ALL THE NAMES I'VE LOVED

i always figured you were open books, but i didn't mean it literally.

how to play
➜ comment with your character and info. no blank comments, however! instead, your character now sports the name of every person they've ever loved written visibly on their skin. consider canon, meme cr, game cr, headcanons and fanon, whoever you want can make the list! Some people will only sport one name; others, so many that you can barely count them.
➜ will they try to hide their new ink? what if someone on the list sees their name? could a forced confession be the newest obstacle that your character has to face? would they rather die than cop to those feelings?

Blitzø ♠︎️ Helluva Boss

[helluvaboss]

[He usually keeps relatively dressed most days, since he's scarred up (and his work coat is cool as hell)... but going down the inside of his left arm are names baring his feelings more than he'd like.

Fizzarolli
Verosika
Moxxie
Millie
Stolas

This list needs to stop growing, if you ask him.]

are you sick of me yet?

[ornithomancy]

[The most awkward Full Moon ever, y/n?]

adam . hazbin hotel

[firstmanbabe]

[thankfully (for adam), he's dressed head to toe. but if the mask were to be removed or just, slip off, along his neck would read the following:

lilith
eve
lute
lucifer

he will deny they mean anything more than what they are.]

[lamentapple]

[ For some reason, Adam has his mask off — let's be real, Lucifer probably snatched it off to taunt him with — and whoooo boy is this a delightful revelation. ]

Hahahahaha— Oh man, that's just— Hahahahahahahahaha!

[ Unless interrupted, the laughter's just gonna keep going for at least the next five minutes. ]

Tim Drake-Wayne | DCU | m/m

[wingsfordays]

[The words just appeared, wrapping around his throat of all places:

Bruce
Dick
Jason
Steph
Kon]

[whatam_i]

[He lifts a brow and hooks a finger into the collar of his white dress shirt, pulling it away from his throat where the name Kristen Kringle is wrapped around his own throat.]

Looks like we match.

[He has other names on him but they're thankfully hidden by his suit.]

alastor. hazbin hotel.

[sindicates]

[ there just... aren't any. there is a single horrible smudge along the side of his neck, a line of text so marred as to be completely unreadable, with jumpy little visual artifacting like static over the top of it. like even the magic can't decide if whatever it is could be called love or not. ]

[lamentapple]

[ Here's Lucifer — balanced on a handy step stool — peering at that blurry, fucked up line of text. ]

Huh.

missy | doctor who | ota

[mistressery]

[Her face bunches up in a lemon-sour grimace, looking down at the symbols on her open palm. Her distaste is obvious. Frankly, this whole exercise is reductive. Love is such a little word.

Anyway, those symbols? ΘΣ.]

That's not really a name, now is it?

fizzarolli. helluva boss.

[twominutes]

[ usually he's pretty well covered up when he's out, but for some reason, the names are etched directly into his arm in chronological order. he looks a little anxious about this, but it's not clear which part he's fussy about, the names or the location.

Blitzø
Asmodeus ]

SCP-073 / Cain ( scp foundation )

[scp073]

[ well, he doesn't have much skin left for this, considering all four of his limbs are prosthetic now, and even then, he wears clothing that hides everything but his face and part of his throat.

still, what skin is visible is cramped with names (he's been around a long time, okay?), and he's checking them out in a small hand mirror. ]

Hm. I haven't thought about some of these names in a long time.

Felix {Tav} || Baldur's Gate 3

[lucky_strikes]

[Always: There's lots of names considering she's merely 27 but most of them are faded, smudgy,partially visible in her camp clothes (an old shirt she's cut or torn so it has no sleeves and shows a lot of her torso). Fleeting romances that were utterly sincere in the moment but ran their course. However, there are some that may still be visible. Most prominently are fae letters that have appeared along her jawline, the same wine color as the tattoo on her lips that, to the sort who can read them says "The Huntress".
Game specific: "Gale Dekarios", traced in elegant letters down the full length of her spine, as if they had sprung up in the wake of a long, lazy caress of a lover's fingers down her back.
RP CR specific: "Wrythin" on her cheekbone just under her eye, blotting out the smudgy old tattoo of a heart-shaped beauty mark as it goes.}}

alexiel | angel sanctuary

[againstgod]

[ her whole body has become a map with names traced in many languages. each of her incarnations as a human had a love.

doomed.
tragic.
impossible.

although she does not love them like that, her amnesiac soul did once.

among the many names, three stand out with bolder font.

at her forehead, there is the name of the messiah's sister and lover. sara mudou.

across her mouth, her twin brother's name written in enochian. rosiel.

at her chest, just above her heart, it peeks from the folds of her dress, the name of that foolish man who defied fate for her sake. lucifer. ]

Romani Archaman | Fate/ Grand Order | ota

[shouldhaveknown]

[His legs and arms are full of marks, names of all genders and written in all kinds of scripts curling over his limbs in the form of tribal designs and mandalas, white ink against pale skin.

The only ones that deviate are a stylized mandala bloom on the back of each hand. These are black enough that they shine through the white fabric of his gloves, boldly declaring the names of all 72 of King Solomon's demons.

Baal
Agares
Vasago
Raum
Phenex
Sitri
Stolas
Flauros
.... ]

Acheron ✧ HSR ✧ f/f

[untohell]

(A name that would be there is gone; faded away as if there was nothing but she knows who it belonged to. No matter her memory, she knows. This name that she's carried with her throughout what remains of this existence of hers that never could leave her heart even if she may not know the face it belongs to any longer or more.

As for if she'd tell anyone that is a mystery.

Though some other interesting names which actually did come up in other cases are around her exposed shoulders to her neck, what it says is a mystery that is blocked out likely until the intended recipient arrives to remind her.)

Ethan | Teen Wolf

[hatesmath]

[It's a short list, wrapped around his lower arm. Just two names.

Danny
Jackson

That's all.]

Aemond Targaryen | House of the Dragon

[darotisentys]

[No names blemish his skin. Not even that of family.]

takahashi akira | yohaji! | ota

[seeinside]

[ He usually keeps his sleeves rolled up anyway, and doesn't seem one bit bothered by the names rolling down his arm. Mother, Father, Kurai, Makoto, Kuniko, and...well, the last one looks like it should say something, but if you study it for too long it's just kind of a smudge. ]

[empathist]

Aww, it's nice seeing your family there, Takahashi-sensei.

[ taking!! his arm!! to look at that smudge. ] What's this one, though? [ just gonna try to rub it with his thumb, bc that's sure to fix it. ]

Ashiya Douman | Youkai Gakkou No Sensei Hajimemashita! | OTA

[nuraridouman]

[There is only a single name on his skin, and it's sitting on his hand like a club entrance stamp, except that it's been a burned, charred smear.]


....Tch! Those shit-head gods should have thought about the casualities when they burned that guy's existence. That's the seventh bottle of burn ointment I'm wasting on this this year-

[seeinside]

Oh my, perhaps you need something a little stronger?

[ A normal person would probably keep the fact they were eavesdropping better hidden, but, well. It's him. ]

Harry | All of Us Strangers | M/M | here be spoilers!

[familyedge]

[There are no names trailing his skin, not even those of his family. He always felt like a stranger to them. While he had many sexual experiences under his belt, he had never truly been in love. A hook-up here, an affair there. Nothing lasting. Perhaps that was why he felt so lonely.

...

Except would one look close there's a name hiding next to the tattoo on the inside of his forearm. It looks fresh, ethereal. Skin still red and inflamed as if it was done less than a week ago; Adam.]

Apophis | IM: Great Priest Imhtep | ota

[forsakensun]

[There is one name, stamped haphazardly all over his body in all kind of sizes and writing styles, be it Ancient Greek, modern English and even freaking Hieroglyphs, making him look a bit like a graffiti'ed wall:

THOTH

Even the "Θώθ" on him means it.]

Essek Thelyss | Critical Role | OTA

[zauberdecke]

[ only one name written in a book and it swirls in bright firelight with all the intensity of shimmering amber.

Caleb Widogast ]

Mari Illustrious Makinami | Rebuild of Evangelion

[nyaari]

[Mari makes no effort to hide the names upon her biceps (the right bicep at least) when she stretches, wearing her short sleeves as per usual given there's no need to be in her plugsuit.

The names read quite simply on the right:

Ikari Shinji
Asuka Shikinami Langley
Ayanami Rei
Katsuragi Misato

On the left, however, higher up and better hidden by the sleeve fabric....

Ikari Yui
Ikari Gendo
Fuyutsuki Kouzou]

Lawine | Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

[avalanchemage]

[Ah, hm, someone's sure smoothing down her bangs a lot, perhaps to conceal something written on her forehead...there might be a K peeking into view on one side...]

abe haruaki ( yohaji! )

[empathist]

[ it's pretty obvious that all the names on his arms are platonic, since they include family members and students and coworkers.

but.. there are a few faded, fuzzy, blurry names, too. they're written in what was probably nice calligraphy once.. maybe a thousand years ago. ]

Huh, what does this say..? [ he's trying very hard to turn his arm in a way that makes it legible, but he's also failing miserably. ] .. Are these from Seimei?

[nuraridouman]

Hmmm, allow me?

[He isn't actually waiting for Haruaki to give his permission. Instead he simply grabs his arm and twists and turns it to squint at one of the smudges without any care if human arms are even supposed to bend that way. (Sorry, Haruaki.)]

I think this one could be "sairadistargustdingah." Does that help?

yi sang || limbus company || ota

[shattered_wings]

[ there are eight names, each written inside a crow feather across his right forearm. three are smudged beyond comprehension. the others, in order read: ]

Dongbaek
Young-ji
Dongrang
Aseah
Gubo

[ on his left arm, written in tiny colored shards painted onto his skin are the faint initials of twelve individuals that seem to surprise him. ]

Yato | Noragami

[intertwinedfates]

[It'd come as no surprise to anyone who knows him that there's a cascade of "Hiyori Iki" littering every inch of exposed skin, complete with little hearts for the dotted 'i's.

More unusual is that hers is not the only name Yato's sporting: scattered about between them is one reading "Sakura" that he seems to be trying to cover up.]

gregor | limbus company

[blattella]

[Around his throat, Grete in elaborate lettering. Speckled over his human forearm, various symbols. And scratched into the chitin of his insectoid arm, in barely visible writing, Tomah.

(And for meme continuity, branded more brightly on his insect claw above Tomah's name, almost throbbing it's so brilliant, Oersted. Augh fuck embarrassing...But also, he's not gonna complain too much.)]

Date Masamune | Sengoku Basara

[vengaboy]

[ Too bad for anyone hoping for dirt on his love life. The One-Eyed Dragon bears only one tattoo as well: the kanji for OSHUU in bold calligraphy between his shoulders.

. . . (There might be a few names on his inner thighs, but who's going to see those? only everyone) ]

knock knock. it's dragon time

[fellprincess]

"Oshuu"... You must love them very much.

[ To be displaying that name so proudly.

For Veyle's part, there are two names anywhere visible: Alear and Sombron written on her arm. She's strategically covering the latter with her hand. ]
