Tears of Themis 5th Anniversary — Forever Begins with You SSR
hey. you there. ever wonder which of the NXX boys is shown being submissive the most in card CGs?
WELL, i just quantified the (visual) submissive instances of the NXX boys by counting every instance i could find in card graphics, all so i could see who is the most (visually) subby freak among them
FIRST, HOW DID I GO ABOUT THIS?
i created three sheets, each quantifying a different type of subby instance: Kneeling, Bondage, and Rosa on TOP
here's how i scored each of those instances:
additional notes:
i counted each of these instances in unique CGs each card has. this means that SSRs and SRs, have the opportunity to gain 2 points maximum (as they have a Base, an Evolve 1 (which is almost the same as the base) and an Evolve 2), while MR and R cards can only gain 1 point maximum.
i did not count instances of submission within the story. this is because that would necessitate that i read Every Single Card Story In Tears Of Themis, and im Not Strong Enough For That. this quantification only takes into account the visual instances seen in CGs.
now without further ado, let's get to the numbers!!
AND THE MAN WHO IS TAKING HOME THE SUBMISSIVE AND BREEDABLE CROWN IS.....
....LUKE PEARCE!!!
NOBODY IS HAPPIER WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT THAN I AM. THIS IS LIKE CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY TO ME. I GENUINELY DID NOT KNOW WHO WOULD WIN THIS WHEN I STARTED COUNTING BUT IM SO FRIGGIN HAPPY
if i missed a card or miscounted, do let me know! this whole thing took me THREE HOURS of looking through Every Card CG and my head started to hurt, so i mightve made mistakes!!
but anyhoo congratulations to luke pearce!! may he get his shit rocked 24/7, god bless!!
EDIT: I KNEW I MISSED A CARD SOMEWHERE. i missed vyn's Secret Whispers card!! this gives him a full additional point, meaning he's actually in 3RD PLACE and not 4th. thank you to those who spotted this error, and congrats to vyn for not being dead last!!
Where the Heart Belongs
I just remembered I didn’t post this over here yet!
So welcome to my take on NXX innerworkings:
SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE !!
this is my first time writing for tears of themis! i’m def a vyn main <333
Vyn hates competition when it comes to you. He always has to be the one getting you the best gifts, taking you out to the nicest places, talking to you the longest, and the whole works.
If you mention the place Artem took you for lunch during your break, he’ll take you out somewhere more expensive for dinner. If you show him the gift Luke got for you, he’ll buy you another, but bigger and better. Marius buys you a necklace? No, you don’t wear that material, and that specific stone clashes with your eyes. Vyn knows you far better, and that’s why he already got you a necklace that matches the earrings he got you last week. And you'd better expect the matching bracelet in the days to come.
Every time he sees you, he scans your outfit, searching for the items he bought for you. That blouse was something he gifted you, the jewellery a mix of your own and expensive, or sometimes even handmade products from him. Everything checked out; it is familiar, except for those shoes.
"Are those shoes new?" He asks, watching intently as you smile and look down at the designer flats on your feet.
"Yeah! Marius got them for me. He wanted to take me to a gallery, but I didn't have suitable shoes, so he gave me these. Aren't they nice?" You're too sweet for your own good. You can't see that Marius was trying to buy his way into your heart. Vyn could see it. He'd never do anything like that...
"That's convenient of him to have a spare pair of shoes in your measurements, don't you think?" Vyn pushes his glasses further up his nose, taking his eyes off of those detestable shoes. "And the gallery. Was that exciting, rosebud?"
He never seemed to get over your reaction to that simple nickname. You were far too adorable for your own good, and even cuter with your cheeks dusted in pink. "It was alright," Your response seems indifferent to Vyn, but you quickly add another sentence. "I enjoyed it, although it was mostly just the same as the last time you took me."
"And I suppose he didn't know you had already been." Vyn chuckles proudly, an almost imperceptible smug look on his face. That was another win in his books. "Well, I can make up for his misdeeds. If you're not doing anything, would you like to come to a concert with me after our lunch?"
"The concert of that famous touring orchestra? I thought the tickets were sold out!" A gasp slips from your lips, eye widening so delectably as he procures two VIP tickets from his pocket. "Were you... saving them for right now?"
He just shrugs, slipping the tickets back into his pocket. "I guess I just knew you'd come with me. Besides, isn't an orchestra much better than a gallery? And afterwards I'll take you out to dinner. I heard you had a rather unsavoury time at a restaurant Artem picked the other day. No need to fret, rosebud, the place I'm planning on taking you is much higher class, so there's no question about the quality of the food."
Vyn Richter knows how to play you, knows your likes, dislikes, and the time you spend with other men. He will always one up them. Always. You were his perfect rose, after all.
