Hi, accidentally stumble in your blog~ I love yandere jojo contents too so I hope to see your content about it :D

I don't know what to request yet but maybe we can talk about type of yandere. What is your favorite type of yandere? Mine is delusion or simp yandere (what characters in jojo you think they will be in this category btw)

Delusional types are adorable to me. There’s just something so charming about someone who’s so bent on being together that their brain skips the entire courting process and goes right into “We’re dating. No actually we’re married and have been married since forever and even our past lives were married. You belong to me what do you mean I have to stop calling for fifteen days.” I think my favored type is protective, but delusionals are too cute to pass on. As for those I think are delusional or simps, off the top of my head…

I’d also argue that Mista’s the type to simp, he’s pretty sure he’ll die if you carry your own shopping bags, but he doesn’t strike me as delusional. Love’s gotta be real to him, you know? He’s the kind of guy that can take a maybe, hell, even a hard no! He knows how to back off, but he’s just gonna keep watch from over here if that’s cool with you. I mean, come on, what kinda “friend” would he be if he let you open your own doors or pay for your own meal? He’s got a job, it’s totally on him! Don’t even think about trying to step over that puddle yourself, he’s already got you up by your legs to carry you across. He’s pretty strong, isn’t he? Oh, he’d die a happy man if you praised him for something like that. He’s like a dog whose tail just won’t stop wagging. You’re his everything, why wouldn’t he try to do things for you all the time? That isn’t weird, don’t shove him into the same category as creepy guys who never give up! It’s like typical hollywood stuff, you know? Romanticism or whatever!

You know who’s fully delusional, though? I say this with lots of love, but Diego. He just cannot fathom the idea of someone rejecting him, I mean, what’s wrong with him? He’s the prince of the british horseracing world, how DARE you reject him??? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with him, don’t play hard to get with him of all people! You should be begging for his attention, not the other way around, but here we are. Diego fully believes that you were made for him, you just don’t understand the gravity (I do think I’m funny for this wordplay) of the situation yet. No matter what happens, you’re always going to be his. As long as he’s got it in his head that you’re more of an object than a real person who has thoughts and feelings like he does, he’s not really going to care about your ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Look, pigeons are just meant to be led, and he’s already somewhat fond of you, so just let him have what he wants. I’m firmly of the belief that if you ever flat out rejected him, he’d just think you were unwell and needed him even more. Be good for him, he doesn’t have the time to play this silly little game of cat and mouse with you right now.

Joseph is another “You can’t play hard to get forever!” type to me, honestly. He’s persistent like a bloodhound, and is going to get in the way of whatever lover or relationship you’ve got going on right now no matter what. He called dibs on you, so, it’s totally fair. He’ll show up to your apartment or house and completely ignore his training if it means getting just a glimpse of you. So what if he’s got a ring in his throat, he wants to put a ring on your finger! Joseph goes the extra mile for you- literally. If you were to move out of town, he’d walk all the way to your new place if he had to. Joseph won’t be deterred so easily. You just wanted him to get some exercise, right, babe? That’s so thoughtful of you! It makes his day when you look his way, especially if you actually catch him showing off with his training. If you were to actually talk to him, or god forbid compliment him, he’d be reeling for a week. He trails behind you on your errands, taking notes mentally of where you go and what you get. One day he’ll know it by heart, and then you won’t even have to go on errands anymore! Unless you want to go with him, that is. Then he’s totally down for a little couple’s day out. Joseph will buy you whatever you want as long as he gets his fix in. Let him put his head on your lap and just stare, and he’ll be thrilled. I don’t necessarily believe that Joseph would kidnap you if you broke his fantasy too many times, but you’re definitely going to start losing a lot of personal time. It doesn’t matter how he got into your apartment, he made dinner. Haha, ok, you caught him. He ordered dinner.

I think it’s fairly obvious to say that Yukako is delusional. She has a warped sense of reality. Her crimes really don’t matter to her because she’s making up for it. Look, look, she cooked for you. Stop trying to go for the door or the window. Yukako loves you, so you’re going to be perfect for her, and you’re going to be perfect together. She’s firm about never leaving your side even though she’s already got you all to herself. She sees nothing wrong with skipping dating and going right to locking you up if she thinks you need her for something. You’re failing at that cooking class that school made you take despite your pleas not to? She can do that. You’re awful with directions? She knows every little corner of town. You actually don’t need her and are perfectly capable of taking care of yourself? Don’t talk like that. You need her. There’s absolutely no reason to deny her, so let’s do this the cutesy way she wants it.

Casting Svt as Characters in KDramas I’ve Watched

Masterlist || Taglist Form

Words: Around 900

Category: Fluff I guess

A/n: If you disagree w any of these, I’m always open for healthy discussion

Disclaimers:

a) A lot of these shows I watched a while ago so if any character descriptions are inaccurate, please drag me it’s okay.

b) Some characters are, of course, very different in age than the members but just go on the emotions, will ya?

c) Character descriptions are kept vague on purpose because I don’t want to give spoilers. Also, if I’ve given any major spoilers unintentionally, I apologise.

d) Spellings of Character names are from Wikipedia, so if you find any inaccuracies, pls lmk

Taglist: @junhui-recs @drunk-on-dk @wonuhour @enhacolor

Fic specific tags: @wonwussy @bitchlessdino hope you guys like it!

1. Choi Seungcheol as Lee Young-Joon in What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim

The strong male character with childhood trauma who doesn’t know what to do with his feelings once he realises the love of his life, whom he had never confessed to, is leaving him screams Seungcheol to me. He’s awkward with his feelings, reacts poorly when hearing the news, is a true leader who silently burdens not only his trauma, but also his brother’s.

2. Yoon Jeonghan as Park Chang-ho in Big Mouth

I think, of all the people in the world who can deceive a prison full of inmates that they’re a criminal mastermind and you shouldn’t mess with them, no one else would compare to Jeonghan. The professional lawyer, who is framed and sent to prison, is a good person at heart, and helps other suppressed inmates and leads a revolution. Jeonghan is particularly quick to think on his feet, which matches the character’s energy.

3. Hong Joshua as Kang Tae- Moo in Business Proposal

A cold CEO who is super averse to dating and and is busy running his business meets and instantly falls in love with a girl who is posing as her friend on this blind date to get rid of him. He is devoted to his family, his passion for his company’s food products is only matched by our heroine. He’s a great cook and is also kind of nosy in his little brother’s love life.

4. Wen Junhui as An Min-Hyuk in Strong Girl Bong Soon

The cute, funny gaming company CEO who hires our Bong Soon as a bodyguard just screams Jun to me, both because of his passion for games and gaming development but also for his endearingly cute and shy demeanour and the sense of humour. Plus actor Jun deserves a fun, cool and handsome role like this, considering we might never get to see his c drama :((

5. Kwon Soonyoung as Jung Joon-hyung in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo

Ok so this is the latest drama I’ve watched and Joonhyung’s passion and commitment for swimming instantly reminded me of Hoshi and his passion for dance. A bonus factor is the fact that after seeing In the Soop S2, I can confirm his….ahem…abdominal area can easily pass for a swimmer’s.

6. Jeon Wonwoo as Cha Sung-hoon in Business Proposal

Yeah I don’t think I need to explain this.

7. Lee Jihoon as Wi Seung-Huen in Rookie Cops

I’m sorry but Woozi as a trainee cop along with an initial e2f2l storyline???? Sign me uppppppp… Plus, this character is like the ace trainee along with having daddy issues and a strong sense of morality that builds over time. Just writing this is making me crave a Woozi remake of this show.

8. Xu Minghao as Myul Mang in Doom at Your Service

Minghao, I think, is the best person in the world who can bring doom to the world while looking fucking stylish and having an angsty emo personality. Fuck the humans, what even do they have. Xu minghao is literally here to end us all. Plus the later developments in the show and the emotions this characters develops….I’ll cry watching if Minghao was Myul Mang. Also, I feel like Minghao is the most supernaturally member in Svt- you know the one who is into Tarot cards and palm readings.

9. Kim Mingyu as Ji U-Min in The Fabulous

Ngl, the Going Magazine episode was a big factor while giving Mingyu this character. This super talented fashion and street photographer, who sometimes struggles to find his aim and is stuck in the friend zone after breaking up with the female lead is such Gyu vibe honestly. This man is so supportive, encouraging…and might I say relentless?

10. Lee Seokmin as Baek Hee- Sung in Flower of Evil

The beauty of Dark! Seokmin is something to behold, a fantasy I will never give up on. A bright, perfect husband in every sense of the way on the surface with a dark past and even darker present….. is….so…..hot. And his wife is a police officer? Yup yup add it to the drama. Mars’ serial killer DK fic has arisen a fantasy in me that i don’t think is going away anytime soon. Plus I’m a sucker for complicated, grey characters whose layers are revealed slowly as the series progresses. He’s almost an anti- hero here.

11. Boo Seungkwan as Lee Seung-cheon in The Golden Spoon

Another grey character, probably the most complicated character on this list. I think, for me, our Boo is also the most emotionally complex and mature guy in seventeen so I think this character really suits him. Our lead guy, is born into poverty but changes his luck, along with his family’s, by switching lives with the richest guy in his school. Complications, along with consequences, haunt him.

12. Chwe Hansol as Goo Chang-seong in Hotel Del Luna

I’m sorry but Vernon as this character??? In great looking suits and constantly in service of ghosts to help them finish their last wishes and peacefully transition to afterlife along with having… probably the most emotional love story ever…..yeah I need a minute, or a week.

13. Lee Chan as Kim Do-ki in Taxi Driver

Taxi driver is probably my favourite kdrama till date. And Dino as the sexy vigilante who takes revenge for people who the system can’t help is such a sexy concept. Action hero Dino to the rescue! Plus the main character plays so many roles undercover and is so hilarious at times that Dino will fit perfectly in this character’s shoes.

okey dokey!!! my little object (?) world is still in development but i really should share it with you all... (especially @mumpsetc so i'm tagging you!!) here's a little blurb on botanica!!!!

so this is a peaceful planet filled with sentient fruit! yay!! if you'd like to learn more, read below :D

in botanica, as fruit ripen on their plants, the plant material grows inside of the fruit, as if a miniature version of the plant has grown into it - botanican fruit possess a circulatory system of xylem and phloem within their flesh, with stems and vines growing out to form appendages (fig 1). all botanicans have leaves on at least one appendage, which they use to photosynthesize. aside from this energy from the sun, botanicans also drink water, which is taken in with a root tongue, and consume soil, from which nutrients and moisture are absorbed in a stomach-like organ. in doing so, botanicans effectively keep themselves "fresh" and/or "ripe", meaning that the life of a botanican fruit off of the parent plant is longer than that of a corresponding fruit in our world. all botanicans do eventually pass, and when they do, their bodies decompose and the seeds within them have the chance of growing into plants that will create more botanicans.

botanicans, like our fruit, come in different species, but those species are grouped into four categories: roaming botanicans, which are vine fruits (melons, tomatoes, squash, grapes), coasting botanicans, which are tropical fruits (bananas, papayas, pineapples, starfruit), floating botanicans, which are berries (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries), and soaring botanicans, which are tree fruit (apples, pears, peaches, cherries). citrus fruits are in a subcategory between coasting and soaring botanicans. (all of these category names are subject to change though!!)

roaming botanicans are quadrupedal (four vine legs) with a prehensile vine-and-leaf tail (fig 2a); they live in sibling herds (usually small, but can vary in size) and roam around the landscape, without any designated leader among them. most roaming botanican species follow the sun year-round, and so avoid winter; in their constant migration they periodically stop to rest at hills, under which they burrow to make a nest. after making a nest under a hill, a herd will stick a branch at its peak so, after they leave, other herds will know that that hill can be used as a nesting site (fig 2b). some roaming botanicans have evolved to have particularly thick rinds, and so are more cold-resistant, and so opt not to constantly migrate, instead living more sedentary lives with occasional migration.

coasting botanicans have a stem-and-leaf tail and two leaf fins (fig 3); they grow on land but live the majority of their lives in the water, where they spend their time in groups. these groups are more based on friendship ties than familial ties, considering how vast a domain these botanicans have (basically the entire aquatic realm). more so than others, coasting botanicans connect with botanicans of other species and categories, and spend most of their lives just exploring and meeting others. while usually surrounded by others, a coasting botanican might on a rare chance find themselves alone in the ocean, in which case the loneliness will cause them to act in a way abnormal for most of their category - they will become antisocial and will lose their desire to explore. there are few cases of this occurring, however, given how populated and lively most corners of botanica's waters are.

floating botanicans have four large leafy wings and six tiny stem feet (fig 4a); they are the most solitary of the four categories, being very individualized. they have a very strong connection to flowers, which they in fact pollinate - many cultivate their own gardens and end up specializing in a specific type of flower. floating botanicans can be very social at times, and often come together to form collaborative gardens and even breed flowers, but they do not live in groups. these botanicans, being so much smaller than the others, can often not safely drink out of rivers or lakes without falling in, and so have evolved a long root tongue to drink with (fig 4b).

soaring botanicans have two large, leafy wings and two stem talons (fig 5a); they tend to live in very large familial flocks, as fruit trees often produce mass amounts of botanicans. the first to ripen is usually the leader of the flock. these botanicans build nests in their family tree (get it?) using fallen sticks, branches, and other plant materials, which becomes the center of life (fig 5b). within a flock of soaring botanicans, many individuals are designated to explore the surrounding area for interesting additions to the nests (such as a foreign flower or a pretty rock). due to the large size of these groups, most individuals within a flock form a "twin" bond with another individual, which they spend more time with than others.

i don't think i ever came up with a name for the soaring-coasting subcategory, but in any event, these botanicans have a single broad leaf tail and two stem talons (fig 6). these botanicans are more closely related to soaring botanicans than coasting botanicans, but as they tend to live in more watery areas, they have many similarities to coasting botanicans and do not have the capability of flight. botanicans of this category live in large flocks in ponds, lakes, and rivers; many build small dams. unlike those of the typical flock of soaring botanicans, individuals within flocks of these botanicans tend to intermix more; they often make friends between flocks and so there seems to be some kind of broad botanican network from pond to pond, river to river, lake to lake. these botanicans, like coasting botanicans, are very friendly and carefree.

botanica is a peaceful, happy planet; basically every resource needed for survival is in abundance and there is no opportunity for greed and selfishness to even arise, so individuals are more often than not cooperative, kind, and generous. of course, as loss and loneliness are truths of life, no botanican life is free of all suffering altogether, and issues can arise - but given the warm, compassionate nature of the surrounding physical and social environments, individuals end up living happy, loving lives overall.

something interesting about botanican life is the complete disconnect between reproduction and relationhips - seeds are only spread after a botanican passes away, and those seeds grow into plants otherwise entirely disconnected from the botanican in question; then those plants are pollinated and new botanicans grow from them. in this way, botanicans have no real concept of sex, and often fall in love with and befriend members of different species (as there is no reason why this would be an issue; they wouldn't be reproducing with them anyway) (fig 7). while plant individuals sometimes have parts of a specific sex, most have parts of both sexes, and either way this has no impact on the mindset or behavior of the botanican as a whole creature (they technically have biological sex but they have no gender).

...so yeah, here's my silly fruit world!!! there's a lot of stuff left to talk about (with the gods of the world and everything) but this is good to start with :) i hope you like it!!!!

#dandy's doodles #botanica #osc #<- i never know if this really counts but i guess it does #this whole thing was very first created like 5 years before i even learned about the existence of object shows #but y'know there's a connection here #the reason why i love object shows so much is because i already personified inanimate objects!!#so yeah i guess this counts :)

October Check-In

September passed wayyyy too fast again, and almost all my efforts went into completing the DOL-OS remaster. And finishing strong by catching the FLU :D /s

You know the drill... long post ahead:

Recap of last month's progress

Recap of last week's stuff

Other IF stuff done or in the works

Other IF events

Plan for October

- _ -

September progress

The plan for last month was to:

continue to play and review games ✅ (just a few tho...)

finish the DOL-OS remaster ✅✅✅ just in time! also needed one more week from the planned date to finish it properly

continue a WIP or fix another semi-completed game: 😐 (see this week's progress)

add another block to the SugarCube Guide: ❌ (was planning to, but the illness)

- _ -

Last Week's progress

I pulled myself to the finish line by the hair at the end buuuut...

DOL-OS - THE REMASTERED VERSION IS NOW OUT!

It's now beautiful, bug free (i hope), with new content, and translated into English! First completed in a month, remastered almost within a month too!

If you liked it, consider leaving a little rating? or a comment?

Even if you don't care to play it, at least open the game once to check out the loading page :P

Also I have:

redone the intro post (if you could share it around, that'd be lovely)

wrote the extensive dev log

updated the Projects Status page

added the OG Comp Version of the source code on my GitHub

uploaded the OG Comp Version on the IFArchive (processing)

Unless there are raised bugs, this game is also going into the SHELF!

As mentioned in last Sunday's check in, I've gotten the new draft from MelS. It's over 20k words...

So I'm back to editing the file, going through the text and leaving comments. I was about 1/4 through before the illness arrived.

And MelS is continuing making progress on the final chapter in the meantime.

We've also been discussing the future release(s) and potential need for rewrite of the first chapters. MelS style had changed a bit, and he is worried the first chapters are too drastically different from the later ones. We might even get a few beta readers before the final release...

In my plan for September, I mentioned La Petite Mort to be probably the next remaster project I tackle on, with a potential translation release for the EctoComp.

I checked with the rules: translations are considered new works. 🥳 So we are looking at an EctoComp deadline, which is in a month.

So this week, I've gone through the code and:

mapped out the new map of the game (which will include more rooms)

listed the characters/NPC (a few new ones)

listed the different mechanics to (re-)code (esp the inventory)

listed the endings available (currently about 7, 2 are early endings)

listed the beats and actions for each room (more animal petting!)

The plan is to, in order:

Correct the current French writing

Add the new content (in French - about double what there is rn)

Re-code the game (+ accessibility settings)

Upload the French Remaster

Translate the Game into English

Add the translation inside the code

Submit to the EctoComp (depending on how long this takes, maybe I can achieve the La Petite Mort category again :P)

I'll also need to:

update the itch page of the game (right now it's too bland)

update the intro post of the game

Unsure yet:

add sound effect and background music...

Most importantly, the game is rated PG and will stay PG. It has some horror-y element, but more of the Hocus Pocus/Terry Pratchett kind than say... Saw or any Halloween slasher.

I will be taking down the itch page of the game closer to the reupload to check everything is in order.

With the IFComp starting soon, expect review over at @manonamora-if-reviews. Last year I managed about 30 before I tapped out (and I had submitted something). Let's see how I do this year!

I would like to try to knock a InkJam + Bare-Boned Jam + EctoComp (mini) entry at the end of October, since the theme of the Ink Jam is revealed at the start of the jam (23rd). One stone, two three birds and all that. And maybe revisit a short story I wrote when I was younger as a base... 🤔

- _ -

IF Events!!

October is filled with IF events, so this will be quite a list:

the voting period of the IFComp starts on October 1st until mid November. I think there are expecting over 50 games? I recommend waiting one-two days before voting, as there are often 1st day bug fixes (speaking from experience).

the Bare-Bones Jam organised by @neointeractives starts on October 1st and runs until the end of the month! It is unranked.

the EctoComp, the spooky IF ranked jam, starts on October 1st and ends on the 28th. There are two categories, and you can also submit in French or Spanish!

the InkJam is a 3-day ranked jam at the end of October, with a theme!

You'll be able to vote for the Spooktober entries in a few hours.

SeedComp! has started again, see @seedcomp-if (we've updated/cleared up some rules)

- _ -

The PLAN tm for October

Play and review more IF games: this one is kinda done before it started because of the IFComp. Also, someone submitted a few games. And there are a bunch on my To Play list both on the IFDB, itch, and the MOIKI Social Club.

finish the La Petite Mort remaster: I think I should be ok? The original LPM was done in 4h (in chunks over a week or so). I plan to essentially double the content, and fix coding issue. I don't really have to worry about the UI at all with this one.

either continue a WIP or fix another semi-completed game: that will be a check mark if MelS and I can make some good progress on the editing.

maybe try to add another block to the SugarCube Guide? I still have a list I could check down... Same with a template. It will heavily depend on the time I have.

(and maybe do an extra French entry for the EctoComp)

Taking the list of August...

To-Do not require much of new stuff:

translate Escape Goncharov! into French. ✅

fix the bugs in EDOC + overall the French version to match

fix the bugs of TRNT + find a way to add the missing pieces (mayyyybe translate into French?)

fix the formatting of DOL-OS + translate into English ✅

update LPM with the missing content + translate into English ✅ (ongoing)

The rest of the To-Do pile:

Finish The Rye in the Dark City (and maybe translate?)

Finish P-Rix - Space Trucker (and try to translate)

Finish Exquisite Cadaver (translation unlikely, current gameplay too complex to port for French)

Add a chapter to CRWL + fix/reopen the blog

Re-working TTTT to its originally planned state (lol, not likety)

Re-working SPS Iron Hammer (samesies)

Coding TTATEH (MelS dependent - shooting for end of year)

Emptying my inboxes

(I am pretty sure the focus for the rest of the year will be to finish the first list. With the addition of a few more small jam entries.)

And that about covers it!

#progress #update #checkin #dev log #dolos #ttateh #lpm #im sick as a dog #it's gotten worse #play my stuff to make me feel better?

Let’s talk about the return of Ao no Exorcist (ch133.1 & ch133.2)!

After a long hiatus, it came back last month! :D And I have some thoughts to share!

Rin as a diversion

To start with, it really struck me that Rin doesn’t seem emotionally involved in this fight. Not only does he see himself just as a diversion, but also, he doesn’t seem particularly invested in fighting against Satan, despite “kicking Satan’s butt” being his initial motivation back when the story started.

On the one hand, it shows his growth after he visited the path and realized that Satan’s madness, Yuri’s and Fujimoto’s deaths were more complicated than just being Satan’s fault. It also shows that he knows he’s now one part of the team designed to take Satan’s down and that he has to focus on his role.

On the other hand, this detachment might hide how conflicted he is about his own demon self? A part of him that he recently managed to tame and cage (using this side of his when he decides to), whereas the answer probably lies more into these two natures within him learning to coexist peacefully.

To be honest Rin kinda worries me in this fight, I hope he doesn’t pull a Yukio, now that Yukio’s doing better. Speaking of which...

Yukio’s openly trusting his allies

I AM SO HAPPY! I had predicted that Shura’s presence in the group was mostly so that Yukio would have someone he would accept to rely on and I’m even happier that Shura jokes around that he must be sick to admit he’s not 100% fine, all the while openly recognizing that mentally he’s doing better.

I love how mature she’s being despite the scene being hilariously crafted and I’m glad they had this genuine moment of apologizing to each other when Yukio, in particular, used to be openly angry at Shura for sometimes messing with him.

On top of relying on Shura, he also respected Neuhaus’ analysis of the situation, despite Neuhaus once being his enemy, which again shows that he’s doing a lot better, allowing himself to work with his allies instead of deciding to carry the burden solo (especially meaningful, considering that he thought Satan’s comeback was his fault, until Lightning refused to blame him).

Keep it up, Yukio! Hopefully, you’re going to be fine, my boy. ^3^

Lucy, Shima and the black flame

First of all, can I just say that Lucy is a true icon, as the older badass female warrior having the loyalty of black flame’s dragon demon?

TBH, I already addressed in the past that a lot of girl characters in Ao no Exorcist are given roles that would usually be given to guys in other Shonen series, which is a huge reason I’m so fond of Kato-sensei’s writing.

Between Shiemi who was “the main girl” but who turned out to be the mysterious ace no one knows the truth about, Shura as the mentor, Yuri as an intelligent woman who defeated her abuser and now Lucy, an older lady, as the badass warrior in charge, I enjoy that we’re allowed to see women being considered as strong and skilled as men.

I have no idea about the consequences of Satan’s attack on her...

...but hopefully she’s going to survive, because she’s way too awesome to pass away right now (also still want her at some point to say to the twins that they “truly are Yuri Egin’s kids”).

That being said, now that she’s possibly injured and thus out of the fight...

...Maybe Shima will be forced to take over, wielding another strong demon kin of the black flame category, seeing how useful they are against the Illuminati?

Satan’s an ass who deserves to be sealed away

Hopefully, this part isn’t anything new to anyone who’s been reading this series for a while.

Though I would just like to point out that, since destroying everything but his vessel is “the greatest joy”, clearly it’s yet another proof that Satan never loved Yuri and only saw her as relevant as long as she could provide him with whatever he wanted.

Again, that’s nothing new, but since there used to be some Satan/Yuri shippers in the fandom, I always love to point out that he’s a textbook abusive asshole who deserves to go down. :D

By the way, special mention to the King of Insects

Yeah kudos to Beelzebub for having a super cool introduction a few chapters ago only to become quite lame in this one, lmao. xDD

Finally, let’s talk about the greatest disaster to happen soon

AKA, "Shadow must bow before the strength of light”...

Truly, I loved Arthur’s incredible show of strength at the end of the chapter. However, if that doesn’t scream that he’s going to become a wonderful and strong vessel for Lucifer, at this point I don’t know what does. :/

I’d like to point out that for now the battle seems to be in favor of the True Cross’ Knights only because the first defeat is near, probably when Lucifer manages to possess Arthur and very probably beat the shit out of our dear King of Time who will then lose his vessel (how symbolic, when Arthur openly hates Mephisto).

At this point, Shiemi will probably become unable to seal Satan away without Mephisto, leading to the True Cross Order failing for now as the Illuminati will stand strong with both Satan and Lucifer inhabiting almost invulnerable vessels. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Prepare for the worst, fellow AnE fans, it will come soon... (actually I can’t wait). :D

As always, loved it! See you guys soon!!

stray thoughts after finishing 13 sentinels

back to the mystery files. Why is the game seperating chihiro morimura from chihuro morimura (1 loop ago) and chihiro morimura (2 loops ago). Wait. Unless. I think i figure out what confused me, remember how i couldn't tell if nurse morimura was morimura -2 who died shifting ida -1 to the current loop because she has all her memories, or if she was morimura -1 who 426 izumi killed but who is the right age to reunite with ida on sumire bridge? Well if they both died and she had data saved to sector 0 maybe she was recreated... Which means there were SIX MORIMURAS: 2188, -2, -1, Iori, child who then got 2188's memories, and the morimura recreated from -2. But thats the only explanation that explains the inconsistencies and why the game files events in 3 separate categories when other characters like izumi -2 gets all of 426, fluffy, and shiba's scenes listed under one character. I'm going to look this up. Ok yeah nurse morimura was the ai of -2 morimura but why did she look 16 in the sumire bridge reunion? And not only that she acts like she's 16 thats what threw me off i wonder if when they wrote this scene they didnt know yet which morimura she was. Yeah and in that scene she doesn't recognize ida or know what a sentinel is and is just confused to be 16 years in the past. I still dont get this scene.

Grandma tamal got deleted!! That's why she didn't show up. Hmm so the 1944 tamao is considered the true one and the 1985 one was an AI which means if the compatible shifted before the kaiju attacks they would have also deleted the older ai selves (ex: natsuno in 2064 would have deleted older natsuno). 20 million years since humanity's extinction 2188 ryoko wrote the d-code. Ida spread dd-426 because he wanted the sentinels to fail and the world to be reset faster. "The nurturing of the 15 members started once the terraforming of the new planet was completed" 300+ loops have passed huh so they were stuck in the pods not killed and reborn each time that answers that question. I was wondering about the probes, so each probe can do this, rhen theoretically this entire story is playing out thousands of times across the universe.

There might have been 6 morimuras but -2 izumi juro was the one going by 426, eirika aiba/tamaobot, tomibot, shippo/fluffy, shiba kyuta, 6 names/identities. I went and looked it up and for the scene "Reunion" that was -2 Morimura's data that -2 Okino saved which was her 16 year old self. That still doesn't explain how current Morimura got -2 Morimura's memories though because she definitely acts like she has -2 Morimura's memories and sees them as her own memories instead of events that happened to someone else.

!3 Sentinels has good writing, it was consistently strong with no real low points. The strongest part of the game was probably the beginning right after the prologues as things start clicking together. A few places in the story clunked, but overall it was really well done, just a well made well written game.

I found the combat to be surprisingly fun. I've only dabbled in RTS games before so I came in pretty new to this style of game and ended up liking the combat. The game does a good job of easing new players in while gradually building up the difficulty and it has challenge maps for players that want to get deep into the combat.

My main complaint would be that there's too much romance, but that isn't the game's fault, I just generally don't like romance and am very picky. So sometimes I just wanted to skip past the romance and get back to the stuff I was interested in like the story. I felt some of the couples lacked chemistry, like they failed to sell me on the romance. Juro and Megumi happened so last minute after for the entire game Juro's feelings are ambiguous like him feeling the love Izumi Juro felt is only ever brought up in Megumi's last scene, and Megumi the entire game is in love with the erased Izumi Juro, so the romantic development between the two of them felt sudden. My biggest problem was probably with Yuki and Shu, it really just felt like he was harassing her the entire game, she showed like no interest. Like I get she has a tough personality but it came off as that old trope that as long as he's persistent enough the guy can get the girl. Which is such a shame because girlboss and her boytoy is such a fun dynamic but I don't like how it was done in this game. I found Iori's love at first sight plot rather cringe but it was funny having her entire story be about chasing him around the city while having no clue about the events happening.

Romance is central to the game however and I don't think it could ever be taken out. Romance is used by the game to create character foils between the characters and especially the various characters that are genetically identical. Both the Hijiyamas and Okinos both in 2188 and in the current loop fall in love with each other. The Morimura and Izumi of 2188 were a couple as were the Morimura and Izumi of 2 loops ago. Juro with both his new and old personality of the current loop however both come to love Yakushiji. While Iori falls for Ei. 2188 Ida manipulated Shinonome's infatuation for him just like how Ida of one loop ago uses current loop Ryoko's crush on him so that she's an obedient and convenient pawn. Ida himself meanwhile is primarily driven by his obsessive love towards the Kisaragi of the previous loop. The current loop Shu and Tomi both fall in love with other people however. The different romantic choices highlight how those characters are different from their other versions.

I probably would have disliked it just as much, but I do want to talk about how things could have turned out differently however as it is in line with the game's theme of alternate but equally viable possibilities. For example Juro could have fallen in love with neither Megumi nor Iori thus highlighting how he is different from every other previous version of Juro. Especially since both 2188 Izumi and the one from 2 loops ago view Megumi more as a daughter figure. Ei and Ryoko could have been written as a romantic instead of platonic and familial, which would have been interesting given how Ryoko spends a good chunk of the story convinced he is 426 because she has forgotten that she was the one that infected the sentinels with DD-426. Or otherwise it could have been Ryoko and Shu to highlight how different a person Shu is to Ida given how Ryoko expresses attraction to him. Or Iori could have fallen in love with Yuki which would have been very different from any of the Morimuras, or Renya who had a crush on Morimura. Really if the devs hadn't decided to make Yuki and Natsume genetically family, it could have been a childhood friends romance. Or there could have been something between Juro and Shu, they're friends despite juro being really weird between the memory manipulation and the Shiba but Shu sticks with him throughout, they're part of the weird dream club, and Juro's whole deal could have been the thing to break the tedium and boredom of Shu's life.

Tamao as a character really got the short end of the stick story wise. She had so much going on from being a compatible who is childhood friends with Keitaro and Takatoshi, to Tamao from one loop ago being turned into a Sentinel AI and then an android who was active in Sector 4 during the events of the game before getting body jacked by 426, and then there's Juro's grandma. Tamao of 1 loop ago is also responsible for creating Juro's new personality. There was so much going on with her but her role in the story ended up being very small so while she's referenced by the characters I think she only actually shows up for like 4 scenes.

One thing I really liked was how morally ambiguous the Morimuras were. Professor Morimura from 2188 was partly responsible for the nanomachine plague that wiped out humanity she also planned for her own resurrection where she would become the leader of the new humanity, and after her memories awaken in child Chihiro she plots to destroy the current loop to have a more advantageous start where she can control things better and to this end she kills the other Morimura for having an opposing agenda. Nurse Morimura herself does a number of dubious things like wiping the current loop's Izumi Juro, attempting to recreate the Izumi of 2 loops ago with him. She also attempts to take over Iori to gain compatibility. For the longest time it remains ambiguous what she is doing to Ryoko, whether she is actually trying to help her or to turn her into a puppet. Then there's Operation Aegis itself which would by cutting off Universal Control wipe out the 1.2 million AI residents of the city as well as dooming all the compatible to living the rest of their lives in the ruins of the city.

I liked a lot of the moral ambiguity in general, that for much of the game I was doubting the intentions of many of the characters from Renya, to Morimura, Ida, 426 as well as all the 2188 people involved in Project Arc. Izumi of 2 loops ago really is the definition of well intentioned extremist, I like how the audience is able to see him trial and erroring different solutions. First he tries bombing Shikishima to try and stop the technology being Deimos, then he tries killing all the compatible to stop D-code from sending the invasion signal, then he tries to sever D-code from the compatible which causes brain damage. Eventually he decides to modify the system and bring back the gamification in the simulation's code (exploiting 2188 Okino's sloppy coding the same way 2188 Shinonome did) allowing both Sentinels and Deimos to upgrade, and he does this by manipulating Megumi into shooting the compatible with a patch update to their nanomachine code.

The aesthetics of this game are superb the visuals and art direction are amazing and so is the soundtrack, it all just works so well together.

On a personal level I found Shinonome Ryoko to be annoying, like girl stop chasing the man who clearly cares nothing about you and is just using you. But I did find her story to be very interesting between the mental breakdowns, loss of identity, and how large a role she plays. Ryoko spends the entire story trying so hard and she usually just ends up making things worse, it's great! It's also interesting how most of the plot stuff she does happens in other character's routes, while in her own she's already largely forgotten everything already. I did enjoy watching her snap and shoot Ida dead.

I really liked Yuki which is probably part of why I was disappointed with her romance, she also just seems to attract girls which amuses me. She deserves to send more dudes to the hospital. She spend her entire story with so much pressure first with Ida threatening her only family, and then her dear friend Natsuno goes missing and she's being stalked by an imposter.

Megumi's story was my least favorite. The only part I really liked were the Fluffy/426 reveals at the end. gave her a magical girl story and then made it boring.

Miura's my favorite character, in all his iterations he's just trying so hard for others. He's earnest, curious, contemplative, and determined. I liked the parallels of how 2188 Miura liked history while 1944 Keitaro liked science fiction.

Nenji is surprisingly smart, it's funny when he and Hijiyama are in the same scene because between the two of them Nenji ends up being the smart one. his route gets the distinction of being the only actual time loop, kinda. it was trippy, i liked it although the timed events meant i messed up a lot.

Iori's most interesting for her contrasts and connections to the other 5 morimuras her own story is just her chasing a boy she has a crush on while having no idea what is going on, disappointing but also amusing fom a conceptual standpoint.

Tomi and Natsuno are both characters I like with stories I liked, charming. The reveals for both were well paced and exciting.

Juro does better than Iori because i found how many different parties are all trying to influence his mind interesting, everyone wants something from him from megumi who wants her boyfriend back, to morimura trying to turn him into 426 izumi, to 426 izumi himself who was the one that salvaged his mind. The one part I didn't like was the sudden romance with megumi where all of a sudden in the last scene of megumi's story.

Takatoshi was one of my favorite routes mostly because watching okino interact with him is one of the most entertaining parts of this game. Props to the game for 2188 hijiyama and okino being very explicitly lovers like there's no ambiguity there that the homophobes can latch on to and say they were just friends.

gouto's story was just 2188 morimura chihiro's story, it was good but it wasn't about him at all so he's the least developed character of the bunch.

I really like shu, his story was alright but i think it could have been better. part of this is that his route on its own isn't a complete story you only find out the deal with the mysteries like the 30km limit and inaba miyuki in other routes and the ending. while his kindness and generosity shows through on other stories, i think his own could have shown his ennui better. that he and ida are clones was a good aspect to his character i liked that twist.

while ei as a person is meh for me i did like both his story and his role in other character's stories, partly because of how different they are. His own story is a mystery as he tries to figure out what he was doing before which isn't helped by him having changed his mind mid way, lot of plotting and scheming by multiple parties which I love. Ei in other character stories plays a completely different role however as this is before he loses his memories and thus is a very active agent in the plots of sector 4. His romance with iori was boring but i can't say it was the worst or even in the bottom half. those two would have been more interesting not becoming a couple but i say that about most couples in this game.

For combat I liked the difficulty progression in that it starts off very forgiving for new players and then steadily ups the difficulty. I started out scared because i didn't have a lot of experience with real time strategy on casual but it was really easy so i went to normal but that was still easy so i went to intense and that was still pretty easy. and then the game got much harder, i could have beat the game on intense but by the final level combat was taking up so much time and i wasn't first time s-rank and getting side objectives about half the time and i wanted to focus on story so i went back to normal and breezed through. it took me so long to figure out 1st and 2nd gen sentinels so my main tactics involved the 3rd gen and some 4th gen, they got to level 25 first. i tried to balance exp gain and finished the game around 27-31. i good chunk of my tactics was railgun + missile rain as they were the best at crowd control and wow it got crowded on intense. only unlocked the super missile at the end and wow that thing is powerful. I had yuki span aoes to spot the areas the 3rd gens hadn't killed, amiguchi was a mix of offense and support, and gouto and yakishiji were interceptor bots. hijiyama was useless for so long because i didn't know how to use him but then i found his passives and had him emp spam the entire map to keep heat off the 3rd gen. i mostly had sekigahara anti air flare for half the game because i didn't know how to use him either. it took me a while to figure out how to deal with gladiators and that's how 2nd gen found their niche. then shinonome unlocked cyberattack.

And another ask for the character thing. Your headcanons for Trevor Belmont :D

Trevor Belmont

1: sexuality headcanon

As Sex in the City put it, Trevor is try-sexual... as in, he'll try anything once.

On a more serious note however, I think he'd only really be attracted to someone who was capable and could take care of themselves. Otherwise they'd just be in the "to be protected and/or can be safely ignored" category", neither of which would be conductive to a strong romantic or sexual attachment.

2: otp

Adrian/Sypha/Trevor... again, of course! I mean, Trephacard is just great. Great chemistry together, they each know when to be there and when to step back and they just... fit together. Each of them has something to contribute to the partnership, and they are stronger together. What else can anyone ask?

3: brotp

With Greta! Which is the easy way out, maybe? I do see her as the awesome bff for all of them, thanks in no small part to your stories... but really, they are alike in a pragmatic, straightforward kins of way, aren't they? I really do see them clicking fast (though Greta would probably learn about who he is first from Adrian's and Sypha's stories at the tail end of S4)

4: notp

Eeh... I don't know, St. Germain, maybe?

...

Ok, yes, now that I see it down on the page. That's a hard pass for me, I just can't see it happening in a non-crack way 😅

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

That he lost some vision on the scarred eye due to the injury not being properly treated, but that he has learned to compensate. It's not so much of an issue in fights, but for mundane tasks like reading or cooking it can get distracting.

6: favorite line from this character

"Killing you was the point. Living through it was just a luxury."

If that doesn't completely encapsulate where he stood at the start of the series, I don't know what would T-T

7: one way in which I relate to this character

Maybe how difficult it is for him to trust, and yet he still does it, because the alternative is being alone so the reward is worth the risk.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

That bar fight in the first episode 😆 yes, I know, that's the point but Trevor, my man, you're gonna fight Dracula in a season and a half, what are you doing fighting thugs and badly at that 😂

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

He was the cinammon roll of the Belmont clan, but then there was a long and extended Break the Cutie period. So know the sweetness is only deep down on the inside 😁

#ask game #castlevania #trevor belmont #headcanon #otp headcanons #thanks for the ask!

The first summer Sally would experience after the bombs fell and her unfortunate time in the vault wasn’t the best experience of her life. She needed to cool off. In more ways than one.

MASTERLIST | <- Previous | Next ->

The first summer Sally would experience after the bombs fell and her unfortunate time in the vault wasn’t the best experience of her life. The summer was unforgiving and unbearably scorching, unlike in her previous world. In the back of her mind, she knew the summer was going to be a hot one, the winter wasn’t cold nor cool and she could feel the temperature slowly rise over the spring. But this heat wave came out of nowhere. A few days prior she still wore her Generals uniform and thick amour with no issue, well, little issue. The lack of pollution in the sky caused the rays of the sun to feel like blades over her skin, she could feel every pore on her body drip with sweat and with no freezer or fridge, she was left to overheat – and it wasn’t even midday.

She tried to stay in her newly built home in Sanctuary, but the thick wooden walls held in the heat. Sally decided it was time to head outside, she prayed for a breeze to float over her damp skin and cool her down – but there was none. She pushed herself off her bed and headed to her door – grabbed an unopened can of fresh water – she threw the door open and squinted at the strong white light of the sun. “Fuck” she hissed, quickly shaded her sensitive eyes with her hand and stepped onto the sidewalk. Walking outside was worse, the air felt thicker and the rays burnt her skin. She walked slowly through the street, wearing a tight pair of shorts and a thin light pink vest, she would never want to be this exposed in the Commonwealth, danger is around the corner even in her safe haven – however she couldn’t stand being trapped in anything else.

Sally hated dresses, despite the familiarity of them from before the war, she still couldn’t bring herself to wearing one. Snapping out of her thoughts, she automatically turned down the street and took a sharp left, towards the old rotting bridge between Sanctuary and the hill that held Vault 111. She slowly passed by a guard tower and turret that protected the back of her home and waved lazily at the guard, who wore his uniform and protective gear despite the weather. 'Crazy idiot,' she thought to herself.

Sally dragged her feet over towards the light bubbling of the brook, she wanted, no, needed to cool off – rads be damned, she needed the water over her skin. Unknowing to her, Sturgers broke their new industrial water-pump, leaving the inhabitants and her without fresh, clean, rad-free water since yesterday afternoon, only finding out that morning. If she’d known, she would have saved a few buckets before the unclean water found its way through the pipes. The thought of using a few cans of water crossed her mind, but she didn’t want to waste drinking water, she needed them for hydration. She slowly reached the water’s edge and she bent down to take off her boots, unlacing the strings and placing them neatly on a nearby rock, along with her can of fresh water. She took in a deep breath, feeling lightheaded, placing her right toes into the water – a deep and rather sensual sigh escaped her lips. Stepping down into the water, she placed her other foot into the cold and refreshing water – she could feel her blood slowly cool under her skin and her lips drew into a smile. Sally pushed a few loose ginger strands from her sticky face and bent down towards the water. She let her fingers roll through the somewhat clear water and she closed her eyes – letting the ripples flow through her fingers. “Fuck it” She whispered to herself. She looked around and saw she was still in clear view of the guard post. Leaving her boots but taking her water, she walked through the river away from Sanctuary; feeling small rocks under her toes and the water slowly rise up her calves. A few moments later she found she was completely alone and out of view, but without a weapon or protection, she felt venerable – but the heat caused her to not care. She’s rather be cool and herself than an overheated mess. The water slowly began to rise up over her legs, the water was cold and refreshing and Sally still smiled.

She looked around again and bit her bottom lip, quickly checking her surroundings again, she placed her water can on the bank and quickly reached for her vest – pulling the loose fabric over her head, exposing her breasts to the world. She’d been skinny-dipping once before, even before she met Nate, and her mind flashed to her youth and she laughed lightly. She’d been in this new world for long enough now that her memories didn’t haunt her anymore, they made her laugh not cry. Stepping out of the water, she placed her vest on the rocks and slowly pushed her shorts over her hips and down to the floor, leaving her in only her white underwear. Sally stretched her arms over her head and slowly stepped back into the water, rising now above her hips, she bent her knees and submerged herself and let the water flow over her shoulders, where the liquid grabbed the tips of her curly hair and weighing it down over her pale back. She was cool now and her mind felt free.

MacCready didn’t mind the heat, but today was one of those hotter days that reminded him of his time back in the Capitol Wasteland, he’d only been in the Commonwealth now for 2 years but the summer and heat tugged at his chest in a familiar and unsettling way. He’d already abandoned his signature hat and tan duster jacket and scarf; he wore only his vest and trousers, the heat wasn’t overly uncomfortable, he was still human. He and Sally hadn’t been on the road for a few days, but since their last trip – Sally refused to leave – saying she’s pass out from the heat. He knew she couldn’t walk around Sanctuary without feeling dizzy. He gave her the benefit of the doubt, she wasn’t used to the temperature, and she complained about it the entire journey to and from Diamond City. He found himself somewhat enjoying her complaining for once, she never did – she was too nice and kind and always thought of others before herself.

But since she said goodbye to her son and blowing up the Institute, he’d seen her personality change. She became more carefree and started to think of herself a bit more – so she complained about everything. Thinking of her made him smile – he started to grow more intimate feelings towards her, ever since they were caught off guard by Riders a few weeks ago. They found protection in a, rather small, closet in a long-forgotten building and he found himself pushed close to her. He could feel her breath on his neck and her body against his. Her body, he thought. They found their faces almost touching and despite the near darkness he could, for the first time, see her. It took all the strength in his body not to get turned on, since her hips were positioned directly against his groin and twitching cock, she’d feel him and he’d just shoot himself through embarrassment. Since then he found himself stumbling over words and becoming hot under the collar. She noticed and teased him, since that’s what they did. But it didn’t help one bit. He’d never found anyone attractive or have any feelings since Lucy, he didn’t like having feels for his ex-boss now friend, but he knew as a young man – it would happen. But it still left him feeling unsure and confused.

He’d wanted to be close to her, he loved how they seemed to be similar, both left alone in the world without someone to hold anymore. Both saw their love being taken from this world, both would do, or have done, anything for their children. MacCready got word that Duncan didn’t make it a few months back. All the hard work they endured in the research lab was a waste, he was too late. But in the end, Sally was there for him. She comforted him, soothed his mind, she held him and watched him cry – just as much as he did for her. They both needed each other, now they’re connected through soul and emotion; he knew there was only the physical left.

MacCready shifted in the chair, he could feel warmth grow through his stomach and it had nothing to do with the heat. He needed to move, he’d been sat too long. Leaving behind his clothes on the rusted table, he grabbed his sniper rifle and threw it over his back – stepping out into the sun and jumping over the last bit of white picket fence behind the house Sally kindly offered to him. He pushed his way through the dry shrubbery and hopped down the hill towards the river. He walked passed the guard post, clocking eyes, he nodded in response and climbed up the sharp hill – going to his usual route high behind Sanctuary. He ran his fingers through his thick strawberry blonde hair and wiped his brow – 'Fuc-freaking hell it is hot,' he thought to himself. Nevertheless he kept walking, thinking of Sally and wondering where she was and how she was coping. He smiled to himself, feeling that warmth grow back in his stomach. He looked down at his feet, kicking a small stone along the path he’d somewhat personal made, but today, he felt adventurous and decided to walk in the other direction, counter-clockwise.

Despite the height, he could hear the gentle sounds of the water flowing down stream below. When suddenly, he saw something move in the water, he stopped in his tracks and lent behind a thick tree in his path. MacCready took his gun from his shoulder and rested on the thick rough tree, bringing the scope to his eye – peering through the glass, his blue eye caught the one thing he’d never thought he’d see – Sally marching though the water. She was standing there, in a rather, tight, very tight, outfit. He wanted to look away, but he couldn’t. Her pale skin and bright ginger hair shimmered in the light, she looked like one of those faded Pin-Ups he’s seen on the Nuka-Cola posters, she had pre-war curves and that was foreign to the usual women of this new world. He dropped his vision from the scope and realised he could still see plenty, each detail on her, despite the distance. He knew she wouldn’t see him, his training as a sniper made him undetectable, he could be still for hours, waiting, watching. He watched as she looked around, looking nervous for a split second until he saw her bite her lip – MacCready liked that. He knew she had a terrible habit of biting her lips, it did turn him on, even if he would deny it to himself. He could see her thinking about what to do next, the sweat on his brow dripped down his temple as he watched her, ‘What am I doing?’ He thought to himself, ‘She’s your friend!’ His mind screamed, but yet his eyes couldn’t look away. Before he knew it, she slowly removed her top – revealing her soft and perky breasts to him. He felt a sigh leave his lips, his cock twitched in his trousers, his stomach knotted. His memory took a mental photograph of her- he wanted to remember everything, her slightly hard light pink nipples, the beautiful roundness of her boobs, they were bigger than that he’d thought – he’d looked, but she always wore so many layers, they covered her up. He was grateful for the heat, since she started to wear less and less. Even though it’d only been a few days, it felt like the best few days of his life. She then stood out of the water and slowly hooked her thumbs into the fabric of her shorts and pushed it down to the floor – he scanned her body, the curvature of her hips and the soft flesh of the stomach. His cock was growing harder and he hissed when he gently pushed against the tree. Fuck, fuck, fuck. MacCready knew he was in deep now – past the point of no return – he’d always she her like this now. He felt the world go in slow motion as he watched her slowly step back into the water, seeing her hair cling to her skin and shine in the sun. But for the first time in ages, he could see her face relax.

He could feel his fingers grip tighter around his gun turning white with pressure, his vest was now sticking to his back from sweat – his cock was screaming for her. He pictured her underneath him – pale skin glistening with sweat, her long ginger hair fanned behind her, she would bite her lip again and he would come undone for her. He watched her glide in the water, every now and then come out of the water and rub the water over her skin. He took more mental images of her back, how it curved and he could see her spine poke out, two dimples on her lower back just above her underwear. God, what he’d give to see her out of it, fully naked. He could feel his muscles scream at him, despite his training, all the blood pooled in his stomach and throbbing cock.

Sally let her mind wander as she sat in the refreshing water, she felt a little horny knowing how exposed she was to the world. She bit her lip once again and slowly let her hand drift to her breast, she gently brushed her wet fingers over her now hard nipple – she gasped at the touch. Her mind suddenly thought of her partner, MacCready, her eyes shot open and she jumped out of the water a little. Oh no! Her mind screamed – she’d never thought of him in this way before, sort of. She could feel her cheeks flush and a warmth in her stomach, she sat still and thought about it. She had found him a little attractive, he was very skilled with a weapon. She had found herself, more than once, watching his hands work and she noticed her mouth get dry as she thought of those hands over her body. She did also wonder how he was under all that clothing, too. Was he a scrawny little thing or was he hiding something more? She set aside her naughty thoughts and let her mind ponder again. It had been ages since she had sex, she’d been in the Commonwealth now for around 9 months. Her mind was too busy to think of anyone in a sexual way, she’d pleasured herself once or twice but she was always distracted, on the move or never in the mood. Until now.

She did enjoy MacCready’s company, they’d share stories and laugh at with other – they flirted and teased like it was the end of the world, but she’d never really thought of being with him sexually. He was her best-friend, besides Piper. Unknowingly, she adored practically everything about him – she never realised, she did liked him a lot – now maybe more than a friend. Sally thought harder and did remember of one rather interesting dream she had a few weeks after she blew up the Institute. Maybe she didn’t feel pressure anymore and finally was able to move on with her family and dead husband. She sighed, knowing the dream was her subconscious telling her something – she smiled and thought back to MacCready, testing her body – slowly letting her hand drift back to her exposed nipples, she brushed the pink flesh harder and she felt a bolt of electricity strike through to her core, and most importantly, her clit. That answered her question, maybe she did like him that way. She didn’t want to touch herself intimately in the water, she knew she would to deal with it later, but later now seemed too far away – so she removed her hand from her breast and sank back below the water’s surface.

Sally finally felt relaxed and cooled, she felt human again and not a slow roast. Once she felt fully satisfied, she slowly stepped out of the water and picked up her clothes from the water’s edge and got dressed, pulling her shorts over her wet panties and her vest back over her breasts. She grabbed her water and slowly drank it down, feeling the cool liquid in her stomach; she sighed loudly and began to head back to Sanctuary, with MacCready on her mind.

MacCready desperately wanted to move, both for the sake of his body but also to run and grab Sally, pull her out of the water and kiss her hard. But he knew it couldn’t do either. His erection was hurting, he could feel his pre-cum seep out and dampen his underwear. His mind ticked over about what she was thinking, she was just floating there. Until she moved, he could see her hand slowly graze over her breast and she jumped – causing him to as well. Luckily she didn’t notice, and she stopped for a moment then when back to massaging her nipple and breast. He’d given anything to know what she was thinking about, was it him? He prayed she was, and now he thought about taking that nipple in his mouth, letting his tongue roll over the pink nub as she called his name. He’d tease and use his teeth gently, scraping over her skin and he’d sooth the roughness with kisses. Fuck, fuck, fuck, his mind repeated. He pictured her on his lap, his hands rubbing up and down her back, as she’d arch into his face, pushing her soft mounds to him. He snapped back out of his thoughts, and noticed she was exiting the water – grabbing her stuff and getting dressed. No, he thought. He didn’t want this to end. He watched her every step she took until she disappeared down the river out of view.

Once he knew he was safe, he let go of his gun, dropping it to the ground, and felt his fingers tingle with life – he didn’t realise the blood loss till his fingers shook. He turned and lent back on the tree, however his legs gave out from underneath him and he landed on the tough ground. His breathing was deep and heavy, his brow dripped and his mind was swimming.

He badly wanted to relieve his cock of this pressure, but he knew he couldn’t. Not here. With his last strength, he stood and threw his gun over his shoulder and walked as fast as he could back – seeing his house in view, he let out a sharp sigh, he palmed his cock through his trousers and he felt his vision become blurry. ‘Nearly there,’ he thought. He knew he couldn’t jump the fence, not with this hard on; already each step was torture – he took in a deep breath and carried on. Once he was in the shadow of his house he realised he wasn’t breathing. He took one last long stride into his home and stopped dead in his tracks, his head shot up and, standing a few steps ahead, was the woman he just saw naked and pure.
