skymurdock replied to your post: what. HEY WELCOME TO THE CRITICAL ROLE HELLPIT. do...
Molly is just the best and also is probably actively trying to flirt with most of the Mighty Nein except Beau. Beau he’s starting to warm up to as a person and sort of a sisterly-shaped person in general.
"I kneel into a dream where I am good and loved. I am good. I am loved." idk something with the OT trio, if that's okay?
This is how it starts: the Princess rests her white, cool hand on his wrist, and Han goes still under her touch. You’re invaluable, she says, not just to the Rebellion, but—
But? Han says quietly, because this is his fantasy and he’s allowed to imagine himself sincere, strong enough to extend that terrifying first touch, here in this shadow-world where nothing is real.
To me, Leia whispers, and she’s ‘Leia’ like this, her hair unbound around her shoulders. He’s only seen her like that once, late at night during an unexpected assault. They’d been called from their beds, and the Yavinese heat had made her flushed, her hair slicked to her neck and throatin tangles, and Han had watched her dumbly, enthralled by how she kept sweeping it from her face.
He’d wanted to cup his hands around her small face and push her hair from her eyes and kiss where the sweat shone on her brow.
The problem is he’s greedy. It’s—she’s enough, of course she is, but so is—
(He’d fucked Luke, okay? Not much, but enough. Enough to count. He wasn’t aware of the Jedi stuff, couldn’t predict the Death Star business, but there was a beautiful boy, hair the color of sand and defensive and hungry, and Han Solo had understood Lando at last. Because you can’t resist all that young hunger, the unvarnished honesty of first wanting.
Luke Skywalker had tried to drape himself against Han’s door frame, very casually, and the effect was so painfully sincere that Han had almost choked on it. Anyway, they’d had a fumbling few hours and then there was the whole business with—
Anyway.
Anyway.)
This is what Han Solo imagines: after the Princess’ white hand, there’s the Jedi’s furtive kissing, sloppy, inexperienced, but it’s good. As good as you’re invaluable to me. And like magic, it’s all of them, because Han figures that if he loves Luke, and loves Leia, and Luke loves Leia and Leia loves Luke then—
He’s never doubted Luke and Leia love each other. It’s just that maybe, he’s there. and they’re touching him, and the Princess is murmuring we need you, don’t go, I need you, and the Jedi is laughing, low in his throat, and chuckling, don’t you know how important you are, solo? how much we need you—
for the headcanon meme: Steve Rogers the angry little chihuahua.
On Monday, the very angry Stevie got beaten up in one parking lot, but he was still angry. On Tuesday, the very angry Stevie got beaten up behind two diners, but he was STILL angry. On Wednesday, the very angry Stevie got put through three experimental procedures, but he was STILL angry. Anyway, gonna do me some Steve Rogers for this ask meme.
A: what I think realistically
Adapting to the 21st century isn’t really difficult, once he can face the reality of it properly. It reminds him, more than anything, of that first week after the serum–everything is too bright and too loud and too fast. But now the world is unfamiliar to boot and there’s no one who cares enough has the time to help him adjust. It’s a rough couple of months before he masters the situation.
Unrelated to the above, Steve was actually great friends with most of the chorus girls. At first they were…uh…suspicious, to say the least, because he was a massive brick house of a dude who could lift a motorcycle and looked like the ultimate version of the assholes they put up with on the regular. So they didn’t speak to Steve past the most basic courtesies for a week and a half.
Then they went out drinking after their first performance in a new city and Steve sat quietly in the corner with a water until he saw Cheryl sitting stiff and toying with a fork as a man’s hand crept up her leg.
“Back off,” Cheryl said sharply. The guy did not.
No one was more surprised than Cheryl when Steve loomed up from the corner like the wrath of God and sharply announced, “Buddy, if you’re not going to leave the lady alone, you and me are gonna have problems.”
The next day, Steve showed up to the theater ready to sit off to the side as usual. Instead Cheryl plopped down in front of him, held out a handful of bobby pins, and said, “I need an extra set of hands to put my hair up. You braid, Cap?”
“Um, not really,” Steve said, blushing. “But I can learn.”
B: what I think is fuckinghilarious
Highlights of Steve in the modern grocery store include:
- Steve And The Grudge Against Weird Bananas
- Steve And What The Fuck Do You Mean You Want Five Dollars For This Tomato
- Steve And Wow You Can Get Vaccines At A Grocery Store–Wait What Do You Mean People Believe Vaccines Are Dangerous
- Steve And Hey You There Leave That Cashier Alone Unless You Wanna Settle This Outside
- Steve And The Girl Scouts of America
- Steve And The Struggle of Grocery Shopping Without Getting Recognized
- Steve And Really What The Fuck Is Wrong With Bananas
Needless to say, Steve isn’t really allowed to do the grocery shopping anymore.
C: what is heart-crushing andawful but fun to inflict on friends
SHIELDRA dumped all their files onto the internet, courtesy of Natasha’s salt-and-burn solution to HYDRA’s infiltration. Steve has been in the modern world for a good few years by now, so he sits down and starts searching through it for information.
He shouldn’t be doing it. He knows it’s just torturing himself. He hasn’t known where Bucky is since Insight went down, and none of this will help him find the Winter Soldier if he doesn’t want to be found, Natasha assured him of that. But…he just has to know.
Capture. Surgeries. The arm. Missions. Cryostasis. “Programming.” More missions, more cryo, more programming–torture, it’s torture, God, all this time he was mourning his best friend while Bucky was being tortured.
Steve lasts through five files before he throws up.
D: what would neverwork with canon but the canon is shit so I believe it anyway
Y’all, Steve is Wanda’s weird adopted big brother and no one can stop me from believing it. He shows her a bunch of Disney movies that she missed out on as a kid and she asks him for advice about Vision and he jokes about how he’s definitely the wrong person to be asking for romantic advice. They have a good weird relationship.
@skymurdock asked: “Have you ever seen Pushing Daisies?”
@darthluminescent answered, “I’ve seen enough to know the premise of it!”
@skymurdock said: "GOOD. Pls imagine Obi-wan as a baker who can bring the dead back to life and Anakin as a former murder victim. Former bc he's not dead anymore! Unfortunately he can't touch his boyfriend."
And then... this... happened.
Legally speaking Anakin is dead, thank you witness protection program you are sure great at doing your goddamn job, but also he's currently hanging around Obi-Wan's bakery as a waiter and, like. Trying to find new ways to make plastic wrap sexy.
He can't touch him because he might die again??? NO PROBLEM, Anakin is going to get Very Creative then.
Obi-Wan is both endeared and tempted to roll his eyes skyward.
Obi-Wan missed him so much and yet! He still can't touch him because if he does Anakin will die again and he can't take that. He would like to be selfish just this one time, but he can't.
And there will be so many romantic kisses through plastic wrap!
Anakin showing up, completely naked, except for the plastic wrap all around his body and a suggestive smirk and Obi-Wan's like, oh, thank god you're attractive, because this is terrible and not at all sexy. And it's really not. But it is adorable.
They go through so much plastic wrap it's a wonder neither of them have developed some kind of Pavlovian response.
Eventually there are full body suits, but, like. Before that. SO MUCH PLASTIC WRAP.
It's also really hot and doesn't breathe AT ALL. After about half an hour, Anakin's just like, "[flops back onto the bed] [whines] This was a terrible idea."
"Can we go back to mutual masturbation and not go through so much plastic wrap?"
"NO. I'll figure something out!!!"
There are a lot of late evenings where Anakin wraps himself in a sheet, like a full on burrito with only his face still exposed, and he sort of hop-shuffles over to Obi-Wan and then curls up against him and snuggles against his side.
Burrito Anakin tends to flop himself over Obi-Wan's lap if there's a couch and a TV nearby, like, dammit, he will have SOME semblance of normal cuddling while watching TV!
He just fucking wraps himself up in a bedsheet like a burrito and leans against Obi-Wan that way. Occasionally they hold hands through the bedsheet.
A few times he'll throw the sheet over Obi-Wan and just go full octopus on him, wrap arms and legs around Obi-Wan and he can feel SOME of Obi-Wan's body heat that way.
This is. Well, it's the closest thing Anakin can have to actual touch, at this point, and while it sucks he will take it anyway. He aches for skin to skin contact, to feel the warmth directly on his own skin, but in the meantime, burrito Anakin will take what he can get.
He's pretty starved for touch, and the fact that he'd literally die if he touched Obi-Wan is, well, he is deeply unhappy about that. It's like, hey, great, he's not dead! But now he has to use a fake identity and not go see his kids and not touch his boyfriend. None of which he is enthusiastic about.
BUT ALSO:
Ahsoka is totally the PI of this whole mess and works part-time at Obi-Wan's place for the employee discount.
She and Anakin once attached wheels to a chair and then used fire extinguishers as rocket boosters.
Ahsoka asks him one time if she can hug him and he's like "...please?" And that's how Obi-wan walked in on the both of them snoozing on each other during lunch break.
He kind of randomly sneak hugs Ahsoka, just walks up behind her and wraps his arms around her and cuddles her for like three minutes straight, no warning or words exchanged.
She just pats him on the arm and relaxes into the hug and lets him press his face against her shoulder to feel someone. But it can only fix so much.
Ahsoka occasionally complains a little about Anakin hugging her out of nowhere but like, she missed him too. a lot. And he hugs really well.
Padmé is pretty sure her ex is dead but also for some reason she keeps seeing him sometimes?? Must be the grief. That's all. It's not like his ghost is hanging around haunting her. Meanwhile Anakin is quietly hanging out nearby whenever Luke and Leia are in his vicinity.
He wants to hug them. He wants to tell them he's here and not in the ground, he wants to make up for lost time and tell them he loves them but he can't.
Luke probably wanders off one time bc he saw something and nearly falls somewhere and suddenly he gets caught and it's his dad!!! he's so happy!!! confused as well bc mom explained that dad couldn't ever come back ever because he was dead. But like. He's just happy his father came back to keep him safe.
And it breaks Anakin's heart to have to tell him not to tell Leia or Padmé because he is supposed to be dead, after all, he's got a gravestone in the cemetery.
"But why???"
"You just—can't, okay? Some very bad people are after me, and it's safer for you and Leia and your mom if I stay dead. Please, Luke, can you keep this a secret?"
AND IT’S STILL SAD:
He missed Ahsoka too! but sometimes when he hugs her it's really just bc there's nobody else he can touch around here, Obi-Wan is obviously off-limits if Anakin wants to keep breathing.
He really loves hugging Ahsoka, but sometimes it's definitely a substitute and he'd like nothing more than to go crawl into bed with Obi-Wan and have both of them actually be naked.
It's nice that he can touch other people at least, he's not totally alone, but it's no real replacement for being able to ride your boyfriend's dick when GOD you haven't gotten properly laid in so long.
He just has to settle for like, long showers by himself instead if he can't use cling wrap.
He misses hickeys and bruises and properly rough sex, he hasn't gotten laid in such a long time jfc.
On the bright side though he had no idea he had a thing for gloves, so that's New.
It gets really hard to hold still and not accidentally dislodge the plastic wrap sometimes. But on another bright note, apparently he has a thing for being tied or handcuffed to the headboard while Obi-Wan blows and/or fucks him. So, well, at least that's a plus.
But he really wants hickeys NOT done through a thin shirt or a sheet. He wants to feel Obi-Wan's tongue against his, he wants to feel the rough callouses on Obi-Wan's hands, he wants to feel the warmth of Obi-Wan's skin, he wants to press his face against the scratch of Obi-Wan's beard, he wants to hold both of them in his hand while they rut against each other, he wants to feel Obi-Wan's hand on his neck, wants to put his own hands on Obi-Wan's face when he leans in to kiss him.
Honestly sometimes he is just really tempted to say fuck it and kiss him anyway, it would be nice if that was the last thing he did on this earth but at the same time.
He has really terrible impulse control, he's kind of afraid he'll actually do it one day, just because he can't live like this. And also he'd never see his kids again and ONE kiss is not worth the thousand ones he actually wants.
BUT THAT’S TOO MUCH SAD. FIX IT.
Honestly if they ever somehow fix it he'd probably end up pretty much making up for it by kissing Obi-Wan as much as he can. The song said a thousand sweet kisses and by god he's going to get those kisses.
Eventually they fix it--THEY DO, OKAY--and Anakin literally leaps onto Obi-Wan, who thankfully was sitting down when they were sure it would work, they tested it on other things a whole bunch of times, so many insects brought back to life and stayed that way!. And just won't get off Obi-Wan's lap as he kisses everywhere he can reach, a hundred smacks all across the plans of Obi-Wan's face.
On his mouth, on his cheeks, on his forehead, on the bridge of his nose, on his neck, and right back to his mouth again to start all over. Butterfly kisses and then slightly harder smacking kisses and then soft kisses again. He's going to have a thousand of them THAT AFTERNOON, by god.
And then the long, long slow kissing, the gentle roll of their tongues against each other, the way Anakin can frame Obi-Wan's face between his hands, run his thumbs along those cheekbones of his, feel the warmth of Obi-Wan's face against his palms finally, he refuses to stop for literally an hour.
Every night ends with a goodnight kiss, every morning with a wake up one, it doesn't matter how foul either of their breath is, Obi-Wan can complain all he likes that he should brush his teeth first, that they BOTH should, but he's not getting out of that bed without a kiss.
Same for middle of the night bathroom runs, Anakin is octopused around him, he can FEEL when Obi-Wan gets up, NO YOU CAN'T GO UNLESS YOU KISS ME FIRST and then waits until Obi-Wan gets back to get another kiss before wrapping arms and legs around him again.
And they are, of course, immediately wiggled under Obi-Wan's clothes. Mostly not even in a sexy times way, just that Anakin wants to feel skin against skin.
Anakin, himself, obviously, is naked, NO CLOTHES EVER AGAIN!!!! he shouts the first night. \:D/
Clothes SOMETIMES, Obi-Wan says.
NO CLOTHES. NEVER AGAIN. \;D/
Obi-Wan pinches the bridge of his nose, which is difficult with the way Anakin is attached to him. "Clothes in public then. When Ahsoka's here. Or any other people."
Anakin just kisses him again. "Eh, maybe."
It's going to have to be good enough for now.
He's spent years settling for the ghost of a touch, kissing with a sheet of plastic in between, so like he is not wasting a goddamn moment when he could be touching Obi-Wan.
He's just like, "Oh my god I missed this so much I am never wearing clothes again."
"If you start a nudist colony, Anakin—"
He kisses him. It's great, the way Obi-Wan makes this little protesting noise and then just sort of melts into the kiss, he missed that.
The first night, Anakin ceremoniously throws the sheets to the floor. He tried to throw them out the window, but Obi-Wan managed to convince him to just the floor, that's good enough, The Evil Sheets That Kept Us Separated For Too Long And Were A Symbol Of All That Stood Between Us (Obi-Wan repeats with a sigh, but at least a straight face) have been vanquished, Anakin.
He proposed a Viking funeral. Obi-Wan immediately shot it down by pointing out that it would set off all the smoke alarms and wake up his neighbors.
It's the middle of the night when Anakin is shivering and trying to burrow into Obi-Wan's side, when Obi-Wan finally brings it up.
"Perhaps--and I'm just speculating here, no need to jump to conclusions--the bedsheets are NOT the root of all evil and everything that kept us apart."
"No," Anakin says Very Firmly. "NO MORE SHEETS, EVER."
Obi-Wan looks at the ceiling and prays for patience. Then maybe smirks a little, because he's kind of an asshole. "Well, if you're really cold, we can get some plastic wr--"
"DON'T YOU JOKE ABOUT THAT."
Ten minutes of shivering boyfriend later, there's a very sullen, "....okay, maybe ONE sheet. But it can only go over the top of both of us! NOTHING BETWEEN."
"Nothing between," Obi-Wan promises solemnly.
Anakin ends up hogging the damn blanket anyway. He gets easily cold and he got into the habit of wrapping up like a damn burrito, it's hard to break it.
He's so offended in the morning, too. "You PROMISED--!" he starts to yell indignantly.
"I was not the one who stole the blanket in the middle of the night and wrapped themselves up like a burrito out of habit," Obi-Wan sharply responds. Okay, so, maybe he's a little grumpy at being denied contact now that they finally can. He didn't expect it to be quite so sharp, though.
"I WOULD NEVER," Anakin is aghast at this.
They argue about it for a good ten minutes, WHILE Anakin is still kissing him all over this face. "I [smooch] would [smooch] never [smooch] because [smooch] I [smooch] want [smooch] this [smooch] more [smooch] than [smooch] [smooch] [smooch] ANYTHING."
Anakin protests that he DIDN'T, and meanwhile Obi-Wan points out that he certainly didn't wrap Anakin up like a burrito in the middle of the night, because for one thing he was asleep by that time. At least up until he woke up and it was cold and Anakin had stolen the blanket and wrapped himself up like a very tall and very cold burrito.
Considering Anakin was clutching the blanket in his fist, yes, Obi-Wan is certain that it was him who wrapped him up like a burrito.
Anakin starts to puff up to argue again, so Obi-Wan offers an olive branch and kisses him. It has nothing to do with that Anakin can't argue if there's something else trying to work its way down his throat, not at all.

For @skymurdock and their awesome (heartbreaking) Winter Soldier! Steve Trevor AU. I will do some proper drawings (totally re-drawing the part of WS where Bucky punches Cap’s shield, but with Diana and her shield), but I wanted to sketch out some ideas for his outfit. I tried to keep it similar to his costume in Wonder Woman and still have it similar to Buck’s. I don’t know whether to use coat or not. I thought it would look kinda dumb, but I’m warming up to him wearing it occasionally. As for the mark on his arm I went with symbol for Mars/Ares as I don’t know Wonder Woman villains well and I don’t know if there’s any DC villains similar to Hydra so I just went with Ares.
12. what is your cutest headcanon: Listen, I think a lot about Foggy babysitting Danielle Jones-Cage, okay? (They eat jam sandwiches and sing showtunes, it’s a party.)
