((Some of these asks are begging for a story response, so I think I’ma just do that--! 😂 ))

Thor groaned, pulling the pants tighter across his soft stomach. But it’s no use. The jeans were determined not to button and he at last gave up, his pudge winning the battle. Damn it, he could wear these a month ago! But he supposed after stopping the gym membership and enjoying more down time came with a slight price. Not that he minded; he was happier than he remembered being in a long time. But it did mean he needed to go shopping for new clothes again.. 

But Thor didn’t get paid for another two weeks, and this last check had been spent on the bills and maybe a few tasty snacks around the apartment he and his brother shared. He had to make these work at least until then. 

So he tried again, tugging harder and grunting but the ends barely made contact, the button more than an inch from the hole. 

“Fuck~”

“Troubles?” Thor was surprised by the sudden voice at his door and looked to see Loki leaned against the door jam, watching him with clear amusement.

Thor blushed furiously. It wasn’t exactly the first time Loki had seen him without a shirt on, but somehow with him struggling to fit into his pants, the bigger man was suddenly a little self conscious. 

Thor had always been the bigger and stronger of the two, he had always been athletic and fit and carved until he had moved in.. Now he could practically hear the insults that were bound to come from Loki’s mouth. 

What he didn’t expect, however, was the younger come over with a soft hum and to run his hands over the soft curve of his stomach. 

“Oh, big brother. You’re going to make us late wearing this..”

“I- I’m sorry, I don’t think I have anything bigger..” Thor said sheepishly.

“Well, Then I suppose we will just have to make do, won’t we.” Before Thor could ask what he meant, he found himself being gently pushed backwards towards his bed. He fell back on the soft covers, his tummy jiggling and Loki was right over him.

“My my, you’ve really stuffed yourself in these, haven’t you.” His brother purred, slim hands traveling up his thighs to where the pants still lay unbuttoned.

“L-Loki-?”

“Hush, I’m helping.” Loki tutted. “Everyone knows you have to lay down to get tight jeans buttoned.” He spoke so nonchalant that the contrast of his heated expression threw Thor through a dizzy loop and with horror he realized he was stirring right where his brother’s hands were.

“I- I can do this-” He tried to say and take his pants but Loki simply batted his hands away. 

“Nonsense, you’re taking too long as it is. Let me..” He trailed off as tugged the jeans tight, making Thor involuntarily groan as it also tightened around his groin, making his cheeks turn an even deeper shade of red.

“There,” Loki’s voice hummed over the pounding of his heart in his ears, which only worsened when he felt his brother’s fingers tugging the zipper up, then a pat on his tummy.

had a lot of fun making the other one and a lot of love for riliane's frilly-ass outfit so I did it..! some notes under the cut actually

cherubim-nylpho: okay so imagine youre born and chucked into a dark disgusting basement INSTANTLY because, because your mother sees you as cursed by a baby she aborted and a man she had an affair with (a servant, specifically) and she is so distressed that she KILLS herself, you are, a devil, the thing that killed your mom! but of course theres nothing truly there at all... maybe a longing for True Unconditional Mother's Love, because venomania is,, misogynistic in exactly the way a donna tartt protagonist is lol. as for his stepmother well. im sure they didnt speak. but maybe his brother often spoke of her and so he felt a sort of connection there nonetheless. Its beautiful but it isnt real...

cherubim-ilotte: me when king minos and the minotuar.¹

banica-megour: I just ranted for a whole ass post about this... she sees herself as her mother. She sees herself as the demon. She confuses & conflates the demon with her mother. Her goal of anything is because she fears her mother. Her identity is based on traits her mother gave to her. Her intended last words were also the last words of her mother.

banica- ??gonna be real i forgot his name. mezuru?: certainly communicates Something to youe child when you won't or can't lift a finger against your wife for screaming at and forcing food down your child's mouth but cut her down when she takes "unacceptable actions" ie cannibalism. banica conchitaibalism

ril-anne: "out of respect for her mother she has elected to remain a princess" Man. :( anne wasnt even that good a mom tbh when you look at how ril and allen turned out. she watches and learns from the adults around her... her emulation of her mother... do you think maybe in her later years she realized oh maybe the warmongering king and his schemeing queen were not the best people. ah.

ril-arth: me #continuing my father's #imperialistic expansion wars!

margy-mrs. felix: did i ever have a mother? I cant remember.

margy-marx(😭): BAD bad bad BAD BAD BAD terrible going from studying your child like a lab rat to betrothing her at the oldest 15 to someone half a decade older than her for social status?! Dude KILL YOURSELF for real. or your daughter'll kill you, just as well²

kayo- rahab: dont even get me started. Rahab misdirects kokutan, explictly because she wants the world not to end so she can laze around a little longer, but also because she thought kayo could use a child, someone to care for... kayo's mother is dead, her father is dead, her husband & child are dead and shes left with nothing and nobody. She has her mother's Nature, a mermaid who envies and loves... an ugly unkillable monster. and ofc to top it all off she kills with her mother both literally and figuratively lol. kagura cares for her in an abstract way that kinda really confuses me. Kagura is so chill about everything I think maybe nyoze might secretly be descended from her instead of noted malder anan octo

kayo-nagare: well he died in a plague and thats kinda sad I guess.³

gallerian-ma: see this is the one relationship that's super super interesting but literally only on ma's end because to gallerian shes just a lady who looks exactly like and has almost the same name as his mom, who also had sex with him. the cheating & the grooming is not really what im looking for here

gallerian-gandalf:???blank and nothing?? you get the feeling gallerian was parentified as a kid

nemesis-ma: ouughh. nemesis in that cabin hearing hansel and gretel say that at least theyre not All alone. deluding herself into thinking that her mother loved her and visited her... a far-away warm figure to look fondly back at becuase she had no warmth in her life none at all. left with nothing... killing her. being strangled by her. sobbing over her corpse.

nemesis-gallerian: me when my dad who is my boss forces me to shoot my boyfriend and also murdered my ragtag street gang for actions I and only I took

1: it intrigues me so bad that cherubim was allowed the venomania name. with how ilotte behaves otherwise you'd think he'd be given the name of the servant that nylpho had an affair with. a malformed, hated, scapegoat is still your child, still a member of the "venomanias". the labyrinth was built to house the minotaur... he was named for king minos...

2: I think margarita on the surface is the same as she is to Kaspar except less of the prince stuff. but obviously she envied and resented and hated him too. marx at the end of his life: holy shit im the reed warbler raising a cuckoo

3: lest we forget rahab also found him sexy enough to be extremely motivating⁴
