me as a writer

Hello! I was wondering if you could write how Rocky would be like with a shy, kind-hearted reader, please? Maybe reader is trying to get Rocky to realize their feelings for him through small gestures — like helping clean up his injuries after he goes rumrunning or suggesting they have brunch at Little Daisy Cafe (both to make sure he has eaten that day and plus make it feel like they’re on a date) etc. These gestures are all too subtle for him to notice, so he’s all like “they’re just being nice! 😄” until reader gathers the courage to confess their feelings. Idk, I just want to see how this goof would react to knowing someone is lowkey down-bad for him😅🤣. Sorry for the long request and thanks in advance!

A/n: Hey, hey, hey! Sure will do. I don't mind a "long request" of such kind, if anything, I like how detailed it is :) it helps me understand better what you have in mind.

The reader is gn.

A shy person with rocky?.. that's not a very good mix. He's the guy who is always the centre of attention. If you're with him, you're most likely also gonna be a part of it.

However if you try to calm him down a little or when he notices you're not very comfortable with what's happening, he'll try to tone it down. He doesn't want you stressed out.

He might as well just tell you to "relax" because "everything is going to be fiiiineee" even if it's not😭 Basically he's trying to reassure you about things all the time.

As for the romantic part:

At first he'd be pretty oblivious, thinking you're just extra-friendly towards him and he's happy with that!

This afternoon lackadaisy gang went rum running. You felt a little uneasy and decided to wait in the bar till they come back to make sure everything's fine. A few hours had passed, the afternoon turned into very late evening. You were growing a little bit tired.

"How long are they gonna take?''- you thought to yourself.

Suddenly...

"GUESS WHO'S BACK!!! AND LOOK WHAT WE'VE BROUGHT! TA-DAA!!" Rocky bursts into the bar with his hands in the air. He was holding a few bottles of questionable liquor. Ivy walked in a few seconds later, dragging Freckle along by his sleeve.

You turn your head towards the entrance and gasp loudly.

"Rocky! What happened?!" You stand up quickly and trot over to him. You want to grab him by the coat so you could bring him closer and take a look, but you stop and hesitate.

"Ah, just some minor incident. Nothing to be worried about!" Rocky shrugs his shoulders and smiles awkwardly.

"Minor?! Rocky, it looks bad!" You pout your lips. "Sit down" you order.

Once he listens to you and you get the supplies you need, you start to clean his wounds and patch him up very carefully. You noticed his ears drooped and his gaze lowered at the floor. You sigh.

"Hey, I'm not mad at you... I'm just- worried, okay?"

He nods slowly. He seems a bit nervous. After some coaxing from you, he opens up. He starts speaking about how their journey went and what happened during it. You nod slowly while finishing your work around him.

He's not used to that kind of treatment, but he appreciates it at heart. It feels good to be finally cared for.

When you ask him out for brunch at the little daisy cafe he's happy to oblige, of course you get him pancakes with extra syrup.

Once he makes a quick wit about how this whole thing looks date-like, you lower your gaze sheepishly in silence. He swallows his food slowly and opens his mouth to say something, but backs off. He's not sure what to say. He's quick to laugh his silly thought off and move on with his bragging to something else.

"You were just being nice right? Nobody would care that much about him, right?..". He appreciates it while the moment lasts but again, he's quick to move on.

He doesn't wanna ruin what you have. You mean too much for him. He ruins everything. He cannot lose you too.

As much as he likes you, he might distance himself a tad bit at times. Buuut it happens rarely, just when he's feeling somewhat unwell, when his head is throbbing and he cannot think straight (just like after the "haymaker" episode where he got badly injured and wasn't exactly himself till the next morning.)

You didn't want to lose him either. You were afraid, but you had to make a move.

It is hard for you to get yourself to do it... You practice in front of your mirror, saying your speech over and over again, circling around your room till you finally gain the courage.

Next time you see him, you try your best to confess and not screw it up.

You did it! Finnaly! But... Why is he still acting so oblivious? Why is he trying to turn it into a joke?

"Ah, that's so romantic! You really put your thoughts into it, didn't you? Maybe you are also a poet at heart?" He rests his hands on his hips with a grin.

You frown a slight bit and try to explain it as clearly as you can, that you love him.

He goes silent.

"Rocky?.… Please say something"

"Are you... Serious?" He tilts his head in doubt.

"yes? Why wouldn't I be? Didn't you notice all the signs?..." You ask in confusion. Was he THAT oblivious???

"Oh. Soooo... You weren't just being friendly?" He asks while fidgeting with his hands.

"No. I thought It was pretty obvious-"

"well, shucks!" He pouts "I wouldn't even dare to think-.. Are you sure tho?.."

You sigh and a small smile creeps up at your lips. "Yeah, I'm sure." You say calmly as your hands drift up to wrap them around your torso.

Rocky grins widely and starts to bounce on his feet. He opens his arms widely while making some weird buzzing noise. You smile goofily at the scene in front of you and you open your arms at him too.

In this exact moment, he flungs himself at you, picking you up, spinning you around in his arms.

He's a huge dork, but he's your dork. :)

Can you do hcs for Rocky Rickaby with Atlas May's daughter! reader?

Yeah ofc, I'll try!

I assumed that Atlas's child is also Mitzi's since they were married in the comic, in case it is not what you wanted let me know! I can try changing some stuff up.

Summary: Rocky Rickaby x May's daughter!reader

Warnings: established relationship. Female!reader.

About the parents...

Okay so first of all, Atlas wouldn't be too happy to see you dating Rocky, however Mitzi would let that slip somehow. After all she was the one to grow fond of Rocky and bring him to the speakeasy.

At first your parents especially Atlas would be a bit very skeptical towards you spending some alone time with your new boyfriend, but they would get used to it over time as long as you'd be safe and sound around him.

Despite that, him taking you out to any kind of bootlegging/smuggling mission, or anything akin to that would be a big NO.

Your dad might not be a big fan of your boyfriend, but at least he makes you happy and that's what counts, right? He'll let your partner live... For now.

And now let's switch to Rocky

He'd be over the moon to be in a relationship with you. Like, c'mon... A GIRLFRIEND?! Who is the DAUGHTER of his MOTHER FIGURE?! It's like killing two birds with one stone. Wait maybe let's not use this certain saying-...

He's trying to be as careful as he can around you, which might be kind of hard for him considering the way he is, but he's trying okay? He doesn't want anything bad happening to his precious partner after all.

Rocky definitely soaks up all your affection. Have you seen that short comic on lackadaisy site called "beam" where Mitzi complimented him? It's the same way with you. You compliment him, say a nice word or call him any cute pet names? He's all giddy and fuzzy. Don't overdo it or the consequences might be catastrophic.

(No survivors reference, haha, get it? ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ)

He'd probably get a bit more comfortable around Atlas too. You can sometimes see him trying to crack a bad joke or nudge your dad with his elbow, but the result is very similar to when he does that to Viktor, however it's less violent.

If anybody ever tries to hit on you, Rocky's quick to react.

He slides up to the guy who tried to hit on you and wraps his arm around the guy's shoulders. "Hey there pal! Sorry to tell you, but this girl is taken, however do not worry! I have just someone you can talk to instead!" Then with that huge maniac grin, he slowly reaches to his coat and is about to pull something out, but the other guy is already skedaddling halfway through the room. Rocky pauses his hand mid air with a small piece of paper in it. His shoulders dropped and he put on a sad expression on his face. "Oh what a loss! Im sure he would've got along with Walter!"

"Who's Walter?" You ask with amusement.

Suddenly you heard something in a distance behind you. "Oh, sometimes I play the drums-"

"ANYWAY!"

After Atlas's death, Rocky tried to be there for you and Mitzi, doing his best to help as much as he could even tho his actions didn't always have the intended outcome. Despite everything he loves you dearly.

hey folks,,,,,... glad 2 b here on tubblr . here's a little self-portrait of me,, a human male

Hi, I really love your writing, they are so cute! I was hoping if you could write some romantic headcanons regarding Zib? The scenario is the reader (gender neutral) is in the same boat as Zib, where the reader was also in a on and off relationship, and their ex ended up marrying someone else. How would this relationship play out?

Thank you, I'm glad you do. :)

While you were hanging out at the lackadaisy you took quite the liking in the speakeasy's band. Somehow (you don't even know how) the band became your friend group. One evening, while you were ranting about life, the band picked up a similarity between you and Zib. They started teasing you about how similar ~you two pitiful, poor souls~ are. Your curiosity piqued and you decided to ask him about it.

At first he wasn't very eager to talk about his personal stuff with you, but after you got a bit closer to him and bought him a few loads of drinks, he started to open up to you.

Both of you were surprised to hear you've been through very similar stuff.

You wouldn't talk about it as if it was an idle, basic saturday chat, no... Zib wouldn't be so neutral/nonchalant talking about something he's been trying to run away from all these years. He'd have to be in his dramatic, miserable mood and you'd have to have some privacy.

Okay so first of all, it wouldn't be that easy for both of you to jump right into a relationship. He's been hurt too many times and I know he flirts a lot, but it's a 'no strings attached' situation. If anything, this would look like a situationship... "New person, same old mistakes" ;P

Yet somewhere in the back of his mind he had a foolish hope that since you had once found yourself in a similar situation to him, you would simply, out of pity, not cause him the same pain again, because you knew how awful this feels.

He knows that if he gets into a relationship, the breakup will hurt more than if there was nothing between you. Is the pain worth it? Perhaps with you it will be different...

You have to reassure him it's not just a game to you and that you are sure of what you're doing. Just be patient with him and you'll get there someday.

After you put a label on your relationship he'd be slightly less stressed about you leaving suddenly.

You have quite a few things to work on, but I'm sure if you two talk properly you're gonna find some way to fix your souls.

Zib might not be a lot, but he's there if there's anything you want to talk about. Especially late at night, when your mind feels a little too heavy, he'll calmly listen to you and once you're done talking he'll add a few thoughts of his. Even if most of your conversations start at one specific topic you've talked through so many times, you never really run out of words to say, you never get bored, each conversation somehow finds its way to another topic and another...

You also like to sit in (comfortable) silence and say nothing, basking in each other's warmth and presence, hoping in silence that you've finally found your internal peace.

Just for your own sake don't break each other's hearts, please.

Hii! Idk if ur reqs r opened rn but if it isn’t u can do this l8r 🫶 May i req a rocky rickaby x rich gn (or fem) reader romantic hcs? I need to spoil this sopping drenched cat… also, please take ur time, do whatever u need to do- take breaks if u need em! 💗

Aww, you're so nice, thanks🫶

finally I found some motivation to write so here we go! I wasn't exactly sure how to write it, but I tried.

In case you wanted me to write it differently or if you want me to include some other stuff I didn't think of, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

The reader is gn.

Romantic headcannons, but no mention of established relationship.

At first he didn't think much of the gifts that you gave him. He saw them as rewards for his succeeded runs.

However when you didn't stop gifting him, he started feeling a little confused and awkward about it. He wasn't complaining tho, hah.

He started showing you more and more gratitude.

Subconsciously he was looking forward to seeing you, but it wasn't really because he wanted to get something from you. He was just yearning for this nice sensation of feelings he used to get around you.

One evening when he came back from one of his adventures, you heard him complaining about him damaging his violin. - That was the moment you knew what your next move was.

He was really skeptical about borrowing you his beloved violin but he decided to trust you since so far you've never let him down.

When you gave him back his violin, he was in tears (of joy ofc). He couldn't thank you enough. It was his old violin but it was repaired now and it looked almost brand-new.

He offered to play you something on it as a token of appreciation ;3

You were already used to Rocky reciting some random poets he came up with in the span of the moment, but now it got more frequent and more personalized.

He's very grateful for everything you do for him. He might not always be the best at words but his actions speak volumes you wish those 'actions' were less disastrous tho...

You need to tone down spoiling him or else he might feel like he's using you which is not good cuz your poor boy feels awful with that😔

There is a possibility that once Mitzi catches on how rich you are and that you're close to Rocky, she might try persuading him into asking you to help the speakeasy or she might ask you herself.

If you ever deny helping Mitzi's drowning ship and give them a good reason why, Rocky won't ask you for it again. What you do is enough for him and he doesn't wanna make you feel used.

A/n: might update this later. I was in a crowded area and blasting music on my headphones while writing this. It was hard to focus. I'm tired ( ༎ຶ0༎ຶ)

ALSO! GIVE ME ZIB REQUESTS👹👹👹

Hello y'all! I received my first request yay! @sarney7 asked me for headcannons of how would lackadaisy characters (Freckle, Rocky, Zib, Mordecai, Viktor i also wanted to add Ivy and Serafine to the list for the funsies) react to reader breaking up with them.

Before we begin: this work contains light angst, the reader is gn.

(also the characters go in alphabetical order ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ )

Freckle:

•When you told him you wanted to break up, he didn't know what to say.

•If he tried to speak up but you cut him mid sentence, he's not speaking up again.

•He's torn on what to do. His random zoning out worsened as he thinks a lot about what you said, but it all ends up with him doing nothing.

•You might catch him avoiding places you usually go to.

Poor boy is too socially awkward.

Ivy:

•She'll probably take it as a joke at first, so you better admit she's right and start laughing with her, otherwise you'll face her throwing a tantrum.

•It's best if you try to avoid her from now on.

•Once you leave her, she'll be heartbroken, mourning your relationship for a few days... however shortly after she'd most likely move on.

•Please, move out of the town. Seriously. Do it. Unless you want your limbs mangled by a certain bartender.

Mordecai:

•If you'd suggest breaking up, his first reaction would be: "what?" Followed by a confused stare.

•He'd ask you to tell him the reasons of why you wanted to split up. There are two scenarios of what would happen after telling him:

1. If you were together for a long time and he trusted you, he'd suggest trying to work on the issues you both had and slowly overcome them together (if possible).

2. If your relationship wasn't strong, he'd back out of it and let you leave. Why would he change himself for anyone anyway?

•He might be a bit more irritable and gloomy for a while after you left.

•Later he started pushing away his feelings and telling himself he's better off alone. Basically he's in denial.

Rocky:

•At first he'd stare at you with that goofy grin of his, waiting like an oblivious puppy for you to say something more. You didn't do it tho. Once he realized you were serious, his grin faltered.

•"Oh c'mon! Don't be like that, I'm sure there's still a lot to come for us!". He tried to nudge you with his elbow, but you just rolled your eyes at him. He slumped his shoulders. "Oh but whyyyyyy.... Why do you want to leave me?" He whined. "There's so much we can do together!" - what I mean is that he'd react pretty immediately, trying to keep you at his side, not wanting you to leave, he'd try to persuade you to say.

•After you left, it seemed like he was doing somewhat well, but was he? Many people noticed his actions were more destructive and he himself was acting a little crazier than usual... If that was even possible.

He tried to keep himself occupied most of the time with anything to keep his mind busy, to not let his thoughts wander off to you.

•At night it was harder for him to fall asleep tho. No one really knew what was going on inside his head, but one thing's for sure, a lot.

Serafine:

•"What did you say, Cher?" She purred while inching her knife dangerously close to your skin.

You gulped. "N-nothing!"

"That's what I thought so" she smirked and leaned back.

•Well... There is no real way out of this situation as long as she doesn't get bored of you... or as long as you're sneaky enough to leave the area unnoticed.

•Although if you do escape somehow, she's gonna go mad. I feel sorry for her next victim.

Viktor:

•His initial reaction was a grumble. Then he wanted to know why you wanted to break up. There is a possibility he'd get into a small argument with you when you wanted to leave.

•He wouldn't admit it, but he didn't want you two to part. He's grown found of you over the time and now he felt like a part of him was missing. Nonetheless he was bad at words and he couldn't bring himself to do anything. He'd prefer to be kneecapped again than having to suffer like this. (Kind of)

•After that, Mitzi started complaining about him being more snappy and irritable than usual...

Zib:

•Where did his cigarette go? You could've sworn it was in between his lips a second ago-.. oh, it's on the floor.

•First of all, ouch.

He had to make sure he wasn't in some kind of a dreadful dream before he-.. ah, nevermind.

•He asks if you have already thought out your decision for sure.

•It was painful to watch you leave, but maybe after all you were making the right choice? What had he to offer anyway? He wished you would stay, but at the same time he probably shouldn't stop you, maybe you'd find someone who'd take a better care of you... Just like Mitzi did when she found Atlas.

•He's drunk again. Wait, is that you in the corner of the speakeasy? It's time for him to unleash his charms and hit on you. Perhaps he'd manage to win you back.

•After his futile attempts at courting you, he is practicing sitting around looking 'pensive and troubled' -'more like a grimy doormat - while thinking melodramatically about the past.

A/N: thank you for reading! Ugh, making these character thumbnails thingies took me more than I wanted it to😭 I was struggling to write out some of the characters (I hope it's not too noticeable) but I was trying my best to keep it in character, let me know your thoughts!

Hi! Your writing is very good, also very underrated, 20 likes only?! You deserve more >:(.

How do you think it would be if Nico (feel free to add any more characters) had a child with someone they're not married or do not have/used to have a relationship with? Do you think he would try to present for the kid and raise them?

You're flattering me, please😭 I'm a humble gal and writing isn't my main hobby, so I don't mind. Despite everything I'm actually surprised my work gets over 20 likes!

But thank you, I really appreciate your kind words (⁠~⁠￣⁠³⁠￣⁠)⁠~

As for the request, please keep in mind that this is just my opinion so it might not necessarily be what would happen. :)

Okay so he'd be in denial, not accepting what you just said, he'd laugh in your face and say that you must be wrong... unless you have proof.

He doesn't know you, it was just a fling. I doubt he'd care enough since you weren't in any kind of relationship.

Perhaps if you were pretty and persuasive enough, maybe he'd somehow give in at some point and accept it.

If you were lucky enough to be his type, he might try to build a relationship with you.

But in any other scenario... Not really. Perhaps if your child looked somewhat like him, his heart would soften a little at the thought of the way he himself was raised. In such rare moments, he might come by to see how your child is doing, but it is not binding.

Hey, I'm the same one who send the Mordecai hurt one, firstly I'm sorry I didn't read the rules before the first one, secondly I have no idea what MLM is, sorry if I accidentally requested that?

And thirdly.

I also wanted to throw in a Wick X reader, if that's okay.

Spoilers for the webcomic

Wick thought the reader had something to do with the money Mitzi stole and took a bit offense when the reader said it might've been his old friend Mitzi

What happened there is up to you

But later the reader drank a bit much somewhere, and ended up not recognizing wick and accidentally confessed while the reader thought he was just venting to a stranger

I'm again really sorry if this to specific/vauge, badly phrased, or something against your rules.

I just had this idea sitting in my mind for awhile now, and saw by chance that you had commissions open so I thought why not ask-

Thank you for your time!

Well, at least you've read the rules after all lol. Next time I recommend googling it up. I know I already addressed it in my last Mordecai post, but I'll do it again to be clear cuz I got another request that was against the rules. 'MLM' is 'man loving man' and I don't feel very comfortable doing it, please keep that in mind. I have my reasons. Although if the request isn't affected by the gender I will write it with a gender neutral reader instead (usually it occurs to character x any gender).

All issues aside, this request is pretty cool! Love the idea and I love how detailed it is! Keep it up ;3

I'm not sure if it was supposed to be romantic or platonic so I'll keep it neutral.

The reader is gn, this work mentions drinking/being drunk, very slight angst but then you get comfort.

It was Sunday. Your day was going quite smoothly and you had some free time to spare. You decided to visit Wick since you hadn't seen him for a while and you'd lie if you said you didn't miss him.

You strolled up to his house and knocked on the front door. Wick opened it and smiled lightly.

"Hello Mr. Sable." You bowed with a grin on your face.

"Oh, greetings Mx. L/N. Are we talking business?" He teased, then moved back and held the door open so you can walk in.

You put your leg forward and stepped in.

"So with all the formalities aside, how are you today? We have beautiful weather, don't we?" You turned to look at him.

"I'm doing fine. We are indeed having beautiful weather, however paperwork is keeping me at my desk, so I haven't got an opportunity to go outside to enjoy it.... There have been some strange gaps in my expense list."

"oh really? Why so?" You tilted your head with curiosity.

"Lacy recently showed me some bank statements that I don't remember signing. I looked at my checkbook and noticed that some pages had been torn out without my knowledge." he sighed.

"Oh really? That's weird. Maybe you simply forgot you wrote those checks?" You wondered.

"No, it happened recently and my memory isn't that scrappy... Yet... I think... You, miss May and miss Lacy were the last ones to see them." He raised his arm to scratch the back of his neck awkwardly. "I was thinking perhaps you knew something about it?.."

You stared at him dumbfounded. Did he think you stole his checks?

"I have no clue. I don't even know where you keep your checks. On top of that, I would never take it without your permission. Perhaps it was Mitzi? If I remember correctly Lacy complained about Miss May being nosy with her briefcase." You pursued your lips in a light pout.

Wick's expression shifted. You couldn't quite picture what it was, but you could tell it wasn't anything good. He had a slight scowl on his lips.

"No, I highly doubt it. She wouldn't do that. She's a classy woman and I've known her for a while." He sounded almost offended.

"Are you suggesting that I'm some kind of a 'low class', that I stole your checks?!" You scrunched your nose up. You attitude shifted into a defensive mode.

"that's not exactly what I meant but-"

"But what? You actually think that. I can tell." Your glare sent daggers at him. He just stared at you, not knowing what to say. You huffed then turned around and stormed off.

You couldn't stop thinking about what happened. You were so angry at Wick for acting like Mitzi was a saint and not acknowledging your word. Your madness slowly turned into sadness. It was supposed to be a nice day and it took such a turn... You needed to take an edge off.

It was evening. You found yourself at a speakeasy different than usual. You didn't want to risk meeting Wick and bumping into Mitzi. Seeing these two together would be a disaster.

You ended up drinking your sorrows away. You don't know how many turns you've had nor how much money you've already spent. You just wanted to numb your feelings.

You weren't the only one with such idea. Wick felt somewhat guilty about what he said. He should've chosen his words more wisely. He didn't feel like visiting Lackadaisy. He couldn't bear himself to see the ones he suspected of stealing his properties. He couldn't stop thinking about your words too. Maybe you were right? But at the same time... he was charmed with Mitzi, he couldn't get himself to think so badly of her. It all was giving him a headache.

His surprise was huge when he saw you at the bar counter. He had to blink a few times to let his mind process it. What a coincidence, eh? He sighed. Maybe it was a sign to make things up with you. He made his way to you slowly and chose to sit on a stool right next to you. Wick took off his hat, ordered a glass of whiskey on the rocks and folded his hands on the table.

"Hey..." He spoke up softly with a tinge of remorse in his voice.

You turned in his direction. Your vision was blurry hence you didn't register who sat next to you.

"Oh dear... you look wasted." He exclaimed with surprise.

"yeah? Well guess what! It's all because my... friend accused me of something I'd never do!" You hissed at the stranger sitting next to you.

"I didn't mean for it to go that way... I just-"

"And he didn't believe me when I said it wasn't me!" You went on. "He chose some gold digger over me!"

"Hey, don't say it like that-" Wick tried to differ.

"I thought he trusted me! How stupid was I to think that?!" You whined.

Wick winced and turned his head to the other side. He really did mess up... and it seemed like you were too drunk to even recognize him. The Siamese sighed and decided to take a different approach. He turned to you once again.

"He probably was just confused... Maybe even all pent up and didn't think straight? I'm sure he regrets what he did." He said awkwardly and took a sip of his drink to soothe his nerves.

"You think so?" You looked at him with glossy eyes.

He sighed and nodded as a soft smile appeared on his face.

"yeah, I'm sure." He extended his paw to you but hesitated. He fought himself on what to do but finally he pet your shoulder in reassurance. "Now, if you'll excuse me..." He grabbed his hat, put it on, exchanged a few words with the bartender, gave him a few dollar bills and turned around to leave. "Have a good night, mx." Then he left.

After that, the bartender didn't want to serve you for some reason. Well, at least your bill was already paid. Although it seemed somewhat strange, you didn't remember paying for the last round of drinks you've had, but hey, you weren't going to complain. Good for you!

After you got home you collapsed on your bed and passed out.

Wick decided to talk to you once you were sober and not hungover. He visited you and apologized properly. He wasn't sure what to do with the check situation tho. He'll figure it out. Maybe you'll even help him to make the right approach to talk about it with Mitzi.

A/n: oneshots are making me go insane but I think I did pretty good with this one :) Hope you've had fun! Reblogs and likes are very appreciated ^^
