OMG HEYYYYY(⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎) A WONDERFUL QUESTION I LOVE THIS ONE OMG

Okay so there's gonna be lotsssssss of words i went bit overboard and it's gonna be a mix if pastries and desserts because i just realized....i dont eat many pastries 🤔

Jayden: Brownie! They're simple but delicious you could never go wrong with a brownie! Jayden's design on it's own is very simple but she also loves chocolate (me too girl) which is why i HAD to pick something with chocolate

Alison: Strawberry cream puffs! I had something similar to this (but i can't find it) and it was delicious the perfect balance between the ingredients tbh the cream wasn't too sweet and the strawberries added the sweetness it needed

Gio: would definitely be a coffee cake, this cake pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee and well he drinks lots of coffee throughout the day I can picture him sitting down in the morning having this cake with a cup of coffee while he scrolls through his phone :p

Niko: Tiramisu I don't know what conclusion brought be here since I don't think I've had tiramisu? Idk....something about him gives tiramisu vibes

Ed: A chocolate donut more specifically a oreo chocolate donut (the ones with a regular donut base with chocolate & oreo on top) because I had one and I haven't forgotten it (it's been months) they're are so good I imagine him saying something like "oh I don't like sweets" and then down a box of these donuts

Patty: This one is kinda specific, Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies I have a specific memory with these. They would give us these in elementary school and they were delicious, not too sweet but just the perfect amount of oats to chocolate. They're good, balanced in flavor and simple

Rin: This one was a little tricky I could've gone with something with sea salt but that would've been boring and I don't really like desserts with sea salt butttttt I think he would be Madeleines! Not only because of the shell shape but because they are also simple and delicious! Not to mention addictive I used to eat so many of these. I think the simplicity of the Madeleines match with Rin's personality the best!

Misha: a good ol croissant! Since he's a model and always changing I think a croissant fits him since you can flavor it in many different flavors!

Stephen: Mantecadas! These are lowkey addicting, very simple in terms of taste it's pretty comforting to eat (in my opinion) they're soft and good to eat on the go

Samson: His vibes take me to Flan/Pudding could be his colors idk🤔 no further explanation idk what to say

Zen: In a similar style as Misha hear me out...a pie/tart... Both of these have a variety of flavors both sweet and savory so I think it fits him well!

Vivian: Fruit roll cake! I could've put just strawberries but I feel like I do that a lot, she would definitely stick with fruity desserts to cut off all the super sweet stuff (I prefer this too tbh)

Dà: I'm thinking a cheesecake, not too sweet but sweet enough. Very simple compared to other desserts I think it fits his personality well

Detective Marsh: S'mores cookies, more specifically the stuffed ones yk? Marsh....marshmallow besides that they're very sweet just like him :p

Detective Liv: Chocolate lava cake, it has a sound structure but it's gooey on the inside which I think matches her personality closely, she's very strong on the outside but very sweet and empathetic on the inside

Lou: Honestly I can't imagine him being a dessert/pastry but I can see him buying a box of different flavored macarons and eating them while he works

York: Honestly I have no idea he would either be something really REALLY sweet or something REALLY tart and nothing comes to mind (T_T)

Charlie: Meringue cookies! I've made these before, they seem a little complicated to make (just like her (・o・)) They're simple and very delicate (just like her again Σ (ﾟДﾟ;) )

Xoka: Cinnamon roll! Even though he can't eat it [Sorry Xoka(╯︵╰)] I think it fits, He has a very soft personality with not a single bad bone in his body. You can't go wrong with a cinnamon roll they're delicious

Gene: York and Gene are the ones that I've debated the most BUT i think he would be those fruit desserts that are hard on the outside IDK WHAT THEY'RE CALLED (TдT) but he would be one of those even better if he's a lemon one. He has a rough personality but underneath he's very kind. Like the dessert the actual dessert is underneath the hard shell you just have to break it

Bebe: Funfetti cake! A flavor loved by a lot of people! What's not to love it's a classic, In their circus Bebe is one of the popular ones not only that but she has lots of colors just like a funfetti cake!

Raz: Donut filled with raspberry jam, a classic donut flavor! (Even though it's not my cup of tea) it is very popular for a reason! Sometimes the raspberries can come out tart/too sweet which matches his two different personalities!

Mimi: Strawberry tart!!!! I debated this one a bit but I think he would enjoy it every once and a while. He would also be able to enjoy it during work since it's not super messy

Marriott: Cake pop! Following the same logic as Zen & Misha, Marriott has a bright colors in his design! Cake pops comes in loads of different flavors and styles which I think suit his jester vibe!

Matt Santos for the character asks?

Character questionnaire (accepting!)

1. off the top of your head: notes for characterization? what are the most essential traits of this character to you (personality traits, important connections/dynamics, voice)?

Impulsive, idealistic, decent (for the most part).

One of my favorite tidbits is what Ronna says about him. That when he thinks his staff is dragging their feet being too careful about a risky bill, he just announces it, so they have no choice but to find a way to make it work. That's delightful (I would hate to work for him) and I love it.

I love his idealism, and how resistant he is to Josh trying to get him to back down on his education plans in New Hampshire (and how he kind of makes it work in the end!), and that's what makes it so upsetting too when the guy in La Palabra reminds him "maybe you see so few familiar faces because your friends don't recognise you anymore" because he's veering to the center too much.

And I love the pure decency from this man. I love how opposed he is to any attempt from Josh to attack the opponents, I love how he handles the San Andreo incident, I love how he doesn't even hesitate about not attack Baker about his wife's hospitalisation for depression. (I love the speech he gives too.) While at the same time, I kind of appreciate that he's still a man with his own flaws and areas where he's just wrong? In La Palabra again, the way he talks about the woman who came forward about Hoynes' sexual misconduct towards her when she was just in college? "She got paid, that's how all these stories get out there"?? Sir. But it's not surprising, and I think that, too, alongside his more hesitant views on abortion, are important parts of his character, that would make for interesting fic discussions!

2. adjacently—do you think fandom does the above traits justice? why or why not?

Sure? I think part of the trap with Matt Santos is that he's kind of marketed as Jed Bartlet 2.0 and in a lot of ways they are similar people (idealistic progressive Catholic Democrats who are kinda pushed to the center in order to win elections? Men Josh Lyman drags himself through hell for? Men who would walk through hell and back for their wives?) but sometimes that disregards the ways he's his own person, too. And I haven't read that many fics centered on Matt, but in plenty of discussions I've seen on him as President especially, the distinction's hard to find? Which makes sense, caues we don't actually see that much from Matt as a person outside of the campaign, but still. But then again, all the traits I find important in him are also applicable to Jed Bartlet, so it's not like the comparison's not fair.

3. throw this character at any other character of your choice to bounce off each other as outsider pov to each other— regardless of timeline or logistics (crossovers allowed if you’re interesting about it). why this combination? what insights would they have on each other?

To no one's surprise, I'm throwing him at Andy.

But I think that works: they are both progressive voices from outside the administration, young-ish members of Congress who get on the White House's nerves with their annoying takes on healthcare and racism respectively. I think both their perspectives on the senior staff, on Jed Bartlet, and on the rest of the House, would be fun to engage with and come from a different place than other (side) characters. They are similarly impulsive and progressive and idealistic, and I also think they're the right kind of fun to just really get along? If he's walking around the office singing, I can see her joining in, that's all. If she brings in pie from one of her constituents, he gets a fork too.

At the same time, she could be one of those people mentioned who are kind of disappointed in Matt moving to the center for his campaign at times. (And, if we talk about his reaction to Hoynes or his stance on abortion, I'm sure she'd have words.) And I'd love to see their discussions when he assumes the Presidency and is back in DC full-time and now they have to work together from a completely different relationship.

4. how do you think you would react to this character in real life and vice versa? would you prefer be a million miles out of range, be amicable classmates, or fall desperately in love?

I'd vote for the man if I lived in the US.

5. ideal flavor of rotating for this character? crack them open and dissect them— do you want them tormented, pining, or being loved + comforted? do you have any specific scenarios you like to think about?

So admittedly, he's not often the main character when I'm spinning him around; for the most part, he's there when I'm spinning Andy, CJ, and Amy around. But, for Matt specifically, he's not a character I like hurting. He's not for angst. He's here for being loved and supported and comforted and I love that for him. I would like to see him live the rest of his life in as much comfort as you can get as President of the United States.

6. weave a web of dynamics through the cast for this character: which dynamics are you most interested in? both canonically and through extrapolation/speculation— which dynamics are the richest to you, and why?

Andy, as seen above. I love their imagined friendship, they are so dear to me. They never even interact in canon but they make so much sense to me.

CJ: I'm so glad CJ got out of DC when she did, she deserved the break more than anyone. But I love the scene where he figures out CJ came up with the idea to get him that tax increase on gas? Her smile when he asks her about it? How much he wants to work with her? And I would have loved to see them work together. I do sometimes picture timelines where Josh doesn't last that long as Chief of Staff, and CJ doesn't last that long in California, and she gets to take a swing at being COS when she has more experience, a complete staff, and a President in good health (no disrespect to Jed Bartlet, but his MS did not make it any easier on her, either.) I think they could be SUCH a good team, and Matt would have such a good relationship with her?? And I think that could make it easier for him to stay more progressive, too, if he lets her fight and lets her push him to keep doing that, too.

Josh: That aside, though, I gotta love how much Josh and Matt grow together over the course of season 6 and 7. I love their mutual frustration at the start, and how much they start understanding each other later, and god that look when they win the election?? Everything. And I really would have loved to see, too, how Josh grows into being Chief of Staff, and how they manage that first year in office, because they really do have such a good relationship at that point.

Amy: Last one. Small one. I just love that when Matt Santos thinks he needs to practice his debate skills, he gets Amy Gardner because he knows she coached a lot of Congresswomen in debates. Like, that is her expertise here, specifically, women's rights and helping women through Congressional debates, and he wants her. I love that. I love that she's on a plane immediately, too, it's not like she has a quiet life either. I would've loved to see how they first met, where that dynamic started, and also how she was going to work in his administration! (Personally, tied in with my headcanons for Matt & Andy, I like to think he particularly knows Amy as a good debate prep coach because she helped Andy get back in the swing of it after giving birth, and he's aware of how much that worked, but that's just me.)

7. do you have particular niche takes on this character? defend those takes. (openly controversial takes are permitted, but also: hyper-specific headcanons which you believe in and no one else has considered enough to disagree with yet. pick a hill to die on.)

1: Bisexual. He's like, vaguely aware of this, but he's never really thought too much about it. One of those people who doesn't quite realise it's not a universal experience until someone else points it out.

2: He loves his kids, but he's right to have wanted to step down to be more involved in their lives, cause he wasn't there enough when they were really young. He couldn't while in Congress: if he's in DC most of the time and the kids are in Texas with Helen, that's how it is, but there's a reason Helen was very happy he was resigning, and less happy he was running for President. Good thing is that as President, the kids are living with him full time again!

3: Low-key? One term President. I can see it.

[mysticbeaver]

randomly asking cuz im curious lmao but what kind of music are you into? what are your favorite artists and songs? from what i've seen you're mostly into classic rock, right? (which btw the classic rock to eene pipeline is really funny and quite fascinating but that's another story.)

Oh I'm glad you asked!!! Boy now I can go on a rant 😁

Ok, I'm one of those folks who have a hard time explaining what kind of music I listen to... classic rock was definitely my upbringing since I was a child - like the Who, Led Zep, AC/DC (I feel slightly embarassed by that nowadays, sorry AC/DC fans 😅 good memories tho).

As a teen I started going into 70s progressive rock, especially King Crimson, which I consider my favorite band ever for the simple fact I've been able to stomach pretty much everything they ever put out, even the most self-indulgent and tough to listen stuff (the "ProjeKcts"). I also fell in love with some art-pop (Peter Gabriel, David Sylvian) and generally got more adventurous and tried to slowly discover other artists (but always unabashedly behind the times haha). I went through a Bowie phase, tbf I still don't think I truly "get" Bowie lol, but one of his most interesting albums to me is Outside, probably the weirdest thing he's ever done. I also got into some electronic stuff, Tangerine Dream, Yello (two funny looking swiss guys, you might be familiar with that meme song Oh Yeah lmao). I'm also extremely familiar with Tom Waits... (I'll mention Captain Beefheart since we're at it) I've delved into jazz here and there, Pat Metheny is the first thing that comes to mind, but I'm pathetically ignorant on the genre.

The latest artist I went through a phase and now consider one of my favorites is the band Talk Talk. Their short history is mindblowing, they went from "80s one-hit-wonder pop band" to making music completely out of its time. The Color Of Spring is the best 80s-pop-album-that-doesn't-sound-80s I've ever heard, and Spirit Of Eden is... something, lmao. That album and their last one, Laughing Stock were apparently very influential on later artists in the 90s and onwards, and are now considered masterpieces despite not selling very well at the time. The enigmatic band leader Mark Hollis eventually took the genius decision to... retire (gasp) and disappear from public view for the rest of his life (I think some "artists" out there could learn a lesson from that 🤐)

John Martyn's album One World is another recent favorite, a folk rock guitarist who got kinda trippy/experimental and recorded an album by a small lake, sometimes recording the sound of the speakers in the distance... there's a beautiful track on there called Small Hours where you can even faintly hear the geese.

Finally I want to mention two historical italian artists I'm familiar with - Franco Battiato and Lucio Battisti. I've always shunned music from my country when I was younger, but I'm trying to make up for it, and those two really captivated me (although if you grew up in Italy you can't escape hearing Battisti's more famous hit songs, also apparently Bowie was a big fan, so I've read...)

All of this is just the tip of the iceberg, what came to my head right now. Btw, I wanna know what the "classic rock to eene pipeline" is haha

Dominik Mysterio: Road to WrestleMania 40 Timeline Part 1 — Feb. 26 - Mar. 4th, 2024

Part of my Judgment Day Masterlist: HERE

Monday Night Raw — February 26th, 2024

Officially on the road to WrestleMania after Elimination Chamber, Judgment Day comes out to interrupt Imperium. Damian is their mouthpiece here, saying that their run is second to the Judgment Day's and that they're looking to add more gold to the group, including Gunther's.

Gunther ponders which member of the Judgment Day will challenge him (The one with the big head right there) and Damian gets heated, starting to argue with him until Dominik steps up. Damian steps to the side while Gunther laughs in his face as Dom makes his challenge, telling him, "That title belongs to us". Gunther holds the mic to his mouth but instead pushes him causing Damian to lose it as the Judgment Day holds him back.

We later see the Judgment Day walking backstage as they run into Rhea who was noticeably absent for the groups confrontation. She only interacts with Dominik showing concern over him challenging Gunther, Dom tries to ease her mind with a very soft, "I got this; I got you". Finn tells him to smooth things over with her (ironic) and as he goes after he, Dom runs into Andrade.

They have a friendly interaction, something rare for Dominik, where he talks to him like an old friend. Andrade tells Dom that he's talking to Pearce about his first opponent since his return with an alluding "See you soon"; Dom responding, "Maybe, best of luck to you".

Monday Night Raw — March 4th, 2024

Dominik v Gunther is the first match of the night and it's great. Gunther dominates for most of the match but Dom gets to shine being clever, resourceful, and resilient. The match plays to all his strengths as a wrestler, his selling and bumping for Gunther is fantastic and Dom gets in enough solid offense to be considered a legitimate opponent for him. In my opinion, it's one of the best matches in his entire heel run. He's still very much an over confident, cowardly heel but he's also allowed to be competent in the ring.

We see Gunther give his thoughts on the match on Instagram, saying that Dom "Stood in there with courage; stood his ground", and points out the bruising on his chest from his chops stating, "Look at me. The damage is done".

After the match we see a bruised up Dominik in the trainers room surrounded by the rest of Judgment Day. The group shows solidarity in a way they haven't since their earlier days with Damian and Finn deciding to "make things right" by taking on Imperium and ordering JD to take care of Gunther. Andrade pops in briefly to check on Dom who says that he's "Keeping an eye on him". He and Damian have a funny exchange where he asks Dominik if he and Andrade are cousins and the segment ends as Rhea tenderly rubs Doms head and gently rests hers on his.

Asra reversed anding 😨 😏🥵👀

[inky-dinky]

a snowy little lake! :)

[gayvangeance]

If you’re ok w it... would you write a few things about a sub luck and a dom s/o 😌 I just feel like this man would be so submissive in the bedroom and maybe lots of aftercare from the s/o and luck loves it if this is something that you don’t wanna do it’s ok!!

oOo sure thing anon! tbh luck kinda neat these days 😳 Enjoy!! 💞

NSFW Luck

Can I just say: HIGH LIBIDO. God if he can handle fighting for hours and hours, he sure can last even longer in bed.

Really experimental in bed. You want to try a new position? He's up for it. Oh? a knew kink? hell yeah.

He's vocal! Lots of moans and whimpers will definitely fill the room. I wouldn't be surprised if you both get a noise complaint.

He has a thing for being used. Sure he likes it when you're gentle but this boy would rather be pushed to the couch, tied down, and used.

I'll say it once and I'll say it again: he likes to be fingered. Just bend him over and he can be like that for hours. He especially likes it when you whisper in his ear.

a hoe for shower sex.

SENSORY DEPRIVATION.

Slightly a brat? He's moderate about it but he definitely likes to tease you and act like a dom, just so you can punish him for it.

For aftercare, he loves cuddling and laying down in the tub with you. He doesn't really expect too much, but to him it's utter heaven. In all honesty he'll be back on his feet after 2 hours of relaxing.

That won't stop him from asking for 4+ glasses of water though.
