csvent-2/723227829644541952/skirescccat-nobody-owes-you-their-time-forcing
Do you know one of the reasons why CS is so shit? It's not just the rampant consumerism, dekudogging for $$$, and big-headed staff. It's because people have lost the concept of what makes a community and its relationships cohesive. They take and take and take and then moan when they're expected to give back to anyone but a friend or popular artist. They demand your time ("hey, look at this neat drawing I did/funny meme/my comm opening/etc!") but heaven forbid you want to see some reciprocation.
Sure, you don't owe anyone your time and shouldn't be forced to interact with one or more person(s) every time you see them if you don't want to. There are levels and balances to social interaction.
Emphasis on balance. You don't have to be an open or closed door. You can and should have office hours and days where you're more open to the public, so to speak.
You might say, "I'm curating MY experience online", and of course that's important.
At a certain extreme point--which we have reached here--it becomes an "I got mine" attitude, which is antithetical to the idea of a community, club, etc. It has little to do with boundaries or personal space and much to do with cohesion and reciprocity. A CS group is a community.
A CS Discord server that anyone can join is essentially a public meetup, where a community more or less interacts. Imagine, for a moment, the server is an IRL meetup. You'd look like a jackass if you had that "I got mine, look at meeeeee" attitude. Lurk the public server and stick to group chats/private servers if you're that precious about your time and space. Nobody wants you around if you're going to be like that.
I cannot believe I have to explain this at this level of detail. Yes, other people would like their turn at the Attention. Other people would like nice comments. Other people would like to feel like they're not invisible. Other people would like to feel like they're an actual member of the community instead of a breathing wallet. Other people would like the chance to make friends.
If you were "I got mine" IRL, you'd have no friends within a couple months. If you do have IRL friends, you're probably careful not to pull this shit and don't even realize you do it. Friendships are their own type of community, with all that entails. How to stay cohesive is an instinct present in all social animals, with levels of the instinct of course varying by individual.
The anonymity of the web and shit nature of CS make sure that instinct doesn't activate. You have to care about people other than yourself, your little group, and people who can benefit you to activate that instinct "by hand".
Sure, nobody owes you their time. But this goes both ways. I hope you and anyone else who thinks like you experience the unpleasant side of it jarringly and with great frequency until you get it.
The fact I had to sit here and write this essay about something so fucking basic is yet another sign that the concept of CS should be doused in gasoline and lit on fire, along with all the over-priced PNGs within it.

if it’s not too much trouble can i request a pt. 2 to the ‘overhearing their crush talking about them’ w/ atsumu, tendou, and bokuto ?
Haikyuu Characters Overhearing their crush talking about them - pt 2:
Includes Atsumu, Tendou and Bokuto! - These ones have a smidge more angst than the first ones but I love it! Thank you for the request, it was loads of fun! 💗 - Feel free to request more parts!
Miya Atsumu:
The stadium was filled with shouts, screams and music. Atsumu stood on the court, his hands feeling the familiar shape of the ball, with its blue and yellow stripes and perfect bounce. He lifted his hand and clenched his fist, the echoes of cheers immediately ceased. He could still hear the shouts of those cheering the other teams, those on the courts near him, but his court was silent. Then, from behind the barrier closest to the court, he heard a condescending whisper.
“Ugh, he’s so pretentious. Who does he think he is, silencing the crowd like that? People aren’t going to pander to him forever, you know, he’s got to grow up someday.”
Atsumu felt his cheeks heat in anger, and a little bit of embarrassment. He knew how his actions came across; arrogant, pathetic, rude, he’s heard them all, but it still hurt a little each time.
“Hey!” Another whisper sliced through the air, “I’d like to see you make a better serve! He’s great at what he does and you shouldn’t be rude about it!” He caught a glimpse of you, the speaker, from the corner of his eye, but then the whistle blew and he had to make his serve.
A few rotations later, he was back in serving position, the previous instance almost gone from his mind.
“I still think it’s ridiculous!” The first voice said. His shoulders drooped a little, but then he heard your voice again, sharp as a knife.
“Look, if it bothers you, then leave. Maybe it isn’t a habit he can carry into professional volleyball, so what? He’s not an olympic volleyball player, he’s a teenager, like us, and you can leave it! He’s probably working on the habit and then, in a few years, he’ll be making the best serves you’ve ever seen! You wouldn’t be able to do anything a 10th as good with all of the focus in the world! Try focusing on a test with a crowd of people screaming and see how you do!” You were angry, passionate, and on his behalf! He recognised your voice, you who he’d liked for a few months; you’d given some presentation with him for a class once, and he thought that you were nice... and not bad to look at, not at all. He bounced the ball a few times and then-
“You’re only saying that because you like him! You’d defend him if he was trialled for murder!” He stopped dead, you? Liked him? No way was that possible, you barely knew who he was! Or at least... he thought so.
“So what if I like him? Doesn’t make me weird for having a shred of respect!”
With an ear-splitting grin, he hit a service ace, and, after the match, he winked and waved at you, before walking over to ask for your number.
Satori Tendou:
Tendou was on his way to get his copy of Shonen Jump back from Ushiwaka! His friend had borrowed it again, and Tendou had had to let him have an extra week with it so that he could read and re-read all of the adverts. He loved his friend, he really did, but was it really necessary to read every single ad? Regardless, he was skipping through the corridors, humming a little tune to himself about his lunch, and bears, and silly, emotionally stunted friends who like reading adverts for feminine hair-care. However, he screeched to a sudden halt before turning the corner, having heard his name.
“Have you seen that middle blocker though? Yeah, the one with the red hair, Tendou, wasn’t it? He’s a little creepy, don’t you think? He’s got this look... like he knows all of your secrets and is plotting to do something to you.” Tendou felt his heart sink slightly, he knew that people thought he was scary, he’d dealt with it since he was little - the title of ‘Guess Monster’ wasn’t just due to his blocking prowess. But then, then then then! He heard your voice! He’d always loved your voice, he felt that he could listen to it forever, the way your tone rose and fell, the way you pronounced words. He’d fallen for you since the day you’d been dragged with the rest of the school to one of their matches, and he’d seen your face break out in delight when he pulled off a spectacular block. It was the best feeling in the world! He often got paired with you in one of your lessons, and made every excuse to let you do all the talking, just to sit there and listen.
“I don’t think he’s creepy... I think he’s wonderful.”
“What you like him? Don’t tell me you have a thing for him! That’s so weird!” It never hurt any less, hearing that.
“I do like him! He’s adorable and a great blocker and really smart! He always knows how I’m feeling in class and is always able to cheer me up with little jokes or songs!”
And with that, Tendou’s face turned as red as his hair. You liked him! You liked him, you liked him! You liked him! Back! He waited for you to leave, stalking off in a different direction to the others, before letting out a crow of joy. As he skipped, with even more vigour, down to where Ushiwaka was, he thought about how to confess, and about how he had to tell his best friend everything.
Bokuto Koutarou:
Here he was again, Nationals! Akaashi’s presence was steady at his side and the air smelt of sweat, effort and air salonpas. He would have had energy for days! But... he’d found out that his team weren’t playing on the main courts and he couldn’t help but feel a little upset. He’d wanted to be where more people could watch, where the action was! Not only for fun, although that was a large part of it, but because him being noticed meant that his team would get noticed! And Bokuto’s team was amazing! They deserved all of the attention and recognition that they could get, and everyone needed to watch them! He was aware that people thought that he was childish, immature... annoying... underwhelming, overrated. He got hurt by that a lot, actually... but he always bounced back! It was just that today, he wasn’t feeling his best, they’d only narrowly won the match before and he had the slight sense that he was letting his team down.
He wondered if you’d even bother to watch him? You, who he’d had a crush on for ages, you who looked glorious and was wonderful and smart and everything that Bokuto didn’t think he was... You saw each other every morning, and you’d unfailingly ask him about practice. He thought, maybe you were just being nice, didn’t care about him at all. His thoughts were spiralling, and he could feel the worried glances from his teammates, pitying him, probably, he was so useless, always dragging them down and now they don’t get to be seen because he wasn’t noticeable enough and-
“Come on! We’re going to miss it!” You?
“Why are we even here? You’re not even into sport.” You. You were sprinting frantically down the corridor, dragging a friend behind you.
“No no, you don’t understand! We have to watch our school play, remember? Fukurodani! I’ve been telling you about this all month! We were here yesterday!”
“Yeah but... why? Run it past me again, I’ve forgotten.”
“UGH!” He almost laughed, you were so wonderful when you were passionate, “Because I need to watch their ace play! Bokuto! The one I’ve been ranting about! With his amazing spikes and funny personality and amazing muscles and!-”
“Woah, okay! I get it! You’ve got a ginormous crush on the volleyball ace and want to see him play as much as possible to try and get him to notice you, sheesh!”
“Don’t laugh at my pain! I need him to notice meeeeee...” Your voice trailed off as you ran, and Bokuto’s heart swelled like a balloon. You thought he was great! You thought he was funny and attractive and great at volleyball! You really were the best! He resolved to confess to you immediately after the match, but first? They had to win. He spun around to face his team, beaming from ear to ear.
“HEY HEY HEY EVERYONE! Let’s smash this thing!”
And he strode onto the court with a resounding cheer from his team, knowing that he’d win, for you.

Ducktales Della Arc Reviews: The Spear of Selene or THE INCREDIBLE STORKULES, GOD OF HOMEROTIC SUBTEXT OUT OF MYTH!
Hello all you happy people and welcome back to my coverage of the Della arc! It’s our last 2017 episode before the Finale, and it’s a huge one as we delve into a fan faviorite that introduces a pair of fan faviorites, a drum of tzatkiki sauce worth of gay, an asshole so odious getting sent to the bowls of hades and laughed at for all enternity after being cast out by eveyrone he knows really was getting off light, and at last some plot progression on this arc. At the time it aired mind you at this point Dellas been a beloved cast member for three years, and we’ve known what happened to her for longer than that.
At the time though.. it’d been 8 MONTHS since the Great Dime Chase. Let that sink in. The Della reveal was the biggest hook of an already exceptional pilot: It not only promised to flesh out a character who’d had all of one story in the comics at this point in present day, but solve the mystery of why she was gone. Not only that but Scrooge and Donald’s feud clearly stemmed from this exact moment. And the first full episode in the arc confirmed it: Della had taken whatever “The Spear of Selene” was and apologized to Scrooge for it. So why had she taken it, why did Donald blame scrooge, why did Scrooge not blame himself, at least outwardly, where was she, what was the spear of selene...
As I pointed out last time airing order didn’t help and due to airing the arc episodes really close together, gave the impression the arc would not only move fast but take up more of the season than it did. In practice both arcs take up a fourth of the season not including the finale, which would take both up to about a third. The expectation on how much of the season would be taken up by the arc.. was on Disney for airing things badly. I will give credit where it’s do as they moved this episode up in the order to try and make up for it (and give themselves a huge mid season opener).. but then for some reason shoved the last episode before last crash, ie. the only one they coudln’t move, way back to right before that episode. “ Here’s an actual photo of the person who made this decision
As I said they did get better next season with only a few swaps and only for good reason. So props.
HOWEVER.... this episode still has some flaws with pacing and revealing info, with or without Disney drunk driving the schedule. The wait between episodes in this plot is an episode LONGER in production order... and dosen’t move the plot forward by much. I will get to that when the time comes.. and that DESPITE this treatment of the fans.. this episode is still one of the seasons best. How are both things true? Join me under the cut to find out.
Thunderstormy to be precise and the Sunchaser is natrually encountering loads of turbulence with Launchpad barely holding int here while Donald’s buffeted around the back. Why Donald’s with them...
But it’’s one of his only five starring episodes in the season, out of 9 appearances total the rest of which are cameos. Yeah now seems as good as time as any to talk about Season 1′s Donald Duck problem.
See Donald was promoted as a major part of the series, rightly so since he was reduced to a guest star for the 87 series due to a combination of Disney not wanting to overexpose the characters, people possibly not being able to understand his voice and thus making plots hard to understand, and Tony Anselmo being new to the roll at the time. So the reboot went all out promoting the fact Donald would be in it, front and center and gave him TWO character shorts to the rest of the casts one. Disney really went out of their way to show he’d be in there so as a certified Donald Fanatic, I was sure he’d actually be in the show a lot and on the adventures a lot. The crew were not blameless as both promotional arts featured him. Launchpad and Beakly conversely were asbent, so the impression given by all of this was that Donald would be central to the series and in a lot of episodes, given equal focus to scrooge and the kids.
This.. didn’t happen as you all know. Instead as stated he’s up front and center for 5 episodes, and makes cameos in others, but generally is hardly around. Now there is KINDA an excuse to this as he doesn’t want to adventure, be in the mansion or any of that.. but it’s a REALLY weak one. He still at least could’ve made more cameos, the fact he was working on the boat all that time isn’t made clear till last crash, and his two spotlight episodes both have him dragged along on the adventure anyway, so it’s not like his not wanting to be there meant he woudln’t be forced to join in anyway. There were ways to include him, still have him in a supporting role instead of leaving him back at the mansion.. and even the second episode proved there was still comedy to be mliked from that.. and pathos don’t forget the pathos. So yeah this was easily the biggest mistake of the season and one season 2 largely corrected: He got four dedicated plots, and was around a decent amount in the first half of the season and while he DID get shot up to the moon... it was for valid reasons. They wanted to focus on Della and the kids, give her room to breathe as a brand new major addition to the show, and thus him being around and the elephant in the room of his and scrooge’s feud that was never dealt with on screen, would’ve distracted from that. And even with that they still gave him a focus episode that somehow added more depth and MASSIVELY advanced the main plot, and a sizeable roll in the finale. Season 3 likewise had things better: while he shows up as much as in season 1, the episode count is lower by one, and he’s a major part of the plot in every one BUT Last Christmas, with four of those having the spotlight on him in some way. They eventually did figure out how to use him far more ballanced. So yeah credit where it’s do it got MUCH better, but he still felt like a recurring character in his own series, that was still bad, and I still needed to give out about it.
But Webby and Dewey have a mission even if Dewey dosen’t quite get what’s going on so they flip a switch to turn on a warning light of some kind forcing Launchpad to make an emergency landing on a gorgeous tropical island. To Huey’s amazement, as the place was apparenlty only a myth, though naturally the guidebook did have it’s aproximate location listed... Ithaquack, home of the gods. Naturally Scrooge and Donald want to leave as soon as possible for reasons we’ll get into but Launchpad , for once is being a responsible pilot “Better safe than.. something right? Scrooge is of course irate that Launchpad picked NOW of all times to be safe, and the Kids.. don’t listen because Huey sees a beautiful realm of myth, Louie sees a beach vacation and Dewey and Webby.. have work to do. Webby eventually fills Dewey in on why their here, having wrongly assumed he got why they were going to a mythical greek island. As Dewey delightfully puts it later “Don’t assume I know anything. “ So she pieces it together for him: Selene was the greek goddess of the moon... Della took the SPEAR of Selene. Ergo this island is the best place to find the Spear and failing that, Selene herself to get more info on it and Della.
So we have our two plots. Scrooge and Donald dealing with their pasts and the gods, and Dewey and Webby diving into his mom’s past. And unlike the last review where a genuinely unsettling story about an abuse victim forced to manipulate her girlfriend not going into a murder vault was paired with Louie having to deal with a Sasquatch while Huey catches a case of Dewey’s stupidity somehow, these two plots are perfectly paired: Their both perfectly thematically connected, both dealing with the past, Della’s absence and Scrooge and the Twins past encounters with the gods.. but both being self contained outside of that, entirely unconnected but stilll necessary to be in the same episode. THIS is how you do two plots. But since they don’t really synch up again till the end, let’s cover each one at a time shall we?
“What if My Mom was a Bad Person?”
The plot is pretty straight forward but expertly done: Dewey and Webby first check your standard Zelda dungeon which apparently has a cursed weapon at the end. We also get an utterly adorable and sweet shot of Webby comforting Dewey after he’s clearly shook from it. Awwww. Turns out it’s the SWORD of Selene. and quickly turns into a game of put the Cursed Sword back before we all die.
Next up is a monster who nearly kills both protecting it’s spear.. the spear of POSIDEN. (Look at meeeeee). And since they aren’t going to be on a boat that isn’t a house boat anytime soon, they don’t need that and the monster cheerfully redirects them, with Dewey apologizing for calling it ugly.
So all pretty standard stuff for the show and really good stuff.. but it’s the building tension underneath that truly makes the episode and leads to one hell of a climax for this plot. All the while Dewey is DESPERATE for some explination for his mom’s disapperance that isn’t her betraying Scrooge, maybe returning the spear because it was cursed or getting eaten by a monster. Just ANYTHING but the mounting and horrifying suspicion.. that his mom was a bad person who destroyed her family and betrayed her uncle and laughed all the while. Webby.. does not help, backing that side of things and constantly voicing hte idea Della betrayed Scrooge, so obsessed with solving the mystery of her life.. but so unfamilliar with people she dosen’t see the very real toll this is taking on her best friend. To her she’s just making a logical counterpoint.. to him it’s just another idea in his head about the way his mom could’ve betrayed everyone she cared about.
So that climax is where it explodes. Our heroes find a scale model of ithaquack (Complete with Tiny Maniticore! It’s so cute Webby just wants to slay it) and an opening.. with an ominous message about incurring the wrath of the god seemingly conforming the worst. So Webby prepares to find out the whole story.. only for Dewey to stop her. No one’s finding this out, whatever it is, no matter how far they’ve come. And given this is the biggest mystery of her life and she simply dosen’t understand WHY Dewey dosen’t want to know.. both sides are ready to fight for this. And Webby DOES try to back him down, pointing out he really can’t beat her in a fight. But Dewey’s already grown leaps and bounds form the pilot and is working smarter not harder. Beat Webby, who spent a good chunk of her life being honed into the most badass child on the parent, one who can take on several of scrooge’s worst foes one on one? Not on his life. But hold her off long enough for the gate to close? He can do that.
So the result? One of the best fights of the series... and given the sheer amount of great ones we’ve gottten since this one it still says something it holds up THIS well. It’s an even, furiously paced fight, with Dewey using every advantage he has including tossing said manticore to keep up, but not slowing down one bit. It’s heartbreaking to see the two come to this but it’s an delight to watch. Webby DOES win eventually, though time’s running out to get in and she finally asks WHY. And while the stakes have been crystal clear for both this whole time.. we get them laid out in the most painful way for both.
Webby: We're so close to the truth! Why won't you let us find it?! Dewey: Because...*his voice cracks* what if my mom was a bad person?
It hits VERY hard. For Webby this has been a puzzle something to solve the greatest achivment of her life, her chance to make her mark... and her best friend just wanted to abandon it. But in one swift response, he disarms all of that.. and makes her see how insnstivie she’s been: He may not know his mom.. but he can’t bear the thought she was a bad person. That she left or WORSE, because she didn’t care about him, or scrooge or ANYONE. Knowing nothing is better than knowing she was a monster.
Webby realizes what she’s been doing to her friend and is horrified and offers to back out. The answers.. aren’t worth destroying her brother. But her willingness to back down.. finally gets Dewey to see the light. His fear was valid.. but at the end of the day, it’d never go away. it’d just keep eating him for the rest of his life, every time she was mentioned or he found something else out he’d just wonder if it was a lie and wonder wht he COULD’VE learned this day. And if Webby’s willing to sacrifice THIS MUCH to give him peace of mind... then he can sacrifice that peace of mind for the truth, for her, and for himself. So he pulls them inside.
Inside they find Selene who suprises them.. and is then confused. Their not della. Also I guarantee mentally she’s thiking “Thank me I didn’t do it naked this time. “. After some confusion as to who this is, Webby explains that IS Selene, and Dewey begs for answers about the spear... only to find out she dosen’t have one. Nope. The sword seen before and a SPHERE, yes.. but no Spear. So the poor boy breaks down, back to square one. It’s hard not to see why... all this effort, all of this sacrifice.. and he’s no closer than when they first set down.
Selene does help though... giving him an idea of who his mom WAS: one of her closest friends (And let’s face it Della named the ship after Selene and Selene casually uses Della’s shower. If they didn’t go out at least once, I am an outer god. And I very much am not and they very much banged hard. Goodnight. ) , a good person who brought fun to everyone, and loved her family more than anything. Wether she betrayed Scrooge or not, she wasn’t a bad person. And her own orb shows it showing Della in her prime, brightly smiling next ot her family. Selene encourages the boy not to give up, that his mom always loved a mystery.. and he can solve this one and gently hugs the sobbing child.. with Dewey quickly pulling webby in. It’s genuinely touching and a satisfying ISH ending.
The ish... is because while this is a VERY good plot, i’ll gush more about it at the end, it does have one supreme flaw: the mystery dosen’t progress. And with the huge gaps between this episode and hte next one, in BOTH airing orders... it’s unforgivable to not have EITHER plot give us any hints about what happened. I don’t ask for much, but they could’ve found a clue in the sphere Dewey got, or saw a memory of her that brought up the next place they look, just something a little. While it’s still a very fine story, the main plot suffers a bit by having one of the ONLY three episodes delving into the della mystery before it’s fully revealed in sunchaaser have almost no progress. Della was probably a good person, which comes from her ex who clearly still loves her so that’s not really reliable, and the spear isn’t literal. While the lack of progress works for the story in the episode itself.. it comes at the cost of any actual plot progression. We end up exactly where we started and have to wait SOME TIME before we get to the next spot on the tour. Well we did, you guys will find out Monday or Tuesday depending on if the finale goes up in the morning or Disney holds it till the actual airing. Please don’t you bastards. Point is it’s VERY good plot, but it’s hampred by not really progressing the arc.
The arc progression for this storyline is painfully slow, and tha’ts not on disney. In either order there’s a MASSIVE gap of 15+ episodes between what we learned in the great dime chase and what we learn in castle mcduck. It’s sloppy writing and I expect better from this team, especially since the Lena plot the same season is far tighter paced: each one builds a bit, both on Lena as a character (Why she’s doing this etc), her development as a person, her relationship with webby growing and Magica and her growing more and more spiteful with one another. They could’ve had at least ONE MORE subplot to build this up, especially since we really dind’t need the sasquatch episode but just.. didn’t for whatever reason and it’s still frustrating. But as always credit where it’s due.. the next two seasons were better about it.
Season 2 while not perfect, and we’ll get to it’s plots someday.. and I do say plots as not alternating between the two plots for season 1 was a mistake if a well meaning one as not to drive up the price for Kev but for future refrence if any of you want me to cover an arc for something I WILL have to cover all of it or any adjacent to it that flow into it. Point is they move faster and both Glomgold and Louie’s are pretty lowkey and low stakes so while enjoyable, their not moving incredibly fast dosen’t hurt the show. And the Moon plot has the best pacing of the three and possibly of the series plots period: We get filled in on Della fairly quick, getting answers on her WAY faster, get introduced to the moon and it’s people right away, get a whole episode on them, and the most importantly in sharp contrast? She returns HOME halfway into the season.
I will probably go into this again when I get to nothing will stop della duck but Season 1′s pacing and general wisdowm made me think she wouldn’t get home anytime soon and she’d return in the finale. Instead? We get a whole half a season fleshing her out further, seeing her connect with her kids, all that good stuff, WITH an episode advancing the moon arc, without that arc feeling unimportant, but still having the slow pacing.
Season 3 meanwhile while again not without bugs, the last few episodes before the finale having no real build up to it really wasnt a good idea and I question why these two episodes were the ones leading into it, has two seemingly barely related plots.. that EFFORTLESLY merge into one, with one hell of a huge twist in impossibin that ratchets up the stakes. I don’t know how it’ll payoff.. but we’ll see.
So they did get better, i’m still hard on it because it happened.. but I will never stop stressing how this crew usually corrected a mistake. If they fucked up, they LEARNED FROM IT, course corrected, and made it better and they listened to US. IN the good way, not letting fans run the series but listening to valid concerns and adapting to them. And given how fucking rare that is and how hard it must’ve been with the tight schedule, I.. I really appricate it and i’m going to miss it. And I can’t think of a segue so enjoy this picture of a turtle hitting a trapper in the face with a bat instead.
“Someone Always Gets Hurt”
So let’s take it back a few hours. Hit it boys!
Donald tries getting the boys back on the ship, clearly fearing something coming for him.. and we soon meet that something. Yes it’s the hero of legend, the stork out of myth, the star of a LOT of Donald Duck Slash FanFiction only half of which he wrote, STORKULES!
In case I didn’t make it clear when I reviewed New Gods on the Block! I love this guy. He reminds me a LOT of the marvel version: Boisterious , horny (if in a far more pg version), Gay (Pansexual for the marvel version), flawed but still immensley likeable. Stork is a bit diffrent, a bit more naive, a bit peppier and entirely blind to the fact his father is a terrible person. But my love of the marvel herc means Stork was an easy sell for me and Chris Dimatopolis’ performance is second to none, only topped in this series by his later work as Darkwing where he got a bit more range than “Joyous ham who wants to bang”. Also I’m 100% convenced he’s made this memetic expression to donald at some point...
If someone hasn’t redrawn that with Storkules yet, we have failed as an internet. And if someone has please show me.
His crush on Donald is also endearing even if I don’t ship the two. And if your curious as to why it’s simple: Storkules is attracted to a version of Donald that no longer exists. Storkules craves a Donald whose a brave daring hero who loves adventure. And while still a brave hero when the situation calls for it as this episode will bare out.. he just.. dosen’t have the passion for adventure he did as a kid. While a LOT of that is loosing his sister for a decade, even once he makes peace with that and later gets her back... he just wants a normal life. His greatest wish was for one. He apparenlty “wishes for this every day”. He dosen’t hate adventuering anymore and by season 3 has come to terms with the fact he’ll never get everyone else to stop.. but I also think it’s always been obvious he clearly wants to one day. To have a normal life, settle down, find a girl, and if she wants to get married. Get old , fat and happy. I honestly think that’s the direction the finale’s heading in judging from the previews. I don’t think he’ll ever stop entirely, his family life’s too insane for that.. but he just dosen’t want to keep going forever and Stork, being an immortal hero does. They want diffrent things entirely and that just won’t work. Though that’s also JUST me and if you ship them or have a way around that, feel free. This is just my opinon.
Anyways Donald’s not happy, the kids are confused and Scrooge. has problesm bigger than simply not knowing how to say i’m not into you.... aka Zeus, king of the gods and of all assholes. He was originally supposed to be a swan due to a certian myth.. but they realized since that myth is both really fucked up and really not for children to not do that because why the fuck would you. Point is Zeus in myth is an asshole, a rapist, a cheating husband, and a vengeful, petty dick and that’s with barely any knowledge of Greek Myth on my part. He’s played by Micheal Chiklis whose famous for The Comissh and the Shield.. but whose famous to me for playing the ever loving Blue Eyed thing in the Tim Story Fantastic Four movies.. and honeslty, at least till marvel takes a crack at it soon, is the best screen version of the character. Look the film is flawed and I don’t remember a lot of it.. but his stuff in it just NAILS the character perfectly, at least the first one, and while the look is.. eh, he was the perfect casting. He just wasn’t in the right movie. So he’s naturally awesome here as history’s greatest douchebag.
As for why Zeus is pissed at him unlike say Donald (The whole Spear of Selene fiasco) or Magica (Who while even worse than Zeus still lost her brother because of his callousness), or others he’s wronged.. Scrooge did absolutely nothing wrong here. During a beach party Storkules intiates, he reveals he used to be king of the beach and loved and worshipped by the people of ithaquack, which last time the adult ducks visited was a lovely hideaway for heroes. Scrooge naturally did a bunch of heroic and cool stuff, and upstaged him, and then bested him in various games and what not. Zeus claims they ran off because of this and because they didn’t want to party with a god bested by a mortal.. but scrooge reveals pottery showing it’s because Zeus threw a temper tantrum aka “a year long lightning storm”. So yeah for once all Scrooge did was just upstage someone who was already objectively horrible and who brought all of htis on himself. Scrooge even points it out perfectly “They didn’t leave because they liked me, they left because they didn’t like YOU. “
Pissing off the god who already didn’t like you for stupid reason goes about how you’d expect and when Storkules tries to cool things down by suggesting a game, Zeus turns it into a contest. His son against Scrooge’s nephews. Because he uh dosen’t want to lower himself. Yeah that’s it, totally not that Scrooge would kick his ass and then fucking kick his ass. Yeah that’s the ticket.
So our boys don Toga’s, and gear up for the first challenge: grabbing the bag of winds. In case you thought Spongebob just made that up. Zeus of course opens it so Donald can’t just leave, but Huey simply thinks his way out and wins , Zeus demands best 2/3 and we soon get a montage of various events from chariot racing to sculpture where we get our title picture, lest you thought I was kidding abotu Storkules obession with donald. I mean there’s subtextually having a character have a crush on another and then ther’es making a naked muscular statue of him. I.. I don’t even have a joke here. He made a naked muscular statue of Donald. The only way they could be less obvious without just coming outright and saying it was if hte statue was of hima nd storkules making out. And i’m 100% sure Frank, Matt and Dana, yes Dana Terrace was involved in this one i’m as unsurpised as you are, only didn’t do that because Disney said no.
Zeus declares one final round because he’s tired of this..e ven though he CLEARLY won the last one while Donald once again tries to just leave and Storkules finally calls him on it wondering why he’s given up adventuring and wondering what della would say if she could see him like this, having just given up and not caring anymore about any of ths stuff. “Well she can’t! Someone always gets hurt....”
And that one very sharp and painful line both outlines Donald’s arc here, and for the season, and makes it VERY clear why he retired and why I felt like he was already on his way and the spear of selene was simply the final straw. He gave up.. because he was just tired of it. Tired of being the one who got hurt.. and devistated when it wasn’t him that time. When he lost his sister for what he felt was NOTHING. Sure hte stars would be great but they’d done everything and gone everywhere..w asn’t.. wasn’t that enough/ Couldn’t they just be done? Couldn’t he just stop. The spear gave him an excuse to do what he always wanted, but it also caused him to harden up and view EVERYTHING about his old days of adventuring as bad when like most things i’ts not that simple., There were good times, sunshine, giant sized gay men obessing over you.. okay maybe the last part isn’t a plus in his book, but point is there was good and his arc is seeing that and realizing he can’t just cling to his pain. He has to let go so he can move on heathliy.
As for said final challenge Zeus tasks the boys and Storkules with stealing the golden fleece from a little girl. While this is part of a whole scheme... he undereistmaed his son’s valour and Storkules is naturally sent spinning over having to steal from a child and is sent into a crisis. Louie however has no such qualms, as he is a children.. and he’s also louie.. but as he tries to the child starts singing. As Scrooge puts it “nothing good happens when creepy children start singing. “ Very true, it’s usually a sign freddy kruger’s about to show up or your about to be taken by a miltiary orginzation obssed with The Doctor.
The boys plug their ears.. and Zeus’ plan becomes horrifically clear. Turns out he had no real interest in an actual contest this time, and has the child take control of Storkules to murder them. And gives the doucheist shrug imaginable when his OWN SON IS BEGGING HIM NOT TO MAKE HIM MURDER SOME CHILDREN.
Scrooge naturally gets involved. Meanwhile Donald is trying to escape the lightning cage Zeus is using to make sure no one leaves... when he hears the boys cries of terror. He may hate this kind of thing.. but there’s one thing and only one thing that can make him snap back into who he used to be like it was yesterday. And that’s harming his boys. So Donald snaps into action and it’s a glory to see as Scrooge snaps back with him “Just like old times”. The two once again get a little closer to reconclisation by wrestling a golden pansexual to prevent him from brainwashdely murdering two children. God I love this show and this job.
Huey however is more of the aim for the head sort and Louie simply uses his natural talent to talk the siren into working with him, with him as her agent. As he puts it Zeus just wants to use her.. he wants to use her too.. but to make them BOTH rich. She agrees, Louie wins, and Donald finally accepts storkules is his friend. Scrooge TRIES to use this to mend fences with Zeus.. but Zeus being a petulant dick wants another game and Scrooge simply throws a game of billiards or something like it to get this over with.
So we get our wrapup. Dewey and Webby return, and Storkules and Donald say their goodbyes. Donald finally admits he’s his friend.. and in that one act finally admits he can’t just bury his past because parts of it are painful. And as Storkules puts it he may be done with adventure.. btu adventure’s not done with him. He’s got more of his old self in who he is now than he thought. Dewey also accidently wins and our family finds launchpad took the plane apart. There.. there’s no real ending. I can only assume Selene said knock this shit off when she found out or beakly later came in guns blazing. I don’t know.
Final Thoughts: This episode is excellent. It has it’s fault: there’s no plot progression, and the ending is just stupid and is the only one of the series that feels like nothing was resolved. That being said.. the rest of the episode makes up for it. It’s filled with great gags as usual.. but the real meat is the character work. Dewey’s worries about his mom, and Donald’s attempt to literally leave his past behind, it’s really amazing stuff that elevates the episode past it’s flaws and into one fo the series best. Wheras revisting Other Bin reminded me it had a bad subplot that drug it down.. revisiting this one showed me just HOW near perfect it is with only a few things holding it back. Even with the dispaoitnment factor.. this one’s still excellent, with Ben, Kate and Tony all at the top of their games. Great stuff.
Next Time on this Arc: Dewey has to face the future when the truth comes out. And Scrooge.. bitches with his dad for half the episode. Sure beats his dad sadly btu sweetly passing on to be with his wife huh?!
Next time on this blog: Amphibia time! Speaking of facing the consequences of lying to your family, Hop Pop’s FINALLY forced to face hiding the Box from Anne, and we also get an ivy episode. Super fuckin shooters.
If you liked this review, consdier joining my patreon, link’s in the blog and next stretchgoal is a darkwing duck episode a month. Until the next rainbow it’s been a pleasure.

Dabi, mirio, bakugo, todoroki and Kirishima
Ok, this is the fluffiest of the fluff so many uwus cuteness overload. Since I know your speciality love, heart flutters, and smiles my requested bday gift. 💑 ⛪ 🎩 👰💋👨💼🎊🎎🎎🎎
Marriage proposal! That's my request 🥺😘 may I please have you write how each boy would propose to their SO 🙇🏽♂️🙇🏽♂️🙇🏽♂️ tysm😚
(Omg omg omg YES! I'm so so so so sorry this is late, I tried to get this done by your b-day, lovely, I swear! Forgive meeeeee! 😭)
MHA Proposals
Warning: Little bit of language
Katsuki Bakugo
First, we start with the Boom-Boom Tsundere.....
Now, as my various fellow writers have written about our favorite Explosion Boy, he's not too interested in dating... Unless he wants a long term relationship
The two of you met back in your first year of U.A., and though things had started off rocky between the two of you, you ended up being the closest of Bakugo's friends beside Kirishima
The summer before your second year at U.A., the two of you hung out more and Bakugo asked you out within a month of the first day of your second year
Ever since that day, you two were the power couple of U.A., inseparable on and off the battlefield
He wanted to spend the rest of his life with you, hell, he knew it while the two of you were just friends.
He planned everything out the proposal for at least 2 months, even swallowing his pride and asking his friends for help.... Yeah, Mina lost it when he told her, she was so excited
So, on the night of your anniversary, he cooked a special candle lit dinner, got dressed up nice and had a bouquet of roses waiting for you when you came over
The entire night, he was the gentleman he'd always been with you, but added a kiss to your temple as he pulled out a chair for you, a kiss to the top of your hand for a split second during dinner... He spoiled you with affection
Once the both of you had eaten to your heart's content, he took both of your hands in his.
"Baby, I know I'm not the easiest to deal with. God knows my temper gets out of control sometimes... But, I'd be damned if I ever said that you didn't make me want to be a better man. You've known me since our first year at U.A., and our first meeting seems like it was only yesterday. Back then, if anyone had told me I'd have the most amazing, smart and hot s/o by my side for 3 years... I'd have yelled my lungs out and called them crazy. But," he gently squeezed your hands, his touch tender. "Baby, I wouldn't trade the last 3 years for anything. I love you with all my heart, as cheesy as it sounds, and the last 3 years have been the best of my life, and..." He got up and walked to your side before retaking your hand. "I don't want that to ever stop."
He got down on one knee and pulled out the ring, looking up at you with the most tender, loving expression on his face while you were ready to start crying. "Y/N, love of my life, will you marry me?"
Through tears of joy, you said yes. He pulled you into a hug before putting the ring on your finger and kissing you
Shouto Todoroki
Like Bakugo, Todoroki had met you his first year at U.A.....
Unlike Bakugo, the two of you met in the U.A. Sports Festival that year
Your spitfire nature intrigued him, and because of this, he was drawn to you like a moth to a flame
Overtime, the two of you became friends, and by the end of the year, he started to experience something he'd never felt before...
He didn't figure out what the feeling exactly was until he told his mother about you and what he felt while he was around you. She was the one who told him he had a crush on you... And demanded that he bring you to meet her once he had asked you out
So, second year of U.A. comes, and so begins the attempts at asking you out, all of which failed....
His last resort?
He caught a bunch of guys eyeing you lustfully, and he didn't like the way you were visibly uncomfortable.... So, he did the kabedon on you before the boys could do anything. He glared at the boys out of the corner of his eye
Thankfully, the creeps took the hint and ran for it, and Todoroki used the opportunity to ask you out
The rest is dating history....
Fast forward 2 years... You've met his mother and siblings (all of whom loved you).... It did take Endeavour a bit to get used to you, but a year after the two of you started dating, Todoroki had stood up to him for you.
Anyways, the night of your 3rd anniversary, he called Midoriya and Iida... Panicking a bit because he had gotten the ring, but had no plan for the proposal
Midoriya calmed him down and gave him some advice along with Iida
When you came home, you found dinner ready and a note next to your plate
The scavenger hunt led you to the various date spots the two of you had been to until you had reached the spot that Todoroki had taken you on your first date
On that little hill, standing there patiently waiting for you
When he saw you, the tender smile he'd always had around you crossed his face
In his hand was a half white, half red rose, which he gave to you as he greeted you
A picnic dinner was waiting for the two of you, so the two of you sat down together and ate while watching the sunset
The two of you talked and stargazed together
"My love, do you recognize any constellations?" He had asked you
You replied that you didn't (or did and named the few you could name XD)
He moved a little closer as he asked, "Would you like to know what I see?"
Curious, you nodded, but you were blindsided when he pulled out the ring
"All I see is the two of us together. I'm a better man thanks to you, my love, and I don't want to miss a second of it. But, this ring isn't to pressure you. If you're not ready to get married, I'll wait as long as it takes because I love you with all that I am."
You teared up at his tender words and tone and told him that you were ready
He smiled with tears of joy in his own eyes and kissed you tenderly before putting the ring on your finger before he held you. "I promise you, my love, I'll take good care of you."
Eijirou Kirishima
So, even though the two of you both went to U.A., the two of you actually met a couple weeks before school started
Ejirou had been jogging in the park when he first saw you
He had been too shy to say anything, but that first smile from you meant the world to him
That day, you had approached him and the two of you jogged together while talking
A few months into your first year at U.A., he started developing a crush on you
Halfway through the first year is when he finally asked you out
The two of you have been inseparable ever since that day
Kirishima loves the hell out of you, and he loves making you smile or laugh anytime
Back hugs are a definite with this shark toothed sweetheart UwU
Fast forward to a few years later, the two of you are living together and everyday is wonderful for Kirishima
Two months before your anniversary, he planned everything to take things to the next level with you
When you walk in, you're both surprised and touched to see dinner waiting on the table and Kirishima covered in head to toe with what looks like flour with a shark toothed grin on his face
"Happy anniversary, baby." He told you, opening his arms for you.
You giggle and hug him, both of you laughing when you realized you know had flour on you
After a quick shower and changing into comfortable clothes (meaning one of Kirishima's T shirts and a pair of sweatpants for you), the two of you ate dinner and talked about your day.
"Hey, baby, I've got a question for you." He told you. You tipped your head to one side, encouraging him to continue
You watched him take a deep breath before he took your hand, holding it tenderly in his. "I know, this isn't exactly fancy, but I couldn't think of any better way. You deserve the world, baby, and..." He came around to your side and got down on one knee. "I hope I'm the lucky bastard who gets to give it to you. I don't have a ring right now, but damn, I love you so much, and not a day goes by where the thought of you makes me smile and want to be a better hero and a better man. So, if you'll have me, ring or no ring, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife and marry me?" He asked.
Smiling through tears of joy, you nodded in response
Kirishima grinned and hugged you. "We can go pick out a ring together. I want it to be perfect for you." He covered your face with kisses until he heard that adorable laugh he loved so much.
Mirio Togata
That brings us to the sunshine of the Big 3... Mirio
You better believe this boy was head over heels for you when he met you
The two of you met in junior high, and you encouraged him to keep training with his quirk, believing in him
By your first year at U.A., the two of you had grown closer together, and Tamaki pointed out to Mirio that he had a crush on you
Halfway through your first year of U.A., he asked you out and the rest is history
You were there for him through everything, being his cheerleader
When Eri entered your lives, you (of course) welcomed her with open arms, spending time with her and Mirio
The first time Eri called you "Big Sister", it had surprised you, but you were touched by her words.
Fast forward a couple years....
The two of you are living together, and everyday with Mirio means the world to you, just like it means the world to him
Which is why, while you at work, he bought a ring for you and set up his plan to propose (Eri helped him pick the ring out ^.^)
When you got home, you found a note from Mirio telling you to meet him at the park, but nothing could prepare you for what was waiting for you.
The moment he saw you coming, he began to play the acoustic guitar you had given him...
As you reached the beginning of a trail of candles, 'I Love You Too Much' by Diego Luna filled your ears, but when you looked up, you saw your boyfriend, smiling warmly as he played the guitar and sang to you as you walked toward him
When you reached him, he got down on one knee as he sang the last line
You covered your mouth and he smiled as he brought out the ring. "Y/N, sunshine of my life, will you marry me?"
Through tears of joy, you accepted and the two of you automatically embraced before kissing as he placed the ring on your finger
Dabi
That brings us to Dabi....
Excuse my language right now, but this motherfucker.... He loved teasing you when you first joined the League, mainly because it annoyed you plus it was fun for him
But, the first time you barked at him to knock off his shit... He'd be lying if he said it didn't do something to him....
A few months later, the two of you were put on a mission together, and you saw just how serious he was on the front line, including his tsundere ways of keeping you safe when it called for it
About a year after you first joined, Toga (nearly getting burned in the process) told you that Dabi had a big fat crush on you before Dabi chased her for telling you, then trying to deny it
He did give up trying to deny it after a while and finally confessed, surprised when you actually returned how he felt
Fast forward 2 years....
You two: living together, an inseparable pair of troublemakers
There wasn't really any plan after almost 3 years of being together, Dabi just ended up getting some candy hearts on Valentine's Day and gave you one that said, 'Marry Me'. When you looked up from it, you found him in front of you, down on one knee to show you that he was dead serious
"Doll, will you be my eternal partner in crime?" He had asked
Your reply? It was a no duh.
He chuckled and kissed you (he went out later and stole a ring you liked)
What can I say? That flame bastard would do anything for you

More Family Context
So my last post about my oldest stepson and daughter-in-law expecting made me realize that I have never really talked about my stepsons on here before, even though my boyfriend/partner and I have been together for almost 7 years? So I figured I’d do a post about that. Sorry in advance for this - there’s a lot of drama involved, unfortunately.
CW: divorce, custody issues, homophobia/biphobia, manipulation, abuse, parental alienation
Also, obligatory disclaimer that I do not give permission to ANYONE to share this story without my express consent. (I’m doing this because I’ve seen personal stories get shared from Reddit onto YouTube and whatnot and I really do not want that to happen here.)
Looooooooooong, looooooooong post.
...
...
...
...
Years ago, long before I even met my dude, he went through a supremely nasty divorce. His sons with his ex-wife were very small at the time (youngest son was still just a baby/toddler). There was a lot of emotional and verbal abuse on her end. He didn’t talk about it much because he didn’t think anyone would believe him.
Things gradually got worse instead of better after the divorce, unfortunately. As soon as she found out that he had started dating men after the divorce, she began spreading rumors among their mutual friends/acquaintances that he had always been gay (he’s bi), that he had never loved her (he had), and that she had just been a beard for him and this was why they had gotten divorced (it was actually because he had stuck it out for as long as possible and couldn’t handle her abuse any longer). She got very weird about him dating men - like, ultra-homophobic, ridiculous, “I don’t want my sons being molested by your gay boyfriends because I think all/most gay men are secretly pedophiles” weird. She began refusing to let the boys come over to his place as long as he was in a relationship with a man. “If you date women instead, I’ll consider it.”
In hindsight, he absolutely could have fought this in court because they had joint custody and there was no way she should have been able to do this and get away with it. Unfortunately, the state we live in has always been extraordinarily conservative and this was the early-to-mid 2000s, and he worried that he would face additional homophobia/biphobia in court. He also worried that fighting her over anything in court would make everything exponentially worse for both him and the kids. So he just let it go and saw the boys at her place or a neutral location whenever he could.
Eventually he moved out of state to try to make more money. His ex-wife remarried and, almost immediately, she and her new husband began harassing him about giving up his parental rights so that her new husband could adopt the boys and they could “have a real dad”. He was obviously not okay with this, but the manipulation went on for two years. At one point he ran into some temporary difficulty paying child support, and she jumped on this as “proof” that he was a terrible deadbeat dad who didn’t deserve his children.
So finally, after years of his anxiety and depression being exploited by his ex-wife, he finally began thinking that maybe his boys would actually be better off without him, that they’d be better off with a “real family” with a dad who was married to their mom. He drove back to home state and signed away his rights, and it was, he’s told me, the absolute worst day of his life.
She didn’t bother to show up to the hearing where he signed the papers. He found out shortly afterward (and this almost sounds like a bad movie plot, but it’s true) that she had recently divorced the man who was supposed to adopt the boys and hadn’t bothered to inform him of this fact.
She refused to let him see or contact the boys in any way after he signed the papers, and legally, there was no longer anything he could possibly do about it. He attempted to contact them through her quite a few times, but always in vain and he eventually stopped trying because it was too painful. She eventually remarried again and this time her new husband actually did adopt the boys.
Years went by. He and I met and started dating. He told me about the boys on our first date, when I told him I had kids and asked if he had any. “Yes...and also no,” was his somber response. He was...remarkably restrained while talking about his ex-wife that first time. “She’s a strong woman,” he said, “and I hope she’s been a good mom.” I only learned later how abusive she had actually been to him. He sort of...handwaved a lot of it, even when he did tell me. I actually had to tell him “that was abuse. She abused you. Like...hardcore.”
I asked if he ever thought about contacting the kids after they turned 18. He said he definitely wanted to, but he was sort of scared about it.
Fast forward to about 2 1/2 years ago. His oldest son was over 18 now. He was contacted by his oldest son’s girlfriend on Facebook. The message was something along the lines of “Hi, are you [son’s] biological dad? [Son’s mom] and [son] told me some stuff about you, and I thought I’d find you and talk to you about it, because a lot of it seemed really...off. [Son’s mom] said that you were gay and that this was why you divorced [son’s mom] and that after you signed the papers you didn’t want anything to do with the kids, that you never wanted to call or talk to them or anything, and [son] totally believes this because that’s what she’s been telling him his whole life. That seemed weird to me though and I wanted to find out the truth.”
He told her the truth. She was sort of floored, but not overly surprised, because she’d had her own emotionally abusive run-ins with her eventual mother-in-law. There were a lot of conversations over the course of the next year, a lot of her trying to convince oldest son to talk to his bio dad and a lot of resistance from oldest son because of everything he had been raised to believe by his mother. My partner wrote his oldest son a long message at one point explaining some things and telling him how much he loved him while trying to stay as neutral as possible about his ex-wife/son’s mom in order not to stir too much up. Total radio silence from oldest son. We kind of accepted at this point that we might not hear from him for a long time (if ever). Still, partner was still in contact with oldest son’s gf (who at that point had become oldest son’s fiancee), and she and oldest son got married last year. She apologized that they didn’t invite us to the wedding; there was still a lot of hostile awkwardness on oldest son’s part. We understood, and didn’t fault them for it at all.
Finally, a few months after they’d been married, DIL (daughter-in-law) said she wanted to come over, and we agreed. Unexpectedly, she brought oldest son with her, having finally convinced him to come at the last minute. Oldest son was super polite to both of us, and to my kids, but we found out much later he actually felt super awkward and angry and was just hiding it really well. Fortunately after repeated visits he realized his bio dad was a pretty cool guy and that his mom was, to get right to the point, full of shit. There’s been a lot that we’ve found out from oldest son about his mom’s behavior over the years, which is really unfortunate and honestly backs up everything my partner told me. We thankfully have a great relationship with oldest son and DIL now.
Youngest son is now 18 as well (almost 19) but, unfortunately, has much the same outlook as oldest son once did and currently wants nothing to do with his bio dad. However, oldest son and youngest son recently went on a roadtrip together and had a very long talk about the whole thing, and youngest son apparently got sort of thoughtful. We’re hopeful that he will eventually come around too.
Hopefully none of this has sounded like some kind of weird misogyny on my part while talking about my partner’s ex-wife. I just...have zero tolerance for bullies and abusers and she honestly blows my mind. I wanted to believe for a long time that a) there are two sides to every story and the truth of this particular situation possibly lay somewhere in the middle, and b) that maybe she had mellowed over the years and maybe felt at least a twinge remorseful and cooperative about things, but according to oldest son, that is absolutely not the case. She is still holding on to a lot of anger and bitterness and insecurities from her own abusive childhood and she constantly projects those insecurities onto people she’s supposed to love and care for, including her children. She was apparently livid when she found out that oldest son had cultivated a relationship with his bio-dad, because her carefully-constructed narrative of “the father of my oldest children was a terrible person who never wanted his kids” was suddenly in serious jeopardy. DIL has overheard her shit-talking the situation to friends, and oldest son has gotten more than one earful of “how could you do this to meeeeee, I raised you and protected you” which is just...ARGH. (On the flip side, she apparently got this shocked Pikachu face when oldest son told her about me - a woman, in a loving, long-term relationship with the man that for years has been the subject of her “he divorced me because he isn’t into women” narrative. That gave me a really good laugh!)
Anyway, that is the saga of my bonus sons and their unfortunate alienation from my partner/their bio dad, and the reason I wasn’t able to help raise them in their teens (I so wish I could have). I love them and my DIL so much, more than I honestly ever thought possible to love kids who aren’t “mine”, but like...they are. They’re my kids as much as my bio kids are. I felt that way long before I met them. My bonus sons are part of my partner, part of his heart, so they became my kids in my head immediately, and DIL became my kid immediately too. So I love them. It’s automatic for me. And I love my grandbaby-on-the-way with all my heart too and I can’t wait to meet that sweet little bean.

♦Story: Jung Jaehyun is infamous for being a man whore from the most famous frat in your uni with the most concentration of fuck boys. You’re Miss Congeniality, well-liked by everyone, from the Dean to the gardener of your uni, and a friend of all the cliques. Jung Jaehyun included.
Note: This was requested! Sex on a pool table with Jung Jaehyunzzz. Again, this isn’t proofread. Sorry hehe. Also I suck at summaries so u just gotta read it to know what it’s about skskss. Thank you and enjoy! I’d love to hear your thoughts on this! :) Talk to meeeeee chingoose~
Everyone knew Jung Jaehyun whored around. He’d show up with a new girl in his arms every other day but that didn’t stop the girls from coming onto him, even after he dumps them after he gets bored. Usually, a week would be a long one for him so after you had asked him out and somehow made him say yes, but no one had actually expected you to last more than 2 weeks with him. Even the guys in his frat were surprised too.
And now that you were going straight to the 2nd month of dating the infamous Jung Jaehyun, everyone looked at you differently. They treated you differently too. You used to blend into the background but now that you were amongst the likes of Jaehyun, you had changed your style and appearance to suit your new crowd. Your usual comfy boxy shirts, mom jeans and sneakers were replaced with spaghetti straps, miniskirts and heels.
And that was how you ended up in the basement of Jaehyun’s frat house, on your knees, sucking Jaehyun’s dick as he gripped the edge of the pool table behind him. The basement was strictly for frat members only as it was a game-slash-hang out room for the guys. The party upstairs was on full blast that you could still hear the heavy bass of the EDM song they were playing upstairs.
“That’s it,” he watches you with half lidded eyes as you slowly take his cock deeper down your throat, his hands on the back of your head, controlling your pace, “take it like the good girl you are.”
You whimper in panic as your throat tightens up around his head, making him moan but all you knew was you had to breathe. You squeeze his thighs, signaling to him that you couldn’t take him deeper but he doesn’t let go of your head, but instead pushes you closer, making his dick push deeper into you until a few inches of his cock was left uncovered.
You gag around his cock, hot tears flooding your ducts as you resort to banging your fists against his thighs. You close your eyes, gagging as the need for air kicks in again.
“Shit, y/n,” he hisses before he pulls off your head away from him, thick ropes of spit connecting his cock and your mouth trailing down your chin as you cough, gasping for air. “I just wanted to see how long you could hold your air, sweet cheeks.” He smirks as he breathes in the sight of you on your knees, eyes glossy, mouth swollen and hair disheveled.
You nod, fisting the material of your dress against your thigh. You couldn’t say you hated what he did. And you were too under his control to deny whatever he wanted to do with you. It was kind of the deal when you started dating him.
Without a word, he grabs the back of your head, using his other hand to fist his cock, leisurely jacking himself off. He pushes your head closer to his crotch and like an automatic response, you open your mouth, close your eyes and spread your tongue in the process so he could slide in easy.
You don’t feel the heaviness of cock in your tongue but on your top lip instead. He gives you a sweet smile, caressing your hair. “Close your mouth, sweetheart.” You follow his words and he drags the head of his cock on your lower lip, spreading his pre-cum mixed with your spit around like he was applying lipstick on you.
After he was done with your lips, he had started to caress your cheeks with the length of his cock. Your cheeks were wet and sticky now, messing your make up but he knew you loved it when he did that. He was biting his lips and you knew he was breathing shallow by the way his chest was moving with every breath he took.
You could feel your arousal running down your inner thighs and you were so sure that the pretty lilac silk panties you wore for him were ruined. But you didn’t care because he’d take it off anyways.
“Pretty,” he says and you give him a smile, your heart fluttering at his simple words. “I really wanna see how long you can hold your breath, angel. You can hold out longer than earlier, right? I know you can.”
“I can! I can, Jaehyun! I can!” You exclaim with a little too much excitement. He loved to put you to your limit sometimes. And you loved it. Completely.
“Prove it, baby.” He smiles lazily, pushing the hair out of your face with his dry hand. You use your hand to lead his cock to your mouth and slowly ease it inside your mouth until the tip reached your throat, making him hiss. “You’re such a pretty girl, y/n. So pure yet so bold.” He observes, caressing your cheek gently with his knuckles, as if you were a fragile doll.
You start bobbing your head slowly, pulling back until his tip was left in your mouth and pushing forward until his tip reached the back of your throat, making you gag a little every time. He loved how you looked up at him with those innocent eyes but take in the whole of his cock. He wasn’t an easy length to take it and all the girls knew. That was also one of the things he was famous for.
You knew that fact as well and had the shock of your life when you first saw it. Jaehyun thought it was amazing how hard you worked for him, giddy when he had told you that you took him so well unlike the other girls. Shallow as that may sound, you didn’t want to be another notch on Jung Jaehyun’s belt. You wanted to be remembered and you’d take the title of the only one who could take his whole cock in.
Jaehyun visibly shivered when you licked the underside of his cock as you kept him down your throat, hands palming his balls. “Shit, shit,” he groaned, biting his lips. He watches you as you unsheathe his cock out of your mouth and use your left hand, jacking him off and lifting his dick. You duck your head, going lower and started sucking on his balls, balancing yourself with your your free hand on his hips.
“God, you’re so good at this,” he chuckles, breathing growing shallow with every swipe of your tongue on the sensitive skin of his balls. You let go of his hip and start fondling his balls, making him grunt deeply. You loved hearing his sounds and the mere thought of you making him feel THIS good was enough for you to get yourself horny. You loved serving him in any way you could.
“Show me how long you can hold your breath, baby,” he purrs, looking at you with his half lidded, lust blown eyes. He was petting your head gently as if he was telling you how such a good girl you were for him.
You let go of his nut with a pop, making him inhale sharply as you gently blow air on it, sending shivers up his spine. You lock your eyes with him as you level the head of his cock on your mouth, taking a deep breath in the process.
Slowly, you push your head forward, his hot and velvety cock sliding down your tongue and eventually the tip reaching your throat, making you slow down a bit, relaxing yourself as you feel your eyes prickle with tears. You close your eyes, taking in little breaths through your nose to calm yourself further. You squeeze your thumb in your fist tight, helping with the gagging as proven from times before.
“Take your time, sweetheart,” he whispers, loving the warmth and texture your mouth offered for him. You were so, so good for him and he couldn’t ask for more.
Once you find yourself relaxed and ready to take on more of his length, you push your head forward. Slowly but surely. It wasn’t easy though. It never is easy even though you’ve done it more times you could count. You close your eyes tightly as you push yourself one last time, taking the whole of his cock down your throat until your nose was squished against his belly, your top lip prickled by his trimmed pubes.
Jaehyun starts to count, slowly, much to your dismay but you focus on holding your breath, clearing your mind and trying to relax as you close your eyes. You didn’t feel the hot tears sliding down your cheeks until you felt Jaehyun brush them away with his thumbs, echoes of what sounds like his voice telling you how much of a good girl you were or something like that. You didn’t know.
Jaehyun took the sign of your eyes fluttering and your throat closing up tighter around him as a sign that you were losing hold of your air. “Fuck, shit,” he pushes your head back, hands cradling your head as the separation of his cock from your mouth produced a loud, filthy, wet squelch.
You find yourself sitting on the floor, hand clutching your barely covered chest as you cough, sputtering, as strings of spit escape your mouth as you gasp for air. You didn’t know how long you were holding your breath but the pain in your chest and your light headedness gave you an idea that you held it pretty long.
“H-how long?” You ask shakily, trying to restore the breath in your lungs by taking in big breaths.
Jaehyun smirks and chuckles, “I lost count after 12, to be honest. Maybe we should use a timer next time, yeah?” He teases you and you roll your eyes at him, making him release his big, belly laugh. The basement used to be a shelter and the walls were bouncy so his laugh resounded through the room. “You good?”
You nod, finding yourself smiling as he laughed. His laughter was one of the things you adored about him. You look up at him, as he sat, perched on the edge of the pool table. His shirt was lifted up, giving you a peek of his tight stomach, the front of his jeans and boxers pushed down and his cock—hard, red and leaking, was on full display.
“How about you let me fuck your mouth and I’ll give you a reward after?” He asks, the playfulness overtaken by mischievousness and lust in his voice.
Your breathing was back to normal now, despite the slight ache in your throat but you decided that would be dealt with tomorrow. “Ok,” you nod as you get on your knees again and sit upright as he get down from the table, spreading his legs comfortably.
Soon, his cock was inside your mouth again as he thrusts shallowly and slowly, setting up his pace and giving you preparation before he went crazy on you. Once again, his hands were cradling your head to keep your head anchored and your arms looped around his thighs.
This was one of the handful times where you actually take in the whole of his length so he was gonna take advantage of the stretch he gave you tonight and fuck your face for all your worth.
“Damn, y/n. I fucking love your mouth,” he moans, bucking his hips, watching half of his length get swallowed by your mouth. “When you’re presenting in class,” thrust. “When you’re annoying me and nagging like Doyoung hyung,” thrust. “And especially when you let me fuck your mouth like this.” He chuckles as he looks up at the roof and closes his eyes, feeling the familiar heat pooling in his belly.
He snaps his hips faster, depth perception off as he chases for his orgasm. You gag with every snap of his hips, knowing full well he was deep into pleasure to know he was giving you more cock than he should have.
With a loud grunt and whine, Jaehyun finally cums, leaving his hot cum at the back of your tongue, letting it spurt out until it filled your mouth. He pulls back, watching as the warm, salty liquid escapes the crevices of your mouth and spills down your chin, covering the trails of dried spit on your chin.
Using your finger, you scoop the dripping cum from your chin and into your mouth again, sucking on your finger.
“You’re so hot,” he speaks, dazed at your actions. “Don’t swallow it yet. Just keep it there.”
You keep your mouth open, despite the ache in your jaw as you gave him a nod, careful not to let the cum spill out.
He pulls you up to your feet and you almost lose your balance as you’ve been kneeling on the floor longer than you’d like to admit. He spins you, with you now pressed against the pool table, eyeing your disheveled but stunning appearance. Your eyes were half lidded, face matted with dried spit and tears, lips sore and red, mouth full of his milky cum and neck littered with blooming hickies down to your chest. The straps of your dress draped down your shoulders, exposing your breasts with more hickies and sore nipples from him sucking on it earlier. You were beautiful. So beautiful. He couldn’t wait to see you fucked out and delirious for him.
Jaehyun pulls up the ends of your dress, letting him see your silk underwear and the dripping wetness down your inner thighs. You were so horny that you could feel your pussy throbbing. “Don’t let my cum drip or I won’t let you cum,” he warns before he kisses your neck, then down to your breasts ad he slips his hand down your underwear, making you sigh in relief as his fingers finally touched your tingling clit.
He sucks on your nipple as he slowly rubs on your clit, making you buck and whine, but he continues to rub on it, gauging your reaction. You grab onto his shoulders as he moves onto the other nipple, sucking with same intensity while his fingers move deeper, his middle finger tracing your wet slit. “You’re fucking soaking, y/n.”
You tried to speak but it ends up being a gargling sound so you close your mouth instead and buck your hips, trying to grind yourself against his fingers. He always said he wasn’t cruel so he pulls off from your nipples and pulls down your underwear until they were down the floor. He helps you step out of them and spreads your legs slightly for easier access.
Right away, his mouth finds itself attached to your nipples and his fingers inside you, sliding in easy with your excessive wetness. His pace was slow and gentle, scissoring his fingers inside of you to prepare you as if his dick hasn’t been inside you. He took preparation very seriously, especially with his size.
He adds another finger, pressing kisses against your sore nipples before he moves down, giving your stomach open mouthed kisses that leaves a trail of warmth inside of you. In the short time you’ve been together, you fairly got to know each other’s body, especially him. He was a very attentive lover and he even discovered new places you never thought would bring you pleasure.
Jaehyun lifts your left leg with his left hand, propping it up on the top of the pool table as he gets on his knees in front of you, fingers never stopping on fucking you. He looks up at your pussy, all exposed for him, and the stretch of your leg propped up gave him a pretty good view of your hole being fucked open by his fingers.
“Beautiful,” he whispers as he watches his 3 fingers disappear inside your cunt and come out with your juices as he uses the tips of his fingers with his free hand to spread your pussy lips, giving him a full view of your pink pussy and stuffed hole. He uses his thumb to rub at your clit upwards, like he was tickling it and eventually, gently flicking at it. The pleasure you were feeling was starting to be unbearable but frustrating as he was purposely missing the spot that made you see stars just to tease you.
You pant, looking at the beautiful man kneeling in front of you and in between your legs, watching your pussy like it’s the most interesting thing in the world. You grunt as you buck your hips, trying to take him deeper and try to let his finger brush on your spot but to no avail. He pushes down on your belly, locking you against the table and him, with no space to move.
Despite him missing your sweet spot, your orgasm quickly comes, aided by his constant torturous rubbing on your clit with his thumb that has you moaning and whining. You feel your legs trembling as the pleasure surges through your body but suddenly his mouth is on your clit, sucking and gliding his tongue on it and his fingers prod at your sweet spot, making you squeal as your orgasm takes over your body.
You clutch on his hair as your eyes roll back at the pleasure he’s giving you but he doesn’t stop. Not even when your orgasm has subsided and you’re twitching in overstimulation. He stands up again but his fingers never stop and you can’t do anything but grab onto the edge of the pool table behind you. Your legs shake violently than before that your knees buckle, making you lose your balance. He catches you with his left arm around your waist and his fingers now deeper inside your spasming walls as you cum again for him.
He pulls his fingers out of you and carries you up the pool table, your sensitive pussy grazing against the felt texture of the table, making you whine. He kisses you, shoving his tongue down your throat and swiping for a taste of his cum that you had unknowingly swallowed in the bouts of your earlier orgasm. He licks at your chin, drinking in whatever was left of his cum that dripped down earlier and capturing your mouth again with his.
You wrap your arms around his neck and your legs around his waist, pulling him closer as the two of you engage in a hungry, passionate and almost primal kiss that takes your breath away. The thing about Jaehyun is, he kisses you like it’s the last time he’s kissing you. It’s raw and it makes you feel lightheaded.
You both pull away, both out of breath, foreheads sticking to each other, eyes locked. He looks down, pulling your ass to the edge of the table as he slips inside of you without a word as you release a long moan as the rest of his length enters you. The height of the table was just perfect, with your crotches on the same level because of his tall height.
He sighs in pleasure when he bottoms out inside you, burying his face into your neck as you pull him close with your arms, planting lazy kisses on his cheek. He lifts your legs and hangs them on the bend of arms as he holds onto your hips.
“Fuck me now, Jae. Fuck me,” you whimper against his ear and he wastes no time and slowly pulls out his cock from inside you until you were left with the tip and pushes into you again, the motion easy because of your wetness. “Oh, baby,” you moan as he starts moving, still slowly, letting you get used to his length as if you’ve never been stuffed full of it. “S-so big.” You moan as he slowly builds up the pace.
“You’re so fucking tight, sweetheart.” He whispers against your cheek, breathing out loud with every snap of his hips against yours. “Your pussy is fucking amazing, y/n.” He groans.You bite your lips as he purposely avoids your g-spit, grazing it just a little bit. You were still so sensitive from your previous orgasm that you could feel the very shape of his cock, down to the veins wrapping around it and how it throbbed when it was inside you. It felt too good to be stuffed full of his cock.
“God, how come your pussy’s still so fucking tight even after all the times I’ve fucked you?” He grins as he steadily thrusts his hips up to yours, watching your tits shake with the sheer force of his fucking into you.
You grab his face, cupping his cheeks as you look into his eyes, but failing to keep focus in his because of the way your eyes would involuntarily roll back with every good thrusts he gives you. “Oh, fuck, fuck,” you grit as you throw your head back.
He chuckles at your reaction then leans forward to kiss your neck, nipping at your sweet spot as he wraps your legs around his hips and pulls you closer to him, allowing him to thrust deeper in to you if it was possible.
You bury your head into his shoulder, closing your eyes as you let your body experience the pure pleasure he was giving you with every thrust of his hips against yours. However, it wasn’t enough. You pull him into a kiss again, sloppy with spit and teeth clashing. You pull away from him, breathless as you pull him close, your foreheads touching.
Jaehyun keeps his eyes locked on you, with his hips never faltering. Being in you felt like heaven. He loved the way your eyes were half lidded and full blown with lust that mirrored his. He wanted you. Always.
The first time you came up to him, he was surprised because people like you kept away from people of the likes of him. You were well liked by people, even the professors and you seemed like a decent person, totally different from the snakes that were in your uni. You were a breath of fresh air. That’s why he was surprised when you confessed you had liked him ever since you met him at freshman orientation. You knew him before he became the Jaehyun he is now. And you still looked and treated him the same with no judgment in your eyes, but rather growing affection.
You were so different. His frat brothers always knew he looked at you differently so they were happy for him when the news of you and Jaehyun broke out in the uni. Taeyong had always insisted you’d be the one to change him and it was true. You were lasting longer than the other girls, he was loyal to you, he kept his promises with you. He probably loved you too. Probably.
You peck his lips, “fuck me harder, Jaehyun. Please.” Jaehyun snaps his hips faster and harder against yours, that you had to hold onto him to keep yourself in place for him. “Harder, please. Harder, baby.”
The thing about you too, is, you could take him and more. That was an added bonus for him. He pulls out of you, making you whine. “Climb up on the table and get on all fours, y/n.” To the people around you, you were sweet, so head strong but with him, you were such a submissive little slut.
You immediately listen to him, and move to the center of the pool table and get on all fours, your ass and pussy on full display for him. Jaehyun gets on the table and kneels behind you, head diving in your folds, tongue licking up in your hole as his hands knead your ass cheeks, smacking the supple flesh.
You moan, burying your face into your hands, almost crying with the way his big hands landed on your bare ass, creating a loud slapping sound that resonated in the room. It was so painful but it added to the pleasure of the way he was tongue fucking all the while.
You feel Jaehyun’s tongue making its way out of your hole and around your lips and eventually on your clit, which he sucks fervently, making you hiss when he grazes his teeth against it. “Jaehyun! No!” You groan when he pulls off of you. “Eat me out, Jae. Please!” You exclaim, pleading as you steady yourself with your arms, looking back at him.
“Be quiet. You don’t wanna hear the people in the party know how you’re being a slut for me, right?” He asks. You swallow, making a noise of agreement. He leans forward, covering your body as his hands wrap around your belly. “Daddy will give you what you want if you’re good, ok? Are you gonna be a good little whore for daddy?” He whispered against your ear as his hands travelled from your waist to your breasts. “Use your words, baby.”
Daddy. Fuck. It was one of the kinks you actively played with him. He was surprised when you had revealed you were heavily into it and he had told you he hadn’t expected for someone like you to be into it. “Y-yes, daddy. I’ll be your good whore.” You could feel his throbbing cock against your wet sex and you wanted nothing but to have it inside you. But you knew once your play had started, you couldn’t ask for anything easily.
He gets up on his knees again and plunges 3 of his fingers in your pussy with no word, surprising you. He immediately fucks you with his fingers hard and fast that you fall forward, face landing on your forearms as he uses his other hand to rub at your clit, fingers never stopping.
“You can’t cum until I say so,” he smiles, planting open mouthed kisses on the sore spots on your ass. You twitch at the contact and your pussy contracts around him.
You bite down on your lower lips, chest heaving as you feel the familiar heat filling your being. You were about to cum. The way he was fucking you open with his fingers and the way he was playing with your clit was so good that you almost feel yourself slipping and giving into the release but you try to hold it in, tears blurring your vision as every second you try to hold it in, the more it gets harder.
Finally, he pulls his fingers out of you and lets go of your clit. You slump down the pool table, sobbing as you hold onto your hair, tugging. You were so fucking frustrated that you hadn’t cum but he made you feel so good that you had no other reaction but to cry and sob loudly.
Jaehyun’s hand lands on your ass again and you whine loudly, still sore from the earlier spanking he gave you. Your ass automatically thrust up at the impact. He caresses the curve of your ass and kneads, now using both hands on both cheeks and you moan, low. He was pressing down on you hard that your sensitive nipples would graze the felt material of the pool table, sending shocks up your spine.
“What do you want, y/n?” Jaehyun asks, spreading your ass cheeks, revealing your tight asshole, wet by your juices. “Should I fuck you here again?” He asks, sucking on his thumb and spitting on your hole before he uses his thumb to spread the spit around your tight hole and eventually, slowly entering his thumb.
“I want you to fuck me, please. Just fuck me.” Your breath hitches with every word. Last night, he had fucked your ass. Hard. And you were still stretched, so you didn’t know why he was being so careful with your ass when he had fucked you up so well there so many times before. At this point, you didn’t care. You just wanted him inside you. Any hole would do as long as he used you and filled you. “Fuck me. Fuck me.”
Jaehyun lifts up your hips, and rubs the head of his cock against your slit, covering his cock with your wetness. He spreads your ass cheeks, spits on your gape and you groan as the head of his cock bumps against your tight entrance. Slowly, he pushes in and you whine, clutching on anything you could hold on to.
Jaehyun knew you weren’t prepped because despite the fact you were still a bit stretched, it would be a pain for you because of his size. As soon as his head was inside, he chuckles, watching how your hole had expanded to take his size. It was amazing. “You’re amazing, baby. You’re so good for me.” He smiles, wiping the sweat that covered the smooth skin of your back.
You whine as he pushes into you, a few inches now buried in you but still a long way to go if he were to bottom out. You try to calm yourself down but the way he stretched you made you gasp for air. “Nggghh, daddy,” you breathe out. “You... you’re... so b-big.”
He grabs the back of your head, and pushes your face down the table, his hand holding you down as he pulls up your ass to the air, cock still inside you. You bite your lip and groan as his cock barely inches forward inside you again. “How about you cum before I fuck you?”
You try to nod but he’s literally holding you down so you could only say yes with your eyes. You lick your dried lips as he starts playing with your clit, just sloppily rubbing on it, as if he wasn’t really trying to please you. You needed more to cum but you’d take everything at this point.
“More?” He asks lazily and you try to nod again. “Ok,” he immediately plunges the same the fingers he used on you earlier and fucks you fast and hard with it, purposely hitting your sweet spot with ever thrust and curl of his long fingers. Jaehyun watches the way your brows furrowed and how the surface below your face had a small puddle of spit and tears.
Jaehyun loved the way you looked so confident and so unassuming with everyone and he also loved the way you were so desperate and fucked out under him. Like you were under the spell of his cock in you. He loved it so much.
“If you don’t cum now then I won’t let you cum after this.” He whispers against your ear, crushing your body with his.
You focus on the pleasure of his fingers fucking you hard and fast, and the way your nipples grazed the pool table with every shift of your body. You were there. Just a little more. Suddenly, Jaehyun starts to fuck into your ass, but never going deeper. Just shallow thrusts, careful, so you don’t get hurt.
You cum with a shriek, your ass and pussy tightening around him as your whole body trembles. “Fuck! Fuck!” He pulled out his fingers out of you and pulled off his dick from your ass as soon as you had hit your high.
He finally lets go of his heavy hand on your head that held you down earlier. “Good?” He asks as he holds your hips in his hands, lifting it up in position so he could fuck you easy.
“Yes, thank you!” You sob, feeling the tears running down the bridge of your nose. He hadn’t gave you time to rest before he slipped his dick into your still throbbing pussy, bottoming out in one thrust.
He wastes no time and immediately fucks you, snapping his hips in a brutal pace, knocking the breath out of your lungs. You had just orgasmed and you barely had time to process everything but you just knew you were being plowed, going higher and higher than before.
The music booming from upstairs was long forgotten. You couldn’t even hear yourself or Jaehyun. You didn’t know your moans had turned to borderline cries and sobs of pleasure and that you were full on crying, just from how good he was giving it you. You couldn’t hear the loud slapping of skin against skin that almost drowned out the bass of the music upstairs and resonated in the room. You couldn’t feel the soreness of your nipples and the pain on your knees for being on it for long. Your head was clouded with so much lust and pleasure that you couldn’t feel your anything except for the brutal fucking your pussy was receiving and the pleasure it brought.
Jaehyun slumped over you, hands wrapping around your waist as he fucks into you, faster and hard than before. He knew you were delirious right now as he was hearing the elongated moans that you subconsciously did when you were in deep, deep pleasure. He loved it and would love to keep you in your high but he just wanted to finally reach his long awaited orgasm. He had given you enough good orgasms so he was dead set on chasing his.
Jaehyun kept his brutal pace as he grabbed on your breasts, massaging it as he used his finger to tweak and pull at your nipples. He kissed your nape, your head and anything that his lips could reach in his position. He was almost coming and he knew you were too.mHe used his free hand to reach down between your thighs and caught your clit with his fingers, rubbing at your slippery nub, making you squeal and tighten around him. He bit his lip as he pushed more into you, now regulating the way he was rubbing at your sensitive clit.
Your thighs start shaking, destabilizing your position, making you drop your hips, with Jaehyun falling with you so his dick went deeper into you at the force and you scream, cumming. The way your pussy was spasming and clutching on his cock which triggered his own orgasm.
Jaehyun groaned as he rode out his orgasm, still thrusting into you, emptying his cum deep inside your pussy. At this point, you were lying on the pool table, boneless, head flying. You couldn’t see clearly and there was this ringing in your ear that wouldn’t seem to leave. You were exhausted, physically but you’ve never felt better. It was like you were so drunk with pleasure.
Jaehyun pulled out and you groan at the feeling of loss. Your pussy clamps at nothing, and out comes his milky cum at the motion. But before it could drip to the ruined felt of the pool table, he catches it with two of his fingers, and dips it inside you, swirling his fingers and spreading his cum on your walls.
He then brings his cum covered fingers to your face, pressing his fingers in your open mouth which was gasping for air. You take it in, as an automatic reaction and lick and suck at his fingers until there wasn’t cum anymore but not that you’d know as you were still deep in your high.
When you finally come back down, you were still on the pool table but your cunt had been wiped clean and your dress had been fixed, but the rest of you screamed that you had just been fucked. Your nipples were painfully sore, as was your pussy. You turn and find Jaehyun who was sitting on the couch facing the pool table, on his phone and smoking.
Jaehyun notices you’re awake and then walks over to you, a beautiful smile adorning his gorgeous face. “So how about round 2 in my room?”
The next day, you and Jaehyun, still deep in sleep, don’t hear Johnny’s screaming about killing whoever had left cum stains on the new pool table their frat had acquired. Poor Lucas was blamed instead.

Wei watches Dark Blue Kiss Ep 1: Who fucking needs continuity anyway
Okay, for context for my title, it requires you to watch this one scene from Kiss the Series from Ep 14 here. Okay? Have you watched it? Now you know the context for my title.
AND ALSO WHAT THE FUCK.
Within the first two minutes of DBK, we are surrounded by the gang, Sandee, Thada, June, Pete, and Kao. Pete is flipping THE FUCK OUT, and Thada and June are asking what Pete and Kao are to each other? Judging by the fact that they are now wearing the kind of Engineering uniform shirts that we’ve seen on older students, presumably they’ve passed the first year and such that happened in KMA and Kiss the series. (Gentle reminder that KMA was a prequel to Kiss the Series as by the time Kiss happened, PeteKao were already a ‘thing.’) SO WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE GANG KNOWING PETEKAO IS A THING?!?!
Also wow, this intro is way too dramatic. I will be skipping for my sanity. But please be advised that it looks like we’re going to deal with three couples in this drama. MorkSun, PeteKao, and one of Sandee’s sisters. I can’t remember her name, but she was the one in Kiss the Series I think. :shrug: Or maybe it’s someone else. IDK.
Then we hit REWIND and start at the proper beginning two months before the drama really kicks in. Good to know the span of DBK is approx 2 months in case someone needs timing for fanfic.
Pete walks around the pool. Ladies swoon. I laugh internally because they’re still selling Pete as this guy everyone wants and I know deep down inside that he’s based on Tay Tawan and that he’s a fucking mess and I can’t buy this bs.
BUT OH MY GOSH KAO IS BEING A TUTOR AND THE NOTES HE GIVES ARE SO ADORABLE WITH LITTLE CHIBI DRAWINGS OF HIM ON THE COVER I WANT TO BE YOUR STUDENT TEACH ME ENGINEERING KAO.
Does anyone else cringe watching Pete send a text, toss his phone to the side next to the pool, and then just... splash water everywhere? Like I know phones are much more waterproof than they used to be but... yikes. Also, wtf? Let your man do his think Pete.
Also, I want that affogatto P’Sun. Give it to meeeeee.... Oh, hi Mork. Nice to see you too I guess? That was a pretty smooth transition from coffee shop scene to bike scene though. I give them credit for that!
And then cute PeteKao segment! Splashy splashy in the pool. Then some bow-chicka-wow-wow in the pool. Again, what kind of galaxy brain did I have to make Pete the constantly horny one in fic before I ever actually knew Pete was the horny one.
Also, interesting that Pete is being hounded by a talent/modeling agency.
Pete again, upset that Kao will not let him spend the night at his house. “You’re again kind to everyone but me.” If only you knew the reason why, Pete! Wait wait wait, cook for three? What happened to Kao’s sister? Did she fall prey to the retcon monster? Also, Kao makes it clear he doesn’t want his mom to know they’re together. Already layering the drama, I see I see... Also clearly Pete has been angling for Kao’s mom to know. Probably hastened by the fact that his dad knows. But based on Kao’s silence and stance, it is a fight they’ve had many times and Pete quickly acquiesces. And yet, Kao is still a lovely boyfriend and leaves Pete cold meds? God, get me a man like him.
Am I allowed to think it’s funny that Sun and Rain are brothers? Because I KNOW this is how some families work. It just IS. But I think it’s hilarious that the older brother is the sun and the younger is the rain.
And then we begin the MorkSun tension. Rain is being all little brothers everywhere and calling out Sun’s bullshit. Gotta say though, I’m liking the new building they’re using for Sun’s cafe. It looks a lot nicer.
Rain, noooo... That’s such a shady way to get a girl’s number. Don’t do that! And Mork! Don’t look impressed either!
And then Pete goes to the agency, a flood of fans run past him to some guy, that I assume, will end up some rival at some point. Judging by the tension that was supposed to be in their eye contact. And then the guy calls Pete a fan and that he should wait outside when he sees him by the sink in the bathroom. They are really trying to make Pete angry so he’ll say yes to shove his success in this guy’s face, huh?
And then Non says it in front of P’Jo, the guy asking Pete to join. And Pete takes the bait. Oh boy...
We return to Rain, attempting to score Manow, the girl who lost her thumb drive. And then Non shows up. Again. They are really trying to make him look like an asshole, huh?
Oh, okay. So this was just so we could see Newwie topless. Thank you, Non! No, we don’t need you to be in this scene, appreciating his body, so we are forced to project our lust through you. We can appreciate his body ourselves just fine. GTFO. Wow, he cannot take a hint. Kao is pretty damn clear he doesn’t want to see him again. Like, go away bro. You’re scaring the cute, sensitive, and caring guys away.
More PeteKao bickering. Can we just go back to Newwie topless? It’s like a drug. Once you see it, you want more. Then they join their friends. June is as funny as ever. Which is to say he’s only funny when Sandee hits him. And suddenly, they still don’t remember that PeteKao are a thing? To be fair, they’re not wearing their Engineering shirts so... maybe Sandee’s pregnancy scare hasn’t happened yet? But Kao is talking about Thada and Sandee being lovey-dovey. So, they are together? This is going to make my head hurt, and not in a good way.
Oh, Kao’s sister is still alive! She’s just away somewhere studying. Thank god she wasn’t eaten by the retcon monster. Also, how does Kao survive with that many sticky notes everywhere. I could not. And then we see that Kao is also troubled by not being honest about his sexuality with his mother. I feel you bro. It’s rough when family brings up that business.
Sun is looking through the accounts and thinking about expanding business hours. Uh oh... And then we find out Sun’s relationship with his dad is not great. “I let you be who you are and act the way you want. I never said anything. Can’t you do this one thing for me?” NOPE NOPE NOPE. SUN DID THE RIGHT THING AND GOT THE FUCK OUT OF THAT. IT’LL BE OKAY SUN. I’LL COME OVER AND START BUYING COFFEE AT YOUR SHOP EVERY DAY. US GAY BOYS HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER AND STICK IT TO THE STRAIGHT MEN TRYING TO DRAG US DOWN.
Pete is... still doing poorly in school? Even with Kao “tutoring” him? Pete, you need to stop getting tutoring in sex ed and actually let Kao tutor you in your actual field of study!
Poor Kao! His students used him for his notes and ditched him. Kao, you sweet sweet thing. I feel you. And then Non is the guy his mom’s boss wants him to tutor? Oh no no no no no. I didn’t think we’d hit the jealousy bit so soon.
“Hello, Tutor Kao. I told you we’d see each other again.” Eeeewwww... and you’re a high school boy? No no no no no. DO NOT. Props to New for making the exactly correct expression of, “I’m so done with your shit, but this is Important, so I’m doing it anyway.”
And I was right. We are jumping right into Pete being mad in the next episode. Mostly because he hates Non’s guts. Which I’m normally fine with, but now that there are Stakes(TM) here for Kao’s mom... Ehh.... Guess we’ll see next ep.

Andrew Hammond’s Rolling Stone Top 25
Thought it would be fun to rerank the Rolling Stone top 25.
The first number is my ranking, then band, album, the Rolling Stone ranking, then my personal favorite song.
Without further ado...
25.Nirvana- Nevermind (6) Smells Like Teen Spirit?
24.The Velvet Underground- The Velvet Underground and Nico (23) Sunday Morning Ok this is another album that I’ve always thought got way too much hype. With a little more of an open mind, I think I do like The Velvet Underground and Nico more, having sat down and given it a couple more listens. Would it be in my personal top 25? Absolutely not. But here we are. I do hear how it influences a lot of the music I do like, but I just can’t get there with this one.
23.Carole King- Tapestry (25) Where You Lead
Through high school and college I worked at HEB. Off and on for eight years at HEB meant I developed a new genre of music: HEB Song. An HEB song has a little elevator music, a little yacht rock, a little boy band, and a lot of Carole King. This probably comes across as a backhanded compliment, but I really do appreciate someone mastering a specific sound even if it’s the sound most likely to get you to pull two bags of chips from the shelf and not just one. Where You Lead receives the favorite song nod because of its connection to Mellisa McCarthy’s breakout show, Gilmore GIrls. A favorite show of my mom and mine growing up.
22.The Notorious B.I.G.- Ready to Die (22) Juicy
A real up and down album that ends up being a little bloated once you listen to it straight through. Never a good sign when you start thinking to yourself “we are still listening to this B.I.G. album?” Juicy on its own would be pretty high up on a top songs list. “Birthdays was the worst days; now we sip Champagne when we thirsty,” my favorite line from that song.
21.Kendrick Lamar- To Pimp a Butterfly (19) Momma
Kind of a tricky one for me, since I think good kid, m A.A.d city runs laps around any other Lamar album. This choice feels a little like a reach by Rolling Stone to include something from the most recent decade in the top twenty five. My favorite parts of To Pimp a Butterfly are the Flying Lotus and Kamasi Washington influenced sounds. The avant garde lo-fi jazz sound that lurks beneath what Lamar spits out makes for a great combination. Great late night jam that took me back to my days in college when I’d play Flying Lotus late at night while studying.
20.Bob Dylan- Highway 61 Revisited (18) Like a Rolling Stone
Highway 61 Revisted was the first Dylan album I listened to thanks to my dad. So I guess I knew electric Bob before I even knew there was an acoustic Bob. Like a Rolling Stone can be debated about whether or not it is a GOAT song, but it’s easily the greatest f-you song. Verse three sticks out especially. Diplomats stealing hits home pretty quickly these days.
19.Public Enemy- It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (15) Don’t Believe the Hype
The funniest album on the list, no question. Flavor Flav really brings the comic relief to Chuck D’s social commentary. Speaking of laughable, the initial Rolling Stone top 500 had It Takes a Nation as the only rap album in the top one hundred. For sure. Released in 1988, It Takes a Nation unfortunately fights the same battles that To Pimp a Butterfly is fighting twenty seven years later. The production bites your ears so viciously, and then just keeps chewing. An unrelenting record that demands the listeners attention, and the attention of the powers at be.
18.Aretha Franklin- I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You (13) Respect
I feel like this album should be higher, but here we are once again. Aretha not getting any respect. I recently watched the Sister Act movies, and couldn’t help but wonder how the movies would turn out if she replaced Whoopi Goldberg. Spoiler alert: they’d be even better. Aretha’s voice really is that good, by the way. Take some time to listen to this album on a cold day, and let that gospel voice warm you up from the heart. The album cover perfectly captures that sixties black female aesthetic as well.
17.Michael Jackson- Thriller (12) Beat It
Ok. I know this is a #hammondhottake, but I really do believe what I’m about to say, and not just trying to get clicks. Thriller has a lot of great songs, but as a whole ends up being less than the sum of its parts. Is it possible to have too much pop? If this were a top twenty five songs list I’m sure I’d have Thriller songs higher, but as a complete albumThriller lacks depth. With the recent death of Eddie Van Halen, Beat It gets the nod for my favorite track. Such an iconic guitar riff that Eddie uses to tell white America it’s ok to like this black man’s music.
16.The Beatles- Revolver (11) Tomorrow Never Knows Over time this album has become more critically acclaimed; maybe even surpassing Abbey Road or Sgt Pepper’s. I still have it behind those two, but Revolver is no slouch. Coming out firing with Taxman, this album lays a great framework for Sgt. Pepper’s to later fill in only nine (!!!) months later. Iit makes sense that I would have Sgt. Pepper’s ranked higher since my favorite song on Revolver is Tomorrow Never Knows. You can imagine how I felt when my favorite show went to credits playing this LSD inspired track.
15.Bob Dylan- Blood on the Tracks (9) Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts
Thanks to listening to this album and Highway 61 Revisited, Dorothy now knows how to imitate Bob Dylan. “It’s meeeeee Bobbbbb!” This album hits hard, especially during the Fall. While sitting on the porch watching the leaves fall I keep imagining each one of them as a different character in Dylan’s tales. Lily, Rosemary, and The Jack of Hearts fall through the air mingling and dancing, taking twists and turns as Dylan’s characters often do in his extended songs.
14.Prince & the Revolution- Purple Rain (8) Let’s Go Crazy
Full disclosure: I have not seen Purple Rain, I’ve only listened to the soundtrack. The one regret I have on our wedding day was not playing Let’s Go Crazy to start the reception danceathon. Dearly beloved… Maybe a post-COVID danceathon will have to start off with this iconic track. I hate when you hear this on the radio and the opening is cut out. You need to have the set up before you can go crazy. This is the album you give to an alien who asks you what the eighties sounded like. Price creates such a definitive sound with this album. True talent captures a specific time and place, and then makes it timeless.
13.The Beach Boys- Pet Sounds (2) God Only Knows
Go read the Wikipedia on all the technical stuff that this album did for the first time. It’s all over my head, but does factor into the ranking here. I have to trust the studio nerds on this one, because at the end of the day it’s about the destination, not the journey. The Beach Boys create such a warm, beautiful sound, and you don’t need to know how they got it to hear the richness within it. I think a good life goal is to find someone or some-ones to whom you can genuinely sing God Only Knows and mean every single word. One of the best love songs ever. This album inspired The Beatles to make Sgt. Pepper’s, so we also can give thanks for that as well.
12.The Clash- London Calling (16) Lost in the Supermarket
What an opening bass line!! London! Calling! Pure energy in an album that keeps you pumped the whole time. A lot of high tempos, and the slower songs get their energy from the howling bass lines or Joe Strummer’s gruff voice. Like Songs in the Key of LifeI, I appreciate this album more and more as I get older. The lyrics again hit me different than they did when I was younger. Coming out two years before Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister, London Calling accurately describes the inequalities in London that she only exacerbated during her ministry. London Calling: come for the energy, stay for the class critique.
11.Fleetwood Mac- Rumours (7) Dreams
Funny this list came out right before the Tik Tok of quarantine dropped. Ha! So funny if they bumped Rumours up just because of it. Rumours has a crazy background to it, so check out the Wikipedia page to get all the gossip. I really want to talk about the ultimate backhanded compliment, Rumours being a perfect example. Is it mean to say an album is the perfect background music? I love Rumours because I can listen to it while staring at the ceiling, and it has enough going on to keep me engaged. But it might actually be a better listen if you are doing something else. Cooking, dinner conversation, playing with the kids, etc. I mean this is the best way. I really do love this album.
10.The Beatles- Abbey Road (5) Golden Slumbers 9.The Beatles- Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (24) Within You and Without You
My high school self would've ranked these albums much higher than I did here. I onced listened to the entire Beatles discography straight through. Nbd. Within You and Without You is my favorite Beatles song (breaking the tie with Abbey Road). This song comes in right behind Born to Run for GOAT opening side two song. But, speaking of side twos, Abbey Road…what a doozie. From You Never Give Me Your Money till The End, each track raises the stakes. Golden Slumbers is my favorite. Both of these albums are hard to talk about really. What hasn’t been said? They also fall victim to being so in the zeitgeist that you end up taking them for granted. The Lebron James of classic rock albums maybe? Just incredibly high expectations going into the release. They deliver a masterpiece, yet people sleep on them despite actually delivering on the astronomical expectations.
8.Stevie Wonder- Songs in the Key of Life (4) As
Rolling Stone’s highest rated double album. I’ve always known of this album, but having sat down and really listened to it straight though I appreciate it even more. Now that I’m older, this album rewards mature ears more than others on this list. Wondering aloud, could Stevie make the same album without making the previous 17(!) prior to it? Taking time to figure out who you are as a musician, and then delivering a mature album like this has to feel so satisfying for an artist. Final thought: love the cymbal on As.
7.Joni Mitchell- Blue (3) River
Maybe it’s the changing weather? Maybe it’s the clarity of sound in a house with two little girls? Still trying to figure out how Joni Mitchell’s Blue went from “the one with Mitchell’s Christmas song” to “the one where I can’t sit on the porch without playing it.” The quieter songs work better for me. Mitchell’s voice pairs so well with her acoustic guitar or piano. Mitchell wrote River in Chapel Hill while caroling with James Taylor, and I’ll be singing this to the girls this Christmas.
6.Kanye West- My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (17) Runaway
Power: track three on this album, and also the best word to describe the sound Kanye creates with this tour de force. There are all time bangers going down the track listing: Power. All of the Lights. Monster. Runaway. Lost in the World. What do the last ten years of rap and R&B look like if My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy never comes out? Is this the most influential rap album this century? Kanye has a lot of baggage these days, but don’t throw this album out with the bathwater.
5.The Rolling Stones- Exile on Main St. (14) Torn and Frayed
Much mythologized, Exile on Main St. has none of the hits but all of the groove. I do think without the background and circumstances Exile might not be remembered as fondly. I still love it though. The rough bluesy tracks like Torn and Frayed especially stand out to me. To picture them trapped in a house in France banging out these tracks give them an even greater life. Given those circumstances, it makes sense that this is a great quarantine album to have playing in the background.
4.Marvin Gaye- What’s Going On (1) What’s Going On
The most political album on the list, and partly why Rolling Stone moved it up to number one after ranking it six in 2003. I am more than ok with it being one. I would say Gaye and Franklin would be one or two if you listed these albums on vocals alone. Gaye’s smooth voice almost works against him while singing such gritty lyrics. Clocking in at 35 minutes I do wonder if there is something about knowing when to stop and saying, “This is the album. We’ve said all we need to say.” Although number five on my list might say otherwise...
3.Radiohead- Kid A (20) Everything in Its Right Place
When will this album start to sound old? If this came out next week it would still seem ahead of its time. I have yet to see Radiohead live. Not holding my breath, but I do hear my favorite song as my alarm goes off every morning. . Waking up to Everything in Its Right Place gives me a sense that today everything will be as it should be. What will happen will happen, and I will resolutely go about the day. Or as Optimistic reminds us, “the best you can is good enough.” This is Radiohead’s best.
2.Lauryn Hill- The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (10) Can’t Take My Eyes Off You
What an interesting career. Her only solo studio album, but what a tour de force. It always catches me by surprise how long the album is (clocking in at 69:20), but it never really drags. Justine and I danced to Can’t Take My Eyes Off You for our first dance. I often wonder how Hill would respond to hearing that a rural white male resonates with her music. She’d probably hate it since it seems like that’s what sort of turned her off from the music industry in general. Still Processing does an excellent job of reflecting on her career on this podcast.
1.Bruce Springsteen- Born to Run (21) Born to Run
This was an easy choice for me once I saw it in the top twenty five. I am actually surprised Darkness on the Edge of Town didn’t beat out B2R (as Bruce puts it when writing set lists). Darkness seems more fitting for these times than Born to Run, not that songs like Backstreets or Meeting Across the River can’t capture the current malaise. Home, to me, sounds like the harmonica and piano duet at the beginning of Thunder Road. GOAT opening side-two track: Born to Run. One of my first COVID memories is watching this on the second Sunday of lockdown. So electric. It gives me comfort to know that I’ll be listening to these eight songs for the rest of my life.

Tell me a fun childhood story (I’ll start! One time an aunt gave me money to buy ‘papas’ (potatoes) at the grocery store so bc I’m obedient af I went and asked the counter lady how many of em could I buy with the money I had so she went ‘uhh, not many tbh’ so i ended up getting like two and when I returned to my aunt’s house she laughed her ass off and said: I meant ‘papas fritas’ (potato chips) Not those! - and uh yeah this is funnier in Spanish but it proves that I’m such an innocent angel I mean wow) gIRL I WISH I COULDA SEEN THAT SPANISH EXCHANGE I DEFINITELY LAUGHED um????????? yo idk i can’t think of anything help uhhhh okay so when my sister and i were little our house was two stories so we’d take our stuffed animals and tie plastic bags to them and make them skydive ahahha but it wasn’t too satisfying for obvious reasons so we just attached this one stretchy pink scarf to them and make them bungee jump from the railing ajfdhgfdls classic

plain text version here.
let’s do this shit!
ok the start to this ep feels so... random and disjointed from the end of the last... like... is this the same day as the shaadi nonsense? is it not? how many days/months/years have passed? who knows, not me. ����😕😕
before shit goes down, can i just take the moment to say, goddamn, my girl looks sooooooooooooo good. 😍😍😍 i’m glad her hair’s back in the waves. i prefer it to the poker straight hair. plus the outfit. simple, clean lines. what a goshdarn babe. light of my life. my sun my moon all my stars. 😌😌😌

“maarna wahin chahiye jahaan par sab se zyaada dard ho, aur main bohut achche se jaanti hoon shivaay ko sabse zyaada dard kahaan hoga.”
sooooooo... she’s going to mess up his hair? 😕😕😕😗😗😗
lmao i am lovinggggg vikram’s exasperation and defeated confusion. 😆😆😆
btw, finally found the actor’s name, for those interested: danish pandor. unfortunately, he’s not big on social media, so get your jollies by taadofying at him here.
sooooooooo.... vikram, who wanted anika enough to marry her even without her consent, is perfectly ok with this plan of killing(?) her? 🤔🤔🤔 like....??????? what even is this dude’s deal? he seems perfectly sane and sorted but i dont get his motives re: anika. 😕😕😕
omki’s cryyyyying? whyyyy??? is it coz he’s a loser who can’t summon the guts to tell his wife the words “i am sorry”? 😐😐😐
“kaunsa sach?”
coz at this point everyone is hiding so many things from each other than it’s hard to fucking keep track anymore 😗😗😗
bruh, does this fucker know or not, or is he just going around faking everyone out and getting them to drop him enough breadcrumbs 😒😒😒
lmaooooo rudra is exhausted solving everyone’s issues. 😆😆😆

LMAOOOOOOOOOO I KNEW ITTTTTT. I KNEW HE WAS FAKING. I CAN’T BELIEVE THESE PPL ARE FALLING FOR IT. FOR FUCKS SAKE, DON’T YOU KNOW THIS GUY AND HOW HE WORKS AT ALLLLLLLLLL? 😂😂😂
aaaaaaaaaaand, there it is. is ladke ke pet mein kuchhhhhhhhh nahi rehta. 😣😣😣
omki is desperately babbling. it’s hard to watch him, the most sorted one, like this. *pats his floofy hair* 😞😞😞
my boyyyyyyyyssssssssssssss. *weeeeps* 😭😭😭😭
time to dramatically ponder in the dark. 🙄🙄🙄
dang, look how much nakuul’s hair grown in two months. 😯😯😯

YUPPPPPPPP. 😐😐😐
lmao everyone’s faces:
"UM, THE FUCK?”
“.... um, i understood one of those three words. what’s an e-cutie? am i the e-cutie?”
“wait, what about us? we’re putting up with those two and their daily chutiyapa for NOTHING?”
“yeh roz roz ka drama mujhse jhela nahi jaata. dadaji oberoi, mujhe apne paas bula lo.”
“🎵 aankh ladaake tune maara! tin-tidin-tin-tin-tin-tin-ting! ghayal ho gaya dil bechaa... 🎶 wait, what was that? it seemed important. shit, i should have paid attention. oh well. it’s not like anyone here wants my opinion anyway. 🎵 SUNA HAI TERE CHAAHNE WAALE... TIN-TINDIN-TIN...🎶 ”
food for thought for me tonight: how much am i willing to tolerate from an asshole like shivaay if it means he will eventually transfer all his assets in my name? like... is one gajilliontrillion bucks enough for year’s worth of mental torture? like, i’m suffering through life right now FOR FREE, which seems like a pretty unfair bargain. if he gets too annoying, i can just take the money and then gone girl his ass. hmmmm. note to self: make a pros/cons list to evaluate comprehensively. 🤔🤔🤔
pinky is fucking frothing at the mouth hearing shivaay’s soft and gentle voice baandhofying taareefon ke pull for anika. 😬😬😬
anika at this point: i would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one I have never asked to be a part of, since i met you hellspawned fuckers on a dark and godless day. 🙅🏽🙅🏽🙅🏽
ok the way she’s jabbing shivvay in the chest looks painful. he’s got a heart issue, woman. plus he’s been shot in the chest. please stop. 😖😖😖
yiiiiiiiiiiiikes. so she just wants the money? damn pinky, that’s cold. even for you that’s cold. 😥😥😥
WAIT WHAT?!?!!?!? 😯😯😯😟😟😟
HOLY SHIT. ALL THAT FOR FUCKING NOTHING. THIS STUPID FUCKER ISN’T NAJAAYAZ AFTER ALL?!?!??!?? THE FUCKKKKKKKKKK 😧😧😧
BUT.... WHAT ABOUT MAHI? HOW EVEN??????? THE DNA TEST SAID THEY WERE BROTHERS. SO MAHI IS A BONAFIDE OBEROI WHO’S PINKY’S SON TOO???? LIKE, I REALLY DON’T CARE ABOUT SHIVAAY COZ A CAT WILL ALWAYS FALL ON ITS FOURS WHAT ABOUT MY SON MAHI?????? TELL ME ABOUT MAHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *SCREAMING* 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
OMG WHAT THE FUCK FAKE!TEJLANA LITERALLY NOONE CARES ABOUT YOU RIGHT NOW GTFO MY SCREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡
yikes. “mrs. pinky singh oberoi” 😬😬😬😬
ladka haath se nikal gaya hai. say bye bye bye to your laadla beta, mataji. 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽

Hard Times | June Goals Update
So it’s been another month. Somewhat scary to think that time flies straight over your head, and doesn't ever stop...
Anywho...
*If you would prefer to not read my struggles with bipolar disorder and in particular, the depressive side of it, feel free to skip past this ramble!*
Hey People of Earth!
I’ve had a month. It opened shitty, ended shitty, lots of shitty things happened in between. In regards to June--damn, how shitty it has been.
I have tried writing this post on its own for around a week now. And every single time I try, I end up trashing the draft. Last night I decided not to trash the draft, and post it today, but I’ve somehow trashed the draft.
Again...
So. I've sort of been severely depressed since the start of the month... Oh boy...
If you don't know, I was diagnosed officially as bipolar on May 31st of this year. I kid you not, the very next day, I fell back into this terrible depressive rut I haven't been able to escape since.
I’ve been waiting three years for someone to just validate the feelings I've had--I’ve been desperate for someone to tell me what my doctor told me on May 31st. I was convinced that hearing those words, hearing that diagnosis would make me the happiest person in the world, and I think it’s the disappointment that stemmed from not having that that just choked me this month.
I don’t know why hearing so hey, Rachel, yo, you’re actually bipolar sent me into the deepest, darkest hole I have ever existed in. Because I’d been waiting so long to hear those words. Past Me was positive everything would be better after I heard those words. Past Me always thought everything would get better after hearing those words, but things have only gotten progressively worse.
I’m diagnosed as bipolar, and I can’t tell you how hard that has been to swallow.
I’m sincerely sorry for missing blog posts, and promising I’ll come back, and then never coming back. I’ve literally torn myself apart because of this... But, I’ve lived like a ghost this month, and doing anything has been so painful.
I went from high to low in the span of seconds, and I can’t leave.
I want to get into how it feels to be bipolar, and to cycle into these moods so frequently. Of course, this is only my experience with this disorder. Others might not experience this like I do.
So for me, shifting from high to low feels like someone is punching me in the face, and will not stop. I hate going from okay one moment, to so low the next. It’s so frustrating to me. Ask my family or friends--it’s fucking frustrating for them too because do you know how difficult it is for someone to see you having the time of your life one day, and then being in such a dark place the next? I hardly understand this. I can’t imagine how those around me feel. Switching from high to low feels like I’m a failure, and I cannot stop failing, because of all things, I can’t control my own brain, even though I feel like I should have that right. I’m not strong enough to control my brain--it controls me. Switching from high to low makes me feel so stuck. Like I’m struggling in quicksand, but there is no way out. You feel defeated by yourself, even though you shouldn't have a competition within yourself . But that’s kind of what goes on with me every time this happens. My body and soul go to war, when that should never happen.
I feel like to a point, while I emphasize honesty in my blog posts, there’s a line I draw. There’s a point where I fear if I talk more about this, and talk more about the fact that every single thing I did in June was torturous, people will not want to listen. I don’t want to bog people down. But this affects my writing life so much, and in turn, will affect you.
Imagine one day, you’re on top of the world. You have everything you could ever want. You are successful. You feel great about yourself. You are in the best state you have ever been in. Now imagine, the next day, you witness something so upsetting, you spiral into the deepest rut you’ve ever been in. You don't want to keep going. You’re choking on your own life. You feel hollow.
This happens to me. Every day. Every week. Every month.
I wish I could be more positive about this... I miss my positivity so much.
I can’t remember if I’ve talked about this on here before. But January and February are always the worst months I ever have to experience. Jan and Feb of 2015 were emotionally draining, but I didn’t know why, so I moved along as they went. Jan and Feb of 2016? A little harder to get by, but I did it, with a little help from ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES. Jan and Feb of 2017? Completely different ball game. I’ve never fought so hard to stay here.
Until June…
I always said that if I didn’t have a diagnosis before January and February of 2018, I’d probably not survive beyond then.
I didn’t know I was capable of feeling that pain in a completely different realm of time.
June isn’t the winter. June is sunny, and bright, and where all the happiness should stem from. There are flowers outside. The sky is blue. Everything is beautiful. June isn’t supposed to bring misery like January and February. June is supposed to be breezy and light, and the cross into summer vacation. But I just exited the hardest month I’ve ever had to live through. And I hate that I’ve said that statement somewhere around 8 times in my life, and I’m hardly even sixteen.
I can’t tell you why I’m so depressed. I can’t explain it. I can’t tell you it’s because something bad happened in my life. Because nothing did. Nothing happened. Nothing should have changed.
Gah. I didn't want to have to say all of this. But I know if I don't know, I never will.
So welcome to my off day. Or my off month. I guess.
So now that all of that's been said, let’s get into these insanely ambiguous goals, shall we?
1. Hit 80k in FOSTERED #5.
HIT 90K BABY.
2. Outline more of ALANNIS, and like maybe try to finish it, though I mean this isn’t going to happen, so yeah, just work on it pls
Didn’t even touch the thing. lol sorry.
3. Upload another video.
Guess who didn’t do this. Guess who has a video ready to upload just sitting on her computer. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Actually, I do. (Reference above, lol)
(I will get this thing up when I feel a little better I promise!)
4. Read a book yo.
Didn’t do this. Also because of the above. Sigh. I did start THE HATE U GIVE and it’s amazing thus far. I’m around 100 pages in, and I love it.
5. Finish another character portrait.
If there’s something I did this month... Jeez...
I did a lot of art this month, man... So I mean, if there’s a silver lining to anything, it’s that... I actually just finished one of these an hour ago. I’m not going to show you one of them because I’m not digging the final outcome that much.
I finished this AWESOME painting of Emily from the FOSTERED books AKA the character who looks different every time I write with her... lol. (Did I just call my own art awesome? Uhm, well I say awesome because @sarahkelsiwrites drew the sketch, I only painted it in. So yes.)
I don't like complimenting my own work, but um, I think I have substantially (and quite miraculously) improved my abilities to shade using the painterly technique.
I actually did my first digital painting using the painterly technique earlier in the month.
Here I bring you, ‘Angsty Ben’
LOOK AT HIS EYELINER
LOOK AT HIS BLEACHED HAIR
LOOK AT HIS LIP RING.
LOOK AT HIS ANGST PATCH JACKET
LOOK AT HIS STROKES FANBOY T-SHIRT
THE SURF CURSE PATCH KILLS ME
WHO ELSE SEES THE CLIFFORD IS A DISAPPOINTMENT PATCH ON THE BOTTOM LEFT.
LOWKEY WHAT A FUTURE 17-YEAR-OLD BEN LOOKS LIKE.
Hahahahahaaaaaaa
I know. This is the best thing I’ve ever created. Ha. So this cheered me up. Awesome.
Obviously, it’s not entirely finished, though I’m just stopping here at this point, because it was really only here as a test in shading.
My point here, is that I think there’s quite a large improvement in shading...
@sarahkelsiwrites did an amazing job on Emily’s sketch, so huge thanks to her! I have a speedpaint for this, so it’ll be up at some point in time... Harrison is actually supposed to be next to her, buuuuut he’s giving me trouble, so... (He will be completed at some point in time also.)
AND NOW LOOK HOW LIT THIS IS
@sarahkelsiwrites drew me the most AMAZING portrait of Lonan, and I die.
If you don't know, the name Lonan means blackbird, and the meaning of his name, though never stated in the books, is a huge point of symbolism in the novels...
This is the sketch she drew (excuse the world’s shittiest scan):
(It’s shitty a) because the paper is kind of way too big for the scanner, and b) because haha my scanner is shitty)
BUT CAN WE JUST.
And then I, around an hour ago, went in and added colour...
AHHHHHHHH
Sarah said she’d eventually like to do a digital painting of this as well, so I’m just so stoked... THE SYMBOLISM IN THIS DRAWING ACTUALLY MURDERS MEEEEEE.
Cuz yanno, birds are supposed to be in cages, but LOOK AT HIIIIM.
In other news, I finally have an idea for book five’s cover...
Bless you, Sarah. Bless. This thing makes me so happy.
I also have a speedpaint for this. So yeah. Onslaught of vids coming your way the minute I start feeling better.
6. Complete that huge edit on FOSTERED #5.
YAAAAAS. I did this. In school. Like a boss. If you don't know, I like to go back and edit my novel every 10k words or so, and accidentally eventually let the usual 10k turn into 30k... So to continue writing, I had to make a bit of a large edit, and I did it! I think it happened in a day or so? So it was a lot less arduous than anticipated.
7. *Maybe* re-visit I’M DISAPPOINTED. Just maybe. If it won’t drive you nuts. Or at least look at the query and fix it up a little.
I thought about re-visiting I’M DISAPPOINTED. lol. Does that count. (More news on what the heck is happening with this book in my writing update which should be up at some point in time..)
8. Write at least 100 words in the I’M DISAPPOINTED short story.
I didn’t do this. I was supposed to edit what I had. I have it all formatted and everything. But I never printed it out... So then, I just never wrote anything...
Ahhh well, look at all the amazing art above, lol. I’ve done more, but I’m saving all that stuff for later when they’re all cleaned up and stuff.
So those were all my goals and stuff. So I mean, even though I had the shittiest month ever, I still managed to somehow get a lot of things done. I’m addicted to work. This is a problem.
(Oh by the way, another goal I hit this month... You know how I said a while back that I wanted to get a 97% average this semester? Well... uh. I kind of did. 97.25% to be exact... yeaaaaaahhhhhh I should stop...)
So here are more goals:
1. Hit 100k in FOSTERED #5
2. Outline more of ALANNIS, and like maybe try to finish it, though I mean this isn’t going to happen, so yeah, just work on it pls
3. Upload another video.
4. Read a book yo.
5. Finish another character portrait
like come on
6. Write at least 100 words in the I’M DISAPPOINTED short story.
pls.
Some exciting things happening in my life right now:
- I’m seeing Ed Sheeran in concert this FRIDAYYYYYY
- I might be seeing Precious Kid in Pennsylvania. Possibly.
- MY BROTHERS MET PRECIOUS KID
- I’M SEEING FLIPPIN SURF CURSE IN CONCERT AT THE END OF AUGUST
- Also going to Mexico
So many things are happening, man...
Because this post started out as the world’s biggest bummer, I want to maybe help anybody out there who needs some comfort by sharing a couple of things that’ve made my past month less terrible.
Daughter performances have been the only thing keeping me going at night when I can’t sleep. My insomnia hasn’t left me alone for this entire week. After trying everything I know of (come on fam, even my favourite ASMR vid doesn’t work), I’ve resorted to watching performances of one of my favourite bands.
Elena writes beautiful songs about her own sadness. She does it in a way that brings me so much comfort. And while all that I go through is ugly, Elena uses words that make it sound beautiful, and in doing so, make my pain less hurtful.
I’ve never seen them perform their song Made Of Stone live, so finding this performance was absolutely amazing. I love that she expresses thoughts I’ve had myself. It makes me feel like hey, I’m not the only one. Someone gets me. This song does that very well.
See, this is why I love music.
youtube
You’ll find love kid, it exists
I also love
youtube
This one really helped sooth my mind a bit. Which is nice. :)
This post really helped me when I was in a really suicidal rut a couple nights ago: https://themighty.com/2016/08/if-you-want-to-die-read-this/
^^^ I love this post.
On a little bit of a lighter note, Paramore’s Hard Times hits me where I need it.
youtube
If you’ve been a long-time follower, you know how much your girl loves Paramore.
THIS SONG.
Lyrically, it’s one of the saddest things Paramore has put out. But they’ve paired it with this funky beat that’s so ironically happy… And guys… The accuracy in representing depression… Oh my lord…
Hard times Gonna make you wonder why you even try Hard times Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry These lives And I still don’t know how I even survive Hard times Hard times
And I still don’t know how I even survive… <<< this hits my heart so much
I sing this part with no chilllllll.
*this brings me so much happiness*
Paramore was the thing that got me through that second terrible Jan+Feb beyond ATBP, so this is somewhat fitting…
This video by Dodie is the thing that pushed me to not give a shit if this seemed too bitter and pessimistic. She really made me feel that if I feel bitter and pessimistic, I should be real about that.
youtube
I’m not actually a fan of hers (I just don’t watch her vids, though I probably will now), but I’ve seen this thing pop up in my recommended since it came out, and I finally watched it last night. I love this video.
Also just kind of a simple one, but my sister helps too. Like loads. So far, she’s been the one to make me smile and laugh, even when I’m in the actual middle of this muggy period.
Maybe you don’t know this about me, but I’m a die-hard ASMR fan (if you suffer from insomnia, this is my secret to sleep), and CarolineASMR’s 24/7 livestream has been giving me life.
Whenever I’m just very down, and need something to do, I listen to this. And it’s always there. Which is so great for so many reasons. I wasn’t going to mention this one because I didn’t think it was that much of a help, but after going through my YouTube history, I realize that I’ve relied on this livestream so much this past week…
(If you ever need ASMR recs, hellooooo)
(START WITH BRIGHTGREYASMR THAT’S ALL I HAVE TO SAY, YOU’RE WELCOME. THIS video is the only one that kills my insomnia around 90% which is AWESOME)
So all of these things have contributed to making my life a little easier. I wanted to share them with you to hopefully bring some light into your life, if you’ve been going through some hard times too. Just know that at some point in life, this suck will ease. I don’t know if it will ever get better, and I won’t say that because I know I don’t even like when people say that to me. But you’re literally going to keep kicking ass. Even if all you’re doing right now is existing, you are still worthy of every single moment you have. I know I don’t have hope right now, so I can’t tell you to just have hope, because sometimes, being hopeful isn’t always easy. I hope you find your hope, and I hope I find my hope. If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m all ears.
That’s kind of the end of this post... Thank you for listening, if you made it this far. Thank you for letting me express myself when I need to. I hope this serves as a bit of an explanation for my MIA-ness. I’ll try to be back as soon as I can. You guys are sincerely the best.
See you in the next one. :)

A Side to Chuya [Part 3] (Chuya Nakahara, Bungou Stray Dogs)
Fandom series: Bungou Stray Dogs
Character: Chuuya Nakahara
Pairing: Reader x Chuya
Prompt: A Side to Chuya [Part 3]
[Part 1, Part 2 ]
LOOK WHO HAS FINALLY CAME BACK FROM THE LIVING DEAD REALM OF PASSIVE WRITING AND NEARLY DEAD WRITING MOTIVATION FINALLY FINISHED PART 3 OF THIS SERIAL?
Meeeeee. Yes. MEEEEEE!
//aggressively wipes all the bloody and very super salty tears
This, I must say, literally took me a month to finally sit down and be like “Okay come on Jasmine, you KNOW you want to write this, and even if this series may take a while to come to a conclusion but you do wanna write this part. DO IT. DO IT NOW!’ but I also must admit and add that the many nice reviews and comments from the here and the AO3 pages have really accumulated to my confidence, plus also IRL genuine boost of motivation from a lot of my friends, family, peers an even mutuals who really acknowledged my writing skills and continuously support my writing endeavors. It’s been truly a blessed progressive journey.
To be really honest, I wasn’t all too sure how well-known the ‘Chuya x Reader’ writings I have here reach out because I’ve always been only writing mostly for otoge that fanfics that are non-otoge has kind of been out of my spectrum for a very long while - especially the ones more romance. But writing with passion for both Chuya and the art of writing itself, I wanted to really get this out there and I did it - I’m thankful for many who not only took time reading but also enjoyed both my writing and the stories.
This series may come in a few parts as I still have a lot of ideas for it, just as also how Part 3 took the longest time for me to finally decide on a scenario because it has a lot of ideas of how it can branch out to the next part but then finally decided on one, it didn’t turn out the way I wanted to because I have a habit of never really plan my stories but only go YOLO WHAT IS PLAN PSHT YEAH RIGHT spontaneously see where my hands take me. So to speak.
But! Still happy with how it turned out because it was still samiliar to the original initial idea. And also just very happy I really got it done.
Anyway! Enough rambling for me. I’m so sorry for the wait and once again, thank you for your support!
I hope you enjoy this part! And more to come!
Breakdown:
- Atsushi and Dazai are still following the couple for (Dazai) blackmail material and (Atsushi) curious unfolding of unexpected sides to Chuya! Dun dun!
- But at a clothing store?!
- Wow so Chuya must really love to spoil his lover, huh? Ohoho
Atsushi had to only keep it to himself that again, part of him is quite curious about wanting to find out more of this unexpected side of the infamous Nakahara Chuya, who is also one of the biggest figure of endangerment and name of death itself within the Port Mafia; he doesn't have that many memories of getting into any encounters with him but being a witness of silly to deadly silly bantering between Dazai and him gives him a lot more of a reminder to not cross the 'petite mafia'.
"Honestly, Dazai-san," Atsushi said wryly as he offer Dazai a sundae cone, "Don't you ever think of the chances we could get caught? Nakahara-san is quite sharp.."
"Pfft!" Dazai scoffed, followed by a small chuckle as he took the sundae, one stroke of his tongue for a taste before he hummed softly in approval and then look at Atsushi, "A man is still a man when he's in love. Ah that reminds me... I hope my battery doesn't run out since I still need more photos for blackmail material..."
"Dazai-san!" Atsushi chided, but of course he wasn't expecting the taller male to actually do the opposite; it's almost amazing to think Dazai actually take sinister pleasure in this 'stalking mission' not only to do more than to prove his point, but he also knew Dazai is quite serious about keeping those photos for blackmail material.
Ah he wouldn't want to imagine how the very person they are 'stalking' now would react to those photos, but in hindsight he began to get curious how did he look like in those pictures - especially with the way he seems so unguarded and relaxed around his lover. She must truly be a special human being to hold such significance in his life.
Atsushi took a quick glance at one of the photos in Dazai's camera roll, his posture relaxed as his expression became more contemplative, "He looks genuinely happy despite he has his temper. I figured it would be hard to date a Mafia, or even for him to be able to relax in his free time to date."
"Mmm well," Dazai hummed, "Let's just say if the situation have changed in a sense she's part of the Mafia just to be in a relationship with him, danger lurks and follows in any direction really." Then he shifted his gaze to observe the couple from afar, and Atsushi noticed the devillishly playful light in his eyes dimmed.
Maybe Dazai must be ruminating of the same kind of possible situation and the predicaments that would follow, especially since he had been in the Mafia for the longest time before finally getting out of there and joining the Agency. Perhaps in some ways, Dazai could relate but at the same time Atsushi had to bear in mind that it's not easy to compare when these two are two different personalities.
Atsushi look down on the ground, "Dazai-san..."
"Ah! But not to miss a fact that Chuya is an embodiment of danger so PSHT as if there's much to be concern about!"
Oh lord, nevermind already.
Atsushi's lips form a thin line of a frown before his expression soften, just knowing deep down his senior may not have really meant ill entirely. For some reason, despite he's still quite on edge at the anticipation of sooner or later to be caught by Chuya, he also wouldn't mind just learning a little bit of what is it like for an ordinary life for a Mafia.
Of course, at least from a 'safe distance' observation that is.
The two silently followed the couple, remaining stealth and flexible with their movements as they made sure they would stay fairly further away as they trudged inside a clothing store. Which is quite an amusing choice for a change of location to them because this time it isn't really the lover's decision to walk inside here but Chuya's.
"Chuya, I have quite enough clothes already, you know." His lover said with a sigh, smiling up at him wryly as she watch Chuya shuffling through a clothes rack of what seem to be a tidy lineup of evening gowns. She tilted her head to the side, blinking, "Are we going somewhere or something?"
"No," Chuya answered her curtly, then taking a step back as his eyes move from one end of the rack to the other end, then looking back at her with a small light of love in his eyes; while he isn't smiling and his lover had to hold back her giggles because it's as if Chuya is the one pouting over not getting a dress he wants, she knew Chuya's affection for her is immense. "Why didn't you tell me if you needed a new evening gown for the upcoming annual dinner? I have to hear it from Kouyou-aneesan since she said she wanted to take you for clothes shopping."
His lover folded her arms with raised eyebrows, "I didn't want to tell you because what is the point of surprising you if I did?"
Chuya frowned, "Don't lie to me. It's the washing machine, isn't it? The last dress I bought for you was tattered so you tried to keep it from me."
Seeing the surprise apparent on her expression, Chuya knew it must've been really hard for her to try to keep it from him because she must've predicted if she told him the accidental damage happened to the dress he bought for her last year for last year's annual dinner, it wouldn't actually upset him but it would upset her more to think of a way to tell him about it. He love to spoil her, and that is also one reason she would try to keep it from him.
Finally, she unfolded her arms, let out a heavy sigh of defeat. Both her hands reach out to cup his cheeks, Chuya didn't move a budge as his blue eyes focus on her, her touch so delicate and warm that he wish he could just enjoy this ardent attention all to himself in his own private space and time.
"You need to stop spoiling me or spending on me like this. We're getting out of here." She said, trying to hold a firm tone to her words but when Chuya held his hand up to hers, and seeing the snarky smile, she frown hard. "....Chuya. No."
"My day off, I get to decide so I decide to buy a new dress for you. Hell if you need new clothes--"
"But Chuya..."
"You said you wanted to surprise me. You still can. Just try on something, anything and get what you like. You're gonna surprise me for sure." Chuya crooned softly with a small note of seduction that it almost made her stop breathing for a second; he leaned forward and she realize his blue eyes illuminating with so much kindness and love - it's almost hard to believe this is the same fearsome Nakahara Chuya.
"But...but it's really expensive here..." She whispered, trying to at least do her best to convince him but as usual for a stubborn man like him, he refuse to go back on his word.
Chuya snorted, then look over to one of the staff standing from afar and then snapped his fingers to call her over. When she did, she stopped and then gave a polite bow, trying to hide a small smile to herself at the adorable sight of the couple.
"Yes, Nakahara-san."
Chuya didn't waste any time as he spoke curtly but direct, "Assist her in what she needs. Make sure to get the right measurements. I don't care the cost so just add it into my name."
"Chuya!"
"Go on now," Chuya softly whispered to her, patting at the small of her back to usher her away with the assigned staff, "I'll be outside and around." A small smile of triumph etched to his lips when she finally let out a heavy sigh and surrender to his kind offer.
Meanwhile, the duo who had been watching the whole spectacle from afar exchanged looks; Dazai still look greatly amused, Atsushi wasn't sure what is the proper reaction but he have to admit it was quite fascinating to watch them.
"Nakahara-san really like to spoil her, huh," Atsushi commented with a dry smile. Dazai chuckled, but the slightly cordial moment was brief as he took a while to glance around, his eyes narrowed as he noticed a shady man donned in black carefully making his way towards Chuya, dagger ready in hand.
"Ah, I surmise this isn't the only reason to be here..."
Atsushi was confused at first, until he followed Dazai's line of sight, his eyes widened. He was about to make a quick sprint to prevent an incoming danger to happen but Dazai quickly held him back.
"D-Dazai-san! What if--"
"You don't want to blow our cover too soon, do you?" Dazai interjected, smiling, "I wouldn't worry if I were you, you know."
"But..."
"Watch." Dazai said as he urged Atsushi to keep his defenses down.
Atsushi had his reservations but as soon as he turn back to watch how the 'incoming danger' would entail, his eyes widened in astonishment at how quick Chuya had already dodged the knife, taking the man by surprise for a moment but he wasn't given enough time to retreat or shift his movements when Chuya suddenly grab his arm, his free hand clasped on the assailant's mouth.
"I had a hunch I was followed but I didn't think you would be this smart to come all the way here," Chuya murmured coldly as he twisted the man's arm, muffled his scream with his other hand before pushing him down on the ground; he snapped his fingers to signal one of the employee of the store [who surprisingly isn't quite taken aback by the physical feud for some reason] to open the door of a vacant changing room.
"Chuya!"
Chuya grabbed the assailant by the back of his shirt and then threw him inside the changing room, just in time for his lover to come out of changing when the door of the other changing room banged shut.
He turned around to see his beloved making her way to him, wearing a casual floral one piece dress, added with a silk floral scarf to match with the cute combination. Thankfully he had taken care of the attacker before she notice or else not only would he have to explain to her about what happened but he really don't need the unnecessary worry right now when he's on his date.
"Is there a theme for this year's annual dinner? I forgot to ask. Koyou-san didn't tell me but I thought you'd know." She asked curiously, then giving a brief twirl to show him, "What do you think?"
"Not that I know of," Chuya answered, looking down to take in the view of her in the dress, "It's cute. But this time I want you to choose a few more selections. We only picked one last year, maybe about time I get you to grow that collection."
When she started to frown with disapproval, he knew she was going to argue. With a small charming smirk, he leaned down and then quickly peck her cheek as though to assure her.
"Come on, I'm just saying I want you to get more." Chuya crooned lovingly.
She sighed, "But Chuya, this is really expensive...and it's not like we go on that many dates for me to wear them..."
Chuya patted her shoulders, then gently turn her around and called the same employee over to assist her, "Alright then, stubborn girl, I'll make time so we can go on more dates for you to wear them. Now go. Take your time. I'll be around here."
She knew it is either she would continue to be more stubborn or he would continue to be more persistent but either way, in the end she also knew she could never really prolong such a silly argument between them - not when Chuya always make sure he would try to be the more dominant one. Besides, if they had spent more time bickering because of their stubbornness, the day would only be quite a waste and the date wouldn't go on - it's just so much better at times to just compromise and appreciate what's more important.
Once Chuya made sure his beloved is far away enough and occupied with her time in trying out few selection of dresses, along with the employee's assistance, his eyes narrowed as he turn to the employee who's standing next to the changing room the assailant is trapped inside.
"I'll handle this by myself. Just make sure this doesn't reach Koyou-aneesan. I don't need her nagging at me again." He coldly blurted out like it's both a command and a comment as he cracked his knuckles.
The same employee only give a sheepish grin, "Understood, Nakahara-san." Once she had affirmed her acknowledgement of the command, she open the door and Chuya walk inside with a look spelling murder and seven minutes ready to unleash hell - he crack his knuckles again.
"You're going to pay for choosing this very day to try to spoil my date..." He muttered coldly under his breath as the door of the changing room close behind him.
Atsushi winced at the shrilling scream coming from the same room, followed by loud thuds, bangs and the symphony of murder and punishment delivered by the man - who not only decided not to use his 'gravity manipulation' to beat the crap out of the unlucky scumbag but had once again proven he is just as terrifyingly powerful WITHOUT needing to use his ability.
"T-That's... Is this really okay? It sounds like it's going to get more than a bloody mess in there..." Despite Atsushi ask as though he really thought his conscience is trying to reason with him, the brutal truth is he really wouldn't want to go in there and step on Chuya's ugly side - that and also because it would be extra hell to pay if Chuya happen to find out he is also being followed by the very person he hate to stand one millimeter close.
Dazai chuckled, absolutely amused in comparison to Atsushi who's pretty much fretting a lot more for many different reasons, "I told you. Nothing to worry about. But this is definitely entertaining to watch, isn't it?"
Yes. Poor Atsushi has plenty of reason to worry.
He didn't have to ask, of course, what the next step would be after this.

The Zika Need To Know
What You Need To Know About The ZIKA VIRUS!!!
With mosquito “season” right around the corner (and let’s be honest ya’ll, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen mosquitoes every month this year due to the weird weather we’ve been having here in Texas), We at Mighty Mosquito Control decided its time to talk about a topic I’m sure everyone is getting nervous about if your familiar with Zika, or want to be keep reading.
DON’T LEAVE BEHIND HARSH RESIDUES, PROVIDE BAREFOOT FUN, and TAKE BACK OUTDOOR LIVING! (469) 443-8030
The Zika Virus. This year’s version of the West Nile scare, sweeping across America! Hide your kids! Hide your wife! It’s going to find you!
Let’s take a breath and examine what Zika virus actually is, what it does to you, and where it is found.
Zika virus is spread to people through mosquitos (what Are those insects good for?!). The virus causes fever, rash, joint pain, and red eyes in those infected with it. That doesn’t sound like fun, does it? Not really, but surely for all the scary whispers about it the symptoms get much worse from here and lead to death, right? Wrong* (unless you’re pregnant… keep reading!). The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting from several days to a week. Rarely, (RARELY people!) a more severe infection will require hospitalization to treat the symptoms. And treatment for the virus? Just treat those symptoms! Tylenol for the fever, sleep a lot (Finally! An excuse to stay in bed all day!), drink lots of fluids to help prevent dehydration (which is one of the issues they would treat in the hospital with IV fluids if it gets bad enough!), and that’s pretty much it. Avoid getting (more!) mosquito bites within the first week of being infected because the virus is still in your blood and those greedy little mosquitos will suck that infected blood back up and infect other people with it.
Before we dive in to pregnancy, let’s talk about prevention. There are no vaccines so prevention is as “simple” as Avoid Those Mosquitos! But let’s be honest here, if you are one of those unlucky types who attract mosquitos like a dollar buffet (meeeeee), this simple prevention measure becomes a lot more complicated! Measures to avoid mosquitos usually involve avoiding outdoors during dawn and dusk, but the mosquitos that carry Zika are the kind that get you midday. Soooooo, stay indoors, use a lot of repellent (it’s even safe to use when you are pregnant or nursing according to the CDC), wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants, treat your clothes with permethrin (this remains effective even after several washes!). For children, do all the above and then maybe put some mosquito netting over their stroller/car seat/ crib. Don’t use repellent on babies younger than 2 months though, and avoid hands, eyes, and mouth. To get their precious little faces, apply the repellent to your hands and then gently rub on the child’s face. Another good way to prevent mosquito bites is to help decrease the number of mosquitos in your area by eliminating breeding areas. This involves eliminating standing water on your property, changing water in bird baths weekly, clearing leaves and twigs from eaves, storm and roof gutters, removing dense brush and weeds, turning over compost regularly, and throwing away raked leaf piles immediately. While you’re at it, you could get a mosquito misting system installed on your property or get a one-time spray for a special occasion to help protect your guests! (a little shameless advertising for one of our services!
Okay, pregnancy. In Brazil, pregnant mothers infected with Zika virus have had babies with microcephaly and other poor pregnancy outcomes (the CDC said that last vague, slightly infuriating phrase. What do you mean “other poor pregnancy outcomes?!” is what I’m thinking, but ya know, the CDC can do whatever it wants). Microcephaly is a condition in which the baby has a smaller head compared with other babies of the same age and sex. Unfortunately, this usually doesn’t mean that your sweet baby will just look a little odd. Microcephaly usually occurs because the brain did not grow and develop properly in utero. Other problems linked to microcephaly include: seizures, developmental delays, problems with movement and balance, feeding problems, hearing loss, and vision problems. After the CDC states that pregnant women can have babies with microcephaly when infected with Zika virus, it says HOWEVER. “However, additional studies are needed to further characterize this relationship”.
CDC map of Zika Virus-infected areas
Of course, all of the above assumes that Zika virus makes it to North America (there are currently no locally transmitted Zika cases, only ones diagnosed in people returning from trips to other countries) OR that you are traveling to an area where the infection is known to be. “Where are those places???” you may be thinking… Well, here’s a helpful list! Prior to 2015, Zika virus outbreaks have occurred in areas of Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands, and in May 2015, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) issued an alert regarding the first confirmed Zika virus infections in Brazil. It has now spread through most of South America and into Central America, including Mexico.
Let’s recap. For Most people, Zika virus is going to be an annoying week of fever, rash, red eyes, and joint pain during which you need lots of sleep, lots of liquids, and lots of Tylenol. For Some, the symptoms will be bad enough to need hospitalization (mostly to treat more extreme dehydration or fevers). For Pregnant women, there is a chance your baby will be born with microcephaly or “other poor pregnancy outcomes”, though no one knows the percentage of chance or the reason Zika and microcephaly seem to be linked. Prevention involves the basic measures taken to prevent mosquito bites, as there is no vaccine currently. As of the writing of this article, you are probably going to have to travel to Brazil or Mexico or Africa to get Zika virus, although it’s already at the border so it may make it to us this year.
While Zika virus is certainly a terrifying prospect to expecting moms, for the rest of us it isn’t quite as terrifying as the whispers would have us believe. Be safe, be smart, and stay informed. Knowledge is power. Mighty Mosquito Control is here to Help Call (469) 443-8030 to schedule a spray today !
