I’m literally drooling over the thought of sensitive Bucky whimpering and whining while fucking your tits and thighs he’s so pathetic and needy all he wants is to make you feel good and to fill you with his cum even if it overstimulates him

Okay, tit fucking is great and all but thigh fucking is SO underrated in my humble opinion. Could just be the fact I've got a small chest though lmao

It's so fun when you're already really into it and the insides of your thighs are all slick. I feel like Bucky would lose it, getting to see your face and look in your eyes and enjoy your body.

It's a nice one to do while laid on your side, facing each other. Although the angle isn't quite right for him to slip inside you, it's fun to explore the other ways your bodies can steal pleasure from one another.

"This isn't going to work, sweetheart." You can't help but laugh, having already tried everything you can think of to make the height difference work. There's no way to keep this romantic and intimate in that position because there's just no chance of aligning your bodies properly to allow him to press inside you.

"Maybe not. But it feels nice anyway." His eyes flutter shut, gliding his dick over the smooth, soft, warm insides of your thighs, encouraged by how slick and easy your arousal makes the movement.

You adjust yourself to bring your other thigh on top of his length, closing him in on both sides.

You're wet enough that friction doesn't impede his movement too much and there's something oddly romantic about it. Maybe it's his hand smoothing the back of your head or his other hand up your back, pulling your body closer to his.

It's so intimate, watching his face as he whines your name, rutting senselessly against your thighs. The little flush to his cheeks is beautiful and you can't resist kissing the thin sheen of sweat on his forehead. The thick duvet on top of you both, coupled with your combined body heat means the room is far hotter than you'd planned.

You take a second to reach between your bodies, spreading your wet folds and readjusting his length, letting him drag his cock against your neglected clit with each stroke and oh, that's pretty mind-blowing.

"O-oh my God." He whines, desperately fucking himself against your wet cunt, rather than into it. It's a different kind of pleasure to being inside you and while they're not comparable sensations, it doesn't stop this from feeling fantastic.

"Fuck, that's good." You groan, rolling your hips to meet his. Your fingers dip between you once more, gathering some of your slick arousal, using it to glide your fingertips over the underside of his shaft and over his balls.

"Holy shit, that's - fuck." Bucky's hardly got a coherent thought left in his head. He's closed in on both sides by your wet, soft thighs and now your fingers are giving him a different sensation underneath while pressing him against your soaked sex.

"I know, baby. Feels good, doesn't it?" Your fingertips trail lightly back and forth over the underside of his shaft, focusing on the inch or so beneath the tip.

"I can't... I need to cum." He groans, thrusting frantically, clinging to your body to keep you close. Within a few seconds, you feel his dick pulse under your fingertips, his cum coating the inside of your thighs in hot, thick, messy spurts.

He doesn't waste a second, kissing your forehead before kissing your neck and whispering "Good girl. Now let me watch you get yourself off with my cum on your fingertips."

I wonder if Jedediah and octavius ever celebrated the 4th of July together? (also your leftover veggie dish looks like it would make Gordon Ramsay cry with joy :) )

They probably, most definitely did celebrate together I think

Featuring my failed attempt at drawing fireworks 🎆

If Gordon Ramsey were to see that dish he'd cry in general I think, given the fact that I forgot to put enough salt :')

I feel you, its so bad 😭, I had to go on a functioning adult human schedule for school and good god, out the house by 7am... bad bitches are not built for that..

WE REALLY ARE... and man, I can brute force myself into any schedule if there are things that HAVE to be done at certain times (like school, like you said) but it absolutely never feels "right". it feels like waking up at 3am to go to the airport type of shit. and it is truly so annoying... to get hit with the "that's a Normal schedule, you need to Fix your schedule" okay. alright. but let me hit you with this one. is it "normal" or is it just conducive to a 8 - 5. because no matter what my sleep schedule is like, or how locked in I am, I'm more clear headed at night + more productive and energetic. and no matter what, I'm tired during the day, especially the brightest times of day when the sun is allegedly supposed to be signaling my brain to be awake and alert. and it doesn't matter how much sleep I got.

[redstringraven]

do you make playlists of what each of your OCs would listen to? do they have a specific artist/band, or genre they enjoy? any they hate? what kind of music did they grow up on that gives them nostalgia?

for the first question: i haven't! and i think the main reason is because--knowing me--i'd have to take the time to sit down and listen to music with an extremely active/attentive filter. it'd take me a lot of time, especially since needing to be attentive would likely mean i can't be doing this while drawing (and certainly not while researching/writing). i--personally--wouldn't consider this a high-priority step in how i tell and share their stories, and i tend to find that music that makes me think of them is a bigger inspiration for me than music they themselves would listen to. if that makes sense?

but! if anything, i'll try to keep more of a radar up for the next time a song slides through my shuffle and i catch myself thinking "haha, cassia would totally listen to this", to maybe start some playlists that way and just... slowly grow them. 6-6!! tis a cool little thing to have going on the side.

CASSIA i can see cassia loving a range of artists from the 70s and 80s alongside more modern pop. i don't think lady gaga's first album dropped until 2008? and the present day in my writing's timeline is probably more 2006 or 2007, so... not QUITE there, but getting there. a lot of her love of 70s/80s music does probably have a connection to growing up, given that it's music her parents would have listened to! shared and traded albums are a way she and her dad could stay connected, too, when he's on longer trips. listening to music her dad likes or grew up around kinda gives her a sense he's in the apartment with her somehow.

artists she likely gravitates toward... lady gaga--like i said--kesha, earth wind & fire... michael jackson... "don't stop believin'", "blue monday" ... and, worse of all? unironically/even BEFORE IT WAS A MEME, i bet she liked "never gonna give you up" by the king himself: rick astley.

one of her hobbies, actually, is finding new and inventive ways to rick roll raph and leo. leo doesn't always get it (this 'joke' doesn't make any sense), and if you hear raph yell "god. DAMNIT." from somewhere in the lair, there's a 50/50 chance he's been rick rolled and won't be speaking to cassia again for twenty-four hours. (he's not actually mad, this is part of the bit; you know this).

god, what have i done.

i don't think cassia has any music she hates, necessarily, i think it's more that she finds certain types of music... not stimulating in the way she wants them to be? like. say don's listening to classical music while he's working, and she walks in. SOME classical music, she can find a way to dance to in the background with escalating silliness that's both enjoyable for her and might also get a chuckle or two out of don (also! enjoyable for her). buuuut there's also some classical music where the mood of it doesn't work for that sort of thing. maybe it's too slow or too sad... --don, are you good? we don't have to talk, i could just bring you an ice cream or something.

NYXRAM to answer your last question first: nyxram didn't grow up with any music. i'd say, over all, she grew up with limited exposure to any form of art--with a handful of exceptions, most of them being unavoidable in one way or another. i can't think of any reason music would be one of those exceptions. and because of THAT, i don't think she really differentiates music from noise. it's just... more noise.

this is likely a point of minor and petty conflict when it comes to her squad post-rebellion. i can see ranzar and zuron enjoying some music while they run maintenance on one of akeron's shuttles, nyxram walks in to touch base with them, and... even though she doesn't address the music, she's visibly put off by it. not ANNOYED but more like... this air of "why are you two willingly filling the room with racket while you work on something as complex as a shuttle?". so perplexed that she can't quite keep her usual poker face.

i HAVE said before that i can see her enjoying 3rd earth's harp, should she ever get exposure to it. and it'd be kind of, like. weird. to, i guess, "witness" her listening to it, because i don't think she'd listen to it while doing something else. she'd just be sitting or standing there. listening to the music. doing nothing else.

and this wouldn't be because she can't focus on something else because there's noise/sound happening--she's trained to work regardless of external (and internal) stimuli--it'd be because... this is music, right? you're supposed to listen to it. so that's what i'm doing. i'm listening to it.

GWYN on the opposite end of the spectrum from nyxram, music and song is a huge part of liáfsian life and culture. though gwyn was forbidden from engaging with the community and being taught in more community-driven settings, this didn't stop ash from finding ways to include her and, to their credit, in their earlier years gwyn's parents did kind of teach her a few basics (less to their credit, this was probably more because ash begged them to or refused to learn unless gwyn could as well and not out of a desire to just... teach gwyn). as they got older and the people around them tried to separate them more often, gwyn found other ways to appreciate music and song. it existed outside of the community, in the woods with the animals and even some of the plant-life (there's a pothos-like plant said to 'sing' to you should you curl up in its leaves, known for being a healing/recovery space for wounded animals).

in present day, she hasn't quite taken the time to pinpoint any 3rd earth artists or bands that she likes. part of this is because she's still very much in the mentality of... "my interests shift based on what's most beneficial for me to be interested in", and she's content to listen to and enjoy whatever music one of the turtles is playing while they go about their day.

for gwyn's first secret santa gift exchange, min-ji gave her a cd with whale songs on it. gwyn and ash both said that the whale songs remind them of the "song wolves" of liáfsini*: long, echoing, something that fills your ribs and blooms.

when it comes to how i might build her playlist, i can see putting music from the oh hellos on there, but... i think as gwyn's arc ends, and she begins the journey of rediscovering her own identity, she'd be more prone to enjoying stuff like ambient music and soundscapes. music that feels like it weaves and blends seamlessly with the natural sounds happening around it. ...i can see cassia showing leo some of those "ambient relaxing music/meditative soundscape" youtube videos for his own meditation, which then leads to gwyn maybe walking past his door, hearing it, and just sort of... sitting on the ground listening to it. he'd catch on that she enjoys it and pass the info on to her. or, maybe she just takes to a corner of the room and draws in her journal while he meditates. i dunno. nice little common ground the two of them end up sharing.

*the "song wolves" used to be called sithòran, but i'm renaming the handful of fauna i'd kind of given placeholder names to.

ASH similar start to the answer as gwyn: music and song is a huge part of liáfsian life and culture. but since ash had the advantage of lessons and guidance, she tends to be much more confident in her musical ability, knowledge, and is also just... sincerely drawn to it. while she does enjoy a handful of liáfsian instruments, her favorite is the voice. which... kind of worked out for her, given she can still use it in her current state. it's not uncommon for ash to sing old lullabies or folk songs to gwyn in those rare pockets of solitude and peace, both as a way to lift her own spirits but also provide gwyn with some sort of familiarity, comfort, and reassurance that she's not alone.

after their story arc concludes, ash's taste in 3rd earth music will likely be... all over the place. i can't really see her being restricted by genre. she'd probably adore opera, love singing along to whatever modern pop song mikey and cassia are blasting in the living room with wooden spoons for microphones, sing duets with min-ji at the piano, idle around master splinter or leo's spaces to listen to traditional japanese music, and... weird as it might be, if either of the twins is gonna be found head-banging to metal and hardcore music with raph, it's gonna be ash. when it comes to music appreciation, girl's got: hella range.

this range doesn't come without criticism, though--liáfsians often tell stories, myths, etc through the medium of song. so, if a song has lyrics and after the moment of enjoying it has passed, you might find yourself listening to ash talk about the song from a more technical standpoint or wondering why the artist made certain decisions where they did. i don't think there'd be a specific type of music she'd hate. it'd more just be a case of "this song isn't really doing it for me" and moving on.

“I think Lestat would be a terrible Dom, and Louis would loathe subbing” oh this makes me kind of sad because I do think there’re elements of Dom Lestat/Sub Louis in their relationship. Their very first sex scene is Lestat overpowering Louis and forcing him to submit, forcing Louis to put his trust in him — and Louis calls it the best sex of his life! Even in their other sex scene on the bed is Lestat is leading, taking care of him and checking in — I can totally see him in a Soft Dom role sometimes 🥲

(x)

I don't read that first sex scene as Lestat overpowering Louis and forcing him to submit at all, anon. I read that as a sensual push-pull that ends with Louis choosing to give into his own desires. Surrender isn't synonymous with submission, and Lestat providing an environment where Louis' able to drop the pretext and give himself over to what he wants isn't Domming.

I think there is an enormous conflation in this fandom with BDSM dynamics and regular sexual dynamics, and I can appreciate that a part of that comes from the fact that the show has legitimately and explicitly introduced D/s dynamics into a relationship, but I think it's pretty important to acknowledge that you can take care of someone sexually / be taken care of sexually and not have that have anything to do with kink, which is literally what D/s is.

I actually don't think BDSM even played all that much of a role in Louis and Lestat's relationship historically. I think it might in the future, but the reality is Louis and Lestat's relationship - and their needs in a relationship together - are enormously different to what Louis had with Armand, and I don't know. I don't read any of the s1 sex scenes as D/s at all, and Lestat checking in with Louis during sex when he is topping is what any partner should be doing (especially if one's clearly out of it enough to be mentally talking to his daughter in another room).

As always though, that's just my reading, and there's tons of soft!Dom Lestat fics! Enjoy them, haha.

I noticed you're a Ryomina!!! How did you get into it? And do you have any good fanfics/doujinshi you can advice me to read? ANYTHING on Ryomina actually? I'm dying for anything about them!!! Thanks!!

yes!!! it's me!!! i'm ryomina fan (one of many)!!! thank you for visiting my askbox, i'll do my best to answer all of the questions because it always makes me happy to see that ryomina sparks joy for people! :D

...this got really long because i like linking to things, so i'm putting it under a read more (IM VERY NORMAL ABOUT THEM)

how did i get into it? i got into persona 3 around august 2021 through the movies- at the time my only experience with the persona series was with P5R / P5S / P5D. p3 was the one that interested me the most (i thought minato was very pretty + i caught wind that the themes of the game were very resonant with people). i picked the movies over the game because i'm a guy who plays games at a snails pace, haha.

admittedly, i did latch onto ryomina because of the scenes in the third and fourth movie (i have mentioned in the tags of this art i drew how much i felt like i was exploding and blasting off to the moon watching it).

but what really dug me into the ryomina hole (and what has kept me there) was thinking about how much ryoji encapsulates the themes of p3- and how interconnected his fate is with minato. i wrote some musings about their dynamic here, if you're interested!

tl;dr: what if we were both boys and we were mirror images of each other and i inherited your kindness and looks but god doomed our narrative even though we're soulmates

on ryomina fanworks recommendations:

regarding fics: i'm going to assume that you've probably read the fics that have the highest kudo ratings on them, so i won't really be listing those.

a personal favorite fic that i always hold close to my heart is Eurydice's Vow by crescentmoontea, which explores the idea of ryomina in p5r's third semester. this was the first fic i read about ryomina and it made me tear up lots...

i also think a lot about I Alone Await You by Nail_gun, literally scrumptious writing that captures the ryomina dynamic so so well. actually check out Nail_gun's other ryomina fics while you're at it too!

other fun fic i'm fond of: can't get my mind out of those memories (what were they?) by foxmulder_whereartthou. ryoji being homeless lives rent free in my head and it's all because of this fic. there's a bunch of other fun ryominas from the same author too (i still need to read them)

BkZa555 also has some fun AU scenarios if you're into that too, notably with Zagreus (P5-Setting, Ryoji focus) and The Definition of Insanity (TIME LOOP fuckery!), but they're currently ongoing.

these were some ones that came to my mind first- as i have the strongest recollection reading them. admittedly i haven't really been reading fic this year, so i don't have many recommendations from fic that came out this year. but if you're so inclined to let ryomina consume your soul, i definitely recommend giving the newer works in the ryomina tag a look-see and see if it strikes your fancy!

as a side note, i do have a few ryomina fics that i've bookmarked on my ao3 here, though i have to say that i'm not sure how well they hold up in terms of like... what i would seek out of a fic these days. but they made past me happy so i bookmarked them, LOL. it's kind of outdated (my collection of fic recs has my old username *disintegrates*).

regarding doujinshi: i have not read all the ryomina doujinshi available, but as a starting point, please take a look at this list from pandora-scans from livejournal!

notably, this is where you can find the strawberry-chan say good bye doujin- which features a small and cute comic from shuji sogabe (the p3/p4 manga artist), as well as other artists. the existence of this doujinshi is the funniest thing to me because it's like "HEY if you're wondering what the volume 8 cover is really gay it's because sogabe contributed to a ryomina doujin." this fact makes my head spin (positive). it explains a lot about the manga.

regarding persona side material:

i know you didn't ask for these but i thought that i mine as well list these too, since i feel that the side materials have some fun expansions on ryoji and minato's interactions. i haven't... watched/read all of these but, hey, i like to share these things!

for comic anthologies for the persona series (some of which have ryoji!). if you're interested in reading them, here's a scanlation index from maboroshi-no on tumblr. i don't think this is a comprehensive list, but i think it will be a great starting point!

for some translations of the persona 3 drama cds, check out imaginary-numbers on dreamwidth! ryoji and minato interactions can specifically be found in the persona 3 character drama cd vol. 1, and for the audio + english subs, you can watch this video on youtube:

and ohh the musical. ryoji singing and dancing gives me so much joy. i haven't watched the musical in it's entirety (only fragments), but here are some links that may be of interest to you:

Ao no Kakusei (The Blue Awakening), Sakuya version - playlist for the first p3 musical, translated by Phoenix Maiika.

Ao no Kakusei (The Blue Awakening), Kotone version - playlist for the femc version!! also translated by Phoenix Maiika on YouTube.

Persona 3: The Weird Masquerade (English Subtitles) - playlist by rumio!

P3 Weird Musical DVD & Soundtrack Booklet Scans by rumio_k - twitter thread that links to these funsies, if you don't have twitter, here's the publicly shared drive link.

god. these sure are a lot of links, huh? i hope you enjoy them- pick and choose whatever sounds most appealing! (if this overwhelmed you im sorry GKLHLDH i just like being very comprehensive in my answers about things so i got carried away).

and as a reminder, you (and anyone else reading) are always welcome to browse my tags/archive and reblog things from there anytime! i have... nearly 300 ryomina posts which, while mostly consists of art, has a few fics, meta, hcs, gifs, memes, and whatnot scattered about.

or browse the minato and ryoji tags too! there's.. nearly 1k minato. and 500 ish ryoji. and they're going to keep on growing because i can't stop being obsessed with archiving these things. god help me i am so deep in this hole called ryomina hell and now you're here too. welcome aboard!

there's always going to be a lot of fun ways to enjoy rotating ryomina around in one's brain, i think- they're a pairing with such fun symbolic imagery that is So Deep (to me) but ALSO they're immensely hilarious and weird guys (affectionate). so i love to share these things in hopes that it gives you joy too! they are the most couple ever (to me) (i'm biased)

thank you again for the ask! i hope it can satiate your need for more ryomina, and be a nice aide in exploring the p3 fanspace :)

random, but two things that always get me here: Louis' thumb stroking across Lestat's cheek, and how peaceful and gentle Lestat's face looks here

If there's one thing Louis' going to do when he's making out with Lestat, it's hold onto his face and glide a thumb up his cheekbone, and I love that for them and for us.

I don't think just thinking about my work should cause me a panic attack bad enough to nearly make me faint.

I don't think the work environment that produces that reaction should be considered a good one
