Congrats to unit swap Kohane and An for both getting a new song on the playlist and also apologies for all the doomed toxic yuri I'm gonna dump on y'all (is not sorry)
#rat rambles#unit swap au#sekai posting#girlies when their self esteem relies entirely on eachother in a way that leads to both sides enabling eachother horrifically#also they're both depressed and are desperately clinging to the small momentary bouts of serotonin they give each other#with was ofc incredibly unstable and it didnt take long for it to fall apart and for kohane to start spiraling pretty bad#this mostly started after an first recruited touya but it rly started going bad once an started becoming more distant from the group#they two became a lot more distant after their intial story and they both hate it so much#but kohane manages to find an actual healthy friendship in akito while an continues to spiral for a while longer#not because the others arent trying to be there for her but because of that actually (along with a whole other host of issues)#eventually the others finally noticed how much worse an has been doing too late as they find out no one has seen her for a day or two#its ok they find her but yeah she did have a bit of a breakdown#she and kohane post inital story just generally have this air of discomfort and regret as they both wish they could just go back to before#neither of them are at the time properly aware that they were in an incredibly unhealthy relationship#its the kind of thing they only notice like a year later when theyre doing a bit better and have the hindsight to go oh god jesus christ#but yeah of everyone in the group it takes them the longest to become like. real friends.#they still spend a lot of time together but thats mostly for group work and group hang outs#they both were just. so burnt out from everything. so burnt out from eachother.

A LITTLE TREAT ~ Sanji
Tumblr media
LA!Sanji x fem baker!reader
warnings: fluff, smut, oral (f!receiving)
Nattie speaks: Smash
Tumblr media Tumblr media
THE TWO OF YOU CROWDED THE small kitchen with both yourselves and the large amount of utensil splayed out on the counter. You crouched under his arm as he sizzled a dish on the stove, hurryingly whisking together the mix within your bowl. You’re apron was stained with flower, egg yolk, and god knows what.
“I can tell from here that the only pretty thing is definitely you and not whatever you have going on there.” Sanji teased, eyes staring at the mixture while you rolled your eyes. Sprinkling a a generous amount of cinnamon before reaching for the molding pan.
“And I can smell that only good thing is neither you nor that food, if that’s what you dare to call it.” You replied as your lips quirked up in a smirk, pouring the contents of the bowl into the metal pan.
“My, that hurt, love.” The blonde replied, watching you concentrate your eyes on pouring the perfect amount into each paper-covered cup.
“Good.” You mumbled back, ushering him away from the stove to delicately place the pan into the preheated oven. “Maybe you’ll learn to keep that beautiful mouth shut, and find better uses for it.” You gave him a sly winked, moving past him swiftly to start up a fresh batch of frosting.
“Wouldn’t you like to know what I could do this mouth.” Sanji replied nonchalantly, acting as if his dick totally didn’t strain against his pants and a faint tint of red appeared on his face.
You threw him a sweet smile, showcasing the pearly canines while you poured milk into the bowl. You paused, looking around in a slight panic. Where the hell was the vanilla extract? You pinched yourself for forgetting it, you could’ve sworn that you had everything you need already prepped for you to use. Without a second to waste you bent down, opening the cupboard to find a mess of seasonings and ingredients mixed together. You sighed, digging through till your hands caught the dark bottle with a vanilla orchid stuck onto the label. You stood up, catching the eye of Sanji who’d gone unusually quiet, not snarky remark about you being unprepared.
That was because he’d gotten a full view of your eyes the second you bent over before him, revealing what was under that skirt of yours. He nearly burned his food if you hadn’t thrown him a look over your shoulder. After a few more flirty insults thrown at eachother, the food was done. You called Nami into the kitchen as the two of you slid the your creations in front of her. Sanji went on a rant about the meal and how the ingredients in it were like no other, compared to you cinnamon and vanilla cupcake.
The orange haired girl stared at the two plates, unimpressed, and that’s what made the competition so fun. Nami was the only person on the crew who would give a straight answer without a bias. Luffy and Usopp were far too kind to ever admit which one they liked more, constantly reassuring that both were just as delicious.
Zoro had a something against Sanji, their bickering aggressive and annoying whenever they were within the same proximity as each other. You both knew that the moss-head, as Sanji liked to say, was against anything he ever did. If there was a delicious, four course meal offered to him by Sanji, and you presented him with a burnt cheesecake, he’d chose your pastry just to spite the French man.
“Go ahead, take the first bite.” Sanji offered a fork to the girl as she took it and stabbed it into the food, swiping up into her mouth and chewing it with a straight face. She hummed softly, nodding in approval as she set the fork down, swallowing and savory the taste. Then, she picked up the warm cupcake, decorated beautifully with soft and puffy frosting with gold accents. It was fluffy, it golden brown color inviting, and the taste was just as satisfying as it’s looks. Nami licked the frosting that smudged on her lip, let out another hum with a slight smile.
“Well?” You were the first to speak up, leaning on the counter slightly with awaiting eyes. “Who’s did you like?”
“Well, for starters, Sanji’s plate was a meal, something to satisfy a hungry stomach.” Nami commented, making the blonde on your left smirk proudly. “Yours was a nice balance of sweetness and warmth, something to cure a sweet temptation.” The girl placed her hands on her lap, “I liked yours better.”
You smiled widely, bouncing up with a shout as the man next to you sighed, turning away before you could shove it in his face. Nami left the kitchen, cupcake in hand and chuckling at your childish antics. The afternoon ended in torturous teasing from your end while Sanji was left to clean up the whole kitchen, leaving you to relax, watching as he washed the variety of pans.
“Don’t use so much force, it scratches the metal.” You spoke, watching the slightly irritated man scrub away at the grease.
“I’ve work as a chore boy in one of the finest restaurants in the east blue, I know what I’m doing.” Sanji quipped back, making you roll your eyes and stand from the small stool.
“Still bitter, Sanji?” You giggled, bumping your hip into his lightly, “Don’t be such a sore loser.”
“I should’ve won.” He muttered, placing a freshly washed plate atop of the growing pile with a clank. He shut off the running water, drying his hands on a nearby rag, “You got lucky.”
“Admit it, hon, my sweet treats are the greatest things you’ve ever tasted.” You leaned against the counter, one hand firmly planted on your hip. “Or you won’t hear the end of it from me.”
Sanji glanced over his shoulder, walking over to slowly, a smirk slowly lifting onto his lips. “I’ve never even tasted you so called sweet treats, love, why would I spit out lies?” He face so close to your that his breath fanned over your features.
You hummed, feigning a sad frown. “Such a shame, don’t you wanna have a taste of what I got to offer?”
In a dizzying, swift motion, he gripped your waste, harshly planting your ass onto the wooden countertop. He sank down to his knees, creasing the fancy shoes he trudge around the kitchen in, hands teasingly rubbing up and down your thighs. He planted soft pecks from you knee, slowly rising till his lips met the bottom of your skirt. He looked up at you, you’d gone completely silent, just watching with wide eyes and heavy breaths. Without even speaking you lifted your hips, bunching up the skirt to your stomach so it revealed everything.
He squeezed the flesh on your thighs, feeling his mouth water as you leaned back, shaky hands keeping up your body up while you legs spread themselves open. Fuzzy thoughts taking over you. Sanji wanted to move slowly, he was a man of romance after all, he wanted every touch to be meaningful, but fuck, with the way your pussy was displayed, dripping in your arousal and practically inviting him in. He couldn’t hold back, his hands tightly gripped your thighs, assuring that you’d have no way to escape him, even if you were crying from the pleasure.
His tongue expertly lapped up your juices while he nose simultaneously nudge your clit, creating a pleasurable combination. Your back fell done to lay against the wood, free hands now flying to twist themselves into his blonde locks. Your hips jerked and squirmed with each flick against the sensitive pearl, legs going a bit numb from how tight he held them. There would definitely be noticeable marks after he was done, but your mind focused more on what occurred in that moment. How he tongued your cunt repeatedly, moaning softly with each tug of his hair.
Your back arch off the counter, mouth opening widely as you whimpered out, “Don’t stop, please, please.” Your eyes squeezed shut, body stilling for a moment before your hips twitched, an overwhelming feeling washing over you. The tightly wound coil snapped as soon as he began to suck on your clit. “Fuck, Sanji.” You moaned out, subconsciously pressing his face closer then it already was, riding out your high on his nose.
It was such a gut felt orgasm that tears pricked the corner of your eyes, choking back a yelp when he continued his expert tongue work. You’d felt the overstimulation kick in, hands pushing his head away as pathetic squeaks escaped your mouth. He left two more kisses right on your clit, lifting his head to reveal the absolute mess you’d made on the freshly wiped down counter and on his face. A mixture of your slick wetness and cum dripped down his chin, a cunning smirk on his lips.
He lifted you off your back by your hand, making your floppy body meet his hard chest. He lifted your head, forcing you to meet his intoxicating gaze. “I admit it.” He planted a sweet kiss on your lips, “Your sweet treat is the best I’ve ever had, love.”
Tumblr media
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
This man is every possible green flag imaginable. I must have him.

Literally me and Sanji (real, not clickbait, not edited)

Just like the previous one; the hcs might seem bland and repetitive, in general I see 90% of the genshin men being polite and mostly calm so I did my best to make it more dramatic :3
Part 1 [Mondstadt, Liyue and Half of Inazume]
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
A hiss erupts from your throat as you quickly withdrew your hand from the fire.
Your singed hands trembled, examining the dark spots that had littered across your palms and even your knuckles and fingers. You clicked your tongue, regretting the decisions to cook without your gloves. If only they weren't torn from that expedition two days ago... you should really get new ones.
You hear the door open... "[Name]?"
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
Inazuma
Kaedehara Kazuha
Side note i forgor to do his part so im editing this in lol (P.s i'm not following the whole 'The dead vision of Tomo burnt his hand' theory since I saw no confirmation about it)
Kazuha was resting on your rooftop, sharpening his blade after a long fight on the way to your home. He kept a close ear to your voice inside the house, a smile on his face as he heard your humming. But it drops into a surprised frown when he heard the sound of you hissing in pain.
He drops from the roof, landing on his feet as he enters your house and makes a beeline straight for the kitchen towards you by the time you managed to put out the fire that engulfed your hand. He calmly takes you aside and examines the injury, he's been on the road long enough to take care of basic wounds like cuts, splinters, and of course; Burns.
While having you sit next to him, he gently and carefully treats your wound, whispering sweet nothings in your ear as his featherlight touches brushed against the numb skin of your hand. Once he bandages your hand, he suggests taking a break before you continue cooking, explaining that it would help put both your mind and his at ease if you both just bask in eachother's presence for a little while.
Kazuha's arms were wrapped around your waist, his face buried into your shoulder, snow white hair tickling your cheeks and neck. He relaxes at your scent and warmth, as though he hadn't felt such tranquility during the last few days of his previous journey. Something about you just puts him into such state; Your voice? Your smile? Your heart? No— It was everything about you that made him smitten.
"A flame burns within the presence of a silent moon. Illuminating the surrounding area. Soothing in its warm embrace... You ought to be careful if you aren't using your glove next time, would you like to borrow my spare ones? Ease your worries, they're heat resistant and won't wear down so easily, I have plenty and know where to go for more. Think of it from a different perspective; Instead of worrying that you're stealing something valuable for me... think of it as a part of me that will stay with you until I return home once more."
Shikanoin Heizou
Help i'm running out of hcs i'm sorry Heizou my husband pls help
Heizou wastes no time in dragging you away from the stove and to your bedroom, making you sit down as he treats your wounds.
He reprimands you a little for your reckless decision, but soon peppers you with kisses just to cheer you up. Especially if you get a little pouty when he scolds you. As cute as your pout is, he's removing it with his own kiss until you succumb to his affection. Your his [S/O] it's his job to smother you with his affection, and Celestia above knows just how much he wants you to feel his love for you every second of the day.
Spoons you when he's done tending to your wounds, arms wrapped around your waist and chest pressed against your back, chin resting on top of your head. Heizou loves the feeling of your body pressed up against his, it feels so comforting to have you in his arms, your skin against his. It puts him through a state of ease and satisfaction that not even sucessfully solving the hardest case known to mankind would bring. You have him wrapped around your pretty little fingers.
The both of you just chatting about random topics, the other listening attentively— occasional banters here and there. But if you're hungry, he begrudgingly allows you to continue cooking— under his supervision. He keeps a close eye on you, he won't let the smallest detail go unnoticed if it's for your safety and comfort. He'll cling onto you whether you like it or not, especially if you're doing something that requires strength or fire.
"Hands up now, my dear partner. Here, it's easier and safer for me to light the stove instead... *Chuckles* Stop complaining, sweetheart— just because it's more convenient to use your Pyro vision, doesn't mean you'll end up setting your hand in flames again. And if you do... I won't throw you into custody for something stupid. But— I will be nagging you endlessly. You would prefer your boyfriend's sweet and loving kisses over endless yapping, would you not?... Now, come here~"
Thoma
*Mom mode activate*
Berates you for being reckless instead of calling for his aid, but that doesn't stop him from tending to your wounds... neither does it stop him from lecturing you.
He offers to switch jobs with you, leaving you to do something else that doesn't require much strength or your Pyro vision— such as cleaning the windows on the lower floor of the Kamisato estate, or folding the laundry.
Or, if you're an official (E.g. A Kamisato sibling or relative), he'll have you sit aside while he does the cooking and forbids you to do anything.
He'll invite the Kamisato siblings over to join you both for lunch, even play that weird hotpot game— to which Thoma somehow won. As expected.
Of course, he gets sick due to one of the Kamisato siblings putting a bizarre ingredient inside— leading you to help Thoma back to his room and onto his bed.
He then says that his stomachache will feel better with a cuddle... of course, he was lying, but you have no say in it because you'll always end up cuddling him in bed one way or another. A little white lie doesn't hurt now, would it?
"Don't worry about me, usually these hotpot games always end with me nearly throwing up... but it's fine if I have you here with me. Funny, it seems like you're the one cheering me up instead of the other way around. How's your hand holding up? Want me to pepper it with kiss? Oh, who am I kidding— i'm going to do that either way. Now... your hand, please, my dear?"
Sumeru
Alhaitham
Of course he's gonna shit talk u, but the most he'll do is call u and idiot— in a fancy way~
He's not really happy about getting up and treating your wounds when he has work to do, reprimanding you for using your vision without your glove. But, if it's for you— he'll push aside his attitude to tend to your needs... if you have a valid excuse for said needs, that is.
Hands you some mora and tells you to go buy some gloves. But once you're gone, he began looking over at the dish you were trying to make— and begins continuing the dish you were making, wanting to finish it for you. Though, he might alter the flavouring to his liking because he wants it to taste good to him as well. Of course, he'll try to make it close to what you were making. Key word; Try.
Once you're back, he has you spoon feed him for not only using his mora but also to bother his personal time. It might seem like he's being a jerk, but... he stole Kaveh's keys on purpose and locked him out for a reason— to have some time together with you.
It might seem like a silly and an inconvenient way to spend time together alone with you. But with him being the acting Grand Sage and all those nosy scholars constantly trying to pry on in on his business... he truly values you and wants to spend some time with you in any way possible. Even the dumbest ways. After all; His personal time also includes having your affection.
"...Is there something on my face? I can clearly see you're pouting... I assume it's because you keep feeding me bites but not tasting the dish yourself? I never remotely hinted in my demand that you had to feed me the whole dish without having a taste of it for yourself, this was meant to be created by your own hands... had you not become so reckless in the kitchen. Hand me the spoon, I promise I didn't make it taste as bland as you trying to make it before."
Cyno
"You burned yourself? Well... that's what you get for... being too hot... Heh... Heh heh."
Aside from that not-so-flattering pun, he'll help you treat your wounds quickly but efficiently... but quickly drags you into a game of TCG at Lambad's Tavern. You're his [S/O], you're legally obliged to say yes without objection. If he loses, he tells another joke. If you win, you get a kiss on the cheek.
He'll let you order your favorites, occasionally spoon feeds you— as a distraction to sneak a peek at your support cards. As your boyfriend, the both of you are allowed to play dirty against eachother. Anyone else, he would've punted to the ground if they dared steal a peak at his dices.
All jokes aside (Pun half-intended), he did it to not only have fun with you, but also to make you forget about that little humiliating experience. Because at the end of the day— you'll find yourself always in Cyno's strong and protective arms as he hugs you from behind, his nose pressed against the back of your neck as you both rest on his bed.
"Feeling better, my love? I apologize for dragging you around all day just because you burnt your hand a little, but it was worth it in the end, no? I enjoy spending time and having fun with you... You could say I— *Bonk* ow. I hadn't even thought of a pun yet, you didn't have to be so... fiery. Heh. Heh heh."
Kaveh
help im running out of ideas and Kaveh's still locked outside lol
Kaveh sighs upon hearing from Alhaitham when you burned your hand in their kitchen, though he pins the blame on Alhaitham for not looking after you or helping you while he was gone. Alhaitham only replies that he wasn't your babysitter and that you're a grown adult.
He walks in to see you treating your wounds, frowning at the sight of your bandaged hand and sighed when you explained yourself. "You shouldn't use your vision so recklessly like that, darling... I'll buy you a new glove... Don't worry about me, I know a friend that can make gloves at a cheap price... or a cheap favor."
Has you sitting down on his bed and forced Alhaitham to go cook, who probably went out to buy something from the tavern for the two of you. At least you two were alone now.
Cuddles you on bed, big spoon or little spoon, it's up to your preferences. Halfway through, he'll pick up a marker and asks what you would want him to draw in your bandage, just to make you feel better.
"There we go, is this what you envisioned; a small [Favorite Animal]? Yes, I made it look like you— endearing, cute and gorgeous! Hmm... wait, I think it's missing something, let me just... Tada! I drew myself next to you! I hope you don't see this as something childish, I just want you see that even if you were to hurt yourself, major or minor wounds, i'll be here with you, my darling."
Tighnari
Calls u a lummox
Tighnari obviously scolds you when he finds out you somehow burned yourself while he was out taking care of a Withering zone nearby. Could you be anymore clumsier? He can't leave you alone for a minute, can he?
After a minute of naming every single synonym related to 'Clumsy' and 'Reckless', he helps to treat your wound and asks Collei to keep you company as he leaves to fetch you both something to eat. She's quite close to you, you're like an older sibling for her and sees you as a mother figure in a way. Though, if you were upset from Tighnari's lecturing earlier, she's does her best to cheer you up.
Eventually, he comes back with your favorite [comfort food] and even brought Collei some pita pockets. She quickly leaves, not wanting to interrupt her master and his beloved's alone time.
Tighnari apologises a little for getting slightly carried away while scolding you, feeding you while he explains what shenanigans ensued in the withering zone. To both make you feel better and to help him relax, he allows you to pet his ear and tail. Sometimes, his cheeks were noticeably a faint pink colour if you manage to scratch a certain spot behind his ears— to which he'll try to use his tail and gently nudge your hand away to avoid embarrassing himself.
"Ow! Is that how you handle stray dogs that wander in the streets of Sumeru City? You pluck their ears like it's a sweet flower?... *Sighs* It's fine, I know it's only an accident. Plus, my ears were hit by a Winged Cyroshroom when I was clearing a Withering zone, it's sensitive and cold... Hm? Oh, no, you can keep touching it, i'm certainly not going to stop you at all. Your hands feel warm and nice. Your carresses calms me down... as long as you don't pull on my ear or tail too hard."
Wanderer ([W/N]= Wanderer's name; It can be Scaramouche, Kunikuzushi, Wanderer or your own desired name for him!)
"...How a vision bearer who has already mastered her own powers become so clumsy as to have it turn against her is far beyond me." "(W/N)—"
Nahida happened to be visiting you today with [W/N], who was planning to ask if you were free and wanted to accompany him to an underground ruin in the desert— but that plan was quickly abandoned upon seeing the burn marks on your hand.
Nahida took initiative to help tend to your wounds, her tiny little fingers gently applied a cooling ointment on your burn marks while [W/N] had you sitting on his lap, his arms wrapped around your waist. He held your free hand, thumb gently brushing against your knuckles in an affectionate manner. He's oddly... affectionate and caring today, even though he wasn't speaking as much, only basking in your presence as he holds you. Up until Buer asks if you had any gauze that she could use.
As soon as the Dendro Archon left, [W/N]'s face contorted to an expression of unamusement, a brow raised and the corner of his lips tugging downwards. He scoffs, playing with your fingers as he starts to slander you with insults, rubbing salt into your wounds. But you're used to it by now and you don't back down so easily.
By the time Nahida returns, she stands at the doorway, wearing a look of utter confusion as she watches [W/N] trying to hold you still on his lap. His arms remained wrapped tightly around your waist, barking at you to stop squirming and let him hold you while you whine and hiss about his haircut. She quietly backs away, leaving the roll of gauze outside your room for you.
"Your vision speaks for your attitude; Fiery and a complete hazard wherever you go!... I'm wasting my precious time to come over and coddle you like an infant, not to say that I hate it... I mildly dislike it because you're more reckless than a boar!... *Sighs* Now, do you want me to waste my breath as well arguing with you, or are you going to relax and let me hold you?... Do us both a favor and come here, I need it just as much as you do..."
Fontaine
Freminet
Idk what to write for Fremi. So I made him suffer for like 6 lines or smth lol
Upon seeing you holding your hand, hissing while glaring at the black marks on your hand, he rushes over to check on you. He was soaking wet to the bone however, having came back from a diving mission in search for some materials deep in the sea. Drops of water splattered across your face and clothes, now you feel oily and wet.
He frantically apologises, picking up a cloth nearby and lightly wiping your face clean... unfortunately, you already used that cloth to wipe some excess flour. Now, your face is sticky.
To make things worse, he tries to wipe it away with his bare hands that were still wet, only smudging both your face and his fingers. It's at this point, you felt less pain from your burn, and giggling more at his frantic attempts to help you. It's ticklish too.
In the end, you ushered the blonde to change as you patched yourself up, then inviting him for a cuddling as you can clearly see embarrasment written all over his face that you're comforting him instead of the other way around... But he's certainly not complaining. It feels comfortable being in your arms as you played with his hair. Pers resting by your side.
"Thank you, it's... I guess today isn't really my lucky day... Ah, th-there's no need to be concerned of me, i've encountered a few minor setbacks while I was diving near some shallow waters. A few treasure horders hindered me when I was trying to transport back the materials, A few bruises and cuts, but that's alright. Especially... n-now that i'm with you..."
Lyney
Slight 'animal abuse', it's just live fish and putting it out of it's misery dw
Helps treats your wounds, but takes out his half-capelet (Yes I googled what it's called) and wraps it firmly around your burnt hand, adding the excuse that if he was busy performing, a part of him would still be with you and helping you to heal.
After making sure your hand was alright, he'll help you cook whatever it was you were originally making, only he takes care of anything involving heat. He's the one with gloves
Half-way through, you find out that you've ran out of salmon. Lyney, wanting to try a new magic trick he had been practising and also wanting your attention all on him, called you over with an empty bowl in hand. He filled the bowl with cold water, then placed a large cloth over it and asks you to keep an eye on the bowl.
A few seconds later, he swiftly pulls the cloth away, showing a large, fresh salmon resting in the bowl of water with a few seaweed wrapped around it's body. At first, you were going to have him an applause... until you realize the fish is still alive. And aggresive.
It leaps at you, smacking it's powerful tail against your face, then jumping over to Lyney and accidentally slipping into his mouth. He gags and frantically spits it out, the fish landing on the floor and flailing around violently. It only calmed down when you managed to grab it and put it out of it's misery with a swift and clean cut.
Now, you and Lyney were covered in water and seaweed. He was trying to make sure you were alright, hoping his small accident hadn't hurt you too much or left a bruise... he tried to talk, until he realized he had a mouth full of seaweed.
"I have scales and seaweed in my mouth... Blegh! Are you alright, sweetheart?— Oh, don't worry about me, i've fought things worse than a fish. *Chuckles, then grimaces* Oh... you've got a small bruise... i'm sorry, sweetheart. I... should've thought twice before using live fish, let alone bringing my magic tricks into the kitchen. Here, you go sit down, let me make it up to you and finish the dish. I don't want to risk accidentally make a live chicken appear next or something *Chuckles*."
Neuvillette
I ran out of ideas, but I love suffering <3
He was coming over to visit you during his break, a little tired as he bad been bombarded with a lot of work recently. He's glad he has you, simply being in your presence helps his mood, he can't help but smile a little when he hears your voice, or notice the faint smell of your scent lingering in the room.
So seeing you, looking irritated and upset, he chuckles as he helps tend to your wounds. Then, he invites you to his office, not because of some official business— he just wants to have lunch with you.
Despite the calm and quiet atmosphere between the two of you, Melusines and some of the Maison Gestion members frequently enter his office— looking for him and asking for his guidance on their work. Meanwhile, you sat at the other side of the table across of Neuvillette, quietly eating your [Dessert] with a strained expression if annoyance. But you can't do anything about it, it's Neuvillette's work after all.
He catches on quite quickly, chuckling while apologising as he can't really catch a break when in his office, but he's glad you're here nonetheless, your presence makes him feel as calm as water.
"Fret not, my dear, I assure you this will be the last one... I would like to cherish my time with you more. Here, have this glass of water, it is found exclusively in the depths of Erinnyes Forest, purified. The aftertaste is crisp and strong, yet, has a glacé like flavour once it touches the surface of your tongue. Savour it well, for it contains quite the rich taste when it settles."
Wriothesley
Jokes that u would be safer in the Fortress of Meropide instead of being in front of a stove
His little joke seemed ironic when both of you were currently in the said fortress, as you helping out with cooking meals for everyone, including your beloved, Wriothesley. Unfortunately for him, you were in the middle of making his food when you burnt both it and your hand.
Wriothesley escorts you to the infirmary, having Sigewinnie examine your wounds and tend to it while he sits next to you. He teases you by making back-handed compliments to your dish, stating that he couldn't wait to taste the new 'charcoal' spice you added, knowing the dish was burnt.
Of course, in the end, he still takes the failed dish and eats it right in front of your face without spitting it out. Despite the grimace on his face and the occasional eye twitch followed by the sound of his teeth grinding against the blackened, burnt bits— he smiles at you fondly, giving you a thumbs up and ruffling your hair.
Wriothesley would likely suffer a horrendous pain later on, but if it's for you; he'd do anything... except if shorten your sentence.
"Hey! Hey! Relax! I'm joking, the dish isn't completely burnt, I know that. I'm simply... discarding the singed areas of the food. With my mouth. Then, we can share the remains together!... I can tell by your face even you don't want to eat this. Very well then, i'll go [brew us a cup of tea/get your favorite drink]."
Snezhaya + Misc.
Childe
at this point ive officially ran out of ideas so im just copy and pasting the hcs :'>
You were tasked with creating a dish for one of the Harbingers, perhaps if you can salvage enough of the remains, your head wouldn't be pierced torched to bits like your current dish... Luckily for you, a certain ginger had snuck up behind you, wrapping his arms around your waist and asking what happened.
Tartaglia tends to your wounds, occasionally teasing you for being so nervous about the harbinger you were supposed to serve putting your head on their polearms. Of course, once he was done, he helps you to cook the dish so you wouldn't get into too much trouble. Your little secrets and failures are always safe with him.
He doesn't allow you to touch anything that requires heating or using any sharp equipment, skilled in combat as he is, he's quite skilled with kitchen weapons equipment too. In his eyes, anything can be a weapon if you know how to handle it.
The end result was... somewhat disappointing. But Tartaglia quotes it 'Somewhat passable' if he knows the harbinger he knows you're serving. He accompanies you, to keep you safe, knowing that harbinger doesn't have a single sane bone in her body. Luckily, she only dismissed you with a little wave after the taste, stating that it was fine. Once you both were alone, he ruffles your hair playfully and plants a kiss on your nose. No matter what hinders you in your task, you can always trust on your beloved to help remove any obstacles for you. You survived Arlecchino today... but now you're dealing with an overly affectionate Tartaglia. Not that you're complaining.
"See? I told you it was somewhat passable. Now... how's your hand, still numb? Sore? If your hand has fully healed... what say you treat me to your signature dish? As a form of repayment for helping you! *Chuckles* I'm only teasing, kitten... Come with me, let me go treat you to the finest dish in Snezhnaya instead! And no buts! I'd like to see your pretty smile again as your actual form of repayment!~"
Il Dottore
Slight TW (?) Somewhat, it's just a lil bit of blood
You were making something for the doctor to eat in his lab while he was busy, which also meant that you were using his equipment when he heard you burn your hand on accident with a hiss, to which he chuckles and suggests to not tinker with it too much.
Helps to treat your wounds, but in return asks for a small drop of your blood. After he extracts it, he sends you off to cook somewhere else as he decides to examine the cells in your blood. He's been wanting to try this one hypothesis he had in mind, but didn't have a willing subject. He won't make you go through what the others have gone through... he's too fond of you and your endearing behaviour.
Once you're back, you sat next to him to eat the dish you made, occasionally feeding him as you watched him work. It wasn't until you saw the small vial containing your blood and an unknown liquid did you see him inject it to something that looked like the equivalent of a dead rabbit. You flinched, seeing it's unmoving muscles suddenly twitch for a few seconds— before remaining still again. Dottore sighs, it's an improvement... perhaps a bigger dose of your blood was needed. But that's an experiment for another time, for now, he wraps his arms around your waist and pecks your cheek.
"Did I scare you sweetheart? My apologies, I thought I might have discovered a... breakthrough of sorts. Only for it to end in utter disappointment. No matter. How is your hand? Do you feel numb from the ointment I applied on your burns?... *Mumbles* Perhaps the heat may have altered your blood temperature, that could explain the mild effects when I combined it with— Hm? Oh, no, don't worry about it sweetheart. *Chuckles* How about we go for a walk? It feels a little stuffy in here."
Capitano
Imma just write a rlly short ones from here on out im getting lazy with researching these characters
Capitano decided to take a small break and left headquarters to check up on you when he heard your hiss of pain, he comes over and questions why you weren't wearing a glove while wasting no time in treating your little accident.
Once he was done, he brings you back to the Fatui headquarters and has one of the receuits in charge of cooking to make you your favorite dish. It's a bit of a pressure for them, considering you're the ever-righteous captain's [S/O]. Later on, he has you sitting on his lap in his office, one arm holding you close while the other arm was holding a map of Teyvat— explaining another expedition he was tasked to handle.
"Do you recall the last expedition I led back in Mondstadt? Well, my time will unfortunately be occupied for another number of days to come. Until then, however, may I ask you a favor?; I'd like to have your presence in my office as much as I can before the day of my departure. Of course, once I return, I will clear my schedule and have time for you alone... So you won't have to make such a measly little reckless mistake again. I'd like to see you in one piece and unscathed when I return."
Pantalone
slight yandere fatui baizhu :>
He brings you to the infirmary in the Fatui Headquarters, cooing softly as he asks if you're feeling alright and if you were embarrassed for nearly burning your hand off.
Pantalone's wealth met no ends, so he spends a not-so-healthy sum for a meal made by the most talented chef in Snezhnaya. If any of the dishes made were to not meet his standards, you can expect that the chef would likely be sued with a falsified lawsuit, you would be surprised of what the Fatui are capable of.
Try to decline his offer as you might, whether it's because you couldn't finish such a huge feast or you didn't want to him to burn off such a large part of his wealth, he simply brushed you off and states that his Mora is also considered your Mora. That innocent smile of his only asks you don't ask any more questions and let him love you. Treat you like the goddess you truly are.
"Oh, there's no need to make such ludicrous assumptions, i'm merely treating my beloved queen to a feast that she deserves. The cost has been covered, no need to fret, just enjoy. No one will disturb us, even if they will... They wouldn't dare~"
Pulcillena
Why
Seeing you burn yourself because you didn't have a glove, he helps to treat your wound and later leaves to commision a new set of gloves for you— one that wouldn't be easily destroyed like your previous ones.
Once he returns with both your new pair of gloves and a meal for you, he only asks that you spend more time with him as a form of repayment. Being a Fatui harbinger takes up quite a lot of time, and Pulcillena worries that he may be neglecting you.
Some might say he was being overprotective and overbearing, but in reality, all he wants is to bask in your presence and company.
"Come, my beloved— I have plenty of time to spare, I don't require a second thought to choose what I spend my free time on. What say we do a bit of sightseeing? I know somewhere scenic will leave you completely speechless."
Pierro
Wtf do I even write for this guy I know nothing abt him
Pierro was dropping by to see if you would like to spend some quality time together, seeing as he was finally able to clear a good chunk of his schedule to come and see you. Originally, he was planning to bring you somewhere secluded and quiet, just the two of you. But he decides to postpone that for a little while upon seeing your hand in flames.
He calmly puts out the fire and helps to treat your wound, offering to help aid you with your cooking. Though, he states that he'll mostly be at the side and only help when the situation is dire, he'll allow you to handle the rest of the cooking yourself.
Although, you eventually repeated the same mistake again; Using your Pyro vision and accidentally engulfing your hand in flames. He puts it out swiftly before any severe damage was done to your hand again, a damp cloth was used to help with the burn as he reassures you that you were alright and that it was just a simple mistakes.
"It seems you still have yet to learn from your mistakes. No need for apologies, you were only distracted by something unforeseeable, but it won't have any consequences so as long as I am here to keep you under my supervision and my protection— you'll always be unscathed when you're with me, my beloved."
Dainsleif
This is Post-Abyss twin journey where he finished his journey with Aether and parted from him, he occasionally comes back to u
On the way to your abode, he had to go through numerous obstacles on the path, and they weren't taking his presence too kindly, let alone be any less aggresive than they should be. Nonethless, he clears them in the end, just in case you would be taking the same path. So when he finally arrives to see you with your hand in flames, he was covered in various scratches and bruises, probably a fractured leg too.
Dainsleif easily puts out the small fire that nearly engulfed your hand using a damp cloth and treats your wounds. As much as you tried to take care of his own wounds, he states that he was alright and that he had suffered far worse fate in compared to a few measly little hits that took him off guard.
Eventually, he concedes and allows you to treat his wounds, you've helped patched him up a few times when he was on the road so you one a few precautionary steps to take and how to handle certain injuries.
As a fair exchange, he helps to finish the dish you made, he knew basic cooking... but he wasn't an expert. Due to a mishap while using the stove, he ends up in the same predicament as you; his hand englufed in tiny flames. Thankfully, you managed to frantically put out the fire in time with the same cloth, and he was still wearing his glove that minimised the damage done to his skin.
"...I'm fine, there's nothing to worry, i've surffered much worse than a little burn. It'll cause nothing more than slight discomfort at most, i'll live through it. It won't affect my performance—... You want me to take a rest? I'm unscathed, dear. This isn't a concerning matter, it doesn't add to my previous injuries...*Sigh* Alright, if that's a command from you, I won't deviate."
Aether
This is MC Aether and not Abyss Twin Aether btw so Paimon exists bc I love her she's my little bby. But he's not mute.
He was in the middle of setting up your sleeping bags when he heard you burning your hand. He immediately drops everything and checks up on you, helping to treat your wound with the limited supplies you both had.
He decides to help you with cooking— until he realizes you're had accidentally burnt off half the recipe. But he brushes it off, stating that you both had made plenty of good dishes before, what's so hard about—
Ingredients scattered across the grassy field beneath you, stew stains seeping into the soil of the ground, you watch as Aether frantically puts out the fire using his Hydro powers. The dish was worse than when you made it, but surely a bit of improvisation wouldn't hurt, he's been on the road for quite some time so Aether know how to fix and use his creativity—
In the end, you watched as your blonde companion held a dish that was not only burnt, but also dry and practically dehydrated. The ingredients used had incorrect proportions and you swore you saw a large chunk of it deteriorated from using his Electro powers on accident. Despite your protests, he states that surely it wouldn't taste so bad—
It was horrible and he had to throw up while you and Paimon had to rub circles on his back, your tiny floating companion worried but also pretty upset that you both decided to make a dish without a proper recipe instead of something simple to cook or something you've made before. She states that even she would've thought twice on making a different dish instead of trying to fix the already ruined one.
"My bad, but i'm fine, i'm fine... Eugh. Nothing I haven't handled before, i've honestly had much worse. How about we make a quick stop to Mondstadt's Good Hunter? It's not too far, we have some Mora to spare. We're better off just asking Sara for something to eat rather than risking another injury or throwing up in our sleep."

for better, for worse
idol chenle x fem reader
genre: angst, smut, fluff
warnings: cussing, mentions of sex, unprotected sex,
—————————————————————————
you and chenle have been fighting a lot lately, everything you say to eachother ends up in a argument. it’s a never ending saga of screaming, fighting, threatening to break up, making up, having sex, then fighting again and so on.you currently were staring at the clock on the wall as chenle was thrusting in and out of you, wishing was that it would be over soon.you love chenle and you love your sex life with him but recently it seemed like a sympathy card and nothing more.the two of you used to have so much chemistry, your sex was amazing, you two were so passionately in love, but now you both seemed burnt out.
chenle was chasing his orgasm, thrusts were becoming rushed and messy, headboard smashing against the wall, it seemed as if he was just eager to blow off steam rather than actually wanting to have sex with you.the two of you fought earlier due to chenle blowing you off again for work, you tried your best to be understanding of his job, you knew how much it consumes his life, but when he’s blowing you off every single day it’s really hard to justify it, selfishly you wanted him to focus on you more than work.when you brought it up to him he got defensive and started yelling, which caused you to get angry and the whole situation escalated very quick leading to screaming, cussing and slamming doors.
you looked at him and wondered if you two would ever go back to how you used to.once he finished he laid down back facing you not saying a word, the next thing you know you hear soft snores coming from him.you walked to the bathroom and turned the shower on, feeling a little sore from chenle taking out his anger on you.
as the water hit your back, you begin to sob, knowing the love of your life is slipping away was the worst feeling in the entire world. you wouldn’t blame him though, your relationship had become extremely toxic.a few moments of you crying you hear the bathroom door open.
“ i’m coming in i have to piss” you hear chenle say softly
you quickly get ahold of yourself “ go ahead ” you respond your voice shaking a little.silence fell between you two for a few moments until he speaks up.
“ it’s because of me right”
“ what”
“ your crying that hard over me… over us” you go silent again not knowing what to say, that’s when chenle steps in the shower fully clothed saying nothing, just grabbing you pulling you into a hug.you take a minute to process what’s happening you feel the man in your arms start to shake before hearing him wail, in all of the years you’ve been together you have never once seen him cry so hard.you both stand in the shower with the water running embracing eachother as you two sob.he finally looks up at you with red eyes and quivering lips
“ please don’t leave me” he cried into your shoulder
“ shhh baby everything’s going to be okay”
“ but it’s not, it’s not y/n and i don’t know how to fix it”
you both soak in this very vulnerable moment and decide to sit down and have a conversation when you were done.
“ first of all chenle i’m not leaving you, i don’t know where you got that from but when i promised you forever i meant it”
“ second of all, i think we need to go to couples therapy” you say to him. he just stared at you
“ i think it’ll help, really, a friend of mine recommended me a good therapist. i’m going to fight for us chenle and i’ll do whatever it takes”
“ me too, i’ll go if that’s what you think will help”
“ i really do babe, i think it’ll help a lot” that night you two were making some sort of progress even though it doesn’t mean much because you knew at some point you two would regress and go back to square one but you had a glimpse of hope this time.instead of spending the night at your friends place avoiding chenle which would usually happen around this time of night.you lay cuddled on the couch watching a movie, you can feel chenle shifting as if he was uncomfortable.you got up to get him some water, when you came back chenle was standing up looking a little frantic.you were confused until you saw the tent in his pants.
“ really lele” you roll your eyes
“ you can never keep it in your pants” you laugh to yourself.
“ i’m sorry babe it just happens, i’ll go take care of it in the bathroom i’ll be right back” he says at you frown at him.
“ i mean you could do that or i don’t know you have your turned on girlfriend standing right in front of you” you smirk,he walks over to you picking you up making his way to the bedroom.throwing you down on the bed, immediately smashing his lips onto yours, grinding his clothed dick onto you as you moan into his lips, driving him crazy.
“ fuck i cant take it anymore” he rips your shirt and shorts off, taking your under garments with it too, leaving you completely naked.kissing a trail down your body he lifts your hips up a little to make you comfortable as he licks a stripe down your pussy
“ oh my god chenle” you moan, he smiles at you before diving completely into your heat, sucking at your clit you arch your back, lacing your fingers into his hair he pulls you forward flicking his tongue back and forth.you feel your orgasm building up, “ babe i’m coming” you scream as you release all over his face.you lay there catching your breath, for the first time in a very long time you felt content in the bedroom, for the first time in months he actually made you finish.chenle takes one if your legs lifting it onto his shoulder as he places his other hand on your waist, thrusting into you “ oh my god babe you’re so wet for me” he says as your hands grip the bedsheets, he flips you around arching your back for him he slams into you again with no warning, earning screams from you.continuously hitting your g spot you feel yourself about to cum again
“ chenle im gonna cum” you cry
“ wait for a little longer babe i want to come together”chenle has you a squirming mess under him, he has to keep one hand on your lower back keeping you arched as the other one is on your waist.
“ lele i cant hold it anymore please” is you beg
“ be a good girl y/n, i’m almost there” squeezing your eyes shut he turns you around again
“ look at me baby i wanna see you when we cum” chenle takes both of your legs bending them into your chest as he thrusts as hard as he can,his trusts become sloppy as he lets low groans out of his mouth.
“ fuck baby you ready” he asks
“ yes yes please”
“ cum for me babygirl” he demands as you both finish at the same time.chenle collapses onto you, not taking himself out of you yet.
“ fuck baby that was so good” he whispers kissing your neck
“ that’s the best sex we’ve had in so long” you smile
“ i know love, we definitely needed that”taking himself out of you he cleans you up and joins you back in bed.
“ i love you so much sweet girl, i promise we will make it through this rough patch” he kisses your forehead.
“ i know we will lele, i love you too”
** a year later**
you and chenle did end up going to couples therapy and it has changed your relationship for the better.you two haven’t gotten into fights since, you are in the honeymoon stage all over again, and let’s just say you two can’t stay off of eachother, you feel like teenagers again.the romance has sparked in your relationship again and it has never felt better.
you were currently joining him on his europe leg of his tour. waking up next to your man every morning in a new place had been a dream come true.today you were in paris , chenle had soundcheck and dance practice but other than that you had the night to yourselves since his show wasn’t until tomorrow.you stayed in bed most of the day catching up on rest until you receive a text from your boyfriend telling you he made dinner reservations tonight and to dress fancy.
you quickly got up and started getting ready.a few hours later you were finally ready as chenle made his way to pick you up.he was dressed in a nice white button down shirt and black slack pants, it took everything in you not to jump his bones right then are there.
the night was beautiful, he rented out the rooftop of a very fancy restaurant looking out onto the Eiffel Tower which shimmered every so often and had music playing soft instrumentals.you were left speechless.chenle however seemed a little nervous and quieter than usual.
finishing up your dinner you looked to your boyfriend.
“ chenle this is amazing really, thank you so much”
“ you deserve everything and more my love” he kisses your hand. you smile at him as he falls quiet again.he clears his throat.
“ let’s go look at the view huh” he suggests. he walks with you hand in hand as he leads you over to the edge of the rooftop.standing under a beautiful arch with vines and fairy lights you look at the Eiffel Tower in awe.
“ it’s so beautiful chenle, i’m never going to forget this moment” you turn to him and notice he’s not beside you anymore.confused you turn around to find him kneeling down on one knee holding out a small box with a beautiful diamond ring in it.
you gasp covering your mouth with your hands as tears stream down your cheeks.
“ y/n i have loved you from the moment i met you, never in my lifetime have i experienced a love greater than yours, we’ve been through so much together, i know that we can face whatever the world throws at us as long as we are together, i love you more than words can describe you have my whole heart, you have changed my life and i will forever be so grateful, through good seasons and bad i will always be by your side, i can not wait for our future together. (your full name) will you marry me?”
“ yes a million times yes” you say without hesitation as he slides the ring onto your finger pulling you into a kiss. you wrap your arms around his neck embracing him tightly.
“ i know we already promised forever a long time ago but i thought a big shiny ring would be a nice touch” chenle jokes as he kisses you again.
“ i cant wait to spend the rest of my life with you zhong chenle.”

" you're so pretty, it hurts. "
pairing: carlos sainz jr. x reader
summary: carlos is laying on his head-- his eyes shut as he let's out small snores, but you just lay there, taking in his beauty and reminiscing all the special moments you've both shared with eachother.
a/n: very short?? but worth it ig. hope you enjoy the read. NOT PROOFREAD BTW
Tumblr media
you were mesmerized by carlos' beauty. how could someone be so pretty?, you'd wonder each time you saw him, you'd wonder how you could bag such a hansome man-- not to mention, a handsome man that competes in formula 1. you were only just a journalist who lost her way around, but then he, he helped you. you remember how he was so respectful, so gentle, and so damn sweet. he talked to you in such a fragile voice as if you'd break if he talked any louder, in such a venomous sweet voice. you think you fell inlove with him right then and there. you remember how he was nervously fumbling with his hands while asking for your number, he tried his best to not stutter, but he still did, not that you mind it though, you find it quite cute. and now here you are, with carlos laying his head on your chest and letting out slow snores that sent vibrations among your body, while you massaged his scalp, taking in his mesmerizing features. his doe-shaped eyes, plump lips that were coated with your lip balm that he attempted to steal, fluffy hair that you definitely need the routine of, his built biceps that hugged your sides, oh and whatnot. everything about him made him look godly. and what made him even more godly, was his behavior around you. he is so respectful of your boundaries, has the best humour, so fucking gentle, teasing and caring in just the right ratio that makes your mouth water. you remember he invited you over to his house for the first date, you remember it as clear as day-- when he almost accidentally burnt his kitchen down in an attempt to make gourmet spaghetti for you, he was still learning, but he tried, and that's what matters. you remember how even you were struggling to make the spaghetti but after a few youtube tutorials, you both were almost michelin star chefs. you remember how reluctant you were about revealing your relationship with carlos to the public, he didn't push you, but managed to make you feel reassured of the fact that everyone will love you, and if they don't, that's their problem, and he'd protect you from each and every threat. you were surprised at everyone's reaction when they learned about you and carlos-- some fans even predicted you both together? were you both that obvious? but either way, you're happy with the things turned out. you think you can find yourself falling for carlos in each lifetime.

Away From The Devil pt. III
Full Pedro Masterlist
Series Masterlist
Part IV
Series Warning: Minors Go Away I Will Kick You In The Forehead. I just don't want kiddos here. Yeah it’s all rewritten with the reader added in if ya don’t like it don’t read it. Reader is female and uses she/her pronouns. Reader is like 24, Joel is still 56 cause… hot. Anyway. Joel is finally a little nicer to reader. Cursing. Insight on Joel’s brain cause the bastard never speaks (whatever whatever I love him anyway). Joel reflects on Sarah’s mom (not fondly). Kinda flips to his pov for a sec whatever it’s fine. (Joel has a “revelation” but not really.)
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
You woke up the next morning to bubbling and an oddly fmailiar smell that had your stomach tingling a little at the memory of it. Coffee. The coffee in Silver Lake had run out pretty quickly, people desperate to stay warm once the power cut out guzzled it down like they hadn't had anything to drink in days, you remembered your mom giving you some to warm you up a few times before it had been drank.
Ellie was curled up in her sleeping bag, head hidden by the green cloth. Joel, of course, was making sure his things were packed and ready, probably so he could rush whoever woke up next, it seemed like a Joel thing to do.
When he noticed you were awake he paused for a second and cleared his throat before going over to the coffee maker. "You uh... you like coffee..?" He mumbled, looking at you out of the corner of his eye and holding up the lid of a thermos. "Only got the one thermos but uh... lid doubles as a cup so..."
“Um.. yeah that would be nice.” You sat up slowly and rubbed your eye. “Um… look about snapping at you last night-“ “you don’t have to apologize.” “I wasn’t- well I was but not really cause… you were kinda being a douche.” When he looked over at you with that same grumpy look you laughed softly.
“I get it though… you have to protect her.” Your eyes fell to the lump of sleeping bag. “… she’s special. I don’t know what it is but.. there’s just… something that makes you wanna stay by her.” You sighed. “So.. just letting you know.. I get it and I don’t intend to make shit harder for you. If you’d let me help is like to make it a little easier.”
Joel nodded a little and looked towards Ellie as he handed you the thermos lid filled almost to the top with coffee. “Yeah.. she is.” He sighed and took a sip from the thermos, slurping it loudly. After a moment Ellie groaned loudly and tugged the sleeping bag off her face to give Joel the harshest glare she could muster in her state. “Seriously?”
“Good now you’re both awake.” Joel stood up. “Get your shit packed. We gotta go.” You stood up and took a sip of your coffee before sitting it down on a nearby rock. “Ugh- you drink that shit too? It smells like burnt shit.” You looked back at Ellie and laughed. “How do you even know what burnt shit smells like?”
“Whatever. Smells disgusting.” Ellie made a face and rolled up her sleeping bag before shoving everything else into her bag. “You just wait.. you’ll be begging for a cup by the time you get seventeen. Especially in this economy.”
“There is no economy anymore.” Joel squinted at you as the three of you started walking, you rolled your eyes. “It was a joke, Joel.” “Do you know what an economy is?” “I can read!” You huffed and shook your head. “What’s with your dumbification of apocalypse kids?” “Dumbification?” “Yeah.” The two of you looked at eachother for a moment, squinting at eachother before Ellie cleared her throat loudly. “Anyway…” she pulled a map from her back pocket and looked at it.
“There’s a museum… right here I think. Some kinda famous museum or something. Can we go?” She looked at Joel, pointing to something on her map, which seemed to just be a map of where you were. “No.” “Oh come on, Joel!” Ellie groaned. “We gotta go!” “Why do we “gotta go”?” “Well- cause- it’s a museum, Joel! Come on! I’m just gonna keep asking until you say yes and then you’ll be grumpy all day again.”
You couldn’t help but smile as you listened to them interact with eachother. You were surprised they weren't actually father and daughter, they bickered like they were. "Well what about y/n I bet she wants to go." Ellie peered around Joel as you looked up with wide eyes. "Oh no. This isn't my argument." You laughed weakly. "Come on, you don't wanna go to a museum? See what kinda shit old people like Joel considered important?" Joel grunted at that and gave her a small glare.
You glanced at Joel, and then Ellie, back and forth between the two for a second before you sighed heavily. "I mean... a museum dooooes sound kinda fun." Ellie cheered as Joel groaned.
“That’s two to one old man.” Ellie grinned and held her fist out to you. You looked at her fist and laughed softly before bumping yours into hers. You looked back at Joel as the two of you walked ahead. “Anyone ever tell you that face makes you look constipated?” Ellie laughed. “It totally fucking does!” Joel grunted and squinted at you. You gave him an innocent smile before looking forward.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
When you got to the museum it was collapsed a little, not impossible to get into, not even a struggle at all, but the letters had rusted off the front of the museum so you couldn’t really see the name of it anymore. The doors had been taken down by the rubble so it was now just a gaping hole. As the three of you stepped in you pulled out your gun, looking around to try and see through the shadows.
“Woah..” Ellie mumbled as she looked around, smiling at the way the sun shone on the slightly flooded floor, kicking the water a bit, looking at you before smirking and kicking a little water your way. You looked over at her and let out a playful gasp when the water hit your leg. “Oh you wanna go to war?” You teased.
Ellie shrugged innocently and looked around like she hadn’t done anything. “Don’t know what you’re talking about.” She glanced at you before smiling and kicking water at you again, harder so it splashed you higher this time. “Oh it’s on.” You laughed before leaning down and scooping up a handful of water in your two hands. “Hey, now. It was just innocent fun.” Ellie took a step back.
“Oh is that all it was? Innocent fun?” Ellie nodded and raised her hands. “Mhm.” Ah, the deceit, the feigned forfeit. “Alright, alright. I believe you.” You smiled and dropped the water. “.. or maybe not.” You bent down and splashed her legs. She stepped back and looked up at you, the two of you laughing before you started splashing eachother with the water.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Joel watched the two of you off to the side, keeping a close eye around to make sure nothing crept up on you. When he pushed his grumpiness to the side, ignored the nagging overprotective urge that rang deep in his gut.. he could acknowledge your attractiveness.
Your smile helped, the usual haunted look in your eyes masked momentarily by the joy you were feeling. It was a beautiful smile. It had a feeling stirring in him that he hadn’t felt in almost thirty years, when his relationship with Sarah’s mom had been good and the love was actually there. Maybe that was part of the reason for his hostility, not that he had a problem with women.. just women he had feelings for.
He’d thought him and Sarah’s mom were going to last, but he couldn’t make her happy, and after Sarah had been born… she’d decided she wanted a divorce and Joel, again ignoring that feeling telling him to just let her go, tried to talk her into staying, giving promises to be a better husband, better father. She’d denied it all, saying she just wanted “out”, away. So, Joel agreed to the divorce and he was given full custody of Sarah… and then Sarah was-
“Hellooooo earth to Joel.” Ellie snapped her fingers in front of Joel’s face a couple times. When he looked up the two of you were almost completely soaked. “Wow. Have fun?” You and Ellie grinned, nodding and laughing a little. “Fuck yeah we did. Now we go that way.” Ellie pointed deeper into the museum and started walking.
You and Joel looked at eachother for a moment before he was going off after Ellie, leaving you there for just a second before you followed him, speeding up a bit to catch up with Ellie. You never really got the chance to act like a kid, sure you could play games at Silver Lake but.. there was always a tension there that made it impossible to be comfortable. So it was nice to be able to have fun.
There was tension with Joel and Ellie too, but the tension was different and more with Joel than it was Ellie. You and Ellie were already thick as thieves. Joel seemed slightly more content with your presence since your speech lastnight and your speech this morning.
You stood in the middle of the room next to Ellie, the two of you staring up at the way the sun shine in through the hole in the ceiling. You closed your eyes when you felt a breeze blow through, smiling lightly and sighing softly through your nose.
Then you heard it.. several clicks off in the corner. Your head jerked over in that direction. The Clicker was jerking its head from side to side, your breathing likely aiding it in making its way towards you. Towards Ellie. You grabbed her jacket and instinctively tugged her behind you. You did feel slightly obligated to Ellie because of what she’d done to David, but it was more than that, a deep carnal urge to protect her, keep her safe.
As you moved her behind you, Joel reached out and grabbed her other arm to tug her behind him as well. As the three of you took a step back, Ellie stepped on a piece of glass that had fallen from the hole in the ceiling, likely damaged during a storm. The Clicker jerked its head towards the noise and immediately started to sprint towards the three of you.
You spun around and started to run out of the building with Joel and Ellie, muttering fuck fuck fuck under your breath, feeling your feet pound against the tile flooring just as you got to the door, but at the last second the Clicker had managed to grab the back of your clothes and sling you back into the room with a loud clicking screech.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
You stumbled back, tripping a little and rolling on the ground, groaning softly and closing your eyes before shaking your head and yanking them open, quickly remembering why you were on the ground. You scrambled to your feet quickly and looked over at the knife on the floor, and then back at the Clicker. It made a few clicking noises, standing between you and the door so there was no way to quickly make it past him.
You just barely saw Joel and Ellie in the other room and when Joel had taken a step toward you, his boot squeaking just a bit before he froze, the clicker jerked its head towards the noise, clicking curiously and taking a step towards them. No no no. “Hey!” The word came out so fast you didn’t even really know you were saying it until the clicker was running at you again.
“Mother-“ you bolted off to the side and ran for your knife, sliding on your knees on the floor as you grabbed it and spun around just as the clicker ran into you. Again, you were on the ground on your back, the clicker screeching in your face as it fought to try and get a bite at you.
When you reeled your knife back to stab the clicker in the head it had reached down to scratch you, the knife stabbing through its hand. “FUCK!” You screamed before finally managing to wrestle the clicker underneath you, yanking your knife out of its hand, wrestling the right one under your left knee and the left one under your right knee before lifting your knife and bringing it down into the clicker’s mushroom face.
After the first stab you just kept going, your back to Ellie and Joel As you stabbed the Clicker for a final time, you let out a simultaneous scream with its screech, leaning down so you were closer to its face before you ripped your knife from it.
When you felt a hand grab your shoulder you freaked out and flipped your attacker onto their back beside the Clicker, knife raised for another attack. But when you heard Joel speak, you froze and just looked down at him, breathing heavily.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
“Woah, woah! It’s me!” Joel looked at you with his hands showing to show you he didn’t have anything and wasn’t going to hurt you. You looked like a cornered feral animal, eyes wide and pupils blown, your hair, which had previously been thrown up into a ponytail was now loose with stray hairs falling in front of your face, your cheeks puffing out with each exhale. “It’s just Joel.”
He watched as you calmed down, your grip loosening on your knife, he got up when you moved off of him and held his hand out to help you up. Your hand stayed there for a moment, your eyes locked with Joel’s as he gave you a simple nod of his head, his lips quirked up just a little bit in the corner.
“That was so fucking awesome!” Ellie ran over to you. “You just fought a Clicker! With your fucking hands!” She looked at Joel, who hadn’t stopped looking at you. “Joel there’s no way we can just let her leave! She’s gotta stay! I mean- she flipped you, dude! And you’re huge! Look at him, he’s completely speechless. You’re staying.”
Joel snapped his head towards Ellie when she said that, his eyes wide. He squinted at her, and she squinted back at him, then he let out a sigh through his nose, exasperated with Ellie’s brashness and refusal to talk to him before making this kind of decision, Ellie mocked him. “You’re staying- I mean… if you want to.” Ellie looked at you finally.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
You’d been staring at them, trying to figure out what this silent conversation was about. During the wait you’d taken the chance to acknowledge what Ellie had said… he wasn’t really huge, since the start of the apocalypse you’ve seen some truly horrifyingly huge men, he was still a solid, impressively built man, though.
His hands were big, fingers thick and they felt calloused when they brushed against the skin on your arm when you’d flipped him, you weren’t even really sure how you did that, you guessed the adrenaline that was still making your hands jittery. His arms were thick, shoulders broad, and his chest matched them perfectly, all covered in a perfect tan.
Oh. Shit.
“Yeah… yeah I’d like that.” You laughed awkwardly, wiping your hands on your wet clothes and looking around to make sure you had everything, looking up at them and motioning towards the doors. “Well. Shall we?” You turned and started walking out of the building, clearing your throat a little.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Ellie and Joel followed suit, Ellie watching you admirably, while Joel just… watched you. Stoic look on his face, his brows less furrowed, though, but his frown not as deep.
Ellie picked up on it immediately. “That was really cool.” She told him. “She wrestled a fucking Clicker, Joel. It was epic.” Joel glanced at Ellie, and then back to you and nodded. “Yeah, she’s…”
“Hot.” Joel’s eyes shot open wide and he looked at Ellie. He was going to say impressive… it was odd the things the younger generation found attractive, though, now that’s it brought to his attention… he guessed hot was.. a pretty good description. Not that fighting for your life was hot, but watching you absolutely demolish one of those things was quite possibly the hottest thing he’s ever seen.
“I fucking knew it.” Ellie smirked at Joel and then looked forward again. “You’ve got the hots for her.” “Jesus- I do not- and I’m not talking about this with you. I’m old enough to be her father.” He scoffed as Ellie rolled her eyes. “I thought girls used to be into that shit?” “How the hell are you learnin all this shit but you didn’t know what a damn seatbelt was?”
Ellie groaned. “That doesn’t matter.” “I think it matters.” “What matters is you’ve got the hots for her and she has the hots for you.” “Ellie we’re not talking about this anymore.” “Why not? We’re both adults.” “You’re not an adult.” Joel raised a brow at her. “… fine. We’re an adult and… a quarter of an adult. But Y’know- I’m old enough to watch one of those pg13 movie things by myself, so.” “Oh my-“ “so that means I’m old enough to talk about this stuff.” “Please make it stop-“ “and you’re just being grumpy cause I’m telling the truth and now you have to think about it.” Ellie slapped his back and then sped up to walk next to you.
Maybe he should’ve left her with Marlene and that woman with the blown off ear. Was saving the world really worth all this constant taunting by a 14 year old? And the puns- god the puns… okay so… maybe the puns weren’t so bad… the taunting was actually funny sometimes… and maybe you weren’t so bad either.
But that doesn’t mean he “has the hots” for you. Jesus where was Ellie learning all this shit from. All the damn books at FEDRA and not one of them mentioned a seatbelt, yet coincidentally “qualified” Ellie to determine whether or not Joel is attracted to you?

Finished watching the Soul Eater anime
AND I LOVE MAKA AND SOUL HOLY SHIT, YOUR HONOR THEY ARE A DUO . NEVER SEPARATE THEM AHSJBXKZHSB
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After watching jjk, Nobara was my 2nd favourite character because of how she's both badass and girly, but I was bummed that she didn't appear as much as I wanted her to in the anime, so I looked to other animes where a girl was the main character and saw Soul Eater had a female main protagonist.
The first episode and I was HOOKED. LOVED IT AAA MAKA KNOWS HOW TO KICK ASS AND SHE'S SO COOL AGSJWWJCOQLFJWK
At first I was kinda on the fence about the art style, but after getting into the first episode I positively ADORE IT. So much charm and style and exaggerated poses which kinda reminds me of ROTTMNT in a way. I see people mentioning it was Tim Burton-esque, and I see it too. A lot of halloween vibes which was very fitting at the time.
Anyways, the fight animation was great, I loved Maka (and Soul) and I was very invested,, until the fanservice came out. I felt like bashing my skull against the wall and just dying inside because of how much I couldn't handle the cringe. But I held out because Maka was my light in the darkness.
Super glad I did because Maka is so fun to watch as a character huehehe. Her dynamic with other characters is really fun, she's a capable fighter and knows how to get around in a fight. She even goes off the hinge and if you know me that makes me giggle excitedly ehhehehehehe (poor crona tho ;_;)
Tumblr media
My brother told me "It's an oldie but it's a goodie" and (for the most part) I very much agree. I was late to this anime by 14 years but better late than never amirite?
Anyways, Soul and Maka are everything to me and they should NOT be separated. Though Maka looks like the reasonable one, they're both equally dumbasses. They bicker a lot and sometimes have serious arguments which cause them to split apart, but their friendship runs very deep. I love how I feel like they stand equal with eachother, both pull their weight and one's presence completes the other's, whether literally through the weapon-meister relationship, or figuratively through their friendship and uplifiting eachother when they're down in the dumps.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Soul genuinely really cares for her. Like, he shields Maka in the fight with Stein, Crona, and when she fell, he's there to pull her out the deep end when she's gone into Madness or when her knees buckle under the pressure of a battle or when she's furious beyond belief, and he's loyal as hell and will go through hell and back for her
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And the feeling is very mutual! Maka is devastated when he took a hit for her and is determined to get stronger. The scene where she picks up Soul although her hands were burnt by him was hype as hell.
Their whole schtick of like "staying cool" is also so adorable i cant my heart-
ANIME SPOILERS
.
.
.
.
The first half of the anime was fantastic. Though it pains me to say the second half was rather lackluster and the ending was disappointing imo. I've heard whispers of spoilers that they fumbled with the ending but I wanted to make that judgement by myself.
It baffles me why these studios don't just put the series on hiatus until more chapters from the manga releases.
Anyways, I'm currently picking up from the manga and I'm hoping for a better ending and story there ;u;

Pls just make another sxf (spy x family) x male reader, like if you cook for them and i love your post and well i hope you make more 💯 thanks !
AWEE TYSMM! <3 And yes I will do your request and I apologize for focusing on other community fanfics. ':D I want to reassure you that I will mainly focus on spy x family x male reader scenarios and headcannons! ^0^
When you cook for them
Characters: Loid Forger, Yuri Briar, Franky Franklin, Platonic!Henry Henderson
Genre: Fluff/Scenario/Headcannons
Summary: They’re tired after work and come back home to you cooking for them.
Tumblr media
-You were in the neighborhood of where Twilight or Loid had lived and decided to pay a visit. Turns out he was still busy on his spy mission and his wife and child were trying to make “food”. And when I mean food I mean it was rather literal sh*t ‘:) Everything was either burnt, half cooked, or exploded.
-After doing majority of the work you had almost finished making everything and were preparing desert until Loid had walked in, half dead from being exhausted because of his mission. THIS MAN HAD TO TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO REALIZE THAT YOU WERE IN HIS HOUSE BEFORE ACTING LIKE HE WAS FINE. 
-After that expect the both of you to be fighting over who does what for the desert because this man doesn’t want to burden you and wants to show off his cooking! Not only that but this would be a whole cooking episode because it’s a damn CONTEST for whoever’s cooking is better when he just wanted to show off in front of you (with Yor, Anya, and even Franky being the Judge)!
-After that it ended up in a tie where both of you felt defeated and tried eachothers dishes AND LOID WAS STRAIGHT UP GEEKING OF HOW YOURS WAS! This man wants every recipe of how you made the dishes and will share his aswell! Loid will be rather disapointed though that he won’t be able to taste your cooking again though since you’ll be in a different area for your next mission though. :(
-After the end of that episode they’ll probably be a scene where both contestants talk about what they think about their rivals and this man-
“What do you think of your rival’s cooking, Papa?” Anya says to Loid with a microphone, passing it to him. “My cooking is better than his though they way he spices things up with his dishes, the presentation, taste, ingredients, steps-” After that he just takes at least 10 minutes to finish his review to the point it just seems as if he thinks yours is better. Anya is ashamed of Papa for talking too much about his rival.
Tumblr media
-MAN IS AWESTRUCK AND FLABBERGASTED
-He usually orders delivery from fast food restaurants because he’s usually to tired to cook, so seeing you actually use his stove and oven to cook is surprising! He would be waiting so patiently for the food to finish cooking and after tasting your food he’s basically addicted! 
-Yuri would buy so many unneeded ingredients (just like Yor) for you to cook and would try to pay you back by taking turns at cooking. Like honestly his cooking is decent but makes too small of portions that it’s just for one person like PLEASE I PERSONALLY LOVE FOOD BUT WHY THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO SERVE IT TO TWO PEOPLE?! :)
-He gets weak at the knees honestly for your cooking and would do anything for you to do so. :’) Of course if you hate his cooking Yuri would cry but try to learn more recipes on how to cook and is surprisingly a fast learner so expect him to actually get better! After that if you prefer his cooking more and want Yuri to he would be honored and just go all out but this time might make too many servings that it’ll need to be saved for days! 
”Can you cook this time, pleease~?” Yuri says to his boyfriend while holding his leg, on his knees, slightly teary. “Not this time Yuri...I want you to try making this. Please~?” He gives the recipe book to, on a certain page of how to make crepes. While doing so he gives him a pouting dog face, Yuri sighing in defeat. “Okay then, just make sure you cook tomorrow then. You already know how much I love your cooking!” Yuri stands up, heading to the kitchen with his boyfriend excited to try his cooking. “Thank you!”
Tumblr media
- He usually does the same as Yuri, ordering fast food and cooking decent food. :’D He usually eats a mixture of his own food and the one he ordered so to see you cook makes him happy and excited! Expect Franky to not be able to stand still and just wait, THIS MAN WILL GET ALL UP IN YOUR SPACE, WATCHING YOU COOK! 
-Franky is an impatient child, waiting for his father to come back with milk, WHICH YOU DO! Man ascends for a second from how good your cooking is and will come back for more! HE’S AN ABSOLUTE FOOD HOARDER LIKE HE ALWAYS THOUGHT EATING FOOD WAS A BIT OF A LIVING CHORE BUT AFTER YOU COOK FOR HIM HE’S ALL ABOUT IT!
-This guy will get ALL of the ingredients for all the things he wants you to cook next and will pay you pay with physical touch, affection, and bringing home gifts for you! He’s the man if you want a whole lotta love for doing things you may consider the bare minimum. HE’S JUST A SUCKER FOR YOU MAN!
As Franky watches his boyfriend cook, he not only admires your cooking, but you aswell, putting his arms around your waist from behind. “You look so beautiful when you cook, darling.” He says in with his head on the crook of his boyfriend’s shoulder, placing kisses on you neck, making you shiver in surprise. “Not when I’m cooking Franky!” You swat his face but gently enough not to hurt him aswell as trying to get his hands off your waist, however just does it tighter. “Let’s just stay a bit longer like this, please?” You slightly sigh but smile kindly, giving in. “Alright then.” Both of you slightly swaying together as you cook. 
Tumblr media
As Henry walks in his house tiredly, making his way to his bed to just sleep in for the day he hears sizzles in his kitchen. As he gets there half awake, he opens his eyes and jumps in surprise to see a familiar, elegant young man, you. “H-HOW DO YOU KNOW I LIVE?! HOW DID YOU GET IN EVEN?!”  “You don’t remember? During our call last night, you told me where you lived and how to get in when you forgot your keys, which was under your rug.” Flipping the pancake you were making, you then smile tenderly to him. “I know it’s not breakfast anymore and you probably wouldn’t consider this elegant for your schedule, but please have a seat and I’ll cook something else up for you!”  
-This man is the definition of waiting. He will wait not only so elegantly but he’ll even watch you as you cook while he waits! Henry doesn’t take a second to move anything other than his head and even if he needs to take a sh*t, THAT CAN WAIT! Right now it’s really about you and how elegant you are!
-After he receives his food he’ll take a few minutes to observe the condition and presentation of the meal, which it makes you a little nervous because YOU KNOW WHAT HE’S DOING BUT DON’T KNOW IF HE LIKES IT, WHICH HE REALLY DOES! He’s just in awe of how elegant it looks because he’s like “this man not only makes elegant work, looks elegant, BUT HIS FOOD ASWELL?!” Henry is just in heaven honestly! He can’t get enough!
-Even after tasting it he tries so hard to slowly but elegantly finish it but he wants seconds before it gets cold! Man just looses his composure honestly and speeds up the process that it catches you in surprise, making you happy but with the cost of him slightly loosing his pride in how elegant he is himself!
-Henry will most definitely want you to come back to his house again to spend time together, doing things he has in it and so that he can cook for you!

Mortal Kombat Legends: Smoke Screen; Chapter 7: The Flesh Pits
Morning rolls by in Outworld, the Warriors of Earthrealm wake up and head to the throne room, Kuai is explaining everything up to this point to Hanzo Hasashi, Cassie is texting her dad to notify him that they're okay, Robin is being told about the situation at hand by Smoke and Jax and Kabal are talking about sparring later. They all step before Kitana, Mileena and Rain.
Kitana: last night, you have stated that an amulet that is required for your return to Earthrealm was lost during your first encounter with the Black Dragon, correct?
Smoke: Exactly, your highness.
Scorpion: Wait, my amulet?
Kabal: Don't worry about it.
Rain: Ah, I see you have healed nicely, Hanzo.
Scorpion: Indeed, General, now what was that about my amulet being lost?
Jax: Don't worry about it.
Mileena: By the time of noon, we shall send search parties to look for your sacred amulet across the market, and you all can seach outside of it, from the east and west.
The fighters walk out to the back of the palace, where they have a training ground shaped like an octagon, Kabal and Jax are the first to enter for a quick sparring round
Kabal: So is this game really just cripples beating eachother?
Jax: Hah! Kano's poor vision and your burnt victim status!
Kabal: You litteraly have no arms.
Jax: Well, fuck you.
The battle began, the first to be knocked out of the ring loses.
Robin, with a slightly deeper voice: Round one, FIGHT!
Kabal ran circles around the cyberneticly enhanced solider, trying to hit him as much as possible, while Jax quickly saw though this and grabbed Kabal mid charge, throwing him on the ground. The speedster quickly got up and blocked an overhead swing by Jax, jabbing him in the stomach, and delivering a hook to his side. Jax returned with a punch to the stomach, knocking the wind out of Kabal's lungs. And with one quick motion, Kabal has been kicked out of the ring.
Cassie, Tomas and Kuai go to check on Kabal, who was thankfully fine.
Cassie: Damn bro, you were knocked the F out.
Kabal: (weakly) Yeah, thought so.
They take Kabal to a resting area, and Jax hopped down to Smoke, Sub Zero, Scorpion, Cassie and Red Robin.
Jax: Shoot, did i... over did it?
Sub Zero: Do not worry, Jackson, your strength is incredible.
Jax: That's not what i meant, I might have hurt Kabal.
Scorpion: You let your anger guide your punches, you must'nt let that happen, Major. I speak from experience.
Jax: Yeah, but, what if i lose contol? If I die again, how can i protect the one's I love?
Smoke: Jackson Briggs, you are much like Kuai's friend, Cyrax, in the sense that you both fight to protect, not destroy. When the cyber iniciative began, both Cyrax and Kuai tried to escape, and i was the last of my clan to have a soul of my own.
Cassie: After the invasion of Earthrealm, you guys freed Kuai from the sorcerer, Quan Chi's necrophilia.
Kuai: The word you're looking for is necromancy, Cassie.
Cassie: It's Quan Chi, same difference.
Smoke: And Years later, we returned Cyrax's soul to his body, and he returned to our temple, and lended a helping hand in protecting Earthrealm from outside threats.
Scorpion: Some say that it will make you week having sentiment for someone, but warriors like you and Kabal, Jackson, are empowered by sentiment.
Jax chuckled, glad that he has such kind souls as his allies, his friends.
Jax: Y'all're right, Smoke. I guess... I guess i'm just afraid, what with chasing Kano all my life with Sonya, and the fact I didn't really see Jaqui in a while, ever since she married Takeda.
Smoke: There is no need to be affaid, Jax. We are all here for you, until our very last breath, we will fight and prevail, together.
Jax let out a relieveing sigh, as a smile on his face was formed, he extended his fist out to Smoke. He looked at Jax, confused. Robin stepped forward, demonstrating it to Smoke.
Robin: Here, you make a fist, and bump it with Jax's, just like that.
Smoke tried it, and mannaged it first try.
Sub Zero: How do you know so much about Earthrealms culture, Red Robin?
Robin: Oh, uh, my mother was an Earthrealmer who came to Outworld during the time of the final Mortal Kombat tournament, which is where she met my father...
Smoke: What happened to them?
Robin: (poorly imitating Kitana's voice) Robin, come here, we need you.
Robin: (normal voice) Whoops, haha, sorry, i gotta take this.
And he runs off to the palace. The Lin Kuei warriors were confused, and the Special Forces shrugged at one another.
It is noon, and Earthrealm's warriors have returned to the throne room, to take further orders from the Outworlds rulers.
Mileena: We have already sent search parties to the Flesh Pits and shoreside by the sea of blood, you may look on the eastern and western sides of Outworld.
Rain: On the east, speak this over with Queen Sheeva of Quatan, home of the Shokan.
Kitana: and on the west it Tarkata, where you will speak with the Tarkatan's and Barraka.
Jax: Before we head out, i should give you this.
Jax gives Kitana a spare communication device he has.
Kitana: What is this?
Jax: You Press the button on the side so we can stay in contact if something goes wrong.
Rain: Fascinating. You now may leave to search for any signs of Kano or his Black Dragon.
Robin giggled, thinking of something.
Robin: *ahem* Anyways, lets get goin'.
Cassie: Uncle Jax, Kabal and I'll go to Quatan, while you four go to Tarkata to talk to Nosferatu.
Smoke: It shall be done.
Sub Zero: Yes, commander Cage.
Robin: Aye aye, captain.
Erron: Hold up, why don't we go with them?
Reptile: Yeah, this makes no sense.
Rain: you have to stay here and uhhh...
Mileena: Protect the market, just in case.
Erron and Reptile looked confused, with theyre hands down to their hips.
Reptile: What does that even mean?-
Cassie: Not listening, we are already out byyyeeeee-
And the team splits up. Speaking of the Black Dragon, they have reached the former laboratory of the late sorcerer, with Kano and the Kytin champion breaking the doors down one by one. D'vorah was getting sick of this.
D'vorah: WOULD YOU STOP?!
Kano and the champion stopped in theyre tracks, as they step before the entrance to the lab. Champion raised his fist ready to punch the door open, then the Kytin queen raised her hand, stopping him. She put her hand on the door, and it opened automatically. Kano, Tremor and Skarlet stared in awe.
Kano: ...How--
D'vorah: Shang Tsung gave this one access to the laboratory.
Skarlet and Tremor looked at one another, shrugging at one another.
They enter the lab, greeted with bodies, various unencils and test tubes with hybrids of Kytin and other Outworld legends.
Tremor: I think i'm going to be sick.
The rock human turned to a wall, taking off his mask he started spewing magma onto the floor, revieling lower levels of the carved mountain. Tremor put his mask back on, and Skarlet turned over to him, with a bit of unease.
Skarlet: Bless you.
Tremor: Sorry, its a reflex. So anyway *ahem*, what are these things?
D'vorah stepped infront of them, gesturing to the amalgamations.
D'vorah: They are this one's children.
Skarlet: They are freaks of nature, D'vorah.
D'vorah: Thats what your mother said.
Skarlet looked at the insectoid with utter rage. She was able to open the tubes and awaken the Kytin clones, and spoke to them in the Kytin tounge.
D'vorah: They agree to help us on our quest.
Kano: Well, lets get goin' then.
As they were exiting, they realized that the way out had a security system of sorts, at a certain hour, the door would be locked and there's no way out. When the Black Dragon realized this, they tried a different aproach, and went with an alternate route through a location in the mountain called the Soul Chamber. Accidentaly, one of the Kytin stepped on a trip wire, which suddenly made the whole mountain crumble beneath their feet, which awakened something inside the chamber's core, a mysterious and overlayed voice was heared from it. Out of it emerged Ermac, a warrior made up of souls of thousands of fallen warriors, who clenching his fists and raising his head, he spoke his first after years in the chamber...
Ermac: You have disturbed our regeneration process, now you shall suffer our wrath!
This was heavily implied to D'vorah, as she had betrayed someone they worked for, but Kano recalls meeting Ermac at the tournament before, so he knew what he was up against. They were prepared for battle but Kano thought  that maybe they could recruit Ermac. Ermac started firing magic at the unexpected alliance, and the fight began!
Ermac used his psychic powers to crush and push kytin warriors off the ledge of the chamber's bridge, as Kano throws his knifes at the Shang Tsung's finest creation. Ermac threw them to the ground, grabbing the australian with his mind powers, just demonstating his incredible power.
Ermac: Do you really think you can defeat us, coward?
Kano chuckled with pride, pointing his finger behind the psychic soul master.
Kano: Nah, but she can.
Ermac turned his head, and D'vorah swings her spider-like legs at him, stunning him for a bit. The insectoid was preparing to finish the job, but Kano stops her in her tracks.
Kano: No. Lets bring him with us, he could be of use. Plus, we don't need you enraging the fanbase again.
D'vorah: The what—
Kano: Just take him with us.
Kano put Ermac on the Kytin Champion's back, and they ran off to the side entrance, escaping the impending doom that was the crumbling mountain. While this was happening, two scouts bare wittnessed this event and ided to investigate. They were spoted by the Black Dragon who started chasing after them. One of them mannaged to escape, but the other was too slow. The unfortunate one was grabbed by Ermac, and his soul was taken by the psychic. The scout that escaped saw this happen, and was devastated, tears shed from his eyes over his friends death, he continued riding to the capital.

oh!! since i just rbd that post about him tell me more about cannibal engiee! -if not him then maybe ramble about pyroland engiee? [also hiiiiii hii dell i hope u are doing well today!! ^o^/] -plushpyro
HIII HELLOOO YES YES AH'LL LUV TO TALK ABOUT THEM!!!!!; ← is going to talk about both of them //& ah hope u havin a gud time too!!!
cannibal engineer (he/they for now) <3
okay this man. his team was starving to death because of the shipment of supplies stop being sent to the base & well. things were running out.
so, starved & sleep deprivation from trying to get in contact with their superiors, dove out into the New Mexico Dessert & basically tried to get to Teufort. unfortunately? he didn't get there. he did, however, get to a little house out in the middle of nowhere.
so, with his car ALSO running out of gas, he pulled up & ended up asking the couple that lived in the house for food.
he was.. unfortunately declined. something about.. well, he doesn't remember. what he does remember, however, was blood on his hands & the couple's bodies still warm. an horrific idea popped into his head after raiding the whole house for supplies, which. wasn't a lot. so, with the memories of the slaughterhouse that his father runs, he.. took care of the bodies. took the meat, all of it that's on the body, kept it cool so it wouldn't rot. changed clothes. burnt everything down when he had everything of importance out, so no one would know.
when he's back to the base, with new gas that he stole, his body went on autopilot. he put everything away, barely registering the questions that his teammates had, lying through everything, & started cooking. he was .. a little spacey. almost burnt something on the stove when Heavy decided that, yeah he needs help cooking.
so everyone was fed that day. they thanked him, they thanked him when they didn't even know who they just ate. & he didn't tell them. he couldn't. he can't. he can't he can't he just can't.
- he's heavily fucked from this. he may or may not ate a bit of the bodies before actually cutting them up. so there's the fuckery from that too.
- he used to love meat. now everytime he thinks of it, he can only sees his victims' faces before they die.
- Spy has suspicions. she will figure it out at some point.
- Engie kills on the daily now. mostly to fed his team. goes out & finds whatever town that's out there & just.. "borrows" some of their residents.
- likes roses <3
Pyroland (they/them, fine with he/him) go brr my beloved
- loves, LOVES stickers. will stick them to everything & everyone.
- is besties with their Pyro & close to their Soldier. Pyro because of their shared Pyroland Vision, Soldier because he was with them in the Respawn Limbo.
- Pyro (any/all) is sorta like their caretaker. it looks after Engie whenever they're around & they hang around her a lot. Pyro is more aware of what's not food & so it makes sure that they don't break their teeth trying to eat a wrench.
- Soldier (he/him for now) is close friends with Engie. they love eachother in a way that they know what they've been through & doesn't want eachother to be alone in it. goes to eachother whenever they remember things.
- eyes turn from hearts to white dots whenever gets snapped out of their Pyroland state/when traumatic memories start resurfacing. Respawn is not to be talked about around them. same with discussions of the Aftermath of Death. they have seen it. there was nothing.
- still fights. is just more brutal with it. yes they're very aware that they're killing, yes they enjoy it, yes they know it's their job.
- loves sweets!!! mostly lollipops & gummies. they have built gummy sentries too :3 working on a Dispenser that gives gummies as well as heals & ammo.
- everyone on their team now wears pink. because it's funny.
oughh.. feel free to ask more!!!!! ah luv them sm & would love to work on them more

someone gave me permission so be prepared for one of the longest posts!!! first story is introduction to both arata and liane, then the numbered stories are mid fun stories explaining more of them, and 3rd is more planned story for where they go if they were actually in game. yeet hehehehehehehe(also making inbetween text blue so can separate stuff easier in head)forgot a part hold on!!! putting now-
:readmore:
got it umm ill do arata and liane!!!! so, for the very start of their stories, arata and his family was finally able to move from inazuma and imigrated to fontaine main city when he was 6. he was very very quiet and mostly just read alone in school. as the strange quiet kid he ended up bullied. another kid in his class was a little girl named liane, loud exited personality and slitted eyes she made an inpact in the class. some tryed to pick on her, some were her friends. rumors around the school about her being a child of the abyss alwase wispered in her ears. she didnt let that bother her tho.
durring one of the weekly swimming lessons, arata was too close to the pool, and a kid thought it would be funny to knock him on a float. but arata was new to fontaine, and still couldnt swim.
no one noticed as he splashed around, and seemingly no one noticed when he lost his ballance and fell in. arata was sure he would die there. alone ostracized and forgotten by his peirs. electro vision manifesting and sealing his fate, because who would jump into a electric pool for him?
liane would, thats who. she noticed him splashing around on the float why would he try to go in if he obviously cant swim? when he slipped off the float, she jumped in. he drifted pretty far so she needed to swim for a bit but she got him. gripping the buzzing vision in her right hand and lifting with her left. trying her hardest to keep the vision from burning him.
when they got to the side of the pool, electro vision pushed to the side, a cryo one manifested next to it. flichering purple light and a paniced lianes crying the things bringing arata back to consciousness. plus a throbbing pain in his chest. lianes pov, getting him out of the water she tryed the compressions shed see others do but when he didnt cough up the water she started panicing. hitting his ribs as hard as she could, wishing the moment could stop. let her catch her breath and the boy to stay alive damn it! a few more hits and a crack neither noticed, he coughed up the water.
after all the crying, hugging, and paniced adults, they were sent to the nurces office. again a bunch of lectures, burnt hand and broken rib later, they still held onto eachother. througout everything they held on. after that day, that didnt change. the two sorta strange kids stuck together like glue. if you wanted one you had to deal with the other, or if you hurt one youd face the wrath of their friend.
little growing up stories time!!!!!!!
1.
back when they were 8, teachers still sat them next to eachother. them and their parents insisted for so long, and they wernt really distruptive to the class so it all worked out fine.... until the incident. one teacher, decided they really needed to *diversify* their friend circles, and put them on oposite sides of the class. joking around, a kid made a mistake. usually liane was the one fighting a lot to protect arata, but this time someone made liane the but of the joke in front of the whole class. needless to say, after that day the school needed to replace a few desks, and that the two raskles sit together<3
2.
over when they were 16, liane got sick. which was strange because she never got sick, the only time she did was after being in a lake for 3 hours in the fall on a dare, so arata was suspicious to say the least. whenever he tryed to ask lianes mom about it tho she would just say "oh dont worry about it, she'll be right as rain soon" and wouldnt let him see her. on the fifth day, he didnt ask. insted he snuck over to her window and used their secret knock before heading in. but she wasnt in there, double strange. last place to check was her bathroom, which wasnt locked for some reason? 3rd sus. hand semi blocking his eyes, he headed in.
she wasnt indecent, but she... didnt look the same. almost unrecognizable. usually sunburnt freckled tan skin replaced with a yellowy pale, brown wavy hair stark white and frizzy. the only true tells were her protective leather gloves and glossy slitted eyes, filled with tears.
arata didnt understand anything that was going on, but as soon as he could he held her tight in an embrace. apologies flowing from lianes mouth shushed with reassurance from arata. there was nothing she had to be sorry for, if he was being honest with himself, he was sorry for not being there sooner.
a polite talk with the mom and some liyue books later, arata fully understood. aparently back in liyue, there was the main shoot off of exorcists, and a little connection on the family tree not tracing back in liyue.(this is very hard to word) other members of the family this generation already showed off yang energy, this was just lianes shoving its head in. she didnt have a particular afinity or complications from her condition that others before had, but it still showed that her yang energy was irregular, and that she would have to get used to her new looks. (story 3 continues this sorta. might change the age to more 16 cause im still fixing stuff in my cannon but i think them 16 or 17 makes more sence)
3.
"im not doing this." "come on liane, we both know you dont wanna go out looking, well," "i look stupid i know. and im not leaving this room til im 50" "liane-" this conversation has been going on for 10 minutes straight. at this point, they were both starting to ajust, but one thing that was forgotten in the sick week was lianes hair.. she was panicing and thinking her life was over!! can you blame a girl? what ever circumstances brought it on, there needed to be something done. arata was holding a hairbrush still pleading with liane to let him do *something* but she wouldnt budge. "....what if i let you change my hair back?" "What!!!! why?" "so that we can both go back looking different. if i walk in there with a horid hair cut- and dont even try me. be both know you cant cut straight for shit- then there will be less people talking about your new uh, style, alright?" "but- but you like your style! didnt you just figure it out last year? and you just figured out how to french braid- ill just, i can deal with it alone. i dont want to let you deal with anything more because of me"
arata, knowing the stubbornness of his wonderful loud brash hurting friend, made the decision for her. grabbing the scissors, he cut some hair in front of his sholder to just frame his face. "liane, we both know we dont 'deal with something alone'. remember back when i couldnt go on that trip because i needed to be tutored in math? and you stayed behind too even though you were looking forward to it all year? or that time i got grouped up with that mean kid? you traded with me just so i wouldnt have to deal with the brunt of his anger. you sticked right there next to me wile i was still just that 'weird mute foreign kid' even when all your friends wanted to go to the pool. so if your gonna have to deal with some ass hats talking about your hair, then im just gonna have to have even worse hair. your not getting rid of me that easy. now come on, please let me take care of you"
arata hadnt noticed when he started crying, nor when liane started. one thing he truely knew tho, was how warm and secure they could keep eachother in an embrace.
-time skip-
"i. regret. everything" "no you dont! remember what you said~ 'your not getting rid of me that easily' which means your stuck with me for life!" different hairstyles[he was right, she couldnt cut straight.], new uniforms, new different paths they were going on to become a judge and scout, and a new *oh so wonderful* hat of leafs liane was slowly stacking on his head. the little nicknames changed, his neck adorned with a ring to seal his family and hers that they would not be alone, and, of cource, all the little jokes and pranks to show affection. but one thing didnt change, he didnt think it ever would. "come oon book worm! im soooooo tired and bored of sitting under this tree- oh i know! what if we went to that new bakery opening up? i heard its got some delicious pasteries and breads and-" he let her ramble off. leafs tumbling from his head and book mark in his book. hand in hand, like alwase talking and walking along.
they defedently would change, they alwase did. they alwase were, but the one thing that didnt. the single thing that stayed was the protection. they didnt need it anymore, the the promises wispered under sleepless night skys were enough to protect. and staying by eachothers side, that would be enough.
after story stuffs beyond this point, so more things and ideas for it they were in game.
thank youuu ack so idea for fontaine story line is you know the water poss in liyue? yeah sorta with that. the acting hydro archon works off of a total judgement. dosent care about the situations to lead to it, and mostly works off of things by the law they hold forth. so like if a starving person stole to eat, that person would be punished because of them taking the food. it dosent matter that the people higher up hold most of the farm lands and polute any that arnt theres making it almost inposible to sustain ones self, that person stole. working in sorta dystopia stuff with it but yee. with traveler side i imagine they go through and learn about all the spearate parts of the nation and end up figuring out their own rebelion effort. sorta mirroring inazuma but wanna make it different. its hard to explain cause really havent planned it out best- but to sum it up its more a revolution twords the higher up of society, which ends up with most of the rebelion labled as criminals. thats where the hydro archon stuff works in. because am salty this region will tecnically have 3 sorta archon could be placed as but more like no archon cause salty about hoyo. archon that killed the past archon that runs the show, the past archons still semi alive body that am making as a character, and one person that somehow counts as archon archon(caude still trying to adhere to genshin one playable archon per region) and gnosis you understnad-
"well how dose this work into character stuffs-" it works in like this! liane is one of the first people that shows you around fontaines main city. she shows of the technology and teaches the traveler how the nation works(plus introducing you to other fontaine characters like arata). you dont interact with her much after wards til your seen as part of a wanted group. somehow then traveler ends up interacting with her again and she hides the traveler a tiny bit. yada yada need to explain more too much extra stuff in background-
to add on, arata is sceptical of hydro archons rule wile liane sticks with it a lot. that comes with some conflict. wile all the rebelion stuff has been happening arata has tryed to talk to liane about it. trying to reason with her. she dosent understand tho so they stay in the city. when shes found out to have helped and hidden the traveler(this is all still veeeeeery blurry but am trying so hard to word right), she gets taken to court right in front of the acting hydro archon. her sentance? hanged. to show what happens to those who dont abide by the law.
with this announcement its called that most everyone come to watch. but when liane drops, different hydro bow dude thats big part of revolution shoots her down wile traveler dose hydro archon fight stuffs. arata is very much have Having A Bad Day TM so far so as soon as liane hits the ground he is holding her- thats where the dijected and sad drawings came from this moment. liane is numb for a lil bit til warmth of arata warms her up and its hugs and arata gives so many scolds and kisses and so much crying happens. they arnt part of the story quest after that exept for mabey end celebration stuffs yes. but happy ending! no sads! sorry this is horidly written i just cant handle angst and am still very planning this in my head
and thats all of it copy and pasted!!!! hope you enjoyed the bit of character lore stuffs ejebduwjdueh love my ocs- <3<3<3<3<3

The Max Power Twins:
Tumblr media
General Headcanons:
Thei names are Andrew and Leonard, Andy and Leo for short.
Their father is one of the higher ups in İnvincible United, quite a bigshot if you will. And their mother did everything she could to stir them away from footie anything, anything but football.
They tried out gymnastics, Andy was a natural but Leo couldn't get his knees past his chest, than there was tennis, Leo exeled and Andy broke his racket with his face, they tried out horseriding, scuba diving, opera, theatre, chess, cricket, painting just everything absolutely everything and never found anything that they could do togeather.
So eventually she just gave in and let them try out soccer, they were pretty good at it just not with eachother, passing, crossing and assisting eachother was near impossible but they kept playing despite.
Their dad most likely talked them into the scheme with some help from Vince, don't get me wrong he's a good dad just...ambitiuos.
On that note they're actually a pretty healthy family, both parents are very involved and supportive also their surname is Power but they took up mom's name Maxine.
Both of them love coffee a ridicilous amount like an unhealthy amount like they've been told by several doctors to cut back on it amount.
They tried very hard to not look like eachother during middle and highschool, Andy dyed his hair two shades redder and slicked it back and Leo had a shaggy mullet.
They don't hate eachother per say but they do have this underlying, simmering, never talked about but felt anyways sort of annoyance for eachother.
Neither of them know how to cook, clean or do laundry, they broke three coffee machines and they play rock paper scissors on who's going to order.
Both had a crush on Shakes at some point.
Andy loves nuts with hazelnut and cashew being particular favourites and Leo likes chocolate the gourmet kind.
They both hate tea, upon learning this both their parents quietly retrived to their shared study for the night, it was never talked about again. The twins drink sugary milk in fancy teacups whenever they come over.
Andy tried to bake coffee cakes out of the box for Leo's birthday once he burnt them to a goddamn crisp, Leo grabbed a knife, a spoon, scrapped the coal off the baking tray and ate it.
Yeah he did get sick but it was an act of love so it's cool.
Andy wears Santal Blush by Tom Ford, loves the powdery scent and Leo wears Chocolate Greedy by Montale.
They botht stole heir first bottle from their mom's vanity with dad's help.

So since I have some time now:
Here are my overall thoughts of c!Wilbur's penultimate lore stream that came out yesterday
I haven't rewatched it or anything, think of this as the overall review, with both some compliments and some criticism because I love this character and have been so invested on him for so long, I will always want what's better for his overall arc. So that's the "some negativity ahead" warning
First off: This stream was real fucking funny, especially after Connor shows up. It really exemplifies the weird ass things that can happen on this server as part of a larger and darker narrative while being completely silly, and that's the stream's strongest point aside from some neat character lines here and there. The humour is great, fantastic... But I need to complain about how especially the pacing leads this to feel like half-baked lore in the larger scheme of things and the humour alone can't get me to look away from the issues (I will say nice things down there too though, it's not like I disliked it completely or anything)
So, let's start with the beginning. Wilbur was in the community house, Niki appears, we go into confrontation and Wilbur apologizes mode. Very much expected since it's been the formula since the Tubbo apology stream.
My biggest issue here is how none of Niki's worst things are brought up, like the fact that she freed Dream from prison, that she fully intended to kill Tommy and blame Tubbo for it, that she burnt down the L'mantree and abandoned the l'manburgians when they were already down, sabotaging them, instead she demands Wilbur to be aware that he abandoned her, yada, yada. Not what I wanted, but again, very much expected since it's been a reoccurring issue since my own judas that characters at fault for many things just default to berating Wilbur while he folds like a lawn chair and their own misdeeds are never brought up so everything lacks a sense of balance and feels very rushed.
On that rushed sentiment: holy hell this one was rushed. After they go back and forth a bit, Wilbur apologizing, Niki saying that he left and never acknowledging that he was dead on the ground and six feet under, Wilbur apologizing, the fact that Wilbur did what he could for Niki during Pogtopia regarding the circumstances until the very end, ultimately getting her a place in, being willing to sacrifice himself for her and getting her a fox to fight for since the hope for L'manburg was practically lost by that point is barely brought up at all since it's one of those "Wilbur gets berated now" moments. But then, abruptly, it ends, and before Wilbur can get too spat on unlike previous lore streams (which I at least appreciate, because that gets tiring. Still would be much better if we could... You know... Explore the other character's misdeeds while Wilbur was dead as well), Niki switches on a dime, telling Wilbur that she missed him anyway, going from antagonizing to friendship in a second. Which could be done right, as in a "in the height of emotions they both break and cry because they're just so glad to eachother again under all the anger and hurt" way, but it just... Wasn't. It was too abrupt a change, we didn't get enough of an emotional high for it to be the payoff, and it feels disappointing with how much buildup this apology in particular has gotten (Wilbur had been preparing to talk to Niki since before even talking to Eret and has mentioned her every apology stream without fail. This HAD to be the big one before like... Tommy and possibly Quackity) and how we KNOW that Niki feels about Wilbur
She openly said that he was "invading her safe space" when catching wind of him being alive and residing at Phil's (In Techno's birthday stream). She believes that he betrayed her and left her on purpose and used her (unfounded and ridiculous as those claims are, like... Give us something, there's so much of an emotional punch to the gut hiding there just below the surface without going the "steps all over wet cat Wilbur" way either. Just say more, give it more spice, make it feel real, and maybe have Wilbur say something deeper about all he did for her in Pogtopia for once aside from "yeah, I'm sorry, I left you" and have THAT be the emotional break where they realize they can't be mad anymore, or something)
So anyways, there's the cute cake scene which I will give props to. That scene elevates the stream, because it's the kind of casual, more improv-based and neat little character building moments that I miss so much. We get Wilbur establishing that Niki taught them how to bake back in L'manburg. It calls back to her bakery, echoing all she lost, it gives you a mental image of those better times in L'manburg where they could afford to have a nice time and learn how to bake, and by contrast, how far they've all fallen. It establishes that Wilbur sucks at baking and put too much salt in, thinking it was right, but all with the good intention of giving Niki something nice as a gift to eat, and if anything summarizes Wilbur's constant struggles with wanting to be better for everyone else but not getting it quite right despite his intentions, it's that. Cute scene, funny, character building, good for analysis, 11/10 would watch Wilbur suck at cooking again
So then Connor shows up, whom Wilbur doesn't even know, and we go off the rails from there. So here starts the funniest parts, which are good, however, it is also a detriment, like I'm sorry to be a party pooper, but again, the Niki confrontation got too much buildup to be so suddenly put aside and derailed. They have too much angst buildup just sitting there, and Connor showing up doesn't even prompt anyone to mention the syndicate even in passing, which again, the missed opportunity of delving into the other character's misdeeds and mistakes. Hell, even the missed opportunity of just even mentioning that both Niki and Connor are in a group which Phil and Techno are a part of, to give Wilbur some further context for the history he's trying to ignore since motherfucking 3rd of august, 2021 of Doomsday
Then we got to the Ghostbur plot. Ok. Listen, Ghostbur is my boy, I really wanted him to be called back to and mentioned again, and everything pointed to it being a thing in this last stretch... But that was so extremely rushed as well. First of all, again, it feels shoehorned in, everything here feels like it needs a breather and to maybe be two streams minimum of longer duration each to really have things settle and mean something. Why are we getting the supposed Ghostbur closure in the Niki stream? The one that had so much buildup towards the Niki confrontation? With Niki, who did not think that Ghostbur was real and had a whole breakdown about him appearing in Doomsday just helping without much questioning? Are we not even gonna slightly nod to that? Ok, then, I guess... Guess we'll also ignore that this was a plot point set up with Tommy too, who actually would've added a LOT to this since he was arguably the closest person to Ghostbur, the one who respected him most and who even made him a grave. Think about what could've been if that setup had payoff, even moreso regarding the last crimeboys lore stream. Man... What we could've explored...
(Also more of a pet peeve, but god, the mention of Ghostbur as "Wilbur's good parts" is just. I love it from an in-character perspective, but damn has the expectations of what the non-analyst part of this fandom will do with that spoiled that line for me already)
Don't know if the context of Ghostbur will come back once again on the finale, as like a confirmed merge or maybe a peek, just something to symbolize that much needed self-forgiveness for Wilbur once he's stopped from what we all know he is planning to do... I can dream, but now I'm not really having high hopes about it at all
So then Connor dies to invoke Dream XD, we get some neat lines about how Wilbur doesn't even care for god and that's my iconoclast revolutionary right there, and Friend goes naked to limbo as an apology from Wilbur to what he still doesn't fully recognize as himself
And not too much after. It ends. Niki goes away. Wilbur is still kicking but not planning to for long. Connor isn't. We have one stream left
And damn... I just hope it's a LONG one or this will fall flat

Canary in a Coal Mine
Jimmy has always been the butt of every single joke. He's not all that skilled and he's a little slow. But he tries. Despite trying, he's been the first to die both for the first time and permanently in every single one of these games. Dubbed 'The Canary' because wherever he goes death just seems to follow him. Most other players make fun of him for this. It's something he's gotten used to.
Enter Tango. Tango is clumsy, overhwleming alot of the time and tends to be a danger to himself and the people around him. He's incredibly accident prone. So you can imagine the horror when he gets caught off guard and dies to a creeper sending both him and Jimmy to spawn. This is how they found out they were soul bound. An awkward first interaction for sure.
Now, their deaths were instantaneous, both synced perfectly. And the icing on the cake is that tango was the first player to die. Taking Jimmy with him and unintentionally carrying on the universe's tradition. Once back at spawn, instead of Tango making fun of the fact Jimmy still somehow died first, all he felt was guilt. 'Sorry's being blurted every other word. Jimmy wanted to be mad. He tried so hard to stay alive! This time it wasn't even his fault he died first! But Tango looked like a kicked puppy and being mad wouldn't get them anywhere.
They're perfect for eachother. While the rest would bring Jimmy down, make him nothing but a follower. Tango let Jimmy lead, and he flourished. Even the small things like resource gathering, Tango would encourage Jimmy and tell him he was doing amazing, no matter what he was doing.
They build a ranch and one thing led to another and suddenly it's on fire and nothing is stopping the whole building from burning to the ground. Jimmy had antagonised Scar, stole his nobel steed. In return he burnt down everything they'd worked for. Tango wasn't mad, like Jimmy expected, like anyone else would've been. Despite their efforts crumbling before them, Tango praised Jimmy for trying! For getting as far as he did!
And then everyone on the server began collecting those silly goat horns. Everytime one person blew a horn, the others would reply. They all had different ones and Jimmy really wanted to be a part of this, but no one would give him one and they even killed the goats before he could get one. Eventually him and Tango got matching horns! Someone sent the message around that no one should reply to Jimmy if he blew the horn. But Jimmy didn't care because every time he did it he would get a matching reply back from the one person whos showed him enough kindness to last him a lifetime. They're soulbound and Jimmy couldn't be happier that he was with Tango.
If Jimmy is The Canary then Tango is The Coal Mine.

Hi I am poking you back lmao. I kinda recall you mentioning that Judas and Maggy knew eachother? Maybe? I might be misremembering but I’m still curious to hear your take on her. Is she the biblical Magdalene? Just a kid with her name?
yup, she's the same Magdalene as in the Bibble. All Biblical characters are the same ones, the only exception being Isaac (and Beth, but she's not mentioned as much in the Bible and is often confused for Magdalene because they're both named Mary- dear Lord this book and religion is a mess).
You'll forgive me if I ramble about her right? Right?? (/ω\*)……… (/ω•\*)
!!!Tw mention of transphobia, and sexual exploitation!!! (no I am not joking!)
Magdalene was pretty much facing only one of two choices when looking at her life: live as a man, being able to do whatever job she wished, living with her family but repressing something she felt would make her truly happy, or live as a woman, castet out of the bloodline, and unless she found someone willing to marry her, have to live off of sex work. Maggie, burnt out from what her life had been so far, chooses the second option, willing to fake it till she makes it.
So she contacts some other sex workers about it as soon as she runs out of the house, but unfortunately runs into some terrible people, not someone who'd help her but someone who only cared about, well, making her work. She spent months just letting herself be used, as for a time they'd told her to just hold off, that they'll give her the money, but after a while she stops believing it too. But confronting them might mean being outed to Roman Guards, or worse, the Sinagogue, so she kept quiet.
One day, a fight still breaks out, and she's being yelled and kicked and bruised by some of those people, until a group of kind strangers basically step in between them and tell them to buzz off. She's still on the ground when one of them helps her up, saying his name was Mark and asking if she's ok, if they can accompany her home. She answers she doesn't really have a home, so one of them just says "well, I suppose you'll stay with us for a while." That guy was Christian Firestar Jesus of Nazareth.
So as she stays and travels with them, Jesus helps her through the trauma and emotions that come with all that happened. He also understands that being a girl makes her happy, happier than she'd ever be staying a boy, so he sees no reason why that should be a sin against God. He tells the others this as well, and all are accepting... but Peter was having doubts about her, mostly because she got incredibly attached to Jesus, his best friend, and his mother would sometimes joke on how they'd make a nice pair if he ever wished to marry. He's jealous in a "do not steal my bro away" but Maggie never saw anything more than a dearest friend in Jesus, plus she was earnestly interested in someone else in the group (hint hint).
So yeah, Maggie saw everything from Judas' betrayal, the crucifiction, Judas' death, the resurrection, and ascension. And to be frank she was excited about the prospect of going to preach around!... until Peter started being very, incredibly condescending towards her, especially with saying that if someone found out she was gonna make all of them look bad, and they were on thin fucking ice already with the authorities. He pretty much confined her to (Mother) Mary's house, and she could not stand it. She should not listen to him, he's not Jesus, he's just an asshat that has been bitter about her since the start!
So, she tries to go back to her old line of work, at least enough to get money to actually start travelling to preach about Jesus, on her own. She tries doing it without help, but is killed by one of her client's spouse in a jealous rage. In those moments between life and death, she start fearing, truly, being alone. So when she wakes and isn't in the place her friend had described as Heaven she's, for the most part, sad. She knew she was told to follow what Peter said, and actively disregarded that, but she was not a bad person after all. Was it because of her body? Was it because of prostitution? She screamed questions in the void of Limbo, but no one answered. She hated the loneliness.
(sidenote: Limbo in this AU is a place where Souls that can neither go to Heaven not Hell go, whose who have not repented and therefore cannot go to Purgatory, but also have not commited any terrible enough sins or still had faith in their actions' holiness. It's an emboy, foggy, vast plane with absolutely nothing in it, and you'll rarely meet another person there. It's truly the place for those who don't belong.)
So she ends up in the Basement, and decides to try not to cry over herself as soon as she finds someone that isn't a mindless zombie-thing. That how she ends up meeting the others and becoming the resident big sister of the group. However, some of the trauma start to resurface again, causing her to have horrible panic attacks out of nowhere, cuz PTSD is a bitch. Luckily nobody in the group questions her gender (Isaac goes to ask her about it a lot, but mostly for tips) and they do try to help her through the panic attacks, especially Eve.
And then one day the group meets Lazarus and Bethany and they're like

and then Judas starts messing things up, and he shows up to try to take Isaac with him and she's like

The fact that Judas kidnaps her later does not help mend their relationship at first!
Also her Yum Heart is, in fact, a whole ass heart, and the blood drawn from it helps to cure wounds. It's missing a chunk cuz she was not sure what to do with it at first. Hey, experimenting works (*゜ー゜*)
Sooo yeah I'd talk more but I don't wanna fill everything with spoilers, what I will say is that she gets comfy socks and a bigass shield in the end!

Summary: you’ve liked Tara for a while and eventually, you got tired of hearing her cry about Jake.
Warnings: cussing, mentions of y/n, Angst
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You and Tara have been friends for a few years and you two got really close in a short amount of time which is what made you both closer. You both were always honest and never really kept secrets from eachother, except for one. Even though you’ve been around Tara for a while and you guys built a stable friendship, you developed slight feelings for her.
You knew you like both genders but you didn’t expect to gain feelings for your best friend, especially Tara. There wasn’t anything bad about liking her, it was just because she didn’t like girls and she was already in her relationship with Jake and you didn’t want to ruin that for her or your friendship with her.
You’ve always felt jealous of Jake that he got to be with her, got to kiss her, sleep with her, everything that he could do with her that you couldn’t. You never showed you jealousy or hinted it because Jake was a good guy and he didn’t have bad intentions, but Tara was also happy with him and seeing her happy was all you needed.
Recently Jake and Tara have been having issues and for the past few weeks, they’ve had arguments left and right. It wasn’t any of your business but everytime they argued, Tara would always cry to you and at first you didn’t really mind it but after a while, it became exhausting.
It’s a weird feeling when the person you love comes crying to you because of someone they’re dating. Its confusing, but also frustrating because you knew you could honestly treat her better than Jake could.
Today was one of those days. You had just gotten out of the shower after a long day at work when you looked at your phone that was rested on your bathroom counter and saw a text from Tara, asking if she could come over because her and Jake got into another argument.
You stared at the message for a bit, not even able to think about an emotion to feel. You couldn’t say no to her because she was your best friend and it was rude, but at the same time, you didn’t know how much more of it you could take. You were just so tired and burnt out, but to your dismay, you texted her back and told her she could come before you shut your phone off and let out a heavy sigh as you walked into your closet so you could be dressed by the time she came.
Half an hour later and you finally heard a knock on your door. You got up from your bed and walked to your front door before you opened it and you were met with a crying Tara whose nose was red and had mascara running down her face. When she saw you, she immediately ran up to hug you and you couldn’t do anything but hug her back.
You closed the front door and locked it before you walked her to your bedroom and sat her down on your bed while she talked and sobbed about her and jake.
You’ve made it a routine that instead of giving her advice, you’d let her know you were listening so she could get everything off her chest. And if she was crying, you’d wet a rag with hot water and wipe her face since you learned that hot water calms nerves a lot better than cold does. You were walking back to her with a wet rag in your hand as she choked on her tears and you sat beside her on your bed before you placed her face in your hand and gently wiped the tears off her face.
Tara rested her face in your hand as a few more tears fell out her eyes and you wiped them with your thumb. You gazed down at her and couldn’t help but admire how pretty she looked, even if she was in the middle of a break down.
You always hated how you felt towards Tara because everytime you caught a glimpse of her, it was like you were in a trance and everytime she came close to you or touched you in any way, it made your heart flutter. It was frustrating bottling up how you felt about her but you knew if you did, it’d be the end of your friendship.
“y/n?” You heard a soft voice speaking, making you snap out of the trance you didn’t even know you were in. “Yeah?” You replied as you wiped under her eyes one last time and placed the rag beside you. “Are you okay? You seem zoned out” Tara asked and wrapped her small hand around your wrist.
You didn’t know what to respond with because you didn’t even know if you were okay yourself, but you nodded in response before speaking to her a gentle tone “im fine, just thinking about something”. Tara looked at you with slight confusion since to her, you were out of it. It looked like you weren’t even there, and because of that, she could help but wonder what you were thinking about. “What about?” She asked as you both made eye contact and gazed at each other.
Her eyes on yours made your heart pound and you felt like wanting to tell her everything and confess to her, but you didn’t. “It’s nothing, don’t worry about it” you responded as you removed your hand from her face. Tara didn’t push it any further but she still wondered about it.
Tara talked and vented to you for a bit and you just sat beside her and listened while you adored her voice and admired her eyes and her lips. The whole talk about Jake honestly pissed you off, but you kept nodding- to let her know you were listening to her.
Eventually Tara had gotten everything out her system and you both decided to lay with eachother for a bit because you figured she could use the comfort and also was an excuse for you to be close to her.
You held her in your arms and gazed at her as she laid in front of you and breathed quietly with her eyes closed. “Are you going to go back to him?” You asked. You already knew it was a dumb question but you’ve started thinking about that question mid way of Taras vent and by then, it just had to be asked. She opened her eyes and looked up at you before she shrugged. “i don’t really know. Why?” She asked since the question was out of nowhere.
“Just curious”. You don’t really understand what happened in that second, but hearing her answer started to make you a bit more upset than you were earlier and then in that moment, you wanted to walk away from her and distance yourself from her. You were just tired and frustrated because they’ve gotten into so many arguments and even threatened to break up with eachother, yet she’s always going back to him and then back to you a few days later, crying.
You let out a frustrated sigh that you thought she couldn’t hear but then she raised her eyebrow at you. “Are you sure? Because you seem annoyed” she asked as you realized that you made it more obvious than you thought. “I’m fine. Don’t worry about it.” You tried not to sound irritated but you forgot that Tara knew you better than you knew yourself. “No, what’s wrong?” She asked again but this time in a serious and louder tone since she could tell something was bothering you.
You thought it was sweet that she was worrying about you but you just couldn’t ignore how you were feeling anymore. You were pissed and it wasn’t hard to miss. “I’m fine.” You spoke a bit louder than her and got up from your bed so you weren’t forced to look at her. Tara was starting to get upset herself because she knew that something was on your mind and you weren’t telling her, but you’ve been quiet and zoning out the whole time she’s been there and she didn’t want to ignore it anymore either.
“Why can’t you just tell me?” she started to raise her voice as she sat up and stared at you. You wanted to yell at her and release everything you’ve been holding back but you couldn’t. “god Tara, do you ever just leave shit alone? It’s obvious I don’t want to talk to you about it so why can’t you just fucking drop it?” You snapped at her and turned around to face her, but you saw her whole expression change. It was clear to you that your words and sudden tone change worried her and hurt her a bit, but you felt to angry to apologize.
“Why are you acting this way?”. Those last words from her made something snap inside of you. “Are you kidding me Tara? Every single day you come to my house and come crying to me about Jake and its the same fucking story everytime. It’s so fucking annoying Tara, and it’s so goddamn exhausting hearing you talk about how Jake treats you because I like you and I know that I could treat you better than he could” you snapped, finally admitting everything that’s been torturing you for years.
Tara was speechless. She didn’t know what to say because she never knew and because you’ve never cussed at her like that, and were usually patient and gentle. All she could do was stare at you in shock but you could see her eyes getting glossy and you knew she could cry again at any moment.
“How long have you liked me?” She asked with a slight sniffle. You took a few deeps breaths and calmed yourself down so you wouldn’t yell at her again. “Since the first month we met” you replied simply as she brought her hand up to her eyes and wiped them before any tears could fall out.
It was quiet for a moment, you both didn’t say anything, but you both could feel the tension between eachother. “Why didn’t you tell me?” Tara asked, finally breaking the akward silence. “Because you have a boyfriend?” You responded as Tara nodded and looked at the hard wooden floor in front of her. “And because I already know you don’t like me” You added, and for some reason, your sentence made her pick her head up and look back at you as if you had just lied about her.
“Am I wrong?” You asked and she gently bit her bottom lip like she was preventing herself from breaking down. She didn’t give you an answer, not a nod or a head shake, so you asked again. “Tara.” She looked up at you and slowly shook her head.
You already knew she didn’t like you but for some reason, seeing her confirm it really hurt. It was like a stab in your chest. You couldn’t stand there anymore and pretend like it didn’t hurt but you also just couldn’t be by her anymore. You grabbed your jacket and quickly slipped on your slides before you heard her voice again. “Where are you going?” “For a walk.” You replied simply and didn’t even look back at her.
“y/n, you can’t be mad at me. You knew I have a boyfriend” she tried to argue but you didn’t want to hear it. “I expect you to be gone by the time I get back” you said in a monotone voice before you walked to your living room to leave.
You didn’t hear Tara try to stop you and you were honestly glad because you needed the space and it hurt too much to look at her, but as you were walking you just couldn’t stop thinking about how much you envied Jake.
