about me

18, girl, bi, nb

sitting my a-levels (politics, economics, and english literature) and going to uni in the autumn to study politics and international relations

about my writing

i will write pretty much anything, but the main fandoms i'm in and know a lot about are dc and marvel

all of my 'x reader' works have no physical descriptions of race, weight, appearance, etc., so i hope anyone can imagine themselves in it. they are all gender neutral unless they have a specified fem!reader (i.e. weirdo!reader and puppy-like!reader)

i write dark content (fauxcest, dubcon, dddne, etc.), and will continue to do so. if you're not into it, dni :3

about requests

requests are always open, so send me a message :p literally anything you want to talk about :3

i can do emoji anons, so if you think you want to send multiple requests, claim an emoji :)

Hiii I’m new to your writings and I LOVEEE your dex stories I was wondering do you think you could write about if puppy!reader got hurt or something while dex was away?!!

Also is it possible for me to be 🍮anon

hello! i've added you to the anon list :3 also, i fucking love flan and now i'm craving it lol

i also debated greatly if it would be too cliche to have dex refer to reader as 'puppy' as a term of endearment, and i still don't know >_<

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

dex had been out of town for just a few days. he missed you so badly, but at least you were still send him incessantly frequent messages.

he'd wake up to at least five texts every morning, and the poorly typed messages wouldn't stop throughout the day. towards the end of his trip, though, you started sending even more, which dex didn't think was humanly possible.

youre coming back soon right?

i miss yiu you better be coming back soon!!

you said todsy right???

could you briny me some ice crram?

vanilla pls

i miss you i cant wait to see you tony!!!!!!

by the time dex had made it back to new york, he already had a couple pints of your favourite ice cream and was more than excited to see you again. he'd missed your excessively enthusiastic and playful demeanour, regardless of how often he liked to pretend that it tired him out.

his heavy-handed knock echoed throughout your apartment and he was greeted by a loud "it's open!"

he wasted no time crossing the threshold and hastily locking the door behind him.

"why the hell is your door unlocked? you know that's insanely dumb, don't--"

his light reprimand was cut off by the sight of you hobbling towards him on crutches, your left foot in a cast. it was a cute pastel blue colour and covered in signatures and doodles.

your smile was still ridiculously bright and chipper as you looked up at him, despite seeming like you might topple over at any moment.

"hi, tony! i missed you soooo much! you've got the ice cream, right? you want some? we can eat it together!"

your candidly eager disposition enamoured him, as always, but he couldn't help but feel a little (or, rather, extremely) hurt that you got hurt and didn't tell him! after cooling down and taking some time to reflect on his behaviour patterns—a practice that he'd only recently started—he'd be able to admit that offence isn't a normal response to a situation like this, but he just couldn't understand how you could've been texting him all this time without telling him you were injured.

"baby, what the hell happened to you?" he asked in the tone of a concerned man seeing his partner after losing a fight with a grizzly bear, which was very much not the case.

you smiled at him in slight confusion, as if you couldn't understand why he was confused. "i broke my foot. or fractured it. i don't really remember what the doctor said. why do you ask?"

he ignored your redundant question and continued his interrogation. "what. happened."

"i was doing a movie marathon and i sat for soooo long my legs fell asleep, but i didn't realise! i just got up from the couch and my legs kinda gave out and i rolled my ankle. so i guess i broke that? i don't really know..."

dex stared at you in bewilderment, a level of which he had never experienced before. he listened to you ramble on about an injury you sustained and didn't tell him about in all of the messages (literally hundreds) that you had sent him whilst he was away.

he wordlessly scooped you up in his arms and carried you to the godforsaken couch, laying you down delicately before stalking over to the kitchen. "why didn't you tell me? i would've come back earlier and looked after you." he returned with a bowl and two spoons, one which you grabbed with an exceptionally gleaming smile and dug straight into the ice cream tub, not caring for the bowl at all.

"i only got back from the hospital this morning," you began with a mouthful of ice cream. "i texted you in the taxi back here."

"you what?!"

you looked up at him, confused again but laughing softly. "are you alright, tony? you're acting kinda weird."

"me? i'm acting weird? i am?"

you swung your legs over his lap and dex startled like you just risked mobility of both your legs for the rest of your life. "look at the cast. they let me choose the colour, and then the nurses signed it for me, and then mimi signed it—she drove me to the hospital. then--"

"you need to promise you'll tell me if you ever get hurt, as soon as it happens. no matter where i am." your flippant demeanour scared dex into thinking that he was an almost expendable factor in your life; you'd called a friend—an acquaintance, really—to take you to the hospital, and he didn't find out until he came home to you! "promise, sweetheart."

you nodded enthusiastically, blissfully unaware of his internal dilemna. "i promise, tony." dex watched you shove another spoon of ice cream in your mouth before wincing at the feeling of it against your teeth.

"wow, it's really cold. but so tasty! thanks, tony!"

he smiled shyly and nodded as he ran his hand up and down your leg. "any time, baby."

brendon park x reader x emma nolan (this au will get a title soon) headcanons:

- reader is the worlds biggest brat and it drives brendon up a wall

- emma loves it bc shes too sweet engage in readers antics but she finds them entertaining

- reader had a MAJOR party girl era, drinking, smoking, drugs, and it makes emma and park sick thinking about it😭😭😭

- reader is in school of some kind (non-healthcare related!!!) and is a bartender/server

- emma loves doing readers hair, she finds it therapeutic!

- reader is a sad girl and it KILLS emma and brendon

- i think emma and brendon were already together and they met reader at a work get together where reader was working

- she def feels like an addition and not an equal part of it

- she pretends it doesn’t bother her but it very much does so she goes MIA for days at a time

- park is NOT mean to emma at work but he is nonchalant final boss

- he just loves nurses though idk

- he loves having his two docile girls at all times when he’s not working

- his little deer and his little lamb :((((((

- he calls reader bambi and she teases that it’s unoriginal but he doesn’t care, he also uses “sweetheart”

- he calls emma any name under the sun, but he is really fond of “em”

- brendon is normally just “bren” or “b” or “doctor” (jokingly)

- sometimes reader threatens getting a phd so she can also be doctor (but by the time she’d be able to start a phd they would already be out of the picture)

- emma calls reader “baby” or “angel”

- reader and emma are bffs & gfs so they gossip and paint each others nails and shop together but also scissor LMAO

- reader met park and felt like he was a really strict dad at a sleepover LMAOOOO

- the first night she stayed over emma was asleep and reader wanted water so she trotted downstairs and brendon was awake and reader asked him “emmas dad, can i get water” and she thought it was the funniest thing

- he did not.

- reader is a year younger than emma!!!

- emma had trinity ask reader for her instagram at the bar and then she and bren stalked her the SECOND they got back to his place

- emma wants her to see michigan so bad but she says no every single time

- bren also wants both of them to see his hometown (it’s a suburb of boston in my headcanon) and she also declines

- she just has one foot out the door #likemefr

Never ever forget that.

[duchess0fmalfi]

my view when i write fics btw

a request i'm working on :0

[mombreaker]

if youre an older woman you should really sexually humiliate yourself and whore yourself out for horny younger girls on the internet. its good for them & you :3

[orchidsgrowfromthesoul]

someone: so who do you crush on in peacemaker?

me: yes

[holy-minseok]

... FOR THE WRITERS <3

Not all of the people reading your x reader fics have white skin

Just a gentle reminder before you write characteristics that assume whiteness and exclude your black/indigenous/poc supporters-specifically in 'x reader' works.

I love and appreciate writers, but this is a recurring avoidable issue (going on for decades now).

"your dusky pink nipples" "your face turned just as red as his" "he could see the blush on your face" “your cheeks furiously blushed” “your ears burn bright red” “The look in your reddened face” “your knuckles white with effort” “bruised purple against your light skin”

Describing the physical feeling instead of the visual change helps include your readers while also elevating your writing IMO.

Anyone can say "Your cheeks turned red with embarrassment" or "Your face flushed" but wouldn't you rather say "A burning heat rushed across your face, from your neck to the tip of your nose, prickling right underneath the surface. You look anywhere but him, hoping your newfound interest in the buildings ceiling tiles will ease the fire tightening beneath your skin" And instead of the other character pointing out that the readers face is red, they can point out the obvious flustered facial expression/body language.

If you want your reader insert to have white/fairskin, then just label them white!reader or put the mention in the warnings/summary.

↪I have reached out to writers I favored/supported before and sometimes I have been met with severe hostility and defensiveness. I often wonder if people are doing this purposefully or for some reason think only white people read their fanfics (?)-if that's the case then be upfront and label your reader inserts as white!reader or something PLEASE. It’s gotten to the point where I feel like black women and other POC aren’t wanted or considered in these fandoms because it comes off like that in your writing. If you need a different motivation, just know you're missing out on more interactions, reblogs, and a bigger reader base. I don’t know why white is the default for so many writers in unspecified x reader/reader insert fics-the people on your blog following, reading, and supporting you aren’t all white and fair-skinned.

I am not talking about OC fics or fics where race/skintone is x specified in summary or warnings. This is specifically about unspecified "x reader" where whiteness is assumed as the default

Put in the comments good replacements for writers to use!

men come and go but x reader fic is forever

personal pet peeve of mine is dc text posts where grown ass superhero men are typing like chronically online gen z teenagers

[duchess0fmalfi]

i loved the vigilante reader! x dex!! i cant stop thinking about a reader thats like deadpool and just kinda crazy and cant die 😭 lowkey perfect for dex

i wholeheartedly agree, anon. as always, i will shamelessly link my masterlist with the rest of my dex posts, including the previous one with vigilante!reader :3

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

after showing up in dex's apartment and waxing lyrical about how much you admired his work around the city, he became much more accustomed to you showing up in places he wouldn't expect you.

you were always doing something you probably shouldn't be doing, too. things that any adult with two brain cells to rub together could tell was senseless.

several times had dex caught you in the middle of trying to kill as many as ten avtf agents equipped with significantly more firepower than you. in fact, it wasn't unusual for dex to find you using nothing but a hunting knife that looked poorly designed for such labour, but you didn't seem to care.

dex knew that you didn't have the same level of precision as he did when it came to throwing shit—not even close. but you seemed quite adept at hand-to-hand combat, he painfully had to admit. you walked away from fights with just a few scuffs and a bright look in your eye, like you'd just won the lottery.

what dex particularly looked forward to was you sneaking up on him. at least once a week, he'd turn around after disassembling a sniper rifle or walking away from a massacre and you'd be right there. always with your mask on and your wide eyes blinking up at him before you'd slip off the fabric and flash him your full grin.

"hey, bullseye. dex. bullseye? dex?"

one such day you asked him which one he preferred.

"i mean, bullseye is a sick name, y'know? obviously you know, you chose it. or did you? did you choose it or did you kinda get it bestowed on you?"

the talking was incessant with you, but dex grew to love it. he never really said much, but he listened with such rapt attention like you were telling him the secret to life.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

one evening, you had followed dex to a rooftop after you spotted him up there. he hadn't shot anyone, surprisingly. he just watched. you were unfamiliar with this seemingly passive side of the vigilante.

dex heard your footsteps impacting on the roof as you approached him but he didn't move. not yet. he waited for you to pause beside him before glancing in your direction.

"hey, dex." as always, your slipped off your mask and smiled at him in the consistently disarming way you perfected. dex wondered if you had ever looked at someone else like that; a fleeting but nonetheless agonising surge of disgust coursed through his body, top to bottom.

he shelved his thoughts away in a part of his brain he never intends to visit and gives you a brief "hi".

"i was just in the neighbourhood, thought i'd say hi."

dex was almost alarmed by the casual nature of your assertion, his head almost whipping to look at you. once again, he saw the shit-eating grin on your face. ah. a joke.

"why do you do that?" he blurted out. the question had been on his mind for a while. as long as he had known you, really. he couldn't wrap his head around somebody knowing him—his crimes, his lifestyle, his background—and willingly hanging around him, not to mention with such enthusiasm. he finally let the question slip and waited anxiously for a response.

the smile on your face didn't shift a millimetre, but the glint in your eye he'd only seen after you knew you fought a good fight made another appearance.

"i like you. don't ask me why. i'll tell you when i figure it out." and with that, you made your way down the fire escape. just before you slipped out of sight, you threw him another glance over your shoulder.

"we should do this again sometime!"

dex's gaze stayed fixed on the last spot of the railing you'd held onto before sauntering down. he didn't know what answer he wanted, but he thought he could do with the one he received.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

this is kind of a nothingburger, but i think i'm vamping up to make vigilante!reader x dex a full series with each post being longer than the posts i usually make :3

nothing feels worse than posting headcanons thats a little too niche and not getting a single interaction after an hour.
