Crescent City - Tharion Ketos NSFW
I love himbos healthy amount, also he is Greek cause I say so
A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex): he honestly just wants to lay around with you and be lazy, he'll cling to you and keep you close and begrudgingly with a lot of pouting and whining might bring you some water if you ask
B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s): he is obviously very proud of his body and generally his looks he is specifically really proud of his abs, would love it if you showed your appreciation for his abs by riding them. on his partner he loves thighs, always keeping a hand on your thigh squeezing or simply drawing circles up and down feeling the muscles beneath or enjoying the softness of your skin
C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person): did someone order a creampie? 
D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs): i totally think that if there is one character who'd be into group sex, it would be tharion, especially a threesome ,another man? he is game! another woman? absolutely! he doesn’t mind sharing when he knows you’ll both be enjoying yourselves, its almost a game for him to show you how much better he can fuck you
E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?): definitely not as much experience as he’d like, especially considering the whole ordeal with the river queen’s daughter
F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual): you riding him, where he can have free access to all of your body, watching you move against him guiding you and praising you breathlessly
G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc): loves having you laugh in the middle of sex, its so boring if you two can't have fun and relax with each other, so he’ll purposefully tickle you and groan when you tighten around him 
H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.): i think he is pretty hairless considering he is a mer
I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…): not really romantic, but he is a cheesy flirt and that doesn't stop while you two are intimate, he can't stop complimenting you, throwing out cheesy nicknames and one liners
J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon): loves mutual masturbation, watching you or you watching him, he puts a big show , moaning and throwing his head back his eyes low lidded and intense pleading for your touch
K = Kink (One or more of their kinks): threesomes, exhibitionism, edging etc
L = Location (Favourite places to do the do): he is not very shy about where he'd like to have you, loves the thrill of someone possibly seeing you two, won’t put you two in danger but if you are caught he isn’t that quick on getting off of you
M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going): teasing each other, he loves a good game of chase, loves flirting the entire day, maybe a bit of sexting, some edging as you wait for the night where you can reunite and have some actual fun
N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs): he has a really low pain tolerance and while doesn’t mind being talked down to, hates degradation
O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc): sit on his face and he is a happy man, loves feeling your thighs shake on his shoulders as he pleases you
P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.): really depends, likes having you set the pace and goes with whatever you want of him
Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.): loves them, wants you to come to him already ready for him, just guide him somewhere more secluded and let him show you a good time
R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.): again, it depends on you, he likes exploring and experimenting but also won’t push much if you are vanilla, might tease you a bit but its all in good fun
S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…): kind of lazy, one very high energy and long round and maybe one or two shorter low energy ones 
T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?): loves toys, might jokingly complain about you wishing to replace him but he really likes the opportunity of spicing up your bedroom activities with some extra toys
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease): insufferable ,he teases you so much and likes being teased back, loves edging in particular
V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make): surprisingly quiet, grunts and groans and even growls but otherwise for someone so talkative he knows how to keep his mouth shut
W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice): wouldn’t mind letting you take control every now and then, likes being put in his place //peg him
X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words): really long and it flushes as red as his hair
Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?): really high sex drive but almost always waits for you to initiate
Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards): he is very clingy when he sleeps and if he could afford to sleep all day he would do so, especially with you in his arms, he will whine and complain if you try to move away

PHIOOOOOOO you should tell me about yor littol shadow guy........I think they r silly....and purrhaps my oc Castaway and him share a few characteristics.....
CRAP CRAP I FORGOT TO ANSWER THIS AND I JUST REMEMBERED I AM SO SORRY SHSANDJSJXJ
feelo... first off they use any pronouns! second of all, theyre a very shy type — theyve lived in the woods away from society for very long, until the moomin-crew discovers them
they actually play the flute!! cause im not sure if youve seen the post about my ancient flute alarm but its the only thing that can wake me up, so i decided to include it into his character HAHAHA if castaway plays anything, maybe theyd play together huhu
he doesnt speak much at first (or maybe doesnt speak at all? im unsure), but i have lots of arc ideas for the future if i ever make comics for him!! if you look back at my og post there were a few comic panels showing him lowering the scarf around his neck and her hoodie, with the episode title "Under the Hood" — it signifies a core part of her arc that i have no time to explain JABSHABD
some more fun facts, at some point she sets up shop (well, more like a tiny vendor stall) in the woods where she sells little trinkets and advice for a few cents or a cool rock HAHAHA they store their things in their little bucket for safe keeping and pulls them out when necessary (e.g. they grab a minnow out of it and just start eating it as a snack)
going back to them speaking, if they do end up not speaking, id like to imagine they speak through drawings in a notebook, so its just a game of pictionary whenever theyre around HABSAHHA itd be funny to see people try to piece together what theyre saying as they grow more and more annoyed and the drawings get messier
anyways thats all! id love to hear about your little guy 👀👀 we can ask eachother questions and take turns! (and if you rp... ive been waiting to do a moomins rp for a while huhuhu)

everything i said about r/place (and my thoughts)
sobbb im on r/place and so theres like. shego from kim possible (i think) that people were drawing but then other ppl who were horny decided 'i want to see her naked on this public canvas' and they got overrun?? i mean like if you want porn of characters then ok but do it in private, away from public areas??. isnt kim possible like a kids show?? and its horribly disrespectful to the fans and probably literally any innocent person stumbling upon it because its PUBLIC, or like maybe even streamers (as much as they suck because some have been targeting innocent fandoms like genshin?? IT WAS SO PRETTY and now its covered) getting in trouble because its getting so detailed now its dumb ughhh ^^ future add on to this. dude she wasnt gone they made a smaller one. and i found it by accident because i was looking at the oshi no ko contributions and nearby it was HER. undressed. SOB
(of a question about what people on r/place think of streamers) I don't really like streamers on r/place, it seems like everytime they're mentioned it's in a negative context because they sent their fans to ruin other peoples stuff. I mean I enjoy them as entertainment and stuff, but I never like it when they attack others. And as a person whose committed so much time and effort to build a corner with my community, seeing others just attack it for seemingly no reason (or even them just targeting memorials because they can.. extreme but it has happened. today.) is painful, it hurts and it really sucks because all that effort goes down the drain, and if you don't have a template then you're screwed. It just sucks that streamers tend to be the ones who cause a lot of destruction for their own gain, and on the way stomp on a lot of other people's care and joy. And the only streamers who probably do good, carving out their own corner just like us and not actually harming anyone are probably never heard of because they don't do anything. It sucks that we notice the negative more then the good, but what can you do?
i have a lot of pent up anger still on r/place but like. DUDE. fucking. xqc??? like okay, he's gonna void everything, so what (at least its not near omori thank fuck. also he failed) but then hes targeting memorials??. and im genuinely so pissed right now what the hell he targeted the turkey flag (which i don't really care about that much? its stupid how many flags are taking up so much space on the canvas), unknowingly ruined ataturks memorial on the flag (he called it a temple. which, yeah. okay. you couldnt really tell unless you knew but it was still a memorial? and yeah ataturk is apparently controversial but still?) and then there was lola (...a twelve year old.) on the french flag. he KNEW about it and still ruined it, and then when ppl went against him was going on and on about how there was already a memorial, that it would be shown on like the timelapses and stuff and it wouldnt be permanent anyway, comparing it to like, his grandpa, and put a single black pixel down as a 'memorial'. and then when someone got rid of it went about how we were the same? like. there are always disrespectful and rude people, you cant just believe that a single persons action equal to everyone elses, because there will always be someone who acts out. and also what the hell? i genuinely feel so disrespected on behalf of everyone rn just ughhh
my ranting tends to be negative often but r/place was really fun, and im not active a lot with other servers, but i was sucked into it by the omori discord, and it was generally really fun. even if everytime i woke up, it was to a shit ton of pings that lagged out my laptop
i saved photos of the omori stuff i contributed to (otherwise, i placed a few pixels here and there. Like for everything xqc attacked, for the shego thing which i was just placing a green pixel? stayed far away from the exposed areas. a few pixels for oshi no ko, yttd, LVJY, genshin although genshin was screwed over so many times and i didnt have the template)
Tumblr media
theres the picnic ofc but i wasnt there at the beginning, only after the picnic was done and after neutral omori was there. but i was there when we took it down and made gunomori YEAHHH with omori theres also the.. thing. something. i cant remember i think it was something but who knows. i didnt have the template though, i tried to download it but i think i screwed it up and couldnt be bothered, so i mainly put myself in the duty of fixing any errors that didnt fit the template (i had a tab with the template) it was my first time doing anything at r/place at all, and i didnt pay much attention to any content before then because it just didnt interest me. but man, i took a leap, and it was FUN. even if it genuinely annoyed me so bad when we got griefed

☀️ 🏞️ 🌗 ❓ pwease
ty for the ask! i dont do these ever or at all so idk how to answer them properly, so this is just me barfing my thoughts out on a post enjoy <3
☀️ What makes your OC genuinely happy? A person, an item, their hobby? Where is the place they’re happiest, or most at home? What is the happiest they’ve ever been?
short answer judy. kidding but in my mind its genuine connections with others that make my v happy, with judy, johnny at times. i wish i could think about this well enough to have given her some fitting hobbies but part of that i could make her actual history of like not having the time, not having the mental capacity to have any life outside survival really you have to have a home to have hobbies or a semi reliable place in my mind and what ive liked to expand upon the one line of flavor text about streetkid v she did not have this luxury most her life… no connection to anything . so id say its people that she really gets to know devoid of any business or 'use' in her mind, outside the 'world/society/culture' rules that she hates so much. as for where she is most happy i dont think its a place shes ever really found yet before the game or during. only after the end with judy when they both finally run away. i think they are very similar in their attitudes towards the society they have to live in to well, live. maybe the happiest my v has ever been was the decision to leave after the plot of the game in my head. freedom… no more uncertainty… or staying with something you hate and hates you because there are no other options that you have the means for. i definitely havent thought of a moment like in her past that she mightve been extremely content or happy at. but thats cause besides like 2 things i havent conjured much anything for her past lmao.
🌗 Early mornings or late nights? What do they spend their time doing during these hours?
definitely late nights to those early morning hours after whatever jobs shes done but also id say a night owl in general. depending on how shes feeling or what shes dealt with prior id say she either spends the time poisoning herself by whatever means she can find just to feel something, or something else...or thinking about what a life beyond all this might feel like. maybe thinking if there really is such a thing. probably spends most of it grappling with the good ol 'its not my problem'/'i can always do something to change anything i see' dichotomy. and those hours as johnny and her get along more might be filled with chatter n other such conversations... maybe sometimes they actually have fun talking to eachother too.
🏞️ If your OC could travel to anywhere in their world where would they go? Why? If they could live there would they?
hmmmm hard to say since the world of the cyberpunk ttrpg is fucked 6 ways to sunday... and i like the idea that my vs mind is so warped by the world she lived in most her life that any idea of a grand adventure or expensive vacation is hilariously lame n kinda sad. wherever she goes its gotta be with judy. having spent most her life in one place id say shed be open to anything as long as its not night city or north r south california. or maybe anywhere thats not the nusa too. i doubt i could think of an in character specific place besides maybe somewhere in europe on the few worldbuildy stuff that its slightly less fucked up than the nusa over there... slightly shed probably be drawn by the single fact that its not fucking night city lmao. but in my mind v wants to travel up to whatever tf is left of oregon cause judy wants to and judy has her grandparents there.
❓ A random fact or short drabble! Or make up your own question to ask the OC!
most the time when i draw my v with her hair down its cause its easier to spacially think of than the double buns… and sometimes i try to imagine her with much shorter hair but it feels weird… idk what style to really go for but im drawn to the idea of her hair changing at major points in her life expository stuff n whatnot so far her hair was cut once in her past not of her will but i want the second time she is 'in view' of the story to be at the end when she leaves with judy n panam. the only fact her hair was even double buns in the first place was cause thats what the v on the first playthrough i watched had for hair lol and obviously it stuck. i have had an in progress comic about the last mission choice where you go alone to arasaka and i remember sketching that out caused me such frustration cause i wanted it to be serious but having all ur hair just down and waving in the middle of combat doesnt seem practical and double buns i thought would just make the panels silly..
and heres some leftover doodles of her cause tumblr limits image posts to 10

'Moviegoers went into this year's summer movie season with excitement and high expectations. It was the first summer movie season since the pandemic that seemed to have some sense of normality and variety. We finally got to see several films that previously suffered delays, such as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and The Flash. We also got new additions to well-established franchises such as Fast X, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. And, of course, there was the "Barbenheimer" hype as both Barbie and Oppenheimer led the way in this year's summer box office...
The Hits and Flops of the Summer
The 2023 summer movie season will always be remembered as the summer of "Barbenheimer." With Barbie and Oppenheimer releasing on the same day and both films being polar opposites regarding subject matter, the "Barbenheimer" phenomenon began as a bit of lighthearted fun on social media. But as time went on, "Barbenheimer" began to grow legs and grow in hype.
From that came memes, merchandise, and, most importantly, it reminded people how fun the movie theater experience can be. It encouraged moviegoers to see both films on the day of release, and while it is hard to calculate how influential the "Barbenheimer" trend was to both films' success, there is no doubt it played a huge role in it.
Thankfully for the fans, Oppenheimer and Barbie lived up to the hype and were massive box-office hits. The record-breaking Barbie has passed the $1 billion mark globally and has become Warner Bros.'s highest-grossing global release ever. Oppenheimer has been equally impressive as it has grossed over $800 million worldwide, become the second highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, behind Joker, and grossed over $300 million domestically. Both films surpassed the hype and continue to draw an audience.
Unfortunately, "Barbenheimer" had a negative effect on other films, particularly Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One. The latest installment to the Mission: Impossible franchise promised to be the most ambitious yet. Those who saw it loved it, and it has received brilliant reviews.
However, because of the domination of Barbie and Oppenheimer in theaters and online, Dead Reckoning Part One fell to the side. And just over a week after its release, Oppenheimer took over the IMAX screens, something Tom Cruise was not happy about. It may have been naivety or bullishness that caused the studio to release the film at the same time as the two biggest films of the summer. Or maybe they just underestimated their competition. Either way, in hindsight, a later release would have massively helped the film...
Fans want something fresh, an event they can get excited about rather than another addition to a bloated franchise. This is why "Barbenheimer" became as big as it did. While Barbie certainly isn't a new entity in pop culture, it was a fresh and innovative approach to the character, and fans appreciate that.
Oppenheimer, a long historical biopic, achieving the success it has, shows that fans are dying for something different from what we have gotten in recent years. So, while this summer can be viewed as a success, it is mainly due to only two movies. A lot still has to change within the industry, and there are some big lessons to be learned.'

Hater Comments - A Debate With r/mendrawingwomen
Those who read the post on Femuscleblog know my arguments. I wanted to post the exchange here to show how the blog gets mischaracterized. A Reddit group that is supposed to be so "progressive" actually has a problem with women being drawn differently from the norm. Nothing Femuscleblog did was wrong . The only error was cross posting. One mistake should not constitute a ban. The majority of Femuscleblog focuses on bodybuilding, but is not a fetish site. Other sports are mentioned and their are topics related to sports science. If it was all men on the site no one would call it fetish. The Princess of Prowess is a fun webcomic and its unfortunate that the Reddit group ignores it. The correspondence from the moderators show a level of illogic and falsehoods.
"Literally, like, the first panel is her bulked up and regardless her body is drawn with the male gaze in mind even when she’s not muscular."
"I didn’t say muscular women were a fetish just like I didn’t say feet themselves were a fetish, but when you’re posting fetish content onto my sub as well as exploring fetishistic subs, it’s hard not to draw conclusions."
"Much of it is pictures of bodybuilding women. Kink isn’t sexist, but it’s akin to having someone with a blog solely dedicated to feet. Like yes, maybe they’re just interested in podiatry, but that’s not the most likely scenario."
"I’m looking at your posts. There’s nothing wrong with having a muscle kink, but we don’t allow kink on our sub."
"It’s very clearly a fetish blog. Nothing wrong with that, but fetish art doesn’t belong in our sub."
"I checked in with another mod. We agree that your being a fetish blog means you weren’t in our sub in good faith."
The most ludicrous comment was "you can have a story that empowers women with artwork that degrades them." That is contradictory. If a person was truly anti-woman they would definitely not have a woman be a main character or a hero. They would be regulated to stock characters or a role of limited significance. The moderator's response was " the fact that you’re using literally one of the most common excuses for artists in our sub says a lot." If you cannot tell the difference between cartoon exaggeration and realistic rendition then you are not an artist. All they are is a complaining fan pretending to fight for a "just cause. " Then there is a demand that artists should not be allowed to draw their own characters a certain way : "I can’t say I recall many characters with as comically shaped breasts as hers that weren’t also written to be airheads. Also, and this is the most important part, the artist didn’t have to draw her that way." The assumption that women with large breasts and blond hair is a sexist stereotype and its shocking that a group that asserts to be feminist would express a sentiment. The demand that all art look the same or that male artists should be directed to draw women a certain way sounds more authoritarian than progressive. The moderators come off as real Karens with this statement :" why did you even post to our sub? A hundred percent you would have gotten people saying the same things I have." Reddit is a platform in which all users are free to post. Interacting with different people or discovering new perspectives should not be a terrible thing. The point of free speech is that everyone gets to express their view point. One can conclude that they are not serious about change if they decide to ban anyone who disagrees with them. There is a difference between harassment , bullying, and having a debate. The group does not really have an issue with body image conformity in art or misogyny. What they really hate is that men are drawing women. Now, if it was the reverse many could see the issue with that. Dolores Dulac is not a representation of sexist caricature or sexualization. The Reddit group just imposed those concepts on the drawing. Nothing is ever going to change if you attack artists who do something different with their characters. Muscular women are not kinks or fetish material. Princess of Prowess is just a fun comedy and fantasy adventure. There is a reason Reddit gets a bad reputation. It is because these groups are toxic. The r/mendrawingwomen group can be added to that list.

Honestly Animatronic DJMM deserves a whole lot more love than he gets from this fandom. Human designs are fun but you gotta appreciate the source material too dang it. I just wanna kiss his big nose and hold his giant hand and I'd be happy. I know you share the sentiment
Tumblr media
People who don’t like og DJMM are cowards 😤😤😤😤🥄🥄🥄🥄
Like if you like human djmm but not true giant enemy spider djmm? You aren’t a djmm fan smhhhhhhh how can you NOT love the giant bb mans- he is everything and more you could need in a giant enemy spider robot-
Also? Only fucking thing (besides that one thing cough spoilers I shouldn’t worry about spoilers but friend goes through my blog and hasn’t finished cough) that was sleeping when they were supposed to- making him a true certified good boy (at least to moon’s standards)
(Cw small rant MCHFHHDDJ)
LIKE SHID DUDE-
His part of the game was probably one of the most tense parts of the game (not saying a lot tbh the game lacks a bunch of shit) with the giant mans fucking spooking the shit out of you reaching his fucking H A N D into the fucking bathroom and crawling up the walls like a fucking cool ass sPIDER that he IS- and his music? Fucking b a n g e r- really sets the mood and the tension- some real mission impossible shit right there m8- plus the fUCKING HEAD TILLLLLTSSSSS GODDDD ITS ADORABLE- a giant man with small curious gestures- and then stops giving a shit about chasing Greg and just vibes on his lil stage
But back on point- Yeah- what the fard- I go and look for anything djmm related and there is basically zero- nada- majority of it being human version and though at least the human versions gives him more attention-? It’s more so for sex appeal and being hot- (I’m guilty of it I cannot lie LMAO- but iv been drawing more biblically accurate dj cause I absolutely adore this mans smh) there is barely ANYTHING about him and it’s sad. He’s more so seen as a meme than a character- 
Fanfics with him in it is mostly just him showing up for maybe a paragraph or two and just leaving- rarely giving him any love and acknowledgement from the fandom as a whole and it’s sad. The other day I went to shop for any djmm merch anyone was makin so I can get me some of that sweet sweet giant enemy spider pride shit- and majority of merch was just sun and moon (don’t get me wrong- absolutely adore sun and moon- but DAMN they are the biggest attraction-) and it’s like sHIT- I COULD ONLY FIND LIKE- AT MOST 5 THINGS FOR DJ smhhhh
Long story short, dj is criminally underrated, and I’m going to speak to my (non existent) lawyers about it (and cry)

ive been seeing ideas for crooklings (sales assistants/surrogate children similar to the nooklings - also called “reddlings,” but i prefer the name “crooklings”) for redd drifting about and i kinda LOVE the concept !!! so i couldn’t help but draw my own concepts for the idea... or maybe four concepts. cuz there’s so many interesting ways to take the idea and i love them all so much.
concept 1: fox twins paralleling the nookling twins. fraternal twins ruby and rusty, named after two shades of red that start with the letter R. admittedly, the idea of them being boy-girl fraternal twins is inspired by gravity falls. i love the memes comparing redd to grunkle stan, lmao. and i had almost decided against naming ruby, well, ruby, because i know there’s already the villager ruby... but then i remembered animal crossing has literally three different characters named tom and two different characters named hazel, so, you know what? its fine.
i also kinda wanted to stick to the “similar but slightly altered color scheme” thing the nooks got going on - have you noticed the nooklings fur is slightly lighter colored than tom’s fur? well i thought it’d be interesting if the crooklings fur were slightly DARKER colored than redd’s fur, plus fox kits irl seem to be slightly browner than adults, and i thought it’d be fun if they had brown-tipped ears like redd does in the ac ova (contrast to the white he has in the games)
concept 2: fox triplets paralleling the nookling twins. rubens, reynolds and renoir, named after three famous painters whose names started with the letter R. you may be wondering, why triplets? well, redd lives and works from a boat, like a certain... popular disney duck...? in fact, the creation of HDL was directly inspired by the existence of mickey mouse’s own twin nephews - the idea being that three nephews instead of just two would cause more problems. since the concept of redd being given little underlings is inspired by the existence of the nooklings, and redd causes problems, it’s something that i think would suit him.
one triplet is lazy and uninvolved, one is excitable but aimless, and one is methodical and efficient... but which one is which? not even redd can tell.
concept 3: different species assistant. there’s so many directions to take this idea, but i am admittedly fond of the idea of a little red panda working for/with a red fox. i’ve seen this specific idea around a bit, and it’s cute... red squad. for this specific design i’m thinking russ as a name - it means “little red one!” :D
concept 3.5: KITTENS?! redd’s technically a kitsune, right? so what if... he took in... another yokai that is known for its multiple tails??  for these two i’m considering derailing from the R themes to name them... scarlett and smudge! both named after semi-famous cats in popular culture. scarlett being a shade of red, and smudge being a word that can apply to paint... but the latter’s namesake had also been a cat who worked at a museum. how appropriate.
could you imagine if they all existed at once? redd’s got an army of babies, ha ha! (maybe someday i’d like to draw redd being surrounded by every single crookling design i can find? though i don’t know if it’s feasible)

Roswell, New Mexico custom Magic: The Gathering cards
For RNM D&D Weekend Warriors, I branched out to another tabletop format and made a handful of custom Magic: The Gathering cards based on the core cast of Roswell, NM. Here’s the break-down of how I chose each character’s color(s) and abilities as well as highlight some of the neat ways they interact. None of the cards have been playtested so there is still room for them to be further developed and balanced. For anyone who isn’t very familiar with Magic: The Gathering, every card fits into various types that can be played for the cost printed in the top right-hand corner. There are 5 colors of Mana- White, Blue, Black, Red, Green- I’ll be using the letters W, U (blue), B (black), R, and G to represent the mana colors in my discussion. Each card can also have different traits and abilities, and a set of numbers that represents how strong its attack and defense are (represented as attack/defense). There’s a lot of amazingly nerdy discussion of Magic Lore that delves into how the Mana colors relate to personality traits and behaviors of the characters on the cards-- more on that here- but just know that I’ll be discussing some of those qualities as I go into why I chose the attributes for each card/character.So here we go!
Tumblr media
Max Evans, Smalltown Hero        2WR Legendary Creature – Human Alien Vigilance, Haste (This creature doesn’t tap to attack and may attack or use tap abilities the turn it enters the battlefield.) T, Sacrifice a nonland permanent: Another target creature gains indestructible until end of turn. Max is a deputy with the sheriff’s department and a natural leader who has kept his powers and identity a secret for years. 3/1
Max is kind hearted and wants to protect his community and friends. On the other hand, he’s impulsive and will make rash decisions without thinking about the consequences of his actions. These two beliefs place him firmly in red/white for Magic colors; a combination that often plays small aggressive creatures and engages in frequent combat. I gave Max vigilance to represent him being a defender as well as an aggressor in a lot of circumstances. His ability to sacrifice something to protect someone else exemplifies his ability to both heal and destroy. Lastly he has haste and a fragile body (1 toughness) making a game with Max play out with an early attack followed by him protecting someone else and only getting in when the coast is clear.
Michael Guerin, Tech Genius      1WU Legendary Creature – Human Alien Artificer When Michael Guerin, Tech Genius enters the battlefield, search your library and/or graveyard for a noncreature artifact or enchantment card and exile it with a research counter on it. If you searched your library this way, shuffle. X, T: Create a token that’s a copy of a card exiled with a research counter. X is that card’s mana value. 2/3
Michael cares about the team differently than Max does. He is often tinkering with things in order to heal or protect others if possible and is a genius when it comes to inventions involving alien technology. His intelligence and need for knowing more fits in blue (alongside a few other science oriented characters). Whereas Max is a straightforward attacker, I chose an ability that is much more complex to understand for Michael. He makes copies of trinkets after taking the time to examine them which lends itself to more combo and control oriented play patterns instead of just blindly turning stuff sideways. I didn’t capture Michael’s temper, but I didn’t want all aliens to be red. Maybe I’ll make another version some time that incorporates different facets of their personalities.

Isobel Evans, Influencer                UBR Legendary Creature – Human Alien Your opponents play with the top card of their library revealed. 3R, T: Gain control of target creature an opponent controls until end of turn. Untap that creature. It gains haste until end of turn. 6BB, T: You control target player’s next turn. Activate only once. 1/4
Isobel has fewer words than Michael, but oh my is she complex as well. If Max leans toward aggro and Michael is combo, Isobel is the control card of the siblings. Isobel is often guided by her emotions, but channels that into careful thought in how to execute a plan and always looks out for herself and her people. Her abilities represent her powers spread across the three colors: Blue – Reading your opponent’s mind, Red – Controlling someone’s impulses for a short period, Black – Forcing your opponent’s actions, once.
Liz Ortecho, Savvy Scientist          1UB Legendary Creature – Human Rebel Liz Ortecho, Savvy Scientist can’t be blocked as long as defending player controls an artifact. Whenever Liz Ortecho deals combat damage to a player, gain control of target artifact that player controls with mana value less than or equal to the damage dealt. 2/1
Liz is smart, cunning, and will protect her own. Her science background lends itself to Blue, but this card plays up some of her devious nature of stealing hospital equipment, doing illegal research, and general sneaking around, so there’s Black in her mana cost as well. She often draws on the abilities of those around her, which means that her connections make her stronger. Amusingly, she’s unblockable against some of our other characters including her own dad!
Tumblr media
Alex Manes, Tech Specialist            1WUB Whenever you draw a card, target creature you control gains deathtouch (Any amount of damage it deals to a creature is enough to destroy it.), lifelink (Damage dealt by that creature also causes you to gain that much life.), or vigilance (Attacking doesn’t cause it to tap.) until end of turn. Whenever Alex Manes, Tech Specialist deals combat damage to a player, create a clue token. (It’s an artifact with “2, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.”) Kyle: “What’s the worst thing we could find?“ Alex: “Literal skeletons.” 2/3
Alex also sneaks around, but I wanted to play up his investigation skills a little more. Instead of just drawing a card when he does damage, he makes a clue “token”. That clue token represents information (drawing a card) that can be held onto or acted on later. He’s a character who’s able to do plenty of damage in his own right, but his big advantage is being able to help other characters do their jobs and get combat abilities they wouldn’t otherwise have. He protects his friends.
Tumblr media
Maria DeLuca, Entrepreneur       2RG Legendary Creature – Human Alien Haste (This creature may attack and use tap abilities the turn it enters the battlefield.) Each other creature you control enters the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter on it. “Maria DeLuca is her own savior.” 3/2
Maria cares about her friends and her business. Her ability helps everyone and represents your other creatures being able to stop in for a drink at the bar. She gets haste to show how hard she works and has aggressive stats so she can get her hands dirty in a fight. Like Michael, I could see another version playing into her psychic powers.
Tumblr media
Dr. Kyle Valenti                 1WW Legendary Creature – Human Lifelink (Damage dealt by that creature also causes you to gain that much life.) When Dr. Kyle Valenti enters the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on each other creature you control. "In a hospital it doesn't matter what someone did before they came through the doors." 2/2
Kyle is a healer and instead of showing that with damage prevention, I chose a simpler buff to the whole team. Now you’re less worried about losing fights!
Rosa Ortecho, Troubled Artist                     1BR Legendary Creature – Human Alien At the beginning of your upkeep, choose one — • Draw a card and lose 2 life. • Exile the top card of your library. Until end of turn, you may play that card. Red is armor. 3/2
Rosa was a fun one to design. She is black red which is a color combo notoriously bad at impulse control. She has aggressive stats and an ability that makes the controller make a hard choice every turn. Do I take the guaranteed draw at the cost of a couple life or do I risk not being able to cast whatever I exile? Among other things, this represents her struggle with addiction-- taking the most directly expedient option comes with some harm to her life totals- but it’s the damage you know. The second option requires you to risk the unknown, but be able to participate in the fight without automatically being harmed-- it requires you to trust your deck and your support network...but be prepared for potential setbacks.
Tumblr media
Arturo Ortecho                 GG Legendary Creature – Human Defender (This creature can’t attack.) Whenever a nontoken creature enters the battlefield under your control, create a Food token. (It’s an artifact with “{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life.”) G, T, Sacrifice a Food: Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn. “I already have my miracle.” 2/4
Arturo cares about his community as do many of our characters, but if there’s any color that cares about bringing everyone in for dinner, it’s green. He delivers food whenever a new creature enters and can use them as buffs instead of just life gain! His kindness and compassion sustain everyone.
Tumblr media
Deputy Jenna Cameron                 1RR Legendary Creature – Human First Strike (This creature deals combat damage before creatures without first strike.) Whenever Jenna blocks or becomes blocked by a creature, she deals 1 damage to that creature. “Who you callin’ a girl?” 2/3
In case you can’t tell, a lot of our characters act on impulse and emotion, which is a Red trait. Cam is tough (A 3/4 is needed to best her in combat!) and efficiently deals with enemies. The faster-than-first strike damage represents her sharp shooting skill. And because of her skills, anyone going up against her is going to feel it right away.
Sergeant Jesse Manes                   2BB Legendary Creature – Human Soldier Menace (This creature must be blocked by two or more creatures.) When Sergeant Jesse Manes enters the battlefield or attacks, exile the top card of each opponent’s library face down. You may cast noncreature cards exiled this way and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any type to cast that spell. Jesse's inhumane methods leave only pain in his wake. 3/2
Jesse is a character who has his own twisted view of how his actions will better society. His card here plays up how he tends to believe the ends justify any means-- for him, at least. He steals information and uses it against those he took it from, to represent his involvement in Project Shepherd and the threat he represents not just to the safety and security of the aliens, but to anyone helping them. I chose to exclude creatures in order to make the ability a little more efficient and make it feel more like controlling the chess board and less like mind control (Which a Noah card would someday probably do).
Whew! I hope you enjoyed reading these as much as I enjoyed making them!

Hey ! I saw you were doing genshin matchups, Can i get one pls w a male character if this is not bothering you ? I am 18, 5’8, and go by she/her ! Idk if you’re familiar w it but my mbti is entp and enneagram 8w7. Words to describe me would be : independent, quite chaotic, honest, competitive, cool, creative and smart.
When ppl see me for the first time i tend to appear as intimidating cause of my resting mean face while in reality i am probably just daydreaming or lost in my thoughts who can be quite profound as superficial. From the world revolution to what should i chose for lunch. Ambiverted i like to have my alone time as much as i like to be in some company but i am quite picky w who i call friends since i don’t trust easily. However it does not mean i am completely closeted to new people and even appreciates the kind of relationship in wich no one hold obligations to another and we just have our fun.
As a lover my love languages are quality time and act of services ? I don’t count giving food/cooking as gifts but if you do then i guess i also express my love that way. I have an hard time w admiting my feelings or allowing myself to show that i am melting inside… my heart prob go brrr it’s ridiculous, I go really soft and it tends to scare me a lil as i don’t like to be seen as vulnerable or let my emotions take the complete control. The irony of all that is that i am the kind of person who tends to be easily flustered and that my acting skills are 50% of the time questionables or on point. I may flirt on accident and may try to look cuter unconsciously. Also i desire receiving physical affection but am too prideful again to initiate it but am the first when it comes to teasing.
My hobbies consist in a lot of things, i draw, read, write, listen to some music, play videos games or anything that is a game w no consideration of its nature, i also enjoy learning new things related to philosophy, psychology or history and like to try new cooking recipes even if i am not a chief but i try my best and do not take slander on it as i am quite prideful. My favorite flavor is spicy and ik its strange but i do think caramel somehow represents me. I also take interest in mysteries as enigmas, appreciate physical activities and enjoy art. I sometimes can find myself write poems. I value adaptability, curiosity and quick thinking process to be more efficient on my goals to maybe one day have my own truth on this world and apply what i think is justice w little to no consideration to social norms. Thank you for doing this i think that’s all i had to say.
Pins// Don't mention it! nwn

{I'm matching you with...
Kazuha!}

___
After I read this, it screamed for Kazuha- owo
When you both met, he finds your blank, daydreaming look quite amusing… But pretty.
He finds your creativity and sophistication in certain fields impressive.
Your unconscious cuteness is very endearing to him, Kazuha would often chuckle softly and boop your lovely nose whenever you do or say something he finds it cute-
Kazuha// Maple, you never cease to stop from being this adorable… ☺️❤️
He literally trails off haikus and poems nearly 24/7 (not completely, because he often gets interrupted in the process sometimes-)
Once he learns that you write poems, he would get curious about what kinds of poems you write.
He might know that possibly due to him studying every word you say in a conversation, and possibly from the way you talk or how you describe what you adore or dislike.
Of course, he doesn’t want to push you if you’re not comfortable to show them to him!
He won’t stop being fluffy and cute around you, so be aware-
Prepare to receive light embraces from behind- he loves to surprise you once in awhile,,, 😅
Kazuha would gladly help around with cooking as you try new recipes!
He would compliment your meals and try to help you improve by spilling some nice, interesting feedbacks in your way.
He may also teach you the recipes from his homeland to try out.
Since you seeing to love spicy and caramel food, he would recommend you to try spicy curry rice and candled fruit!
Kazuha attempts to comfort you whenever you feel scared, he’ll always remind you that is alright to feel that way.
Kazuha// The brave can also fear of things like other people, Y/N… I was scared of experiencing tender feelings as well, but I was never afraid to face you and love you as you are.
In modern AU, you may both hang out together while playing video games once in a while.
Kazuha is very flexible and not very picky with games, as long as they’re not too stressing for his limit-
Yet, he’ll be alright with anything you desire to play!
You both may possibly play mystery/puzzle/multiplayer games and help each other solve puzzles or enigmas-

War makes thieves, and peace hangs them (pt5)
Told from POV of Triple Frontier characters and while it’s an OFC she is never described. Her “name” is a radio handle (Wildcat). 
Summary: Getting ready for the op, Wildcat and Santiago find themselves on a private channel. (Santiago Garcia x Reader)
Other chapters... My Masterlist
Word count: 2100. Read it on AO3.
Rating: R? NC-17? (Explicit) language. dirty talk.
Tumblr media
"Here," Wildcat presses a small piece of silicon into Santi’s hand and he held it up. "They work off bone conduction, can just about pick up your thoughts." She hands him a cell phone. "I’ve got everything wired right now through this handheld. It should automatically temper the sound so it won’t matter what volume we’re talking at - it’ll modulate it into a narrow range." She grins, "Don’t want to blow out your ear drum."
Santi turns the earbud over in his fingers before pressing it into his right ear. "Comms check?"
She glances up at him, "Loud and clear."
It’s an odd sensation, he hears her voice like normal, but also simultaneously like she’s right inside his head with him. "What’s the range on these?"
"About a hundred yards." She taps a button on the phone in his hand and he no longer hears her echoing. Then she pulls a black beanie out of her bag, settling it on her head and making sure all her hair is tucked away. "Please remember that I won’t be on main comms. If there’s anything I need to know you’re going to have to repeat it to me."
"Yeah, about that-" he starts but she cuts him off.
"One of your giant radios is going to be too obvious. No way. I need to at least be capable of blending in."
Santi looks her up and down. She’s got on a pair of dirty jeans and a grey t-shirt. The jeans are loose, falling straight down her legs and hiding the curves of her body. The t-shirt… "What did you do to your-" he gestures at her chest.
She squats at her bag, slipping a knife into one boot and another behind her belt. "Left them back at the hotel." At his raised eyebrow she grins. "Didn’t you know all boobs are detachable?"
"We talking about boobs in here?" Will’s voice precedes him into the room.
Wildcat turns to him with a smile. "We should always be talking about boobs. They’re amazing."
"I don’t like it," Santi grunts.
"Boobs?" Benny asks with an incredulous look following behind Will, Frankie a few feet behind him.
"This," Santi gestures at Wildcat. "I don’t like you not being on primary comms. The delay could cost you." He looks at her once more, "I also wish you’d wear some armor."
She sighs, heavy and strained. "If someone sees me from the corner of their eye I need to look like I belong. One of your radios and a flak jacket will ruin the mirage."
"Ain’t no one mistaking you for a narco Wildcat," Frankie points out and Santi gives him an approving look before looking back at her.
"Yes. Exactly," Santi agrees vehemently.
She kicks her bag under the nearby table and then stands up to her full height, hands on her hips. "Look. You hired me to do this because I’m really fucking good at my job. So back off and accept I know more than you about how to do this." She holds up the keyset she lifted just fifteen minutes ago, "Unless one of you wants to gather the intel from an active safe house? No? Then I’ll say it again. Let me do my fucking job."
A quick dip of his chin is all he gives her and she doesn’t say anything in return. Instead she checks her watch, leaning to look out a crack in the papers covering the window. "How long we got?"
"Hour, give or take." Ben replies, sitting and leaning a chair back against the wall.
Santi pulls his 9mm out of its holster. Checks the magazine, checks there isn’t one chambered, and then hands it and the holster to Wildcat. "You’re going in there with more than a knife on you. And you can’t tell me a gun will be out of place. It will look odd if you don’t have one."
She wrinkles her nose but nods, repeating his motions and checking the safety before hooking the holster onto the back of her pants. 
"Might as well have kept the bullets Pope," Ben says with a smirk.
"You can fuck off," Wildcat mutters, looking out the window.
Pope raises an eyebrow. "What’s this?"
"Wildcat can’t shoot for shit," Ben laughs.
"Really?" This from Frankie who had finally stopped blushing every time he looked at her.
Wildcat grunts, turning away from the window and back to them. "I have a different skillset."
"How bad?" Will asks.
She shuts her eyes for a moment before shrugging. "Bad."
"Hey didn’t you wash out of SEAL training 'cause of it?" Ben asks.
She spins on him, "Why are you asking questions you already know the answer to?"
"How did you even make it out of basic?" Ben continues to needle.
A thunk echoes in the room and Ben turns his head slowly, his cheek grazing the knife that had appeared in the wall next to him. Frankie gives a low whistle and even Will gives her a more appraising look. Santi hadn’t even seen her move.
"I said I have a different skillset," she grits out before walking over and pulling the knife out. Santi is watching but as soon as it comes out of the wall it just… disappears. Somewhere.
"Enough," Santi snaps and everyone stands up a little straighter. "It’s time to get into place." No one needs a reminder, the moment the words are out everyone starts moving. Wildcat takes the phone out of his hand, turning the screen on and showing him the earbud controls before turning everything on and tucking the phone into his vest.
"Be careful," he tells her and sees her brows draw down but she nods and slips out the back door.
Santi grabs their gear and heads up to the empty apartment. The narcos knew his face which meant he was stuck running ops. From the apartment above he had a good view of the street out the window and Will and Frankie would be placing cameras. Ben would be on the corner, doing a much better job of pretending to read the paper than Frankie had. Will would be with Wildcat, ready to boost her up and then move to the extraction point. Frankie was on getaway car.
-Pope Pope, Ironhead.-
Santi reaches down to his radio. -Ironhead go.-
-Wildcat is up, moving to secondary.-
-Copy that Ironhead.-
"I see my babysitter has already contacted you." The voice purrs inside his head and Santi shifts his weight on his feet, looking down at the building across the street. He can’t see her, knows he can’t. Until Will got his camera setup he wouldn’t be able to see her.
"Shouldn’t you be keeping quiet right now?" he asks, scanning the street for signs of her anyway.
A low laugh, "I’m twenty feet off the ground. And I’m whispering. I can barely hear me."
"Well, you shouldn’t be distracting me," he says.
"From what? We’ve got at least fifteen minutes to kill." A pause and he can almost hear her brain working. "I can think of some fun ways to spend fifteen minutes."
He groans, "No. Absolutely not."
"Aw, Pope, why so serious? Don’t you ever have fun on these jobs?"
"No," he says again, even more firmly.
"That’s too bad," he hears a low hum and can feel it travel through his body, curling his toes. "I guess I’ll just have to entertain myself."
"Do not," he warns but she just laughs, low and dark. "I’ll turn your channel off," the note of caution in his voice should be enough to scare anybody.
"No you won’t. You won’t risk something happening to me while you’ve got me muted." Fuck she was right. Had called his bluff. "Which means that you, sexy man, are at my mercy."
Santi leans his head against the windowpane for a second, careful not to disturb the curtain he was peering around. "Didn’t you get enough of me last night?"
"Oh no," she is definitely purring now. Her voice low and sensual. "I don’t think I did. In fact, I think tonight you should let me tie you up."
"Not a chance," he says, shifting to look at the three camera feeds, of which only two are up. As he watches, the feed from Will’s camera comes through and now he can see her. Tiny on his screen and squeezed into a corner where two buildings meet, near a window. He tilts his head, trying to figure out the logistics of what she’s doing. She got one foot wedged into a crack, the other on maybe a half inch of exposed brick, her hands pressed out to each side. Her legs at an angle he’s never seen from a human before. Just looking at her makes his knees hurt.
"I didn’t know you were that flexible," he comments and sees her lift her head, eyes scanning until she spots the camera Will set up across from her. The camera is too far away to see her expression but he can somehow tell that she grins at him.
"Oh honey, this isn’t even half of it."
He groans and then tries to stifle it when he hears her low chuckle. Damn these earbuds are sensitive. He’s not used to them. Not used to having instant communication with the team like this. It’s nice, or at least would be if she weren’t using them for evil.
"You know I still have marks on my wrists from last night."
He did in fact know that. He had forgotten to untie her for far too long, until his belt had chafed her skin and she’d actually had to ask. He also knew better. He’d played these games before and generally wasn’t so careless. There was just something about her that made him want to push. Push things just a little further than was safe.
"I’ve also got a scratch on the inside of my thigh. I think it’s from your zipper."
He bites back the groan this time, clenching his fist so hard his knuckles hurt.
"I’m sad I didn’t get to see you. You have a beautiful cock, don’t get me wrong, but I’d’ve liked to have seen the rest of you."
The cock in question was already half hard. Santi grits his teeth.
"I mean, I barely even got to touch you. That’s really a shame. It is. I like touching. And tasting. Running my fingers and tongue over someone’s skin."
Why was she doing this? He’s watching the cameras, he really is, but he keeps coming back to her. The way her body is twisted against the building. She can’t move. Not really. But she doesn’t seem like she needs to. As uncomfortable as it looks to him, her voice in his head doesn’t seem at all fazed.
"I really enjoyed sucking your cock you know. I would do that again for you, anytime you’d like."
"Fuck," he breathes and he hears a low hum from her.
"Maybe you’ll be nicer next time. Let me take my time. Go slow. Draw it out for you. Suck on you til my lips go numb."
"Cat," his voice has an edge to it.
"Are you touching yourself Pope?"
He grunts, shifting in his chair. "No."
"Do you want to be?"
He doesn’t reply. Lets the silence stretch between them before he hears her sigh. "I wish I could touch myself right now. I’ve gotten myself all wet thinking about you." Another sigh, as heartfelt as the last. "Or even better, I wish you were here touching me."
He can imagine it easily. The way her legs are spread and the angle of the camera mean that he’s looking right into the V of her thighs. Hell, if she weren’t wearing pants he could probably see inside of her in this position. But she is, and he can’t, just sees the tight stretch of denim. His brain is more than happy to fill in the rest.
-Pope Pope, Catfish.-
Santi groans, shifting his attention to his radio. -Catfish go.-
-I’ve got eyes on the delivery truck.-
-Copy that.- The next bit is as much for Wildcat’s benefit as his own. -Eyes on the delivery truck. Allcom sound off.-
-Catfish go.-
-Ironhead go.-
-Benny go.-
"Wildcat go," a whisper in his ear.
"What do you hear Wildcat?" An old litany. One he’d said a thousand times before.
This time he doesn’t imagine her twist towards the camera, the grin she gives him. "Nothing but the rain Pope." Then she’s twisting against the building, a small jump and her hands catch the lip of a window just above her.
"Drop zone is clear," he tells her, watching the cameras. He can see her body sway, she’s holding herself by eight fingers and a single toe-hold. The delivery truck pulls up and he waits just a second longer before speaking one word.
-Go.-

Invisible String: JJ Maybank
Tumblr media
JJ x OC
MASTERLIST
word count: 9.9k
summary: based off the lyrics from Taylor Swift’s song “Invisible String”, this story follows an original character named Charlotte “Charlie” Summers, a hopeless romantic who unfortunately falls in love with JJ Maybank. At first, he wants nothing to do with her but after one night, he realizes that maybe he was wrong about love after all. 
a/n: I was writing this while I wasn’t feeling myself and because of that, it’s not like my usual stories. The ending is hopeful but open ended and it’s very angsty. I know some people don’t like Taylor Swift but this song off her new album is seriously so amazing. Try to be open minded while you listen to the album and I promise it won’t disappoint. have fun reading :)
Green was the color of the grass
Where I used to read at Centennial Park
I used to think I would meet somebody there
She had enjoyed sitting in parks and reading the Feminine Mystique while the only time he sat to read was when he was in school, if he ever showed. She was a hopeless romantic, pining and obsessing after every long haired, rebel without a cause she saw. There was a new boy every week. Not that she ever dated them. No, she only watched them from afar, wondering what shampoo they used or how their eyes would crinkle when they laughed. There was something beautifully innocent about these attractions and so, for a very long time, she just sat on the same park bench from afar and watched a number of beautiful people pass her; they were completely oblivious to the fact a girl was admiring them only a few feet away.
He was the polar opposite. It was not that he didn’t believe in love because he loved his friends but JJ never wanted anyone to love him. And, unlike many teenagers, he was okay with not being loved. Love was for the weak, for people who needed validation from others. He needed none of that. If a girl ever liked him, he would use and lose them quickly, making sure they hated him by the end of it. Love weakened him and he didn’t have the time to be weak when everyone around him expected him to be strong.
Teal was the color of your shirt
When you were sixteen at the yogurt shop
You used to work at to make a little money
She had asked him when they first met if he liked the colour teal. Random yes, but it wasn’t a meaningless question. Men associated teal with feminine activities, such as braiding hair and dressing dolls and any man who recoiled at that answer meant that they would not be compatible. When he didn’t recoil and instead vigorously nodded his head, she knew he was the one. JJ thought of how the waves felt between his fingers and his mother’s eyes when he thought of teal. Subsequently, the colour teal would rear its head in their relationship many times. For it was the colour of his favourite shirt and the colour of the ocean where they met.
His answer, although enthusiastic, was about the only interesting thing he thought she had said. When JJ first met her, there was no undeniable pull. Unlike her, he just saw a plain girl. Pretty, yes, but plain. She was the type of girl he could learn to love in time, but he was not interested in waiting a few months to feel something for her. Instead, he wanted carnal and immediate affection. He wanted to feel the pull instantly. Realistically, the relationship with instant attraction lasted only a few weeks until it wore off but JJ was not looking for a realistic love. Not at first anyways.
Time, curious time
Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs
Were there clues I didn’t see?
He wondered, later on, if his instant distaste for her was the reason the universe made them stumble in and out of each other’s lives for so long. He thought it was the universe trying to teach him a lesson. The lesson being a person that you think is insignificant, could actually turn out to be the most important person in your life.
They saw each other for the second time at his job. To try and get some extra money, JJ decided to get a job. Unfortunately the only job he seemed he could find was one at an ice cream parlor. It was embarrassing for him but he had to wear a teal shirt (his favourite colour), so he swallowed his pride and started at Figure 8’s only ice cream parlor. Unfortunately for him, JJ hated Kooks. This hate only grew when every customer he served was a Kook. They were all obnoxious and rude, two qualities he suspected they would have. But he bit his tongue and served even the people with the worst attitudes. Two weeks after she and JJ met at the beach, she entered the same ice cream parlor with her friends. Sarah Cameron, along with her boyfriend Topper and her brother Rafe, were all too preoccupied with their difficult decision on what to order to notice that their friend was acting oddly.
Oddly would be an understatement. She was mortified. Not only was her hair matted because she was surfing all day, but she was also wearing no makeup. These two things, along with the fact she was completely caught off guard that JJ was an employee at this parlor made her disastrously nervous. As they waited in line, she asked Sarah for her mirror.
“Mirror? Why the hell do you need a mirror?” Sarah questioned, a confused look written over her face. When her friends didn’t answer (or was too embarrassed to do so), she followed her eye line to the blonde boy who was scooping ice cream. “JJ? Really Charlie?”
Charlie frowned, her face hot. “He’s nice.” She said this so casually, it almost seemed as if she had known JJ her entire life.
But Sarah, although spending a limited amount of time with JJ, knew more about him than Charlie did. “No, he’s not.”
“Who’s nice?” Rafe butted in, only hearing Sarah’s last words to Charlie and trying to catch up on the conversation he missed.
“No one!” Charlie rushed, glancing at Sarah for her to play along.
The last thing Charlie wanted was for Rafe or Topper to know about her crush on JJ. Although she hung out with these boys, it was only to be polite. If Charlie had to choose, she would rather solely spend her time with Sarah. Although weary on why this already weird girl was acting even more so, Rafe was too tired to press for more and instead gave Charlie a puzzled look and turned back to face Topper, who was too busy deciding on what to order.
“Charlie’s gonna order for us.” Sarah announced, watching in amusement as her friend’s face contorted in fear.
“Hm?” Charlie gulped, glancing at the line that was coming dangerously close to JJ.
Sarah grinned. “We’ll pay for it as long as you order for us.” Sarah paused for a moment, a mischievous grin on her lips. “Or are you too scared?”
Charlie shook her head, indignant. “I am not.”
Sarah nudged Charlie forward, watching as the girl came face to face with JJ Maybank.
JJ was surprised to see her here. Of course, he knew he would have to see her eventually. He worked in the only ice cream parlor for miles and it was only a matter of time before the pretty girl with a name he did not remember finally stumbled across this parlor. As he watched her stumble over her words as she ordered, his heartbeat picked up speed. He swallowed harshly, wondering why a girl who only a few weeks ago he could care less about was now making him feel nervous.
“I’ll have t-two, um, rocky r-roads…” Charlie scrambled to remember the order her friends listed off to her, her mind running faster than her brain.
JJ nodded, looking up every so often to indirectly tell her he was listening. Her wet hair stuck to her cheeks, clearly drying in a matted way. He had a strong urge to reach out and push the hair behind her ears, something he never wanted to do before now. So what changed? JJ shook his head, trying to clear his mind as he wrote the order properly. Nothing changed, he convinced himself. He was only caught off guard by her presence.
“That’s it?” JJ calmly said, thanking an omniscient being that he had not acted as nervous as she was. He had a growing suspicion that this girl had a crush on him which only made him embarrassed since he didn’t want to believe he felt anything for her.
Y//N nodded, wanting to pinch herself just so she could calm down. “Yep.”
“Okay,” JJ ripped off the note from his pad and stuck it on the board where a bunch of his co-workers were ready to scoop. “Your order will be ready soon.”
Charlie nodded, forcing her head to move smoothly as to draw attention away from her shaky hands. “Thanks.”
Before she had time to move farther down the line, JJ spoke again. He wanted to put these feelings down to rest, proving to himself that he did not feel anything towards a girl he barely knew. “I think I’ve met you before. What’s your name?”
JJ knew this would hurt her feelings because they had met quite recently. Although it did hurt her feelings, she knew not to take it too personally because she was a girl hardly anyone noticed. “It’s Charlie.”
JJ nodded, smirking as he remembered the name. His heartbeat finally slowed down. Maybe he really felt nothing and it was only the embarrassment of seeing her again that made his heartbeat pick up. “I’m -”
“JJ. I know.” She interrupted him, watching as her friends slowly started to move farther down the line. Before she held up the line any more, she sweetly smiled at JJ and said, “I remember because you’re named after the producer of Lost.”
With that last comment, she walked farther down the line and closer to her friends. As Sarah asked her what happened and Charlie soaked up the embarrassment she felt, JJ wanted to laugh. She had just confirmed his suspicions; she had a crush on JJ. This did not seem to matter to JJ all that much since numerous girls in OBX had fallen victim to his blue eyes and cocky smirk. Although she wasn’t the first girl to ever have a crush on him, she was the first he could care less about. Usually he would use these infatuations to his advantage but this time he had no interest in Charlie. Although this was true, he was also bored out of his mind. He hadn’t been laid in a week or so and that was a long time when you were JJ Maybank. He knew how easy it would be to invite a girl that acted like that back to his home and, against his better judgement, he decided to do it.
This was mostly against his better judgement for two reasons. One, she was a Kook and JJ hated Kooks. He rarely slept with any of them, annoyed by their very presence. He usually went for Pogues or tourists, two kinds of girls he got along with better. Two, she seemed to have some type of infatuation with him which was dangerous territory. The girls that JJ slept with liked him, but it never went past the surface. Those girls didn’t give him the heart eyes she was giving him and that’s why he spent time with them. He knew it was cruel to sleep with a girl that felt so strongly towards him, especially when he felt nothing towards them, and that’s why he rarely slept with those types of girls. But he was willing to break that rule for some fun.
You might be thinking right about now that JJ Maybank is a miscreant and for that, you would be correct.
As he watched her pay for her order and get her ice cream, he seemed to be in a daze. As he watched her talk to her friends, her mind elsewhere, he thought of how he would ask her out and inevitably sleep with her. I’m warning you now, you won’t like JJ for most of this story. He’s greedy and selfish. Like a hurricane, he sweeps up whatever is around him and destroys it. And he has a fun time doing it.
Just as Charlie and her friends exited the parlor, his boss told him it was time for his break since he seemed ‘a little out of it.’ Without so much as a nod, JJ made his way past the line of customers, watching as Charlie closed the door behind her.
“Charlie!” JJ raised his voice, catching the girl’s attention.
“What does he want?” Rafe asked, stepping forward and trying to grab onto Charlie’s hand and pull her away from a Pogue he hated. Although Rafe would only admit it if there was a gun to his head, he had feelings for Charlie that he knew she would never reciprocate. Seeing JJ chase after her and seeing her stop, only added to his heartbreak.
“Let’s give them some privacy…” Sarah whispered as JJ approached them, confidently staring at Charlie who was averting her gaze. She was too embarrassed to watch JJ step closer and closer to her.
Just as Sarah pulled her boyfriend and brother away from Charlie, JJ finally stood in front of Charlie. He never asked girls out. It usually was implied that he wanted to spend time with them because if he didn’t, he would just avoid them like the plague.
He would admit to himself, as he approached Charlie, he felt guilty. She seemed like a sweet girl but should be with someone who could give her everything. That also begged the question in JJ’s mind; what did she want from him? She was a Kook after all and if she genuinely just liked him, that would be the first time a Kook was ever genuine about anything. Surprisingly, it made JJ feel better about using her if she was a Kook. He hated Kooks, especially Rafe, and sleeping with this Kook Princess was definitely going to piss off some Kooks.
“I have the first season on DVD at my house. Wanna come over some time and watch it?” JJ looked at his hand, watching as he loosened his grip on the ends of his teal shirt.
Charlie was surprised but did her best to hide it. She thought she was successful but JJ could see right through and it only added to his ego when he saw her bewilderment. Slowly but surely, Charlie finally answered with a nod. JJ nodded back, waiting for her to say something and when he realized she wouldn’t, he spoke again.
“What about tomorrow night?”
She only nodded again, her heart thumping in her chest. She was afraid JJ could hear the beat of her heart because it was so loud in her ears. Fortunately JJ did not and instead turned around and made his way back to the parlor. He felt a slight squeeze around his heart but ignored it, thinking it was because he had just asked a girl out and was feeling guilty about it. Charlie felt the same squeeze but did not dismiss it as JJ had. Instead, she saw it as an invisible string finally tying around her heart and connecting to JJ’s.
And isn’t it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?
For her, that night couldn’t come fast enough. For JJ, he could care less. Not that he wasn’t excited to get laid but that seemed to be it for him. It was nothing more than a hookup and he promised he would explain that to her when she got to his house. Thankfully his father was gone for the weekend, leaving JJ to be at his house for as long as he wanted to.
As Charlie sat at Sarah’s vanity, letting her friend pluck her eyebrows and blend her makeup, JJ was sitting on his couch and watching tv. He was less than nervous. Yes, he was nervous when he first was speaking to her but her adorableness had caught him off guard. Now, he was ready for her. He would always be ready for her now.
As the time came closer and closer to their ‘date’, Sarah felt obligated to inform her friend on who she was about to go on a date with. She loved Charlie like a sister and wasn’t about to let a boy she knew to be a troublemaker and a womanizer destroy her friend’s perception of love. Her friend had never been in a  relationship and had a limited experience with boys which meant she didn’t understand how cruel some of them could be. To settle the arguments in her mind, she decided to just advise her friend to be careful. Although Charlie understood her friend’s apprehensiveness, she thought she understood JJ like the back of her hand. He had a tough exterior but on the inside, he was just as fragile as any other person. She was willing to meet the real JJ. Unfortunately, what she didn’t know yet was that her heart had to break first before she met the real JJ.
Although JJ had a number of girls come over at his house, he rarely asked them out days before. Usually they would come home with him the same night he met them. To say JJ was underprepared was an understatement. He only realized he had a date that night when she rang the doorbell. In a hurried mess, he threw on the cleanest shirt he had and rushed to open the door. Tripping only once, he successfully made it to the door. When he opened the door, all his worries melted away. And no, it was not because she was breathtaking but because he remembered it was only Charlie. Plain Charlie.
She was considerably more nervous than him, being as it was only her first date. But she took a deep breath and took everything one step at a time. She felt pretty, her hair done in a nice braid and wearing her favourite shorts, and pretended as if she was one of those girls who carried themselves as if they were an angel that graced everyone’s presence. She saw her walk as dainty but JJ barely noticed, distracted by her bare legs. They were virtually smooth (meaning she shaved) and tan.
“Where’s your tv?” Charlie asked, watching as JJ looked up from her legs and to her eyes.
JJ’s house, although not anything like hers, was cozy and she liked it. There were beer cans thrown everywhere and she knew JJ had made no effort to clean anything up but still, his house looked as if someone lived in it. Granted, it was a messy individual but nonetheless, it was a home. Her house was always too clean and looked deserted.
“In my room.” JJ stated, walking in front of her and opening the door to his room. He looked behind him, watching as she did not make any movement towards him. Just as he began to get confused he remembered that she was deathly awkward and might not be okay with being in his room. Showing an ounce of concern for someone other than himself for the first time in weeks, he said, “Is that okay?”
Charlie cleared her throat, nodding quickly before picking up her feet and walking through the threshold of JJ’s door. She wanted to seem nonchalant about being in his room but JJ saw right through her. Either she was just nervous or she had never been in a boy’s bedroom. The latter was true. If JJ had known that, he would have never let her in his room. He had always believed he was not good enough to be anyone’s first for anything, including a small thing like that.
Charlie softly sat on the edge of JJ’s bed, watching as the boy bent down and put the DVD through the DVD player. When his back was to her, her eyes finally drifted to his right wall where a small picture of him as a child, hugging a woman who shared the same features as he did. She had stuck two fingers, which were supposed to be bunny ears, behind his head and plastered on a huge grin. JJ, oblivious to the fingers behind his head, only gave a toothy grin as he looked into the camera.
When JJ finally got up from his seat on the floor, he sat right next to Charlie. She was right on the edge of his bed, sitting very close to the tv. She seemed a little stiff and JJ hoped she would relax soon. Although her body was in front of the tv, her head was turned elsewhere. When he realized what picture she was looking at, he immediately felt embarrassed. That picture was usually never hung but JJ had felt nostalgic last night and hung it up to look at but never took it down.
Before he could speak, she did first. “Is that your mother?” This was the first clear and confident sentence she had spoken since they met and JJ was almost surprised to see that her regular voice was lower than he first thought.
JJ nodded for a second, grasping to find a subject he could change to. He looked at the tv screen and handed the remote to Charlie, finally knowing what to say. “What episode?”
Charlie scrolled down, through the first season before deciding to pick the first episode. As the opening scene started to play, JJ chuckled to himself, scooting closer to the edge of the bed to get closer to Charlie. He saw that this movement made her nervous but he only scooted closer.
“Why’d you laugh?” Charlie asks, her voice once again softer. She seemed to be nervous again and JJ only found it adorable. “You don’t like the first episode.”
JJ knew it was going to be more difficult to get this girl to kiss him since he doubted she’d ever make the first move. Indulging her, he answered her question. “It just tells me a lot about your personality.”
Charlie’s face contorted in confusion, her eyes off the screen and on JJ now. “What does this tell you exactly?”
JJ smirked. “That you’re a real neat freak. You need things to have a beginning, middle and end. Probably a hopeless romantic. You love the stories of girl meets guy, they fall in love and get married. The end.”
Charlie, a little upset he read her so precisely, only rolled her eyes and tried not to be too offended. “And what episode would you have chosen?”
JJ shrugged, thinking for a moment before answering. “Probably the last one.”
Charlie nodded, scratching her chin. “Probably means you hate to follow the norm. You hate beginnings and middles and the end. You don’t like structure and you probably think love is a little dumb.” When she sees JJ’s smirk falter, she continues. “How right was I?”
JJ was slightly surprised at how accurate she had been. Yet again, he found himself trying to remain calm. “Pretty right.”
Charlie smirked, bowing her head. “Thank you.” Her eyes turned back to the screen, watching as a scene unfolded in front of her.
JJ wasn’t done with the conversation though, upset that a girl he thought he had figured out turned out to be not what he expected. She was shy, he thought. In some ways she was, but at the same time she wasn’t going to let JJ shamelessly make fun of her. She had some type of backbone, however small. He watched her instead of the screen, so confused how he had gotten her personality so wrong. Eventually, she saw he was not paying attention and she looked back to him, sheepishly making eye contact. JJ was confused again. How could she be outwardly intelligent one second and shy the next? This girl was more complicated than he thought.

“Is there something else you wanted to add?” Charlie innocently asked, embarrassed that JJ was watching her so intently.
JJ shrugged, glancing at the screen before looking back at her. “Wondering if the rest of my profile is correct about you.”
He watched as Charlie chuckled at the word profile. He suddenly felt embarrassed, realizing it wasn’t the coolest thing to say in the moment. She shrugged and said, “I don’t know. What is it?”
JJ wanted to say so much but he couldn’t. She wasn’t what he thought she was. She was multifaceted, shy and confident. Meek and talkative. Instead, he felt himself more interested in what she thought about him. This had never happened before. JJ never thought they would do this much talking. He never thought their conversations would get this deep this fast. Especially with a Kook.
“I don’t know. What about me?”
Charlie smiled, glancing at that picture on the wall before speaking. “Definitely a mama’s boy. She probably taught you how to surf.” As she talked, JJ’s heart rate picked up pace. She was getting close to dangerous waters. No one talked about his mother. Not even his closest friends. “That photo tells me two things. One, that she was the heart of the family because she knew how to be goofy. Two, she left because there’s no other pictures of her in the house. Your dad -”
JJ had heard enough. It was too much. She was right about too much. He rarely spoke about his mom, too many buried memories. Without allowing her to speak any longer, JJ got up from his seat beside her and stood by the door. His hand was on the knob, watching as she stopped talking and a concerned expression crossed her face. JJ rolled his eyes, her fake sympathy only angering him. The last thing he needed was an empathetic Kook going around telling everyone his sob story. He didn’t care how needy he was, he was not going to sleep with her now.
“I want you to leave.” JJ said hoarsely, his throat closing as he tried to hold back tears.
As he said this, Charlie’s heart thumped in her ears. She quickly got up from her seat and slowly moved towards an angry JJ. With his hand still clutched around the knob, she slowly approached him. “JJ… I didn’t mean -”
“No,” JJ tensed up again as he saw her approach him. “You Kooks never do.”
Charlie stops in her tracks, soaking in his last words. “Kooks?”
JJ rolled his eyes. “Yeah, you Kooks. You wanna hear a real profile? All you Kooks are so fucking unhappy with your shitty lives you have to bother us with your bullshit. Well, I’m not gonna sit here and let you make me seem like a little poor boy who misses his mom.”
Charlie stays still and waits for JJ to finish before she speaks. “I’m sorry if I hit a nerve, I didn’t know I would be right.”
JJ cackled sarcastically, the door still not open. “Whatever.”
Charlie frowned. “JJ, I’m sorry. You’re right. I am a Kook and I couldn’t possibly understand -”
“Shut up.” JJ hisses, finally taking his hand off the door knob.
He does not move it again and for a minute, Charlie thinks he might not let her go. Then she sees why he’s moved his hand. His hand moves to his chest where she realizes he is having a panic attack. JJ falls to his knees, clutching his chest and heaving. Charlie rushes forward and wraps her arms around him, trying to get him to calm down. She feels like this is completely her fault. She opened a wound that hasn’t fully healed. It was all a joke but she took it too far.
“JJ,” Charlie said as she grasped onto each of his shoulder blades. He made eye contact with her, his face beat red from lack of oxygen. “Try and breathe.”
This had never happened to JJ before, let alone with a girl in his room. Yes, he would have a couple of panic attacks every couple of weeks but never in public and never in front of a girl he wanted to sleep with. The embarrassment only added to the inability to breathe. His mind raced a mile a minute, screaming for him to just breathe. But it was easier said than done. His chest rose and fell rapidly, his breath coming out in large heaves. His chest was hurting and he honestly believed he was going to die. In front of a Kook, nonetheless.
JJ shook his head at Charlie, trying to tell her he couldn’t. Charlie nodded, holding eye contact. “Yes you can.” Her hands moved from his shoulders to his face, gently cupping both sides of his face. “Breathe in.” Charlie instructed for JJ to copy her as she took a deep breath. “Breathe out.”
At first, it was so difficult for him to do but Charlie was not about to give up on him. As minutes passed, she continued to breathe with JJ and help him through his panic attack. Soon, his breaths became even again and only when she was sure he was okay, she let go of the sides of his face. They didn’t speak for many minutes, the both of them not finding the right words to say. They were only fighting ten minutes ago and just now, she had helped JJ through a difficult time where he couldn’t breathe.
Finally, Charlie was the first to speak. She stood up first, reaching out to help JJ up. When he got to his feet, his mind still a little foggy, she spoke. “JJ, I’m -”
“Shh.” JJ quieted her by shushing her.
Charlie instantly stopped speaking, looking directly at JJ. She was mortified because of what had happened and wanted nothing more than to apologize profusely. When JJ wouldn’t let her, she instead waited until he said his peace. She knew some bad words were going to be exchanged but she accepted that. After all, she had basically given him a panic attack. Instead, JJ did the exact opposite. He said nothing for a while. It seemed like he was debating something in his mind and when he finally had made his decision, he looked at Charlie. She was about to try and speak again but she never got the chance; JJ’s hands quieting her. He reached forward for her and cupped her face in his hands before pulling her forward into a heated kiss. This kiss had caught her off guard and she barely had time to react and kiss him back before his lips were off hers again.
JJ felt how hot his cheeks were becoming as he watched Charlie look at him in awe. He had never felt so embarrassed to kiss a girl before but now, he was. He tried to convince himself it was because of his most recent episode, his whole body was weak and was mistaking weakness for nervousness.
As if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, JJ finally spoke. “Sorry.” JJ wanted to slap himself. Why in the hell did he say sorry? He watched as Charlie shook her head, a smile on her face.
“It’s okay.” She whispered, her lips tingling. That was her first kiss and it felt wonderful. And this time, the feeling was mutual.
With a huge surge of confidence, Charlie grabbed JJ by the collar and pulled his forward. When he was only inches away, she leaned in close and kissed him. JJ reacted quicker than her, kissing her back almost instantly. Although this was only the first time she was kissing a boy, JJ would have never guessed that was so. She kissed very passionately, even knowing when to break for air. Slowly, as their kisses deepened, JJ guided her to his bed where he wanted her. This time, he had no ill intentions.

JJ never lay on his back when girls kissed him. Instead, he always took charge, hovering over them. His hands would be on their belt in no time and the rest was easy. This time, however, he lay on his back and allowed for Charlie to hover over him as they kissed.
This part was supposed to be easy for him. This was his specialty but, as he kissed Charlie with his hands still not moving from her face, he seemed to forget. It was as if the last years of sexual escapades had never happened and he was a virgin again. This only annoyed him. He wanted to impress her. He wanted to show her how skilled he was but his arms seemed to be limp as Charlie’s hands dropped lower and lower, caressing his body. JJ almost felt embarrassed. He had been waiting to sleep with Charlie ever since that day at the parlor and now, he seemed like an innocent virgin who was scared to make the first move.
Charlie lay on JJ, her legs entangled in his. “JJ, you can touch me, if you want.” She felt slightly embarrassed by what she said but she had a feeling JJ was too nervous to notice. He seemed to be frozen in place, an awkward boy who she knew was experienced.
JJ nodded, glancing at her lips before connecting them once again and kissing her. He felt even more embarrassed now. A girl, who he knew to not be as nearly as experienced as he was, was now telling him how to make out. The world had obviously turned on its axis. There was no way he wasn’t in an alternate universe. Still, he nodded his head and finally moved his hands from her face to the end of her back. As they continued to kiss, his hands lay there and he made a point to softly caress them back and forth.
JJ had never felt as embarrassed as he did then. Not only was he acting if he never touched a girl before, but his heart beat was thumping so loudly in his head, he thought he might faint. This had never happened and he wondered why, out of all the girls, was it happening with Charlie? He had hooked up with girls hotter than Charlie and they never scared him but now, this plain brunette had changed something. As their kissing developed into more, clothes thrown haphazardly all over the floor, JJ asked himself if maybe it was different because he had never met a girl like Charlie ever. Finally, he felt the same string Charlie had felt before and it knotted around his heart, pulling him closer to Charlie.
Time, mystical time
Cutting me open, then healing me fine
Were there clues I didn’t see?
When it was all said and done and Charlie lay beside him, tired and naked, JJ knew he’d never be the same. Everything was different. The kisses had become more intense. The heat of adoration radiated from her body, and for the very first time, JJ made love to someone. It was so overwhelming, particularly for someone who had never been handled like this before. As Charlie snuggled closer to JJ, her eyes ready to close any minute, JJ started to get scared. 
“You okay?” Charlie asked, even though she was in more pain than he was. She had just lost her virginity to JJ and he didn’t even know. She decided against telling him for now, scared to ruin the mood.
Although still in a lot of pain, she couldn’t be happier. She had always wanted to feel loved when she lost her virginity and she finally had. Charlie never took sex too seriously, even though she was a hopeless romantic because most of the time, it was never how you imagined it. She had been warned that it would be dull but that was not her experience at all. She felt safe and protected. JJ had barely said more than a word or two to her during but she could tell how nervous he was, which only made this experience more lovely to her. She was utterly happy beyond belief in that moment.
JJ couldn’t speak, his throat rough. Instead, he nodded slowly and mustered up enough strength to say only one word. “Sleep.” And so she did.
You have to understand where JJ is coming from before I tell you the rest of the story. He grew up with an abusive father, one that would hurt more than he loved. His mother was his shining light, taking any bad situation and turning it into a good one. She loved JJ but was mentally ill herself and the more violent his father got, the more her mind would deteriorate. Sometimes, his mother would be so depressed, she would forget to feed him and JJ had to make his only lunch at six years old. Although his mother tried her best, JJ spent most of his childhood alone until he met John B., Kiara and Pope. And he only met them after his mother left when he was six. JJ grew up in an unstable home where the people that were supposed to love each other, didn’t. He grew up not believing in love and in turn, never experienced love. Of course, he loved his friends but that was a different kind of love. Every girl he was with was just another way to fill the void where he knew romantic love was supposed to be. That’s why he never felt guilty about inviting Charlie over; he was sure nothing would come out of it. But here he was, feeling the emotion he had thought never existed. So, in order to protect himself from what he knew to be the scariest thing to happen to him, he decided to never talk to Charlie again. 
She was the only girl to ever change his mind about love so, instead of facing his feelings head on, he hid from her. After that day, she tried to call him but he never answered. Everytime her number appeared on his phone, he felt the string connecting him to her tug a little but he never answered the phone. He was scared and people who are scared do stupid things.
Charlie had no experience with boys before JJ so at first, she had no idea he was avoiding her. At first, she suspected he was busy. He did have a job and it took up most of his time. Although she tried to be positive, as the days progressed into weeks, she soon realized he was not busy but in fact avoiding her. It came to her after two weeks of leaving messages on his phone and silence. She was with Sarah and Rafe, watching the sun set as they made s’mores. It came to her all at once as she watched the sky get darker and when it sunk in, she burst into tears. At first, they were silent tears but the second Sarah noticed and asked her if she was okay, she started blubbering like an idiot. Sarah had suspected something was wrong but wanted Charlie to come to her organically, not forcing her to tell her what was bothering her. Rafe wanted to stay, due to his feelings for Charlie. Sarah would not allow him to be around and only when he left, did she finally ask Charlie to tell her the entire story.
And when she did, all Sarah saw was red. Charlie was the sweetest person she knew. When they were eight years old, Charlie had introduced herself to Sarah by kissing the paper cut on her thumb and praying for a speedy recovery. Everyone loved Charlie; it was hard not to. She was good to every person she met and to see JJ disregard her like this upset Sarah in so many ways. 
“You should just march right up to his steps and give him a piece of your mind.” Sarah frowned, wrapping her arms around her crying friend.
“Y-you know I c-can’t.” Charlie sobbed, hiccups interrupting her words.
Sarah leaned back, making eye contact with her friend. “And why not?”
Charlie shrugged, wiping the tears from her cheeks. Her cheeks were stained black from her running mascara. “I’m embarrassed.”
Sarah stood up from her seat beside Charlie and scoffed loud enough for Rafe to hear on the other side of the door. Although he had left the room, he wanted to eavesdrop and find out what was wrong with Charlie. The more that was revealed, the angrier he got.
“Charlotte!” Sarah sang, only using her first name when she was upset with Charlie. “You are not the embarrassment in this situation. That Pogue is.”
“I just don’t think I can. I’m not that type of girl.” Charlie shrugged, sifting through her bag to find the makeup wipes and extra tube of mascara she keeps in there. “I’m not a confrontational girl.” She started wiping the black stains off her cheeks, glancing up at Sarah who was pacing the room back and forth.
Sarah crossed the room once more, kneeling in front of Charlie. “You can be.” She grabbed the wipe from Charlie’s hand and started to help her clean off the black stains. “You should be.”
And so, with a little extra mascara and confidence thanks to Sarah, Charlie decided that for at least today she would be that kind of girl. The girl that stands up for herself. She had hated confrontation but she knew Sarah was right. This was the type of situation where anyone should stand up for themself. JJ couldn’t use her anymore than he already had. She wouldn’t allow it. She was stronger. 
As Sarah drove to JJ’s house, Charlie in the passenger seat, Charlie kept trying to convince herself to be mean. Being mean never came naturally to Charlie but JJ had broken her and he deserved a little rudeness. It was hard though, for a particular reason. Everything had seemed so real. He really seemed nervous and it seemed like he truly cared for her. He had acted cocky at the beach when they first met and even when he was asking her out but never when they were alone. He was way more vulnerable with her. Sarah had said that maybe that was his plan and how he got so many girls to sleep with him but Charlie didn’t believe it. Not only because she loved JJ, but because if he was acting the entire time, he had to be the greatest actor in the world.
As Sarah parked in JJ’s driveway, the nerves finally set in for Charlie. She finally realized that this was actually happening and soon she would be confronting the boy that had hurt her so deeply. With a deep breath, she turned to Sarah and gave her a weary look.
“What do I even say?” Charlie asked, holding onto the door for balance. She felt light headed. 
Sarah shrugged. “What you feel.”
Although vague, Charlie understood what message her friend was trying to convey. Charlie had to speak from her heart and let JJ know how much he had hurt her, She didn’t know if he would try to apologize for his actions but she didn’t care. She was not looking for an apology. She loved JJ, she was not afraid to admit it, but she was not going to be dragged around like a lost puppy and made to look foolish. She had more dignity than that. She wasn’t sure why JJ did what he did. Maybe he was scared, or maybe he did it for fun but that wasn’t why she was upset. She was upset because he had not let her know what his true intentions were. Charlie believed in honesty before anything else and if JJ wasn’t going to be honest with her from the beginning, maybe he wasn’t the type of guy she thought he was. 
As she climbed the steps to his house, she thought back to when she first saw him. She had known the rumours about him before and she was warned by many people, Sarah included, but there had been something about him that was so magnetic. It was as if there was a small string connected to him that was pulling her forward. Looking back to their first encounter at the beach, she could see how uninterested he was in her. Hindsight is 20-20 though because in the moment she didn’t realize. She blamed herself in some ways . Maybe if she hadn’t been such a hopeless romantic, none of this would have happened. 
She stopped in front of his door, making no effort to knock on the door. Suddenly, relief washed over Charlie and she realized something. She was better than this. She didn’t need or want an explanation. The people that are nice to her, loved her. The people that went out of their way to help her are the people that love her. She was so in love with the idea of love that she forgot to remember what the reality was sometimes. The reality was that although everyone should be loved, some people don’t want that. Maybe JJ was one of those types of people or maybe not. It didn’t matter. She knew she deserved love and she didn’t need to yell at JJ or give him a piece of her mind to remind herself that she was worthy of love. She knew she was already. She took some comfort in knowing that she would not feel like this forever and soon, that string that had tied them together would break.
Without knocking on his door, Charlie turned right back around and made her way back to Sarah’s car. As she got in, she smiled for the first time in weeks. She felt better and she didn’t even need to talk to JJ.
“What happened?” Sarah questioned, watching as her friend who was now smiling buckled in.
“I just decided I’m better than that.” Charlie explained, finally looking to her friend. She was scared to see her friend’s reaction to this sudden realization but Sarah only smiled. 
As Sarah put her car in reverse, slowly moving farther and farther away from JJ’s house, she felt the invisible string around her heart loosen.
And isn’t it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?
Sarah had not been looking as she was pulling out of JJ’s driveway. She was too focused on her friend’s newfound confidence that she almost completely disregarded the blonde boy riding a skateboard behind her car. When she finally registered JJ in her rearview camera, she slammed her foot against the break and let out a loud gasp. JJ, who had been thinking of Charlie ever since he saw her last, looked up and, to his surprise, saw a red caravan two inches from him. He frowned, thinking it was one of those loudy child services social workers coming again unannounced. He got off his skateboard and trudged up to the drivers side of the car to tell them off. When he saw Sarah Cameron instead, his eyes widened. What the hell was she doing here? When his eyes shifted to the passenger’s seat, he gasped. 
Charlie, who was gripping onto her seat at the abrupt stop Sarah had made, had not looked up to see JJ on the outside of the car until Sarah called her name.
“Charlie?” Sarah squeaked out, looking to her friend who was trying to catch her breath.
“Hm?” She looked up, her eyes already wide with fear but when she saw JJ, she let a small gasp out as well. 
When her and JJ made eye contact, she knew she couldn’t avoid him any longer. She had to end this; she had to close this awful chapter out her life. So, with her hands shaking, she grabbed onto the ledge of the door and opened it. She swung her legs over the seat and shakingly placed them back on the ground. With a deep breath, she walked to the front of Sarah’s car, where JJ was waiting for her. 
“Charlie…” JJ sighed, seeing the girl he hadn’t stopped thinking about since he first met her. He had been lying to himself for too long. He had loved her the second she had asked him if he liked teal.
Teal. The colour of the shirt she was wearing now. Teal. The colour of his newly painted nails.
“I was gonna yell at you.” She said calmly, her eyes watering as she watched the boy that had caused her so much pain. It seemed that his eyes were watering too now but she wasn’t going to fall for it again. She couldn’t let herself fall again. “But I can’t be anyone but myself. We have to be who we are in this world. And if you wanna be like this for the rest of your life, please leave me out of it.”
“I’m sorry.” JJ blinked fast, not wanting to cry in front of her. He had caused her too much pain, his own pain seemed miniscule now. “I don’t even know who I am. People expect me to be so many things, I don’t know.”
Charlie shook her head. “Forget about what everyone else wants, figure out what you want.”
JJ shrugs. “I don’t know yet.”
“When you know, find me.” Charlie raises her hand to cup one of his cheeks. He rests his head against her hand for a moment but she pulls away too quickly. 
She starts to back away from him but before she can enter Sarah’s car again, JJ speaks. “I hope I haven’t changed your mind about love, Charlotte.”
The way he says her full name tells her everything. She gives him a small smile, shrugging. “Don’t worry, Maybank, I’m still a hopeless romantic.”
A string that pulled me
Out of all the wrong arms, right into that dive bar
Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire
Chains around my demons
Wool to brave the seasons
One single thread of gold
Tied me to you
Days turned into months and before they were both ready, JJ and Charlie graduated. They had seen each other on a few more occasions, such as at his work or at a party, but it was only ever a passing glance. People say time is the best healer and that much was true. For Charlie and JJ, they both felt better as time passed. Although time had passed and somewhat healed, they were not the same.
JJ, for one, had not slept with a single girl since he was with Charlie. He was utterly broken and for months, he refused to even go out to parties. But, with the persistence of his friends, he finally tried to get back into his old rhythm. And, with his old rhythm, came a slew of girls at his disposal. Surprisingly, JJ actually dated a few of them and decided against sleeping with them. Charlie had changed him in the best way. He no longer was fulfilled by one night stands and instead dated girls for weeks. This might not seem like much but for JJ, it was progress. None of them were like Charlie but, with each relationship, it taught him how to be a better person. For one of the first times in his life, he felt whole being by himself. He even got a scholarship to a college on the mainland for the Coast Guard Academy. JJ was beginning to find himself.
Charlie was different too. She grew more confident. She now could recognize when people were taking advantage of her and, instead of ignoring it like she usually would, she would face them head on. She also confronted Rafe with his infatuation with her, something she inadvertently knew about for a while now. They remained friends through it all and she actually respected Rafe even more after it. She also joined the debate team and found her calling; law. She loved debating and began her interest in law by reading tons and tons of textbooks for law school. After months and months of trying to get over JJ, she finally felt herself start to move on. That’s when she finally went out with David, a guy on her debate team. They went out for a couple of weeks and when it ended, it was amicable. Her love for David was nothing like JJ’s but he made her feel secure in her feelings and she appreciated his support. Towards the end of the school year, she had got accepted to Yale, the ivy league school of her choice. She would be away from her friends and family for four years or more but she was excited to start studying law. 
At their graduation, they both saw each other and, for the first time since they spoke, they smiled at each other. This smile was bittersweet considering they both still loved each other, but they were glad that life was going well for the both of them. They had grown and found themselves.
Cold was the steel of my axe to grind
For the boys who broke my heart
Now I send their babies presents
One night, after classes in their respective schools had started, JJ had a revelation. He had returned to OBX for the weekend and found this revelation in his enemy; Rafe Cameron. 
JJ and his friends had promised each other to always meet for the weekend in OBX so they never lost touch but Pope and Kiara had been accepted in schools on the west coast so they were hours and hours away. John B and JJ kept their promises while Kiara and Pope skyped them and spoke all night. They were all still close, maybe even closer, since high school. One night, after Pope and Kiara had signed off, John B and JJ were still not tired and wanted to go out. Sarah had started dating John B only a few months before their graduation and although she was rude to JJ at first, he had grown on her. She wasn’t here this weekend so the boys were bored without her rambunctious ideas. John B had proposed they went out for late night ice cream and since JJ had no other ideas, he agreed to go.
As they waited in line, speaking amongst themselves, Rafe was waiting in line behind them. They had not seen him for months and, at first, they did not recognize him. Only when he tapped JJ’s shoulder, did their eyes widen at the sight of their old enemy. The first thing JJ saw was his teal shirt. His mind went to Charlie.
“What do you want?” John B was very aggressive when he first made eye contact with Rafe but JJ could see what John B didn’t. He wasn’t here to fight. His eyes were soft, almost said to see JJ and John B again.
“I wanna talk to JJ.” His voice is just above a whisper and somehow, JJ trusts him.
Before John B can defend his friend, JJ puts a hand on his friends shoulder. John B looks to him in confusion but says nothing and waits for JJ to speak. “Let’s step outside.”
Gold was the color of the leaves
When I showed you around Centennial Park
Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven
Rafe and JJ had never had a heart to heart. The only choice words they ever spoke to each other was when they were beating eachother up. Now, as they stood outside the ice cream parlour where JJ had previously worked, they seemed to be standing in a comfortable silence.
“What’s up man?” JJ asked, looking to the window where he saw John B ordering his and JJ’s ice cream.
“I want to let you know you’re a complete idiot.” Rafe swallows harshly and steps closer towards JJ. 
For a moment, JJ thinks he might punch him by the anger in his eyes and how his fists are clenched tightly together. But the moment passes and Rafe remains quiet until JJ speaks. “Why?”
“She’s completely in love with you and you’re still here, ordering fucking ice cream.” Rafe spits, unclenching and then clenching his fists.
JJ’s shoulders slump. He wondered how the hell Rafe knew but he didn’t want to dwell on that. “Rafe, it’s complicated.”
Rafe shakes his head, a little calmer now. “No, it’s not. I loved her so much and when I told her, you know what she said?” He paused and only when JJ shrugged, did Rafe continue. “She told me she was waiting for a guy to find himself. So, have you found yourself?”
JJ nodded. “Yeah, but it’s been too long. She probably told you that months ago. My windows closed. Besides, she’s at Yale.”
Rafe shook his head incredulously. “She told me that last week dude.”
JJ felt like he might faint right there at this news. He felt light headed and he held onto Rafe’s shoulder and he tried to find his balance. After all this time, it wasn’t too late. After all this time, she still loved him. He looked back up to Rafe with a smile on his face. He stood straight back up, knowing what he had to do next. 
“Rafe, if John B asks where I’ve gone, tell him sorry, but I have to go see about a girl.”
Time, wondrous time
Gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies
And it’s cool
Baby, with me
Charlie had begun a running regimen when she started at Yale. They had a beautiful track on campus and before every class every morning, she would run for two hours, shower, and then go to whatever class she had that day. On days she had off, she would take her time and on Saturday mornings, when no one had classes, she took extra time. She would sprint for a couple moments, then jog and walk and start all over again. Since she started this exercise, she could see an improvement in her health and stress. Whenever her mind brought her to places she didn’t want to be, she would run. Running had begun to become her therapy, along with her actual therapy.
On that particular Saturday, she was running late; figuratively of course. She had slept through her 6am alarm and, by 7am, she was rushing out her dorm to get to the track. She had tried to always get there extra because after 8am, it got too crowded. But, as she rushed down the steps on her campus dorm and out into the crisp autumn air, she came face to face with a certain blonde boy.
When she finally recognized him, a gasp left her lips. He looked disheveled from his journey and while half of her wondered what he could possibly want from her, the other half was crying with joy because she knew.
JJ walked up one step of the stairs, the closest he’s been to her since all those months ago. “Charlie, I -”
“No speeches.” She cuts him off, wanting to know his answer but too impatient. “Just tell me if you know.” She can’t wait any longer. All of these months of waiting and praying and now he’s here. She forgives him. She forgave him months ago. But now, she needs to know if she’s wasting her time all over again.
“I know now.” JJ looks at her, breathless.
The smile on her face tells him everything he needs to know. She knows too.
And isn’t it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?

Frankie “Catfish” Morales NSFW Alphabet
Tumblr media
Not my GIF
A/N: Here is a NSFW Alphabet for the love of my life, Frankie. As with the Javier one, these are just what I put to his character and my views may differ to others so please be respectful of mine and others’ views :) Sorry for any mistakes.
Genre: Smut 
Warning: fem!reader, mentions of sex, nothing too much, Pedro Pascal comes with his own warning
Summary: An A-Z of Frankie’s bedroom antics...
A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)
As I’m sure we are all aware by now, Francisco Morales is an absolute sweetheart. And when it comes to sex, he is no different. After doing the deed, he will make sure you have everything you may need. Water, food, a shower, whatever. He will rush to the bathroom to get a warm wash cloth to clean you. And he will cuddle you forever if you want him too. He is just the most gentle and loving man, he will do anything to make sure you are okay.
B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
On you, he loves your thighs. Because he loves to be between them so much. He loves when they wrap around his head when he eats you out, and he loves to watch as they tense and shake when you’re about to release. He loves how soft they are, he loves to touch them, to squeeze them, and to kiss them. 
On him, would probably have to say his mouth? Simply because he loves how quickly he can get you to come from using it. Because he loves to eat you out (which will be a common theme)
C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)
He loves to come in you, to fill you up. But he loves to come on your body to. But he won’t come on your face, he doesn’t find the thought you your precious face being covered in his mess attractive...
D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
He had liked you for a while, you had been friends for a long time but you and he had both been in and out of relationship. He was still in the army when you first started dating, two years before he left, and to keep him going on those long cold nights in a far off country, he may have taken a pair of your panties with him from his last visit to your place, his favourite pair but one you weren’t that fond of and that you didn’t wear that often so he wasn’t worried about you not being able to find them. I imagine you can think of what he did with them while they were in his possession...But just in case...
He would either, hold them to his nose, breathing in the sweet scent of you while he got himself off. Or he would wrap them around his dick while he fucked himself, he loved the feeling of the rough lace against his skin, he imagined dragging his dick over your clothed wetness as he had so many times, he loved the way you would shiver and whimper when he did this.
E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)
Frankie had been in and out of relationships before and after his army career, they never lasted that long simply because Frankie didn’t really have any interest in relationships. But he’s been with enough girls to make him know what he’s doing. 
But every girl is different, so he found that things that worked on others didn’t work on you, and things that didn’t work on others worked on you. He had fun exploring your body, finding out what touches got you going the most. What touches you didn’t like so much.
F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)
Hear me out, 69... 
Okay look. Frankie loves to eat you out. It’s his favourite. And something about you being above him, you perfect hands and perfect mouth on his dick just sends him over the edge. To feel you moan against him when he sucks your clit, he just loves it. 
But he’s also a big fan of missionary, it’s easier for him to worship you, to feel you more.
G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)
He is defiantly more serious during sex, leaving his goofiness for out of bed. Sometimes his goofiness would lead to sex, like tickle fights would lead to giggly sex, but he prefers to keep it serious.
H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)
Frankie is not very particular when it comes to down there. He trims of course but he’s not necessarily tidy. He just makes sure it’s not a complete mess and that he’s clean, but unless you said something about it, he won’t really change his routine
I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…) 
Frankie’s idea of romance during sex is simply just kissing you as much as possible without seeming overwhelming or forced. Soft and gentle kisses to your neck, to your cheeks and of course your lips. 
His hands will touch every inch of your skin, caress you, make you sigh in content. He worships your body, he wants you to know how beautiful you are, and he won’t stop touching you until you admit it.
J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)
He doesn’t do it as much as he used to. He doesn’t really have any need to. Most of the time when he used to get off it would be out of frustration, not out of sexual desire to come. But now he’s with you, he doesn’t get like that. And if he ever does, you are more then happy to help him.
K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)
Whispers. Does that count? He’s not particularly kinky, he just kind of does what feels right in the moment, so if it feels like the right time to tie you to the bed then he will. He doesn’t necessarily think prior of what he’s going to do, it just happens. 
He loves to watch you finger yourself. He loves to watch you touch yourself, and talk to him while you’re doing it. He fucking loves it. He loves to watch as your thighs shake when you bring yourself to you climax. He loves to hear your words as you tell him how good it feels and you tell him how much you wish it was his fingers touching you. 
He also has a praise kink. Being in the army meant he faced a lot of criticism, especially when something went wrong, one small slip up mean the destruction of the whole mission. The first time you had sex together and you whispered how good he felt, he came right then. It just makes him feel so good to know he’s making you feel good and that you tell him that. He loves when you tell him he well he’s doing or how good he feels, how big he is etc.
L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)
Somewhere inside. Where he knows it’s safe. 
He defiantly favours the bedroom, but he is also fond of doing it on the sofa. Because the times you do have sex on the sofa are more spur of the moment sessions. One minuet you’re making out like teenagers, the next he’s plowing into you. But the bed it bigger so he can do more with you there.
M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)
He loves when you whisper to him. Or speak softly at least. It doesn’t even have to be anything particularly sexy, just hearing the softness of you voice, it relaxes his and turns him on. (Asmr much)
N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn-offs)
Frankie would never dream of hurting you. Especially during sex, the most intimate of times. So anything to do with causing you harm he won’t do. He’s okay with light spanking and maybe a little choking but he won’t ever go further then that.
O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)
He is the best at oral. He knows how to use his mouth to get you off. He would spend all day between your legs, just eating you, if he could. He just loves the idea of having you completely submitted to his touch, and he takes pride in himself that he’s able to get you off so amazingly just from his mouth. His praise kink comes into play here where you are moaning how good his tongue is, your fingers tangled in his hair holding him against you. He thinks he has some sort of magic touch, of course you would agree with him on that. 
He definitely prefers giving then receiving, but he won’t say no if you ever wanted to suck him off, but you would have to let him repay the favour by letting him eat you out afterwards.
P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)
He definitely prefers to go slow. He just loves to feel. He loves to relish in the feeling of being with someone, someone as amazing as you. And he wants to feel everything. He wants to draw it out as long as possible so he can remember it for longer. And he just makes its seem so damn good. Feeling every part of your body with his mouth, and his hands while he slowly thrusts in and out of you, in long, even strokes. 
But he can go fast and rough if he wants to. This usually happens in your sofa sessions, he’s all riled up and just has to have you as soon as possible.
Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)
Being in the army, he had to live with getting himself off quickly before and after a mission. And you kind of get bored of it. So he’s not really a fan of getting it out quickly. He definitely prefers to take his time with you, and he feels like they’re a little degrading? He loves you and thinks the world of you and he thinks you deserve the upmost respect and care, so for him, taking you quickly in some bar bathroom is not his favoured or most desired activity. 
But, if you are in a bar, and you’re teasing him under the table while he’s trying to talk to the guys, he’ll pull you away and take you, obviously he’ll try and draw it out for as long as possible. He knows the idea of possibly getting caught turns you on...
R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)
He’s always a little hesitant when you ask him to try new things. He’ll do it, but he may not enjoy it. He’s not used to it. He’s used to sex. Not all the kinky shit that kids are into nowadays. But he’ll try it for you, because he loves you and he’ll do anything for you. But he will also be very open if he doesn’t like something. But he’ll try his best to hold out in doing it if he can see you’re enjoying it.
S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)
Frankie usually is only good for one long round. But that’s all you need really. In one round you feel seven layers of heaven. He pulls you down the sweetest road of pleasure, every single time. 
But he can go a couple of rounds depending on how worked up he is. Especially with the aforementioned sofa sex...
T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)
Frankie doesn’t use any toys on himself. He’s always been used to using his hand, and in the army, you weren’t really allowed those sorts of things. But you use one, and he’s happy to use that vibrator on you if you want him too. And he loves to watch you use it on yourself.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Frankie isn’t really that much of a tease. You are the tease in your relationship. Unless he’s drunk, he can’t ever follow through on his teasing because he just gets so turned on by your facial expressions that he just has to get inside you. It’s not that he’s not good at it, he is, god he is. One little touch to your inner thigh and your already soaked, even more so if he whispers something in your ear, but the second you let out a whimper or a moan, or the whisper of his name, he’s gone. He can’t continue. He has to have you.
V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)
He isn’t that loud. He gets turned on by hearing your noises so he won’t want to do anything that will prevent him from hearing them. So he stays as quiet as possible, burying his face in your neck to silence his moans. But he gets loud when he comes, always. He lets out a low groan when he comes, and it’s just the most beautiful noise you could ever hear.
W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)
He had always dreamed of taking you in one of his helicopters. Having you ride him while he’s in the pilots chair, or seeing you touch yourself while he’s flying, or even better, you sitting the the pilots seat (not flying obviously) while he eats you out. That thought got him through those cold nights.
But since getting his license temporarily suspended, that fantasy was pushed into the far future...
X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)
He’s a fair size. He’s long and a little think but he’s not incredibly big, he a little above average, but to be fair, he’s never really cared about his size, it’s good enough for what it needs to do. And you’ve never seemed to voice any complaints about it. To you, he’s perfect.
Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)
You would think that spending 17+ years in the army, being deprived the loving touch of a woman, he would be much more wanting to have sex when he has the loving touch of a woman. But he’s not. His sex drive isn’t particularly high, he likes to cuddle. It’s really only if you do something to initiate sex, or if he’s just particularly turned on will he suddenly have a dying crave to fuck you. But he’s not constantly wanting to have you. Unlike some people he knows *cough* Santiago *cough* Benny *cough*
Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterward)
After mind blowing sensual sex, he usually is ready to call it a night, but he has to make sure you are okay before he does. And he’ll pull you into his arms, holding you against him all night because you are his comfort and he needs to know you are safe and that you are next to him.
His life in the army meant he would sleep alone, he wouldn’t have anything to hold at night and it would be cold, so he has to hold you to make up for all the nights he’s spent alone. And with you beside him, he finally feels safe.

Unlike last time Hetalia got a new season, the response has not been particularly positive, and I’m seeing a lot of twisted feelings towards the show and the fandom to a point where it seems long time content creators are stepping away from it. I know anyone still active who follows me either are or were fans of Hetalia, so it should be relevant for all y’all.
As a fan who never fell out of the show, I find the response sad though healthy, and even if I know I ghosted you all on tumblr (sorry) because of time constraints and mental health, I still make the occasional CMVs. Fact is, I do not let go of special interests very easily. It seems a lot of you all started watching the show at 10-14 years old, where I myself was a bit older – 17 – and had grown a bit more. Long story short, my Naruto phase was your Hetalia phase, and no, it’s not pretty. You’re young and stupid and don’t know much critical thinking and make mistakes, and you have to forgive yourself for those mistakes, especially when the content you consume is associated with the real world in a sensitive subject.
But after seeing all these posts explaining all the bad we see from Hetalia, I wanted to make a post explaining what I learned from it – all the good that can come with a show like this if you stay aware of perspective. I am not excusing all the bad that came with it, for WWII is a serious event in history that should never be forgotten nor made fun of, but here goes:
I went from a ‘war-is-cool’ history buff to one who truly delved in and learned the intricacies of history, being fascinated with the ‘hows’ and the ‘whys’ as well as getting an excuse to look at the histories of nations which I’d never otherwise be interested in, and I know a lot of other people in the fandom did the same. This is how history should be known, as that is how we can truly apply it to the real world.
I learned to separate people from their countries. To give an example that’ll hit close to much of tumblr, when I started Hetalia I hated Americans with a passion because of the road “you” had put the world on, and I considered all y’all dumb and bad as a cause of it. Getting that excuse to take an ACTUAL look at how your nation functioned and what communities truly hid behind the borders, I learned instead that your government is corrupt as shit, your society is rigged against you and you have been forced to stand by and watch as chaos happens. It got applied to the world as a whole, where I considered other nations being as dynamic as my own, with people both good and bad, and the actions of the nation is even less of a reflection of the people in the cases of corrupt democracies or dictatorships.
I separated from Colonial world views. I was never actively racist, brought up in a proper home, and already before Hetalia I fiercely protected the rights of Muslims who are often mistreated in my nation and tried to hear them out when possible. But I was a Westerner, and even if the nation I came from had barely participated in invasions, I had learned to consider my culture ‘correct’ and native and African cultures ‘primitive’. While the journey was long, a step wise process of realizing things like there was nothing inherently ethically wrong eating dogs or partially incubated duck eggs, only in how the animals were acquired, that cultural progress is heavily dependent on perspective and that fucking genocide of native peoples still happen in this damn century, Hetalia was the stepping stone which gave me the interest in other nations to expand my world view. I probably ain’t done here – I have a whole life of outside influences to unlearn – but I’m further than most people I know in my near surroundings, and I’ve even managed to move my parents who originally taught me to respect people of all kinds in the first place.
I learned Nazis were people. This is a conversation which often comes up here on tumblr, and the demonization Nazi Germany and its government directly allows actual Nazis and fascists like Richard Spencer a free pass because they look groomed and proper. Until then, I’d simply assumed no one was ‘stupid enough to be a Nazi’ because of the atrocities of WWII and therefore looked at the world naively. Realizing how little true support Nazis had during WWII and similarly anyone could end down that pungent rabbit hole, I became careful of what I excused on social media and allowed myself to doubt seemingly normal people if their behaviour was alarming – such as the police man who is supposed to be a damn ‘hero’ of society.
I learned how to deal with material sensitive to others. A common problem in the fandom has always been the cosplaying and portrayal of Nazis, especially at cons and the like, and in a similar vein – I did blackface once because of Hetalia. The horrible thing about this is that blackface is immensely common in Europe – at least my own country – and blackface frequently happens at schools during ‘international’ events, where whole classrooms are assigned to portray a designated country. A whole of two times – in 6th grade as well as 2nd grade of high school – I was exposed to blackface as my class was given an African nation to portray – Somalia the first time, Kenya the second. No one, adult, teen or child, are aware of the history of race imitation in my country, but by the second time I was supposed to participate in dressing up as an African tribe, I’d understood the issue – thanks to Hetalia. My friend group of white, privileged, European teens discussed what symbolism was appropriate at cons or in videos – could we wear the Iron Cross? The Nazi flag? What if we burned it during the video? These thoughts are not usually a part of the mind of European youth, and I consider that a grave problem which leads to people making fun of ‘triggers’, downplaying racial issues and the like.
It offered me a means to make history personal. The biggest struggle for good history teachers and the reason we are often made to read and write letters from the periods we study is to make it seem real and get a emotional connection to these past, lost peoples. Hetalia offered puppets for me to place into historical contexts to make them truly real – the main driver pushing me away from mere fascination of war, since I suddenly felt the horrors of warfare through the characters that I loved. Things like Elizabeth I’s court, the conquests of Rome, the dissolution of the Kalmar Union, the battlefield of Somme, the invasion of America, damn slavery becomes different when something you already know is a part of it and you can see them in there. Hearing of people of the past should in itself be enough, and for the closest parts of history (WWII and afterwards) it always was for me, but we are human. We cannot understand the size of a billion, and we struggle understanding the lives of those living centuries before us, unless we are offered context.
I’m not blind to the issues of the fandom or the show. I was here for ‘the r*pist, the pervert and the p*dophile’, I know of South Korean and Chinese issues with the show, and I heard the gassing joke in the show’s dub and got nauseous from discomfort and anger. I’ve always been in the fringe of the fandom due to my social disabilities, so I don’t know everything that happened, but I’ve seen many racist OCs and disrespecting of historical sites. It’s not pretty, but I will believe these people, who were likely young, likely learned in time. And I may have been able to learn these things by other means, but not in the same way, and not through personal interest and research that’s helped me become sceptical and analysing of the world around me.
At its core, Hetalia is about watching a normal, nerdy guy learn how to draw, using stereotypic country personifications mainly from the perspective of Japan. It’s natural he chooses Japan, since he’s Japanese, and WWII is unfortunately the automatic historical event for most common people to focus on – but Hetalia doesn’t even solely focus on that, but is an amalgamation of vaguely correct historical situations played out by the characters, and often it is with the intent of comedy rather than the grimness often associated with historical settings which allows a wider audience than merely history nerds.
What I want you all to do is learn from your mistakes and forgive your younger selves for not knowing better. Maybe reflect on what you got from the show, rather than what you lost. A new generation of young Hetalians is likely coming with the new season, and us old timers might be able to help them avoid pitfalls if we stay around to teach them. The best of the show is compassion towards the people of the world combined and love of history, as I believe Hima wanted it – the worst is Nazi apologetics and racial stereotyping. We decide in what direction we take it, and what lessons we bring into the future.
TL;DR: As a lot of media intended for older audiences, Hetalia is a show which has to be watched critically, which makes it dangerous for young people to watch unhinged, but it also opens up for interest in the world beyond the borders you live within. We should be aware of the issues and learn from them, but in and of itself the show has a lot of good to offer in learning compassion for other nations and cultural groups.
