Um so I've been sitting on this ask for months cause I didn't want to bother you with how many messages you must get. And because it's difficult for me to be open about my experiences, but I'm working on that part thanks to you! â§â ââ (â â°â âżâ â°â )â ââ â§
For the first time in my 32 years of life I'm starting to open up to my friends and family. When I'm tearing myself down or having a panic attack about how I think I'm failing the people around me, now I say "This is something Siffrin would do, and you'd give them grace, so give yourself grace..." I can't overstate how much your writing has changed my life for the better.
AND I KNOW THIS IS CRINGE but I've been seeking out a last name for myself for many many years, cause I hate having my estranged father's name. And I never found a name that felt right, until now. So I hope it's ok with you that I'm working on changing it to "Frin" as a reminder to keep giving myself grace. đđťđđť
Anyways haha I'm going to curl up in a hole now~! á( á )á But not before I give you a huge thank you. So, THANK YOU!!!
i have no words. im incredibly humbled on all accounts by your message... for thinking about siffrin and how you'd give them grace, so you are giving yourself grace in return... for adopting a last name from isat... for trying your best to be more open!!! weargh!!!!!! you are incredibly brave and i want to thank you for your message from the bottom of my heart. im rooting for you!!!!!!
#ask tag#i dont often answer nice asks for multiple reasons#but this one made me very emotional on this day. thank you#i hope its okay that i answered it publicly. lmk if you want me to hide it!!!#but yeah... if isat was able to make people be more open with their loved ones nothing would make me happier

would love to see beyond birthday napping or relaxing or something! i donât think iâve seen your take on him before
thanks! hope the above is acceptable!
#death note#beyond birthday#bb#anon asks#requests#so at the risk of having my dn fandom card revoked#i have to admit i know very little about this character#and 100% of my knowledge comes from fandom osmosis#i also struggled a bit with this because iâve never drawn him before#and my understanding is that heâs essentially in L cosplay#which may be outside my capabilities to draw#so anyway hope this is okay đ
#thanks for the ask!

having to be very quiet while with leehan in your room because you donât wanna get caught⌠he was acting all cute and innocent like a puppy when he greeted your parents before going up to your room.. but the second the door to your room is closed shut & locked, itâs like he has put down that cute and bubbly mask down in a split secondâŚ
omg nonnie...this is so yummy <3
leehan is on his very best behaviour in front of your parents. he's so sweet and lovely and polite, always saying the right things. being a cute, giggly mess, promising them that he's always taking such good care of you. little did you know that he was referring to a completely different kind of care that you and your parents were thinking of.
as soon as the door closes behind him his pretty hands are all over you. he cups your face and kisses you deeply, wasting no time in letting his tongue tangle with yours. his hands roam all over your body, pulling you closer to him until it practically hurts. he's grabbing your ass and tits, sucking on your bottom lip, biting the sweet spot on your neck...anything to elicit filthy moans from you. he wants to see you fail to be quiet as he touches you.
the moment you both break apart for air, leehan would be speaking to you softly but lowly, with that pretty deep voice of his (i hate him). "need you to be quiet for me, pretty. don't want your parents to find out how good i'm taking care of you, do we?" leehan is always sweet and loving, but in these situations he finds so much pleasure in being a tease and seeing you struggle. he'd spend the rest of the night between your legs with a sickly sweet smirk on his face as threatens to deny your orgasm if you moan too loudly.
once he's done eating you out like his life depended on it, he's fucking you into oblivion. his body is pressed right against yours, one hand over your mouth as he coos and giggles at your inability to keep quiet. "shh, pretty. don't you want to cum?"
#thank you for the ask nonnie <33#i got so carried away omg i'm sorry#also i never got a lot of hard/soft hour asks on my old blog#so i'm still getting used to answer them lol i hope this was okay!#âË ŕ¨ŕ§ hard hrs. bnd âĄ#ihan hard thoughts âĄ#nonnie âĄ#leehan hard thoughts#leehan hard hours#leehan smut#boynextdoor smut#bnd hard hours#bnd hard thoughts

Hello, lately i'm into sub dick grayson. If you could write one and you have some idea i'm very thankfull, he's kind of cocky and sass him act being brat so should put him to his belong
DICK GRAYSON who whines as you stop the slow roll of your hips, one hand gripped at the hair on his nape âI told you I was busy, did I not?â you look down at him âbut you you still had to push my buttonsâ tsking at his insistence to bother you, when you very clearly told him you had an important meeting today. âyeah, but you love itâ he smirks, trying to roll his hips up to meet yours. A soft slap to his cheek and a narrowed gaze is all it took to shut him up. âwhy must you insist on being a brat?â you grab his jaw âI donât like when my baby acts like a bratâ. He huffs, once again trying a futile effort to meet your hips âmaybe iâm starved for attentionâ he taunts. You squeeze his jaw tighter, eyes narrowing dangerously âyou saying I donât give you enough attention? hm? that iâm not good to you?â punctuated by a roll of your hips he lets out a stuttered gasp âbecause if thatâs true then I may as well stop. Since iâm not good to youâ with a teasing smirk you let go of his chin.
He lets out a pleading whine, hands threatening to move from the bed frame, where he was instructed to keep them. âplease, baby pleaseâ he downright whimpers âiâll be good. please just keep goingâ. With a smirk you straddle his lap once again, continue the rhythmic rocking of your hips as he babbles out broken pleas to keep going. âsee. all you have to do is askâ you coo âI donât like my baby being a brat. I much prefer him to be all sweetâ
#spritz *.⢠nonnie#spritz *.⢠thirst#spritz *.⢠ramble#spritz *.⢠dickie#hi nonnie!#hope this is okay!#thank you for the ask âĽď¸#dick grayson smut

what is the theory that ivan manipulated the event where till and mizi met the wagyein?
It's not a theory, actually! It's confirmed that Ivan orchestrated the whole event. The true reason as to why however is still unknown. The information provides more context to this scene, though:
During the earlier times of ALNST the most rational explanation for this scene was that Till ran after a flower crown (presumably Mizi's) and Ivan followed him in out of curiosity. Now we know that Ivan was conveniently just standing there because he was waiting.
Side note, I find it heartbreaking (and maybe a little funny, sorry) that Till most likely didn't notice Ivan in this scene. That's just like him, isn't it. Always too busy running after Mizi while Ivan trails behind, an ever-present shadow.
I'm not sure how Ivan manipulated the circumstances for both of them to end up there, but it is confirmed that everything was intentional. What strikes me most is how they describe this particular scene:
I can't copy down what they said word-for-word (Patreon info), but they described Ivan watching "creepily" as Till and Mizi are faced with danger. We know that Ivan was familiar with the Cerberus wagyein beforehand, enough to touch its teeth and even to rest himself inside its maw. To Ivan, the wagyein is not dangerous, but to Till and Mizi, it could be. Ivan prepared the wagyein, led them there, and watched "creepily" from afar as Till fell on his knees, seemingly injured.
The closest I can get to making sense of Ivan's "scheme" is that he wanted to see how other children would react in a dangerous situation. Ivan's always been an observer, after all, and he's learned to survive by copying the more "normal" behaviors of his peers. This situation occured when Ivan was still young and had not yet developed his more charming mask, so perhaps he staged this encounter to study a situational response, to learn and mimic the emotion of fear. And what better subjects for the experiment than two of the most expressive and reactive humans of their batch? It helps that he was already fixated on Till beforehand, too. I think Ivan became irreversibly obssessed after this incident, especially since it's framed as a turning point in Ivan's life, comparing Till to the stars.
This is just my attempt at an interpretation, though. It could very well be for another reason. He most likely chose Till and Mizi specifically for personal reasons, not just for reaction. I'm still not sure on the purpose behind the whole thing.
The team wanted to capture Ivan's "dark emotions" through the shot of his stalking, which could relate to his more sinister intentions. His gaze can be read in a few different ways, though. Curiosity, interest, fear, etc. Maybe that's why they decided to redraw the shot in ROUND 6.
I think this better sells the feeling they were trying to convey.
#ivan u fucked up little guy.#also okay i just wanna clear this up#i know i make a lot of posts about ivans darker side and his more problematic traits#but this isn't me trying to villainize him or reduce him down to âtoxic yaoiâ#I HOPE YOU GUYS KNOW ALL MY TOXIC YAOI POSTS ARE LIGHTHEARTED.#i just want to clarify that ivan was always intended to be a darker and complicated character. even since his debut in round 3#the way i refer to ivan (âtwistedâ âcreepyâ âobssessiveâ etc) are literally the direct words used by q and v themselves to describe him#but despite that id like to emphasize that i don't see ivan as a villain or a completely bad person. hes complicated#there is no normalcy in this world they are living in. none of the characters know what being truly normal is#this isn't me condoning his actions#but it has to be acknowledged that alnst is fucked up in nature. we can't expect perfect relationships from people who are born to die#plus ivan has a lot more layers past the âdarkâ parts. he's constantly battling himself and his desires#especially at the end of round 6 where he performs a myriad of conflicting actions (kiss strangle peck smile)#thanks to the r6 production notes we now know that ivan was going through a rapid internal conflict#âsure and unsure at the same timeâ#there is sooo much to ivan. his low self-esteem. his desire and possessiveness despite knowing till will never love him#his VEHEMENT insistence that till will never love him vs his desperate persistence in trying anyway#uh i need to shut up i think#anyways sorry. just wanted to clarify my thoughts on him in case people think im. yk.#in short. hes a fucked up little freak and he fascinates me. this poor tragic child. i love him.#SORRY I GOT CARRIED AWAY#alnst#alien stage#alien stage ivan#alnst ivan#asks

I can absolutely talk about bottom Fadel. He would be so overwhelmed at first, trying to hide his face and his noises, not sure whether to push Style away bc it's all just too much or pull him closer bc it's also just so good until Style grabs him by the neck and makes him look into his eyes and murmurs how good Fadel is and just to let go and with a shuddering breath Fadel would finally relax into it. Afterwards Fadel would be shivering all over and clinging to Style who holds him and pets his back, dropping small kisses wherever he can reach and whispering how much he loves Fadel. Yeah... I can totally talk about that.
CLIMBING THE WALLS OF MY OFFICE AND SPINNING COUNTERCLOCKWISE ON THE CEILING BECAUSE YES YES YES ABSOLUTELY YES TO EVERYTHING YOU SAID YOU GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's just the way fadel looks so overwhelmed every time style touches him. every time he's not the one initiating physical contact and taking charge of the direction it takes. and yet at the same time he almost looks in pain with how hard he tries not to show it, as if there's something wrong in being on the receiving end of pleasure, in feeling that pleasure and letting it wash over him, pulling him under. even jerking off seems like a perfunctory act just to scratch an itch and be done with it as quickly as possible
style, tho. style is all about pleasure and fun and feeling good. heâs also more observant than anyone gives him credit for. so when fadel bites his lip so hard to the point he draws blood just to prevent himself from making any noises while style sucks him off, of course style notices. he also decides right there and then that that simply wonât do
the next time style presses fadel down onto the mattress, he takes his time. he sucks and bites on fadelâs nipples until fadel starts squirming under him, telling him to just get on with it already. style looks at fadelâs flushed face and heaving chest, at the way heâs already rock hard and leaking through his underwear, and wonders if he could make fadel come just by playing with his pecs, but that will have to wait. he finally moves lower, kissing his way down to the wet spot on fadelâs underwear and mouthing at it. fadel barks out his name, half a warning half a plead, voice strained and legs trembling
style frees him from the underwear, slicks his fingers with lube, and presses gently at fadelâs entrance with one. fadel seems to relax for a second, but the furrow between his brows is back as soon as he realizes that style has no intention to hurry. style tries to distract him with kisses, the rhythm of his finger inside fadel excruciately slow on purpose. he adds another, and he knows he has found fadelâs prostate when fadel jolts away from the kiss and his hands close around styleâs arms as if to push him away. style shushes him, his free hand coming up to hold fadelâs head. he hits the same spot with his fingers again, and fadelâs grips on his arm tightens. fadelâs eyes are blown wide and his teeth are sinking into his lower lip
style places a kiss on fadelâs temple and starts talking, his fingers massaging the same spot inside fadel again and again. âitâs okay to let go, you know. you donât always have to be strong and keep your guard up, at least not with me. im here. iâve got you. let me hear you. let me take care of you.â for the first time, fadel throws his head back and comes with a loud cry
ANYWAY. sorry for this mess, i guess i got kinda inspired by what you wrote ;;;;;;; THE POINT IS THAT STYLE WOULD LOVE TO TURN FADEL INTO A PLIANT SOBBING MESS AND TELL HIM HOW GOOD HE IS AND FADEL NOT ONLY WOULD LET HIM BUT ALSO COME TO LOVE IT THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK
#IDK WHAT THIS IS AND I SHOULD HAVE PROBABLY PROOFREAD IT ONCE BUT I WOULD NEVER POST OT IF I DID SO#sorry again if i kinda hijacked your message ;;;;;;;#BUT I AGREE SO MUCH WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAID#AND THANK YOU FOR COMING TO TALK TO ME ABOUT IT#YOU MADE MY DAY SO MUCH BETTER#i hope you're gonna have the most amazing weekend!!!!! đ#the heart killers#fadelstyle#stylefadel#celebelei#m: ask#why do i try to write stuff when im not a writer ;;;;;;;#but also this made me want to make an analysis about fadelstyle's sex scenes#but also where is the time and where are the words#okay im shutting up now

Hi! Can please get #56 with ghoap x reader for Spotify 100 blurb? I am curious to see what happens... >_<
hi darling! yes absolutely, thank you for the prompt!
it's all about confidence baby / she's making me nervous, she's making me nervous
a smirk paints simon's lips as he leisurely sips his whiskey. two fingers, love â he had asked when you offered him a drink.
you gave him three with a glittering smile and a wink.
johnny is a right mess, nervously fiddling with his glass thatâs still untouched, salted rim of his top-shelf tequila enticing, but not enough to actually take it.
you pout when you walk by, ready to refill him, your own glass hidden under the table to take one with him, but itâs still as neat as when you first placed it in front of him.
you open your mouth to say something, but a call from the other end of the bar catches your attention. another quick look to johnny shows heâs no closer to taking his drink. you slink away, your own glass untouched.
the bar is decorated with flashes of silver and gold, glitter dusting the countertops to ring in the new year. but you were the most gorgeous creature there and soap canât look away.
âitâs been an hour, mate,â gaz slurs as he comes to the bar, his third glass of the night already empty. âjust ask âer out.â
simon snorts into his glass, far too amused for soapâs liking.
gaz tips his glass in your direction, and you visibly brighten. they are your favorite regulars, after all.
âanother one already, pretty boy?â your voice floats over the music, teasing, paired with a lethal grin that makes soap weak in the knees. soap knows the pet name isnât directed at him, but his face heats and he ducks his head. you wouldnât be able to tell in the low light of the bar anyway, but he doesnât want to risk it.
âjohnny,â you whine, and he canât ignore you when you sound so sad. he looks up, the pout on your face even worse as you eye his glass. âdo you not like it? itâs your favorite.â
gaz has a fresh drink in hand but is pointedly not leaving. he knocks soapâs shoulder â wasnât even trying to be subtle about it â so now everyoneâs attention was on him. your eyes are extra sparkly under the lights, and soap decides itâs now or never.
âcan ah take ye on a date?â he blurts out, blush hot on his cheeks, heart doubling over itself.
your answering smile is blinding, perching up on your toes enough to lean over the counter. your fingers are soft on his cheeks, if not a bit sticky from the drinks youâve been pouring all night, but he doesnât care when your lips press against his.
the kiss isnât perfect, both of you too caught up in smiling to kiss proper, but you give him a cheeky bite to his bottom lip before pulling away, a promise for more later.
price comes to gather his boys, motioning to a billiards table that just opened up for them. he gives you a nod in acknowledgment, and you make sure theyâre all topped up on their drinks before they amble away. soap finally gives in to do a shot with you, and price mutters christ under his breath when you pass soap the lime from between your teeth.
âweâll see you at home, doll,â simon calls as soap drags him away, saying that heâll beat gaz and price this time, for sure.
#thank you so much for the ask !!! i hope this is okay !!!! went with something a bit cute but#good vibes for 2025 !!!#if it doesnât make sense ghoap and reader are already dating and soap is just so head over heels in love he gets shy about it#ink by bambi#ghoap x reader#ghoap x you#ghoap#ghoap imagine#ghoap fluff#modern warfare imagine#simon riley#soap mactavish#cod x reader#cod x you#asks âĄ#anon darling âĄ

Why do you think the tides have slightly turned from "Elia deserves better than Rhaegar" to shipping her and Rhaegar together? Like what is the psychology behind these people because I've seen some of them like/reblog anti Rhaegar posts while also shipping Rhaegar x Elia at the same time.
hey anon! my thoughts are a bit messy, but iâve done my best to explain them coherently :)
so, rhaegar was the best man anyone could have when elia was alive, and most people want the best for their favs. he was considered the most handsome, didnât have a bad personality, and he was crown princeâmeaning elia was almost queen, which is often seen as the greatest role a woman can have. the narrative also treats rhaegar as a beautiful, tragic, haunting figure, and elia actually had this very aesthetically pleasing man all to herself at one point! she was married to him, had children with him, and her life was so close to perfect! but rhaegar just had to go and ruin it. đ
for many elia stans, if rhaegar hadnât fallen in love with another woman (they want him to have been a completely different character), then everything wouldâve been perfect, and elia wouldâve had the best, most desirable life. however, thatâs not what happenedâelia met a very tragic end, and as a result, these stans feel double the bitterness. because of this bitterness, they blame rhaegar for everything (even though itâs not logical to do so), but heâs just too âperfectâ to let go of. so, for years these stans have made rhaegar revolve around elia, filling his tag with posts about her out of bitterness. so, i do believe that this obsession with rhaegar x elia has always been there, but i think itâs become a more favorable stance on the elia stan side of the fandom because of a mix of reasons.
plus, rhaegar is one of the few canon relationships we know elia had, since sheâs not much of a character. because of this, and the fact that most people donât like to stray too far from canon, most elia stans are forced to focus on rhaegar, which has created an echo chamber. basically, if a sentiment about elia and rhaegarâs relationship becomes popular, then the whole elia stan side of the fandom will likely regurgitate the sentiment. (also, this desire to stick close to canon is likely why the elia x arthur ship was so popular. while itâs a total crack ship, it had good aesthetics, and since elia and arthur at least knew each other, it allowed the stans to create their perfect fanfiction whilst sticking it to rhaegar. but remember, elia was actually married to rhaegar and had children with him, so while arthur is cool, rhaegar was always âtop dog,â meaning arthur would never be able to match up to rhaegar to most elia stans. also, the arthur x elia crack ship is likely her second most popular ship, which just shows how little elia stans have to work with, so theyâre always forced to eventually return back to rhaegar for a lot of things.)
however, even if the elia x rhaegar ship gains more popularity, these stans will never stop hating rhaegar because he wasnât âperfectââand he wasnât perfect because he didnât love elia. plus, rhaegar loving another woman and supposedly kidnapping her is what began the war that led to eliaâs tragic death. thatâs bitterness times 1000. and while i donât actually blame rhaegar for the war, i do think that this is how an elia stan sees it. i also donât view rhaegarâs complex relationship with elia as a bad thingâitâs actually a very realistic take on an arranged marriage between two decent people. but most elia stans will never be able to get over the fact that they almost had everything, which is why many have it out for lyanna, as they consider her a thief who ruined their âperfection.â
tbh, that might be why so many elia stans are so obsessed with the idea that rhaegar only got with lyanna because of the prophecyâthey donât want to believe that rhaegar actually loved a different woman and not their perfect self insert elia. thatâs a bit mean of me⌠but i donât know what else one would call the âeliaâ elia stans have created.
now that iâve laid all those thoughts out, iâll try to explain why the tides seem to be turning⌠i think it may have something to do with the âtargaryens are all evil and badâ sentiment losing popularity. i think this shift has occurred due to a mix of factors, such as years of fandom fights and fandom cycles leading to the targs being more liked now than before. it helps that canon doesnât actually condemn the targs/favors them quite a bit, and the influx of new targ fans from HOTD has also contributed. this combination of reasons seems to have shifted the way the mainstream fandom discusses all the targaryen characters, including rhaegar. so, with this shift, itâs only natural that some elia stans/elia x rhaegar shippersâwhoâve always been thereâare using this opportunity to push their agenda. while these stans still hate rhaegar and see him as the bad guy, they just canât let go of him. and as the mainstream fandom moves away from the anti targaryen sentiment, these smaller corners of the fandom, which tend to be echo chambers, are also affected, which has therefore led to a rise in rhaegar x elia shippers and the âshifting tideâ that youâve also noticed.
#âif only rhaegar did thisâ is a very common sentiment amongst elia stans#most stans have always had the âif onlyâ mindset#âif only elia survivedâ easily leads to âif only rhaegar didnât run off with his whoreâ as the targs become less hated#itâs kinda a pipeline? rhaegar anti plus elia stan leads to rhaegar x elia shipper who still hates rhaegar#another reason that a lot of this happens is because elia and the martells plus dorne are the good âothersâ a person can like#while the targaryens are the âbad othersâ one can safely hate as theyâre white & have a bit of demon symbolism + come from an âevilâ empire#the targs also ruled over everyone so a lot of fans like pushing all the blame onto them for all the problems#however the targs are cool and theyâre hot af and being royalty is the best! so theyâre the âbad othersâ one can safely hate#but people still want their aesthetic and want their favs to have what the targs had. all the cool magic + the aesthetic + danys monikers#so people can convince themselves that itâs okay and logical and right to hate the targs but most ppl will still connect their favs to them#of course⌠things have been shifting in the fandom which iâm very happy about#and all of these sentiments are combined and compressed when it comes to rhaegar and elias relationship#so any big shift on how the fandom views the targs will always affect the way rhaegar and elias relationship is viewed#it just so happens that the targs arenât the evil dragon nazis anymore so itâs kinda okay for elia stans to ship him with her#iâm not gonna go through my tags and make sure they make sense so iâm simply hoping for the best#anyways⌠i hope i didnât digress too much. i just found this shift so interesting so i couldnât help myself#asoiaf fandom critical#anti elia stans#rhaegar targaryen#anti rhaegar x elia#house targaryen#valyrianscrolls#pro rhaelya#lyanna stark#rhaegar x lyanna#anon ask#thanks anon this was a fun topic to cover#i recently found a really old post about both elia and lyanna and boy⌠it was quite discusting to read#elia stans kinda cycle from âelia deserved better x crack ship with shallow aestheticâ back to elia x rhaegar while shitting on rhaelya#just know that rhaegar is always the bad guy to them! the sentiment on lyanna will go from hot to cold but rhaelya is always bad as well!
