@richardxoliverxmayhew liked for a starter

"What are you doing here, Mayhew?" She was supposed to be working alone, and if Genevieve had desired a partner, he was the last person on her list. No, scratch that. He didn't even make the list.

gtafest valentine's day gift 2024

hiya, @hanajoyishere (i can't tag your blog for some reason)! here's your valentine's day gift for @gtafest. glad to see i'm not the only one who enjoys what tommy and lance had going on in vice city lol. that back stab hurt badly oml. i hope you enjoy this short piece i wrote. fair warning, it includes some homophobia since even though i like the idea of tommy having a thing for lance, i also think he would struggle with denial and internalized homophobia in general.

I can’t believe what I’m hearing. One of the first people I met when I came into town, one of the first guys who I considered a true friend, stabbed me in the back. The prick had taken the sharpest knife he could find, brandished it, and shoved it right through my back, spurting blood everywhere.

As I stand there listening to Lance speaking belligerently and even with some cockiness, I can’t help but take note of his appearance. Ever since I’d met him in that alleyway, I did actually think he was a good dresser. Even though I prefer dressing casual, even I can recognize a good suit when I see one. Not that that makes me a queer or anything. But…I also can’t deny that Lance is a good looking guy, and the way he carries himself, although annoying at times, is kind of charming in its own weird way. Too bad that was all bullshit at the end of the day. Earlier he looked playful and laid back, but now he’s just frowning and looking at me like this is his way of getting revenge on me. But why? Sure, I gave him a hard time here and there, but that was only because he needed to get off his lazy and ungrateful ass for crying out loud.

And then it hits me. He probably felt like he was being treated like crap under my shoes, like he was nothing compared to me. That’s not true, but he doesn’t know that. How could he? I’d be pissed too if someone talked to me like that. I’d string them up by their neck and watch them hang. But it’s not like I’m in love with the guy. Far from it. Being with Mercedes is all the proof needed to show that I’m straight. Who cares that I feel more connected to Lance and would charge into a fight with him no matter what. I ain’t no damn fag. Still, this hurts. More memories of us hanging out and talking come back to my mind: him laughing and me laughing along with him, us having each other’s backs when we took down that idiot Diaz, and me literally saving his life. Not to mention, why did he have to make that joke about us locking lips? Is he a fruit or something? 

Goddamn it, Lance…

Remorse for both what I did to him and what I know I have to do now washes over me. A part of me doesn’t want to do it, but another part is demanding that it must be done and that there's no other way, at least when it comes to being able to keep my sense of dignity and pride intact. I load my gun with a heavy heart.

I didn’t see this coming, but I should have, and now I have to deal with the consequences.

hiya Gloam <3 for the writer asks: 18 (Border Country), 19 (Emissary of the Night), 29 (Border Country but tbh literally any of your works I'm absolutely fascinated), and 46? 👀 😘💕✨

jules!! fanfic writer ask meme

If you wrote a sequel to Border Country, what would it involve? Hahahaha it's ALREADY PLANNED OUT. Border Country II: Getting Dressed Edition.

Dream shows up at an unusual time outside of their century meetings. He thought about visiting Hob in his realm, but he wants to do this in the Waking. In the physical world. His body has become a tame thing to Hob's hands, and he doesn't know when he'll get a chance to feel his touch again. So he breaks their tradition twice over: he shows up at the wrong time, and he asks Hob not to undress him, but to dress him. To armour him. And Hob, of course, does. His hands seem to remember armour, and he performs the role of squire with such easy competence that Dream almost feels cheated: wishes he were clumsier, slower. It's over too soon. Hob kneels before him, and presses a kiss to his knuckles. My lord, he says, and Dream, for a terrifying moment, fears he will not be able to leave. Then Hob stands, flushing, and brushes off his knees and makes a joke about most drinking buddies seeing each other more often than once a century, anyways. Dream cannot tell Hob now that he does not know when he'll be back. Perhaps, he says, and leaves.

If you wrote a spin-off of Emissary of the Night, what would it involve? Also planned lol! I want to do a third and final installment that covers The Cat's adventures prowling through men's dreams. It starts, I think, in the Library of Alexandria?

What songs would be (or are) on a playlist for [insert fic]? Explain your choices if you want! NOT PLANNED. A few longer fics have had songs I listen to when editing, but I write in silence, so Border Country has No Songs. That being said... Townes Van Zandt - Lungs Fiona Apple - Every Single Night The National - Slow Show Wolf Larsen - If I Be Wrong Nick Cave - Into My Arms

Do you prefer writing on your phone or on a computer (or something else)? Do you think where you write affects the way you write? Computer only! Could never write full sentences on my phone, can't hold a thought in my head long enough to get it down if I'm not touch-typing haha

[asirensrage]

Hiya! Is there an OC, new or old, you desperately want to talk about? Gush away, be as lengthy as you want! ^_^

Hi! Thanks so much for asking!

Hmm...I have so many that I could talk about hahaha. Let's go with Kate though since I'm trying to finish the next chapter of her story Tammy Thompson Takes on the Upside Down.

I love Kate. She's a bit of a disaster but not as much as a lot of my other OCs tbh. Her story is so much fun, partly because of how she deals with everything and partly because of how much of a slow burn this is going to be hahah.

I've had someone tell me that she was a mary sue because she got along with all of the characters (mainly meaning the adults) and I had to explain that a lot of that comes from her emotional maturity. Kate is a grown woman of 28 stuck in a teenager's body. She's not going to react the way a teen would, which is part of why she stands out in the high school (aside from the personality change Tammy goes through by not being Tammy anymore) and she's going to be able to own up to her mistakes. I think, now that I wrote it, that she's one of my most emotionally mature characters lol.

I have to put the rest under a cut because this got long lol

Kate is determined, scared, proactive and, in this world, progressive. She doesn't take any shit. It gets her into a lot of fights - mainly with other high schoolers like Carol, Billy and Nancy.

Her friendship with Robin is one of my faves. It's in the middle of a rough patch while they both work through some things on their own ends, but once they reconnect, it's going to be so great. The two of them are probably going to cause some trouble tbh. The Mayor already doesn't like Kate, but her and Robin are going to be a force to be reckoned with.

Her relationship with Steve is going to be so slow hahah but it has to be simply for her situation. Steve becomes aware of his feelings before she does. If Steve is is the "tired mom" of the group of kids, Kate is the "I've had it up to here dad". Their relationship is going to be the sweetest and I think both of them are going to be a source of comfort and strength for each other. There's a bit I wrote for a future scene that basically goes like this:

“Doubt Tammy Thompson could have withstood torture like you did. Tammy wouldn’t have risked her life to save some kids.” He looked at me, reached over and touched my hand. “Kate’s clearly better.” (honestly, I can't wait for the two of them to get together but I have so many plans that lead up to it).

Kate and her relationship with the kids is also a fave. She has no time to deal with their attitude (cough*mike*cough), but her perspectives on things really help the girls. Mainly take over the world but also just in living good lives.

Kate and her relationships with the adults in her life are a little more complicated. She's hiding who she actually is from Tammy's parents. She only has a few people she can trust with her identity and what happened and Kate is often thrown by the others. One of her faults is that she has trouble asking for help. It gets worked on and addressed. I try hard to make my characters realistic and I think I did okay with Kate.

When I first started this story I had no idea what it would span into but it's a ton of fun. I've gotten a lot of good feedback on Kate's character and the story itself. It's my second most popular fic which is cool. I didn't expect it hahaha.

[spicymayo1983]

Hiya. This is part one of the finale to my flirting with disaster series. You and Poe are preparing to get married and your son is 6 months old.

The time finally felt right and the two of you decided to get married on his home planet Yavin 4.

Poe hasn't seen his father Kes in years so their reunion is slightly tense, to put it mildly.

You get the feeling that Kes isn't too impressed by you, or is that your own insecurities?

The family reunion opens up fresh wounds and insecurities, mainly regarding Poe's one time romantic interest Zorii Bliss, who he invited to the wedding because they are still on friendly terms.

Their closeness makes you feel slightly uncomfortable, and extremely jealous.

Will you get the happy ending that both of you wanted or will it end in sadness?

Warnings, angst, family dysfunction, language, arguing between you and Poe, my usual smut. No smut in this chapter but I'm still adding the warning. Lol. Not for anyone under 18.

Flirting with disaster chapter 6

Yavin 4. You've heard stories about the planet but have never visited it yourself.

He was excited that you were going to meet his father Kes, and that he would be able to meet his grandson.

Poe also wanted to get married in the shadow of the great temple, amongst the natural beauty of the jungle. After the ceremony you were planning on a romantic honeymoon there for a couple days, just the two of you.

His mother's people were descendants of the original builders.

It all seemed like a wonderful, romantic idea, marrying the love of your life on his home planet, but perhaps it wasn't such a great idea after all?

"Why am I so nervous?"

"You'll be fine, my father can be a little gruff at first but he'll warm up to you".

"I sure hope so".

You arrive at the Dameron family farm early in the evening with not so little anymore baby Maxim strapped to your chest.

His head is covered in a mass of thick, beautiful curls, just like his father. Everyone gushes over the beautiful little "mini Poe". He has big, curious brown eyes and his father's sense of adventure. He loves to roll around and knock things over.

Poe spoils him rotten while you try to be the disciplinarian. You've been thinking about adding to your little family already, both of you are hoping for a little girl.

Poe's father Kes greets the two of you warmly. He's a stern looking older gentleman with short gray hair cut into a military style buzzcut.

The two men resemble each other a little, but you suspect Poe might get his looks from his mother.

"Dad, this is y/n". Poe tells him with a bright smile. "And this is your grandson Maxim Bey Dameron".

Maxim's face lights up as soon as he hears his name, you hand Kes his grandson, who is smiling and cooing.

"He looks just like you when you were this age". Kes tells his son with a slight smile, Poe smiles warmly in response but you can still sense a slight frosty tension between father and son.

All 3 of you sit down to a nice home cooked meal. You tell Kes that you are a rebellion officer. Poe lies to his father and tells him that the two of you have been together for a few years. Naturally he couldn't tell him the truth about your relationship. You were the friend with benefits that got pregnant. That seems to impress him a little, just a tiny bit. But Kes seems like the kind of man that's difficult to impress.

Perhaps it's just your own insecurities but you get the feeling that his father doesn't really like you. Maybe he thinks you're too young? Could he sense that Poe wasn't telling the truth about the time-line of your relationship?

After dinner you and Maxim retreat upstairs to the guest bedroom, which happens to be the one Poe occupied as a child.

You tuck Maxim into the crib in the next room over, the nursery. You're exhausted from traveling and fall asleep fully dressed.

SLAM.

About twenty minutes later you're rudely awakened by the sound of the bedroom door slamming.

You sit up and see Poe standing there, he looks angry, and sad, extremely sad.

He sits down next to you and promptly puts his head on your shoulder. You turn around to face him, Poe buries his face into your chest for comfort, you stroke the top of his head and run your fingers through his hair.

"I can't help you if I don't know what's wrong". You explain with a deep sigh, remaining calm.

"I've never told you this but my father is force sensitive, so am I". Poe explains, his voice shaking a little. "Long story short I lost a battle of wits with him and he knows how our relationship started".

"And?" You quickly retort, your voice bristling a little with anger. "We're both consenting adults. What's the problem?"

"He thinks you trapped me by deliberately getting pregnant". Poe replies quickly, looking away from you and down at the floor. "He's almost certain, actually".

"Look at me". You demand, your voice switching to full blown rage. "Look at me right in the face and tell me that I trapped you".

"I love you y/n". Poe tells you, grabbing you and kissing you passionately. "I can't tell you that because I don't believe it, you gave me something I always wanted, a family".

Without another word exchanged the two of you fall into each other's arms and promptly fall asleep.

The next morning you, Poe and baby Maxim head to a small, local cantina to meet with some of his friends.

A petite, slim figure catches your eye. She's wearing a sleek dark red space suit with dark gold accents and an even sleeker helmet.

As soon as she sees Poe she removes the helmet, revealing a beautiful face with red hair and cat like green eyes.

Poe runs up to her and gives her a rather intimate hug and a peck on the cheek, your face immediately flushes hot with anger.

"Y/n, this is Zorii Bliss". Poe says with a bright smile, unaware of your simmering anger.

"Pleased to meet you". You lie, pasting a phony smile on your face and shaking her hand.

Well this is going to get interesting, you think bitterly.

The end

No matter what I do, I can't make myself try in school. I'm a solid B student, but I know if I applied myself fully,instead of procrastinating until the last minute and handing in first drafts, I could be a ninties student. Ugh. I keep fucking myself over. Advice?

Hiya there!omggg i understand. i really do. this happens to me too :(( thing is procrastination strikes at times just as this & youve got so much potential & can easily score well. but dont worry, with some time, hard work & patience you can tackle it! i haven’t put the basic things you find on websites cuz you prolly know/ read em. i put a few things i use & find helpful. (sry if somethings sound harsh, it’s just that being honest is the best thing you can do to combat procrastination)

some tips: 

do you have a goal in life? a thing you’re working towards? maybe an ambition, or something personal that you want to achieve in life? everyone you sit down to study & feel like you dont want to, remember it. think of it. remember why you stared in the first place. maybe if you dont have a career choice for yourself yet, maybe have some small goal.for egs i want to be happy in life. if that’s your goal, do something that makes you happy. prioritize things that make you happy. 

a lyric by eminem i stand by:‘look if you ever had one shot or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, would you capture it or just let it slip?’

procrastination is the thief of time. i know its cliché lol but look at it this way; you have 2 weeks for an exam, you can either spend 2 weeks spreading out your work load and studying OR you can spend everyday wasting time & cramming in the last 2 days. 

what’s something that you procrastinate doing? like for me its reading books or youtube or just scrolling through tumblr. i cut out reading books during exam time & read only at night. i cut out youtube during exam time as well. tumblr is something i come to once a day fr a few minutes. this all took time & it wasn’t easy.so cut out things that you procrastinate on. one by one. every small action matters. 

try the pomodoro method. give this a read & try it. you can download the app as well!

read this from this awesome site:“ I have friends who almost never let themselves do the really fun things they want to do during the semester.They’ll talk about how much they want to play a certain game or watch a new movie, but when I suggest that they just go play it, they’ll say: “I really can’t; I have way too much homework and I’d feel guilty.”Five minutes later, though, I’ll see them scrolling through their Facebook feed.I call this low-density fun. Scrolling through your news feed or watching a few funny videos on YouTube is easy, and it’s sort of fun to do. However, because it’s so easy and feels so unlike “real” fun, it’s easy to not feel guilty about it – which leads to a lot of procrastination.The solution? Commit to having your high-density fun. If you want to play a video game later, commit to starting it at 8 p.m. Then, make sure all your work is done by then.Let your high-density fun create a deadline that propels you into focused work. “

a quote i LOVE:“effort never betrays you”

try the 2 minute method. study for JUST 2 minutes. and then maybe just 2 more minutes? then maybe just 2 more! trick your brain like this. trick your brain into thinking that studying is actually fun & that you’d want to do it just for 2 more minutes & keep going on. it really works for meeee!

try this study method: 

do the easiest or most fun thing the first

then do the hardest

then the 2nd hardest

then something that HAS to be done

then finish off with something easy & fun!

eat the frog lol pls not reallyif you have something which you HATE doing, do that first. finish that first & then go ahead with the rest.

is there something you really like doing? for egs if you loooove chocolate, you can buy a small stash & keep it away. then you sit down & do some work & then IF and ONLY IF you’re satisfied with yourself, indulge in yourself. if you’re unhappy with the work done, do not take it.

if youve got a lot of things to do, make a timetable for yourself or a to-do list. also allocate an hour of activities/ exercise/ something you can do to get fresh air. it gets the blood flowing & helps a lot!

if its a subject you hate:just using my egs here, i hate physics & I’m bad at it but doing sums & questions make me happy cuz then with some hard work, i get the correct answer! so if you have a subject such as this, try to do something which helps you get an answer which might motivate you!

if you’re an audio learner (you can find you which type of learner you are here) try listening to some videos while you jog/ exercise. Khan academy (an app) lets you download the videos you want and u can listen to em offline. they’re really really good!!

if you know what type of learner you are, study using those methods!

think of the effort you have put in, in the past few years!! youve been in school for so long & if you dont put in the effort for this year, you’re basically wasting the time you spent in the past few years!

think of the effort, time & money your parents put to get you this education. work hard & make em proud ☺️

do you have a park in your area/ a coffee shop/ library? go there, DO NOT GET WIFI!!! delete all the games off your phone  a well if you want to, & study there.

think of all that you can do for this world. youve got so much potential & so much to give. why waste it? if you ever fail in anything, that is okay, you can always try again! just remember, its the effort that counts.

be a sincere student. you’re not only lying to your teachers, you’re lying to your parents & yourself.

if it really gets out of hand, call your mum/ dad/ sibling t sit with you in the same room & study while they’re there, or better, teach them! that way they can call you out when you’re wasting time.

switch off your wifi modem? ask ur family members if its okay lols

give ur phone/ computer/ tablet/ etc to your patents, tell em to lock it in a cupboard & not give it to u. tell them to hide the key as well 😂

study with friends if that helps you! prom each other when you waste time 

try fear? the day before your exam, work up all the things that might happen if you dont do your exam well or if you dont study. that might get your motors running? warning: this is kinda pessimistic. this is not for everyone. also if you have anxiety pls ignore this 

remember, just be you. having fun is no crime but trying to escape your responsibilities is well kinda. try to get eternal happiness NOT momentary happiness.

do not let the toxic mixture of laziness & fear mess everything up 

watch this 😂 

watch this as well! then get back to work k!!

this post by @emmastudies on how to beat procrastination is v v good!!

make a good timetable if you’d like & stick to it. again u can force your fam to help u

discipline is MUST. try to follow a strict routine!“suffer the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.”

do NOT compare yourself to others.

everybody makes mistake, everybody has those days but the goal is to nOT make the same one again. try not to!

look, you can do it. set your mind to it. sit down, get your things out & just begin. i know you can. YOU know you can!!!! the only thing stopping you is you. do not let your dreams be crushed by a the needs of momentary happiness.

sry if this post is kinda long oopsi hope this helped! ace this, hun! you can do it. if you ever want to talk/need help, pls do send me an ask/ message.  i know that its hard to break procrastination but trust me, you will get over it. just keep trying, k?take care & good luck. 💕

Hiya. After confessing to Poe that you are indeed pregnant with his child your relationship has evolved from a one night stand to a budding romance.

Will the first few months of your pregnancy be smooth or will there be rough patches for the two of you to navigate?

How will your friend respond to being lied to?

Warnings, angst, smut, the usual, lol. Not for anyone under 18.

You're in a position you've never imagined you would be in. You're getting to know the father of your child.

You are still suffering from extreme fatigue so frequent naps are a part of your life now. You've been put on paid maternity leave early by General Organa because of it.

Nap dates are a thing with you and Poe. He'll come over, change into comfy clothes (or sometimes he'll do it nude) and snuggle with you while you both sleep for an hour or so.

Sex rarely happens during these cuddle dates. Most of the time it's just gentle, sleepy kisses. You've never been with a man as cuddly, snuggly and affectionate as him.

He's an extremely gentle, considerate and giving lover also. Nothing gives him greater pleasure than getting you off, usually multiple times. If you return the favor great, but it isn't his priority.

If you do have sex it's usually just a little oral play. Poe will wake you up by giving your pussy a few gentle licks with his tongue.

You're showing now too. Just barely but enough to reveal that you are pregnant. You haven't seen your friend in quite some time so you think it's time to finally tell her the truth.

As soon as Yasmela lays her eyes on you she says in a slightly annoyed tone,

"Why didn't you just tell me the truth from the start?"

"To be honest I was embarrassed". You explain with a deep sigh. "I've never done anything like that before in my life".

"Do you know what you're having?" Yasmela asks, smiling a little.

"No, we want it to be a surprise, but Poe thinks I'm having a girl". You explain, giving your belly a gentle pat.

"How are you guys dealing with it? Are you friends now? Dating?" Yasmela continues, not meaning to be nosey she's just genuinely curious.

"We're just spending a lot of time together". You explain, smiling. "I'm not sure if you'd call it anything serious yet but we're trying to get to know each other better before the baby is here".

Yasmela gives you a gentle hug, with a huge smile on her face she tells you,

"Whatever happens I'm sure you're going to be a great mom, Poe's a great guy too".

"I'm more terrified of the birth". You confess with a deep sigh. "I miss flying too, so I hope I won't be grounded for too long afterwards".

"I don't mean to be a downer but how are you going to juggle being a combat pilot and a mother?" Yasmela asks, a look of genuine empathy and concern appearing on her face. "The resistance needs you".

"I'll find a way". You explain, smiling nervously. "Things always work out in the end, right?"

"Yeah maybe in a fairytale". Yasmela warns. "And real life is not a fairytale".

Her words hit you like a ton of bricks. But it's the unfortunate truth.

When Poe shows up to see you later on that evening you explain your concerns to him.

"I'm sure you could just work as a mechanic, you're brilliant". Poe explains, smiling a little and taking your hand.

"I guess". You reply with a deep sigh.

"You don't like that idea, do you?" Poe replies, his smile fading almost instantly.

"Not exactly". You reply, tears streaming down your face. "I love flying, I want us to defeat the first order together".

"Damn it now I feel terrible again". Poe replies, sighing deeply.

"Don't feel bad, I was involved too". You reply, trying to smile. "We weren't thinking, and I just couldn't do it, I couldn't bear myself to take those pills".

"I didn't want you to either". Poe confesses, leaning over and kissing you. "But I can't and I won't be one of those guys that tells a woman what she does with her body".

The two of you share an emotional embrace. You burst into tears and start sobbing uncontrollably, Poe kisses you again and tries in vain to calm you down.

"I love our baby so much". You tell him tearfully as you bury your face into his shoulder. "He, she or they are going to be so adorable".

"You're giving me a very special gift". Poe tells you as he gently kisses your cheek. "I'm speechless that I'm going to be a father, like I told you I didn't think that it would be happening anytime soon for me".

"You really think that?" You ask, a weak smile creeping across your face.

"I've always wanted a family". Poe continues, kissing you again. "You're giving me the one thing I've always dreamed about".

His beautiful words make you cry. Without another word exchanged Poe picks you up and carries you into the bedroom.

"I need you inside of me". You whisper into his ear as he gently places you on the bed.

"What do you want? My tongue or cock?" Poe whispers back, a smile creeping across his face.

"First one and then the other". You reply, giggling a little.

"Which one first?" Poe teases, laughing a little.

"I think you know the order". You reply, your giggles turning into full blown laughter.

Your panties are wet by the time you remove most of your clothing. Poe unsnaps your bra and places his head between your breasts as he gingerly fingers your wet folds.

You feel a surge of electricity course through your body when his head moves between your legs and he slowly inserts his tongue inside of you, lapping at your wetness, eating it all up.

You scream his name as you cum, grinding hard against him and pulling his hair. Your movements only encourage him to lick more, softer, savoring your wetness like a delicious meal.

You mount his hard cock, moaning at how he stretches you out.

"Fuck, that's tight". Poe cusses as you ride him, squeezing his cock hard with your muscles.

You're massaging his cock with your tight pussy, the gripping and pulsing of your own incredible climax are too much for him and once again you feel Poe cum hard inside of you.

Afterwards he once again grabs a towel and apologizes for the mess.

"I'm already pregnant". You quip back, laughing. "I guess I don't really care".

"Hold me". Poe asks, rolling over on his side. "I want to fall asleep with your body next to mine".

You grant him his wish and the two of you fall asleep snuggled up close.

Everything feels so right, for now......

End of part 4
