ok so we know abt rodion and nikto. but what about. nikto. and rodion. what does nikto think abt rodion.

man... everything? he feels a lot of different ways about him. that i have a lot to say about so im putting this under a readmore

so, its just as important to him as it is to rodion that hes Much younger than nikto and hes so fresh in this environment of war. nikto likes the power dynamics he likes that rodion looks to him for that comfort & learning especially. its not healthy, but many of the ways nikto looks at rodion are not healthy. there's a lot of wanting to Own rodion and leave a mark on him. and its like. so many of their issues stem from nikto constantly thinking about how if he Wasn't Him as he is Now if he was him from Before becoming Nikto their relationship would be so much different. he believes if he was just a hot, older man rodion would have been attracted to him immediately, fucked him immediately, but also seen a notnikto-nikto flirt around and fuck others and never felt like They'd need a relationship.

he's so stuck on thinking that rodion Only wants him because he feels like he can also baby Him because nikto is so visibly fucked up and Needs Help. he feels resentment about like a perceived pity even if rodion has never actually shown him pity. he does not feel attractive and worthy of someone Wanting him (esp not someone so conventionally attractive and easily likeable) so the fact that rodion does is conflicting to him. and also all of this is working against him.

but so much of this is internal and not known or only vaguely known to rodion. its also just not always on niktos mind. he does disassociate, and he does have good days esp if rodion is keeping his mind off things. its when he has bad days that these things come between them. when theyre not hes just like.. enamored w rodion. hes a great guy. hes very charming, very pretty. nikto enjoys being able to put his hands on him, to hold on to him in his room with him. he's funny and he matches nikto's humor. nikto Likes that He finds him funny. rodions confidence is intoxicating. the fact that through it all he really isnt scared of nikto is so.. like... it Is actually comforting to nikto. its very humanizing in a way he wouldnt recognize but he would feel. they have good chemistry between them.

watching rodion come into his own in his work would be fun to nikto. rodion came to spets as a high achiever and even with them having issues rodion would continue that. nikto would have pride in him. plus it would be cute for them to have an actual sparring session where nikto gives him pointers bc hes worried for him bc hes Too young to die 🥺. he does pretty blatantly love him he just does not want rodion to love him back and sometimes he feels the need to punish rodion for this. thats the best way to sum up how nikto feels about rodion

i just wanted to say your hc of ghost living separately from his s/o if he were ever to have one is bloody brilliant. it was such an eye opener..

Aw I'm happy to read you like that hc. it's a bit peculiar but it's something that works when both parties agree; and in his case, it is essential.

alright let's do this. do you have some mace headcanons about his backstory 😳 and early years in the military

YESSS !!! i do 🥺 i keep meaning to make a post about this but i have so many thoughts about him 🥺 #1 hater of the military but lover of guns and violence and being in a militia. OKAY so

parents had him later in life but divorced young, when he was like 5, and his mom came out as a lesbian. amicable divorce, they stay close friends and even-headed about raising mace. his dad stays single but his mom meets a woman she ends up marrying.

his dad is like a self employed carpenter and he does decently well for himself. both of his mother is a professor. his stepmother is a writer. doing well in school was very important in his young life to his parents but not to Him. hes very smart but he does not sit well in a class its hard for him to engage with school work.

he did sports and he was good at them but he never really made any close friends. hes friendly to everyone but not super often hes very involved in his own shit almost exclusively.

i do like to thiinkk he had a girl he was dating like a highschool sweetheart that he stayed with after school. engaged right out of high school which his parents didnt like but he didnt care because he wasnt interested in going to college. which is what they wanted. but neither him nor her went to college

buuttt he wasn't good at holding a job either. he's very headstrong and very vocal and as a younger man he has unresolved anger from feeling pressure to succeed but having no drive.

so. military. he's 20, he applies. his dad is ecstatic. his moms hate it. his fiancee isn't sure about it.

he, personally, really enjoys being able to disengage from his family during boot camp. he feels better in his own little bubble, focused mainly on hard labor. its good exercise, gives his brain a rest. for all these reasons its almost TOO easy to disconnect. he completely ghosts his family. and his girl (even though she's pregnant).

i don't have exact timelines for the rest i just think he generally spent the next few years while in active duty going on sparse contact w his family and struggling with his image of himself. selfish at his core, i do think he struggles w empathy but hes understanding of the world around him and in many cases he understood the people fighting against the boot of the american military. his own boots.

so, like, next step is merc work and obviously hes going into shadow company. better pay but more of the same shit + he has a growing hatred for capitalism and the us govt and just sort of govt in general. its harder for him to connect with his family and harder for him to act like a normal human being bc he has this constant internal turmoil going on so hes mad. hes mad at the state of too many things.

(also think he meets ghost here. they are at this stage using each other as punching bags bc it's sort of like a "youre the only mf in this company who can handle me" type deal. there is real affection there, too, but a lot of it is toxic codependency on having someone to lash out at and hurt.)

but mace isn't like ghost he does not actually want to wallow in self hate and anger forever. so. he moves to africa, clean slate, no more fucking america, back to his roots to reconnect with the type of person he actually wants to be. he meets zane, he joins jackals. 👍 hes a good guy (he is not. he is. he is very complicated.)

wait wait i have a fun question if you dont mind .. how Much does syd know. is she gossipy? prone to "overhearing" conversations/eavesdropping? 🤔

omg.. so for sure shes gossipy. i think she pays close attention to drama and if anyone is Prone to drama she is watching them. if theres a conversation someone is trying to keep private shes going to eavesdrop she cannot Help it it's Fun knowing things shes not supposed to know. i dont think she would Tease people about knowing their secrets unless she actually wants to talk to them about it. for the most part she keeps it to herself and shares with krueger (who shares back with her), wyatt (who shares back), otter (listening for dirt), and rodion (who is like 😳 the entire time bc hes not as much of a gossiper. also. a lot of times it is his drama w nikto. that she is peaking in on.)

macmillan ask.. what headcanons do you have for price and macmillan's relationship w each other...thank you for your service

i think price's pussy has such a death grip on macmillan he will never get out. i dont think price really ever had Respect for anyone hes just smart and knows how to fake it so he stays in and climbs rank. EXCEPT. for macmillan. he has always respected mac bc 🫡 he genuinely likes him. mac is a genuine guy. he seems very fair to me very understanding. young price idolized him but he was young and stupid and in the military so it follows hed have his addictions that mac would help him deal w/cover for him. but he can really see price's potential hed want to foster that and keep him under his wing (and get his dick sucked). and price just. likes to fuck. and he likes mac

i fear no god..share your shepherd nsfw hcs🧎🏼‍♂️

Oh Interesting.. this is fun. shepherd:

well. both reboot and og are pretty lazy. they like to be ridden. og shepherd could at least get up and move but i think if reboot shepherd tried to fuck you with any real effort he would have a heart attack and fall over (this is a good thing. i cannot stress enough how hot this is to me that hes totally useless)

blowjobs under the desk! all the time. any time.

not much for cuddling but he can be bullied into it. he does like to shower immediately after sex if he can but he can be yanked back into bed.

most average dick known to man. literally nothing special about it.

intense w his hands esp an arm grabber. likes to act like hes pinning you but hes literally really not

he is so so lame he literally just wants to cum and get back to work

hi hello there.

🥀😒🕸🔥 for niktodim if you have the time to spare! (sorry they're just so HHHGNG. cannot get them off my mind)

youre so real for that.

🥀 - Do they both get jealous? 

nikto for sure does. rodion only if nikto is giving more attention to someone. other than that hes not very jealous. nikto does not talk to many people

😒 - Do they get jealous easily? 

nikto does like super easy. dont even LOOK at rodion

🕸 - What does one do that scares the other? 

Y'Know theres. a good few things nikto does that spooks rodion. some of his kinks are pretty extreme and sometimes a bit Too much for him. the night terrors are also something that always scares rodion awake even if theyre not in the same room. as for rodion scaring nikto, since hes a little bit fresh and a little bit overconfident and excitable theres times where he sort of rushes out of cover that always makes nikto yell at him

🔥 - Who realized they were interested in who first? 

nikto for sure noticed rodion first bc hes got ass on the brain 24/7
