Sorry if you don’t like 18+ thoughts.
I think he has an innocence/corruption kink. Cause in his eyes he is a corrupted, broken man. Unworthy of love or any kind of affection. And just seeing the purity (in his partner or whatever) that was taken from him, makes him want to take it and keep it forever in his scarred claws.
Of course not just in taking one’s virginity or being the first blowjob. But also seeing the happiness of his partner and wanting to keep them happy and just for himself.
U know
oohhhh!!???
Hey what's up it's me with a special interest in weapons and I wanted to share my thoughts about Nikto's machete (no that's not an innuendo for once)
Had a bit of a solo-mandela effect going on because for the longest time I thought it had a modified 'billhook'-like feature on the back of it for whatever reason (but smaller than what would be considered a traditional billhook, more like a hoof pick blade).
I kind of enjoy still HCing that it does have it because a) it looks kind of cool and b) a terrifying thought to think this man whips this giant intimidating blade out, flips it deftly in his hand to the hook side, just to sink it into flesh and yank people back in when they try to run. Also it allows me to think about a scenario where, resident karambit knife enthusiast Sebastian Krueger, can teach proper blade hooking techniques to our beloved plural man. Anyway back to the knife - It's like a cross between a coup coup and a bola? But has a cool flare like a Tapanga for his newer mwiii model. Also like a vintage Senegalese french machete, which were known for their high quality (might technically be the same thing as the coup coup, just with the locale specified I think, both entrenchment machetes). That curve also kind of reminds me of parangs but it's not particularly drop-pointed.
I HC Nikto as a very brutally pragmatic but particular man, so it doesn't feel too far off to think that he went out of his way to acquire something niche like that. Some kind of custom-made machete that fits his needs just right. The length of it, as well as the curved, ergonomic grip makes me think he's gotten it to do some serious chopping, so it's also probably heavy and weighted forward to make that easier when swinging. I don't see him as a flashy fighter personally, and though maybe it was a stylistic choice for the game devs/artists, I think it's a neat feature that speaks to his character. I do think it's made of hefty steel; weight is important in chopping knives, and though steel rusts, it's sturdy compared to a lot of other metals. Not to mention - I feel like oiling and caring for his weapons, machete included, would be a ritual source of peace for his sometimes loud and chaotic mind. Grounding when he can feel the weight and texture where his nerves aren't completely damaged, smell the oil, have tangible proof that it's reality when he sees the maintained blade even after he becomes unmoored.
Now this is just me WAY reading too much into it, but it gives me a little giggle - The hole at the end of the handle is for a wrist lanyard, so you can loop a piece of paracord rope to secure it around your hand. It's an important safety feature just in case the machete goes flying out of your hand while chopping, lest it hit people in your vicinity (accidentally...?). In his 19 model, he doesn't have the paracord rope attached; Nikto says "Fuck your safety" but also huge ego of "I would never accidentally fling my knife!!"
Could also be because it gets caught on stuff if it dangles off his hip though - he's got one on his newer model where he wears the blade on his shoulder, which looks like a place where it's less likely to snag on things. Could also be because he's been increasingly featured in larger factions, so he works with more people and was asked to have one on hand maybe?? I don't know. In either case the knot in the middle of the rope makes it too small for his wrist which could also be read as a passive-aggressive "Here's the fucking safety rope it's on there ALRIGHT" and yet he's also made it nonfunctional for its intended purpose lmao Okay that's all byeeee
sweet and silly dessert thoughts with my fave cod men
nikto who would crawl through hell and back for a chance at hand feeding you your favorite chocolate covered strawberries. one hand holding the strawberry and the other delicately positioned underneath incase some chocolate falls. silently fawning over you as he watches your chubby cheeks bounce when you chew, just like a cute hamster, his little one.
nikto who declines having the strawberries himself, instead electing to steal a sweet kiss from your lips, the taste of sweet chocolate and strawberry now lingering on his lips. he simply can’t get enough.

simon who looks surprised when he snaps back in from his reverie (he was busy staring at your cute face, yes he will deny it) and you’re holding the first bite of your fruit tart in front of his face. a little bit of tart crust, cream and some berries on it. his confusion melts into something more soft, adoring as he allows you to feed him the first bite of your fruit tart.
the bites go back and forth between you and him, until your treat is nearly gone and you’re happily feeding him the last bite. he’s all soft smiles and an even softer gaze as you skip hand in hand with him out the cafe. he casually leans down to press a chaste kiss to your forehead with a quiet but loving, “thanks, birdie.”

kruger who snatches a bite of HALF of your lobster tail pastry when you’re too distracted by a cute dog. snickering whilst chewing when you turn around again, confusedly looking at your pastry before looking at him. and giving him a slap on the chest when he manages to giggle “boyfriend tax, haschen”. the look on your face is worth the scolding you give him after, just like a little angry kitty he says (he’s not helping his case)
after playfully harrumphing at him and ignoring his affections for two blocks he offers to make amends by buying you a pack of macarons, and pinky swearing he’ll ask first this time. (to his credit he actually does) which earns him a nice big kiss on his cheek in return, see schatzi he can be nice!

johnny who buys you that slice of rich chocolate cake you were eyeing in the store. a bite or two of it is enough for you, it’s a little too decadent to have all at once but you don’t want it to go to waste. this is where johnny comes in, man is willing to eat just about anything you don’t want anymore, more than happy to in fact.
his only condition to it is that you have to be hand feeding him every bite of it. preferably whilst comfortably seated in his lap, so your day takes a detour to the local park. seated on the green grass whilst johnny hugs your waist and you hand feed him each bite of the cake until it’s all gone. he couldn’t ask for a better way to spend the day if he’s being honest. (maybe a small kiss to sweeten his day even more, bonnie?)

gary whose eyes light up with excitement at the first bite of japanese strawberry shortcake. hand delicately covering his mouth as he chews, he gives you a cute vigorous nod when you ask him if he likes it. while feeding him another bite you decide to tease him a little.
“y’know what’s in common about you and this cake?”
he cocks his head a bit to the side (much like a cute dog) and shakes his head. you grin at him, “you’re both my favorite!” and the effect is immediate. a cute pink flush spreading across his cheeks and a little flustered giggle escaping him. he’s too adorable to resist, and you press a little kiss to his already pink cheeks.
“how about i make it for your birthday hm? how’s that sound?” he nods excitedly once more, feeding you the last bite of cake whilst nuzzling his head into your neck like a content cat.
"Nikolai had shattered Yegerov's friend's skull with the wrench propped up against the wall nearby. The blood had spattered up his bare torso, matting his chest hair, stained the side of his face. Shirtless, with a buzzcut he hadn't worn since his time in the Russian Air Force, he looked every part the madman he had become."
