my first curt and rod request thank you mwah

the bully's name is just 'Bully' cause uh.. I'm uncreative,, also names are hard and someone reading might be named that,, sorry.

bully's gender is up to interpretation, dude is used as a gender neutral term.

tw: bullying, some swearing, and mentions of physical abuse

----

Curt & Rod

= Curt and Rod decided to take you out for a simple date, just a walk around town, to definitely not look at others and throw shade at those who deserved it. It was going great, laughing at stupid jokes, and playfully making fun of one another, never going too far with the shade.

= That was until you spotted them, halting in your tracks. Your old high school bully, the same one who threw you to the ground, locked you in the closet to force you to skip class, and got yelled at when you went home by your parents/guardian. The same one is currently walking toward you. You hide behind Curt and Rod, who look confused and worried as you hide behind them. They were used to it since you hid behind them whenever someone random came to the door, but they've never seen you this scared.

= You tried to tug the two away to find some place else, but were quickly stopped by the former bully, who hasn't changed a bit, well, personality-wise. Bully spoke up, stopping you with a harsh grab to the shoulder and asking where you were going. The words caused you to tense and freeze up, unable to move as the familiar, cruel voice rang through your skull once more. Curt and Rod were quick to put a stop to the bully touching or saying anything more to you.

= "Nah, who the hell are you and why are you touching OUR lover?" Curt questioned, with Rob standing close by while blocking you from Bully's view. The two were glaring, clearly not happy with how distressed you were towards this person. Curt's hands were on his hips while Rod's hands crossed over his chest.

= Bully explains in a sickening sweet tone that you two were old friends and they wanted to catch up with you. Curt and Rod stare at Bully, then at the other, and then at you. You shake your head no, telling the duo that this was the person who made your life a living hell during high school.

= "Oh, them?! Ooh..." Curt and Rod look over the bully with disgust before smirking at each other, already knowing what was about to happen. You had told them about the bully before during one of your more deeper conversations, needly to say, both were pissed off and ready.

= "You? With that haircut? And those split ends? Do you even shower, dude, 'cause I could smell you a mile away, damn. Oh, honey, is that a jersey from high school you're still wearing? *Someone* peaked in high school and fell down *hard* after. That shit dirtier than your shoes." Curt waves a hand in front of his face, glaring at the bully with a disgusted look.

= "And if we wanted to hear an asshole, I woulda farted. You ain't worth the fuck it took to make you. C'mon." Rod quickly turns and takes you, leaving the bully's self-worth in shambles and unable to find a comeback against the masters at throwing shade.

= Curt and Rod take you somewhere else, a quieter, calmer place. They ask if you're alright, sitting on either side of you as they sit you on a bench to calm down. They remain by your side until you're calm again and thank them for helping you deal with Bully.

= "Hey, it's rule five, babe, always defend your homies." Curt says with a smile, giving you a quick peck on the cheek. Rod gives your hand a soft squeeze, leaning against you.

= "Yeah, and you don't gotta worry 'bout that person anymore. Did you see his face when we left?" Rod cackled, making Curt laugh with him. The three of you spend the next few minutes talking while you give them more ammo on the bully to throw shade at. The next time on their talk show, they both go on for a full hour on your bully, having to take multiple breaks to catch their breath from laughing so much. Your bully is thankfully never seen or heard from again.

---

Dorian

= Dorain had treated you to a fancy dinner near the club where he worked, inviting you out after a long week of promises and apologies for being so overworked and unable to make time for you. He is able to make it up to you through your favorite foods and desserts. The night was lovely, talking about everything and anything, until you spot your past bully enter.

= Memories of abuse and haunting words flash through you again, as if you were getting punched and beaten all over again while everyone just watched or cheered. You were snapped back into reality when Dorian carefully placed his hand over yours, asking if you were alright. You hesitate before gesturing toward Bully, telling him that they were the person who tortured you through high school.

= Dorian's eyes went wide, and he straightened up, a look of both worry and protectiveness as he looked around. He quickly spotted Bully and frowned, looking back toward you. Dorian asked if you wanted to leave a little early and head back to your place to watch a movie or something instead, not caring about the rest of the night he had planned for you. You briefly glance over at Bully, but Dorian pulls you back.

= "Just keep your eyes on me, luv. I'll keep you safe from that bastard, I promise. Don't give them the satisfaction of a scared glance."

= He waved over the waiter, asking for the check as soon as possible. You keep your eyes on Dorian as he gives you a warm smile, his hand still over yours, and comfortingly brushing his thumb over your knuckles.

= "It'll be alright, luv." He says, trying to keep you calm despite your bully being barely a foot away. You feel a shiver go down your spine when you feel your bully's eyes on you, a feeling that made you sick to your stomach. The deep ache of those hits slowly came back, worming under your skin.

= Dorian knew about the bully and what they had done to you, knowing that they were in the same room made his blood boil. He wanted to go over and confront the bastard himself, to show them what it felt like to be the smaller person. But he needed to be there for you first and foremost.

= Once the check came, Dorian paid it in full, leaving a good tip as well, even if he didn't have to. He took your hand and left, keeping you close to his side as the two of you walked. You faulted briefly, but gave your bully just enough time to catch up to you and grab your wrist to try and pull you back.

= "Hey, where are you goin'?" Bully asked in a mocking tone, but before they could tighten their grip, Dorian grabbed the bully's arm and ripped it from you, glaring the bully down. His hold was rougher and harder than expected, but the audacity of your past bully had genuinely pissed Dorian off. It was almost scary to see him like this, even if it wasn't directed toward you. Also, just a tiny, little bit attractive.

= "What'dya want with my partner, *mate*? 'Cause if it's something stupid, we're gonna have a big problem here." Dorian said, not leaving out the underlying threat he would gladly carry out to get back at the bastard who tortured you for years. The bully was thankfully smart enough not to mess with a large man and took a step back, but Dorian's grip was firm and pulled them right back.

= "Don't you ever come near my partner or me again, do you understand, you tosser? You don't want to find out if you do, yeah? So, piss off." He shoved the bully away, glaring at them with hate and anger in his eyes. The bully quickly ran, not wanting to take the chance of going against the bouncer.

= Dorian smiled down at you, the anger melting as soon as your eyes met his.

= "Told you I'd protect you, luv." He leaned down and kissed your forehead, his beard scratching your browline.

writing insults for curt n rod were really fun lol also unhinged dorian will now be on my mind for the next few hours

get it unhinged?

Can you write Post Realization Tony, Eddie/Volt and Hector reacting to visiting player and they accidentally discover a plushie of themselves in pre-realized form. Player has commissioned someone to make and deliver plushies of their lovers to hug and kiss, but they're a bit embarrassed to tell them.

Bonus: Player admits that they have the plushies for stress comfort too whenever they're drained out and needed something to cuddle.

I only write for two characters at a time, sorry!!! I promise I'll write one for Eddie and Volt soon!

Post Realization Tony + Hector (separate)/Reader who has a plushy of them

Tony

= Tony made sure to always show up at least three times a week to make sure you had company and were well cared for. He was pleasantly surprised and quite flattered that you had gotten a plush of him that was actually well made. He had no idea they even made toolbox plushies.

= He finds it when you go to grab something to eat. The toolbox plush is sitting in the middle of the bed, sticking out like a sore thumb. Tony is initially confused as he opens it, only to find his name stitched on the inside with a plushy that resembles him before he was Realized. The plush toolbox even came with mini plushy tools. Tony can't help but chuckle, finding it cute that you had missed him this bad that you needed a plushy of him.

= He admired the craftsmanship of the plushy; sure, it was simple, but also well done. Two blue dots as his eyes looked to the side with a cocky smirk. The helmet was removable with a small patch of black velcro on the head that blended in with the plushy's hair. He tried to lift the shirt to see if you got his abs right, but was slightly disappointed to find out the shirt was sewn on

= When you come back, Tony is messing with the plushies, trying to put the small screwdriver in plushy Tony's toolbelt. He jumps when he sees you standing there, clearly embarrassed about his find. Tony uses this opportunity to tease you about the plush, asking if you missed him that much that you needed something to remind you of him.

= You're very embarrassed to admit it, but you do, telling Tony that he had been gone for a while and that you just missed him a lot. This makes him blush and freeze for a moment, feeling bad that the last few weeks he had focused on getting out there and making a name for himself while putting you to the side.

= "Awe, baby, I'm sorry." Tony hugs you tight, hand on the back of your head as he holds you. He pulls away quickly if you don't like physical touch. If you do, he holds you close while rocking you slowly. He promises to spend more time with you, sealing that promise with a kiss.

= He teases you relentlessly about getting a plushy of him, sometimes waving it in your face while speaking in a more high-pitched tone about how he loves and cares about you. He secretly puts a small voice box in the plush, with a recording of his voice telling you that he loves you and not to forget.

= "Love ya, babe, don't forget, okay?" It says.

= If you're feeling sad or upset, Tony will crouch on the ground so you can't see him and raise the plushy of him up and make it dance to make you laugh. When he's not around, you hug and cuddle the plush, squeezing it to hear his voice. It's like he's always there with you, even if he's not.

= Tony comes back late one night, wanting to see and have a night of holding you in his arms again. He walks upstairs and can't help but smirk when he sees that you're cuddling with the plush of him as you sleep. He teases you relentlessly about it in the morning.

Hector

= Hector tried to visit as frequently as he could, but his business had taken up a lot of his time. He tries to call at least every day, but it's completely different than talking in person. Loneliness started to creep in, and you found yourself in need of comfort that only Hector could provide. Sam, being herself, found someone who could make plushies of loved ones, pets, anything really... and you commissioned them to make a plushy of Hector.

= You were able to make a small box to keep him in with a vent in the front, sticking plushy Hector's little nubs that were his hands out of it, like when you first met him.

= Hector was finally able to visit, apologising with a few gifts to make up for his absence and forgotten promises. After a while, he had went to your room to grab something he forgot last time he was there when he noticed the box. He frowned, noticing it had a few heart stickers on it and was clearly made with love, but also in the corner, as if you were attempting to hide it quickly. Hector would have brushed it off, but something about it made him curious.

= He kneeled next to the box and turned it, surprising himself to find... a smaller version of himself staring back at him. Hector opened the box and carefully grabbed the plush. He was speechless and very flattered that you got a plush of him, of all things and objects. He couldn't help but blush, becoming flustered that you loved him so much to get a plushy of him.

= Speaking of flustered, you catch Hector holding the plush before finally noticing you. He stammers, trying to get his feelings out with his words. He finally calms down and is able to ask why. You hesitate, very much embarrassed that he had found the plush, telling yourself you should have shoved the box in the closet or something, but you admit to Hector that you felt lonely and missed him.

= The guilt hits Hector first as he frowns and begins to apologize profusely, promising to make more time to spend it with you, all while still holding the plush. He seals the promise with a kiss and the offer to help you make dinner.

= Hector finds the fact that you got the plush cute. You find him sometimes posing it in the box you made. He also makes mini masks for fun to make you smile, placing them on the mini plush Hector.

= One night, when he's a little late to come back home, he finds you snuggled up with the Hector plush, holding it close to your chest. Hector feels his heart melt, watching you with a warm smile as you cuddle the plush. He carefully replaces it with himself, wrapping his arms around you and holding you tight. He feels you relax a little more in his arms, now snuggling up to him instead.

= Eventually, he finds the person you commissioned and submits his own request, asking them to make a mini you. Hector surprises you with it when he receives it, showing it off proudly. Now you know how he felt seeing a mini form of him.

= You can't help but take the plushy you and press the face of it against Hector's cheek, pretending to make it kiss him. He gets so flustered, it's adorable.

= The two plushies sit happily on the box rather than inside it, both leaning against each other and holding hands.

i would fr kill someone for a telly or tyrell plush

I imagine Eddie and Volt maybe pinning a bit upon the first meeting and the rumors from around the house but when they actually meet, they're shocked at how offput the reader is by them?

Volt tries his best to flirt it up and be a great host to get the reader on his good side but the whole interaction the reader is just a nervous mess because 'we just met why is he flirting so hard? I don't even know him. Oh God what if he's trying to make fun of me or show the rest of the house how stupid I am?'

Reader shows genuine concern for Eddie but when they go check on him he essentially tells them to get lost and he's fine. So reader visibly flinches and deflates before leaving not wanting to make him uncomfortable or hate them more (they were just trying to help why was he so mean? Does he think they're incapable of helping? Does he already hate you? Oh he probably DEFINETLY already hates you; you asked to help him too many times, you're so dumb for thinking he'd want your help)

The whole interaction the boys can't seem to figure out exactly what went wrong? Why you don't come see them a second time. Why some other objects talked about how distressed you were the rest of the day.

They've heard such great things about you and think you're amazing but somehow they messed it up and don't know how to get you to like them. (If Volt couldn't do it what the heck do they do?!)

me at half the dateables

Eddie & Volt/Distrusting+Anxious!Reader

= Eddie and Volt only heard good things about you from everyone, even Lux had good things to say about you. The duo couldn't help but be a little excited to meet you, Volt especially. Volt had already set up a special VIP table just for you whenever you swung by, close to the talent on the stage, and close enough to the bar for Volt or Eddie to serve you.

= When you finally do come to The Breaker Box, Volt puts on his usual persona, but with more flirtiness and charm. He greets you warmly with that signature smile of his, holding out his hand for you to take. Volt is surprised when you tense and hesitate, taking his hand only for a quick moment to shake. He can see the distrust and nervousness on your face.

= Volt is quick to recover, leading you to the seat he had picked for you to enjoy the show, which was just Johnny again, and then offering you a drink. He didn't mind when you told him no, knowing a few other objects in the house also didn't drink either. Something told him deep down that it was more than that, though. The constant nervous expression on your face made him a little uneasy about himself, wondering if he had done something wrong to upset or make you anxious in some way. Volt had done what he always did, welcoming everyone with a charming smile... so what made you so nervous around him?

= Eddie gives you a quick greeting as well, only a simple wave and a hello. He doesn't miss the almost uncomfortable expression on your face, reminding him of a scared inanimal almost. You're on his mind as he does his best to avoid the patrons of the bar and fix up little things he can here and there.

= It's easy to pick up that despite the popularity, The Breaker Box isn't in the best shape. The lights flicker every once in a while with a soft, unnatural buzzing sound constantly humming throughout the place. Volt looks like he's forcing more of his host personality now, only making you feel more nervous about what he was saying to the frequent guests. Was he talking about you behind your back? Trying to get more information on you so he can get up on stage and sing out your secrets?! You couldn't help but hate your brain for thinking like this... force of habit, you suppose. Maybe Eddie would be better to talk to, you tell yourself, the bags under his eyes spoke volumes.

= After the less-than-stellar performance from Johnny, the bar is soon empty, leaving only you and Eddie. You can't help but notice how exhausted he looked, nursing on a drink made by him. The drink looked strong too, clearly to take the edge off something. You hesitated, but found it in yourself to get up and ask if he was alright. He turns with an annoyed glare shot toward you, causing you to take a step away from him as a look of regret and anxiety forms on your face.

= Eddie regrets his glare and forces himself to calm down, taking another long sip. He tells you that the bar is closed and you should get going. He's slightly surprised when you ask if something is wrong due to all the flickering lights and other odd sounds, but brushes you off. You then ask if he's alright, a genuine question that throws him off guard. Eddie tells you, quite firmly, that he's fine, the club is fine, so you should go. Now. He once again regrets his words, watching with a frown as you deflate and leave quickly without another word, passing Volt on your way out.

= Volt frowns and asks what happened, asking Eddie if he had scared off their newest customer. The latter sighs and waves Volt off, downing his drink before making himself another one.

= The next day, Eddie goes on like usual, but with a feeling of guilt in his gut. He shouldn't feel like this over someone he had just met... but you were the human of the house, the most important person in this place. Maybe it was for the best you kept away from a shithole like this, Eddie told himself.

= He notices Volt keeping an eye out more, scanning through the objects that come in for you. Eddie can't help but look for you as well, meaning to apologize for his rude behavior.

= Volt, being his charming self, asks around for you to the objects he knew you were close with. They shrug and say you didn't want to come and said you looked pretty down after you visited the bar. The duo now feel even worse, knowing that you most likely wouldn't come back.

= When the bar closes, Eddie and Volt have a heart-to-heart conversation about you, telling each other exactly what they said and did. Eddie could understand why you left because of him, but Volt? He was more open, friendly, and already quite taken with you. He's also a little pissed off at Eddie for being so rude to you, but he can't be too mad, knowing that's just how he is.

= They end up asking Dorian to ask you to come back to The Breaker Box for a nice night out and a sincere apology since he's everywhere and already friends with you. He says he'll try, but you looked pretty dejected and upset when you left.

= Eddie and Volt wait for a few days, but you never end up coming back...

sorry for the sad ending, i couldn't help myself-

i was writing a fic but my computer crashed and deleted 1.7k words of fanfic so I'm making headcanons instead to give me motivation to rewrite the fanfic!

tw: stalking, obsessive behavior, suggestive content, hector being creepy, hector talking bad about himself, mentions of somophilia (nothing ever happens but hector thinks about it), gaslighing, dead dove content

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! if you find any of the content above triggering, PLEASE do not read!! if you click, read, and become uncomfortable or smth don't blame me, i tried to warn you.

fiiinnneeeee only because i lowkey feel bad for how dark it got (and also i love writing for dorian)

More Dorian/Reader headcanons

= Dorian is surprisingly good at remembering your favorite foods, treats, snacks, and drinks. It's most likely due to the many years of being a door and keeping track of banned and welcomed faces, but it's also because he loves you. Don't be surprised if a Food Fetch (Date Everything's version of Door Dash) order is outside your door with your favorite food when you've been feeling down.

= For someone who used to be a door, Dorian is surprisingly warm and comfortable to lie on and cuddle with. He'll let you lie on him after a long day of work as you both watch TV or a movie, or maybe just talk about anything and everything.

= Not big into PDA, but if you're feeling uncomfortable or scared, Dorian will wrap his arm around your shoulders and lead you home or somewhere safer. If you're not comfortable with that, he won't, of course.

= He can't lie to you. Even small white lies are a struggle for him. Dorian looks away, making an obvious face that he's lying, but it's only about small things like a surprise birthday or something. It's also easy to tell because he'll change the subject and move on.

= "So, anything new?" "... no, definitely not. Anyways, what about that book you've been reading?"

= Dorian owns up to his mistakes and takes responsibility if he messes up big time, even if you'll get mad at him for it.

= He knows nine languages besides English and will gladly help you learn one or speak with you in another if you're more comfortable speaking in your mother tongue. If you do want to learn another language, he'll teach you as best he can, but he's not a very good teacher. Sure, he'll teach you how to speak, write, and read, but it's not a professional level if you're trying to learn fully. Will help you with Grammar and stuff, though.

= "Ich... lieben dich..." "Close, but *lieben* should be *liebe*. Sie lieben dich oder ich liebe dich." "Ich liebe dich." "Sehr gut."

= Dorian is not a big fan of music, but LOVES to listen to you sing. He finds himself with the ghost of a smile on his lips listening to you, no matter how good or bad you think you are, he thinks you sound lovely.

sorry for the angst throws this as an apology and runs away

breaking news: evil manipulator found alive and semi-well, but not for long!

Telly goes by They/He pronouns, sorry for any confusion

cw: drug use mention

Post Realization Eddie & Volt/Reader: Finding Keith alive

= Volt is the first to notice Keith while talking with Eddie about upcoming date ideas with you. He perks up, pausing mid-conversation as he stares and realizing who it is. He glares, feeling red, hot anger running through his veins. Eddie, confused on why Volt is suddenly pissed off, looks over and instantly becomes pissed off as well.

= They remembered how sad you looked, close to tears as you explained with both anger and sorrow how Keith had lied to you, manipulated your feelings, robbed you, and then flew off somewhere to go get high and waste your hard-earned money. Eddie had to calm Volt down from blowing a fuse and charging after the key himself to strangle him. Eddie also wanted to find and get back at Keith, but you needed them first. You got a lot of free comfort drinks and snacks.

= Volt rises from his chair, his eyes never leaving the retreating Keith. He suggests having a "nice" chat with the key. Eddie gets a bad feeling, wanting to interject to have a nice night with you without any distractions or bad past memories. But then he remembers the sadness in your eyes, how you stared up at the two of them with vulnerable tears in your eyes, seeking their comfort. He finds the right motivation to punch an old man in the face suddenly.

= The two walk up to Keith, Eddie behind, as Volt wraps an arm around Keith and pulls him away from the crowd forcefully. Keith struggles and opens his mouth to speak, only to see Volt barely holding back from beating Keith. Eddie could tell that Keith was not sober.

= "Ah, how *lovely* to see you again, Keith! Now, a certain live wire told me that you haven't been the nicest person when you were Realized... really made our beloved human cry." Volt's voice was strained and forced, laced with fake happiness.

= Eddie and Volt only get more pissed off as Keith tells Volt that he could care less about what happened to you after he left, he could never love someone like you.

= Eddie was right behind Keith to get back what the key owed until Volt punched Keith square in the nose, knocking him out cold. Eddie quickly looked around before looking back at Volt, asking him what the hell he was doing. Volt gives Eddie a satisfied smile and says that Keith was lucky that he wasn't made of electricity, still, or it would have been much worse.

= The two were able to conduct their own personal revenge for you and even get back most of the cash that was stolen. They place Keith at an empty table in the back unceremoniously and go back to the table you three were supposed to meet up at.

= You were pleasantly surprised to receive an "early/late birthday gift" of a couple of hundred bills. They two said that you deserved it after everything that a certain key had done to you, and thankfully, you still thought Keith to be dead. Eddie and Volt planned to keep it that way to keep that lovely smile on your face.

= "Wait, what's all this white stuff on it?" "Oh, shit."

= Alt Ending: Volt strangles Keith while Eddie comes up behind him with a baseball bat. Don't ask about the strange mound of dirt in the back.

Post Realization Telly/Reader: Finding Keith alive

= Telly invited you to a new, limited-time restaurant based on a TV show you both enjoyed. They arrived first, making sure everything was set up nicely just for you, when he spotted Keith.

= "Houston, we got a problem."

= Why was someone like Keith doing at a place like this? Telly wondered, looking around the place, before spotting a very important producer sitting with a few clients. The owner of the show itself. Telly was both excited and... slightly nervous? If Keith was able to lie and manipulate his way into the rich producers' friend group, or worse, the show itself, who knows what the lying key would do?

= Telly remembered how sad you looked when you explained to them how Keith had lied and used you, stealing your money, and making fun of you for being stupid enough to be so trusting. Telly comforted you with lots of hugs, kisses, favorite snacks, and comfort shows to try and cheer you up.

= They stand and make their way over to Keith, loudly greeting him with a forced smile.

= "Hey, Keith! My man with the diabolical plan? Still robbing people for no reason other than to be cruel? 'Cause that makes you just a fool!" (rhyming is hard sorry.)

= Keith pauses, clearly surprised to see Telly and hesitates. Telly's plan worked, thankfully, the producer glaring at the two of them and moving away with a suspicious eye. Telly smirks and walks up close, his cheerful expression dropping to a hard glare.

= "I'm bein' for real, don't come back now, ya hear? 'Cause if you do, you'll scream with fear." It was very rare that the cheerful ex-televison made threats, making the line even scarier. Telly has seen a lot of TV, meaning a lot of violence and other unmentionables. Bones has nothing on him if he were to... Keith was gone without a word, thankfully, otherwise Telly probably would have punched him in the face.

= Telly's mood shifts instantly when you show up, waving you over. They hesitat to tell you about their encounter with Keith, wondering if you would rather be better off knowing that the scumbag was dead. But it would be best to warn you if the key did come back.

= Telly bravely tells you about how Keith came in and how they bravely defended this amazing new restaurant, kicking the key to the curb and telling him to not come back before slamming the door. They tell you that the restaurant applauded for saving the day, heavily overexaggerating the story to make you laugh and smile.
