Hello, could you do the"reader who wears skirts and thigh higs" with the crescent city Boys? 🥺💗

CC Boys Reacting to you in a skirt and thigh highs 👀

A/n: I can’t believe I didn’t think of them immediately after I wrote the batboys one

Warnings: some smutty thoughts hehehe

Ruhn

You’d be dressed up in your cute lil outfit for a party

when you come downstairs Ruhn is shook. He cannot take his eyes off you

He’s constantly winking at you while he’s playing games with the boys

And when he finally dances with you, you tease the shit out of him

When has enough Ruhn pulls you upstairs and sits you on his face

Flynn

It would be the same situation as with Ruhn

You’d show up to the house with intention of teasing him all night until he snapped

You exaggerate your hip movements and are super touchy with him but pull away at the last second

When Flynn finally snaps it’s when you hand him a drink while he’s sitting on the couch

You straddle him and he just hands the drink to Dec and takes you to his bedroom

Hunt

Hunt would be sitting on the couch watching a Sunball game waiting for you to be ready for date night

When you stand in front of the TV Hunt finally notices you and his eyes look like they’re about to fall out of his head

“Do I look good?” And you do a lil spin for him. You know you look good you just like being cute with him

All through dinner and dessert he can’t focus bc you’re playfully kicking his feet under the table

When he flys you home he flys fast and practically breaks down the apartment door

You two don’t make it to the bed and he just takes you on the couch

Tharion

Tharion calls Bryce legs so we all know he’s obsessed with your legs

You’re just in something casual nothing too fancy for the middle of the day when you meet him by the Istros

As you walk and lounge in the sun Tharion can’t keep his eyes off you

He eventually pulls you onto his lap rubbing his hand up and down your thigh as you lightly kiss his neck

Ithan

I think Ithan would show the most self restraint

He’d pretend that you weren’t distracting him at all. Nope not one bit.

Then Ithan would see you doing something so normal like just talking with your friend and you look so perfect and happy

And he just takes you and comes up behind you, wrapping his arms around you kissing your neck, holding you close to him

I'm a third through the book and wanted to get some thoughts down

Info dump after info dump. I am curious how much of this actually even matters to what is coming, or to acotar5. Obviously getting confirmation that the dagsteri (my new word for the Asteri/Daglan) created the Illyrians was neat, but some of this stuff we kinda knew?

Like the Cauldron being "corrupted". We knew that, back in acomaf. We didn't know by whom or why, but... we knew, and kept seeing that in action for two books.

That whole section didn't feel like a revelation, so much as a confirmation of stuff we knew. And if the whole point was for Bryce just to have gotten Truthteller to pair with the Starsword, then... feels like sjm could easily have created a super secret new weapon in Midgard for her to have used. Also! Her getting that pure light from Theia. Like Bryce was not OP enough??? This is what happens when everyone is the most beautiful and strong and powerful ever, you get to just keep raising the stakes and no one is ever Too Much, I guess.

Nice of sjm to go back to her random weapons that she pulled out of her butt in acosf and make them somewhat meaningful. I'm sure that Truthteller was always meant to have significance, but the Trove? I guess that I appreciate that sjm is making an effort for them to not be a real "somehow, Palpatine has returned" moment.

I'm already dreading all of the "asldkajlsdjad sjm is such a genius!!!" posts. No, she did what authors normally do and think ahead. Rereading acosf this past weekend really confirmed that for me; for once, she was planning ahead in acosf, and... whether people still think that took away from Nesta's story is another issue altogether. But it's super easy for her to go back and say "this was important all along!!!!!" when no. We can tell.

I think the one thing that she added, that is really intriguing, is the way that people react differently around Made objects. I still don't get why there are differences, considering that tons of people in Prythian are Starborn. The logistics are fuzzy but it feels like she could randomly point to any fae character (save Illyrians, and no one who was born human) and call them Starborn.

Also Sigrid - what the fuck? tbh I am heavily skimming the parts with all the men in Midgard, but I did catch that.

I'm literally just word vomiting here, but I might have something more coherent later. I really would have given up on this series if the crossover hadn't happened, but I'll try to not talk about things that annoy me :) Yet. :)

poisoned ivy vampire au- either nate or bryce is a secret vampire, your pick :)

masterlist

tw vampire whumper, school setting, manipulation, gaslighting

Nate felt like he was going insane. How else would anyone explain the fact that he thought most-popular-guy Bryce Donnelley was... a vampire?

It made no sense. Bryce was clearly not very affected by sunlight, as evidenced by the fact that he attended a normal college. Well, they did have a lot of cloudy days... but Bryce was out and about even on the sunny ones, right? Sort of. He did cover up more than his 'frat bros', something that was a topic of constant lamentation among the women. But he wasn't burning. 'I get sunburnt super easily,' he'd overheard him say once.

Bryce also didn't have anything going on with his eyes. Vampires were supposed to have glowy red eyes, right? Well, his were a dark brown, as human as it could get. Normally. Sometimes, when the light hit him just right, Nate swore he could see a hint of red in them, but it always passed as quickly as it showed up.

He wasn't very proud of this one, but he had even gotten some garlic bread one time just to offer some to Bryce. He'd smiled and said he was allergic, not to mention his date with Cindy later that day. It would've been a gotcha moment– if only Bryce had kept it up.

"I'm joking, I'm joking. Thought I'd lean into the vampire thing." He grabbed one and took a bite, laughing when Nate's eyes widened. "What, don't tell me you believe that too? Is that why you thought to bring me some?"

It was embarrassing. Mortifying. Bryce made him feel like a stupid teenage girl. But there was something there, he knew it, he just had to dig a little deeper.

When they were put together as a pair for a class project, Nate thought it was the perfect opportunity to see whether Bryce could enter his dorm without an invitation. He purposely danced around the subject, all the way until they got there.

"Nice of you to invite me over. My room is a bit of a mess."

"I never invited you!" he said a bit too quickly, and Bryce feigned confusion. "I, I mean– I never invited you in– I mean..."

"I thought that was the entire reason you brought me here?"

"I... y-yeah, I just meant..."

"If you don't want me to come in, I get that–"

"No, no, come in, I'm sorry– wait–"

Bryce grinned at him, stepping over the threshold with ease. "Thanks."

Nate wanted to pull his hair out. He even dug up his old crucifix, the one he'd received as a gift from his grandmother, and then accidentally dropped it in a way so that it touched Bryce's skin. Bryce hissed in pain and pulled away– then laughed at Nate's reaction and told him it was just a joke. He'd grabbed the crucifix to hand it back to him to prove it.

There was never any conclusive evidence. Nothing to latch onto. But he just couldn't leave it alone.

He devised a plan that some might call obsessive, or even stalkerish. He was going to follow Bryce around for a whole day, make sure he didn't drink anyone's blood (he was normal, he swore, this was a totally normal thing to think about his peers), then slightly nick his finger and see how Bryce reacted. If this didn't bring any results, he would stop for good.

The day passed agonisingly slowly. He tried not to look too creepy, nor too startled whenever Bryce looked at him and they locked eyes. Bryce knew what he was after, probably, and he looked very smug about having Nate so hooked. But he didn't know about the plan. He couldn't.

Bryce ate only solids the whole day. Sandwiches, the cafeteria food, chocolate. No blood.

"Do you want to work on the project tonight?" he asked after Bryce's last class, and he could've exploded when he responded with an easy 'yeah, sure'. He was supposed to be a little agitated by now. Restless. It had been a long day, and now Nate was proposing they spend several more hours together. But Bryce never ever wavered.

It was well past midnight when they finished up. Bryce yawned, hand in front of his mouth either because he was very polite or because he was hiding a set of fangs. Nate didn't even care anymore which one it was, he just wanted to know for sure.

"I'm gonna get back to my room," Bryce said with a smile. "See you tomorrow?"

"Sure."

As soon as Bryce turned to leave, he cut his finger with a blade he had wrestled out of his pencil sharpener. Blood bubbled to the surface instantly, and a split second later he was slammed against the wall of his room, staring up into Bryce's bright red eyes.

"Holy shit," he breathed, just now realising that goading a vampire into attacking him wasn't the best plan of action. Truth be told, he didn't think he'd get this far.

Bryce blinked a couple times, and his eyes went right back to normal. "Oh. I can't play that off as a joke, can I?"

"You're a vampire."

"Yeah."

Nate swallowed hard, suddenly very unsure of what to say. "Are you going to hurt me?"

"I should, shouldn't I? You found out about it after all. I can't be sure you won't tell everyone."

"Nobody would believe me!" he said hastily. "I– I just needed to know. I won't tell. I won't tell anyone. Please."

"And then there's the fact that you starved me alllll fucking day. I'm pretty hungry, you know."

"Please don't hurt me," he whimpered.

"Oh, it won't hurt."

Nate yelped when Bryce yanked his head to the side, clearly having made up his mind. His heart was pounding, and he distantly wondered whether that'd make it quicker. Higher pulse, faster bloodflow, less time with fangs in his neck–

His mind went blank when Bryce bit down. It was a strange, fuzzy feeling. He didn't feel anxious about it anymore. In fact, it was almost... pleasant. Natural. Right. He was grateful that Bryce was holding him up, because he was sure his knees would've buckled underneath him otherwise.

"You taste nice," he whispered after he was done, and Nate hummed in acknowledgment. He tasted nice... "And you obviously react very well to the venom, hm?" He pulled back and gently knocked on his head. "Anything left in there?"

Nate couldn't find the words to react. He just stared up at him through half-lidded eyes, noting that the blood on his lips must've been his own.

"I was in need of a permanent meal, and I had no idea who to even target... But I guess you just solved that issue, Detective Fane."

What do you think of Azriel and Elain as individuals and as couples ? Do you think they'll be more like Feysand or Nessian in terms of how well the story is written

Genuinely hoping that their story will be their own. Unlike other ACOTAR or other series stories. The only thing I do think will happen is that Elriel will be more like Feysand and Chaol/Yrene and Elorcan in that it would be more of a couple story.

I know people really want an Elain story, but i feel like if it's just an FMC-centric book, then SJM cannot write a soft, normal woman.

I feel like SJM's books are divided into two camps: your Aelins, Bryces, Nestas, Manons -- all girl bosses, whose romances are secondary and it's all about THEM.

Then you have Feyre and Rhys, Lorcan and Elide, Chaol and Yrene, to some extent Lidia and Ruhn, where it's more couple driven storytelling.

Personally, I prefer the couples. Because to me, the stories are more emotional, robust, and overall interesting. When you start piling on more and more and MORE super powers on these FMCs (Aelin, Bryce, Nesta) I don't know, but I become disengaged. I call it the 'Poppy Balfour Syndrome'--what started as a normal sort of girl, turned into some monstrous thing that's a goddess or some crap, and I just feel they all jump the shark at some point.

i liked Elide BECAUSE she was human and weak and she bled and fought in a way that I can relate to.

I liked Feyre for the same reason--she was human and frail and made stupid decisions and was relatable.

SJM can't seem to write a non-fighting FMCs if it's just them. If she pairs them with a LI, they seem more balanced and realistic.

So I don't want Elain to become a Bryce or a Manon. I want Elain to remain Elain. And if it has to be in conjunction with Azriel, then so be it, because to me, it's worth it.

how open were Eleanor and Tristan with their magic at Castle Cousland? I think you said pretty much everyone knows, but in that case how did they arrive at that level of trust ?

not open to the point of foolishness. the staff knowing is part of that secrecy, i think; everyone in important positions has been kept on since tristan’s childhood, to maintain that loyalty and insularity. it’s a weird kind of open secret. it’s like... if you’ve seen house of the dragon, it’s like how everyone knows rhaenyra’s sons are bastards, just by looking at them, but if anyone says it that person has to face savage consequences because it’s the saying of it that threatens everything.

the mac eanraigs have always been rumoured to have magery in their blood, and eleanor as the sea wolf used her magic as a storm witch archetype sinking orlesian ships. people know that or suspect it, they just don’t say it. especially not after she married a political titan like the young reigning cousland who could have been king. (though i doubt he could have been king and faced that scrutiny with such a wife, which is super interesting, as a choice bryce made that might affect his very public very firm loyalty to cailan, and tristan’s opinions on the succession.) as for tristan, it’s hard to hide a young mage, they’re explosive, and young noblemen have so much contact and so many teachers. that secret could not be contained. the couslands are relying on what’s obviously the incredibly strong culture of local loyalty that they especially foster among their servants

nan, brother aldous, mother mallol, ser gilmore—they all know tristan is a mage. i think they also draw a distinction between their teyrna and young lord and those Other Terrible Mages. mother mallol in particular i think is doing some truly incredible theological acrobatics to have raised this one, but since she belongs to the couslands’ private chapel and would have been personally selected by them, i would love to get into regional variants in fereldan andrastianism especially in terms of ferelden being relatively pro-mage. i mean, i could totally see them keeping an andraste-was-a-mage style heretic on the payroll to suit their interests, and that would fucking rule. the couslands and mac eanraigs being ancient fereldan families who are perfectly good andrastians i’m sure but also might keep to some of their old ways and traditions is also very, very fun. i’m interested in the, i assume alamarri, styling of the story told by nan: when our fathers’ fathers came down from the mountains... maintaining those traditions and hiring from among those shared belief would again make it much easier to maintain insularity against any threat from the orlesian chantry, even easier than it would be considering the fereldan mistrust of the outsider and the well-earned hatred of the orlesian interloper in our business

with eleanor, i use her lines about abandoning her shieldmaiden era for the “softer arts” to interpret her as being very glad to abandon her magic. eleanor keeps her skills sharp in extreme privacy but otherwise uses it as little as possible, and if it wasn’t for tristan she’d be able to maintain her fantasy of normality almost completely

tristan himself was trained as a warrior alongside his brother, in order to maintain visuals, and also because i’m not sure bryce would know what the hell else to do with him lmao. he carries a sword in the castle, but does own a stave, which is kept in his chambers for use in study. (rigid training is still demanded to protect himself in the fade, eleanor’s not stupid.) he might be willing to do spells behind closed doors; he fired a few at the rats in the larder, for example, because it was just gilmore and they’d shut the door to the kitchen and nobody minds spells when it keeps you from getting bitten by giant rats. he’s not going to be stupid about it, but he’s not worried about it day to day either. at the same time, pre-joining tristan is a bored tiger in too small a cage with magic roiling up inside of his chest who thinks he will never get to use it and takes whatever little opportunity he can get

howe would know, i think, which is fascinating, by the by

#tristan cousland #the mechanics of this are soooo fun to work through

aftertaste

a fanfiction written in 2022. ao3 link here. under the cut for those who wish to read it here.

“So. It’s over then?”

Weasel Kid was the first to speak up, after the barkeep had choked out Lionel Snill. It seemed his words brought a moment of relief to those in the room, a sigh filling the air, the once tense fog now not so unwelcoming. “He’s dead. Lionel’s gone.” Weasel Kid looked around the room at the assortment of characters he found himself with.

The bartender leaned back in that uncomfortable-looking wooden wheelchair of his, Jeremiah perched on its back rest, claws digging in. “I suppose,” the old man muttered. “It’s time for a proper introduction.” He looked tired, despite it all. Despite it all, Weasel Kid repeated to himself. Didn’t anyone else feel the adrenaline?

“My name is Reginald. Though, usually, I’m called Rootbeer Reggie,” he said. He gestured behind him, towards Jeremiah. “Jeremiah and I, we were from Lionel’s first game. His first game that he chose to abandon and delete, in favor of having Super Weasel Kid look good.”

It felt like all of the bar’s patrons had their eyes rest on Weasel Kid in that moment, and he felt a small sense of dread from the possible judgment in their eyes. “‘ This game was built on the ashes of another ,’” Weasel Kid said quietly, reciting words that lived in the back of his head that he couldn’t pinpoint why they had such a hold of.. “ ‘The vengeance of Reginald…’ I should have known. But it’s been years, I wouldn’t have-”

“All of us have been wronged by Lionel,” Reggie said. “And you all knew what would happen.”

There was another cold silence. Chandrelle stole a glance at Lazarus, who was intently looking at Jeremiah with unease. FPP looked to be more at peace, based on his body language. It wasn’t as if they could speak, but Weasel Kid couldn’t imagine something somber coming from them. Bryce’s gaze lowered. Rust was staring at The Artifact.

Weasel Kid felt their fur spiking up. Why was he having second thoughts about this? He agreed. He agreed and he watched and he knew. He bit back impulsive words resting on his tongue. “I still don’t even have a room here, man,” he said, hoping no one caught the waver in his voice. “And now it’s early morning, we’ve been awake for hours. Where the hell am I - or any of us - supposed to go?”

“You can always leave,” Jeremiah said.

Weasel Kid couldn’t help but glare. “Yeah right, with Mr. Murderer over here? All our asses are going to get caught for being a witness to killing Irving at least, ” he growled. “Not to mention how The Artifact was stolen and used!”

“You helped us,” Jeremiah shrugged. “It’s far too late to back out now.”

Before Weasel Kid could jab back with an insult, Reggie interrupted. “Both of you, shut up,” he said, rolling his eyes. “And Jeremiah, go fix up the spare beds and the room unrepaired for our guests.”

With one final look of distrust, Jeremiah scampered away - it unnerved Weasel Kid how quickly Jeremiah answered to those orders - and Reginald focused his next words more so on the other guests. “As for the rest of you, take care of Irving’s body. I don’t care where you put him, as long as he’s out of sight and you tell me where he winds up.”

Lazarus set off, slower in his steps. “It’d be best to put him in the second rooms in the kitchen,” he said, thinking out loud. “...Chandrelle, could you help me?” The sorceress scowled, but followed. Weasel Kid could hear her as she left out for the elevator, something about the cellar and someone named Vallamir. FPP followed behind them.

Bryce looked at Rust, then at Weasel Kid and Reggie. “It’s been a long night,” he said, sounding tired. “I don’t know if anyone’s hungry after all of this, but I could whip up something real quick.” Reggie nodded thoughtfully before Bryce left as well. Weasel Kid watched him go, his lips curled in apprehension. It bothered him that Bryce was, seemingly at least, one of the most ‘normal’ of them, yet he couldn’t get a good grasp on what he was actually like. S’what happens when you assume the guy’s a murderer right off the bat, I guess, he thought, with a pang of regret.

“I suppose you two want to bother me about something, considering you haven’t left yet,” Reggie quipped with a raised eyebrow.

Rust was looking at the wall and window where The Hex had once been opened. It was back to normal now, no evidence that a portal had been opened at all. “So, all this…” the old man’s fingers twitched. The knife he kept strapped to his front looked more nonthreatening than Weasel Kid had thought of it before. “Er, what now? What about… What about-”

“Rust,” Reggie said, though his tone of voice sounded scolding. It was odd, to Weasel Kid at least. “Rust, what matters is that for now we’ve taken care of the root of our issues. We’ll get to the next hurdle when it happens.”

“I don’t understand,” Rust said, and for a moment Weasel Kid had forgotten how Rust creeped him out. He wasn’t muttering about murdering whoever those characters from his game were, or asking him if he’d shot any groondas. He sounded lost.

“I know you don’t.”

Why does Reggie sound so dismissive?

“Where’s Rocky?”

Who’s Rocky?

“You should head back to your room. Take a rest.” Reginald rolled over to the exit, guiding Rust out. “When you’ve slept on it, I’ll talk to you again.”

Rust left with no verbal protest other than an aborted sentence, bu het looked back with furrowed brows, expression unclear. Weasel Kid was left alone with Reggie, feeling more conflicted than he had before. “Speak up, sonny,” Reggie said, making him flinch a bit.

“Did you mean what you said, back when this started?” Weasel Kid fidgeted with his gloves.

Reggie’s eyebrow raised. “Hm?”

Weasel Kid looked down. “You said I was the only one you trusted here,” he recalled. “I know a lot of this was all a lie. We were all here for a reason. And that was the murder. Maybe it’s cuz I worked with Jeremiah and helped get The Artifact. But…”

Reggie held his head in one of his hands, leaning on the armrest of his chair. “Hm, I guess so. We are more connected than you knew, after all,” he said. “I knew you. You didn’t know me, but I knew you. I saw your creation, I heard of it. And I was excited. You were Lionel’s latest creation, and I loved you because I loved him.” There was a trace of a smile on Reginald’s face, where crow’s feet rightfully creased.

Reggie’s voice took a dip, and that trace faded as soon as Weasel Kid had noticed it. “I don’t think I could discuss how Irving handled your release and my deletion. I don’t like to think about it at all.” He sighed, sounding older in a way that he hadn’t earlier in the night. “In a way, I hated you. Rather, the idea of you. But none of it was your fault.”

“I guess calling you Gramps earlier wasn’t too wrong,” Weasel Kid tried to joke. He fell into silence. It wasn’t very funny. “I don’t understand. Jeremiah, he was hostile to me, back when I didn’t even know. And yet, he’s the one I worked with to… to destroy The Gameworks with. Does he hate me? Does he not care?”

“Jerry is his own person,” Reggie shrugged. “His feelings are his own. To tell the truth, he doesn’t care about what happens to others or if they get hurt. But he does what I ask. It doesn’t matter if it’s repairing the floorboards or gaining a hold of The Artifact.”

He doesn’t care who gets hurt in order to do his job, was unspoken, but it lingered on the tip of Weasel Kid’s tongue. He felt like Reggie could very well say it too.

“He only cares about you.” Weasel Kid opted for saying instead, unable to hide the disgust in his voice.

“Hm! I suppose!” Reginald didn’t sound bothered at all.

“What…whatever, man. I don’t care about that creep either,” Weasel Kid snorted. You should take better care of Mr. Shrewd. He’s getting older. He felt anger catching in his throat, bubbling, boiling , want to be released no matter how inappropriate to the rather collected conversion., and he tried to relax his fur so he at least looked calm. “...I don’t know. I kinda…”

Reggie looked surprisingly sympathetic. “You’re having regrets about Lionel.”

Weasel Kid bit his tongue. “...Yeah. I mean, he… He didn’t know we were around. He couldn't have known how much he hurt us. And I…”

“You miss him,” Reggie finished. “You miss the old him. When he was young, and riding on his sudden success. Then he grew up and left you behind.”

“Exactly- oh. God, that probably makes me sound worse,” he mumbled. “I just- I miss when everything seemed good. I miss when the idea of being in a game was fun. I miss being among the clouds, or jumping on those groondas. I-I miss Mr. Shrewd. He was like a father to me.”

Weasel Kid exhaled. “Ever since, man, it just feels like my life should be over. It all feels bleak. People used to like me. Now, I just became part of a sellout, just the staple of a ruined game.”

Reggie paused for a moment, thinking over his words. “I get it. I think most of us here get it.” He wheeled over to be next to Weasel Kid. He put his hand on the mustelid’s back, a reassuring presence. It felt so familiar, so much like their roles were meant for this. Like they were meant to be here, old and young, abandoned and left behind. The ending conclusion to a beginning they didn’t know existed.

“Have you ever figured out where that squirrel from your game wound up?” Reggie asked. “I wouldn’t know if he was reassigned or on hold.”

“ Mr. Squarrel… ” Weasel Kid hissed under his breath. He settled for a moment. “Okay. No, I don’t know what’s up with him. But he said he never even heard of Mr. Shrewd.”

“Hmm,” Reginald leaned back again, hands in his lap. “He was probably lying. I’m sure that Jeremiah could-”

“Listen, I think I’ve had enough of him ,” Weasel Kid said, voice prickly. “And… There’s more important issues than some SWK reunion party.”

Reggie chuckled, and Weasel Kid felt a strange feeling of closure, somehow. Not closure to Mr. Shrewd, not closure to his feelings on his downfall, and not closure on Lionel Snill. Just a general feeling that maybe, just maybe, he was supposed to be with Rootbeer Reggie. Even if they butted heads. Maybe in some other world, some other universe where Lionel didn’t delete Rootbeer Tender, they could have been like this.

It felt like grandfather and grandson.

I’m rewatching Chuck for the first time in ages, and like, hold on. Hold up. Putting any shipping aside, I’m fucking obsessed with the way Bryce Larkin is about Chuck.

By all accounts - and, okay, I’m only at 2.03 in my rewatch, so maybe something else comes up I’ve forgot - Bryce is a totally normal guy from Connecticut. He’s a geek who speaks Klingon and plays Zork. He’s also this super-spy who lives a life of constant danger and secrecy.

Bryce has mythologised Chuck. He’s put him on a pedestal in his mind. Chuck is this paragon of normalcy and domesticity, everything that Bryce knows he will never have because of a choice he made as a college-age kid. And that’s okay, because Bryce protected him - not just the same way he protects all of national security, but in getting Chuck kicked out of Stanford and away from the Company.

When he hears that Chuck lives with Ellie, when he asks “Chuck, what happened to you?” It was tactless and infuriating, and we as the audience know the answer is he got kicked out of Stanford because of YOU, asshole! But for Bryce it’s a genuine question. I’m willing to bet he spent ages convincing himself that getting Chuck kicked out of Stanford wasn’t a big deal, actually - it kept Chuck safe, and Chuck is brilliant enough to make it without some posh degree. He convinced himself that his betrayal won’t have mattered much. And when he sees evidence to the contrary, his first instinct is to reject it.

Weirdly specific and overly long Critical Role Ask Meme: C, D, E, G

Had to go to my blog to find these letters, lol, I don't do that often.

C. Minor character people in the fandom are obsessed with that makes you go “them? why?"

Honestly, Bryce. They were, like, fine, but they were ultimately just a random townsguard who was an early campaign quest-giver.

D. Minor character you are (correctly) obsessed with.

If he counts as minor, Eadwulf. I want to know so much more about that dude.

If he doesn't, the guard in Eiselcross who Jester convinces to build a snowman. One of Matt's more charming instant creations.

E. Meta you would write if you did not fear people would be SUPER weird about it. This is also an invitation to write that meta and block the haters.

I think a couple people have answered this the same way but I have a LOT of thoughts about Caleb's feelings for Jester and how they evolved over the campaign and the point at which he ultimately laid them to rest and transitioned into strong friendship feelings. I think this is an incredibly interesting part of Caleb's story and moving on from his feelings for her was of huge importance to his healing process. But there is no way people would be normal about everything I have to say about that.

G. Alternate outcome in a main campaign that you don’t necessarily wish happened, but that you wish you could see played out in an alternate universe before returning to ours.

I would love to see what a version of C1 looked like where Scanlan never came back. I want to live in the alternate universe where Sam played Tary in the final battle against Vecna. Just to see lol.

Alright, I wanna ramble about The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog. Just list some things I love about it because it ABSOLUTELY rocketed me back into the Sonic fandom, even if it ends up being temporary. All spoilers will be under a read more cut, but I urge you to play it if you haven't, it's super fun. Although that might just be my bias towards point and click visual novels and murder mysteries talking

I think my favorite thing in The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is how much of a fucking DORK Espio is. Shitty poetry (sorry bud), getting super committed to the bit to the point of walking around the library with a piece of paper and a quill, his outfit matching his shoes, I love him. Also, him speedreading a book just to spoil the end for Knuckles is fucking hilarious and I love it. He also managed to get tricked by Eggman into drugging Sonic? Good job on tricking the most logical member of Team Chaotix, Eggman, lmao.

THE ART IS GORGEOUS??? It's so expressive and pretty?? I also like the harsher black shadows on the characters.

Vector gets so protective of Espio that you can choose to accuse him of Sonic's murder JUST because of how protective he gets. Honestly I did get suspicious of Vector because of it and considered accusing him because of it but decided against it.

Tails has read the Sherlock Holmes stories. Every time he called me "my dear Jayce" all I could think of was Sherlock Holmes.

"Eggman's gotten a lot more creative lately, don't you think?" "I try not to!" is basically my feelings towards the train being a Badnik lmao.

Knuckles sticking with a cowboy accent for all of like 5 minutes. Never change, Knuckles. Never change.

Shadow looks like a Starbucks employee. What was Amy's costume guide? I thought Shadow was supposed to be a LOCKSMITH?

How did Amy invite Blaze?

Speaking of Blaze, I like the implication that she only helped Rouge steal that weird Chao egg because of her lore card. "I normally wouldn't steal but my lore card says otherwise, so I guess I'm stealing!!!"

Omochao being wanted for MEDICAL MALPRACTICE ASJDKJDGFJADGF

I kinda wish Silver had shown up, because I think we all know he couldn't lie if his life depended on it (Espio even tells Silver he's a bad liar in Future Growth) so that would've been absolutely hilarious in a murder mystery setting. It also would've been fitting considering Silver's current voice actor is Bryce Papenbrook, who worked on Danganronpa, and I've seen multiple people compare The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog to Danganronpa.

I also feel like it would've been hilarious to see Espio try to serenade Silver with his shitty poetry, even if it was in a platonic way. Idk. Just would've been funny lol.

Can I request The Hax Characters With a cuddly sleepy reader hcs

Hex characters with a sleepy, cuddly reader hc’s

[Author’s Note: Heck yeah, stop normalizing the grind and start normalizing being a sleepy lil guy]

Lionel:

He doesn’t get very much sleep because he’d rather play or program his games later on in the day but he’ll chill in the same room as you.

Lionel isn’t really a cuddler but he’ll let you lean against him.

You’re probably the reason why he’s starting to have a better sleep schedule.

He’s a pretty decent artist because he designs all the visual aspects of his games so he might sketch you while you’re sleeping. He’s very shy about showing you these sketches because he doesn’t want to come off as weird.

Carla:

Carla loves to cuddle but she can’t sit still.

She has so many stuffed animals you can cuddle with in her absence and a bunch of cool blankets with different designs on them.

Before you moved in together she would fall asleep with you on Discord calls.

Before she started dating you she would listen to asmr so she would recommend you some channels she liked. She would watch the funny ones with you in bed.

Reggie:

If you’re asleep in front of other people he’ll make it very clear that no one should disturb your rest.

Reggie has different records that he can play on the gramophone if you prefer music while you’re sleeping. If you don’t he can make the inn silent.

Will hum to you as you fall asleep.

Life can be so stressful so he’s just happy to see that you’re resting.

Jeremiah:

Jeremiah is a very awkward cuddler so in the beginning you’ll be initiating most of it.

Even if you’re bundled up in blankets he’ll still give you his cloak.

He doesn’t need sleep but will sleep next to you if it’s something you want him to do.

He likes listening to the sound of your heartbeat, it becomes his favorite sound to fall asleep to.

Chef Bryce:

Bryce prefers to be moving and doing something but he considers all time with you to be precious, even if it’s sleeping.

He may not fall asleep but he’ll use that opportunity to practice meditation, breathing exercises, or reflect on his day.

He likes to tell you about the silly dreams he had when he wakes up and he likes to hear about your dreams.

He doesn’t sleep with a lot of blankets so you can have as many as you like but he will steal your pillows.

Lazarus:

Laz is always tired even if he gets an appropriate amount of rest which is rare.

He’ll sleep along with you no matter the time or the place.

I saw a drawing of him with long hair once so that’s now my headcanon for him. His hair is super long and will get everywhere while you two are sleeping. It’s normal to wake up with some of his hair in your mouth.

He likes to hold your hand while sleeping so he’s still connected to you.

Chandrelle:

Chandrelle talks in her sleep and it can be really funny sometimes.

She’s a little grumpy when she first wakes up but then again she’s grumpy all the time.

Before she met you she was fine with sleeping alone but now if she wants to sleep she needs you to cuddle her.

She uses some of the items and potions from her game to create skincare products so that you two have a fun nighttime spa routine.

Sado:

Doesn’t need to sleep but enjoys sleeping anyways.

She’s always hyper aware of everything meaning it’s hard for her to fall asleep. Your cuddles do help her get calm and cozy.

Unfortunately her hyper awareness means that even the most faintest sound or a slight change in temperature will wake her up.

She enjoys building a huge pillow fort for the both of you to sleep in. This pillow fort will literally defy the laws of time and space.

Irving:

Irving doesn’t really understand that people need to rest so he ends up pushing other people and himself to the limit.

It’ll take some persuasion but you can get him to fall asleep with you. You tell him that you’ll only take a five minute nap and it ends up being hours later before either of you wake up.

He thinks resting makes him weak but he loves holding you and making you feel safe. He tells himself that he’s only resting for you and won’t admit that he genuinely enjoys his downtime with you.

He prefers to sleep and cuddle with you on a couch so that he can get up easily if his work requires him to do so.

First Person Perspective:

It’s hard to tell if he sleeps or not but he’s always down for cuddling with you.

If you fall asleep and he needs to go somewhere he’ll just carry you around, he doesn’t really care who’s watching. It’s just comforting to have you close by.

He loves glow in the dark stuff so if the both of you have a room at the inn it will be covered in those glow in the dark stars that stuck on ceilings.

He’s great to cuddle with because he’s really good at staying still.

Rust McClain:

This man is so tired but will not sleep unless you drag him to bed.

Even when he’s no longer in Waste World he insists on looking out for danger. After what happened in his game it’s hard for him to feel safe but he’ll sleep if you really want him to.

He enjoys cuddling with you but you can only do it once he has all of his accessories off otherwise it’s going to be very uncomfortable.

He loves sleeping to the sound of rain. If it’s raining he’ll start to fall asleep even if he doesn’t mean to.

ok, since i havent had the energy to really post latwly, ill share one of my most specific hcs/interpretations that ive had for one for a long while:

the kill command... doesnt really kill the characters? it just teleports them to the waiting room (which, admittedly, i dont think has a LOCATION despite it BEING a location, if that makes any sense?

this stems from the fact that we KNOW corpses remain when a character dies. with liams cast at the bottom of the pool, whippy creamy finding charlotte, etc, thid is clear. so in a sense, when a character is in the waiting room, theyre there, but their body is left behind. even when theyre teleported back, it seems their actual body is teleported with them. sorta like their consciousness and body are teleported seperately but still at the same time

when a character is teleported to the plane, though, everything about them comes with them, as very easily shown. characters just disappear

this is important, because when texty uses the kill command to take the three of them out of stones world, we see that their bodies disappear, too. they arent dying, theyre being teleported TO the waiting room

i think its less clear if a characters body is teleported with them when they use the radio. if it were common, in the normal world, bodies would just sometimes Disappear, but then again, it isnt made clear just how common it is for people TO use the radio (its implied to be at LEAST very very uncommon, with only 2-3 characters ever being shown to use it, and if the crowd liam sees is an indication of the average amount of dead people each day, then it may be exceedingly rare. this, though, isnt super concrete so ill leave it on the back burner. maybe ill look at it another time) so maybe its not a large enough amount of corpses vanishing for people to notice. hence why im less clear about this. (airys lid? thing? IS still left behind when liam finds him. this could mean he didnt use the radio if we assume the radio teleports a While character, but once again, this is way more ambiguous)

this also leads to a related hc/interpretation, that the the computer ONLY teleports people, NOT other objects, even if they are held. we see this with taylor and her phone, but that could be brushed of if the kill command was viewed as separate from teleportation. bryce drops the flashlight when he teleports though. the only outliers for this, i think, is that liam keeps the sticky notes(+flashlight, apparently) AND is able to keep a hold on texty when using the command AND dying. the way ive looked at it for a long time, though, is that items Inside an object come with them, and the laptop something of functions as textys house AND body, kinda like a turtle

when theyre teleported to the plane, its noticeable that textys computer doesnt come with them. honestly idrk how to explain this one. the way i see it though, i guess, is that airy SPECIFICALLY teleported textys Text, so their laptop stayed behind. when they used the kill command, their text was teleported, but since liam wasnt holding onto just an object but like. a Person who was Also being teleported, the laptop came too. That, or the waiting room is just weird about textys laptop and functions differently with it than what either existing on earth with it or being teleported to the plane entails

abyway, the point of this being: the kill command is just a fancy teleporting function (which i feel like DOES explain why airy just had it lyint around, since he never actively chooses to kill a contestant, and he wouldve had to learn about them separately if they WERE different. he calls regenerating respawning deliberately, so it could be smth similar) and it does NOT teleport random items unless they are contained inside the object being teleported

#hfjone #if any of this is wrong sorry i havent had the energy to rewatch in a bit #i just remembered i never shared this #+ if i wanna write that thing i mentioned this IS relevant to it and i dont feel like explaining this in conjunction with it #(if i ever DO write+post it)#anyway. thank u for reading have a great day

I SAID TO MYSELF I WOULDNT POST THESE UNLESS SOMEONE ASKED SO HERE U GO

Tickle Headcanons for Liam, Bryce and Airy !

Liam-

Lee

·It's very easy to reduce him into a little pile of mush

· He's pretty sensitive all over ! but his stomach is the WORST

·He'll squeak and kick but never hard enough to actually hurt someone

· Liam is sensitive on the inside as well ! He can't stand anybody rummaging around inside him or else it'll just reduce him to a giggly mess !

· He's absolutely weak to teases ! WEAK I tell you

·He HATES asking for tickles but will TRY and hint at it

·VERY OFTEN TARGETED BY BRYCE AND AMELIA

Ler

·Kind of a little shit ngl

·It's like this playful monster that UNLEASHES

·He kinda knows what makes people excited/embarrassed ! He'll chase, tease, anything

·He's super soft about it though :) no hurting !

· He completely forgets about the lee turning the tables on him, so he just kinda goes all out !

·He would never push anyone past their limits

·Common target is Bryce and maybe even Amelia :)

Bryce-

Lee

·ITS ACTUALLY REALLY CUTE WHEN HE GETS LIKE THIS

·He gets giggly and squirmy, he definitely snorts if you get him good !

· His most sensitive spots would be his palms and his sides

· Can endure teases better than most, but he will break eventually lmao

·main targeter is Liam !!

Ler

·BASTARD

·ABSOLUTE SHITHEAD

·He has a really good teasing voice and he knows it

·He's very smug about it actually

·Teasing is definitely his strongsuit, it'll reduce anyone to a MESS

·He's definitely one to linger around the most sensitive spots and ask stuff like " Oh, does it tickle here ? what about here ? "

·target is liam, obviously. also sometimes amelia but he's not as mean with her

Airy-

Lee

· Not gonna lie, he doesn't actually feel much

· If anything at all ?

· He's sensitive yes ! But it's very little

· Mostly sensitive on his palms, neck and sides a little

·If you surprise him you'll get a bigger reaction ! It's mostly just a squeak or snort

· But thats it, the most you'll get from him are little snickers and snorts

·Then it's back to normal

Ler

·Not really a ler either !

·He can do it though, they're very soft and almost feel feather-light :)

·He has made contestants go after each other tho......

ace questionnaire - jensen valentine

im too late to post this for ace week (yay big projects and assignments the one week i wanna do fun things) but i realized i could just answer these anyway so,, (and i plan to get my jensen and aliyah fic done eventually woo)

How/when did your character discover/realize they are ace?

later than most. as aware as he was of his other types of queerness (he knew he was attracted to multiple genders since late high school), being ace just didnt,, click? even with an aroace best friend, and a demiromantic partner, he didn't really apply the same thinking to himself until his early thirties. he figured it out by talking with friends, mostly. many of them are vehemently interested in sex and bring it up often, and he thought they were just talking it up. after a few conversations like that (which he realized he had no interest in), he finally talked it through with bryce and asked him if he was actually interested in sex most of, if not all of, the time. when bryce said yes jensen definitely had an oh moment

Does your character use any aspec microlabels?

jensen tends to just use queer for everything, but if directly asked, he would use grayace. he feels sexual attraction and interest sometimes, often in short and intense bursts, but much of the time it doesnt cross his mind

Has your character come out as ace? If so, how/when?

a few times now, yes. after that conversation with bryce, he did some researching and talked to aliyah (his best friend), and eventually came out to both of them. though he isnt super big on coming out (nor does he like to) he tells some of his other close friends eventually, too

What is your character’s favorite thing about being ace?

that sex isnt taking up his mental space. he could not imagine having it on his mind often enough that its a distraction, especially given his job

What is your character’s least favorite thing about being ace?

for him, its 1. explaining it to people and 2. having people not believe him when he does explain it. hes not big on coming out, and it isn't the easiest when he does, so its just more motivation for him not to

Is your character in a relationship (i.e., romantic, qpr, platonic, etc.)?

yes he is :) hes in a sexual/romantic relationship with bryce lahela

How does your character feel about sex (i.e., sex-postive, sex-repulsed, etc.)?

he has a decently complicated relationship with sex. for quite a few years through college, sex was somewhat of a coping mechanism. he slept with a lot of people a lot of the time, but that was mostly due to some personal issues that he needed to work through. there were times where he wasn't as interested but did it anyway, and he just thought of that as normal. though he's swung between being repulsed, neutral, and positive given how his circumstances have been over the years, generally he sits at neutral or positive now

Anything else you’d like to share?

not that i can think of :)
