Draco works in a bakery. In the back, after it’s closed, cleaning. It’s hard work. He doesn't mind it.

Draco works in a bakery. The same one he’s been working for ages, in the back, except now he works with dough and crème pât. It’s early mornings and long shifts.

Draco works in a bakery. He’s the first one in, unlocking the door every morning. He flicks the lightswitch, turns on the coffee machine. The sign on the door has his name.

Draco works in a bakery, even though he doesn’t have to. The most popular item on the menu, the most ridiculous thing he’s come up with, is sold out every single day. People queue for it in all his locations. He has made his first million galleons ages ago, yet he still comes to work and puts an apron on.

Draco doesn’t work in a bakery anymore because his grandkids begged him to take it easy for once. He bakes at home a lot though, like this morning, a batch of gingerbread cookies; his favourite thing to make, the one that’s made his bakeries famous. He waits for them to cool, coffee cup warming his hands. He pipes on golden round glasses carefully, adds the sharp edges of a lighting bolt. His husband will laugh and shake his head when he comes downstairs.

As you're about to sit down at the only place you can find on the giant step of the coloseum, you notice the spot is covered by the long free-flowing hair of the dwarven lady sitting infront of the spot. You look around and see how far you'd need to go before deciding it's not worth it and claim the spot, trying to avoid the hair as much as possible. As the band starts to warm up, you see her sqirm a bit, her hair doesn't seem pulled, softly running down her back. Then she turns to you with furrowed brow, "You're sitting on my pubes!" You raise yourself slighty as she stands up, and sure enough, the hair from her head ends at her hind. She mustn't have realized it trailed behind her from under her skirt. As you sort out not pulling the locks, she huffs at you disapprovingly. Then, "I thank my lucky stars, you stod up!" A wizard woman said to her "You've been sitting on my beard this whole time!" The dwarvan lady looks at her surprised, then, a smile forms on her bearded lips as she rolls her eyes at you "Alright, I forgive you." She chuckles with a snear, then she sits down closer to the wizard, careful of their hair, and starts a conversation with her.

🚨KOSA is back and being pushed heavily in congress right now

I really hate to do this, but KOSA, the bill that is a mass censorship and surveillance bill that will specifically censor all LGBT content online to "protect kids", is back.

KOSA advocates have brought in support from Elon Musk (I wish I was making this up) and are trying to get him to get Donald Trump to speak out in support of it. (And they lie and tell us it's not an anti-queer bill 🙄). The reason so is because the holdouts that are stopping this from passing are...republicans. It's GOP House leaders Steve Scalise and Mike Johnson. If they succeed and put this in an end of year spending bill, it will be near impossible to get it out and it will most likely be passed. Pro-KOSA advocates were on the hill today pushing hard to pass it. They have a lot of support behind them. There is only two weeks left in congress, so if they don't succeed, it's over.

The ONLY way this bill has stalled so much so far is because of calls driven to congress. It has worked and can still work. Please, spread this as much as you can and call House leadership and spread the word! You don't have to be from their district. You can pretend to be GOP. It doesn't matter, just call and voice your opposition. Trump and Musk clearly have a lot of sway over these people and I'm really scared they will succeed at the last minute!!

Here are their numbers: Scalise: 202-225-3015 Johnson: 202-225-2777

If you don't know what to say, use either call script! It takes less than a minute, I swear.

Guess who just impulse backed the cipher cult earlybird signed tier

[plethorawrites]

hey! what about clark who always makes you ride him because he’s afraid that with him on top he might hurt you cause he’ll lose control of his powers?

Oookkayyy. I believe I'm veering into some very precarious territory, lmao. But, yess, I do have thoughts! (NSFW content)

---___---___---___---___---___---___---___---___---_

Despite the fact that Clark Kent was 6'3 (while slouching), 225 pounds, and otherwise incredibly built, he was perhaps the least physically intimidating person alive. In fact, he was practically terrified of his own features—the same ones that made you utterly melt.

It wasn't until you discovered his identity as Superman that you realized the reason his hands never actually touched you during hugs, and he preferred you holding his arm over holding hands with each other. He was afraid. He always had been, in a way, but it was usually manageable.

That was because he wasn't trying to pursue a relationship.

You were affectionate, craving attention in whatever form possible, from cuddling on the couch to just grazing his pinky with yours while at lunch. And you wished he would return it more than he did. He wanted to. He really did. It was just so damn hard when he was terrified to hurt you. He'd never forgive himself if he did something that harmed you in any way.

The more physical your relationship became, the harder it became to reduce contact to the minimum amount he could get away with. You wanted more and so did he. But he could crush you without even meaning to, break your bones by just holding your hips, maybe even something worse than both of those things.

No, if you needed intimacy, he would gladly give it to you, since he wanted it just as badly, but he'd refrain from doing anything that could cause you even the slightest bit of discomfort or harm. You, being on top, was the only sensible answer.

Not to mention, incredibly attractive.

You always were, but there was something about the angle, about him just laying there, staring at you, watching you get lost in your own euphoria that drove him insane. The way your hair kept falling into your face, your fingernails kept digging further into the skin of his shoulders or chest, how your eyes sparkled brighter than usual.

To say nothing of how you actually felt, your hips soft against his bare skin with every slight roll you made, grinding against him slowly to prolong your time together as long as possible.

He could barely handle your usual smile, but the one you were giving him right now, sinking your teeth into your bottom lip to suppress a little huff of laughter made his heart clench.

"What?" He wondered, his breathing a bit heavy. He was doing a terrible job of keeping his composure and was pretty sure you could tell.

You shook your head, your hands planted firmly on his chest while admiring the way his head always tilted when he was curious. "Nothing," you mumbled, the word taking a little while to find since you had to focus enough to remember how to speak. "You just..." Your lips pursed as one especially long drag of your hips made your breath hitch. "... You're like a pillow prince." You teased a moment later.

Clark's mouth dropped a little, in surprise but not offense. You weren't exactly wrong. He was laying there, his hands behind his head, watching you do all the work, like always. But it wasn't because he wanted to. In fact, he was itching to touch you, to feel your soft skin under his hands and it was taking all his restraint not to flip you over. He just couldn't risk it.

"Maybe I just like the view," he replied, his hips jerking up slightly when he felt you clench around him. His jaw tightened at the sensation, his eyes fluttering closed as he reveled in the feeling for a moment. "You—" he swallowed, his eyes opening. "—are you so perfect on top of me."

Another bashful smile spread across your face as you dropped your head and resisted the urge to move your hair, afraid that if he moved his hands, he'd lose control entirely.

"You like watching me struggle," you muttered, your hands moving to his shoulders to grip them tightly, your movements slowing to a stop, trying to catch your breath. "Admit it..." You panted. "... you're a sadist."

He laughed, his body shaking under you. "It's alright, sweetheart," he assured you. "You're doing good for me."

You hummed slightly at the praise, closing your eyes for a moment. "It's exhausting," you admitted, your legs killing you despite the enjoyment. "Always so... difficult."

"I know," he responded sympathetically, hesitantly removing his hands from behind your back, hovering them over your thighs for a while, contemplating before carefully setting his hands on them. He just couldn't resist anymore. You were too damn tempting.

You moved your hands to cover his, a small smile tugging at your lips. "You gonna help me, for once?" You murmur, trying to joke but failing. The words came out with too much lust for that.

He nodded slightly, focusing on making sure his fingers didn't accidentally dig into your skin too hard. "Tell me," he said seriously, staring into your eyes. "The second I take it too far."

You nodded, leaning down to kiss him. "You're not going to hurt me," you whispered. "I trust you."

"HB 777 not only would fine libraries and librarians, but it would possibly require hard labor by those found guilty. Read that again: librarians would be sentenced to hard labor for daring to join their largest professional organization.

The bill would also potentially kill one of the largest graduate school programs in the state of Louisiana, Louisiana State University’s Masters of Library and Information Science program. Like all Master of Library and Information Science programs, it is accredited by the ALA and goes through a rigorous process to ensure that the curriculum is up-to-date and aligned with best practices in libraries.

Even if the bill is limited “only” to the use of tax money to support membership or attendance/enrollment in ALA-sponsored professional development, take a moment to look into whether or not police, fire, or other public entities are subject to similar legislation in Louisiana or elsewhere. You probably know the answer–and you probably won’t be surprised that one of the few institutional benefits offered to library workers is such membership.

If you haven’t been paying attention until now or you’ve thought these fears when laid out over the last several years were hyperbole and this is your wakeup call, there’s no time like the present to get to work advocating on behalf of your library. If you live in Louisiana, contact your representatives as soon as possible (here’s a very easy way to do that!). You can also reach out to Kellee Dickerson by phone at (225) 380-4232 and email hse064@legis.la.gov.

Then, reach out to your own libraries and offer your support, either by showing up at board meetings and/or running for those board positions when vacancies occur. Go borrow books from the library and get your writing hands going with letters to your local papers.

EveryLibrary also has a petition you can sign related to HB777."

Please take the time to sign the petition, spread the word, and support your local library.

“So you’re finally admitting it, then?” Barty asked smugly, nodding between Regulus and James who were holding hands.

“Admitting what?” Regulus asked, rolling his eyes as he and James stopped in front of Barty and Evan in the hall.

“That you’re dating, of course,” Evan said dryly, frowning. “Salazar, you’ve been disgusting to look at for weeks.”

Regulus felt all eyes on him as he shifted awkwardly from foot to foot. But they were right, as he grew more comfortable with James’s public displays of affection, there was no real way to deny it. “Yes,” he mumbled, feeling the heat on his cheeks.

“Ha!” Barty exclaimed, yelling so loud that several students sent him annoyed looks. “I knew it! How long, like exactly? I have money riding on it.”

This time, Barty and Evan turned to James to answer the question, waiting patiently as the older boy paused, seemingly to calculate.

“One month, one week, and three days.”

But it wasn’t James who readily knew the answer. It was Regulus who had replied before thinking, and who was now wishing he could melt into the ground as his boyfriend and friends gaped at him. 

“Erm…” he mumbled awkwardly, looking down, then over to the Gryffindor. “I think.”

James’s bright grin was worth the teasing he suffered from Barty and Evan for the next few days.

a/n: since when was fat a bad word? dni ugly fatphobes genuinely kiss my fat black ass.

content warning: more freaky froggie stuff becus cupid does it best!!

men whom love fat women !!

yes fat. with bellies that fold under their clothes and poke through their high waisted jeans. chunky arms that jiggle when they move, and that oh so lovely layer of fat under their chins, giving their round faces an almost childish glem. don't get them started on stretch marks— the tiger strips that cover their tummies, shoulders, and jiggly thighs only add to the mouthwatering appeal. fat women that are just so biteable, edible, and loveable. big strong men who laugh find it absolutely laughable at the thought of not being able to handle a woman with extra meat on their bones. was that a challenge? they sure see it as one.

big strong nasty men who laugh deep and proud as they squeal and gasp in surprise when they're lifted off their feet and chucked around like they didn't weigh over 225. proud nasty brutes who prove they can handle it by fucking their chunky lady standing up. holding every squish of fat up as they ram their even bigger cocks into their messy little pussies. dropping dumb dick that has them gasping and begging for air.

brutes who don't stop until they have their woman fucked out and panting. proud like they've just won the lottery. "still think i can't handle you?."

fuck. he sure can..

Goofy ahh boyfriend, Idk why but I think he'd be lowkey brain rot

he would always make fun of you every time he gets

mocks you about your height 24/7

he never fails to make you laugh

hides stuff in the upper shelves so you would need his help

pranks you all the time

once he pranked you so badly that you started crying from how badly he scared you

don't worry though he carried you to the sofa and gave you cuddles and begged you for forgiveness

complains about you stealing his stuff but secretly loves it

he thinks you look so small and cuddable (Grammarly says it's not a word but from now on it is)

sometimes he wants to bite you from cuteness aggression

he likes to pick you up spin you around and throw you on his bed

every time he hugs you he mocks you and says "Where did y/n go?" cuz you look so small around him🤏

he gets you gifts every time he sees something that reminds him of you

even though Ni-ki may not say that he loves you so much, he loves you with all his heart you're his whole world and don't need anything else.

I need to be heard out on something. Imagine a Squid Game AU Fanfiction.

──⇌••⇋──

Imagine your favorite character as the frontman watching over the games. His eyes locked onto the screen as red light greenlight plays on. Players start to run in an attempt to escape, taking down other players with them. Mass panic begins to wash over the crowd, as everyone realizes just how real these games are. Their numbers ring out over the intercom one by one solidifying their death. It's all standard business, the same games, just different people every time. Until his eyes land on you.

Your face is intent. You look unphased by the death surrounding you, but the small beads of sweat starting to form on your forehead tell him that you're more afraid than you're letting on.

"Green Light"

That signal sends you off sprinting forward and weaving in and out of the crowd. Despite your fear, you don't hide behind other players, you confidently stand in front, running with all your strength. Then, quickly you swerve, placing your body in front of someone cowering in the dirt, and moving your hand over your mouth.

"Red Light"

The only thing standing between this person and the doll is you. They're shaking on the ground as you whisper something to them. You are calm and steady, even while talking. Whatever it is you say to them seems to work, because once the words 'Green Light' ring out again, they are locked behind you as the two of you continue to run forward together.

You are either the bravest player he's ever seen or the stupidest he thought to himself. Still, using yourself as a human shield in order to protect this person at least deserved some praise.

For as long as he's been watching the games he knows one thing for sure. With that self-sacrificial habit of yours, you would not make it far on your own. The other players will take your kindness, and exploit it as far as you would allow them to.

"Pull up player 225's file."

On command you file is pulled up on the screen.

Y/N.

The file stated that you are in a large amount of debt due to an ex-partner of yours opening a few bank accounts in your name, and racking up quite the gambling debt. And here you were still playing the hero even when your life was on the line. You really were something else.

"Sir, the first round is almost over," one of the workers spoke up.

He didn't respond, glancing back up at the game to get one last look at you just in time to see you cross the finish line. He gave a small smirk. Maybe while he's down there mingling, and pretending to be one of the players, he could introduce himself.

──⇌••⇋──

I really wanna write this, but I'm not sure what character to use as the frontman in this story. If you guys have any ideas, or wanna see anything specific let me know. I can also do headcanons for individual characters as the frontman instead of writing a whole fic about it, if that's what would be preferred.

I'm also not sure which anime to go with. I could do MHA, or Tokyo Revengers, OR I could stick with an actual character from Squid Game and just add Squid Game to my writing list.

Let me know what you want to see!
