hiiii not trying to sound annoying or rushy but can we expect sex ed joel soon...😶

Hopefully very soon!! Maybe by next week? 😩

Here’s Joel helping you find your G-spot in the meantime 🙂‍↕️

would you prioritize going to a lower ranked school with more scholarship money over going to t20 but paying a lot more?? love uuuuu

AHHH this is such a tough question!! also love u!!! 💖

OK so how low is “lower ranked” in this scenario? Is it still an accredited, non-predatory law school? (I wrote a little more about predatory schools in another ‘✏️’ ask, and you can also Google which places fall under this category!) Do you plan to practice in-state? How much scholarship $$ is being offered? How much debt do you anticipate taking on at the higher ranked school?

All of these factors can and should influence your decision, particularly if you intend to practice in-state. I’ve literally had a practicing attorney tell me that he’d sooner hire someone from the state’s flagship institution over a Harvard grad, simply because they’re better-connected and sort of have an “in” already. It’s weird. This is not always the case, but if the lower ranked school also happens to have strong “regional pull,” it may be better suited to your interests than even a higher ranked place. At the same time, though, the legal profession is pretty elitist. A T20 school is going to look better on a resume in general, so you really have to weigh these different considerations based on your location, career goals, and financial situation. I wish I could provide a more concrete answer here, but it really is so variable 😭 Best of luck to you in this process!!! 🩵🩵

I'm a year or two younger than you I think, but you seem like truly wise beyond your years! Sorry if this ask is annoying and irrelevant, but I was wondering if you have any tips for getting through particularly depressive or anxious periods (other than reading smut lol)? Idk if you deal with that sorta stuff but my mental health stuff has sadly existed in a low grade way most of my life and has really been detrimental post college, kinda feeling at a dead end.

Thank you! 🩵🩵 And not annoying or irrelevant AT ALL - I’m so sorry that you’re going through this right now.

Apart from seeking help from a professional (I’m in the process of finding a therapist now, so I’d be right there with ya!!), there are lots of different lifestyle changes you can make to improve your mental health, I think!

Sounds corny as fuck (sorry 😭), but I’ve found that starting/ending your day recalling things you’re grateful for actually helps to improve your mood and outlook tremendously. Like, remembering all the good things you DO have, where you’re at, what you’ve accomplished, etc. helps to remind us that we have a lot to be happy about and thankful for! And, in the same vein, when something shitty happens, I try to think of some silver lining, no matter how small it may be. If someone sends a hateful message on here, I remind myself that that kind of behavior is almost always more a reflection of them than me (and for every mean message, there are dozens more kind ones!). I think this holds true for life in general—just focusing on the good and trying to be the good wherever you can tends to make things better.

CORNBALL SHIT ASIDE…going to sleep early, not doomscrolling before bed, having some form of physical activity throughout the week or simply being outside are all relatively easy changes to make but can help a LOT!! Finding new hobbies, particularly ones that put you around other people and stimulate your mind or challenge you in some way, are also great!

Keep in mind, your 20s are ALLLL about figuring this stuff out! I know it seems like other people your age have all of their shit together, but none of us really do. Remember that you’re not alone in whatever struggle you’re facing, you WILL make it through, and you’ll be a much, much stronger person for it. I know that that “dead end” feeling is such a tough thing to grapple with, but please know that you have a long, beautiful life to live, and there is SO MUCH to look forward to! If you ever want to chat, I’m here. Wishing you all the best 🩵🩵🩵

OOOOO YESS I LOVE THAT DIALOGUE

“ that’s not where it goes, right?’ and Joel’s like, ‘it can if you want it to go there, sweetheart’ “

YALL STOP IM GONNA CREAMM MY PANTSSSSS

HEHEHE JOEL TALKING YOU THROUGH IT WHILE YOU’RE CURIOUS AND CONFUSED YEAHHH I GET IT!!

idk what it is, but that dynamic + butt stuff is my catnip LOL

[gutsby]

Is it weird that I want you to write that scene where Joel and reader were making a "movie" in POV format??? (pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease)

Waaaaaaaaaait like my Homemade one shot or those Honeymoon!Joel asks we had recently? I’m down for either!! 😈

[gutsby]

that snippet… your smut is ruining my actually sex life 😭😭😭 it will never be THIS good

HAHAHAHA I feel you (and I’m sorry 😭)!

Like if people could demonstrate even a fraction of the dirty talk we read and write irl……..IF ONLY 😫

[gutsby]

HELLO guts does sex ed!Joel has any 🍑🍑🍑 action or is that a part two situation?? lol

HELLO!! Would you like there to be? 😏

I think full-blown p-in-a might be a tiny bit much for reader to learn in her first lesson, but I could definitely still see some assplay involved!! Maybe Joel thumbs at it while she rides him for the first time, to kinda distract her from the sting of his cock? Maybe he licks it a couple times while he’s going down on her for the first time, saying he’ll “save that meal for later”?? (JOEL MILLER TOSSES A MEAN SALAD IDC WHAT ANYONE SAYS) Maybe he notches just the tip of his dick at that entrance, teasing her hole with his precum and her slick alllll over the head of it, and she’s squirming and sort of confused, like, ‘that’s not where it goes, right?’ and Joel’s like, ‘it can if you want it to go there, sweetheart’

And please feel free to share your own ideas, I would love to hear them!! Even if this doesn’t end up in part one, there’s always room for more stuff later on 😝❤️

[gutsby]

queen love ur writing! are you working on anything right now? (no pressure just curious bc i love hearing about ur writing)

Thank you!! 🥹🩵 Working on Sex Ed!Joel as we speak 🫡 If y’all have any freaky ideas to share while I write him, as always, I’m all ears!!

[gutsby]

would you ever write something like joel sharing reader with tommy 👀

FUUUCK YES I LITERALLY JUST HAD A DREAM ABOUT THIS 😫😩

For some reason I’m picturing Joel and Tommy as long-haul truckers who share a rig; Joel just picked up hitchhiker Reader and not-so-discreetly propositions to give her a ride in exchange for being “his girl” on the road ((freeuse?? anyone??)). Realistically, they probably wouldn’t have much alone time with Tommy always there, so he ends up listening to them fuck all the time. Like, multiple times a day, whenever Joel gets the urge for it, and one night, they’re all sharing a seedy little motel room together out in the middle of nowhere, Joel and Reader are going AT IT, and one of them catches Tommy watching while pretending to be asleep or something, and Joel like…pulls back the comforter so Tommy can see exactly what he’s doing to you, like, “Bet you wish you could have a piece of this, huh?” and kinda teasing him bc his little brother hasn’t gotten laid in forever. Tommy’s pissed at first, but ofc that feeling is also commingled with the lust of seeing you getting your guts rearranged on the bed beside him. Finally, to Tommy’s surprise, Joel offers to let him try you out. Relieve some stress, get his dick wet, whatever. Honestly, I think it’d start with Tommy just getting head while Joel positions himself behind you and fucks you doggy (Eiffel Tower oui oui 🥖). I think eventually he’d let Tommy fuck you, but only on his terms, with him in bed getting pleasure from you, too, or maybe watching and touching and toying with you all throughout it—like, Joel sitting next to you on the bed, stroking your cheek while Tommy fucks your brains out, leaning down to murmur, “That feel good, sweet girl? He hittin’ that special spot inside ya just like you like? You love gettin’ shared between the two of us, huh? Just what you wanted when you climbed up in our rig.” OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!

I sent an ask earlier that was replied to, then deleted. I followed up but know you may not respond. I just wanted to say I'm sorry if that question was annoying!!!! Your response was very funny but I also FULLY understand not wanting to get into that on main!!!!! People here are nasty. If I ever grow the balls to just come off anon and talk about it, I will. Love you and your blog!!

OMG you’re so totally fine!!! That was on me!! As soon as I posted that ask, someone called me a fake bitch in my inbox, so I just decided to protect my peace and delete it LMAO, but I’m sorry if that confused or worried you!!

If you ever feel comfortable coming off anon to chat, I’d be more than happy to talk!! I understand that it’s a super delicate and personal subject, though, so zero pressure! Wishing you the best with whatever decision you make and love youuu 🩵🩵

the joel side of the fandom is not dead at all where did this narrative come from?😭 the tag is thriving, i see multiple new fics posted every day. the ellie side of the fandom is unfortunately dead tho: there’s no new fics for dayssss and that side has fallen victim to purity culture😢

I’m not too familiar with the Ellie side of things, but that fucking sucks, I’m sorry 😞 Crazy to me that some of the most staunchly self-professed “progressives” in fandom are working to set us back by policing and publicly shaming others’ freedom of expression in FICTION.

Time to get even freakier and more perverted, I fear 🫣

[gutsby]

tlou joel is ALIVE and WELL i will NOT be falling for this propaganda.

RIGHT like dead where? he’s laying beside me in bed!

[gutsby]

lowkey whether we like it or not this fandom is dead and season 2's awful writing for joel didn't help revive it at all

from one fandom writer to another, it does help to explore and write for other characters, if you pigeon hole yourself to one it doesn't help with comments and engaging with your readers tbh

I understand what you’re saying, and I truly appreciate this insight! All the same, I don’t think it’s entirely fair to deem a fandom “dead” when so many people still do love and cherish the source material. And though increased engagement is awesome, it’s not everything.

Have many, many folks left in recent months? Absolutely. Has the overall community suffered from the pernicious, embittered bullshit being spewed on a daily basis? YUP. It sucks, and I hate that so many people have been pushed away because of it. But I feel I’d be doing a huge disservice to the ones who stayed—who remain active, compassionate, and kind in the face of some truly shameful behavior—by pushing one of my all-time favorite characters aside in favor of others. I love writing Joel. I like sharing my stories and getting feedback from the folks who read it, but at the end of the day, whether I’m writing to an audience of 100 people, 10, or just myself, I’d like to think that there’s merit in just having produced something I love. I hope that all the drama and the nonsense will run its course and eventually, fans will come back to this space, but either way, I want people to write what they want to write, whatever that may be.

[gutsby]

JOEL IS A FICTIONAL CHARACTER GUYS, ONE WHO HAS BEWITCHED ME BODY AND SOUL AND PUSSY SO BACK OFF, HE'S NOT EVEN DEAD UNTIL MARCH 2ND 2038

WE STILL GOT WELL OVER A DECADE WITH PEEPAW!! 😛😝🤭 time to get even freakier y’all

[gutsby]

I agree the fandom has had a rough year and I actually really admire how you go about navigating this space and keeping shit posi and not engaging in the petty shit too much but oh my god DO NOT TAKE JOEL OFF LIFE SUPPORT I LOVE THAT MAN WITH MY WHOLE HEART AND PUSSY PLS KEEP HIM ALIVE :'(

I FEEL YOU BESTIE, I WANNA KEEP HIM ALIVE TOO!!! 😩🩵🩵

It’s frustrating to see the space turn so negative and weird, but it seems like one of the few ways to combat that is by trying to ignore it when you can and staying positive to the best of your ability. I appreciate y’all being here, and I hope to keep writing for Joel as long as y’all wanna see him!! and thank you for reading ofc ❤️❤️

[gutsby]
