I know summerâs almost over and am late on it but am returning to continue the Summerwatch series and a certain McCowbae is Top off the list. đâ¤ď¸
Also showering this cowbae some much needed love since Iâve havenât painted him in quite a while. đ
Itâs a reference to a scene in a show (I canât think of it atm), where a character saw a paper bag with that written on a note attached to the bag. He looks in the bag, and itâs a dead dove, like the note says. He then says, âI donât know what I expected.â
Someone in fandom took that and decided to start using it as code for âhey if this has a warning on it, you should take it seriously.â For example, noncon in the tags meansâŚthereâs noncon!! It means, itâs not toeing the line. Itâs what the tags say it is.
I hope that makes sense to you!
I want to bold âitâs not toeing the lineâ aspect of Dead Dove: Do Not Eat
While I ABSOLUTELY appreciate authors over tagging anything (and will do so myself with certain topics), if you consume as much fanfic as I do, and arenât put off by ALL less than savory content, then you kinda get desensitized to certain tags because authors tagged the fic for even MENTIONING the thing, or itâs background noise/not descriptive.
Then every now and then, you find the fic that has the tag and the author is not fucking around when they tagged it- I cannot fuss, because they did their job and tagged the thing, but a âdead dove: do not eatâ add on tells me implicitly that the author is not sugarcoating or being overly conscientious in the tagging. Tis exactly what it says on the tin, for better or worse.
° Noticed one day that you looked a little down. When you told him what was wrong he tilted his head in confusion, a faint expression of sadness as he furrowed his brow.
° âInsecure? Sweetheart, youâre gorgeous. I love how short you are and I love every inch of your body. Yer perfect fer me.â
° When youâre put in public, heâs extra touchy. Making sure everyone knows that youâre with him and so you know heâs not ashamed of you.
* HANZO *
° Believes youâre the epitome of perfection.
° When you were looking at yourself sadly in the mirror one day, he came up behind you and asked what was wrong. When you told him about your insecurity, he squinted his eyes, confused.
° âWhat do you mean? You are absolutely beautiful. Has someone said something to upset you, my love?â
° While heâs not usually affectionate, heâll go the extra mile after that day. He just wants you to know that he thinks youâre the most beautiful thing heâs ever seen.
* GENJI *
° He hadnât known what true happiness was until he met you.
° So when he saw the light of his life sad and dejected, he was in high alert mode and kinda freaked out, wondering what was wrong. When you explained, he let out a small sigh.
° âMy beauty, you are perfect in your height, in your weight and every other aspect of yourself. I would not change a thing about you. I adore you as you are.â
° Sits with you every day to talk about whatâs on your mind. He wants to make sure youâre okay and doesnât ever want to see you sad. Whenever you express your insecurities, heâs quick and sincere in telling you that youâre gorgeous
It’s a reference to a scene in a show (I can’t think of it atm), where a character saw a paper bag with that written on a note attached to the bag. He looks in the bag, and it’s a dead dove, like the note says. He then says, “I don’t know what I expected.”
Someone in fandom took that and decided to start using it as code for “hey if this has a warning on it, you should take it seriously.” For example, noncon in the tags means…there’s noncon!! It means, it’s not toeing the line. It’s what the tags say it is.
Hiyaa!! Thank you so much for your request, I really appreciate it. and yes, heâs our favorite boi too â¤â¤ â Syl
– He took you to Nepal for vacation, to visit his master, Zenyatta. But oh boy, you never thought Nepal would be SO cold.
– Practically you need 4 layers of clothings to step away from your heater, exclude your jacket and Genji just⌠Genji, naked with his armour. How envious you are to him nowâŚ..
– Genji laugh whenever you put your clothes. You just want to punch him in the face.
– âItâs really not that badâ, he chuckles
âYea?? Try to be me thenâ, with your shaky shivering voice.
– The next day he wears jacket. Not as thick as yours but still, itâs weird to see him in clothing.
âWhatâs with the jacket? I thought youâre not bothered by the coldâ
âI wear jacket so I can do this!â, he take out both of your gloveless hands and put it inside the pockets of his jacket, along with his own hands which are holding yours, making sure you get extra warmth.
âBetter?â
âMaaayyybeeee a bit. Itâs still cold eventho my hands are now warmâ
âYou are really hard to please, huh?? Let me give you something that can really warm you up thenâ, he leaned down and kiss you, plays with your tongue a bit before he make some distance between you two. His freaking adorable but annoying smirk is visible on his face, looking satisfied.
– You can feel your cheeks getting warmer and you know your face now as red as boiled octopus.
âYou look much better nowâ
âGenji, I asked you to warm me up not to set me on fire!â, only if he doesnt have his armour piece on his stomach, youâd totally have pinched his freaking tummy.

Oh, dear anon, youâre speaking my language here ( ͥ° ÍĘ ÍĄÂ°) I had to do a little research on yonic massage to make sure I understood it correctly, so I hope itâs what you were looking for!! â ( á ăâ )ďźż Thanks for being patient while I worked on this â¤ď¸
Genji tries to teach his female SO a little bit about meditation, but sheâs having some trouble. So, he suggests an alternative approach⌠NSFW below the cut!
