#nomad's asks

"y'all I just remembered how fucking ANCIENT Deacon is cause of the shit he told me he was there to SEE" Connors listener chiming in with "Mother fucker you would not believe the shit Connor said they both saw live" "this is why I'm mated to the werewolf who's my age..."

To

"Ok but you did see the way he was looking at you right? It's not just me. Heart eyes right at you!"

"No?"

"Bitch the denial..."

That or them just pitching violent murderous plans cause someone was rude and they all get in on it. Animatedly.

The lads have seen the group chat, once. They live in fear of these three's friend group...

Like, it's a lot of Pack Parent just... being just amazed how old both Deacon and Connor are and amused at how constantly exasperated the three of them are as human partners to supernatural beings.

(Regardless if Little One and Deacon aren't together yet)

Little One is much softer and honestly, while probably capable of murder - they're less likely to jump to it... Being the way they reacted to Deacon even mentioning killing for them.

But.... Hypothetically, they can plan it.

And with their vamp in their life, they have so many more ideas.

Deacon is likely much more amused with it, reading his darling little one, so sweet and so soft... Talking about murder as if they would go through with it is something else. (not him picking on them about it as if he wouldn't eviscerate someone for them 🙄)

Caleb is... Way more turned on about how scary his mate is than he should be. Seriously - the idea of the actual love his life putting some fuckwit in their place just... Does stuff to him. We know the motorcycle and shotgun thing just made him all more wolf-like.

Connor is centuries old but just the descriptors and just the near meticulous planning going on in the chat both amazes and terrifies him. Decapitation is one thing but Den Mom's rather descriptive anecdote about viscera just makes him shiver.

Brb, on my way to sob my eyes out because all the art is so good.

(is this you, connor's anon? because babe, you gotta start signing your asks so I can tell it's you)

I'm... He's such a darling and his most recent audio has got me all heart fluttery

I ADORE Pali's art too so Nomad has made such a wonderful choice in commissioning them.

Their art style is so cozy.

Pair that with CONNOR???? The sawft man himself??

I love.

I live.

I BREATHE.

Soft boi Connor.

Villain: *raging at someone with a sword drawn and everything*

Wifey: "Dear?"

Villain: *in the sweetest tone* "Yes, love? Is everything alright? :)"

I mean remember the picnic episode he was out here strangling his soldier, picked up off the ground by the throat and as soon as his spouse called for him "Yes beloved?" In that strained kind tone like... Heart eyes?

If he ever shows mercy, it is clearly only at the behest of Beloved. They can sort of reason with him to be a little more lenient towards people that don't deserve his ire.

Eventually people just understand if you want to live, be good to his spouse.

Anyone that has wronged them in the past probably starts sweating up a storm when the whole country finds out the royal heir's husband burned down a city and snatched the entire kingdom from imperial control all for them.

People try kissing up to Beloved to get close to their husband but it's a matter of not gaining Villain's attention at all.

He might kill them because he read them for having bad intentions or because he's simply being possessive.

Depending on how nice Beloved is feeling, they'll walk out just barely with injury or never walk again.

He looks at them and sees how dark their eyes have gone. He takes this opportunity to taunt the boss (even he knows he shouldn’t)

"What's wrong, can't handle being in the face of an born and bred mob boss?" Mitch can't help but sneer just a bit, baring his teeth in a very wolfish manner.

The man snapped his eyes over to him, furious, about to snap something about shutting up.

But he choked on his words when the feeling of metal resting against the side of his face.

The boss slowly shifted his gaze back to Lamb and couldn't breathe at all at the oppressive, crushing, terror of death that loomed now inches from his face.

Peering into the eyes, dark eyes twisting and swirling.

Lamb's voice was sweet, soft. It would be reassuring for anyone else... But the words out of their mouth is straight venom, they practically coo, "It only took me to rip through a full warehouse of weak men... Mine are seizing your base and home as we speak."

They pulled away, the men breathed out but - they just cracked him across the face with his pistol.

They loomed over him still.

"L - Lamb...?" Mitch tried softly.

Lamb quietly looked at him, seeing him tied up and busted up. Their face softened, hard shadows falling away.

They smile, gentle and sweet. "Hi, Puppy... Can you... Can you close your eyes for me? I..."

They looked down at the still stunned man, who was gibbering on about sparing his life.

"I don't want you to see me do this..."

I kind of had like a vague idea but since you asked, I decided to give a little scrib. If there are characters that use they/them or are considered gender neutral, then they mostly pop in my head as such.

Since we know they carry the last name "Lorenzo" so imagined them to be either of Hispanic or Filipino -

Braids are a pain to draw so I don't do them often.

I also imagine them with a spider tattoo they got after their initiation into the famiglia. Unsurprisingly, it's a little black widow - but the red marking is an hour glass.

They've got a real sweet face too - I'd akin their scary face to something like...

(scopophobia warning under the cut)

But say some high up Noble or even royal, beautiful, youthful, intelligent. They come onto the scene during some gathering of the kingdoms honestly believing that if they just have a few conversations with the listeners husband that he'd honestly replace his beloved like 🫰

And obviously villain knows that this person is eying him like a piece of meat through the night. He can ignore a mere irksome creature, cause his beloved is holding his arm and encouraging him to enjoy the sweets table and such

Ultimate spouse guy he's all for focusing on them as this party isn't supposed to be about working but celebration and his guards are around to keep an eye on things as well.

But whenever his beloved has to step away for a few minutes, of course this stranger makes their move, sliding over easily, laying their flirtations on rather heavily.

Villain is absolutely ready to just leave or kick them out just for being a nuisance but then they make some sort of demeaning remark towards his beloved and how they'll be a better match.

They reach out with intent to touch his arm and before he can tear them a new one for saying such things, his beloved is there, grabbing their outstretched hand in an iron grip that makes them wince.

Villain will readily admit seeing his beloved go off the way they did next will never leave his mind. He's blushing, darling did you mean to sound so possessive???

Smug bastard 10/10

Let his beloved get a lil protective as a ✨ treat ✨

Your brain man, I'm thriving.

He is much too devoted to Beloved to really focus on anyone trying to get into his good graces, he probably even thinks it's amusing if not insulting to think they could try and manipulate him.

Even being offended on his love's behalf that this cockroach thinks they could hold a candle to the beautiful creature he literally burned cities and killed for.

I'm sure at some point, someone suggested that he branch out and take on more people that can bare children - implying that he make himself a harem. He nearly decapitated them for their nerve and if this conversation was in front of his spouse, he'd have them flayed.

Villain is many things but a bad husband is not one.

The only reason this waste of air was allowed in his personal space was because they were weak. If his guards stepped in, they'd be a paper tiger in a storm.

But when his darling spouse returned with that glint in their eye, he'd be lying if the sight didn't make him weak in the knees.

He'd probably be all for the punishment they would consider, to disrespect his spouse was to disrespect him after all. Especially as a noble who clearly doesn't know their place that still sat under the foot of the royal family.

Villain could swoon if he could, enticed by the air around his love. Especially now as the little noble realized they were quite in over their head.

His love was forever diplomatic though, only considering forgiveness if the proud little brat prostrated themselves before them - apologize for being so tactless and rude.

But to his pleasure, Beloved didn't even consider forgiveness, waving their hand at a guard.

"Consider your family uninvited from further royal gatherings," They smiled like poison "we have no use for nobility that doesn't know their place."

They're about to protest, looking at Villain but are grabbed by the face by a particularly vengeful looking spouse. Gripping their face enough to leave bruises and wretch out a whine of pain.

"You should count your blessings that I don't strip you of your title."

They pale, freezing.

Beloved removed their hand and snapped their fingers, two armed guard steppin on either side of them.

"Escourt our guest off castle grounds," They move to slide their arms around their husband's neck and salt the wound by garnering his full attention with no effort "and don't be gentle".

People really just like to forget who Beloved is sometimes.

Delude themselves into thinking they were the soft, meek thing that was given to the now king... Just forgetting that it was their hand their father fell by.

oHHHH DO I

Okay, so I absolutely feel Gomez/Morticia with Villain Husband and Beloved first of all but anyhow

We know he was a servant growing up and from the class system was definitely annoyed with it... But there was one particular noble that he liked; an older gentleman that taught him how to draw and paint.

So he does so in his free time and it is how he maps out detailed plans.

He appreciates high art so well crafted items and prints were often pillaged. Not unlike the necklace he got Beloved for their wedding present.

After he married his spouse, the dates show that he draws them enough to fill out the rest of his sketchbooks. His favorite is a charcoal drawing of them sitting under a gazebo in their garden, a smiling at sparrow that landed on the spine of their book.

It is also noted he has one of them before they were married, likely having caught glimpse of them as they helped their citizens.

.... Likely as to why he agreed so readily is that he knew somewhat about the type of person they were.

Their father promised them to him sure, that's one of the reasons he agreed. Probably also planning on using them as a bargaining chip and even considering manipulating them if they were naive.

But no, they were spirited, kept their head up and remained brave. Not to be intimidated or scared.

Just weary.

... We know it didn't last, and eventually - the poor guy was head over heels.

“But ‘little lamb’ isn’t?”

Mitch is hesitant. what the hell does this guy want and why does he smell like his lamb.

"Wool is the name your baby Lamb gave me. They were a toddler at the time, couldn't pronounce 'Will'. It kinda just stuck after Johnny started calling me it too." The man cracked a fond smile.

"Johnny - ? Okay, who the hell are you?"

"I'm the Lorenzo don's right hand." He gently reached down and set his gun on the table, the handle facing Mitch before sitting back in the chair again. "And essentially the last remaining person they would consider family."

Mitch is somewhat flabbergasted, he's heard Lamb talk about their men very fondly. It was no secret to him they trusted their second wholly and deeply - it was what made him so jealous in ther first place.

What surprised him that they guy was here, in his office, call him them "Mitch's little Lamb"... Meaning he knew what they were to each other.

"I'm here as their family..." Wool's face is blank, portraying nothing. "And I'm here to talk."

Mitch can feel himself sweat, realizing this was a more dangerous version of "meet the parents".
