skeksa and (probably) skeklach (and by extension presumably their urru counterparts) just heard this "she" and "woman" thing from non-skeksis and went "yeah i want that")

also this could have relevance to chamberlain and novels!skekmal using third person for themselves so much

my friend skye, mentioned above, took this and suggested the skeksis lang is grammatically similar to japanese, in connection with the urskeks being super collectivist, which i like. It would also jive with the verbal agreement and pluralization errors, inconsistent use of articles, and copula omission.

this post may be updated with more novels stuff later on, because This Is What I’m Doing With My Major I Guess.
