*whispers* next f1 kinktober fic this weekend
Tumblr media
you were probably unaware that sim racing was even a thing until you started dating max
like you’ve seen the funny little twitch clips of people playing driving simulators and being absolute menaces on the road, but you never knew actual virtual racing was a thing
anyways, whether or not you consider yourself a gamer in this scenario, you’ve always been pretty down to play videogames with max.
he absolutely annihilates you in FIFA, and no matter how much he tries to help you, you’re a lost cause
in return, you embarrass him in COD; he should’ve looked at your kd-ratio before he tried to play with you
but, sim racing 🧐
i mean, like, you never even fully considered that you could sim race at all, like not for leisure at least
max takes that shit seriously, he’s a part-time f1 driver full time simracing twitch streamer 😤
you are always around watching him practice on the sim, playing the f1 games, and even tuning in for his iracing competitions
at first, whenever max would stream you would probably be doing other things with your time
your hair, cleaning, self-care, cooking, etc.
eventually, you started migrating to sitting on the couch off-camera and watching him drive irl instead of having the stream on in the background
you were originally like, “oh it’s just because i wanna drool over his massive veiny hands” 🤤
but now it’s like “oh i wonder what each button he presses with his nicely proportioned fingers on the steering wheel does?”
and slowly it transforms from “wow my boyfriend is so cool” to “wait…this sim-racing thing is kinda cool”😵‍💫
now imagine you being like “lol wait a minute now” and being like i'm only interested in because my boyfriend loves it 🤥
in order to disprove this theory you start to ask max questions about virtual racing
not that you wouldn’t before, but they were fairly surface level; now you’re asking him about tactics, strategies, and track conditions etc.
and max is fucking thrilled 🫨🫨🫨 !!!
he eagerly answers all your questions (maxplaning 🥱), going way more into depth than you were expecting, but what did you think was going to happen
max is always happy to ramble about any small facet of virtual racing (doesn’t matter if it’s the sim, or iracing, or f1 2023) but
it makes him really pleased that you’re showing a genuine interest in it because most people don’t
you support him in anything he wants to do wholeheartedly, and listening and answering your well thought out questions has him falling head over heels for you again
so, he thinks nothing of it other than you being the best girlfriend he’s ever had and trying to learn more about what he loves
his previous girlfriends didn’t really care to understand how important vr racing was to him
they all just saw it as him playing a “game” and him wasting time when they could’ve been on dates or smth
anyways
everything is going fine and dandier, max continues to answer all of your vr racing questions, and you continue to watch him pilot the sim
until, he catches you watching a beginner’s guide on f1 2023 and get’s so jealous 😒
bro is all like “wtf, you’re watching some lame ass unranked gamer when i’m your professional driver boyfriend who does this for a living?? hell nah if you want to start playing i’ll teach you”
you’re just like, “nahhhh….i don’t want to waste your time trying to teach me, it’s not worth it. i’m not even a good driver irl, so—“
max shuts that down expeditiously
if his girlfriend wants to start vr racing, he only has one option
make you the best virtual racer there ever was (excluding him)
you’re wide-eyed like, “i just wanna go vroom vroom in circles for fun 😭”
max deathly serious, “that was never an option”
he enlists you in his virtual-racing training camp
if you are aware of the disney rapid training montage where the mc sings one song and suddenly they’re the best fighter ever, that’s how i imagined it
mulan, for example, i’ll make a man out of you
max reveals his inner george russell, he becomes a power point king
instead of date nights being cute pottery classes—they turn into him teaching you the parts of the car, the buttons on the wheel, f1 2023 settings breakdowns, reviewing iracing competitions etc.
eventually max finally allows you to play on the sim after he thinks you’ve got the theory down pretty good
you suck at first 🤗
but then you start clocking in some hours
after work, during your “lunch break”, using the sim while max is gone and playing during all the practice and media sessions
whenever max is gone, and you have any questions or ask for feedback on how to get better, you text him all about it, of course not expecting an immediate response back
max has told you before that he likes getting out of the car after a practice session and checking his phone to see all the missed messages from you with some wishing him luck and the others asking for his thoughts on your strategies
one day, he’s going for lunch with some of the other drivers and they start to make fun of him for how he’s stuck in his phone, heart-eyes and all as he rapidly texts you
they probably think that you’re sending him cute texts or photos like that one time they caught him looking at photos of you and learned he had a locked photo album of you on his phone ☠️
max remains unbothered under their teasing thinking, “they don’t know my gf can out pace them by .200 in f1 2023”
max even personally bothers christian into getting him another sim for you
christian is so tired of you two, max won’t leave him ALONE
i think max would text his team principal screenshots of your lap times and make jokes about it
“if checo keeps dnf-ing, my gf can fill in”
christian gets you the goddamn sim 😒
y’all procrastinate on building and calibrating it, max more so because it means his chair would stop smelling like you 🥺
you get it set up, but you still play on his sim every once in a while after he told you that because you’re a simp
he goes to stream one day, planning on practicing with the redline team for an upcoming iracing event
and the man almost BREAKS HIS LEGS trying to sit down because you forgot to move the chair back after you were done using it 😭😭
in between his groan of pain he let’s it slip “ow fuck, my girlfriend forgot to move the seat back after she was done”
chat goes ducking crazy
yooo, what? ur gf sim races???
is she good???
max is like “hell fucking yeah my girlfriend is great sim racer, she could replace one of the boys at redline if she wanted too!”
(team redline sweats anxiously, mics now suspiciously silent)
max continues, “well she is not as great as me, but she’s good i guess”
stream chat “they are going to have babies that completely dominate f1” “if their babies are born in the netherlands we will be stuck in purgatory cursed with hearing the dutch anthem forever”
max continues with his practice but everyone is begging to see you play, even some of the redline guys are asking questions
they wanna know if they’re really at risk of you stealing their seat
max gives up and turns to you on the couch with a smile and says, “i will beg, schatje. do not put it past me, we all want to see you drive. some people are saying i’m lying so you have to prove them wrong🙇🏼”
you’re like “what 😅 no 😧i suck 🤭 at this 🤗” but you’re already getting up and walking over to boot up your sim
the urge to flex on people and embarrass them is something both you and max share
max opens f1 2023 and starts a party for just you two, and you both decide to do quali laps at zandovoort
you do your hot lap first, and max goes after you
max y’ know, probably thinks that he can take it relatively easier on you, there’s no reason to put 100% effort into something for fun, so he puts in 95% 😀 (competitive boy)
and you know that one nepenthez meme
that’s how this goes
max is like, already rambling to the stream “yeah that’s a comfortable p1, she still has a lot to learn before she can beat a world champ—P2??!!!! 😧😳”
you’re just in the background in your sim chair, turned facing the camera with an innocent little smirk smile on your face ☺️
you got pole by .050, and chat starts bullying max, the redline boys laughing hysterically in his headphones
max requests a rematch and promptly annihilates you :)
i like to imagine that eventually you start joining max’s stream and the two of yous start having little racing tournaments whenever you guys have the time
omg could you imagine the little championship ceremony where you put party hats on jimmy and sassy and have fake little tiny gold trophies for whoever wins 🥹
imagine one day ‼️ you actually start doing iracing events, and just working your way up to being one of the best 😌
ANYWAYS to wrap it up, best teacher max ever
virtual racing 🤝 strong relationships

the good guy | mick schumacher
pairing: mick schumacher x leclerc!reader part 3 (and final part) to disapproval read part 1 here and part 2 here
after getting an earful from you (and a certain british driver) it finally sinks in for charles how much he's been neglecting your happiness and he starts to see how much mick truly means to you
word count: 2.8k warnings: none except lil bit of asshole charles still
Tumblr media
When Charles met up with Lando and Carlos for a late lunch, there was no way he could ignore their looks of disapproval. Lando even had sunglasses on and Charles could see the judgement through the dark lenses before he could sit down.
Charles could see the shift in dynamic as well. Lando and Carlos were friends, but they way they both sat on the same side of the table, leaving the other side empty for himself made this whole meal feel like an intervention. Maybe that was their plan, they wanted to talk some sense into the Ferrari driver. 
“Do not say anything,” Charles groaned, slumping in the chair. Not like they would listen to his request anyway. He glanced over the menu but nothing seemed the least bit appetising. Last night's drinks were still sitting in his system and he was worried one bite from a fruit platter would cause everything to come up. 
But the alcohol wasn’t the only reason why he felt sick. 
Just seeing his sister’s face when the elevator doors opened told Charles that he royally fucked up. 
“Was the Instagram story apology your idea or the PR teams?” Lando asked, reaching for his water. Carlos scoffed, but Lando continued on calling their friend out on his mistakes. “You realise that’s probably the worst way to apologise, right? You’re a laughing stock all over social media right now.”
“I didn’t know what else to do,” Charles admitted, waving his hand at the server when he came by to take his order. He couldn’t eat anything.
Carlos leaned forward. With the most serious, dead panned look on his face, he looked directly into the eye of his teammate, “Has it ever crossed your mind to give Mick a chance?”
Charles glared at the Spaniard, “Mick isn’t the problem. She shouldn’t be dating any driver, period.”
“What about me?” Lando teased, only to be met with a similar death glare that had Lando sinking back into his seat. Charles could be intimidating when he wanted to.
“Mate, Mick is a good guy,” Carlos defended the German driver as he had done so many times before. “Your problem with him comes from your own insecurities.”
Charles grimaced, “My insecurities? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Camille?” Carlos brought up his last girlfriend, but didn’t stop there. “Colette? Who am I missing?” He looked at Lando.
“Mélanie,” Lando added, another ex. “You’ve got a bit of a track record, Charles. It was your own mistakes that ended those relationships and now you think every driver on the grid is as bad as you are.”
Was he really being scolded by a 23-year old gamer who’s most meaningful relationship was the one he had with his golf clubs? 
“Most of them are,” Charles retorted. He knew first hand what majority of the drivers got up to after a race weekend. Infidelity, the partying and the lies that followed. Some of the guys were in serious relationships, more serious than his ever were, but that still didn’t stop them from making bad decisions. 
“Mick’s not one of them,” Lando told him and Carlos nodded in agreement. “He’s not going to hurt your sister and if he does then he has 20 of us to answer to.”
Charles laughed at the idea of Lando trying to be threatening. That man couldn’t hurt a fly. 
When Carlos excused himself to answer a phone call, Charles was really hoping that they could drop the conversation. He aimlessly picked up the menu again, not like he was going to order anything, but he only managed to scan about half of it before Lando threw a crumpled up napkin at him. 
“What?” Charles spoke through clenched teeth. “I fucked up, I know.”
Lando took his sunglasses off, resting them on the surface of the table. There were no dark bags under his eyes, he probably had a great sleep last night. Lando was one of the few that didn’t wake up in the mornings wondering what sort of damage control he’d have to do to make up for the night before. 
“Y/N has been nothing but supportive of you and your career,” Lando told him, as if Charles wasn’t already of that. “She’s a damn good sister to you and you can’t be arsed to show her and Mick half the respect that they give you. She’s family, Charles, but try hard enough and you will push her away. Put your own stubbornness aside for once and see how much Mick means to her, how happy he makes her. You're one of my best mates, so I say this with kindness, but you're honestly acting like a dickhead. You're not a child. She's not a child. She's in a relationship with someone who clearly loves her. Don't get in the way of that and for Christ's sakes, give Mick a break already. He's a good guy, you're not."
This was not the first time Charles had any heard this, but this was the first time he had all of it all at once from one of his closest friends. And after the events of this morning, it was sinking in deeper than it ever had before. 
Charles opened his mouth, to argue of course, he didn’t like to be put in his place or told when he was wrong, but maybe it was for the best when his phone started to ring. He held his finger up to Lando and leaned back in his chair, answering immediately when he saw your name on the screen.
He barely got a word out when you started swearing at him, both in French and English. Charles couldn’t keep up with how fast you were talking but he got the main idea. That Instagram story apology did shit all to help make anything better.
Charles hated being yelled at though, so the more you raised your voice at him and told him how much of an ass he was, the more defensive he got, even when he knew he was the one in the wrong. 
“A fucking Instagram story apology?” Your voice was so loud that even Lando could pick up on your words. 
“What else do you want me to do?” Charles yelled back and across the table, Lando laughed. 
“Be a better brother,” Lando suggested and Charles just flipped him off.
You scoffed into the receiver, “I want you to not lie on social media and put a fucking effort into getting along with Mick! Give me one good reason why you don’t approve of me dating him,”
Carlos had come back at that exact second and raised his eyebrows towards Lando who simply mouthed your name. Carlos hummed and sat down, watching the rest of this disaster of a show play out in front of him like it was a blockbuster film. 
Charles had about ten reasons in the forefront of his mind as to why you shouldn’t be dating Mick, but for the life of him, he couldn’t get them out. 
 “You can’t,” you pointed out.
Charles rolled his eyes, not like you could see it, “He’s older than you.” Both Lando and Carlos groaned at that piss poor excuse.
“By two years.”
“He doesn’t have a career.”
“Harsh, mate,” Lando blurted out. Charles gave him a look, telling him to stop putting his two cents into his conversation.
“Maybe he’s not currently driving but that doesn't mean he’s done for good.”
“He can’t support you,” Charles said.
“I can support myself.”
Eventually, Charles just came out with it, “You shouldn’t be dating a driver, Y/N, okay?”
And it was really his own fault for using that excuse. The second those words left his mouth, you hit him right where you knew it would hurt. 
“Just because you were a shitty boyfriend to your ex-girlfriends doesn’t mean Mick is going to treat me poorly too.” 
Charles had never told you what happened in his last relationships, but it didn’t take a genius to figure it out. People gossiped. Rumours spread around the paddock and Charles knew damn well that a handful of drivers weren’t good at keeping their mouths shut.
“What is she saying?” Lando asked, more invested in this conversation than he had a right to be. Charles leaned away from the two of them, but it didn’t give him any more privacy.
“Charles, I don’t know what happened in your relationships,” he could hear the hesitancy in your tone, “but whatever fear you have, whatever you did…Mick isn’t the same guy. He’s not you, he’s-”
“Better,” Charles finished your sentence. Mick was better than he was. Mick was a good guy. He would give you the world world if you asked for it.
You laughed into the phone, agreeing that Mick in fact was a better person than Charles would ever be. “I mean, yeah. And I get it, you want to protect me but this isn’t how you go about it. You’ve just been cruel and closed off and you haven’t even tried to see Mick for the guy he is. Do you even know how happy he makes me?”
And what could Charles say to that? 
He wasn’t blind, he saw how much of an impact Mick made on your life. For whatever reason that he still couldn’t wrap his head around, Mick meant the world to you. Charles told himself that it wouldn’t last and that you would eventually move on, but that still had yet to happen. Maybe it never would.
“I love him,” you said quietly, voice broken like it was your final attempt at getting through to Charles. 
And again, what could Charles say to that? 
This wasn’t a conversation he could have on the phone. 
He abruptly hung up and slid his phone into his pocket, ignoring the confused stares from the other two drivers. Charles pushed the chair away from the table and stood up, not bothering with an explanation as he hurried to rush back to the hotel. 
Charles packed up what he could in a frenzy, texting his assistant and asking them to grab anything he might have missed. His priority wasn’t making sure he had everything with him, it was getting to Monaco where he knew you were. Where else would you have gone? With that race coming up, it only made sense that you would go home early.
So a few coffees and five hours later, Charles found himself outside of your apartment building. He typed your code into the keypad to gain access and then next thing he knew, he was in front of your door. 
It took nearly a minute for him to actually knock. He had no idea if you would listen to him, or even let him in. He thought about turning around and just heading back to his own place. Sending a text to meet up later might have been smarter, he’d have more time to think about what the hell he was going to say.
But no, he was already there. He had to talk to you. He needed to make things right.
When you opened the door and saw Charles, you had no idea what to think. It didn’t help that he still didn’t say anything. He drove this whole way and yet he couldn’t form a single coherent sentence. You were still waiting for a sincere apology. 
“Y/N did you want Mozza or did you want to try that new sushi place?” Mick walked out of your office, focused on his phone that he didn’t even see Charles until he looked up to find out why you weren’t answering. 
Charles cleared his throat, “Hi.”
Mick nodded firmly, glancing your way to get your read on the situation. He could tell right away that you didn’t invite him over. He could also tell that you didn’t know what to do and Mick being Mick needed to steer this in the right direction.
“Well don’t just stand there, come in,” Mick offered, putting his hand on your back to usher you to the side so you weren’t blocking the doorway. His touch sort of snapped you out of your own thoughts and you nodded in agreement, watching as your brother entered your flat. 
This was awkward for everyone. This strange tension lingered in the air. You were mad at Charles. Charles wasn’t a fan of Mick. Mick was stuck in the middle because he loved you but he didn’t want to overstep and do anything that would really set Charles off. 
“I thought you weren’t coming back until tomorrow,” you said, crossing your arms over your chest. You leaned against the edge of your kitchen table and watched as Charles shifted uncomfortably until choosing to lean against the wall behind him. He was out of his element here, especially with Mick at your side.
“Change of plans,” he said, his eyes landing on the way Mick still hadn’t removed his hand from your back. The way you leaned into his side didn’t go unnoticed. 
“I find it hard to believe you drove home early just to stop by and say hi,” the bitterness in your tone caused Charles to tense up. You didn’t want to fight, truly, but you were still annoyed with his actions. 
Mick’s fingers brushed against the material of your top and you inhaled a deep breath.
“Charles, you’re family and I love you, but-”
“I’m sorry,” he blurted out, interrupting you halfway through your sentence. Your eyes widened, not out of shock but because you were waiting to see if more followed. “Really, I am. I’m sorry for how I’ve treated Mick since the two of you have started seeing each other.”
This apology wasn’t for you. You just shrugged your shoulders and nodded your head towards your boyfriend, “Don’t tell me that. Tell him.”
Mick straightened up and you could see it in Charles’ face that he really didn’t want to have to repeat himself. 
“Mick I’m-” Charles paused, glancing at you but you were staying out of this. He needed to apologise to Mick first and then the two of you could work out your issues. Charles sighed, “Mick I’m sorry, mate. I know you’re a good guy and I know you’ll treat Y/N right. I just can’t help but have my guards up for her. I know what some of the guys on the grid have done and I’ve seen-” he hesitated when you raised an accusatory eyebrow. “It’s not easy for drivers to be in relationships and I just don’t want to see Y/N getting hurt.”
“I would never hurt her,” Mick assured him, sliding his hand further around your waist. His fingers rested on your side as he pulled you against him and gave you a gentle squeeze. "Charles, I love your sister. She's my entire world, she means everything to me."
“I know that now,” Charles said, but you were still having trouble believing his words.
“Do you?”  You asked, quite bluntly “Because I’ve been saying this for months and suddenly, out of the blue, you’ve come to your senses? That doesn’t make any sense.”
“Honestly you can thank Lando,” he admitted. “He reminded me how supportive you’ve been of me my entire life. You’ve stuck by my side through everything. Every win, every loss- both off and on the track and I haven’t done the same.”
“Nope,” you agreed. “You haven’t.”
“I’m sorry,” Charles finally directed the apology to you. His green eyes were filled with sorrow and guilt and for the first time there seemed to be actual strength and meaning behind those two words. “I’m so sorry, Y/N. I haven’t been a good brother.”
“You’ve been the worst.”
“I know.”
“You never even tried to get to know Mick off the track.”
“I know.”
“You’re always so caught up in your own world.”
“I know.”
“You don’t even-”
“Y/N,” it was Mick’s turn to cut you off. He looked between you and Charles. Whatever you were going to say, Charles would just keep agreeing. This could go on for hours if you all let it, but Mick stepped in. “I think we should just all agree to move past this.”
You nodded, but when you looked at your brother, you were still hesitant. How did you know he wasn’t just saying what you wanted to hear?
“I need to see more of an effort from you,” you declared. “I’m not saying you two have to be the best of friends but for the love of God, Charles, don’t be an ass anymore.”
“That sounds fair,” Charles said as Mick dipped his head and chuckled.
You expected Mick to be the one to extend the first olive branch, but it was Charles who stepped forward and held out his hand. Mick, who had been waiting for this since you started dating, happily stepped away from you to shake your brother's hand, only to pull him into that sort-of half embrace that men were notorious for. 
“I know it doesn’t need to be said- or maybe I should have said it a long time ago," Charles started off as they pulled away, keeping one hand on his arm, “But welcome to the family, Mick."
Things weren't perfect after that, not at first at least. It took a bit of time, but eventually, Charles truly did see Mick as part of the family.

Tumblr media
Cock, Cum, Balls ˋn Toys
⇢ warnings: 18+, minors DNI, heandcanons about Dabi's and Shigaraki's loads of cum, thick balls, girthy cocks – just pure thirsty headcanons. Half the credit goes to @/crumbly-scrombly for writing this with me 💙
(Header by me - it's milk of course...)
Tumblr media
His cock
At least 8 inches
Even when it's flaccid its huge (he can do the dick propellor)
The girth is just insane - like the pressure on your pelvis enough to make you cum on the spot once he's fully inserted
You'll definitely have a belly bulge
Slightly curvy, so it's tip grazes the g-spot perfectly
A thick swollen spongy glans
No real thick veins - but the mushroomy tip makes up for that
Pierced of course - a Jacob's Ladder and Prince Albert piercing
You don't need lube with him, he's just naturally dripping with pre
He's trimmed but not shaved (shaving is for pussies)
Perfect happy trail leading up to his thick cock
Cut. And pretty. Has stamina on end.
A really hard throbber
When he cums, he twitches so hard that you just cum again from that alone
Tumblr media
His cum
He's the one with the heaviest loads
He fucking floods your wombs with his cum, ain't no way your not gonna get knocked up, this man's a breeding machine
God help you if he takes zinc pills because that'll easily double his cumload
Creamy and thick and it won't easily come out of your cunt after he filled you up good
You're literally gonna still drip hours after being fucked by him
Can cum twice in a row
Has a very intense scent, but still pleasant
It's delicious though – sweet and salty
A bit on the bitter side because of the cigarettes and alcohol
Tumblr media
His balls
Not very sensitive
If you gently suck or massage them though he will reward you with even more pre
Really fat because filled to the brim with cum
Nice and heavy, always hang down a bit
Slap against your face when you deepthroat him laying on your back
So huge you won't be able to take both balls into your mouth
Can just suck on one at a time
When he cums they bounce up and twitch with each spurt of cum being released
Tumblr media
Toys
Dabi doesn't need any toys. He's all you need to cum. And oh boy is he right
No toy compares to him, his piercings. The way he drags them just right along your sensitive spot
Dabi's got plenty of irl experience, doesn't need porn or toys to show him how things work
But if you ask nicely, he will use them on you
Only to destroy you utterly, leaving you overstimulated and with multiple orgasms having wrecked your body
Tumblr media
His cock
Rocks at least 7 inches but GIRTHY AS HELL, regularly needs lube to impale you on it (finds the face you make while he slowly inserts himself hot as hell)
All natural baby – no shaving, no cut, no piercings, just raw cock
He's a grower not a shower
When hard, he curves upward, and when he throbs, his dick looks like it nods
Also has a thick vein on the top
His head is a pretty pink flush against his pale shaft
Tumblr media
His cum
It's juicy and watery and he cums loads of it
Feels like he pissed inside you after he came - sheets wet, you're wet, dripping all the way down to the bathroom
Poor man probably needs man pads because he's oozing all the time
His cum doesnt have a strong taste
But his gamer diet makes it really sweet
It's scent isn't very strong either
Tumblr media
His balls
They aren't huge, but nice and jiggly
Can take both balls in your mouth
Also, not shaven, so you got something nice n fluffy hanging there
He's very sensitive and will whine when you just gently massage them
Also has a very noticeable happy trail but that's beside the point
Tumblr media
Toys
He's the one with the most toys out of everyone you've ever known
Because he had all the time to order them, try them out, watch enough porn movies about them and knows how they all work
Wacking off all the time - at least six times a day
Curiosity always has the better of him, so he continues to order toys, even more so when he has someone else to try them with
He's experimental and when he makes you cum with them, overstimulating you, he feels like the king he is

Hot Stuff
Imagine
Nico Hischier x Latina!Reader
Synop: y/n and friends go out to a 80s theme night club because why not.
cw: drinking
a/n: this is very “cheesy”, very movie magic, does not happen in real life
+++
You were dressed in boot cut jeans with black booties and a satin button up blouse, with the top buttons unbuttoned.
“Do I or do I not look hot?” Your friend walks into your room posing in her 80s themed skimpy outfit.
“You look hot.” You say with lack of emotion as you zipped up your boots.
“Wow thanks I really believed you there.” She nudges your shoulder and looks at both of your reflections in the mirror.
“I look hot. You look hot. So cheer up and let’s go to the kitchen, everyone is taking pre gamers!” She hugs your shoulders tightly before joining the rest outside.
“I’m not drinking tonight!” she was long gone to hear. You weren’t much the drinker, other nights you would participate but tonight seemed better sober.
You walk out to the kitchen to see everyone in their get up and truth be told everyone did look hot.
“Cmon y/n/n! Take at least one shot!”
“Yeah how do you expect to dance tonight without being intoxicated?”
One of your friends was right, to dance to 80s jams without any alcohol in your system seemed futile.
“Alright,” You swished the drink down and the Uber was ready to pick you guys up.
+++
To your surprise the club had a lot more people than first to be expected. There were many madona blondes and Michael Jackson thrillers. It was the month of October, so in a way tonight was kind of a Halloween celebration.
As soon as you and your friends walked in, one dragged all of you to the bar, swiftly ordering tonight’s meal.
So much for not drinking, because before you knew it you’re three beers in, starting to feel inebriated, dancing your heart out with friends to Hot Stuff by Donna Summers.
“I need some hot stuff baby tonight!” Your friend screams.
“I need some hot stuff baby this evening!” You scream.
Screaming horribly pitched singing and dancing but having the time of your life in this moment. You and your friend laugh at your guy’s antics.
“I’m gonna get a beer! You want something?” You yell
“I’m good!”
As much fun and liberating dancing is, it’s a goddam workout. Surely alcohol will keep you hydrated.
+++
“I’ve never seen Top Gun.” Nico stares at Jack whose holding a green aviator jumpsuit for him. An exact replica of what’s he’s wearing with a white t-shirt under and sunglasses propped on his head.
“I know but we will look cool together, like maverick and goose.”
“What the hell is a maverick?”
“Just put the suit on.” Jack throws the suit towards Nico and pushes him to change.
Nico walks out twining like his teammate, with his sunglasses on.
“Hell yeah, I’m maverick and your goose.” Jack says all excited.
“Okay.” Nico states blandly.
“We’ll watch the movie after tonight so you can understand. Now let’s go and boogie.”
“Should’ve watched it before tonight” Nico murmured.
+++
Nico wasn’t one to go out and dance, especially not a decades theme dance. But here he is standing in the corner of the club because his friend dragged him to dress up as pilots. When he first walked in he admired everyone’s costumes and understood most 80s references, the music on the other hand was interesting to say the least
It’s 80s music, it’s hard to not stomp to the beat. Jack was somewhere else, probably talking to one of the madonas in the building, and Nico just people watching while sipping his drink.
Then the beat of the music started to kick up and his eyes caught on two girls dancing and singing the lyrics of the song. He couldn’t help but laugh at the site, not in a bad way but in awe as he saw people having fun. Maybe he should have fun tonight too.
+++
As the bartender brings you another beer, Donna’s melody comes to an end and the classic slow song of the 80s begins.
“…my foolish lover's game,” you mouth to sing along right before you take a swig.
You turn to see couple gathered at the floor swaying to the music and you couldn’t help to sway as well, it really is something about 80s music!
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say
You decide to people watch as you cater your glass bottle and your eyes land a pair of brown eyes across the room as the chorus lands.
Take my breath away
You and this annoyingly handsome man who is ironically dressed in an aviator outfit, hold eye contact as the chorus ends.
You being the first to break eye contact, turn to the bar and talk to yourself, “what the hell was that.”
+++
That was weird, Nico thinks to himself. He didn’t notice as he was people watching, his eyes followed on one of the girls that were dancing to the bar.
They held eye contact what seemed like forever with the slow song blasting through the room. Nico hiccups his beverage and looks to find Jack.
+++
One of your friends finds you at the bar,
“All these couples make me gross and sad for being single.” She leans her head on your shoulder.
“I think I fell in love with an aviator.” You yell calmly.
“Huh?” You’re drunken friend asks
“Like from Top Gun, I don’t know if he was maverick or goose but what just happened was too real to ignore.” You say looking forward replaying the moment back and forth in your head.
“We’ll where is he!?”
You quickly turn around to see if he’s still there but he’s gone now. You scan the dark room for his green jumpsuit but to no avail.
“He’s gone now.” You thought to yourself maybe you imagined things.
“Wait I see him!” Your petite friend points out an aviator but it’s not him.
“That’s not him, he was taller.” You sulk
Then the other half pops into view, the maverick you held eyes with taps on goose’s shoulder to talk with and again makes eye contact with you and they both look in your direction.
“They’re looking at you.” You’re friend whispers as if they could heard across the loud room.
“I know.” You grit and make a gesture to the boys to follow you off side the dance floor.
“Follow me,” you demand as you drag your short friend to meet the men.
+++
“Hi ladies” the shorter aviator says as he styles his sunglasses on top his hair.
You and your maverick still continue this unofficial game of holding eye contact and observing one another’s style and presence.
“Yours guy’s costumes are so cute.” You drunken-tired friend says, making you lose this round of the game.
“Yeah let me guess, are you goose and he’s maverick?” You ask the dark blonde
He’s taken back as he stutters to correct you, “actually I’m mav and he’s goose, it’s not oficial or anything.” He mutters the last part.
Your mouth makes an O shape to understand but kept to yourself that the man directly in front of you looked more like a maverick than a goose.
“Y/n Im gonna find the girls, I think the night is coming to an end, at least for me.” She covers up her yawn
“Okay I’ll be there in a bit.” She leaves you with the duo
“I’m y/n by the way” you extend your hand to your maverick, curious of his name.
“I’m Nico” he shook your hand softly but noticed your strong grip.
Both of you stand in awe in one another, rethinking of the eye contact and the tension across the busy room.
A forced cough could be heard, “yeah I’m Jack.” A quick second passed before you turned to acknowledge the blonde, “hi” you swiftly say before locking eyes again with Nico.
Jack stands beside you two with googling eyes, “Okay then, I’m gonna go back to the dance floor.”
No one heard Jack’s dismissal.
“That song, the song we made eye contact with, a bit ironic isn’t it?” You ask looking up at the gorgeous man.
“Why is it ironic?”
You started to slightly panic, “because you’re dressed as a pilot from Top Gun, are you not?”
“Oh yeah I guess I am. Is the song in the movie?” Nico tilted his head in curiosity
“The song is the movie. You never seen Top Gun?” You ask in bewilderment
“No, jack made me dress like this to match him. I still don’t know what a maverick is.” He laughs nervously
“Maverick is the nickname for the main character, essentially. You should watch the movie, it’s good.”
“Maybe we could watch it together” Nico shyly but boldly says as he scratches the back of his neck
You were stunned at his boldness but didn’t let it show. A smile crept up on your face and you nod your head, “I would love to see it with you.”
a/n: lazy ending but I tried.

As for Marcy's name translating to god of war, for some reason my brain always sorta associated it hinting how war started in amphibia, one that did (unintentionally) forge through Marcy's hands via Andrias
Ok, rant time since it's like my first ask which isn't about reblog games or some support scam:
All Calamity Girls represent each race they were sent to in their entirety. All the wars, invasions, and conflicts started with newts. Down from Valeriana and her order creating the Calamity Box that would be later used to conquer the other worlds which would be directly under the command of the Newt dynasty Andrias belonged to (all 3 races contributed though, much like all 3 girls came together to waste their lives together, and sure Sasha was the ultimate control freak, but it was Marcy who "always had a plan" according to Sash and both Sasha and Marcy bonded over pragmatic understanding that Anne is too "nice" (granted it's usually Sasha perceived as mean, Marcy as nice and Anne as in-between, it's more so about Anne being moral to Sasha's immoral and Marcy's amoral), and how she should go along with their schemes like them throwing dance parties + Marcy also always inviting Sash and Anne to do stuff with her even if they weren't interested). And of course the aftermath of Leif's betrayal in which Andrias started Amphibia's racism and used newts specifically to uphold such a system by making them in charge and most privileged, and then leading another invasion on Earth which was basically a war to end all wars.
Because as I said, Marcy represents the newts, she also kickstarts all the conflicts in the show. She got all 3 of them stuck in Amphibia, which finally made Anne confront Sasha, all of their misadventures, and finally enabled Andrias to lead the invasion to Earth by supporting him. And we shall also not forget about Darcy, who while not the same person as Marcy, is still part of her character. Darcy's color scheme also matches the planet Mars which is where the part of "God of War" in Marcy's name comes from, whereas Marcy's normal color scheme represents the Planet Earth, ironic considering she was the least eager to come back to Earth. Darcy of course was the ultimate Mastermind behind the invasion and the tradition of starting wars. Darcy was one of the final bosses of Amphibia to defeat, the one representing the ultimate consequences of how far the toxicity of all 3 girls could've gone.
So yeah, personality-wise Marcy may not seem like she would suit her name, heck people probably would think she should be more like Athena. However without doubt the name of Marcy Regina Wu fits her actual role in the story, even if it wasn't exactly her willing choice. Though it's not like she doesn't have it in her, I mean she is a gamer who always slays-
Tumblr media
Just in case you haven't noticed I just love how the entire trio was crafted, they're such perfect characters ong-

I've put this off for too long but here are my thoughts on the how the MW!Junker characters ended up in Junkertown;
Winston - The Tinker
Winston's probably the easiest, he just crashed in Australia after escaping the Lunar colony. Though I do think that though he considers Junkertown his home, he does travel a lot more and did actually reach out to Hammond when he saw Wrecking Ball on the news. I like to think that they are still close friends in Mirrorwatch, just living different lives. I also think Winston would still be very similar to canon, or at least he's like that with the other Junkers. With everyone else he's a bit bitter and short with.
D.VA - The Champion
D.Va is also pretty easy for me, as Junker D.Va already has voice lines with that skin and Hana in general is just an easy character to reverse. My HC is that Hana ended up in Australia after a really bad fight with the Gwishi. Unlike in canon where hiring the best gamers for the MEKA piolets, despite their age, worked immediately. It didn't in the Mirrorwatch timeline. Hana loosing D.Mon and Dae-hyun is a particularly brutal fight against the Gwishi. After that fight she ran and ended up in Junkertown. Which was good for her as Junkertown was probably the most off the grid place you can be. Most of the public think that Hana died in the same fight that took her friends. After that Hana became the champion of Junkertown. Personality wise, there is already hints in the Junker skin voicelines that this Hana focuses a lot more on mechanics. There is also hints that she's a more Han Solo like character. I also like to think that she holds bitterness towards both MEKA and her old fans, seeing them see all the heart ache and trauma she went through and choosing to capitalize off it, not only making her a soldier but also using her as a way to make money.
Genji - The Junker Ninja
Now I'm not sure if this Genji skin has voice lines with it but I'm going to go off of what information we do get, and by that I mean I'm going to look way to much into the Name Card Genji gets. So I've already talked about how I think Genji was initially a part of Talon but escaped thanks to the help of MW!Cassidy. Basically with Vengeance she went to saving Genji expecting to get a living weapon out of the situation. After Genji escapes he basically has to go completely off the grid or Talon will find him a recapture him. So he eventually ends up in Junkertown. He then meets Symmetra who replaces his prosthetics both to make Genji feel more comfortable and to make sure Talon can't track him. With the Name Card, to me he looks like he takes the role of Junker towns protector, keeping what little peace and order there is. Basically he's a Batman like character in Mirrorwatch. He would also be a lot more chaotic, basically imagine Blackwatch Genji but a little less angry and mixed with what Genji most likely was like pre-cybernetics.
Symmetra - The Innovator
Now Sym was one I was excited to get to because I genuinely think she would be a mix of Lifeweaver and Lucio, her having been taken in by Vishkar but leaving as soon as she realized that Vishkar only wanted control. Rebelling in anyway she could. There is also the fact that with the voicelines Junker Sym gets it implies that she has been in Australia for awhile, meaning she likely left as soon as she was able to. I also think that Symmetra is the leader of Junkertown in this universe, specifically with how hard light technology would innovate the technology in Junkertown. For what this means for Junkertown itself, I still think it's incredibly chaotic, but I also think that it would be healthier, more plant life being around the area, maybe even some animals too. Again the politics and general vibe would be the same. There's just more of an effort to resort the environment within Junkertown. The only thing society wise that I think would change is the view on Omnics, them being welcomed in when Sym took power.

hey im interested in getting into ygo do u have any recs or recommended orders of reading/watching theres a lot from the looks of it on anilist so i was wondering about your preferences o:
ANON I ABSOLUTELY DOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I'm only about halfway through the sequels (i just started arc-v) so I'm not like the most knowledgable person in the world but I can give you my personal recs. COME CLOSER!!!!!
First of all, every yugioh series is totally independent from each other (sort of - gx is set directly after dm and leans on its worldbuilding quite a bit, and 5ds takes place in the same universe as well though a bit further in the future, but you can watch them on their own with no problem) so if there's one in particular that grabs you there's nothing stopping you from jumping straight to it - that being said I've been watching all of the anime in release order (ygo dm -> gx -> 5ds -> zexal -> arc-v (i am here) -> vrains -> sevens -> go rush) and I've been enjoying it a lot. I also wouldn't recommend watching arc-v in particular without having watched the ones before it as it probably won't really have any impact for you. Now for specific recommendations (in order) !!!! SORRY THIS GOT REALLY LONG.
yugioh manga - START HERE !!!!! the original story by kazuki takahashi. high school boy inherits an ancient magical artifact containing a spirit that's really, really good at playing games (and inflicting psychological torment on bullies). I have to give it a warning for some shonen-typical creepiness towards female characters in the early chapters, but it's REALLY worth reading and it's a story that's so near and dear to my heart. this is the fastest and easiest way to start loving yugioh. Its worth noting that the original ygo manga is the ONLY manga (afaik) that tells the same story as its anime + i haven't read any of the others aside from a little bit of the gx manga, so the rest of my recs are anime-only
(optional) yugioh season 0 / 1998 / toei - a one-season anime based on the early manga chapters. if you like the horror vibes of the manga you'll enjoy this a lot. really fun 90s animation with a killer soundtrack, but generally not considered """canon"""
yugioh duel monsters - this is the one most people watched as a kid. it's an adaptation of the manga, but with most of the early chapters cut out so as to get straight to the card games + some extra arcs added in. this is most people's favorites and the most popular! you can also watch this in lieu of the manga, but you will be missing a LOT of the early story or experiencing it in condensed form (and the plot of ygo dm is already patchy At Best).
yugioh gx - direct anime sequel to ygo dm. boy goes to gamer school to become the next king of games + high school shenanigans ensue. gx is a really charming, goofy romp with a super lighthearted s1, an interesting s2 and a shockingly engrossing s3. s4 (the last 25 episodes or so) never got dubbed in english so if you're a dub enjoyer like me you'll have to switch to subs to get the full story
yugioh 5ds - direct sequel to gx, though further in the future than gx was to dm. card games on motorcycles are real and so is class warfare and the surveillance state. iirc this is the only yugioh anime that was rated 4+ - it has a slightly more mature tone but there's still plenty of lighthearted fun to be had. Really strong s1 with a second season that falls off a little bit, at least to me, but is still absolutely worth watching. s2 is missing a number of episodes in the english dub, so again if you're a dub enjoyer you will find yourself quite confused by the end. its probably worth watching s2 entirely sub-only (something i still need to do)
yugioh zexal - the first of the sequels that is possibly set in a different universe entirely (or just the really distant future). middle school boy gets a magic necklace from his dad that has an alien inside. zexal is a lot of peoples favorites and now that I've watched it I GET IT. Really strong story + pacing from beginning to end and a really endearing cast of characters. It's silly and goofy and fun but DAMN DOES IT COHERE.
yugioh arc-v - the first of the sequels that is DEFINITELY set in a different universe entirely. this is the one I'm watching currently so i don't have much to say about it yet GET BACK TO ME ON THIS ONE. this one boy's dream is to become the greatest clown who ever lived (tragic) (inspiring)
INHALES LOUDLY. that was probably more info than you wanted BUT I HOPE THAT HELPED AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT? again I recommend reading the original ygo manga first and i think that will give you a good idea of whether you are down with the yugioh silliness or not. It's important to remember that this is a very silly anime series about card games but like. As long as you can buy into the worldbuilding and accept that this is just How Things Are in the world of ygo, it's suuuuuuuch a fun world to sink your teeth into.

10 characters, 10 fandoms
thanks for the tag @greypetrel this is going to be SO HARD because i love so many characters so many special little guys…
tagging… @kleiner-ghost @samseabxrn @smoreofbabylon @chronurgy @fly-amanitaa and anyone else who would like to play!
hiding this under a read more because i feel like ranting about the Characters as usual.. also by doing this i’ve uncovered a theme and it’s law enforcement or law enforcement adjacent characters… this brings me great shame as a so called progressive so i’m just throwing out the suitcase instead of unpacking any of this
in no particular order…
1. kaidan —mass effect
Tumblr media
my love for kaidan specifically but mass effect in general broke me out of a 6 year writing break lol something about him!!!! since my first fic after the break, i’ve written over 100k words, THATS the power of love baby!! also he has the best eyebrows in fiction period
2. cullen —dragon age
Tumblr media
my most written character SO FAR, my wife, his awkwardness and clumsy flirting bewitched me body and soul… funny story i was on tumblr when this game originally came out like 10 years ago and i was seeing all the gifsets of cullen and loved him as a blorbo-in-law and then i finally played the game and remembered him so yall could call this a slow burn lmao (i need to be put down asap)
3. kotallo —horizon forbidden west
Tumblr media
he is also my wife, i love hero worship so as soon as he decided to GIVE HIS LIFE to follow aloy i was hooked, one of my favorite fics that i’ve written is a hero worship study of his relationship with aloy, the drama potential is so good here
4. charlie montague —deathloop
Tumblr media
literally the definition of pathetic wet cat man, gamer to boot, he is irresistable but i want him to be beaten savagely, i wrote a fic about him and had my fantasies of clowning on him realized through fia… again the POWER of fiction lol
5. harry dubois —disco elysium
Tumblr media
my brainrot for disco goes so hard, it’s the only video game tattoo i have out of many tattoos, of harry in the karaoke scene, which had SUCH an impact on me my god…. he’s the og wet cat pathetic loser and the love of my life..
6. johnny silverhand —cyberpunk 2077
Tumblr media
the hold he has on me, my first time through cyberpunk i didn’t romance anyone because i loved johnny too much, which is UNLIKE ME because i love romance in games…
7. zuko —avatar the last airbender
Tumblr media
babygirl… one of my first blorbos, i’ve never written him before but i did spend most of my formative years reading zuko fic
8. gale —bg3
Tumblr media

diff people of the cast raging at video games 🫶
Munakata does not rage at video games, he crafts impeccably worded missives to the game companies letting them know about the deficiencies in their products. Munakata generally doesn’t strike me as someone who would rage at video games anyway, he’s actually having fun if he’s losing because then it gives him a chance to craft various strategies in order to win. On the other hand though if there’s like a glitch causing his loss I could see him being displeased and writing angry letters like an old man responding to the newspaper editorial section. Also I feel like he might at least find himself annoyed at online multiplayer games, like he expects everyone to act in the way he’s planned and when some edgy teenager says screw off old man and Leeroy Jenkins their way through a raid Munakata starts huffing irritably and pushing up his glasses.
Yata and Fushimi I think would be opposites in this, Fushimi just quietly stews in his spite while Yata is absolutely yelling at the screen and has probably destroyed more than a few controllers by throwing them into the wall. Like imagine the two of them on multiplayer and getting defeated, Yata’s all red in the face and leaning real close to the TV all you fuckers I’m gonna kick your ass. Someone trash talks him and he’s shouting back and berating teenagers, and if he loses a boss fight because he got caught unaware he almost punches a hole in the wall. Meanwhile Fushimi is just sitting there quietly, muttering under his breath. Yata gives him a look like you okay Saruhiko and then Fushimi gives the most twisted smile as he’s like I’m fine, preparing to utterly destroy anyone who stands in his way because he’s not getting defeated by a video game.
The Homra guys probably occasionally have raging at games moments, I bet Bandou brags about how he’s a professional gamer so he never loses his temper. Akagi’s like oh hey I just beat your score and Bandou’s immediately like the hell you did what the fuck. Imagine one day Totsuka asks to play and it’s some difficult PvP multiplayer online game, the Homra guys are like sure you can try it but just be warned these guys are brutal. The Homra alphabet all go through various stages of yelling and trash talk as they try to survive but Totsuka is just smiling and smiling. In the end it’s just Totsuka and Bandou left and Bandou’s talking about how he’ll take it easy on Totsuka and while he’s talking Totsuka’s player character just casually stabs Bandou’s in the back. Bandou is immediately crushed and Totsuka’s all sparkles and happiness as he’s like this was a fun game, you guys were right.

Weekly Update - 05/18/2023
Hey all! I think I'm going to start doing weekly updates since I have a lot going on and a lot of fics in the works! I want you to know what I'm currently working on (WIPs) and I'll also toss some life updates in here as well. I'm also going to mention requests I have in the pipeline and when I'm expecting to complete them. Maybe your request is in there! (It probably is)
Going forward the updates will be on Sunday, I'm just doing this now because I have ADHD and it's on my mind today lol.
Since I've been really following the winds of inspiration lately, I want to keep doing that so I'm just putting this here so you know where the winds are blowing lmao.
I'll also mention if I think my current longfic is going to be delayed or anything here as well.
Gonna cut it up into sections to keep it consistent and easy:
Long/Chaptered Fic Updates
Currently I'm working on A Bit Dodgy, as many of you know. There will NOT be an update this Monday (05/22/2023). Though I will be working on it this week for @welcometostayingawake to edit and I'll have it to post by 05/29/2023 (that's the goal). If it's going to be pushed back again, I'll let you all know the Sunday before (05/28/2023).
Mini-series Update
Worth the Risk Part 3 should be out this week. That's the goal anyway. I have a good chunk of it done but there's still a lot to do. <- Still hoping to have this out this week but we will see (05/22/2023)
Uploading The Fractured Moon Part 2 (either tonight or tomorrow yay) Continuing to chip away at The Fractured Moon Part 3
There's a top secret fic series coming out HOPEFULLY this weekend, but it may be next weekend instead depending on how quickly I can get it finished. I'm losing my mind over it. (It's a 3 parter and all 3 parts are coming out at the same time teehee) <- Editing that today 05/22/2023. Hope to be done with it by tonight!
In June there's a writing challenge for Pride that @flightlessangelwings is putting on and I'm working on my fic for that so I'll be announcing more for that fic once I have the details better outlined!
Fool Me Twice should be getting a part 2 soon. I'm hoping I'll feel inspired to at least start it this week but maybe not. <- Taking this off the list for this week. Focusing on ABD and requests (05/22/2023).
Still considering doing 2 other parts for The OJ Problem but honestly, it's not that exciting to me rn. Since it's more of a Valentine's Day fic I might consider just doing those next year. <- Taking this off the list for this week. Focusing on ABD and requests (05/22/2023) will probably just put this on for next year for valentine's day.
Requests
I still have a sizeable amount of requests. REQUESTS ARE STILL CLOSED CURRENTLY. If your request is in blue, that means I'm going to try to work on it this week (05/21-05/27). If it's in pink, I'm going to try to work on it a different week. It's taking me a while to get into the headspace for some of them so thank you for your patience. Green means it's done I'm just working on editing now. They are posted in no real order, just working on them as I feel inspired to.
Blue Jones X f!Reader requested by @saraicus
There are 2 prompts in particular that I liked from the list you sent so I'll be doing them. - His eyeliner running down as he’s banging you against his desk - You’re a new patient and he just grows overprotective towards you. Doesn’t want you to meet other men and keeps you in solitary confinement for his jealousy sake.
Moon Boys X f!Reader by @ravenz-hope
Gamer reader and the boys getting angsty over her being too obsessed with the game (most relatable thing ever) <- Haven't had the time to set up the post but this will be coming out very soon. Need to finish editing as well (05/22/2023)
Moon Boys X f!Reader by @simpforbritgents
Asking for something like Feeling Flustered where the moon boys are doing guided phone sex.
Moon Boys X f!Reader by @mercuryrosesixx
Moon Boys w/ a f!Reader w/ nipple piercings. <- Started working on headcanons (05/22/2023).
Marc Spector X f!Reader by @blueflowerhat
Marc shower sex based on AI prompt.
Steven Grant X f!Reader by Anon -
Steven and Reader are both virgins. Marc is guiding/coaching Steven.
Doctor Marc Spector X Patient Reader by @burnincrown
Role Reversal (sort of) of Not a Doctor - Marc is the doc, reader is the patient and he takes advantage - Dark Fic
Nathan Bateman X f!Reader by @campingwiththecharmings
This is the prompt that hit me like a Nathan-shaped mac truck! -> “if you don’t like my teasing why are you moaning”
Nathan Bateman X f!Reader by Anon
Cam girl reader x Nathan - Nathan turns to a cam girl, he's been kinda stalking her. (Excited hehe)
That's it for right now. I'm a busy lady as usual but I like having a few different projects going at once! More coming soon! Thanks for always being so awesome and supportive. Love you all!

Castlevania II Simon's Quest Part 2: Crouching Belmont Hidden Pathway
Beating Castlevania II without a guide on hand is borderline impossible.
I know this has been said plenty of times in the past but this really needs to be pointed out just in case someone thinks it’s an exaggeration
You see it’s not simply the fact that, as was the case with many open ended adventure games back then, this game features no map, in fact I’d say that Castlevania II is way better than Metroid 1 in this regard because it does a much better job at making most areas feel distinct so that it’s indeed possible to navigate this game without a map
It’s about just how downright cryptic getting to your next objective often is
It’s not just about finding the next mansion it’s about figuring out how to get there and this often requires you to get specific items, go to specific locations and perform specific actions in order to trigger specific events
The game does an absolutely miserable job at communicating stuff to you and while many will be quick to point out that it’s all the fault of the shitty english translation that’s only half true: while some clues are indeed more useful in the original japanese text, others are still incredibly vague, not to mention that many of these clues, useful or not, are often found within breakable walls that have no visible markers that may clue you in to the fact that they’re breakable, essentially the same issue as Metroid 1 where you’d have to bomb (or in this case throw Holy Water at) everything just in case there’s a hidden passage. In fact I’d say it’s worse here because, at least in my opinion, in Metroid 1 it’s purely about finding the path to proceed and the world in general is more interconnected, here if you miss a clue you probably won’t be thinking about going back to one of the mansions to throw Holy Water at the walls just on the off chance that you might find something because, as it turns out, plenty of clues (though not all) are found within the Mansions, and even those that are not can still be every bit as cryptically hidden as everything else here
Call me cynical but I think that this was all pretty intentional. And before anyone says “Yeah but I was able to complete this game all by myself in the 80s and we didn’t have Internet like you kids have nowadays!” No but you DID have gaming magazines and Nintendo Power, which Konami absolutely knew because Castlevania II was essentially the star of its very second volume which featured an extensive guide of the game’s first half.
This is an aspect of retro game design, specifically old adventure games, that has always pissed me off and I’m surprised no one ever mentions this because this stuff is almost on the same level as microtransactions or forced DLC: purposefully making the game almost impossible to complete without a guide so as to push the little kiddies to shell out for the next edition of a game magazine. I guarantee that if companies pulled this shit nowadays you’d get a legion of angry youtubers bitching about this nonstop but because this was a thing back when most gamers were still kids nobody thinks about this and some even have fond memories of looking up game guides and such. It’s one thing to make a game hard like the original CV but that can still be beaten with hardwork, it’s another to make another that can only be beaten by painstakingly combing every pixel in the game until you find what you’re looking for while companies flash a bright and tantalizing game guide in your face
And Castlevania II unfortunately is the poster boy for this kind of mentality

Thank you, @cinnamontails-ff, for tagging me - I really enjoy filling out these things 🙈
How many works do you have on AO3? 25.
What's your total AO3 word count? 50,253
What fandoms do you write for? I am currently writing for Baldur's Gate, and I'm thinking of dipping my toes into Spy x Family, but according to AO3 I have written for: Baldur's Gate, Layton Brothers: Mystery Room (the iOS spin-off), Professor Layton, Persona 4, Pokemon, Welcome to Night Vale, Fire Emblem: Awakening, League of Legends, Frozen, Resident Evil (Village, to be specific), Lovely Complex, and Mystic Messenger. Additionally, from Fanfiction.net, I have written for Twilight, Legend of Zelda, Doctor Who as well.
What are your top 5 fics by kudos? 1. Pecking Order - Fire Emblem Awakening (305 kudos) 2. Backseat Gamer - Lovely Complex (237 kudos - smaller fandoms are sleepers, I swear) 3. The Rules Don't Apply - Layton Brothers: Mystery Room (218 kudos) 4. Happy Birthdays - Layton Brothers: Mystery Room (163 kudos) 5. Trapped in the Courtroom - Layton Brothers: Mystery Room (146 kudos)
Do you respond to comments? I used to not - mainly because I forgot my AO3 details and I never checked it! I don't actually get emails from AO3 to let me know I've gotten comments, so by the time I'd noticed it would be months ago that someone had left it. But I'm more on top of it now, and I try to reply to everyone who comments to thank them for their time at least.
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Got me out here checking my fics and trying to remember what's what - I think I tend to avoid angst because I have to fight myself on the daily to get out of that mindset, and mentally I'm not quite separated enough from it to be able to look at it objectively without it absolutely ruining my mood. Apparently my angstiest fic in AO3 in general is Accepting Defeat, and on the grand scheme of things it's actually quite mild, so there you go. There's probably some borderline depressing things on my Fanfiction.net account, given I was a teenager with no emotional regulation back then, but I ain't digging for that.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I love 'love'. I love hope. I love happy endings. Soooo this question is actually terribly difficult for me. Hang on, let me have a look at the old catalogue and see. I'll give you the gremlin is encumbered again, only because that made me laugh the most and I really liked exploring that minor camp dynamic in BG3 for the ending.
Do you get hate on fics? Thankfully, no - I usually write for smaller fandoms so normally people are just stoked to see content.
Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I've only recently started, so I'm still working on it. I have a few on the pipeline but my first one is my currently only contribution to the Resident Evil: Village fandom, and it's for the Heisenhoes. I like to provide.
Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? I don't have any crossovers published anywhere but I'm sure I've written them when I was younger, in some notebook somewhere, but nothing comes to mind. It was definitely, most likely, an anime x anime crossover.
Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I am aware of.
Have you ever had a fic translated? Again, not that I am aware of!
Have you ever co-written a fic before? No - I have commitment issues and writing comes and goes for me as a hobby.
What's your all-time favourite ship? Oh god, this is hard. I don't know!
What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I don't write multi-chapter things because I am useless, but I did have this Egoshipping fanfic I wrote that I have published in Fanfiction.net (I really ought to move it to AO3 - maybe I'll rewrite it). It's called Being Second (warning, that's a fanfiction.net link), and it was pretty angsty but the last update for it was nearly 10 years ago now.
What are your writing strengths? I'd like to think I do humour pretty well.
What are your writing weaknesses? Oh, boy, where do we start? I can't finish anything multi-chapter for the life of me because I lose interest so quick, and the weight of expectation gets to me. I can't be consistent with anything, and I've only started writing out plot instead of just pantsing it with no general idea of what I'm doing. I tend to get lost in characterisation because I'm too self-indulgent. I have a lot.
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? Here's the cringe bit, because I was young when I started writing - I used to type out Japanese phrases in romaji in my Detective Conan fanfics. It definitely would take me out of the experience now if I were reading it, so it might be a bit jarring if not done right.
First fandom you wrote for? I'm checking fanfiction.net for this one, because that's where your girl's roots are. Apparently, Twilight! 2009.
Favourite fic you've written? Please don't make me choose between my children. I'm proud of everything that I put out, because it is a battle to even muster up the courage to put myself out there in that way. BUT if I had to, I would pick Pecking Order, not because it's the one with the most Kudos but because I genuinely blow my own mind when I read it, thinking 'I wrote this?'
I can't think of anyone to tag so I'll leave an open invite to whoever would like to fill this out too 🥰

God please, I want to marry all your DJ designs
That question for all of the DJs
Will you merry me Mr music man ?💍
Not:(LOVE YEAR ART)
#DJ MM LOVER FOR LIFE
THANK YOU BOOK AGARGARGAGH🦀
but as for the proposal...
this is an ambitious ask to answer, because of right now, there are 62.5 DJMMs out of the list of 86 Music Men and counting i have
and i am going to personally go on the mission to draw... each of their responses.
But I should probably eliminate the ones that are taken just to make this easier since it'll just be a hard "no,I'm taken" and Deejay Memento Mori + Meeboop are kids, so they're also eliminated, which leaves us with.... 44.
like... slightly more manageable.
I haven't talked about a lot of these guys, So I'll put a little desc for each!
Without further ado
"Will you marry me?"
Tumblr media
1. Clavier! Sorry, it's a little hard for her to imagine marrying anyone after she killed her girlfriend on the day said girlfriend was going to propose to her. That's what being a religious fanatic drove her to do, not out of a devotion to a god, but in order to ensure herself an afterlife. The concept of a soul and a supposed afterlife for everything with a soul for someone without a soul and has seen nothing after her death, is very troubling
Tumblr media
2. Lieutenant Armadillum is a requested MM based off of the prompt of just. "rolly polly." So I made her a part of security. With all those armored plates I wasn't sure what else she could be. She can be nice, but she takes everything literally, or as an order, and has a problem with volume control. Congrats to you and your new, loud wife
Tumblr media
3. Walbergi/The Entertainer Piece... um. Hmm. I was almost not going to put him here because I would think he's more similar to MM than DJMM but him alongside the next two are actually just pieces of DJMM, all his jobs just assigned to their own Music Men. Walbergi (and the eliminated singer duo Lovebugz, which namely are taken) Are composers/musicians, but Walbergi is specifically a mantis entertainer that has the entire dancefloor as his wings. He is also really arrogant and feels superior to everyone around him... including you. Sorry.
Tumblr media
4. The Security piece is, to some degree, also arrogant. At least he's quieter. He's the bouncer, and he has accepted your request, but with his constant desire and and usually ready opprotunity to beat the tar out of things he's around, I'm not entirely sure if that's a good thing.
Tumblr media
5. Custodian Piece! He's the janitor and he's very lonely since he spends most of his time in the tunnels and slithering across the floor to clean it, he's kind of a people pleaser and would be over the moon to be proposed to. I'm not sure if he's good for hugs considering his entire underside is a mop. he recplaces it often, he showers yes, but he is also a full time custodian... i'm not sure if the feeling of hugging a damp wet mop would ideal
Tumblr media
6. Polybius. um. Not sure what to say? He's haunted, he's enourmous, and he's single, and ready to mingle (htough, take caution, because he might be trying to trick you into playing a game and hypnotising you. or something.) Gamer bf?
Blood and organ exposure (more like an organ diagram, ish) below the cut!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
7. The masquerader. Now we're getting into the SOS lore section of the list. This guy was the first success in shapeshifting, and could've been a lot more if he didn't try to escape by killing and taking the identity of a researcher. It almost worked, but he messed up the eyes. Typically, you only have 1 pupil in each, not 3. He was shot dead the moment his back was turned, and totally died. He doesn't like humans... at all. Sorry.
Tumblr media
8. The entertainer does, though! He's the one survivor of the brain surgery done to instill robotic motions and an "algorithm" for their behavior. He died not due to surgery, but being left to starve to death, but in his lifetime he was able to figure out that the scientists in the Oort Cloud are not there on their own will, and he convinced the Vanessa of SOS to do something about it. Nonetheless, he doesn't have the same resentment, and he accepts your proposal, mostly due to having no idea what marriage is.
Tumblr media
9. In SOS, the mastering of shapeshifting was a detrimental time for the creations of the Oort cloud, as now they could make living concept art. While some were whimsical re-imaginings of what the final product could be, like a more welcoming and humanoid "bee" design, some were made for shits and giggles, which is a horrifying concept when someone has to live through being a living product of "shits and giggles." Nonetheless, this bee is a queen bee, made her own hive, and does not want any other royalty around, especially not human royalty.
Tumblr media
10. Dolomedes is another weird concept, less based off an idea but from a pre-designed mask - a fisherman... who has no idea what a fish is. His head is in the clouds, and he accepts the proposal.
Tumblr media
11. Lucorum is not just any member of the queen's hive, but the queen's personal guard and is the loud and proud bestie of Dolomedes. That being said, she cares few for any other people. Sorry.
Tumblr media
12. This is just one individual from a massive colony of asexually reproducting failures for shapeshifting - instead of exhibiting changes to themselves, they literally have a new person grow out of them that instead exhibits those changes. Most of them don't feel romantic attraction - And due to human trauma like 99% of anything from the Oortcloud, none of them would accept the offer.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. Volupe's polycule may be a very open relationship, but none of them at least even know you. The council has decided not to accept the proposal.
This will be continued soon. I just need a while to draw + write the rest (ToT)

OKAY now that I know Tails and Sage are minecraft gamers, I HAVE to ask: how likely are they to have done research into 2b2t? I have to imagine the sheer amount of shenanigains they would get up to if they decided to do anarchy-server type stuff xD
they would have at least watched a youtube video on the server's history (idk are there multiple of those i only remember watching one) and tails would probably keep tabs on people covering what goes on in there out of morbid curiosity. im not sure if either would be interested in running or joining a pure anarchy server though, to me tails seems like much too nice of a person to actually get the i guess intended experience out of it, and i'd see the relentless nature of things and lack of order getting on sage's nerves enough for her to deliberately crash or ddos the server at some point. they're both kids after all and i'd see them having the most fun on small private servers with friends

Two parts cuz it’s so long-
Part 2
____________________________________
Lucifer
At first, it was hard to communicate with him due to his coldness
But after a bit, we start talking more by discussing about the brothers
We get along for the most part, except for when I get involved in pranks and mishaps with the brothers
As someone who tends to get good grades, I feel like I would avoid so many lectures from him 😎
Only lectures I would get is getting proper sleep and eating properly

Helps discipline the brothers in a more peaceful way
Will try to convince him to do the same
Oldest sibling 🤝
Gives him motivational messages so that he can have a nice day
Moon 🌙 x Moon 🌙
Mammon
Instantly connect due to his fun personality
Cuz he’s Mammon ofc
Actually lets him have Grimm but on the condition that he spends it properly and gives a lil kiss
We hang out a lot for studying, shopping, eating at a restaurant, etc
Flirts with him and compliments him just to see him blush 🤭
A little surprised that he has a crush on me, but it’s so obvious too
Defends him from his brothers and comforts him with affirmations afterwards 🙏
Loves to see his hands and feel them (I love his jewelry covered hands so much)
Collects every magazine with a photo of him
Simps as much as he simps (simp synchronization)
Goes to the casino with him just to make sure his debt doesn’t increase that much
I would let him be my first fr

GAMER PALS
You’re weird? IM WEIRD TOO :D
He’s a lil emo at first but I just gotta act my weirdest and bam! Status is now fellow weirdo

Gaming nights are very often cuz yes 👍
Spends a lot of time with him cuz 1: I’m an introvert and 2: he’s so lonely 🥺
Cleans his room sometimes just to help his mental health
Helps him find any rare items
Cosplay together :D
Pays at least half of what Mammon owes him
Compliments him at least once a day to help heal his insecurities 🫶
Kisses his cheek often to show my love for him
Weirdo couple ✨ (but in a not cringe way)
Satan
YOUR BEAUTY NEVER EVER SCARED ME
I see his sin as a part of him and not ALL of him
He has much more to offer and I wanna remind him that 😔
Plus I have anger issues too-
Yk I always wanted to read books but I didn’t know which ones to read
I would probably ask Satan to recommend some as a way to get closer to him 🤭
Helps him find cats and gets them close enough to pet them
They might start a lil book club where they discuss the same book they’re reading or decide which one is better
Cleans his hoard of books from time to time and leaves a lil map to help him find em easily
Hopeless romantics 🤝
Cat cafe dates :)
We write each other poems >:)
Poetic rizz duo 😎
Asmo
Besties!
It was instant connection due to love for fashion and slaying 💅
I want some makeup advice cuz I’m still a noob at it

Two pretty best friends 🫶
Beel
My himbo <3
I love to eat as much as he eats 🤝

Works out with him too sometimes
Have snacks in my bag just for him 🙏

But then what would Red Vs Blue look like as a Sword Art Online fusion?
Because, like, it's easy to just dump them in complete AU, but I mean actual story translation?
Cause obviously the Reds and Blues would be newbie player, or at least they'd be casuals who don't play very often or obsessed with a certain game/genre but not actually very good at it.
And Freelancers would be more pro-players, like Wash did e-sports but he's not really into it, he's good, but he'd rather be having fun with friends than games-as-work.
Carolina's still chasing her father's approval and her mother's shadow by being the top of the gamer world, (her mother Allison was an e-sports superstar, and a top ranker in twenty MMORPGs).
Meanwhile, Director Church has created one of the worlds first full dive Virtual Reality MMOs, and he did it all while trying to figure out a way to un-vegetable his wife, who suffered brain death years ago when trying out another company's first attempts at full dive technology.
Director is convinced if he can just learn enough about brains in simulations, he can use the data that was saved from his wife's dives and put her back to rights.
So he created the game, and it's supposed to be the best game ever, incorporating all Allison's favourite things.
But there's a catch, in order for Director to get the data he needs, the game has to be running non-stop for A While. Specifically, the players need to be playing non-stop for A While.
So he's trapped them in the game with the threat of death looming over them.
There's probably something hidden in the T&Cs of the user agreement so everyone who logs on legally agrees to this shit, but no one reads the T&Cs, so they have no idea. They all genuinely believe they'll die in real life if they die in the game, and the only way to get out is to clear it. Like, even Carolina doesn't know.
The AI overlord Operating System of the game is FILSS/Sheila.
I was thinking (alpha) Church as Carolina's IRL brother who followed their dad into computer programming, but then it (the Chex) would be weird when the Allison Data that Director puts into the game develops its own personality (Beta). So maybe he's just part of the operating systems, on of several AIs running around low key maintaining the game and adding/manifesting new missions and materials based on their interactions with the users to ensure the game is meeting everyone's skill level.
He just sort of joins the Blues and pretends to be a human player.
Man I hope Director is paying the players to be there. He'd probably only pay minimum wage. Has a hospital set up for long term monitoring of players, and Aiden is going to have a field day with the research into what this kind of shit does to people's minds.
Lopez as a Bot that gains sapience/sentience.
It takes Griff months to find out his sister is in the game. (she "just wanted to spend time with him, but holy shit bro have you seen-")
Tucker accidentally hatches some kind of demon creature and tames it, it thinks Tucker is its mother. He names it Junior.
The Freelancers are the Front Line players, making the push towards clearing the game (possibly all of them were beta players for the game?), but somehow the Reds and Blues are actually some of the most powerful players even though they mostly just stand around talking, and getting into side-quest shenanigans.
Sarge is actually Simmons and Griff's shop teacher who is determined to look out for his students in the most tsundere way possible. Donut doesn't take shop class, he does home ec, but he knows them from Simmons' brief attempts at being on the school baseball team.
The Reds and Blues (minus Sarge) are all teenagers now, probably seniors, who go to the same school. (Wash is supposed to be in collage getting ready to graduate but e-sports got in the way, Carolina is younger than him but older than the Reds and Blues.)
Butch Flowers is the home ec teacher, (or/alos a computer science teacher) he and Sarge have a one sided rivalry that got passed onto their teams.
Tucker used to be on the baseball team, but he's currently suspended for reasons that probably weren't actually his fault, but no one knows what it actually is because Tucker like encouraging the rumours, since they're hilarious.
Caboose just wanted to make friends and have fun, and now the cool kids are hanging out with him and he made a Best Friend called Church and he doesn't have to go home at all!
Doc is either a first year medical student who doesn't have time for this!!! or Donut's boyfriend the others have never met because he goes to a different school.
Is the game sci-fi guns blazing or high fantasy swords and sorcery?
I don't know, irrelevant.
The reason Church is still bad at shooting things though is because as an AI he can make himself as powerful as he wants to be, and no-selling his shots is FILSS's way of smacking him with a rolled up news paper.
