Sono ormai tre anni che questa trilogia War for Cybertron è una vera e propria rimpatriata G1, alla quale anche i Beast Wars/Biocombat si sono autoinvitati con la scusa di festeggiare il loro venticinquesimo compleanno. E nel “minestrone” della terza parte KINGDOM può addirittura capitare di incapparsi in personaggi che non c’entrano nulla col cartone animato Netflix ma che comunque hanno fatto la storia dei TF G1 come Inferno, Huffer, i ripescati dal film del 1986 Cyclonus e Galvatron... e persino questo TRACKS, famosissimo guerriero/detective Autobot un po’ modaiolo e un po’ Narciso, protagonista delle memorabili puntate Sulle tracce di Tracks e Auto-Rock della Stagione 2. Nonostante la popolarità, di lui abbiamo avuto solo un’altra comparsata in animazione (Stagione 3 Animated, in forma Cybertroniana), così come pochissimi modellini prima del WFC, a parte il modellino originale del 1985: si conta l’Alternator, ma anche il Generations del 2010 che però era un remold di Wheeljack, per poi passare al rispettabilissimo Masterpiece del 2014 reso famigerato per lo zaino fin troppo vuoto. E il KINGDOM Deluxe che stringo tra le mani sarà forse all’altezza del predecessore?
Innanzitutto, come da tradizione, l’altmode del nostro Puma è una CHEVROLET C3 CORVETTE STINGRAY, automobile che più Anni 80 non si può: bellissima, elegante, slanciata e riconoscibile dal cofano lungo. Oddio, non è esattamente una riproduzione dell’auto reale – per quello esiste il Masterpiece, comunque – ma come appare nel settei del cartone animato originale, ovvero semi-realistica e col simbolo Autobot sul cofano racchiuso in uno “scudo” rosso uniforme che dovrebbe imitare il motivo fiammeggiante giallo e rosso tipico del giocattolo G1. Inoltre, qui di simboli Autobot ce n’è uno solo, quello del cofano appunto, e si è evitato di riproporlo anche sul tettuccio in quanto questo costituirà lo zaino del robot. Il Masterpiece invece risolveva in parte questo inconveniente nascondendo il suddetto simbolo con un pannellino a scomparsa perché l’intero abitacolo formava il busto di Tracks.
Per quanto riguarda la colorazione, in generale è un tripudio di un bel blu brillante, tranne nella plastica trasparente celeste dei vetri (lunotto, parabrezza e finestrini), nel nero delle ruote e del radiatore frontale e nell’argento dei cerchioni; a parte quello non si vedono ulteriori dettagli dipinti eccetto nelle due righe bianche sul retro... che in realtà, come vedremo, sono i timoni della Modalità Volo di Tracks, e mi dispiace che siano sì nascoste e a filo con la carrozzeria ma antiestetiche, mentre nel Masterpiece erano sottili come carta e non rovinavano le linee del modellino. E a proposito del retro, anche qui nessuna traccia di colore nei fari o nella targa, ma volendo il perno metallico sul fondo potrebbe essere scambiato per una terza marmitta dell’auto o il propulsore della modalità volante.
Trattandosi di WFC, Tracks si presenta con almeno tre/quattro porte per le armi: due sul retro e due all’altezza dei parafanghi anteriori. Qui è possibile innestare l’iconicissimo doppio lanciamissili, purtroppo completamente bianco e non con la base nera e adesivi annessi come in passato, e a sua volta presenta un foro in cima, quindi si può riporre lì anche la pistola di Tracks – il cui design è una via di mezzo tra il G1 e il Masterpiece, ovvero nera come il giocattolo ma sputata al settei. E sempre di Masterpiece si parla guardando il disguise da dieci e lode, poiché effettivamente non vi è alcuna traccia del robot neanche se lo si guarda da sotto... caso più unico che raro in modelli di questa linea! 😍
Ovviamente Tracks non sarebbe quel Tracks senza la sua celeberrima MODALITÀ VOLO, che consiste nel sollevare i timoni bianchi dal retro dell’auto, sganciare le portiere ed estrarre i moduli prima in fuori e poi paralleli ai fianchi, avendo cura di separarli dalle ali e di ruotarli di 90° (quindi con la decorazione gialla e rossa verso l’alto). In questa forma il nostro guadagna altre due porte per le armi – essendo le future braccia del robot – e l’estetica in sé è una fotocopia del Masterpiece, che a sua volta ricalca il settei. L’unico neo, parafrasando il mio collega @jazzluca, “di tutto questo ben di Primus” sono i timoni e le ali non dipinti: cioè, è troppo chiedere qualche dettaglio colorato in più per richiamare gli adesivi del G1 o, al limite, i dettagli stilizzati visti nel cartone? E non sarebbe stato un crimine, come nel Masterpiece, aggiungere dei perni per assicurare le braccia/prese d’aria ai fianchi dell’auto invece di lasciarle “penzoloni”? 😒
Vabbè... passiamo ora alla TRASFORMAZIONE, che di fatto è un copia-incolla semplificato di quella del Masterpiece. Partendo già dalla Modalità Volo, le braccia sono praticamente belle che fatte – basta solo ritrarre i timoni, ruotare in fuori le mani e portare in su le ali. Ora sganciamo i parafanghi anteriori per avere più gioco nella separazione del cofano, quindi solleviamo e ripieghiamo su se stesso l’intero blocco della cappotte, ruotiamo il tutto di 180° e agganciamolo sulla schiena. Apriamo gli stinchi e ruotiamo di 180° i piedi e i parafanghi stando attenti a non incastrarci nel bacino, quindi distendiamo le gambe e – una volta aggiustati i piedi – assicuriamo i pannelli tramite un mini-perno dietro al ginocchio. Ruotiamo il busto di 180° e slittiamo in avanti il finto petto del robot; per concludere, collassiamo il tutto via doppio perno e blocchiamo le metà superiore e inferiore tramite una clip e un perno sull’“ombelico”.
Come ROBOT Tracks, è proprio il caso di dirlo, è un piccolo capolavoro. Sputato al Masterpiece di sette anni fa con le tecnologie attuali e nella taglia di un Deluxe che è in scala con tutti i suoi colleghi WFC – tanto per essere pignoli, è alto un pelo in più dei Fratelli Lamborghini Sideswipe e Sunstreaker ma allo stesso tempo rispetto a un Optimus Prime Tracks arriva almeno sotto i pettorali. Non si tratta di un errore, anzi: il fatto di essere alto e magro rientra nei canoni del personaggio, e anche in questo caso Hasbro ha pensato bene di fare affidamento alla scala ufficiale dell’85 – quindi, direi che siamo nella media. E a proposito di settei, Puma qui sembra effettivamente uscito dal cartone animato con la tipica livrea blu-grigio/nero-bianco e la testa col casco bianco e il volto rosso fuoco, ma ha la licenza poetica dei piedi neri, mentre invece sappiamo bene che sono bicromatici grigio e blu. Inoltre, presenta dettagli scolpiti degni del G1 classico ma non colorati (come le ginocchia, i piedi o le ali, per esempio); viceversa quelli degli adesivi sui guanti e sulla cintura sono ridotti ai minimi termini; nulla da obiettare sul classico riquadro giallo col simbolo Autobot rosso sul petto, comunque! 😅
Non noto alcun difetto estetico grave, a parte il solito vuoto dello zaino... che, per carità, è già di suo abbastanza compatto e schiacciato, quindi non dà neanche tanto fastidio. Può semmai storcere il naso quello delle caviglie e delle braccia, ma ancora una volta sono difetti “funzionali”: nel primo caso, il piede non avrebbe abbastanza spazio per la trasformazione delle gambe nel cofano dell’auto; nel secondo è una caratteristica comune di molti Deluxe WFC, perché in quella cavità vanno riposte le mani durante la trasformazione. Per quanto riguarda la posabilità, il nostro può benissimo essere spacciato per un’action figure: degni di nota in tal senso, infatti, i balljoint su collo e caviglie, perni a braccia, gomiti, gambe e ginocchia (questi ultimi due possono piegare in avanti sollevando un poco il gonnellino) e, come ciliegina sulla torta, la rotazione del bacino.
E come spesso accade con questi Bot, anche Puma è tutto “bucherellato” per via delle numerose porte per armi. Dando per scontato i soliti fori alle mani, già abbiamo visto quelli sui guanti, sulla schiena e sulle gambe/parafanghi, ma dobbiamo pure menzionare anche quelli presenti su ciascuna spalla, in modo che la pistola possa essere brandita come un cannone à la Sideswipe o Wheeljack, e anche quelli immancabili sotto i piedi. Oh, e anche il foro sul cappuccio in cima alla testa, ove installare il doppio lanciamissili come vuole l’iconografia classica del personaggio.
Tornando alla domanda iniziale... sì, questo è sicuramente il meglio che Hasbro ha tirato fuori per Tracks, dopo il bel Masterpiece e l’umile Generations 2010, e ancora una volta i fan delle auto “stilose” come questa saranno sicuramente contenti di portare a casa una versione moderna della bella Corvette tanto da guardare quanto da maneggiare, con pregi che sovrastano sui difetti. Ebbene sì: il buon vecchio Puma è tornato in città, e anche stavolta ha spaccato l’obiettivo col suo stile elegante e impeccabile! 😍
• Blaze’s strong need to keep hold of her responsibility as the princess of her kingdom was due to her strict father, the emperor. He kept her isolated throughout most of her childhood.
• She was taught swordsmanship as even though she can master her pyrokinesis, it’s still part of the royal tradition for her to learn.
• Whenever her mind is feeling stressed, she goes down to the beaches to meditate or quietly read a storybook under the trees, only temporarily though.
• Every time she sneezes, her ponytail grows into a burst of fire; it’s even worse when she catches a cold.
• As much as she’s embarrassed to admit it, but Blaze has a bit of a sweet tooth. She loves it when Amy and Cream share desserts with her although she attempts to hide it.
• Her favourite genre of books are romantic novels (the nicely written ones of course) she can get lost within the bittersweetness of the stories, to the point when Marine thinks she’s ignoring her.
• The reason why she’s scared of heights is due to her chasing a butterfly up to the highest top of her castle once as a child… she nearly slipped off.
Bonus one w/ Silver
• Somewhere, sometime, the Sol Emeralds called her once again to Sonic’s dimension only to see everything in flames. There she met a white psychic hedgehog and agreed to stay around until she can find some answers for her own.
You knew him when you were an assistant under Dr. Ziegler
One day you saw Genji with no limbs and half dead
So you helped Dr. Ziegler attach him
During the process, you thought that Genji was kinda cute and very handsome
Continua a leggere
Can you do more relationship fluff HCs with blackwatch and fem s/o? I love your other blackwatch work! Thanks!!
Genji loves to go out, but in his Blackwatch era the days of arcade games and goofing off are at an all-time low
However, he loves to hike.
He feels in his time of getting used to a cybernetic body, he has lost touch with himself.
Being out in nature helps him find peace whereas being in Moira's lab cannot
He doesn't really camp and spend the night too often though with you he'll pack a couple hammocks and find a nice campground
He'll pull you in with him a set you in his lap and pull out a book all while having his arms around you
Occasionally if you're cuddled against his chest, he'll pull you up to kiss you, and he'll have his body cybernetics heat up to keep you warm if the day grows cold
Genji doesn't necessarily eat, but Angela made it so he's able to enjoy small amounts of food
This means S'mores!
He enjoys them, but he likes feeding you them and laughing at the chocolate and marshmallow mess on your face
you did the same to him and it was one of the first times you've heard him laugh whole heartedly and man was that a majestic feeling
On the side, another hobby he's picked up is wood carving
Genji loves to make little statues for you, whether it's of dragons or foxes and if you're lucky he'll make a little inscription
Doesn't really have technology, but he does own a Wii?
Wii sports date night with the cowboy who's weirdly good at Wii bowling
Cassidy jokingly calls himself a gamer, but even a junker with -1 braincell could see he's not
The moment you buy Mario kart Wii and beat him over and over he's on his KNEES begging to play something else
REFUSES TO PLAY RED DEAD REDEMPTION NO MATTER HOW GOOD THE GRAPHICS ARE
Like I said in other post, while He can't barbeque his specialty lies in making comfort foods like corn bread, BBQ beans, mashed potatoes, and a basic pan seared steak.
On days your sick he'll whip up a hot tomato bisque with some bread on the side
Cassidy would love if you'd join him in the kitchen, meal preparation is always a pain in the ass
Going out, another thing he likes to do is go to carnivals, though he hates rollercoasters of any kind
He just likes showing you all the cheats to the unwinnable games
Not because he's scared, he just gets sick on them very easy
ok fine he's scared, I tried to cover for him but no he's a scaredy cat
If the day is free and slow, he's totally ok with chilling at home and holding you on the couch
Beware his beard tickles you during most kisses
Likes to wrap his poncho around you and put his cowboy hat on you
Definitely can't resist to kiss you when he sees you in his clothes
matching western outfits YES!
Such a weeb, and you'll know it after many nights in her lab
Watches anime while doing trivial experiments or documenting her results and she'll have you right there with her
When she goes home, she takes you with her and in all honesty she way too tired to cook so expect some take-out and a bottle of wine
Dinner is usually pretty animated; home is a place where she feels open to talk to you about her frustrations and excitements and she knows you'll listen and take to heart what she says
Make-out sessions with wine-stained lips, moira's pretty saucy milf don't sass me anon
Her corrupted hand pains her though she doesn't show it in front of others
Having you near her helps distract her form the pain ahd you and turn just puts some heat packs in the microwave and hold them against her arm
Occasional affection, but not much and that mostly stems from her fear of hurting you
Won't hesitate to kiss you though
absolutely no PDA
Long chess matches, she likes to play wits against wits
insert another wine-stained make out session here after you lose a match
her haughtiness after a winning makes her this way
She loves to style hair; it helps her unwind and she's rather good at it
same goes for nails, honestly, I can't paint nails for shit, but know that moira can and she will do yours in a heartbeat
SPA DATES
I have this image of moira with a cucumber mask and i can't get it out of my head god damnit
Big man. big arms. big cuddles
Sparring matches at HQ! Helps burn off energy and Afterwords he likes to head home with you
karaoke night, he probably finds some songs to sing in Spanish to woo you
Definitely a dancer, and won't take no for answer if he drags you out onto the floor
His thighs save lives
pulls you into his arms and sways to the beat
Twirls then dips you (the crowd gasps)
type of guy to have a rose in his mouth tbh
On the drive back he' gets drive thru and you two are laughing your asses of on the standup comedy radio
Gabriel occasionally takes you to this seaside cliff where he goes to contemplate and reflect on his decisions.
It's late at night and with the bags of fast food in his hand and a flashlight in the other he takes you to the top.
Once Gabe finds the spot, he finds the remnants of an old campfire and starts a fire and a couple worn plastic chairs are already set around the fire
You two are chowing down on fast food burgers and fries, and he reaches over with one arms and pulls you to his side
After finishing he puts out the fire and the stars become clearer than ever and looking over the cliff, the waves glow blue with bioluminescence
Gabriel smiles warmly at you and wraps an arm around your waist and brings his lips to yours
His kisses warm you up as the ocean breeze blows past the two of you
A/N: Not as much as the last one, but I pulled what I could from my brain to write more for the Blackwatch crew
GENJIS HC'S PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE 🙏🙏 SFW AND NSFW IF YOURE COMFORTABLE 🙏🙏
SFW
he doesn't like cuddling until he realises he's okay with his body again
he loves music and soft clothing/blankets
when he is meditating he prefers to be in the presence
besides the letters he writes he likes to sketch random things to help his mind calm in other ways
he doesn't accept gifts often but if its an assortment of coloured pencils or markers he may have been looking at he'll smile toward his feet and thank the gifter vigorously
prefers to listen to people rather than talking himself
NSFW
prefers to be in control so he can make sure he doesn't hurt himself or whoever he's spending this time with
he's gentle almost too gentle
it's aggravating sometimes but he just wants to keep you safe
it has to be in a comfortable spot otherwise he refuses
"is this okay? if there is any sort of discomfort i will stop"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I LOVE GENJI SO MUCH
Hiding Underneath the Sheets
OW Hazard x Reader (Slight spice at the end)
A/N: I wanted to do a lil comfy fic again but with a hint of spice at the end to test the waters (I’m still not ready to write smut)
Summary: You have sometime for yourself at the hideout but turns out your not alone
The Phreaks’ lair had a strange kind of charm: a mix of grunge, neon lights, and chaos that only a group like them could pull off. Tonight, it was unusually quiet. The others had decided to hit up some underground party downtown, leaving you in the lair by yourself. You’d stayed behind, citing the bitter chill of the evening as your excuse. Wrapped in layers of blankets on the oversized couch in the living room, you had everything you needed—a steaming mug of cocoa and the lair’s giant projector playing your favorite movie.
You were so absorbed in the flickering images on the screen that you didn’t notice the soft footsteps behind you. A low chuckle broke the silence, sending a jolt through you.
“Didn’t think anyone else was stayin’ in” Hazard’s voice drawled, thick with his Scottish accent.
You turned, meeting his sharp, brown eyes. He stood there with his signature cocky smirk, hands stuffed into the pockets of his gray sweatpants. The dim neon lights from the lair’s decor highlighted his messy blonde hair. You had no idea he hadn’t gone with the others.
“Could say the same about you” you replied, trying to keep your voice steady. “Didn’t think you were the type to skip a party.”
Hazard shrugged, plopping down onto the couch next to you, much closer than you expected. “Wasn’t feelin’ it. Guess I’m nae the only one in hermit mode tonight, eh?” He grabbed a blanket corner and tugged it over his legs without asking. You rolled your eyes but didn’t protest.
The two of you sat in companionable silence for a while, the movie’s glow casting soft shadows on his face. You could feel his presence, almost too aware of the way he lounged—completely at ease, like he owned the place. Not that he didn’t; Hazard had a way of dominating any space he was in.
As the movie’s credits rolled, Hazard shifted, resting an elbow on the back of the couch to face you. “So, what’s yer deal, anyway? Thought ye’d be out there tearin’ it up with the rest of ‘em.”
“Not really my vibe tonight” you said with a shrug. “Besides, it’s freezing outside.”
Hazard’s smirk widened. “Ye’re one of those folk who’d rather cocoon up than brave a wee bit o’ frostbite, huh?”
“Absolutely” you shot back. “Some of us like bein’ comfortable.”
“Comfortable’s overrated” he said, leanin’ a bit closer. “But I’ll give ye points for the blanket fortress. That’s dedication.”
“Thanks…?” You eyed him suspiciously. He had that look on his face—the one that meant he was about to stir up trouble. And sure enough, he leaned back and stuck out his tongue, flashing something you’d never noticed before. Was that... a tattoo?
“Wait, what’s that?” you asked, leanin’ forward to get a better look.
Hazard’s grin turned downright wicked. “Oh, this?” He stuck his tongue out again,showing off a small, intricate design inked on the surface. It was hard to make out, but it looked like some kind of stylized spiked… skull?
“You have a tattoo on your tongue?” you said, incredulous. “Who does that?”
“Cool folk” he shot back, clearly amused by your reaction. “Bet ye’ve never seen one up close before.”
You snorted, trying to act unimpressed. “And here I thought you couldn’t get more ridiculous.”
Hazard’s eyes narrowed playfully, his smirk turning into something more mischievous. “Careful” he said, leaning closer until his face was just a breath away. “Ye keep lookin’ at me like that, an’ I might think ye’re interested.”
You could feel your face heatin’ up, and before you could stop yourself, you ducked under the covers. “Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope!” you mumbled, yer voice muffled by the blankets.
Hazard’s laughter rang out, low and teasing. “Hidin’ now? C’mon, don’t tell me I’ve embarrassed ye.”
“I’m not embarrassed!” you shot back, peeking out just enough to glare at him.
“Sure ye’re nae” he said, his grin widening. Then, with an exaggerated sigh, he shifted closer and grabbed the edge of your blankets. “Guess I’ll hae to come in an’ get ye out myself.”
“Wait, what—” Before you could protest, Hazard slipped under the blankets, his movements swift and deliberate. You tried to squirm away, but the couch didn’t give you much room to escape. In the chaos, you ended up flat on your back, Hazard loom—no, wait—looming over you, one arm braced on either side of your head.
“Caught ya” he teased, his voice low and smug. He was so close you could see the faint freckles on his nose, the sharp glint in his eyes. His cocky grin was firmly in place, but as the seconds ticked by, his gaze flickered down to your face—and froze.
Your cheeks were burning your wide eyes staring up at him in shock. Hazard’s smirk faltered, his usual confidence replaced by something uncertain as he seemed to realize the position you were in. His body was pressed against yours, his face just inches away.
For a moment, neither of you moved. Then, Hazard’s grin returned, softer this time, as his gaze lingered on your lips. “Y’know” he murmured, his voice low and warm, “Ye make it really hard to stay outta trouble.”
Before you could process his words, Hazard closed the distance between you. His lips crashed onto yours in a kiss that was surprisingly gentle, though there was an undeniable hunger behind it. The taste of him was electric, sending a rush through you that left your breath shaky.
Just as you thought he might pull back, his lips began to trail down the side of your neck, slowly, deliberately, pressin’ soft, lingering kisses against your skin. You gasped, your breath hitching at the sensation, and you felt a shiver run down your spine as he continued, his lips warm and teasing against your throat. His kisses were soft at first, almost like a whisper against your skin, but then, they grew more insistent, the touch of his lips making you whimper involuntarily.
Hazard chuckled low in his throat, the sound vibrating against your neck as he kissed his way down further. “Ye’re nae gettin’ away that easy”
His eyes locked onto yours again, a smug, satisfied grin tugging at his lips. “Guess I’m nae the only one stayin’ in tonight after all.”
You were too stunned to reply, your heart hammering in yer chest, as you stared up at him, flushed and trembling from the kiss. Hazard chuckled, brushin’ a strand of hair from your face. “Don’t go hidin’ under the blankets again” he teased softly. “I might just have to chase ye all over again.”
=================
You didn’t remember falling asleep, but the warmth of the blankets and the lingering haze of Hazard’s presence must have lulled you into slumber. When you woke up, Hazard was still sleeping on the couch, next to you. The neon glow of the lair cast faint colors across the room, and the faint hum of machinery filled the silence. Stretching and rubbing the sleep from your eyes, you wrapped a blanket around yourself and shuffled toward the kitchen, craving something to drink.
Boomslang was already there, leaning against the counter and nursing a mug of tea. Her dark curls were tied back loosely, and her sharp, inquisitive eyes flicked toward you as you entered.
“Morning, sleepyhead” she greeted, her Scottish brogue softer than Hazard’s but still distinct. “Didn’t expect tae see anyone else up this late.”
You mumbled something incomprehensible in reply, too focused on rummaging through the cabinets for a mug. You could feel Boomslang’s eyes on you, sharp as always, as you moved around the kitchen.
When you finally turned to lean against the counter, sipping your drink, her gaze narrowed. Her head tilted slightly, a knowing smirk curling her lips. “You’ve got somethin’ on your neck.”
“Wha—” You froze mid-sip, nearly choking on your drink. “What do you mean?”
“Come here” she said, setting her mug down and motioning for you to step closer. Reluctantly, you obeyed, and she reached out, tilting your head to the side to get a better look. Her smirk deepened as her fingers brushed just below your jaw, right over the faint sting of skin that felt far too sensitive.
“Well, well,” Boomslang drawled, her tone laced with amusement. “Looks like someone had a bit of fun last night. Bite marks and hickeys, huh? Dident know ye were the type tae let Hazard sink his teeth in.”
Your face went hot, and you pulled away, covering your neck with your hand. “It’s not—it’s nothing!”
Boomslang raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. “Nothin’ huh? You want to explain why you look like you went a round or two with a hungry wolf? Or do I have to guess?”
You groaned, turning away to hide your face. “He’s such a menace” you muttered under your breath, more to yourself than to her.
Boomslang snorted, clearly enjoying your embarrassment. “But seems like you didn’t mind too much, judgin’ by how your blushing to your ears.”
You groaned again, hiding your face behind your mug. “Not a word to anyone” you warned, your voice muffled.
Boomslang laughed, the sound rich and teasing. “My lips are sealed. For now. But you might want to invest in a scarf. Or explain to the rest of the crew why Hazard’s marked you up like his favorite chew toy.”
Her teasing lingered in the air as she sauntered out of the kitchen, leaving you to stew in your flustered thoughts—and the undeniable evidence on your neck.
=================
You were still trying to process Boomslang’s teasing as you stood in the kitchen, sipping your drink and hoping the heat in your cheeks would fade. The last hing you expected was for Hazard to stroll in, his usual cocky swagger softened by the grogginess of just waking up. His eyes found you immediately, and he gave you a lazy grin.
“Mornin’, sunshine” he drawled, his voice rough from sleep. He raked a hand through his messy blonde hair as he made his way to the counter, grabbing a glass. “Thought ye’d still be curled up oan the couch. Ye move quick.”
You swallowed hard, keeping your gaze firmly on your drink. “Needed something to wake me up” you muttered.
Hazard leaned back against the counter, glass in hand, and gave you a slow once-over. His grin widened as his eyes landed on your neck. “Well, whit d’ye ken?” he said, his tone thick with teasing. “Looks like I left a wee bit o’ evidence, aye?”
Your cheeks burned as you tugged the blanket tighter around your shoulders, glaring at him. “You think?”
He chuckled, pushing off the counter and stepping closer. “Couldn’t help masel’, love” he said, voice lowering with that familiar mischievous lilt. “Ye looked too good no tae leave ma mark.”
You tried to stay composed, but the memory of his lips trailing along your neck sent a shiver down your spine. “You’re unbelievable” you muttered, but the heat in your voice betrayed you.
Hazard’s smirk softened, his mismatched eyes locking on yours. “Aye, but ye didnae mind, did ye?” He brushed his fingers lightly over your neck, tracing one of the marks. “Did it hurt, love?”
You hesitated, the ghost of his touch making your skin tingle. “Not exactly” you admitted quietly.
“Good” he murmured, his tone gentler now, but still laced with his usual charm. “I’d hate tae think I did somethin’ ye didnae enjoy.”
Before you could reply, his grin turned devilish again, his voice taking on that familiar cocky edge. “Y’know,” he said, leaning in close enough that you could feel the heat of him “I reckon ye wear ma handiwork pretty well. Suits ye.”
You swatted his hand away, cheeks flaming as you tried to maintain your composure.
Hazard chuckled “Well, then” he said, gesturing toward your neck with his hand “guess I’ll just need tae work harder, won’t I? But for what it’s worth, love, I think I’m off to a pretty decent start.”
You groaned, hiding your face in your hands, as Hazard’s deep laugh echoed through the room, leaving you flustered and far too aware of the marks he’d left behind.

My Dragon Age Couples
Alistair Theirin x Selky Cousland
a young, playful couple who coped with shouldering the fate of the world by carving out time to have many sweet, silly, and tender moments together
when I think of my Cousland, I'm reminded of a song lyric: "a little innocent, a little naughty" as she lived a sheltered noble life, but found she loved getting her hands dirty--and couldn't keep them off Alistair either
she also gets jealous easily even though she has nothing to worry about since King Alistair is madly in love with his rough-and-tumble, ball-and-chain queen
the legendary, fairytale union between the witty, handsome King Alistair and the pretty, doe-eyed Hero of Ferelden are often gossiped about throughout Thedas
Fenris x Liora Hawke
a serious couple who went through a lot of highs and lows and have many differences, but will always be there for each other
my Hawke is sarcastic and as charming as a politician, but shows her tender side only to those closest to her
she's rather vain about her appearance and her warrior fighting style left her with many facial scars over the years which causes her much dismay
Fenris easily picks up on her self-consciousness and reminds her that she is still the most beautiful woman he's ever seen
Cullen Rutherford x Tauni Trevelyan
a caring, passionate couple who share guilt over finding such a beautiful romance with each other due to the weight of responsibilities and burdens they bear
my Trevelyan is very kind and faithful, which many might consider weak or naive, but it's because of her strength that she can walk a path of compassion
she always gives more than she takes so her tenderness cracked the heart of her beloved commander, allowing him to finally recover from his lyrium addiction
With her a mage and Cullen a former templar, Tauni always ruminated over what he thought about her and she struggled to overcome her reservations despite her deep attraction to him
Cullen's awkwardness empowered Tauni to open up and relax since she found teasing him to be very amusing
Hiii!
I was wondering if u can do hazard dating fem!reader who was in a really bad abusive relationship that she’s having a ptsd attack but thank fully hazards there to comfort reader 🫶
If ur uncomfortable doing this that’s ok!
Omg hey hey hey. Thank you so much for the request! I had a very fun (not) time writing this because the subject is horrible but i had fun making the abuser eat absolute shit tho. If anyone is suffering from an abusive relationship please tell a trusted loved one, i know it is very hard with all the manipulation and everything but you are strong! and you can survive! You can also vent to me if you need to :) TW: Depression, Eating disorder mention, abusive ex, Story will go into detail with mental/physical abuse. PTSD attack, anxiety attack. I have never experienced PTSD attacks or seen anyone having them so i had to go off on what google offers. Sorry if its badly written!!
NOT PROOF READ!!! (3.5k words i think.) - She doesn’t know how this one big sweet hunk of a man had managed to slither his way past her walls. She thought her defenses would be good enough, she thought no one could ever get past them again. But here she is, walking hand in hand with him. He was chattering about his latest adventure with the phreak gang, being so enthusiastic while explaining every little detail. She loved to listen to him, she actually preferred that as well. She was not the one to open up easily about anything, not about her feelings, her needs, nothing. In the past she was in a relationship with this one guy she fell in love with madly. She would have done anything for him, she really loved him. And at first it seemed like he loved her as much too, their relationship was perfect. They were the sweethearts of their college, the perfect couple, always the prom king and queen. He would spoil her with gifts and compliments, he would take her on expensive dates and bring her along on family trips. Everything was just perfect… Then it all changed in a blink. He would stop showering her with compliments and gifts, obviously she wasn’t with him for the gifts and luxuries… But she also wasn’t with him for those cruel insults he would throw her way. He would insult anything she did, he would negatively comment on her appearance and weight. ‘Why aren’t you taking care of your skin as well as Stacey does? I can already see pimples forming on your cheek.’ ‘You should really start hitting the gym. You’ve gained a bit of weight. I don’t wanna be seen with a pig.’ ‘Get yourself together, I have standards to keep up.’ He would always compare her to the other popular girls, those who were the spoiled rotten kind girls. Blondes with green and blue eyes, having the latest designer clothing and bags. All of this really damaged her self-esteem, she couldn’t look at herself in the mirror anymore. All she would see was this hideous monster with all the flaws and imperfections. Worst of all was the fact she knew she should leave him, but every time she tried talking to him he would fire back at her, manipulating her into thinking she needed him and that he was only trying to help her take “better” care of herself. ‘No one would want you in that state, I'm the only one who still wants to help you!’ ‘Please. Do you seriously think any guy would want a pig like you? Be happy I'm even allowing you to stand so close to me.’
And she believed him…
She stayed together with him for at least a year after his cruel personality came to be. Though the insults were not the only problem. It didn’t take long for him to pick up on partying and drinking again with his friends. He would go out to parties, rarely taking her with him, he would make out with other women and sometimes even have one night stands with them. The audacity he had to bring them to HIS house where she also lived. It hurt her so much to see him with another woman. The first time it happened she confronted him the next morning after the random girl had left, she cried out yelling at him. “How could you do this to me???!!” The answer she was met with was a slap to her face. Her eyes wide as she held her cheek, afraid to even look at him again. He started yelling back at her, throwing his hands around in frustration. After many times of asking her to look at him he had enough and took hold of her shoulders forcing her to look at him with her shock filled gaze. “How am I supposed to live with a ridiculous girlfriend who can’t take care of herself AND can’t even fill my needs huh?!!” He yelled at her face, pushing her down on the floor, rubbing the bridge of his nose in frustration. She quickly scrambled away from him, jumping straight into her bed, crying into her pillow. Never in her life did she think he would lay his hands on her, hurt her like that. She doesn’t know why she didn’t just leave right then and there, maybe it was the months of manipulation at that point that still kept her under the roof. Or maybe it was the fact he had also gone as far as to threaten her if she ever left him. She was truly stuck and scared for her life. Her mentality had been scarred for good, she was depressed, she felt lifeless. She wanted to die, she wanted out of this situation. Her eyes were dull, no life behind them. She had developed eating disorders due to his comments and she had stopped taking care of herself all together. Her head was filled with nothing except self destructive thoughts and the need to escape this hell. The emotional abuse continued, and was even worse now. He kept on cheating on her with girls to satisfy his own needs, not bothering to even touch her in any way anymore. In his words she was too hideous to even look at. Not that she really cared honestly, she was glad he didn’t pay any attention to her, but still for some reason he didn’t kick her out. As she was one night scrolling through a social platform, looking at everyones happy lives, imagining hers could be like that as well had shen ever met her bf. She decided to go on his account, see what she was up to, what she saw made her heart break even more than it already was. He was posting a lot about her, acting as if he was her savior, making himself seem like an angel. So this is why he sometimes asked her to pose for a picture, the only
times he would give her small kisses or act sweet, the little hope she had began to get, vanished in an instant. She was only a pawn for him to use, she was a prisoner .It was during a shopping trip that the very thing she had been wishing for finally happened. Her bf had decided to take her out shopping for the first time in months, tired of seeing her in the same pair of clothes. She looked at the clothes in the thrift store, yeah he wouldn’t take her to expensive places anymore, apparently she wasn’t worth more than a few bucks to him. Not that she really cared anymore, she was never worth anything to begin with. After the very short shopping session they walked out of the store. She wasn’t really looking where she was walking and accidentally bumped into someone much bigger than her. She fell down on her ass, dropping her bag in the process. “Oh shit! My bad lassie-” The voice said, clearly someone Scottish. She looked up and oh lord the sight she saw. A very tall and frankly very muscular guy. He had blonde hair, his jawline was strong. He had a very stylish leather jacket on him, he was also pretty much half cybernetic. And his eyes… those beautiful orange-ish eyes, so full of life and energy… the complete opposite of hers. She was about to open her mouth and apologize but was cut off by her boyfriend. “Don’t apologize man, she should’ve been looking ahead.” Her boyfriend scoffed, taking hold of her arm and lifting her up rather harshly. “Cmon, apologize to him.” He demanded of her, giving her that look, she knew she would be in trouble later. “I-Im so sorry mister.. It was m-my bad.” She struggled with her words, not used to talking with other people. “It’s al’right. But are ya okay las?” He asked, one eyebrow raised a little bit after witnessing the way that man talked to her. She was surprised. Someone worried about her? Someone asking if she was okay? No no… He must be talking to her boyfriend. She was about to answer again but was stopped with a hard grip on her shoulder, making her wince. “She’s alright. Now go on mate, don't stick your nose into business that ain’t yours.” Her boyfriend said, turning her around to walk off. “Ay, wait up just a second here lass. Yer partner obviously ain’t feeling too well. And based on what I’ve seen by a minute I don’t think yer treatin’ her correct.” He said, stepping closer,
stopping her boyfriend by holding onto his shoulder. “Get your fucking hand off me. She is perfectly fine with me, right babe?” Her bf asked, threateningly. She stared between her boyfriend and the stranger. This could be her chance to escape from his constant torment and abuse, but the thought lingered, his threats made her hesitate a lot. ‘No no… (Name) this is your time. Who cares about his threats, you NEED to get out.’ Her mind would yell at her. “No.. No i'm not fine! He has been tormenting me for ages… I-I need help, please!” She said loudly, escaping from his grasp, her heart beating so fast. “You little fucking bitch! I’ll kill you-” He yelled out, about to punch her, only to be stopped by the strangers hand grasping his wrist. “Will you shut yer pus and get lost dafty.” He said, the threat evident in his voice. Her boyfriend stared at the stranger, his eyes wide. He let out a yell and went to punch the stranger, only to be met by a cybernetic hand to the face, knocking him out cold immediately. She gasped, looking away from the scene, afraid. “Sorry about that wee yin. Had to teach that scabby lass a lesson. Ya alright?” He turned to stare at her, keeping his distance, not wanting to scare the poor girl more. “I- thank you… Thank you so much…” She cried out. “It was nothin’ Could tell he wasn’t treatin’ ya right. The name’s Hazard, what about yus?” The man said, holding out a hand to give a gentle shake, if she wanted to of course. “(Name..)” She gave a weak smile, accepting the handshake.
- That all happened a good two years ago. It took a lot of time for her to open up to the idea of dating again. Hazard never pushed her into anything, nor did he really talk about wanting to be in a relationship with her directly. Of course from the day he met her, he already felt a certain pull towards her. Half a year after they met and started regularly hanging out his feelings truly became clear to him. She on the other hand felt safe for the first time in her life after they began hanging out, but the fear of it all going wrong again made her very scared and wary of everything they did together. It took her a good year before she realized she liked him, she didn’t know if she should pursue her feelings, and talk to him about him. She didn’t even know if he felt the same, she didn’t know if he would want to date someone as scared and vulnerable as her. After a long talk and feelings shared they shared a deep and meaningful hug, and they began dating slowly but surely. He assured her that every step of the way he would respect her boundaries, he would never initiate anything between them, she would have all the power. She respected that, a lot. A few months into their relationship she was ready to open up more about her past with her ex. She told him how he treated her, how her mental health suffered greatly because of him. How she was still struggling with her self esteem and mental problems because his words and actions would forever haunt her. Hazard listened through everything, gave her warm hugs whenever she started breaking down while explaining her story. Telling her it was never her fault and that her imperfections were what made her beautiful. He helped her get onto her feet, helped her with her eating disorder, getting her back to a healthy weight slowly but surely. Her hair got longer and more healthy, her bones slowly getting covered and her skin becoming more colorful. She still struggled with nightmares to this day, but whenever she woke up in tears he was there to wipe them away and calm her down. At the half year mark of their relationship she finally got the courage to kiss him, to let him hold her in a more intimate way, she loved every second of it. It had been so.. so very long since someone had loved her like Hazard did. He never went further than kissing her sweetly, he never even touched her unless she guided his hand somewhere on her body.
Her thoughts got cut off by Hazard patting her on the shoulder, pointing at the cafe they were supposed to eat at. She smiled at him and they went inside, ordering their food and going outside to eat. “Ay. I’m gonna go use the restroom real quick’ ait bonny?” Hazard smiled at her, giving her hand a reassuring squeeze. “Of course darling, I'll wait out here.” She smiled at him, watching as he got up and headed into the cafe. She stared at the scenery around her, looking at all the people walking around and socializing with each other. She felt so happy with Hazard, she felt lucky that she bumped into him when she did, otherwise she feels she would still be trapped or in the worst case scenario dead. As she bit into her croissant, not really paying attention to her surroundings her ears picked up a familiar voice, her heart stopped for a moment, her eyes widening in panic. That voice… no no.. it can’t be. It can't be! She raised her gaze just slightly to see her abusive ex talking with his now possible partner. A really hot one at that, obviously he would only go for the model type girls. She stared for a moment, a mistake she would soon come to regret as his gaze wandered before landing onto her. His mood shifted, happiness turning into anger. She knew that gaze. The look he would always give her whenever he was angry or disappointed with her, the gaze he had when he laid his hands on her. He said something to the girl before walking towards her. No no no no! She panicked, immediately opening her phone and typing a panicked message to Hazard, hoping he would notice it quick enough. Her heart was racing, her anxiety skyrocketing, all the bad memories crashing down around her in an instant. She flinched as she felt a hand slam down in front of her, she almost dropped her phone in the process too but held it close. “Look what we have here. Little piggy out here eating all by herself. Still haven’t been able to let go of the treats huh? No wonder you’ve gained so much weight again!” He laughed mockingly. She couldn’t answer, she couldn’t look at him, the only thing she could do was sit completely still, eyes glued to the ground, shaking. He got irritated fast by her ignoring him, he took hold of her jaw, forcing her face to turn to him.
She screamed out alerting all the other people nearby, some of them continued on and some just stared. “Look at me when I'm talking to you bitch!” He spat at her. She refused to listen to him, this angered her ex and he was about to say something again, only to be lifted off of her into the air. She stared as Hazard held him up high by the collar of his jacket, anger filling her usually sweet and collected boyfriend. A look she had never seen before, and didn’t want to ever either. Her mind blocked out everything he yelled at her ex, she had stopped looking too, she held her head in her hands, her body shaking uncontrollably, she was about to have a breakdown. She heard the sound of a hard punch being thrown at someone and then a table getting smashed. Some people trying to get in between the fight and stop it. And as quickly as it all started it ended. Her ex was bruised and bloody on the ground, his now current girlfriend trying to wake him up, yelling profanities at Hazard. “Haud yer wheesht hackit. Yer boyfriend had it comin’ should’ve never come close to (name) again.” Hazard scoffed, before turning to (Name), seeing her in such a state broke his heart. “Come on bonny, let’s get outta here.” He said. She could only slowly nod as he took hold of her hand leading her away. The car ride was long and silent, Hazard kept looking at her, wanting to make small talk but he could tell she was in a bad place right now. As they finally arrived home she immediately got out of the car and ran inside her apartment, Hazard quickly following after. The moment she got inside her bedroom she fell to her knees breaking down completely, all the panic and years worth of memories breaking free. She cried out loudly, curling up into a small defensive ball, her body shaking like crazy. She couldn’t breathe, all she could hear and see were the memories. She could only hear her ex’s hurtful words, she could only feel the pain he inflicted on her. She was completely dissociated from the real world, being kept as a prisoner in her own memories. A few seconds felt like minutes to her. She was sweating profusely, her heart thumping against her chest.
Hazard ran into her bedroom, kneeling next to her, he didn’t know what to do. He had never seen this before, sure she had small episodes here and then but this was different. This was so much different. He tried to give her shoulder a reassuring squeeze but was met by her body twitching violently at the touch and her screaming out.
“STOP! DON’T HURT ME PLEASE!” She would yell, thinking Hazard was her ex. “No no no.. Bonny… It’s just me, you’re fine, you’re alright… I’m here.” Hazard spoke in such a sweet tone, trying to get her to calm down at least a little bit. She was still sobbing, still curled up not responsive. He didn’t give up, he talked to her through it all, he didn’t touch her, he didn’t want to trigger another reaction from her. He just talked, he told her about their old memories together having fun and laughing at stupid things. He talked to her about his gang, the things they do and the embarrassing memories of himself.
She was starting to calm down just slightly, her shaking becoming minimal, her loud cries turning into small sobs here and there. He would praise her for doing so good, for being a strong survivor. It had been almost an hour since her episode began and she was finally beginning to calm down enough for her body to relax. She wasn’t curled up into a tight ball anymore, she was still lying on the floor though, still unable to look at him.
“Yer doin’ so good wee yin. I’m proud of ya.” Hazard smiled, breathing out a sigh of relief.
“H-hazard..?” She mumbled out weakly, lifting herself up just slightly to look at him.
“Yeah bonny? I’m here, whateva you need I’ll get it for ya” Hazard said.
“D-Don’t leave me… please just.. just hold me.” She begged.
He didn’t need to be told twice, he didn’t even need to answer as his hands found themselves around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. She sat on his lap, her face in his bare chest, listening to his calm heartbeat, the warmth of his skin soothing her. His hands rubbed her back lovingly, whispering quiet praises into her ear. Her sobs disappeared completely, her body was now relaxed, her heart no longer racing and thumping against her chest. She could feel herself succumbing to fatigue, her vision slowly blacking.
“Tired.. I'm so tired…” She mumbled against his chest.
“I got ya. Let’s get into bed a‘right hun.” Hazard said, as he lifted her from the ground, holding her close.
He got into bed, still holding her close to her, having her almost on top of him. He pulled the covers over her and stared at the top of her head, giving her a small kiss to calm her down more. “Im never leaving yer side alright? Sleep well bonny.” He mumbled, still giving gentle rubs on her back. She felt safe, she could sleep without worrying about anything. She knew Hazard was a good man, she let sleep take her into dreamland. And for the first time in a long long time she did not see nightmares. She only saw Hazard in her dreams, she saw dreams of their future, living out their days together in happiness. A smile decorated her face, a sight that made Hazard's heart jump in happiness. He truly loved this woman to bits, he would do anything for her, Anything.

[Hello My Sexy Readers, I am here with a new chapter this one being another one for the Archive Event. This was Requested BY: _fuyuki_oshiha_ I hope you enjoy!]
(Genji’s POV)
She had been the love of my life, the only one who knew me for me. The one who knew I had fears of never being loved. That I secretly loved anime and not the violent one, the sweet cute ones. That I had a fear of spiders and a fear of failing my family. She had been through it all with me. Always cheering me up and being with me because she was a friend and not what she could get out of me. She made me feel safe and loved and I never got to tell her how I felt about her. I had almost died and now am no longer a man, I am more machine than anything else.
That will be my biggest regret. I sigh and go to the meeting room. Gabriel said an Overwatch Recruit had to get my paper work to Commander Morrison. I make it to the office and placed it down. I go to leave when I hear.
“Genji?” I heard the most enchanting voice which I would never forget. “I-Is that you?”
I turned and looked to see (Name), The love of my lie standing their in strike blue recruit clothes. I was stunned. How is she… I then remember what I am now and turn and run. I could hear her running after me and she tackles me to the ground. On reflex I flipped us over and grabbed her by the throat.
“What do you want!?” I demand. “To mock me for what I become.”
She even though I had her by her throat lifted her hand to my cheek. I could not help but melt into her touch as she stroke my cheek. “Never Genji. I am still your friend no matter what you are.”
(XD Oh Friend Zone XD)
I fall on top of her and hold her close and for the first time in years I cried, All I needed was her. I love her so much and I am not going to loose her. She is mine!
[YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Now should I make a part 2 Comment bellow and stay sexy all my friends ;3)
So Shadow’s loyalty is often forgotten what with the fanon marking him as edgy
and a lone wolf, but it’s there and it makes me mad that people pass it off
because it’s a big part of his character.
But okay so like. Usually most people interpret Shadow’s purpose was to be
made for Maria and to help the world right? Right. So when Maria dies he thinks
his purpose is revenge. WRONG. He gets that epiphany when Amy reminds
him about it.
But that’s not it
Because okay, Maria wanted Shadow to protect the world. And for awhile
maybe Shadow interprets this as “okay I gotta be Mobius’ hero.” But! He realizes
that that place is already taken. Sonic is Mobius’ hero and therefore he is literally
the world. He’s usually the only one that can fix the world when it goes into peril.
(The only other person to ever majorly save the world by himself was Shadow)
so Shadow realizes, it’s not Mobius in general he has to be there for, but Sonic.
The world can thrive as long as Sonic is their world, their core.
In a sense you could say that Shadow sees his new Maria in Sonic. In order for
his purpose to be fulfilled, Sonic needs to stay kicking. That’s why we see in 06
that he literally doesn’t look at him when he’s dead!!! Their world is broken
because Sonic is prematurely gone from it. It’s not until Silver says “we still have
a chance at saving this world!” That Shadow FINALLY LOOKS TO SONIC
WITH A BROKEN VOICE AND SAYS “maybe we could’ve..if he were still alive.”
AND ITS LITERALLY THE LAST STRING IN HIS PURPOSE BEING SEVERED.
Sonic and Shadow were fated to meet for a reason. Shadow was supposed to
meet Sonic because his purpose was to protect the world like a Shadow. HE’S
SONIC’S SHADOW. HE’S SUPPOSED TO PROTECT SONIC SO THE WORLD
MAY REMAIN SAFE.
Like I’m sure SEGA didn’t mean to be that deep and only meant to make them
rivals but SEGAAA oh my god you literally made Maria tell Shadow “you’re to
watch over this world, like a shadow!” And people mistook Shadow!! for Sonic!!
Because he’s Sonic’s shadow!! He’s supposed to watch over Sonic!! Girl if that
ain’t some metaphorical stuff!!
LIKE IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW. SHADOWS LIKE NO NONSENSE
RESPONSES TO SONIC ASKING FOR HELP ISNT JUST BECAUSE THEYRE
ALLIES, ITS BECAUSE HE KNOWS THATS HIS JOB. AND ALSO? ALL THE
TIMES HE PROTECTS HIM FROM GETTING HURT ISNT THAT BULLSHIT
THAT PEOPLE SAY LIKE “oh man it’s because he wants to be the one to kill
him, nobody else can” WRONG. ITS BECAUSE HE HAS TO KEEP SONIC
SAFE
another example of that is him going into hiding upon finding out about Sonic’s
“death” in Forces. Every time this bitch finds out that Sonic’s dead he literally
loses himself. Even if people don’t ship this, it doesn’t have to be seen like that.
Shadow cares deeply for Sonic because Sonic is his purpose.
And that’s the tea.
