SEED ME IN THE BEDROOM
A BIRD IN THE BUSH
MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT ► New arrivals are in for a treat! No need to sign up and wait for the chance to participate in the mating games. As soon as Wildcards open their eyes they will find themselves in one of the wedding suites of the Phoenix Casino! Each suite houses up to six guests comfortably. That's what bunkbeds are for!

► Characters still wake up naked save for a robe, as is standard for the Golden Peacock. The term 'robe' is used loosely this round with looks spanning the full range of wedding lingerie. All lingerie come in either white or black to promote the game's wedding aesthetic.

Existing characters are welcome to temporarily take up residence in any empty bunkbeds in these suites. It wouldn't be much fun for Wildcards to only marry each other, would it? The staff also understand that some existing guests ache to wed. No need to ask! It’s all taken care of already.

► Racks of clothing are waiting right outside the wedding suites. Everything available for arrivals to wear are elaborate wedding dresses and sharp tuxedos. Why? All will soon become clear after Mating Season staff urge them to dress and then drag them out to the casino floor.
TO THE CHAPEL ► Down the red carpet waits a gaudy casino wedding chapel and our favorite officiant, Birdvis! Two guests will meet for the first time at the altar to be married by Birdvis with no 'I do' required. It's possible it isn't really the first time they've met but game producers would appreciate keeping mum if that's the case.

► Congratulations, you're married! All new couples are forced to wear matching wedding rings. These wedding rings resonate and randomly magnetize wearers together. Now that you're married you have to stick with your spouse.

Rings cannot be removed until either considerable romantic bonding has occurred or the couple has consummated the marriage. Whichever comes first! As long as the rings are on, couples will continue to be randomly pulled together. Watch out for brides and grooms flying through the casino as they're magnetized to their partner!

► Glitches in the matrimony matrix may occur. When a glitch happens, guests wearing wedding rings may end up attaching to someone other than their spouse. Even if the other person isn't wearing a ring at all! Oops.
THE NEWLYWED GAME ► The Newlywed Game is presented to help guests bond with their new spouse. However, couples may end up shuffled around—it's so difficult to keep track of who's married whom! Some guests who aren't married may also be dragged in to buff up the numbers.

► Poker tables in the casino have been converted into romantic tables studded with roses and candles. Each table comes with a bottle of wine, a pack of cards with questions, two notepads, and two pens.

Players flip a card and individually write their answer on their respective notepads. Then they both take a guess as to what the other has answered. The player closest to their partner's answer is awarded a point. If neither player makes a close guess no points are given. The game ends when one side reaches five points.

► Questions cover a range of invasive topics, though most of them focus on kinks or feelings. Welcome to Self Report: The Game!

All winners of the Newlywed Game will be rewarded with luxurious lingerie. Marriages take work to keep the spark alive! Losers will be entered into the spanking raffle. Everyone drawn from the pool will be subject to bare bottom spankings from dominants and dominatrixes around the resort. Particularly dommy guests may be recruited for spanking duty.
EXTREME DATING CHALLENGE! ► Don't let your spouse stop you from finding the love of your life! Guests are invited to participate the Extreme Dating Challenge, which offers the opportunity to meet potential mates in unique situations. Head over to House Finch and Cloaca & Dagger to meet some sexy singles!

► Staff are eager to help set guests up on some absurd dates. Characters are dressed in ridiculous outfits and given embarrassing tasks to complete during the date. The first person to laugh loses and will be subject to a humiliating but harmless penalty.

► Guests are allowed to select their own silly outfits. However, reluctant guests will be manhandled into costumes by producers. If it's left up to the producers they'll be wearing something embarrassing and sexy, like a maid uniform.

► Only alcohol is provided and there are no food options. Long-standing guests joining in on the fun are oddly sleep deprived because the producers keep kicking them awake so they make bad decisions. Current Game 52 players aren't free from such treatment! Excessive alcohol and no sleep make for good entertainment.
EXTREME DATING CHALLENGE! TOO HOT TO HANDLE ► At some point one of the producers gets the inspired idea to make the challenges sexy. During night hours, the Extreme Dating Challenge goes NSFW. Characters are dressed in revealing costumes and given erotic tasks to complete during the date. A favorite task of a certain producer is to ask competitors to suck on a girthy pickle.

► The NSFW version of the game has the added entertainment of Too Hot To Handle rules. Guests are forbidden from any kissing, sexual contact, or self-gratification during the date. Outfits and tasks are designed to sexually tease and provoke the other person. The first person to initiate any kind of sexual contact loses.

► Once again, guests are welcome to choose their own outfits. Those that must be manhandled will be strapped into harnesses, gimp suits, and pasties.

► Losers will be strapped into a chastity belt and mercilessly teased (erotically). Winners collect a large payout for their success.


CLUCK AROUND, FIND OUT
MY SWAN AND ONLY LOVE
LUST IS BIRDS ► Upon arrival to the Mating Season central hub, blindfolded guests are lead into a starting pod. Each blind date will last 30 minutes, after which staff members will knock on the doors of the pods to rotate guests to meet new matches. Welcome to Lust is Birds, where Penguinessa Larkchey and her husband, Peck Larkchey, ask the big questions. Can you get hot for someone you've never seen? Can attraction spark through voice alone? Is love... real?

► Participants are alone in their pod with a blind date on the other side of a partition. These two guests can talk to each other but cannot see each other through the partition. Guests cannot overhear other guests outside of their paired pods. They only have each other for company once locked inside.

► Pods are furnished with a couch, blankets, flatscreen, and snack bar. Included with the snack bar are bottles of wine and spirits, as well as the classic reality TV silver goblets. Guests are encouraged to drink and eat their fill; everything inside the pods is free regardless of rank. Relax, enjoy, and have fun!

► Don't worry, Mating Season wouldn't leave you up the creek without a paddle. Every pod has two glass jars with slips of paper. These jars are labeled ROMANTIC TOPICS and SEXY TOPICS. While guests are encouraged to talk about anything they want, if they find themselves coming up short, they can use jar topics for ideas.

► Find yourself making a connection? Mating Season would never cut off a fledgling love affair. Every pod is equipped with a large green MATE button. Pressing that button signifies the intention to couple up and nest. If both sides press the button they'll be allowed to meet face-to-face for nesting time.
SLUTTHROAT KITCHEN ► Welcome, chefs, to the Gilded Cage's sprawling kitchen! Here you'll be issued a series of challenges our charming host, certified daddy dom Albert Brownbird. Will you be able to withstand the heat of the sluttiest kitchen in the Golden Peacock?

Unlike a traditional cooking show, all of these challenges are erotic. Since Albert is a kind-hearted daddy dom, his early tasks won't be too specific and remain within the realm of general appeal. Beginning rounds kick off with easy challenges, like giving their waiting partner two back-to-back orgasms. Later rounds include more specific tasks, like anal stimulation or nipple play with added parameters.

After the challenge is issued chefs will have one minute to dash through the massive pantry to grab the sex toys they want. Toys are limited in number. Competitors not fast enough may end up with weird leftovers. Producers encourage kicking and slapfights to snatch toys from each other's baskets. It's good entertainment!

► Once "ingredients" have been secured, chefs return to their station and start getting their waiting partner off. Winners are judged based on how quickly they complete the task and how pleased their partners are. Someone may get their partner off quickly with a spatula, but if that partner isn't thoroughly satisfied with their "meal", daddy Albert is knocking off points.

► Guests that score highly are rewarded with two large payouts, privileges to use the Gilded Cage's kitchen for two months, a clean chef's jacket embroidered with daddy Albert's face, new cooking supplies, and the title of Top Chef. Guests that score poorly are assigned to the cleanup crew and peeling vegetables for the next dinner rush.
THIS IS DANGEROUS?! ► Come test your smarts in a battle of wits at Chickadees! It's time for everyone's favorite trivia gameshow, Dangerous!? Hosted for sixty nine years by Alex Trebawk, a dapper older bird in an impeccable three-piece suit, Dangerous!? has been a staple on the Peacock network for decades.

► Two or three contestants play by selecting clues under certain categories, including everyone's favorite Kinks You'd Like To Play. Players have a limited time to provide a response (for example: A kink you're interested in but have never tried). Failing to provide a truthful answer in a few seconds requires the player to remove one article of clothing. Last player with clothing on is the winner!

Be careful—forgetting to phrase your reply in the form of a question results in a penalty. Traditionally this penalty is chosen by the other player, but Trebawk has been known to offer his own suggestions if need be!

► The winner is rewarded with a Golden Owl trophy, a large payout, and showered with adoration. The loser is conscripted into working as the winner's servant for 24 hours post-game.


FOWL INTENTIONS
BEAKING OUT
BEAK GAMES ► Not to be outdone, local algorithm junky Mr. Beak does what he does best: steals a profitable idea and turns it into his own content. Lust is Birds? That’s old news, baby! What the people want is BEAK GAMES.

► Beak Games brings blindfolded players to large cubes instead of the familiar Lust is Birds pods. Once inside participants are told that they are trapped until they have at least one orgasm, at which point the cubes will unlock. The catch, which Mr. Beak conveniently waits until after the first round to announce? Anyone who orgasms has to remain in the cube for the next round! Both parties orgasmed? Hope you had fun together, because you’re going for another round.

Participants will find an assortment of sex toys available in the cube, along with an old fashioned telephone that can be used to request additional items from the production. Just be warned, Team Beak is just as likely to bring in a sybian instead of the requested sandwich to mix things up! Twists are good content!!

► Guests not subject to the cubes may find themselves locked inside a pitch-black room instead. Players are told that they are trapped until they manage to find the key for the door's padlock. The catch? Players inside the room are chained or handcuffed together. They'll be given the sole hint that that the key is somewhere on one of their bodies. Maybe even in your butthole! Mr. Beak will announce, Check your buttholes!

► The key can be anywhere on one of the participants. Once found, they'll need to make their way to the lock in the dark and get the door open. Good luck navigating that while chained together!

► Don’t worry: within 24 hours Mr. Beak gets sued for reckless endangerment and intellectual property theft, so any players remaining at that point are set free with “please don’t sue us” speed and given a complimentary I Survived Beak Games! jersey.
NEST SWEET ► Nesting Season wraps up a few days later, since Mating Season's legal department is gearing up for a long court battle with local network celebrity Mr. Beak. However, the impact of the mating games lasts for much longer than legal proceedings!

Depending on how characters behaved during nesting season they may be recognized as heroes or villains of their respective games by fans. Villains may be met with boos when walking to Birdbucks for their morning coffee. Heroes may be crowded in the hallways and begged for autographs. Stans and shippers pop up across the board with fanfiction and fanart posted on the both virtual and physical bulletin boards.

► Since all guests signed away the rights to their likeness upon checking in to the resort (tiny tiny tiny print), Mating Season jumps at the opportunity to produce merchandise of participants. With the popularity of Nesting Season it's easier than ever to get a t-shirt with your loved one's face printed across the chest, featuring one of their iconic quotes from the games. The popup shop at Mating Season's central hub becomes a permanent addition so one can pick up some swag anytime!

Divorces may also be processed through Mating Season once the shipping hype dies down. Mating Season does hope that you managed to find someone to be a pair of sweet mandarin ducks with!

[ but he's hungry and the dicks keep slipping and sliding off his chopsticks!

sigh... yuji does his best to eat more quietly. he's sensing a bit of hostility over there!
]

Right... I'm guessing you're neither of those. [ yuji might be a teeny tiny bit of the latter maybe possibly.

he shifts his attention to the table in front of him with two glass jars and yep, they're shaped like dicks too. yuji squints and reaches to grab one of the small folded pieces of paper from the jar labeled "ROMANTIC".
]

"What are you looking for in a perfect mate?" [ spoken in a way that at least makes it somewhat obvious he's reading something off. ]

[there's a spoon sticking out of the bar right over there, dammit! at least slurpzilla across the partition quiets down and bakugo drops his arm over his head, fingers drumming irritably on the couch side.]

Oh course I'm not! This place can keep me for years and I'll never become it's shitty little toy! [defiant to the end! there's no way the peacock is going to break through his seething rage and pride! keeps doing shit to piss him off too.

he saw the jars on his side, their pervert patterned papers plunked inside. ignoring those. taking a page out of a certain lion he knows, it's tempting to go to sleep and snooze a middle finger right in the peacock's face.

... someone has to ask questions. ugh.]


Someone strong. [that... came out quicker than he wanted.]

[ for some reason yuji wasn't actually expecting an answer. maybe because he wasn't technically meaning to ask that question outright, or maybe because the person on the other side of the wall seems extremely adamant about not playing along with anything the resort expects them to do. it seemed more likely for them to tell him to shut up again than actually provide a legitimate answer.

regardless, yuji finds it rather curious.
]

Why? Are you heavy?

[ all tea no shade. why else would someone need to be strong to be a good mate? ]
blastedass: by blastedass @ dreamwidth (💥 The most disgusting shit...)

[personal profile] blastedass 2026-05-18 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[he's surprised he answered too. blinking once, twice, before a look of disgust wrinkles his brows and drags a lip up in a snarl. fuck, why the hell is he even answering some random ass stranger? (maybe because he knows they'll be stuck in this shitty pod until one or both of them give in and play the game.) tch! giving and answer or two isn't going to wreck him; he's said as much in other resort games. grumbling to himself, bakugo hauls himself into a sitting positio-]

Haa?! [he gapes at the partition, a look of incredulous stun warping his features. not because he thinks the guy's taunting him. because the pure sincerity in the answer is galling.] LIKE HELL I AM! WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?!

[ he got louder?? yuji didn't think that was possible.... ]

Sorry, I wasn't trying to insult you, or anything. [ honestly! weight is just a number okay, he doesn't care about those sorts of things- but he's not dense enough to not recognize that someone else might be sensitive to it or take offense, even if only after the fact. he's just a little slow sometimes, is all! ] I just assumed it was maybe because you like getting picked up during... [ ahem. ] Y'know?

[ yuji strokes his chin, trying to consider other options as to why someone might be so fixated on strength for a partner in the bedroom, but nothing else comes to mind. ]
blastedass: by bokunoicons @ tumblr (💥 Unusually serious for him.)

[personal profile] blastedass 2026-05-18 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't apologize for crap like that!

[he doesn't need "sorry" over a simple flub! there's nothing wrong with wanting someone strong. especially if he's supposed to be with this person for the rest of his life. "mate" and all. good thing he can't read yuji's mind, or he'd be flying into a worse rage... the couch wheezes as he drops back onto it, followed by an aluminum and cardboard 'pop' as the can lid tops off. chips. just a bunch of snacky junk food in here. could've at least dropped some fruit or jerky. idiots.]

How pink is your brain... [already jumping to getting fucked?! ugh, someone's either been here a while or is gonna fit right in. he kicks his legs back up on the armrest.] If I'm gonna spend my life with someone, I don't want some weakling who can't pull their own weight.
stronkest: (pic#18457354)

[personal profile] stronkest 2026-05-18 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he pulled the question out of a dick shaped jar, what more do you want from him??? the gutter isn't where his mind usually lives but this place seems pretty keen on drowning it there at every available opportunity. ]

Eh? Aren't all brains pink? [ he doesn't get it...

either way that's not a "no" to getting picked up. noted.
]

I guess that's fair...?
blastedass: by bokunoicons @ tumblr (💥 Piss off ya bloody wanker.)

[personal profile] blastedass 2026-05-18 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[some critical thought at least?! "mate" doesn't suggest a one-time-fuck-and-done, dammit! bakugo's not going to raze him too much for recognizing this shithole for what it is. he had the same experience when he first arrived.]

Not everyone's a raging pervert! [does he dare think this guy means "pink" literally or did he pick up on the figurative way he was using it? who the hell'd they pair him up with?!]

Che! Who doesn't want a strong partner?

What's that have to do with the color of my brain?

[ ^ a moron, probably.

he's reaching for the giant tub of neon orange cheese balls, twisting off the lid before leaning back more comfortably against the cushions. might as well get comfy if they're gonna be here a while.
]

I guess it's just not as important to me? [ he pops a ball into his mouth, careful not to be too noisy about it less he risk further damage to his eardrums. ] If my partner is weaker, then I'll just be strong enough for both of us.

[ which for him, has never proved much of a problem. ]

BRAINS ARE GRAY, DAMMIT!

[what kind of dumbass is he dealing with here?! bakugo glares in stunned stupor at the divider, debating on whether to blast a hole through the wall just to get the hell out of there! before his IQ gets any lower. intelligence black hole over there...]

You're not gonna get any stronger if you rely on someone else!

[protecting some weakling who doesn't try to improve themselves is a waste of his time! he wants to invest his effort into someone who'll make use of it! (so he says; he'll still save anyone he needs to, yelling at them along the way.) listening to the guy across from him talk like that irritates him.]

For real? Then why do they make them pink in cartoons?

[ yes he's basing his knowledge of human anatomy off what he's seen in cartoons. what could possibly go wrong? ]

Everyone needs a little help sometimes. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

[ not that being strong doesn't have it's advantages, but if even his sensei, the strongest sorcerer of the modern age is capable of getting backed into a corner- or in gojo's case, locked inside a cube- then the same can undoubtedly be said for anyone. ]

Are you saying there's never been a time where you've had to rely on another person for something?

How the hell should I know? So a buncha brats don't shit themselves?

[pink being a "cuter" color or some bullshit like that. did this guy get his anatomy lessons off saturday morning tv? a hollow scrape precedes another pair of chips sliding out of the tube.]

Hmph. Depends on how often "sometimes" is.

[he's seen more than enough people abuse the kindness of others and refuse to help themselves when they could be doing their own share of the heavy lifting! bakugo's a hero; he's going to help people. whether it's his partner with the pickle jar (after ribbing them) or some dumbass in a burning building.]

Of course not! I handle my trials on my own!

[yeah, life saw to it his arrogance took a reality check.]

Doesn't that get lonely? Never leaning on anyone.

[ yuji is strong, but he can't imagine surviving half of the trials he's endured since becoming a jujutsu sorcerer without his friends and mentors being there to support him. whether that's during the battles, or afterwords, when the guilt of his regrets eat away at him. he's been suffering through a lot more of the latter back home, recently. having distanced himself from the friends he didn't already lose for their protection. and by proxy, giving up his only remaining support system.

it's been hard. harder than he'd like to admit.

turns out being alone really does get lonely. but even yuji wasn't completely alone. he still had choso, his "long lost brother" for all intents and purposes. as odd as their relationship may have been, he really was the only thing keeping yuji from completely spiraling when his mental health was at it's lowest. and that's something he'll always be grateful for, no matter how strong he gets.

No? Relying on yourself doesn't mean you're living alone.

[bakugo used to think no one else mattered but him. everyone was nothing more than a stepping stone to his greatness, useful in strengthening himself and crushing them down beneath him to reach another plateau. didn't matter if they were student, teacher, or another hero. but a year does a lot to a person. even if he's frightfully proud and relies on himself to get through, he knows no one's a one-man army in the end. but that doesn't stop him from striving to be said army.

his troubles, pains, suffering, emotions, struggles, he hates admitting any of those to others, or letting people see him when he's weak. who the hell's going to trust a hero to win if they don't see him as strong?]


Some people get too comfortable working together, they forget about their own strength. I'm going to win, no matter whether I'm with someone else or by myself. That's the kind of hero I want to be!
stronkest: (pic#18452424)

[personal profile] stronkest 2026-05-20 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Hero?

[ he doesn't repeat it in a mocking way, more out of surprise and genuine curiosity than anything else. he hasn't heard anyone say anything akin to "i wanna be a hero when i grow up" since he was in primary school. the guy on the other side of the wall sounds too mature for that, closer to his own age if not a little older.

"You are a strong kid, so help people."

that's what heros do, right? yuji wouldn't consider himself a hero, especially after what happened in shibuya. the number of lives lost far outweighs the number of lives he's managed to save... and to make matters worse, he'd been too weak to protect the people who mattered most to him. maybe if he'd been stronger, things could have turned out differently.
]

Sometimes... one person just isn't strong enough. [ he probably would have died too, if his friend todo hadn't showed up when he did. ] It's nice to have help from people you can trust. To pick you back up if you fall. "Someone strong"... I can understand the value in that.

[ it took a bit of self reflection to get here, but that answer makes a little more sense to him now. ]
blastedass: by blastedass @ dreamwidth (💥 No.)

[personal profile] blastedass 2026-05-20 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[tch. another one? every time he brings up heroes and villains to other people, they always respond with some kind of intense opinion, whether it's mockery, dismissal, or confusing. very rarely does anyone ever acknowledge and agree with him. he gets it, even if it pisses him off. yuji's response isn't unexpected, though his quiet tone and musing silence is... different.

he's probably going to have to explain it. like normal. bakugo's used to it by now. people don't get what a "hero" is in his world because so many have their own ideas of what a "hero" is in their own. a title, a joke, a pipe dream, even the one guy who does have heroes in his world is more akin to (at the moment) secret agents. he's reluctantly curious to yuji's reaction.]


Hmph. If I can't do something, then the person with me has to take over. [growled under his breath, but acknowledged. he knows well enough his own weakness and lacking, even as he tackles both to eliminate them!] I want someone strong by me. The less I have to worry about my partner, the more I can focus on people who need us.

[us. he values strength, a lot, but what good is he going to be if his attention's split between his mate and his mission? he wants someone who he knows will stand beside him at the start of their trial and emerge at his side by the end.]
