Tumblr media
As the saying goes, nothing is ever too late to fix, but this felt like a pretty impossible task. You kept the letter in the safest place, away with all your little box of memories you brought from home when you first moved out. It was for safe keeping and most definitely, for your eyes only. When your fiancƩ wasn't around, you'd steal a look at it more than once, tears were stained beautifully marking some of the ink unclear, but the words ran freely in your head, you could hear them aloud; stored in your brain like they had been imprinted.
You cried most days, didn't sleep most nights. Your mental health deteriorating and you were becoming numb to the events unfolding, just ready to get it over and done with. The weeks were passing in the blink of an eye but the time without Joe was impeccably mind numbing, he wasn't ever not in the forefront of your mind.
You saw him like a mirage in the dessert, imagining you'd seen him on the street but it was never him or just your head playing stupid tricks on you. It bothered you that everyone around you was happier than you were that you were to become a rich mans wife, a little trophy for him to parade around as he saw fit. It made you feel even worse that it was your parents that never failed to tell you each and every day how excited they were for the big day.
You were repulsed by even just your fiancƩ's name at this point, stricken down by the fact that this was going to be your life now, that nothing would ever get better, purely down to the fact that you were willing to sit back and let nothing be done about it. Some would refer to you as a coward, an idiot but not your Joe, not the one who confessed his love in the way he did.
Though everything about your friendship was ripped apart from between you, he still saw the beauty in you, he still so eloquently loved you with everything he could; that was the part that hurt the most. There were moments where you imagined what life could of been like if you both had just spoke your truths sooner, screamed them from the rooftops so that one didn't mishear the other, but life seems to throw way too many curveballs and unfortunately the happy ever afters you'd always believed in weren't ever to be your own. Not your happy ending. Not him.
There was only one thing that didn't stand right with you, that corrupted the only good you had left of him, the fact Joe knew that you were at that particular bridal shop that day, one out of many in the whole of London. How did he come to know of your whereabouts? Surely someone had to know the truth, yet it felt like hawk eyes were watching you from every angle and at this point you didn't know who to believe or who was on your side, so again; you kept everything stored away.
One thing was for sure, nothing was to deter you from tonight, the hen party or what you kept calling a big night out to your friends. You were in the mood to get borderline paralytic, to forget your own name and the shit pain you'd put yourself through for the good of nothing. It was only a few weeks now until you were to be unhappily wed to the not so love of your life, so instead of spending your time over analysing the fact of your so called misfortunes, you decided to focus on the present time and have a good time with your friends.
They no doubt spoiled you, bringing all the props from a bride to be sachet with their own matching ones to wear, to a pretty plastic and very much tacky tiara with a veil attached to it, they'd even forked out on a blow up penis and penis straws for your drinks. You knew your girl friend's would endure to make it a shabby hen night and they had excelled in just that. One of them had bought you the most revealing and undoubtedly short white dress, sequins and diamantes planted around the hem, covered in spouts of lace around the chest. You stood with a large glass of wine in your hand, making sure to take as many sips as you could away from fear of staining the material before you even got out of your house.
You'd near enough polished the whole bottle when it was time to leave, you had your hair curled, make up done by your friend that cared to apparently carry around her case of it wherever she went and you took one last look at yourself in the mirror, glammed up and ready to party.
"Ready ladies?" You smiled.
"A shot of dutch courage for the bride to be?" There was no doubt in your head that you wanted to push the words back down your friends throat when she uttered the last part, but the shot sounded a great idea, you nodded, a plastic shot glass immediately handed to you and tequila poured straight to the brim.
"To you princess!" You knocked the shot back, immediately choking at the given nickname, nobody called you that bar Joe, not even your husband to be. It was like glitter and gold when he said it but from anyone else it was a pure insult, for as much as you made out you hated it, you'd come to prefer it now he was no where to be seen.
Your friend patted your back at you attempting to catch your breath, you shook her off and pointed back to the bottle.
"Another." They all cackled at your desperation.
Taking at least two more before heading out, you could feel the effects pretty much straight away, you didn't know how far you'd make it through tonight, but you'd try your damned hardest to make it last, for the next day saw it another day closer to eternal damnation as you saw lightly to refer to it.
The buzzing nightlife of London was well and truly in full swing, giving you reason to breathe for the first time in months, the cloud in your brain now making a bee line for the bar to drown your sorrows further. You made it into the club after a rickety underground ride into the centre of town, singing poorly to the own tunes of your vocals annoying the sober people that probably just wanted to get home. The lights were dimmed, replaced by the strobe lights that shone on the middle of the dancefloor, your friend almost whacking people in her wake with the blow up penis she had clutched in her hands, holding it in the air like a flag that if any of you lost each other; this was the sign to find your way back.
You'd cleared the club of their tequila, throwing it back like nobodies business, heaving as each shot burned your throat unwillingly, you weren't about to quit either, you bought a bottle of vodka to initially share which you were sipping heavily on, not letting anyone touch your most prize possession of the night.
"Wait here, I need to pee." You yelled out under the deafening music. Your friend stuck her thumb up at you, turning her attention to the others that were clearly too busy to notice from their occupied status of playing tonsil tennis with a group of guys on the table next to you. You took a detour from the toilet and went out into the smoking area, you just needed a minute to yourself, time to breathe without anyone shoving the idea of anymore detail of your husband to be being so simply perfect for just one second.
You scattered through your bag to grab a cigarette, putting it straight to your lips and once again your lighter was no where to be seen. Scouting the area to find a group of men stood huddled in a corner saw you wander over, blurry eyed and thoughtless to ask them if you could borrow their flame so you could enjoy it in peace.
"Excuse me-" You stumbled into the back of one of them, tripping over air "can I trouble you for a lighter boys?"
Your eyes levitated upward to the person stood before you, the cigarette falling from your lips as your jaw almost fell to the floor.
"Well, you proved my theory. Princess." Oh. My. Fucking. God.
Joe pointed to your tiara, flicking it with his fingers before pulling out a fresh cigarette, putting it to your lips and lighting it for you.
"I-I-" You stuttered, nursing the vomit that was making it's way from your stomach and up out your mouth, you swallowed it back, taking a drag and blowing the smoke up into his face.
"A princess I am." You cringed at yourself, maybe it was the alcohol talking but you came across somewhat confident and it undoubtedly made him smile, the smile that you'd craved to see for so long now seemed so bizarre, so wrong to be witnessing, especially with the double vision also known as tequila, you were now seeing two of that beautiful specimen.
"Looking good princess." Another of the guys called out, Joe nudged his elbow back directly into his stomach, for their mocking only added to the pissed off look he was now letting onto.
The next drag you took probably consumed at least 80% of the cigarette you held between your lips, letting the smoke come out of your nose you threw it to the ground, your eyes following it, not being able to muster the courage to look back up at the man you loved.
"I have to go." You raced out of the smoking area and through the club, taking the long way around so none of the girls were to see you in your upset, tears falling like the heaviness of a waterfall, smudging your make up that was once intact. Pushing open the bathroom door, you rushed over to the sink, dry heaving, a mild panic attack eating you alive as you started to hyper ventilate.
"Are you okay?" Joe.
"You know this is the girls toilets." Of course he knew, of course you didn't know that he'd practically chased your tracks through to where you were.
"What are you doing here?" You snapped, once staring at his reflection through the mirror you managed to turn yourself around and scowl over at an apologetically faced boy who looked like he'd just been deflated.
"I'm on a night out, what are you doing here?" The sarcasm was imminent.
"Why did you have to be here though, in the same place at the same time as me. There are so many other places you could be, how?" Joe stepped closer to you and you stepped back.
"The timings impeccable right?" Joe barked a laugh and you threw yourself over at him, punching his chest so lightly that he could barely feel it, but both the alcohol and your anger was now to be took out on him.
"Did you get my letter?" You stopped immediately, throwing your arms around his back, clutching at his shirt, the term ugly crying had never looked better right now. You nodded into his chest.
"I missed you, princess."
You took a step back, your arms coming back down by your side, not long after grabbing the front of his shirt and dragging him into the stall, the door slamming so loudly as he pushed it back. Joe caged you up against the wall, lips inches away from each other, already raging for oxygen, your lungs both crying out for the limited oxygen that the bathroom was offering you.
"Stop, we can't." You begged so little that it only came out in a whisper.
"Watch me." Joe pushed his lips down onto yours, leaning a hand on the back of your thigh as one leg came to wrap around him, the other following as he pulled you up into his grip. What had you got left to lose anymore anyway, what was one little kiss going to achieve?
Your mouths opened wider with every smack of your lips, tongues colliding as if they were at war, the other trying to dominate their muscle every time each of you dared to take control. Your hands clutched to the back of his curls, squeezing lightly making Joe moan into your mouth, pressing his erection up against the inside of your thighs. Your dress already short, now rid up to your underwear line. You whimpered down his throat, feeling the goose bumps appear on the back of his neck.
Joe pulled back in an instant, his eyes overcome with darkness, pupils fully dilated but no sparkle left to be seen.
"You're right. We can't." Joe put you back down to the floor, unlocking the stall and stampeding toward the exit of the bathroom, a few girls looking over confused as to why a male was in the females. They left quickly when they saw the fire a blaze in your eyes.
"Joe, wait!" You felt your blood beginning to boil, tears rising to fall.
"I'm sorry." He turned slight but then left without a last glance, you fell to the floor wishing that you could turn back time. Your face pressed to your knees, crying out for him, but he never came back.
Confirming after this meeting that things could never be he same again. Could this moment have gone a different way had you of told him your feelings back?
This was worse than the last goodbye, a cruel fate.

Ruvik, Karl and the daemon bastard husband Ardyn šŸ˜‚šŸ’™
YES MY BOIS šŸ‘šŸ’•šŸ‘
Gonna go in the order you listed šŸ˜‰
Was gonna add video clips of my favorite moments, but you can only do one per post, so the rest are gifs šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
Ruvik
First impression: Woah, who is this guy, and why is he so powerful? Is he a demon? A vengeful spirit? I am very intrigued.
Impression now: Oh god heā€™s tragic. OH GOD HEā€™S TRAGIC.
Favorite moment: In the first Kidman DLC, The Assignment, Ruvik has some absolutely spectacular dialogue with her and Leslie at the very end, after cornering them in the church. It gives me chills every time and the delivery is perfect.
ā€œWeā€™re all their pawns, eventual victims.
They killed me! They ripped me apart, and took what they needed.
I will destroy what they wish to control.ā€
The elevator scene with Sebastian is also great, but man this one is just sublime in every way.
Idea for a story: Iā€™ve been playing with the idea for a x Reader fic with him, one in which they essentially kill him with kindness. He hasnā€™t experienced kindness or affection since the accident, so Iā€™m excited to explore his character dealing with someone who doesnā€™t immediately find him repulsive or isnā€™t intimidated by him. There will also be lots of bumbling on his end, cause even though heā€™s smart af, he doesnā€™t know the first thing about relationships šŸ˜‚
Unpopular opinion: He deserves compassion, and hating him is extremely shortsighted. Yes, he did terrible things, no one is debating that, but choosing to ignore the broken pieces of his humanity left in the game is being deliberately obtuse. Not saying you shouldnā€™t or canā€™t hate him, but it shouldnā€™t be without acknowledging his trauma. And putting others down for not hating him is downright juvenile.
Favorite relationship: Iā€™m all about that self ship, which is probably his best bet at getting any romance, based on beingā€¦well, a serial killer. Some of my friends have shown me Ruvik x Stefano though, and that relationship would be interesting to say the least šŸ˜†
Favorite head cannon: Touch starved af and craves affection. Although touch starved is basically cannon, I think he also deeply craves some kind of connection with someone. He lost everyone he cared about; his sister died in the fire, his parents locked him in a basement, his research partner betrayed him, which lead to his death (the one heā€™s discussing in the above quote). I head cannon he longs for someone he can trust, really trust, and anguishes over his loneliness.
Moving onā€¦
Karl Heisenberg
First impression: I hadnā€™t played the game, but Iā€™d seen pictures of him. For some reason I thought he was the main villain, and was working with Chris to make the main character help him (no fucking clue how I arrived here šŸ¤£šŸ¤£). Thought he was some big, gruff man who didnā€™t talk much and smiled even less. Why does he look like Ardyn?
Impression now: LMAOOO THIS DUDE IS A MASSIVE TROLL AND I AM SO HERE FOR IT šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ I could not have been more wrong about him (or the plot, still not sure how I got there). Heā€™s funny and I love his smile, and how much of a tool he is. I must say, I did not expect his voice to sound the way it does, but Iā€™m not complaining šŸ„°
Favorite moment: Why isnā€™t there more of him why isnā€™t there more WHY ISNā€™T THERE MORE??? Anyway, probably when he tries to convince Ethan to work with him.
ā€œNeither did I! But here we are.
And Iā€™m next in line, right? Kill me, move up the chain!
Well, fuck that!ā€
Heā€™s so animated here, I love it šŸ„°
Tumblr media
Idea for a story: Iā€™ve already mentioned I got something cookin in the old noggin, but I have more details on what I want to happen now, so Iā€™ll be happy to share them! Surprise surprise, itā€™s x Reader, where theyā€™re a botanist sent to survey the remote mountains of Romania. Collect data on the plants there for the university they work at, along with two colleagues who are cartographers, going to update outdated maps of the area. They get captured and typical RE shenanigans ensue, but I also want reader to be connected to Umbrella somehow, which I hope you can help me with. I want Miranda to know too, so she starts sending reader to all the Lords to see what happens. Little does she know reader starts to osmose some of all their powers, turning into something far more dangerous than she couldā€™ve imagined.
Thatā€™s all I got for now, no more spoilers! Unless you want them šŸ˜‰
Unpopular opinion: He has more respect for his partners than some of you seem to think. Iā€™ve read plenty of stories where Karl is super hands on with his partner, slapping their ass and manhandling them all the time, sometimes hours after meeting them. Not my fuckin Heisenberg. He keeps his hands to himself, unless he has explicitly gotten permission to do any touching. Honestly wish some of yā€™all would tag your stories when you make him all grabby, itā€™s kinda triggering for me.
Favorite relationship: My first answer is going to be x Reader for all of these, Iā€™m a sucker for the stuff. Although Karl x Ethan sounds endlessly amusing to me. Karl would be the puppy bouncing around everywhere while Ethan would brood in a corner šŸ˜‚
Favorite head cannon: Extremely sensitive to trauma responses, and is good at comforting, due to the things Miranda did to him. He doesnā€™t want anyone he likes to know what that helplessness or fear feelings like.
Last, but the farthest thing from leastā€¦
Ardyn Izunia Lucis Caelum
First impression: I knew he was the villain before I started the game, but thatā€™s all I knew. Thought he was funny as I actually got into the game, and why the hell is he everywhere??
Impression now: GREEK PLAY LEVEL TRAGIC HERO AND MY HEART ETERNALLY ACHES FOR HIM. Seriously, they did NOT need to fuck Ardyn up so much, thereā€™s plenty of shit that happened to him that could make someone a villain by itself. But the gods and Squenix said ā€˜fuck this guy in particularā€™. I thought yā€™all called him ā€˜trash Jesusā€™ cause he looks like the guy, but NOOOOO thereā€™s actually fucking parallels between the two. The healer, the betrayal, the crucifixionā€¦not exactly subtle when you take the time to look. Aside from all that, I still love how funny he is, he always makes me laugh (when heā€™s not making me cry), and heā€™s super smart. Plus, I will always admire how he made it so he wins no matter what happens in the end. That takes some galaxy brain level planning.
Favorite moment: Imma let it speak for itself;
ā€œYou think ten years is a long time? It is nothing to me!
I have lived in darkness for AGES!ā€
God, the fucking level of emotion absolutely dripping from that last word kills me very time. Darin de Paul did excellently with Ardynā€™s lines up until that point, but this one hits differently. The sheer anguish and sorrow you can hear in his voice is breathtaking. Made worse when you realize heā€™s being literalā€¦he has spent actual ages locked in a dark cell. Words canā€™t properly give it credit.
Tumblr media
Idea for a story: yall chapter 11 of ADCT is gonna be like 10k+ words šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Not done yet and itā€™s already at 7k lol. Hope that makes up for the 6 month hiatus šŸ˜µā€šŸ’« Aside from that though, I have another idea for a long fic, albeit a shorter one. Where reader gets washed up on Angelgard before Verstael, and is horrified to find Ardyn strung up on the island. After freeing him, they have to work together to try to survive, figuring out how to get food, water, and fight off hypothermia. Verstael eventually arrives, and takes both of them back to Niflehiem.
Unpopular opinion: Most handsome character in FFXV by a long shot. Heā€™s in space.
Favorite relationship: Apart from x Reader, Iā€™m boring for this one. Ardyn x Aera, theyā€™re so sweet and cute together. Forever bitter Ardyn didnā€™t get to reunite with her at the end. I know some people dig Ardyn x Gilgamesh, but meh, itā€™s just not for me. Hope yā€™all who do like it have fun with it though šŸ˜
Favorite head cannon: Absolute teddy bear with his SOs, fucking bastard troll man with everyone else. Dynamic is super fun and amusing to me, I love the thought of him being a bean one moment then turning around and roasting Ravus with political talk the next. Oh, I also love the thought that he has a massive sweet tooth. Since his hair didnā€™t grow at all during his time on Angelgard, I like to think his body is in some kind of stasis, that it canā€™t be changed, and Ardyn takes full advantage of that. Heā€™s got at least three different types of cake in his fridge, and several pints of ice cream in the freezer. He also keeps candy bars in his desk.
Thank you so much for this ask, it was a ton of fun to write! šŸ˜šŸ˜

I got my nipples pierced and I have some āœØthoughtsāœØ
Here's the list:
1. Of the 7 piercings I now have, they were the most painful. First half of the needle going through is fine, second half is a purple nurple from Tartarus.
2. They were immediately the most aesthetically pleasing piercings I've gotten. Like, my Medusa looked funky at first due to the extra-long starting bar, my nostril was super red, and my conch was actually pretty decent albeit small, but my nipples looked like a million dollars out the gate šŸ˜
3. They feel fine very quickly. It wasn't immediate for me like it is for some people, though; my nipples felt like they had been rubbed raw with sandpaper for about an hour or so but the pain subsided fairly quickly after that and I was able to sleep fine.
4. I'm already pretty sure I'm going to have more healing issues with my right piercing than my left. It has more blood around it and it also hurt more post-piercing.
5. I am now completely irresistible to my husband šŸ˜Ž
6. If I lose these piercings for some reason, I don't think I'll get them redone. I think the pain is worth it at least the one time, and maybe I'll feel different later on if something does happen. But for now it's definitely not something I need to experience ever again šŸ¤£
7. On the plus side, every other piercing I get will probably feel like a piece of cake. I'm only planning on other ear piercings now so if I get my industrial done that might compare pain wise, but everything else should be more like my nostril or my conch. A pinch and then it's done, with some soreness for a couple of days.
8. I am well-endowed, so I'm worried about embedment more than anything else. Just gonna have to keep an eye on it šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø
9. These were the piercings my ex-husband said would make him not want to touch me anymore. Now I'm entirely repulsive to him and I couldn't be happier. I've wanted these for almost a decade now, and I'm so glad I'm with a partner who not only encourages me to be myself, but genuinely enjoys and is only ever more attracted to me whenever I take steps towards being the person I want to be and present to the world. ā¤ļø I think these piercings were a major step in my healing process and will give me the confidence boost I've been needing
10. I feel like I have to have a 10 just to even things out. šŸ˜ My 10th and final thought is that a year is sooooooooooo long to wait to change out the jewelry šŸ˜­ but my 2025 will probably start out with new bling so that's something to look forward to!
If you're thinking about getting nipple piercings and you're reading this, it's really not as bad as you think it'll be. ā˜ŗļø It hurts, like all piercings do, but if you go to a reputable piercer it will only really hurt for a combined total of, like, 5 seconds. The soreness after sucks but you can take Tylenol or Aleve and put cold compresses on your piercings and it's no worse than a mild scrape or cut. I thought it was very much worth it, and I'm excited for how it heals over the year! Starting 2024 out bravely šŸ„°

business vampire?? demon gf?????? i simply must know more.
let's dooooo family and future!
Cas* I am SO sorry that it's taken me this long to answer from that prompt I reblogged uhhhhh a month (???) ago šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ I don't have a good excuse except that I'm bad at things, but I can't thank you enough for asking about my two beloved idiots, they're everything to me.....šŸ„²
Business Vampire, aka Max, aka Maximilian (yes it's his real name, no you can't call him that) is a recently-promoted Regional Manager of a temp agency that hires out vampire office clerks. They're diligent! They're effective! They'll work third shift! Hire a vampire today!! He's also...just kind of a bastard. Himbo-adjacent, but he's not always particularly nice, and not actually stupid--just willing to be ignorant about things that don't directly benefit him. He was way into his MBA program before he realized they weren't actually joking about the whole ~undead~ thing; and when he did, he figured he wasn't really doing anything with his immortal soul anyway šŸ¤·šŸ½ Might as well cash it in now, right? He's Bad Bi Rep(tm) and was a prolific serial dater when he was alive--not a cheater, just addicted to "the chase", always loved a tough sell. Now that he's got supernatural mind control powers though, convincing someone to give him a chance when they initially don't like him comes way too easily and it completely killed the vibe; he's not actually a piece of shit, he just dresses like one. If he ever went to therapy he'd actually have to think about why, exactly, it's so important to him to pursue the kinds of people who are immediately repulsed by the persona he embodies, in the hopes that they'll dig a little deeper and find something worthwhile in him instead. He absolutely does not go to therapy.
Juniper, for better or worse, is exactly the kind of person to find him repulsive, and she's immune to his magical vampire compulsion trick, too. To call her a demon or his girlfriend are both a little misleading--she's only part-infernal, on her father's side, and she doesn't even like Max. She...is sleeping with him, though. Occasionally. And then a bit more often than occasionally. And then...a bit more often than that. But nope, no way, definitely not into Max. He's arrogant, annoying, and...absurdly attractive šŸ˜” She's pathologically self-conscious about the whole infernal monster thing; she makes humans uneasy, in an instinctive, subconscious, fight-flight-or-freeze prey drive kind of a way, so she gears her whole life around keeping to herself and going unnoticed and trying her best to never make anyone afraid of her. But Max...isn't remotely afraid of her. And it's...nice, to finally have found someone who isn't. And he very much should be--the infernal magic in her blood is quite literally toxic to vampires, and drinking too much of it will quite literally kill him, this time for good. But...drinking just a little has a narcotic effect, and she's human enough that it satisfies his hunger for a while, and she agrees to fuck him, too? He's certain he's getting the better end of this deal, but he's sure not about to risk it by pointing that out.
ANYWAY, yeesh, that's way too much preamble before actually getting to your questions, sorry šŸ˜… I just really love these two. But yes, goodness, prompts!! Gonna stick these under a cut because clearly I'm incapable of keeping concise! But hopefully this has whet peoples' appetites and you all will wanna know more about my darling monsters šŸ„²šŸ„² Everyone feel free to keep sending me those prompts if you wanna know more about them or any of my other OCs šŸ„°šŸ„°šŸ„°
Family: Like I said, Juniper is infernal on her dad's side; he's never been around much, but he's very sweet with her when he is and she's really fond of him in return. His dad was a genuine infernal creature, chaos and corruption and decay made flesh, so he's even less human than June is, and as such simply doesn't have much understanding of the sorts of things that strain human relationships, like distance and time and lack of communication (which is why June's mom broke things off with him shortly after June's birth). June is his only child, and she's way more sympathetic towards him and his less-than-stellar parenting skills than anyone else in her family--her mom, stepdad, and two half-sisters all just try to pretend that he doesn't exist and even if he did exist then there totally definitely wasn't anything weird or unusual about him at all. June moved across the country as soon as she was old enough to get away, and she gets the sense they're all trying to pretend the same things about her, too. It hurts her feelings way more than she lets on, but helps solidify her decision to keep everyone ever at a distance (until Max comes barreling through all her carefully crafted defenses).
Max is somehow even less close with his family. He talks to his mom on the phone for birthdays and big holidays, but hasn't seen her or spoken to his father in years. Vampire powers or no, he'd probably kill the man on sight, given half the chance. His dad was an army engineer once upon a time, and then a traditional engineer when that was over, so there really was never much chance of any amount of emotional availability over there yet even so he was a real piece of work. Max was an only child, and his mom always tried to comfort him after his dad's verbal and emotional abuse but was never able or willing (he doesn't know which, and decided ages ago that he doesn't actually care) to prevent or intervene in the abuse when it happened. Again, a tiny amount of therapy might help him realize that his whole prideful, unserious, charming lothario persona was initially just a front he put on to piss off his shitty dad. But why would he do any self-reflection when he's got this hot, mean demon babe with her own luggage rack of family baggage to bang about it, instead?
Future: This is such a good prompt but unfortunately not one I can answer very thoroughly without spoiling my own (still very roughly drafted) plot. BUT I can say that there's a vampire named Leon that they're both interested in seeing, Max for the first time ever, June for the first time in several years. Leon's the leader of a very powerful vampire sect, and possibly the oldest living one in North America, and he's...sort of missing? Maybe? No one's seen him in a couple years now, though he's definitely not dead because the vampires he sired (and the ones they'd sired, and on down quite a few degrees of separation) would have felt a weakening of their own power if he'd died. And it isn't super unusual for him to just kind of wander off and disappear for a while; much like June's dad, he's so old that he doesn't have much sense of insignificant things like the passage of time. But it's odd for him to have been gone for this long without anyone having seen nor heard from him. June isn't terribly worried for him--he's a big vampire, he can take care of himself--but they're friends (insofar as either of them really have "friends"), and she'd like to know for certain that he's alright. Max, meanwhile, thinks it'd be good for business to get in with the "trads", and knowing and/or collaborating with a guy like Leon would definitely give him a leg up on his way to the c-suite. June figures that's as close to a genuine motivation as she'll see from her annoying vampire fuckboi, but, hey, fuck it, she'll take what she can get.

Nancy & Teddy Pt.4
Nancy: She shouldnā€™t be, why do you think she liked it so much
Teddy: I know why she liked it, what there is to like about you, more than she or anyone else ever will
Nancy: No one else knows how evil I really am, I hold back and Iā€™m sick of it
Teddy: No holds barred with me, baby
Nancy: I feel like Iā€™m rolling, Iā€™m too happy
Nancy: no one is safe from us, weā€™re going to elevate each other, go further
Teddy: You are, this is the best drug youā€™ll take
Nancy: Fuck me up
Teddy: You thought you craved me after today, but this is the real feeling you wonā€™t be able to stop chasing, the high I can give you with more than just my body
Nancy: Your mind is better
Nancy: and that isnā€™t to discredit just how good your body is
Teddy: Weā€™ll be legendary
Nancy: In our own right, fuck our families
Teddy: You have such a perfect mind
Nancy: The way you say perfect, I want to sear that into my brain
Teddy: If I could fuck your brain too, I would
Nancy: Try
Nancy: I believe in youĀ 
Teddy: I will, thatā€™s what this game with your cousin is
Nancy: I remember what you wanted
Teddy: Remember everything I want
Nancy: and give it to you, yeah?
Teddy: Weā€™ve come so fucking far in a day, Nance
Nancy: We have so many plans to put into action, itā€™s the best
Teddy: Now I feel like Iā€™m rolling
Nancy: We shouldnā€™t come down, ever
Teddy: Letā€™s not
Nancy: šŸ„°šŸ„°
Nancy: or ever sleep again
Teddy: Weā€™ll sleep when all our enemies are dead
Nancy: How have you not made a single misstep? Itā€™s impressive
Nancy: The amount of times Iā€™ve usually had the ick by now
Teddy: It could be my ? too
Nancy: I am feeling pretty smug with myself, this couldnā€™t have gone better
Teddy: Your face must be a picture, figuratively & I literally demand it is
Nancy: [send him a picture of your šŸ˜š face rn]
Teddy: I agree, this couldnā€™t have gone better
Nancy: I just realized
Nancy: youā€™ll have to come to all the family functions with her
Teddy: Oh, that hadnā€™t occurred to me yet either
Nancy: Youā€™re going to be fascinated again
Teddy: I wasnā€™t thinking any further ahead than your birthday
Nancy: What are you getting me?
Teddy: šŸ¤” Before, [something she would have liked but isnā€™t feelsy obvs], but it simply wonā€™t do now
Nancy: Maybe you could fuck me and not her, just for the night
Teddy: Top of the list, but not all Iā€™m going to give you
Nancy: OBVIOUSLY you have to get me real presents too, youā€™ve set a precedent
Teddy: & thereā€™s a precedent for being too out of it to fuck after any of your parties, she can be even if Iā€™m not
Nancy: Sheā€™s a lightweight, you wouldnā€™t even have to spike her for that to be achievedĀ 
Teddy: Her socials have highlighted that, yeah
Nancy: Last ones standing is a given
Teddy: It doesnā€™t really count as a deliberate gift, only another precedent which weā€™ve both set
Nancy: It only gets truer as you get older
Nancy: Practically none of the people I started out with are still partying at all
Teddy: My tedious siblings are yet more proof, Iā€™m already the last one standing
Nancy: Likewise
Teddy: Weā€™ll drink to it
Nancy: Their lack of stamina and imagination
Teddy: How different we are
Nancy: and that being a good thing
Teddy: A blessing undisguised & actually extremely blatant
Nancy: Being the favourite wouldnā€™t have got me anywhere, look at Ava
Teddy: You can be my favourite, thatā€™s what you really want
Nancy: Yeah, it is
Teddy: & I may let you be Rexā€™s, if youā€™re good
Nancy: youā€™re his too though, you heard him pining
Teddy: Is he asleep?
Nancy: he is now, I gave him his dinner a while agoĀ 
Nancy: [send snoozy dog content]
Teddy: I shouldā€™ve ordered you the baby monitor J had for his brats, you distracted me too much to consider it at the time
Nancy: I could watch you sleep like a super stalker
Teddy: Iā€™m going to have to cuddle with her, the least you can do is watch so we both suffer
Nancy: Oh no, I donā€™t want it, thanks šŸ¤¢
Teddy: I regret agreeing to your evil plan
Nancy: Itā€™s too late now
Teddy: šŸ„ŗšŸ’” but there are hundreds of repulsive aspects I havenā€™t thought about until now
Nancy: We can call it hasty but what else are we going to do?
Teddy: Iā€™m going to force you to endure it with me
Nancy: Alright, I will, promise
Nancy: itā€™ll hurt me more than you
Teddy: Youā€™re more sensitive than I am
Nancy: Iā€™m not
Nancy: but there are no perks for me, however small yours are
Teddy: Liar, Iā€™ll give you GIANT perks
Nancy: Okay, okay
Nancy: I still have to watch it and see everyone else think you two are a couple and be happy about it, itā€™s a much harder job
Teddy: You get to be passive, an observer, while Iā€™m actively pursuing her & keeping her interest at the expense of my own
Teddy: my job is way more challenging
Nancy: Hmm
Teddy: Iā€™m not going to get any enjoyment out of her, you know I wonā€™t
Nancy: Not none, same you could get from anyone
Teddy: None in the sense you mean
Nancy: Really? šŸ¤”
Teddy: Come on, she does absolutely nothing for me, to suggest otherwise is insulting šŸ¤¢
Nancy: Yeah but still, friction is friction
Teddy: Yeah & you could fuck your bedpost while Iā€™m out with her
Teddy: weā€™ll be satisfied by the identical perks weā€™ll both get out of this arrangement, you & I, donā€™t get it twisted
Nancy: Yeah, I suppose so
Teddy: I want you, Iā€™m doing it for you
Nancy: No, I know that
Nancy: It did seem easier, before
Teddy: Itā€™ll be worth it
Nancy: Very
Teddy: My loyalty lies with you, trust that, not what youā€™re going to see
Nancy: Youā€™re too nice, actually
Nancy: You only agreed in the first place to party with me, itā€™s never been about her, I know that
Teddy: Imagine you called up every single one of your exes, it would mean nothing because Iā€™m who you want, itā€™s the same principle
Teddy: no one is a threat to you
Nancy: If the third wheeling becomes too intolerable alone
Teddy: Ha ha, Iā€™m not actually signing off on a reunion tour for you to fuck all of your former boyfriends
Nancy: šŸ˜
Teddy: If they go near your new bed, if anyone does, itā€™s game over
Nancy: I was only ever suggesting they pay for my drinks and provide me with something to do whilst you suck face, donā€™t worry
Teddy: I pay for your drinks & youā€™ll have plenty of scheming to do
Nancy: Fine, if thatā€™s what you want
Teddy: It is
Nancy: Because youā€™re you
Teddy: Because you belong to me
Nancy: Iā€™m yours, in secret for now
Teddy: & when itā€™s public itā€™ll be SO fucking public
Nancy: now he wants matching collars
Teddy: Yeah
Nancy: He does look really handsome in his
Teddy: Weā€™ll try not to outshine him, but I have a feeling you will
Nancy: you
Nancy: I canā€™t think straight now
Teddy: You donā€™t have to think to shop
Nancy: Itā€™ll be too long ā€˜til you can wear it, Iā€™ll get you something you can until then
Teddy: We can still match
Nancy: You looked so good today
Teddy: I wanted to dress nice for you
Nancy: I appreciated it, more than I could let you know
Teddy: All of my friends wear the same things, like theyā€™ve joined [a posh cult lol]
Nancy: You stand out, in lots of ways
Nancy: Boys your age can really be like a hivemind with no personality
Teddy: It worked, you noticed šŸ¦š
Nancy: I noticed you ages ago
Teddy: When specifically?Ā 
Nancy: I think it was at [someone]ā€™s party when you [something he did that we found suitably outrageous and thus a vibe, probably ages ago so we didnā€™t pursue you because knew how itā€™d look and that our friends would be like no bitch]
Teddy: Iā€™m too turned on to hear that
Nancy: Itā€™s not my fault youā€™re so intriguing, is it
Teddy: Nor is it mine everyone else is boring
Nancy: I didnā€™t even realise who you were at first, you look nothing like your brother
Teddy: But then [his uncle who she said he looked like earlier] clicked?
Nancy: Something like that, yes šŸ¤­
Teddy: What happened between you two?
Nancy: Nothing too scandalousĀ 
Teddy: Spill, heā€™ll be at my family functions
Nancy: I donā€™t think youā€™ll want to hear it, no
Teddy: I do
Nancy: A few dates and a hookup, before he met his current partner, by the way, so he wonā€™t need to avoid me
Teddy: Thatā€™s it, you arenā€™t going to share any of the details?
Nancy: I was being considerateĀ 
Teddy: To who? Iā€™m asking & heā€™ll never know you told
Nancy: well, it wasnā€™t bad, at all
Nancy: but I had ulterior motives, you know how it is
Nancy: I wasnā€™t looking to be šŸ˜šŸ„°
Teddy: Was he devastated?
Nancy: I highly doubt it, he met [this partner] not long after
Nancy: Iā€™m not the one
Teddy: OR sheā€™s a rebound & youā€™ll rekindle things over [a family function heā€™s specifying but Iā€™m not]
Nancy: Not you working out my actual evil plan, so awkwardĀ 
Teddy: Itā€™s what I would do if Iā€™d fucked your uncle
Nancy: Youā€™d be making some very strange life choices if you had
Teddy: Perhaps, I have form for that
Nancy: Pinky promise I wonā€™t make comparisons when we finally fuck anyway
Teddy: I donā€™t care, Iā€™ll come off looking better in each of them if you do
Nancy: I already know it
Nancy: it was standard decent sex, rough but how everyone likes it, you know
Teddy: šŸ„± I know all too well
Teddy: [give her some more kiss and tells of yours that fit that vibe exactly, whether itā€™s with lads or girls or both]
Nancy: and I canā€™t even blame anyone, ā€˜cos they canā€™t give me what I want when I canā€™t ask for it
Nancy: tell me about the best youā€™ve ever had, please
Teddy: I canā€™t it hasnā€™t happened yet, when we finally fuck, Iā€™ll tell you
Nancy: Vivid detail
Teddy: Always, what do you take me for?
Nancy: Youā€™re an excellent storyteller
Nancy: I donā€™t think I sold your uncleā€™s dickdown very well
Teddy: Because it wasnā€™t very good
Teddy: Iā€™m ashamed of him, truly, what an embarrassment to the family name I should have, would if my mother dared to keep it
Nancy: Poor man, he will think Iā€™m weirdly obsessed with him if he thinks Iā€™m trash-talking him now
Nancy: not a +1 option to your wedding
Teddy: Who are you bringing?
Nancy: You shouldnā€™t actually marry her, thatā€™s too much of a mess for you, just let it all get planned and paid for
Teddy: Okay
Nancy: Donā€™t you think?
Teddy: Iā€™m thinking about her waiting there for me with everyone, how crushed sheā€™ll be when I donā€™t walk through those doors
Nancy: How long will she wait, hold out hopeā€¦
Teddy: Until the venueā€™s booked for the next happy couple & they have to kick her out
Nancy: Youā€™ll need a new phone, new number, the texts and calls will be insane
Teddy: But weā€™ll keep my old one, read the messages together
Nancy: Definitely
Nancy: because once she realizes, she wonā€™t ever talk to you again, or me, until she has to, so we have to savour it
Teddy: Itā€™ll be delicious while it lasts
Nancy: her trying to piece herself back together after weā€™ve decimated her will take yearsĀ 
Teddy: The amount of damage weā€™re going to cause, any meaningful recovery will be impossible for her
Nancy: Ruined for real, barely holding it together for the cameras and the family and friends
Teddy: Sheā€™ll have no trust in her remaining family or friends, itā€™ll be the first thing to go, & once it has, thereā€™s no reason to even attempt holding anything else together
Nancy: How could you trust anyone or anything again? Itā€™s not just this event, sheā€™ll question everything about our relationship and see it finally for what it is
Teddy: Sheā€™ll lose everything, her mind included
Nancy: As small of a loss as it is, comparatively, itā€™s all she has
Teddy: I promised you could have it all, no stone unturnedĀ 
Nancy: Youā€™re too much in the best way and I want it all
Teddy: Youā€™re my ideal amount
Nancy: Iā€™m too much too, youā€™ll see
Teddy: Youā€™re intending to make me eat my words, are you?
Nancy: Absolutely
Teddy: I look forward to seeing you try
Nancy: Said as if I havenā€™t impressed you all day, quite rude
Teddy: Iā€™d hate for you to get bored either having things come to you too easily
Nancy: Nothing else does, youā€™re quite alrightĀ 
Teddy: Darling, no, that will not do at all
Nancy: I know šŸ’”šŸ˜”
Teddy: Life is about to change
Nancy: Itā€™s already started, babe
Teddy: Yeah, it has
Teddy: & when she arrives it wonā€™t stop, youā€™ll forget youā€™ve ever been šŸ’”
Nancy: Youā€™re the distraction I need, this is what Iā€™m meant to be doing
Teddy: It is quite impressive seeing you this focused
Nancy: I know it seems like I have none, just because Iā€™m not like my parents or my brother
Nancy: My priorities are just different, you could be one of them
Teddy: Iā€™ve heard it all before myself
Teddy: our priorities match, thatā€™s why this is such an amazing plan
Nancy: All parents compare, I donā€™t know why they bother with the pretence that they donā€™t and would never, itā€™s so obvious
Teddy: Weā€™ll do it openly, like we did with Rexā€™s brothers & sisters before we picked him, line each of the accidental babies up
Nancy: šŸ˜ Thereā€™s going to be enough for a line, yeah?
Teddy: An annoyingly long line, Iā€™m sure
Nancy: Sorry Iā€™m not infertile, darling
Teddy: My parents need some grandchildren they can show off without it being through gritted teeth, youā€™re doing them a truly HUGE favour
Nancy: I just know they want you to pass on your cuteness
Teddy: & if they inherit yours it wonā€™t be the dire tragedy it is for Jā€™s youngest brat looking the spitting image of her mother
Nancy: Awkward, her face isnā€™t quite as chubby, itā€™ll have to be consolation for the poor thing
Teddy: I take consolation in my doting uncle duties being minimal as heā€™s managed to finally realise I am in fact not, however obsessed with those children he is
Nancy: Thankfully my terrible reputation precedes me there, no one wants me anywhere near their children
Teddy: If youā€™re ever forced, nothing will get you out of it, or his tedious company, quicker than calling her Tilly like Chlo used to do for the second she stayed on the scene, he HATES the reminder
Nancy: That is handy information to have šŸ˜
Teddy: Itā€™s Gā€™s trick actually, I just steal it whenever necessary
Nancy: And sheā€™s really gone ahead and done the same thing herself? People are so predictably boring
Teddy: The only consistent thing anyone can be relied on for is to be disappointing, weā€™re apparently out here as the sole exceptions, which is why we have to stick together
Nancy: Amen, the last ones standing
Teddy: šŸ„‚ first & foremost to how fertile you are, you wouldnā€™t enjoy yourself half as much otherwise, meaning neither could I
Nancy: It certainly is an exciting thing to think about here and now
Teddy: You know how excited I amĀ 
Nancy: Iā€™ve still got the pictures open
Teddy: [send her some new ones just to keep her updated lol]
Nancy: Please šŸ¤¤
Teddy: I canā€™t wait to find out how many times you can drop your pleases into conversation in front of your cousin
Nancy: Iā€™ll be on my best behaviour, obviously, manners cost nothing
Teddy: Your manners are going to cost me, I wonā€™t be able to resist buying you whatever you want
Nancy: I already have your card info, youā€™ll be spoiling me whenever she makes me too jealous
Teddy: Providing you take your jealousy out on me sometimes too
Nancy: Whenever I get the chance, naturally
Teddy: Iā€™ve no qualms about spiking her as well as J, thereā€™s all the more reason in her case
Nancy: I bet we can do it with her just asleep but
Nancy: It isnā€™t as if I care, if you want to, we should
Teddy: Sheā€™s bound to get tired more easily, with her body giving up on her the way it is
Nancy: šŸ‘©ā€šŸ¦³ hours
Nancy: Donā€™t you trust that I can sneak? Iā€™ll be so quiet, if sheā€™s sober, awake, in the room with us
Teddy: You could always prove it to me right now
Teddy: because no, I think the prospect has you very loud
Nancy: [a video thatā€™s purposefully just of your face but itā€™s obvious what youā€™re doing and how hard youā€™re focusing on being šŸ¤]
Teddy: If your parents could see you, theyā€™d be extremely proud of your focus & what youā€™re prioritising, just as I am
Nancy: Fuck
Nancy: I wish anyone could see me right now, Rex is the only one here
Teddy: Iā€™m all alone too
Nancy: Invite [whoever he was on the phone with] over
Nancy: I hate being alone
Teddy: I could invite lots of people over, no one would think twice about you being here for a party
Nancy: I canā€™t
Teddy: Why not?
Nancy: Because I promised I wouldnā€™t sleep with you before you got her to go out with you and I have to stick to it
Teddy: Because you donā€™t trust me to stick to it
Nancy: No, myself
Nancy: I know what would happen, Iā€™m not deluded
Teddy: Yeah & you think you know that without you as my incentive I wouldnā€™t go through with seducing Grace, but I will, Iā€™ve promised
Nancy: Itā€™s not just incentiveĀ 
Teddy: What are you afraid of?
Nancy: Nothing
Teddy: Itā€™s a promise you made before, it doesnā€™t need to stand now
Nancy: Why are you so impatient?
Teddy: You like telling me no, but you canā€™t deny youā€™ll love when you finally say yes
Nancy: Iā€™m not denying that just because itā€™s still a no
Nancy: The timing needs to be right or itā€™ll fuck everything up
Teddy: Youā€™re denying yourself so much by insisting the timing isnā€™t right
Nancy: What if I turned around and said I didnā€™t want to do it anymore, what then?
Teddy: Weā€™d come up with a new plan
Nancy: No because this plan is good and Iā€™m not going to let myself back out of it now
Nancy: if I slept with you, I might
Teddy: Okay, Nance
Nancy: Youā€™ll still want it or Iā€™ll make you again
Teddy: Do you seriously want me to invite [that person] over?
Nancy: I seriously donā€™t want you to be lonely
Teddy: Canā€™t you continue to keep me company from there?
Nancy: Of course I can, if you want me to
Teddy: How I feel has absolutely nothing to do with [that random person], you did this to me
Nancy: Tell me how I can make you feel good, from here
Teddy: Itā€™ll make me feel better to hear youā€™re pining for me how Rex is, despite your show of willpower
Nancy: [the MOST šŸ„ŗ selfie that is also more blatantly inappropriate with what youā€™re showing because how else are you getting across the desperation]
Teddy: [call her up so you can also blatantly hear her and let her hear you even if you then hang up to be a bit of a tease as sheā€™s still holding out and keeping this promise]
Nancy: I deserved that
Nancy: You sounded like youā€™d been working out for hours
Teddy: You do motivate me more than my personal trainer does
Nancy: Iā€™m too embarrassed by my total lack of coordination and skill to get one
Nancy: so work me out
Teddy: Iā€™ll only make you blush like I did in the car
Nancy: Youā€™re so nice to me
Teddy: It motivates you
Nancy: I only want to be nice to you from now on
Teddy: You want me to cum after all this edging & surfing weā€™ve been doing
Nancy: I need it, let me have it
Teddy: Iā€™d be able to totally cover your body if you were here
Nancy: Someone needs to šŸ‘… it all off of me
Teddy: When youā€™ve got your pet back, she can
Nancy: She will, her mother is constantly in some kind of throuple, she wouldnā€™t even blink
Teddy: Itā€™s a pity she doesnā€™t look more like her mother
Nancy: Weā€™ll find pretty girls, she wouldnā€™t be as devoted if she was
Teddy: Youā€™re my pretty girl, weā€™ve found each other already
Nancy: Stop it šŸ˜­
Teddy: After the last pic you sent you canā€™t call yourself anything but, look at it
Nancy: but, I can look at you instead
Teddy: I can feel you looking at me
Nancy: Youā€™re so gorgeous, it makes me wanna act so reckless
Teddy: Call me back & do it
Nancy: [do call him back on a facetime to do that]
Teddy: [live your best feral lives, nobody is around on either end so]
Nancy: šŸ„°šŸ„°šŸ„°
Nancy: I finally saw you cum
Teddy: & I did get to cum all over you, on a screen still counts
Nancy: it definitely counts, I felt it, feel everything you did
Teddy: You were incredible
Nancy: I do feel it now
Teddy: Youā€™ve outdone [just nonchalantly describing a VERY feral act youā€™ve recently done with someone else that until rn youā€™ve been classing as your fave thing]
Teddy: you should
Nancy: Be for real šŸ˜³
Teddy: I love your šŸ˜³
Nancy: MORE than you love [said feral act]? šŸ¤”
Teddy: Yes
Nancy: Iā€™m going to need you to marry me right now
Teddy: Where are you going to wear your šŸ’ to keep it a secret?
Nancy: Good questionā€¦
Nancy: Iā€™ll have to invest in really high necklines if I put it on a chain
Teddy: Which would be devastating, youā€™ll have to put it somewhere more intimate
Nancy: But I canā€™t lose it
Nancy: we might have to try out a couple places
Teddy: In order to find the perfect place, Iā€™m willing to try anything
Nancy: Iā€™ll do anything for you when itā€™s official
Teddy: Itā€™ll be too much fun testing you out
Nancy: Gotta try before you commit, even if you already have verbally
Teddy: Oh I see, youā€™re doing a nice thing making me wait
Nancy: I could be as bad as your first wife
Teddy: Your devotion hits different
Nancy: You want mine, itā€™s a nuisance otherwise, ask her
Teddy: Desperately
Nancy: You know itā€™s mutual, even if I struggle believing I could ever have yours
Teddy: Youā€™ll believe it soon, all the evidence will be laid out in front of you, her struggles, me
Nancy: I want to so I will
Teddy: [send her a pic of you literally lying there like hello, this is how it will be]
Nancy: you better enjoy the bed space whilst you still have it
Nancy: [send him a picture of this giant pup taking up a load of this bed rn]
Teddy: When we move in together he can have his own bed
Nancy: but you have to let me share your bed
Teddy: Every night, Iā€™ll never tell you no
Nancy: Even if youā€™re very cross at me, promise
Teddy: Especially, how else could you say youā€™re sorry?
Nancy: We think the same
Teddy: Sometimes I may let my favourite child in, to upset the others, but mostly itā€™ll exclusively be you & I
Nancy: Youā€™re going to turn me on, again?
Teddy: Constantly, I vow to as your husband
Nancy: What if we have different favourites?
Teddy: I hadnā€™t considered it, we do think the same
Nancy: This is true
Nancy: Competition to be the real favourite canā€™t hurt though
Teddy: & having one child would be an affront to how fertile you are
Nancy: and how often you have to cum in me
Nancy: just doesnā€™t work
Teddy: Theyā€™ll have to fight for our attention, thereā€™s no other way
Nancy: Never actually succeeding in getting it fully
Teddy: Weā€™ll have a separate wing of the house to leave them in whenever they arenā€™t away at school
Nancy: Between school and nannies, theyā€™ll have nothing to complain about, I didnā€™t have either
Teddy: My mother was raised like that & until she met my father she had no complaintsĀ 
Nancy: Itā€™s weird, when people are obsessed with their kids, like you said
Nancy: it doesnā€™t end well
Teddy: Jayā€™s a horrific mess of a brat, thereā€™s the proof if anyone requires it
Nancy: Neither of her actual parents truly wants her, thatā€™ll be fun for her to grapple with in therapy in a few year's time
Teddy: His overcompensation talks a good game, but youā€™re so right, he isnā€™t going to be good enough
Nancy: Being raised by her motherā€™s ex and her auntie, like, what the fuck are either of them thinking?
Nancy: But Iā€™M the mess
Teddy: An addict & his barely legal girlfriend, itā€™s a great look when your substitute mother is a few years older than you
Teddy: at least Gā€™s husband is ancient & those children of his are past the age of being impressionable
Nancy: Hmm, okay, donā€™t impregnate me for a while then
Teddy: I will when I want to, you canā€™t force me to wait for everything
Nancy: Okay, Mr barely legal šŸ™ƒ
Teddy: Iā€™m not in school like Ava was, fucking you in my uniform
Nancy: God šŸ™„ It is soā€¦ I donā€™t know how my parents still let her act so high and mighty like she didnā€™t do all that
Teddy: I donā€™t know how J can act it, he seriously thinks heā€™s superior to my entire family
Nancy: Tell that to the statutory you committed because you couldnā€™t resist the cliche
Nancy: I could almost be impressed if she just admitted it but she acts like itā€™s some love story for the ages and not what it actually is
Teddy: So does he, Iā€™m not pretending or actually trying to take the moral high ground at least
Nancy: So many people canā€™t cop to who they are, how can you respect that?
Teddy: Catch my father behind his family man facade while none of us can stand him & he fucks girls around the age of his daughter, J doesnā€™t just look like him, the appleā€™s that close to the tree it barely fell
Nancy: Rotten to the core sounds about right
Nancy: fuck them all
Teddy: Youā€™re my family now
Nancy: Youā€™re mine
Nancy: I have to get over them, get away from how they make me feel
Teddy: Weā€™ll start over once their lives are, do this much needed payback & focus purely on ourselves
Nancy: and everything we want
Teddy: Yeah, my priorities are & always have been unquestionably correct
Nancy: youā€™re smart as hell
Teddy: So are youĀ 
Teddy: completely šŸ˜ˆ
Nancy: we never have to stop, thereā€™s so many people in this city who deserve us fucking them upĀ 
Teddy: Iā€™m certainly not concerned weā€™ll run out of targets, there are people who deserve us in every city
Nancy: But not like that, not like we deserve each otherĀ 
Teddy: Youā€™ll never deserve me like that & they donā€™t vice versa, youā€™re special, no jokes
Nancy: Never?Ā 
Teddy: Iā€™ve got no interest in hurting you, I told you earlier
Nancy: Thatā€™s all youĀ 
Teddy: We deserve each other, itā€™s you & I
Nancy: I canā€™t be without you, I need you to fuck this feeling into my bones, donā€™t let it fade
Teddy: Itā€™ll last as long as us
Nancy: I donā€™t let go easyĀ 
Teddy: You can hurt me like that
Nancy: Nails and teeth if youā€™re seriousĀ 
Teddy: Iā€™m taking my šŸ‘°šŸ¤µšŸ¼ proposal seriously, you should too
Nancy: Iā€™m dead seriousĀ 
Nancy: do you believe Iā€™ll do it?
Teddy: I believe youā€™re capable of almost anything, given suitable provocationĀ 
Nancy: We could call it provocation, all the reasons youā€™re giving me to say yes to the dress and all of the rest
Teddy: We have to, youā€™re deliberately causing my sexual desire, thatā€™s the dictionary definition
Nancy: See, smart
Nancy: just not boring about it
Teddy: I donā€™t get turned on by old books like my brother would, but I canā€™t live life dimwitted like your cousin
Nancy: It isnā€™t as fun as some people burdened with their big brains suspect
Teddy: Youā€™re too intelligent to know that, wits as sharp as your nails
Nancy: Youā€™re too hot to be this niceĀ 
Teddy: Youā€™ve masterminded a fantastic, life ruining scheme today, thatā€™s a fact
Nancy: Itā€™s just instinct
Nancy: to be as cruel as I can be at any given moment, I donā€™t have to think about it anymoreĀ 
Teddy: But you arenā€™t cruel to me
Nancy: Not yet, I havenā€™t needed to be
Teddy: Youā€™re smart enough to know you donā€™t need to be
Nancy: It wouldnā€™t benefit me at all
Teddy: No & recognising that is why youā€™ll reap the rewards
Nancy: I find it easy, being kind to you
Nancy: maybe not without thinking but
Teddy: The truth is, Iā€™m not clever, Iā€™m a clever šŸ¦œ
Nancy: You know what people want, whether you deliver or otherwise
Teddy: As you said earlier, itā€™s predictable
Nancy: Predictable doesnā€™t always mean achievable though
Teddy: Well, I too can achieve almost anything given suitable provocationĀ 
Nancy: ā­ļøšŸ§‘šŸ¼
Teddy: Your schoolboy fantasy rears its head after all
Nancy: Predictable is right, baby šŸ˜
Teddy: I understand, uni is hardly a respectable fantasy setting unless we switched with our siblings šŸ¤“
Nancy: Yet they didnā€™t pick the same oneā€¦ like, do it properly if youā€™re going to
Teddy: Give it a term or two more before I will no longer be welcome at the same one as him, theyā€™re eventually going to realise our assignments are alike because theyā€™re copied, not because we share an identical passion for [whatever business course James did that Teddy is now being forced to do for the same reason he was] years apart
Nancy: Do you care?
Teddy: Iā€™d like to get as far as possible, to let my father believe I intend to stick it out to the finish, but beyond that, no
Nancy: just like the wedding, take it as far as you can
Teddy: Precisely
Nancy: and then we can leave, go wherever we want to first
Teddy: Iā€™d even go to [the honeymoon destination they mocked Grace for earlier] with you
Nancy: Weā€™ll go wherever she wanted to, thatā€™s an excellent idea
Teddy: Try & convince her to choose somewhere vaguely bearable though, please
Nancy: Duh
Nancy: and youā€™ll be paying for everything, so she isnā€™t going to have any control over her dream honeymoon going ahead without her
Teddy: Itā€™ll be so romantic
Nancy: Yeah
Nancy: but do we take ALL the photographs or do we keep it vague and let her use her imagination with the rest?
Teddy: Does she have any imagination? The girl is baby raised by TV & everything else online if I ever saw one
Nancy: Youā€™re right, Iā€™m giving way too much credit, weā€™ll have to plaster it all over the feed
Teddy: Youā€™ll have such an expensive manicure to use, all paid for from the wedding budgetĀ 
Nancy: Do you think sheā€™d tell if I sent her pictures of my nails and what theyā€™ve done to you?
Teddy: Tell who? Nobody cares about her
Nancy: šŸ˜ˆ
Teddy: Weā€™re untouchable thanks to the hard work youā€™ve done
Nancy: And sheā€™s going right back to untouched when you betray her
Teddy: & the backwards country you rescued her from
Nancy: How long do you think this will take us, all in, your first date to nearly the altar
Teddy: Imagining this was a speedrun & we werenā€™t savouring every moment, showboating aside, I sincerely believe I could get us there in 6 months max & a couple at a push
Teddy: what do you think?
Nancy: I think that if we got this done in 6 months, everyone would think she had lost her last brain cell, and precisely no one would feel bad for her when you were obviously not the guy she thought you were
Teddy: Iā€™ll take however long youā€™d like to me to
Nancy: We might want to linger, prolong the suffering, like you said
Nancy: but if youā€™re lovebombing her and she buys it, the effect is going to be the same
Teddy: Itā€™ll be immediate, hence the shorter timescale of 2 or 3 months also being possible without any of my ego involved, but that would mean itā€™s over far too quickly to enjoy it
Teddy: we could do it in 9, in honour of the baby she canā€™t conceive?Ā 
Nancy: Thatā€™s so unbelievably nasty
Nancy: I love it
Teddy: You love me
Nancy: Yes
Teddy: Then itā€™ll be the first deadline I donā€™t blatantly ignore
Nancy: I was going to have a drink but I donā€™t want anything to blame for this feeling but you
Teddy: Fuck, youā€™re staying sober for me
Teddy: you do love me
Nancy: I make no promises to even get through the night but I was halfway through making a [some drink, I donā€™t care, we have a stocked home bar is the point lol] and now I donā€™t even care about finishing it
Teddy: Nobody has ever admitted doing something like that because of me before, I usually have the opposite effect & theyā€™re reaching for the bottle
Nancy: I feel like Iā€™d die with how out of it you make me feel just by talking to me how you do
Nancy: I could OD on this
Teddy: I know the feeling, but I also know you canā€™t because I need you
Nancy: Iā€™ll keep you on the edge if you promise to do the same
Teddy: I promise šŸ¤
Nancy: Daddy šŸ’˜
Teddy: If I impregnated you in [whatever month it would be so she started to really show by the time they are wrapping up this evil plot, going on his limited knowledge of pregnancies via Chlo] sheā€™d see it in the honeymoon pics
Nancy: Will you think Iā€™m disgusting though?
Teddy: It would destroy her, think about it
Nancy: I know it would, itā€™s all she cares about because she canā€™t have itĀ 
Teddy: Even sheā€™d be able to do the maths & work out it happened while I was with her
Nancy: Iā€™m just unsure
Teddy: About your body? Youā€™ll get it back
Nancy: No, not that
Nancy: We could get a divorce, if I let a pregnancy go too far, I canā€™t just get rid of it
Teddy: But you can get rid of a baby, if I leave you, leave it on my doorstep, itā€™s what Iā€™ll deserve
Nancy: Yeah, right
Nancy: Youā€™re nothing like your brother, Iā€™ve heard
Teddy: Iā€™ll take care of it in the sense Iā€™ll pay someone to, the same as I will when weā€™re together
Nancy: Okay
Teddy: I told you, thereā€™s nothing I canā€™t protect you from
Nancy: Kids ruin everything, sometimes
Teddy: They can ruin my parents, we wonā€™t let them ruin us
Nancy: Iā€™m just saying, it would be very mean if you wouldnā€™t fuck me on her honeymoon
Teddy: Iā€™m nice, remember?
Nancy: For now
Teddy: I understand if you donā€™t want to, it was just an idea I thought youā€™d like
Nancy: Iā€™m scared, of this one thing
Teddy: What can I do so you arenā€™t scared of a single thing?
Nancy: Make me believe you want it, youā€™ve got ā€˜til [whatever the timeframe of it would be for the date he said]
Teddy: Okay, I will
Nancy: I could fake a pregnancy and destroy her with it
Nancy: If we donā€™t really want to, we wonā€™t
Teddy: True, but I donā€™t want her to think our relationship is being faked at the same time
Nancy: Iā€™ll bang on about my fake miscarriage all the time, [a girl yā€™all know who is obviously more Nancyā€™s age] never shuts up about hers
Teddy: Thankfully I can be strong & silent about it because Iā€™m not doing all that
Nancy: Youā€™re so lucky you get to be so manly šŸ˜
Nancy: I want to want it, you know?
Teddy: Itā€™s noted, but Iā€™ll have to leave you if you want the baby too much & it does become all you talk about
Nancy: Youā€™d be jealous, thatā€™s why
Teddy: Itā€™s less fun than I am, it doesnā€™t deserve more attention
Nancy: Youā€™re reminding me of when you put your head in my lap in the car
Teddy: Remember my šŸ„ŗ
Nancy: Oh, I am
Nancy: youā€™re far too cute to not give all my attention to
Teddy: Stay on the phone with me until I have no attention left to give you?
Nancy: Iā€™m not going anywhere, talking to anyone else, it would be wasted time
Teddy: [call her up and just be feral until yā€™all pass out and sleep because weā€™ll never get you to hush otherwise and this convo needs to end somewhere]
Nancy: [my boo says shut it please and sheā€™s right for that, because clearly youā€™ll be in constant communication until Grace is here so hush]
Teddy: [and lowkey always as much as you can while she is too because youā€™re both highkey]
Nancy: [Mhmm, tis very much the vibe but Iā€™ll post this part now, good job us]

Squishes Vs Crushes (Part 2)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Squishes Vs. Crushes, Part 2/4 - Where I finally explain the rest of my opinion on what a Crush Actually Is, and perhaps more Importanly, How To Identify One šŸ˜†šŸ’š There are a couple of things I should mention about this part - as you've probably noticed, I chose to draw two of my characters (who are gfs!!! šŸ„°) in some of the panels to help explain my points. I was originally going to draw myself for them (like the rest of these comics), but ... I'm too romance-repulsed when it comes to things I'm personally involved in, and I couldn't bring myself to do it šŸ˜­šŸ˜… (I have a feeling this is a part of being gray-aromantic for me). And speaking of being gray-aromantic, I want to emphasize that my perception of what defines a "crush" is still influenced by the fact that well, I am AROspec šŸ˜‚ As mentioned, the way that I experience romantic attraction is so brief (and also, it virtually NEVER happens) that it only lasts a few seconds now - it's a fleeting emotion, a glimpse into a life that isn't mine. It temporarily lets me understand the hype around romance for those few moments. Yet it goes away just as fast, and I'm left puzzled as to why I would ever feel that same emotion when I look at the person in question again! Because of this, I don't put a lot of stock into the feeling - but I'm almost certain allos feel differently about romantic attraction. To my undersanding, allos find this emotion to help them place importance on the person that they feel said attraction to, and it's a part of experiencing a crush. But I'm not 100% sure šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø - so any alloros (or demiros, if you feel this applies to you), can you please let us know if this is true? And overall, if you think I've missed anything important on identifying a crush, please let us know!!! It would be super helpful to this group of highly confused aros šŸ˜­
[Image Description:
Slide 1: Another sketch like, softly airbrushed style. ā€œI would say itā€™s very overwhelming, bubbly, but not with any real substance or depth of feelingā€
Now a stream of pink passes through Celia, with more butterflies and a little pink heart drawn on her chest. A small sound effect of ā€œaaaaaahā€ is drawn around her to indicate alarm.Ā 
Slide 2: ā€œYouā€™ll feel obsessed with the person though - ā€
Celia sits at her desk, thoughtfully looking up while she puts a pencil to the side of her mouth. A thought bubble with a blank person labelled with things like ā€œinsert object of affectionā€ and little doodled hearts appears.Ā 
ā€œ- Probably to the point where you canā€™t stop thinking about themā€
Slide 3: ā€œYouā€™ll also want to do traditionally ā€˜romanticā€™ things with themā€
A photo of two of Celiaā€™s characters out on their first date. They are two women, one of whom is tall curly haired brunette with tan skin and a purple blouse, the other of which is a shorter dark-haired girl with freckles and a pink dress. They are at a dinner on what appears to be a patio (string lights in the background), and are having cotton candy as a dessert. A little rose is placed on the side of the table.Ā 
The note scrawled to the side of the photo says ā€œtwo of my OCs out on their first date!ā€
Slide 4: ā€œ- and youā€™ll want them to be nice to you, maybe impressed by you.ā€
The two characters are now at a gallery show. The taller girl in the couple has taken a few photographs displayed at the show, and she asks nervously to her girlfriend if she likes it (and she does!).Ā 
Slide 5: Celia speaks to the viewer: ā€œAnd In my personal experience ā€¦ you do know, right away, what youā€™re feeling.ā€
Slide 6: ā€œThereā€™s an ā€œohā€ momentā€ Celia is drawn in the sketched, airbrushed style. This time she has an overlay of pink placed on her, with a concentration of the pink near her chest. A little spark of light with a heart passes through her, while little notes around her written express her surprise ā€œoh. Fuck -ā€
Slide 7: ā€œas a grayro, it goes away VERY fastā€ A continuation from the last panel, the pink overlay which covered her before seems to drip off of her. She seems confused, saying ā€œhuh? Why-ā€
Slide 8: ā€œAnd over the years when I do experience this (and itā€™s been a while) -ā€Ā 
A timeline drawn in the same sketch style, from when Celia was a young teen to today. The ages are labeled 13, 14, 16, and 19 plus, and they are filled to varying degrees with the pink overlay like before. The amount drops drastically from when she was thirteen (in which it filled about half the form) to when she is an adult, where the pink is barely visible. Underneath each figure it describes how long each ā€œcrushā€ is, which goes from her being unsure of the length, to about a month, to 1.5 hours, to barely a few seconds.Ā 
ā€œ- itā€™s gotten progressively weaker each time.ā€
Slide 9: Celia drawn in the usual style. She smiles and laughs, ā€œSo any alloromantics out there, if you want to add your experiences in the comments, please do!ā€]

Hi! I just read your demo and I am sooo hyped, I don't think I've ever been as excited for a baby demo as much as with yours (hope I worded that right).
I'm sorry if you have answered this before, but will the symbol of MC's house influence the story or MC's personality? Like how foxes are often seen as cunning, owls as wise, etc or nah?
And my second question is basically the same but with how the MC felt/feels about Odile, will it affect their relationship? Because I chose my MC to be prideful/slightly arrogant, so at first I felt like it made sense for them to feel repulsed by xem, but then I thought... "what if the author takes that as my MC being too bitchy and undeserving of Odile or something and I get locked out of xyr route?" šŸ˜…šŸ„ŗ
I'm probably overthinking, but I thought about it because I think feeling repulsed or scared by someone can be very different from just not trusting or being angry at them, though of course those can be pretty aversive emotions too.
Again, loved your demo, your writing is crazy good!
Hiiii wow thank you so much!!! It means a lot šŸ„°šŸ’–šŸ’• gonna answer under the cut because i feel like i'm gonna end up rambling lol
The House crest will not influence the mc's personality, no! I thought about making it influence the mc's skills a bit but I haven't decided yet (mostly because I still don't know if/how much skills will play a part in the game... i might remove them altogether so we'll see haha). likely the only thing the crest choice is going to affect is details about the aesthetic (like the MC's clothes in flashback scenes and so on), or flavour text! so you're free to pick the crest that you think best represents your character šŸ˜‰
RE: the Odile situation. ok so, in the current demo, the only choice that has a Big influence in how much Odile trusts the mc is the one that determines the scene path (conflicted/ antagonistic/ friendly) because that's the choice that sets the starting trust stat for xem; other 'secondary' choices might add/lose you a few points, but nothing major. choosing how your mc has felt about xem up until now, regardless of whether you pick repulsion or something else, doesn't influence the stat in the current demo but might in the future, especially if it persists... the same goes for that choice at the beginning of the Odile scene regarding xyr eyes/appearance: that sets a variable that says whether MC is scared of Odile's 'inhuman' traits, and if you choose to keep being afraid in the future it might end up hurting Odile's trust or xyr romance points (but it could also lead to interesting scenes). Basically there's a bunch of choices that only influence flavour text in the prelude but are sort of your starting point for your relationship with Odile, and it'll be up to you whether to have the mc have a change of heart or not.
Nothing you choose in the prelude locks you out of xyr route, though, so don't worry about that! I do plan to have a route lock-out at some point, but it won't be based on instinctive reactions like fear and the likes but rather on how the mc actively chooses to act towards the character.
