cw for somewhat graphic self harm and VERY toxic dynamics, please skip this if you're even slightly uncomfortable reading about the topic of self harm and manipulative/abusive relationships
fiction is fun but i do not condone any of this in real life and i urge anyone struggling in a harmful relationship to get out and seek help
inspired by the lovely @lunatic-pudge
I imagine if you're already in a relationship with Tamsy, he's absolutely got you wrapped around his finger. We already know he's exploiting your weaknesses, evil ass man wants to see you at your lowest. There's something about the vulnerability of watching you at rock bottom that gets to him. Once he finds out you self harm, he's internally over the moon. He wants to see you hurt as is, but if you're already hurting yourself then that makes his job so much easier.
This is written with cutting in mind just because it's what I'm personally most familar and experienced with lol
I can't decide if he'd be happier to find out by accident or through you telling him. If he were to walk in on you self harming or cleaning up the aftermath, he's just gotten the best surprise of his life. He has to hold in how ecstatic he is as he coos softly to you and helps you clean yourself up. He's talking some sweet nonsense about how it's alright and he'll take care of you now. If you were to confide in him, he'd feel like the luckiest man in the world. You're really that trusting of him? You've fallen that hard? This might be the best day of his life. Everything you do just pushes you further into his grasp.
If you feel the urge to self harm, he'll encourage you to do it in front of him. If questioned, he'll simply explain that he just wants to be a good partner and support you, he wants to make sure you're not being too harsh on yourself and take care of any injuries. (This is complete bullshit) Once he talks you into it, he'll act so ridiculously sweet, eyes glued to your skin as lines of crimson emerge. He's silent the entire time, just watching you with clinical fascination. Absolutely going to kiss your wounds after, and if you have cuts that are still bloody he might get a little taste... He'll encourage you to do more or cut deeper. Will say all sorts of mean shit to make you feel worse "Oh... that's all?" because this man wants to see you in agony.
Tamsy will, of course, still talk you down when you're done. If you had an awful day, of course he'll capitalize on your coping mechanisms, but he doesn't find much satisfaction in your anguish when it isn't caused by him. Besides, he's gotten fond of how precious it is when you cling to him and beg for reassurance. If there's any blood, he'll clean it up and wash up your wounds, placing a kiss on top of the bandage. He reasons to himself that he just wants to make sure you're fully dependent on him, but secretly he's growing addicted to the cycle of fixing and destroying his sweet angel.
You're chatting with Semiu and suddenly there are arms wrapped around your waist, you're sitting in the passenger seat and one of his hands is glued to your thigh, you fall asleep alone but wake up to a warm chest pressed against your back. Enjin is such a velcro boyfriend and the worst part is it's not even conscious. He follows you around everywhere, would glue his hand to yours if given the option, but still finds clingy people bothersome. Even if you point out how clingy he is, he will not get it. Oh well, why complain anyways?
He originally gained interest in you because of how amusing it was to watch you in social situations. Assuming you're a Cleaner, he gets a kick out of you standing around awkwardly when at a restaurant after a successful mission, ooo or if someone's found an excuse for another party and you're uncomfortably standing around in the corner. Most of the time he has better things to be doing, but you just look so cute when you're fidgeting and shrinking in on yourself. He'll make eye contact just to watch you squirm and look away.
Once he actually gets with you he has the best time pushing your buttons, figuring out what makes you the most flustered and what makes you the most uneasy. Any reaction is a good reaction to him. If you have a hard time telling him things that's even better. He called you a sweet pet name and you liked it? He'll pretend to be dense and make you admit it straight to his face. If you're too nervous to tell him you dislike something, he'll keep doing it just to see how far he can push you, and if you eventually gather the courage to tell him to stop then he'll act oblivious.
If you get anxious about making decisions then he'll happily make them for you! He's just looking out for his sweet angel, Tamsy would never steer you wrong. He'll start by suggesting things, cute things, to come with him to run errands, to spend your evenings curled up with him and a book instead of socializing with anyone else. Tamsy's got you, no need to worry about anyone's perception of you when he's right there to help you out. He knows best when he's choosing your dinner for you, crafting your schedule, even deciding what cleaning missions you go on.
It gets to a point where he'll even start speaking for you sometimes. If you try to protest then he'll try to convince you through perceived kindness. It's something he's doing to take the strain off you, he's just being a good boyfriend!
"No sweetheart, there's no point in stressing yourself out. Just let me handle it, yes?"
"Don't be silly. You'll just embarrass yourself, dearest"
What's the point of talking to other people anyways? Tamsy's got it all under control, so you don't need anyone besides him. He'll play into your anxiety, reminding you how humiliating it'd be if you tried speaking to others, you'd make a fool of yourself and come crying to him anyways! He's just so considerate, such a perfect boyfriend <3
potentially the most self indulgent thing imaginable...
gachiakuta character pokemon teams <3
Rudo
i feel like a bunch of steel types are a given as well as at least a couple object pokemon. I can comfortably give him Skarmory, Klefki, and Yamask, but I'm a little torn between Poochyena and Riolu, but I'm leaning Poochyena!
Zanka
I went veeeery fighting heavy with this, but I'm thinking Hitmontop, Meditite, and Pancham! He has a Kirlia that he wants to evolve into a Galade but it will end up a Gardevoir.
Enjin
he gave me the WORST time, but I feel like he could have an Arcanine. A Staraptor makes sense, primarily for look out purposes during battle. I also felt very called to give him a Vespiquen.
Riyo
Hmm I'm feeling very Lopunny vibes, probably mega evolves. I'm also thinking she'd have a Furfrou because she seems so interested in hair. I'm also going to give her a Liepard because it has lazy vibes and a dark type makes sense considering her past as an assassin. Mostly for fun, but her hair reminds me of the ear tufts of the Fennekin line, so she can have a Braixen.
Gris
I immediately thought Slaking, so I think he's got one of those and a Salamence. My heart also really wants to say Teddiursa...
Tomme
Aipom. I'm sorry but it screams Tomme. I think Blipbug also works considering she's always writing things down for mission reports. I think it makes sense for the support team to have some physically strong pokemon, so I say she has a Hariyama.
Follo
Shuckle. Don't question it. He has an Eevee as well. In the same way he's trying to get a jinki, he's really excited for her to evolve.
Semiu
Oooo okay I'm feeling more like a full team with her honestly. I'm gonna say Noctowl, an owl pokemon makes sense with her glasses. A Lucario and Gardevoir because she kicks ass. An Espeon that acts like a lap cat when she's just hanging around the front reading. And finally a Chatot because we've seen her talk over the PA systems.
Eishia
Audino easy, probably a Blissey/Chancey. I'm not 100% sure how her jinki works, but it's something electrical so I'll give her a Flaafy. For fun, I think she'd also have a Whismur.
August
I'm thinking pretty functional with his team, Mawile immediately comes to mind for vibes and biting stuff. I'm also feeling Leavanny. Either a Dedenne or a Sandile as well.
Corvus
okay I don't have tons of reasoning for him, but i feel like Boltund or really any dog pokemon makes sense. Similarly, Ninetails, plus it has aura. He's strong and locked in so Tauros, Blastoise, and Grimmsnarl. He also has an Anorith because I think it's cute!
Remlin
just Smeargle tbh, maybe they also have a 1st stage starter, I'm feeling Torchic
Amo
I think Oddish is a pretty obvious one, would it be crazy if I said Magearna?
hmo on matching tattoos with enjinπ€€ i lowkey think he'd be the type to get his partners name tatted after a year or two together
Is it really a "hear me out" if I immediately agree with you? Cause Enjin so would do this.
I have so much I want to say about Enjin, a good bit of it is kinda sad though. I'll throw this at you that I will bring up in another post ablut Enjin whenever I make it.
I feel that Enjin wants so desperately to be in a relationship. Something long term, like til death long term. Soul mates basically. He has love to give, but with everything that has happened to him in his life, he's scared to commit to someone. To give your everything to a person, to trust them with your existence, it's such a big act. Enjin isn't sure if that's something he can do. Maybe a serious talk would start to help him open up to it, but it'll still take a while for him to finally accept it and embrace it.
But when Enjin loves someone, he's devoted to them. This man will give you his life if it means you get to live another day. If it means everyone gets to see you smile.
I feel like once he's locked in to making this relationship with you, he's already drawing tattoo ideas.
Enjin fun fact: He cannot draw :(
He'll be sitting there with a little notebook, drawing out ideas, aggressively scribbling out mistakes or one's that wouldn't work out. Man is dedicated to figuring out the perfect tattoo.
Should it be matching tattoos? Should you just get each other's names? Maybe both your jinki (if you're a Giver as well)? All of the above? Or just say, "Screw it." and tattoo your face ON his face? Man is getting DESPERATE.
He ends up giving up on trying to make this some surprise and goes to you for it. I should've said something earlier, but forgot, matching tattoos are basically Enjin's way of giving you a ring. He will still get you a ring, but it's not easy finding a high quality ring here on the Ground, and ring avulsion is real and he'd pass out if he sees your finger degloved cause you got injured on the job or something.
It'll take some time picking out the perfect tattoos for you two to get. You're the more grounded one here cause Enjin is unnecessarily stressing himself out on making sure the design is perfect. The perfect design is created (leaving it up to interpretation), now time to find the perfect artist for the job.
When everything is done, Enjin is crying internally cause this is basically an official marriage to him now. The tattoos have sealed the deal. You two are now stuck together for life. When he sees the ink on your skin, he has to resist the urge to kiss and love all over it (when people are around. When you two are alone, fair game). This is highest point of his life. His best day ever.
Enjin has you, and nothing is gonna take you from him. β‘
There's about 10 years between the two of you, which isn't horrible, but it sure gets a little questioning when you're barely 20. Such a sweet little thing, he felt strange about it at first, especially with how Follo and Tomme look up to him.
He gets such a rush out of being able to protect you, you're his girl, so kind and loving, soft and fragile... he has a habit of babying you just a little. He'd do just about anything for his lover, and considering you're younger thats ramped up extra.
Insists on doing everything. You need to tie your shoes? He's already on his knees. You need to run some sort of errand? He took care of it hours ago. He's always making sure you've eaten, asking how you slept at night, if there's anything at all he can do for you.
Generally in relationships he's incredibly giving. If you have curly hair, he got satin pillowcases a week in. If you have a schedule for medication he's setting reminders, whatever makes his lovelies' life easier.
I'm just gonna say it, he gets off on your perceived innocence
I have a hard time imagining Gris being one for hookups, but he's definitely been in his fair share of relationships over the years. Even if you've been in quite a few, you're still so innocent and precious to him, you're just his sweet baby doll after all.
He thinks you're the cutest thing in world and will tell you all the time! Loves watching you get ready and hearing you talk about just about anything. He finds all of the trends you take part in incredibly endearing. Not even just because he's older, but because functionality always comes first for him, so when you're showing him your new pair of kitten heels or fold over leggings, he thinks it's utterly adorable.
In general he's such a supportive partner to anyone he's dating, but you make him absolutely weak<333
I read ur thing abt tamsy and taking meds and bro π€€π€€ you write so yummy for him. I got this thought after reading it and feel free to ignore this but tamsy with like a smoker reader who he makes hold their breath in little competitions and like lovingly degrades them for not lasting longer then him. This is so so stupid but like hmo
holy shit my first ask im so hyped!! also tysm omg???
I can so see this with Tamsy, he wants to take advantage of any weakness you have, especially if it's something he can poke fun at too. I haven't smoked very much before so feel free to correct me if any of this is wrong <3
He makes fun of your lung capacity all the time and he's so mean about it, if you're a Cleaner then he's always teasing you for being out of breath after a mission. If you ended up getting hurt then of course he'll still be sweet and doting, but won't fail to mention that you could've done so much better without that nasty little habit.
If you smoke to calm down he probably will hide your cigarettes/vape just to watch you get nervous about it. Overall he likes when you're high, makes you more pliant, clingy, and likely to bend to his will. He loves the idea of you being so sweet and mellow that he could do anything and you'd barely care.
Because he's a little shit, he ABSOLUTELY makes you hold your breath for his amusement. He likes seeing you get antsy over what should be "such a simple task" and he'll tell you how good you did for such a pathetic little thing when you inevitably give in first. He might go about a more manipulative route too, because if you can't hold your breath for a few seconds how are you supposed to do anything by yourself.
When you inevitably end up coughing and sputtering he'll coo and stroke your hair, grinning while you're looking away. He loves how weak it can make you, how you'll try to wave it off and act fine afterwards but he'll keep dragging it on just to embarrass you further.
"Oh sweetheart... done already? I thought we were having fun"
"Don't push yourself, there's no shame in being bad at this, angel"
"You're teasing me right, is that really your limit?"
He just wants to watch you fall apart, keep insisting that no, you can do it longer, we can try again, only to cut yourself off by coughing. And of course, he'll allow it, because why wouldn't he want to see his sweet little thing fall apart?
I can so see tamsy withholding your medicine for fun. youre panicking looking for your pills because you were supposed to take them an hour ago and he's just calmly watching, looking almost pleased as you freak out. he loves seeing how anxious you get and will prolong your panic before finally "miraculously finding" the bottle.
I have episodes of my nose closing up and therefore I have medication to stop these once they occur. tamsy has so much fun watching you get so distraught over it, you're telling him it's serious and you can't breathe and he just goes "oh that's unfortunate, angel" or something like that. he doesn't want you to actually be harmed, not severely anyways, so he'll give in and comfort you before retrieving your meds. aren't you so lucky to have a boyfriend thats so helpful?
if you have allergies he might try to cause an allergic reaction, put a small amount of whatever you're allergic to in your food. if you're allergic to some sort of plant then youre safe, for now. I'd say it depends on the severity of your reactions, you get a little uncomfortable, maybe some itchiness or getting sniffly? he's pulling this shit so often. he loves seeing you so weak and vulnerable, so reliant on him to save you. if your throat closes up or you experience real pain, he'll do it much less often, although he always wants to be the one to administer your epipen, holding you so gently as he stabs your thigh with it.
"aw, its alright sweetheart... i've got you now..."
"see, you're alright. wasn't even that big a deal, huh?"
"being so dramatic again... don't worry, I'm here"
i promise i'll get to work soon... currently on a road trip that has me incredibly thrown off
however in the meantime...
enjin and his hands... i imagine he runs so warm, and his hands absolutely radiate heat. large enough to engulf your waist no matter your size. he keeps a hand on the small of your back to guide you through crowds, rests one on your hip when casually talking with someone. after a long day or a rough cleaning, he'll even run his hands through your hair, gently working out any tangles and rubbing at your scalp. he's such a grabby lover, always needs to have his hands all over you <33
