ohhh the new redacted trial.... boy do i have thoughts. obviously spoilers below!!
this is very in line with my previous post about Franco's reagent lover rebirthing but less distress and more annoyance. as well as a sort of twisted satisfaction. come on, did you really want to leave him? all alone, in sinyala, without you? and you seriously thought murkoff would just let you go, too?
no, he's more than pleased when you discover it's just a ruse. that it's not an actual escape. he likes watching that realization fall over your expression. maybe easterman's words get to him a little, the idea that you wouldn't ever be able to leave in any meaningful way. that even if you did manage it, you'd still remember him. hopefully.
not that he's letting you leave, murkoff willing. he hopes that this is a good lesson for you, regardless of easterman's extra bullshit. you have to stay with him, whether you want to or not. he should feel bad for being so satisfied that your hopes had been squashed, but when your hopes would have resulted in you leaving him? he can't be too upset. he'll be fussy with you for a while, make you take proper care of him after all your silly ideas have left or even while they're still turning in the back of your mind, but then he'll be content to think that you won't try anything like that again. after all, you have no reason to.
Franco WILL be celebrating with his lovely partner, how could he not? he doesn't need to hire a whore when he can actually go on a nice date, for once. he will be spoiling you with fancy treats and a snazzy restaurant. just entertain his requests in the bedroom, yeah? baby won't be happy if you're not indulging him, too.
realizing i need dividers or something for this account rn auuughhh i need to be able to separate my thoughts more neatly !!! to the lovely anon who sent me an ask!! MY WHOLE ANSWER IS DONE I'M JUST FUSSING WITH THE FORMATTING RN !!!!
i might mess with formatting more later but i've posted the post ! i feel so awkward and shy answering asks like,,, augh i hope it's all in character and i hope it's at least a little satisfying to see! idk!!!
you have No idea how happy i was when i received this ask.
this is reagent reader x franco themed btw but if you'd rather see something else OFC just lmk and i can think something up for suuuureee!!
this is split into 2 sections! first bit is Reader as Puppy and the second is Franco as Puppy! as marked by Franco's name being colored!
tw: watersports briefly mentioned i guess? plus mentions of hitting but this is outlast trials so like... you know
look, Franco only really leaned into calling you a "mutt" when he saw your reaction to it. throwing shit at him? bad dog. looking around for you? where's his mutt, huh? oh but if you're good. you get the nice reward of being called a puppy, of him cooing at you like you ARE something sweet and delicate. petting your hair like you truly are a dog. he wouldn't want to admit it, but he does actually take lots of joy and pleasure in being close to you like that. having a loyal dog at his side is a thrilling thing, and the contact is nice.
he's 100% figuring out a way to get a collar for you. including a leash for him to tug on. regardless of it's something makeshift or not, he wants everyone to know that you are HIS mutt. and yes, he WILL get mad if you take it off. you don't want his ownership? you don't think baby can take care of his pup? fuck you! expect some sort of punishment in your near future.
he doesn't mind you being bad, so long as it isn't you hitting him with anything, because it just means he can put you in your place. whether it's pressing your face into his groin and telling you to put that slobbery tongue of yours to good use, or just using the stock of his lupara to smack you and yelling "bad dog!" much advised to stay on his good side, though, because he WILL make you act more and more like a dog the more you piss him off. you want to act like a mutt, then you'll be treated like one. he won't hesitate to hold the trial hostage just to make you crawl around on all fours or even piss yourself in front of him for his own amusement. hell, you don't even get to speak if you've made him mad enough. bark, and maybe you can get back into his good graces.
ohhh but if you're good for him. he loves this a lot, really. it's one thing to always come running back to him, but being good, as well? he likes it. it makes him feel big and important, and he definitely still will be mean to you and lord over you like the prince he knows himself to be, but he's definitely going to give you a few treats here and there. for his good pup, of course. his mutt only deserves the best! plus, he'll listen to a few more of your requests. be a bit nicer to you. only if he feels like it, though, so don't expect too much from him.
in particular, he likes having you beneath him. you're a dog, he's your owner, that means YOU service HIM. in his eyes, anyway. and you better listen well, because he won't be pleased with a disobedient mutt! definitely going to try to teach you "tricks" which are actually just commands/gestures signaling for you to do something. whether it's showing yourself off to him in some way, or even mouthing at his crotch like the dog you are. although even in a non-sexual manner, he's going to sic you on other reagents (or, hell, imposters!) he likes seeing his mutt hunt, who can blame him? it's an admirable quality in a dog.
although with Franco as the puppy? it certainly wasn't his idea. not because he isn't into it, but because he's so deep in his mommy kink, it wasn't something he thought of initially. but... he certainly doesn't mind being demeaned. being treated like a dog isn't the worst, even if he was conflicted on it at first. mostly, he like having your hands on him. regardless of if it's smacking him or petting and caressing him. he's all over you, really, always begging and whining for some sort of attention.
he did NOT want to wear a collar at first. it felt too dehumanizing, too grossly pathetic. but... it wasn't completely unappealing, and the idea of being yanked around by it? ohhh, he was practically salivating at the thought. he's conflicted about it still, both humiliated and proud of it. like yeah, that's his owner, so what? but also. Franco Barbi? someone's DOG? ugh. he will likely eternally struggle with these feelings.
he does misbehave on purpose. he likes how you sound when you're mad or exasperated with him. it gets his non-existent tail wagging to see you all annoyed, just because he Knows what's coming. being scolded and hit, he's already feeling himself twitch in his pants.
although, if you're the sort who can't get mad at him... he's abusing that as much as possible. being as bad as he can be, just to bathe in your affection and light. part of him is a bit afraid that one day, one day he'll do something Too awful and bad and fuck it all up and lose a good thing, but for now? for now, he's indulging the side of him that wants to have that gentleness offered to him. all soft hands and words, which isn't something he gets often, if ever. sue him for wanting to think it won't be taken away from him.
i like to think he'd make good use of his oral fixation like this, too. you want his mouth somewhere? ohhh, he'll gladly get to work, you just need to direct him where. or even if you don't, he'll be trying to find that location regardless. oh, and the humping. you don't even have to ask. he's already grinding against your shoe or leg as much as possible, just hoping that you do something about it. it depends primarily on his mood whether or not he wants to be good or bad for you. is he craving punishment or kindness today? you'll know within the first minute of being in the trial.

omg this was so long SORRYYYY i just have so many thoughts on this š and sorry for taking a bit to get to you i was..... super locked in on trials, forgive me š tysm for the ask though!!!! genuinely i loved talking about this and was SO happy to receive this... love u anonnn (and also so sorry if this is. not what you expected or wanted)
realizing i need dividers or something for this account rn auuughhh i need to be able to separate my thoughts more neatly !!! to the lovely anon who sent me an ask!! MY WHOLE ANSWER IS DONE I'M JUST FUSSING WITH THE FORMATTING RN !!!!
ohhh rebirthing. Franco's worst nightmare for his reagent lover, really. sure, you could say it was bound to happen, but how was he supposed to know you'd actually manage it? let alone go through with it. seeing you in that mansion, or in the warped territory of his own trial... he'd be pulling you close the moment he could. this is a betrayal of the highest degree, you trying to leave him. he's threatening you, half tempted to shoot you right here and right now if only because then you wouldn't be able to leave him. might hurt you just enough so that you can't leave, because no way in hell is he letting you abandon him.
but god, if he didn't see you. he'd be like a dog waiting for its owner to come back. days pass, fine, whatever, it's not like he sees you that often anyway, with how the trials are scheduled. a week or two, must just be unlucky. although he's beginning to think maybe Murkoff found out you two were getting a little too close. by the time it's been more than a month, he's devastated. are you dead? where are you? is he gonna see you strung up as a victim in his trials, like some sick, twisted punishment? he hopes the fuck not, but he doesn't know where you've gone and it makes him want to vomit. he does his best to simply not think about it, but he still crosses his fingers every time they wheel a new victim in.
i NEEEEED to be Franco Barbi's puppy. his mutt he orders around. and then he pets my hair when i do well. Ask Me More About Franco Puppyplay Please. i mostly mean Reader being the puppy but honestly Franco being a puppy is drool worthy as well
i don't think Franco would actually care that much about his partner being dominant or submissive. like yes, we know he prefers a dominant woman, but that's also mostly a sex thing. he's not going to refuse genuine affection/intimacy just because you're a little shy about it, hell, he'd be flattered that you were nervous because of him.
also, for him? top, bottom, dom, sub, he can be any combination of these things. it really doesn't matter. so he'd adapt pretty well to his lover's needs and personality. obviously he'd still be his natural, bratty self, but he'd be pleased as punch either way.
i do think he deserves a switch x switch relationship, though. so both sides of him can be fed equally. nurtured or demeaned, depending on his needs at the time.
dramatic!! anyway i (finally) deleted that and turned it back into a draft. which is what it was SUPPOSED to be. i kept forgetting it existed and then i'd scroll through my blog and see it... and then remember i should add stuff to it. usually i just stare at my drafts until an idea comes to me.
truthfully i don't usually think about modern aus, so i had to take some time to ponder this, but i can try some!
going from general -> romantic -> nsfw here since i wasn't wholly sure what kind you wanted!
while Sean CAN drive, if it's available, he's always taking the public transport option. walking, bus, train. hell, he'd rather take a bicycle. you might think it's to save money, but he really doesn't even think about that aspect of it, it's just habit for him.
he's much more focused on being outside than inside, and probably doesn't have much social media other than twitter. would have a reddit account but it's purely for the sake of getting answers to questions he has.
and despite not being big on social media stuff, he does unfortunately enjoy mainstream memes and whatnot. somewhere between that gen z and millennial humor. he does also think whatever gen alpha is doing is hilarious. he will send these memes to you, and they won't be funny, but it is crucial you respond in some way, shape, or form. thankfully, he has other jokes. better jokes.
political standing actually IS important to him in a relationship. after all, if you think he or other immigrants shouldn't be in America, he probably doesn't want to be with you, yeah? otherwise, he'd love to complain about the state of America with you.
because he's more of an outdoors guy, this means most dates he plans are going to be focused on the outdoors also! he's not much for movie dates or eating at a restaurant, but he'd love to take you on a picnic or out hiking or something. still, if you're more introverted, he'd at least find a more private place for you two to be alone. and if neither of those are to your liking, he still doesn't mind the other options. after all, he's just trying to spend time with you.
he's not purely vanilla when it comes to sex, but because he's more into hookup culture than other things, he doesn't really get to explore this much. he's not really in any kink communities, online OR in person.
i wanted to come up with more for this but i genuinely don't know!!! soooo sorry for taking so long i was thinking and brain storming this š
convincing Franco Barbi that you really do think of him as attractive would be nearly impossible. he might talk all big and confident about himself, but he KNOWS the way people see him and WILL assume you are mocking him or lying if you call him anything like pretty or hot.
it might not be immediately obvious he doesn't believe you, because there is the chance he'll play along for the sake of appearances. but he is going to be mostly frustrated and annoyed with flirting before he ever considers that maybe, just maybe, you're actually serious.
everyone and their mother knows about Franco Barbi's mommy kink. what i don't think people consider is that him having a daddy kink isn't that far-fetched either. his mother wasn't present at all, sure, but his dad was and he wasn't a particularly loving man.
much less degradation and dominance focused, much more doting and affectionate. a daddy who'd treat him like the prince he is. he wants to be your baby, y'know? you ought to defend him, take care of him, everything. and if you do? god, he loves it.
