Do you have any self insert monster ocs? If you don't, what kinda monster would you be?
I don't actually, but a lot of the reader insert is basically self insert themed. Self-indulgent writing, if you will. But no actual monster themed self-inserts.
Hmm, that's a tricky one because I would love something like a dragon. But that doesn't specifically need to be draconic either. A chimera or a harpy, something with wings, would be cool. But I also adore the ocean, so something oceanic like a kraken or even just a mermaid.
Honestly, I'd be happy as a lot of monsters. I don't have a specific one I'd label or take as a self insert.
A friend of mine once said I'd be something like a sphinx who guards old knowledge or some sort of monster that guards libraries/books. And I do like that as well.
Tentacle Monster! Coworker x Human; Monsters have recently been introduced into society, the coworker joined your company but is having a rough time fitting in because of his monstrous appearance and clumsiness. He develops a crush on his human coworker because they are so kind to him!
Awwww, cutie-patootie monster! Yes!
𖥸
Of course it's his appearance at first. A mass of writhing tentacles that gleam in the overhead lights with every involuntary twitch or flex.
The stigma circling Monsters was fresh and harsh. But when the only scary thing about a Monster was their appearance, the scared Humans start getting bold.
The anger begins because he takes up a lot of space. Once your co-workers figure out that the new guy is actually a bit of a push-over, their behaviors shift towards passive aggressiveness and short patience.
The Tentacle Co-Worker tries his best to be small. Twisting his limbs and appendages tightly against his wide frame to keep from knocking over things when he passes desks.
He apologies a lot. Even for things he didn't do. The moment there is a hint of frustration in someone nearby, he's cowering like a kicked puppy and trying to fix curl in on himself to disappear.
You once passed a desk and glimpsed a thick, colorful limb slither deeper into the shadows. Somehow this very large Monster could fit into any space and be comfortable.
You lasted three hours of watching this poor creature fumble around the building before stepping in. Saving him from a co-worker that had a glint of malice in their gaze.
You didn't let them get a word in before ripping into them about workplace harassment and unfair treatment of Monstrous Entities. Which the entire building had a four hour long training session on only last week.
Once the Human Co-Worker gave up on trying to argue with you, you greeted the Tentacle Co-Worker and introduced yourself. You extended your hand as if to shake theirs...but then realized a handshake may not be appropriate.
"I'm sorry, is it inappropriate to shake your...uh..." Was it ok to say Tentacle? Or was there another word to describe their many arms?
"I-It's ok. Any of them are fine." Your New Co-Worker muttered. A smaller tentacle wrapped around your hand when you offered it. They were warm and didn't feel at all like you expected. They weren't scaly or slimy. But instead... the best way you can describe it was a well moisturized palm. Smooth, soft and supple.
You had them stick to you like glue for the entire day. You guided them through their work and answered any questions they had.
You were a barrier against the rest of the Humans. Their side-eyes and scoffs were met with venomous glares from you and threats of HR visits.
"You don't need to cause a fuss because of me." Your Tentacle Co-Worker said during lunch. Their mass of tentacles scooping up their food from the container they brought and dexterously guided it between the writhing limbs to a hidden mouth.
"They're the ones causing a fuss." You said in return. Trying not to stare at everything this new guy did. They were fascinating. "It's not hard to show a bit of respect and kindness."
From then on you and this new co-worker were inseparable. And you didn't mind. They were actually quite dependable once they got use to the workload. And they were very sweet.
It took you a few weeks to chip away at the walls around him. But once you did, you found your Tentacle Co-Worker as curious about Humans as you were about Monsters. You both tiptoed around certain topics at first - unsure what topic shouldn't be touched on or where your budding friendship was comfortable discussing.
"Is it disrespectful to ask what kind of monster you are?" You asked once and a small trill rippled through the curtain of limbs around your co-worker's face. It was their chuckle. Which rose in volume and became more like clicking when they started laughing.
"No, you can ask. And we don't have a specific name. We fall under a category of Eldritch. It's more like a blanket identification, though."
After a few months, your friendship bloomed enough to welcome your Co-Worker's Monstrous tenancies. Which sounded dangerous. But in actuality, he was incredibly sweet.
You discover his kind show affection and social cues through touch. So more often than not, when you're discussing something or working together, a tentacle will rest somewhere on your person. Usually around your waist or arm.
You learned when a certain twitch means frustration or joy. Which squeeze of his limb is asking for reassurance or inquiring if you were ok. Sometimes the two of you go for hours without saying a word but talk through little brushes of skin and limbs.
You don't realize it, but he stands closer to you now. Comfortable to share his space rather than recoil from you. He brings extra portions of his lunch to share with you and doesn't shy away from tangling his tentacles in between your fingers when he seeks your attention.
Unbeknownst to you, this much touch from a creature like him means he is seeking affection from a mate, rather than a friend. It's nothing invasive or in a way he would deem inappropriate for the workplace. But he can't help but want to feel that little bit closer to a person, a Human, that filled the dark office with warmth and light.
He'll tell you eventually... but for now the tentacle drawing circles on the back of your palm is nothing more than a nervous twitch of his.
This became a bit of a bigger thing than I expected but I hope you enjoyed it!
Back in February I learned that not everyone can taste/smell the liquids when they get an IV. The nurse said it's less common to be able to.
I think it could be interesting to explore the possibility of werewolves not having been injured prior to being a werewolf or if they were always a werewolf being upset about being able to smell and taste it because they assume it's due to the lycanthropy.
If we go with the idea that vampires produce a type or venom/aphrodisiac to make their bite pleasant, could some people taste that?
Do you have any ideas for other non-humans that this could work for?
*Asks are sent for fun, no pressure to answer within a certain amount of time or at all.*
I think humans can probably taste the venom\aphrodisiac but there is almost zero recording of this as most humans have something much more urgent on their mind. (Panic, lust, confusion) The few records are from willing donors to vampires.
The only others I can think of is like pollen-like producers, like mothman producing a pheromone dust, which o would think everyone would taste.
Ancient monsters imbodying human form are peak humor for illness to me. They're perceive as so wise and intelligent but the bastards tripping over themselves carrying remedies from all manners of centuries "IS IT THE BLACK DEATH??? DID THE PLAUGES RETURN TO YOU BELOVED?!? ARE YOU DYING ARE YO-" they trip over themselves before continuing "ILL KILL WHATEVER THIS IS BEFORE IT CAN T H I N K OF LAYING HAND NOR HIDE UPON YOURSELF!!!"and your just dying of laughter this whole time trying not to cough which prompts another round of concerned strained panic from your partner and the cycles continues
Omg yes!
Either they haven't caught up with the recent medicines/illness list or they forget what Earth year it is. They're just absolutely feral woth worry because the last time they visited the plagues were wiping out entire cities.
But imagine their skill in cooking tho! I just had a need for some really nice hot soup and these guys have been around for eons. So once you've calmed them down and explained you're not dying just really sick, they cook you up THE BEST soup and warm foods to help with your headaches and aching body.
Have you ever seen this game called Cloud Meadow? It's in early access but if you like RPGs and Farming Sims like Stardew Valley, you should check it out. You plant and grow crops and also explore dungeons with turn based combat. And you can around the town and meet and interact with NPCs.
Oh it's also got monster porn. In case you might be into that.
I have it on my wishlist! I totally forgot about it until you just mentioned it.
I was gonna wait for it to get more updates and more reviews before I bought it. But i may get it for something relaxing and new to play while I'm sick.
I also saw some stuff on the monster porn and I love them. Such nice art for it.
