#reg talks

Just…

Please omit my boomer-level skills for bypassing Netflix's screenshot ban because I really need to talk about this line.

Recently, in a Twitch stream, Jayden Revri said that Charles is a Taurus, which, of course, can still be called into question, but supposing that's canonically true, we can safely assume that Edwin is referring to him in this scene. He knows Charles is a Taurus and is checking their compatibility, right?

But wait! Thanks to Monty, we know that Edwin is a Cancer. So, who is he talking about then?

Crystal. It's Crystal, y'all. Please observe her behaviour and tell me she's not an Aries. She's confident, competitive, honest, and impulsive. She's passionate and feels things intensely!

Edwin is investigating Charles' and Crystal's compatibility, which is a very Edwin thing to do, and we love a research king.

Now, I'm not an astrology person, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. However, I'm certain I can make a pretty strong case for this one.

it’s lead to this public view of him mostly being that he’s some forest dweller who only writes love songs to his human lover. his most social commentary songs are the least popular, which i know happens to every artist ever, but it just irks me especially with him, especially because he’s becoming more mainstream and more people are being dumb about his songs

so, anyway, here are some of my favorite of his commentary/protest songs, i urge you to listen!!

oh and here’s the speech he made at Ruoff on May 28th, filmed by me!

Well absolutely, anon! I feel you, I am always fighting for my life and then insisting on staying up until like, 2AM…

Various ERSATZ characters x chronically tired reader

TW/CW: not “softened” characters (tried to be close to canon), general war things, implied death, weapon/firearm mentions,

_____________________________________________

Carrie- 🦷

- Because Carrie is… Carrie, he honestly thought you were being lazy at first. (Listen, I know we all love Carrie, but you can’t deny he’s an asshole most of the time. I love him like that personally)

- But that mindset changed when he came into the mess hall and saw you face down on the table, Mophead looking very unsure what to do to help. That’s when he realized this wasn’t laziness, you were genuinely exhausted.

- As always, he’s very non-obvious about trying to help or generally caring for you.

- He talks to Warwick privately on giving you leeway, because you’re no good to anyone blown to bits, and even less when you’re too tired to even eat whatever they feed all of you.

- If you sleep more soundly being crushed under someone’s weight, he’ll oblige. Just warning you, he stinks, like cigarettes and alcohol.

- And again… he drools. Bad. Kinda comes with no cheeks and massive teeth that don’t allow for one’s mouth to close.

“Yknow I’m doing you a favor, getting Warwick off your arse. Get some rest, you’re no good to anyone when you can’t even eat your rations.”

Warwick- 🐗

- Significantly more hands-on than Carrie. He recognizes much sooner that something is wrong, and makes accommodations (With Kelly’s approval.)

- Unfortunately he can’t give you an entire free pass, but he does what he can. He encourages you to go check with the nurse, if it’s not something as simple as being unable to sleep soundly.

- He sympathizes with losing sleep though. He has days where he truly wishes he could stay in from the trenches and just rest, but given his rank, that’s not possible.

- He will, however, happily be your pillow/mattress if you’re comfortable with it. He likes the comfort, and it makes him feel good if you seem to be doing better with his assistance.

“I’ll save you some rations, you go get some shut-eye. Don’t tell Kelly, I’m already pushing my luck with her.”

Mophead- 🪖

- Poor thing… they entirely understand. They don’t sleep well either, often staying up late trying to rack their mind for memories that just won’t come.

- That being said, they’re not really in a position to change the conditions you’re in, they can’t change their own circumstances either.

- They try to help if they can. If the lack of sleep is from nightmares, they try to wake you if they notice you tossing restlessly.

- Sometimes they’ll ask you to tell them your memories, if you have yours. Until they get their own memories back, they’ll happily hold onto yours for the meantime.

“Your family sounds… interesting. I wish I could tell you about mine… whoever they are…”

Munroe- 🪦

- Munroe is the one to try to tire you out (not like that) and distract you with tasks. He’ll tell you things about Eriche, things that don’t hurt too much to talk about, though don’t be shocked if he gets a little gloomy.

- Or he’ll take you to help him clean the guns. He doesn’t sleep well after Eriche, and prefers to keep busy than get lost in painful memories, so he offers what works for him.

- He’s not super touchy like Warwick or Carrie. He doesn’t mind if you like sitting close or leaning against his back while you both work in comfortable silence, though.

“Here, like this. Not too much oil, or that defeats the purpose.”

Ascetic- 📿

- Another touchy character!

- so pardon the potential shade throwing here, but I keep seeing fics and such where he kinda forces his own beliefs onto the reader (he’s ascetic so he deprives them of things too) and I lowkey hate it because I don’t know where that comes from???

-Anyway, griping aside, I feel like he’d be the best at actually soothing whatever causes the sleeplessness

- Because while he may deprive himself, you do not choose that, and he doesn’t expect you to suffer.

- Massages on your neck and shoulders, so long as you’re comfortable being touched. His hands are quite warm and he’s frankly very good at working out tension and making you more comfortable and relaxed.

- He doesn’t mind watching over you when you sleep, waking you from nightmares, or holding you if that helps

- bro’s hands do not stay still, he’s definitely playing with your hair or anything loose on your clothes (someone get this man a fidget toy)

_____________________________________________

I hope Warwick and Carrie aren’t too similar, I have just seen so much art from @/ritasanderson of Warwick and Carrie that I can’t think of one without thinking of the other and how they go together, so sorry about that! </3

Well hi! Have a star for being the first person to ever request a fic from me for any fandom! ⭐️

So 2 little things… I’ve found that I deeply dislike writing full fics… and can’t stop myself with hcs. So I’m going to do hcs and some “” interactions for the sake of giving you something worth reading.

Anywho, the usual is to be expected below! (Carrie is my favorite, alongside Warwick, so I’m all too happy to oblige! And thanks for the water reminder, believe me I need it)

Carrie x Shy/quiet Reader (ERSATZ)
