JDKASRJDJE I LOVE YOUR WRITINGS! Please can you write headcanons for chuuya, dazai, and oda with an executive s/o I LOVE YOUR WRITINGS TYSM💞💞💞
AAA I LOVE YOUR LOVE and i loved this prompt though i kinda focused on meetings more then relationship because the power dynamic is too sexy for me to think of rn okay here we go
;;
chuuya
you rose in the ranks the same time as him and dazai, but you've been part of the mafia since birth. your parents were already high up in the organization under the old boss, but as casualties of the crossfire left in his demise mori kept an eye on you well aware of the revengeful spirit in youth. luckily, your ambition outweighed your anger. ambition, of course, is what chuuya loves about you.
chuuya was still the first of you three to make the rank but he never vouched for you. he knew you were strong, he respected your skills, and most of all you hated preferential treatment. it's why kouyou was the one to vouch for you, because for some reason she has this twisted need to mind fuck you like the evil step mother figure you never needed.
but its because she knows chuuya is in love with you, and has been for some time.
call it her blessing but your first executive roundtable had the two of you sitting across from one another, and while you spoke out on political actions in place with mafia pawns kouyou watched as chuuya couldn't take his eyes off of you with a grin likely hurting his cheeks. it's the power, the influence, but most of all the calm you've retained all this time as others would take shots or jab at your pride.
and then mori sent him overseas. cockblock, really, so kouyou took her time creating the exceptional partner for chuuya you are, accentuating the poised but dangerous professional you already were
then he came back. then he was forced into using corruption. then all this meticulous work done on you faded as you sat at his hospital bed side waiting for him to wake up, all strength and resilience gone the minute his life was on the line beyond your natural occupational hazard
and when he woke up, chuuya did what gravity does best: he pulled you in
dazai
mori branded you as his replacement, the promotion completely out of his own pettiness, and if dazai didn’t know your name before he sure did four years later when you showed up to the ada intent on ruining his day
“mail for osamu!” your voice was eerily chipper, and though he ignored you and remained in his seat his eyes still trailed the way your hand draped across tanazakis arm when you handed him the red envelope, most of all the way you managed to wink at him in the reflection of the windows like you made sure he was watching you
the envelope was like blood, and inside red ink sketched a drawing of his exact office, the one he would sit in, sleep in, occasionally bleed in if the day called for it. it was a token of rudeness, like you were challenging his departure by reminding him of something so pitifully regimen
he tore up the drawing and stuffed it in his pockets. the pages were probably taken by the current eventually and he could have forgotten it even when there was the short lived alliance, but you showed up to watch ranpo work the case at the rivers edge and it was hard to miss your blood red overcoat, like the color of a dying stop sign begging to turn off despite a dedication to its job.
“i thought you all wore black” “i don’t want you to miss me in the crowds, osamu” your voice was certainly not honey, but a deep tar that made his breath hitch. what the fuck. what the fuck? what the fuck! he couldn’t stop thinking about you, you who was just an archives filer according to documents he found when searching for the bounty on atsushi, you who would drink tea cold he found when following you to your favorite cafe where you would pretend to read with that sick smile on your face not touching your drink until it got cold
he was uncharacteristically obsessed, it was certainly bothersome. he wondered if he wanted to die just so he wouldn’t have to worry about you anymore or think about how you smelled like the ocean, like a tidal wave pulling the air from his lungs and threatening to drown him
oda
you and oda go way way back. he was your go-to hitman while you were climbing the ranks of the mafia under the previous boss; you needed a confidant to your political warfare and who was better than someone who never missed a shot?
when the old man died and the new boss came in it was surprisingly easier to make it to an underboss rank than you thought, and you put in a good words for oda even when he refused to kill. it was a weird change in his character but you didn’t care, he was still the loyal confidant you needed, and eventually he became a friend
the kid became an executive before you went on a real date. in fact he was the one to push you two together, like he thrived in the emotional uncertainty that would fill the room whenever the two of you interacted. for a while he was just one of your pawns, one of those men you used and kept only for another battle, but you respected his absolve and most of all his inability to separate your position from your person. he was… impossible
so you tried to seduce him, obviously, and then it went horrifically wrong, obviously
long story short you really knocked the port mafia gala out of the park when ango ended up roofied and far too happy for anyones liking so you and oda were forced to drag his body out of the building and to a getaway car, and before you could apologize and admit to the disaster he planted his hands on either of your cheeks and pulled your mouth to his, because how stupid were you to think you needed to trick him into loving you he said, because how long was he going to keep him on a leash he said, because how good was he supposed to be when he would drop any moral for the things you ask of him he whispered against your bare skin in the morning and every day after that when you woke up next to him
and then he was gone, and you forgot to ask how long was he supposed to love you only after everybody else

I know this will look better with shading because it’s supposed to be tight shiny material but I have no will in my heart to shade anything. I think she’s turning out really cute? I hope the tummy isn’t too much her skirt makes a little muffin top and she’s leaning forward. I tried to kinda give he anime eyes and stuff but I just don’t know like... how to make anime bodies work. I gave her chibi feet because the reference image had them and I think it’s supposed to be that contained high heal round bottom foot thing that’s only really possible in cartoons but still looks pretty cool? I know people can really really freak out if proportions on their characters change at all but I just.... can’t figure out how to translate that to the style of anatomy I use... anime girls have no ribs or bellies at all! and I do not begrudge them the stylistic approach but I do draw those things and I worry someone’s gonna be like ‘it’s really triggering for me to see fat bodies’ or something when she’s really really thin just leaning forward. (I saw someone do that to slightly too curvy fanart once, aaa)
This is why it’s a good thing I can’t talk too much on twitter I will ramble all my insecurities. does she still look cute and kinda sexy at least? stress....

helo today i am going to be talking about daddy papi sexy icon Damon Salvatore. I know im fucking obsessed but this man makes my ovaries explode so i need some way to let it all out so here i go
first things first his mf looks
his eyes omfg his eyes he could stare at me and i would melt his bright blue eyes i already am quite a fan of pretty eyes but his eyes ive been obsessed for a very long time like wtf his eyes are so seductive and for what why do you do this to me huh damon why oh why HIS eyes omg when he looks at elena is with such care and love, id PAY for him to look at me like that HE COULD STOMP ON ME AND ID SAY SORRY AND THANK YOU ok now his little smirk oml when he did something bad he'd do his little smirk and i know it'd be very sociopathic of me to actually enjoy that but why the fuck did i get turned on by that why is he such a sex icon big dick energy is radiating I COULD LITERALLY BE WATCHING A SCENE OF HIM AND ELENA FLIRTING CASUALLY AND I'D BE SWEATING THAT WOULD FILL A WHOLE OCEAN I'D NEED TO PAUSE AND TAKE A BREATHER BECAUSE THAT MAN IS TOO MUCH FOR ME.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OMG THESE SCENES WERE SO EXCITING FOR ME, ID PAUSE AND JUST ADMIRE THE ELEGANT BODY OF THIS SUCH MAN AND THERE WERE SO MANY BATHROOM SHOTS OF THIS MAN HAVING A SHOWER LIKE I DONT BLAME THE DIRECTOR REPEATING THIS SHOT
WHY YOU SAY?? I MEAN LOOK AT HIM ITS NOT FAIR CAN I BE ELENA
Tumblr media
SCREAMS SCREAMS UMM DONT BE SHY UNBUTTON MORE
Tumblr media
OK NOW IVE DONE A LOOKS ASSESSMENT. IT IS OFF TO DO A PERSONALITY ANALYSIS BECAUSE HE COULDVE BEEN REALLY HOT AND HAD A DEAD PERSONALITY like matt (sorry matt ps i still love you) but no damon has not let me down with his personality so lemme talk about that
the fucking humour:
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
OK THIS IS JUST mf fragments to his smart ass humour but omg this guy is carrying the show with its humour, i find humour extremely attractive so him just being a little devilish sociopathic smart ass bastard boy is all i ask for and it was received, stefan is great lemme tell u that but one of the reasons its damon>stefan for me its maybe because i prefer playful characters who can quit the intensity and actually have fun so yea personal preferences come into this
Emotional:
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
my boy is very emotional, hes a vampire yada yada but he hasnt flicked the switch off of his humanity hes still a ball of fluff who tries to cover it up with spikes so he seems tough but some sad scenes you can see right through him like some above. The first one is him letting things pile up over and over again and its killing him in the inside hes such a cinnamon roll and all he needs is a hug and someone to tell him hes gonna be alright...can i plz volunteer to do that ✋
the second one was a scene that made go waaaaaaa and tear up because that was the scene when he was opening up about how he wants and loves elena but shes not hers, shes stefans around then. The fact hes showed as some type of dickhead but he could be rlly douchy and literally just steal her away from stefan but he doesnt because shes "brothers girl" aaa hes caring and it hurts how much he does and his sad scenes hurt, hes not bad hes just very broken inside.
Unapologetically Honest
Tumblr media Tumblr media
one of the reasons i love about him is that hes just so mf honest which is ironic because around s2 its just elena calling him a liar anyways hes honest with a lack of apology which i feel like would be extremely necessary when theres a flock of bad guys always at your doorstep, sugar covered words aren't needed tbh thats where his honesty comes in
hes aware of himself and knows that he can be dickhead some way or another so its funny when hes aware kinda gives definition to his character being a self proclaimed dickhead
i stan alarics and damons friendship theres so mf honest with eachother, alaric could be getting emotional about his relationships and this man could just go "but they're dead.. *sips tea* " hes so unbothered theres something attractive about it
Romantic:
youtube
umm so i kinda forgot the post only allows 10 pics so you lot are lucky enough that u get a video
anyways im extremely attracted to intense romance rather than cutesy lovey dovey, this guy ticks the box for intense hes so mf sexy with like one touch can u explain this science to me BECAUSE THIS GUY SCREAMS SEX WTF AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW ELENA CONTROLS HER SEXUAL DESIRES BECAUSE BITCH U SURE DO KNOW I'D DO ANYTHING THIS BASTARD WOULD TELL ME TO DO ANYWAYS THERE WAS THIS SCENE WHERE ELENA WAS WORKING OUT AND THIS GUY WAS TOUCHING HER RIBCAGE OR SOMETHING AND THE HEAVY BREATHING I'D PROBABLY FAINT IN HIS ARMS BUT THIS WOMAN HELD IT TOGETHER CAN HE PLZ TAKE ME ADOPT ME ILL LIVE IN UR HOME I'LL LIVE IN THE TINIEST PLACE IN UR HOUSE I DONT MIND ME I JUST NEED TO BE GRACED BY UR LOOKS the intensity is legit like fire to the skin, i blush and scream for elena im a literal pterodactyl screeching when he comes on screen with him naked and one towel covering his big dick i would write the director a mf big ass letter to persuade him to let damon walk in with no towel pls i beg cmon u can do it i know u want too
anyways overall damon salvatore is my husband papi daddy and i do admit i simp for him and hes hit me like a wrecking ball im on s3 for vampire diaries ill keep u lot updated if anything happens in my shift of simp but for now im kind of addicted to this bootylicious babe actually now i think about it what if i actually ever meet him or something id probably weep and faint yes that'd happen ill probably just stare and i dont blame him if he kicks me out for being a creep anyways uh this was my essay hope u lot enjoy because i sure as heck enjoyed screaming my burning passionate love for Damon Salvatore if someone was selling a damon salvatore in store id be the first one to purchase and i feel like i speak for the nation of damon simps ily babes because i totally understand this lust you have for him
anywho bye bye xoxoxo

also lol he said Rejection fueled my ambitions which, yknow,, i already knew but it still hurts and i will continue to talk ab it xoxo
AH HELP. "...if ebay had been invented at the time he would've sold me online there and then,"
"man hands on misery to man, yknow"
THEN PROCEEDS TO CONNECT IT TO MUSIC/HIS CAREER. this man said :) the one thing i truly have a passion for. the one thing i fucking like.
oh yeah. bullied by students AND teachers.
oh god hes 42ish during this interview? ok.
the fuckin school bully saying he wouldve acted differently if he knew what hed become
getting called "faceache", then proceeds to call 2d that. jfc he really does just repeat what everyone says. really "treating others how i was treated/how they treat me"
maybe thats why? hes kinder to fans? bc :] you support me and like me so, ok ill return that energy
MURDOC GETTING HIS ASS BEAT N PARADING HOME LIKE WELL I WON BC 'I PISSED YOU OFF' SJDJD
a real rowdy boy. absolute nasty boy. fraud and arson... shooting ppls windows with his air pistols
black sabbath being a huge inspiration? fucking absolutely.
became a satanist n shit at age 16? "it fitted me like a glove" "heavy metal and devil worshipping became my favorite past times" ajsj funny that ppl in trying times often seek religion or following of some sort
heavy metal being his favorite, n loving the clash, while hannibals was more punk based
hannibal breaking murdocs nose for the 2nd and 3rd time for playing his music on hannibals turntable
he doesnt sound that bitter? ab hannibal? he doesnt sound incredibly fond but he talks ab how he got him into a lot of music. so, i imagine they we're a bit closer than i thought?
international baccalaureate in antisocial? anthropology?
MURDOC IS ACTUALLY SMART HE WAS JUST. NOT INTERESTED IN THE SUBJECTS? I GUESS? (also,,, he literally Built cyborg noodle and i think he had a PhD too lol. but its always nice to hear hes actually...yknow, interested or good at other things)
alright but murdoc having a fascination w/ other cultures - or at least some interests, that lead him to actually study the damn subject and "pass with flying colors"
'fuck college though. im gonna be a rockstar'
he sold his soul at 18ish? whenever the fuck he got kicked out but college was mentioned so my brain goes to 18ish idk
he lived with his father still and paid rent via low paying jobs one including 'part time dressing as santa'
help he was ab to take a Personal Job for quick cash and uhh well, "still made me call him sir though" he really said 20 dollars is 20 dollars, huh "that story was totally true"
alright, 1997,,,
2d stuff
loves zombie stuff? thats really cute, and is freaked out by the way they move. god he rambles
both he and murdoc are horses in the chinese zodiac
[[jfc ok if the official shit compares them a lot i understand why ppl ship them but Dont. its a narrative foil and that doesnt always mean Romance jfc.]]
SUMTHINK.
truly... a lil stinker. super cute bouncing baby and a "bit thick" which is stull so endearing to me. hes just a happy man!
excitable 10 year old and would dance around his room
jfc the fact he has normal/caring parents. i kinda forget how opposite hes supposed to be from murdoc but i think thats another thing jsjsysg (murdoc said why isnt my tragic story making me famous why does he get to be the Star. no wonder he acts like a loon)
i still dont get how gettin bonked by a tree branch made him go bald and also turn his hair blue
big tiddy nurse mommy,,,
went to the same school as The Cure and got decent grades despite hittin the noggin quite hard. WANTED TO BE A STORM CHASER... OMG??

but on that same note, had absolute faith (or desperate) in 2d which i love
ransacked the fucking music shop jdjdj and 2d said he was Just Standing There behind the counter the whole shift hdhdh
"thats when your eye came out, yeah" "yeah!-" HELP WHY DOES HE SOUND SO HAPPY AB IT ?? yes he said ut hurt but he sounds...ok
jfc murdoc ragdolling this poor mf around. dunking him and slapping him around. actually? so incredibly terrible and abusive and i hate him for that 🔫 im sorry 2d stans. we dont condone that behavior here ong.

"just two black holes...[ah] it looked great...a blue hair, blacked eyed GOD- the girls would go wild-" "pretty boy looks" ???? HELP. HE DOESNT GO LIGHT ON THE COMPLIMENTS, HUH
RUSS TIME
oh yeah, he straight up kiddnapped this man help. idk how he managed that, russ is a Big Man??
AND MURDOCS MUSIC WAS SO FUCKING SEXY GOOD that russel said hm alright ill stay, :] out ifbhis owm free will im screaming.
"oh this is one of them febreeze commercials" "uh . yeah sure. *murdoc turning on his Sick Tunes*" but that either means? it was just his guitar playing the convinced russ? unless he and 2d recorded sumn?
"2d was the looks, murdoc the brains, then russel truly was the heart"
'while 2d and murdoc liked music, this man was a MUSICIAN' god fucking bless this book holy shit ny man russ getting some respect. he said back hurts from carrying this band.
murdoc basically heard this guy had big trauma that gave him So Many Skills n said "thats what i want" ok idk thats actually really? inch rest ting to me. seems that murdocs fine handing out compliments but i guess that where his charisma really helps out yeah?
"he was going to be in my band whether he liked it or not" ...murdoc-
HELP. 2D IS LIKE BRO GO ON IM LISTENING 🥺 despite hearing the story 50-60 times and murdoc said fuck off you lil shit.
ok irrelevant but i love his voice! its super comforting n nice to listen to 🥺
HELP MURDOCS SO BITTER. "NOTHING THAT HAPPENS TO US IS NORMAL" WELL YEAH. THIS IS TRAUMA CENTRAL.
idk how/why he sucked up all his friends souls though ... how are they all possessing the same person. they said "its my turn on The Russ"
DELL IS HIS ACTUAL, LITERAL SOULMATE...KING...😭
went to a private school,,, and was already possessed? and the thing where he gets bigger and smaller is a reoccurring thing?

My ideas if Wales gets referenced in this new britain region which is probably unlikely but we can hope:
* Another sheep pokemon/a mareep regional variant/just mareep being common over here
* llamhigyn y dwr regional variant of gligar! As a kid i always thought gligar was meant to be one of those! Its a mytholigical flying frog with a scorpion tail, and really the only reason i dont think gligar is based on it is because its ground instead of water type. Like its really specifically similar right down to the wings being webs under the arms!
* Welsh Lady pokemon! (The traditional costume kids wear at eisteddfods)
* Maybe instead some sort of legendary based on eisteddfods in general? Theyre a poetry/art festival where the winner gets "the chairing of the bard" aka just imagine ur average school contest except if ur in wales u literally get knighted with a fake sword, crown and The School's Personal Throne. Its very weird in retrospect but it just seemed normal when i was a kid. I won it once and i was so anxious having to go thru the big celebration thing!! Like aaa just let me take my certificate and run! XD So yeah maybe a legendary based on the eisteddfod throne itself? Its called a throne but its more of a fancy wooden chair with patterns carved into it. So some sort of wooden dragon! And the legend would be that only the most talented bards can ride it and it bucks off anyone it thinks isnt purehearted enough. And maybe it could have a lovespoon for a tail cos thats also another wooden welsh thing. (Fancy carved spoons for good luck and/or romantic gifts)
* welsh cake pokemon!! Theyre just a sweetened scone with raisins in it, but i think it could be really cute as a design. Im thinking a rock type that just coincidentally looks like a cake with raisins, and it rolls around sideways like a big goofy crab~
* or if you wanna go for other local foods maybe mix the kelpie with bara bryth? (Seaweed bread paste stuff) So its just a loaf of bread that evolves into a badass horse and it would make no sense to anyone except brits, lol.
* perhaps a legandary based on the bard taliesin? It could be similar to nebby in starting off with a weak baby form but then becoming a badass! Cos his origin story was that he wasnt naturally all super cool so talented at singing that he could make literal magic happen just by sheer creativity. Instead he accidentally drank a magic potion of creativity that a witch made, and his abilities came at the cos of Pissing Her Off Forevermore. So maybe the baby form cpuld be a witch's cauldron? And have a tail made of chains to symbolize how he was enslaved as that witch's assistant and managed to escape with her most valuable prize. And then his ethereal fancy humanoid form could maybe be similar to meloetta's living music thing but more with calligraphy instead? But perhaps still have a similar chain tail to show his origins, except now the links in the chain are all fancy calligraphy Os, lol
* accompanying legendary possibilities: ceridwen (the evil witch from that story) or morfran (her innocent son) Morfran did nothing wrong but is often painted as more of the villain of the story than she is, simply because he was black. Yeah there's racism even back in our mythology, ugh...! I always felt so depressed for morfran cos the story is that ceridwen only made this super magical potion of being the best bard ever cos everyone said her son was the ugliest man on earth and EVEN SHE AGREED so she thought she had to give him some magic powers to stop people from hating him. And instead taliesin steals it and goes off to be the most powerful and respected and also handsome man ever, the end. And seriously the ONLY THING they mention about why this child is ugly is that he was "black like a crow" and also his name means evil crow. And thats just the end of his story forever, being some other dude's origin story and then forgotten into the void :( So like hey a pokemon criticizing that part of the myth wouls be great too! Like maybe have morfran be a counterpart legendary like latias to latios and he just looks equally beautiful with a reversed colourscheme of dark skin and white calligraphy patterns. And maybe the pokedex entry could be like "taliesinmon got its powers thru a magical gift from meloetta" and "morfranmon worked really hard for its powers all on its own and also is very socially anxious and relateable and tumblr user tumblunni's favourote character in all british mythologies despite also representing the worst part of our nation but hey its not this man's fault please rescue him ok" Srsly its not like its common to see taliesin referenced in fiction but morfran is even more forgotten and i think he needs at least one positive fictional depiction to make up for being screwed over in the original myth.
* Another myth with unintended bad messages is the one of Blodeuwedd or Dwedd (friends may recognize that i named my Gourgeist after her!) Her story is that she was an artificial human created out of plants in order to be some guy's sex toy basically. Yet she's the villain of the story cos she refused to marry him and ran off with another guy. Like seriously she was BORN to marry this dude! Even if he's the big mythological prince we're supposed to root for, with modern morality perspectives its kinda impossible to see it that way. At least unlike morfran she actually does do other stuff to establish her as a villain other than just existing, she comes back with her new boyfriend to kill the dude who made her and thus set the course of history awry cos he was A Really Inportant Destiny Prince And All. But seriously dude this is 100% your own fault for being creepy enough to not want to date real women and instead have some messed up preprogrammed woman who'd do whatever you want. "The only reason she wouldnt obey like he wanted must be because the seed of evil was in her heart" yeah no maybe it was the seed of free will u bastard. Anyway they have a funny sequence where prince douche mc douchebag is prophesized to never be killed by etc etc etc so dwedd and her new boyf have to trick him into THE MOST CONTRIVED CIRCUMSTANCE EVER to find a loophole. I think it was something like one foot on a goat and one on a bucket while at the border line between two countries at the crack of dawn? And as fitting a standard boring hero story of course eeeevil dwedd gets thwarted and prince pompous is ressurected and she's punished forever by being turned into an immortal owl for some reason.
* SO YEAH! Plant owl legendary! I just thought this myth in particular would be cool cos a female plant legendary with a disney villain aesthetic instead of the cliche pretty sexy thing everyone would probably expect. Make her bombastic and badass and terrifying!!! The pumpkaboo line is the closest thing so far cos bat pumpkin is KINDA close to daffodil owl. At least in terms of spooky aesthetic, lol
* oh and also her boyfriend was named gronw pebr and honestly he barely does anything in the whole story but he has a really cool name so i felt like mentioning it
* our national flower is the daffodil and our national vegetable is the leek so maybe a farfetch'd variation with a daffodil? Or maybe a saucepan or somethin. It could kinda work with farfetch'd origin, plus one of our most famous nursery rhymes is about saucepans. AR GATH WEDI SCRAPU GROOKEY BACH
* our national animal is actually the dragon not the sheep! So definately give us some good dragon types!! Our flag is a dragon so maybe our legendary could be that? And perhaps reference the whole "red dragon beats the white dragon symbolizing how much england sucks" legend by having it have two forms like minior or darmanitan and the weaker cowardly defensive one is england. Just sayin!!
* i dont think you can really make a pokemon personification of england conquering and literally owning us and us taking so long to even get considered a separate country again and be able to have our native language in schools except it was already so many generations passed of it being forbidden to be spoken that barely anyone still knew it and even nowadays when we have billingual road signs the rate of billingualism is incredibly low and im really jealous of my sister growing up in a school that taught it from a young age cos i was thrown into intermediate level welsh without having the basic lessons and thus nevee managed to learn it at all and felt both stupid and disconnected from my ancestors irretreiveably
* MAYBE A RUGBY POKEMON I DUNNO LOL

When Peeta Mellark fell asleep in his company’s meeting and woke up to find out that he’d say yes to moving to district 11 without knowing what he was saying yes to he thought to himself that it was fine, he taught about everything he was getting out of it: the company will load him a brand new mercedes! that was it. ok so it sucked , it sucked even more when he tried to tell his wife. she tired to be as supportive as a wife can be and he’ll  never forget those beautiful words she used when the gather everyone to tell them they  were moving “i have to go don´t i? cause of this stupid thing” and she pull up her wedding ring aaa his loving wife, but dammit he missed her like crazy. he should’ve told her to turn down that new job she landed but the project Abernathy gaver her at her biology lap was too good to past, looking around this office he kinda wishes he did thought.
“Ok everyone is really necessary, the name calling and the note on my back? you can all call me peeta by the way” he said as he sat down on his uncomfortable office chair, he received a collective grown as an answer , he glared at his team
“My son is in a play right now” his right hand Seeder says
“You people want me to say it? i’ll say it, this sucks! is it really quite shitty to be stuck in an office on Christmas alright but at least you all get to go to your families at the end of the day, i get to go to  a cold hotel room and a very questionable bed!” he cried almost winned, really but at this point he was over it of this dead end job as an accountant had everyone back home loved what they were doing first there was Finn his beast buud and actor who thanks to his good looks landed the lead in a soap opera that was a an instant hit, the there was Madge and Gale an odd pair who should be together if you asked him one a fashion executive at Gucci and the other a professor on environmental science ,finally there was Jo a masseuse by day and a fighter for human rights by night , what did he had?
“Now it feels like a holiday! and hey great pep talk!” the new girl chimes in, blue eyes full of laughter
“I know and i’m sorry, but hey! i know what’ll cheer ya up” he says pulling out the white eveloves he was handed earlies by her supervisor Mrs. Coin “you know a little bonus for all your hard work”
“ a donation was made in your name to the New York ballet” someone reads out loud
“Well that’s like money in your pocket” he says but  just barely fooling anyone
“i can’t wait! “ the same girl, GLimmer was it? says  “what would you be doing back home right now?” she asks
“ Oh well, our Christmases are pretty traditional just the usual ” he says and he’s brought back to one of his favorites christmases….
“so i wrote this song for some very special people in my life so… here we go “went  to the store and sat on Santa’s lap asked him to bring friends all kinds of crap he sias all you need one little song now you haven’t heard it so don’t try to sing along… no don’t sing along, finnick oh finnick have a happy christmas eve, saw santa Claus he wanted he wanted Peeta’s buns, please tell Gale this year will be real snowwyyy and Madge and Katniss i love you guys something”… thank you all, happy holly days!”  jo said as people on the coffeehouse applauded to her.
that was one of the few memories he’s made with thi bunch of people in over 7 years, Peeta makes his decision right them and there
“ You know what, go home everyone, be with  your families is bad enough that we’re working new years eve too.” Everyone gape up at Peeta anger clearly written on everyone’s face   “ Did i not tell anyone about new years? go. go home” His team didn’t need to be told twice, within the minute everyone was gone
“Oh your not gonna go?” Peeta asked Glimmer  “naaaah i can’t leave you alone with all this mess, besides i don’t have anywhere to go my family is upstate” he’s nodding his head when the office phone rings
“ Peeta Mellark speaking” he tell the line
“Hi babe, we just wanted to call  to wish you a merry christmas!” Katniss, his beautiful wife says to him and he hears a chorus of “merry christmas” from his friends as his heart swells at the gesture
“awe merry christmas to you guys too, i miss you all” Peeta returns the sentiment genuinely
“is it real bad over there? everyone working hard?” Katniss asks
“No everyone left is just me and Glimmer here” at her name Glimmer perks up waving at the phone as if she was greeting his wife.
“Oh, that is kind of a girls name, isn’t t?”  Katniss aks trying to sound casual but he knows her better that that
“ it is, but is ok she’s just the new intern dont worry, did i not told you about her?” Peeta asks and her hears a light “aja” from his wife and a “wrong move dude” form one of the guys, he sewars is Finn
“ Where’s your team?” she finally aks “I send them home” he admits to hi wife not wanting her to worry about this, is funny how she still has no idea the effect she has on him
“Such a good boss, is she pretty?” Katniss says and edge her voice
“Oh honey, don’t be angry  if i could i would be with you guys but i can’t besides she’s just a colleague” she reasures her “ there’s really nothing to worry about”
“ok” she says a little harsh
“ok?” he ask her going for just a second to that place where only the two of them go where even when they are apart is like he’s right with her, his voice soft and low
“ok” she breathes out  more gently this time and he smiles even jealous he is completely crazy about her “Merry Christmas love” is a whisper to her and she returns it
“Merry christmas you guys”  he says to to his friends and eternal trirt wheels and they say it back after promising Finn he’ll be back soon he hangs up, he turns back to Glimmer not wanting to make a big deal about what she just heard
“ The wife says hey” Peeta laughs at set the phone down on the desk
“ ha, been following the conversation” she says, setting down some documents
“Well she just thought that because we’re alone something’s gonna happen” he sheepishly admits
“ oh really?” Gimmer says reaching out to smooth his tie and he steps back “would that be so terrible so terrible?” sha asks seductably witch makes his so confused because he’s never thought of himself as sexy and in any case the only person he want to be saxy for a far awy not this blonde, blue eyed assistant that would just make it more of a cheesy pron that anything else
“ok step back there Glimmer, i am married” he says and Glimmer pulls up her hand “Me too” he rolls his eyes “ i’m HAPPILY married ” he clarifies to her “ oh, what’s that like” Glimmer asks  
“Yeah so i’m sorry nothing is gonna happen tonight besides me getting node with this papers” he says to he firmly
“ seriously, you’re happily married? so the phone call just now was happy?” she questions him
“Well we’re apart is hard you know? she is right to be a little worried i know i would be if i were her and in this case she’s right, but she’s amazing and smart and if she were her… well you’d be gone by now, you seem lovely but no i don’t need this what i have back home with K is all i need  ” Peeta tells her honestly
“let me ask you something then, if it’s enough, why are you here with me on a holy day?” Glommer says and she seems to be serious and he come up empty because truly … there is no one good reason he has to apart from her …
“ wowowowo what’s happening, you and i just made out? we’re making out” twenty four year old peeta asks twenty three year old katniss
“well not anymore” she says out just centimeters away from his lips as  her arms were around his neck her silky red dress against his pajamas making weaked things to his brains
that was the beginning of it at Gale’s wedding in London Katniss was upset because she was watching her brother get married for the first time with incidentally ended up in a divorce for Gale
the first time they fought when Jo broke her arm and Madge got them dated with some nurses
“well you made it clear that we’re just goofing around, so i figured why no goof around with him too” katniss said referring to an earlier comment he’d made
“ i don’t know if you’ve looked the term “goof around” but i have and it said that technically is two friends that care a great deal for one another and have amazing sex and like to be together” he cringed “ i am so bad at this“  
a smiling Katniss had told him that that was true, they did cared about each other and they spend the rest of that night together not quite ready to tell their friends about each other
“ Peeta you’re not listening to me!! i don’t care that we can’t afford a big wedding right now, the only thing that matters to me is that i’m getting married to the love of my life, big wedding or not.”  katniss argued but Peeta wanted to give her the perfect wedding day to her to treat her like a princess, a queen but at twenty six his job was unsteady, he found himself frustrated unable to meet this one expectation but she was right she never asked for anything  he couldn’t give her, ever.
“ but don’t you want a big beautiful wedding where our families can see you walked down a beautiful isle and your dad will give you away, Maddy as the flower girl?” he asked because that was his dream exactly to see Gale’s little one walk first with the floews and then, Prim Madge and Jo as maid or honor and the al last her, his bride in a white dress with her dad.
“i really don’t, i swear, i don’t my parents didn’t  have a big wedding and i want what they have. a home , a marriage” she said
“a little girl with your eyes” he whispered reaching out to cup her face stilling a soft kiss the smile that she gave him when he pulled out  was so bright it nearly blinded him
“ a little boy with your hair”
soon they were engaged and married the last 2 years of his life had been the best ones yet only to be topped with the news of their own little one on the way and here he was waistinging his life on this job and this Christmas as well so he walked out right out of there.
NEW YORK  (4 hours later)
he heard their voices as he approached the apartament , he was home finally stepping in he heard Jo first
“ oh look! is snowing you guys!” he says excitedly everyone was by the window when we cleared his throat they all looked back at him, on seconds his wife was on him kissing him firestly
“ woow we have a baby here people” Madge reminded them of hunter her and Gale’s son, they pulled away hos and resting on his own baby
“what happened, don’t  you have to be in district 11 ohio? can the fire you?” Katniss asked consent on her voice
“turns out they can’t because i quitted” he said katniss gasped
“ you quit your job?” Gale asked shooked
“yeah, i couldn’t stand being away from you and i know this is not the time but, i’ve bee planit to leave since we learned about the baby and i’ve already applied to other jobs, jobs i could be better at and plat just as well” he rescued her and her face relaxed “what do you think? i’m sorry i didn’t talk to you about this before but today was the last drop, plus , i missed you ” he kissed her knuckles but before she could talk Finn piped in
“but who did you missed the most?” he asked his trademarked Finnick Odiar smile on handsome face  
“Katniss” Peeta said without a moment’s hesitation
“yeah, that’s cool dude” Finn said playing cool then making faces as if to say “ i know you HAD to say that for Katniss’s sakes i you you missed me more”
“But really are you, ok with this?” he asked katniss once more
“i think you hated your job and if you can do something you like, support you” his wife said and she kissed him again
“Peet, i can’t tell you how happy i am that you’re back” Jo finally said and he was touched to hear that from her “thi is honestly the best christma gif i’ve been given, but now give me the real one” he laughed and kissed her cheek handig the white envelopes
“A donation was made in your name to the New York ballet” Gale read out loud “ how did ya know?” he said sarcastically
“ but wait i can’t return these” Madge winned
“I DON’T HAVE A JOB” Pee eclamed

Kind Anon : I gotta admit Andromeda is somewhat of a disappointment for me. It's not even the animations. With the patch I guess its kinda ok. It's the bad writing and not memorable characters. I fell in love with everyone on in ME 1 right away. It was love at first sight. The only characters I actually like are Drack and Kallo. That's so sad to me. I was rooting for Bioware to make it happen and make it happen good, but they just didn't. Am I the only one that feels something is majorly off? :(
Ah, no. If you go to any Facebook post made the BioWare or Mass Effect page, whether it’s related to Andromeda or not, you’ll see plenty of people who feel the way you do. Although probably with a lot more profanity and hostility. 
Honestly, I feel like enjoying it as much as I have is the minority opinion.
Spoilers below:
I had low expectations for Andromeda. I like the original trilogy well enough–I’d put ME2 in my top 10, maybe top 5 all-time favorite games–But there was a lot of cliched writing and straight use of bad sci-fi tropes and themes that always made it harder for me to turn off a critical eye towards the series. The fact that it always seemed like BW and/or EA was catering to a certain demographic that I am not a part of that made it even harder for me to unconditionally love. I did love my Shepard, I liked all my crews, and I like the overall progression of the story, but I liked a lot of that in spite of feeling like the trilogy wasn’t meant for me. 
I also knew that the open-world model in Inquisition was going to be the foundation for Andromeda’s exploration, and Inquisition is my least favorite Dragon Age game. Given how tedious Inquisition eventually felt and that the original trilogy only got a couple of PTs from me, I was expecting Andromeda to be a one-time playthrough and then I’d go back to obsessing over DA and eagerly awaiting DA4′s announcement.
Instead, Andromeda surprised me. 
I still feel a little like I did with the original trilogy; there is definitely problematic writing. Gil’s personal story and path to fatherhood is insensitive at best. The lack of romance options for mlm Ryders is appalling. The way straight characters turn down same sex Ryders is not the best. I think it’s been patched now, but the way they went about including a trans character lacked sensitivity and seemed void of any research about dead names. I know she’s not really dead, at least not yet, but I’m still kind of on the fence about how Ellen Ryder was handled.  
But on the whole, especially as a female player who plays female characters, I found it to be a much more pleasant experience. I didn’t have random NPCs hitting on my character or calling me condescending names based on my character’s gender. Female characters were on the whole reasonably dressed. There was no sexy robot body. The rampant sexualization of Asari was toned down a lot, and it was so lovely to see more female Turians, Krogans, and Salarians. Little things, like the note Lexi sends out about coping with stress and anxiety, make me feel like they were more aware of the diverse fanbase (to an extent: again, see shunning mlm romances.)
It usually takes me a couple of passes to get a full opinion on the main story, but on the whole, I don’t see Andromeda substantially better or worse than most BW games. It was hard for me to wrap my head around what it would be like to sleep for 600 years and wake up in a new galaxy; I think the writing in that regard often felt kind of shallow. There’s also some stuff that didn’t really feel resolved, like Jien Garson’s murder (I’m guessing we’ll get more answers in DLC, but that’s weak). BW also still needs to work out a better way to pace a story, especially one with urgency, if they’re going to keep doing the open-world format like this. 
But, I also think they did a much better job with big maps in Andromeda than in Inquisition. Some worlds still feel big just for the sake of being big (Elaaden), but the Nomad and a lot of companion banter made it far less sluggish to explore. I never found myself zoning out at any points of the main story, like I did with Inquisition (the ancient elves thing totally lost me, but that’s a post for another day). I also really liked how they organized the codex to easily reflect story progression and character development.
I liked Shepard as a protagonist, but the emphasis on the military aspect of her role always put me at a little distance. Ryder, on the other hand, is so relatable to me. And I love the Tempest crew. All of them. I have never loved a set of companions this much before. There’s usually one or two that I don’t really care for, but that’s not the case with Andromeda. Even characters I was kind of on the fence about, like Cora, grew on me in a way I did not anticipate at all. I got a little misty-eyed when I got the update that she valued my friendship and leadership.
Really the things that are affecting my personal enjoyment the most are the glitches, bad animations, and a weak CC. It feels very unpolished, and it’s just one more example of an AAA dev/pub team taking advantage of consumer’s interest by not being fully finished on release. I’m glad to see they’re actively listening to fans’ suggestions and criticisms, but a lot of this is shit that should have been addressed before it was launched. 
Anyway, I feel like my perspective on both iterations of the series is more at odds with the general reception of the game than yours. Talking with people outside of Tumblr, I almost get a sense of shame from anyone who has a more positive view on it. “You know, I don’t think it’s that bad? I think I actually… like… Andromeda?” 
It’s flawed but fun. I’d happily play another Mass Effect title in the same vein.
