I wrote this drabble like a hundred years ago for a friend. Just stumbled upon it on my old blog and felt like reposting!

Iron Bull and Dorian in the Modern!Verse (The Charger’s Bar)

They’re not even past the second aisle in the supermarket when it starts.

"What’s this?“ Iron Bull’s hand keeps reaching into the plastic basket slung on Dorian’s elbow, snatching things out as quickly as the younger man can put them in. Pavus just wants to read the ingredients on the new line of conditioners (all herbal, his perky little ass ) in peace, but he knows if he doesn’t answer, Bull will crowd him up against the display rack and get them kicked out of the store again. Sighing loudly, the mage turns to loft an eyebrow at his boyfriend.

"Bull, I know you can read. It’s the same toothpaste we always get.”

Bull makes a low, grumbling sound of displeasure. He’s directing his ire at the narrow tube of paste in his hand. “– No it isn’t. It’s citrus mint. What the fuck is citrus mint?”

"It’s the new flavor" Dorian shrugs, turning back around as if that explained everything.

Behind him, the Qunari grunts again, a sound in the negative. He tosses the tube back on the shelf and instead grabs a blocky rectangle to drop into the basket. “…This is better.”

Looking down, Pavus swallows a sound of horror. Oh Hell No. “Bull, that’s baking soda!”

"Yeah, and it works.“ Iron Bull replies, nonplussed by his lover’s theatrics.

"It’s disgusting! We use that to de-odorize the fridge!”

At this, Bull heaves a sigh loud enough to rival even Dorian’s broadcasted disgust. He begrudgingly pulls the baking soda (it is toothpaste, at least) from their basket and sets it back on the shelf. Dorian’s hand is creeping back towards the ‘new and improved citrus mint’ tube when the Qunari presents him with another brightly colored box.

"– Fine.“ Bull replies, sounding far too pleased to not be getting his way. ”…But if we’re gonna get a new flavor, we should get this.“

Dorian narrows his eyes, grabbing Bull’s wrist before he can drop his contribution into the basket. He lifts the Qunari’s hand and reads the label. ”…that’s– Bull, that’s bubblegum toothpaste. It’s for children!“

"Bet it tastes good, though.” Bull hums, his eyebrow doing that thing, “…Especially when I lick it off your tongue.”

And like usual, the Qunari’s vulgar word choice has a way of making Dorian falter mid-disgust, his neck heating up as he is (unwillingly!) tantalized by the thought. And Maker above, the thought of bubblegum flavored kisses should not be this arousing, what the fuck is wrong with him!?

The Iron Bull is smirking down at Dorian, his expression clearly stating he knows exactly what thoughts he’s put in the mage’s head. He wiggles the box at Pavus, and the younger man tries very hard not to notice that there are dragons on the front of it.

“……fine.” Dorian huffs at last, “But it goes under the sink. Andraste take me if Vivienne ever sees that in our bathroom.”

Laughing, Bull drops the toothpaste into the basket, leaning in to breathe warmly against the curve of Pavus’s throat. He rumbles, “you’re an excellent boyfriend, Kadan…”

Bull backs Dorian into the endcap of nasal strips while the younger man tries to scoff at such heavy handed compliments and fails. And of course they get kicked out of the supermarket anyway.

Not that either of them regret it.

Here's the pack of a beautiful Tauren (Tauren is a bull/cow species on the game, "World of Warcraft"). We have Shy/Flustered/Embarrassed, Flex, Greet, Blush/Kiss, and a special bonus 5th that is a lewd "moaning" emoji. These came out pretty good, the process was quite interesting as I had to recolor, add some extra details, and refine some of the original sketches for this pack of emojis. Thank you for supporting me!

Part 9 Trolls Headcanons/ Theories/ Thoughts/ Ideas

Part1 Part2 Part3 Part4 Part5 Part6 Part7 Part8 Part10

Trolls - Hard Candy = Hard Drugs 🍭

Boom - Floyd's solo music helped Boom when he was coming out. 🏳️‍🌈

Floyd - high pain tolerance and godlike levels of patience.

Floyd - has been to rehab for hard candy, is currently 10 years sober. Now advocates for health and wellness in Pop Village.

Floyd - Broke up with several ex's when he found they were all only using him for his fame. 💔

Bruce - can and will reorganize someone else's kitchen to what he deems is more efficient.

Bruce - always the first to volunteer to babysit other Troll's kids. Not that he doesn't appreciate his own children, he just loves being about to dote on kids he can actually hold on his hip and carry in his hair. Just being able to do the little Troll things he can't do with his own giant kids.

Bruce - noone on the island knew about his 'past life' except for Brandy. (Canon?)

Clay - had to quit being the Fun Boy cold turkey so that the Putt Putt Trolls would trust in his leadership.

Clay - I imagine a running gag that random Trolls keep calling him Viva's boyfriend/husband, and he keeps trying to correct them, but he is always cut off or they immediately forget. At some point a random Troll is like "What, is Viva not good enough for you?" And he is so exhausted from fighting it, he just gives up and rolls with it.

Clay - will stay up to sunrise reading 'just one more chapter'

John Dory - when doing outdoor work, his brothers silently bet how long it takes before JD is unnecessarily shirtless.

John Dory - ends up helping with raising and handling the critters kept in the village. E.g rearing orphaned Cuddle Pups, shearing the Puffalos, breaking in the Adorabulls, taming wild flyer bugs.

John Dory - when living on his own, he would only come back to civilization just before the start of winter when it would be harder to forage and hunt food. He would spend a week or so stocking up on supplies, interact with the locals, then disappear again.

Rhonda - really likes rolling around in mud, especially after she's just been cleaned. JD > 😑

Random One - the medals that I designed for Clay and Viva's knighthood are supposed to be designed after the Troll Tree.

Hello it’s been awhile! ^^ Can I request Yashiro, Kou, and Mitsuba(alive) with a rich s/o who just loves to spoil them to death. Like giving them with so many gift and take them out to random places that are expensive?

(Take your time and have a nice day💖)

a/n: HELLOOOOOO!! it has been a while! IM SO SORRY IM DOING REQUESTS THIS LATE I JUST NOW HAD MOTIVATION 😭😭😭 school is rotting me to tha core 🧟‍♀️ ANYWAYSS ONTO THE HEADCANONZ!

warnings: cute stuff :3

Yashiro 🐠, Kou 🍽️, and Mitsuba (alive) 📸 with their rich s/o:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yashiro 🐠:

"oh, you didn't have to!"

dawg this girl is HEAD OVER HEELS for typa stuff

like... you attractive, go romantic things like taking her out on dates n such, and spoil her?!? who are you bro cmon now

at first she was a lil hesitant n nervous to accept these luxuries from her s/o but she was soon accustomed to it 🤭

she finds it soooooo sweet and charming, it's a nice way to tell her you love her!

i can tell that she absolutely geeked out sm when you took her out on her first expensive, fancy date

scratch that, her actual real first date where she doesn't do all tha work 😭😭😭

(real tho)

she will try anything and everything to pay you back, even if she never truly will in her eyes

the fact you're so attentive to details too when doing your gift giving just baffles her and sends her right back to la la land

"i saw these earrings that matched your favorite brooch, they're not as big and fancy as the other ones i've given you but-"

"MARRY ME."

overall she thinks that your love language of gift giving is very sweet, but nothing can top your love for her awwwww

Kou 🍽️:

"for me?!"

oh it's a competition for this boy

we all know our young lil exorcist comes from money

he loves your gift giving! he saves every gift you give him, they remind him of you 🤗

he'll even save the receipts from expensive dates and pin em to a board or take pictures of them and save them in an album on his phone

he has to pay you back somehow!

kou is determined to make you feel just as spoiled and gifted as he is

he fights offers to pay for meals, gets you jewelry, buys you new makeup/hair products when he knows you ran out, overall homeboy is a sucker for getting you back unknowingly you're gonna get him back in a bigger and better way

bro is blushING whenever you take him out ona cute cheesy date

you'd def take a picture of him and he's in the most awkward, goofy agh pose but it's so cute ugh he's adorabul 😓😓😓😓

like HE LOOKS SO TENSE BUT HES SMILING SO NERVOUSLY N HIS FANGS RGAGAGAGAGH

mb got carried away but yes this boy is a ray of sunshine take him out more spoil him to death

Mitsuba 📸:

"of course you'd spoil a cute guy like me!"

i don't know much about alive! mitsuba, but i do have a grasp that he isn't as cocky and is actually kinder

of course i feel like he'd show his true colors when he gets more comfortable with you further down the relationship LAMAOOA

dawg is so flustered n genuinely cheesing when he accepts one of the many expensive gifts from you

"FOR MEEEE?!!!!"

as yall get more comfortable with each other, he starts getting more snarky with his comments and reactions 💀

like like liekeoiek

"these hair clips are cute, but they'll never be as cute as me! obviously you'd wanna see me wear these so you can photograph me and save it for later!"

deep down he really admires the thought and effort you put into these gifts n spoiling him

blud was so nervous on his first fancy date LAMOOOO

he did NOT know what to do, bro couldn't even pronounce the dishes on the menu 😭😭😭

help him sound them out please

he'll try to make an attempt to give you back but horribly fails, at least he'll always have pictures of you at those dates to save

HOPE YOU ENJOY!

-ooga :D

Fate and Phantasms #273: Mandricardo

Today on Fate and Phantasms we are (hopefully) building Astolfo’s greatest nemesis… er, their greatest nemesis in Fate as of writing. With the exception of Semiramis and Amakusa, of course. The point is we’re making Mandricardo, King of the Tartars. Somehow, this is the build that broke tumblr’s post system. It’s just that cool.

He’s a Cavalier Fighter to make himself the center of attention, and a Hexblade Warlock to pick up Hektor’s gear, and to make a wooden sword a decent replacement in the meantime.

Check out his build breakdown below the cut, or his character sheet over here!

Next up: Adorabull.

Race and Background

Mandricardo is a Human, of course, but there’s some stuff we can’t get from your classes, so we’re turning to the dragonmarks yet again. With your Mark of Handling, you get +2 Constitution and +1 Strength, as well as Wild Intuition, with which you can add 1d4 to all Animal Handling and Nature checks. You also gain a Primal Connection to animals, letting you cast Animal Friendship and Speak with Animals once per short rest each using your wisdom, and at third level The Bigger They Are the more there is to love, since you can target monstrosities with those spells if they’re intelligence is 3 or lower. Thanks to Brigliadoro’s Neigh, you can ride just about anything if it’s C rank or lower. Don’t worry though, we’ll get plenty of ways to make that even better later on. Consider it an apology gift for not being able to translate his second skill over. You also get an extended spell list, though since we don’t use that many we’ll just bring them up when you do. The full list is still in the character sheet if you’re curious, though.

Also, no surprises here, Nobles get proficiency with History and Persuasion.

Oh, also, Mandricardo did get the Hephaestus Klironomia, so we’re getting Purphoros’ Piety bonuses again. He might not be as impulsive as Orion, but I’m sure you two can bond over your mutual appreciation for a good sword. Piety levels up as you do things the god of your choice likes, while it decreases if you do things they don’t, usually around a rate of 1 point per session. At 3+, You can cast Shield of Faith once a day for extra AC, and use Mending to keep Hektor’s armor in peak condition. At 10+, you can Heat Metal once a day, and have advantage against being knocked prone while standing. Considering getting knocked prone would also knock you off your horse, it’s a good idea to prevent that. At 25+, you can use your reaction to prevent being moved, and at 50+ you can increase your Strength or Intelligence by 2- the former’s a better choice, but it is one you can make.

Ability Scores

Mandricardo’s Strength should be pretty high- you can wield a wooden sword about as good as a normal one, which means you’ve got one hell of a swing. After that is Constitution. Klironomia is one hell of a drug. Your Charisma is next. Self-deprecation is a turn off, but we need it here if you want to get Hektor’s armor in the first place. Your Wisdom is above average, that’s where you keep the animal handling, after all. This means your Intelligence is middling. I don’t think he’s stupid, but he has been known to make poor decisions from time to time. Finally, we’re dumping Dexterity. You wear heavy armor, so we just don’t need it.

Class Levels

Fighter 1: Kicking things off as a fighter gives you proficiency with Strength and Constitution saves, as well as Athletics to stay on your horse and Insight. You’ve probably been to a ton of pawn shops by now, I’m sure you know how to tell when someone’s bullshitting you. As for your actual features, your Fighting Style is Thrown Weapon Fighting- your wooden sword is versatile, so no one fighting style would help, and you like to open up a combo by throwing your sword at people- now you can do that without spending your whole turn on that. You also get a Second Wind once a short rest, healing yourself up as a bonus action. You don’t give up easily, unless you use your second skill.

Fighter 2: A fighter’s second skill though? Bonkers. Your Action Surge lets you tack on a second action to your turn once a short rest. Simple, yet effective.

Fighter 3: Third level fighters get their martial specialty, and a Cavalier might not just be about riding horses, but it is good at that. In fact, you’re proficient in Animal Handling now, and you’re even Born to the Saddle. You have advantage on saves against falling off a mount, and if you fall 10’ or less from them you can land on your feet. Also, mounting and dismounting only costs 5’ of movement. For the not-horse part, you can put an Unwavering Mark on a creature when you hit them with a melee attack. For the next round, they get disadvantage against attacking creatures who aren’t you, and if they do anyway you can use your bonus action to make an attack against them that deals extra damage. It’s only gonna be +2 by the end of this, but damage is damage. You can mark creatures as often as you want, but you only get three bonus attacks a day.

Fighter 4: fourth level fighters get you your first ability score improvement! pick up the mounted combatant feat for even more horsey goodness. you get advantage on all melee attacks against creatures smaller than whatever you’re mounting, and you can redirect attacks from your mount to you. finally, your mount also gets evasion- successful dexterity saves prevent all the damage from hitting them! horses aren’t that tough, so you gotta be careful if you take one into a fight against a dragon.

Warlock 1: well, that’s enough of that. level 5 is a good time to start handing out the magical items, and picking up hektor’s armor will set you down the path of the hexblade. you can bestow a hexblade’s curse once a short rest for a minute, giving you bonus damage, an expanded critical hit range, and you regain health when the creature dies. you also become a hex warrior, which lets you use charisma instead of strength when using a specific weapon. keep using your strength for now tho, that’s way better. plus, you get pact magic, a couple spell slots that come back on short rests that you cast with using your charisma. you swore against using a sword, but a sword burst is still pretty neat. you can also use true strike, if you want to waste a turn. you also pick up shield and armor of agathys for hektor’s actual armor. if you threw your shield away, this spell’s a good pickup.

Warlock 2: second level warlocks get eldritch invocations, lil goodybags from your patron to power you up. save one for next level, but pick up eldritch mind now for advantage on concentration saves. we’re gonna pick up spells for riding later, and trust me, you don’t want a tarrasque bucking you off mid-fight. speaking of spells, pick up animal friendship again for more castings and, eventually, stronger versions of it too.

Warlock 3: Third level warlocks get their pact boon, and lets be real we all know we’re getting a pact weapon with the improved pact weapon invocation. you can summon any kind of weapon you want, so wooden swords are 100% on the table. plus, you can cast spells through the sword, you get +1 to all attacks n damage, and your hexblade’s curse always applies! if you ever get your hand on durindal, you can also turn it or another magic weapon into your pact weapon over a short rest. also you get second level spells like branding smite. light up your sword, light up your enemies, simple stuff.

warlock 4: use this asi to round out your charisma with skill expert! you get proficiency in acrobatics, and doubled proficiency in animal handling. im not sure which one standing on a horse counts as, but now you’re set either way! pick up booming blade for more ways to turn a stick into a weapon of mass destruction, and enthrall to make yourself the center of attention. hektor’s armor gives you “false charisma”. we’re not sure how that’s different from real charisma, but now you’ll be popular.

warlock 5: fifth level warlocks get third level spells like fear. if enthrall is persuasion, fear is intimidation. you also get the thirsting blade invocation so you can finally attack twice an action!

warlock 6: sixth level hexlocks can create an Accursed Specter once a day when they kill a humanoid. obviously this is pretty out of character for Mandricardo, but it’s not like it’s costing you anything to use, right? you can also Incite Greed, the same spell that probably kicked off your whole misadventure.

warlock 7: with the advent of your fourth level spells, you can stop asking politely for rides and just Dominate Beast instead. if said beast fails a wisdom save and keeps failing every time it takes damage, you can have absolute control over it for up to a minute. there’s not a lot of traveling you can do in a minute, but it’s great for calming a horse down, at least. You can also turn those spell slots into Eldritch Smites, adding a lot of force damage to a hit and knocking the target prone if they’re huge or smaller. remember how you get advantage on attacks against creatures smaller than your mount? this is why that’s great.

warlock 8: If you really want to use spells and weapons at the same time, we’ll have to use this ASI to stop by the War Caster feat first. the first and third clauses are certainly there, but we’re here for the second: now you can cast somatic spells while your hands are all full of murder tools, like god intended. if your DM’s cool or too inexperienced to notice that’s a rule, just bump up your charisma instead. also, pick up Staggering Smite for another hard knock to the noggin. it deals extra psychic damage, and forces a wisdom save against whoever you’re targeting. if they fail, they have disadvantage on attacks and checks and can’t take any reactions until the end of its next turn. wood isn’t exactly sharp, but dear god can you whallop with that thing.

warlock 9: ninth level warlocks get fifth level spells, or at least you would if I wanted any. instead, go back and pick up Conjure Animals so you can always have at least one horse on standby. you’ll actually have eight now, but who’s counting? I am. for this level’s invocation, Relentless Hex will make you a relentless foe, for all of the 30 Cantos you appear in. now you can spend your bonus action to teleport 30’ into melee range of hexblade’s curse target if you can see them.

warlock 10: tenth level hexlocks finally get the armor you were supposed to get at the start, an Armor of Hexes. Whenever you’d get hit by an attack from your cursed target, you can react to roll a d6, giving you a 50/50 chance of the attack missing entirely. if that thing could keep Hektor alive for most of the Trojan War, I’m sure it’ll help you out. you also get one last cantrip, and friends is the best fake charisma in the business, giving you advantage on charisma saves against a target for a minute, after which they’ll know you magicked their brain.

warlock 11: Eleventh level warlocks don’t get sixth level spells, instead they get a sixth level Mystic Arcanum. Instead of increasing their spell slots further, they can cast a single sixth level spell once a day. To further Mandricardo’s Klironomia usage, we suggest Investiture of Stone, a spell that lasts for ten minutes and gives you yet another set of armor. For the duration, you have resistance to nonmagical slashing, bludgeoning, and piercing, can move through difficult terrain and solid objects without spending movement if it is made of stone or earth, and you can create small earthquakes that force creatures to be knocked prone if they fail a dexterity save. Personally most of those don’t sound in-character, but it was the closest we could get in a sixth level spell- Mystic Arcanum can’t be used to upcast lower level spells, and you can’t learn a lower level spell instead of a sixth level spell.

Warlock 12: Twelfth level warlocks get another ASI, so take this opportunity to boost your Charisma for stronger spells. You also gain stronger sword strikes thanks to the Lifedrinker invocation, adding your charisma modifier to your damage as necrotic damage.

Warlock 13: Thirteenth level warlocks get a seventh level Mystic Arcanum, though for once we are at a loss for choice. None of the possible spells at seventh level are particularly necessary or wanted for this build, so feel free to take your pick while playing. If you even reach level 17 in a home game, you’ve earned it.

Warlock 14: A fourteenth level hexblade warlock is a Master of Hexes, allowing you to change targets on your Hexblade’s Curse after you kill the first, though you give up the healing you would normally receive from killing your target. Durindal is a powerful sword against any enemy, not just one per rest.

Warlock 15: At fifteenth level, we receive the Mystic Arcanum we’ve been waiting for this entire time: Dominate Monster. Like Dominate Beast, it forces a wisdom save on a creature, which if failed gives you direct control over them until the spell ends or they pass another save after taking damage. Unlike the previous spell it lasts an hour, and has no typing limitations. Now demonic beasts truly are yours to command! You can see why we don’t include the riding skill in these builds more often, a 15 level dip is nothing to sneeze at. We also gain one last invocation, and once again there is nothing we’d want to make this build complete. Nothing official, anyway. If your DM is willing, you can use Unearthed Arcana to create the Ultimate Pact Weapon- it has the same benefits of an improved pact weapon, but it grants you a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls instead of a +1 bonus.

Warlock 16: We are still staying in this class for our final level for one last ASI, to bring up your Charisma even further. Now that we rely on this ability for spells and swords alike, improving it should be our top priority in what little time we have left.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Mandricardo is a rather unusual gish: since we are strong enough to use heavy armor, we have much more innate defense than the typical spellsword. Adding in Purphoros’ Piety rewards and defensive spells is simply overkill, personally.

Having a solid defense does not mean he lacks in offense, however. With a spell smite, Booming Blade, and Eldritch Smite, we have all the ingredients needed to perform the legendary triple smite. Burst damage aside, Mandricardio is still a force to be reckoned with thanks to his +11 modifier to damage with his pact weapon. At that point you really could be using a training sword as effectively as the legendary Durindana.

Mandricardo also comes with a great deal of command over animals and monstrosities, both through dominating spells and heavily enhanced skill checks. Every single animal handling check he makes is a d20+1d4+13, which is impressive even if you don’t have mind control to fall back on.

Cons:

That triple smite we mentioned earlier comes with a major caveat: it destroys almost all of your limited spell slots for an encounter. With only 3 to spare by the end of the build, you’ll have to be careful when going all out, or you might just end up dead in the water.

This build also takes time to come up to speed thanks to when we multiclassed. You don’t get a second attack until level 9, twice as long as a regular fighter. We also spend all of our ASIs on feats until level 16, so you may feel underpowered compared to your allies.

Control over two categories of creature may sound powerful, but it’s also conditional. Urbanized areas will have few, if any, creatures you can leverage. Maybe it’s a good thing you didn’t make it to Olympus.
