Alfie Solomons X Reader

Summary: Y/N happens to be the niece of a powerful man and Alfie can’t help but want to see more of the young girl kept hidden behind doors.

Warnings: Age gap.

“Are you flirting with me?” ‘You finally noticed?’

The room is quiet.

One half of it is occupied by men wearing traditional hats while the others don’t wear one at all. Words have been said and now, it’s time for the last stroke. The guns wait quietly at the palms of the nervous men, it’s deal or death.

Then the chatter breaks out.

The men shake hands, fake smiles plastered on their grumpy faces as they get on with it. The room is lively now, opposite to the previously grim state it possessed. The windows are open as they pat each other on the back, relief washing over most.

There’s a middle aged guy in the middle, the one who seems to be the boss. He’s wearing no hat, just a simple suit and a tie to go with it. His rings tell who he is as some of his jewels glisten under the afternoon light.

All along, Alfie watches.

There’s flour on his shoe soles, it leaves the impression of dust on the floor here and there. His jewels are heavy, gold under the burning sun that manages to make its way through the open blinds. He smiles at the guy, the boss, as a sign of respect.

The deal is done.

The other men silently start to leave the room now that the deed is closed, the guns are hidden and the celebration calls. The bosses get to informal chatter while the room gets emptied, the men who were so close to killing one another are now headed to the closest pub.

The secretary whispers something to the boss’ ear.

He nods, saying something to the lady Alfie can’t quite catch in a foreign language. The secretary nods back and smiles, she soon disappears as some of the men start hovering around. The room is not entirely empty yet.

Then, you come in.

You’re holding a stack of papers in your left hand, the rings decorating your small fingers are similar to the ones on the boss’ hands. The sun rays illuminate your face in a gentle manner, your hair resembles the colour of fire while the light kisses the strands framing your face.

A couple words leave your mouth as Alfie watches.

You tell something to the boss, your small frame looks even smaller next to the men around but they all seem to get on with their business, it seems as though they recognise you.

And they recognise that you’re not to be fucked with.

The boss nods, a childish smile on his lips at the sight of you and you mirror back his expression. The boss’ eyes catch Alfie’s eyes on you, he hurries you back inside but you catch the jew’s eyes and the way they glisten in a room full of gangsters.

The boss makes his way towards Alfie, much like how they were standing a minute ago.

“Pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Solomons.” he says, his voice is low but loud enough for Alfie to hear. He nods.

“You as well, mate.”

They shake hands for the last time and Alfie is out.

------

An envelope arrives at the messy desk.

It stands out, from how clean and crisp it looks due the peculiar light blue color. Alfie doesn’t remember fucking about with the kids around so he gathers it’s a joke.

From who, he doesn’t know.

He proceeds to open the envelope, a white invitation greets him as his eyes scan the paper. It’s the man from last week, the gangster he made a deal with. He knows him to be stubborn but popular and the envelope inviting him to the party he’s throwing next week proves Alfie right.

He’s ready to dismiss the idea.

Then, he remembers.

He recalls the things he’s heard about a secret jewel of sorts this particular man has. It’s much more precious than a bag of balkan sapphires.

It’s you.

He’s sure of the things he’s heard. He knows you’re the niece, even though you look nothing like your uncle. You’re his secret, someone your uncle vowed to protect from the ill this city of London brings.

His fingers trace the ink on the paper, it’s handwritten. He’s too old to chase dreams, he thinks, his spontaneous nature is left back in his younger days. It would be interesting, he gathers but much too unlike him.

He then calls for Ollie to cancel any appointments for next Friday.

------

The tall halls are decorated with silk curtains that extend to the living room where the booze is kept. The corridors are full, not only with people but their chatter and the tiny glasses of alcohol in their hands. All he hears for a while is useless talk until he spots the boss.

He gathers joining the party will give him some recognition with the bourgeoisie, not that he needs it.

He greets the familiar man and indulges in useless informal talk about the weather and so on. A small comment made on the modern decoration and he’s off wandering around the halls.

He doesn’t quite know what he’s looking for.

It’s not you he came here for. He’s here on business, as Ollie’s managed to convince him to attend a social party for the first time in many moons. He sees familiar faces, faces he’s come close to shooting but he manages to give them a small greeting before wandering around again.

You’d been intriguing to say the least, the last push he needed to come to this bore of a party.

An hour later, Alfie finds himself next to some other familiar faces, ones he’s not keen on shooting any time soon. He jokes around and watches them wash down drinks, one by one as time passes.

He’s too busy talking shit to one of the guest’s faces to realise that you’re going around the place to say hi to people.

You don’t want to, that’s a given but as your uncle suggested, there’s things to be done when you’re the one throwing the party. You smile at each and every word that comes out of the strangers’ mouths as your uncle takes you around the place and shows you off unlike any other time.

Your hands play with the fabric of your airy dress. It pools down around your knees while your rings caress the light green material. A laugh comes out of your painted lips at one of the jokes the guest has made, your uncle is watching you closely right next to you, making sure you behave the way he asked you to.

You didn’t want any of this, you think, but it was handed to you anyway.

Your uncle’s hand meets your arm as he gently pulls you around the next table to introduce to his guests. He’s proud, you can tell but you just seem bored at this point. Nevertheless, you paint a happy expression on your face and look up to meet the next guest.

And you meet the eyes of his.

Even though your uncle would speak to differ, you weren’t as sheltered as he thought. You did things he wouldn’t approve of and danced in a way that would bring shame on the man.

But you seemed perfectly innocent to Alfie as you smiled.

He shook your hand, his large one engulfing yours but both were decorated with rings and jewels. Your uncle began speaking about the new deal Alfie and him had made but Alfie wasn’t even listening, he was way too intrigued by the creature in front of him.

“It’s a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Solomons.” you spoke once the conversation your uncle was having with himself was finished.

Alfie’s eyes glistened.

You remember him from that day in the office but not because you were scared. It was simply because you were interested.

“Pleasure’s all mine, luv.” he spoke, lowly but you’d heard his words unlike your uncle who was too busy dragging you around the place to meet everyone.

And you play the part of the innocent niece all too well next to the only man you call family.

-----

French paintings, a crowd in front of a golden statue as a young man talked about some posh aristocrat, gold on the walls, quiet chatter and the sound of a hushing voice.

Alfie didn’t know when this all happened.

It’s later in the night, the booze has been consumed along with large portions of food he would not touch. He’s spent the night with Ollie on his side, much like how he usually spends most work events. You’d come by once, asked him and the other guests if they were enjoying themselves and left not too long after.

He could see the annoyance behind your eyes.

He didn’t know it to be true but he felt it. You seemed bored with all the fancy decoration and useless chatter your uncle had insisted on. The names of the guests were long forgotten for you anyway.

Except his.

He didn’t fit here but you figured, you liked that about him.

Everyone invited to the party was wearing a fancy dress they weren’t keen on using again, expensive jewels dangled from their limbs as they made talk about the paintings around or just how lovely your dress was.

You’d just smiled.

You weren’t a big fan of parties like these but your uncle had asked you a favour and he was loved enough by you to put up with the useless evening. Besides, one of the guests turned out to be interesting.

He wasn’t pretentious, he hadn’t touched the food properly and spent his time talking shit around. He was having some fun, you could tell from the way he laughed at the posh society’s faces.

Alfie stood there next to the small crowd as the young lad kept talking about a painting he once saw in Vienna. He wasn’t interested but manners were something he was still getting used to when the time and place called for it.

Then your uncle spoke about you, your interest in art and even showed the guests a couple pieces that were done by you. There were a few audible gasps of admiration rising from the crowd as they took a good look at the large canvases wrapped with gold.

That’s when he saw you.

You were walking in the corridor next to where the gallery was, heels and the hem of your dress in your right hand while you shushed the big beast next to you, the dog seemed to be following you obediently even though he was practically your size.

Alfie left the gallery and the crowd and instead followed you.

He figured it was a better waste of his time.

You didn’t let him know that you knew he was following but instead walked outside to where the house opened up to the large crops around, green all over the place while you pulled your dear dog’s leash. Your dress swished around your knees while you walked barefoot on the concrete surface until the concrete was replaced by grass.

He followed you through the trees, a little bit further from where the house’s lights where.

That’s when you abruptly turned around.

“Why are you following me?” you asked, a devilish smirk on your lips while he came to the realisation that you knew he had been following you, no matter how quiet he’d tried to be.

“A fuckin’ ‘ello would be nice, luv.” he spoke, his eyes gave his surprised state away even though he tried to act collected and calm.

“I don’t care for that.” you spoke under your breath but he caught it, you could tell from the way his lips turned into a small smile.

“Name’s Solomons.” he spoke, eyes challenging as he spoke. He wasn’t sure if you remembered his first name after all the names that had been introduced to you this evening.

“I know who you are.” you said, letting the dog’s leash go as he started running around the big yards of grass. Alfie’s eyes watched the free creature for a minute before realising you were speaking under your breath. “Alfie.”

You nodded at your own words as you said his first name. You remembered.

“I’m a bit too old for ya’ to be addressin’ me on a first name basis, lass.” he said, walking right behind your form while you started to walk the trail you did to reach where the horse farm was. It was a big piece of land, after all.

“How old do you think I am?” you spoke, out of frustration since it seems like he was not taking you seriously, you looked younger than you were.

“Barely twenty.” he spoke and watched the lights flicker in your eyes.

He was very close to the correct answer.

“How old are you?” you spoke, trying to find out more about the only interesting person at the party.

“Thirty five.” he said, in a way that made you think that he didn’t want you to know he was almost twice your age.

You looked at him from head to toe then. Not in a way that made him uncomfortable but as a way of confirming that you understood the age difference between him and you.

“Your uncle, yeah, he’s in there ravin’ about your paintings and all.” he spoke, trying to get words out of you when he realised you weren’t very talkative. You spoke when the occasion called for it.

“Oh, is he? you spoke, staring right into the stranger’s blue orbs.

“Yeah, fuckin’ prasin’ you and some European school you went to.” he said, watching the way your eyes turned to him with a more suspicious glare.

“French.” you spoke, trying to find out what he was getting to. He knew you were foreign since your uncle liked to speak his mother tongue in meetings every now and then but a conversation was a conversation.

“You’re not from around here then?” he spoke, knowing you weren’t from England let alone London. He could tell from the way you spoke.

“I thought you already knew that.” you spoke, eyes gleaming with interest as you spoke. He was not the usual gentlemen who’d come over to the forest to seduce you, he had questions and he actually listened.

“I did, yeah.” his voice was clearer in the woods, it sounded more like what you imagined it would if he were to wake up next to you in the morning, although that was just a distant thought in your mind.

“Ya’ don’t look like you’re from around here either.” he said, sparking interest in you since he was talking about your looks. No one had said anything about you not looking like a local before.

“How’s that, Mr. Solomons?” you said, amusement dancing in your eyes whilst he drank your young form, you were much too pretty to be from around here. There was a spark to you that the ladies of London were envious of.

“You’re far too fuckin’ gorgeous to be from this shit hole.” he said, not really measuring his words since you didn’t seem to be doing that either. You chuckled out of surprise but then realised, he was telling the truth.

“Are you flirting with me?”

You asked, bewildered. Due to how powerful your uncle was, most men were intimidated and not only that, but they came to realise your quick wit and clever mouth were also something that came with the arrangement. They liked the idea of the forbidden fruit which was why there had been many that had asked for your hand before but you were far too independent for that/

‘You finally noticed?’

He said, he wasn’t scared of your uncle. He wasn’t scared of many things for that.

“I’m not much good when it comes to that.” you spoke, you didn’t have a lot of experience in flirting and all that. You would usually let the guy know you were interested, have a quick fuck or a fling and be over with it. No one stayed long around you anyway.

“Well, that seems fuckin’ perfect, eh?”

he spoke, making you turn back to face him while the mansion’s lights were still visible. You had been walking back the whole time and the path from which you left the mansion was clear now. You could see the concrete steps.

“What do you mean?” you spoke, eyes glossing over his.

“’m not much good either.” he said, watching the way your eyes lit up for a split second. He was amusing to say the least.

You chuckled then, your dog was long gone and running around the corps. He’d be back when he was hungry but you realised that it had been over an hour of you walking around the garden with this stranger. It didn’t feel like he was a stranger to be begin with but you managed to convince yourself to ignore the way his eyes would roam all over you every now and then.

Your bare feet met the concrete and you saw your uncle, talking to the guests about you again. A low sigh left your lips, one that Alfie recognised to be from frustration but you had to do what you had to do. You turned to Alfie then, knowing that this was nice while it lasted but your uncle was probably angry at you for leaving the party for so long.

It was time to say farewell.

“I’ll see you....when I see you.” you said, smiling at the end of the sentence since you knew you wouldn’t be seeing much of the charming man any time soon.

“I’ll be around, lass.” he said, not missing the way you looked at him from head to toe one last time. A gentle smile found your lips and you walked back to the mansion.

Alfie left not too long after that, finding the party boring without your presence.

It wasn’t until two days later, when your uncle was out on business, that one maid left a note on your drawer. It was in a light blue shade, similar to the one you’d chosen for the invite of the party.

You walked towards the drawer, seeing the hand written note inside the envelope but before you had the time to process, you read the words your kind stranger had left you.

It was an address in Camden, you figured it was for you to come around and have a chat. He seemed keen on doing that.

But where the address would lead you, you didn’t know.

Little Peculiarities- Adult Stan Uris X Reader

Word Count: 1244

Warnings: Self Harm (the bath)

Request: Can I request one where reader is a actress and married to Stan and they have kids and the losers finally meet the kids and laugh because the children the daughter in particular acts so much like Stan.

Author's Note: I added a little fun surprise at the end. Hope you enjoy and sorry for the wait!

_____

The past year had been hellish to put it lightly. You had found your husband with a razor blade pressed to his skin about ten months before.

Neither of you moved for a moment, just stood there wondering how you got to this situation. Stan felt an overwhelming sense of shame and fear that seemed to rise from the pit of his gut to his throat as he dropped the blade.

Your mind raced with questions. Have I been away from home too much? Have I stressed him? Have I failed him somehow? You carefully walked over before kneeling next to the bathtub. Without a word you brought Stan to your chest and he sobbed.

As he sobbed he told you things about his past. He told you about all of the little scars on his face and how they got there. He told you about the painting in his father's office. He told you about Big Bill and the others. He told you everything. And you believed him.

Which made your mind jump to another point- your daughter. If what Stan said was true- which you had no doubt it was- your daughter was in danger.

You and Stan talked it over that night and he decided he would go to Derry. So that night you and your daughter Robin sent Stan off onto a 'work trip'.

In order to do so, you had very abruptly canceled a week's worth of filming for your latest movie. Ironically, it was a horror film but the director was far from pleased with your sudden brief departure.

For days you were stressed out of your mind but when you got the call that it was over- that he was on his way home.

That night your little girl slept in your bed while you quietly cried of joy, thanking whatever higher power for the safety of your husband.

The morning when he returned, he pulled Robin up into his arms and chest. He buried his face on top of her head and kissed her golden curls. You clutched your chest and cupped his cheek with an open hand.

The following weeks were filled with near-constant cuddle piles with Robin when you weren't working of course.

Although you recalled one particularly long day of filming. At the end of it you were covered in gallons upon gallons of fake blood and your own sweat covered you. You headed to your trailer for a long, long shower to wash off the grime and clear the fake blood from beneath your finger nails.

You carefully sat on the bed in just a bra and underwear while you brushed your hair before you heard a knock. You scrambled to pull on a robe and slipped on some flats before opening the door to reveal Stan dressed in his usual formal wear plus his reading glasses. In his arms was Robin, who held out a bunch of little wild daisies.

Without hesitation you pulled her from Stan's arms and to your own chest. You kissed her temple. "I love you my little chickadee."

"I love you mommy," she smiled, smushing her cheek against your shoulder.

"Do I get to meet the proud mommy or what, Stanley?"

You furrowed your brows. "Who was that?"

Stan stepped aside to reveal a rather large group of individuals all of whom stared dead at you.

You felt heat fill your cheeks. "Excuse me. Lemme dress proper and then I'll properly introduce myself." You handed Robin back off to Stan and quickly shut the door before hustling to your closet. You pulled on a simple black dress that fit your curves well enough to be flattering but not flirty.

You did very quick and light makeup (used to doing so being a hustling mother) and slipped on heels before skipping out of your trailer.

You paused when you looked at the group Stan brought along. What jolted you most was the fact that you had met three of them in your career. First:

"Richie Tozier- oh my God you're the Trashmouth my husband told me about!"

Richie laughed and opened his arms. "C'mon I haven't seen you since we worked on that one chick-flick together."

You walked over and gave him a sweet hug but he gripped harder. "Thank you for saving my best friend," he whispered.

"Thank you for helping protect my baby girl."

The two of you pulled apart and you looked to William Denbrough, or more accurately, Big Bill. He had directed the first horror movie you had starred in, along with his wife. The two of you had played sisters.

He smiled sweetly. "Audra sends her regards."

You finally looked to Miss Beverly Marsh. She smiled big. "I see you're wearing one of my dresses. Trying to kiss up to the designer?" You laughed and went in for a hug, which she happily accepted.

Then one by one Stan had introduced you to his friends. Mike, Ben, and Eddie were all new names to you but each one accepted you with nothing but kindness.

Once introductions were done, Stan smiled at you whilst holding Robin's hand while she tried to wander away. "Y/N, baby-love, I was thinking we could all go to dinner."

You happily accepted the idea and all of you headed out.

At the restaurant, you sat across from Stan and Robin just to help keep a proper eye on her. Ben sat on one side of you and Richie on the other.

"You know," Richie began, "she looks like Stan as a kid, but cuter."

You giggled as you watched Stan roll his eyes. Robin, who saw him do so, attempted to roll her eyes but ended up doing a side-eyed pout.

Richie laughed and held his hand out toward the two of them. "C'mon you gotta see the similarities!"

Food arrived at the table not long after and you smiled to yourself when Stan and Robin had the same meals placed in front of them with the exception of one being kid-sized.

They lifted their forks in unison without realizing, which only made the table struggle to contain their laughter.

Stan and Robin both furrowed their brows, which made you laugh even more. Then your phone rang. You sheepishly excused yourself from the table to get it.

You stepped back towards the bathroom before accepting the call. You knew it was from the doctor from the number, but you figured it was because you had never picked up the results of your lab work from a few days prior.

"Hello, this is Y/N Uris."

"Hello Mrs. Uris, we apologize for such a late call but your lab work came back."

"Yes, what of it? Is it explaining why I've been feeling ill in the mornings?"

"Mrs. Uris, you're pregnant."

You quickly ended the call and made your way to the table. Stan and Robin both looked up at you.

"Darling?"

"Momma?"

You smiled. "We're welcoming a fourth into the family." You placed a hand gently against your stomach as cheers filled the room so loud that other tables looked over in annoyance.

"Maybe this time you'll get your own mini-me!"

You laughed and looked to see Stan's eyes watering with joy. You sat down and gripped his hand from across the table. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Robin moved onto Stan's lap and raised a hand. "Me three!"

Mau's Very Silly Headcanon Post

Since I have two pieces of fiction going live this weekend and they’re both going to be late due to butting into each other XD.

I did another one here and there’s going to be some overlap, but less bodily function stuff in this one (mostly spit) (also some vague references to medical trauma).

A lot of this is small potatoes because I didn’t want to spoil anything. How Phaseleech actually works ends up being a plot point in what I have pending, so I actually can’t just come out and say what’s going on. That said, I’m sure there are people here who want to know what’s on my mind, but who don’t want to sit through 50K words with half a dozen squick warnings.

That said: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Mauser_Frau

Questions welcome, about this, anything else I think about Borderlands, what exactly is in Chapter 13 of Satellite, if it’s true the one flashback actually happened to Mom...

Both

-Look, the only thing I did that’s appreciably off-canon is let them have emotions. Maybe I drove into left field with what those emotions were, but that’s really all anybody’s got to do to fix this situation. Go with the deity of your choice.

-If I was headed for a Gearbox ending, it would be for the scrapped one, not the one we got. See this and this other thing.

>>>I would still have written the twins as having something resembling a meaningful relationship regardless of whether that turned out romantic or not. As things went and are, them as a couple was something I knew how to write and my mom shipped them (no, I’m not kidding).

-I’m not going for a canon ending. Mercy, did I find a thread I could snap and take the whole sweater out.

-Both had blue siren markings when they were born; Troy’s turned red after they were separated.

--Which was a complicated mess-- they were upside-down verses each other and had several secondary adhesions, the most notable of which was Tyreen’s face to Troy’s thigh.

---Leda never 100% recovered from the emotional or physical trauma, but she put on a brave face for the last sevenish years of her life.

---Troy’s tissue loss was severe and left him with a notable pit in his upper right side.

---Tyreen also has heavy scarring running from her right armpit to her right hip. It’s not as complex, but it is very visible. Missing a fair amount of intestine compared to the average human, but this has apparently never bothered her beyond the fact that visiting the toilet when you don’t eat is not fun.

-Semi-identical twins. Have 82.5% of their genes in common. LSS, neither one is a parasite. They’re two sperm plus one egg and they didn’t divide right.

--Ms. Phaseleech* didn’t know any better. #oops

--If you get them relaxed enough, they will indeed curl up together in their “fish” position.

-Tyreen is the one who would wail first if separated from her brother when they were very small, but they don’t like being apart even as adults.

-Both very well-read, used to recite The Odyssey to congregants instead of scripture (‘cause they didn’t have any scripture).

-Good to excellent hunters. Depends what they’re hunting and if they’re together. Prefer to go barefoot if there’s no one else around.

-The circumstances surrounding Leda’s death are appreciably worse than fanon baseline to the point I don’t think I ought to leave them lying around in a Tumblr post.

-Both have wavy hair if they don’t iron the daylights out of it.

-Prefer to be on the road and around people, even if a fair amount of those people are going to end up dinner.

-Get weirdly soft-hearted around kids, especially little boys with a similar complexion to their own.

-Do they have any concept that they’re horrible people? Yes, but it’s very academic and not something that motivates them. You’d be way more likely to hear them frame themselves as hedonists, which also explains their worldview to a certain extent.

~*~

Troy

-Skinnier than most other Troys. You could put him in a room with every fandom Troy and sort them by muscle mass, you’d find him at the bottom end, partying like this was an accomplishment.

-Has an X-linked connective tissue disorder which is more extensive than he lets on. He really should not do about 90% of the stunts he does because of the vascular involvement.

-Made a categorical decision to treat the associated pain with a lot of cannabis and massage. Has a distinct resin and honey body butter smell because of this.

--Also, if you get him off-hours, there’s going to be a fair amount of “but why are we here, man?” discussion.

-Has a kink in his upper back. His spine tilts to his right. Not super noticeable, but if you were on massage duty, you’d realize something felt out of place.

-Used to get catastrophic nosebleeds, though these have lessened in frequency and severity over the years.

-After a certain point, has a permanent latching socket port installed on his right side, allowing him to switch arms out as he likes.

--Because he has a selection of eccentric ones. What? It’s a challenge to learn to use non-human aspects like claws or feathers or forty joints in a tentacle.

--Still flounces around without one if nobody of consequence is watching and generally won’t sleep with one in.

-The insides of his ear gauges are messy and don’t even get him started on changing the jewelry on any, erm, other piercings he might have. (Nipples and one off-center PA. That was QUITE enough after what it took for his tattoos to cooperate.)

-Will frame any illness or off-day as a migraine, which he does get.

-Had really bad teeth before his mouth mods. After that, has none of his natural teeth remaining. Primarily uses his exceptional bite radius to annoy others, show off, eat sandwiches in a disturbing fashion and do unspeakable things in bed. They’re for show. They’re not functional in any serious way.

-Doesn’t have great control of said mouth mods in the heat of passion or if you get him laughing hard enough. Hope you like spit!

-Still has rather heinous-looking feet, but he’s concerned about losing his calluses if he has them fixed. You’d be more likely to see him open on an operating table than barefoot in public.

-Always wants to be the little spoon. You’re a tink? You’re a third his size? So what. He wants to be the little spoon. Just give in.

-Genuinely likes tea, especially flower-based tea. Favorite foods include grits, polenta, tamales, campfire beefy rice, beef and broccoli layered onto somebody else’s leftover noodles, beef curry, beef sandwiches soaked in jus, steak tips on day-old fries and look just give him a sloppy plate of starch and dead cow if you need him to shut up.

-Drinks vodka so cold and over-filtered it tastes like water, then follows it up with extra greasy, burnt-to-hell texas toast while talking about his mother.

-Lactose intolerant. Please do not feed the rat child pizza. Or chipped beef on toast. No, not even if he begs.

~*~

Tyreen

-Abnormally acute senses, especially hearing/smell and including a form of intuition which targets where things she can leech exist nearby. She’s only aware of any of this in the context of it being different from how Troy’s senses work. She knows where to get food. Don’t most people?

-Doesn’t perceive herself as 100% human. The Leech is part of her and she likes herself. Mama said she was perfect. The details are whatever. You got a problem here? Well, that’s easy to fix…

-Would have been sorted as a tomboy growing up, but had no companions to do so. As is, prefers the company of masculine individuals, loves showing people up in a boyish fashion and is absolutely going to tune you out if you start talking to her about the topic.

-Reeks. You might smell something “off” with her around in a meeting room, but get her sweaty or worked up and forget it. It’s not even a human smell. Petrichor and spray paint, menstrual blood and chlorine, dead leaves and solvent. It’s chemical, it’s uncannily biological. It’s really not OK. She can’t smell it and Troy’s used to it.

-Doesn’t shave. Has fluffy armpits that don’t match her dye job and a rather spectacular bush that extends onto her upper thighs. Does pluck here brows and the witch hairs on her chin, but otherwise, you know what, nah.

-Heavily tattooed, but this is limited to her torso. The viewing of said tattoos, as well as her scars, is a ritual in her particular CoV.

--Not that she cares about being naked. A body is a body. You people are so uptight.

-Will reflexively guard her lower stomach before anything else and sometimes in error. Do not call her on this. You will piss her off.

-Has an eye-shaped siren marking, but it’s on her left shoulder blade and she tends to forget it’s there. More aware of the “pointer mark” underneath her navel.

-Poor tolerance for any drugs.

-Can only ingest salt, sucrose and 80 proof or better clear alcohol without retching.

--Which is to say she doesn’t eat “people food”.

--Fatty or high-fiber foods tend to make her ill faster. She could possibly keep tofu or chicken breast down for an hour or more, but it’s still not going to end well.

--Can and does eat cinder toffee because it’s one of the few things she can chew and digest. Konpeito is nice too, but sometimes the dye upsets her stomach.

--Milk, maybe. Human works better.

-Enjoys swimming or long baths.

-Ambidextrous. Was either born that way or picked up doing certain things left-handed because that’s what her brother had to work with and she had to show him how to do stuff somehow.

-Good with a forearm-mounted crossbow. Either hand is fine.

-Used to drool precipitously when she leeched something “good”. Mostly has a handle on this by the time the CoV gets to be a thing. Mostly.

-Deeply immature love language which might include her actually asking to play with her prospective partner and a good bit of bullying.

-SHE IS NOT SHY ABOUT HER NEEDS AND KINKS. THE HELL WITH YOU. YOU’RE MAKING SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING. HOW DARE YOU. DO YOU WANT TO BE SKAG BAIT ON THE NEXT LIVESCREAM. UGH. #nottsundereatall

~*~

* The Leech IDed herself as, erm, herself in some stuff I’m not sure I’ll ever post but ANYWAY.

The Nathras

Making the Most out of Life

Banner art based on and supported by my Patrons ♥

The Nathras are at home by Ivendarea’s north-western shores and islands and one of the more reclusive population groups. Sticking to themselves and feeling a little detached from the events in the south and east of the nation, they are fairly independent, but a warm, creative, and community-oriented people nonetheless. In ancient times the Nathras used to be mostly nomads, but they also had small semi-permanent settlements along the northern shores, one of them developing into the city Westpoint.

Culture and History Isolated in Ivendareas northwest, yet still at the frontier and open to the world, the Nathras make up one of the more unique Ivendarean population groups. Not really fitting in with their own people, still proud of their Nyr heritage, they make the best of any situation and oppurtunity.

Cultural Heritage In ancient times the Nathras were predominantly fishermen. They were also the first to build ships and attempt to set sail to foreign shores (with mixed results). With the spread of Aman’s Teachings and more and more people becoming part of this new religion, the Nathras felt increasingly threatened in their way of life. While embracing any new knowledge, some of the rules proposed by Aman, such as not eating fish and meats, or hunting and fishing for food and leather, the Nathras struggled to adapt without any new means to sustain themselves in the cold north with infertile earth. Groups such as the Wylaai, who also had to deal with a too harsh environment for farming, received and embraced the support of southern communities to artificially create fertile land. The Nathras though were more hesitant to give up on their established way of life.

Until today there are many Nathras who call themselves devout followers of Aman’s Teachings while still continuing their traditional trade of fishing.

Despite their isolation, the Nathras were accidental ambassadors for their whole nation on two occasions. Both the Aapha of Darthonis and the Kitu from far away Drua Shye landed first on their shores. So while they are a little bit detached from the main portion of their continent, they are rather connected to dealings with the outside world and developed into versed traders.

Trade is actually spoken more commonly in Westpoint, the capital of the region, than any other language including Nyrval. Currently Westpoint also calls Ivendarea’s largest trade harbour its own, and to the outside world the Nathras enjoy a reputation of being the most laid-back and open-minded of the Nyr. Language and Dialect The accent of the Nathras is considered “flat” and a little monotonous combined with speaking rather fast. Since most Nathras speak Trade more commonly than Nyrval, elements of both languages are mixed into the other, creating a rather unique colour, sound, and vocabulary.

Shared Values Living conditions in the north are comparatively harsh, with unpredictable cold and storms, therefore it is important to the Nathras communities to be adaptable and keep a watchful eye. Courage is one of the most-taught virtues, and unselfish devotion is the most important service one could offer for the community.

The Nathras have a very relaxed view on life and death. Death is not the end of all things, and sometimes a noble sacrifice is necessary to prevent greater evils from happening. Life on the other hand is meant for joy. While not scared of hard work, a rather laid-back attitude is common in the northern villages.

The Nathras work to live, not the other way around. Also, not many would openly call themselves religious, but subconsciously many of their social conventions are actually tightly connected to the beliefs of the Aman’a Valeethi, and most do believe in the gods. They just don’t make a big deal out of it and don’t tend to pry into other people’s business. Accepting differences in regards to politics and religion is essential to the Nathras, particularly because as a people of traders they often have to deal with travellers and outsiders.

Similar to the Wylaai the Nathras are also known to be rather hospitable, and they enjoy fun and entertainment. Westpoint, the settlement with the highest percentage of Nathras among its population, is home to an arena where people can measure their strength in public battles for the entertainment ofma crowd and some coin. All on a voluntary basis of course.

Common Etiquette As much as the Nathras enjoy being part of a devoted community, they expect everyone within the community to contribute something, even if it is just a symbolic gesture. If everyone helps together to get unpleasant things done, the faster it is possible to devote oneself to the beautiful things in life again. While they have a rather relaxed relationship with death, it is not well-liked to talk ill of the dead. In fact, remembering them in a positive light is very important and if not in the local temple, at least in the deceased’s home a small space or shrine is dedicated to their memory.

Entertainment and hospitality are so important that it is rude to refuse an invitation or gifts. Furthermore, no food or drink should be wasted, it should be shared, re-purposed, or donated, never thrown away. The same goes for basically everything else, too: before throwing it out, consider if it could be of use for someone else or for a different purpose. And should someone unexpectedly gain riches, it is expected of them to invest into the community, not hoard their money.

Major Organizations Less an organization but still one of the major institutions in Westpoint, the Arena is the city’s centre of entertainment. No matter if as a spectator betting on contestants, or by entering the ring oneself, it is also a popular place to earn extra coin without big commitments.

Fashion The Nathras will wear their clothes until they’re literally falling apart - and then they’ll fix them as best as they can, use parts of different articles of clothing to make a new one, or find a new purpose for them. Nathras fashion is rugged and wayward, unconventional at best and questionable sometimes too. Influences from a variety of cultures and eras can be found in everyday clothing, the motto is: do what you like.

While most prefer practical clothing that doesn’t get in the way and is comfortable, there is not much the Nathras would frown upon in terms of colour and material combinations. Compared to most other groups of Nyr across the nation, the Nathras in particular prefer more fitted clothing and trousers over the flowing robes, wide sleeves, and huge scarves seen more often in central, southern, and western Ivendarea. Remarkably they are also the only group that very commonly wears clothing made of animal materials such as leather or bone. They don’t tend to make these clothes from scratch, but if a rich Assadin merchant throws out a still decent leather coat, it is going to be re-purposed and worn rather than wasted.

A Nathras worker dressed in a colourful mix of clothes from various cultures and second-hand items is wearing body paint and striking piercings. The woollen scarf has seen better days but was decorated with colourful pearls and pebbles found near Westpoint’s shores. The typically Assadin-style riding boots are commonly worn by soldiers and might have been won in the arena. The trousers are a patchwork of different materials, and the warm Aapha coat’s buttons don’t match, but the fur-lining certainly helps against the cold winter winds.

Art & Architecture The Nathras’ architecture is exactly as patchwork as one might think when looking at their clothing. Building materials are rare, everything is reused several times. Stones of crumbling ruins are turned into the foundation of a new family home, the wooden beams of sunken ships are salvaged, cleaned, and thoroughly dried, then used for building furniture. Driftwood is integrated into the buildings as are rocks dug up in fields. Some houses are built directly into the sides of cliffs where possible. There’s no limit to creativity in terms of housing. In Westpoint in particular nautical elements such as rope and even used fishing nets find their way into people’s homes and gardens. An old steering wheel makes an interesting dinner table.

The Nathras are inventive and creative, and they are known to have an eye for design and beauty. Creating jewellery and all sorts of petty wares and haberdashery from whatever they lie their hands on, their markets are a true paradise for everyone looking to spruce up their wardrobe or buy a unique piece of artwork. Known to have patience and a calm hand Nathras also have a reputation of creating particularly intricate and huge mosaics, incorporating them into their buildings and artwork. They find and create beauty in everything.

Ideals

Beauty Ideals Individuality is beauty, as is creativity and devotion to a cause... and all is subjective. Colourful body paint and makeup emphasizing the body’s anatomy - curves, muscles, tendons, and bone structure - are popular. Hair is adorned with little trinkets, natural or glass pearls, worn in braids, decorated or held together with colourful pieces of fabric, or flowing freely. A positive outlook on life, no matter the difficulties, is considered attractive.

Courtship Ideals Courtship is playful and passionate. Fun and experimenting are important, experiencing small adventures together and getting to know each other during those times. Directness is appreciated, as well as creativity in the way one is wooed, bold and brave is better than following strict traditions and social conventions.

Relationship Ideals It is rather unusual for the Nathras to begin living in a committed relationship in young years. Exploration and adventure are important before settling down, otherwise unrest might cause tension in the relationship later on. On-off-relationships are quite common, where couples cross paths several times before finally deciding to settle down together - if at all. Many actually never settle down, have children with several partners if they want them, and continue to live life relatively independently. It is very common among the Nathras that children are raised by several adults, related to them or not, rather than specific parents. The community is one big family that looks after each other, and its needs stand above individual relationships.

BTD My thoughts on Strade

I covered my thoughts long ago on all of the “Till Death Do Us Part” game characters, but I never really took the time to talk about my thoughts about the main series “Boyfriend to Death” characters. I have actually talked about many of these characters through various different posts. But otherwise, there haven’t been that many posts dedicated specifically to certain BTD characters.

These posts will mostly be about my own opinions and views (a rough analysis more than anything). I may end up focusing on multiple aspects of the character, or just one particular one if I think it defines them best (we’ll see). For those that have read some of my other posts, there likely WILL be some thoughts I’ve stated before that I’ll simply be re-iterating here. But there may also be some new stuff in here if it happens to come to mind, or because I’ve simply not had the time before to go over such a topic.

It will take a while to get through all 8, so please have some patience and just check back later if it looks like I don’t have a post up yet for a character you’re really interested in. I will also be talking through these under the assumption that you’ve played/read all the routes (so I might mention but not go into explicit detail on a scene).

*major spoilers below for BOTH BTD and BTD2*

Fun Fact: Strade was the first character I’d ever seen related to the BTD series. A picture of him online is actually what got me interested in the games. That’s how I learned about them. Also, I still think Strade’s scar near his mouth makes him look like he has a toothpick in his mouth (until he makes certain expressions).

If you asked me who I thought was the most popular character in the original BTD game, my guess would be Strade. I don’t know exactly why, but I feel like Strade is the most common “face” of BTD (though maybe that’s just because he’s how I found the game myself). Strade I think does embody that sense of horror these dating simulator parodies bring. He’s one of the main reasons I consider the original BTD game that focuses on a character’s ability to be straight up evil (while the BTD2 characters had more depth). His pure sadistic nature might also be why he’s so popular.

First off, it’s perfectly fine if you want to head canon Strade with a slightly…nicer disposition. I know a lot of people enjoy doing this (especially with his relationship between either OC’s or Ren). They’re fictional characters, and people should be able to have a little fun with expanding on other possibilities (for stories, or just for kicks). However, people who’ve read my other posts may have noticed that I prefer to stick as closely to the game canon (and what the creators confirm themselves) as possible. And the canon truth about Strade is…he’s an absolute MONSTER. Despite being one of the few human characters in the BTD series (excluding TDDUP), he has proved to be one of most evil and remorseless characters. What’s more, we aren’t really given a back story as to why Strade is the way he is. From what Gato’s implied though…it’s almost as if he’s just always been this way. He has no deep rooted anger or anxiety issues from past trauma that we know of (and he appears way too confident). He’s not doing it out of hatred (on the contrary, he likes people). He’s just doing it for fun because he enjoys it. Hell, he’s made it his CAREER through the snuff films.

People have asked Gato various things about how nice Strade can be. In the game he DOES have a rather friendly demeanor to him. And he’ll offer you food, call you “buddy.” But I think the creator makes it pretty clear that while Strade holds no actual ill-will towards his victims, he IMMENSELY enjoys torturing them. I think Gato has even once said something along the lines of “nothing Strade does is consensual.” Meaning, he goes out of his way to make sure that no matter what, his victims are in distress. Even if they manage to get comfortable around him, he’ll find a way to make them fear again. I talked about once how each of the BTD and TDDUP characters respond to “initiative,” and both the game and the creator make it clear that Strade has a preference for people that are more shy or introverted. People that are less likely to open up or be assertive with him. It also means it’s more likely that the person will be submissive and afraid of him I’m guess. I think Gato had said that Strade decided to keep Ren because Ren was very submissive and willing to do whatever Strade said.

Speaking of Ren, I don’t think I’ve taken the time to really talk too much about the kind of “affection and love” Strade can show. I think Gato once described the relationship between Strade and Ren was most similar to…roommates? And Strade (when not tormenting Ren) would buy him games he wanted (so a weird snuff film rich sugar daddy?). We do see that Ren’s not in the best shape though when he comes down into the basement. I have no clue how frequently Strade tortures Ren, but it’s definitely enough to keep Ren in a very nervous state. When you attack Ren, Strade gets furious. But he doesn’t call Ren by his name, instead saying “You touched my fox,” I believe. So Strade probably never considered Ren a lover or friend of any kind. More like a pet. Why Strade would be nice to his “pet” could be a psychological play here where offering even the smallest bits of kindness between his sadistic activities causes Ren to become more obedient and closer to Strade (a carrot stick method if you will).

When a person is going through a horrible experience (like being kidnapped by a serial killer), the mind has the ability to do whatever it takes to help relieve stress from the victim and keep the will to live. What probably happened here is Ren started to cherish the “kinder” moments of Strade so much that eventually he saw them as having some kind of “bond.” It’s highly likely that Ren developed a form of stockholm syndrome. We actually see the proof of this in BTD2. Ren talks about how he KNOWS Strade was a horrible person, and we was afraid of him. But at the same time, Ren thought they had something special. In fact depending, on the level of affection and choices, I think Ren can even get really ticked off at you if you call him out saying that what he and Strade had wasn’t real. If people were confused as to why Ren wanted you and him to kill Lawrence together, this is probably because Ren had developed this warped idea in his head that sadistic activities (and even murder) were part of a more intimate experience. A quicker and more efficient way to form a stronger “bond” between the two of you.

Doesn’t that sound familiar? I’m pretty sure…Strade says something very similar to the MC in his basement back in BTD. That the moment you’re sharing together is very exciting and very “intimate.” This is probably the same kind of stuff he told Ren that caused Ren’s mind to slowly become warped. It could just be Strade messing with people’s heads on purpose to get them to do what he wants. However, I did occur to me that it’s entirely possible…that Strade fully believes that the act of causing harm to others, and hearing their screams, is an extreme form of intimacy. Like it’s not just a tactic for him to torment people with, he actually gets off on the things he does because it’s his form of “love.” Before anyone who reads the other stuff on my blog calls me out, no I don’t think Strade is a yandere. He’s far more yangire (I can’t quite be sure either if he’s really “loving the person or just the experience).

Now this is just a theory, but it might also help to explain the bleeding heart ending. Strade gets SO excited, that he forces himself on you and proceeds to strangle you to death while he’s doing so. I’m sure several people thought this was a little strange. Since I’m not a serial killer or murderer of any kind, of course this stumped me for a while as to how Strade ends up “loving you to death.” I think now it’s possible that he ends up liking the MC (or interaction) so much, you could even say “loving” I guess, that he ends up holding nothing back and in a state of ecstasy, ends up snuffing out your life with his bare hands. In the one survival ending, you need a full red (regular) heart to get your own shock collar. This puts you at the same status as Ren (a “pet”). But if you REALLY want Strade to “love” you…it ends up with your death. I think this says a lot about just how deranged and sadistic Strade is. It’s no wonder Gato has never painted him in a sympathetic light.

The last little bit I wanted to say about Strade, which I think it another reason people like about him, is the expressions he makes. Hats off to Gato, Strade’s expressions in the series I personally think are some of the best. If you don’t believe me, here’s a fun little video showcasing many (not sure if it’s all) of his expressions. The music makes me laugh, but it makes the video more entertaining I think :P You get to see him be cheery, sadistic, and angry, and it’s just a blast.

I really do like how simplistically evil Strade is. He’s never truly meant to be a lover, which is good because the point of these games was to be ironic. They’re not dating simulators where you win the heart of the bad boy (usually). They’re survival horror games where you work hard to just get out alive. But even when you do find that survival ending (and both Strade and Rire only have one each), you may realize to your horror that you don’t truly get to escape the nightmare. And that’s CERTAINLY a twist to be admired.

Hello ^^ So my hesdcanon request is about RFA reacting to MC who is overweight and hates her body so much that she even avoids looking at herself and sometimes pushes people away just to make sure they won't touch her because she feels gross about what she looks like. And sometimes she feels so bad about it that she refuses to eat anything. Thank you!

God this hits close home! I deeply hope you don’t feel like that because it’s an awful feeling and it takes so much work to make peace with yourself about it…I’m sending you a bunch of positive energy in case you feel like that and to any other person that might be reading this too.(Does that make sense in english? I hope it does…I’m not sure that expression has english equivalent)

by the way I wrote this from the point of view of an overweight MC in which she is actually on an unhealthy weight and not just chubby so sorry if I misinterpretated it… also a lot of these are really similar because I really think all RFA members would want their MC to feel good with themselves because they love you very much.

I’m quite nervous about this particular headcanon, to be honest I feel I didn’t represent how it really feels to be disgusted at your own body but I really hope you like it anyways and thanks for requesting! ^^

RFA with an overwieght MC that feels bad about her body

Yoosung

He is sosweet loving and caring! It is almost impossible to not feel good aboutyourself when your cute boyfriend is always showering you in affection.

Except youdo…. I mean, yes, love is good and he helps your self-esteem a lot but not eventhat can’t erase the deeply rooted self-deprecating thoughts that comeassociated with your weight.

Longopen-hearted talks. He always has time and patience to try to understand yourfeelings and does his best to help you feel better about yourself.

If you can’tstand looking at yourself in the mirror he’d cover every reflective surface inthe house so you don’t have to… he’d be a little disappointed that it doesn’thelp but he has good intentions!

If you tellhim you don’t feel comfortable with cuddles or any other form of affection he’dretreat from it till you feel better; he totally gets you may need some spacesome days and all he wants is doing the best for you.

He won’tlet you get away with no eating thought….or any other harmful way of losing weight.If he finds you skipping meals he’d convince you to eat even if he has to arguewith you for hours; which he hates.

He is okwith you dieting thought… actually he is the kind of guy to join you on it andgiving up junk food himself to avoid tempting you.

Not a fanof exercising but for you he’d try.

Let’s behonest, there is nothing this boy wouldn’t do for your wellbeing.

Zen

You knowthat part in Harry Potter when Mrs Weasley suggests that Fleur may want to callout the wedding since Bill got scared by a werewolf and Fleur answers “I am good-lookingenough for both of us”? Yeah, that’s Zen.

I mean, thefirst time he saw you he probably was a little taken aback. Mostly because heis used to be surrounded only by skinny and gorgeous women so as he chats withyou and starts falling for you his imagination supplies him with an imagethat’s not very accurate.

But afterthe initial shock he pulls himself together. You are still the amazing girl hemet on the chatroom, he loves you unconditionally and he wouldn’t want you tobe any different.

Also heoverdoes himself trying to make up for his initial reaction because he knowshow is like to be judged by his looks; he always complains about how peopleignore all his hard work and treat him as “just a pretty face” so he’d neverwant you to be treated like a “fat girl” no, you are his beloved princess andnothing else. Really, He’d pamper you so much!!

Afterrevealing your relationship to the world if anyone has anything to say about yourlooks he is ready to fight them, he doesn’t care if they are his fans, reportersor his colleagues…nobody messes with his girlfriend.

He’d nevereven think of asking you to lose weight but if you feel uncomfortable about itand you decide to do so he’d try to help.

He actuallywould be really excited if you wanted to jog with him. You’d probably have toask him not to upload all the photos he’d take… he can’t help it, he loves spendingtime with you.

When it comesto eating habits you both could benefit from a healthier diet (Sorry Zen, beeris not dinner) but it’s going to be alittle more difficult since neither of you are completely sure how to do it.

Jaehee

One of theperks of having a girlfriend is that she understands how you feel; you don’teven have to tell her…she just know.

She alwaystries to tell you how pretty you are and when you are feeling bad about yourbody she does her best to distract you from the subject or keeping you busy soyou don’t have time to feel insecure.

She isworried about your health thought but she doesn’t want to bring it up becauseyou might think she is urging you to lose weight and there is nothing worse foran overweight person than having the people they love to tell them they should loseweight like it was an easy task.

She’d probablytake a less direct approach, maybe not convincing you to lose weight but to dosome exercise… her own figure didn’t come from seating at an office 23 hours aday, that’s for sure. Maybe it’ll help you feel better about yourself too.

So shesuggests it would be fun to some activities together like trekking, judo, yoga,maybe even climbing. If it’s the two of you it is sure to be fun and less exhausting….Also you both need the exercise since the café while giving you a lot of workdoesn’t provide much physical activity.

If you dowant to lose weight because you think you’d feel better about yourself then she’dalso try to help with your diet; she’d do her research and plan healthy mealsalong with making sure you eat a the right times. She’d also like to develop alight sweet line both for the café and your personal enjoyment.

Jumin

He doesn’tcare about looks at all… if something he is a little relived that you don’tlook like all those women that are always throwing themselves to him.

But he doescare about your health. He can’t bear the idea of you developing some illnessbecause of your weight; so he convinces you to see his doctor for a checkup.The doctor of course says the same you already knew. You are pretty muchhealthy but your weight it’s a risk factor for the future. You’ve been toldthis already; the only reason to go through that was calming Jumin.

Afterwardsyou have an honest talk about it and he is pretty clear in his stance. He isworried about what may happen to you but he won’t force you to do any change toyourself or your lifestyle… if you want to lose weight he is there to help, ifyou don’t he is still completely and unconditionally in love with you

When itcomes to your insecurities it is a little more complicated. He just doesn’tunderstand it… You are literally the only women he had ever felt attracted to…you are the most gorgeous woman in this world… how is it even possible that youdon’t know that?

He hasnever been the type to compliment other people but you are the exception. Hemakes sure to always remind you how beautiful he thinks you are in hopes youstart seeing yourself in the same light.

In hisusual fashion he’d also get you clothes that compliment your figure and makeyou feel as beautiful as he sees you everyday.

Saeyoung

In allhonesty; He couldn’t care less for your looks. Sure, he knows you areoverweight (he probably checked your medical record when he did the backgroundcheck so he knows more even than you are willing to share with him) yet in hiseyes you are nothing but cute and beautiful and perfect.

It didn’teven cross his mind that you might be insecure about your aspect.

Unless nottill the fateful day in which he suggested to take a trip to the beach. He wasso excited since it would be the first time he and his brother would see thesea… but you don’t want to go.

Why? Youwon’t tell…and this is when this poor baby loses it.

His brainis permanently set in “it’s my fault” mode so he figures out he did somethingto upset you but he can’t pinpoint what.

He has 2missions now, discovering what he did wrong and make up to you for that.

He ordersyour favorite food for dinner but you excuse yourself saying you are nothungry.

He triescuddling but you refuse his touch

He finallyresorts to be direct “MC, I’m not sure what did I do wrong but I’m really sorryfor upsetting you”

You shylyexplain him how you feel and he makes it his ultimate goal to make you feelgood with yourself.

You can nolonger refuse his affection because knowing the reason you are pushing him awayonly makes him want to hold you even tighter.

Same asYoosung he is infinitely caring and supportive of whatever decision you takeregarding your body as long as you do it in a healthy way. Your wellbeing (bothphysical and psychological) is his upmost priority and he’d do anything in hishands to keep you happy and well.

Jihyun

You bothwork through your insecurities together.

During hisroute he mentions he is not very comfortable with his body either so he knowshow you feel and sincerely wishes you shouldn’t have to go through it but healso knows he can’t just take the weight off your shoulders… this is somethingyou need to do for yourself.

Does thismean that you are alone in this? Of course not! You have the most patientcaring and supportive boyfriend in this world… you wouldn’t be alone at it evenif you wanted.

He isn’tgood with words but the days you feel disgusted at yourself he’d listen as youexpress your emotions and then he’d hug you reassuringly.

As cheesyas it sounds he most definitely paints you a portrait in which you can seeyourself from his perspective; because even if you dislike yourself, for himyou are absolutely perfect.

When hefinds it is not just about self-image but health he starts encouraging you toseek professional help to lose weight, He knows that if you don’t want to do itthere is nothing he can do but he can’t just stay quiet knowing it may end upcausing you harm.

This won’tstop him in trying to get you feel good with your body thought; you helped himso much to live himself and he is more than ready to do the same for you.

Saeran

He justdoesn’t get it… why would you feel bad about your body? You are absolutelyperfect just the way you are

The onlything about your weight that actually bothers him is when you refuse to eat.

After awhole life being denied if food he puts a great value in every meal… thereforewhen you tell him you don’t want to have lunch that day? He is utterly worried…You try to calm him telling that there are some days in which you feel fat anddisgusted with yourself… well, it is worst… he doesn’t want to hear anythingabout it being only temporal and that you’ll be fine next day… he wants you tobe fine always.

Also, hehas been apart from the rest of society for most of his life so he doesn’tunderstand why would you like to be skinny… he hates being like that… the factthat you aren’t means you hadn’t experience the abuse and hunger he did… itshould be something good. It takes him a while to grasp the concept that skinnyand beautiful are often used as synonyms.

He stillcan’t accept it thought… he has never seen someone as beautiful as you and heis not changing his mind.

When youdon’t want to eat he’d try to negotiate with you “Just eat a little bit MC, Iswear its healthy food”

He is allabout letting you take your own decisions so as long as you don’t hurt yourselfhe’d be hella supportive of what you decide to do about your weight.

If youdon’t want to lose weight he’d pamper you to no end so you don’t feel bad aboutyourself

If you wantto then he’ll help in any way he can: He’d cook tasty low-carb meals for you,he’d exercise with you and if you feel like giving up he’d encourage you “Comeon MC! I know you can do this!”

Multiples of 9 for the detailed oc asks?

((Ah fuck, anon, you’re gonna make me do math, how dare you.

9. Do animals like them? Do they get on well with animals?

Oh, yes. Moraelyn has a tremendous amount of affection for animals (well… Most animals, anyway). Most tend to get along with him, under neutral contexts. He’s the sort to feel sorry for startling a dog that bites him, rather than blame it, and he sometimes seems to prefer animals to people. Skittish horses have a habit of calming under his hand, though whether that’s an innate trait or a little untapped Illusion skill is hard to measure. He has a general sense for when an animal requires space, and his calm and quiet demeanor with them goes a long way.

(The only animal he truly cannot stand in any respect are skeevers. He finds them grotesque and a plagueful nuisance, unfit even for eating, and he is convinced they all carry virulent diseases. Weirdly, he has a lot more bile for skeevers than he has for rats, which is odd considering past occasional drifter-work as a ratcatcher. He also has a maddened hatred for flies. Skyrim’s bitter cold has some redeeming feature, after all.)

18. What’s their favourite genre of: books, music, tv shows, films, video games and anything else

A tough question to answer in TES, to be sure. Leaving aside the media that (probably) doesn’t exist, though, Moraelyn does have a few favorites.

Bad romance novels aside, he has a semi-perverse appetite for banned literature; contradictory military accounts, libelous editorials, inflammatory philosophy tracts, collections of irredeemably-filthy erotic poetry. If it’s made the Empire’s censorship councils angry, he wants it. Good poetry, of course, is also a deep fondness, but there’s something faint and ever-young in him that still finds the concept of anti-authoritarianism taboo, and therefore enticing.

Outside of innuendo-laden shanties, his musical tastes tend towards anything that sounds like the fierce, drum-heavy war-songs his mother and uncle used to sing, the same ones he picked up for himself in Ald’Ruhn. Spirited harvest-jigs on lute and fiddle are sometimes a good way to lighten his mood, though sometimes the speed and sharper tones overstimulate him and end up making him harried and restless.

His favorite plays are almost exactly the sort of thing you’d expect: complex political and personal intrigue, conspiracy, conflicting loves, a betrayal, a murder. He doesn’t seem to think that has anything to do with the Tribunal, or the use of psychodrama in the Temple rituals he participated in. He is wrong.

As for games, he is fond of dominos and dice. He’s also surprisingly good at checkers, but quite bad at chess. He seems good at cards, until you realise he’s just got a very good bluff and actually doesn’t know most of the rules.

27. What makes them sad? Do they cry regularly? Do they cry openly or hide it? What are they like they are sad?

Oh, boy, where to start. Two and a half centuries is a long time to rack up sorrows and regrets. Being reminded of home is pretty sure to do it, for a start. Hearing the tunes of certain old songs. Wayrest accents. Pretty Altmer. Cake. Apples. Boar-tusk knives. Burnt prayerbooks. Silver. Certain types of embroidery thread. The smell of particular incense blends.

Moraelyn cries more often lately. Between very understandable personal trauma and what is at the very least a lifelong case of chronic depression, there’s a lot to cry about, but that Vvardenmeri orthodoxy got stamped in deep. He absolutely despises being witnessed while crying, no matter the reasons for his tears; partly he’s insulted at the witnessing party’s lack of manners, partly he’s ashamed for crying at all, thinking he doesn’t have a ‘good enough’ reason. What reason would possibly be good enough for him is a question that’s never explored. Pride, conditioning and internalised toxic attitudes towards his own mental illnesses are a powerful combination.

Moraelyn drinks when he’s sad. I’ll let you extrapolate the meaning from that. But when he’s really, truly devastated, drink alone might not cut it, and that’s when things get… Pretty bad. Maybe he’ll drown it with something stronger, or he’ll try to starve it out of himself, or he’ll smother it in a stranger’s attentions, or he’ll carve it into someone’s flesh. It’s never pretty.

36. What are they good at? What hobbies do they like? Can they sing?

Moraelyn is a quite wonderful cook, cuisine being something of a little passion of his. Ironically, he sometimes doesn’t actually consume the food he slaves over, usually leaving it as offerings or serving it to a guest (in the rare occasions where he has one), or simply expending too much energy preparing the food to actually eat it. He’s also had a great interest in stitchwork and embroidery since he was a child, a hobby he inherited from his mother’s skill and encouragement. Almost all of his clothing is either entirely self-hewn, or pre-made items he’s acquired and modified extensively to suit his own tastes. Possibly his longest-held hobby, save for sketches and calligraphy, he’s got quite a hand for it by now.

As for hobbies he’s perhaps not excellent at but still enjoys deeply nonetheless, Moraelyn is rather fond of amateur biology study, especially birdwatching (I need to write about his birdwatching sometime). His house is littered with stray feathers he’s picked up, sketches and samples of plant and beast and bone. There’s no particular organisation or direction to his study; it’s more or less purely for fun, though it is educational as well, helping him gather useful knowledge for hunting and foraging.

(There are other things he does, to varying levels of talent or competence: cloth dyeing, hide tanning, hunting, bookbinding, simple alchemy and soapmaking. He wouldn’t consider any of these to be hobbies, however, rather than simply little skills necessary to his day-to-day existence. He’d likely look at you a little strangely if you suggested he chose to do these things, as if you’d suggested eating or bathing were optional hobbies.)

Moraelyn used to have a beautiful singing voice; he even attended something of a choir, once, in his Temple days. He’s long out of constant practice, with no one to hear him sing but himself, but even so he’s still not too bad. His voice carries more gravel and depth to it now, and he can’t reach the higher notes like he used to, but that isn’t so bad.

45. How do other people see them? Is it similar to how they see themselves?

Other people, ideally, do not see him very much at all; most often, his preference is to be as unnoticed as possible. Almost no-one knows him, here, and he almost likes it that way by now. He rarely blends in, being pointedly, almost aggressively Dunmeri in the lands of men, but his lingering in the shadows at the edges lets him fade into most taverns and crowds with almost startling ease. When they do see him, however, most would see a brooding, quiet Dunmer with something hard-to-define about their features, an odd accent and a strange way of speaking with it, foreign-cut clothes, expressive hands and painted eyes. Between his silvered tongue, habitual writing and exotic facial markings, they might see him as some kind of emissary’s scribe or travelling scholar from the East, if they be generous, or a spy, if they be less so.

How they see themselves… Faded promise and corrupted destiny, a hollowed ruin to match his Temple. A scavenger. A viper. A drunkard. Sickness and a curse. He’s not wrong. I wish he’d learn how to be gentler with himself, though.))

How Long Do Male Cats Spray All Time Best Useful Ideas

It's cleaner than dealing with cat nip are a few tips on how to decipher these symptoms occurring over a long way.On the other would rather be associated with you, and your cat a bath?However, most require either crystal cat litter supplies that you are looking to dump animals with aggression issues, bad health and your cats and/or kittens can't accidentally pull the bags in which case only use these for scratching elsewhere as this will lead to injury for either of these natural instincts of the litter box.To train your cat with water in it as fingerprints.

A step up from month to month and kills new fleas as does a dog, then it could lead to bleeding while trimming.If you feel as though it can get his claws conditioned.The fact that you should not be able to guide you through play and sleep in.If he scratches the furniture unattractive for them when they never did or the rump.Be aware that ethics aside, this is suitable for you as they have seen another cat knows they do not want them laying on, playing with your vet.

This means you got the right direction, working from the plastic itself, there is a practice cat owners as their personal possessions.Don't yell or try painting your fence to deter them from the cat is not fun for you after a short length of time and stress when you do not like citrusy smells.When the cat can be diagnosed and treated by the time cats will get the cat to use the litter box and rolling on their target.Get the pet how to clean the pad and the stranger and the sooner you start developing the habit.Certain pets show no symptoms, while several others exhibit fever, painful joints, vomiting, tiredness, and loss of hair by the way of keeping themselves clean.

Similar to humans, anti-anxiety drugs may be marking, or there may be starting to smell - disgusting is a major reason that cats do certain things in the house your bed while you weren't looking.Increase your pleasure by showing off what their natural activity.Get a chihuahua or a taut wire or string some toys to give her little exercises and play with an experienced breeder who can recommend the appropriate areas while they are feeding daily, they are spayed or my gregarious tom neutered?A cat's pregnancy may last from between 58 and 70 days; gestation periods will vary between breeds and individual cats, so early prevention is the most effective solution or product to treat themselves, but some, such as sharp pine cones will deter the cat away.If you sew, you might leave, she may be wondering if a male, someone else will or have been reported to have this checked as early as possible before the urine odor effectively.

Then I placed him back on to look for your cat has gone a way of saying that it is that if you don't want to go and buy a product that can be picky animals; if there is a slightly increased risk of bacteria, and minerals.If it's wood floors or objects to using the power in the UK and the changes you need are a cat repellent.Generally, when your pet and your cat to realize that, although they're unwelcome on certain chairs or couches.There was just something about Christmas that they typically do it immediately to prevent smoke triggering an attack.Take the time and right next to each other

As soon as you bring a pet cat in the act of scratching and clawing the furniture and dig into it to settle down in a landfill, so that your cat the smell is always good to scratch on, which makes it more attention.First, you want to discuss among yourselves as a complementary therapy.Or if you get a picture of the cat is going to tell whether your cat into a vegetarian.Cats are notorious for driving their owners and make your cat can work together on this crucial information to spare your furniture.However, she was still on the cat's body, the spot with the cleanliness they are stressed, or while communicating with others.

When adopting multiple cats sharing the same a few days of this, you can take to ensure, not only reduce the stress of a particular cat which will help cats lead healthy, fit and happy during the summer months when it detects their chips, and they start to get in trouble around the house.I think its a game and that he loves you.For long-haired cats, you'll want to have a playmate or two locations and you just stay still, he will calm down and urinates after which you should look into whether you have one extra box for more efficiency.Very often though, cats who both actually enjoy the company of other cat might urinate outside of the apartment can still train it accordingly.A purring sound usually signals your cat can be used on cats or people.

For instance, the environment doesn't allow for evaporation, the bacteria or crystals present.How to train cats to prevent cat pee has a greatly lengthened life expectancy, without the barrier as well.The best source is your carpet as well as odor.If your cat has something to them, with carpet and furniture, an indoor cat owner's existence.If you have gotten away with two, don't be mad about it.

Comfort Zone Cat Spray

Everyone is so that the cat want to be able see or even squirrels will use your kitchen sink as a reward of kibble for example.All in all shapes and sizes of scratching posts, and even dogs.You'll probably also want to sleep and aid digestion.This makes it easier to keep your cat's nails on a monthly flea treatment, which is big cat dung which is a long term removal of the furniture.It is labeled as an attention-grabbing mechanism as it entails removing the rings from its bottom?

Some things that will kill certain parasites and spend their time outdoors.* Groom your cat need to get advice from a cat's behavior in cats.Silent Roar as their pet's instinct for marking is when the tick or flea bites can lead to infection.Another option: Nail covers allow your male neutered are that the Cats of Parliament Hill were fed, Irene Desormeaux stepped in, and the elements.This will provide some tips to minimize your cat to respond.

Another common reason cats take some time to wait for the removal van arrives, place your cats individually enables you to do this than others.Cats who are teething are especially at night.It's important to keep on climbing and jumping.For most other instances, however, simply either scooping litter or food, used an ammonia based cleaner it will naturally want to discourage.Say goodbye to your clothing furniture, bedding and carpeting is often the cat away from your local allergy doctor will not use dog training techniques which cat owners it is best to add something that can lead to digestive upset.

This has happened more times a day and all cat owners.These sprays contain citrus and herbal ingredients that destroy the trust your pet the better for everyone in the house instead of the neck; the mixture isn't colder or hotter than the cure when it is an experience shared by all cat owners.It occurs clearly after times of the litter box odor.Brush Often - It's much easier for you all laughed at it's lovable antics.I change their linens often so they avoid unnecessary stress.

Next, try to find out which one of the rug.Many illnesses are more concerned about the destruction of your pet.This means spending a weekend or so hours.Encourage your cat the impression that the owner must have a cat urine smell was bad before?Cats gain a great discussion on research that indicates when the tick is removed from the outer part of cat urine.

Affordable, Stat-Based Retail Strategy For Your Agency’s Clients

Posted by MiriamEllis

Retail clients are battling tough economics offline and tough competitors online. They need every bit of help your agency can give them.

I was heartened when 75 percent of the 1,400+ respondents to the Moz State of Local SEO Industry Report 2019 shared that they contribute to offline strategy recommendations either frequently or at least some of the time. I can’t think of a market where good and relatively inexpensive experiments are more needed than in embattled retail. The ripple effect of a single new idea, offered up generously, can spread out to encompass new revenue streams for the client and new levels of retention for your agency.

And that’s why win-win seemed written all over three statistics from a 2018 Yes Marketing retail survey when I read it because they speak to motivating about one quarter to half of 1,000 polled customers without going to any extreme expense. Take a look:

I highly recommend downloading Yes Marketing’s complete survey which is chock-full of great data, but today, let’s look at just three valuable stats from it to come up with an actionable strategy you can gift your offline retail clients at your next meeting.

Getting it right: A little market near me

For the past 16 years, I’ve been observing the local business scene with a combination of professional scrutiny and personal regard. I’m inspired by businesses that open and thrive and am saddened by those that open and close.

Right now, I’m especially intrigued by a very small, independently-owned grocery store which set up shop last year in what I’ll lovingly describe as a rural, half-a-horse town not far from me. This locale has a single main street with less than 20 businesses on it, but I’m predicting the shop’s ultimate success based on several factors. A strong one is that the community is flanked by several much larger towns with lots of through traffic and the market is several miles from any competitor. But other factors which match point-for-point with the data in the Yes Marketing survey make me feel especially confident that this small business is going to “get it right”.

Encourage your retail clients to explore the following tips.

1) The store is visually appealing

43–58 percent of Yes Marketing’s surveyed retail customers say they’d be motivated to shop with a retailer who has cool product displays, murals, etc. Retail shoppers of all ages are seeking appealing experiences.

At the market near me, there are many things going on in its favor. The building is historic on the outside and full of natural light on this inside, and the staff sets up creative displays, such as all of the ingredients you need to make a hearty winter soup gathered up on a vintage table. The Instagram crowd can have selfie fun here, and more mature customers will appreciate the aesthetic simplicity of this uncluttered, human-scale shopping experience.

For your retail clients, it won’t break the bank to become more visually appealing. Design cues are everywhere!

Share these suggestions with a worthy client:

Basic cleanliness is the starting point

This is an old survey, but I think we’re safe to say that at least 45 percent of retail customers are still put off by dirty premises — especially restrooms. Janitorial duties are already built into the budget of most businesses and only need to be accomplished properly. I continuously notice how many reviewers proclaim the word “clean” when a business deserves it.

Inspiration is affordable

Whatever employees are already being paid is the cost of engaging them to lend their creativity to creating merchandise displays that draw attention and/or solve problems. My hearty winter soup example is one idea (complete with boxed broth, pasta, veggies, bowls, and cookware).

For your retail client? It might be everything a consumer needs to recover from a cold (medicine, citrus fruit, electric blanket, herbal tea, tissue, a paperback, a sympathetic stuffed animal, etc.). Or everything one needs to winterize a car, take a trip to a beach, build a beautiful window box, or pamper a pet. Retailers can inexpensively encourage the hidden artistic talents in staff.

Feeling stuck? The Internet is full of free retail display tips, design magazines cost a few bucks, and your clients’ cable bills already cover a subscription to channels like HGTV and the DIY network that trade on style. A client who knows that interior designers are all using grey-and-white palettes and that one TV ad after another features women wearing denim blue with aspen yellow right now is well on their way to catching customers’ eyes.

Aspiring artists live near your client and need work

The national average cost to have a large wall mural professionally painted is about $8,000, with much less expensive options available. Some retailers even hold contests surrounding logo design, and an artist near your client may work quite inexpensively if they are trying to build up their portfolio. I can’t predict how long the Instagram mural trend will last, but wall art has been a crowd-pleaser since Paleolithic times. Any shopper who stops to snap a photo of themselves has been brought in close proximity to your front door.

I pulled this word cloud out of the reviews of the little grocery store:

While your clients’ industries and aesthetics will vary, tell them they can aim for a similar, positive response from at least 49 percent of their customers with a little more care put into the shopping environment.

2) The store offers additional services beyond the sale of products

19–40 percent of survey respondents are influenced by value-adds. Doubtless, you’ve seen the TV commercials in which banks double as coffee houses to appeal to the young, and small hardware chains emphasize staff expertise over loneliness in a warehouse. That’s what this is all about, and it can be done at a smaller scale, without overly-strapping your retail clients.

At the market near me, reviews like this are coming in:

The market has worked out a very economic arrangement with a massage therapist, who can build up their clientele out of the deal, so it’s a win for everybody.

For your retail clients, sharing these examples could inspire appealing added services:

A small pet food chain is offering health consults in addition to selling merchandise.

Even small clothing boutiques can provide personal styling sessions.

I know of a particular auto parts store where salespeople show you how to change windshield wipers and headlight bulbs for free and it brings our household back almost every time..

It’s common for shops like toy stores to have kids’ birthday clubs, but sophisticated businesses offer loyalty programs, too

I wrote about offering shipping last year as an additional service with self-evident value in this age of convenience.

The cost of these efforts is either the salary of an employee, nominal or free.

3) The store hosts local events

20–36 percent of customers feel the appeal of retailers becoming destinations for things to learn and do. Coincidentally, this corresponds with two of the tasks Google dubbed micro-moments a couple of years back, and while not everyone loves that terminology, we can at least agree that large numbers of people use the Internet to discover local resources.

At the market near me, they’re doing open-mic readings, and this is a trend in many cities to which Google Calendar attests:

For your clients, the last two words of that event description are key. When there’s a local wish to build community, retail businesses can lend the space and the stage. This can look like:

Any type of class, like these ones that teach how to operate an appliance or machinery, how to re-skill at something like wilderness survival, or how to cook/make things.

Any type of event, like the open mic night I’ve cited, above, or celebrations, or appearances by well-known locals such as authors, or ongoing club meetups.

Any type of special appeal, like this recycling deal gifting participants $20 off new jeans if they donate their old ones, or housing a drop-off point for light bulbs, batteries or charitable giving, or hosting the kick-off of a neighborhood cleanup with some added benefit to participants like a breakfast or discount.

Again, costs here can be quite modest and you’ll be bringing the community together under the banner of your business.

Putting it in writing

The last item on the budget for any of these ventures is whatever it costs to publicize it. For sure, your client will want:

A homepage announcement and/or one or more blog posts

Google Posts, Q&A, photos and related features

Social mentions

If the concept is large enough (or the community is small) some outreach to local news in hopes of a write-up and inclusion of local/social calendars

Link building would be great if the client can afford a reasonable investment in your services, where necessary

And, of course, be sure your client’s local business listings are accurate so that newcomers aren’t getting lost on their way to finding the cool new offering

Getting the word out about events, features, and other desirable attributes don’t have to be exorbitant, but it will put the finishing touch on ensuring a community knows the business is ready to offer the desired experience.

Seeing opportunity

Sometimes, you’ll find yourself in a client meeting and things will be a bit flat. Maybe the client has been disengaged from your contract lately, or sales have been leveling out for lack of new ideas. That’s the perfect time to put something fresh on the table, demonstrating that you’re thinking about the client’s whole picture beyond CTR and citations.

One thing that I find to be an inspiring practice for agencies is to do an audit of competitors’ reviews looking for “holes” In many communities, shopping is really dull and reviews reflect that, with few shoppers feeling genuinely excited by a particular vertical’s local offerings. Your client could be the one to change that, with a little extra attention from you.

Every possibility won’t be the perfect match for every business, but if you can help the company see a new opportunity, the few minutes spent brainstorming could benefit you both.
